Chapter 155(1/2)
The rain in the small cave sky was getting heavier and heavier, and a layer of white mist appeared under the continuous raindrops. In the heavy rain, the channel of the star stone was open, and Wang Muye's figure suddenly jumped into the channel and disappeared.
The monks put down what was in their hands and rushed into the passage. Wen Qiong ran the fastest. When the other monks didn't react, she had already rushed to the cave where the eyes of the formation were.
When Du Heng's spiritual sense came out of the stone chamber, the disciples of Tianyi Sect were blushing: "It's all our fault that we opened the barrier. We didn't expect the sect leader... Wang Muye would escape." It's just that Wang Muye was so peaceful before, and everyone didn't expect him to come here.
Ji Qingyan comforted: "Now is not the time to hold him accountable. Let's talk about what to do when you catch him."
The monks set out towards the passage, and Du Heng turned to look at Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, let's go and have a look too. I'm afraid that Master is not Wang Muye's opponent." Wen Qiong is in the middle stage of out-of-body cultivation. Everyone is saying that Wang Muye is in the late stage of out-of-body cultivation. Wen Qiong, who is in the middle stage of out-of-body cultivation, should not suffer any loss.
Xuan Yu packed up all the wontons on the stove and put them in the refrigerator. He said calmly: "Okay, let's go."
The sun was shining brightly in the cave where the eye of the formation was located. As soon as Du Heng and the others entered, they felt a wave of heat coming towards them. Du Heng looked around and said, "Where are my master and the others?"
Just after a few breaths, Wen Qiong and the others could not see them. The monks entering behind were flying around in the sky like headless flies: "Where is the person?" "Oh no, I'm lost."
Will Wang Muye find a place to hide? If so, it will be difficult to find him. However, Xuan Yu said confidently: "Wang Muye has been near the array eye before, and I think he is there now."
Hearing Xuan Yu's analysis, Ye Wenqiu and the others also felt that it made sense. At the moment, a group of people were heading towards the direction of the array eye. When they arrived at the array eye, they really saw Wang Muye standing on the array eye.
However, the array eye was different from what Du Heng saw before. The array eye was on the crater and the formation was floating on the magma. Now, the magma was gushing out, and the scorching magma erupted three meters high on the ground. The viscous and scorching magma reached the highest point but it strangely solidified.
Wang Muye stood above the magma, on the magma condensation layer with a diameter of less than ten feet, standing opposite Wen Qiong.
Wen Qiong's face was calm: "Master Wang, calm down. Let's go back and talk about anything." Wang Muye's hair was scattered, his eyes were crazy and twisted, but there was still a gentle smile on his face: "Master Wen, it's time for this, I don't think there is anything to say."
Wang Muye chuckled and said, "What are you talking about right? But how did you do it? Keep me in the stone chamber and let me slaughter like fish."
Wen Qiong said innocently: "Master Wang, if you say this, it would be too unfair to others. Lao Ye and I asked you repeatedly if you have any difficulties. Master Ji was worried about your affairs. He went in several times and wanted to talk to you, but you avoided talking." Don't talk, you didn't even say a word to Ji Qingyan. Now Wang Muye actually said that everyone slaughtered him, where did you start?
Wang Muye smiled and said, "Do you know? Before you came, I was hesitating. I was wondering, I could say a few words in a fight between our colleagues. Do you really have to open the Demon Demon Array and catch you all in one go? Do you really have to listen to the monks of the Demon Clan who killed the cultivators? I stood at the eye of the formation and thought for several days, but I couldn't make up my mind. Until the Hun Dzi bead was taken away, I never wanted to leave a thread anymore."
Wen Qiong narrowed his eyes in trouble: "Master Wang, what you said is wrong. Huntianzhu is originally a thing of the demon clan. Fairy Jinghong is not because you stole Huntianzhu. Now there is nothing wrong with the original owner."
Wang Muye took out his Bagua Plate from his sleeve, and the copper beads in the Bagua Plate were rotating wildly. He lowered his eyes and looked at his Bagua Plate with his eyes fixedly: "Master Wen, I don't think so. I feel that what I have in my hands belongs to me. If others take it away from me, I can't stand it."
Wen Qiong sighed with a headache: "So you are like this... it's a bit difficult to deal with."
Wang Muye looked up and down at Wen Qiong: "Master Wen, everyone says that you have a solid cultivation level. But there is still a certain gap between you and me, and I don't want to hurt you. If you leave now, there may be a glimmer of hope. If you continue to stand on this formation, once the formation is activated, your life will be gone."
Wen Qiong looked helpless: "Zhengzhu Wang, although we have had a few dealings, I believe you..."
As he finished speaking, the beads in the Bagua Formation in Wang Muye's hand finally stopped. A circle of uniform inspiration appeared under Wen Qiong's feet, and the inspiration trapped Wen Qiong like a cage. Wen Qiong's limbs were controlled by the inspiration as thick as an arm, and she was unable to move like a puppet.
Wang Muye said slowly: "I told you a long time ago that there is still a glimmer of hope to leave now. It is still difficult for me to escape with your current cultivation level." Wen Qiong blushed, and blue veins burst out on her arms: "I...grass..."
Wang Muye said: "I heard that Master Wen has tempered his body like a copper wall and iron wall. Wang is good at formations and dare not fight against Master Wen head-on. He can only use this method to trap you. Just so happens that this formation lacks a sacrifice. I have been thinking of who will be the sacrifice before, and now I will trouble Master Wen."
Wen Qiong gritted her teeth and said, "You wait..." Wait until Wen Qiong breaks out of the cage and see how she dealt with this turtle grandson.
Wang Muye looked at the sky with a smile: "They are here, it just so happens that I have something to say to them."
While talking, Ji Qingyan and the others finally arrived. Wang Muye looked around and his eyes were nailed to Ji Qingyan. He smiled gently at Ji Qingyan: "Brother Ji."
Ji Qingyan frowned slightly, and he said, "Brother Wang, what are you doing? What are you talking about?"
Wang Muye's brows stretched out, his expression was very gentle, just like he was chatting with Ji Qingchang on weekdays: "Brother Ji, are you here too? I didn't expect that when we entered the ruins, we still made friends, but now we are separated from each other."
Ji Qingyan said firmly: "You have always been my friend, and this has never changed."
After hearing this, Wang Muye's smile became bitter. He shook his head: "Friend? No, you are someone I can't match even when I chase you. Actually, you see illusions, you don't actually understand me. There is something I want to tell you, I have always envied you. Sometimes I envy you so much that a sound will arise in my heart, and that voice said to me: Forget it, what are you? If he knew the real you, he would spit on you and hate you, and would never talk with you at night. When I am with you, I feel ashamed of myself all the time."
Ji Qingyan wondered: "Why?"
Wang Muye said: "How dare Chen Tu be brothers and brothers with Bai Xue? Your family is innocent and noble in character. Your sect is united and friendly. You are spoiled by your master and fellow disciples. You don't have to worry about anything except practice. But I am different. Since I was born, I have been as humble as weeds."
Du Heng and Xiaoyu and the others were mixed in the middle of human cultivation. He wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Xuan Yu: "Don't get closer. The formation under him is forming." Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong nervously: "But Master..."
Xuan Yu said: "Don't underestimate your master."
Ji Qingyan said calmly: "You are no different from me." Wang Muye shook his head: "No, I am far from you. Speaking of which, I have never told you my past. Well, the formation has been activated by me. Anyway, everyone can't escape. Why not listen to me?"
Wang Muye said: "I was born in a poor family. I am the eldest son and I have five younger siblings. My parents farmed, but the land of my hometown is not good. There is no spiritual energy. The spiritual rice grown is sparse. Not to mention eating, even the annual taxes require parents to hunt and chop wood to collect them. My first feeling for the world is hungry, and the second feeling is cold, but if you say the deepest feeling is poverty."
Wang Muye still had a smile on his lips, his voice was as calm as ever, but there was a deep sorrow in his tone: "Because of poverty, I had never had a full meal before I was eight years old, and my younger brother and sister had a pale face and thin skin. As long as I could earn an extra coin, I would do anything. I followed my father to hunt on the mountain and chop wood with my mother. The mountain next to the village was so high that it seemed that I would never end.
"Later, the monks from Tianyi Sect came to the village to collect traits. My father and mother discussed it and went there. Being traits of money is very profitable, and you can get two taels of silver in a month. This is an astronomical figure for us who can only earn two taels of silver in a year."
Du Heng heard Wang Muye talk about this. At that time, he and Wang Muye were trapped in a small cave heaven where spiritual energy could not be used. Thanks to Wang Muye, he could come out of that cave heaven.
Wang Muye said, "Dad went, but after a few days, he was gnawed by the spirit beast of Tianyi Sect. He was gone without waiting for anyone to save him." When he said this, Wang Muye's eyes were full of deep hatred: "One person and one life... Tianyi Sect paid twenty taels of silver, but the silver was in our hands, only five taels of silver were left."
Du Heng's heart tightened. This was the follow-up that Wang Muye did not tell him. At that time, he only said that his father broke his leg and he went to Tianyi Sect for his father...
Wang Muye said: "Those who were in charge of the outside world have to swallow the money from the dead. How long can a family like ours last? After my father disappeared, my mother could not raise six of our brothers and sisters alone, and she fell ill. The five taels of silver were gone without a year. My younger brother and sister had to eat and drink, and my mother had to see a doctor. I had no choice but to sell the best sister I raised...."
Everyone frowned when they heard this, but Wang Muye was very calm: "Do you look down on me very much? I sold my blood relatives with my own hands, and more than one sold. My sister sold it for 800 cents, and I spent one cent to buy five cakes. I gave her a cake and told her that when the cake was finished, my brother would take her home. She was still gnawing on the cake when she was taken away by someone. However, I knew that this was the last time I met her. I didn't have the ability to buy her back.
"I sold my little sister, but my mother's illness couldn't be cured. I continued to sell my second sister, fourth sister... When I sold my fourth sister and I got back from taking medicine, my mother was hung. I was left with me and two younger brothers. I felt that... it would never dawn again."
Ji Qingyan said ashamedly: "You have never said this to me."
Wang Muye smiled and shook his head: "What's the use of saying it? Will it be sympathy? No one will sympathize with someone who sold his family. After my mother died, I looked at my two hungry brothers. With my ability, I couldn't support them even if I eat braised vegetables. I simply sold them all and found a good family, so they could survive. Then I went to Tianyi Sect with the money I sold my brothers, and I sold myself too.
"The Tianyi Sect and I signed a dead contract, the lowest-level servile servant, and I could only eat a full meal in it. However, even so, I was still grateful, at least I survived. It was just that this was the beginning of a nightmare. I was small and other servile servants bullied me helplessly. During those years when Tianyi Sect was a servile servant, I lived like a wild dog. I had endless work every day, and only when the night was quiet, I could have a moment of leisure.
"If it were just like that, I wouldn't have any ideas. Who would have thought that when I was fourteen years old, I would accidentally find myself having spiritual roots. Of course, that was the lowest three spiritual roots. But because of this, I went from the lowest servile servant to an outer disciple. Those servile servants who had bullied dared to bully me again. At that moment, I realized that it was so comfortable to stand in a high position, and it turned out that I could also go from a lowly slave to a real person.
"However, I only enjoyed the pursuit for a few days, and then I was ruthlessly knocked to the abyss. The Three Spirit Roots have no future. The world of cultivation is more cruel than the world of ordinary people. People in the world of cultivation are destined to be in different ways from birth. I lived a life of bullying by my companions, and it became even worse, more serious than before.
"My resources are constantly being exploited by my fellow disciples, and the only thing that others don't want in my hands is left. They laughed at me and hit me unscrupulously. At that time, I was in pain and confused. Fortunately, I had a fellow disciple who was good to me and I could open my heart to him.
"I slowly reached the third level of Qi training. At that time, I was already twenty-eight years old and no longer young. One day, the elders of the sect celebrated their birthday, and each of us got a Qi training pill. I thought to use this Qi training pill to improve my cultivation, but I didn't expect that when I arrived at the base, my Qi training pill disappeared. Yes, my Qi training pill was stolen by my fellow disciples. He said, anyway, my cultivation pill is not good, so I don't have to waste this pill, so I might as well give it to him.
"I can give it to him, but he can't ask for it. During the dispute, I was beaten by him, and he said a lot of excessive things. It turned out that the things my fellow disciples used to ridicule me were all spread by him. He said that he just saw that I was pitiful and had sex with me. I was angry and took advantage of his unpreparedness and sneaked into him.
"After my fellow disciple died, I was panicked for a while, but when I calmed down, I understood. The strength of the cultivation world is great, and only those with strong fists have the right to speak. I swallowed the Qi training pill and Foundation Building Pill he saved, and passed the Foundation Building Period.
"As I thought, because I built the foundation, the dispute between me and my fellow disciples became irrelevant. I also became a disciple and was appreciated by the elders. Is it ridiculous? I killed someone, but because I built the foundation, no one will pursue the fact that I killed someone.
"Later, by chance, I got the elixir that could cleanse the marrow and successfully formed the elixir. My master unexpectedly became the head of Tianyi Sect, and I changed from an ordinary disciple to a head master. Because I could pretend to be patient, my master took me to some sects, and I made friends with some real cultivators of Qingfeng Mingyue. Brother Ji, I met you at that time."
Ji Qingyan nodded: "Yes."
Wang Muye smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I could forget everything and start over, but fate played a big joke on me. My master, Zhenren Yu Lang, is actually a bad leader. Under his leadership, Tianyi Sect gradually declined. I am the most capable disciple in his hands. However, even so, he still wants to pass the position of leader to my senior brother. I asked him why, is it because my cultivation is not as good as my senior brother, or is it because my ability is not as good as my senior brother? Guess what Master said about me? Master said that my tiger and wolf mind is not right.
"I am very sad when I worked hard for Tianyi Sect for hundreds of years, what I got was such an evaluation."
Ji Qingyan said: "You didn't tell me these either."
Wang Muye said seriously: "Even if you tell you, it is useless, you can't understand. You have been smooth sailing from the beginning of your practice. Your master is even willing to give up the position of the head to you. How can you understand my embarrassment like this? What's more, you are practicing the ruthless Tao. Even if I tell you, you will only tell me that you don't have to take these things outside of your body to heart."
Ji Qingyan said honestly: "Yes, this is indeed what I can say."
Wang Muye smiled self-deprecatingly: "Look, Brother Ji, this is the difference between me and you. The things you look down on are things that I can't get even if I try my best. I obviously rot from my bones, but I have become friends with you, who is so breeze and bright moon. I tried to tell myself that when I am with you, I will become a person like you. However, I was wrong. No matter how long I stay with you, I have always been the bastard who sold my brother and sister to death and forced my mother to stab my fellow disciples to death. What dreams are I having? I actually feel that my conscience is still gone, and I still think that as long as I do things well, someone will see me and understand me one day."
Ji Qingyan pondered for a moment, and he said, "When I knew you, you were a gentle, diligent and self-disciplined monk. Until now, I still think so."
Wang Muye showed a smile that seemed to be crying when he heard this: "Thank you, Brother Ji, you are really the most calm and amazing person I know. Even though you know that I have taken your opportunity, you can still treat me like this."
Ji Qingyan wondered: "What opportunity?"
Wang Muye was stunned for a moment: "Don't you know? They didn't tell you?"
Ye Wenqiu looked gloomy: "Master Wang, say another word, don't blame me for not taking into account the friendship of the sect." Wang Muye laughed: "So you don't know, then forget it, I won't say it anymore. Even if you don't have that opportunity, you can ascend. It's not good for you."
Ji Qingyan looked at Ye Wenqiu in confusion: "Master, what is the Sect Master Wang talking about?"
Ye Wenqiu took the long sword into the scabbard: "It's nothing, just listen to him."
After laughing, Wang Muye said, "Later, I got the opportunity to improve my cultivation level by leaps and bounds. After returning to the sect, I tried to kill my senior brother and master. This is how I am the master of the Tianyi Sect. Brother Ji, do you still think I am worthy of being with me after hearing this?"
Ji Qingyan was silent for a moment, and he said honestly: "I only see that Tianyi Sect is getting better and better in your hands. If your senior brother takes over, it may not be so good."
Wang Muye smiled, his smile was sad and desperate: "Brother Ji, you really look down on me too much. If I had heard you say this earlier, I would not have opened the passage. It would have been too late to say anything now."
Wang Muye sighed: "I am a cruel person and cannot be cruel, and I am not good at it. I am obviously a bad life, but I always don't accept it and want to fight. But if I fight, I can't accept the bleak reality."
At this time, the sound of cracking came from the platform formed by the magma. Everyone looked at the platform. The ground seemed calm and there was no trace of cracking. However, Wang Muye's face changed drastically: "Not good!"
After saying this, Wen Qiong, who was trapped by the formation opposite him, finally broke the cage set up by Wang Muye for her. The golden spiritual light broke like metal. Wen Qiong blushed, and the five-color spiritual light flowed around her: "Ah——"
After a loud bang, Wen Qiong instantly passed through most of the platform, and she punched Wang Muye's belly: "I'm talking nonsense until now! Are you upset?"
Wang Muye's body was beaten away with a punch, but before he could fly too far, Wen Qiong grabbed his ankle.
It appeared! The most terrifying way of Master Wen's sect was lifting his feet to the ground. Wang Muye couldn't react. His body had been smashed dozens of times by Wen Qiong on the ground. Every time he hit, his bones and meridians broke.
Blood splattered everywhere on the platform. Wen Qiong held Wang Muye's ankle like a chicken. Although he was not tall, he made people tremble all over. Within a few strokes, the platform below the two was smashed by Wen Qiong, and the solidified magma stone fell down.
However, the magma stones did not return to the crater. They piled up on the ground to form a pile of gravel. Even so, Wen Qiong did not let Wang Muye go. She caught Wang Muye and made a set of punches. Before Wang Muye could even settle his gossip plate, he was left to breathe and no longer see the air intake.
Wen Qiong's fighting style was brutal and violent, but it made the monks present excited. He was worthy of being the leader of Sect. Even if he was five feet tall, he was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
Wen Qiong angrily threw Wang Muye on the ground: "I said to you, I'm so pitiful that I'm talking for a long time, but to me, you're just a waste that can only seize the fortune and not work hard to practice. You don't even look down on the three spirit roots? Isn't my mother's five spirit roots! Isn't my parents still alone yet?! Isn't my cultivation level that I'm not stealing or robbing openly and honestly through my own hard work, worse than yours?"
Du Heng was shocked. His master was so handsome!
He Jianing whispered beside him: "Master is right. Master is not as good as Master Wang. Her spiritual roots are the lowest-class five spirit roots. She is an orphan. She was wandering when she was young, and many sects didn't want her. Later, a casual cultivator saw that she had taught her a poor body tempering technique. With this technique, she tempered her body like a wall of iron."
Liu Yuanyuan said slowly: "Dingkun Sect was founded by his master. When I followed his master, she had to help the cultivators smash iron before they could exchange it for spirit stones to replace the pills. Dingkun Sect has been established for more than 8,000 years, and the master guarded the sect alone for three thousand years."
Qi Yushu said: "When I entered the school, Dingkun Sect had only one thatched house. Even so, Master did not ask me about my wealthy family to use a needle and a thread. When my second junior brother committed a crime, Master did not give up on him even if he became his magic weapon. Even if everyone told her that her disciples were very bad, she was consistent with us."
He Jianing despised Wang Muye: "After Master accepted me, some cultivators from other sects fell in love with me. He said that he would exchange ten spiritual veins for me. At that time, Dingkun Sect started not long ago, and the ten spiritual veins were more valuable than the entire sect. If my master was the leader of the Wang Sect, I would have used me to exchange for spiritual veins long ago?"
To be continued...
