Chapter 14: Two Portraits
Ten years ago, just as Nanzhao was in civil turmoil, the Moon Worship Sect leader took most of the people in the country and forced the palace witch king to issue an order to kill the queen.
Shi Jieren released water monsters to wreak havoc, the flood was monstrous, and the whole country fell into an ocean, and Ling'er and Jiang were also hunted down by the Lunatic Cultists.
At this moment, Xia Jie and Li Xiaoyao Jiujian Immortal arrived and rescued them.
Later, at the queen's behest, Jiang and Li Xiaoyao took Ling'er and left Nanzhao Kingdom, while Xia Jie and Jiu Jianxian joined the battle group of Qing'er and the Water Demon Beast, but the result is unknown.
Li Xiaoyao laid out the formation on Xianling Island, and taught Jiang how to run and maintain the big array, and then also taught Ling'er to use the Xuanguang Mirror to record her life, which became a lesson in her cultivation, and then he left Xianling Island.
From this point on, it is exactly ten years from the end of today!
"You mean...... Back then, I didn't tell you anything else? Xia Jie frowned and asked.
Grandma Jiang thought hard, and shook her head after a while: "If you go back to Engong, you really didn't hear what Engong had to say, ...... old man back then. ”
Xia Jie's eyes tightened, he looked at the two people in front of him, and said secretly in his heart: "En...... I think I get it. ”
I saw that in Ling'er's boudoir, there was a portrait of several zhang of the same person, and inside was a handsome young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his air was lofty, holding a sword, and his clothes were fluttering, it was Li Xiaoyao.
On the other side, there is also a figure with a very different painting style, that is, a man with swollen clothes, hair scattered wildly, and a trace of gray smoke all over his body, is jumping towards the floating back of a piece of sea.
Almost the moment he saw this portrait, Xia Jie realized that the figure in it was him!
"Yi Ling'er can recognize me, and even what Jiang said, we are not masked when we shot with the Wine Sword Immortal ten years ago, that is to say, the Wine Sword Immortal also knows us at this time? No wonder he was supposed to appear in Yuhang Town yesterday, but he never showed up. ”
Xia Jie nodded clearly, he was able to resolutely intervene back then, and he must have relied on it, this is a good start, but I don't know what happened to Qing'er and Jiujian Immortal now.
"Eun Gong ......"
Seeing that he stopped talking, Grandma Jiang looked embarrassed and shouted in a low voice.
"Huh? How? ”
"Engong went to save the queen back then...... I don't know, I don't know if it succeeded? Can Ling'er go back to Nanzhao to see her mother? Grandma Jiang finally asked the question she wanted to know the most, and she had been answering before, not daring to take the liberty of asking.
And her question really stumped Xia Jie, he hadn't returned to the past through the Dream Immortal Technique, how did he know that those things that happened ten years ago, but would only start half a year later?
He hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "Well, there are still some aftermaths of the war ten years ago, and the Lunatic Worship Sect still exists in the world, so this time we are here to take Ling'er to Nanzhao Kingdom to set things right, Grandma Jiang, what do you think?" ”
Xia Jie didn't know what the situation was now, and only deduced from the existence of the three Lunatic Cultists yesterday that the Lunatic Cult was still there, so he was sloppy and didn't answer her question head-on.
Grandma Jiang made up for herself, guessing that the queen might be dead, and she could accept this result, after all, so many young people have not come to Ling'er, which is very revealing.
But when she thought about it, Ling'er was the rightful princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, and it was reasonable that this country should be inherited by her and enjoy the treatment she deserved, rather than living on this isolated island for a lifetime.
At this, Grandma Jiang nodded and replied: "It's not a secret, if the two fathers don't come again, the old body also plans to set off, and he will send the princess back to China with all his life." Now that Engong is interested, the old body is also relieved. It's just that...... Thanks to the help of the two benevolent fathers several times, the old body and the princess have nothing to repay, and then they can only kowtow and thank the graceful princess! ”
Xia Jie casually held it up, and the five elements magnetic field within three meters of his own freely released his force, so he asked Jiang to kneel and bow. "Please, you also have a benefit that can repay this seat, but I don't know if you are willing to agree."
Grandma Jiang was stunned for a moment, as strong as a master like Xia Jie, she didn't think she had the strength to help the other party, but after all, En's mouth was open, she still nodded and responded:
"Engong said that it doesn't matter, as long as the old body can do it, he will never refuse."
Xia Jie nodded and said, "...... Just now I saw that the effect of the purple gold pill is good, are you Miao Jiang's method of practicing the pill willing to borrow me to take a look? ”
Grandma Jiang's surprise was even stronger, although Miao Jiang's alchemy method originated from the Nuwa lineage, but the problem was that each sect had its own practice method, and it was nothing more than a different Dan recipe.
So she thought that Xia Jie was curious about the formula of the Zijin Pill, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Since En's mouth is open, the old body will go and get it." ”
Grandma Jiang looked sideways at Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao again, and saw that the two of them were studying which painting was the best, so she smiled and turned around and walked out.
……
In the evening, after dinner at the Water Moon Palace.
"Grandma, don't worry, we promise to take care of Ling'er." Li Xiaoyao stood on the bow of the boat and patted his chest.
"The old body naturally trusts the two beneficiaries, but Ling'er, the child, has never been out of the island, if she has anything wrong or missed, I hope the two benefactors will bear with her."
Grandma Jiang snorted and cried, she wanted to leave someone to marry Ling'er and find a support for her, but later found out that Xia Jie and Li Xiaoyao were both there, and she had a hard choice.
And Ling'er is about to embark on the road back to China, which is naturally not a helpless move, so she is more willing to respect Ling'er's own choice.
"Grandma, Ling'er will be very well-behaved."
Ling'er's eyes were full of tears of joy, pulling Jiang's rough palm, putting her hand on her face, and muttering like she was a child with her grandmother's palm: "When Ling'er goes to Nanzhao Kingdom, she will come back to pick up her grandma, grandma, you can rest assured." ”
Along the way, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the demons, monsters, and Lunatic Cultists are all threats, so the Jiang clan is unwilling to ask for trouble and asks them to take them on the road together, and after everything is settled, it is not too late to leave for Nanzhao Kingdom.
"Grandma knows that Ling'er is obedient, so Ling'er, you have to remember......" Grandma Jiang whispered a few words in her ear.
After speaking, Ling'er blushed and turned around and ran back to the cabin.
"It's not too early, so let's leave it at that." Xia Jie nodded slightly at Jiang's family, pressed it with his bare hands, and when the mana moved slightly, a wave naturally surged on the water, taking the boat away from the shore.
"Goodbye ......"
Grandma Jiang stood on the shore and watched the boat drift away and disappear on the shoreline, and before she knew it, tears wet her clothes.
After raising Ling'er for ten years, she has already regarded Ling'er as her own, and the tears at this moment are happy for her new life. Ling'er has grown up, and without the shackles of Xianling Island, it is the sky where she can fly freely.
At the moment, on the ship.
The breeze blew, and Xia Jie whispered: "The method of alchemy is also simple......
I saw that in his left hand he was holding an open thread-bound book, which was full of sinuous handwriting, which was clearly not Central Plains writing.
This book of alchemy records a total of more than ten kinds of refining methods of Dan Gu, which seems quite simple at first glance, but in fact, this kind of elixir and Gu worms are not things that can be easily obtained, in addition to this refining method, the materials are also a big limitation.
For example, Zijin Dan, the full name of this elixir is actually Taiyi Zijin Dan, which is mainly used to dispel poison and heal wounds.
However, due to the rarity of its materials, it is also very difficult to refine it, so the number of Cheng Dan is unanimously only a handful, and what is in Li Xiaoyao's hand at this moment is the last Purple Gold Pill on Xianling Island.
Xia Jie raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand: "Little brother Xiaoyao, bring the pill over and show it to me." ”
Li Xiaoyao walked to the bow of the boat in confusion, sat opposite Xia Jie, handed over the Dan box and said with a bitter face: "Brother Xia, what do you say is wrong with Miss Ling'er, as soon as I talk to her, she will turn her head and not look at me." ”
"Really?"
Xia Jie also closed the book and looked sideways at the small cabin, he happened to look at Ling'er who was glancing, and the other party quickly turned around.
With his hearing, he could easily hear Grandma Jiang's words clearly, and looking at Ling'er's expression at this moment, he naturally understood it very well.
Before this, Xia Jie still wanted to try his best to match Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er to get married, but after these things that he couldn't figure out, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with Grandma Jiang's approach, leaving time for them to develop naturally, and he just needed to add fuel to the fire.
Otherwise, what is too easy to get will always not be cherished.
And with Li Xiaoyao's attributes of a sharpshooter, Ling'er will inevitably become pregnant after marriage, and at the same time, it will lead to a large loss of essence and blood spiritual power, which is very dangerous.
And now Xia Jie doesn't dare to make sure that she can make up for her deficit in essence, at most she is only six points sure.
"Well, this matter can only be understood, not spoken."
Xia Jie shook his head and smiled slightly, opened the pill box and looked carefully, this purple gold pill was round and translucent, the medicinal taste was fragrant, and the light was self-generated, and the light contained a trace of purple gas, which formed a touch of green after radiating out.
Compared with Blood Bodhi, it may have a better healing ability, but it does not have a miraculous effect such as increasing strength.
"Brother Xia Jie, you can just tell me."
Li Xiaoyao did not relent, used Ling'er's killing move, grabbed Xia Jie's arm, and shook it.
In terms of wheel martial arts qualifications, Li Xiaoyao can be described as a real genius, his comprehension is comparable to the terrifying effect of opening the wheel eye, and the moves he has seen once will basically be about the same.
So he shook his arm at the moment, making it vivid, Xia Jie smiled helplessly, and whispered: "You have been soaked for so long, and you still don't know what Ling'er means?" ”
"You mean......" Li Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xia Jie shook his hand, "Okay, if you really have the heart, take some action, and when you return to Yuhang Town, you know what to do, right?" ”
