Unsheathed Sword Chapter 27: The General Trend of the World
Xu Huaigu sat alone in the room arranged for them by Song Er, anxious, unable to sit or stand, and had already changed back and forth several times.
He scratched his hair anxiously and helplessly, his eyes did not leave the tight door for a moment, and he almost forgot to wear through the thick door with golden threads and dragons and phoenixes in vermilion lacquer, but he had not yet seen Bai Xiaoyu and Li Zi come back.
He knew now, and this group of people had other plans to save them.
First Li Zi was reluctantly called away, and then Bai Xiaoyu, when he was waiting here to be called away, he seemed to be forgotten, and no one cared about him.
This not only did not comfort him, but only made him more anxious and afraid.
If they were called, they would at least know what their condition was. Now that I am left here, I can only do things in a hurry, but I can't do anything, and this feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable.
Ten thousand thoughts flashed through his mind again, and he kept guessing what would happen next, but he rejected them one by one.
Anxiety occupies the mind, and a moment is as long as a year.
He put his ear to the ground, listening to the footsteps coming and going, approaching and gradually moving away, but none of them were familiar.
He felt like he was going to be driven crazy and paced back and forth in this room.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Xu Huaigu looked back sharply, but only an old man came in with a few cups of tea.
He turned his head in disappointment, but he thought of something at random, and hurriedly ran over, and asked the person who was pouring tea into the teacup with a hopeful face: "Old uncle, do you know where the two people who came in with me before have gone?" ”
The steaming heat of the tea reflects the clear green tea. The old man who poured the tea shook his head firmly and said not a word.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he really doesn't know. Even if it was a few words of comfort to the child, he didn't dare to say it.
This wave of people was brought in by Lord Song Helm himself, and it was a major event for a continent to move around, if something went wrong because of his servant who was arrested, even if the Demon Sect died, he would not let him die happily.
The old man left after serving tea and pouring water, leaving Xu Huaigu alone in the room.
After I don't know how long, the door was finally opened again, Xu Huaigu hurried to see that it was Li Zi who was carried back by a person.
Xu Huaigu was ecstatic, and shouted as he ran over: "Li Zi! ”
But there was no voice answering.
Xu Huaigu stepped forward to take a look, but Li Zi was unconscious. He was immediately furious, looked at the man who had brought her in, and asked angrily, "What have you done to her!" ”
The man put Li Zi down, his face was expressionless, and he didn't pay attention to him, and left quickly.
Xu Huaigu was angry and anxious, he didn't know what Li Zi's condition was, so it took a lot of effort to carry her to the bed.
Li Zi's expression was very calm, as if he was taking a nap, but no matter how much Xu Huaigu shook him, he didn't wake up, which made him sweat profusely.
Xu Huaigu was dazed and helpless, not knowing what to do, a dead horse was a live horse doctor, so he simply took tea and poured it on her face, trying to make her sober up, but to no avail.
After working for a while without any improvement, Xu Huaigu sat on the ground in disappointment, helpless and helpless, like a person left behind by the world.
He whimpered silently, tears streaming down his fingers.
……
In a secret room dedicated to Song Er.
Song Er sat on a chair in front of Bai Xiaoyu, Candle served by his side, and Bai Xiaoyu faced the two of them with a hesitant expression.
Song Er said patiently: "I know your origin, it was a little white snake in the southern temple who ate incense and cultivated, but do you know what it means?" ”
Bai Xiaoyu couldn't understand why Song Er brought her here, and asked such a question. Although Song Er saved their lives, she didn't have a good impression of Song Er from the bottom of her heart, but she had to bow her head under the pressure of the form at this time.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know, please ask my seniors to make it clear." ”
Song Er looked at her and said encouragingly: "This means that you are a white snake who has cultivated the Incense Fire Divine Dao, which is rare in the world, and has an excellent cultivation talent. ”
Bai Xiaoyu frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Incense Fire Divine Dao?" What is this, how come I have never heard of it? ”
"You haven't had anyone to guide you since you were a child, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it, so I'll tell you."
Song Er straightened his body and said: "There are thousands of avenues in the world, and the end is the same way, which is nothing more than becoming a god and flying to another world."
There are monks, sword cultivators, martial artists, great demons, and ghosts on the cultivation path in the world, and all living beings in the Three Realms are complete, which is the tolerance of the Great Dao. But there is another path that is less well known, and that is what I call the Incense Shinto. ”
"Did you know that there really are gods in the world? Many people think this is nonsense, but we monks know that the gods really exist.
Human beings have spirits, and plants, trees, birds, and beasts also have spirits, so can't rivers and lakes have spirits? Is the road of the world only for living objects? That's too narrow. The gods we are talking about are the spirits born of the mountains, rivers and lakes themselves, and they are born with the ability to master themselves, and their birth depends on nature, but their cultivation depends on humans.
Human beings build mountain temples in the mountains, water temples in rivers, and city god temples in cities. The gods can rely on human incense and piety to increase their cultivation, and they must protect the safety of the water and land, which is the preference of Heaven for human beings. ”
Song Er stood up and walked in front of Bai Xiaoyu, and said solemnly, "But you...... It's a very strange exception, as a living creature, it is also practiced incense fire Shinto, which I have only seen a few times in ancient books, which is very rare. ”
Bai Xiaoyu listened to his words, or was he in the clouds, probably only knowing that his cultivation should be very powerful?
So he's trying to woo himself?
Sure enough, Song Er opened his mouth and said, "Bai Xiaoyu, in view of your excellent cultivation talent, I advise you to join our Demon Sect, we can give you the best cultivation resources, to ensure that you are on the Great Dao, and you can become an immortal in the near future, how about it?" ”
Bai Xiaoyu's puzzlement became even stronger, and then suddenly turned shocked, and asked, "You are the Demon Sect?" Is that the one that enshrines the extraterritorial ink dragon? ”
Song Er nodded and said, "Yes, it's us." ”
For the big name of the Demon Sect, Bai Xiaoyu still heard of it.
The strongest sect in the world, she has listened to the Jianghu guests in the temple countless times. It's just that when they mention the Demon Sect, they are all resentful, and they can't wait to kill everyone in the Demon Sect.
Bai Xiaoyu was very skeptical that this sect had been doing some hurtful things, so she asked again: "I have always heard that your reputation in the rivers and lakes is not very good, why is this?" ”
As soon as this was mentioned, Candle was the first to speak out angrily: "It's just because we are demon clans, and humans are born to discriminate against us!" ”
Song Er frowned and looked at Candle, Candle Er looked angry, and Song Er couldn't help but have a headache.
He has always wanted to train Candle to be his successor, but Candle has always had a short temper and hates humans in particular. Only cultivating to a high level can't make a big deal, and he climbed to this position more by relying on his eight-sided exquisite ability.
He didn't blame Candle, he knew that many demon clans had this idea, they were born like this, and like many humans who were born with hatred of demon clans, the hatred engraved into their bones was difficult to change.
He told Bai Xiaoyu: "Candle Er has a bad temper, but it probably means that most of the human beings hate us because of our sect name and identity. Our sect is the strongest sect in the world, there is no doubt about this, you join us and have your own bright future waiting for you. ”
Bai Xiaoyu was very hesitant, she thought for a long time before she sighed and said: "Thank you for the support of Senior Song, but Bai is used to getting along with human beings, and he doesn't have any lofty ambitions, he just wants to live a peaceful life, and he doesn't want to change anymore." ”
Seeing that the temptation of interests could not be achieved, Song Er's tone became serious, and he said, "If you want to live a peaceful life, it is impossible." Don't you like that Taoist priest, do you know what the identity of that Taoist priest is? ”
"I only know that he is a Taoist priest of Taihua Mountain."
Song Er sneered: "How much do you know about Taihua Mountain?" The world's first avenue of the Pope, thousands of people, all over the world, he Sun Xiang is the contemporary Taihua Mountain master disciple! The Great Monk of the Nine Realms, the Great Grandmaster of the Fu Gong, and the Master of the Formation! Are you worthy of him? ”
Bai Xiaoyu was shocked, he knew that the Taoist priest was very good, but he didn't know that he had such a big background.
She sighed and said, "In this case, I am not worthy of him, and there is no need to force it, it is just fate." ”
Song Er shook his head and said, "Then do you want to save his life?" ”
Bai Xiaoyu was shocked again, and hurriedly asked, "Is his life in danger?" You're going to kill him? ”
"It's not that we want to kill him, but the world is going to kill him."
Song Er said heavily: "Do you know why he came to such a desolate place in the south of Dayu Country? I might as well tell you that he is here to deal with the aftermath of Mo Long's escape. ”
"What!" Bai Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Molong escaped? ”
"That's right, he escaped. The general trend of the world can already be predicted, at least ten years, at most twenty years, Mo Long's strength is restored, and he will inevitably lead the demon clan outside the realm to attack, and then the entire world will be destroyed, can he escape? Only by joining our Demon Sect will Mo Long let us live, can't you see the situation clearly? ”
Bai Xiaoyu frowned, quickly thinking about so much information.
She asked, "Then are you sure that Molong will be able to kill it?" Maybe he can't beat the right path? ”
Song Er seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and laughed proudly and said, "Do you know how much effort they spent to suppress Molong back then? The two Twelve Realm Cultivators who did not ascend, plus the five Eleventh Realm Cultivators, worked together to suppress Mo Long. It's just suppression, they can't kill it at all! ”
"And now? There is not a single Twelve Realm cultivator in the world, and the two strongest eleventh realm peaks, one of them is still the Great Worship Elder of our sect. The human race is in decline, and it is no longer as strong as before, what to fight with Molong? ”
"You figure it out, as long as you join our Demon Sect, we will take your avenue straight to the sky and find a good position under the command of Mo Long, and then we can shelter the people you want to shelter. Otherwise, with your current skills, once the calamity comes, there will be only one way to die! ”
"Think it out!" Song Er threw down this sentence and left the secret room with Candle.
Bai Xiaoyu was alone in the secret room, suddenly like a dream.
Song Er's words kept echoing in her mind, shocking her mind and not knowing what to think.
