Another three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Lan Yunxin came to see Bu Xiaotian several times, but Bu Xiaotian always avoided her.
Several senior brothers also discovered Bu Xiaotian's abnormality. Previously, they saw a faint trace of twilight energy lingering on Bu Xiaotian's body, and thought it was because he had not fully recovered from serious injuries, but now it is clear that Bu Xiaotian's injuries are all Okay, but instead of dissipating, the trace of twilight has become heavier and heavier.
Finally, two months ago, under questioning from several senior brothers, Bu Xiaotian slowly told his situation.
Several senior brothers were shocked when they heard that Bu Xiaotian only had a few months to live.
From then on, they neither practiced nor had fun on weekdays. They each searched through ancient books, trying to find a way to cure Bu Xiaotian, but in the end they found nothing.
Cheng Yunliang even made a special trip to find Xiao Tianxiong for this purpose, but Xiao Tianxiong's answer was that he could only rely on Bu Xiaotian himself for this disaster, and they could not help him much.
But their efforts were not completely fruitless. In addition to those two methods, there were two other methods that had the possibility of curing Bu Xiaotian.
One is to find the legendary elixir that can bring the dead back to life. If you can get the elixir, curing Bu Xiaotian will be a piece of cake. However, the theory of immortality has been illusory since ancient times. No one has ever really seen such a method. Even less hopeful than finding a needle in a haystack.
Another way is to seize other people's innate energy for your own use. Not to mention that robbing others of innate energy is a demonic act. The person whose innate energy is taken away will definitely die. Even if the innate energy is taken away, After all, what belongs to others belongs to others, and it can only extend Bu Xiaotian's lifespan by a few decades at most. What will he do then? Do you want to do something like that again?
Moreover, even among demon sects, this type of technique is a rare secret technique. How could they possibly obtain it?
So even though they all know this method, no one has ever mentioned it.
When Bu Xiaotian saw that several senior brothers were thinking very hard about his affairs, he once persuaded them to give up. But they all watched Bu Xiaotian grow up, how could they watch him dying day by day and do nothing?
Now Yun Ying is the only one on Purple Thunder Peak who still doesn’t know that Bu Xiaotian only has a few months left to live. Others know about Yun Ying’s feelings for Bu Xiaotian. If they knew this, they would definitely be extremely sad, so they discussed Well, never mention this matter in front of Yun Ying again.
Yun Ying only found that everyone seemed to be much busier than before, but he didn't know what they were busy with. Under the influence of everyone, he began to practice hard.
Bu Xiaotian practiced hard every day, but his cultivation seemed to be stuck. He had made no progress in three months.
His chance of survival seemed to be gone.
On this day, Xiao Tianxiong, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared at Purple Thunder Peak and summoned several people who had left Yunying to Zhenlei Hall.
When everyone arrived, Xiao Tianxiong, who was sitting among you, said directly:
"I called you here today because I have two things to tell you."
After saying that, seeing everyone looking at him, he didn't show any concern and continued:
"The first thing I'm sure you've heard before is that the legendary Kunlun Fairy Mountain is about to appear. This year, the Demon Sect has been trying to make a move. This is why followers of the four religions have gone to the southwest in large numbers."
They had heard about this matter before, but they were all based on rumors. Now that Xiao Tianxiong is telling them here, he must have got the exact news.
Although they were a little surprised when they heard the news, they were still calm.
But Xiao Tianxiong's next words made them commotion. Xiao Tianxiong said calmly:
"According to legend, Kunlun Fairy Mountain was once the sacred mountain where the Queen Mother of the West lived. There are countless rare and exotic animals, materials and treasures, and there are even elixirs that can bring people back to life."
"What?"
"Elixir that brings the dead back to life?"
"Doesn't that mean that my junior brother is saved?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's set off now and get back the elixir to save our little junior brother's life!"
"..."
After everyone discussed excitedly for a while, they realized that Xiao Tianxiong, who was sitting at the top, had not spoken. Then they realized that Xiao Tianxiong had one more thing to say, so they gradually became quiet and waited for him to speak.
Xiao Tianxiong saw everyone looking at him with excitement, and then said:
"The second thing is also related to the Kunlun Fairy Mountain incident. The Demon Sect sent out a large number of people in order to obtain the things in the Kunlun Fairy Mountain. Only a few masters remained in each sect. Lao Liu, do you understand what I mean?"
When Bu Xiaotian heard Xiao Tianxiong's words, he still didn't understand what he meant?
Xiao Tianxiong said that there are only a few masters from the four sects of the Demon Sect, which means that the current guards of Chiyan Mountain, where the Black Flame Palace is located, are also at their most empty. If you want to sneak into the Black Flame Palace to rescue his mother, now is the most empty time. Good opportunity.
If he missed this time, he would have to wait until the next time all the masters of the Black Flame Palace came out. He didn't know how long it would take, and what he lacked most now was time.
So no matter what, he had to give it a try!
After thinking about all this, Bu Xiaotian no longer hesitated and immediately saluted Xiao Tianxiong:
"Thank you for the tip, Master! Disciple will come down the mountain now!"
Xiao Tianxiong nodded slightly and said:
"Well, Lao San, you go with Lao Liu. You don't have to ask any questions. Lao Liu will tell you everything when you are on your way."
Chu Yungong had rarely seen Xiao Tianxiong look so solemn, and knew that it must be very important for Bu Xiaotian to come down the mountain.
Although he also had many doubts in his heart, wondering if there was something important that he had to do for his junior brother instead of leaving it to them. In his current state, if he was not careful, his life might be in danger, but he still didn't have much time to worry about it. ask.
From the somewhat unclear conversation between the two just now, he could infer that only his junior brother could do what he had to do this time.
So Chu Yungong really didn't ask any more questions, he saluted and said:
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Tianxiong nodded slightly again and said:
"Okay, you two go get ready first."
Bu Xiaotian and Chu Yungong said goodbye and left the hall.
After the two left, Cheng Yunliang looked at Xiao Tianxiong and couldn't help but ask:
"Master, why are you letting me down the mountain when my junior brother is like this? Is there anything we can't do?"
Xiao Tianxiong glanced at the remaining people and said:
"There are some things that only he can do. No matter whether he succeeds or not, at least he will not leave any regrets. I asked the third child to follow him because the third child is smart enough and can adapt to situations when encountering things. He will not let the third child easily. Liu is in a state of death. As for you, come with me to Kunlun!"
Hearing the second half of Xiao Tianxiong's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Cheng Yunliang said in surprise:
"Master, is this why you asked us to go to Kunlun Mountain together?"
Several other people also thought of something and looked at Xiao Tianxiong.
"Well, Kunlun is the legendary immortal mountain. Maybe there is a chance to find a way to cure Lao Liu."
Although everyone had already made some guesses, they still couldn't help but feel excited when they heard Xiao Tianxiong's affirmative answer, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.
On the other side, Chu Yungong and Bu Xiaotian left Zhenlei Hall and walked all the way to the small courtyard where they lived.
Halfway through the journey, Chu Yungong finally couldn't help but ask:
"Junior brother, what exactly did Master ask you to go down the mountain for?"
Bu Xiaotian stopped, looked at Chu Yungong and was silent for a while, then said:
"Brother, I am going down the mountain to go to the Black Flame Palace. Although most of the masters of the Black Flame Palace have gone to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there must be masters among the people left behind, and what I want to do may be very dangerous. Otherwise, senior brother, why don’t you go with me?”
Chu Yungong couldn't help but frowned when he heard this:
"Black Flame Palace? Are you out for revenge? You are my little junior brother. I watched you grow up. Your hatred is my hatred. One more person means more helpers. If I lose, I can still pull him back. I want you to run away, if you really think I am your third senior brother, then don’t say anything to ask me to stay!”
Chu Yungong's words gave in to Xiaotian's heart, and he decided not to hide it anymore, so he told Chu Yungong frankly about his life experience and what he wanted to do in the Black Flame Palace.
After Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, Chu Yungong fell into silence. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Bu Xiaotian, and said in a complicated tone:
"At first I was still thinking why Master asked you to go down the mountain and only asked me to accompany you alone. I didn't expect that it turned out to be like this. Junior brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone your secret!"
Bu Xiaotian said gratefully:
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother!"
Chu Yungong waved his hand and said with a smile:
"What can we, brothers and sisters, say about thanking each other? Don't worry, we will definitely be able to save your mother this time!"
Bu Xiaotian nodded heavily and said:
"Um!"
In this way, the two of them went back to the hospital to prepare some things, then left Purple Thunder Peak together and went straight to the direction of the sandbank to wield their swords.
Five days later, the two arrived at the volcano group where the Black Flame Palace was located.
In order to avoid disturbing the situation, the two of them did not rush close to the Red Flame Mountain where the Black Flame Palace was located. Instead, they found an uninhabited valley to drop down.
In the past five days, the two of them hurriedly hurriedly and almost never rested. Now neither their true energy nor their mental state was suitable for sneaking into the Black Flame Palace immediately. They planned to take a good rest first and find out the current situation of the Black Flame Palace. Make plans for later.
So they meditated and adjusted their breath in this secluded hill until dusk, then quietly separated and approached Chiyan Mountain, carefully observing everything on the mountain, and slowly retreated back at dawn.
This went back and forth for five or six days. Sometimes even during the day, they would quietly watch from a distance, and finally figured out seven or eight points of the situation in the Black Flame Palace, including the approximate number of people inside and the pattern of their actions.
That night, the two of them had just planned to go to Chiyan Mountain again when they suddenly noticed a vague aura appearing outside the mountain col.
The two of them immediately became alert, holding down their magic weapons and looking towards the direction of the aura.
Although the moon tonight only had a thin silver rim, and the starlight was mostly covered by light clouds and mist, making it a bit dark, it still couldn't stop the two of them.
With their cultivation level, although they could not see clearly in the dark night, they could roughly see the situation within a radius of dozens of feet without any problem.
The two of them felt that the breath was very slowly approaching where they were. It was obvious that the man did not dare to move too fast in order to hide his whereabouts.
Finally, after a long time, a figure in black appeared cautiously in their sight.
The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and did not act rashly. They just waited silently for the man to get closer and closer.
When he was less than twenty feet away from the two of them, the swords in their hands suddenly came out without warning and went straight towards the figure in black.
The figure in black didn't seem to expect that the two men would suddenly take action, and suddenly screamed in fright:
"ah!"
When Bu Xiaotian heard the sound, he was suddenly startled. With a move of the magic technique in his hand, the long sword flew out suddenly and blocked Chu Yungong's long sword less than three feet away from the door in front of the man.
At the same time, he hurriedly whispered to Chu Yungong:
"Senior brother, don't do anything yet, we are one of our own!"
When Chu Yungong's sword was blocked, he looked towards Bu Xiaotian in surprise.
Although his sword strike just now was not at full strength, Bu Xiaotian was able to suddenly change his move to stop his long sword at the critical moment. This level of cultivation has already surpassed him.
After hearing what Bu Xiaotian said to him, he would not attack that person again, so he recalled his sword and asked in surprise:
"You know him?"
Bu Xiaotian nodded and said:
"Um."
Then he shouted to the man in black standing there blankly:
"Mo Li, is that you?"
Bu Xiaotian had just heard Mo Li's voice, otherwise she would have been dead by now.
"Xiaotian, it's me!"
Chu Yungong's eyes widened as he listened to the two people's questions and answers.
This Mo Li couldn't be the Mo Li he thought of, right?
When he saw the man in black walking up to the two of them and taking off the black scarf covering his face, his whole body became a little dull.
This Mo Li is really the Mo Li he thought of!
Chu Yungong looked at Bu Xiaotian and then at Mo Li, as if there was a date stuffed in his throat. He held it in for a long time before saying:
"You? You guys?"
Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart when he saw Mo Li, but he was more surprised. He didn't know what to say, but when he heard Chu Yungong's words, he hurriedly introduced:
"Third senior brother, this is Mo Li. Mo Li, this is my third senior brother, Chu Yungong."
Mo Li blinked at Chu Yungong and called out sweetly:
"Hello, third senior brother!"
Chu Yungong responded blankly:
"Uh, okay..."
Then he seemed to react suddenly, grabbed Bu Xiaotian's shoulders and asked:
"Of course I know she is Mo Li! And I also know she is the eldest lady of Yaowang Valley! I want to ask you why you know her? How come she appears here?"
"this……"
Hearing this question, Bu Xiaotian hesitated and didn't know how to explain it to Chu Yungong.
Mo Li suddenly said:
"I am Xiaotian's unmarried wife, but he doesn't want me anymore!"
"What?!"
After hearing Mo Li's words, Chu Yungong felt as if he had been struck by lightning and fell into a daze again.
When Bu Xiaotian heard Mo Li's aggrieved words of "don't want me anymore", he couldn't help but think of the letter he left for her before, and he felt so guilty that he even lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mo Li's face.
After a while, Chu Yungong came back to his senses, looked at Mo Li and asked:
"Only Master and a few senior brothers know that we are here. How do you know we are here? And can you find our hiding place so accurately?"
