Chapter 262 Resurrection from the Dead
The next morning.
At the edge of the cliff behind the mountain, Li Mochou led the Green-Clad Guards to dig seven pits on the cliff edge, and placed six wooden tablets next to them, each engraved with a name.
Duan Feng, Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu, Lu Wushuang, Wanyan Ping, Hong Lingbo, Ying'er.
After a night of effort, they had tried every method, but Duan Zhengchun grew weaker and weaker, barely clinging to life.
In the end, they all made up their minds to follow Duan Zhengchun.
Before we knew it, rain suddenly started falling from the sky, and the cold raindrops kept pattering on everyone's faces and bodies.
After a long while, several guards in blue robes carried the dying Duan Zhengchun out of the bamboo hut and to the deep pit at the edge of the cliff.
Little Dragon Girl held Ying'er's hand and followed slowly beside her.
"It's almost time."
Li Mochou glanced at the forlorn Xiaolongnu and slowly said something.
"let's start."
Little Dragon Girl nodded solemnly, tears welling in her eyes, and said...
Li Mochou turned her head to look at Hong Lingbo, who was holding a tray, and hesitated before giving him a meaningful look.
After understanding, Hong Lingbo poured a glass of wine for each of the women.
The vessel used to hold the wine was Duan Zhengchun's wine gourd.
"The wine is poisoned. Once you drink it, you will die within half an incense stick's time, without any pain."
"If anyone regrets it, it's not too late now."
Li Mochou glanced at everyone and said expressionlessly.
No one spoke, because no one regretted their decision. They all picked up a glass of wine from the tray and stood side by side next to Duan Zhengchun.
Little Dragon Girl held two cups in her hands, one for herself and one for Ying'er.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaolongnu raised her hand to signal, and several guards in blue robes carefully carried Duan Zhengchun into the deep pit.
Seven deep pits, seven graves.
Farewell, sisters, let's meet again in the next life.
Little Dragon Girl glanced at the group, forced a sorrowful smile, and raised her cup to her lips.
The others exchanged glances, each revealing a wry smile, and simultaneously raised their glasses.
"and many more!"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
Master Tianzhi, accompanied by one of his subordinates, walked slowly over under an umbrella.
Suddenly interrupted, Xiaolongnu frowned slightly and raised her hand to signal the other women to stop.
Why did it come to this?
"They even included children?"
Master Tianzhi slowly approached, glanced at Duan Zhengchun lying motionless in the deep pit, then looked at the other deep pits, frowned and said something.
“Since you know that the black-robed youth last night was the Holy Son of the Holy Gate, you should know that the Holy Gate will not let this go after he dies.”
"Since we have already decided to follow Duan Lang, how can we bear to leave Ying'er to be humiliated by our enemies?"
Little Dragon Girl smiled bitterly and said with a hint of helplessness.
How could she bear to let her daughter die with her if she had no other choice?!
Upon hearing this, Master Tianzhi frowned and fell silent for a moment, because he knew that the Holy Gate would not let the matter rest.
"He doesn't need to die. Carry him up and come with me."
After a moment of contemplation, Master Tianzhi spoke again, then turned and walked into the temple, as if he had made a difficult decision.
Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu and the others were stunned, then overjoyed. They immediately lifted Duan Zhengchun out of the pit and followed Master Tianzhi into the Heavenly Temple.
In the Zen room.
Duan Zhengchun, his face ashen, lay quietly on a couch, barely breathing and on the verge of collapse.
"Does the master have a way to save him?"
Little Dragon Girl looked at Master Tianzhi with expectant eyes and asked.
"Please, Master, lend a hand and save Duan Lang!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Wushuang and the others knelt on the ground, their faces filled with piety.
Master Tianzhi frowned, hesitated, and paced back and forth. His expression was solemn as he said, "Everyone's fate is predetermined. Since I cannot see his end, I should not change his life or death."
“The Heavenly Temple should not interfere in personal life and death, especially since he is not a person of the Heavenly Realm, so it should not interfere even more. However, he seems to have a connection with the Heavenly Temple in the dark, so I cannot stand idly by.”
"His heart meridian is severed, and his internal organs are almost completely destroyed. There is indeed a way to save him, but this method is also quite dangerous, or rather, it is a kind of torture that ordinary people cannot endure!"
“If he tries it, not only will he be unable to become a cultivator from now on, but he may also suffer a backlash and endure hellish torment. Moreover, I cannot be sure whether this method can ultimately save him.”
Upon hearing this, the women frowned, feeling no better than before.
Because even Master Tianzhi was not confident, and it was very likely that not only would his efforts be in vain, but Duan Zhengchun would also suffer pain and torment that he should not have to endure.
"Things have come to this point, there's no time to hesitate. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I can't give up!"
"Please, Master, save me! I will be eternally grateful and will repay your kindness tenfold in the future!"
Little Dragon Girl bowed deeply and knelt on the ground, pleading.
"In that case, you should all go out first. Whether he can be saved or not depends on his own fate."
Master Tianzhi looked at Duan Zhengchun, whose face was ashen, and slowly said something.
The women agreed, glanced reluctantly at Duan Zhengchun on the bed, and left the meditation room one after another, leaving Master Tianzhi alone.
Master Tianzhi slowly approached Duan Zhengchun. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly extended his right index and middle fingers and gently rubbed them together on his thumb.
Soon, a glimmer of light slowly appeared, then detached from the fingertip and gently floated onto Duan Zhengchun's brow, before disappearing in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, Master Tianzhi opened his right palm, flipped his wrist, and a ball of light slowly appeared in his palm. As his wrist continued to flip, the ball of light grew larger and larger, and its dazzling radiance continuously invaded Duan Zhengchun's body.
Duan Zhengchun, who had been lying quietly on the couch, slowly floated up and hovered in mid-air, enveloped in a halo of light.
A moment later, Duan Zhengchun, who was on the verge of death, suddenly frowned and began to tremble violently. At the same time, a miserable scream instantly echoed throughout the meditation room!
"what!"
Xiaolongnu and the others, who were anxiously waiting outside the meditation room, huddled together, but suddenly they heard Duan Zhengchun's painful roars coming from inside!
Xiaolong's expression changed, and she couldn't help but walk quickly towards the door.
“Young lady, Master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter if we want to save him. Otherwise, if we disturb him, Young Master Duan may be instantly killed.”
A disciple of the Heavenly Temple immediately stepped forward, blocking Xiaolongnu's path, and said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu had no choice but to return to her previous position, her eyes red as she stared at the closed door.
As Duan Zhengchun's roars continued, each of the women's faces was filled with heartache and pain.
Although they didn't know what had happened, they could sense that Duan Lang must be in great pain at that moment.
An hour later, as the door opened, Master Tianzhi finally slowly walked out of the meditation room.
The screams finally stopped.
"Master, how is it?!"
Upon seeing this, Xiaolongnu immediately rushed over, asking questions as she hurried into the meditation room.
"No one is allowed to disturb him for twelve hours!"
"Whether we live or die depends on these twelve hours. If we are disturbed during this time, even a great immortal would be of no use."
Master Tianzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave his earnest instructions.
"Thank you, Master!"
Little Dragon Girl hesitated for a moment and then nodded. She immediately led the other women to kneel on the ground again, their faces full of gratitude.
"There's no need for such a grand gesture. If it weren't for our connection, I wouldn't have intervened."
"Keep an eye on this place and don't let anyone disturb him."
Master Tianzhi waved his hand and, supported by his disciple, slowly turned and left.
There was another reason why he didn't offer help at first: if he had saved Duan Zhengchun, he might have offended the Holy Sect!
After all, the Holy Gate is one of the two largest sects in the Heavenly Domain. If the Holy Gate blames him, it will surely bring endless trouble to the Heavenly Temple.
After watching Master Tianzhi leave, Xiaolongnu and the others stood guard outside the meditation room, not allowing anyone to approach...
