Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 113 You are qualified to stand side by side with me!

"Today, you win."

Angry Arhat's broken promise made Saint Chi Ling's final plan come to nothing.

Staring indifferently at the solemn-looking Li Jiufang on the tower, the figure of Saint Chi Ling slowly rose into the sky, and the endless brilliance condensed into a path of light made of petals under her feet.

"But Li Jiufang, although I am defeated today, I am not convinced.

I have not lost to you.

If it weren't for that sword cultivator causing trouble.

You know what your success or failure will be today.

The grudge between you and me is not over yet.

One day, I will definitely wash away the shame of today. "

The figure gradually faded away on the path of petal light, and the voice of Saint Chi Ling echoed hollowly.

"Win?"

The brigade commanders looked at each other in disbelief and slowly raised the corners of their mouths.

"Win!"

"Win!"

"Win!"

"Win!"

A roar of joy like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly erupted from the city wall.

The sergeants who had always thought of dying for their country did not expect that they could survive this war, and immediately hugged each other to celebrate.

Their faces were filled with the joy of victory, and their eyes revealed determination and courage.

Below the city walls, residents witnessed all this.

They expressed their respect for the brave actions of the guards with warm applause and cheers.

Men and women, young and old, hugged each other, jumped and shouted victory slogans at this moment.

They released the pressure and fear that had been accumulated in their hearts for a long time, and replaced it with joy and celebration.

The whole city was boiling with excitement, and the atmosphere of celebration permeated every corner.

People poured into the streets to celebrate the successful defense of the city.

At this time, the sky breaks.

A ray of golden sunshine splashed down, shining on a little girl's face, like a warm embrace.

She closed her eyes slightly, her face filled with joy and tranquility.

Turning back to look at the people singing and dancing to celebrate the victory, Li Jiufang showed a happy and satisfied smile on his face.

Finally, they all survived.

Just as everyone was celebrating and cheering.

A figure hidden in the light mist was preparing to leave silently at this moment.

I noticed something somewhere.

Li Jiufang turned sideways and saw the mist leaving silently.

His eyes moved and he said nothing.

Li Jiufang moved and quietly caught up with Qi Xiu who was about to leave.

……

A hidden place in the blind corner of the city wall.

A figure suddenly stopped in front of Qi Xiu's escape light.

"I, Li Jiufang, the magistrate of Qingliu County, kindly ask you to stay a moment."

After stopping Qi Xiu, Li Jiufang looked sincere and opened her mouth.

Suddenly stopped by the county magistrate, Qi Xiu frowned and pondered for a moment, then used the magic formula to dissipate the water mist and escape the light.

But the face is still covered by a white mask turned into a hundred-face mask.

"The enemy has just retreated, and there are many things going on. If County Magistrate Li doesn't handle official duties, why do you stop me from doing anything?" Qi Xiu asked lightly with a rich voice.

But just before Qi Xiu finished speaking.

Li Jiufang, who was opposite him, bent down and bowed deeply to him.

"Your Majesty sacrificed your life to protect our [-] people in Qingliu County. Please accept Jiufang's respect."

Startled by Li Jiufang's sudden bow, Qi Xiu was about to turn away when a voice message came to his ears.

It was the voice of Taoist Priest Qingya.

"Don't hide."

This voice seemed to contain inexplicable power.

After hearing this, Qi Xiu subconsciously stopped and bowed to Li Jiufang.

"Thanks to your righteousness today, otherwise our Qingliu County would have been attacked by rebels, and the people in the city would have been massacred by vicious hands.

I wonder if you can leave your name.

Li also wanted to let the people know who saved them. "Li Jiufang said sincerely.

"That's unnecessary."

Always seeking to keep a low profile, Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of an idea:

"If you want to thank me, just thank Taoist Qingya of Lingguang Baozong.

This move to protect Qingliu County was actually guided by him. "

Taoist priest, don't say I'm not interesting enough.

Now the opportunity is mine.

The fame is yours.

It can be considered as a way of repaying your teachings.

"Taoist Priest Qingya..."

After hearing these four words, Li Jiufang's eyes suddenly became complicated and strange. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"Your Excellency... do you recognize Taoist Priest Qingya?"

Ok?

Could it be that Li Jiufang had a grudge against him?

Realizing that something was not right in Li Jiufang's eyes and tone, Qi Xiu changed the subject:

"That's right, but I'm not familiar with it."

"Don't get me wrong, Your Excellency, I have no enmity with Taoist Priest Qingya, it's just that you just said that I am Taoist Priest Qingya of Lingguang Baozong.

as far as I know.

Lingguang Baozong does have a Qingya Taoist priest.

But he had been expelled from the Lingguang Baozong six years ago and expelled from the mountain. "

"what?"

Qi Xiu's expression changed slightly.

"What's the reason?"

“I only heard about this.

I heard that this Qingya Taoist broke into the forbidden area of ​​Lingguang Baozong secretly. Not only did he steal several volumes of forbidden ancient scriptures, but he also caused a scene in Lingguang Baozong and injured many people.

Later, Lingguang Baozong paid heavily to arrest this Taoist priest.

But somehow it got canceled later.

Later, Lingguang Baozong sealed the gate of the mountain and it remains to this day. "

Li Jiufang's words made Qi Xiu feel terrible.

The fat Taoist who usually smiles all day long but his eyes light up when he sees the talisman.

He was actually a ruthless man who once caused trouble in the Lingguang Baozong and escaped unscathed.

And judging from the fact that Lingguang Baozong first wanted him, and then suddenly canceled it.

Taoist Priest Qingya not only left the sect peacefully after causing trouble.

He must still have the handle of the Spiritual Light Treasure Sect in his hand.

Otherwise, how could the Lingguang Baozong be forced to cancel the wanted order or even close its doors?

<divclass="contentadv">You must know that Lingguang Baozong is not a small sect.

But it is a full-fledged old-fashioned righteous religion.

From its ability to monopolize the talisman market in the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, we can see its huge size and strong strength.

And this is such a great religion.

But it was defeated in the hands of Taoist Qingya.

That fat Taoist who always smiles on weekdays hides a terrifying amount of strength.

"Let's discuss the details here when we get home."

Qingya Taoist's voice came to his ears again, and Qi Xiu nodded silently.

Although Taoist Qingya has such a terrifying identity and background.

But the two got along during this time.

He didn't show much ruthlessness and viciousness.

What's more, if this Qingya Taoist really wants to do something to himself.

Judging from his ability to cause trouble in the Lingguang Baozong.

If you want to resist, it's just a fly shaking a tree or a moth flying into a flame.

“Today’s matter, regarding Taoist Priest Qingya, I hope County Magistrate Li will keep it secret.

Everything happens for a reason, and I can't explain it much.

Even if it is my only request to save the people of this city, I wonder if County Magistrate Li can agree to it. "

After rolling up his sleeves and raising his hand, Qi Xiu asked Li Jiufang for confidentiality.

"Don't worry, Li will definitely not say a word about Taoist Priest Qingya."

I know that this mysterious sword cultivator should have a low-key personality and is unwilling to be too public.

Li Jiufang didn't force it anymore, but thanked Qi Xiu again for saving Qingliu County, and then watched Qi Xiu leave.

……

Qi Xiu, who controlled the escape light and looked slightly solemn, returned to the courtyard house in the city.

Inside the courtyard.

Taoist Qingya, who had already brewed a pot of spiritual tea, was lying on the rocking chair.

The chair usually has to be pushed by Qi Xiu to rock it.

Today, it's pleasant to swing up and down.

"I'm back. Congratulations. I've got the opportunity."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Taoist Qingya raised his head with a smile.

"The Taoist priest's acting skills are first-rate, but it's so hard to deceive a young monk like me.

One of the ten outstanding young men of the Lingguang Baozong, a charming charmer, and an honorary Taoist priest of the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.

Why don't you say that you are the next leader of Lingguang Baozong. "

He strode to Taoist Priest Qingya and sat down next to him. Qi Xiu unceremoniously picked up a cup of spiritual tea and drank it in one gulp.

"It could have been possible..."

After muttering something inaudible, Taoist Priest Qingya showed his iconic smile:

“I’m not lying to you, these are the titles I got before I was expelled from the clan.

None of it is fake.

Having said that, don't play with me.

I've got the opportunity for you.

It's time for you to fulfill your promise.

Say, who is your master? "

"Opportunity, I still don't understand what opportunity you are talking about.

As for who my master is..."

Glancing at Taoist Qingya meaningfully, Qi Xiu turned the quilt upside down, rolled up his sleeves and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Taoist Priest is so smart. I'm afraid he's already like Ming Jing in his heart. You still need to ask me?"

"You kid..."

Also squinting his eyes, Taoist Priest Qingya also rolled up his sleeves.

Four eyes facing each other.

The atmosphere is stagnant.

"Hahaha!"

Unable to hold back, he burst out laughing at the same time. Taoist Qingya rubbed his fat and round belly:

"When I saw you for the first time, I knew who you were talking about as a master, a small sect with only three or five people in your generation.

It's all bullshit.

Not to brag to you, as long as there are talisman-cultivating sects in the Great Xuan Dynasty, I have been to all of them.

So I saw through you a long time ago. "

After laughing, Qi Xiu slowly put away the smile on his face:

"If that's the case, then why did the Taoist master teach me the method to help me win this opportunity in Qingliu County?"

"Because of what?

Of course it's because I am pleased with you. "

Sitting up from the rocking chair, Taoist Qingya's eyes rarely showed a trace of concentration and sharpness.

"You have a scent that is completely different from that of ordinary monks, especially those disciples of wealthy families.

Distinctive personality, unrestrained, and unafraid.

I see myself in you from many years ago.

The path I'm on now is so lonely.

Walking alone, empty and lonely.

And you have the potential to walk with me. "

Unexpectedly, he could have such a high opinion from a great monk like Taoist Qingya. Qi Xiu smiled and said:

"So the Taoist leader guides me to seize opportunities, which is regarded as an investment in me?"

"Yes, although you have great potential, you are still too young.

In the eyes of the secular world, those who have entered the Taoist realm are already like terrestrial gods.

But for the spiritual world.

Entering the Tao is just the beginning.

Stained with blood, Tao body, and soul.

The road you have to go is still far, far away.

Qi Xiu, you are qualified to be with me in the future, but that is the future.

Helping you this time is the limit.

Interfering too much with your growth will harm you.

Practice well and I will teach you the method.

But never reveal anything to anyone else.

Remember to remember!

Hope to see you next time.

Your growth can give me a surprise. "

The words lingered, and under Qi Xiu's gaze, the smiling figure of Taoist Qingya gradually faded into blur, and finally completely disappeared into the air.

Only the rocking chair.

Still shaking slightly.
