Chapter 41 Respective Missions
In Li Shuyu's eyes, Zixiao Zhenjun has always been an incomparably soft master, like clouds and spring rain. Even when she taught her apprentices, she always spoke softly and guided patiently, which often made her and her brothers feel that there was nothing in this world that the master could not think about or see.
But all living beings in the world have seven emotions and six desires, except for the Buddha who is beyond the world and is not in the five elements, who can not have a few things that cannot be compromised, or a person who puts it on the tip of his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister is against it. β
Zixiao Zhenjun gently pushed away Lishuyu, knelt down in the center of the hall a few steps forward, and said sonorously: "Luo Xi Yuanjun has not been reformed by you for a long time because of his ineffective work, and now he has been suddenly reinstated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." β
Shenwei Xingjun is not incomprehensible to him, the whole world knows that he Zixiao Zhenjun and Luo Xi Yuanjun are about to get married, and no one wants to send the bride to the battlefield at this juncture. But now the situation is special, eradicating the sleeveless is a top priority, there are many warriors who sacrifice their ego for the sake of the beings of the Three Realms, how come it is not possible to get to him Zixiao True Monarch?
"Zhenjun, now that there is no sleeve to make chaos in the Three Realms, it is not the time to consider the private affairs of your children. His tone was very heavy, with some condemnation: "And as a martial immortal, it is my duty to protect my family and defend the country, how can I refuse it lightly." β
Zixiao Zhenjun's face did not change: "She is no longer a martial immortal. β
The implication is that it is not her duty to protect her family and defend the country.
Shenwei Xingjun was instantly annoyed, the reason why he didn't like to deal with Wen Xian the most was that he couldn't stand their clichΓ©d rhetoric and chewing words, their mouths flew up and down a few times, and martial immortals like him had to run around before and after the saddle, and they were born and died and worked hard. But now is different from the past, in front of the Heavenly Emperor who only focuses on victory, even if he Zixiao Zhenjun wears out his mouth, Luo Xi Yuanjun's sword will still be unsheathed.
"Zixiao Zhenjun and retreat. β
Sure enough, the Heavenly Emperor didn't pay any attention to Zixiao Zhenjun's request, he got up and walked down the steps, and said coldly: "The strongest ice sword array in the heavenly realm is the original creation of Luo Xi Yuanjun, and the immortal soldiers in the extremely cold land only listen to her orders, she holds a strong army in the heavenly realm in her hands, and enjoys the incense offerings in the world, shouldn't she complete her mission dutifully?"
Hmph, Li Shuyu couldn't help but sneer, you used to send Luo Xi Yuanjun to the prison because of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, and you sent her to the demon world to take risks, so you left in the world to be dismissed, and when you need it, you want her to do your duty and charge into battle. It is no wonder that the immortals and the demon world have never put the heavenly palace in their eyes, and the emperor has such a small belly and chicken intestines, and he is also entrusted to teach people to look down on them.
"Yes!"
"The deity has made up his mind. The Emperor of Heaven interrupted Zixiao Zhenjun, who was still struggling, and ordered: "Immediately resume the position of Luo Xi Yuanjun Sword Immortal, and lead the three-way Heavenly General, Shenwei Xingjun, you go and pass the decree." β
Shenwei Xingjun was overjoyed: "Yes!"
Zixiao Zhenjun was instantly exhausted, his eyes were distracted and he sat on the ground, his face was as pale as snow, and he was so fragile that he seemed to be shattered by just a light touch. Li Shuyu's nose was sour, tears flowed out uncontrollably, she didn't care that she was just a little fairy child burning fire at the moment, rushed over to support the crumbling Zixiao Zhenjun, and cried: "Master, let's go back first." β
"How can this little boy be so ignorant of the rules. Tieji Immortal Jun angrily reprimanded: "How can you speak above the main hall!"
Jiaoyue Immortal Jun couldn't look at it, and scolded him: "It's normal for people to feel sorry for Master, you are so fierce. β
Tie Ji Xianjun choked so hard that he blushed and didn't dare to speak again.
"Little one, help your master to step back first. "Jiaoyue Immortal Jun and Luo Xi Yuanjun have a deep friendship, and when she learned that her best friend was going to cross the sea of fire from the Sword Mountain again, she was not in a good mood at the moment, she waved her hand to Li Shuyu, signaling her to hurry up and take Zixiao Zhenjun back, and don't make the Emperor angry again.
Li Shuyu helped Zixiao Zhenjun to stand up, and Ao Shu's voice came from his ears: "You send Zixiao Zhenjun back first, and I will go to Zixiao Palace to find you after disposing of Yunta." β
The immortals sent the short Lishuyu to help Zixiao Zhenjun stumble out of the main hall, and their feelings were a little complicated, either happy or sympathetic. Only Luo Lin, who was sitting at the top, looked indifferent, and there was a bitter cold brewing in his eyes.
On the way back to Zixiao Palace after leaving the main hall, Zixiao Zhenjun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Yu'er, it's really useless to be a teacher. β
Li Shuyu shook his head desperately: "Master is not! You didn't hesitate to be seriously injured in your hands and feet in order to save Luo Xi Yuanjun and couldn't practice martial arts, in order to heal Yuanjun without hesitation to feed medicine with blood, and now for Yuanjun to fight with the Heavenly Emperor in the main hall, you have done what many people can't do!"
"Yes, but that's not enough to protect her. Zixiao Zhenjun's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, and he laughed at himself: "I have never felt sorry for my hands and feet, but now I can't help but wonder, if I become a martial immortal with healthy hands and feet, Xi'er doesn't need to work so hard." β
"Master......"
In front of the powerless status quo, his words were too pale, and Li Shuyu couldn't think of any words that could comfort Zixiao Zhenjun, so he could only clench his fists hard and quietly follow Zixiao Zhenjun's side.
Back at Zixiao Palace, Zixiao Zhenjun immediately began to pack up his treasured elixir, Li Shuyu guessed what he wanted to do, and immediately ran to Luo Xi Palace to find Bi Yan who was pounding flower juice, and informed her of the Emperor's order, so that she could pack the fleeing luggage for Luo Xi Yuanjun with herself.
To her surprise, Bi Yan refused.
"Shuyu, in your heart, what kind of immortal is Yuanjun?"
Bi Yan stopped pounding the flower juice and said with a calm face: "In your eyes, she is just Zixiao Zhenjun's lover, but in the eyes of mortal beings, she is the god of war and an invincible sword immortal, she has her own responsibilities and what she wants to do, and she doesn't need anyone's protection." β
Li Shuyu was so anxious that he sweated: "But Sleeveless is now holding the Ten Thousand Armies Listening to the Talisman, and his strength has far exceeded that of the past, when Yuan Jun was trapped in the Yuan Taixu Realm, it took a full fifty years to desperately escape." If you face him again now, it will definitely be more than lucky!"
"Even if there is a lot of luck, someone must stop him, right?" Bi Yan raised her right hand, and a cold and flickering sword immediately appeared in her hand, she met Li Shuyu's surprised eyes, and said calmly: "Shuyu, although I soak in the kitchen all day long, but as a disciple of Luo Xi Yuanjun, I am also a martial artist, and on the day Yuanjun set out on the expedition, I will also go with me." β
Bi Yan has the dignity of being a warrior, Luo Xi Yuanjun also has the dignity of being a sword immortal, in the past few hundred years, she has not protected her followers from the hands of demons for the first time, she has already had other unforgettable concerns except Zixiao Zhenjun, because from the moment when the Ten Clans rebelled and broke into the enemy formation alone, her choice has been made.
"But...... But Master ......" Li Shuyu bit her lower lip tightly, and what she wanted to say was full of words, but she couldn't say a word at the moment.
If Luo Xi Yuanjun wanted to go by herself, how could she stop her.
Returning to Zixiao Palace with heavy steps, Zixiao Zhenjun had already cleaned up, he closed his eyes and sat quietly in his courtyard, and there was a delicate gold and jade box on the several cases in front of him.
"Yu'er. β
Li Shuyu was startled, and hurriedly walked over and knelt down.
"In vain. β
"You go back to Camel Mountain and give this to Xi'er. Zixiao Zhenjun raised his eyes and looked at the golden jade box in front of him, and said lightly: "The box contains all the elixirs treasured by the teacher, which should help her." β
"Pill?" Li Shuyu was puzzled, "Don't you want to pack up your things and leave with Yuanjun?"
"Leave?" Zixiao Zhenjun smiled, shook his head and sighed, "Where are you going? Besides, Xi'er is different from being a teacher, she has sentient beings in her heart, and there is a Qiankun that is more important than being a teacher, and she will never run away with her teacher. β
"You know everything?"
"As a teacher and her childhood sweetheart, growing up together, flying together, and spending thousands of years together, how could she not know what she was thinking. Zixiao Zhenjun recalled the past with Luo Xi Yuanjun, and his eyes unconsciously softened: "When she was still a mortal, Xi'er was a person who loved to fight with justice and injustice, and wanted to become a heroine who fought with swords. She is gifted and intelligent, and her peers regard her as the best candidate for the next head, but the master hopes that she can have a husband and children and have ordinary happiness, so he has never recognized her. In order to get the approval of her master, she practiced martial arts day and night regardless of her body, but she was also overwhelmed and went mad, and almost lost her hands and feet. β
"Thanks to you for saving her in time. Li Shuyu said softly: "The apprentice once heard Yuanjun say that before you were injured, you were originally a chivalrous warrior with ambitions in the world, but later in order to save her from being injured, you changed your Dan Fu Dao and broke off the idea of becoming a chivalrous man. So in vain I thought...... Is the reason why Yuanjun is so desperate is because her dream was also your dream?"
Zixiao Zhenjun's eyes were shocked, his body couldn't help trembling slightly, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and choked up: "Go ahead." β
Li Shuyu withdrew from the courtyard with the box in her hand, and stood outside the courtyard under the begonia tree that Luo Xi Yuanjun and Zixiao Zhenjun had planted together without moving for a long time, the begonia petals fell all over her body with the wind, and her tears fell all over the ground.
"Don't cry. β
Ao Shu's voice came to her ears, she raised her teary eyes and looked left and right, only to see Ao Shu standing at the gate from afar, looking at her with a look of pity.
"Immortals. She came to Ao Shu with the box in her hand and sobbed: "I don't want Yuanjun to go, and I don't want Ah Feng to go." β
"Every living being comes into the world with a mission that he must complete, they have theirs, and you have yours. Ao Shu wiped away her tears and comforted her in a harmonious voice: "Evil does not prevail over good, no matter how powerful Sleeveless is now, it is absolutely impossible to realize his ambitions." We will win, but victory will also come with sacrifice, it could be them, it could be you and me, it could be anyone. Shuyu, if their mission is to save all living beings in the world, then it is your mission to protect your lover. β
Ao Shu lifted her chin and looked deeply into her eyes: "Got it?"
Li Shuyu nodded vigorously: "Hmm!"
