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

Chapter 69 Ghost King's Relatives
"Mom...I'm so scared."

There was a tremor of fear in the childish voice.

Most of the cave was destroyed, leaving only a huge rock supporting a small triangular space.

It was barely enough to provide shelter for the mother and daughter, keeping them alive.

"Don't be afraid, mother is here, mother is here..."

Despite being surrounded by darkness and fear, the voice still tried its best to remain gentle, which is the unique power of a mother.

The daughter hid herself tightly in her arms and couldn't help asking again:

"Mom...where's grandma?"

As a daughter, she suppressed her sobs.
"Grandma... Grandma is asleep, it's okay..."

She hugged her daughter tightly, comforted her with kind words, and swallowed her tears silently.

"Mom... Yao'er is so hungry... Are we going to die here?"

"No, no, don't be afraid, Yao'er, just bear with it a little longer, Daddy will come to rescue us soon."

She swallowed back her tears and pretended to be happy, trying to speak in a relaxed tone to calm her daughter's emotions.

The mother and daughter suffered silently in the darkness.

The cave was completely silent, with only the sound of each other's breathing being audible.

The monotonous and repetitive rhythm added a hint of fear to my heart.

I don't know how much time has passed.
The atmosphere of despair grew heavier in the hearts of the mother and daughter, almost making it hard for them to breathe.

Until a beam of light came through.

It was as if a dark cloud had parted, and the long-lost light filled my eyes.

The mother and daughter looked up at the same time, narrowed their eyes into a line, and struggled to identify the outline of the person wrapped in the light.

……

It is very difficult to dig the gravel with your hands without a shovel or pickaxe.

Xu Zhiqiu stuck his butt out and dug in the pile of rocks for a long time.

Finally, they cleared a hole in the rocks and found the remaining cave.

"Yeah, it's still mother and daughter."

He was quite surprised and quickly pulled the mother and daughter out of the cave.

The mother and daughter were covered in dirt and looked like Syrian refugees.

The daughter looked no more than six years old, and her little face was smeared with ash to look like a tabby cat.

Perhaps because she was frightened just now, there were two clear tear marks on her cheeks.

The same was true for the mother, except that her face could still be discerned.

She was an extremely charming woman. Even though she was in a mess, her gentle temperament could not be concealed.

She has graceful eyebrows, a delicate nose, light red lips, and watery eyes.

This is a woman who makes people feel distressed at first sight.

She just stood there timidly, hugging her daughter and staring at him.

Xu Zhiqiu stared at her for two seconds and quickly realized the problem.

Charm?

With his current life foundation, no matter how sophisticated the charm technique is, it cannot seduce him.

He understood it at a glance.

Her charm is spontaneous, not some deliberate display of charm. It seems to be a talent that is ingrained in her bones.

Could it be...

He had doubts in his mind, but of course they were just guesses.

"Thank you for your help, my lady, I bow to you."

The woman pulled her daughter to bow to Xu Zhiqiu, but Xu raised his hand to stop her.

"You don't have to do this, sister-in-law. It's fate. I'm just doing my part."

As he spoke, Xu Zhiqiu used his golden eyes to silently look at the woman.

However, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Half-demon?"

The tone was one of surprise, as if he had seen a new world.

The so-called half-demon is the offspring of a demon and a human.

Such legends are mostly romantic stories spread by foxes and scholars.

Unexpectedly, I actually saw it in real life at this moment.

As for the little girl in her arms, she was a decent human being.

At this moment, he was half-hiding his body behind his mother, with one big eye looking at him timidly, and half of his hair sticking out.

The woman bowed again and made a blessing gesture.

"I haven't asked for your name yet. Please let me write it down and tell my husband. I will repay you in the future."

"No need."

Xu Zhiqiu waved his hand and was about to leave. In his heart, he still had a sense of distance from this half-human, half-demon creature.

However, at this time,

Dozens of streams of light burst out from the distant sky, reflecting each other with golden and red colors, and shot straight towards this side.

Xu Zhiqiu recalled the strange vision he had seen before. Wasn’t it this color?

"what!"

The woman screamed and her face turned pale in an instant.

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at her.
"Enemy?"

The woman nodded and hugged her daughter tightly.

“Hahahaha, may Buddha bless me, I almost let this poor monk suffer regrets!”

With a deep and hoarse voice, Monk Pufang and a dozen monks returned.

It had been less than two days since they had parted at the teahouse, and Pu Fang naturally recognized him.

"Hey, benefactor, why are you here too?"

"It happened to me."

Xu Zhiqiu also recognized the monk, but not the others.

When the woman heard that the two knew each other, she was so frightened that her face turned even paler.

Pu Fang's egg-shaped eyes immediately locked onto the mother and daughter.
"So, it was the donor who saved these two evildoers?"

"Well, Master, do you have any advice?" Xu Zhiqiu admitted generously.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators focused their attention on Xu Zhiqiu and looked him over.

"It would be better if he could save her! It would be a good opportunity for me to slay the demons and monsters."

The monk had a bad temper. As he spoke, he picked up the golden bowl in his hand and was about to hit the mother and daughter on the head with it.

The little girl was so frightened that she screamed, and her mother's face turned pale.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Xu Zhiqiu stopped him decisively, looking confused, "What sin did these two women commit that you have to kill them?"

Xu Zhiqiu wondered why this monk looked like a terrorist.

Pu Fang still gave him face and explained to him:
"Donor, you don't know that this woman is not a human, but a demon. There was a powerful six-tailed demon fox in the Six Fox Cave, but it was just killed by my fellow Taoists. Only these two fox cubs are left. I am determined to eliminate all the evil!"

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Xu Zhiqiu bowed to him.

Since he has been involved in this matter, he has to take some care of it.

"Buddhists say 'When sweeping the floor, be careful not to hurt ants, and be careful not to let moths fly around the lamp.' As a senior monk of Tianyin Temple, you should be more compassionate. How can you kill a demon just because it's yours?"

Before Pu Fang could answer, a monk in red pointed a copper ruler at Xu Zhiqiu.
"Who are you? You are so ignorant. Don't you know the identities of these two evildoers?"

Xu Zhiqiu heard this.
"What are these two?"

"Humph, these two hybrids of human and demon are relatives of the Demon Cult's Ghost King Sect Master."

Pu Fang nodded.

"That's right, benefactor, you are a righteous person, and you belong to the righteous path. How can you protect the relatives of the evil cult?"

"Oh, I see……"

Xu Zhiqiu finally understood. He had heard of the Ghost King Sect's name.

It is one of the four major sects of the Demon Cult, along with the Hehuan Sect, the Changsheng Hall, and the Wandu Sect.

It seems that this mother and daughter are also hiding their true colors...not simple.

Good and evil cannot coexist, just like water and fire cannot coexist.

Therefore, it is logical that Putin wanted to kill the mother and daughter.

He looked at the mother and daughter.

Noticing his gaze, the woman shuddered, her eyes filled with pleading.

He hid his daughter behind his back.

The monks at the side moved forward and surrounded the mother and daughter.

Monk Pufang picked up the golden Buddhist bowl and slowly approached.

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu was silent for a moment.

Because his mentor in the previous life passed away because of the Quan Xing monster, he hates everyone in this life, and he hates the monsters the most.

But having said that, it does not mean that he can abandon the most basic sense of right and wrong and moral bottom line for the sake of infighting and revenge.

The mind is the principle, there is nothing outside the mind, and there is no need to seek outside.

At this moment, the answer is obvious and clear in my heart.

How can we define good and evil based on our stance?

"Alas, there are so many things going on all day long..."

He sighed suddenly.
