Chapter 112: Friendship with the same family
Ji Beichen and Yan Yueli traveled all night in the stars and the moon, and arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Spider Cave when it was almost dawn. Yan Yueli felt sorry for Ji Beichen's body, so she didn't go directly into the cave but found a hidden place near the entrance of the cave, and let Ji Beichen close his eyes and rest for two hours.
When Ji Beichen opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, Yan Yueli was already sleepy all the way, and unconsciously, he fell asleep on his shoulder.
Ji Beichen looked at Yan Yueli sleeping and felt distressed, obviously he was the palace master of Yan Yuezong, but now he was suffering with him in this dangerous trial valley.
With a "grunt", his stomach began to protest, and the hunger in his stomach swept over after the night of rice and water. But he didn't want to wake up the sleeping Yan Yueli, so he took out the water bag from his waist and poured two mouthfuls of water to satisfy his hunger, and then he looked at the rising sun and thought about his thoughts.
Although the demon pill of this Red Fire Demon Bead would help repair his sword heart and rebuild his dantian, he also knew that this injury was not a hundred times more difficult than the last time, when the sword heart was broken again.
If he is a little careless, goes mad, or becomes a waste, where is he worthy of the beauty in his arms, even if he becomes a disciple of the Cangxu Sect again, he will have no shame to return to the Nine Tribulations Mountain.
When he thought of the strange future, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his mind began to be disordered, as if he wanted to arouse the demons that he had finally suppressed.
Ji Beichen hurriedly took it, and before leaving, the meditation pill that Baishi's predecessor gave him, his eyes were closed, and he silently recited the Qingxin recipe of the Cangxu Sect, and the beads of sweat were cut down his cheeks, and his expression was extremely painful.
Suddenly, a woman's voice floated into Ji Beichen's consciousness, and her words were earnest: "Daoist friends, don't be self-despise, if you can't cultivate immortals in the future and become a mortal, you are also a son of Chen who values love and righteousness and sticks to the avenue." ”
Ji Beichen woke up like a dream when he heard this, yes, even if he can't be a monk Ji, he is also the son of Chen who shoulders the safety of the people of Cangzhou City!
Ji Beichen hurriedly thanked the woman, thinking about it, the deep voice was a little familiar, and he asked tentatively and softly, "But Senior Sister Tang of Qingmingfeng?" ”
Ji Beichen asked for a long time and didn't reply, thinking that the woman had left, but saw a woman in black appear in the dark and meet Ji Beichen.
"It's really Senior Sister Tang, why are you here?" Ji Beichen was surprised, he hadn't seen Tang Xiyu for nearly seven years, and he hadn't seen her since she lost to him that time, and even the disciples of Qingmingfeng didn't know her whereabouts.
Tang Xiyu nodded slightly as an answer, she was not in a hurry to catch up with Ji Beichen, she looked at Yan Yueli who was sleeping on Ji Beichen's shoulder, and raised her hand to fall Yan Yueli into a dream.
"Senior Sister Tang, is this?" Ji Beichen held the sleeping Yan Yueli in his arms, he was very puzzled by Tang Xiyu letting Yan Yueli fall asleep, could it be that Tang Xiyu knew Yan Yueli's identity?
Tang Xiyu slowly approached and explained to Ji Beichen: "Senior Brother Ji doesn't have to worry, she will automatically wake up after half an hour. The reason why I am doing this is because what I am about to tell you can only be known to you and me, that is, not even your most beloved person, are you willing? ”
Ji Beichen subconsciously glanced at Yan Yueli in his arms, slightly hesitant, after all, he and Tang Xiyu hadn't seen each other for seven years......
Seven years ago, when the Cangxu Sect's five-year competition began, the deacon's disciples jumped into the ring and said: "This time, those who win the first place can participate in this year's sword test conference."
Considering that the Xianmen sect gathered at this year's sword trial conference, there were no restrictions on the special field of the head of Xiao, and the senior brothers and sisters should each win by their own ability, do you have any objections to this? ”
The deacon disciples had just announced the rules of the competition, and the disciples of all the peaks in the audience were all discussing, but the voices of dissent were very unanimous.
"Who's going to make that? It's unfair! A female disciple of Qingping Peak was the first to speak bluntly.
The little disciple of Yiqing Tanfeng couldn't hold it back for a long time, and when he saw someone say it, he immediately echoed: "Who else can it be!" Since Uncle Xiao became the acting head, has the Cangxu faction ever been fair? ”
These words hit the hearts of the disciples of all peaks, they have long had a deep opinion on Xiao Shangqing, the acting head, and today is an opportunity to vent.
Even the disciples of Qingying Peak, who had always been indisputable and did not fight, couldn't help but say two sentences: "This rule is clearly biased in favor of people from Qingming Peak, everyone knows that they secretly practice spells other than sword techniques!" ”
The disciples of Qingmingfeng were originally at a loss, and they naturally had to sell well when they got cheap, but now the voice of dissent is getting higher and higher, and if they don't say a few words, they are afraid that they will lose the face of Master Xiao, and someone immediately took it up arrogantly: "You have the ability!" If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour! ”
When it came to spells, the disciples of Qingtan Peak were silent, after all, their Senior Brother Yan not only knew spells, but also a high-level cultivation talisman cultivator, and they naturally used some talismans when they went down the mountain to try.
However, the disciples of Qingping Peak have always disdained the art of cultivating immortals outside of the sword technique, and immediately discerned their position and said, "Our Cangxu is a famous and decent family, and we have cultivated the sword for thousands of years, so why bother to learn those side doors that are not in the stream!" ”
The discussion in the audience was gradually replaced by quarrels, and the deacon's disciples could only come to the stage again and said sharply: "If there are dissent, they can give up, and those who have no objections can participate in the preliminary round alone or in a team of two, and the winner can be promoted." ”
The disciples of each peak suddenly lost their voices, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to test the sword, go down the mountain to practice, find some opportunities, improve their cultivation, and respect the strong in the cultivation realm.
Seeing that everyone no longer had any objections, the deacon disciples directly announced the start of the competition: "Very good, if no one has any objections, the challenge qualifiers will officially begin!" In the first game, Qingtan Peak Ji Beichen fought against Qingming Peak Tang Xiyu. ”
Thirteen-year-old Ji Beichen is a heroic young man, dressed in white, and the fairy wind bones slowly fall on the ring, he is a new disciple with high hopes from Qingtan Peak, this is the first time he has participated in the same competition, and his voice is extremely high.
And Tang Xiyu of Qingming Peak, although he is more than twenty years older than Ji Beichen, the two are similar in cultivation, and they don't have the upper hand at first glance. This is indeed the case, after a while, Tang Xiyu couldn't resist the sword aura of the Cangxu Sword, and he was about to be defeated.
Hearing only a soft sound, Ji Beichen and Tang Xiyu's sword light resisted each other in mid-air, and suddenly Tang Xiyu's sword light quickly weakened a few feet, Ji Beichen fixed her eyes and saw that she was kneeling on the ground on one knee, covering her chest with one hand, and barely maintaining the sword light with the sword in one hand, obviously her defeat was decided.
Ji Beichen grew up beside the head of Xuhai since he was a child, and the head of Xuhai is the person who values the friendship of the same door the most, and Ji Beichen naturally knows how to respect teachers and protect each other. He saw that this Senior Sister Tang's defeat was decided, and at this time, he might be able to win the battle quickly, but Senior Sister Tang would inevitably be damaged, thinking of the teachings of the head master, the hand that took out the sword was also deviated by two points, and the sword qi was inevitably weakened by three points.
"Qingtan Peak Ji Beichen wins!" As the deacon disciples announced the results of the duel, the duel was over, and the disciples in the audience went elsewhere to watch other duels, leaving only Ji Beichen and Tang Xiyu on the stage.
Tang Xiyu bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time before she said, "You ...... Fang Cai is merciful to my men? In my thirty years of cultivating immortals, I have never seen a person like you. ”
Ji Beichen put away the Cangxu Sword in his hand, his immature face was full of puzzlement, what kind of person he was, he had never thought about this question, and then blurted out: "Senior Sister Tang, what kind of person do I think?" ”
Tang Xiyu sighed heavily, as if she didn't want to mention the past, she was silent for a moment and continued: "I have been in the Cangxu Sect for so many years, except for you, everyone else seems to be only obsessed with cultivation, and if there are not enough benefits, they will hardly take care of people, let alone be afraid that the other party will be injured and show mercy. ”
Where did Ji Beichen receive such praise when he was young, and when he heard this, his ears were directly red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up. Uncle Lu of Qingtan Peak is not smiling on weekdays, and he is extremely strict with his disciples, although he is happy in his heart, but adhering to Uncle Lu's teachings, he still has to be humble.
Ji Beichen thought for a while, and solemnly replied to Tang Xiyu: "Hmm...... I may be in my nature, I used to want to break off love and self-interest, and only seek the avenue, but then I found that I can't really do it, at least now! ”
Ji Beichen withdrew from the ring, leaving Tang Xiyu alone with a long time in her heart, she began to face her true self for the first time, and Ji Beichen's words deeply affected her future choice......
"Today, Senior Brother Ji still sticks to his heart?" Tang Xiyu's question interrupted Ji Beichen's memories, although she was asking, she already knew the answer in her heart, otherwise she would not have rashly appeared to meet Ji Beichen, after all, her identity had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Ji Beichen nodded without hesitation, from the broken heart of the sword, to the entry of the blue coat into the WTO, the re-marriage, and finally to the "waste", although there have been hardships and self-doubt along the way, his great road has never changed.
These days, Ji Beichen was tormented by the demons in his heart, and repeatedly fell into dreams without waking up, and he did not say anything about the experience to others, but today he wanted to say two words to Tang Xiyu: "When cultivating the realm of Jindan, my foundation was unstable and I encountered a demon, it asked me if I wanted to cultivate immortals even if I violated my heart, and if I watched others fall into suffering, I would not pay attention to it, and my heart was shaken." But with their persistence, I finally persevered......"
Ji Beichen paused, smiled and looked down at Yan Yueli in his arms, it was the company of the person in his arms, Yan Mingxiu did not give up, supported him out of the predicament, and let him understand what he really wanted to stick to!
"Therefore, since that evil qi attacked my heart, I have understood that valuing love and righteousness, and protecting the common people is the way I chose.
Tang Xiyu smiled with relief, as if he saw the young man with the fairy wind and bones, in seven years, he changed his appearance, age, cultivation and all other appearances, but did not change the avenue in his heart, what an exciting thing!
She couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart: Ji Beichen was lucky, and he knew what kind of path he was going to take seven years ago. And she thought that she knew the Tao of this world, so she tried everything to protect the Tao in her heart, but now she began to be confused again......
On that day at the sword test conference, Tang Xiyu watched Ji Beichen stand up for her own way, never fearless, she was like seven years ago, she was deeply shocked by it again, and began to face the true Tao in her heart!
Tang Xiyu looked at Ji Beichen with a firm look in her eyes, and made her final decision: "Senior Brother Ji, please remember my next words, there is no half a word." ”
Ji Beichen saw that Tang Xiyu seemed to have something serious to say to him, so he couldn't help but straighten his body and prepared to listen.
Seeing that Ji Beichen attached great importance to it, Tang Xiyu nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Tang Xiyu was gone seven years ago, and I am now the second elder of the Huan Xuan Sect guarding the palace......
