Xuanxia

Chapter 44: Qi Ran Jue
Bailu Mountain, Lingxiang Town.

There were only a few people on the street, and the cobblestone street was like a quietly winding stream, running through the entire town.

The early morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the eaves onto the street, casting mottled light and shadows, and the dew on the stone slabs flickers faintly under the light.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The door of the only restaurant in town was knocked open, and the waiter yawned and took down the door: "Who is it so early in the morning...ah, it's Azhou."

He saw who was coming and curled his lips and asked, "Are there any venison today? Or rabbit meat?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled tiredly: "No, I came here to eat with two friends today."

As he was speaking, two more people appeared behind him, one was Tang Jiao, who could hardly walk, and the other was naturally Long Dabei, who had his hands behind his back, still calm.

It took them a day to walk out of the Shiwan Mountains and arrive at the nearest town.

Fu Qingzhou actually didn't want to come back here... Long Dabei was too dangerous, who knew if he would suddenly go crazy? But Long Dabei seemed to be able to sense where there were people and where he could rest from a very far distance, and took the initiative to lead the way here.

They passed a small village on the way, but it was already late at night, and the three did not enter the village. Fu Qingzhou only went into the village and stole some clean clothes... It's not right to say he stole, because he still kept the few copper coins he had left.

He still needs to change his clothes. Once he and Long Dabei are in a crowded place, they will definitely get into trouble with dried blood all over their bodies.

"Come to eat?"

The waiter stretched and said, "There's nothing good to eat this early in the morning, only rice porridge."

"Just rice porridge." Fu Qingzhou said, "Give me three servings."

The restaurant was empty in the early morning. The three of them found a corner and sat down. Soon three bowls of steaming rice porridge were served.

"Ah Zhou."

The waiter had no idea that one of his guests was the world's biggest killer. He put his arm around Fu Qingzhou's shoulder and said with a smile, "A few days ago, many people in town came to ask about you. Are you in trouble?"

Fu Qingzhou knew that they were people sent by the elders of Wan Du Mountain.

But now that the incident has passed, he smiled softly: "Yes, I raped and abandoned a Miao girl. Her family was not happy and wanted to seek revenge on me."

"Pooh!"

The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "How can a Miao girl like you when you are so poor?"

He felt bored and left. Long Dabei suddenly looked at the waiter's back and asked, "Are you from this town?"

"No."

Fu Qingzhou said frankly: "I am a hunter from the nearby mountains and come to this town occasionally."

Tang Jiao drank her porridge and glanced at him secretly.

Fu Qingzhou smiled at her: "I told you before, I'm not a big shot in the capital."

"fine."

Tang Jiao also smiled at him with her white teeth: "Why are you always my big brother?"

But Long Dabei's next words shattered the hard-earned relaxed atmosphere.

"Since this is a place you are familiar with..."

He put down the bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "When you leave, I will kill all the people in this town."

"You!" Fu Qingzhou glared and almost spilled the porridge in his hand.

But he quickly calmed down. If he made a scene and attracted attention now, there would be no turning back.

"Long Dabei."

He said in a deep voice: "I won't allow you to do this."

"Oh?" Long Dabei looked at him with interest: "How are you going to stop me?" Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said: "I, your successor, am very important to you, so if you kill people recklessly, I have a hundred ways to not cooperate with you. I won't learn anything from you, I will give up my cultivation, and I can even commit suicide!"

Long Dabei smiled slightly: "I see."

Fu Qingzhou always felt that something was strange, but he still sneered: "It's still a long way to go. I may not be able to escape or kill you, but if I want to do something to myself, there will always be a chance."

"Indeed."

Long Dabei nodded and said, "In this case, I can not kill the people in this town... but from today on, you have to learn from me."

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

Waiting for me here!

He laughed angrily: "So you are threatening me to become your disciple by using the lives of everyone in this town?"

"You are wrong in one respect." Long Dabei said calmly, "It's not the lives of everyone in this town, but the lives of everyone we meet next."

Fu Qingzhou clenched his fists and made them creak: "You..."

"You are the same as me."

Long Dabei smiled and said, "Although you and I have different views on life and death, we both have great compassion in our hearts. I believe that killing people is saving people. You have not yet realized this, so I can only threaten you with your worries."

Fu Qingzhou had to admit that Long Dabi was indeed a "real person".

From the time we first met until now, he has never told a lie. Apart from his different views on life and death from those of ordinary people, he is also a very transparent person.

He knew that Fu Qingzhou was kind-hearted and chivalrous and did not like to see innocent people being killed, so he used this as a threat and did not try to forcibly distort Fu Qingzhou's thinking from the beginning.

As one of the most powerful men in the world, he accepted apprentices, taught things, and used the most despicable and low-level means of intimidation, but he didn't care at all and even said it out loud without any hesitation.

He has unrivaled strength, and he doesn't mind using some tricks when necessary...

How to defeat such a person?

Fu Qingzhou sighed and shook his head.

"Okay, I'll learn."

He said in a hoarse voice: "But there is one thing that I cannot solve by myself. I don't know if it will affect my practice."

Long Dabei nodded: "Master, I know, it's the curse on you, right?"

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Fu Qingzhou's wrist and turned it over, revealing the curse mark on his palm.

"This curse cannot be broken by the master."

He said bluntly: "The inheritance of Wandu Mountain is incomplete. It is not impossible to remove your curse, but it will take too much time. I think that Palm Sword Academy and Qianfang Baixiao Tower may be better choices. Of course, if you have the ability, you may be able to find a way in Xiyu Pavilion."

"The Sword-Bearing Academy, the Thousands of ...

The first two were among the sects that Tang Jiao had heard of before. Fu Qingzhou had already known about the Sword Academy when she had been describing the affairs in the capital. As for Xiyu Pavilion, he had also seen its killer before.

"But you don't have to rush."

Long Dabei continued, "This curse will not harm your life at the moment, nor will it affect your practice... You can concentrate on practicing the skills that your master has taught you."

Fu Qingzhou sighed deeply.

It seems that the method of deceiving Long Dabei into removing the curse for him first to buy time... is also useless.

"The master's technique is called Qi Ran Jue."

Long Dabei smiled, but his voice seemed to become distant: "Qiran finally realized that I was blind all my life, and the road ahead is endless..."
