The twentieth episode of the second chapter decision
.
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.
In front of the vast black forest that Gui Li and Jin Ping'er had passed through, there were more than a dozen people standing in front of them. Most of them were elite disciples headed by Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley in southern Xinjiang. There were only two outsiders among them.
Those were Lu Xueqi and Zeng from Qingyun Sect. As for Wen Min, who had been with Lu Xueqi earlier, unexpectedly disappeared.
Many of the people in this group had a slightly tired look on their faces. It was obvious that although they were cultivators, it was still not an easy task for them to go deep into the dangerous and strange place of Shiwanda Mountain. Only the leader
Li Xun, Lu Xueqi, Zeng and others have profound moral conduct and look as usual.
But at this moment, looking at the dark and strange forest ahead, no one could feel happy.
In the sky above this black forest, the poisonous miasma is obviously rising, and it is obviously impossible to escape from the sky. The black forest is vast and cannot be easily bypassed. In addition, Li Xun, who served as the guide along the way, has made it clear that according to
According to the legend of the people of southern Xinjiang, the lair of the beast monster is in the ancient cave of suppressing demons behind the black forest.
This forest seems to be indispensable!
The Tianya Divine Sword exudes a light blue light, shining softly in Lu Xueqi's hand, reflecting her snow-white and slightly lonely figure. In Wenmin's absence, not only did she rarely talk to Li Xun and other Fenxiang Valley disciples, but she also
She paid little attention to Zeng, who was a disciple of Qingyun.
Along the way, she encountered harsh mountains, dangerous waters, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. To her, these frightening things were often just turned a blind eye or were souls killed by the sword. No one knew what she was thinking deep down in her heart.
.
Li Xun didn't know, and Zeng didn't know either. But at this moment, Li Xun coughed at Zeng and asked in a low voice: "Um... Senior Brother Zeng, may I ask that Junior Sister Lu who has been silent all day, what is she thinking about?"
ah?'
Zeng was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: 'Senior Brother Li, I think you asked the wrong person too!'
Li Xun glanced at him, shook his head after a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, everyone was resting before entering the black forest after a tiring day. Lu Xueqi was alone, standing by a rock in the distance, looking at the distant mountains. Behind her, there were many eyes from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally in that beautiful place.
Lingering between the backs.
Li Xun and Zeng stood aside. The former pondered for a moment and said seriously: 'Senior Brother Zeng, we should invite Junior Sister Lu to come over and discuss how to proceed next, okay?'
Zeng nodded and said, "That's right." She turned around, walked to Lu Xueqi and whispered a few words to her. Lu Xueqi's face was expressionless. After hearing what Zeng said, she glanced at Li Xun, and Li Xun felt slightly
Embarrassed, I laughed a little.
Not long after, Lu Xueqi finally walked back with Zeng. Li Xun coughed and said: 'That's it, you two, after passing through this black forest, you will not be far from the beast monster's lair. We...'
‘Senior Brother Li!’ Suddenly, Lu Xueqi called Li Xun and interrupted him.
Li Xun was startled. Since entering Shiwanda Mountain, it could be said that this was the first time Lu Xueqi took the initiative to talk to him, and asked in surprise: 'What?'
Lu Xueqi looked at him, with a faint twinkle in her eyes, and said: 'In the past few days, I have been puzzled by something, and I would like to ask Senior Brother Li for help.'
Li Xun nodded and said: 'Junior Sister Lu, please speak.'
Lu Xueqi didn't seem to soften her expression because of Li Xun's politeness. She usually said coldly and calmly: "In the past, the news we heard from Fenxiang Valley was that the Hundred Thousand Mountains were dangerous places.
It's rare for you to enter. But for some reason, when you come here this time, it seems that you, Senior Brother Li, are very familiar with this place. Have you been here before? Also, the traces of the Beast God are very mysterious, and the secret of the lair is even more mysterious.
By the way, how come Fenxiang Valley is so well-informed and able to know this?'
Li Xun's expression did not change. Faced with Lu Xueqi's question, he seemed to have already made up his mind. He smiled and said, "Junior sister Lu, I have told you before. In the past, we in Fenxiang Valley did not care about Shiwanda Mountain, but the beast monster
As soon as the catastrophe breaks out, we will of course pay attention to this place. As for the lair of the beast demon, it was discovered by our disciples who tracked the remnants of the beast demon, and a lot of our elites were sacrificed for this!'
Zeng and Lu Xueqi both frowned at the same time. Apparently they didn't quite believe Li Xun's empty and perfunctory words. However, seeing that he was speaking righteously and confidently, they seemed unable to refute directly, so they had no choice but to remain silent.
Li Xun smiled, glanced at the two of them, and said: "Having said this, I thought about it again, why did Senior Sister Wen Minwen of your sect suddenly rush back when we were about to enter Shiwan Mountain?"
Where is Qingyun Mountain?'
Zeng was startled and couldn't help but glance at Lu Xueqi next to him, then smiled and said: 'Didn't we tell Senior Brother Li about this already? Senior Sister Wenmin had to rush back because something happened at the last moment.'
Lu Xueqi next to her lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing. The reason why Wen Min rushed back to Qingyun Mountain temporarily was not clear even to Zeng. In fact, in the final analysis, it was naturally because of Yun Yilan's sudden appearance at the Shanhe Palace in Fenxiang Valley.
The question about the destruction of the Zhuxian Sword.
Zeng didn't know the truth, so he forgot about it as a joke. However, after Lu Xueqi and Wenmin discussed it, they both felt that the matter was really serious. After much consideration, Wenmin finally decided to rush back to Qingyun Mountain to tell the elders.
Master has informed this matter, so he can adapt to it. After all, the Ancient Sword of Zhuxian is of great significance to Qingyun Sect and the righteous way of the world. And the Fenxiang Valley, which has always been on good terms with Qingyun Sect, and the owner of the valley, Yun Yi
Lan, this unexpected performance has some unspeakable meaning in it, which is disturbing.
However, the matter here with the Beast God was also very important and could not be given up. So after discussing it, Wen Min rushed back to Qingyun Mountain, while Lu Xueqi stayed with Zeng. However, in the minds of Lu Xueqi and others, the family of Fenxiang Valley seemed to be already
There's something weird everywhere.
At this moment, Li Xun had discussed with Zeng for a long time and explained many things that needed to be paid attention to when entering the black forest. Zeng learned many things that he had never heard of before. He couldn't help but open his eyes and nodded. He had a great time talking with Li Xun.
Lu Xueqi listened to those words, and felt slightly bored for some reason, so she stood up and walked aside again, looking into the distance. The vague mountains in the distance were endless, the highlands were undulating, and under the huge sky, the cold wind was blowing.
Whistling by.
Who knows what is waiting for them ahead?
Qingyun Mountain, Dazhu Peak.
In the early morning of this day, it was still early and the genius was bright. All the disciples on Dazhu Peak had not yet gotten up. There was a sound of slight footsteps from the Shoujing Hall. A moment later, Tian Buyi was uncharacteristically dressed and left in the early morning.
come out.
In the morning light, Tian Buyi's round face had a solemn expression, his brows were furrowed, and he looked worried. Suru followed him and walked out. Looking at the appearance of the couple, he didn't know whether
Either getting up early or staying up all night.
Suru had a worried look on her face at this moment. After walking out of the Shou Jing Hall, she first took a look at the disciples' house. After seeing the expected silence and no one, she whispered: "It's not easy, I still think you are so
There's something wrong with what we're doing, so why don't we discuss it again!'
Tian Buyi's face was as dark as water, his brows did not relax at all, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter can no longer be postponed. Since we came back from the ancestor's ancestral hall, in the past few days, Senior Brother Daoxuan's condition has been getting worse and worse.
The news that came down from Tongtian Peak yesterday was that he actually took action against Elder Fan and Xiao Yicai who came to persuade him.'
Suru was startled and said: 'What, why did the head senior brother do it? What happened to the two of them? How did they offend the head senior brother? Are you injured?'
Tian Buyi snorted and said: "What else could they do for? Naturally, they saw Senior Brother Daoxuan behaving strangely and went to advise them. I heard that Senior Brother Daoxuan was talking to them in a good manner, but for some reason he suddenly became angry and slapped him
The strike struck down and severely injured Senior Brother Fan immediately. However, Xiao Yicai was very alert and escaped from him, but he was fine.'
Suru was startled for a moment, frowned and said, 'Is Xiao Yicai okay?'
Tian Buyi put his hands behind his hands and pondered for a moment, and said: "He has always been smart, and he has followed Brother Daoxuan for many years, so he knows more than others. He probably realized that the situation was wrong in advance, so he took the opportunity to escape."
It was opened. But fortunately he was alert and had time to rescue Senior Brother Fan and heal him. Otherwise, no one can say what would have happened!'
Suru was silent for a long time, with an uncertain expression on his face, and then said for a long time: 'He, he has become like this, why do you still want to see him?'
Tian Buyi took a deep breath and said: 'It's okay if others don't know. Don't you understand why I want to see him?'
Suru said in a low voice: 'But, he...Senior Brother, he has inner demons in his body at the moment. No one knows what he is thinking, and his moral conduct is so high that he is far better than you and me. You take the risk to go there this time.
,I'm just afraid, I'm just afraid...'
As she spoke, Suru's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was hard to hear. Apparently she didn't want to say it herself.
Tian Buyi sighed, turned around and stared at Suru, stretched out his hand and gently held Suru's slender hand, and said softly: "You and I have been husband and wife for the rest of our lives. Of course I know what you are worried about. With your heart, I can help you."
I don't care what happened...'
Suru frowned, interrupted him, and said angrily: 'What nonsense are you talking about!'
Tian Buyi nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said: "You know, the secret of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword is the top secret of the Qingyun Sect, and only the headmaster knows it. It was just that during the battle in the wilderness, I, Uncle Zeng and several others followed
Senior Brother Wan fought against Wanli Huangsha and learned this secret by chance. Later, several of us made a vow in the ancestral hall of the Qingyun Sect in front of the ancestors of the Qingyun Sect to never reveal any of this secret for the rest of our lives.
.'
Suru sighed and said: 'Why are you mentioning this again? I was also present at the time and swore the same oath as you. How could I not remember it?'
Tian Buyi said solemnly: "Ever since Patriarch Qingye left his handwritten warning tablet, all the ancestors have repeatedly warned that Zhuxian's ancient sword should not be used lightly. In Qingye's commandment stele, it is clearly stated that the Zhuxian sword spirit is the supreme evil spirit, and the sword wielder
If a person's will is not strong and his foundation is not stable, he will fall into the devil's path. Now, Brother Daoxuan's visions are fulfilling what the founder said!'
Suru lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Tian Buyi raised his head and looked at the dim sky. In the distance, at the end of the early morning mountain fog, where the clouds were shrouded, the towering Tongtian Peak was looming.
"Over the years, Senior Brother Daoxuan has worked hard to reorganize and prosper our Qingyun family. Now we are proud of the world and lead the world in the right way." Tian Buyi's voice suddenly sounded a little more vicissitudes of life, "I have also been
I thought about it, even if Senior Brother Wan really took the position of Headmaster back then, I'm afraid he might not be able to do better than Senior Brother Daoxuan.'
Suru's body trembled slightly, and she whispered: "It's not easy..." But she seemed to be hesitant to say the next words.
Tian Buyi clasped his hands, with a somewhat confused expression on his face, and said: "Although I have secretly enshrined Senior Brother Wan's spiritual throne for many years, to be honest with Senior Brother Daoxuan, I really admire him more and more, even though I usually have many
Quarrel, but I have nothing to say about his behavior, even ten years ago, when he used the Zhuxian Sword to kill Lao Qi...'
‘Buyi, stop talking!’ Suru suddenly shouted. For some reason, her eyes turned red when she looked at Tian Buyi.
Tian Buyi moved the muscles on his face and managed to squeeze out a smile, but there was no smile at all, only sadness: "The person who understands my thoughts best in the world is you. That battle ten years ago,
I, I...' He let out a long sigh and said, 'I really can't let go of Lao Qi! Among this group of disciples, although that kid looks the least pleasing to the eye, I still... Alas!'
After he let out a long sigh, the two of them stopped talking. After a while, Tian Buyi smiled bitterly as if he was mocking himself and said: "After that day, I was also deeply dissatisfied with Senior Brother Daoxuan. The seventh child was raised by me."
Damn, after more than ten years, don’t I still know who he is? If there is anything, I will teach him, maybe there is still room for change. But after that sword blow, hehe, Lao Qi is still fine
, first killed Baguio, this time it was better, Lao Qi would have to rebel if he didn't. With his stubborn character, I'm afraid he will be ruined by that sword for the rest of his life.'
'However, in the past few years, I have occasionally reflected on myself. When I recalled this matter, I also thought, if I were in Senior Brother Daoxuan's position, would I kill with this sword, or not?'
Suru stared at her husband without saying a word, but silently gently held his hand and patted the back of his palm with a hint of comfort.
Tian Buyi smiled faintly, with a bit of helplessness, and smiled at Suru and said: 'If it were me, I'm afraid I would still have to use that sword.'
As if she already knew the answer, Suru lowered her head silently and said nothing.
Tian Buyi also fell silent, staring in the distance in the direction of Tongtian Peak.
After a while, Suru suddenly said: 'Since you have made up your mind, why don't I accompany you to see Senior Brother Daoxuan!'
Tian Buyi shook his head and said: "You'd better not go. There are too many people, so it's hard to talk. Senior Brother Daoxuan became like this because of the common people in the world and Qingyun Sect. I don't know, so I'll just pay it off, but I
Now that we know the secret, we can never sit idly by and see if there is any room for salvation. I just hope that Senior Brother Daoxuan can wake up from that violent atmosphere because of his profound moral character. Otherwise...'
When he said this, his voice suddenly stopped.
Suru looked at him and suddenly smiled slightly. The sad look on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of distress and love, and she said softly: 'Okay, stop talking.'
Tian Buyi had been getting along with her for a long time, and the two of them had already connected with each other. At this moment, he stared at Suru for a long time, and finally said nothing, just nodded. After a while, he turned around, and the bottom of his wide sleeves began to flash.
Red light.
Seeing that his red flame fairy sword was about to be used for a long journey, suddenly Suru called out from behind him: "Buyi..." Although the tone of the voice was not very high, it was full of emotion and tenderness.
In just two words.
Tian Buyi looked back at his wife, and saw Suru's face full of reluctance, with tears flashing faintly in her eyes. After a while, Tian Buyi suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and moved his lips, but still nothing
Saying something, he turned around and took out the Red Flame Fairy Sword, and with a roar, it flew into the air.
The crimson light swept across the sky and penetrated into the clouds and mist. At first, the clouds and mist surged and gave way, and then surrounded him from all directions, gradually submerging his figure and disappearing.
Suru was left alone, staring blankly at the sky. I don't know how long she stood there. I don't know when a few morning dewdrops appeared on the clouds on the temples. They were crystal clear, like pearls, and fell quietly.
