always a fairy

Chapter 23

As for the little girl, her face was ashen, she looked at Bai Yujing coldly, without saying a word.

Pei Santian leaned on the chair and said, "Do you know them?"

Bai Yujing said: "I know."

Pei Santian beckoned, motioning for the little girl to come over. The little girl lowered her head, looked at the blood stains all over her body, and still said nothing.

Pei Santian said: "Her name is Sun Chenglan, and she is the daughter of Yu Xuzi, the head teacher of Xuankong Mountain. She is nine years old this year. When I found her, she was outside the absolute room of Xuankong Mountain. Inside is the secret of Xuankong Mountain. , called the Corpse Slave Seal, and there is another person inside, named Xue Can."

Bai Yujing clenched his fists and looked at him in disbelief.

Pei Santian continued: "You might not believe it, but a nine-year-old girl set fire to a room in Xuankong Mountain for revenge."

"Is Xue Can dead?" Bai Yujing asked immediately.

Pei Santian didn't answer, but looked at Sun Chenglan and asked, "Have you taken revenge?"

Sun Chenglan nodded, "Reported."

Pei Santian pointed at Bai Yujing and said, "Why didn't you kill him?"

Sun Chenglan glanced at Bai Yujing and said: "He punished my father for his fault. My father made a fault, so someone must punish him. He is the envoy in red, so he has the power to punish him. I trust him."

Bai Yujing felt her throat was choked, and this suffocation actually came from a nine-year-old girl.

He stared into those sincere eyes without any evasion in his eyes. It seemed that these words were indeed her thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

Pei Santian waved his hand to signal Sun Chenglan to leave, and the little girl was also very obedient, turning her head and leaving.

At this time, there were only three people left.

Pei Santian said as if no one was around: "She will be my goddaughter from now on."

Bai Yujing was worried, but his face calmed down, "Do you think she really thinks so? It's just your threat, right?"

Pei Santian shook his head: "Threats are always the last resort. Only those who have reached the peak of power or strength can use it effectively. I am not qualified for this. I just want to tell you that there are many things in this world that people can testify to , such as Xuankong Mountain's apprentice, or Yuxuzi's daughter, they can all prove that what I said is true, but what you said is false."

Bai Yujing said: "No one cares about the truth?"

Pei Santian said: "Of course some people care, so we have to find out the truth, but it is a complicated and lengthy process to convince other people, such as the common people, that this is the truth. In this case, why not save some effort and convince them An illusion, this illusion is enough for those who don't care."

Bai Yujing leaned back on the chair and fell silent.

Pei Santian said: "Sun Chenglan set a fire in the hiding room, but the fire did not burn her enemy to death. When I went, Xue Can was already gone."

Bai Yujing said: "She doesn't know?"

Pei Sandian smiled: "Of course she needs to know, not only to know, but also to understand that Xue Can will come to take her life at any time. Only in this way can she have the motivation to continue living and have the motivation to take revenge."

He continued: "And this girl Lin also has the motivation to live. She escaped from death just now. If the master gave her the elixir to extend her life when she was dying, she would have become Xue Can at this time." The souls of the dead under the sword."

Bai Yujing said, "Why did you tell me this?"

Pei Santian opened his hand and said: "I want you to understand what power is and what power is. If you want to become a sword fairy, that is absolute power, but I have absolute power in my hand. You understand what power is and what is power. Power?"

Bai Yujing didn't answer, he might be able to say one, two, three, but he knew that his perception would never be as deep as that of the prefect in front of him.

Pei Santian said: "With your power, you can kill Yu Xuzi, and you can also kill Xue Can and a series of people who make you unhappy."

He smiled slightly: "But my power can allow any of them to continue to live."

Bai Yujing said: "Why let them live?"

Pei Santian said: "Because they live, the people can live, and the people live, so I can live better and continue to enjoy my supreme power."

Bai Yujing said: "They have the blood of countless people in their hands!"

Pei Santian said: "Yes, but behind them, there are still countless people's hopes. If one day, you have enough power to let them have the power to fight against everything, you can do anything without weighing the pros and cons. Giving up some lives in exchange for others."

Bai Yujing stared at him, and slowly said: "I always feel that something is wrong."

Pei Santian said: "What's wrong?"

Bai Yujing said: "Since I picked up this sword, many people have always wanted to teach me some truths in a short period of time. The elder on Hanging Mountain, even though my sword has pierced his chest, he still wants to to teach me something."

Pei Santian said: "Isn't it right?"

Bai Yujing said: "Why?"

Pei Santian said: "You don't understand?"

Bai Yujing said: "This sword is special, right?"

Pei Santian stood up and looked outside the house. His gaze was fixed on one direction, as if that direction was very important to him. This time, his voice was dignified and respectful enough, "A hundred generations are chivalrous, born from Young guest. The predecessors took care of me, and I took care of the newcomers."

He turned around and walked out, looked back and said with a smile: "When you walk out of Fenyang City, don't mention everything that happened here. If there are things you don't understand in the future, you will have to rely on yourself."

Bai Yujing stood up and said in a very loud voice: "I don't understand why you are like this. Who did I receive the favor from? Who gave you the favor? What does it have to do with me? Why are you like this? Could it be what you said? ? The predecessors took care of you, and you took care of me? But... why me?"

Pei Santian didn't answer, but clenched the lion's head in his hand, closed his eyes, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

There was no answer to Bai Yujing's question, and her eyes fell on Lin Xiyue's face.

Lin Xiyue came over, stood beside him, bowed her head and said, "Xuankong Mountain will be mine from now on."

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Bai Yujing, he didn't understand why Lin Xiyue came to talk to him about it.

Lin Xiyue said, "I'm sorry."

Bai Yujing said: "You have nothing to do to me, what you did has nothing to do with me."

Lin Xiyue's face became more reserved, and she took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I can help you answer your doubts."

Bai Yujing didn't speak.

Lin Xiyue said: "You and I grew up around Fenyang City, let me ask you one thing, have you ever worshiped Buddha?"

Bai Yujing laughed and said, "There are no temples in Fenyang City, so why worship Buddha?"

Lin Xiyue said: "Then have you ever worshiped God?"

Bai Yujing was puzzled and said: "There are no god statues or Buddha statues in Fenyang City, and even your Xuankong Mountain enshrines only a sword. Everyone in the city knows this, and everyone only worships the Sword Immortal."

Lin Xiyue said: "Ten years ago, Mr. Pei had the opportunity to enter the court and was promoted to the capital of Lin'an, but why did he stay there for another ten years?"

She was still talking: "Even if there is no fairy temple in other cities, there should be a God of Wealth tablet, but why is there only one sword fairy temple in Fenyang City?"

Bai Yujing was stunned.

At this moment, he figured it out, but couldn't figure it out.

The sword in the sword fairy's hand, why should he give it to him?

After an unknown amount of time, he was the only one left in the room.

The moonlight slanted in from outside the room, bringing with it a little wave light and a breeze.

Bai Yujing felt some itching next to the collar, and when he recovered from his daze, he saw the dragon's beard grass with nine leaves, nine flowers and nine beards standing on his shoulder.

It is top-heavy, and the flowers and plants on its head make it difficult for him to stand still, but the fleshy "face" at the root of it is very dignified. Two very sloppy arms are stroking his jaw or belly, thinking wearing something.

Bai Yujing asked, "Why are you here?"

Dragon Beard Grass said: "Because I felt that you were leaving the Hanging Mountain, so I lay on top of you and walked with you."

Bai Yujing said in surprise, "You want to go with me?"

Dragon Beard Grass nodded: "Yes, what else?"

Bai Yujing said: "You...are not in the land, can you still live?"

Dragon's Beard Grass said: "So you have to find a piece of soil for me to drill in, so that I can not only survive, but also continue to reproduce more Dragon's Beard Grass."

Bai Yujing looked at it blankly, "How can you be sure that I must take you with you?"

Asparagus put his hands on his cheeks or waist, anyway, it was his only face, and said righteously: "The asparagus I bred can stop your pulse and continue your life. I am so smart that I can give you advice. And in a critical moment, you can still fake my death by eating me, and when the time comes, you can pull me out and everything will be fine, and it can be reused.

Bai Yujing said: "I'm not an idiot."

Dragon Beard Grass said: "Then it's over? Let's go, let's find some soil quickly, I'm about to suffocate!"

Sure enough, that round head was flushed red from being suppressed.

Bai Yujing just went downstairs, took the embroidered handkerchief, grabbed a handful of soil, let the asparagus burrow into it, wrapped it up and put it in his arms.

It was getting late, and no one was waiting for him outside the door. Perhaps the embroiderers had already returned to Huayue Tower, so he set off immediately, but his destination was not Huayue Tower, but the Sword Immortal Temple.

Now that we are leaving, let us say our last farewell.

The incense in the Sword Immortal Temple has always been very good. Even at night, there are special personnel to clean it here, and some people pray here to offer incense.

What Bai Yujing is most familiar with is this ancestral hall. He has been here countless times and prayed before this tablet. When his mother was sick, he even came to ask for a lottery.

Everyone knows that praying at the Sword Immortal Temple is the most effective, and people from all over the world will come here to offer incense and kneel down.

Bai Yujing respectfully took three sticks of incense, kowtowed and bowed down.

Bai Hanshan's words at that time rang in his ears.

"Don't be me, go beyond me, be poor and strong, never fall into the sky."

Bai Yujing closed his eyes.

I certainly will.
