You are not allowed to become a demon through books
In Chapter 6, Yi Xiaofei partly parallels the chapters, which makes the plot more reasonable.
Lu Zhuoyang was not close to the head of the sect, and he had no chance to come before, so this was his first visit to Qingjing Pavilion.However, there is nothing to see in Qingjing Pavilion. Its layout is almost the same as that of Mingxin Pavilion, and even the gauze curtains hanging around it are made of the same material.
He quickly lost interest, stopped looking around, and followed Xiao Wuwang obediently.
Upstairs was not only the head of the sect, but also his master Mingxin old man, with a solemn expression on Yishui's face.
Even the usually kind old man Mingxin had a serious face at this time.Lu Zhuoyang instinctively sensed something was wrong, and wanted to back away, but the old man Mingxin had seen him a long time ago, slowed down his expression, and greeted, "Come here, Zhuoyang."
"Uncle Master, Master." Lu Zhuoyang bit the bullet and saluted, and sat down on the futon pointed by the old man Mingxin.
As soon as he sat down firmly, Xiao Wuwang also sat down cross-legged, and said solemnly: "Senior brothers, you can start now."
What to start with?
The position where Xiao Wuwang was sitting was forming an equilateral triangle with the sect master and old man Mingxin, and Lu Zhuoyang was in the middle of this equilateral triangle.
This is three joint trials?
"Master...what are you looking for as an apprentice?" Lu Zhuoyang grew up, and only encountered such battles when the teacher visited his home. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.But looking at the attitudes of the elders, no one was going to explain to him, so he had to ask himself.
"Naturally finish what is unfinished." Xiao Wuwang returned, never leaving the old man Mingxin.
Old Man Mingxin sighed softly, took out something, handed it to Xiao Wuwang and said, "Since you're back, I'll open it for you."
With sharp eyes, Lu Zhuoyang recognized it as a broken spirit nail at a glance.So this is what Xiao Wuwang said was unfinished?Old Man Mingxin and Li Moming planned to do it for him a month ago.
Is there something wrong with this thing?Otherwise, why would Jiang Ling keep obstructing him.
Xiao Wuwang didn't say anything else, luck held up the magic weapon.Suddenly there were waves in the Qingjing Pavilion, the wind was strong, and the veils danced wildly, making people almost unable to open their eyes.The white candles under the eaves around the pillars ignited automatically one by one, burning steadily against the strong wind.
Lu Zhuoyang has seen it before, this is the posture of the spell, if you don't ask at this time, there will be no chance after the spell is completed.Thinking of this, Lu Zhuoyang hurriedly asked loudly: "Is it dangerous to break the spirit nail?"
Xiao Wuwang's aura suddenly stopped, and the sudden gust of wind in the pavilion stopped abruptly.
The head and old man Mingxin looked at him together.Xiao Wuwang knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly restrained himself, and continued to push his spiritual power into the Broken Spirit Nail.The strong wind picked up again, and this time it was stronger than before.
Even if he was a fool, he knew it was not good at this moment. Lu Zhuoyang hurriedly got up from the ground to run, but found that his position had been surrounded by a transparent barrier at some point. He could move inside, but he couldn't get out no matter what. go.
"Master!" Lu Zhuoyang was astonished, and slapped the transparent barrier wall vigorously, "What are you doing?"
The old man Mingxin turned his eyes away, just pretending not to see.
Lu Zhuoyang felt a chill in his heart.
Is this the teacher who is wholeheartedly for his good?
Now he's not sure either.
The mantra on the broken spirit nail changed from dark to bright, slowly lit up, and condensed into a small dark red snake, which traveled upstream and downstream from the broken spirit nail, and was pushed and studied by the huge spiritual power, and spread out in mid-air, turning into a thick cloud. The dark red liquid, as thick as ink, meanders and rushes towards the Sect Leader.
The headmaster formed a seal in his hand, and also pushed out a stream of spiritual power into the mantra. The dark red liquid became thicker and thicker, and turned towards the old man Mingxin again in a menacing manner.
The old man Mingxin did not inject any more spiritual power, but instead introduced the liquid between his palms.I saw a large piece of dark red liquid swimming by his side, the huge volume was tightly gathered, and it condensed back to the original appearance of a small snake.It's just that compared to the beginning, this little dark red snake is darker and more flexible.
The mantra snake that condensed three powerful spiritual powers seemed to be alive. It twisted and rolled in mid-air, returned to the side of the broken spirit nail, swallowed the whole nail, and then slowly swam towards Lu Zhuoyang. come over.
Lu Zhuoyang put his hand on his chest.
As if aware of the imminent danger, the domineering power in his body that had been at peace for a long time began to rush left and right again.
I felt that every inch of flesh and blood was about to be split open. The pain made Lu Zhuoyang break out in cold sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain.A pair of eyes changed color uncontrollably, from light to dark, turning into blood red; at the same time, a trace of black mist was released from the limbs and bones, the surrounding temperature continued to drop, and the consciousness gradually became unconscious, and he was about to lose consciousness.
At this moment, Xiao Wuwang shouted loudly: "It's now!"
There was a flash of light in the Qingjing Pavilion, and the curse snake was as fast as lightning, and it rushed into the barrier with lightning speed, and slammed into Lu Zhuo's eyebrows with a flick of its tail. Heart, all of a sudden disappeared.
Five nails come together.
It wasn't until this moment that Lu Zhuoyang could make a sound and cried out in pain.The five silver-white chains condensed with unprecedented brightness, sprang out quickly, and firmly bound his body.
As the temperature around him returned, the blood redness in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black mist around him also receded back, hiding in his body along with the silver-white chains.
In the blink of an eye, everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened - except for a snake mark left on Lu Zhuoyang's eyebrow.
Lu Zhuoyang panted heavily with his hands on the ground, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Is this over?" Lu Zhuoyang was a little confused, this time he didn't pass out the whole time, only had a moment of unconsciousness in the middle of the journey, and was soon pulled back to his senses by the piercing pain.
He thought he would die from such pain, but he didn't expect it to be over in an instant.
It's just that this time he didn't have the slightest bit of rejoicing and joy, he just thought: the spirit breaking nail is not a good thing; casting spells for him is not for his own good; they are all joining hands to hurt him and harm him.
"Have you achieved your goal?" He asked again.After the spell was completed, fatigue followed. He could barely open his eyes, but he still insisted on not falling asleep.
The three old men had no grievances against him, and there must be a reason for hurting him like this.
He thought of a possibility.
Perhaps they were indeed "all for him."But their favorite person is the original body who has lived on Yuling Mountain for 22 years.The past "Lu Zhuoyang".
That said, they found out he was an imposter, so they got to deal with him.
"You guys, do you want to avenge 'him'?" If this is the reason, it is understandable that they would do so.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"I'm a 'monster', right? If you suppress me, your good disciple will be able to come back, right?"
"Did you notice the big change in temperament from the very beginning?"
"I don't want to, I still want to go home..."
……
The sect leader really couldn't listen anymore, he said to Xiao Wuwang in a deep voice: "The gathering of five nails will damage the mind, I'm afraid he is still awake, send him back to rest."
Xiao Wuwang agreed, and got up to help Lu Zhuoyang.
"I'm not leaving." Lu Zhuoyang looked up at Xiao Wuwang and said, "I didn't mean to."
Xiao Wuwang didn't move where he was, looking at old man Mingxin with a complicated expression.
The old man Mingxin shook his head, stroked his beard, unable to do anything, after a while he said to the master: "Let's tell him the truth."
Xiao Wuwang looked at the master again.
The head frowned and asked, "You think so too?"
Xiao Wuwang pondered for a while, and said: "Anyway, I have to enter the battle, why not..."
The head of the sect nodded, and said to the old man Mingxin: "You can't be soft-hearted anymore."
The old man Mingxin said: "It won't happen, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to regret it any more. Don't worry, brother."
Listening to their conversation, Lu Zhuoyang felt in the fog.
Tell the truth, I will join the battle anyway, I can't be soft-hearted anymore...
It's all about what.
"Zhuo Yang has three seals on his body." The old man Mingxin said, "It is closely related to your life experience. Now I will open the seal. If you have anything to ask, you can wait for the seal to be opened before asking."
☆, seal
After the three bells rang, a small window was pushed open at the bottom of the stone door, and a small lacquered wooden box containing food was pushed in from the outside.
Jiang Ling sat on the ground and closed his eyes to meditate. Hearing the movement, he picked up a small stone. He didn't see how he aimed it. With a light flick, it bounced to the hand that was pushing the food box and hadn't retracted it.
"Take it."
Hearing the man's "Ouch", he quickly withdrew his hand: "Brother Jiang, your body is your own, you can eat as much as you want."
What responded to him was another small stone that flew over, passed through the small window of the stone door, and hit the ground.This time the stone didn't hold back its strength, it really smashed a small hole half a finger deep, if it fell on the back of the hand, it might be ruined on the spot.
The low-level disciple who delivered the meal could only admit that he was unlucky, and didn't dare to say another word, and hurriedly retreated outside.
This is the basement of the most side room of the Zhuyun Sect compound in Linyuan City, and it is specially used to detain disobedient disciples in the sect.Jiang Ling is stubborn, and he and Li Yingjie are frequent visitors here.But that was all when I was a child. After careful calculation, I haven't been here for four or five years.
Now it's time to visit again.
The food delivery disciple returned to the ground with a frustrated face, locked the mechanism, and stood aside.No matter whether Jiang Ling eats or not, there must be enough time for him.
As soon as he sat down on the chair, two people rushed in from outside the house, the one walking in front was a woman, who was in a hurry, who was it not Li Ruyu?Following her was Fang Tianyue, the future son-in-law of the Cloud-chasing Sect, who was the most talked about in the sect these days.
As soon as he saw the person coming, the food delivery disciple secretly thought that it was not good, got up in a hurry, and called out respectfully: "Senior Sister Yu, Mr. Fang."
"Hmm." Li Ruyu waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Is my brother down there?"
The disciple who delivered the meal said: "Brother Jiang is indeed below."
Li Ruyu nodded clearly, then turned to Tianyue and said, "Brother Tianyue, let's go down."
The disciple who delivered the meal hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's absolutely impossible. Senior Sister Yu, the sect leader has told you that no one can go down until Senior Brother Jiang repents."
"My dad really said that?" Li Ruyu pouted, revealing a displeasure on his face.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the food delivery disciple: "The headmaster said... You especially can't let Senior Sister Yu go down."
"Smelly old man!" Li Ruyu stomped her feet angrily.
Fang Tianyue hurriedly said: "Pay attention to your words, how can a girl say such indecent words."
Li Ruyu glared at him, and said to the disciple who delivered the meal: "I don't care, I have to go down today, you can tell my father now that you can't stop me. If he wants to punish me, let him come anyway. "After saying that, he pushed the person away, went straight forward, opened the mechanism, and walked down without looking back.
After walking a few steps and seeing that Fang Tianyue didn't follow, he turned his head and said angrily, "Brother Tianyue, are you coming?"
"Offended." Fang Tianyue smiled apologetically at the meal delivery disciple, and hurriedly followed.
The footsteps of the two echoed in the corridor of the basement. Li Ruyu and Fang Tianyue walked through quickly, and hurried to the only closed stone door at the end of the corridor.
Li Ruyu was impatient, squatting on the ground and patting the stone slab, listening to the movement inside, shouting: "Brother Ling, brother Ling? Can you hear me?"
Jiang Ling could hear her making such a big commotion, and said helplessly, "I heard it from a long distance away. I'm about to get married, so why are you still making such noise?"
"I want you to take care of it." Li Ruyu held back his mouth and said, "Brother Ling is here to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, but the news is very well-informed."
"On the way back, Master told me." Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, and said, "Junior Sister has a bad temper, please bear with me from now on."
He didn't specify Dao's surname when he said this, but Fang Tianyue could understand that he was speaking to him.
Regardless of whether he could see it or not, Fang Tianyue gave a salute to Shimen, and said with a smile: "Fang Tianyue is duty-bound."
"Sweet words." Li Ruyu muttered in a low voice, cast a glance at him, and said to Jiang Ling, "Brother Tianyue and I just returned to the school today, and we have heard about Brother Ling. If you say you will betray the sect because of a monster, None of us believed it."
She paused, then glanced at Fang Tianyue, who held her hand and nodded.
"My father is getting old, and he's not dizzy yet. There's no reason why he won't confine people casually. Brother Ling, tell us the truth about what happened, so we can find a way to help you."
Now that Jiang Ling is in prison, the only thing he can count on is this little junior sister.He thought for a while and said, "It's a long story."
Jiang Ling organized some words, narrating what happened after he and Lu Zhuoyang left Yuling Mountain, omitting the reason for bringing Lu Zhuoyang down the mountain, and the part about the two of them making a private decision for life under the cliff. Come one by one.
After Jiang Ling finished speaking, the confinement room fell into silence.
After a while, Fang Tianyue pondered and said: "From what you can see, my junior brother was brought back to Yuling Mountain by the second uncle, so he should be safe and sound. But from your tone, it doesn't look like that." What happened. Mr. Jiang, do you still have something to hide from us?"
"I told you that you don't believe me." Jiang Ling paused, and said, "I've said everything I can say, and I'll explain the rest to you two when the time is right. It happened after the two of us left Yuling Mountain. What's the matter, tell me and listen to me."
Since Jiang Ling didn't want to talk about it, it would be useless to ask again, so Li Ruyu stopped talking and told him everything about the follow-up.
After listening to her, Jiang Ling confirmed again: "So...all the disciples on the mountain were driven down?"
"Exactly." Fang Tianyue answered, "Master told all the brothers and sisters to return to Yuling Mountain only after they have practiced for a full moon in this world."
Not allowed to go up the mountain for a month?
Jiang Ling couldn't help but think of what Li Moming said when he brought him back.
"You stay in the confinement room and think about your mistakes. After a month, you will be released."
Yuling Mountain was emptied for a month; Li Moming shut him down for a month.This month, is there a mystery in it?
Integrating information from various sources, Jiang Ling thought for a moment, and said, "I have to leave. Junior sister—"
"Stop, stop, stop," Li Ruyu hurriedly interrupted him, "Brother Ling, do you want me to let you go?"
As expected of the affection he grew up with, Jiang Ling's thoughts were guessed before he finished speaking.
Jiang Ling said: "Exactly."
Li Ruyu muttered in a low voice: "If I let you go, Daddy will definitely beat me to death."
"...but I'm not afraid. Brother Tianyue will stand up for me." She hooked Fang Tianyue's arm and smiled, lowered her voice, and said like a thief, "Let's steal the keys at night."
"If you have anything to ask, wait for the seal to be opened before asking." After the old man Mingxin said this, the headmaster and Xiao Wuwang wisely got up and left, leaving the Qingjing Pavilion to the two masters and apprentices.
Lu Zhuoyang became more and more confused.I was angry and scared, and I was very nervous.
Besides the broken spirit nail, there is also the seal of Lao Shizi?But the old man Mingxin looked serious when he said this, it didn't look like he was joking at all.
Looks like real.
Just wait for the "unseal"?
"Then... okay." Lu Zhuoyang reluctantly agreed.He was holding back his doubts and wanted to ask, even if several old people wanted to put him to death because he took over the original body, at least they should be a ghost.
The process of unlocking the seal is surprisingly simple.
Lu Zhuoyang thought that there would be a big battle like piercing the spirit nail, and it would turn the world upside down and the wind would blow.
Unexpectedly, the old man Mingxin picked up two white porcelain cups that were rolling back and forth from the ground, and tried to knock them against each other. After the sound was satisfactory, they knocked each other rhythmically, playing a simple and elegant melody. Here comes a nice tune.
When he heard the music playing, Lu Zhuoyang was terrified - isn't this the lullaby his mother hummed to him when he refused to sleep at night when he was a child!
The only difference between the two is that what my mother hums is always part of it, but what Old Man Mingxin plays is a complete piece.
The more Lu Zhuoyang heard it, the more frightened he became, and the heat around his neck became more and more hot. He pulled down the front of his shirt and looked down, but saw several strange patterns on his skin from light to dark, becoming vivid. When the color of the patterns reached the darkest, There was a sudden jump, and the lines became chaotic at once, twisted into a ball like life, more and more tightly entangled, and finally twisted into a line, and then formed a circle, shrinking and shrinking, becoming a needle-sized needle. A dark mole attached to the collarbone.Lu Zhuoyang wanted to touch it, but he didn't.
"Ding--"
With the end of the last note, the mole seemed to be burned by something, made a squeak, and disappeared into a wisp of blue smoke.
Lu Zhuoyang lost his finger, and could only touch his collarbone instead, and asked strangely, "Is this gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a needle-like pain rushing into his brain like an overwhelming mountain.
He was very familiar with this pain, it was exactly the same as the pain that occurred when he woke up in this world on the first day and the memory of the original body suddenly appeared in his mind!
no no no!It should hurt a little bit more.
The spirit nail was broken first, and then the seal was unsealed, never without pain—could he be more unlucky?
Fortunately, it came and went quickly. After the pain subsided like a tide, Lu Zhuoyang slowed down, wiped off the sweat on his face, and raised his head to look at old man Mingxin.
"How do you feel?" Mingxin asked the old man.
"I seem to..." Lu Zhuoyang opened his mouth.
His memory faltered for a moment.
But soon this mixed sense of time and space disappeared, and the "memory" of the original body that was poured in, false, and fabricated out of thin air to make the current him adapt was lifted and eliminated.
——There is no such thing as the original and the counterfeit.
There is only one Lu Zhuoyang in this world.
He remembered it all.
☆, think absolutely
That night.
All sounds are silent.
A patrolling guard passed through the corridor and disappeared around the corner.
In the darkness, a shadow jumped down from the beam of the house, and one dodged, hiding behind the rockery.After a while, another figure rushed in.
The two men in black got together, one of them pulled down his mask, revealing a small and fair face that belonged to a woman, and shook the things in his hand with some pride: "I have the key. How about you, did you get it?"
The other person also pulled down his mask, revealing a gentle and delicate face, but it was a young man: "It should be this one."
A man and a woman sneaking around at night chasing clouds, who is it not Li Ruyu and Fang Tianyue?
While speaking, Fang Tianyue handed a long black cloth package to Li Ruyu.
Li Ruyu took the package, opened a gap, took a rough look at it in the dim light, and stuffed it back into Fang Tianyue's hand, saying: "There is a word 'Nianyou', it is right, it belongs to Brother Ling. Hurry up and leave."
The two made a calculation, put on the mask again, and ran towards the basement of the side room.
Chasing Cloud Sect has a great reputation, and there are not many people who are stupid enough to send them to commit crimes and suffer crimes, and there are even fewer who are concerned about confining disciples. As a result, there are almost no people in the basement, only a low-level disciple on duty waiting in the room on the ground. In case of sudden accidents, it is better to have someone to take care of them.
When Fang Tianyue and Li Ruyu sneaked into the side room, the low-level disciples on duty were yawning, almost unable to keep their eyes open.
Fang Tianyue searched around, but couldn't find any hidden weapon, so she took off Li Ruyu's hairpin, and hit the disciple on duty skillfully. .
The hairpin rolled to the ground along the hem of his clothes. Fang Tianyue jumped down from the hiding place, bent down to pick it up, wiped off the dust on it, and blew it carefully, then handed it to Li Ruyu, and said with a smile: " Return to the original owner."
Li Ruyu glanced at him without saying a word, opened the mechanism neatly, and went straight to the basement.
Jiang Ling has been waiting for a long time.
"Have you got the key?" Jiang Ling asked.
"That's natural, don't look at who I am, I can find out what Dad hides with my eyes closed." Li Ruyu was complacent, and handed the key to Fang Tianyue, "Brother Tianyue, come and open it."
Fang Tianyue took it, inserted it into the keyhole of the stone door, and followed the formula chanted by Li Ruyu three times, forward and backward, and then pushed the key in again.
With a click, the mechanism made a crisp sound, and the stone door rattled against the ground, and slowly moved outward.
Seeing this, Fang Tianyue quickly grabbed Li Ruyu and took a step back.
The door opened a foot wide, Jiang Ling stepped out sideways, and faced the two of them.
I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Fang Tianyue hasn't changed much; Li Ruyu's face has grown a little flesh, making her look fairer and more well-behaved; Jiang Ling has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion is also very bad.
This must have been a lot of suffering, Li Ruyu only felt distressed, but she also knew that it was not a good time to reminisce about the old days, so she didn't say much, took the long package and handed it to Jiang Ling, and stuffed a Qiankun bag into his hand , said: "Daddy is still in Yixintang, but he won't be here for long, brother Ling, you go, it's too late."
Jiang Ling looked down and saw that it was the universe bag he was used to: "Thank you, Junior Sister, I—"
"What about me, when did Brother Ling become such a mother-in-law!" Li Ruyu said bitterly, "Leave quickly, Brother Tianyue and I will stay here to delay for you."
Fang Tianyue said: "What Ruyu said is very true, since Mr. Jiang wants to leave, don't delay."
Jiang Ling looked at him, nodded slightly, and said: "Junior Sister, I will leave it to you." After saying that, he clenched his long sword tightly, and quickly left the basement, hiding in the night.
Roughly calculating the time Jiang Ling needed, it was estimated that he was already far away. Then Fang and Li returned to the ground and woke up the low-level disciples on duty: "Hey—wake up."
When the low-ranking disciple woke up rubbing his sleepy eyes, Li Ruyu pointed to close the door, seemingly unintentionally said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, my brother ran away."
Yuling Mountain, Qingjing Pavilion.
Lu Zhuoyang knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing.
Old Man Mingxin waited for him for a while, then stroked his long beard and asked, "Do you remember?"
Lu Zhuoyang didn't look up at him, but just nodded.
The old man Mingxin understood, and asked again: "Have you ever regretted it?"
Lu Zhuoyang replied simply, and quickly shook his head.
"In that case, there must be nothing I want to ask." The old man Mingxin hammered his knees, and like an ordinary old man, he stood up slowly with one hand on the ground, "It's getting late, so go back and rest if you want to .”
He paused, and then said: "There is still business to do tomorrow, so don't delay."
Lu Zhuoyang still lowered his head and did not respond.It wasn't until the old man Mingxin stood at the corner of the stairs and was about to go downstairs that he heard his slightly dull voice: "Teacher...you have your own measure."
"That's good, that's good." Ming Xin muttered to himself, walking down the stairs slowly.
Only Lu Zhuoyang was left in Qingjing Pavilion.
He sat dryly for a while, then raised his hand to his chest, turned his head sideways, and took off the rope hanging around his neck.
The bottom of the rope is decorated with jade pendant Acacia, which is lying in the palm of his hand, trembling slightly.
...it was Jiang Ling.
It happened to be this time.
"When the ends of the earth are poor, there is only endless lovesickness."
The lovesickness continues, and the corners are silent.
I don't know where Jiang Ling is now.
Lu Zhuoyang just stared at Acacia in a daze, as if he had thought a lot, but at the same time he didn't seem to think about anything.
In today's situation, there are still people who miss him, and he must be at peace in his heart, and it is not in vain to "live one time for himself".
But why is my heart so bitter?The sugar is mixed with yellow lotus, and the honey is also mixed with sand.
Acacia trembled for a long time, then suddenly stopped.Lu Zhuoyang was taken aback for a moment, spreading his hands, feeling a little helpless.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the jade pendant was shaken again, as if it could not be supported by both hands.
Jiang Ling.
Lu Zhuoyang's heart moved, and he couldn't hold back his emotions any longer. He put his palm to his face and sobbed silently.
...Sorry, he lied.
Just now when old man Mingxin asked him "Have you ever regretted it", he didn't answer the truth.He has always known that being in it and knowing everything is not necessarily a good thing.It's just that I didn't think through it at the beginning, but now it's too late.
If there is a chance to start all over again, if there is a chance to ask again.He, Lu Zhuoyang, will never make the same choice again.
22 years ago.
On Yuling Mountain, the old master received two letter cranes at the same time.
A piece of cloud: Fulfilling the mission, a mountain town finds a yin and yang body.
Another cloud: A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the far west, the clear springs dried up, the rivers poured backwards, the thick fog rose everywhere, and all the beasts went crazy. Great changes are feared, everyone knows.
That night, the top of Yuling Mountain was full of red lights.
The old headmaster secretly thought that it was not good, so he called all the disciples in the door, and made a solemn statement, saying: "Swear to the death to guard the Locking Demon Well." Then he led the Lingling faction to ride the wind and go west overnight.
The chaos in the Far West lasted for a few days. When the spirit-controlling faction arrived, they could only see desolation everywhere, the forests were completely destroyed, and the people were devastated.This rare earthquake disaster in a century has razed the entire Far West to the ground.
Because there is no one inhabited within a hundred miles, it has little influence on the world, so it has never attracted attention. Only people who escaped from west to east brought back a little bit of gossip for chatting.However, within a few days, the sound disappeared from the streets and alleys.
Afterwards, the situation was calm, until more than a month later, another big news came out from the cultivation world, and the matter was completely covered up - the head of the Lingling Sect retired from Zen and entrusted the sect to the first disciple.And this person is Ming Xin and Xiao Wuwang's senior brother He Qiyou.
Cultivators only think of the spirit-controlling sect as cultivating their minds and nature, being bold and open-minded, but retreating bravely in the midst of a prosperous age, is an outlier in the world of comprehension, but it also makes people have to admire it.
However, cultivators only know one thing and don't know the other.
The old head of the Lingling Sect did not retire, but buried his whole life cultivation base together with the lives of 130 nine disciples in the extreme west.
This devastating earthquake disaster not only turned the Far West upside down, but also shook the foundation of the Demon Locking Well here.
"People in the world only know that the magic lock well can trap all evil spirits in the world, but they don't know who set up the magic lock formation in the first place, and who guarded it for thousands of years. After the earthquake, no one thought of this deep well.
"It's just that other people may not care about it, but my spirit control faction can't stay out of it.
"Guarding the Demon Locking Well is the foundation of my faction, and I have been shouldering this responsibility for thousands of years.
"It's just that over the years, there have been more or less flaws in the magic lock formation, but it has never been damaged so badly." When he first saw the lock magic well after the earthquake, the old master sighed and said to the disciples, "This time, we are afraid that there will be no return."
The land of the extreme west was destroyed, and the magic lock formation was broken.
The old head made a decisive decision and ordered 130 nine disciples to stay awake without rest, set up a temporary formation to trap the evil spirits in the well, and ordered three direct disciples to redraw the formation talisman with flesh and blood.
However, everyone's power is limited after all, if the magic lock formation is restarted, the eye of the formation must be suppressed by the power of Jijing Town, the yin soul and yangming body.
Among the three direct disciples of the old master, Xiao Wuwang has the highest aptitude, or the only one among the three who can rush back and forth and still have enough energy to finish drawing the formation talisman.Therefore, he was ordered to bring back the person whose fate matches the fate.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but at the same time that the magic lock well was broken, the yin and yang body, which had not been seen for a hundred years, appeared in the world.Considering the age, the birth is less than a full moon.
And this person is none other than Lu Zhuoyang.
☆, Nianduan
Five years later.
It was another quiet day in Yuling Mountain, the sky was clear and the air was clear. The young Yuling disciples gathered in the open grass field, lined up neatly, and concentrated on practicing qi.
It was not a bright day to teach, he had nothing to do, so he walked outside the field and turned around.All the disciples looked serious, their attitudes were correct, and they didn't slack off in the slightest.
Taking all the attitudes of the people into his eyes, Ming Xin was still not satisfied, his eyes continued to wander in the line, and after searching carefully, he really found that there was a little Douding missing.He shook his head helplessly, put his hands behind his back, turned and walked towards the courtyard.
He walked straight through the garden, and at last stopped outside a wooden gate.When he was about to knock on the door, he kicked something with his toe. When he looked down, the sign beside the door had fallen off.
Ming Xin bent down, picked up the sign, wiped off the dust on it, and hung the sign back to its original position.
The wooden sign shook twice and stopped, and the three characters "Lu Zhuoyang" in ancient style on it finally settled down.
He listened to the movement in the room, then raised his hand and knocked three times rhythmically.
"Knock knock knock."
No one responded, so Ming Xin knocked three more times and asked, "Is Zhuo Yang here?"
There was a flutter in the room immediately, but it was quiet again soon, and then a buzzing voice muffled in the cotton mattress answered, "Tu'er is not here."
Ming Xin smiled and said: "Why don't you go to the class with the brothers and shut yourself in the room again?"
At this time, Lu Zhuoyang was only five years old, and he hadn't lost his childishness yet. He spoke in a childish voice, but put on a serious face.It seems that he also forgot the etiquette, just threw himself on the bed, raised his head and argued loudly: "The master master said that my soul is unstable and my seven stars are unstable, so I can't study the law with my brothers!"
"Oh... the master master really told you that?"
Lu Zhuoyang turned his lips away, twitched a bit, and finally replied truthfully: "The master master said...the big guys should let me more. But they can't beat me, so I don't need them to let me!"
"Uncle Master is also doing it for your own good... Forget it, how about practicing with you as a teacher? I will definitely not let you."
After hesitating for a while in the room, he said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Ming Xin said, "But you can't be so puffed up that you don't see people and don't attend class, remember?"
The room was quiet for a while, and after a while, the little milkman grabbed the edge of the bed, kicked his calves, and moved out of the bed.
Ming Xin waited patiently. There was a sound of head bumping against the table and chairs in the room, and then the door creaked open. A small head poked out from the inside and smiled sweetly at him: "Teacher, remember gone."
Ming Xin beckoned: "Come out." The little Lu Zhuoyang was even happier when he heard that, he opened a pair of small fleshy hands, stepped forward with short legs, and threw himself into Ming Xin's arms.
"Hey, it's so heavy again." Ming Xin bent down and picked him up, patted his little butt, hugged him tightly, and walked slowly in the yard.Lin Li asked: "Nanny is young, but she knows how to be strong and competitive.... I ask you as a teacher, do you still remember what I taught you the day before yesterday?"
"Tuer remembers." Little Lu Zhuoyang hugged Mingxin's neck with a pair of small fleshy hands, and nodded seriously, "Tuer is locked with a monster, so you can't tell others, even Senior Brother Tianyue; if you feel unwell, hurry up Looking for master and uncle, I can't bear it by myself;" he said, his voice became weaker and his head drooped, "the soul is not complete, so I can't learn advanced magic skills..."
Ming Xin squeezed his chubby face, and said: "Zhuo Yang is so good. Many people will die poorly and never learn advanced spells. If they are too persistent, they can't ask for another one. Skills are one thing, not flashy. , as long as you can protect yourself. This is also the purpose of my school of controlling spirits, and you will understand when you are older. Don’t be unhappy now... How about I secretly teach you the art of seducing mind as a teacher?"
"Okay!" You can learn ahead of others, little Lu Zhuoyang's ears immediately pricked up, and he became more energetic, and he was so happy that he raised his fingers and counted one by one, "I still need to learn the art of controlling the sword! Lingxi step Dharma! You also need to learn the technique of smell consciousness!"
"Little baby is really greedy." Ming Xin laughed loudly, "It's all up to you. But as a teacher, I will give you a small recipe, and you can't tell others."
"Good~"
……
The old and the young laughed heartily without any grievances as if it was just yesterday, and even the complacent mood because of the master's preference can still be vaguely remembered.
However, Lu Zhuoyang understood very well. At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know the true meaning of what the old man Mingxin said.
As I grow older, I understand the right and wrong, and the righteousness of the common people, and then I gradually understand what I am carrying.
After the Demon Locking Well was destroyed, all 130 nine disciples of the Yuling School who had tied their hair, set up temporary formations to lock the demons without sleep, and finally died of exhaustion;
The old master and Suo Mojing Town's Wuling Nail did not agree with each other. In order to delay the temporary formation to Xiao Wuwang, he brought back the Yin Soul and Yangming Body, suppressed the formation with his body, destroyed all his cultivation, and left alone before he died. Yuling Mountain;
Xiao Wuwang ran wildly with his sword for several days and nights, but in the end he failed to save the old master. He was so angry that he used his own flesh and blood to draw the magic-locking formation rune, and finally went mad and was caught by the rune.
He quickly lost interest, stopped looking around, and followed Xiao Wuwang obediently.
Upstairs was not only the head of the sect, but also his master Mingxin old man, with a solemn expression on Yishui's face.
Even the usually kind old man Mingxin had a serious face at this time.Lu Zhuoyang instinctively sensed something was wrong, and wanted to back away, but the old man Mingxin had seen him a long time ago, slowed down his expression, and greeted, "Come here, Zhuoyang."
"Uncle Master, Master." Lu Zhuoyang bit the bullet and saluted, and sat down on the futon pointed by the old man Mingxin.
As soon as he sat down firmly, Xiao Wuwang also sat down cross-legged, and said solemnly: "Senior brothers, you can start now."
What to start with?
The position where Xiao Wuwang was sitting was forming an equilateral triangle with the sect master and old man Mingxin, and Lu Zhuoyang was in the middle of this equilateral triangle.
This is three joint trials?
"Master...what are you looking for as an apprentice?" Lu Zhuoyang grew up, and only encountered such battles when the teacher visited his home. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.But looking at the attitudes of the elders, no one was going to explain to him, so he had to ask himself.
"Naturally finish what is unfinished." Xiao Wuwang returned, never leaving the old man Mingxin.
Old Man Mingxin sighed softly, took out something, handed it to Xiao Wuwang and said, "Since you're back, I'll open it for you."
With sharp eyes, Lu Zhuoyang recognized it as a broken spirit nail at a glance.So this is what Xiao Wuwang said was unfinished?Old Man Mingxin and Li Moming planned to do it for him a month ago.
Is there something wrong with this thing?Otherwise, why would Jiang Ling keep obstructing him.
Xiao Wuwang didn't say anything else, luck held up the magic weapon.Suddenly there were waves in the Qingjing Pavilion, the wind was strong, and the veils danced wildly, making people almost unable to open their eyes.The white candles under the eaves around the pillars ignited automatically one by one, burning steadily against the strong wind.
Lu Zhuoyang has seen it before, this is the posture of the spell, if you don't ask at this time, there will be no chance after the spell is completed.Thinking of this, Lu Zhuoyang hurriedly asked loudly: "Is it dangerous to break the spirit nail?"
Xiao Wuwang's aura suddenly stopped, and the sudden gust of wind in the pavilion stopped abruptly.
The head and old man Mingxin looked at him together.Xiao Wuwang knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly restrained himself, and continued to push his spiritual power into the Broken Spirit Nail.The strong wind picked up again, and this time it was stronger than before.
Even if he was a fool, he knew it was not good at this moment. Lu Zhuoyang hurriedly got up from the ground to run, but found that his position had been surrounded by a transparent barrier at some point. He could move inside, but he couldn't get out no matter what. go.
"Master!" Lu Zhuoyang was astonished, and slapped the transparent barrier wall vigorously, "What are you doing?"
The old man Mingxin turned his eyes away, just pretending not to see.
Lu Zhuoyang felt a chill in his heart.
Is this the teacher who is wholeheartedly for his good?
Now he's not sure either.
The mantra on the broken spirit nail changed from dark to bright, slowly lit up, and condensed into a small dark red snake, which traveled upstream and downstream from the broken spirit nail, and was pushed and studied by the huge spiritual power, and spread out in mid-air, turning into a thick cloud. The dark red liquid, as thick as ink, meanders and rushes towards the Sect Leader.
The headmaster formed a seal in his hand, and also pushed out a stream of spiritual power into the mantra. The dark red liquid became thicker and thicker, and turned towards the old man Mingxin again in a menacing manner.
The old man Mingxin did not inject any more spiritual power, but instead introduced the liquid between his palms.I saw a large piece of dark red liquid swimming by his side, the huge volume was tightly gathered, and it condensed back to the original appearance of a small snake.It's just that compared to the beginning, this little dark red snake is darker and more flexible.
The mantra snake that condensed three powerful spiritual powers seemed to be alive. It twisted and rolled in mid-air, returned to the side of the broken spirit nail, swallowed the whole nail, and then slowly swam towards Lu Zhuoyang. come over.
Lu Zhuoyang put his hand on his chest.
As if aware of the imminent danger, the domineering power in his body that had been at peace for a long time began to rush left and right again.
I felt that every inch of flesh and blood was about to be split open. The pain made Lu Zhuoyang break out in cold sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain.A pair of eyes changed color uncontrollably, from light to dark, turning into blood red; at the same time, a trace of black mist was released from the limbs and bones, the surrounding temperature continued to drop, and the consciousness gradually became unconscious, and he was about to lose consciousness.
At this moment, Xiao Wuwang shouted loudly: "It's now!"
There was a flash of light in the Qingjing Pavilion, and the curse snake was as fast as lightning, and it rushed into the barrier with lightning speed, and slammed into Lu Zhuo's eyebrows with a flick of its tail. Heart, all of a sudden disappeared.
Five nails come together.
It wasn't until this moment that Lu Zhuoyang could make a sound and cried out in pain.The five silver-white chains condensed with unprecedented brightness, sprang out quickly, and firmly bound his body.
As the temperature around him returned, the blood redness in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black mist around him also receded back, hiding in his body along with the silver-white chains.
In the blink of an eye, everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened - except for a snake mark left on Lu Zhuoyang's eyebrow.
Lu Zhuoyang panted heavily with his hands on the ground, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Is this over?" Lu Zhuoyang was a little confused, this time he didn't pass out the whole time, only had a moment of unconsciousness in the middle of the journey, and was soon pulled back to his senses by the piercing pain.
He thought he would die from such pain, but he didn't expect it to be over in an instant.
It's just that this time he didn't have the slightest bit of rejoicing and joy, he just thought: the spirit breaking nail is not a good thing; casting spells for him is not for his own good; they are all joining hands to hurt him and harm him.
"Have you achieved your goal?" He asked again.After the spell was completed, fatigue followed. He could barely open his eyes, but he still insisted on not falling asleep.
The three old men had no grievances against him, and there must be a reason for hurting him like this.
He thought of a possibility.
Perhaps they were indeed "all for him."But their favorite person is the original body who has lived on Yuling Mountain for 22 years.The past "Lu Zhuoyang".
That said, they found out he was an imposter, so they got to deal with him.
"You guys, do you want to avenge 'him'?" If this is the reason, it is understandable that they would do so.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"I'm a 'monster', right? If you suppress me, your good disciple will be able to come back, right?"
"Did you notice the big change in temperament from the very beginning?"
"I don't want to, I still want to go home..."
……
The sect leader really couldn't listen anymore, he said to Xiao Wuwang in a deep voice: "The gathering of five nails will damage the mind, I'm afraid he is still awake, send him back to rest."
Xiao Wuwang agreed, and got up to help Lu Zhuoyang.
"I'm not leaving." Lu Zhuoyang looked up at Xiao Wuwang and said, "I didn't mean to."
Xiao Wuwang didn't move where he was, looking at old man Mingxin with a complicated expression.
The old man Mingxin shook his head, stroked his beard, unable to do anything, after a while he said to the master: "Let's tell him the truth."
Xiao Wuwang looked at the master again.
The head frowned and asked, "You think so too?"
Xiao Wuwang pondered for a while, and said: "Anyway, I have to enter the battle, why not..."
The head of the sect nodded, and said to the old man Mingxin: "You can't be soft-hearted anymore."
The old man Mingxin said: "It won't happen, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to regret it any more. Don't worry, brother."
Listening to their conversation, Lu Zhuoyang felt in the fog.
Tell the truth, I will join the battle anyway, I can't be soft-hearted anymore...
It's all about what.
"Zhuo Yang has three seals on his body." The old man Mingxin said, "It is closely related to your life experience. Now I will open the seal. If you have anything to ask, you can wait for the seal to be opened before asking."
☆, seal
After the three bells rang, a small window was pushed open at the bottom of the stone door, and a small lacquered wooden box containing food was pushed in from the outside.
Jiang Ling sat on the ground and closed his eyes to meditate. Hearing the movement, he picked up a small stone. He didn't see how he aimed it. With a light flick, it bounced to the hand that was pushing the food box and hadn't retracted it.
"Take it."
Hearing the man's "Ouch", he quickly withdrew his hand: "Brother Jiang, your body is your own, you can eat as much as you want."
What responded to him was another small stone that flew over, passed through the small window of the stone door, and hit the ground.This time the stone didn't hold back its strength, it really smashed a small hole half a finger deep, if it fell on the back of the hand, it might be ruined on the spot.
The low-level disciple who delivered the meal could only admit that he was unlucky, and didn't dare to say another word, and hurriedly retreated outside.
This is the basement of the most side room of the Zhuyun Sect compound in Linyuan City, and it is specially used to detain disobedient disciples in the sect.Jiang Ling is stubborn, and he and Li Yingjie are frequent visitors here.But that was all when I was a child. After careful calculation, I haven't been here for four or five years.
Now it's time to visit again.
The food delivery disciple returned to the ground with a frustrated face, locked the mechanism, and stood aside.No matter whether Jiang Ling eats or not, there must be enough time for him.
As soon as he sat down on the chair, two people rushed in from outside the house, the one walking in front was a woman, who was in a hurry, who was it not Li Ruyu?Following her was Fang Tianyue, the future son-in-law of the Cloud-chasing Sect, who was the most talked about in the sect these days.
As soon as he saw the person coming, the food delivery disciple secretly thought that it was not good, got up in a hurry, and called out respectfully: "Senior Sister Yu, Mr. Fang."
"Hmm." Li Ruyu waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Is my brother down there?"
The disciple who delivered the meal said: "Brother Jiang is indeed below."
Li Ruyu nodded clearly, then turned to Tianyue and said, "Brother Tianyue, let's go down."
The disciple who delivered the meal hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's absolutely impossible. Senior Sister Yu, the sect leader has told you that no one can go down until Senior Brother Jiang repents."
"My dad really said that?" Li Ruyu pouted, revealing a displeasure on his face.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the food delivery disciple: "The headmaster said... You especially can't let Senior Sister Yu go down."
"Smelly old man!" Li Ruyu stomped her feet angrily.
Fang Tianyue hurriedly said: "Pay attention to your words, how can a girl say such indecent words."
Li Ruyu glared at him, and said to the disciple who delivered the meal: "I don't care, I have to go down today, you can tell my father now that you can't stop me. If he wants to punish me, let him come anyway. "After saying that, he pushed the person away, went straight forward, opened the mechanism, and walked down without looking back.
After walking a few steps and seeing that Fang Tianyue didn't follow, he turned his head and said angrily, "Brother Tianyue, are you coming?"
"Offended." Fang Tianyue smiled apologetically at the meal delivery disciple, and hurriedly followed.
The footsteps of the two echoed in the corridor of the basement. Li Ruyu and Fang Tianyue walked through quickly, and hurried to the only closed stone door at the end of the corridor.
Li Ruyu was impatient, squatting on the ground and patting the stone slab, listening to the movement inside, shouting: "Brother Ling, brother Ling? Can you hear me?"
Jiang Ling could hear her making such a big commotion, and said helplessly, "I heard it from a long distance away. I'm about to get married, so why are you still making such noise?"
"I want you to take care of it." Li Ruyu held back his mouth and said, "Brother Ling is here to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, but the news is very well-informed."
"On the way back, Master told me." Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, and said, "Junior Sister has a bad temper, please bear with me from now on."
He didn't specify Dao's surname when he said this, but Fang Tianyue could understand that he was speaking to him.
Regardless of whether he could see it or not, Fang Tianyue gave a salute to Shimen, and said with a smile: "Fang Tianyue is duty-bound."
"Sweet words." Li Ruyu muttered in a low voice, cast a glance at him, and said to Jiang Ling, "Brother Tianyue and I just returned to the school today, and we have heard about Brother Ling. If you say you will betray the sect because of a monster, None of us believed it."
She paused, then glanced at Fang Tianyue, who held her hand and nodded.
"My father is getting old, and he's not dizzy yet. There's no reason why he won't confine people casually. Brother Ling, tell us the truth about what happened, so we can find a way to help you."
Now that Jiang Ling is in prison, the only thing he can count on is this little junior sister.He thought for a while and said, "It's a long story."
Jiang Ling organized some words, narrating what happened after he and Lu Zhuoyang left Yuling Mountain, omitting the reason for bringing Lu Zhuoyang down the mountain, and the part about the two of them making a private decision for life under the cliff. Come one by one.
After Jiang Ling finished speaking, the confinement room fell into silence.
After a while, Fang Tianyue pondered and said: "From what you can see, my junior brother was brought back to Yuling Mountain by the second uncle, so he should be safe and sound. But from your tone, it doesn't look like that." What happened. Mr. Jiang, do you still have something to hide from us?"
"I told you that you don't believe me." Jiang Ling paused, and said, "I've said everything I can say, and I'll explain the rest to you two when the time is right. It happened after the two of us left Yuling Mountain. What's the matter, tell me and listen to me."
Since Jiang Ling didn't want to talk about it, it would be useless to ask again, so Li Ruyu stopped talking and told him everything about the follow-up.
After listening to her, Jiang Ling confirmed again: "So...all the disciples on the mountain were driven down?"
"Exactly." Fang Tianyue answered, "Master told all the brothers and sisters to return to Yuling Mountain only after they have practiced for a full moon in this world."
Not allowed to go up the mountain for a month?
Jiang Ling couldn't help but think of what Li Moming said when he brought him back.
"You stay in the confinement room and think about your mistakes. After a month, you will be released."
Yuling Mountain was emptied for a month; Li Moming shut him down for a month.This month, is there a mystery in it?
Integrating information from various sources, Jiang Ling thought for a moment, and said, "I have to leave. Junior sister—"
"Stop, stop, stop," Li Ruyu hurriedly interrupted him, "Brother Ling, do you want me to let you go?"
As expected of the affection he grew up with, Jiang Ling's thoughts were guessed before he finished speaking.
Jiang Ling said: "Exactly."
Li Ruyu muttered in a low voice: "If I let you go, Daddy will definitely beat me to death."
"...but I'm not afraid. Brother Tianyue will stand up for me." She hooked Fang Tianyue's arm and smiled, lowered her voice, and said like a thief, "Let's steal the keys at night."
"If you have anything to ask, wait for the seal to be opened before asking." After the old man Mingxin said this, the headmaster and Xiao Wuwang wisely got up and left, leaving the Qingjing Pavilion to the two masters and apprentices.
Lu Zhuoyang became more and more confused.I was angry and scared, and I was very nervous.
Besides the broken spirit nail, there is also the seal of Lao Shizi?But the old man Mingxin looked serious when he said this, it didn't look like he was joking at all.
Looks like real.
Just wait for the "unseal"?
"Then... okay." Lu Zhuoyang reluctantly agreed.He was holding back his doubts and wanted to ask, even if several old people wanted to put him to death because he took over the original body, at least they should be a ghost.
The process of unlocking the seal is surprisingly simple.
Lu Zhuoyang thought that there would be a big battle like piercing the spirit nail, and it would turn the world upside down and the wind would blow.
Unexpectedly, the old man Mingxin picked up two white porcelain cups that were rolling back and forth from the ground, and tried to knock them against each other. After the sound was satisfactory, they knocked each other rhythmically, playing a simple and elegant melody. Here comes a nice tune.
When he heard the music playing, Lu Zhuoyang was terrified - isn't this the lullaby his mother hummed to him when he refused to sleep at night when he was a child!
The only difference between the two is that what my mother hums is always part of it, but what Old Man Mingxin plays is a complete piece.
The more Lu Zhuoyang heard it, the more frightened he became, and the heat around his neck became more and more hot. He pulled down the front of his shirt and looked down, but saw several strange patterns on his skin from light to dark, becoming vivid. When the color of the patterns reached the darkest, There was a sudden jump, and the lines became chaotic at once, twisted into a ball like life, more and more tightly entangled, and finally twisted into a line, and then formed a circle, shrinking and shrinking, becoming a needle-sized needle. A dark mole attached to the collarbone.Lu Zhuoyang wanted to touch it, but he didn't.
"Ding--"
With the end of the last note, the mole seemed to be burned by something, made a squeak, and disappeared into a wisp of blue smoke.
Lu Zhuoyang lost his finger, and could only touch his collarbone instead, and asked strangely, "Is this gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a needle-like pain rushing into his brain like an overwhelming mountain.
He was very familiar with this pain, it was exactly the same as the pain that occurred when he woke up in this world on the first day and the memory of the original body suddenly appeared in his mind!
no no no!It should hurt a little bit more.
The spirit nail was broken first, and then the seal was unsealed, never without pain—could he be more unlucky?
Fortunately, it came and went quickly. After the pain subsided like a tide, Lu Zhuoyang slowed down, wiped off the sweat on his face, and raised his head to look at old man Mingxin.
"How do you feel?" Mingxin asked the old man.
"I seem to..." Lu Zhuoyang opened his mouth.
His memory faltered for a moment.
But soon this mixed sense of time and space disappeared, and the "memory" of the original body that was poured in, false, and fabricated out of thin air to make the current him adapt was lifted and eliminated.
——There is no such thing as the original and the counterfeit.
There is only one Lu Zhuoyang in this world.
He remembered it all.
☆, think absolutely
That night.
All sounds are silent.
A patrolling guard passed through the corridor and disappeared around the corner.
In the darkness, a shadow jumped down from the beam of the house, and one dodged, hiding behind the rockery.After a while, another figure rushed in.
The two men in black got together, one of them pulled down his mask, revealing a small and fair face that belonged to a woman, and shook the things in his hand with some pride: "I have the key. How about you, did you get it?"
The other person also pulled down his mask, revealing a gentle and delicate face, but it was a young man: "It should be this one."
A man and a woman sneaking around at night chasing clouds, who is it not Li Ruyu and Fang Tianyue?
While speaking, Fang Tianyue handed a long black cloth package to Li Ruyu.
Li Ruyu took the package, opened a gap, took a rough look at it in the dim light, and stuffed it back into Fang Tianyue's hand, saying: "There is a word 'Nianyou', it is right, it belongs to Brother Ling. Hurry up and leave."
The two made a calculation, put on the mask again, and ran towards the basement of the side room.
Chasing Cloud Sect has a great reputation, and there are not many people who are stupid enough to send them to commit crimes and suffer crimes, and there are even fewer who are concerned about confining disciples. As a result, there are almost no people in the basement, only a low-level disciple on duty waiting in the room on the ground. In case of sudden accidents, it is better to have someone to take care of them.
When Fang Tianyue and Li Ruyu sneaked into the side room, the low-level disciples on duty were yawning, almost unable to keep their eyes open.
Fang Tianyue searched around, but couldn't find any hidden weapon, so she took off Li Ruyu's hairpin, and hit the disciple on duty skillfully. .
The hairpin rolled to the ground along the hem of his clothes. Fang Tianyue jumped down from the hiding place, bent down to pick it up, wiped off the dust on it, and blew it carefully, then handed it to Li Ruyu, and said with a smile: " Return to the original owner."
Li Ruyu glanced at him without saying a word, opened the mechanism neatly, and went straight to the basement.
Jiang Ling has been waiting for a long time.
"Have you got the key?" Jiang Ling asked.
"That's natural, don't look at who I am, I can find out what Dad hides with my eyes closed." Li Ruyu was complacent, and handed the key to Fang Tianyue, "Brother Tianyue, come and open it."
Fang Tianyue took it, inserted it into the keyhole of the stone door, and followed the formula chanted by Li Ruyu three times, forward and backward, and then pushed the key in again.
With a click, the mechanism made a crisp sound, and the stone door rattled against the ground, and slowly moved outward.
Seeing this, Fang Tianyue quickly grabbed Li Ruyu and took a step back.
The door opened a foot wide, Jiang Ling stepped out sideways, and faced the two of them.
I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Fang Tianyue hasn't changed much; Li Ruyu's face has grown a little flesh, making her look fairer and more well-behaved; Jiang Ling has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion is also very bad.
This must have been a lot of suffering, Li Ruyu only felt distressed, but she also knew that it was not a good time to reminisce about the old days, so she didn't say much, took the long package and handed it to Jiang Ling, and stuffed a Qiankun bag into his hand , said: "Daddy is still in Yixintang, but he won't be here for long, brother Ling, you go, it's too late."
Jiang Ling looked down and saw that it was the universe bag he was used to: "Thank you, Junior Sister, I—"
"What about me, when did Brother Ling become such a mother-in-law!" Li Ruyu said bitterly, "Leave quickly, Brother Tianyue and I will stay here to delay for you."
Fang Tianyue said: "What Ruyu said is very true, since Mr. Jiang wants to leave, don't delay."
Jiang Ling looked at him, nodded slightly, and said: "Junior Sister, I will leave it to you." After saying that, he clenched his long sword tightly, and quickly left the basement, hiding in the night.
Roughly calculating the time Jiang Ling needed, it was estimated that he was already far away. Then Fang and Li returned to the ground and woke up the low-level disciples on duty: "Hey—wake up."
When the low-ranking disciple woke up rubbing his sleepy eyes, Li Ruyu pointed to close the door, seemingly unintentionally said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, my brother ran away."
Yuling Mountain, Qingjing Pavilion.
Lu Zhuoyang knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing.
Old Man Mingxin waited for him for a while, then stroked his long beard and asked, "Do you remember?"
Lu Zhuoyang didn't look up at him, but just nodded.
The old man Mingxin understood, and asked again: "Have you ever regretted it?"
Lu Zhuoyang replied simply, and quickly shook his head.
"In that case, there must be nothing I want to ask." The old man Mingxin hammered his knees, and like an ordinary old man, he stood up slowly with one hand on the ground, "It's getting late, so go back and rest if you want to .”
He paused, and then said: "There is still business to do tomorrow, so don't delay."
Lu Zhuoyang still lowered his head and did not respond.It wasn't until the old man Mingxin stood at the corner of the stairs and was about to go downstairs that he heard his slightly dull voice: "Teacher...you have your own measure."
"That's good, that's good." Ming Xin muttered to himself, walking down the stairs slowly.
Only Lu Zhuoyang was left in Qingjing Pavilion.
He sat dryly for a while, then raised his hand to his chest, turned his head sideways, and took off the rope hanging around his neck.
The bottom of the rope is decorated with jade pendant Acacia, which is lying in the palm of his hand, trembling slightly.
...it was Jiang Ling.
It happened to be this time.
"When the ends of the earth are poor, there is only endless lovesickness."
The lovesickness continues, and the corners are silent.
I don't know where Jiang Ling is now.
Lu Zhuoyang just stared at Acacia in a daze, as if he had thought a lot, but at the same time he didn't seem to think about anything.
In today's situation, there are still people who miss him, and he must be at peace in his heart, and it is not in vain to "live one time for himself".
But why is my heart so bitter?The sugar is mixed with yellow lotus, and the honey is also mixed with sand.
Acacia trembled for a long time, then suddenly stopped.Lu Zhuoyang was taken aback for a moment, spreading his hands, feeling a little helpless.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the jade pendant was shaken again, as if it could not be supported by both hands.
Jiang Ling.
Lu Zhuoyang's heart moved, and he couldn't hold back his emotions any longer. He put his palm to his face and sobbed silently.
...Sorry, he lied.
Just now when old man Mingxin asked him "Have you ever regretted it", he didn't answer the truth.He has always known that being in it and knowing everything is not necessarily a good thing.It's just that I didn't think through it at the beginning, but now it's too late.
If there is a chance to start all over again, if there is a chance to ask again.He, Lu Zhuoyang, will never make the same choice again.
22 years ago.
On Yuling Mountain, the old master received two letter cranes at the same time.
A piece of cloud: Fulfilling the mission, a mountain town finds a yin and yang body.
Another cloud: A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the far west, the clear springs dried up, the rivers poured backwards, the thick fog rose everywhere, and all the beasts went crazy. Great changes are feared, everyone knows.
That night, the top of Yuling Mountain was full of red lights.
The old headmaster secretly thought that it was not good, so he called all the disciples in the door, and made a solemn statement, saying: "Swear to the death to guard the Locking Demon Well." Then he led the Lingling faction to ride the wind and go west overnight.
The chaos in the Far West lasted for a few days. When the spirit-controlling faction arrived, they could only see desolation everywhere, the forests were completely destroyed, and the people were devastated.This rare earthquake disaster in a century has razed the entire Far West to the ground.
Because there is no one inhabited within a hundred miles, it has little influence on the world, so it has never attracted attention. Only people who escaped from west to east brought back a little bit of gossip for chatting.However, within a few days, the sound disappeared from the streets and alleys.
Afterwards, the situation was calm, until more than a month later, another big news came out from the cultivation world, and the matter was completely covered up - the head of the Lingling Sect retired from Zen and entrusted the sect to the first disciple.And this person is Ming Xin and Xiao Wuwang's senior brother He Qiyou.
Cultivators only think of the spirit-controlling sect as cultivating their minds and nature, being bold and open-minded, but retreating bravely in the midst of a prosperous age, is an outlier in the world of comprehension, but it also makes people have to admire it.
However, cultivators only know one thing and don't know the other.
The old head of the Lingling Sect did not retire, but buried his whole life cultivation base together with the lives of 130 nine disciples in the extreme west.
This devastating earthquake disaster not only turned the Far West upside down, but also shook the foundation of the Demon Locking Well here.
"People in the world only know that the magic lock well can trap all evil spirits in the world, but they don't know who set up the magic lock formation in the first place, and who guarded it for thousands of years. After the earthquake, no one thought of this deep well.
"It's just that other people may not care about it, but my spirit control faction can't stay out of it.
"Guarding the Demon Locking Well is the foundation of my faction, and I have been shouldering this responsibility for thousands of years.
"It's just that over the years, there have been more or less flaws in the magic lock formation, but it has never been damaged so badly." When he first saw the lock magic well after the earthquake, the old master sighed and said to the disciples, "This time, we are afraid that there will be no return."
The land of the extreme west was destroyed, and the magic lock formation was broken.
The old head made a decisive decision and ordered 130 nine disciples to stay awake without rest, set up a temporary formation to trap the evil spirits in the well, and ordered three direct disciples to redraw the formation talisman with flesh and blood.
However, everyone's power is limited after all, if the magic lock formation is restarted, the eye of the formation must be suppressed by the power of Jijing Town, the yin soul and yangming body.
Among the three direct disciples of the old master, Xiao Wuwang has the highest aptitude, or the only one among the three who can rush back and forth and still have enough energy to finish drawing the formation talisman.Therefore, he was ordered to bring back the person whose fate matches the fate.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but at the same time that the magic lock well was broken, the yin and yang body, which had not been seen for a hundred years, appeared in the world.Considering the age, the birth is less than a full moon.
And this person is none other than Lu Zhuoyang.
☆, Nianduan
Five years later.
It was another quiet day in Yuling Mountain, the sky was clear and the air was clear. The young Yuling disciples gathered in the open grass field, lined up neatly, and concentrated on practicing qi.
It was not a bright day to teach, he had nothing to do, so he walked outside the field and turned around.All the disciples looked serious, their attitudes were correct, and they didn't slack off in the slightest.
Taking all the attitudes of the people into his eyes, Ming Xin was still not satisfied, his eyes continued to wander in the line, and after searching carefully, he really found that there was a little Douding missing.He shook his head helplessly, put his hands behind his back, turned and walked towards the courtyard.
He walked straight through the garden, and at last stopped outside a wooden gate.When he was about to knock on the door, he kicked something with his toe. When he looked down, the sign beside the door had fallen off.
Ming Xin bent down, picked up the sign, wiped off the dust on it, and hung the sign back to its original position.
The wooden sign shook twice and stopped, and the three characters "Lu Zhuoyang" in ancient style on it finally settled down.
He listened to the movement in the room, then raised his hand and knocked three times rhythmically.
"Knock knock knock."
No one responded, so Ming Xin knocked three more times and asked, "Is Zhuo Yang here?"
There was a flutter in the room immediately, but it was quiet again soon, and then a buzzing voice muffled in the cotton mattress answered, "Tu'er is not here."
Ming Xin smiled and said: "Why don't you go to the class with the brothers and shut yourself in the room again?"
At this time, Lu Zhuoyang was only five years old, and he hadn't lost his childishness yet. He spoke in a childish voice, but put on a serious face.It seems that he also forgot the etiquette, just threw himself on the bed, raised his head and argued loudly: "The master master said that my soul is unstable and my seven stars are unstable, so I can't study the law with my brothers!"
"Oh... the master master really told you that?"
Lu Zhuoyang turned his lips away, twitched a bit, and finally replied truthfully: "The master master said...the big guys should let me more. But they can't beat me, so I don't need them to let me!"
"Uncle Master is also doing it for your own good... Forget it, how about practicing with you as a teacher? I will definitely not let you."
After hesitating for a while in the room, he said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Ming Xin said, "But you can't be so puffed up that you don't see people and don't attend class, remember?"
The room was quiet for a while, and after a while, the little milkman grabbed the edge of the bed, kicked his calves, and moved out of the bed.
Ming Xin waited patiently. There was a sound of head bumping against the table and chairs in the room, and then the door creaked open. A small head poked out from the inside and smiled sweetly at him: "Teacher, remember gone."
Ming Xin beckoned: "Come out." The little Lu Zhuoyang was even happier when he heard that, he opened a pair of small fleshy hands, stepped forward with short legs, and threw himself into Ming Xin's arms.
"Hey, it's so heavy again." Ming Xin bent down and picked him up, patted his little butt, hugged him tightly, and walked slowly in the yard.Lin Li asked: "Nanny is young, but she knows how to be strong and competitive.... I ask you as a teacher, do you still remember what I taught you the day before yesterday?"
"Tuer remembers." Little Lu Zhuoyang hugged Mingxin's neck with a pair of small fleshy hands, and nodded seriously, "Tuer is locked with a monster, so you can't tell others, even Senior Brother Tianyue; if you feel unwell, hurry up Looking for master and uncle, I can't bear it by myself;" he said, his voice became weaker and his head drooped, "the soul is not complete, so I can't learn advanced magic skills..."
Ming Xin squeezed his chubby face, and said: "Zhuo Yang is so good. Many people will die poorly and never learn advanced spells. If they are too persistent, they can't ask for another one. Skills are one thing, not flashy. , as long as you can protect yourself. This is also the purpose of my school of controlling spirits, and you will understand when you are older. Don’t be unhappy now... How about I secretly teach you the art of seducing mind as a teacher?"
"Okay!" You can learn ahead of others, little Lu Zhuoyang's ears immediately pricked up, and he became more energetic, and he was so happy that he raised his fingers and counted one by one, "I still need to learn the art of controlling the sword! Lingxi step Dharma! You also need to learn the technique of smell consciousness!"
"Little baby is really greedy." Ming Xin laughed loudly, "It's all up to you. But as a teacher, I will give you a small recipe, and you can't tell others."
"Good~"
……
The old and the young laughed heartily without any grievances as if it was just yesterday, and even the complacent mood because of the master's preference can still be vaguely remembered.
However, Lu Zhuoyang understood very well. At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know the true meaning of what the old man Mingxin said.
As I grow older, I understand the right and wrong, and the righteousness of the common people, and then I gradually understand what I am carrying.
After the Demon Locking Well was destroyed, all 130 nine disciples of the Yuling School who had tied their hair, set up temporary formations to lock the demons without sleep, and finally died of exhaustion;
The old master and Suo Mojing Town's Wuling Nail did not agree with each other. In order to delay the temporary formation to Xiao Wuwang, he brought back the Yin Soul and Yangming Body, suppressed the formation with his body, destroyed all his cultivation, and left alone before he died. Yuling Mountain;
Xiao Wuwang ran wildly with his sword for several days and nights, but in the end he failed to save the old master. He was so angry that he used his own flesh and blood to draw the magic-locking formation rune, and finally went mad and was caught by the rune.
