Chapter 245 Apprenticeship = dependent? (4.9k)
In the cave, fire flickered.
You Su and He Kongyue were stunned on the spot, Huo Yuandi's roar continued to echo in the cave.
A sudden explosion attracted the attention of the three people.
It turned out that the fire built by You Su collapsed, sparks crackled into the sky, and then died out in an instant.
He Kongyue's eyebrows suddenly became stern. He kicked Huo Yuandi on the shoulder and rolled him twice.
“Speak clearly!”
Huo Yuandi huddled together in pain and sobbed to relieve himself. He raised his head and glared at the noble young master of the He family, his eyes full of resentment.
“Can’t you hear him?”
You Su also asked fiercely, extinguishing whatever strength Huo Yuandi had managed to ignite.
"Yes, yes..."
Huo Yuandi agreed quickly, and after the fuss, he calmed down.
He was not a fool. The person who rescued him was as handsome as the young master of the He family. Although he was unfamiliar, he could guess that this person was the fierce and strong man who defeated him.
“My benefactor forced me to the cliff that day. I had no choice but to jump off the cliff. I had the last bit of strength left, and Yu Qi buffered me so I didn’t fall to death, but I accidentally climbed into a cave. In that cave, I saw a fairy sword that I had dreamed of, and then I realized that by some mistake, I had entered the cave of Master Cheng Ying in advance. "
Huo Yuandi actually only regained some strength, but in order to To prove his worth to Yusu, he still tried his best to force himself to speak more.
“Continue.” You Su ordered coldly.
"I tried my best to touch the fairy sword. Just when I thought I was about to make a comeback...a skeleton stepped on my foot."
"That was Chengying Zun. Who?" He Kongyue asked.
"That's right. She didn't have any flesh and blood on her body, only white bones with dark patterns on them. I was so scared at the time, but she told me that if I want to live, I should worship her as my teacher. . She will let her best disciple inherit the Shadow Sword."
Huo Yuandi made a helpless expression, "I have no choice but to agree. After the ceremony, Master Chengying suddenly changed his mind and said that I was not worthy of being her disciple. Not only that, I felt that all the strength in my body was beginning to be stripped away. Then I watched... the growth on the white bones. Out of flesh and blood! It’s like..."
"What does it look like?" He Kongyue asked with eyebrows raised.
"It's like the flesh from my body has grown on her body..."
Huo Yuandi's voice trembled slightly, and he still had lingering fears at this moment:
"Just When I was about to die, the restrictions of the tomb began to collapse. She had no time to care about me and said, "The sect will be revived today." Then she took my sword and flew out. How could I dare to stay there any longer. ...He crawled out desperately, falling unconscious several times in the process, and finally saw his benefactor!"
This fierce swordsman wanted to cry bitterly at this time to express his gratitude to You Su.
“You mean...this can lead to the tomb of Master Chengying?”
You Su has not forgotten the task of investigating the mystery of Master Chengying’s great change in temperament.
Huo Yuandi stretched out his fingers tremblingly and pointed behind him.
"It should be in this direction... I crawled here in the dark all the way, and I don't know if I went astray."
You Su ignored him, but fell into deep thought, and asked after a moment Road:
"She took your sword and went out. Where is the Immortal Sword of Shadow?"
"Of course it's still in the cave."
Huo Yuandi knew that You Su would ask this, so he hurriedly He volunteered, "I can take my benefactor with me! My benefactor is handsome and has extraordinary swordsmanship. This fairy sword is tailor-made for you! As long as my benefactor takes me away, my benefactor will be my reborn parent in the future! You Tell me to go east, but I will never dare to go west!"
You Su just looked at him indifferently, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.
“You want You Su to get the sword because you want You Su to die at the hands of Lord Chengying like you, right?” He Kongyue snorted coldly.
"No, no! I don't dare! That Venerable Chengying is suffering from hysteria and only wants to recruit disciples. She must have gone out to find disciples! We just happened to take advantage of the opportunity and seize the fairy sword. Wouldn’t it be nice to just run away!”
Huo Yuandi crawled on the ground a few times, eager to get to You Su’s feet.
You Su had already taken steps, bypassed him and walked behind Huo Yuandi.
"Brother He, let's go."
You Su said as he took out the Wind Weasel Formation Plate. As long as this road is open, with this treasure, he doesn't need Huo Yuandi's help at all.
He Kongyue glanced at the shocked Huo Yuandi and followed You Su's footsteps.
"My benefactor! My benefactor! I am willing to atone for my sins! I have done wrong things, but I already know my mistakes! Take me with you, my benefactor!"
Huo Yuandi has only one He still had one hand left, and even if he regained some strength, there was no way he could keep up with the walking speed of the two of them.
He could only keep pleading, hoping that the young man would change his mind. His hoarse voice kept echoing in the cave, which was very sad.
"Brother You, this person is very talented. If he becomes your subordinate, he can be a big help. Are you really going to... just let him go?"
He Kong Yue held up the luminous pearl and asked You Su softly.
You Su shook his head:
"It is not a pity to die for such a person, and he is not worthy of being used by me. He knew that the bones were stained with evil, and the so-called apprenticeship was nonsense, but he still He sacrificed himself to survive. It was his fault that he fell into this situation."
He Kongyue nodded with a look of approval in his eyes.
What he said was just to test You Su. Huo Yuandi has done many evil things. As long as You Su works hard, there will be no shortage of such a thug who is in a low-level state. Why should he taint himself for a small profit?
As You Su finished speaking, Huo Yuandi, who had lost sight of his body, suddenly felt someone strangled his neck, making him unable to say a word and could only whimper and make struggling sounds.
What swept through his body was an emotion called despair. Why did fate play such a trick on him? Every time he thought he could come back to life, his hopes were shattered and he fell deeper into the abyss.
At the last moment before his life passed away, his eyes widened in disbelief, and one of them had fallen off.
Until he died, he couldn't figure out why he was holding his throat and refusing to let go...
Could it be his own right hand?
At this time, You Su had a thought in his mind. In the picture formed by the golden polyps, the portrait of Huo Yuandi under the family column gradually disappeared, and changed back to Ji Xueruo and Ji Lingruo. Two equally outstanding faces echo each other.
You Su looked at them and finally felt that they were more pleasing to the eye...
Who would have thought that a blind man would one day judge people by their appearance...
...
Huo Yuandi did not lie, or in other words, after becoming You Su's dependent, he could not lie to You Su.
The two walked for a long time and finally found the tomb Huo Yuandi mentioned.
"It seems that he really wants to live..."
He Kongyue sighed softly. He recalled the distance the two of them had walked, and couldn't imagine what Huo Yuandi used to do it. The will dragged that body to crawl so far.
"Those weak monks who died in his hands also thought so." You Su said lightly.
He Kongyue also said casually that the death of such a person was not worthy of their pity. He quickly focused on observing the tomb in front of him:
“It’s hard to imagine that this will happen. It’s a tomb.”
With the illumination of the night pearl, the surrounding environment is clearly visible.
The surrounding stone walls are carved with exquisite edges and corners. If you look closely, you can actually find that they are connected to each other, forming a room-like pattern. Because You Su couldn't see, he had been using his spiritual consciousness to outline the space he walked through. The shape of the tomb of the venerable began to take shape in his mind, which was huge and highly three-dimensional.
“It is better to say it is a palace than a tomb.”
He Kongyue gave an even more astonishing evaluation:
“No, it is more like a sect built in the mountain. Starting from our first waterfall, everything is traced by man-made sculptures. . The whole journey was actually going up slowly, and it was only by going downhill that Huo Yuandi had the strength to climb so far."
As he said this, he touched the stone wall with his hand. Texture on:
“We didn’t look carefully at many places. If we did, we would definitely find that there would be the same carvings as here, with these wooden bricks. They are like other places in the sect. "Zongmen? You mean that Venerable Chengying dug into a mountain. Out of a sect? "
You Su looked around, but his eyes could see evil spirits but could not see anything. Could it be that if you want to investigate something, you can only start with Master Chengying himself?
"'The sect is reviving today.' Venerable Chengying wants to recruit disciples so much. His long-cherished wish before his death is probably to restore the glory of Chengying Sect." He Kongyue sighed leisurely. .
“Reproduce the glory of Chengying Sect? Is Chengying Sect gone?!”
You Su then remembered a key question. As a member of Chengying Sect, Lord Chengying , even if he is dead, the opportunity in this tomb should return to Chengying Sect. There is no way that monks from Wuzhou can be allowed to come here to hunt for treasures.
"No one told Brother You?" He Kongyue was also a little surprised.
You Su shook his head: "The person who mentioned this to me didn't say anything about Chengying Sect."
"It's no wonder, people from Xuanxiao Sect don't care about this kind of thing. How can you talk nonsense?"
He Kongyue showed an expression of sudden realization and continued:
"In those days, Venerable Chengying single-handedly transformed the Chengying Sect from a second-rate sect. She took the sect to the Holy Mountain, but because she had been killing evil spirits at the border all year round, she had no time to manage the sect, and a sect would not become a genius just because of one genius, so even if the Chengying Sect went to the Holy Mountain. , did not get any better, but because of the many rules of the Holy Mountain, it became more and more difficult.
But the Chengying Sect did not want to insult the name of Master Chengying, and they continued to support him. The sect was ordered to go to sea to investigate the source of the evil spirits. Finally, Chengying Sect could not withstand the pressure from the outside world, and was won by other sects to occupy the position of the sacred mountain. They returned to the old site of Chengying Sect, but they also attracted the attention of Chengying Venerable's enemies. By the time Master Chengying returned from overseas, the Chengying Sect had been destroyed, and the enemy had been defeated by the combined efforts of the Shenshan sects."
After hearing this, You Su finally understood why the leader was gone. Tell him about it.
Venerable Chengying is out there eliminating harm for the people, but he cannot even save his own home. The rules in the sacred mountain are very strict, which is really chilling. Even if the status of Chengying Sect was to be demoted, it should at least wait until Venerable Chengying came back. However, none of the sects in Shenshan at that time retained Chengying Sect.
How much responsibility does Shenshan have for the tragedy that befell Chengying Sect? How much of the revenge for the Chengying Sect was out of guilt?
There is nothing wrong with following the rules, but it really lacks a bit of human touch.
"Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will go crazy if not crazy."
You Su lamented that if he were the Venerable Chengying and came back to find that not only his family was gone, but even his enemies were gone, he would have to How desperate. Should I vent my hatred and misery to the sacred mountain?
No wonder she ended up without a cure...
"Let's go in and have a look first."
With that said, He Kongyue took the lead in entering the cave.
The first thing that catches the eye is the sword inserted in a jade tablet.
The jade exudes a dark green light, and this sword with a simple shape and elegant temperament has been inserted in the jade for an unknown number of years, but it is still as bright and clean as new, with a smell like cutting jade and breaking gold. of sharpness.
"This is the Chengying Sword that Huo Yuandi said..."
He Kongyue stared blankly at this fairy sword that had been passed down for thousands of years. Even if he didn't practice swordsmanship, he could still feel it. See how extraordinary this sword is.
The reason why these immortal soldiers can be called "immortal" is because whether they are formed innately or acquired, they all have the earth-shattering ability to change the color of mountains and rivers.
Yousu is a sword lover and a master of swordsmanship.
A good sword cultivator and a good sword will cherish each other and can naturally feel each other's 'emotions'.
The Mo Song Sword is not yet at the level of a fairy sword, but it is spiritual enough. When You Su is excited, it trembles in response to his fighting spirit.
Mo Song Sword is like this, and Cheng Ying Sword is even more like this. It is just inserted there, no contact is needed at all, and You Su can also feel the eagerness coming from it.
It's like an old maid who has been sleeping for a thousand years finally sees a handsome young man who suits her needs...
Although this metaphor is very indecent, You Su has to admit that this sword This is how hungry and thirsty you feel...
You Su suddenly felt a vibration in his waist. It was the Mo Song Sword that was constantly trembling. However, it was not the mortal soldier who was afraid of the fairy sword, but... provocation. ?
You Su pressed the hilt of the sword, trying to appease Mo Songjian.
"Master Chengying is not here, why don't you, brother, try to take out this sword?"
You Su was not in a hurry: "No, no one knows how to pull out the sword. Whatever happens, if Master Chengying is brought back, we will not be able to escape.”
He Kongyue naturally understands this truth. Lord Chengying is no longer a human being, but an evil spirit that can create dependents!
“According to the guidance of the Wind Weasel Formation, the only exit of this tomb is to the north. Brother He, this matter is beyond our control. No one can think that Venerable Chengying is not dead. We If you want to survive, you must contact the outside world and invite reinforcements!"
He Kongyue also looked solemn: "I have tried it before, but I can't contact the outside world through various communication methods. I'm afraid this place has been captured. The Venerable has cast other forbidden spells.”
“The Xuanji Order doesn’t work?”
He Kongyue was stunned for a moment, with a look of nervousness on his face, and then shook his head. Said:
"I am afraid that this forbidden curse was set just now, and we can still contact the outside world when we are at the waterfall. Lord Gray can't contact us, so he will definitely notice the clues and send reinforcements."
“This is the tomb of Venerable Chengying. Outside monks should have discovered it a long time ago, but until now no one has come in to look for opportunities... Could it be that they are all blocked by Venerable Chengying?”
You Su was a little nervous, the situation was far more serious than he imagined.
He suddenly remembered that the evil girl Cailing stole his jade beads...
Crushing the jade beads can summon the elder. The elder has great power, and the magic weapon he gave should be able to do it. Ignore the forbidden spell cast by Master Cheng Ying.
Could it be that when the evil woman stole the jade beads, she also calculated that he would fall into this desperate situation?
But what is her purpose? If she really wanted to die, how many opportunities would she have to do it? Why do you just have to force him into a desperate situation?
He Kongyue's words interrupted You Su's contemplation:
"I'm afraid it's very possible, judging from Venerable Chengying's attitude towards Huo Yuandi, she should want others to He worshiped her as his disciple and revived the Chengying Sect, but in fact, he made others become her dependents. "
It is obviously impossible to go back against the current. The gap in the mountains over there has probably been filled.
“There is no other way but to get out from here first.” He Kongyue took a deep breath, “Even if Master Chengying is waiting outside the cave, we must let this only hope out! "
Seemingly worried that he would make You Su scared by making the situation too pessimistic, He Kongyue comforted him:
"There are many people with outstanding status who come to Lingxu Mountains to seek opportunities. Or, maybe they have contacted support a long time ago, and they can go out and take a look to confirm the situation."
You Su was startled: "Brother He, maybe we haven't thought about returning the way we came. You can escape by hiding in the waterfall..."
He Kongyue looked at You Su in surprise when he heard this, and then said solemnly:
"It is my heart's wish to eliminate evil and save the world. Although this Venerable Chengying is evil, he is also evil, and I will not sit idly by. If Brother You is concerned, I can escort you back first."
Now that the words have been spoken, how could You Su shrink back? He was also moved by He Kongyue's enthusiasm and admired this friend even more.
As an ordinary monk, He Kongyue still has such awareness, but he is not only God, but also the son of God of the Evil Exorcism Department. How can he be wise and protect himself?
You Su did not speak, but gave his answer with actions.
He had already grasped the hilt of the sword and walked into the dark corridor.
He Kongyue’s lips curled up slightly and he quickly followed.
But before the two of them took a few steps, they suddenly felt a huge pressure coming on them, making it difficult for them to move forward.
A pair of cold hands suddenly pressed on the shoulders of the two of them:
“I didn’t expect that there are two good seedlings here... You guys are also here to participate in the promotion of our Chengying Sect. Is it from the Fairy Assembly?”
