Chapter 469: Seven Star Life-Sustaining Lamp
With the help of astrological deduction, Li Xiuyun easily relied on the seven-star disk dragon array laid by Sun Baiyi in the stargazing tower, but in fact, even if he didn't rely on it, this star array would not last long.
When Sun Baiyi was arranging the array, she may have calculated everything, and she knew very well that there was only one person in the world who could break the Seven Star Disk Dragon Array. Unless that person returns, no one will be able to crack her formation.
After breaking the formation, Li Xiuyun took Xiao'er's hand and entered the stargazing tower, it was night at this time, the light in the stargazing tower was dim, and there were a few faint candles hanging on the wall, because there had been no maintenance for many years, the wooden planks on the ground had rotted, and there would be a "crunch" sound when stepped on.
The 100-storey stargazing tower is supported by a single pillar in the middle, but it is so moth-eaten that it is now precarious, and if it is affected by an earthquake, it may collapse directly.
On the first floor of the Stargazing Tower, there is a teleportation array, which can lead directly to the top of the building, and Sun Baiyi originally reached the top of the Stargazing Tower directly with the help of the teleportation array.
But after so many years, this place has long been untouched, and the teleportation circle on the ground has been eroded by the years, and it is covered with dust, and only the fragments of the magic circle are left, and they can no longer be used.
Xiao'er glanced at the interior of the stargazing tower, and sighed in her heart, it was not like this when her mother brought her here, but because of disrepair, it became so dilapidated.
If you think about it carefully, there have always been servants from the military family who have come to clean it here, but since the military family was occupied by those people from the Black Dragon Sect, the stargazing tower has not been repaired for many years, and it has gradually fallen into dilapidation.
"Mother is at the top of the stargazing tower, let's go up quickly. Xiao'er said in a deep voice, there is a wooden staircase in front of her, and you can continue to use it.
To get to the top, they had to go up the stairs until they reached the roof.
So Li Xiuyun and Xiao'er walked up through the stairs in the stargazing tower, and there would be a "creaking" sound under their feet from time to time, and if they used a little force, they might break the plank.
They wrapped their spiritual power around the soles of their feet, making them float in the air, and then kept shuttling between the stairs to the top of the stargazing tower.
Soon, they came to the last floor of the Stargazing Tower, where there was no road in front of them, only an upward staircase, and after passing through this staircase, they could reach the top!
At this moment, Xiao'er's mood was extremely nervous, and she would soon be able to see her mother, thinking day and night, now that her dream was about to come true, she couldn't help but hold her breath, and her little hand tightly pulled Li Xiuyun and stepped on the last step of the ladder with him.
Suddenly, Xiao'er stopped, only one last step away from passing this staircase, and she began to hesitate, not knowing what state to use to meet her mother.
And after so many years, my mother has been staying in the stargazing building, what happened to her, has she become old, or even turned into a dry bone......
Xiao'er didn't dare to think about it, her mood at this time was very complicated, there was the excitement of meeting her mother soon, and the fear of facing the truth, because in her mind, the image of her mother has always been so beautiful, she didn't dare to imagine that her mother had become a dry bone.
Suddenly, Li Xiuyun's big hand tightly grasped Xiao'er's little hand, she raised her head, only to see the man smile and say, "Let's go, let's go see her together." ”
"Hmm. Xiao'er nodded, and she figured it out.
No matter what her mother has become, she will always be her own mother, and this will never change.
Not only Xiao'er, but even Li Xiuyun's heart was a little apprehensive, he knew that Sun Baiyi was not "dead", but after so many years, even he didn't know what she had become.
All this can only be witnessed by him with his own eyes, but he has secretly sworn in his heart that no matter what Sun Baiyi becomes, he will save her.
Xiao'er and Sun Baiyi depend on each other, she can't lose her mother, and this is also the salvation that Li Xiuyun can do, at least let Sun Baiyi see her last face.
Coming to the roof of the stargazing tower, there is only a simple room in front of you, a bright moonlight is shining in the room from above, looking up from here, through the skylight, you can just see all the stars in the night sky, a lonely back sits there quietly, like a wax figure frozen there.
She was bathed in the white moonlight, three thousand green silks were scattered behind her like a waterfall, a gorgeous robe and a purple robe, her skin was as white as jade, her back was extremely beautiful, and the years were eternal, and she had been sitting quietly in place.
But under the glamorous appearance, there is inner decay, Li Xiuyun can't feel a trace of life breath from her, there are countless gray and white silver filaments hidden under the three thousand green silks, she has reached her limit, and she died half a year ago.
"Mother...... Xiao'er is back. ”
Xiao'er stared at the back in front of her, which was no longer familiar to her, tears kept rolling in her eyes, she couldn't help choking, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.
However, she didn't turn around like she expected Xiao'er's voice, nor did she respond to anything, she just sat there quietly.
Li Xiuyun stood by Xiao'er's side, he saw it more thoroughly than Xiao'er, no matter how she called, Sun Baiyi would not have any response.
He clenched his fists lightly, looking at the familiar back in front of him that seemed very lonely, she still couldn't wait for the last moment after all.
"Mother, I'm Xiao'er, I'm back looking for you......" Xiao'er choked up and shouted to the person in front of her, and her voice gradually sobbed.
Li Xiuyun's expression did not fluctuate at all, he was not a cold-blooded person, but after so many life and death partings, his heart was already numb.
He raised his head and stared at the purple-robed back in front of him, there were seven seven hundred and forty-nine small lamps around her, surrounding seven lotus lamps, and all the forty-nine small lamps had dried up.
Seven lotus lanterns, six of which fell to the ground, only the last lamp was still suspended above her head, and there was still a faint candle light on the last lamp, but it was also about to go out.
"Seven-star life-sustaining lamp. ”
Li Xiuyun saw the layout around Sun Baiyi, and instantly recognized this method, it was a spell to borrow life from the sky, only when all the forty-nine small lamps were lit, she could continue her life for another seven years.
But this method also comes at a heavy price, that is, it is impossible to re-enter the path of samsara.
Judging from the traces on the small lamp, in the end, Sun Baiyi succeeded in casting the spell, and she sealed her seven souls and six spirits in the seven lotus lamps, and only when all the seven lotus lamps burned out, she would really die.
She had already calculated that she had little time left, which was a very sad thing, and knowing when she was going to die, she would become depressed in the little time she had left.
However, this also made her prepare in advance, before Zi Weixing fell, she cast a spell to lay down the Seven Star Life Renewal Lamp, when Zi Wei Star fell, she still would not really die, and the Seven Star Life Renewal Lantern would replace her original life expectancy, so as to give herself another seven years.
The seven lotus lamps sealed her seven souls respectively, six of them had been extinguished, she had lost her six souls, and only the last remnant soul remained, which was sealed in the last lamp.
"Let's go. ”
Li Xiuyun took Xiao'er's hand and came to Sun Baiyi with her.
The expression on her face was very calm, her eyes were closed under her slender eyelashes, as if she was asleep, she was still so beautiful, but it was a beauty that was frozen, and the years were eternal.
"Mother!!"
After Xiao'er saw the person in front of her, she couldn't hold back any longer, tears instantly burst out of her eyes like a burst, she reached out to wipe it, but found that she couldn't stop leaving tears at all.
But no matter how much she cried and grieved, the person in front of her would not respond to her, and they would not be able to hold her in their arms and comfort her as before, and Xiao'er had realized this.
"Mother, don't sleep, open your eyes and look at Xiao'er, woo woo......"
Xiao'er kept calling for her mother, and she suddenly sat on the ground with her whole body weak, her shoulders trembling violently, her mouth choked up, and she couldn't speak.
Her mind began to recall the bits and pieces of her mother like a flashback, and those precious memories lingered in her mind.
Li Xiuyun stood beside her, squatting down gently, Xiao'er's emotions were on the verge of getting out of control, so he held his daughter in his arms with both hands.
"Woo...... Woo!!"
Xiao'er cried loudly in Li Xiuyun's arms, she had never cried so sadly, she originally thought she was strong enough, but in this person's arms, she could cry loudly, tears fell down, and the long-suppressed emotions completely broke out at this moment.
Soon, Li Xiuyun's clothes were all soaked with her tears, and he felt Xiao'er's delicate body trembling, he could only hug her tightly and give her a place to vent.
She has been too bitter over the years, knowing that although her mother is not much, she can only watch, there is no way at all, Xiao'er seems to have a strong appearance, but she actually has a very fragile heart.
She has never cried in front of Sun Baiyi, because she must be strong and not let her mother worry about her, and she can only cry as much as she wants when her father is in her arms.
Maybe Xiao'er won't know that the man in front of her is her father, blood is thicker than water, in her father's arms, after crying, everything will be fine.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes were ruddy, she was already swollen from crying, she was still sobbing in a low voice, and her delicate body was trembling all the time.
At this time, Li Xiuyun's clothes were completely soaked, but this dress was made of a special material, and it could be dried with a little spiritual power.
After a long time, until Xiao'er's body stopped trembling, and the sound of sobbing became weaker and weaker, she stood up from Li Xiuyun's arms, and her tears had dried up.
Her current mood is very complicated, looking at the man in front of her, the emotions she had finally suppressed were in the man's arms, as if some kind of switch was turned on, and her emotions were out of control on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Senior Li, I lost my temper in front of you. Xiao'er blushed, lowered her head and whispered.
"It's okay, it's good to cry about something. Li Xiuyun said to her.
"She's not actually dead yet, there's a way to save her!"
