Chapter 97 Earrings on
After more than half a month, Chu Tian's injury gradually recovered. At this time, the south of Shenlu had entered the early summer season, but there was no extreme heat in the northern Mingshan Mountain.
With the passage of time, the topic of promotion gradually faded away, and people in the streets and alleys began to talk about the wedding of Hai Xiaoshu.
I heard that his wife this time is Meng Xuanxiang, the direct female disciple of Yan Xipo, the head of the Yan family, so some people call this marriage a "book marriage".
On the other hand, the Yin family and the Geshu family suffered a great loss in the promotion battle. After losing an old man and a senior respectively, there was no big move in a low profile for more than a month.
But everyone knows that whether it is Yin Shengdao or Brother Shu Xiaomeng, he will never give up. Since the withdrawal of King Antian, the dragons of the Northern Underworld Mansion have no head, and sooner or later there will be a large-scale bloody infighting.
Such a thing is by no means a case. I don't know how many times it has broken out in the history of the three-thousand-year inheritance of the Northern Underworld.
But these are not Chu Tian's top priorities. He is enjoying a rare period of peaceful leisure time, and his daily life is full and regular.
During the day, he devoted himself to the top skills of "Sky Machine Seal", "Hundred Souls Cut", "Rizhao God Fist" and "Li Qiao Six Swords", and integrated the bits and pieces of understanding obtained in actual combat and incorporated them into the cultivation of the method.
In the evening, he used Beiming Reiki to operate the heaven and earth furnace to absorb the essence of heaven and earth when Beiming Reiki was the most abundant, in order to restore his power as soon as possible.
Although at every critical moment, Dong Tianji is bound to take action for its own safety. But for Chu Tian, it is equivalent to taking his life in the hands of others.
Who can build a castle on the flowing sand? Who can not worry that it will collapse one day?
Therefore, even if the improvement of power is very slow, and the comprehensive recovery is far away, Chu Tian is still persevering.
At the same time, his Taoist heart is also growing day by day, infinitely close to the critical point of breaking through the holy step. But it seems that there is always a layer of window paper that can't be broken, so that he can't really see the door of heaven for the time being.
This step is very important to Chu Tian. If you want to gain a foothold in the Northern Underworld, and even have enough ability to protect Luojia in the future, you must enter the realm of the holy level.
Such as "Sky Machine Seal", "Hundred Souls Chopping" and even "There is a snow secret in the world" that Chu Tian has not yet begun to understand, they all need to have a holy level of cultivation before they can control and display. For example, a sledgehammer weighing more than a thousand can only exert its great power in the hands of the warriors who pull out the mountain and carry the tripod.
Compared with those old antiques who have been practicing for decades or even more than one Jiazi, there is undoubtedly an insurmountable gap.
As for the cave machine, it is naturally an antique among the old antiques. Unfortunately, he failed in the unprecedented war on the top of Fengyun Mountain 600 years ago. He was greatly injured by the cold news and imprisoned in the Faleng Sutra with three seals. Now I can't take care of myself, and I don't have much time to take care of Chu Tian's affairs.
From this point of view, although he and Chu Tian are six or seven hundred years apart, they are quite pitiful.
In the evening of this day, Chu Tian was preparing to meditate and practice. Mrs. Gu came and said that Mrs. You invited him to go to the house.
Chu Tian was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with you, Mrs. You?"
Gu Sao shook her head and said, "Madam didn't say it. Mr. Chu will know when he goes."
At present, Chu Tian was confused and followed Gu's sister-in-law out of the outer city and went straight to the Fayan Peak where the Youshi family was located.
The two of them came to Youqiren's mansion, and the sky was getting dark. Because Gu's sister-in-law led the way, there was no need to report straight into the inner house. Eshanyue is waiting for him in the study.
"Mrs. You!" Chu Tian walked into the study and bowed to Eshanyue, who was standing at the table and playing with the flower arrangement.
Eshanyue raised her head and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry to invite you when you are recovering. How's your health?"
Chu Tian replied, "I have basically recovered. Thank you for your concern."
"The person who really cares about you is not me, but Luo Jia." Eshanyue smiled and greeted Chu Tian to sit down.
Gu's sister-in-law delivered tea and pastries, closed the door and retreated outside the house.
Chu Tian sips the fragrant tea and waited for Eshanyue to open his mouth.
Eshanyue was not in a hurry to introduce the topic, but only asked, "Mr. Chu, what do you plan to do after you become a direct disciple?"
"I'm going to travel in a few days," Chu Tian did not hide it and said, "I may not be in Beiming City for a long time."
"It's a good idea for you to travel down the mountain to stay away from right and wrong." Eshanyue agreed, "If I expect it well, there will definitely be an earth-shaking change in the Northern Underworld within a year. Since King An Tian closed into the death gate, Ni Tiangao, Li Zhangqiu and Xuan Longyu took charge of the divine mansion together, the ambitions of the owners of major families have been expanding, but their patience has gradually been exhausted. After barely maintaining peace for three years, now it is finally time to reshuffle the cards. But those who really have strength and hope are just the above-mentioned three princes.
Chu Tian's heart was slightly awe-hearted, and he heard E Shanyue continue to say, "Aoshan has not returned for a long time, and Rizhao has also been punished to forget the wall of the mountain. The Eshi family and the You family each lost a top master. Naturally, someone wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cut off Ni Tiangao's right arm first, so that he is completely isolated.
She slowly sat down behind the desk and sighed softly, "Fortunately, Luojia took action one after another to deter the Yin family and the Geshu family by thunderous means, which made those who were ready to move have to have some scruples."
Chu Tian took a deep breath and said, "So, in fact, Luojia has become the target of public criticism?"
"Yes, the temptation on Feihong Bridge is just the beginning, and it can also be regarded as a test of Luojia's cultivation."
Eshanyue replied, "Once the war ends are opened, these people will want to get rid of Luojia quickly. Then there are the E family and the You family, until Ni Tiangao, the head of the Ni family, whom King An Tian trusted most. This open and secret struggle began long before you joined the divine palace. And your arrival has made the situation more variable.
Chu Tian said slowly, "The weakness of Luojia is me, right?"
"No, Luojia will become stronger with you!" E Shanyue's tone is calm, but she has an indisputable power.
"I believe that Luo Jia will never take you to the Northern Underworld for no reason and expose her weakness to her opponent for nothing. She must have another deep meaning in doing so. Don't you think so? With you charging in front of you, you can invisibly share a lot of pressure for Luojia, and Luojia can retreat behind the scenes to clean up the mess.
Chu Tian smiled and said, "In this way, I can at least be a river crossing pawn for Luo Jia."
"Why should Mr. Chu underestimate himself? You should know what Luojia thinks of you. How can the person who can let her marry be the thing in the pool?
Eshanyue stared at Chu Tian and said meaningfully, "One day, you will become strong enough to protect Luojia, and even have the ability to decide the fate of the Northern Pluto in the next hundred years. Believe me, this is not a lie."
Chu Tian was stunned and said, "It seems that you have more confidence in yourself than me."
Eshanyue smiled and said no words. After a moment of silence, Chu Tian stood up and said, "I understand. Thank you, madam!"
Eshanyue got up and said, "In this way, there will be Mr. Lao Chu."
Chu Tian was shocked and didn't expect that E Shanyue, as the noble hostess of the You family, would make such a big salute to himself.
He vaguely realized that the purpose of Eshanyue's appointment with him tonight was by no means simple, and her words and manners were obviously very different from the past.
He bowed deeply and said, "But whenever something happens, Mr. Chu is willing to go through fire and water for his wife and never die."
Eshanyue smiled happily and gently twisted a beautiful ear pendant with her fingertips and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you deny it?"
Chu Tian touched his arms and said in surprise, "This is--"
"This is what I found on you when I was healing you." Eshanyue replied, "I happen to know the origin of this earring, and I have something to ask you."
"Do you know who is the owner of this earring?" Chu Tian couldn't help but be excited. He and Qinger accidentally picked up the earrings in the ruins of Orion Village, and they were always kept in their arms as suspects.
Although according to Youao Mountain, the 17 masters of the Northern Underworld Mansion who destroyed the village and killed Lin Yinxue on that day had all died except for him, the owner of this earring has always been an unsolved mystery.
Eshanyue whispered, "Yes, I know. Where did you find it?
"My hometown, in the ruins of Orion Village in Daya Mountain."
"Your hometown... You are a child in the Orion Village of Daya Mountain."
Chu Tian was surprised and said, "Hasn't Luojia told you? At the beginning of the year, I used to go down the mountain to look for my sister who had been lost for many years. I happened to meet Youao Mountain on Daya Mountain, and then I knew that he was one of the murderers who destroyed the village in those years!"
"No, he's not," Eshanyue blurted out: "Aoshan has suffered in a human being!"
Chu Tian said in astonishment, "How do you know?"
"I know--" There was no trace of blood on Eshanyue's face. She covered her chest and sat back in the chair: "Because this earring is mine!"
"Yours? How can it be!" Chu Tian was shocked and his mind was confused.
"My." Eshanyue nodded, and the other hand stretched out and slowly spread out. The palm was exactly the same as the other earring.
Chu Tian felt like a stuffy stick in his head. Looking at the pair of shiny earrings, his breathing became rapid and difficult.
"That night... were you there too?"
"I was here and witnessed the whole process of the bloody battle." Eshanyue said slowly, "I shouldn't have appeared on the list of seventeen people, but I still went because of Aoshan."
"But Youaoshan said that all the murderers except him were dead!"
"Is that what he said to you?" Eshanyue's face can't be said to be happy or sad.
Chu Tianyi Province, Huo Ran understood why Youaoshan lied to himself - he wanted to protect Eshanyue!
"I'm afraid he still hides a lot of details from you, right?" Eshanyue said softly, "Only in this way can you get rid of me. However, in fact, I was the originator of the fire. Chu Tian, let me tell you what happened in Orion Village that night..."
