Chapter 171: Tonight and Night
Ding Xing saw Du holding his sleeves at the entrance of the cave, looking at himself attentively, vaguely aware of the reason why she didn't ask him about He Xijing, and wondered if she had misunderstood her identity?
Du Wansleeve met his gaze, realized the rudeness, and said: "Seniors forgive sins." ’
Quickly lowered his head and turned around and went to the secret room.
After closing the door of the cave, Du took out a picture scroll, and after unfolding it, the scroll showed a pair of men and women sitting cross-legged in the ice room, stroking the qin and looking at each other.
The female nun in the painting is her mother Du Yingniang, and the male nun she has never seen, presumably the monk her mother fell in love with in the past, and it is very likely that she is her biological father.
When Du Yingniang was alive, she had never seen this painting, after Du Yingniang died, she sorted out the relics, and when she saw the man in the painting, she knew that she, the mother Du Yingniang, who had always been grim and ruthless, actually had a person who was haunted by her dreams.
She felt incredible at the time, she was twenty-eight this year, and she had been with Du Yingniang since she could remember, although she called her mother, she had never seen a loving smile on her mother's face, and she only got cold reprimands and harsh scolding from her mother, and she had not experienced any warmth of family affection.
This made her suspect more than once that she was Du Yingniang's adopted daughter, but ......
She reached out to her chin and unveiled a thin silk veil from her face, revealing a new and beautiful face, this is her true appearance, she compared it with the men and women in the painting many times, and found that she inherited Du Yingniang's delicate and fair facial features, but also inherited the bright and soft eyes of the male cultivator.
Her temperament is simple and elegant, and she does not have the fierce aura of Du Yingniang.
Even if she deliberately shows indifference and ruthlessness, outsiders still can't feel her too aggressive when they see her, and this innate trait must be related to male cultivation.
When Du Yingniang saw this picture scroll and saw the appearance of the male cultivator, she guessed that this was her father.
But who is her father's surname, she doesn't know, Du Yingniang has never told her about the situation of the male cultivator in the painting, she only from the inscription on the painting 'Tonight and night, go to Cangxia again', guessing that the male cultivator is a monk of the Cangxia faction, and the male cultivator may be tonight, or maybe it is He Xi.
But it doesn't matter.
She had no interest in inquiring.
Because she suspected that her mother Du Yingniang left this picture scroll, it was not out of longing at all, let alone dreaming of the man in the painting, but worried that she would die one day, causing her to never know her life experience, so she left a painting for her.
According to her understanding of Du Yingniang, giving birth to her in the past should not be Du Yingniang's wishful thinking, it is very likely to be an accident, Du Yingniang and the male cultivator must not have a deep relationship.
Besides, they haven't seen each other again for thirty years, and the relationship has long been broken, which is equivalent to a stranger.
Du Wansleeve would rather forget than pursue it.
These days, she has always suspected that Ding Xing is the male cultivator in the painting, but Ding Xing has already shown his true face, and there is no resemblance to the male cultivator in the painting, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
At the moment, I collected the scroll, cleaned up the secret room, and began to retreat without distractions.
She took out the futon, sat down, and placed six wine jars in front of her, which were the flower porridge wine collected by her mother Du Yingniang in Mohe.
In fact, as early as four or five years ago, she already had the first jar of spiritual wine, and she wanted to drink it at that time, but her mother was exploring the iceberg almost day and night in order to find an opportunity to get married, and she was stationed alone in the Mohe Cave Mansion, because the demon cultivators from all over the country flocked to her, she didn't have the slightest idea of practicing at all, and she was on guard against external harassment all day long.
It was postponed again and again, and it was not until today that there was an opportunity for retreat.
With Ding Xing outside to protect the Fa for her, she had no hidden worries in her heart, she had completely let down her vigilance and concentrated on drinking and rushing to the level.
Although she had only been in contact with Ding Xing for a short time, she was deeply aware that Ding Xing was by no means a bully, but was willing to risk his life for a trivial promise.
What Ding Xing did, she thought she couldn't do it, but she had clear grievances.
When I build a Xuan Fetus, I will definitely repay this affection, and I will never fail his Dharma protector today. ’
Thinking of this, she opened the wine jar, raised her head and drank, then put her hands on her lap and gradually closed her eyes.
She acted sharply and decisively, and she was also brave and diligent in rushing through the level, and it only took two months for her to forcibly break through the moat in the Qi training period, and she entered the realm of the Xuanfetal Period.
She built a Xuan fetus at the age of twenty-eight, and so did Ding Xing, which is a coincidence between the two.
After the success of the rush, Du Wansleeve felt an irrepressible emotion in her heart, she was eager to share this joy with Ding Xing, she herself felt strange, when she lived with her mother before, every breakthrough in cultivation, she was never happy, but relieved not to be scolded by her mother.
She pushed open the door and was greeted by a strong smell of alcohol.
At this time, the hall of the underground palace was in a mess, the ground was scattered with broken bottles and cans, and a short white-skinned demon was lying on his back between the bottles and cans, sleeping soundly.
At the entrance of the palace, Qingfeng and the eagle demon lie on both sides on the left and right, and the door is like a god, guarding the forbidden brake that blocks the palace entrance.
The two demons heard the sound of the door opening, and saw Du Bang Sleeve appear, and immediately straightened up and looked, they had seen Du Bang Sleeve two months ago, and knew that she was Ding Xing's acquaintance, and then fell down again, no longer paying attention to her.
The lighting stone is still set on the stone wall, the underground palace is bright, Du pulled up his sleeves and felt that the environment was too dirty, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to tidy up.
As a result, he took two steps, stepped on the fragments of the bottle and can, and made a gurgling sound, waking up the little book demon, and it carp jumped up, first rubbed its eyes with its little hands, and when it saw Du Sleeve clearly, his face gradually became fierce.
Seeing that it was a little hostile to him, Du Wansleeve hurriedly pressed his hand towards it, and took a few steps back: "Don't be impulsive, brother demon, we have met before, you should remember that I am here to help you clean up the territory, and I have no other meaning." ”
The little book demon has a third-order demon power, and the Taoist line is on par with the monks in the early stage of the Xuan Fetus, Du Bang Sleeve is called the demon brother, when he was in Yutian Fort, the little book demon was sent out by Ding Xing to snipe Pang Xianfu, she had seen it once, and she felt strange at that time, how did this little demon transform into a human form?
The little book demon was not familiar with her, and didn't want her to interfere with Ding Xing's retreat, so he was ready to take her back to the room, the tentacles in front of her forehead and the crescent moon were shining at the same time, and she turned her head sideways, pointing at Qingfeng and the Eagle Demon, and asked the two demons to come to listen to the order.
In the past two months, Qingfeng and the Eagle Demon have already been beaten honest by the little book demon, Ding Xing gave them the spirit wine, all the little book demons occupied, and when the little book demon was drunk and asleep, they could secretly drink a few sips, the entire underground palace hall has a space of twenty or thirty zhang, and they did not dare to move around at will, and the activity area was limited to the range of a few zhang wide at the palace gate.
