Chapter 247 Demon Cave
Even now, when Wei Ying recalls the scene where the two of them used all their strength to scaveng the surrounding vengeful beasts, fierce corpses, vengeful ghosts, and other strange evil spirits, and then, following the guidance of the family-finding compass, they searched the mound of bones for a long time before finally finding the bodies of their parents, who had been dead for a long time, near the middle of their body, his heart is still filled with deep remembrance, sorrow, and reluctance!
What was he like back then?
He couldn't remember clearly, but the only thing he remembered was that the moment his parents' pale and ashen faces came into view, it felt as if his head had been hammered several times with a force powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks. A loud booming sound rang in his ears, and he was on the verge of collapse, his soul and body almost broken!
after?
After that, he didn't even remember crying out in grief. He just rushed to the two of them at the fastest speed he had ever been and carefully tidied their somewhat disheveled appearance. This was because he remembered his parents as lovely and clean, and he remembered them so well that he had never forgotten them to this day!
And then? He couldn't remember most of what happened after that, only some messy and fragmented images remained. When he came to his senses again, he was on a hasty escape, of course, he was being protected by Lan Zhan as he fought and retreated through the stone forest filled with vengeful beasts, fleeing without knowing which way to go!
After he regained his senses, the two of them worked together to successfully shake off the relentless pursuit of evil spirits, corpses, and other ferocious creatures that were constantly joining the hunt. Then, while searching for a way out of the mass grave, they bypassed a winding and unpredictable sea of dark bamboo before discovering this vast cave.
Actually, when they first stepped into the cave, neither he nor Lan Zhan could remember where they were. They only felt a vague sense of familiarity. It wasn't until the two of them carefully searched the blood pool where the blood was churning and the resentment was solidified as if it were real that they were shocked to realize that this was the place where the Yiling Patriarch and Wen Qing's lineage settled when they took refuge in the Burial Mound in the book. The people and the land named it "Demon Subduing Cave"!
In fact, at the moment he stared at the blood pool in the cave with its strong presence, Wei Ying felt a sense of absurd yet inevitable destiny: it was as if no matter how hard he or his sister tried to defy fate for him, destiny would still push him onto an alternative path in various ways.
For example, at this very moment, he has met with the Demon-Subduing Cave and the Blood Pool, and he will continue to form connections with them!
At that moment, Wei Ying's mind wavered for a fleeting instant, and the dense resentment around him immediately took advantage of the situation and invaded his turbulent mind.
If it weren't for Lan Zhan constantly watching over Wei Ying, noticing his unusual behavior immediately, and quickly summoning the Wangji Qin (yes, in this life, Lan Zhan had already taken his own qin from the Lan Clan's treasury in the original work and named it Wangji Qin as well), and playing a calming and soothing melody, it would have been difficult to bring Wei Ying back to his senses, which was filled with phantoms and the wailing of countless vengeful ghosts!
Wei Ying might suffer a great loss that time!
As expected of the abandoned land of heaven, which is feared by the entire cultivation world and forbidden to gods and ghosts, it is full of dangers and resentment is everywhere and can penetrate into every crevice, making it impossible to guard against!
Before he and Lan Zhan entered, they had put on layers of defenses, but they were caught off guard and fell into the trap!
Tsk! Luckily, he had an unparalleled good Daoist partner. Not only when he was distracted, but also when the evil spirits and corpses attracted by their series of movements were about to surround him, she quickly and efficiently put his parents' bodies into a storage magic artifact, and then carefully protected him all the way for such a long distance!
Even when he was being invaded by the resentment that took advantage of his vulnerability, she immediately noticed something was wrong and decisively and promptly played a calming and soothing melody to bring him back to his scattered reason!
Afterwards, she spoke softly and gently to him, showing concern and taking care of his chaotic feelings at that time!
Yes, no wonder Wei Ying chose her as a perfect partner at first sight!
Wei Ying, whose thoughts had drifted from the grief of his parents' death to how wonderful his Lan Zhan was, felt his sadness lessen considerably!
The deceased are gone, and besides, the spirits of his father and mother were well protected by the magical artifact his mother carried with her. Although, when they discovered them, the two wisps of spirit within them were already extremely weak, like candles flickering in the wind!
However, after the two discovered and left the mass grave and returned to the Wei residence, they were carefully raised by Wei Ying and the others in the soul-nurturing array set up by Wei Ying (provided by 001). There will surely be a time when they meet again in the future!
Therefore, when Wei Ying looks back on that scene now, he can quickly break free from the shock and sorrow of facing his parents' remains!
Amidst their racing thoughts, the two had already reached the top of the Burial Mound. They stopped together in front of the Demon-Subduing Cave, looked at each other, and smiled: "Lan Zhan, we've arrived!"
"Wei Ying!"
