Chapter 208: The Mountain of Smoke, the Land of Zhong Ling
The child Long Chan looked at the black stones that kept falling at his feet, and his heart was cold.
He thought that that person would take action to stop the big man's behavior, and at the worst of all, he would also take action to protect that space. The active volcano was the one who left her back then, and he didn't believe she would bear to let it be taken away by others.
But now it seems that everything is wrong with him. He should have thought that no matter how much she loved him back then, how could she protect his things after he abandoned her. No matter how kind she is, no matter how gentle she is, after such an unforgettable blow, will she still be the original person?
Long Chan tried to keep his eyes open, trying to take another look at the shadow hidden in the deepest part of his heart through the heavy rock rain, but the rising smoke obscured his vision, and he could only barely see a white phantom hovering in midair.
Looking at it, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a strange smile. Then he silently put Yue'er, who had recovered the spirit herb body beside him, into the cloth bag he carried, and then took off the cloak that was already riddled with holes on his body, and let those spars with red flames smash on his body, and the ensuing burning sensation made him feel a sense of relief for no reason.
This child was originally a dragon's blood tree growing on the edge of the cliff, because that person practiced and meditated under its shade all the year round, and only then was he contaminated with that trace of heaven and earth aura and transformed into a human form. Seeing that he was well-behaved and cute, that man accepted him as a tea boy, gave him the name Longchan, and passed on his own practice to him.
At first, he also worked hard, had no distractions, and just wanted to follow in that person's footsteps.
Until one day, a beautiful and unearthly beauty inadvertently broke into the cliff of their life. From the moment he saw her, he suddenly didn't want to be a child, but wanted to be a son as gentle as that person. He cultivated very hard and tried his best to grow up, so he secretly left the two of them and hid in an abyss to concentrate on cultivation, and the suffering and sins he suffered were probably only known to him in his own heart.
Finally, he grew up and grew into a handsome boy like that person. He happily returned to the edge of the cliff, only to see two figures snuggled together.
He stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to turn away or come up to greet him. Just when he was undecided, the woman turned her head as if she was sensitive, and when she saw Yushu in the wind, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, and said, "Tong'er, you're back!" Her voice seemed to carry an indescribable power, making him unable to take a step again.
From that moment on, he knew he couldn't do without. Even if he is just a tea boy, he is willing to guard her side. So he also laughed and said loudly, "Yes, I'm back!"
Long Chan's consciousness gradually began to blur, and the words that the person had warned him when he passed on the exercises to him suddenly appeared in front of his eyes: Tong'er, since you can comprehend and enlighten the mind, it is your creation, everything in the world has its laws, all you have to do is to concentrate on cultivation. Don't rush for quick success, let alone take shortcuts, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and when you get it, you may lose more.
"The boy knows it's wrong!" he muttered.
The figure in mid-air just looked at him silently, neither scolding nor pity, and the chill in his eyes was felt even by Long Chan in the flames.
He suddenly raised his head, looked at the figure in the air, and said loudly, "I know that I deserve death." Before I die, I only hope that my master can accept this Qixia grass, and with it, my master will be able to repair the spirit body as soon as possible, and I will have more certainty when the day of the opening of the gate of heaven comes. ”
The figure in mid-air just looked at him silently, and had no intention of answering at all.
Long Chan waited for a long time without getting a response, and he knew that that person even hated him, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He could already clearly feel the loss of Jing Yuan, knowing that his time was running out, if he couldn't let that person accept this Qixia Grass before it disappeared, then all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I know you hate me, and you don't even want to talk to me." But Kong Qing asked me to bring you a few words, don't you want to hear it?"
Before the words fell, the magma in the sky suddenly stopped, as if it was still, or stopped in mid-air, or sealed in the crater of the volcano.
Immediately after, a faint figure appeared, and there was still a thin layer of smoke around her, and she could only barely see that she was wearing a white gauze dress, and she could not see her face clearly.
When Long Chan saw her, he only felt a bang in his head, and he forgot everything in an instant, and only the haunting figure in his eyes was there.
The woman looked at the child, who was no longer human, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and asked aloud, "What did he say?"
Long Chan hurriedly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said: "After the master ran away in a bad mood, he stood on the edge of the cliff for seven days and seven nights without moving, and I vaguely heard him say, 'It is not necessarily a pity to ask for it. ’”
"That's it?"
He peeked at the shadow in mid-air, although the other party covered it up well, but how could he not see that her heart was in turmoil after hundreds of years of companionship. Hearing the other party's question, he hurriedly said, "Of course it's more than that." He also said that in his eyes, there was no difference between a human and a demon. He has never looked down on you, you have always been unable to think about it......" At this point he paused, with an expression of wanting to say something.
The figure floated up to the child and said lightly, "Say, what else did he say that I don't like to hear?" ”
"Yes!" Long Chan said hurriedly, "he said, 'Her worst enemy has always been herself.'" ”
"The biggest enemy is yourself!" the woman in the mist muttered the words, her voice trembling slightly. Long Chan just lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, gradually her voice became lower and lower, and finally she suddenly sighed faintly, "What's the use of talking about this now, it's too late." ”
Long Chan raised his head and his lips squirmed twice, but he still spoke, "It's not too late. ”
The woman seemed extremely tired and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, you don't have to say anything." ”
"Yes!" Long Chan hurriedly took out a piece of parchment from his arms, untied the cloth bag and handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is what I took out of the hilt of that small sword, which said that on the day the gate of heaven was opened, the master only needed to use the power of the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, and then cooperate with the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui to hide the Heavenly Eye and ascend." ”
"The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui!" the woman suddenly laughed and said coldly, "Long Chan, I haven't seen you for so many years, I'm really getting smarter." This pearl of the Marquis of Sui is my inner dan, if you can use it to hide the eye of the sky, do you think I would suffer this catastrophe a thousand years ago?"
Long Chan was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The master is angry, Tong'er doesn't know that this spiritual creature that has been passed down for thousands of years is actually the master's Neidan, if he knows, he will definitely not dare to fight its idea." ”
The woman suddenly waved her hand, threw out a crystal clear elixir, and said, "Eat it!"
"Yes!" Long Chan picked up the pill and threw it into his mouth without the slightest hesitation.
The woman watched his movements and said, "Although it was a capital crime for you to break into the mountain with that group of waste, but if you protect this Red Flame Mountain and this Tianli Sword, I will spare you from death." ”
Long Chan was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the master's grace of not killing!"
"Don't be too happy!" the woman said with a sudden cold voice, "I have seen everything you have done over the years. Three hundred years ago, at the critical juncture of my cultivation, I was able to merge with my physical body and restore my former strength. If it weren't for you snooping on the heavenly machine without authorization to provoke the eye of heaven to open in advance, how could I be forced to ...... Thankfully, my spirit was saved thanks to the noble man's rescue. So, what you have suffered is deserved, don't expect to be grateful to me. ”
Long Chan was stunned, he never knew that there were these untold stories behind the heavenly punishment three hundred years ago. The most difficult thing for him to accept was that he actually implicated her, and his heart twitched involuntarily at the thought that his mistake almost caused her to fall.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly he thought of something, a hateful look burst out in his eyes, and the fists on the ground clenched unconsciously, clenching harder and harder, which directly caused the scars on his arms and body to crack, and the tearing pain made him sober up a little.
The woman suddenly said, "Forget it, you were also deceived, so I can't blame you." ”
Long Chan hissed, "Yes!"
The woman suddenly changed her words and said, "Keep this Qixia grass for yourself, it's not easy for her to follow you all these years." You don't have to worry about my earthly reincarnation, I will send someone to protect it. The aura here has leaked out, and it is not suitable to stay any longer, so you can go to Mount Tai to cultivate by yourself, and I will look for you when necessary. With a flick of her sleeves, the figure quickly disappeared in place, along with her, along with the volcano containing the red flame spar and the small sword named Tianli.
Long Chan silently said 'take care' in his heart, then grabbed the cloth bag and parchment on the ground, and rushed down the mountain without looking back.
As he ran, his figure grew taller and bigger, until at last he became a handsome young man with a face like a crown of jade, and his long flowing hair fluttered in the wind. Although he had lost a lot this time, he actually had a faint smile on his face at the moment.
For him, it was enough to know that she was well!
The woman's figure reappeared in mid-air, looked at his tall back and sighed: "This Golden Yuan Pill should be regarded as a little compensation for you!"
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the sky had gradually revealed a faint glow. In the glow, the dense fog shrouded in the smoke of the mountain gradually dissipated, and this beautiful peak finally revealed the original green of the mountain, which looked particularly green under the reflection of the glow.
