The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 167

The illusion would not disappear because of Nangong Si’s pain. It continued cruelly, revealing the truth of the bloody past to everyone one by one.

Beside the Jincheng Pool, Nangong Liu crushed the face of the man-eating pomfret with his foot, looked around, and said, “Beast.”

“The beast wanted your wife’s spiritual nucleus. The Lord didn’t have to give it to him.” Xu Shuanglin said, “But the Lord still sold your wife for the Divine Martial Arts.”

“What do you mean by selling? Don’t make it sound so bad. Senior Sister Rong’s body was already weak. I invited the best doctor in Linling Yu to see her, and they all said that she didn’t have much time left. If she was healthy, how could I be willing to give her to this evil beast? ”

Xu Shuanglin raised his eyebrows slightly and didn’t say anything.

Nangong Liu stared at the man-eating pomfret for a while and suddenly became angry. He complained angrily, “Fate is unfair.”

It seemed that he didn’t expect that a person with both fame and fortune like him would criticize fate. Xu Shuanglin was a little surprised and actually laughed, “What?”

“I said, fate is unfair.”

“…”

“Why is it that when others ask for the Divine Martial Arts, those auspicious beasts ask for things like breaking flowers and singing songs? When it comes to me, I summon an evil beast that wants my wife’s life. What can I do? What else can I choose? ”

Nangong Liu looked very angry.

“When I asked for the Divine Martial Arts at the Jincheng Pool, you also saw it. The attendant was silent, and the grandmaster criticized. That Chu Wanning … Damn, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy dares to offend me like that. He talks so much about benevolence and morality … It’s easy for him to say that! I don’t believe that if he had to make a choice, he would choose between a dying wife and a powerful Divine Martial Arts! ”

Xu Shuanglin laughed, “That’s really hard to say. Don’t look at me like that. I’m serious. You can never guess what they are thinking. ”

“What else can they think? It’s nothing more than being famous in history. How can I not know them? ”

The more Nangong Liu thought about it, the more sullen he felt. He cursed and kicked the pomfret.

“Ever since I became the Sect Leader, I’ve really suffered a lot of grievances. Not to mention the curses, I still have to smile and greet people all day long … It’s fortunate that I was able to swallow my anger and endure the humiliation of kneeling. Otherwise, I’m afraid that when I asked for the sword, I would have died at the hands of Chu Wanning.”

“You’re right.” Xu Shuanglin was still smiling. “I also think that Chu Wanning really wanted to kill you back then. But I didn’t expect that you would actually be able to persuade him. Not only did you escape death from his Heaven’s Inquisition, you even sealed his mouth so that he wouldn’t reveal what you did beside the Jincheng Pool to the public. If we’re talking about survival skills, I’m quite impressed by Sect Leader Immortal Lord. ”

“He also knows that the Confucian Wind Sect can’t fall into chaos. So what if he’s angry?” Nangong Liu said, “Besides, I still have Si ‘er. Letting him think that his mother was seriously injured and died while killing a demon is a lot less irritating to him than the truth.”

Xu Shuanglin sighed. Surprisingly, he nodded impartially. “No wonder he wanted to leave. If I were him, I would also disgust you.”

“Do you think I want to? Do I have a choice? I already said — “Nangong Liu said,” Fate is unfair. ”

Seeing this, someone quietly looked in Chu Wanning’s direction and muttered, “So Grandmaster Chu actually knew about Madam Rong’s matter?”

“He knew, but he still helped Nangong Liu hide it. He actually didn’t tell the world.”

“He’s probably afraid of trouble. At that time, he was only fifteen years old. If he really offended the Confucian Wind Sect, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Someone softly spoke up for Chu Wanning. “I don’t think so. He’s just worried about losing the big picture. Didn’t Nangong Liu say that Grandmaster Chu didn’t tell the truth because he was afraid that Nangong Si would be sad if he found out?”

“But he can’t tell the severity of the matter. Is a child more important or is the integrity of a sect leader more important? Alas, if he told the truth earlier, the Confucian Wind Sect wouldn’t be in this situation now. ”

“You can’t say that. If he really told the truth back then, I’m afraid the upper cultivation world would be in chaos … In short, everyone has their own choices. If you were in his shoes, you might not necessarily be willing to stand up.”

“Oh, that’s not necessarily true. If I were in his shoes, I would definitely immediately expose Nangong Liu’s true colors. In this kind of matter, if you just stand by and watch, you’ll be an accomplice. ”

Although their voices were low, Mo Ran’s hearing was good. When several words reached his ears, he immediately became angry. Just as he was about to speak, someone pulled his sleeve.

“Master!”

Chu Wanning’s expression was indifferent as he shook his head. “There’s no need to say more.”

“But it’s not like that at all! Didn’t they understand? In that kind of situation, how could you make the matter public? Who can’t tell the severity of the matter? It’s obviously — ”

Chu Wanning said indifferently, “Angry?”

Mo Ran nodded.

Chu Wanning said, “Do you have to do something?”

Mo Ran nodded again.

Chu Wanning said, “Okay, then help me cover my ears.”

“…”

“I have no intention of arguing with them, but I don’t want to listen either. Help me cover my ears. When they stop talking, you can let go. ”

Mo Ran really walked behind Chu Wanning, raised his hands, and covered his ears. He lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him. He only felt resentful and distressed. He really couldn’t understand why there were still people dissatisfied when Chu Wanning did everything so well. This person seemed to have lived for others for both of his lifetimes. He had never been selfish for even a single day. Why was it that as long as something was controversial, as long as something was not so black and white, he would be criticized by so many people behind his back?

It seemed that things were always like this. People were often used to being grateful to the good deeds of the bad, but would not let go of the bad deeds of the good.

In his previous life, the Emperor Ta had killed countless people. One day, he took the wrong medicine and gave each of the masters of Wubei Temple ten thousand taels of gold. Because of this, he was praised and said that the Emperor Ta had become a Buddha. During that time, the Emperor Ta that people talked about, because of this small act of kindness, was practically shining brightly from head to toe.

But what about Chu Wanning? Chu Wanning was an indisputable grandmaster. He was the most benevolent immortal in the world. So as long as he did something wrong, he would be maliciously speculated by people.

It was so many times.

When Chu Wanning did things ruthlessly, people would angrily scold him for being cold-blooded.

When Chu Wanning did things softly, people would suspect that he was afraid of trouble.

Mo Ran even heard people talking about the incident of Councillor Chen in Colorful Butterfly Town during his five years of traveling. There was actually a voice saying that Chu Wanning was just trying to impress people, so he whipped his employer and hurt ordinary people.

“He’s just a heartless blockhead. Otherwise, look, which normal person doesn’t have a few friends? Look at this Chu Wanning, he betrayed Huaizui at the age of fifteen and has been alone ever since. In this big world, who would be willing to be his friend? ”

“Yes, that Councillor Chen in Colorful Butterfly Town, no matter how wrong he was, he was still an employer. Chu Wanning was so heavy-handed, he didn’t care about the face of the sect and didn’t care about the rules of the immortal sect. I think he has been alone for a long time, so his heart is a little twisted.”

Twisted heart?

Who was the twisted one?

Didn’t this person give enough?

Did he really want to squeeze his blood dry, chew his flesh, and even sacrifice his bones? Was this the right thing to do? Was this the right thing to do? Was this the right thing to do? Was he worthy of the name Grandmaster Chu?

Mo Ran covered his ears. Chu Wanning’s figure was tall and slender, but when he stood in front of Mo Ran today, the top of his head only reached his chin. Chu Wanning wasn’t a weak person, but when Mo Ran looked at him with lowered eyelashes, he suddenly felt that he was very pitiful. He couldn’t help but feel infinite love and tenderness.

He wanted to hug this person more than ever before.

There was no lust. He simply wanted to hug him. He wanted to use his flesh and blood to give him warmth in this hard world. That was all.

Regarding these doubts that came out of his mouth without thinking, as well as the words “If it were me, I would do and do and do and do”, Chu Wanning was much more used to it than Mo Ran, so he appeared very calm.

At this time, Jin Chengchi’s memories also ended. The memory fragments collapsed and reformed. Chu Wanning moved his gaze away and fell on Nangong Si.

Nangong Si had his back to him. He kept kneeling and didn’t stand up again.

Chu Wanning sighed softly.

Although he and Nangong Si weren’t master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple in reality. If possible, he really hoped that Nangong Si would think that Rong Yan unfortunately died while killing a monster. But things didn’t go as he wished. After so many years, the paper was penetrated by flames and burned to ashes.

In Chu Wanning’s gaze, the kneeling Nangong Si and the child kneeling in the mourning hall in his memories suddenly overlapped.

That child was clumsily carrying Xiao Yao You, but his recitation was very jerky. He couldn’t connect the words together. While wiping his tears, he slowly recited to his mother.

“There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun. The Kun is so big, I don’t know how many thousands of li it is; it turns into a bird, its name is Peng … “He stumbled. Every time he stopped, his young and tender face showed a pain that shouldn’t be experienced at his age.” And the world … praises it … but does not advise it … but does not advise it … but does not advise it … but does not advise it … but does not advise it … but does not advise it … but does not insist on it … but does not insist on it … to insist on the distinction between inside and outside, to debate it … ”

The child’s soft voice came to an abrupt stop. He didn’t recite it. His small body trembled slightly like a willow tree in the wind. In the end, he covered his face. Unable to hold it in any longer, he burst into tears.

“Mother … I was wrong. Si ‘er was wrong … please wake up, mother … I won’t be playful anymore. Please wake up and teach me again, okay?”

Later on, Xiao Yao You became Nangong Si. Every morning class, he would copy the scriptures from memory. He accompanied him from a young child to a high-spirited scholar.

Madam Rong left. She couldn’t teach him anymore.

Not long after, Chu Wanning also left. He didn’t look back.

Nangong Si didn’t have a teacher. He relied on this patched-up quiver of arrows and that sentence, “Greed, resentment, deceit, murder, rape, and plunder are the seven things a scholar should not do.” In the end, he grew up in this world’s number one sect. He grew up to be a righteous hero who was completely different from his father.

At this time, nearly fifteen years had passed since Madam Rong’s death.

The illusion gathered again. This time, what appeared in front of everyone was Nangong Liu’s sleeping chamber. It was a full moon night. Nangong Liu was curled up on the bed. The bed was covered with a mat and Madam Zhu was placed on it. It was obviously summer. However, Nangong Liu was wrapped in several layers of thick mattresses. He was trembling incessantly and his lips were purple.

Chu Wanning patted Mo Ran’s hand. “Let go. I want to continue watching.”

Mo Ran said, “You don’t have to watch. I’ll tell you.” He still didn’t want to let go of his hand that was covering Chu Wanning’s ear. However, after being patted twice by Chu Wanning, he knew that he couldn’t change his mind. He had no choice but to let go of his hand. At the same time, he gloomily swept his eyes around. He thought that if anyone said anything bad about Chu Wanning, he would secretly remember it in his mind. Later on, he would deal with these people alone.

In the illusion, Xu Shuanglin walked in from the door and saluted in a crooked manner. He didn’t follow the rules at all. However, Nangong Liu seemed to be used to it. He didn’t care. His eyes were bloodshot. He trembled as he asked, “Shuanglin, where’s the medicine? Where’s the medicine? ”

“It was mixed. It failed.”

Nangong Liu cried out. He was so scared that his snot and tears flowed out. “How could … how could … you clearly said it could … I can’t take it anymore. It’s like all the bones in my body have grown thorns and are pricking me! You, hurry up and help me close the windows tightly. Don’t let any light in. Don’t let any … ”

“It’s already closed tightly. Today is the full moon. Even if you don’t go out, you will still feel pain. “Xu Shuanglin said,” It’s useless. You can’t escape. ”

“No — no! Where’s the medicine? “Nangong Liu was a little crazy.” Where’s the medicine? Where’s the medicine? You said it could be mixed! I believe you! Where’s the medicine?! ”

“I re-read the scroll. I couldn’t mix it. The curse on your body is too vicious. You need something to break it. ”

“What?! I can give you whatever you want!! Just give me the medicine! Give me the medicine!! ”

Xu Shuanglin said, “I want the spiritual nucleus of the person who cast the curse.”

“！”

Nangong Liu’s face instantly turned pale.

“Spiritual nucleus … you want … you want his spiritual nucleus?”

“Do you have it?”

“How could there be more?!” Nangong Liu roared. His hair was messy, and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth. “You also know who cursed me! My good teacher, that trash … good-for-nothing … gentleman! Luo Fenghua! He usurped my position. When I drove him off the throne, I had already cut him into pieces! I even buried his ashes in the dangerous blood pool and sent his soul to hell, never to be reincarnated! Now, his bones have rotted away! You still want me to find his spiritual nucleus? How can I find it? How can I find it?! ”

Xu Shuanglin was silent for a while. When Nangong Liu finished roaring and gradually fell into despair, he slowly said, “I still have a way, but it’s very difficult to do. Do you want to hear it? ”

“Tell … tell me, tell me quickly!”

“Although Luo Fenghua is dead, you should know that it is recorded in the ‘Record of the Dead’ that ghosts who fall into hell, although they can never be reincarnated, they can gather the three souls and seven spirits, giving birth to the same skin, bones, and flesh as when they were alive, forming a ghost fetus. The more tragic the death of the ghost fetus, the stronger it will be. Some will even grow a giant skeleton outside of the ghost fetus to protect the soul from dissipating.”

“So what? I can’t just go to the Avici Hell and dig up his corpse … ”

“You can’t go, but he can come.” Xu Shuanglin smiled slightly. His expression was very peaceful under the candlelight, as if he was talking about which friend he would be going to for tea tonight. “The ghost realm and the mortal realm are separated by a barrier barrier. As long as you gather the five pure spiritual energies, you can tear open a gap in hell.”

“Tear … open a gap in hell?”

Xu Shuanglin smiled and said, “Yes, tear open a gap and lure Luo Fenghua’s ghost fetus out. The ghost fetus will have the same physical body as when he was alive, and it also has a spirit core. You can eat his flesh and take out his spirit core. Then you don’t have to worry about the curse not being broken.”

He paused and said, “It’s just that it’s a little difficult to gather the five spiritual energies. It’s best to need a good essence spirit body … Don’t worry, let me think of a way.”

Nangong Liu opened his mouth to say something, but what came out was a terrible wail. His tears and snot flowed, and he lay on the bed trembling violently.

“Is it really that painful?” Xu Shuanglin sighed. “Your master must have hated you for killing him. He actually put such a cruel curse on the ring. It’s really pitiful.”

“Wu …”

“Alright, just bear with it. It won’t hurt when the sun comes up.” As Xu Shuanglin spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed and crossed his legs. He supported his cheek with one hand and scratched his foot with the other. “I’ll accompany you. I’ll talk to you and distract you. You won’t be in so much pain.”

Nangong Liu’s whole body was buried in the depths of the quilt, and he couldn’t stop panting.

Xu Shuanglin said, “Hey, what are you talking about? … Why don’t we talk about it? He’s also a child who didn’t have it easy. He was born with a tyrannical spirit core, and it’s easy for him to go berserk. This seems to be a chronic illness of the Nangong family. I heard that his great-grandfather also had this illness? ”

Nangong Liu shrank under the quilt and swallowed his saliva. “Yes.”

“What are you going to do?”

“What do you mean?” Nangong Liu’s voice was trembling. “His illness is better than mine. It’s much easier to deal with. In the future, when he marries a wife … they’ll all be able to suppress the spirit flow through Dual Cultivation. You’d better … better worry more about my curse … ”

“Haven’t I always been worried about your curse? But the more you think about it, the more pain you’ll feel. ” Xu Shuanglin thus changed the topic. He scratched his toe and said with a smile, “But wouldn’t this kind of Dual Cultivation be too good for a Dao Companion’s body? I heard that Si ‘er’s great-grandmother passed away at a young age. ”

“Duh, duh.”

“Oh, I was just casually asking. I didn’t expect that she really died early because of Dual Cultivation.” Xu Shuanglin sighed. “The Confucian Wind Sect is really deep. Sect Master actually wants to use his wife’s life to help him get through this tribulation.”

“A woman’s life … is … useless.”

Xu Shuanglin laughed. “You look down on women so much.”

“It’s not like you don’t understand the teachings of the Grand Sect Master.”

“I don’t understand. What did the Grand Sect Master say?”

“The Confucian Wind Sect should be led by a gentleman.”

“That’s right.”

“What’s a gentleman? It’s a man. Do you understand? ”

“… Pfft, I’ll say something disrespectful. Sect Master, I’m afraid you’re going to make the Grand Sect Master come back from [Hero’s Mound] in anger. ”

Nangong Liu said with a trembling voice, “You haven’t married a wife, so you don’t understand. Women … are useless. Only carrying on the family line is … is their responsibility. Grandmother is willing to sacrifice herself for Grandfather … ”

“Willing?” Xu Shuanglin laughed. “Then shouldn’t you also find someone for Si ‘er who is willing to Dual Cultivation with him and give up her life for him?”

“… I’ve already found someone …”

Xu Shuanglin was stunned. “What? Who? Who? Who? ” He seemed to be very gossipy. He crawled deeper into the bed and almost wanted to pull Nangong Liu out of the quilt. “Okay, you even have a candidate in mind for the Young Master of the Confucian Wind Sect. Then tell me quickly.”

Nangong Liu wrapped himself in the quilt and moved deeper into the bed. After enduring the pain for a while, he said in a hoarse voice, “Your adopted daughter, Ye Wangxi.”
