Above the sea area, the wind was howling, and there were waves of waves. Gu Ranyan stood quietly on a rock in Siyu Island like a statue, looking at it absent-mindedly, as if recalling, or missing...
In the void, Yuan Lin also looked at her, sighed, and shook her head slightly. As a senior elder of the Qing Dynasty, although Gu Ranyan was not his apprentice, she could be regarded as watching her grow up. At this moment, seeing Gu Ranyan so sad, Yuan Lin felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, sighed again, and was about to leave, when a voice came. "Uncle Yuan Lin, the Emperor Qingzong will be unsealed the day after tomorrow, right?"
Gu Ranyan's voice is just like her person, giving people a feeling of sadness, and when it reaches the ears, people can't help but feel pity in their hearts.
"That's true. The day after tomorrow is exactly twenty years." 293 "Master, can I ask you something?"
"I know what you want to say, but I'm afraid I can't agree to this request." Yuan Lin refused directly as if she knew it.
"Let the suzerain undo the restrictions on Siyu Island." Although Yuan Lin didn't agree, Gu Ranyan said it out, "This matter started because of me, let me end it..."
"Ran Yan, you can just meditate here, don't worry about other things."
"I don't want to implicate the Qing Emperor..." Gu Ranyan was interrupted by Yuan Lin before she finished speaking.
"Ran Yan!" Yuan Lin yelled angrily, and reprimanded, "Don't say such things in the future, you are a disciple of our Shang Qingzong, you were a disciple of the Shang Qingzong, you were in the past, you are now, and you will be in the future. No matter what you have done, you will never They are all disciples of our Shang Qingzong, whether it is a mistake or a calamity, our Shang Qingzong will definitely share the responsibility with all the disciples."
Gu Ranyan didn't speak again.
There was a moment of silence, only the wind and waves howling.
Yuan Lin sighed. He said again, "This matter is not as bad as you imagined. What should be done has been done 20 years ago. It is considered to have subsided. According to the treaty of that day, we will wait for the day when we unblock it. Invite a few large parties and present to them in public. Make an apology and tell the world, they just want to take this opportunity to humiliate us Shang Qingzong and prove their own strength..."
"Uncle, I am not worthy of such a big sacrifice for me by Shang Qingzong."
"Hehe..." Yuan Lin gave a complicated smile, "Ranyan, there are many things you don't understand. My Shangqing sect has been passed down since ancient times and occupies a wealth of resources. For thousands of years, other great sects have been coveting, even without you. things, they will look for other excuses... ”
I wanted to say some caring and encouraging words, so that Gu Ranyan could calm down and practice hard. After thinking about it, Yuan Lin didn't open her mouth after all. Gu Ranyan's evil nature has just been suppressed at this stage, and her mind needs to be quiet, and she must not be affected by other emotional factors, so. She stayed for a while, then left.
Not far away, Tang Qing's spiritual sense has been silently sensing, deep in his heart is extremely complicated, and also extremely uncomfortable. From the conversation between them, it is only then that he knows that the little junior sister seems to have been imprisoned, and he still remembers clearly Junior Sister is a person who likes to be unrestrained, and now she is imprisoned, can she adapt? If it weren't for my departure, the junior sister would not have fallen into the way of evil spirits. If the younger junior sister hadn't fallen into the way of demons, the Shang Qingzong would not have been bullied like this. In the final analysis, all the sins should be because of myself .
The cause you planted yourself, but let others bear it.
At this moment, Tang Qing really wanted to scream up to the sky and vent the regret in his heart. If possible, he would like to show up immediately and tell everyone in the world that Tang Wushang is not dead, and those who bully me will be killed without mercy, but , he dared not, and could not.
Because everyone in the world knows that Tang Wushang failed to cross the tribulation. If he stands up now, his identity as a loose immortal will definitely be exposed. Losing an immortal is a crime. Jiutian does not accept it, Jiuyou does not want it. Heaven and earth will not tolerate it. Zong, it may even backfire.
For a long time, I don't know how long it has passed, Tang Qing doesn't know, neither does Gu Ranyan, she is still standing on the rock, looking up at the dark void slightly, the strong wind is howling, and the bright red hair is in her delicate and charming And the cold face was scraped wantonly, a pair of sad eyes stared quietly, and whispered, "Love without regret, hurt parting, infatuation pain, remember love, endless, promise to break up..."
"Tang Wushang, if you really want to leave, why should you show mercy to me that day..."
"A promise, a hope, you gave me a promise, and you also gave me a hope. The promise never existed, and the hope was just a disappointment..." 293 "Tang Wushang, you are a heartless person. yes."
"Destined... Is it really destined?"
"What should I do, what should I do, what can I do..."
Gu Ranyan murmured to himself for a long, long time, as if describing the pain in his heart to the name Tang Wushang, and did not go back until dawn, while Tang Qing was thinking about what Gu Ranyan said just now, and fell into a deep In the midst of deep contemplation, he turned away from Shang Qingzong.
Being young and flirtatious, regretting it now is not karma, but retribution.
Back in Shangqing Town, back to the house arranged by Tie Dan'er yesterday, Tang Qing sat alone at the door, took out a few jars of wine, and drank alone to get drunk. Not long after, a person came in, it was Fang Kui, he was taken aback when he saw Tang Qing, and said, "Hey, brother Tang, you are finally back."
Tang Qing held a jar of wine and said, "Old Fang, you came just in time, come and drink!" He shook his hand and passed the jar of wine, and directly said cheers, raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp, a little dazed Fang Kui seemed to see that Tang Qing was in a bad mood, and asked, "Brother Tang, your complexion is not very good, is there something bothering you?"
"Worried?" Tang Qing sneered, opened another jar, drank it down again, put Fang Kui's shoulders, and said, "Old Fang, do you think there is anyone in this world who sells regret medicine?"
"Regret medicine?" Fang Kui didn't know what happened, but he could see that Tang Qing seemed to be annoyed by remorse and self-blame, and immediately persuaded, "Brother Tang, things in life are unsatisfactory in all likelihood. The past is the past, and thinking about it won't help..."
"Hahahaha!" Tang Qing laughed suddenly, and drank the wine, dripping freely, and said, "The past... can it be passed? Can't make it through, at least not with me..."
Pick up the wine, drink it alone, and drain it, so repeatedly.
Beg to be drunk, not drunk.
"Cultivate less, enjoy the blessings of the sky, be proud of the sky, proud of the earth, proud of the sky, the world is unique and unparalleled, less romantic, chasing beautiful women, chasing confidants, taking lovers, I will be romantic and free, the day of winning, when disappearing, I will feel ashamed Yan, show my love, don't be kind to me, leave my house, hide in the east, hide in the sky, hide in the ground, hide in the past, one hundred and eighty years in a hurry, fly by, remember the past, look at the present, the love is crazy, the grace is unknown, The house is broken...”
Tang Qing was standing, holding the wine jar, tilting his head, looking up, looking at the sky, staring at the great sun, laughing at the nine heavens, and blaming himself. It was just endless guilt and self-blame. Fang Kui was listening, but he was at a loss. He couldn't understand, and he couldn't understand. He said worriedly, "Brother Tang..."
I was about to say something comforting, but Tang Qing waved his hand to signal him to stop. When he turned around, Tang Qing drank another jar of wine and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I'm panicked. Say it out It will be much more enjoyable." Walking over, pressing Fang Kui's shoulders, sitting on the ground casually, took out some crazy devil fruit, peeled off the skin, threw one into his mouth, and started to eat.
"By the way, old Fang, what can you do with me?"
"Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot important things, that's right, yesterday the mayor of Shangqing Town called all the sects under our sect to talk about some things, now that I think about it, it seems that my worries are unnecessary, Gu Ran The matter of Yan, Dazong had already dealt with it 20 years ago. It seems that he had reached some agreement with other Dazongs. The mayor didn’t say what the agreement was. We don’t know. When the time comes, those big sects won’t come over to make trouble.”
"As for the other forces gathered in Yanyu County, they probably wanted to join in the fun. If the big sects didn't show up, they wouldn't dare to openly make trouble in front of our Shang Qingzong."
Tang Qing is Fang Kui's savior, so he has always taken Tang Qing's matter to heart. After getting the news last night, he wanted to tell Tang Qing immediately to let him relax, but he couldn't find it.
"That's good." Tang Qing had already heard about this matter from Yuan Lin when he was in Shang Qingzong last night, so there was no surprise.
"However, things are not that simple. It seems quite complicated. I just don't know how Shang Qingzong will deal with it. The only thing we can do now is to obey the arrangement and enter Shangqingzong when the seal is lifted tomorrow." After a pause, Fang Kui said again, "Brother Tang, are you really planning to join the Shang Qing sect?"
Tang Qing nodded. His identity as a Sanxian cannot be revealed, and now he can only join the Shangqing Sect as Tang Qing to pay off his debts. 293 "If brother Tang is willing, he can join us in the sect tomorrow. If there is a chance then, I will definitely recommend you to Dazong. I don't know what brother Tang wants."
"So, that would be great."
The fact is just as Fang Kui said, some of the forces that appear in Yanyu County are mostly because of what happened to Gu Ranyan 20 years ago, and they want to take this opportunity to ask for some compensation. A camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Shang Qingzong has only fallen, and has not yet perished, so they have been waiting for other great sects to take the lead. As a result, they have not seen other great sects until now.
Could it be said that the Shang Qingzong had already compensated other great sects twenty years ago? Even if the compensation is paid, the other great sects will not let it go, but almost all practitioners in the world know that the nine sects in the world have been fighting openly and secretly. Now that they have such a good opportunity to attack the Qing sect, will they give up
