Chapter 156: One Death and One Life, Equivalent Exchange

In this memory of a hundred years ago.

Yu Liyan saw Dugu Baihu crying for the first time.

He cried loudly while holding the woman's gradually cooling body.

"This..."

"Baihu?"

Several uncles of the Dugu family were puzzled.

Dugu Baihu: "Get lost!"

"Baihu, why are you talking like that?"

"Did you misunderstand? Your father asked us to help you. He was worried that you couldn't subdue this witch alone."

"Get lost! Otherwise you will all die!" Dugu Baihu's eyes were red.

"Okay, Baihu, calm down..."

These uncles left confused.

The scene changed again.

Time came to three months later.

Dugu Baili died of serious injuries. He never saw his son again until his death, and died with regret and confusion.

It was not until the funeral that Dugu Baihu, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared. After kowtowed to his father several times, he announced that he would inherit the position of the head of the family.

Those who were dissatisfied were severely injured by Dugu Baihu's moves.

He had become a blood-melting warrior with the resources in the Fox Demon Cave Heaven, and was the strongest fighter of the Dugu family at that time.

Then the surrounding scenes began to change quickly.

Yu Liyan saw that Dugu Baihu used a soul-suppressing coffin to preserve her body in her previous life.

This coffin can restrain the soul and prevent the dead from re-entering reincarnation.

After that, Dugu Baihu gave up martial arts and cultivated his soul, visiting various Taoist temples and Zen temples to learn and seek the truth.

Fifteen years later, Dugu Baihu had learned a lot and returned to Dajiang City, and integrated all the resources that the Fox Demon Cave Heaven and the Dugu family could control.

Three years later, Dugu Baihu used the collected materials to build a magic circle in the Fox Demon Cave Heaven.

The scene changed again.

Dugu Baihu stood in the center of the cave heaven, with a magic circle built with a large amount of natural materials and treasures under his feet, and a coffin containing Yu Liyan's body in front of him.

The function of the magic circle is to send people to the afterlife, but it can retain the memory of the previous life, which is equivalent to the ability to be reborn.

Then the magic array was activated, and all the treasures accumulated in the fox demon cave and the accumulation of the Dugu family for many years were scrapped. Tens of thousands of black crystals burned instantly, and this was not the biggest consumption.

The power of creation left by the eight-tailed fox, which constitutes the foundation of this cave world, also burned 99% in an instant.

After consuming so many resources, the array could not achieve perfect reincarnation, and could only send half of Yu Liyan's soul into reincarnation.

Because people cannot be resurrected after death, this is the law of heaven, which cannot be broken, and can only be distorted or used in ways.

All reincarnation methods are actually life-extending methods, and they have to pay a huge price.

The price of Yu Liyan's first reincarnation was her hundreds of years of skills and demon body.

Even so, the price is still not enough. After reincarnation, she still needs to go through the heavenly tribulation before she can truly become a human being.

Yu Liyan's heavenly tribulation is the tribulation of love, but as a result, she failed to go through it, so she died and disappeared, and a generation of giant demons returned to nothingness.

But Dugu Baihu didn't want his beloved to die, so he forced Yu Liyan to have another life and reincarnate for the second time.

But Yu Liyan no longer had any capital to pay the price, so Dugu Baihu had to pay the price with his own life.

However, all of this only gave Yu Liyan a chance to come back again.

After rebirth, Yu Liyan still needed to survive a heavenly tribulation before he could truly become a human being. This time it was the killing tribulation of Jiuming's siege.

And as a half-soul, Yu Liyan's life span was only twenty years, unless his soul was completed.

Also because of the half-soul, Yu Liyan's luck was extremely low, and everything would go wrong after reincarnation, and even the people around him would be affected.

Dugu Baihu could foresee all this, so he left corresponding arrangements for his lover.

First, five stone tombs with the keys to the cave were left.

Dugu Baihu also learned the way of fortune-tellers to play with the way of luck, intercepting 50% of the Dugu family's luck to make up for Yu Liyan's lost luck.

The consequence was that the Dugu family, which was originally going to be more prosperous, immediately turned around and declined, but the remaining 50% of luck could ensure that the Dugu family would not have any major disasters.

Perhaps the Dugu family becoming an ordinary family was also what Dugu Baihu wanted to see.

The scene changed again.

Dugu Baihu buried Yu Liyan's coffin in the Fox Demon Cave.

He also erected a tombstone for her.

It read "The Tomb of My Beloved Wife Yu Liyan".

After doing everything, Dugu Baihu came under the peach tree.

Lying down with his back against the tree trunk and looking at his wife's tombstone, he seemed to see the scene when they first met many years ago.

The tired Dugu Baihu slowly closed his eyes.

"Liyan, I hope to see you again in a hundred years."

At the same time, in the Dugu family ancestral hall, the head of the family soul lamp went out silently.

...

The surroundings fell into darkness again.

Yu Liyan could feel her heart beating faster, and she felt an emotion she had never felt before, like sadness, like reluctance...

All kinds of feelings were in her heart, but they were hard to describe.

"So, the function of this Taoist technique is..."

A big hand held the girl's hand: "That's right! This young man feels it is necessary to explain to you the truth of the year. I can't let others tarnish my innocence!"

A relaxed and free-spirited voice sounded in her ears.

Yu Liyan: "For this kind of thing, you specially developed a Taoist technique, and you are still so boring!"

"Hahaha! This young master is so boring!"

Yu Liyan: "But... is it worth it?"

There was silence for a while.

"I am not a qualified head of the family, and the Dugu family has completely declined in my hands; I am not a qualified son, who was disobedient and unfilial, which made his father regretfully pass away; and I am not a qualified husband, who failed to keep his wife's secret and killed her.

Therefore, I want to at least become a qualified knight who belongs exclusively to Miss Li Yan.

Did I do it? "

The girl nodded: "Yes, my white fox hero!"

"That's good."

The darkness dissipated in an instant, and Yu Liyan returned to the cave sky.

She looked at her empty hands, and the man's residual warmth seemed to still be there.

There was no expectant figure of the girl around, and there was no trace under the leafy peach tree.

This person has passed away.

"I...probably...know..."

At this time, Gu Xia, who was forced to watch the long love history of the two, also woke up.

I saw a tear in the corner of the girl's eye.

Gu Xia was too sensible to ask, and said, "Miss Li Yan, what do you know?"

Yu Liyan: "I know what the demon cultivator needs to reach the highest level."

"Oh, what is that?"

"It's just a human heart, good or bad."

Hearing this, Gu Xia was a little confused.

He thought to himself: "What riddle did this vixen suddenly say?"

Yu Liyan said again: "Gu Xia, dig this grave! Be careful not to damage the stone tablet."

"As commanded."

Gu Xia prepared some common tools in his storage bag. He took out a shovel and started digging the grave.

Within a quarter of an hour, a coffin was dug out.

Girl: "Open."

Gu Xia pushed open the coffin lid with force.

Lying inside was a lifelike woman, who was 78% similar to Yu Liyan. She looked like she was asleep, but her face was a little pale.

Girl: "This is me..."

Who would have thought that the two corpses in the cave and this lovely girl were the same person.

Yu Liyan gently touched her previous life, and her body turned into dots of stars floating in the cave sky.

There were two things left in the coffin, a cracked jade seal with an eight-tailed white fox carved on it, and a crystal-clear rhombus crystal.

Gu Xia could vaguely feel the extraordinaryness of the two objects and asked: "Miss Li Yan, what kind of treasure is this?"

Yu Liyan: "With these two things, the guys from the Jiu Ming Sect are not afraid."
