"Can I go and see it?" Zhen Ping'er was asking both Mu Yi and herself.
"Okay, follow me, I will take you to see this river and lake." Mu Yi's voice contained a hint of confusion.
"Follow you?" Zhen Ping'er looked at Mu Yi.
"Yes, follow me and I can make you stronger." Mu Yi nodded.
"What price do I need to pay?" Zhen Ping'er is not a fool. She knows very well that if you want to get something, you have to pay for it. Pies in the sky will not fall for no reason, and others will not help her selflessly.
It seems self-evident what the greatest value of a beautiful woman is in the eyes of a man.
"It turns out that all men are really the same." A thought suddenly appeared in Zhen Ping'er's heart. She originally thought that Mu Yi would be different. After all, from the beginning, Mu Yi didn't show any lust or excitement when he saw her.
, there is no so-called sympathy for her.
This is often the case with people. The more others don't care about themselves, the more they won't admit defeat. But when the other person cares, they will be disappointed again.
"Your loyalty, and..." Mu Yi said slowly, and Zhen Ping'er's heart was lifted.
"And your faith." Mu Yi finally said.
"Faith?" Zhen Ping'er was stunned and looked at Mu Yi with some confusion. Loyalty is easy to understand. After all, no one wants his subordinates to betray him, but what about faith? Do you want yourself to believe in him? Alone?
The land, the city god, and many cults may require faith, but in Zhen Ping'er's eyes, most of them are a way to deceive people and make money, but she has never heard of the same with Zhuque Hall. After all, such a behemoth,
You value being upright, so how could you go astray like this?
Could it be that she understood it wrong?
"Yes, it is faith." Mu Yi said, and a rune flew out from between his eyebrows. This rune was the Suzaku mark. Today, only Yun Mengxuan has the Suzaku mark.
In the past, Mu Yi always thought that there were only three Suzaku marks, belonging to the three chiefs respectively. It was not until the Xin Lan was completely perfected that he realized that there were twelve such marks in total, and it was these twelve sub-runes that constituted the Xin Lan.
The main rune of the lamp, Mu Yi also has the perfect level of strength because of the fusion of his mind with this main rune.
When the lamp is completed, the sub-runes can be split again and will not affect the main rune. However, splitting the sub-runes requires sufficient energy, which is lamp oil.
There was still some remaining lamp oil before, so Mu Yi was able to split a sub-rune. As long as Zhen Ping'er absorbs this sub-rune, a restriction will be planted in her soul. This restriction is stronger than the original ghost slave.
The restriction is much more overbearing. Even if Zhen Ping'er's strength exceeds that of Mu Yi in the future, it is impossible for her to betray him.
Moreover, this rune can also speed up the host's cultivation. The reason why Yun Mengxuan can advance so quickly is not only because of her qualifications, but also because of the lamp.
Of course, the biggest function of this kind of sub-rune is to contribute the power of faith. Once upon a time, Mu Yi deeply realized the benefits of the power of faith, especially after being refined by the lamp, that kind of power can be called the purest of heaven and earth.
Anyone can absorb it. This kind of power can not only break through bottlenecks, but also directly increase cultivation level without worrying about any signs of instability.
However, because there is only one source of faith, Yun Mengxuan, the power of faith provided is too little. Just eating the lamp itself is not enough. Mu Yi wants it, and it will undoubtedly be even harder, unless Mu Yi is seriously injured and dying like last time.
, otherwise don’t expect Xindeng to give it up on his own initiative.
Because of this, Mu Yi had the idea of increasing the source of faith, but he has not found a suitable candidate. After all, there are only twelve sub-runes in total, so he must be cautious.
Of course, Mu Yi used to think that only women could bear the Vermillion Bird Mark. This idea was a bit ridiculous. As long as they sincerely surrendered and fused with the Zi Rune willingly, it could become a new source of faith.
As for why the old Taoist only chose the third-largest boss and did not further develop Xin Deng's ability, Mu Yi now vaguely understands that it all boils down to the veteran's character. Even if the third-largest boss is not too important, he can't even have three sub-runes.
I won't use it. After all, this sub-rune boils down to two words: slavery.
Mu Yi has never been a pedantic character. Since increasing the source of faith can quickly increase his strength, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity, especially since the Dharma Ending Catastrophe is coming soon. When the nest is overturned, there will be no intact eggs.
?Only by fighting against the odds can there be a glimmer of hope.
As early as when they were on the mountain, Mu Yi had an idea in his mind. After all, whether Zhen Ping'er or Yan Wushuang, their qualifications were among the best among their peers. If they could become a source of faith and integrated with the Suzaku mark, their strength would definitely increase.
An outbreak, and the future practice will be even more beneficial. At the same time, they can also continuously provide Mu Yi with the power of faith.
However, Mu Yi has been hesitant. It is precisely for this reason that he did not bring it up until they broke up. Now, fate has once again entangled them together, and Mu Yi naturally has no intention of letting it go. As the saying goes, heaven
If you don't take it, you will be punished.
"This rune is also called the Vermillion Bird Seal. As long as you fuse it, you can at least open a life wheel again." Mu Yi said lightly, without any intention of forcing it. This kind of thing is what you and I want. If Zhen Ping'er
If you don't accept it sincerely, you can't integrate the Suzaku mark at all.
"After the fusion, I can only listen to you from now on, right?" Zhen Ping'er raised her head and looked at Mu Yi.
"Well, you can put it that way." Mu Yi nodded. Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that as long as he was fused with the Suzaku mark, Zhen Ping'er would never betray her in this life.
"Okay, I do." Zhen Ping'er didn't seem to hesitate much and said directly. Even Mu Yi was a little surprised. Just looking at Zhen Ping'er's expression, there was no anxiety or uneasiness, just as calm as ever.
"No, I don't agree." At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Yan Wushuang walked in angrily. Although she had withdrawn before, she did not leave because she was worried.
, but quietly eavesdropped at the door.
Mu Yi didn't deliberately suppress his voice when talking to Zhen Ping'er, so Yan Wushuang heard everything clearly.
"Originally I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless and take advantage of others' danger." Yan Wushuang looked at Mu Yi with anger on her face. Fortunately, she had not lost her mind yet and knew that she was no match for Mu Yi.
Mu Yi was silent and did not even refute, because now he was indeed taking advantage of others' danger as Yan Wushuang said.
"Wushuang, this is my own decision." Zhen Ping'er said suddenly. Then, she looked at the Vermillion Bird mark in front of her, which was the sub-rune, with a trace of sadness and a trace of determination on her face.
She has never been an ambitious person. Even if possible, she only hopes to live a plain and simple life. Unfortunately, the existence of Zhu Xianglan is doomed to her that all this can only become a fantasy. Once upon a time, she longed to escape from Zhu Xianglan's
Control, although she is her respected master, that kind of life is not what she wants.
But when Zhu Xianglan really died in front of her, she was suddenly at a loss. She didn't even know how to go about the rest of her life, or what the meaning of her life was.
Rather than saying that Mu Yi's words moved her, it was better to say that this life of being led by others made her feel like she had found her goal and the direction to live. She would rather be manipulated like a puppet than to be manipulated like a puppet.
Live like a walking zombie.
"Are you crazy? Do you know what this means?" Yan Wushuang looked at Zhen Ping'er in disbelief. During that time on the mountain, the two also formed a deep friendship.
"You know, isn't it good to be controlled by others and listen to others' words from now on?" Zhen Ping'er suddenly smiled, and before Yan Wushuang could react, her fingers had already touched the rune.
For a moment, Zhen Ping'er's whole body was shaken, and it felt like an electric current passed through her fingertips. For a moment, she couldn't move at all.
Then, the Suzaku mark struck her eyebrows like lightning. She could clearly feel that there seemed to be something more in her mind, but she couldn't explain it for a while. She even felt that there was a strange connection between herself and Mu Yi.
There was an extra connection, and he developed a good impression of Mu Yi, as if the person in front of him was the person closest to him in his life.
"I···"
Just when Zhen Ping'er was about to speak, the Suzaku mark between her eyebrows suddenly flickered, and then a blue flame directly enveloped her.
This sudden change also startled Zhen Ping'er, but she soon discovered that the flames did not cause any harm to her. On the contrary, she felt pure power drilling into her body.
The realm she had just broken through before was quickly stabilized, and she had many more insights in her mind. From opening the first life wheel to the sixth life wheel, the details of the content were eye-opening for her.
"It turns out I went to the wrong place."
Based on the comparison of these experiences, Zhen Ping'er quickly discovered some problems with her previous practice. At that moment, she sat cross-legged on the ground and began to correct her previous mistakes bit by bit.
All this happened so fast that Yan Wushuang didn't even react. But at this moment, she already understood that it was useless no matter what she said. Fortunately, Zhen Ping'er was fine at the moment. Although the flames on the surface of her body were visible,
It was scary to go up there, but it didn't cause any harm to Zhen Ping'er.
Seeing Zhen Ping'er fall into a spiritual state similar to enlightenment, Yan Wushuang's expression suddenly became complicated. She knew that from now on, her good sister was no longer the same, and the culprit of all this was the person next to her.
Man, Mu Yi.
"Why?" Yan Wushuang looked at Mu Yi and asked. (To be continued)
