Chapter 234 The Dead Are Gone, the Living Are Sad
Outside the house, there were continuous screams, howling sounds, and the roar of magic.
Han Yang didn't know why it turned out like this. Everything was peaceful and quiet just a moment ago, but in a flash, the entire sect turned into an endless hell. It was just a door, but it made him sweat.
But even so, he still tightly protected the child in his arms.
No matter how chaotic the world was outside, the child always slept soundly, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her.
In the time of chaos, the Grand Master entrusted Xiao Lingxiang to him, and he must not let her come to any harm!
His chest was beating like a drum, but Han Yang tried hard to control his breath, as if he was afraid that his heavy breathing would attract monsters outside, or as if he was afraid that his fear would disturb the little person in his arms.
However, just as Han Yang was staring at the door with red eyes, the door suddenly opened with a "bang"!
Han Yang was shocked and didn't care that he was still huddled in the corner, let alone whether he would disturb Lingxiang who was sleeping soundly. Despite his low level of cultivation, he still used all his knowledge and cast all kinds of spells towards the door.
However, he was just a child after all, and the man easily broke those dense spells with just a wave of his hand.
At this moment of chaos, the person at the door suddenly spoke, and immediately calmed Han Yang down.
"Han Yang! Calm down! It's me!"
It’s the fairy Tumi.
"Grand...Grand Master's Wife..." Tears welled up in Han Yang's eyes and he looked at Tumi with sobs.
Fairy Tumi felt very distressed when she saw this. The boy in front of her was only seven years old, but he had to go through such a cruel thing...
"Don't be afraid, child. Everything will be over soon." Fairy Tumi comforted Han Yang while reaching out to take the Lingxiang from his arms.
But Han Yang held the sleeping Xiao Lingxiang tightly and refused to let go no matter what.
Fairy Tumi was helpless. She could see the fear in Han Yang's eyes, but there was also a hint of stubbornness in that fear. But now that life and death were at stake, there was no time to explain to the child!
"If you still want to save Yuanqing, give me the incense!" Tumi shouted loudly as she had no choice.
Han Yang was stunned by the roar. In his impression, the Grand Master's wife always spoke in a gentle and soft voice and had never been so fierce to anyone.
Looking at the anxious Fairy Tumi, Han Yang hesitated and was stunned. But Tumi could not wait for him to come back to his senses, and at the moment Han Yang hesitated, she pulled Lingxiang, who was still sleeping in his arms, to him.
Little Lingxiang seemed very unhappy about having her sweet dream disturbed. She pursed her lips and was about to cry. Fairy Tumi felt very distressed when she saw this, but still pressed Lingxiang down on the armchair beside her.
Then Fairy Tumi put one finger on Xiao Lingxiang's Shenting acupoint and hesitated for a long time. Then she seemed to have made up her mind, closed her eyes, raised her other hand, and twisted her fingers to make gestures.
I saw a flash of spiritual light between the two fingers of Fairy Tumi, and a spiritual thread floated out, searching in the air for a long time before they connected with each other.
The spiritual silk was like a silkworm or a spider, flowing and gurgling, like a dream. Han Yang didn't know what Fairy Tumi was doing, but Lingxiang looked very painful, with a wrinkled face and twisted body, but she couldn't break free.
"Mother..." Xiao Lingxiang cried, "Mother...it hurts..."
Hearing Lingxiang's crying, Tumi felt heartbroken, but she still closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to stop.
"Grandmother!" Han Yang didn't know what to do for a moment. He didn't know what this Grandmother was doing, but Lingxiang's crying made him anxious. He struggled to get up and wanted to stop her.
At this moment, the middle of the spiritual silk suddenly exploded like a firecracker, and the burst of airflow bounced Fairy Tumi and Han Yang away. The room was suddenly in chaos, with the sound of broken porcelain colliding one after another.
"My son! My son!" Fairy Tumi ignored the blood pouring from her forehead and the sharp broken porcelain on the ground. She quickly got up and crawled towards Lingxiang, hugging little Lingxiang and started crying!
Looking at the Tumei Fairy who was covered in blood and tears, Han Yang didn't understand what had happened. But she saw Xiao Lingxiang's face drooping and motionless, with a look of shock on her face.
He walked forward woodenly and took the soft little hand, but that hand no longer shook his hand back as firmly as before.
The Grand Master's wife killed Lingxiang?!
"Grandmother..." Han Yang spoke hoarsely with red eyes: "Lingxiang she... Lingxiang she..."
He really couldn't believe what he saw, but Lingxiang's lifeless little face made him believe it.
Fairy Tumi suddenly came back to her senses, and trying hard to suppress her grief, she wiped the bloodied corners of her eyes and said calmly:
"It's okay... She'll be fine..."
Fairy Tumi pressed one finger on Lingxiang's Baihui acupoint, twisted her fingers and made a gesture, and streams of spiritual energy poured into Lingxiang's body from between her fingers.
Han Yang was shocked when he saw this. Fairy Tumi was passing on her own cultivation to Lingxiang! But Lingxiang was already...
Even if Lingxiang was still alive, at her young age, how could she withstand the cultivation level of Fairy Tumi?
"Grandmother!" Han Yang wanted to speak out to stop her, but Fairy Tumi just looked at him and shook her head. The tears and blood on her face made it difficult for Han Yang to respond.
Fairy Tumi naturally knew that Lingxiang could not bear it, but if she wanted to save her child, this was the only way! However...
Her child! From now on, he will have no chance to practice cultivation!
Fairy Tumei was heartbroken, but she had to do it.
So what if she can't practice? Even if she blames her or hates her in the future, as long as she can bring this child back to life, even for just a short life, it will be enough!
After a moment, Fairy Tumi withdrew her finger gestures and took out a pill from her bosom. Han Yang only had time to smell a fragrance, and before he could see clearly, the pill was stuffed into Xiao Lingxiang's mouth.
Then, Fairy Tumi used her fingers to urge the elixir to circulate in Xiao Lingxiang's body, while pinching Lingxiang's pulse. After the elixir and Lingxiang merged, Fairy Tumi performed complicated hand gestures. Han Yang had never seen such a technique before, but he could see a colorful light flowing from Tumi's fingers into Lingxiang's body, like a gurgling spring.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the door.
"No!"
Han Yang turned around and saw that it was the head master.
However, the Grand Tutor now had disheveled hair and lacked his former elegance. Han Yang always felt that the Grand Tutor in front of him gave him a very weird feeling, but he couldn't tell what was so weird about it.
But that face was clearly that of the once high-spirited Master Yuan Qing!
But for some reason, the master could not get close to him, as if an invisible formation was isolating him, and no matter how he shouted or knocked, it was of no use.
Just when Han Yang didn't know what was going on, Fairy Tumi suddenly spoke, but her voice sounded very weak.
"Han Yang... from now on... I must take good care of Ling Xiang for Grandmother..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fairy Tumi fell backwards. Before Han Yang could come to his senses, he was bounced away by a gust of wind and hit the cabinet behind him.
The collision made Han Yang see stars and feel dizzy. When he came to his senses, he and Xiao Lingxiang were the only ones left in the room.
At this time, Lingxiang's face was rosy, her round belly was heaving up and down, and she was sobbing and mumbling, as if she was having a nightmare.
However, there was no sign of the headmaster and Fairy Tumei in the house, as if they had never been there. Only a mess was left. At the same time, the outside of the house also became quiet, and the horrifying roars and miserable howls could no longer be heard.
Bursts of birds chirping came from outside the house, as if nothing had ever happened, and as if announcing the end of the disaster.
……
Although Lingxiang didn't say anything after meeting Fairy Yao Ji, Long Qi could see that she was depressed.
In the past, Lingxiang was always sincere no matter what happened or how she behaved, just like the warm sun in winter or the spring breeze on your face.
But now...
Looking at the lonely figure sitting alone on the edge of the cliff, Long Qi felt that she would never again be the Lingxiang who laughed, scolded and indulged in human nature.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so depressed?" Long Qi sat down next to Lingxiang.
Lingxiang was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about. She was not prepared for Long Qi's sudden appearance and she pretended to rub her nose to hide the tears on her face.
"I was just looking at the clouds. Yunzhongjun really lives up to his reputation. He was able to arrange the sunless and moonless Yunmeng so exquisitely."
Long Qi naturally noticed that Lingxiang was crying, and her butterfly-wing eyelashes were shining with crystal, but since she didn't want him to know, he didn't say it out loud.
He and Lingxiang looked at the ever-changing seven-colored clouds in the "sky", and his heart ached - he had never seen Lingxiang shed tears.
What on earth could have happened to make Lingxiang, who was always so unscrupulous and aggressive, so sad?
Long Qi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of anything. He just stretched out his hand and hugged Lingxiang.
If it were any other day, Lingxiang would definitely push Long Qi away and start to fight him, but now she let Long Qi hug her like this, like a docile rabbit.
After a long time, Lingxiang finally spoke.
"If someone who is very important to you dies, and you can save her, but she has to sacrifice her life in exchange, will you do it?"
Hearing this, Long Qi suddenly helped Ling Xiang up and looked her up and down in panic: "What's wrong with you? Why do you say that?"
Seeing the nervous Long Qi, Ling Xiang quickly smiled and comforted him: "I'm fine, I was just making a metaphor."
Long Qi looked at Ling Xiang suspiciously for a long time. Seeing that she looked calm, he said seriously, "I will never let you fall into such danger. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect you."
The determination in those eyes moved Lingxiang.
After a long time, Lingxiang smiled and shook her head again, leaning gently on Long Qi's shoulder.
"You see, we've experienced so many dangers along the way, so I'm just speaking from my heart. You don't have to be like this." Lingxiang said with a sigh.
"But if that day really comes, you must never do such a thing. After all..."
"After all, if I am left alone, all that will be left with me is loneliness..."
Sadness never belongs to the dead, but to those who are still alive...
After hearing what Ling Xiang said, Long Qi did not respond, but he secretly made up his mind -
"I will never let that happen!"
Definitely not!
