Big Bodhi [The Great Enlightenment] - Chapter 8

[Chapter 8 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha]

Time.

The moon was dim, and the sky was snowing heavily.

“Master, hurry up and come back to the house. It’s freezing cold here. It’s not an option for you to stand here and wait all the time.” The

woman was about thirty years old, wearing a complex pattern. The brown-red brocade embroidered skirt, carefully put on a gorgeous mink fur for the man standing quietly under the eaves, and the originally cowardly eyes were filled with a little anxiety and concern.

This snow is not Fan Xue. Even if a cultivator accidentally touches some of it, he may have the worry of cold air soaking his body.

The man looked cold and solemn, and the frost and snow between his eyebrows seemed to be heavier than the goose feather snow outside the house.

He stretched out his hand to straighten the thick sable fur, but his eyes still did not change at all. Through the two main gates that opened dozens of feet away, he stared motionlessly at the dozens of figures that were densely disappearing under the moonlight.

“Master, don’t worry too much, take care of your health first,” the woman’s concern didn’t seem to be fake, “Commander Xu Jianghe personally leads people to find him, and he will be able to find Nian’er soon.”

“Shut up!” The

man turned his head abruptly, the cold light in his eyes swept across the fair and pretty face of the woman, causing her to shudder violently, and involuntarily knelt directly on the ground.

“Master, concubine body… concubine body is really worried about Nian’er’s safety, master you…”

Slap!

The woman was stunned by this sudden slap, and there was a bright red slap print on her left face, and even a trace of blood was oozing out of her normally pampered face.

“If Nian’er really died in the Qingluan Mountains, I’ll sweep you and your daughter out of my Ji family together!” The

man was like a furious lion, and there was even a little bloodshot in his eyes, obviously already Is furious to the extreme.

“Nian’er has more than a dozen Ji family’s military guards by his side, how could he disappear so silently in the Qingluan Mountains? To seek the position that the ancient city of Taichu gave to Ji’s family, that’s why they set such a trap to murder Nian’er!” The

woman knelt on the ground, covering her face and sobbing, tears streaming down like beads with a broken thread, and even soaked. Wet the intricate and gorgeous brocade sleeve robe.

As the main house of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, she has been serving her carefully for more than ten years, and she has kept everything in the Ji family in good order, which has been praised by both inside and outside the Ji family.

Although she is very envious of Ji Yuenian’s irreplaceable position in Ji’s family, she never dares to act rashly, even Ji Quexue, the daughter of Ji’s family who was born to Ji Hong, is in Ji’s family. Yue Nian is also a little cowardly in front of him, and there has never been a situation where the direct descendants of the patriarchs of the remaining families in the ancient city of Taichu compete with each other.

Not long ago, Hexuan Shangzhen, who was in charge of the ancient city of Taichu, passed down the first edict after he was stationed here for more than 30 years. The nineteen ancient cities under his rule recruited disciples to participate in the examination of the Taiyu Shengzong Waizong.

The several cultivating families entrenched in the ancient city of Taichu are all extremely wealthy, and they are usually filial to Hexuan Shangzhen, but this time, it is logical to get a position where they can enter the Taiyu Shengzong Waizong cultivation position without examination. , and the position of the Ji family fell on Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, without any suspense.

The root of whether a soul can cultivate is the fire of the heart, and whether the fire of the heart can really ignite is not only related to the blood, but also to the cultivation resources acquired the day after tomorrow. Therefore, the descendants of the cultivation family have almost never been able to ignite the fire of the heart. worry.

The woman raised her head with tears in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn’t say a word.

Although Ji Yuenian was not heard from in the Qingluan Mountains, she knew very well that it was impossible for her to explain Ji Hong’s character. If Ji Yuenian was not found, then she and Ji Que Xue… I’m afraid that Ji Hong will really be swept out of the house!

Thinking of this, the woman crawled and knelt down to Ji Hong’s feet, trembling: “Master, I really didn’t do it, it’s really not me, master!”

Ji Hong squatted down and gently supported the woman and trembled. His shoulders, his eyes were full of indifference: “For a whole day, there is no news from the year, and the old and dead old people of Ji’s elders’ association and the ghosts and snakes of Ji’s family all jumped out, and the former Xu Jianghe is already a The fourth wave went to look for people. I only have two blood descendants in Ji’s family, Nian’er and Ji Quexue, and Ji Quexue is a woman.” After the words were

finished, the woman subconsciously stopped trembling. She is not stupid, and she is even very smart in some aspects. At this time, under the flow of her thoughts, she can figure out what is going on in an instant, but her complexion is even more difficult to look at.

If the eldest son Ji Yuenian really died in the rumored Qingluan Mountains where demons were rampant, I’m afraid that the huge pressure Ji Hong would face is beyond her imagination.

There are many collaterals in the Ji family, and these collateral forces are intertwined. Although Ji Hong is the patriarch and the second elder of the Ji Family Elders Association, even he has no way to fully control all the Ji family’s collaterals. Department forces.

“Think about it, if Nian’er disappears completely, who will the position given by Hexuan Shangzhen fall on?”

Ji Hong gradually suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and his tone was much softer.

The woman said in a trembling voice, “Ji Baiyu, who is only one year younger than her! It’s the great elder, Ji Luoyan! It must be Ji Luoyan who bribed the guards around Nian’er and brought Nian’er into the Qingluan Mountains!”

Ji Hong looked at her silently, without saying a word.

“Master, what do you mean,” the woman looked a little dazed, “let me and Que Xue admit this crime?”

“Ji Luoyan is the great elder, and his power in the Ji family is second only to that of my family master. Pulse,” Ji Hong was still expressionless, “If I can’t find Nian’er at this time, even if I directly attack him, it will be of no benefit. Instead, Ji Luoyan will seize the handle and take the opportunity to bring Ji Baiyu to the stage. .” The

woman was about to cry, but couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

“Lian’er, I have wronged you, let’s go out and hide for a while.”

Ji Hong’s voice came to his ears.

The woman’s body trembled slightly, but she was stunned in place.

Over the years, no matter how well and carefully she has done, she has never received a single compliment from Ji Hong.

And just now, he actually called himself “Lian’er”.

“Master, you…”

“Don’t worry, after Xu Jianghe returns tomorrow, I will take the opportunity to get angry and anger you and Ji Quexue, and then secretly send the two of you to a safe place, and then take this opportunity. Supporting the third room will not leave any opportunity for Ji Luoyan to take advantage.”

Ji Hong stood up and turned around, but there was a cold light in his eyes that the woman hadn’t noticed.
