For Ning Xuan, Xianzun Chenghuai is just a character in the book. The book describes the deeds he has done for mortals in words. He once entered the demon world alone and wiped out almost a demon cultivator in a demon city; Tens of thousands of demon armies recaptured the mortal city; for the sake of the world, he was even able to kill his own Taoist companion...
And since his relationship with his Taoist companion a hundred years ago, there is no news of him in the immortal world and the mortal world, and there are also legends. Huai Xianzun is no longer there.
Ning Xuan heard the name from Li Yao's mouth and felt extremely unreal. If what Li Yao said is true, then the national teacher beside her now...
seems to be more in line with the legendary image of "Chenghuai Xianzun".
But for some unknown reason, Ning Xuan didn't want to believe that Master Guo Shi was that Immortal Venerable.
When the possibility came to her mind, Ning Xuan got goosebumps.
She thought that the legendary Immortal Venerable had no news for so long, maybe he had already passed away, and the Master National Teacher might be the same as Li Yao, but he just had some relationship with Immortal Venerable.
Ning Xuan thought so, and subconsciously glanced to the side.
"National Teacher" calmly met her gaze, no matter who they were discussing, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him.
Because of the insipid state of the national teacher, Ning Xuan calmed down.
"I haven't seen Immortal Venerable Chenghuai, but I have heard of this Immortal Venerable."
Chenghuai's eyes fell on Ning Xuan, waiting for her next words.
Li Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of person is he?"
Ning Xuan felt two scorching gazes, and after considering the answer in her heart, she replied,
"He is an immortal, and he is different from us mortals. The immortal of the world. Compared with the immortal world where the boundaries between immortals and mortals are clearly defined, as an immortal, he did everything he could to protect the world, and everything he did deserves our mortals' gratitude."
Chenghuai looked away from her. , lowered his eyes and said nothing.
It turned out to her that he and she were two worlds.
His eyes caught a glimpse of a strand of silver hair hidden in his long hair, and his brows furrowed fiercely.
Ning Xuan was about to make persistent efforts and praised Immortal Venerable a few more words when she found that the phantom beside her had suddenly disappeared.
Without the sight of the national teacher beside her, Ning Xuan felt a little more at ease.
On the one hand, she hopes that the national teacher can protect Ning Guo, but on the other hand, she feels that she should not be so selfish and put all her hopes on the national teacher. If he is an immortal, he will definitely not feel well when the cause and effect are settled.
"It turns out that he is such a person."
Li Yao reached out and touched his face, with a smile.
Ning Xuan looked at his bright smile and was slightly startled, she thought, she would never see such a smile on a national teacher in her life.
"The older I get, the more people say that I look like Immortal Chenghuai. Perhaps because of this face, the clansmen put all their hopes on me. They hope that one day, I can end all this and find the ocean. The method of nurturing new life."
Li Yao opened his palm towards Ning Xuan, on top of his palm, a transparent water polo was condensed, and inside the water polo was the whole picture of the island, miniatured in this water polo.
"After the elders also returned to the ocean, I was alone in Haizhu Country, experiencing the illusions of more than a hundred years ago, and shooting the waves that submerged Haizhu Country back into the ocean day after day, I became more and more puzzled, the ocean cannot breed new life. Is it really just because of Xuanqing Longnv and her husband?"
Li Yao folded his palms into fists and looked directly at Ning Xuan,
"Until today, when you came to Haizhu, I seem to have understood something."
Living the same life with almost no change, when he met Ning Xuan and knew why she came here and what the outside world had become, he finally understood that the meaning of his existence was not to find a solution to give birth to a new life. method, but to help the world free from suffering.
Ning Xuan has never experienced a life like Li Yao's. She didn't know that when she was born, she had to face a country that had perished. Since she was sensible, she has been doing one thing over and over again, and it has been a hundred years since she did so. what an experience.
Li Yao felt boring and felt that such a day was meaningless. It can be said that since the day he was born, he has not had a so-called good day.
The clansmen told him that he looks like an immortal in Chenghuai, and he should be like an immortal. Even if he becomes an immortal, he must feed back mortals and contribute to the world.
He should listen to his clan's words, never leave Haizhu, and find a way for the ocean to breed new life.
Before Ning Xuan, there was a foreigner who had come to Haizhu Country, but when he landed, he was already dead. Li Yao picked up this foreigner. His common language in Tianyuan Continent was taught by this foreigner. The foreigner told Li Yao a lot of the outside world and encouraged him to take him away from Haizhu. He said that he wanted to return to his hometown. ....
However, the Hai people would never allow Li Yao to leave Haizhu, they could not accept the fact that they lost another clan.
That night, Li Yao saw the foreigner dragging the sick body and climbing onto the boat step by step, but he fell down forever before he loosened the rope.
In the end, the guest died in a foreign land.
"The ocean cannot give birth to new life, it is for the new life of the whole world."
When Li Yao said this, the sea breeze blew across their faces, and Ning Xuan felt the gentleness of the sea breeze. Terrifying, like an old man, he patted the junior's head lightly and smiled with relief.
Ning Xuan stood by the sea with him, looking at the sea in front of her, where she could not see the road ahead.
She could have spoken out about the "turning point" in the prophecy, but when she realized that the so-called turning point needed to be exchanged with Li Yao's life, she couldn't speak any more.
Like, she's begging someone else to die.
No one can decide each other's life for others, and no one can measure the value of one human life and many human lives.
"Ning Xuan, I've figured it out." Li Yao smiled lightly,
"I'll help you."
Ning Xuan was visibly happy because of his answer, her eyes lit up, and she looked at him with flushed cheeks.
"But I have a request."
Li Yao stretched out his index finger and gave her a sly smile,
"I want to go to the place where you grew up and have a look. See what kind of place it is, so that you can overcome all difficulties and come here. ."
This request was not difficult for Ning Xuan, she nodded vigorously and agreed to his request,
"Okay!"
.
Ning Guo's capital, Qingyuntai.
When Ning Xuan's consciousness disappeared, in the inner room, the four lights on the magic circle also flickered suddenly as if something had thrown them at them.
Cheng Huai, who was sitting in the center, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the corners of his pale lips, the smear of blood was extremely dazzling.
Chenghuai wiped the blood red from the corners of his lips with his thumb, and when he stood up, his figure shook.
He noticed that someone stepped into the Qingyuntai, the pace was hurried, and finally stood in front of the small building with a worried look on his face.
Chenghuai walked out of the inner room and walked slowly to the door, recalling what Ning Xuan said just now.
Immortals and mortals are people from different worlds.
He put his hand on the door and paused.
Gratitude, he doesn't need anyone's gratitude at all.
Chenghuai pushed the door open and met the gaze of the person who came.
"Lord National Teacher, for some reason, the National Protector Array suddenly broke a hole, just in the southeast. If you don't repair it quickly, I am afraid that this gap will be discovered by the magic cultivator."
That person was the minister in charge of guarding the National Defense Array. Once there is something wrong with the National Protector Array, it will be reported to the sage as soon as possible, and at the same time, it will come to find the national teacher to repair it.
This is not the first time that such a situation has occurred in the Protecting the Nation Array. The last time Chenghuai modified the national line for Ning Guo was also because of a problem with the Protecting the Nation Array.
"I see."
Chenghuai couldn't be more clear about why there was a problem with the Protecting the Nation Array.
Today's magic circle is maintained by Chenghuai's strength, but he is no longer what he used to be. When using power, the protecting the country magic circle will be affected.
"Master National Teacher, the world is in chaos today. If it is even Ningguo... I'm afraid there will be no pure land in Tianyuan Continent!"
It is Chenghuai's vitality, and for every day of protecting the country, Chenghuai loses one day.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care about Chenghuai's life or death. This is true of mortals, they only care about their own life and death.
Chenghuai's eyes crossed him and looked in the direction of Haizhu Country. How many people in this world can risk their lives for others?
On this day, the National Master rebuilt the National Defense Array at the National Capital Altar. All the people of the National Capital came to watch, knelt down and kowtowed to the person standing in the center of the altar, hoping that Ningguo would be stable for a hundred years.
When Ning Xuan crossed the border and took Li Yao into the border of Ning Kingdom, she heard that the national teacher was rebuilding the national law formation at the altar.
"Why do I think these people look at me strangely?"
Li Yao noticed the problem as soon as he walked into the tavern.
When Ning Xuan returned to Ning State, she did not hide her whereabouts. Instead, she let the spirit detectives know where she was. This was a disguised report of safety to the people in the capital.
"Really?"
Ning Xuan found that the people around her not only looked at Li Yao strangely, but also looked at her strangely.
Just as the shopkeeper looked back at the guests at their table, Fu Nanxing, who had been waiting for news from Ning Xuan at the border, arrived in a hurry after receiving the news from the Spirit Detective.
Fu Nanxing saw Ning Xuan at first sight, and his uneasy heart finally sank.
After he led Ning Xuan away from the spirit guards, he also took people to the place they agreed to find Ning Xuan, but he didn't find her. If Ning Xuan came back a little later, Fu Nanxing would not wait any longer. Now, he will go to Haizhu Country along the road that he had agreed with Ning Xuan.
Fu Nanxing rubbed his slightly sour nose, held back his tears, and approached Ning Xuan's table.
Just after walking a few steps, he found that besides Ning Xuan, there was a man with his back to him sitting at the table.
At this time, Ning Xuan also saw Fu Nanxing, raised her hand to him, and greeted him happily.
The man sitting opposite Ning Xuan slowly turned his head.
When Fu Nanxing saw his face clearly, his reaction was the same as Ning Xuan, and he was stunned.
"Country..." Master National Teacher?
The name was almost about to come out of his mouth, but the next moment, Li Yao smiled politely at him. This smile seemed so bright on his face, and he immediately communicated with the person who almost never smiled. differentiated.
Fu Nanxing recognized it, but others didn't recognize it, especially since the National Teacher showed his face at the altar, folk painters painted the portrait of the National Teacher, and the whole Ning Kingdom almost knew that the National Teacher was unparalleled in appearance.
And Ning Xuan, as the princess of the Ning Kingdom, has such a high reputation among the people, and many people know what the princess looks like.
The two of them appeared in the territory of Ningguo without any cover. Sometimes, because Li Yao didn't quite understand the difference between men and women, he made some "close" actions, such as buying some snacks on the roadside, and sharing a bite of it himself. Ning Xuan, while Fu Nanxing's eyes were hot, in the eyes of others, such a move was somewhat out of bounds.
So, a rumor spread among the people.
A rumor about the princess and the national teacher.
