Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 457 Soul returns to Yunmeng
Su Jidan judged from his voice that the green-robed monk was about 30 years old.This person's Taoism is lower than Yuan Sheng's, because he doesn't know the Heavenly Walking Wind Control Technique, so he can only use the footwork of flying over eaves and walls.

At this time, Su Ji, as a bird, has the advantage of flying.

A spring swallow can fly hundreds of miles continuously, and it only takes a few days to fly from the south to the north.Su Ji's flying ability was comparable to that of a swallow, while the speed of the green-robed monk was like a poor horse.

However, although Su Ji was fast, he never dared to get too close to the opponent, at least keeping a distance of ten feet, lest he would cause unnecessary trouble if he was discovered.

Despite traveling day and night, the physical strength of the green-robed monk is limited after all.Whenever he stopped to rest, Su Ji would take the opportunity to catch small living creatures nearby to feed his hunger.Following this for three days, Su Ji finally arrived at the foot of Chaoge Yunmeng Mountain.

Yuan Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped down from the tree and came to meet the dusty green-robed monk.Taking advantage of the moment Yuan Sheng opened the barrier, Su Ji quickly flew into the mountains.

The green-robed Taoist priest looked up at the bird shadow passing over his head, and asked solemnly, "Where is the envoy of the Qinglian Banner?"

Yuan Sheng replied in a low mood: "Eldest brother is in the mourning hall, come with me."

Su Ji waved her wings freely, flew over the long-lost Yunmeng Mountain, and landed silently on the branch of a big tree outside Guigu Cave.

Outside Guigu Cave, three-year-old Wang Chan was wearing a little red bellyband, lying on the ground bare buttocks, and was using a branch to drive away ants.A ray of sunlight illuminates the gloomy Guigu Cave, and Yang Xiao and Princess Wansheng can be seen sitting and talking inside.

Yang Xiao said: "Your father sent shrimp soldiers and crab generals to pick you up, why didn't you go?"

Princess Wansheng said: "Master's bones are not cold, how can I leave?"

Yang Xiao got up and walked out of the cave, clenched his fists and said, "That's right, we have to do something for Master."

Looking at the apprentices with immature expressions, Su Ji stood on the branch and said in his heart: You don't need to do anything, just practice in the cave with peace of mind.

Princess Wansheng followed behind Yang Xiao, and said solemnly: "Now that the master is gone, if your father comes to look for you..."

Yang Xiao said decisively: "I won't leave! I want to avenge Master!"

Princess Wansheng sighed: "Uncle Master said, Master was killed by the gods... How can you fight against the sky?"

Yang Xiao looked up at the sky and said decisively: "One day, I will definitely fight to break the sky!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chan raised his fleshy little hand, pointed to the treetops outside the cave, and read a word: "Bird..."

Princess Halloween turned her head to look, and couldn't help admiring: "What a beautiful bird!"

Yang Xiao muttered: "What species is this? I've never seen this kind of bird on the mountain..."

Su Ji didn't want to attract the attention of the apprentices for the time being, so he flapped his wings and left.Flying over Guigu Cave, Su Ji walked two hundred feet westward, and what he saw was a majestic palace with three gilded characters "Xuanqing Palace" written on the plaque.Now the main hall of the ancestral court of Xuanzong's dharma lineage has been changed into a mourning hall.Hua Rulang looked lonely, and led several members of Xuanzong's sect to guard outside the door.

A woman's mournful cry came from the mourning hall, the voice was resentful and desolate.

Su Ji quietly flew into the mourning hall and landed on the beams of the roof, only to see the candlelight in the mourning hall, with his own coffin in the center.Beside them are the coffins of Yun Yi, Jing Yang, Taoist Huangmei, Ye Mozi, Li Rumei and others.

At this time, Bao Si, dressed in filial piety, knelt in front of Su Ji's coffin and wept bitterly, accompanied by Ji Bofu and Xiao Chan.Even though Bao Si was crying like pear blossoms and rain, the two children no longer had a single tear in their eyes.

Ji Bo persuaded: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so mourn and obey."

Xiao Chan also said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have been crying for three days and three nights, if you continue like this, your body..."

Bao Si stared at the two children with red eyes, and said angrily, "You ungrateful thing! I shouldn't have rescued you back!"

Su Ji stood on the beam and watched, with mixed feelings in her heart. Although she thought that Bao Si would be sad for her death, she couldn't imagine that she would be so sad.Really couldn't bear to see her so sad, Su Ji waved his wings, swooped down, and circled around his coffin several times, trying to sing the tune of "Guan Ju" to let her discover her identity.However, Su Ji couldn't control the tone very well, and the calls seemed disorganized.

Everyone in the mourning hall looked up, never seeing such a bird.

Bao Si knew the melody quite well, and could vaguely hear some tricks, her eyes were stunned, she raised her head and called out, "Brother... It's my brother who came back to look for me!"

Yuan Sheng walked into the mourning hall, knelt down facing Su Ji's coffin, and said with tears in his eyes, "Second Master, Master...has already left..."

Hua Rulang knew that Baosi was not in good spirits recently, and must have had an illusion again, walked into the mourning hall and comforted him: "If Master is alive in heaven, I don't want to see you become like this."

Bao Si's expression darkened, and she wept again.

Hua Rulang lowered his head and let out a long sigh, then raised his hand towards Su Ji.

Su Ji was taken aback for a moment, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.But it was too late, a sudden force sucked him into Hua Rulang's hands.He was held in the palm of his apprentice's hand, he couldn't move at all, no matter how much he yelled, it was useless.

Hua Rulang took the bird and ordered the gatekeepers outside the mourning hall to release it.

A short and fat disciple ordered, and took Su Ji who had turned into a bird with both hands.However, seeing the strange appearance of the bird, the short and fat disciple did not release it, but led Su Ji towards the woodshed.

Su Ji tried to cut his palm with his claws to escape, but the fat disciple's grip was safe, just enough to avoid Su Ji's sharp claws.

"Look! What is this!" the short and fat disciple said to a thin and tall disciple outside the firewood room.

The thin and tall disciple glanced at Su Ji, and exclaimed, "This bird is really good!"

The chunky disciple said: "From today onwards, I will raise it."

The thin and tall disciple asked curiously, "Does it have a name?"

The short and fat disciple looked at the pattern on Su Ji's body, and said with an idea: "It's called Huamei!"

Su Ji yelled and protested, emphasizing loudly that he was a male, but he could only make the sound of "chirp chirp chirp" with one mouth.

The chubby disciple said excitedly: "Huamei is so happy, it seems that she likes this name very much!"

Su Ji wants to cry but has no tears.

The short and fat disciple held Su Ji in one hand, brought a birdcage from nowhere, locked Su Ji in it, and hung it on the eaves outside the woodshed.

Su Ji stood in the birdcage depressed, and found that there was a fence outside the firewood house, and inside it was a big wild boar with a tuft of mane on the back of its head.The more Su Ji looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he recognized that it was a wild boar raised by Jingyang before his death, and it was also named Zhu Ganglu.

Zhu Gangguan is not an ordinary pig, but a "demon star" that fell from the sky.Su Ji remembered that when he saw it for the first time, it was still a little pig, but now the pig's waist was thicker than the mouth of a well.Someone brought this pig all the way from Kunlun Mountain to Yunmeng Mountain. Su Ji could only think of one reason: this pig must have been a sacrifice to be buried with Jingyang.
