Xuanxia

Chapter 737 That Day

late at night.

The caravan landed in the town. The inn had been cleaned up by Mingjian Pavilion. Most of the people who had come all the way from the Changqing Escort Agency in Shudu had fallen asleep, except for a few who were preoccupied and couldn't sleep.

In a certain upper room, Master Jingming sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and remained silent, with a faint stream of light moving around him.

She made hand gestures continuously, and the light around her changed back and forth, sometimes turning into twinkling fireflies, sometimes turning into red clouds like smoke. After several changes, they suddenly drilled into the center of Master Jingming's eyebrows!
At this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes!

However, what she saw was not this ordinary guest room, but...

Many years ago, on Langhuan Mountain, in the Zhenxian Palace, was the disciple room that belonged to her.

"Little Junior Sister! Little Junior Sister!"

The boy's excited voice was heard outside the house.

The girl Jingming curled her lips, opened her eyes, came out of her meditation state, jumped off the bed, reluctantly walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door stood two young Taoist priests.

One of them looked extremely ugly, with an exaggerated smile on his face, his hands on the door frame, and making faces; the other one had an indifferent expression on his face, with his arms folded across his chest, standing a few steps away.

It was Qingsongzi and Long Dabei.

Oh, at that time Long Dabei's name was still Qinglongzi.

"What are you doing here?"

Jingming said dissatisfiedly: "Master asked me to try to break through the fourth level of Wuqiao in a few days, but I'm busy now."

"I have something good to show you." Qingsongzi grinned.

Jingming didn't believe him and turned his gaze to Qinglongzi: "Brother Qinglongzi, you go ahead."

Qing Longzi said calmly: "During our travels this time, we did find something of extraordinary origin."

Jingming's eyes lit up.

"Tsk, you just listen to him." Qingsongzi curled his lips and said, "It's all up to me this time!"

Jingming looked at Qinglongzi again.

Qing Longzi's eyebrows jumped: "It is true that Senior Brother has contributed more."

Qingsongzi laughed very proudly.

"Where are the good stuff?" Jingming blinked and asked, "Did you bring it?"

"I have it, I have it."

Qing Songzi smiled and said, "Go in, close the door and watch secretly!"

As he spoke, he had already walked into the door, took out a bundle from his arms, and then turned back and winked at Qinglongzi.

Qinglongzi followed him into the room and closed the door.

At this time, Qingsongzi had already untied the bag.

In the bundle, there lay quietly a piece of stone about the size of two palms, as thick as a book.

However, the stone was extremely strange. Flesh and blood had grown in the cracks of the stone. The blood vessels and tendons converged in the center and actually grew into an eye. The eye was still alive and the eyeball moved left and right.

"Hey~!"

After just one look, Jingming took a few steps back in shock: "How disgusting and weird! What is this!"

"Don't be afraid." Qingsongzi lowered his head and looked at the stone slab, with a silly look on his face: "This is a good thing that Taiji fish guided us to find."

"Taichi fish?"

Jingming was startled, then looked at Qinglongzi fiercely: "You really raised it!"

"Yeah." Qing Longzi showed a rare smile on his face: "Brother found that the words on the book are somewhat similar to the ancient Miao characters. We went to southern Xinjiang and later met a man named Hua in Wandu Mountain. He could understand some of it, so he asked us to go to Bailu Mountain to look for it, saying that there was..."

"...Oh, that's all nonsense!" Qingsongzi interrupted him and said impatiently: "Anyway, we found a way to revive those stone-like fish eggs!"

"You don't know, that fish grows when it sees the wind, it grows as soon as it is born..."

He used his fingers to measure the length of about two inches: "This long!"

Jingming's eyes sparkled and were full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Qingsongzi became even more excited: "It can survive without water and can even swim in the void! Isn't it amazing?"

"What happened next?" Jingming asked.

Qing Longzi took over the conversation and said, "Later, we found that it wanted to go in a certain direction, so we took a box to put it in, followed its guidance, and found it all the way there."

"This walk..." Qingsongzi said with emotion, "It's tens of thousands of miles!"

Jingming was surprised: "Ten thousand miles?!"

"Yes."

Qing Longzi nodded: "We followed it, trekking through mountains and rivers, all the way to the Northern Desert."

"Bei Mo!" Jing Ming was surprised again: "It's so far! Doesn't that mean we have to go to Qiluo Palace?"

"Not there yet." Qingsongzi laughed and said, "We found a rift valley in the northern desert and jumped in. Did you know that there were many monsters in that valley? But the amazing thing is that when they saw us, they all hid away!"

"It's because of the Taiji fish." Qing Longzi added, "They seem to be very afraid of the Taiji fish." Qing Songzi gave him a dissatisfied look, "What do you mean by fear? That's awe! Awe!"

Jingming was also dissatisfied: "Just let him speak."

Qingsongzi shrank his neck.

Qing Longzi smiled and said, "Actually, what Senior Brother said is correct. Those monsters are very awed by the Taiji fish and did not approach us. Otherwise, with our abilities alone, we would have been killed and eaten by them long ago."

"So dangerous!" Jingming covered his mouth and exclaimed: "What happened next?"

"Later, we reached the depths of the valley and entered a cave."

Qing Longzi's expression became solemn: "But... we couldn't go deeper."

"Why?" Jingming blinked his eyes.

"fainted."

Qing Songzi said helplessly: "After walking a few steps, we both felt dizzy and passed out without knowing it. When we woke up..."

He looked at the stone and said, "The Taiji fish is gone, and we both have this thing in our hands."

Jingming widened his eyes.

"This piece of stone is quite magical."

Qing Longzi said softly: "If you touch it with your hands, you will gain a lot of profound knowledge."

"That's right." Qingsongzi's eyes sparkled. "I asked it if it could give me a magical skill that could transcend the cycle of life and death, and it actually poured a skill into my brain!"

"What's your name, what..."

He showed a mysterious smile: "Nine Revolutions of the Styx Divine Art!"

Jingming frowned and glared at him: "It sounds wrong. We all have the Infinite True Immortal Skill. Why do we need this thing?"

"Just give it a try!"

Qing Songzi smiled, then his expression became somewhat helpless: "But it's a pity that it seems that each person can only use it once. After I used it once, it wouldn't give it to me no matter how much I asked."

Jingming looked at Qinglongzi: "Brother Qinglong, what did you ask?"

"I……"

Qing Longzi looked slightly surprised: "I want a way to save the world."

"Naive!" Qingsongzi curled his lips: "How can there be such a method?"

“But it did give me.”

Qing Longzi stroked the slate, looked into the eyes on it, and said softly, "It gave me the Qi Ran Jue."

"If you ask me, it's just lying to you." Qingsongzi said disdainfully: "The Styx Nine Revolutions Divine Art it gave me is not as good as the Infinite True Immortal Art in my opinion."

“It didn’t fool me.”

Qing Longzi said calmly: "Qi Ran Jue may really be able to save the world."

"I don't believe it." Qingsongzi rolled his eyes: "If you don't believe it, then teach me. We can practice together. I don't believe that saving people or not can be related to a technique."

"Okay." Qing Longzi said calmly: "Let's practice together."

Qing Songzi raised his eyebrows, then looked at Jing Ming in a flattering manner: "Junior sister, are you going to practice with us too?"

"I don't practice."

Jingming took a step back and looked at the stone slab, his face full of worry: "And this stone slab looks weird... I'm going to tell Master now."

When these words were spoken, Qing Longzi was stunned.

However, Qingsongzi reacted much faster than him and laughed without caring: "Oh, I told my dad a long time ago!"

Jingming was suspicious: "Really?"

"When has the eldest brother ever lied to you?"

Qingsongzi winked and said, "Would you like to try it too? Touch this stone?"

Jingming looked at the stone, and the eyes on it turned around and looked at her.

When they looked at each other, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged into her heart, causing her to secretly let down her guard and subconsciously want to move closer.

Just when her guard was gradually dissipating and she was about to go forward and touch it, the door suddenly opened!

The next moment, the light in Master Jingming's eyes disappeared, and he came out of his memories.

Her breathing became faster and her face did not look so good.

This should be a memory that I cannot forget, but I cannot remember how I heard the Styx Nine Revolutions Divine Art on that day...

Fortunately, I remembered the origin of this technique for my nephew.

But this technique is related to that strange stone slab, and to the Qi Ran Jue...

Thinking of this, Master Jingming's expression suddenly changed.

In my memory, why does the eye on the stone seem so familiar?
