Chapter 61: The Continuation of Life
The dark waves of the palace are surging and changing, and the Xiling Sect has been under an unprecedented terrible threat, since the enemy has been at odds with Princess Qili, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has always been vigilant about the movements of the palace, especially the every move of the old enemy.
Liu Ye came to her when he went down the mountain, and suggested to her that turning the war into jade silk was the safest way to keep the Xiling Sect, after all, relying on no one can rely on it for a lifetime, although the King of Anxi is now on the side of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, but it is difficult to guarantee that something will happen in the future, if the grudge between them cannot be resolved, the Xiling Sect will be in danger of being encircled and suppressed at any time.
After so many years of confrontation, the Bright Moon Holy Maiden has never been afraid or flinched, but she is indeed a little tired, after the careful maintenance of the Holy Shrine Protector Holy Maidens, the Xiling Sect is no longer the low-level killer organization of previous years. The Xiling Sect is moving step by step towards the goal of dominating the Western Regions, looking at the entire Western Regions, there are only a handful of gangs that dare to call out the Xiling Sect, so it won't be long before the wish of the Holy Sound can be realized.
Therefore, before that, no matter how tired and hard she was, she would not give up easily. No matter who tried to stop her progress, she would not dare to back down. Although Liu Ye's proposal made her have some ideas, it was just that the grudge between her and Qili could not be reconciled in a few words, even if she had a heart, Qili might not be willing to accept it. In fact, she also understands that their hearts are knotted in the holy sound, and Qili is bent on getting the holy sound, even if it is an unconscious holy sound.
The Holy Maiden of Mingyue insisted on refusing to let go, just because the person who poisoned the holy sound in the first place was Qili, if it weren't for Qili's ruthlessness, the holy sound would not have become what it is now. How can a woman be so terrifying, and besides, she still loves Shengyin deeply, even if she doesn't love him, she can't torture him in such a vicious way! Scorching Nightmare, the legendary poison, enough to make life worse than death, if it is not for deep hatred, how can it be so ruthless!
Qili also said that she loved the Holy Sound more than her life, it turned out that this was the way she loved people, and if she couldn't get the Holy Sound completely, she completely ruined him. While torturing him, she also wants to destroy those who love him deeply, including herself. Qili, this woman's viciousness is beyond everyone's imagination, how can Mingyue not hate her! Especially when she was tormented between life and death by Shengyin, she had to find someone to ask Mingyue to return Shengyin, otherwise she would send troops to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect.
The Holy Voice is still struggling to survive, and this vicious woman can't wait to destroy the Xiling Cult he created and put his heart and soul into the fire. Mingyue can't disobey her mind no matter what, even if she insists until the last moment, she can't admit defeat, even if the altar is destroyed by Qili, she has to save her last breath to rebuild the altar.
Mingyue can't give the holy sound to such a moody woman, she must be worried that the holy sound is not dead, and it will inevitably leave future troubles, so she will try every means to coax her to hand over the holy sound. If the holy sound reaches Qili's hands, it will definitely die, even if there is still life, it will definitely not survive.
Back then, Mingyue was already too busy to find out who was behind Qili's master, and she didn't even know what kind of poison it was, so how could she have the heart to care about who made it.
Qili poisoned Shengyin once, and the cruel truth was in front of her, Mingyue couldn't believe that she had remorse, and was even willing to save Shengyin's life. Mingyue was trying her best to protect Shengyin, she had indeed done her best, even if all the famous doctors she could find couldn't save Shengyin, she didn't give up chasing the poisonous scorpion that ranked first in the drug world. However, even the poisonous scorpion was helpless against the scorching nightmare, and in order not to make her too sad, he had to come up with a way to preserve his body with thousand-year-old ice.
Mingyue had no other way but to do it, she thought that as long as she waited, one day she would move the heavens and make the holy sound wake up. delayed the best time for treatment, Mingyue was by no means intentional, in that case, it was difficult for her to believe that Qili was a good heart. Mingyue thought that the poisonous scorpion was the best detoxification master in the Western Regions, and if even he couldn't do it, there would be no one in the world who could detoxify the holy sound.
As for the madman master who Qili tried her best to hide, she was not absolutely sure whether she could detoxify the holy sound, and Qili was a little lacking in confidence. Although she wanted to save Shengyin, she didn't have much chance of winning in her heart, she insisted that Mingyue hand over Shengyin, which was nothing more than a sign of not giving up, even if Shengyin was dead, she wanted to get him.
But Qili didn't expect that Mingyue would actually find King Anxi as a backer, and seeing that the royal brother was fascinated by her, the feeling of betrayal in her heart hit again, making her hate to cut the treacherous and cunning woman with her own hands. Mingyue, who was hated by Qili, had to think of suppressing Qili with the help of the king's power.
Seeing the longing in King Anxi's eyes, Mingyue's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what else she could use to protect the Xiling Sect. In the past, when the Xiling Sect was in danger, she would not be flustered, nor would she be afraid, because she had the Holy Voice, and the Holy Voice could always rescue the Xiling Sect at a critical moment, and she only needed to cooperate as much as she could.
Sheng Yin has led the Xiling Sect through deadly crises one after another, and Mingyue is accustomed to having him to protect her, seeking comfort in his generous chest. Now it's up to her to protect the Holy Voice, she doesn't have the power of the Holy Sound, she can only use this humiliating way to keep the Xiling Sect that the Holy Sound cares about the most.
"Holy Maiden......"
The maid's light call brought back Mingyue's ethereal thoughts, and she hurriedly came back to her senses and asked, "How is the sect leader's injury?" Did the medicine gourd and Mo Wentian find a better way? ”
"Returning to the Holy Maiden, they haven't found a way to heal the sect master, so ......" The maid with a twisted braid lowered her head, biting her lip and hesitating.
"You say, it's none of your business."
"Therefore, they asked the slave maid to inform the Holy Maiden that within two hours, if the sect master's internal strength could not be continued, his legs would be considered useless......"
Before the words fell, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon slammed into the case, the wood fragments of the coffee table around her splashed all over the ground, and the maid was so frightened that she was trembling, not daring to look up at the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and kept begging for mercy: "The Holy Maiden spares her life, how ......can she spare her life?"
The Holy Maiden of Mingyue didn't care about her, and went straight out to see Tu Qitang, she cared about her internal strength, and she also cared about whether Qili would be unfavorable to the Xiling Sect during this period. If there was no such threat, how could she be reluctant to convey internal force to Tu Qitang, not to mention that she couldn't do martial arts for a year, even if her martial arts were exhausted, she would be willing.
But she can't care for Tu Qitang as a mother, this is the fate of their mother and son, and their existence is for the sake of Xilingjiao. Tu Qitang is the son of Shengyin, he has finally become the real sect leader, he must not end up with crippled legs, she wants him to stand up and stand up again, the Xiling Sect needs him, she also needs him.
The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon came quickly, the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion were not surprised at all, they gave a deadline of two hours, if she still refused to show up, then there was really no humanity at all.
Tu Qitang had regained consciousness, he lay on the bed, and looked at the Bright Moon Saintess indifferently, as if he was looking at a stranger. The heart of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden was inexplicably uncomfortable, she should have gotten used to his kind of eyes, and she had no choice but to hide their mother-son relationship from him. If he takes too good care of him, he will have a sense of dependence, and it will be impossible for him to accept all kinds of trials, nor will he be able to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, let alone become the leader of the Xiling Sect.
"You two come out for me......" The Holy Maiden of Mingyue didn't want to discuss the question of whether his legs could be saved in front of Tu Qitang, so she coldly dropped a sentence and turned around and walked out.
The medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion glanced at each other, followed her down the stone stairs, and walked until they reached the range where it was impossible for Tu Qitang to hear any sound before stopping.
"Honestly, isn't there any other way to save him except my internal strength?" The Bright Moon Saintess went straight to the point, and her beautiful willow eyebrows involuntarily twisted into a ball.
The medicine gourd stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "I said that you are a person, why are you doing such a grinding!" I told you a long time ago that Tu Qitang's body is almost unbearable, it would be good if we could save his life, but now it's just that losing a pair of legs is his fate! ”
The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon snorted, and turned to face the poisonous scorpion: "Don't ask the sky, you say, is there any other way?" ”
The poisonous scorpion shook his head helplessly: "The crooked gourd is right, we didn't lie to you, Mingyue, if you want Tuqitang to recover, you must send him a lot of internal force." Crooked Gourd and I have thought about uniting the internal forces of the two of us, but in this case, we may not have the strength to heal him. As for other methods, I can only hope that Coringe will get her aunt's elixir as soon as possible......"
"Cut, even if you get any elixir, can you guarantee that it will be useful? If it's not right, it's not useless. The medicine gourd counted down disappreciatively, "In short, if you want to save Tu Qitang, you must find a way to find someone to send him internal strength, otherwise, just wait for him to be a cripple!" ”
"No, you can't! The Master must not become a cripple! The Bright Moon Holy Maiden's chest rose and fell slightly, clenched her fists tightly, and her heart struggled sharply, "Isn't it possible that the protector of the altar and the internal strength of other holy women can't be used?" Why do you have to keep an eye on me? ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" The medicine gourd flattened his mouth and said unconvinced, "Do you think that we deliberately colluded to fool you!" Holy Maiden, can you not be sentimental? No matter whose internal strength it is, as long as it can be used, those who come will not refuse, but none of them can compare with Tu Qitang, who called your sect leader's internal strength so deep, only an old guy like us can barely catch up with his level. We don't have to keep an eye on you, and we don't want to deal with you too much, so you go find someone who is similar to you, and promise not to bother you again! ”
The poisonous scorpion nodded weakly: "Mingyue, it's time like this, will we still joke with you?" This time, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, two hours is the deadline, the consequences of delaying it are unimaginable, you must know that the sooner you save people, the better. ”
Even if the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon didn't believe in the medicine gourd, she would also believe in the poisonous scorpion, she thought for a moment before saying, "So, is there any way to restore my internal strength as soon as possible?" It's been too long a year, and I'm afraid I can't wait. ”
"This, I can't say, I can only see the situation at that time. However, Mingyue, what are you worried about, if someone wants to be unfavorable to the Xiling Sect, they may not choose this time. Besides, even if someone really comes, your disciples and Dharma protectors will not eat for nothing, so naturally someone will help you! If you still don't worry, I and the crooked gourd can also block for you for a while, this is not a big talk, there are a few opponents in the world! ”
Before the poisonous scorpion could finish speaking, the medicine gourd patted him on the shoulder and shouted: "Hey, who told you to pull me in, when did I say that I wanted to be a thug for the Xiling Sect?" ”
The poisonous scorpion kept squeezing his eyebrows at him, signaling him to stop talking, but the medicine gourd seemed to have no sight at all, and shouted: "Come on, come on, she won't save her own son, let's not force it, can't you beg her!" Let's wait for the princess and Coringey to find that elixir, anyway, it's all about waiting until now. ”
"Crooked gourd, why is it that even you are consumed, it is you who say that the elixir does not work, and now it is you who are waiting for the elixir, we are saving people, not child's play." The poisonous scorpion pointed in the direction of Tu Qitang and said, "The sect leader is still waiting inside for us to save him, how can you say such frustrating words." ”
"I'm telling you the truth, you see, the only one who can save him here is her, how can she say that she doesn't want to, it's still interesting to force others?" The medicine gourd squinted at the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, "Just let her keep her little internal strength, don't regret it in the future!" Those who can be saved are not saved, but those who cannot be saved are exhausted and useless......"
"Enough, don't talk angry!" The poisonous scorpion glanced at the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon with a weak heart, and pushed the medicine gourd towards the house, "Forget it, forget it, you go and see the situation of the sect leader, and then think about whether there is any other way......"
"I'm trying to break my head, what other way is there to see your leg off and connect it for him?" The medicine gourd joked with the poisonous scorpion as he walked.
"Okay, you're still talking nonsense, let's go!" The poisonous scorpion finally sent back the medicine gourd that had been chattering endlessly, and it was quite embarrassing to come back, and he was eager to explain to the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, "I said that the moon, you must not think too much, whether it is Shengyin or Tu Qitang, they will be saved." The crooked gourd man has always been very crooked, hey, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, which means that he is a ......"
The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon raised her hand and motioned for him to stop talking, sighed faintly, and said, "Maybe I think too much, I always think that everyone wants to harm me and eradicate the Xiling Sect." Over the years, I have considered myself worthy of the Holy Sound and the Xiling Sect. But I neglected Tu Qitang's feelings, I admit that I am not a competent mother, and I always used Xiling Sect as an excuse to do everything I should do. In fact, what should be and what should not be. The medicine gourd is right, even if Princess Xie Wu brings the elixir, it may not be able to save him, not to mention whether Princess Xie Wu is the opponent of that woman, even if the medicine is real, it may not work. I keep this internal strength because I am used to believing in myself, and to tell you the truth, the Dharma Protector and the Holy Maiden of the Temple have followed me for many years, and I still can't fully trust them. ”
"You must have seen that Tu Qitang doesn't want to be the leader of the Xiling Sect, he only wants to be with Princess Xie Wu now, even if the Xiling Sect is destroyed, he won't look back. However, the Xiling Sect is my life and that of the Holy Sound, and I can't watch it be destroyed! If Tu Qitang is willing to fulfill his responsibilities and be the real sect leader, let alone ask for my internal strength, even if he wants my life, I will not hesitate. In this way, I can go to see the Holy Voice without any worries. ”
"Mingyue, why do you say that, Shengyin is fine, he will have a chance to wake up in the future, you can't give up, don't you have to wait for him to come back and reunite!" The poisonous scorpion was shocked, for fear that she would lose her fighting spirit if she wanted to lose her fighting spirit.
Mingyue smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Ask the sky, enough, you have done enough for me, and now, I should also recognize the reality and not live in illusion anymore." Shengyin has been asleep for twenty years, even if he has internal strength to protect his body, but after all, he is only a mortal with a physical body, and his body that has been frozen for twenty years can maintain its original appearance, but it cannot bring him back from the dead. ”
"Mingyue, you ......" The poisonous scorpion had never heard her admit the fact that Shengyin was dead, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but worry, "You shouldn't know everything, right?" I didn't mean to lie to you, just the Holy Sound of Him, he ......"
Mingyue's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she looked at him with a smile: "I understand, you are afraid that I will have nothing to love, and you are afraid that I will follow him, so I have had a sweet dream for twenty years." Ask God, how can I blame you, I'm grateful that it's too late! ”
"But I can't save him, I've let you down......" The scorpion bowed its head reproachfully.
"Don't say that, you wouldn't do it if it weren't for me. To tell you the truth, I knew that the Holy Voice would never come back, and even if he still had a pulse, he was indeed gone. I couldn't even hear his heartbeat, how could he possibly wake up. I just wouldn't let him go, I'm afraid of being lonely, and without him, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on myself. When you offered to save his body with thousand-year-old ice, I gladly agreed, because then I could meet him when he was still around and wanted to see him. ”
"So you always knew, so do you still believe what the crooked gourd said? He says he can save the Holy Sound, but he just wants you to let him go! The poisonous scorpion couldn't bear to deceive her anymore, so he simply took this opportunity to make it clear.
"I know that he broke the ice coffin, and he shattered my dreams, and for a moment, I couldn't fully wake up from my dreams. I was reluctant to let go of the Holy Voice, I was afraid that I would collapse. Leaving the crooked gourd is to keep this dream for myself, so that I can gradually accept this fact. But I didn't expect that Tu Qitang would also leave me, he would rather go away with a woman than stay with me and stay in Xilingjiao. ”
The poisonous scorpion said clearly: "You are afraid that Tu Qitang will leave you after he recovers, but have you ever thought that when the child grows up, it is not something you can keep if you want to." You've already given everything for the Xiling Sect, so why do you have to force your own children! I think that if the Holy Voice is still there, I will be considerate of him! ”
The Holy Maiden of Mingyue nodded: "Yes, if the Holy Yin is still there, what he cares about most may not be the Xiling Sect, but Tu Qitang." ”
"That's right, you should have thought like this a long time ago, since the person who Shengyin cares about the most is Tu Qitang, why do you want to snub him for the sake of the Xiling Sect!"
"Ask the sky, if Tu Qitang still wants to leave in the future, what should I do?" The Bright Moon Saintess raised her head, her beautiful gray eyes filled with tears.
"And me, and the Holy Voice, we will all be with you." The poisonous scorpion gently held her hand and comforted her softly.
"So, what about the Xiling Sect?" The Bright Moon Holy Maiden sobbed softly.
"In this world, nothing is eternal, you have achieved the glory of the Xiling Sect, you have fulfilled your wish for the Holy Sound, you are all complete."
"Complete, it turns out that we have been completed, yes, we still have Tu Qitang, he is the continuation of our life." The Bright Moon Saintess took a deep breath, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her lips, "I finally figured it out, I understood everything......"
