Chapter 196: The beginning is getting old, this is love
Chiming Tongzi was very grateful in his heart, and the smile on his childlike little face was not weird. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although he was only trembling by the huge siege, he was also frightened to death by Xiao Yun's thousand top subordinates. But because of this, digging out nearly a hundred Reverse Sky Gate scourges who infiltrated the Scattered Cultivation Alliance was a good thing to be thankful for.
Of course, the Luo family, which is based on the island of cangdahu, is even more elated, as if they are going to become immortals tomorrow, and they all think that their son-in-law Xiao Yun is the king of the mortal world. Wrong, it's right to call the great venerable of the human race! The Luo family has a great son-in-law, and naturally the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and sooner or later they will all be famous in the mortal world.
It seems that this kind of understanding is not outrageous, Luo Tian and Luo Ming, who are Yuanying Great Monks, know very well that the power of their son-in-law Xiao Yun is truly invincible. It's really good, don't say anything about the seas in the region, the entire mortal realm of nine hundred and ninety-nine continents, thirteen inland seas and four endless oceans, who can stop the combined force of a thousand top monks?
However, Xiao Yun was still very depressed, just because he searched the rohu island for a whole day, he actually caught more than 100 small fish and shrimp, and the head of the Reverse Sky Gate, Xi Yuweng, had already escaped without a trace. What he didn't expect the most was that the Luo family was also infiltrated, and the favorite sister of the Xiaodong brothers and sisters, Qing'er, unfortunately suffered from soul imprisonment and became a hidden enemy.
Xiao Yun will definitely not be satisfied with such a result, and he realizes that Bu Zhixiu, who is hiding in the dark, will inevitably bring more and more trouble. Mortals understand that open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, and hidden Yuanying monks are even more of a great disaster, even if they have an absolute advantage in strength, they also need a clear goal.
And who can guarantee that there is no negligence? If it weren't for the unexpected discovery of this return to the island, the existence of the Reverse Sky Gate was noticed for the first time. I'm afraid that even if the foggy leaves island is worry-free in the long run, the monks don't need to be afraid, but the mortals on the island will definitely not escape their doom.
It is important to know that monks come from mortals, whether they are sects or forces, in fact, the real foundation is the number of people under their jurisdiction. If there are no mortals, there will be no cultivators, and any force will gradually die out sooner or later without a continuous replenishment of cultivators.
Xiao Yun, who knew this, knew that he couldn't underestimate this potential threat, so he simply took the opportunity of the Jiao clan announcing the appearance of the sea spirit to invite the major forces in the Inland Sea to gather on Foggy Leaf Island to discuss the matter. And the Seagod Sect and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, which were found to have been secretly infiltrated, were even more desperate, and immediately spread the entire Light Spirit Inland Sea together with the Jiao Clan.
I didn't want this to be a more shocking fact to be discovered, and just one day later, the major forces in the Inland Sea searched for nearly a thousand infiltrated Reverse Sky Gate secret sons, and after a large-scale soul search, they found that hundreds of them had escaped. Undoubtedly, such a result shocked all the forces in the inland sea, and no one wanted to have poisonous snakes lurking around them.
As a result, the entire Inland Sea Cultivation Realm soon reached three major consensuses, both the human and demon all jointly worshiped the Sea Spirit, the Foggy Leaf Island became a holy place for all ethnic groups in the Inland Sea, and the search for the Reverse Sky Gate became the norm. At this point, Xiao Yun had completely stabilized the foundation of his Inland Sea, but it seemed that it would be difficult to completely eliminate the mortal enemy in the vast mortal realm in a short period of time.
Xiao Yun, who had already been warned of the catastrophe in his previous life, did not have time to deal with this matter now, even if he had the heart to deal with it. It is now nearly autumn, and there is less than a year left before the third wave of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation comes, if you can't put down the scourge of the Guangzhou Wu clan as soon as possible, how can you have time to find the junior brother and the senior brother.
What's more, it is necessary to return to the continent as soon as possible and regain the place of alchemy in the ancestral land to get a complete warning, so that the relatives in the mortal realm can be protected. Otherwise, there is no need for any insidious conspiracy against the Sky Gate, and the catastrophe with the demon star as a disaster can make Misty Leaf Island unsafe.
However, that's all it takes, and now the Evil Cloud City of Great Importance is still unresolved. The follow-up fight with the king of the scattered branches must be more cautious, and must not be ignored. Moreover, Xiao Yun has an incomparably strong intuition, and it is likely that this place of foundation in the Netherworld is the key to successfully avoiding the third wave of the catastrophe.
But to take care of these many things that cannot be ignored at the same time, even Xiao Yun, who has both bodies and feels that he has no skills, it is obviously impossible to do them all at the same time. Fortunately, the backbone of the Blood Spirit Sect has made great progress after going to the underworld, and the old scholar Zhen Youqian, under the cultivation of Xiao Yun at the expense of top-level cultivation resources, has reached the peak of Jindan after cultivating in the blessed land of God for nearly a hundred years.
Xiao Yun, who realized that time was pressing, immediately convened his subordinates to arrange the discussion and disposal that had to be carried out after the end of the general discussion on Foggy Leaf Island, and finally made a separate decision under the brainstorming.
The first task is, of course, to recapture the ancestral land as soon as possible, and to clear the warning of the catastrophe, Xiao Yun arranged for Dudu and Zhen Youqian, who were most familiar with the continent, as well as Xiao Ping and He Kui to lead the hundred foundation-building disciples of the original Shenxiao Dao Sect in the continent. Immediately return to the island to recapture the ancestral alchemy place, and look for Xiao Jiayuan to survive the Xiao family's children. To this end, fifty silver fangs were allocated to the cavalry, which was controlled and led by Dudu with a soul oath.
And the matter of Zhenzhou Soul Demon Sect's recovery of the younger brother was handed over to Biquan Yilian, who knew his memory, and also led the fifty silver fang riders who had made a soul oath to go. If there is an accident, it will be forcefully suppressed, even if it is not hesitant to destroy its sect, and now there is no time to negotiate.
Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Yun to ignore the fundamentals and still leave the fifty Qingqi guards under the command of Hei Kui, acting as the guards of the Sea Spirit Palace to garrison Foggy Leaf Island. Another fifty Qingqi guards were sent to be led by Luo Li, and they only focused on searching all parts of the inland sea. Obviously, he wanted to destroy the hidden Rebellion Gate stronghold in one fell swoop, and at the same time search for the whereabouts of his senior brother Meng Gang, this hundred green guards were naturally bound by the soul oath.
As for the affairs on Foggy Leaf Island, Xiao Yun had to entrust the Ye family sisters to manage it, and the two ignorant and simple wives also became the main wife. It's just that Xiao Yun can't refuse the little junior sister's request to go back to Feiyun Peak to visit her relatives, although she knows that the lies of the past will eventually be exposed, but this is undoubtedly something that you will have to face sooner or later.
Fortunately, the two kings of the Jiao clan have been stationed on Wuye Island for a long time to protect the sea spirit, so that there is both a strong force and a backyard guarded by the overlord of the inland sea, but it can be orderly and safe. What's more, who would dare to come to the Foggy Leaf Island, which has become a holy land in the inland sea? Perhaps this is the unexpected harvest of Xiao Yun and Xiao Jingjing's extreme friendship.
However, Xiao Yun, who got an unexpected gain, also got unexpected troubles, and Xiao Jingjing, who came to Foggy Leaf Island, was always sticking to him and Brother Xiao Wan. And knowing that the two bodies of the eldest brother were going to Gwangju and Evil Cloud City respectively, Xiao Jingjing was reluctant to let go of her little hand when she hugged Xiao Yun, and clearly wanted to go with the eldest brother.
But the spirit of the inland sea can't leave, not to mention that the Jiao clan will definitely not agree, even Xiao Yun will definitely not do this. It must be known that if the Inland Sea loses its sea spirit, it will only bring unforeseen disasters, which is the same as the loss of a person's true soul, and it is completely the most unacceptable result.
Xiao Yun, who was helpless, had to hold Xiao Jingjing all night to tell stories, and promised to return to Foggy Leaf Island every three days no matter what, which was extremely difficult to convince the sticky little girl. But the strange thing is that Xiao Yun doesn't feel irritable at all, but feels very happy because of it, thinking that Xiao Jingjing, surnamed Xiao, is a real relative.
But he didn't know that Jingjing was indeed his real relative, more qualified than his parents, and the relative of all mortal beings. It must be known that it is the Pangu Great Venerable and the Small Half Yuan God that derives the six reincarnations, which gives rise to the derivation of all the spirits in the world. And the sea spirit is the incarnation of the Great Venerable's free primordial spirit qi, which is almost no different from the source of mortal life.
Xiao Yun, who had carefully arranged all the affairs, said goodbye to his tearful relatives at dawn, and finally completely set off a storm in the mortal world after six years of dormancy. However, at this moment, he is both full of ambition and complicated mood, and seems to have some inexplicable fears and worries.
Xiao Yun knew that these were all things he had to do, but he didn't know what unavoidable choices he would encounter in the future. Although he is only seventeen years old in half a year, if you count the years of cultivation in the blessed land of God, he is now close to the age of the sixtieth year.
Facing the summer morning light and the sea breeze that always blows, looking at his relatives who are still young but full of sorrow, Xiao Yun suddenly found that his youthful heart in the past has faded a lot, and now he is a little numb from accidents. I also found that unless I deliberately showed my youthful mentality, it seems that the sharpness and passion of the past have begun to gradually be lost in the years.
Xiao Yun, haunted by this bizarre discovery, inexplicably and inevitably had many questions in his heart: What is the purpose of cultivation? What do mortals live for? Is it because of their strength and status, they have to miss the family and emotions that mortals should have, and they have to move forward alone like cultivating evil spirits?
But what can you do if you don't practice? It seems even more pathetic to go with the flow and let fate play tricks, is this an unsolvable cycle of cause and effect? Maybe you can level Guangzhou, but who can guarantee that there will be no more catastrophes in the future? Or return to the island to rebuild the two major sects in one fell swoop, so that they can prosper forever?
Obviously, this is not possible, and it is more likely that someone with the same fate will appear in a few years, and then repeat the cycle again. However, doesn't this mean that life is meaningless? In this case, why should we miss out on the beauty that life should have, and repeatedly leave our loved ones sadly and do those meaningless things?
In the morning light, Xiao Yun pondered these inexplicable thoughts for a long time, and suddenly blurted out under the impetus of his state of mind at this moment: "Fenghua is against the journey, floating dust." The sky is light and cloudy, and it does not wander. Spanning 3,000 worlds, Penglai is also 40,000 years. The original intention is getting old, why ...... past"
Who knew that Xiao Yun chanted so far but could not continue, because a sentence that he remembered all his life appeared in his heart, that is the teachings of the old ancestor, if he can get out of the sky, what is it. Xiao Yun, whose mind was in a hurry, was suddenly blessed with a blessing to his heart, and he was freed from this inexplicable entanglement.
People can only live in the present, since it is clear that the footprints left behind will disappear in the years, then let the footprints left extremely profound. If you can get rid of the domination and trickery of this day, nothing will be meaningful, and it is better to live and fight hard, even if you lose in the end, you will live up to this life.
Although mortals can never exist apart from the heavens, the mortal heart can transcend this world. No matter how the years go by, how endless the world is, my heart is still firm and endless! The heart of an old man is also the heart of a mortal, and it is not just a young man who has an endless heart.
So Xiao Yun, who had been thinking about it like a madman for a while, actually raised his head and laughed three times to the sky. Immediately, under the gaze of the two beloved wives who were also blindly pondering like madmen because of the exchange of thoughts, they did not delay even a minute, and urged the Ziyang Tianyan Disk to send the silver pupil back to Evil Cloud City.
Xiao Yun, who got rid of the entanglement and had a firm heart, did not stay in the Netherworld Territory for a long time, and immediately shuttled back to the mortal realm again. The purple eyes that could go and return were still like fighting a fire, and they did not return to Foggy Leaf Island again, but shuttled directly into the void with the little junior sister and the eight hundred cavalry guards to the Feiyun Peak where the Liberation Alliance was located.
Xiao Yun's eagerness was also inevitable, just because he would have a decisive battle with the Wu Clan in Yunyu Mountain five days later. He naturally went all out when he had no doubts in his heart, and he thought that the footprints he left in Guangzhou must be as profound as possible, which is one of the marks of his life.
It's just that although Xiao Yun, who came to Feiyun Peak, got rid of his inexplicable thoughts, he couldn't get rid of the upcoming mental grind. Because Li Xin'er, who had just come out of the Lingbao space, cheered loudly under the morning sun with great joy, and for a while even forgot about her husband beside her, and went straight to the Li family's ancestral house with a silver bell-like laughter and call.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun suddenly felt that his heart was sinking rapidly, and the fear that came from the source began to spread in his body and mind. Of course, he understands what it feels like to lose his parents, and he knows how much his beloved wife misses his relatives, but where can he still take care of the children of the Li family who salute around him, and hurriedly catch up with the little junior sister.
"Xin'er wait first, I have something to say to you, don't worry about it first, okay?"
"What's wrong with my brother, husband, something, wait until I see my father and mother, and then say okay, I haven't seen my family for a long time." Li Xin'er obviously didn't have the intention of saying anything to Xiao Yun, and was about to continue moving forward after answering a few words eagerly, but she seemed to think of something and turned around to ask.
"Senior brother, is my father and mother injured? Or does my father not like you? But it shouldn't be like this, although my father is a little snobbish, but senior brother, you definitely meet my father's requirements. Could it be that you offended my father, or did my father do something bad in the name of my brother?"
Listening to the words of the little junior sister, Xiao Yun didn't know how to answer, he knew very well what the consequences would be if he told his beloved wife the truth. At this moment, the fear and guilt in his heart were surging like a tide, but he didn't have the courage to speak the truth.
In this way, Xiao Yun's inevitable expression was extremely unnatural, and Li Xin'er saw that her husband's face was extremely entangled, and she gradually lost her smile. So a kind of speculation that has existed for a long time, but has never been willing to admit it, began to emerge in the heart of the little junior sister. It was only a few breaths, and the irresistible fear made Li Xin'er's eyes red, and tears slowly began to flow.
"Senior brother, did you lie to me when you were in Qingling Castle? My father and mother ......!" Li Xin'er couldn't go on, her pretty little face quickly faded, and she had begun to look pale and haggard. just looked at Xiao Yun directly, silently crying, as if waiting for her husband to give an answer to eliminate the pain.
Obviously, the little junior sister, who is already smart and clever and has grown up to nearly six years old, has already noticed the flaws of the senior brother. How could the house be spotless after the family had fled? It was impossible for my father's letter to be like that in less than a month. Li Xin'er is actually always deceiving herself, and she is afraid of losing her relatives so she chooses to believe her senior brother.
Xiao Yun looked at the silent crying sister, looked at the painful gaze of his beloved wife, and saw the disappointment he thought in it, feeling that his heart was being shattered by a thousand knives and continuing to fall into infinite darkness. Although Xiao Yun had long understood the teachings of his ancestors not to do tricks, the fear that had been lingering for the past six years had finally completely erupted at this moment.
"Xin'er......" Xiao Yun called out his beloved wife's name, but he couldn't say more than half a word, and all the words seemed to be blocked in his heart. But he stepped forward and hugged the little sister in his arms, and finally shed tears that he had not seen for a few years, perhaps this is the pain that husband and wife can only experience when they are together.
Under the still fiery morning light at the end of summer, the couple with endless frost in their hearts embraced each other for a long time. It seems that everything in the world has lost its meaning to them at this moment, and only the sorrow and tears that belong to mortals are washing away the memories of the past, transforming their hearts and minds, but also leaving irreparable scars.
Hearing that Xiao Yun had returned to Feiyun Peak, the two elders of the Li family, who had been passed on by their disciples, hurriedly greeted the two old monks who stayed here. Unexpectedly, this was just out of the ancestral house, and before he could say half a word, he saw Xiao Yun and his wife hugging each other and crying. I felt that the atmosphere that was almost breathless was silently rendered wantonly all the time.
Li Chunyang looked at his proudest daughter, but when he went home, his eyes were so sad that his eyes were blank and he burst into tears, as if he had lost his soul. I can't help but sigh secretly, this daughter of the Li family is both lucky and unlucky, she was loved when she was an adult but lost her loved ones at an early age, and she was so funny!
Although the two brothers have been explained by Xiao Yun many times, they all understand that they can't talk about Li Xin'er's family. But now that they saw Li Xin'er so sad with their own eyes, the sadness that came from the blood made them want to step forward to comfort the poor child. But he never thought that before he could take a step, he was stopped by the Prajna Heart Sutra that the two old monks immediately recited.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it......"
As time passed in a sad atmosphere, and as the soothing chanting continued to be heard, more and more monks gathered around could not help but silence. After a while, people surrounded Xiao Yun and his wife, and gradually formed a big circle.
The people who were also silent and speechless with grief on their faces, as if they all understood compassion with the sound of the Heart Sutra recitation, almost everyone was grieving for the suffering mortal homeland. There are even monks who have lost their relatives in the catastrophe, and they also have silent tears unknowingly.
After a long time, Li Xin'er raised her head from her husband's arms with difficulty, and looked at Xiao Yun, who was constantly crying, and was stunned for a moment, as if she was haggard and unable to say anything. However, on the pale little face, there was a sudden smile that was extremely disobedient and extremely reluctant, and suddenly shocked her husband to the point that he had no master.
Of course, Xiao Yun knew what the distortion of the heart was, such a smile had appeared on him many times, and he hurriedly said eagerly: "Xin'er, Xin'er, I really didn't see my father's corpse at that time, even if I didn't return to Feiyun Peak, it was very likely that I was hiding somewhere else." I'm definitely not telling a lie this time, if I lie to you, I won't die right away!"
After Li Xin'er heard this, her big and godless eyes lit up, as if she had a little hope again. I heard the little junior sister say weakly: "Senior brother, husband, you must help me find my father, okay?"
"I promise to do my best to find it, even if it takes more time to search the mortal realm, I will find it......" Xiao Yun didn't finish his words before he realized that something was wrong, and the junior sister, who was already emaciated, had already fainted in his arms. It can be seen that even if he is a Jindan monk, he is really a mortal, and the biggest pillar of human life has always been the heart.
Xiao Yun, who was extremely frightened, only felt that his heart had been broken, but he never noticed that his violently surging heart power seemed to have changed a little in this short period of time. I never noticed that my beloved wife, who was sad and unconscious, still had a deliberate smile on the corner of her mouth.
But was the smile after the coma specially reserved for him? It is estimated that only Xiao Yun knows. No matter how calm he was at the moment, after a while, when he saw his beloved wife's smile, he suddenly understood in his heart that this was by no means the smile of his distorted heart when he was a child. This is love, it can only be extremely sincere love, and it is the love that the little sister is afraid that she will be sad too......
