Chapter 18
"What's wrong?" Fang Lijin came over to interrupt the dispute, "It was fine just now, why did you start arguing?"
Everyone looked towards the center of the dispute, Ying Mugui stared coldly at Lan Yuyu, the corners of his eyes turned red with anger; Lan Yuyu pursed her lips tightly, showing a trace of annoyance and embarrassment.
The others looked at Cheng Jieyu who was staying with the two of them. Cheng Jieyu moved his lips, wondering if he should mention what happened just now.
It was Lan Feiyu who made the move first, and he apologized to Mu Gui, as if he realized that he had really gone too far with his unscrupulous words.
"I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue—"
"Don't think I'll forgive you if you apologize."
Unexpectedly, Ying Mu Gui would not forgive others.
He raised his neck like a haughty peacock, and turned around proudly——
Then immediately put on an expression of grievance, and ran towards the four senior sisters Fengliu, Huatang, Xueying, and Yueyi.
"Senior Sister, Lan Jade is scolding me!"
Cheng Jieyu: "???"
He stared dumbfounded at Ying Mugui holding Senior Sister Fengliu's sleeve, weeping in a seemingly fake manner.
Senior Sister Fengliu touched Ying Mugui's cheek with pity and comforted him in a low voice, and Senior Sister Huacang took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
The two senior sisters Xueying and Yueyi looked at Lan Feiyu coldly, "Why is Mr. Lan targeting my young master?"
The rest: "..."
have to!He didn't even call him "Junior Brother", but directly met Wai Cheng as "Young Master".
Cheng Jieyu looked at the four senior sisters who were full of maternal brilliance, and then looked at Ying Mugui with admiration.
Master Shaogu is more than just Aquaman, he is clearly an Oscar-winning Aquaman!
The four senior sisters are obviously not two years older than him, but they are all his mother's fans.
And he is a majestic seven-foot man, and there is no sense of disobedience in acting coquettishly - he looks like a veteran at first glance.
But the four senior sisters still like this.
Sure enough, appearance is justice.
Concubine Lan Fei guessed that her brother was at fault first, and pulled Lan Feiyu to apologize to Mu Gui again.
Venerable Huiwen, who has always cherished words like gold, also came forward to persuade him to make peace.
So Senior Sister Fengliu pinched Ying Mugui's face, and coaxed: "I see, I am playing with you, our young master is the most generous, isn't it?"
"Okay." Ying Mugui looked aggrieved but regrettably suppressed tears, unfolded his fan, and cast a warning glance at Lan Feiyu, "I only forgive you for the sake of senior sister. "
Blue Jade: "..."
Ying Mugui's unforgiving attitude made him a little annoyed, but it was Concubine Lan Fei who grabbed his sleeve and pulled him aside.
He whispered: "Brother, have you forgotten what your grandfather said?"
Lan Jade was startled and realized.
The grandfather said that he loves to be serious, doesn't know how to restrain his emotions, is not smooth enough, and easily offends others; his sister is too simple and easily trusts others; that's why they let the siblings come to learn and experience in the water side.
And when I was arguing just now, I wanted to win the other party, and it was really inappropriate to say anything.Now that I have learned a lesson, although I am extremely unconvinced, I can't blame others.
Grandpa was right, his character really needed to be honed.
After all, in the Blue Moon Mirage, he had never seen such a brazen person as Ying Mugui.
A dispute ended with Ying Mugui's victory, but Fang Lijin still punished him and Lan Feiyu in the name of "disturbing the class".
The punishment was not severe, and they were asked to go to Wanjuan Pavilion after school to sort out the books related to elixir and compile them into a catalog for the convenience of students to borrow.
Wanjuan Pavilion is a library on the water side, and there is also a management office to take care of it.
The scrolls inside are also categorized and stored according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, so they will not be messed up under normal circumstances.
Therefore, the task of Ying Mugui and Lan Feiyu is to copy all the bibliographic names related to the pills.
But this task is not small, so after school, the two went to Wanjuan Pavilion.
Because she was being punished, Concubine Lan Fei and the four senior sisters Fengliu, Huatang, Xueying, and Yueyi couldn't help.
Cheng Jieyu looked at the backs of the two awkwardly leaving together, then turned to look for Fang Lijin.
"Teacher."
"What's wrong?" Fang Lijin had always been gentle to him, and her voice was three points softer than usual.
"I..." Cheng Jieyu put his hands behind his back and picked at his fingers, "I want to know, how did Master Yunxiao's eyes... get hurt?"
He wasn't sure if he could ask, and blinked his eyelashes uneasily, but the concern in his eyes was clear.
Fang Lijin smiled slightly when he heard his question, with a trace of relief in his tone, "I'm still thinking, when will you ask."
"Ah..." Cheng Jieyu lowered his head and pouted, "Actually, I was curious before, but I didn't dare to ask."
"There's nothing you dare not ask." Fang Lijin said, "Even if you ask your uncle directly, he will tell you."
"I... I'm afraid that my uncle will feel uncomfortable when I recall it..." Cheng Jieyu looked at the other party, "Can my mother tell me?"
Fang Lijin's expression was moved, and a gleam of water flashed in his eyes, "You have a heart."
She sighed, "As you all know, Junior Brother Yunxiao lost his sight after the battle against demons."
Cheng Jieyu nodded, it seems that the truth is similar to the rumors.
But why did he feel that what the teacher's wife said was a bit vague, and there seemed to be other secrets?
In the updated [-] words of "Refining Demons", there are not many descriptions of the battle against demons, only a few sentences are mentioned as background.
But the original owner has some understanding of the background of this world in his memory. The battle to suppress the demons 20 years ago was caused by the loosening of the demon-seal formation set up by the prince of the heavens thousands of years ago and the riot of demon energy.
The Taoist history class during this period happened to start with the prince of the heavens descending to seal the demons.
Thousands of years ago, the ancient gods fought against the demons. The demons were defeated and fled to the human world, mutilating the living beings and causing disaster to the world.
The emperor of heaven ordered the prince to lead the gods to the human world to suppress the demons, and set up a large formation to seal the demons in the extreme north, sealing the demons.The sky fire in the formation is not extinguished, so it is called "Purgatory of Demon Sealing".
At the same time, the prince of heaven discovered that in order to resist the demons, the human race realized the method of the movement of spiritual energy and entered the way of cultivating immortality;
Therefore, the prince was grateful for the firm belief of the human race in resisting the demons, and helped human cultivators establish Fuyun Jiuxiao Sect in Jiuxiao Chong'a, and opened a ladder to heaven for human cultivators at the highest peak, Jiuxiao Peak.
Under Jiuxiao Chong'a, a Xiuxian College was established on the banks of Linghe Luoshui, that is, "on the side of the water".
Later, the ancestor of the Fuyun Nine Heavens Sect even stepped on the immortal ladder and went to the heaven together with the prince from the heaven realm.
This is the origin of the history of monasticism in this world.
Therefore, when the Great Demon Sealing Formation was loosened 20 years ago, it was the Fuyun Nine Heavens Sect who summoned powerful cultivators from all sects to repair the seal and successfully defended the Great Formation.
Although the demon didn't appear at all at that time, one can imagine the danger just by seeing that Sheng Yunxiao not only lost a pair of eyes in this "battle", but also nearly ruined his cultivation first.
"But...why is it only the uncle who is injured so badly?"
This is what Cheng Jieyu has never understood.
All the powerful figures from all sects and sects participated in it, so why was Sheng Yunxiao the only one who suffered such a serious injury?
Fang Lijin looked at him, his eyes gradually turned red, and his voice gradually trembled, "Because, at that time, your uncle... was protecting the... eyes of the Demon Sealing Formation."
"Why?" Cheng Jieyu became more and more puzzled, "Uncle Shi... was only in his twenties at the time."
There are many great talents in each sect and faction, and there are many people from the generation of the original master's uncle who are still alive. Why is it that Sheng Yunxiao undertakes such a difficult task?
"Because..." Fang Lijin's eyes were completely red, she looked at Cheng Jieyu, her voice choked up, "Because he had a reason to go."
What is a "reason to have to go"?
responsibility?mission?Or... fate?
Cheng Jieyu suddenly thought of the day when he begged his uncle to keep the snow tea. His uncle once said that the fate of snow tea is to become a Chinese meal. He refuted his uncle at that time, and his uncle suddenly became unhappy.
Maybe he wasn't unhappy at the time, but thinking of the past... sad?
"Why...why is it the uncle?" Cheng Jieyu's nose was sore, feeling aggrieved for the uncle.
Fang Lijin choked up for a moment, "We also had the same question: why? Why..."
She choked up, looked at Cheng Jieyu with tears in her eyes, and used the same words to summarize the reason, "Maybe, this is fate."
Cheng Jieyu was silent, pinching his fingers tightly with his hands behind his back.
After a while, he changed the question, "Then the uncle's eyes were burned by the devil energy?"
"That's not the case." Fang Lijin took a deep breath, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped away his tears, "Junior Brother Yunxiao's eyes are actually not injured."
"No trauma?"
"Yes," Fang Lijin's voice was a little unsteady again, "He was bleeding and tearing at the time, but there was no external injury, and he couldn't see at all after he woke up from a coma."
"Not only can't see, but also photophobia. When Sheng Guang shines on him, his eyes are stinging and red. He can't stay outside with his eyes open in the scorching sun like today."
"So the uncle has been blindfolded?"
Fang Lijin nodded.
Cheng Jieyu clenched his hand again, remembering that he asked his uncle why he was blindfolded earlier, he wished he could go back to that moment and slap himself.
"But..." He had a new question, "Uncle Shi is blind, but can he still perceive light?"
As a layman in modern medicine, he also knows that the eye is a complex organ, and direct eyeball damage is not the only cause of blindness.
Optic nerve problems, or even cerebrovascular problems, can lead to blindness.
But if you are totally blind, can you still perceive the glare of light?
"Isn't uncle completely blind?"
Fang Lijin shook his head, "He is totally blind, but he is indeed afraid of light. At the beginning, he couldn't even see the light of a candle."
"Elder Huarong from Luoxuefei Flower Valley and I have given him a diagnosis and treatment, guessing that his blindness is probably—"
Fang Lijin looked at Cheng Jieyu firmly, "There is a demon in my heart."
"Is there a demonic obstacle in the heart?" Cheng Jieyu is not very unfamiliar with this saying in the world of cultivating immortals. Isn't it "mental blindness" when translated into modern terms?
But isn't this a common routine in TV dramas?
There is no problem with the organs, but there is a problem with the mind, that is, it cannot be seen.
Mostly it's a vulgar plot of gore and blood.
But in the realm of cultivating immortals, the heart demon really exists.
"You mean, the uncle has a demon in his heart?"
However, Fang Lijin shook his head at Cheng Jieyu, showing a smile with red eyes, "I can't say now, I can't say... Your uncle will be fine someday."
Cheng Jieyu thought so too, Sheng Yunxiao's crippled cultivation could be repaired back, maybe even a mere demon could be overcome.
"That means, the uncle's eyes can be restored?" His eyes were hot, excited for the uncle.
"En." Fang Lijin patted his head, "If you have any questions, please ask your uncle, he will tell you."
Cheng Jieyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After bidding farewell to Fang Lijin, he still didn't intend to ask Sheng Yunxiao.
He basically already knew the information he wanted to know, and he had to wait for him to get a little more familiar with his uncle before he had the nerve to ask about the deeper things.
Otherwise, he feels he has no position to pry too deeply.
I am even more afraid that I will accidentally poke my uncle's sore spot again and make my uncle sad.
He can only obtain some information through other means.
The Dao History class has not yet talked about the battle against demons 20 years ago, Cheng Jieyu decided to go to the Wanjuan Pavilion to find the Dao history books by himself.
In particular, how dangerous is the demon-sealing purgatory that never goes out, so that the uncle can be hurt like this?
Wanjuan Pavilion is opposite to Wuweitang. It is a nine-story tower at the other end of the school grounds and classrooms.
After Cheng Jieyu arrived, the Tsing Yi disciple who greeted him at the door gave him a blueprint, which indicated what kind of books were stored in each area of each floor.
The Taoist history book he was looking for was on the first floor, while the medicine refining book that Ying Mugui and Lan Feiyu wanted to sort out was on the sixth floor.
Cheng Jieyu ignored them for the time being, and went to find the book he wanted according to the blueprint.
It's a pity that he searched for half an hour, and found that the records of the battle against demons in these books were not detailed enough, and he did not find any effective information related to the uncle.
Putting down the book in his hand, Cheng Jieyu rubbed his dry eyes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure appearing beside him from the corner of his eye, and was almost startled.
I saw an old man with a long beard, dressed in a white plain robe, with gray temples, but he was full of vigor, and he did not look old at all.
Cheng Jieyu caught a glimpse of the Nine Heavens Sect's exclusive communication jade tablet hanging on the waist of the other party, and guessed that it should be a senior expert in the door, no wonder he walked silently.
He gave a disciple salute to the old man, "I have met you, senior."
The other party held a book in his hand, handed it to Cheng Jieyu and said, "This should be the book you are looking for."
Cheng Jieyu took the book with both hands, and lowered his head to see the title of the book - "Biography of Zhenmo Biography: Farewell to the Nine Heavens and Two Bibi".
Cheng Jieyu: "???"
senior!Are you sure this is not a fanbook? !
