Dragon Seeker

Qingzhu didn't answer my question directly, but waved her hand, motioning me to go with her, and then turned around and left.

I was startled, and immediately followed silently.

In fact, I didn't have much contact with her. Apart from this time, she just gave me two pots of wine.

However, although our friendship was shallow, I could see that this was an extremely self-centered woman!

I have never seen anyone like her, who could sit there and watch me chop trees for so long! !

What's so good about chopping trees?

But she just watched, and saw that I was hairy all over. From beginning to end, she hardly changed her movements, which means that she didn't feel bored at all in her heart. It can even be said that at that time, her heart was blank.

I am not as smart as Lao Bai, but I also know that people like her are very rich in their hearts. It is because of this that they can remain unmoved and always maintain a transcendent tranquility.

This kind of person doesn't show her emotions, unless she wants to say something, otherwise, no matter how you open your mouth, she won't pay attention to you at all!

It is precisely because of this that she didn't say anything, and I never asked any more questions!

Cuckoo!

The fat and mean partridge has been circling over my head, chattering like a chatterbox.

I squinted my eyes and looked at it again and again. Because of the green bamboo, I could only grit my teeth secretly and follow it honestly, not falling behind.

The evil spirit here has not dissipated yet, and I can't feel the slightest bit of the earth's energy, but she seems to be able to tell the direction in such a place, and her steps are very calm.

We just kept silent with each other, and time passed by.

My waist and legs began to ache, but I looked up at the green bamboo, and the other party didn't seem to stop to rest at all. When walking through the snow, only a shallow footprint was left.

She didn't stop, and I was embarrassed to complain. After all, she took a much greater risk than me to enter here, and the erosion she would suffer from staying here would be more serious.

I used various Taoist hand seals and the eight great magic spells I could use to fight against the evil spirits...

Just when I was at my wit's end and could hardly hold on, a ray of light pierced through the thick fog and dispelled the darkness in front of me...

I subconsciously covered my eyes, and after a moment, when I got used to it, I put my hands down.

Sunlight?

We... came out?

I was so excited and overjoyed that I even forgot about Qingzhu and rushed past her towards the ray of sunlight, like Kuafu chasing the sun, with a long-lost desire for sunlight!

Not long after, I rushed out of a dense forest.

The surroundings were covered with snow, the cold air was fresh and sweet, no longer dirty and oppressive, and the warm sunlight fell on the ground, reflecting a dazzling light...

All this was almost heaven for me!

Heaven in front of me, hell behind me! !

No words can describe my mood at the moment. My master, Brother Yaozi, Lao Bai and others are not here. I have no one to rely on and everything depends on myself. I dare not imagine how I have persisted. I have escaped from the dead now. No matter how cold the temperature in the mountains is, I lie on the snow with my legs spread out, staring at the sun in the sky. Unconsciously, the corners of my eyes are a little wet, and a warm liquid slides out. I subconsciously reach out and wipe it, but I find that it has turned into a piece of ice.

There is a "crunching" sound of footsteps behind me. Qingzhu is here. She is a master, not as useless as me. She is still very calm, as if nothing in the world can change her color. She sits down in front of me quietly, glances at me, and the veil on her face moves, as if she is smiling.

I felt a little embarrassed, and as if to protect my shattered dignity, I immediately asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Cry if you want to, why do you have to cry secretly?"

Qingzhu simply didn't hide it, turned her head and laughed, saying, "Look at you, you dared to risk the world's condemnation when it came to the safety of your master and those friends, and cut off the dragon veins in anger. You were not afraid of thousands of thunders hitting your head, but you got a little scared in a blink of an eye and started crying secretly.

One is a man of integrity, and the other is a cowardly and fragile young man.

Tell me, which one is you?"

My face was hot, and I didn't dare to look at her directly, so I turned my head away quietly.

After a while, Qingzhu finally stopped laughing and whispered, "I have something to ask you."

I was stunned. Seeing her serious, I immediately asked, "What is it?"

"About your master."

Qingzhu asked, "Did he ever give you a pill? Well... that pill looked like it was covered with gold powder!"

I immediately became alert.

Although she saved my life, I will never forget that this woman came from the Tianmeng. It was she who dragged our Zhenwu Temple into the pirate ship with an extremely domineering attitude. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have to suffer this life and death crime!

She is not an enemy, but she is definitely not a friend!

I don't know what she meant by asking this question suddenly, and I am considering my words.

"You little thief, you are quite clever, no one can trust you, which is good, but also bad."

Qingzhu shook his head, as if he saw what I was thinking, and sighed: "Zhang Daoxuan is a man of character, he would rather die than bend. Although he joined the Tianmeng, he was not afraid of death at all, but wanted to do something. Based on this, no matter what he encountered, he was unwilling to bow his head to ask the Tianmeng. So, the problem with him is just a guess, and some things need to be confirmed by you."

I hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, Master did give me such a pill!"

This matter is a bit far away.

Before we were ready to bury the demon tomb, we passed by the ghost market. Because of Lao Bai, a scumbag, I had to take a risk and awaken the Heavenly Official Blade directly in the state of a paper man. In the end, the Yang Qi burned my body and almost died. Unfortunately, I had just entered this industry at that time. I was confused and didn't feel particularly scared. It was my master who appeared at the critical moment, killed the Mountain Ghost King, and then fed me such a pill, which finally saved me.

"That's right..."

After hearing this, Qingzhu said, "I said, how could he fall to this point? At such an important juncture, even if he failed, he should at least leave some means to save his life, and he would never make himself neither alive nor dead."

"You mean..."

My pupils shrank, and my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone. For a moment, even breathing became difficult. I asked with difficulty: "Master, did you come to this point because you saved me?"

Qingzhu nodded.

In this way, I also understood a lot at once.

Yes, I should have been alert at that time!!

After my master fed me the pill, Lao Bai was present, and he said at that time that the pill was used by my master to break through the barriers!!

Unfortunately, I was still a rookie at that time, and my master didn't even lead me into the door, so how could I know what breaking through the barriers meant?

In fact, some people in the Xuanmen, when they reach a certain level of cultivation, are stuck at a level. To enter the next stage, this process is extremely dangerous, so many people will prepare some old medicine in advance to save their lives at the critical moment!!

What I ate was exactly my master's life-saving thing, but at that time I was careless and didn't know anything. What I ate in one mouthful was not medicine? It was my master's life!

An indescribable sense of self-blame came over me, making me dizzy and almost falling headfirst.

"Zhang Daoxuan has been recovering from his injuries. He shouldn't have done this at this time."

Qingzhu sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's been too chaotic recently. In addition to the Yinren Inn being seized, many monsters and demons have jumped out, which made your master feel a sense of crisis. He was afraid that he couldn't protect you. In addition, he was an extremely conceited person and thought he could withstand it without preparation. As a result, his hidden injury broke out and gave him a fatal blow. He was bedridden..."

It's because of me again.

I closed my eyes and suddenly hated the identity of the ceremonial officer.

If the ceremonial officer was not so hated, I would be a nobody, no one would care, and it would be good to follow my master to be a free Taoist priest with a green lamp and yellow scroll!

"But, losing in the east, gaining in the west, isn't this the fate between you two, master and disciple?"

Qingzhu said: "I have seen him and told a fortune. He is not destined to die. You took his life-saving medicine, and his life is on you, but I can't see what's going on."

I suddenly turned around and looked at her steadily. After hesitating for a moment, I asked: "You Tianmeng should have this kind of life-saving medicine, right!?"

She said before that my master refused to ask Tianmeng, which is probably what she was talking about!

If my master doesn't ask, they won't give it to him! !

Sure enough, Qingzhu nodded.

I said again: "After all, he is working for you, and you won't even give him a pill?"

Qingzhu turned her head slightly and said two words: "Rules."

Really rules?

Tianmeng, I don't understand, I have only been in contact with her!

But Brother Yaozi understands! !

This organization is erratic and overbearing, almost arrogant and domineering, and will destroy a family at any time! !

How could such an organization not have conflicts with others?

Unfortunately, my master should not care about such conflicts between people. He only saves people. Although he belongs to the Tianmeng, he cannot be regarded as the henchman of the Tianmeng.

If you don't serve them as a dog, they won't save you, unless you beg them! !

But if you beg, there will be a lot of things to say.

This is probably what Qingzhu meant, right?

I understood, stood up, lowered my head, and said: "If he doesn't beg, can I beg? How do you say I beg? Even if I have to kneel in front of your mountain gate, I will kneel!!"

Qingzhu looked at me: "You don't look like someone who can kneel. You look cowardly, but you have blood in your bones. I don't think someone who dares to sacrifice his life to cut the dragon vein will kneel."

I gritted my teeth and said: "I kneel!"

"There are only heavenly officials who die standing, but there is no Wei family who live on their knees."

Qingzhu sighed with a sad look, her expression a little bleak: "Too early."

Too early?

I didn't understand what she meant at first, but then I thought about it and understood it all.

Too early means that I am still very young and have no value! !

Even if I kneel, no one will watch!

What they want to see is Zhang Daoxuan kneeling, and Zhang Daoxuan's spine is broken! !

And I am not qualified.

At most, I will become a laughing stock. People will point at me and say - look, the first member of the Wei family who knelt down looks like a dog!

Other than that, I will get nothing.

"I understand."

I nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Qingzhu asked: "Where are you going?"

"Wait for the wind to come."

I laughed and said: "Didn't you say that my master's life will fall into my hands, so I will wait for God to give it to me. You don't value my life, maybe God will?"

Shame?

I asked myself in my heart.

Although I have lived for more than 20 years without shame, I still know how to write the word shame.

But I don't blame others, I blame myself.

Because, this is the world...
