8. Infant Ceremony (5) Catch insects
Xue Zhaodi, who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, was stunned when she heard this, she turned around and asked, "Immortal Yu and Miss Su have met before?"
"Nope. Yu Liaoyuan turned his head and looked to the other side.
"When I was young, I had a relationship. Su Xiaotang was straightforward and said with a smile.
The two spoke at the same time, but the results were vain. This made Xue Zhaodi not know how to continue the topic.
Yu Liaoyuan naturally heard Su Xiaotang's words, turned his head to look at her, and said, "At that time, you didn't say that you were from the Phantom Moon Sect, you said that you were a down-and-out sect monk who was hunted down by the Demon Sect......"
"Yu Daoyou, don't see the outside like this. At that time, I hadn't joined the Phantom Moon Sect yet. Although it is false that he was seriously injured, it is true that he was hunted by the Demon Sect. If it weren't for Yu Daoyou, I'm afraid I would have ......," Su Xiaotang said.
Yu Liaoyuan's anger did not subside when he heard this, but his anger was even stronger.
About thirty years ago, Yu Liao was far away in the late Jindan period, one step away from the Great Perfection of Jindan. Assigned by his master, he went to the Eastern Regions to purchase herbs. On the way, he met Su Xiaotang, who was chased and killed by the Demon Sect monks.
At that time, Su Xiaotang was far less than now, and his clothes were very depressed and injured. Out of sympathy, Yu Liaoyuan rescued her. Who would have thought that the next day after saving this Su Xiaotang, Su Xiaotang disappeared without a trace, followed by the Demon Sect monks who came from afar towards Yu Liao.
This Demon Sect is one of the "Three Sects", but compared to other sects, it is a sect where evil monks gather. The best thing for his disciples is the soul devouring technique, which is to torture and kill living people in extremely cruel methods, take their souls and put them in black flags to refine, and finally turn them into powerful ghosts and spirits that can be driven. Whenever he encountered the Demon Sect in the cultivation realm, he tried to stay away as much as possible, because this Soul Devouring Technique could not be prevented.
Once the monk is caught, he will not be able to escape the fate of being controlled after being tortured and killed, not only will he reveal the secrets of the sect, but he will also become a monster with no reason and the ability to preserve his memories before death.
Yu Liaoyuan was arrested after a hard battle with the monks of the Demon Sect, and after some demon-style torture, he was fortunately rescued by the monks of the Tianyan Sect who arrived. Only then will you be saved from the danger of being refined.
Later, after interrogating the Demon Sect monks, it turned out that Su Xiaotang had stolen the secret treasure of the Demon Sect branch altar master, and after being arrested, he told the people of the Demon Sect that his loyal master behind the scenes had taken away the secret treasure, and he didn't want to die in vain, and was willing to cooperate with the Demon Sect monk to catch the real black hand behind the scenes, on the condition that she be let go.
So, the Demon Sect and Su Xiaotang reached an intention, who would have thought that this so-called person behind the scenes was just Su Xiaotang's trick to deceive people, the secret treasure had long been hidden by Su Xiaotang elsewhere, and when Yu Liaoyuan was caught, he had already fled with the secret treasure.
Thirty years later, Su Xiaotang became a disciple of the Phantom Moon Sect, and also became one of the Seven Uniques of the Phantom Moon Sect, and his realm was also raised to the Yuan Infant Stage. Yu Liao didn't recognize it for a while, but after some exchanges, he found that he actually had a sense of déjà vu with this Phantom Moon Sect disciple.
And then there was the scene just now.
"Su Daoyou was neat when he escaped with other people's secret treasures, do you know that Yu was almost killed by you!" Yu Liaoyuan said this, already a little bit of gnashing of teeth.
Su Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, and then said sullenly: "I was not thoughtful back then, and Yu Daoyou is not to blame." That secret treasure was originally taken away by the Demon Sect after killing my father, I pretended to be injured back then, and it was my fault for deceiving you into the game, but I didn't want Yu Daoyou to be in danger, I quickly notified Tianyanzong after I escaped, but I didn't expect Yu Daoyou to be captured by the Demon Sect and almost hurt you. ”
When Su Xiaotang said this, his tone was a little low.
"You...... Forget it, I just hope you and I don't meet again in the future. I have no intention of having a relationship with Su Daoyou, and I do not want to accept such an apology. After Yu Liaoyuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Su Xiaotang saw that Yu Liaoyuan didn't even want to talk to him, and the depression in his heart was even better.
"The people of this Tianyan Sect are all wooden fish heads, I have already apologized, I did it unintentionally...... If I don't take back my family's secret treasure, what face will I have to face my dead father and brother?" Su Xiaotang said bitterly.
Zhao Di, who understood what happened on the side, sighed lightly when she heard Su Xiaotang's words: "Miss Su, you just kept saying how innocent and pitiful you are, but you didn't expect how terrible Yu Daoyou's experience was back then. How did you decide that Yu Xianchang could escape the pursuit back then? Others saved you, but you left him and fled alone, this can't be easily forgiven......
Su Xiaotang laughed first when she heard this, she glanced at Zhao Di and Mrs. Zhao on the side and sneered: "What do you know as a mortal? If I don't run away at that time, I will stay there and die, and the secret treasure that I have won so hard will be in vain." You don't understand anything, but you're here to make a lot of nonsense, don't think that you can rely on Zhao Qige's momentum to be able to say a few words to anyone, what do you think you are!"
After Su Xiaotang finished speaking, she saw her eyes turn peach, looked at Xue Zhaodi, and suddenly Zhaodi fainted in front of her eyes. In vain, the old lady Zhao was in the same place, shouting her name worriedly.
"This Immortal Su, Zhao Di is young and doesn't know anything, please raise your noble hand and spare her......" Old Lady Zhao said with a crying voice.
Su Xiaotang snorted when he heard this: "Mortals should have the consciousness of mortals, don't try to challenge cultivators, it is already a great honor for you to let you participate in this wedding ceremony, don't know what to do." ”
After speaking, Su Xiaotang left alone, leaving the old lady of the Zhao family anxiously shouting Zhao Di's name.
At this time, sitting on the stage of the martial arts, Zhao Qige, who had not moved like a bell before, looked towards the tower.
"What's the matter, but you're bored?" the third elder sitting next to Zhao Qige asked when he noticed that his apprentice was absent-minded.
Zhao Qige just wanted to say something, and then looked at Master Xiyue, who was sitting on the side and was admiring the battle between Xu Yuli and Zhuge Ran, and finally only one sentence remained on his lips: "It's nothing, now that the outcome of this game has been decided, Zhuge Ran will soon launch the final blow." ”
"This Xu Yuli is still a little bit worse, but the battle sense and root bones are good. The three elders pointed out.
Zhao Qige was silent when he heard this, and Dugu Ao sighed lightly when he saw this: "That's it, Xu Lao Er, don't blame me for not opening a small stove for his granddaughter." ”
On the martial arts stage, Zhuge Ran neatly gave Xu Yuli, who had a nervous breakdown, a follow-up blow, and completed the competition perfectly.
This competition was very exciting, and the audience was also attentive, and even after the two of them got off the stage, they were still happily talking about the art of the Phantom Moon Sect and the gossip of the Xu family.
Elder Xu, who was sitting on the stage, watched his granddaughter being carried away with a blank face, and then left his seat with a cold snort.
I said...... How many more are there here?What are you in a hurry?" Xiyue said as she looked at Elder Xu, who had an unkind face.
"There are a few games left, it's up to a few to judge!" Xu Qiubai finished speaking, and left without an explanation.
Xiyue looked at his back and frowned, "Eh......"
"Venerable Xiyue, forget it, Elder Xu is afraid that he is in a bad mood, but now this game is also coming to an end, and there is no big problem. Seeing this, the head of the Tianyan Sect hurriedly reconciled.
Xiyue could only give up when she heard this, sighed and said, "There are still two games left, and this last one is the competition between Yuxi and the Liu family." ”
As soon as Xiyue's words fell, the ninth competition began, and she saw a female cultivator in a crimson robe jumping onto the stage, and her opponent was a disciple of the recent emerging sect.
"Oh, it's An Le, this girl!" the head did not answer Xiyue's question, and said to himself.
"Although this girl seems to be lazy and lazy, she has never dropped the chain in major matters, quite a bit like his father back then!"
A few words finally drew Xiyue's attention to this competition.
A new competition began in the martial arts arena, and after Elder Xu left the table altar outside the arena, he first made some calculations in a place where there was no one.
"How can this Zhao Qige's wife have a sense of heavenly decay...... How can I remember that she was just over fourteen years old?" Elder Xu muttered, hurriedly calculated Xue Zhaodi's location, and was shocked when he arrived at the tower and saw Xue Zhaodi.
"What's going on?" Xu Qiubai said in surprise.
I saw Zhao Di lying on the ground, bleeding uncontrollably, her face was purple and blue, and Mrs. Zhao also fell from the wheelchair, holding her helplessly and shouting her name, when she saw Xu Qiubai, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask for help.
"This immortal elder, please save my family Zhaodi......"
Xu Qiubai looked at Zhao Di and fell into a dilemma for a while, if Zhao Di died now, then her marriage with Zhao Qige would naturally be dissolved, and Zhao Qige could directly complete the contract with the Taoist couple at that moment...... On the other hand, judging by the reaction of the head and the three elders, the performance of his two granddaughters in this competition was really not good...... If Zhao Di died, Yuxi, who was in charge of the faction, won this victory and became a Taoist companion of Zhao Qige, and he was unwilling.
"Immortal ......," Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but say when she saw that Xu Qiubai had not moved.
"That's it, I'll save her life, and let her see more of this magical cultivation realm......" After Xu Qiubai finished speaking, he took a delicate wooden box from his sleeve, and then lifted Zhao Di with one hand.
"This is an artificial spiritual root, I will instill this spiritual root into her dantian, with the spiritual root, she can become a monk, but in the future, the highest state can only reach the Great Perfection of Qi refining. To be able to continue her life is just a few years longer than that of mortals. Saying that, Xu Qiubai put the artificial spirit root into Zhao Di's body.
Together with the artificial spiritual root, there was a huge aura in Zhao Di's body, and Xu Qiubai combed Zhao Di's spiritual power while healing her injuries by the way.
"Why aren't you awake?" asked Mrs. Zhao.
The wounds have healed, the seven orifices are no longer bleeding, and the face is back to the same as before. But this trick Di didn't wake up for a long time.
Xu Qiubai opened Zhao Di's eyelids, and saw that her pupils had turned peach, and said clearly: "Falling for the illusion, a simple illusion may only make the monk suffer, but for mortals, it can kill mortals." Who just hurt her like this?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she said: "It's an immortal wearing a pink and white Luo skirt, listening to their conversation, it's surnamed Su." ”
"Pink and white Luo skirt ......" Elder Xu muttered in a low voice, could it be the Phantom Moon Sect? However, the person who cast the spell did not use the illusion of the Phantom Moon Sect, and he must have been afraid that the Phantom Moon Sect would be involved.
"What about Yu Liaoyuan who sent you to Tianyan Sect in the first place?" As soon as Xu Qiubai's voice fell, he saw Yu Liaoyuan, who had left before, coming back breathlessly.
Xu ...... Uncle Xu!" Yu Liaoyuan glanced at Zhao Di who fell to the ground, and secretly said bad things.
Elder Xu snorted coldly when he heard this: "That's how you completed the task assigned to you by your master?"
"Disciple is ......ashamed," Yu Liaoyuan bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Yu Liaoyuan felt guilty in his heart, but he was not facing Zhaodi, but to his master and master. Yu Liaoyuan regarded protecting Zhao Di and Mrs. Zhao as a task given by the sect, but in his heart, he did not regard Mrs. Zhao and Xue Zhaodi as important people. Although one of them occupies the name of Zhao Venerable's mother, the other is still Zhao Qige's nominal wife.
However, both of them are mortals, and Yu Liaoyuan's task is only to bring them safely to the sect to complete the task. So after that, he arranged them behind the tower, and had an argument with Su Xiaotang, and there was no problem in leaving alone. But just now, Yu Liaoyuan received a spiritual letter from Zhao Qige.
The content of the letter is indeed to ask him to take care of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Di!
Only then did Yu Liaoyuan realize that maybe in the eyes of others, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Di were just dispensable people, but for Zhao Qige, these two people still had weight.
"That's it...... Just this ...... Forehead...... Master Zhao's nephew's wife almost lost her life, so I used the earth spirit root to pour into her dantian when I passed here, and repaired her wounds by using the heaven and earth aura generated when the spirit root was poured in. Now that the person is fine, he can break free from the illusion. Xu Qiubai said.
This so-called earth spiritual root is a saying among monks, referring to the artificial spiritual root through the art of forging, after the mortal is implanted with the spiritual root, he can get the opportunity to cultivate immortals, but the person who is implanted with the spiritual root is often lacking in spiritual energy storage, and the sea of knowledge is even more barren, and at most he can only cultivate to the great perfection of qi refining.
