Chapter 12 [Eight Diagrams]
"Ten thousand times?!"
Ling Yan jumped up in an instant: "Do you want me to die, Master?"
Ren Xuechuan was expressionless: "I don't want to."
Ling Yan closed his eyes, fell back on the bed, quickly wrapped himself up, and turned his back to him: "I fell asleep, I didn't hear anything!"
Ren Xuechuan said: "Beads."
Ling Yan hurriedly took it out from under the pillow and gave it to him.The condensed sea bead gifted by Taishizu was extremely hard, and he couldn't drill the hole after trying it himself.
Ren Xuechuan took a closer look after getting it, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he found a needle, drilled a hole easily, took a red string to string it up, and then helped his apprentice put it on his hand.
Ling Yan raised his hand and looked, the inside of the bead was not damaged, and there were still colorful streamers flowing.
"Wait," he yelled when he saw that the other party was about to leave, "Aren't you going to sleep with me, Master?"
Ren Xuechuan looked back at him: "Is there something wrong?"
"It doesn't mean I won't get sick later," Ling Yan grabbed the quilt, covered half of his face, and said in a low voice, "What if I get sick in the middle of the night? I don't have the energy to call you... maybe By the time you find out, I've...already..."
Ren Xuechuan: "I'm not dead."
Ling Yan: "..."
It's abominable!What a beautiful person, but it's a pity that he has a long mouth!
But after thinking about it, I know that despite Xue Chuan's cultivation, any changes in the entire Qingyang Peak cannot be hidden from him.If he fell ill, he would definitely notice it immediately.So Ling Yan could only spend this bleak night alone.
The next day when he got up early, he ran up to Ren Xuechuan and asked whether he should sweep the floor or swing the sword first.He is alone, with one pair of hands, unable to separate himself.
Bai Shu said to him: "Today, the sect must stop all activities and participate in the sacrificial meeting."
Ling Yan was taken aback: "Sacrifice meeting?"
"Don't you know the Four Elephant Festival of the Konghua Sect?" Shang Lu said, "200 years ago, the Qinglong brought disaster to the world and slaughtered several cities. The Xianyu ancestor of the Hua School beheaded him. At that time, our sect sacrificed the most, and since then, we will hold a sacrificial meeting every year today, one is to commemorate the predecessors who died in that battle, and the other is to strengthen our heart to eliminate evil and defend the Tao."
This matter was mentioned briefly in the original book, and the original owner did not participate in the Konghua faction, so Ling Yan really didn't know about it.
He was a little scared in his heart, so he glanced at Ren Xuechuan and asked nervously, "I...can I not go?"
This question was very embarrassing, Bai Shu and Shang Lu's expressions changed.
Ren Xuechuan said: "Yes."
Ling Yan was overjoyed, and was about to say thank you, Master.Ren Xuechuan said coldly again: "You can go home now."
Ling Yan: "..."
He whispered: "I have no home."
Such conferences cannot be absent.He didn't dare to make trouble anymore.After that, the four of them changed into plain white clothes and went up the mountain together to the square of Jade Dragon Hall.
This day the whole sect is banned from flying, and everyone has to go up step by step.
After arriving at the square, Ling Yan found that many people from other sects also came.Presumably this is a major event in the entire cultivation world, so each family also sent representatives to participate.Ling Yan saw a few people who were vying to be his master in the canyon before, and some of them were trying to poach the wall, and told him that if he was not used to living here, he could go to their place.He quickly declined, and then shrank behind his master.
The sacrificial ceremony was presided over by the leader Bai Xiaohe. Gong Yuexi did not come in person, but his Raging Sword was there.
Seeing the sword is like seeing a person, everyone bowed to the sword and saluted to express their respect for him.
Afterwards, the master recited the sacrificial oration, and everyone mourned in silence, and later they swore together.The scene was solemn and solemn, and the momentum was overwhelming. Ling Yan stood in the crowd, not daring to take a breath.Although he is very clear that the original owner in the original book is not Suzaku, he is still very worried about being killed by mistake in the future.
He felt like someone was staring at him, but he didn't dare to turn his head and look around.
But the feeling was like a glow on his back, he couldn't help but took a step behind his master, and Shitu used his tall body to block himself.Then hid behind him and shivered.
Maybe it was because he was shaking too much, Ren Xuechuan stretched out his hand backwards, and gently squeezed his hand.
Tears welled up in Ling Yan's eyes instantly.
Woohoo, Master still loves me!
After the sacrificial meeting was over, Ling Yan continued to sweep the floor.
Ren Xuechuan will supervise every day.Superficially, he was supervised, but actually he was punished along with him.
Ten days later, Ling Yan's health improved, and Ren Xuechuan taught him for two hours a day.
Ling Yan was also a blessing in disguise. He absorbed the spiritual power of the fire unicorn, and his skill was much better than before.When he had an attack for the last time, Ren Xuechuan helped guide him and help him break through the realm.At that time, the situation was a little dangerous, and he almost fell into a spell, but it took two full days to finally make a breakthrough.
During those two days, Ren Xuechuan helped him sweep the floor.
After making a small breakthrough, Ling Yan felt refreshed, and he would visit Tai Shizu every now and then, playing chess with him, stroking his cat, and drinking his wine.Occasionally, let Tai Shizu talk about the past, that is, the gossip in the sect.
Gong Yuexi was very easy-going and told him a lot of secrets.
What Ling Yan is most interested in, of course, is his master's past, which is not mentioned in the original book, but he is very curious.
After sweeping the ground for a month, and the day he regained his freedom, he couldn't help asking about it.
Under the warm winter sun, he set up a homemade barbecue grill in the yard, and used his own fire to cook barbecue for Tai Shizu.
Although Gong Yuexi no longer needs to eat and drink, he is still willing to taste the strange delicacies carefully prepared by his little disciple.
"Your master, he was rescued by your ancestor from Qinglong's mouth." Gong Yuexi held the meat skewer in one hand and the wine glass in the other, "Back then, Qinglong was making troubles everywhere. A child left. He drew his sword and fought the dragon with his disciples. At that time, Qinglong was weak, and they were all masters of the younger generation. It took a lot of money to save the child. That is your teacher Respect."
"Why did it take my master away?" Ling Yan was puzzled, "Why didn't it eat him on the spot?"
"You child is short-sighted!" Gong Yuexi laughed, "If you eat it, you won't have a master?"
Ling Yan blushed, and quickly covered her mouth: "I didn't say anything. Grand Master, please don't tell my master."
"If you come a few more times, I won't tell him." Gong Yuexi said with a smile.
Ling Yan responded repeatedly: "Definitely."
"Maybe that Qinglong was full at the time." Gong Yuexi took a sip of wine, "I was full and couldn't eat anymore, so I had to take it away."
Is it okay to pack it up and take it away without wasting it?
Ling Yan felt amused.But I'm also glad that Qinglong was merciful, otherwise he would really have no master now.
He asked again: "Then...then when did my master start to cultivate the path of ruthlessness? What is the reason?"
