Chapter 65
Princess Qili suddenly withdrew her troops, leaving a chance for the Xiling Sect to breathe, and the cavalry in ambush not far away was unknown, so she could only wait for instructions by standing still.
Time passed minute by minute, and the strong bloody atmosphere permeated Stara Mountain, and the rose-colored sunset reflected Yin Hong's sea of blood, which looked particularly weird. The wounded Xiling disciples returned to the camp one after another to receive medical treatment with the support of their companions, but the Altar Protector and the two Holy Maidens in the Northwest still did not dare to take it lightly, lest the other party's withdrawal of troops was just a trick and could come back at any time.
If the war ends here, the Xiling Sect will already be seriously injured, most of the 800 disciples will be killed or injured, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 people who still have the strength to pick up the sword. But if you want to make a comeback, you can do it in a while. However, Princess Qili is obviously serious this time, how can it be left to the Holy Maiden of Mingyue to rebuild the vitality of the Xiling Sect, the current situation is absolutely beneficial to Qili, her side of the army is still sufficient, according to her personality, she will definitely give the Xiling Sect a fatal blow and completely eliminate the Xiling Sect.
The poisonous scorpion couldn't believe that everything was over like this, Princess Qili didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and she didn't know what the hell she was doing, and she could only die worse if she relaxed her guard at this time. Unless, the Holy Maiden of the South successfully entered the palace and successfully persuaded the king to send troops to help.
"Mingyue, although the Eight Great Dharma Protectors and Holy Maidens of the Holy Altar are not injured, they are also exhausted. There is no movement over there for the time being, it is estimated that the Southern Saintess is here with reinforcements, if this is the case, Princess Qili will have to give up. ”
The Bright Moon Saintess was not as optimistic as the poisonous scorpion: "If that's the case, the Southern Saintess should also come back, although I don't know what happened, but I know that today is the death date of the Xiling Sect." ”
"Don't think so, there is no way to be endless, for so many years, Princess Qili has always wanted to get rid of you and the Xiling Sect, but in the end, they have not all failed. Rest assured, this attack on the mountain, King Anxi must be kept in the dark, otherwise, he can't let a princess come. You see, the mad princess must have been controlled, otherwise how could she have stopped at a critical moment! The poisonous scorpion tried her best to comfort her, but she didn't have much confidence in her heart, mobilizing military power was not a trivial matter, and how could Princess Qili's every move be hidden from the eyes of King Anxi.
The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon breathed a sigh of relief gently, her beautiful face was terrifyingly pale, a wry smile rose on her lips, and her distracted eyes stared at the poisonous scorpion: "It's time to let go, ask God, it's finally time for me to let go." ”
"Mingyue, what's wrong with you?" The poisonous scorpion felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly squeezed out a reassuring smile, "Now that everything is over, the altar is undamaged, and the Xiling Sect will not be in danger, as long as you are willing, I can help you rebuild the Xiling Sect." ”
"No, don't ......" The Bright Moon Saintess shook her head slowly, looking away at the remnant sun outside the tent, "This is the last chance that God gave me, I can't hesitate any longer, I must make a decision as soon as possible." Ask God, I know I owe you a lot, so I'll just owe you one more time, okay......"
The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon looked at the poisonous scorpion again, and said faintly: "Please help me settle the disciples of the Xiling Sect, all the belongings of the altar are in the Moon Palace, you take them out and distribute them to everyone." There's only so much I can do for them. ”
"Since you can only do so much for them, it should be up to you to do it yourself, not to fake it." The uneasiness in the poisonous scorpion's heart gradually spread, and she insisted on refusing to help her, "There are more things you have to solve, even if you want to dismiss the disciples of the Xiling Sect, then what about Shengyin, what about Tu Qitang and Ke Linji, you don't think about them?" ”
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, these two children don't need me, and they will live better without me." Mingyue's words came from the bottom of her heart, she never thought that Tu Qitang and Ke Linge would have affection for her mother, but when she thought of Shengyin, she still couldn't help but feel melancholy, "As for Shengyin, I should have let go a long time ago, it was my selfishness that caused so many disciples to die." Let me pay all the debts! All she wants is the Holy Voice, and now that I give it back to her, and my life, I can always return the peace of others. ”
The poisonous scorpion was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to what she meant by this, only to feel a tearing pain in her heart, and couldn't help but hold the hand of the Holy Maiden of Mingyue: "Mingyue, you, you are too stupid, you return the holy sound to her, why sacrifice yourself?" Besides, you shouldn't be blamed for all these sins, so why should you punish yourself? Don't think that everything will be fine once you leave, even if you go to death, it may not solve the problem. Sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to die, and you still have a lot of things to do, so how can you just go? ”
The Bright Moon Holy Maiden withdrew her hand, and her gray eyes were lifeless: "Ask the sky, I can only go here, I'm sorry, I really don't have the courage to face more." You know me, you shouldn't keep me, let me go. ”
The poisonous scorpion couldn't say a word, she was right, he knew that sooner or later she would come this far.
In the blood-colored sun, the figure of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden was stretched so long, watching her walk towards the altar step by step, it was like walking towards a new life, and she and Shengyin were finally going to be reunited. Knowing that she has been waiting for this day for a long time, she can't wait to follow the person she loves the most, and who else can stop her!
The poisonous scorpion watched the Bright Moon Holy Maiden walk away, until it disappeared into the altar at the mountain peak, and before he knew it, he was already in tears. She doesn't care about life and death for the person she loves the most, why shouldn't he, he has only loved one person in his life, even if his love is destined to not be reciprocated, and he is destined to be a foil for others, he has never regretted it.
Now, when the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon went to find her peace, he didn't even have the courage to stop it, he wanted to take her away domineeringly and let her be with him from now on. But he couldn't, and he couldn't do it, because he knew her better than anyone else, and the person in her heart would only be the Holy Voice.
"Old Scorpion ......" Qing Ling and the Southern Sage Maiden went up the mountain in one go, and saw the back of the poisonous scorpion from a distance, and they didn't know what he was looking at, Qing Ling took a few steps closer and couldn't help but call loudly, "Old Scorpion, where is the Bright Moon Holy Maiden?" Call her out, we have something to say to her......"
When the poisonous scorpion heard Qingling's cry, his back suddenly froze, and he hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and turned to look at them. The Southern Saint Goddess was solemn, and even Qing Ling was full of sadness, not at all like the ease after the crisis was resolved.
"What do you have to say?" The poisonous scorpion almost flew over, and glanced back from time to time, "Mingyue, Mingyue, she has returned to the altar, she wants to admit defeat to Qili and save the disciples of the Xiling Sect......"
"Oh, no, no, why didn't you stop her......" Qing Ling's head shook like a rattle, and he ran up the mountain with his legs, and after running a few steps, he remembered that his skills were much worse than those of the Southern Holy Maiden, and his speed was much slower, and it was estimated that it would be too late for her to run to the altar.
Qing Ling hurriedly stopped and shouted at the Southern Holy Maiden: "Quick, you go and stop the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, you can't let her do stupid things......"
The Southern Saintess was about to explain to the poisonous scorpion, but she didn't care about him at this time, and went straight to the altar like a gust of wind. The poisonous scorpion was dumbfounded, grabbed the blazing Qingling, and asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" Didn't the Southern Holy Maiden go to the palace to ask for help? ”
Qing Ling shook off his hand and spat disdainfully: "Don't mention that old thief, it's too despicable, I actually waited to see how the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and Princess Qili died, the old thief is too insidious, I'm really not worth it for them!" ”
"Old thief?" The poisonous scorpion didn't react for a while, "Which old thief?" ”
"Phew, isn't it Colin Guitar Daddy, besides him, who in the world is so insidious and treacherous!" Qing Ling learned from the Southern Holy Maiden, and it was very enjoyable to call the old thief King Anxi.
"You mean, instead of coming to the rescue, the King of Rest will wait until they are both defeated?" In the end, the poisonous scorpion is an old Jianghu, and you can figure out the ins and outs in two short sentences.
"Isn't it, isn't this old thief a bastard! Thanks to Princess Qili being his sister, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon also gave birth to a son. For the sake of his throne, he did everything, and I now finally understand why people say that kings are ruthless! Qing Ling muttered a few words angrily, pushed the poisonous scorpion and explained, "You go and tell the Dharma Protector and the Holy Maiden, stop fighting, retreat, retreat, return to the altar for long-term consideration, even if you go back to your hometown, it's better than being cannon fodder for others!" ”
"Yes, as it should be!" The poisonous scorpion doesn't care about criticizing the ruthlessness of the King of Rest, and it is imperative to save more people's lives now.
"Okay, I won't go with you, I'm going to find my grandfather and tell Tu Qitang about them." After Qing Ling finished explaining, he hurriedly ran up the mountain, muttering as he ran, "Damn, if I had my grandfather's ability, I would have taken the life of that old thief with my own hands......"
The poisonous scorpion was silent for a moment, as if pondering something, remembering that there were still many disciples under the mountain, so he had to go and rescue them first.
Qing Ling rushed to Tu Qitang's residence, and when he saw the medicine gourd, he couldn't wait to say: "Oh no, no, that bastard old thief, that is, King Anxi wants to destroy the Xiling Sect and Princess Qili, the altar is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to leave as soon as possible." ”
The medicine gourd blinked, and it took a while to understand what was going on: "Oh, you said that the old guy didn't save him when he died, and he was still planning to take advantage of the fisherman?" ”
"Yes, that's what it means! Grandfather, you are still smart, a little bit of it! Qing Ling praised sincerely, turned his head to look at Tu Qitang, who had just woken up, and said, "Are you feeling better, don't worry, the Soul Restoration Pill is at the princess's place, she should be back soon." ”
"Ye'er, where is Ye'er now?" When Tu Qitang heard Liu Ye's news, he jumped directly from the bed, although he was a little dizzy in front of him, he still grabbed Qingling's shoulder and asked, "Tell me, where is she, where is she?" ”
"Ah, you, your legs are ......" Qing Ling couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw him regain his previous bravery, "But, the Soul Resurrection Pill is still with the princess, how can you ......"
Thanks to Mingyue, she gave him all her internal strength. Hey? Where is the Southern Saintess? How did you get up the mountain? The medicine gourd asked curiously.
"The Holy Maiden of the South came with me, she went to inform the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, and she also heard the conspiracy of the old thief......" Qing Ling glanced at it, and found that the person lying on the bamboo couch was Ke Linji, "He, why is he here?" ”
The medicine gourd waved his hand and said lightly: "He came to assassinate the sect leader and was knocked unconscious by me." ”
"What? Collinji, the assassination of Tuqitang? It turns out that he is the internal response of the old thief? No wonder, no wonder the princess is suspicious of him...... "Qing Ling shook his head, unable to accept the endless changes, "How did this world become like this, people who look very good, it turns out that they are all evil ghosts with hearts like snakes and scorpions, and people who do nothing evil on weekdays have become affectionate and righteous, oh my God, are you human beings or ghosts?" ”
Colingey could hear their conversation clearly, he didn't expect his father to have such a plan, he couldn't say that his father was treacherous, if it was him, he would do the same. A few months ago, he hadn't thought about harming anyone, he hadn't thought of any ghost ideas, and now he didn't do anything for his own benefit.
The medicine gourd patted Qingling's back: "Okay, okay, you just have too little knowledge to make such a fuss." It's hard to tell whether it's a person or a ghost, and at my age, I don't dare to guarantee that I can see through it at a glance. Tell Tu Qitang how the princess is doing. ”
"The princess and the master went to find Princess Qili and asked her to withdraw their troops immediately, and they succeeded, and there was a truce at the foot of the mountain." When Qing Ling said this, he suddenly remembered the Bright Moon Holy Maiden who was bent on seeking death, and pulled Tu Qitang and ran outside, "The person who should be most worried about now is not the princess, but the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, your mother wants to take your father to seek death and admit defeat, we have to stop her......"
Tu Qitang was stunned and didn't leave, Qingling couldn't drag it, and wondered, "What's wrong with you?" She's your mother, so you're not nervous at all? And your father, you've never seen him before! ”
The medicine gourd sighed, walked over and slapped the back of Tu Qitang's head violently: "Go, don't make any more trouble, it's okay if you recognize her or not, she is your mother after all, if she doesn't give you her internal strength, your little life will be in danger." She gave you two lives, and even if she owed you before, it should be repaid. ”
Qing Ling pulled him twice, and Tu Qitang pursed his lips and finally took a step.
Sending Tu Qitang away, the medicine gourd turned to Ke Linji: "What about you, what should you do for your mother?" ”
"He's not my mother, and I'm not her son." Collinji lowered his head, his voice hoarse and tired.
"Another stubborn donkey!" The medicine gourd stretched out his index finger and poked his head, "If you want to blame it, you should blame your father, do you think that the Mingyue Holy Maiden is willing to give birth to him, it's not that he covets other people's beauty, so he has to force her to comply!" You people, you only know how to blame women, and you don't think that those stinky men are hateful. Well, even though I'm a stinky man, I don't force any woman to give me a baby, and I don't want to take advantage of other people's parents because they are good-looking. ”
"The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon endured humiliation and gave birth to you, why didn't you think about her? Is it because she's just a cult leader and doesn't deserve to be forgiven, and your king dad is right to do whatever he does? To put it bluntly, you are also a villain who tends to be inflammatory, in your heart, you don't look down on your mother's background at all, I wish you had a relationship with her! ”
Kelinji had never thought about it like this, but I have to say that Yao Hulu's words made him see himself clearly, he really cares about his origin, because his biological mother has an unknown origin, and he has been subjected to cold words since he was a child, he doesn't mind others mentioning his life experience, and he doesn't want to think about what kind of person his mother is. Whenever his father complimented him, he was very happy, trying to show that he wanted his approval, and did not dare to covet the throne, but also wanted to look like a real prince.
"However, she connived at Tu Qitang to pretend to be me and locked me up for the light of day, these are all facts, and you have witnessed it with your own eyes. As a mother, how can you abuse your son like this? Collingey grabbed the handle and retorted.
Yao Hulu sighed again: "As children, when my father and mother are also eccentric, Tu Qitang has been by her side for more than 20 years, and she naturally has more feelings for him than you." Besides, he is the leader of the Xiling Sect, and for the sake of the Xiling Sect, what can't she do. Yes, the way she treats you is problematic, but it's also for the safety of both of your brothers. Whoever is exposed, the other is in danger. ”
"She locked you up, gave you food and drink, and didn't treat you badly, it's no wonder she didn't make it clear to you in advance, but you also know that she is a person, she has always only done and won't say, she gave birth to you, she didn't raise you for a day, what do you want her to tell you! If she doesn't feel sorry for you, she can tell her identity directly, but she also feels guilty, so she doesn't know how to face you. You and I are not women, we will never be able to experience the pain of pregnancy in October, although you are not the child she is looking forward to, but you are also her biological flesh and blood, sending you into the palace is the best choice for you, if she raises you, she will be reluctant to send you away, do you understand? ”
Kelinji was silent, he really didn't think about it so much, he only felt that he had been greatly wronged, and hated the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon for not paying attention to him and not caring for him, but he didn't think about how much pain she had suffered.
"Do you remember when you were locked up on a hunger strike and who saved you? You should have no impression of passing out at that time, let me tell you, it was your mother who saved you, she used her internal strength to extend your life and pull you back from the brink of death. So, she also gave you two lives, and you are the same as your eldest brother, impartial. ”
"Oh, talking so many people's words, my mouth is numb......" The medicine gourd rubbed his mouth exaggeratedly, as if he was really numb and couldn't speak, "You don't worry about one by one, I'm worried about her, forget it, it's all about this, love to listen or not." If you want to go, go to your ruthless and unrighteous father, and take advantage of the chaos outside, maybe you can happen to help your father catch your aunt, and help him get rid of the big trouble. ”
Kelinji sat in place and didn't say a word for a long time, Yao Hulu tilted his head to look at him, only to see that his face was covered with tears, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that this kid still had to be saved.
The Southern Holy Maiden found the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon in the forbidden land of the Xiling Sect and told the truth everything she saw, but unexpectedly, the Holy Goddess of the Bright Moon looked as usual, but smiled indifferently and did not say anything.
"Nan Shengnu, remember that you have a wish to find your long-lost brother. To tell you the truth, I have sent people to look for him all these years, but there is no news of him, poor child, I don't know if he is still alive. The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon sighed lightly and looked at her guiltily, "What I have done to you is not worthy of forgiveness, so you should not be buried for the Xiling Sect." Let's go away now, I've already explained to Mo Wentian, you can go to him. ”
"Holy Maiden...... Nan Saint Maiden stopped her, her eyes covered with layers of mist, "You have paid so much for the Xiling Sect, haven't you ever regretted it?" ”
The Holy Maiden of Mingyue didn't look back, thought about it seriously, and then said: "Give everything for your faith, and be willing to do it." ”
The holy voice in the ice coffin seemed to be asleep, and time stood still at the moment when he fell asleep, and twenty years had passed, and his appearance and posture had not changed.
The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon tiptoed towards him, for fear of disturbing his dreams, gently pushed open the translucent coffin lid, looked at the beloved in her heart with affectionate eyes, and said softly: "Let you wait for me for so long, you shouldn't blame me, Shengyin, now I'll accompany you, okay?" ”
"If you do, he won't forgive you."
The Bright Moon Saintess looked back in amazement, and when she saw Tu Qitang, whose charm resembled the holy sound, tears flowed down her eyes.
