Qiu Yutong fell to the ground, staring at the two cut-off swords in disbelief, her whole body froze: "..."
broken
This, this is broken? !
When he was in Shuo Xuecheng that year, he often fought with the third senior brother. He didn't know how many times he stepped on the third senior brother's weak, slender and soft sword "Smoke Wave Green" without breaking it!
Uh, but then again, he was a monk back then, and now this mortal body... could indeed break the sword.
In the torrential rain, Lu Xiao stared blankly at the two broken swords on the ground. The rain was pouring across his young and handsome face, without any expression, leaving a complete blank.
"Your Majesty..." Qiu Yutong swallowed unconsciously, but couldn't think of any words of comfort.
After all, he was the one who broke Ye Yu.
How could he be so unlucky!
Zhang Defu also hurried over, he only glanced at the broken sword on the ground, his chubby face turned pale, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Lu Xiao didn't seem to have heard of everything around him, he stood there for a moment, then knelt down extremely slowly.
Kneeling in the icy rain, he carefully picked up the two broken swords.
"No, no..." His hands trembled involuntarily, trying to join the two broken swords together, but since the sword is broken, how can they be joined together
Lu Xiao knelt in the heavy rain, fighting in vain for a long time, and finally found that this night rain would never be able to fight again.
The night rain dyed the sky blue... The sky water blue had already left with that person, and the night rain finally stopped.
He has nothing left.
"Why, why..." Lu Xiao squeezed the two severed swords tightly, trembling wetly, the look of extreme distress and despair made people almost unbearable.
Ye Yu's sword blade was very sharp, and he had cut his palm long ago. Thick and warm blood slowly slid down the blade, mixed with the dirty blood color of the rain, but he seemed to feel no pain at all. .
There was silence all around, only the sound of the rain.
No one dared to say a word.
As the culprit, Qiu Yutong really felt a little guilty. He hesitated for a moment, and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, don't do this. This sword is just an ordinary low-grade spirit sword. In the hidden sword pavilion in the capital, such There are as many spirit swords as you want, and you can buy them for a few hundred taels of silver, they are worthless."
"What did you say?" Lu Xiao raised his head extremely slowly, staring at Qiu Yutong with bloodshot eyes, and paused every word.
That extremely terrifying cold gaze made Qiu Yutong almost shudder, and he took a step back involuntarily.
"Drag this slut into the Punishment Department and give him eighty sticks first." Lu Xiao said softly.
Qiu Yutong: "..."
It's just a worthless broken sword, so what? !
Moreover, he didn't do it on purpose!
"I didn't do it on purpose..." Before he had time to defend himself, two burly guards came up, covered his mouth, and dragged him away unceremoniously.
…
The execution room of the Punishment Division was cold and damp.
"Snapped--"
With the sound of a crisp stick, Qiu Yutong couldn't help trembling.
The old eunuch who was imprisoning the sentence dragged out his tone: "Thirty-nine—"
Qiu Yutong lay weakly on the execution platform, feeling as if she wanted to cry but had no tears. When I first started beating, my back and buttocks were still sore, but now, I don't feel much anymore.
He reckoned that a layer of flesh and blood had probably been smashed.
He may be the unluckiest and most humiliating master in the world.
A faint "da-da-" sound came from the ear, which was the sound of blood dripping from the edge of the execution platform.
"Crack—" Another click.
"Hmm..." Qiu Yutong bit her lower lip tightly, trying to stay awake. In fact, this little flesh injury was really nothing to his soul, but his body was too delicate, so it would be a bit embarrassing to continue beating like this.
Lu Xiao didn't want to kill him, did he
Just for a cheap low-grade spirit sword
"Crack-crack-"
One stick after another fell heavily, as if it would never end, perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Qiu Yutong gradually became a little confused...
…
I don't know how long it took, a familiar and long-lost feeling slowly surged up, and some kind of cool and faint breath flowed into the body along the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
breath... aura...
Qiu Yutong suddenly shuddered and suddenly woke up.
How could he feel the aura
This body is not enlightened, is it
There are hundreds of acupoints all over the surface of a mortal's body, and when the acupoints are opened, they become spiritual orifices. The spiritual orifice can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, store it in the sea of qi in the dantian, turn it into its own spiritual power, and finally form a yuan pill.
This process is the process of cultivating the Tao.
Could it be that this body has opened up at the moment of life and death
After Qiu Yutong realized it, she couldn't help being overjoyed.
He tried several times before, trying to enlighten this body, but failed. But now at this critical moment of life and death, he unintentionally opened up his spiritual aperture! Sure enough, it is intentional to plant flowers and the flowers will not bloom, but unintentional to plant willows and willows to make shade! He can embark on the road of proving the Tao again!
At this time, the eunuch who was executing the execution behind seemed afraid of killing him, the board became lighter and lighter, and the coolness of Baihui acupoint gradually weakened, and the spirit orifice began to close again.
How did this work? !
If the spiritual orifice is closed halfway, it will never be opened again in this life!
Qiu Yutong became anxious immediately.
Suppressing the severe pain in his back, he turned his head to look at the eunuch who was being executed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Eunuch, can I trouble you to use some strength? It's like scratching an itch!"
The strong eunuch who was executing the sentence had never encountered such a situation, he was stunned, and looked at the old eunuch with some uncertainty.
The old prison eunuch widened his small cloudy and yellow eyes, and his sharp voice suddenly increased: "There is such a rampant person! Hit, hit our family hard!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Qiu Yutong said happily.
"You, you... are so arrogant! Hit me! Hit me!" The old eunuch pointed at him tremblingly, his face trembling with anger.
…
After a meal, Qiu Yutong felt that the whole body was about to fall apart. There was not a piece of intact flesh on the back, buttocks, and two thighs, only a hideous mess of blood and flesh remained.
The pain returned to the pain, but he was extremely happy in his heart - this meal was indeed not in vain, the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head has been completely opened up.
"Since the fight is over, let Master Xuerong come down." The old eunuch said in a strange way.
"Wuuuuuuuu, sir, son..." Xiao Xizi sobbed while helping Qiu Yutong off the execution platform.
Qiu Yutong gritted her teeth tightly, trying to hold on to Xiao Xizi, trying to stand up, but her thighs were trembling, and she slid down with all her strength, and her feet were dripping with blood.
"My lord, my lord, let's go back, let's go back to the Emerald Courtyard, we won't stay here anymore, woo woo woo..." Xiao Xizi cried so hard that he was about to die.
The old eunuch sneered: "So you want to go back now? Your Majesty said, after the beating, let your young master kneel at the entrance of the Jingxin Hall, and reflect on yourself!"
"My lord, you look like this, why, how can you still kneel? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"It's okay, don't cry, just kneel." Qiu Yutong didn't care, anyway, he had just opened up and needed to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so it was better outside.
Besides, the senior brother who is in charge of the sect punishes people to sit quietly on the cliff of Wenjian Cliff. After three years of starting, there is no ceiling.
It's just that this body was so injured that he couldn't stand up. In the end, Qiu Yutong had to lie on Xiao Xizi's back, and let Xiao Xizi carry him to the gate of the Jingxin Hall, and then knelt down on the hard bluestone floor.
Those who were punished to kneel were naturally not allowed to be served, so Xiao Xizi had no choice but to leave crying.
It was dinner time at this time, and some eunuchs and court ladies passed by one after another, some whispered in surprise, some shook their heads lightly, and some gloated and pointed, but none of these palace people dared to stay too For a long time, it did not form a tragic situation of being watched by the crowd.
The sky gradually darkened, and the number of people gradually decreased.
Qiu Yutong took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and began to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
The world of the human world is no different from the realm of cultivation, the aura is very thin, after a full hour, Qiu Yutong only absorbed a trace of aura. He was a little frustrated, but he was not discouraged, and continued to absorb the spiritual energy.
I don't know how long it took, but the aura gradually became stronger.
Qiu Yutong was a little puzzled, and then her face turned slightly cold.
He froze for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, and looked up.
Snowflakes all over the sky, like light and pure white feathers, sprinkled from the night sky one after another.
This is the first snow this year.
The first snow, the snow with the most aura.
Looking at the heavy snow, Qiu Yutong let out a sigh of relief, feeling very emotional in her heart.
He has been out of luck recently, so it’s fine if he fails to ascend, and he has become the boy’s favorite boy... After being unlucky for so long, Tiandao finally opened his eyes. Time, ushered in the first snow time of the year, the most aura in the human world.
The snow fell harder and harder.
Gradually, the sky became darker and darker, and lanterns were placed on both sides of the gate of the meditation hall.
Qiu Yutong lowered her eyes, quietly absorbing the spiritual energy in Chuxue, feeling the strands of spiritual energy entering the spiritual orifice, and after swimming through the eight meridians, entering the sea of qi in the dantian, and finally turning it into her own spiritual power .
Snowflakes fluttered and fell on his cheeks and neck, bringing a slight chill, but Qiu Yutong didn't care anymore.
Suddenly, the snowflakes stopped, and a shadow fell on the snow in front of me.
Qiu Yutong raised her head and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
Liu Bitao was standing in front of him holding an oil-paper umbrella, and she looked like she was about to cry: "How could this be? Don't His Majesty love you very much?"
"..." Qiu Yutong didn't know how to answer, he coughed lightly, and reluctantly explained, "Ahem, anyway, I did something wrong, it's okay to kneel down, it should be. Don't worry about me, get out of the way Bar."
Get out of the way quickly, and don't disturb him from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
This is the most precious first snow, there is only one like this every year!
Liu Bitao's eyes widened, as if she was looking at a fool: "Your brain is frozen? If you kneel like this again, not to mention your legs will be crippled, even your life will be lost!"
Qiu Yutong just wanted him to go away quickly: "All of you... ahem, don't you have a saying that thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace. You go, leave me alone."
"You, you!" Liu Bitao stomped his feet resentfully, and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "What kind of grace, such a kindness, I don't think so! Let's go, let's beg Your Majesty, it's a big deal." No more, to save yourself from these little troubles..."
"Don't go!" Qiu Yutong was nailed to the snow like a weight, refusing to get up even if she was beaten to death.
While the two were arguing, his chest suddenly stagnated slightly, and a very familiar chilly air slowly seeped out from his dantian in his heart, as well as his limbs and bones... It was so cold.
The damned cold poison, how can I not die, it broke out at this time!
"Hmm..." Qiu Yutong gritted her teeth for a moment, and finally her eyes darkened, and she fell limply.
In a daze, Liu Bitao's panicked voice was next to my ear: "What's wrong with you? Xuerong! Xuerong! Come on! Come on!"
