Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Can't See Through
"Lin Jiejia, you don't understand. In this Wu Dynasty, there is only my short-lived Qi Mo, and there is no short-lived Qi family in Beijing. ”
Qi Mo's white hair is like snow, his face is like goosebumps, and although his eyes are as resolute and resolute as before, he also has a little more vicissitudes of life and turbidity of Long Zhong's old state.
Now, he is already a bad old man who is about to enter the wood, and he is in his last years.
The fire in his heart was extinguished, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained.
He held the hand of the immortal medicine, trembling all the time, his body was also trembling, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.
"Boom-"
Finally, he could no longer hold it anymore and fell to the flat ground halfway up the mountain.
The breeze is still there, and the day is noon.
But he still fell after all, like a sunset sinking in the west.
On the top of the mountain, when the Yuntao Immortal saw this, he finally felt a little moved.
His face was cold, but he recited the magic trick, and with a finger of the void, he slowly lifted Qi Mo's old body.
Qi Mo's eyes were still open, and he didn't lose consciousness, but he didn't have any strength in his body, and his hands hung down weakly, like the broken wings of a bird.
He seemed to be about to say something, but after all, he was like a fish out of water, and he could only buzz his mouth and gasp for breath.
He was sent out of the Golden Scale Heavenly Ladder by the Yuntao Immortals and sent to Qi Niansuo, the old man of Qi.
Qi Niansuo was like a tree, standing at the foot of the Golden Scale Mountain, motionless, and behind him were dozens of Qi family members who were "favored by Qi Mo", and they all greeted Qi Mo's return with solemn expressions.
Qi Mo is the hero who saved the fate of his family, although he was the first loser to withdraw from the Golden Scale Test.
The Yuntao Immortal slowly put Qi Mo's body into Qi Niansuo's arms, as if he had put an injured bird into the canopy of a tree.
The branches and foliage of the canopy shrank and closed, shielding the bird from the scorching sun and the scorching sun, the wind and the rain, and protecting the bird.
"Grandpa, I'm ...... I've done it, Qi family, no more...... Don't be afraid anymore!"
Qi Mo's old body was like a fluttering wind, Qi Niansuo held him in his arms, but he didn't feel a trace of weight, he was so light that it seemed to be blown away at any time and turned into nothingness.
"Silly boy, no one wants you to do this, silly boy, you shouldn't do it. ”
Qi Niansuo hadn't shed a tear for many years, but for the sake of his great-grandson, he still flicked one or two of the old man's worthless faint tears.
The tears dripped on the stone slabs, and were dried by the midday sun.
"Yes...... I decided to do it myself, and I knew that this was our only chance as a family, and I had to do it, no matter what the cost. It doesn't matter if he goes to the Jinglin family, but our Qi family ...... But I can't afford it. ”
Qi Mo raised his right hand with difficulty, trembled, and handed the bottle of immortal medicine in his hand to Qi Niansuo.
"It's okay, I'm ...... I did it!"
Qi Niansuo took the bottle of immortal medicine in Qi Mo's hand and held it in his hand, but he couldn't hold it steadily, it was too heavy, like a thousand catties.
"There's always another way, why are you bothered?"
"This ...... This is the safest way, I grew up in the Qi family since I was a child, and I have enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Qi family for so many years, I ...... I don't want to see the Qi family fall like this, there are so many elders in the family who love me, and there are so many younger brothers and sisters who haven't grown up yet, they shouldn't face this, just let me face it alone!"
"Silly boy, I promise you, definitely, I will not let the Qi family fall. I'm never going to let that happen. ”
Qi Niansuo looked at Qi Mo's increasingly cloudy eyes and made a promise to him.
He will definitely use this bottle of immortal medicine to cultivate a supreme grandmaster for the Qi family, let him take over from him, and support the huge Shangjing Qi family.
"Really...... I really want to see the scene of my Qi family once again dominating the family thirty years later, it's just ...... It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to see it, what a pity, grandpa!"
"No, no, grandpa will search for life-sustaining herbs for you, and I will definitely let you survive until that day. ”
Qi Mo listened, but only smiled.
He knew that life-sustaining medicinal materials were not so easy to find, and if it was really that easy, he wouldn't have to spend the rest of his life to snatch the bottle of immortal medicine in the Immortal Court.
"Grandpa, I'm tired and want to sleep. ”
Qi Mo is really too tired, his life and soul are like a bean lamp in the wind and rain, it is clearly extinguished, if he does not move into the house, he will be doused by this wind and rain.
"Okay, grandpa will take you back. ”
Qi Niansuo's rickety body picked up Qi Mo, carried his wonderful body, took his ethereal wind, and took him, a bird with broken wings, down the mountain, and returned to the Qi family's stronghold in the Smoke and Rain City.
The people of the Qi family behind Qi Niansuo saw their ancestors coming down the mountain, so they didn't stay here longer, and they also went down the mountain one after another to guard Qi Mo, who had won a hundred years of wealth for them.
After burning the Origin, the most difficult thing to pass is the first night.
If you get through it, you will have a life span of more than ten years, and if you can't get through it, you won't even have the days to survive.
......
After the Qi family left, there was an extra open space at the foot of the Golden Scale Mountain, like a bare scar.
The large and small family sects began to discuss.
"Qi Niansuo, this old turtle, has a good great-grandson! If only those unsuccessful little cubs in my family had such an awareness, I wouldn't have to worry about this family all day long. This is the emotion of the old ancestor of the Wei family.
"Qi Mo, this kid, it's really a pity, although his mental understanding is not as good as others, but in fact, his perseverance and determination are the best among these people, and he may not have the opportunity to climb to the top of the Golden Scale Mountain. "The old man of the Shen family is a generous person, and he also feels sorry for Qi Mo.
The people of the Han family in Jinling and the Lin family in Shangjing, while speaking for Qi Mo, for some reason, spread the war to the heads of Lin Xiuran and the Lin family in Ningtang.
Lin Xiuran was now at the bottom of the ladder, and was far behind by the others.
The head of the Han family said in a weird manner: "Qi Mo has indeed made too many sacrifices for the sake of the family, he is a great young man, compared to a certain kid who will only bring trouble to the family, it is really much stronger." ”
The kid in the mouth of the head of the Han family who will only bring trouble to the family is naturally Lin Xiuran.
Lin Ruhai also said: "Hmph, some people just don't know how many catties and taels they have, they casually rob others of their immortal fate and climb the Golden Scale Ladder, what if he defeats Yan Taikang, his heart is not strong and pure, how far can he go?
"Hmph, I'm afraid that after this incident, the life of the Ningtang Lin family will not be better, don't say anything about becoming one of the seven great families of the Wu Dynasty, that is, whether this big family can survive or not, let's talk about it!"
"Lin Weiyuan can be regarded as having given birth to a 'good' son. ”
"Hahaha. ”
......
Everyone under the mountain had a lot of discussions about Qi Mo and Lin Xiuran, but the Yuntao Immortals and Xianyao Fairies on the top of the mountain were more concerned about whether they could produce a proud son of heaven who could climb to the top of the Golden Scale Mountain in this Golden Scale Test.
"What Senior Brother Yuntao said is really right, this Qi Mo really burned his origin and took the bottle of elixir for his Qi family. Fairy Xian Yao glanced at her senior brother Yuntao, and couldn't help but look up to him a little higher.
I even wondered in my heart whether I should let go of my prejudices and form a Taoist relationship with him.
Yuntao Immortal sent Qi Mo away, his eyes returned to his previous indifference, and said: "Many things are connected, there are always some inevitable results, and Qi Mo's matter is also an inevitability." ”
"Then I don't know, what does Senior Brother Yuntao think of this Golden Scale Test, is there a winner who can climb to the top of Golden Scale Mountain this time?, Senior Brother Yuntao, who does he think is the most likely?" Fairy Xian Yao asked with a smile.
If he was right this time, she would let go of the Immortal Court's view of the gateway between the foreign faction and the local faction, and begged the head of the sect to be the master and let him form a Taoist couple with her.
She has just entered the foundation, she is young and beautiful, and she is cheap to be his Taoist companion.
Yuntao Immortal didn't expect that Fairy Yao had so many twists and turns in her heart.
He looked at the fourteen people who were climbing forward on the Golden Scale Ladder, and instead of answering Fairy Xian Yao's question, he asked rhetorically, "Senior Sister Xian Yao, what do you think this time, who can get into your eyes?"
"If there is one, it must be the round monk of the Great Compassion Temple. ”
Fairy Xian Yao said: "It is rare to be able to climb the ladder to the top of the mountain half a year ago, I think that if someone can reach the top this time, it must be him." ”
When Yuntao Immortal heard this, he showed an expected expression, but he shook his head and said, "Actually, at the beginning, I also thought so, but after looking at it for a long time, I had some other opinions. ”
On the golden-scaled ladder, the round monk flicked the fallen leaves in his hand with his fingers to dispel the demons in his heart; Yuan Xueyi was arrogant and complacent, and walked away, folding a fan in his hand, and then retreated from the demons in his heart; thoughtless children carried forward with a heavy load, just as he carried the goods bag day after day at the wharf of Xuzhen, and the demons in his heart did not retreat, but he could carry them; the golden scales of Yanyu Lake shook the tail of the fish, swung the fins of the fish, and swallowed the bubbles in the water mass that wrapped him, while struggling to swim up.
After a rampage of the children of the seven great families, these three people and one fish gradually caught up and became the first group on the ladder.
Fairy Xian Yao looked at the situation in the field, thinking that his candidate was Yuan Xueyi of the Jixia School Palace, and said: "Yuan Xueyi? He is indeed a good seedling, when he tried to climb the ladder last year, he stopped at the top of the mountain only a hundred steps, it is a pity, presumably half a year later, with the title of the champion of the Wu Dynasty, he should be able to make progress." ”
Yuntao Immortal shook his head again, and said: "Although the round monk of the Great Compassion Temple and the Yuan Xueyi of the Jixia School Palace are indeed the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they can be made, but after looking at it for a long time, I feel that there are two people who are better than them. ”
When Fairy Yao heard this, she was a little curious, and said, "Oh, who is it?"
"One, is the thoughtless son of Qingyun Sect, he is too similar to me, and I was the same back then, everything is decent, not bad, but I am not favored, but in the end, it is really a decent me. ”
"So, what about the other one?"
"There is another one, that is the Lin Xiuran who just killed Yan Taikang of the Jixia Academy, although he is at the end, but for some reason, I don't think I can see through him at all. ”
There are very few people who can make Yuntao Immortals feel that they can't see through it, over the years.
What's more, this person is still a mortal.
"Senior Brother Yuntao's opinion is extremely interesting!"
Fairy Yao listened to the words of the Yuntao Immortal, but he didn't think so, and even felt a little absurd, the thoughtless son of the Qingyun Sect was okay, his understanding was almost good, but it was also a material that could be made, the one called Lin Xiuran, but the Fairy Yao didn't dare to compliment.
Isn't it Senior Brother Yuntao who deliberately didn't talk to death in order to get my attention?
Fairy Yao fell into deep thought for a while.
And the Yuntao Immortals set their eyes on the field, looking at the fourteen golden scales, stirring up the wind and clouds.
