Chapter 1: Long Xiu
An old man said: "Senior brother, have you really decided to let Long Xiu go to the Taiping Demon Capital? That's your own son, although he said that he was going to be a hostage, but in fact he was a slave for life." ”
Another man said, "I know. ”
The old man said, "Long Xiu ...... him"
The man said, "The Taiping Demon has made me have to take my son as a hostage before I am willing to admit the cooperative relationship between us. The Yunshan Sect united with all factions to attack, if we can't get the support of the Taiping Demon Capital, the thousand-year-old foundation of the Immortal Yin Sect will be destroyed in my hands, how can I be the right master. The man paused and continued: "And Xiu'er can't cultivate, it's the best choice." ”
The old man said, "Is it true that Long Xiu can't cultivate? He's only seven years old, maybe ......?"
"Impossible, when Cai Qian was pregnant, she was poisoned by the Yunshan faction and forced to give birth prematurely. Xiu'er was born with meridian malformations, and she has been using medicine to supplement Xiu'er for all these years to survive. However, it is impossible to change the meridians. ”
The man squeaked the table and said fiercely: "Cloud... Mountain... Pai, I, Longmu, will not avenge this avenging oath not to be a person. ”
"Alas!" Yun Yazi also knew this, but he was helpless, the junior brother had to sacrifice his own child to keep the Xianyin Sect.
The origins of this event began a long time ago. A thousand years ago, a Taoist master came to Xianyin Mountain, opened a mountain here, established a sect here, proclaimed himself a true person of Xianyin, and founded the Xianyin faction. I wanted to cultivate in this pure place to prove the Great Dao. Who knows that there are more and more people who are learning from teachers, and their reputation is getting bigger and bigger. And the Yunshan faction is the largest sect in the Southern Regions, and when they learned of this, they asked the Xianyin faction to submit to it, but the Xianyin real people did not obey. The Yunshan faction attacked Xianyin Mountain and wanted to eliminate the Xianyin faction.
Unexpectedly, Xianyin Zhenren was furious, and with his own strong strength, he forced back the Yunshan faction. The Xianyin faction became a large sect, but at the same time, it also made enemies with the Yunshan faction.
After the Xianyin madman disappeared for no reason, the disciples could not inherit the ancestral master's divine skills, and the generation was not as good as the generation, and the Yunshan faction no longer cared about it, and united with other sects to repeatedly suppress the Xianyin faction, and now it has become a second-rate sect.
Now the Yunshan Sect has once again united with all factions to eliminate the Immortal Yin Sect. The current head of the Xianyin faction, Long Mu, does not have the strength of the ancestor master, and wants to protect the Xianyin faction by cooperating with the Taiping Demon Capital. The Taiping Demon Capital's answer was that it was okay to cooperate, but it was necessary to let Long Mu's son Long Xiu go to the Taiping Demon Capital as a hostage to be a slave for ten years.
Although it is ostensibly ten years, everyone understands it. Once the partnership is canceled, then the hostages will be killed, but if the cooperation continues, Long Xiu will be a slave for the rest of his life. Moreover, none of the hostages sent to the Taiping Demon Capital by other sects in the past came back alive. Long Mu also understood, but he decided to abandon his son and agreed to this condition, and he would send Long Xiu to the Taiping Demon Capital tomorrow.
Everyone knew that Long Xiu was going to die in the Taiping Demon Capital
In the back mountain of the Xianyin faction, a child stood by the lake, six or seven years old, with his hands clasped together. There was a flow of air around him, looming. The child was sweating profusely, and his immature body was also a little shaky, as if he was under great pressure.
After a few moments, the boy suddenly fell to the ground.
"Whew failed again. Daddy said that my meridians are very narrow, and it is difficult to condense my true qi. ”
Xiao Tong is Long Xiu, the only son of the head of the Xianyin Sect, and he is also a waste in the mouths of everyone. Due to the abnormal muscles and veins of premature birth, it cannot condense true qi. In order to comfort him, Tatsuki said that the meridians were very narrow.
"No, do it again. The sect has been in trouble recently, and I want to succeed in cultivating as soon as possible and help my father. Long Xiu wiped the sweat from his head, stood up and started the action just now.
"Try Again"
"Come Again"
“......”
"Long Xiu, what are you doing?"
Long Xiu turned his head and saw that it was the little senior sister Yu Scarlet, the senior sister was very good to him, and she was the only one in the sect who would not laugh at him for not being able to cultivate.
"Senior sister!"
"I'm still cultivating, oh, here you go. Jade Scarlet squatted down, took out a piece of candy and shook it in front of Long Xiu. Whenever she saw Long Xiu knowing that she couldn't cultivate, and still working hard again and again, her heart felt very uncomfortable.
"I don't want sugar, I'm not a child. Oops, it hurts, it hurts. ”
"The little kid still pretends to be an adult for me. Yu Scarlet pinched Long Xiu's face and said. "Take it, I owe you before. ”
"I owe me? I don't remember you owe me sugar. Although Long Xiu was confused, he still took the candy and ate it.
Yu Feishuang ignored him, straightened the hem of her clothes and sat down, holding her knees with her hands, looking at the small lake in front of her, as if she was remembering something. Seeing this, Long Xiu also sat down cross-legged. The lake is very clear, like a natural emerald, and the lake is very quiet, as quiet as a piece of glass.
"I remember one time, the master gave each of us a piece of candy, and when I finished eating my piece, when you saw it, he spit out the remaining half of the piece in his mouth to give it to me. Of all the brothers and sisters, you are the youngest, but you always let us. ”
"I'm a man. Long Xiu touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.
"Long Xiu, you ...... tomorrow" Jade Scarlet paused for a moment and continued, "Do you know about tomorrow?"
Long Xiu lowered his head as if he had thought of something, and nodded.
"Well, my father said that he wanted me to go to a place with Grandpa Zhang tomorrow, as long as I went, no one would dare to bully us in the future. As he spoke, he turned his head and gave Yu Feishuang a smile: "It's not just ten years, it's gone soon." Because I can't cultivate, my brothers don't like me. But I believe that when I come back, I will become stronger, and then I will be able to better protect the Immortal Yin Sect and protect everyone. At that time, the brothers will be willing to talk to me. ”
Jade Scarlet's eyes moistened, and she turned her head to the side to prevent Long Xiu from seeing it. Yu Feishuang couldn't bear to tell him the truth of the matter, the strong Long Xiu, a seven-year-old child had to shoulder the burden of the entire sect. You have to leave home and go to a distant place to be a slave for the rest of your life, and you are likely to die there.
"The little ghost pretends to be an adult for me again, but my sister believes in you. Promise my sister to live well. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Jade Scarlet touched Long Xiu's head dotingly. Xindao: Wait for me, no matter what kind of sin city it is, Senior Sister will definitely bring you back.
"Well, Senior Sister, go get busy, I'm going to cultivate too. Long Xiu turned his head to look at the back of his senior sister: "Senior sister is weird today." ”
Long Xiu began to cultivate again, and after a while, he fell to the ground again.
Long Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his cheeks with both hands. While resting, I thought: Why is this? Daddy said that my meridians are very narrow, but even if the meridians are very narrow, I should be able to pass through them, and every time the condensed true qi cannot circulate in the meridians, it seems to be going the wrong way. Is it the wrong method? No, no, this is left by the grandfather, and it should be right. Am I doing something wrong?
Huh? What is it?
A stone floated from not far away, and Long Xiu walked over to pick it up and looked at it. The stone can still float, oval, like an egg, but I've never seen anything like it. Look at the egg-like object in front of you. It's bigger than an egg, but it doesn't look like an egg, and the pattern on it is very beautiful, like a petal.
I tapped my fingers, but there was no movement. I put it on my ears and listened to it, but there was still no movement. Is it a stone carved out by someone? Long Xiu wiped the egg clean with his sleeve, raised it and looked at it, it was milky white, and a little transparent, and it still glowed reddish under the sunset, put the egg in his arms, and went back to show his mother.
Trotting all the way, the lake is not far away, but it is not close for a small child. By the time Long Xiu ran home, it was already dark. When I walked to the door, I heard someone talking in the yard. Long Xiu could hear it, it was the voice of his father and mother, and he stood at the door and listened.
Mother: "Brother Mu, did you really agree to them, you are the head of the house, you can help Xiu'er, he is still a child." (crying)
Father: "I'm sorry, I had to do this for the sake of the sect. ”
Mother: "He's only seven years old, how can you let him live when he goes there? Without Long'er, how can you let me live? Because I was born prematurely, Long'er has been looked down upon by my brothers since I was a child." Now it's going to be again" (Mother can't stop crying.) )
Father: "Cai Qian, I don't want to. He is also my child, if I don't agree, without the help of the Taiping Demon Capital, the Xianyin Sect will be razed to the ground by the Yunshan Sect, and so many disciples will also be killed. I had to do it. ”
......
As the sound faded away, there was a sound of the door shut, and the mother and father entered the house. Long Xiu looked at the starry sky in the sky, the deep night sky revealed a light that seemed to be nothing, without the slightest wave, the floating wind, with the sadness of the moonlight into the arms of the night sky, sinking in this silence
Hearing the conversation between his parents, Long Xiu already understood, and at the same time understood why the senior sister was weird today.
"Am I going to die there?"
After a long time, Long Xiu walked into the courtyard, and when he heard the sound of Long Xiu coming back, his mother Liu Caiqian pushed the door and walked out, the tears on her face had not dried up, and she said with a smile: "Long Er is back." ”
Long Xiu couldn't bear to make her mother feel sorry for herself, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm back." ”
"Long'er, where have you been?" Liu Caiqian said as she walked over and took Long Xiu's hand.
"Well, my sister and I went to the back mountain for a walk, and we came back late. ”
Maybe it's just very commonplace, ordinary words, dispensable nonsense. But a mother wants to say as many words as possible to her child and look at her child a few more times before parting.
“......”
Long Xiu understood her mother's feelings, so the two of them pulled home.
Liu Caiqian touched Long Xiu's head and said reluctantly: "It's late, go to bed early." ”
"Well, so is my mother. ”
Liu Caiqian looked at her child's back until Long Xiu entered the house. It's just a mother who wants to see her child a few more times before parting.
Long Xiu clenched his fists and swore: "No, I must live! I will definitely come back alive!"
