Fairy Bone Order

Chapter 4 Bone Town Nails

For some reason, Lin Ranzhi felt an indescribable depression in his heart.

In fact, after getting along with her for the past few days, she found that Senior Sister Zhuo is a good person, no wonder everyone in the palace respects and loves her.

Just, it's a pity.

Zhuo Qingtan suddenly smiled, breaking Lin Ranzhi's obviously depressed mood at this time.

"Junior Sister Lin brought such a big food box today, what's in it?"

Lin Ranzhi woke up in an instant, she put away her depression immediately, and introduced with some enthusiasm:

"I brought a lot of delicious food today, including stir-fried white jade mushrooms, boiled green vegetables, and stir-fried yellow beef, oh yes"

She glanced at her mouth reluctantly, and added: "There is also An Yu's thick stewed ginseng chicken soup and peach blossom cakes. Please ask me to bring them to you. I was so annoyed by her that I couldn't do anything, so I had to bring them."

"It's incredible."

Zhuo Qingtan had a smile in his eyes: "To be able to eat three dishes, one soup and snacks, it doesn't look like I'm here to be punished."

"You have to be able to eat it!"

Lin Ranzhi complained in a low voice: "In the past three days, you haven't eaten anything except yesterday's health elixir and half a bowl of wind-cold decoction, right?"

She comes to Duanjie Peak every day to deliver food and water, and no one in Duanxu Palace knows Zhuo Qingtan's situation better than her.

Even during the first five days when she was imprisoned, she only drank all the water and ate very little food every day.

Today is the eighth day. This person was born taller and thinner than others, but now he is so thin that he almost loses his appearance.

If people who don't know see it, they might really think that Lin Ranzhi lynched her, the head of Duanxu Palace, on Duanjie Peak!

Not to mention other people, if An Yunong and senior brother Luo Fu saw Zhuo Qingtan's current appearance, they would probably rush to find her desperately.

"Cultivators, it doesn't matter if you eat less."

Zhuo Qingtan smiled indifferently.

"Cut," Lin Ranzhi rolled his eyes: "Even so, it's about those of us immortal cultivators who have spiritual power to protect our bodies. If we eat a few meals, we won't starve to death. What about you? Does the whole body work and maintain life?"

Zhuo Qingtan looked at her with a smile, and sighed softly: "Then please help me, Junior Sister, to help me to the stone table."

Lin Ranzhi gritted his teeth a bit: ".Can't you eat on the bed? What's the fuss when it's all like this?"

Zhuo Qingtan's eyes were clear, weak but firm, and he slightly raised his head to look at her.

The anger in Lin Ranzhi's heart immediately vented, and she whispered a little self-defeating: "Okay, okay, I got it! I'll help you up right now."

She leaned over to support Zhuo Qingtan's arm, but the force transmitted from her hand was not heavy, which showed that Zhuo Qingtan didn't put all the weight on her.

This man is really aggressive.

Lin Ranzhi pouted.

She supported her cautiously: "Hey, give me the weight of your body slowly! Or I'll carry you over, it's faster."

Zhuo Qingtan shook his head and smiled lightly: "Nonsense, I just can't use spiritual power, it's not that I'm disabled and can't move."

".Dead stubborn."

Lin Ranzhi muttered something softly, but his movements were very gentle.

She supported her arm with one hand and her shoulder with the other, and carefully avoided the bone town nails on her arm and shoulder.

After helping her to sit on the stone chair, Lin Ranzhi opened the food box like offering a treasure.

I saw three dishes, one meat and two vegetarian dishes, served with a serving of white rice, and a can of rich-flavored ginseng chicken soup and peach blossom crisps on the first floor.

Today's food box, which was sealed by Lin Ranzhi before going out, was brought all the way with fairy art, and it was still steaming hot at this time.

When Zhuo Qingtan saw the chicken soup and snacks, he immediately shook his head and smiled.

"Junior Sister Lin's cooking is excellent, but this soup and dim sum must not be made by my little Junior Sister."

An Yu Nong was born in a family of immortal sects, and he is a descendant of An's family in Jiusheng Mountain, one of the four major immortal sects in the world.

Although she was sent to Duanxu Palace to study art with her brother Luo Fu when she was young, she has always been taken care of by servants in the palace in her daily life, and her fingers are not touched by the spring water on weekdays.

It would be fine if she was asked to simply cook a bowl of noodles, but such soup and snacks with all the flavors and flavors, even if she was killed, she couldn't make them.

Lin Ranzhi smiled smugly upon hearing this.

"I think so too. I imagine that the daughter of a fairy family like her will make soup. You can eat and eat first. I cook this dish. It tastes amazing when kept!"

Zhuo Qingtan smiled: "You did it all?"

"of course."

Lin Ranzhi raised his chin, and said proudly: "No one in Duanxu Palace knows that you, the palace master, are very particular, and the food is prepared separately in the small kitchen of the palace lord in Qingyue Peak every day.

I imagined that you couldn't eat it a few days ago, it must be because the big pot of rice in our Zhangjie Hall's dining hall was inadvertently delicious, and it was hard to swallow.

So, I may as well cook for myself today, you must give me face. "

Zhuo Qingtan was really surprised this time.

She looked up at her slightly in surprise, then smiled lightly and shook her head:

"It's too troublesome. You know that I don't eat less because I'm picky. In short, it doesn't need to be like this tomorrow, so it's better to get ready-made ones from the dining hall of Zhangjie Hall."

Lin Ranzhi smiled but didn't answer, and secretly slandered in her heart: Do you want to take care of it?You are now a "prisoner", so I don't need to listen to you.

Unknowingly, she was fascinated by Zhuo Qingtan's demeanor of eating slowly.

She had heard rumors in the palace before that Zhuo Qingtan, the senior sister in charge of the palace, was accidentally discovered by the palace lord when she was still a baby. Bring it back to Duanxu Palace.

According to legend, Zhuo Qingtan was raised by the Mistress of Duanxu Palace himself since he was a child, and taught him hand in hand.

Is this the child raised and raised by the Mistress of the Palace?
Lin Ranzhi was lost in thought.

In Lin Ranzhi's eyes, her every move was indescribably noble and beautiful, calm and unhurried.

Even during the four years when she had been silently hating Zhuo Qingtan in her heart, she couldn't deny that she was indeed outstanding, the kind of outstanding who was far ahead of others and surpassed many disciples of Duanxu Palace.

Even at this time, Zhuo Qingtan, who was sitting on the stone chair, only wore a simple wooden hairpin on her head. Her face was bloodless, her body was bruised, and she was so thin that she almost lost her face. But she just sat in this simple and dilapidated building. In the prison cell, eating in such a quiet manner while holding up chopsticks silently, the nobility leaking out of his bones is already unstoppable.

If Lin Ranzhi had often gone out to practice exorcising demons before, she would have known that, in the words of the young disciples of the Hundred Families of the Immortal Sect, only these words were the most appropriate to describe the senior sister in Duanxu Palace:
——A model of the fairy gate, elegant, graceful, and freehand.

Of course, this was eight days ago.As for now?
Lin Ranzhi shook his head lightly, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes.

"Can you still eat it?"

Even though she knew that a well-behaved person like Zhuo Qingtan must be careful about eating and sleeping, she still couldn't help asking.

Zhuo Qingtan swallowed the food in his mouth, smiled lightly, nodded affirmatively: "Your craftsmanship is excellent."

Lin Ranzhi was secretly happy, but her face was still calm, and she pretended not to care and said:
"That's good, then you should eat more, or I will be in vain."

Zhuo Qingtan nodded with a good temper.

Xu was feeling unwell. She ate very slowly, chewing every bite for a long time.

Lin Ranzhi didn't rush her either, for fear of disturbing her, he never spoke again.

Even so, what Zhuo Qingtan actually ate in the end was only one or two chopsticks of each dish.

The bowl of rice was barely touched, and the soup was put down after only one sip, presumably because the chicken soup was too greasy.

But Lin Ranzhi didn't force her anymore, she could see that Zhuo Qingtan was eating really hard, and she was eating as much as she could.

She helped her back to the stone bed, and watched her sit upright on the bed, feeling more and more panicked in her heart.

"You have bone-suppressing nails. Palace Master and my master, have you ever said how long you will wear them?"

Knowing that she shouldn't ask this question, but she couldn't help asking after holding back.

It should be known that mortals are born with only eight extraordinary meridians, which are heart, life, dry, Kun, governor, Ren, Chong, and belt.

And mortals who are gifted to cultivate immortals, such as the disciples of the Immortal Sect, are born with one more vein than ordinary mortals, which is for love, and the nine veins coexist.

The seven emotions and six desires of a mortal are all over the heart and heart, so they can't give up and suppress them.

However, if a cultivator attains the Dao, he can suppress all the mundane emotions in his emotional veins, so that he can calm down, be open-minded and fearless, and go further along the path of cultivating immortals.

Zhuo Qingtan is a person who is not emotional by nature, so he is open-minded and cold, which is especially suitable for Duanxu Palace's supreme heart.

But these eight bone-suppressing nails hit the other eight vital points on her body except the heart channel.

It is rare for a disciple of the Xianmen who makes mistakes to be punished with such a severe punishment for bone-suppressing nails. Even if they want to drive in bone-suppressing nails, at most one or two nails will be driven in, which is enough to deter offenders.

Even in order to prevent the victim's body and cultivation from being really damaged, the time when the bone-suppressing nail is inserted into the body is strictly controlled, and most of them will be taken out within a few hours for healing.

But Zhuo Qingtan was driven into his body with eight bone-suppressing nails, and it has not been taken out for a full eight days!

The fact that he couldn't get one more nail was not out of kindness, but because eight bone-suppressing nails were already the upper limit!

If the last pulse of the heart is also driven into a bone-suppressing nail, then no matter whether it is a human being, a demon or a fairy, they are all bound to die.

Zhuo Qingtan was slightly taken aback when she heard her question.

Immediately after she was silent for a moment, she shook her head lightly: "I don't know either."

"You don't know either?"

Lin Ranzhi frowned.

Could it be that the palace lord is really going to abolish her?Abolish this high-ranking student who was trained by him alone?

Didn't Zhuo Qingtan be said to be the most suitable genius for thousands of years in the entire Duanxu Palace to master the Wuqing of the sea?

Didn't it mean that the lord of the 楌桪 Palace and all the families of the Immortal Sect are waiting for this genius junior to achieve the true fruition and ascend to the Tao one day?

Is this really going to abandon her?
Lin Ranzhi frowned tightly: "Before my master left, he didn't leave any words. Did the Palace Master really say nothing before?"

Zhuo Qingtan said calmly, "No."

"what?"

Lin Ranzhi was angry: "You have been punished for eight days with the bone-suppressing nail, and as far as I know, no one who has been ordained in the Zhangjie Hall has been punished for such a long time.

If it is longer, even if your cultivation base is deep and your life can be saved, this body cultivation base may not be able to protect it! "

"Since the cultivation base is taught by the master, it doesn't matter if the master takes back my cultivation base."

Zhuo Qingtan shook his head lightly, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

"What? You are now No.1 among the young disciples of the Four Sects of the Hundred Families of the Immortal Sect. What do you have to worry about to sacrifice your cultivation?
Could it be that you really colluded with the evil spirits to harm the fellow immortals? "

Lin Ran looked her up and down, she didn't look like that kind of villain at all!
Zhuo Qingtan was silent.

It's not that she doesn't want to confess, but that she really doesn't know.

Eight days ago, she received a distress signal from Langya Yushang, a fellow disciple in the palace, and immediately rushed to Wuwanghai with her sword, trying to rescue the fellow disciples of the four major schools who were trapped under Juntian Cliff in Wuwanghai.

The backflow of weak water and cold pool caused the barrier of Juntian Cliff to shatter, and flames from the center of the earth spewed out.

She could only order the brothers and sisters of the major immortal sects with insufficient cultivation to withdraw first, leaving the supporting barrier alone, but unfortunately, even she failed to hold it in the end.

Following the complete rupture of the Juntian Cliff barrier and the impact of the evil spirit gushing out from the flames in the center of the earth, she lost consciousness at the last moment.

When she woke up, she found that she was already in Wuwanghai, one of the four sects of the immortal sect that guarded the barrier of Juntian Cliff in the past.

After that, her master, Duanxu Palace Mistress, also rushed to Wuwanghai.

The master said that the barrier of Juntian Cliff guarded by Wuwanghai was completely broken, which seemed to be related to her.

The power of the vicious demonic essence remained in the cliff, which was similar to the aura remaining in her spirit veins when she was rescued. At that time, there was a peerless great demon near the secret realm of Juntianya.

Therefore, it was agreed by the heads of the four major sects that in order to avoid further problems, and her spiritual veins were cracked by the flames of the earth's center, it was necessary to seal her whole body's spiritual veins.

As for the eight bone-suppressing nails, it was her master's idea.

However, the world only knows that bone-suppressing nails are the cruelest criminal law in Duanxu Palace, used to punish vicious traitors in the palace.

But only the masters of the Duanxu Palace in the past know that the bone-suppressing nail has another unknown function
That is, it can suppress the evil power in the body of monsters and beasts, so that monsters and beasts cannot release their power; it can also suppress the power of the soul of the host, blocking the imprint of the previous life.

It just so happened that Zhuo Qingtan was one of the very few people who knew this secret.Because, she was originally the next heir of the palace lord that the lord of 楌桪 wanted.

Zhuo Qingtan frowned slightly.

So why did Master insist on using eight bone-suppressing nails on her body?
Even if the heads of various sects really suspected that she was colluding with monsters, it would be fine to seal her spirit veins and confine her before the truth was revealed. If it was not for the unavoidable, the master would not have injected eight bones into her body Nailed.

Taking a step back, even if she is convicted of colluding with monsters and harming her fellow disciples, at most she will be abolished or executed.

What's more, as the next young palace master of Duanxu Palace, the severe punishment of nailing eight bones into the body is not much better in terms of death. Master definitely used such a cruel method against her.

Unless the master did this, could it be to suppress the power of the peerless monster or the bone monster of the beast?

Zhuo Qingtan frowned slightly. In fact, it was the first time that she had grown up to such a big age, and felt such a sense of bewilderment from the bottom of her heart as in the past few days.

In the past eight days, she was not as calm and calm as she appeared on the outside.

Difficulty sleeping and eating is not only because of unbearable physical pain, but also because of uneasy mood.

Zhuo Qingtan unconsciously tapped the stone table with his fingers.

Is she really a demon or a beast?
is it possible?

And in order to protect her, Master didn't want her to expose her identity again?This is why she was forced to drive bone-suppressing nails into her eight veins to suppress her demon bones?
However, she is obviously human.

Regarding this point, she will never be wrong.If she was really a monster, how could Master bring her back to Duanxu Palace to raise her personally?

She will never be a demon!
There must be something wrong.

A deep sense of powerlessness emerged clearly from the bottom of my heart.

Ever since the accident happened in the Wuwanghai Juntianya secret realm, everything around Zhuo Qingtan seemed so confusing, even subverting her cognition of the previous 20 years.

No one can answer her questions.

including herself.
