Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Yang Wuyi's evil blade was not as decisive as Aman's. Although the sword's light was dazzling, it did not have any brilliant power. It was more like a spring breeze moisturizing things, subtle and silent.

In the light, Wang Luo vaguely heard a burst of laughter, a burst of crying, and a burst of thin and shapeless conversation.

It sounded like a conversation that happened a long time ago.

"Second brother, I'm here to play with you!"

"Rokuro?! What are you doing here! This is a military base, not a children's playground! Wait, don't go there, that's over there..."

"!!"

…

"Second brother...what is that?"

"...You shouldn't see it, let alone know it."

"I asked you what that is!!"

"...The Fingerless Soldiers, the Fingerless Soldiers of the Green Banner Army. The family selects orphans with special physiques from fifty cities in the north for specialized training..."

"That's obviously just a little girl!"

"She is the only little girl among this group of children who has the opportunity to host the evil blade. The method of nourishing flesh and blood must start from childhood. Otherwise, if the body is fully developed and then implanted, it will be a dead end."

"Then such evil methods shouldn't exist! When did the Northern Guards' Mansion have to rely on such evil ways to maintain its majesty!?"

"Every moment! From the time our ancestors supported the royal family and founded the country in troubled times to the present day for more than five hundred years, we have been walking on the edge of the cliff all the time! We must do whatever it takes to maintain the survival of the family at all times! Yang Wuyi, you Don’t you pride yourself on being precocious and well-read in poetry? Don’t you like to take advantage of your husband’s unpreparedness to peek into the family’s secret history? Do you know that our family has faced disaster several times in the past, and it’s all thanks to us that we have managed to survive until now? ! ? Duke Wei, Duke Wei! Do you know how unwilling and humiliating the words "Duke Wei" are to the Yang family? Do you know how embarrassing the relationship between the Yang family and the Gan family is? At the end of the previous dynasty, the Yang family was originally the most powerful party among the heroes. They had several battles with the previous dynasty's armies and won several victories. However, during the decisive battle, the Gan family was on the verge of conquering the world. They allowed the main force of the previous dynasty to use the road to enter the hinterland of Guanbei and massacre and loot, which made our Yang family suffer from enemies from both sides, and their vitality was severely damaged! The Gan family took the opportunity to cut off the dragon veins of the previous dynasty and occupy several vital places in Mingzhou. The strategic pass swept the world in one fell swoop! Our Yang family missed the opportunity and could only silently lick our wounds in the north. However, the Gan family almost didn't stop and headed north to knock on the pass with the nearly intact main force. The ancestors had no choice but to make a brother-in-law relationship with them! He knelt down in front of the heroes of the world, proclaimed Gan Qi Xing as emperor, and swore to guard the border for him from generation to generation. From this, he was given the title of Duke of Wei, Liu Lang, do you really think this is something glorious? ?!"

"...I have never seen these."

"Then go watch! Watch more, learn more, don't live up to your family's expectations of you, and don't be like a child anymore, losing your composure and crying when you see something cruel and bloody!"

"I'm not crying!"

"Ha, wait until you wipe away your tears before you talk harshly again."

…

"Second brother, I'm here to play with you again."

"You kid, you've become more and more outrageous in the past few years. I asked you to work hard, but you pissed off the family gentlemen one by one..."

"Isn't it too late for me? I am no slower than my second brother in practicing Qi and building foundation, and my ability to study and study is far ahead! So how can those mediocre people be my husband? Well, here you go Jiu Mei and the others are quite suitable for their enlightenment."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, what do you want to do here? Isn't it for that little girl again?"

"Second brother Yingming came here just for her. How are you? Are you still alive?"

"Her life and death should not be your focus."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Ever since I saw her disembowelled that year, I still occasionally have nightmares about my own tragic death and dismemberment. Things like offal pots and salt-braised offal, which are specialties in the north, are completely untouched. No. In short, knowing that she is alive can make me feel more at ease and think more clearly."

"Okay, she's still alive, you can get out."

"No, it's rare that I can come over to play with my second brother, so you are so anxious to drive me away? Then next time my eldest sister gives you a blind date, I will fully recommend those ladies who weigh a lot of money among the nobles in Fancheng."

"I told you to go over there, and then go away again after reading this!"

"Haha, thanks!"

…

"Second brother, I'm here to play with you again."

"It's no use looking for me... I've tried my best with that woman."

"Well, I know that the method of cultivating dead soldiers with severed fingers is not a serious method of prolonging life. Warming and nourishing the evil blade is a way of death and no life. What's more, she is actually not talented enough. She really had no choice at the beginning. I cut her belly open and implanted the evil blade... Then the ceremony was somewhat disturbed by me, and it became slightly damaged, which naturally greatly shortened its service life. "

"The evil blade matter has nothing to do with you."

"Come on, second brother, I have thoroughly studied what happened in the past few years. No matter how much you lie to comfort me, I won't feel comfortable hearing it."

"Then you should express your condolences and accept the change. I can let you see her one last time, but you shouldn't be so pretentious, right?"

"Well, I know that although that child is a knot in my heart, it cannot be a knot in my life. Sooner or later I have to let it go. However, I am not here to simply let go. I have a good idea."

"...You never have a good idea."

"It's true this time! Second brother, in the past few years, I have been practicing the art of raising soldiers and have gained a lot from my study. Do you agree with this?"

"... Well, even the scholars in Fancheng recognize your talent. You have made many suggestions on how to train death warriors in the family before, and I have adopted most of them. But her matter is really beyond human power. Of course, maybe one day, our fairy arts will be greatly developed, and even mortal means can change her fate, but that will probably be hundreds of years later. The more persistent you are now, the easier it is to get into a dead end."

"Oh, I understand all these principles, and I often reflect on myself, so I don't need you, the academic mediocre, to lecture me. I really have a good idea this time. You see, the reason why this evil blade has to parasitize in the human body is because it is demanding and its body is fragile, so it must be supplemented by the human body, right? So if we take the host of the evil blade, What if it is also regarded as an evil blade? If that child can be given a scabbard, won't she be able to survive? "

"That's right, but it's pure fantasy. The difference between a living person and an evil blade is so huge. How can you find the so-called scabbard? Or, what exactly is the scabbard you are talking about?"

"It's me."

"Get lost!"

"Haha, second brother, I'm not joking, I'm serious. In fact, the reason is very simple. Her so-called congenital deficiency is not a lack of physical qualifications. On the contrary, her various qualities are almost all above the standard. After all, the method of nurturing the blade was created hundreds of years ago, and the average physical fitness at that time was far from comparable to today. So now among the 200 million Xinheng people, it is easy to find seeds with physical fitness that meets or even exceeds the standard. The problem lies in the spiritual level. Her will There is a huge gap, just like me. No matter how I practice and nurture, I will always be awakened by nightmares, so that my consciousness cannot be perfect. Now, I have a way to fill that gap. I will promote her to a close-fitting death warrior, live with her day and night, and nurture her with the warmth of my human nature. And this is actually the obligation of the Yang family. "

"..."

"After all... Second brother, you should know better than anyone how her gap came about. In order to find enough orphans to serve as death warriors, the Qingqi Army did a lot of artificial acceleration. The child's entire family died in front of her, and no matter how she brainwashed herself afterwards, she could not forget that incident. In the following years, the training she received in the death warrior camp was even more inhumane, and this way not only failed to fill the gap, but also... And make it continue to expand. So now, I am willing to be her family and fill the gap for her. At the same time, it is also to fill my own gap. "

"..."

"Second brother, these idealized and subjective rhetoric, I know you don't want to listen and can't listen. So next, I will speak from a rational point of view: I am not fanciful or wishful thinking. I have been planning this for many years, and have seriously done hundreds of deductions. Recently, I even secretly borrowed the power of the star..."

"You? !"

"Don't rush to interrupt me, I will lead the military law later. But now listen to me, I use myself as a sheath to warm up the child, and I am at least 90% sure that her situation can be completely stabilized. And! Listen carefully, and! Once my method is successful, it will not only be my method, understand? The Qingqi Army will no longer need to go around to "search" for those orphans with perfect physiques. Even if there are one or two, two or three, or even seven or eight defects, they can be completed by another pair of scabbards! By then, the number of evil blades in the Qingqi Army will increase tenfold! There is no reason not to use such a good method! "

"... It doesn't have to be used on you either."

"Then who should I use it on? Besides me, who else can study this method so deeply and have such an opportunity with this method? Who else can take this opportunity to thoroughly perfect this method and make it popular and universal? The development of immortal arts must be based on the overall progress of civilization, but we must never underestimate the role of a few geniuses in breakthroughs. And I am that genius! Without me, it may take another hundred years for someone to make the same research results. "

"But there is no need now..."

"Ah, I know, now our Yang family is in power and has almost replaced the Gan family. But being prepared for danger in times of peace is a family motto passed down from our ancestors. The more prominent the eldest sister is now, the more undercurrents are surging under her feet. At least two-thirds of the eighteen counties of Xinheng are not submissive to the Yang family, so we should prepare for the worst. If one day the world rebels, our Yang family sons must at least be able to fight two at a time. And the Green Flag Evil Blade may save the Yang family a lot of blood. "

"... Forget it, you have never listened to me in these years. It was my responsibility that I did not stop you from entering the forbidden area. Now that you are sure, go ahead and do it. If something really happens, I will tell my elder sister."

"Thank you, second brother, but there are still some details that need your help. I don't want her to know that this matter is a calculation from beginning to end, so please cooperate with me and design a coincidence so that she happens to be assigned to my subordinates, and I just happen to like her ability..."

"Although the child has a lack of spiritual awareness, her intuition is particularly sharp. Your calculations may not be hidden from her after being together day and night."

"Hehe, I pretend to hide it, and she will naturally pretend not to see through it. This is not a story of a handsome man and a beautiful woman in a romantic fairy tale, but just two injured people hugging each other for warmth. In short, I leave the matter to you, second brother!"

"Wait, finally, I have a request, you must agree to it. "

"Don't worry, next time I propose marriage to you, I will definitely only choose girls with slim waists and plump buttocks for you..."

"Yang Wuyi! Don't try to get away with this. If you don't agree to me, I will let that girl go to Nanfeng County to kill the Duke of Feng!"

"...Okay, second brother, I promise you."

"Listen carefully, I can allow you to be the scabbard of that girl, but from now on, you must never let the evil blade out of the sheath, not at any time!"

"Even if I am doomed to die?"

"Even if you are doomed to die! If the evil blade is unsheathed, the scabbard will be destroyed, which is a thousand times more horrible and tragic than death. I... don't want to see you fall into it."

"...Okay, second brother, I promise you that I will never let the evil blade out of the sheath in the future, and I will live a harmonious and shameless life with that girl. A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. I have never broken my promise. Can you rest assured now?"

...

"Second brother, I'm sorry , I have never lied to you in my life, but that is only because I will definitely tell you a lie, and I want you to believe it. That day, when I used the Star-pulling Great Evolution Technique to verify my blade-raising method, I was fortunately inspired by the starlight. The star said that my blade-raising method will definitely succeed, but if I decide to use myself as a sheath to nurture that girl, I will definitely unsheathe the evil blade one day. "

"I think it's okay to unsheathe it. The dead warrior blade-raising method is a dead end that cannot be turned back. Even if A'man never unsheathes the evil blade in her life, she will not live for many years. When she dies, her body and soul will be devoured by the evil blade, which is the so-called annihilation of body and soul. So, instead of letting her go alone, it is better to go together... Over the years, she is not the only one who has been nurtured? So, let me die like a martyr, like a member of the Yang family. "

...

The fragmented conversation ended here, and the knife light in front of Wang Luo gradually extinguished.

Yang Wuyi's all-out attack did not hurt him, and even failed to touch him.

Before the sword light reached his body, Li Fengxian had resolutely blocked in front of Wang Luo.

The evil blade that was enough to kill the fusion was blocked, digested, and finally dissipated helplessly by Li Fengxian's flesh and blood. Li Fengxian just vomited blood, his face was pale, and he was not even worried about his life.

After Aman's death, in the short time when Yang Wuyi took over the evil blade, the star army commander finally regained the military power of the two battalions, and then gathered the lives of thousands of people in his hands and turned them into shields to block Yang Wuyi's evil blade.

Fortunately, it worked.
