The Journey of Flower - Chapter 98
– What is between the past and present?
Hua Qian Gu, you are as Chang Liu’s disciple, the only disciple of sect leader, what did you regard your Shi Fu as? More than that how much it affect Chang Liu’s reputation? You betrayed Priest Qing Xu’s great trust, responsible as Mount Mao’s sect leader, how could Mount Mao explain to the world? You have ashamed Chang Liu, so you are disloyal, ashamed your Shi Fu, so you are unfilial, ashamed Priest Qing Xu’s entrust, so you are unfaithful, ashamed the world, so you are not benevolent. Therefore, for a person who being disloyal, unfilial, unfaithful, and not benevolent, Chang Liu cannot tolerate with you. Now sentenced you by expelling you out of the sect , and at Zhu Xian pillars receive eighty-one Xiao Hun nails punishment … …
Xiao, Hun, Nails……
Her brain echoed of the day when the trial held by the three Honorable Heads and the words said by Ru Zun, Hua Qian Gu’s brain suddenly turned blank, instantly collapsed on the ground, the bones inside her whole body are severe twitching up in pain. The swallowing taste in her throat is kind of sweet and bitter at the same time, tightly hold her hand into a fist, nails poked into the skin.
She finally understood, why the eighty-one Xiao Hun nails she only received seventeen of them, actually the remaining, Shi Fu carried out for her. No wonder, no wonder last night saw Shi Fu in such a weak condition. Even if his spiritual power is so high, a full sixty-four nails, how could he be able to endure? Not to mention that time he was just cured from his poison, his power has not yet completely recover, unlike her who has demon god power inside the body, no matter how heavy the injury was still can be heal without using medicine.
Why? For what reason? The one was wrong is her, the one should received the punishment also her, why did Shi Fu do that?
She has countless questions to ask, but now could only with her blankly eyes expression looking at the front, lips trembling but can not speak.
That seventeen Xiao Hun nails, her liver and gallbladder all cracked in pain, in this life she will never forget. But Shi Fu suffered more than her several times, if not relied on his cultivation to obtain, perhaps even his life was hard to protect! Nowadays, he has lost almost all of his spiritual power, the Xiao Hun nails injury that left on his bones can not be the same as her depend on the power of demon gods to heal. Even Dou Lan Gan who was hit by two of Xiao Hun nails his ankle; until now after came back from the savage wilderness somewhat is still having a hard time to walk, when the weather change, everyday and nights suffered some pain. Shi Fu for this past year how did you survive through this?
She suddenly reacted, she stared, tightly grabbed Dong Fang’s robe.
“The Demon god power?! Could it be that Shi Fu.. … “
Dong Fang kept silent, then nodded gently.
“Impossible! Impossible! How could this be!”
Hua Qian Gu’s face was frightened, her body shaking non-stop, like the most terrible thing in this world she ever heard.
The surrounding air began to vibrate violently, divergence of the ripples, like the earthquake, things on the table cabinet have fallen down. Tang Bao was so scared quickly went into Hua Qian Gu’s ear.
Dong Fang Yu Qing doesn’t not know what to say, just firmly pressed her hand with his fingers, to appease her inner hysterical.
Hua Qian Gu expressed somewhat a bit of smiling and crying on her face.
Since Zhu Ran told her that eer body possessed the real power of demon god, she has always felt some perplexed. If that time Xiao Yue really transferred the power of the demon god to her, right before when Shi Fu caught them in the hole, based on his cultivation, how could he unable to tell? How could he not know? But why did he still want Xiao Yue to be executed as being a demon god?
But she did not dare to think, did not dare to guess, what kind a person Shi Fu is, how can she dare to doubt.
So she prefered to believe that he did not know the truth, rather than her mind told her that he tried to cover up. Otherwise……
Hua Qian Gu was shuddered, tightly bite the lower lip, in any case she could not imagine he suffered from sixty-four nails for her, but also had Xiao Yue as scapegoat for her crime.
“You went there yesterday, did you see anything unusual with his body?” Dong Fang sighed and asked.
“Shi Fu….seems like he is sick.”
“Your Shi Fu is not sick, although that Xiao Hun is incredibly powerful, with his cultivation was still able to handle it. The reason behind his sudden poor health condition, because yesterday you just returned from the savage wilderness, no more prohibition to suppress your demon god’s body, the power of the seal will be corresponding increase, he could not withstand with it, so his body must be greatly weak. “
“Seale?” Hua Qian Gu in subconscious mind reaches out and touched her right armpit, whenever she used her power, there was a place that was always hot.
“Yes, the reason why even you got out of the savage wilderness, still unable to release all the demon god’s power, because the power was sealed off by your Shi Fu.”
“Impossible, Shi Fu would not do that!” Hua Qian Gu desperately shaking her head. She recalled the time when he was not reluctant punished one hundred sword, himself being Chang Liu sect leader, how can he favoritism for her.
Dong Fang forced out a smile: “I also thought it is impossible, but on top of than that I could not figured it out why he did that. I thought he would deal with your punishment impartial, in order to deceived the six realm, not to show his favoritism. I thought he would be place righteousness before family (idiom), gave a good explanation to everyone, but the end result he would rather be torture in your place. At that time I sighed your painstaking effort, finally had some return her hard worked did not wasted, he scraped the meat from your immortal bones, deposed your immortal body, digged up your tendons, arteries, and veins; destroyed your look, and then banished you to the savage wilderness. I really did not know what he was thinking, but also did not know should I hate him or thank him.”
Hua Qian Gu without any energy raised her hand up, touched her face, blankly remains silence.
“Shi Fu had always treated me good, maybe because he considered that I still small, did the wrong, he could not bear to punish me, but it was difficult to avoid the covered up. But he knew I had dirty thoughts for him, very furious, wanted to force me to forget. So sealed the demon god’s power and banished me the savage wilderness, in order to protect the six realms’ lives from disaster. “
Actually Shi Fu is the most suffering person, although she did not say the reason why she stole the artifacts, he probably could guessed it out. One side wanted to take care of the six realms, and another side wanted to take care of her; one side felt pity for her and other side felt pity for the world. Although he was burden with heavy responsibility, but they would rather become a sinner who condemned by history, still he did not willing to sacrifice her in vain. Because he knew that her body had the power of God, that was why he would under his hands punish her very heavy like that … …
He was harmed by her, everybody was harmed by her! She would prefer him to treat her heartlessly until the end, the pain in her heart might be less. She did all this just want him to be well, but instead pushing him into such a miserable situation?
Dong Fang sadly said: “Gu Tou, looked at you for him tried hard, for him worked hard, for him heartbroken, he was still mercilessly and heartlessly, so I thought of you it was not worth it. Later I discovered, as all these years that Bai Zi Hua teaching you, spend his time and energy to care for you, just to say that only the kind of person like him that can really protect you, even himself always abide by the principles and beliefs had to abandoned. I know that he has always been endured in silent, everything has his difficulties. But still he always could not bear to see you suffer, back to himself, find an excuse to have a resentment. But on the other hand, hope that you could understand him.
In this world, who set the fix rule that when you love a person, he must have to love you back? You pay for him, he must have pay you back in return? Especially only for Bai Zi Hua who is ruthless and heartless, anyway, he is as your Shi Fu must has to absolutely competent, to you, to Chang Liu, and to the six realms, he always did his best to fulfil his duty. His bitterness, ordinary people could not experience, he also never revealed it. This time he picked a new disciple, made you very desperate, but you do not do anything only hiding here alone and being sad? You have always believed in him, no matter how much bitterness and suffering but you have never had any resentment with him. Why this time not to try to believe him, believe that at that time when he accepted you as a disciple he had made a commitment to you and to the world people, so you should go find out in this year when you were not around, what happened? “
Hua Qian Gu sillily looked at him, flowing of tears dripping silently from the bottom of her heart. Why at such circumstances, Dong Fang is still encouraged her, help her?
Dong Fang gentle smile at her, stretch out his elegant hand.
“Hurry up, if we still not leave, we can not catch up with Chang Liu’s bouquet. “
The weather is cold, the ground is frozen, Mount Chang Liu was covered with snow. Three huge waterfall is still the same as before purely clear hanging down from the three main hall. Afraid of demons seeking troubles, but covered with light heavily guarding the outsider.
After transformed her looks, Hua Qian Gu and Tang Bao, with Dong Fang, they secretly mixed into the crowd to get in. Because they came a little bit late, the banquet had already begun. Although the surrounding meticulously decorated, lively and luxurious, but after all, still left a sign of Chang Liu’s desolated, unable to return to the magnificent view of the old day, under the faces of each disciples are also hidden a trace of worriness.
Hua Qian Gu from very far away saw Mo Yan and Sheng Xiao Mu were at the high above, Lou Shi Yi who was very busy, and Qing Shui. She was very excited, but did not dare to come forward to acknowledge them.
An iridescence passing in front of her eyes, Hua Qian Gu could not help helds her fists firmly, her heart was tighten.
Ni, Man, Tian!
She was unconscious, so she did not know on that day actually was Mo Yan, she still thought it was Ni Man Tian in front of Bai Zi Hua sprinkled Jiu Qing water on her, because can not speak about this, in such way definitely cannot inform this matter to Shi Fu.
Ni Man Tian smiling brightly, like a pleasant spring breeze, her parents also came, sitting on the seat, there are also many other immortals.
Hua Qian Gu one by one recognized all of them, she looked around but did not see Bai Zi Hua’s figures.
Waiting for a long time, and finally heard the bell sounded from Chang Liu main hall, knowing that the ceremony is about to start soon, she sit down lightly, tried to lift up her spirit, she did not admit things having reached this stage, after all she still has some expectation.
Perhaps, just want to see him …..
Finally, that Bai Zi Hua’s figure slowly flew down from the Jiu Qing Hall. His appearance was slightly changed, but his eyes still remains cold as ice as before, but a bit sharper.
The crowd of immortals endlessly gasp with admiration, even Ni Qian Zhang could not help but with the disciples in sect slightly made a wink.
Bai Zi Hua on behalf of his disciple accepted sixty-four pieces of the Xiao Hun nails this story is famously well known, since that day he was in seclusion concentrated on his cultivation, rarely made appearance. Xiao Hun somewhat is still god’s weapon, let alone so many pieces. There was a rumor in the immortal realm that he has lost his immortal’s body, his energy was seriously damaged, had to rely on Mo Yan to be in charge of overall situation. Although his prestige is still exists, but his deterrent nature is greatly reduced. But this time to see, but it seems like nothing, others were hit by this nail, the injury take at least many years to recover. He was riding on the wind down, his magic power has not seen any sign of weakened. This Bai Zi Hua, is he really like a God very powerful cannot be destroy? No wonder the Jade emperor sent his best, most admired, and beloved granddaughter You Ruo to Chang Liu. They have been tolerated for so long, the day of Shiny Five-Stars is coming, the immortal realm is ready to carry out a big counterattack.
Every immortals in the crowd harbored a thought in their mind, only Hua Qian Gu foolishly looked at Bai Zi Hua’s figure the same as before very cleaned, not contaminate even a bit of dust. She thought of the time of her punishment, all the bones in her body started to ache dully.
For a moment, she realized that followed behind him was a person in pink figure. Although that person is well behave followed the rule, her eyes are curiously everywhere looking around.
Heart burst of sorrow and grief, looking at Bai Zi Hua’s black long hair as ink, she was slightly at a loss.
Shi Fu, now, who did help you to tie the hair?
At the beginning of the ceremony, everything is familiar to her, but yet also extremely unfamiliar. In her heart wishing, only hope that there may be a sudden accident, interrupted this apprentice worship ceremony, or Shi Fu would say something … …
But there is not.
Everything is in a slow and extremely solemn and respectful pace, a little bit carry out with.
The whole world has become a black and white, quietly silence. She could not hear what Bai Zi Hua had said, and she could not hear what You Ruo had said with the smile on her face, even more she could not hear what those immortals group had said. Dong Fang’s hands secretly has been holding her, concerned she might fainted. But she was fine, she just wanted to vomit. Her stomach felt sour bitter and painful, stir upside down.
So for a moment, she wanted to rush to the stage, kneeling in front of him, begged him not to abandon her. There was a moment, she wanted to rush into his arms, questioned him why he silently did so much things for her behind her back, but at a blink of an eye a new person would be his new disciple!
Bai Zi Hua’s expression was calm like water, not a slightest of waves in his eyes.
And finally he snapped a piece of aromatic grass, handed to You Rou. Hua Qian Gu quickly struggle to free from Dong Fang Yu Qing’s hands, hide herself, disappear in the crowd.
Sorry, after all, she is still too weak, no way to face her own heartbreak.
