Chapter 140: Looking Back
Li Chuyan's expression was so flat that it was almost indifferent.
Changxing suddenly felt that a heart in her chest was beating abnormally, and her legs seemed to be filled with lead, she walked to Li Chuyan and sat down stiffly, looking at her haggard and withered face, her heart was sour.
Li Chuyan closed her eyes slightly, sighed, and said, "You have already explored my body, you should know that I am dying." ”
Although he knew that what she said was the truth, Changxing looked at her gray face, but his mood was very complicated, and he couldn't help but feel sad, so he was relieved: "No, I have an elixir here that can cure you." ”
Li Chuyan suddenly chuckled and said softly: "You don't have to comfort me, I still know how my body is." ”
Changxing pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Mother, why is your body ...... like this?"
Li Chuyan suddenly turned her head and looked at her fixedly, as if she was a little unhappy, but also seemed to be a little solemn, in short, her voice was very solemn: "Don't ask anything, don't talk, just listen to me, and when the time comes, you will naturally understand." ”
After speaking, she turned her head again, looked at the cave wall not far in front of her in a daze, and was silent for a long time, just when Changxing felt that she might not be able to speak anymore, Li Chuyan's voice came slowly: "The changes in heaven and earth 40,000 years ago split the Huayan Realm into East Yanzhou and West Huazhou, the spiritual veins of Xihuazhou have been damaged, and the cultivation environment is declining day by day, but Dongyanzhou is different, although it has also been damaged, the great spiritual veins have not been damaged, the concentration of spiritual energy has hardly changed, and some places are even richer than before the mutation, and the atmosphere of cultivation is even more unprecedentedly high, and there are countless sects, There are many families......"
"For tens of thousands of years, the forces in Dongyanzhou have risen and fallen one after another, fighting each other, and many sects and families have been wiped out overnight, but in the many reshuffles, only the eight major factions and the three families who stand at the top have been standing tall, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger......
Changxing was a little puzzled, Xiao Yin had said a lot to her about the cultivation of Dongyanzhou, and what her mother said was basically the same as what Xiao Yin said, but how did her mother know this, and why did she say this? Changxing had some guesses in his heart, but he couldn't bear it or didn't ask.
Li Chuyan seemed to be a little tired, and after a moment of silence, her hoarse voice came again: "I won't talk about the eight major sects, most of them are big sects established before the change of heaven and earth, with profound heritage and strong strength...... Although the third family is a cultivator force established by the family, it can stand side by side with the eight major factions, and its strength should not be underestimated. ”
Changxing listened carefully, and when Li Chuyan said "the Jiang family in the Central Plains", he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: The Jiang family?
Immediately, she heard Li Chuyan's faint voice: "I was born in the Li family in the East China Sea......"
Changxing's eyes widened in disbelief, he covered his mouth suddenly, and suppressed his exclamation: Dong Yan Zhou! Sure enough, Niang is the same as Xiao Yin, she is from Dong Yan Zhou! And she is also a member of the Li family of the Middle East Sea of the Third Family!
Xiao Yin once talked about the Li family in the East China Sea, saying that because the Li family occupies a large area of the sea, it is rich in resources, and the water system spells are very good!
"My father is a descendant of the Li family, more than seventy years ago, he was already the peak of cultivation in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and now, I am afraid that it is already the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, if it goes well, it is not impossible to ...... the late Yuan Infant" Li Chuyan's face burst out
Ran showed a hint of mockery, and whispered softly: "How can it not go well? A person like him, with good qualifications, a good family background, and a dedicated cultivation, is difficult to ...... if he doesn't want to."
Changxing looked at Li Chuyan, only to see that the ridicule on her face had disappeared, and gradually diffused a look of regret or shame, looking very confused, Changxing raised his hand, wanting to hold her hand, but after all, he just lifted it up, and gently put it down.
"My mother died when I was very young, and my father was obsessed with cultivation, except for the occasional few words of advice, he hardly asked me about my life, I grew up with my mother......
"When I was a child, I always found an excuse to see my father, hoping that he could treat me kindly, hoping that he could stroke the top of my hair with his hand like an uncle did to his cousin, but my father never did, every time he was always very impatient, thinking that I had delayed his cultivation, for a long time, my father was not my father's, it didn't mean anything to me, I always loved to go to the back mountains to play, go down to the river to fish, go up the trees to dig birds' eggs, and chase rabbits all over the forest...... I remember that I also caught a fire rabbit and wanted to raise it as a spirit animal...... At that time, I lived a very happy life......"
Li Chuyan seemed to be very happy, a smile appeared on her face, and her brilliance suddenly appeared, which was very different from her usual coldness, her eyes were moisturized, and the whole person felt like the ice and snow melting in spring and the new sprouts spitting green, relaxed and bright.
Changxing has never seen Li Chuyan like this, those big eyes are particularly smart because of the smile, Changxing can't help but secretly praise: When my mother was young, she must have been very beautiful.
After a pause, Li Chuyan continued: "My own spiritual roots and comprehension are excellent, but I am not keen on cultivation, and I am usually playful and not diligent enough, and I only succeeded in building a foundation at the age of twenty-two......"
Changxing secretly thought in his heart, he built a foundation at the age of twenty-two, and he was already an elite in Zixiamen, but listening to his mother's meaning, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and the strength of the Li family in the East China Sea was so strong!
But since her mother has already built a foundation in her twenties, and now that more than 70 years have passed, why is she still only a third-layer cultivation of building a foundation, and her body is so dilapidated? Changxing has a lot of questions, but thinking of what her mother told her before, she didn't dare to ask, so she just listened quietly.
"Even if I don't like to cultivate, I am still very happy that I have succeeded in building the foundation, so I went to my father excitedly, wanting to hear my father praise me, but my father just said lightly, 'I know', I want to retreat and cultivate......"
"I looked at the back of my father's departure, in addition to anger or anger in my heart, since he only had cultivation in his heart, why did he marry my mother and give birth to me?"
"At that time, I was coquettish and willful, and I was provoked by several sisters in the family, so I ran away from home alone. ”
Li Chuyan closed her eyes, and a painful look appeared on her face: "But I didn't know that this negative exodus had become a turning point in my life and brought me into the abyss of hell! I dare not forget it for the rest of my life, and I can't forget those dark days!"
"If I knew that it would be like that, no matter how aggressive they were, I would never leave the Li family! It's a pity ......that there is no if" The atmosphere in the cave was very heavy, and Li Chuyan's suppressed and rapid breathing was heard.
"Soon after leaving the Li family, I met a person, he was very treacherous and cunning, I fell into his trap as a simple and stupid person, and he took me captive to the cave where he was hiding......" Li Chuyan's face turned even paler, and his body began to tremble slightly: "He is a demon, I have been tortured, I can't survive and die!"
Later, I learned that the man was hated
The family chased and killed, and he was injured before hiding there, but he was the cultivation of Jindan Dajing, I was not his opponent at all, I ran away several times, all of them were caught by him, and each time I escaped, I got back the insult and torture that intensified, I couldn't escape, so I had to change my attitude to please him, and then ...... Later, he probably saw that I was well-behaved, and his attitude towards me changed a lot, and gradually began to trust me, no longer beat me and torture me, and occasionally took me out a few times when he was happy......"
A touch of warmth flashed across Li Chuyan's face, and then disappeared again, replaced by a face full of pain and regret: "I have lived forty years in such a dark and frightened day...... Forty years!"
Changxing finally understood why Li Chuyan's body was in such a dilapidated state, and that person used her as a furnace! Changxing's hand grabbed the placket of her clothes, as if this could suppress the anger in her heart.
"After decades of being well-behaved and sensible, he thought that I was dead set on him, and he didn't manage me so strictly, so I took advantage of the critical juncture of his cultivation and took the opportunity to seriously injure him!" A smile appeared on Li Chuyan's pale face, cruel and cold: "I know that if I use a magic weapon, there will be spiritual power fluctuations, he is very alert, and his cultivation is higher than mine, I am afraid that he will find out, and I don't even dare to use the magic weapon, so I will do my best to insert the hairpin into his heart...... The hairpin was made for me by himself, it was a pattern I drew myself, and the hairpin was very long, more than a foot long, and I told him that I liked this style......
"He was very shocked and angry at the time, but I inserted the hairpin very deeply, and the blood sprayed me in the face, and my hands and body were full of his blood, and I never knew that a person would shed so much blood!
Li Chuyan suddenly covered her face with her hands, and it seemed that water was flowing from between her fingers.
"I panicked, I just knew to run forward desperately, I didn't expect him to be so seriously injured, but he still had the strength to catch up, I was really scared, if he was caught back this time, how would he torture me, I didn't dare to think about it, I didn't dare to stop a step, I just desperately ran forward, and the real person was going to kill me! I ran all the way, and I didn't even meet anyone, and then I ...... I panicked and fell off the cliff......"
Li Chuyan's expression returned to Mu Ran, and there seemed to be another sound in her ears from the person calling out to her and telling her to stop, she actually heard it at the time, but as soon as she thought of the day when she was caught, she thought in her heart that even if she jumped down and fell to her death, it would be better than being caught by her and tortured and then dying!
When she closed her eyes and stepped on the air, the moment her body fell rapidly, scenes flashed in front of her, one of which was a beautiful young woman sitting on the couch and calling her softly: "Yan'er, come to my mother......"
Li Chuyan's ears heard the man's eager voice again: "Yan'er! Stop! Don't run anymore...... Ahead is the Flying Immortal Trench!"
Li Chuyan smiled, in her memory, when she was in the Li family, only her mother would call her like this, and her father didn't even say much to her, how could he call her by her name?
But that person actually called her Yan'er! What an irony! Her body kept falling, she knew that she would definitely die, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad in her heart, but gradually she became calm as water, so it was good, she rarely had a happy time in her life, if she died at this time and was reincarnated, would she not be so bitter anymore.
Li Chuyan murmured softly, her voice dissipated in the wind as soon as she came out, a tear slipped across her cheek, and she slowly closed her eyes.
