Chapter 2: Ashes
The red candle finally burned out, and after a stubborn shaking, the flame went out.
In the red tent, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes slowly opened.
She leaned on the boy's shoulder, looking up at his sleeping face, feeling the warmth coming from him.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance.
She looked at him like this, distracted, in a daze.
She wanted to remember what he looked like, even if she would eventually forget him, but this moment was eternal for her.
But just as the red candle will burn out, the feast will be dispersed, and even the stars will die on that day.
The girl finally put away her reluctance, sat up from the bed, and the clothes scattered under the bed poured towards the girl like an edict, and without command, she shrouded her wonderful carcass under the clothes.
A soft white light lit up all around her, and she walked barefoot out of the bed wrapped in her clothes, gently and slowly, without making a sound.
She walked through the room to the door, which opened on its own, and a woman in red waited outside for a long time.
"I don't understand the love and hate of mortals, but I understand that the more you get, the harder it is to let go, and you may be harming him by doing so. The woman in red said in a calm voice, the expression on her face was solemn and cold.
"It is said that after cutting the dust, you should have no distractions and concentrate on the Tao, why do I think that after the senior sister is cut the dust, she cares more about the junior sister than before?" Xu Yue asked with an expressionless face.
Wei Jinxiu's face did not show any depression because of Xu Yue's sarcasm: "Since the junior sister has her own measure, I won't ask more, but now, the junior sister should return to the mountain with me, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Yue's body stood motionless, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of taking a step.
This time, Wei Jinxiu's brows furrowed: "What does this mean by junior sister? Nostalgia for Hongchen is a big taboo in my Dust Palace, and under the anger of the senior sister, the junior sister has to think clearly about the consequences." ”
Facing Wei Jinxiu's threat, Xu Yue just shook his head slightly: "Senior sister misunderstood, how dare senior sister fool Shizun, the lives of thousands of people in my Xu family are in the hands of Shizun." ”
"It's just that before leaving, I want to ask my senior sister to do me a small favor. ”
"What's busy?" asked Wei Jinxiu.
"If I'm not mistaken, the dust slashing sword should be on the senior sister. Xu Yue said with a smile.
Wei Jinxiu was stunned when she heard this, and then her brows furrowed a little deeper, and she said with some surprise: "You want to use the Dust Cutting Sword!?"
None of the disciples who can be valued by Meng Hangju are stupid, and as the candidate of the previous future palace master of the Dust Cutting Divine Palace, Wei Jinxiu is naturally extremely smart, she just figured out what Xu Yue wanted in an instant - she wanted to use this dust cutting sword to cut off the cause and effect between her and Wei Lai, and avoid the unnecessary lovesickness of the young man. Although the Dust Chopping Sword does have such an ability, for the disciples of the Dust Chopping Palace, it is not to the point where the cause and effect are really difficult to cut, and Meng Hangju will never allow his disciples to use this method. Compared with the red dust cut by external forces and the red dust cut off by one's own cultivation, it will bring some obstacles to the cultivator's future practice, and after the external force cuts off the cause and effect, it will attract the backlash of the great power of heaven and earth on both the cause and effect.
The disciples of the Dust Slashing Palace could rely on their own cultivation of the Heavenly Dao to escape the backlash of this great power of heaven and earth, but the other party was not so lucky.
And look at Xu Yue's attitude towards the young man
She doesn't look like someone who can do such a thing. Then when Xu Yue proposed to use the Dust Slashing Sword, he was probably ready to block the great power of heaven and earth for Wei Lai.
Thinking of this, Wei Jinxiu shook his head decisively: "No." ”
"You are the future palace master of my Dust Slashing Divine Palace, and the use of the Dust Slashing Divine Sword will affect your future cultivation to some extent, I don't dare to make decisions without permission. ”
Xu Yue seemed to have expected such a response, and she said calmly, "Didn't Senior Sister want to find out everything about the Law of Great Annihilation?"
"There is a Hanhai Pavilion in the depths of the Dust Chopping Divine Palace, and most of the secrets in the Divine Palace are recorded in it, and the entire Guiyuan Palace is only accessible to me except for the master. If there really is any record of the law of annihilation, it must be placed there. ”
Hearing this, Wei Jinxiu's face was a little relieved, she squinted at Xu Yue, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this a deal?"
"Of course not, it's a mutual help between the same door. Xu Yue said with a smile.
Wei Jinxiu was silent again for a while, then nodded sullenly, only to hear a crisp sound swing away, and a haunting purple and blue divine sword slowly appeared behind her.
......
The Dust Slashing Sword hung above her head, and the girl in a long white dress stood barefoot in front of the door with her arms outstretched.
Her eyes were closed, and the expression on her face was calm and indifferent, as if she had fallen asleep. The surrounding dark qi began to surge, from heaven and earth, from all directions, condensed around the girl's body.
At a certain moment, those obscure qi machines reached the peak of their eyes.
Then the girl's closed eyes suddenly opened, and golden streamers surged in her eyes.
"Lunar and lunar days. Her red lips opened and she whispered.
The voice, which was so light that it was almost inaudible, was like an edict, and as soon as the sound fell, a golden aura swung around her in all directions like ripples.
Yin Yang Heaven is one of the unique methods of the Dust Slaying Divine Palace, with which the monk can see the cause and effect of the mysteries of heaven and earth.
As the qi swayed, thin golden lines appeared around the girl's body, they were of different thicknesses, and they surged to all parts of the heavens and the earth, and one of them followed the sleeping young man in the door.
The girl's face reflected the golden light, and she looked at the golden threads around her with a solemn expression.
One of them pointed to the direction of the Xu Mansion in the distance, the girl stared at the golden thread, thinking slightly, and the purple and blue two-color divine sword lingered behind her trembling, the sword edge surged, and the golden thin line was cut into two sections under the sword blade.
Syllable.
With a soft sound, cause and effect were separated, there was thunder surging above the dome, the girl raised her eyes, her eyes were cold, one hand stretched out towards the sky, and five divine gates emerged around her body, her hand shook it towards the sky, and the thunder in the sky suddenly dissipated at that time, and the girl's face turned white, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot of damage.
......
Xu Trap, who was far away in the Xu Mansion, was organizing the clansmen and servants in the mansion to clean up everything in the mansion, he was so busy that he was dizzy, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
The woman was annoyed by her daughter's affairs and didn't want to pay attention to Xu Yuan, but she couldn't bear to see him working so hard, so she went to the kitchen and brought him a bowl of chicken soup.
"Have a drink. The woman said this, and lowered the bowl of chicken broth.
is commanding his people
Xu Trap, who had carried a piece of property out of the hand-picked, saw the woman and grinned, he took the chicken soup, took a sip, and was about to say something. But there was a sudden soft sound in his mind, his body froze, and the soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, shattering with a bang.
The woman on the side was startled by the man's sudden action, she looked at the man with concern and asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
The expression on Xu Trap's face was still a little dazed, and in the face of the woman's inquiry, he looked at his hand holding the bowl in a daze, and his eyes were glazed.
"Nothing. It is...... It's just that suddenly there is a faint ache here. Xu Trap replied like this, and a hand was slowly stretched out and placed on his chest.
His brows were furrowed, the look on his face was extremely confused, and he muttered to himself with some nervousness: "It seems to ...... I think I forgot something very important......"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and felt some feelings similar to those of men, but she felt sorry for her husband, and said with relief in her mouth: "Maybe it's because the husband is overworked these days, such a big family all point to the husband, and the burden on the husband's shoulders is calm!"
"Alas, speaking of which, I am used to doting on that child for the rest of the year, and we are just one child, and he doesn't know how to be considerate of his husband and share some of it for his husband. ”
Xu Lianzhen waved his hand and said: "How old is he, he has been close to Wei Lai these days, he has been infected a little, and he wants to stay in Ningzhou, and he is still sulking at the moment." Young people, some teenagers are not a bad thing, and when they are older, they will understand my suffering. ”
The woman who heard this sighed and was about to say something, but suddenly an exclamation came from the depths of the house: "There is a fire!
When the couple who were gossiping heard this, they looked sideways in the direction from which the voice came. But in the depths of the house gate, there were indeed fireworks rising, and Xu Cheng secretly felt strange, this cold winter wax moon, the sky is still snowing, how can there be a fire in the house for no reason?
When he reached the place where the flames had risen, the door was full of people and servants who had come to put out the fire with buckets.
He walked through the crowd, but saw that the flame in the door had been extinguished.
"What's going on?" he asked one of the clansmen beside him.
The tribesman was also full of confusion, and replied: "I don't know, the fire suddenly rose, the fire was so big that it was so big that I hurriedly asked people to carry water to put out the fire, but I was only halfway there, and the fire was extinguished again, and it was estimated that the weather was too cold for the fire to burn." ”
Xu Cheng glared at the man and scolded: "What kind of nonsense is this, no matter how cold the fire is, it can't be extinguished so quickly!"
The clansman was speechless, and said with some grievances: "Everything is what I have seen with my own eyes, how dare I deceive the head of the family." ”
Seeing that he was sincere, it didn't seem like nonsense, and this clansman had always been honest, and he didn't seem to be a person who would deceive his superiors and subordinates, he temporarily put away his doubts, waved his hand to dispel the smoke and dust in front of him, and walked alone to the ruins where the flames had been ignited.
Immediately, Xu Fuzhen's brows furrowed, this fire was indeed strange, everything in the door was burned to ashes, the charred wall was pitch black, and the original appearance was no longer recognizable, the ground was covered with ashes, and there was no trace of the past.
What puzzled Xu even more was that he couldn't seem to remember what had been placed in the door of this burned room beyond recognition, and who had lived here......
