Chapter 18: The Lonely Dragon
The Tiger King and other demons sent Su Bai out of Fulong Valley all the way, all with hatred on their faces, even the white-bearded old man who was extremely optimistic about Su Bai couldn't help but sigh at this moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Su Bai stepped out of Fulong Valley, the Tiger King's face twitched, and he said fiercely: "This is the best time you come to Fulong Valley, otherwise I will tear you apart." ”
Su Bai looked at the human-looking demon in front of him, frowned slightly, and turned to leave.
It was already moonset when he returned to the inn again, and the shopkeeper couldn't believe it when he saw Su Bai as if he had seen a ghost, this was the first living person to come out of Fulong Valley in recent years, and it was a normal living person, he looked up and down, and finally determined that this was indeed the young guest who was going to Fulong Valley.
"Childe, it's really you, have you gone to Fulong Mountain?" asked Xiao Er.
"Of course it's ......" The words came to his lips, and he hurriedly changed his words: "I didn't arrive, I almost got lost along the way, I thought that there was really something unclean in that place, I am now in my youth, I don't want to enjoy the good years, I have to go there to do something, if I can't come back, wouldn't it be a waste of my youth, don't go, don't go." ”
"That is, in another three years, the son will be enough to take the scientific examination, and he will be famous in the examination, which is better than anything else. "Listening to Su Bai, the shopkeeper was also quite happy, if he really went to Fulong Mountain, maybe another one would not return.
"Then borrow your auspicious words, prepare some food for me, and prepare some dry food, and I will take it with you later. Su Bai said and sat aside.
It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to prepare two catties of beef and three days' worth of dry food, Su Bai left the inn in the moonlight, he didn't take the official road, but quietly entered the dense forest, walked through the thorns, and went in the direction where the Qingtan was.
On the edge of Qingtan, under the moonlit night, looking at the five peaks from afar, Su Bai had eaten less since he stepped into the Qi Channeling Realm, and it took him ten days to eat the amount of things in three days.
He waited for the Purple Feather Immortal here every day, and the most he did was to figure out the Taoist scriptures, study the words, and constantly familiarize himself with the Qi Induction Realm, constantly fitting the body and the Yuan Qi, day after day, his understanding of the Yuan Qi was also more and more day by day, but in these days, although he was silent in cultivating in public, he was always unable to devote himself to it in his heart, and there was always a sentence that echoed in his ears and lingered.
"What is a gentleman? Will you not save yourself when you see death? Is it because I am a demon clan, is it because I threaten those so-called Daomen holy lands, is it because of that uncertain possibility, you will not save you from death?"
This sentence would jump out from time to time and echo in Su Bai's ears, and his heart couldn't settle down after all, he thought about it and couldn't let go: "I stand up for virtue and righteousness, what am I worried about, what am I afraid of, my so-called way of a gentleman, is the ten virtues really fake at all, is it that I deceived myself and only did superficial work?"
"What is benevolence? Benevolence, benevolence, when do I have the heart of fraternity, how can I have the heart of tolerance, I only have myself in my heart, I only think about my own righteousness, without the heart of heaven and earth, this will lose fairness. I give money to the beggar who begs on the roadside, like an old beggar, this is benevolence, and I regard him as equal to the rich and noble. Why does it change its taste when you get here?"
"Whether it's a demon or a person, heaven and earth are all equal, I think it's a demon, and it may harm the common people and not save it, this is immorality, it's like if I encounter Sun Dongheng's oppression of kindness and fear that he won't help, lose virtue and lose courage. ”
"Although it is a demon, I must also treat him equally, and I will be responsible for it when I save him, who can restrain him? That is me, if there is no law of restraint, how can I be rescued? Since I am asked to save him, the initiative should be with me, and I should make an oath to bind him, and if there is a law and covenant when I save him in the future, I will be justified in restraining him. ”
Thinking of this, Su Bai got up and hurried towards Fulong Valley.
In the valley, a dry demon king was depressed and settled in one place, but suddenly noticed something strange in the valley, and immediately converged with the valley, and saw that he stepped here again after ten days of separation.
Facing the nearly ten peerless demon kings in the valley who could pinch him to death with a single move of his fingers, Su Bai was not afraid, and his mind was calm.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break into. The Tiger King gritted his teeth, deep in his palm, and the fire on his palm flashed: "I said, if you step into here again, I will tear you alive." ”
Saying that, the Tiger King was about to do it.
"I want to see Qinglong!" Before the tiger palm arrived in front of him, he immediately stopped when he heard Su Bai's words.
The Tiger King frowned slightly: "You want to see the Holy Venerable?"
"Yes, it's not impossible to get you out, but I have to ask Qinglong to promise me a few conditions. Su Bai said.
"Boy, you can do it if you have the conditions, but I hope you have a little self-knowledge, if you see the Holy Venerable, if you are open to the river and have disrespected the Holy Venerable, even if you risk being punished by the Holy Venerable, I will kill you. The Tiger King glared at Su Bai fiercely and turned to leave.
Su Bai knew that the Tiger King was going to take him to see Qinglong, he followed behind the Tiger King in no hurry, and from time to time the strange and somewhat familiar Dongtian appeared in front of him again, Qinglong was still dormant there, his body was pressed by the mountain, and only one head was outside, seeing Su Bai's arrival, Qinglong's sloppy gaze condensed again, which was quite unbelievable.
"What?" Qinglong asked inexplicably.
"I can promise you to get you out in the future when I have the power to save you, but you must promise me a few conditions. Su Bai bluntly stated his intention to come back.
"What conditions, you say!" Qinglong is also very refreshing, or can't wait, he has been suppressed here for thousands of years, he can't wait to get out, although he knows that this may have to wait for a long time, but at least there is hope, not so far away that there will never be a day of time.
"If I rescue you in the future, it has nothing to do with me whether you take revenge or not, I will not interfere, but there is one article, there is a debtor and a debtor, you can take revenge on those who were unkind and unrighteous back then, and you can take revenge one by one, but you must not kill innocents indiscriminately, if those who have no grievances with you are also innocently killed by you, I will make enemies of you. Su Bai said, and then said: "There is one more point, I hope that those demon kings under your command can also give up hatred and not take revenge on innocent humans, as long as you promise me these two things, I promise you to come here to save you when you have the ability in the future." ”
"That's it?" Qinglong asked with a surprised expression.
"That's it!"
"It's that simple?" Qinglong asked again.
"It's as simple as that. ”
"Okay!" Qinglong laughed: "I, Qinglong Rain, swear here, if one day I have Su Bai's help to see the sky, I will only investigate the people who were untrustworthy and forgetful, never kill innocents indiscriminately, and order my subordinates not to kill innocent mortals indiscriminately. ”
"I, Su Bai, swear here that if one day I have the ability to rescue the green dragon from the rain, I will do my best to help him, and if I violate this oath, I will be destroyed and I will fall into Yama forever. Su Bai looked at the green dragon and covered with rain: "Gentleman, how can you swear alone, I also swear here, seniors should rest assured." ”
After swearing, the trace of uneasiness in Su Bai's heart suddenly disappeared, his heart was open, his thoughts were clear, and there was no trouble.
"Okay, very good, I said, as long as you are willing to help me, I will give you great benefits, there are remnants of my command in this Fulong Valley, and there are countless treasures, you can choose at will. Qinglong looked at the Tiger King with a happy face: "Tiger King, whether I can go out or not should be on Su Bai Xiaoyou's body, I know that you were angry before, and I know why you are angry, but Su Bai Xiaoyou also has his considerations, otherwise he will not come back, so don't be rash and meet all Su Xiaoyou's requirements, go." ”
"Yes, Holy Venerable!" The Tiger King no longer had his previous angry appearance at this moment, and changed to an easy-going face: "Su Daoyou, please, if you need it, you can say everything, even if we try our lives, we will meet Daoyou." ”
"What do I need as a monk who has just entered the realm of monasticism? Su Bai and the Tiger King left together, and the conversation was still the same, he himself had no hatred for the Tiger King, let alone a grudge, so it was naturally easy to let go.
Su Bai walked in the forest, thinking in his heart, as he said, he has just stepped into the threshold of cultivation now, and what he lacks most is the perception and accumulation of the realm.
"That's right. Su Bai suddenly stopped and looked at the Tiger King: "I want to make a guqin, I wonder if the Tiger King can find materials for me?"
"Guqin?" The Tiger King was full of suspicion: "I am a demon clan, and I am not good at artifacts, so I don't know much about this instrument, so it is better to ask Snake Ji and others, brainstorm ideas, and see which material is the most suitable and exquisite for this guqin." ”
"That's very good. ”
