But ask the people

Chapter 39

After Jiang Yi entered the Yunqing Gate, he didn't see the guarding disciples. It wasn't until he entered the Yunqing Main Hall that he realized that it was full of people.

Jiang Yi frowned, and was about to step forward, but a disciple spotted her first, and shouted: "It's Jiang Yi, the sword god!"

As soon as the words fell, many disciples looked at her one after another and made way for her. Jiang Yi also saw Gu Liansheng in the center of the hall and the huge illusion entrance behind him.

"Master." Jiang Yi nodded to him, then walked to the entrance of the illusion, scanned for a week and asked, "What's going on."

Seeing her pale expression, Gu Liansheng seemed to have guessed the reason for her retreat. He and Jiang Yi explained: "Half a month ago, we selected dozens of disciples to enter the illusion to participate in the trial, but suddenly an evil... For a while, they were trapped inside and couldn't get out."

"Why not save?"

"Trial illusion, except for those who participate in the test, other people can't use their spiritual power when entering." Gu Liansheng looked at her and said bluntly: "Besides, the people who set up the formation have amazing formations, which are difficult to break."

Jiang Yi lowered his eyes for a moment, and said: "There is really no solution."

Although everyone has accepted this result, after all, even the sect leader has nothing to do, but they still couldn't help scolding Shen Chaosheng in their hearts several times, turned their heads and stopped looking at the scene in the illusion, and endured the pain.

Jiang Yi couldn't save him, so he had no chance at all.

Gu Liansheng thought that Jiang Yi would leave, after all, it seemed that she was just passing through Yunqing on the way out of the customs, but the next second Jiang Yi asked herself.

"Where's Lu Mingxi?"

Her attitude didn't change, but after hearing that Lu Mingxi was also in the illusion, she suddenly changed her mind. Without Gu Liansheng's consent, she passed through the crowd and entered the illusion, disappearing before their eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu said to Gu Liansheng, "Master, Jiang Yi seems to have changed a lot."

Gu Liansheng didn't answer this question, but just said an inexplicable sentence to himself: "The way of the common people is better than the way of ruthlessness."

……

Jiang Yi brought all the people back before it was time for a stick of incense. Everyone in the Yunqing Gate was shocked, and they all speculated about what realm Jiang Yi had reached.

On the other hand, Jiang Yi remained calm, she put Lu Mingxi's arm on her shoulders, didn't care about the stains on Lu Mingxi's body, and led her to the outside of the hall, leaving a word by the way.

"I ruined the illusion of the trial, sorry."

Jiang Yi dragged Lu Mingxi back to his disciple's residence, first checked her physical condition with spiritual power, and couldn't help frowning.

Lu Mingxi's bones were completely broken, and the most serious thing was that his right arm was almost useless. The bones were shattered by spiritual power and embedded in the flesh, making it impossible to get them out.

In ancient times, there was a method of bone shaping, but it is a pity that it has not survived to this day.

Jiang Yi first entangled Lu Mingxi with the spiritual breath that symbolized life, and peeled off her bones bit by bit. The strands of spiritual thread passed through the body and invaded the spiritual consciousness, like a sweet spring suddenly appearing in the desert. After the wound was healed, she wiped away the blood from the corner of Lu Mingxi's lips, and finally performed a simple healing formula, then sat in the room and waited for Lu Mingxi to wake up.

Her gaze turned to a gold and jade screen fan dropped by the master in the corner, and she stayed there for a long time before moving away.

There are many scratches on the golden and jade screen, and a lot of dust has accumulated on the border. If it appeared anywhere else, Jiang Yi might have to pay more attention to it. Unfortunately, she didn't even need to ask if it appeared here.

Lu Mingxi woke up longer than Jiang Yi estimated. Jiang Yi leaned his head on the window frame and looked at the half-night moon before Lu Mingxi opened his eyes.

"Ginger...?"

"Ah."

After hearing the movement, Jiang Yi turned his head to look at the dazed Lu Mingxi, and first said something extremely shocking.

"Your arm can't be healed, and you won't be able to hold a sword in the future."

"..."

Lu Mingxi's eyelashes trembled, and he took countless breaths in silence, taking a long time before responding.

"I see."

She had anticipated this outcome, she knew it when she was hit.

She sat up with support, Jiang Yi's treatment just now was effective after all, at least Lu Mingxi didn't feel much pain now.

But even so...

The fist at her side was loosened and then clenched again, struggling and tormenting inside, finally made up her mind, and asked tentatively: "Jiang Yi, do you know who caused the change in the illusion?"

Lu Mingxi was betting that since Jiang Yi entered, he must have seen the talisman at the entrance of the cave, and since it was enough to break the illusion, he would definitely recognize who the talisman came from.

She bet that Jiang Ye wouldn't let him go.

But after Jiang Yi heard the words, he just stared at her with a pair of indifferent eyes, and said inquiringly, "I will practice with you starting tomorrow, okay?"

All the strength in Lu Mingxi's body instantly dissipated, and her lips trembled several times before she uttered a word.

"Okay... my sister."

On the second day, before the hour of the hour, Jiang Yi knocked on the door of Lu Mingxi's room.

Before dawn, Jiang Yi brought Lu Mingxi out with dewdrops and water mist.

"Where are we going?" Lu Mingxi asked.

"You should take over the commission from the sect." Jiang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, and what he said was unquestionable.

Lu Mingxi bit her lip, a little hesitant, but Jiang Yi seemed to have not seen it, silently waiting for her next move.

Lu Mingxi also saw that Jiang Yi had to take her with him, so he walked around Jiang Yi and left the residence in a self-defeating manner.

But before she took a few steps, Jiang Yi reminded again: "Your sword."

Lu Mingxi didn't know what Jiang Yi wanted to do, but he picked up the sword silently and walked to her side.

"You... have you accepted a commission from some sect?"

Jiang Yi replied: "Reorganize the residence for the village at the foot of the sect's mountain."

Lu Mingxi followed Jiang Yi for a long time, looking at the burnt marks on the ground, he was extremely surprised.

This is the village that Shen Chaosheng burned down.

How could it be here?Did Jiang Yi hear any rumors?

She looked at Jiang Yi fiercely, as if she wanted to ask aloud.

Jiang Yi didn't understand her gaze: "What's wrong?"

Lu Mingxi shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Jiang Yi probably didn't know.

She has spoken to the villagers, who are less withdrawn than before and seem happy to have moved.

Lu Mingxi heard them talking to Jiang Yi.

"A family of relatives lived here before, but unfortunately we can't get in touch. Hey, I still want to take care of one or two according to the old man's instructions."

"We used to live on the border, but now we can't live anymore... You know, all the crops we planted on the border were destroyed, but someone made up for our losses..."

Jiang Yi listened silently and said nothing.

It wasn't until later that those people said that enough was enough, so they asked Jiang Yi: "Miss, can you help us chop some wood."

After Jiang Yi responded, he turned and walked towards the woods, as if he was on some mission.

Lu Mingxi looked at Jiang Yiyuan's leaving figure, and chased after him without much thought.

"You brought me here to help them chop wood? But any disciple in the sect can do these things. Why do you have to do these things when you just left the customs?"

Jiang Yi didn't respond, she glanced at Lu Mingxi and called out the Huaixi Sword, which even made Lu Mingxi jump.

"You want to chop down trees with the sword of spiritual knowledge?"

Lu Mingxi thought Jiang Yi was really weird, but Jiang Yi didn't think so.

She even asked Lu Mingxi: "Can you hold a sword with your left hand?"

"……Won't."

"I teach you."

Jiang Yi switched the sword to his left hand and performed a sword move. The shadow of the sword fluctuated with her movements, and he stepped back slightly. While bending down, he threw the sword forward. The sword flipped several times, and finally fell into her palm again .

While retracting the sword, all the trees around him fell down, and the broken part was a smooth blade.

After a set of movements, it is very smooth.

Lu Mingxi had seen Jiang Yi teach him sword moves, but what he saw now was even worse than before.

Lu Mingxi was eager to try, she held the sword in her left hand, but she couldn't do half of the dance no matter what.

"Jiang Ye, I can't seem to do it."

"Ah."

Jiang Yi could see that Lu Mingxi was not suitable for the left-handed sword, but she didn't intend to make Lu Mingxi give up, so when Lu Mingxi wanted to put down the sword, she used the Huaixi sword to resist Guisheng.

"Come again."

Lu Mingxi was a little dazed, seeing Jiang Yi's persistent attitude, he had no choice but to raise his sword again.

But every time she swung it, she felt extremely tired.

Spiritual consciousness is the origin of the birth of sword intent. Today's Lu Mingxi, practicing sword is like lifting an iron, and he can't bear the weight.

Lu Mingxi didn't know how long it had passed, it was so long that her arm was aching, she remembered what happened in the illusion again, and couldn't help frowning.

Jiang Yi was leaning on the tree trunk, but when he saw it, he didn't say anything, leaving only one sentence.

"Practice for a hundred days, you will definitely improve."

After that, she picked up the wood and walked towards the village.

Lu Mingxi muttered to himself: "How is it possible?"

She has been practicing swordsmanship for three years, and finally she is superb in swordsmanship. She was destroyed by the illusion, but Jiang Yi wanted her to practice again.

But even her spiritual consciousness has withered, so what should she use to practice?

The last two returned silently.

The villagers looked at Jiang Yi, who was carrying the wood on his shoulders, with gratitude in their eyes, and they offered a bowl of water: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Yi didn't catch his breath, and turned to leave.

Lu Mingxi followed.

Jiang Yi didn't take her back to the sect, but walked eastward instead.

As it was getting late, Jiang Yi found a river mouth, picked up some firewood, and lit a fire.

"Aren't we going back?"

"After you entered Yunqingmen, you should not have come out for a long time."

So Jiang Yi took Lu Mingxi to see the clouds and mist in Xiuxian Mountain, the mountains and rivers in Zhongzhou, the disasters on the border, and the joys and sorrows of the people.

With Jiang Yi's protection, Lu Mingxi also saw what is ruthless.

It was Lu Mingxi who asked Jiang Yi to save the fleeing people, and because of this Jiang Yi was stolen five hundred taels of entanglement.

It was Lu Mingxi who begged Jiang Yi to help the soldiers on the border to stop the demons from invading, and because of the victory in that battle, the next wave of monsters attacked multiplied, and more people died as a result.

……

Jiang Yi and Lu Mingxi stayed at the border for a while, until that day, when the monster took advantage of Jiang Yi to go out and attacked the village where Lu Mingxi was.

Lu Mingxi witnessed those people being killed, but she could only drag the Guisheng Sword, which was extremely heavy for her now, and beheaded a few low-level monsters.

Even though Lu Mingxi's veins were everywhere, he was crying in the dark and unclear dusk mixed with gunpowder smoke.

Jiang Yi didn't rush back.

When she came back, Lu Mingxi had already stood in front of those fallen ordinary people for a long time.

Jiang Yi's first words when he saw her were——

"Why don't you help them?"

Lu Mingxi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally became angry.

She turned around and yelled at Jiang Yi.

"Jiang Yi! My arm can no longer swing the sword, and I won't be able to swing it anymore. You checked it yourself, how could you not be clear?"

"I look like this..."

"Clearly no different from ordinary people."

"What should I do! You teach me!"

"Aren't you... my master?"

"Maybe one day, wherever you go, you find a familiar corpse."

"It must be because I can't deal with monsters...the bones are buried."

She accepted this kind of ending, maybe she should have died on the mountain of Tianlin, but she didn't have to suffer this.

After Lu Mingxi finished speaking, he locked himself in the house.

She didn't know how long Jiang Yi stood outside the house before leaving.

……

The two of them didn't speak for several days, Jiang Yi went out as usual to help the nearby residents clean up the monsters, while Lu Mingxi personally set up a tomb for those who passed away.

Until one day, Jiang Yi returned to the town, but he didn't find Lu Mingxi.

She didn't have Shen Chaosheng's ability to locate Guisheng, so she only found out that Lu Mingxi had gone to the forest where monsters often appeared on the west side of the town.

In a forest of hundreds of hectares, Jiang Yi searched one by one, almost killed most of the monsters, and finally found Lu Mingxi in a hidden cave.

Lu Mingxi endured for many days, and dragged her broken body into the cave before she couldn't help but fainted. There were not many intact parts on her body, as if she had fought with monsters hundreds of times, and there were bloodstains everywhere on the Returning Sword.

The most shocking thing was that there was a faint demonic energy between her brows, like a sign of madness.

For a person like Lu Mingxi who has exhausted his spiritual knowledge, if he goes mad, he will completely lose his sanity and become a low-level monster that will be hunted and killed at any time.

After Jiang Yi recognized the magic seal, he used a purification formula on Lu Mingxi, and at the same time carved a seal script on the ground.

Jiang Yi knew that this journey should be over.

Following the dancing of the sword spirit, she set up a teleportation formation on the spot, and teleported herself and Lu Mingxi back to Yunqingmen.

It was midnight at this time, the bright moon was hanging in the sky, the bamboo shadows were mottled, and the whole sect was extremely silent.

There are patrolling disciples outside the main hall, carrying lamps and walking together.

Jiang Yi put Lu Mingxi back on the bed in the house, saw the tears on Lu Mingxi's face by the moonlight, and suddenly realized——

I seem to be doing something wrong.

Not everyone can use a left-handed sword, nor can everyone be able to waste their spiritual consciousness and still have sword intent in their hearts.

Jiang Yi thought that if he took Lu Mingxi to the border where there was turmoil and chaos, and saw the suffering of the people and the turmoil of the demons, he would be able to regain his sword will and restore his spiritual consciousness.

She thought, even if she was ignorant, at least Lu Mingxi could feel it deeply?

The result turned out to be that Lu Mingxi had a dangerous heart demon, and broke into the monster forest alone, wanting to fight to the death.

She also thought that Lu Mingxi could open up a world without relying on spiritual power or swordsmanship.

But let Lu Mingxi watch those people die in front of her eyes.

I want her to regenerate spiritual consciousness, so it is not a kind of persecution.

Instead of doing this, why not do it differently——

She looked at Lu Mingxi's wrinkled face, and the blood overflowing from his right arm which was continuously corroded by the devil energy.

Without any hesitation, she pressed her left hand on her right shoulder, her expression unchanged, and spiritual power slowly emerged from her palm.

Jiang Yi made a decision.

She planned to bone Lu Mingxi and give her her right arm.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from her consciousness.

"If you do this, can you still abandon fraternity?"

"You clearly pointed out the best way for her, so all previous efforts are wasted."

Jiang Yi knows the source of the voice, it is not a demon, but one of the thousands of homologous births since she came out from Zhou Tian when she was a child.

Is all previous work wasted?

Jiang Yi really couldn't let Lu Mingxi go. Seeing Lu Mingxi's current appearance, she remembered that Shen Chaosheng and her brought back the sugar figurine dipped in cooked flour for Lu Mingxi.

Jiang Yi couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. Now she knows very little about emotions, and it's hard to detect them. It's also because of the decisions she made that made Lu Mingxi exhausted.

What should be done.

"But in your way, it's impossible..."

Jiang Yi didn't pay attention to it, and re-activated her spiritual power in her hands. After entering the door just now, she had already set up a boundary around her, and no one would come in.

In an instant, the room was filled with thick spiritual energy, with thousands of strands of spiritual energy entangled in it, which seemed to reflect a fine white light, anyone could recognize it, this is the power that can only be displayed by a god.

Jiang Yi used this power for the first time, but it was used on himself. The spiritual power tore her right arm and invaded her flesh and blood. The whole process was extremely painful. If someone else would have fainted from the pain, Jiang Yi only slightly She frowned, her temples were throbbing, and beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks.

After about half a stick of incense, the surrounding spiritual power dissipated one after another. There was a piece of bone in Jiang Yi's palm, which shimmered with golden light and contained supreme spiritual power.

This is a person who is close to the gods, and he has cultivated the bones of the gods, and his strength is comparable to that of gods.

Jiang Yi wanted to give it to Lu Mingxi.

Her eyebrows trembled slightly, and at the same time as the divine bone fell off her body, her spiritual consciousness also felt extremely empty. The divine body was connected with the spiritual breath, and it was necessary to strip away all desires to get rid of this section.

However, it is enough.

Jiang Yi re-fused the divine bones into Lu Mingxi's body, and re-examined her spiritual consciousness.

Breathing gradually stabilized, she stood in the room for a while, making sure that Lu Mingxi's body would not be repulsed by the god bone, and then left here.

After she left, she didn't find Lu Mingxi who had been in a coma all this time, and the corners of her eyes suddenly shed tears.

Jiang Yi went to see Gu Liansheng again.

Gu Liansheng told her that those disciples who entered the country together were fine, Jiang Yi nodded but didn't care too much.

Gu Liansheng told Jiang Yi again that the group of inner disciples missed her very much.

Only then did Jiang Yi's expression stagnate, and what he said was with an imperceptible loneliness.

"I'm not going."

She is ruthless and emotionless now, and doesn't know how to face them.

Jiang Yi turned around to leave, but Gu Liansheng suddenly realized something, his voice echoed in the hall.

"As soon as you broke your divine body, you gave Lu Mingxi the divine bone."

"Ah."

Jiang Yi didn't explain too much, but suddenly bowed to Gu Liansheng and left a very light sentence.

"Jiang Yi bid farewell to the head."
