Chapter 88 Today’s chapter is untitled
When Xiao En heard Fan Xian’s confident words, he coughed violently for a long time without stopping, and in the middle of the night on top of the wall, he didn’t know if those searching jinyi guards below could hear him. Fan Xian was a bit worried, and took out a fine needle, fumblingly stabbing into Xiao En’s neck, helping him to soothe his heart pulse.
Fan Xian’s fingers gently rested on Xiao En’s neck, but he felt a slight wetness and stickiness, he sniffled and smelled a faint fishy odor, knowing that Xiao En had started coughing up blood, his face was expressionless, but his heart was slightly touched.
“That’s a fairy.” The dying old man obstinately confirmed his judgment from thirty years ago.
Fan Xian didn’t want to argue with him about this matter and asked, “How could a four-year-old girl lift a box? Who carried that box?”
“What suitcase?” Sean’s voice was straight, not like he was lying.
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, knowing that there was no need for the other party to hide anything else at this point, and that at this point, Uncle Five Bamboos had yet to make an appearance. Five Bamboo had once said that he and his mother had come out of their home together, where was this home? According to the letter left by his mother, Five Bamboo had once fought with a strong man in the temple, thus losing part of his memory, why did Five Bamboo fight with the people in the temple? Could it be a jealousy fight?
“What happened afterward?”
This was the part that all those who listened to the story had to do. Sean, the old storyteller, was dying, so naturally Fan Xian would not forget to ask these three words.
Inside the tent, Bitter Lotus was lying on top of the furs, breathing a little heavily, not knowing what that four year old little girl had promised him that was able to make him go against what he had always believed in and dare to make a move against the people inside the temple.
Sean glanced at the little girl who lifted the tent curtain and looked out into the snow outside the tent. Outside the wind and snow is not reduced, the little girl skin color wins the snow, small hand tightly clutched the thick tent cloth. A small person, looking at the big world outside, that feeling has a kind of lonesome feeling that does not match her age at all.
He carefully moved to Bitter Lotus’s side and put his hand to the opening of Bitter Lotus’s robe.
“That’s what I gave him.” The little girl didn’t look back, “Don’t you move it.”
Sean looked at the little girl, and a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes. What Bitter Lotus was hiding in his arms at this moment must be the supreme heavenly book in the temple or something like that, so there was no way for him not to be moved. But as soon as he thought that the little girl was a little fairy that had stolen out from the temple, Sean immediately gave up all thoughts.
He kneeled down with incomparable respect and bowed down to the little fairy at the door, “My people are the Commander of the Twin Battalions of the Wei Zhenfu Division, and by His Majesty’s order, I have come to the temple to listen to the heavenly decree, and to ask the Immortal to grant the medicine of immortality.”
This was Sean’s mission, and he had not forgotten it.
The little girl at the door heard this, but she laughed and laughed. After a while, she suddenly threw a pill to Sean: “You guys did me a favor, I’ll do you a favor too, that monk got a benefit, you get some benefit too.”
Sean took the pill and didn’t see anything special about it when he went to look at it carefully, but since it was a gift from a fairy, of course he couldn’t neglect it, so he took out the jade box and carefully put it in.
“You guys go back.” The little girl spoke in a somewhat old-fashioned tone, “What’s there to stay here.”
Sean was a little disappointed, it was so hard to find the temple, but he didn’t go in, and he didn’t know what the fairy in the temple actually looked like.
“Thank you fairy for the medicine.”
“Don’t come here in the future.” The little girl suddenly whispered, “And don’t tell anyone where the temple is.”
“If I find out that you have revealed the location of the temple, I will kill you.” The little girl turned around, her tender face all frosty intent, “Do you hear me?”
Sean repeatedly crouched his head and said yes, although this kind of cold and icy words, coming from the mouth of a little girl doll carved out of ice and snow, seemed a bit comical, but the fact that a four year old girl was able to make these words clear, in itself proved that she was not a mortal.
Even though Sean was the leader of the Great Wei Tee Riders, he still didn’t dare to disobey.
The old man had to obey.
“When Bitter Lotus woke up, that little fairy forced the two of us to take a poisonous oath, and then we started walking south. During those few days, the smile on the little fairy’s face gradually grew, as if she thought it was fun to be able to set foot on earth.” Sean continued to reminisce, “It’s strange to say that every time Bitter Lotus and I looked at that tiny back of hers, we always couldn’t feel how divine power she had inside her body, alas …… there’s a difference between immortals and mortals, and those of us with fleshly eyes can’t really see it.”
“Then one day, the little fairy looked back at the big snow mountain behind her, suddenly muttered to herself, he is also too poor. I remember this sentence very well, for I have never seen that kind of compassionate sentiment on a mortal’s face.”
Fan Xian of course knew that his old mom was not a fairy, and at that time, she probably didn’t have any powerful strength, but she was actually able to bluff the two strongest men in this world, and that head, it was really good, but he just didn’t understand who his old mom was talking about when she said the person who was too pitiful.
And he also does not believe in what compassionate feelings, can not help but lose a laugh.
Sean mocked, “You and I, such rats surviving in the gutter, how do we know the appearance of a fairy crane on the clouds of the nine heavens, that look in the little fairy’s eyes, I can’t describe it at all, but it’s something that has kept Bitter Lotus and I thinking about it.”
Fan Xian was silent.
“The next day, the little fairy suddenly disappeared, I don’t know where she went, on that bitterly cold and boundless snowy land, a person suddenly disappeared without a trace, scaring me and Bitter Lotus half to death.” Sean in the cave gasped and recalled, “This was the most mysterious adventure in my life, and it was a bit of luck to be able to see a fairy that didn’t belong to this human world.”
“And then you and Bitter Lotus went back to Northern Wei?” Fan Xian asked.
“Not bad, the journey back was even more treacherous than when we went, but all in all, we came back without any danger.” Sean said, “I offered the pills given by the fairy to His Majesty, and this matter was then considered to have a better outcome.”
Fan Xian said, “Don’t lie to me, that pill should have landed in your stomach long ago.”
Sean hissed and laughed, “I knew I couldn’t fool you.”
Fan Xian said, “Where in this world would there be an immortality pill?”
“That kind of temptation is something that every normal person can’t resist.” Sean sighed and said, “Of course, after I took that pill, I realized that it’s just a better physique, it’s impossible to live forever. That’s when I realized that the original little fairy could also cheat people.”
“I believe that that little fairy loves to cheat people the most in her life.” Fan Xian said in a bit of a daze, “Maybe even when she died, she was lying to people.”
“What died?” Sean said, “How could a fairy die.”
Fan Xian ignored him and closed his eyes to memorize the memories of what Sean had said in his mind, then stood up and gripped the dagger. At this time, there was no light around, and with dark clouds in the sky covering the stars and the moon, he couldn’t see his movements clearly.
“Why does Bitter Lotus want you to die?” This was Fan Xian’s last question, “I don’t think you’re able to cause such a commotion just because you know the location of the temple.”
Instead, Sean found Fan Xian’s question strange, “Everyone knows what the divine temple means to the world, and if such important news were to spread, if it were to ever spread, I’m afraid that the world would be in chaos, whether it be the small children of the Qi war family or that incredibly insidious emperor of yours, Nanqing, they would all send teams to the north to make a pilgrimage to it, and the strongest people in the world would even keep trying to find the divine temple. ”
Fan Xian rubbed his nose and said, “A divine temple? You’ve been there and said it’s just a big temple, what’s there to worship?”
Sean sneered, “Bitter Lotus merely knelt in front of the temple and became the topmost Great Sage on earth, this kind of temptation, for a martial arts practitioner, is something you can’t even imagine as strong …… And do you think that Bitter Lotus is really a Great Sage? Look at him kneeling so devoutly in front of the temple, but the little fairy just gave him a book, and in an instant he overthrew the temple he had believed in for his entire life and risked his life. In the face of profit, he’s just a great villain who is good at disguising himself.”
Sean continued, “If he kills me, he will be the only one in the whole world who knows where the temple is. What exactly is in the temple? Bitter Lotus might not be able to know in this lifetime, but he has already gained enough, so why would he risk letting the other powerful people in the world have that opportunity as well?”
Fan Xian thought about it, it was indeed this reasoning, vaguely somewhat understanding why Bitter Lotus couldn’t forget to kill Sean, perhaps it was in order to preserve his glorious image as a master of the country and not wanting the ugliness on that journey north to come to light, or perhaps it was because Bitter Lotus knew that what was in the temple would bring unknown dangers to this world.
“What exactly is in the temple?”
Fan Xian fell into deep thought, his fingers subconsciously drawing the word “Do not” at the entrance of the temple, as Sean said, one finger after another gradually accelerating, breaking the wind with a sound.
“Since a thousand years ago, the world has known that the temple is not involved in world affairs, and it was already a risky gamble for Bitter Lotus and I to go looking for it. It has been proven that as long as we leave the temple, those in the temple will not come to the world’s trouble …… Bitter Lotus guards the present day Northern Qi, so how can he still dare to take the risk of violating the heavenly authority?”
Sean’s energy has gradually delegated down, his voice is getting smaller and smaller, but the fear in his voice is always lingering: “What’s more, Little Fairy forced us to take a poisonous oath, even if Bitter Lotus always boasts of being the one closest to the sky in this world, could it be that he dares to go against the oath?”
“Don’t take things like oaths too seriously.” Fan Xian said, “Didn’t you tell me the location of the temple just the same?”
“That’s because I’m dying.” Sean twisted his head to the side with some difficulty, “And you’re going to die in this hole as well.”
Fan Xian smiled slightly apologetically and said, “I don’t think so.”
