(701 In the past, people were fierce and violent, but now they are dying)
After Lian Ling entered the Five Elements Sect, he was not in a hurry to make a move, but stayed quietly for a few days to familiarize himself with the environment within the Five Virtues Temple. It was a few days before she decided to get moving.
She'd been here years ago, but it'd been so long that everything had come to an end.
She remained invisible at all times. As long as she walked slowly, without using her mana, or using too much qi and blood, it would be impossible for others to see her.
The lush pavilion shrouded by the overlapping and flourishing green pine foliage, with only a corner of the cornice peeking out between the foliage, had already appeared in front of her eyes. This attic belonged to Kong Du, the head of the Five Elements Sect Mudeok Academy, and was his residence and place of practice.
This made Lian Ling suddenly remember that she was in chaos when she was fourteen years old. One day, my sister Lian Ping was only four years old, and she was only at the age when she could cry and shout. Her home was destroyed by the war, and all that remains in her memory are fragments of the ruins. But the feeling of running in the wilderness with her sister in her arms is extraordinarily clear, like yesterday.
At that time, she wanted to run into the dense forest. But weeds and thorns made it impossible for her to settle down. She could only run along the wide road. Although she knew it was just in vain. But she still kept running.
The gang of scoundrels who chased them were on horseback. Those people were originally just ordinary soldiers, but after experiencing blood and fire in this war, they became cannibalistic beasts.
They galloped behind her, and with ease they caught up, and then laughed behind her, and whipped them from their horses. She is like a rabbit chased by wolves and has nowhere to run.
But when they surrounded her, they did not kill her immediately, nor did they snatch her sister, but after a flurry of whipping, they let go of the encirclement.
"Run, run, run!" they cried out hoarsely, pointing to the breach in the encirclement.
She didn't hesitate, ran out of the encirclement with her sister in her arms, and continued to run wildly towards the road, as if she wanted to squander all her strength and hope, so that she didn't have to think about what to do. After a few breaths, the centaurs surrounded them again.
She was in rags and seemed to be running out of strength, gasping for breath on the ground as if she had given up all hope.
It wasn't so much that they were chasing her, but that they enjoyed watching her run in a panic. The reason why she didn't snatch her sister was because she wanted her to continue running wild without giving up hope.
"Run, can't run, then I'll kill this kid first!" A strong man stabbed the tip of his spear at her crying four-year-old sister, who laughed wildly.
Obviously, her physical strength has been exhausted, and she doesn't know where she got the strength, so she picked up her sister and ran again.
"Ou Yo! Ou Yo!" Seeing the game start again, these pursuers couldn't help but shout like monsters with excitement in their hearts, and chased after them again.
She ran barefoot through the path with many sharp gravels, but she felt no pain. Her body was covered in blood from the thick thorns on the side of the road, and the cold sunlight shone overhead, leaving an increasingly distorted shadow in front of her eyes on the rough road.
I can't run anymore, so I guess I'm going to die. Poor sister, there will be no one to protect you in the future. Although she hasn't let go yet, she has already given up in her heart.
But that's when the miracle she will never forget.
A burst of coercion that suffocated her came over the surface, like a tidal wave. If it weren't for the fact that the tide had spiritually separated and bypassed her, she would have been washed away like a leaf in a flood and went nowhere.
At this time, she did not look at the source of the tide, but she couldn't help but look back at the back of this strange tide surging away. The roadside, which was originally paved with gravel and overgrown with weeds, surged countless green rays for no reason, and many green vines like snakes came out of the ground and entangled the legs of the villains.
The horses were blocked by their front legs and instantly flipped forward. And the people above rolled forward like puppets with broken strings and fell to the ground. A few people immediately fell and didn't move, but a few struggled to get up. But the plants grew and tangled, and soon they were so strong that they could not move.
A strong wind blew in the dense forest in front of her, causing her body to tremble for a while, and her long hair to fly wildly. The dense forest, which resembles a thick green wall, swells like a big wave, and then naturally separates on both sides. In the flickering green light between the separated spaces, a middle-aged Taoist walked out.
He was tall, like a tall aspen tree, wearing a blue robe with wide sleeves, a pure yang scarf on his head, and a pair of swords shining with blue light on the hilt of the sword behind his shoulder. A pair of sword eyebrows were raised like sharp blades, and his gaze swept over, as if his appearance alone could drive away all the ghosts.
In Lian Ling's heart at that time, he was really a god.
Although some of the ** on the ground are entangled, they can still make a sound. Someone immediately shouted arrogantly, "Bastard, do you know who we are?" and others began to plead. When this Taoist saw the armor on their bodies, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes. But after only a moment, his eyes became cold.
"The general of the defeated army can only oppress women and children, damn it!"
He coldly spat out these words, and then the blue light of his palms shone brightly. As if he had been called, all the plants and trees on the ground "melted" into a green flame like a phantom. The flames were quickly engulfed by the entangled soldiers.
They let out an extremely twisted roar with the last remnants of their strength, and then everything fell silent, the green fire was extinguished, and the men disappeared with their horses and clothing.
This Taoist is none other than Kong Du, the elder of the Jade Palace and the later dean of the Five Elements Sect.
If you do the math, it would have been ninety-eight years ago. Lian Ling was fifteen years old that year, and now she is one hundred and thirteen years old. But for Monk Jindan to live for at least three hundred years, and sometimes four hundred years, she is still very young before she is more than half of her life.
But the handsome man who was like a god in her eyes was no longer young now.
Kong Du took her and Lian Ping back to the Jade Palace as she wished, but did not accept her as a disciple as she expected. Instead, he recommended her to his senior sister Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun is a very good master, but her qualifications and understanding are far inferior to Kong Du. She was never able to break through the Purple Mansion and died after thirty years.
Lian Ling has always been a little puzzled, that is, why the uncle of the Purple Mansion, whom she admires the most, refuses to accept her as a disciple. At first, she thought that she was so talented that she couldn't get into the eyes of this uncle.
Therefore, she held her breath and cultivated. I didn't expect her to be amazingly talented. At the age of fifteen, he began to build the foundation, and at the age of twenty-four, he achieved the Void Dan. At the age of thirty-two, he achieved the Purple Mansion, and he was unprecedentedly unprecedented!
Since her roots and bones are excellent, it is impossible not to see the hole at that time. There are probably only two reasons why he didn't accept her as a disciple.
Some male cultivators are reluctant to accept female disciples, so as not to cause trouble by implicating karma. Kong Du's personal disciple is the Ghost Xuanyin Wu Academy, and the five people in the entire Wu Academy are all male cultivators.
There is also a greater possibility that Kong Du himself is a Yao person, so he is only willing to accept Yao people as a disciple. His proud disciple Ghost Xuanyin is Yaoren, and Wang Xuanfeng of the same Wuyuan is also Yaoren.
Lian Ling, Mu Jia, Huo Yun and others are a Wu Yuan, and there is no Yao person in the entire Wu Yuan. In fact, this is not surprising, Yao people are pampered and pampered, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to endure hardships and cultivate mysteries.
Probably because of this, she was destined to have no master and apprentice with this elder who was like a god in her heart.
She has also been to the Green Pavilion. Decades later, the scenery is still the same, almost unchanged from what she remembers. The cobblestone path through the grass in front of the door seemed to get narrower and shorter.
Lin Mei'er respectfully handed over Yu Qin's identity card in front of her, and said without changing her face: "Yu Qin, a disciple of Shuide Academy, please ask Shuimu to escape the method and ask to see Elder Mude." ”
The inner disciple directly asked the dean for Taoist advice, although this was a little abrupt, but in the Five Elements Sect, it was also unavoidable.
It's just that the inner disciples don't necessarily be able to see the dean if they want to see it. It's nothing more than that after coming to the door, the dean is in retreat, or going out, or busy with other things, please wait in the concierge. This wait is endless, and then the disciple knows that he has no chance, so he will leave on his own.
Sure enough, the inside replied, "The elder is out, and I don't know when he will come back." If you are willing to wait, you can come in and wait, and if you don't want to wait, please come back next time. ”
That's what Lin Mei'er wants. She immediately smiled obediently and said, "The disciple is willing to wait." She finished speaking, and a voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
At this moment, the prohibition on the entrance was opened. Lin Mei'er walked into the door unhurriedly, and Lian Ling quietly followed behind her into the ban.
