Chong Zi - Chapter 29 : Calamity

The moonlight is vast, and two figures are standing in the wind under the main peak of Nanhua.

"You..."

"You can't let them refine the holy sword."

A moment of silence.

"Whether this succeeds or not is not entirely up to you, it also depends on God's will."

“There's no time left. It's not right to reveal your identity at this time. Otherwise, all previous achievements will be forfeited. No matter what, this subordinate is definitely trying his best.

"You came to Nanhua with me for so many years, I..." the voice of the void sounded like a dream and sighed, "I didn't expect Wan Jie to get out of control. To hide from Luo Yinfan, I have no other plans."

"To my Demon Race, this subordinate will die without regrets."

"Luo Yinfan should leave in two days. You can act while he is away. Don't act rashly. I will see you again."

"Yes."

***

Midnight Chonghua Palace and the lights were turned on in the room.

The shame of having her secret exposed, the fear of being rejected by her, the shame of having her body violated, those dirty and disgusting hands, turned into a nightmare, haunting her forever and can't be chased away.

I want to be with him, but I dare not come closer.

The pearl silently reflected on the face, the person on the bed didn't get up, and the black hair on his forehead was wet with sweat. Her long eyelashes trembled, her pale face was full of despair and embarrassment, and she almost fainted.

A figure stood in front of the bed, her white clothes dragging on the ground.

Since today, he seems to have changed his personality. All sorts of abnormal behavior and humility in front of him. It is a clear manifestation of self-abandonment. What dream made him so afraid?

His black eyes were bottomless, and there was no expression.

Without going into the dream to find out, he bent down, gently picked it up, took out a porcelain pillow, and put on the exact same one.

Gradually, the person on the bed calmed down, and the color of fear faded from his small face.

The figure disappeared with the pearl, and the room was dark again.

The sacred tree in the town on Zhenshan Shenmu mountain, bearing dreams.

***

In the Nameless Cave on Qingtian Peak, Chongzi didn't know when there was a huge round tripod with ten people, with a red charcoal in the middle. The flames roared, constantly releasing a fiery and oppressive aura.

The strangely shaped long sword stood upright in the giant cauldron, and the body of the sword glowed with a dark red luster, layering the color of the flames, faintly revealing a third of evil.

Luo Yinfan and Yu Du and other leaders stood beside the tripod.

"That sword has been soaked in the four seas for seven days, and its demonic energy still hasn't subsided. It is truly an iron heart."

"How is that good?"

Yu Du turned to his side, and a disciple next to him immediately held the jade box in both hands.

The jade box was opened, and a bead the size of an egg, flawless and white appeared within. At the same time, everyone present felt a sense of shock. The enthusiasm around them suddenly waned, and the entire cave was filled with peace and harmony.

Yu Xuzi praised, "This is really a treasure trove of Buddhism!"

Yu Du smiled and looked at Luo Yinfan, "Junior Brother, you better help him with a little Golden Fairy Spirit."

Luo Yinfan raised his left hand lightly. None of the square beads in the box felt the power of the immortals, so they flew up and slowly floated up into the sky above the giant cauldron. Stopping and rotating more than ten times, suddenly, a soft and holy light exploded from the bead, covering the Demon Sword.

Since ancient times, Buddha and demon have controlled each other, and the Demon Sword has been shaking. Under the dual control of Wufangzhu and Nine Heavens flames, Sword Demon was finally defeated, showing signs of struggle.

The principals breathed a sigh of relief, but no one spoke.

Yu Du sighed, “Ordinary people are the most important. Since he is willing to sacrifice himself, he will understand that we are truly powerless. I will send people to guard them here. Immortal friends, let's return to our palace to rest and drink tea first."

In any case, it ended up being a big event, and the principals came out of the cave.

Yu Du suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, is it time for Little Brother to go to Yaochi?"

Luo Yinfan nodded, “The catastrophe is approaching. In two days, I will enter Tongtianmen, to the Yaochi of the God Realm. I will leave the matters here to Senior Brother and the sect heads.”

Everyone quickly understood that he would avoid calamity, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will do my best."

Luo Yinfan said, "Ni Lun's sword, there are many pretenders. When you hear the news, you must take action, and you must be wary of Jiuyou Demon Palace."

Yu Xuzi said, "With Headmaster Yu and all the immortal friends here, it's nothing big. Your Highness, please just go. I'm afraid I won't have the blessings of going to Yaochi in this life. Don't forget to bring some lotus seeds when he came back to cheer me up.”

Everyone laughs.

Luo Yinfan returned to Chonghua Palace, and when he looked up, he saw a figure beside the four seas.

Chongzi hasn't had nightmares for the first time recently, and his complexion is much better. He sat on the edge of the four seas like a child, dazed, with a little devil snake asleep beside him.

"The four seas are cold, so don't sit too long."

Chongzi got up quickly, "Master came back early today."

The little devil snake was a little scared of him, so it nodded obediently, and walked away.

Luo Yinfan walked over the stone bridge and suddenly stopped, "Chong'er."

For a name he had not heard for a long time. Chongzi froze for a moment before regaining his senses, then took two steps back, "Master."

"Teacher will leave for two days to go to Yaochi in God's Realm to avoid calamity. You stay in Zizhu Peak and be careful in everything."

Avoiding catastrophe? Chongzi was a little surprised, but he had heard of this.

The six realms of heaven and earth are clearly distinguished. Each realm has its own calamity, and when the number of calamities comes, those with knowledge usually go to the other five realms to escape the calamities. The God Realm was above the Immortal Realm, and it was undoubtedly the best place for immortals to escape calamity. Unfortunately, the God Realm had long since been destroyed, and there was no one to take care of it. Therefore, most of the people in the Immortal Gate can only choose to go to the world to avoid disaster, and now he is the only one who has the ability to enter the Tongtian Gate and go to the Yaochi Heavenly Palace.

"Master's Calamity this time... does it matter?"

"The realm of the gods is above the nine heavens, and outside the realm of the immortals, it should be easy to avoid calamity here."

"When will the teacher be back?"

“I will be back in just one day,” Luo Yinfan turned to look at him, “Master has set up a barrier on Zizhu Peak. No one can enter. Don't make trouble without permission, so I don't worry.”

Chongzi said "Oh".

Luo Yinfan didn't say anything else, and walked straight towards the main hall.

"Teacher..."

"What is it?"

Chongzi hesitated, lowered his eyes, and muttered, "I... it's okay. Master please be careful."

Luo Yinfan didn't answer, raised his hand and dusted off his muddy clothes, "If it's boring, ask Mu Yu and Zhen Zhu to walk with you."

The white clouds swept the stairs, Linghe lived in the hall, and the scenery of Zizhu Peak seemed to have never changed. It seemed that there had never been half a dead bamboo leaf in the mountains.

Catastrophe approaching, Luo Yinfan went to Yaochi as scheduled.

Chongzi went into an empty hall, Chonghua Palace was even more desolate. He sat alone until dusk.

Was the soul left in the Sword Demon really Chu Bufu's soul? After several attempts, Luo Yinfan moved the topic consciously or not, let alone not letting him see, the answer was obvious.

He didn't know how many times he had seen a gentle smile and heard the melancholy sound of a zither in his dreams. He didn't know whether it was the white-clad elf or the red-haired demon in Wan Jie Land who had saved the world. All he knew was that he was the first person to treat her well, other than his father and mother who had died.

The scene from so many years ago was still as clear as yesterday.

She wore a snow-white robe, with long hair hanging like ink. He sat down in a half-squat and lifted Chongzi who had been bullied so much, off the ground. Holding her dirty little hands, she taught him earnestly.

The gods who are famous all over the world have had the same bad life experiences.

He saved her, but when she herself was lost, no one came to save her.

He said he would send Chongzi back in two years.

Wan Jie only hated Chongzi himself and didn't even give him two years.

He has saved countless lives and killed countless people in his life. When he took out the Demonic Sword, he already knew the price and consequences. Chongzi didn't want him to have an accident, but did he really want him to let him disappear?! Just like him back then, teachers and ordinary people knew how to choose, but they still took the wrong path, and now he was both conflicted.

Chongzi couldn't just let him disappear. He should at least go see her, see her one last time. He still had a lot to say to her, and she would definitely want to hear a few more words from him.

When the teacher returns tomorrow, there will no longer be a chance to ask Mu Yu? No one noticed at night, begging him to take him there to see?

Chongzi stood up, and before he walked out of the door, suddenly the bell on the opposite main peak rang loudly.

There were more than half of the people in Nanhua main peak than the usual twenty or thirty disciples guarding the side hall of the main hall.

What is going on? Chongzi couldn't find Mu Yu in the room. So he stepped forward and asked a disciple, "Brother Duan, did you see the first Shishu?"

That disciple was Yu Du's disciple, named Duan Chenfei, and hurriedly instructed him when he heard the words, “The Jiuyou Demon Palace is coming, and the Headmaster and several sect heads have gone outside the main gate to chase away the enemy. Return to the Peak. Zizu."

Sure enough, Sword Demon's refinement wouldn't be that simple, and half of Ni Lun's magic power was sealed within it. Chongzi thought for a while and asked, "Is Sister Zhenzhu outside too?"

Duan Chenfei said, "Zhenzhu and Yunying were ordered to guard Qingtian Peak."

Are they guarding? Chongzi was overjoyed, thanked him and left.

Under the twilight sky, Qingtian Peak rose into the clouds, making it even more majestic. However, at this moment, there was dead silence along the way. Hundreds of disciples fell to the ground, their eyes closed, their expressions different. He walked dozens of steps, only to see Yan Zhenzhu and Yunying lying on the ground.

Chongzi was frightened and ran, "Sister Zhenzhu!"

The body is warm, and there is still a breath.

Chongzi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the other students, and changed color again nervously.

It's not hard to guess the current situation. There really is a spy in Nanhua. His teacher went to Yaochi in the God Realm, and the Jiuyou Demon Palace came to attack, and they all came out to meet the enemy.

Could it be that he had already ascended to obtain the Demonic Sword? He had to tell the teacher as soon as possible!

Chongzi didn't dare to delay, and rushed back to the main hall to inform Duan Chenfei of this matter. Duan Chenfei still didn't believe it, and immediately brought a few disciples to Qingtian Peak.

Most of the disciples at several intersections were killed or injured, and those who were still alive were cursed and unable to wake up.

The matter was serious, and Duan Chenfei didn't dare to delay. He ordered the two disciples to report to Yu Du, and at the same time asked other disciples to help Yan Zhenzhu, Yunying and others who were unconscious again.

“Senior brother, I will go upstairs and take a look.”

"Sister..."

Before he finished speaking, Chongzi had already pushed Xing Can up the mountain. Duan Chenfei was worried, for he was afraid that the man was still above him and was about to give chase with the sword when suddenly a hand reached out from behind to grab him.

"Master Uncle."

"How are you?"

The road to Qingtian Peak was not complicated. Chongzi rushed forward, and it was easy to find the Nameless Cave that Mu Yu and others said.

This guy took advantage of his teacher and Headmaster's absence, and injured so many guard students. Wasn't his aim the Demonic Sword that was inside? Now, it seems nothing happened here. Didn't he go up the mountain to get the sword?

"Chongzi?" Wen Lingzhi watched him, and immediately raised a wary look, pressing down on the sword with his right hand, "How did you get up?"

Chongzi investigated, "This...is something wrong?"

Wen Lingzhi didn't answer, sarcastically, "You don't study magic. You really have a lot of free time, and dare to break through the mountain, then ask His Majesty to intercede for you?"

It's like he doesn't know what's going on below, Chongzi thought to himself. No matter what that person's goal was, Duan Chenfei had already summoned someone to report on it. They will come soon, better go first to see uncle.

For the first time, she begged softly, "Uncle, please let me in and see Uncle Wan Jie. It will only be a moment."

Wen Lingzhi was stunned for a moment, and scolded, "Senior Wan Jie left long ago. Who do you want to see? Who let you come up here? Senior Brother Mu?"

"I came alone, something happened to Sister Zhenzhu and others!" Chongzi recounted what had happened, and knelt down with tears in his eyes, "Senior Brother Duan has asked someone to report to the Headmaster. Uncle Wan Jie died for me. I beg Shishu Wen to let me in to see him one last time. In the future, I will will do whatever you want."

Wen Lingzhi was suspicious, looked at him a few times, raised his eyebrows and said, "I advise you to come back immediately. Otherwise, let the Headmaster come to take a look, and have people say that Shishu hurt you."

Chongzi gritted his teeth, "No matter what, I will bear it all, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Wen."

Wen Lingzhi sneered, "Easy to say. The headmaster ordered me to stay here. If something were to happen, how could I escape the responsibility?"

Chongzi prostrated and said, "I am begging Shishu this time."

Wen Lingzhi looked complicated, and suddenly read a few words.

"Uncle, this..."

"It's a sleeping spell. It's up to you to use it or not. What to say in the future is up to you. You can't blame me for the accident."

"Thank you Uncle."

***

The flames in the cauldron were bright red. The strange thing is that the whole cave isn't that hot. The crimson long sword stood upright in the flames, entangled by the flames, the body of the sword trembled slightly, and it seemed to become extremely painful.

The powerful evil energy still can't hide the familiar feeling, the spiritual power is concentrated in the eyes, and the remnant of the soul can be seen faintly.

Chongzi stared blankly and muttered, "Uncle, is that you?"

The lingering soul led the sword body to struggle.

The sword urged him to leave! Apart from him, who would worry so much about it? Chongzi finally cried and choked, "Uncle! Uncle! I miss you so much. They want to refine this sword, what should I do?"

"In fact, I have thought about it for a long time, and I don't plan to return to Nanhua. I told you to leave that day, just because I was angry with you, and I didn't want to see you take the risk for Fairy Gong. How can you take it seriously? Don't leave me . Don't ask me! I'd rather stay with you forever in Wan Jie Land, and never come out again!"

The rest is quiet.

It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he knew that sooner or later this day would come. How could he not let go?

There seems to be a hint of smile under the flames.

Come back, stay in Nanhua, forget everything, don't be sad.

Heartbroken, Chongzi fell to the ground and shook his head.

Don't go, Uncle. I will find a way to save you. Even if you have to leave, I will truly be alone from now on. You said you'd protect me!

No, you are not alone. There are teachers and uncles. How can you leave them again when uncle left you? Little Chongzi, you really don't want to go back to Nanhua? Are you really happy to live in Wan Jie Land?

"They treat me well, and they take care of me. I have tried my best. The headmaster and Min Xianzun are both afraid that I have become a demon, and... Master doesn't believe it. He doesn't believe it either."

You wouldn't. I don't want you to disappear. Their kindness has conditions. Whether you're good or evil, even if I fall into a demon, you won't like it, right?

There was no answer, and the soul that remained on the sword seemed to be speechless.

Suddenly, a short laugh came from the ear. "Come on, you can save him if you take down Wu Fangzhu." The voice was ugly, but full of charm.

"Who are you!" Chongzi is horrified.

"Don't ask who I am. I just want to help you. Don't you want to save him? Get rid of Wufangzhu quickly, or he will be lost."

Chongzi stood up subconsciously, followed his lead, and looked up at the cave. Sure enough, he saw white beads floating in the air, emitting a sacred and gentle light. It must be the legendary Buddha treasure Wufangzhu.

Do not listen! Go, Little Chongzi.

With shock in his heart, Chongzi suddenly came back to his senses, only to see that Chu Bufu's residual soul was extremely excited, but found it difficult to escape the shackles of Sword Demon.

Taking advantage of his hesitation, the voice sounded again, "Do you really have the heart to let him die? He is the best person in the world for you, but you can't help him?"

Chongzi was confused, looked at the soul left in the sword, and stepped back, "No..."

"Who told you to go back to your teacher? When you were bullied, who saved you? Xianmen treated you like this, and wanted to hurt him, how can you be silent?"

Little Chongzi, can't listen. He will hurt you, don't be fooled by him, go!

Two conflicting thoughts collided in his mind. Chongzi closed his eyes in pain. That Sword Demon deliberately tricked him, but didn't he really want to save Uncle?

There was a rustling sound behind him, as if something was crawling, a little familiar.

Chongzi turned around in shock, "Little devil snake!"

The little devil snake raised its head and looked at Sword Demon, and then at him, with a sense of anger and blame.

Chongzi was speechless, and he was more shocked than guilty. He didn't say it from start to finish, how would he know? Next, Duan Chenfei and others guarded the mountain, how could it slip? Duan Chenfei had sent someone to report. After such a long time, why didn't Yu Du and the others come?

A suspicious cloud suddenly appeared, and a bad feeling also appeared.

"What are you doing here, no, don't, come back!"

There was no time to stop it, the little demon snake's head fell, and the thin snake's body grew rapidly, and after a while, it was as thick as a bucket, and rushed forward to surround the giant cauldron, like a whirlwind.

The burning smell disappeared. It was the body of a snake scorched by the flames of the Nine Heavens.

Chongzi didn't care and rushed over; "No. You will burn to death. Come back soon!"

The snake's tail brushed against it, and the little demon looked at it reluctantly, turned its head decisively, and coiled the Demonic Sword in the cauldron. The sword demon seemed to understand its meaning.

Controlled by Buddhist treasures and magic techniques, the sword spirit is not strong, but at close range, such a sword spirit is enough to hurt people, and in an instant, the snake's body is smashed into pieces!

The scene was tragic. Chongzi felt dark in front of him, his heart ached, and he lost his voice in panic.

The pitiful blue demon blood splashed, splashed on the ground, stained his face, and stained the mirror-like walls of the cave around him.

Also, no square beads.

Snake Demon, loyal to its master, gave its life to fight, Wufangzhu's purest sacred object was stained with snake blood, its brilliance suddenly faded, and was defeated.

"Haha..." a sinister laugh.

A group of people came in from outside the door, and it was Yu Du and several Principals in front, followed by Wen Lingzhi and others.

Seeing the situation in the cave, Yu Du first sighed.

"Evil Beings!" Min Yunzhong shouted angrily, but was stopped when he tried to move.

Shocked by his anger, Chongzi suddenly woke up when he didn't see Duan Chenfei and the previous disciples, looking at the burning flames, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his body was cold, and he couldn't help taking a step back. .

Yes, will he be crushed too?

***

The cold Nanhua Hall lit up, and a person was already standing on the high steps. His expression was indifferent, motionless like a stone statue, and he was wearing cold white clothes, which was very eye-catching.

Chongzi walked into the hall step by step, knelt down, his big eyes were slightly dull, and his eyes were very calm.

Her dark eyes were as dark as night, and she couldn't tell whether he was looking at her or not.

Min Yunzhong rushed up the stairs angrily, Yu Du only frowned, Xingxuan didn't know what to say, all the heads knew the situation was embarrassing, and each made excuses to return to the room.

The Four Immortal Venerables returned to their seats, Mu Yu and the other disciples all drank back, and the hall door slowly closed.

The crimson Demonic Sword stood tall in front of the stairs, glistening with pride and mockery. No Wu Fangzhu has been destroyed, and it is impossible to refine it anymore.

Yu Du looked at the sword and sighed, "I leave it to Supervisor Min to deal with it."

The brothers and sisters of the same generation all died under this sword, and now they have finally found it to refine it, but now things have changed in the middle. Min Yunzhong said hatefully, "Evil Being! What else do you want to say!"

Chongzi shook his head.

No need to justify. Everything that happened today shouldn't have happened, but in his heart, his Uncle Wan Jie was just as important. The little devil snake did what he wanted to do but Chongzi didn't dare to do it, was that wrong? It didn't count, at least it was much better than the previous injustice.

He suddenly asked, "Where's Senior Brother Duan?"

"If Duan Chenfei lives to report the news, how will he let you succeed? If we are one step too late, I'm afraid that Sword Demon has a new host!" Min Yunzhong sneered, "Now, who is going to frame you?"

Chongzi said nothing.

At this point, there should be no hope.

"That's right, breaking through Qingtian Peak personally. Killing fellow sects, instructing the demonic snake to destroy Wu Fangzhu to save Sword Demon Ni Lun. Do you know his crime?"

"Chongzi is guilty."

Min Yunzhong thought he would deny it, but the result was unexpected, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

Yu Du said, "Have you thought about the aftermath of this disaster?"

Chongzi was silent for a moment, then bowed to the ground, "Chongzi has great hopes for Teacher and Headmaster. Even if I die, I have no complaints. I beg Master and Headmaster...please forgive me."

Min Yunzhong said coldly: "Qingtian Peak is guarded by many disciples. How can you control them with your own strength? If you really have the heart to repent, you can avoid suffering."

Chongzi shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Evil Being! When your teacher was away, Jioyou Demon Palace came to attack, taking the opportunity to act, it was meticulous, how could you not know it?" Min Yunzhong only thought he refused to answer, and said angrily , "From the point of view of guardianship, I have never sent you to the execution hall. If you still care about your teacher's kindness, don't embarrass him."

Stabbed where it hurt, Chongzi immediately lifted his face.

"I just want to save Uncle, I really don't know about other things, Chongzi would never dare to deceive Master!"

"You bastard. You have committed a serious crime and have abandoned your teacher's teachings. How could he become your teacher?!"

Chongzi's face was pale and he didn't say anything else.

Min Yunzhong stood up, "Send to the execution hall!"

“Wait a moment,” the person beside him who had not spoken for a long time suddenly said indifferently, “Nanhua has a traitor, so why ask him.”

As soon as the sound fell, the two hall doors opened automatically, and a purple figure flew out from outside the door, and fell to the ground with a muffled sound, which was actually caught from the sky.
