Chapter 677: A Cruel Choice
Yun Xiaoye listened to Han Xuemei's words, and his heart was shocked, and he looked at the woman in front of him who he was once most familiar with. οΌ . . οΌ
The goose-yellow clothes fluttered in the wind, and the snow-white length was as long as silk, decorating her demeanor.
This fairy, who has only sought the way of heaven since he was a child and does not ask about the world, did not expect that he would care about the ownership of the supreme position of the future head of Shu Mountain.
Looking at her serious expression and quiet and beautiful face, Yun Xiaoxie's heart gradually sank.
Especially when she heard from her mouth about the fact that six hundred years ago, the six veins of Shushan had forced the palace reincarnation peak, which shocked her even more.
It seems that between the six veins and seven peaks of Shu Mountain, which has been quiet for thousands of years, there seems to be an undercurrent surging and flowing.
Even the successive head candidates of the Reincarnation Peak, the six veins and seven peaks will secretly intervene, and it seems that the turbulence of this undercurrent is far beyond his imagination.
On the contrary, as for the incident of the six veins forcing the palace six hundred years ago, he was not too shocked, because many years ago, when he was young, he vaguely remembered that his father and mother had mentioned this matter when they were talking.
It was a long, long time ago, when Yun Xiaoxie was only four or five years old, he didn't remember it very clearly, but he did remember that when his father and mother were talking, he did say that six hundred years ago when the six veins forced the palace to reincarnate the peak.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the public case back then still remains between the reincarnation peak and the six veins.
He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and slowly looked at the blue sky.
Said: "Xuemei, you really surprised me today, I don't intend to compete for the supreme position, I just want to be a carefree cultivator, I know that I have a few catties and a few taels, I don't have the ability to take charge of a sect, let alone that ambition." I didn't expect it, it turns out that you all secretly want me to compete for this supreme position, in fact, as long as I don't want to, no matter how hard others try, it won't help, the senior brother has watched me grow up since I was a child, although his city is deeper, but he is kind and mellow, and in the past ten years, my father has taken care of the affairs of the reincarnation peak in an orderly manner, and I won't fight with him for anything, because I don't want to see the Xuanbi incident ten years ago re-staged in Shushan, understand. β
Han Xuemei stared at Yun Xiaoxie's face, her body moving slightly.
When she said these words today, she was ordered by her mentor Master Yunshui to secretly test Yun Xiaoxie's ambitions.
With what she knew about him, Nature's Dao Yun Xiaoye had been extremely ambitious and stubborn since he was a child, and if he had the opportunity to approach or obtain that supreme position, he would definitely not hesitate.
Unexpectedly, in Yun Xiaoxie's heart, she just wanted to be a free and scattered immortal, and she was not interested in the supreme position at her fingertips, which really surprised her.
She hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "In the past few decades, the competition for the future successor of the head must have become more and more intense, and then you will understand that even if you don't have this mind, the people around you will definitely do their best to push you to the supreme position, it's not too early, and the debate in the reincarnation hall is almost over, let's go back." β
In the hall of reincarnation, this debate between the righteous path and the demon sect on the way of heaven did not end, but at dusk, a few hours later, the two sides died down.
This debate is of epoch-making significance, it is the first face-to-face dialogue between the righteous path and the demon sect in thousands of years, although the demon sect participating in this time is only a small netherworld sect, but it will play a very important role in promoting the future development trend of the righteous path and the demon sect in the future.
Due to the late day, the people of the Kunlun Sect and the Demon Sect all stayed in the Reincarnation Peak and lived for the time being.
Xiaoya originally came to treat Yun Xiaoyi and Li Tielan, so she naturally had to stay on the reincarnation peak for a few days.
The Kunlun faction stayed for a few days, mainly because of the strong invitation of Yun Canghai.
After all, Shushan is the number one faction of the righteous path, so what is the matter with many masters of the Demon Sect in Shushan? In order to avoid giving the world the pretext of colluding with the Demon Sect, the people of the Kunlun Sect were also left in the Reincarnation Peak, which can be regarded as circumstantial evidence.
At dusk, in addition to the first seat of the Jade Girl Peak in the first seat of the six veins, the first seat of the other veins all participated in the grand dinner in Jingyu Tower, and the people who accompanied them were all figures of the elder generation of Shushan, as for the elite disciples such as Yun Xiaoxi, although they also had the title of elder, they were not qualified to accompany these distinguished guests.
When Yun Xiaoye returned to the small courtyard, the sky had already darkened, and what Han Xuemei said to him today disturbed his calm heart.
Back in the courtyard, the lights in Li Ziye's room were not yet on, and he must have not come back yet, but his room was brightly lit, he pushed open the door and walked in, and found that in addition to his wife Li Tielan leaning on the bed, the eighth princess Li Wanjun and the little princess Zhou Xiaodie were also in the room.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao come back, Li Wanjun sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, you're back, then Fluttershy and I will go out to play." β
Yun Xiaoye rolled his eyes and said, "What are you running around at night? The people from the Demon Sect and the Kunlun Sect have been on this Reincarnation Peak for the past few days, so don't run around blindly with the two of you." β
"Knowing my brother-in-law, it's really verbose!"
Li Wanjun snorted and pulled Zhou Xiaodie out of the room, without the noble demeanor of a princess at all.
Li Tielan shook her head with a wry smile and said, "The eighth sister is so old, and she is still like a child, which is really worrying." β
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled: "What are you worried about her?
Li Tielan smiled bitterly again, but did not continue to dwell on this topic.
Said: "I heard that there are people in Kunlun and the Demon Sect today, nothing happened." β
Yun Xiaoxiao said: "It's okay, although we have a deep grudge between the righteous path and the Demon Sect, but Xiaoya handed over the mountain worship sticker this time to dissolve the poison of the Ice Yin Gu for you and me, and our Shushan will naturally not be lazy." β
Li Tielan nodded slightly, but she didn't have much joy, as if life and death were just a trivial matter in her mind.
The two talked for a while, Li Tielan was thoughtful, and saw that Yun Xiaoye seemed to be a little worried.
Then he said: "Little evil, what's wrong with you?
Yun Xiaoxie sighed, seemed absent-minded, and it took a long time to react: "What did you say?"
Seeing this, Li Tielan was even more sure that something must have happened, otherwise her husband would not have been a little distracted.
Then he said: "Little evil, did you encounter something today, why do you look absent-minded?"
Yun Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and then felt that since he had talked to Han Xuemei about that, he was indeed confused.
At this moment, his wife saw that he had something on his mind, he smiled bitterly, and said, "Tielan, you are from the royal family, there is one thing, maybe you can help me." β
Li Tielan slowly sat up straight on the bed and said, "What's the matter?"
Yun Xiaoxie took a long breath and told Li Tielan everything that Han Xuemei said to him on the top of the golden dome today, concisely.
After Li Tielan listened, her brows furrowed slightly, but she was not too surprised.
Yun Xiaoxie saw it in his eyes, his heart sank, and said, "Did you see it a long time ago?"
Li Tielan didn't deny it, but said: "Is there anything complicated about this? You are the son of the head of the family, you are outstanding in Taoism, and you have a wide range of contacts in the world, and it is reasonable to become a strong competitor for the next generation of Shushan leaders." β
Yun Xiaoxie's body trembled slightly, knowing that Li Tielan had actually seen it a long time ago, only he didn't know the inside story.
He said slowly, "However, I have never had such ambitions, and I have no interest in the supreme position. β
Li Tielan shook her head and said: "Many things are not something that you can decide whether you want to or not, in the mortal dust, there are countless things that are added to the yellow robe." Senior Sister Xuemei has a good saying, when the time is ripe, even if you don't want to, the people around you will push you forward, after all, the position of the head of the house is very important. Now it seems that if you participate in it, at least the three veins of Jade Girl Peak, Ziwei Peak and Tianhuo Peak will secretly support you, this is a force that can almost weigh the entire Shu Mountain, even in the Reincarnation Peak, in addition to the elders of the older generation, among the new elite disciples, Wang Budong and Zhu Gou will definitely not watch the position of head fall into the hands of the senior brother, especially Zhu Gou, he knows that he can't be alone, because of the incident of Xuanbi ten years ago, Zhu Gou and his senior brother Feng Yuanji, Guo Shuang and others were suppressed by Shushan, and you have a close relationship with him, in order to get rid of the shadow of Xuanbi, he will definitely help you to take the position at all costs. β
When Li Tielan said this, she suddenly paused, glanced at Yun Xiaoxie, who had a surprised expression, and continued: "Do you know how high Zhu Gou's status is in Shushan today? He has cultivated to an elder who has surpassed most of the older generation, and he also has the Ancient Sword of the Flowing Years in his hand, plus the giant beast White Tiger that he subdued in Death Ze half a year ago, and now his father personally inquired about the marriage with Senior Sister Linlang, and this matter is most likely to be successful, once he marries Senior Sister Linlang, then he will really leap into the sky, and he will become the most powerful arm for you to compete for the supreme position in the future." In fact, I have long seen that Daddy intends to support you to ascend to the throne, but the senior brother has a very high prestige in Shushan over the years, so Daddy is not in a hurry, but, judging from the recent things that Daddy asked Zhu Gou and Senior Sister Linlang, Daddy is already cultivating wings for you to assist you in the future. β
Yun Xiaoxie was stunned, but he didn't expect that Li Tielan had already seen the Tao in it.
He said: "If I become the next generation of Shushan leaders, what will happen to the senior brother? Could it be that the matter of Xuanbi will be repeated in my Shushan?"
Li Tielan shook her head slowly.
She has been fighting at the border for many years, and she is from the royal court, so the competition for power is naturally much higher than that of these Xiuzhen disciples in Shushan.
She shook her head and said: "Xiao Xie, you are so naΓ―ve sometimes, looking at the thousands of years of history in the world, whether it is the change of the throne of the dynasty or the change of the head of the sect, which time is not bloody and bloody, and the bones are like mountains?" After a few years, with the wisdom of the senior brother, he can naturally see the situation clearly, if he can retreat, it is naturally excellent, at least he can be an elder of Shushan for hundreds of years, if he can't see the situation clearly, he is too much chasing fame and fortune, I am afraid that the end will be more miserable than Xuanbi, Xiaoxie, whenever you have to remember, those who want to achieve great things must be informal, and sometimes they must not be benevolent, understand. As your wife, I don't want to watch you do things you don't like, but sometimes, it's really involuntary. β
The next day, early in the morning.
Personally accompanied by Yun Canghai, Purple Cloud Fairy, and Elder Shangguan, the Netherworld Sect Sect Leader Xiaoya, Mr. Ghost, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy of the Kunlun Sect came to the room where Yun Xiaoye lived.
Yun Xiaoye didn't expect Xiaoya to be in such a hurry to heal herself and Tielan, so she hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute.
"Daddy, come here so early?"
Yun Canghai said with a smile: "The Ghost King Sect Master is eager to save people, so I will accompany me." β
Yun Xiaoye hurriedly said to Xiaoya: "Thank you, little girl." β
Xiaoya said: "Yun Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, Yun Gongzi had a life-saving grace for me back then, but now Gongzi is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, I'll give you a pulse first." β
Yun Xiaoxie's room was not very big, except for a few seniors, everyone else was waiting outside.
Yun Xiaoxiao sat on the chair and stretched out his hand, Xiaoya's fingers lightly rested on his pulse, and his eyebrows gradually became solemn.
The people around saw Xiaoya's expression suddenly solemn, and they all felt a little bad, but no one dared to speak at this moment.
After a long time, Xiao Ya withdrew her hand and said, "Yun Gongzi's Taoism is profound, and the meridians in his body are different from ordinary people, and the poison of this Ice Yin Gu has not eroded the heart veins and can be resolved." β
When everyone heard this, they reacted and were overjoyed.
Xiao Ya said: "This Ice Yin Gu poison will attack once a month, and the last attack is almost a month ago, without further ado, please prepare for it." β
Yun Canghai said: "What are you going to prepare?"
Xiaoya said: "To dissolve this poison, there is only one way, that is, to transfer this poison to another creature, not to resolve it directly, and the creature transferred to it will definitely die, if it is a living person, the natural effect is the best, but your faction has always been chivalrous, if you use a living person to heal Yun Gongzi's injuries, I am afraid that Yun Zhangmen will not agree, and please prepare a few more Bashan apes for Yun Zhangmen." β
Yun Canghai nodded, and then ordered Gu Yufeng to immediately get some apes over.
Yun Xiaoyi saw that Xiaoya was so sure, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Little girl, please also take a look at Tielan." β
Xiaoya nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I decided to come, I will naturally not disappoint you." β
She walked to the bed, and Li Tielan, who was half-lying on the bed, nodded slightly, which was considered a salute.
Xiaoya sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Li Tielan's pulse, but it was only for a moment, Xiaoya's face suddenly changed.
Immediately, she got up and lost her voice: "Mo Evil Fairy's Ice Yin Gu ......"
Yun Xiaoye was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Little girl, what's the matter...... What's wrong. β
Xiaoya's face was solemn, and she shook her head and said, "When Sister Qiuyu went to the wilderness to find me, she just said that the two of you were caught in the Ice Yin Gu, but she didn't say that the Mo Evil Fairy was pregnant with Liujia. The Ice Yin Gu on your body can be transferred to the bodies of other creatures by transferring flowers and trees, but Mo Evil Fairy ...... She can't do it, if she forcibly transfers, the child in her womb will definitely not be protected, and under the miscarriage, the cold is so strong, she will be very prostration, and I can't guarantee whether she can hold on. β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the room, and everyone's faces changed suddenly.
Purple Cloud Fairy said hurriedly: "Little girl, thinking of your friendship with Xiao Xie for so many years, you must come to the rescue of Tielan." β
Xiaoya smiled bitterly at Purple Cloud Fairy and said, "Fairy, it's not that I don't want to save it, but ...... There's a lot at stake. β
Li Tielan, who was lying on the bed, was extremely pale.
She struggled to get up and said, "Little girl, I'm ...... My baby...... I can't afford to lose this child. β
Xiaoya and the others heard the voice and looked back.
Xiaoya said: "Mo Evil Fairy, I have two ways to get sick, one is that I can use the golden needle secret method to seal the cold poison in your body, maybe I can ensure that the child will be born safely after nine months, but this child is invaded by cold when the fetus moves, even if it is born, it must be weak and sick, and you will not be able to practice for the rest of your life, and you will definitely die when the time comes." Second, I will forcibly dissolve the cold poison in your body now, but this child will definitely not be able to be saved, and you will not be able to conceive a child in the future because of the root cause of the cold, although this method can have a chance to save your life, but the chance is only fifty percent, whether you can survive it, I can't be sure. As for whether you want to protect the child or the adult, you can deliberate. β
After speaking, Xiaoya never looked back, and strode out of Yun Xiaoxie's room, Mr. Ghost saw this, arched his hand to Yun Canghai and the others, and also walked out.
At this moment, the room was quiet, and everyone looked at Li Tielan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
This strong woman seemed to have suddenly lost all her courage, and her body began to tremble slightly.
A difficult multiple-choice question.
Keep the child, and the adult will surely die.
To keep an adult, not only will you lose the child in your womb, but you may not be able to conceive a child for the rest of your life.
For Li Tielan, this was the cruelest choice of her life, and it was also the darkest day.
She dreamed of giving birth to a boy and a girl for Yun Xiaoxie, but after she was really pregnant with his child, it was such a result.
Purple Cloud Fairy burst into tears, and after Yun Canghai quietly pulled it, she withdrew from the room, and in the end, only Yun Xiaoye and Li Tielan were left in the room.
Neither of them spoke, but Yun Xiaoxie's gaze gradually became gentle, and he slowly walked to the bed, and Li Tielan, who was lying on the bed, had already cried silently.
He reached out and slowly wiped the tears from her cheeks.
He said softly, "It doesn't matter, you'll be fine." β
Li Tielan slowly raised her head, and when she saw Yun Xiaoxie's gentle gaze, she suddenly couldn't suppress it anymore and threw herself into Yun Xiaoxie's arms.
"No, no, no...... We must keep our child, even if it is me......"
Yun Xiaoxiao gently patted Li Tielan's back, and said softly: "Our medical skills in Shushan are so powerful, as long as we can save our lives, we may not be able to conceive children in the future as Xiaoya said, Tielan, as long as people live, there is always hope, you must not give up, promise me, don't give up." β
"No, no......"
Li Tielan shook her head violently in Yun Xiaoxie's arms, and kept saying things like "It's not a pity for me to die, I must save our child".
Outside the courtyard, Xiaoya walked along the bluestone path with an indifferent face, and Mr. Ghost followed behind her.
"What you said is true?"
Xiaoya nodded and said: "Yes, Li Tielan is the mother of the Ice Yin Gu, and the poisoning is far deeper than Yun Xiaoxie, it is said that it can be resolved, but I didn't expect that she was pregnant, which is more difficult to do." β
Mr. Ghost said silently: "Actually, we didn't have to come, this Yun Xiaoxiao cultivated several volumes of Heavenly Books, and he was the number one enemy of my Holy Sect in the future......"
"Sir, you don't have to say much, you don't understand the meaning of the relationship between me and Yun Gongzi, in my heart, he will always be my good friend, not an enemy. β
"Hey. β
Mr. Ghost sighed and didn't speak again, but suddenly, Mr. Ghost babbled, looking at the few women who hurriedly came in front of him, the woman at the head was tall and fair-skinned, and she was seven or eight points similar to Li Tielan.
He was surprised: "This is ......"
Xiaoya looked up, and also saw Li Wanjun, and frowned: "Mo Evil Fairy...... No, no, this is the eighth princess Li Wanjun, I saw it ten years ago in Honglu Academy. When she grows up, how can she look so similar to Li Tielan?"
