Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

After waking up from his meditation retreat, Qingxuan was the first to notice the abnormality of the measuring ruler. No matter what, this thing was his magic weapon after all.

By the way, he also planned to come and see this closed disciple.

Although he felt that this disciple did not need any guidance, as long as he reached the Taiyi realm, he would understand everything and there would be nothing that needed his teaching.

But a disciple is a disciple after all. If he doesn't give some guidance, it will always lack a sense of ritual. In the future, he might blame his master for being irresponsible.

It was a good opportunity to go out for a walk. Even his disciple Long Ji could see Qinglian's rare impatience. How could he not know it?

Qingxuan himself was quite calm in his heart. He could vaguely see such a path. It was not because his comprehension was higher than Qinglian, but it was just a matter of his own path.

Besides, who knows whether I really saw it or not?

It's just that there is a glimmer of opportunity in the deduction.

Qingxuan looked at his closed disciple who was jumping up and down because of the measuring ruler, shook his head, stretched out his hand, and the measuring ruler fell into his hand, and then he calmed down.

The young woman who was battling with the measuring ruler stopped and looked back. The ruler that was chasing her had disappeared, but not far away, a figure in green appeared with the disappeared measuring ruler in his hand.

The young woman's eyes moved slightly, and she already knew the identity of the man in green.

After all, the Measuring Ruler often boasted to her that he was the most powerful magic weapon in the world and was comparable to a saint.

There is no need to guess the identity of the person who can make her calm down. He is the owner of the magic weapon, her master whom she has never met.

Nu Qing frowned. She found that the aura of her master was very strange. He was clearly standing there, but he gave her a sense of non-existence. The thin aura made her forget him as soon as she saw him.

Even if what you see is right in front of you, you can feel it is empty and subconsciously ignore its existence.

What made the young woman even more incomprehensible was that as soon as she looked away, the existence in her impression became thinner and more blurred, as if it was disappearing.

Nv Qing rubbed her eyes, and when she looked again, everything was normal again, as if it was just an illusion before, and that sense of existence returned to normal.

Judging from the situation, he doesn't seem to be the petty-minded person that Chizi said. He has a gentle temperament, and the second senior brother is somewhat similar to him in this respect.

"What? You don't recognize me? Or are you not going to recognize me?"

Seeing that this closed disciple was staring at him again and again, Qingxuan opened his mouth and asked, at the same time, he restrained his own aura of the Great Dao.

"Isn't this the first time I've seen you, Master? I'm not sure if it's you. What if I called the wrong person? Then Master, wouldn't you punish me for treason? I would be wrongly accused."

After a moment's pause, the young woman put on a well-behaved smile, walked closer and bowed respectfully.

"Disciple Nuqing, I pay my respects to Master."

"..."

Qingxuan was silent. This Nu Qing's personality was indeed different from that of the other disciples.

Yes, Long Ji, Tian Hu and the others grew up in Qingqiu and were influenced by Qingqiu's fine traditions.

Nu Qing has been completely free outside, and has been hanging around in the human world for such a long time. She has seen a lot of human ways, so it is normal for her to be a little thick-skinned.

Qingxuan could feel that Nuqing seemed a little afraid of him. Was he very strict?

Qingxuan glanced at the measuring ruler in his hand. This guy probably instilled wrong perceptions in his disciples and ruined his image.

Pangu was the same, too idle, and always wanted to find something fun for him.

Forget it. Seeing that he is all alone and has no friends, it is normal to envy and be jealous of him. So I won't bother with him.

After all, if he argues, he can't beat the other party, and he will be the one who suffers.

Besides, that guy won’t attack Qinglian, but it’s hard to say what he will do to him, although he won’t really do anything to him.

As for the measuring ruler, haha, no wonder it was given to him instead of Qinglian. It turned out that the intention was to give him a little chance to fall back.

However, this is also blocking another path for him.

Although that was a road Qingxuan would never take, it made no difference whether it was congested or not.

"Okay, I don't have so many rules. You will know many things in the future."

Having said that, Qingxuan glanced at Nuqing.

"You have reached the Golden Immortal Realm, but you are so-so. Your nephew's cultivation is higher than yours. As his uncle, you should be more self-aware and not slack off in your cultivation."

Nv Qing opened her mouth. She felt that she had not slacked off in her practice.

But when she thought about her nephew Yang Jian, whose cultivation was indeed higher than hers, and even faster than hers, she was at a loss for words.

"By the way, the nephew I was referring to was not Yang Jian, but your fourth senior brother's disciple, who has already achieved Daluo for a long time. Among the Qingqiu lineage, your cultivation level is the lowest, and you are far behind. You should learn from your shame and work harder."

Nv Qing was in a trance for a moment. Why did this feeling feel so familiar? It was strange.

in addition......

"Fourth Senior Brother? Master, how many disciples do you have?"

"Including you as my last disciple, there aren't many, only five."

Nv Qing's face fell. There were actually four people she had to call senior brothers and sisters?

And he was the last disciple? Did that mean he was the youngest one?

Qing Xuan looked at Nu Qing, with a strange look in his eyes, and asked:

"What? Do you still want to be a senior sister?"

Nv Qing's eyes wandered, and she stole a glance at Qing Xuan. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Disciple, no, hello, Senior Brother. Second Senior Brother gave me a lot of gifts."

"I see. I thought you wanted to be a senior sister. Actually, it's not impossible. Although my disciples are not divided into relatives or strangers, your third and fourth senior brothers are nominal disciples. If they are willing to call you senior sister, I will not stop them."

Nv Qing's eyes lit up. Yes, it was reasonable for a registered disciple to call a direct disciple "senior sister".

"Their cultivation is slightly inferior to that of your second senior brother. If you work hard, you will have a chance." Qingxuan encouraged.

Nv Qing lowered her head again. She was a little worse than the second senior brother, so she had no chance.

Forget it, forget it. As a junior sister, you can accept the gift. I will discuss it with my senior brothers later.

Thinking of this, the young woman suddenly felt that it was not bad.

Qingxuan sighed. This disciple was more shameless than he had expected. He raised his hand and poked him on the head.

"You should put more effort into your cultivation, otherwise, let alone your senior brother, you won't even be able to match your nephew's cultivation level."

"Isn't it because there is no one to teach the disciples? It's not the disciples' fault. If a student doesn't teach, it's the teacher's fault." Nv Qing muttered.

Qingxuan wanted to give her a slap on the head right away, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down. He really had never taught her.

"Okay, I have nothing to do recently, so I will teach you for a while, so that you won't complain about me not teaching you enough in the future."

Qing Xuan turned around and glanced back at her: "What are you standing there for? Follow me, the ghosts here have dissipated, do you want to stay here and wait for them to come and offer you tribute?"

"Isn't it okay? Isn't it natural to be thanked for doing good things?"

"Follow!"

"Disciple will obey Master's orders." Nv Qing hurriedly followed, and the master and disciple left the place.

On the way, Nv Qing glanced at him again and again, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Qing Xuan a little reluctant to pay attention to her.

But after all, she is now his disciple, not a laborer of Qingqiu, so the treatment is certainly different.

"If you have anything to say, feel free to speak up. If you have any doubts or questions about cultivation, feel free to ask."

"It's not a problem of cultivation." The young woman raised her hand and scratched her head, hesitantly saying, "When I was traveling in the human domain, I saw many sects accepting disciples, and the elders of the sects would give gifts or something..."

"..."

He had just called him "Master" a few times, and now he was directly asking for benefits from him. He was really rude.

Qingxuan was reflecting, was it because he was too harsh on the gourd vine, so he got the retribution?

But he is in the realm of Hunyuan and is not affected by cause and effect. What retribution can come upon him?

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Qingxuan asked.

"I dare not refuse the gift from my elders. It was given by my master under his watch. How can I dare to ask for more? Even if the gift is small, the sentiment is profound. It is my master's good intention. As a disciple, I should cherish it." The young woman responded in a low voice.

Qingxuan was so angry that he laughed. Aren’t you already asking for it?

What's also said about the thought behind a small gift? Is this what the recipient of a gift should say?

This traitor was clearly blackmailing him to stop being so stingy.

Otherwise, let Long Ji teach her.

Qing Xuan pointed at a long string of ornaments on Nv Qing's waist and said, "You already have all the magic weapons. As for the magic skills, I will teach you without you asking. As for the chance and destiny, it's too much for you to force. Too much is as bad as too little. It's not good for you. What else do you want?"

Qing Xuan paused for a moment before saying, "Moreover, the thing you lacked the most was already obtained when you became my disciple."

Unlike other disciples, Nu Qing has no shortage of magic weapons. Even though she has to return the River Map and Luo Shu, there is nothing in the world that suits her more than the seven innate top-grade spiritual treasure gourds.

How powerful could seven top-grade innate items be in her hands? This connection was even closer than that of a companion spiritual treasure.

Although, these were not given by Qingxuan, they belonged to Nuqing herself.

"Disciple understands that the identity of your direct disciple is the most precious gift to me. I am able to have the current fortune only because of your kindness." The young woman flattered in a servile manner.

She is not stupid. A bunch of treasures were delivered to her door for no reason. The Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Man, and even the Saints, all came to give her gifts. Isn't it for no reason?

"It's good that you know." The traitor finally said something pleasant, which made Qingxuan feel much better. "Well, just tell me, what do you want?"

"Junior brother Yang Jian's master, Jade Ding Zhenren, gave him a prehistoric exotic species, which is very powerful." Nv Qing said tentatively.

Qingxuan finally understood. This disciple had been talking for a long time, but it turned out that he was just coveting other people's ancient alien species and was now asking him for them.

Roaring Sky Dog? It does look pretty good.

Speaking of it, raising auspicious and strange beasts as mounts is indeed a trend in the ancient times. Among the disciples of the saints, all kinds of strange beasts emerge in an endless stream.

When he first saw Gu Huo, he just thought that this guy looked majestic and very cool.

It seems that none of his disciples have mounts, so how could he have any prehistoric alien creatures to give them as gifts?

After all, the ancient alien species are just like that, nothing special about them.

The young woman looked at Qingxuan eagerly, which made Qingxuan feel helpless.

This traitor really only knows how to make things difficult for his master. Long Ji would never do that. At most, she would just steal some spiritual fruits.

"Master, with your status, don't you have a mount when you travel? This is not worthy of your status."

Qingxuan was silent, looked at this closed disciple with a squint, and then smiled.

"Okay, you just want that ancient exotic species, don't you? I don't have any here. There are Phoenix and Qilin tribes in Qingqiu, but the Phoenix tribe is the same tribe as your two senior brothers. In addition, I do have a mount, and there is only one in the ancient world, but..."

The young woman was puzzled, but?

"But it has a bad temper. It's hard to say whether it can admit it. Let's meet it."

The young woman's eyes lit up slightly and she nodded rapidly.

Qingxuan looked at her strangely, but he didn't say anything. He landed in a forest in front of Nuqing and waved his hand. A crack in space appeared, and a ferocious and majestic head emerged from it, with scales and a single horn.

The ancient monster staggered out of the space gap, looked at Qingxuan, rubbed his head against it, then looked at the strange figure and was stunned.

Qingxuan patted Gu Hou and sat down on the bluestone nearby to watch the show.

Relying on the intuition of a ferocious beast, Gu Hou finally recognized Nüqing, the former innate gourd vine.

As brothers who were both exploited by Long Ji, Gu Hou felt a sense of sympathy and closeness towards Nv Qing. He walked closer, patted Nv Qing with his tail and said hello.

When she saw Gu Hou, a strange look flashed in Nv Qing's eyes. She was especially happy that Gu Hou was close to her. She flattered Qing Xuan and then reached out to touch Gu Hou's scales.

This look is indeed much more impressive than Roaring Sky Dog, especially its ferocious appearance, which will surely scare the Roaring Sky Dog so much that it will run away with its tail between its legs, never daring to bare its teeth at her again.

Gu Huo didn't notice anything unusual at first, and didn't reject Nv Qing.

However, gradually, Gu Huo realized that something was wrong.

There was something so wrong with the way the gourd vine looked at it. It was just like that little ancestor Long Ji, and was even thinking about running towards it?

The pair of huge beast eyes were filled with confusion as it stared at Nu Qing. The more it looked, the more it felt something was wrong. Gradually, hostility emerged in its eyes, and it became quite angry.

This damn gourd vine, I actually used it as a mount and wanted to ride on it.

Gu Hou, who had reacted, no longer had any intention of getting close to Nu Qing. He butted her with his head and knocked her out. He also rudely swung his tail like a dragon, knocking Nu Qing away and smashing her into a mountain in the distance. He bared his teeth and let out a few threatening roars.

It took a long time for Nuqing to crawl out from the collapsed mountain covered in dust and looked at Qingxuan with a face full of resentment.

"Didn't I tell you it has a bad temper? Don't act aggrieved. Not many Daluo can withstand its attack. I'm already showing mercy."

Nv Qing looked at Gu Huo. Gu Huo changed its shape and stared down at it, revealing a mouthful of teeth that flashed coldly. Nv Qing was so scared that she shrank her neck, moved around inconspicuously, and stood behind Qing Xuan.

When Gu Hou saw this, a human-like look of contempt flashed across his eyes. He squinted at her and snorted in disgust.

"Why is it suddenly angry?" Nv Qing really felt aggrieved. This mount was just like the magic ruler.

"Maybe it thinks you are a traitor." Qingxuan said with a smile.

Gu Hou nodded his huge head, showing his undisguised disdain for the young woman.

"..."

How unreasonable! I didn't do anything and was despised. The master didn't help to uphold justice, but just watched the show with a smile.

"How about? Discuss it with it again?" Qingxuan asked.

Nv Qing looked at Gu Hou, and after some hesitation, she shook her head. She felt that if she got close, she would be bitten. This guy looked at her like an enemy.

But it does look very majestic, and it would be nice to have a cub or something like that to raise. Just as the thought came to her mind, she saw Gu Hou wagging his tail at her. The tail almost broke all the bones in her body.

Gu Huo felt that this gourd vine was thinking about something rude. If Qing Xuan hadn't been here, he would have spanked her twice more.

Once you change into a new form, you forget your origins, you traitor!

Nu Qing suffered naked contempt from Gu Huo, which made her extremely depressed.

"Master, is this mount something that no one can command except you?"

"Your senior sister can use it."

"How does the elder sister use it?"

"Because it is not as fierce as your senior sister."

"Master Sister has a high level of cultivation?"

"Not bad, I just achieved the Dao of Hun Yuan not long ago."

And it has a close relationship with you. Qingxuan did not say this because there was no need. Nuqing would remember it when she reached the Taiyi realm.

Therefore, the plasticity of Nv Qing's character depends on her level before she reaches the Taiyi realm.

Although I am a bit thick-skinned now, I am not too rebellious.

Besides, being thick-skinned is not a bad thing. It is not easy to suffer losses. Just don't become shameless. He really needs to be taught a lesson.

Looking at the unexpectedly quiet measuring ruler beside him, he thought that this wicked treasure had led his disciple astray and was truly lacking in moral character.

In response to Qingxuan's accusation, the Heaven-Measurement Ruler refused to admit it, saying, "Your disciple is crooked at heart, and it has nothing to do with it."

Qingxuan certainly did not accept such sophistry. The implicit meaning of Liangtianchi was that Nuqing's temper was his and Longji's fault. How could such a thing be possible?

Not only did he slander him, but he also slandered Long Ji. This measuring stick is so vulgar.
