Chapter 18: Let's Talk About the Past Again
Long Qingyan's words really suppressed Su Chen and Xiyue.
The three of them fell into a temporary silence, Long Qingyan looked at the two in silence, while Su Chen and Xiyue were digesting the information brought by Long Qingyan.
Bai Jing is Su Chen's sister, and Su Xingfeng's wife, she is from the Dragon Clan! And what is even more amazing is that she is also the granddaughter of the White Dragon King, and she is a descendant of the Dragon Clan. Indeed, Su Xingfeng is one of the best people in the Daowu Palace, and his status in the cultivation world is also extraordinary, but in terms of qualifications, today's Daowu Palace is more than one head lower than the Dragon Clan!
Although Daowu Palace is inherited from a great sage of the human race a long time ago, after all, the age is too old, and there has been a historical fault in the middle, this statement actually needs to be considered. But the dragon clan is different, it has been inherited since tens of millions of years ago, and it has never been broken, it is the same as the Northern Ice Phoenix, it is the same as the four major holy clans of Shenzhou, and it is a royal family that is above many forces in the world!
It can be said that in terms of life background, Bai Jing's marriage to Su Xingfeng can indeed be said to be "getting married".
But what Su Chen felt even more incredible was that he had been with his master Bai Jing for nine years, but Bai Jing had never mentioned his true identity.
Xiyue stopped between Su Chen and Long Qingyan, and said to the latter: "Although I don't know what the relationship between you and Bai Jing's predecessors is, I don't think your relationship is at least hostile, right? In that case, there is no need for you and Su Chen to fight, because you are probably people on the same front." ”
Long Qingyan frowned and snorted, "How can I be on the same front as a rebel who kills a master!"
Xiyue said angrily: "You think what you know is the truth, how can you conclude that the truth from the Daowu Palace must be true?"
Long Qingyan didn't speak, but Su Chen said, "I don't need to explain it to everyone. ”
When Xiyue heard this, she said angrily: "You two are really ...... One is self-righteous, the other has a cramp in the head, do you want to be angry with this girl?"
Long, Su: "......"
In the woods, a bonfire was lit, Su Chen and Long Qingyan sat facing each other, and Xiyue sat between the two, roasting the fish caught from the nearby river with an expressionless face.
Long Qingyan was scolded by her like that, and she did have doubts in her heart, so she was willing to stop fighting for the time being and listen to what Su Chen and Xiyue said, and Su Chen also listened to Xiyue's words and decided to explain.
During the days when she was mixed with Su Chen, Xiyue first learned how to grill fish, which was her favorite delicacy after entering the mortal world, and now her skills in grilling fish have been perfected, and she can master the heat and use condiments well.
The forest was a little quiet, because Su Chen didn't speak for a long time, Xiyue didn't speak, and Long Qingyan stared at the fish curiously, the tempting aroma had gradually dispersed, Long Qingyan's nose twitched, and his eyes lit up unconsciously.
"I said, are you planning to keep not talking?" Xiyue asked Su Chen.
"I don't know where to start. Su Chen replied.
Xiyue said: "Just tell me what happened on the day your master and mother were killed." ”
Su Chen closed his eyes and pondered, he was thinking back to what happened that day. Memories go back, and one by one the past slowly comes to mind.
In fact, only a few months have passed, but Su Chen's memory is very messy, and the events of that day appear incoherently, but Su Chen always feels that something is missing, and there are always some chaotic places in his memory, so that he can't connect all the events of that day.
His head hurt a little, every time he touched those chaotic and disordered memories, his head began to hurt, and when he thought back to the past and wanted to connect all the events, wisps of black mist climbed up his golden pill, and in the sea of consciousness, there was also black fog that began to fill. As he reminisced more and more, the black mist became more and more condensed, as if the demon within him had been released.
And the memory was even more chaotic, Jin Dan trembled, and at the same time, the black and white qi hovering in his dantian qi sea was also restless, and there were faint signs of getting out of control.
Xi Yue's heart jumped, and she looked at Su Chen, and that weird black light began to appear on his body again, and this time the black light was different, and it seemed to have a vague human form. And Su Chen kept closing his eyes and bowing his head, and his expression became painful.
Long Qingyan's eyes widened even more, and he naturally discovered Su Chen's abnormality.
Xiyue suddenly asked Long Qingyan: "You have the same cultivation as him, are you sure to suppress him?" ”
Long Qing was puzzled, but still replied: "If it was him before, I would be fifty percent sure that I could beat him, but now it ...... like this."
Xiyue asked, "How?"
Long Qingyan sighed and said, "Do your best." ”
Xiyue nodded, and threw the fish that had not yet been baked into the fire, now is not the time to think about eating, Su Chen may demonize and run away at any time, she has suffered a big loss, so she must be prepared. It was the first time Long Qingyan saw Su Chen's abnormality, but how smart he was, he felt the trickiness from Su Chen's changes and Xiyue's questioning, and he stood up and was ready to make a move at any time.
Xiyue took a deep breath, slowly stretched out her left hand, gently held Su Chen's left hand, and then closed her eyes. His body trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed Xiyue's hand, the slightly humanoid black mist was not blocked, but it was getting thicker and thicker, almost leaving Su Chen's body.
"Su Chen, it's me, I'm Xiyue......" Xiyue's soft call came from her heart, and the cross mark on the left hand of the two of them was a bridge to convey each other's hearts, and this soft call entered Su Chen's consciousness through the imprint, making his chaotic thoughts stagnate.
Xiyue tried her best to maintain her inner peace, because at this moment, the minds of the two were connected again, and Su Chen was extremely unstable, she was afraid that if her mood fluctuated, it would affect Su Chen and accelerate his loss of control.
"Xi ...... Moon ......" A faint voice came into Xiyue's heart.
"Recite the mantra of purifying your mind to calm yourself. Xiyue suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and delivered a message to Su Chen. Fortunately, Su Chen did not completely lose control, and his reason was still retained.
"Good ......" Su Chen responded, and then a scripture that Xiyue was very familiar with came from Su Chen's side, which was the "Pure Heart Mantra" in the "Reincarnation Sutra".
Su Chen was already in a deep confusion of memories, the arrival of Xiyue Shennian was very timely, allowing him to regain his sanity on the verge of losing control and rampage, at this moment he also found his own problems, he couldn't help but be frightened, hurriedly calmed down, no longer reluctantly recalled the past, and began to silently recite the heart purification mantra to soothe his restlessness.
The scriptures from the Northern Hell Imperial Family were indeed extraordinary, and the incantation of the Pure Heart Mantra appeared with his silent recitation, suppressing the reappeared heart demon, the heart demon that had just appeared, and had not yet become a climate was forced back by the mantra like the sound of the Great Dao Tianyin, and disappeared in Su Chen's sea of consciousness and qi. And the black and white qi that was about to get out of control also calmed down again, and under Su Chen's conscious guidance, it returned to balance and sank in Su Chen's sea of qi in the form of "Tai Chi".
Long Qingyan saw that the black light outside Su Chen's body was gradually fading, and he let out a long breath, for a short while, he felt an inexplicable pressure from the person who was sitting, so he said to Xiyue before, do your best......
Fortunately, Su Chen has calmed down and is slowly returning to normal.
But Xiyue didn't withdraw her hand, she was still sensing Su Chen's heart, and she wouldn't let go until she was sure that Su Chen had fully recovered.
After a while, Su Chen opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, there was no trace of abnormality, and Xiyue also breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes.
There was still a touch from each other's palms, and the two subconsciously looked at the hands that were still holding each other, and were stunned for a moment, and then looked up at each other again......
Su Chen's face turned red, and he quickly let go, his expression was actually a little flustered.
Xiyue quickly turned sideways and hid her left hand, the firelight reflected her face, which was rarely covered with red glow, she faked coughing twice and said, "It's all you, the fish are gone!"
Su Chen snorted: "Then, then I'll catch two more ......."
Xiyue took out three fingers and said, "I want three, and this brother." ”
Su Chen nodded, stood up, and ran away.
Xiyue let out a long breath, she was suffocated just now, and she almost passed out of breath.
Long Qingyan watched the play for a long time on the side, and after Su Chen left, he said with a smile: "You two, the relationship is not ordinary......
Xiyue was stunned for a moment, and said, "Stop gossiping, sit down." ”
Long Qingyan sat down as he said, and said, "It seems that he has a big problem with himself." ”
Xiyue nodded and said: "That's right, once it comes to matters related to the murder of his master's family, his mind will become extremely unstable, when I first met him, I almost died at his hands because of this, fortunately I passed on his clan's purifying heart mantra at that time, otherwise it would ......"
Long Qingyan sighed: "It's not easy for you to go all the way with him." ”
Xiyue frowned, always feeling that he meant something else, but she didn't bother to delve into it at the moment, but asked Long Qingyan: "As far as I know, the dragon clan has five veins, among which there are four major royal veins, which are named white, green, Xuan, and red, and their clansmen all have blood relations, and the fifth vein is more special, one vein is passed on alone, and the kings of each generation may not be related by blood, but they can be equal to the four major royal veins, are you the descendant of the fifth vein of the dragon clan?"
Long Qingyan chuckled and said, "What kind of person do you think I will be?"
Xiyue also smiled: "Prince, why bother to be sloppy again?"
Long Qingyan was surprised: "What do you mean by this?"
Xiyue smiled: "Sixteen years ago, when I was born in the ruins, I saw another picture, in the place where the sun rises, there is a little dragon born at the same time as me, he is not born from the bloodline, but in the purest power of the sun, although it is a dragon, but it was born in human form, no different from me, I don't know if what I said is true?"
Long Qingyan sighed twice and said: "I have heard for a long time that the ruins are mysterious and unpredictable, and it is the place where reincarnation begins and ends, and it can reflect everything in the world, but I didn't expect my birth to be reflected as well." ”
The two looked at each other, and a tacit understanding arose, Xiyue was born in the Taiyin innate ice phoenix, and Long Qingyan was born in the sun, and what was more coincidental was that the two of them were born in the same posture at the same time. They are all saints, but they were born with human form, and they have no father and mother in blood relationship, because this day and this place are his father and mother, and I didn't know if there were the same two before, but in this life, maybe in the entire Shenzhou, there is only him and her.
Xiyue suddenly remembered the fate she was pursuing: the morning dawn has a moon, shining with the sun, the lotus opens nine leaves, and the red dragon holds a candle.
She has already determined that Su Chen is one of the people referred to in this prophecy, but she has not yet found the connection between Su Chen and this prophecy, but the person corresponding to the words "Red Dragon Rank Candle", Xi Yue already has the answer at this moment, and the dragon clan that can compete with the innate ice phoenix can only be Long Qingyan, the "innate divine dragon", not to mention that the birth of the two reveals a kind of fateful connection, so Xi Yue dares to conclude that Long Qingyan is the second person she is looking for.
"The Celestial Maiden of the North. ”
"The Prince of the Eastern Wilderness. ”
After revealing each other's identities, Xiyue and Long Qingyan smiled and high-fived, which was to recognize each other, and Long Qingyan said: "From now on, you are my friend." ”
Xiyue nodded and said, "From now on, you are also my friend. ”
Long Qingyan touched his chin and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, the two of us almost had a marriage contract." ”
Xiyue was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Long Qingyan explained: "Didn't I meet your eighteenth birthday before? I was originally forced to go to the Northern Underworld City, because Donghuang wanted to use me to marry the Northern Underworld, and the target was you. ”
Xiyue smiled and said, "That's a pity, I left home five days before my birthday, and it was useless for you to go." ”
Long Qingyan also smiled: "Actually, after I arrived at Qingzhou Stargazing City with He Shou's team, I also ran away secretly, and I didn't go to Beiming at all. ”
......
After a moment of silence, Xiyue asked unhappily, "What do you mean?
Long Qingyan said hesitantly: "What do you dislike or dislike, I haven't seen you and you want me to marry you?" ”
"Then what do you mean by not going to congratulate me on my birthday?"
"Damn, you yourself ran away from home, and you're still questioning me here, are you sick? ”
"You're sick! Your whole family is sick!"
"Can you be reasonable? It's obvious that you're making trouble!"
"I'm just unreasonable, what's the matter? I actually let a woman reason with you, look for death!"
"I ......"
Long Qingyan was speechless, Xiyue was so arrogant and liar, there was no way, who made her a woman? Long Qingyan wanted to beat her, but he couldn't do it, because he was horrified to find that he actually thought Xiyue was still very cute!
Xiyue said triumphantly there: "Do you want to beat me? Are you willing to attack such a flower-like yellow flower girl like me?"
Long Qingyan was angry, turned his face away and didn't want to pay attention to Xiyue, and Xiyue's silver-belllike laughter reached his ears, making him very tormented.
After laughing for a while, Xiyue said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, Su Chen hasn't come back yet, I'll tell you about him." ”
Hearing this, Long Qing looked at Xiyue again, and she said: "What I said is just my guess, I can't guarantee that it must be the truth, but I believe that Su Chen was wronged." ”
Long Qingyan didn't refute it, and let her continue.
Xiyue said: "Su Chen and I were able to communicate with each other for some special reasons, I knew about his childhood, and I also knew how he became a disciple of Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing, so I never thought that he would be such a rebellious person." He also briefly told me who the real murderer was, but you also saw it, and once he was asked to recall what happened that day, he was prone to lose control, so I could only make my own inferences and restore the ins and outs a little. ”
Su Chen said that the real murderer was his second uncle, who is now the acting head of Daowu Palace, Li Chungang. But Su Chen couldn't come up with evidence, and he didn't even have a chance to defend himself to his master.
Xiyue speculated that Su Xingfeng should be the next head of the Daowu Palace, while Li Chungang coveted the position of head and wanted to get rid of Su Xingfeng. Judging from Su Chen's current situation, he was manipulated, not only was it easier for him to breed demons than ordinary monks, but his cultivation had fallen to a big realm, and after he had problems, his master's family was killed, so his mutation was likely to be part of Li Chungang's plan.
However, there are many doubts in the whole incident, which Xiyue has not yet sorted out. For example, Su Chen's abnormality was done by whom, because he didn't know it; for example, how much of a role did his mutations play in Su Xingfeng's death; for example, Su Yan disappeared, where did she go? Why didn't she stand up and explain the truth and prove that Su Chen was wronged?
And what Xiyue was most puzzled about was how Su Chen escaped from Daowu Palace.
In terms of the situation at that time, he himself had a huge problem, and Li Chungang obviously wanted to kill him and kill him, how could he tolerate Su Chen's escape? He issued a reward order to kill Su Chen's mouth, so something must have happened in the Daowu Palace at that time to allow Su Chen to escape.
After listening to Xiyue's statement, Long Qingyan also felt a lot of unusual things, especially the inference from her mouth, which was almost completely opposite to the news that Long Qingyan heard from Daowu Palace, which also made him even more suspicious of the authenticity of the news.
"I think there are three ways to know the truth," he said. First, help Su Chen, so that he can recall the events of that day normally and not get out of control; second, find Su Yan, she is Su Xingfeng's daughter, she has also experienced the same thing, she must know the truth, and her words are very convincing; third, let Li Chungang tell the truth by himself. ”
Xi Yue smiled bitterly and said, "In comparison, the first method seems to be the easiest, but the most unconvincing, now apart from you and me, who will believe Su Chen?"
Long Qing said, "Aren't your clansmen objecting to you and Su Chen walking together?"
Xi Yue sighed and said, "For our clan, how can a small Terran monk get into the eyes of the royal family, and what value does it have for the royal family to come forward? Although the elders do not object to me and Su Chen accompanying him, they do not plan to come forward to help him. ”
Long Qingyan thought about it, and it was true, so he said: "Anyway, I plan to travel around and practice, so it's better to be with you." ”
Xiyue was surprised: "Are you convenient?"
Long Qingyan said with a smile: "For the sake of friends, what is convenient and inconvenient." ”
Xiyue said, "Then are you going to treat him as a friend?"
Long Qing said: "What's not to do? Not only is it a friend, but it will also be a good opponent." ”
Xiyue looked at him wordlessly, and Long Qingyan said: "Besides, if he gets out of control one day, I'm afraid you alone won't be able to suppress him, for the sake of your safety, I also need to follow." What's more, I also want to know what the truth is, first, Aunt Bai Jing is from my dragon clan, and she can't die in vain. Second, my friend, how can I tolerate others wronging him!"
Xiyue was a little moved, but on the first day they met, Long Qingyan was able to say this kind of thing, it seems that he really recognized Xiyue and Su Chen as friends, how could ordinary people do this.
"Okay, let's work together to help Su Chen clear his grievances and seek justice for your Aunt Bai Jing. Xiyue said solemnly.
"Good. Long Qingyan also nodded solemnly.
In the woods not far away, Su Chen leaned against a big tree, and in the dark, warm tears slid down, but he didn't cry.
It took him a while to wipe away his tears, adjust his mood, and make himself look like nothing had happened, and then he walked out of the woods and came to his two friends.
"Oh, you want fish. Su Chen gave the fish to Xiyue and watched her smile and get busy.
"I didn't scare you just now. Su Chen teased.
"I'm going to be scared by you?" Long Qingyan smiled and said, "Do you still want to do two tricks with me?"
Su Chen squinted at him: "Teach me to be a man? You are not a human, how can you teach me?"
Long Qingyan was dumbfounded for a while, trying to find a rebuttal, but he couldn't think of it for a long time, this Su Chen directly hit the dead hole in his words, and it was not good to return the salute if he wanted to.
"Hey, I'll tell you ......"
Xiyue looked at the two people who didn't move their hands with a smile, and was in a good mood for a while, how can a real friend be so polite, and there is no need to talk about everything. Su Chen thought he was covering it up well, but did he forget that Xi Yue and him could communicate with each other? He heard the conversation between the two friends, and when he hid in the woods and was quietly moved to tears, Xi Yue sensed it, but Xi Yue didn't plan to pierce Su Chen, that would make no sense, leave everything to time.
Or, let this be Su Chen and her secret.
