38. The abrupt end of the master-apprentice love (8)
Time is the most powerful thing, even in the immortal cultivation world that goes against the sky.
Ten years have passed, and the stain stained by the Jiulanmen at the Dao Conference has completely become history at the moment when the double cultivation ceremony of the head Qiu Qianzhang and the protector of the Heavenly Sword Sect is held. After the two major sects of Jiulanmen and Heavenly Sword Sect joined forces, naturally, everyone selectively forgot about the Yuanying Monk of Jiulanmen who was charged with fornicating with demons - Mu Jinhua.
Luoxia Peak changed its owner the day after announcing Mu Jinhua's defection, and against the backdrop of the newly built magnificent palace, the two simple bamboo houses on the top of the mountain and its builders were forgotten together. The Ice Cream Flower that had lost Mu Jinhua's care and the mountains of ice and snow all melted under the spell of the new Peak Lord, and the land that had been moistened by the drifting ice aura was covered with green after casting a high-level rejuvenation effect. At dusk, the whole mountain is dyed with glow, the scenery is very good, this peak finally becomes a no longer there is a trace of Mu Jinhua, the new Luoxia Peak.
――――――――――――
Since Mu Jinhua disappeared, Bai Wuling has become a rootless grass.
On the one hand, because of his outstanding talent, he was accepted as an apprentice by many monks; On the other hand, the double cultivation ceremony of Bai Wuling and Wen Xiangming was also repeatedly mentioned in the high-level meetings of Jiulanmen, and after Bai Wuling lost the powerful protector/protector/umbrella of Mu Jinhua, Qiu Qianzhang's consistent tough attitude towards him was also softened.
Bai Wuling did not raise any objection to all the resolutions of the sect, but after Mu Jinhua confirmed the charge of defection and Luoxia Peak changed hands and was completely opened, he hid in a corner of Luoxia Peak, which was called "retreat", but completely threw away the burdens that were placed on him.
After he disappeared in retreat for almost five years, when he reappeared in the sight of the sect, the childishness unique to the teenager on his body had all disappeared, his body had grown in size, and his delicate face had a lot of calm and mysterious temperament because of the iceberg face that was becoming more and more strict, no one knew what happened to him, the only thing he knew was that in just five years, Bai Wuling had crossed into the Jindan period from the foundation building period.
Due to the growth of strength, the decision that fell on him five years ago automatically lost its value, and he already had the ability to stand on his own, without the need for a master, and at the same time, he also had the qualifications to refuse the marriage contract with the Thousand Yin Sect.
When Bai Wuling walked into the hall belonging to the head of the office, Qiu Qianzhang was not surprised, and there was a spiritual tea on his table as always. After hearing the news that Bai Wuling had reappeared in people's field of vision with the strength of Jin Dan, he had a premonition that this child would appear in front of him sooner or later. This can be regarded as the temperament of the child he watched grow up have many similarities with Mu Jinhua, such as the one who doesn't respect him very much.
……
The end of the conversation was not very pleasant, Qiu Qianzhang stayed in the hall alone, and he was no longer in the mood to calm down and write the invitation. He recalled that Shi Cai saw the kind of eyes he had in the past in Bai Wuling's eyes, the kind of obsession that would probably never appear on him again, Bai Wuling's feelings for Mu Jinhua had crossed the line......
The opportunity to marry Qianyinzong was obviously lost, and Qiu Qianzhang had to put his marriage on the agenda, more than a hundred years had passed since that person left, and he had nothing to be nostalgic about.
Although, he still feels bad about Mu Jinhua's affairs, but he really doesn't have the energy to care about Mu Jinhua anymore, giving up looking for Mu Jinhua, in addition to being afraid of facing the same results as back then, it is also a proof of his decision to give up the past, as for the soul lamp that Bai Wuling took away, it should be regarded as the last trace of affection.
With this marriage, he completely buried the past of Mu Jinhua, whether it was good or bad, from now on, he only lived for the sect.
――――――――――――
After witnessing the tragedy a hundred years ago, Mu Jinhua has always had a clueless premonition that Senior Sister Fuyun will come back, she has fantasized about seeing her senior sister countless times, but she didn't expect it to be such a thing.
When a tall, beautiful man with a somewhat evil spirit appeared in front of her with an equally pretty child, the Jiuqiong Frost Sword in Mu Jinhua's hand did not hold it firmly and landed on the table, and she was a little confused.
With a little hesitation and disbelief, she stretched out her hand to the beautiful child who didn't talk like a word, "Senior sister, why have you become smaller?" She was answered by a faint black fire burning on the ground.
"Stupid woman, I am the greatest demon lord in the world." The voice still has a milky childish tone, and her eyes are full of contempt, Mu Jinhua doesn't know how to answer, this child really looks very similar to the senior sister in her memory.
The burning black fire was quickly extinguished, "You can't recognize me if you haven't seen me for a hundred years?" The man who was selectively ignored by Mu Jinhua stood in front of Mu Jinhua at some point, and his slightly cool fingers pointed at Mu Jinhua's smooth head, but he couldn't have a trace of defense with Mu Jinhua's cultivation in the later stage of the infant.
With wide eyes and looking at the face in front of him that was magnified by being too close, Mu Jinhua didn't find a trace of memory related to him. Forgive her for living for almost five hundred years, and basically she hasn't dealt with demons much, and she has no impression at all about the demon path person in front of her, who is obviously several times higher than her.
Mu Jinhua's eyes were blank, but the man's eyes were a lot colder, "Forget me, but you will be punished." His fingers flexed and flicked Mu Jinhua's head, the force was neither heavy nor light, a little intimate action, but it made Mu Jinhua strangely familiar. However, before she could ask, she fell into an inexplicable sleepiness, weak, and finally shook in front of her eyes was the face of the miniature version of Senior Sister Fuyun that often appeared in her dreams, as if there was an answer that came out immediately.
……
When Mu Jinhua woke up again, she couldn't feel a trace of aura fluctuations around her body, and the aura between heaven and earth seemed to be isolated, lying on the soft mattress, facing a miniature version of the senior sister's face, a small group of milky children, her face was solemn, "What did Shizun like about you?" ”
Mu Jinhua stared at her eyes and did not answer, as an older female monk, it was the first time she had been asked such a question, and she felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably......
After tossing for several days, Mu Jinhua finally knew the name of this little demon lord with the arrogance of the superior, Qiu Yu, a little unexpectedly did not conform to the brutal image of the demon world that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and also confusedly understood part of the truth, and the entire world view was about to collapse...... She has always regarded her as a mother, and Senior Sister Fuyun, who is regarded as her sister, is she a man from beginning to end, or a person in the Demon Dao!?
Thinking about it carefully, in my memory, Fuyun's 'senior sister' was indeed lukewarm to Brother Zhuma Qiu, who loved her, and she was even more kind to her, but Mu Jinhua never figured out the reason why the previous demon lord concealed her identity and stayed in Jiulanmen, and she couldn't figure out the reason why she was now under house arrest in the demon world.
Mu Jinhua always remembered that a hundred years ago, she went out of the mountain with Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Sister Fuyun to do tasks. Passing through the territory of the Bai family, a family of cultivating immortals, at the last pass of the Bai family's ancestor crossing the catastrophe and ascending, Senior Sister Fuyun suddenly went mad, taking advantage of the time when the Bai family's ancestor was entangled by the thunder tribulation and could not be distracted, she highlighted the killing move, and guided the Bai family ancestor to fail to cross the catastrophe, and was wiped out by the last thunder, and then the Bai family was almost wiped out. On that day, the entire Bai family mansion was burned in a deep black fire, and Fu Yun also disappeared in that fire.
The last trace of thought left by the ancestor of the Bai family was transmitted to Mu Jinhua, but he only entrusted her to help the Bai family, even though the words clearly revealed that he knew the clues of Senior Sister Fuyun's demonization.
……
Mu Jinhua was placed under house arrest in disguise in this area where spiritual energy is scarce and demonic energy prevailed for nearly ten years, and because she was worried about the invasion of demonic energy, she was completely unable to practice. Even if she has thought of several ways to escape, Fu Yun knows her too well, and every means will be recognized.
The past ten years were just a moment of retreat, but this time it seemed extremely long for Mu Jinhua, she still remembered that the last transmission she gave to Wuling that had not yet received a response had disappeared for ten years, and she wondered if Wuling would think that she, the master, had slacked him again.
――――――――――――
Since he fell unconscious in the cold spring, there was one more thing in Bai Wuling's sea of consciousness, which was the only treasure left by the Bai family's immortal predecessors - the fire spirit.
Most of the people who enter the immortal path of the Bai family are fire spirit roots, during which there will be at least one genius type person who has both pure yang physique and pure fire spirit root in each generation, which is the continuation of the blood of the Bai family, the fire spirit is a spiritual creature bred by the most precious fire in heaven and earth, and it will automatically recognize the master, and the affinity of the fire spirit root monk who gets the fire spirit will be raised to a terrifying realm, and it is rumored that to get the fire spirit is to get the power to burn all things.
The fire spirit of the Bai family, as an heirloom, has caused a lot of disasters for the Bai family, and the fall of the Bai family is also caused by this, at the moment of accepting the fire spirit, the remnant soul of the ancestor of the Bai family who fell attached to the fire spirit brought a dream to Bai Wuling, and he saw the figure of Mu Jinhua in the Bai family mansion burning in a faint black fire.
The dream was broken, and he saw Mu Jinhua in reality, as if he was smiling at him gently, but he saw Mu Jinhua in a trance who was standing calmly on the periphery of the fire in the dream, and she didn't explain anything, as if she decided that he shouldn't know anything.
He wanted to know the reason why the fire spirit was sealed in the cold spring, and he wanted to know the real reason why Mu Jinhua took him in......
It's just that now, Bai Wuling clenched the small soul lamp in his hand, this soul lamp with the breath of Mu Jinhua, it is the only hope to find Mu Jinhua now, and it is also the belief that supports him to find Mu Jinhua. In this smoky valley, the soul lamp has shone a lot, and the corners of Bai Wuling's mouth unconsciously pulled out an arc, although there are still many uncertain things, but seeing Mu Jinhua is the only certainty he has now.
