Under the repeated persuasion of the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue finally agreed to convey internal force to Tu Qitang, the reason why she refused to do so was not because she cared about life and death, nor was she worried about the attack of the old enemy, but because she was afraid that Tu Qitang would give up the Xiling Sect and leave her.

But she gradually figured it out, Tu Qitang has grown up, and he has his own ideas about what kind of lifestyle to choose. If Shengyin is still alive, maybe there is nothing to do with him, so I can only go with him. There are only ruthless children in the world, how can there be truly ruthless parents!

Although the Xiling Sect has not yet become the Holy Sect that dominates the Western Regions, it is also known as unrivaled, for the entire Western Regions, the Xiling Sect is a new gang, and it cannot be compared with those old gangs that have gone through several generations in terms of status, but in terms of strength, it is a well-deserved first.

The highest-ranked swordsmen in the Western Regions are all on the altar, and as long as they are there, no one can shake the status of the Xiling Sect. It is not a problem to maintain this glory at present, but it may not be easy to continue it from generation to generation. The Holy Maiden of Bright Moon knew that she couldn't force Tu Qitang's intentions, even if she tried all kinds of ways to keep his people temporarily, she couldn't stop the pace of time passing.

She would one day follow the Holy Sound, and if Tu Qitang was reluctant to stay in the Xiling Sect, when she left, he would definitely dismiss the Xiling Sect without hesitation. Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the fact that she still has some energy, and simply hand over the whole burden to the capable people in the altar!

It seems simple to figure out something that has been obsessed with for many years, but in fact it is really not easy, and it seems easy to let go of a long-cherished wish, but the emotional twists and turns experienced are unimaginable to outsiders.

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon paid eighty percent of her internal strength, and finally saved Tu Qitang's legs and his skills. With a little time to recuperate, Tuqitang can recover as before. Maybe it was because he felt unprecedented maternal love, or maybe he saw through many things through life and death, Tu Qitang's hatred for his mother gradually decreased, and he even began to reflect on himself.

The medicine gourd brought the nutritious medicine porridge he had carefully prepared, fed Tu Qitang spoonful by spoonful, and laughed out loud from time to time: "Oops, oops, great, it's almost good to be able to eat, you kid is really getting more and more able to eat, eat well, eat well, eat well......"

Tu Qitang clenched his fists, he was feeling a strong internal force rushing in his body, and his legs under the futon began to regain consciousness. Although the medicine gourd did not allow him to get out of bed and walk around, saying that it was to stabilize his internal strength and not lose it, Tu Qitang knew his body, and he was now almost completely recovered.

"Old gourd, I'm going to find Ye'er, you just let me go." Tu Qitang snatched the bowl from the medicine gourd, quickly finished the porridge, and said urgently, "Look, I can eat and drink, just like a normal person." Besides, I feel okay myself. ”

As he spoke, Tu Qitang put down the bowl with one hand, lifted the futon with the other, and bent his legs: "Look, my legs not only regain consciousness, but also move freely, and I can definitely go down the mountain alone." ”

The medicine gourd took the bowl, turned around and put it on the table, looked back at Tu Qitang, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't move, don't move first." ”

Tu Qitang didn't continue to move, quietly looking at the medicine gourd, thinking about how to convince him.

Yao Hulu came over, pulled the quilt for him again, sighed softly, sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "You should know that you can recover so quickly, thanks to the demon girl, oh no, your mother." If she hadn't given you eighty percent of your internal strength, you wouldn't have gotten better so quickly, and you wouldn't have been able to keep your legs. So, you are now because of your mother, who gave you a life, which gave you a new life, even if it was just for her, you can't risk your life. ”

"I didn't want to die, I just wanted to see if Ye'er was okay, I was afraid that she would ......"

"I know, I know, you're worried that she's desperate for the Soul Restoration Pill, in case someone finds out, it won't end well. But if you're worried about the princess, won't I worry about my granddaughter? Don't worry, don't you still know the princess's abilities, she is not an ordinary woman, she will take care of herself. On the contrary, you, who have just come back from the ghost gate, can't you learn to be sensible. ”

Yao Hulu shook his head and frowned tightly: "Listen, I can even say such serious things for you, don't say that you are not a little moved in your heart." ”

Tu Qitang pondered what he said, nodded and said, "I believe that Ye'er can take good care of herself, but what can I do if I stay here!" Although she helped me keep my legs, and it was all thanks to her that I was able to regain my internal strength, I really can't repay it, if you don't like to hear it, if you have a choice, I'd rather not let Ye'er find any elixir than accept the internal strength she gave me. ”

"Old gourd, we haven't known each other for a long time, but everything I say is from my heart, I don't want anyone to risk it for me, especially the people I care about, I don't want to owe anyone, especially her."

The medicine gourd got up and paced back and forth in the room, racking his brains to think about what to deal with, thinking for a long time, and slammed his head: "I said, don't be so hypocritical in front of me, I always say these things that make people crazy, I don't know how to answer them." You know that when I said those comforting words, I was about to die, and you gave me this whole set. Let me tell you, no matter what you say, I will never let you go down the mountain, no, not a single step out of here. Your mother just gave you so much internal strength, even if you want to make a friendship with this, you have to be pretentious! Mother and son, what else do you owe or not, are you still blaming her? ”

"No, I don't blame her, and I don't have the right to blame her, as you said, she gave me life, and I have her blood in my veins. Even if I am reluctant in my heart, I can't escape our relationship. Tu Qitang's eyes were a little confused, he looked blankly at the greenery outside the window, and whispered, "Mother, I haven't called her like this, I haven't ...... once."

"That is to say, blood is thicker than water, if you want to say that you owe affection, you owe her all your life, whether you are happy or not, this is the same fact. So you don't have to think about it, take care of your injuries, and don't give up on impulse! I also know that you are afraid that she will force you to continue to be the sect leader, but if you really don't want to, she will not be able to take you seriously, right, anyway, she can't beat you no matter how she fights now, and she doesn't dare to care where you are going. ”

"As for the princess, you don't have to think about it too much, with my smart granddaughter and shrewd and wise grandson-in-law, I will ensure that the princess will not be in danger. She has no news for the time being, but she hasn't found the elixir yet, and when she has eyebrows, she will naturally contact us. ”

Tu Qitang sat up and said busily: "I don't need any elixir now, old gourd, you go and inform her and tell her to come back quickly!" ”

"I want to too......" Yao Hulu scratched his ears, thinking about how to hide Tu Qitang, the spies of the Xiling Sect came to report, Liu Ye and others were under house arrest by Princess Qili, and it is unknown when they will regain their freedom, but it is certain that Princess Qili does not dare to do anything to them, after all, it is necessary to take into account the friendship between Wusun and Anxi.

"What do you mean by that? Is Ye'er really in danger? Tu Qitang excitedly lifted the quilt and was about to jump off the bed again.

"Don't, don't, don't get excited...... "Yao Hulu can't afford this crime, if he lets go of Tu Qitang and causes even more trouble, Mingyue Holy Maiden and Liu Ye will blame him.

"I said you kid, don't scare people at every turn, do you think it's easy for my old man to live so far, sit down, sit down, listen to me tell you slowly." Yao Hulu didn't know what to say at all, he just felt dry and upset, repeating, "Listen to me, say ......"

Tu Qitang looked at him nervously, the medicine gourd smashed his mouth, and he didn't say it for a long time, so he simply had a heart, and blurted out: "Say a fart, do you know that the Xiling Sect is now in a big disaster, your mother's old enemy, that Qili princess suddenly went crazy, saying that she was going to encircle and suppress the altar, your mother just gave you the internal force, and this kind of thing happened, why do you call me and the old scorpion embarrassed." ”

"It's really fucking dizzy, what is this, I and the old scorpion persuaded your mother to come up with internal strength, who knew that in a blink of an eye, the enemy family came to the door, and those who didn't know thought that the two of us old immortals had discussed it in advance! Fortunately, your mother believes that the old scorpion will not betray her, so I was not implicated, you kid has been the leader of the Xiling Sect for a few days, how can you have no feelings at all, seeing that the altar is about to be bulldozed by others, you still only care about your sweetheart. Yes, the princess is under house arrest in the palace, but no one dares to treat her unfavorably, don't forget, she is the right lady of the princess Wusun of the Han Dynasty, who dares to come easily. ”

"I'm rambling so much, which means that things have priorities, don't just think about your own affairs, but also think about your mother and Xiling Sect. Now at this stall, no one feels better, even if it's me, I don't just think about where to run away when someone calls, I'm still taking care of you! The medicine gourd pointed out the window, "You see that the outside is still as quiet as before, I don't know what is going on under the mountain, let's be content!" ”

Tu Qitang asked with confusion in his eyes: "I don't understand how Princess Qili of the Anxi Dynasty has become her old enemy, why do you have to eradicate the Xiling Sect?" ”

The old face of the medicine gourd wrinkled into walnuts: "This is to ask your merry father, who told him to step on two boats back then!" However, this is not the point, you just need to know that your mother and Princess Qili have fought for your father all their lives, and now even his body has to fight, that's it, to put it bluntly, this war is that two women are crazier than each other, and no one can stop it. ”

"In that case, I can't just sit here and do nothing." Tu Qitang didn't think too much about it, got out of bed after getting dressed, ignored the stunned medicine gourd, and walked to the window, "This is my home, no matter how much I want to leave here, I can't watch my home be destroyed." There are also many innocent sect members, they follow the Xiling Sect just to pursue the truth, ashamed, I don't know what the truth of the existence of the Xiling Sect is, and sitting on the position of the sect leader is the expectation of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, not mine. Even so, I wanted to ask them what they were doing. ”

The medicine gourd stammered and said: "What do you want to do, is it possible that you have to go to war too, no need, there are your mother and the old scorpion under the mountain, as well as the protector of the altar and the holy woman, with them, the officers and soldiers can't fight." What your mother means is to keep you no matter what, with you, there will be a future for the Xiling Sect. ”

"I can't grasp it now, so why bother with the future, whether I can exist in the future is unknown, who cares if the Xiling Sect has a future." Tu Qitang made up his mind, the destruction of the Xiling Sect had nothing to do with him, he couldn't hide and pretend that nothing happened, at least he should be responsible for what he did.

"I said, why can't you make sense, even if I go to a group fight, I don't need you to make a move! Aren't you still thinking about flying away with the princess, isn't your mother fulfilling you, no matter who you hand over the Xiling Sect to take care of in the future, as long as there is hope, she will die without regrets......"

"Hmm......" The medicine gourd realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered his mouth, how could he say in front of her son that she would die, even if the internal force was reduced by eighty, she would not necessarily die!

Tu Qitang did not hesitate, opened the door and walked straight down the stone stairs, the medicine gourd chased out in a hurry, only to see that he had already been stopped by someone, and after a closer look, the man was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his eyes were as indifferent as water were emerald green.

The Southern Holy Maiden blocked Tu Qitang's way with an expressionless face, and said softly: "Please ask the master to go back to the palace!" ”

"Tell me honestly, how is the situation down the mountain?" Tu Qitang asked directly, and when he saw that the Southern Holy Maiden had also been called, he was even more uneasy.

"Back to the sect leader, 10,000 officers and soldiers have gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the Stara Mountain has been completely surrounded, about a thousand infantry are attacking the mountain, fighting with the eight hundred members of our sect, and the winner has not yet been decided, but the sect leader can rest assured, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has issued a convening order, and the sect members from all over the Western Regions have come one after another, and it is expected that within three hours, tens of thousands of sect members will come."

Nan Shengnu meticulously reported the military situation, and there was no fluctuation in her tone, Tu Qitang frowned when she heard it: "What did you ask them to do here?" Sent to death? The other party is all well-trained officers and soldiers, and most of the members of the Xiling Sect can only recite scriptures, and they have never used a sword against the enemy, so what's the use of asking them to come? ”

"Yes, how long can the eight hundred sect members on the mountain hold on? I am afraid that in less than three hours, those 10,000 officers and soldiers will fight, and even if tens of thousands of sect members who can't fight will come at that time, they will only come to die. The medicine gourd caught up and heard their conversation, and was so anxious that he turned around, "No, it can't go on like this, I have to take the sect leader away and leave this ghost place......"

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death...... Tu Qitang snorted disdainfully, shook off the hand of the medicine gourd, and was about to run down the mountain.

"You come back to me, have you forgotten that the princess is still waiting for you, who is she going to take the risk for, you are gone, what will she do?" The words of the medicine gourd kept Tu Qitang's footsteps, and while he hesitated, the Southern Holy Maiden ordered his sleeping acupoint, picked him up and sent him back to the room.

"Sect Master, forgive your subordinates for being rude, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has an order, and the Sect Master is not allowed to go down the mountain without permission." The Southern Saintess placed Tuqitang on the bed and explained to herself.

"Alas, girl, you are helpless to do this, this kid's body has not fully recovered, if he is allowed to do nonsense by his temperament, he will be wasted." Yao Hulu looked at Tu Qitang, who was unconscious again, and said to himself, "If you don't listen to you, you can't even guard against a holy woman, how can you deal with thousands of troops." ”

"You're the medicine gourd?" The Holy Maiden Nan didn't wait for him to answer, and saluted politely, "Please take care of the sect leader, I'll patrol the neighborhood, if there is anything abnormal, just call me." Also, be mindful of your words and actions, and use honorific titles for the Master. ”

The Southern Holy Maiden turned to leave, the medicine gourd opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she cut her voice: "What are you dragging on, asking me to use honorific titles for this kid?" Why don't you call me with respect? Little girl, I'm more than enough for you to be your grandfather! ”

Having said that, the medicine gourd did not get angry with Tu Qitang, dutifully took care of his bedside, and went to the window every few minutes to take a look, and did not hear the movement of shouting and killing, and his heart was finally more steady. The Holy Maiden of Bright Moon has led the Xiling Sect for many years, and has cultivated many powerful fighters, and they have a lot of actual combat experience, so they may not lose if they really fight.

Coupled with the eight protectors of the altar and the three holy maidens, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for those officers and soldiers who can only make one and a half moves to capture the altar, but the opponent is overwhelming, and the one-on-one is not an opponent, so they are afraid of the tactics of crowds, they can't beat you, and they will entangle you.

The medicine gourd thought a lot in a daze, and was thinking about whether to take Tu Qitang to hide first, when he suddenly heard the sound of a fight under the stone stairs. Leaning out and looking, it turned out that it was Nan Shengnu who was fighting with two people dressed as civilians, and I was curious about the origin of those two people, but I saw that the people who were looking up frequently on the side were a little familiar, rubbing their eyes and seeing clearly, it turned out to be Ke Linji who went down the mountain with Liu Ye.

"Don't fight, don't fight...... Medicine Gourd shouted beside the bed, and then rushed down the stone stairs to help Kolinji explain to the Southern Holy Maiden, "It's your own people, your own people, you see, he is the half-brother of that kid, you look at this look is enough to confirm it." ”

The Southern Saintess looked at Ke Lingi carefully, hesitated and stopped, and then raised her sword and pointed at him: "I have never heard that the sect leader has brothers and sisters, saying, who are you, and what is the purpose of taking advantage of the chaos to go up the mountain?" ”

Ke Linji took out the bottle of medicine from his arms and shook it in front of the eyes of the Southern Holy Maiden and the medicine gourd: "I risked my death to come here, just to send the Soul Return Pill to the sect master, you can doubt my motives, or you can prevent me from approaching the sect leader, but you can't doubt the medicine gourd, saving people is important." ”

"What Soul Rejuvenation Pill? The sect leader obviously ......" The Southern Holy Maiden asked puzzledly, but was interrupted by the medicine gourd, "There is such a thing, if you don't believe it, go and ask the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, and quickly give me the Soul Rejuvenation Pill." ”

The medicine gourd was selfish, he wanted to see what the Soul Resurrection Pill was, Tu Qitang's body had recovered, it didn't mean that others couldn't use it. If the Holy Maiden of Mingyue or the poisonous scorpion were seriously injured, they could also be used to save their lives at a critical moment, who called Princess Qili so unkind and unjust, and sent so many officers and soldiers to force the Xiling Sect to death.

Kelinji hurriedly handed the bottle of medicine to the medicine gourd, leaned over to him and whispered, "I want to go and see the sect leader, okay?" ”

The medicine gourd winked at him, and grabbed his hand: "Go, I still want you to apply medicine, if you kid dare to lie to me with fake medicine, I will not be polite to you." ”

It was too late for the Southern Saintess to stop her, and the medicine gourd pushed Kelinji up and turned her head to make a grimace at her. Nan Shengnu pursed her lips angrily, turned around and glared viciously at the two "civilians" with extraordinary skills.

The medicine gourd took Ke Lingi upstairs, and couldn't wait to open the medicine bottle, close to the tip of his nose and smell it. Ke Linji saw that Tu Qitang was still unconscious, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, Tu Qitang couldn't wake up for a while, so he didn't believe that the Soul Restoration Pill could bring people back to life. As long as the trust of the medicine gourd is gained, it becomes easy to capture the altar.

"I heard that the princess is under house arrest? Is there such a thing? Yao Hulu asked suddenly.

"Oh, well, yes, but don't worry, the princess will be fine in a few days." Ke Linge didn't know where he heard about it, but he didn't dare to lie and expose his shortcomings, and said, "Fortunately, the princess got the Soul Rejuvenation Pill and had the opportunity to give it to me to send it, otherwise, it would not be good to delay the sect leader's condition, what's the matter, it's still too late to take medicine, right?" ”

"It's in time, it's in time, you're just in time." The medicine gourd walked to the window and shouted at the southern saintess, "Those two are enemy spies, do it quickly!" ”

The Southern Saintess was stunned, and then swung her sword to cut off the heads of the two people opposite, and Colingie heard two screams, and immediately rushed over to take a look, and the blood stains all over the ground came into his eyes, and the soles of his feet were weak in fright.
