Deadly Merry [Rebirth]

In the year of Kuimao, Yuxu seemed to be no different from usual.

Only Wu Bian knew how many new disciples Xiaoxia had recruited in the past few years to expand its power.In the past, Yuxu was a deserted place for cultivating Taoism, but now the number of people has gradually increased, and it always seems a bit noisy and crowded.But most of the people are very busy, almost no one has the leisure time to pay attention to the crowd like Wu Bian.

The elixir shop sent a large number of rough-made elixir. Wu Bian stood at the side of His Highness, silently dividing the elixir into portions, and prepared to deliver them to all the disciples later.

Xiaoxia sat in the upper seat, resting her chin on her palm, her tone seemed tired: "Is the medicinal material enough?"

Wu Bian didn't stop tidying up, and replied, "I heard from Elder Qianyang that it's not enough."

"...If you don't have enough, go to Taofeng Ridge to dig."

"Master, in the past two years, Taofeng Ridge has almost been hollowed out." Wu Bian sighed.

"Empty is empty, it has already been dug like this, we can't stop at this time."

"What I mean is, if you finish this batch for them, don't give them any more." Wu Bian picked up a box of elixir, "Although this thing can catalyze the surge of their internal cultivation, but in the end It will cause damage to the body, after beating Qingqiu, they still have to live normally, right?"

Xiaoxia didn't answer, and after a while, she changed the subject, "Is Yi'er all right?"

"...The head still cares about her."

"The few apprentices I recruited in the past few years, although their talents are already among the dragons and phoenixes, they are still not as good as Yi'er's roots. Sometimes I teach them, and I always feel dissatisfied. In the past, what Yi'er could learn in a day, they It takes four or five days to learn, and there is no one who can take the lead.” Xiaoxia sat up and rubbed her eyebrows, “I really want to give up on her, but it is true that no one can surpass her, she is locked there It has been two or three years, and I should have figured out a lot of things. If you have time, help me to have a look. If she is sincere, it is not impossible to use her again."

"Use?" Wu Bian couldn't help smiling wryly, "Is the word 'use' the only thing that the sect master can talk about with her?"

"Why, the guardian has other ideas?" Xiaoxia stared at Wu Bian coldly, "You have to understand, no matter what I do, it is all for this Yuxu. Right now, the Palace of Ziqing is putting pressure on the side every day, and the guardian The mountain god went to Penglai Immortal Island again, if I don't use some tricks, can I just watch Yuxu fall like this?"

"What does it mean to be defeated? It's just that the status is not as good as before, and no one will let us practice Taoism, and the disciples in the sect will not lose a piece of meat."

"How can the foundation passed down by the patriarch be destroyed in the hands of my generation of masters? In the future, I will rise up through the catastrophe and meet the patriarch. What face do I have?" Xiaoxia closed her eyes, "You don't sit in my position , naturally don’t understand the idea of ​​this position.”

Wu Bian knew that he had said a lot of things beyond the distance, and he couldn't say any more, so he shut up.

After he came out of the main hall of the sect master, he prepared a lot of daily necessities, packed them, and carried them to the direction of the forbidden cave.

I haven't seen Yi'er for a long time.

In fact, he still remembers the person who was chained to the gate of the forbidden cave, but Xiaoxia had given a clear order that he was not allowed to visit at will, and even the area of ​​the forbidden cave was not allowed to go beyond.Before, Fengxue went there secretly a few times, and after being caught, she was punished to kneel for three whole days and received twenty blows of the stick. Since then, no one dared to go there again.

No one brought her food or water. Some disciples said that she survived by eating plant ash and snow water.

When seeing her again, Wu Bian almost didn't recognize her.

Ming Yi was holding a book to read something, her face and body were very thin, especially on the exposed wrist, the skin was already tight on the bones, and with a slight movement, the movement and involvement of the bones could be seen.There was no blood on her face, the skin on the sides of her face and around her eyes was almost transparent, and the tiny blue-purple blood vessels densely covered under the skin could be seen.As for the clothes on her body, it was black or white, it was full of dust and stains, and the surface was covered with velvet.

Seeing Wu Bian coming, her expression didn't fluctuate too much, the eyes that moved from the book to Wu Bian's face were like a pool of stagnant water, with a lifeless look.

It stands to reason that after not seeing anyone for such a long time, there should be some disturbances.

"Yi'er." Wu Bian didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, but when he called her name, endless bitterness surged in his heart.

Ming Yi nodded, "Master."

"I haven't come to see you, these two years..." Wu Bian felt his nose a little sour, "You..."

She didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly.

Wu Bian sighed, "Are you okay?"

"What day is today?" Ming Yi suddenly asked.

"...Guimao year, the first day of September. What's the matter?"

She lowered her head and flipped through the notebook in her hand, muttering in a low voice: "Oh, I didn't remember the wrong date."

"what?"

"It's nothing, there is a very important day, and it will be over soon." Ming Yi's voice was always very soft, sounding weak and about to collapse, "It's good that she never came again."

Wu Bian didn't know what she was talking about, so she could only say: "Recently, the head of the sect has missed you, you have been punished here for so many years, do you know that you are wrong? If you know your mistake, follow me back to the main hall, and be more obedient in the future, the head of the house The seat of the eldest disciple is still yours."

"Uncle, I don't want to practice Taoism anymore."

"What nonsense, you are born to cultivate the Tao."

Ming Yi paused, "I can't help it."

"This remark makes the master feel so chilled, don't say it again."

Ming Yi didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she said again: "In the past few years, you haven't come to see me, and you haven't come to see the demon in the forbidden cave. You say that the demon in the forbidden cave is very important, but you don't care about her at all. , her blood has stained the land red, and you don't go in to see if she is dead."

Wu Bian's heart tightened, and he looked at the forbidden cave, thinking of the person inside, he swallowed his saliva.

"You have also said before that I am important. Didn't you just throw it away when you want to, pick it up when you want, it's no different from treating a cold object. I don't think about the days when I don't even care how I live. Now But suddenly he changed his face and asked me to go back and take the high position again." Ming Yi smiled softly, "It's really a bustling world, it's all for profit, and it's all for profit."

As soon as Wu Bian heard it, he knew that the previous tricks could no longer fool Mingyi, but he didn't want to just watch her continue to suffer here. Such a life is much better.

"Yi'er, since you've seen through some things, let's explain them clearly. The head of the sect did not do well in some areas, but he never had any bad intentions. He just wanted to glorify the sect. You become In this way, he is ruthless, but you did do wrong things before. Besides, the leader has been kind to you for raising you and teaching you for so many years. If it weren't for him, you would have died in troubled times. He is just If you want to support someone to take over Yuxu well, even if he just wants to use you, you should return his kindness, right?"

Mingyi's eyes turned red, "I will pay it back."

"So you promised to go back?"

Ming Yi lowered her head, she suddenly felt that she was very unlucky and owed others her whole life.Owing to Xiaoxia, to Yuxu, to Tu Jiuer, to Qingqiu, she clearly has no intention of harming others, but she is always repaying the debts she owes for others.

During the silence, a person rushed towards Wu Bian from a distance, and shouted to Wu Bian in a panic: "Dharma protector, something big happened at the gate of the mountain, and the head of the sect calls you back urgently!"

Wu Bian frowned, not quite willing to interrupt the conversation with Ming Yi, and replied, "What's the matter? It was fine half an hour ago."

"The disciple doesn't know. It's an urgent matter. The head of the sect called Elder Qianyang and Elder Li Chengen away."

Xiaoxia has summoned Qian Yang and Li Chengan, it seems that it is indeed a big deal, Yuxu has been really not peaceful for the past two years.

Wu Bian pulled out his long sword, cut off the iron lock on Mingyi's ankle, and persuaded: "Yi'er, come with me, if the headmaster can see you at this time, he will be very pleased."

Ming Yi was in a trance for a long time, and then slowly stood up with difficulty, just standing upright was a little wobbly.She didn't want to leave this place at first, but after what Wu Bian said just now, she had to go again, and her heart felt chilly.

Seeing her compromise, Wu Bian felt somewhat at ease, took out a cloak from the package and put it on Ming Yi, and asked the disciple to help her walk to the main hall.

Seeing this situation, the man knew that the situation had changed, so he hurried over to help Ming Yi's arm, and said respectfully, "Elder Sister."

Ming Yi ignored him.

The three of them walked for a while before arriving at their destination. Ming Yi's body was very weak, and she coughed all the way, giving the illusion that time was running out.When Wu Bian arrived in front of the gate, before he could step in, he heard a few unclear words from the door:

"I don't understand. If Qionghua missed the news, why didn't they come in the year of Gengzi and have to wait until now?"

"Is it important who said it? Anyway, now that Qingqiu already knows about it, they will come looking for it right away. It's okay if only the Yaozun is alarmed. Qingqiu is now married to the God Realm. If the God Realm also ..."

"Impossible. Although our Yuxu belongs to the mortal world, we are directly related to the fairy world. The God Realm will not send troops to offend the fairy world just because of a fox demon."

"I still want to know, how did Qingqiu know about this? It's so strange."

"That's not what Qionghua said."

"Impossible, apart from the few of us, only Qionghua knows that Tu Jiu'er is locked in the forbidden cave in the back mountain..."

Wu Bian's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath. He hadn't expected this incident to come out in such a way, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Ming Yi beside him.

Mingyi's mind seemed to be in a trance, she didn't stand still, and took a small step, but her eyes were as clear as a dream.
