Chapter 589: Twilight Spiritual Master
"Hide, they're coming out."
After listening for a while, Sun Ran glanced at Man Xiu, and the two hurriedly retreated behind the bookshelf on the side.
After a while, the tiger appeared, looked left and right, and then walked out of the library with a calm expression. After a few more minutes, an old man with gray hair, a wrinkled face, dressed in black, walked out, and wherever he went, the students stood up and respectfully shouted, "Dean." ”
The old man replied with a kind face and a smile.
This guy turned out to be the dean of the Mind Academy, who would have thought that such a kind old man with high moral standing would be the minions of the Nightmare Beast?
After the dean walked out of the library, Sun Ran and Man Xiu sneaked out quietly, and walked far away until they showed their figure in a secluded corner.
"I didn't expect things to be so bad!" Sun Ran's brows furrowed.
Manxiu was gloomy, with tears in her eyes, from the conversation between the tiger and the dean just now, she had already received news from the lion and Lan Li.
Both of them met with misfortune, the lion was captured by the Nightmare Beast and degenerated into a Soul Rotter, but Lan Li chose to self-destruct at the last moment. And the one who caused all this was the tiger, he was the first to be corrupted, and then he used the same trick as now, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the two, and suddenly turned his face.
"Whether it's a tiger or a lion, I'm going to kill them with my own hands and avenge Lan Li!" Man Xiu said coldly, with a decisive glint in his eyes.
At this time, someone passed by in front of him, and Sun Ran calmly persuaded: "Calm down, Manxiu, now the tiger doesn't know that we already know the truth, this is our advantage!" ”
This advantage is used well, and it can turn defeat into victory at a critical time!
Manxiu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. A slight smile appeared on his face: "I listen to you, Sun Ran." ”
"That's good. I am your attendant now, so, master, begin the pilgrimage. ”
"Hmm." Man-so nodded and looked in the direction. He strode towards the most magnificent building in the city, the Tower of Milagia.
Milagia, said to be the name of a psychic master of antiquity, united with his psychic apprentices to build the Tower of Wonders, which is nearly a thousand meters high and towers over the earth like a sword piercing the sky. The leader of the Tower of Light Spiritual Master lives on the spire, and he is known to the world as the closest person to God, and is revered as a sage among men.
For the class of spiritual masters, the status of this spiritual teacher is also very high. Not only does he possess the most powerful psychic powers, but he also has a great reputation.
This spiritual mentor is the spiritual leader of the Red Moon people, almost a mortal god.
The so-called pilgrimage is to worship this spiritual teacher and pay homage to the glory of this mortal sage. There are many people who come to the pilgrimage, there are ordinary people, ascetics, and spiritual teachers. Among them, there are also ninth-level spiritual masters, but in front of spiritual masters. All people are equal.
These people lined up in front of Mirajiata, patiently waiting for the spiritual master to receive them.
People are very quiet and patient, and they just stand quietly and do not go to rest in the middle of the way, as a sign of reverence for the spiritual master.
Manxiu is here. Standing at the back of the queue that had been nearly a kilometer long, he began to wait patiently for the reception of his spiritual master.
I waited for a full month!
The spiritual mentor only received twenty people a day, and a month later, it was Manxiu's turn.
this month. Sun Ran's split soul is still doing evil everywhere outside, and the influence is getting worse and worse, and the Tower of Light is also greatly affected.
From time to time, they could see many powerful Spiritual Masters flying in and out of the Holy City, all of them to capture Sun Ran.
Each time, the psychic masters went in high spirits, and then came back dejected, some with injuries, and apparently, every capture failed.
In the gathering place of the Red Moon people, doubts about the power of the Tower of Light have begun to faintly appear, and the spiritual masters of the Tower of Light are becoming more and more anxious.
It was in this situation that Manxiu entered Milagiyata and met the so-called spiritual mentor.
Although Sun Ran was an attendant, everyone was equal in front of the spiritual master, so he also followed in and met with the leader of the Tower of Light with Manxiu.
This spiritual master was very old, tired, wearing a pure white robe, wearing a crown of wattle wood on his head, and holding a thornwood cane in his hand, standing quietly in front of the window, looking out at the distant scenery.
He heard the footsteps behind him, turned around, looked at Man Xiu and Sun Ran who came in, and asked gently, "So, child, what confusion do you have in your hearts?" ”
Man Xiu saluted the old man and said, "Mentor, I want to know, has the Great Demon God really woken up?" ”
The old man's face froze, he glanced at Man Xiu carefully, and then sighed: "You should be Man Xiu recommended by the Governor of Dulan." You are already a ninth-level spiritual master, and you are qualified to know the truth. I tell you unequivocally, the Great Demon God, who has never been dormant, who has always coveted our souls. ”
"But?"
"But we've been preaching the death of the Great Demon God, haven't we?" The old man's face was full of bitter smiles: "That's because even if ordinary people know about this, they can't change the facts except for futile panic." There are enough things to worry about in their lives, and there is no need to add such unnecessary worries. ”
"Open your eyes, close your eyes. If we turn a blind eye, will we not condone the darkness? When will the darkness stop? Man-so asked.
"Stop? No, the darkness cannot be stopped, from ancient times to the present day. The masters of the ancient and medieval minds proved it to us with their lives. Their power is ten times greater than mine, and their wisdom goes straight to the essence of the world. But such powerful masters all fell at the feet of the Great Demon God. What can we mortals do? The old man asked rhetorically.
"I feel the despair in your heart!" Manxiu frowned, she found that this so-called spiritual mentor was not ignorant of the facts, but that he had completely accepted his fate and lost the fighting spirit to resist.
"Child, I envy your vigor, but the truth is always cruel. You can stay in the Tower of Light if you wish. Isn't there a rot master who is messing around now? Follow the Spiritual Masters in the Holy City to meet for a moment this fallen who may have been revered by us as an envoy of the gods. When you truly appreciate the power of the Soul Rotter, you will truly understand the power of the Great Demon God. The old man's voice was faint, and the tiredness on his face was even thicker, and his body was full of twilight.
After speaking, the old man's eyes looked at Sun Ran and asked, "Child, then, what confusion do you have?" ”
He didn't want to talk to Manshu.
Sun Ran saluted and asked, "I'm not confused. There is only one sentence to say. ”
"Oh? Then you can say it. The spiritual master smiled slightly, he saw devout believers every day, and this kind of self-righteous young man was quite new.
"I think you underestimate the power of mortals. The power of mortals combined, although it may not be enough to defeat the Great Demon God, can make him feel jealous. Otherwise, since the Great Demon God was not dormant, why didn't he just crush it and destroy the Holy City? Sun Ran asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "What you said has some truth, but the real battle is not so simple. Although our strength is huge, it is too loose to be the opponent of the Great Demon God. History has proven this. ”
"History is created by people, and if there is no past, it does not mean that there will not be in the future!" Sun Ran's voice was indifferent, without any emotion, just rationally stating a fact.
"Oh, child, it seems that you have learned the temper of your master, both of you are the same, young and stubborn. Words alone can't convince you, so go ahead and follow your master to fight against that Soul Rotter. The spiritual mentor smiled faintly, and there was some sadness in his eyes.
He knew very well in his heart that he was indeed old, and he had long lost that hard work, and he didn't care about all the gains and losses. Although these two young men were arrogant and rude, he didn't care and even had some appreciation.
"I hope your edges are sharp enough to pierce this darkness, young man." He silently added in his heart.
When it came to this, there was nothing left to talk about, and the two withdrew.
"He may have been a true spiritual mentor in the past, but now, he is just a tired old man who is about to come to an end. Although he is not dead, his mind has begun to rot, and it is rotting along with the entire Red Moon Race. Manxiu sighed, she felt infected by the old guy's twilight, and her heart was panicking.
Sun Ran was not affected in the slightest, and smiled heartily: "Didn't he tell us to fight against the Soul Rotter?" This is a great opportunity to reform the old and welcome the new, and buy people's hearts. Let's go, Man-so, he's old and doesn't want to move, that's just right, when he's finished. It's up to you to change all this decline. ”
This old guy doesn't look like he will live long, and Man-so can take the opportunity to show his immense strength and become a new spiritual mentor.
Man Xiuwan smiled, and his mood was much lighter: "Sun Ran, you are right, this is a good opportunity." ”
The two of them left Milagiyata and went directly to the Psychic Guard in the Holy City.
"I'm the ninth-level Psychic Master Manxiu, this is my squire Leopard, and the Psychic Master has asked us to join the guards and fight against the Rotten Soul Master together."
The captain of this guard was busy with the affairs of the Soul Rotting Master, and when he heard that Manxiu was a powerful Soul Master of the ninth level, coupled with the order of the Spiritual Master, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said, "Master Manxiu, you have come just in time, we need a powerful person like you." Our search party is going to go down again tomorrow to hunt down that demon, and you just happen to go with you, how about it? ”
"It's an honor to fight alongside you!" Of course, Man-so has no opinion. (To be continued......)
