Chapter 40: The Stars Are Missing
The peak of the stars.
In the Ice Palace, the cold air is pervasive.
On a cold jade bed in the middle, there was a woman lying quietly, unbelievably beautiful.
Beside the woman, a sword was placed quietly.
And on the side of the stone bed, there is a white jade divine knife.
The white jade divine knife gathered the aura of heaven and earth, and continuously injected into the cold jade stone bed to protect the woman.
No one expected that the autumn water white practice, the second of the twenty-four artifacts in Kyushu, was actually on the top of this star peak.
Perhaps it is also because of the power of the artifact that the woman can leave the only trace of life.
The Star Lord stood on the edge of the stone bed.
What man is not tender?
The arrogant and cold figure on weekdays is staring at the woman in front of him affectionately at this moment.
I don't know how long it took to look at this hope.
He slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand, held the woman's jade hand tightly, gently put it to his mouth, and kissed it gently.
Tianxin, I can't even save you, how can I save her?
Rest assured, I believe that it will not be long before all this will end and I will never leave you again.
......
Ying Long Peak.
Zhou Yuan looked up at the peak of the stars, but his eyes were sad and joyless.
The sentence of the day, the life and death of others, what does it have to do with me!
Let him deeply understand that in the eyes of these strong people, the weak will always be like ants.
Immediately, he withdrew his gaze, walked up the stairs, and headed towards the Star Pavilion.
Shui Yunshang followed.
Yinglong Peak has long been crowded with people.
In addition to the disciples who usually compete, thousands of disciples were present today.
There is no other reason, just because Zhou Yuan wants to go to the ninth floor of the Xingchen Pavilion today and understand the secret of the Xingchen Academy-the Xingchen Sutra.
Strictly speaking, he didn't study under any of the elders of the Star Academy.
It was only eight months ago that he followed Shui Yunshang to Jiaofeng.
Soon, there was a relationship with Shui Yunsheng.
At that time, everyone thought that he was a little white face who relied on Shui Yunsheng's support.
Then it caused a lot of male disciples in the Xingchen Academy to criticize and write.
Then the second beauty, Zheng Qingya, asked her maid to send a love letter, and once again because of him, the Xingchen Academy stimulated a wave of challenges.
Again and again he has been pushed to the forefront, but he has always been so calm.
It wasn't until he defeated Han Li with a single sword that the other people's attitudes towards him changed a bit.
Then, I took on the challenge of the whole school.
stirred up a storm in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and finally caused the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan to reveal her identity and save her life.
It was also at this time that he ascended to the top 100 of the Thousand Miles Wall.
On the Yinglong platform, on the day of the star competition, in front of the people of the Wang family, beheaded Wang Ling.
Then, he fought alone in the whole courtyard, won the approval of the Holy Lord, and won the first place in the competition.
In the past eight months, the turmoil in Xingchen Academy has been caused by him, and he has also been recognized by everyone.
Cultivation is straight from gathering qi to refining the Dao, and the talent is so strong that it covers the four peaks and falls.
The most important thing is that everyone also wants to see if such a prominent figure can understand the secrets that have not been passed down in this hospital for a hundred years.
In front of the Pavilion of the Stars.
Zhou Yuan greeted the Pavilion Elder with a smile, and then looked at the surrounding disciples, feeling respect and recognition.
I am no longer the same as before, I only know Shui Yunsheng, Cao Zhiyou and a few people, and I have a sense of belonging.
Cao Zhiyou......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Since the Dead Sparrow Ruins turned against each other, the two have never seen each other again.
Looking back on the eight months of time, in addition to the boring cultivation, it was to fight with demon beasts again and again in Shenfeng, and to flee again and again in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
It's fulfilling, it's never easy.
Coming back to his senses, Zhou Yuan looked at Shui Yunshang with a smile, and then turned around and walked into the Star Pavilion.
"I don't know if he can succeed. ”
As the Xuanwu Peak fell, Zheng Qingya stood with a man.
At this moment, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
"I'm really envious, I was full of confidence last year, and I never thought of losing to Qinglong, and this year, I still don't have a chance. ”
The man is the second in the last year's star competition list, Wu Hou.
At this moment, he shook his head, played with a green snake in his hand, and said so.
"When the competition was on the day, such a good opportunity, why didn't Senior Brother Wu Hou make a move?"
When Zheng Qingya heard this, she asked rhetorically.
"Senior Brother Zhou Yuan's methods are endless, and in the face of the Tianjiao of the whole hospital, as a senior brother, if he makes another move, he will not be able to win. ”
Wu Hou's eyes narrowed, and after speaking, he turned to leave.
Sure enough, some opportunities can't wait, they are too cautious, and they are fleeting.
Zheng Qingya watched him leave, smiling in her heart and saying nothing.
Victory or not?
......
The ninth floor of the Star Pavilion.
Zhou Yuan pushed open the attic door and walked inside.
The pavilion was empty, and the eyes were full of stars.
When you get the center, look up, the top of the pavilion is the star battle map, only to feel the stars twinkling in the sky, connected into a vein in the starry sky.
Zhou Yuan seemed to be in the night sky.
The Book of Stars?
He spread his hands and felt it.
Is the Sutra of the Stars hidden in this Star Battle Chart?
In the past hundred years, there has been no disciple in the Xingchen Academy, can I do it myself?
He wasn't quite sure and just wanted to do his best.
The great void in his body once again operated on its own, and in the galaxy, the stars reflected the void in his body one by one with a certain law, forming a certain connection.
The two exercises seem to be one, and there is a sense of affinity.
Zhou Yuan immediately sat cross-legged and felt with his heart.
The minutes ticked by......
"The stars are missing!"
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yuan opened his starry eyes, slowly raised his head, and looked towards the starry sky.
"Hey!"
As he read out that the stars were missing, a sigh came into the pavilion.
Outside.
At the top of the Star Pavilion, a pillar of starlight light plunged straight into the sky, and the veins of the stars formed by the virtual shadows of the stars followed towards Zhou Tian.
In the sky above the east of the city, it was a blue sky and a white sun.
At this moment, thousands of stars are running, and the stars are shining.
"Did it work?"
In front of the pavilion, Shui Yunshang kept staring at the ninth floor of the Xingchen Pavilion.
At this moment, she squeezed her hands lightly, looking at the starry sky, and a smile appeared on her face.
She is happy for Zhou Yuan.
"I actually succeeded in participating in enlightenment, and I was ashamed of his methods when I competed that day. But now, it's a different story. ”
The green dragon peak fell, and the green dragon and Aoki stood together, looking at the bright starlight.
Qinglong had participated in the Star Sutra last year, but he always felt that something was missing and he didn't know the essentials.
After a year of hard retreat, I had the hope of attaining enlightenment again, but I didn't expect that under the strange methods of Zhou Yuan's evil sect, I almost destroyed an arm.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan successfully comprehended the Star Sutra.
Qinglong had to re-examine this junior brother, if he went this time, would he comprehend?
He was not sure in his heart.
As he spoke, he turned into a green dragon phantom and went to the deep pool under the peak.
It's time for a jihadist retreat.
Aoki Gongzi glanced at the Star Pavilion, and then at the deep pool where the Qinglong Peak fell, a smile appeared in the corner of his eye, and he also turned to leave.
It seems that it is not difficult to admit that a person is excellent.
"It's going to change after all. ”
Sun Moon Palace, the summit of Tianyang Peak.
The old man stroked his white beard with his hand, looked at the sky full of stars above the Xingchen Courtyard, and said meaningfully.
"When you died suddenly, you just wanted to save the lives of thousands of your men, right?"
Faerie Peak.
Lin Yao put his hands behind his back, looked at the Xingchen Courtyard, and muttered to himself.
The corners of the mouth are slightly raised.
Are you really dead in battle?
I also want to see what means you have left.
......
It was already night.
The bright stars at noon have dispersed at this moment, and although it is night, the stars are no longer shining brightly.
In the pavilion, Zhou Yuan walked down slowly.
"Source, did you succeed?"
Shui Yunshang stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Zhou Yuan was expressionless, but his breath was disordered.
He glanced at Shui Yunsheng, and then took a vague step, walking towards the outside of the courtyard step by step.
Scanning the huge Star Courtyard, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.
It turned out that all his life, he couldn't control his own life and lived like a puppet.
Shui Yunshang followed all the way, cautiously asking him what happened.
However, he did not answer.
Until the outside of the hospital.
"I, Zhou Yuan, have been expelled from the Xingchen Academy today. ”
Zhou Yuan looked at the tall courtyard gate and shouted loudly.
This voice, with an aura, seemed to let everyone know that he was going to break with the Star Academy.
This sound, such a reversal occurred, and the shock also angered all the disciples.
As soon as he understood the secret of this hospital, he expelled himself.
What kind of thing are you, Zhou Yuan, so worthy of the Xingchen Academy?
"Why?"
Shui Yunshang asked with tears in her eyes.
"Why? Do you really want to know?"
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and raised his head to prevent tears from falling.
"It's not because of you. If you cultivate well, you won't need someone else to be your Deadpool. In that way, Zhao Feiyu will not die, she is such a good woman. ”
"Don't you feel it? When she died, she never mentioned me, but she died because she saved me! She was afraid that I would feel guilty. ”
"The more she was afraid of me guilty, the more guilty I felt. Your father will not be saved when he dies, so what qualifications do I have to stay in the Xingchen Courtyard where she has only been happy for a few days in her life?"
"You say, you say!"
When Zhou Yuan said the last few words, he almost shouted out.
"Huh!"
At this time, a bloody ferocious luan broke through the sky and came to the east of the city.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Tianjiao stood on Luan's back, looking at this scene, she was not as strong as the witches in the past, but just called softly.
Zhou Yuan turned around and flew up, and followed Zhou Tianjiao away on a bloody ferocious luan.
Outside the courtyard gate.
Shui Yunshang has long been a pear blossom of tears.
Every word Zhou Yuan said was like a sharp sword, hitting her heart.
Watching him go away, he didn't chase him, but collapsed to the ground.
can't help but recall the scenes when the two were together.
The first snow that night.
The two of them were in the east of the city, sometimes stopping in front of the vendors' stalls, sometimes laughing and playing, watching the bustling long street, listening to the sheng flute, stepping on the broken jade, strolling and listening to the snow.
I went to Lover's Lake, where couples had a tryst, went to the highest restaurant in the city, and saw all the lights.
That night.
He broke into the murderous lair alone, and the two fled for life and death under the pursuit of the crow demon cloud.
However, so what?
How sweet it was then, how painful it is now.
I remembered that day at the Horn Peak.
"Yuan, why are you cultivating so hard? If I can't catch up with you in the future, will you not want me, will you forget me?"
She asked, expectantly.
"Yunshang, there were too many reasons to cultivate in the past, but now, I just want to protect you, so I also have to cultivate. With you in this life, I will live up to my love. ”
He replied affectionately.
But in the end, he still lost......
"Ahh
This cry was such a poignant resentment, and the disciples in the courtyard were silent.
Outside the hospital, Shui Yunshang looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, and then slammed his palm on his chest, abandoning his cultivation, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fainting to the ground.
"Hey, what's the trouble!"
Mu Lao appeared behind her and took her back.
The peak of the stars.
Xu Ziyin was hunting in white, looking at the direction of Zhou Yuan's departure, his fists clenched.
Since you've made her unhappy at every turn, then you're going to die.
