Lu Qian used Yinyuan as a shield to block the famous blow of the six purifying knives.
When Yinyuan saw the light of the sword falling, he was so frightened that he screamed, but the next moment, when he saw that the sword with a terrifying aura could not cut off even one of his hairs, he couldn't help but grin.
: "This little nun, it turns out, is all she looks like!"
Master Langyue's expression suddenly changed.
She took a deep look at Yinyuan, and ripples of void rippled behind her. Just as she was about to escape, Lu Min, who was tied up by the Jueshen Rope, had already recited a secret spell.
There was a loud noise, and a bolt of thunder fell from the sky. Accompanied by Lu Min's secret incantation, a white bone with a height of six feet in the thunder flashed with blurred Buddha light, and strode out. This was a white bone skeleton.
, but what is different from a serious skeleton is that every bone joint on this skeleton is interlocked with each other, forming a lotus-like lock shape.
What's more, this skeleton is as white as snow, flawless, and shrouded in the blurred Buddha's light. This white skeleton does not appear ferocious, but has a peaceful Zen feel.
Baigu walked out of the lightning, grabbed the Jueshensuo with both hands, and shook it slightly.
With a 'buzz', the two divine ropes that made Lu Min unable to struggle turned into two obedient spiritual snakes, entangled obediently around the wrist of the white bone. The white bone turned around and looked towards Master Langyue.
, without making a sound, the ripples in the void behind Master Lang Yue were suddenly smoothed away by an invisible force.
Master Lang Yue looked at the white bones in shock: "The Supreme White Bones View... is more capable of intimidating Jueshensuo... Which one of the Discipline Academy is the first to face you? You are... neither alive nor dead, half alive and half dead, half alive, half alive, half dead.
Reincarnation...this is the Zen of life, death, and glory again!"
"The Supreme White Bones Temple and the Withering Zen of Life and Death, these two Buddhist dharma are incompatible with each other. How can you integrate them into one body? Who are you..."
The skeleton grinned. If there was still flesh on his face, he must be smiling. But at this moment, his 'smile' had a strange smell. He raised his head and looked at Master Lang Yue, who was hovering above his head.
With the six pure knives flying, Master Lang Yue's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly shouted softly and pointed towards the hovering scimitar.
The scimitar turned into a ray of light and struck down towards the bones.
But there were still three inches away from the bones of the head, and this ray of light suddenly froze. It was like an old dog that had been separated from its owner for dozens of miles, and under the indulgence and drive of its new owner, it went to attack and bite a 'stranger' on the street.
, but the old dog suddenly smelled the familiar scent from decades ago from this 'stranger'... He immediately hesitated.
"Oops!" Master Lang Yue was a little dumbfounded: "Which immortal are you?"
Lu Min snorted coldly and scolded Master Lang Yue angrily: "You should be beaten for speaking out of control... Is this the Buddha treasure of the Discipline Academy of Landa Holy Land that you are allowed to use so wantonly?"
"Otherwise?" A sneer came from far away in the void.
Behind Master Lang Yue, the ripples in the void shook again, and the void that had been sealed by the bones with great power burst open. A skeleton was extremely tall and majestic, but the skin and flesh were shriveled. A skinny monk who could be called a skinny monk slowly walked through the cracked void.
Get out.
This skinny monk's skin is as blazing as fire, as red as a layer of plasma. Although he is extremely thin, his thick eyebrows are like two big knives, arrogantly crossing his cheeks, and paired with a pair of angry dragon eyes, he carries an evil spirit.
Overflowing, majestic in all directions.
He was a huge monk with only a dirty linen wrapped around his waist. His exposed body was covered with all kinds of scars left by ice, fire, cuts with knives, axes, and even bites from poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, beasts and birds of prey.
scar.
Those who caused these wounds on him, whether they were ice, fire, knives, axes, or even snakes, insects, animals, etc., were obviously extraordinary things. These scars had clear and unusual Taoist rhymes and traces of information, and everyone's eyes fell on each of his scars.
Above, visions appeared one after another before my eyes, showing what the great monk looked like when he was injured.
The scars on this great monk's body are densely packed and overlapping. There are at least dozens of scars that have been accumulated for many years in a small area. So when everyone takes a look at him, they see many tragic scenes - this man's past experience
, the end is full of disasters, and has experienced countless disasters, and basically there is no peaceful day!
‘Ascetic’, and that’s the kind of extreme, extreme ascetic!
Lu Qian saw the clear scars on the great monk's body that exuded a biting cold air. Through these scars, he could see that for a long time recently, in an extremely long period of time, this great monk had been carrying a lot of burdens.
He was seriously injured, so he huddled up in a dark ice cave, illuminated only by a few bronze lamps.
In this cave, there are hundreds of millions of ice dragons surrounding him. The ice dragons are all pale and white. They spit out immeasurable ice at all times to bombard his body, attack his soul, and give him a feeling similar to being cut into pieces with a thousand knives.
torture.
Lu Qian even noticed that the great monk should be performing secret techniques in the cave to repair some extremely terrible injuries in his body... But while he was healing his injuries, he also used these billions of ice dragons to perform secret techniques.
, tempering oneself... This kind of asceticism, Lu Qian thought that he could not learn it!
This can hardly be considered asceticism.
It’s almost considered torture!
Moreover, although this great monk's whole body was covered with a faint Buddha's light, from his bloody skin, vicious appearance, and an unsettling animalistic aura coming from his body, Lu Qian always felt that this guy...
Shouldn’t it be considered a human being?
The great monk strode out without saying a word. He stepped directly in front of the Bone Skeleton and struck him in the chest with his palm.
As a result, the flow of time slowed down, and space was suddenly stretched, compressed, and overlapped, just like a noodle worker showing off his craftsmanship kneading dough wantonly. Extremely abnormal changes occurred in space...
Time, space, and then the other five elements, yin and yang and other great avenue fluctuations are all clearly manifested between Bai Gu and the red-skinned monk. The laws of the great avenues suddenly burst out like metal wires connected with high-voltage electricity.
It emits a dazzling light that makes people unable to look directly.
The six purifying knives let out a high-pitched cry, and circled rapidly around the heads of the white bones and the red-skinned monks. A circle of light 'chichi' swirled around, cutting the void with a 'chichichi' sound, and it was constantly torn out.
A sharp crack... This Buddhist weapon with great spirituality has become chaotic, and I don't know which one to chop!
Baigu finally said: "It's you!"
The red-skinned monk sneered: "It's me... I didn't expect that your so-called 'nirvana' actually left a skeleton... Even if you die, you won't die cleanly... You haven't achieved the six goals yet."
Pure, not yet truly enlightened!”
Bai Gu sneered: "How can you die cleanly if you have worries? Isn't it the same for you?"
The red-skinned monk smiled strangely: "I'm different, I'm different, I'm very different from you... I was originally a heretic who was overwhelmed by the violence of Buddhism and was forced to become a monk... I was forced to become a heretic of Buddhism... I was forced to become a Buddhist heretic...
Dharma protector... I can't see away, I can't figure it out, I'm destined to never be able to enlighten and become a Buddha!"
"So, I am not willing to give in, I am not willing, I struggled like crazy, tried every means to survive, and finally the injury healed, and in the current general trend, I followed the general trend and returned to the world!" The red-skinned monk's eyes opened angrily, and his eyes were filled with anger.
In the middle of it, there unexpectedly appeared the boundless sea of blood and the boundless souls of injustice. Those black and bruised souls were struggling and roaring in the boundless sea of blood. It was like a sea of blood hell, and was actually refined into his eyes.
Threads of blood-sea poisonous fire spurted out from his eyes, and a ray of blood rushed out from the top of the red-skinned monk's head, carrying one-third of the Buddhist aura and ninety-seven percent of the demonic aura, turning into a bloody Buddha flag hanging high.
Above the head, the bloody Buddha flag swayed in the wind. There was a statue with a green face and fangs, a million heads and thousands of arms, and a height of ten thousand feet. A large black and white king cobra was wrapped around its neck. There was a waning moon between the eyebrows of each head, emitting bloody flames.
The phantom of the demon god, filled with the aura of world-destroying calamity, quietly emerged.
‘Click’!
In the sky above Haojing, the void of thousands of miles was shattered.
The avenue of heaven and earth shook and roared. The entire avenue of the Supreme Taichu Heaven seemed to be in a deep sleep. Someone used a red-hot iron to severely burn the egg - the old dragon suddenly woke up and became furious.
The whole world roared furiously, and the void was suddenly covered with a thick purple-black cloud. However, countless diamond-like stars twinkled in the thick cloud, and countless rays of star light like swords and swords emerged from the thick cloud.
Stars spurted out and fell on a white skeleton and the body of a red-skinned monk.
The starlight was like a knife, cutting the bodies of the two people severely.
The body of the skeleton was cut by the starlight. Wherever the starlight passed, wisps of white Buddha light rose up and turned into white lotuses that held the starlight steadily. When the starlight rotated, the white lotus withered a few lotus petals crazily. Regardless of the starlight,
Swirling around, countless pieces of white lotus petals fell like heavy rain, but the bones were not harmed at all.
As for this great red-skinned monk, every ray of starlight cut deep wounds on his body, even exposing blue-black bones and bloody internal organs in many places.
The red-skinned monk recited strange and awkward spells, and a terrifying and twisted aura rose up from his body. The more wounds he had on his body, the more powerful his aura became, and the wounds squirmed and healed.
The speed is getting faster and faster!
Lu Qian muttered in a low voice: "Sacrifice? He is using his own flesh and blood body as a sacrifice... The more serious the injury, the stronger the power he gets inexplicably!"
"However, all power cannot be sourceless water!"
"He used his own flesh and blood and injuries as sacrifices. Is the source of his power the past? Or the future? The past has been annihilated, and the future is uncertain... His magic is just... like it came out of nothing, there is really no reason!
"
Master Lang Yue on the side heard Lu Yi's muttering. She raised her eyebrows at Lu Yi and smiled: "Monk Fa Hai, you can identify the master's move as a sacrifice, which shows that you have some insight.
...But you actually asked the question about where the guru's power comes from...it shows that even if you have some experience, you are just ordinary!"
"Perhaps you don't even know who the master is?" Master Lang Yue looked at Lu Qian with a smile.
Lu Qian's face twitched. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Brahmin?"
Lu Min suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Qian in shock.
Bai Gu and the red-skinned monk turned their heads sharply, staring at Lu Qian deeply with their eyes like daggers.
Bai Gu's eyesight is not bad, but his eyes are like knives.
And this red-skinned monk obviously had an extremely bad character, and his methods were even more cruel. His eyes, made of blood and poisonous fire, were like two sharp knives piercing Lu Qian's chest.
A clear Buddha's light swayed from the robe on Lu Qian's body. In the overlapping Buddha's light, small pure water white lotuses bloomed. The white lotus swayed in the wind, blocking these two extremely thin blood lights. "Chichi" sound.
In the film, white lotuses were being strangled one after another, but every time a white lotus was strangled, dozens of new white lotuses kept emerging. In an instant, Lu Qian's side turned into a white lotus pond, and two bloody lights were forced away.
Far far away.
The void trembled, and the countless stars shining like diamonds in the dense clouds all over the sky lit up at the same time. Countless wisps of extremely fine starlight suddenly pieced together inward. With an earth-shattering loud noise, a violent thunder with a diameter of thousands of miles came from the dense clouds.
It fell with a crash and hit Lu Qian straight down.
The further this crazy thunder falls, the smaller it becomes in size, and the more terrifying the energy becomes.
The crazy thunder was still dozens of miles away from Lu Qian's head. The thousands of miles of crazy thunder had been compressed to the thickness of a thumb. The black lightning was tens of thousands of miles long, winding and twisted, like a spear made of pure thunder, piercing Lu Qian.
Tian Ling Gai!
Obviously, the three words "Brahmin" are some kind of taboo in heaven and earth!
The old dragon that had been sleeping for many years, the Supreme Taichutian, seemed to have been severely burned on its vital parts with a red-hot iron because of the appearance of the red-skinned monk. It shook its head and became very angry. What Lu Qian said
These three words were like the provocateur holding a soldering iron, kicking one hundred and eight times at Old Long's vital part that had just been burned without mercy!
And not barefoot.
Instead, he wore combat boots inlaid with steel plates and steel nails. The steel nails were polished extremely sharp, and they were also smeared with various deadly poisons... Wearing such combat boots, he used all his strength to move towards the old dragon's egg——
The egg was kicked one hundred and eight times!
Heaven is angry!
Almost crazy, angry!
He didn't even bother to 'recognize' or 'recognize' Lu Qian's identity. Just because Lu Qian uttered the three words 'Brahman' in his mouth, the entire Supreme Taichu Heaven mobilized the void around the Haojing Continent. Just now,
In an instant, all the power of heaven and earth that could be mobilized hit Lu Qian with a fatal blow at any cost!
With this blow, Lu Qian even doubted that the entire Supreme Taichu Heaven was too lazy to even think about the way of heaven.
It’s completely a stress response, completely an ‘instinctive reaction of the body’!
The seemingly extremely thin lightning fell straight down. Lu Qian's whole body became stiff and his mind went blank. Not a single thought could arise in his mind. All the magic power in his body suddenly froze, and he could not mobilize even a single bit.
The avenues that he was usually quite close to all disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Including the Speed Avenue that Lu Yi had condensed with his direct lineage Dao Fruit, they all disappeared in Lu Yi's soul induction at this moment... Lu Yi couldn't move or think, he could only watch the fatal lightning strike towards him.
.
In his mind, Taichu Hun Tongzhu emits a gloomy light. The light rolls out and is about to rush out of Lu Qian's mind...
Yinyuan roared loudly, opened his arms, and rushed to the top of Lu Qian's head in a desperate manner, using his chest to face the violent thunder that Lu Qian had no time to resist or dodge.
'laugh'!
The stars in the sky are shining again.
Crazy thunder fell on Yinyuan's chest and penetrated straight into his body. His skin and flesh suddenly shimmered, and it was visible to the naked eye that the acupoints in Yinyuan's body suddenly lit up, like countless stardust flickering in his body.
, as if there was a nebula swirling and twisting inside his body...
Yinyuan's energy suddenly surged.
His cultivation, his magic power, and his physical strength have been greatly improved!
Then, no more!
This crazy thunder came towards Lu Qian, and it was fatal... But after Yinyuan used his own body to catch it, this fatal thunder turned into the Shiquan Dabu Dan, and it was in Yinyuan's eyes.
Unconscious and without any mental preparation, I gave him a big mouthful.
Lu Qian is jealous!
In his mind, the Taichu Confusion Bead, which was ready to rush out, flickered with a few rays of light. The faint light swept over Lu Qian's body and merged into Lu Qian's soul again.
Lu Min moved sideways in one step and moved in front of Lu Yi. He looked at Lu Yi up and down with a horrified expression: "I have confirmed that you are my child, and you are definitely not the reincarnation of some great Buddhist master... But just now
Those three words shouldn't come out of your mouth... Well, are you really the reincarnation body of a powerful Buddhist sect? Is it possible that you have hidden this from me?"
"If so, it is possible. I am just a monk from the Landa Holy Land lineage, a mere monk who keeps scriptures and preaches in an inconspicuous Buddhist scripture building...and my Buddhist sect is vast, and outside of my Landa Holy Land lineage,
There are countless virtuous and eminent monks...you...ahem!"
Lu Min suddenly laughed, clasped his hands together, and said with a triumphant smile: "If you are not the reincarnation of my great Buddhist master, then naturally it is good, naturally it is wonderful, so good, so good... If you are someone from my Buddhist sect, it is incredible, how can you hide it?
A reincarnated body with great power that surpasses my ability to detect... is also good, wonderful, good, good!"
Lu Min was very proud.
The white skeleton nodded slightly, grinned again, and smiled silently.
The red-skinned monk was staring at Lu Qian, his eyes flashing with magic light, and he didn't know how many vicious thoughts were tumbling in his heart: "The boy actually pointed out the origin of Lao Na... Yes, Lao Na was back then.
, indeed it comes from those three words... Lao Na, he was originally an ascetic immortal in the mountains... Hehe, hehe!"
"You Buddhas, if you want to become a Buddha, treat our clan as evil demons and heretics and surrender them all. If you surrender our clan, you will have merit, you will be able to kill the external demons, survive a calamity, and naturally become a Buddha!"
"Lao Na practiced asceticism back then and obtained supreme supernatural powers and supreme fruits. He was able to survive countless tribulations without dying."
"The Buddha was so shameless that he had no choice but to help me, so he actually transformed me into a heretic protector of Buddhism... Hehe!"
The red-skinned monk smiled strangely and said: "Lao Na was originally reluctant... But then the world changed drastically. Seeing those tyrannical ethnic groups all annihilated, Lao Na's family took shelter under the wings of Buddhism and actually avoided many disasters...
…This heretic protector is, to put it bluntly, a janitor trained by Buddhism!”
"Hey, hey, it's our race's nature to fight and kill!"
"How wonderful it is to be able to fight, kill, cause trouble, and have a tall Buddhist man carry it for us... How wonderful is this kind of thing? So..."
The dim light is coming over and over again.
The Third Burial Monk clasped his hands together and appeared silently aside. He smiled and bowed to Lu Min, White Bones, and the Red-skinned Monk respectively, and said with a carefree smile: "Brothers, you are all alive.
What? Haha, why is this Supreme Taichu Heaven so busy all of a sudden?"
"The young monk roughly understands your true intention."
"Then, let each of you rely on your own means?" Monk Three Burials pointed at Master Long Yue and Monk Hongskin: "What you want is for Maitreya to come to the world!"
Monk San Buran pointed to Bai Gu and Lu Min again: "You guys are thinking that you will not pretend to be 'outsiders' and use your own power to expand Buddhism."
He pointed at himself again: "And the young monk thinks that this world is completely ruined. Wouldn't it be clean and happy to simply destroy it completely, knock down everything, and start over?"
He pointed in a certain direction: "As for the group of young monks, they thought that the enemy was powerful and they were unable to resist. They wanted to start again, but they couldn't be ruthless. They wanted to bring Maitreya into the world. They also couldn't.
They are willing to have another ancestor on their head... Therefore, they just want to escape from the world passively. If they can escape for one day, just one day... It is best if they can escape from the Supreme Taichu Heaven and find a pure land of bliss where they can escape.
Have fun!"
"Tsk, tsk, the little Landa Holy Land is also like this... there are many people in the world!" The Third Burial Monk said with a smile: "That group of young monks who just want to 'live', don't pay attention to them... But we, hee, each
Just rely on means?"
Patting his chest vigorously, the Third Burial Monk smiled and bowed to Master Langyue and the Red-skinned Monk: "What the young monk wants is to reopen the world and start everything over again, so that the young monk can become the supreme Buddha in this world.
"
"Although what you two want is different from Xiao Monk's ultimate goal, the process and means are completely different!"
"In short, it will only end if this whole world is in chaos!"
Monk Three Burials licked the corner of his mouth and said softly: "So, why don't we join forces first to clear out this group of 'natives' who are obstructing us?"
The eyes of Master Langyue and the red-skinned monk suddenly turned cold.
They looked at the three-burial monk.
The Third Burial Monk smiled. The void behind him was rippling like water waves, and countless erratic and strange red figures quietly appeared behind the dimensional diaphragm that was shaking like water waves.
The red-skinned monk laughed strangely: "One day, the descendants of my clan will become your Buddhist disciples..."
After a few strange laughs, the red-skinned monk nodded slowly, and then pointed towards Yinyuan: "So... let's work together to take down this guy today... Don't you think this guy is a bit weird?
What?"
Yinyuan's face stiffened.
And around him, wisps of starlight surged out once again. Amidst the lingering fragrance, the White Snake quietly appeared beside him and put her arms around one of Yinyuan's arms.
"Who yells at me to kill my husband?" White Snake smiled brightly: "If you really want to be my husband, no one will support you?"
Behind White Snake, gorgeous flowers bloomed out of thin air.
There are peonies.
There is hibiscus.
There are peonies.
There are roses.
There are many kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and there are a dazzling array of them. A total of 3,000 flowers the size of water tanks are in full bloom.
Among the flowers, graceful female figures emerged quietly. Accompanied by the fragrant and strong fragrance of the flowers, which made people almost faint, the originally translucent female figures quickly condensed their figures.
In the void, the dragon's appearance suddenly became clear as the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth appeared. As the void trembled, countless Dao rhymes turned into torrents of starlight and fell from the sky, falling on the bodies of these women who were born from flowers, and quietly penetrated into their bodies.
Just like how the Great Emperor of Taichu used the authority of Heaven to directly turn the three thousand masters who came out of Taichu Yuan Court into powerful beings of the Great Emperor level in the blink of an eye.
The White Snake, who had disappeared for many days, had just returned. She also mobilized her authority in this world, and forcibly mobilized the power of the laws of heaven and earth to inject it into the bodies of these three thousand graceful women. Their auras were soaring, and every acupuncture point in their bodies was constantly lighting up.
rise.
Not long after, a small Emperor's Seal Dao Fruit condensed above the heads of these women, and quietly released wisps of the Emperor's Dao Pressure that was not very powerful, but extremely meaningful.
Three thousand kinds of exotic flowers are three thousand kinds of branching paths.
After all, every kind of different flowers have completely different fragrances and have their own uniqueness and magic... Therefore, the 'floral fragrance' of every exotic flower can be regarded as a 'little way to heaven'
law'.
Naturally, these three thousand species of exotic flowers and the 'little paths' they contain can also condense into a small Emperor's Seal Dao Fruit.
Although it is weak, even much weaker than the 'swamp miasma' that King Qiu Gui condensed back then...but these three thousand women who have just been born have indeed stepped into the threshold of the 'Great Emperor'.
Lu Qian's face twitched violently.
Heavenly Court, Taihutian, Taiyitian, and the three supreme beings joined forces to completely seal and imprison the supreme avenue of heaven and earth in Taichutian. The shackles of heaven and earth sealed the laws of the avenue. Lu Qian knew that as the designator of the rules, Taichu
, Tai Zhen and Tai Qi must have some tricks up their sleeves!
Sure enough.
The three of them have simply turned the entire world into their own private property, which they can transfer and squander as they please.
From this point of view, as long as the three of them survive, the fighting power of the emperor under their command will be endless!
The three thousand women had the small and fragrant Emperor's Seal Dao Fruit on their heads. They walked lightly and spread out countless bright petals. They shuttled around the White Snake like butterflies. In an instant, a colorful and fragrant tower was laid out in the sky.
A great formation soaring into the sky.
Each petal turned into a ray of sword light, spitting out cold light in the formation.
The White Snake was sitting in the middle of the formation, and the power of three thousand 'Great Emperors' was poured into her body, causing her Qi to surge suddenly. The white bones, and even the red-skinned monk, all swayed slightly and jerked backwards.
He took three steps back.
"The time has not come yet!" The red-skinned monk sighed. He took a deep look at the white lady, turned around and walked away. After three steps, he disappeared without a trace.
"My Buddha will eventually turn around. When Maitreya descends again, you evil demons and heretics must be destroyed!" Master Lang Yue bowed to White Snake with her hands together in a serious manner, and took a step back. She even connected the six pure knives and the Jueshen Cord.
No one bothered to pay attention to it, and simply disappeared into the void without a trace.
Lu Min looked at Lu Qian, and with a casual move, he took the six clean knives into his hand. He wiped the blade with his right hand, and the golden Buddha's blood washed the small scimitar. He looked at the white bones again.
Bai Gu took a deep look at Lu Qian, opened his mouth, and a stream of white Buddhist flames spurted out, swirling around the six purifying knives. The six purifying knives suddenly released a cold light and turned into a ray of light that penetrated into the center of Lu Qian's eyebrows.
.
Lu Min smiled and threw the two Absolute God Ropes to Lu Yi, then walked to Bai Gu. The two of them shook their heads and disappeared without a trace.
The Third Burial Monk laughed "hehe". He looked at the white lady who was surrounded by the large formation, then looked at Lu Ren, Yinyuan and others, and chuckled: "Everything has been destined for a long time. You and other filth will follow this side."
Let this rotten world turn into ashes?"
"Of course, there are also those who sit back and ignore...the so-called Buddhist ancestors!" The Third Burial Monk smiled strangely, and then, just like his sudden appearance, he also disappeared extremely suddenly and disappeared.
The white lady frowned slightly and sighed.
Then, she hugged Yinyuan's arm with a smile, and said softly: "Lang Jun, you are the emperor of Shenyin now, but your status is very different from back then... I think we should have a formal
For the wedding ceremony, I want to be the queen of Shenyin!"
Yinyuan's face suddenly turned bitter.
If you are the queen of the main palace, then... Thinking of the huge and unprecedented harem in her family, Yinyuan felt as if she had swallowed ten thousand galls, and it was painful from the center of her heart to the tip of her tongue.
