Chapter 195: Decision
、、、、、、、
Southern Xinjiang, 100,000 mountains.
In front of the vast black forest that Ghost Li and Jin Bei'er had crossed, there were more than a dozen people standing at this moment, most of them were elite disciples led by Li Xun in the Incense Valley of Southern Xinjiang, and there were only two outsiders among them, that was Lu Xueqi and Zeng Shushu of Qingyunmen. As for Wen Min, who was with Lu Xueqi Zeng Shushu earlier, he unexpectedly disappeared.
Many of the people in this group had a slight look of tiredness on their faces, and it was obvious that although they were cultivators, it was still not easy for them to go deep into the treacherous and strange place of the 100,000 Great Mountains. Only Li Xun, Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu and others who are the leaders have a deep path and look as usual.
It's just that at this moment, looking at the dark and strange forest in front of him, no one can be happy.
In the sky above this black forest, the poisonous miasma is obviously rising, obviously unable to go over from above, and the black forest is vast, and it is impossible to easily bypass, plus Li Xun, who served as a guide all the way, has already said very clearly, according to the legend of the people of southern Xinjiang, the lair of the beast demon is in the ancient cave of demon suppression behind this black forest.
This forest seems to be a must-go!(Qingyi Literature Network . )
The Tianya Divine Sword exuded a pale blue glow, which flickered softly in Lu Xueqi's hand, reflecting her snow-white and slightly lonely figure. Wen Min was not there, not only did she rarely talk to Li Xun and other disciples of Incense Valley, but she also rarely paid attention to Zeng Shushu, who was also under the Qingyun Sect. Along the way, the poor mountains, evil waters, poisonous insects and beasts, these frightening things are often just a blind eye to her, or a dead soul under the sword. No one knows, what is really going on in her heart?
Li Xun didn't know, Zeng Shushu didn't know either, but at this moment, Li Xun coughed at Zeng Shushu and asked in a low voice, "That...... Senior Brother Zeng, may I ask that Senior Sister Lu, what are she thinking about when she has been silent all day?"
Zeng Shushu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Li, I think you also asked the wrong person." ”
Li Xun glanced at him, shook his head after a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, after a tiring day, when everyone was about to rest before entering the Black Forest, Lu Xueqi was alone, standing by a rock far away, looking at the distant mountains, behind her, from time to time, there were many eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, lingering in that beautiful back.
Li Xun and Zeng Shushu stood aside, pondered for a while, and said, "Senior Brother Zeng, let's invite Senior Sister Lu to come over and discuss how to act next, okay?"
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "That's right." Turned around at the moment, walked to Lu Xueqi's side and whispered a few words to her, Lu Xueqi was expressionless, listened to Zeng Shushu's words, and glanced at Li Xun, Li Xun felt slightly embarrassed and laughed dryly.
After a while, Lu Xueqi finally walked back with Zeng Shushu, Li Xun coughed, and said, "That's right, two of you, after passing through this black forest, you will not be far from the beast demon lair." We ......"
"Senior Brother Li!" Suddenly, Lu Xueqi called Li Xun and interrupted him.
Li Xun was stunned, since entering the 100,000 Mountain, it can be said that this is the first time that Lu Xueqi took the initiative to talk to him, and said in surprise: "What?"
Lu Xueqi looked at him, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and said: (Qingyi Literature Network book. "In the past few days, I have always been puzzled about something, and I want to ask Senior Brother Li. ”
Li Xun nodded and said, "Senior Sister Lu, please speak." ”
Lu Xueqi didn't seem to be a little pale-toned because of Li Xun's politeness, and still said coldly and lightly: "In the past, the news I heard from the Burning Incense Valley was that these 100,000 mountains were sinister, and even you rarely entered, but somehow, this time, it seems that Senior Brother Li is very familiar with this place, could it be that you have been here before? Also, the trail of the beast god is very secretive, and the secret of the nest is not a problem, how can the Burning Incense Valley be so well-informed and can know this?"
Li Xun's expression remained unchanged, and in the face of Lu Xueqi's questioning, he seemed to have a long time in mind, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Lu, I have already told you that in the past, we in the Incense Valley really didn't care about the 100,000 Great Mountains here, but as soon as the beast demon catastrophe comes out, of course we will pay attention to this." As for the beast demon lair, it was also discovered by our disciples tracking the remnants of the beast demon, and many of my elites were sacrificed for this. ”
Zeng Shushu and Lu Xueqi both frowned at the same time, obviously they didn't believe Li Xun's empty and perfunctory words, but seeing that he said it reasonably, it seemed that he couldn't refute it directly, so they had to be silent. Li Xun smiled, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Speaking of which, I thought about it again, why did that Senior Sister Wen Minwen of your sect suddenly rush back to Qingyun Mountain when we were about to enter the 100,000 Great Mountain?"
Zeng Shushu was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Xueqi next to him, and then smiled: "Didn't we also tell Senior Brother Li about this, Senior Sister Wen Min had something to do temporarily, so she had to rush back." ”
Lu Xueqi next to her lowered her eyes slightly and did not speak. The reason why Wen Min rushed back to Qingyun Mountain temporarily, even Zeng Shushu didn't know much about it, in fact, in the final analysis, it was naturally for the question that Yun Yilan suddenly came out of the mountain and river hall of Incense Valley that day about the damage of the Zhuxian Sword.
Zeng Shushu didn't know the truth, so he forgot about it as a joke, but after Lu Xueqi discussed it with Wen Min, he felt that this matter was really extraordinary, and after several considerations, it was finally decided that Wen Min would rush back to Qingyun Mountain and explain the matter to the elders and masters, so that it would be better to respond. After all, the Zhuxian Ancient Sword is really of great significance to Qingyunmen and the righteous path of the world. And the Incense Valley, which has always been good friends with Qingyunmen, as well as the valley master Yun Yilan, this unexpected performance, there is a faint and indescribable meaning in it, which is unsettling.
However, the search for the beast god is also very important and cannot be given up, so after discussion, Wen Min rushed back to Qingyun, and Lu Xueqi and Zeng Shushu stayed. However, in the hearts of Lu Xueqi and others, the gate valve of Incense Valley seems to be full of strangeness at this moment.
At this moment, Li Xun has been discussing with Zeng Shushu for a long time, explaining many matters that need to be paid attention to when entering the Black Forest in the future, Zeng Shushu learned many unheard of things from it, and couldn't help but open his eyes, nodding his head, and talking with Li Xun very happily.
Lu Xueqi listened to those words, and somehow, she felt slightly bored, so she stood up and walked to the side again, looking into the distance. The faint mountains in the distance are unimperceptible, the highlands are undulating, and under the vast sky of heaven and earth, the cold wind is whistling by.
Who knows what awaits them ahead?
Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.
In the early morning of this day, it was still early, the genius was bright, and all the disciples on the Great Bamboo Peak had not yet gotten up, but there was a slight sound of footsteps from the Shoujing Hall, and after a while, it was Tian Buyi who walked out uncharacteristically dressed in the early morning.
In the morning light, Tian Buyi had a solemn face on his round face, his brows were furrowed, and he looked preoccupied. Su Ru followed behind him and walked out as well. Looking at the appearance of the husband and wife, I don't know if they got up early or stayed awake all night.
Su Ru had a deep sadness on her face at the moment, and after walking out of the Shoujing Hall, she first glanced at the disciple's house, and after the expected cleanliness and no one, she said in a low voice: "It's not easy, I still think it's a little inappropriate for you to do this, why don't we discuss it again." (Qingyi Literature Network book. )”
Tian Buyi's face sank like water, his brows did not loosen in the slightest, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter can no longer be delayed, since we came back from the ancestral hall, in the past few days, Senior Brother Daoxuan's situation has become worse and worse, and the news uploaded from Tongtian Peak yesterday, I heard that he actually took action against Elder Fan and Xiao Yicai who went to persuade him." ”
Su Ru was taken aback and said, "What, how could he do it, how did the two of them, how did they anger the senior brother in charge, were they injured?"
Tian Buyi snorted and said: "What else can they do for, naturally they saw that Senior Brother Dao Xuan was acting strangely, and went to advise, I heard that Senior Brother Dao Xuan was talking to them well, but for some reason he suddenly became angry, and with a slash of his palm, he seriously injured Senior Brother Fan on the spot, but Xiao Yicai's kid was very alert, and he escaped by him, but it was fine." ”
Su Ru was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Is Xiao Yicai actually okay?"
Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and said, "He has always been smart, and he has followed Senior Brother Daoxuan for many years, so he knows more or less than others. Most of them found out that the situation was wrong in advance, so they grasped the opportunity and escaped by luck. But fortunately, he was alert, so he had time to rescue Senior Brother Fan and heal his injuries, otherwise no one could say what would happen?"
Su Ru was silent for a long time, her face was cloudy, and she said for a long time: "He...... He's become like this, why do you want to see him?"
Tian Buyi took a deep breath and said, "It's just that others don't know, don't you understand why I want to see him?"
Su Ru said in a low voice: "But, he ...... Senior brother in charge, he is demonic at the moment, no one knows what he is thinking, and he is so high, far better than you and me, you take this adventure, I am only afraid, only afraid of ......"
After speaking, Su Ru's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was difficult to hear, obviously she didn't want to say it herself. Tian Buyi sighed, turned around and stared at Su Ru, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Su Ru's hand, and said softly: "You and I are husband and wife, of course I know what you are worried about." With your heart, I don't care if something happens to me......"
Su Ru frowned, interrupted him, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Tian Buyi nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said: "You know, the secret of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword is originally the top secret of the Qingyun Sect, and only the master of the sect knows about it. It's just that in the wilderness war back then, I, Zeng Shuchang and several others followed Senior Brother Wan to fight a decisive battle of thousands of miles of yellow sand, and learned this secret by chance. Later, several of us made a heavy oath in front of the ancestors of Qingyunmen in the ancestral hall of the ancestors, and we would never divulge this secret for the rest of our lives. ”
Su Ru sighed and said, "Why did you mention this again, I was also present at the beginning, and I swore the same as you, how could I not remember?"
Tian Buyi said: "Since the patriarch of Qingye left a handwritten warning tablet, the ancestors of the past dynasties have no longer admonished three times, and the ancient sword of Zhuxian should not be used lightly. In the Aoba Patriarch's Commandment Monument, it is even more clear that the sword spirit of the Zhuxian is a supreme fierce spirit, and the sword holder is not strong and the foundation is unstable, (Qingyi Literature Network) will fall into the devil's path. Now that Senior Brother Daoxuan's visions are not just fulfilling what the patriarch said!"
Su Ru lowered her head and was silent for a long time.
Tian Buyi looked up at the faintly bright sky, and in the distance, at the end of the mountain fog in the early morning, where the clouds and mist shrouded, the figure of the towering Tongtian Peak loomed.
"Over the years, Senior Brother Daoxuan has worked hard to rectify our Qingyun Sect and prosper, and now he is proud of the world and leads the world on the right path. Tian Buyi's voice sounded, and suddenly there was a little more vicissitudes, "I also thought that even if Senior Brother Wan sat in the position of the head of the sect back then, I am afraid that he may not be able to do better than Senior Brother Daoxuan." ”
Su Ru's body trembled slightly, and she whispered: "It's not easy to ......" It's just the latter words, but she seems to want to stop talking.
Tian Buyi took his hands, his face was a little confused, and said: "In the past many years, although I still secretly worship Senior Brother Wan's spiritual position, but for Senior Brother Daoxuan, to be honest, I really admire it more and more, although there are many quarrels on weekdays, but I have nothing to say about his conduct in the world, even ten years ago, when he used the Zhuxian Sword to split Lao Qi......"
"It's not easy, don't say it!" Su Ru suddenly shouted, and somehow, looking at Tian Buyi, her eyes turned a little red.
Tian Buyi's muscles on his face moved, and he barely squeezed out a smile, but there was no trace of laughter, only sadness: "The person in the world who understands my mind best is you." Ten years ago, in that war, I ...... I ......," he sighed and said, "I'm really reluctant to be the seventh! Among this group of disciples, although that kid looks the most unpleasant, I still ...... Alas!(Qingyi Literature Network . )”
With a long sigh, the two of them stopped talking, until after a while, Tian Buyi smiled bitterly as if laughing at himself, and said: "After the incident that day, I also had a deep dissatisfaction with Senior Brother Daoxuan, the seventh child was raised by me, and in the past ten years, don't I know who he is? But that sword went down, hehe, the seventh is fine, he killed a Baguio first, this time it's good, the seventh has to be reversed if he doesn't fight back. With his dead-eyed temperament, in this life, I am afraid that he will be destroyed under that sword. ”
"However, in the past few years, I have occasionally introspected myself, and when I think back on this matter, I have also thought, if I am in the position of Senior Brother Daoxuan, this sword, should I cut it or not?"
Su Ru stared at her husband and didn't say a word, just wordlessly gently grabbed his palm and patted the back of his palm with her hand, with a hint of comfort.
Tian Buyi smiled faintly, with a little helplessness, and smiled at Su Ru: "If I change it, I'm afraid that I will still have to split that sword after all." ”
As if she had known this answer for a long time, Su Ru bowed her head silently and did not speak.
Tian Buyi was also silent, staring in the direction of Tongtian Peak in the distance. After a while, Su Ru suddenly said, "Since you have made up your mind, why don't I accompany you to see Senior Brother Daoxuan." ”
Tian Buyi shook his head and said, "You still don't want to go, there are too many people, but it's not easy to talk." Senior Brother Daoxuan has become what he is today, all for the sake of the common people in the world and Qingyunmen, I don't know, it's okay, but since I know the secret, I can't sit idly by, I always have to see if there is still room for salvation. I only hope that Senior Brother Daoxuan is profound and can wake up from that anger. Otherwise......"
When he said this, his voice stopped abruptly, Su Ru looked at him, suddenly smiled slightly, the sad look on his face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a distressed and beloved look, and said softly: "Okay, don't say it." ”
Tian Buyi has been with her for a long time, and the two have already had the same heart, at this moment, Tian Buyi stared at Su Ru for a long time, and after all, he didn't speak anymore, just nodded. After a few moments, he turned around, and the wide bottoms of his sleeves began to glow crimson.
Seeing that his Red Flame Immortal Sword was about to go away, suddenly Su Ru called out again behind him: "It's not easy to ......" Although the tone in the voice was not very high, the feelings were stirring and full of tenderness, and they were all in these two words.
Tian Buyi looked back and looked at his wife, only to see Su Ru's face full of reluctance, and there were faint tears flashing in her eyes. After a long time, Tian Buyi suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and his lips moved, but he still didn't say anything, turned around and sacrificed the Red Flame Immortal Sword, and with a roar, it took off.
The crimson light, sweeping across the sky, only penetrated into the mist, at first the clouds surged, and they retreated, and then surrounded him from all sides, gradually submerging his figure.
Su Ru was the only one left, staring at the sky in a daze, and I don't know how long I had been standing, and above the temples, I don't know when there was a little morning dewdrop, crystal clear, like a pearl, quietly falling.
