Chapter 973
In the early morning, the dawn penetrates the treetops and casts tiny spots among the shadows of the tree. The chirping of birds cut through the silence of the morning light.
The Zhushenfeng family, who lived in seclusion, welcomed a special guest today.
"Don't be nervous. I'll see my grandfather later. Just tell him." A young girl in white led a young man in white to skillfully push away the vines blocking the road, and occasionally made seals with her hands, releasing streams of pure spiritual power, suppressing the mechanisms on both sides that were ready to go.
"Our tribe is all reasonable and will definitely help you!"
"Thank you, a girl." The young man in white nodded gently, and looked around with a slight amplitude, carefully observing the mysterious hidden family.
Although his face was handsome and elegant, his every move showed a gentle and elegant temperament, deep in his eyes, there was always a layer of indelible clouds. The thick gloom also faintly contained the despair of death.
Soon, the two officially entered the territory of the Zhushenfeng clan. Looking around, it looked like an ordinary village. Simple thatched huts were passing by, and occasionally a few poultry jumped in the wasteland. The naked villagers were surrounded in groups of three or three, beating the unformed weapons in their hands in sweat.
Just the hot atmosphere that comes to your face, the name of the weapon refining family is well-deserved!
The young girl Chen Ruo, with a bright smile on her pretty face, grabbed a young and strong man nearby and asked, "Brother Axe, do you know where the grandfather of the patriarch is?" She pointed to the young man in white beside her, "I met this young man outside. He has always admired the skills of our Shenfeng family. He deliberately wanted to be an apprentice to learn skills."
The young man in white did not speak, but just bowed to the strong man to show his etiquette.
Since meeting, he has spoken very little, and he almost never speaks without opening his mouth. When Chen Ruo went up the mountain to chop wood, he accidentally met him who was lost in the mechanism formation. After asking, he only said that he wanted to be the leader of Zhu Shenfeng, and then he remained silent again. Almost all Chen Ruo was looking for topics along the way.
Maybe it was because of her natural introverted personality. Chen Ruo didn't feel abnormal. She herself was also a quiet girl. She would be timid and shy when facing strangers, so she could still understand the other person's mood.
I will make an exception to help today, because it made her feel a special feeling of intimacy. Alas, is it because he looks good? I didn’t expect that one day, I will become a girl who judges people by her appearance.
"Don't be busy looking for the clan leader first." The strong man had not answered yet. A middle-aged man with short beards and looked majestic at the glance. He suddenly put down his tools and strode from the stove on the other side. He looked at the young man in white with a stern face and said in a deep voice:
"Young man, let me ask you first, where the place of my Zhu Shenfeng clan has always been a supreme secret, and we never welcome outsiders to step in! Now, where did you know?"
This middle-aged man seemed to have some identity in his clan. As he asked, more and more young disciples gathered around him. Everyone talked and pointed at him.
"Uncle Hong, don't be so fierce, it will scare others." Chen Ruo couldn't see it and spoke out loud. He then pulled the sleeves of the young man in white: "Tell me quickly."
Under the gaze of everyone, the young man in white flashed his eyes several times, and finally he suddenly raised his head, bowed in his fists, and said aloud:
"Everyone, I'm not hiding it. Nan Jingbai, a disciple of Xiajianyao Sect, came to visit from afar. I just want to ask the chief of Zhushenfeng clan to come out of the mountain to help our Jianyao Sect escape this danger!"
This young man turned out to be the first disciple of Jianyao Sect, Nan Jingbai.
Before this, the Nine Venerables of Jiuyou Palace personally visited the Jianyao Sect and claimed that they would discuss a deal with the Sect Master of Jianyao. After he collected all the ancient artifacts and fragments of Fang Tianbao Ding, he hoped that the Sect Master could open the furnace for him to refine and restore the artifact.
This task is far beyond the ability of the Sect Master of Jian Kiln.
It is not difficult to refine weapons just. What is difficult is that at the same time, it also needs to fully simulate the secret pattern of the law engraved on the fragments. You should know that this Tianbao Cauldron was personally refined by the ancient evil god "Fang Tian Demon Lord". He is a powerful man with a strength far exceeding the Reincarnation Realm. With the ability of his little Tongtian Realm weapon refiner, how can he achieve 100% restoration artifact?
但,九幽殿的命令是绝对的.
只问结果,却不顾这过程是何等艰难.
During this period, the leader of the Jian Kiln Sect had been forced into a desperate situation. He organized his disciples to experiment with the method of refining weapons day and night, and in the end, he was even a little crazy. But what he had encountered in his experiment was just failures again and again.
When he first received the mission of Jiuyou Palace, the Sect Master of Jianyao also thought of asking the Zhushenfeng clan, who was both his old friend and old enemy, to help him. Together with the two, the restoration artifact may be hoped. However, the envoy sent at that time was mercilessly rejected by the Zhushenfeng clan.
This result was expected by the Sect Master of Jianyao. He was sorry for the leader of Zhu Shenfeng before, but now he has no face, so he will ask him for this unwilling request.
Although the sect leader was unwilling, Nan Jingbai, who saw the sect leader's hardship, made a secret decision to ask that senior to help him no matter what. Finally one day, he discovered the location of the Zhushenfeng clan, and sneaked out of the Jianyao Sect, traveled through mountains and rivers, and searched all the way.
"Sword Kiln Sect?" Sure enough, as soon as he heard this familiar name, the people around him, regardless of age, changed their faces in a row. Many young people even drew out their long swords, "How dare the people from the Sword Kiln Sect come? Are you not afraid that we will kill you?"
Nan Jingbai looked at the four sides without fear. Before taking this step, he had already put life and death aside. If he sacrificed himself, he could save the disaster of the sect, which was worth it!
"In life, there is no major problem except death. Now the disaster of the destruction of our sect is near. No matter what the sect leader has done wrong, I beg the patriarch to help him because of the friendship between the two of them in childhood!"
Even though he bowed down to the Prime Minister, Nan Jingbai still had a kind of arrogance of moving forward. "If this matter can be completed successfully, no matter what the patriarch's request, all the people in our sect will die!"
"Friendship?" The young people cursed angrily, "You are from Jianyao Sect, really have the face to keep friendship on your lips? Who betrayed the first one? We are so tired that our tribesmen can only hide in this ghost place for generations. Have you sent someone to visit once?"
"That's right, if you don't have the ability, you have to gain that reputation, then you can bear the disaster caused by reputation!"
These people, like Nan Jingbai, don’t know what happened between the two ancestors back then. But they were born with hatred by generations, and today, even if they were just a three-year-old child, they knew how to learn to accuse the crimes of Jianyao sect.
"I know that Jianyao Sect has been in a grudge with the Zhu Shenfeng clan for a long time!" Nan Jingbai raised his voice and overwhelmed the scolding around him with difficulty. "But what you always resent is nothing more than that my sect leader has done something indifferent. So, is it moral that you are not willing to save him today? Thinking about it in the future, can your conscience be at ease?"
"The sect leader's mistake has made you endure hundreds of years of resentment. If the clan leader stands by and watches today, my sword kiln sect will be a series of unjust souls that will die! Why can't you and I turn the anger into peace? Do you really want to continue this hatred until the end of your life?"
"You guy is quite good at speaking!" Another middle-aged man sneered, "But that's useless. Go back with your full benevolence, righteousness and morality! Let this hatred continue, and all the entire Sect of your Sword Kiln Sect can be destroyed, so that the hatred in our patriarch will be eliminated!"
"That's right, what are we so worried about? People are not killed by us. There are too many people in this world who die every day. Do we have to cry for each death?"
Nan Jingbai was isolated and helpless, and had no way to argue. The delicate Chen Ruo suddenly walked up and looked at him with clear eyes.
"Have you deceived me?"
The patriarch once instructed that the Zhushenfeng family did not welcome outsiders, especially those from the Jianyao Sect. If she had known that he was from that place, she would never have brought him in!
Nan Jingbai bowed and bowed: "I'm sorry, the girl, it was forced by the situation at that time, so I had to..." But before he could finish speaking, a heavy hammer suddenly fell in front of him, which was so shocked that he immediately retreated. He saw that a pit had been cut out on the ground where he had previously stood, several feet deep.
"The people in the Jian Kiln Sect are indeed beasts! Do you get out? If you don't get out, my aunt will kill you!" Chen Ruo waved the hammer handed by someone in his hand, chasing Nan Jingbai, and slashing again and again.
Nan Jingbai didn't understand why this young girl who was quiet and elegant just now turned out to be like this as soon as she picked up the hammer. But now he had no choice but to hold her head with her hands and run away from all directions.
In this way, Nan Jingbai was driven out. After falling out a few steps in a mess, he did not leave. He brushed the dust on his clothes, lifted up his hem, and knelt down in front of the village solemnly.
If he cannot ask the chief of the Zhu Shenfeng clan to come out, even if he goes back, the Jianyao Sect will not be able to escape the end of destruction. At that time, he will still be dead.
A few days later.
As soon as Chen Ruo stepped out of the village, he saw the tired figure who was still struggling to support it.
"Why are you still here?" She frowned, walked forward quickly, squatted in front of Nan Jingbai, and looked at him with concern.
"Is the situation of Jianyao Sect really dangerous now?"
Because she was slashed hard by her before, Nan Jingbai is still a little afraid now. He glanced at her and replied briefly: "It's in danger."
"Then, if the clan leader is willing to help, will you be saved?" Chen Ruo asked softly again.
Nan Jingbai sighed: "It is not that easy to restore the ancient artifact Fang Tianbao Ding. To be honest, even if the two tribes join forces, they are not sure. But even if they can only increase 10% of their hope, I will try my best! As a disciple of the Sword Kiln Sect, this is my responsibility!"
Chen Ruo patted his shoulder with admiration: "You are so brave. Don't worry, if you have the chance, I will help you persuade the grandfather of the clan leader. Even if he hates your sect leader, it's all hundreds of years ago, but the current sect disciples are innocent."
Perhaps because of her kind heart, even though she grew up in the family's "hate education", she still finds it difficult to develop real hatred for the distant sword kiln sect.
"Thank you." Nan Jingbai nodded gratefully.
Chen Ruo talked to him a few more words, lifted the hammer and wanted to get up. But just as her hands touched the hammer rod, a fury of hatred suddenly ignited in her eyes.
"You bastard haven't gotten out yet! Believe it or not, my aunt will chop you up once when she sees you! Get out quickly!"
After several days, Chen Ruo's attitude was always good and bad. When he was gentle, he could squat down and say something to him for a while. When he was angry, he would wave his hammer and chase him all over the mountain.
As time goes by, although Nan Jingbai is still unclear, at least he knows that this little girl will become "ill" just as she sees the hammer.
At this time, the sword kiln yard.
"What? Jingbai didn't listen to my orders and slipped down the mountain privately and went to the Zhushenfeng family?"
After hearing the disciple's report, the Sect Master of Jianyao was shocked.
"The people over there hate us all to the core. Will there be danger when Jingbai goes alone?" Another elder was also anxious, "Sect Master, I'll send someone to chase him back immediately!"
The leader of Jianyao was stunned for a long time, but sighed deeply and waved his hand.
"Forget it... the disaster of the extermination of the Jian Kiln Sect has no turn. Jing Bai left as soon as possible and might be able to save his life. From then on, he and Jian Fei are the only ones who continue the Taoist throne for our sect..."
"Sect Master, don't be so pessimistic," another elder couldn't help but persuade, "The young master has entered the Heavenly Palace Sect to practice. If you don't look at the monks and look at the Buddha's face, the Nine Nether Palace may not really do anything to us, right? Can we send the young master and ask him to report this to the Lord of Heavenly Palace, then--"
"No," the head of Jianyao sect shook his head heavily, "Don't implicate Fei'er in this matter. Now, he is a member of the Tiangong Sect, and he has a bright future. I don't want him to bear the hatred of destroying the sect at a young age."
"I committed the evil myself back then, and now I should repay it..."
...
In a trance, it was another few days.
"You haven't gotten out yet, are you?" In front of Zhushenfeng Mountain, several seven or eight-year-old children looked at Nan Jingbai from afar. From time to time, someone picked up a stone and threw it at him. "Do you think we really don't dare to kill you?"
The flying stones became bigger and bigger, and the edges became sharper, but Nan Jingbai always stood there kneeling, not dodging or avoiding.
It took him a while before he raised his head and spoke word by word.
"A few little brothers, please go back and tell the noble chief. I, Nan Jingbai, are willing to repay the old grudges between the Jianyao Sect and the Zhushenfeng clan. If you have hatred and resentment towards my sect leader, you can kill me and stab me with a sword. Even if the blood is dry, I will have no regrets! I will pay you this life, just hope that the hatred between the two tribes can stop from now on, and ask the noble chief to come out to help me!"
"Is this what you said?" Several children looked at each other, and a cold light of hatred suddenly flashed in their eyes.
At this age, there was no seriousness in the way. They held the dagger and stabbed it randomly. In a blink of an eye, Nan Jingbai's body was already flowing with blood. The bright red blood dyed the white clothes as snow red.
但他却依然跪在那里,一声不吭.
"What are you doing!" Suddenly, a girl's scream came, and Chen Ruo rushed forward quickly, trying to stop the children from committing violence.
"Sister Chen Ruo, give it to me." A child smirked and stuffed an iron hammer into Chen Ruo's hand.
"You little bastards!" Unexpectedly, Chen Ruo, who was in a "rassential state", waved his hammer and chased them with his teeth and claws. "Did the patriarch teach you the skills that you are asking you to come out to bully the weak? Why don't you get back to me quickly!"
After driving all these children away, Chen Ruo walked to Nan Jingbai with a hammer in both hands, looking at him with complex eyes.
“你这样为你的宗门,值得吗?”
Nan Jingbai breathed a few hard breaths, and his raised eyes were still clear, "If I sacrificed my life alone, it would be worth it to save the catastrophe of the entire sect... it was worth it!"
Chen Ruo frowned and was silent for a long time, but it was the first time that this "violent and violent" she had seen a light of kindness flashing through her eyes.
"I began to believe that maybe the Jianyao Bulk is really not that bad."
"If your sect leader is a selfish person, he is not worthy of having a disciple like you who work for him."
"Maybe he had made a mistake before, but I believe he has sincerely repented for his sins."
"You are very strong in protecting the sect." Chen Ruo stood up with the double hammers and gave him an encouraging smile, "Persevere, your request will definitely come true."
“我会陪你一起等.因为你也值得.”
