The Otherworldly God

As long as they escape from Xinglin Hall, it would be easy to return to the main courtyard. After all, the gatekeeper was very familiar with Le Zheng Shui Ling, and he could just tell a lie and let her in, saving him from having to wait for her to plot against him and suffer again.

The three of them went straight to the Hall of Repentance. Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling, who had been going to the Hall of Repentance for a month, were familiar with every route and arrived there quickly.

The Hall of Repentance had been burned down to a stone tablet, which was also turned black by smoke.

Seeing the tragic situation in the Repentance Hall and thinking of the firefighters who arrived late, Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming thought that he would not survive. However, he miraculously survived. It was simply unbelievable and they were also very angry about it.

Le Zheng Yuhua looked around and found an area in the center of the hall with no signs of burning. That seemed to be the place where he fell last, so he immediately asked Le Zheng Qiming to take him there.

"When we saw you, you were in this position. Perhaps the barrier of the Heavenly Sword protected you."

"Wrong, it's my barrier."

Qing Guo suddenly appeared, and Le Zheng Shuiling was so scared that he dropped his sword.

"Who are you? Are you a demon?"

"You are the thing, you are the demon. My name is Qingguo, and I have been living in this sword. I just woke up from the sword three years ago. You are Yuhua's friend, right?"

Qingguo's eyes were full of anticipation. Although Le Zheng Yuhua had no intention of making friends with anyone, she had made friends with Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming. What's more, she was also helpless and they were her saviors. She did not deny it, but she did not explicitly say that they were friends.

"You saved me twice, thank you Qingguo."

"You're welcome. You are the master of this sword. It was the sword that sensed you falling into the water. It was also the sword that broke the barrier this time so I could get out. Although I don't remember what happened before, I can feel that you are also my master. Qingguo has no choice but to protect the master."

Le Zheng Shui Ling picked up the sword.

"Since you saved Brother Yuhua, I will let you go."

"I don't need you to let me go, humph."

"What did you say?"

The two of them started arguing and were still competing to see who had a better relationship with Le Zheng Yuhua. In the end, they even started fighting. Le Zheng Yuhua did not stop them. In his eyes, it was just a fight between two children.

Moreover, he could see that Le Zheng Shuiling had been extremely worried these days and had been suppressing her emotions. It was time for her to let them out.

“There are paintings on the mahogany pillars of the Hall of Confession.”

The two stopped and asked in unison: "What painting?"

"It seemed to be a war. There were many people, or perhaps more than just people. Anyway, the battle was very brutal. I also saw this sword and another one."

"The Heavenly God Sword and the Heavenly Demon Sword, what you saw was an ancient battle."

"Ancient War?"

Le Zheng Qiming put Le Zheng Yuhua on the open ground and began to tell him about the records of the ancient war that he had seen.

“There are very few records about the Ancient War. There is no detailed historical record of what happened. Even the claim that the Ancient War was a war between gods and demons has been questioned by some people, but now everyone generally thinks so.

And now the version that is more accepted by the public is that the gods led the human Taoist alliance and other like-minded races in a huge battle with a legion led by the demons that attempted to dominate the world, with heavy casualties.

Facing the powerful demon army with the Heavenly Demon Sword, we were defeated step by step. Finally, the gods tried their best to create the Heavenly God Sword, the only weapon that could compete with the Heavenly Demon Sword. In the end, the only remaining god held the Heavenly God Sword and led the army to victory, driving the demons to the South Sea, south of Jimen Wilderness. From then on, the world ushered in peace. "

"Then why isn't the Heavenly Sword in God's hands?"

"This is one of the reasons why everyone wants to get the Heavenly Sword. God once sent down an oracle, saying that the demon army will definitely make a comeback, and at that time there will be a man chosen by heaven holding the Heavenly Sword to lead everyone to destroy the demons. You can't imagine how many people want to be this man chosen by heaven."

"But this sword may not be the Heavenly Sword."

"Anyway, they won't care about making another mistake. But don't worry, the people above won't be stupid enough to let out the news of the suspected Heavenly Sword. So what you should worry about mainly are your own people."

"I don't know if the painting I saw was of the Ancient War, but..."

Le Zheng Yuhua did not continue talking, because the content of the painting was consistent with what Le Zheng Qiming said, but he could not tell the specific differences.

What concerned him most was that he saw a girl in the painting who looked very much like Mu Xin. Perhaps that was why he had the hallucination of seeing Mu Xin before he fainted.

"Why are you guys here?"

Le Zhengfang and Le Zhengying were walking over. The three of them didn't hide, and there was nowhere to hide. She glanced at Qingguo and the Heavenly Sword. Qingguo was so scared that he hid behind Le Zhengyuhua, so she also took the opportunity to look at Le Zhengyuhua.

"Meet Aunt Fang and Sister Ying."

"Everything is alright?"

Le Zheng Shuiling looked at her own hand. Compared with Le Zheng Yuhua's, it was hard to even call it an injury, especially when she saw the blisters on his body and the festering skin when he changed the dressing.

"Thank you for your concern, aunt."

If it was before Le Zheng Yuhua said those words, she would definitely have questioned her why she didn't find out the real culprit.

"I heard from the people at Huichun Hall that your injury will take at least a long time to heal. It will take an unknown amount of time to fully recover."

Le Zheng Yuhua was very clear that the burn area was nearly 50%. Fortunately, there was no need to worry about disfigurement and the injuries were not very deep, but a layer of skin was useless.

The wound was festering, which was a sign of infection. There was no concept of antibiotics in this world. If the infection was serious, it would be normal for the person to go into shock and die.

Regarding Le Zhengfang's claim of complete recovery, it may be that she did not realize the problem of subsequent infection, but was directly concerned about the problem of scars. Le Zhengyuhua did not care whether there would be scars or not, not to mention that these scars would only be on the limbs and body, so she did not care even more.

"The Rejuvenation Hall will heal me."

"I was thinking about it. The Taoist apprentice assessment will begin in a few days. Your situation..."

"I will participate."

"Don't be so willful. Your situation is not suitable at all. I will discuss it with the head of the family and give you another chance in a year."

"Does that mean I have to waste another year?"

"Le Zheng Yuhua, we must be responsible for your life, so please cherish it."

"I'm sorry, but I am responsible for my own life, so I won't wait any longer for this year."

"What are you so anxious about?"

Le Zheng Yuhua leaned on his sword and took a few steps closer, enduring the pain. Qing Guo followed him, sticking close to his back.

"It's not about being impatient, but about not sparing any effort."

"If you fail this time, do you know what that means? The next assessment will be in two years."

"Please rest assured, Aunt Fang. My willpower is much stronger than this body."

Le Zhengfang looked into his eyes, and at that moment she seemed to see the grown-up Le Zheng Yuhua, a Le Zheng Yuhua who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. She did not persuade him anymore, nor could she persuade him anymore.

"Everyone go back and rest."

"Yes, Aunt Fang."

Before leaving, Le Zhengfang reminded them: "The distrust of other races in this world is not a one-day thing. We humans will not easily accept things that are different from us, let alone treat them kindly. Let's do what's best for us."

It was Qingguo who said this. Lezheng Shuiling and Lezheng Qiming all looked at her. Qingguo didn't know how to explain her life experience, so she had to hide in the sword.

"Don't worry, since he is Brother Yuhua's savior, he is probably our benefactor, right?"

"That's right, but it's better to avoid it if possible in front of other people."

"Okay, let's go back. I wonder if Doctor Baizhi would know that we sneaked out... Let's go, let's go."
