"Tianhai soul essence?" Ye Guchen and Xingzhu were stunned for a moment.
This blue crystal pendant was just an accessory that Mu Xingzhu happened to take a fancy to at a stall. At that time, Mu Xingzhu didn't realize there was anything special about this pendant.
She just loves it out of pure love.
Not to mention Mu Xingzhu, Ye Guchen had ignored this pendant before and didn't notice anything special about it.
Ying Ning held the soul essence of Tianhai in her hand, and there was a hint of memory and a trace of infatuation in her beautiful eyes.
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously, adding color to her already soft appearance.
"Would you like to hear a story?" Yingning said in a faint tone.
Both Ye Guchen and Mu Xingzhu were silent, representing acquiescence.
"Once upon a time, in the Void Sword Sect, there was a proud daughter of heaven."
"She was extraordinary when she was born. She is an eighth-grade genius. She has an immortal soul bead in her brain, and her soul can be transformed into a soul."
"It is precisely because of this that this proud woman has always looked down on others, and no one can compare with her talent."
"No man in the sect can be looked down upon by her. The woman even feels that maybe she will have to spend her whole life alone in boring cultivation."
"Until one day, while she was out training, she met a man who was seriously injured. He was a swordsman. The woman felt pity and brought him back to the Void Sword Sect."
"That man's surname is Ye..." Yingning said and looked at Ye Guchen.
Ye Guchen's eyes revealed a strange light, and his mind moved slightly.
He finally understood why Yingning looked at him with such reminiscing and infatuated eyes when he was at the bridge.
"As the man's cultivation level recovered, his strength gradually became known to the woman. The woman never knew that there was someone with higher talent and strength than her in this world."
"The man is very strong and can be called the supreme genius, but he has a very gentle personality, neither arrogant nor impetuous. He always has a warm smile on his face."
"As time goes by, the man and the woman get along for a long time. They watch the stars together on the green hills, chat casually in the pavilion, and watch the passing water on the stone bridge."
"Unconsciously, the woman has already fallen deeply in love with the man and cannot extricate herself."
"Until one day, the man recovered from his injuries and became more powerful, and he was about to leave."
"He said that he came from Tianshan and would eventually go back to Tianshan. This was his fate."
"The woman refused, wailed, cried, and felt like her heart was twisting. She never knew what it felt like to fall in love with someone..."
"The man said, if love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night..."
"That day, the man stood at the bridge and said goodbye to the woman. He gave the woman a blue crystal pendant because he knew that the woman liked the color blue and always wore a blue dress."
"He also said that he will definitely come back. This is the oath he made..."
"The woman watched the man leave, holding the blue crystal pendant in her hand and bursting into tears."
"Since then, the woman has been standing at the bridge, waiting and waiting..."
"When the sea turned into mulberry fields, when the green hills turned into barren mountains, when the rivers dried up, he never came..."
"Later, the Void Sword Sect went through great changes, and the woman died in the accident. Because of the Immortal Soul Bead, her soul could be preserved forever, but the blue crystal pendant was lost."
"I don't know how many years have passed since then, and only the woman with the soul is left, wandering like a lonely soul all day long. She has not left, and she cannot leave the Void Sword Realm in the form of the soul."
"The most common thing she does is to stand at the end of the bridge and say quietly, "It has been a thousand years since love broke up on the Blue Bridge, and you have not yet seen your return date..."
"You said you would come back, but you broke your oath, and I turned into a lonely soul, standing on the bridge for hundreds of years, thousands of years, vicissitudes of life, wind and rain unchanged, always waiting for your figure to appear..."
As Yingning talked, she looked into the distance with her beautiful eyes and shed tears.
The tears were actually more transparent and clear than the sea soul essence that day.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Mu Xingzhu was already crying when he heard this touching story, and his face was covered with tear stains.
Ye Guchen also had a hint of sadness on his face.
After experiencing Situ Hongxue and Su Jianshi, he understood this feeling best.
This may be what is called fate tricking people.
"This... is my story." The tears in the corners of Yingning's eyes evaporated, and she held Tianhai Soul Marrow tightly.
Many doubts in Ye Guchen's heart finally had answers.
"Uuuu...Senior Yingning, your story is so sad..." Mu Xingzhu sobbed.
"Are you sad? Maybe you are, but in your memories, you are more happy with being with him..." Ying Ning said, looking at Ye Guchen quietly with her beautiful eyes.
She said with infinite nostalgia in her voice: "You know, Ye Guchen, you are very similar to him, not just because you both have the surname Ye, but because you both have a temperament, a sword-like pride.
I think it was precisely because of this that he decided to return to Tianshan."
"Tianshan, what exactly is that place?" Ye Guchen was curious.
He always had a sense of curiosity about this predecessor who also had the same surname of Ye and was a sword cultivator.
"I don't know where the Tianshan Mountain is, but from what he said, it is a mountain at the end of the Southern Sky Territory. There is a group of people who are crazy about swords living on the mountain..."
"The end of the southern sky..." Ye Guchen frowned slightly.
He thought of his father, whose face was vague in his memory, and what his aunt Xuan Su once said.
"Whenever you can defeat Gu Shaoyang and truly set foot in the vast world of the Southern Sky Territory, you can look for traces of your father..."
"Ye's surname, Tianshan, father, is this a coincidence or is there any connection?" Ye Guchen had more doubts in his mind.
"Senior Yingning, what are your plans next?" Mu Xingzhu asked.
"I want to teach you the Immortal Soul Pearl and Soul Sword Intent." Yingning looked at Mu Xingzhu and said.
"Ah...then if the immortal soul bead is lost, wouldn't the senior's soul be destroyed? In this case, Xingzhu would rather not have this opportunity." Mu Xingzhu said hurriedly.
Hearing Mu Xingzhu's words, Yingning's eyes were filled with softness and satisfaction.
She said: "No problem, you brought me this Tianhai soul marrow. After passing the immortal soul orb to you, my soul will live in the Tianhai soul marrow."
"In exchange, I will pass on the opportunity to you, but I need you to take me away from here, and then go to Tianshan Mountain to find his traces..."
Ying Ning said, with a hint of joy in her tone.
She didn't care that he broke his oath, or that he betrayed her for thousands of years.
She just wanted to keep the remnants of her soul, go to Tianshan, and see him again, and that would be enough.
"Senior, as long as Xingzhu has the ability, he will definitely help you." Mu Xingzhu's eyes were still a little red, holding a pink fist.
Yingning smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Ye Guchen and said: "Ye Guchen, although you can't get the chance from me, you have passed the test after all. If possible, I will help you if you need anything.
"
Ye Guchen pondered, and then said: "I heard that in this Void Sword Realm, there are thunders from heaven and earth, which is very important to Ye."
"Are you talking about the thunder wave?" Yingning said calmly.
"Senior knows?" Ye Guchen's eyes lit up.
"That thunder tide is the training ground for the disciples of the Sword Sect. There are indeed heaven and earth thunders in it. Now things and people have changed, and the thunders are useless if they stay there. This thing may help you get the heaven and earth thunders."
After Yingning said this, he waved his hand and a jade talisman fell into Ye Guchen's hand.
