Chapter 154: The Holy Land is Strong! The Holy Mother Gu Xinglian! Stories and Questions
"Miscellaneous disciple?"
Xiao Ling'er, Lin Fan and Huo Yun'er were all shocked!
This female disciple is only fifty years old in bone age, and among the immortal cultivators, she is no different from a 'young girl'.
But he possesses the third level of cultivation in the sixth realm of destiny!
With such talent and strength, even if she was placed in a first-rate sect, she would be trained as a sequence disciple or even a "holy maiden". But in the Wanhua Holy Land, she was just a menial disciple? !
"Very surprised?"
The other party shook his head and chuckled: "It seems that you know very little."
"There are no more than 10,000 disciples in each generation of Wanhua Holy Land, including 9,000 menial disciples, 900 outer disciples, 90 inner disciples, 9 personal disciples, and one saint girl."
"The rest of the people are not from the Holy Land. They are not even subordinates. They can only be considered as subjects under its jurisdiction."
"I am indeed a menial disciple."
"Even among the menial disciples, he is not considered a strong one."
"But because of this, if you can't even defeat me, there's no need to join the sect."
She chuckled again, "Stop humiliating yourself."
Lin Fan's mouth twitched.
Good job.
With over a million sacred mountains and countless years of accumulation of heritage, only ten thousand people are trained in each generation?
On average, the resources of one hundred sacred mountains nourish one person. This is not considered "foundation", but only the current accumulation of resources. This...
No wonder he is so absurdly strong, just a menial disciple has such cultivation and courage.
"Fortunately, my Lanyue clan's descendants are basically all cheaters..."
"Huo Yun'er may not seem to have any template, but his upper limit is definitely not low."
"only···"
“It’s still outrageous.”
Lin Fan secretly marveled.
Xiao Ling'er remained silent.
In her sea of consciousness, Yao Lao felt a little embarrassed.
A moment ago, he was still saying that Xiao Ling'er would not be any worse than the holy land's direct disciple. But now, an ordinary errand disciple popped up, and his normal cultivation level was higher than Xiao Ling'er.
"this···"
How embarrassing this is.
"I'll give you one last chance."
The other party put away his smile and said: "Leave, or fight me."
"Take action."
Xiao Linger's face was cold, but there was an unknown fire burning in her heart.
Being looked down upon? No problem.
But even our master was treated with such contempt, and there were even important people in the holy land who had clearly told us to go in. Yet, you, a menial disciple, humiliated us like this.
This is intolerable, what else can we not tolerate?
So what if they are disciples of the Holy Land?
So what if his normal cultivation level is higher than mine?
I, Xiao Ling'er...what do I have to fear!
She took a step forward, her heart agitated and a strange fire spread out.
"oh?"
"Strange fire?"
"Is this your confidence?"
The other party smiled faintly and said: "However, with your cultivation level, it is not enough if it is just the strange fire."
"You should strike first, otherwise, you won't have a chance."
You don’t even take the strange fire seriously?
What is the background of the holy land?
Xiao Linger gritted her teeth and said, "In that case, I'm sorry."
She was not at all arrogant.
The first move is the Nine Transformations of Immortal Fire!
Even within a short period of time, five changes were performed in succession!
His cultivation level instantly soared to the peak of the sixth level.
His whole body was filled with strange fire, even his eyes were filled with strange fire.
Tear!!!
Lightning flashes.
Xiao Ling'er was divided into three.
The two clones rubbed their hands together to create a huge sun that burned the sky.
The deity clasped his hands together, and a five-colored lotus slowly took shape.
There was still a slight smile on the other person's lips.
only···
A drop of cold sweat involuntarily slid down the temple.
Xiao Linger's aura suddenly surged, and the terrifying fluctuations contained in these three attacks, even though she was a disciple of the Holy Land, she did not dare to be arrogant anymore.
And Xiao Ling'er...
Really angry.
She is not afraid of cold eyes.
But it is not acceptable to look down on our Master and our entire Lanyue Sect!
Since you are so arrogant, and since your holy land is so powerful, and you said that I would have no chance if you attacked, then... I will go all out, and you should be able to stop me, right?!
She didn't speak.
But the meaning in his eyes is beyond words.
“How terrible.”
Huo Yun'er hid behind Lin Fan and stuck out her tongue: "Ling'er is angry."
"Master, won't you stop me?"
“No need.”
Lin Fan shook his head slightly.
Xiao Ling'er would indeed listen to what I said.
But at a time like this, it's really unnecessary.
This journey is not going to be smooth sailing. A little fighting won't be a big problem as long as there are no casualties.
The worst that could happen is that you can just retreat and not use the Moon Swallowing Immortal Art for the time being.
What's more, there must be some connection between the Myriad Flowers Holy Land and the Moon-Grabbing Sect, otherwise, they would not help to 'safeguard' the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art.
Don’t say that they are just trying to save face. They are clearly embezzling money, but they claim that they are keeping it for safekeeping.
Because, there is no need at all.
If the Wanhua Holy Land wants it, who can say no?
So what if they robbed him? No one dared to gossip about him.
What's more, would a holy land lack such a "immortal method"?
Therefore, in Lin Fan's opinion, there must be some kind of connection between the Lan Yue Sect and the Wan Hua Holy Land. With this connection, as long as he and Xiao Ling'er don't go too far, the relationship between the two sides should not deteriorate too much.
Even in Lin Fan's opinion, perhaps this is a test!
Otherwise, why did the important person just let him and others go in, but why did a mere errand disciple dare to stop them, and why did the important person not speak or give orders again?
Obviously, this was tacitly agreed.
"Or maybe..."
"In their opinion, if you can't even beat a chores disciple, you have no right to bring the Moon Swallowing Immortal Art back, right?"
"after all···"
"We agreed to keep it for safekeeping."
"If you can't even beat a errand disciple, how can you keep it yourself? You can't keep it even if you take it back, so why not leave it in the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land?"
With many thoughts in mind, Lin Fan did not speak to stop it.
It was at this moment that Xiao Ling'er took action!
Two big suns appeared in the sky and a lotus flower bloomed.
Just a moment.
A large area was covered by the blazing strange fire, and everything inside was devoured by the strange fire.
“The clouds in the sky are moving!”
The other party also moved.
Although he was just a menial disciple, his skills were extremely astonishing when he took action.
In just a moment, a large number of auspicious clouds appeared.
"Turning the tide!"
Boom!!!
Thunder roared and spiritual rain poured down, almost extinguishing even the strange fire.
However, the Immortal Devouring Flame suddenly surged at this moment.
It devoured the spiritual rain, strengthened itself, and became even more ferocious.
The other party's color changed.
Feeling that it was difficult to continue, he had no choice but to use secret techniques to move away from the sea of fire.
Crack!
The jade hairpin behind her head broke, and her long black hair fell down, making her look quite embarrassed...
“···”
For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward and solemn.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said nothing.
Xiao Ling'er was secretly surprised, thinking: "The Holy Land is so powerful? How can a chores disciple of the same age as me escape unscathed from my all-out attack?"
“Come again!”
She growled, somewhat unconvinced.
I have been through so much, how many disasters have I encountered?
How many opportunities are there?
After persisting for a long time and struggling countless times, I finally have the strength I have today. I thought I was no weaker than those saints and saintesses.
But after using all his strength to attack, he was unable to defeat a menial disciple from the Holy Land?
Xiao Ling'er was in a heavy mood, but at the same time, her fighting spirit was even higher.
Even if I can't defeat her in one blow, at least I can't be defeated by her.
She took out a pill and was about to swallow it.
“···”
The other party's face suddenly changed and his eyelids twitched wildly.
"Wait a minute!"
"You can go in now."
Xiao Ling'er froze, her brows furrowed, "Why? The winner between you and me has not yet been decided!"
"I, Xiao Ling'er, never need anyone's pity. Come on, let's fight with all my strength. If I can't defeat you, I will never enter!"
other side:"···"
"!!!"
Do you want to look at what you are talking about?!
What do you mean the winner hasn’t been decided yet?
If I hadn't had a life-saving object that took my place and moved me out, I would have been completely destroyed, okay? You tell me the winner hasn't been decided yet?!
Or do you think that the status of us menial disciples is so high that each of us has more than one of these life-saving items?
I paid a huge price and completed many tasks to get this life-saving item!
As a result, you broke it into pieces in one go!
In fact, if it didn't have the ability to move, even if it could save my life, I wouldn't be able to survive.
At the end, you still say the outcome is undecided?
What's the matter?
Are you blind?
Or does it count only if you kill me or I admit defeat myself?
I don't want to save face!
"No, that's not necessary."
"I don't mean to fight you to the death."
She said, "You have proved yourself qualified to enter with that strike just now. Go ahead."
"The elders are waiting for you."
Xiao Ling'er still didn't move a step, but looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "I never wanted any qualifications, I just wanted to fight with you and win!"
"!!!"
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, you are the best.
What you want is not the qualification, but to abuse me, right?
How fresh!
I'm just a menial disciple. Do you really have to be like this?
and···
Are people outside so cruel now?
Isn't it said that the first-ranked disciples of those second-rate sects outside may not be able to match the menial disciples like us? Even the top-ranked ones can compete with the saints of ordinary first-rate sects.
As a result, this disciple from a third-rate sect jumped out and killed me instantly!
She is even not happy???
this···
What went wrong?
Are the deacons and elders in the holy land unable to keep up with the times, or is there something wrong with Xiao Ling'er?
Before she could figure it out, Xiao Ling'er stepped forward again and said, "Go ahead!"
“I’m never afraid of any challenge.”
"Let me see the strength of the disciples of the Holy Land!"
This is outrageous and too much!
Her brows twitched wildly.
He suspected that Xiao Ling'er was deliberately humiliating him.
You defeated me in seconds, in seconds!!!
But you just keep on biting me, and want to humiliate me and make me admit defeat myself, right?
OK, OK, OK.
I just admit it.
It’s no big deal!
我一个杂役弟子而已···
有本事你挑战外门，内门，乃至亲传弟子去！
她张了张嘴，足足数次，才终于蹦出几个字来：“我已败了，你们进去吧。”
萧灵儿：“···？”
火云儿：“啊？”
林凡摇头一笑：“走吧，进去。”
“师尊？”
两女不解。
林凡却是道：“方才那断裂的发簪，足以说明一切。”
“若非如此，她只怕已然丧命了。”
“啊？！”
两女吃惊。
萧灵儿识海中，药姥略微放松下来，也不觉得尴尬了，道：“你师尊说的没错，那发簪，即是保命之物，也是替死之物。”
“发簪断裂，便等同于她已死过一次了。”
“甚至同时，还将她挪移到攻击范围之外。”
“否则，在方才你那全力一击之下，她恐怕得死上三五次。”
“方才为师还以为数千年过去，万花圣地已经发展到如此地步，就是一个杂役弟子都强横如斯，如今看来，倒也没那般惊人。”
“修为的确很高。”
“但结合此地的环境，倒也能够理解。”
“而要论战力，只是杂役弟子，也无法学到多少功法、顶尖秘术，奇遇、机缘也远不如你，自然不可能是你的对手。”
“但其内门，乃至亲传弟子，却必然是另外一种模样。”
“你也切不可大意才是。”
“老师放心，弟子绝不会大意，更不会轻视任何圣地之人。”
萧灵儿撤去仙火九变，顿感一阵虚弱。
好在开启时间不长，也仅仅是有些虚弱与疲惫罢了，问题不大。
这一战，虽然有些‘虎头蛇尾’。
赢的也颇为轻松，但她却真正了解到圣地的可怕。
一个杂役弟子尚且如此惊人，外门、内门、甚至是亲传弟子乃至圣女，又该何等恐怖？
自然不可能有轻视之心。
······
“小姑娘。”
也就是此刻。
林凡上前，乐呵呵道：“打听个事儿，我们进入圣地之后，往哪边走？”
“···”
对方无奈，也不敢在给任何脸色看，连道：“林宗主，在下宁巧巧，直呼名讳便可。”
“入内之后，自然会有人指引，还请无需担心。”
火云儿：“···”
“所以，果然得打一顿才听话？”
宁巧巧有些尴尬，却并不恼，接话道：“并非是被打一顿才听话，而是这个世界本就强者为尊。”
“圣地高不可攀，身为同辈众人，若是连我一个杂役弟子都无法击败，又有什么资格入内？”
“这也并非针对你等。”
“而是规矩向来如此。”
“规矩。”
火云儿唏嘘，道：“你们长老都已开口让你放我等进去，你却仍然拦在这里，却说是规矩？”
“潜规则罢了。”
宁巧巧笑道：“否则，为何我宗长老、高层，未曾出言阻拦？”
火云儿：“···”
还真是。
所以，圣地就是这般高高在上吗？
“师尊。”
她低声道：“咱们此行，只怕会遭受不少刁难。”
“不急。”
林凡回应：“兵来将挡，水来土掩。”
“进去吧。”
“是，师尊。”
火云儿上前开路。
入万花圣地山门之后，眼前的一切，豁然开朗。
景色比从外面看来，还要美上许多。
那充裕的元灵之气，几乎是争先恐后往身体里灌！
三人尽皆吃惊。
萧灵儿忍不住道：“若是能在此修炼，我们的修行速度，只怕至少能提升两倍以上！”
“这，便是圣地底蕴么？”火云儿吃惊：“难怪一个杂役弟子便有如此惊人的修为，这已经超越所谓的洞天福地了！”
洞天福地，对任何修士而言，都不是什么陌生概念。
简单来说，便是‘资源丰富’、‘元气充裕’、且拥有某种‘特效’之地。
最是适合修仙之人隐居修炼、或是当做自身洞府。
只是，仙武大陆太过‘璀璨’，修士众多，这类洞天福地早已被人瓜分殆尽，都是‘名花有主’之地。
但···
哪怕是让诸多修士争抢的那些上好洞天福地，都比不过此地！
甚至···
这都并非是其‘内门’。
只是山门处而已。
管中窥豹，可见一斑。
“这，就是圣地底蕴啊。”
林凡也是不由低语：“不说其他，仅仅是这片地界，便足以让圣地高高在上，俯瞰芸芸众生了。”
在这种地方修炼，真就是‘猪’都能起飞！
虽然未必能飞到多高。
但能‘飞’，却是必然的。
“也难怪，这么多年来，从未听说过有任何一流势力能将圣地取而代之。”
“这差距，太大了。”
这一刻，他有些唏嘘，且无语。
再与自家那一亩三分地相对比。
好嘛~
一比一个不知声。
实在是没法比。
不过，林凡倒也没感到气馁。
恰恰相反，他反而更有动力了，也有了全新目标。
“如果将这一切都看做是一场游戏，以前我的目标或许只是活下去，顺便带领揽月宗重回巅峰。”
“那么现在。”
“目标可以更新了。”
“而若这一切，都是现实···”
林凡目光幽幽，直视远方的空中楼阁，淡然一笑。
“三位，请随我来。”
又是一名杂役弟子凭空出现，她穿着宁巧巧同款服饰，对三人行了个道礼，并在一旁引路：“圣母大人已等候多时。”
当代万花圣母？！
林凡三人对视一眼，都有些惊讶。
本以为只是一位长老负责此事，方才宁巧巧也说是‘长老’。
但此刻，却是去见圣母？
而且···
见圣母就见圣母吧。
等候多时是个什么情况？
“她早已知晓我等会来？”
“在下不知。”这杂役弟子轻笑道：“我不过是一杂役弟子，怎会知晓圣母大人之事？”
“不过这仙武大陆，我家圣母大人不知之事，应当不多。”
闻言，林凡暗暗撇嘴。
好家伙，你这话，摆明了是说你家圣母啥都知道呗？
不过，堂堂万花圣地圣母，有如此手段，似乎也并不奇怪？
跟随这名杂役弟子腾云驾雾约莫半柱香时间后，她止步：“圣母就在前面的洞府之中，你们自行前往即可。”
“我等杂役弟子，没有特许，不能靠近的。”
“有劳。”
林凡点头，随即靠近前方那看似平凡的洞府。
萧灵儿有意将林凡护在身后，后者却是摇头一笑：“不必如此。”
“这等存在，纵然并非第九境‘大帝’，也定然拥有第九境战力，若是她想动手，无需如此。”
“何况，我等谁也挡不住。”
闻言，萧灵儿只能默默退到林凡身后。
进入古朴且平凡的洞府，才发现，这洞府也运用了须弥于芥子相关法术，外表看去不觉有什么，其内却是别有洞天。
仙气氤氲之中，亭台楼阁若隐若现，如那仙家场所。
“揽月宗林凡，携弟子前来拜会。”
林凡并未乱闯，朗声开口。
“过来吧。”
嗡。
仙气自行分开，三人眼前出现一条只能容一人同时通过的羊肠小道。
三人接连随着小道而行，复行数十步，豁然开朗，好似换了另外一个世界。
花香扑鼻。
放眼望去，不知多少种灵花争相斗艳。
万花丛中，一女子盘膝而坐，如万花之中最娇艳那一朵，让万花臣服、朝拜。
她面容清秀、容貌绝世，眸子开合之间，竟有好似有无数星辰在瞳孔之中流逝，一眼万年！
“你们来了。”
她开口，如万花共鸣，轻柔、温婉，却又不失霸气。
“算算日子，你们也该来了。”
“万花圣母？”
林凡拱手。
“万花圣母，顾星怜。”
她点头：“坐。”
挥手间，灵花竟是宛若活了过来一般，其中一部分相互交织，化作鲜花蒲团。
接着，这些灵花竟是挣扎着自行拔起根须，宛若长了腿一般，跑到林凡三人身后，再度扎根。
惊讶，却不惊慌。
林凡轻飘飘盘膝坐在鲜花蒲团之上。
萧灵儿与火云儿也随之坐下，只是，她们的位置比林凡靠后一个身位。
“圣母知道我们会来？”
虽然在此之前全然不认识，但至少现在看来，对方态度还不错，还让自己等人坐下说，礼数已经算是到位了。
既如此，林凡自然也不必扭扭捏捏。
“你们揽月宗近几年的变化，我有所耳闻。”
顾星怜微微颔首：“倒是未曾想到你们揽月宗竟然还有一线生机。”
“阴极阳生、否极泰来。”
“若是能抓住这次机会，重回巅峰也不无可能，倒是可喜可贺。”
这话，让三人都有些诧异。
林凡暗道古怪。
这位圣母也未免太好说话了些！
还可喜可贺？
须知，当初秒了揽月宗的，可就是你们万花圣地啊~
这其中，到底有什么隐情？
见他们诧异，顾星怜自顾自道：“你们此行，应当是想取回吞月仙功？”
“不瞒圣母，的确如此。”
林凡点头。
后者不置可否，玉手抬起，反掌之间，一个玉简出现在其掌心。
“吞月仙功就记载在这玉简之内。”
“想取回，倒也简单。”
“回答我一个问题。”
林凡面不改色，暗道果然。
看似简单，甚至可以说比想象中还要顺利，但实际上，却仍然存在考验。
显然，这个问题便是重中之重。
答得好，应当的确是一帆风顺。
若是答不好···
恐怕是~
正如林凡猜测。
顾星怜接着道：“若是你们的答案令我满意，吞月仙功任由你们取走，甚至，我还可送你们一份见面礼。”
“可若是不能令我满意。”
“吞月仙功留下。”
“你们，也留下。”
“···”
林凡抬头：“若是不能令你满意，我留下，我的两名弟子随你走。”
“你这稻草人的确巧妙，但这里，乃是万花圣地。”顾星怜淡淡开口。
稻草人？
萧灵儿与火云儿诧异。
师尊···
竟然是稻草人？！
药姥残魂巨震。
“这怎么可能？！一路走来，我都未曾发现半点端倪，这？！”
“什么时候？”
萧灵儿目露精光，心道：“老师，会不会师尊本就是一位大能，我们接触的，自始至终，都只是其稻草人分身而已？”
“这？！”
药姥惊道：“应当并非如此，否则，那也未免太过骇人了些！”
“这倒也是，不过老师，师尊只是一个稻草人便有第五境修为，那他本尊，又该多强？！”萧灵儿期待。
她并不认为林凡是贪生怕死，用一个稻草人坑害自己与火云儿。
顾星怜接着道：“在外面，或许我看不穿，但此地乃我之主场，你还瞒不过我。”
林凡面不改色：“本尊还有要事，暂且不便前来。”
“你没的选，若是答案不能令我满意，你们尽皆留下。”
顾星怜摆摆手。
接着随手一抛，吞月仙功玉简便就这般漂浮在其身侧。
“不过在那之前，我却是需要对你们讲个故事。”
“万余年前，有一男、一女。”
“女子才情绝世、旷古烁今，普天之下，才情在其之上者，找不出几人来。”
“男子也是绝世之姿，孤身一人、几乎横扫当世，打败诸多强敌，从无到有创建一方大教，更是在第八境之时便自创仙法，惊艳了一个时代。”
“他们数次交手，各有胜负，但更多时候，却是平分秋色。”
“一来二去，二者互生情愫。”
“为了他，女子愿意抛弃一切，无论是如天一般高的身份，亦或是号令天下的权力，甚至是自己的未来。”
“虽有无尽阻力，但她天真的以为，正所谓所爱隔山海、山海皆可平。”
“只要真心相爱，一切阻碍都不在话下。”
顾星怜微微一顿：“为此，她不惜与自己的师尊、弟子、宗门、乃至过去的一切决裂。”
“本以为这会是一场可歌可泣、流传千古、为无数人所津津乐道的凄美爱情故事，毕竟，他们的结局，有极大概率会凄凉收场。”
“可结果，却就在女子准备不惜一切与男子私奔之时，那男子，却突然移情别恋。”
说到这里，顾星怜第一次出现情绪波动，虽然很快便被压制，但却仍然被林凡捕捉到。
林凡不语。
但心里却跟明镜儿似的，显然，这个负心汉的故事，与顾星怜有关。
或许她并非故事中的女主。
但···
必然与女主有关！
“曾经的海誓山盟、曾经的花前月下，尽皆化为梦幻泡影。”
“曾经有多相爱，其后，恨意便有多深。”
“因爱生恨，不外如是。”
顾星怜冷静下来，接着讲述这个故事：“其后，双方又是多次交手，本以为他们会打生打死，最终，以其中一方身死道消，或是双双殒命而终结。”
“却不曾想，不知为何，在某一天，他们两人，竟然成为情敌。”
说到这里，顾星怜不由唏嘘。
“原有的一切，都乱了套。”
“而女子的师尊以及背后势力不愿让这个污点流传出去，便要将那男子及其有关的一切尽皆抹去。”
“但此时的女子却反倒是于心不忍。”
“最后一次私下联系男子。”
“男子得知此事之后，不愿拖累身边之人，便与其商议主动，他主动出击赴死，只求女子能保住他所创建的宗门。”
“女子···答应了。”
林凡：“···”
所以，这难道就是揽月宗创教祖师与万花圣地的渊源？那个女子，曾是万花圣地之中地位极高的一名弟子？
也正因如此，揽月宗才会主动挑战万花圣地，而后被秒。
惊才绝艳的创教祖师消亡，揽月宗也因此而逐渐衰落，好在那女子如约保下了揽月宗，但其后，揽月宗被诸多虎视眈眈的势力针对···
或许，揽月宗之所以未曾断绝传承，也是与那女子的承诺有关？
不过这事儿，总感觉有些乱啊。
不是那种乱七八糟的乱，而是奇奇怪怪的乱。
林凡微微皱起眉头：“故事到此为止？”
“倒也还有一些。”
她幽幽道：“他主动赴死，但那一战之后，却是所有人都消失了。”
“所有人？”
“对。”
“男子、女子，以及他们的新欢，尽皆消失了。”
林凡：“？？？”
萧灵儿：“额。”
火云儿眨巴着眼，满脸问号。
总觉得哪里不对劲。
“你的问题总不至于是他们去了哪里吧？”林凡询问。
顾星怜轻轻摇头：“他们的结局，若非尽皆战死、共赴黄泉，便只剩下一种可能，而那种可能，我并不想去探究。”
“我想问的是。”
“那个男人，为何会变心？”
“我能确定，故事中的女子，乃是那个时代最为惊艳的女子，没有之一。”
“他为何会移情别恋？”
“那个女子，又究竟有什么魔力？”
“我需要一个理由，一个正当，且能说服我的理由。”
“若能说服我，吞月仙功你们带走。”
“若是不能，你们尽皆留下。”
顾星怜说完，便不再多言，只是淡淡看着他们，等待答案。
火云儿麻了。
这谁能知道啊这？
何况，我们都不知道当事人是谁，如何回答？
“圣母前辈，晚辈斗胆询问，那个男子后来所倾心的女子是谁？”
你总得告诉我们当事人是谁吧？
不然我们哪儿知道她有什么优点？
而且···
她感觉自己的小脑袋瓜子滴溜溜直转。
‘前任’女子乃是那个时代最惊艳的女子，还没有之一？什么样的女子才有如此气魄，为天下之最？
嘶！
突然，她看向顾星怜，瞳孔爆发十级大地震。
若是有哪个女子敢说自己冠绝一个时代、天下无双，那么，谁会比万花圣地圣母更具有这个资格吗？
莫说是他。
就是林凡都怀疑眼前这位圣母就是故事中的女主角。
疑似···
揽月宗创教祖师前女友！
但不对啊。
他突然反应过来，故事的结局是他们四个人尽皆消失了。
所以，除非她说谎，否则不可能是故事中的女主人公。
正疑惑，却见顾星怜摇头：“不知。”
“若是知晓，我或许便不会执着于此事了。”
林凡三人无语。
顿感一个头两个大。
好家伙，你都不知道故事中的女主人公的‘情敌’到底是谁，却让我们说出她的优点，或是男主人公倾心的理由来？
我看你是在为难我胖虎！
林凡心思急转。
“可···这种情况下，总感觉说什么都是扯犊子。”
“天赋？容貌？身段？都说了天下第一，惊艳一整个时代，自然不会弱于第三者，那么，只能是性格？”
“但说服力明显不足。”
“总不能说是‘技术’吧？”
“若是被她当成污言秽语、或是大胆调戏她，还不尽皆葬身于此？”
林凡绞尽脑汁，却依旧未曾想出一个合适理由。
但就在此时，萧灵儿悄然举手：“圣母前辈，晚辈斗胆，也有个小问题。”
众人皆看向她。
林凡暗自琢磨着，自己出发之前卜过一卦，若是单独前来，成功率几乎为零，但带上她们两人，却又堪称顺利~
或许，关键点就在这个问题之上？
“若是如此，回答出问题的人，应该是她们闺蜜二人吧？”
林凡不由期待。
“说。”
顾星怜淡淡道：“你们每人可问我三个与故事有关的问题，若是与故事有关且我知晓，自然会告诉你们。”
“若是我也不知，自然只能你们自己去思考。”
“我只有一个问题。”
萧灵儿面色有些古怪，看了看火云儿，在对方不解的目光中，才幽幽道：“其实，自从将这个故事听到一半时，我就觉得很怪。”
“我也有这种感觉！”火云儿连忙补充。
林凡随之点头。
他是认真的，真感觉很怪。
可到底是怪在哪儿，他一时之间却也说不出个所以然来。
“哪儿怪？”
顾星怜反问。
萧灵儿没有正面回答，而是道：“圣母前辈可曾有过道侣或是心上人？”
“自然没有。”
顾星怜冷哼道：“道侣？心上人？”
“只不过会拖累我等修炼的速度、影响我等心性罢了！”
“怎么，莫非你有？”
"But from what I can see from your aura, you are still a perfect body."
Gu Xinglian said that she would not fall for it.
So what if I have never been in love? Don’t even think of mocking me as a single person!
Besides, aren't you a virgin? Don't try to fool me with nonsense like love doesn't need a reason, love is love, not love is not love, etc.
There was no need to say these words explicitly, but she was sure that Xiao Ling'er could understand them.
The latter did understand, but did not respond. Instead, he said, "In this case, it is understandable that you ignored this 'strangeness'."
Then he added: "I am indeed a virgin, and I don't have a Taoist partner or a lover."
“But I have a best friend…”
Her voice trailed off and her face turned red.
Then he said: "Anyway..."
"Venerable Saint, there is one thing I don't understand in the story."
“That is: Why do the hero and heroine become rivals in love?”
Everyone was stunned.
Huoyun'er was confused.
At this moment, it was Lin Fan's pupils that trembled.
Gu Xinglian hadn't reacted yet: "Why not?"
"He fell in love with someone else and stole the person he loved..."
"right."
Xiao Linger interrupted and said, "That's where the problem lies."
"It's not a problem to fall in love with someone else, but it's a big problem to become a love rival!"
"I was thinking before, could it be that the third person between the hero and heroine also had a Taoist partner before, and then, they fell in love with each other..."
Good job.
It’s quite fun to play.
But, that’s not the truth, right?
Lin Fan muttered secretly.
He had already guessed what Xiao Ling'er was going to say.
All I can say is...
Not only are the two pairs separated, reassembled, but they also explode.
"But the problem is that this kind of relationship can't be called a love rival."
"After all, the premise of being a love rival is that two people fall in love with the same person, and one of them, or both of them, cannot get the love they want, so they become enemies."
"That's right." Gu Xinglian nodded.
This is indeed the definition of a love rival, there is nothing wrong with it.
"But···"
Xiao Ling'er looked even more strange, and murmured, "But, they are a man and a woman."
"How is it possible to fall in love with the same person?"
"If you really fall in love, is this person a man or a woman?"
This is indeed the problem.
Lin Fan's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.
Huoyun'er held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little shy.
Gu Xinglian was completely stunned.
The red lips opened wide.
After being absent-minded for a long time, she slowly came back to her senses. Her red lips opened and closed dozens of times before a syllable came out of her mouth: "This?!"
A road never imagined!
Or rather, she had never thought about it.
No thought!
I have always wondered why the hero in the story could be so cruel that he would not love the best heroine in the world but fall in love with someone else, causing the heroine to experience all kinds of pain and disasters.
But after being reminded by Xiao Ling'er, she suddenly reacted.
yes!
In the second half of the story, the two become rivals in love?
Even fought several times over this matter?
But that's not right!
You two, a man and a woman, can be rivals in love, and even fight each other several times to "steal someone", but the problem is that you are a man and a woman, so what are you fighting for...
Is it a boy or a girl?
Seeing her confused, Xiao Ling'er continued, "So I was wondering, is there something wrong with this story? For example, was there some mistake when it was passed down orally?"
"impossible!"
Gu Xinglian stopped pretending and came clean: "Although I am not the heroine in the story, this is also my personal experience... This is the fact!"
"That···"
"There is only one possibility."
Xiao Ling'er pursed her red lips slightly.
"What is possible?"
Lin Fan put his hand on his forehead and said, "It may be a little messy and a little flowery, Holy Mother, are you sure you want to listen?"
"explain!"
She glared at the three of them.
