No matter what kind of person you are, you should always cherish your life.
In the early generations of the Five Immortals Sect, they may have felt that the kindness of the masters who taught medicine and allowed these Miao barbarians to escape from their backward life was more important than the faith. The saint was willing to burn herself as a sacrifice.
But after a few generations, the kindness will gradually weaken, and the desire for life will become stronger and stronger.
The Five Immortals Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. If someone hadn't taken care of it, who would have persisted in this cruel tradition?
Feng Ziyue's expression changed, "You mean, someone is forcing you?"
Gan Ningshuang smiled and shook her head, "It can't be considered coercion. This is what our ancestors promised. We Miao people keep our promise. Even after a thousand years, we should abide by it..."
"They protect the lineage and watch each generation of saints sacrifice themselves. This is what they should do."
Gan Ningshuang said it calmly, as if she was not talking about her own life and death, but about someone else.
The ominous premonition in Feng Ziyue's heart became stronger and stronger. Although Gan Ningshuang spoke carelessly, it seemed that every word contained a profound meaning. He forced a smile and said, "Teacher, what are you talking about? When things happen, we will find a solution.
…”
Gan Ningshuang suddenly opened her eyes, smiled coquettishly, raised her head and took another sip of wine.
"...Just tonight, I just broke through the threshold of the seventh-grade pharmacist and stepped into the innate!" Her voice was as low as a gnat, almost inaudible, but in Feng Ziyue's ears, it was
Like a thunderbolt.
Breakthrough!
In other words, Gan Ningshuang has become an innate pharmacist, and she claims to be the last person of the Five Immortals Sect. Therefore, the identity of the saint in this sect, without knowing it, will naturally fall on her head.
In other words, she has met the conditions for sacrifice.
"teacher!"
Feng Ziyue exclaimed, his face changed drastically.
"What are you worried about?" Gan Ningshuang lazily straightened up with a smile on her face, "No one can die. It's just that the teacher didn't expect that the time when we get together with you would be so short - you are quite talented in medicine. In the future,
Your achievements are definitely not inferior to those of your teacher. And if you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. I have been worried that after I leave, no one will give you guidance, but you have accepted an innate pharmacist..."
She pursed her lips and took another sip of wine. She seemed to be choking on the drink and coughed twice.
"Although Mr. Tao Mu is rigid, he still has a solid foundation in medicine. If you don't understand anything, just ask him for advice, and you will be successful in the future."
Gan Ningshuang was calm and unhurried in the face of death, as if she was laying out her funeral arrangements.
"Teacher, since you are the only one left in the Five Immortals Sect, why do you still need to abide by this oath? Over the past thousand years, countless saints have been sacrificed, and the Miao people have rewarded their kindness. It should be enough - if you insist on...
If this is the case, wouldn’t Teacher Gongyang be sad again?”
If Gong Yangxi wanted to prevent Gan Ningshuang's mother from self-sacrifice and even fell out with them and even fought with the so-called guardian, now if he knew that Gan Ningshuang would still take this path, he would never agree.
Naturally, Feng Ziyue couldn't just watch her die. This custom and tradition had lasted for thousands of years, and there was really no reason why she had to abide by it. Moreover, the person who passed down the medicine in the first place was too cruel. Teaching medicine was a kindness.
But forcing people to immolate themselves as sacrifices is simply like a devil.
This kind of thing has been going on for thousands of years. No wonder Gongyang Xihui went berserk that day.
Gan Ningshuang is now in her prime, so it is naturally impossible for her to say that she wants to die.
She sighed softly, "It is true that there are still a lot of unfinished business. Of the four innate elixirs you gave me, I have only tried one. The other three have been figured out. It will take about a year.
, and it will bear fruit - the two prescriptions given by Mr. Taomu, I am considering cutting down the medicinal materials, and I think I can make them using the blood refining method."
"Also, I haven't figured out how to use those magical medicinal materials you brought back. I'm really not willing to say that I'm going to die now..."
A wry smile appeared on Gan Ningshuang's lips, she threw up the gourd, waved her red sleeves lightly, and took another sip of wine.
"Then ignore the sacrifice and just pretend that the Five Immortals Sect no longer exists..."
Feng Ziyue was also lucky. If he hadn't come back by chance, Gan Ningshuang would have disappeared just two days later. Then he would have made the same mistakes as in his previous life. What's more, he had already become a teacher in this life.
The relationship is also very harmonious. Although it is not a regret left in the previous life, imperfect situations are not allowed to occur in this life.
"Isn't he going to die..."
Gan Ningshuang had a look of confusion on her face and shook her head, "How can this thousand-year oath be broken easily? If we break the oath, I'm afraid there will be disaster..."
She had grown up in such an environment since she was a child, and the concept of sacrifice in return had long been ingrained in her mind. Although she cherished life, she was still hesitant to make a decision when the trouble came.
"Besides," she suddenly smiled bitterly, "even if I want to live a secret life, there are still people who don't want to, but he came very quickly..."
At the same time, Feng Ziyue also felt that there was a fierce aura approaching in the distance. He turned around suddenly and saw a man in black coming through the air with a fierce momentum. He was sliding under the moon with his arms spread out, like a fierce night beast.
Like an owl.
"The Guardian Messenger has finally arrived..."
Feng Ziyue suddenly stood up and stood in front of Gan Ningshuang. He saw the man in black turned over and landed on the corner of the cornice, swaying in the wind. He was wearing a black turban and his face was full of ferocious looks.
, wearing a black robe, fluttering in the wind, very arrogant.
"Gan Ningshuang——"
This person's voice was like a night owl, shouting Gan Ningshuang's name loudly, the roar was hoarse, and it sounded like metal scraping. When you hear it, it makes your skin crawl and makes you feel very uncomfortable.
"The fifty-sixth generation of the Holy Lady of the Five Immortals Sect has now become an innate medicine master. If you don't burn yourself as a sacrifice as soon as possible, then when will you wait!"
He opened his mouth to ask people to self-immolate, but this guardian messenger had no intention of being accommodating at all.
Gan Ningshuang gave a wry smile and was about to speak, but she saw Feng Ziyue standing in front of her.
"Wait!"
Feng Ziyue waved his hand, "Senior, this vulgar custom of self-immolation and sacrifice by the Five Immortals Sect has been going on for thousands of years, so why should it continue? My teacher is in his prime, and he has great experience in studying medicine. He can make further progress in the future, Guangda
Menlin - even the senior who taught medicine back then would be proud of it if he heard about it, why must he kill someone?"
The man in black regarded Feng Ziyue as nothing at first, but now that he saw him coming to stop him, his expression changed and he sneered, "Who are you? Are you here to interfere with our sect's business?"
"Boy..." Gan Ningshuang's complexion changed slightly and she grabbed Feng Ziyue's sleeve. She hurriedly squeezed in front of Feng Ziyue and said in panic: "Guardian Messenger, please don't be offended. This boy has nothing to do with our Five Immortals Sect.
You don’t need to pay attention to him!”
Feng Ziyue's eloquent talk just now reminded her of the situation on the day of her mother's sacrifice. Gongyang Xi was also like this. He stood in front of him and spoke uprightly, but in the end he got a tragic result.
How could she allow Feng Ziyue to make the same mistake again after Gongyang Xi had learned from the past? Gongyang Xi was lucky and could break his innate talent again twenty years later. This child was still young, so why should he suffer for these decades?
The guardian messenger in black sneered and waved his hand, "That's all, I don't care what you do. Anyway, as long as you burn yourself obediently and let me complete this task, forget it... Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He stretched out his hand and took out a bright flame from his sleeve.
The flame was burning loudly, but I don't know how he managed to put it in his sleeve without letting his arms and sleeves get burned. The flame was golden yellow, and the flame was beating, and it was blown by the cold night wind.
The burning becomes more intense.
"The bright fire is here, Gan Ningshuang doesn't come forward and burns himself!"
Gan Ningshuang looked back at Feng Ziyue, gritted her teeth, and was about to step forward, but Feng Ziyue grabbed her arm.
"Teacher, you can't go!"
Gan Ningshuang was startled, "Boy, let go quickly. If the guardian is offended, even you..."
But I heard the guardian messenger in black smile coldly, "They say Miao girls are passionate, and as expected, they have to pull out so many tricks every time, which makes me spend a lot of effort - twenty years ago, it was your mother, right?
?The boy with the sword was also infatuated. After he taught me a lesson, he never imagined that he would be like this again twenty years later!"
Feng Ziyue's expression changed. He knew that this person was the master who had poisoned his teacher Gong Yangxi. He never expected that they would meet on a narrow road today.
"It turns out that you are the one who made my teacher suffer for twenty years. It just so happens that I want to learn what your guardian angel is capable of!"
With a cry, the long sword was unsheathed. Feng Zi, Yue Yuan and Yue Zhi stood in front of Gan Ningshuang, refusing to let her pass.
"Xiao Fengzi..." Gan Ningshuang's face was pale, and she grabbed his sleeve, "You can't do this, you are no match for him!"
The guardian messenger's martial arts are magical and strange. Gongyang Xi couldn't even take a single move back then. Although Feng Ziyue has made rapid progress now, he is still young and has no innate talent after all. How can he be the opponent of this old guy?
The guardian messenger in black sneered, "So you are that boy's disciple. Hahaha, it's funny. Back then, we were a teacher and my mother, and now we are a disciple and my daughter. It's a pity that I want to beat the couple.
Got it!"
With a flick of his sleeve, he had already put the bright fire into his sleeve. He stretched out his skinny finger and lightly swiped it, and a burst of energy surged towards his face.
"Since you insist on coming forward, let you taste what your master tasted!"
He pressed his fingers, and the energy hit his face. Before Feng Ziyue made contact, he felt that this energy was strange, and he did not dare to neglect it. He held up the sword flower to counterattack this energy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this energy came into contact with the sword body, it dived in like a fish swimming into the water. Feng Ziyue knew something was wrong, and flicked his wrist, Taixuan Purple Energy surged out, shattering the energy into pieces.
This avoids the danger of energy entering the body.
"Huh?"
The black-clothed guardian messenger was also surprised, "This disciple's ability is much higher than that of his master back then. He was actually able to break through my sky-shielding profound energy lock——"
This sky-covering profound energy lock is extremely magical. It is specially designed to deal with warriors. It can lock the profound energy in the warrior's body in the meridians and cannot escape. Naturally, it cannot be improved. Gongyang Xi suffered from this disadvantage back then. In the past twenty years,
, Xuanqi cultivation was locked in the martial arts realm. If he hadn't found a unique way and created the method of body refining, he would have been just a martial artist at most in his lifetime.
Feng Ziyue took the move and was secretly surprised.
The opponent's moves were weird, and the energy was so pervasive that if it weren't for the extremely sharp characteristics of his Taixuan Purple Energy, he would have suffered a small loss if he had shattered it and allowed it to enter his body.
The strength of this guardian messenger is indeed not simple.
Feng Ziyue senses the world, and with the special effect of the Taixuan Sensing Chapter, he can sense that the guardian messenger's strength is beyond the innate, but his strength is limited to that of Ji Mu, but this weird move is stronger than that of several people from Lihua Palace.
Too much.
Moreover, he had never seen this kind of martial arts in his previous life, but he didn't know where it was spread.
He was shocked in his heart, but he didn't know that the guardian messenger was even more surprised. The skill of this sky-covering mysterious energy lock was secretly passed down by their lineage, and was specially used to deal with the saints of the Five Immortals Sect who were unwilling to self-immolate. Since these saints have become innate
Many pharmacists have also become innate warriors and are powerful, but under the special effect of this sky-shielding mysterious energy lock, they have no resistance.
I didn't expect that this kid, who was obviously just an acquired skill, could actually offset the strength of the Heaven-Zhiding Xuanqi Lock. This is really strange!
Although he didn't go all out and just pointed a finger casually, this was something unprecedented.
Gan Ningshuang was also surprised. Before that, everything was almost the same as Gong Yang Xi's. He also had a disagreement and made a move. However, Gong Yang Xi was knocked down with one move. He could only watch her mother being killed by the guardian messenger.
Take away and incinerate without the power to resist. When Gan Ningshuang saw the Guardian Envoy take action just now, Gan Ningshuang's heart was in her throat. She wished she could step forward and take the strength of Feng Ziyue to save him from suffering in the next few decades.
.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ziyue stepped forward with his sword and cracked the move as if nothing had happened, causing the guardian messenger to exclaim in surprise.
"Boy, you are very capable, why do you have to get stuck on this? There are so many good women in the world, why do you like this one alone?"
The guardian messenger's move was ineffective, and his heart was slightly moved. He did not want to waste any effort and tried to persuade him. Gan Ningshuang's face turned red when she heard this, and she spat, "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Fengzi is my disciple, you let him go.
Can I go with you myself?"
"If he keeps pestering you, how can you get away?" The guardian envoy said coldly: "What's wrong with the teacher's disciples? Wasn't his master, the male sheep, also a disciple of your mother, Mrs. Huaying? Isn't he deeply in love?
?”
It turns out that the person in Gongyang Xi's heart was not Gan Ningshuang, whom he had always regarded as his sister, but Mrs. Huaying in her prime. Only then did Feng Ziyue finally understand that he had misunderstood the teacher's feelings in his previous life -
—After all, the teacher is embarrassed about the love between teacher and student, so he can only talk about Gan Ningshuang from time to time and express his love for her.
Gan Ningshuang's face turned red, but she couldn't explain it to this weird guardian messenger at this time, but Feng Ziyue's heart was clear, and no matter what this man said, he didn't take it to heart.
"Guardian Messenger, you'd better retreat quickly. As long as I'm here, I won't allow you to harm a hair on my teacher's head!"
The face of the guardian messenger in black changed, and his tone became even colder, "I originally wanted to let you live - but you forced me to do this!"
