Bamboo horse has several faces

Chapter 36 Duan Qingyuan

After Situ Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Duan Songyang, and Duan Songyang's eyes fell on Ye Huai, tender and tender.

"This..." Ye Huai also turned his head to look at Duan Songyang, and met Duan Songyang's gaze.

Look what he is doing!Ye Huai spurned himself in his heart, you are the master!

Besides, he was hiding so many things from himself, so he just took this opportunity to chat with Master Situfang to see if he could get something out of him.

"Of course." Ye Huai said.

"Wait," Gu Heng said, "You haven't explained yet..."

"All right, all right," Fang Yi drove him out, "This is none of your young master's business."

"Then Ah Huai," Duan Songyang said softly, "Let's go out first."

"Hmm." Ye Huai nodded with his head held high.

Luo Zhi had a sad look on his brows, he sighed softly, followed the others and walked out without saying anything.

Ye Huai sat on the chair next to Situ Yi, and Situ Yi looked at him with affectionate eyes, as if looking at another person through him.

Ye Huai was a little embarrassed.

Situ Yi also noticed it, and she said slowly: "Master Ye seems to be very afraid of Juggernaut Duan."

Afraid of Duan Songyang?

"Who said that?" Ye Huai retorted subconsciously, "Who said I'm afraid of him? I've never been afraid of him since I was a child!"

Situ Yi suddenly laughed, and Ye Huai realized that he had overreacted, and his face turned red instantly.

"It's okay." With a wave of Situ Yi's hand, a teapot floated over and poured spiritual tea for Ye Huai.

Ye Huai thanked him, and took a cup of tea to cover up his embarrassment.

"Sorrow arises from love, fear arises from love, and it's normal to take into account the thoughts of the person you like in every word and deed."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Ye Huai heard this sentence, he choked on the tea that he hadn't swallowed yet.

"No, no, no," he put down the teacup, hurriedly waved his hands, his face was even redder than before, "it's not like this, he and I...and him..."

A sadness rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Master Ye and Sword Saint Duan, aren't they Taoist companions?"

Ye Huai lowered his eyes. He calmed down his emotions and the choked throat just now, picked up the tea cup and took another sip, looked at the jade cup with the pattern of the magic weapon in his hand, and said: "We are Taoist couples. But... probably not soon. And..."

Duan Songyang once promised him that when the senior brother and master came back, he would agree to divide the membership and terminate the contract.

Big Brother has returned.

Thinking about it now, when Duan Songyang made this request, he probably thought that when the senior brother and the master came back, they would bring a solution to solve the fragments of the alms bowl on his spiritual root. Moreover, now that Situ Sheng has been executed, even if the senior brother has no solution , then it should be very easy to borrow fragments from Situ Yi, and it might be possible to use Guzhu Fang's method.

Once the fragments are taken out, Duan Songyang no longer needs to use a marriage contract to protect his spiritual roots, and he no longer has to bear the responsibility called "Ye Huai". Ye Huai can also start normal cultivation. That's it.

Cultivators have a long lifespan, and a great power like Duan Songyang in the Mahayana period is even more likely to have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.Looking back at Duan Songyang in the future, these decades may be nothing more than insignificant after-dinner jokes in his long life.

"It's a Taoist couple," Ye Huai forced a smile, "but not all Taoist couples in the world like each other."

Situ Yi looked at this young man, the sadness in his eyes was too obvious, she seemed to understand something, and said softly: "Master Ye, in fact, the first time I knew you was the succession ceremony of the head of the Guiyuan Sword Sect. At that time, I thought, who is this young man who actually asked Duan Sect Leader to change the surname of the Duan Sect Leader who has been passed down in the Duan family for thousands of years, and then I saw you and Duan Jiansheng. Or rather, with a forced smile."

Which aristocratic family has no secrets, such a big change in the Duan family must have happened to outsiders, so Situ Yi just got curious, and left without asking too much.

Until later, Situ Sheng visited the mortal world in the name of drawing a picture of twelve beauties. He came back and told Situ Yi that Ye Huai was the orphan of the Ye Dynasty.

"Of course, he told me this to make me less vigilant about the picture of twelve beauties who will seal me in the future, because he knows that I care about this matter very much," Situ Yi smiled, "After knowing this On the day of the incident, I wanted to send a spiritual letter to Guiyuan Sword Sect. I wanted to send it directly to you, but I felt that it would be a little embarrassing if things went wrong, so I sent a spiritual letter to Sword Saint Duan. Confirm your identity."

Ye Huai was taken aback, Situ Yi, does he value his identity very much?

"Later, Jiansheng Duan came to me," Situ continued, "but he told me that he didn't want you to have anything to do with Fan Yuan. He said that if you have entered the Tao, then your status in the Mortal Realm is not so important. .”

Duan Songyang doesn't want Ye Huai to be involved with the Ye Dynasty?

"But...why?" Ye Huai was a little confused, "You and Mrs. Ye, and Mortal Realm..."

"I have nothing to do with Mortal Realm," Situ Yi shook his head, "It's just the person I care about. She got involved with Mortal Realm, and then dug up the roots of Dao, cut off her own immortality, for the sake of blessing All worlds."

Ye Huai immediately realized: "The person you mentioned..."

"Duan Qingyuan," Situ Yi said the name with some nostalgia, "It's your ancestor, and the person who prevented my parents from letting me continue to use self-inflicted injuries to help Situ Sheng improve his cultivation. Aunt Qingyuan is mine. My benefactor, when everyone asked me to contribute to Situ's family, she told me that if I didn't want to, then there was no need to continue sacrificing myself." Situ Sheng smiled sadly, "But she herself volunteered for those mortals. , at the expense of herself."

Ye Huai knew Duan Qingyuan's story.

Back then, a rare and extremely talented female swordsman who used wood spirit roots to kill swordsmanship, saw mortals captured by evil cultivators to refine the elixir of immortality when she was traveling in the mortal world, and determined to protect mortals. The Qianyuan League even used its own spiritual roots as a guide to weave a protective net all over the mortal world. As long as there are evil cultivators harming mortals, she will know immediately, and the people of the Qianyuan League will rush to the place in time to rescue them. Those mortals, the existence of Duan Qingyuan reversed the fear and hatred of mortals at that time towards cultivators. Later, she married Ye Fanchen, and Ye Fanchen did not call her Queen, but called him "Emperor" together, giving her She has equal status and power with him, and even built a statue for her, and mortals offer her as the "Sword God Bodhisattva".

Ye Huai is the descendant of Duan Qingyuan, this matter was not publicized by the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and the Duan family even concealed it, in order to prevent those who are interested in plotting against Ye Huai who is not yet high.

Because Duan Qingyuan is married to Ye Fanchen who has the great luck of Ziwei.

Now the world is divided into several parts, and the next emperor who will rule the world has not yet appeared, and the Ziwei luck that has become thinner but still exists is still on Ye Huai.

"So," Ye Huai clenched his hands tightly, "Duan Songyang...he is afraid of me..."

"He was afraid that you would be like Aunt Qingyuan, sacrificing yourself because of mortal fate." Situ Yi said helplessly, "After all, you have her blood on your body. So I gave him the token of Linglong Workshop, Tell him that if he thinks it’s okay, I will transfer it to you, because sometimes I will retreat, and I am afraid that I will miss your arrival when I retreat, so that if you come here, I will not be unaware.”

And because the authority of Linglong Workshop and Fangyuan Gate are interoperable, Duan Songyang can use this method to enter the main hall of Fangyuan Gate, get the painting of beauties, and rescue Situ Yi.

Ye Huai stroked his forehead with his hands, and sighed: "What kind of image do I have in Duan Songyang's heart? How could I..."

"Actually, it's not just out of righteousness," Situ Yi said. "I asked Aunt Qingyuan back then, and I said, is it worth doing this for ordinary people? She told me that she is actually not a saint, so she made up her mind to do this." There is another person involved in this matter, and that person is Ye Fanchen who has been with her to help mortals along the way."

Situ Yi still remembered that when she learned of Duan Qingyuan's plan, she anxiously held Duan Qingyuan's hand and asked her if it was worth sacrificing her swordsmanship for a man?

Duan Qingyuan patted Situ Yi's head and said happily, it was worth it.

In fact, it was not she who rescued ordinary people at first, but Ye Fanchen.

As a human emperor, he couldn't practice cultivation, but he was born to take on the important task of protecting the world. Ye Fanchen used the ability and wisdom of ordinary people to fight against those evil cultivators who went against the way of heaven, and insisted on saving people from evil cultivators. When Duan Qingyuan, who was fighting alone, met him, she saw her future.

Holding a sword is one's own way of swordsmanship, but what is the way of swordsmanship for?

For protection.

Protect your own morality and protect the people you want to protect.

"He is also one of the mortals in the world," Duan Qingyuan said with a smile, "I protect the mortals in the world, and I protect him too. Besides, it's okay to lose your spiritual roots. It's good to be a mortal and live and die with him. "

"From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear."

Situ Yi repeated this sentence again, this time Ye Huai understood.

Because I am afraid, I want to protect.

Duan Qingyuan was afraid of very few things, but she fell in love with Ye Fanchen, and the things she was afraid of became more and more. She was afraid that Ye Fanchen would not be able to support the raging evil cultivators with a mortal body, and that Ye Fanchen would die. There is still a long future to face alone.

So she chose to become a mortal.

And Ye Fanchen did not disappoint her friendship. He was the one who first helped ordinary people, and he gave Duan Qingyuan all his fame. Give her everything you have.

But Ye Huai still shook his head, he didn't understand: "Then it's impossible for me to dig my own spiritual roots like my ancestors did."

"Then what if one day you know that there is something indestructible embedded in your spiritual root that prevents you from practicing?" Situ Yi asked, she reached out and took out a white jade plate, and gently placed it on the table .

Ye Huai was stunned, he looked at the white jade plate, the jade plate was covered with lines, as if it was about to break, he knew this, it was one of the three gods and six immortals they just returned to Situ Yi, Situ Sheng used to trap Live in his "Mirror Lake Dream".

"He's afraid," Ye Huai said slowly, "he's afraid that I will feel that there is no hope of practicing anyway, so it's better to follow the example of our ancestors and dig out the spiritual roots to make the most of it..."

It's better than relying on the marriage contract to involve Duan Songyang now.

"Aunt Qingyuan didn't simply dig out the spiritual roots," Situ Yi said, "The Guiyuan Sword Sect has half a book of cheats from ancient times, which is specially used to dig out the spiritual roots of sword cultivators. The dug out spiritual roots are The "living" spiritual root, the dug out spiritual root can mobilize the sword intent of the sword cultivator when the spiritual root was dug out. After the death of Aunt Qingyuan, the evil cultivators who murdered mortals almost disappeared in the world, and using her spiritual root The net woven by Gen turned into Linggen again, and was taken back to the Guiyuan Sword Sect along with her sword intent. "

You really... don't know anything about the ancient secret realm.

It started more than 30 years ago, and some sects of aristocratic families began to obtain some fragments of exercises that their sects were sealed into the Asura realm from the ancient secret realm one after another.

It doesn't look like you Guiyuan Sword Sect, who only threw in half a cheat book that I don't know what to make up!

Ye Huai's mind was buzzing.

That half of the cheat book is the method of digging the sword to cultivate the spiritual root and sword intent?

Duan Songyang kept hiding it from himself, because he was afraid that when he saw the exercise, he would follow Duan Qingyuan's example and use his "last value" to repay the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and then return to the mortal world to be a mortal.

Because on the night of his alchemy, he knew that he saw something on the spiritual root.

So he has to guard against himself.

Because Duan Songyang is afraid.

Duan Songyang... is actually afraid?

From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear.

For Ye Huai, there is only responsibility.

These two sentences were constantly intertwined in Ye Huai's mind, he rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly.

Duan Songyang, what are you thinking.

"Actually, Juggernaut Duan is really concerned about it." Situ Yi reached out to pick up the white jade plate, "I didn't expect that the fragments landed on your spiritual root. This matter is actually not as bad as he thought. I have studied the fragment, it is divided into four pieces, and there is gravity between each piece. Situ Sheng just put the pieces into Jinghu Yimeng, and then he wants to strengthen this gravity through formations, so that the thing can be pulled away from you. Attracted out of the body. This is theoretically feasible."

Situ Yi pressed his hand on the white jade plate, the white jade plate vibrated slightly, and the white jade plate that was attacked by Duan Songyang's sword intent began to shatter slowly.

"Master Situ..."

"It's okay," Situ Yi smiled nonchalantly, "Anyway, this should be useless."

After the white jade plate was completely broken, a small box with a low base was exposed.

"I have to say that Juggernaut Duan is worthy of being Juggernaut Duan," Situ Yi said while opening the box, "Even the divine weapon..."

Her words suddenly stopped, and then her face turned pale in an instant: "How...how is it possible?"

The box was empty, with nothing in it.
