The big devil is worthy of being the big devil, but within a day, the wounds on his body that had been treated with medicine began to scab, but the trauma is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is that his cultivation base has lost a lot. I can't see this, and I can't help him, only relying on him to meditate and adjust his breath. The only thing I can do is to deduct the tonic that Mu Jue gave me and give it to the big devil as a supplement.
So for the next few days, I was constantly running around, taking care of Mu Xuan on the top of the sky and delivering tonics to the big devil in the river valley. After delivering meals to Mu Xuan every day, I would meet with Mu Xuan as usual He chatted a little, but I was so tired that day, I put the basket in front of him, sat next to him, said, "Eat." Then I fell asleep inexplicably.
I didn't know how long I had slept, but when I woke up, I found myself leaning against Mu Xuan's body, rubbing my cheek against his shoulder, and holding his arm for warmth.
Done.
When I realized what I had done, several very prominent things popped up in my chaotic mind. The first was such an ambiguous posture, why didn't Mu Xuan get rid of me! The second is, did I say anything in my sleep that I shouldn't say when I was sleeping? The third is, did Mu Xuan take the opportunity to probe my body's breath...
The third seems to be the most important in terms of the importance of things, but the first thing I most want to know right now...
I turned my head nervously, but what was unexpected was that what I saw was not the sober Mu Xuan.
He also fell asleep...
Leaning against the cold rock wall, closed his eyes and breathed evenly. Ever since I met Mu Xuan, no matter whether it was him three hundred years later or three hundred years ago, he kept his expression serious at all times, and such a reassuring expression was extremely rare.
I looked at him for a while, and found that my little heart was beating anxiously again. I hurriedly turned my head, let go of his hand, and planned to sneak away from him quietly, but just as I moved, Mu Xuan's voice rang out: "Don't come tomorrow." He used an orderly tone, but Hearing it in my ears has a kind of gentle meaning, "Going to the sky every day is too much burden for you."
I turned to look at him, he still closed his eyes, but his breath was different from before, he was awakened by me.
"If I don't come, will Master feel lonely?"
He didn't speak, I glanced at his mouth: "Okay, I won't come to you tomorrow."
After leaving the ice cave, I couldn't help but look back, Mu Xuan was sitting there alone, his eyes fell on me calmly. This time, before I turned my head, he averted his eyes: "Go back and have a good rest."
He left these words in my ear.
I took the tonic and went down the mountain to look for the big devil. He was eating the tonic quietly as usual. I sat on the rock and looked at him as usual, and couldn't help but said, "Big devil, do you like me? "
The big devil who was swallowing the medicine turned his head to look at me silently, as if he was choked.
"I mean, feel it, that." I pointed to the top of Canglan Mountain, "Does Mu Xuan like me now?"
He swallowed the medicine: "About it."
I was stunned for a while, and a warm current surged in my heart, but it was completely different from the ecstatic ecstasy of accomplishing the task that I said earlier. This kind of feeling is like bathing in a hot spring in winter, making all my limbs warm.
I settled my emotions and said, "Then I will ask him for a spiritual mirror, and he should give it to me easily."
The big devil made a soft "hmm" sound.
When I got this affirmation, I didn't have the euphoria I imagined, just like the result has become the result that I didn't want, which made people feel uneasy.
So the big devil and I both fell silent amid the ding dong of the river.
"Why did you become a demon back then?" I looked at the sky and asked him softly, "Why did you kill your fellow slayer and collude with the demons? It's clear that the Mu Xuan I see now... has so much tenderness in her heart."
The big devil was silent for a long time. When I thought he would not answer my question like before, he suddenly said, "I am just like you."
I was stunned for a moment and looked at him with a wink: "Where is the same?"
His eyes fell on me, no different from him three hundred years ago: "Half-demon, half-human."
After hearing this answer, I looked at him for a long time before I understood the meaning of these four words. Then I covered my open mouth and looked at him in disbelief: "You... Mu Xuan... a half devil?" I was stunned. , "But you were not the eldest disciple of the Canglan faction before, you grew up in the Canglan faction, how could your master not know..."
"My master knows." The big devil said, "It's just that he never told me. The master gave me the spirit mirror and let me wear it all the time. I used to think that the spirit mirror was full of spiritual power. Master asked me to use it to practice. Only later did I know that the Spirit Mirror is the spiritual object that Master gave me to suppress the demonic energy in my body."
I scratched my head: "Wait... I'm a little confused... Say it slowly, your master Chengsu Zhenren knows that you are a half-demon but still takes you as an apprentice? You didn't even know you were a half-demon before. body? Then when did you…”
I paused, and suddenly remembered that day, that day, the battle of Jingshan, Mu Xuan exchanged a few words with the demon man in black, and then he wanted to follow the demon man...
"It was at that time that you knew that you were half-demon?"
The big devil defaults.
"My mother was Master's old friend. She passed away shortly after she gave birth to me. She asked Master to take care of me. Master took me back to the Canglan School. In order not to make me look at me differently, Master concealed my identity. , including to me. The spells he taught me and the spiritual mirror he gave me were all aimed at suppressing the demonic energy, so that I never realized that I was different from others."
"Three hundred years ago, Jingshan and his party, when Shi Li, the leader of the Demon Clan in Fushan, noticed the demonic energy in my blood and recognized that I was a member of his clan, he used my background as bait to lure me. Leaving Jingshan, as a result of that battle, none of Canglan's disciples survived."
I am amazed. It turned out that at that time, the disciples of the Canglan faction were all…
Including the female disciple who gave me medicine, and Mu Jue...
I can't imagine how Mu Xuan would feel when he came back and saw the body of his fellow sect. I looked up at the big devil, but his expression was very indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Then I returned to Canglan Mountain alone, and Immortal Venerable locked me in the sky. At that time, we learned from Master that my biological father was the first king of the Demon Clan of Fushan Mountain. He, like my mother, had already passed away. Master knew that When I was planning to reveal my identity, Shi Li first slandered me for colluding with the demons and murdered my fellow disciples, and then plotted to kill my teacher, causing the world to misunderstand me. I wanted to find Shi Li, but I couldn't kill him in the future, so I was sealed at the bottom of Lingjing Lake."
A few words outlined his previous life, the helpless and resentful life he walked alone.
"So, you suffered such a serious injury and bloodshed the Fushan Demon Race because you didn't want Mu Xuan to experience these things?"
The big devil nodded: "I killed Shi Li." He said, without the joy of killing the enemy, not even a trace of emotional fluctuations.
Come to think of it...
After all, what he only interferes with is the life of another "Mu Xuan", and he has experienced these things personally, and has experienced such despair and unwillingness, even if he returns to three hundred years later, in the time and space where he should be, His enemies are still there, and he still has to face his endgame again, nothing changes.
"I don't need to stay here anymore." The big devil suddenly said, "When he leaves the sky, my injury should have healed, and I can urge the spirit mirror to go back. At that time, you asked him for the spirit mirror, and he It should be given to you." He paused, "This time... work harder."
"I've worked hard." I hugged my head, "I've worked hard enough to put myself in."
When the big devil heard this, he remained silent and did not speak.
The next day I went to the Sky Dome as usual, and saw me, Mu Xuan frowned slightly. I didn't see it at all, and went straight to him and sat down.
"Didn't you say you won't come today?"
"I said yesterday that I wouldn't come to see Master today, but I didn't say I wouldn't come today." I sat against the wall with my knees in my arms, "I didn't come to see Master, I just wanted to come and sit."
Mu Xuan was speechless.
The big devil said that Master Chengsu had already told Mu Xuan about his life experience, and I finally understood why Mu Xuan's expression was always desolate these days.
He has been the eldest disciple of the Canglan faction since he was a child, with Guanghua in his body, but one day he suddenly realizes that he is a half-demon who is despised by the world. Xuan is different. I have accepted this fact since I was a child. Unlike him, I have to experience the pain of destroying the worldview.
At this time, probably no one can relieve his pain, but it is better to have someone with him than to leave him alone and think about it.
"The day I met you, a group of people in Canglan Mountain was chasing and killing one person, but the person being chased and killed was a boy. It has nothing to do with you. I checked your background, but found nothing." Mu Xuan said suddenly. , I don't know why he suddenly said this, so I could only listen silently, "Who the hell are you?"
His face is close at hand, and in his deep eyes, my shadow is full: "What do you want?"
I want a mirror.
"You said, don't bother, maybe I can give it to you."
I want a mirror.
I want to be honest with Mu Xuan, I don't want to lie to him anymore. Then a clear voice blurted out from my lips.
"I want you."
The voices echoing in the cave fell silent.
Mu Xuan stared at me blankly, and I saw the same blank self in his eyes.
what did i say...
I seem to have blurted out the real truth in my heart.
"So in order to achieve this goal, you... worship me as... teacher?" I was still in a dull state in Mu Xuan's eyes. I opened my mouth to explain, but in the end I didn't say anything. I saw Mu Xuan's side. Turning his face, he said softly, "It's really outrageous."
His voice seemed to hide a smile.
I murmured: "I won't hurt you anyway..."
After saying this, I suddenly felt guilty for a while. In fact, it is not that it will not harm him. The spirit mirror will suppress the demonic energy in him. I took away his spirit mirror, and the demonic energy in Mu Xuan's body was difficult to suppress. Although the body of a half-demon is generally not easily detected, the Canglan faction is a place for immortal cultivation. If there is any accident that causes Mu Xuan to use a lot of mana, without a spiritual mirror, his identity will undoubtedly be exposed.
"Yeah." Hearing Mu Xuan's answer, I felt even more guilty.
