Bai Xiaoxiao: “…”
Yan Qing's words made him feel like he was struck by lightning. He froze in place, his thin and frail body trembling, his red eyes still filled with tears, he looked so pitiful.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt her tongue was tied up, and she spoke softly: "I..."
Tianshu started to have a headache again: "What is going on?"
Yan Qing picked up Bu Zhi who was sleeping on the ground and said with a smile: "Let Junior Brother explain it. I'm a little sleepy. There are too many people here. I'll find another room to sleep in."
He is now at the third level of Qi training and is basically just an ordinary person.
The people present could only watch him leave in dumbfoundedness.
A few thin red threads fell from Yan Qing's wrists. He was dressed in black and had black hair, and looked very graceful. He was holding a bird in his hand. He lowered his eyes in the light and glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao with a smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt that that glance froze her soul.
Yan Qing let go of her hand as he walked out the door.
Frustrated, she flew to his shoulder and asked, "Where are you going so late at night?"
It was already night outside, with a bright moon in the sky. The cage formation above the Huichun Sect glowed icy blue, and the peach blossom powder on the ground was shining with cold light, looking crystal clear.
The Immortal Alliance guarded the four directions. They were dressed in black, with only a faint red line on the edge of their robes outlining the outline of a lotus. Hidden in the darkness, they stood tall and cold, like a weapon that knew only to kill.
After learning about the Immortal Alliance from Tianshu, Yan Qing now fully understood this cruelty.
The status of the Immortal Alliance in the world of cultivation is superior to that of the Nine Sects and Three Families, and it has the unquestionable power of life and death. Under the layers of steps of the Xiaoyu Palace, there are countless greedy eyes of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Yan Qing asked: "Take you to see your old enemy?"
"who?"
"Zixiao."
Unsuccessful: “…”
Bu Zhi was furious: "No! I don't want it! I don't want to look at that old man anymore!"
Yan Qing was quite curious about what happened to him in Liuxianzhou, and asked, "How did Zixiao catch you?"
Dezhi talked about this depression: "That night I was hungry at home, so I went out to find something to eat, and then I caught a phoenix by the lake for dinner. As soon as I brought the phoenix home, the old thief Zixiao came to kill me."
It was getting angry as it spoke, and slapped Yan Qing's shoulders fiercely with its wings: "And this beast! He came to my house! He stole my phoenix! And he locked me up."
Yan Qing asked, "Why did Zixiao lock you up?"
Zixiao went there to capture the Phoenix Demon Seed. Buzhi is now just an immature bat that has never killed anyone and only knows how to eat. Logically, Zixiao would not deal with it.
Bu Zhi said aggrievedly, "I don't know. The old thief Zi Xiao said that I don't look like a good person. Even if I don't do evil now, I will do evil in the future."
"… "
Yan Qing tilted his head and glanced at Bu Zhi.
See its black body, strange wings, red eyes, and two erect ears.
Yan Qing said: "This reason actually makes sense."
If it wasn't for the fact that I discovered after the contract that the whole bird was stupid and foolish.
At first glance, it really doesn't seem like a good thing.
Despondent: “What do you mean?”
But after telling him about the experience that made him angry, he immediately started bragging: "However, how could I let him lock me up? It's so funny. I turned into grass and sneaked out. I endured for a year and finally got my revenge!"
After it finished speaking, it was about to exaggerate its glory in the dungeon, but suddenly it remembered the humiliating ending, and it wilted all of a sudden, angrily biting Yan Qing's hair with its teeth.
Yan Qing said coldly: "If you dare to break one of my hairs, I will roast you."
Unsuccessful: “…”
He spat out the hair in his mouth.
When Yan Qing walked to the back mountain, everyone in the Immortal Alliance was looking at him. Their eyes were like knives scraping at his body, like torture. But no one called him back, and no one did anything. The group of gifted Mahayana cultivators chose to remain silent.
Buzhi looked at those people cautiously with his red eyes. He was in Liuxianzhou, and his knowledge was shallow. He only knew that there were only nine sects, and had only a vague understanding of the Immortal Alliance.
"Those guys looked like they wanted to kill us."
Yan Qing whispered, "Yeah."
Frustrated: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Yan Qing: "Investigate what you are."
Unsuccessful: “???”
Yan Qing came to the back mountain alone that night, and it had already become a ruin.
The rocks collapsed, the prison was destroyed, and Zixiao's bones turned to ashes in the final confrontation with the Phoenix demon species.
Now, a secret realm has appeared above the abandoned wasteland of Youlao.
The purple entrance was filled with swirling spiritual energy, carrying golden thunder and silver lightning, surging and surging, hanging in the air like a high-hanging mirror.
This is probably the secret realm of Dongxu left behind by Zixiao’s failed tribulation.
A cultivator in the Dongxu stage can break through the void to practice. If he dies, all the spiritual energy in his body will break out of his body and gather in the void to form a secret realm.
The secret realm contains not only the cultivators' spiritual energy, but also the cultivators' love, hate, and concerns throughout their lives. The memories that have turned into obsessions deep in their hearts will seep into every corner of the secret realm.
The secret realm of Dongxu is hard to find. After all, there are only a few masters of this level of cultivation in the upper heaven.
Yan Qing had just been reborn and had directly witnessed the most powerful people in the Upper Heaven. He didn’t know whether his luck was good or bad.
"You want to go in?!" Although Dezhi didn't know what this purple mirror was, he was naturally sensitive to danger and was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up: "Damn it, don't take me to die!"
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't get in."
Yan Qing stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the entrance to the purple secret realm, but as soon as he touched it, icy frost had already condensed on his fingertips, as if he were in the coldest winter, covered in ice and snow.
He withdrew his hand in an instant.
The fingertips were covered with a light layer of frost, pale and translucent, but Yan Qing did not think it was beautiful.
Because this ice is not frozen on the surface of the skin, it is actually condensed together with your bones, tendons and blood, as if a sword is lying under the skin.
—One more second and you will die.
Yan Qing touched his fingers and looked up at the purple secret realm. It was completely expected. He sighed and said, "Look, it's impossible to get in."
"I only knew that Xie Shiyi would not allow anyone to enter where he lived, but I didn't expect that no one would be allowed to enter where he went."
He is so cautious and clean to the point of being abnormal.
Nowadays, it is impossible to open the secret realm unless the owner of the secret realm, Zixiao, comes in person.
Frustrated, he drooped his wings: "Go back, I'm sleepy."
Yan Qing looked around and said, "No, let's think about whether there is any other way."
Bu Zhi desperately pulled his hair and said, "Don't even think about it! If you want to find out something about me, just ask me and I'll tell you everything!"
Yan Qing looked at the silly bird with pity: "I want to ask you something that you definitely don't even know yourself."
Jinghong Palace.
"That's how it happened." Bai Xiaoxiao's slender white fingers twirled her clothes nervously, and she lowered her head with trembling eyelashes. "The token that Senior Zixiao gave me was snatched away by Young Master Yan Qing. I, I didn't know that it was the token of the Wangqing Sect, and I didn't know that Young Master Yan Qing would make such an unreasonable request to the Wangqing Sect. I'm sorry, it's all... it's all my fault."
After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
Heng Bai leaned against the window, rolled his eyes and said, "I thought Yan Qing was a shameless villain who was seeking repayment for a favor, but I didn't expect he was a liar who stole the credit for other people's work. Haha, it's something he would do."
Tianshu felt a splitting headache and kept shaking his head while holding his hand.
The leader of the Huichun Sect and Huai Xu now wanted to tear Bai Xiaoxiao's mouth apart—What a great happy event! Why are you coming here now and talking so much!
The clan leader's face was grim and he shouted angrily: "Bai Xiaoxiao!"
Tianshu sighed and stopped him: "Hey, don't be mean to the little kid."
In fact, Zixiao’s death was not a big deal in Wangqing Sect. As the number one sect in the world, Wangqing Sect had no shortage of strong people and geniuses.
The purpose of a cultivator is to seek for something permanent in the midst of impermanence. Life and death, prosperity and decline are all determined by fate. In addition, Zixiao travels abroad for many years, and his relationship with the sect is weak.
If it weren't for that token, they wouldn't even come over.
The token was inherited from the sect's ancient Taoist ancestor. It was because of the Taoist ancestor's order that the token was given such a high status.
With this token, you can make any request to the Wangqing Sect.
It can be said that the focus is on the "token" rather than Zixiao.
The world of cultivation emphasizes cause and effect and fate. Since it was Yan Qing who came to the door with the token in the end, Yan Qing must be the owner of the token.
Tianshu looked at the tears in the little kid's eyes and sighed. He was a Mahayana monk who had lived for countless years. How could he not understand the boy's current mood? Although the boy said "it's all my fault", he was actually full of grievances and jealousy towards Yan Qing. Every bit of malice in his eyes was seen by Tianshu. But he was still full of love for the little kid. It was normal for young people to have some small emotions and thoughts.
Tianshu waved his hand kindly: "Come, little kid, sit next to me."
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes and nose were red, and he sobbed. He wanted to get up, but found Yan Jianshui holding his hand worriedly. He was stunned for a moment, but finally broke free and walked over.
Tianshu asked softly, "It was you who saved Zixiao."
Bai Xiaoxiao stammered, "Yeah."
Tianshu nodded: "Yes, he is a kind-hearted young man."
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered in secret, and she spoke carefully: "Then what about the marriage between Senior Yan Qing and Immortal Du Wei?"
Tianshu sighed and said, "It cannot be cancelled. I know this is ridiculous, but this is the rule left by Daozu. Since he has come to our house with the token and made a request, we must agree to this marriage."
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "Why?!"
But he soon found that he was too emotional, and immediately trembled and shrank again, tears falling down, "Why, what virtue and ability does Yan Qing have to be worthy of the Immortal Master Du Wei. I just feel sorry for Senior Zi Xiao. He left the token to me, and he probably didn't expect that it would be snatched away. He also made such... Such a ridiculous request."
Heng Bai rolled his eyes again at the window—
Still feel bad for Zixiao? Didn't you give the token to someone else so easily? He is not like Tianshu, a good guy who thinks everyone is a kid. He is young and full of vigor, and has a name on the Qingyun List. He just feels that there is no one in this shabby Huichun Sect that he likes. Ha, for a moment, I can't tell who is more annoying.
Bai Xiaoxiao cried more and more aggrieved: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I didn't keep the token left by the senior well, and it was snatched away by Young Master Yan Qing. But Young Master Yan Qing is not the benefactor of Wang Qing Sect at all, and he didn't save Senior Zi Xiao. On the contrary, he is not kind at all. If Immortal Du Wei knew, how could he agree to this marriage."
Tianshu: “…”
It was over, and he felt dizzy again.
He really didn't know how to explain it to this little kid.
Benefactor is just a polite term used by the Wangqing Sect.
Zixiao is not important, and gratitude is not important.
The key is the token! Token! Token!
Without the token, even if you brought Zixiao back to life, it would only be Zixiao's karma, and it would have nothing to do with Wangqing Sect.
As for whether Du Wei agrees to this marriage...
Hahaha, then it’s not something anyone can worry about.
But Tianshu was a kind man after all, and he consoled her: "Okay, kid, don't cry. I will report this to the headmaster when I get back. I see you are also feeling wronged, why don't you come back with us to the Wangqing Sect when the time comes."
Bai Xiaoxiao's tears stopped all of a sudden, and she said timidly, "I want to go back to Wangqing Sect with you guys?"
"Yes." Tianshu nodded, thinking that since he had already arranged Du Wei's marriage, it should be okay for him to be rewarded with a peak and bring back a person at the same time.
Bai Xiaoxiao: "Then Yan Qing..."
Tianshu didn't know why he was still entangled in this matter, and said helplessly: "This is the order of Daozu. The token has taken effect and it cannot be cancelled."
Bai Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and the hands hidden in his sleeves pinched his flesh fiercely.
In an instant, my blood surged and my heart felt as cold as water.
This is obviously, this is obviously his credit.
So, the Wangqing Sect is now planning to settle the matter peacefully, take him back, and let the matter be over.
Then, his contribution enabled Yan Qing to enjoy infinite glory above all others in the future
Another line of tears flowed from Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Tianshu: “…”
Tianshu's kind smile almost froze on his face.
Heng Bai couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Is this the ultimate goodness that Zixiao talked about? My eyes are really blurry.
He jumped out of the window.
The title of the best guy in Tianshu Wangqing Sect is not an exaggeration. After persuading Bai Xiaoxiao to go back with kind words, he felt that he could ascend to heaven today.
After Bai Xiaoxiao sat back in his seat, his mind was full of this matter. He was actually not a person who would repay a favor for something, and he never thought about any reward when doing good deeds.
But that doesn't mean he is willing to have his credit taken away or to suffer such injustice.
He couldn't hear Tianshu's comfort or Yan Jianshui's anxious questions.
"Xiaoxiao, where are you going!"
Bai Xiaoxiao's rationality was set on fire, and he stood up in tears and rushed out. In his muddled mind, he suddenly thought of someone. He thought of that cold back and the snow-colored robe that brushed past the peach blossoms.
He is unwilling to accept it!
—He wants to tell Immortal Du Wei about Yan Qing’s true nature!
—We must make Yan Qing’s actions known to the public!
“Xiaoxiao!”
Bai Xiaoxiao was so sad that she didn't even realize that spiritual energy was surging in her body, and there was even a faint purple glow.
Tianshu saw this from behind and narrowed his eyes suddenly—
Wait, is this Zixiao’s skill
Yan Qing and Bu Dezhi wandered around the ruins for a few more rounds.
Xie Shiyi didn't want anyone to come in, so he didn't leave any chance.
Yan Qing found a stone to sit on and picked up a weed to play with.
Bu Zhi was so tired that he said, "I've already said it, go back to sleep."
Yan Qing sighed and said, "I can't sleep."
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The ice-blue formation made the night sky seem like the aurora was flowing, and stars were dotted outside the Milky Way.
He folded the grass with his fingers.
The red silk on the wrist sways in the wind.
Dezhi also looked at the sky with him. The icy blue color stung his eyes. He covered his eyes with his wings and suddenly remembered: "Oh, who was standing in front of you that day?"
Yan Qing: "Thank you for knowing my clothes."
Unsuccessful: "Who?"
Yan Qing: "Thank you."
Pah.
He fell directly to the ground in frustration.
Yan Qing kicked it and said, "I forgot to mention that the old thief Zixiao you mentioned is the Grand Elder of Wangqing Sect. And Xie Ying came here to investigate this matter."
"… "
The bird was trying to struggle to get up but failed. In an instant, the whole bird wilts again and falls to the ground, not wanting to get up.
Yan Qing was about to say something when he suddenly heard several screams in his ears.
“Xiaoxiao!” “Xiaoxiao!”
He turned around and found that it was Bai Xiaoxiao who ran out of Jinghong Palace with tears in her eyes and ran all the way to the back mountain. Bai Xiaoxiao was petite and frail, and she looked like she was about to fall down when the wind blew, but she raised her little face stubbornly, with tears in her eyes.
It would have been fine if he just rushed over, but there was actually a hint of purple light around him as he ran.
Yan Qing folded the grass in his hand, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Yes, in the original book, Zixiao not only gave Bai Xiaoxiao the token, but also passed on his lifelong skills to him!
This is the cheat that the protagonist is using.
Although Bai Xiaoxiao cannot fully control it yet, she still has Zixiao's cultivation in her body.
As expected, Bai Xiaoxiao rushed over in great pain and sorrow. The surging purple inner force in his body actually resonated directly with the secret realm hanging in the sky! In an instant, the gravel rolled down, the grass and trees trembled, and the thin layer of ice floating on the entrance of the purple secret realm slowly broke.
Xie Shiyi just didn't want to be disturbed, so he set up the formation casually. Of course, that was just his "casualness".
Now Zixiao's power resonates with Zixiao's secret realm. When the master returns, the formation will naturally be broken.
Yan Qing had never thought that such a good thing would happen while he was sitting there. He smiled and said, "Let's go."
Dezhi was considering shirking responsibility: "The old thief Zixiao died early, and I didn't do anything..."
Yan Qing thought to himself, who cares what you do now
He stood up from the stone, leaped forward, and jumped directly into the secret realm.
In just a moment, Yan Qing's vision changed completely and he dragged Bu Zhi into the Dongxu Secret Realm.
When he landed, the place where he stepped on sank slightly. The sound of flowing water flowed past his ears. Yan Qing opened his eyes and found himself in a dark cave. Perhaps it was not a cave, but an underground passage. The cave was dark, the air was humid, and there was a thick vapor that could not be dispersed.
The walls and ground were covered with sticky moss, and small insects were rustling in it, their chirping sounds echoing along with the sound of water.
Frustrated, it was like returning home: "What is this place?"
Yan Qing said: "The secret realm of Dongxu where Zixiao fell."
Despondent: "Ah, why is it so dark?"
Yan Qing: "You are a bat and you are afraid of the dark?"
Bu Zhi was angry: "Don't ask me to lead the way later."
Yan Qing curled his lips: "No need."
He walked forward in the darkness with ease and confidence, and even Bu Zhi was stunned by his ease.
"Have you been here before?"
"No, I just went to a very similar place."
"What."
A butterfly emitting a faint blue light in the night sky passed before Yan Qing's eyes. His thoughts slightly extended in the darkness. He smiled and said softly, "Hei Shuize."
Blackwater.
In the third year after arriving in Liuxianzhou, in order to repair his meridians, he and Xie Shiyi went to Heishui Lake to get a Ganoderma lucidum.
Ganoderma lucidum grew in the cave of a greedy and lustful demon. With their strength at that time, they could only outsmart the demon. It happened that the demon was forcing the villagers to sacrifice their bride.
Yan Qing advised: "Xie Shiyi, do you want to pretend to be a sacrificed bride and get closer to him?"
Xie Shiyi didn't even think about it: "No."
Yan Qing gave in: "Okay, okay, then I'll dress up as the bride and not let you lose this person."
Xie Shiyi asked coldly, "You are pretending to be a bride, but you are also using my body?"
Yan Qing: “… ”
Yan Qing: "Oh!!! Then we will stay here till the end of time and wait for death!"
Of course, he was the one who compromised in the end. Yan Qing used a sorcery to temporarily leave his soul and entered the body of the sacrificed bride, while Xie Shiyi pretended to be his guard.
Following the dark river, the wooden boat took them into a bottomless cave. The only sound in the dark world was the sound of water.
Bats hang upside down and moss is everywhere.
Yan Qing was a little scared on the boat, trembling: "Xie Shiyi, are you sure?"
Xie Shiyi said calmly: "No."
Yan Qing exploded: "No?!" He was wearing a heavy phoenix coronet and bridal robe, and he was so angry that he rushed over and strangled the boy's neck with his hands: "I'll give you one more chance, can you reorganize your words and say it again?!"
Xie Shiyi dodged his attack and said, "No means no."
So before they even saw the demon, they had already started fighting on the boat like enemies. This fight was inexplicable, and most of the time they were just venting their dissatisfaction and resentment that had been piling up for a long time.
Anyway, when Yan Qing arrived at the demon's lair, her hairpins were all over the floor, her clothes were disheveled, and her makeup was smudged.
The depths of the cave were as eerie as a ghost marriage.
Red candles are strung together and the word "happiness" is hung high.
Only fragments of those tense, panic-stricken and terrifying confrontations remain.
Xie Shiyi came in and stabbed to death with a sword the demon Taoist whose cultivation was suppressed due to poisoning. They obtained the Jade Ganoderma Lucidum, but Yan Qing's leg was broken by the collapsed table.
In the end, it was Xie Shiyi who carried him out of Heishuize.
There are blue butterflies and lush aquatic plants in the cave.
Yan Qing leaned on Xie Shiyi's shoulder and gasped in pain: "Why is it always me who gets hurt?"
Xie Shiyi said coldly: "Don't talk, save your energy."
Yan Qing was so angry that she bit his shoulder angrily.
The young man groaned, pursed his thin lips, and looked as icy as an icy jade sculpture without any worldly air.
Yan Qing opened his mouth and his anger subsided.
He looked at the blue spark-like butterflies and muttered, "Forget it, it's too painful. I'll take a nap first. You can wake me up when we get to the cave entrance."
He closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep. When he opened his eyes, Yan Qing started chatting with him.
"Xie Shiyi, how many places have we been to in the past three years?"
Xie Shiyi replied stiffly: "I don't know."
Yan Qing counted on his fingers: "Let me count, Black Water Lane, Liuxian Island, Lingnan Secret Realm, Eighteen Mountain Villages... Wait, I found a common point."
Xie Shiyi lowered his eyelashes and listened quietly to him talking about these trivial matters.
Yan Qing was delighted and said, "Look, we have moved so many places. We lived by begging in Black Water Alley, but we are still beggars now. Have you discovered that we really like begging?"
Xie Shiyi: “…”
Xie Shiyi could no longer bear it. The young man said in a cold and pure voice: "Can you sleep?"
