202. a leading edge
At this time, somewhere dozens of miles away from Chang'an.
The cloud rudder, which had gathered the attention of countless people, was moored here, and on the deck, several figures were separated, standing or sitting, and their faces were not the same.
Yun'er, who was not very accustomed to the silent atmosphere around her, was obviously a little impatient, and gently tugged at the corner of Tang Ling's clothes beside her: "Ling, what are you going to do now?"
Tang Ling rarely didn't make a gag, but said briefly: "I'll watch it when Yueyao finishes her work." β
Ever since the masked man was subdued by Xiao Jing, even Tang Ling was greatly surprised by his identity, and after probing the state of his body, the face of the Creation Spirit was rarely gloomy.
The spiritual consciousness was erased, the soul was shattered, and all the memories of the first half of his life were blank, leaving only the instinct to fight and win. Although with the ability of the spirit of creation, it is indeed a matter of effort to repair his broken soul, and it is not difficult to even restore his spiritual sense, but the memory of his life has been erased, even if Tang Ling's magical powers are extensive, it is impossible to return this to the old state. Therefore, after the investigation, Tang Ling took action to nourish his already broken soul, and at the same time ordered Xiao Jing to invite Wang Yueyao over, hoping to rely on the unique magical power of Tianxingmen to let him regain his past memories.
The pair of siblings who were restless not far away were even more anxious at the moment.
Wang Yueyao has not moved for a long time, and Jiutian is already very anxious, and when she heard Tang Lingyun'er's questions and answers, she couldn't hold back a little bit, and asked: "Can that Wang Yueyao really save my father?"
"If even the descendants of the Heavenly Star Gate are helpless, then the six clans of heaven and earth are all capable people, and your father has no possibility of recovery, and he can only become a stranger with no past and a confused future in the future. Tang Ling replied calmly, but then muttered again, "But Yueyao's skills are still shallow now, and it is still unknown how much time it will take." β
Jiutian was silent for a while after hearing this, and did not continue to ask. After all, his father had been rescued, and it was an unexpected joy to have the spirit of creation to ensure his life. Now she has invited the new sage of Tianxingmen to restore his memory for him, no matter what the final result is, she shouldn't be too long-winded.
I don't know how long it took, but at this moment, it was already night, and I saw a gentle figure finally walking onto the deck, although her face was a little tired, but also a little relieved.
Seeing Wang Yueyao appear, Jiutian and Xiao Jing immediately greeted him.
Although she was rebellious in nature, Jiutian always knew that the seemingly delicate girl in front of her had done her best to recover her father, so she couldn't help but be polite in her tone: "Yueyao...... Girl, I wonder what happened to my father?"
"The forcible erasure of the spiritual consciousness and the loss of all memories are not something that can be restored in a moment. I poured into his soul with the method of returning to the fate of the Heavenly Star Gate, so that he could regain the karma of this life in his sleep, and when he woke up, he should be able to recover some of his past memories, but because his soul had been broken for many years and had just been repaired, I had no idea how long he would sleep now. Wang Yueyao sighed, "It's a pity that Yueyao's skills are still shallow, so she can only do this, if the teacher is still alive, maybe Ling Zun will be cured in a few days." β
Although Wang Yueyao claimed that the curative effect was very small, the Jiutian sisters and brothers finally saw hope, so they were still grateful to her. At this time, Tang Ling also stepped forward with Yun'er: "Tiangang's destiny has ended, and it is a certain number to inherit the mantle and bowl to be reincarnated after passing on the mantle to you." But the exercises you are doing today have already exceeded my expectations, so there is really no need to be presumptuous. β
After that, he said to Yun'er again: "Xiao Jing and Yueyao are too tired today, you take them to rest first, I still have a few questions to answer in nine days." β
Yun'er obediently said "oh", and then took Xiao Jing and Wang Yueyao to the cabin room.
At this time, on the deck, only Tang Ling and Jiutian were left alone. Tang Ling didn't beat around the bush, and asked indifferently: "Tell me the whole story." β
Although the tone was flat, Jiutian had already heard a little solemnity, and exhaled deeply, and then said: "You should know that Xiao Jing and I are not blood relatives. β
Tang Ling nodded.
As a demon clan, she has been cultivating for hundreds of years in nine days, so naturally she can't be Xiao Jing's biological sister. The relationship between them is mostly just a righteous brother and sister, but this is not the point after all, so Tang Ling did not ask about this issue. But Jiutian didn't intend to pass this one, but as if he had met a rare confidant, he started with her beginning: "I was born with spiritual consciousness six hundred years ago, entered the path of cultivation, was taken in by the Jiluo Patriarch, and taught me the cultivation techniques of the demon clan. Before that, I didn't even know what race I belonged to, who my biological parents were, and I didn't even know my own race......"
Tang Ling listened quietly, since he learned from the mouth of the God Emperor that day, he had already known the origin of the One Soul and Four Bodies. The human body Yun'er and the immortal body Yanling are all reincarnated, and the demon body will not be an exception if they come to the nine heavens, but there are a few twists and turns in the reincarnation process, and they are separated from their biological parents. So he didn't interrupt, but continued to listen quietly.
Ignoring Tang Ling's measurements in his heart, Jiutian continued: "Back then, I was still a child, and I only knew that I was different from other members of the clan, but I didn't know what clan I belonged to and who my blood relatives were. Later, I heard the patriarch of Ji Luo inadvertently mention that among the six clans of heaven and earth, only the mortal lineage is the most similar to me, so I kept an eye on it and went down to earth many times, hoping to find my biological parents. β
Hearing this, Tang Ling shook his head.
"It's a naΓ―ve idea, right?" Jiutian laughed to himself, "Cultivation can take hundreds of thousands of years, even if my biological parents are really mortal bodies, they have already become a pile of dry bones before I go down to the mortal world to find them. β
"Life is a rush of decades, and that's how it is. Tang Ling spoke.
"But I ran into his past life because of this. β
When Jiutian said this, a rare warmth appeared on his face.
"His famous work in his previous life, Zhu Houcai, was a well-known good man in the township. The only regret in his life is that he has no heirs under his knees, so even the villagers mentioned this matter, and they also felt sorry for him. By chance, he adopted me as a righteous daughter and treated me as his own, and I also regarded him as my biological father in my heart, until he returned to old age for a hundred years, and then left the mortal world and returned to the clan to cultivate. β
"That Zhu Houcai is Xiao Jing's father's previous life, right?" Tang Ling took advantage of the gap in the Nine Heavens narrative and asked, "That's why you call yourself 'Zhu Jiutian'." β
Jiutian nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence: "In his previous life, he was dedicated to goodness, but except for me, a righteous daughter, there are no heirs to send him to the end." I don't want him to have any regrets in this life, so I have been silently paying attention to it and escaping into the mortal world again, just so that he can be fulfilled, but I didn't expect that although he has Xiao Jing's son in this life, his fate is ......"
Speaking of this, Jiutian looked at Tang Ling: "I have also found a lot of heavenly treasures for him in this life, hoping to increase his lifespan." But since I came back from a search for medicine ten years ago, I found that he had long since disappeared, leaving only his frail wife and Xiaojing to rely on each other. At that time, I heard that he had worked for a faction and disappeared on a mission. Therefore, I have been looking for clues about him for several years, and at the same time helping his wife and children. Three years ago, his wife was frail and died, and I became a sister and brother with the helpless Xiaojing, just half a year ago, I finally found his traces, and then I met you and Yun'er. β
Half a year ago, it was when Tang Ling and Yun'er had their first meeting in Guangling County for nine days, and at that time, Jiutian pretended to be a bride and married Qin Jingsheng.
Tang Ling recalled the situation at that time, and asked again: "You mean that Zhu Houcai's disappearance is related to the underworld?"
"At that time, I was injured by Zhang Jin's sneak attack before I started to investigate, but if it is really related to the underworld......" Jiutian Jade clenched his teeth, and the killing intent had already overflowed in his words.
Tang Ling didn't care, although most of what Jiutian said was confiding, the information had been revealed, and looking at the situation of "Zhu Houcai" at this time, Tang Ling had to pay a little attention.
Although he has the power of breaking the waves, after releasing the two forms, the power in his body has been lost, and it is obvious that the power of those two palms has been infused into the body through some secret method.
The spiritual sense was wiped out, and it was infused with an excessive amount of True Yuan power, leaving only the instinct to fight and win, this is indeed a good puppet. Such an act is just like Jiang Yunfen, who was controlled by Zhang Jin that day.
Perhaps, Xiao Jing's father's disappearance has little to do with the underworld, but Qixiabao has some responsibility?
