Chapter 40: The Abandoned Son
Chengdu Mansion.
Shui Jing shook his fan, dressed as a scholar, and sat in a lotus pavilion outside the city, coughing from time to time.
On a brocade handkerchief, held in the palm of his hand, stains of blood are faintly visible.
"Senior brother, the word is passed in the door, saying that the master of the door has gone, and before leaving, he designated you as the next lineage elder."
Beside him, another Daoist wearing a moon-white Dao robe looked at him worriedly.
Shui Jing's face turned pale, and when he heard this, he coughed violently.
"Senior brother!"
This junior brother was busy supporting him, his palm imprinted on his back, slowly conveying true qi, combing his viscera.
"Don't worry, my body has been getting better recently!"
Shui Jing slowed down, shook his head, and said expressionlessly:
"The disciples who have entered the world to fight for the dragon are the abandoned sons of various Taoist sects!"
"If you assist the hidden dragon to succeed, you can collect the qi, and you can help the door; If there is a disagreement, the door will be cut off to survive, and we can't think about it, so we can only be buried together! ”
"At that time, the city of Chengdu was broken, and the king of Shu was almost killed, did the door ever care about my life or death?"
With a mockery on his face, he sneered:
"Do you know where my sickness comes from?"
The junior brother shook his head blankly.
"Hehe, I obeyed the order of the master, went down the mountain to assist the hidden dragon, and connected with the hidden dragon qi."
"If the dragon dies, I will be condemned to death!"
"My body is sick, five labors and seven injuries, and it is the backlash that fell that night!"
Shui Jing's right hand tightly grasped the brocade handkerchief, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and he looked at the group of koi in the lotus pond in a daze.
"At that time, Xuandong and Xuanming were right in front of my eyes, bleeding from the seven orifices, wailing and dying·······"
"I was lucky enough to survive, but I also wasted my life······ Fortunately, the King of Shu was ignited by Xuanjun, resurrected from the dead, and reversed the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, and I survived the qi backlash! ”
"It is the King of Shu who saved me, and I don't resent him, because entering the World Fulong Court is a matter of death········ The king of Shu himself died once that night, and there were more than 100,000 dead and wounded in the city? I don't blame him, but I want to thank him for saving his life! ”
"But the master was stingy with that little bit of energy, and sat back and watched the three of us die······· Hey, after all, we are just unfavored disciples after all, no more talented than those true disciples, as long as we stay in the door, we can sit back and enjoy their success·········· Hahahaha, what an injustice! ”
Shui Jing was born laughing again, laughing so much that he burst into tears.
"Senior brother, you've said this!"
When the junior brother heard this, his face changed greatly.
Shui Jing shook his head slowly and said:
"Now the door depends on me, so I can say so."
"After this incident, I can be regarded as dead once, and some things can be seen!"
Shui Jing sneered:
"Mingcheng, you don't understand, if the head is still there at this time, even if I point to his nose and scold, he won't care about me!"
"Because of the thirteen inner disciples who have now entered the world to fight for the dragon, only me and Tongxuan are still alive."
"I have the position of the Eight Rank Curse Forbidden Doctor of the Forbidden Division of the King of Shu, if I live, the master will be able to get the support of the Shu Dragon Qi, and many elders in the sect are counting on this to cultivate Dao Gong, even if it is the head of the sect, he can't embarrass me at this time!"
"If I die at this moment, in a short period of time, there will be no one to replace me, and even if I have, I want to climb to the eighth grade······ How long do you guess it? ”
This was said in a way that was so dumbfounded that it was as if a new world had been opened.
"So-"
Shui Jing shook his finger and said with a smile:
"I can scold, but you can't!"
"This time, that time!"
"After this great tribulation, I am trusted by the King of Shu, and now I am no longer the inner disciple Shui Jing of the past, but the Curse Forbidden Si Zheng Eight Rank Curse Forbidden Doctor under the command of the King of Shu, and even the Dao Gong will slowly recover!"
"There are many places that rely on me in the future······ Brother, let's see! ”
The junior brother had a complicated mind, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
It's just that seeing this senior brother who was not very conspicuous in the past, and now he has a faint bearing, he has some scheming in his heart, knowing that this senior brother is not boasting in vain, I am afraid that he has really gained a lot of training, and even gave him a feeling when he met a real person, although this feeling is very light, very light.
"Then, the junior brother will go back to the door first······· Alas, senior brother, you ······ Treasure it! ”
Senior brother Mingcheng sighed and gradually walked away.
The water mirror looked out of the pavilion, only to see the smoke and rain on the lotus pond, and the corridor, rockery, and garden were all shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
At this time, a figure turned out behind the rockery, holding a paper umbrella, walked straight into the pavilion, and sat down beside him, but it was the junior brother Tongxuan who went down the mountain with him.
"Senior Brother Shuijing, is the master here again?"
"Here we are."
Tong Xuan sighed:
"The King of Shu died first and then came to life, I still can't believe it······ On that day, the cave wailed and died in front of my eyes, but I couldn't even keep my own ········"
"I think about it, I also have a heavy loss in the door, and I don't know how much the merit and qi accumulated in the Qinglian Pond have been lost."
Shui Jing snorted and said:
"At least three petals are withered, isn't this gas number a small thing?"
"We have suffered this ordeal, we have all suffered from God's curse, and the Xuandong has exhausted the Dao Gong and longevity, but it is not enough, and we have fallen into the underworld, you and I are just lucky, and we have survived to the moment of the resurrection of the King of Shu, otherwise I will be with him below now!"
Thinking of the damnation of that night, both of them were awe-inspiring.
Mortals are not afraid of damnation, because their senses are not acute, or difficult to feel.
However, those who cultivate the true Dao, maintain their health and refine their qi, their luck is beyond humanity, and gradually echoes with heaven and earth, once they encounter the curse of heaven, or the number of qi is reversed, they are actually much more vulnerable than mortals.
Mortals are involuntarily separated from humanity because of their qi, and they will not be directly punished by heaven, and they are generally manifested in other aspects.
or death, or sores on the back, or disease, or children and grandchildren, etc······· Retribution before death, and then go to the underworld to suffer after death, and continue to pay off.
However, in any case, Qi Refiners are still inferior to mortals in this regard, and this is the price of wanting to transcend the world.
After all, you are free from the shackles of earthly luck, and gradually you are not blessed by humanity, and you can only bear the punishment of the vast world with your own small body and your own ability.
"A mere future Dharma Elder is just a temptation, if I don't show some resentment, how can I reach out to the door and ask for benefits?"
Tong Xuan also shook his head helplessly:
"Why bother? Teachers always want to give us benefits. ”
"Although you and I were abandoned sons before, but at this time and that time, after this difficulty, you and I now have the confidants of the king of Shu, and the number of qi is added, and the real karma position is expected in the future, and the future is great, how can the master sit idly by?"
The water mirror was silent, and it took a long time to tell the truth:
“······ I'm just trying to get some benefits for the cave! ”
"You and I originally suffered a backlash, but now we have to make up for it with the Qi of the King of Shu, and it has gradually eased, even so, the original lost lifespan will not be able to come back."
"You and I are still like this, how is the cave in the underworld?"
"He doesn't have the position of the Curse Division now! These backlashes can only be borne by himself! ”
"The master gave up some merits and qi to receive one or two, so that he could be classified into the blessed land of the underworld, and it is also good to cultivate a ghost immortal."
Tong Xuan was also speechless for a while, and the scene was suddenly silent, only the sound of rain outside the pavilion was heard.
The rain entered the pavilion and hit the cheeks, slightly cool.
"In addition to Xuandong, there are other junior disciples, although they are not very familiar with the past, but in the end, they have also made great efforts for the master."
"In the past, it was just a matter of ignoring the master, but now that the situation has eased and the number of qi has risen, if you don't think about rescue, I'm afraid it will be chilling!"
"Although it is said that entering the WTO and fighting for the dragon is all voluntary, but in the end, the brothers and sisters have gone down the mountain together and got along for several years, and this affection is still there."
Tong Xuan said slowly:
"Senior brother, sign for me too, and always ask for an explanation for them."
