Master is too ambitious

In the inn, Su Feng was still a little dazed. He felt that his mother had become even more hysterical, making him feel suffocated.

Seeing that he had not yet gotten over the situation, Ji Qian couldn't help but sigh softly. Being hurt like this by his loved ones, the pain and grievance in his heart were almost impossible to fill.

He then tapped the table gently, and when he saw Su Feng finally come back to his senses and look up at him, he said, "Disciple, although this is a little unbelievable, your mother should not be your original mother."

This statement sounds quite bizarre, but since Ji Qian said it, it can only be true.

Su Feng asked anxiously: "Master, what does this mean?"

Ji Qian did not answer, but just asked: "Disciple, what was your mother like when your father was alive?"

Su Feng frowned, thinking back to when his father was alive.

The mother and father were very affectionate. The mother always smiled involuntarily when she saw her father. Although she did not care for him as much as in the books, she still loved him. Whenever he went out to play and got covered in mud, she did not scold him, but only asked him to hide the dirty clothes and not let his father know about it to avoid being beaten. Moreover, she only weaved and did needlework at home every day, making clothes, shoes and socks for him and his father, or embroidered some purse handkerchiefs to take to the town to pay back the money. After the younger sister was born, the mother's health did not recover well and she was often bedridden. The father often went up the mountain to hunt some wild animals or collect herbs for the mother's body.

Su Feng recounted what he remembered, and Ji Qian listened and asked, "So, when did it start to change?"

When did it change?

Su Feng began to recall that after his father died accidentally while collecting herbs in the mountains, his hometown encountered successive natural disasters. His family was extremely sad without his father and went through a very difficult period. His mother also fell seriously ill because of this. After she recovered from the illness, she slowly changed.

After listening to this, Ji Qian had a general idea in his mind and said, "Disciple, I just felt a wave of soul fluctuations in your mother. I felt strange and used the mantra to illuminate your mother."

He took out the mirror and handed it to Su Feng. There were two figures in the mirror. One figure was secretly shedding tears, and the other figure was twisting like a reptile.

Su Feng asked in surprise, "Has my mother been possessed by someone?" He then said puzzledly, "But my mother is just an ordinary person."

Ji Qian explained, "There is a technique in the world that can separate countless strands of divine thoughts, attach them to a certain person, and then replace them. I'm afraid your mother was possessed by this strand of divine thoughts." He paused and said, "As for why it wanted to possess your mother, I don't know."

Su Feng said bitterly: "No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that it is not my mother at all!"

The system secretly said in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Host, this kind of thing is done deliberately to intensify conflicts and make people have negative emotions, and then extract this hatred to refine their own magic tools and skills."

Ji Qian hummed, feeling very unhappy. It was really unvirtuous to practice martial arts in this way. He had to think of a way to get rid of it.

The system reminded: "Those who can practice this kind of skills may have reached the level of Yuanshen or above. With the host's current cultivation level, it is impossible to hold this divine thought."

Ji Qian understood and said, "I can't hold it, but is there any way to kill it?"

The system said: "It didn't notice the host's existence just now. The cultivation of this divine thought should be lower than that of the host. However, these divine thoughts can be directly sensed and controlled by the host. If the host attacks it, it may be sensed by the host. It is hard to say what will happen."

Su Feng asked: "Master, is there any way to kill it?"

Ji Qian thought for a moment, repeated what the system said, and said, "Disciple, when this divine consciousness leaves your mother's body, your mother will die on the spot. Have you thought about it?"

Su Feng was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Master, I have thought about it."

Ji Qian saw that he was a little depressed, but he was no longer as dazed as before. He just looked annoyed and asked, "Do you want to take a rest?"

Su Feng shook his head and said, "Master, can you read me what is in the book again?"

Ji Qian sat down at the desk. A book appeared in his hand. He opened the page. Su Feng sat down next to him. Ji Qian pointed at the words on the book with a life and death pen and read them word by word. Su Feng sat close to him and listened attentively.

........

"Tuk-tuk!"

Zhang Que'er was kneading dough on the chopping board in front of the stove when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

A few days ago, the eldest brother who had no news for more than 20 years suddenly came back, but was scolded by his mother without any explanation. She was anxious and wanted to defend her eldest brother, but for some reason, she couldn't open her mouth and could only worry.

The eldest brother suddenly disappeared again. Zhang Que'er and Zhang Tiezhu were anxious. They searched secretly for several days but couldn't find him. Now they heard a knock on the door. Zhang Que'er quickly wiped her hands and ran to open the door, thinking that what if it was the eldest brother who came back? She had to open the door quickly.

When she opened the door, she saw that no one was there. She was very disappointed. Then she heard a voice coming from above her head, saying, "Little sister, I have something to tell you."

When she looked up, she saw a raccoon lying on the wall, tilting its head and staring at her intently. Zhang Que'er was startled and asked tremblingly, "Is it... is it Big Brother?"

The raccoon slave opened his mouth and said, "It's my little sister. Come with me. I have something to tell you."

Zhang Que'er calmed down and asked, "Brother, what...what's going on?"

The old lady's voice came from inside the house: "Who are you talking to, Que'er?"

Zhang Que'er quickly turned around, afraid of upsetting her mother, and lied, "It was the aunt next door who asked me if I wanted to go with her to paint."

There was no sound in the room, so Zhang Que'er asked again, "Brother, how did you become a raccoon slave?"

The raccoon slave opened his mouth and said, "Que'er, find an excuse to go out with big brother, and I will explain it to you later."

Zhang Que'er nodded and said, "Brother, wait for me for a moment." She closed the door, went into the inner room, reported to the old lady, took a few coins, went to the kitchen to get the oil can, and then went out and said, "Brother, let's go."

Li Nu nodded, jumped off the wall and walked to her side, then began to lead the way. Zhang Que'er held the oil can tightly in her hand. When she saw an acquaintance, she only smiled and greeted him, saying that she was going to get oil. Then she lowered her head and hurriedly followed Li Nu.

The cat and the man walked for a while, entered a remote alley, and stopped in a small courtyard at the corner. The cat jumped in from the doorway next to it, and the door creaked open.

Zhang Que'er hurried into the yard and closed the gate. She swallowed and calmed her heartbeat before saying, "Brother, where is this? Do you live here?"

"My master and I will live here temporarily." Su Feng walked into the yard and showed up. He hadn't taken a close look at Zhang Que'er that day. Although she was already a woman in her thirties, her demeanor was not much different from that of a girl. It seemed that she had been living a decent life over the years.

Zhang Que'er saw Su Feng appear, and hurried forward, tightly grasped Su Feng's sleeve, and said with a choked voice: "Brother, mother scolded you that day, and I was so afraid that you would leave and never come back." Then he asked: "Brother, where have you been all these years?"

Su Feng, just like when she was young, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Little sister, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you."

"Come in and talk." Ji Qian reminded from the corridor.

Zhang Que'er was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw the young man in white clothes and fur coat. Su Feng took Zhang Que'er into the house and said, "Que'er, big brother has something important to tell you."

"Mother is no longer mother?! How is this possible?!" Zhang Que'er screamed in disbelief. She spoke incoherently: "This... is impossible... Mother! Mother was very good to me... must she be mistaken... I don't believe it!"

Su Feng sighed and said, "Que'er, whether you believe it or not, this is the fact."

Zhang Que'er couldn't help but shed tears and said, "How could this happen? I......"

Su Feng wiped her tears, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "Que'er, when father was alive, you were still young and you may not have any memories, but mother back then was definitely not the same as she is now." He paused, and then said, "Master's mantras and magic cannot be wrong. Que'er, I called you here to tell you that I want to drive this divine thought out of mother's body."

Zhang Que'er heard this and asked woodenly, "Will the original mother come back?"

Su Feng shook his head and said, "He will die on the spot."

"I don't want to!" Zhang Que'er shouted subconsciously, and then she was stunned again. She just covered her mouth and tears could not stop flowing down, saying: "Brother, I don't allow you to do this..."

Su Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "But Que'er, our mother has passed away a long time ago. She is not our mother."

Zhang Que'er shook her head vigorously and said, "Brother, I have no memory of my original mother, but 'Mother' was very good to me, raising me, teaching me, and even when I insisted on marrying Brother Zhuzi, she did not stop me, but only asked Brother Zhuzi to swear to treat me well forever." She wiped her tears with her sleeves and said, "For so many years, 'Mother' never let me suffer any grievances. Brother, I don't want you to do this!"

Su Feng was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly: "Que'er, but it is not our mother after all!"

Zhang Que'er cried for a while, wiped away her tears, and said calmly: "Brother, please go away and don't come back."

"Que'er?" Su Feng looked at Zhang Que'er in shock. He didn't know how to react for a moment and just stood there.

Zhang Que'er stood up, turned his back, and said in a firm tone, "Brother, go now!"

Su Feng sighed and said, "Little sister, you are deceiving yourself."

Zhang Que'er turned her back and cried, "Brother, she has been my mother since I can remember. She treated me well. I can't watch her being killed by you."

"But..." Before Su Feng could finish his words, Zhang Que'er had already run out.

Ji Qian watched it from beginning to end, it was indeed very difficult to deal with. To Su Feng, this divine thought was an enemy that had occupied the nest of a cuckoo, but to Zhang Que'er, it was the 'mother' who had raised her since childhood.

Su Feng sat down dejectedly. He didn't know what to do, so he just called out, "Master..."

Ji Qian said, "Disciple, this is the time for you to make a choice, not me."

Su Feng looked at Ji Qian blankly and said, "Is it my turn to choose?"

Ji Qian patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I tell you what to do, it would be wrong, so disciple, you have to follow your heart." He added, "No matter what choice you make, your master will support you."

Su Feng's eyes gradually gathered, as if he was thinking about Ji Qian's words. He clenched his hands and said, "Master, can you help me check if there are other people around who have been possessed?"

Ji Qian said: "Okay, let's go now."

.........

"No."

"Not here either."

Ji Qian thought to himself that it was quite strange that among the five hundred households around Su Feng's house, not a single one had been possessed by divine thoughts.

Ji Qian thought to himself: "This is really strange, could it be that he was possessed by someone by chance?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the area I explored is too small." Then he disappeared into the alley again.

The two returned to their temporary residence at the agreed time, and Ji Qian asked, "Disciple, did you gain anything?"

Su Feng shook his head, bowed and said, "Master, I haven't found a single person until my soul power is exhausted." Then he asked, "Where is Master?"

Ji Qian smiled helplessly and said, "I am the same as you. I have investigated half of the people in Pingjiang Prefecture, except your mother."

Su Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "What is going on? Why did they only take over my mother's body?"

Ji Qian secretly asked the system: "Is this also the setting of the original text? But then again, since Ye Guyu disappeared, the plot doesn't seem to have been further developed."

The system shook its head in its sea of ​​consciousness and said, "There is no such paragraph in the original text."

Ji Qian got the answer and sat down. He poured a cup of tea and wondered whether this was intentional or accidental. If he wanted to know, he could only grasp that wisp of divine thought, but the worst thing was that he had no way to hold it.

Or maybe my strength is too low. Ji Qian sighed secretly.

"Master, I have decided to get rid of it." Su Feng clenched his hands and said with a firm look.

Ji Qian asked, "You have made your decision, aren't you afraid that your little sister will blame you?"

Su Feng shook his head and said, "Master, it is an indisputable fact that it is good to me, but it is not our mother after all." He paused and said, "I will go there at night, and I hope Master can lend me a helping hand then."

Ji Qian smiled and said, "Since you have made your decision, I will definitely support you. I just hope you won't regret it."

Su Feng said: "Master, I will not regret it, but I know my little sister will definitely be sad. However, I can't just let it go. If it causes trouble and hurts innocent people, it will be my fault."

After hearing what he said, Ji Qian said, "Disciple, I can't say whether others will blame you, but in my opinion, you did the right thing."

He looked at the sky and said, "Let's go now."
