Chapter 21: Imprisoning Taihua
It was already Shen Shi, and when he saw Qi Yan who was waiting outside the Taihua secret area early, he was stunned, Li Ran walked in front of him one step ahead, and said to Qi Yan: "Senior sister in charge is already among them, presumably the seal has been opened at this time." β
The three of them came to this bamboo forest, and when they walked into the depths, they saw a figure, this person was wearing white clothes, and he looked very immortal from the back, but her long hair over the waist was silver and white, which was particularly conspicuous in this piece of green bamboo.
"Senior Sister in charge!" Chongjin felt a 'chuckle' in his heart, and asked Li Ran in a low voice: "Senior sister's hair, what's wrong?"
Li Ran turned her hair into ash many years ago, but before the retreat, Twilight Zhaoming was a green hair, and he sighed in his heart, he hadn't seen Twilight Zhaoming for seven years, and after this retreat, she was alone in the Jade Void Forest, except for Li Ran who could occasionally see a few times, and the people in the door were all gone. Even Ning Chen, the big disciple who entered the room, was just a vain name, and in fact, Twilight Zhaoming had never taught him.
"Senior brother, is Senior Sister practicing the Five Spirits too hard?"
Li Ran lowered his head, "I only know now." β
"What?"
Yesterday, Li Ran also went to see Twilight Zhaoming, could it be that she only became like this today? A few steps ahead of them, Qi Yan took the lead in front of Twilight Zhaoming, this person's eyes were still the same, his expression and temperament were faint, like chrysanthemum and water, and a little glass between his eyebrows made this person more pure and sage. Thinking about it, in the Taihua Gate, it was only in the body of Dusk Zhao that Qi Yan could see a little bit of the charm of the phoenix.
"Senior sister," Qi Yan bowed briefly, "I haven't seen you for a long time." β
"It's been more than ten years. β
The last time I saw Qi Yan, he seemed to be a teenager.
"Twenty-three years. β
Twilight Zhaoming showed a hint of surprise, "It's me, I don't know how long I have been in retreat all year round, Ah Yan is now an elder, and he is more graceful than when he was a teenager." β
"Senior sister has won the award, after so many years, my senior sister's face is still the same, no different from when she was in the same door. β
The woman smiled when she heard this, how could there be no difference?
"I heard Li Ran say that you've been looking for him?"
"Yes. β
"For so many years, we have failed you. Twilight Zhaoming said and bowed deeply to Qi Yan, and said guiltily: "Because of the trust of the World Venerable, we can't tell the truth, so that the junior brother has been displaced in the world for many years, this is the fault of the three of us, and now I don't expect Senior Brother Qi to forgive, I only hope to make up for the junior brother a little." β
Qi Yan also grew up with this person since he was a child, and Twilight Zhaoming also treated him very well back then, but now she bowed to Qi Yan at a loss, and immediately helped her, saying: "I don't want to pursue the past, I just want to see the master and cultivate with him from now on." β
Twilight Zhaoming waved his sleeves when he heard this, and the boundary gate in front of them opened.
"His Holiness is among them. β
Qi Yan looked at the three people around him, his eyes were indescribably excited, he had waited for decades, walked all the mountains and rivers in the world, and now he finally waited for this day.
Li Ran walked over with Chongjin at this time and said: "There is only one in the door who has a master-apprentice relationship with Shizun, I think Shizun only wants to see you alone at this time, and it is inconvenient for me to disturb." β
Qi Yan arched his hand and said solemnly: "The kindness of senior brother and senior sister, Qi Yan will repay it in this life." β
Qi Yan hurried away, but the scenery around him did not change after he passed through the boundary gate. Qi Yanzi stopped, not because he wanted to stop, but because he couldn't walk at all.
"Senior sister!"
When he turned around, the three of them were already standing in formation, and the gate suddenly shrank and turned into a legal net wrapped around his body. It turned out that this was not a boundary gate at all, but a seal prepared for him.
"You're still lying to me now!" Qi Yan yelled, "Do you think this thing can trap me?"
Under Qi Yan's luck, Dudu Zhaoming spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhaomingβ"
"You two must not let up. β
This formation had been taught to him decades ago, and he had to practice it from time to time, so he couldn't do anything about swordsmanship or anything, but he was familiar with this formation alone. At this time, Chongjin realized that the two of them had been guarding against this day for a long time, and they had already known that Qi Yan would be out of control.
Under the combined force of the three of them, Qi Yan was defenseless, and even if he had the power to reach the sky, he couldn't parry it at the moment.
"Why......" Qi Yan's eyes were full of anger, "Twilight Zhaoming, Li Ran, Chongjing, why did you do this!
None of the three answered, and they were concentrating on completing the seal.
"What happened to my master? Why did you imprison him? Did you use such a despicable method against him back then? Tell me, what happened to him-"
Qi Yan's roar shook the surrounding green bamboo, and this person's eyes were about to split, and the law net had now turned into a Dao rope, firmly binding Qi Yan and dragging him into the magic circle behind him.
"Twilight Zhaoming!" Qi Yan had tried his best, but to no avail, "Why did you do this? Why did you do this to Huang Xuan, did you forget what you said to me?"
The woman raised her head, and there was a trace of waves in her eyes that were as silent as a lake, "I haven't forgotten, and it's because I haven't forgotten that I will do this." β
"I don't understand...... I don't understand!"
"Shizun, what he has in his heart is Li Min and all things, far more than just you and me and Taihua. Ah Yan, what you think in your heart is far from what Shizun remembers in his heart, even if I let you rescue him today, it will be against his will and betray his ambition. It's just such a simple truth, why can't you figure it out after all these years?"
"What are you talking nonsense? Intentions and ambitions ......" Qi Yan sneered, "His heart and will naturally understand to me! But the three of you are hypocritical villains, who have deceived me for so many years, and now you still want to imprison me forever? Impossible, this Taihua Secret Realm can't trap me!"
"Ah Yan......" The woman called softly, as gentle as when she called him when she was a child, "If you are here, won't you be able to accompany him for eternity? β
"Twilight, I won't let you go. Qi Yan calmed down for a while, this seal will be completed, he can't escape today's catastrophe, when the three of them stopped, Qi Yan's gaze swept over them one by one, and finally threatened: "One day, I will save him, and then ...... The three of you will be restless for the rest of your life, and the people of Taihua Mountain will be restless for eternity!"
After saying this, Qi Yan's figure disappeared. Twilight took a deep breath and spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.
"Senior Sister in Charge!"
"Zhaoming," Li Ran half-hugged her and said with concern, "How is it?"
"It's okay," she indifferently wiped the blood from her lips and said, "As long as Ah Yan doesn't leave here, it's all right." β
The seal was on the line of her life, and if she died, the seal would be broken, and if the seal was broken, Twilight would die.
"I know that a lot of things have happened in the door recently, but at the moment, I really don't have time to scruple so I can only go back to the Jade Void Forest first, disciples in the door, please take care of the two of you. β
"Rest assured. β
"As for this Taihua Secret Realm...... "Twilight Zhaoming took a deep look ahead, the sun is shining here, it is really a wonderful place to cultivate and escape from the world, "Just let them be here, if the two of you have nothing else to do in the future, don't come and disturb." β
"What about Yue Qianlong? She opened this Taihua secret realm before. β
Yue Qianlong, the apprentice of Qi Yanshu, said that she was from the same clan as Shizun?
Twilight said, "Let's see." β
Twilight Zhaoming was really tired, and Li Ran went back to the Jade Void Forest with this person first. Chongjin sat alone in the Zixu Garden and drank tea in a trance, he knew that today's farewell to Qi Yan was the eternal secret.
