C62 (2/2)
After staying in the White Jade Sect for a few days, Pu Xuan came over with a smile and gave me some pills. He also gave me the Heaven's Heart Pill and said a lot of nonsense.
In the face of this problem, I thought about it, and then thought about it. Considering that after marriage, due to the reason of Lan Yun, we probably won't have much time alone, and we also have to plan on how to join the sword faction to overturn the Sky Sect, I don't have much time left. Anyway, there's still an entire three months' time, so I might as well use this time period to seize this opportunity.
When Pu Xuan heard that I wasn't going to wait for the Sect Leader to lead me, but wanted to try it out tomorrow, he immediately became serious. He told me many things and even told me about his own experiences before heading off to report to the Sect Leader.
The next day, Pu Xuan brought me to the Ancestral Hall with a solemn expression. In front of the Ancestral Hall, there was a pile of spirit tablets, a blood-red stone tablet, and a jade slip.
”Zi Ming, when a drop of your blood is placed on this jade slip, you can close your eyes and meditate. Master will be there to protect you.”
My heart tightened. There was still one more drop of blood? Back then, from Chen Ziming's memories, I had learned that when one became an inner disciple, everyone would swear an oath in the ancestral hall that they would never betray the law, and a drop of their blood would be dropped to merge with the Blood Stele. It was similar to becoming the symbol of a disciple of the White Jade Sect. But now, I am not the real Chen Ziming. The Great Deception Extermination Art can only change my appearance and aura, but it cannot change my bloodline!
”Master, what should we do if someone from our sect isn't watching us with blood?”
Pu Xuan was startled as he frowned, ”I don't know either. In all these years, I don't think anyone has come here to peek. If it weren't for our sect, we wouldn't have known about the existence of this jade slip.”
I was looking forward to it in my heart. I only hoped that those who weren't from the White Jade Sect would be able to see it with a drop of their blood.
”Master, I want to meditate on it by myself. It's better if you go back, nothing will happen to me.” I'm afraid that Pu Xuan will be around. If anything happens, I won't even have a chance to escape.
”Go back?” Pu Xuan paused for a second, then shook his head and said, ”No, I think I will just wait outside. Zi Ming, remember, do not be impatient, and try to understand everything, and do not think about anything else. It's okay if you do not succeed, and do not let anything happen to him!”
Pu Xuan had already told me this many times these past two days. It was because I had seen someone who was too obsessed with enlightenment and would instead go berserk; looking at his back as he left, I once again felt a little guilty. This kind of master, if he treated me so sincerely, if I had met him from the start, I probably wouldn't have done such a thing.
But this trace of guilt and emotion was instantly overwhelmed by endless worry. If an accident were to happen, how am I supposed to cooperate with Qiu Xuan to destroy the Heaven's Expanse School's protective formation, and how am I supposed to deal with the Yellow Sparrow Mantis? At that time, how many days will I have to endure before I can endure the torment of revenge?
I have thought about giving up this opportunity, but when I thought about how this is the best way to increase my own strength, I was a little reluctant. If I wait until after the wedding, then I would have to find a time to come and comprehend it. Moreover, perhaps subconsciously, I was a little against the marriage between Lan Yun and I. If my identity was revealed, the wedding would definitely be cancelled. Then, I wouldn't have to use the innocent Lan Yun to deceive her for my entire life.
With a flick of my finger, a drop of blood was forced out of the jade slip. Under my extremely nervous gaze, the jade slip slowly emitted a gentle white light that enveloped me. This light should only be seen by me, otherwise, Pu Xuan wouldn't say that everyone only had one chance.
After staring at the light for a moment to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, my uneasy heart finally calmed down. It seems that I had overthought things. Everything was fine. My identity would not be revealed.
Closing my eyes, I had to be careful not to fall silent when a scene appeared in front of me. An old man with a white beard floating in the air, looking down at the earth, and I, who seemed to be watching from the side as a spectator. All of this was exactly as Pu Xuan described to me.
The old man waved his hand and saw that the gentle wind was blowing so hard that it made people's faces hurt. It was as if the wind was real! When the old man reached out his hand, a spear appeared out of nowhere in his grasp. The spear was entirely green, and was faintly flowing like water, but upon closer inspection, it did not seem abnormal at all. Standing by the side, I could clearly feel the huge destructive aura contained within the spear, it was definitely not something I could defend against with just ten or a hundred of them!
The old man held the gun ready to be thrown, but suddenly let out a soft ”Ai” sound, the subtle glanced at me, I was startled, I knew it was going to be bad!
As expected, the old man suddenly turned his head, his eyes extremely cold as he shouted, ”Which scoundrel dares to spy on our absolute art?!”
After saying that, a shot was shot at me …
Recovering my consciousness, I suddenly opened my eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. The light of the jade slip completely retreated. With a” pa ”sound, a crack appeared and sent me flying several meters away. I was already seriously injured!
The thing that seriously injured me was not the light, but the spear that the old man shot out when I was trying to comprehend it! I originally thought that it was only an image, but it was actually a Spiritual Awareness. However, if it wasn't just a Spiritual Awareness, then my little life would have been handed over to this place.
I didn't have time to think about anything else. I grabbed the pills I got from Pu Xuan and swallowed them all down, hoping that this injury would recover as soon as possible. I smiled bitterly in my heart. Looks like I won't be able to escape this calamity …
