Chapter 261: Lack of Heart and Emotion
Sure enough, the ensuing story took a sharp turn for the worse.
After the left father and the left mother were together, they soon had the crystallization of love, and when they saw their beloved wife pregnant, the left father was overjoyed, one was worried that if he continued to stay in the cultivation world, it would affect his wife and the fetus in his wife's womb, and the other was also several years of fighting and conspiracy, he was really tired, so he simply took his left mother and lived in seclusion in a beautiful place.
In that place, there are many tall and beautiful plane trees, and every summer, a large number of plane trees bloom, and the fragrance hits people, and it is called Xiutong Valley by local mountain farmers.
Ten months later, Zuo Xiutong was born, which happened to be the season when the sycamore flowers bloomed, so Zuo's father named her, Zuo Xiutong, to commemorate the good times the two had together.
But the brutal truth is just the beginning.
After the left father and the left mother lived in seclusion, they did live a happy life for a year or two, no one bothered, the left mother was deliberately close to the left father, plotting against the wrong, but after all, she slowly fell in love with the left father's chivalrous and gentle heart, gentle and careful, and knew that he was not as evil as outsiders said, cruel and vicious.
So, the two sincerely promised each other, raised their eyebrows, and Zuo Xiutong also grew up slowly in such an environment, smart and beautiful since childhood, which is difficult for anyone to match, which makes Zuo's father and mother feel very relieved.
But one day, those people found this valley, found Zuo's mother, and they secretly handed her a packet of poison and asked her to go down in the medicine pool that Zuo's father usually used to bathe.
Zuo's mother was unwilling, but those people cut off two fingers of her parents and sent them to Zuo's mother, and even threatened to bury her whole family if Zuo's mother did not act within a month.
Zuo's mother was helpless, and finally, she was ruthless and sprinkled the poison in the medicine pool that Zuo's father used to soak in the soup.
That night, the blood-stained medicine pool, Zuo's father howled frantically in the medicine pool, screaming in pain, and those wicked people also arrived, laughed when they saw this, and besieged together.
The left father was crazy, in order to protect his beloved wife and young daughter, he fled, with dozens of palms in his body, countless knife wounds and sword wounds, and finally fell to the ground, and the whole person became a bloody person.
Seeing that Zuo's father was about to die in Huangquan, and the starlight dragon rope would also be snatched away, at this moment, a person arrived, killed those people, and saved Zuo's father's family.
This person is now, Zuo Xiutong's master, Zhong Li Danshi, Zhong Lishan.
It turned out that when the Holy Dragon Tomb was born, Zhongli Danshi coincided with its meeting. At that time, he was just an ordinary outer court disciple of the Daoist Palace, he loved to study medicine, and when he heard the news of the birth of the Holy Dragon Tomb, he formed a team with several fellow disciples to explore the opportunity.
However, the opportunity arose, but the crisis followed.
Zhongli Danshi and his party of five entered the Holy Dragon Tomb, and their luck was very good, and they actually found two light gold ancient scrolls, because the two light gold ancient scrolls were sealed at that time, and no one knew the contents, but everyone knew that there was nothing ordinary in the Holy Dragon Tomb, let alone the light gold ancient scrolls that were so treasured.
You don't have to think about it, you know that it must be a treasure.
However, there are only two scrolls, but there are five people, how can they be divided?
Zhongli Danshi was kind-hearted and proposed that everyone save it together and enlighten it together, but some people were not greedy enough and wanted to occupy it alone, so an infighting began.
Zhongli Dan's cultivation was the lowest, and he was not good at combat skills, so he soon fell behind, and he was about to be killed first.
At this moment, a person came out of the sky, and it was the Zuolan Pavilion that wanted to leave the ancient tomb after getting the Starlight Dragon Rope.
When he saw this, he was filled with righteous indignation, brandished the Starlight Dragon Rope, killed the other four, and saved Zhongli Danshi.
Zhongli Danshi survived, and he was naturally very grateful to his life-saving benefactor Zuo Lanting, the two of them carried two light gold ancient scrolls and left the Holy Dragon Tomb, Zhongli Danshi only left one of them in order to repay his life-saving grace, and wanted to send the other volume to Zuo Lanting.
But Zuo Lanting didn't accept it, but Zhongli Danshi insisted on sending it, and in desperation, the two sealed the light gold ancient scroll somewhere, and agreed that if there is a fate in the future, whoever encounters a crisis and another person rescues him, he can get this ancient scroll and unseal it.
After making this demonic oath, the two of them went their separate ways.
A few years later, with the pale gold scroll in his hand, Zhongli Danshi emerged in the Zhidao Palace and became a senior alchemist of Danwu dual cultivation, but his left father Zuo Lanting was besieged and killed and dying in Xiutong Valley.
After Zhongli Danshi became a senior alchemist, he had become an inner elder, with a high position and power, and he had been ordering people to secretly pay attention to all the news of Zuo Lan Pavilion. After knowing that he was in danger, he immediately rushed to the rescue, but after all, he was one step too late, and only saved his mother and the two-year-old Zuo Xiutong.
When he was dying, Zuo Lanting begged Zhongli Danshi to take care of his wife and daughter for him, and at the same time gave the ownership of the pale gold scroll back to Zhongli Danshi, leaving this last word, Zuo's father died suddenly.
Zhongli Danshi was about to take Zuo's mother and Zuo Xiutong back to the Taoist Palace, however, no one expected that seeing that her daughter had something to rely on, Zuo's mother let go of all the worries in her heart, and suddenly took advantage of Zhongli Danshi's unpreparedness and killed herself.
She personally poisoned her husband who loved each other, and her parents, just now, were beheaded by those untrustworthy and discredited villains, just to stimulate Zuo Lanting and reduce his combat effectiveness.
Witnessing such a tragic change, she had already collapsed, and did not kill herself immediately, but she was still concerned about her daughter Zuo Xiutong, seeing that her daughter had a place to return, Zuo's mother no longer had the face to face the heaven and earth, and a knife was inserted into the heart, and the gods were difficult to save.
Seeing this scene, Zhongli Danshi shook his head and sighed, and finally buried his father and mother together, and took Zuo Xiutong, who was only two years old, back to the Taoist Palace, and raised her as a master and father.
However, for more than ten years, because of the tragic changes in Xiutong Valley more than ten years ago, Zuo Xiutong actually witnessed his mother poisoning his father, and his father's skin was cracked in the medicine pool, covered in blood, and he wailed in pain...... Then the tragedy reappeared, the wicked besieged, the father died in a bloody battle to save them, and the mother then killed herself.
Zuo Xiutong was very young, and her heart was hit hard, so she became a withdrawn, autistic, ruthless and emotionless freak, that is, Chen Jingnu called her in Qingfeng Courtyard that day, the origin of the five words 'lack of heart and emotion'.
The so-called lack of heart and emotion actually refers to the innate lack of feelings, which can also be called emotional apathy.
These people are naturally difficult to have emotions, it is usually difficult to cry or laugh because of something, they are extremely indifferent to others, they can't feel any emotions, as if the world is separated from her by a distance, and they have no ability to love and be loved.
For them, the world seems to be a drama, a cutscene.
They don't know how to express their feelings, so in the end they become as if they don't have any feelings, wood, although they live like normal people, but they keep a distance from everyone, and they hardly feel anything about things that can make others laugh or cry, which is lack of heart and emotion.
If there's one word to put it in line, it's – The Walking Dead.
Before Xiao Mo appeared, Zuo Xiutong was such a person, in Qingfeng Courtyard for more than ten years, almost no one had seen her cry or laugh, the tragic change in Xiutong Valley more than ten years ago caused an incurable wound to her soul.
Until Xiao Mo appeared, first in Qingfeng Courtyard, he was involved in danger, inserted into the battle between her and Jing Qianxing and others, and then pounced on her in the ice lake cave to save her life......
Unconsciously, her heart seemed to open up a little and become a little different.
Hearing this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned, and somewhat understood.
He never knew that there were still strange symptoms of lack of heart and emotion in the world, but after knowing it, he secretly wondered that it stands to reason that such a person will hardly change in his life, unless he ......
Xiao Mo thought of something, but his heart couldn't help but move.
Zuo Xiutong's lack of heart and emotion disorder is actually not born, but acquired. Because when she was too young, she witnessed the great changes in her family, so she was emotionally closed, not without emotion, but subconsciously unwilling to believe in emotion.
If someone can make her feel safe and lean, this kind of occlusion may be recoverable, which is also the reason why Zuo Xiutong at this time gave him a completely different feeling.
Although I don't know if this is good or bad, Xiao Mo would still rather see Zuo Xiutong like this than the Dandao girl who was indifferent and isolated from everything before.
He felt pity in his heart, he thought that his fate was tragic enough, and he came to this world inexplicably, and then he became a half-known waste, and then his parents died, his family was cold, and he was lonely, and finally he wanted to use his life as a scapegoat, just to save the reputation of a genius disciple.
But now it seems that Zuo Xiutong's fate is even more tragic than him, his father was actually poisoned to death by his mother, and then his father died in battle, and his mother killed herself in front of her.
This made him make up his mind, perhaps, he could try to slowly change her nature in the future, and in the end, let her symptoms of heart and emotion completely disappear, and finally become an existence like ordinary people, with blood and tears.
Perhaps, this is also something to be proud of, and proud of!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo nodded, glanced at Zuo Xiutong next to him, and secretly made a decision.
ps: Back to Fuzhou, starting tomorrow, officially make up!
