Chapter Seventy-Seven: Splitting the Spirit
"My ancestors cultivated the Tao for generations, and I am also a member of the Tao. How could the mountain god not know? In the face of Jue Li's questioning, Xu Duchen didn't understand.
"Now that the situation is critical, and I have lost all my mana, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you this time. I know you've seen through life and death, but I have to let you know that you're not mortal. ”
"What do you mean by the mountain god?"
That year, Yunjing was punished by the Emperor of Heaven and relegated to the mortal world. Because I swallowed the Fallen God Pill, the immortal base was destroyed, and I knew that I was powerless to protect Yunjing, so I turned into a mortal with my magic weapon, Qiyunluo, and injected one of my souls into it, so that I became you. Jue Li said slowly, and Xu Duchen listened in disbelief.
"So, I'm just a mountain god and a sub-spirit of yours?"
"So to speak."
After a long time, Xu Duchen smiled bitterly: "I now understand why I always regard Yunjing's life and death as so important. Sometimes I wonder if a master is too much to treat an apprentice like this. Hearing you say this, I finally understand that I came with a mission to protect her. ”
"That's right."
"Now, then, is the mountain god going to take me back?"
Jue Li shook his head: "Although I am not sure that I will protect you, at least I must ensure that Yunjing can meet you." ”
"What about seeing or not seeing? Sooner or later, Jing'er will know that her battle with my master and apprentice is just an illusion. ”
"No, the love between you is real. Even if Yunjing returns to the godhood, she will not forget it. ”
"It's just that you're guarding her in a different way. Now that the truth is revealed, you are me, and I am also you, so there is no need to distinguish so clearly. ”
"I'm telling you this just to make you more liberated, and don't be afraid of whoever deals with you. I'll teach you a spell that if you feel like you can't dodge, you can recite it, and you will immediately return to your original body and avoid the pain of your flesh and skin. ”
Xu Duchen said with a smile: "I am an outsider, but now that it is really time to part, I am still reluctant to this mortal world." ”
"You were designed by someone to fall to this point, but you have done Yunjing a great favor, she has won a big victory and won the Kingdom of Jin."
"Really?" Xu Duchen smiled with satisfaction, "My Jing'er has always been so good. ”
"It's just that do you know who did the talisman and the edict?"
"I can't think of anyone else, the biggest possibility is Zhang Yan. On that day, I was meditating in the Taoist monastery, and a father-in-law who was always serving beside the official family brought the other half of the tiger talisman and the edict, saying that Jingyuan and Yunjing were invincible outside the country, and they should step up their help. I saw that the tiger talisman was sure to be true, and I was worried about Yunjing in my heart, so I went to transfer troops. ”
"Where is the father-in-law who came to deliver the tiger talisman now?"
"Nowhere to be found. With Zhang Yan on the side, I have already given me face if the official family did not execute him immediately. ”
"Zhang Yannai is the incarnation of the Demon King Chiling, he came specifically to seek revenge on me, it is not enough to destroy my mana, he still wants to kill me completely, but I don't understand, what did he put you to death for?"
"Is it because I injured Yizhu? Later, I heard Yunjing say that Yizhu was seriously injured and died, even if she did a lot of evil, I was also serious. ”
Jue Li shook his head: "Yizhu is just a pawn of Chi Ling, he has no intention of avenging her, he must have another purpose." ”
"Is he going to use me against Yunjing?"
"If it's for this, instead of dealing with you, who are more favored by the emperor and have stronger mana, it would be easier for him to tie up Li Zhenggang."
"Then ...... him"
"I guess he's trying to take advantage of your Nedan. He thinks that if you are profound, you must be pure. ”
"Actually?"
"I just said, you are one of my spirits, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Demon King, you don't have Neidan."
In order to facilitate the conversation between Yu Li and Xu Duchen, Yiran set up an enchantment in the prison. But not for too long, so as not to arouse suspicion. In case you encounter Chiling again, it will be even more troublesome. Therefore, half an hour later, she came to remind her that it was time to leave.
Jue Li said goodbye to Xu Duchen, and Xu Duchen suddenly said: "Mountain God, I have persuaded Jing'er to follow Jingyuan, I hope you can understand." ”
Jue Li smiled: "Of course I understand, because in your heart, you are always towards her." "Just like me.
After they left, Xu Duchen finally sat against the wall unsupportively.
Recalling the first time she saw Yunjing, she was still in swaddling clothes, her little face was flushed, and she couldn't stop crying. For some reason, when he saw her, his heart became very soft.
"When she grows up, you have to be her master, protect her, help her practice well, and become an immortal as soon as possible." He left him aside.
He couldn't help but listen to the words of the mountain god, but in fact, he was happy in his heart.
Later, when Yunjing went up the mountain, he saw her, combing two small pigtails, innocent.
"Jing'er, this will be your home from now on." He said to her.
At that time, recommended by Li Zhenggang, he was already valued by the emperor, and he had to run to the palace every now and then. He arranged for a calm personality and good kung fu spirit to take care of this little junior sister.
She grew up slowly in the White Crane Temple, no, time actually flies quickly. She has changed from the little girl who loves to cry to a girl who is loved by everyone, she is still so naughty, listening to spiritual reports, often sneaking down the mountain to play and steal game. But fortunately, he is very diligent, and he has cultivated his internal and external skills very well.
But Heaven didn't give her much time. She was injured by the villain's design, how distressed he was, so he thought of a way to let her go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make a great contribution as soon as possible.
And she finally lived up to everyone's expectations and became a female general who terrified the enemy.
Jing'er is already very powerful, so strong that no one can bully her without Master. He smiled. Everything he had just thought about was like a dream, and he wanted to be intoxicated by this dream and not wake up.
"Let's go back to Beishan." Out of the palace, Yiran said, at this time, Jingshun had also sent Li Zhenggang back to his home and followed them.
"Yiran, I think you're going to Kunlun Mountain." Jueli stopped and said.
"Why?" Although he was a little weak-hearted, Yiran still looked directly into Jue Li's eyes.
"The Queen Mother of the West's royal Fang Ding, it's time to go back." Yu Li said lightly.
Yi then took a step back, and it turned out that he knew everything.
"Don't you think it's strange, official? Why is this Royal Fang Ding, Chi Ling can use it if he wants to? ”
"Chi Ling is insidious and cunning, and it's not the first time that Yu Fang Ding has been used by him."
"In the past, he was able to escape your suppression through Yu Fang Ding, and that was because he bought Jing Lin. Now that the Royal Fang Ding is in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, how can he easily get it? Could it be that the Queen Mother of the West secretly connived? If that's the case, then we'll send it over at this time, but we can't tell. Maybe someone will take the opportunity to hit you. ”
"I know you want to keep the Imperial Fang Ding to deal with Chiling. But do you know that the backlash effect of Yu Fangding is very large? If you want to have a high level of good fortune, you can use it, and ordinary people will die once if you use it once. ”
"As long as I can protect you, I'm not afraid of death."
"Don't be rash, not only will it not help me, but it will make people seize the handle."
"Okay, okay, I know in my heart, I'll pay it back." Yiran agreed, and actually had an idea in his heart.
After a few days of running, Yunjing and Jingyuan finally rushed back to the palace.
Nian played a huge role in her battle against Jin, and the emperor granted her permission to meet Xu Duchen.
In the cell, Yun Jing knelt down in front of the master, and tears that had been suppressed for several days welled up.
Xu Duchen felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Master is fine, Master is fine." ”
"It's all strange that Jing'er came back too late and couldn't save Master." Yunjing sobbed.
As every time she cried in the past, Xu Duchen wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "Silly girl, you have made a great contribution, and Master is happy for you!" ”
"I don't want any work, I just want Master to be good." For Yunjing, because she left home since she was a child, Master was almost closer than her father and mother, and when she heard that Master had an accident, she didn't sleep and changed several horses along the way before finally coming to see Master. knew that winning the battle would come at the expense of the master, and she was easily invincible.
Xu Duchen patted her on the shoulder: "I'm talking stupid things again, when your merits are fully ascended to immortal, it's not a matter of words to save the master!" ”
Yunjing raised his head: "Really? ”
Xu Duchen nodded.
"However, I have already won the battle, why don't you let me ascend to immortal?"
"Don't worry, you have to wait for the heavenly immortals to assess you one by one!" Xu Duchen said with a smile.
"I don't expect immortals anymore, Master." Yunjing leaned close to Xu Duchen's ear and whispered, "I'll come to rescue you tonight." ”
When Xu Duchen heard that she was going to rob the prison, he hurriedly shook his head: "I can't help it." ”
"I'm going to get you out."
"Jing'er, you listen to the teacher." Xu Duchen said with a straight face, "If you still recognize me as a master, you must not act recklessly. Master has come to this day, and I am deeply grateful to Master Zu for his blessing to see with my own eyes that you have made great contributions. If you do anything else, everything we have done will be wasted. ”
"I said I don't want anyone to sacrifice for me." Yunjing said firmly.
"It's not who makes sacrifices for whom, everyone has his karma, no matter if it's a Da Luo Jin Immortal, he can't escape cause and effect. Jing'er, you are now imprisoned by the mortal body, and after you become an immortal, everything will be fully understood. ”
"I'll say it again, if I become an immortal at the expense of you, then I'd rather not become an immortal!"
Xu Duchen sighed helplessly: "You are embarrassing the master like this." ”
Jing Yuan talked about the emperor and the queen and others, and went back to the dormitory to rest. He was also tired from a few days of traveling. When he met the emperor, he was grateful for the help of the reinforcements, but his father didn't give him the opportunity to intercede for Xu Duchen in the slightest.
As soon as I returned to the dormitory, an uninvited guest came, it was Yiran.
"What are you going to do?" Jing Yuan asked.
"Return the treasure to Your Highness."
Jing Yuan was shocked when he saw the Imperial Fang Ding in Yiran's hand, but he still asked quietly, "How can you give me such a precious thing?" ”
"Your Highness, you'll use it."
