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

Chapter 220: Full Moon Ancient Well, Ping'er Xueqi

Lu Xueqi passed through Yuqing Palace and headed towards the back mountain.

The mountain behind Tongtian Peak was originally a forbidden area, but since Lu was a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, no one stopped him along the way.

Lu Xueqi went straight to the ancestral temple. In front of the temple stood a bluestone table where Shuiyue was making tea.

Seeing that it was his beloved disciple, he stood up with joy:
"Qier is here."

"Master!"

Lu Xueqi took two quick steps forward, and the master and disciple clasped their hands together, with the former speechless.

"Master, I'm not trying to find fault with you, but are you really going to abandon us disciples?"

Ever since Wan Jianyi returned, the person who has been most affected is probably Shuiyue.

At the end of a month, more than half of the time is not at Xiaozhu Peak, but at Tongtian Peak.

This would inevitably cause resentment among the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak.

For example, some time ago, Wenmin, the eldest disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, got married, and her husband was Song Daren, the acting head of Dazhu Peak.

The wedding lasted for three days, but Shuiyue was only present on the bride's day and never showed up again.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Shuiyue was speechless after hearing what his beloved disciple said.

"Don't blame your master..."

A man in a green robe with a straight back walked out of the ancestral hall.

Compared to ten years ago, Wan Jianyi not only does not look older, but looks a lot younger.

He had to help Shuiyue out of trouble:
"I have so much to do. Fortunately, your master is helping me. Otherwise, I can't take care of it all by myself."

Speaking of Shuiyue's current status, it has basically replaced Cangsong's position back then.

In addition to being the chief seat, he is also in charge of many matters of the entire Qingyun Sect.

For example, punishment, warning, etc.

Seeing that it was the head of the sect, Lu Xueqi did not dare to be rude:

"Disciple greets the master."

"Hey, no need to be so polite."

Wan Jianyi waved his hand, signaling the three to sit down at the stone table.

"I called you here this time mainly because I discussed with your master that there is a mission that you still need to perform."

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi looked at her mentor.

Shuiyue handed an invitation to Lu Xueqi:

"The other day, the Cultivation Alliance invited me to a meeting at Qingyun. Your uncle Wan and I both agreed that it would be appropriate for you to come forward."

"I?"

Lu Xueqi's thoughts moved her, but it wasn't too surprising.

As we all know, all the successive leaders of Qingyun Sect are from Tongtian Peak.

Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate for a disciple from Tongtian Peak to appear in public for Qingyun.

However, since Wan Jianyi took over as the head of the sect, many changes have been made and Qingyun Sect has ushered in a new look.

We cannot say that it is definitely better than before, but some old conventions have indeed been abolished.

Wan Jianyi took a sip of tea:
"Rather than calling it a meeting, it's more like the Cultivation Alliance showing off its influence to the world, especially to old-fashioned righteous sects like us."

"As for what will be discussed at the meeting, all the factions in the martial arts world have basically known about it in advance. At that time, it will only be a matter of whether or not to express a position."

Lu Xueqi thought about it and declined:
"My disciples are insignificant and their words have little weight, how can I presumptuously overstep my authority?"

"What are you afraid of?" Wan Jian glanced at Shui Yue, "With your master backing you up, even I, the headmaster, have to submit."

Shuiyue narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and spat:

"There's no seriousness in front of the children..."

The two of them acted like this, causing Lu Xueqi to smile secretly.

Shuiyue held Lu Xueqi's hand.
As he gazed at his disciple, his eyes were filled with a glow of relief and pride.

It was as if he was looking at a unique work of art that he had forged with all his efforts.

"In the past ten years, your cultivation has become more and more advanced, and you have even crossed the threshold of Taiqing. Not only can you be called the best among the younger generation, but looking at the world, few people dare to say that they can defeat you. The future of Qingyun must belong to you."

As he spoke, he stroked Lu Xueqi's cheek and said solemnly:
"In this case, I am relieved to hand Xiaozhu Peak over to you."

"Master..."

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi felt sad for no reason.

Since she entered Xiaozhu Peak more than 20 years ago, Shuiyue has treated her as her own daughter and taught her.

They are called master and apprentice, but in reality, how are they different from mother and daughter?

After calming down, Lu Xueqi suddenly asked:

"Then Master, when will you and Uncle Wan...get married?"

Shuiyue was choked, her face looked a little stiff and awkward:

"There's no need to be too anxious about this."

Wan Jianyi interjected:

"Why not? The fifth day of next month is an auspicious day. I think it will be about the right time."

As early as three hundred years ago, Shuiyue was deeply in love with Wan Jianyi.

Today, Wan Jianyi returns the favor and does not let the beauty down.

Three hundred years of infatuated love finally bore fruit.

As her beloved disciple, she was naturally happy for Shuiyue.

Although she was touched and relieved, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but reveal a bit of sadness in her eyes.

…………

After leaving the back mountain, Lu Xueqi came to Yunhai Square alone for a walk.

The mist spread over my ankles, vague and uncertain.

Her lotus feet traced the water, stirring up endless waves of clouds under her feet, which was very fun.

But at her age, she is no longer the playful little girl she used to be.

Looking towards the southeast,
The towering Kanglong Peak stands majestically and loftily.

Many pavilions and palaces have been built on it in the past ten years.

His reputation in the underworld spread throughout the world within ten years.

——The Immortal Daying.

What a lofty name! It sounds as if it is detached from the world and isolated from the rest of the world.

But Lu Xueqi always knew that it was not like that.

She took out a piece of painted paper from her sleeve.

I want to stretch out my fingertips and write something on the paper.

But after hesitating again and again, he finally didn't put anything into writing.

Obviously, they are not far away, but it seems like they are separated by two worlds. I want to see them but cannot.

Ten years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically.

Lu Xueqi stared at him blankly, murmuring:
"Are you ok?"

--------

It is about two thousand miles southwest of Heyang City.

There is a city that has been newly built in recent years, called "Suiye City."

The geographical location of this city is somewhat special. In addition, there is an ancient town called "Xiaochi" more than a hundred miles to the south.

The rest of the way, to the east, west and north, was just vast wasteland.

If we follow the speed of human carriages and horses, we may not find any supplies after ten days or half a month of travel. Because it is so inconvenient, merchants traveling back and forth basically take a detour.

Therefore, when this city was first built, the group of people it mainly served were not ordinary people at all.

But a monk.

And this Suiye City is also the location of this Cultivation Alliance Conference.

……

At noon that day,
There was a lot of noise in the Yinghe Tower.

Many practitioners gathered together, calling friends to drink tea and chat.

They talked about things in the underworld and discussed seniority.

This is to warm up for the upcoming conference.

Until three young women walked in to the entrance of the first floor, everyone in the building fell silent.

The leader was an extremely beautiful woman, cold and stunning, wearing light blue clothes and carrying a blue fairy sword in her hand.

The one on the left is slightly more mature and gentle.

On the right is a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, cute and adorable.

"Wow~ It's so lively."

Xiaoshi opened her cherry-like mouth and looked around with her big watery eyes. She was not afraid of strangers at all.

"Girl, you are afraid of the dark, ghosts and mice, but you are not afraid of people."

Lin Chushuang on the side laughed and teased, but Xiaoshi didn't care at all and soon saw an empty table by the window.

Holding Lu Xueqi's hand:
"Senior Sister Xueqi, can we sit there?"

Lu Xueqi nodded. She had indeed chosen a relatively quiet place for the three of them. Then the waiter went up to receive them.
The other diners in the building began to discuss among themselves.

"He is from Qingyun Sect. Judging from his attire, he should be a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak."

"Is the sword in the hands of the leading woman the Tianya Divine Sword?"

"I know that woman. I heard that she seemed to have had a relationship with Trinity..."

Snapped!
As the person was discussing, he was suddenly hit on the back of the head.

The man turned around angrily and was about to curse his mother,

But when he turned around, he was greeted by an old face full of wrinkles, and his angry expression immediately collapsed into an "awkward" expression.

"Teacher, master..."

"You bastard, you dare to talk nonsense before your hair has even grown out! If you dare to make up stories again, I will pull out your tongue!"

"No, I don't dare to do that anymore. I know I was wrong."

After being beaten up, he became a quail.

In the underworld, gossip is an eternal subject.

Especially for those with a good reputation, private information and even black information have always been topics that people in the underworld are happy to pursue and explore.

After Lu Xueqi and the other two sat down, Xiao Shi hurriedly ordered food.

She was young, and the two men had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi seemed to sense something.

She raised her head and looked diagonally forward. In the distance across from her, she saw a woman sitting at a small table, looking at her.

The woman was dressed in a goose yellow dress, and although she was wearing a veil, her features could not be identified.

But just by looking at the exposed eyebrows and eyes, Lu Xueqi recognized him at a glance.

His cold brows were deeply furrowed.

"Xueqi?"

Lin Chushuang noticed that she was acting strange and asked:

"But something?"

Lu Xueqi thought for a moment and said:

"Senior sister, you and Xiaoshi stay here, I'm going to go out for a while."

Lin Chushuang was puzzled, but did not ask any more questions.

On this trip, Lu Xueqi was the leader of the three. Although she was a senior sister, she still had to follow the arrangements.

Xiao Shi tilted her head and took out some melon seeds from her pocket and started cracking them.

Lu Xueqi walked straight out the door and paused deliberately when she passed by the masked woman's table.

After he went out the door, the masked woman slowly drank the tea in the cup and followed him out the door.

The two of them walked one after the other and found a relatively remote alley nearby.

Lu Xueqi got straight to the point and asked directly:

"This is my righteous alliance. How dare you, a witch from the Hehuan Sect, stand here? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The woman took off the veil covering her face, revealing a charming and seductive face.

There was a hint of ridicule in the pale blue eyes:

"Why? You want to compete with me here?"

"Humph!"

Lu Xueqi glanced around.

Although there are many cultivators in Suiye City, there are also a considerable number of mortals.

If a fight really breaks out, it will affect others, so we must end it quickly!

Thinking of this, he had already held down Tianya.

Seeing this, Jin Ping'er suddenly spoke in a sad tone:
"Oh, sister, you are like a fairy, I didn't expect you to be so heartless. I haven't seen you for more than ten years, why do you want to fight and kill me as soon as we meet?"

Lu Xueqi said coldly:

"Don't try to flatter me. I have no feelings for you."

Over the past ten years, the name of Jin Ping'er in the Demon Cult has become increasingly famous.

Good and evil cannot coexist, which naturally disgusts her.

Seeing that she was not enjoying it, Jin Ping'er also put away her seductive look.

"I guessed you would come, but you didn't even send a chief. It seems that you Qingyun Sect don't take the Cultivation Alliance seriously."

"Stop beating around the bush. What's your purpose?"

"Humph!"

Jin Ping'er put away all her smiles, flicked her fingertips, and shot a paper sign towards her.

"It just so happens that tonight is the night of the full moon."

"There is a small town called Xiaochi a hundred miles southwest of here. Outside the town is an ancient forest. If you are brave, come alone."

After saying this, his figure flashed and he disappeared into the distance.

Lu Xueqi did not stop him. She opened the paper and saw four words written on it.

——Full Moon Ancient Well.

--------

midnight,

The moon is full.

The grass and trees are lush and green all around, and the shadows of branches and leaves are scattered and wild on the ground.

A light blue sword light arrived from the sky, revealing a woman in white.

Lu Xueqi walked along the mossy stone road and came to a well.

The area around the wellhead was also covered with moss, and the old blue bricks were stacked in mottled patterns, as if they were inlaid in the years.

"This is a 3,000-year-old well..."

"It has been said since ancient times that when the moon is full, if a person stands by a well and looks down, he or she will see the person or thing that is dearest to them."

Jin Ping'er emerged from the darkness and walked towards us slowly.

"There are also rumors that when this well appears, if you pray with a pious heart, your wishes will come true."

"I've seen it before you came, and now it's your turn."

Lu Xueqi looked at her silently, thinking to herself that given the current atmosphere, it seemed that they might not be able to fight tonight.

She stepped forward, stood by the well and looked down.

The moonlight was cold, shining silently on the ancient well, reflecting the moss and ancient marks, revealing a sense of vicissitudes and desolation.

"What do you see?" Jin Ping'er asked.

Lu Xueqi looked at him for about ten seconds, then finally looked away and asked:
"What did you see?"

"..."

Jin Ping'er stared at Lu Xueqi's eyes intently.

It seems that the answer was read out.

There seemed to be something in common between the two women, working deep in their hearts.

"Have you seen him in these years?" Lu Xueqi suddenly asked.

Jin Ping'er was silent for a while. She knew who Lu Xueqi was referring to, but she replied:

"I was there at Tongtian Peak ten years ago."

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi's eyes turned cold and she frowned.

Jin Ping'er hurriedly said:
"Don't look at me like that. At that time, my Hehuan Sect was also swept up in the general trend and had no choice."

She walked by the well, looking down from time to time:

"More than ten years ago, ever since I left Trinity, I have had problems with my practice. Although I have achieved great success in my cultivation, I am still plagued by my inner demons, which hinder me in every way."

"This inner demon has existed until now, and not only has it not diminished, but it has become even more insufferable."

"Is it about him?"

Jin Ping'er did not deny it.
"At that time, I hid in the dark and watched him struggling under the Zhuxian Sword. I couldn't describe what I felt in my heart, but I just felt... an impulse... an impulse to not be afraid of death."

Lu Xueqi's eyes twitched, as if she was touched.

But she said nothing, letting Jin Ping'er talk to herself:

"I know that right now, you are probably laughing at me, a witch, for being unrealistic and wishful thinking."

"Indeed, you may be a better match than me."

"Whether he and I love each other or hate each other, whether we are destined to be together or not, it doesn't matter... Instead of wasting my time in sadness, I might as well find an opportunity to talk it out and just get rid of it all at once."

She came closer and could hear the two of them breathing.

Jin Ping'er looked at Lu Xueqi's peerless beauty from a close distance, and there seemed to be faint ripples in her light blue eyes.

"On this point, you and I should be on the same path, right?"

They say women know women best.

At this time, the two peerless beauties looked at each other.

Unlike the hostility before, there seemed to be something different in Lu Xueqi's eyes when she looked at her this time.

Jin Ping'er said slowly:
"So I invited you here today because I want to make an appointment with you first."
