Chapter 384: The Great Spirit Tree
Compared with Xiaoyu, Chu Lu is a relatively normal little girl, and she is as well-behaved as she is on the outside.
After learning that she had a high talent for cultivation, she completely immersed herself in the world of cultivation and practiced with hunger and thirst every day.
She is beautiful and very good at pleasing Master.
The only thing Chu Lu didn't know was that it wasn't the same master who taught her every day.
During the day, Lin Shouxi will take the time to teach this little girl to practice, and at night, Xiao He will use colorful phantom feathers to transform into Lin Shouxi's appearance and teach Chu Lu to practice.
Therefore, in Chu Lu's cognition, the master is very gentle during the day, but at night, he will become cold and fierce, and there is a sense of scary that no one should approach.
For example, during the day, Lin Shouxi combed Chu Lu's hair, and at night, the more Xiao He looked at it, the more he felt that this dress was like Xiao Yu, so he combed her again, and ordered Chu Lu not to keep hair in front of his forehead.
For example, tonight, the first heron spell Xiaocheng happily opened her arms and jumped towards the master, but she was ruthlessly pushed away.
Chu Lu stood in place at a loss, looking at the master aggrievedly.
"Is Master afraid that Master will misunderstand?" Hatsuru asked.
Xiao He, disguised as Lin Shouxi, nodded.
"However, when the master was chatting, he clearly told me that the master is a very tolerant and generous person." Hatsu whispered.
"Oh? Really? ”
Xiao He, who was sitting cross-legged, was happy.
"Don't you remember what Master said himself?" Chu Lu always felt that the master at night was weird.
Xiao He nodded slightly, but suddenly remembered something, squinted at the bright-eyed girl, and asked, "Your teacher...... Which teacher am I talking about? ”
"Master Chu Chu." Chu Lu said.
"......" Xiao He didn't say a word.
Chu Lu didn't know what she said wrong, but after she finished speaking, she obviously felt that the night was colder. Instinctively, she took a few steps back and moved away from her master.
After a while, Xiao He took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Have I usually mentioned other masters?" ”
"This ...... Master asked me what to do? Chu Lu whispered.
"I'll test your memory." Xiao He said quietly.
"Oh, I also mentioned Senior Sister Xiaoyu...... Mother, the master said, Xiaoyu Senior Sister is not only very beautiful and cute, but also the most powerful teacher, and her martial arts cultivation is the best in the world. Chu Lu said with a clear eye, revealing a look of yearning.
"You envy her?" Xiao He continued to ask.
Chu Lu felt a murderous aura, although she didn't know where this murderous aura came from, her survival instinct had made her wave her hand: "Nothing, nothing." ”
"Hmm." Xiao He nodded coldly and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"There is also Mu Shiniang, the master said, that is not only the master's old enemy, but also the master's childhood sweetheart, hard mouth and soft heart, weak on the outside and strong in the middle, and cute." Chu Lu said.
Xiao He looked at Chu Lu's appearance like a treasure, and thought to himself that Lin Shouxi had a lot of idle talk with her on weekdays......
Her expression became even more gloomy and asked, "Is it gone?" ”
"Hmm......"
Chu Lu bit his fingers, revealing a look of hesitation, as if he was embarrassed by something.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiao He Road.
"Master also often mentions a teacher, a master surnamed Wu." Hatsu whispered.
"And then?"
"Hmm...... Master, have you forgotten, you won't let me mention the wizard to anyone else? Chu Lu reminded.
"Oh? Why don't you mention it? Xiao He's sleeves were clenched a little bit.
"Because the master said that the wizard mother is too good, the master wants to hide the wizard mother's best in the world, and leave him alone to secretly reminisce, even if it is the first heron as an apprentice, he can't know." When Chu Lu said this, she couldn't help but show a look of doubt, she bit her fingers lightly, and said with anticipation: "I really want to meet the wizard mother." ”
“……”
Xiao He didn't ask any more questions, and nodded with satisfaction.
Daytime.
When Chu Lu saw his master again, he hurriedly attached it to his ear and said, "Chu Lu has all said according to what Master taught, Master can teach me the most advanced armor sword art you have studied now, right?" ”
"That's good." Lin Shouxi nodded with satisfaction.
Before the teaching began, Chu Lu couldn't help but ask, "Why does Master become very strange at night, often forgetting what he said, and asking Chu Lu to remind him." ”
Many times, Chu Lu even felt that the master during the day and at night was not alone at all.
"Oh, Master has a strange illness called nocturnia, and it is easy to forget things at night." Lin Shouxi fooled around.
"Night amnesia......
Chu Lu repeated in a low voice, shaking her head slightly, but she had never heard of this disease, she said seriously: "Master doesn't remember, I'll help Master remember." ”
"Okay."
Lin Shouxi smiled.
He taught the key to the heart of the Armor Sword Imperial Technique to Chu Lu.
This is the swordsmanship he learned in the Wu family back then, a total of three styles, but extremely practical, under years of cultivation and sharpening, this move has already been cultivated by Lin Shouxi to the realm, and has become his signature martial arts.
Only by surviving can she be qualified to kill, and after the danger of that day, Chu Lu also has a good impression of this kind of defensive martial arts that she didn't like very much in the past.
In the evening, Chu Lu was practicing the sword art again.
"You're pretty good at turtle defense." The master in the evening also gave a positive evaluation.
Chu Lu nodded obediently, thinking that Master's night amnesia is really serious, and he can't even remember the name of the move, what if he forgets all the masters and girls one day...... It's strange to say, the masters in Master's mouth are all peerless beauties, but she has lived in the real country for more than ten years, and she has never heard of these people......
Could it be that Master is not only suffering from night amnesia, but also from delusions? The master has actually passed away a long time ago, and the master has never forgotten them, and has always let them live in his own mind?
Thinking of this, Chu Lu's eyes when he looked at his master couldn't help but add a lot of sympathy.
Xiao He only felt inexplicable in the face of such a look.
The time of the day is very tight.
During the day, she had to go to the Great Burning Sect to worship the fire, listen to lectures, chant scriptures, and find time to learn martial arts with Lin Shouxi, and she could not relax at night, and she had to accept the master's strict training.
After Xiao He taught her, she always fell asleep.
But tonight, Xiao He chatted with her on a whim.
"I see that you speak and behave well, you should have been the child of a big family in the past, how could you fall into this broken sect?" Xiao He asked.
"The Great Burning Sect is not a broken sect, it can be ranked twelfth among the thirteen spiritual art sects." Chu Lu argued slightly, after all, she had tried her best to get in.
Xiao He didn't speak, and looked at her quietly.
Under the strong sense of oppression, Chu Lu involuntarily lowered her head, and she hesitated for a long time before she said, "When I win the first place in the Thirteen Spirit Sects, I will tell Master, and when the time comes, I will put one of mine, huh...... My dear, I introduced her to Master. ”
Another ...... with a secret
Xiao He didn't ask.
"Winning the first place in the Thirteen Spirit Sects? Do you believe in yourself so much? Xiao He asked.
"I don't believe in myself, but I believe in Master." Chu Lu said seriously.
Xiao He bent his eyes and smiled.
She chatted with Chu Lu for a few more words, and as she chatted, Chu Lu's eyelids closed dizzily, leaned over, and leaned on Xiao He's body.
Xiao He wanted to push her away, but she looked at Chu Lu's porcelain white cheeks and unconcealable exhaustion, and couldn't help but think of herself when she was the same age, her heart softened, and she gently stroked Chu Lu's soft hair with her hand.
During these days, Xiao He and Lin Shouxi also worked day and night in order to untie the entanglement of the golden body, and they were physically and mentally exhausted.
The true kingdom respects the spiritual root, which not only has incredible power, but also a shortcut to cultivation.
The true kingdom does not need to follow the path of cultivation that is easy to take for hundreds of years as immortals, people and gods, they only need to cultivate the spiritual root to the extreme, and they can have the same or even more powerful power, and the time spent on cultivating the spiritual root is far less than the penance of the sacred mountain.
It was difficult for Xiao He to understand this, because in the Divine Mountain, the spiritual root was only a heaven-sent power, and it could not be cultivated at all.
Is there anything special about the spiritual root of the true kingdom......
Speaking of spiritual roots, Xiao He thought of the thing they had that naturally restrained spiritual roots-the golden bowl.
But the strange thing is that after arriving in the real country, this treasure that has been pressed in the storage ring has disappeared, and it is impossible to find it.
Xiao He thought back to all the things that had happened in these days.
Suddenly, Lin Shouxi didn't know when he appeared by her side and gently held her hand.
Xiao He looked sideways.
Four eyes touched.
The world has become quiet, all the tactile sense is clear, and in the interweaving of silence and complexity, people's perception of time has also slowed down.
The colorful phantom feather was lifted, and Xiao He changed back to the pure appearance of snow hair.
"What are you thinking?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"It's just a chore." Xiao He replied.
Lin Shouxi's bracelet wrapped around her shoulders and hugged her tightly, and then, her hand moved slowly, the girl's body tensed a little, and then, she covered her lips with her fingers, trying her best to restrain herself, but she still leaked a few ecstatic moans.
"Don't ......"
Xiao He suddenly pressed Lin Shouxi's hand that touched the edge of her skirt.
"What's wrong?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Since that day when Xiao He said that this kind of thing had no contempt for cultivation, so it was meaningless, during this time, she had rejected true love several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
"I don't think there's much joy about that kind of thing." Xiao He avoided Lin Shouxi's gaze and said faintly.
"Really?"
"Of course, Miss Ben doesn't have that vulgar desire." Xiao He bit his thin lip.
In the past, Lin Shouxi may have retorted a few sentences, but tonight, Lin Shouxi just hugged her quietly.
After a long time, the warm breath gradually cooled down, and the cold wind leaked in through the crack in the window, and when it blew up the neck, it seemed like a snow beetle crawling.
Lin Shouxi finally spoke in the girl's ear and asked, "Xiao He, did you see anything in your spiritual root?" ”
……
The tsunami caused by the summoning ceremony has long since receded.
The Giant King traveled north, and when he reached the former site of the Giant Court, he stopped, and as if he had exhausted his strength, he fell into a deep sleep again in the court.
The ceremony of summoning the king brought a lot of disasters, and the leaders who organized the ceremony of summoning the king were arrested one after another and tried by the major sects.
If Shu Yuan hadn't escaped into the Primordial Sect, she would have been caught and her crimes settled.
These days, the suffocation has completely stopped.
She began to focus on her cultivation and strive to return her realm to the top.
Now Mu Shijing has no shortage of fans and praise in Zhenguo, so her flattering diary has stopped writing and is no longer written.
The real country is not a sacred mountain, and there is no rule that infighting is not allowed, on the contrary, there is so much infighting here that it is outrageous.
In order to allow the stronger ones to come to the fore, the major elders are also keen to hold various competitions and select outstanding disciples for training.
During this time, Shu Yuan participated in dozens of competitions without defeat.
Her talent has attracted a lot of attention.
Also eye-catching is her figure.
The mask covers the face, but it can't hide the curves of the body, and although one of the tenets of the original face religion is to abandon the description of appearance, most of the people who really join this religion are not too highly conscious. Many of them, like the Princess, fled to the religion in order to conceal their crimes.
During this period of time, some of the disciples that Shu Yu came into contact with were probably like this.
Some are born ugly, some have crooked noses and cleft lips, some have pockmarked faces, and some have sores on their cheeks...... They don't believe in the original face, they just see it as an escape.
There was even a disciple who used to be a prostitute who took Shu Yuan's hand and said earnestly: "The people in the sect wear masks anyway, and they look the same in any way, but those old guys in the sect pay special attention to their figures, like you, you can definitely sell them for a very high price, if you are short of money, you can always find me, and I will help you introduce them." ”
Shu sneered.
Because she won more than ten games in a row, many famous elders handed her olive branches, hoping to take her into her door, but she refused all.
After the temple sun priest happened to see her in a martial arts, he also had the idea of accepting disciples and wanted to accept her as a true inheritance.
When everyone was envious of Shu Yuan's chance, Shu Yuan chose to refuse again.
This incident was shocking, and even caused a stir for a time, and reached Mu Shijing's ears.
"As an apprentice of the Sun Sacrifice, you will have countless money and heavenly treasures, which are all necessary for you now, aren't you tempted?" Mu Shijing asked her while looking at the paper in his hand.
"She is only loyal to Miss, and all temptations are just tests on this path of loyalty." Shu said with a smile.
"That's good."
Mu Shijing smiled.
She continued to look at the paper in her hand.
"What is Miss looking at?" Shu Yuan asked cautiously.
Mu Shijing beckoned and motioned for her to come over and take a look.
Shu Yu came to her side.
After taking a closer look, Shu Yu realized that what Mu Shijing was looking at turned out to be the ranking of the world's spiritual roots.
"The ranking of these spiritual roots is not set in stone, even if it is a mediocre sword spiritual root, it has been in the first place for a long time because of the strength of the sword master. It doesn't have much reference significance. Shu Yu reminded.
"It's just fun to watch."
Mu Shijing flipped through this ranking and asked, "Why is there no legend of the spiritual root?" ”
"Legendary spiritual roots are extremely powerful, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and similarly, many legendary spiritual roots have not been published at all, and the world knows very little about them, so there is no way to record them...... Legend has it that the Dragon Lord Hall has a complete record. Shu Yuan's words paused: "But it's just a legend." ”
"What is your spiritual root?" Mu Shijing asked.
"Bridging." Shu Yu did not hide it.
"Then in this world, is there the so-called strongest spiritual root?" Mu Shijing asked again.
“……”
Shu Yuan didn't speak for a long time, but in the end, the silver teeth bit lightly and said, "Yes! ”
This answer was beyond Mu Shijing's expectations, she frowned and asked, "What?" ”
"It is said that there is a spiritual root in the true kingdom, an ultimate spiritual root that is above all spiritual roots, and its ability is to 'make all beautiful dreams come true'." After Shu Yuan's introduction, she added another sentence, saying: "This kind of saying has existed since ancient times, no one has ever seen this kind of spiritual root, and no one knows whether it is true or false. ”
"Ultimate Spiritual Root ......"
Mu Shijing closed his eyes and meditated.
After a long time, she asked, "All the spiritual roots of the True Kingdom are given by the Great Spirit Tree, what is the origin of this Great Spirit Tree?" ”
"Doesn't Miss know that either?" Shu asked.
Mu Shijing shook his head slightly.
In the ancient memories she awakened, she had not searched for information related to the Great Spirit Tree, as if this divine tree, which had a profound impact on the True Kingdom, appeared out of thin air.
"I ......" Shu Yuan's red lips shook slightly, and she wanted to stop talking.
"What's wrong?" Mu Shijing asked.
"Nothing." Shu Yu didn't open her mouth after all.
It was the one thing she had hidden the most, and it had to do with her biggest secret......
When she was young, as the daughter of the dragon lord, she once went to the Holy Tree Courtyard with her brothers and sisters to worship the Great Spirit Tree, praying for the Great Spirit Tree to give it divine power.
At that time, she was only five years old.
She huddled between her brothers and sisters, standing on tiptoe and looking up at Shenki.
Although the Great Spirit Tree cannot be compared with the wood of the world, it is also the only towering divine tree in the real country, it is as beautiful as a dream, there is a body like a blue and purple glass flame, with jade-like clear leaves, these leaves are surprisingly soft, a little breeze passes, they will roll up like clouds, like a colorful dream.
That day, the Great Spirit Tree spoke to her.
The quiet and cold whisper, like the wind blowing from hell, after ten years, Shu Yu still remembers it vividly.
It said, "Help me." ”
……
"This is the Great Snow King's Palace, it is the dormitory of His Royal Highness Shu Yuan, although His Royal Highness Shu Yuan has not come back yet, but the Dragon Palace is important, and it is not something that any evil demon can trespass! You'll be punished by the Dragon Lord's Palace! Hey, did you hear that? ”
The righteous Shi official media fairy fluttered his wings and flew around a black-robed man, shouting reprimands.
The feathered people under the Great Snow King's Palace also drew their swords one after another and confronted this person who trespassed into the Great Snow King's Palace.
The black-robed man ignored it and walked towards the mountain on his own.
"Wicked invaders are to be expelled by the law!"
"Your Highness will not let you go!"
"You thief, despicable bandit!"
“……”
While scolding, the matchmaker recorded in his notebook: The matchmaker is guarding the Snow Palace, not afraid of the enemy, scolding sharply, and punishing the heart, and the trespasser covers his face with a black robe, and has no place to embarrass himself.
Arrive at the Snow King's Palace.
"Enough scolding."
The man in the black robe spoke lazily, and it was a woman's voice.
She stretched out her hands, drank the word 'open', and easily opened the door of the Snow King's Palace, which was imprisoned by iron ropes.
"Keylingroot?" The matchmaker has seen a wide range of knowledge, and immediately gave a judgment.
The most terrifying thing is that the black-robed man pushed the door with both hands, and at the same time took off the black robe he was covering with both hands.
Four Hands...... She's got four hands!
The black robe fell to the ground in an uproar.
The cold and glamorous woman with long silver and white hair showed her face, the blood-red long skirt wrapped her bumpy carcass, and her body swayed with an indescribable seductive beauty between the jade legs.
"You...... You are ......"
The matchmaker was shocked.
"Hey, I haven't been back for too many years, don't the juniors of the real country remember me?"
The silver-haired woman in the red dress clasped her hands in front of her chest, tilted her head, and showed a slightly lonely smile.
"Are you...... Soul Spring-sama? The matchmaker suddenly remembered some rumors, accurately guessed the identity of the other party, and asked in a trembling voice, "Lord Soul Spring is back?" ”
"Well, when the business over there is done, I will naturally come back." Soul Spring replied leisurely and said, "There are too many people living in the Dragon Lord Palace, I think they are noisy...... I heard that the palace master of the Great Snow King's Palace had an accident and the palace was empty, so I stopped by, and after that, I should stay here for a while. ”
The attitude of the matchmaker immediately changed: "Welcome the righteous Lord Soul Spring back to the palace, the matchmaker, as the most loyal servant of Lord Soul Spring, is willing to serve the Lord for the dogs and horses." ”
"Not necessarily." Soul Spring said lightly: "You are not worthy." ”
The matchmaker was not angry, but only reverently followed behind this legendary figure of the true kingdom.
For the Soul Spring, even the people of the True Kingdom know very little, but the matchmaker only needs to know that this woman in the red dress used to be the second in command of the Dragon Lord Palace, which is enough.
The Soul Fountain enters the Snow King's Palace.
Enter the Lady's Bedchamber.
Soul Spring looked at the squeezed and deformed corpses one by one, frowning slightly.
"Shu Yuan is ruthless and intolerable to the real country, if I hadn't been coerced by her, I would have exposed Shu Yuan's evil deeds and made it public!" The matchmaker has words.
"I think this sister's collection is quite chic."
Soul Spring smiled lightly, didn't say much, just said, "Okay, help me clean out the two rooms." ”
"Two rooms?" The matchmaker was stunned for a moment: "Besides Lord Soul Spring, is there anyone else who wants to live in?" ”
"Well, there's another one that's my sister." Soul Spring bowed his head and said, "A little girl named Xingyu." ”
