Chapter 230 Spiritual Fire
[I need to go to my hometown in the mortal world. Something has happened.] She sent another message to Ji Shiyan, fearing that he would go to Wuji Palace to look for her but would be disappointed.
But he asked her to wait, saying that he would go with her. Thinking of meeting him, Li Yirou changed into the things he gave her.
"It's just right. Going to the mortal world can help me gain experience and cultivate my mind." Li Yirou didn't have to wait long before Ji Shiyan appeared. He was happy to see her wearing the clothes he gave her.
Ji Shiyan and she walked out of the city. Li Yiru remembered that she had only flown with a sword once, but the speed was not as fast as a spirit boat. Although she was a little tempted, Xifeng was more important, so she gave up.
He actually made an excuse that he was doing it to cultivate his mind, saying, "I haven't cultivated enough yet." Li Yirou thought his excuse was funny.
Speaking of this, I became curious about his dreams, "What did you dream about, and how long did it take you to wake up?"
"Two months, I dreamed that...you and Fang are also a Taoist couple, and both of you ignored me." He looked embarrassed, and Li Yirou smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"What about you? I didn't appear in your dream much, did I?"
Li Yirou thought of that scene, lowered her head to stop the strange picture from appearing in her mind, and said righteously: "No, I also dreamed that you ran away with someone else."
She still cared about him very much. Ji Shiyan confirmed her feelings again, and her insecurity was gradually decreasing.
"You said that the tracking insect disappeared, does that mean the person is dead?" Ji Shiyan didn't know much about the insect, and he chatted with her while flying. Li Yirou also told him some things about Xifeng.
"It was so easy to open up the meridians, which shows that your friend has good aptitude. Doesn't she have any interest in cultivation? In fact, as she gets older, she will have to suffer more in the beginning, and her cultivation will gradually become smoother." Ji Shiyan felt sorry for others.
"Then let me ask her? Now that her husband is in trouble, maybe she won't be so lovesick." Li Yirou also felt that Xifeng might forget her past pain if she changed her environment, but she still had her daughter.
"Love-brained?" Ji Shiyan didn't quite understand. Li Yirou explained it to him, and Ji Shiyan nodded frequently. "I hope I can become such a person."
This doesn't seem like a good word...
Perhaps it was because Ji Shiyan was driving the spirit boat, and the higher his cultivation level, the faster he could fly, so they were not far from Linxian Village when dawn approached.
Across the vast sea, Li Yirou saw the location of the village in the distance turned into an orange-red light and connected into one piece.
"Fire..." Ji Shiyan sped up and when he got closer, Li Yirou saw that the fire was still burning, so he gathered rain to put it out.
But she didn't expect that the heavy rain she gathered couldn't put out the fire.
"It's not an ordinary fire." Ji Shiyan asked Li Yirou to stay on the spiritual boat and went down to take a look. But he couldn't understand why this ordinary village would be set on fire.
Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy in the mortal world was insufficient, so Li Yirou's simplified Cloud and Rain Technique had little effect on fire.
She let the spirit boat fly, and with the spiritual power stored in her dantian, she deliberately condensed a rain with abundant spiritual power.
This time, the flame made a crackling sound when it met the water, and it became smaller and smaller.
The spiritual fire was special, and it did not emit any smoke. Linxian Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it was probably not noticed by the neighboring villages. It just burned the whole village quietly, and after the fire was extinguished, it turned into a charred black.
The person who lit the fire set the scope to ensure that the entire village, including the villagers, would be burned to death, leaving no one alive, and without implicating others.
Li Yirou saw that perhaps a few people ran out of the house when they were awake, but could not leave the formation. Their bodies were curled up and twisted, and their dark bodies revealed endless fear and terror. Li Yirou seemed to sense their terrified and resentful souls.
She asked Ji Shiyan to come back and drive the spirit boat to Xifeng's house. There were also two charred adult corpses, one of which was holding a small child in its arms. Could it be Zhaodi...
Li Yirou felt a little sorry for the lively little girl, who died in the flames. When the wind blew, their barely remaining human forms turned into dust and disappeared with the wind. The spiritual fire here was even stronger.
"Is this your friend's house?" Ji Shiyan asked. Li Yiru said "hmm" softly. Perhaps because she repaid the original owner's favor last time, her feelings for Xifeng gradually faded.
Anyway, she didn't feel sad, just some curiosity, "Who could have done this?"
Apart from the original owner who held resentment towards the villagers, she couldn't think of anyone else, but it was definitely not her who did it.
"Let's go back. We'll talk on the way." Li Yirou was worried that Ji Shiyan would feel uncomfortable. After all, there was no spiritual energy here.
"Cultivator? Demonic beast? I just hope it's not a demon." Although Ji Shiyan was affected by the turbid air, he didn't care about anything with her by his side.
Li Yirou didn't know much about the demon race. She only remembered the half-human, half-beast appearance she saw when she supported the Western Territory last time.
"What is the difference between the demon race, demon beasts, and human cultivators?" She asked the question in her heart. The demon race really was like a hybrid.
Ji Shiyan began to talk about it. The demon race was originally monster beasts. Their relationship with humans was just like that of monster beasts today. Some of them became close to humans and turned into spirit beasts, or they would raise humans as pets; some fought with humans and killed each other.
When a demon beast cultivates to the immortal level, it can transform into a human form.
Later, after the goddess Fuyao ascended to heaven, perhaps because she didn't want the two races to always fight each other, she sealed the demon race in the demon world.
Due to the lack of spiritual energy, the demons found new ways of cultivation, transforming into half-human, half-beast forms. They have also been trying to break the seal completely and occupy the world of cultivation as their territory.
"You said... Senior Brother Luo once took away the Fuyao Sword and broke the seal. Why? Is he a spy from the demon clan?" Ji Shiyan had told her some stories about Luo Hanchu and Si Xu before. Li Yiru remembered that she was instigated by the demon clan in her dream and couldn't help but doubt.
Ji Shiyan shook his head, "Probably not. Rumor has it that the goddess said that whoever can take out the Fuyao Sword will own this divine weapon.
It just happened to be on the seal, and many people tried but failed. Senior Brother took it out in one go.
Unfortunately, after he obtained the Fuyao Sword, the seal began to loosen, and many people blamed it on their senior brother.
My brother was still a young boy at the time, and although I heard what Master said, I don’t think he did it on purpose.”
Li Yirou asked, "Then why did he use the Explosive Spirit Gu? Was it because many people were besieging him at that time?"
"Well, they said that the seal was loose and they wanted to punish Brother, but in fact they were focusing on the Fuyao Sword. In order to escape, he used the Explosive Spirit Gu.
After returning to Qianji Pavilion, the master hurriedly took him to Fanyin Pavilion and saved his life. But later, for some reason, although he missed his brother very much, he still severed the master-disciple relationship with him. "
"Maybe he was forced?" Li Yirou thought that this was a kind of invisible punishment for Luo Hanchu.
Anyone can take the spirit sword, but the seal was broken after he took it. Perhaps he cannot be punished openly, so he can only be made a casual cultivator and no sect can accept him.
