Chapter 8: The Hundredth Order
Everyone looked up at the vague back of the Immortal Lord, who was a rock, a little impatient.
After an hour, everyone finally saw her step up, and the scene reappeared, like the prince and the son of Shoufu, everyone felt pity, but they also felt that it was understandable, and it was probably a failure.
After two hours, Shangguan Yuyao's raised foot finally landed on the ninety-first step, and after a while, it remained as it was. This action caused the crowd to be surprised, and it would be a sin to hold their breath for fear of disturbing her.
And it came to pass after two more hours, that they saw her stepping on her other foot, and standing on the ground in victory. The people below burst into overwhelming applause, and some people shouted that the lord of the immortal county was mighty, only to see her feet not stopping, and continued to climb up, her back was indescribably chic and elegant, like a feathered fairy, causing the man below to blush, and the girl gritted her teeth and was jealous.
Ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five. She paused at ninety-five, hooked the hair behind her ear, and smiled slightly, but unfortunately no one saw this beautiful side, and climbed the stairs.
When everyone saw her step into the hundredth step, they talked about it and looked at her with envy. Since then, she is not only the county lord, but also the only apprentice of the national teacher, and the latter's status is much higher than the former, even surpassing the prince.
As soon as Shangguan Yuyao stepped on the hundred steps, a palace appeared in front of him, magnificent, and two gates engraved with nine white cranes slowly opened from the inside.
She entered slowly, secretly vigilant, and looked around, only to see a middle-aged man with his back to the door, turned to look at her with a calm gaze, and with a certain sadness in the depths of his eyes, and said to her in a low voice:
"It's been 10,000 years, no one has stepped in for 10,000 years, and I've finally waited for you. I don't have much time, long story short, I'm the guardian of the owner of the Chaos Bead, and you haven't refined it yet," he paused when he saw the other party's guarded eyes, and continued, "If you don't come here, it may take another ten years, don't worry, I won't harm you." Let's end the cause and effect of you and me today. ”
Shangguan Yuyao's eyes were less vigilant, she bent down and saluted, and asked with a respectful face: "Senior, who are you? Why are you my guardian? What is the cause between us? What is the effect? Forgive the juniors for offending, life is at stake, please clarify the doubts of the seniors." ”
The other party's expression was not angry, but his tone was a little gentler than just now, and he replied gently: "I am the founder of the Nine Heavens Hall of the Yunhai Continent, my name is Ye Jiuxiao, as for the cause and effect of you and me, your strength is still small now, and you will know it in the future." My divine sense can't last long, and I can only help you refine the Chaos Bead. ”
After hearing this, Shangguan Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, took out the Chaos Bead from the tassel, wiped it with his sleeve and put it in his mouth, and motioned to the other party.
Ye Jiuxiao's eyes became deep, and he waved his hand to inject the surrounding spirit and demon qi into her body, and used the spirit and demon qi to push the beads to swim in the twelve veins of her body.
Shangguan Yuyao only felt that her muscles and veins were expanding, as if they were about to explode, and the blood penetrated her clothes and leached out of the corners of her mouth, but she didn't shout to stop, closed her eyes, and gritted her teeth.
Gradually, sweat wet the hair, the dress. Her consciousness was confused, and she only felt that there was no end to this pain, and her body could not support it, so she fell to the ground and curled up in a ball.
Finally, Ye Jiuxiao stopped moving, and with a wave of his hand, he restored his original appearance, and said to her freely: "My divine consciousness has dissipated into the world, and I have transmitted a technique into your mind, so cultivate it yourself." Your cultivation path has just begun, I have just used the chaotic power to improve your cultivation, you have reached the ninth layer of vitality, junior, I hope you cherish yourself. The last word fell, and he had dissipated into a little light.
Shangguan Yuyao knelt down and bowed three times, her heart was not easy, and after a while, she cleaned up her mood and walked towards the door.
Outside the door stood a man, his face blurred by the backlight. Shangguan Yuyao took a closer look, this person looked like a pine, his face was cold, like a snow-capped mountain, difficult to approach, two pairs of cold eyes looked at him, dressed in white, it was the national teacher.
She hurriedly bent down and saluted, with a hint of a smile, and said respectfully: "Master, from today on, I will be your apprentice, please give me a lot of advice." After speaking, he opened the corners of his mouth and raised a big smile.
After hearing this, the national teacher's expression did not change, and he replied coldly: "Ling Anfeng, my name, I will go to the National Teacher's Mansion to hold a ceremony of apprenticeship in three days." After speaking, without waiting for her reaction, he turned around and left.
His indifferent appearance, Shangguan Yuyao had a trace of desire, is it more challenging to break it.
After going down the ladder to the sky, looking around, and after greeting everyone, he grabbed Wu Xiaoxiao's wrist and dragged her to the forest yesterday despite her struggle.
"Shangguan Yuyao, don't go too far, you have become the apprentice of the national teacher, and you still come to trouble me, are you too cautious. Wu Xiaoxiao yelled at Yu Yao's back.
"I'm sorry, I'm a grudge, people give me a slap, I want to return two slaps. Shangguan Yuyao was not angry, and accepted it all with praise.
An hour later, the two came to yesterday's tree pit, Wu Xiaoxiao knew what she was going to do, and immediately struggled violently, but was still kicked down by Shangguan Yuyao.
"I'm not like you, and I just let you stay in the tree pit, by the way, you're hungry, you can eat wild boar, I'm leaving. Yu Yao turned around and left directly, no matter how the people behind her pleaded and cursed.
When I returned to the house, I was congratulated by my subordinates, and my mood broke free from the tyranny.
In the conference hall, the family chatted happily about today's events, and they were all happy for Shangguan Yuyao.
Shangguan Yu chatted and chatted, remembered the ninetieth order, and asked curiously, "Yu Yao, how did you climb the ninety-first order today? What is so strange about the hundredth order?"
The other two looked at their daughter with the same curiosity.
Shangguan Yuyao omitted the details, only said a rough idea, and replied to them with a smile: "The difficulty of ascending the ninety-first step is that it is a very realistic dilemma to keep the original intention and insist on oneself, which will make people lose their minds. ”
She stopped and took a sip of tea to hide her fear, put down the teacup, and continued: "The hundredth level is a reward, and this reward can make us no longer be constrained by Emperor Qing. ”
The three of them didn't ask what the illusion was, nor what the reward was, and trusted her wholeheartedly.
"Father, where did you get the Flowing Spirit Bead you wore for me with the Full Moon Wine?" Shangguan Yuyao saw his father looking at his empty tassels, and hurriedly said, "The Flowing Spirit Bead was placed in a safe place by me, please rest assured, father." ”
After hearing what she said, Shangguan Cheng hurriedly got down and went to the door to see if there was anyone around, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "That bead was held in your mouth on the day you were born, and no one found it, or your mother saw it, so she quickly hid it." ”
He took a sip of the teacup, moistened his throat, and continued to suppress his throat and said: "That day, the emperor asked me if there were any treasures appearing, but I didn't know, so I didn't arouse suspicion. I thought that the emperor would ask such a question, and the matter would be over, but I didn't expect that on the second day, I found traces of being turned over in the study, and I didn't startle the snake. After five days, I pretended to go out, quietly avoided everyone, squatted outside the study and eavesdropped, only to know that Emperor Qing had not let go of his suspicions. ”
"So, you understand that it's not safe to hide anywhere, just give me a full moon gift in public, and make a lamp go dark. Shangguan Yuyao continued her father's words.
"Emperor Qing didn't find the treasure, so he paid attention to Yu Yao's body, and hinted to his father to let the prince marry you as a concubine, and his father sent you away every time under the pretext that you were still young. However, tomorrow he will definitely announce you into the palace, beat you well, coerce and lure, and even threaten the lives of the whole family. However, you don't want to directly conflict with him, but you don't have to promise him, you should be false and wronged first, and it is best to mention the national teacher. Shangguan Yu said what he thought.
Shangguan Yuyao nodded, signaled that she understood, hugged her tearful mother, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly: "My daughter will be fine, she has become the apprentice of the national teacher, and the first step is right." ”
After dinner, the family went back to their rooms to rest.
The moon hung on the tip, the crickets chirping in a low voice outside the window, and the whispers of the maids outside, Shangguan Yuyao felt that she could hear it more clearly than before.
Originally, I was going to see Ye Jiuxiao's exercises, but my body and mind relaxed, and I fell asleep with my head on the pillow.
