[Ancient Sword] Old dreams are picturesque

Early the next morning, Ling Yue took his two juniors down the mountain.When going down the mountain, Baili Tusu was having morning class, and Ling Yue looked at a certain direction from a distance, with extremely complicated emotions.

Ling Yun called him, and he came back to his senses and went down the mountain with everyone.The purpose of this trip was to go to a relatively remote barren mountain to strengthen the seal, even if a cultivator like Lingyue rushed there, it would be five days later.Tianyong City has always been famous for its sealing and unsealing techniques, but it did not expect that the disciples traveling in the lower mountains would make mistakes that even beginner disciples would not make, thus breaking the seal.

According to the description of the traveling disciples, he strayed into the barren mountain with another Taoist priest who claimed to be practicing Taoism, and even accidentally touched the mechanism on the mountain.The wandering disciple and the Taoist priest could barely seal the ghost energy on the mountain so that it would not leak out again, but they could not do anything to strengthen the seal again, so they had to write a letter to ask for the assistance of the master.

This is a serious matter, and the head of the sect immediately assigned Ling Yue to deal with it.According to Lingyue's knowledge, the barren mountain is remote and rarely inhabited, and the seal on the mountain was set by an uncle himself 30 years ago.All the disciples in the sect knew about this, so why did the traveling disciple break the seal knowingly?

It wasn't until he arrived at the barren mountain that Ling Yue realized that the matter was far more serious than what was stated in the letter.The seal was located on the top of the barren mountain. After the seal was broken, the ghost energy began to spread everywhere, from the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.The traveling disciple——Ling Mu threw himself on Ling Yue with tears in his eyes when he saw Ling Yue.

Ling Yue supported his forehead with a headache, and then it took a lot of effort to tear Ling Mu off his body, but Ling Mu still looked like he had been wronged.

Don't believe it, the baby-faced man in front of you is a few years older than Lingyue. According to his previous generation, he is naturally Lingyue's junior, but for Baili Tusu and Fuqu, he is indeed brother.

Not to mention Baili Tusu, even Fu Que didn't know there was such a senior brother.

Back then, Ling Mu went up the mountain alone to search for immortals and asked, but he only stayed up the mountain for a few months, during which time Ling Mu was the most familiar with Ling Yue, who took care of him.It’s just that Ling Mu was taken down the mountain by a person who claimed to be Ling Mu’s elder brother before he formally became a teacher. Later, I heard that he had been practicing at the foot of the mountain, and he would only return to Tianyong City once in a few years, and it was many years ago. It's time.

There were not many people who knew about the events back then, but those who knew knew that the events of the year were so uproarious that they couldn't laugh or cry.Ling Mu secretly went up the mountain with his family behind his back because he admired Ziyin's real name, but he didn't expect that his brother would come and take him back after only running away from home for a few months.

His savagely dressed brother was holding his collar, while apologizing to the head of the house with a hypocritical smile, he also said that the family education is not strict, and he will be disciplined strictly in the future.When he was escorted home by his elder brother, he still yelled 'I don't want to go back to study business' in a very imageless way...

Before going down the mountain, the sect leader felt that he was destined to be with this child. Although he was only a nominal disciple in Tianyong City, he still gave him a scroll that recorded the sword skills of Tianyong City as a token of his affection.

The last time Ling Mu returned to Tianyong City, Ling Yue knew that Ling Mu had fought for a long time at home to force his brother to agree to him to practice swordsmanship at home, and he was finally allowed to go out to practice. Unfortunately, he had to find Ling Yue to clean up the mess.

The disciples who followed Ling Yue got started early, and they had heard about Ling Mu more or less, but they never thought that the senior brother who was rumored to be extremely gifted in swordsmanship and almost entered the sect of the elder who held the sword would be such a... childish People... always feel that they should be more chivalrous...

While narrating the incident, Ling Mu begged Ling Yue not to tell his brother about it, for fear that his brother would ground him if he found out.

Ling Yue listened, but looked past him to the silent but intimidating man who had been leaning against the tree not far away.Just casually and immediately revealing a coercive aura, this guy Ling Mu seems to have provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked.The man was wrapped in a black robe, with his arms folded, he looked gloomyly in the direction of the mountain top, wondering what he was thinking.

"Then why did you come here, and why did you break the seal?" Ling Yue asked directly.

Ling Mu lowered his head with a guilty face, and said falteringly, "Wen Lie said that he came to find something very important, so...so...that's right! Brother, let me introduce you, this is Xia Wenlie, He is also a Taoist priest who eliminates demons."

A Taoist who eliminates demons...?No matter how you look at it, this person doesn't look like a demon exorcist, but people should not be judged by their appearance.Ling Yue took a step forward and cupped his hands, "I'm Xia Ling Yue, under the gate of Tianyong City in Kunlun Mountains. I don't know where Brother Xia's apprenticeship is?"

Xia Wenlie raised his eyes and glanced at him, his voice was low and completely emotionless, "It's just an idler."

"Excuse me for being troublesome, I don't know what the purpose of Brother Xia's trip is...?"

After a moment of silence, Xia Wenlie seemed to be deliberating. After thinking for a long time, he said slowly, "The one sealed here is the soul of my brother Liuyun."

Ling Yue's heart trembled, the one sealed here was a ghost who became a ghost 30 years ago, how could it be his younger brother?

As if seeing Lingyue's doubts, Xia Wenlie also straightforwardly revealed his identity, "I am not a human, but a demon. I was hunted down by my fellow clan when I was young, and after losing my strength, I could only maintain a baby state and live in the world. It was my mother who brought me back, Liuyun is my mother's son..."

Xia Wenlie said in a low tone, "It was I who harmed him...and I came here to settle this matter..."

Seeing that Ling Mu was not surprised at all, he knew that he already knew his identity, but the two accompanying disciples were taken aback.The demons are arrogant by nature and have little contact with humans and monsters. The records about the demons can only be found in some books.

Even Lingyue, after living for so long, was only the first time he met the demons.Although I don't follow the saying that 'people who are not of my race will have different hearts', but after all, the other party is a demon race, so it is necessary to be vigilant.

When talking about his younger brother, Xia Wenlie's expression seemed to soften a little, but gradually his eyes became long and long, as if he was recalling, and finally all the softness turned into cruelty.

"Liuyun was originally a very kind person. Even though he later found out that I was just a wild child picked up by the side of the road, he never spoke ill of me. At that time, I lost all my strength and was still unable to speak at the age of five. The village All the children in the village would throw stones at me, but Liu Yun would hold my hand and avoid everyone. I just didn’t expect to end up like this in the end..."

Ling Mu tilted his head and looked at him. This was the first time he had heard him mention something about his younger brother.Maybe it's because of asking for others, and compared with the indifference of the previous few days, his attitude is softer now.He really wanted to know what happened to Liu Yun, why he turned into a ghost and was sealed in this desolate forest.

Thinking of this, Ling Mu really asked the question.

Xia Wenlie was stunned for a moment, but remained silent.

The atmosphere became awkward in an instant. Ling Mu felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he slumped to Ling Yue's side in desperation, pulled Ling Yue's sleeve and said cautiously, "Brother, Wen Lie wants to bring Liu Yun's soul out. , let him go to reincarnation. But I am not good at academics, so..." Ling Mu scratched his head very guilty, he had only achieved a little success in swordsmanship, as for the art of sealing... he really only learned trivial things ...

Ling Yue pondered, the purpose of this trip was to strengthen the seal, if it can be resolved peacefully, it would be a good way.

"If you want your brother's soul to be able to reincarnate, I'm afraid there is no other way than letting him untie his knots. But to find his soul, you have to go deep into this mountain..." Ling Yue stopped After coming down, he thought for a while and said to the two juniors who came with him, "You two and Ling Mu stay at the foot of the mountain, and Brother Xia and I can just enter the mountain."

"Huh...? No way!" Ling Mu stared at him with wide eyes, obviously disapproving of Ling Yue's arrangement, "Why do you keep me outside! I can protect myself!"

Shaking his head helplessly, the mountain is full of ghosts and evil spirits, Ling Yue naturally doesn't want this half-baked Ling Mu to take risks.In the end, I had to find a reason to keep him at the foot of the mountain. "The ghostly aura in this mountain is gradually spreading. You and your two juniors stayed at the foot of the mountain to strengthen the outer barrier. This is very important. A slight mistake will lead to the destruction of life in this square inch."

Although he still wanted to say something, but seeing Ling Yue's serious expression, he didn't dare to refute, so he agreed in a low voice.Then, while talking carefully, he watched the figures of the two enter the barren mountain.

It wasn't until he reached the depths of the forest that Xia Wenlie said in a low voice, "Thank you." He didn't expect Ling Yue to believe him so easily. After all, he is not a human being. Even if he doesn't believe him, he can understand. It is not without reason to say that one's heart must be different.

"It's not entirely for helping you. The seal is broken. In order not to harm the innocent people nearby, it is natural to strengthen the seal. If this ghostly ghost can be enlightened, it will naturally be good news for this surrounding area."

With a low laugh, Xia Wenlie said, "You really deserve to be a cultivator. With such a chivalrous heart, I'm afraid he will be used by others in the future."

What Xia Wenlie said had some deep meaning, Ling Yue just shook his head and said lightly, "If you are afraid of being used by others, then abandoning others is not the way of my subordinates, and it is also against the teaching of the teacher. The whole life of cultivating the Tao is only to maintain the inner heart" Dao', on the premise of not violating the principle, I shall do my best to help."

"Heh—" Although Lingyue's words sounded really funny to him, he also admired them. People who have the courage to bear everything are worthy of respect, no matter whether the other party is a small human like a mayfly or not.

The nature of demons is selfish, in order not to harm their own interests, they will kill all factors that may betray them.It seems that he is selfish and narrow, but this human being is very broad-minded.
