If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 127: South Sea Goddess
Hongxiufang, Xiaojingxuan, in the pond under the grape trellis.

"You're already in the pool, why are you still using the fierce tiger's divine power?"

Hong Qi looked at the two red carps with their bellies turned upside down on the water and frowned, saying, "The fierce tiger blood evil is too evil and strange. It will not only harm people but also affect your soul."

Even though Xiaoyu didn't specifically target her, she felt uncomfortable all over at the moment.

The bloody evil energy eroded her body and disrupted her five senses. She felt both burning and cold. The discomfort from her soul was difficult to describe in words.

"I don't want to mess with you and these two fish. I'm using the fierce tiger's evil spirit to clear the area and prevent ghosts and gods from eavesdropping on our conversation." Xiaoyu sank his head to the bottom of the water, and his voice was sensed by Hongqiu through the water waves.

I can’t tell whether it was heard by the ears or perceived by the mind, it’s magical.

"Are there ghosts or gods watching us?" Hongqiu closed her mouth and gestured with her hands.

"Didn't your father tell you? Our every move may be monitored by ghosts and gods." Xiaoyu said.

Hong Qi gestured and said, "I know. I have seen the Four Guards in the Luodu City God Temple before. They can instantly hear all the major and minor events that have happened in a neighborhood in the past few days.

But my father told me not to mind it, because God is watching what we do, and God knows everything that happens between heaven and earth.

Gongcao Shen is only responsible for recording, he is not a judge, nor a city god, and he will not interfere in our lives. "

"Alas, there are four guards, and the guards are so powerful." Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, "Ordinary people don't have to worry about the supervision of the guards, but I must be careful."

Taoist Qingsong had made it very clear two days ago that Shu would not leave her alone.

Therefore, Guan Chenghuang would definitely arrange Gongcao God to keep an eye on her.

She still needs to continue to improve her realm and strength!
Without seeing Gongcao Shen and truly threatening their lives, she will never be able to gain true freedom.

Hong Qi looked puzzled. "You don't even know Gongcao God, and you're talking about preventing ghosts and gods from eavesdropping?"

“It’s not important whether you know Gongcao God or not. What’s important is that I have always known that ghosts and gods can supervise mortals.

I'm not sure if there are any ghosts or gods following us.

But what I am going to say next is more important, so it is always better to be careful. "

After a pause, Xiao Yu continued, "A few days ago, Feng Nipo used her Sky-Seeing Mirror to find out that you and I were whispering to each other underwater! It's better to be cautious."

The duty officer arranged by Guan Chenghuang was indeed very secretive, and Xiaoyu still hadn't noticed it.

She accidentally hurt Wen Jiaju tonight. It was purely an accident.

She gained inspiration from the battle the night before: since the murderous aura of the Conferred God List can reap the souls of humans and immortals, she lowered her requirements and only used the fierce tiger's divine will to intimidate nearby ghosts and gods. Should that have some effect?

She was not sure, but it didn't cost much anyway, so she just thought of it as practicing. In fact, she was indeed practicing.

Having witnessed the power of the Investiture of the Gods, she now attaches more importance to Tiger Soul Seven Kills.

She vaguely saw the realm beyond the "Aoxian Sword".

Until her right to personal freedom is fully guaranteed, she has no right to consider the side effects.

"What important thing do you want to say?" Hongqiu gestured with her hands.

"Today, the chief official in the Prince of Qinghe's mansion is another chief official, Li Dan, the lacquer garden official. He asked me in detail about the assassination last night.

I tell the truth.

He praised me for being very capable and honest, and gave me a secret book, saying that maybe you can practice it too."

"Are you honest?" Hongqiu conveyed sarcasm with her eyes.

Xiao Yu said seriously: "I am really honest. After killing your uncle last night, I also got their magic weapon.

After meeting Li Dan, he handed over everything immediately without him asking, without keeping anything for himself.

I can use the 'Moon-Pidao' of Lingnan Dao Zun and the 'Dust-Bi Sword' of Hongfu Fairy, but I won't keep any of them.

Li Dan was shocked by my simplicity.

To be honest, there was a look of surprise and doubt on his face for a while."

This morning, she saw Hongxiufang preparing a coffin for someone who had died the night before.

Even the top girl who died in the accident only had a thin coffin.

It was so thin that there was even a gap in the coffin lid that was big enough for you to put a finger in.

The four human immortals enjoyed the top-grade gloomy wood coffin.

A coffin is worth a thousand taels of gold!
The aunt in charge said that the coffin was sent by Prince Qinghe, and that a magician would be invited to escort them back to their hometown.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu began to comfort himself: the magic weapon will only increase the difficulty of activating the Purple Palace, so it is better to throw it away and keep the great power for oneself.

Well, that's bullshit, of course.

The magic weapon is only a burden when it comes to deducing "killing the weak foster father".

When facing a strong enemy, it is a real combat power amplifier.

She just guessed that she could not keep the spoils, so she offered them up on her own initiative to gain the impression of being an "honest person".

"There were only weapons, nothing else was found?" Hongqiu knew what she wanted most.

"Oh, I don't understand. After becoming a human immortal, do we no longer have to study hard? Why don't we carry a few secret books with us and study them carefully in our spare time?" Xiaoyu, who failed to touch the corpse again, said unwillingly.

Hong Qi gave him a mocking sneer, "Why don't you bring the secret book with you? Are you too lazy?
But you are now practicing "Tiger Soul Seven Kills".

Why don't you write down the secrets and draw the sword manuals, and study them in your hands?"

Xiaoyu remained silent.

The reason why martial arts masters don't carry secret manuals with them is the same as why college students don't carry textbooks with them after they start working.

"Forget it. I didn't have high expectations. Besides, the Prince of Qinghe is a very nice person. He gave me a copy of the Jade Pendant and Gold Tai Chi Golden Book.

I will read it to you, and we will study and learn together.

According to Li Changli, this secret book can make people become immortals, not human immortals, but real immortals.

I don’t know if he’s bragging or not, but judging by the name, it does sound like a high-end product.”

Xiaoyu used "water waves" to send every word of "The Golden Book of Tai Chi" into Hongqiu's mind.

The "Golden Book of Tai Chi with Jade Pendants and Gold Ornaments" contains the original secret manual.

But Li Dan did not leave it with her. He only asked her to recite it and then took away the golden page with the secret book engraved on it.

After digesting it secretly for half an hour, Hong Qi spoke in surprise, "This 'Golden Book of Tai Chi' seems to be a secret book of the immortals."

"Don't talk. Continue to imitate the Yin Fu with your hand gestures." Xiao Yu continued to transmit his voice, "Li Changli made me swear a solemn oath not to pass the secret book to another person, and not to let the ghosts and gods know."

Hong Qi was shocked and asked, "What oath did you swear?"

"After death, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell." Xiaoyu said casually in a relaxed tone.

“Ah, you——” Hong Qi was touched and worried at the same time, “When a person’s mind moves, the whole world knows it.

You don't need to teach me the Golden Book, and I don't need it."

"I won't die. I want to become an immortal in this life and be respected in this life. I don't ask for the afterlife. The afterlife will not be mine!" Xiaoyu said lightly.

If she really died and her soul fell into the hands of the King of Hell, her identity as a time traveler would most likely be exposed.

At that time, it would be a blessing to go to the eighteen levels of hell.

Hong Qi was silent for a while, then said, "The Golden Book of Tai Chi is not complete."

"Well, there is only the first volume, which is said to help me make up for the shortcomings in the breathing technique. Hey, when I get into it and can't stop, you can use the middle volume, the lower volume, or even the middle volume A, B, C, and D and the lower volume A, B, C, and D to control me." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Then do you want to practice?" Hongqiu asked.

"I will use my body as a furnace, and the furnace will melt all the classics, and eventually become the Great Dao."

This is the standard practice routine for protagonists in online novels.

"You are talking nonsense again! There are three thousand great ways, but only one righteous way. The immortal elixir lies in purity." Hongqiu said with a serious expression.

Xiao Yu said helplessly: "I just want to become an immortal. I don't care about the right way or the wrong way. With my conditions, I am not qualified to be picky."

If she were given a secret book that could lead her to becoming a fairy, she would never practice those messy fairy martial arts secrets.

Hongqi sighed softly. Isn’t she the same?
The ten great immortals of Lu State are all dead, who else can she count on?

It is better to start the path of cultivation with the "Golden Book of Tai Chi".
"Whoosh————"

A very sharp sound cut through the air and fell from the starry sky.

It was so fast that before the two women heard the sonic boom, it had already penetrated the grape trellis and fell towards the people in the pool.

The speed of escape far exceeds the speed of sound. "Who?"

Xiao Yu didn't have time to hear the sound, but was stimulated by the sharp sword intent and his hair stood on end.

Not a metaphor.

Her body sank to the bottom of the water, with tiny transparent hairs standing up.

She grabbed the hilt of the sword hidden under the water and swung it upwards with her backhand.

It was a miss.

Her reaction and speed were very quick, but she was still slow and couldn't keep up.

A small sword the size of a palm, flashing with green light, was suspended in front of Hongqi.

The sword blade, which is as thin as a cicada's wing and has a transparent texture, makes a "buzzing" vibration.

It was not until this moment that the subtle "thunder" whistle reached the ears of the two women, causing ripples on the surface of the pool.

But the sword's roar was extremely condensed and only echoed in a small area; nothing could be heard beyond a few steps.

"what?"

Xiaoyu popped his head out of the water with a splash. Seeing the small sword vibrating at a high frequency, Hongju looked confused, with a faint green light between his eyebrows, which echoed the green light emitted by the small sword.

"Hey, the 'Xunyuan Little Sword' actually flew here."

A pleasant sigh sounded beside the pool.

Xiao Yu held the sword and looked back, stunned, and murmured: "Are you a fairy in the sky? Sister Fairy, please have mercy and save me!"

Standing by the pool was a young woman about 1.7 meters tall, with charming looks and a voluptuous figure.

She looked to be in her early thirties at most, and seemed to be wearing a monk's robe, but the color was a light lake green, the style was simple, but the material was extremely luxurious.

She also had waist-length hair that was jet-black and thick, like a waterfall. It was not decorated with any gold hairpins or jade rings, only a plain hairband tied at the end.

"Haha, you're quite a clever little girl." The woman smiled even more gracefully.

Xiaoyu has not seen Shaoyao, the most elegant prostitute in Tianmen Town, but she feels that Shaoyao must be inferior to the person in front of her.

Well, if the woman in front of her knew that she was comparing herself to a famous prostitute, she would definitely slap her in the face with a dark face.

"Junior Dou Gengyan pays homage to the South Sea Divine Nun!"

Hongqiu was stunned for only a moment, then she excitedly turned over and climbed out of the pool, kneeling down and almost choking with tears.

"Oh, you know me?" Shen Ni deliberately looked puzzled.

Hong Qi buried her head in the ground and said quickly, "My father often tells me how admiring the nun is."

Xiaoyu complained about the name "Nanhai Shen Ni" in his heart, but his actions were not slow at all.

She also hurriedly climbed out of the pool, knelt beside Hong Qi, and shouted: "Junior Yu Fengxian pays homage to the South Sea Divine Nun, Divine Nun Mother, the Dharma is boundless, saves the suffering and the distressed, and saves all living beings!"

Hongqiu's face turned red in an instant.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have wanted to turn around and yell at Xiaoyu: You idiot, can you please speak properly? This is the fate I've been waiting for my whole life!

She was afraid that the nun would be scared away, so she hurriedly explained: "Don't blame me, nun. Xiaoyu is a barbarian from the northern wilderness and doesn't know etiquette, but she is a very kind person, loyal and righteous, and has a firm heart for the Tao. Her talent is rare in the world."

The South Sea Goddess looked at them both meaningfully and said with a smile, "Gengyan, you and I are really destined to meet.

When you were born not long ago, I was traveling in the secular world just like today. On a whim, I released the "Sword of Seeking Fate" to look for the child with whom I had a master-disciple relationship.

The sword of seeking fate found you when you were still in your infancy.

But your father suspected that I was not a good person and declined my offer.

Our relationship as master and disciple ends here.

Today I released the sword of seeking fate again, and I didn't expect it to find you again.

It seems that we are destined to be together. Are you willing to abandon this worldly world and return to the South Sea with me to practice?"

"I do!" Two firm voices sounded at the same time.

Uh, Hongqiu is shouting, and Xiaoyu is also shouting excitedly.

The South Sea Divine Nun glanced at Xiao Yu and shook her head, saying, "Yu Fengxian, you should have felt that Xunyuan Xiaojian didn't look for you. You and I are not destined to be together."

"I feel it!" Xiaoyu raised her head, looked at Shenni with her big sincere eyes, and said emotionally: "Shenni, I have never seen my mother in my life, but when I see your kind and gentle face, I feel like I have seen my mother."

Hongqiu reached out and touched her quietly.

——When facing a hermit, be sincere and don’t be slick!
Xiao Yu tilted his head to glance at her, then looked at the Nanhai Shenni nervously, and said, "I really think you are very similar to the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, so please don't be offended if I call you 'Shenni Old Mother'."

The founder of their Miaoshan Sword Sect is Guanyin Bodhisattva!
The nun was only happy in her heart, but she smiled kindly and said, "For monks, the five aggregates are empty, so the name is not important."

"Goddess of the West!" Xiao Yu shouted excitedly and bowed.

Her expression was sincere.

Really, she was sincere in this worship.

"You gave me the feeling of a mother. This is the greatest fate!"

Seeing that the nun didn't show any disgust on her face, Hong Qi quickly chimed in, "Master, Xiao Yu is a natural born cultivator. Her talent is far greater than mine, and she has good character. She's a good person."

The South Sea Divine Nun sighed, "Since you have already called me 'Master', I will not try to evade you with words.

She is different from you. You have the blessing of immortality, but she doesn't.

Even if I teach her the magic, she will never be able to become an immortal in this lifetime.

If she were an ordinary person, I would just treat her as a burden and let her be a maid to clean the house.

But she has too many causes and effects.

The Kingdom of Shu can let you go, but it absolutely is unwilling to let her go. This is one reason.

There are also the 'Eight Immortals of the West'. Even if so many of them die, it won't be the end of everything.

Take the 'Fairy Hongfu' who was included in the List of Gods by her the day before yesterday.

She is the disciple of Xuan Zhenzi of Tongtian Sword Sect.

Xuan Zhenzi and I have been friends for hundreds of years. Hongfu has poured tea for me and saluted me many times, showing great respect.

How can I face my old friends after I accepted Yu Fengxian? "

Hong Qi said anxiously: "Xiao Yu has no choice. They want to kill her, and she can only protect herself."

As if she thought this was too childish, she paused for a moment and then said seriously: "Master, if you accept Xiaoyu as your disciple, even if you will bear some consequences in the short term, you will definitely not regret it in the long run.

Her talent cannot be measured by mere sword bones."

The South Sea Goddess smiled and said, "You want to say that if I give up on her, I will regret it sooner or later, right?"

"Disciple dare not!"

Hongqi did think so, but she was not stupid, so how could she say it directly?

The South Sea Divine Nun said calmly: "My child, your 'longer time' is not long enough.

Even if, as you said, I regretted it for a moment, regret is meaningless to an immortal.

Because for immortal immortals, all negative emotions can be resolved with time.

A hundred thousand years or a million years from now, if I still haven't forgotten her, I will only smile to myself when I recall my past regrets, without any ripples in my heart."

After she finished speaking, she no longer gave the two women a chance to speak. A flying sword flew out from her sleeve, and turned into a three-foot-long green light. It rolled up Hongru who was kneeling on the ground, and rushed into the sky. The South China Sea Divine Nun also disappeared at the same time.

Xiaoyu only saw Hongqiu was stunned for a moment in the green light, and then she hurriedly gestured to her: Wait for me.

"I'll wait for you, damn it!"

Xiao Yu stood up, raised his middle finger to the sky, and shouted: "I will definitely become an immortal, and I will become an immortal earlier than you! I don't need to rely on anyone. I don't care about gods or Buddhas. Hongqiu~Dou Gengyan, you just wait!"

She dropped her hands weakly, smiled to herself, and jumped into the pool with a splash.

That night, she was like a lonely corpse abandoned in the pond, head down, arms outstretched, floating in the water, never to get up again.
Uh, the "Divine Ni Old Mother's Killing Method" has been activated. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night and studied it all night.

Whether the Goddess of the South China Sea will regret it in the future, perhaps only time will tell.

Anyway, Xiaoyu only felt a little regretful, but was mostly happy, happy that her friend Hongqiu had become the "free and proud Dou Gengyan" again.

Of course, I am also happy for myself, because the Goddess of the South China Sea is an immortal!
