Chapter 986: Old and Young
Yuan Yan carried Wei Rui on her back and plundered, and only after she had completely exhausted her true yuan did she stop and let Wei Rui go.
After becoming a cultivator, she had never completely exhausted her true essence, and a strong feeling of weakness and exhaustion swept her away in an instant, making her sweat like rain.
A terrifying fluctuation of vitality erupted from the direction of the previous post station and appeared in her and Wei Rui's perceptions.
Wei Rui and she are not ordinary people, one is depleted of true yuan, and the other is seriously injured, but at this moment, the two can still maintain their composure.
"This kind of vitality fluctuation....even when dealing with me, the Demon Sect has not done so much. ”
Wei Rui looked at the direction of the post station, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "With such a terrifying eruption of True Yuan, even if the Demon Sect can deal with this mysterious person, I am afraid that it may not be able to bargain for itself." ”
Yuan Yan's face did not have any relaxed look, she also looked at the direction of the post station with a calm face, and said: "But with the strangeness of the Demon Sect at this time, even if he pays a heavy price to kill this person, the stronger the opponent, as long as he can finally kill this person, he will also be able to draw more vitality from the other party's body, if so, we still can't escape." ”
"You could have left, you don't have to be tied to me. ”
Wei Rui turned his head to look at her still a little immature but very resolute face, and admonished seriously: "Even if you go separately from me at this time, the chances of survival are better after all." ”
"Who are you?"
Yuan Yan glanced at him coldly and asked.
Wei Rui was stunned.
He didn't know why.
"You are the general of the Southern Dynasty. ”
Yuan Yan answered for him, and then continued: "Who am I? I am the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I originally just wanted to talk to Xiao Yan with you, you are not from the Northern Wei Dynasty, you are a general of the Southern Dynasty, you don't have to protect me thoroughly, I am the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, you are like this to me, but I abandon you, can I be so unjust? Who are you and me?" ”
Although her tone was cold, Wei Rui was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "It's still childish." ”
"Don't look down on people. ”
Yuan Yan sat down, she looked in the direction of the post station, waiting.
She was sweating all over, but the meridians in her body were empty, without the usual familiar flow of true yuan, she only felt that her whole body began to feel a little cold, so she shrunk her body and naturally hugged her knees with both hands.
Wei Rui also sat down beside her.
He was already very old, and in the battle just now, he not only lost a lot of his true yuan and natal vitality, but he also lost a lot of his vitality by burning jade, so he looked very old at this time.
He and Yuan Yan sat together in the wild grass, if someone passed by and saw it at this time, I am afraid that they would never have thought that this was General Wei Rui and the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty sitting together, and the two of them fell in the eyes of the vast majority of people, I am afraid that they are like grandfathers and granddaughters who have lost their cattle and sheep and looked very desolate.
The two waited in silence for a long time, not feeling any terrifying aura approaching.
"It seems that luck is good, and I can live a few more years. Wei Rui laughed and said.
"What's going on with the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty?"
Yuan Yan sat up straight, she no longer looked like a shepherdesss who had lost her grazing cattle and sheep, her tone sharpened again, and she asked directly.
Wei Rui shook his head gently, he didn't hesitate, and said slowly: "Before the Three Sages of the Southern Heavens, the most powerful cultivator in the south should be the Dao Saint Wang Tingqing, you must have heard of it... The prosperity of the Southern Dao Sect is also largely due to this person. This person has improved many cultivation methods, and many of the notes he left behind have even directly derived many schools of Taoism. Most of the classic records of later generations attribute this person's achievements to his talent and hard work, but there are also some different records of the enemies or hostile sects that he was enemies of his time, and among some of the classics left by those enemies and rival sects, it is said that Wang Tingqing was able to be very different from everyone in that era, just because he got a dragon pill from an ancient tomb by chance, and it was this dragon pill that made him absorb the aura of heaven and earth at a speed that ordinary cultivators do not know how many times. For cultivators like us in later generations, naturally we will not spend energy to deduce the truth of this statement, but the Empress Dowager of the Southern Dynasty saw this kind of record back then, and happened to find the mausoleum of the Dao Sage Wang Tingqing. She directly and secretly excavated the tomb of the Dao Saint Wang Tingqing, and really obtained the legendary Dragon Pill magic weapon, and then her cultivation speed far exceeded what ordinary people thought, and she soon became one of the three saints of Nantian. ”
"This kind of thing, even the Demon Sect can't find out at all, it should be a very secret thing, as far as I know, you and the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty are not too close, so why do you know such a thing?"
Yuan Yan looked at Wei Rui, although she felt that Wei Rui would not lie at this time, but what the Demon Sect said before still made her feel suspicious, "And according to what the Demon Sect said, the Empress Dowager of the Southern Dynasty also knows that you know her affairs, and she is very jealous of you, just like she is afraid of He Xiu." ”
"Before the Southern Dynasties, there were three Taoist tombs, one in Yongzhou, one in Yuzhou, and one in the Jiankang Purple Mountain. She excavated the tomb of the Taoist saint Wang Tingqing, in Yuzhou, and at that time, I was in charge of the former Yuzhou assassin history, I practiced in Yuzhou, the Taoist tomb suddenly changed dramatically that day, I practiced the formation, naturally there was a feeling, when I went, she had already left, but after all, there were many clues, I arrived and found that the mausoleum turned out to be the tomb of the Taoist saint Wang Tingqing, and then all kinds of clues, also let me find out that the tomb robber was her. Wei Rui said with some emotion, "But at that time, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and Xiao Yan quickly raised troops, in a few years, the world will be decided, Xiao Yan is a person valued by Shen Yue, if the Taoist sects learn the truth and rise up to resist it, then the Southern Dynasty doesn't know how long it will be chaotic." ”
"So you didn't spread the word that she had dug up the Holy Sepulchre. Yuan Yan nodded and said, "Indeed, according to your wishes and position, since you can't bear to let the people suffer more, you should also feel that it will not be good for you to spread this kind of news." ”
Wei Rui nodded and said: "She knew that I was a member of the formation, and she was investigating this matter back then, and she must have known the truth in her heart, but seeing that I didn't say anything, she also understood that I was rotten in my stomach, but according to what the Demon Sect said, I am afraid that although the emperor has treated me well over the years, she is afraid that she wants to get rid of me to prevent future troubles." ”
Yuan Yan couldn't help but smile slightly with schadenfreude, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that she herself died at the hands of the Demon Sect soon after, I'm afraid that after she leaves the Huxin Meditation Courtyard, it won't be long before she will attack you, a general who has returned to her hometown." ”
Wei Rui didn't refute, but said, "The Demon Sect is a little wrong, thinking that I have something else to hide with her... I don't know the mysterious man who came with you today. ”
Yuan Yan was silent for a moment, she also heard what Wei Rui meant, her brows furrowed deeply, and then said, "I don't know either." ”
Wei Rui sighed softly, I don't know how, although he escaped with his life today, he was faintly uneasy in his heart at this time.
If that mysterious man was defeated by the Demon Sect, he wouldn't think much about it.
But at this time, the mysterious man seemed to have dealt with even the Demon Sect, and he vaguely felt that the other party either did not show up, and since he did, something more terrible would happen, and it would come to light.
