Chapter 90: Farewell
The male demons in the demon race have been born with elven ears since childhood, and their ears are long and pointed, and their hearing is extremely sensitive, which is very different from humans. But in order to hide their identity, the demons will also seal the hearing in both ears, so that their ears do not appear alien, and their appearance is the same as that of humans, and at the same time, the demonic nature of the demons will be suppressed to a minimum. There have also been people in the demon clan who let the demon clan's young infant spirit hearing seal mix it into some martial arts sects as an internal response, and when the seal is broken, the demon nature returns, and these infant spirits know their mission when they become adults, and bring some of the secrets of the martial arts sect back to the demon clan.
However, even if they were able to hide the elven ears, the demons would never be able to contain the pure qi between heaven and earth, which was why Ling Jiutian and You Sifang were skeptical about Long Yuan's identity as a demon.
But their ancestor is an extreme radical who has an attitude towards the demon clan that "I'd rather kill three thousand by mistake than let go of one". Three hundred years ago, their ancestor Dragon War almost killed an innocent human baby by mistake, so they chose to retreat for a long time in order to cultivate their temperament.
More than 100 years later, Long Zhan passed the position of head to their master Chopin, and then killed some demon forces in the world. Chopin also persuaded Long Zhan, but Long Zhan said that if he killed by mistake, he would fight with his life, and he always refused to change his own opinion, and Chopin had no choice. Fortunately, not long after that, Long Zhan chose to retreat again.
If their master learned that their master was killed by the demon clan after leaving the customs, if they learned that Long Yuan had been demonized, who would care if Long Yuan was really a demon or not, he would definitely kill him first.
"Then senior brother, what are your plans? Now we are not sure whether Yuan'er is really a demon, if the master comes out and finds that Yuan'er will be demonized, he will definitely immediately pinch Yuan'er's form, and no one can speak. You Sifang felt a headache when he thought of his ancestor's violent temper. Three hundred years ago, their uncle and ancestor were seriously injured and fell by the design of many strong people of the demon race, so this ancestor of his hated the demon race and couldn't get rid of it.
"The males of the demons will grow elven ears at the age of eighteen, so the only way to do this is to let Yuan'er leave the villa first. Even if he is really a demon, I will dispose of him after he becomes a demon. ”
Ling Jiutian sighed, shook his head again, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Yuan'er is sixteen this year, and there are still two years. I was going to let him go out and practice as well. Now, let him go for two years. If the sealing mana of the elven ear disappears after two years, it is the last thing you and I want to see. If Yuan'er can come back, it will prove my guess wrong. ”
"But Yuan'er hasn't received the baptism of induction yet, and there are many dangers outside, in case Yuan'er is really not a demon, he will have to suffer a lot outside. You Sifang said. He never believed that Long Yuan would be a demon, and if he was allowed to leave the villa, he didn't know how much he would suffer with this child's temperament.
"Induction baptism takes seven days, and now time is running out. Let him find a loose cultivator organization in the world to receive induction baptism. Ling Jiutian closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked a little depressed.
How so.
You Sifang also couldn't say the taste of unknown origin in his heart.
"Although Yuan'er has blunt qualifications, he is extremely filial to you and me, and I love him no less than Lan'er. I've always regarded it as my own, and two years later, if one day doesn't fulfill someone's wishes, do you and I really want to take action? Ling Jiutian looked into the distance and asked You Sifang.
You Sifang was just silent, only a sigh.
Half a day later.
Ling Jiutian and You Sifang sat in the front two seats of the hall, his face was still a little pale, obviously his injuries were more serious.
You Sifang said to Long Yuan: "The Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas may reappear in the world in two years, but it will only stay in the world for one year. You have a bad journey to find the "Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas" this time, but you have to be careful. Your ancestor wants to get out, I can't leave, and I can't protect you. ”
Ling Jiutian discussed with You Sifang and decided to find a reason for Long Yuan to stay outside for two years before returning to the villa, and it happened that there were rumors that the "Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas" was about to be born, and You Si conveniently made up a pretext, saying that Ling Jiutian's injuries could only be healed by the methods in the "Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas", and asked Long Yuan to find this treasure book.
"Uncle Shi rest assured, in order to heal Master's injuries, the disciple must do his best to find the "Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas" before it disappears. ”
Long Yuan looked at the injured Ling Jiutian and felt a heartache. He was an orphan, and before he was one year old, he was carried into Longyin Villa by Ling Jiutian from the snow, and he replaced him as his own for sixteen years. In Long Yuan's heart, his master is like his biological father, and Longyin Villa is his home, regardless of the size of the world.
"You and your brothers have never been far away from the villa, from today on, you must be self-reliant, you must be calm when you encounter things outside, and you must not be impulsive and reckless. As a teacher, I saw that you grew up and knew that you were kind in nature, but there was a dragon in your bones. I hope you don't go astray when you go out...... I'm waiting for you to come back. ”
Ling Jiutian was injured in his body, and his tone was vain, but these words knocked on Long Yuan's heart word by word. Long Yuan couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily.
"Dad, it's not like I'm not coming back, look at what you said, it sounds weird and scary. Ling Qinglan said.
A trace of sadness flashed in Ling Jiutian's eyes, I hope this child can come back.
Long Yuan walked up to Su Donghe and said, "Senior brother, you have to take care of your master and senior brothers. ”
Su Donghe put one hand on Long Yuan's shoulder and said, "Master originally wanted you to go out and practice and sharpen your mind. Be tolerant outside, don't make trouble with your temperament, and insult the reputation of Longyin Villa. Take care of yourself. ”
Long Yuan nodded.
"Master's notice is urgent, Senior Brother has nothing to give you, treat people with courtesy outside, and sharpen your temperament, this is a book "Book of Rites" is my favorite book to read, you have nothing to read outside, right and wrong, black and white. With that, Su Donghe took out a somewhat old copy of "The Book of Rites" from his arms and handed it to Long Yuan.
Long Yuan took it and cherished it in his arms, and said, "Thank you, senior brother, I will read it from time to time." ”
"Second Senior Brother. Long Yuan looked at Chen Yu.
"There is me and senior brother here, you can go with confidence and protect your own safety. Chen Yu asked. He was also a little puzzled by the fact that the master was so anxious to let Long Yuan leave the villa, after all, Long Yuan had not received the baptism of induction, it was always too dangerous to go out like this, there were still many loose cultivators in the world, these scattered cultivators were not all good people, if Long Yuan provoked some, he would always suffer a big loss. However, thinking of his master's vomiting of blood after returning from Fengyi Villa, and being seriously injured a few days ago, Chen Wei also faintly felt that his master's injury might be related to his little junior brother, and the person who shot in the villa may be the mysterious person that day.
Chen Wei didn't ask the doubts in his heart, since the master had a plan, they just had to obey.
"Xiao Yuanzi, why don't you just go out for a walk, don't be sad and sad like life and death. When you come back, your senior brother, I should also take you to Gentle Township to be happy, hehe. Qi Meiran said with a wicked smile, but there was a little reluctance in her eyes. Before the smile was gone, Qi Meiran suddenly felt like a needle prick on her foot, and subconsciously looked down to see an embroidered shoe pressed against the surface of her foot.
"It hurt......s," Qi Meiran cried.
"It's you who brought my brother badly. Ling Qinglan's beautiful eyes were slightly angry, and she blamed Qi Meiran, but there was no loosening under her feet.
"Stinky girl, Xiao Yuanzi is your senior brother, am I not, you know that one over the other. After that, a dodge slid to Long Yuan's side and put one hand on Long Yuan's shoulder and said, "When you come back, my brother will take you to eat all over Yueyang City, and this stinky girl will die in a hurry." ”
Long Yuan chuckled, in the entire Longyin Villa, except for his uncle You Sifang, Qi Meiran favored him the most.
After reining in a little separation, Long Yuan said goodbye to Gai Yun and Jing Chiyue. They had all heard Su Donghe say more than once that their little junior brother lacked experience, so when they learned that Long Yuan was going to leave the villa to train, they were also prepared in their hearts, but they were not particularly sad.
Long Yuan finally said to Ling Qinglan, "Senior sister, I'm leaving." ”
Ling Qinglan no longer treated Qi Meiran with the same coquettishness as before, looked at Long Yuan with a smile, and asked, "Do you have anything to tell me?"
"Hmm...... It is estimated that I will not be able to clean up in front of my mother's grave on the day of my mother's death in the future, so don't forget to tell my mother that I am going out. ”
"Hmm!" Ling Qinglan bowed slightly.
"Then I'm leaving. With that, Long Yuan turned around and was about to leave.
"Poof!" Qi Meiran couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Ling Qinglan glared at Qi Meiran with shame and anger, Qi Meiran hurriedly stopped smiling and moved a few steps away at the same time.
"Yuan'er. Ling Jiutian stopped Long Yuan.
"Master, if you have any other instructions, the disciple will take care of himself, and you should also take care of yourself. Long Yuan said.
Ling Jiutian waved his hand, and a few books flew towards Long Yuan, and then he said: "These books will be useful to you in the future, after leaving the villa, you can go to some martial arts organization called the Baptistery Hall, and someone will receive you there." ”
Then Ling Jiutian grabbed his hand on his chest, and a small dragon formed by condensed true qi appeared in his hand, and the little dragon snaked and soared in Ling Jiutian's hand, roaring endlessly, making the hearts of everyone present palpitate.
Ling Jiutian pointed in the air, and the little dragon flew towards Long Yuan's forehead along the finger, and lines appeared on Long Yuan's forehead.
Long Yuan suddenly felt an extremely powerful force gather in his body, filling all parts of his body, and then converging on his forehead.
"Senior brother, you ......" You Sifang couldn't help but cry out when he saw Ling Jiutian like this. This is the talisman of Longyin Villa, it is the head of Longyinliu to condense his own cultivation, if the disciples of the villa have a talisman dragon talisman, they can release the dragon talisman at a critical moment to protect their own safety.
With the talisman drawn by Ling Jiutian's cultivation, even if Long Yuan encounters a strong person in the Qi Spirit Realm, he can rely on this talisman to protect himself at a critical moment. However, Ling Jiutian forcibly copied the talisman with his current physical condition, but he needed to overdraw his own vitality.
When the dragon-shaped veins on Long Yuan's head flashed a few times and then disappeared, Ling Jiutian coughed heavily.
Long Yuan raised his eyes and saw that the hair on both of his temples was gray, his face was pale, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, he knew that this was the protection that the master had set up for him because he was afraid that he would be in danger outside.
Kneeling on his knees, Long Yuan kowtowed heavily to his master, wiped away his tears, and then strode out of the living room.
Long Yuan was about to leave the villa, Ling Jiutian only notified a few disciples who had entered the house, so Long Yuan didn't go to say goodbye to Mr. Xue and the others, what he wanted to do most now was to find the mountain and sea treasure book mentioned by his uncle as soon as possible.
Ling Jiutian and You Sifang looked at Long Yuan's distant back and looked at each other, both with a look of reluctance. But in case the child does grow elven ears in the future, it is better to let him go now.
Ling Qinglan chased out of the door, called out to Long Yuan, handed him a burden and said, "Senior brother, you take these clothes and dry food with you. As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Little junior sister, no need, I won't let myself be cold and hungry outside. It's still troublesome to carry, so I won't bring it. ”
Ling Qinglan pouted and said, "Hmph, you idiot!" said as she stuffed the burden into Long Yuan's arms, turned around and ran back, whimpering and returning to the boudoir.
Only Ling Jiutian and You Sifang were left in the hall.
"Senior brother, did you really give the 'Dragon Born Nine Sons' to Yuan'er? That's the treasure of our town faction. ”
"Well, no matter what, I have raised Yuan'er for sixteen years, how can this relationship be said to be given up. I handed over "Dragon Born Nine Sons" to him, and if Yuan'er really didn't change in two years, the book would naturally come back. If he really changes and becomes a demon, let him have an explanation. Those forces lurking in the shadows planted Yuan'er beside us, most of them for the sake of this book, so let him take it to the errand. On that day, the master and apprentice became mortal enemies, and I would not keep him in the world. ”
Ling Jiutian let out a long sigh, at present, all kinds of signs showed that Long Yuan was very likely to be the demon in the demon clan, but he had been sealed with the demon nature, and had not yet shown the characteristics of the demon.
Being able to hide Long Yuan so deep in this way must have a plan. The two most important treasures of the town faction in Longyin Villa are the martial arts of Long Lingzhu and Longsheng Nine Sons, since the people behind the scenes designed Long Yuan to lurk in Longyin Villa, they basically wanted to seize these two things. For the sake of master and apprentice, Ling Jiutian didn't feel too distressed when he asked Long Yuan to take away this martial art. In case Long Yuan is not a member of the demon clan, then this martial art can just allow him to comprehend.
You Sifang nodded, if they really got to that step of the field, everything was beyond their control.
"Since you and your sister have been married for many years without an heir, my sister wants to hold a child more and more anxiously, just sixteen years ago Yuan'er fell at the gate of the villa, at that time the sister hugged Yuan'er, happy like a little girl who did not go out of the cabinet. A month after Yuan'er appeared, the junior sister was also pregnant, and later Lan'er. But the junior sister still loves Yuan'er like that, and says that Yuan'er is your blessing every day. It's a pity that the junior sister went away within a few years, and you have aged a lot all of a sudden, and your love for the junior sister has also been transferred to Yuan'er and Lan'er. Even if Yuan'er really isn't of our race, do you want to do it? You Sifang shook his head, feeling empty in his heart.
"The disciples of the Martial Sect combine with each other, and it is extremely difficult to reproduce, and you have long regarded Yuan'er as your own son. You Sifang continued.
Ling Jiutian didn't speak, just looked into the distance. Soon after, he laughed at himself and said, "Why don't you love him, you treat your junior sister like your own sister, and Yuan'er doesn't regard it as your own in your heart." Although I have the control of "Dragon Born Nine Sons", but you don't need to open it in advance with a key, how can I give it to Yuan'er. ”
You Sifang and Ling Jiutian looked at each other for a long time, a wry smile, and then they all sighed. They are all old, and they still deceive themselves.
No matter what, to find out what happened to this child, this was the thought in Ling Jiutian and You Sifang's hearts.
Now that the master ancestor is about to leave the customs, they have to let Long Yuan leave.
"I hope there is no change in Yuan'er's trip. Ling Jiutian whispered. He also remembered that Long Yuan was born with not very smart ears, and he was not angry with a few senior brothers when he was a child. Even her own daughter was jealous of Long Yuan all day long before her mother passed away, robbing her mother of her mother's favor to her, and she was angry with Long Yuan if she had nothing to do.
It was not easy for Ling Jiutian to get a daughter, and he was reluctant to teach Ling Qinglan a lesson, so Long Yuan could only complain to his mother, and every time he finished complaining, Ling Qinglan had to be beaten by her mother's feather duster. Ling Qinglan was arrogant and rude when she was young, especially resentful, and she had to find trouble with Long Yuan after being beaten, so Ling Jiutian gave Long Yuan to You Sifang and let Long Yuan sleep with his uncle, so as not to make trouble with the two little enemies again, and at the same time bought Long Yuan a lot of snacks to comfort him.
Later, Ling Jiutian's wife passed away, and Ling Jiutian took over the strictness of his wife's teaching to the children. Show your love for your disciples in another way. Long Yuan has also been sensible since he was a child, except for being a little stubborn and admitting death, he is even liked by Ling Jiutian and You Sifang. Therefore, the two of them have always regarded Long Yuan as their own child in their hearts, so they don't want to see the scene they least want to see.
An hour later, Long Yuan had already left Yueyang City, this side of the water and soil had nurtured Long Yuan for sixteen years, Long Yuan looked back outside the city gate, and set off to the south with reluctance.
