48. Win the dry chapter (7)
Lu Xuange, who had just descended from the immortal realm, glanced around and watched hundreds of disciples kneel down towards him in unison, their movements were uniform, and no one had crossed the slightest.
The circle under everyone's feet still faintly emits a faint light, and there are pennants planted in an orderly circle next to the circle, surrounded by flowers, the four seasons in the distance are like spring, and there seem to be clouds and mist on the high mountains.
Such a grand welcoming ceremony didn't seem to make Lu Xuange feel a little happy, the expression on his face was extremely cold, his long snow-white hair and pale eyes made his whole person look like frost, and Situ Luo, who was close to him, also felt the cold breath on his body.
Since this person ascended to the immortal realm, it seems that he has completely lost his human characteristics and temperament, and if it sounds good, it is not a fireworks in the world, but if it is not good, he has no humanity and is an indifferent and ruthless immortal.
The extreme coldness on his body made Situ Luo, who was closest to him, feel cold, and he couldn't help but cheer up, and still said, "Master, I have come from afar, and I have worked hard for you." β
"Why are there so many people every time?" Lu Xuange didn't seem to like so many disciples gathering together, "Didn't I tell you not to put on such a big show?"
Situ Luo sneered and said, "Master, you are an immortal, so you naturally have to be cautious. β
Lu Xuange didn't bother to care, and said, "That's it, don't let the disciples gather here, let's go back to the sect." β
His Excellency Lu Xuan reached the instructions of the sect, and took the lead in raising his steps and walking towards the mountain gate. Situ Luo next to him immediately gestured to the disciples kneeling on the ground, and everyone stood up one after another, spontaneously gathered together, and walked behind Lu Xuange.
At this time, Tu Yuan, who was standing in the crowd, raised his head and looked at Lu Xuange, who was standing at the forefront of the top.
Lu Xuange returns to the sect once in a hundred years, this frequency is actually very high for cultivators, after all, the life span of monks is long, time is not a supreme wealth for them, they can be squandered wantonly, provided that your cultivation is high enough, the higher the cultivation, the longer the lifespan, it is said that after ascension, it is basically equivalent to having an infinite lifespan.
Such an immortal with infinite time frequently runs to the human realm, you can say that he cares too much about this sect established by him, or you can say that he is reluctant to be a disciple and companion in the sect.
Tu Yuan always felt that Lu Xuange's frequent running to the lower realm was actually not directed at his own sect at all.
But what did he come for? Tu Yuan didn't know.
He didn't want to know why.
Although Lu Xuange will appear in front of the disciples of the Qinghong Sword Sect every hundred years, it will only appear once, the disciples can only see Lu Xuange in the ceremony of the arrival of the immortals, and after Lu Xuange returns to the sect, he will never appear in front of the disciples of the sect again, he has no idea where he went, and no one dares to ask where he went, and no one knows when he will return to the immortal realm after that.
So this time, it's his last chance.
Tu Yuan's heartbeat was violent, and a sound in his ears was like a drum explosion, he took a deep breath, his steps accelerated, and he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards Lu Xuange in front of him, as if he wanted to do something, Ying Qian, who had been guarding him next to him, noticed this, and immediately reached out to hold Tu Yuan's hand, intending to stop it.
Tu Yuan glanced back at Ying Qian.
This glance made Ying Qian stunned, he had never seen Tu Yuan have such eyes, such extremely firm eyes that would not give up, and Ying Qian's heart that seemed to not be beating was beating.
Then Tu Yuan shook off Ying Qian's hand, turned around and walked towards Lu Xuange without looking back, he sped up his speed, he quickly blocked in front of Lu Xuange and the door master Situ Luo, his obstruction made Lu Xuange and Situ Luo couldn't help but stop, looking at him with cold or sharp eyes.
Naturally, there were also disciples next to him who were paying close attention to Shangxian and his own sect master, and seeing that Tu Yuan stepped forward to block the footsteps of others, a group of people were in an uproar, and they all showed expressions of good things to see, and spontaneously gathered over.
"Oh my God, it's Tu Yuan, he actually dares to stop the immortal, is he going to die?" someone in the crowd whispered.
Situ Luo, who was next to Lu Xuange, also reacted, showing an obvious displeased expression, and said to Tu Yuan: "Tu Yuan, what are you doing?"
Tu Yuan was so nervous that he couldn't breathe well, but he still forced himself to bow his head and raise his hand, and said to Situ Luo: "Sect master, I have one thing, I want to ask for an answer from the immortals, I know that I am not qualified, I am afraid that when I return to the sect, I will not have the opportunity to meet the immortals, so no matter what, I hope that the immortals can answer me today." β
"Don't mess around here!" Situ Luo became even more displeased, "Are you still ashamed that you haven't lost enough?"
At this time, Ying Qian also squeezed through the crowd and followed, seeing this scene, he immediately rushed forward and grabbed Tu Yuan's arm, and then he glanced at Lu Xuange and Situ Luo, and quickly knelt down and said politely to Situ Luo and Lu Xuange: "Door master, Shangxian, my master did not mean to be rash, please calm your anger." β
Lu Xuange looked at Ying Qian, then at Tu Yuan, and suddenly sneered, stopped Situ Luo, who was still trying to say something, and said to Tu Yuan: "Which elder's disciple are you, and what is your name?"
Tu Yuan immediately returned respectfully: "Elder Tu Ling, my name is Tu Yuan. β
"It turned out to be Elder Tu Ling's disciple, and I met your master not long ago...... In the fairy world. Lu Xuange spoke a little gently, and he didn't seem to be angry at Tu Yuan's offensive actions, which made Tu Yuan's heart settle down a lot.
Tu Yuan, who had settled down, immediately raised his voice and said to Lu Xuange excitedly: "If the immortal sees my master, please take me to say hello to his old man." β
"There's no chance. Although Lu Xuange seemed to be speaking gently, his tone was quite cold: "Your master has failed to ascend to the Spirit Slaying Realm, and has entered the demon and has been beaten into the demon realm. β
This sentence made Tu Yuan stupid, raised his head tremblingly, and glared at Lu Xuange in shock.
Even if it is an immortal who has already ascended, there are indeed many people who will fall into the demon path...... It is better to say that many immortals may fall into the demon path.
Gods and demons have been a family since ancient times, different paths to the same end, ten thousand laws to return to the sect, but God has God's way of living, demons have demons chic, a thought into a god and a thought into a demon, it is originally a blurred line, many monks on the road to cultivation will have demons because of various problems, these demons are also the main reason for these monks to fall into the devil's path.
Even if it was not uncommon for a soaring immortal to fall into the demon path, that immortal was a master that Tu Yuan had always revered, which made Tu Yuan a little difficult to accept for a while.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that Lu Xuange actually calmly said this matter in front of everyone, not taboo at all, or taking into account Tu Yuan's feelings.
Lu Xuange didn't seem to have much interest in this matter, and before Tu Yuan came to his senses, he continued: "You stopped me, do you have any questions to ask? Don't be stunned, say it quickly." β
Tu Yuan came back to his senses at this time, barely suppressed the churning in his heart, he trembled and said: "I want to ask the immortals, my cultivation has been stuck in the infancy stage, I feel that my cultivation has reached its peak, and a breakthrough is something that can be done at any time, but it has dragged on for nearly a thousand years, I can't understand this, I have tried all kinds of methods but can't do anything, today I have the fate to meet the immortals, ask the immortals to give me some guidance." β
Hearing this, Lu Xuange looked Tu Yuan up and down, and said with a smile: "You have a demon, and this demon makes it impossible for you to break through the realm." β
Tu Yuan's head was lowered, and he replied: "Immortal, I have also comprehended it myself, and I know that I have a demon, but I don't know how to get rid of this demon." β
Lu Xuange didn't answer the question, he turned his head to look at Ying Qian beside Tu Yuan, and asked Tu Yuan, "Is this your servant?"
"Yes, he is my servant. Tu Yuan didn't want Lu Xuange's attention to turn to Ying Qian beside him, which even caused him to take a step closer to Ying Qian beside him, intending to block Lu Xuange's sight with his body.
Just because Lu Xuange's gaze was too cold and sharp, Tu Yuan always felt that his eyes were full of quite terrifying killing intent when he looked at Ying Qian, which made Tu Yuan's heart churn with fear, and also gave Tu Yuan a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, Lu Xuange threw out an astonishing remark to Tu Yuan, he said: "Kill this envoy, and your demons will be solved." β
Tu Yuan was stunned, and replied after half a day: "Shangxian, he is just an envoy, how can he make me have demons?"
"An envoy is higher than his master, and he is higher than the many disciples present. Lu Xuange suddenly took a step towards Tu Yuan, and stepped in front of Tu Yuan's eyes in one step, glaring at Tu Yuan, seeing that Tu Yuan trembled, "An envoy, you don't hesitate to block him with your body, intending to block my killing intent towards him." β
"He's just a tool, and he's a filthy monster, a filthy zombie. Lu Xuange said, "You will become dependent on him, have a protective mind for him, and even have attachment to him." β
"That's your demon. Lu Xuange's cold and ruthless voice poured into Tu Yuan's ears, "Kill him, and your path of cultivation will continue." β
Tu Yuan could barely stop his body from trembling.
There was silence all around, and all the onlookers closed their mouths and didn't dare to say more, and hundreds of eyes fell on Tu Yuan's body in unison, making Tu Yuan's brain blank, and there was no way to think seriously at all.
But Lu Xuange's words kept echoing in his heart.
Have an attachment to Yingqian?
He had known this kind of thing for a long time, many years ago, but he couldn't remember why he had a crush on Ying Qian, maybe it was when he woke up one morning and saw Ying Qian standing motionless by his side, maybe it was when he was thirsty and wanted to drink tea, and Ying Qian handed him a glass of water, maybe more and more...... Because there are too many such things, Tu Yuan can't remember clearly.
But Tu Yuan was very clear in his heart, and he clearly knew that it was probably the moment when this attachment was born that Tu Yuan was trapped in the demons all day long, and he could no longer extricate himself.
ββββ
"How does it feel to be in love with a zombie?"
"What? Zombie, are you crazy?"
"I'm just asking...... It's not like I really like zombies. β
"Then I'll tell you the truth, Star Luo Sect you know, that sect that accepts a lot of female disciples, there is also a female disciple in their sect who likes monsters, and after being discovered by the master, he was expelled from the sect, and he ran away with the monsters, and then there was no news, and then when someone went to investigate, he found out, how could monsters like humans, after the monster took the female disciple away, he cramped and peeled the skin, and stewed it alive in a large pot, and died a miserable death!"
"Even if there are one or two hateful youkai, it doesn't mean that all youkai are like this. β
"Brother, you are so naΓ―ve, it is true that there are good monsters among them, but what is the proportion of such good monsters? Especially zombies, they are monsters among monsters! Do you know what zombies are? They are living corpses, dead corpses with dead flesh and blood, without emotion and humanity, and bloodthirsty zombies are even worse, all living flesh and blood creatures are 'food' in their eyes, do you have any feelings for food?"
No, it's not.
Tu Yuan sat on the chair and shook his feet, turned his head to look at Ying Qian, who helped him copy the scriptures in front of the case, Ying Qian's sitting posture was very standardized, and the posture when copying was also very standardized, every word he wrote on the paper imitated Tu Yuan's handwriting extremely exquisitely, and he wrote very quickly.
Tu Yuan secretly looked at him for a while, and he didn't know what kind of heart he was in, he suddenly asked, "Ying Qian, do you want to drink human blood?"
This question made the winner over there shake his hand, the brush was unstable, and he drew crooked strokes on the paper.
Ying Qian raised his head and glanced at Tu Yuan, his expression was very calm, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. Ying Qian has always been like this, he still cried and laughed when he was a human before, but since he became a zombie, Tu Yuan found that he had hardly laughed anymore, Ying Qian was always that expressionless face, always that calm as watery attitude.
He was so calm, so calm that he didn't seem interested in anything, and would only carry out Tu Yuan's orders like a machine, never expressing his thoughts, and never saying "no" to Tu Yuan.
This occasionally made Tu Yuan feel a little frustrated.
Despite this, Tu Yuan still felt that Ying Qian probably liked him, because Ying Qian was so good to Tu Yuan, better than everyone else in this world to him.
This thought made Tu Yuan a little happy, he jumped down from the chair, staggered to the front of Ying Gan, reached out and hugged Ying Gan's shoulder, sat on Ying Gan's lap generously, leaned close to his face and said to him: "Since you followed me into the sect, I have always asked you to drink the blood of those beasts, do you want to drink human blood? If it is a zombie, you should think about it, right?"
Ying Qian was silent for a moment before he replied slowly, "If you want me to drink......
Tu Yuan felt that he had guessed right, he had seen the records of monster characteristics before, and it said that bloodthirsty zombies like Ying Qian, if they don't suck human blood, they will always be in a state of hunger, and hungry zombies are very painful, painful and irritable, because the blood of ordinary animals can't satisfy them at all.
"Then drink mine!" Tu Yuan said seriously, he pulled open the collar of his clothes, revealing a large piece of his neck and collarbone, the blue veins under the white skin were clearly audible, and the flowing blood seemed to exude a bewildering fragrance, which made Ying Qian swallow his saliva involuntarily.
But Ying Qian didn't do anything, he suddenly stood up, and pushed Tu Yuan away, Tu Yuan was pushed down by him and sat on the ground, a little confused, looking at Ying Qian in confusion.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't inject me with corpse poison, I'll just lose some blood. Tu Yuan thought he was worried about this.
But Ying Qian, who stood up, looked at Tu Yuan with an indifferent gaze, this was the first time he refused Tu Yuan's request, he said: "I can't do this, because I can't help but want to kill you." β
He said this very seriously, and he didn't mean to joke at all.
Then he was gone, out of the room, out of Tu Yuan's sight.
This is just an event like a big or small episode in life, which should not have attracted Tu Yuan's attention, but somehow, Tu Yuan firmly remembered the eyes of Ying Qian looking at him at that time, and there was indeed a strong killing intent in that look, that kind of cold and piercing feeling, which made Tu Yuan remember it to this day.
Then Tu Yuan couldn't help but start wondering.
He would think, does Ying Qian really like him?
He couldn't help but test this person, he wanted to know what Ying Qian's bottom line was, so Tu Yuan ordered him to do all kinds of excessive things, to steal and rob to be a jumping clown, insult him, scold him and even beat him ruthlessly, but Ying Qian didn't give any reaction, Ying Qian always had that expression, that ...... An icy expression.
It's cold and suffocating.
How can you be so calm?
Tu Yuan lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt in front of Lu Xuange, and said to Lu Xuange respectfully: "Thank you for the guidance of Shangxian, I already know where my demons are, and I am really grateful to be able to listen to the teachings of Shangxian today. β
At this point, the younger generation retired. β
After speaking, Tu Yuan stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled Ying Qian, who was also kneeling on the ground next to him, to get up, wanting to take him away.
But at this time, Lu Xuange seemed to be reluctant to give up, and opened his mouth to leave a person: "Slow." β
Tu Yuan paused slightly, then turned around and made another gesture: "What else does the immortal command?"
Lu Xuange narrowed his eyes: "Since you already know where your inner demon is, why don't you kill him?"
Tu Yuan subconsciously bit his lower lip and replied slowly: "Shangxian, I will deal with him later, do it now, I'm afraid it will stain your eyes......"
Before Tu Yuan finished speaking, Lu Xuange interrupted him: "I, Lu Xuange, have killed too many demons and monsters than you think, how can I be disgusted with my eyes? And he was hit by your life and death order, and letting him die is only a matter of moments, but there is not even ashes left in the way of death, what are you still hesitating about?"
Tu Yuan was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't think of an excuse to delay, he took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Lu Xuange, staring directly into the other party's eyes, without the slightest intention of backing down.
"Shangxian, I don't want to kill him. Tu Yuan said, "If you say that he is my inner demon, then I will unlock his life and death decree and let him go, as long as I am not with him, then the inner demon will be automatically lifted." β
"Ignorant child, you are making excuses for your escape. Lu Xuange suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword hanging from the waist of Situ Luo, who was standing next to him, the tip of the sword flashed, pointed at Ying Qian beside Tu Yuan, and said sharply: "You can't kill him, I'll help you kill him!"
As soon as Lu Xuange's words fell, the tip of the sword stabbed towards Ying Qian, the attack of the immortals was not at all something that the current Ying Qian could resist, if this sword went down, Ying Qian would definitely die and have no place to be buried!
Tu Yuan was frightened, so frightened that he instinctively took a step and wanted to block in front of Ying Gan, but Ying Qian was one step faster than him, and stretched out his hand to push Tu Yuan next to him away, Lu Xuange immediately pierced Ying Qian's heart with a sword, and the blade of the sword inexplicably ignited flames, and the flames began to spread to Ying Gan's body, spreading along the position of the sword in his heart.
Then Lu Xuange pulled the sword back with all his might, and shook it casually, the blade was still as bright as a sword.
