Chapter 9 Rain Falls on Qinglian (Second Update, Newcomers Ask for Recommendations!) )
Facing the eyes of the elders at the end of the lotus pond, Li Qiuyan walked past the ten thousand lotus flowers and came to the statue of the patriarch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The face of the info bronze statue is a little blurred, and it can be vaguely seen that it is an ancient Taoist, and under the bronze statue, there is also a blooming lotus flower standing gracefully, arrogant but not lonely. There was a quaint incense burner on the offering table, a few futons on the ground, and the Guan Lord, Qiu Yan's father, and several elders in the temple were standing aside.
"Lord, Father." After nodding his head, Li Qiuyan stood in front of the bronze statue, lowered his head with his hands behind his back, and stopped talking.
Her father's face changed slightly, and he looked at the Qinglian Guan Guan Lord beside him, but the Guan Guan Lord looked ahead like a wandering world, and his hands were firmly behind his back.
After a period of silence, Qiu Yan's father's face finally sank, and he walked up to his daughter and said, "Kneel." ”
It didn't seem to be unexpected that Li Qiuyan simply knelt on a futon, without dragging the mud and water.
"Why did you divulge secrets to him?" Li Qiuyan's father's face sank like water.
"Dad, what kind of secrets are you talking about, I don't know." Li Qiuyan pretended to be indifferent and said, although it was a prepared statement, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was so hoarse that she was even afraid.
"Pretend to be stupid!" With a broken drink, a flash of lightning lit up in Qiu Yan's father's hand, which was like a leather whip on Li Qiuyan's young back, and the sound of burnt skin and flesh sounded, but the girl didn't even snort, just bit her lower lip.
The spells of the Shenzhou Daomen can also be regarded as a kind of generalized magic, but the basis for exercising the spells is different. However, the local Daomen often dismiss the term magic, and they still call their spells Taoism with some kind of pride.
"A ritual to summon a universal wishing machine, of course! He is the key to this ceremony, and if he does run away, how are you going to take this responsibility! As soon as the words came out, Father Li realized that he had lost his words and quickly changed the topic.
"It would be the greatest insult to us to let a group of outsiders who learn Western magic hold such a grand ceremony on our own land! And you, as my Qinglian Guan magic specialty, should go all out to win the final victory of this war, instead of being mistaken by boring personal feelings! Li Qiuyan's father said excitedly, and the surrounding elders couldn't help but nod their heads.
"Universal Wishing Machine...... It's not certain whether that thing really exists, H trickery salon said that there was going to be a ceremony, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two, who knows if they were talking big. Besides, Brother Big Paddle is a nonsensical character, even if I say it, he may not care. Li Qiuyan raised his head and said, his pink lips were bloody.
"Still quibbling! You've never done anything so foolish in the past few years, so why make an exception for him? It's just a child of a broken family, even if it's a childhood friend, compared to the great cause of the revival of my Daomen, it's nothing! Father Li looked dissatisfied.
"A child of the Broken Family?" A sneer appeared on Li Qiuyan's face, she raised her head, looked at the elders in front of her, and asked, "If it's just a child of an ordinary broken family, why are you so nervous?" If he doesn't matter, why do you spy on him secretly through my eyes? You just said that he was the key to this ceremony, why didn't you mention it to me before? I've known him for more than ten years, and I can tell that he doesn't know anything about this ritual, so you can answer me what this Holy Grail War has to do with him! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them changed color.
Father Li's face also sank, and he said, "That has nothing to do with you!" However, looking at Qiu Yan's serious eyes, he still slowed down his tone and said, "Qiu Yan, you have always been a sane child, otherwise the duties of my Qinglian Guan Magic Special would not fall on you." You know what you have to do and when, and it's the same this time. The people of the Western magic world actually want to hold a ceremony on the land of our Shenzhou, which is a naked provocation for our native Daomen! If we can defeat everyone in this ceremony, our Qinglian Temple can restore the Dao system and regain its glory! Father knows that this is also a lot of pressure for you, but if it wasn't for your brother's accident, this matter would not have been taken over by you. Speaking of this, Father Li deliberately accentuated his tone and looked at Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan's eyes couldn't help but darken, but her father's deliberate mention of her brother also made her feel bored for a while.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind the statue of the patriarch, and two young Taoist priests walked in slowly carrying a stretcher.
Li Qiuyan's fair face suddenly swelled with blood, and she stood up abruptly and ran towards the person with heavy bandages on the stretcher. She wanted to shout loudly, but she was choked by something, and finally she could only say with red eyes and trembling voices:
"Brother!"
The scarred man on the stretcher barely raised his eyelids, squeezed out an ugly smile, and did not make a sound.
Li Qiuyan desperately suppressed the sadness in her heart, turned her head and looked coldly at the man she called her father and said, "His injury hasn't healed yet, so you're in such a hurry to let him out?" ”
Father Li couldn't help but be a little at a loss, and turned his head to look at the master. The figure that had been fugue seemed to have finally returned to the human world, and slowly turned around.
The viewer has an old and clear face, and there is no sadness or joy in the face of Qiuyan's cold eyes. "Your brother and sister have always had a good relationship, you went on a mission together, and he almost died trying to cover you. Now that he is out of danger, you should also remember him, so I ordered someone to send him to see you, which can be regarded as reassuring you. The voice of the Spectator was calm and unwavering, and there was neither cunning nor justification.
Li Qiuyan's silver teeth were clenched, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire, but he heard the hoarse voice of the man on the stretcher behind him: "Qiuyan ......"
She leaned back and knelt down on one knee to look at her brother, who had become this for herself. The eldest brother of the Li family struggled to hold his sister's left hand in his hands, his eyes were full of apologies, but he couldn't say a word.
Finally, Li Qiuyan held his brother's hand, shook his head, and nodded again. She stood up, looked at the Lord, and said, "Thank you for your kindness. My brother's accident was because of me, so I had to do it, and I have sworn in front of my ancestor that I will definitely fulfill your wishes. I just want to know what the hell he's ...... in this big oar."
"Alright." Guan Zhu walked over, he bent down, and a broad and powerful hand pressed against Qiu Yan's shoulder like a mountain, interrupting her words. "Qiuyan, the big thing is near, and there is no room for mistakes. This is the secret place of the Buddha's view, and the lotus flowers are planted all over the pond, which helps to purify the heart, and the statue of the patriarch is also infinitely useful. Before the ceremony begins, you will adjust your state here and meditate with peace of mind, and your brother is also my chosen successor, so naturally you will not treat him badly. You also have someone to take care of your diet and daily life, so you don't have to worry. ”
After that, without looking at Qiu Yan again, the Guan Master took the lead in walking towards the secret passage, and the others followed closely behind. Father Li looked at his unconscious daughter, and finally couldn't say anything, so he quickly chased after him. Two young men in Taoist costumes also lifted the stretcher and followed closely behind. The brother on the stretcher seemed to be struggling to compare something, but he didn't have time to do it.
With his back to Qiu Yan, the viewer left a sentence:
"The next time we come back, it's time for the ceremony to begin, and you need to be ready."
Qiu Yan watched them leave in a daze, and finally showed a helpless smile.
This is the so-called magic family, walking on the path of magic wholeheartedly, and the feelings of being a human have long been erased. She didn't know what kind of pain the man she called her father and the place she called home. What is even more tragic is that he is unable to generate the idea of true rebellion.
She spread out her hand, and there were traces of her brother's secret scratches in her palms. Even on the verge of life and death, that person still did not forget to mark in her hand, which was the word "go".
"Brother, even if you're okay, where can I go?"
Looking at the lotus flowers in the hall, Li Qiuyan suddenly felt that he was just like them, imprisoned by ancient magic in the space of the world, and was forever forced to show his best side.
She was still kneeling on the futon, but her mind flew somewhere.
Brother Da Pao is by no means a child of a broken family. The Lord and the Father know it, but they think they don't.
But what exactly does this big event have to do with him, they must know, but they don't know.
Could it be that he really guessed it...... Big paddle brother, let's go.
