Chapter 308 Righteousness
The snow-capped peaks of Baishan never melt all year round.
As a tourist attraction, there is a dangerous peak that is not open to the public. Although it is not winter yet, there is a thick layer of snow.
Although it was daytime, the sky was as dark as night and covered with dark clouds.
The moonlight shines on the snow, and the bonfire casts a warm tone on Amber's face, which blends with the cool-toned snow, creating a distinct tension in contrast.
The stars in the sky are shining like the eyes of gods that never open.
A group of people were silently chewing dry food by the campfire. Amber sat quietly, and a fragrant baked bun appeared in front of her.
"Eat something. It's better to have enough food in your stomach before you start your journey." Tongsi said to Amber while holding a steamed bun.
He is Leng Wen's second apprentice, and the third oldest in the Tong generation. He looks to be in his fifties, with a smiling face, but at this moment he appears particularly solemn.
Because Tongsi knew that the handsome young man in front of him was about to end his life.
The crackling of wood in the fire and the sound of the wind were the only sounds on this quiet mountaintop.
Amber waved her hand.
"I have no appetite. I don't feel like eating. This is my last life. It doesn't matter to me whether I have food in my stomach or not."
Ordinary people eat a little before they die, so they won’t feel so hungry on the road to the underworld.
But he has no afterlife and doesn't have to go to the underworld, so it doesn't matter.
"Oh." Tongsi silently took back the steamed bun, sighed lightly, and sat back next to his mentor.
Looking at Amber who was ready to die, and then at his mentor who was decades older than him, he felt a sudden soreness in his nose and quickly took a few bites of steamed bread to cover it up.
"The dragon vein is only a little bit away from being repaired. Have you really thought it through?" Leng Wen asked Amber.
Amber chuckled.
"I've thought about this a long time ago. For this, I even offended my ex-girlfriend. In fact, I originally wanted to leave this body to her as a souvenir."
Thinking of Lou You, Amber felt a little guilty.
Lou You wanted his body to be used as a puppet. He should have agreed to this "small" request, at least to keep it as a souvenir.
But for the sake of the people of the world, he couldn't even fulfill her wish. They had known each other for a long time, and she had risked her life for him, but he gave her nothing.
"Master Leng, when I leave, two of my three souls will be integrated into the dragon veins. You must help me keep the remaining one and give it to Ningning. Although this soul has limited mana, it can still be used as a soldier for Ningning, which is also good."
"Originally, I wanted you to follow me. You have a better chance of ascending to the immortal realm than Ningning. However, after I repair this dragon vein, my cultivation will be half gone. You can follow Ningning, but I don't know which of the three souls you left behind is yours, and how much memory you can leave behind. If you can't remember her——"
"It's okay. Even if I forget about her, the first time I see her, I will know that this is the little sister I want to protect with my life." Amber thought of Yu Ning, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise again.
"She is going to be the head of Ningshan in the future. With two ghost fairy-level soldiers following her, she must be very impressive."
"You should tell me this in person."
The sudden sound echoed on the empty snow-capped mountain top, catching everyone off guard.
Not far away, a figure walked quickly towards them.
Amber thought something was wrong and stood up to escape.
"Still running?!" Yu Ning rushed over and grabbed Amber by the collar.
"Hey, sister Ningning, long time no see - you are dressed like a lady, but don't you think you look a bit like a bear?" Amber couldn't escape and could only turn around with a playful smile.
Yu Ning was dressed very warmly, with a mountaineering jacket inside and a thick mink coat outside, and a mink hat on her head, which was very furry.
The girl with a slender figure tried to make herself look rounder by wearing clothes.
"Do you think there is no mirror in my house? Don't I know that I look like a bear?" Yu Ning dragged him unhappily, brought him to the fire and pushed him to sit down.
Looking at Amber's expression in the firelight, Yu Ning's heart skipped a beat.
At this time, Amber no longer had any Taoist energy to protect his body, which meant that he had almost exhausted all his strength.
Without the protection of his aura, Amber looked like an ordinary person, but Yu Ning felt a chill in her heart after seeing his face.
"Don't look at me. Even if you look at me in the eye, it won't change the fact that your third brother is going to die." Amber said lightly.
Yu Ning sat next to him and took off her backpack.
When I opened the backpack, I found an insulated box inside, which contained boxes of delicious meals.
"Oh, it's hot. I suddenly have an appetite. This must have been transported here by helicopter, right? My sister Ningning will have no worries about food and drink after marrying a local tycoon, so third brother can leave with peace of mind." Amber smiled when she saw Yu Ning's box.
"You have such a cruel heart that you have been hiding it from us." Yu Ning's voice choked with sobs.
The face of amber is that of a dying person, and there is no way to save him.
His body was about to expire. Under the curse of his family, his body had been exhausted and all his organs had failed. He was only able to survive until now thanks to the protection of his Taoist energy. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.
Yu Ning's tears fell silently on the snow. She turned around stubbornly so as not to be noticed by others.
"Why did you come so quickly?" Leng Wen frowned and looked at Lao Wu who was eating a steamed bun on the side. Ningning's sudden arrival disrupted his plan.
Leng Wen brought his fifth junior brother along because he was afraid that Ning Ning would figure out their location.
The fifth junior brother lowered his head and faced the eldest junior brother in silence. He didn't know why either!
He had clearly blocked it, making sure that no metaphysical means could detect it, so who knew how Ningning found her?
"Don't be mean to Senior Brother Five! I have my own way!" Yu Ning said fiercely with his back to Leng Wen.
"You don't even take the senior brother seriously now. How dare you talk to your elders like this?" Leng Wen put on airs.
"Huh? Elder? When you took it upon yourself to hide it from me, did you ever consider that you are the elder? Repairing the dragon vein, such a big thing, you didn't tell me? I am not from Ningshan?"
Yu Ning turned around and spoke excitedly, her eyes fell on Leng Wen's white hair, and then she stopped abruptly.
Compared with the harm suffered by Senior Brother and Amber, the fact that she was kept in the dark really seemed insignificant.
"Master, Master didn't hide this from you on purpose.
You know that our Ningshan people have been protecting the Chinese dragon veins for generations, and you also know that the dragon veins will be cracked in the next few generations." Tongsi couldn't help but explain for his master.
Ningshan guards the dragon vein, this is something only a few people know.
Several generations ago, masters had calculated that the dragon vein might experience a major crack within a few decades, which would need to be repaired. No one expected that the crack would appear so quickly and earlier than they expected.
Leng Wen, Jiang Nan, and Amber all gave up most of their cultivation in order to cultivate the dragon veins. Amber was already devoured by the family curse and would not live long. He also wanted to wait for Ning to break through to the level of a heavenly master and then join her as a soldier.
But the incident happened suddenly, leaving Amber no time to plan. He could only act first and report later, hiding it from Yu Ning and Lou You.
Quietly thinking of Hongbao at night, the Tong generation names are arranged like this, if you don't come up with some rules for naming, I can't remember them myself, hahahaha
