Chapter 174: Far from the Rainstorm
β¦β¦
Lu Yushen has known Chu Miao for a long time.
At that time, the first Yu Liantai preached, many young talents were invited, she happened to sit next to Chu Miao, and Chu Miao, who was still a girl, had a brief conversation, Chu Miao's green shirt was simple, and her face was always cold, but this coldness was more like hiding her inferiority complex and timidity.
She used the sword she carried with her to help her friend occupy an extra position, and that friend was now the owner of the Daomen Building.
It was many years after she saw her again, when she had been in the wilderness for sixty years, and finally slew the god of calamity that had destroyed her hometown, and when she returned, her red clothes were washed into white robes by the wind, frost, rain and snow, and she passed through Chudi and received an invitation unexpectedly. After leaving for too long, she thought that the king of Chu was still the fat man with a bloated body and an extremely fierce face, but when she went to the banquet in white, she saw a woman in a phoenix dress and a jade crown sitting on the throne solemnly, smiling at her and raising her wine glass.
That's when she realized that in the 60 years of being alone, a generation had grown up.
After that, they occasionally intersected, she had seen Chu Miao's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but she had never seen her like this in front of her.
The sky is as dark as night, and the white rain is turning.
Chu Miao's long hair was scattered, her godless eyes were red and swollen, her cheeks were also washed white, and her green clothes contained heavy water, like an iron coat.
She had been looking for Chu Yingchan for a whole month, and she had almost turned over the mountains between the east gate of the city wall and the Demon Demon Tower, but she still found nothing. She hadn't slept in an unknown amount of time.
In this month, she was not only remorseful but also remorseful, she remembered the words of the fortune teller at the beginning, and felt that the fortune creation had its own number of days, and should not be forcibly influenced, she was anxious to help her daughter promote her relationship, but instead pushed her into the unknown abyss.
Now a month has passed, and when she sees the Demon Evil Tower shrouded in darkness, she knows that her daughter is more than lucky.
A few hours ago, Shi Yirao handed out the last news with secret techniques, saying that the ancient demon was about to come out, and asked the others to withdraw quickly, so she and several cultivators drove people outside the Demon Evil Tower, and they could save one by one.
As for her...... She plans to enter the Demon Tower alone after driving the others away, she cannot forgive her sins, and only hopes that she can do more for the Terrans before death comes.
Lu Yushen saw through her thoughts, sighed, and walked in front of her, but in an almost cynical tone: "What's the trouble with this? Anyway, your daughter doesn't like you very much, just have another one, although it is difficult for an immortal to conceive, as long as the kung fu is deep......"
"Shut up!"
Chu Miao shouted like crazy, and the stirring true qi caused the black hair to fly and raindrops to splash.
Lu Yushen ignored her fierce attitude, slowly walked past her side, and continued: "How can anyone have a biological daughter who ran away from home with a pet at the age of ten and worships her as a teacher alone, it's not easy for you to see her all these years, right?" Don't want such a daughter. β
Chu Miao's shoulders trembled in the rain, she held her sword, lowered her head, her face was gloomy to the extreme, and after a while, the hoarse words sounded again:
"I have some old feelings with you, and I don't want to draw my sword to face each other, if you don't know what to do......"
The sword was half out of its sheath, and it was the snow crane, which emitted a sword roar that the storm could not suppress, but the sound was terrible.
"You are in the same realm as me, how can you win me in your current state?" Lu Yushen didn't think about it, and said with a provocative smile: "I just kindly persuaded you, and I didn't say anything wrong, maybe you will thank me in the future." β
"You ......"
Chu Miao gritted her teeth, although she knew that Lu Yushen had never accumulated virtue in her mouth, but she didn't understand why she had to repeatedly reveal her bloodiest scars at this time.
"A daughter can not kiss her mother, but how can a mother not kiss her daughter, let alone ......"
Chu Miao smiled lowly and choked up: "What's more, it's me who is sorry for her, I don't deserve such a good daughter." β
After the crying, the snow crane suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword light illuminated the approaching rain brightly.
"Draw your sword!" Chu Miao raised her head, her eyes were bloody, and she shouted at Lu Yushen.
Lu Yushen didn't draw her sword, she just smiled, she looked at the shadow of the white crane flying on this famous sword, and said, "Okay, don't cry, see who this is?" β
Chu Miao was slightly stunned, and Lu Yushen let go of his body.
She looked up.
The torrential rain connected the sky and the earth, and in a snow-white color, she saw the face that she had been thinking about day and night.
As if falling into a dream, Chu Miao felt unreal, she opened her mouth, her throat was hoarse, and she couldn't make any sound.
"Mother......
But it was Chu Yingchan who spoke first, she opened the curtain, I don't know how long she listened, and she was already in tears.
Without waiting for Chu Miao to make any moves, Chu Yingchan had jumped into the rain desperately, rushed to her side, and hugged the Tsing Yi soaked in the rain, she kept crying, crying silently.
The rain was getting heavier.
Lin Shouxi took out the bamboo umbrella and stepped out of the car.
In the middle is a mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, and he and Lu Yushen are standing at both ends.
When she was in the car before, Lu Yushen also mentioned her mother-in-law to Chu Yingchan, and it was almost a well-known thing that she had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, Lu Yushen asked her, would you be worried about your mother's worries about you if you disappeared for so long, Chu Yingchan even blamed her mother-in-law for her troubled arrangements.
She has always been gentle, but she only left her willful side to her mother, and Chu Miao never complained or annoyed.
Although looking for Xiaohe was eager, Lin Shouxi did not disturb their reunion, but walked quietly to their side and covered the top of their heads with a bamboo umbrella.
The rainstorm was kept out.
Chu Miao has been constantly apologizing, her apology made Chu Yingchan's heart twist like a knife, she kept shaking her head, and she also blamed herself for being ignorant, crying even more.
I don't know how long it took before Lu Yushen said, "It's not early, let's get in the car." β
β¦β¦
At the same time, the territory of the Demon Tower.
Shi Yirao took Xiao He and Mu Shijing to the top of a peak that had not yet been destroyed, and from here, you could see what was happening in the Demon Tower.
Another day passed, and on this day, Shi Yirao had been looking for a way to prevent the monster from breaking through the seal, she went deep into the hinterland of the Demon Tower, seven in and seven out, and all the people who stopped her died, but she still couldn't stop it from collapsing.
Mu Shijing and Xiao He also fought with her, and they watched as one powerful monster after another, blessed by the evil god, rose from the ground, and then was slashed by her golden sword.
Whether strong or weak, it is a sword.
She deserves to be the chief goddess of the Holy Land Temple, so powerful that Mu Shijing even can't imagine how the master was better than this god-like woman back then......
In the day they got along, Shi Yirao talked to them about the old thing, Shi Yirao didn't have any emotions, only said that at the time of the war, she had not yet completed the Great Sun Frozen Divine Technique.
The golden disc after the hair is the manifestation of her great sun ice sealing technique, this is her original magic technique, when the goddess performs this method, the figure is like bathing in the light of bright golden light, where the light passes, the gold pours the earth, but it is not the hope of all things to proclaim, but the silence of ice.
The sun is her ice and snow, enough to freeze everything.
Without the barrier here, she could even freeze the entire Demon Shatter Tower with the help of outside sunlight, but it was night, and the only light here was herself.
"Is there no way?" Mu Shijing asked.
When bathed in golden light with the hem of her skirt, dancing on the mountain peak, she quietly looked at the demon peak, her figure was like a boat carrying a sinking and floating boat in the sea of clouds in the morning sun, and after the girl next to her asked questions, she looked at the sword in her hand.
In this day, she killed countless demons, but she never pulled out this sword.
This is the sword of the Holy Soil Temple, it is the true divine sword, she has only seen its edge in the sword ordination ceremony of the previous generation of goddesses, although she has only seen it once, but she is sure that as long as she pulls out this sword and swings it with all her strength, she will have the power to cut through this heaven and earth.
But everything has a price, from the moment she was enshrined in the sword, her body and mind were connected to the sword, and every time she drew the sword, it would cause a great backlash to her.
The seven sin precepts of the Holy Soil Temple are humility, admiration, sorrow, harvest, pity, fasting and her indifference.
The emperor once said that each divine sword is sealed with a big demon, the goddess is the sword, which is equivalent to suppressing the demon with her body, if one day, all the goddess's thoughts are out of the pool, the demon sealed in the seven swords will be born, and they will be one, so that the twilight of the last days will come.
So even if she is as powerful as her, she is still cautious about drawing her sword.
"I have a way to cut through this world." Shi Yirao said: "But I can't do it. β
"Why?" Mu Shijing asked.
"Because I want to keep this sword for it." Shi Yirao looked at the constantly cracking giant peak and said, "If you die because of this, I'm sorry." β
Her tone was indescribably indifferent, and she couldn't hear the slightest apology, in this regard, Mu Shijing and Xiao He had long been accustomed to it, they were both very sensible girls, how could they blame the life-saving benefactor?
The chain is a good one, and the umbrella is a good one
"Then leave it to it, and the goddess sister will decide for herself." Xiao He said softly.
When Shi Yirao heard this, he looked at her.
Every time she looked at Xiao He, she would put away the cold golden light in her pupils and look at her with water-cutting eyes like white mountains and black water.
In Shi Yirao's eyes, the girl in front of her has a rare purity, which may also be related to her life experience, Xiao He has been fighting in the primeval jungle of the Demon Evil Tower since she was a child, and she is accompanied by the ice and snow of the stream all day long, like an elf who walks out of the beautiful scenery.
Xiao He was stared at like this, a little at a loss.
"How...... What's wrong? Xiao He asked.
"Later in the war, I may die." Said suddenly.
Xiao He was surprised, she knew that this goddess sister was telling the truth, but she didn't want to accept it.
"Sister Goddess is so powerful, if you want to leave, even the demon king in the underground can't stop you, right?" Xiao He said.
"Well, but it's waking up now, when it's at its weakest."
Shi Yirao showed a rare show of patience, and she explained: "If you can't kill it now, when it swallows you up and recovers the realm, the tragedy of the King of Cangbi breaking the city three hundred years ago is likely to be repeated...... Later, I'll try to swap lives with it. β
She said the most decisive words in the most bland tone, Xiao He was shocked when she heard this, "How can this be, my sister is so powerful, if she dies......"
"If I can change my life, it will be a great blessing."
Shi Yirao interrupted her words, and said lightly: "Besides, this kind of power is not rare, the three mountains of Yunkong, Shenshou, and Ancestor, each mountain peak has a leader and a master, their realm is by no means inferior to me, if they are present, they must also make the same choice as me." β
Shi Yirao's words are true, if it weren't for the clear heart of the Tao and the determination to die for the Dao, her realm would not have been able to come to this point.
Xiao He stood dumbfounded, she knew that every next sentence might be the last words of this goddess sister.
Although they have only met for one day and night, she has a good impression of this goddess sister who has a cold face all day long, but she doesn't know that when this goddess blocked and killed the gods and Buddhas all the way, she had already made up her mind to die.
"By the way, even if I kill it by luck, you must not take it lightly, because it is not the only one who wants to devour you." Shi Yirao said.
"What?" Xiao He couldn't keep up with her train of thought.
"Do you know why there are so many youkai chasing you along the way?" Shi Yirao asked.
"Isn't this because the Demon King wants to kill me?" Xiao He asked.
"No, it's the aura from you that attracts them." Shi Yirao said.
"Breath?" Xiao He sniffed himself, but didn't smell anything.
"Not a specific smell, but an invisible 'wave' emitted by the divine blood in your body." Shi Yirao said the secret story: "Your divine blood is calling on monsters to attack you." β
"What?"
Xiao He was completely shocked, she didn't expect that the real traitor was the blood in her body, no wonder she couldn't get rid of the pursuit along the way, and she was barely safe until she was in the dungeon.
"Divine Blood...... How could it be ......"
Mu Shijing was also surprised, but the bystanders were clear, and she quickly understood: "The divine blood is forcing her to break the seal, and it also wants to devour Xiao He!" β
"Hmm."
Shi Yirao nodded, agreeing with her conjecture, "You don't want to be eaten by the Demon King, and the blood in your body doesn't want to either, it wants to be free and escape before the Demon King wakes up." β
"Yes...... But isn't this its blood in the first place? Xiao He asked.
"The limbs of the gods will have an independent consciousness after leaving the body, and once the consciousness is generated, they will be like people, and they will not want to be bound anymore, if it returns to the body of the old master, the consciousness born of the blood of the god will be directly crushed by the more powerful consciousness of the old master." Shi Yirao said indifferently: "For it, the road back to its hometown is also its road to the Yellow Springs." β
Xiao He nodded in a daze, her body, which was already slightly cooled by the wind, felt even colder, she never thought that the divine blood in her body also had thoughts.
"Sure enough, those who covet Xiao He are all big villains." Mu Shijing said dejectedly.
"Before I go to kill the gods, I will give you a wisp of Dao knowledge to help you suppress the blood in your body, but whether you can truly defeat it depends on yourself." Shi Yirao said.
"Sister Goddess...... Why is it so good to me. Xiao He was flattered.
Although Shi Yirao's expression has remained unchanged for thousands of years like a snow-capped mountain, Xiao He can still keenly feel that she has extra care for herself.
"There is no such thing as a good thing for no reason." Shi Yirao said: "If I am dead and you live, you must take this sword of the Divine Sword of the Ring of Sin." β
Xiao He immediately understood that she was choosing an heir......
"I ......"
Of course, Xiao He can't live up to her kindness, but she is only in the Yuan Chi Realm now, how dare she take on such a heavy responsibility?
"What's the matter, is it a shame to carry my sword?" Shi Yirao asked.
"Of course not, you are a true cultivator." Xiao He said respectfully.
Shi Yirao ignored her praise and continued to look at her.
Xiao He didn't think much about it, and said firmly: "I promise." β
"True ascetic...... It's the best compliment I've ever heard. Shi Yirao accepted her praise at this time.
β¦β¦
In the rainstorm, the scaly beast was still pulling the cart and hurrying away.
In the carriage, the beautiful mother and daughter finally stabilized their emotions.
Chu Miao always grabbed her daughter's hand, unwilling to let go, and even Lu Yushen helped her wipe her tears, after Chu Miao finished crying, she finally began to ask about what happened recently, Chu Yingchan and Lin Shouxi made eye contact with each other, and only said that they had met a powerful female monster, and the specific things would be said after they settled down.
Chu Yingchan is a qualified friend, and she did not forget to mention the matter of adding money to the drama girl.
"Drama Girl...... It turns out that my daughter knows everything? Chu Miao was very ashamed.
"Well......" Chu Yingchan was also a little embarrassed, but said: "My mother is well-intentioned after all, so you don't have to be sad about it." β
Chu Miao shook her head and said, "It's me who is too anxious...... My mother has already heard that this Lin Gongzi's fiancΓ©e is Miss Xiaohe, and the misunderstanding between me and you is just a misunderstanding, and my mother listened to the slander, so she ......"
Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan glanced at each other, their expressions complicated.
This scene was accurately captured by Lu Yushen, and it was obvious that this fairy, who had lived for more than three hundred years, had already guessed something, and said with a light smile: "Well, this may have been a rumor a month ago, but now ......"
"Now the rumors should be self-defeating!" Chu Yingchan answered immediately, she didn't want to admit that she liked her own apprentice.
"Well, I should have trusted my daughter a long time ago." Chu Miao said softly.
Chu Yingchan, who was in a red dress and white robe, sat dignified and self-controlled, Chu Miao gently leaned on her arms, pear blossoms brought rain, Chu Yingchan rubbed her mother's hair, helped her dry her dress with true qi, and constantly comforted her, from the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that she was her mother, and Chu Miao was the poor daughter.
"I said it a long time ago, Empress Chu should thank me." Lu Yushen was always smiling.
Chu Miao understood what she meant, it was her previous words that gave her the opportunity to break the iceberg between their mother and daughter, before that, she had never been so attached to her daughter like this.
"I ......"
Chu Miao thought about the scene of drawing the sword before, and felt even more ashamed, and said softly: "Next time, next time I go back to the mountain, I will thank you again." β
Lu Yushen smiled and nodded.
Chu Miao leaned in her daughter's arms for a long time, her expression was calm, she only felt that the blue was better than the blue, she thought about the fortune teller's prophecy, and thought that her daughter had survived this catastrophe, and there should be no need to worry about the road in the future.
Outside, torrential rain and strong winds continued to howl.
Suddenly, Chu Miao suddenly reacted to something and asked, "Where are we going?" β
"Go to the Demon Tower." Lu Yushen still had a nonchalant tone, as if she was not going to slay demons and eliminate demons, but to travel by car.
"Demon Tower?" Chu Miao was shocked, she had just reunited with her daughter, but she didn't want to be separated, "You must not go there!" You know how dangerous it is! β
"We cultivators were born in the world, didn't we go to dangerous places, Queen Chu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, have you forgotten?" Lu Yushen asked.
Chu Miao was speechless, she hadn't forgotten what a cultivator should do, she was just a daughter......
"I have very good friends there and I have to go too." Chu Yingchan said.
"Is that Miss Xiaohe?" Chu Miao asked.
"Hmm."
"I like that little girl too......"
"Mother......
"Where the daughter goes, the mother will also go." Chu Miaowan smiled and didn't stop it.
Chu Yingchan was stunned, and suddenly heard Lin Shouxi, who had been silent for a long time in the corner, said: "Me too." β
In the rain, the carriage galloped away, and the Demon Evil Tower was close in sight.
