predecessors
Ying Long reappeared in the East China Sea, intending to invade the human world and cause a wave of blood. In order to stop this ancient god and demon and protect his only disciple, Immortal Mo Bai risked his own life and sacrificed his magic to send Yue Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming out of danger.
, but he was hit by Yinglong's burning fire, and his body was burned instantly, leaving only two spiritual lights, one black and one white, scattered between the sky and the earth...
The god general Cang Ming points out that if the four magic weapons can be reunited: Zixiao Sword, Soul-fixing Pearl, Qiankun Cauldron, and Heaven-Peering Flag, Mobai Immortal Lord will be able to find a glimmer of hope. In order to save his master, the human girl Yue Xiaozhu,
The demon spirit Ming Snake? Gui Hai Ming, and the rebellious disciple of Chiyun Tower? Bi Fei, embarked on a journey of treasure hunting together.
However, Venerable Ying Long has taken the lead: "Nine Glory" Xuanyi and "Soul Evil" Emperor Slave led the demons to attack Tianxuan Sect and kill the disciples in the sect, turning them into living demon corpses who only know how to kill. If
If Xiaozhu and the others had not arrived in time, this century-old sect would have been almost destroyed. Under the trial of Master Xuanqi, the head of Tianxuan, Xiaozhu and the others each defeated their inner demons and borrowed the Tianxuan Sect's most precious treasure, the Zixiao Sword.
.
When they broke into Chiyun Tower at night, Xiaozhu and the others accidentally met Lu Ling, a warrior from the Crossing Valley. The two of them didn't know each other before fighting, but by chance, they actually became partners. And in the process of stealing the Qiankun Cauldron
, Chiyun Tower’s practice of imprisoning and torturing spirit beasts and taking their internal organs to make medicine was exposed. In order to save these suffering spirit beasts, and to prevent the furious spirit beasts from harming the entire sect’s brothers, Bi Fei offered sacrifices
He lost his own life. Although he was rescued by a spiritual beast, he was also poisoned by a strange poison and only had one month left to live.
In Shifang Hall, Xiaozhu and his party met Lin Baize, the chief disciple of Shifang Hall. By coincidence, they uncovered a mystery that happened more than ten years ago. In the small town where Lin Baize's adoptive mother, Aunt Liu, lived, the residents were safe during the day.
, once it falls at night, it will turn into a walking corpse under the influence of the turbid air. The mythical beast that calls itself "Gongzi Xiaobai"? Bai Ze was saved by Aunt Liu more than ten years ago. In order to repay his past kindness, he was willing to
Using the method of bone suppression, he used his body to seal the turbid air. Lin Baize, who was named after Baize, cooperated internally and externally, secretly helping Xiaozhu and the others steal the Sky-Peeping Banner.
After gathering the four magic weapons and with the help of the divine general Cangming, Immortal Lord Mobai returned to the world. Xiaozhu and everyone were overjoyed. However, after a short period of joy, a bigger problem appeared in front of everyone: Yinglong was causing harm to the world.
It must be eliminated. Only by sacrificing the treasure of heaven, Yunshengjing, can Yinglong be sealed. And the only person in the world who knows the whereabouts of Yunshengjing is Mo Baixianjun.
When asked about the whereabouts of Yun Shengjing, Mo Bai Xianjun retreated from everyone, leaving only Yue Xiaozhu, who he raised with his own hands, almost like his own daughter. Facing Xiaozhu alone, Mo Bai Xianjun revealed a shocking secret: It turns out that Xiaozhu
It's Yun Shengjing...
Chapter 76?? Ice Soul
◎ ◎ ◎
The ice and snow are vast, the ground is covered with frost, and ice cones several feet long hang down from the roof of the cave. In this deep cave, an ice pool is like a bright mirror, exuding a biting cold air. And on the bank of the cold pool, two figures stand. Big.
The younger one is chubby and fluffy, with thick black and white fur, which adds a little warmth in this cold and snowy environment. The younger one has a petite and nimble figure, a delicate and pleasant face, and her eyes are bright and watery.
His eyes were firmly locked on the panda in front of him, with a slight smile in his eyes:
"Master, the topic of the world and the peace of China is too huge and seems far away from me. How can I, a little girl, control the people of the world and all living things? But I know that if I don't stop Yinglong,
, Brother Bai Ze and Grandma Liu who live in Pingcheng will bear the brunt. Master Xuanqi, who lent the Zixiao Sword to break our inner demons, and Mu Zizhen, who looks fierce but is actually affectionate and righteous, will fall.
Big bad luck. There are also sister Yan Ruo Shiyan who has a rough fate, and Lin Baize, who loves to take advantage of small things. They will all face disaster..."
Her voice was melodious and soft, which was very pleasant to the ears. After listening to her words, Mo Bai Xianjun's round shoulders tilted down slightly. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to have nothing to worry about in the world. At this time, he actually showed a little tiredness.
state.
"Master, I don't want those tragedies to happen again. I want to protect my relatives and friends. Brother Bi is my life-long best friend. He is gentle and kind and has saved my life several times. And Miss Lu, although she has an impatient temper, she always speaks the truth and dares to love.
Dare to hate, we will fight side by side. As for Brother Little Snake, I will never, never see Brother Little Snake blaming himself for releasing Yinglong in the past, and I will never see Master feeling guilty for concealing the whereabouts of Yun Shengjing...
"
Those warm amber eyes glowed with determination. Xiaozhu clenched his fists, looked directly at the master in front of him, and said his decision in a deep voice:
"Master, I no longer want to hide in the world and escape, I want to fight and seal Yinglong!"
The girl's words lingered in this silent and ethereal ice cave, making loud sounds. The mirror-like cold pool reflected her fresh and beautiful face, as well as her determined and persistent look.
For a moment, everything was silent. Mo Bai was silent for a long time, just looking at the girl in front of him silently with his dark eyes. On that snowy night sixteen years ago, he picked up the infant in the bamboo forest.
It became a calamity in his life. He raised her with his own hands, watched her grow from a baby to a soft and cute girl, and accompanied her through the childhood when the house was demolished and the cat hated the dog.
In a short time, she became a generous, gentle and lovely little girl, but she also had her own ideas. She was no longer a little kid running around him, sleeping soundly on his fur, letting him coax and deceive her.
Already.
But now, this child knows that she is the disciple of Yunshengjing, and knows that if she fights Yinglong and uses the power of Yunshengjing to seal this ancient god and demon, she will only end up with her soul destroyed, but she resolutely chooses what she thinks
The right path…
In an instant, Mo Bai's body was surrounded by green smoke. In the blink of an eye, he changed from the naive panda to a slender and handsome scholar in white clothes and ebony hair. Although he was speechless, his pair of ink star eyes were still...
It seemed that he had thousands of words that he wanted to say in detail to the disciple in front of him. However, even though he had mixed feelings in his heart and even though he was reluctant in every way, he did not say any words of dissuasion in the end. He just let out a helpless sigh.
Slowly spilling out of the lips:
"Well, since you have made up your mind, what can I do as a teacher? I can't knock you unconscious with a stick and carry you to the end of the world to guard you..."
Mo Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head. His handsome face showed a hint of exhaustion, and the corners of his lips that had always been raised now turned into a bitter arc:
"Girl, as a master, why don't I really want to beat you unconscious and take you away from this mortal world forever, so that you don't have to worry about this evil world anymore. But I also know that on the day when Yinglong turned the world upside down and washed the world with blood, you were an old acquaintance of yours.
No one, family or friends, can escape this disaster. On that day, not only will you not be grateful for my teacher's life-saving grace, but you will hate my teacher for going his own way..."
"No, Master, how could Xiaozhu hate you?" The girl hurriedly interrupted the other party. She eagerly grabbed the Master's sleeve and swung it gently, "If it weren't for Master's help all the way, Xiaozhu would never have lived to this age.
, has long since become a lonely ghost. Master, Master, last time you were injured by Yinglong's burning fire for us. At that time, I wished I could take Master's place. I would rather it was me who died. I just hope that Master is safe...
"
"Silly girl," Mo Bai said with a bitter smile, "just because you don't hate me now, doesn't mean you won't hate my teacher in the future. As for the matter of changing your life, you can't mention it again. The difficulty of Yinglong that day was my teacher's choice. I raised him
When you grow up, I just want you to be healthy and happy, not to raise a puppet to die for."
After a pause, Mo Bai suppressed the bitter curve on his lips and pursed his lips. He let out a long sigh, which seemed to be unable to shake off the depression in his heart. He could only hear him talking in a deep voice, not sure if he was talking to Xiaozhu or to himself.
:
"Flowers may not always bloom, the moon may not always be round, rocks may collapse into dust, and the sea may turn into mulberry fields. In this world, what is unchangeable? I was wrong, I am indestructible. Don't say
It is the relationship between you and me as master and disciple. Even if we are biological father and son, how can we stay together for a long time? All banquets in the world must come to an end. The fate of life and death, who can break it...Girl, since you have done it
Once you have made your decision, I will no longer force you to do anything, just let go and do what you want."
After receiving Immortal Mobai's permission, Xiaozhu's face was filled with joy. She quickly bowed to her master and said softly: "Thank you, master!"
Unexpectedly, Mo Bai took a step back and turned sideways to avoid her salute. His usual smile was gone, but now his face was solemn, and he looked indescribably indifferent:
"As for the word 'Master', there is no need to mention it again in the future. Girl, although I respect your choice, I, Mo Bai, will never agree with my disciple to die happily. In the name of Master, I will send you on this endless journey.
I, Mo Bai, can't do it... The relationship between you and me as master and disciple ends here."
The words "This is the fate" were like a bolt from the blue, splitting Xiaozhu into pieces. She stared blankly at the master in front of her. Ever since she was a child, the master had never shown such a cold expression to her. In her memory,
Here, Master always has a smile on his face, with a leisurely and lazy look, as if he is not afraid of the sky falling. Even if she was very naughty when she was a child, Master would pretend to be angry, but his face would only smile for a moment. Master
There were times when she had a cold face, but that would only be in the face of uninvited guests like the four major sects who broke into Qingchuan Mountain. Master's indifference would never be directed at her...
Facing that indifferent face, Xiaozhu suddenly realized: this time, Master really doesn't want her anymore.
"Teacher, Master..." Xiaozhu's voice trembled. It was obviously a very familiar call, but it seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds and was stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to speak. But it made her even more confused.
What was uncomfortable was that Immortal Lord Mo Bai didn't want to hear her story at all, so he actually made a magic trick and used the "Sky Frost Snow Dance" to stir up snowy feathers all over the sky in the ice cave.
"This puppet is given to you as a keepsake."
"Girl, we will never see you again."
The cold wind howled and the snow danced in disorder. In the wildly dancing snow flakes, Xiaozhu could not see the figure of the master, and could only hear the cold voice. When the frost and snow dispersed, everything returned to silence, but there was no trace of the Mobai Immortal.
Shadow? In this small world, only snow feathers were left, falling silently. And in front of her, floating in the void was a panda stuffed doll that was larger than a palm. She subconsciously reached out to take it, and pulled the cloth
I held him tightly in my arms.
"Master?" Xiaozhu called in a trembling voice. She looked around in panic, but could no longer find the familiar figure. In this cold and silent ice-covered snow, only her figure was reflected in the mirror-like ice pool.
Above, the two trees stand alone, with their shadows hanging from each other.
Her eyes were blurry, the cold was biting, and silence was the only answer to her. Her eyelashes, like butterfly wings, were trembling gently. The crystal tears condensed on her eyelashes, but she couldn't restrain them, and fell down her cheeks.
, dripping into the stuffed doll in her arms. Xiaozhu's fingers trembled slightly, and she could only hold the black and white stuffed doll tighter and tighter.
After a long time, the girl bent her knees, knelt on the ice, and then kowtowed three times to the front seriously and reverently:
——Boom!
"Master, thank you for your kindness in raising me. Once I am a teacher, I will always be a father. Even if the master disowns me, Xiaozhu will still miss the master all his life."
——Boom!
"Master, I'm sorry. Xiaozhu knows that I was too selfish. I thought I made the right choice, but I let Master, the family member who cares most about me in the world, feel sad for me. But there are some things in this world, even if I know that I will
It makes Master sad, and Xiaozhu is determined to do it. Master, Xiaozhu is sorry for you, and thank you for your consideration and respect."
——Boom!
"Master, Xiaozhu bids you farewell. If we say goodbye today, we may never see each other again. The kindness Xiaozhu owes you can only be repaid in the next life."
The girl's forehead hit the hard and cold ice. When she straightened up, she saw that her forehead was already red, and her eyes were filled with water. She held back her tears and raised her sleeves to wipe them away.
With tears on his face, he took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, hugged the panda puppet tightly in his arms, then strode forward, decisively walking out of the cold snow cave.
When they walked outside the cave, Gui Haiming, Bi Fei, Lu Ling and the others had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the red look in the corners of Xiaozhu's eyes, Gui Haiming looked suffocated, took a step forward, held her arm, and said nervously: "What's the matter?
Already?"
"No, brother Xiao She, don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Zhu shook his head and forced a smile, "I just told Master that I was a little sad when I talked about the battle in the East China Sea that day."
This explanation is quite reasonable. That scene on the bank of the East China Sea, when Mo Bai was burned by Yinglong and his body was destroyed. Even if I think about it today, it is still moving. Gui Haiming had no doubt that he was there. He felt relieved and he
A big palm let go of Xiaozhu, and then gently pressed her thin shoulders. This was the greatest comfort that this taciturn and introverted man could show.
Lu Ling was thinking about the destruction of the "Soul-fixing Pearl" and asked eagerly: "What about Mo Bai Immortal? The Soul-fixing Pearl is the most precious treasure of our sect in the Sin Valley. Now it was completely destroyed in order to save him, and I couldn't even put it together."
Come on. He must tell me the whereabouts of Yun Shengjing so that I can make up for my mistakes. At least I can have an explanation when I return to the valley."
"Sister Lu, don't worry. Master has handed over Yun Shengjing to me. We finally have some clues about how to deal with Yinglong." Xiaozhu smiled slightly, pretending to be relaxed, but said, "Xiaozhu is Yun Shengjing."
, was born with the magical power of an immortal weapon, and if he loses the mirror, he will die." He hid the matter and never mentioned it.
"Then what are we waiting for? Without further ado, let's get going!" Lu Ling was impatient. He immediately raised the Half-Moon Halberd and said, "We're ready to hit the road right now."
"Junior sister Lu, please be patient." Bi Fei said slowly. He looked at Xiao Zhu's face, then looked at the empty ice pool, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. Bi Fei frowned slightly, thinking.
After a moment, he softly said again: "Miss Yue, may I ask where Immortal Mo Bai is? If there is anything wrong, please let me know. We have gone through many difficulties and faced many dangers along the way. We are all friends of life and death.
.If there are any considerations that make it inconvenient, just say it’s okay.”
Xiaozhu smiled and said: "Brother Bi, you are overthinking. Master has just transformed his soul and needs a good rest, so it is inconvenient to meet you. However, although it is not convenient for Master to take action, he gave me the magic weapon. Then
It's the same thing. I think the top priority is that we must first return the three magical artifacts, the Zixiao Sword, the Peeping Heaven Banner, and the Qiankun Ding, to their original owners, and then drag up Tianyin, the very forthright, easy-to-talk and sensible person from the Tianxuan Sect.
Let him be the guarantee to help Sister Lu explain the soul-fixing pearl to Dusin Valley. Since the four sects have gone to Qingchuan Mountain to ask Master for the Yunsheng Mirror, they must know how to seal Yinglong with the mirror."
After brushing aside Mo Bai's entanglement with Yun Shengjing in an understatement, Xiaozhu mentioned the matter of the four magical artifacts, which indeed attracted Bi Fei's attention. He nodded slightly and said, "That's what Miss Yue said. Just now when I was waiting,
, I also asked the Lord General for advice on how to eliminate the evil spirit. We might as well go to Tianxuan Sect first to relieve Brother Mu and the others of their urgent need."
The four of them acted according to the plan. Gui Haiming had silver scales on his face, and stretched out his wings behind his back. In an instant, he transformed into the original body of the snoring snake, flapped its wings, and suddenly jumped into the air. The long silver snake leaned down slightly and gave way first.
Xiaozhu sat on his back, then swept Bifei and Lu Ling with his long tail, and flew into the eternal sky.
On the other side of the ice pool, the cold wind was biting, blowing the snow-covered dead branches and causing snow foam to fly. In the fine white snow, a thin figure suddenly appeared. The man was dressed in white, and his black hair was like ink.
Who is it? His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he raised his eyes to look at the clear blue sky. There was unconcealable worry between his eyebrows.
"If you can't rest assured, why do you need to be so decisive?"
Accompanied by a deep voice, another figure appeared next to Mo Bai. This person was carrying a black iron heavy sword and wearing an armored battle robe. He was none other than Cangming, the god of heaven.
"..." Mo Bai lowered his eyes and said helplessly, "As a master, how can I watch my disciples die? If I don't cut off my kindness, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything to stop her, which will cause the lives of people to suffer forever, and also make her hate me.
lifetime."
"Hmph, that sounds pretty decent," Cangming glanced at his friend coldly and sarcastically said, "Actually, one's nature is easy to change but hard to change. Little Black and White, I think you should change your name to 'Hu'."
Okay, it's called 'Short'. Since you have decided to stand by and watch, why did you separate a ray of soul and turn into that puppet to accompany her?"
"..." This time, Mo Bai was speechless.
The snow danced wildly, and the cold wind raged. Mo Bai's helplessness finally turned into a sigh. As soon as he said it, he was swept up by the north wind and scattered between the sky and the earth.
