Chapter 29: The Trap
At night, Ye Shuo was called to the Tianji Palace, and there was only the chief of the dust road in the hall, and when he saw Ye Shuo coming, he took out a piece of jade and handed it to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What is this?" Ye Shuo stared at Yu Jian curiously. Although his realm has not changed, his spiritual sense has improved significantly, such as practicing various spiritual skills for days, going down the mountain, fighting various powerful enemies, etc. Now this jade slip is more slender than the ordinary, and the surface is covered with a layer of simple and heavy atmosphere. Spiritual power fluctuations are sometimes like seeing flowers in the fog, and sometimes they are as unfathomable as the vast ocean, and as soon as the soul detection touches the surface, it is as if it has touched an invisible film, gently and skillfully isolating all external detection. All of this indicates that this piece of jade is absolutely extraordinary, at least it is different from any kind of spiritual skill he has cultivated before.
"Maybe Tianyao also mentioned it to you. This is the treasure of my Xuantian Sect that has not been passed down to the outside world, the Xuantian Secret Method!" The eyes of the Dust Dao Leader were scorching.
"Xuantian Secret Method!" Ye Shuo was startled by this word! When he was daydreaming in the small bamboo forest, although he often looked forward to the day when a secret book would fall from the sky and just hit his nose, it was just a fantasy after all, just as it was as unrealistic as if he couldn't wake up from a sleep and suddenly break through from a section of qi storage to the heavenly realm. When Chu Tianyao showed himself the Taixu Wandering Dragon Step, and lured him with the Xuantian secret method, and invited him to participate in the sect competition, this previously unattainable secret method seemed to be no longer a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water for the first time, but connected to a certain future within reach. At that time, he was really moved. He has been practicing hard all the way in the sect, and he has always been spurring himself with the Xuantian secret method. Now, this once dreamed of something is so real in front of your eyes?
Ye Shuo trembled and went to fetch the jade slip, as if he was afraid that if he moved too fast, the jade slip would turn into a phantom and disappear in front of him in the next moment. However, just as he was about to pick it up, a certain word in the long words of the dust path suddenly appeared in his mind. It was this sudden message that made his hand stop in the air.
"Do you want to spread it?, that means, before me, no one has practiced this secret method?" Ye Shuo hesitated.
"Not bad. The Dust Dao Chief nodded solemnly.
"Then ......" Ye Shuo swallowed his saliva, "Even Senior Brother Chu and Senior Brother Gong Tianying have never practiced?"
"No, I said you were the first.
The Dust Dao Chief nodded. "Actually, don't say it's them, even the founding ancestor of my Xuantian Sect discovered this secret method by chance, although he wanted to practice, but he spent his whole life still unable to understand the mystery of this secret method. Since then, every generation of the Xuantian Sect's leaders and outstanding disciples have tried to cultivate, but still no one has succeeded. Maybe it can only be said that they have nothing to do with this secret method!"
Ye Shuo was silent for a moment, and under the expectant gaze of the dust Dao chief, he stopped the hand that was about to hold Yu Jian.
"If that's the case, then I'd better stop practicing for now. According to the order of entering the door, I have only been a core disciple for a few months, and there are still many senior brothers in front of me. According to the level of strength, I am only a disciple of Qi Accumulation. Either way, I'm not qualified to practice. Senior Brother Chu is already a fifth-stage Qi Gathering Sect, and he is extremely talented, so let him cultivate, maybe he can add more contributions to the sect. Ye Shuo said.
The Dust Dao Chief was slightly silent, obviously not expecting that in the face of the temptation of the Xuantian Secret Method, there were still people who could remain unmoved.
"Do you think this Xuantian secret method is not important?" asked Ye Shuo.
"Important. It is precisely because of its importance that I feel that this Xuantian Secret Method cannot be given to me so easily, how can I take on this great responsibility?" Ye Shuo had a look in his eyes that he had never seen before. It is impossible to say that you are unmoved. He was struggling, and in his heart the Xuantian Secret Method should be given to someone better than him. Today, for a Xuantian secret method, he will give up the righteousness of his fellow disciples, so will he also make an involuntary choice for the sake of more tempting interests? If in order to pursue power, what needs to be sacrificed is the most basic morality, then he would rather give up this power!
Drinking water is the source, he doesn't want to be a person who has nothing to cultivate, but is empty-handed.
The chief of the dust path was very satisfied with Ye Shuo's integrity that was not moved by temptation. But then he looked solemn and said, "Don't you want to save the advisor?"
Ye Shuo looked stunned.
"With strength, you can protect the person you want to protect, isn't it? Now a group of us here are helpless to save the advisor, and can only watch him hovering on the edge of life and death! Although there is a glimmer of hope afterwards, it is still unknown whether this antidote can be found! If you are a strong person in the Nirvana realm, you can completely change your life against the sky, steal yin and yang, seize the creation, and detoxify the consultant, it is not easy at all.
As he spoke, he glanced at the jade slip on the table, "Now this Xuantian secret method is placed here, whether you learn it or not depends entirely on you." Master will not interfere with your choice, but your decision is doomed to your fate!" After the Dust Dao Chief finished speaking, he put his arms on his shoulders and quietly closed his eyes to recuperate.
On the side, Ye Shuo lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but when he raised his head, he picked up the jade slip without hesitation.
After seeing that the chief of the dust road still closed his eyes and recuperated, Ye Shuo didn't say anything more, said goodbye to him, and turned around and left the Tianji Palace.
After Ye Shuo left, Dao Chang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You've been standing there for a long time, aren't you?, why don't you come in?"
"Master. The person who came turned out to be Chu Tianyao, and he seemed to have something to say.
The chief of the dust road waved his hand, looked at the candlelight that was clearly extinguished for a long time, and then said, "You heard what I just said to Shuo'er?"
Chu Tianyao nodded: "Yes." I just don't understand, the Xuantian Secret Method has always been only passed on to elite disciples, so why should it be passed on to Senior Brother Ye?"
The dust Dao chief smiled: "Because in my mind, he is an elite disciple!"
"But......" Chu Tianyao seemed to want to say something, but Daoist Chenchen suddenly turned his head and stared at him with bright eyes: "What, are you jealous of your junior brother?"
Chu Tianyao lowered his head: "The disciple didn't." The disciples just felt that cultivation should be down-to-earth, and the first thing to avoid being in a hurry was to achieve success. Senior Brother Ye had only just started and his foundation was not stable, so letting him practice the Xuantian Secret Method too early might be detrimental to his future cultivation.
I don't know if the Dust Dao Chief believes it, but nods silently: "If you really think so, that's the best." But how Shuo'er wants to cultivate, he naturally has a plan for his teacher, and I will never let him take a detour.
It's getting late today, so go back and rest first. After waiting for a while, seeing that Chu Tianyao didn't move, he said, "What else do you want to say to me?"
"No...... No, Master also rested earlier. Chu Tianyao still hasn't left.
The face of the Taoist gradually sank: "Although you don't say it, you can see from your eyes that you are complaining about me." This Xuantian secret method, I know you have been looking forward to it for many years, are you complaining that I didn't pass it on to you, but passed it on to Shuo'er?"
Chu Tianyao saw that the master had already opened his words, and finally couldn't help but pour out all the words in his heart like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "Yes! Could it be that in Master's mind, compared to Senior Brother Ye, do you think he is more suitable for practicing this secret method than me? But he is only accumulating qi for a while, how much effect can this Xuantian secret method exert in his hands? Do you think that in the competition meeting of the Seven Great Sects, he can achieve better results for the Xuantian Sect?" said excitedly, and his body trembled slightly.
The Dust Dao Elder raised his head suddenly: "Just to say this to you, you are indeed not suitable for cultivating this Xuantian Secret Method! Now your eyes have been completely blinded by the heart of gain and loss! Listen to the words that come out of your mouth, everything is only based on interests! For the sake of interests, you can even ignore the feelings of the door! On the path of cultivation, there is nothing wrong with wanting to gain great strength, but there are some crooked paths that you must never take. For example, the forbidden spell is the root of all evil! You seem to be running very diligently in An Yunfang recently?"
Chu Tianyao was shocked for a moment under the master's direct questioning, but then he forced himself to calm down and said, "Yes, before Senior Brother Tianying left, he asked his disciple to take care of Senior Brother An Yun. The disciple is fulfilling his wish. ”
The Dust Dao Leader looked directly at Chu Tianyao: "It's good that you can keep your promise to Tianying." But if you are dedicated to this matter, and even leave your own affairs alone, then you will put the cart before the horse! I heard that when Shuo'er was ambushed by the enemy in the Anshan Forest, you were in the Anyun room?" Chu Tianyao heard that he wanted to explain, but was stopped by the Dust Dao Chief, "That's enough, you don't have to explain! You gave them a vacation without consulting me, and if you continued to take them to cultivate at that time, the matter of the advisor's poisoning would have not had to happen! Now you still don't admit that you are abolishing your public for personal reasons?"
Chu Tianyao silently lowered his head and said, "The disciple knows his mistake. ”
The chief of the dust road waved his hand: "That's it, this apology is useless." It's just that from now on, in this Anyun room, you don't have to go again. ”
"What, how can it be done!" Chu Tianyao blurted out.
The face of the chief of the dust road sank: "You claim to know your mistakes, but you don't want to show the slightest repentance?"
Chu Tianyao said silently: "The disciple is just worried about Senior Brother An Yun......"
"You don't have to worry. There are so many disciples in my Xuantian Sect, I will immediately order to go down and find another reliable disciple for An Yun to take care of. You just need to concentrate on doing your job well and be fully responsible for the cultivation of your two junior disciples. The Dust Dao Chief replied.
In the end, Chu Tianyao failed to change his master's mind and reluctantly retreated.
Leaving the Temple of Heaven and walking to a secluded place, he raised his head against the wall behind him.
"Master, you are so biased ......" For a long time, as an elite disciple in the sect, whatever he wanted could be easily satisfied, and this feeling called "jealousy" began to ferment in his heart for the first time. As soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes of being cared for by the Master when he was a child came to his mind one after another, and he was lifted high and sat on the Master's neck...... Under the guidance of the master, I learned to write stroke by stroke, and learned spiritual skills for the first time...... He naughtily tugged at Master's beard, but Master still smiled kindly at him...... Now all of this seems to be shattered in front of my eyes like glass.
"You only have Ye Shuo in your heart, and there is no place for me anymore?" As soon as Ye Shuo was mentioned, what appeared in his mind was the Ye Shuo who was waving a green-headed white radish, the Ye Shuo who stuffed his mouth with food in the restaurant, the Ye Shuo who had been staying in the gas storage period for several months, the Ye Shuo who couldn't even memorize the trick to enter the door, and the Ye Shuo who would be angry for his friends at any time...... Why! Why does the Master value him more than himself? Why is it that this useless junior disciple has completely replaced his position?!
Chu Tian looked at the sky from afar, trying his best to hold back the sourness surging in his eyes.
"Master, I will definitely prove to you that your vision is wrong!
Not long after, An Yun's loud scolding voice came from An Yun's room.
"What? Why!" Unsurprisingly, An Yun's reaction was very intense.
"That was the decision of the elders, and I have no right to change it. Chu Tianyao pretended to be calm. "But don't worry, Master said that other disciples will be arranged to take over immediately, and they will definitely take good care of you. ”
"I don't need anyone else!" An Yun was furious, "Will other people be as hard-working as you? Will other people be like you who will take the trouble to chat with me? Will other people endure my unreasonable demands endlessly like you? Are those elders all full of food and have nothing to do, why do you even have to take care of this? Or do you think that I have delayed your cultivation, and you want to find an excuse to get rid of me?"
"Senior Brother Anyun, today is the last day, let's be happy and finish this last day. Don't mess with the elders after that. Chu Tianyao was still persuaded with good words.
These words seemed to suddenly remind An Yun, and his eyes were fierce: "Yes, when those elders come again, I can protest to them in person! If they don't agree to take back their fate, then in this life, even if I die, they won't want to ask me about the secret of the forbidden spell from my mouth again!"
Chu Tianyao still pretended to persuade him.
After Chu Tianyao settled An Yun and lay down, he turned around and walked out of the room, a smile of unknown meaning slowly lifted from the corner of his mouth.
