Chapter 66: Mother and Son Make Peace

The arrival of Tu Qitang stopped the idea of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden from committing suicide, and when she saw Tu Qitang, whose charm resembled the holy sound, she couldn't help but be in a trance, as if she had returned to the time when she first saw the holy sound.

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon slowly sat down with the ice coffin, and through the thick ice, the coldness of her palms reminded her that she was still in reality. She is not qualified to live in an illusory dream, and she still has a lot of work to do. Yes, she can solve all her problems by committing suicide, and as long as she is gone, those hatreds and grievances will naturally disappear.

Nan Shengnu and Qing Ling followed behind Tu Qitang, they both came to the forbidden place for the first time, and they only felt incredible when they saw the magnificent ice coffin in front of them, as well as the cave covered with thousands of years of ice. Tu Qitang and Nan Shengnu only understood at this time, why every five years the Xiling Sect would go to great lengths to transport a thousand years of ice from the snow-capped mountains, they didn't know what the meaning of the order of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden was, only when she wanted to build a proving ground similar to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire.

At this time, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has long lost her former majesty, a person who wants to commit suicide, no matter how capable she was before, as long as she has this thought, even if she is not dead, she will become a walking corpse. Qing Ling had long heard that there was such a place, where the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion had come here, as well as Shizhong and Kelinji, including what happened in the forbidden place, she also pestered Shizhong to tell her.

The person lying in the ice coffin must have been hit by the scorching holy sound, the former sect leader of the Xiling Sect, Qing Ling walked over with courage, glanced at the seemingly sleeping holy sound in the ice coffin, but just glanced at it and couldn't help but blurt out: "Oh my God, how is this possible, he looks like he is asleep, not at all like a ...... who has been dead for twenty years"

Qing Ling noticed that he was speechless, hurriedly covered his mouth, and looked at the emaciated Bright Moon Holy Maiden: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to ......"

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon didn't even have the strength to reply, Qing Ling was not wrong, the Holy Voice had passed away twenty years ago, all she could keep was his body, and she selfishly trapped his soul, so that he had to wait for her to come to him. Who knew that after waiting for twenty years, she not only failed to fulfill his wish, but also ended up in a complete situation, and even their only child did not take care of it.

If death can make up for all the mistakes and take away all the hatred, she will not hesitate to understand her life. Although she knew that she didn't have the face to meet Shengyin, and Shengyin might not forgive her, and might not even want to see her, she really had no other choice now. Princess Qili made up her mind to exterminate the Xiling Sect, and did not hesitate to use tens of thousands of infantry, for the 800 followers of the Xiling Sect, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. Such a stalemate is indeed not the way to go, and it will only lead to the loss of more innocent lives.

In fact, does the Xiling Sect have the status of the first in the Western Regions? Fifty years from now, a hundred years from now, will the Xiling Sect still exist in the world? Even if the protectors of the altar and the Holy Maiden are willing to continue to stay and develop more and more capable followers, then, in a few hundred years, it will be time to turn to dust!

Since sooner or later it will cease to exist, the current persistence will lose its meaning, besides, the Xiling Sect has been able to develop so far, and there are too many people who have sacrificed, not to mention the lives of those who were bought by the enemy's money, even the disciples in the sect who have not been able to withstand the trials are also countless. Especially when choosing the altar protector and the holy woman, all kinds of cruel trial methods were exhausted, and almost every day there were children who lost their lives, and the causes of death were also varied, in short, they all died blindly.

In this way, the demise of the Xiling Sect is also providential, and it is simply God's favor that she has the opportunity to make a decision on her own. However, she died like this, can she atone for her sins? It's just that what she can do for the Xiling Sect and its followers, what else can she do except die? Princess Qili sent troops to attack the mountain at all costs, just to see her die with her own eyes, is it only when she dies at the hands of her old enemy can she die as she deserves?

Thinking of this, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon shook her head, she couldn't forgive that woman, she didn't want to die at her hands without dignity. At this time, the only way she can choose is to cut herself off, whether she is selfish or avoided, then so be it!

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden stood up, looked at Tu Qitang and Nan Holy Maiden, who were still in shock, and said indifferently: "You came just in time, after I leave, you can hand over the corpses of me and Shengyin to that woman!" If she is willing to spare me and leave me a whole body, then please bury me with the Holy Voice, if, if...... She still won't let me go, no matter what I become, don't stay too far away from the Holy Voice, it's good to be able to watch him from the sidelines......"

"That's fine, I'm satisfied......" The Bright Moon Holy Maiden stroked the cold ice coffin back and forth, staring at her beloved Holy Voice affectionately, a smile on her lips, "This is the best comfort for me, the last thing I can do for the Xiling Sect, the most meaningful thing I can do for you......"

"If you leave, no one will stop you, and no one will comfort you." Tu Qitang's chest rose and fell violently, he clenched his fists, he couldn't wait to step forward and smash the ice coffin, but the person in the ice coffin was not only the former sect leader of the Xiling Sect, but also his biological father, he could only turn his anger into a roar, "No matter whether Princess Qili cuts you with a thousand knives or throws you into the sea to feed the fish, I won't go to you, I don't allow anyone to look for you, if you want to leave, just go cleanly, don't leave a trace of greed." You don't deserve to stay with him, because you don't deserve his love at all......"

"Sect Master......" The Southern Saintess glared at Tu Qitang dumbfounded, not caring about each other's identities, she grabbed Tu Qitang's hand and dragged her back, "Sect Master, don't say it, don't say it anymore......"

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Tu Qitang glared at the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon angrily, and continued to angrily reprimand her for her suicidal actions, "You ask yourself, what have you done for him, what have you done for the Xiling Sect?" Not only have you made the Xiling Sect into a miasma, but you have also caused this kind of catastrophe, and now the followers of the Xiling Sect are working hard to keep the Holy Sect in their hearts, but you are guarding a dead man with self-pity and self-pity to die or live. Are you worthy of the people who are working for you? They regard you as a god and draw your brothers and sisters to die for you, but you don't even have the courage to face the enemy! What's so hard about dying, wanting to use death to escape reality is the act of a coward......"

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon was stunned, and looked at her son with wide eyes, this may be the most he has said to her when he is so old. Although every word wanted to be stabbed into her chest, she knew that he was trying to keep her.

"And me, haven't you thought about it for me?" Tu Qitang slapped his chest hard, as if he wanted to vomit out all the stuffiness that had been accumulated for many years, "I thought I was a fatherless and motherless child since I was a child, and like those children you grabbed from the bottom of the mountain, they would die at any time. If you want to survive, you can only keep working harder and harder, and force yourself to adapt to all kinds of cruel trials. If you want to become a master, you have to pay more hardships than others, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, you have to grit your teeth and rush over. ”

"You know what? How many times have I wanted to give up? The pain in the body is nothing, the skin and flesh will be numb after a long time, and the most terrible thing is the mental torture! Every day, I watched my little friends who played together die miserably, were dragged away and buried in the ground, and turned into bones in that dark and damp place. You locked me in a dark room again and again, I was afraid of the dark, I didn't want to suffer while I was alive, and I had to suffer endlessly when I died, so I survived because I didn't want to become a corpse buried in the ground. ”

Recalling those painful pasts, there is no doubt that the wounds that have not healed are re-torn apart, these are the past that Tu Qitang desperately wants to forget, but he finally dared to speak out today, not only to keep the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, but also to force himself to accept his past.

Tu Qitang walked into the Bright Moon Saintess and looked directly into her tearful eyes: "If I had a choice, I would rather never know that you are my mother." Why do I have to suffer all that terrible thing when I have a mother? Didn't you say that my mother is the closest person in the world, why should my mother be so cruel to me? Ever since I knew that you were my mother, I couldn't sleep well every day and night, and I couldn't figure out why you did this to me, and I thought about these questions countless times, but there was never an answer. When I knew that the reason why you were so ruthless was just to make me the leader of the Xiling Sect, I found that I had never hated anyone like this, I hated you, hated you for giving birth to me, hated you for being my mother! ”

"Don't ......" The Bright Moon Holy Maiden finally lost control, shaking her head with difficulty and tears raining down, "Don't hate me, I have to do this as a last resort......"

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue suddenly grabbed his hand, put it on her chest, and cried in a choked voice: "Child, you are the flesh of your mother's heart, watching you suffer and suffer, is it better in your mother's heart?" But I can't admit my identity, otherwise I won't be ruthless anymore, you must become the leader of the Xiling Sect, the Xiling Sect is your father's lifelong effort, except for you, no one is qualified to be the leader. I should do to train you to become a sect leader, and only then can I be worthy of your father......"

"The Xiling Sect is yours, not mine, have you ever asked me about my wishes, I don't want to be the leader of this sect at all, I was, I am, and I will be in the future. You have turned a blind eye to me, preferring to guard me for the rest of your life as a saint and make me accept the desires imposed on me. But you know how painful it is for me to do this? ”

In the face of Tu Qitang's questioning, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon couldn't say anything to defend except for tears of guilt. Tu Qitang uncovered his scars, let all the purulent blood flow out, and finally felt more comfortable in his heart, his eyes gradually blurred, looking at the woman in front of him who was no longer beautiful, he couldn't help but feel pity. Perhaps, he should also think about her, force himself to become a ruthless Bright Moon Holy Maiden, force himself to ignore the relationship between mother and son, just for a firm belief to rush forward without hesitation, she is indeed very strong, so strong that men are ashamed of themselves, but she is also a woman, a woman who needs warmth and care.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Mingyue Holy Maiden cried and fell into his arms, no longer hiding the fragility of her heart, and cried like a child, "Mother is sorry for you, it's all my fault, it's me who is not good, I'm not a good mother, you should hate me." I am not qualified to ask for your forgiveness, your pain over the years has been caused by my own hands......"

When Qing Ling and Nan Shengnu saw this scene, they couldn't help but redden, sniffed, and kept wiping their tears.

Tu Qitang no longer hid his desire for maternal love, hugged the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and the mother and son cried bitterly. After a while, Tu Qitang took a deep breath and said: "And Ke Linji, my half-brother, you shouldn't be so cruel to him, he is different from me, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, when did he suffer such a grievance." Speaking of which, this has something to do with me, if I hadn't been so willful and insisted on leaving the Xiling Sect to see the outside world, you wouldn't have thought of asking me to impersonate him. As an elder brother, I am very sorry that he has suffered for me. Mother, you can go with me to see him, it's good to be able to resolve the resentment in his heart. ”

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden raised her head hesitantly, and asked in disbelief: "You, what did you call me just now?" ”

"Mother." Tu Qitang repeated embarrassedly, and after thinking about it, they were originally mother and son, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, and then called a few times, "Mother, mother......"

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon burst into tears and smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, mother, I'll go with you to see Kelinji, don't call anymore, I'm embarrassed to scream......"

Nan Shengnu and Qing Ling hurriedly wiped away their tears, and from the bottom of their hearts, they were happy for the mother and son who had released their previous suspicions, and walked forward to support the Mingyue Holy Maiden and accompany her out of the forbidden place.

Before leaving, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon reluctantly looked at Shengyin, Tu Qitang followed her line of sight, and said with relief: "Find a day, let Dad be buried in the ground!" ”

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden nodded: "Yes, it's time to let him rest in peace." ”

As soon as they walked out of the forbidden place, they met the oncoming medicine gourd, and the medicine gourd saw that Tu Qitang and Mingyue Holy Maiden had tears on their faces, and their eyes met with each other, revealing a strong family affection that could not be dissolved, they were stunned for a moment, and then reacted that their mother and son had reconciled.

"Grandfather, why are you here? We're about to go to your place, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon said that she wants to have a good talk with Kolinji, how is Kolinji now? Qing Ling couldn't wait to tell the good news to the medicine gourd.

"Our brother finally met each other, and we didn't talk to him properly, so we had to apologize before we saw him." Tu Qitang didn't care about Collinge's previous intention to strangle him, but looked forward to being worthy of his brother.

The development of the situation was beyond the expectations of the medicine gourd, and while the medicine gourd was happy for them, he couldn't help but show worry: "Okay, how good is this, the three of you mother and son should have lived in harmony a long time ago, since there is a misunderstanding, it should be resolved in time, and it will not accumulate deeper and deeper, after all, they are all a family, how can there be any knot that cannot be untied......

Nan Shengnu said kindly: "Then let's go quickly, I was rude just now, and I have to apologize when we meet." ”

"Hey, but ......" The medicine gourd was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he had something to say but didn't know anything to say.

Seeing this, Qing Ling, who knew more about the medicine gourd, asked, "Grandfather, is there something wrong with Kelinji?" Could it be that he has already descended the mountain? He's going to be with his aunt to deal with us? ”

"No, the boy seems to have thought about it, and he did go down the mountain, but I heard him say that he had to take responsibility for his mistakes, and that his aunt would not have sent troops to attack the mountain if he hadn't instigated it. I don't know what he meant by that, but I thought to myself that the people over there wouldn't embarrass him, so I let him go......"

"Oh, grandfather, how can you get him down the mountain? How dangerous it is out there now, the sword is really eyeless, who cares if he is the Prince of Rest! Qing Ling couldn't help but shout at the medicine gourd, "No matter what he says, you have to keep him, at least wait until we go back!" ”

"I, how did I know that you still have to go back to him, I am afraid that you will settle accounts with him!" Yao Hulu also felt that he was too careless, in such a chaotic situation at the moment, it was indeed very inappropriate to let him go, and Kelinji himself didn't know any martial arts, if he was injured by mistake, it would be too late for him to regret it.

"That's it, I'm going to chase him back, that kid just left for a long time, and now it's too late to catch up, he should be able to catch up." Yao Hulu knew that it was useless to say more, so it was better to take action to make up for his mistakes.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you." The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon did not hesitate, and ran down the mountain with the medicine gourd.

Tu Qitang grabbed the Holy Maiden of Mingyue: "Mother, let's go and get my brother back, the mountain is already surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the princess of Qili will not stop when he sees you." ”

"Yes, Holy Maiden, the safest place at the moment is the altar, you can wait here for us to come back." The Southern Saintess also persuaded on the side.

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden smiled and shook her head: "I won't run away anymore, this is a grudge between me and her, and I will have to face it sooner or later." I've been hiding for twenty years, do I have to hide for the rest of my life? Don't, I don't want to hide from her on the Huangquan Road, let's go, if you're not afraid, let's go together! ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, no one was afraid of the danger ahead, even if it was a dead end, they would go on side by side.

Princess Qili waited in the tent for a long time, and saw that the sky was dark, and she did not see anyone sent by Xinbuzu to inform her. Liu Ye and Shizhong sat next to him silently, and finally persuaded her, so they had to keep an eye on her at all times, lest she go crazy again and force the Xiling Sect to death.

Without waiting for Xinbuzu to send someone to deliver the letter, but waiting for her eyeliner to be placed in the palace, the two guards hurried to report it, and when they saw Princess Qili, they lay on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not good, it's not good......"

Princess Qili's heart sank, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Get up and speak, what do you look like when you cry!" Why is it that the big thing is not good, I have already signaled to the horse to send troops to surround the palace and relieve the siege for me, is it not enough for the soldiers under the horse to fight against the useless guards in the palace? ”

The two did not dare to get up, but cried louder, and stammered, "The king, the palace is not surrounded, it is not surrounded...... General Xin, Xinbuzu, he, he's coming here with his troops...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty issued an order for General Xinbuzu to exterminate the traitors...... Her Royal Highness the princess has used military power without permission, and her crime should be punished ......"

"What......" Princess Qili stood up, biting her lower lip tightly, her apricot eyes were wide with hatred, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth, "Okay, very good, this palace will die with you......"
