Chapter 1194: The turmoil stops, and Fleur dies
When Ling Yu's gaze turned to the eighth stone carving, his brows couldn't help but furrow, and a strange look appeared on his face, as if he was very puzzled about the content of the stone carving.
It turned out that there was nothing carved on the eighth stone carving, there were no mountains, rivers, plants and trees, no bright stars, and no living beasts. The whole stone carving is as smooth as a mirror, just like the Danqing Holy Hand who carved the first seven stone carvings deliberately left blank.
And just when Ling Yu was puzzled, he suddenly found that a faint layer of clouds and mist had risen on the eighth stone carving, and under the clouds and mist, a layer of ripple-like lines faintly emerged. It's like a layer of enchantment, and it's like a layer of gates, which is very strange.
Looking at the gradually blurred stone carving, Ling Yu took two more steps forward, came to the stone carving, stretched out his hands, and stroked towards the stone carving.
However, at the moment when Ling Yu's fingers touched that layer of hazy mist, a terrifying force suddenly came from the stone carving, directly sending Ling Yu flying.
When he felt the crisis, Ling Yu's Holy Dragon armor was instantly summoned. The golden dragon scales shone brightly, illuminating the entire cave mansion incomparably brightly.
However, even if Ling Yu's cultivation was exquisite, he still had no power to resist under the huge power of the stone carving. He was knocked several feet away and slammed into the stone wall behind him.
"Wow!"
Ling Yu was unexpectedly shocked by the huge force of the stone carving, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Ling Yu felt as if her internal organs were on fire, and the heat was unbearable. He hurriedly swallowed an ice chalcedony jade dew pill to relieve the sharp pain in his chest.
Ling Yu struggled to his feet and cautiously walked towards the stone carving.
Since the stone carving has such a majestic power, it is clear that the content of the eighth stone carving is beyond his imagination. So, driven by curiosity, Ling Yu forgot about her fears.
When Ling Yu came to the stone carving again, he found that the stone carving seemed to have triggered some mysterious prohibition because of his own contamination. Under the flow of clouds and mist, a magnificent pattern slowly appeared in Ling Yu's eyes.
This stone carving is slightly different from the previous seven stone carvings, because the first seven stone carvings that Ling Yu has seen are all integrated, and the landscape presented is extremely complete.
However, the eighth stone carving is split in two in the middle. The stone carvings on the left are gray, the stone carvings on the right are gold, and the patterns in the stone carvings on the left and right sides are diametrically opposed.
Ling Yu took a deep breath and took the lead in looking towards the stone carving on the left.
The stone carvings on the left side show a desolate apocalyptic scene, with countless corpses piled up in the barren mountains, floating in the rivers and rivers, and even swimming in the sea of stars.
Half of the red sun seemed to have been knocked off, and the light was no longer blazing. The blood of living beings gathered into a river, and even Ling Yu could smell the thick blood through the stone carvings.
As far as the eye can see, there are no living creatures, as if the heaven and earth carved in the stone have undergone an unimaginable catastrophe. All the creatures, the mountains, and the stars were destroyed.
Looking at the desolate scene in front of her, Ling Yu gasped, and her heart was a little blocked. It seems to be infected by the apocalyptic scenes in the stone carvings, and a wisp of sadness rises in my heart.
After a long time, Ling Yu finally withdrew his gaze, he shook his head, put the depression in his heart behind, and looked towards the right side of the eighth stone carving.
The right side of the eighth stone carving shimmers with golden light, and wisps of golden aura circulate through the clouds, rippling with holy charm, reflecting the image of prosperity.
In the scenery manifested on the right side of the eighth stone carving, the ground is lined with high mountains, green water, stars and moonlight in the sky, and the scorching sun. Countless cultivators have traveled with swords and traveled among the four seas. The people are smiling, the men are ploughing and the women are weaving, the rivers and lakes are angry, the market is angry, the fireworks are angry, and all kinds of red dust from Huaxia and the sea of stars are intertwined with each other, which is extremely pleasant.
If the left side of the eighth stone carving is the end scene, then the stone carving on the right side presents the other extreme of the opposite, prosperity, luxury, and warmth.
Looking at the two completely different scenes manifested on the same stone carving, Ling Yu's expression was complicated and silent.
He knew that the sixth stone carving represented the past, the seventh stone carving represented the present, and the eighth stone carving also foreshadowed the future. The stone carvings here are not unusual because they can deduce the past and the future. But even the stone carvings are uncertain about the future, so is there really an unpredictable variable in the future?
With Ling Yu's sigh, the eighth stone carving gradually blurred, and the two previously manifested scenes disappeared at the same time. When the picture disappeared, the clouds and mist rippled again, the flowing spiritual power slowly disappeared, and finally everything returned to calm, and the stone carvings were smooth as mirrors again.
When everything was back to the beginning, Ling Yu shook his head, he had been patrolling the cave for a long time, and knew it was time to leave. Before, Ling Yu wanted to find the inheritance of "Dead Wood Divine Skill" and puppetry, but now, Ling Yu was very sure that there were no such two things here.
Ling Yu walked to the edge of the small pond in the center, collected a few spirit grasses with very high medicinal age, and finally glanced around the eight stone carvings in the cave, and returned the same way.
No one has been here for a long time, so the contents of the stone carvings are supposed to be hidden. At least for the cultivators in the outside world, they didn't know that behind the side hall of the Elder Pavilion, there was such a strange place hidden.
And Ling Yu collected herbs because there were several elixirs on the "Incense Record" that needed to be refined with a few herbs here. Ling Yu, as the owner of the Xuanmiao Nunnery, has the right to take them away.
When Ling Yu returned to the side hall, he turned the spiritual position and sealed the passage again.
Ling Yu stood in front of the spiritual seat, looking at the spirit cards of the elders and masters of the Xuanmiao Nunnery in the past dynasties, and was stunned. Before, he thought that Xuan Miaoan was just one of the four gates of the righteous path, and the background was not necessarily very rich, but now it seems that he is too lonely and unheard.
Not to mention those 100,000 or even millions of years of spiritual elixirs, just those few stone carvings are enough to attract the covetousness of all the strong. That's where the Heavenly Opportunity can be deduced!, but Ling Yu didn't plan to tell the disciples of Xuan Miao'an about this.
First, for the disciples of Xuanmiaoan, that ancient cave is a place that only the owner of the nunnery is qualified to enter, and since the ancestors of Xuanmiaoan have this provision, they obviously don't want to leak this matter. Second, even if he told his disciples about what was in the cave, it didn't make any sense.
What Ling Yu was most worried about at this time was the content presented on those stone carvings. Judging from the stone carvings, there are two things that worry Ling Yu the most. First, the mastermind behind the scenes is not the red ghost, but someone else. Second, the future is full of uncertainties.
"The Lord!"
Just as Ling Yu was pondering, he suddenly heard a respectful report coming from behind him.
Hearing the words of the woman behind her, Ling Yu slowly turned her head and asked with a smile, "Qingwan, what happened?"
It turned out that the cultivator who entered the side hall was Yan Suyi's eldest disciple, Qingwan.
Previously, Qingwan was ordered to guard the main hall of Xuanmiaoan, because there were several elders of Xuanmiaoan. They are aiding and abetting abuse, and they are not allowed to escape.
Later, when Ling Yu used the "Pure Heart Technique" to awaken the puppet, the six elders also fainted in the main hall as if they had lost their souls.
Qingwan was worried that something would happen to the Elders' Pavilion, so she chased after this place.
"Oh, that's right, the six elders in the main hall who were controlled by us suddenly fainted, and I was worried that the senior brother in charge would be in danger, so I came to help. ”
Hearing Ling Yu's inquiry, Qing Wan hurriedly saluted Ling Yu with a fist and said truthfully.
"yes, I see. Those elders were controlled by Liu Furong's minds, although they had their own consciousness, but that wisp of consciousness was very vague. Now that Liu Furong's method of controlling the puppet has been broken by me, those elders will naturally faint because they lost control. Ling Yu nodded and briefly recounted what had happened before.
"That'...... Senior Brother Leader, what should we do with those six elders?" Qingwan pondered for a moment and asked Ling Yu again.
"They...... Alas, though they are at fault, they are not guilty unto death. Moreover, after all, they have also made great contributions to Xuan Miaoan. Now that Liu Furong has confessed her guilt, let's expel them from Xuanmiao'an. Ling Yu was not a murderous person, sighed.
"Senior brother in charge is kind-hearted and magnanimous, it is really the blessing of my Xuanmiaoan!" Hearing Ling Yu's decision, a trace of admiration appeared in Qingwan's eyes.
"Back to the master, Senior Sister Qingwan, Liu Furong appeared in front of the master's tomb, she, she ......" Just as Ling Yu and Qingwan were talking, another report came.
Ling Yu and Qing Wan looked out of the side hall at the same time, and found that the person who came was Su Mengqiu, who had been sent to the cemetery by Ling Yu to protect Yan Suyi's grave.
Hearing Su Mengqiu's words, Qingwan Xing's eyes widened, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she said coquettishly: "This old witch is still not dead! Where is she? I must kill her with my own hands, and Xuanmiaoan will be a bright place!"
Qingwan thought that Liu Furong was a thief, and went to the cemetery to do evil to the grave.
"Senior Sister Qingwan, no, no, it's Liu Furong ......" Seeing Qingwan's face like frost and anger, Su Mengqiu hurriedly explained.
"Did Liu Furong commit suicide in front of Senior Yan's grave?" Before Su Mengqiu could finish speaking, Ling Yu opened her mouth to interrupt Su Mengqiu, whose face was flushed, and chuckled.
"Senior brother in charge, how do you know? Liu Furong has indeed committed suicide in front of the master's grave. Liu Furong escaped from the main hall before, and I was worried that she would not give up on the master's grave, so I sneaked out and waited in the cemetery. ”
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for her to go and return. But I didn't see the senior brother in charge, and I was worried that you would be hurt by Liu Furong. Therefore, I have been secretly monitoring Liu Furong's every move. ”
"I know that Liu Furong has already discovered me, but she didn't embarrass me. Moreover, it seems that she did not come to the master's grave this time to destroy the master's grave, but more like she came to repent. ”
"Because I was so far away from her, I didn't hear what she was saying. But when I saw her weeping, she should be repenting and admitting her mistakes. Just as I was about to get closer, I saw her take out a dagger and kill herself. I knew that this matter was not trivial, so I hurriedly came here to report it to the master. ”
Su Mengqiu did not hide it, and explained everything that happened before.
"Hmph, even if this Liu Furong is knowledgeable, if she hadn't committed suicide in fear of sin, the senior brother in charge would definitely kill her and sacrifice her head to the master!" Qing Wan snorted coldly.
"Senior sister, actually, in fact, I think Liu Furong seems to have really changed her ways in the end. The tears in her eyes and the remorse on her face didn't look fake......" Hearing Qingwan's words, Su Mengqiu stole her eyes at the other party and whispered.
"Hey, you dead girl, why are you so soft-hearted! She even killed Master Tai for the sake of the Xuanmiao Nunnery, and now she wants to seize the position of the master of the Xuanmiao Nunnery, she is extremely evil, and she is innocent of death. You are so kind, you will be bullied in the future!"
Qingwan saw that Su Mengqiu wanted to speak for Liu Furong, and said angrily.
"Two junior sisters, don't argue. In fact, everything Liu Furong did was what I expected, including her suicide in front of the grave of Yan's predecessor today. ”
After Ling Yu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the lush trees in the mountains behind Xuanmiao Nunnery, and sighed.
"Is it expected? Then why did she choose to commit suicide? Isn't it because she found out in her conscience, or because she knew that she was not the opponent of the senior brother in charge?" asked Qingwan puzzled.
Hearing Qing Wan's inquiry, a complicated look crossed Ling Yu's eyes. I don't know if I'm answering Qingwan or lamenting Liu Furong's death.
I saw a wry smile appear on Ling Yu's face, and said softly: "In this world, there is no absolute good and evil, and naturally there are no absolute good and bad people. If you have to dig deeper, it may only be said that people die for money, and birds die for food. Because all good thoughts come from the heart, and all evil thoughts come from desire. Heaven and earth are unkind, ancient and modern. ”
