At night, Teng Yu waited until Yin Xu's breathing had stabilized before he opened his eyes. He lightly pushed Yin Xu and softly called out: "Huo Tian, Huo Tian..."
Seeing that he did not react, Teng Yu knew that it was the effect of the medicine, so he got up and put on his clothes, and quietly walked out of the tent.
After he left, Yin Xu finally opened his eyes and revealed a victorious smile.
He quickly got up and put on his clothes. Then he stuffed the pillow under his bed to create a fake body. Only then did he chase after her.
Inside the Loong'an Temple, Mo Hanshan had changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes, put on a hat, and covered up that bright bald head.
"Third Prince is here." A rare smile appeared on his face. He seemed to be a few years younger and was brimming with energy and vitality.
Teng Yu nodded and walked towards the blood pool, greedily looking at the woman inside the crystal coffin. It had been six years since his mother passed away, and his memory of the smiling and gentle mother was fading bit by bit.
Tonight might be the last night he would see this familiar face, so Teng Yu's heart felt a little heavy.
After a long while, Teng Yu turned and asked: "Uncle Mo, can we begin?"
Mo Hanshan moved the buddhist beads in his hands and recited a few Buddhist scriptures.
After being a monk for a few years, he had gotten used to it. He had already decided that when Ru Er revived, he would truly leave home to help those dead souls. Even if he did that, it would not be able to wash away his sins.
"The time has come. Let's begin." He closed his eyes and gestured to the old monk at his side.
"Ah …" Soon, a mournful scream reverberated in the spacious stone room.
Teng Yu looked on expressionlessly as the blood flowed to the complicated array formation on the ground. In an instant, the stone room was filled with light, as if it was about to break through the blue dome of heaven.
With the completion of the formation, the blood pool immediately boiled, and lines of red light visible to the naked eye drilled into the crystal coffin, finally converging into the Empress Liu's sky spirit cave.
The group of people stared fixedly at the changes within the crystal coffin, afraid that they would miss out on a single detail.
Time trickled by, and the time it took for an incense stick to burn was as long as a day and night. Teng Yu clenched his fists tightly, his sharp nails piercing into his palms without him knowing.
Yin Xu hid in the corner closest to the blood pool and also watched the scene attentively. He sighed with emotion: It's already a miracle for a normal person to be able to do this, it's just that he's still far from reviving the woman in the crystal coffin.
Indeed, in the next moment, the situation changed. The red thread that was continuously shooting into the Heavenly Spirit Point in Empress Liu suddenly stopped, the boiling blood pool returned to its normal calm, and only the Soul Gathering Formation was still shining brightly.
Others might not be able to see it, but Yin Xu could feel it. It was all the spirits that had died here, and they were trying to break through the woman's body.
This was a good thing! Yin Xu licked his lips, sat down cross legged, and took out a handkerchief from his bosom. He bit his finger, and quickly drew a few runes on it.
Compared to the 100,000 dragon soul flag from back then, the effect of the thousand soul soul flag couldn't compare, but it was better than nothing.
Putting away the newly made simple soul flag, before Yin Xu could even get up, he heard a sorrowful shout: "No … "This is impossible!"
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the crystal coffin that was originally floating on top of the pool of blood was slowly sinking downwards. The female corpse within the crystal coffin was withering away at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
Mo Hanshan leapt forward and lifted the crystal coffin out of the blood pool with Teng Yu, who had hurried over with him.
Just at this moment, Yin Xu also moved. Like a light breeze, he floated into the blood pool, with one foot on the edge of the crystal coffin, he bent down and placed his palm on the female corpse's forehead.
Teng Yu and Mo Hanshan shouted at the same time, "Who is it?" Although they couldn't see anyone, the sudden weight of the crystal coffin was enough to alert them.
Yin Xu did not waste any time, after getting hold of the Soul Gathering Pearl, he anxiously retreated. In the place where he was originally standing, a gust of wind from his palm struck the stone pillar beside him and it snapped in half.
Yin Xu thought to himself, what a close call, this palm of Teng Yu's was filled with power, if it hit his body, he wouldn't be able to live.
How vicious! Yin Xu curled his lips, the sense of guilt from before completely disappeared without a trace. He glanced at Teng Yu, then turned and left the basement.
Teng Yu frowned, the fingers he held behind his back were trembling, yet again it was that familiar smell, could it be him? But how could that be possible?
"No …" Ru'er … Ru Er … Mo Hanshan didn't have time to think, he pounced into the crystal coffin and tightly hugged the shriveled up female corpse, crying his heart out.
"Amitabha!" A few old monks sat down cross-legged and put their hands together. At the same time, they started chanting the Book of Life.
Teng Yu watched the scene quietly, his expression expressionless. He stood perfectly straight, as if he had returned to the night six years ago when his mother had closed her eyes.
But now, he had long since passed the age of tears. His heart was as hard as a rock from the grinding of hatred, and even his blood had become cold.
Mo Hanshan held onto the finger which could no longer be seen in any form by Empress Liu, his ten fingers interlocked together as he softly muttered: "Ru'er … I really regret not stopping you from marrying him back then … I originally wanted to avenge you, but … "I can't wait for that moment …"
He tidied up Empress Liu's luxurious clothing for him, turned around and asked Teng Yu indifferently: "Third Prince, do you know who killed Ru'er?"
Teng Yu nodded, "I know."
"Then will you avenge her?"
"Yes!" Teng Yu answered firmly.
"Good!" "Good!" "Haha …" All the meridians in his body were broken and his bones were shattered. With his last bit of strength, he crawled into the crystal coffin and lied down beside Empress Liu. He held her hand and said, "Ru'er … "Lonely Yellow Springs, let me accompany you, okay …"
"General …"
Teng Yu closed his eyes and suppressed the grief filling his stomach. He listened to the sutra recited again and again, and his mind was unable to calm down for a long time.
