Chapter Seventy-Six: The North of the World
With the escape of the five people in the Valley of the Holy Spirit.
Taihu Lake fell silent again, and the people of Wudang didn't have time to say goodbye to Yuan Qi, so they chased to the 100,000 mountains.
At the same time, there are still many people who want to compete for the Heavenly Spirit Stone in the south of the 100,000 Great Mountain. From the conversation between Zhang Xuandao and the Ghost King, they concluded that the Heavenly Spirit Stone had fallen into the hands of the Ghost King, although no one had ever seen the real Heavenly Spirit Stone.
At the bottom of Taihu Lake, the sudden vibration added a lot of boulders to the stone mill where Chen Zhenyi was buried.
Chen Zhenyi watched as the aura in those strange stones became less and less, and realized that his death would not be far off. The sound of collapsing rocks can still be heard all around, and this mysterious space should soon collapse completely.
In the small space enclosed by stones, the flow of water is getting stronger and stronger.
Soon, the stones piled up together began to shake, and the stone cave oppressed by the water pressure was about to collapse, Chen Zhenyi stood up, trying his best to dodge the stones falling from the top of his head.
Finally, in another violent shaking, the entire stone cave completely collapsed, burying Chen Zhenyi under the stone.
The green-shirted Confucian standing on the ethereal peak looked at the sinking Taihu Lake, with a melancholy face.
This time he came to Taihu Lake, at first it was also for the Tianjing Stone, but when he saw the two old people, he gave up. The people of Liangxi City came and went quickly, and in less than half a day, the people from the rivers and lakes gathered in Liangxi left, and at this time, Liangxi returned to calm.
Yuan Qi and his disciples closed the inn and walked to Taihu Lake on foot.
When they came to the lake, they saw the water of Taihu Lake, which fell nearly three feet high, and looked at each other. I don't know what's going on here.
"Master, is there really a Heavenly Spirit Stone at the bottom of this lake?" The shopkeeper asked.
Yuan Qi shook his head, looked at the corpses lying on the edge of the lake, and sighed lightly: "The ancestor left a testament and asked me to wait here to protect it, but unfortunately, we are just a side branch, and we are scattered and powerless to change."
Yuan Qi walked to the shore, sat down cross-legged, recited the transcendent scriptures, and extradited the souls of the dead.
"Master, what about these corpses?"
"The spirit has been transformed, this skin is useless, let's put it in the lake! The spirit of the red pig can keep them safe in the next life, so let this body repay the spirit of the red pig! Yuan Qi said as he and his apprentice threw the corpses by the lake into the lake one by one.
The shopkeeper watched the thrown corpse being devoured by the red pig in the lake, and said a little unbearably: "Master, isn't it good to do this?" It is said that these people will have to feed the fish after they die, will they ......".
Yuan Qi was expressionless, and said lightly: "They have all entered the Demon Dao, although the red pig has eaten their corpses, it can purify the anger in their hearts, and they will have a good destination in the next life, so that they will not fall into the Demon Dao again, and they will only gain if they give up."
The two men worked for two hours, and it was almost dark that they had disposed of all the corpses, and the blood on the shore of the lake was sucked into the lake. Lake Taihu has returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened here.
Just as the two of them were about to return, the ground under their feet began to shake slightly, and a violent explosion occurred in Taihu Lake, and the Quartet Tianlong held a corpse and took off from the lake and flew to the South China Sea.
The two of them looked up at the Sifang Heavenly Dragon that was gradually moving away. Yuan Qi frowned, thoughtful.
"Master, is it a person who the Quartet Heavenly Dragon has led away?" The shopkeeper asked with some uncertainty.
Yuan Qi didn't speak, and watched in a daze as the Quartet Heavenly Dragon disappeared into the night sky.
The Confucian student in the green shirt was also shocked by the sudden scene, and he recognized that the person who was being held by the Sifang Tianlong was Chen Zhenyi, a disciple of Wudang Mountain.
The boy who had been missing for six days may not be dead.
He flew west.
————
The little girl holds the fish mystery, crosses the North Sea, and enters the North Underworld.
When the barrier behind him is closed, all grievances and grievances in the world are cut off.
After traveling in the world for fifteen years, Xiao Yao is very tired.
In the middle of the endless sea, there stands an isolated island. There is no distinction between heaven and earth, there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the sun, moon and stars, but there are countless precious medicinal materials and large areas of green and lush forests.
Seeing Xiao Yao come back, many fox clans who lived in the north of the world came up one after another, and asked Xiao Yao about his experience of going out over the years, Xiao Yao had no intention of talking, retreated them, and walked into a palace with a fish mystery.
On this isolated island, the only place where there are artificial traces is this palace called Guanlan Pavilion.
This was once the place where the white-clothed young man Zhou Zixiu cultivated and comprehended the way of heaven, and for thousands of years, the only human being who entered the Northern Netherworld, stayed in the Guanlan Pavilion for a hundred years, and finally cultivated into a getaway.
Xiao Yao put Yu Xuanji on the bed, glanced at Yu Xuanji, who was still in a coma, and turned around and walked out of Guanlan Pavilion.
Xiao Yao came all the way to the place where the fox clan lived, followed the familiar road, and walked into a cave.
Seeing an old man with gray hair who was refining pills inside, tears flowed from Xiao Yao's eyes.
The little girl stood at the door and looked at the old man with a rickety waist, and couldn't help crying: "Grandpa......."
The old man turned around and saw his granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, with a smile on his old face, and said gently, "Are you willing to come back?" ”。
The little girl ran in and threw herself into her grandfather's arms, choking incessantly. The old man gently stroked the little girl's back and said slowly, "Wronged? ”。
The little girl didn't answer, and sobbed vigorously.
The old man hugged his granddaughter like that, and after a long time, he said, "Don't cry! You've got my clothes wet."
The little girl raised her head, rubbed her red eyes, looked at her grandfather, and said, "From now on, I will never go out again, and I will accompany you here to refine the pill."
The old man nodded, walked to the side of the stone wall, and took a gourd from it. Walked to the little girl and sat down again, poured out a pill from the gourd, and said, "This is the elixir I have refined in the past few years, it can prolong life, take one!" ”。
The little girl looked at the pill, and then remembered the purpose of her visit, and said, "Grandpa, I brought back a person, she was seriously injured, you go and see her!" ”。
The old man followed the little girl into the Guanlan Pavilion and saw Yu Xuanji lying on the bed, unconscious.
put his hand on Yu Xuanji's wrist, and after a while, he said with a solemn face: "She was abolished and cultivated?" ”。
The little girl nodded and asked anxiously, "Grandpa, is she still saved?" ”。
"...... won't die," the old man stroked his beard and looked at his granddaughter with an anxious face. The little girl glared at her grandfather and said, "You know I didn't mean ...... that."
The old man asked knowingly, "Then what do you mean?" ”。
The little girl looked at her grandfather suspiciously, pulled up her grandfather's beard, and scolded: "Old immortal, you will be brilliant if you give you some color, right?" Come on, can you help her recover her cultivation? ”。
The old man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Grandma, I have taken it, let go of ......."
Only then did the little girl let go of her hand and said, "Give her more of the pills you have refined, and let him recover ......his cultivation as soon as possible."
The old man shook his head helplessly, and said thoughtfully: "She was broken by someone, my elixir treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and her cultivation cannot be restored, so she can only cultivate again."
The little girl hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay if that kind of impersonal Dao method is abolished, then you can continue her spiritual root and let her cultivate here, it must be stronger than any bullshit martial arts Dao method."
When the old man heard Wudang, he hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, you ordered, I can only go all out."
The little girl looked at the empty house, remembered Zhou Zixiu's ruthlessness when she was in Taihu Lake, and suddenly had a trace of puzzlement on her face, turned to look at her grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, do you think that guy is a good person?" ”。
The old man didn't know why, stood up and walked to the little girl's side, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”。
The little girl told her grandfather everything she saw and heard in Taihu Lake, and she didn't understand why people were so ruthless. It's okay if you don't save yourself when you die, and let others be as ruthless as they are.
The old man sighed and said, "The affairs of the world have their own rules, unlike this northern underworld, there is no strife and carefree. But in the world, many times it is involuntary, you can't deny a person because of one thing, good and evil are not as simple as you see."
"Do you mean that for the sake of the so-called Tao, you can see death without salvation?" The little girl didn't agree with her grandfather's statement and asked sharply.
"Xiao Yao, I can't tell you about this matter, if one day you can really become a human and understand the sophistication of human feelings, you will naturally understand" The old man's face had a little melancholy that was not easy to be noticed.
The little girl snorted coldly and said, "You mean I'm not a human yet?" ”。
The old man did not answer, but turned to go back.
Hearing Yu Xuanji's cough, he stopped and turned his head to look at the girl lying on the bed on the side.
Yu Xuanji opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar environment, and wanted to sit up, but he was weak and unable to control his body.
The child ran over, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked excitedly, "Are you awake?" ”。
Yu Xuanji saw that it was the little girl who had been following Uncle Taishi, she was a little curious, and asked weakly, "What is this place?" ”。
"You have a good rest, and when you get better in a few days, I'll send you to Wudang" The little girl deliberately tried to explore the mystery of the fish and deliberately mentioned Wudang.
Hearing the word Wudang, Yu Xuanji's brows furrowed, a bitter smile appeared on his pale face, two tears slipped from his eyes, and he said leisurely: "I am no longer a disciple of Wudang, Master She doesn't want me anymore."
The little girl wiped away her tears for Yu Xuanji, sighed and said, "Don't worry about these for now, you have a good rest, and then talk about it when you have taken care of your body."
Yu Xuanji closed his eyes again, his mind was full of what happened by Taihu Lake, the master's angry expression, the cold eyes of the senior sister who wanted to put herself to death, and the pretentious people in Wudang, all pierced the heart like knives.
