22. Reunion (two chapters in one)
The power of the Thunder Tribulation was too terrifying, it chased Wen Chuyan and bombarded it wildly, as if it wanted to blast him and the Long Yuan Sword into scum.
But strangely...... Just when Jiang Xingmian thought that they were about to be wiped out, the irritable thunder dissipated lightly, and it successfully used its actions to interpret what is called real thunder and rain.
"What's going on with this thunderstorm?" Jiang Xingmian felt that something was wrong.
Wen Chuyan didn't answer her, but said to Long Yuanjian indifferently, "We can help you block for a while, but we can't help you block for a lifetime, this tribulation, you have to deal with it yourself." With that, he threw the hot sword in his hand into the air.
In an instant, the terrifying thunder and lightning drowned the Long Yuan Sword.
In the loud rumbling sound, Jiang Xingmian looked confused: "We...... Can you stop the catastrophe?" She felt that something was wrong.
But Wen Chuyan said, "Heaven is merciful and does not harm innocent beings."
Is it merciful? In that play, demons are rampant, and corpses are thousands of miles away, why don't you care about the way of heaven? I always felt that Wen Chuyan's words were far-fetched.
But Jiang Xingmian's thinking is more imaginative, she thought, maybe, because...... Wen Chuyan is the golden finger arranged for her by Tiandao, and she may be the crossover object that Tiandao focuses on, and she is instantly relieved, anyway, no matter what, it is a good thing that Tiandao does not split them.
But seeing the pitiful being chased by thunder day and night, Jiang Xingmian was still a little unbearable, so he said to Wen Chuyan, "This thunder tribulation...... Can we help? It's like in the TV series, use talismans and magic weapons to help him share the pressure."
Wen Chuyan said lightly: "Let's just look at it, don't worry about it."
Jiang Xingmian: "......"
·
The terrifying Thunder Tribulation was of course eye-catching, and Qin Shou in the distance looked at the sudden Thunder Tribulation, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and say with an incredulous face: "! Who is the summoner? How can it lead to a catastrophe?"
Qin Yaoyue looked at Wen Chuyan with a calm expression, the young man was like Si, the sun was like the rising sun, and the thunderclouds were surging, but he couldn't hide his elegance. She said in a cold voice, "That young man is not an ordinary person, I used my divine sense to probe him but fell into the sea, this time the grievance is over, I will fly into the upper realm, you better not provoke him." z.br>
Qin Shou was shocked: "Even you can't detect his true situation? Could it be that the dog of Ten Thousand Beasts Island deliberately suppressed the cultivation to come to practice? No, no, if he suppresses the cultivation ......" Suddenly, he reacted, and his voice suddenly rose: "What? Are you ready to ascend?"
Qin Yaoyue sighed softly: "I don't know why, my heart is restless day and night."
Qin Shou was a little difficult to accept: "However, the Demon State Barrier is loose, the demons are about to wreak havoc on Shui Yue Xing again, and the mainstay of our human race died and injured a thousand years ago...... he couldn't open his mouth because the holy woman suddenly looked at him with a very sad gaze.
"The destruction of the Shui Yue Star is fate, and no force can stop it, and my ascension in this special period is not to escape, but to resist fate and find a promise."
"What's the answer?" Qin Shou asked blankly. Looking at the saint's expression, for some reason, his heart suddenly beat uncontrollably, as if something very bad would happen in the near future.
It just so happened that at this moment, a thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and the blue flash blurred Qin Yaoyue's face with illusory and firmness. Looking at the thunder tribulation, she said with a cold look in her eyes: "In the long years of being sealed, I have calculated day by day, nightmares night and nightmare, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, I want to ask, why did the Heavenly Dao deliberately destroy my Shui Yue Xing!"
"Heavenly ...... Heavenly Dao wants to deliberately destroy us? For...... What?"
"I'd love to know the answers."
·
The power of the Thunder Tribulation was too terrifying, Jiang Xingmian and Wen Chuyan were in the center of the storm, even if the thunder didn't cut them, the aftermath would make them a little unbearable.
Wen Chuyan protected the little fox in his arms and retreated quickly, and only after reaching a safe place did he let go of his clenched hands.
Jiang Xingmian put his claws on Wen Chuyan's arms, and a pair of big gray-blue eyes were firmly staring at the center of the thunder and lightning, and asked worriedly, "You say, day and night will come together
Will you survive this thunderstorm?"
But Wen Chuyan, who is gentle and patient in the face of her and loves her very much, has such a face when facing others.
He said indifferently, "If you can't cross it, you'll die."
The indifferent and ruthless onlooker's face made Jiang Xingmian speechless, although the day and night were Zhou Yelong, but it was also the sword spirit of the Longyuan Sword!
She was about to persuade Wen Chuyan not to do such a thing, when in the rumbling thunderstorm, an inaudible voice suddenly came, "Wen...... Wen Chuyan?"
The voice......
Jiang Xingmian turned his head suddenly.
Xue Hongyan was covered in injuries and held a beautiful magic staff, standing on the steps of the temple, her expression as frightened and stupid as if she had seen a ghost.
Her head was down for two seconds, and she finally reacted, and immediately broke free from Wen Chuyan's arms, like a moving flame, stepping on the water and rushing towards Xue Hongyan: "Sister Xue!"
Xue Hongyan looked at the running Mao Tuanzi in a daze, and she didn't recognize it for a while, but the spirit beast that would call her "Sister Xue" was only Wen Chuyan's contract beast Ahri!
She caught the little fox who jumped into her arms, and asked three times in disbelief, "Are you...... Ali? How did you grow three tails? Aren't you a white fox? How did you become a red fox?"
"It's me!" Jiang Xingmian wagged his big tail vigorously and said happily, "I have mutated, so my appearance has changed."
Xue Hongyan was about to inquire carefully, but she heard Mao Tuanzi say softly, "I've been looking for you for a long, long time! I send you messages every day, call you every day, and I have asked all your classmates, and even added Gu Zhangjiao's friends to check the information in the school...... But I haven't heard from you yet, and I'm really worried."
Mao Tuanzi's voice was sincere and accusatory, and the resentful little expression made people feel sad and soft.
Xue Hongyan suddenly threw the question she wanted to ask out of the clouds, and looked at the little fox in her arms fixedly: "You...... That's why you're here because you're looking for me?"
"Uh-huh, yes." Jiang Xingmian nodded repeatedly: "I have been to Wushuang City, and they told me that you left the Xue Mansion half a month ago, and we followed the direction you left all the way, searched all the way, and finally found here."
Lingqi Temple is the most dangerous place in the Central Plains Continent, and a casual search on the Internet can find a large number of terrible death cases, this place even the masters of the Jindan period dare not set foot at will, and Ahri and Wen Chuyan are actually ......
Moved emotions surged densely in her heart, Xue Hongya's eyes were hot, and she had the urge to cry. Neglected since childhood, targeted since childhood, living in a disguise of fear every day, her existence is a thorn in the eye of Xue Fu, a thorn in the flesh, except for Grandpa Tai in this world, no one cares about her at all, and even the personal bodyguard around her is the eyeliner specially cultivated by Xue Yingzhang.
Look at the pure eyes in front of you.
Her pretended strength finally couldn't break, she hugged the hair ball in her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "I ......"
She's grown up and she's never experienced what it's like to be cared for, and it's clear that they're not related by blood, or even close...... She didn't know what to do with it, and tears welled up in her eyes, and she said with red eyes, "Thank you."
may feel that this sentence is too light, and she said solemnly: "In the future, you and Wen Chuyan will be my brothers in life and death."
Seeing Xue Hongyan's appearance of being moved to cry, Jiang Xingmian couldn't help but tease her: "Aren't we your brothers in life and death before?"
said, pretending to be sad and lowered his head: "When we were in Xinyang City, we fought side by side, ate and drank together, I thought we were already partners in life and death, but I didn't expect that in Sister Xue's heart, it was still a little bit close, I was really sad." After saying that, his ears drooped, and he looked so pitiful.
Xue Hongyan took it seriously and hurriedly explained: "No, no, you used to be partners in my heart, and you were also partners in life and death......
How can the arrogant and domineering lady in the eyes of the world be so anxious to express her intentions? Jiang Xingmian snorted and laughed, "I'm kidding, of course I know your mind."
She used her claws to wipe away Xue Hongyan's tears, and said warmly, "Sister Xue, don't cry, I know that you have suffered a lot, don't go back to Xue's house in the future, just stay in Nianning Academy, I am already Dean Bai's apprentice now, I will cover you in the future, those bad people will definitely not dare to bully you openly."
Xue Hongyan was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Xingmian repeated like a stream: "I said, don't go back to the Xue family in the future......
Xue Hongyan stared at her: "It's not this sentence, it's the latter sentence!"
Jiang Xingmian said tentatively, "I'm already Dean Bai's apprentice now?"
Xue Hongyan raised her staff excitedly: "Yes! That's it!" She lifted Jiang Xingmian high, as if she was looking at an extinct animal, her face full of incredulity: ", how did you become the apprentice of the white longbow? If I'm not mistaken, he hasn't taken an apprentice in hundreds of years, it's unbelievable!"
The shock irritated her psyche, and she began to speculate uncontrollably, "Could it be that he was drunk and babbling nonsense? Or did you accidentally get seriously injured and you picked him up, and you made an exception to take him as an apprentice?"
Obviously, Xue Hongyan is a heavy idol drama lover.
But obviously now is not the time to do homework, Jiang Xingmian looked at the bruises on Xue Hongyan's face: "That's a long story, I'll tell you about it slowly in the future, now you are covered in injuries, it must be very painful, it's better to treat the injuries first."
Xue Hongyan freed up a hand to touch the bruises on her face, hissed and said, "These injuries are all caused by Yin Spirits, and they can't be removed with spiritual energy." She raised her staff again, "But if it hadn't saved me, I'd have hung up."
"What is this?" Jiang Xingmian felt that this staff was very familiar, and he couldn't tell where he had seen it.
"I guess it's the weapon of the Holy Maiden." Xue Hongyan said uncertainly.
"The Saint's Weapon?" Jiang Xingmian finally remembered! She had seen this staff in the play, and in the recollection plot, the Holy Maiden of Lingqi used it to resist the invading demons!
Xue Hongyan poured out her desire to crackle and pour bitter water: "Do you remember the last time I was in the academy, I was forcibly abducted by Xue Yingzhang's old thing?"
Jiang Xingmian nodded fiercely: "Remember!"
She said angrily, "After I got home, the old immortal actually asked me to kneel down with Ning Yuangui's cock, is he worthy? Of course, the old lady would rather die than obey, but I didn't expect him to put me under house arrest when he pressed down on his big hat that disrespected the teacher.
"And then?" Jiang Xingmian asked patiently.
"Then my grandfather released me out of the customs, but after all, he was too old to stay in the demonic qi for too long, so he returned to the secret realm, and then I was about to go back to the academy, but I didn't expect to be hijacked by Ye Feifei's people halfway."
Speaking of this, Xue Hongya gritted her teeth, her dark eyes quickly reddened, she clenched her fists, and said, "That dog is better than locking the old lady in the basement of the Ye family, torturing her every day, and forcing me to tell the details of the Lin family village, is the old lady such a spineless person? I'd rather die than say it! I didn't expect him to torture me with worm Gu without conscience......
Saying that, under Jiang Xingmian's stunned gaze, she rolled up her sleeves to reveal the hideous and terrifying raised scar inside, "These wounds were all bitten by Gu worms, they got into my flesh, and that dog sprinkled salt on the wound afterwards to prevent the wound from healing, this inhuman thing is done so skillfully, as if he usually does something lacking in virtue!"
Her expression was gloomy, and her red eyes were filled with bitter hatred, and she swore and said, "If this dog falls into the hands of the old lady in the future, see how the old lady tortures him!"
Jiang Xingmian was very distressed, Xue Hongyan in the play was tortured to death in this way, also to protect Wen Chuyan and Ahri, but the difference is that in the end, she did not escape, but was injected with a demonic virus by Ye Feifei and became neither human nor ghost, and finally died of pain.
Jiang Xingmian was very sad, and couldn't help but ask her, "Ye Feifei is so ruthless, as if he wants your life, why don't you tell him the details of Linjia Village directly?" We're safe anyway, so even if he knows, it doesn't matter."
But who knows, Xue Hongyan was rubbing her
head, and said earnestly, "Are you stupid? If I tell the details of Linjia Village, wouldn't Ye Feifei know that you took the Nirvana Bead? Do you have peace of mind after that? I hurt, it's just a pain for a while, but if the existence of the Nirvana Pearl is known by that dog, it will be an appendage that I can't get rid of for a lifetime, and you don't know how domineering the Ye family is?"
Xue Hongyan has always been unreasonable, whether externally or internally, a knife mouth can always make people bloody, but she is so heartless that she can say such heartfelt words to her.
She didn't even think about whether she would be killed by Ye Feifei because of this, and she didn't even consider whether it was worth it for her to do this.
Just because of just one month of getting along, she treated her like this......
Jiang Xingmian's eyes moistened slightly, guilty, moved, uneasy, and panicked...... All kinds of emotions drowned her out. She clearly understands that most of the reason why she coaxed her sweetly at the beginning was not because of how much she liked her, but because she was irritable, and it was difficult to stop the eldest lady's temper, and she accommodated her for the sake of the harmony of the team.
Even......
At the beginning, she risked her life to deliver the news to Ning Yanzhuo, not because of how innocent and selfless she was, but just because she owed her what she wanted, but because of the cause and effect.
Yes, she owes Xue Hongyan and can't pay it off for the rest of her life.
At the beginning, Wen Chuyan took the initiative to invite her to Linjia Village because she was simple and easy to deceive and was not valued by the Xue family, and later borrowed her whip to massacre the ghosts in the village in order to cause trouble.
She is a substitute ghost specially selected by Wen Chuyan to block the knife for her.
As long as she had the brain, she could understand the cause and effect with a little thought, but she did not question them, but did her best to protect them.
Jiang Xingmian's eyes were red and he said, "I'm sorry Sister Xue."
Xue Hongyan was unimpressed: "What are you sorry for me? I did it of my own free will, and you didn't force me."
It was precisely because she was willing that she was so guilty, but Jiang Xingmian was not a person who drilled the horns, she and Xue Hongyan were already a two-way friendship, and she would have time to be good to her in the future, so she asked again with concern, "Then how did you escape?"
Xue Hongyan said in a thick nasal voice, "It was my grandfather who went to the Ye family to turn me out, and for this reason, his old man even had a fight with the ancestor of the Ye family." She stroked Jiang Xingmian's fingers trembling slightly: "Grandpa Tai is already old, and after fighting with the ancestor of the Ye family, his health is not as good as before, and he may not have a few years to live."
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the rules of nature, Jiang Xingmian can't persuade with suitable words at all, she can only use her furry head against Xue Hongyan's palm, giving her a little comfort.
Xue Hongyan hugged Mao Tuanzi, took a deep breath, and continued: "After Grandpa Tai's retreat, I was going to go back to the academy, but I didn't expect that Xue Yingzhang's old thing actually sent a group of mad dogs to intercept and kill me in the Star Shift Pavilion, and even hired the cheap breed of "Shadow Killing Brother", in order to avoid his pursuit, I had to use the teleportation charm to teleport to the Lingqi Temple."
"And then?" Jiang Xingmian asked.
"Then I managed to get trapped in a strange pagoda temple, which gave me a strange feeling, there was no aura in the air, but there was no demonic energy."
Jiang Xingmian asked in wonder, "Then how did you get to the Holy Maiden's dormitory?"
With the sound of thunder, Xue Hongya leaned close to Jiang Xingmian's ears and whispered: "In that strange pagoda temple, there is a secret passage leading to the holy woman's bedroom, which is very, very hidden, very strange, it is estimated that the reason why the holy woman disappeared back then was related to that secret passage."
Secret passages?
Jiang Xingmian was about to inquire carefully, but at this moment, the mighty thunder tribulation suddenly stopped chopping, and the world became silent, Jiang Xingmian hurriedly turned around.
I saw that the Holy Maiden Lake, which had been devastated by the thunderstorm, had turned into a dry wasteland, and countless large black and terrifying holes dotted on it added to the devastation, however, in the white smoke, day and night were gone.
