Chapter 10 Ancient Rare Customs
"Recently, thank you Senior Brother Jingmo for your advice, if it weren't for Senior Brother Jingmo, I wouldn't be better than Senior Brother Huidi. "It's rare that Su Tianqing and Jingmo walked side by side.
Jing Mo, who has always been well-spoken and gentle, was a little shy at the moment, and said: "Senior Sister Su's cultivation is so deep, she is really the leader of the younger generation of my Qingyu Pavilion, I should learn more from you." ”
The two walked like this, and they couldn't find words, and they felt a little embarrassed for a while.
"Senior Brother Jingmo, your ...... of leaving the fire" Su Tianqing knew that his fire control technique was only at the green fire stage, and the fire leaving phoenix in today's competition was secretly helped, not called by her, but before her words fell, she heard Jingmo ouch, and subconsciously reached out to grab him.
Jingmo also subconsciously grabbed Su Tianqing, and when he looked at it, it turned out that there was a pit in the ground, and his right foot was buried in the snow.
Two cold hands, just clasped together.
Looking at each other, Su Tianqing's face was a touch of crimson.
Jingmo coughed dryly and stood up.
"Hey, Senior Brother Du. Jingmo looked at Su Tianqing's back and greeted him with a smile.
Su Tianqing turned his head and saw Du Luozhi with a sluggish face, chewing slowly with his mouth, holding a half-eaten apple in one hand and an intact apple in the other.
Su Tian panicked and quickly withdrew his hand.
"Senior Brother Du, I heard that you vomited blood today, but is there anything uncomfortable?"
Du Luozhi frowned and did not speak.
"Senior Brother Du, you ......" Su Tianqing wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words for a while.
Du Luozhi's face turned red suddenly, a mouthful of blood spit out, covered his chest, and slowly knelt in the snow.
The blood beads fell on the snow and bloomed into red enchanting flowers.
"Fall. Su Tianqing hurriedly ran over to help him, and when he touched his hand, he was so hot that he retracted his hand.
"You go and tell Uncle Du, I'll give him luck. "Jingmo came over to help Luozhi.
Du Luozhi's face was already red and purple, and blood kept dripping down the corners of his mouth, he shook off Jingmo's hand and said coldly: "Don't worry about it." ”
"Senior Brother ......"
Duluo's hand pinched the water trick, pointed at Jingmo, and the snow condensed into ice and climbed onto the latter's body, freezing to his waist.
"Senior Brother Du, what are you going to do?"
"I don't want you to care. Du Luozhi clutched his chest and reluctantly stood up, and walked away with three shakes.
"Jingmo, Jingmo!" Du Luozhi's face was hideous, and his palms struck out, and the water in the pool exploded, flying seven or eight feet high.
Du Luozhi's face twitched, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound out of nowhere, endlessly, like the sound of some stone door opening, a figure suddenly appeared, grabbed Du Luozhi, slapped a few palms on him, and finally raised his hand to point at his forehead.
"Luo'er!" the visitor snorted, and his eyes widened in surprise.
In front of her was a short, chubby, smiling grandmother with white hair, holding a slender crutch taller than her.
"Mother-in-law?" Du Luozhi came to his senses, looked at Gu Xi, and immediately went up to hug her.
"Luo'er has grown taller, you were not as tall as your mother-in-law when she didn't retreat two years ago, and now there are so many mother-in-law Gao. Gu Xi touched Du Luozhi's head, with a loving face, "Luo'er almost went crazy just now, is it because she is practicing too hard?"
Du Luozhi's mood suddenly fell, and said: "Mother-in-law, I don't understand, although I am not a genius, but I am not stupid, I have been practicing diligently to achieve what I am today, but why did my mother-in-law and several uncles ask me to hide myself, pretending to be a naughty teenager who doesn't know anything, and I am ridiculed, I am obviously better than Jingmo, but everyone thinks that Jingmo is the first to look at it, and I am just a joke in their eyes." ”
"It turned out that because of this, when you were young, my mother-in-law was afraid that you wouldn't understand, so I didn't tell you, so I'll tell you today. Gu Xi pulled Du Luozhi to sit down, and the old voice began to tell the story of many years ago.
"A hundred years ago, Lan Feibing, the last generation of the Lan Fei family, passed away, leaving behind a gift bag, according to legend, there is an elixir and a resurrection pill in the gift bag, which led to the competition of the world, by chance, the gift bag fell into my hands, my senior sister fell out with me for the gift bag, and has been away for a long time, I am always afraid that the news of the gift bag in the Qingyu Pavilion will spread, causing various sects to snatch it, which will bring ruin to the Qingyu Pavilion. So in your father's generation, I came up with a way to let Huaili pretend to be a stubborn child, if the secret is leaked one day, I will inform the people of Shenzhou that Xu Huaili betrayed Qingyu Pavilion and escaped with the bag, because a stupid disciple was ridiculed and wanted to steal the things in the bag, the motive was greater, and it was more believable, and others thought that it was a sloppy person who stole the bag, and the person sent to chase and kill was not too strong at first, Huaili had the ability to deal with it, and we also had the opportunity to arrange for him to escape. Now that they're old, it's up to you to do that."
Du Luozhi couldn't understand Gu Xi's words, his eyes were full of confusion, and he said, "Then why did you choose me? That means that if something happens, I will be charged with betraying Qingyu Pavilion?"
"I chose you because you are the son of Huaiyi, unlike the ordinary disciples who have entered the sect, this is your home, and you care more about the safety of Qingyu Pavilion than they do. ”
"No, how could you pick on me. Du Luozhi shook his head incredulously, "How could you choose me, why did you want me to be a traitor?" I care about Qingyu Pavilion, but I don't want to betray Qingyu Pavilion. ”
"Luo'er, do you know why you have such a high cultivation at a young age, when you were young, your father and mother and the three uncles took turns to wash your muscles, and now I'm afraid that even the Hui Di of Huayin Luozong is not your opponent. There are gains and losses, and if you get such a strong skill, you naturally have to bear the responsibility you should bear. ”
"But ......"
"Luo'er, you think to yourself, your father and mother and the three uncles, they fight with you, even if you can't beat the enemy, it's a tie, they have practiced for decades to have such a cultivation, and you, only fifteen. Huaili didn't want to take this responsibility back then, but isn't it safe and sound now? Things don't necessarily happen, and this arrangement is just to be prepared, can't you still think about it?"
As soon as he said this, Du Luozhi figured it out and said, "Mother-in-law, why don't you take the magic medicine, so you don't have to be afraid." ”
"I opened the bag, and there was no medicine in it at all, nothing but a medical book, and the font of the medical book was complicated, different from what we write now, and I don't know exactly what is recorded in the medical book. ”
"I was going to be a traitor to protect a medical book I couldn't read. ”
Gu Xi pulled Du Luozhi to sit on the stone table and said, "Luo'er, look at you, you still can't see it." ”
"I can see it, I can see it. ”
Gu Xi hooked Du Luozhi's shoulder and said, "I think you've been quite bored on the mountain all these years, I want to think about if there is anything I can give you to go down the mountain to do recently, and let you go out to play." ”
"Mother-in-law, you want to let me go down the mountain, didn't you say that I can't go down the mountain?" Du Luozhi was a little surprised, because he had a special status, and it was okay to make a fuss on the mountain, but he was never allowed to be put down the mountain.
"What's strange, you're still a child, it's harmless to play, the Quartet Test should be coming soon, I'll let you go down the mountain to play when the Quartet Test is over." ”
"Mother-in-law, you are confused, the last competition of the Quartet has ended, Su Tianqing, who is under Uncle Wushi, won the first place, Huidi of Huayin Luozong is second, and Senior Brother Jingmo is third. ”
"It's over? Could it be that I miscalculated the day? Jing Mo must have lost to Hui Di, this Su Tianqing should be a disciple of the same age as you, I don't have any impression. Lao Wu taught such a powerful disciple, which is really outstanding. ”
"Mother-in-law, you haven't seen Senior Sister Su, she has a very beautiful appearance and an excellent temperament, and she is a woman who does not touch the fireworks of the world. ”
Gu Xi nodded with a smile and said, "Looking at your peach blossom appearance, I can probably think of her appearance." ”
"Senior sister, why did you have a sad face after winning the competition today?" Since Su Tianqing returned to the room, she didn't come out again, and she didn't speak again, and Qingxuan didn't know what was wrong with her.
"Senior sister, I seem to be in love with Senior Brother Jingmo and Senior Brother Du at the same time, and I don't want to hurt either of them. ”
"How could it be...... Senior sister, is that masked man really Senior Brother Jingmo?"
"Phantom Fire, the eighth form of the Broken Water Sword Technique, except for Senior Brother Jingmo, no one has made it out. ”
"That's right, but the two of them, junior sister, you have to make a decision, this kind of thing can't be delayed. ”
"Both of them treated me very well, and I didn't want to hurt either of them, but I didn't know what to choose. ”
Qingxuan groaned and said: "Senior Brother Jingmo is mature and steady, Senior Brother Du is humorous and funny, I appreciate Senior Brother Du very much, but in my opinion, he is young after all, and the love and hate in his mouth may be just juvenile affection, and it is difficult to stay together." Senior Brother Jingmo's cultivation is profound, and he may be able to protect you for a lifetime, but he is too gentle and elegant, and his life will be boring in the future. Both of them have their own goodness, and in the end it depends on what you think in your heart. ”
"I just don't know what's going on in my heart, I feel like I'm in a mess, in order not to hurt them, should I not see anyone until I think clearly?"
The next day, Cangyun Palace.
Gu Xi sat at the top, the five elders were separated below, and behind him were the disciples of his own sect, all the way to the outside of the Cangyun Palace.
"I was out of the customs yesterday, thinking that it was going to be late, so I didn't tell you, but the results of the Quartet test were told to me, Old Five, you taught well. ”
Wu Huaixin smiled a flower on his face, and said modestly: "I don't dare to be, it is because of my talent and intelligence, and I have studied hard to achieve what I am today." ”
Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone is very good, I have been in retreat for two years, what is the matter in the door?"
"Back to the Pavilion Master, several elders have managed the Qingyu Pavilion in an orderly manner, and everything is fine. ”
"That's good, I'm relieved to have you in charge. I calculated the time yesterday, the old owner of the curtain water villa is my old friend, he should be one hundred and thirty birthday next month, I am too old to trek, I can only ask a few disciples to help me congratulate, these days are ready to set off. ”
