The First Elder looked Ye Muxi up and down, with admiration in his eyes: "Not bad, not bad. Now I can't even see your strength. You are indeed the child that Zhijie has chosen."
Mu Xi shook his head and said, "Master taught me well."
The great elder laughed, and the fatigue in his expression eased a lot, and said: "Are you here to find Zhijing? He is in the backyard. Go and see him. If he sees you coming, he will definitely be very happy. .”
"Yeah. I'll go right away."
Mu Xi signaled to the elder and went to the backyard.
"Then, ahem, I'll go there first!" Huo Cheng quickly followed.
Speaking of which, he only stayed in the Soul Seizing Sect for one day, and the person who received him was the Great Elder. However, he immediately left the Soul Seizing Sect with Mu Xi and returned to the Sky Gate, so facing this former Huo Cheng was somewhat embarrassed to receive his old man.
The Great Elder smiled slightly: "Young Master Yuancheng, you are so polite."
Encyclopedia said lazily: "Old man, long time no see!"
The elder smiled and cursed: "Didn't you come with Ye Yatou? Come in quickly."
The encyclopedia said: "My brother's speed passed in the blink of an eye. Why are you panicking? I said, old man, how old are you this year? I haven't seen you for so long. Why do you feel that you are old again?"
The Great Elder sighed slowly: "How old am I? I forgot too, probably... my end is coming soon."
Once your strength reaches a certain critical point and you can no longer advance, you will slowly grow old.
It’s not that you won’t age through cultivation, it’s just that you age more slowly.
How many years can you live as long as you have the strength. The Great Elder's strength has always stayed at the god level. Thousands of years ago, he would have thought about retreating again and practicing hard. He must advance. Even if he cannot live forever, he must be like Lou Jingxiao. Just like Kongyuan Buddha, you need at least one foot to step into that realm. It is a cultivation level known to human beings that can indeed be achieved.
However, as time went by, he was unable to break through the current level and then slowly started to concentrate on the Soul Seizing Sect. Therefore, the great elder became indifferent to the matter of cultivation.
So now, as time goes by, he is getting older bit by bit, but he no longer has the intention to practice.
"By the way, what little girl Ye was holding just now was a little ferocious beast, right?" The elder frowned and said, "Why did this girl keep a ferocious beast as a pet? Tell her, can you?" Don’t raise ferocious beasts. Once ferocious beasts become mad, they will not recognize their relatives and are so strong that they can easily hurt themselves.”
Encyclopedia's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, my girl knows, you should just worry more about yourself."
The great elder smiled openly: "Everyone is destined to die. I have lived for such a long time, and it is enough."
The only regret is...not being able to see the Soul Reaper Sect in their hands and reach another level.
if…
He meant if.
If that little girl Ye Muxi had not left the Soul Seizing Sect, would the current Soul Seizing Sect be different
Later, he felt ridiculous for his thoughts.
If Ye Xiaoya really stayed in the Soul Reaver Sect, her wings would probably be strangled and she wouldn't be able to fly high.
This is best, best.
When Mu Xi came to the inner courtyard, she heard Bai Zhijing's voice.
"Master, I have talked to many alchemists, including Miss Ye Ruoyu, and they all said that this kind of poison cannot be cured. Nishang has suffered for so many years. Now I only hope that she can be here... in this final time. Here, happily..."
Bai Zhijing's voice was hoarse, especially when he said the word 'last', it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength.
How much he didn't want to admit that Nishang only had this last period of time.
But there is no way, even if you don't admit it, you must admit it.
He could only give Nishang the greatest happiness and blessings in this last time.
How much he regretted not being able to express his feelings like Ni Chang earlier. In this case, he would not have made Ni Chang wait for him for so long and wasted a lot of days that could make her happy.
Then another gentle and pleasant voice sounded: "Hallmaster Bai has a good intention, but looking at the three thousand proverbs of Buddhism, only the soothing chapter can soothe the pain in Miss Nishang's body, but..."
After all, this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.
Mu Xi heard this voice and turned his head slightly. It was Xiaoguai's voice.
Xiaoguai actually put aside the matter of enlightenment and came here in person.
She felt warm in her heart and opened the door directly and walked in.
"I know." Bai Zhijing looked pained: "I know this can't cure the root cause, but only in this way can we reduce Nishang's pain. I..."
When he found someone coming in, Bai Zhijing immediately stopped what he was about to say and looked towards Mu Xi.
"Mu Xi?"
"Xiao Xi!"
After hearing the news, he also noticed Mu Xi, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he laughed softly: "Xiao Xi, you are here."
Mu Xi was also in a good mood, with a rare smile in her beautiful eyes: "Master, my dear, long time no see."
Bai Zhijing's handsome face, which had not seen a smile in many days, had a touch of softness: "Master, let's see, are you okay these days?"
Mu Xi nodded: "Well, it's okay, Master is worried."
Bai Zhijing sighed: "I was also on the Flame Mountain that day. After seeing you disappear, I felt very anxious. However, when I saw you letting Lou Jingxiao leave, I guessed that you must have some idea, but I didn't. Come to think of it, you’ve been away for another ten years.”
There were no outsiders here, so Mu Xi only said: "I was trapped at the junction of Yin and Yang for a long time, and then returned to hell. Although I only stayed in hell for about ten days, time in the world waits for no one. It has already been More than ten years have passed.”
Not only did she miss out on a lot of things, she even missed out on Xiao Yan's growth.
Bai Zhijing didn't notice the little ferocious beast Mo Yan in her hand. He just patted Mu Xi's head and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay. Just come back safely. I'll try my best to make up for what I've lost. I'm afraid... I'll lose it." It can never be made up for.”
As Bai Zhijing spoke, his eyes became a little dazed, with deep regret and regret.
When he was young, he was a talisman-making maniac and didn't pay much attention to everything around him. If he had known that he would want to make up for it today, he wouldn't have been so... ignoring everything around him.
After hearing this, he sighed: "Hall Master Bai is right, it would be great if Xiao Xi can come back safely."
He didn't say much, let alone say that when he heard the news that they had returned to the underground palace, he left the Huayan Sect who were clamoring in front of him about how bad the underground palace was and came here directly.
Mu Xi took a step forward and said, "Master, I heard that Master's wife... was poisoned?"
Bai Zhijing nodded with a sad look: "Well, I have searched all the alchemists in the world, but they can't cure her. I..."
If Nishang died, his heart would die with him.
Mu Xi said, "Can you let me take a look?"
Bai Zhijing just thought that Mu Xi had not seen Ni Chang for a long time, so he took Mu Xi to the inner courtyard.
Entering the inner courtyard, Mu Xi saw Ni Shang sleeping on the bed. Ni Shang's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and she looked lifeless, as if she had no life left.
Mu Xi glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Master, maybe I can save my wife."
