"Sister Yun Niang, I know you don't like him. But no matter how bad that person is, he will still be my future husband, Xuanyuan Yiren."
Li Yunniang suddenly felt a sense of suffocation in her chest, and she felt a little out of breath: "Miss, do you really regard him as your fiancé? Are you going to waste your whole life for him? There are thousands of talents in this cloud world. Even the Danquan Sect, The most ordinary disciple is much better than him. The Xuanyue Muhuang Jue that the young lady has practiced requires more coordination of yin and yang. If you marry this useless person, why don't you stop practicing this technique? You usually like to make alchemy the most. But if your cultivation is stagnant, how can you refine the elixirs you want to refine?"
Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, and then shook her head firmly: "Mother Yun, I know you are doing it for my own good. But in this world, everyone's temperament is different. Maybe other women will not hesitate, I gave up this marriage for myself. But I, Xuanyuan Yiren, only attach great importance to the word "faithfulness". I also like those talented people. I have also dreamed before that someone can wear golden armor and holy clothes, and walk on colorful auspicious clouds. Come and marry me. I even want to refine all the elixirs recorded in the sect one by one, and then see what the scenery is like at the top of the world. But I rely on people's names and read them upside down, which is benevolence and righteousness! I remember that my father has been telling me since he was a child, asking me not to violate the principles of faith in doing things. I, Xuanyuan Yiren, have always kept this in mind, and I dare not or forget—"
Li Yuniang not only had a headache, but also had cramps on her face. I'm thinking, Master, Master, when you taught your daughter these things, did you ever think that a few years later, this would be the case? Will he regret his words for the rest of his life
"Miss, it's true that a person must value integrity. But you don't owe Zong Shou anything, so why bother with this life?"
"Why don't you owe me? My father was able to rise up in East Lin Yunlu because of uncle Weiran's help in the past few years. If my father had not had such a status, how could I, Xuanyuan Yiren, have been able to worship Danquan so early? Within the clan? Even if we really don’t owe anything, breaking off the engagement when he is in danger is just adding insult to injury!"
When Xuanyuan Yiren said this, Liu Mei frowned slightly again: "My father taught me to be benevolent and righteous, but he himself forgot and forgot Uncle Weiran's kindness for fifteen years. It was also because of Uncle Weiran that he came to our Xuanshan City. Is coming here so important in his eyes? So important that he turns a blind eye despite knowing that his friend’s beloved son is in danger?”
Li Yunniang's mouth felt bitter, and she felt that her whole body was weak. There are millions of people in Xuanshan City. The life and death of a family and the life of a friend's son can be understood by thinking about it.
If the future of millions of people in Xuanshan City is affected by this futile, personal so-called 'loyalty', it may not necessarily be in line with this kind of benevolence and righteousness.
A truly good city lord can protect oneself wisely, know the choices and trade-offs, and adapt to the current situation.
"Actually, I am also aware of my father's difficulties, and I have no intention of forcing him. However, my daughter will remember my father's vow of kindness that he has forgotten before. My fiancé will be taken care of by me, Xuanyuan Yiren!"
Xuanyuan Yiren's tone then changed again, and her expression was full of seriousness: "He has a dual-meridian body, which is good, but the Pulse Spirit Pill refined today has some hope of healing. My spirit By practicing the art of alchemy, one day I will be able to find a way for him to practice martial arts!"
"So ten years or twenty years?"
Li Yunniang sneered: "Even if you succeed one day, I think that Zong Shou will probably still hate you. Those men are the most ruthless and take shelter under the wings of women. I am afraid that not only will they not be grateful for this, but they may also I want to be ashamed of you and treat you as my enemy. Even if he doesn't feel it himself, how can he stop everyone from talking about it? No matter how good-tempered he is and has been talked about a lot, I'm afraid he will inevitably have knots in his heart. —”
Xuanyuan Yiren blinked in confusion, and then looked at Li Yunniang with sparkling eyes: "Sister Yunniang, before you do good to others, do you have to consider what others will think and how to repay you? I don't care about others, I will How do you look at me, how do you treat me. Just be nice to others, and be worthy of others in this life!"
Li Yuniang suddenly felt completely powerless. Looking at the girl's expression, she also felt inexplicably ashamed of herself. Knowing that it was useless to persuade her at this time, she just sighed slightly: "Forget it! The lady must do this, and Yun Niang can't do it. I have sworn before that I will follow the lady all my life, and this time I will accompany you to go crazy. . I just hope that in the future, Miss, you won’t regret what happened today!”
"I chose my own path, how could I regret it? In fact, he is not as unbearable as Sister Yunniang, as you said. After being scolded by me today, he was still able to hold back his anger and humbly ask for advice. This shows that he must have a calm and humble temperament. Smart and eager to learn—"
Xuanyuan Yiren made a seal with both hands, and the nine red wooden towers rose into the sky. They turned into the size of a finger and flew into her hand one after another.
Then she remembered that after she started refining the elixir, Zong Shou had not come to the room to watch, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Being calm and humble is a given, but being studious is not.
But in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Sister Yun Niang, you said that Zong Shou refused to come in with you. So where did he go this afternoon?"
Li Yuniang's eyes immediately flashed with a sinister look. Then it disappeared instantly: "I don't know the details. I only heard that the Crown Prince went to a teahouse in the city and bought a first-level spiritual sword with 10,003-level beast crystals. I don't know what happened after that. But it is said that that Zong Shi’s younger brother Zong Ling is also here, and he’s very angry—”
"Ten thousand third-level beast crystals? Just to buy a first-level spiritual sword?"
Xuanyuan Yiren's hand trembled slightly, and she took a breath of cold air. The nine spiritual flames that were being restrained almost burst out of control.
※ ※ ※ ※
After taking the Pulse Spirit Pill and sacrificing the sword with blood, Zong Shou spent another two days before gradually regaining his strength.
This is also because he has the essence of Lei Luan's egg, so he can recover so quickly. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not be able to get out of bed within ten days and a half.
For two consecutive days, Zong Shou was either drawing the talisman or reconstructing the talisman array in his room.
The former is to review the talismans and draw some talismans for later use. The latter is not for refining elixirs, but for other purposes.
As for the pill furnace, after he refined the Pulse Spirit Pill, he threw it into the garbage.
The days were so leisurely, no one came to disturb him, and all the approaching waves and dangers were temporarily isolated. Zong Shou often had the illusion that he had returned to the peaceful and quiet time in his previous life.
Sometimes I feel that it would be great if I could live in this courtyard forever.
But this is just a fantasy after all. If you really have this idea, then you are not far from death.
While drawing the talisman and forming the formation, I also gave Xue'er some pointers. This was quite simple, just send the girl to catch the birds.
The next step is to raise the sword. Every day, Zong Shou's room is filled with black sword lights dancing wildly.
Not only can it enhance the spirituality of the sword, but also his ability to control the Black Wave Sword. You can also use this to familiarize yourself with the spiritual master's weapon control methods.
There are blood marks left by him on the sword body. Even if you are thousands of feet away, you can still control it freely. In just a few hours, Zong Shou was able to control Ruyi and even devote his attention to refining the talisman.
However, after practicing for two consecutive days, Zong Shou was not satisfied.
"This sword in the air is of course unpredictable, fast and changeable, and can kill people thousands of miles away. But its power is a bit weak. It cannot be blessed with martial arts thoughts. It can only be damaged by the talismans of the spirit sword itself. People. It's okay to bully those low-level martial arts masters. If you encounter an innate, you can only get a little help at most. No wonder these spiritual masters who are above the out-of-body realm value more spiritual weapons such as shields, hammers, cones, whip ropes, or attacks. The power is amazing, or there may be another wonderful use—"
Then he thought of those monks among the spiritual masters who mainly controlled swords, and Zong Shou felt envious again.
"Those sword cultivators use their own swords as their second spirit. Just like their own bodies, the sword can also activate their sword intent. Unfortunately, I have no way to learn the art of this second spirit. Otherwise, find a peerless sword blank, and after it is developed, you can be proud of Xiaoyun Realm!"
However, given his current situation, it was naturally impossible to find a good sword blank. And this Black Wave Sword, as the second soul, is seeking death.
He must use this black wave sword to strengthen his martial arts thoughts and compete with those martial arts masters. Unless the soul leaves the body and holds the sword with the soul.
With his accomplished swordsmanship in his previous life, he only needed one sword in his hand. Under Wuzong, he was confident that he could be invincible in the world.
However, in this case, the requirements for escorting and protecting the law are extremely high.
"The Shadow Lion is good at hiding and running quickly, and can kill with one strike. If it is protected by the side, it will bury its innate ability. Although Xiao Jin is good, he has not grown up yet. If I want to control the sword with my soul, I need another person. It’s impossible to seek protection. It’s really unavoidable—”
After the breath and vitality in his body recovered, Zong Shou took care of him for another day. On the third day, he finally felt full of energy, and the talisman array he needed was finally completed.
The incense table was set up almost immediately, two wax lamps were lit, and a simple altar was made. Then he pasted several yellow talisman papers on the incense table one by one. Zong Shou stood in the formation with a serious expression on his face. He took out the silver beast crystal that he had just exchanged from the ancestor Kuang not long ago.
The bear soul beast here is a fifth-level escort. However, its essence is above the sixth level, far beyond the ability of an out-of-body soul master to subdue and suppress.
The reason why he is so confident today is because Zong Shou occasionally saw a kind of talisman formation in the library in his previous life. You can temporarily seal part of this soul beast's strength and force it down to the next level. However, the process of subduing is still dangerous.
If it were before he got this Black Wave Sword, Zong Shou would never take the risk. But at this time, without hesitation, he threw the beast crystal in his hand in front of the bill. While he was still in mid-air, two more talismans were ignited by the fire, and they chased after him.
A ball of fire immediately enveloped the beast crystal. Then the next moment, countless green smoke came out. After it condensed, a six-foot-tall giant bear appeared in front of Zong Shou. Fortunately, his room was large enough and made of huge wood, with beams eight feet high, so the roof was not propped up.
