THE TRACES OF THE FRIENDSHIP OF SPIRITIS AND HUMAN.
CHAPTER 13 (TRUTH)

"Wait, why would I say all that to a stranger like you? besides, why are Xiuhuan and I here?, "Chang yi just realized he was talking to someone he doesn't know at all, even Chang yi was also telling his past to that person.

"Ahhh you, you are a spirit??, "he is then seen pointing at the person standing next to him.

"Spirit? of course I'm not just an ordinary person"

"Really? then the painting?"

"That's just a painting I used to make, not a spirit," the woman was then seen walking up to a cupboard filled with scrolls of paper, he also took out one of the paper scrolls that were there and gave it to Chang yi.

Chang yi who had just received the paper scroll was astonished by him because suddenly the person told him to unroll the paper he had just given him. Therefore very carefully Chang yi began to open it, it turned out that there was a painting of a man who was not far from him, which was about thirty years old.

The painting he was holding at the moment was different from the previous painting, the man on this paper looked still young as well as the previous painting. Even from his clothes were very different, before Chang yi saw a man in white clothes and a robe covering his body. But now the person in the painting is not wearing any robe, behind which is a dragon with slightly red ears.

"This? what did you give it to me for?"

"Just want to tell you that I'm really good at painting"

"Oh haha said?, "Chang yi looked back at the paper he was holding while muttering.

"His age is half of my life but he still admires handsome-faced men"

The old woman only smiled as she watched the young man's appearance, she was also seen putting one of her arms behind her back.

"Are you going somewhere?"

While rolling the paper in his hand Chang yi replied to his words. "Yes we will go to the kingdom of king Jiao long"

"Jiao long's? but he's a notorious bad guy, are you guys? ..."

"Of course not, there's something we need to get done. We're not there to be like him"

"That's it"

The woman was then seen asking Chang yi to return the paper scroll he was holding, after which he turned his attention to the window before him, and from where he stood there were green leaves of thick trees and a clear sky even in the afternoon, he then asked the young man behind him.

"Aren't you wondering how I found you and brought you here?"

"Of course say"

It seemed that the woman turned her attention back to Chang yi and was still smiling. "So morning I happened to pass by a small hut that was burning a great fire"

Simultaneously after one of the bandits set fire to the small hut in which Xiuhuan was injured, not long came a young man walking past the place. At first he looked surprised as he looked at the small hut in a large fire blanket, and from there he felt something resembling magic that he was familiar with. Then the young man walked closer to the hut, the magic getting stronger every time he stepped foot.

"This aura?"

He hurriedly ran up to the hut after noticing the magic owner, then broke down the entrance and there the young man saw the unconscious Xiuhuan.

"Xiuhuan?, "how surprised was he when he saw Xiuhuan covered in blood. Without thinking about his life he ran into the hut and tried to wake Xiuhuan up, but Xiuhuan did not open his eyes at all.

"Xiuhuan what happened to you? why are you here?"

With a panicked face he then carried Xiuhuan and then carried him out, as the fire grew bigger due to the very strong wind and caused the small hut to collapse engulfed in flames. He was then seen putting Xiuhuan to sleep on his lap, then taking out a magic from his hand after which pointing it at Xiuhuan's heart.

"Xiuhuan open your eyes"

He turned out to be his older brother Yuxuan, who was meditating in his private room without accidentally getting a vision of fire. And because of the vision he had just seen, Yuxuan stopped his meditation and rushed to find the truth he saw.

A few minutes he walked from a distance saw a black smoke clumping over the sky, suddenly it made him shocked and ran closer to the smoke coming from. It was from there that he met his sixty-seven-year-old sister Xiuhuan.

"Why did you become like this?" whispered Yuxuan who did not stop looking at his brother's face.

There he again saw something from his sister, Yuxuan saw the moment before Xiuhuan like this. He also saw that Xiuhuan was not alone he was with a young man who was none other than Chang yi, with his vision that Yuxuan knew where the bandits were taking Chang yi away. Upon seeing that Yuxuan then rushed off to save her from those who took her away.

...****************...

It didn't take long for him to find Chang yi's whereabouts, when he arrived at the place where the bandits tortured him, there Yuxuan saw a woman fighting the dead bandits. Not far from there he also saw Chang yi lying unconscious lying on the ground.

He then approached her and flipped over Chang yi's body, his face filled with wounds looked also bloodstains in his mouth there were even many bruises all over his body, And what made him surprised was a circle mark that was a curse on Chang yi's body.

"Curse?"

After seeing the cursing mark that was coiled on his chest, Yuxuan then turned his attention to Qiaofeng who was fighting with the bandits who were already lifeless, and who were not alive, but Qiaofeng revived them and moved them so that he could slash the skin of the bandits.

"Stop! they are gone, stop torturing them" Yuxuan told Qiaofeng.

With a terrifying gaze Qiaofeng turned to look at him, his eyes were white with blood constantly coming out resembling tears, blood also did not stop coming out from his neck. He then flew quickly closer to Yuxuan while pointing his sword at the young man.

Yuxuan who saw it then dodged by flying in the opposite direction, he then attacked Qiaofeng from behind using his magic.

It was not until there that Qiaofeng attacked him again and Yuxuan also replied to him with his martial skills, clearly visible from the look on Qiaofeng's face that seemed to dislike Yuxuan. The terrifying screams grew louder with his blood magic relentlessly attacking Yuxuan.

Until finally the blood magic belonging to Qiaofeng turned into a snake that was about to hit his opponent also wrapped around him. Yuxuan who was fed up with it then turned into a white dragon that was not too big. After that it looks like the two are fighting each other like they want to kill.

And in the end the fight between the two ended after Yuxuan wrapped around the red snake belonging to Qiaofeng then burned it with fire that came out from all over his body, after that Yuxuan returned with a human form he then took out a talisman which he then threw at Qiaofeng and made it burn.

"Take care of your own business don't make that innocent young man bear all your grudges, release him from the curse you've locked on his body"

Smiling, Qiaofeng replied. "Can't, a promise is a promise and must be kept. The young man had promised me that I would avenge Jiao long, don't interfere"

"Promise?"

"Yes he had made a pact with me while in my realm, not only did he also have a grudge against someone close to Jiao long"

While Yuxuan turned to Chang yi who was still lying weak, he also seemed to be thinking of something.

"But didn't you make a deal with him after you went where you were supposed to go after you died?"

"It turns out you're not easy for me to get fooled"

"Of course I'm not that stupid, you're one of Jiao Long's followers but she threw you away because your power wasn't what she expected. After that you have no direction, in the end you find the girl who was killed by Jiao long and has a grudge against him" Yuxuan said, turning his attention to the creature not far in front of him.

"With that chance you influenced the girl's spirit so that she had a greater grudge against Jiao long and up to make her have black magic, but that magic you fox into blood magic"

"The goal is to lure Jiao long in order for her to receive you back"

Slowly the creature's body began to vanish into flames and became a red ash grain, after which it became Yuxuan ashes and then approached it and stepped on the red ash.

____________________

Yuxuan did not tell Chang yi the truth and changed it slightly, with a different story. She told him that morning her old self accidentally saw a hut burning while after searching for wood from the forest, Yuxuan also saw the bandits taking Chang yi away from there after burning the small hut.

He then approached the hut and saw Xiuhuan was there and then took it out from the inside, after which he chased after the bandits who were taking Chang yi away. Long time searching he finally found it, Yuxuan said all those bandits had died with blood on his body, he also saw Chang yi was there and took him away.

"My old body has to carry the two of you with great difficulty to get here, you guys are so heavy I almost fainted" said Yuxuan who studied her role as an old woman.

"really? ma-sorry we're troubling you, I-I'll repay you thank you for helping us, tell me what you want?" reply Chang yi who felt bad.

"Yes go to the kitchen and make something for dinner"

"Well I'll make it, now tell me where the kitchen is?"

"Sixth room after the food storage room"

"I'll go there right now and make dinner, "without a second thought Chang yi then rushed off towards the kitchen, but the old lady suddenly told him to stop.

"Wait"

"Is there anything else?"

Smiling, the old woman said, "Young man, there's something you should know"

"What's that?"

...****************...

The day also changed with the morning which was greeted with warm sun, from afar Chang yi was seen standing on the bridge alone while looking at the big fish in the pond, he looked like he was thinking and thinking about something.

"Very shocking" he whispered, still staring at the pool.

But the daydream was broken because Chang yi yang from earlier was fine feeling his heart ache, it was because of the curse Qiaofeng was still in his body and continuously took his soul bit by bit.

"I almost forgot this curse"

In the midst of his solitude Xiuhuan who had just come to him and saw his pale face, he had now recovered but it seemed like the wound on his stomach was still not dry. By walking carefully Xiuhuan approached Chang yi who was alone.

"Chang yi?"

"Xiuhuan"

"You're aware, why did you come here? you haven't fully recovered yet" said Chang yi who looked surprised by his arrival.

"I'm looking for you"

"Searching me?"

Xiuhuan then looked at his face and said. "Chang yi are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine"

Xiuhuan was seen watching Chang yi from top to bottom, he also kept smiling from the beginning seeing him there and until now who was standing before him. "It's good to hear that I think it's the last day, it's scary, isn't it?"

"But I will still die because the curse of Qiaofeng is still there"

"Don't worry I'll protect you"

"Don't do that, you've saved my life several times after this I'll definitely avenge everything you've done to me"

"I'll wait for him"
