"Your father is a great man. He is not a disciple of the three sects, but his achievements and reputation are unmatched by any disciple of the same age in the three sects.
There was a sense of righteousness in him, and his heart was always focused on hoeing the strong and supporting the weak. Many people had received his favor. Before his accident, many young disciples regarded him as a role model. "
Hearing that his father was such an admirable person, Bu Xiaotian not only felt not happy at all, but also felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
He was obviously such a good person, but in the end he was abandoned by everyone in the world!
Bu Xiaotian suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked again:
"My father and my mother, how did they meet?"
"At that time, a few of our brothers and I met for a walk down the mountain, and happened to meet your mother and your uncle Situ Long tracking down a demon cult, so we went with them.
When we found those people, we saw them besieging a young swordsman.
Although the young swordsman was not weak in cultivation, he was no match for the dozens of demon sect masters who besieged him. He had already suffered serious injuries when we arrived, but we did not see the slightest fear on his face.
We took action and killed most of the demon cult monsters, and the rest fled.
Since then, the young swordsman has adventured everywhere with us and experienced many things.
Later, we received a message from inside the door, calling all the disciples who were away to return to the mountain, so we separated from him and your mother.
By the time we heard the news about him again, it was already a year later, when the war between good and evil had completely broken out, and the name of 'Xuan Tie Swordsman' Bu Yunxiao was already known to everyone among the two. , no one knows.
But it is said that although he was frank and upright and had friends all over the world, he always kept to himself.
Later, when we saw your mother again at Moyun Cliff, we found out that not long after we left, your mother also received the news from Situ Villa and hurried back.
In Moyun Cliff, the righteous side is in a weak position. When your mother and I went out to investigate together, we encountered an ambush by the masters of the Demon Cult and almost died. But at the critical moment, a black sword light cut through the siege, and then came One man came with a sword.
That man was like a sword god in this world. He fought dozens of demon sect masters with one sword and one man without losing. He escaped from their siege with us who were injured. It was your father who saved us.
I didn't expect that your father's cultivation would reach such a level after just one year. I was really surprised and delighted.
But just when we were out of danger, someone recognized that he was carrying the "Holy Heaven Secret". In order not to implicate us, your father left in a hurry after we were out of danger.
Later, wars between the good and the evil sect occurred frequently. The good sect was unable to defeat the demonic sect, with more defeats and fewer wins. Countless masters died.
One time we had the upper hand, and a large number of righteous disciples rushed into the Demon Sect's camp. Unexpectedly, the Demon Sect was deliberately showing weakness in order to kill all the remaining righteous masters.
When we woke up, many people were already surrounded by the Demon Cult, and they were about to lose their support. It was your father who took action to kill dozens of Demon Cult masters and let them escape.
Later, several of your uncles and I teamed up to use forbidden techniques and killed hundreds of masters of the Demon Cult, but we also paid a huge price. Except for me and your uncle Gu, the other brothers all exhausted their essence, and we also Passed out.
When we woke up again, the war was over. Although the righteous path won in the end, it was a tragic victory. And because your father possessed the magic skills of the demon sect, even though he helped the righteous path several times, he was still not tolerated by the righteous path. Pursued by the remaining demon sect masters, your mother also left Moyunya at that time and disappeared without a trace.
Later I heard that your father had killed countless masters of the Demon Cult who were chasing him, and for a while no one dared to chase him anymore.
Since then, your father's matter has become a taboo, and neither the righteous nor the demonic sect will mention it easily. "
Hearing this, Bu Xiaotian didn't know what he was feeling.
He suddenly remembered the story Duan Jiuzhou told her. At that time, he never imagined that the man Duan Jiuzhou was talking about would be his biological father!
Looking at Bu Xiaotian's expression, Xiao Tianxiong knew that it would be difficult for him to accept the truth for a while, so he stopped talking about the past and said instead:
"The past is in the past and it is difficult to change. The most important thing for you now is how to survive."
When Bu Xiaotian heard Xiao Tianxiong's words, he suppressed his surging thoughts and looked at Xiao Tianxiong.
"I know what Senior Brother Xuanyun told you. What he told you is indeed the only two ways to save you, but just like what he said, these two ways can only be relied on by yourself. Even with our cultivation I can't help you with anything.
Now that you know everything you want to know, you can calm down and think about what to do earlier. "
After speaking, Xiao Tianxiong took out a book with dozens of pages from his arms and placed it on the table, saying:
"These are some insights from my practice. I hope it will be of some help to you."
Bu Xiaotian knew that Xiao Tianxiong had never given guidance to several senior brothers in practice, but now he took out such a booklet. He was so moved that he immediately stood up and thanked:
"Thank you Master!"
Xiao Tianxiong shook his head and said in a complicated tone:
"No need to thank me, after all we owe your father a lot!"
After saying that, Xiao Tianxiong stood up and left, leaving Bu Xiaotian alone in the room.
Bu Xiaotian looked at the booklet on the table, but did not pick it up and read it immediately. Xiao Tianxiong's last words reminded him of his parents again.
He finally knew his life experience, but he didn't expect that the truth would be so cruel.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three months, everything on Purple Thunder Peak seemed to have returned to its original appearance. The senior brothers occasionally came to visit Bu Xiaotian, and they were relieved to see that he looked better and better and could use his true energy.
Xiao Tianxiong never appeared in front of Bu Xiaotian again since that day.
Bu Xiaotian seemed to have gotten over the shock of his life experience, and there seemed to be nothing strange about him.
Everything seems to be going in the best direction.
But only Bu Xiaotian himself knew that although his injuries were gradually recovering, his innate energy was still being lost.
He only had nine months left.
With the help of the book left by Xiao Tianxiong, his cultivation has improved a lot, and he has touched the threshold of the "Shenxu" realm. Such an advancement is terrifying.
But every time he flipped through the book, he would unconsciously think of everything Xiao Tianxiong told him, making it difficult for him to go further.
There was little hope of reaching the legendary holy realm in the remaining time. He also tried to feel the Canglong Pearl in his body, but although he could feel the existence of the Canglong Pearl, he never got any response. Not to mention the spirituality that evokes it.
The already weak glimmer of hope seemed to be cut off.
That night, Bu Xiaotian didn't disturb anyone. He hid his figure with the help of his Qingyun robe, quietly left Purple Thunder Peak, and returned to his room before dawn.
The sky was getting brighter, and the lights came on in Zileifeng's kitchen, followed by smoke.
That was Si Yunrang cooking for everyone.
Not long after, the senior brothers arrived in the dining room one after another. Yun Ying followed Bu Xiaotian closely, obviously still worried about his health.
After everyone finished their breakfast while chatting and laughing, Yun Ying said to Bu Xiaotian who wanted to go back to his room to practice:
"Brother Xiaotian, the apricot blossoms on the mountain are blooming. They are so beautiful. Let's go out for a walk together!"
Bu Xiaotian saw Yun Ying looking at him expectantly. Thinking of her worries about him in the past three months, Bu Xiaotian smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"good."
Seeing Bu Xiaotian agreed, Yun Ying immediately cheered, hugged Bu Xiaotian's arm and walked up the mountain with him.
The other people smiled slightly when they saw the two men's actions and did not disturb them.
Although it was already early April, spring came much later on the mountain than down below.
Bu Xiaotian and Yun Ying walked on the mountain road, looking at the wild flowers all over the mountains and the branches that had just sprouted new buds, the haze in their hearts dissipated a lot unconsciously.
"唳——"
A loud cry came from afar, and not long after, a black shadow flew out of the forest and hovered above the two of them.
It's Cai'er.
Cai'er hovered above the two of them for a moment, then slowly landed in front of them, handing a bright wild flower in her mouth to Yun Ying's hand.
Yun Ying stretched out his hand to take the wild flower, his face full of surprise, he couldn't wait to bring the wild flower in his hand to Bu Xiaotian, and said happily:
"Brother Xiaotian, look! This flower is so beautiful!"
Seeing Yun Ying's happy look, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but reveal a doting smile on his face. He reached out and touched Yun Ying's hair, and nodded with a smile:
"Well, it is indeed beautiful!"
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's praise, Yun Ying looked even happier and said to Cai'er in front of him:
"Cai'er, thank you! You are great!"
Cai'er received Yun Ying's praise, narrowed her shining eyes, and let out another loud cry, then soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
The two of them walked in the mountains and enjoyed the scenery, enjoying themselves.
Suddenly, Yun Ying shouted:
"Brother Xiaotian, look, someone seems to be coming!"
When Bu Xiaotian heard this, he looked up and looked in the direction pointed by Yun Ying, and saw a few golden figures flying slowly towards Purple Thunder Peak.
"Are they from Buddhism? I wonder why they came to Purple Thunder Peak? Let's go back and have a look."
Of course Yun Ying would not refuse, so the two of them walked along the mountain road towards Zhenlei Palace.
When they arrived at Zhenlei Hall, several senior brothers were talking with two people dressed as monks in the hall.
Bu Xiaotian saw the faces of the two monks sitting among them at a glance, and said hello with some surprise:
"Senior Brother Faming! Senior Brother Faxiang!"
When Faming heard someone calling him, he immediately turned his head and looked over. Seeing that it was Bu Xiaotian, he responded with a smile:
"Junior Brother Bu, you are indeed back!"
The Dharma Prime Minister also said hello to Bu Xiaotian.
Bu Xiaotian had already entered the hall at this time, nodded slightly to several senior brothers, then found an empty seat to sit down, and Yun Ying sat next to him.
"Well, it's been a while since I came back. I wonder how you came to Purple Thunder Peak?"
"We come here mainly for two things. First, we have just told several senior brothers that the Demon Cult has been making moves for the past year. Recently, a large number of Demon Cult demons have gathered in the southwest of Shuzhou. It is said that it is the legendary Kunlun Fairy Mountain. Coming soon.
The second is to come and return your mount. You were in a hurry that day, so the black donkey stayed at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. We took this opportunity to bring it with us. "
Speaking of the black donkey, Bu Xiaotian almost forgot about it before he could take it away at the Jade Buddha Temple. Unexpectedly, Faming and Faxiang actually sent it to Purple Thunder Peak, and they thanked him immediately:
"It's really troublesome for these two senior brothers!"
After saying that, Bu Xiaotian raised his head and looked outside the hall, but did not see the shadow of the black donkey. He couldn't help but asked with some doubts:
"Where is the black donkey? Did he go somewhere else?"
Fa Ming shook his head, handed the alms bowl in his hand to Bu Xiaotian, and said:
"it's here."
Bu Xiaotian looked intently into the alms bowl, and suddenly his face showed surprise.
I saw a black donkey, no bigger than a baby's fist, lying in an alms bowl and sleeping soundly.
At this time, Yun Ying also curiously came over to see the scene in the alms bowl clearly, and immediately exclaimed:
"Ah! It's really brother Xiaotian's black donkey! How did it become so small?"
Fa Ming smiled and explained:
"This is a magical power of our Jade Buddha Temple. It is replaced by Xumi mustard seeds. It is said that in ancient times, there was a supreme Buddha who could hide the ten thousand feet high Mount Xumi in mustard seeds. This is where the name comes from."
Hearing what Fa Ming said, Yun Ying couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in disbelief:
"Awesome! Can you really hide a huge mountain in a tiny mustard seed?"
Fa Ming smiled and shook his head and said:
"It's just that there are such legends recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, but I don't know if it is really a poor monk. This method can only cultivate the skin of the poor monk. The black donkey can only be put in this alms bowl."
Cheng Yunliang smiled at this moment and said:
"Junior Brother Fa Ming is humble. I have heard of this Sumeru Mustard Seed method before. It is a first-class Buddhist magical power. There are very few people who have been able to practice it in the past and present. This shows that Senior Brother Fa Ming has amazing talent."
Fa Ming was praised in this way, with a bit of an embarrassed smile on his face, and said quickly:
"Amitabha, I'm so ashamed! I'm so sorry!"
While a few people were talking and laughing on the mountain, in an inn in Yuyang City, Mo Li was packing his luggage and kept cursing:
"Asshole! You said you would never leave me alone, and now you say we won't see each other again! You are a bastard who doesn't keep your word!"
At this time, Mo Li's eyes were red and swollen, and there were still wet tears on his face. It was obvious that he had just cried.
Since Bu Xiaotian returned to the mountain three months ago, Mo Li has been waiting in the inn every day, expecting that Bu Xiaotian would suddenly appear in front of her one day.
But she waited and waited, and as the days passed, she didn't get any news from Bu Xiaotian, and her worries became more and more intense.
This morning, when she got up, she found a letter on the table with the words "Mo Li personally expresses it" written on it. At that time, she recognized that the handwriting on the envelope was Bu Xiaotian's.
But when she opened the envelope with joy on her face, the contents inside made him unhappy no matter what.
This letter was indeed written by Bu Xiaotian, but there was no good news about Bu Xiaotian's recovery. Instead, it contained his farewell words full of guilt.
In the letter, Bu Xiaotian said that she knew her chances of survival were slim, so she didn't want to delay her, so she didn't have to wait any longer and go back to Yaowang Valley earlier. See you!
Mo Li read the letter with tears in her eyes and wanted to tear it up, but after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't make up her mind and could only cry secretly by the window.
After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he wiped away his tears and packed his luggage.
That morning, Mo Li left Yuyang City without looking back and headed southwest.
…
On Purple Thunder Peak, Fa Ming and Fa Xiang had already left, and Hei Donkey followed Bu Xiaotian back to his small courtyard excitedly.
After Bu Xiaotian returned to the small courtyard, he patted the black donkey's head gently and said softly:
"Just stay outside and don't run around."
The black donkey seemed to notice that Bu Xiaotian was in a bad mood, and stayed outside the courtyard very obediently. However, after a while, he heard the clatter of hooves going away. Apparently he couldn't bear the temper and went for a stroll elsewhere.
Bu Xiaotian sat in the small courtyard in a daze for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a burst of soft footsteps came closer and closer, pulling Bu Xiaotian back from his thoughts.
Bu Xiaotian thought it was Yun Ying coming, so he turned around and said:
"film…"
The next words were stuck in his throat, because the person standing outside the courtyard door at this moment was not Yun Ying, but a girl who was as quiet and cold as the moonlight.
Seeing the look of surprise on Bu Xiaotian's face, the man called out softly:
"Junior Brother Bu."
"Senior Sister Lan! Why are you here?"
The visitor was Lan Yunxin, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Lan Yunxin walked into the small courtyard slowly, sat opposite Bu Xiaotian, and replied:
"I heard that you were seriously injured when you returned to the mountain a few days ago. I have always wanted to come and visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing your recovery. Today, I thought that your injury should be almost healed, so I thought of coming to see you."
Bu Xiaotian heard an indescribable emotion in his heart, and finally couldn't help showing a bitter smile and said:
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lan, for your concern. My injury is almost healed."
Unexpectedly, Lan Yunxin shook his head and said:
"You're lying. Although you seem to have recovered, you still have a vague aura of twilight all over your body. What happened?"
Bu Xiaotian wanted to say it was nothing, but he didn't want to deceive Lan Yunxin:
"I won't live much longer."
"What?"
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's words, Lan Yunxin, who had always had a calm expression, showed a look of surprise on her face, and couldn't help but ask:
"Why is this happening? What happened? Master Xiao and the others can't cure you, either?"
Seeing the worry and anxiety that could not be concealed on Lan Yunxin's face, Bu Xiaotian felt warm in his heart, but his face calmly shook his head:
"There is nothing I can do. I have less than 10% of my innate energy left and it is still losing. I will die in nine months at most."
Of course Lan Yunxin knew what it meant to have less than 10% of the innate energy left, and he also knew that this situation was almost irreversible.
Bu Xiaotian saw the expression on Lan Yunxin's face changing constantly, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but knowing that any words seemed pale and weak at this time, he could only say cruelly:
"Okay, Senior Sister Lan, don't worry about me. Maybe this is fate. If nothing happens, please go back. I want to rest."
Lan Yunxin felt very uncomfortable, but seeing that Bu Xiaotian had already stood up and walked to the room, he had no choice but to stand up slowly and leave the small courtyard in silence.
At this moment, it seemed that even the spring scenery in the mountains had lost its vitality.
