Chen Xiao didn't know whether it was Tai Su who used Xi Yunting's aura to guard Jiukun Mountain to hurt him, or whether he was more sad to find out that he was the one who caused the backlash and made Tai Su seriously ill and dying.
When he suddenly learned the truth, the usually resolute Xi Yunting was also hit hard. He found it difficult to face it for a while and actually avoided it.
"Have you found your brother?" Chen Xiao asked Liu Shaoguang.
Liu Shaoguang shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Tao is searching along the mountain. Once he finds Junior Brother Xi, he will send me a communication talisman as soon as possible."
Chen Xiao fell into the chair and said, "I'm really worried, brother, you won't do anything stupid, right?"
Liu Shaoguang leaned against the table, looking tired. He had not rested since he discovered Taisu's illness. Even a man of iron could not bear it.
He said calmly: "Junior Brother Xi is not such a frivolous person, he just wants to find a place to calm down."
Chen Xiao could understand that Xi Yunting wanted to be alone to sort out his feelings at this time, but he couldn't help but feel worried.
Chen Xiao forced himself to divert his attention. Now that he had found the root cause, and it happened to be within his area of expertise, Chen Xiao could not just stand by and watch.
Seeking a solution for Taisu's serious illness is also a way to relieve my elder brother's worries. If Taisu can get better, my elder brother's mood should also improve.
Chen Xiao asked, "Can you tell me in detail what happened before Big Brother became my disciple?"
After Xi Yunting disappeared, Chen Xiao found Liu Shaoguang and told him everything. He didn't need to ask in detail, Liu Shaoguang was going to tell him the details.
"The hundred years before Junior Brother Xi joined the sect was the most turbulent year for the Chongxuan Sect. My master took over as the Sect Leader very suddenly. The previous Sect Leader died suddenly, and there was fierce infighting and fighting within the sect. Fellow disciples would often kill each other." Liu Shaoguang spoke of those bloody days, and his eyes were also bloodshot. "My master took the position after being designated by the previous Sect Leader. There were many people who did not obey him at that time. My Second Junior Brother, several disciples of Senior Brother Tai Sheng and I killed our way here. Master also dealt with several high-level elders ruthlessly, and only then did we pacify the unrest and calm the incident."
Liu Shaoguang squinted his eyes and said in a trance: "It was during the most intense period of the conflict that Master suddenly brought back Junior Brother Xi when he was out. I don't know why, but since then, we have been able to do things much more smoothly. Whether it is eliminating opponents or expelling them from the sect, we have never encountered any major obstacles. After the situation was initially settled, Master issued stricter sect rules, and the heads were sent down the mountain to search for disciples with excellent spiritual roots. Slowly, we recovered our vitality."
Chen Xiao was shocked when he heard this. Before this, the Chongxuan Sect was on the verge of collapse. If Xi Yunting had not been brought back to the mountain gate by chance, the Chongxuan Sect might have already fallen apart.
Liu Shaoguang smiled bitterly, looked at Chen Xiao and said, "So, you understand why Master's serious illness caused such a big commotion, right? It can be said that without Master's efforts to turn the tide, the Zhongxuan Sect would have been greatly weakened by internal strife and become a third-rate sect. He is the pillar of Zhongxuan Sect. Without him, the entire senior leadership would be in a panic."
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Although I feel sorry for Yun Ting, whether Master did it intentionally or not, he has fulfilled his duties as a sect leader and preserved the foundation of Chongxuan Sect for ten thousand years."
Chen Xiao shook his head. He felt sorry for Xi Yunting, but he really had no right to judge the matter.
Liu Shaoguang felt that he had only sighed recently, "It was only after you spoke out this time that I realized what the wind was affecting."
Chen Xiao corrected him, "It's Feng Shui. According to my senior brother, the decline of Jiukun Mountain began to show three hundred years ago. The decline of the Zhongxuan Sect was the beginning of the backlash of the evil dragon. If the backlash of the evil dragon cannot be stopped, it will make people bloodthirsty and tyrannical, disturb people's minds, and lead to tragic consequences of suffering and cannibalism."
Liu Shaoguang's face was gloomy, and he said: "It was indeed such a chaos at that time, fortunately it didn't really happen."
Chen Xiao said: "In the secular world, this is a sign of a fallen nation and a chaotic dynasty. I didn't expect that the sign of the fierce dragon's backlash would have a similar impact on the Immortal Sect."
Liu Shaoguang stood up, looked at him, and said solemnly: "Chen Xiao, since you can see through the mystery, I think you can also find a way to resolve it. I, Liu Shaoguang, beg you to save my sect and my master."
After saying this, he bowed deeply.
This scared Chen Xiao, and he quickly took a step forward and went over to hold Liu Shaoguang.
But Liu Shaoguang's cultivation level was at the Spirit Severing Stage, so how could he be stopped by just this little bit of power?
After receiving the salute, Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you are embarrassing me. Even if you don't tell me, I will do my best. I have a marriage vow with my elder brother, and the Chongxuan Sect is also half of my sect. If my sect is in trouble and Master Taisu is in trouble, I will not sit idly by."
Liu Shaoguang stood up, helped Chen Xiao up, and said to him: "As long as you can resolve the disaster of Chongxuan and my master, I, Liu Shaoguang, will be at your disposal, and the entire treasury of Chongxuan Sect can be used as a betrothal gift."
Chen Xiao was stunned, and after a while he chuckled, "Brother Liu, this is a really big joke."
Liu Shaoguang curled the corner of his mouth and did not emphasize to Chen Xiao that he was serious.
After re-seating, Chen Xiao said, "Although Big Brother's aura is currently suppressing the evil dragon, this is only a temporary solution. Big Brother's luck is connected to the Chongxuan Sect through the master-disciple relationship. This connection is solid, but it is not long-lasting. Once Big Brother leaves for a long time, or Big Brother ascends to heaven, this protective power will disappear. The evil dragon's backlash will come back, and it will only be stronger."
Liu Shaoguang followed his train of thought and analyzed, "Since we know that Jiukun Mountain has such hidden dangers, it would be better to move the entire sect somewhere else and abandon this place."
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "The Zhongxuan Sect built its mountain gate here and has stood here for ten thousand years. It has long been closely related to this place. Even if it moves to another place, it is difficult to escape the cause and effect and cannot escape this disaster."
Liu Shaoguang slammed the table in worry, "What sin did my Chongxuan Sect commit that a good mountain range turned into a vicious dragon that chooses people to devour?"
Chen Xiao also wanted to know the answer to this problem. Only by finding the root cause could we get a real solution to the problem.
Chen Xiao sat there until dark, but there was no news from Tao Yi.
From time to time, people came to report to Liu Shaoguang and asked him to make decisions. He could not ignore them. Chen Xiao did not intend to continue disturbing them and returned to Zhenwo Building.
The temperature dropped quickly in the mountains, and the wind was stronger at night. It was only mid-autumn, but it was already freezing cold, and Chen Xiao, who was already a little afraid of the cold, shivered all the way.
Rushing into the house, Chen Xiao went straight to the bedroom.
The windows of the Zhenwo Building were inlaid with large jade disks with excellent light transmittance, and the entire building was built with extremely hard spiritual wood. Because they did not consider that a master like Chen Xiao who could not use martial arts to keep warm would live in the building, they did not install a floor heating system. The date for the renovation was scheduled, but it was postponed due to post-disaster reconstruction.
Before, with Xi Yunting, the human heater, Chen Xiao could still get by. But now that the human heater is gone, he can only find a way out on his own.
Chen Xiao directly brought out the incense burner. The incense burner was half a person's height, and the inner hall was very large. Chen Xiao threw a pile of silver frost charcoal into it and lit it. After a while, it burned vigorously.
Standing by the stove to keep warm, Chen Xiao was thinking about customizing an automatic heater powered by a spirit bead. Since the world of immortal cultivation can make convenient tools such as freezers, stoves, water heaters, etc., making an automatic heater is no problem.
Chen Xiao was feeling a bit dazed by the warmth, and someone held his hand. "What? Are you cold?"
Chen Xiao was startled and turned his head to meet Xi Yunting's eyes, "Brother! You're back!"
Xi Yunting's hands continuously transmitted warmth, and soon the toes in his boots also became warm. He touched Chen Xiao's face apologetically and said, "I should order you a cloak with a built-in heating function, because the wind in the mountains is too cold."
Chen Xiao turned around, hugged his waist, and asked carefully: "Are you okay?"
Xi Yunting shook his head without saying anything. He held him in his arms and moved him to the couch.
Chen Xiao did not ask further questions and changed the subject, "Where did you go during the day? Senior Brother Tao has been looking for you all day, did you see him?"
Xi Yunting held him in his arms, and said to him close to his neck: "I was meditating in the back mountain. I did see Senior Brother Tao. After he found me, he has been meditating not far from me."
Then why didn't they send a message to Liu Shaoguang? Chen Xiao was a little puzzled.
As if seeing his confusion, Xi Yunting said softly: "Second Senior Brother looks rough, but he is actually very careful. He must have known that I ran to the back mountain, and he didn't want people to know that I was meditating there, so he kept guarding me."
Chen Xiao said with emotion: "Senior Brother Tao is really a good person."
"Yes, from childhood to adulthood, the two brothers treated me like their own brothers and sisters. They did not alienate me because I always brought bad luck to those around me. Even if I was accidentally hurt, they never got angry with me." Xi Yunting seemed to be talking to Chen Xiao, but also seemed to be talking to himself. "Although the master is strict with others, he never beat or scolded me. He took me back to the mountain gate, accepted me as an entry-level disciple, taught me the most suitable skills, and passed on to me the most advanced knowledge. Such kindness, such love, these are not fake, even if I was accepted as a disciple for some reason, so what?"
Chen Xiao patted Xi Yunting's arm gently, both as a comfort and an expression of approval.
Although his purpose was not pure, Tai Su allowed Xi Yunting to grow up healthily, achieve success in cultivation, be outstanding, and hold a high position of power.
The most unresentable thing is that Tai Su chose the best way, using his master's teaching to bind him to Xi Yunting and borrow his natural strong luck. If it were someone else who was ruthless, he would have directly refined it into a magic weapon and buried it underground. Dead things are easier to manipulate than living people.
Therefore, Chen Xiao was willing to take the trouble to save Tai Su. Otherwise, he would just do something dirty to speed up the backlash and make Tai Su die faster.
"Brother Xiao, what can we do for our Master now?" Xi Yunting, who had cheered up, asked.
Chen Xiao leaned against his chest and said, "First, I need to conduct a comprehensive survey of Jiukun Mountain to find out the root cause of the fierce dragon's backlash."
Xi Yunting said: "Starting tomorrow, I will accompany you up the mountain."
The author has something to say: There is no pretentious entanglement. In the end, Tai Su did only one thing, which was to accept Xi Yunting as his apprentice and borrow his luck. He did not understand Feng Shui, but simply acted according to his own understanding.
As a result, the luck on the little attacker was too strong, and Tai Su couldn't resist it, so he suffered backlash.
To answer the reader’s question, the halo of misfortune is not caused by the backlash of the evil dragon.
