Chapter 197 Your recent yang energy...
With the end of this conversation, life on Lotus Peak seems to be on the right track.
In the morning, Fairy Wangshu led You Su and Ji Lingruo to familiarize themselves with the Liansheng sword technique.
Ji Lingruo took what He Shutong said to heart. She deliberately made mistakes in her movements and counted on You Sulai to correct her personally.
Xianzi Wangshu is very serious when it comes to teaching swordsmanship. She often goes into battle in person and teaches Ji Lingruo step by step, which makes Ji Lingruo roll her eyes. As a result, when You Su asked his teacher's sister for poetry, Ji Lingruo would often hinder him as if to retaliate.
When it's meal time, You Su cooks and Ji Lingruo helps, or they go to Guyueju to eat together. It is worth mentioning that the third elder came again during the period, and he came just in time for a meal, and again reluctantly squeezed out of You Su's seat. She said she was here to see Xiao Lingruo, but Fairy Wangshu knew that she was just here to have a meal.
In the afternoon, you can usually practice freely, meditate, practice swordsmanship, or read cultivation classics such as the Sword Classic, and you can even sign up for lectures given by some elders. But Ji Lingruo would go to the Liansheng Pond in the back mountain on time and perfect the art of the Yang Sword under the personal instruction of He Shutong.
The engineer from Tumu Peak came again. He couldn't get up to Lotus Peak, so he waited at the foot of the mountain for a long time. He expressed his appreciation for You Su's design. They had already made a preliminary model, but it was a pity that they still needed to continue their research if they really wanted to put it into practice on such a high mountain.
In the evening, You Su and Ji Lingruo went to Liansheng Pond together. During He Shutong's explanation, the two also gained a deeper understanding of evil spirits. He Shutong felt the warmth in the pool and shared with them all she knew about the evil spirits. Therefore, I often teach until very late.
This made it so that every time the two of them returned to the courtyard after finishing their studies, the night was already as dark as ink. This horrifying knowledge made Ji Lingruo lose all thoughts and was immersed in horror and shock. She could only helplessly watch You Su return to his room.
Another factor that prevented her from sneaking into her senior brother's room quietly was the gatekeeper-like Fairy Wangshu, which made Ji Lingruo miss the Yuanyang Sword Sect where she and her senior brother were the only ones.
What is even more difficult to accept is that You Su seems to have no intention at all in this regard, and seems to have no idea of going further with her. She simply didn't bother to use her brain anymore, and just waited for the blind man who was troubled by Yang Qi to come to her.
After practicing like this for more than half a month, time has come to November in a blink of an eye. Late autumn has passed, and the winter in the mountains feels colder than down below. Ji Lingruo continued to stabilize her skyrocketing cultivation level, and You Su also surprisingly reached the threshold of perfection in the Lingtai Middle Realm.
But Yousu's ordinary life seemed destined not to last long. The leader visited Lotus Peak with what he called an 'opportunity'.
The chief elder is still as amiable and normal as ever, without any airs of being the second person in a top sect.
"Hello, sir."
You Su and Ji Lingruo saluted respectfully, and Fairy Wangshu also nodded to indicate.
“This is the new disciple accepted by the Thirteenth Elder, Ji Lingruo, the second lady of the Snake Clan, right?”
The elder handed over a gentle smile. When the girl saw this, she only believed in legends The soles of the feet of the heavenly master who had heard of it trembled unconsciously.
“On behalf of the Snake Clan, I would like to say hello to Lord Tianshu.”
The leader stroked his beard and smiled and said:
"Okay, our Xuanxiao Sect has not had any demon disciples for many years, and you are carrying a great significance. You came here to practice Taoism alone. If there is anything you don't like, you can do it. When you come to Tianshu Peak, you can't say that I, the Xuanxiao Sect, have treated my fellow Taoist clan members badly."
"Thank you, Elder." Ji Lingruo still looked very reserved.
"Well, you and Wang Shu should leave first. I'm looking for You Su. I have something to talk about."
"Yes."
Ji Lingruo He excused himself honestly and looked at You Su's back with worry in his eyes. Of course, You Su didn't hide the matter of the Son of God from her.
In the small courtyard, only the young man in black robe and the immortal man in white robe were left.
"Your opportunity has come." The leader looked serious.
“So fast?”
“What?” The elder looked at You Su deeply, as if he wanted to see through all the changes in the boy in the past half month, “I’m scared now ? Or are you worried that you are not strong enough? Do you want me to tell them to turn down this opportunity and let you grow up for a while? "
You Su pursed his lips and said: "I just think it's too sudden."
"There is nothing in this world that you can be prepared to face again." The leader said meaningfully, " The stronger you are, the harder the task will be. If you face it earlier, it may be easier."
"What exactly do you need me to do?"
"Wipe your senior sister's butt."
? ? ?
“Huh?”
You Su didn’t react for a while, his expression was a little stiff. If he hadn't known that his senior sister had already reached the Feather Stage, he would have almost thought it was literal.
“Do you think wiping Senior Sister You’s butt is inappropriate for your status?”
“No, no.”
“There have been signs of evil spirits causing chaos in Moye City recently. Moye City It is not far from Henggao City and is a relatively prosperous city. Unexpectedly, it was also infiltrated by the evil spirit. There are monks from the Feather Realm in Moxie City, but the evil spirit is very good at hiding it, and the local monks can't do anything about it. "< br>
The elder said eloquently, "So the Evil Control Department decided to ask you to go and kill this evil, to prove that your eyes can indeed see things you shouldn't see. As for the evil spirit's strength, it is probably just a piece of water. If you are really born to kill evil, you should be able to face it independently."
"Then why are you talking about wiping senior sister's butt?" You Su asked in confusion.
"The last time your senior sister left, she went to Moxie City to eliminate evil spirits. The process of eliminating evil spirits went very smoothly at that time. I thought it was no big deal, but I didn't expect that the evil spirits were not eliminated at all. At that time, there were monks in the city who requested Your senior sister stayed a little longer to be prepared, but she didn't agree and came back in a hurry. Although this evil spirit was not strong, it still cost a life. This made your senior sister and the evil exorcist department famous in Moye City. You have caused a certain amount of damage, so you must not only successfully kill this evil, but also leave the credit to your senior sister. Do you understand?”
You Su doesn’t mind giving the credit to your senior sister. After all, it was originally agreed that he was the Ya Shenzi hiding in the dark side. And the reason why senior sister is eager to return to the sect is probably because of him...
The responsibility of 'wiping senior sister's butt' should naturally fall on him, and he is bound to do so.
"I understand. Chief, what information does the evil spirit have?"
"A flesh-and-blood creature that can possess the human body. It has a long body and is red in color. It is very good at escaping and hiding. Appeared in Moxie City The purpose and reason are still under investigation. At present, one life has been confirmed to be related to it. In addition, when you arrive in Moye City, the secret agents of the Evil Exorcism Department will explain it to you. "
The elder will tell you slowly. , then handed You Su three jade beads and said: "In order to show your ability, you need to investigate independently as much as possible without relying on the power of local monks. Of course, if you encounter an unsolvable problem, you have three opportunities to ask for help. Crush one, and someone will come to help you. This is also directly related to the degree of approval of the evil prevention department for your assessment."
You Su took these three cold jade beads and collected them. In the palm of your hand. Even if he is the most likely candidate for Ye Shenzi, facing this mysterious organization that is entrenched in the sky higher than Xuanxiao Sect, all he can feel in the Exorcist Division is arrogance.
His eyebrows suddenly became cold and stern, and he asked the highest-level leader of the Evil Exorcism Department a very disrespectful question:
"The Evil Exorcism Department shouldn't be unable to find that evil spirit, but it insists on leaving it to me. For an assessment. The evil spirit is still in danger of killing people in Moye City. How can the Evil Exorcist Department just sit back and watch?"
The elder was slightly startled when he heard this and looked at the young man with firm eyebrows. Even he didn't go deep into it. Have thought about this issue.
"The death of one or two people is nothing to them. There is essentially no difference between killing an evil spirit that has eaten one person and an evil spirit that has eaten three people. In order to verify For a son of God who can kill the three evil gods, it is worthwhile to ignore a few lives. If you don't want to see innocent people continue to lose their lives, all you can do is complete this task faster."
The elder. Try to be as soft-spoken as possible. How many people join the Evil Exorcism Department because they are passionate about killing evil and protecting all sentient beings. But as time goes by and the realm improves, people's blood will become cold.
"But if someone dies during this period, is that my responsibility or the responsibility of the Evil Control Department?"
You Su himself has personally experienced the desperate feeling of being threatened by evil spirits. , At that time, he wished that someone from the Evil Exorcism Department would come to save him. But the Evil Control Department now clearly knew about it but did nothing, which made him feel like he was stuck in his throat.
The elder looked at You Su in surprise, his white eyebrows lightly knitted together, and even the withered wrinkles on his face became more obvious.
"You Su...your enlightenment has proven your destiny."
"Please, the leader, please help me clear up my doubts." You Su bowed his head and sincerely asked for advice.
"It is true that the purpose of the Evil Exorcist Department is to kill evil spirits, but no one can stipulate that this is the obligation of the Evil Exorcist Department. The Evil Exorcist Department can completely let the evil spirits go and take care of itself. But the Evil Exorcist Department did not do this. It can be passed down for thousands of years. Countless monks have died during the battle against evil spirits, and they have been killing evil spirits for the people for free, relying only on the sense of responsibility of the people in the evil prevention department, but you cannot ask that this sense of responsibility spread to everyone, because we do not have the destiny to kill evil spirits. , can you understand?”
You Su responded in silence, even though he did not agree with the elder’s point of view. In his view, power and responsibility are in a symbiotic relationship, and there is never only one or the other.
The elder sighed lowly. He moved his eyes away and looked at the sea of clouds rolling down the hillside:
"There was a view in ancient books that immortals are not people given by heaven. Xuan Qi is the god of heaven and earth. People steal Xuanqi and become immortals, so immortals are thieves and bandits. Although this is too ugly, it tells a truth-the Evil Exorcism Department is not an official organization. , when it was established, it was just a group of like-minded people, so you can’t blame every person who died due to evil spirits on the Evil Exorcism Department.”
“So what the leader meant. Said, if someone in Moye City dies at the hands of this evil man, is it my responsibility?"
You Su looked directly at the elder, even though he couldn't see anything.
"That depends on whether you recognize your destiny."
The elder responded to You Su's gaze calmly.
“But this destiny was placed on me by you.”
“But you have no choice.” The leader put his hands behind his back, “If you don’t want this to happen again, just sit down. Take this position and let the entire Evil Exorcism Department assist you.”
You Su suddenly opened his palms, and three jade beads glowed with milky white light.
The elder's eyes flashed, as if he had seen through what You Su was thinking, but he did not continue to persuade You Su, because this was the indifference that every person in a high position should have, and he hoped that You Su could Recognize this early on.
"Well, instead of worrying about this, it is better to pull out that evil spirit from the crowd as soon as possible. After you leave Xuanxiao Sect, someone will send you to Moxie City. She will only wait until tomorrow's time. I guess you give up."
The elder patted You Su on the shoulder, and before leaving he gave his final instructions:
"If someone must be the Son of God, I hope that person will. It's you. Because you are more like a human being than a fairy."
...
The water mist is filled with colorful light surrounding this flawless and beautiful figure.
He Shutong frowned slightly and looked at the young man on the other side of the mist with worry.
She could see that You Su was in a very low mood now.
After You Su said goodbye to the elder, he came in as scheduled and informed He Shutong of the assessment situation. He also hoped that this gentle master wife could help him answer his confusion.
"Master's wife...those people have nothing to do with me, but I worry about their life and death, and even disrespect the leader because of it. Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
You Su's eyelids drooped, He Shutong's expression was gloomy, which made He Shutong feel heartbroken. He only regretted that he was powerless and failed to protect this young man.
“Why is this ridiculous?”
He Shutong will never bear this young man to think of her like this. Even if everyone thinks that You Su is moaning for nothing, she will never do this. Panxiang:
"The last words of the leader are an affirmation of your thoughts. Don't belittle yourself. I can imagine that if anyone were in your position, they would also You only think about how to pass the assessment smoothly, and don't think about the problem of someone dying at the hands of Xie Sui during the assessment. And this is what makes you different."
You Su was stunned. He raised his head, and there seemed to be light in his dark eyes.
"That's why he said that your enlightenment has already proved your destiny. Only those who truly shoulder the mission of killing evil spirits will feel guilty for failing to save them from evil spirits. What's more, This has not happened yet. You haven’t become the Son of God yet, but you already regard yourself as the Son of God.”
“I, I really...”
“Don’t doubt yourself, just be yourself. That’s fine. You’re not going to kill evil to become the Son of God, you’re going to kill evil to save those who don’t deserve to die at the hands of Xie Sui, so you are the most suitable person to become the Son of God, do you understand?” br>He Shutong smiled gracefully, trying to cheer up You Su, like a kind mother guiding a young and confused child.
He Shutong's encouragement also allowed You Su to finally sort out the mess in his heart. He didn't have to worry about whether this was the responsibility of the Evil Control Department or his. If he didn't want innocent people to die, then he would save them.
“I understand, thank you, Master!”
After You Su’s thoughts became clear, his whole person became energetic.
He Shutong smiled happily when he saw this, but suddenly he became sad again. She had asked Ji Lingruo insinuatingly for so many days, but they still had not practiced double cultivation.
Have they not been able to get over their bad feelings yet?
But Yousu is about to face a powerful enemy, how can he use his sick body...
"Has your recent yang energy...dissolved?"
