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

Chapter 119: After eight years of separation, I can’t feel your pulse anymore?

The two old demons were killed.

The old man with both broken arms had disappeared long ago, probably having fallen into the sea and drowned.

The crisis is lifted,

The following small talk is inevitable——

"I met Master Xu eight years ago. I never thought I would see him again today, but in this dark and dangerous place."

Under the gaze of everyone, the Dharma Image bowed respectfully to Xu Zhiqiu.
"It's fortunate that Master Xu arrived in time, otherwise, I'm afraid we would be completely wiped out here."

Qi Hao, Zeng Shushu, Zhang Xiaofan, Fashan, Li Xun, Yan Hong and others also bowed to Xu Zhiqiu.

"Thank you, Senior Xu, for saving my life."

Xu Zhiqiu looked at their faces and found that most of them were admiring and respectful, and extremely reserved, like younger generations meeting an old master.

I couldn't help but feel a little awkward, so I asked the Dharma Image:

"Master Faxiang, how can you call me uncle?"

Dharma minister smiled and replied:

"My uncle Puzhi regards you as an equal, and I am of the same generation as Junior Brother Wu, so shouldn't I call you uncle?"

"Well, if we talk about this, it's okay for me to take advantage of you, but you guys..."

He pointed at each person in turn, from Li Xun, Qi Hao, Zhang Xiaofan, to Lu Xueqi.

Suddenly I felt a little bored.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, you can call me whatever you want."

Seeing that he didn't seem to like the title of "senior",
Zeng Shushu's eyes turned, and he quietly came behind Wu Zhongguang and whispered in his ear:

"Brother, how old is your master this year?"

"Hmm..." Wu Zhongguang tilted his head and pondered for a while, "I think I'm about twenty-six or twenty-seven?"

"what!?"

Zeng Shushu's jaw joint was stiff and he couldn't close his mouth for a while.

Even Qi Hao is already eighty years old, and this guy is only in his twenties?

He would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Total nonsense.

…………

"We are here to investigate the rumored Bleeding Cave under the orders of our respective sects. If the Ghost King Sect and others find it before us, our mission will have failed."

Qi Hao bowed to Xu Zhiqiu and sincerely requested:
"I don't know what kind of evil blood-stained scriptures or evil magic weapons are in that blood-dripping cave. I hope Senior Xu can help us destroy the secret treasure cave and prevent the evil sect from getting it."

We must seize this opportunity. The Ghost King Sect's Suzaku is indeed very advanced.

But now that Xu Zhiqiu is here to keep order, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

Xu Zhiqiu did not refuse their reasonable request, but he was not everyone's babysitter after all.

"I'm here to rescue my apprentice. I can help you with some tasks, but you have to do the actual work yourself."

"Your words are enough."

So next, everyone set the mission goal on searching for the Bleeding Cave separately.

After dividing into groups, it’s time to start taking action.

Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be hesitant to talk. He looked at Xu Zhiqiu and wanted to go up and talk to him several times, but each time he backed off.

"Junior Brother Zhang, let's go."

The Dharmakāya greeted him.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and temporarily suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

Xu Zhiqiu knew what he wanted to do, and he also knew what Fashang was thinking.

But as an outsider, I didn't say anything more.

"Junior Sister Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone was assigned a task and prepared to leave.

But only Lu Xueqi was still standing there, motionless.

Facing the question, Lu Xueqi did not answer, her face was slightly unnatural, seeing this, Xu Zhiqiu came to her rescue -

"You guys go ahead, I have a few words to talk to her."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lu Xueqi in confusion.

Anything to say?

So they knew each other?
Naturally, no one had the time to ask further questions, so they all left.

Before leaving, Wu Chongguang made a face at him.

This made Xu Zhiqiu wave his hand and chase him away.

Soon, only Xu Zhiqiu and Lu Xueqi were left, alone and lonely.

Eight years have passed since we last met.
The two people who once hugged each other for warmth should have had thousands of words stuck in their hearts.

But now that they met, they were both silent for a moment.

Quiet, quiet.

………… “Is it really this beast?”

The tides constantly hit the cliffs, and over millions of years, the hard rocks have been chipped away.

As the waves roll by,

The dark spirits above were circling like fireflies, casting cold light on the shallow sea area, faintly revealing a huge, coiled shadow.

Far away, the Ghost King Sect’s entourage was suspended in mid-air, watching.

“I never thought that the strange beast from ancient legends, the Black Water Mystic Snake, would actually be lurking in this ruthless sea.”

Although she doesn't have golden eyes, with You Ji's skills, it is not difficult for her to see in the dark.

The snake's body was more than four feet thick and about two hundred feet long.

It has a black body and a white belly, and its scales are harder than gold and stone. It can withstand attacks from magical weapons without getting hurt.

Such a huge beast would cause the earth to shake if it moved even a little.

Moreover, according to records in ancient books, it also has the ability to spread poison through its breath, which is beyond human power.

"This beast is extremely perceptive. It will detect any movement within a hundred feet. So far, three of our best fighters have died in its mouth."

When his subordinates reported to him, there was still lingering fear in their eyes.

The eldest daughter, Bi Yao, was unwilling to give in:
"The Bleeding Cave is right in front of us, but there's a guard dog here. How unlucky!"

The Blood Refining Hall was once very powerful eight hundred years ago. If the Ghost King Sect can obtain its secret treasure cave, the strength of the Ghost King Sect will definitely increase greatly.

He was thinking about the jade flower in his hand, his fingertips were white from pinching it, and he obviously didn't want to give up so easily, so he said:

"This beast is very powerful. We should find a way to lure it away, but we don't have enough manpower."

You Ji said, "Why not borrow some helpers?"

"You mean..."

…………

Two figures in white walked side by side on the loose sand of the coast.

In addition to the rhythm of the waves, each other's breathing can be heard close enough.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up now."

Knowing her reserved nature, Xu Zhiqiu was the first to speak.

Girls change a lot when they grow up. The little girl back then has now grown into a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and generous demeanor, somewhat like a goddess from the sky.

Even someone like Xu Zhiqiu, who wasn't particularly impressed by appearance, couldn't help but admire her sincerely.

"You haven't changed much."

Lu Xueqi spoke softly, but she was secretly looking at his profile out of the corner of her eye.

She couldn't help but compare him in her mind -

Eight years have passed, and just looking at the outline of that face, perhaps it has become more mature and experienced.

But the feeling I had for myself remained unchanged.

Xu Zhiqiu suddenly remembered something:
"Hey girl, if I remember correctly, you are... seventeen this year, right?"

"Eighteen years old."

"How can you calculate your age? You are deliberately exaggerating it..."

Xu Zhiqiu laughed and teased, but when he saw the Tianya in her hand, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised:
"Even this magic weapon was given to you. It seems that your master is very good to you. How are you doing in the mountains these years?"

Feeling his "clumsy" concern, Lu Xueqi felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't describe the feeling for a moment.

"Yes, on the mountain, Master, Senior Sisters, everyone was very kind to me."

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

Xu Zhiqiu let out a breath, feeling a little relieved and comforted.

The conversation between the two was very scattered, with no beginning or end.

Suddenly Xu Zhiqiu used his golden eyes to look at her cultivation level.

After seeing this, I couldn't help but be surprised.

"I heard that your Qingyun Sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao has three realms: Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing. In my opinion, you should be at the threshold of Yuqing now, right?"

"Yes." Lu Xueqi nodded gently and looked up at him. "Thanks to the foundation you laid for me back then, my cultivation has been going smoothly until now."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu lowered his head and chuckled, feeling quite emotional:

"I was right back then. You are indeed a natural talent. If Chongguang had a third of your intelligence, he would have broken through the second level long ago. Why did we have to wait until today?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi felt unhappy, and it showed on her face.

Xu Zhiqiu was startled when he noticed her strangeness:
"Why, you don't want me to compare him to you?"

"..."

Lu Xueqi pursed her pink lips and nodded silently.

Then, she looked at him deeply.

The awkward and even slightly resentful look in his eyes made Xu Zhiqiu a little confused.

Confused.

After not seeing each other for eight years, how come I still can’t feel this girl’s pulse?
