Chapter 50
"Si Che Daojun, where is my master?"
Early in the morning, Lin Huaizhu anxiously came to the Liangyi Palace, and couldn't wait to walk into the hall, but when she looked around, she didn't see Qin Jianglan's figure, she turned to look at Si Che and asked.
"Your master? He went out before dawn when he had something, do you have something to do with him? Seeing her hurried appearance, Si Che asked curiously.
"Where did he go?"
"Isn't he ready to retreat, saying that he hasn't refined the natal weapon for a few of your disciples yet, so he went down the mountain to prepare the refining materials, and it will take a few days to come back, to say the least." Si Che remembered someone's repeated words to him before leaving, and hurriedly said again, "Oh yes, your master said that although he has come down the mountain, your cultivation can't be short, let you go to the apse sword formation to practice by yourself, and Bai Yao will watch you." ”
"Oh." Thinking of the sword array, Lin Huaizhu's face suddenly drooped, and the whole person was listless, with a loveless appearance on his face, he moved to the apse one by one, full of reluctance, and accepted the assessment of the sword array.
Si Che looked at her as if she was going to die heroically, and he also twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, shook his head at her back, and then turned around and left.
Lin Huaizhu had already forgotten the requirements for clearing the sword array because she was hiding something in her heart, and when she was shaking her head, she still smashed the phantom sword that rushed towards her, and it was not until she found the hilt of the sword that the barrier disappeared.
Bai Yao stood on the camellia tree, watched her come out of the sword array, poked her head out and said, "You have broken ninety-seven phantom swords, which are not qualified and unqualified, but they are better than yesterday, and there are still two surviving." ”
Lin Huaizhu glanced at the hilt of the sword in his hand, threw it back into the formation, responded weakly and casually, walked to the bamboo collapse in the bamboo forest, and lay down directly.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Yao squatted on the tree, looked at her half-dead, stretched her head and asked, "I always feel like you don't have any energy today." ”
It looks wilted, but it didn't dare to say it directly to Lin Huaizhu, so it had to make up for it secretly in his heart.
"It's nothing, I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well." Lin Huaizhu thought of last night's dream, and still felt a trembling heart, just thinking about it would cause a dull and heart-wrenching pain to welling up in her chest, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Well, I see that your face is also a little pale, so let's go back and rest quickly."
Lin Huaizhu was absent-minded, his thoughts had already fallen into yesterday's dream, and his right hand unconsciously grabbed a few chess pieces on the side of the chess, held it in the palm of his hand and released it, his expression was very solemn.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Bai Yao had never seen her like this, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Obsidian ......"
"What?"
“…… It's nothing, I went back to the house and practiced the mental method. ”
“……”
Lin Huaizhu still couldn't say the doubts in her heart, she returned to Luofeng Courtyard with a sad stomach, and began to practice the ground level wood system exercises that Qin Jianglan had found for her.
So in the days before Qin Jianglan came back, she either practiced the exercises in the house every day, or went to the sword array to try, she was very diligent, but she also shocked everyone's jaws, and everyone wondered in their hearts whether she was stimulated by something, and suddenly became so diligent and hardworking.
You must know that among the most unenterprising true disciples of the Taichu Sect, Lin Huaizhu is ranked first, and the number of votes is even higher than the second-ranked Wudingfeng true disciple Jiang Wenze, who is more than half of the votes, which is a well-deserved first place.
"Hey, hey, are you stimulated by something?" Jiang Wenze sat on the swing in her small courtyard, crossed his legs, watched her practice wooden spells, and asked with horror on his face, "Let's catch fish, go to barbecue, and steal wine and drink!" It's been a long time since you've been to the back mountain with us, and everyone still misses you. ”
"No, I'm going to practice spells." Lin Huaizhu said while pinching the trick, and he didn't bother to give him one.
"Are you going to change your ways?" Jiang Wenze saw her hard-working appearance, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
She's going down, won't she become the number one on the list? Then his father will definitely kill him!
That's right, Jiang Wenze is not only the true disciple of Wudingfeng, but also the son of Wudingfeng.
"Come on, come on, Xiao Huaizhu, come here." Jiang Wenze originally just heard the rumors and came over to see her curiously, but at this moment, seeing that she was practicing spells desperately, he also sensed something was wrong in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned to her, wanting to call her over and ask what was going on, so as to unravel her.
Lin Huaizhu practiced sweating, his bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, and when he heard Jiang Wenze call her, he stopped pinching his hand and panted to look back at him, straightened his bangs, and then walked towards him.
In the past few days, she is really anxious, as long as she has a spare time, her mind will unconsciously remember the picture she saw in her dream, and her heart can't help but throb and feel painful, so she can only forget the feeling of worrying in this way, so that she is tired and has no time to think about other things, so that her heart can feel better.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Jiang Wenze saw her sitting down on the stone chair under the loquat tree, the whole person looked very haggard, listless, and her figure was also thinner, and asked with some worry.
"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare, and I always wake up with a feeling of restlessness." Lin Huaizhu picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured himself a cup to moisten his throat, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Nightmare? You've dreamed of something that makes you so delirious. Jiang Wenze frowned and looked at her puzzled.
"Hmm...... Anyway, it's just a dream I don't like, and the extent of this nightmare is about the same as the paintings in your room that were burned clean by Uncle Jiang. ”
When Jiang Wenze heard this, his face changed suddenly, he gasped, and said with a frightened look: "It was indeed a nightmare." ”
The picture scrolls in his room are his lifeblood, he was born not to like to practice, but he loves to paint, and the appearance of neglecting cultivation makes Jiang Shibo angry when he sees it, and often catches him to teach a few words.
It would be good if he was willing to enter the Tao with paintings, but he didn't want to live or die, saying that that was the case would be impure in purpose, and the angry Jiang Shibo who had no fixed peak whipped him many times, and he wanted to burn all his paintings, and he was stopped by him holding his thighs and crying and begging.
It was Lin Huaizhu who reminded him of the scene that happened when he took this incident as an example, and immediately said with a lot of understanding.
chatted with Jiang Wenze for a while, and after he left, Lin Huaizhu's mood was obviously much better, and he was no longer depressed before.
She spent a few days in the practice exercises and sword array trials, and when half of the swords in the sword array were preserved, Qin Jianglan finally came back at this time.
After learning that the master was back for the first time, Lin Huaizhu rushed directly to Liangyi Palace without saying a word, and his feet were as fast as flying, as if he couldn't wait for a moment.
"Master!" Lin Huaizhu, like the leopard of Qingjia Daojun, quickly broke into the main hall without looking at it, and went straight to the apse.
"What's wrong?" Qin Jianglan heard the voice, and was just about to walk out of the door of the main hall of the apse, when Lin Huaizhu, who had already seen him, rushed over and grabbed the cuffs, he saw Lin Huaizhu's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but ask.
"Master......" Lin Huaizhu grabbed his sleeve tightly, wanting to say a lot, but his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything to say, just repeated repeatedly, "Master, I dreamed that you were injured, a lot of blood, are you okay?" You okay? Are there any injuries? ”
"What's going on?" Si Che happened to walk out from under the corridor on the side, and when he heard Lin Huaizhu's incoherent voice, he walked over curiously, raised his voice and asked.
Qin Jianglan glanced at the two of them, and then looked at Lin Huaizhu's nervous expression, and was very puzzled, so he had to say, "Come in and talk." ”
He walked towards the hall, and Lin Huaizhu followed behind him step by step, like a child following his father, still tugging on his sleeve in his hand, Si Che looked behind him and felt inexplicably funny.
"Say it."
After the three of them sat down, Qin Jianglan and Si Che glanced at each other, then turned their eyes to her, and finally Qin Jianglan asked first.
Lin Huaizhu glanced at Si Che, who was sitting opposite her, and then glanced at Qin Jianglan on the left, and plucked up his courage and said: "Although you may not believe it when you hear it, but not kidding, when I had such a strong premonition before, it was finally confirmed that it happened!" It's really happening! ”
"Tell me about it, what do you have a premonition?" Si Che asked, propping his chin.
Lin Huaizhu lowered his head, looked at the teacup in front of him, told them everything he saw in his dream that night, and focused on expressing his inner emotions at that time.
"It's true! I cried uncontrollably, my heart was very sad, and my premonition was very strong! I have never had such a strong premonition, Master, what I said is true! Lin Huaizhu saw that there was no expression on the faces of the two of them, and thought that they didn't believe it, so he hurriedly emphasized it again.
Si Che silently glanced sideways at Qin Jianglan, and asked so seriously that he was almost a little stern: "Did you already have the idea of forcing that thing out of your body?" ”
Originally, he just listened to it as a joke, but after seeing Qin Jianglan's reaction, he still didn't understand anything, presumably what Lin Huaizhu saw in his dream, even if it didn't really happen in the future, it was also a warning from Heavenly Dao to her, and he wanted to hint at something.
And this time she said that when she saw Qin Jianglan have an accident, all he could think of was that the purpose of this retreat was to seal the thing in the dantian, but if Qin Jianglan didn't want to strengthen it again, but wanted to force it out, this dream that Lin Huaizhu had was very likely to happen.
Lin Huaizhu listened to Si Che's words, and turned to look at Qin Jianglan in confusion, without speaking.
"It has been in your dantian for eight hundred years, and now it has already taken root in your dantian, if you want to force it out, it is tantamount to self-destruction of your dantian! What's the difference between that and death? Si Che frowned tightly and said sharply.
Lin Huaizhu had never seen him with such a serious expression, and he was a little stunned.
"Ah Che......" Qin Jianglan sighed helplessly, he knew that he couldn't tell the real reason, and his hand holding his sleeve tightened, but he didn't want Lin Huaizhu to know about it, so he sent a voice to Si Che and said slowly, "You know that I have sealed it for more than seven hundred years and made it sleep all the time, but just three years ago, I found that I was about to lose control of it." ”
Si Che was stunned, looked at him, his lips moved, he glanced at Lin Huaizhu, and also asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Qin Jianglan closed his eyes, breathed back and forth, and replied calmly: "It has adapted to my aura and is slowly recovering, I'm afraid it can't be sealed anymore." ”
Si Che's face changed suddenly, and he was very surprised in his heart, he couldn't speak for a long time, he could only look at him directly, and replied: "Why, how can it be so sudden......"
"What are you talking about?" Seeing them like this, Lin Huaizhu knew that he was deliberately avoiding himself, anxious like ants on a hot pot, looking at them anxiously and asking, "Si Che Daojun, what's wrong with my master?" What did you just say is there that has been in my master's dantian for 800 years? Don't spread the sound and speak, okay! ”
Si Che glanced at her, then looked at Qin Jianglan, who was calm and waveless on his face, sighed in a low voice, and said, "That's it, if I don't say it, I don't think your master will tell you about it until he dies, and in the end, you don't even know how he died." ”
Lin Huaizhu subconsciously frowned when she heard the word death, she didn't like to hear this word used on her master.
But at this moment, she couldn't care so much, Lin Huaizhu stared at Si Che tightly, waiting for him to tell the truth.
Qin Jianglan sat aside and didn't react at all, his hands and eyes down, as if what Si Che was about to say was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him at all.
