Chapter 127 A scholar dies for his confidant
During the days when Mu Qing was seeking enlightenment, the nine-layered Taoist platform in his body seemed to become more rounded, like a mirror, and could even reflect "me".
Previously, Mu Qing relied on swallowing three Five Elements Spirits to forcibly improve his cultivation, which in itself had some disadvantages. Relying on external forces to advance, when he breaks through the Wheel Sea Realm in the future, his foundation will definitely be inferior to others. However, under the guidance of the old man, Mu Qing's cultivation finally became as pure as a mirror, as smooth as jade, and returned to its original nature.
The nine levels of the Daotai are also complete.
Mu Qing put on the mask again, turned back into Ling Feng, and stepped out of the valley.
After Mu Qing stepped out of the valley, Old Ancestor Wu Ya, who had been staying outside the mountain, sent a message inside.
"Ancestor, do we really not need to worry about him?"
The voice of the ancestor came out slowly: "How can such a prison hold a phoenix that soars into the sky?"
"Then, must the ancient scriptures of my sect be passed on to outsiders?"
"Ancient scriptures? Which ancient scripture in this world is not written by people? He is a sentimental child. As long as we don't challenge his bottom line too much, he doesn't have to break up with us."
Ancestor Wu Ya knew that he could not convince the First Ancestor, so he had to agree.
On Mu Qing's way back to the cave, many people greeted him and he had no choice but to nod to them. When he returned to the cave entrance, he saw Lan Yue waiting for him there.
"What can I do for you, Senior Sister?" Mu Qing didn't know if Lan Yue knew his background. If Patriarch Wu Ya guessed his identity, would he use this opportunity to threaten him? He was not sure.
This also made him realize clearly that he was still far inferior to these old foxes. What was written in the novel was all nonsense. These old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years were as smart as monsters and had deep scheming. They could think of so many things with just a little flaw! They even investigated his identity in person! It was terrifying to think about it carefully.
Mu Qing has already decided that no matter what these old foxes are planning, he will run away after inheriting the ancient scriptures!
Just like Lan Yue in front of him, she has been undercover in Piaomiao Sect for several years. If he hadn't dealt with her early on, how would he have known that a little girl could be so cunning.
Mu Qing also figured it out. He had underestimated the people in the world before. There were so many heroes and heroes in this world. Even Deng Taiqing and others were also figures, but they could still fall at his hands.
"The war is over, and the sect is about to choose a young ancestor." Lan Yue said sternly, "But at this critical moment, Qi Xiu is seriously injured, and I'm afraid he can't help much."
Mu Qing thought that Qi Xiu risked his life to help him stop Deng Taiqing and others. If he hadn't fought for this moment for himself, he might not have had the chance to turn defeat into victory.
At this moment, Mu Qing seemed to understand why Si Minghai had helped him in his time of need.
"Where is Qi Xiuren?" Mu Qing asked.
"He is recuperating in the cave at Wanxu Peak."
Mu Qing went to see him immediately. No matter what kind of person he was, he had to repay the favor.
It's like: if there is a benefactor who once helped you when you were down and out, even if this benefactor later becomes an unforgivable criminal, when you meet him again, you will still choose to do him a favor, or even stand against him.
This is not about not being able to distinguish right from wrong, but about having a clear conscience.
In this battle, all of Qi Xiu's ferocious beasts died at the hands of Deng Taiqing and the other two. Even after repeated attacks, they were all severely injured and difficult to recover, and they nearly lost their lives.
At this time, inside the cave, Qi Xiu smashed the medicine bottle, feeling very depressed.
After he returned to the sect seriously injured, he asked his subordinates to get him some elixirs, but none of them obeyed his orders, and even his loyal followers did things perfunctorily.
He originally wanted to go to the Beast Court to choose another beast, but now he was seriously injured and needed an escort. All those who had made friends with him before lied that they were in seclusion! None of them came to meet him!
"Human hearts!" Qi Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Is Brother Qi here? Ling Feng is visiting."
A loud voice came from outside the door and reached Qi Xiu's ears.
"Ling Feng? What is he doing here?" Qi Xiu looked strange and immediately opened the door, staggering and almost falling in front of him.
Mu Qing helped him up, only then did he see how seriously he was injured. His blood and energy were dried up like a shriveled old tree, and his body was full of internal injuries that were almost impossible to heal.
"Brother Qi is so injured." Mu Qing's eyes were dazed and he weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If he wanted to heal him, ordinary pills would no longer be of much effect.
Mu Qing helped him in first. Qi Xiu said self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Young Master Ling. I'm a crippled man now and it's difficult for me to get up to receive you. Please forgive me."
No one knew how heavy this fat man was before, but now he feels so light that he seems like he could collapse at any moment.
Mu Qing asked, "Does taking medicine have any effect?"
Qi Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Unless I have a miracle drug, even if my injury is cured, it will leave internal injuries that will be difficult to heal for the rest of my life, and I may even never be able to make any progress in the future."
"Brother Ling, you came this time to talk to me about the fight for the position of Young Master. I am no longer able to participate in the fight, so it is better to choose another Young Master."
Mu Qing sneered: "Why, Brother Qi, are you planning to give up and give up the aspirations of the Great Dao?"
Qi Xiu's eyes lit up, thinking, could it be that he didn't come here for this? Then it must be...
But he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "No one wants to end their life like this, especially in a sect like this! In Wanxu Peak! If you show weakness, you will be doomed!"
Mu Qing said: "Then how about I give you a chance?"
Qi Xiu was stunned.
Mu Qing flipped his hand, took out a white jade bottle and said, "Just drink it, don't ask any more questions! Don't talk nonsense!"
Qi Xiu's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out his hand, but he was suddenly startled. He didn't know what was inside, but Mu Qing was so confident, it must be a good thing! He was not afraid that Mu Qing would harm him, because what value did he have now. But what he didn't understand was why Mu Qing helped him?
"Brother Ling, why...?"
Mu Qing's eyes were bright and he didn't say much, but Qi Xiu lowered his head in shame.
"I'm already a useless person, I don't deserve you to do this. Besides, you killed Deng Taiqing and the other three, which is very satisfying and can be considered revenge for me." Qi Xiu was also a smart man. He already knew that Mu Qing came here to repay him for helping him, but he was a little bit unbelievable, even unbelievable! Ling, the madman who killed people without hesitation, the one who was feared by the whole sect, and the one who killed Buddhas and gods on the battlefield! Actually... there is such a side to him.
Mu Qing said coldly: "I don't ask for anything else, I just want a clear conscience. If you don't drink it, I will spill it. This is a drop of spring water of vitality..."
"What!" Qi Xiu suddenly jumped up from the bed, grabbed the jade bottle, opened it and took a sip. There was only a drop of water in it, the green water droplet exuded a strange fragrance. When he smelled the fragrance, he immediately felt the blood in his body boiling, and there was an indescribable comfort.
"This... this... this really is... the legendary spring of life!" Qi Xiu glanced at Mu Qing, an indescribable emotion spreading in his heart.
This is a priceless treasure! Just this small drop contains extremely powerful vitality. Even the most serious injuries, whether external or internal, can be quickly recovered. The effect is almost like the legendary magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life.
A hint of greed flashed in Qi Xiu's eyes. Facing such a precious treasure, it would be impossible not to be greedy. However, he did not have the intention to kill. Instead, his eyes were filled with gratitude.
Qi Xiu drank the drop without saying a word, and the next moment, he felt a huge surge of vitality rushing into his body, drawing his qi and blood, washing all over his body. His internal organs were beating vigorously, and even his bone marrow was growing at this moment.
Qi Xiu, who had just been sick, immediately became full of energy.
"I... recovered..." Qi Xiu exclaimed in admiration, then looked at Ling Feng. He seemed to have made a major decision in his heart, and bent his fat body deeply towards Ling Feng, to 90 degrees!
You know, he weighs 200 pounds.
“Everything that happened today will be kept secret until death! From now on, I, Qi, will acknowledge you as my master and follow you till death!” The next second, Qi Xiu slapped his forehead, took out a trace of his own soul, and gave it away.
Mu Qing was shocked, but he also admired this clever fat man. He now knew that he was carrying a treasure. Even if Mu Qing said that it was just a drop of water obtained by coincidence, he would not believe it. But Mu Qing was willing to give out the Spring of Life Water just to repay a trivial favor. This favor was more precious than sending charcoal in the snow, and it was tantamount to the grace of rebirth.
Qi Xiu was not a good person, but he knew how to weigh the pros and cons, and he also understood what was the most precious thing in the world. So he simply handed over his soul to show his loyalty.
Mu Qing said nothing more, accepted his life soul, and said: "I will keep this for sixty years, and then I will return it after sixty years."
Qi Xiu didn't care about a decade. At this moment, even if Mu Qing asked him to kill the ancestor of the Three Pure Ones, he would do it without hesitation.
"I'll go back first, but you suddenly recovered. Now go out and find the beast..."
"Don't worry, master! I know what to do." Qi Xiu said.
Mu Qing said: "Forget about it in private, but in front of outsiders..."
"Brother Ling, oh, Master Ling, take care."
It's easy to talk to smart people.
As soon as Mu Qing left, Qi Xiu began to dress up, trying to make his injuries and breath more realistic.
The next day, he came to the Wanshouyuan alone to tame the ferocious beasts. When others saw that he still looked seriously ill, they laughed at him secretly and said that it was time to change the leader of Wanshouyuan.
……
There was still some time before the Young Ancestor Ceremony, so Mu Qing dressed up and went out. As soon as he left the scope of the Wheel of Reincarnation, he couldn't wait to rush towards Longquan Mountain.
After the ancestor's enlightenment, Mu Qing seemed to have suddenly become enlightened and understood everything.
He wants to go back and express his feelings to Yunxi!
The current Cang Qiong Dao Sect has followers all over the entire Dalu Dynasty, and even the surrounding small countries have been deeply affected.
What is exaggerated is that in the slums, there was a mother and daughter who were once rescued by Yunxi. The mother, who originally made a living by weaving straw sandals, met the disciples of Cangqiong Dao Sect, who helped her to weave clothes and shoes for the people in the immortal sect. The clothes she made were handed over to the sect, and the disciples of the sect then sold them to merchants, and 20% of the money earned would be given to the mother.
Now, this once poor mother has moved into a warm little house with her daughter. In order to promote gender equality, Cangqiong Dao Sect also established a girls' school so that girls all over the world can go to school. They are not only taught knowledge from books, but also many things that can be used in daily life.
Gradually, Cang Qiong Dao Zong, an immortal sect that serves the people, has been deeply remembered by the people.
When the sect was developing, Yunxi had never asked about it and didn't even know that the influence of Cangqiong Dao Sect was so great that many independent cultivators had joined it. Although most of them were in the Awakening Realm, there were also some young people with ideals who joined the team to build a beautiful world of great harmony.
There are tens of millions of followers in Cang Qiong Dao Sect, and there are already thousands of disciples!
When Mu Qing returned to Longquan Mountain, he was stunned to see a huge crowd of people at the foot of the mountain, all filled with people and burning incense.
When he entered the mountain gate, two new disciples came forward to stop him, but their words were gentle.
"My fellow Taoist, if you want to come and pay respect to the mountain, please abide by the rules here and do not take the Heavenly Road."
Mu Qing smiled bitterly: "I'm not here to pay my respects to the mountain."
"If you want to join our Cang Qiong Dao Sect, please abide by the rules. We will test you to see if you are eligible to join."
Mu Qing had not expected that the Cang Qiong Dao Sect had already flourished and had a far-reaching influence. He smiled and said, "You two, I am from the sect. If you don't believe me, go ask your saint girl and tell her that my name is Mu Qing."
The two were stunned. They had never seen Mu Qing before, but just in case they decided to go back and ask him clearly.
The two men took him to the hall outside the door and first went to inform Elder Tao, who was none other than Tao Yu. When he heard Mu Qing's name, Tao Yu immediately went to inform Yunxi!
"The Sect Master is back! The Sect Master is back!" Tao Yu shouted excitedly, and Mu Qing could hear it from a distance.
Mu Qing coughed dryly and quickly slipped away. He didn't know how many people would be attracted by his shout, and it would be bad if it caused a stampede.
At this moment, Yunxi in the cave heard the commotion outside, especially the voice of "The Sect Master is back!", he suddenly closed the door tightly, then leaned against the bed and looked in the mirror.
Why are the corners of my eyes a little darker... My hair is a little curled up... Is my skin dull...
Then she looked through her storage bag again. This dress doesn’t look good… Should I wear a hairpin… Should I dress more simply…
After wasting time for an incense stick, Yunxi finally opened the cave and walked out. She was dressed in red, her skin was whiter than snow, and her steps were graceful and elegant, as if she were a fairy.
What about others?
