Chapter 178: Rebellion
Perhaps it was because their bones were useless, or perhaps it was because the priority of transformation was too low, the Wen mother and daughter did not suffer much during this period of time in Changjing. Therefore, Wen Sihui, who had mixed spiritual roots, woke up earlier than Wen Siheng.
In the past few days, every time she was awake, she always stayed by her brother's side, taking care of him meticulously.
Wen Sihui is younger than Wen Siheng. But because she has not yet established her foundation, she now looks like she is in her early thirties. Sometimes when people saw her standing next to Wen Siheng, they would be dazed for a moment and mistakenly think she was Wen Siheng's sister.
Today, she came to find Ning Mingmei.
"Elder Ning, I know that Dongji Mountain... has that kind of evil magic. They said that my brother's bones are soaked by Hunlun." She bit her lip and said, "...If there is no way to cure my brother, can you give my bones to my brother?"
Although it is a mixed spiritual root, it is at least clean. It is better for Wen Siheng to wake up than to sleep forever.
Ning Mingmei said: "Even if you change, you and Wen Siheng won't live long."
Big tears rolled down Wen Sihui's eyes. She whispered "Thank you, Elder Ning" and left.
She was still standing by Wen Siheng's bed, like a gray shadow.
Another gray shadow was already standing beside Ning Mingmei. The owner of the shadow is Chang Feichang. He walked here unknowingly, silently watching the brother and sister who seemed to be of different ages.
Ning Mingmei said: "Wen Sihui regretted it very much. She thought that if she could go back to the past, she would not have pursued becoming an immortal from the beginning. If that were the case, Wen Siheng would not have gotten into trouble."
"It's difficult. I don't think Wen Siheng would agree." Chang Feichang said, "You will stay young forever, but watching your loved ones grow old little by little and eventually leave you is the most painful torture in the world. Especially, Wen Sihui is his blood relative from the same mother."
Ning Mingmei looked at Chang Feichang's cheek. Judging from his appearance alone, Chang Feichang still looks like a young man. He said, "It seems that you have a deep understanding of this. Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet. How have your relatives been since you entered the Qingji Sect?"
Bai Ruoru talked about the Bai family, Xiang Wuxing mentioned the Xiang family, even Liang Jiansu talked about his past of escaping from marriage, and Ning Mingmei was a well-known orphan in Qingji Sect.
Among the twelve peak masters, only Chang Feichang's life experience remains shrouded in mystery.
"I was accepted by my master very early and entered the Qingji Sect. However, before entering the Qingji Sect, I was already in the late stage of foundation building." Chang Feichang said, "I have no mother and no father. Before entering the Qingji Sect, I lived in Yaochuan City."
Yaochuan City is the location of the Rebirth Auction House, and it is also the place where the disciples of Yanyun Tower disappeared before. Ning Mingmei asked, "No wonder you are so familiar with the casinos and brothels in Yaochuan City. Were you born there?"
Chang Feichang said: "No. I came here to escape the war when I was eight years old."
"Because of famine?" Ning Mingmei said.
"Because of the war." Chang said very succinctly, "In the war, all kinds of families will be affected."
"You fled to Yaochuan City alone?" Ning Mingmei shook his head. "This is a very long journey even for an adult."
"There was also a girl." Chang Feichang said, "She was only six years old at the time."
"She's your sister?"
Often very silent. After a while, he said, "We are not related by blood, but she is more important than relatives."
He added: "Her relatives died trying to save me."
Ning Mingmei said: "It must be very difficult for you two children to make a living in Yaochuan City."
"When we first arrived in Yaochuan City, we had no relatives. We did everything to survive. She was a girl, so she was more dangerous than me. She originally wanted to sell herself. That night, we kept walking on the street. If we didn't keep walking, we would freeze to death. The streets were full of sewage and the snow was heavy. We had nothing to eat and would starve to death. She said she wanted to sell herself as a slave so that I could have some money for the journey. I have some skills and can run faster than her, so I can continue to look for...her relatives for her." Chang Feichang said, "Then I saw a tavern. There were several young men in the tavern. It was so cold, they were drinking and eating mutton. One of the young men said that he hated someone. He asked who had a way to find someone to work so that he could kill that person. Those people said that it would take at least ten taels of silver to find such a person."
"And then?" Ning Mingmei said.
"So I went in. I told him that I only wanted three taels of silver. Just give me three taels of silver and I'll go kill that person. Because the family said that if she was sold there, they would give us three taels of silver. Then I said that before I went to kill the person, I wanted them to give us the plate of mutton on the table. Only when I was full would I have the strength to kill the person."
"The boys laughed. They obviously didn't believe it, but today was the winter solstice and they were in a good mood and willing to play this joke on me, so they handed me the plate. She and I shared the meat on the plate, half each. Then, I borrowed a knife and went to find the man - the man was easy to find. He was drunk in the backyard of a brothel. I let my hair down and stole a piece of clothing, making me look like a weak girl. She stood guard for me outside the door. I entered his room and he drunkenly wanted to hug me, and then, it was done." Chang Feichang said, "We took his token back to ask the boys for money. The boys were stunned, but still gave us the money."
At least, they did give money.
Ning Mingmei kept silent. He listened to Chang Feichang's supplement: "Now that I think about it, they are a group of good people. In addition to them, there was a middleman who was drinking alone in the tavern that day. Since then, we often find some work for him. Later, we found her relatives. In Yaochuan City, I practiced to the late stage of foundation building, and then I met my master. He accepted me as a disciple and brought me back to Qingji Sect. He is a rare... good man."
"I didn't expect your past to be so difficult." Ning Mingmei said.
Chang Feichang just remained silent: "Not bad."
"What about the girl?"
"She is now practicing in a small immortal sect." Chang Feichang said.
"Not bad." Ning Mingmei said, "At least she has enough spiritual roots to practice."
Chang smiled, which was very rare, although it was a shallow smile. Ning Mingmei added: "With such an experience, it can still take a hundred years to form a baby. Elder Chang is indeed a genius, but it's a pity..."
"I was attacked by my inner demon and nearly became possessed. I am very lucky to be able to maintain my cultivation at the Spiritual Transformation Stage." Chang Feichang lowered his eyes and said, "It's just..."
Ning Mingmei knew that Chang Feichang must be thinking of his master who had gone astray. He said, "My condolences."
Often very silent for a moment. He said, "Elder Ning."
"Um?"
“In fact, Elder Ning’s talent is not inferior to mine. In fact, Elder Ning’s bones are very similar to mine.” Chang Feichang said, “Elder Ning didn’t form a fetus until two hundred years later. It was because Elder Ning was delayed by Changle Sect.”
Lian Chengyue couldn't stay alone in Dongji Mountain.
Every day he helped Tang Wan and others treat the wounded in a low-key and humble manner. Hearing that Ning Mingmei had gone to Wen Siheng again, he handed over the list in his hand, took the medicine that Wen Siheng needed, and was about to enter the hospital.
But today, he was suddenly blocked by someone.
"Master Qi." Lian Chengyue knelt down and said.
He lowered his eyes and used his peripheral vision to observe the Qingji Sect's leader, who was dressed in white and looked high and mighty. This person always gave him an uncomfortable feeling. However, after he performed the ceremony, Qi Miancheng showed no intention of giving way.
Instead, he watched the two people talking in the courtyard with great interest.
In the courtyard, Chang Feichang and Ning Mingmei seemed to be talking about something. Lian Chengyue said politely, "Master Qi, I'm here to deliver something for Senior Brother Wen."
"Senior Brother Wen? You're calling me senior brother so soon. It seems that you really want to become my junior fellow disciple." Qi Miancheng said.
It was really horrifying to hear the bright and clear head of the Qingji Sect speak like this to a strange young man. Lian Chengyue just frowned at this moment. He rolled his eyes, wondering what Qi Miancheng meant.
What would that mean?
It seems that Qi Miancheng and Ning Mingmei have a close relationship. To most people, this remark was either a joke or a mockery of his arrogance.
But there didn't seem to be any likes or dislikes in Qi Miancheng's words. He looked at Lian Chengyue as if Lian Chengyue was just an object he used to provoke various reactions from Ning Mingmei - his focus was only on Ning Mingmei.
This made Lian Chengyue very unhappy, and she felt a little wary in her heart.
This is not what the legendary Master Qi, who is said to be profound and elegant, would say.
Sect Leader Qi gave him a very evil feeling, extremely evil. But everyone seems to be blind.
"Immortal Ning is so elegant and graceful, and I, the younger generation, admire him very much. A true immortal should be like Immortal Ning." Lian Chengyue said.
"My junior brother is so powerful, it's normal for you to like him." Qi Miancheng said as if he had suddenly realized something, "You want to be him, surpass him, and gain his recognition. He can see through you at a glance, knows the rules like the back of his hand, and can even use them to control anyone. But he doesn't have you in his eyes. This must make you, who always think highly of yourself, very uncomfortable, right?"
Lian Chengyue's face turned ugly now.
What's wrong with these people from the Qingji Sect? Each one speaks more rudely than the other. He said patiently, "I wonder what important matter Master Qi has? I still need to deliver medicine for Senior Brother Wen..."
"Coincidentally, I do the same."
"What?"
Qi Miancheng is also coming to deliver medicine to Wen Siheng?
Lian Chengyue was stunned for a moment, but soon he realized that Qi Miancheng was not talking about delivering medicine.
Yin Qi Miancheng was looking in the direction where Ning Mingmei and Chang Feichang were chatting. He narrowed his eyes, and a rare evil look similar to his own was revealed on his face.
"They still have to talk for a while. It's not convenient for you to go in at this time." Qi Miancheng smiled gently, as if it was all Lian Chengyue's illusion. "Just wait here for a while. But I see you like this..."
Lian Chengyue frowned, and he heard Qi Miancheng say again: "I'm not sure whether my junior brother is still willing to accept you."
Lian Chengyue: ...
This is Master Qi! So annoying!
…
"Changle Sect." Ning Mingmei clapped his palm lightly on his fist, "Elder Chang knows that I am the furnace tripod?"
"Yes." Chang Feichang said, "Changle Sect has never taught how to cultivate the furnace. If not, Elder Ning should have the qualifications to form an infant in a hundred years."
"It seems that Elder Chang knows a lot." Ning Mingmei said.
"Because my master is also a furnace tripod. Every generation of sword-wielding elders are also furnace tripods."
