Zheng Yifan had already passed out, and the pile of maple leaves continued to accumulate.
After the fire of karma burned Zheng Yifan to the core, he suddenly realized that he could do nothing. He stared blankly at Song Pingzi in a pile of soul fire, his face gloomy but not out of control. He just kept showing sad and painful expressions.
"If it's cold outside, go back inside the conch first." A clear voice came from the open pile of maple leaves.
"Master, I... I'd better stay outside, leaving you an area where you can see the outside, so as not to get dark inside." Ye Huo stayed for a while before answering. Will it be cold? What the master said is really cold!
Song Pingzi didn't pay attention to the karma fire anymore. There was indeed it in front of him. Those maple leaves would not completely cover him, and there was still a "door" open.
Two hours later, Zheng Yifan woke up, and the scene in front of him made his eyes wide open.
It was a blessing in disguise for him. The karmic fire did not burn him desperately and left him with a chance to survive. The main thing was to clean up a few soul fires that had entered his soul.
It also gave him some benefits in disguise, his soul became more solidified, and his mood became much better due to some hidden illnesses in the past.
When he woke up at this time, after thinking for a moment, he realized that Song Pingzi was in deep danger to save him.
He couldn't help him. Not to mention the piles of maple leaves, just a few of them almost drove him crazy. You can imagine how powerful the spirit of the young man in front of him was.
Sighing, he saw Tang Yao waving to him outside the woods, and he walked out slowly.
"Mr. Zheng, you are really lucky. You are the only one who survived being corroded in the Maple Grove Valley. And I and several strong men from the sect also lost our lives." Tang Yao lamented.
"I understand, the debt is a bit big." Zheng Yifan's tone had never been calmer and lower. "It's a pity that we can't help Mr. Song at all now."
"Mr. Zheng, how did you survive?" Tang Yao was very curious.
"Just like Mr. Song, the entire Maple Grove Valley is a gathering place for wronged souls, and the resentment is very deep. Otherwise, I would not have been tricked." Zheng Yifan didn't even realize that he was calling Song Pingzi. changed.
Tang Yao heard it and probably understood it. Zheng Yifan was a strange person in the Eastern Continent who was the same as the original Wind Chime Ancestor. He relied on his own efforts and had no sect background or support. Zheng Yifan even had more hardships than the Feng Ling Ancestor. After all, the Feng Ling Ancestor gradually recruited disciples and had a group that snatched and searched for resources for himself. Zheng Yifan really relied entirely on himself. Although his methods were not very bright, he cultivated There are a few people who have reached advanced realms whose hearts are as clean as white paper.
Even if there are sects to rely on, intrigues to compete for resources are common, let alone competition between sects. It was also due to problems with Blue Star's cultivation system in the past few decades that things got better for a while, but the dispute started again because of the disappearance of the forbidden area.
Tang Yao felt that he owed something to Song Pingzi who was still unaware of his situation in Maple Grove Valley. And listening to what Zheng Yifan said, it was hard to say what would have happened if he had come out later. Who is sure whether Song Pingzi can save both of them at the same time?
From this day on, no one can enter Maple Leaf Valley. It is not because of danger, but because Tang Yao arranged for many disciples from the Shengyun Sect to come over and protect the entire periphery of Maple Leaf Valley. At this time, no one can enter. It's all dangerous, that's one thing, and I'm also worried about affecting Song Pingzi's condition inside.
Zheng Yifan never left Maple Grove Valley after he came out. He chose a position where he could see Song Pingzi holding the open "Maple Leaf Gate". Looking from a distance, if Song Pingzi failed, he would not hesitate. Rush in and repay the favor as much as possible.
Only he knows how much he gained from those several soul fires after escaping from death, and his soul that was unable to get in was loosened. Isn't this the purpose of rebuilding the cultivation system? If he hadn't really been unable to resist the erosion of those soul fires, he would have really wanted to rush in again, even if he was tortured again.
It's a pity that I can only think about it. Only by experiencing it can I know that the pain is not something that can be countered by willpower.
From day to night, maple leaves are still piling up. The strange lights that used to light up the entire maple forest valley at night are now gathered in the maple leaf fortress with Song Pingzi as the center. Except for one direction, they are gradually increasing in height and have surpassed the tallest maple tree in the valley.
But starting from the next day, there were many dead maple leaves outside the open door, and within a few breaths they turned into dust and scattered on the ground.
Song Pingzi really couldn't spare the energy to clean up, although he didn't mind that these carriage returns would eventually block the "door" and prevent him from seeing the situation outside. After all, he was already concentrating on refining those soul fires. When he was in a hurry, While saving Zheng Yifan, he found that after being baptized by Ping Shence, he could completely absorb and refine the soul fire, and he no longer needed the help of karma fire.
The big black dog abroad heard Song Pingzi's message and ran into Maple Leaf Valley the next day to clean up all the dust.
In this way, Song Pingzi "settled down" in Maple Grove Valley, but he didn't live in the small courtyard arranged by Tang Yao. Except for the first night, he entered Maple Grove Valley and never came out the next day.
The time lasted for half a month, and when Ye Huo felt that he was completely useless to Song Pingzi, the voice he heard when he was collecting Ye Huo in the cave of Wanniao Island once again sounded in Song Pingzi's ears among the maple leaves, "Old man I really didn’t expect that this opportunity seems to have been yours. Just refine it and don’t worry about the outside world.”
Song Pingzi really couldn't be distracted now. He could only hear but couldn't distract himself from talking and thinking. The Nascent Soul in the sea of qi had just taken shape and gradually matured...
Time is passing by bit by bit outside, and not a single maple leaf in Maple Grove Valley is still on the tree.
Looking at the extent of the maple leaf ash accumulated outside the "door", Zheng Yifan could no longer judge whether it would be better or worse as time went on. Seen from the door, Song Pingzi's expression showed all kinds of weirdness from the beginning, but it has rarely changed. Zhao Decheng and Li Gang were arranged by Zheng Yifan to return to Donglin College and ask them to inform the principal of the situation and also inform Song Pingzi's Taoist companion Zhu Waner.
As for whether the academy would notify Xiuzhentang Academy in the southern continent, that was not his concern.
Tang Yao, the leader of the Shengyun Sect outside Maple Leaf Valley, has come to Maple Leaf Valley from his sect countless times to check, but the scene in the valley has not changed at all. If the big black dog hadn't cleaned up the flying dust from time to time, he would have doubted whether Song Pingzi was still alive.
As the head of a sect, Tang Yao could not stay here all the time. It was already entering the twelfth lunar month and snow had begun to fall. Although the amount of snow was not heavy, the original ground was not clear whether it was due to the accumulation of maple leaves or something else. Gradually A layer of white snow formed outside the pile of maple leaves. None of them dared to touch it and could only watch helplessly. Fortunately, the "door" in front of Song Pingzi had never been covered with snow, and Song Pingzi could still be seen inside. , you can also feel that the aura of the soul is getting stronger and stronger.
"Mr. Zheng, do you think Mr. Song can come out?" Tang Yao was still unsure. According to Zheng Yifan, just a few soul fires entered his sea of consciousness, and he was already in so much pain. He could survive without Song Pingzi. I can't go, but the endless maple leaves keep pressing down. It seems like the big black dog has been cleaning the dust, but everyone knows that as time goes by, it will not become smoother, but the direction will become more and more uncertain.
"I don't know! I can only tell you that if Mr. Song can't come out, this will be a knot in our hearts." Zheng Yifan answered simply.
"It's a pity that we can't help at all!" Zheng Yifan thought about it a lot and discussed it many times within the sect.
"Help? Forget it! It's not about being self-deprecating or looking down on yourself. The one who can persist for so long and still be clear-headed. Apart from the mysterious Master Song of the Immortal Book Sect, Lan Xing may have the possibility, but I can't think of anyone else who can." Zheng Yifan Also a little helpless.
Tang Yao said nothing and looked at the open door, wondering what he was thinking.
The two fell into silence again, just like the scene that had remained unchanged in Maple Grove Valley for several months, except for the occasional sound of wind, but now the snowy wind was added, making it sound even colder.
Two years later, Zheng Yifan finally saw a significant change in the size of the mountains of maple leaves. However, the already bare maple trees in the Maple Forest Valley began to have some strange lights, but they were very weak. Although not a single leaf appeared, Zheng Yifan became worried in his heart, wondering how fast these strange lights would grow.
Five years later, Zhao Decheng and Li Gang returned from Donglin College. They saw that Song Pingzi's condition had not improved significantly, and their expressions changed a little, but they didn't say a word. After staying for a few days, they said goodbye and left. They still became bachelors of Donglin College, but their research direction was based on the expansion of the Wanfa given to them by Song Pingzi. In seven years, they have become outstanding bachelors. The best of a bunch of people.
