Chapter 316 Master and apprentice break up!
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Ran Qingchen’s pretty face was covered with frost.
In her heart, Shang Zhiyu is the person she is closest to in the world besides her grandmother. How could he be a monster?
Yelu Miaomiao was not a fool. Seeing Ran Qingchen's reaction, she immediately understood something.
The girl stared at her with a look of pity:
"It's so pitiful that I don't even know who my master is. Before, I cooperated with your master to go to the forbidden area of Wanxiang Divine Gate to seize treasures. Your master She ate a monster egg and turned into a monster.
Did you see the corpses of the relatives? Those people were killed by your master, so I hunted her down. Do you think I’m full?”
“You’re talking nonsense…”
Ran Qingchen shook his head, unwilling to believe it.
But remembering the words of Wang Luoyan, the leader of Wanxiang Shenmen just now, she had to doubt again.
A woman’s heart is in turmoil.
She slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, feeling that her heart was blocked with qi.
Yelü Miaomiao said lightly: "From what Wang Luoyan said, it seems that your master has another purpose in carefully training you. I kindly advise you to stay away from her as soon as possible."
Ran Qingchen raised his eyebrows and was about to refute, but moved his pink lips and finally said nothing.
After many years of relationship, she still refused to believe that her master had another face hidden.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the dark depths.
Listening to the voice, it seems to belong to Shang Zhiyu.
Master!
Ran Qingchen was startled and subconsciously wanted to look for it, but he was afraid that Yelu Miaomiao would suddenly make a move, so he remained stagnant in place.
Yelu Miaomiao understood the other party's concerns, took out a vermilion pill and drank it, smiling: "Don't worry, I won't make a sneak attack. You can go ahead, I want to heal here."
Ran. Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then turned around to look for it.
"Let me remind you again, if you don't want to die, be careful about your master."
Yelu Miaomiao suddenly said.
Ran Qingchen paused, turned to look at the girl who was starting to cross her legs to heal her injuries, and walked away.
Yelu Miaomiao muttered in a low voice: "What a fool."
......
Ran Qingchen passed through several narrow rock gaps and soon found himself in a relatively spacious underground dark place. Shang Zhiyu was found in the cave.
The woman clutched her abdomen and leaned against the stone wall in pain, blood continuously spilling from her fingers.
Sensing the presence of someone, Shang Zhiyu picked up his sword skills and prepared to attack. However, when he saw that it was his apprentice, the woman's nervous expression immediately relaxed.
"Qingchen, are you okay?"
The woman asked with concern.
Ran Qingchen shook his head, looked around and found no enemies, and stepped forward to check the woman's injuries.
Shang Zhiyu’s abdomen was pierced by a thin sharp stone, causing blood to drip from his body.
"Who hurt you?" Ran Qingchen asked.
Shang Zhiyu pointed to a moss-covered stone wall on the right and said with a wry smile: "I wanted to find a way out, but it turned out there was a mechanism buried there, so I couldn't escape. This is no one's luck."
Mechanism ?
Ran Qingchen couldn't help but feel frightened.
Unexpectedly, there is a secret passage hidden underneath.
Ran Qingchen didn't have time to think too much. He used his power to simply help Shang Zhiyu stop the bleeding and heal his injuries. He found some external medicine and carefully sprinkled it on the wound, then pulled off a skirt bag and bandaged it.
Shang Zhiyu stared at his apprentice with a complicated expression, and laughed at himself: "The master is better than the master. Master, I am getting old after all." Even her master was shocked.
She knew very well how talented her disciple Gen Gu was, but his progress was so rapid that she couldn't help but think of that woman...the daughter of a genius in swordsmanship.
The mother and daughter seemed to be carved from the same mold.
A gloomy look appeared in Shang Zhiyu’s eyes.
Is Ran Qingchen's growth so rapid because of the sword heart Jiang Wan left in her body?
That sword heart condensed Jiang Wan’s lifelong swordsmanship.
If I could get it...
Shang Zhiyu clenched his fists unconsciously.
When she recovers her cultivation and completely refines this half-demon, half-human body into a Tao body, this sword heart will be the real key to help her ascend to the throne of swordsmanship.
"Master, you are still so young and beautiful, why are you so old?"
Ran Qingchen said with a smile.
Shang Zhiyu put away the gloom in his eyes, stroked his apprentice's hair, and said with a smile: "My little girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. I have never seen you so flattering as my master before. "
The woman asked: "By the way, have you seen that monster?"
Ran Qingchen was about to nod, but he shook his head inexplicably and said: "No. When I saw the monster, I heard Master’s voice and looked for it.”
As she spoke, the woman lowered her head and continued to bandage the wound.
Thinking of Yelu Miaomiao's words just now, Ran Qingchen's mood was hard to calm down, like a heavy stone weighing on his chest, which was unbearable.
Shang Zhiyu stared at his apprentice's face, as if he wanted to see something.
After all, being a master and apprentice for many years, there is nothing better than a master who knows his disciple.
Whether the apprentice has something on his mind can be seen at a glance.
After a moment, she warned softly: "That monster is extremely cunning and will deliberately provoke us. You have to be careful. She may even beat us up and say we are monsters."
"Well, my disciple knows."
Perhaps realizing that his expression made the other party suspicious, Ran Qingchen raised his dimple and said with a smile: "Didn't that monster just call his disciple a little temptress?"< br>
The corners of Shang Zhiyu’s lips are slightly hooked.
After bandaging the wound, Ran Qingchen stood up and looked at the mechanism stone wall mentioned by Shang Zhiyu, and asked curiously: "Master, what do you think is hidden behind this?"
Shang Zhiyu shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe it's some kind of treasure, maybe it's an exit."
Ran Qingchen swung his sword towards the stone wall.
With a muffled "bang" sound, the stone wall shattered and opened.
A wave of heat followed.
Shang Zhiyu raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed it back.
She stared at the sword in Ran Qingchen's hand, with some scruples in her eyes, and said secretly: "This girl is obviously injured, but she can still display such powerful swordsmanship. It's really amazing."
Ran Qingchen Seeing that there were no more mechanisms around, he walked towards the stone wall.
Through the faint light, Ran Qingchen looked intently and was shocked to find that there was actually a magma pool inside.
The magma is fiery red and churning.
Shang Zhiyu walked over with his belly covered, looking at the scene in front of him in surprise: "Strange, how could such a place exist."
The two girls walked in, and the heat wave that hit their faces made their skin ache.
There are no other items in the small cave except the magma pool.
As you get closer, you will find that this pool of magma seeps out from the gaps in the dark wall next to it and gradually gathers together.
“Red Candleflower!?”
Shang Zhiyu suddenly exclaimed.
Ran Qingchen followed the other person's gaze and saw a mysterious flower similar to a candle growing in the magma pool with red flames floating in it.
The flower branches are thick and stained with red liquid, like candle tears.
Being able to grow in such a high-temperature magma pool is unusual in itself. Ran Qingchen was stunned and asked in confusion: "Master, what is the red candle flower?"
At this time Shang Zhiyu's eyes were fiery, hiding ecstasy.
She explained patiently: "I also accidentally read it from the farmer's "Tian Wu Cao Jing". This flower grows in extremely hot places and has the effect of washing marrow and cutting bones, as well as healing.
But I don't know exactly how effective it is. However, the "Tianwucaojing" was compiled by the descendants of Shennong himself, and it was strict about Tianbao ground materials, so it was unlikely to make mistakes. "
Healing? Maybe you can pick it and treat the master's injury.
Ran Qingchen stared at the red candle with her beautiful eyes, pointed her toes, and pointed towards the top of the magma. Sweeping away.
Just as the woman was about half a foot away, she was blocked by the scorching wave of fire. It felt like she would be roasted by the heat if she stayed up there for a moment. >
"This magma pool is unusual. Without special protective talismans, it is easy to be injured."
Shang Zhiyu said.
Ran Qingchen raised his long sword and wanted to use the sword energy to cut off the red candle flower, but was blocked by Shang Zhiyu: "The red candle flower is very fragile and cannot withstand the sword energy. It needs to be used with hands. Pick it.”
“But we can’t get close, how can we pick it?” Ran Qingchen frowned.
Shang Zhiyu couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
If her cultivation level recovers, she can pick it easily, but now...
Shang Zhiyu looked around. When she saw the stone wall that had just been broken by Ran Qingchen's sword, she suddenly thought of something. Pointing to a lower edge of the magma pool, he said: "Use your sword energy to dig some out from here to let the magma in the pool flow out."
Ran Qingchen nodded and swung his sword to dig out the edge of the pool. A deep and crude ditch was dug.
As the magma continues to flow out, the pool level begins to drop, and more of the red candle flower's true body is gradually revealed. You can see that the black roots below are getting thinner and thinner, like hair.
Feeling that the magma liquid was almost released, Ran Qingchen swept towards the pool again.
This time, although the fire waves were still scorching, she still endured the scalding heat and picked the red candle flowers.
The moment I bought it, the red candles dimmed a little.
And in the stamens, dense red liquid oozed out, just like drops of blood and tears.
When Ran Qingchen returned to the shore, Shang Zhiyu hurriedly snatched the red candle flower from her hand.
Feeling the rich essence of heaven and earth in the flower branches, the woman's eyes were fiery and she couldn't help but smile.
She turned back to Ran Qingchen and smiled:
"Qingchen, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for your arrival, whether my teacher would be alive now is two different things. You girl, you can What a lucky star. ”
Ryan Qingchen’s hair was slightly curled by the heat wave, and her beautiful and charming face was also baked red.
She lowered her head and glanced at the hand that was burned when she picked the red candle flowers, and said softly: "Master, you heal here first, and I will protect you."
"Well, Sorry to bother you.”
Shang Zhiyu nodded and found a clean place to sit down and heal his wounds.
Getting the red candle this time was a complete surprise. God gave her a great opportunity at a critical moment.
What she values is not the healing effect of the red candle flower, but the effect of cleansing the marrow and cutting the tendons.
Because she is half human and half demon, her body has been transformed invisibly. If she cannot eat essence, blood and flesh, it will be difficult to maintain her true body.
And this red candle flower can help her reforge her muscles and control them better.
"Master, is what Wang Luoyan said true?"
Ran Qingchen suddenly asked.
“What?”
Shang Zhiyu was stunned and looked up at his apprentice.
Ran Qingchen's back was turned to her. Under the shadow of the fire, there was a faint sheen on the edge of the girl's cheeks.
Shang Zhiyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
She gently stroked her bloody skirt and asked with a smile: "What do Qingchen think?"
"I don't want to believe it is true." Ran Qingchen said calmly road.
Unwilling...
These two words illustrate the woman's psychology at the moment.
Shang Zhiyu's eyes flickered. She wanted to tell some lies to deceive the other party, but Ran Qingchen said, "I want to hear the truth from master, don't lie to me."
Master and disciple get along so well. We have known each other for many years.
Every look, every word, every pause in pronunciation, every smile is extremely familiar.
Ran Qingchen turned around.
She bit her lip slightly, her body trembling a little: "I hope Master will not hide it."
Shang Zhiyu opened his mouth to speak, but fell into silence.
For a long time, she looked at the flowing magma liquid, feeling a little lost, and asked slowly: "In Qingchen's heart, what kind of person is Master?"
Ran Qingchen The red lips opened slightly and said:
"You will love me, you will scold me, you will care about me, you will punish me, but you will not... hate me."
"Hate me?"< br>
Shang Zhiyu laughed.
She stared at the girl holding the sword in front of her as if she were out of the dust, and saw the proud woman again in a trance, and the two figures seemed to gradually overlap.
Shang Zhiyu said: "I hate your mother."
"Why?"
Ran Qingchen fluttered his eyelashes and asked.
Shang Zhiyu seemed to be pretending to be tired and wanted to tear away all the pretense that made her bored. He said lightly: "Every woman who practices swordsman in the world hates your mother."
Jealous?
Ran Qingchen seemed to have the answer in his heart.
Shang Zhiyu said in a gloomy tone: "For me, it is not just jealousy, but also anger.
Without her, I would enter the Nanhai Holy Sect to practice. Without her, The leader of swordsmanship should be me. Without her, that man would not leave me!
I gave up a lot, but got nothing! "
Shang Zhiyu became excited, and his skin showed strange black vein-like lines.
But the woman quickly calmed down, sighed, and laughed at herself:
“The flowers on the branches of Lianli are blooming, and the wind and rain will rush each other. Be it jealousy or hate, what's the use if people are dead. I just... just hope to go a little further than her. "
Ran Qingchen's eyes were red: "Then why do you want to accept me as your disciple? ”
"Because of the sword heart."
Shang Zhiyu did not hide anything and said truthfully, "There is a sword heart in your body, which was placed by Jiang Wan. Over the years, I hope to take it out of your body, For my use. This is the reason why I accepted you as my disciple."
As if struck by lightning, Ran Qingchen staggered back involuntarily.
Her brain was buzzing, as if there were thousands of sharp knives competing to pierce her chest, severing her emotions and tearing her soul.
Every breath is filled with heart-wrenching pain and knife-cutting pain.
"Why...why..."
At this moment, Ran Qingchen felt as if he was in an abyss, with a bone-chilling chill running through his body, "Why did you all lie to me...Why did you all lie to me!?"< br>
The man she loved so much cheated on her!
Her beloved adopted sister deceived her!
Her respected master deceived her!
Why are people in this world lying to her?
Anger, sadness, pain... countless emotions poured into the girl's already scarred and riddled heart, leaving her breathless and her eyesight turning black.
Tears shone in Ran Qingchen's eyes, but he never let them come out.
She looked at Shang Zhiyu with pain in her eyes, and said slowly:
"Today Qingchen saved the master, the relationship between you and my master and disciple is considered to be clear. From now on Qingchen Chen is no longer a disciple of the Xuanji Sword Sect, nor is he your apprentice...Master, please take care.”
After saying that, Ran Qingchen turned around and prepared to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, Ran Qingchen's cheeks suddenly turned pale, and then he staggered and fell to his knees.
The surroundings were silent except for the girl's heavy breathing.
Ran Qingchen felt that his head was dizzy, and there seemed to be countless needles pricking his flesh and blood all over his body, making him unable to move.
“Qingchen, you’d better stay.”
Shang Zhiyu's cold voice sounded slowly, like the night wind in the valley, biting to the bone.
