Chapter 340: Stepping on Sumeru (26)
Coming home is a common word, a phrase that people often say, representing warmth and safety after exhaustion
At some point, however, it doesn't feel warm or safe, but rather lonely and cold.
Like now.
......
The woman's name is Ziyi, and she is a blood relative of the previous generation of Huozun, and her relationship with Thirteen Lang is that of master and apprentice, and the main refiner.
Master and apprentice are a very close relationship, and adding a life-saving benefactor on this basis will naturally be more weighty.
At the beginning of Luoling City, Thirteen Lang spent the most peaceful time in his life, and Ziyi spent the most unstable time in his life, the two did not expose each other's other identities for one reason or another, and got along with each other in the drama of a young man and a strange person, and they knew each other, or wanted to declare but couldn't.
The world is changeable, Shisanlang went around in a circle in Shijie, came to Ziyun actively or passively, and set foot on Mount Meru; Ziyi's ability to grasp life is much stronger than him, but he is also trapped in Sumeru because of active or passive.
Different lives have different threads, and eventually they cross into a point, like waiting.
What are you waiting for?
"Home?"
Ziyi's voice sounded in his head, with some confusion about himself and pity for Thirteen Lang, and said, "Get up and tell me about you, what you have been through in the past few years." ”
Thirteen Lang hesitated and said, "There are a lot of bits and pieces, can the teacher listen to them conveniently?"
Zi Yi understood what he meant, and responded: "It's okay, you destroyed the statue of the Mountain Monarch, and the power of suppression has weakened a lot. ”
Jusan Lang understood part of it and didn't continue to ask.
He sat down on the ground, carefully avoiding the blade-like claws, turned his side to the teacher's face, and began to speak.
Starting from that night's farewell, Thirteen Lang talked about Zhao Si, meeting Ding Dong, killing Zongming, and entering the Demon Domain; he talked about Mujiazhai and Xiao Ziyi. I also talked about autumn hunting.
He told about that beautiful dream, about his life experience, and about the blood feud between his parents. Zuihou talked about the temple and talked about the moment he heard the teacher's call.
He spoke for a long time, and the tone of the story was calm, even bland, and he was like a faithful, reliable, and cold machine. Replicate the past in its entirety without adding any embellishments.
Zi Yi listened quietly, and occasionally asked a word or two before, but since she talked about the experience of the Demon Domain, she never interjected.
Sunrise and moonset. The moon stars are scarce, and unconsciously, Thirteen Lang actually talked about it for a day.
......
......
"The teacher knows the rest of the story. ”
Thirteen Lang licked his dry lips and said, "At the beginning, the disciple didn't know your name and caused a lot of trouble, did the teacher get angry?"
Such an occasion. Such a tone mentions such a trivial thing with a deliberate flavor. After that, Thirteen Lang couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being hypocritical and pretentious, and he was so immature.
Zi Yi said slightly: "What's the use of being angry, because I want to cover up for the Thirteenth Master, I will drive all the deacons of the Taoist Academy out of Luoling, and the trouble is not a little." ”
Listened to this. Thirteen Lang became more and more panicked.
Ever since he learned Ziyi's true identity from Huozun's mouth, he thought of a question. The teacher undoubtedly knew what she had done, so what happened to her. Does it have anything to do with yourself?
After really embarking on the path of cultivation, Shisanlang found more and more that the unfathomable depths of the powerful cultivators were naturally not as frivolous as before. At this time, he couldn't help but think, if someone carefully examined those things at the beginning, wouldn't they point the finger at the teacher?
Think further, is the teacher's situation today because he is implicated by himself?
Thinking like this in his heart, Thirteen Lang's palms were slightly wet, and his sideburns gradually oozed sweat.
"Don't think about it, I told you when I fell into the spirit, God's will makes people, even if you plan hard, it may not be as you wish. At that time, I was already a failure, and I can't blame you. ”...,
Zi Yi saw what he was thinking, and said after being relieved: "I didn't expect you to be so young and be able to remember me." ”
Shisanlang said: "At that time, my memory was the most haode. ”
A simple sentence contains many unforgettable memories, Zi Yi silently thought about what he said, and unconsciously said: "You are more difficult than the teacher, and you are better than me." ”
A teacher and a me, reflecting the perspective of the same, the lonely child who may die at any time grows up, and the powerful who has the ability to surprise the storm but is willing to hide is in prison, unconsciously, the two are already at the same height, and they are no longer seniors and young sons.
Shisanro didn't think so, and said in a respectful voice, "The teacher taught well. ”
It has been proven that if you say it with your heart, even if the content is slightly distorted, you can still move people. Zi Yi listened to his compliments, did not refute them, but could only sigh.
In the following period, the two chatted about some trivial things back then, such as how Shisanro sought to learn from a teacher, how embarrassed he was when cleaning the courtyard, and how excited he was to be summoned. And then there are things like how Zi Yi found out that he was "fake" Zi Yi, what omissions did the Thirteenth Master did, and how Zi Yi covered it up for him, etc., and the time passed for most of the day.
Parents are short, people are wrong, Ziyi and Thirteen Lang have talked for a long time, but there is still not much content about themselves. She is more like a loving mother, or an eldest sister or something like that, just by starting a conversation, Shisanro will talk like a child, until she has a dry mouth and can't think of superfluous words, and then she will give up.
Talking about the rise, Shisanlang released the Tianxin toad, and when it came to the battle of the canyon, he praised the chubby bravery, and mocked his ignorance and fearlessness.
"The Tianxin toad was raised well by you, I promised to give it a creation, but now it seems that I underestimated it and your ability. ”
Ziyi said in a smiling voice: "It's a shame for you to raise others." ”
Thirteen Lang said happily: "It's lucky, it's about to run out of food, and it's fishing in the land of water spirits." ”
"Yes, when I came, I also passed through the land of water spirits, and the king of salamanders escaped and fell into your hands. ”
No matter how long the old one is, there is a time when the narrative is finished, and after talking for most of the day, the topic finally leads to Mount Meru, Ziyi said lightly: "Think about it, if you have anything to ask, you can ask it now." ”
Only then did Shisanlang salute respectfully again and said, "The disciple wants to ask, how can I take the teacher away." ”
Ziyi smiled and said, "Shouldn't you ask me how I got here?"
"I'll talk about those things when I get home. Thirteen Lang replied seriously.
......
......
"Ever since my grandfather lost his way. I don't have a home, and even if I had, I wouldn't be able to go back now. ”
Again, there is a reference to "going home". Ziyi didn't mean to evade, and said quietly: "When I left Luoling City, I came directly to Ziyun and coaxed Xiaohong for many days. Eventually, the dean told me that if I wanted to get Liliang in the shortest possible time, I had to start with Sumeru. ”
With a sigh, she said, "And then it became like this." ”
Jusan Lang raised his head, his gaze glancing over the huge claw. said: "The old guy is not reliable at all, and the teacher is too gullible to believe his words." ”
"How can you be so rude. ”
Zi Yi reprimanded, and then thought of what he said before, he was as ignorant of the situation as a blind man, and couldn't help but laugh a little.
"In retrospect, the dean may have been right not to tell you about the situation. Otherwise, you wouldn't have broken those statues. What exactly will the consequences become. I'm afraid it's hard to tell. ”
"What's the use of the statue? I don't really believe what Yelian said. ”
"In addition to suppression, the most important role of the statue is to teleport, and it can also be reversed, which is used as a contingency. Yelian only talked about part of it, and the intention is, of course, to lure you into the hub. Perform a lore when destroying the statue of the Mountain King. ”...,
Zi Yi said with emotion: "This woman is extremely talented, and she seems to be arrogant, but she is actually very good at forbearance. He will be your great enemy. ”
Shisanro said, "The teacher went out and cleaned her up, so I don't have to worry about anything." ”
"Poor mouth. Ziyi couldn't help but laugh. Didn't answer his words.
Thirteen Lang's heart sank slightly, and he was more and more sure that it would be more difficult to get her out than he imagined, and he felt a little silent.
Zi Yi waited for a while and didn't see him speak, half explanatory and half tested, and asked, "Why don't you ask where the statue leads?"
"Except for the one of the mountain kings, most of the others lead to the inner courtyard. Thirteen Lang only thought about it for a moment and replied categorically.
Curious and shocked, Zi Yi asked, "How do you know?"
"It's not hard to guess, since the teacher said that its function is to teleport and descend, there are nothing more than three possibilities. ”
"Which three?"
"The land of soul melting, Purple Cloud City, and then there is the place to monitor the changes in Sumeru, to be precise, to monitor the movements of the Golden Crow. ”
"What do you mean, Jinwu...... Biluo?"
"Uh...... Yes, I have heard a legend that the three-legged sacred bird, shaped like a rooster, is called the Golden Crow. ”
"I've never heard of that, maybe that's what it's called...... You know a lot. ”
With a faint compliment, Ziyi said, "Go on." ”
Thirteen Lang secretly exclaimed luck, and then said: "There is a return jade plate back to Ziyun, this one is excluded first, and I now know that in addition to this altar, there is only a second passage excavated by Yelian's teacher. So the rest of the monitoring Jinwu, just imagine, apart from the inner courtyard, which place is more suitable. ”
"In addition, when I destroyed the statue, I noticed that there was nothing abnormal in the first two floors, and from the third layer onwards, there were some faint spiritual power fluctuations in the statue. After careful observation, I found that that the fluctuation was not a teleportation formation that required the installation of spirit stones, but more like a monk's mana. At that time, I was thinking that this should be the students who were unable to continue after they got there, so they simply entered the mana with the attitude of trying it out, and then they were sent away. ”
"The cute girl told me that the inner courtyard is like a cage for raising eagles, and at that time I was thinking about what the prey in the inner courtyard was, and now that I think about it, its role is not to capture the prey, but to monitor. The Golden Crow is too powerful, it must be monitored, and it must be passed down from generation to generation, and it cannot be relaxed at any time. Reminiscent of Yelian's saying that the students of the inner courtyard will try to melt their souls with the golden crow, and the people of the inner courtyard are rarely revealed to the outside world, and it is speculated that everything is naturally clear. ”
Zi Yi was speechless when she heard it, and only said in a half-loud voice: "So you haven't used spells to destroy?"
Jusan Lang replied, "It's only half, I mainly want to see Yelian's reaction." At that time, I couldn't tell if there were many places in the Land of Soul Melting, and Yelian must have known about it, and if she lured me into using other methods, she would reveal some thoughts anyway. And my purpose at that time was to prevent her from succeeding in soul melting, so I ......"
Zi Yileng paused for a moment and asked, "At that time, what about later?"
Shisanro said: "Later, I heard the teacher's voice, and I wished she had left sooner. However, although the purpose is different, the means are the same, and the statues are destroyed anyway. ”
"Yelian has advanced, so she is no longer qualified to stay in the outer court, either she will enter the inner court now and wait for the next opportunity, or go to zuihou with me, and if she does that, I really can't think of where she can succeed in soul melting. So, she had to go. ”
Explaining his plans along the way, Thirteen Lang looked a little stupid and said in a contemptuous tone.
"I didn't expect her to invite God to come up, which made me suffer a big loss. ”
