Another afternoon on the 15th, it was still the same hot spring pool. Last time it was Ye Tian and Qi Tian who were here, but this time only Ye Tian was in the pool. Last time Qitian's four guardians were by his side, this time Ye Tian also had Lu Qingyao in addition to the four guardians.
The poisonous effect of this holy water was really timely. It started to occur when Ye Tian drank the holy water last time. When the holy water was poisoned, the internal energy in Ye Tian's body was rushing around, his body temperature rose rapidly, and even the veins on his temples began to protrude. Lu Qingyao raised his hand and checked Ye Tian's pulse. It was very messy and weak at the same time. All the internal energy was wandering on the surface of the body. The body was completely empty of internal energy. Ye Tian would definitely die if he did not deal with it.
Fortunately, it can be seen from the degree of transpiration of the pool water this time that it is much more stable than the surge of internal energy last time. Ye Tian seems to be more proficient and calmer about all this.
The hot spring water alleviated the huge pain caused by the toxicity of the holy water. The four guardians helped Ye Tian to the ice bed. As usual, he needed to practice the Zhenruo Heart Jue seven or forty-nine times. The four guardians and Lu Qingyao surrounded him on the cold ice bed. Beside the ice bed, watching Ye Tian enter trance, the energy around him calmed down little by little.
Two hours later, Ye Tian opened his eyes. Fortunately, he survived the poisonous attack of the holy water this time. As long as he continues to practice the Zhenruo Heart Art, he should be able to spend every full-moon night safely in the future.
Seeing that Lu Qingyao, who had a normal expression on Ye Tian's face, had been worried for a whole month before he could calmly relax.
It's time to say goodbye.
Once again coming to the mountains and fields where all the previous leaders were buried, Lu Qingyao thought about it and told Ye Tian what happened in twenty years. Finally, he said his plan, "Brother Ye, I believe it will be decided within twenty years." Can find a way to break it.”
Ye Tian smiled and said softly, "Brother Lu, I have known it for a long time."
Lu Qingyao was stunned for a moment. The four guardians were always taciturn and only talked about what needed to be reported. They never said much. It was impossible for the four guardians to tell Ye Tian.
"Brother Lu, there are records related to the Demon Cult in Qitian's study. I already know it from the book."
It turns out that, although there are people in this Demonic Domain who are not like ordinary small towns who can repair county records, some of the records at the beginning of the Demonic Cult should have been recorded by which leader, and every new leader who succeeds can get a glimpse of it. About Holy water, about the twenty-year period. Holy water and this mine are symbiotic things, and there is no cure in this world.
"Brother Ye, since you already know, then I don't need to say more..." Lu Qingyao is indeed not sure and it is difficult to say that he will be sure to help Ye Tian remove the shackles of holy water within twenty years. Lu Qingyao realizes this It was a bit frustrating. Until now, when he first entered the world, Lu Qingyao had never said anything he couldn't fulfill.
Ye Tian's eyes turned to the tomb that still looked new, that was Qi Tian's tomb.
"Brother Lu, there is no more Ye Tian in this world, only the twelfth leader of the Demon Sect." That's right, from now on, only Lu Qingyao knows that the current leader of the Demon Sect is actually Ye Tian, the great disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, and Ye Tian is very important to the world. In other words, it has disappeared from the world.
Lu Qingyao looked at Ye Tian's dim and sad expression and knew that the young man was no longer there. What he saw in front of him now was the twelfth leader of the Demon Sect.
"Brother Ye, it's time for me to go. I hope Brother Ye can take care of himself. These twenty years are not long or short. Since you can't travel far, I will come to visit you from time to time." But this land is difficult. I found some, but it was not difficult for him, Lu Qingyao.
This was the first time that Ye Tian heard Lu Qingyao talking to him in a tone that was different from the plain tone he used in the past. It was rare to see Lu Qingyao's emotions fluctuating. In the past few years, even if he met gangsters on the road or had some extremely difficult martial arts competitions, even if he couldn't see the whole scene while wearing a mask, he could still hear Lu Qingyao's tone was always calm and nonchalant.
"It's not that I can't get out of this demonic realm, I just have to come back and forth within a month. Brother Lu, I'm still free, one month of freedom." Ye Tian even said this with a helpless smile, Although I don't know if Ye Tian has fully accepted his new identity, these words also reassured Lu Qingyao a lot.
The Demon Realm is close to the Western Region, and Lu Qingyao is a little afraid that being too far away is dangerous to Ye Tian. The two agreed to meet each other on the first day of October every year at a pavilion outside Tianshui City in Longxi. It was not in the city and there was no need to check the documents, so it was safer. In Tianshui, the small south of the Yangtze River, the first day of October is the golden autumn season. It is not too hot or too cold. It is indeed a good time. When they meet on the first day of October, they can also enjoy the scenery outside Tianshui City. It should be a pleasant autumn scenery.
"It's just that next time we meet, I have to put on my mask." Ye Tian even joked, "Brother Lu, in the past few years, this is the only month I have seen your true face. Next time we meet, , both of us are wearing masks, but it’s not a loss to each other.”
It seems that although Ye Tian has never asked, he still has doubts about what he looks like and who he is. Lu Qingyao really understands at this time that Ye Tian, in addition to his unintentional persistence and curiosity about the world, also has His forbearance and responsibility.
Early the next morning, Ye Tian sent Lu Qingyao to the city gate. Lu Qingyao put on a mask. He would leave the city as the Six Musketeers and return to his world.
"Brother Lu, take care. I'll see you in Tianshui on the first day of October." Ye Tian said goodbye to Lu Qingyao briefly and turned back to his position as leader. Lu Qingyao looked at Ye Tian's back. From then on, Ye Tian stayed away from the Jianghu and Qingcheng sect. In the next twenty years, he should be like this, walking alone with his back, going to the place he had never imagined. He passed the position and guarded the city and people on this side.
Ye Tian walked towards the city without looking back, his shadow getting farther and farther away from Lu Qingyuan, and the young man was gone forever.
At this moment, Lu Qingyao still doesn’t know that nothing has happened in the world in the month since he entered the Demon Realm, but there is turmoil in the imperial city, and although he, Lu Qingyao, is thousands of miles away, he is the one responsible for this turmoil. center. The whistle did not bring back the news of where Lu Qingyao was going, but it brought back the news that Lu Qingyao went to the Western Region, perhaps to the Demonic Realm. All the whistles of the Dark Crane Guard have been dispatched, and they are scattered in the Imperial City leading to the Western Region. He traveled through various pipelines and paths to explore the whereabouts of his eighth prince. Lu Deqing did not listen to the advice of Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Right, such as "The Eighth Prince has never been interested in worldly affairs, so he must have no intention of rebellion." He did not explicitly issue a wanted order for the Eighth Prince, but ordered all the whistles of the Anhe Guard to be dispatched. . Although the Crown Prince Lu Qingshan had never had any disagreements with the Eighth Prince, through the various information he heard about the reports from the Anhe Guard, although he did not want to believe that the Eighth Prince would covet his position as the Crown Prince, he also had his own concerns. A trace of worry.
Lu Qingyuan looked at the road ahead. The yellow sand in the sky had stopped, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a little. He felt a slight chill in the clothes he had worn a month ago. It was still midsummer when he arrived, and now it was early autumn. The seasons had only changed one season, but Lu Qingyao felt the changes in things and people.
Ye Tian is no longer Ye Tian, but he, Lu Qingyao, is still Lu Qingyao.
The young man set off again and walked to the tea horse road according to the path mentioned by the protector. After being away for too long, Lu Qingyao wanted to follow the way he came and return to the imperial city and the world.
But Lu Qingyao didn't know that this time, he was walking towards his destiny step by step.
