Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 108 The world is full of peaches and plums

The group found the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats and walked in.

The cave twists and turns downwards, and it is unknown how far it extends.

After walking just a few dozen steps, they felt their feet go soft. It turned out that they had stepped on a thick layer of bat droppings, which was disgusting to smell.

Dharmashang suddenly turned around and told Wu Chongguang:

"Brother Wu, this cave is dark and hard to see. I don't know how many dangers are hidden. You must follow closely."

Wu Chongguang nodded: "Thank you, Brother Faxiang, for your care."

"Junior Brother Zhang, you too, please follow me closely."

Zhang Xiaofan was a little dull:
"Oh yes……"

Li Xun and Yan Hong from Fenxiang Valley turned back and cast their gazes at Wu Chongguang from time to time.

There are just some differences between the two. The former is more of a scrutinizer, while the latter is more of a curiosity.

Li Xu suddenly asked:

"May I ask this Junior Brother Wu, where is your sect located and how many years have it been passed down? How come I am so ignorant that I have never heard of it?"

"It's a small sect, so it's normal that Senior Brother Li hasn't heard of it."

Li Xun still refused to give up and continued to ask:
"As far as I know, the surname [Wu] is rare in China. It is mostly a pseudonym used by immigrants from Southern Xinjiang. Junior Brother Wu, is he also a Southern Xinjiang student?"

"Brother, you guessed wrong. I was born and raised in the Central Plains."

"Oh, really? That doesn't mean that our ancestors were not necessarily the same, right?"

"Brother, you are joking. How can I remember the things about my ancestors?"

Wu Chongguang just laughed it off and tried to put Li Xun off the subject.

The group groped their way forward in the dark cave, and no one knew how long it had been.

The originally cramped space suddenly opened up in front and a fork in the road appeared.

In the middle of the fork in the road, there stood a stone tablet taller than a person, with four words engraved in blood on it.

——The way of heaven is with me.

According to Fashang's introduction, this stone tablet was cut off by a righteous master during the great war between good and evil a hundred years ago.

But now it has been connected again, which shows that the demon in the Blood Refining Hall is showing signs of revival.

"This fork in the road must be dangerous. We might as well act separately. If we encounter a sneak attack by a monster, we can let out a long whistle to warn them."

The leaders of the three factions on this trip were Qi Hao, Fashang, and Li Xun.

The three of them exchanged a few words with each other, and finally decided that Qingyun and his four companions would take the left path, and Fenxiang and Tianyin and their four companions would take the right path.

The only one left is Wu Chongguang, and it depends on his own choice which path to follow.

Wu Chongguang was hesitating when a crisp voice rang out from the side:

"Follow me and I'll keep you safe."

Lu Xueqi suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

This woman had basically remained silent since the beginning, as cold and quiet as a pool of cold spring water. Why did she suddenly become so caring towards this unknown Wu Chongguang?
There was a hint of scrutiny in Li Xun's eyes as he looked at Wu Chongguang.

Wu Chongguang looked at Lu Xueqi, then glanced at the two people from Fenxiang Valley.

Suddenly he smiled and replied:

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister, but it's not necessary. I have the ability to protect myself."

As he said this, he was about to stand together with Li Xun Fashang and others.

But suddenly, Lu Xueqi spoke again:
"and many more."

Wu Chongguang was stunned.
"how?"

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

As Lu Xueqi spoke, she walked aside under everyone's surprised gaze.

These few simple words were like breaking ice and snow, making people dare not even think of refusing.

Wu Chongguang scratched his head and followed obediently.

"Why is it that Senior Sister Lu and this kid..."

Zeng Shushu hesitated and didn't say anything further.

Li Xun, who was standing aside, had a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

…………

"When did you join Trinity?"

Lu Xueqi's eyes were very cold, which made Wu Chongguang feel a little uncomfortable.

"Eight years ago."

Eight years...

This coincides exactly in time.

Lu Xueqi suppressed the slight throbbing in her heart and asked:
"Then your master, is he..."

She was a little hesitant, or perhaps timid, in her words, for fear of hearing an answer that didn't match what she had in mind.

However, before she could finish her question, Wu Chongguang answered directly: "It's him."

"..."

Lu Xueqi shuddered slightly, only to see Wu Chongguang in front of her smiling, obviously seeing through her thoughts.

"Then...then he..."

Even his breathing became rapid, and an indescribable heat burst out from his cold eyes.

"…Is he okay?"

"It's okay."

Wu Chongguang counted on his fingers and answered:
"He can eat four steamed buns in one meal, drink two pots of wine, and add two pounds of braised beef... With his level of cultivation, he can be fine after fasting for one or two months, but he eats three meals a day. Even he often says: Well... Ancestor, a good life makes people degenerate, and it's almost made me a glutton."

He imitated her in an old-fashioned way, which made Lu Xueqi purse her lips and smile faintly.

This smile is like a fleeting blooming flower, pure and beautiful.

If her fellow Qingyun disciples who knew her from afar saw her, they would probably be shocked.

Wu Chongguang's eyes sparkled as he praised:
"Sister, you have changed a lot since then. Master will definitely not recognize you when he sees you."

The two met once in Tianshui Village. At that time, Lu Xueqi was just a little girl.

Eight years have passed, and the comment made by the White-Bone Fairy Xu Miaowa about her has really come true.

——At such a young age, she has already shown her stunning beauty. There is a calmness between her eyebrows and eyes, and she also has a bit of coldness and strength, which is truly rare.

To describe Lu Xueqi as stunningly beautiful today would be an understatement.

"Will not."

Lu Xueqi's eyes reflected a hint of tenderness and pride, and she caressed the jade hairpin on her head inadvertently.
"He can recognize me."

"must……"

………………

"Sure? Surely bullshit!"

When they were chatting excitedly, Xu Zhiqiu slammed the table so hard that Taoist Liu almost fell under the table.

The little bit of wine he drank had already made him a little dizzy.

Taoist Liu was even more speechless. He sat there in a daze with his eyes wide open, and all he could do was listen to the lecture.

"People in this world are not just divided into men and women, good people and bad people, strong people and mediocre people. Just listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly..."

Bragging at the dinner table is a tradition passed down from ancient times.

Even if you reincarnate three times, you still cannot get rid of the instinct in your genes.

"If you have the Dao but no skills, you can still find the skills! If you have the skills but no Dao, you will only be limited to the skills! Just like those demons from the demon cult... except for a small number of wise people, most of the rest are just a bunch of people who use the skills to make a living and do whatever they want based on their nature... So what do you think we should do when we encounter such people?"

"Easy to handle!"

Taoist Liu, with drunken eyes, waved his hand:
"Kill them all!"

Xu Zhiqiu was dumbfounded at first, then laughed:
"Look, you're... going to extremes again. A one-size-fits-all approach saves trouble, but there's no guarantee that you won't kill the wrong person!"

"You have all these strange tricks, but you don't look like a sorcerer at all. Sorcerers are all about seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, unlike you who only do thankless tasks."

Taoist Liu opened his eyelids a little and said teasingly:
"You dared to save the wife and daughter of the Ghost King Sect. What happened in the end? You are neither a human nor a human being, right?"

"Hey! Let's not talk about that."

Xu Zhiqiu threw his hands away, looking unhappy:
"I have discovered that if you raise the tone too high and set the flag too high, a bunch of bored idiots will immediately pop up, just like buzzing flies, chasing after you and finding fault with you, nitpicking."

"There's a saying... ah, it's called... using the eyes of a saint to criticize others, and using the standards of a villain to tolerate yourself. Do you think this is not disgusting?"

"Okay, let's stop talking about this!"

Seeing that he was going off the track, Taoist Liu stopped him and brought up another matter.

"I heard that in addition to doing charity work over the past eight years, you have also often taught the Dharma and skills. Why, do you want to expand your business?"

"No."

Xu Zhiqiu smiled, picked up the remaining wine in the bowl and drank it all, and suddenly felt a little disappointed:

"In the past few years, I have seen too many disgusting things, and I have also seen too many good people who have the will but not the ability to do anything suffer."

"Some of them have decent aptitude, and have even reached the threshold of cultivation, but because they have no way to enter, they can only be worn down by the evil people and evil things in this world. What can they do?"

"As for me, I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of Taoist methods, so I occasionally take some actions to spread the Dharma. Roughly speaking, over the years, I have spread the Dharma to at least 80 people, if not 100, right?"

"So many?"

Taoist Liu's eyes widened, and even the alcohol had mostly gone away.

"It's like a rabbit giving birth to babies. If it's passed down from generation to generation in a few decades, won't your students be all over the world?"

"I'm not doing this for the sake of my vanity as a teacher, nor am I just spreading this information among some mediocre or bad person... I'm quite cautious about this matter."

As Xu Zhiqiu spoke, he poured another bowl of flaming soup, shook it in tribute to the bright moon in the sky, and revealed a somewhat carefree smile.

"The Buddhist teachings of the Four Noble Truths of suffering, accumulation, cessation and the path to liberation are the right path to bring people liberation. I am not as wise as the Buddha, so I can only use a stupid method - to give them a path."

“May they all be like dragons.”
