Cultivate with an African God
Chapter 144
It was a young man with a cold face, standing not far behind them.
That person's appearance was exquisite, even better than Shen Xiu's by a few points. It was supposed to be a pleasing appearance, but because there were so few traces of aura that did not belong to human beings, it looked extraordinarily strange.That was Shen Xiu's former master, Ji Wang, the head of Tianji Peak of Yunfu Sect.
After Shen Xiu yelled that sound, she didn't speak, and Ji Wang just looked at him from afar.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to drop to freezing point, Mu Xinghe wanted to say something to invigorate the atmosphere, but it was Shen Xiu who spoke first.
"I thought Master would be in the Sea of Wind Realm."
On Ji Wang's face was the indifference that Mu Xinghe often saw with Shen Xiu—no joy, no disgust. From this perspective, the two were indeed a pair of master and apprentice.
"I set up that magic circle with my own hands, but if there is a slight disturbance, even if I am not in this world, I can still feel it."
"Master, as soon as this matter is over, I will arrest you and let you handle it," Shen Xiu suddenly sighed slightly, his expression was a bit inexplicably sad and guilty, but his tone was firm, "But not now .”
The bonfire in the distance was almost burnt out, leaving only a little spark, which stubbornly lit up in this cold night.
Suddenly a figure came down from the cliff in the distance, before the others arrived, he said, "Hey, isn't this Ji Wang? Didn't you ask yourself to guard the Fenghai Territory? Have you found someone to take your place? If not." I'm afraid you will be here to accompany me after a while, rare guest—but you are so boring, not as interesting as this little brother, you should go back earlier—"
The man came over as he was talking, and he didn't know how he could walk so quickly, and he grabbed Mu Xinghe, as if he knew him very well.
Ji Wang was told a lot by this person, but he didn't respond, he just let out a "huh" and didn't know whether he agreed or didn't care.
When Shen Xiu saw the person coming, she lowered her head and called out, "Uncle Li."
But Mu Xinghe turned his head in surprise and looked at the person who was hooking shoulders with him, Shen Xiu wanted to call out the seniority of his uncle, maybe it wasn't the Jindan senior brother he thought of.
The other party also noticed the look in his eyes, and said "Hey", but treated Shen Xiu harshly - he was still laughing, but when he looked at Shen Xiu, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said sharply: "Who is your teacher? Uncle? Does Yunfu still have disciples like you?"
Shen Xiu lowered her eyes, she didn't seem to be disturbed by the opponent's aura, she just said very respectfully: "Uncle Master has taught you well, this disciple is a rebellious disciple, so naturally he dare not stay in Yunfu."
Mu Xinghe felt the people around him tremble, and grinned his teeth: "Forget it, don't talk about this kind of scene, it's disgusting to listen to, and it's not fun for you to be a demon king."
Shen Xiu raised the corners of her lips: "Uncle Master is absurd."
When Shen Xiu's eyes fell on Mu Xinghe's body, she looked gentler, and explained to him: "This is the head of Tianxuan Peak, Uncle Li Tingyun."
The first of the Yunfu Seven Peaks, there are two here today.Although Mu Xinghe had met the sect masters a few times, he hadn't had much close contact with these Qifeng bosses. Of course he was very curious at this time, and couldn't stop looking at them.
Probably because of Shen Xiu's attitude, Li Tingyun also looked at him curiously, then tightened his grip, dragged him away, and said, "Yes, yes, it's me, do you feel that? Honor? Come with me, and I'll tell you something about Shen Xiu's childhood."
Mu Xinghe could feel that he wanted to give the pair of master and apprentice some space to be alone. Although he was inexplicably reluctant, he waved his hand to signal to Shen Xiu, and followed.
After the two talkative people left, it became more and more silent here.In the distance, the bonfire was rekindled, and the flames danced in the wind.
"I never thought of blaming you," Ji Wang's words were a little abrupt, breaking the silence at the moment, his tone was softer when only Shen Xiu was with him, with the unconscious intimacy of being with him for many years, " I am your master, but I can't understand your motives for running away from Yunfu, and I can't solve a little trouble for you, the blame lies with me."
Shen Xiu smiled at the moment.It wasn't his usual smile with almost no warmth, nor his indifferent expression as Lord Linyuan who didn't care about everything, it was very gentle, like the spring breeze thawing, which was very common when he was still in Yunfu smile.
He smiled with a sigh: "I know. At the beginning he—that silly boy just now—said that you blamed yourself too much, please go to Fenghai Territory, I also know. But the mistake is the mistake, I can't solve the problem, it's because I haven't reached the level of cultivation, it's not Master's fault. I don't want Master to worry about me."
Ji Wang was looking at his former disciple, his expression was always cold, and his tone was often without warmth, which always made people feel that he was a particularly indifferent person.
He was silent for a long time, and when the cold wind subsided a little, he spoke.
"I don't like accepting disciples. One is that I have no patience, and I don't have much enthusiasm for others, so I am not suitable for cultivating disciples. Two, I am a half-demon body, and my cultivation is different from ordinary humans. Your personal pain is like Shouyuan And the body, I can't understand. But they said that I am already the master of the peak, and I should take in an apprentice to show my inheritance. So I accepted you.
When I saw you, I knew that one day you would achieve more than me.You are really talented, you have no distractions, and your realm is improving rapidly. They all say that I teach well. In fact, I am afraid that only you and I understand that I have done nothing.
You come, I will treat you indifferently, your practice has nothing to do with me, if you go, I will be at a loss. "
People who practice Taoism always have a much weaker sense of time than ordinary people. In their practice, they often open and close their eyes when winter goes and summer arrives again, and the small trees in the past have grown into towering giant trees.
"You said tell me not to care," Ji Wang's tone suddenly became urgent, he looked at Shen Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "As your master, I didn't do a single thing for you during your journey. Pass?"
Everyone said that Ji Wang of Tianji Peak had a cold face and a cold heart, and it was difficult to have feelings.He became alchemy very early and became famous very early, now many people can no longer hear his demeanor back then, they only know that he has a famous and talented apprentice named Shen Xiu.After a few more years, they began to say that he was the poor guy who was stabbed by his apprentice and retreated to recuperate.
The injury was not fatal, nor was it worth his three years of recuperation.Ji Wang just had a difficult problem in his mind, and when he came out of the retreat, he was still undecided, and even invited himself to enter the Fenghai Realm.
Everyone said he was bound by his apprentice's betrayal.But no one understood what he was thinking and trapped.
As time went by, he became a demon.
"Master," Shen Xiu's voice was clear, and he even smiled softly, "I blamed you."
In this cold night, among those howling night winds, he stood upright, with a gentle and calm expression, and said leisurely: "When I joined Master's school, you didn't pay attention to me. I have a grudge in my heart." Yes. I have many faults and many advantages. The biggest advantage is self-knowledge. I know that I have not made any mistakes in front of you, and I am even better than other disciples. But you are still so indifferent to me. Of course I can’t Convinced."
"But you taught me swordsmanship," Shen Xiu smiled slightly, "You are famous all over the world for your talismans and formations, but you are not good at swordsmanship, but you just heard that I practiced swordsmanship at home back then, so you deliberately Go learn a set of swordsmanship and teach me. You never mentioned it, and I didn’t realize it at the time. Only when I’m sensible can I understand such painstaking efforts. Only then did I understand that besides the swordsmanship, there are other Many things that I have never paid attention to—I came to Yunfu alone back then, and I was an outcast in my family. I only found out later that you gave me many things...better than those secret books of immortal magic, sword and immortal things, Master."
Ji Wang was silent for a long time.
The wind howled tonight, and the flames in the distance were extremely bright. Shen Xiu stood against the light, her jet-black hair was dyed the color of the flames, and the fine strands of hair were blown up by the wind.
Shen Xiu was still young when he started, even a little younger than most Yunfu disciples.Ji Wang watched him grow up.Watching him overcome obstacles all the way to the sky, watching him grow from a small boy to a handsome young man, from a child who knows etiquette so much that he keeps a habitual distance from others, to a senior brother Shen Xiu who is very close to others and loved by younger generations.
Now that Shen Xiu is standing in front of him again, no one in the world thinks that he is still his disciple.He was a notorious demon king who had committed a serious transgression that no one could tolerate. He was a disciple who seriously injured his master with his own hands, a traitor who rebelled against the sect, and a villain who was the enemy of all sects in the world.
But at this moment Shen Xiu was looking at him with admiration, using a friendly and gentle tone.
Shen Xiu suddenly took a step forward, and the distance between them became closer. Shen Xiu lowered his head, his voice was so sincere, his eyes were clear, with a different brilliance: "Master, I have never suffered from self-sufficiency, nor have I I don’t want you to suffer for me. I did something wrong, not because I have any unspeakable difficulties, but because I have to do something, and I should do it. Others don’t need to understand me. After I have done it, I should be guilty .”
"...so you don't need to tell anyone either, do you?"
"No," Shen Xiu looked at him, there was still light in his eyes, "It's not that I don't need to say it, but I can't. I'm already burdened, and I can't implicate more karma."
Shen Xiu finished speaking and looked at the sky.It was a dark night, with dark clouds covering the sky.
It was as if the heavy destiny was suppressed.
It was very cold, and Mu Xinghe was warming himself by the fire.He's not cold, he just thinks it needs to fit the atmosphere.But even though he is so dedicated, he is still a little restless, and from time to time he sticks his head out to look at the two people in the distance.
Li Tingyun was impatient and pulled him back.
"Don't look, you won't be able to fight," he backtracked, instead of telling the story of Shen Xiu's childhood, he asked instead, "Why didn't you say that Shen Xiu had a close relationship with you before? Let's see if you are safe!"
Mu Xinghe shook his head in a daze: "I didn't expect him to come... I think I'm the only one who can do this kind of thing."
Now Li Tingyun seems not interested in being a life mentor for confused teenagers, instead he sighed: "But the sword array is powerful, Shen Xiu must have been seriously injured if he ate it hard, it is really good to be able to hold on."
Mu Xinghe was a little anxious and almost stood up.
"Hey, hey," Li Tingyun pulled him back again, and said, "the master is there, he won't stab him. Come on, let's talk about something else, you said you murdered our sect Disciple, where did the great achievements come from?"
Mu Xinghe looked at the two people over there for a while, and finally withdrew his gaze, and said sullenly: "There is a brother named Song Lu in the door, who helped me a lot, and later I heard that he may have had an accident. Go to investigate, learn of his death, and report back to the Zongmen. Probably because of my relationship with Shen Xiu and the death I committed before, they thought that I deliberately murdered Brother Song, and fabricated a cause of death to report to the Zongmen."
"Ah..." Li Tingyun was stunned when he heard that, "It turned out to be Song Lu, then Bai Qingyang will be sad for a while—then what is the result of your investigation?"
When Mu Xinghe heard that the person in front of him was the head of Tianxuan Peak, he already remembered that Bai Qingyang also came from Tianxuan Peak, so he might be Bai Qingyang's master.Mu Xinghe was not surprised to hear Bai Qingyang's name from him now, but just told him exactly what the gray-clothed swordsman from the Yingzhou Sword Sect had said before.
Li Tingyun was silent for a while after listening, and the fire was flickering in his eyes.
"Song Lu has been trapped by his cultivation for several years. I am a person who has experienced it, and a person who cultivates the Tao, there will be such moments more or less, especially after the pulse is condensed and before the golden core. And no matter when, once you fall into the Stagnant, lifelong path is nothing more than that," Li Tingyun said, "He is a good friend of my apprentice, so I know him well. In the entry test, more than one master took a fancy to him. His talent is very good, His temperament is better, he is calm and calm, and he is not slow. However, he was bound by his own strengths in the end, and he has not taken the last step forward—I didn't expect that he would take that step later, but he was still a little behind , fell outside. The so-called fate is impermanent, I am afraid it is so."
Mu Xinghe listened, and suddenly recalled the appearance of Song Lv whom he had seen before, that calm and reliable senior brother, after all, was trapped by practice, and couldn't break out until he died.
Mu Xinghe asked: "Isn't it better to follow the way I used to be?"
Li Tingyun shook his head, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious: "That may not be the case. Those who are good swimmers will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall. Each of them will do what they like, but they will do their own harm. If you stand still, you may not be able to avoid perishing one day." .And for those who aspire to the Dao, no progress is tantamount to death, how can we not seek a breakthrough.”
"But horizontal is death, vertical is also death..."
Li Tingyun smiled, and the flames were reflected in his pupils: "It was originally like this—how can it be so easy to fight against the sky? Every step is dangerous, every step is trapped, you take a step forward , I am afraid that many people will fall down at the same time, the road that others can climb to the sky, but for you is an abyss, this is practice."
"It's hard." Mu Xinghe said.
"It's really difficult. You can enter Yunfu, you are one in a million, but if you can become a golden elixir, I'm afraid it's one in a million. The road is hard to achieve. After achieving the golden elixir, I don't know how many people will lose to the golden elixir .If you are not prepared to perish, not to mention cultivating the Dao, I am afraid that it will be difficult, but you must know that you will die at any time, and you must survive from death at any time."
Mu Xinghe recalled their entrance oath - "Look for a chance in the world without limit", and it was indeed a chance.
However, Li Tingyun suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Looking at you like this, you haven't experienced any setbacks. What about you, if you encounter such a predicament, what should you do?"
Mu Xinghe was stunned, and shook his head honestly: "I don't know. If there is a way today, I will walk on it. If there is no way to go tomorrow, I will go to see where I can go."
"Okay!" Li Tingyun laughed, "There is no fixed way to practice, and the way you can go is your way. You can understand this truth, which is very good."
Mu Xinghe spoke very naturally, he hadn't realized that he was also trapped by something.It's just that even if there is an obstacle, he doesn't feel confused, so no one can see it.
He still has a way, he can still go.
He still has a lot of things to do and he hasn't done, so he can't stop yet.
Li Tingyun didn't know what he saw, so he stretched, stood up and was about to leave.But Mu Xinghe saw that the bonfire was getting thinner, and felt that Shen Xiu might say something to him in a while—even if it was to say goodbye, so he got up and went to pick up some branches to play with.
When he came back with a handful of branches, Shen Xiu also walked towards him, and Mu Xinghe hurriedly ran over, a little closer to the boss, and chattered endlessly: "I said boss? Are you all right? Where is your master? Is he all right? You didn’t do anything, did you?”
In the light of the fire, he could already see the deep tiredness between Shen Xiu's brows and eyes. Mu Xinghe sat down on the ground, patted himself, and then threw branches into the fire. Go in and smoke comes out.Hearing the crackling sound, he suddenly felt a strange sense of steadfastness in his heart. He turned his head and looked over, and the boss was already sitting beside him. At the Sichuan Lantern Festival, he stood in a dimly lit place looking at the river lanterns.But it seems...something is different.
He smiled at Shen Xiu, and used a branch to stir the old firewood that was not completely burnt underneath.
"Boss, I actually practiced some medicine after I came back, do you want to take some before leaving..." He felt a bit like an old woman, but couldn't help but say more—he didn't realize that this was also Some kind of bewilderment, because he shouldn't be at a loss in front of this person, "I'm fine here, everything is still in my expectation."
"Stop talking," he heard Shen Xiu's low voice ringing in his ears, and then his shoulders sank, and some warm breath seeped through the fabric, "Let me rest for a while..."
After that sentence, Shen Xiu no longer made a sound, only breathing lightly and shallowly.
Mu Xinghe turned his head in astonishment, and saw that Shen Xiu had closed his eyes, with a deep tired look on his brows and eyes.The fire light reflected on his face, making his eyelashes longer and casting fine shadows.want to unplug.
The branch in Mu Xinghe's hand fell into the fire, the flame was suppressed for a moment, and the ground burned even more intensely.
He thought that the boss must be extremely tired, so tired that he forgot to restrain his own realm suppression.
Otherwise, why would my heart beat like a drum now, why would I hardly dare to breathe?
The author has something to say:
Why do you say!
That person's appearance was exquisite, even better than Shen Xiu's by a few points. It was supposed to be a pleasing appearance, but because there were so few traces of aura that did not belong to human beings, it looked extraordinarily strange.That was Shen Xiu's former master, Ji Wang, the head of Tianji Peak of Yunfu Sect.

"I thought Master would be in the Sea of Wind Realm."
On Ji Wang's face was the indifference that Mu Xinghe often saw with Shen Xiu—no joy, no disgust. From this perspective, the two were indeed a pair of master and apprentice.
"I set up that magic circle with my own hands, but if there is a slight disturbance, even if I am not in this world, I can still feel it."

Ji Wang was told a lot by this person, but he didn't respond, he just let out a "huh" and didn't know whether he agreed or didn't care.
When Shen Xiu saw the person coming, she lowered her head and called out, "Uncle Li."
But Mu Xinghe turned his head in surprise and looked at the person who was hooking shoulders with him, Shen Xiu wanted to call out the seniority of his uncle, maybe it wasn't the Jindan senior brother he thought of.
The other party also noticed the look in his eyes, and said "Hey", but treated Shen Xiu harshly - he was still laughing, but when he looked at Shen Xiu, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said sharply: "Who is your teacher? Uncle? Does Yunfu still have disciples like you?"

When Shen Xiu's eyes fell on Mu Xinghe's body, she looked gentler, and explained to him: "This is the head of Tianxuan Peak, Uncle Li Tingyun."

Li Tingyun shook his head, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious: "That may not be the case. Those who are good swimmers will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall. Each of them will do what they like, but they will do their own harm. If you stand still, you may not be able to avoid perishing one day." .And for those who aspire to the Dao, no progress is tantamount to death, how can we not seek a breakthrough.”
"But horizontal is death, vertical is also death..."
Li Tingyun smiled, and the flames were reflected in his pupils: "It was originally like this—how can it be so easy to fight against the sky? Every step is dangerous, every step is trapped, you take a step forward , I am afraid that many people will fall down at the same time, the road that others can climb to the sky, but for you is an abyss, this is practice."
"It's hard." Mu Xinghe said.
"It's really difficult. You can enter Yunfu, you are one in a million, but if you can become a golden elixir, I'm afraid it's one in a million. The road is hard to achieve. After achieving the golden elixir, I don't know how many people will lose to the golden elixir .If you are not prepared to perish, not to mention cultivating the Dao, I am afraid that it will be difficult, but you must know that you will die at any time, and you must survive from death at any time."
Mu Xinghe recalled their entrance oath - "Look for a chance in the world without limit", and it was indeed a chance.
However, Li Tingyun suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Looking at you like this, you haven't experienced any setbacks. What about you, if you encounter such a predicament, what should you do?"
Mu Xinghe was stunned, and shook his head honestly: "I don't know. If there is a way today, I will walk on it. If there is no way to go tomorrow, I will go to see where I can go."
"Okay!" Li Tingyun laughed, "There is no fixed way to practice, and the way you can go is your way. You can understand this truth, which is very good."
Mu Xinghe spoke very naturally, he hadn't realized that he was also trapped by something.It's just that even if there is an obstacle, he doesn't feel confused, so no one can see it.
He still has a way, he can still go.
He still has a lot of things to do and he hasn't done, so he can't stop yet.
Li Tingyun didn't know what he saw, so he stretched, stood up and was about to leave.But Mu Xinghe saw that the bonfire was getting thinner, and felt that Shen Xiu might say something to him in a while—even if it was to say goodbye, so he got up and went to pick up some branches to play with.
When he came back with a handful of branches, Shen Xiu also walked towards him, and Mu Xinghe hurriedly ran over, a little closer to the boss, and chattered endlessly: "I said boss? Are you all right? Where is your master? Is he all right? You didn’t do anything, did you?”
In the light of the fire, he could already see the deep tiredness between Shen Xiu's brows and eyes. Mu Xinghe sat down on the ground, patted himself, and then threw branches into the fire. Go in and smoke comes out.Hearing the crackling sound, he suddenly felt a strange sense of steadfastness in his heart. He turned his head and looked over, and the boss was already sitting beside him. At the Sichuan Lantern Festival, he stood in a dimly lit place looking at the river lanterns.But it seems...something is different.
He smiled at Shen Xiu, and used a branch to stir the old firewood that was not completely burnt underneath.
"Boss, I actually practiced some medicine after I came back, do you want to take some before leaving..." He felt a bit like an old woman, but couldn't help but say more—he didn't realize that this was also Some kind of bewilderment, because he shouldn't be at a loss in front of this person, "I'm fine here, everything is still in my expectation."
"Stop talking," he heard Shen Xiu's low voice ringing in his ears, and then his shoulders sank, and some warm breath seeped through the fabric, "Let me rest for a while..."
After that sentence, Shen Xiu no longer made a sound, only breathing lightly and shallowly.
Mu Xinghe turned his head in astonishment, and saw that Shen Xiu had closed his eyes, with a deep tired look on his brows and eyes.The fire light reflected on his face, making his eyelashes longer and casting fine shadows.want to unplug.
The branch in Mu Xinghe's hand fell into the fire, the flame was suppressed for a moment, and the ground burned even more intensely.
He thought that the boss must be extremely tired, so tired that he forgot to restrain his own realm suppression.
Otherwise, why would my heart beat like a drum now, why would I hardly dare to breathe?
