Hard to be a master

"Although Senior Brother Jiuli had already been expelled from the school by the master at that time, after all, he had been our senior senior brother for so many years, and he had taken care of the senior brothers a lot in the early years, so everyone still tried their best to save him. At that time, Senior Brother Sun The medical skill is already one of the best in Kunlun, but there is nothing that can be done about a dead person. This incident even alarmed Immortal Yue Qi. Buried under a icy lake not far from the place where Master experienced catastrophe."

Shen Ziliu said: "That is to say, Jiuli was dead back then? Then why did he appear in Mount Emei again?"

Zi Lan said: "Besides, when I saw him that day, although I didn't feel spiritual power from him, it didn't look like my spiritual veins were cut off and my cultivation level was completely gone. It seemed more like I was hiding my spiritual power on purpose. and cultivation."

Guan Jingxuan said: "This is also something that I can't figure out...Maybe that person is not really Senior Brother Jiuli."

No, he is.

Zi Lan thought silently.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt strange.At that time, he also witnessed Jiuli being hit by a sky thunder and died on the spot.Could it be that Jiuli was reincarnated like him?But Jiuli's appearance is the same as before, it's not like he has a new body after reincarnation.

In the hasty meeting with Jiuli that day, Jiuli revealed two pieces of information in a few words, one is that he has a very clear understanding of the people and things around Guan Jingxuan, and the other is that he is planning something.This shows that someone in Kunlun is sending news to Jiuli.Who will it be?Moreover, all kinds of deviant actions of Jiuli back then were all because of Qi Yue, but now that Qi Yue has been ascended for many years, what else does he want to do?

Seeing Zilan frowning and thinking about something seriously, Guan Jingxuan said: "It's useless for us to think too much now. When we return to Kunlun, the teacher will tell Immortal Yue Qi about this matter. Now let's talk about who we will meet in Shushan tomorrow. thing."

After discussing matters related to going up the mountain the next day, Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan said good night to Guan Jingxuan, and went back to their rooms.After sitting alone for a while, Guan Jingxuan got up and left the room.

Xiankeju is divided into two courtyards, the front and the back, and there is a small garden between the courtyards.It was past Xu time, except for the night watchman, even if they hadn't gone to bed, the others settled down in their own rooms and didn't go out anymore, so the garden could only hear the lively sound of summer insects, but there was no one in sight.

Guan Jingxuan sat down on the stone bench in the garden, took out the sound transmission ring Ling Xifeng gave him, and slowly injected spiritual power.Soon, Ling Xifeng's voice came from the ring.

"Jingxuan, what's wrong?"

Ling Xifeng hadn't been back to Kunlun for a long time since he took Qingyin on a trip. Although he would definitely go to see Guan Jingxuan every time he returned to the mountain, the stay was not long. The last time the two met was half a year ago.When Guan Jingxuan heard her friend's voice at first glance, she suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't contact each other much through the sound transmission ring during the period. Both of them were concerned about each other's recent situation, gossiping for a while, and then Guan Jingxuan got to the point.

"Xifeng, we met a person recently. I haven't seen him personally, but both of my apprentices have met him once. The person said that he is... Jiuli."

After the sound transmission ring was silent for a while, Ling Xifeng's voice came from the ring again: "Did you meet him in Mount Emei?"

Guan Jingxuan asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Ling Xifeng said: "Do you still remember a few years ago when you took Shen Ziliu to Xuanlingchi to recuperate the cold syndrome, I just came back from outside, and I met Immortal Yue Qi on the way."

Guan Jingxuan nodded subconsciously: "I have an impression."

Ling Xifeng said: "Then do you still remember when I said that I met a senior who shouldn't appear in Emei?"

Guan Jingxuan was surprised: "What do you mean—you met Senior Brother Jiuli at that time?!"

Ling Xifeng said: "Judging from his aura, that person is indeed Jiuli."

Guan Jingxuan murmured: "...But how is it possible? Back then we saw Senior Brother Jiuli die under the thunder, and even buried him with our own hands... Then Immortal Yue Qi knew about it long ago?"

Ling Xifeng said: "I know. But Immortal Yue Qi said that this matter has its own destiny, so don't worry too much."

Guan Jingxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, since Immortal Yue Qi said so, there should be no problem."

Ling Xifeng said: "No matter how Jiuli came back from the dead, it is a fact that he reappeared now. If you meet him in the future, you must be careful."

Guan Jingxuan said helplessly: "I know, after all, Senior Brother Jiuli hasn't seen me for a day since I joined the sect."

Ling Xifeng said: "I told you to be careful not because Jiuli used to dislike you, but because I found out when I saw him last time that he had already abandoned immortality and cultivated demons."

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and lost her voice: "Cultivating demons?!"

The reason why he was so surprised was because the monks who had formed alchemy could not turn to cultivating demons unless they fell into demons.And the fallen demon must be someone who has been completely corrupted by the demons in his heart.Such a person can no longer cultivate immortals, nor can he become a demon king, and he can never get rid of his inner demons for the rest of his life, and his personality is often very surly.Therefore, no matter whether it is placed in the human world or the demon world, fallen demons are unwelcome existences.

For a moment, Guan Jingxuan's mood was a little complicated.Although the former elder brother was extremely unfriendly to him and even wanted his life, Guan Jingxuan was very moved by Jiuli's falling into the devil after all.But in this way, some of Jiuli's extreme behavior in the last few years seems to be able to be explained.

Hearing Guan Jingxuan's sigh, Ling Xifeng didn't say anything consoling, but just changed the subject and said, "Qing Yin will return to Kunlun to participate in the pill formation trial after a while, when will you come back?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "It should be soon. There are still five days before the discussion on Taoism in Shushan. When the discussion is over, I will take two apprentices back to Kunlun, and forge them natal spiritual weapons as soon as possible. At most half a month, I should be back. "

Ling Xifeng said: "I still have something to do here, I can't go back to Kunlun for now, and I will ask Qing Yin to bring you a gift back then."

Guan Jingxuan smiled and said: "Every time you go out, you bring me a bunch of rare spiritual weapons and magic weapons, and I don't need them, so why not give them to Qing Yin."

"Be prepared, just keep it for you." Ling Xifeng paused, and wrote lightly: "There is one more thing, yesterday I broke through the stage of transforming gods and entered the stage of crossing the catastrophe."

Guan Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then said pleasantly: "So fast?! Congratulations!"

Ling Xifeng chuckled and said, "What about you? Have you made any progress recently?"

Guan Jingxuan also smiled and said: "It's not that you don't know, it's good if you don't regress. It's my limit to enter the Nascent Soul Stage, so don't ask too much of me!"

Ling Xifeng sighed helplessly.

Guan Jingxuan said: "Entering the tribulation period is really worth celebrating, and I should also give you a congratulatory gift. What does Xifeng want?"

Ling Xifeng said: "Your safety and success in Kunlun is the best gift to me."

Guan Jingxuan's heart warmed, and she said softly: "Xifeng, you have been protecting me and taking care of me all these years. Although my ability is limited, I hope I can do something for you."

Ling Xifeng was silent, and said: "Then make me a sword tassel with your own hands, just a few days ago, Yin Lan's sword tassel was broken."

Guan Jingxuan smiled and said, "Okay. I'll congratulate you in person when you come back next time."

After chatting with Ling Xifeng, Guan Jingxuan put away the sound transmission ring and went straight back to the guest room to rest, but the room next to him was empty at some point.

In the early morning of the next day, the three masters and apprentices all changed into relatively formal robes, and Yufeng went up to Mount Shu.Unlike Kunlun, which is deserted, Shushan is very lively, and Shushan disciples wearing the same style of clothes of different colors can be seen everywhere.The three landed in front of the gate of Shushan Mountain. After reading their invitation letter, a gatekeeper disciple led them in personally.

In the Qingsong Pavilion of Shushan, the three masters and apprentices met Weiran, the deputy head of Shushan.Wei Ran looks to be about thirty years old, wearing a toga with wide sleeves that is different from other disciples, with a pleasant face, but does not hide her courage at all.

After forming the pill, the monks can keep their appearance forever, but due to various considerations, some monks will choose to make themselves look more mature, not so young, such as the more famous figures in the families of various sects.Of course, there are also some monks who don't care much about their appearance, and they don't even let their appearance stay in the most youthful period, but let the wind and frost of the years carve marks on their faces, but the life span of a cultivator is longer than that of ordinary People are longer, so their aging rate is much slower than that of ordinary people.

After seeing Wei Ran with two disciples, Guan Jingxuan handed over Qi Shu's personal letter and greeting stickers.

Wei Ran looked at it and said with a smile: "It turns out that they are the disciples and grandchildren of the Immortal Danyang. Please sit down and serve tea."

Guan Jingxuan said: "Master Wei knows the teacher?"

Wei Ran sighed: "It's not just acquaintances. I met your master when we discussed Taoism in Shushan, and I can't count how many times I have tried it. Obviously I won more times at that time, but your master has been ascending for so many years. It’s really a shame that you can’t understand the way of heaven.”

Guan Jingxuan laughed and said, "Master Wei is humble."

Wei Ran sized up the two apprentices sitting next to Guan Jingxuan, and said, "Are these two young Taoist friends representing Kunlun to participate in the discussion on Taoism in Shushan?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded and said: "The two of them are my apprentices, thanks to Yue Qi Xianzun's care, let them come to open their eyes and be taught."

Wei Ran said: "The two young friends seem to be young."

Guan Jingxuan said: "They are all in their early twenties."

Wei Ran nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, I have formed a golden core at a young age, and I am young and promising."

The three quickly said a few words of humility.

Wei Ran said again: "We in Shushan also have a few juniors who are similar in age and cultivation level to the two young fellow Taoists. You may be able to compete in the Taoist discussion in Shushan this time. If you can become friends, it will be a good story. "

After Wei Ran and Guan Jingxuan exchanged pleasantries for a while, a Shushan disciple stepped forward to report: "Master, the people from the Changling Family of Penglai Xiandao have arrived."

Guan Jingxuan immediately got up with two apprentices and said, "Master Wei is busy with affairs, so we won't bother you any more."

Wei Ran did not continue to be courteous with him, nodded and said: "The three of you have come from a long way, please forgive me if you have not taken good care of it. Three days later, Chenshi will hold a lottery for the discussion at Feixue Pavilion. Please be there on time .”

Afterwards, the three of them bid farewell to Weiran, and after a brief visit to Shushan Mountain under the guidance of a disciple of Shushan Mountain, they returned to Taoyuan Town.
