Chapter 76: The return of the leader
Tao Jingyi woke up from a burst of pungent smell.
"Are you awake?" Lin Luo'an's voice was next to her ear, she opened her eyes in a trance, and what fell into her eyes was a youthful face that belonged to a teenager.
Seeing her wake up, Lin Luoan took back the bottle on her nose, fastened the cork, and put it back into her sleeve.
Tao Jingyi looked around in a blink of an eye, and saw the familiar Skull Palace. She looked at Lin Luo'an vigilantly, trying to get up from the ground, but couldn't move for a long time.
Her body was as stiff as a rock.
"Senior brother tapped the acupoints, I can't untie them." Lin Luoan shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face, "I know you have many doubts in your heart, so I woke you up, what's your problem, Just ask, if you can tell, I will never hide anything.”
"Where is Feng Linzhi? Where is he?" Tao Jingyi looked for a long time, but couldn't find Feng Linzhi. Her heart was full of panic, and that strong uneasiness hit her heart again.
"Don't worry, senior brother is inside." Lin Luoan stood up and tapped the stone wall lightly, "This is a secret room, very safe, even if Duan Hongying invades now, senior brother cannot be found."
"Why do you want to harm Feng Linzhi? He has no grievances with you, yet you harmed him!" Tao Jingyi gritted his teeth, eyes full of anger.
"I didn't harm him. From the beginning to the end, I never harmed my brother. As I said earlier, I came to assist him."
"Having an affair with Duan Hongying, destroying his Flower God Sect, that's how you assist him." Tao Jingyi's face was sullen.
"If you don't do this, how can you obliterate the weakness of senior brother. The strong don't need weaknesses." When talking about weaknesses, Lin Luoan looked at Tao Jingyi, "No matter how strong a martial arts person is, once he has Weakness is tantamount to entrusting your life in the hands of others."
Tao Jingyi understood that Feng Linzhi's weakness he mentioned was her.
"The past leaders of the Flower God Sect have clearly held the most supreme secret book in the world, but they can't let go of a word of love. This is the case with Mrs. Qing, and the same with senior brother."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you heard of "Flower God Art"?"
Tao Jingyi was taken aback, but Lin Luoan knew from her expression that she knew something.
"If you practice the "Flower God Jue", once the magic skill is perfect, there will be no rivals in the world. At that time, competing for this martial arts world will be like picking something out of a bag. But to practice this magic skill, you must cut off all emotions and six desires, and maintain a childish body. All previous efforts will be wasted and the meridians will go retrograde.”
Tao Jingyi was stunned. She suddenly remembered that when Duan Feibai pretended to be Duan Wushuang in Xijian Pavilion, he had told her that the "Lotus Magic Art" practiced by Dongfang Yue was part of the "Flower God Art". All sentiments.
Contacting Lin Luoan again about Feng Linzhi's weakness, Tao Jingyi suddenly realized. Lin Luo'an forced Feng Linzhi to this situation in order to force him to practice the "Flower God Art" and erase what he called "weakness". As long as the wind stops and doesn't feel emotional, there will be no weakness.
"But I heard that the "Flower God Jue" has been missing for many years." Tao Jingyi felt mixed feelings for a moment, and still had a glimmer of hope.
"The "Flower God Jue" is hidden in the jade flute in the hands of senior brother. As long as you break the jade flute, you can easily obtain the magic power." Lin Luoan seemed to see through what she was thinking, and laughed mockingly.
"What qualifications do you have to decide Feng Linzhi's life!" Tao Jingyi couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily.
"Others are not qualified, but I am. Have you forgotten? As I said, I came here to assist the senior brother. Before the master died, he told me to help the senior brother well, and don't be so useless like him." Forever. After all, father and son, no matter how high the martial arts are, no matter how powerful they are, they can’t overcome the relationship between sons and daughters. Even a blind man can see the brother’s thoughts.” Lin Luo’an crouched in front of Tao Jingyi, and pinched him fiercely. Holding her chin, she lifted her head up, "It's this face that confuses senior brother."
"Seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all human emotions, but you cruelly deprived him of all emotions because of your own selfishness. It's not fair."
"Fairness? What is fairness! Who is fair to me!" Lin Luoan's always gentle face showed a ferocious expression, "Senior brother has always been careful and never trusts others. Duan Hongying caught them all, but in the end because she mistrusted me, she was defeated, hahahahaha..."
"Lin Luo'an, you lunatic." Tao Jingyi said angrily.
"Do you know why senior brother trusts me so much? Because my life is in his hands. If he dies, I can't live. Have you heard of Lianxin Gu? As a Gu king, I can't solve my own Gu. Master In order to raise a loyal dog for his son, he spared his own life to plant a heart-linking Gu in my body. Senior brother is dead, I can’t live, I’m dead, but senior brother is safe and sound, how unfair " Lin Luoan's eyes glowed red, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Do you know what kind of life I have lived these years? For more than ten years, every day I have lived is worse than death .In order to become the so-called Gu King, I trained myself into a human Gu."
Lin Luoan tore open the front of his chest, and his chest was covered with wounds bitten by insects. Most of these wounds are old wounds, but because of repeated biting, they can no longer be erased.
Tao Jingyi said sadly: "Even if you are very unfortunate, you shouldn't take revenge on Feng Linzhi, he doesn't know your pain."
"I didn't take revenge on him, as I said, I came to assist him." Lin Luoan laughed, "Feng Linzhi, the name behind this name should not represent love between children, but glory and power I endured all the pain just to wait for this day. Only when he becomes number one in the world, stands at the pinnacle of glory and power, and enjoys the bowing down of everyone, will the pain I endured not be wasted.”
In those dark days, thousands of insects gnawed at his body. When he felt hopeless, a voice kept telling him to find Feng Linzhi and help him become number one in the world, and all the pain would end up.
However, the day he actually saw Feng Linzhi, he was very disappointed, because he knew that this man would never be number one in the world.
He has a fatal weakness, as long as he restrains his weakness, even a child can kill him with one blow.
And Feng Linzhi is his weakness, if others take Feng Linzhi's life, it is tantamount to taking his life.
"On that day, senior brother went to the southern border in order to release the soul-eating Gu planted in Duan Hongying's body. He was deceived by the phantom created by the ghost mother and accidentally fell into the Gu pool. Go to the Gu Chi and rescue him. I can save him this time, but what about next time?" Lin Luoan's face was full of despair, "I just want to live, I want to live well, I only have one wish in this life... "
"Feng Linzhi has great martial arts skills, there are not many people in this world who can kill him." Tao Jingyi couldn't help but argue.
"Shut up!" Lin Luoan interrupted Tao Jingyi. He stood up, turned his back to her, and said in a calmer tone, "Brother was forced into this situation by me. He could have put all his eggs in one basket, but he didn't dare to bet. If he lost, he lost not only his own life... Do you understand?"
Lin Luoan sighed and turned around, only to find that Tao Jingyi's eyes were already tearing up.
Only now did she understand what Lin Luoan meant by "there is no other choice" and why Feng Linzhi's last glance implied farewell.
It's a pity that she didn't even have time to say goodbye to him.
Tao Jingyi gripped the hand on the ground and tightened it little by little, the pain spread from her fingertips to the bottom of her heart.
It was as if a large ball of cotton had been stuffed into her heart, and she couldn't breathe.
Tears flowed down her cheeks and hit the ground one by one. After a while, the ground was covered with wet marks.
She knew that when the day dawned, her wind would end and she would never come back again...
A piece of fish-belly white floated in the eastern sky, and this white light swallowed up the darkness little by little. The vast golden light illuminated the vast world, illuminating the world with clarity.
After a night of burning, the candle was burned to the bottom, and the maid cleaned the wax tears on the holder and lit a new candle.
No matter day or night, the Skullland Palace is a place where the sun never shines.
Tao Jingyi looked at the jumping candles, and her limbs gradually became conscious. She first moved her wrists, waiting for her legs to recover little by little, and then took advantage of Lin Luoan's inattention, stood up suddenly, and rushed towards the direction of the secret room .
Just after taking a few steps, Tao Jingyi bumped into a figure with a sudden sound. Tao Jingyi raised his head, covered his brow that hurt from the impact, and glared angrily at Lin Luoan who stood in front of her.
"Get out of the way!" she yelled.
"It's too late..." Lin Luoan said with an unclear expression.
As soon as the words fell, a loud "boom" came from behind him, and the entire underground palace shook. Tao Jingyi looked up in a daze, and saw that one wall of the secret room had collapsed, smoke and dust floated in the candlelight, and a slender figure loomed in the surrounding smoke and dust.
"Brother!" Lin Luoan walked towards the figure in surprise.
The man nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked indifferently through the smoke and dust. The hem of the blue clothes, following his walking movements, floated gently, like a blue water wave.
He walked a few steps, stopped, and looked in Tao Jingyi's direction with a little doubt in his eyes.
Tao Jingyi was already stunned.
The smoke and dust had cleared away, and the dim candlelight outlined his eyebrows and eyes, which were as handsome as ever, but the spring-like smile was no longer in those brown eyes. When he looked at Tao Jingyi, he was full of alienation and strangeness. , as cold as the stars on a winter night.
The cold penetrated all the way to the bottom of Tao Jingyi's heart, instantly freezing all her joy, her body was wrapped in this chill, and she couldn't help becoming stiff.
"..." Tao Jingyi opened his mouth, but his throat felt sour, and no sound came out.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely silent, Lin Luo'an clasped his fists in both hands, knelt down in front of Feng Linzhi, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the leader for his great achievement!"
As soon as he knelt down, all the congregation also knelt down, shouting: "Congratulations to the sect master for his great achievement!"
As a result, only Tao Jingyi was left standing upright on the spot, looking at Feng Linzhi from afar through the black mass of kneeling figures.
Feng Linzhi's eyes suddenly turned a little sharp, as cold as a knife's edge, making it hard to look directly at. Tao Jingyi subconsciously avoided his gaze, bent his knees slightly, and knelt down like everyone else, completely hiding himself in the dark crowd.
Feng Linzhi glanced at her from afar, then retracted his gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Get up. How is the battle going?"
Lin Luo'an stood up and replied, "I'm afraid this underground palace won't last long."
"The wound remains, the others follow me out to fight." Feng Linzhi said.
"Follow the orders of the leader." Feng Linzhi practiced the peerless magic skills overnight, and the morale of all the members of the sect was greatly boosted. They could not wait to follow the leader out and fight against the puppet villa for 300 rounds.
Tao Jingyi also walked towards the entrance of the underground palace with the crowd, when suddenly a person came from the crowd and stood in front of her: "You stay."
Tao Jingyi raised his head and looked at Lin Luo'an puzzledly: "I'm not injured."
Lin Luo'an said indifferently: "You have also seen the appearance of senior brother. If you appear in front of him rashly, I will not guarantee your safety."
Tao Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood what Lin Luoan meant. "Flower God Sect" is a peerless magical skill, but the prerequisite for practicing this skill is to eliminate all emotions and six desires, and devote oneself wholeheartedly to martial arts. Feng Linzhi was able to practice this skill overnight, so it was obvious what he had abandoned.
Today's Feng Linzhi is no longer a person, but a god, and his emotions cannot be speculated with common sense. Tao Jingyi is the only existence that can pull God into the world of mortals. If she appears in front of Feng Linzhi, no one can guarantee what Feng Linzhi will do to her, and what she will do to Feng Linzhi Influence.
Or, the gods were moved by emotion, all previous efforts were wasted, and the meridians were retrograde;
Or, she was obliterated by God.
The uncomfortable feeling of suffocation came back again, Tao Jingyi took a deep breath and sat down leaning on the stone pillar.
After Lin Luoan left, Liu Ying came over.
She whispered: "Before the leader entered the secret room, he summoned me alone."
Tao Jingyi suddenly raised his head, his eyes still had a hint of hope.
"The leader said that once he enters, Feng Linzhi will no longer be Feng Linzhi." Liu Ying repeated Feng Linzhi's words, and when she called him by his name, she couldn't help showing a bit of awe on her face, " So, he asked me, once the war is over, send you away from this place, go as far as possible, never come back, don't see him again, because... he doesn't know what he will become, what he will do to you .”
"He really said that?" Tao Jingyi's cheeks turned pale little by little.
Liu Ying nodded: "Every word, I dare not hide anything."
