Chapter 348-349: The Holy See's Delegation
Here is saying that you should be careful of "doves occupying magpies' nests", and that side is really talking about "doves occupying magpies' nests".
In the battle of Thousand Illusion Valley that day, not only Nangong Li's whereabouts were unknown, but even Nangong Du, one of the three yuan babies of the Nangong family, also had an accident.
The body was destroyed, the infant spirit fled alone, and was rescued by Nangong Li at the last moment.
Later, Nangong Li disappeared, the Nangong family fell into turmoil, and Nangong Du, who was reshaping his body, died in the process of reshaping his body for unknown reasons.
The people below only knew that Nangong Du had fallen in the Thousand Illusion Valley battle, and only Nangong Duxue and Nangong Feiyun (the old man in the middle of the Yuan Infant) knew the details.
In this way, how can the two of them not be both shocked and afraid?
Feeling that the family business is not guaranteed, as the only remaining two-yuan baby, there may be any accidents at any time, so the two of them tried their best, not only asking for help from their previous contacts and in-laws, but also strictly guarding the door, low-key as if it did not exist, and even Nangong Li's whereabouts and rescue did not dare to do it, like a frightened bird.
But the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop!
Past connections and in-laws are all vague at this critical juncture.
Many dependent sects smelled the smell in advance, and they broke away from the Nangong family and became independent.
A large-scale conscription order made Nangong Duxue and Nangong Feiyun unavoidable.
This is a situation where the building is about to collapse and embattled, and now even the ordinary disciples below know that the future of the family is not good.
There is no way forward, there is no way back, Nangong Duxue is at a loss, and Nangong Feiyun has aged a lot in such a short period of time.
was forced into a desperate situation, and Nangong Duxue secretly took refuge in Daojun, and Nangong Feiyun did not know about this.
If you know, with Nangong Feiyun's experience and insight, you will definitely oppose it, just because this is a road of no return, once you set foot on it, it will be equivalent to self-isolation and the world of monks, and then you can only go one way to the dark.
Thinking of his Nangong family, it has survived for thousands of years, and all kinds of talents with top qualifications have emerged in an endless stream, and they occupy a sixth-order high-grade spiritual mountain that can marry babies, which is naturally located on the top floor of the monk world.
Let him give up all this, give up this inheritance and pride that has been descending for thousands of years, and prostrate himself in front of a different species, and spend his days in the company of beasts (wild beasts), and linger in a remote and savage place...... It would be better to let him die, even if it is the worst outcome - the dojo is not guaranteed, and the family is separated and collapsed, it is better than this result.
Therefore, the meaning of the Mi family's marriage had just been revealed, and after Nangong Feiyun frowned, he felt that this was a good way to keep Nangong Duxue, and after hearing that it was the meaning of Heaven and Earth Peak behind it, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had seen the hope of turning the crisis into safety.
Who knows, he wanted to agree excitedly, but Nangong Duxue didn't know which way to smoke, so she actually refused with a broken attitude.
Nangong Feiyun was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded Yuanying surnamed Li, who was proposing, and asked with kind words to ask for some grace, he would definitely be able to persuade his junior sister to wake up and change her mind.
This persuasion lasted for months.
During this period, Nangong Duxue made the decision to secretly take refuge in Daojun, Nangong Feiyun didn't know it, and was still bitterly talking about the benefits and disadvantages and turning points of the opportunity to her one by one, and used the survival of the family, the well-being of blood relatives and so on.
However, Nangong Duxue just doesn't get in the oil and salt!
Seeing that the deadline he promised with Nangong Duxue on his back was about to arrive, he was helpless and desperate, so he had today's "final" talk.
Since all the benefits and rhetoric are useless, this last attempt speaks of the subtle and unspeakable.
“…… Senior sister can know, that Mi Daoling's longevity is probably not a hundred years left, junior sister can know that the only second-generation Yuan Infant of his family has been lost for many days, and a discerning person will know at a glance that the Mi family will not have a Yuan Infant to support the situation after a hundred years at most?"
"I know, but let me marry a bad old man, unless I die!!"
"Senior sister, why don't you want to think about it, Mi Daoling only has a few decades to live, and his family has no Yuan Ying to take over, after he dies, isn't the entire Mi family in your hands? I heard that behind his house is Yunxia Mountain, who in the world doesn't know, that refining red clothes is equal to the canary supported by the Heaven and Earth Peak......"
"Senior brother be cautious!"
"I can't care about that much now. This matter of men and women who love each other, it is most difficult for outsiders to say that they are clear, who knows what kind of mind Tiandifeng has for that Yunxia Mountain? And that Mi Daoling has been attached to refining red clothes since he ascended to the immortal, and the hidden feelings are enough for my family to borrow and move, let me ask, if there is such a relationship, how can those who are ready to shoot at my family behind their backs not cast a mouse bogey?"
"Senior Brother......
"My junior sister, why are you so clean? What's wrong with Mi Daoling, what about the wood, if you want me to say, it's not appropriate for him to be a person of the same age as my junior sister! It's only been a few decades, and my junior sister will be free with a flick of her fingers, and use these decades of discomfort and grievances to save the family from peril, this exchange, even if it is a fool and a fool in the mortal world, it can be counted as a fool and a foolish woman!"
Nangong Duxue's tears rolled down like raindrops, and in the face of Nangong Feiyun's heartfelt words, he really couldn't find a word to refute.
But......
"Senior sister, doesn't she have someone you like!?"
Nangong Duxue was shocked.
Nangong Feiyun laughed miserably when he saw it, "But it's still that person?"
"Senior brother, don't say it. ”
"Idiot, idiot, people have already gotten married, people say: Immortal dependents, envy others. It's been so many years, why can't you let it go? If you don't marry the Mi family, can you still marry him to the Ye family?"
"Senior brother!!" Nangong Duxue burst out with red eyes.
"If you want to marry the Ye family, you can only be small! You are a top female cultivator who has only produced one in my Nangong family for a thousand years, and countless admired but unobtainable Dusk Snow Fairies......"
"Senior brother, don't say it, don't say it, please don't say it!!"
Nangong Duxue couldn't cry silently, but the grief and sorrow in it was something that Nangong Feiyun had never seen in her.
This old man in the middle of the Yuan Infant hated it in his heart, and this hatred for Nangong Duxue was more for the Ye family, another super family.
It's just that the most difficult thing to say in the world is the word "love".
In the face of it, the reason doesn't make sense, and the interests can't be controlled, so the only way to cut through the chaos is to quickly cut through the mess, create the established facts, and then look at her more closely, and that's it.
That's all the senior brother said. Senior sister, I will agree to you today, and I will go back to the person who proposed the relatives of the Mi family, and said that after the end of this great development, I will immediately choose a good day and an auspicious day, and tie the eternal good of these two families and two surnames. ”
Nangong Duxue's heart was like being cut by a knife, and when she thought of the stunned look that the person in her heart would show after hearing that she was about to marry a bad old man, she felt that life was worse than death.
By the time she temporarily broke free from this despair and sorrow, Nangong Feiyun was gone.
All I heard was the commotion outside.
Nangong Duxue listened to it, but it was the disciples and relatives outside who were all relieved and happy about this family business.
Hearing this, she was furious.
Nangong Duxue is not a person who is willing to sacrifice herself for others, even if she is a member of the family.
The heart that had just been moved by Nangong Feiyun's words instantly became firm.
With a body of gloom and cold, she left the camp alone, identified the direction over the vast expedition camp, and flew alone to the northwest at high speed.
After flying for a long time, I found a deserted corner and lowered my flying sword in a small forest.
In a flash, the figure disappeared between waist-deep thatch.
This disappeared only half a breath, and a person came out of the shadows, and after a closer look, it was the Yuanying surnamed Li named the Mi family.
Yuanying surnamed Li frowned slightly, looking at the direction where Nangong Duxue disappeared, for a while, he slowly floated into the air at a height of 100 meters, and saw from a distance that a sect had set up a continuous camp here!
"Ye family!?"
Yuanying surnamed Li smiled slightly, thinking that he had found Nangong Duxue's sore feet, so he was no longer interested in doing this kind of sneaking peep into people's privacy.
At that moment, he sacrificed the flying sword, changed the direction of the volley, turned into a streamer, and disappeared without a trace.
After he left, Nangong Duxue surfaced from the bottom of a waterhole, looked at the direction where Yuanying surnamed Li had disappeared, and sneered faintly.
Before leaving, she also looked back at the Ye family's tent here, and out of surprise, there was no inseparable affection in her eyes, only deep hatred and unwillingness.
Throwing off the pursuers, Nangong Duxue was even more careful.
For a long time, she circled around a place with a radius of a hundred miles, until nightfall, after she repeatedly confirmed that there was no danger, she used a magic weapon to sneak underground, went straight to a location in the north, and escaped for thousands of miles in a row.
This place is close to the junction of the Thousand Illusion Valley and the Northern Frontier, and the continuous monk battalion commanders have disappeared, replaced by a large number of idle clouds and wild crane-like scattered cultivators scattered among the scattered spiritual veins and caves.
The destination of the trip was a place called "Broken Cloud Stream".
This was originally a small fang market built by scattered cultivators on the border, but later, the form of the border changed drastically, and this fang market became deserted.
However, since the strong rise of Daojun, the official establishment of Taoism and its public activities, countless monks under the command of Daojun have gathered in the buffer zone between the Valley of Thousand Illusions and Northern Xinjiang.
I can't tell the number of them, and I can't accurately count their cultivation and roots, but their appearance is still in such a grim form, giving birth to something that shouldn't be.
For example, this "broken cloud stream"!
The city has reopened, and the presiding officer has been replaced by a third-level priest of the Holy See.
Taboos cause isolation, and isolation creates an unequal gap, and this gap gives rise to huge business opportunities for countless scattered cultivators to hear the news.
Not counting the unique production of the Thousand Illusion Valley, it is now under the control of the Holy See.
Let's just say that these "rebellions" who defected to Taoism, aren't they with all their net worth, and aren't they in a hurry to settle down in the wilderness and are in high demand?
In the eyes of those casual cultivators, these people are all big fat sheep who are so rich.
Driven by interests, the isolation was secretly broken, and then it was not only the scattered cultivators who heard the news that they moved, but also a large number of sects that participated in the great opening up this time and took a share of this piece of fat.
As a result, the Broken Cloud Stream rose to prominence and attracted the attention of the Holy See.
At this time of turmoil, how can such a place be free from one's control?
Therefore, when Nangong Duxue came to this market by appointment, in a trance, she thought that she had entered a prosperous Xiuzhen city.
I saw that on a steep and steep mountain peak, thick clouds and mist were like a white carpet, shrouding the peak all year round.
A large number of strange buildings loom in the clouds.
There is no protective circle in the market, and no one is allowed to enter and exit, so it appears in a grand manner on a route that must be passed through the great development.
Although there was no protective array, Nangong Duxue was still discovered as soon as she arrived.
Coming out of the clouds and mist, he was greeted by an old cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Infant.
There are such characters who have taken refuge in Daojun!?
Nangong Duxue thought she was the first one.
It's just that every Yuan Infant has roots and origins, and it is impossible to pop up out of thin air a Yuan Infant she has never heard of, but the Yuan Infant in front of her with a sad face and like an old peasant in the countryside is something she has never seen or heard of.
The two met, but they silently exchanged the token and didn't say much.
Yuan Ying Lao Xiu took Nangong Duxue into a secret passage of the phantom array, and it didn't take long for the power of the circle to confuse her judgment of direction and distance.
If you want to break this kind of carving insect skill, of course, it is only between the raised hands.
It's just that this trip is not here to show prestige, what kind of Holy See is this, but it has great power to influence her future fate.
"This layman, the entrance ahead is it!"
Yuan Ying Lao Xiu stopped, and in the passage of disillusionment, he said to Nangong Duxue.
Nangong Duxue was wearing a mask at this time, and there were various means to hide her identity, so this person used the title of layman.
Ahead is a real hole, judging from various traces, it should be a newly opened underground passage.
It's just a faint gray-black aura, and there are all kinds of discomfort when you get closer, which makes Nangong Duxue hesitate.
Demonic energy!?
Seeing her hesitate, Lao Xiu had an expression for the first time, glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Is it too late to hesitate now?"
Not bad!
It's late!
There is no turning back!
Nangong Duxue gritted her teeth and slowly walked into the portal.
As soon as you walk in, it's like walking into the water, and there's a very obvious feeling that you can only feel when you cross the barrier.
As soon as it was dark and bright, it was already brightly lit.
The quaint hall is full of inscriptions and badges representing the Daojun, as well as all kinds of runes and carvings that are "tricky and mysterious".
The circular dome has more than a dozen huge columns, which are divided into different areas, and a large number of men and women in the same uniform and white robes are busy.
These are the so-called clergy?
Is this the so-called Holy See?
"The beginning of the Tao - Yuanjun Suzi is supreme, this layman is polite, please show the token!" a mortal woman in white robe appeared in front of her.
Mortal!?
Nangong Duxue was a little uncomfortable.
In front of her, mortals can only see their backs.
For the first time, a mortal stood in front of her, neither humble nor arrogant.
