Chapter 275 Reunion
(This chapter was written on the night of the Lantern Festival, so the name was given, which not only matches the storyline, but also the scene.)
Yueqin's hair was completely scattered due to struggle. She shouted to Ouyang Xiao Leng urgently, "Come on, who taught you this song?"
"Changqin and glaze." Ouyang Xiao Leng stopped the piano and answered.
Just now, everyone only paid attention to the battle between Lingyu and Yueqin, so no one knew when Ouyang Xiao Leng recovered from despair. Now he looks calm. While controlling the magic of Yueqin with the soul-ssing magic song, his own confusion is also completely taken away by this song.
"So you've met my father...the two of them?" Yueqin knelt on the ground and continued to ask.
"Yes, not only that, I have also met your daughter Dongqing."
"Dongqing! Is Dongqing all right?!"
As soon as she heard her daughter's name, Yueqin's breathing and heartbeat became urgent.
"She is beside Changqin and Liuli. Although it is rare to leave Youlan Cave once, she still lives a very happy life. Before Changqin took her away from the divine realm, her memory was erased, so she always thought that they were her parents. It was only when we found Changqin and Liuli looking for a way to deal with your generation of gods and demons that she heard it from the side and knew her background.
"Alas..."
Yueqin sighed. She was wondering if Dongqing forgot her and Fenglan, and also forgot the displacement of her childhood, and the painful experience of being separated from her parents, would she be happier?
"Now it's my turn to ask you, is the soul exchange really over?" Ouyang Xiao Leng asked almost word by word.
Yueqin hesitated for a few seconds, but still said, "Yes, it's over!"
"You're lying! Impossible!" Ling Yu dragged his seriously injured arm and staggered over.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is an unchangeable fact!"
Yueqin's face was as expressionless as ever, so others could not guess whether her words were true or false.
"Mother, father..."
A woman's voice came from far away from outside the temple, shouting almost hoarsely.
"It's Dongqing!" Ouyang Hongye heard that the owner of the voice was the Dongqing they had seen in Youlan Cave.
"What?" Yueqin couldn't believe her ears.
She tried to get up from the ground, dragged the chain that was still tied to her body, and rushed to the direction of the sound. After a few steps, she fell to the ground again.
"Chus He, can there be a girl outside the temple to come in!" Ouyang Hongye pleaded with a small Chuhe in his arms.
"Good!"
Chu He nodded and used his strength to open the door of the temple.
After a while, the tall girl they had seen in Youlan Cave appeared in the hall. Her eyes searched for her parents' figure in the open space of the hall, but she could not find the two faces in her vague memory.
"Dongqing, I'm here!"
There were two lines of tears in Yueqin's expectant eyes. There was no need to hesitate at all. She recognized it at a glance that it was her and Feng Lan's daughter.
"Mother?"
Dongqing's eyes were full of suspicion. The girl who claimed to be her mother in front of her looked very young, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was not the same person as the mother in her memory.
Seeing that Yueqin wanted to pull an arm from the chain tied to her body, Ouyang Xiao Leng loosened the tie for her. Her heart was mixed for a moment, and her feet kept calling. After trying several times, I still couldn't stand up from the ground. I kept patting my chest in pain and choked and said, "It's me, Dongqing, I'm your mother!"
When Dongqing returned to Youlan Cave from the foot of the mountain that day, he heard about his parents. After the magic, he woke up his childhood memories again. The memory that had just been recovered was like what happened yesterday, which made her very painful. Thinking that she might be able to see her parents again, it made it difficult for her to sleep and eat.
But Changqin and Liuli don't want her to get her involved in the fight between her parents and the lord of the demon world, because this time her parents defected to Qingyun and use the soul-changing skill to resurrect, which is likely to disturb the divine realm. If the god Qiansu sends people to deal with them again, it may affect Dongqing, then they will work hard to raise it, and All the efforts to protect it so far have been in vain.
But what can break the bond between children and their parents? Dongqing still tried to find a way to go down the mountain. She guessed that her parents should have been in the third temple at this time, so she went straight to the hidden Songshan Temple. I thought I would recognize my parents at a glance, but I forgot that the resurrection through soul exchange means that the current parents are using other people's bodies.
"Are you really my mother?"
Although the girl who claimed to be her mother looked so strange not far away, Dongqing still walked over tentatively.
Yueqin was so choked that she couldn't say a word, and she couldn't help nodding. When she saw Dongqing looking at her, her eyes were full of fear and doubt, which made Yueqin begin to regret. She thought that maybe the idea of resurrecting with soul exchange is a mistake in itself. In her daughter's opinion, she is more like a monster than a stranger, which must be far from her impression.
But she couldn't help but raise her hand and hold Dongqing's hand. Her hand was very cold. At the moment of contact with her, she felt a little want to shrink back, but finally let her hold it.
Yueqin exhaled deeply and asked, "Mother, did you look scared you?"
"No...No, it's just that you are different from what I remember now."
Dongqing did not tell the truth. At first, when she heard that her parents were resurrected by the evil magic of soul change, she was not very convinced, but when the truth was in front of her, she couldn't help believing it.
"Is this body very different from the original me?" Yueqin tried to make the conversation between herself and her daughter Dongqing more natural to break her defenses.
"Well, the mother in my memory is shorter. Although she doesn't have any expression, she is still very beautiful. He will always touch my head gently, cook delicious food for me, and teach me to play the piano and sing..."
The picture of living with his mother in his childhood suddenly surged into Dongqing's mind. Although it was only scattered fragments, it was so precious.
"Remember the houses we lived in together?"
"I have some impressions, but what I remember most clearly is the small house where we lived before we separated, because I saw my father there."
Dongqing's previous tension gradually disappeared, and she smiled inadvertently when she remembered the scene when she saw her father for the first time.
"Yes, yes..."
Yueqin looked at her daughter carefully over and over again, as if she wanted to carve her into her eyes.
"Mother, will your appearance never be restored? And... what about the former owner of this body? What should she do?"
The warmth that has just been established between mother and daughter has been disturbed by Dongqing's series of problems.
"This..."
Yueqin turned her face and didn't know how to answer her daughter.
"Just tell her that Sister Xia will die because her body will be forcibly occupied by you, and her soul will always drift in the realm of soul separation." Ling Yu pointed to Yueqin and roared.
After listening to the accusations of the injured teenager, Dongqing turned to Yueqin and asked, "Isn't he true, is he?"
"I just want to see you again."
Yueqin didn't know how to explain to Dongqing why she made such a choice. She could only hold her hand more tightly for fear that if she relaxed a little, she would pull her hand away from her.
"I want to see you too..."
Dongqing suddenly cried because of Yueqin's words, as if he had been suddenly clicked on a tearful acupuncture point.
"Don't cry, kid! In fact, the soul-changing skill of this body has not been completed, and this girl can still be saved. Yueqin finally told the truth.
"What?! Are you serious?!" Ling Yu rushed forward and grabbed Yueqin's shoulder and asked back and forth.
"Yes!" Yueqin answered weakly.
She felt that there was no need to hide the truth now. Their four gods had been defeated by the demon king fox and others, which was equivalent to losing the use value for Qingyun. Although the contact with him was not too long, she had already realized how cruel the devil Qingyun was. He would never show mercy to those useless chess pieces.
Now, she has seen her daughter Dongqing, which is also a wish. It's better to simply return Xia Qiu's body to the demon king fox and make them promise to ensure the safety of Dongqing. In this way, the daughter will no longer think that her mother is a monster.
"Dongqing, help me up! Go and see your father!" Yueqin pulled Dongqing's hand and said.
"Good!"
Dongqing answered and picked up Yueqin and walked to the orange-robed young man lying on the ground not far away. As expected, the body her father is using now has nothing to do with her impression.
"Brother Lan, open your eyes and have a look. This is our daughter Dongqing!" Yueqin called affectionately.
"Dad!" Dongqing still called out.
"Ah..."
Feng Lan's eyelids moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes with difficulty. He took a few quick breaths with excitement, and then opened his mouth and laughed.
"Brother Lan, have you seen it? Our daughter has grown up and is very similar to you, right?
Feng Lan didn't know if she had hallucinations. When Yueqin said this, he clearly saw a gratified smile at the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, the last time I saw her was still so small, cough..."
After that, he coughed a few more times, and then a large mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Even if his appearance changes, Dongqing can still recognize his father's unique smile. Although he is the son of Fengshen and Snow Girl, his smile is like a warm light in winter, which makes people happy. She let go of her mother Yueqin's hand, raised her father's head a little, and wiped the remaining blood stains on the corners of her mouth with her sleeves.
"Nothing, I can still look at you like this. Dad is just so happy." Feng Lan's voice was weaker.
Even Ouyang Xiao Leng couldn't bear to break the picture of the reunion of the family of three. He believed that Yueqin did not lie, and Xia Qiu was still saved. Nothing made him more fortunate than this. And from Yueqin's attitude, she also seems to have given up the idea of continuing to be against them.
At this time, Qianqi, who had been in a coma due to serious injury, also woke up. He sat up and looked around, but he still couldn't figure out the current situation. What's more incredible was that Dongqing would appear in this Songshan Temple.
