Chapter 136: Apprenticeship to the Azure Realm
Alui thought well, but things didn't go so smoothly.
According to her plan, the first thing she did when she returned to Rong Mansion was to find Rong Qi's father and say that she should not go to the Azure Realm, and then she was sent to the small black house.
Ah Lu didn't expect that Rong Qi's father didn't even give him a chance to explain, and directly slapped his daughter. Ah Lu touched his hot face, and he was indignant in his heart. Didn't you say that you were raising a wild man? Could it be that you actually wanted to produce a filial son under the stick? If this was the case, Ah Lu had to sympathize with Rong Qi.
So Ah Lu was locked in a small black room, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. And after she failed to kick the door for the tenth time, Rong Qi's father entered the small black room and analyzed the situation with her earnestly.
This way of teaching her children Ah Lu really didn't expect it, how old is Rong Qi, you just tell her this?
The old father said so much just one thing, for the sake of the powerful position of the Rong clan, the matter of the Heavenly Blue Realm could not allow her to resist.
Although Empress Rong's eldest son has been made the crown prince. But as the other princes approached adulthood, his position was certainly threatened.
The emperor is now obsessed with the art of immortality all day long, and he is becoming more and more indifferent to Rong Hou, who is trying to dissuade him from abiding by the rules. And the children of the imperial concubine, although they have no hope of being on the throne because of their foreign blood, but they have military power in their hands, and a group of concubines who want to cross the Rong family are secretly crazy to win over the imperial concubine is nothing more than to have more strong support when they seize the throne in the future.
And the Xiahou clan is not to mention. In their eyes, the Huangfu clan is a foreign race, and their Rong clan is a foreign race. In order to prevent their relatives from ascending to the throne, they have tried all kinds of methods and means over the years, laughing openly and hiding knives in secret, that is, they can't let any of their relatives tilt towards the opposition. Although the Rong family also married with the Xiahou family, so far no girl who has married outside has been able to obtain a passable status in Xiahou Mansion.
Ah Lu listened to Rong Qi's father's words, and couldn't help it: "Empress Rong secretly planned the destruction of Shangguan Mansion, and now you want me to go to Tianqing Realm, worship under Xiahou Xuanmen, and have a relationship with Shangguan Haola, are you sure that this is for the Rong family's centennial honor and not for self-defeat?"
When Rong Qi's father heard her mention this, he immediately sank his face: "Tell you what?"
Oh, it's a shame! Rong Qi was still young when this happened, she shouldn't have known! Hey, forget it, it's all said. Besides, refuting his father on this ground is more convincing than any other argument. So Alu said, "I overheard it." ”
However, Rong Qi's father's reaction was completely opposite to what Ah Lu imagined, he put away his surprise and turned to an approving look: "It seems that what the queen mother said is right, she can kill her mother's daughter, and she is indeed talented and intelligent." ”
This...... What is this called? And when Rong Qi's father said this, what kind of eyes did he have? This is not the way a father looks at his daughter, but more like the look of a dog trainer in the dog farm when he sees the results of his training.
However, his words did not end here: "Since you already know about the affairs of Shangguan Mansion, it is better for your father to tell you more." The affairs of the Shangguan Mansion were indeed done by the queen mother. But this matter itself is also the meaning of Xiahou Taishi. ”
Ah Luxin said: I heard you right? Aren't Shangguan Mansion and Xiahou Mansion related to each other? Why do you want to do so much? What hatred and what hatred?
Rong Qi's father: "You don't need to know the reason. You just have to remember that the matter of Shangguan Mansion is that Xiahou Taishi borrowed a knife to kill people, and he still wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge after it is over. So the real culprit who killed Shangguan Hao's parents is Xiahou and has nothing to do with you. ”
Alu is not a fool, has nothing to do with me? It has nothing to do with me, and you still say it clearly...... Anyway, it must still be the play of those courtiers.
Since there is no way to change the matter of apprenticeship, I can only wait for the opportunity to try it after I get started.
The next day, Ah Lu and Rong Pei came down to Tianqing Mountain under the escort of the elders at home.
When Ah Lu arrived at Azure Town, he sighed in his heart that Tianqing Mountain had really not changed much in the past few decades, except that the seven peaks here were still firmly sitting on the mountainside a few decades ago. Then they went up the mountain, and there were many more Azure Realm disciples at this time than later, and it was simply overcrowded.
Under the recommendation of the elders in the family, Ah Lu met the so-called prince at the main gate of Tianqing Realm. It's not that she judges people by her appearance, the prince's appearance is not bad, but this arrogant posture makes people uncomfortable. No, seeing the two members of the Rong family, he just greeted Ah Lu lightly: "Second sister, I heard that you have been studying and practicing hard at home for the past few days, I don't know how you have practiced?" Don't embarrass me." ”
Ah Lu disdains and laughs in his heart, don't embarrass me!
Half an hour later, everyone entered Azure Square with a disciple, and an old man stood at the end of the square.
Judging from the clothes, this person is probably the head of Xuanling. Compared with the three Qingzi elders that Ah Lu had seen, the temperament of the head of Xuanling was much more serious. Where do you seem to have seen this kind of seriousness?
Alyu pondered for a long time, yes, Lord Xiahou! Yes, yes, Prime Minister Zuo and that Lord Shangshu also looked like a serious and old man. It's really worthy of being from a family, and the temperament is exactly the same.
But look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is now on the field, my God, what kind of fist embroidered leg is this? Even if you don't cultivate into a simple sword dance that can't spell, you shouldn't trip yourself up, right?
Allu really wanted to laugh, but unfortunately there were serious faces all around, and she could only silently bow her head to hide the twitching corners of her mouth.
Compared with Ah Lu, the head of Xuanling is much more unfazed. After reading the sword of the prince's four dislike with an expressionless face, he commented solemnly. What is light and delicate, relaxed and moderate, it is simply treating others as blind. If it weren't for the fact that Ah Lu really learned something a few days ago, maybe he would have really believed him.
But being able to open your eyes and talk nonsense, or in front of so many people, is also a skill. I don't know if in addition to spells, the Azure Realm also cultivates sophistry.
Just as Alu was secretly laughing at the crown prince, she felt a hot gaze cast on her. Turning her head from the afterglow, Alu saw someone in the crowd next to her peeking at her.
Ah Lu tilted his head slightly, and the man immediately withdrew his gaze. Although he didn't see the appearance clearly, based on the way he turned his head, Ah Lu guessed that it should be Huangfu Li. Sure enough, the named Taoist called out Huangfu Li's name, and that person came out of the team.
Today's Huangfu Li has obviously dressed up deliberately, unlike the boy in rough clothes and sweat he saw at the back door that day, he is not much worse than the prince today. On the contrary, because of the ethnic advantages and the perennial practice of martial arts, he seems to be more energetic than the prince. Of course, the same is true of his knife skills.
Huangfu Li's skills attracted a round of applause from all around, and the boy's face that was originally tense due to nervousness gradually relaxed, showing the pride unique to children.
Ah Lu even heard an elder on the side whisper: "This kid from the Huangfu family is amazing." His sword technique is very similar to the full moon flying flower that has been lost for many years. If it is taken away by the Azure Realm today, with the immortal method and the knife method, it will become a great weapon in time. ”
What is the full moon and flying flowers? Alu asked the man tentatively. It just so happened that this person came late, and he didn't know this face, so he didn't know that she was from the Rong family, so he introduced: "Full Moon Flying Flower is a famous set of knife techniques in Xiguan more than ten years ago. The knife has long been known for its domineering and tough, but this set of swords seems to be a sword dance under the moon, and every move is a gentleman; ”
The man saw that Ah Lu didn't understand very well, and continued to explain: "Martial artists know that swords are different, if the sword is like a sword, holding a sword to make a sword can only be seen as a strange but not practical; ”
To be honest, Ah Lu still doesn't quite understand. However, his affirmation of the emperor's gravel was understood.
The man had probably seen this knife technique with his own eyes, and he couldn't stop as soon as the conversation box opened: "It's a pity, the full moon flying flower is too demanding for the swordsman's temperament when he practices." Although the knife score is not difficult to find, once the swordsman who created this set of knife techniques died, I never heard of anyone who could make it. If Huangfu Li's practice is really full moon and flying flowers, the Heavenly Blue Realm can be regarded as going to the right place. The Azure Realm cultivates the spiritual path, and their mental skills are the strongest. If you can be included in the door and exercise your mind well, even if you don't practice the full moon and flying flowers in the future, you will be a talent who can penetrate the sword. ”
However, what others didn't expect was that the head of Xuanling announced on the spot that Huangfu Li could not get started: "With such outstanding sword skills at such an age, it must be the result of diligent practice day and night, if you join the army in the future, the Central Plains border will definitely be more stable." It's a pity that although the knife technique is good, it is different from the Xuanmen of the rivers and lakes after all. Emperor Gongzi, with all due respect, you don't have the talent to cultivate. ”
The words of the head of Xuan Ling made the whole square quiet. Those who are surprised are surprised, those who are indifferent are indifferent, and there are those who hide behind people and sneer, snicker, and feel at ease.
Ah Lu saw the boy bow his head, and after a while, he bowed politely to the head of Xuan Ling, and then retreated into the crowd until he was drowned. She thought to herself that it was from here that the Huangfu gravel began to drill the tip of the horns, so she stepped forward to comfort him while people were not paying attention.
However, when she passed through the crowd, she saw Huangfu Li wiping tears in a woman's arms, and Ah Lu stopped in shock. She's not mistaken, is this crying nose? The murderous and unblinking emperor is crying his nose?
The woman saw "Rong Qi" patting the Huangfu Gravel in her arms, and the Huangfu Gravel turned around and saw that it was her, immediately wiped her eyes dry, and then saluted her respectfully: "I've seen Miss Rong." ”
Alu: "You know me?"
Huangfu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed: "At the full moon banquet of the eighth princess, we have met." ”
Seeing that he had just been hit, Ah Lu hurriedly rescued the scene: "I have been to the full moon banquet of the eighth princess?"
Boy, it's not that I don't remember you, I don't remember anything.
Sure enough, when Huangfu Li heard her say this, his gloomy expression suddenly lit up, although there was a little doubt.
Ryu: "I'm sorry, I might ......"
Huangfu Li: "Miss Rong doesn't have to be sorry, it's not a big deal." If you can't remember it, you can't remember it. Oh, I haven't congratulated Miss Rong for entering the world's first immortal gate. ”
Alu: "What is there to congratulate. ”
Huangfu Li and the woman behind him were surprised to hear her disdainful tone.
Alyu: "Oh yes, I just want to tell you that your sword skills are very good. Even if you don't enter the azure or any Xuanmen, you can make a difference if you practice hard. No matter how powerful the immortal cultivators are, they have never seen them on the battlefield to repel foreign enemies. ”
Huangfu Li's eyes widened slightly, unable to believe his ears.
Ah Lu: "Really! Think about it, when you were fighting in Dongguan, there were any masters of any sect or faction who volunteered to help? It can only be said that there is a specialization in the art industry, maybe the Xuanmen is not suitable for you, but the Jiangmen is not suitable for them either, right? No one is more powerful than the other, and even if there is, I think you are the best. ”
Huangfu Li was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then suddenly laughed.
Ah Lu was embarrassed, although she said that she really hoped that Huangfu Li could see it and not be obsessed with it. But even if you really want to laugh at it, you won't laugh like this, right?
Huangfu Li smiled for a long time before returning to normal, but then he still sank his face and looked unhappy.
But the woman behind him said: "Thank you Miss Rong for affirming, the emperor will live up to the trust of the emperor and queen." ”
After saying that, the two of them saluted her together. Then he turned around and went down the mountain.
Ah Lu looked at Huangfu Li's lost appearance, and he didn't know if what he said just now had a role. At this time, a young man wearing a azure disciple uniform hurriedly skipped the mother and son of the emperor, and Ah Lu looked at it casually and was dumbfounded.
This...... This...... This looks like Dong Junqin! Really! This is what Dong Junqin looked like when he was a child!
What is going on with Rong Qi's memory? Not only can Ah Lu walk and talk in her memory, but now even Dong Junqin, an acquaintance in reality, also appears in Rong Qi's memory?
The young man looked flustered and hurried, there should be something urgent. Ah Lu unconsciously followed him, but saw that another disciple beside the teleportation array not far away was even more anxious than him: "Shangguan, why have you been there for so long!
Shangguan Alu paused, this is Shangguan Hao, the later Bai Yuan Immortal?
Ah Lu had never seen a Bai Yuan Immortal, and she was not sure if Dong Junqin's appearance when he was young was similar to that of this Bai Yuan Immortal when he was young. If so, then it can be explained that she misunderstood. It would be strange if it weren't.
So Ah Lu followed again, stepping into the teleportation array before the two disappeared.
Coming out of the teleportation array, Ah Lu glanced around, this was the Yin-Yang Cave from decades ago. Except that there was no gazebo, it was no different.
Ah Lu and the two of them entered the Yinyang Cave, only to see a girl lying on the familiar stone platform. The girl's face turned black, her lips turned purple, and her body trembled as if she had had a mad attack.
On the other side of the stone platform, an elderly man in his forties was healing his wounds.
This breath is so familiar.
The elder's fingers ran over the girl's calf, and then a black breath slowly soared through her cloth: "Are you here?" ”
Shangguan Hao obediently did so, and then the elder conjured ten silver needles out of nowhere and pierced the girl's back.
Oh! This is the Xuanqing Immortal! Ah Lu remembered! His gesture when he applied the needle was exactly the same as Dong Junqin!
I didn't expect Bai Yuan Immortal to ...... when he was young It's not old yet.
After the Xuanqing Immortal pricked the needle, his two fingers pressed against the girl's spine all the way down, and the black gas became more and more intense, until it reached the tail vertebrae. At this time, he suddenly withdrew his hand, but said sharply to Shangguan Hao: "Hold her down, don't let go." ”
Hearing this, another disciple also came to help. The moment the two held down the girl, the Xuanqing Immortal copied it with both hands, and then punched ten silver needles into the girl's body with one palm in the air.
The girl who was originally angry screamed instantly, her body writhed wildly, and the two boys almost couldn't hold it down.
Seeing that they were about to get rid of it, Alu stepped forward and held the girl's legs down.
This girl is Shangguan Yi and didn't run away. Hearing them talk about this person before, Ah Lu just sighed casually that her life was miserable. Now seeing her suffer from thousands of stitches at such a young age, I can't help but feel sad for her no longer has no heart or lungs.
At about the time of the tea, the Xuanqing Immortal snorted and pulled out the silver needle with one hand. Shangguan Yi turned from screaming to wailing, and finally like a moan before death.
Xuanqing Immortal: "The yin poison is cleared, but the foundation of her body has been destroyed, and I have no power to return to the sky." ”
Shangguan Hao helped his sister lie down, and then knelt in front of Xuanqing Immortal: "Uncle Shi, please save her, I only have this one relative left." I don't want her to go back to normal, as long as she lives, she lives. ”
Ah Lu has been following Dong Junqin for so long, she knows very well that Dong Junqin said that if it can't be cured, there must be no way. Therefore, she believed that Dong Junqin's master, Xuan Qing Immortal, shook his head and tried his best.
However, according to later events, although Shangguan Yi is not in good health, she has an elder brother who will protect her life even if she deceives the world, which helped her avoid the chaos of the family, and a husband who is willing to become a demon for her, and this life is not in vain.
Xuanqing Immortal: "Hey, do you know how much she suffers in her body to live?"
At this time, Alu muttered, "Everyone who lives in the world will suffer." Even if you die, it's not reincarnated and suffering again, what's the difference. ”
The three of them looked at each other in surprise and asked in unison, "Who are you?"
Ah Lu was embarrassed and said, "I...... It's Rong Qi ......"
Hearing this, the unknown disciple was surprised: "Rong Qi, why are you here? Didn't you follow them to the disciple's courtyard?"
"Well, I was walking down the road and you looked panicked, thinking that something was wrong, and I wanted to see if I needed help. "Alu lied casually.
The three of them didn't study it carefully, and the Xuanqing Immortal waved his hand at the three of them: "That's it, it's useless for you to stay here, let's go back first." If Shangguan Yi wakes up, I will send someone to inform you. ”
Xuanqing Immortal's words could be regarded as a relief to Shangguan Hao, and he immediately kowtowed: "Thank you Uncle for your treatment." ”
The three of them left the Yin-Yang Cave, and Ah Lu aimed at Guan Hao from time to time. It's so similar, the most special look with a sad face full of sorrow is exactly the same as Dong Junqin a few days ago!
Shangguan Hao felt Ah Lu's gaze, put away his emotions and turned suspicious: "Miss Rong, why are you always staring at me?"
Ah Lu thought about it and decided to ask: "Do you know a person named Dong Junqin?"
Shangguan Hao looked dazed, he looked at the other disciple, and saw that the person didn't know why, so he replied: "Miss Rong, I don't know any Dong Junqin below." I don't know why you're asking this?"
Ah Lu: "You really don't know anyone, you don't know anyone surnamed Dong......?" How could it be ......"
At this time, the disciple said: "Sister Rong Qi, Shangguan doesn't have the heart to have a relationship with you now, so don't be stubborn." ”
Alyu was embarrassed: "Who is stubborn about the relationship? Is it necessary for me? Who knows if this relationship is a blessing or a curse......
This last sentence is naturally in his mouth and does not say it explicitly. But Shangguan Hao's face doesn't look like he can continue to talk now.
Ah Lu thought, since Shangguan Hao can't do it for the time being, why don't you start with Shangguan Yi?
