Chapter 022: Dianrui
Jiang Ying really couldn't say anything. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was a huge frangipani tree much thicker than the others, and she could barely see the scorched branch at the top of the tree.
Yes, burnt. She couldn't feel any life from the frangipani tree, which had apparently been dead for a long time.
She stepped forward slowly, reaching out and touching the charred bark. Under the tentacles, the touch was very rough, but for some reason, she wanted to hug the frangipani tree very much, wanted to put her face on the tree, and wanted to hear if the dead tree would say something to her.
She felt the scent of the tree ...... Very sad, as if haunting the sadness of countless attachments.
"Stepmother...... It used to be the natal spiritual plant of the stepfather. ”
The whirlpool behind him spoke, and his voice was extremely soft and shallow, as if he was afraid of disturbing the frangipani tree in front of him.
Jiang Ying knelt down and closed her eyes.
"When the righteous father was crossing the tribulation, the ninth thunder tribulation could not be stopped, and the consequence of being unstoppable was that the god was destroyed. At that time, the stepmother had already passed the Tribulation of Forty-Nine Transformation and the Tribulation of Sixty-Nine Forging Bones, and she was a big demon who was only one step away from the Tribulation of Ninety-Nine God Refining, as long as she survived the Tribulation of God Refining, she could become a demon immortal.
The Natal Spirit Plant that has been transformed cannot participate in the master's Heavenly Tribulation, and if you forcibly participate, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will increase exponentially according to the participants' cultivation.
But the stepmother went anyway. ”
Xuan Fu didn't continue, in fact, there was no need for him to continue.
For plants, thunder is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing. Even if Shi Niang is a big demon who is only one step away from the demon immortal, she can't completely resist the thunder tribulation of the cultivator.
Not to mention the multiplication of thunderstorms.
Jiang Ying closed her eyes and gently pressed her cheek against the dead frangipani tree. The wind carried the rich fragrance of frangipani flowers in her ears, as if a pair of gentle hands were caressing her head.
In a trance, it seemed that my eyes were shrouded in a thick mist, and I couldn't really see anything. A figure approached through the mist.
Jiang Ying couldn't see the person's face clearly, but she could sense that it must be a dusty and gentle face. Wearing a plain white long skirt, wearing a goose yellow plain gauze short coat, and only a round bun was simply tied on his head, like a waterfall green silk so casually draped behind his back. The man stood slowly in front of her, staring at her without speaking.
"Master, ......?"
She muttered, and the man bent down, smiled softly at her, and nodded again.
"Master, my name is Jiang Ying, I am Master's new apprentice, I ......" She didn't expect to see Master Niang at all, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Are you okay and why am I ......"
The woman stretched out a jade finger and waved it gently, and pressed it on Jiang Ying's lips again, Jiang Ying had to shut up obediently. She tilted her head to look at Jiang Ying's left arm, Jiang Ying instantly understood the woman's intentions, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed the yellow heart and white flower on her forearm.
I saw her stretch out her hand and point a little in the middle of Jiang Ying's flower mark, and the originally empty flower center slowly emerged with distinct goose-yellow stamens.
"Master...... " Jiang Ying only felt that the figure in front of her was getting lighter and fainter, and couldn't help but call out again. The woman still didn't answer, just shook her head, reached out and touched Jiang Ying's little face and smiled, and then disappeared into the wind.
"Have you seen your stepmother?" Slowly opening her eyes, Jiang Ying only felt empty in her heart. The sleeves are still on, and the stamens on the dotted flowers are still clearly visible, proving that this is not a dream. There was a call in her ears, and she raised her head blankly, and what caught her eye was Xuanfu's face.
"Master, she...... Still alive? ”
"The stepmother has indeed gone immortal." Xuan Fu shook his head. "This was just the last bit of consciousness she had left in her body. On the day I became a Dan, my stepfather also brought me to see her once, and that was the last time I saw her. ”
"Senior brother, what is the name of the senior sister?" Jiang Ying got up and walked a few steps away.
"The body of the stepmother is the Yuyan Frangipani tree, and the stepfather named her Yan Frangipani."
"Apprentice Jiang Ying has seen Frangipani." She straightened her waist and knelt down, kowtowing to the dead frangipani tree.
Another breeze blew. Jiang Ying raised her head and saw a complete frangipani flower being blown in front of her. Holding the frangipani flower precisely, Jiang Ying grinned. "Thank you, Master."
Holding the frangipani, he stood up and said in a whirlwind. "Now that you've met your stepmother, let's go back." He looked up at the already dim skylight. "It's going to take a long time to go back, and I'm afraid it'll be too late if we delay it any longer."
"Then let's go back." Jiang Ying nodded, then turned back and smiled at the frangipani tree. "Master, let's go."
Although she didn't get another response, Jiang Ying was still satisfied and followed Xuan Fu to the outside of the valley.
On the way back with her ass after Xuanfu, she rolled up her sleeves and looked at the frangipani flowers on her arm that had been lit by the teacher's mother, and suddenly remembered something, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed the corner of Xuanfu's clothes and dragged it.
"What?" Xuanfu was a little surprised.
"Well, I came back in a hurry, and Master hasn't told me his name yet." She pursed her lips and looked at Xuanfu. "Can you tell me?"
"Why not?" Xuanfu glanced at her. "The names of the father-in-law and the mother-in-law are taken from each other. You already know the name of the stepmother, the father-in-law's surname is Ji, and the single name is light. But you'd better not call him by his old man's name, he doesn't like it very much after his mother goes away. ”
Jiang Ying nodded to show that she understood, and Xuan Fu didn't say more, only led her back.
And so it was.
Jiang Ying looked at the frangipani on her arm. She looked all the way, and finally remembered why this flower was familiar. In the original world, she had also seen frangipani, which had a very playful common name, called frangipani. Master doesn't want people to call him by name, presumably because he doesn't like to have people who don't know what to say and just use it as a homonym for fun, and secondly, he doesn't want to often think of the name that the master chose for him, which is sad.
Master is actually a very affectionate person, otherwise why would he plant so many frangipani trees that bloom and are undefeated by the side of Shi Niang to accompany Shi Niang.
On the way here, I didn't feel how tired I was when I carried it on my back, and I didn't know how tired I was when I walked on the way back. Although Xuanfu had slowed down as much as possible so that she could keep up, she still felt that her legs were no longer her own.
"Go in, your father-in-law should already be waiting for you inside." Sent her to the door of the Danfang, and Xuan Fu did not come forward again. "If you call me after my father-in-law comes back, I'll be next door to you."
"Good. Senior brother, go back and rest. Jiang Ying blinked. It's hard for you to take me around this circle today. ”
"I'm nothing, you go in quickly, don't let your father-in-law wait for you." Urged again, Jiang Ying was no longer polite, turned around and knocked on the door and pushed the door in.
The room is not big and there are no special furnishings. There were two futons in the center, and Ji Dan was already sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on one of them.
"See her?" Before she could say hello, Ji Dan opened his eyes and glanced at her first.
"Hey, Master, how do you know that I met Master." Jiang Ying was curious, she didn't expose the frangipani flowers that had been ordered by her sister outside?
"I recognize the smell of frangipani, burned to ashes." He snorted softly. "Why don't you sit down quickly, don't you want to learn the method of inducing qi into the body?"
