Chapter 1255: Backbone
In an uninhabited mountain range, several wind-breaking sounds suddenly sounded, and immediately after, more than a dozen huge spirit beasts appeared in the air and galloped past.
On the backs of these spirit beasts, there were more than a dozen people sitting, and there were nearly two hundred people in the group. And these people are none other than the palace master of Lingqing Palace and some seed disciples of Lingqing Palace.
The group walked silently, no one spoke, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and I didn't know what they were thinking.
Suddenly, an old man sitting at the front suddenly took out a wooden card from the space ring, and after quickly scanning the two eyes, the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping, his face became a little ugly, and even his breathing became short.
"What's wrong?" A faint voice came from the side.
"Palace Master, take a look." The old man handed over the wooden card in his hand with some weakness.
The person who spoke before was none other than the palace master of Lingqing Palace.
The palace master took the wooden card, glanced at it very casually, and then smiled indifferently, and with a slight movement of his palm, the wooden card disappeared into his palm.
"Palace master, let's ......" The old man wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't know if he had any scruples, he still didn't dare to say anything.
"Why, do you care about all this gossip?" The palace master asked lightly.
The old man sighed and said, "I am a little saddened that the thousand-year-old reputation of Lingqing Palace has been ruined like this. ”
"What's more important than life?" The palace master asked: "If you don't even have your life, what's the use of keeping these so-called reputations?" Don't you feel that your life is inferior to these reputations? ”
The old man sighed again and said, "Palace Master, even if we escape now, it doesn't mean much. With the current reputation of Lingqing Palace among the people, it is impossible for us to re-establish Lingqing Palace. Even, it will be difficult for us to walk outside in the future. ”
The palace master was disdainful and said, "Just change the name, is the name Lingqing Palace so important?" As long as we can pass on these people, what does it matter if they are called Lingqing Palace? Change the name, we are still the founding patriarchs. ”
The corners of the old man's eyes twitched slightly, and then he fell silent, and after a long while, he spoke: "I still think that we have done something wrong, and I still feel that we should not do it." ”
The palace master glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Do you still think we should be like Qingyun Peak?" ”
"Yes, Palace Master." The old man took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Like Qingyun Peak, we can at least keep the Lingqing Palace." ”
"So you're going to let me die?" The palace master asked coldly.
"Palace Master, this is the mistake of our generation, and we should bear it." The old man seemed to be a little nervous, gritted his teeth and said, "If we can exchange our death for the inheritance of Lingqing Palace, I think we should do this." We should give an explanation to the Lingqing Palace and an explanation to all the disciples of the Lingqing Palace, instead of chilling all the disciples of the Lingqing Palace in this way. ”
The palace master frowned and didn't speak, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly, slowly closed his eyes, and looked like he didn't want to say anything more.
The old man glanced at him, his lips moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he sighed softly, and still said, "Palace Master, I'm afraid I can't leave with you anymore." ”
The palace master reopened his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Escaping from Lingqing Palace like this is not my style, and it is difficult for me to convince myself." The old man let out a sigh of relief and said, "Even if we can really escape, it will be difficult for me to live with peace of mind. Instead of this, it is better to die in Lingqing Palace to feel more at ease. ”
"Are you blaming me in a roundabout way?" The palace master asked coldly.
"Don't dare." The old man laughed at himself and said, "You are the palace master of Lingqing Palace, and you have the right to give orders." It's just that Lingqing Palace is not your Lingqing Palace alone, it belongs to the elders of the past generations who just want to stick to their own attitude, don't want to have no face to meet my master, and go to Lingqing Palace. ”
"Do you think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death?" The palace master looked at him and asked.
The old man did not speak, as if acquiescing.
"Have you ever thought that the reason why he let Qingyun Peak go is because he had stayed in Qingyun Peak for a short time. Lingqing Palace is different, if we stay there all the time, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave. At that time, I am afraid that Lingqing Palace will really be destroyed in our hands. ”
Before Fang Yan arrived, the head of Qingyun Peak also thought of this, but he asked the two elders of the sect to secretly leave with the seed disciples, and he stayed there to fight for them for a chance, and in the end, he did it. Qingyun Peak can continue to be inherited, and it is a very decent inheritance, and it will be passed on from the bone. ”
"But he's dead, too."
"He died worth it, he died with backbone. In the future, Qingyun Peak can continue to come out and walk, and he can straighten his waist and tell the world that they are disciples of Qingyun Peak, and the world will have more respect for them. If my death can be exchanged for the fair inheritance of Lingqing Palace, I am also willing. ”
"Do you think your legacy is more important than your own life?"
"Yes. The thousand-year-old inheritance of Lingqing Palace should not be buried in our hands like this, and in such a humiliating way. ”
"Are you accusing me?"
"As I said, I'm just showing my own attitude. I can't sway your thoughts, but I want to stick to my choices, I want to be above board, I want to have a clear conscience. ”
"Senior brother, do you have a prejudice against me, the palace master?"
"Nope."
"No?"
"Nope."
"When I sent someone to hunt him down, you strongly opposed it, and now you oppose it, and you still say that you don't have prejudices against me."
"Palace Master, the matter has come to this, and I don't want to say more." The old man sighed in his heart, looking like he didn't want to explain more, then stood up, got up and flew away from the back of the spirit beast, and said, "Palace master, forgive your subordinates for no longer being accompanied, you cherish it." ”
"Elder Zhou, wait a minute!"
At this moment, a somewhat timid voice suddenly sounded, causing Elder Zhou's figure that had just gotten up to stop again.
Behind this spirit beast, a yellow-shirted girl slowly stood up, her expression seemed to be a little nervous, but she finally mustered up the courage to look at Elder Zhou and asked, "Elder Zhou, I'm ...... Can I come with you? ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire space seemed to freeze.
