Chapter 197: Redemption
No one knew that a vigorous figure quietly jumped on the balcony on the second floor, and he reached out to open the blackout curtains and looked into the room.
……
Li Mian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the house with some curiosity, "I remember when I was a child, you just moved here, and you didn't let me enter this bedroom when I wanted to, why is it so good today, is it because you feel guilty about me?"
"I didn't let you in because the time was not ripe. Now that you've grown up, the fire has finally reached the sky. ”
"What fire?" Li Mian said strangely, "Are you talking about the fire in my life?"
Yu Baiyuan said: "Mian'er, do you know why I have protected you since I was a child? I am afraid that you will be injured, that something will happen to you, and that the fire in your life will not burn." ”
"Why? Because I look like the kid you died so many years ago?" said Li Mian joked.
"I've never had children. Yu Baiyuan shook his head, a smile appeared on his face: "However, whenever I see your flame flourishing, I feel that it is worth it for me to wait for so long." ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"When you grow up, wait for the fire in your life to burn completely. ”
"What do you mean? Didn't you say that the fire in my life is a good fire?" Li Mian's face became confused.
"yes, it's so hot. Yu Baiyuan muttered, his eyes seemed to be jumping with a cluster of flames soaring into the sky, revealing greedy longing, "I have been burning the fire for so long, and it is finally time to use it." ”
Li Mian looked at him strangely, "Can it be used?
Yu Baiyuan replied in a low voice, "Mian'er, do you know the spiritual source?"
Li Mian was stunned.
Lingyuan, of course he knew. However, it cannot be said. Li Mian hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know what the spiritual source you are talking about. ”
"I know you don't know. Yu Baiyuan's voice became deeper and lower, as if telling a story, "Thousands of years ago, heaven and earth were divided into three realms, and the spiritual source was also divided into three realms, and the land under your feet was called the world. Among the Three Realms, the earthly spiritual source is the most abundant and vigorous. At that time, the world was a paradise for practitioners. On the streets, on the road, you can see practitioners walking with swords on their backs. ”
"But after a disaster, the spiritual source in the world suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace of the spiritual source in heaven and earth. Since then, there have been fewer cultivators, and as decades have passed, there are only a handful of cultivators left in the land that was once everywhere. ”
"Where have all those people gone?"
"Those who have attained the Tao have gone into hiding, and those who have not attained the Tao are like ordinary people, experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, do you know what is the saddest thing?"
"What is it?"
"Some people have been given and are content to die. But there are some people who have never been able to get it, and they are doomed to never get it. ”
Li Mian said: "Sadness is not to lose without gaining, but to gain and lose in the end." ”
Yu Baiyuan sneered: "What if you get mediocre talents? Spiritual source is a waste for them, it's a real pity that those geniuses who were born at the wrong time, if I were born in that era, maybe I would have been only one step away from the way of heaven, why bother to stay in the world to raise fire?"
Li Mian caught the key words in his words, and asked vigilantly, "Are you raising my fire?"
Yu Baiyuan smiled: "Yes, I have raised you for twenty years, and I just fancy the fire in your life." ”
Li Mian's expression froze suddenly.
Yu Baiyuan said to himself: "Three hundred years ago, there was a cultivator named Shen Yu who researched a way to replace the spiritual source of cultivation, so he was born and came to the world, and quietly opened up a sect, called Cangmen, Shen Yu traveled all over the world, specifically looking for the adoption of those gifted children, and brought them to his side to cultivate. ”
"What method did Shen Yu use to replace the spirit source?"
"After the expansion of Cangmen, Shen Yu took his apprentices to collect demons everywhere, because he accidentally discovered that the demon stones inherent in the monsters could be used to replace the spiritual source for cultivation, and it would be even more wonderful if he caught those monsters who happened to have cultivation. ”
In this way, Cangmen accepted countless monsters to provide cultivation. However, the number of youkai is limited, and the number of spiritual sources needed is increasing. Soon, Shen Yu found that there were not enough demon stones. So he hit the idea on the person with the largest base, between heaven and earth, only man is inexhaustible. There is very little energy raised by ordinary people, but some people are born with extraordinary talents, and they are born with containers that can be used for cultivation. ”
Li Mian asked in disbelief: "Could it be that you have stayed by my side for so many years just to raise me and then take away my fire?"
Yu Baiyuan looked at Li Mian lovingly, "Mian'er, although you are not the first container I found, you are the only one I watched grow up, you are different from them." But I don't want to die, I'm over 150 years old, and I really can't help it. With you, I can hold out for at least another hundred years. This hundred years is enough time for me to find the next fire. ”
"I don't believe it! you're crazy!" Li Mian roared. No one can accept that a person who has been by his side since he was a child is equivalent to a relative, in fact, has always coveted his life.
But facts have proved that once a person reveals his true face, he is no longer the familiar person he used to be.
"There is no pain. ”
Yu Baiyuan walked in front of Li Mian and reached out to touch his chest, which was the location of the heart.
"It is recorded in "Alien Yang Evil Magic" that the yang fire is strong in the heart, and when the fire is burning to the sky, take its heart and devour it, you can take away its fire and add a hundred years of yang life. Those who take the heart, as long as the technique is done properly, there is no pain. ”
Li Mian said angrily: "Fart! You're fucking dreaming, Lao Tzu won't give you food!" After speaking, he wanted to open Yu Baiyuan's hand, but then he suddenly found that he couldn't move, and immediately panicked, "Damn, what dirty and obscene methods did you use against me?"
Yu Baiyuan's tone was gentle, and his eyes were loving, "Mian'er, this room is full of formations to deal with you, and if you walk into this room, you will never be able to walk out again." Now you know why I wouldn't let you into this room when you were a child. ”
Li Mian's eyes widened, his chest rose and fell violently, he was angry and afraid, and scolded, "I didn't expect you to really, really care about me for so many years." Because my parents treated you like an elder, I thought you were really good to me!
Yu Baiyuan chuckled, "Sometimes I can't tell how true or false my love for you is." ”
"Bastard, I'm worried about you, and you steal the antidote from my eldest brother, that's how the fuck you treat me!"
Yu Baiyuan was stunned for a moment, and a trace of struggle appeared in his eyes, but it was fleeting. He had waited too long for this opportunity and didn't want to give it up again.
Fingers on the chest, as long as you pull forward, you can pull out the entire heart in the next second, Li Mian closed his eyes suddenly.
At this moment, there was a violent noise from the window, and the familiar sound of a long sword unsheathed sounded in my ears. Li Mian opened his eyes in surprise, and saw a black figure breaking through the window, and the glass of the entire window was shattered, Ying Xiaochuan turned over from the window, put his sword on Yu Baiyuan's neck, and smiled: "Okay, now that I know about your conspiracy, I declare you finished." ”
