Chapter 190 Substitute Lu 14
Xiao Hong asked: "Then how did you and the senior just now know each other?"
"Senior!" When Ah Lu mentioned his senior, a smile appeared on his face. "When I was a child, I had a serious illness. When I opened my eyes, I was in your house. You are so nice. He was the first person I met. I always regarded him as a family member. However, you are very busy and I often can't find you. I haven't seen you for a long time."
After listening to A Lu's story, Xiao Hong was more certain that A Lu was A Si's child. Otherwise, how could Xiao Yu, who was full of evil spirit and wanted to take revenge on society, be so kind to save a child?
Moreover, this child has pure spiritual energy that is no less than that of the mermaids. He doesn't believe that he has no connection with the mermaids.
But if A-Lu was Xiao Yu's child, why would he abandon the child in the forest? What exactly was Xiao Yu planning? What did he want to do? And the mermaids, the entire species seemed to have become extinct overnight, and no trace of them could be found anymore.
Things were too complicated. Xiao Hong couldn't figure it out, and he didn't plan to think about it. After all, he was just a bystander in this story. The protagonist had already appeared, which meant that the plot had already unfolded. How could he interfere with the progress of the story? He, Hong Bian'an, didn't have the merit to resist the consequences of meddling in other people's affairs.
A Lu rested for a while, but did not forget the purpose of this trip. He picked up his sword and continued to look for his companions.
The training team had not yet reached their destination when they received a summons from the sect, ordering them to return to the mountain gate as soon as possible.
"But what happened?"
The senior brother handed the order to his junior brothers, and then began to explain: "Recently, we found that many immortals have disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown, but their life lamps are still on. The sect feels something is wrong and is afraid of accidents, so we are asked to go back."
After reading the order, the junior brother passed it on to the next person: "Those are all immortals, the most powerful beings on this continent. Since the life lamps are fine, the immortals should not be in danger. They must have been delayed by something."
The senior brother nodded: "Maybe, let's go back to the mountain gate as soon as possible."
The youngest brother in the team muttered with a worried look on his face: "Ah, we have to go back so soon after we came out? This is really not satisfying!" He shook his head and sighed as he expressed his dissatisfaction and confusion to his senior brothers.
At this moment, holding the order, Ah Lu couldn't help but think of the immortal who was infected with demonic energy: Could it be that the "accident" mentioned in this order was related to him? Perhaps the cultivation world really encountered some kind of huge crisis or trouble, so the immortal left in such a hurry.
Thinking of this, Ah Lu felt a strong curiosity and sense of mission. He decided to go back to the sect to investigate the matter and find out what happened. After all, if the cultivation world is really facing difficulties, then as an ordinary cultivator, he might be able to do his part.
During the time when the group was rushing back to the sect, three more immortals disappeared.
"There are only 24 known immortals on the continent. Eight of them are missing now. One third of them have been affected. What happened? Where did the immortals go?"
Everyone's heart was filled with doubt and fear, and the entire cultivation world began to panic. If even the immortals couldn't solve it, it must be a big deal.
This panic did not last for a few days, and suddenly there were rumors that there were unusual movements in the East China Sea, and a divine light was found on an island in the East China Sea. And someone saw the traces of the missing immortals from afar.
Then, news came out that the missing immortals did not encounter danger, but opportunities. That was the divine light, the divine light that could enlighten the immortals and help them break through the shackles of immortals and gods. All the immortals had ascended to the divine realm.
Hearing such absurd words, Xiao Hong found it ridiculous. The God Realm had long been shattered, so how could there be a God Realm? Moreover, do you really think it is so easy to be promoted from an immortal to a god? I heard from a big guy before that there are many requirements for immortals to become gods. The number of gods is fixed. From god to immortal, one must go through many tribulations. It is not possible to become a god with an inexplicable golden light.
However, this unfounded rumor caused a stir in the cultivation world, and the East China Sea became the most lively place in the entire cultivation world. However, the divine light never appeared again.
Even though the divine light disappeared, the people who went to investigate did not give up. More and more people were willing to take risks for this so-called opportunity. Among them, there were even more immortals involved.
Ah Lu watched two more immortals fly out from the sky above Qingshan Sect, and felt that this matter was not that simple: "Grandpa Lu, do you think that island is a miracle?"
Xiaohong scratched the petals. Why did this Grandpa Lu sound like he was calling him instead of Lu Changning? "My first name is Hong, so you should just call me Grandpa Hong."
Ah Lu was obedient and called out crisply, "Grandpa Hong."
"Hey." That's just right.
"I don't know what that divine light is, but I'm sure it's not a shortcut to becoming a god. At best, it's just a magic weapon left behind by the gods."
Hearing that it was a magic weapon, Ah Lu was relieved. Cultivating immortals is a process of both opportunities and challenges. As long as there are no evildoers, it is the right path.
A Lu stayed in the sect to practice, but he did not miss any news about the changes on this divine island. It is said that on August 15 this year, the divine light appeared again. A bold cultivator entered the divine light and actually obtained a fragment of an ancient artifact. Although it was rusty, it was still much better than today's magic weapons.
Just when more people were planning to go in and find out what was going on, the divine light disappeared again.
After several times, people came to the conclusion that this divine light is more likely to appear during a full moon. There really is a divine weapon in it, but there is also demonic energy. It can be said that crisis and opportunity coexist.
Ah Lu thought of the immortal he saw that day, who was seriously injured and contaminated with evil spirits: "He should have come out of this island."
When the news spread, more powerful people came. All three immortals in Qingshan Sect went out. Even the old ancestor who rarely moved around was driven out from his retreat.
A Lu didn't understand: the ancestor has never been interested in these things. The last time he came out of seclusion was more than two hundred years ago to seal the demons. Why did this matter attract him?
Xiao Hong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Perhaps it is the extreme desire for survival deep in his heart. Your ancestor has been an immortal for too long, and his life span has come to an end. If he does not find a way to survive, he will probably die in a few decades! This divine island is his last hope of survival."
Ah Lu was puzzled: "They are all immortals, how can they die?"
"Even gods will die, let alone these little fairies. Without the bonus of their positions, all that awaits them is the end of their lives."
These words were something Ah Lu had never heard in the sect: "Grandpa Hong, what is the bonus of a position? How can I get a position?"
Xiaohong looked at Ah Lu's big watery eyes, which were really the same as Ah Si's eyes: "The so-called position is actually a position granted by heaven! They are a group of immortals working for heaven and earth. They have the abilities and responsibilities given by heaven and earth, and likewise, they are protected by heaven and earth. This protection allows them to truly live as long as heaven and earth. As long as they don't make mistakes, they are basically immortal."
Ah Lu asked: "The immortals here don't have any positions, right?"
"It is so difficult to get a position. This is just a small world. There is a wider world outside this world. Only by breaking through the constraints of this small world can you truly reach the realm of immortals."
"It turns out the world is so big!" Ah Lu widened his eyes and looked up at the sky that was soaring into the clouds and had no end in sight in disbelief. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He just stood there quietly, holding his little head in his hands, his eyes confused and empty, as if he was completely immersed in thinking about this vast world and couldn't extricate himself.
"I can't even break through this sky, how can I reach the mysterious fairyland you mentioned?" A Lu murmured to himself.
Xiaohong didn’t know about this. After all, he had never been there.
Just when everyone was flocking to this divine island, something big happened in the cultivation world. An immortal was killed. And he was killed in his own sect.
This person is an immortal. Even if his strength is average, he still has the body of an immortal. He was killed quietly in his own room, so the murderer is most likely an immortal.
Behind every immortal, there is a sect to protect. Without the protection of the immortals, a large sect will soon be devoured.
Originally, everyone thought it was just a simple revenge killing. After all, although there were signs of struggle at the scene, there was no other evil spirit attached to the dead immortal, so everyone just regarded this matter as a topic of conversation after dinner.
However, gradually, the development of the matter exceeded their expectations, and two more immortals were killed, and people began to feel that something was unusual. But there was no clue at all.
Finally, the next case happened in Tianyi Sword Sect. This time, the person who was killed was not the Supreme Elder who went to Shendao, but the Law Enforcement Elder of Tianyi Sword Sect. It is said that the death was quite tragic. The meridians in the body were shattered by the whip of the Second Elder himself, and there was no good flesh on the body. However, under the Second Elder's body, there was a message left by his fingernails - Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu! Grandpa Hong, do you know this person?"
Xiao Hong knew, of course. He probably also knew the reason why Xiao Yu was infected with evil spirit: "He is probably seeking revenge!"
"Revenge? I heard that this Elder Xiao is also an elder of Tianyi Sword Sect. Does he have a grudge against the deceased elder?"
Xiao Hong looked at Ah Lu's face, which was a combination of Xiao Yu and Ah Si, and felt mixed emotions: "Do you know how the last Demon Clan Seal was resolved?"
Of course Ah Lu knew this: "I heard that they were lucky enough to find a dual-attribute monster of water and fire, and replaced the original Master Zi Yue, and the formation was repaired."
"Haha, the monster beast you are talking about is Xiao Yu's only disciple."
"What? Elder Xiao Yu actually accepted a demon beast as his apprentice! This is unbelievable."
Xiao Hong felt that there was something wrong with the education in the cultivation world, as good cultivators were squeezed into the same mold: "So what if they are monsters? How is they different from Wang Ziyue? What Wang Ziyue did is not much better than what Ah Si did."
Ah Lu asked, "Is Ah Si the sealed monster? You mean to say that this Elder Xiao has come to avenge his disciple! Then wouldn't Master Zi Yue be in danger as well?"
Just as he was speaking, news came from outside that Master Zi Yue, who was out for training, was attacked. All his tendons and veins were broken, his dantian was empty, and he had become a useless person.
Ah Lu exclaimed: "Our guess turned out to be true. Elder Xiao actually started to avenge his disciple. He and his disciple have a really good relationship."
Recalling the heartbreaking scene of the past, Xiao Yu tightly grasped the precious demon pill, his eyes revealing a kind of determination and firmness, as if he was going to leave with someone. Xiao Hong nodded silently, expressing her agreement, "Yes, Ah Si is not just an ordinary disciple to him, but also the closest and dearest person in his life! The emotional bond between them is so deep that it cannot be severed. One side is broken and the whole plate is scattered, which is also a rare true love in this world of cultivation."
"What the hell! Elder Xiao Yu and the disciple who was sealed in the formation are a couple!" Ah Lu got to know shocking news!
Xiaohong found it funny to see him like this. I haven't even told you they are your parents, and you look so surprised. You're so unstable, really too unstable.
Ah Lu supported his chin and began to think: "If this is his lover, then the water seal is about to break, which will inevitably affect the fire seal. Will Elder Xiao Yu take this opportunity to unlock the seal and rescue her? No, I have to go and see."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're just a kid, what can you do there? Just stay here and sweep the floor."
I can only say that he is worthy of being the protagonist. His ability to take action is admirable. He does what he says and immediately rushes towards the place where the demons are sealed.
I don't know if it was the male protagonist's aura or the attraction between father and son, but after Ah Lu came to this place that no one had ever visited, he actually saw a person standing in front of the formation, caressing the fiery red seal with nostalgia.
Ah Lu approached and carefully looked at the figure of the man in black, then said in disbelief: "Senior, why are you here?"
The black shadow slowly turned around, and a cold and familiar face appeared in front of him—it was actually Xiao Yu!
Seeing Ah Lu, Xiao Yu's originally sad expression seemed to be diluted by the sunshine: "Ah Lu, why don't you stay in Qingyun Sect and come here?"
Ah Lu looked at the senior and asked tentatively, "Senior, I never knew your name. May I ask, is your name Xiao Yu?"
