Chapter 315: Telling One's True Feelings to Another (Minor Revision)
As for the remaining one, it is the mushroom.
"Friday was in a coma for a few days, but he's fine. He can jump around again now." Lian Chengyue said, peeking at Ning Mingmei's face, "Master, is this mushroom a new variety that you cultivated?"
"It's not simple." Ning Mingmei said calmly, "Please be nicer to it."
?
"Help me down first and take a look at the white-haired man." Ning Mingmei quickly made his own judgment.
Lian Chengyue hurriedly helped him up: "Master, don't you want to go see Master Xiang?"
"It's not my turn to visit him yet. When Bai Ruoru arrives, she will of course go to see him." Ning Mingmei said, "Everything has its priorities."
Lian Chengyue said nothing more. He supported his master and walked amid the monks' stares. He held his head high and chest out, fearless, and regarded this as his supreme honor.
The white-haired man's tent was right next to Ning Mingmei's tent. He had woken up two days ago and was reading a book.
"Can you understand the words in this book?" Ning Mingmei suddenly asked, "This is the text from thousands of years later."
The man looked at Ning Mingmei, somewhat surprised: "The characters have evolved, but not too much, you can barely tell."
"Really? That's good - you don't have to leave." Ning Mingmei said to Lian Chengyue.
Lian Chengyue then stopped and stood beside Ning Mingmei. The white-haired man's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally turned into a slight frown.
"It seems that a lot has happened in the past few thousand years," he said.
"A lot of things did happen. The once powerful gods have become hermits trapped in the Fangcun Mountains. Apart from guarding the sword spirit in fear day and night, it is no longer possible for them to leave the mountains. The rumor that the goddess will save the world is known to the world. But look at the six realms today, evil creatures are rampant, which is no different from thousands of years ago." Ning Mingmei said.
The man lowered his eyes for a long time. It was obvious that he was greatly shocked by the current situation of the gods. He said: "There are no traces of the gods on earth today...?"
Ning Mingmei said: "If the traces of hiding in a small village for many years can be considered traces, then it is also a little trace."
The man said no more. He looked at Ning Mingmei and Lian Chengyue... and finally said, "I know you probably want to know something from me. But thousands of years ago, I was just a small figure among the gods. I'm sorry."
He is lying.
Lian Chengyue's knuckles crackled. He blinked his eyes, thinking that if he was the leader of this conversation, he would definitely hint at it and reveal the man's true identity through language contradictions.
Ning Mingmei said, "Really? Forget it then."
Lian Chengyue glanced at Ning Mingmei in surprise. Ning Mingmei said, "Then you should have a good rest first. Although I don't know how you fell into the blood abyss, it is a kind of luck that we rescued you. You probably don't know what has happened in the human world in the past few thousand years. I asked someone to bring some books for you, you can take a look. By the way, what should I call you?"
This also seemed to be beyond the expectations of the white-haired man. He said, "Mingqi."
Lian Chengyue followed Ning Mingmei out of the tent. He had a lot to say in his heart. He wanted to tell Ning Mingmei that this person was lying to him and that this person was not a good person... However, as soon as he entered Ning Mingmei's own tent, he was blocked by a mushroom.
"father!!"
Lian Chengyue:? ?
father? !
Mushroom cried loudly and threw himself on Ning Mingmei. It said, "Dad, you're still alive. I thought I'd never see you again!"
Ning Mingmei: "It's not that easy for me to die. Have you read any books these days?"
Mushroom nodded vigorously: "I have read it, and I have memorized a lot of poems..."
The man and the mushroom interacted in a friendly manner, only Lian Chengyue was in a trance. Finally, the mushroom jumped back to its tent. Lian Chengyue saw that it couldn't jump over a small slope, so he said in a friendly manner: "I'll help you."
He gave the mushroom a hand, but in fact he was secretly feeling the soul of the mushroom. Soon, a strange look appeared in his heart.
"How strange." He heard Shi Ruzhuo say.
Shi Ruzhuo has been traveling around with Lian Chengyue over the years, and with the support of Lian Chengyue's spiritual power, his cultivation has improved a lot.
"Yes, that's true." Lian Chengyue also said.
He was the reincarnation of a sword spirit, and his perception of souls was even more sensitive than that of ordinary people. He could feel that there was no human soul in the mushroom's body. What supported it seemed to be a very mixed obsession. This obsession is not made up of the obsession of a single person.
What on earth is this mushroom that Guan Ning Mingmei calls dad? ?
When he returned to the tent, Ning Mingmei had already started reading. Lian Chengyue hesitated for a moment: "Master, this mushroom..."
"I brought it back from Spark Island." Ning Mingmei said.
? !
"star……"
"Hush." Ning Mingmei glanced at him and said, "I have only told you about this matter. You are not allowed to tell anyone else."
Lian Chengyue became excited instantly. Ning Mingmei said, "Because someone is watching the secrets of Spark Island. She is afraid that the secrets of Spark Island will be known by anyone."
"Master, the things inside this mushroom seem to be unusual." Lian Chengyue finally made up his mind and said.
Ning Mingmei: "Well, you can help it with its homework from now on."
?
Lian Chengyue opened his mouth, and finally, he waved his hand to open the silent barrier.
He gritted his teeth and made a great determination: "Master, that white-haired man is lying. I know him. He is not some unknown little person in the God Clan. He was once a swordsmith in the God Clan. In the God Clan, only those with great magical powers and extremely respected people can take on this position."
Ning Mingmei said: "I know. How can a small person live in the blood abyss for thousands of years?"
Lian Chengyue kept saying this, and finally, he said, "And he is not an ordinary swordsmith. He is the last swordsmith of the Gods... The sword that the Goddess used to open the Heavenly Gate was forged by him."
"The gods have high hopes for the goddess. To open the Heavenly Gate, we must use the best sword, the sword that best matches the goddess. Therefore, the swordsmith must be someone who grew up with the goddess and knows her very well. Master, he is lying. He is deliberately concealing the gods' affairs." Lian Chengyue said through clenched teeth.
Ning Mingmei stopped flipping through the book, and said thoughtfully, "But why did he lie to me? He has made great contributions to the opening of the Heavenly Gate. As long as he reveals his identity, he will be highly respected in this era. Why would he lie to me?"
"Because he is a swordsmith, he knows more about the sword than anyone else. So he can tell at a glance that you, Master, are carrying the sword bone..."
After saying this, Lian Chengyue knew that she had no chance to turn back. But he still said the next sentence: "You can tell at a glance that I am the reincarnation of the sword spirit of the divine sword."
After saying this, Lian Chengyue thought he would be extremely uneasy and nervous. But he found that he felt much more relaxed.
Silence flowed between the two. Ning Mingmei stared at him, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Oh? Interesting." He said, "Are you the reincarnation of the sword spirit of the divine sword?"
"...Yes." Lian Chengyue said resignedly, "Thousands of years ago, I was chosen to sacrifice the sword. Hundreds of years ago, I broke free from the shackles of Lingshui Village and reincarnated into the body of the son of the God Clan priest... In other words, I took over another body. And I was originally the reincarnation of a demon..."
"The reincarnation of the devil?"
"Um……"
"The demon camp?"
“Not really…”
"Oh." Ning Mingmei said, "You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will expel you from my sect?"
"I am very useful, Master."
"Why are you telling me this all of a sudden? You clearly had the choice not to tell me."
"Master, didn't you know about this a long time ago?" Lian Chengyue said, "I thought Master knew that I was a sword spirit a long time ago, but he didn't know the details of my life story."
"Why are you telling me your detailed life story now?"
"because……"
Perhaps it is because the fact that the essence of the "Sword-wielding Elder" is just a cauldron used to carry sword bones is too cruel and too much like an absurd joke.
Lian Chengyue didn't want to reveal this fact. He didn't want Ning Mingmei to feel that Ning Mingmei was discovered by his own disciples. Originally, he was just a tool for Qingji Sect. Ning Mingmei is such a proud person. What would he think when faced with such a fact?
Especially these words, which were said by his apprentice Lian Chengyue.
So, he has to say it, and he must say it. He wanted to tell Ning Mingmei that he was also a part of the magic sword, and that he was not there voluntarily, and that he had also been used by others. He is the sword spirit, and Ning Mingmei is the sword bone. Only in this way do they sound like an accomplice, only in this way do they sound like a perfect match.
Only in this way can we achieve "unification" instead of "revealing".
Ning Mingmei seemed to be unaware of this. He actually leaned back and looked at him, his eyes casually saying, "What do you think of the Qingji Sect letting the sword-wielding elder be the bearer of the sword bone? Do you think this is cruel?"
He even sounded interested.
"very……"
"Tell me what you really think." Ning Mingmei stared at him, "If this person is not me."
"...It's a very effective method. It's really useful to use this method to suppress the magic sword." Lian Chengyue said, "If this happened to another person, I would just think that my opponent is very smart. But it happened to you..."
I just feel that this is a complete humiliation for you.
"Humiliation? I was brought back from Changle Gate because I was useful to Qi Miancheng." Ning Mingmei said, "Humiliation in life starts from the womb. Some people are born as 'gentlemen' who are highly regarded by everyone, while others are born as wheels stuck in the mud..."
"Qi Miancheng is not a gentleman!" Lian Chengyue suddenly looked up at Ning Mingmei, and sneered, "Master, I am not a gentleman either, I am a villain. But I know clearly that a true gentleman will not eat the flesh and blood of others to help himself rise, while pretending to be righteous. Master, for so many years I really can't figure it out. Qi Miancheng is the official leader of Qingji Sect, and he is fully aware of what happened to you. How can a person like him be worthy of your attention..."
"You will know in the future." Ning Mingmei said.
It wasn't a rebuttal, nor was it a request for him to shut up, but just a light remark. Although Lian Chengyue kept her mouth shut, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind: Could it be that Ning Mingmei really has feelings for Qi Miancheng?
This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it. It must be because Ning Mingmei was brainwashed by Qi Miancheng.
Lian Chengyue's murderous intent grew stronger and stronger. Ning Mingmei knows! He actually knew it completely! Qi Miancheng is such a person, so why should he pretend to be a gentleman in front of them!
From this moment on, Lian Chengyue officially began to murder Qi Miancheng. This was not only due to his unspeakable love for Ning Mingmei, but also because he believed that Ning Mingmei should also regard Qi Miancheng as the one who "oppressed" him. Lian Chengyue could see that Ning Mingmei had always been rebelling against the Grand Elder and the Qingji Sect that had treated him so badly in the past. If Ning Mingmei always showed mercy to Qi Miancheng, then Ning Mingmei's resistance would never be perfect and thorough.
"Why did the topic turn to Qi Miancheng?" Lian Chengyue was just thinking about it when she heard Ning Mingmei say impatiently, "I almost forgot, this is the big moment for you to confess your true identity to me."
Lian Chengyue's heart suddenly moved. He suddenly thought of something.
He revealed the shocking secret of his identity, but Ning Mingmei neither asked any further questions nor asked him to prove his identity. He accepted his secret calmly and confidently, as if he had it all figured out, and wanted to talk to him about their next plans without any pretense.
Could it be that Ning Mingmei already knew his true identity in detail?
When did it start?
He looked up at Ning Mingmei in surprise, only to see the latter sitting on the couch and observing him with an unfathomable look in his eyes. Lian Chengyue spoke unconsciously.
"Master, I really want to know... I've wanted to ask you for a long time, when did you start to know my true identity?"
