116|One Night Cold Dew Stealing the Beam

“……”

Although Xie Ren basically did live his life as if he was an impotent man, there was still a fundamental difference between “treating oneself as if one didn’t have that thing” and “really losing that thing forever”. A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on him and he shouted, “Duck!”

As soon as the words fell, the sword abruptly drew away, and Xie Ren grasped the opportunity to move forward. In a flash, he violently pulled Shi Qingxuan again, “Be careful!”

Another sword fell in front of Shi Qingxuan, almost sticking to the top of his head, if not for Xie Ren’s pull, he would have been nailed here on the spot. He was horrified: “Good danger, good danger, how do you know where he is going down?”

Xie Ren said, “I don’t know, guess!” It was also intuition. He had practiced to the point where he could react without using his brain. Immediately after, the second, third, fourth sword also inserted | down, a ray of sharp sword light blocked the three people’s way and retreat. Then “Boom” a loud sound, the upper came from the violent vibration, rustling down dust and debris. Xie Ren said, “There’s a boom up there!”

The rumbling sound is louder than once, the vibration is also bigger than once, obviously a little bit closer than a little bit. Before and after were sharp swords blocking the way, are young sharp top-grade sword, Fang Xin a big old still don’t know if you can be hard, Ming Yi don’t know where to find out a crescent shovel, hard in the narrow space to the other side of the dig up the hole. Teacher Qingxuan on the side of the mouth is about to vomit soul smoke: “Ming brother you in the end line, Ming brother you hurry up okay, all blame you so long have not used this magic treasure, all right more use close to know, you see are rusty into what kind of!!!!!!!!”

In fact, rustiness can be forgiven, there is no way, after all, the entire Upper Heavenly Court in addition to Xie Ren can walk in and out all day with a shovel on his back without a change of color, there really is no other magus who can do this kind of thing. Ming Yi’s forehead veins rippled as he said, “Shut up!!!”

Xie Ren was busy saying, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, it’s through!”

Sure enough, the hole opened up with a push from Ming Yi’s hand. He copied a shovel to frantically open the way in front, Shi Qingxuan was in the center frantically encouraging, Xie Ren as the only one who was not yet frantic was responsible for breaking the back. The Earth Master’s precious shovel was truly magical, just a few times, a dozen feet of tunnel had been dug out again, after a while when they looked back, the hole was gradually closing up, and above the place where they were originally trapped, a faint light was leaking down.

Xie Ren immediately said, “He’s almost through!”

Ming Yi instantly dug more frantically, but suddenly his movements stalled and he looked upwards. Xie Ren also reacted in the same way as him, as they both sensed that above this place was silent and motionless, it should be an empty hall.

Since the tunnel had already been discovered, no matter what, let’s get out first. Ming Yi turned to dig upwards. Shi Qingxuan said, “Are you guys sure that no one will be around when this place is dug out???”

Ming Yi said, “Didn’t hear a sound. Unless it’s sleeping!”

Of course, general magi don’t need to sleep, much less in broad daylight in their own temple, so there should be no such possibility. Who knows, Ming Yi went up with a shovel, the three broke through the ground, and as soon as the three heads poked out, they just took a breath of fresh air and hadn’t even spit it out yet, when they saw a couch set up across the street, and on the couch lay a teenager with all four limbs wide open, sleeping.

Xie Ren: “????”

Is there really a priest who sleeps in his own temple in the middle of the day?

Hearing the commotion, that teenager rolled over and sat up, his head full of curly hair sleeping in disarray, his brows furrowed, scratching his hair, sleepily looking at the three heads on the opposite side of the bed couch, seemingly unable to understand why something like this had appeared in his own temple. All three of them pretended that nothing had happened and hurriedly climbed out of the hole in the ground, who knew that Shi Qingxuan was just about to climb up when he suddenly screamed out, Xie Ren turned around to see that there was actually a hand that had grabbed his ankle.

The owner of that hand was none other than Pei Ming. Even in the tunnels, he was extremely poised as he said, ”I said where did the little mouse come from to burrow under my palace, Qing Xuan, why have you run out? Where is this going to be? Your brother gets angry you know, hurry back before he notices.”

Ruoxi flew out and repelled his hand. Pei Ming leapt out and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Earth Master, do the two of you have nothing better to do, urging the Wind Master to leave his home for no reason, that can’t be justified.”

Xie Ren said, “Although the wind division lord is the water division lord’s younger brother, but ultimately is a magistrate, also has a few hundred years old, General Pei you don’t say that he seems like a three-year-old child in general. Even if we are reasonable, imprisoning an immortal bureaucrat of the Upper Heavenly Court for no reason, how can we say that it is also the Water Master Lord’s side that is more difficult to say.”

If his guess was correct, then the Wind Master really couldn’t stay in the Upper Heavenly Court. Quan Yizhen was staring dully at this side from the couch, seemingly still confused about the situation. Pei Ming raised his sword and stared, “Qiying stop looking, come over and help first, take it down.”

After thinking for a few moments, Kwon Yi-jin did come to help.

He jumped off the couch, swung up the couch he was lying on and smashed it against Pei Ming. Sure enough, he was a helping hand, only, it was a helping hand for Xie Ren and the others. Pei Ming was coldly smashed by a couch, and his entire body was stunned, saying, “Qiying!!!! What are you hitting me for ？？？？”

Quan Yizhen waved his hand at Xie Ren, presumably signaling them to leave quickly. Xie Ren and the others were confused for a moment and hurriedly left. Shi Qingxuan didn’t know if he was injured and had insufficient qi and blood, after running a few steps his face turned blue, Xie Ren helped him, while Ming Yi grabbed him straight over and carried him. Xie Ren put his hand on the door and pulled out two dice, turning back to the teenager, he said, “Thanks a lot!”

Quan Yizhen is still wildly smashing Pei Ming, striking ferociously and without any rules, if not Pei Ming’s ability is not small, another person would have given him this chaotic fighting style smashed head full of blood. Pei Ming smashed his veins straight up and drank: “Guards! Stop people!!!”

Before he shouted for someone to come, Xie Ren threw the dice, opened the door, rushed out, and then closed the door again, which slipped away from the Upper Heavenly Court. However, what he never expected was that after closing the door, and then turning around, what presented itself to him was Hua Cheng, who had one foot on a new merit box, was shirtless, and was wiping off sweat.

“……”

“……”

“……”

A tattered little Bodhisattvas Guan, where can accommodate so many gods, Xie Ren feels about to suffocate. And outside the house there is a ghost possessed in the unconscious howling, making noise: “Valley ~ come over to the father whack legs ~”

It was only after a long time that Hanagi casually threw the Doom that was sharpening the wood and slightly raised one eyebrow, “……?”

His naked half of the body, skin color and lines are very beautiful, eye-catching, shaking Xie Ren’s eyes are going to spend, clearly did not see anything clearly, but can not stop the blood rushing to the eyes black. Xie Ren rolled and crawled to stop in front of him, opening his arms to block Ming Yi and Shi Qing Xuan’s line of sight: “Close your eyes, close your eyes! Quickly close your eyes!”

Those two’s faces were frozen, looking at them with a strange expression. Hua Cheng put his hand on Xie Ren’s shoulder and said in a funny general manner, “…… Brother, what are you nervous about.”

Xie Ren then reacted, yes, why is he nervous? Hua Cheng is not a big girl, what’s wrong with working topless?

But he still didn t put his arms down, covering Hua Cheng as tightly as possible, and said, “Anyway …… you put your clothes on first.”

Hua Cheng shrugged and said, “Well, listen to brother.” After saying that, he calmly took a piece of clothing and put it on slowly and methodically.

Seeing that he is a faction of the tepid and comfortable line of clouds and water, Shi Qingxuan snapped, “That what, bother, I didn t expect you guys …… hahaha, kinda, hahaha. Anyway, hahaha.”

“……” Xie Ren said, “My lord, just say what you have to say, and I can explain clearly if there are any misunderstandings. Don’t replace it with hahaha okay ……”

Time is running out, Pei Ming is afraid to come to check later, Bodhi Capsicum Guan is bound to stay not long, Ming Yi put down Shi Qingxuan on the ground to draw a shrinking thousand miles. Xie Ren was about to ask where they were going when he suddenly heard Hua Cheng sigh behind him.

Remembering his admonition to himself to stay away from Wind Master and the others, Xie Ren couldn’t help but turn around and say, “Sanlang, I’m sorry.”

Hua Cheng had already put his clothes back on and said, “I should have known you wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.”

After a pause, he smiled again, “But why should brother apologize to me? You only remember one thing I said the other day, have you forgotten that I said another thing to you?”

Xie Ren was slightly stunned, thinking, “Which sentence?”

Suddenly, he remembered.

It was the night at the Green Ghost’s lair when Flower City said the words, “You just do it.”

After remembering, Xie Ren blinked. He didn’t know what to say again, only, suddenly very much wanted to do something for Flower City. But for a moment, how could he not find anything he could do, and after holding his breath, he suddenly glanced at the collar of Hua Cheng’s red coat and said, “Wait!”

After saying that, he rushed up to help Hua Cheng straighten his collar. It turned out that just now, Hua Cheng casually wore the clothes and didn’t turn the collar over. After finishing straightening, Xie Ren examined it for a moment and smiled, “It’s done.”

Hanagi smiled back, “Thank you.”

Xie Ren whispered in his heart, “I am.”

The two people over there couldn’t seem to look this way, and even the circle under Ming Yi’s hand wasn’t that round anymore. After he had drawn the formation and opened the door, Xie Ren thought that he would see some eerie cave or lofty palace, but who would have known that outside the door was actually a large expanse of farmland. In the distance were eerie green hills and green bamboos, a group of farmers working sporadically in the fields, and an oily, burly black ox plowing the ground.

In this light, he almost thought that he was still in Bodhi Chestnut Village and couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, while Ming Yi had already carried Shi Qing Xuan on his back and walked out. Before he could take a step, Hua Cheng also went out one step before him.

Four people two by two line in the ridge above, I do not know whether it is an illusion, that black bull seems to have been staring at them. After traveling for a while, found a small hut, four people went in and sat down, Shi Qingxuan then finally exhaled a breath.

Xie Ren said, “No need to run again? In case General Pei arrives here?”

Hua Cheng looked outside for a while, especially at that black bull, closed the door, and said gently, ”Don’t worry. He doesn’t dare to mess with the owner of this place, and he won’t have any good fruit to eat even if he comes. Shui Hengtian won’t act rashly either.”

Xie Ren thought for a moment, but still said, “Sanlang, this is a mess, I’m afraid it involves a lot in the Upper Celestial Court, so you’d better not follow me.”

Hua Cheng, however, laughed, “What happens in the Heavenly Court is none of my business. I’m just following you around casually.”

Suddenly, Shi Qingxuan said, “Don’t follow me, all of you.”

The other three people in the room all looked at him, and Shi Qingxuan said, ”Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, this matter is messy and involves a lot. I’ll just shut this place and not go out. All of you friends don’t need to help anymore, let’s call it a day.”

Xie Ren, however, slowly said, “Master Wind Master, whether or not to stop here, you don’t count, Master Water Master and the White Talking True Immortal count when they say so.”

At those words, Shi Qingxuan’s face stiffened.

Xie Ren added, “Master Wind Master, I’ll ask a question, don’t be offended.”

“What’s the problem?”

Xie Ren said, “You and Lord Shui Shi, is there any handle that that vernacular True Immortal has seized?”

Shi Qingxuan’s face paled slightly.

Originally, on the night of the Wine Pouring Platform, Xie Ren had already set up an extremely solid protective formation, so as long as Shi Qingxuan did not open the door and go out, he would not be victimized. However, why did he take the initiative to open the door?

Unless, of course, someone, when channeling him, throws that handle right out of his mouth the first time he speaks, so that he has no room to resist, and dares not speak out, and is forced to do as the other person instructs.

Xie Ren took a seat at the table and said, “I am more inclined to be the handle of Lord Shui Shi. Because, I believe that whatever originally happened, you originally did not know about it.”

That is why the backlash after being informed was so drastic, to the extent that they resisted the Upper Heavenly Court, preferring to go down to earth to become scattered immortals wandering the path, rather than staying in the Upper Heavenly Court as a Divine Officer.

Ming Yi frowned, “What handle?”

Shi Qingxuan wasn’t an ingrate, if he had been victimized and lost his mana by Yin, the normal reaction would have been to be furious to the core, track down the truth, and violently beat up the real culprit. However, he did not have any of these. He was angry, but not at the White Speech Immortal, but at his own brother. To others, he said, “This is the end of the line”.

This is, of course, completely abnormal, with one exception – the

Shi Qingxuan’s ascension was originally abnormal!

Against the heavens to change the fate of a person who originally could not ascend to the altar of God, this is simply bold, treasonous, Xie Ren has never heard of this kind of thing. If it’s true, it will definitely set off an uproar. Imagine, everyone wants to ascend, everyone can use this kind of means, the order of heaven and earth will not exist, a mess?

This speculation, though unbelievable, became more and more reasonable the more one thought about it. Shi Qingxuan had been entangled by the White Speech True Immortal for many years since the beginning of his birth, and the only way to get rid of it was to ascend, which he happened to actually do. Just within a few short years, a pair of blood brothers had ascended one after another, this was truly a heavenly beauty and a heavenly coincidence.

Xie Ren by no means wanted to question the fact that Master Qingxuan had ascended, but if Master Feng had ascended naturally, how could he have been drained of his magical power so easily? If it was so easy for a demon to turn a Magus into a mortal, there would be no telling how many Magi would have been subjected to such vengeance.

Unless, he was originally mortal. Unless, when the Wind Master ascended, the Water Master moved something unclean.

Smashing heavenly treasures to enhance the path of cultivation is not out of the ordinary. Borrowing the change of power on earth, war and killing and ascension, also not out of the ordinary. After all, the world was originally so, glory is bound to be accompanied by blood, after ascension, a write-off. However, there are things that would be out of the ordinary. If a mortal, or a certain magistrate, in order to let a person ascension, moving the crooked means, make evil law intentionally harm people’s lives, that is very different.

Xie Ren asked in a low voice, “Master Wind Master, the night you ascended, was it a cold dew eve?”

After a long time, Shi Qingxuan took a deep breath and said, “Yes.”

After a pause, Shi Qingxuan added, “That day in Bogu Town, I remembered. The night before the cold dew, isn’t that the same day as my ascension? Originally, I wanted to ask you guys, is this a clue? Could it be related? Is it a coincidence? But I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t ask. Now you know if there is any relationship.”

There’s a connection. Of course it’s relevant.

Why did the White-talking True Immortal choose this day to first teleport Shi Qingxuan to Bogu Town, so that he could watch a wonderful spectacle of bleeding social fires, and then bring him to the Pouring Wine Terrace to lay his hands on him? It must not have been such a big deal for no reason. Try to connect this time with the two locations: many years ago, on the night before a cold dew in Bogu Town, a mortal named He Sheng collapsed, killed countless people, and died himself. And on a cold dew eve on the Wine Pouring Platform, Shi Qingxuan ascended.

In this way, what the Vernacular True Immortal is trying to say could not be clearer:

Your master Qingxuan’s ascension cannot be separated from the death of the protagonist of this Blood Society Fire!

That very bad, yet reasonable, guess of Xie Ren’s was just that:

After Shi Wudu’s ascension, in order to free Shi Qingxuan from the vernacular True Immortal, he secretly found a person who met the conditions, and used some kind of evil magic, so that that person blocked the disaster for Shi Qingxuan. This person was undoubtedly He Sheng, who was poor and intelligent, but suddenly had a series of bad lucks, which eventually led to the destruction of his family.

He Sheng had taken over Shi Qingxuan’s name and fooled the White Spoken True Immortal, then his own fortune was occupied by Shi Qingxuan. On the same night before the Cold Dew, one person experienced the taste of earthly purgatory; the other, however, successfully transited and ascended amidst a strong escort.

And these two, their original destinies, were opposite!
