June 19, the great heat.

The upper realm stipulates that Li Xiaoyao can only visit Ling'er for one day a year. As for when to choose to come on this day, you can do whatever you want. So he chose the day of the great heat this year. Looking at Zhao Ling'er's eyes staring at the sky, Li Xiaoyao sighed quietly and turned sideways to let go of the sunlight at the entrance of the cave.

The sun shone on her face, Zhao Ling'er smiled lightly and closed her eyes, as if feeling the warmth of the precious light.

But a moment later, a sword purple qi suddenly formed in the center of her eyebrows, and then it disappeared in a flash! If it weren't for Li Xiaoyao standing in front of Zhao Ling'er, and he had also learned Lu Yuan's swordsmanship, I am afraid that he would not even be able to see the slightest clue! But at this moment, he had no other way but to sigh......

Zhao Ling'er has a special physique, and it is the body of an innate Nuwa, so both her cultivation and perception are far beyond ordinary people, and she is a thousand miles a day. For this reason, all her exercises are tailor-made by Master Lu Yuan and are the most suitable for her. But at this moment, her actions are all shackled, all the meridians are locked, the four major entrances are cut off, and any spiritual power and vitality in her body will be plundered away by the divine tree without hesitation - whether it is a human or a god, at this moment, she should be desperate - or she can only wait for someone to save her.

But Zhao Ling'er won't be like that!

This is a secret that only she and Li Xiaoyao know - Zhao Ling'er was locked up for the first three years, and her eyes were always closed and motionless! Everyone thought that her heart was like a tree and gave up hope, only Li Xiaoyao knew that she was not that kind of person......

Li Xiaoyao has always felt that his talent is indeed worse than Zhao Ling'er, after all, his family is an ordinary person and Ling'er is a descendant of Nuwa, but he is more diligent than Zhao Ling'er. However, after seeing Ling'er's concentration, he vaguely felt in his heart that he was afraid that the item of "hard work" was not so stable.

As expected! Three years later, Zhao Linger created the "Twenty-four Solar Terms Invisible Sword" - a sword that is swung purely with spirit!

Who could have known before this, it was precisely because he was deprived of his strength, spiritual power, and vitality, and even without the support of Nuwa's special physique, that Zhao Ling'er found the essence of the sword! Not to mention, Zhao Linger's qualifications are simply demonic. The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Invisible Sword" is the real sword of heaven and earth that she deduced from Lu Yuan's "Traces of Heaven". Since then, Li Xiaoyao can only choose the time of the solar term to visit, just so that Zhao Ling'er can collect the qi of heaven and earth on the day of the solar term......

Zhao Ling'er had been imprisoned in the crack of the Divine Tree for twenty years, and in addition to the three years of her comprehension, she had already accumulated seventeen invisible sword qi!

Twenty-four years to forge a sword! When this sword is swung, it is really turned upside down!

Don't look at Zhao Ling'er opening and closing her mouth and saying that she is all masters, it sounds like a child who can't do without her parents - in fact, Lu Yuan is just her confidence, and Zhao Ling'er is not an apprentice who only relies on her master!

Li Xiaoyao stood at the entrance of the cave at the moment, but he felt deeply hesitant. He knew that this tree hole could no longer trap Ling'er, and in another seven years, Zhao Ling'er would be able to complete his swordsmanship! When the first sword she wields at that time, she will definitely completely cut off the sacred tree behind her first and break out of the cage! And Shushan, which grows on this taproot, is destined to suffer...... Shushan or Ling'er? Li Xiaoyao seems to have returned to the dilemma 20 years ago.

Zhao Linger knew his hesitation, but chose to close his eyes, neither to convince him, nor to tempt him with the secret love in his heart. Zhao Ling'er's words to Li Xiaoyao were all said at the beginning - "Brother Xiaoyao, you never know what you should cherish. ”

That's all she had to say......

******

A lot happened twenty years ago.

Ling'er's ghost animal master thought that he had arranged it very cleverly - let Zhao Ling'er understand all the causes and consequences first. With Ling'er's pride, she will definitely not compete with Lin Yueru anymore, although her temperament is like this. Not only that, but she will even take the initiative to promote those two people to become a couple - from then on, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru will live happily together, Ling'er only needs to have a master, right?

(Ahem~, you shut up for me!) ）

But the human heart is the most difficult puzzle in the world.

Lin Yueru did fall in love with the handsome and dashing young man Li Xiaoyao, but Li Xiaoyao had a crush on the heroic eldest sister Zhao Ling'er, and Zhao Ling'er had been promoting the two of them...... It turned out to be a love triangle! Dog blood is simply poured basin after basin!

Nanzhao looked for his mother, Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao both returned to the past through the Dream Returning Immortal Technique, and met Zhao Ling'er's mother Lin Qing'er and Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan used immortal magic to extract the power of the water demon beast and turned into a flying rain in Yuhang for ten years. After Li Xiaoyao returned to reality, although he fought hard, he really slashed the combined demonic beast of the water demonic beast and the moon worship sect master! Then the matter of Nanzhao was over, Zhao Linger refused to inherit the throne of the king of Nanzhao, and handed over the matter of Nanzhao to the black and white Miao descendants for self-determination, and then left with the stone statue of his mother.

Li Xiaoyao took Lin Yueru back to Shushan, who knew that Dugu Yuyun actually wanted him to become a Taoist priest and inherit the position of the head of Shushan in the future! Of course, Li Xiaoyao decided not to do it, and Lin Yueru also strongly opposed it, so the matter was over. The two of them have been in Shushan for several months, touring the mountains and playing in the water, and they are not happy. Dugu Yuyun and the drunken Taoist priest all looked at each other with a smile, and they didn't mean to persecute Li Xiaoyao at all......

Just when Li Xiaoyao finally put his heart into his stomach, who knew that the wind and clouds had changed abruptly - the Dugu master and the drunken Taoist priest retreated to practice the Supreme Heavenly Sword of Shu Mountain, but as a result, they both went mad and fell into the devil, and their skills were completely wasted! At this time, the demons united to besiege Shushan. At the critical moment when Shushan was about to fall, Li Xiaoyao had to be ordered to put on a Taoist robe, take over as the head of Shushan, and preside over the mountain protection array......

This is the first meaning of Zhao Ling'er said, "You never know what you should cherish".

Li Xiaoyao is very chivalrous - he can go thousands of miles for the girl he just met and go deep into Nanzhao; He will also draw his sword for the trivial things that are uneven on the road! However, most of the time, Li Xiaoyao chooses to sacrifice himself for the sake of "chivalry", and occasionally there are people close to him - Dugu Yuyun saw this weakness of him, so he dug such a pit for him to jump! Sure enough, between protecting Shushan and preserving his "beautiful little life", Li Xiaoyao chose Shushan without hesitation, because this is his "chivalrous" road!

Li Xiaoyao put on his robe, Lin Yueru went down the mountain with anger, and Dugu Yuyun and the drunken Taoist people smiled--unfortunately they were still happy early! They knew Li Xiaoyao, but they obviously didn't know Lin Yueru's character...... The next day, Lin Yueru went up the mountain wearing a Taoist robe...... It's up the hill! Then Li Xiaoyao happily took Lin Yueru into the door! What do you say? Elder Dugu Taishang and Elder Drunk collectively opposed Lin Yueru becoming a disciple of Shushan?

I! Just! Be! Palm! Door!

By the way, the person who roared was Lin Yueru......

In the end, Dugu Yuyun and the drunken Taoist could only pinch their noses and admit it, watching the two stick together all day long. Lin Yueru's father is Dugu Yuyun's sworn brother, and he is embarrassed to go too far. Just when everyone thought that the world was peaceful and there was nothing to do, a violent earthquake suddenly occurred in Shushan - they saw a bright blue light running through the heavens and the earth, and it was Zhao Ling'er who slashed at the taproot of the sacred tree with a sword!

Lu Yuan and Li Xiaoyao are both hard-working geniuses. But it's clear that none of them understands how perverted a true gifted genius is!

The "Traces of Heaven" sword that Lu Yuan passed to Zhao Ling'er, half of which came from Li Yu's "Traces of Heaven Immovable True Sword", most of it was his own perception. After entering the world of Shushan, he went one step further and deduced from the "Traces of Heaven" sword the sword of "Cross-Strait Flower", which is a dilemma between life and death. Lu Yuan's ascent is step-by-step, layer by layer, and his fourth sword has actually gone beyond the category of "sword" and entered the palace of "Dao".

But what Lu Yuan didn't know was that his little apprentice was thinking alone and cranky, and he actually found the method of "life" from the "Traces of Heaven"!

With no one to assist, Zhao Ling'er's "Trace of Heaven" sword was used with all his might, and almost half of the taproot of the divine tree was cut off with a single sword! And drew great vitality from it, and resurrected his mother Lin Qing'er from the stone statue! Because Lin Qing'er is a descendant of Nuwa, the conditions for resurrection are ten thousand times more difficult than ordinary people. However, the Divine Tree grew from the heart of Pangu and had the same bloodline as Nuwa, so it could be used to resurrect Zhao Ling'er's mother......

This is why Zhao Ling'er went to cut down the divine tree, which then triggered a series of consequences such as the god-man war.

"This is what my aunt asked me to bring to you." Li Xiaoyao said to Zhao Ling'er. He took out a small bamboo basket, except for a few small pieces of dim sum made by Lin Qing'er herself, most of them were all kinds of herbs that either increased vitality or relieved pain. These herbs are produced from all over the world, which shows Lin Qinger's suffering this year. However, Zhao Ling'er smiled happily when she saw the small basket. Family, isn't it just you for me, I'm for you?

Many people may think that after Lin Qing'er is resurrected, she will return to Nanzhao to continue to lead the black and white Miao descendants and become a selfless saint again. Who knew that Lin Qing'er said decisively at that time, "What I owe you has already been paid off with my life, and what I owe to my daughter will take a lifetime to repay", and then ignored it.

However, no outsiders can enter the forbidden land of Shushan. And after Lin Qing'er was resurrected, she knew that Dugu Yuyun actually stopped Li Xiaoyao to save her daughter, and under hatred, she immediately cut off her robe with Dugu Yuyun! (About the story of Lin Qinger and Dugu Yuyun, don't waste words, please search for it yourself) and vowed not to set foot in Shushan for the rest of his life - until later, when he learned that his daughter was pressed under Shushan, it was too late to regret it.

Lin Qing'er commented back then, "Up and down Shushan, they are all unkind!" It is really said that the three generations of the old, middle and young people of Shushan smiled bitterly together.

*****

Zhao Ling'er beheaded the Divine Tree to save her mother, and was punished to make up for the Divine Tree with her own body, which became the most touching scene in the past 20 years......

Some people may want to say that Zhao Linger shouldn't be like this-

Shouldn't she be a tragic girl whose parents died, her grandmother who loved her and the Lord of the Water Moon Palace died one after another, and Li Xiaoyao, who could have relied on her, lost her memory?

Shouldn't she be a girl who is so kind that she can be bullied, who is so gentle that she is weak? Shouldn't she be a girl who hides after being wronged so much as not to trouble others, and secretly cries at night alone? Shouldn't she be willing to leave the country by herself, or even give up the girl she loves in order to fulfill others? Shouldn't she be a girl who sacrificed herself for the sake of the unfamiliar Nanzhao Miao people, in order to defeat the Water Demon Beast and the Moon Worship Master, and even left only a little bit of glory for people to remember in the end?

Zhao Ling'er, who is so sadistic, is the Zhao Ling'er we are familiar with! What the hell is this woman who is as flexible as a steel wire, a woman who will never give up?! Give me back my real Zhao Ling'er!

In fact...... There is a good saying, "A child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a root."

In the original work, Zhao Ling'er's parents died and her relatives passed away one after another, leaving her alone in the world to struggle. Li Xiaoyao, the only one who could rely on him, was still a big boy who was full of chivalry and immaturity at all, and he was still vacillating between two women who liked him! In the end, the only people who really needed her were the black and white Miao people she had never met, although she was needed to die like her mother......

So in the end, it is not difficult to understand that Zhao Linger chose to let the "irrelevant self" sacrifice in exchange for "everyone's happiness". Because Zhao Linger is always the lonely and "redundant" one.

But Zhao Ling'er in this world is completely different!

She has a happy family since she was a child - although her parents are still dead, she has a grandmother who loves her, a master of the Water Moon Palace who replaces the role of her mother, and a master Lu Yuan who replaces the role of her father - such a Ling'er is happy, and her heart is full and strong, and even a little proud. What's more, the various powerful and invincible images left by Master Lu Yuan have made her establish a domineering belief that "my master is Li Gang" since she was a child!

That's why she is like a stubborn child, even if she is beaten, she grits her teeth and does not cry - sooner or later one day I will knock you over! Even if I can't defeat me, my master will avenge me!

"Lu Yan! What do you mean?! ”

The two Lu Dongbin were separated from each other on the left and right in the sky. Lu Dongbin, the Confucian robe of this world, stood with his sword in his hand, unharmed; And Lu Dongbin, the Taoist robe from the Shushan world, was drenched in blood at the moment, and a huge laceration wound almost penetrated his right chest! However, Lu Dongbin in the Taoist robe just covered his wounds and was silent, but Lu Dongbin in the Confucian robe was furious!

"Why do I need you to give in?! Since you and I have said that we will fight to the death, we should do our best! You and I have exactly the same strength, since we are desperate, even if I die in your hands, I have no regrets! But if you let me, then even if I win, I won't be ashamed! Lu Dongbin said angrily. He had just slashed through the opponent's chest with a sword, and it was clear that the opponent could also cut off his left arm with a sword! This is originally a tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries.

Who knew that at the last moment, the sword of Dao Robe Lu Dongbin actually slowed down, which made him feel extremely insulted!

"No... Ahem~... I didn't let you. ”

Dao robe Lu Dongbin coughed up blood and said, he raised his right hand. I saw that his right hand, like glass, had become "lighter in color". "You, what's the matter with you?" Lu Dongbin, a Confucian robe, asked puzzled. At this moment, the Taoist robe Lu Dongbin actually gave him a feeling of "slowly melting". But it's a fairy, and it's not a water and wood spirit, how can it melt?!

"A good news and a bad news," robed Lu Dongbin coughed up blood and coughed profusely, but he smiled happily, and the three long strands of hair under his chin were shaking. "The good news is that my world seems to have changed something that I was expecting, and now the world is pulling me back - that is, you don't have to worry about me challenging you every day, I'm going to leave soon......"

"And what about the bad news?"

"Bad news," Lu Dongbin's figure became fading more and more, "The person you are most afraid of is coming back!" ”

PS: I know you're all waiting for Lu Yuan to appear, so I wittily dragged on another chapter.

PS2: Don't hit me, it's still there today. The new volume opens with a smooth flow of ideas. (To be continued.) )
