Hard to be a master

"What do you think?"

The black civet cat squatted beside the lotus pond, flicking its tail anxiously, and the spiritual flames of its tail drew blue arcs in the air.

In the lotus pond, a lotus flower half a foot high out of the water tremblingly opened halfway.This lotus grows very strangely. There are three cyan petals on the outermost layer. The petals that have bloomed inside are mixed with black and red. Very ominous.

Fufeng stared silently at the half-opened lotus for a long time, then suddenly turned into a human form, and stretched out his hand towards the strange lotus. Just when his fingertips were about to touch the petals, a circle of blood-red flames suddenly shot up around the lotus, killing the lotus. guard in it.Fufeng withdrew his hand the moment the flames burst out, but his fingertips were still burnt by the flames, showing some scorched black.

There was scorching pain from the fingertips, but Fufeng's expression did not change, and he wrote lightly: "What do you think this lotus is?"

The civet flapped its tail on the ground and said, "I thought it was the Mieshi Heilian before, but now it looks a bit like the Karmic Fire Red Lotus..."

Fufeng turned back into a white peacock, and there was a small burn mark on the tip of the right wing.

"Neither. Whether it is the Mieshi Black Lotus or the Yehuo Red Lotus, they are both ancient gods and have owners. They will never fall in Kunlun for so many years and no one will come to find them. But this lotus is indeed stained with Mieshi Black. The breath of the lotus and the fire red lotus, and the demonization is very serious, it is very likely that it is something that was affected by the creation green lotus before it was destroyed."

The civet squinted his eyes, and said: "Such a dangerous thing fell on Kunlun, and those immortals and lords don't care?"

Fufeng said: "Before it suddenly opened a crack a few days ago, even I didn't notice anything unusual about this flower, and it was even more impossible for ordinary people to notice it. As for why it bloomed suddenly after being silent for so many years, it's completely unknown. What will happen after opening is unknown. The only known thing is that its blooming is affected by Shen Ziliu's inner demon. If it fully blooms, it will not only backfire on Shen Ziliu, but also hurt the associates of the inner demon. "

The civet asked: "So you should have listened to me at the beginning and killed it directly."

Fufeng gave the civet a cold look: "I told you, don't even think about it."

The civet said: "I can understand that you don't want to hurt Guan Jingxuan, but why do you want to protect his apprentice?"

Fufeng didn't answer its question, and instead said: "Shen Ziliu's inner demon is related to Jing Xuan. Now that this situation occurs, something must have happened between the two of them. Although the lotus has not been opened for the time being, the status But it’s extremely unstable, so we have to find a way to remind them.”

The civet was slightly surprised: "Didn't you always just watch and not interfere?"

Fufeng glanced at it: "This time...it's different."

The civet licked its front paws, its pupils shrinking into a line were extremely sharp: "I always feel that you are hiding something."

Fufeng ignored it, turned his head and took a piece of feather from the top of the wing. After injecting some spiritual power into the feather with a little concentration, the feather suddenly transformed into a white parrot, flapping its wings and hovering in front of Fufeng.

"Go to Shushan to find a square inch, let's go."

The little parrot screamed, then flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

The civet looked at Fufeng and asked doubtfully, "Fang Cun? Didn't he die a long time ago?"

"Reincarnation." Fufeng didn't say much, shaking his feathers and preparing to leave: "Instead of caring about others, it's better to solve your own problems first. If you don't make a contract with others, you have to go back to Dongpu."

The civet cat was about to speak, when Fufeng said coolly: "Jing Xuan, don't count on it, he won't be able to cultivate the stage of transformation in this life."

After one night, both master and apprentice did not rest well.Guan Jingxuan has always refused to recognize the bed, but this time, for some reason, she always felt a little inexplicably uneasy, and only fell asleep lightly after tossing and turning in the middle of the night.Shen Ziliu was sleepless all night, sitting directly on the roof of Guan Jingxuan's room and watching the moon all night.

In the evening, Zi Lan arrived as scheduled.After settling down and having dinner, the three of them gathered in Guan Jingxuan's room to talk.

"Is Zi Lan's matter settled?"

Zi Lan nodded and said, "It's done, just go back to Kunlun and hand over the things to Venerable Wan Feng after the matter here is over."

Guan Jingxuan smiled and said: "That's good, then the matter of you and Xiaoliu's natal spirit weapon will be settled."

Shen Ziliu handed the brewed tea to Guan Jingxuan and Zi Lan, and silently listened to the chatting between the two without interrupting, while peeling sugar-fried chestnuts in his hands leisurely.

Zi Lan looked calmly at Guan Jingxuan and then at Shen Ziliu, always feeling that the atmosphere between the two seemed to be a little different from before he left, but there was no difference in words and deeds.

After taking a sip of tea, Zi Lan went on to say, "By the way, this time, at the old acquaintance of Master Wan Feng, the disciple met a person. Because the person looked at the disciple with strange eyes, the disciple paid a little attention to it, and I am sure. I haven't seen this person before. But before I finished my business and left, that person suddenly asked me what my relationship with Master is."

Guan Jingxuan was surprised: "Me? But I don't know anyone in Mount Emei."

Zi Lan said: "At that time, he looked like he knew Master, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. The disciple told the truth and asked about the identity of the other party. The man said that his name was Jiu Li."

Guan Jingxuan's face was shocked when he heard the words, and Shen Ziliu's hand peeling the chestnuts also paused. The master and apprentice asked in unison: "Jiuli?!"

Hearing Shen Ziliu's voice, Guan Jingxuan turned to look at him: "Xiao Liu knows this name?"

Shen Ziliu frowned and said, "I just heard what Zi Lan said, and I finally remembered that when I was separated from Master and you, the person I met was called Jiuli."

Shen Ziliu described the other person's appearance, and Zi Lan affirmed, "That's right, this is the person. Does Master know him?"

An indescribable expression appeared in Guan Jingxuan's eyes, and after a long silence, he slowly said: "You all know that the master's elder brother is Fengzheng Shangzun Gu Qinglan. It's not Senior Brother Gu, but Jiuli."

Shen Ziliu was puzzled and said, "Then why...?"

Guan Jingxuan was silent for a while, and then said with a long sigh: "Because the master was expelled from the school before he ascended."

Although Zi Lan was the reincarnation of Fang Cun, in the previous life, he only knew that Qi Yue suddenly expelled Jiuli from the master's school when he was about to ascend, and he didn't know what happened during that time. Zu, I don't feel like someone who would easily abandon his disciples, what did that senior Jiuli do?"

Guan Jingxuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "Originally, family ugliness should not be publicized, but since you two are my apprentices, you can also be regarded as members of Qinghui Palace, so it should be fine to tell you. Brother Jiuli was kicked out of the school for three crimes: One is to hurt fellow disciples, the other is to offend Master, and the third is to attempt to prevent Master from ascension."
