Spacious and bright room.
A soft and cool breeze blew in from the window, and a bouquet of flowers placed by the window sill swayed with a faint fragrance.
Chang Qing sat beside the bed, looking a little confused.
His body was covered with bandages, and his face was as pale as white paper.
At the door of the room, Lou Qing and Lan Meng looked excited.
woke up!
He finally woke up!
At this level, the other party has managed to survive.
"Teacher, junior brother..." Lou Qing stepped forward, his eyes were red, and he, who had always been calm, could not hide his excitement at this moment.
Chang Qing came back to his senses for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on his lips: "Didn't even the Lord of Hell confiscate it from me?"
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door.
Then Xiao Nuo's voice came from outside.
"The Palace of Nirvana has not yet risen, and the Sky Burial Sword has not returned yet. How can you die?"
Immediately, Xiao Nuo, Guan Xiang, and Ying Jinhuan stepped into the room.
Guan Xiang was also extremely excited, and he said: "Yes, junior brother is right, we haven't recaptured the Sky Burial Sword, and we haven't let the Nirvana Palace rise, how can you die?"
Lan Meng on the side covered her mouth, her mood was a little unstable.
Although Chang Qing woke up, she did not dare to tell him that from now on, he could no longer use force or touch the sword.
Chang Qing's most important goal in this life is to become a sword king.
If he knew that he was reduced to a useless person, the blow would probably be worse than death.
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, the bitter smile on Chang Qing's face turned into a gentle smile.
He looked sideways at his right shoulder: "It's good to be alive, but what does that mean?"
Guan Xiang quickly explained: "Senior Brother Chang Qing, because your injury is so serious, even the third elder of yours cannot reattach your broken arm..."
Before Guan Xiang finished speaking, he immediately paused.
"You, your arm?"
Guan Xiang's stunned look also attracted other attention.
Xiao Nuo, Lou Qing, and Lan Meng were all stunned.
Chang Qing's right arm is... still there!
what happened?
In the battle at Zhaotian Palace, Chang Qing had his right arm chopped off by Jianxiu Shen Liufeng in order to cover Lou Qing's departure...
Because the other party's injury was extremely serious, the three elders were not sure whether Chang Qing could survive. As for the broken arm, there was no hope of it being repaired.
But now, Chang Qing's hands are intact.
Xiao Nuo subconsciously took a few steps forward. When he settled down and took a look, the corners of his eyes could not help but shrink.
I saw that Chang Qing's hand was not a normal human hand, but a green-brown wooden arm...
"This is?"
Xiao Nuo frowned.
Others also noticed something was wrong.
Chang Qing raised his right hand with a puzzled face. The green-brown wooden arm was not particularly flexible, but the five fingers could move.
He asked, "Can't anyone tell me why?"
"Who did this?" Lou Qing asked puzzled.
Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Even Ying Jinhuan shook his head.
At this time, a timid voice came from the door.
"Yes, it's me!"
Everyone's attention shifted to the petite figure at the door. The other person was none other than Yanying.
Yanying held on to the door frame and huddled half of her body behind the door. She looked at Xiao Nuo weakly with her big innocent eyes, as if she was afraid that she had done something wrong.
"It's you?" Xiao Nuo couldn't believe it.
Yanying nodded silently, and then replied in a low voice: "Two days ago, I thought he was going to die. I was afraid that you would be sad, so I... rescued him."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Xiao Nuo became more and more unbelievable. When he was in Holy Tree City before, he had never heard the old city master of Yanbei Mountain say that Yanying had such an ability.
Even in the eyes of countless people, Yanying is not even a normal girl.
Ying Jinhuan asked: "How did you rescue him?"
Yanying hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her delicate left hand.
Then, she closed her eyes gently, and after a few seconds, she opened them.
"Wow!"
A soft wind of revival passed through the hall, and everyone in the room couldn't help but be shaken. Then, a ball of emerald green light surged in Yanying's palm.
Inside the ball of light, the shadow of a huge tree could be vaguely seen.
"This is?" Xiao Nuo couldn't help but think of the 'ancient spiritual tree' in Holy Tree City. The spiritual energy fluctuations released by Yan Ying were somewhat close to the aura of the ancient spiritual tree before.
"What a powerful breath of life..." Ying Jin sighed happily.
Yanying tightened her fingers, and the green light in her palm dissipated.
Seeing this scene, no one had any doubts.
But what replaced it was more surprise.
"What's going on with Chang Qing's arm?" Lan Meng came over and asked.
Yanying said: "I created it with the 'power of wood'. The power of wood can grow. But it needs time to adapt. After a while, it will become as flexible as my own hands."
Lan Meng's eyes lit up.
They seemed to feel that they had underestimated Yanying before.
Everyone thought Yanying would only drag people down, including Xiao Nuo.
Unexpectedly, this timid little girl is actually a treasure.
"Then can Senior Brother Chang Qing's tendons be restored? Can he still use force in the future?" Guan Xiang asked subconsciously.
As soon as these words came out, Lan Meng and Lou Qing's expressions suddenly changed.
Even Chang Qing's pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Are all your muscles and veins broken?
Chang Qing's already pale complexion was even more uneasy at this moment.
If you can't practice, what's the point of living?
Guan Xiang also suddenly realized that he spoke too fast. Originally, Lan Meng and Lou Qing planned to hide Chang Qing for a while, and then confess to each other after the other party's condition improved.
But Guan Xiang's quick words immediately caught several people off guard.
In this case, we can only hope to gain hope from Yanying.
"I, I can't do it now..." Yanying's answer immediately extinguished the fire of hope in Chang Qing's heart.
Can't do it!
These three words made Chang Qing tremble all over.
Lou Qing, Lan Meng and others were helpless.
Even the Third Elder couldn't do it, how could a little girl like Yanying do it?
Guan wanted to walk up to Yanying and asked, "What happens next? Can you do it?"
Yanying shook her head: "I don't know when."
In the room, the atmosphere fell into silence.
Chang Qing lowered his head, a wry smile on his face.
His heart was filled with bitterness and an indescribable taste.
At this time, Xiao Nuo spoke: "You are not even afraid of death, would you still lose confidence in the face of such a thing?"
Chang Qing shook his head: "You don't understand!"
"Of course I understand..." Xiao Nuo said loudly, "I understood it three years ago."
Although there are not many people who feel the same way in the world, Xiao Nuo can really understand Chang Qing's mood.
Back then, Xiao Nuo was the number one genius in Xiyue City, but he fell from a high building to the bottom of a valley because of the loss of Tianhuang's blood.
At that time, no one helped Xiao Nuo.
At that time, there was really no hope.
"At least you still have hope now..."
As he said that, Xiao Nuo turned his hand and took out four top-grade Tianyuan Pills.
"This is what I said I would give you when I was in the Demon Nest of the Nether Cave."
Everyone's heartstrings tightened.
Lou Qing, Lan Meng, and Guan Xiang all looked at the Tianyuan Pills in each other's hands in shock.
Especially Chang Qing, his arms were shaking uneasily.
Xiao Nuo solemnly said: "The moon does not change the brightness, the sword does not change the strength when it is broken, the moon changes the soul easily, and the sword becomes good again when it is broken... The Nirvana Palace has not been disbanded yet, are you going to give up?"
Every word struck Chang Qing's heart like a hammer.
He clenched his hands into fists, a faint fire gradually ignited in his eyes, and he stood up tremblingly.
"I know what to do, junior brother... thank you very much!"
Seeing Chang Qing, Lou Qing, Lan Meng and Guan Xiang cheer up, they all gathered towards Xiao Nuo, symbolizing the last fire in the Nirvana Palace.
Ying Jinhuan looked at Xiao Nuo's profile with some confusion. She turned around and walked outside the hospital alone.
Ying Jinhuan looked up at the blue sky, her melancholy and beautiful eyes seemed to have faint ripples.
The fire of Nirvana is still burning!
The battle for the Sky Burial Sword is not over yet!
…
The next day.
Piao Miao Three Halls.
The third elder formally summoned Xiao Nuo.
There were only two people in the huge palace, the old man and the young man.
The third elder held in his hand the "Ten Beasts Picture" that Xiao Nuo had just given.
"Third Elder, in these ten beasts, there are six-clawed desert beasts, phantom poison beasts and other cubs of four general-level monsters. The total is 23,000 sect contribution points, as well as some bits and pieces. , it can also be exchanged for thousands of contribution points... It should almost be able to fill up the contribution points of Nirvana Palace in the past three years!"
Xiao Nuo said.
The third elder did not open the Ten Beasts Map. He looked at Xiao Nuo and said, "What if I insist on disbanding the Nirvana Palace?"
Xiao Nuo was slightly startled.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will leave the Piaomiao Sect!"
"Huh?" The third elder frowned and said, "You have only been here for a few months. You have neither seen the style of the previous palace master nor witnessed the glory of the Nirvana Palace at its peak, so why are you so persistent?"
Xiao Nuo said without hesitation: "I have my own reasons."
The third elder had a headache.
In fact, he wanted to disband Nirvana Hall to protect those in Nirvana Hall, but everyone was so persistent.
"That's all..." The third elder waved his hand: "We will postpone the dissolution of Nirvana Hall until later."
"Thank you, Third Elder." Xiao Nuo showed a smile.
The third elder sighed and then asked: "I haven't given you a reward for the last mission to Holy Tree City. This trip to the Demon Nest in the Nether Cave, you have once again maintained the dignity of the Piaomiao Sect. I and all the elders After discussion, you will be promoted to a 'First Grade Disciple'."
"Thank you, elder."
"I see you're not particularly happy?"
"The honor of a first-grade disciple is extremely high, but to a disciple, it is just a false name." Xiao Nuo replied.
"Ha..." The third elder chuckled: "You, junior, openly say that this is a false reputation, but secretly you are scolding me for being stingy."
"Disciples don't dare!"
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Disciple, I really don't dare." Xiao Nuo pretended to shirk.
The third elder snorted and said: "But it doesn't matter. You killed the Fourth Sword Sect Master and solved the problem of Holy Tree City. These are two great achievements. My old man will not be stingy."
Xiao Nuo's handsome eyebrows raised slightly: "Then what did I say?"
"explain!"
"I want Jiuxiao Huanyin..."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the third elder immediately widened his eyes.
He quickly asked: "Who told you to ask for this? Change it, change it quickly..."
Naturally, Xiao Nuo would not confess Ying Jinhuan.
But Xiao Nuo didn't expect the third elder's reaction to be so big.
It seems that the so-called "Nine Heavens Ring Sound" has quite a lot of background.
Xiao Nuo was in trouble: "To be honest with the elders, apart from the 'Nine Heavens Ring Sound', there is nothing else that the disciple wants..."
The third elder blew his beard and stared, his old hand holding the scepter was shaking: "Tell me who told you, and I will hit her on the head right now."
Xiao Nuo has only been in Piaomiao Sect for a few months, and it is absolutely impossible for him to know about the "Nine Heavens Ring Sound".
Someone must have ordered it.
"Alas!" Xiao Nuo sighed, and he cupped his hands: "Since the third elder is in trouble, let's forget it."
After saying that, Xiao Nuo walked out with a disappointed look on his face.
The third elder gritted his teeth. If Xiao Nuo left, wouldn't the entire sect scold him for being stingy?
However, this guy was so stubborn that he didn't give any room for negotiation.
Seeing that Xiao Nuo was about to reach the door, the third elder said helplessly: "Come back!"
"Is there anything else wrong with Third Elder?" Xiao Nuo turned around and asked.
"Hmph, Jiuxiao Huanyin, I'll give it to you!"
After saying that, the third elder rolled his sleeves and waved, followed by a burst of brilliant light and dust, and the hall was suddenly filled with beauty.
"Get it!"
The third elder threw out a ray of light and shadow and flew towards Xiao Nuo. Xiao Nuo had quick eyes and quick hands. He turned around and took the light and shadow into his hand.
"bass!"
The sound of vibrating strings reached his ears, and Xiao Nuo's mind suddenly shook.
What caught his eye was an extremely exquisite guqin.
The piano has seven strings, and the body is relatively heavy. The whole body seems to be made of some kind of black ancient wood.
On the front of the piano body, there is a pattern of the Nine Sky Clouds, and on the edge of the piano body, the four simple characters "Nine Heavens Huanyin" are engraved.
"Good piano!"
The moment Xiao Nuo took possession of Jiuxiao Huanyin, he felt a great sense of surprise.
Xiao Nuo's fingertips touched the strings. As the strings vibrated, the image of the Nine Heavenly Clouds above came alive, covering the piano body like a flame cloud.
A heavenly spiritual weapon?
Xiao Nuo secretly thought.
Although the Ming Yue Qin left behind by Senior Brother Lu Zhu is also a rare treasure, one can compare it with the Jiuxiao Huanyin at a glance.
Xiao Nuo felt like he had gotten a big deal, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.
Xiao Nuo was so happy that the third elder's teeth were chattering with anger.
This Jiuxiao Huanyin was a treasure he had collected for many years, and now giving it to someone else would be even more uncomfortable than cutting his flesh and draining his blood.
Regret it!
I really want to come back!
The third elder was about to show off his face and ask for the piano back, but Xiao Nuo simply thought of it and took Jiuxiao Huanyin into his bag.
"Thank you, Third Elder. I will take my leave, junior!"
After saying that, Xiao Nuo immediately turned around and slipped out of the hall without looking back.
The third elder was about to cry but had no tears: "Good boy, I have fallen into your trap."
It was obvious that Xiao Nuo came to Jiuxiao Huanyin from the very beginning. The third elder felt a pain in his body, and his old heart was broken into countless petals.
"Oh! It's so difficult. I think most of my body has been buried in the ground, and I still have to face such a big obstacle!"
The third elder turned around with an expression that was both sad and funny at the same time.
And, just at this moment...
A deep voice came from the rear of the hall.
"Are you still thinking about disbanding the Nirvana Hall?" This voice was majestic, and the invisible sense of oppression was stronger than that of the third elder.
The third elder put away his sadness and nodded: "Yes!"
The other party asked: "How long do you want to give the Nirvana Palace?"
The third elder replied: "Half a year!"
"Well..." the voice from the back of the main hall elongated slightly: "In half a year, Nirvana Hall will almost usher in the eighth 'worship the mountain and seize the sword'..."
