[Xian San] Red Clothes

Throwing the fake Qingwei to the head of Qingwei, Long Yuan left the Wuji Pavilion. As for what Xu Changqing and Qingwei said inside, she didn't know.Solanum nigrum and the others didn't return, Long Yuan panicked in idleness in Shushan, and simply played tricks on the disciples of Shushan everywhere, until the disciples of Shushan played tricks on her and made a detour to her before she calmed down.

In the evening, she finally received the news from Solanum nigrum that Solanum solanum and Jing Tianxue met and rescued Zixuan from the water prison at the headquarters of the Thunderbolt Hall in Jiuding Mountain.Now the four of them have left Jiuding Mountain and came to Anning Village at the foot of Shu Mountain. Because it was getting late, they were going to wait for the next morning to go up the mountain again.

Solanum nigrum also talked about the things on the road. The road was full of surprises and no dangers. Even if they encountered enemies that Jing Tianxue saw that the two of them could not solve, those monsters were not all-in-one enemies of Solanum nigrum with the sun-shooting bow. On the road, Solanum nigrum protected the two of them more.Having been rescued many times by nightshade, coupled with the gentle and kind nature of nightshade, Tang Xuejian's attitude towards nightshade gradually improved.

Hearing the news that Solanum nigrum and others returned safely, Long Yuan smiled slightly.At the beginning, she decided to act separately from Xiaokui, and Long Yuan, who was used to worrying, was still a little worried, for fear that Solanum nigrum would suffer.Now it seems that Xiaokui has grown up, and she is no longer the weak girl who can only rely on herself to shelter from the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, Long Yuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Feeling a bit panicked, Long Yuan simply went out and took a walk on Mount Shu. The disciples of Mount Shu avoided her when they saw her, and no one dared to step forward to stop her.After wandering casually, Long Yuan walked to the forbidden area of ​​Shushan Mountain, the Demon Locking Tower in the northwest.

The demon lock tower is still standing tall, and it has become more dilapidated than when Long Yuan destroyed the demon lock tower last time, probably because the monsters fled and destroyed the demon lock tower more thoroughly.At the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower, facing the entrance, there is a wall with five circular holes, and in front of this wall, there is a person standing there, staring at the front, standing still like a stone sculpture.

Long Yuan let out a soft "Hey", the person standing there turned out to be Xu Changqing, I don't know what he was doing.Curiosity arose in her heart, Long Yuan quietly walked behind Xu Changqing without making a sound, then stretched out her hand with a smile, and patted Xu Changqing's shoulder.

"Who?!" Xu Changqing was really taken aback, and hurriedly turned around, seeing Long Yuan's smiling face, so he relaxed again, but unconsciously let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter?" Long Yuan was idle and bored, so she stood with him in front of the wall with five holes, and asked, "Didn't Qingwei agree to take you back into the teacher's school? Why are you still sighing. "

"It's not about this." Xu Changqing shook his head slowly, his eyes fixed on the five holes, and after a long silence, he said, "The seal of the Demon Locking Tower is a five-element seal. It needs to land on the seal of the Five Elements. Miss Long, look, these five holes are used to hold the Five Spirit Orbs when the Demon Suo Tower was first sealed."

"Five Spirit Orbs." Long Yuan followed the direction of his fingers, squinted her eyes slightly, and unexpectedly remembered the scene in Mu Yao's memory, Zixuan released all her spiritual power and sacrificed herself to seal the Demon Locking Tower, " Changqing, are you worried about Zixuan?"

"You know? Yes, Miss Long is very knowledgeable and has a close relationship with Zixuan." Xu Changqing said in a low voice, "Zixuan is a descendant of Nuwa, and the five spirit beads were originally left by Nuwa Empress to mend the sky, so only Nuwa Only the descendants of Wa can really play its role."

"It's just that sealing the Demon Locking Tower requires a lot of spiritual power." Long Yuan took his words and said, "If the seal needs to extract all of Zixuan's spiritual power, then she will die of spiritual exhaustion."

"That's right..." Xu Changqing murmured, "It's just that the common people need to be saved, and the evildoers need to be eradicated. If there must be sacrifices...it's just hateful, why wasn't it me who sacrificed? Zixuan..."

"If you were the one who needed to sacrifice, would you not hesitate?" Long Yuan asked softly in his ear.

Xu Changqing nodded without hesitation: "If you can save the common people, Changqing will die."

"Then, what if Zixuan doesn't want you to die? For her sake, will you give up this ideal?" Long Yuan asked.

Xu Changqing's face showed a look of unbearable pain, but he still shook his head slowly, and said in a low voice: "If that's the case, even if I owe Zixuan, I have a duty to do so. I only hope that in the next life, I can meet her again."

Speaking of this, Xu Changqing smiled wryly again, and said, "Miss Long, what's the point of asking these things? I'm not the one who can seal the Demon Locking Tower."

Long Yuan said: "Well, let me ask you, what would you do if Zixuan was unwilling to sacrifice herself and seal the Demon Locking Tower?" She said slowly, "Not everyone is willing to choose to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world. Those who are willing to make sacrifices are respectable, and those who do not want to make sacrifices can’t be said to be wrong. If Zixuan is unwilling to make sacrifices, will you force her?”

"If Zixuan doesn't want to..." Xu Changqing sighed, and the wry smile on his face deepened, "Miss Long, you are right. How could I force her? Why would I want her to sacrifice? If you don't want her to sacrifice... Heart, I will not be less than anyone. It's just..."

He even asked Xu Changqing three questions, and listening to his answer, Long Yuan saw Xu Changqing's contradiction and pain in his eyes, and couldn't help but sighed softly.She understood Xu Changqing's feelings, if it was her, she would not be much better than Xu Changqing.In order to protect important things and let her sacrifice, Long Yuan will not hesitate at all, but if the sacrificed person is replaced by an important person, she will also fall into conflict and pain just like Xu Changqing.

It's just that she is different from Xu Changqing. For Long Yuan, the most important people or things are Zhonglou and Solanum nigrum, and there will be no such thing as only sacrificing one can save the other.

Because of the matter of Xu Changqing's first life, Long Yuan has always had a bad impression of him, and her repeated help is only in response to Zixuan's request, but at this moment, she has a little more respect for Xu Changqing, and a little more sigh.Because of his sincere heart for the common people in the world, compared to Long Yuan herself, she would definitely choose the latter without any hesitation, but it does not prevent her from respecting those who have great love.Sighing at Xu Changqing and Zixuan, three lives and three generations, obsessed with obsession, pursued hard, but failed to achieve consummation after all.

After a long silence, she said softly, "Changqing, I will try to find a way to seal the Demon Locking Tower. Maybe it won't be to the extent that Zixuan sacrificed."

"Really?" Xu Changqing was overjoyed when he heard the words. He was extremely excited, turned around suddenly, and firmly grasped Long Yuan's shoulder.Suddenly realizing that he was too excited, Xu Changqing quickly let go of his hand, took a step back, managed to control his emotions, and said calmly, "Sorry, I lost my composure... Changqing, on behalf of Shushan, thanked Miss Long for her repeated help. Well, I am even more grateful to Miss Long for her fulfillment..."

"You don't need to thank me," Long Yuan shook her head, looked up at the tall and dilapidated Demon Locking Tower in front of her, and said quietly, "I'll tell you the truth, the Demon Locking Tower was destroyed because of me."

"Destroyed because of you?" Xu Changqing frowned.

"That's right. That day I entered the tower to look for the Demon Suppressing Sword. When I left, I was trapped by the barrier. I made a mistake and destroyed the seal of the Demon Locking Tower." Long Yuan closed her eyes slightly, and said, "I apologize for the trouble I caused up and down Mount Shu. It is my duty to help. I, Long Yuan, act bravely, if I want to watch others sacrifice for the mistakes I made, I will never do it."

"Miss Long..." Xu Changqing looked at her, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, since it happened, it's useless to talk about it. The Suppressing Demon Sword is the treasure of the Suppressing Sect. It was lost 300 years ago. In the Demon Locking Tower, thank Miss Long for bringing it out of the tower."

"Suppressing Demon Sword is the saber of Fei Peng, the god general. After I took out the saber, I gave it to Fei Peng's reincarnation." Long Yuan said.

"You mean... Sedum?" Xu Changqing asked.

Long Yuan nodded, and then said, "It's okay, Sedum has the magic sword given by Xiaokui now. Since Shushan can use the Suppressing Demon Sword, let's use it. Sedum, as the reincarnation of a god general, has unlimited potential , if Shushan has the heart, you might as well take it under the sect. As far as I know, Jing Tian has longed for the Shushan School."

"I will mention this matter to Master." Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and took a last look at the Demon Locking Tower. "The night is dark, Miss Long, go back to your room to rest." He pondered for a while, and added, "Regardless of the cause and effect Why, Shushan always thanked Miss Long for helping her. As for the method mentioned before..." At this point, he suddenly bowed deeply to Long Yuan and said, "I will trouble Miss Long."

Long Yuan's red sleeves swung out and brushed against Xu Changqing's body. Xu Changqing felt a gentle but irresistible force, and straightened his body involuntarily.Long Yuan nodded to him, showing a faint smile, turned around and said: "I'm leaving, the weather is cold and dew heavy, Changqing should also rest earlier."

The next day, Long Yuan sat in the room until noon, and only went out to greet Solanum nigrum and others when they came to Mount Shu.

Jingtian and his party visited Jiuding Mountain, Pilitang, Anning Village, and Guteng Forest, and got an unexpected harvest, which was the Earth Spirit Bead, and Jingtian even learned the unique skill of picking things out of pockets.Zixuan brought a few people to meet Xu Changqing first, and Xu Changqing led a few people to meet the head.Qingwei agreed with Jingtian to join Shushan and become a lay disciple, and taught Jingtian a set of Shushan mental methods on the spot, asking him to practice more frequently.

Qingwei and the other four elders needed to suppress the demon lock tower with a formation, and had no time for others, so they entrusted Xu Changqing and Jing Tian with the task of finding the five spirit beads.And Zixuan followed Xu Changqing, Tang Xuejian, Solanum nigrum followed Sedum, and Long Yuan followed Solanum nigrum. The six-member team was huge and sufficient, which made Qingwei and the others, who were secretly worried, a little more confident.

Next, through divination, He Yang calculated that it was advisable to go to the south, and under Qing Wei's instruction, the six-person team, led by Xu Changqing, set off to the south.

The author has something to say: I think Xu Changqing is a person~ You may not like him, but you cannot deny his spirit of sacrifice for the sake of the world.The few questions Long Yuan asked him were also what I wanted to ask him, and I answered them for him...

Our lives would not be the way we are today without those who dared to sacrifice themselves for others.
