Starting from Ten Times Zhang Sanfeng’s Talent, Those Things on Wudang Mountain 313 Bailing’s latest website: If Shushan disciples are not successful in cultivation and have a certain level of practice, they are not qualified to leave the mountain.
The man and woman in front of them, the man was only in his early twenties, and the woman was only twelve or three years old, yet they were allowed to come alone to slay the demons. They were obviously the elite among the disciples of their generation.
But precisely because of this, Meng Xiuyuan's sudden action shocked both of them.
However, the eight or nine-year-old child, whose true energy was extremely weak, was able to reach out and accurately grasp the hilt of the flying sword, blocking this powerful sword control technique.
Such an unnatural thing made them both horrified and deeply confused. They only felt that the child in front of them was very extraordinary.
"My disciple Tai Wu from Shu Mountain, under the orders of his mentor Dugu Sword Master, took his junior sister down the mountain to slay demons and practice.
I don’t know where you came from in the Immortal Mountain, which senior you studied under, and why do you want to stop the two of us?"
Na Taiwu's words were polite, but his voice was as upright as before. Standing on the flying sword with his two junior sisters, there was no sign that it was about to fall to the ground, and he made no secret of his wariness towards Meng Xiuyuan.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he felt that although the Taiwu in front of him was a bit reckless and arbitrary, he was not necessarily a bad person, so he did not want to break his skin with him, so he politely advised:
"My dear Meng Xiuyuan, I have occasionally gained some skills, but I have not yet entered the Immortal Sect.
The reason why I took action was that I felt there was some misunderstanding here, and I was afraid that everyone's impulse would lead to an irreversible tragedy.
Brother Taiwu, why are you so anxious to kill the demon? Why don't you listen to this..."
Just as Meng Xiuyuan was mid-sentence, the girl beside him suddenly interrupted and said to him with a sweet smile:
"Wow, it turns out your name is Meng Xiuyuan. It's such a nice name.
My name is Bai Ling, thank you for saving me."
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard the sound. He didn't know if the little girl was deliberately angry with Na Taiwu, or if she was really naive and unconventional. However, in order to bridge the relationship between the two parties, he didn't want to talk to the girl too much, so he just smiled and responded.
After making a sound, he raised his head to look at the two Shushan disciples in the sky and continued:
"I think this Lily girl has a good nature and will not hurt anyone without reason.
In addition, when she cast spells to deal with the villagers, she also obviously showed restraint and did not use heavy blows.
Why don't you two wait patiently for a while and listen to her explain the reasons clearly before making a decision?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan's polite persuasion had no effect at all. When Taiwu, who was standing on the flying sword, heard this, his face turned cold and he immediately said:
"Meng Shaoxia, there is no need to say any more.
What kind of girl is this? The monster around you is a monster that has hurt people.
Even if she talks in a brilliant way, the result will be the same.
It's like you meet tigers and jackals on the road and see them hurting people because they are protecting their cubs or looking for food. Do you want to let these harmful things go just because they have a legitimate reason?
The first priority in my life as a Shushan disciple is to slay demons and maintain peace in the world.
There is absolutely no reason to let go of these monsters who dare to attack humans and may harm people again in the future."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking that the person in front of him was really stubborn.
However, before he could refute, the lark beside him took the lead and shouted dissatisfiedly:
"Hmph, you are really unreasonable, much worse than Xiao Xiu.
If I hadn't been feeling unwell recently, I would have taught you a lesson!
Also, you see clearly, I am not a jackal, tiger or leopard.
His eyes were so bad, and he even said he wanted to slay demons..."
As she spoke, the lark's arms suddenly turned into a pair of huge wings, and they danced with a "swish" sound several times, emitting dots of golden light. It was extremely beautiful. Until all the birds in the surrounding woods were attracted, and they were in the sky above her head.
After circling and flying, Bai Ling finally had enough fun, and then his wings turned into lotus-white arms again. He pinched his waist with dignity and looked up at Taiwu.
Such a childish move not only made Meng Xiuyuan smile slightly, but also the two Shushan disciples in the sky were slightly moved by it.
"Senior Brother Taiwu, I think what this Meng Shaoxia said may be true.
This monster has a simple mind and does not have any hostility in it. It probably lives in seclusion deep in the mountains and forests and rarely comes into contact with human beings.
If it really does not have evil intentions, then we should give it more warnings and admonishments, and there is no need to use swords to solve problems..."
The little junior sister from Shushan looked young and cute, but she spoke calmly and calmly, advising her senior brother so earnestly.
After Taiwu heard this, he looked solemnly in the direction of Meng Xiuyuan and Bai Ling for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and sighed softly to the junior sister beside him:
"Cao Gu, this is your first time going down the mountain, and you still know too little about the world of transvestites.
Maybe this monster is really ignorant and does not mean to harm people, but since it has attacked humans, it has violated the great precept.
If we hold back and do not punish, it will only make other monsters learn about it, take chances, and despise our protection of the human race in Shushan.
Humans and monsters are competing for this world, one is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and there is no room for any concession..."
Taiwu seemed to have guessed that Meng Xiuyuan had a keen hearing and could clearly hear the conversation between him and his junior sister Cao Gu from a distance. Then he simply turned his head, looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said loudly:
"In ancient times, Chi You led the demon tribe to launch a war against the human race. The human race was weak and unable to defeat them. There were countless casualties and corpses littered the fields.
If it weren't for the help of the gods, the human race might have perished and become the food of the monster race.
For thousands of years since then, monsters in this world have eaten people and hurt people.
Such a feud, involving the survival of the human race, is far from comparable to the struggle between countries and nations in the human world. I, a disciple of Shushan, will never forget it.
Since this monster has hurt people, I must punish it.
If Meng Shaoxia wants to stand up for it, then I, Tai Wu, will have to offend him."
Meng Xiuyuan was touched when he heard the words. He glanced at the innocent and lovely Bai Ling beside him, and thought for a moment in silence. Then he slowly raised his head to look at Taiwu standing with a sword in the sky, and said solemnly:
"Forgive me for my short-sightedness. In my eyes, I only distinguish between good and evil, not between humans and monsters.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bailings are intelligent and can no longer be regarded as ordinary beasts.
If she really has the intention to harm others, I won't tolerate her without Brother Taiwu taking action.
But if she didn't do evil intentionally, then no matter what Brother Taiwu's reasons are, I can't see her suffer innocently."
Taiwu was quite surprised by Meng Xiuyuan's words. He stared at him for a long time, but finally he waved his sleeves and robes, waved away the junior sister Cao Gu beside him, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"I see that Meng Shaoxia is also a righteous man. In order to avoid any harm, we will decide the outcome with one move.
If anyone loses a move or a half, just retreat on your own."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the words, and after understanding the truth, he could only decide what was right or wrong, and simply replied:
"Okay, since Brother Taiwu really wants to fight with me, then come on.
You just want me to experience the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect’s sword-controlling skills in advance before I come to visit you.”
Taiwu was slightly stunned when he heard the words, as if he heard the hidden meaning in Meng Xiuyuan's words, but in the end he just said "be careful" softly, and immediately chanted a mantra.
The next moment, a huge stone ball burning with blazing flames suddenly formed above his head. Like a meteor, it shot towards Meng Xiuyuan at high speed.
Meng Xiuyuan's situation was quite unexpected. He didn't expect that this disciple of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect was good at five-spirit magic. This "Flying Fire Meteor" was obviously a combination of fire and earth magic, and the method was in the Witch Queen Lin.
Among the spells Qing'er passed down to Meng Xiuyuan, they are all relatively advanced.
With such a master of mixed magic, it is no wonder that Taiwu dared to propose a contest with Meng Xiuyuan after the flying sword was taken away.
"Xiao Xiuyuan, come with me quickly..."
When Bai Ling saw this spell, he was also frightened by its power, and quickly took Meng Xiuyuan's hand to take him away.
However, Meng Xiuyuan gently shook it away in an instant, and instead held the silver sword that he had just intercepted tightly in his hand.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
As he spoke, a ray of silver light shot out from Meng Xiuyuan's hand so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The next moment, a loud "boom" sound was heard, and the "flying fire meteor" burst into two halves from the center, suddenly losing its power and smashing into the woods below. And the silver sword thrown by Meng Xiuyuan trended.
Unabated, he still shot towards Taiwu in the distant sky.
Tai Wu was an expert in martial arts. He subconsciously used his luck and slightly deflected the flying silver sword, successfully dodging it from the side of his face.
But Meng Xiuyuan used more than brute force in this throw. Although the sharp sword energy on the sword was weak, it was very pure. Taiwu, who was unable to prevent it, felt a slight chill on his temples, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
Looking down, I saw that a strand of black hair had been broken and was drifting down towards my feet in the mountain wind.
"What a powerful sword, what a strong body. How can worldly martial arts be able to achieve this..."
Taiwu lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly. Without saying any more words, he turned around and left with his sword in the air. The young junior sister Caogu on the side looked at Meng Xiuyuan from afar and then left with him as well.
…
"Wow, Xiao Xiuyuan, you are so powerful, you actually drove away the bad guys?!
Brother Bai didn't have the ability like you back then.
Thank you, thank you..."
Bai Ling looked at the two figures Yu Jian walking away, and immediately put on a bright smile on his face. He took Meng Xiuyuan's hand and jumped around in circles, looking very excited.
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was about to ask Bai Ling who the big brother Bai was, but he suddenly stopped again, blinked and said curiously:
"By the way, Xiao Xiuyuan.
Didn't you say before that you came to this mountain to pick green fruits and got separated from your companions?
You are so powerful, why can't you find them, but what trouble did you encounter?
I know that there is an eagle living deep in Mount Emei. It is very powerful. Could it be that your companion was captured by him..."
Meng Xiuyuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard the sound. He immediately shook his head and said frankly to Bai Ling:
"Sorry, those were my excuses before.
It was because I saw the villagers being attacked that I chased them into the mountains..."
Bai Ling seemed to like Meng Xiuyuan very much, so he was unexpectedly generous. He only frowned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Forget it, I forgive you.
Brother Bai once said that even good people can lie.
You saved me and are the best person I have ever met in a hundred years.
Come with me, I'll take you to my house to see, I have a lot of good things hidden..."
As he spoke, Bai Ling took Meng Xiuyuan's hand again and led him straight into the depths of the mountain forest.
Meng Xiu saw Bai Ling with an innocent face, but he couldn't force himself to break away, so he had to let him go.
Both of them were light and nimble. Although they did not use magic to fly, their speed was very fast. Countless flowers, plants and trees beside them disappeared in an instant.
Bai Ling was very familiar with this mountain forest. While flying at high speed, he turned his head to look at Meng Xiu from time to time. He saw a sincere smile on his face, full of joy, just like a child entering a playground.
Meng Xiu saw the situation and was filled with emotion. He simply didn't beat around the bush and asked bluntly:
"Bailing, there is something I want to ask you clearly.
Why on earth did you attack those villagers?
Is it because they are greedy and stole too many Biyou fruits from you?"
Bai Ling chuckled when he heard this. He didn't think this was a serious topic at all. He turned to Meng Xiuyuan and replied briskly:
"No, it doesn't matter if they pick some biyou fruits.
That fruit was created by condensing the essence of plants and trees, just for those people down the mountain to pick it.
They picked fruits and exchanged them for money, so they didn’t have to go to the mountains to cut down trees..."
"Huh?" Meng Xiuyuan was slightly confused when he heard this. He didn't know what Bai Ling meant, so he immediately continued:
"Then if that's the case, why did you cast a spell to make that man break his leg..."
"arrive!"
Meng Xiuyuan had just finished speaking when Bai Ling stopped suddenly, causing the two of them to stop under a towering tree. Looking up, he saw several rather exquisite tree houses built between the big branches.
"Xiao Xiuyuan, wait for me. I'm going to see something important first, and I'll be back with you soon..." Bai Ling called out softly, then flew up and floated into one of the tree houses.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, when he came back, he saw that the girl's expression was no longer as playful and lively as before, and there were even tears in the corners of her eyes.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't understand what was going on. After looking carefully, he noticed that she was holding a broken bird's nest made of tree branches in her hand.
Several baby birds in the nest were dead, but one had broken wings but was still breathing.
Bai Ling looked at the baby bird in the nest and said with a slight cry:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, I'm really useless.
I thought I could save their lives with magic, but unexpectedly, I only managed to save one.
I hate that person named Ah Bao. He clearly saw a bird's nest on the tree and there were birds in the bird's nest. Why did he still cut down the tree..."
Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and realized that Bai Ling actually hurt people for this reason.
Before he could say anything, Bai Lingwu whispered:
"In the same woods, my brothers and sisters and I also suffered the same disaster.
If Brother Bai hadn't happened to pass by and help me, I might have died at that time.
I thought that now that I had the skills, I could prevent something like this from happening again.
But I didn’t expect that it would still be the same..."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he felt that there were many hidden things in it, so he immediately asked Bai Ling about the reason.
Bai Ling had been lonely in this forest for many years. She had no one to talk to, and now she was in grief and unconsciously wanted to reveal her heart. So when Meng Xiuyuan asked, she slowly told her past story.
It turns out that more than a hundred years ago, Bai Ling was still a young bird in the bird's nest.
A woodcutter inadvertently felled the tree and killed all her brothers and sisters in the nest.
Fortunately, Bai Ling was born with an extra bit of spiritual energy in the egg, which made her soul stronger. After holding on for a while, she was rescued by a kind-hearted man named Bai.
Mr. Bai knew some magic and was kind-hearted. Seeing that Bai Ling was born with spiritual intelligence, he stayed here to take care of Bai Ling for a long time and revived her body.
However, Bai Ling was indeed in a state of death at that time, and part of her soul had escaped and merged with the forest. Therefore, even if she survived and became a demon, she would not be able to leave the forest.
Mr. Bai developed a close relationship with Bai Ling, and it was hard to let go of him. He actually stayed in the woods, accompanying Bai Ling like a brother, a father, a teacher and a friend for many years until his death.
During those decades, he took good care of Bai Ling and taught her many principles.
"Brother Bai once said, telling me not to blame the woodcutter who cut down the trees.
Because cutting down trees is his source of livelihood, if he doesn't use his hands and feet, the whole family may starve.
In such a hurry, it is difficult to notice that there is a bird's nest in the tree, and there are several of my brothers and sisters in the bird's nest..."
As Bai Ling spoke, he turned to look at a lonely tomb next to the giant tree, and said in a low voice:
"So, after he left, I kept thinking about how to solve this problem.
This is really difficult, and I’m a bit stupid. I’ve been thinking about it for decades, but I still haven’t found a way.
Fortunately, I practiced seriously every day, and my abilities became much better later on. It suddenly occurred to me that if these woodcutters were allowed to look at the trees more and live, then such tragedies would definitely not happen again.
Therefore, I used magic to condense the essence of grass and trees, so that the trees would bear many green fruits, and let the woodcutters sell them for money.
But I didn’t expect that it still didn’t work…”
Hearing these words, Meng Xiuyuan felt a slight chill in his heart and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, looked increasingly sad, and then murmured in a low voice:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, I am so stupid.
I can't figure out what to do.
Why are those people picking Biyou fruits from the trees and exchanging them for enough money to live, but they are still not satisfied?
Why do those people look up at the tree all the time, surely they can see the bird's nest, but they still insist on cutting down the tree?
Is it because the life of a bird is not worth mentioning in their eyes?
But even so, if we move two steps and chop down a new tree, what effort will it take?"
Bai Lingyu turned to look at Meng Xiuyuan, his eyes that were originally very lively were missing a bit of their sparkle at this moment:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, you are more capable than Brother Bai, you must have a way.
