48. The past
Putting aside those strange ideas, Gu Ziyan told the people present what he knew about the Black Heaven Sect's plan.
After listening to this, Mo Yong was silent for a moment, and said, "This matter has been found here, even if you have completed the experience. After the follow-up matters return to the Taihua Immortal Sect, someone will deal with them. ”
"Uncle Mo, does that mean we can go back now?" Yin Li asked.
"Yes." Mo Yi nodded, and his eyes fell on the four disciples who were trapped in the ice prison by him, "They mistakenly ingested poison and were controlled by others, and I am not good at this, if you want to save them, you must go back to Elder Xuangu to have a chance to turn around." ”
Hearing Mo Yong say this, Luo Nianjin seemed to be very worried: "Is the poison in them very strict?" Even Elder Xuangu may not be able to cure it? ”
"The Black Heaven Sect has been in business for decades, and no one dares to guarantee that it can be cured after using so many living people to test the medicine." Baizhu shook his head, "That's it, you take these four people back to Taihua Immortal Sect first, and I will wait for Su Qiong to come back in Su Mansion, and by the way, pay attention to the movements of the Black Heaven Sect." ”
Gu Ziyan nodded, and also agreed with Baizhu's idea: "Then be careful yourself, don't let the Black Heaven Sect find out." ”
"Their saint is dead, and it will definitely be messed up for a while, how can I be found so quickly. Besides, I stayed in Biluo City, there was no shortage of cultivators in the city, and no matter how arrogant the Black Heaven Sect was, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. Baizhu shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed.
After a few people discussed, Mo Ji summoned Luan Niao, who had been waiting outside the city, locked the four people in the ice prison with a spell, and put them on one of the Luan cars, while the rest of the people shared another Luan car, and the group left Biluo City at night. It just so happened that because it was night, the appearance of the Luanche in Biluo City did not attract too much attention, and the whole process seemed very smooth.
When I returned to Taihua Immortal Sect, the sky had just dawned.
As soon as he came back, Mo Yong went to Longshou Peak to find Xuanxu Zhenren to explain the ins and outs of the Black Heaven Sect, while Gu Ziyan and the others helped send the four people who had been accused to Bailong Peak and ask Elder Xuangu for diagnosis and treatment. After some tossing, everyone felt quite tired, so they all went back to their respective homes to rest.
After Gu Ziyan dragged his steps back to Qianhan Peak, he threw himself back on his bed. This trip down the mountain was simply full of twists and turns, originally thought to be two simple tasks, but one involved the Yin World that could not be fought against by manpower, and the other made people feel depressed in their hearts - what the group of beasts of the Black Heaven Sect did was simply too frustrating, so when Gu Ziyan searched for the soul of the saint at that time, he did not hesitate at all.
Even if her soul dissipates because of this, she deserves it.
Burying his face in the quilt, Gu Ziyan was gradually wrapped in a familiar feeling, and the whole person became lazy and didn't want to move. After staying up all night, he soon fell asleep quietly in this peaceful environment.
This sleep was a little unstable, and his dreams always appeared one after another what he saw and heard in the netherworld, and those who only existed in myths made this dream extraordinarily nihilistic. Gu Ziyan didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he heard a few words of conversation in a trance and barely opened his eyes, it was already dark outside.
The dialogue was worn out from the next room, and there were only two people on Qianhan Peak, plus the Qingyuan Patriarch who occasionally came to visit the door, it was impossible for anyone else.
"It's not for the teacher to urge you, but it's dangerous for you to continue like this." After Patriarch Qingyuan finished saying this, a short sound sounded immediately afterward, it should be playing chess again, "Everything in the world has a rule, especially the way of heaven." Isn't it against the way of heaven that you are suppressing the aura in your body like this? ”
There was another short sound, and it should be that Mo Yi also fell: "If you want to talk about a trip against the sky, Master, wouldn't it be even worse if you returned to the lower realm after you ascended?" ”
“…… Hey, my situation is different from yours, how can I generalize. Patriarch Qingyuan let out a long sigh.
"It's no different, it's just selfishness. It's just that I regret it after Master ascended, and I don't want to follow in my footsteps. Mo Yong's answer was very indifferent and decisive. Taking advantage of the time when Patriarch Qingyuan was thoughtful, Mo Yong made another move: "Master, you lost this time." ”
"You...... It's so stubborn. Patriarch Qingyuan glanced at the chessboard, and his tone was very helpless, "If you insist on this, what if there is an accident?" Heaven is impermanent, and even if I have already ascended once, I can't predict what will happen. ”
"I just believe in what I can control." Mo Ji said.
Patriarch Qingyuan frowned: "Then what if you can't?" ”
"I can."
"Forget it, you won't listen to my old guy anyway, I just hope you won't regret it then." Patriarch Qingyuan rarely got angry, but this time he seemed to be really angry. The endgame on the chessboard was disrupted, and when he walked away, many of the black and white pieces fell to the ground.
Mo Ji stared at the scattered chess pieces, and there was no love in his cold eyes.
Gu Ziyan casually put on his coat and hurried to the next door, but when he really stood at the door, he began to hesitate to go in. The conversation between Patriarch Qingyuan and Mo Yong was very vague, but Gu Ziyan could vaguely guess something. This is also due to a plot mentioned in the original book of "Nine Heavens" - there was once a monk with excellent talents, after he survived the Heavenly Tribulation, it only took a few decades to absorb enough spiritual energy, and he was immediately reborn and ascended to the upper realm. However, he was reluctant to leave for some reasons, so he forcibly suppressed the process of absorbing spiritual energy in the realm of tribulation, and even used some methods to deliberately deplete his spiritual power in order to achieve the purpose of delaying the ascension time.
But in the dark, the Heavenly Dao has long been doomed, and this monk's deliberate delay in the time of ascension is no different from going against the sky. So one day later, the entire Nine Heavens Continent witnessed an unprecedented Heavenly Tribulation, which had never been recorded before, because it was not a test for cultivators like ordinary Heavenly Tribulations, but closer to a punishment. After the catastrophe, not only the monk was wiped out, but also within a radius of a hundred miles, all of them were turned into ashes, and nothing was spared.
According to the story line in "Nine Heavens", this incident should have happened more than a hundred years later, so now no one in the entire Nine Heavens Continent knows the consequences, and even Patriarch Qingyuan only guesses that such a trip against the heavens may lead to disaster.
Judging from the conversation between the two, Mo Yong's current behavior is the same as that of the monk in the book.
Ashes...... Gu Ziyan's mind was full of the description in "Nine Days" at this time, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen if Mo Yong also went to that step. Thinking like this, his voice unconsciously trembled a little when he spoke again: "Master......"
Unexpectedly, Mo Yong actually realized that there was someone standing at the door after he called him. He looked up at Gu Ziyan, only to see that Gu Ziyan's lips trembled a little, and he was a little at a loss for a while: "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Ziyan opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say, and his body walked in front of Mo Yong one step ahead of him. Although his cultivation is not high now, but with the assistance of the system, he can still clearly see that the aura absorbed by the Mo Convergence Tribulation Period has been almost ninety percent, and the remaining little gap is deliberately suppressed, and it has never been able to complete up and down.
Mo Yong looked down at him slightly, and the jumping lights reflected an unusually soft outline.
Gu Ziyan looked at the face he had been with for seven years, and then thought about the consequences of going against the sky, and for a while, a lot of sourness came to his heart. No matter what Mo Yong's reason was, Gu Ziyan didn't want him to get to that point.
"Master, are you ...... Going up? After being entangled for a long time, Gu Ziyan, who usually complains about people and is articulate, can only say such very straightforward words at this time. The so-called concern is chaos, which probably refers to this situation.
Mo Yong was stunned for a moment: "Did you hear that I talked to your ancestor?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Ziyan nodded, "Master, I think what Master Ancestor said is right. We have been practicing for hundreds of years in order to attain ascension, so why do you deliberately suppress the aura when you are about to succeed? ”
Mo Yong looked at Gu Ziyan deeply, as if he wanted to engrave his whole person into his eyes: "Ziyan, are you willing to listen to me tell a story?" ”
Gu Ziyan was puzzled, but still nodded.
"Once upon a time, there was an Immortal Dao monk, he was very powerful, and the people of the Nine Heavens Continent regarded him as a legendary figure. He has a lover, and the two are in love, and there are many good stories. This monk's qualifications are very good, and it only took a few decades for him to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and he absorbed enough spiritual energy during the Tribulation Period, and he was soon reborn and ascended to immortality.
Before he ascended, he made a promise with his lover that he would wait for him in the heavenly realm. However, after the monk became an immortal, he was cut off from the Nether Realm, and he could not know the situation of the person he loved. It was a long way off, until a long time later, he could no longer bear to wait without news, so he approached Emperor Tianshu, hoping to see the situation of the person he liked.
However, he didn't expect that what he saw from the Heavenly Shu Emperor's mortal mirror was only a barren land. He was very surprised, so he asked Emperor Tianshu why this was, if it was a business trip with the mortal mirror. However, Emperor Tianshu told him that it was not the mortal mirror that was on a business trip, and his lover was indeed in the mirror, but it was just that he had turned into a wasteland.
Later, the monk learned that after he ascended, his lover was never able to break through the realm, let alone ascend to the upper realm. Over time, his lover became more and more uneasy, and finally he was tempted by others and began to practice a set of evil exercises. This set of exercises did help his lover break through the bottleneck at first, but it was also because of this set of exercises that his lover also began to become eccentric and violent, committing countless murders, and becoming an evil demon in the mouth of the world.
Later, his lover finally rebelled because of the evil Dao exercises, and before he could wait for the heavenly tribulation, he had already died. And after his lover's death, because his reputation was very bad, no one helped to collect the body, so he could only be in a desolate place, slowly turning into a handful of wasteland.
After hearing this, the monk felt regretful, so he asked the Emperor of Heaven to get rid of the immortal realm, voluntarily return to the lower realm, and wait for his lover to be reincarnated again. ”
After listening to this, Gu Ziyan asked hesitantly, "This monk ...... Is it Shizu? ”
"Hmm." Mo Yong didn't intend to hide anything, he suddenly reached out and touched the back of Gu Ziyan's neck, "If you look now, you will find that there is a scar on the back of your ancestor's neck." The scar that could not be erased was proof that he had been stripped of his immortal bones. ”
Obviously, Mo Ji's hand was very light, but Gu Ziyan felt a tingling pain coming from the back of his neck.
Deboning, it hurts just to think about it.
"I don't want to be like Master." Mo Yong's hand was slightly forced, and he pulled Gu Ziyan in front of him, "I can't spy on the heavenly machine, so I don't know what you will encounter in the future." So I'd rather stay than wait until everything is irretrievable. ”
