Chapter 68: Determination
A remote town with few people, it is exceptionally quiet after dark.
On the edge of the stream not far from the town, Xue Yuan was sitting under a tree looking up at the moon above, stunned.
When she came back to her senses when she heard the footsteps, she turned her head and saw Xiao Luo slowly walking towards her.
Xiao Luo didn't have anything, walked to Xue Yu and sat down, and also raised his head to look up.
Xue Yun endured it for a while, but he still couldn't help but ask first:
"Xiao Luo, you ......"
"How?"
"You...... It can't be that you didn't have time during the day and came out at night to give me a lecture, right?"
Xiao Luo sneered: "I'm so angry in your eyes?"
“...... Oh, yes. ”
Xiao Luo turned around, raised his hand and knocked on Xue Yuan's head with his knuckles: "Do you really dare to 'yes'?"
Xiao Luo knocked on this blow to control the force, it didn't hurt, Xue Yun blinked his eyes and lowered his head slightly:
“...... Makes you worried. ”
Xiao Luo looked at Xue Yuan, reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, and sighed softly: "I didn't see you when I arrived in this town, and I estimated the distance and waited for a few days...... I guessed what you were going to do. ”
“...... Don't blame me?"
"You're doing the right thing, and that's what makes it better. Xiao Luo sighed and rubbed Xue Yuan's hair again: "My Xuan'er has grown a lot. ”
Xue Yun was silent for a while, then slowly leaned over and leaned on Xiao Luo's shoulder.
"Xiao Luo. ”
"Huh?"
"I went to Naozhou during this time, in fact...... There are many gains. ”
"Hmm. Xiao Luo replied softly, and supported Xue Yun with one hand behind her to make her lean more comfortably.
“...... I really found Shangguan Miao's traces. ”
Xiao Luo's eyebrows moved, and he was somewhat surprised: "Shangguan Miao?
"No, it's just ...... Find out where it might be. ”
Xiao Luo pursed her lips: "Now that you see that Li Yanning is fine, do you want to leave?"
Xue Yun was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, if there is no Ling Xia...... She will indeed go to Miaozhou to find Shangguan Miao after seeing Li Yanning.
Although it was for Li Yanning's business to go to Nanzhou to find Shangguan Miao, no matter what, Li Yanning's matter is temporarily over, but ......
This thing, since it began, she wants to finish it.
Especially, taking advantage of this moment when the Li family is most angry and resentful.
Yuan Che must not let go.
Whether there is anything about Li Yanning or not.
Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, and before she could explain, Xiao Luo's hand behind her back put it on her shoulder and shook it gently: "Su Run and Zhou Yan will leave for Qiaozhou early tomorrow morning, they have been delayed for a long time, and Li Yanran can't get out of Cangzhou for a while." But Li Yanning has injuries on her body, and she needs to hide and recuperate, and there is no one else except you and me. If someone is going to leave, it's better for me to take this trip, and you stay and take care of her. ”
Xue Yun smiled and shook his head, still leaning on Xiao Luo's shoulder when his brows were furrowed, and raised his head slightly to look over: "I won't leave, don't worry." In Miaozhou, where Shangguan Miao may be, someone has already helped me take a look. ”
Although Yuanzhou is barren and few people, there are no traces of cultivators in this town, and the riverside where the two of them are located at the moment is also remote and uninhabited, but when he started to Xue Yuan's trip to Nayan Prefecture, Xiao Luo still quickly formed a layer of enchantment very easily and covertly, and set up a warning formation.
It was also at this time that Xue Yun also had an intuitive feeling that Xiao Luo had also been promoted to Jindan. When doing this, Xiao Luo sat beside her, leaning on her shoulder, only moving her fingers, silently, Xue Yun almost didn't even notice the change.
Or, if Xue Yuan was just an ordinary Jindan monk, he should be undetectable.
Xiao Luo not only cultivated to improve, but also improved his skills along the way.
It's just that she has a magical origin from Jiujing, and her perception is extremely keen.
"Someone to help you?" Xiao Luo frowned, thought for a while and continued: "Tell you that Shangguan Miao is in Miaozhou?"
Xue Yun couldn't help but laugh "poof": "You can guess anything, it's too shocking." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Luo hooked the corners of her mouth, leaned over and rubbed her forehead with her chin: "Aren't they all forced out by you?"
Xue Yun pouted: "What's the matter with me." ”
Xiao Luo sighed: "Bad girl......"
Xue Yun coughed lightly twice, and pulled the topic back again: "The one who helped me go to Miaozhou to find Shangguan Miao was a disciple of the Yin Sect I met in Naia, named Ling Xia. She has seen Shangguan Miao and has some friendship. ”
“...... What ......about the Yin Sect and the children of the Sect? Did you meet Shangguan Miao?
Sure enough, Xiao Luo had similar questions as Xue Yun at the beginning.
The Great Gate Sect usually does not accept people with spiritual root problems into the sect, and cultivators who do not have spiritual root problems do not need to minor in the Qingyun Technique, so naturally they do not need the Qingyun Pill. It has nothing to do with Qingyun Jue and Qingyun Dan, so how can it have a relationship with the people of the Shangguan family? Zhou Yan and Shangguan Miao knew each other at the beginning, but they couldn't have a friendship, this was still on the premise of saving his life, and Shangguan Miao only told Zhou Yan some truth before secretly leaving.
Xue Yun sighed and told Xiao Luo everything she had told Xiao Luo about the fact that she had found Ling Xia in Huocheng in exchange for Qingyun Dan because of the same doubts, and then learned about Fang Ye, whose cultivation had been destroyed, and the process of these two getting to know Shangguan Miao.
Although Xue Yun didn't go into detail, Xiao Luo still keenly heard some clues from it.
Xue Yun felt Xiao Luo's palm on his shoulder tighten, and then he heard his low voice ringing in his ear:
"What's so special about these two people? It has something to do with the fact that you couldn't get in touch with you in Nayan Prefecture before?"
Xue Yun nodded simply, originally to tell him.
If there is anyone in this world that Xue Yuan trusts and reassures the most, it must be Xiao Luo.
Just as Fang Ye never hid anything from Ling Xia about Jiujing, Xue Yun never intended to hide it from Xiao Luo.
"When I met Fang Ye, I knew where the power of Qishan Hui in my body came from, and I also knew that on the Kyushu Continent, there were not just four but nine families that had been circulating for a long time, and they also welcomed... Nine wells. ”
“...... Kujing?"
Xiao Luo twisted his eyebrows and muttered softly, always feeling that the name seemed to ...... Some are familiar, but when you think about it, there is really no trace.
Xue Yuan, who also had something in his heart when he mentioned Jiujing, didn't notice Xiao Luo's abnormality, although he was still leaning on Xiao Luo's shoulder, he looked at the river in front of him with wide eyes, and slowly told Xiao Luo everything about Jiujing in Kyushu and the family that had guarded Jiujing for generations.
It also added some guesses in her heart after going to the secret place of Jiujing in Naught Prefecture guarded by Fang Ye's Fang family.
For example, Qishan Hui.
"Xiao Luo, I ...... in my heart It's very unrealistic. Xue Yu let out a long breath after finishing, but his eyebrows tightened more and more: "Why did the Fang family suddenly have only one Fang Ye left, I didn't ask, but Qishan replied...... Su Zhen's Blood Sacrifice Soul Formation was deceived by him, what was the purpose of the person who deceived him? You mentioned to me, Qishan Hui Zeng, if one day, Kyushu overturns, and then condemn him. At that time, although we couldn't figure it out, we guessed that it might have something to do with 7,000 years ago, and now ...... Now it's confirmed. Qishan Hui can recognize the origin at a glance, and it is very likely that it is the heir of a certain family who has guarded Jiujing for generations, and he traded with others, which may cause the overturning of Kyushu, I think...... It's the nine wells that the Qishanhui family has guarded for generations!"
Indeed, in this way, it is all connected.
Jiujing is related to the survival of the world, and the power of the origin comes from Jiujing, and only the family lineage who has guarded Jiujing for generations knows the secrets of Jiujing, the location of Jiujing and the method of entering the secret land of Jiujing. Seven thousand years ago, there was a change in the nine wells, the Kyushu catastrophe, and the impact is far-reaching.
Xiao Luo felt the corners of his forehead jump to the ground, and there was a slight dull pain:
"Kyushu...... Kujing ...... Someone wants to take advantage of it and even ...... Sabotage the Kujing ......"
"I thought so too. It's just that for now, it seems to be okay for the time being. I entered the secret place of Jiujing in Naughty, Jiujing has its own spirituality, although some ...... I feel weak, but I can faintly feel that the nine nine wells on the Kyushu Continent are now complete, and there is no omission of being destroyed, because ...... The time has not yet come. ”
"Timing?"
"A little bit of feeling, not clear enough. I only vaguely know, it seems...... Many, many years of reincarnation, the nine nine wells on the Kyushu continent are connected to each other, and the lifeblood is one, which is the most powerful but also the most vulnerable. Now, the time has not yet come, but alas...... Maybe it's because I'm not the Fang family bloodline that should protect Jiujing in Nayan Prefecture after all, maybe it's because Jiujing hasn't fully awakened now and has limited strength, so that everything I can know is vague and undistinguishable, and I don't know how long that time will be and when it will come. ”
Xiao Luo couldn't help but raise his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead.
“...... Xiao Luo?" Xue Yu looked up at him.
Xiao Luo took a deep breath and lowered his head to meet her gaze: "You want to find out, you want to stop it." ”
"Yes. Xue Yun straightened up and faced Xiao Luo, his eyes were firm: "The matter of Jiujing is not only related to Daddy's matter, but also an important matter for the survival of the entire Great Thousand Worlds. In love, in reason, I have no reason to let go. ”
Xiao Luo's eyes drifted for a moment, and a sentence involuntarily appeared in his mind: "The next is safe...... It should never be just a responsibility. ”
“...... But if no one steps out one by one to do this, what can they rely on?" Xue Yun pursed his lips and paused word by word: "And even if others can not do it because of concern, because of worry, because of timidity, I will not do it."
“...... Because you have obtained the 'power of origin' of Kujing. ”
Xue Yun hooked the corners of his mouth: "There is no reason in the world to only benefit but not contribute. How wonderful is Kujing's 'power of origin', I feel the most profound, and I am the most deserving...... The people who do it. ”
"...... Child"
"Xiao Luo, do you know? I think so...... Actually, I don't feel difficult at all, I don't think it's a lot of pressure. In the past few days, I have seen many things, heard many things, thought about it in my heart, pondered it over and over again, and finally ...... Gradually, it became a type. The recognition of Jiujing, the help of the power of the source, is a great opportunity for me, I want to ...... Maybe something I didn't have the ability to do in the past can be a try?"
Xiao Luo watched Xue Yuan stand up from the ground, slowly walked two steps forward to the river, facing the moonlight, with his back to himself, his figure looked a little thin, and his straight back revealed a pine-like upright and resolute.
"At the beginning of Chenzhou Loucheng, Yu Bo got up, and the two loose cultivators who had no identity background in the Dongcheng Villa died tragically eighteen years ago, and no one from the Feng family came forward at all. More than 100 years ago, the Shangguan family's generations of hard work were stolen by Yuan Che, but only for Yuan Che's back to the Feng family, he was chased and killed, and he was almost wiped out, and he is still in hiding today. Yuan Che's Qingyun Recipe has a lot of hidden dangers, I don't know how many victims like Fang Ye are in the entire Kyushu, but because of the Qingyun Pill, how many families have been implicated, for the sake of this endless profit, they can unite to care about the life and death of those poor monks who are really mixed with spiritual roots. Zhongzhou, and even the entire Kyushu continent, cultivators are high above ordinary people like ants, trembling, trying to live their lives well, but they can't stop it, Qishan Hui is such a persecution of cultivators with ulterior motives......"
Xiao Luo looked at Xue Yuan's back, watched her hang down at her side and clenched into fists, her hands trembling slightly, and slowly stood up from under the tree.
"And the matter of Yan Lemon...... The world is deceived and ignorant of the truth, so frankly and justifiably, he wantonly uses words to hurt innocent people. Of course, they are not worthy of forgiveness, but it is the one who deliberately buries the truth and deliberately deceives and induces them. Apart from this one, how many such things are there, and how many filthy illusions have caused the world to help and abuse?"
Xiao Luo took two steps forward and stood only an arm's length behind her: "What do you want?"
"I'm ......" Xue Yun turned his back to Xiao Luo, raised his head slightly to face the bright moonlight on the side, and his eyes were terrifying:
"I want this world to have a law to follow and reason to follow, not to judge right and wrong by birth, and not to distinguish right from wrong by strength and weakness. I want this time, no longer pretentious because of dirty interests, every living being has the right to know the truth and not be blinded. I know it's probably just a beautiful dream, and it won't be possible in a thousand years. Human nature is complex, people's hearts are changeable, each has its own thoughts, but ......
"But?"
"I want to give it a try. ”
"Knowing you can't do it?"
Hearing this, Xue Yun slowly turned around to face Xiao Luo, with a thin glint of water in his eyes, but he didn't hesitate to retreat: "I don't know how many people have had such dreams before me, and how many people have tried to walk such a road. I don't know if there will be anyone after me who wants to go in this direction, I just know, I'm leaving, I'm going to do. If you don't do it, it's really going to be a dream forever. Only if you try it, will there be a silver lining. ”
“......”
"I have obtained a great opportunity that everyone in the world has been striving for, and I clearly know that this rare and magical opportunity that can make me unlimited in the future is the hope that the nine families in the Kyushu Continent have guarded for many years and generations. In that case, there is no reason for me to curl up in a corner for my own benefit. With power comes responsibility. Even now I am far from enough, but I know where I should go. In the future, I will not only do it for myself, but also for ...... My dreams, my responsibilities. ”
Xiao Luo looked at Xue Yuan, her back to the moonlight, her face was immersed in shadows, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Luo took half a step forward, stretched out his hands, and gently held her trembling shoulders:
"Okay, I'll accompany you. ”
Xue Yuan's nose was sour: "...... You know, I may be delusional, fantasic, unrealistic, dangerous, and difficult......"
"Well, I'll accompany you. ”
Xiao Luo's voice was very flat, as if he casually responded, just making a basket of soup dumplings tomorrow morning.
Xiao Luo smiled slightly, and with a slight force in his hand, he hugged Xue Yuan, who was stiff and trembling, into his arms
Xue Yuan is determined, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have fear or timidity in her heart. The more I understand the difficulties of this dream, the more I understand the crisis.
I don't know how many people will be the enemy and how many forces will be opposed.
Xiao Luo stuck to Xue Yuan's ear, which was already cold in the night wind, and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. ”
