My wife, the eldest princess of the demon clan, I recite poems and become a sword god

Chapter 74 The most fearful thing in the world is innocence (please read and collect!)

His voice was very soft, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

It can be seen that Xie Tingfeng, who is used to strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard this.

The sky lantern, also known as the seven-star life-extending lantern, is a secret technique passed down by the Taoist sect from ancient times.

Only the orthodox direct descendants of the past generations of masters can practice it.

According to legend, if you perform this technique, you can borrow one year of life from heaven, that is, 12 years of life.

However, over the past thousand years, Daomen has lit up sky lanterns many times, but the results have always been unsatisfactory.

Not to mention 12 years, it is difficult to even extend the life of a dying person for [-] hours.

On the contrary, igniting the seven-star lamp requires paying a great price.

After the secret technique is performed, the user may not even be able to take care of himself in the short term, and will be extremely mentally drained.

and,

Even if you successfully renew your life by lighting a sky lantern, it cannot change the current state of the person being cast.

For example, for a person who is seriously injured and about to die, even if his life is extended for a few hours, the pain and weakness in his body will not be relieved by half.

For some, you can skip ads by replenishing your membership, but it cannot change certain plots and will rub the audience's IQ to the ground.

Comparing the two,

No matter how you look at it, lighting sky lanterns is a loss-making business.

Because of this, getting a Taoist master to light a sky lantern is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Xie Tingfeng, who understood the inside story, pondered for a moment and said with a complicated expression:
"It's not worth lighting a sky lantern for a dying person like me."

Hearing this, Li Cheng's indifferent tone became firmer:
"It's worth it if I can hold you until Sect Master Bai and his wife come back."

Grinning silently, Xie Tingfeng coughed a few times unconsciously, and said half-jokingly in a weak tone:
"Although you call me uncle, we don't have a deep friendship.

If I really let you light the sky lantern, I will have to repay this favor in my next life. "

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the girl with her head lowered and her eyes gloomy:

"Ninny, uncle understands in his heart that you really want to see your parents again before I leave.

But there are many things in the world that cannot be forced. I left them a letter respectively, which can be said to be like seeing each other..."

The girl remained silent after hearing this, her eyes still lowered, and her shoulders trembling slightly.

She knew very well that the sibling relationship between her mother and her uncle was deep.

There is also a father who has always been serious about words. Every time he comes to see his uncle, there is always a smile on his face.

She knew she could not prevent her uncle from leaving.

But she is still a little naive and hopes that no one will leave any regrets.

Unfortunately, this can only be her wishful thinking.

Thinking like this, Bai Mengyan nodded silently.

But then,

She suddenly felt her head being rubbed by warm hands.

Slowly raising her eyes, the girl saw the gentle smile that the senior brother showed her while the lights were flickering.

As if he had seen through her heart, Li Cheng comforted her with a gentle voice:
"Don't give up easily, isn't there a saying? The most fearful thing in the world is innocence.

As long as your heart desires it, even your dreams will come true. "

"The most fearful thing in the world is to see innocence..."

Xie Tingfeng, who was leaning on the bedside, heard the sound and repeated this sentence as if talking to himself, a flush suddenly appeared on his thin face.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Li Cheng's heart suddenly sank.

This state is clearly a reflection of light that has reached its extreme, and has reached the point where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.

Maybe in the next moment, the other party will drive to the west, and they will be separated from each other from now on.

Just then,

A hasty voice suddenly sounded from behind the screen:

"Sir, Taoist Yurun is ready downstairs, but he wants to see you first."

Hearing Xie Jingzhi's words, Li Cheng straightened up and looked at Xie Tingfeng who seemed to be more energetic on the hospital bed:
"My uncle called me here and wants to say something to me. You might as well say it now."

"Actually, there's nothing to say," Xie Tingfeng tried his best to raise his head slightly and replied calmly:
"I just want to see you, and by the way, please take care of my daughter for me."

"I know how to do it. I ask uncle to insist a little longer, just for the sake of Yan Yan."

After saying that, Li Cheng turned around and walked out.

Xie Tingfeng seemed to have a premonition of something, coughed heavily, and said in a complicated tone:

"Let Nannan go with you."

pause,
Li Cheng looked back at Xie Tingfeng and read the pleading look in his eyes.

"it is good."

Just one word is like a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Time was running out and he couldn't care about anything else. He took the initiative to hold Bai Mengyan's delicate hand.

The girl didn't resist at all, glanced at her uncle reluctantly, and followed Li Cheng like a kitten.

Looking at the young back, one black and one white, complementing each other,

Xie Tingfeng couldn't help but grin, his expression full of nostalgia.

"Oh, what is the most fearful thing in the world is to see innocence..."

He murmured something softly, and after seeing the two figures disappear on the screen, he slowly closed his eyes.

As if falling into a deep sleep.

……

……

After hurriedly returning from the attic to the living room, Li Cheng saw Taoist Yurun surrounded by stars like a moon.

The other person is over fifty but has good looks and looks like he is only in his 30s.

He wears a pure Yang scarf on his head, a Taoist robe with yellow inside and black outside, Tai Chi pattern embroidered on the back, and compound-soled boots.

The Bagua mirror in the left hand and the peach wood sword in the right hand.

This outfit doesn't look like he's here to save someone's life, but more like he's here to catch ghosts and slay demons.

When he saw Li Cheng coming down the stairs, Taoist Yurun didn't waste any more words and asked directly:
"Do you really want to use the promise of the headmaster brother tonight? Think carefully before answering."

"Junior, I've thought about it clearly," Li Cheng felt the coolness of his little hands trembling in his palms, and replied neither humble nor overbearing:
"Please take the time to light up the sky lanterns for Uncle Xie's family."

"Okay, as long as you agree."

Although Taoist Yurun is a thief, his style of doing things is consistent.

Seeing that Li Cheng agreed, he waved his sleeves and walked out the door without hesitation.

In the courtyard where two cenotaphs were buried under the willow tree, there were no traces of men, women, old or young.

It seemed a bit empty in the late night when it was raining heavily.

A few Taoist priests in green and yellow stood in the courtyard, guarding the brass oil lamps arranged on the ground according to the order of the Big Dipper.

Through the dark rain curtain,
Li Cheng saw seven large lamps and seventy-seven 49 small lamps placed outside the formation.

And located at the core of the formation, which serves as the eye of the formation, is a unique ancient copper lamp.

During the pouring rain, Taoist Yurun did not hesitate to rush into the rain with his sword, and he jumped up and started casting spells.

As the tip of the mahogany sword brushed against the small brass lamp outside the formation, candles were lit in the falling rain.

This is not a flame in the strict sense, but is made of Qi.

Although somewhat inappropriate,

But now Li Cheng couldn't help but think that even if Taoist Yurun stopped being a Taoist priest one day, he would still be a good performer.

Eh?
Having said that, he suddenly remembered the common name of Master Yurun, could it be that his surname is Hua...

Before his thoughts could continue to spread.

suddenly,
A young member of the Xie family rushed downstairs almost madly and shouted to everyone under the eaves:

"Third Master, he is unconscious!"
