Chapter 64: Cangran Ancient Palace Reminisces about the Past
In the ancient hall, a figure appeared at some point, facing Zhou Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Zhengtian.
Qingluo, who was dressed in green clothes, had red circles under her eyes and a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
"I don't want to get involved in your fight. Shangguan Zhengtian made his thoughts clear.
"You're already involved. Qingluo said, "The people of the Metaphysical Sect may not embarrass you, but Cai Wuji is different from them. ”
"Cai Wuji?" Zhou Xiaoxiao whispered.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Zhengtian was puzzled.
"I've heard the name. The elders of the clan had warned me not to provoke him. ”
"Did you say anything about him?" Shangguan Zhengtian said curiously.
"No, it's just that if you touch it, you can let it go, and you don't have to fight with him, saying he's a madman. ”
The two did not shy away from the woman in cuiyi when they spoke, and at this time, the woman in cuiyi took over the conversation.
"My young lady has inquired about him, if you two are willing to listen?" Qingluo asked carefully.
"Well, you name it. Shangguan Zhengtian nodded.
Qingluo cleared her throat and told everything she knew about Cai Wuji.
In the territory of the Great Cloud Kingdom in the east of the southern soil, there was originally a sect called the Agni Gate, and the sect was very small, but there were only more than ten people. The only thing to mention is the master.
The master of this fire gate was born with a heavenly fire in his body, which can scorch all things, and he is extremely domineering, relying on this flower in his heart not to extinguish the fire, deterring the surrounding factions from daring to bully, even though the sect is located in many strong factions, but also live happily.
That year, he first entered the realm of vanity, and on a whim, he had the heart to travel. After only a few words with the surrounding factions, he drifted away.
After a year, this sect master returned from a wandering, looking at the pie as before, showing a smile.
"Master!" More than a dozen apprentices had already gathered around, "Master, what is this?"
The owner of the door, who was originally a single wanderer, returned with an extra child.
"His name is Zao Wou-Ki. Wuji, these are your brothers and sisters, and this will be your home in the future!" the door master pointed to the plaque of the Flame Gate and pinched the hand of the young child holding the ancient sword beside him.
"Thank you, Master......"
For a wandering orphan, the meaning of home is more important than life.
The young Cai Wuji liked the life here very much, there was no abuse and bullying, no hunger and cold, no need to compete with wild dogs for food, no need to guard against wild beasts, and his brothers and sisters loved him very much.
He quickly blended in, tried his best to do what he could, and he cherished everyone and everything here.
"Wuji, why did you secretly get up early again to disturb the courtyard? You don't need to sweep the yard, come and have breakfast." ”
"Senior sister, I can't sleep. No one felt sorry for me before, and I was used to living a hard life. Now that everyone is so good to me, I don't do anything, and I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Senior Sister looked at Cai Wuji lovingly, patted him lightly on the head, and then took his hand and led him to the dining table.
"Alright, everyone is ready, let's eat. "It's the elder brother of the Flame Gate who speaks.
The master of the Agni Fire Sect has long stopped eating fireworks, and the senior brother and senior sister are usually responsible for the three meals of the disciples in the door. Fortunately, there are only more than ten brothers in the door, and the two of them are relaxed.
The senior brother is a little old-fashioned, and he is usually strict with Cai Wuji, but fortunately, he is protected by the senior sister. Whenever Cai Wuji was counted down, the senior sister would always stand in the way, and at this time, the senior brother just showed a look of "loving mother and many defeated children", shaking his head in distress, helpless.
But Zao Wou-Ki still likes Senior Brother as much as he loves Senior Brother, because when no one is around, Senior Brother will secretly stuff him with some food to answer his questions.
Time flies, the Flame Gate has grown from more than ten people to more than 100 people, and Cai Wouji has grown from a young child to a teenager.
"Wuji, two days later, there will be a competition in the door, so prepare well. "Senior brother and senior sister are here together.
"Be careful not to get hurt. "These are the words of the senior sister.
"I must achieve a good result and live up to the expectations of my brothers and sisters. The young man secretly made up his mind and took out the ancient sword he had put away.
On the day of the fight, the door master sat above and cast an encouraging glance at Cai Wouji.
That day, he won against his opponent.
Cai Wuji was very happy, he cheered, but saw the usually kind brothers and sisters looking at him with frightened eyes.
"What's wrong?" Cai Wuji looked at himself suspiciously.
Blood, all over the place.
He looked at his opponent, lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing, it was one of his senior brothers.
And his own sword, stained with his blood.
"Why is this happening?"
Cai Wuji hugged his head and cried, and the indescribable pain occupied his brain.
Then, he saw one senior brother after another fall in front of him, and at the end of the line were senior brothers and sisters, and master.
The senior brother and the senior sister hugged each other and died, and the last words he heard were said by the master: "Idiot, wake up." ”
......
The story stops with the closing of the green pothos.
"Where's the Flame Gate?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked.
"There is no life left in the whole door. Qingluo responded.
"Now that the Flame Gate has been slaughtered, who are these things coming from?" Shangguan Zhengtian asked.
"Indeed, there is no such thing as a gate of fire, and when our men went to investigate, there were only graves. These things were learned from a notebook in the mourning hall. ”
"Maybe the former Zao Wou-Ki didn't want the world to forget about this sect. Zhou Xiaoxiao said.
Since then, Cai Wuji's whereabouts have been uncertain, and the fights that have been recorded have only been recorded twice, once with one enemy and two, both of whom are new to the void, Cai Wuji was seriously injured, and the two hostile people have not even left their corpses. The second time was that the two of them came to seek revenge, a Void Realm Achiever and five Void Void Realm Newcomers, that battle lasted for half a month, five Void Void Realm people died tragically, and the Void Void Realm returned to the sect on the verge of death, and died the next day. Qingluo continued.
"Is it a great achievement in the Void Realm?" Shangguan Zhengtian whispered.
"Cai Wuji has an extreme personality, and the things he recognizes will not be easily changed, but those who see him make a move rarely stay alive. These are the words left by the Avatar. Qingluo added.
"One thing comes to mind. Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "I remember that when I was young, someone in the clan participated in the encirclement and suppression of a certain teenager, and then I never came back. Now that I think about it, it should be him. ”
"You should be talking about the encirclement and suppression of him by all factions five years ago, and no one thought that he would survive. On that occasion, all the factions joined forces to encircle him and force him into a desperate situation, but when he was dying, a mysterious man suddenly appeared, claiming to be a sword protector, and killed all the people who surrounded him. Since then, there has been no news of Cai Wouji. I thought he was seriously injured and died, but I didn't expect to meet him again here. ”
Shangguan Zhengtian fell into deep thought, he couldn't judge Cai Wuji's strength or weakness, but according to what Qingluo said, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to leave alone, not to mention that he has to worry about red beans.
"Give me a reason to help you. Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the girl in cuiyi.
"Qingluo has no long things, if the son does not dislike it, Qingluo is willing to serve the child, I just ask the son to escort Qingluo out of here and send a message to my young lady. ”
With tears in her eyes, the girl in green clothes knelt down in front of the two.
"Sister Qingluo, get up. Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and pulled him up, and said, "There is no need for this, he has already agreed." ”
As she spoke, she glanced back at Shangguan Zhengtian, she understood Shangguan Zhengtian, he was purely pinching the shelf.
"Yes......" Shangguan Zhengtian pinched his nose and responded, "But the purpose of our coming here is Ice Jade Heart, so we have to continue to go deeper, will we not get out of here for a while and a half, and the risk here is unknown, if you follow us, it may not be safe." ”
"Childe, it's not in the way, although I'm not good at fighting, but I have some understanding of the terrain of the formation, and I may be able to help. ”
The three of them were together, and gradually went deeper.
Qingluo's understanding of the formation method is by no means what she herself said, and in Shangguan Zhengtian's opinion, she can be called proficient.
With the help of Qingluo, the three of them were rarely stopped, and they came to the deepest part as if they were walking in the courtyard.
It's still an ancient temple.
"This is probably the deepest part. Qingluo said.
"Why is Sister Qingluo so convinced?" asked Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"Because there is no ban here. Qingluo responded.
"Maybe we're going to see the owner here. Shangguan Zhengtian was the first to enter the ancient hall, and the two followed.
One by one, the lights lit up as the three of them went deeper, and the dark ancient hall became brighter.
"Hell!" Qingluo exclaimed, holding Zhou Xiaoxiao's arm, not daring to look forward.
A huge sarcophagus was placed in the deepest part of the ancient hall, and in front of the sarcophagus there was an ethereal figure, which appeared and disappeared in the light.
Shangguan Zhengtian looked there, his brows couldn't help frowning, no matter how you look here, it doesn't look like there is an ice jade heart.
"Will you inherit my mantle?" the phantom's voice was ethereal.
"No, I'm here for the heart of the ice jade. Shangguan Zhengtian frowned.
"Well, there is no Ice Jade Heart here. Let's go. "The shadow fades.
"How can there be no ice jade heart where there is ice jade exquisiteness?" Shangguan Zhengtian asked.
The voice echoed in the ancient hall, but there was no response.
"I don't know what can be exchanged for an ice jade heart from a senior?" Shangguan Zhengtian was unwilling to give up.
The shadow reappeared, raised his head, and seemed to be looking at Shangguan Zhengtian.
"Your essence and blood. ”
"Where's the Ice Jade Heart?"
"I don't have an Ice Jade Heart here, but I can tell you where it is. ”
"The predecessor has been here for an unknown amount of time, and the outside world has long since changed, and no one knows if the ice jade heart you said is still there. ”
"Well, let's do it then, add another phoenix blood grass. ”
The three words of phoenix blood grass are no less than thunder in Shangguan Zhengtian's heart, except for the phoenix blood grass recorded in the secret recipe he holds, even if he checked all the books in the clan, he could not see the record, and even in the past few years of walking in the world, he has not been able to find out the slightest news.
"Where?" Shangguan Zhengtian asked, clenching his fists.
The sarcophagus staggered a corner, and one of the jade bottles floated out and slowly fell into Shangguan Zhengtian's hands.
Although it is separated by the jade bottle, the scene in the bottle cannot be hidden from Shangguan Zhengtian's eyes. Inside the bottle, the sound of birds chirping, the phoenix shadow is sufficient, just one glance, he is sure that this is the phoenix blood grass.
