Chapter 52 Gift Order
And Xiao Mo already knew everything about the rest of the matter.
Because of his granddaughter Yu Qingyao's illness, Yu Baichuan mortgaged this family heirloom Baoding, but the time limit was only half a month, if after half a month, he could not raise enough money to pay off his debts, he had to hand over his family heirloom Baoding.
Seeing that the time is getting closer and closer, the granddaughter's illness is still not improving, and he is unable to repay the huge IOU written by the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce, and he is about to give away the family treasure.
Yu Baichuan was angry and hurt, coupled with the fact that he was old and frail, he had been running for his granddaughter all his life, and he had only one breath left to support him, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore.
In a state of guilt and despair, on a stormy night, the old man Yu Baichuan died in a hurry, leaving only his granddaughter Yu Qingyao, who was stubbornly ill, and the coveted Baoding.
Seeing that the biggest obstacle is no longer there, although the time has not yet come, the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce has already begun to seek to seize the Xuanhuo Ding left in Yu Qingyao's hand.
They first planned to persuade each other with good words and exchange the deposit slip, but they didn't expect that although Yu Qingyao was frail and sickly since he was a child and had a weak personality, he refused to let go of his grandfather's relics.
The Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce was helpless, so he was ruthless, sent a slave to rob him, and beat Yu Qingyao to vomit blood and faint, and happened to meet Xiao Mo and was rescued by him.
This story is not complicated, and even in the entire Heart Saint Continent, it may happen all the time, with a heavy treasure and no power to protect it, and finally end up ruining the family, how many things?
So after listening to Yu Qingyao's narration, Xiao Mo was not surprised, and even as early as the beginning, when the scene happened downstairs in the inn, he guessed the cause and effect of the matter. Now it sounds like it's just confirming my guess.
As a magical world of mind cultivation, this place continues the rules of thousands of years ago, when the Heavenly Saint Continent preyed on the weak and chased power. No matter who it is, it is a very unfortunate thing to have a treasure but no strength to match it.
Yu Qingyao was fortunate to meet him, but he was just a down-and-out disciple who had fled abroad, in front of such a behemoth as the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce, what was he?
If they find it, with their own strength, it will be difficult to fight, and there is only one way to be crushed, right?
However, Xiao Mo did not regret it, the eldest husband walked in the world, some things should be done and some things should not be done, seeing the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce bullying a weak girl like this, even if he could not protect himself, he still couldn't help but stand up.
Moreover, Xiao Mo is not without a solution.
As long as the seven-day period arrives, the trial of entering the palace of the Daoist Palace begins, and once he enters the Daoist Palace, he will be able to have the identity of a disciple of the outer courtyard of the Daoist Palace.
When the time comes, with such an identity, no matter how huge and powerful the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce is, it will not dare to enter the Academy Palace to arrest people.
After all, the School Palace is the largest and most powerful force organization in this world, and the Daoist Palace is the first School Palace in Lingzhou, and it is also the first of all forces in Lingzhou.
In front of the Daoist Palace, even the other three Great Palaces could only barely compete, let alone a mere Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce. In front of the Zhidao Palace, it was just a slightly larger reptile.
This is the advantage of having a powerful background, otherwise, there would not be so many people who have sharpened their heads and want to drill into the palace of the four universities in Lingzhou.
However, if he enters the Zhidao Academy, he can certainly avoid the arrest of the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce, but when the time comes, what should Yu Qingyao, a girl who is seriously ill, do?
Leave her alone outside, even if she hides here, it is estimated that she will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce. After all, just because they can't find it for a while doesn't mean they can't find it all the time.
Lingwu City is such a big place, and the power of the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce is very huge, Yu Qingyao always has to come out to buy some food and use, even if he is cautious, after a long time, he can always be caught by them and find here.
The most important thing is that Yu Qingyao has not the slightest power to protect himself.
At that time, Xiao Mo's original intervention only delayed the occurrence of the tragedy, on the contrary, because of Xiao Mo's intervention, the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce hated the two of them to the core, and when the time came, it might retaliate against the two even more crazily.
Xiao Mo is not afraid to enter the Daoist Palace, but Yu Qingyao may have been able to save his life, but this time he is afraid that even his life will be difficult to protect.
Perhaps, there is another solution, but it also depends on Yu Qingyao's own wishes.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo's eyes moved, and he asked Yu Qingyao: "Miss Yu, the day after tomorrow is the time for the entrance to the Daoxue Palace to open the trial, Xiao came to Lingwu City this time, in order to participate in the palace entry trial of the Daoxue Palace, he joined the Daoxue Palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect Miss Yu anymore, I don't know what Miss Yu's plans are next?"
After speaking, he stared at Yu Qingyao quietly, waiting for her answer.
When Yu Qingyao heard this, his face first showed a look of surprise, and then he couldn't help but bring a trace of sadness and melancholy.
She lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, you go, don't worry about me." In fact, Qingyao has been suffering from serious illnesses since he was a child, and he didn't plan to live for many years, but all these years, my grandfather has worked hard to renew my life, and I can persist until today, and I have earned it!"
Speaking of this, she raised her head, there were obvious tears on her face, but she forced a smile: "Originally, Qingyao still had her grandfather by her side, although life was hard, she was not alone. But now, even grandpa is gone, and Qingyao actually has nothing to be nostalgic for. ”
After a pause, her gaze fell on Xiao Mo's face, with a trace of strange tenderness and a trace of imperceptible reluctance, but after all, she still said it: "Even if you die, Qingyao has nothing to complain about, I am content to live to this day." The only regret may be that after only meeting Brother Xiao for a few days, he will be separated again!"
Speaking of the back, her voice became lower and lower, but then she became firm again, raised her head, looked at Xiao Mo and said: "Brother Xiao is the dragon and phoenix among people, sooner or later, he will fly for nine days and join the Taoist Palace, which can also save the trouble of the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce, and Qingyao will also rejoice for Brother Xiao." Brother Xiao goes, if Qingyao is lucky not to die, maybe one day, we will meet again. ”
Xiao Mo frowned slightly, Yu Qingyao's words were not unexpected by him, his parents died, he was suffering from strange diseases, and now even the only support, his grandfather died for himself, Yu Qingyao was not surprised.
However, this was not the answer he wanted.
His voice sank, and he looked at Yu Qingyao's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The answers I want are not these, I just want to ask you, if you are given a chance to join the Daoist Palace with me, are you willing?"
"What?"
Yu Qingyao's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Xiao Mo without blinking, suspecting that he had made a mistake in his ear.
She looked at Xiao Mo with a strange look in her eyes, but soon, this look dimmed again.
She lowered her head again and said, "Brother Xiao Mo laughed...... With Xiao Mo's brother's cultivation, it should be no problem to join the Daoist Palace, but Qingyao is just a mortal who has just learned how to cultivate and has not even reached the third-level realm, how can he pass the trial of entering the Daoist Palace, Brother Xiao Mo doesn't need to comfort me, Qingyao knew the destiny of heaven early, although he has regrets, he has no regrets. ”
However, Xiao Mo just said resolutely and stubbornly: "I don't ask you if you can do it, I just ask you, do you want to do it or not?"
Seeing that Yu Qingyao was still bowing his head, as if he had succumbed to fate, and was at peace with what he encountered, without any vitality, his voice couldn't help but take on a hint of fierceness: "If you say you don't want to, everything is not tied, if you dare to face your heart and answer me, do you want or don't you want to?"
"This ......"
Yu Qingyao couldn't help but raise his head again, feeling the seriousness in Xiao Mo's words, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart: "Could it be that he really has a way to let himself join the Daoxue Palace?"
Even the minimum threshold for training disciples in the Zhidao Palace is a heavy in the Easy Realm, although she has little to do, she still knows a little, she is a person who has no cultivation foundation, and she can't even reach the threshold, how can she become a disciple of the Zhidao Palace?
However, although she knew that this was impossible, for some reason, she could always experience a trustworthy aura from Xiao Mo, and after hesitating for a while, she finally couldn't help gritting her teeth, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After speaking, she couldn't help but bow her head shyly and said softly: "Actually, a long time ago, I knew that I was terminally ill, watching my parents go up the mountain to collect medicine for me, running around all day long, watching my grandfather study prescriptions for me, exhausted, getting old, Qing'er's heart was very painful. ”
"At that time, I had a dream, if I could return to a normal body, if I could understand some medical prescriptions, maybe, my grandfather would not have to work so hard, and my parents would not die. Therefore, my wish since I was a child is to become an alchemist, not to be able to achieve much success, but to be able to share a little for them, just ...... It's still too late!"
At this point, her eyes grew red and her voice grew weaker, apparently thinking of her parents who had accidentally fallen off a cliff in order to collect medicine for her, and that her grandfather had overworked to save her and eventually died prematurely.
Xiao Mo listened to her words and couldn't help but finally laugh.
He seemed to have made up his mind, and without hesitation, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a strange token suddenly appeared in his palm, handed it to Yu Qingyao and said, "Miss Yu, look, what is this?"
Yu Qingyao heard him say solemnly, and couldn't help but look up suspiciously, only to see that this was a dragon pattern token with a pitch-black body and a 'Dao' character engraved on the back, and she asked suspiciously: "What is this?"
Xiao Mo said: "This is the Supreme Dao Dragon Pattern Order, holding this order can allow you to directly become a disciple of the outer courtyard of the Supreme Dao Palace without going through the assessment." ”
"Ah, you mean?"
Yu Qingyao looked at the black token in Xiao Mo's hand with a surprised expression, his eyes widened, and he said with a small mouth.
Xiao Mo said: "Yes, this means that as long as you are willing, hold this token, and appear in the trial of the Heavenly Dao Palace the day after tomorrow, you can directly become a disciple of the outer court of the Supreme Daoist Palace, and you will be absolutely admitted without even taking the assessment, surpassing the countless disciples of the Easy Realm who participated in the trial." ”
Yu Qingyao was overjoyed at first, but then he thought of something, and said with some hesitation: "But, Brother Xiao, you gave me the token, what about you?"
Although she knew that the quota for joining the Daoist Palace was precious, she was unwilling to give away Xiao Mo's opportunity because of this.
When Xiao Mo heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own way, join the Academy Palace with you, accept it!"
Seeing this, Yu Qingyao glanced at him suspiciously, and saw that he was determined, not as if he was a fake, nor as if he would deceive himself, so he hesitated, took the token, and put it in the palm of his hand to watch.
And Xiao Mo, looking at the rare smile on her face, couldn't help but exhale slightly in her heart, and she didn't regret her behavior.
Although Xiao Mo gave up the opportunity to join the Dao Palace directly, he could still use his strength to participate in the palace trial, and he still had the opportunity to join the Dao Palace.
However, Xiao Mo also knew that the entrance trial to the Daoist Palace was very strict, and he could not guarantee 100% passing, that is to say, he gave Yu Qingyao the remedial opportunity given to him by the old man.
Of course, this will definitely allow Yu Qingyao to join the Daoist Palace as he wishes, but he may lose the election.
It's just that he pressed this matter in his heart and planned never to say it.
And Yu Qingyao, although she understands the preciousness of the Dao Dragon Pattern Order, she doesn't know that Xiao Mo gave her the absolute opportunity to enter the School Palace, if she knows the truth, I am afraid that she will never accept this token.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is two days later.
In the past two days, the people from the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce have not come to the door, obviously this abandoned garden is still quite capable of hiding people.
And two days later, Xiao Mo took Yu Qingyao, who was mostly healed from his injuries, left the abandoned garden, bought an ordinary outfit in a street cloth shop, changed his image, and then avoided the eyeliner arrangement of the Heavenly Medicine Chamber of Commerce, followed the flow of people, and headed towards the Taoist Palace.
And the trial of entering the Taoist Palace will also officially start today!
