Chapter Twenty-Three: A Visitor from the West Pole
More than ten days after Charlotte left, the door of the 'Burning Tower' was pushed open again.
The warm light shone through the gate on the cold chains, and the tower was pitch black, all the windows were tightly closed, and thousands of huge chains surrounded Yuhai Muxian.
She looked up wearily at the six figures in front of the door. It may be because she is too tired, or it may be because she has been in the dark environment for a long time, and for a while she can't see who the figure in front of her is.
Confucius couldn't help but sigh and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mu Xian." This time it took a lot longer than expected..."In the past, after the seal, Mu Xian needed to retreat in the tower for a maximum of three or four days, but this time it was actually as long as dozens of days, and the 'divine beast' in Mu Xian's body was completely suppressed.
β... I'm afraid something went wrong with the seal..."Confucius said uneasily in his heart.
He walked into the tower, followed by Kong Liehao, Li Zhong and others, observing the tower with a heavy heart. Except for Kong Liehao, the other four people were all stepping into this forbidden place for the first time, and it was inevitable that they couldn't help but look around with curiosity.
"Is this the secret that Charlotte and Grandpa are hiding?" Kong Liehao muttered.
Confucius waved his hand lightly, and the thousands of Dao Dao gradually retreated as if they had spiritual powers, returning to where they should be. Yuhai Muxian seemed to have let go of a lot of burdens, and supported the floor with his hands like a prostration.
"Senior Sister Mu Xian, are you okay?" Yashuang exclaimed, seeing this, she walked quickly to help Mu Xian up, and helped her tidy up her clothes by the way.
"I'm fine, thank you. β
Confucius sighed, walked up to Yuhai Mu Xian, took out a white jade pill bottle and handed it to Mu Xian. "Drink some, it's a great help for recovery. β
Mu Xian nodded in response, picked up the Dan bottle and drank it in a small sip. Half a moment later, her face began to regain its blood, and her strength gradually returned.
"Thank you, Master, huh, why don't you see Senior Brother Charlotte?" she looked around for half a circle, and realized that she didn't see Charlotte.
Li Zhong and the other four looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.
"Charlotte..."
"Senior Brother Xia Luo, he has been expelled, and he has nothing to do with Kong Shangfu anymore. The master sighed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by his grandson.
"He seriously injured Wuma Guanyu and destroyed half of the Longdu Mansion. I'm afraid they're fighting the Assassins across the continent right now. β
"In order not to implicate Kong Shangfu, Senior Brother deliberately asked the master to expel him, so that the eyes of the entire Longdu Mansion will be on him, and there will be a lot of pressure on this side. β
"But Senior Brother is also for you..."
β... So please remember. β
With a pop, the white jade pill bottle fell to the ground.
β... How... Why...," the girl exclaimed, covering her mouth.
Confucius shook his head and said, "Enough, Mu Xian, you better go back and rest more." I'll talk about these things in detail when you recover. β
"Well, let's go back. The master sighed, turned and walked out of the door. The sun shone on his body, and the old man's figure seemed to be even older.
......
After placing Yuhai Muxian, Yashuang closed the wooden door behind her and looked at the people in front of her.
"So... What kind of divine beast and demon fox in Senior Sister's body is the snow-capped mountain that Master picked up and saw when we came back eleven years ago?" Qinglin said, "But we were still young at the time, so we really can't remember clearly. β
"But what will Senior Sister Mu Xian do from now on? Senior Brother Xia Luo, the only one who has mastered the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', is gone. And we don't have the means to cultivate the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision'... Do you really want to find one more person who is a 'human' bloodline and has zero elemental affinity to replace it?" Gang Xing couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Senior Brother Charlotte's condition is really rare in a hundred years, not only does he meet the cultivation conditions, but it can be said that there are very few people who can master the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', and it is even more rare to find someone who can trust and hold this position. Kong Liehao explained.
"Besides, we don't need to look for one more qualified person. β
"Then what do you say?" asked Gangxing.
"The five of us happen to be proficient in mastering the five different elements, with the core meaning of 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', the five elements are endless, as long as we fully cooperate, we can also achieve the effect of 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision'. β
"Therefore, we don't need to cultivate the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', but we need to make the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision' with cooperation. If it succeeds, it may be even more effective than Brother Charlotte can do alone. β
"That's why at that time, Xia Luo asked you to come back and find Confucius in person, I'm afraid that person has already left a follow-up plan from the moment he left Confucius Mansion. Kong Liehao said.
"Hmm, I don't understand much... Anyway, let's just cooperate fully, right?!" Li Zhong touched his bald head in confusion, "But, Senior Brother Kong, how do you know that Senior Brother Xia Luo asked us to come back to explain to the master?"
"Ahem, you don't have to worry about this. Kong Liehao coughed to hide his embarrassment.
After hearing this, Confucius nodded in agreement, "That's right, even if you don't come to the old man, the old man will come to you for help." After all, the situation is getting worse and worse. β
When the Master was about to open his mouth to explain the key to the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision' for the five people to refer to, an elder hurried over and said urgently, "Master, there is a man named Dennis who has asked to see you, and he is already waiting for you in the hall. β
He said that he came today to discuss something important with you. β
Confucius's pupils shrank suddenly, and after nodding, he said, "Okay, the old man will come soon." β
Then he told the five of them to go back to rest, and he hurried away with the elder.
......
About six or seven extremely luxurious carriages docked in front of the gate of Kongshangfu, and an old butler in a neat suit looked at the guards in front of the door with a smile.
"No, listen to me, I really can't let you know without the consent of the elders or the invitation..."Before the guard could finish speaking, the butler's eyes narrowed slightly, and the guard suddenly couldn't say anything.
It was as if tens of millions of hands were clenching his throat, getting closer and closer, and it became harder and harder to breathe. His face flushed, he coughed several times, trying to say something, but in despair he found that he couldn't make any sound out of his mouth.
Suddenly, a palm rested on the guard's shoulder, and in an instant he regained his breath. The guard breathed greedily and looked fearfully at the kind-faced old butler in front of him.
"Well, little brother. Since you are silent and do not speak, it means that you acquiesce and recognize that we can go in. The old butler smiled slightly, and old wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Then, ignoring the guard, he turned and walked to the carriage that led him. He straightened his chest, respectfully opened the carriage door, and said to the master in the carriage in a respectful tone: "Miss, we have arrived at Kongshang Mansion. β
"Hmm. A young and pleasant voice came from inside the carriage, and I saw a young girl dressed in the costume of the Western Pole aristocracy stepping out of the carriage, her long white hair showing some pale gold in the sunlight. Her delicate face is the work of an ancient craftsman, and even the best-looking dolls in the world are eclipsed by hers, and her dark blue eyes, as beautiful as the ocean, look ahead.
She gracefully took the butler's hand and stepped out of the carriage.
"Is this the Confucian Mansion?" the voice was like a heavenly sound.
"Well, then it's time to meet, my dear fiancΓ©. β
