Chapter 383: Scripture Elegy
Zhong Lixiao naturally had no idea about the Xiang family head's wild thoughts.

But there is one thing he is sure of - since he knows that there is such a peerless scripture that has been passed down for thousands of years in the world, he naturally wants to take a look at it.

I believe that not only Zhong Lixiao, but any practitioner in the world would be willing to give it a try.

On the contrary, Xiang Xueer was really unable to hold it back at this moment.

Because according to her original plan, Senior Brother Zhong only needed to kill her, the weakest slave, but now.
Seeing that Xiang Xue'er was about to persuade him again, Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "Xue'er, you have followed me all the way, and you must have seen me create miracles again and again. This time, why not trust me again? Maybe I can create a miracle again?"

"If it's truly a peerless scripture, then even the greatest risk would be worth it. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer couldn't help but recall the many miracles that Senior Brother Zhong had performed along the way to the Geomancer's Palace.

As she thought about it, Xiangxue'er's heart couldn't help but begin to waver.

[Yes, if it is really Senior Brother Zhong, then maybe it is possible.]
When Xiang Xueer thought of this, her mind couldn't help but be swayed.

Her gaze gradually became more determined!

Xiang Xueer said in a sonorous voice, "Of course you can, but Senior Brother Zhong has to promise me that you will accept the scripture test after Xueer has passed on the scriptures."

Zhong Lixiao frowned upon hearing this, "Then it's not really a two-pronged approach, is it?"

Xiang Xue'er said cunningly, "Brother Zhong, do you not believe in yourself?"

Zhong Lixiao was suddenly speechless.

If he didn't believe in himself, then the series of words he had just used to persuade Xiang Xueer were essentially untenable.

But considering it from another perspective, who would be willing to truly reject a girl who is willing to live and die with him?
Thinking of this, Zhong Lixiao looked at Xiang Xueer again, and his eyes became completely gentle.

Zhong Lixiao laughed and said, "Since Xue'er is willing to sacrifice her life to accompany me to create a miracle, then I might as well sacrifice my life to accompany Xue'er to create a miracle!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xue'er's eyes suddenly brightened, and her pretty face was flushed. She couldn't help but say with a sense of pride, "Well said! Being able to create a miracle together with a hero like Senior Brother Zhong, even if I fail, Xue'er will have no regrets in this life!"

Seeing that his grandson and Anlan Yuanjun had reached a consensus, the head of the Xiang family was also happy for his granddaughter.

But there was one thing that completely confused the head of the Xiang family.

Since she is "Anlan Yuanjun" and "Sister Han", why does her granddaughter call her "Senior Brother Zhong"?
"Brother Zhong, the plan has been decided. Why don't you let me entertain you properly? It would be too rude if I do that!"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Xiang family hurriedly said respectfully, "Xue'er is right. We are guests from afar. Please give our Xiang family a chance to entertain and repay us."

Zhong Lixiao couldn't refuse.

From then on, the entire Xiang family entered into the celebration phase, just like the New Year.

Zhong Lixiao naturally received the warmest reception in history!
Then, Zhong Lixiao also discovered another difference between the Xiang family and other families - all the members of the Xiang family live in the present.

Perhaps because the ethnic group is always burdened with the mission and curse, they all attach great importance to enjoying life in the moment, and even form a value system that puts life and death lightly and sound more important than sound.

At this banquet, almost all the members of the Xiang clan took turns holding up their cups to drink with him. They were very enthusiastic. Even for Zhong Lixiao, it was a very novel experience.

After drinking to their heart's content, countless men and women began to behave in a dissolute manner.

Some were dancing awkwardly, some were bragging, and even members of the Xiang clan had a martial arts competition to liven up the atmosphere, with the scene being filled with so much blood and sweat that it was dark and miserable.

Not all members of the Xiang clan gathered around Zhong Lixiao. Xiang Xueer was not left out either.

Almost everyone gave her the highest courtesy!
Even if it might be a bit dirty at ordinary times, but at this point, who doesn't know that Xiang Xueer is about to fulfill her mission like all the tribesmen who sacrificed before?

No matter how this mission is carried out, Xiang Xueer is a hero.

And heroes are worthy of respect at all times!
The entire Xiang family was extremely lively that night, and everyone gathered together and indulged themselves until very late.

The aroma of wine and the happiness of the banquet seemed to permeate the entire Xiang family's territory, blending with the lingering fragrance of incense that their family had burned for generations to pray for blessings.

The next day.

The entire atmosphere of the Xiang family changed, and it was completely different from the unrestrained singing and dancing of last night.

After they woke up, every member of the tribe, no matter how young, took a bath, changed clothes and put on the formal clothes worn for the ceremony. Everyone started to burn incense, fast, pray and offer blessings in an organized manner.

Even the youngest members of the tribe would not make any mistakes in this ritual, as if it had been engraved in their genes.

After seeing these scenes, Zhong Lixiao finally saw another side of Wuyoudong Xiang family.

If Xiang's dissolute and indulgent life yesterday was more on the secular side, then everyone's meticulous and error-free prayers today were more on the divine side.

Zhong Lixiao's heart couldn't help but feel heavy.

He suddenly began to understand why Xiang Xueer was eager to break the heavy mission that the clan had borne for generations.

Thousands of years of shared mission is truly too heavy a burden!

Zhong Lixiao was quite surprised when he saw Xiang Xueer again.

Because today, Xiangxue'er has changed into the most formal dress with the help of her clansmen.

How grand is it?
It even looks like a woman getting married!
In fact, Zhong Lixiao was not wrong.

For the chosen inheritors of the Xiang family's scriptures, their lives have been completely different since they entered the Worry-Free Cave.

For the rest of my life, all I will have to face is that one scripture, and I will never be able to take a single step out of the Worry-Free Cave.

Every day, apart from the walls of Wuyou Cave on all sides, there are only the beautiful memories of the first half of my life.

Therefore, on the day of scripture inheritance, Wuyou Dongxiang clan would dress up the selected inheritor in gorgeous clothes, just like a woman getting married.

One has to admit that Xiangxue'er, dressed in such a gorgeous outfit, looking like a girl in her wedding dress, is indeed radiant and charming.

But the more this is the case, the more it illustrates how important the scriptural mission inherited by the Xiang family is.

This also made Zhong Lixiao more determined to create a miracle and completely break the Xiang family's mission and tragic fate!

On the contrary, Xiang Xueer's pretty face turned red at this time.

Xiang Xueer felt that compared with all other members of the tribe, she was undoubtedly the luckiest!
"Open the door."

Following a loud shout from the head of the Xiang family, the entire Xiang clan trembled, as if they had come back to life.

Boom boom boom!
The women's army of the Youxiang clan struck the drumsticks and began to beat the war drums with all their might.

Then the women of the Xiang family came and played the suona and other instruments with great passion. In a short time, the entire Xiang family territory became filled with the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

Under the influence of the permeating fragrance, the door of Wuyou Cave slowly opened.

"Please respectfully invite the preacher to enter the cave."

Following the Xiang family head's respectful shout, all the Xiang clan members bowed and shouted loudly:

"Please respectfully invite the preacher to enter the cave."

"Please respectfully invite the preacher to enter the cave."

"Please respectfully invite the preacher to enter the cave."

"."

Amid the blessings from many clansmen, Xiang Xueer looked at Zhong Lixiao with a smile on her face.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "In that case, let's go into the cave and take a look."

Xiang Xueer smiled, then stretched out her little hand.

Zhong Lixiao was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then he reached out and held Xiang Xueer's hand.

Xiang Xueer couldn't help but lower her head, and her pretty face became even redder.

Afterwards, the two of them entered the Worry-Free Cave hand in hand.

Looking at Xue'er and Anlan Yuanjun walking into Wuyou Cave hand in hand, the door of Wuyou Cave closed little by little, and the figures of the two disappeared little by little, the head of the Xiang family could not help but burst into tears.

Maybe this is the last time she sees Xueer in her lifetime!
God, if you really have a spirit, please grant us a miracle for the sake of our Xiang family's inheritance of scriptures from generation to generation!

In the Worry-Free Cave, as Zhong Lixiao and Xiang Xueer entered, the sadness that seemed to be marinated in food suddenly came over them.

Even Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but feel sad and even wanted to cry.

This was not the first time that Zhong Lixiao had encountered such an incident, but the last time was inside the mountain gate of the Blood Prison Demon Sect.

At that time, in order to prove his truth, the Blood Hell Demon Lord ruthlessly sacrificed all his disciples, resulting in them being unable to even reincarnate.

then.

The entire Demon Sect's mountain gate was completely engulfed by curses and sorrow.
But the problem was that at that time, the Demon Sect's mountain gate had completely turned into an Asura Hell, and the dead disciples were not even qualified to reincarnate.

It even forced the former Left and Right Holy Envoys to say, "Death is sometimes a great virtue of heaven and earth." You can imagine how desperate they were.

The sadness in Wuyou Cave is even more exaggerated than that time!!!
How can it be?

Zhong Lixiao could already empathize with Xiang Xueer!
If he was born into such a family, he might also want to cut off the family's mission.

This isn't a mission, it's more like a complete curse!
In Zhong Lixiao's view, people must live in the present after all.

No matter what great plans the Xiang ancestors had, if they want the Xiang descendants to bear the burden and curse for generations, then perhaps they are wrong!
In life, you can do what you want and be willing to pay any price and sacrifice for it. This is freedom!

If you are born with a mission, have no choice, and must pay the price of blood, then that is shackles.

Even though this scripture protected the Xiang family's inheritance to some extent, Zhong Lixiao still believed that it was a shackle.

Because even if it is a scripture, it needs to keep pace with the times. It is best to be used by the tribe, rather than passively becoming a human skin to pass on the scriptures.

If we think of human nature in a darker way, if not every member of the Xiang family was cursed, the men would not live long, and if a woman stayed with her lover for too long, her husband might die suddenly.

Zhong Lixiao was completely certain that the Xiang family would inevitably become the kind of evil family that appeared glamorous on the surface but was corrupt behind the scenes, and even full of thieves and prostitutes.

After all, sacrificing a family woman every once in a while can ensure the prosperity of the family. What a good deal that is, right?
Zhong Lixiao held Xiang Xueer's hand, and subconsciously held it tighter.

As for himself, he changed immediately and turned back into the appearance of the Queen Mother of the Mansion.

The core reason for doing so comes down to instinct.

The monk's intuition told him that this was what he should do.

Not only that, Zhong Lixiao no longer concealed the scent of incense that belonged exclusively to the gods.

Sure enough, as he relaxed his restraint on the smell of incense, Wuyou Cave's subtle rejection of him dissipated somewhat.

Xiang Xueer was quite surprised to see Brother Zhong change his appearance again, although she was not surprised.

Even she had to admit that Senior Brother Zhong's disguise skills were truly superb.

He really is good at pretending to be whatever he is, even the touch of his hand is completely different.

Xiang Xueer couldn't help but feel very magical, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.

But how could she know that Zhong Lixiao's transformation was all achieved through the magical powers of the costumes and leather sets "on stage and behind the scenes".

Putting on a new leather cover is like starting a whole new show, and the effect is naturally completely different.

As for its current appearance, that is Han Danniang's divine body, so it is natural that it feels different.

The two walked hand in hand towards the depths of the Worry-Free Cave. The deeper they went, the more depressing the atmosphere became, and the sadness seemed to become real.

Although the Wuyou Cave has similar means to the screen-opening cave, it does not look big from the outside, but it is indeed a different world inside.

Even so, the space inside Wuyou Cave is still not particularly large.

As one goes deeper into the cave, the environment changes and there are more fields and fruit trees.

The fruit trees are lush, but also barren.

The fruit trees are laden with fruits, but no one is picking them.

As for under the fruit trees, there are a large number of ripe fruits piled up and rolling. It is obvious that even if these fruits are ripe and rotten, no one will pick them.

As for the fields, they were completely engulfed by weeds.

From this, it can be seen that this piece of land has not been taken care of for quite a long time.

Not far away, the two soon saw a house that was also quite dilapidated.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao immediately said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Let's go in and take a look!"

Xiang Xueer nodded and said, "I will listen to Senior Brother Zhong."

Accompanied by the creaking sound of door hinges and dust flying in their faces, the two entered the room.

The furnishings in the room were all there, but they were all covered with a thick layer of dust.

But just by taking a quick look at the furnishings in the room, you can still tell that this is a woman's boudoir.

There are all kinds of things, including dressing tables, mirror boxes, wooden combs, and rouge boxes.

In addition, there are women's clothing of various styles and colors, from which we can see that the woman who lived in this house in the past was also a woman who loved life and dressing up very much.

If you think about the fruit trees and fields outside, you might be able to see that this woman was also a little girl who loved to eat in the past.

Even after entering Wuyou Cave, she still did not abandon her old hobbies.

But now everything is decayed!
The carefully built wooden house is empty now that no one has left.

Even the fields that he had opened up with his own hands in the past became barren, and even if the fruit trees he had planted with his own hands were very fruitful, no one would enjoy the fruits anymore.

There was inevitably a moment of silence between the two!
After a while, the two saw another small wooden house.

But unlike the previous cabin that was full of fruits, almost all that was left in this cabin were various yellowed paintings.

It is still a woman's boudoir, but unlike the previous girl who loved all kinds of food and was full of life, this should be a talented woman full of literary and artistic style.

Even at the end, her paintings were still preserved very well.

but.

Time is merciless. No matter how carefully she preserves her scrolls, they will still decay under the influence of insects and the power of time.

Zhong Lixiao and Xiang Xueer pieced everything together and finally could barely see a very tiny part of the painting that filled the whole room.

The content of the painting is exactly a woman and a man walking together arm in arm.

The talented man and the beautiful woman are a perfect match.

Seeing the blurry portrait on the incomplete painting, Xiang Xue'er suddenly recalled something and exclaimed, "I remember now. The woman in the story is called Xiang Nianshuang. She was once one of the most talented women in our Xiang family."

"She was once unstoppable and achieved the Golden Core when she was twenty years younger than me."

"While she was traveling around the world, she fell in love with a man. They loved each other deeply and left behind a beautiful story."

"It was at this time that Patriarch Nian Shuang's mentality changed. He no longer wanted to inherit the family's mission, so he had a very fierce dispute with the family."

"She once said that an inheritance and mission that cannot be chosen is a curse. Even without the scriptures left by our ancestors, as long as Xiang Nian Shuang is given enough time, she can fight her way to the level of a spirit and create a new world for the Xiang family."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but cheer.

but.

Looking at this house full of decaying paintings, one can guess that Xiang Nianshuang failed. She finally chose to accept her fate and died alone in Wuyou Cave.

I can only rely on painting to relieve my longing for my lover!
Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but ask, "Why did she give up resistance later?"

Xiang Xue'er said expressionlessly, "Ancestor Nian Shuang's lover was ill and died suddenly. Ancestor Nian Shuang was completely disheartened."

Zhong Lixiao: “.”
