Phantom Spear - C222
When he said it last time, Du Shaoyang used the fastest speed possible and did not rest for even a moment while he carried Lee Qingshuang back to the Qingxu Mountain, the first thing Du Shaoyang did was to receive help from his fellow disciples. After the Taoist Tai Xu found out that Lee Qingshuang was poisoned, he completely rejected Du Shaoyang’s plan and thought that it was very inappropriate for him to do this. But now, he no longer had time to scold Du Shaoyang, so he could only enter the Qing Xu Palace to help him circulate his energy and treat his poison.
Seeing Lee Qingshuang’s dark complexion, Taoist Tai Xu knew that she was deeply poisoned. He asked: “Shaoyang, how long has it been since the little girl was poisoned?” Du Shaoyang lowered his head, and said: “I’m afraid it will take more than two hours.” Taoist Tai Xu saw that his face was extremely tired, and felt a little worried. He instructed: “Shaoyang, is your body able to take it?” Du Shaoyang said respectfully: “Return to Martial Uncle, if this disciple is fine, please quickly treat Qing’s poison, I am afraid the poison aura will attack my heart, then there will be no cure.” Taoist Tai Xu sighed, then said: “Bao Yuan, Shaoyang, the two of you go and stand guard outside of Qing Xu Palace, regardless of who it is, do not come in and disturb them. If you cannot push it away, Bao Yuan, you can settle it for me.” Bao Yuan and Du Shaoyang said at the same time, “Disciple understands!” The two of them left together. Du Shaoyang even turned to look at Lee Qingshuang’s face, causing the Taoist Tai Xu to flutter his sleeves and allow him to leave.
Seeing the two of them walk out of the Qing Xu Palace, Taoist Tai Xu first counted Lee Qingshuang’s pulse, and sighed: “Fortunately I didn’t take it seriously, otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to save myself.” With that, he went forward and lit three incense sticks worth of time for the Three Pure Divine Statue, praying for Lee Qingshuang’s safety. He then helped Lee Qingshuang to sit up and sat down cross-legged.
Du Shaoyang paced back and forth at the door, he was extremely anxious, it was the first time for Bao Yuan to see him in such a mess. After being in the Qing Xu Sect for so many years, he naturally knew how deep the relationship between Du Shaoyang and Lee Qingshuang was, and after seeing such a huge thing happen to Lee Qingshuang, Du Shaoyang would naturally be worried. However, Du Shaoyang’s face had already started to turn pale, and he still opened his mouth to say: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, you should also stop worrying. Does Master want to visit your situation? Doesn’t this add to the problem? ” Du Shaoyang nodded and said, “Senior Brother, you have taught me a lesson, but I don’t have the mood to rest right now. If I don’t see Qing escaping from danger, I won’t be able to fall asleep at all. I’ll just wait outside the door and wait for news from Sect Leader. ” Bao Yuan saw that Du Shaoyang did not listen to her kind words nor was he angry, he could understand Du Shaoyang’s feelings, and said: “Alright then, we will stand guard outside, I think you should not stop for even a moment, why not tell your senior brother what happened, why did you become like this?” Du Shaoyang bit his lower lip and said fiercely: “It’s all because of that damnable Evening Evil. He was the one who tried to kill Qing and didn’t even let a weak girl go. He’s truly worse than a beast.” Although Bao Yuan didn’t go down the mountain often, he still knew a little about what was happening at the foot of the mountain. “The beast that has been sexually assaulting women in our Henan territory recently?” Du Shaoyang nodded and said, “Yes, that’s him.” Bao Yuan asked: “Then, is Miss Lee okay?” Du Shaoyang was currently upset, and did not care about Bao Yuan’s words, and spoke with a slightly overbearing tone: “How can it be that she is fine, senior brother you just saw, Qing is currently poisoned, and can be life-threatening at any time.” Seeing that he did not understand, Bao Yuan did not ask him anymore about it. Actually, what he meant was whether or not Lee Qingshuang had been violated by the Evening Evil.
Bao Yuan stepped forward to stabilize Du Shaoyang and said: “Alright, Junior Brother Shaoyang, don’t wander around anymore. Calm down, sit down peacefully and wait for your master to come out. You have messed up your own mind, this isn’t like you.” Du Shaoyang frowned and said: “It’s all my fault, it’s all because of me coming up with that damned plan of mine, that’s why Qing turned out like this.” Bao Yuan saw that Du Shaoyang did not finish his sentence, and immediately shouted: “Du Shaoyang, you are a proud disciple of Qing Xu Sect, how did you become like this just because of a little matter, are you still worthy of the previous Sect Leader and master’s care and nurture for so many years?” Du Shaoyang couldn’t help but be startled when he heard this. He thought about the care and nurture Taoist Tai Xu had given him over the years, and the images appeared in his mind little by little. He knew even more clearly that his master, the spirit of the heavens, didn’t want to see him become like this. The current him couldn’t help but ask himself, could it be that having feelings is my greatest weakness? What kind of Sect Leader would that be? If something were to happen to Qing, I would become like this. Could it be that this is the real me?
Bao Yuan patted his shoulder, and said: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, you and I have known each other for so many years, I understand your character, you have to be calm, although Miss Lee is currently poisoned, but I think there is hope for it, isn’t Master giving her all to cure Miss Lee’s poison? With your benefactor’s inner force cultivation that’s been there for so many years, don’t tell me you’re still worried? ” Du Shaoyang couldn’t help but nod his head. His originally hurried breathing gradually calmed down as well as he took three deep breaths, trying his best to adjust himself. After a while, he slowly said, “Thank you for your lesson, Senior Brother. I’m much better now.” Bao Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction and said: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, your talent is higher than any of our brothers. Even if you are usually modest and do not admit it, but in the hearts of all of us, we are all clear that you are a person who truly understands what it means to act fearlessly and act stupidly. Therefore, your comprehension of the Dao should be the highest among our sect’s disciples. The dao requires the heart to be calm like the lake, the heart to be calm in order to be able to handle things, the mind to think of good countermeasures, and the heart to be calm in order to be able to comprehend deeper Daos. Now you are faced with a struggle against your inner demons and against your nature, and you will try to defeat them. Things are really tricky right now, but there’s still a way out, you know? ” Du Shaoyang cupped his hands and said: “Senior Brother, actually your comprehension of the way is the highest, thank you Senior Brother for giving Shaoyang pointers.” Although these few words couldn’t possibly make Du Shaoyang completely take what happened just now as though it never happened, it still eased his nervousness a little.
Bao Yuan thought: Am I better at comprehending Dao? Don’t be ridiculous, Junior Brother Shaoyang, although I am able to say out all of these principles, I believe that you are very clear about it yourself. It is just that you were in a state of confusion for a moment, and I have to give you a few pointers from the side, but if it was me, even if someone was beside me giving pointers, I still might not be able to calm down so quickly.
Bao Yuan pulled Du Shaoyang to sit at the door so he could rest for a while. He continued to ask: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, where is Evening Evil now? With your ability, he shouldn’t be able to escape from your grasp, right? ” Du Shaoyang sighed, and then subconsciously looked inside, and said: “That guy is already dead.” Bao Yuan was slightly surprised, and said: “What? Junior Brother Shaoyang, you killed someone? ” Du Shaoyang shook his head, and said: “I only used the poison needle that he shot at me to return himself, he brought it upon himself, and died under his own poison needle. But before that, he secretly gave Qing a stab. ” Bao Yuan asked: “That’s strange, logically speaking, Evening Evil is a strong and ruthless person, his poison needle was pierced and he returned to the west, why is Miss Lee still able to hold on?” Du Shaoyang shook his head and said: “What he used to prick Qing was a chronic poison needle, and it would take some time before the poison would take effect, and it will only become stronger and stronger. Previously, he tried to kill me using the poison needle, but it was so toxic that when it comes to a blood seal, it would cause a person to die immediately.” Bao Yuan suddenly realized something, and said: “So that’s how it is. Since it’s like this, I think my master has an even better way to save her. As long as we use our internal energy to stop the poison from spreading again, and find the antidote, we will be able to save Miss Lee. ” How could Du Shaoyang not understand what Bao Yuan was saying? He agreed: “Senior Brother, I and you are thinking the same thing, but I carried Qing all the way up the mountain, and I’m afraid that I might have accelerated the spread of the poison. If I were to reach the Heart Meridian, no matter how much inner strength I have, it would be useless, so my heart is in a mess. Also, Evening Evil didn’t have the antidote, he was only responsible for researching the poison, he refused to say the formula even if he dies, and wanted me to release him. I didn’t want to see anyone else being harmed by this beast, so I decided to kill him. Bao Yuan said in a serious tone: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, what you have done is right. With his character, even if you release him, he would only run away like a wisp of smoke, and would not give you the antidote. Moreover, if he escaped this time, he would definitely continue committing crimes frequently, and at that time, he would even need to boast about escaping from the hands of Qing Xu Sect.” Du Shaoyang looked at the ant crawling on the ground.
What about later?
And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
