The Sword Prison was several times colder at night than during the day.
Mu Qing, who wanted to perform well, did not take the initiative to stimulate Lu Tai like last time when he was in the same room with Lu Tai. Instead, he stared at the prison door with a serious face.
Lu Manqing came to Lu Tai, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Master, can I ask you something?"
Lu Tai had been staring at Mu Qing. After hearing this, he looked at his apprentice and nodded lightly.
Lu Manqing looked serious: "I want to know my life experience."
"..."
Lu Tai was silent for a moment and said: "More than a hundred years ago, the fifth junior sister and I completed our mission and returned to the clan. Shortly after leaving Shenxiu Mountain, we encountered a war between two nomadic tribes on the grassland."
"She wanted to save people at the time, but I stopped her and told her that was the way to survive on the grassland. Later, one party failed, and more and more people died quickly. A caravan returning from the grassland to the Western Mountains was also affected. .”
Lu Manqing's eyes were full of confusion. Her memories of her childhood never included the killings on the grassland.
Lu Tai's eyes were calm and he said slowly: "The caravan leader discovered us and tried his best to break out in our direction. Junior sister finally took action and rescued the caravan leader and her wife."
"The leader of the caravan was seriously injured and could not survive. Before he died, he begged us to save his wife's life. His wife was seven months pregnant and almost had a miscarriage. The Sword Sect was still far away, and the wind and snow in the Star Silent Snowfield would easily take her away. We couldn’t bring the woman back, so we sent her back to the Western Mountains.”
"In the end, the woman died in childbirth at home."
"Junior sister and I promised the leader that after the child is born, we will give the child a blessed name. Junior sister has even thought of several names along the way.
, but this has become something we can never accomplish. "
Mu Qing listened to this story very quietly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Is this related to Man Qing's life experience?"
Lu Tai said: "I am a person who doesn't like to cause trouble for myself. Twenty-four years ago, I returned to my clan alone, and once again encountered a war between two tribes on the grassland, and a couple who were innocently affected. "
"The tribe is different, and the couple are not the caravan leader and his wife. The only thing that is the same is that they need someone to save them."
"After I rescued them, I found out that they were a Taoist couple. They went deep into the tribe to find a rare elixir to save their newborn daughter."
"I saw that their daughter was not sick, but was born with a sword body. The caravan leader and his wife knew that I was an extraordinary person, so they gave me their frail daughter."
Lu Tai looked at Lu Manqing and said softly: "I brought this child back to Jianzong and used my own surname and the name given by my junior sister. This is you."
Lu Manqing stood there, crying silently, and choked with sobs: "So Master is so kind to me, is it because of the regrets from a hundred years ago?"
Lu Tai's eyes were deep and he smiled: "If the fifth junior sister is still here, she will also bring you back."
"I know." Lu Manqing walked out of the prison sadly.
Mu Qing wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to speak. He could only watch Lu Manqing leave.
"Why is Sect Leader Lu doing this?" Mu Qing frowned.
Lu Tai asked: "You are curious about Man Qing's life experience, but now that you know it, you blame me, right?"
Mu Qing shook his head: "You know what she wants to hear.
What? "
"...I only tell the truth."
Mu Qing glanced at Lu Tai, and a shadow enveloped Lu Tai's face, making it difficult for him to see clearly.
The sky was getting brighter and Mu Qing left.
Lu Tai was sitting on the Fallen Immortal Stone like a sculpture. He seemed to have forgotten that Mu Qing and the others had been here.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a slight sound of breathing in the passage on the second floor of the Sword Prison. Lu Tai frowned and opened his eyes.
Soon, Zhou Yun appeared in front of Lu Tai.
"Come with me."
"This is our last chance. Your master is dying. He will solve your problem before he dies."
With a serious face on his face, Zhou Yun took out the Sword Scripture from his arms and handed it to Lu Tai.
Lu Tai raised his eyebrows slightly and sighed softly: "Where did this sword scripture come from?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Zhou Yun said solemnly: "I didn't lie to you. The Qifeng meeting had its results as early as that day. Your master decided to execute you after a long discussion."
Lu Tai smiled and said: "I have already thought of this result."
"I don't want you to die!"
Zhou Yun's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Just because Fang Qingxue is dead, do you want to go down to find her?"
Lu Tai was silent, and then said after a long time: "As a senior brother, I have too many regrets, and as a sword cultivator, I have too many blessings. What else can a person like me ask for?"
"If my death can bring peace to the Sword Sect for a hundred years, then it will be my final compensation to everyone."
"what about me?"
Zhou Yun stared at Lu Tai and asked in a painful tone: "Don't you ever care about my feelings?"
Lu Tai advised: "Leave the Sword Scripture here and leave early. Don't be deceived by them, especially Mu Qing."
Zhou Jun took a few steps forward
, about to knock Lu Tai unconscious, the ground suddenly shook, and the sound of breaking through the air was getting closer and closer to them.
Zhou Yun was shocked and secretly thought that Mu Qing was not keeping his word. In less than a quarter of an hour, he stuffed the Jian Sutra into Lu Tai's arms and turned to leave: "I'm going to lure them away. You must come out!"
Lu Tai looked at Zhou Yun's leaving figure, moved his lips, and finally gave up.
As soon as Zhou Yun broke out of the prison in Lutai, he ran into Jian Wenxuan. His heart sank and he was ready for a fierce battle, but Jian Wenxuan turned around and walked outside.
The formations in the channel were not restarted at all.
Zhou Yun finally began to remember Lu Tai's reminder.
She had been inquiring about the formation information inside Sword Prison during the past few days in Jian Zong. What made her happy was that although it took a lot of effort, she did get to Lu Tai smoothly.
Could this be all done intentionally by these people? Just to lure her into taking the bait?
Zhou Yun left the Sword Prison with a dark face. He didn't go far when he saw Zhou Shuang. Before she could ask what was going on, two figures suddenly appeared behind her and controlled her.
Zhou Yun's whole body was boiling with energy, and just as she was about to resist desperately, two forces penetrated into her body and restrained her easily.
"you?!"
Only then did she see clearly that it was the two elders of the Zhou family who took action, with a look of shock on her face.
These two elders of the Zhou family were her back-up agents outside Jian Zong. How could they appear here and help Jian Zong control her?
"Let me go!"
"I'm sorry, miss, we need to get you out of Jianzong safely."
Elder Zhou said with a embarrassed look on his face.
Zhou Shuang looked at Jian Wenxuan with a cold face, "Are you plotting against me? Where is Mu Qing?"
Jian Wenxuan ignored the angry Jian Wenxuan and said to the two elders of the Zhou family, "Master said that she can not be held accountable for breaking into the Sword Prison without authorization, but the Zhou family must take good care of her. If she appears again, Sword Sect, Sword Prison is her destination."
"Thank you, Elder Zangjian, for your understanding!"
The two elders of the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship between the Zhou family and the Jianzong was here, and Zhou Yun's identity made it impossible for them to just let it go. The two of them wanted to take Zhou Yun away from the Jianzong as soon as possible.
Zhou Yun was still here saying with a cold face that she wanted to see Mu Qing, but the two elders of the Zhou family were already holding her down and flying towards the outside of the Sword Sect.
Jian Zong was getting farther and farther behind him, but Zhou Yun became more awake and suddenly asked: "Where is Xiao Shuang?"
The elder replied: "The young lady said that she could minimize the impact of this incident and asked a friend to help. She would follow her after saying goodbye to that friend."
Zhou Jun laughed angrily and said, "That's what she said? Aren't you worried about her safety? Stop it quickly, don't let her deceive you."
The elder said helplessly: "Miss Shuang will not break into someone else's sword prison."
Zhou Yun said nothing, "Xiao Shuang should be able to stop you. Is it my brother's order?"
The elder was even more embarrassed, but he still said truthfully: "The master of the family did have an order. If the young lady must lose her mind for Lu Tai, then we have the right to stop the young lady."
"In addition, the head of the family said that if the young lady takes the initiative to ask him, he has something to tell you."
"...Say it."
The elder coughed lightly, and said solemnly in a vague tone as the head of the Zhou family:
"Sister, letting you go to the Wuji Sword Sect is not to let you sever ties with him, but to let you end with regret. This is already the biggest concession I can make, big brother. If you
If you marry a man regardless of the Zhou family's position, then from the moment you are with him, you will no longer be a member of my Zhou family. "
Zhou Yun looked back at the Hengduan Mountains, whose outline could no longer be seen, his eyes filled with sadness.
She almost went to the point of being expelled from the family for him, but his heart was still as cold as the wind and snow in this world.
On Jinglan Peak.
Zhou Shuang stared blankly at the direction Zhou Yun was leaving. It wasn't until Mu Qing and Lu Manqing appeared beside her that she asked with some fear: "Are we getting too big? Auntie won't hate me to death in the future, right?"
Lu Manqing said expressionlessly: "If she wants to hate me, she will hate my master."
Zhou Shuang said "hmm" and turned to look at Mu Qing: "Maybe we guessed wrong. Sect Leader Lu really didn't like my aunt. We are just being sentimental."
Mu Qing shook his head: "I trust my own judgment."
"Okay." Zhou Shuang nodded, "Then I'll try it."
In the Sword Prison, Lu Tai looked at Zhou Shuang with interest.
"Sect Master Lu." Zhou Shuang was stared at by Lu Tai. He forgot all the words he had prepared and simply said bluntly: "My aunt was taken away by the elders sent by my father."
Lu Tai nodded and said, "If that's true, it's a good thing."
Zhou Shuang was stunned. She originally wanted to mention the conflict between the two elders of the Zhou family and Jian Zong to take away Zhou Yun, and told Lu Tai that Zhou Yun was in a bad situation, but Lu Tai seemed to deny her words.
"My aunt was really taken away by the elders." Zhou Shuang said seriously.
Lu Tai's eyes moved slightly and said, "It's hard for you young people to unite to deceive people."
Zhou Shuang looked panicked.
Mu Qing walked out of the darkness and came to Zhou Shuang's side.
Seeing Mu Qing appear, Lu Tai smiled and said
: "It seems you admitted it."
Mu Qing asked: "When did Sect Leader Lu guess that we were lying to you?"
Lu Tai replied: "Since you showed up last night."
"You have underestimated your importance in the eyes of my junior sisters. If Zhou Yun really snatched the sword scripture from you, it would be impossible for him to stay in the Sword Sect for one night, and even come to the Sword Prison to take me away. go out."
"so?"
"So everything that happened from last night to this point was colluded with you."
Mu Qing sighed softly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Sect Leader Lu. I did collude with them to lie to you, but I also lied to Zhou Yun."
Lu Tai frowned.
Mu Qing took out the Sanqing sword bracelet.
Lu Tai frowned and said nothing.
Mu Qing said slowly: "She did not snatch the Sword Scripture from my hand, but exchanged it for the Sword Scripture from my hand."
"I told her today would be the best chance to rescue you, and she believed me."
"Why can she come here?" Lu Tai asked with a frown.
Mu Qing said: "Of course we leaked it deliberately."
"...Then she is really stupid."
"Yes." Mu Qing nodded and placed the Sanqing Sword Bracelet in front of Lu Tai.
Lu Tai's eyebrows suddenly sank: "Give this thing back!"
Mu Qing ignored him and turned around and walked outside.
Lu Tai quickly called out to him, "This object is an inherited treasure of the Zhou family. It must be returned, otherwise..."
"What else would happen?"
Mu Qing grabbed the words, turned to look at the landing platform, and said sincerely: "What will happen to her if she loses this thing? What will happen to the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Zhou family?"
"Hasn't she thought about it?"
"But she still exchanged the sword sutra in my hand that day."
"Sect Master Lu."
"You and I are the most
The big difference is that I know what kind of person I am, and you actually know it too, but you have a big shortcoming, that is, you will restrain yourself because of your identity. "
Mu Qing stopped staying and turned around to leave.
Lu Tai quickly said to Zhou Shuang who was still there: "This thing is very important to the Zhou family. Don't be trivial. Take it away quickly."
Zhou Shuang frowned and looked at the Sanqing Sword Bracelet.
In fact, she only knew that the Sanqing Sword Bracelet was in Mu Qing's hand. Thinking of how much Zhou Yun had done for her, Zhou Shuang raised her head and said, "Sect Master Lu, if you like my aunt, then you are not worthy of her love." .”
