In fact, Nie Xingxu will be a five-star earth spirit root, which is not unfounded. His mother-in-law, Wu Ying, had also practiced by herself for a while, but her spiritual root was only one and a half earth spiritual roots, even if she was well-read, her comprehension was too low, and she didn't learn any real skills. Wu Ying's husband, that is, Nie Xingxu's father, Nie Lingyun, is a three-star Lei Linggen, although it is not superior, but it is also average; It's just that not long after the birth of the third son, Nie Xingxu, because on the way out to find the natal beast, he was mistakenly attacked by a group of beasts, and when he was brought back by his companions, he was already dying, and the last message left was that the three children in the family should never take the path of cultivation; Therefore, the three sons of the Nie family, including Nie Xingxu, were all watched closely by Wu Ying and were not allowed to walk on the road of their deceased father.
But Nie Xingxu was born with a strong comprehension, and when Nie Xingxu was a child, Wu Ying, who was also an earth spirit root, saw it; It's just that because he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, Wu Ying deceived Nie Xingxu and told him that he didn't have to study this path of cultivation deeply, his spiritual root was thunder, and it was too low to be successful at all; Unexpectedly, Nie Xingxu still secretly took out the yellowed spell book from his home, and really learned the first layer of the thunder spell.
It's just that in that thief slaughtering the village, Nie Xingxu's thunder spell couldn't work at all, which has always been the biggest pain in his heart. Not to mention that the two elder brothers died in front of their eyes, even their mother-in-law Wu Ying sacrificed to save herself...... When watching Wu Ying walk towards him step by step, Nie Xingxu seemed to think of the traitorous laughter of those thieves in his mind. and Wu Ying has always whispered to him, "If you live, there is hope......
"Mother, mother......" Nie Xingxu bit his lip, and tears fell down. Tears were all over his face; He is like a child who has never been in the world, and he just wants to see his mother again; And now I have finally achieved my wish.
Wu Ying was also full of excitement, with some inexplicable resentment; She slowly walked in front of Nie Xingxu, and saw that Nie Xingxu was about to throw herself into her arms, but she took advantage of the situation and slapped Nie Xingxu in the face.
After the "snap", Nie Xingxu's body fell to the side; He just lay on the ground in a daze, his hand covering his hot and stinging face. My heart was full of incomprehension, but the tears did not stop for a while, and they still flowed down. Wu Ying saw this. The tears that she had endured for a long time finally came out of her eyes, she clenched her fists, and loved this little son very much in her heart, but after knowing what he had done. But it is love-hate. I don't know how to deal with it.
"You've been growing up since you were a child, and this is the first time your mother has beaten you." Wu Ying said, raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears, and his body trembled slightly, "This is for those souls in your mouth, Xu'er, even if you do those evils, I don't know." But that doesn't mean those things haven't happened. ”
Nie Xingxu finally came back to his senses and listened to Wu Ying's words. only then did I know what Wu Ying was angry about; He didn't know how much remorse he should have about this, and when his fist slammed on the ground, he opened his mouth and wept, "Mother, the children know that these children can't get out; After all, I did these things myself. My mother was happy to help others in those years, and I also hoped that the three of us brothers would be kind-hearted; It's a pity that my mother tried her best to save me, but she did such a rebellious thing. Mother, the child knows that he is wrong, he really knows that he is wrong, and the child wants to work hard to make up for it......"
Wu Ying knelt on her knees and held Nie Xingxu's head in her arms, as intimate as before, but her body always trembled slightly because of excitement, "My Xu'er, my mother actually understands in my heart, you don't want to do this, my mother knows, this is not my Xu'er." I know all too well what my own children are by nature. Among the three brothers, you are the most delicate and gentle. You are like a wave of calm water, which can make people unconsciously feel at ease. Xu'er, mother knows, you are a good boy, oh no, now, it's time to call you a good man, so you should understand that the burden on your shoulders belongs to you, and you must be responsible for it to the end. ”
Nie Xingxu was surrounded by Wu Ying like this, and seemed to have returned to the past; The small village he dreamed back to countless times, where there was his mother and two brothers who loved him, and Sun Xiaohong next door always asked him to practice poetry and books together...... How many years have passed, and now he can return to this embrace, it is really a dream, he never thought that one day, Wu Ying would appear in front of him, saying the same words as before, and the tone was the same love as before.
"Mother, what do you mean, the children understand. It's just that this human being is really not worthy of being guarded by children, if it weren't for those wicked people, how could my mother ...... How could my brother ......" Nie Xingxu gritted his teeth, the warm scene passed by, and then looked closely, all the blood spread all over the ground; What penetrated into the ears was the laughter and scolding of the thieves.
"Wicked, Xu'er, you're right," Wu Ying helped Nie Xingxu up, the mother and son sat on the edge of the bed, Wu Ying took Nie Xingxu's hand and said earnestly, "People are divided into good people and evil people, and in my opinion, there are far more good people than evil people." Think about it, are there wicked people in the village where you grew up? When you go out and pass through, are there many good people or evil people? ”
These two questions stopped Nie Xingxu at once; Indeed, Wu Ying's words made him indefensible. If these humans are evildoers, what about their own brothers and relatives? What about the people in the village? Speaking of the moment, what about Ye Lingyun, who has been comforting herself?
Wu Ying understands that his son is, after all, the meat that fell from his body; She knew that Nie Xingxu must be struggling with his thoughts at this time; First, he really can't forget the evil deeds done by those thieves, and second, he has hated human beings for so long that he has formed a certain inherent thought pattern, which is not so easy to change. After thinking about it again, Wu Ying took a deep breath and said to Nie Xingxu, "Okay, Xu'er, my mother will give you the simplest example, Xu'er, you yourself have done those evil things like thieves, even if you don't know it yourself, but you did it yourself, can you admit this?" ”
Nie Xingxu lowered his head, but he also bowed his head, and his palms were full of beads of sweat. Wu Ying patted the back of Nie Xingxu's hand and said softly, "But think about it, from those who believe in you all the way to your mother, who has always hated you because of this and can't accept you?" If you think backwards, it's the same thing. Xu'er, you should have the world in mind and fulfill your duties; If you really can't find a reason to forgive humanity, then think you're atoning for your sins. ”
Nie Xingxu kept his head down for a long time and didn't say a word; Wu Ying didn't speak anymore, just waited patiently. On the contrary, Ye Lingyun and Yu Sanwen, who were squatting on the steps at the door and eavesdropping, were a little breathless, although they were usually happy enemies, but at this time, they were all in one place.
"Senior Sister Ye, do you think Gongzi Nie will listen to his mother's words?" Yu Sanwen felt a little bottomless in his heart, after all, he couldn't hear a word from the house for a long time.
"Nie Xingxu is humble and polite, and he is reasonable; And what his mother said was indeed a bit unrefusable, "Ye Lingyun didn't know why, listening to Wu Ying's speech, it made her suddenly think of Yu Zhenzhen; In those years, Yu Zhenzhen was like this, she was not angry or angry, and she could deal with anything calmly, "I believe in Nie Xingxu." ”
"I'll just say that Senior Sister Ye is different from Nie Gongzi to others." Yu Sanwen still couldn't help but tease Ye Lingyun, which reminded her of the days when she was in the Carefree Sect in the past, even if she quarreled with Ye Lingyun, she was happy.
"Stinky fish and rotten shrimp, I think you're impatient, right?" Ye Lingyun immediately raised her small fist and was about to smash it on the top of Yu Sanwen's head, but Yu Sanwen immediately made a silent gesture, and then whispered, "Nie Gongzi seems to have spoken!" ”
Yu Sanwen was right, Nie Xingxu did speak; And not only spoke, but also raised his head this time, bravely looked at Wu Ying's kind face, and said with a little firmness in his tone, "Mother, what you said is very true, that's right, even if I can't forgive human beings, even if I see these people, I am still a little scared in my heart...... However, as if it is atonement, I can't live up to my mother's thoughts. ”
Wu Ying knew that his child would definitely accept this fate, but it was indeed a grievance for him to take on such a heavy responsibility. Nie Xingxu is different from the other four spirits, Fire Spirit Jade Zhenzhen and Thunder Spirit Feng Huafei are all excellent immortal cultivators, not to mention their cultivation is outstanding, and they have gone through countless battles; The water spirit is from the fairy world, the wind spirit Yu Yue is from the Huangquan ghost clan, and he is the noble third prince, among the five people, he is the only one, the earth spirit Nie Xingxu, is an ordinary person who is timid and has no cultivation on his body, how much pressure does this have, how can Wu Ying not know. It's just that Nie Lingyun's entrustment before his death, she still failed after all, she still let Nie Xingxu embark on the path of cultivation, and now she can only hope that he can go farther, further, and live happily ever after.
Wu Ying nodded a little excitedly, and her originally dry eyes filled with tears again. Seeing this, Nie Xingxu hurriedly helped Wu Ying wipe his tears, and said while wiping them, "Mother, I don't know how long I can stay with the child this time, if ...... If only the mother could stay with the child all the time, the child will no longer be alone......"
Nie Xingxu said this, and his eyes were red; Wu Ying patted Nie Xingxu's hand again, although there were tears in his eyes, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said, "The third prince helped me reshape my body with Manzhu Shahua, but it is not stable now." Son, even if you let go and fight, even if we are separated, it will be temporary; When the mother's real body is stable, you can be like a girl who can accompany the three princes, and she can accompany you forever. ”
"Really!" Nie Xingxu was surprised, and a tear rolled down and dripped on the back of Wu Ying's hand; Seeing Wu Ying nodding, Nie Xingxu hugged Wu Ying excitedly, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Mother, great, great!" Even if it is for this kindness, even if it is to repay the favor, I will definitely not live up to the identity of the earth spirit and the responsibility on my back!
