Volume 2: Shura Realm IV. Father
Ten thousand trees through the autumn to stay green, the phoenix vein after years of moisturization so that Huangyu in the autumn wind is still full of spring, it is the apricot moon, the light rain is continuous.
The cultivation ground is still the same black appearance, only a little green sprouts emerge under the lawn scorched by the flames, my sister has been going to Baizong for three days, and my mother has been in retreat due to her injuries, and during this time, only Kaoru is cultivating alone, although the eldest sister has allowed her to become bold, but she only realized how difficult it is to really operate. Although the children of ordinary families are also ten years old, the qi of heaven and earth in their bodies is thin, and only a little guidance from their parents can condense it into a demon, and Kaoru's qi of heaven and earth has been condensed for six years, and such a majestic ability is not controlled overnight.
A little cold sweat on his forehead sticks the short bangs to his cheeks, and today Kaoru has been in the middle for eight hours, and he can't even use lunch from the beginning of the day, but the naughty demon power in his body is disobedient, no matter how he suppresses it, it is useless, and he is running around on his demon bones. "I don't believe it, I have to get you done today!" ' Teeth clenched, stubborn temper came up really terrible, Kaoru frowned, the clothes on his back had been soaked with sweat, exhaustion made his arms tremble, his senses were concentrated to a certain extent, and all the sounds around him were amplified countless times.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Kaoru quickly withdrew from his cultivation, and was pleasantly surprised to see that his mother had actually come out of the customs. Gu Xiu looked good today, wearing a white fox fur coat and coming barefoot, the left half of Su's shoulder was exposed, and his injured left arm was on the chest placket.
Seeing that Kaoru realized his existence so quickly, a flash of surprise flashed in Gu Yanxiu's eyes, and he was immediately replaced by a gentle smile: "Very keen, not bad." ”
Kaoru jumped down from the cultivation stone and ran to his mother's side: "It's my mother who is injured, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed." Is Mother alright?"
Gu Yanxiu nodded: "It's okay, can there be progress in cultivation today?"
Kaoru rubbed her head: "No, it's a bottleneck......"
This is the first time the two have talked since Kaoru woke up, and the mother and daughter have not talked about the day's fighting. As a daughter and younger sister, Kaoru really doesn't know how to participate in it, after all, she is not a four-year-old doll, and she also understands how her former mother was hurt to hate herself and her cousin's daughter so much, but the eldest sister is innocent. I don't know where to start, so I simply don't mention it.
Kaoru obediently listened to her mother's instructions, and suddenly saw her reach out to her lower abdomen, the little girl was startled, and one retreated. Just kidding, if the demonic power that I have suppressed for six years is probed out by my mother, how can I explain it? Wouldn't I betray my eldest sister?
Gu Yanxiu's hands stopped in mid-air, and he looked at his daughter puzzled: "Let Mother see if the Qi of Heaven and Earth in your body can be formed." ”
Kaoru hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, it's still far away, you should be disappointed." ”
"No, I'll find out what's wrong with you until I've looked around. ”
Seeing that her mother reached out again, Kaoru's head turned rapidly, and she suddenly opened her mouth to divert the topic: "Mother, my daughter has something she wants to ask." ”
Gu Yanxiu's hand stopped and nodded: "You ask." ”
The question that was still hesitating whether to ask today was quickly asked, Kaoru pursed her lips, trying to make her tone sound relaxed: "Over the years, my mother has been going out repeatedly, and every time I come back, I am covered in bruises, I was still young before, and I don't know how to be considerate, but now I am ten years old, and I will be an adult in two years, can my mother tell me, why are you busy?"
Listening to the euphemism in the little doll's words, Gu Yanxiu's heart was sour, she had indeed never fulfilled her mother's responsibilities over the years, and the caution in the latter's expression was the best statement.
"Kaoru, it's not that my mother doesn't want to tell you, it's just that my mother doesn't want you to worry. ”
Kaoru shook his head: "If you don't say it, I'm thinking all day long, and I can't get married, and I can't use the food, so I'm even more worried." ”
Hearing this, Gu Yanxiu pondered for a while, then immediately reached out to hold his daughter's warm hand, turned around and walked outside the cultivation ground.
Kaoru wondered, "Where are we going?"
The mother did not answer. In fact, Gu Study's character was completely inherited by the two daughters, Kaoru inherited the enthusiasm and gentleness, and Han inherited the city and ruthlessness. Just like now, Gu Yanxiu's silent expression was exactly the same as the expression on the eldest sister's face when she refused to answer.
As the pace deepened, Kaoru probably knew that the destination of this trip was the wasteland of oatmeal rabbit sunflower in the center of Huangyu. The wasteland is surrounded by mountains, and is outlined by the dense jungle into a circular clearing with a diameter of 100 zhang, and Xun will also go to that place to practice on weekdays, and I don't understand why there is such a large open space in Huangyu.
It's rare to walk side by side with my mother in the jungle, it's like a walk, Kaoru looked up at the latter's face in the sun, and her heart warmed, and she had some hope to go on like this. However, the mother's flat voice pulled it back to reality: "It's here. ”
Kaoru looked around, seeing nothing but the empty lawn, and looked up at her mother, who was smiling at her, suspiciously. Gu Yanxiu let go of his daughter's right hand, put it to his lips and bit it hard, and a blood mark appeared from his wrist.
"Kaoru, watch carefully, if I'm not there in the future, only you can turn it on. ”
Gu Lan Kaoru is full of question marks, what is the opening?
Blood gushed out from the tooth marks and dripped down Gu Yanxiu's wrist, and the moment it fell on the blade of grass, suddenly, a golden light appeared from the leaf. In Gu Lanxun's shocked gaze, the mother made a seal with one hand, the speed was so fast that it was blurry, and the naked eye could not distinguish it at all, and then a red light burst out from the latter's heart, shooting straight ahead. To Kaoru's surprise, the light did not hit the trees opposite, but disappeared suddenly not far in front of the two of them, as if it was absorbed by something. After a few breaths, the air directly in front of them suddenly began to distort, and then a large silhouette appeared in the clearing.
The ancient buildings with dark red and gold are like ancient beasts crawling on the ground, and the eight stone pillars of rusty green vicissitudes support the three-story ancient pavilion, and every brick and tile has carved traces of ancient times. Kaoru raised his head to meet the sunlight and looked at the long plaque of the ancient building, and the three dragons and phoenixes danced like living creatures, releasing an amazing coercion: Demon Law Heavenly Pavilion.
Looking at his daughter's stunned appearance, Gu Yanxiu smiled with satisfaction, this is the Demon Law Treasure Pavilion that has been preserved for a long time since the birth of the Phoenix First Line, and the age is much earlier than the Third World War, and the pride of the Phoenix First Line comes from this.
"Whether it is a demon or a demon, or a saint, cultivation is the foundation of foundation, and on top of it is the cultivation of spells, the demons have magic skills, the holy clan has holy arts, and the demon clan has demon methods. A powerhouse of the Immortal Realm, no matter how powerful he is, if he doesn't know the demon law, he is just a reckless man with brute strength, and he is even inferior to an opponent who is three orders different from him. ”
Kaoru from her mother naturally understood that she was shocked because she had never thought that the legendary 'Phoenix Heavenly Pavilion' actually existed, and she had never realized that it was right in front of her eyes. Legend has it that all the phoenix demon methods in the phoenix vein are sealed in the heavenly pavilion, and the demon methods of the heavenly rank are not to mention, even the worst demon methods have also reached the middle level of the ground level. You must know that the demon law is divided into four orders: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, and if a certain family can get a local lower-level demon law, they can be in the ranks of the upper demon clans on the continent.
Grunting and spitting, Kaoru's eyes lit up as the heavy gilt door opened, staring hotly at the place where the ancient aura originated. There is no end in sight inside the gate, the milky white light shines in it, the thick dust can't tell which grain comes from the heyday period nine hundred years ago, countless willow yellow lights shine in the air, and there is no lack of brilliant golden light clusters, that is the Heavenly Rank Demon Method.
Following his mother's steps into it, Xun's toes just touched the ground, and a wave of powerful demonic power swept in his heart, and his mother explained on the side: "This is the monitoring left in the seal, my phoenix clan's demon magic heavenly pavilion can only be entered by the phoenix bloodline, if you are not a phoenix line, the energy just now will directly devour you." ”
Seeing her mother say such creepy words so calmly, Kaoru cautiously leaned closer to the former, but as she gradually deepened, the little girl began to be unscrupulous again. The demon magic cheats suspended around her body were like a demagogic charm under the milky white light, hooking Kaoru to keep leaning up, and the deep gold temptation to her made her overflow with layers of demonic energy. This is the power, the power that can be obtained at your fingertips, from the 'Phoenix Attracting Nine Chicks' of the Feng Clan to the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens' of the Mother, the Heavenly Demon Methods of the Demon Realm Continent of the ancestors are all gathered here. Although Kaoru couldn't tell with the naked eye which one was his mother's 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens' or 'Honghu Starburst', he could guess it with his familiar fluctuations.
The footsteps were still drifting deeper on both sides, and Kaoru raised his hand to grab a demon spell that was so hot that it glowed red, but his hand was just halfway up and his mother held it. Gu Yanshu pulled the impatient little guy and walked straight ahead, his eyes full of gentle smiles, as if he saw himself who was led here by his father when he was a child.
"What's the matter?
After being reminded by her mother, Kaoru realized that she had already been run away from the clouds, by the way, she asked her mother what she had been busy with all these years, so she was brought here.
"Why did Mother bring me here?"
Gu Yan Xiu replied to the question: "The Demon Law Secret Book can only be used by cultivators, you are not yet strong, and there is still a long time before the Great Perfection, so you are not in a hurry." ”
It seems that the mother doesn't plan to make it clear to herself when she arrives at the destination, Kaoru pouted, but her eyes seemed to be glued to the demon law, and the eagerness that she had never had rose from her heart, the third order of the soul, the fifth order of soul condensation, and then the small consummation and the great consummation, when will she be able to cultivate the demon method?
The door behind him gradually faded away, and finally disappeared completely from sight when Kaoru and the two turned to the second floor of the Heavenly Pavilion. Kaoru suddenly stopped in place, the second floor of the Heavenly Pavilion and the first floor were very different, there was no light and no demonic power, but the familiar fluctuations that could no longer be familiar filled every corner. Kaoru raised her eyes and looked at her mother in panic, "This is here?"
The smile in Gu Yanxiu's eyes disappeared, he let go of Kaoru's hand and stepped forward alone: "You read that right, here are all magic skill cheats. ”
Yes, the gas that surrounds the darkness is magic. Gu Lanxun seemed to understand something for a moment, but in disbelief, she looked up at her mother and waited for a final answer.
"Little Xun'er, do you miss your father?"
Gu Lanxun didn't know how to answer, the man who had never appeared in her life but gave her life and left her a demonic heart, she actually didn't feel much.
Without receiving a reply from his daughter, Gu Yanxiu smiled slightly, as if he missed him, and said to himself: "I, I really miss him, every night I close my eyes, and my mind is the image of him committing suicide for me." That year, in front of the hundred schools of the demon clan, I dreamed of giving birth to him, the coward who blushed when talking to girls, and actually had the courage to cut off relations with me, and a long knife picked out his heart. ”
Kooru shuddered as she spoke, her calm tone and the bloodshot in her eyes, and for the first time she felt her mother's cold and grief-stricken love so deep.
Kaoru unconsciously wanted to hear more about his biological father's story, so he pursed his lips and asked, "Can my mother tell me about the events at that time?"
"It's time to tell you," Gu Yanxiu said indifferently, "You must always remember the faces that killed your father, the Mei Clan, the Gluttonous Clan, and the Jiaolong Clan...... There is also the ancient research center. ”
Kaoru was stunned, Gu Yanyu, Sister's father, is this still related to that person?
As if knowing what Kaoru was thinking, Gu Yanshu opened his mouth without any taboos, and said bluntly: "You said that I hated Han because of my hatred for her father, but you didn't know my despair at that time. I blame Gu Yanyu for forcing me, but the two of us have grown up together, and I have always known his love for me, and I can't hate the cousin who spoiled me and protected me. So I gave birth to Han but didn't tell him, I traveled around the continent and avoided him in a muddle, trying to avoid him for the rest of my life, until that year, I met your father. ”
A glint flashed in Gu Study's eyes, and that gentleness made Kaoru also want to go to her mother's memory to see what kind of character her father was.
"He's the most simple and beautiful person I've ever met, obviously magical, but so kind, never hurting a single grass or tree. During that time, I really thought that I had encountered redemption, and I thought that my life finally had hope, but he, he!" Speaking of this, Gu Yanxiu clenched his silver teeth: "He deceived this matter from the mouth of Fox Qianqiu, and then, he led the demon clan to surround and suppress your father, and there was no room for discussion!" Your father couldn't bear to do it in that situation, he could have fought his way out, but he was beaten all over his body, in order not to affect me, he never said a word to me from beginning to end, and he didn't ask me for help for half a look. Finally, right in front of my eyes, he cut out his own demon heart......"
The story before birth has not deteriorated with the years, the silent sadness makes the tip of Kaoru's nose tingle with a faint sourness, she didn't say anything, this is the first time she heard her father's things back then, but somehow, a bond in the blood and bones is so silently connected, the father who was just a name in the past seems to come to life, in the bottom of her heart. As Kaoru thought, even if everyone said that the demons were cruel and unkind, she always believed that her father was a warm and kind person, just like the warm demonic energy in her body.
Kaoru looked up at the magic tricks that floated in the air like a black hole in front of him, and all the fragments in his brain were connected: "So these magic skills are what my mother has searched for over the years." You have frequently come into contact with the White Demon Clan in the remnants of the Three World Wars, and you have entered the Shura Realm, just to find a secret way to resurrect your father. ”
Gu Yanxiu was noncommittal, and only said: "He is dead, and I am alive like a walking corpse." Fortunately, that year I found out that I was pregnant with you, and this was the only hope that would sustain me in life. Alas...... However, you are very weak in my body, dreaming of him, he is too strong, and his daughter has also inherited his powerful demon heart, but you are half demon and half demon, and your demon bones have not yet been formed, and you are frequently in danger of being eaten by magic power. At this time, Gu Yanyu came to the door, so I killed him, refined his bloodline to you, and saved your life, which took me three full years. And just when you were about to be born, the Mei Clan knew about your existence, so there was that great war. ”
Kaoru's pupils dilated suddenly, she had heard countless versions of her birth but had never heard such a secret, it seemed that even her uncle never knew: "Mother killed Sister A's father because of me?" I thought it was ......" This realization made Kaoru cold, then wouldn't she become Sister A's father-killing enemy, even if only indirectly.
Gu Xiu shook his head, the coldness in his eyes was like a thousand years of ice, and it was by no means a day's cold: "He should thank you for allowing him to live for so long." Otherwise, if it weren't for you, I would have been the first to take his life, and then the Gluttonous and Gluttonous Clan...... One by one, the blood is washed over, and everyone has to pay for their dreams. ”
Gu Lanxun was speechless, and the next moment he felt outrageous fear for his own background. Over the years, the world's leniency towards her is nothing more than two points, one is that the world is auspicious when she was born, and the other is that she has no demonic heart. But now it seems that Kaoru not only has a demonic heart, but also devoured the bloodline of Gu Yanyu, and it is a miracle that he still lives in Huangyu with such a physique.
Gu Yanxiu stretched out his hand and rubbed his daughter's head: "I told you that it is not to make you more stressed, but you are older, you should know." You have to remember that your mother can't be with you all your life, even if you have the heart, you can't do it, I'm too deeply infected with magic, and my bloodline is being eaten by demonic energy all the time, and it won't take a few years to lose my bloodline, and I'll be like a wasted person. ”
"Mother!" Kaoru shook her mother's hand in a panic: "Then you don't have to look for any resurrection cheats, Father definitely doesn't want to see you like this!"
Gu Yanxiu smiled slightly: "This is my mother's only hope to live, don't worry, even if I lose my blood one day, I won't die." At that time, it was up to Xiao Xun'er to protect her mother. ”
Kaoru was speechless for a while, she has been very good at observing words and emotions since she was a child, and comparing her heart to her heart, just like now, she knows that whatever she says is nonsense, and her mother will not listen.
"But Xiao Xun'er must remember that you must not let the second person know about your demonic heart, it will kill you, even if you are a powerhouse in the Immortal Realm, you can't withstand the crusade and fear of the people of the world," the mother smiled sadly: "Don't let people know that you have other phoenix bloodlines fused with your body, otherwise before you have the ability to protect yourself, the insatiable people will be like maggots on tarsal bones who have been coveting your bloodline." ”
Kaoru's solemn tone made Kaoru nod solemnly, but he was inexplicably depressed in his heart, why should he be condemned as a wicked person with a demonic heart? Although the ancestors of the two veins of demons and demons since ancient times were all brutal, in Kaoru's opinion, this was not the reason why she was forced to become a wicked person.
Seeing that the little guy was silent, Gu Yanxiu bent down, the grief in his eyes was well covered, his forehead touched his daughter's forehead, and changed the topic: "Okay, it's hard to get the Demon Law Heavenly Pavilion today, why don't you choose a natal demon method?"
Kaoru was slightly surprised, although she was sensible early, but after all, at this age, children are always easy to be attracted to new things, hearing that they can choose the natal demon method, the sorrow just now seemed to dissipate for a moment: "I haven't gotten strong yet, can I choose?"
The mother smiled with pride: "Ordinary demon methods naturally require cultivators to use them, but the natal demon method can be cultivated by birth for my Phoenix clan." Xiao Xun'er should never forget that you are the Phoenix clan, which is no less than the abyss of the three sects and nine streams. ”
