Chapter 13: The Past
The arrangement is clear.
Bi Hua inquired about his cultivation progress, solved some problems in his cultivation for him, and saw that it was not early, so he asked him to go back first.
"Go back first, you will leave soon, and you will be informed of the time and place of the rendezvous. ”
"Then don't disturb the peak master Qingxiu, Zhuge Jue retired. ”
Zhuge Jue returned to Luoxue Residence, and Zhuge Xuan was already standing at the door of his room waiting for him.
"It's snowing again, why don't you go in and wait for me, Xuan'er. ”
At dusk, fine and dense snowflakes floated down from the sky, even if Zhuge Xuan held an umbrella, his hair was stained with a lot of crystals.
I don't know how long she has been waiting here, although the Xiu Yanyu sent by the peak master has the effect of avoiding the cold and generating warmth, but standing in the snow for a long time will still be a little cold.
"It's just that while waiting for my brother, I can enjoy the snow, and since you're back, brother, let's go into the house." Zhuge Xuan saw that he was back, so he entered the door with him.
Zhuge Jue closed the door, carefully removed the jade ring hanging from his neck, put it into the storage bag, took out another spirit bead, and threw it into a groove in the wall of the room.
The various magic circles set up in each room are opened at the moment when the aura contained in the spirit bead is connected.
A pearl bloomed brightly overhead, the thermostatic circle adjusted the temperature in the room to warm and pleasant, and a pot of tea on the stove next to the bed gurgled and tumbled.
Zhuge Xuan shook off the snow foam on the umbrella surface, gathered the umbrella bones, rested them on the umbrella stand at the entrance, and sat down at the round table.
"My brother has been gone for so long, he should be hungry, I brought dinner back from the canteen, and there is your favorite dish. ”
She took out an ebony food box from the storage bag, and she opened the food box drawer, and took out several delicate dishes from it, as well as a snow-white crystal spiritual rice.
"Great, the canteen made snow bone pig again today. Zhuge Jue stared at the dishes with bright eyes, couldn't wait to clean his hands, filled himself and his sister with a bowl of rice, picked up chopsticks and prepared to start.
The pork is thinly sliced, and the sauce is poured over the fat and lean slices of meat, which invites the appetite to open the finger. The green sunflower is neatly placed in a white porcelain plate, only skimming the whole fire, maintaining the original freshness and deliciousness. A bowl of fresh soup is still steaming, the soup is clear, and there is no oil star.
These ingredients are all produced by the canteen itself, and they are rich in spiritual energy, which helps the disciples who are still low in cultivation and have not yet opened the valley to boil their bodies.
While picking up vegetables, Zhuge Xuan casually asked Zhuge Jue: "Brother, why did the peak master call you to Qingbi Peak." ”
Zhuge Jue gulped down a bowl of rice and smiled excitedly: "Xuan'er, I was just about to tell you." ”
"It turns out that although I am only a four-spirit root, as soon as I enter Jiuning Mountain, I will return to the outer gate, but in fact, I still have a special root bone, called Nanming Pure Fire Body, if it wasn't for the peak master to tell me today, I wouldn't know that I was extraordinary. ”
"Because the hidden qualifications when I entered the mountain gate were not detected, I am only a four-spirit root, and my cultivation is not slow, Xuan'er, your previous cultivation speed was not slower than mine, maybe you also have special qualifications, one day go and ask the peak master!"
"I see, I'm really happy for my brother!, but the peak master sent someone to summon you, is this just for this matter? ”
Seeing his brother so happy, Zhuge Xuan was also sincerely happy for him.
"By the way, there is one more thing, that is, the fairy gate Dabi that others in the school palace said before, the peak idea wanted me to accompany the ceremony, I originally wanted to give this place to Xuan'er you, but the peak master wanted me to help when the time came, so I had to leave my sister alone. Zhuge Jue said a little apologetically.
"You are only a mortal realm cultivator, how can the peak master have something to ask you to help? Do you also want to participate in the big competition?" Zhuge Xuan was puzzled.
"That's not it, the peak lord has taken a fancy to my fire spirit body and wants me to help her open a powerful ancient cave ruins. ”
For some reason, this word is familiar.
Zhuge Xuan fell into deep thought, remembering where he had heard it.
Zhuge Jue's words broke her contemplation, and she only heard the young man say in an excited voice:
"Coincidentally, the ruins of that cave are at the border of the North Cold Continent, on the top of the small Liang Mountain not far from our village, I also fell off the mountain when I was a child, but I didn't expect that the mountain looked unremarkable, and there was still a cave house with ancient powers!"
"But Xuan'er, you have to keep this secret, the peak master said that she is going to find out first and then report to the sect, and she can't tell outsiders in advance. ”
"Brother, are you sure it's the little Liangshan not far from our village?" Zhuge Xuan was taken aback.
"That's it, when the peak master said it, I wondered if that place was Xiaoliang Mountain? At that time, I could go back to the village to see, what do you have to say to me to take it back." ”
"Well, we'll talk about that then. ”
Zhuge Xuan lowered his head and ate silently, and the bangs on his forehead fell, covering the turbulent waves in his eyes.
She was no stranger to this place, and it just so happened that this place had some connection to their brother and sister.
This brings us to a long time ago.
Their mortal home is located at the junction of the Northern Cold Continent and the Luzhou Continent.
When he was a child, his brother was naughty, and often took her to sneak away from home to play, and once met a strange-looking Taoist priest outside.
When the strangely described Taoist priest saw his brother, he looked up to the sky and laughed, saying to himself that her brother was a fire spirit body, and that he could finally open the relics of Lieyangzi with the method of blood sacrifice.
She and her brother didn't know anything about the Immortal Cultivation Realm at that time, but they could also tell what the word blood sacrifice meant.
Just as he was about to escape, he was taken away by this Taoist priest and taken to a weedy and inconspicuous cave in Xiaoliang Mountain.
The Taoist priest tied Zhuge Xuan to the door of the cave, and cut a big bloody wound on Zhuge Jue's neck, regardless of Zhuge Jue, who was just a child, crying and struggling, and carried him into the cave.
Now that I think about it, I don't know if they have touched some prohibition, not long after the Taoist priest and Zhuge Jue entered the cave, Xiaoliang Mountain shook violently, and the rocks fell one after another, shaking the entire cave.
It was Zhuge Xuan who broke free from the ropes that bound her, went back to the village to find the adults, cleaned up the scattered rubble, and found Zhuge Jue, who was covered in blood and unconscious, and a charred corpse that was burned so that even his face was blurred.
From the only remaining clothes on the corpse, Zhuge Xuan could barely tell that the corpse was the strange Taoist priest who had captured his brother and himself.
Since this matter involved monks, their parents and several villagers in the village who came to help carefully inquired about the ins and outs of Zhuge Xuan's matter, and they were all frightened.
Mortals are like ants in front of the monks, and if there are monks who die here, and those who are there are not clear reasons, if there are other people behind the monk who pursue them, they will not escape death, and the whole village may be slaughtered because of the wrath of the immortals.
Therefore, they hurriedly found a hidden place to bury the corpse of the Taoist priest, and emphasized to Zhuge Xuan countless times that they should not publicize the matter.
Zhuge Jue later woke up, and he didn't know if he was hit on the head by a rocker when the cave collapsed, or if he was stimulated too hard and lost this memory.
The adults of the village did not tell him for the sake of secrecy, but lied to him that he was naughty and fell down from the mountain.
Fortunately, the Taoist priest may have opened this secret realm without telling others, and no monk came to their village to inquire about it, so this matter became a secret in the village that could not be mentioned, and gradually became dusty in the years.
The peak lord will also take his brother there. Listening to my brother's meaning, the sect doesn't know about this matter yet, and it also needs the body of the fire spirit to open that secret realm, could it be that the peak master will sacrifice his brother to open it like that Taoist priest?
She had always wondered why she favored their brother and sister with Bihua's status.
If it is said that from the first time he saw his brother, the peak lord saw his brother's physique and wanted to use him to open the cave mansion, so that the two of them were treated so favorably, then it makes sense.
Zhuge Xuan thought back to Bihua's past words and deeds with such thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
No, you can't let my brother go with the peak master.
However, this matter can't be said to my brother, my brother is simple-minded, with his respect for the peak master, even if he says it himself, he will only say that he is too worried.
I have to think of a way as soon as possible.
