my apprentice is the villain

But this body is different.

Jiang Mingqing glanced at the endless staircase, then at the mountain peak piercing into the sky, feeling a little impetuous in his heart.

Slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air, and after slowly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he climbed up the stairs again.

It didn't take long for Jiang Mingqing to feel that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and even what he could see with his eyes became more and more blurred, but the road under his feet remained unchanged, it was still a jade-like staircase.

Jiang Mingqing felt very strange. He could clearly feel that his body had reached its limit, but after climbing for a long time, he still seemed to be standing still, unable to get up or down.

So he didn't care what Xu Gu said, and sat down on the steps directly, looking at the winding stairs.

When his breathing finally stopped hurting like a cracking lung, Jiang Mingqing stopped to think about the slightest thing he had just noticed.

He walked here for so long just now, but he felt that he was always standing still, repeating the memory action again and again.

He had an inaccurate idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to try it lightly now, who would know if that strange old man who was smiling one second but could kill you the next second would try to torture you in a different way Own.

So after I got better, I stood up and continued to climb the stairs.

Xugu on the top of the mountain sat on a chair, his closed eyes leaked a crack.

"If you can't find it now, then you don't need it, it's so slow."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and quietly waited for the result.

The more Jiang Mingqing walked, the more something went wrong. The sweat on his back had already wet his clothes and stuck them to his back.

Jiang Mingqing's face was pale. He glanced at the endless stairs, and then thought about the thoughts he had in his heart before, his eyes sank.

After walking for a while, Jiang Mingqing stopped suddenly, sat directly on the steps, and fanned himself with his hands.

Even more presumptuous, he even lay down on the steps, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep on the steps.

Jiang Mingqing, who closed his eyes, listened carefully to the movement around him with his ears, but after a while, it was still calm and he couldn't feel anything.

After thinking about it, Jiang Mingqing began to let go of his thoughts, his body relaxed to the extreme, and he felt sleepy after a while.

Jiang Mingqing drooped his eyelids, his head was bouncing like a chicken pecking rice, and there was a hint of cuteness on his expressionless face.

"Get up, are you still going to fall asleep here? Your heart is really big."

Just when Jiang Mingqing was half asleep and half awake, Xu Gu's voice appeared in Jiang Mingqing's ears again.

At this moment, the drowsiness in Jiang Mingqing's mind disappeared all of a sudden, and he quickly opened his eyes, and found that Xu Gu was standing on the stairs below him at this moment, looking down at him, with a bad expression on his face.

Jiang Mingqing realized that he had made the right bet, and smiled at Xugu, then got up from the ground calmly, and said with a smile, "I wonder if Immortal Xugu has anything to tell Mingqing here?"

"Could it be that Ming and Qing didn't live up to their expectations and let the Immortal Xugu lose face? If that's the case, Ming and Qing made a huge mistake over there. Ming and Qing will go down the mountain by themselves and never pester the Immortal." Jiang Mingqing blinked. Looking at Xu Gu with a face suddenly enlightened.

"Little baby, you are really pinching people."

Xu Gu looked at Jiang Mingqing, and it took him a long time to spit out a word quietly.

"Don't dare to be, I'm afraid that the immortal will praise Ming Qing, Ming Qing is just a mortal, how could he take advantage of the weakness of the immortal, I really dare not be it~" After finishing speaking, Jiang Mingqing looked at Xu Gu with a smile, and he didn't know in his heart How many times have I complained about Xugu.

"Hehe, good, not bad."

Xu Gu smiled, and with a wave of his hand, Jiang Mingqing saw the scene in front of him change.

The white jade steps under his feet have disappeared, replaced by a flat ground paved with stones, and next to him is a courtyard that looks like a mountain villa.

Xu Gu glanced at Jiang Mingqing who didn't respond, and took the lead to lift his foot into the villa.

Jiang Mingqing followed Xu Gu quietly, and glanced at the plaque above his head when he passed the gate.

On a wooden sign, written in black ink: Qingpingzong

Weird but familiar name.

This was Jiang Mingqing's first impression of Qing Pingzong, but in the days that followed, he discovered that apart from the names, there were a few other people here who were not normal.

Xu Gu led Jiang Mingqing into a large hall, where two people were sitting in the upper seat, talking quietly.

After seeing Xu Gu coming in, the two slowly separated, with smiles on their faces.

"Brother, you're back. How are you doing? Did you gain anything?" One of the men in white background and blue pattern asked Xu Gu with a smile.

"En." Xu Gu said lightly without looking at the man in blue.

The man in blue was not angry either, he still looked at Xugu and Jiang Mingqing behind him with a light smile.

"Master, this is Ming and Qing, surnamed Jiang, 12 years old, he is my closed disciple." Xu Gu looked directly at a sharp-edged man sitting next to the man in blue.

"Well, the water element Tianlinggen? It's a good seedling, Junior Brother, cultivate it well, maybe it can inherit your robe." The headman glanced at Jiang Mingqing lightly, and a vague smile appeared on his face.

Xu Gu didn't answer the head's words, and changed the topic: "Then since the senior brother of the head has already seen it, then I will take Ming and Qing back to Qingyu Peak."

After speaking, he turned and left the hall. Jiang Mingqing never said a word, and stood quietly at the same spot. When he saw Xu Gu turn around and leave, he also turned around and followed Xu Gu.

"Senior brother, this child is not simple..." the man in blue said, frowning.

"Since he is a disciple of Xugu, he is a disciple of Pingqingzong." The headmaster glanced at Jiang Mingqing's back and said lightly.

Jiang Mingqing followed Xu Gu, and suddenly felt that his future life would be very difficult, he shuddered deeply for his future life, and prayed devoutly for a blessing.

After Xu Gu came out of the main hall, he directly sacrificed his flying magic weapon, glanced at Jiang Mingqing lightly, and stood on the blanket.

Jiang Mingqing didn't wait for Xu Gu to open his mouth to remind him. After Xu Gu got on the blanket, he got on the blanket himself and sat on the blanket without saying a word.

Seeing that Jiang Mingqing was so self-conscious, Xu Gu didn't say anything, and directly drove his magic weapon to Qingyu Peak.

After Jiang Mingqing followed Xugu to Qingyu Peak, he immediately experienced what it means to be vast and sparsely populated.

Qing Yufeng's name is really worthy of the Qing character in it, there is no one in the deserted place, and there is nothing but a bamboo hut.

Looking at the bamboo house, Jiang Mingqing had an intuition. He didn't know why he felt that there was only one place to sleep in the bamboo house.

But at this moment, there are two people, Jiang Mingqing and Xu Gu, and the answer to who is sleeping on the bed is obvious.

Xu Gu also confirmed Jiang Mingqing's thoughts: "You can sleep here today. In the room, I left you the introductory exercises and the mental methods to be cultivated in the future. You can study and practice by yourself. If you really don't understand If you don’t have a place where you can write to me, I’m going to retreat for a period of time, if you don’t make any progress after I retreat, then don’t stay here.”

Xu Gu said a long series of words, but when he finished the last sentence, Jiang Mingqing could feel the indifference in Xu Gu's tone, as if he had really not reached Xu Gu's expected cultivation level, and I am afraid that he really Cool.

"Yes, the disciple will not disgrace the expectations of the master for the disciple."

"You do it yourself."

After Xu Gu left these words, he disappeared without a trace, leaving Jiang Mingqing alone.

Jiang Mingqing was very helpless, smiled wryly, and entered the room.

After Jiang Mingqing got up the next day, he took out the introductory exercises that Xu Gu said, and started his own cultivation path.

Time passed, and ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten years, Jiang Mingqing has been practicing alone on Qingyu Peak. If he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will not go to Xugu for advice, but slowly groping and practicing by himself.

Jiang Mingqing let out a breath of turbid air slowly, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were clear.

Feeling the aura slowly flowing in his body, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

At this moment, he has cultivated to the stage of Yuanying stage. Although he just entered the Yuanying stage, this kind of cultivation speed is already against the sky, but Jiang Mingqing himself does not know how terrifying his cultivation speed is. It's just that I still feel that my cultivation speed is too slow.

Having just broken through the golden core, Jiang Mingqing did not sit in the room, but went directly to the back mountain.

There is a warm pool in the back mountain of Qingyu Peak. The warm pool is not very useful. Apart from the function of never being heated, Jiang Mingqing has never discovered any other new uses of the warm pool.

"Mingqing, come to the bamboo house."

An ethereal voice drifted into Jiang Mingqing's ears, Jiang Mingqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed vaguely.

Still out.

The next moment, the man had already put on his clothes and flew towards the bamboo house.

After Jiang Mingqing flew to the bamboo house, he saw Xu Gu, who was still in a gray robe, standing at the door of the bamboo house with his back to him.

Jiang Mingqing narrowed his eyes, he could feel the unfathomable coercion coming from Xu Gu, but after scanning with his divine sense, nothing came out.

"Disciple respectfully welcomes Master to successfully exit the customs." Jiang Mingqing stood behind Xu Gu and said with a smile.

"Okay, I've only come here for one purpose." Xu Gu interrupted Jiang Mingqing, turned around slowly and continued, "I want you to swear to the devil that you will never harm the child I want you to protect."

"I don't know the name of the child Master wants me to protect, and where he lives." Jiang Mingqing glanced at Xu Gu, and said with a smile as before.

"He will have an accompanying blood jade on his body. When the time comes, we will meet up naturally. I want you to swear." Xu Gu changed the subject, his eyes were a little impatient.

Jiang Mingqing pursed his lips, and under Xu Gu's gaze, slowly spit out the oath of the heart demon: "I, Jiang Mingqing swear by the heart demon, I will never hurt that child, otherwise the heart demon will enter the heart, and there will be no redemption."

After the oath was over, Jiang Mingqing did not change at all.

Xu Gu looked at Jiang Mingqing, his eyes were no longer friendly.

"Master, haven't you forgotten? If the heart demon vows without a definite goal, it is impossible to succeed." Jiang Mingqing said.

"Why don't I know? I just want to give it a try, to see if I'm an exception. Hey, forget it, you have to promise me, kid, you must protect that kid." Xugu suddenly seemed to be getting old Like dozens of years old, the back looks much more lonely than before, speaking slowly and earnestly.

"Master, I can only assure you that if my own life is not in great danger, I will do everything to protect him. After all, you have saved my life. I am not an ungrateful person." Jiang Mingqing Looking at Xu Gu, he said word by word.

"It's just that the disciple is unclear about one thing."

"what's up?"

"Why do you want to recognize Mingqing as a disciple? Mingqing thinks that his aptitude is not superior, so why did he choose me?"
