"Grandpa, I cured you with the flowers!"
It was a quiet night, Jiang Yuebai pushed the door open and stepped into the courtyard holding a flower pot.
The great array barrier swept across his body, and the sound of fierce battle suddenly reached his ears.
"Tao Fengnian, if you dare to kill me, my sister will not let you go."
"Then I will kill Jia Xiuchun as well!"
A strong wind blew in Jiang Yuebai's face. He was terrified and tightly protected the flowerpot. Half of the sword blade brushed past his face and hit the wooden door hard, causing a tremor and echo.
There were bloodstains on his face, and Jiang Yuebai saw that the yard was in a mess.
Tao Fengnian's eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a madman. He swung the sickle madly, causing blue bricks to break and fly. The battle was fierce.
Jia Wei rolled and crawled holding the broken sword, throwing talismans continuously which made loud noises. His body was covered with scars left by the sickle, which was a horrible sight.
Jiang Yuebai's sudden intrusion gave Jia Wei a glimmer of hope. He smashed the broken sword and the last two fireball talismans in his hand, pulled out his dagger and rushed towards Jiang Yuebai.
Boom! Boom!
The fireball exploded in the air, Tao Fengnian staggered back, gasping for breath and almost at the end of his strength.
Jiang Yuebai has a talisman on her, so the protective formation in the courtyard will not stop her.
"White girl, go!"
Tao Fengnian panicked and Jia Wei attacked viciously.
Jiang Yuebai protected the flowerpot in his arms and dodged repeatedly, using one hand to activate the Qingyan shield on the wolf-patterned armor arm guard to block.
Sparks flew, and the Qingyan Shield was defeated again and again. Her body had been plundered of too much essence and blood, and her vitality was already weak. Jia Wei was at the ninth level of Qi training, and his speed and strength were much stronger than hers.
"Even if you save the flower, he won't survive. He was doomed from the moment he swallowed the poisonous insect!"
Jiang Yuebai's back hit the courtyard wall and he had nowhere to retreat.
Hearing what Jia Wei said again, I was shocked. What did he mean? Could it be that all this was Jia Wei's plan for Grandpa
The moment Jiang Yuebai lost consciousness, Jia Wei's eyes were vicious. He reached out and pinched Jiang Yuebai's neck. As long as he could control her, Tao Fengnian would not be a problem for him!
At the critical moment, the sound of chains rang, the sharp blade pierced the flesh, and hot blood splashed on Jiang Yuebai's face. She suddenly came back to her senses.
Jia Wei's shoulder bone was pierced by the sickle. Tao Fengnian pulled hard and Jia Wei flew backwards to the ground, with the earth and rocks shattering.
"Tao Fengnian, I want you to die miserably!!"
In severe pain, Jia Wei struggled to break free from the chains like a mad dog. Tao Fengnian fell down and had no strength to get up.
"Open your eyes and watch carefully. I am going to chop this little bitch into pieces!"
"Run, white girl!"
Jia Wei turned around viciously, and three thorn seeds flew towards his face with a chill. Before they hit the ground, they turned into thorny vines and quickly wrapped around Jia Wei.
The hard thorns pierced through the skin, the cold air entered the body and froze the blood. In an instant, Jia Wei's whole body was covered with frost and his movements became slow.
Phew!
The silver light is dazzling, and a shot pierces through!
Jia Wei opened his eyes in horror, blood gushing out of his throat. He looked at Jiang Yuebai with a gun in both hands and eyes full of hatred, wishing he could eat him alive.
"impossible… "
Jiang Yuebai suddenly put away the gun, blood spurted out, and Jia Wei fell to the ground with a bang, his face still showing an extremely shocked expression.
Tao Fengnian was also shocked. He was unable to recover for a long time and finally laughed at himself.
In the end, it was this girl who avenged him. He was really incompetent.
"grandfather!"
Jiang Yuebai was about to rush over to check on Tao Fengnian's condition when a strange talisman suddenly appeared from Jia Wei's body, and it rushed out of the yard as fast as a meteor with a hazy white light.
"Oh no! His soul is trying to escape!"
Tao Fengnian was extremely anxious and struggled but couldn't get up.
A green light rushed out from between Jiang Yuebai's eyebrows, transformed into the shape of a palace lantern and instantly blocked the white light talisman. The phosphorous fire flickered, the talisman burned, and a scream of extreme pain was emitted.
Xiaolu rushed forward viciously, tore off Jia Wei's soul from the talisman and devoured it, turning it into spiritual consciousness in Jiang Yuebai's sea of consciousness, allowing the wheat seedlings to thrive.
Tao Fengnian collapsed to the ground, dying. Jiang Yuebai rushed over and helped Tao Fengnian up.
"Don't be afraid, Grandpa. I will take you to see the doctors in the sect now. They will definitely be able to help."
Tao Fengnian held Jiang Yuebai's hand and shook his head slowly, "It's too late, girl. Grandpa doesn't have much time. Can you listen to Grandpa first?"
Jiang Yuebai's tears fell and she shook her head vigorously, "I don't want to hear it. Tell me when you get better."
Tao Fengnian raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Jiang Yuebai's face, lowered his eyes to look at the blood on her body, and struggled to cast a purification spell to help her clean it up.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa didn't really yell at you, and I didn't blame you. I was just... too afraid of death, and didn't want you to see Grandpa in such a miserable state."
Jiang Yuebai's tears welled up as she shook her head. She pulled Tao Fengnian hard to get him up. "Grandpa, stop talking. Let's go find someone. There must be someone who can help you..."
The vitality in Tao Fengnian's body quickly dissipated and his face turned pale. He took out the medicine bottle and storage bag with his blood-stained hands and pressed them heavily into Jiang Yuebai's hands.
"After all, Grandpa is not worthy of the Longevity Pill. Return it and don't owe it to others because of Grandpa. The storage bag contains Grandpa's savings over the years and your Flying Core Boat, as well as Grandpa's sickle, pipe and the protective flag of the courtyard. You must keep them all. This is all Grandpa can leave for you!"
"There is one more important thing. When Grandpa dies..."
Jiang Yuebai choked up and shouted, "Grandpa, wait a minute. I'll go find someone now."
Tao Fengnian grabbed Jiang Yuebai and pulled her in front of him. "This is very important. Grandpa's hometown is in Qingzhou, Yunguo, in Qingxi Town at the foot of Leyou Mountain in Yuyang County. There is a Wuwei Temple on the mountain. Grandpa got the chance to become an immortal in that deep mountain, and he also found the Five Elements Return to Truth there."
"Grandpa wasn't very capable at the time, so he couldn't get to the bottom of it. In the future, you should bring Grandpa back to his hometown to bury him. Make good preparations, and then go explore again. Maybe you can find the remaining parts of the technique. Grandpa has recorded the specific location in the jade slip, so don't forget it!"
Jiang Yuebai continued to shake his head, unwilling to accept the reality.
Tao Fengnian smiled weakly, his skin was like burnt paper ash, which would turn into ashes with the slightest touch.
"Girl, you are right. Grandpa is a cowardly and incompetent man. He has high aspirations but low skills. He thinks he is always striving, but in fact he has done nothing and is too lazy to do anything. Even at the end, he is counting on you to pass the exam to become a spiritual farmer to save his life."
"No, grandpa is the most powerful person in my heart, I don't want you to die..." Jiang Yuebai cried helplessly and shook Tao Fengnian's sleeves hard.
Tao Fengnian's turbid eyes were filled with tears. Thinking back to what Mo Baichun said that day, it was indeed true. The little girl had too deep feelings for him. Now that he was gone, if she could not get out of the haze, she would surely develop a demon in her heart.
In the end, it was still a burden.
"You are a good child, and you are much smarter than grandpa. Don't think that grandpa is nagging. Finally, grandpa still wants to remind you that in the future, think twice before you act, and don't show your emotions on your face at any time. This is the world of cultivation. If someone finds out that you have ill intentions towards them, they may take the initiative to attack you."
"You quarreled with Lu Ying twice. The first time you were angry and helped those people to repair the seedlings and almost got blackmailed. The second time you didn't care and quarreled with Jia Wei. This was all caused by you being too impulsive and emotional. You must change in the future."
"I will change, I will change, please don't leave me, Grandpa, please..."
"You don't have to worry about Jia Wei. Grandpa has already sent a letter to the Law Enforcement Hall to explain the situation. You can take Grandpa's token and leave Tianyan Sect tonight to find Mo Baichun. From now on, you will be far away from home and no one can restrain you anymore."
"No, I won't leave. I want to stay with Grandpa..."
Tao Fengnian smiled bitterly, tears welling up from the corners of his eyes, "Good girl, help grandpa into the house and ask grandpa to tidy up and leave in a decent manner, okay?"
Jiang Yuebai choked, twitched, cried heart-wrenchingly, and felt like dying.
Tao Fengnian struggled to stand up and staggered back to the north room.
After closing the door, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and slid to the ground, shrugging his shoulders, covering his mouth and nose and crying silently.
He is just an ordinary person after all. How can he not be afraid when death is imminent
The sky and the earth were dark, no moon was visible, and the howling wind sounded like a sharp knife.
When Zhu Wu, the chief executioner of the Law Enforcement Hall, arrived with two law enforcement disciples, they saw the little girl sleeping on the freezing bluestone bricks, curled up with her arms hugging herself.
Empty eyes, tear-stained face
Jiang Yuebai closed her eyes tightly, tears falling silently.
After examining Jia Wei's body, the two law enforcement disciples wanted to ask about Jiang Yuebai's situation.
Zhu Wu raised his arm, "Ask her later, tell her... to be alone."
The two law enforcement disciples bowed and stepped back.
Zhu Wu retracted his gaze and walked towards the north room and opened the door. On the bed opposite the door, Tao Fengnian changed out of his monk's robe and dressed like a scholar in blue. He was sitting cross-legged and was no longer breathing.
Jiang Yuebai got up from the ground, turned his empty eyes towards the room, and slowly fell on Tao Fengnian. His pupils and chin trembled slightly, and his mind collapsed.
"grandfather-"
The stars fell, the Heartburn flower withered and turned to ashes, the morning dew dripped into the pond, and all disappeared.
*
Hedan Hall.
"Uncle Jia, your brother sent a box and said it was the rouge you always wanted. He put it on your dressing table."
"Got it. Let's go down."
Jia Xiuchun walked lightly to the dressing table, lowered her eyes to look at the exquisite wooden box, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
"Finally you still remember to pay some attention to me."
Green fingers lifted the lid of the box, and flames shot out.
boom!
There was a deafening roar, and the raging flames engulfed the entire house in an instant.
When the flames died down, thick smoke billowed out of Jia Xiuchun's house. She lay half-charred in the ruins, her body poisoned, and her skin festered inch by inch.
In a moment, Jia Xiuchun suddenly opened his eyes, and the fire poison in his body slowly dissipated.
"Haha, it's actually poison, hahaha. I take poison pills every day, so the thing I'm least afraid of is poison, hahaha."
"Uncle Jia, the Law Enforcement Hall has reported that your brother and Tao Fengnian had a fight and both died!"
The errand disciple came in a hurry to report, and when he passed through the protective formation, he saw the mess in the courtyard and was horrified.
Jia Xiuchun sat up suddenly, his eyes bloodshot and filled with tears of resentment.
"Tao! Feng! Nian! Even if you die, I, Jia Xiuchun, will make the life you care about worse than death!!"
