494 The world is like chess [one watch]
Although Xiao Jingyan was very worried about the situation of glutinous rice, he thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, turned his head to the back to help Qin Guanglan contact his allies.
Nuomi was not alone in front of the main hall in the end, in addition to Lan Zhanzhou and a large group of disciples who could guard him, there was also a leopard standing majestically on the side, just like a guardian spirit, it really had the spirit of a guardian beast.
Although Xiao Jingyan also wanted to guard Nuomi's side, he himself knew that even if he kept standing by Nuomi's side all day long, he couldn't help Nuomi at all. On weekdays, when he is free, he can still find time to come to the glutinous rice to shake, but in such an urgent situation now, there is no such time to waste him.
He was even a little envious of the disciples outside who could surround Nuomi. At the beginning, he also wanted to be an outer disciple and gave up, but later in order to help glutinous rice share the burden, he reluctantly took over the burden of the housekeeper. At that time, he really felt that he could help Nuomi a lot, but now that he needs to put down his work to stand next to Nuomi, he hates that he has too many things in his hands.
Unfortunately, there is no way around it.
He could only try to convince himself that there would be no problem with the glutinous rice being guarded by so many people. And he really can't help Nuomi now, it's better to find a way to deal with the outside things early, and don't let Nuomi worry about it anymore.
When he turned around to look at the side of the main hall, there were already many disciples who had gathered around Nuomi, dancing with their hands. It seems that he is comparing the situation of the blue light rising from the body of the leopard to Nuomi.
Xiao Jingyan stood far away, looking at their lively appearance, and suddenly felt that the distance between him and them was very far away.
Once, like these disciples, he didn't need to think about anything. Just look at the one-third of an acre of land in front of you. What he has to consider is not as huge as this entire sect, even if something happens in the sect, he just needs to think about running for his life.
It's like when he was in the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion at the beginning, even if something happened, he could choose to face the difficulties. Or turn around and run away. At the beginning, he only had his own life and death, but later there was more glutinous rice, and there was no need to think too much about it.
Whether you stay or run away, there is a lot to maneuver around.
And now he needs to bear the life and death of hundreds of people in the entire sect. As long as he does not reach the point of complete indifference to these people, he must think about it little by little, and think about how to get everyone out of this dangerous place.
Sometimes it may just be his unexpectedness, and a disciple of this sect will be killed on the spot.
He had always felt that the stewards of those sects were too cold-blooded and shady, and he had never considered the interests of their disciples.
But when he really stood at such a height, he realized that it was not that those immortal elders in charge of affairs did not think about it, but that those immortal elders thought too much and too far. to a height that he couldn't reach at all.
There are some choices and trade-offs that he can't understand and agree with when he stands in the lower position. It was only when he gradually took on the responsibility that he realized that some things were not as simple as he imagined.
When he was just a disciple, the world in front of him was too small, and there weren't many things he had to think about.
It's like playing Go with others.
When I first started entering the section. All that is considered is whether the current move can block the opponent's path, and there is no storage of the entire chessboard in the eyes. It was only after waiting for the ability to go up and gradually see the overall situation of the entire chessboard that I realized how naïve and ridiculous my original ideas were.
Nuomi sat on the mat, quietly listening to the disciples around her learn the previous situation for her, while blinking her eyes, there seemed to be some surprise on her face, but it was not very revealed.
Probably a disciple told Nuomi that the person who first found out that she was wrong was Lan Zhanzhou, and Nuomi glanced at Lan Zhanzhou in some surprise. Seeing that Lan Zhanzhou was a little embarrassed, she whispered her thanks, with a smile in her eyes.
Xiao Jingyan looked at the spirit of glutinous rice as if it had returned, so he was a little relieved. He stood for a moment, watching Glutinous Rice slowly smile slightly. Talking to those disciples around him, he felt a sense of relief.
He was about to turn around and leave from the front of this hall, but he didn't know which disciple saw him when he turned around, so he actually beckoned to him and beckoned him to go to Nuomi's side.
Xiao Jingyan hesitated, and finally walked to Nuomi's side, naturally getting a shy smile from Nuomi.
Nuomi herself naturally knew what was going on in her body, but in front of those disciples and Xiao Jingyan outside, she could never tell the truth, so she could only shake her head and push this qiē into the unknown. She is still a little weak now, and naturally no one forces her to tell the reason.
She could only secretly apologize in her heart to those disciples who cared about her. She looked at Xiao Jingyan standing in front of her, a little speechless, and didn't dare to ask Xiao Jingyan what he had hidden in his heart.
Nuomi even had a lot of things to say to Lu Leopard.
Although she can share the same heart with the leopard, there are limits to this similarity. On weekdays, it is not difficult to communicate a little bit about right and wrong. But nowadays, if there is something complicated and you want to ask, it becomes a question in the end. She could have spoken directly to the leopard, but now that there were so many people around her, it was obviously not a good time to ask.
The leopard stood very majestically beside Nuomi, and if he hadn't occasionally looked down at Nuomi's situation, it would really make people think that he had completely turned into a stone to guard.
Even the disciples around Nuomi, when they saw the leopard, they couldn't help but cringe a little.
Although they are used to seeing leopards, and even play with leopards, they have never seen leopards look so strict after all. That is, when she saw the leopard like this, Nuomi suddenly realized that the leopard was still a general in the spirit demon world, and she was also burdened with a mission that she couldn't quite understand.
She felt a little sorry for the leopard.
Those disciples outside didn't know, but she knew it clearly.
The so-called blue-blue light was misunderstood by the disciples as a rare ghost cultivation spell, but Nuomi understood it as soon as he heard it.
It wasn't a spell at all, it was a thread of soul hidden in the leopard's chest.
When I first met Jiao Suqing, Jiao Suqing was still troubled by this thread of soul; Later, in the sect conference, Jiao Suqing used the storage of this soul silk to make great fun of the leopard.
"No one would casually put a soul silk in their chest." Jiao Suqing's original words, Nuomi still felt that it was the same as in his ears, "I will put the soul silk of others into my body, and most of them are put into the soul of the Taoist couple." This can be afraid that the soul of the Taoist companion will scatter, and there will be no way back when the time comes, so he will do this, which has the meaning of agreeing on three lives. ”
For the leopard, such an important thing, but now because of her and the pillar, the leopard is forced to use it casually.
Nuomi felt that the leopard must be quite unhappy.
She couldn't afford to be happy at all.
Although this does mean that Lu Leopard cares about her very much and is willing to help her tide over the difficulties, she herself does not want to be a drag on Lu Leopard. Whether it is facing the leopard or the pillar, even Ye Fan, who is no longer thinking about it like that now, she never wants to be a character who is guarded behind and treated carefully.
She wished she could do something for these people so that she could give away a piece of her heart.
The disciples were noisily saying something, and the glutinous rice barely caught in their ears anymore. She occasionally heard something, and smiled and nodded in agreement.
She also looked weak now, and her reaction was slower, and those disciples didn't complain, but looked at her more closely, for fear that something would happen to her.
Nuomi wanted to open her mouth to talk to them, saying that her body was not tight, and it had nothing to do with the bloody mist outside, but even if she said this, I am afraid that no one would believe it, so she could only swallow those words silently back into her stomach, continue to listen to the gossip of those disciples, and turned her head to look at the situation outside.
The sky outside had slowly darkened.
As if the sun rises and the moon sets, at this time, the light outside also dims.
At this time, when I looked outside, I could no longer see the red layer of thick cumulus clouds, and it was no different from the usual night. Only the faint smell of the wind outside can make people notice the slightest abnormality.
If it weren't for the fact that at this time, the disciples were still gathered in this usually empty hall, and Nuomi really couldn't remember how bad the situation outside was now.
She sat for a long time, her body regained a little, and she felt a little hungry. She was about to get up and look for something to eat, but she saw someone watching the disciple who was very familiar with her carry food and bring it to her.
Nuomi tilted her head and thought about it, then suddenly whispered and asked, "Your name is Laifu, is it?" ”
