Looking at Xu Zhiqiu walking towards them, Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi unconsciously tensed up.

To outsiders, the two little girls maintained a standing posture, but tilted their heads to one side at the same time, which made their movements somewhat funny and cute.

"Master..."

The two little girls screamed at the same time.

"Ah."

Xu Zhiqiu came up to the two of them and asked, "Is it Fang Yi or Fang Che?"

Putting my hands on the heads of the two, they were standing still and their bodies shook slightly, but then stabilized.

Don't panic! I secretly adjusted my breathing, tried to affect my heart rate, and even hypnotized myself:
"It's okay, he won't be able to see it, Ying Lingyu, you have to stay calm!"

"..."

Lu Xueqi's heart was pounding at the side. In her entire life, the only thing she was not good at was disguise.

For her, disguising herself and going up the mountain this time was already an act that crossed the bottom line.

If I hadn't been driven by a deep love, I would never have done such a stupid thing.

But at this moment, he was observing Xu Zhiqiu's profile closely, feeling his presence so close.

Lu Xueqi actually felt that...it was all worth it.

"Some time ago, I heard that your parents were not well. Did you go back to see them?"

The two sisters looked at each other, and the younger sister Fang Che, also known as Jin Ping'er, rushed to answer:

"No...no, my sister and I want to wait until we are officially married before going back to tell our family the good news."

Xu Zhiqiu didn't say anything after hearing this, and patted the two on the shoulders:

"It's time to put down the stakes."

thump!
The two sisters staggered and almost sat on the ground, then gasped heavily.

Of course, that's all acting.

Perhaps Jin Ping'er's legs might really be a little sore, but Lu Xueqi had been practicing this skill since she was a child, and now she missed it more.

"Master, why are you coming out so early this time?"

As soon as Guo Dazhuang asked, Liu Yingying beside him said something and reminded him quietly:

"If you have nothing to say, just shut up!"

Guo's face twitched and he kept silent in anger.

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the sky, then looked at the two sisters in front of him, and suddenly smiled:

"I didn't expect that I could meet you two at this moment. I am lucky."

This plain sentence made the two of them feel a little uneasy.

Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi didn't even dare to look at each other at this moment, their faces became extremely stiff.

What does this mean?
Could it be...

Do not!
It's impossible!

Jin Ping'er cried out in her heart -

Even if you, Xu, have great eyesight and can see that the two of us are in disguise, it is impossible for you to see our true identities, right?
Is this weird?
unless……

It was just a coincidence that Guo Dazhuang stepped forward to explain:
“Master means that you two are lucky to have gone up the mountain before Master’s decisive battle with the Beast God. At least you were able to catch up with Master to personally teach you the Dharma and instruct you. Otherwise…”

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhuo kicked him stealthily and said with gritted teeth:
"How nice it would be if you were mute?"

Guo Dazhuang finally reacted, his eyes red, he covered his face, and ran away.

Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi were still in a state of panic and couldn't help but secretly glance at Liu Yingying.

However, Liu Yingying gave them a reassuring gesture.

Xu Zhiqiu said again:
"During this critical period, the steps to build the foundation and obtain Qi can be simplified. Tomorrow, I will give you the precepts. After you pay homage to the ancestor, you will officially join my school. As for the subsequent teaching of the Reversing Life Method, I'm afraid it will have to be done by others."

When Jin Ping'er heard this, she seemed to be dissatisfied with being ignored, and asked inexplicably:

"Why!"

"The sun and the moon refuse to delay, the four seasons urge one another..."

Xu Zhiqiu placed his hand on her head and brushed it gently.
"Time is running out."

........................

into the night,

On the couch.

"Tell me, have we been discovered by him?"

Lu Xueqi recalled the details of the day and felt a little worried.

"What are you afraid of?"

Jin Ping'er's tone was a little strange:
"Given your relationship with him, even if it's exposed, can he still do anything to you?"

“It’s always bad.”

"Didn't you hear what the kid said during the day? There's only one person in his heart that he can't let go of."

Jin Ping'er said, and began to mock herself:
"I originally thought that, with that brief encounter with him, there might be some hope. But in the end... I didn't leave the slightest trace in his heart at all. I really made myself look bad..."

"you……"

Seeing her like this, Lu Xueqi was speechless for a moment.

What can she say from her perspective?

……

The two of them were silent for a long time, from the third watch to the fourth watch.

No one slept.

suddenly,

"I figured it out."

Jin Ping'er suddenly pulled out a dagger from under her pillow. The blade was bright blue and obviously poisoned.

"Tomorrow, I plan to use this to kill him!"

Lu Xueqi was shocked at first when she heard her words, and then her face showed a strange expression:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"

What can this mere dagger, even if it is tempered with the most poisonous poison in the world, do to him?
"I know……"

Jin Ping'er stared at the beams and laughed miserably. How could she not know how stupid this was?

"Tell me, if I die in his hands, will he remember me forever?"

Lu Xueqi suddenly sat up from the bed and stared at her coldly.

This dagger was prepared in advance, which shows that she had this intention in mind and is a truly vicious person.

After a long while, Lu Xueqi said:
"With such behavior, she is worthy of being called a demon cult witch!"

--------

It is late at night and there is someone else who cannot sleep.

Xu Zhiqiu was meditating on the couch, his breathing was weak and almost imperceptible.

The candlestick in front of the window has a tiny light.
Suddenly the candle flame flickered and turned green, causing the shadow of the light on the window to flicker slightly.

Suddenly, a man in a black robe appeared in the room.

Xu Zhiqiu slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. The man in black robe stood in front of him respectfully and bowed to him:
"Lich Heimu, I pay my respects to the Immortal Daying."

The voice was faint and more creepy than the dim green candlelight.

Xu Zhiqiu said calmly:

"I have been in business for 20 years. You are the second outsider to sneak in here."

The lich bowed his hands and said:
"The Trinity Sect is certainly not a place for someone like me to set foot in. I also know my own limitations... If I force my way in, I'm afraid I'll only end up dead."

"Of course, even if it's a night visit, I can only come in if you let me in, don't you agree?"

His words were so humble that no one could believe that such a humble and harmless person was the culprit who caused the Beast God disaster.

Xu Zhiqiu asked, "I am very puzzled. With all the evil you have done, how dare you come to me so openly? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you on the spot?"

The lich laughed sinisterly, and there was no fear on his pale face:
"As you can see, no punishment for a dead man is more severe than dying again."

"But for someone who has died...how can the word death itself still scare him?"

"Do you people from Southern Xinjiang always talk in such a roundabout way?"

Xu Zhiqiu raised his hand and gestured to him:
"Get something dry, or I'll shoot you."

The lich shuddered slightly, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said seriously:
"I can give you a guarantee."

Xu Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows.
"What guarantee?"

The lich's eyes were blazing: "A guarantee that if you are defeated... the beast god will not be able to survive!"

"Oh, this is interesting."

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the lich in front of him, with a cold light flickering in his eyes.

This bastard in front of me has stirred up a huge storm that has swept the world.

Not only did he cause his own disciple's cultivation to be ruined and reduced to a mortal, but he also caused countless families to be broken up.

With such a huge karmic debt on his shoulders, he still has the nerve to come to him and negotiate terms?
It's really the world going downhill, and the Tiangang is in trouble.

"cluster--!"

With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of red lotus fire burst out.

Bright red flames danced on his fingertips, but when the lich saw it, his color changed dramatically!
He took three steps back and leaned against the door, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

However, as soon as Xu Zhiqiu thought about it, the whole room became a world of its own, and not even a mosquito could fly out.

"It seems that you are also familiar with this red lotus fire. You must also know that this fire burns those who carry bad karma with them. The heavier the bad karma, the more fiercely this fire burns. Then according to the karma you have created, I wonder how painful it will be when it burns?"

Xu Zhiqiu controlled the flames and slowly approached him.

The lich was unable to advance or retreat, with a look of deep fear on his face.

Xu Zhiqiu's meaning was very clear - you are not afraid of death, right? Then are you afraid of being tortured?
"No...no! Immortal, please..."

As soon as he uttered the word "slow", the flames of karma had already dotted his black robe.

Bear!
In an instant, the flames of hell engulfed him.

As if boiling oil was poured on it, blood-red flames rose from his body.

“Ahhhhh——!”

The lich began to roll and struggle on the ground, howling miserably.

There was no trace of his previous calmness.

Xu Zhiqiu was still sitting cross-legged on the couch, quietly admiring his miserable condition.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell at a glance that this lich was a fierce spirit with powerful ghost powers.

But even so, if you continue to be burned by the karmic fire, you will be reduced to ashes in a short time and will never be reborn.

So when he had listened to his fill, he felt that it was enough and waved his hand to absorb the karmic fire from his body.

In just a few seconds, the lich lost half of his life.

At this moment, his whole body was wrapped in black energy, and even his voice became weak:
"The Immortal... has he... vented his anger? Then... can we... continue our conversation?"

Xu Zhiqiu did not comment, but asked first:

"I'm a little curious. Since you freed him yourself, why do you want to get rid of him now?"

"that's not important!"

Perhaps because he was burned badly, the lich said excitedly:
"You just need to know that from the moment he was resurrected, I have been standing on the same side with you and everyone in this world."

This made Xu Zhiqiu look at him with sarcasm and contempt, but the lich didn't care and continued:
"That beast god is not a body of flesh and blood, but a condensation of the evil spirits of heaven and earth. It is an immortal being. I don't know how you can be confident that you can kill him? But I have my own way, as long as you are willing to give it to me!"

"Oh?"

Xu Zhiqiu became interested and said, "Why not tell me about it?"

The lich Heimu recited three words with great seriousness:

"Xuan-Huo-Jian-!"

--------

the next morning,

Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi got up early.

It looked like he hadn't slept all night.

Speaking of this disguise and crossing the mountain, it was essentially just doing whatever he wanted.

Neither of them had a clear goal or program in advance, and there was no clear plan as to how far to perform and when to withdraw.

To put it bluntly, he is just relying on favoritism to act recklessly.

In front of the main hall, Xu Zhiqiu sat upright on the armchair.

The disciples of Trinity stood on both sides as witnesses.

Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi knelt in front of him, and the latter felt a little embarrassed and uneasy.

Now that the show has come to this, should I reveal my identity and have a fight with him now?
Or should I just go on with the act and kowtow first?
I was undecided for a moment.

At this moment, most of Lu Xueqi's senses were focused on Jin Ping'er, fearing that she would do something stupid.

"We should be sincere and cautious in dealing with things, and not act deceitfully or with a confused mind."

"You should guard your Qi and calm your mind, as if you were facing a sharp blade. You should not overwork and injure your body, or become emotionally unstable."

"We should act according to the situation. If we lose our integrity and make things chaotic, we will not be able to deal with things effectively..."

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, his eyes gentle and calm:
"The above are the laws and rules of my Trinity. When each of them first became my disciple, they were taught these doctrines."

"But today, I want to say something else to you two."

Lu Xueqi moved slightly.

Xu Zhiqiu first stood up from the armchair and sat on the ground.

"Everyone, don't just stand there. Come sit down."

He waved to the disciples present.

The disciples looked at each other, then sat around.

The master and his disciples sat in a circle on the ground. Xu Zhiqiu pointed at his snow-white hair:
"Ever since your eldest brother passed away ten years ago, I have been maintaining this school, and my energy is really not enough. As a result, I have inevitably neglected to discipline you. Fortunately, you are all sensible and have grown up very well. But in the end, I still feel a little guilty..."

The disciples immediately dissuaded him.

"Master, your words really embarrass our disciples."

"Yes, Master, please don't say that."

Xu Zhiqiu smiled.

"It's a nice day today, and I'm in a good mood. I just want to chat with you guys."

His easy-going attitude infected the disciples around him.

As a result, everyone's mood became excited, and some even proposed:

"Master, can you first tell us about the interesting things that happened when you were young and learning from me? We all want to hear it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately won a lot of support.

"My business?"

Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but glance at the Ancestral Hall at the back. The tablet of "Late Master Zuo Gong Ruotong" was still standing quietly on the tribute table.

Below that, there were spirit tablets that were filled in later.

Uncle Shi Chong, Senior Brother Cheng Zhen, Shui Yun, Chang Qing, Lu Jin and others...

Some of these relatives and friends from another world have long passed away, while some may still be alive.

But no matter whether he is dead or alive, as long as he is placed on this table, it is a thought.

Xu Zhiqiu is a nostalgic person.

"Since you want to listen, I will tell you two stories." (End of this chapter)
