20. Magic Sword
Jiang Renzhi didn't persuade me again, but just said that I had to prepare medicinal herbs, and I could start the medicinal bath after three days.
When he walked out, I saw his shoulders trembling slightly, as if trying to suppress himself, and I knew that he was crying again behind my back.
I'm embarrassing him.
Watching the people of my loved ones suffer this inhuman pain, every time I prepare it with my own hands, the pain and struggle in it is indescribable......
No, something is wrong.
During this time, because of amnesia, I had no clue about what I encountered, and my heart was full of doubts, but I didn't want to speculate and be suspicious, so I pressed these doubts down.
I controlled my emotions a little and said to Ah Jiu, "Ah Jiu, sit over there, I have something to ask you." β
Ah Jiu first took a pillow and put it behind my back, so that I could sit on the edge of the bed, and then sat on the stool next to the bed: "Xiaobai, why are you suddenly so serious...... But what am I doing wrong?"
"Before me, was the previous master of Jiuli my mother Yue Jiaoran?"
Ah Jiu suddenly lowered his head and didn't look at me: "What was the previous master?"
"If not, tell me, why was I able to pull out Jiuli in the first place, and why was Ayun once sealed in Jiuli?"
"You know...... I only took on human form in the worst place, and I don't know much about what happened before......"
"You can feel close to Ah Yun because he was once sealed in Jiulili. Then Jiuli will also feel close because I am the daughter of the previous master, right?" I looked at Ah Jiu, "Look up, look at me." β
Ah Jiu looked up at me, his eyes full of tears.
I've made two people cry in a row today, alas.
"Actually, I don't have to ask you about this matter. "Usually, if I see Ah Jiu crying, I won't ask anything, but this matter is very important, I have to force myself to be cold and ruthless, "Although my mother has been dead for many years, there are still some old people in the demon world, and it is not difficult to know......
"Yes!" Ah Jiu finally cried and said, "The Moon Palace Lord is the previous master of Jiuli Sword. β
Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought.
"Look, it's good to say it, and you have to let me force you to ......"
Ah Jiu suddenly knelt down, as if he was a different person for a moment, tears were still hanging on his face, but his expression was more serious than he had ever been.
"What are you doing! I'm just letting you tell the truth......" I subconsciously wanted to get out of bed and help Ah Jiu up, but I forgot that I couldn't move now, and finally watched Ah Jiu kowtow to me three times in front of the bed, the stupid girl was so hard that her forehead was bloody, "Are you deliberately angry with me? You don't know that Jiuli Sword is mine, and even taking you is mine." Without my permission, you dare to break yourself...... Why don't you get up and go find Ah Jiang to have a look!"
Ah Jiu fell to the ground and didn't get up.
Seeing her like this, I was really a little angry: "Don't you even listen to me now?"
"Ah Jiu didn't dare. Ah Jiu still lay on the ground, "It's just that today the master knows the truth, and the friendship between the master and Ah Jiu is afraid to ...... Gone are the same. β
"Young Master Yun told you that the Jiuli Sword is an ancient divine weapon, and those who get it can fly to become immortals or dominate the demons, so since Jiuli was born, the immortals and demons have been fighting endlessly. β
"But in addition to being a divine soldier, Jiuli also has another title, the magic swordβbecause it can bewitch people's hearts. Jiuli was born for more than a thousand years, and there are only thirteen masters. These thirteen, including you, are all immortal and demonic powers. But without exception, they were all bewitched by the magic sword, and the immortals became demons, and the demons became disasters. β
"Then my mother ......" I was shocked, I never thought it would be like this.
"Yes. Ah Jiu was finally willing to get up, but he still lowered his head, "Not only your mother, but also your maternal grandfather, they all lost their minds and went to the road of no return because they got the Jiuli Sword. β
Ah Jiu raised his head slowly, his face was mixed with tears, and only one pair of eyes were extraordinary: "The Moon Palace Lord is the only master I admire. Although she was also bewitched by Jiuli, at the last moment of becoming an evil demon, she found a way to seal Jiuli, and really sealed Jiuli. β
"And those immortals who are high and self-respecting, obviously practice hard, and ascension is just around the corner, but they would rather fall into the demon path for Jiuli or even become evil demons, and the greed in their hearts makes them unable to resist the temptation of Jiuli, let alone seal Jiuli. β
Ah Jiu saluted me again: "Although it is not Ah Jiu's intention, but Ah Jiu and Jiuli coexist as one, Jiuli harmed the lives of the master's two close relatives, and Ah Jiu is also unforgivable. β
Although I am sad about what happened to my mother and grandfather, I also know that I can't blame Ah Jiu for this. Jiuli is just a weapon in the final analysis, everything is still a choice made by himself, so since he has made a choice, it is no wonder.
"Do you want to get away with being locked up and confined like this?" I grimaced, "Have you forgotten what I just said?"
"Jiuli is my sword, and even the person who carries you is also mine. Without my permission, who allowed you to be locked up? Who allowed you to break your appearance? Now immediately go to Jiang Renzhi to see the injury on your forehead, lest you break your appearance and spend your sword when you get it. β
Ah Jiu was surprised and delighted in an instant: "The master ......"
"Let's call me Xiaobai, this master sounds awkward to death. I glared at her, "Don't go yet, I'll be dead when my sword is gone." β
Ah Jiu quickly stood up, trotted all the way to the door, and turned around and smirked at me when he got to the door: "This little injury won't affect it!"
Hey, this stupid girl.
After Ah Jiu went out, my expression became solemn.
Although I accidentally learned about the relationship between Jiuli and my family, I asked Ah Jiu about Jiuli's former owner, and my original intention was only to determine one thing:
Jiuli's previous owner was my mother.
Just now, Jiang Renzhi couldn't bear to see me suffering, and I suddenly remembered something that I had ignored before.
I remember Ah Jiu telling me about my "life deeds", and there was a paragraph that read, "I went to the abyss to pull out the sealed Jiuli Sword and released the son of the Demon King." β
Before, my attention was on the first half, and the thing I ignored was that Yun Beichen, the son of the Demon King, and the Demon Sword Jiuli were sealed together in the abyss.
It was the mother who sealed the Jiuli Sword, and the person who sealed Yun Beichen could only be the mother.
But why?
What kind of place is the abyss, the place where the grievances of thousands of dead people gather, there is no vitality but death, and it is by no means a good place. What mother would seal her child and a broken sword there and never see the light of day?
Even friends can ache for your pain, so how can a mother ruthlessly seal her child into the abyss?
When you think about it, there are really a lot of things you can't figure out.
For example, Ah Jiu said that I was brought back to Tianyu Mountain by Mo Min Xian's sealed memory, and after dormant for several years, I finally found an opportunity to go to the abyss, pulled out the Jiuli sword, and rescued Yun Beichen.
But now that my memory has been sealed, how do I know that I still have a younger brother waiting to be saved?
For another example, I escaped from the Immortal Gate with Yun Beichen and went to the Demon Realm to found the Innocent Gate.
But why didn't I set up the Four Great Commanders and leave a place for my own brother?
Finally, it seems that my relationship with Yun Beichen's sister and brother should be very close, so why did he live alone in such a remote Liuyun Peak before, and after getting drunk last time, he asked me with a little grievance why I didn't go to see him for a long time?
I exiled him to a remote peak where I couldn't even see the Temple of Evil, and I didn't see him for a long time.
Obviously he is my dearest and dearest, why did I alienate him to such an extent at that time?
