Although Xu Hong is like a father to Qiu Hong, is Yu Qiu equivalent to a son to Xu Hong
Probably not.
Because there is no father who will be furious because of the growth of his son.
So to Xu Hong, what is Yu Qiu
- Persistence.
A person can't find his own way in the vast world, and he doesn't know what he must stick to. Because it seems that there is a lot of room for adjustment no matter what, it seems that there are many substitutes for everything, including himself. He had nothing to do with it, so even if he had been unable to take another step forward, it didn't seem to have done anything irreparable.
Until a person suddenly appeared in his life, it would be impossible without him.
Xu Hong suddenly fell down from the stone and landed on the back of his head, grinning in pain. Because of the lazy and sweltering heat in midsummer, he actually fell asleep while squatting on the stone and thinking about it.
Xu Hong rubbed his head and sighed inwardly: Sure enough, it's still too troublesome, it seems that persistence is useless, let's take a break first.
But he seemed to have had a dream just now.
A figure appeared in the dream, following behind him step by step. He is small, looks silly, knows nothing, doesn't understand anything, is of no use at all, and only brings endless troubles.
...but only for that person, oneself is irreplaceable. This feeling is really good, but it's a pity that no matter how Xu Hong thinks about it after waking up, that figure is still just a vague shadow.
Xu Hong rubbed his head, thinking maybe he should keep a pet, and walked all the way to his cave.
Suddenly Xu Hong felt a slight chill. He stopped and looked at a cave on the side of the road. The coolness emanated from this dark mountain pass.
Yin Cave - A lair of Yin objects in Xuanyang Mountain. It has several openings, and the one on Heishi Mountain is one of them.
It is said that it was because of the entrance of this dark cave that Zhao Lian chose the cave on the Black Rock Mountain. Zhao Lian believes that Yindong is a good place to hone monks, and he also encourages his disciples to hone in it.
The yin cave is divided into several layers, and the yin thing on the top layer is very weak, even a monk in the early stage of qi refining can barely deal with it. The lower you go, the more powerful the Yin thing will be. Xu Hong once retreated in the Yin Cave once. At that time, he walked through the third floor and felt that the yin thing he was facing was already a bit tricky. The entrance of the fourth floor exuded a dangerous aura, so he didn't go deep and turned his head directly. So that retreat did not receive any effect at all.
Afterwards, Zhao Lian didn't say anything, but the brothers rolled their eyes at him.
And now Xiao Chunmian's retreat place is also in this dark cave.
Which floor will Junior Brother Xiao go to? Anyway, he won't hesitate and give up so easily like him.
Xu Hong stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at it, then shrugged his shoulders, went back to his cave, fell on the bed, and wanted to satisfy his sleepiness first, and then think about those troublesome things.
At the same time, Yu Qiu rode a crane to return to Yuehua Peak where he lived from Luoxing Peak where his heart was.
He was in a mess now, so he dumped all the materials in the storage bag in the study, took out the pen, picked out the materials and matched the ink, and let himself fall into the madness of drawing symbols.
For Qiu, drawing talismans is an effective way to calm down his mind.
Not long after growing up, Yu Qiu forgot the turbulent emotions before, and was immersed in thinking about the talisman. Gradually, he stopped repeating the talismans that had been painted countless times, and started to study new painting methods. It is a new painting method that he has studied in Fangshanji, which can greatly reduce the cost of materials. Now he can draw more talismans than before, and naturally there are more talismans that can be used to study ways to save costs.
Although there are differences between low-cost talismans and ordinary talismans, for example, no matter how good they are, they can only draw middle-grade talismans, and even top-grade talismans are rare, unlike ordinary talismans that have the chance to draw super-grade ones that are more powerful than high-grade ones. But when the cost is low, the quantity can always make up for the quality.
Even though the stage where careful calculations are required is now over, for Qiu, research itself is meaningful regardless of its practicality.
What's more, Yu Qiu also carries a causal loop system on his back. After the last upgrade, his experience value has only double digits, and he can't change anything. He urgently needs to replenish... The research process of low-cost talismans is a good way to earn a lot of experience points.
Yu Qiu just forgot to sleep and eat, and studied all the way.
And Xu Hong spent half an hour catching up on sleep in his own cave, turned over halfway, yawned, and suddenly felt something bright.
He opened his eyes abruptly, looking at the sword he had placed beside the bed. The magic-appreciating gemstone on the hilt of the sword, which had been silent for a long time, was as bright as a small yellow sun at this moment!
Xu Hong suddenly came to his senses, turned over and got off the ground, grabbed the sword in his hand, and pushed the door open.
He recognized the indication of the magic gem, and frowned and looked in one direction. The magic gemstone has a tracking function, as long as the recorded magician appears within a thousand miles, it can send out such a reminder. Xu Hong deduced that the magic cultivator from last time should have reappeared.
Because Xu Hong was the only one who recorded that demon cultivator last time, so naturally only Xu Hong was the only one who could receive such a reminder.
As a result, just for a short while, the magic gemstone on Xu Hong's sword hilt went out again.
Xu Hong couldn't help being stunned. But even though the magic gem was extinguished, Xu Hong still remembered the direction suggested earlier.
In the past, Xu Hong might have sighed, convincing himself that he was dazzled before. But Xu Hong had just been worried about why he gave up so easily, and now he hesitated for a while, so he decided to go over and have a look first. If something is wrong, the Demon Slayer Team must be reminded as soon as possible.
Xu Hong stood up with his sword and rushed towards the depths of the Xuanyang Mountain outside the Xuanyang Sect.
In the depths of Xuanyang Mountain, a person was prostrate on the ground with his arms folded in front of him, trembling all over, as if he was forcibly enduring something.
Xu Hong flew around many times to find the location suggested before appreciating magic gems, and finally found this figure under a complicated bush. Sensing the other party's cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining, Xu Hong stopped far away, recited a mantra in a low voice, used his fingers as a sword, and drew a barrier of imprisonment around the other party's body, and then asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The other party was still trembling and ignored him at all. In this trembling, a corner of the other party's large dark coat was exposed. Judging from the color and style, it was the disciple's uniform of Xuanyangzong.
Xu Hong let out a sigh, and couldn't help but take a step forward, "It turned out to be the junior brother of Xuanyang Sect?"
As a result, at this step, the gemstone on Xu Hong's sword hilt suddenly lit up again.
Xu Hong was stunned for a moment, and quickly recognized the indication of the gemstone, and his face suddenly changed. His face was pale with shock, and he quickly wanted to press the magic gemstone to spread the message.
But the man who was prostrate on the ground before has jumped up suddenly!
The barrier of imprisonment that was carefully placed was like paper, it was smashed to pieces in an instant, and it couldn't stop it even for a moment!
After all, Xu Hong's fingertips failed to press the gem, and he didn't even grab this moment. Late stage of gas refining? No, although it is still the same figure, but the strength that was still in the late stage of Qi refining a moment ago is already a world of difference at this moment.
Xu Hong's hand holding the sword was snapped off in an instant, and his whole body was thrown to the ground. He was so shocked by the impact on the ground that he gushed out a mouthful of blood.
He stared in horror at the face that now filled his vision.
He felt that he should be somewhat familiar with this face, after all, if it was the previous demon cultivator, he would have seen it before. But the face in front of him was covered with black patterns, which completely covered the facial features, leaving only a kind of creepy horror.
Xu Hong didn't have time to recognize the facial features under the black pattern.
As soon as his abdomen felt cold, the other party suddenly pulled that hand in, directly opening the abdominal cavity.
Xu Hong's vision suddenly blurred. In the last scene before he was completely plunged into darkness, the other party probably opened his mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and bit off his neck fiercely.
…
In Xuanyangzong Yuehua Peak, Yu Qiu finally put the pen in his hand aside and stretched a lot.
Then he pressed his aching brain again.
If it weren't for the consumption of soul power and aura to draw symbols, Yu Qiu could really draw for days and nights without stopping. But it's also because his cultivation base is too low. After he has gone further, it is not a dream to paint for many days.
Now that he had to rest, Yu Qiu frowned, thinking of the issues that had been put on hold before.
For example, Xu Hong's mental disorder.
But this Yu Qiu really can't help. Although he already knew how Xu Hong built his foundation in his previous life, he couldn't create Yu Qiu and tie him behind him in this life, right? So it's better to leave this matter to Xu Hong himself, Yu Qiu has already tried his best.
For the rest, the more I think about it, the more headache I get. Yu Qiu decided to continue to forget about it.
—How much experience do you have
Yu Qiu asked suddenly.
[eight thousand three hundred and thirty]
-Not bad.
Yu Qiu expressed his satisfaction. Of course, it is impossible for him to accumulate so many experience points in a day, but it is the result of his hard work to gain experience since joining Xuanyang Sect. After all, after Yu Qiu's comparison, the things that can be exchanged in the system are much better than those that can be exchanged in Xuanyangzong. The other disciples worked so hard to accumulate Xuanyangzong's contribution points, so of course he had to work harder to accumulate experience points.
The reason why saving so much is still useless is that the system said that there is still a third level to upgrade. Although Yu Qiu is not sure whether the third level is useful, but...the so-called curiosity killed the cat...
Yu Qiu was calculating the experience points, when he suddenly heard another slight warning in his ear.
There was another visitor.
The visitor seemed to be very vigilant, looking left and right all the way, walking without steps, like a sneaky black cat. When he saw the three formations drawn by Yu Qiu on the edge of the field, he was so frightened that he jumped back all of a sudden, "Slay formations in all directions!"
"Look carefully again." Yu Qiu came out dumbfounded.
The other party was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this killing in all directions turned out to be a weakened version of the weakened version, which can only kill insects.
"A rare visitor." Yu Qiu said, "You haven't been here for so long, I thought you finally realized how annoying you are. Why, what are you here today?"
It was Gao Conghan who came.
Gao Conghan twitched his cheeks fiercely, and after a long while he squeezed out a sentence, "I'm in a big trouble!"
