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

It was early in the morning and the gate of Trinity had not yet been cleaned.

A group of disciples gathered in the training ground, discussing:

"Why are you waking me up so early in the morning? Is there something wrong?"

"Who knows? Do you know?"

"I don't know..."

Everyone was puzzled, and as the person in charge did not show up for a long time, they all looked at the person who had called the meeting.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Guo Dazhuang pinched his throat and took crab steps forward.

He is different from the sloppy one today.

Not only was he dressed respectably, but he also kept his hair and makeup neat and even shaved his beard clean.

This is rare.

"Let me say a few words!"

Seeing that he was about to speak, the discussion below stopped.

Then he began to speak in a pretentious tone:

"Someone from Qingyun Sect's Tongtian Peak came a few days ago with an invitation. Their headmaster Wan Jianyi and Xiaozhu Peak's leader are getting married today, and they specially invited our master to come over."

"Master, I didn't want to go at first, but I remembered that I had received kindness from Master Shuiyue in my early years, so I didn't feel comfortable refusing."

"But hey~ my original intention was to bring you all out to see the world and show support to Qingyun. Do you know why I didn't bring you?"

The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment: "Yes, why don't you take us with you?"

"Because I didn't agree!"

Guo Dazhuang arched his already sturdy chest and pointed at these fellow apprentices:

"Look at how sloppy you all are! You don't even want to stand still on weekdays, and you don't practice your skills well. It's no wonder you show your cowardice when you come to Qingyun Mountain. You have to fight with outsiders and exchange practical experience."

"What if I lose face and get humiliated? Wouldn't that bring shame to the sect?"

"So! For the sake of the sect's plans and our Trinity's great reputation, I advise Master not to take you with him."

The crowd shouted and asked:
"Who should we take with us? There must be someone with us when the Master is around, right?"

"Me!"

Guo Dazhuang patted his chest, very proud.

Apparently, he was chosen as the only disciple to accompany Qingyun on this visit, and his face was filled with pride.

"Of course, don't lose heart. You must work harder in the future to bring honor to the sect, to your parents, and to the young and old men in the village..."

He spoke these words without blushing or breathing heavily. He was sincere in his advice, satisfied his vanity of showing off in front of others, and made people remember his good points.

"Tsk tsk..."

Sure enough, some people below began to nod and sigh:
"Brother Dazhuang is so powerful that even Master listens to him. He is much stronger than other brothers..."

"fart!"

One person interrupted rudely.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the fourth senior brother Yu Zhuo who came. He and Guo Dazhuang had very different tempers.

He came up and pointed at his nose:
"I said you made a donkey's head out of three pieces of paper - you have a lot of face! Why don't you tell the truth?"

The flesh on Guo Dazhuang's face trembled:

"What...what truth? I'm telling you the truth! I'm telling you I'm educating them...please don't mess with me here!"

As he said this, he reached out to pull him.

But Yu Zhuo obviously didn't give him face, and rushed to say to everyone:

"Don't believe his nonsense! The reason why we don't take you with us is because our Trinity's method is too ostentatious. If we pick any one of them out, he would be envied by everyone in the martial arts world."

"Today, there will be many people from all sects gathered at Qingyun Mountain. Master is afraid that you will be flattered by others and lose your way. This will hinder your cultivation, so I won't take you there."

Everyone suddenly understood.

"Oh! So that's what's going on!"

"Master really has good intentions..."

But then someone asked:

"Then why did Master choose to take Senior Brother Da Zhuang with him?"

"Yes, why not bring others?"

Seeing this, Guo Dazhuang showed a bit of pride on his face, and his eyes narrowed.

Yu Zhuo reached out to his underwear——

"How fresh! The master brought him there because he has a good appetite. One mouth can eat as much as five mouths. He won't suffer any loss at the banquet table. He can eat back some of the gift money!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

He stripped off all his underwear, and Guo Dazhuang's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Yu Zhuo! If you are jealous, just say it. Isn't it just that Master brought me and not you this time? Are you jealous?"

He patted his chest, drooling all over the faces of the people below:
"I know you are always dissatisfied with me, and I am also dissatisfied with you, but whether you are willing to admit it or not - I am the apple of your master's eye!"

"The tip of my heart?" Yu Zhuo squinted his eyes, "Eat shit."

He raised his hand and pointed far behind him.

"Are you worthy of being the apple of my eye? The apple of my eye is over there."

Guo Dazhuang was startled when he heard this and turned his head to look.

I saw a few dozen feet away.

Xu Zhiqiu and Wu Bufu, who was jumping beside him, were walking towards here.

Following behind him were several senior disciples including Feng Baoshan and Yu Qing.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiu coming, all the disciples quickly dressed properly.

"I didn't ask you to gather, so why are you standing so straight?"

When Xu Zhiqiu asked the question, all the disciples looked around and pointed at one person at the same time.

"..."

Guo Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed and just kept laughing at Xu Zhiqiu.

Xu Zhiqiu knew his problem and could guess it at a glance.

But today I don't have time to talk about him.

Last night, Sky Fox Xiaobai was planning to join in the fun, saying that he was going to kill everyone at Qingyun's banquet.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't dare to agree.

"Let's go."

"Great! Let's go to the feast!"

The witch smiled happily as she held high a red brocade box that was one foot square.

The brocade box contains gifts.

It is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

Even if it is a gift exchange between the heads of the sects, it is not shabby to show it to them.

Xu Zhiqiu smiled, gestured to Guo Dazhuang to lead the way, and then took his little disciple's hand and set off.

Everyone escorted them out of the sect and were about to take off into the air.

Suddenly, a few black spots appeared in the southeast sky and were rapidly approaching the gate of Kanglong Peak.

Guo Dazhuang was puzzled when he saw this:

"What's going on...you come specially to pick me up for a banquet?" You can't be so enthusiastic, right?
But he didn't notice that Xu Zhiqiu's face suddenly became serious.

It was obvious that the person coming from that direction was not Qingyun.

What's more, with Xu Zhiqiu's eyesight, he could see clearly who the visitor was.

There were more than ten people in total, most of them were neatly dressed and wore the armbands of the Cultivation Alliance.

A few were covered in blood.

After landing, Guo Dazhuang finally saw clearly,
The two of them whose clothes were stained with blood were my cousin Wang Beifeng and Li Buchi.

These two disabled people were actually carrying an unconscious person.

The man was more seriously injured. Not only was his face covered in blood, but his clothes were almost soaked in blood.

Who is that?
The little witch screamed:

"It's Uncle Wujiu!"

The Sanyi people quickly gathered around and asked:

"How did it happen?"

"The troops sent by the alliance were all killed by the beasts, and we are the only ones who came back alive!"

The person involved cried and told the story again, picking out the most important things.

At that time, they were surrounded by liches and demons and had no way to escape.

He wanted to capture the lich and fight for his life, but the lich was very powerful, and there were many monsters surrounding him, so it was impossible to do so.

But at least the situation was disrupted and everyone fought hard to break out.

Among them, Fu Wujiu, relying on his foundation at the second level of Ni Sheng, took the initiative to serve as a strong pillar for everyone's retreat.

But also suffered the most damage.

Fortunately, the lich probably didn't care about their life or death, so he didn't have the intention to kill them all, otherwise there would be no one left alive!
Wang Beifeng and Li Buchi knelt down in front of Xu Zhiqiu, crying:

"Master Xu! Brother Fu was injured like this because he was trying to cover our retreat. We feel guilty about this! Please save him!"

Of course they don't need to tell me this.

Xu Zhiqiu carefully examined his apprentice's injuries.

It was discovered that the injury had reached the bone marrow, and Fu Wujiu's own attainments in reverse rebirth were simply unable to repair the injury.

At present, his Taoist foundation can be said to be "broken", his innate Qi is constantly lost, and is in an irreversible state.

If this continues, he will die in an hour or so.

If you want to save his life, you have to go to great lengths to repair it.

Xu Zhiqiu began to instruct his disciples:

"Carry the person to the training room first."

"Go to the treasury and get three pieces of forget-me-not grass and some healing medicine."

"Master, is he seriously injured?"

"Spiritual medicine alone is not enough. His innate Qi is constantly dissipating and he will die if he is not replenished. From now on, I will concentrate on healing him and will not see any outsiders."

Feng Baoshan nodded immediately:
"Master, rest assured. I will take care of any external matters."

The originally peaceful and harmonious days were disrupted.

It is not possible to attend the meeting in Qingyun, so I can only send a younger generation to fulfill the courtesy.

………………

After he was carried into the room, Xu Zhiqiu began to use his internal energy to heal his injuries.

Once this process begins, it is not easy to stop.

Fu Wujiu had no reaction at first, and even after taking the elixir, he showed no signs of waking up.

It was not until three days later that he began to have some vague consciousness.

He kept muttering:

"Qiaojie...Qiaojie...where are you?"

He called the name over and over again.

As if he would not give up until he got a response.

As soon as Xu Zhiqiu heard the name, he guessed who it was, hesitated for a while, and told him:

"The woman died. She jumped into the river."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Wujiu's mumbling immediately stopped and he no longer responded.

But Xu Zhiqiu did not give up. He injected true Qi into his body every day to heal his wounds and warm his meridians and internal organs.

His efforts finally paid off. It was not until the seventh day that Fu Wujiu woke up.

His condition was stabilized and his life was saved.

However, all his skills and accomplishments were almost completely gone.

But at least the meridians and acupoints were preserved, but they were too atrophied and needed a long time to nourish and recover.

Fu Wujiu leaned on the bed, his pale face looking a little haggard.

He pondered for another two days after waking up, and now he seemed to have figured it out.

"Master, from now on... I don't want to be a monk anymore."

"Why?"

Xu Zhiqiu was surprised and thought that he was discouraged because of his wasted work.

"It is certainly difficult to start over, but walking the path you have walked before can also be a form of practice. You have good aptitude, and if you spend a few more years, you may be able to regain your place in the Tao."

Xu Zhiqiu advised like this.

It is not necessarily a bad thing for young people to suffer many hardships.

"No, it's not because of that."

Fu Wujiu shook his head, his eyes somewhat straight:

"I was thinking that even if I were just a mortal, it wouldn't be a big deal."

Seeing him in such a state, Xu Zhiqiu simply pointed it out:
"For that woman?"

"..."

Fu Wujiu did not deny it, but remained silent.

After a while, he struggled to get off the bed and knelt down in front of Xu Zhiqiu:
"Master, please help me. I want to go down the mountain."

Xu Zhiqiu stared at him for a long time, and seeing that there was no hesitation or tension on his face, he knew his determination.

"Life is like this. If you take a wrong step, you may not feel any pain, but you often have to pay a heavier price to make up for it. Some mistakes cannot even be made up for."

"Since you have the intention to return to the world, it means you intend to bear this karma. I have no right to interfere, but there is one thing you need to think clearly about..."

Xu Zhiqiu told him the consequences clearly:
“Once you leave the mountain, you will be on both the immortal and mortal sides. If you regret and want to return to Taoism, it will be too late.”

This sentence has another meaning - since you are going to be a mortal, then with a lifespan of only thirty years, your fate with Trinity will probably end here.

Knowing this, Fu Wujiu remained kneeling without moving, but his voice became more determined, even choking with sobs:

"Disciple...I have made up my mind."

Xu Zhiqiu sighed. He was exhausted after the rescue work over the past few days.

However, his disciple's words made him exhausted both physically and mentally.

Xu Zhiqiu slowly closed his eyes:
"Then, I'll do as you say." (End of this chapter)
