[Sword III] Seeking Wings

It was the candlestick used by Chi Xiao when he was seriously ill and bedridden when he was young, and Master used to accompany him at night.

Very old item, very ordinary style, no significant events related to it.

But now, this detail, which he had never realized he remembered, was clearly visible at this moment, shining brightly.

Chi Xiao suddenly felt a heavy soreness in his heart.

He knew why the content of the illusion was abnormal.

Back then, Shangguan Boyu found Chi Xiao who was dying of illness in the corner, and immediately took him away for treatment.

He invited famous doctors for consultation, searched for the best medicinal materials in the world, and without hesitation took out the elixir that he had treasured for many years.In order to allow the patients to eat nutritious meals every day, he spared no effort to keep himself quiet all year round, and the untouched small courtyard is full of fish and meat and fireworks all day long.Worried that he is suffering from illness, this middle-aged man who is withdrawn by nature and has lived alone for a long time has even learned to coax children, tell jokes, and always pay attention to him, not to mention his past, so as not to arouse any unpleasant memories in him .

——Even if the strange child he treats with all his heart has a mediocre background, no extraordinary roots, and even no wisdom in his mind, no matter what aspect of his aptitude, he is below the average.When we met for the first time, he was still lying on the altar without proper etiquette, wrapped in banners and holding a futon in his arms, curled up in the messy hall, like an insect that would never be successful in this life .

——People who have no "usefulness" are worthy of being saved and treated kindly.

Chi Xiao respected his master very much, but he never really understood this truth, so he easily fell into the deep demon of "useless, he will be abandoned".

But now, it is the warmth in his memory that he has never comprehended, but can't forget, that has become the only guiding light in his sea of ​​consciousness that is about to be filled with darkness.

In fact, it is power, which enables him to change the direction of the illusion completely by himself, break free from the crisis of being swallowed by evil spirits, and achieve a miracle that even the best geniuses cannot do here.

Chi Xiao was taken out of the dark hall in the middle of the night by the master in his mind, and saw the starlight outside.

The starlight gradually became denser and brighter, splitting the dark night sky.

After the huge spot of light rotated, Chi Xiao opened his eyes.

He changed back to his real self.

But in front of him was still the snow-covered Pure Yang Palace.

He still couldn't get rid of his demons.

This time, Chi Xiao was in the hut where he lived in Chunyang, and was imprisoned there, unable to leave.

Only through the hazy window paper, people outside can see the figures coming and going at a distorted speed, and the voices are noisy.

***

Back then, after two years of intensive treatment, Chi Xiao gradually recovered. Except for the unexplainable and untreatable drowsiness symptoms, and when it was severe, he would even faint suddenly. He was already the same as a normal person.

Shangguan Boyu didn't ask him to stay in Chunyang, but he chose to stay.

Not only the whole identity, but also the whole heart.

Probably because of the experience of being abandoned in childhood, Chi Xiao became obsessed with "belonging" and "care".After becoming Shangguan Boyu's first apprentice and welcoming many juniors and juniors, he actively took on the responsibility of a senior senior and cared for them wholeheartedly.

And because the master is gentle by nature, more than loving to his disciples, but not strict enough, and the children are at their worst age——

He is also in charge of discipline.

——Then he became the notorious "Brother Evil Ghost" of Shimen, until his reputation shook the whole of Chunyang.

……

"Seventh Junior Brother hasn't woken up yet? He's going to be late for morning class! He was scolded last time, and if he commits the crime again this time, Senior Brother will definitely go mad on the spot!" In the illusion, outside the window of the imprisoned room, Chi Xiao saw a familiar figure Walk and talk.

"It's fine, don't call him. I heard from Master just now that Eldest Brother is sick and needs to stay in bed for five days, and he won't come to morning classes." Another familiar voice said.

"What? He's sick?" There was a clap of hands, "That's great! How about we skip class too?"

Back then, these little bastards thought that Chi Xiao was sleeping in the room, and they didn't cover their mouths for a while, but he heard it.

He lay so angry for a week, fulfilling their great dream of sleeping like pigs for twelve whole mornings.

Before this group of people had completely walked out of the pane area, more people appeared, casting a larger shadow on the white window paper.

"...Fourth Senior Brother, are we really going to deliberately make Senior Brother angry? I'm still worried that I'll hurt him." Junior Sister asked a little nervously.

"No, he's just of that physique, he'll just sleep for a few days when he's fainted, it's fine." He answered calmly.

"Oh... But it was a big mistake for us to sneak down the mountain like this. When we come back and the senior brother wakes up, we must clean up."

"No, I have tricked Xia Bao into going down the mountain to be our bodyguard. When the senior brother blames him, we will push the blame to him. Xia Bao's crunchy and soft glass heart, the senior brother will love him Now, have you seen him say a serious word to him? With him standing in front of us, we'll be fine!"

"Oh... then... can your idea really make the senior brother angry? I think it's better to be more ruthless..."

Back then, Chi Xiao was listening to the little bastards whispering in the room, and was so angry that he immediately went out to arrest them. However, the serious illness was really insurmountable, and the fourth junior brother who had the cheapest mouth teased him a few more words, and he actually passed out on the spot.The last scene I saw before losing consciousness was this group of unscrupulous colleagues winking at each other, celebrating the success of the plan.

In the room of the illusion, Chi Xiao turned around and leaned against the corner, raised his hand and tightly gathered his clothes, not looking at the figure outside.

"Why don't you all want to join Lingxu's sect? I heard that Daoist Lingxu has the best temper among the five sons of Chunyang?" Outside the window, the crisp child's voice still came clearly.

"Because of the Lingxu lineage, apart from Quan Chunyang's best-tempered master—and Quan Chunyang's bad-tempered elder brother! It is said that as long as you are a little late, leave early, get distracted in class, be lazy in sword practice, and fail to memorize properly... He not only wants to scold you, but also beats you until you can't cry!"

Chi Xiao was 14 years old, and in the early morning before a certain entrance ceremony in Chunyang, new disciples passing by outside the door had such a conversation.

They came to Chunyang for just two days, and they didn't even find out where he lived—so much so that they even spoke ill of him directly at his door—they already spoke of all kinds of "notoriety", as if they had personally experienced it.

"What the hell did I... do wrong...?" Chi Xiao, who was imprisoned in the room, was unable to utter a sound, unable to explain himself, and only felt bursts of painful trance while listening to the past chaotically retraced outside the window of the illusion.

In fact, Chi Xiao didn't do anything excessive back then.

He only cares about the smooth growth and success of his juniors and younger sisters. With the approval of his master, he not only loves them in life, but also cares about their discipline.

The method used in daily life is only to understand the reason first, and then move it emotionally, if it still doesn’t work——

Because he has a gentle temperament, he can't act fiercely and scold people——

I can only beat him with my hands.

In fact, Chi Xiao had been a senior senior brother in Chunyang for nearly ten years, and there were only three senior juniors who had been beaten by him.

But from then on, everyone feared him like a scourge, hated him like a vengeance for killing his father, and spared no effort to promote him as a living "evil ghost" until he became the public enemy of the master, and even became famous throughout Huashan.

Later, a well-meaning junior told him that they had such an attitude because he didn't change his expression at all between his gentle and calm reasoning and his direct beating.

A man who uses violence calmly without a scowl is more frightening than any manic rage.

——Usually, only perverted killers behave like this.

But Chi Xiao knew that he was not a pervert, it was just that he had no majesty in his nature, but out of a strong sense of responsibility "to take care of his classmates to grow into useful people", he forced himself to have it.

After years of camouflage, it seems to be working.Now, he seems to have really grown up to be able to bear the "responsibility".

But it also seems that it has really become a "ghost".

Ten years ago, in order to relieve the pain of being disciplined and bullied by his classmates all day long, Chi Xiao went out to practice alone, and met Tang Xiaoyi in Fenghua Valley.

Touched by Tang Xiaoyi's undivided attention and persevering research on mechanism wings, he also followed her to let go of his mind, put aside all mundane affairs, and only focused on the wood, stone and iron nails in front of him.

Day after day, while helping her collect materials without any distractions, Chi Xiao dug up Xuan Jing.

After that, he and Tang Xiaoyi parted ways and returned to the division respectively.

After returning, Chi Xiao used his memory to make Tangmen tools he had seen, and began to teach himself mechanism skills.

——He took this fine technique of letting go of all distracting thoughts and fully concentrating his mind as an opportunity to continue enlightenment.

After seven years of practice, the 22-year-old Chi Xiao's martial arts and Taoism have advanced by leaps and bounds, and his mechanism skills have also achieved small success.

One day, in order to collect materials for practicing organ skills, he accidentally passed by the back mountain of Chunyang, where Chixiao Honglian was suppressed.

——Then, just like that, he was recognized as the master by the ancient fierce sword.

It stands to reason that it is not a good thing for Fierce Sword to recognize his master, especially for a young and weak person like Chi Xiao who is kind and gentle in nature.

However, except for a few teachers, no one in the huge Chunyang School worried about him.

"Recognized by the leader of all the evil spirits in the world, you really deserve to be the master evil ghost!" Someone clapped their hands and sighed.

"I heard that getting such a treasure has to go through a lot of tests, but the elder brother didn't. Could it be that he is really a evil star? Look at that cold look that seems to kill people without blinking an eye. He really looks like a fairy... Sigh, Thinking of how we bullied him when I was a child, I can't sleep... Is it too late to apologize now?" Some people were uneasy.

"Hey, do you know? The elder brother from the Lingxu lineage next door got the Chixiaohonglian! This guy dug out the mysterious crystal and got the artifact on the way. How can his luck be so against the sky! I heard that he is a cruel man. The disciples called them evil ghosts... Could it be that evil people have a good life? Sigh, we can't envy such people!" Some people were angry.

In the few days when the news spread, outside the door of Chi Xiao's room, there were all such discussions.

They reappeared in the illusion, bringing waves of dizziness, as if to pull him into a darker abyss.

Chi Xiao remembered that his master was very worried in those few days, and repeatedly advised him not to pass on Chi Xiao Honglian, Lu Zu would find a way for him to strip the connection and suppress it again.

But he is determined to become the master of evil.

Even if this would make him a truly feared "evil ghost" and might even harm his life and shorten his lifespan, he had made up his mind.

Because, he is no longer just the guardian of the division gate.

Being rescued by his master gave Chi Xiao a strong sense of belonging and responsibility towards Chun Yang.

He has been taught in Chunyang for more than ten years, and he has learned what it means to act on behalf of the sky and measure people without measure.

——So, since you belong to this world, you should be responsible for the people of the world.

However, he himself is not that "useful". Even if he has determined to give up his personal relationship for this purpose, he still cannot achieve such a lofty ideal.

Therefore, he needs Chixiao Honglian to give him strength.

Chi Xiao was determined to participate in the trial prepared for him by the sect—that is, he was recognized as the master without passing the test that would normally occur naturally. Chunyang's teachers were responsible for his safety and added a man-made test. , he can officially become the Master of the Artifact, if not, he still has to strip the connection and continue to live the previous life.

Now, the time of the illusion has arrived five days before the trial.

Chi Xiao knew what would happen at this moment.

He turned back.

Sure enough, I saw Zixia.

In the illusion, Zixia quietly appeared in his room out of thin air.Under the dim light, he had a vague figure, a pale face, and a pair of unusually dark eyes that seemed to have no pupils.

The author has something to say: 1. There must be private npc settings, I hope there is no ooc

2. Digging out the mysterious crystal series

3. The male lead's inner world is full of black mud—no, it's just mental pollution.

At first I thought this kind of meme was fun, but I haven’t played it enough. Now I probably have played it enough. I won’t play it in the future. My favorability for the protagonist has dropped to a negative value.
