"Shuan'er."
Luo Qingyun called out weakly, and the moment she raised her head to Shu, she put all the coldness in her eyes away.
She looked into Luo Qingyun's helpless and loving eyes, turned her head slightly and lowered her eyes and whispered: "Elder, I want to talk to my mother alone."
After hearing this, the First Elder looked at Luo Qingyun who was lying on the bed. Seeing her calm expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and silently stood up and left.
After the eldest elder left, Luo Qingyun's pale cheeks suddenly regained a trace of rosiness. She straightened up and grabbed Xiang Shu's small hand with her backhand. She said solemnly: "Shi'er, get out of here quickly."
Xiang Shen pursed his thin lips and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Her tone was low and her expression was calm without panic, which was completely different from the childish mentality she usually displayed.
Luo Qingyun was anxious in her heart, but she didn't notice this. She held Xiang Shu's hand tightly: "Don't ask any more questions, listen to mother, immediately..."
Before she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, she turned her head and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the entire pillowcloth red.
Xiang Shuo quickly dragged Luo Qingyun, who was falling softly, and pointed at the key point of his heart.
A wisp of sword intent immediately penetrated Luo Qingyun's body from her fingertips, sweeping away the black energy that was rapidly infecting Luo Qingyun's heart.
Under such a shock, the corners of Luo Qingyun's mouth, which was in a coma, were filled with red again, and her breath was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiang Shu reached out and wiped the blood ring, took out a gourd of Yuanquan and poured it into Luo Qingyun's body.
The warm medicinal power of the Yuanquan spread rapidly as it circulated towards the true Yuan. After a few breaths, Luo Qingyun's breathing returned to a bit heavier and became much smoother, but it was still declining at a slow rate.
Xiang Shen frowned slightly, and the true energy flowed into Luo Qingyun's body through the wrist veins again, and he examined it carefully.
The moment she grabbed Luo Qingyun's wrist when she came in, she discovered the unknown black energy flowing in his body, so she immediately sent the great elder away to facilitate treatment.
But that sword strike had clearly cleared all the black energy from Luo Qingyun's body. Why didn't she get better and was she still weakening?
Xiang Shu frowned and checked every inch, and finally found a clue. I saw the empty Dantian with my spiritual sense, and a trace of black energy emerged out of thin air, and then traveled upward along the meridians, and was killed by the remaining sword energy in the meridians.
These wisps of black energy are not much, but the victory lies in the continuous flow. The sword energy is constantly being consumed, and it will fade away in a moment, and the black energy suddenly has the tendency to rekindle.
Xiang Shen turned his gaze, touched the blood on the pillow with his fingertips, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
The aura of black energy was somewhat similar to the black tide of Guijian, but it gave her a completely different feeling. But if she wanted to say what the specific difference was, she couldn't tell.
Her eyes flashed slightly, and her spiritual consciousness swept outside the room. "Seeing" that the great elder was still sighing outside and had no intention of coming in, she immediately formed a seal with her hands, golden threads emerged from between her, and finally the word "forbidden" was condensed.
With the seal now complete, Xiang Shu stretched out his right hand and pushed lightly, and the golden forbidden rune immediately sank into Luo Qingyun's body, turning into a golden cage to lock the Dantian.
The black energy was trapped in the dantian, Luo Qingyun's breath quickly returned to stability, and some color returned to her pale cheeks.
Xiang Shen was slightly relieved when he saw this, but his expression was not relaxed.
When she left in the morning, Luo Qingyun was still fine. The black energy that erupted without opening her mouth must be caused by some external cause that she didn't understand.
Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of something and looked up at the great elder outside the room.
He also explored Luo Qingyun and was not surprised at all when he saw the black energy.
Xiang Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind. He stood up and left the room, came to stand behind the great elder, and asked directly: "First elder, what happened to my mother?"
The great elder turned around and saw Xiang Shu's little face that was trying to be calm. He felt heartbroken. He sighed deeply and said, "Shuan'er, your mother... probably won't survive."
Xiang Shen took a few steps forward and walked to the side of the elder. His tone was so calm that there was no wave of ripples: "Mom vomited blood. There is black energy in the blood. What is that black energy?"
The great elder looked at Xiang Shu in front of him blankly, feeling a little strange. The sweet and sweet children's voices in the classroom in the past were still in my ears, but today they sounded completely different, cold and numb.
This blow was too big for an eleven-year-old child.
He couldn't bear to hear this the most. His muddy old eyes turned slightly red. He knelt down and said softly: "Don't be afraid, my child. If mother is gone, you still have many brothers and sisters..."
"When have I ever been afraid?"
Xiang Shen frowned, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, "Great Elder, I just want to know the origin of those black energy, aren't you willing to tell me?"
The great elder was suddenly stunned. He looked at the calm eyes that were frowning in front of him, and saw only a trace of impatience and displeasure, not even the slightest hint of...sadness?
He was startled by his thoughts and subconsciously avoided Xiang Shu's eyes.
This little girl is only eleven years old, so she probably doesn't know what vomiting blood means, or even what death is.
Yes, that must be the case.
Xiang Shu could tell the elder's thoughts at a glance, and immediately realized that he was impatient and lacked some cover, which scared the old man.
The coldness in her eyes faded slightly, and she added aloud: "Elder Elder, I saw that my mother's face looked much better after she vomited blood, so I wanted to ask about the origin of the black energy. If the problem of black energy can be solved, would my mother be the best? Can it be cured?"
As soon as these words came out, the elder's face immediately became much better. It turned out that the silly girl thought so, no wonder she wasn't sad.
But if she is contaminated with that kind of thing, the child's mother may not be able to live for a few days.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Since you are curious, I will tell you that your mother must have been in a strange place in her early years."
"Cunning ground?!"
It was the first time Xiang Shuan heard this term, but for some reason, his intuition told him that it was related to the existence of Incense Palace.
"Yes, it's just a weird place."
The Great Elder sighed, "This is a natural disaster that has occurred in recent years. It is more terrifying and strange than the invasion of the Earthly Demons.
The strange land is an area shrouded in strange white mist. There is no pattern in the time and place of its appearance. Nowadays, three large-scale treacherous lands have taken root in the entire East Continent and are spreading. It is very difficult for the five major sects to unite with many comrades to resist. "
A mysterious land that will expand on its own?
Xiang Shen's eyes flashed and he said, "Great Elder, this sounds somewhat similar to Gui Jian."
"You girl, you actually know about ghost streams?"
The great elder was surprised, but after thinking that Xiang Shu had spent the past year in the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion, he felt it was normal, and nodded and said: "It is indeed somewhat similar, but the speed and danger of the spread of the treacherous land is far greater than that of the Ghost Stream. .
The Guijian is still restrained by ancient seals, and there is a black tide. So far, only the territory of Tianyan Sect has suffered from the losses of the Guijian branch, and other territories do not have this crisis. "
When the great elder said this, he raised his head and looked beyond the cliff, with a hint of worry in his words: "If the strange land is not controlled in time, it will greedily devour all places and turn the entire Dongzhou into a hell on earth!"
Xiang Shu thought of Xiang Jianjue who was hurriedly summoned down the mountain. He suddenly had an idea in his mind and continued to ask: "How can we control the strange land?"
The great elder withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Xiang Shu, with a smile on his face: "I heard from your senior brother that when I took you back to the sect, I happened to bump into someone from the Incense Palace. Is this possible?"
It is indeed the Incense Palace!
A sharp look flashed across Xiang Shen's eyes. Lin Hai clearly hated the Incense Palace, but he tolerated it a lot. It turned out that the problem lay with Guidi.
"The power of incense can curb the spread of the strange land."
The Great Elder revealed the answer before Xiang Shen nodded, "This matter was accidentally discovered by Tianqing Pavilion a few years ago. After the five major sects discussed it, there were countless more Shen Ji Empress Temples in the secular world of Dongzhou."
At this point, the great elder thought of something and hurriedly explained: "Shuan'er, although the Shuanji Empress Temple was built by man, her deeds are real and not false. She has secular beliefs and is worthy of her name. Don't You should feel bad about it.”
Xiang Shen pursed his lips slightly and said, "Of course not."
She has no habit of believing in herself.
"That's good."
The great elder gently patted Xiang Shu on the shoulder, with a wry smile on his face: "If Empress Shu Ji is still alive, maybe we can deal with Guidi without the need for the Incense Palace."
Xiang Shen's mind was so sharp that he immediately understood the meaning and asked: "The elder is talking about... sword intention?"
"You girl, you actually know the meaning of the sword?"
The Great Elder was really shocked this time. None of the classics in the Sutra Pavilion recorded the sword's intention. How did Xiang Shu know?
"Disciple heard that Senior Brother Xiang Jianjue mentioned it accidentally."
Xiang Shen explained in a casual tone, "I just don't know why this sword intention can deal with Guidi?"
Jian Jue, this kid, talks nonsense about everything, and he is not afraid of damaging the foundation of his junior brothers and sisters.
The Great Elder scolded secretly, but did not forget to reply: "The strange white mist is formless and formless, and it can disturb people's hearts. It is extremely terrifying, and it is difficult for ordinary real energy to break it.
According to legend, the sword's will is so sharp that it can eliminate all illusions in the world and cut off one's own chaotic thoughts, allowing the swordsman to maintain a calm state at all times, and can enter and exit strange places as if there is no one there! "
Speaking of this, the great elder sighed again, "If we in Dongzhou can produce a second sword cultivator who clearly understands the sword's intention, the matter of the mysterious land will be much easier to handle."
Xiang Shu knew that the sword energy was sharp as early as in Siji City, but he didn't know that it could also be used to cut off his own emotions.
The meaning of the sword is mysterious. She has devoted herself to practicing it over the past year and has only figured out a few basic ways to use it. She doesn't know how to go further.
The Great Elder is not a sword cultivator, but he can know this... There are sword intention books hidden in Wanjian Sect!
Xiang Shen did not rush to ask where the classics were. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Great Elder, is there a strange place near the sect?"
The great elder's expression changed instantly, "This is top secret, who told you?"
"No one told."
Xiang Shen smiled slightly, "Just seeing how hurriedly Senior Brother Jian Jue left, and seeing how worried you were, Elder, I made some guesses."
"Can you guess based on these alone?"
The great elder was stunned. At this moment, he actually had the illusion that his mind had been crushed by an eleven-year-old child.
