Chapter 52: Sacrifice of Death
The mountain gate opened with a "boom". Ling Huayin didn't squint, and kept walking along the road to the front. This is also to follow the rules here, no squinting, no looking back, and a pious heart to reach the temple inside. As she entered, the lights on both sides of the road lit up. The ancient statues on both sides stretched to the deepest part of the palace, and in front of the palace gate were two gatekeepers dressed in exotic costumes, who bowed down to her when they saw her coming.
"Please inform the spirit girl, and the sword elder of Xianze Palace will come to pay a visit. ”
"Please wait here for a moment, the Spirit Maiden has sensed the Elder's wish and has brought it to the Divine Maiden. One of the gatekeepers said respectfully.
It didn't take long for a beautiful girl in green to come out of the main hall, greet Ling Huayin, and say to Ling Huayin: "This is the first time we have met, but I have known you for a long time. The first time I heard your name was when your master came. She also paid a lot of price for you. ”
“......”
"The young man outside the mountain gate is your apprentice?" asked the spirit girl.
"Yes. ”
The spirit girl smiled at Ling Huayin and said, "I remember that when your master came, you were still the head of Xianze Palace, but I didn't expect that a hundred years later, you became a sword elder, and you also came for your own apprentice. Why would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for him? Do you know the cost?"
Ling Huayin said: "I know. The ghost and witch clan has too much burden, no matter how long they cultivate, they can't cultivate into an immortal body, their lifespan is too short, I don't have anything for him, I just hope to let him live longer, he is still so young, he shouldn't be the same as his father. If he lives to the end, I will use my lifespan to renew his life, and if I die, I will give him all my cultivation, and I will bear all the retribution of the ghost and witch clan for him. ”
The spirit girl looked at Ling Huayin with a sigh, "Human life has its own number of days, even if the number of lives is reversed, it may not be as you wish, you have to think clearly, your master does not want to see you like this." ”
"My immortal body was originally stolen, and it should have been returned a long time ago. Can the goddess help me fulfill this wish?"
The spirit girl looked at Ling Huayin with compassion and said, "Do you know what wish your master made to the goddess at that time?"
"With half of her cultivation, I will be safe for the rest of my life. ”
The spirit girl shook her head and said: "This is just what you think, at that time, you had just crossed into an immortal body, and everyone in Dongling Mountain was arresting you, in order to prevent you from being found by them, your master asked the goddess to erase your crimes in Dongling Mountain, and she was willing to use half of her life to make up for your mistakes, and suffer from the third widow." ”
Ling Huayin looked at the spirit girl in shock, only to hear the spirit girl say again: "Is it that you don't want to believe it, when you arrived at Xianze Palace, you can see that the people of Dongling Mountain will trouble you again? If it weren't for your master to atone for your sins, do you think the people of Dongling Mountain would let you go?"
Ling Huayin was extremely shocked, she was sad, "Master......"
"Now that you know the truth, you can change your mind. ”
However, Ling Huayin said: "Since I have arrived here, I will not regret it, it is I who indulged in the past and failed the master, and the master's kindness, I can only repay it in the next life." But Xiao Mu is a good boy, I can't bear to let him suffer, please ask the goddess to fulfill it. ”
Seeing that Ling Huayin had made up her mind and could not turn back, the spirit girl said regretfully: "Alas, in that case, you wait here and allow me to tell the goddess." ”
"Thank you. ”
Besides, outside the mountain gate, several huge eagles launched a fierce attack on Su Mu together, although they were extremely ferocious, they were all subdued by Su Mu. Now, Su Mu is imposing outside the mountain gate, shouting: "What about your leader, why don't you come to save you soon, but I'm afraid of me?"
At this moment, a snow-white bird that was bigger than the eagle slid down from the mountain gate, Su Mu looked at it, guessed that this must be the snow sculpture that the head said, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he was ready to fight again, who expected that the big eagle actually spoke.
"Stop, young man. The snow sculpture looked majestic, but its voice sounded like that of a 5 or 60-year-old man.
Su Mu withdrew the earth-shattering sword from its scabbard, stepped on an eagle in a domineering manner, and said to the snow eagle: "Why did you only come now, do you see? Your subordinates are all defeated by my subordinates." ”
The snow sculpture hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you get off it first, don't look at their huge size, but they are only equivalent to your human children a few years old." ”
"Child?" Su Mu looked down and saw that the eagle's eyes showed a fierce light, so he said, "Just now they were fierce and abnormal when they attacked me, didn't you fool me?"
"Eh, how dare I fool you, my child's life is at your feet. Whatever you ask, I'll meet you, as long as you don't hurt them. Snow Sculpture said.
Su Mu smiled: "Okay, send me back to Xianze Palace, and promise not to let your children hurt the people who go up the mountain in the future." ”
"It's easy to do. However, the young people misunderstood us, we were supposed to guard this mountain gate, and we would not hurt people casually, just because you caused the previous avalanche, they thought you were an intruder, and they came to attack you. Normally, if the head and elder of Zhonghuang Mountain came, they would be directly released. Snow Sculpture explains.
"Then they really have good eyesight, don't you see me and my master come up together?" said that the eagle's eye was excellent, but it didn't seem to be the case.
Snow Eagle smiled: "They are not for people but for things, although you and your master came up together, but your master is immortal, and you have an evil aura on your body, eagles are born with sensitivity, you really can't blame them for attacking you." ”
Su Mu turned his sword horizontally, frowned and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about!
Seeing that he was angry, the snow sculpture hurriedly said, "Don't young people know what evil is in him?"
Su Mu was suddenly puzzled in his heart, and said solemnly: "If you tell me carefully, why is there an evil aura in me?"
The snow sculpture stared at Su Mu for a while, and then said, "I did detect the evil aura on you just now, but I don't know why it's not there this time, what evil things can you carry on you?"
Su Mu thought about it carefully, took out a bead from Sumeru, and asked, "Could it be that you are talking about this thing?"
The snow sculpture looked at it and said, "Although I don't know this thing, this thing is indeed too evil." Maybe that's why they're attacking you. ”
Su Mu let go of his hanging heart, hurriedly put away the blood spirit bead, and said: "This thing is valuable, it was given to me by my master, no matter whether it is good or bad, I can't lose it." It's nothing, you send me back quickly, I can get back to the master. ”
The snow sculpture flew to the edge of the cliff, and Su Mu jumped on its back at once, only to see the snow sculpture flap its wings, and then carried Su Mu to Xianze Palace.
It didn't take long for Ling Huayin to return to Xianze Palace, and the head and Ling Huayin were already standing in front of the palace gate waiting, and they didn't know when Ling Huayin would come back. Su Mu stood on the snow sculpture and waved his hand downward, looking high-spirited and arrogant.
"Isn't that Senior Brother Su Mu?" Soon, some disciples gathered in front of the mountain gate to watch the excitement.
"Look! That's the Holy Bird of Zhonghuang Mountain, Qingyun Snow Sculpture!"
The snow sculpture carried Su Mu to soar leisurely above the Xianze Palace, attracting many disciples to watch, and within a day, the Qingyun Snow Sculpture carrying Su Mu flying in the air spread throughout the Xianze Palace. I don't know if it's because of this incident, Su Mu felt that the disciples of Xianze Palace suddenly became friendly to him.
After being promoted to a senior disciple, Su Mu naturally did not follow a large group of disciples to attend morning classes like before, and the place of class was changed from Zhengde Palace to Taiji Hall. But for Su Mu, moving to the Taiji Hall to take classes is no different except for being a little closer to the Qingluan Hall in Linghuayin.
Among the new disciples, in addition to the Zhou brothers and sisters, there were two people who impressed Su Mu, sitting next to him was a short man, who looked like a girl, with a round face that looked like 14 years old at most, and often held a black cat, teasing it when he had nothing to do. Miraculously, every time he brought the cat to class, but not once was he discovered by the teacher who was in class.
Although the other is not good-looking, always sits in the corner, and does not like to talk to people, but once Su Mu overheard him speak, he immediately recognized his voice. This person was the man who was talking to Uncle Bai Zhen in the back of the house that day. Su Mu saw that he was honest and honest, and he didn't look like a person who would say that kind of explicit love words, and he really responded to a sentence: People can't look good.
And among the two people, the one with the cat is named Shang Yue, who especially likes to talk to Su Mu, at first he was discussing his homework, and over time, he asked Su Mu about Ling Huayin, and talked endlessly about his reverence for the sword elder. But after asking too much, Su Mu didn't want to deal with him.
One day, when Zhou Yao invited Su Mu to have lunch together, Su Mu saw several people arguing, one of them was the disciple who didn't like to talk, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Sister Zhou Yao, who is that person?"
Zhou Yao replied: "That person is Cen Siwen, who has just jumped from a second-level disciple to a senior disciple, and he is always bullied by others on weekdays, so he has quarreled with them for some reason." ”
Su Mu was puzzled: "Isn't the disciple level of Xianze Palace promoted at the first level, how did he jump from the second level to the advanced level?"
Shang Yue suddenly joined in at some point and said, "Cen Siwen likes Uncle Bai Zhen, don't you know? This trial of Master Bai Zhen has helped Cen Siwen a lot, otherwise he would not have been promoted to a senior disciple." ”
As soon as Shang Yue finished saying this, Zhou Yao covered his mouth, as if he was afraid that others would listen to it.
Su Mu thought to himself: It turns out that the promotion system of this Xianze Palace is still so greasy. looked at Cen Siwen again, their quarrel had not stopped, Cen Siwen seemed to be trying his best to refute something, and his face was red. Su Mu was a nosy person, so he ate his meal peacefully on the side.
Shang Yue "woo woo" a few times, broke free of Zhou Yao's hand, and said, "Oh, senior sister, many people know about this, there is no need to hide it, they must have quarreled over this matter." ”
Zhou Yao glared at him and said, "This matter is about Uncle Bai Zhen's reputation, how can it be hearsay!"
"I'm full, I'm going back to sword practice. Su Mu had an attitude of not caring about himself, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left.
