Volume 1: Young with You Chapter 53 Becoming a Detail
"Su Yu. Bai Wujiang said softly while sipping his tea.
"Disciple...... I'm here. Su Yu said to his lips and forcibly changed his words.
"Sit down and talk about what you think of the sword pool just now. Bai Wujiang still glanced up at Su Yu, and said again.
When Su Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat on the stool and said, "I do have some ideas. ”
Bai Wujiang's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he asked, "What do you think, let's hear it?"
Su Yu smiled slightly and said: "This sword pool is definitely not a real sword pool, because after I entered, the people I met were all people from our Qingyang Academy, and no one succeeded in obtaining the approval of the sword to break through the realm of the underworld, and my memories are all after I came out, and there is no missing, which is inconsistent with the legend." ”
"Anything else?" Bai Wujiang looked at Su Yu and talked eloquently, nodded and motioned for Su Yu to continue.
Su Yu pondered for a while, looked at Bai Wujiang, and then at Leng Ruoxuan, and saw that they were all looking at him expectantly, so he bit his lip and said with his heart crossed: "Moreover, there is demonic energy in it." ”
Leng Ruoxuan was taken aback when she heard this, and subconsciously looked at Bai Wujiang.
And Bai Wujiang took a good time to gently pick up the cup of tea that Su Yu handed him just now, and gently scraped the water, but his tone was not as relaxed as just now, but became serious and continued: "Where did you know?"
Su Yu was nervous for a while when he heard this, and was silent for a while before he said, "I have a friend who has a magic pendant. ”
Bai Wujiang shook his head and said, "Is it the son of the Yang family or the son of the Liu family?"
Su Yu was taken aback and was about to deny it. Bai Wujiang rolled his eyes, looked at Su Yu with a smile and continued: "In this batch of new students, only the two of them have identities, and the family has the resources to equip them with this kind of equipment. ”
Su Yu looked at Dean Bai's expression and had no choice but to smile.
Bai Wujiang shook his head, gently blew the water in the teacup and said, "Forget it, I won't pursue this either, it's not interesting, but since you know this matter, then it will be more convenient for us to talk later, but you have to promise me one thing, so that I can tell you the rest of the matter." ”
Su Yu's face was solemn, and he hugged his fists towards Dean Bai and said, "Master...... Bai Lao, please speak. As long as I can do it, I will say yes. ”
Bai Wujiang looked at Su Yu and said in a deep voice, "Really?"
Su Yu lowered his head, and said with a steady voice: "It's true." ”
Bai Wujiang smiled slightly, but suddenly asked in a somewhat strange voice, "Then what if I said that I want you to go to the Demon Clan to do fine work?"
Su Yu raised his head and looked at Bai Wujiang fiercely when he heard this, although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of surprise.
Bai Wujiang smiled when he saw this, patted Su Yu's fist-clasped hands to signal him not to be too nervous, and then said to himself: "Now, I ask you, all the things we say below, none of you can say it, this passage is only known by God, the earth knows, you know, I know, and Xuan Xuan knows, you can't let the fourth person know, can you do it?"
Su Yu nodded and said, "It can be done." ”
Bai Wujiang took a sip of tea, and handed the water cup to Leng Ruoxuan, Leng Ruoxuan immediately took the water cup and put it on the table, poured it lightly, and put the water cup in front of Bai Wujiang's table.
Bai Wujiang said slowly: "You know, what is a demon?"
Su Yu was stunned, suddenly thought of Liu Qiang's words, and replied: "The so-called demonic qi was first discovered a thousand years ago when someone named Xu Qing became a celestial-level master from the underworld within two years, and was taken captive everywhere, causing the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people. At first, people didn't find out the problem, until another three hundred years finally someone uncovered the mystery, it turned out that it was all the work of demonic energy, when we were cultivating, we would have vitality possession, but when our vitality went to the wrong vein or delirious, the demonic qi would take advantage of the void, and the demonic energy could attract more demonic energy, so the cultivation speed would be very fast, but with the increase of demonic energy, one's consciousness would become more and more unclear, and even occasionally lose oneself, this is the reputation of demonic energy. Su Yu relied on his amazing memory to repeat what Liu Qiang said almost word for word.
Bai Wujiang shook his head when he heard this, and asked again, "I'm asking you, what is a demon?"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Wujiang's serious expression, and had no choice but to shake his head and say, "I don't know, please teach Bai Lao." ”。
Bai Wujiang stood up suddenly, walked to the window, and it actually began to rain lightly outside the building, Bai Wujiang looked at the faint green mountains in the distance and said slowly: "Let me tell you a story." ”
"Once upon a time, there were seven people, they grew up together, wandered together, and they agreed with each other that when they grew up, they would enjoy the blessings together and carry the difficulties together. They joined an academy together, passed the preliminary examination together, entered the second examination together, and entered the final examination together, after going through the final examination, somehow, one of them was infected with the demonic energy, and the other six brothers were not different, they still regarded him as a brother, and shared any news with him, and what benefits everyone enjoyed together. Later, the other six people all made their own achievements, and they all accumulated a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he never broke through, until he made Ji separate the other six people and led the demon sect to kill three of them, which broke through the realm.
When he entered the demon, we didn't care, thinking that how could a mere demonic qi affect the brotherly relationship for decades, and he has not changed much. It wasn't until he killed our three brothers that our other brothers reacted, and we tried to find him, and we succeeded in finding him, and we scolded him, blamed him, and he couldn't fight back, and he didn't fight back, and finally even knelt down in front of us and cut off his left arm in front of us. He said that sometimes he couldn't control himself, he had evil thoughts at that time, causing such a big mistake, he didn't dare to ask for forgiveness from his dead brothers, but he begged us to give him a chance to destroy the Demon Sect, he was willing to be our internal response in the Demon Sect, hoping that we could have new disciples to join, help him control the power of the Demon Sect, and destroy the Demon Sect at one time, he didn't want any more demons in the world, and he didn't want people to have demonic thoughts in their hearts. As he spoke, a trace of mist appeared in Bai Wujiang's eyes, and his voice became hoarse.
After a pause, Bai Wujiang continued in a deep voice: "It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes. We have sent two batches of students before, both of which were used in the method of the year, first let the demon qi select the students in the sword demon space, and then we tried to send them to the demon sect, but maybe we did it too obviously, the first batch of students came out of a traitor, and then the demon sect killed all the disciples, and the second batch of students were also guessed by the demon sect, and they were wiped out one by one, until, the pride of our Qingyang Academy...... Hehe, my good disciple. Yu Hazy, the current right commander of the Demon Sect. Unexpectedly, even my most beloved disciple actually defected to the past, and even before leaving, he did not forget me, as a master, and attacked me, so that all my old injuries in the past years could not be suppressed, and I almost died. Hehe, it's ridiculous......"
Looking at the grass trembling under the wind and rain downstairs in the distance, Bai Wujiang smiled helplessly and continued: "Originally, I was about to give up, but now that the Demon Sect is getting stronger and stronger, we really can't think of a way to curb his growth, we can only hope for your last term, if you still fail, then it is really exhausted." ”
Su Yu looked at Bai Wujiang's back and couldn't help asking, "Is the imperial court doing nothing?
Bai Wujiang smiled disdainfully when he heard this: "Imperial court, hehe...... The Demon Sect has always been active at the junction of the three empires, where they continue to absorb fresh blood and grow, and at the junction of the three empires, they are in the three regions, and they dare not send troops to it, and the Demon Sect has continued to grow like this, and now it is impossible for an empire to deal with it alone. ”
Su Yu couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he had never thought about these things, even if it was a demon sect, a demon, a demon beast, he hadn't thought about it, he knew that these were things he lacked, so he could only listen silently.
A look of expectation suddenly appeared in Bai Wujiang's eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw, and then he turned around and stared at Su Yu and said, "And you are my last hope, promise me to lurk in the Demon Sect and destroy them in one fell swoop!"
Su Yu looked at Bai Wujiang's hot eyes, couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Leng Ruoxuan, and then pointed at himself and said, "Bai Lao, are you talking to me?"
Bai Wujiang walked quickly in front of Su Yu, pressed Su Yu with a solemn face and said, "That's right, it's you, you are our last hope!"
Su Yu was surprised: "But I haven't even figured out what a demon is, and I haven't ...... Wait, you're saying you're trying out in the Sword Demon Space...... Someone is infected with demonic energy...... Into the demon ......" Su Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes as he spoke, and then said cautiously: "What you just said is fine, it won't be true, right?"
Bai Wujiang said with a serious face: "Of course it's true, it's true, I need you, we Qingyang Academy need you, everyone needs you, do you understand?"
Su Yu said with a look of surprise: "However, I didn't feel any demonic energy, and there was nothing special." Could you be mistaken?"
Bai Wujiang said excitedly: "Impossible, what you stroked downstairs just now is the Vermilion Bird Stone, nothing can be more telling than this, the Vermilion Bird likes light and heat, and has a natural resistance to demonic energy, you must have been resisted by the Vermilion Bird Stone just now, so the elders downstairs let you come up." Isn't that right?"
Su Yu didn't understand the situation for a while, so he had to respond confusedly: "That's right." ”
Bai Wujiang continued: "That's right, you are the Child of Destiny, you have also seen it, the Sword Demon Space has collapsed, you are already the last hope, and the last hope is to accept our ideas before joining the Demon Sect." I want you to break into the Demon Cult and be our internal response, are you willing?"
Rao is Su Yu has always been calm, but he was still confused by this sudden scene, Su Yu pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Bai Lao, you mean, I already have demonic energy in my body now, you want me to enter the Demon Sect to provide information to you, and then we will destroy the Demon Sect in one fell swoop, right?"
Seeing that Su Yu finally understood what he meant, Bai Wujiang hurriedly said happily: "Yes, that's right." ”
Su Yu chewed on the meaning of this sentence for a while and continued to ask: "First, do I have a partner? Second, how long do you expect this time to take Bai Lao?"
Bai Wujiang stroked his beard and said: "In response to your question, first, of course you will have a partner, but I can't tell you who the other party is, this is the purpose of Xuanxuan being here today, you can all contact her, and she will notify you if there is an event." This will keep you safe. Second, in terms of time, I expect it to be about a year, because in half a year there will be a triennial national martial arts competition. As long as you make a name for yourself in the competition, the Demon Cult will definitely find a way to poach you, and then you will have no safety problems when you push the boat. ”
Su Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "It's as simple as that, do we have any security guarantees?"
Bai Wujiang looked at Su Yu and said expectantly, "Yes, it's all up to your own wit." ”
Su Yu couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, is this still the Dean Bai he imagined? Bai Wujiang suddenly bent down and bowed solemnly: "This is my lifelong wish, please fulfill it!"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to hold up Bai Wujiang. found that he couldn't lift Bai Wujiang's body at all.
Su Yu looked at Leng Ruoxuan, who had been watching him from beginning to end, and found that Leng Ruoxuan was looking at Bai Wujiang with tears in his eyes, Su Yu sighed lightly for a while, and said, "Bai Lao, I promised, you get up." ”
Bai Wujiang straightened up when he heard this, his eyes were red, and he said, "Great! The old man's lifelong wish is expected to be fulfilled in his lifetime, which is really great!"
Leng Ruoxuan also hurriedly ran over and hugged Bai Wujiang excitedly when she heard this, she knew that Su Yu's promise was likely to be the last hope for Bai Wujiang, so she could understand Bai Wujiang's excitement.
Su Yu smiled bitterly, looking at Bai Wujiang and them making a happy mess, but coughed a few times, raised his voice and said, "Bai Lao, little senior sister, but I have bad news to share with you first, you must bear it." ”
Bai Wujiang frowned when he heard this: "Bad news? Tell me, I have been in the rivers and lakes for 30 years, and I will see if there is any news that can scare me Bai Wujiang." In a word, the domineering is unmistakable.
Su Yu propped his hands and said helplessly: "The kid may only have a total of three years to live, so there is no problem in agreeing to your request, because I also want to live a more exciting life in the rest of the world, and I am indeed not so afraid of death, but I am afraid that if you can't achieve your desired goal in these three years, it will make you happy, so I want to tell you first, I ...... It is likely that there is less than three years to live. ”
Bai Wujiang was stunned for a moment, brushed his sleeves and said unhappily: "How is it possible, I see that you are vigorous in blood and energy, your limbs are sound, and there is no danger to your life, how can you only have a lifespan of only three years?" At a young age, even if you don't want to agree to my request, don't give up yourself so easily, if you don't want to, forget it, why do you need to say that?"
Leng Ruoxuan also frowned when she heard this, she also frowned at Su Yu, in her impression, Su Yu didn't look like that kind of ungrateful person, nor like a person who could lie?
Su Yu smiled helplessly, stretched out his hands and said, "I don't know if Bai Lao has heard of the icefall poison?"
Bai Wujiang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I seem to have heard of it." ”
Su Yu sighed lightly and said: "This icefall poison is in my body now, so let's do it, Bai Lao, you are an expert, you take the pulse for me, every time an hour passes, my icefall poison will spread once in my body and shrink once, and it will get faster and faster as I get older, if you don't believe it, Bai Lao, you should be able to feel it for me." ”
Bai Wujiang's eyebrows furrowed, since Su Yu had said this, he shouldn't lie to himself, but how could he rest assured if he didn't try? Thinking about it, he patted Leng Ruoxuan's little hand and motioned her to sit back, and then sat back on the stool himself.
Bai Wujiang put his hand down and gently took Su Yu's hand.
Leng Ruoxuan hurriedly sat back, looking at Bai Wujiang and Su Yu with a nervous face.
Bai Wujiang stroked his beard lightly with one hand and put the other hand on Su Yu's arm, and Su Yu looked at Bai Wujiang helplessly.
It had just passed the time of a stick of incense, and suddenly, Bai Wujiang's left hand on Su Yu's arm was like being bitten by a snake, and suddenly withdrew like lightning.
Bai Wujiang exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath heavily, and asked with a solemn face, "This is what you said about the icefall poison?"
Su Yu nodded, and said helplessly: "Bai Lao, do you believe it now?"
Bai Wujiang nodded and said, "This ice waterfall poison is extremely domineering, as soon as I touched it, I felt a compelling cold air pass down my fingers into my body, even a person like me who cultivates fire attribute exercises is a little surprised, if it is an ordinary person who touches it, it will be dangerous." ”
Su Yu continued: "Yes, and as I get older, the frequency of its eruptions and contractions will accelerate. ”
Bai Wujiang stroked his beard, but asked with a frown: "I have never seen such a violent poisonous old man in his life, but with such a violent poison, why didn't he freeze your body at one time?"
Su Yu was stunned when he heard this, and replied in a low voice: "Thanks to Lu Yao and Zhang Biao in Yang City, they helped me find Tianxin Grass and help me take this medicine, otherwise I would have been a corpse ten years ago." ”
Bai Wujiang Wenyan was also stunned, and then his face changed greatly and he stood up and said, "But the people in the rivers and lakes say that as long as there is a breath left, the Tianxin Grass that can detoxify all poisons?"
Su Yu looked at the startled Bai Wujiang and nodded: "It is this medicine, it is it that has helped me suppress the outbreak cycle of toxicity in my body for ten years, and every time the meridians that are damaged after the outbreak, it will be repaired as before, so the kid can live to this day." ”
Bai Wujiang nodded at this time, sighed and said, "There is such a tortuous story. ”
Su Yu nodded, and then hugged his fists again and said: "So the kid is not talented, it's not that he is unwilling to help Bai Lao achieve great things, but the kid's body is afraid that it won't be able to support that moment." ”
Bai Wujiang frowned and said: "I can't do anything for a while with your poison, but as long as you are willing to be our secret agent, I am still willing to accept you as my closed disciple, I will definitely try my best to help you prolong your life in the past few years, and you must also promise me to work hard, so that if everything goes well......"
Bai Wujiang couldn't help but look embarrassed when he said this.
Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said: "It's okay, Bai Lao, the kid has a cheap life, it is God's blessing to live to this day, I don't dare to ask for more, if you can fulfill a dream for Bai Lao in your lifetime, it is very worthwhile." ”
Bai Wujiang stared at Su Yu when he heard this, his gaze was determined.
After a while, he patted Su Yu's shoulder and said, "The old man didn't see the wrong person, you are very good." In this way, you go back and rest first, tomorrow is the real sword pool trial, I hope you can come back alive to see me, and then we will talk about other things. ”
Su Yu smiled and stood up, only to find that he didn't know when those cold sweats had dried up, but the clothes were all attached to his body, which was very inconvenient, so he hugged his fists and said, "Okay, Bai Lao, little senior sister, then I'll go back first." ”
Bai Wujiang and Leng Ruoxuan nodded, and Su Yu slowly walked downstairs.
"Master, he's really a hard worker......
"Who says it's not?But now the overall situation is not optimistic, if the Demon Sect rises up, it may be a real disaster, that is the catastrophe of the common people, and the teacher can only hope that this last time can play a role, hey......"
