Chapter Twenty-Eight: Master and Apprentice Again
This dark room is on the other side of the Sun Chasing Temple, and when Huang Xuan just walked in, a cool breeze hit it, this dark room is deep into the ground and is unusually strong, even in the Sun Chasing Temple, only a few people know about it, it is considered a secret place. When he walked inside for a cup of tea, he pressed the pumice stone, and a large cell suddenly appeared in front of him.
The cell was dimly lit, and there seemed to be a man in the corner, who was wearing an indigo coat, and his whole body was shrunk into a small ball. The young man buried his head in his arms, and the right eye that was exposed was no longer focused, and the man's eyes were empty and there was nothing left, making people feel like a living corpse. What is embarrassing is that Qi Yan, who was enough to shake the world with the power of one person in the past, actually ended up like this, his thin body was locked with eight chains made of fine iron, and the range of movement was only a few steps.
After seeing the phoenix extinguished, the young man's eyes suddenly closed, and he immediately stretched out his hands with all his strength, and then opened his lips and shouted out two words with great difficulty: "Master." ”
The young man's harsh voice was like a maggot attached to the bone, deeply embedded in every bit of flesh and blood of the phoenix, as if he even breathed with the despair in Qi Yan's words.
After a long time, Huang Xuan squatted down, clenched Qi Yan's hands frozen in the air, and said, "Ah Yan, look at what I brought this time." ”
Looking at the exquisite pastries in the box, the young man no longer showed much interest, and he buried his head in frustration, looking like a frustrated young beast.
"What's the matter, Ah Yan is unhappy?"
When he asked this sentence, he felt ridiculous, so he was not as happy as the life of insects and ants.
He sighed lightly and simply sat down beside the young man, "Does Ah Yan want to go out?"
Hearing this, Qi Yan raised his head and stared at Huang Xuan seriously, because he was too thin, the young man's wide eyes were also particularly eye-catching.
"But if you want to go out, you must first learn to be a 'person', Ah Yan, do you understand?"
"People......" he pronounced the word, and the confusion on his face deepened, "People, what is that?"
"People are," Huang Xuan thought for a moment, tried to use the language that the person could understand, and said, "They can eat, they can sleep, they will have their own hobbies and moods, they will laugh when they are happy, they will be sad when they are unhappy, they will have their own things that they care about, and there are many things that they cannot and cannot change." ”
"Sad, unhappy? I know, Master has said that this feeling," Qi Yan pointed to his chest and said, "It's like a big stone pressing down here, making people breathless." I can feel that Master, you are very sad right now. ”
"I didn't realize it. ”
Qi Yan was quiet for a while, reached out and took a piece of osmanthus cake in the food box, this action caused the chain to 'gurgle', and then he spoke with a choked voice: "I can eat, I can sleep, and I know what happiness and unhappiness are, and Master, you are all the things I care about, the things I care about." So, why can't I go out, why, why can't I stay with Master all the time......? Am I not a human being?"
In the face of this person's string of interrogations, Huang Xuan didn't know where to start, he was stunned for a while, and the words of Cangming that day appeared in his mind.
[Putting one's fortune and life in the hands of another person, isn't this a stupid thing that only humble mortals would do? 】
He still has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but today he is for a Qi Yan......
It seems that the foreshadowing of the Wheel of Stars is correct, Qi Yan is not only a variable in the world, but also a variable in his own fortune.
"Master?" Xu felt the embarrassment of the phoenix's annihilation, Qi Yan didn't say more, he became ignorant and unconscious again, and said obediently: "But, Master, if you think Qi Yan should stay here, then this is the best." ”
Huang Xuan sighed when he heard this, thinking back to all the things in the past, but he didn't know whether he was right or wrong.
"Don't worry, Ah Yan, Master will definitely take you out, there will be a day. Huang Xuan patted the man's head, and there was indescribable apology and pampering in his eyes: "When I was in Taihua Mountain before, the master was too strict, think about how I used to be like a plant and tree, and that kind of Huang Xuan can still be treated sincerely by you and Zhaoming and others, this is the heavens treating me well." ”
"Taihua Mountain?"
However, this man does not remember what happened before, and he still says that he has done this.
"Ah Yan, I still have some business to do, I'll see you another day, okay?"
"Okay. Qi Yan was obedient, without a trace of displeasure.
When she came out, she was waiting outside, and she still had a smile on her face, and asked, "I thought that Shizun would cherish this opportunity, why did you come out after staying for a while?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Shizun is really no longer the Shizun of the past, if it is replaced by the phoenix of the past, how can there be a trace of emotion in the face of such a scene? I heard that you were very strict with Qi Yan when you were a child, although he was able to repeatedly win the first place in Taihua Mountain at a young age, and his cultivation knowledge is far beyond that of his fellow disciples and brothers, so he has always been praised by Taihua as a rare genius for thousands of years. But he was so young that he was full of injuries, and even in the bitter cold winter, he had to practice in the cold pool of the north peak for two hours every day," Dipping Candle took another step closer, and pressed close to Huang Xuan's ear and said: "Don't you Taihua always say that we are demons and evil? But even in Yesha, we will never treat our disciples like this, Lord Shizun, how can you do it to such a thin child?"
Although Huang Xuan did not answer, there was already shame in his eyes.
"But now that Qi Yan has woken up from the Nightmare Pond and returned to a child's mind, Lord Shizun has the opportunity to be a teacher again. In the future, the world-honored one must teach Qi Yan well, so as not to be bewitched by others in the mortal world in the future. ”
"You're going to let him out?"
"That's right, why, Lord Shizun doesn't want to?"
"No, you can't. ”
"But now I can't help you speak," Dipping Candle said with a smile, "The people who wake up from the Nightmare Pond are extremely angry, and the World Venerable still bothers to make it difficult to let the disciples become a living Shura who slaughters the world." ”
A cold light flashed in Huang Xuan's eyes, "You want Ah Yan to find the Book of Heluo?"
"That's right, he is the queen of the human emperor, whether it is looking for the five ministers of Fuxi or opening the door to the destruction realm, he has never disappointed me and Cangming, now Su Jue still has the realm of Huangquan, is there a more suitable candidate besides him?"
"You can't find it. ”
"If you can't find it, keep looking for it, we have time in Yesha. Just now, Lingxi sent back the news, it is said in the mortal world that Naluo Shu is in the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan, and after Lingxi's affairs in the Northern Regions are asoothed, I will arrange for her and Qi Yan to go to Emperor Yan's Mausoleum. The Spirit Rhino is a cultivator of the Star Technique, and she can be connected to the Nightmare Pool just like me, and if your disciple is restless, I'm afraid the Spirit Rhino will be like the World Venerable in the past. ”
The tomb of Emperor Yan, Huang Xuan has been to this place before, there is no trace of Luo Shu there, they are simply wasting time.
Tonight's blue sky is a good time for stargazing.
Mu Yanzhen sat alone in the courtyard, he was able to not only see, but also feel the power of the stars, and the young man moved his fingers, and saw the starlight between his fingers.
"Looks like you're making good progress. ”
Mu Yan said happily: "Master!"
"How does it feel to have the power of the stars at your fingertips?"
"This kind of light is warm in the hand, and it makes people feel very comfortable. ”
"The power of the stars comes from heaven and earth, and if you think through this heaven and people, of course, you will feel unobstructed. ”
"Heaven and man are connected?"
"Try to match the power of the stars between your fingers with the stars in the sky. ”
Under the guidance of Cangming, Mu Yan really felt the inner breath around him, and in the vast sea of stars, he actually saw Xiao Qiyu's face.
"Your Majesty?"
"What do you see?"
"I ...... I saw His Majesty, and I saw the scene of him as a child. ”
"Where did you see that?"
Mu Yanzhen raised his hand and pointed, "There." ”
It turned out to be a star.
Cangming nodded with satisfaction, but in four days, this person had already found Xiao Qiyu's life star.
"But," Mu Yanzhen said in frustration: "This star is not very bright, it is really inconspicuous compared to the one next to it, if it weren't for Master's guidance, I wouldn't have seen it." ”
Xiao Qiyu is about to run out, and of course his fate is dimmed.
"But there is a star not far from it, its light is getting brighter and brighter, just like the Big Dipper, and it is ......" Mu Yanzhen's voice stopped abruptly, he frowned, why in addition to Xiao Qiyu, there are two life stars of the same origin as him? Could it be that in this world, in addition to Xiao Qiyu and Xiao Yuze, there are other descendants of the Xiao family?
"What, what do you see?"
"No, nothing. ”
"What, even I have to hide it?"
"The disciple didn't dare, it's just that the disciple saw something that shouldn't be in this star, and the disciple didn't know whether he was right or wrong. ”
He reacted like this, he should have noticed Xiao Beihuang's orphan.
"The stars never lie. ”
Mu Yan really remembered the palace change that dealt with Mu Yansheng before, and the reason why Xiao Qiyu hated Mu Yan's family so much was because Mu Yande instigated Xiao Qizhao and Xiao Yilu to force the palace to seize power thirteen years ago. But there have always been other rumors in the palace about this matter, they say that the two princes did not enter the palace at that time to seize the throne, but to force the only son of the emperor who had been hiding in the people. Xiao Beihuang has been diligent in government all his life, and he has no heirs in his reign for more than 200 years, so how can he have a son? Therefore, Mu Yanzhen and Xiao Qiyu only regarded these as rumors and never paid attention to them, but now they seem to be true from the star image.
Moreover, Xiao Qizhao and Xiao Yilu had already obtained the national seal and issued an edict, so after the death of the first emperor, why didn't they seize the time to take charge of the power of the court and lead the troops out of the city? They asked Mu Yansheng to retreat obviously to do a very secret thing, but the last two princes died at the border, and Xiao Qiyu has not found out how they died. Could it be that they went to hunt down and kill Xiao Beihuang's only son back then? Could it be that they died because of this?
