Chapter 216: The Past (2)
Although the master was only a year of dancing spoons at that time, he had a clear mind, and he had already noticed the strangeness of the poisonous people who were not afraid of pain in the hands of the poisonous people, and saw that Ziling had intended to protect them, so he asked Ziling about the poisonous people. Ziling saw that the master was willing to stand up for a stranger he didn't know, and he knew that he was definitely not a villain, and he knew that the matter was very important, so he didn't dare to deceive him, so he truthfully told the master about the poisoner. Ziling originally wanted to take the master to find the Yingfu Grass and help the master remove the poison in his body, but the master was immediately anxious after knowing that the poisoner was carrying the poison, and insisted on looking for Miss Lin and King Huai despite Ah Ying's strong dissuasion, and asked Ah Ying to protect Zi Ling and find people in two ways with you. ”
At this point, Ziling's fingers trembled a little, his eyes revealed a trace of sadness, a trace of remorse, and the whole person was like a flower that had been swept by the cold wind, and he bowed his head deeply.
"Later, when Ah Ying and Ziling saw their master again, the ground was full of snow wolf's corpses, and the master was protecting Miss Lin who fell to the ground unconscious, covered in blood."
To this day, Ziling still remembers that scene clearly-
In the snowstorm, snow white and blood red were intertwined, the master knelt on the snow with his sword and gasped, a line of blood flowed from the corner of his lips, but his eyes were like quenched ice, and his tenacity was full of killing intent. His white robe had been dyed red with blood, several scratches loomed on his skin through the ragged robe, and the white lotus pattern embroidered on the robe flowed through the blood, like a red lotus burning in the snow curtain, extremely dazzling and dazzling. The corpses of the snow wolf were scattered everywhere, but none of them were within half a foot behind him, as if they had invisibly built a barrier to protect the people behind him.
"Miss Lin was scratched by a snow wolf, the injury was not life-threatening, but the world is so impermanent and coincidental, among the snow wolves that scratched Miss Lin, one of them stabbed through the body of the poisonous person not long ago, and the minced meat left on the claws contained a large amount of poison, and Miss Lin was also hit by the seven evils."
Ziling gently closed her eyes, trying to suppress those feelings of compassion and sadness in her heart, but they were like invisible silk threads, entwined in her heart, making her unable to let go.
Ziling saw that the situation was serious, and he didn't dare to delay, so he told his master all the things about Yingchaocao. When Ziling took you to find the only remaining glowing grass, the master knew what was at stake, so he picked the glowing grass and fed it to Miss Lin without even thinking about it. At that time, Miss Lin was in a coma and couldn't swallow the glowing grass, and the master was worried that Ah Ying would take the glowing grass out of Miss Lin's mouth in order to save you, so he used his mouth to breathe and let Miss Lin swallow it little by little. However, it is precisely because of this that the poison in the master's body can be suppressed by drugs for so many years. ”
Since then, Ziling has understood that Miss Lin is far more important than everything in her master's heart, even more than his own life. It was also since then that Ziling Fang knew that there was such a true and pure feeling in this world, which could make people reckless and unrequited, even if they drank to quench their thirst, they were willing to do so.
Ziling silently swallowed the pain in his throat, and continued to recall: "The master is not at ease with the Huai Wang, and he is worried that there are still poisonous people in the mountains, and he is afraid that they will go down the mountain to harm the people. Ziling felt ashamed, so she followed you and Miss Lin to look for it, but fortunately, she finally met King Huai soon. From King Huai's mouth, he learned that he also encountered the poisonous man and the snow wolf, and entangled with them for a while before killing them all, but fortunately, he was only scratched by the snow wolf and scratched a few holes, and he was not injured by the poisonous man, nor was he poisoned by the seven evils. The master roughly told King Huai about the poison, but concealed the matter of Yingchaocao, and then entrusted Miss Lin to King Huai, asking him to take Miss Lin back to Beiluo Shimen to heal, and let him keep his mouth shut about the poisoner and your injury. Ziling still remembered that King Huai was silent for a long time, and then he didn't say anything, but only asked the master, if Miss Lin woke up and asked about you, how would you explain. You said, 'Then tell her that I left her behind and went back to Dongchen by myself.' ’”
Ziling's voice became more and more hoarse, with a slight imperceptible choking between her words, like a whimper from the depths of her soul, which made people feel sad.
Ziling didn't understand the helplessness and determination behind this sentence, at that time, the master knew that he had seven evils in his body, and he was afraid that time was running out, and he didn't want Miss Lin to live in self-blame and remorse for the rest of her life after learning what happened, so he wanted to make Miss Lin resent him, hate him, and even die to him, and wanted to use this to alleviate the impact and pain caused to Miss Lin after his death.
Ke Ziling still can't forget the light trembling between his lips and teeth and the clenched hands of his master at that time, the sorrow of life and death parting, was firmly pressed into the depths of his eyes by the master, and all the unwillingness, pain and despair were buried in that snowstorm.
Two lines of tears slipped silently from the corners of Ziling's eyes, she slowly opened her eyes, the guilt and remorse at the bottom of her eyes gathered into a river, and those heavy memories seemed to dye everything around her with a gloomy color.
"If it weren't for Ziling destroying a large amount of Glowing Grass back then, if Ziling hadn't awakened the poisonous man, if Ziling hadn't been lucky enough to intercede for his mother, why would the master and Miss Lin have come to such a field today?"
Seeing Ziling's expression tending to be painful, Su Jingqian, who had been listening silently, finally spoke slowly: "Ziling, I said, all this is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself." Back then, you only wanted to save your mother and clansmen, so you accidentally woke up the poisonous people, and then in order to prevent the poisonous people from harming the world, you watched us kill your mother and other clansmen, and even willing to tell me the news of the last glowing grass. ”
His voice was extremely flat, without a hint of blame or complaint, as if he was simply stating a fact.
"What's more, if you hadn't revealed the origin of the wizard clan and the Western Regions later, I'm afraid I wouldn't have laid it out so early. Over the years, you have been dormant in Xijing and the Western Regions, looking for and developing the antidote to the Seven Evils, and secretly exploring the wizarding clan hidden in Xijing. In the past few years, through your intelligence, the Tianshu Pavilion has assassinated many wizards and their minions. If it weren't for you, when the Wizard Clan's Poison Legion was formed, or if one of the four countries was controlled by the Wizard Clan, then what awaited us would be chaos in the world and the destruction of human lives. ”
