The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 486 The Parasitized Buddhist Disciple (Second Update)

Shen Yunzhou turned around and saw Zhou Qing walking out from the depths of the manor with his hands behind his back and a calm expression. His robes fluttered slightly in the wind, exuding an aura of composure.

"Brother-in-law!" Shen Yunzhou quickly put away the token, walked briskly to Zhou Qing's side, and lowered his voice to explain the situation.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly to him and said in a calm tone, "I understand."

After saying that, he looked up at Guizang outside the door, his gaze lingering on him for a moment, and slowly said, "Long time no see."

Guicang immediately bowed again, this time with obvious respect in his tone and clear, solemn voice: "Greetings, Great Father!"

Upon hearing the words "Big Daddy," Zhou Qing was completely stunned.

His eyes were full of astonishment, and he even subconsciously frowned, wondering if he had misheard.

After escaping from the void, the first place he went was Jiyuan Temple, where the two met for the first time after more than a hundred years of separation.

At that time, the Buddhist disciple always addressed him as "Benefactor Zhou" and never used such an intimate term as "Uncle".

He then used a thousand top-grade wood-attribute spirit stones to completely sever the karmic ties between the two.

But now, Guicang not only came to his door by some strange twist of fate, but also called him "Big Daddy" as soon as they met.

This sudden change left Zhou Qing full of doubts.

He didn't speak immediately, but squinted and carefully examined Guicang.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing's pupils suddenly contracted, and the astonishment on his face was instantly replaced by shock, his tone filled with disbelief: "Late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm!"

Zhou Qing clearly remembered that many years ago, when he met Guicang at Jiyuan Temple, he heard Venerable Jueming say something.

Li Niang passed away just one year ago. Guicang entered the Spirit Severing Realm only after observing three days of mourning and severing the last trace of obsession in his heart.

However, from then until now, it has only been a little over ten years, and Guicang has already soared from just entering the Spirit Severing Realm to the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm.
Such a terrifying speed of cultivation is extremely rare, even in the entire Southern Phoenix Continent.

Zhou Qing even felt a chill on the back of his neck—was this the Buddhist disciple carefully cultivated by Jiyuan Temple?
Such talent is truly astounding.

By the way, I still have one binding slot left for my current [Mind's Vision].

He had secretly decided that if he could see Guizang again, he would definitely use the spot on him.

After all, Guicang had a special identity and a past connection with him, yet there was always an inexplicable sense of estrangement between them.

Now that Guicang has suddenly come to visit, he already has some doubts. He can take this opportunity to carefully investigate and see what Guicang is really up to.

Without saying a word, Zhou Qing's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Guicang. With a thought, he directly bound the two.

Soon, the halo of light that had been floating above Guicang's head faded away at a visible speed, gradually coalescing into two clear words—"Big Daddy".

Seeing this, Zhou Qing frowned.

Since Guicang still considers himself "Big Father" deep down, why was he so cold towards him when he was at Jiyuan Temple?

Not only are they deliberately keeping their distance, but they're also eager to sever ties with spirit stones?
Could it be because he knows that I possess two inscription-level divine abilities, and therefore wants to use this "father-son" relationship to demand them?
If that's the case, then it's far too utilitarian!

A hint of displeasure rose in Zhou Qing's heart.

He originally thought that Guicang was a simple-minded Buddhist who did not care about worldly things, but if his closeness was all for the purpose of seeking supernatural powers, then this friendship would be completely tainted.

Moreover, isn't it said that Jiyuan Temple itself possesses a divine power inscribed in the form of the "Great Brahma Salvation Sutra"?

As a Buddhist disciple nurtured by Jiyuan Temple, Guicang's status is second only to the highest-ranking ancient Buddha and abbot.

Logically speaking, he should be the person with the best chance of cultivating this supernatural power.

Could it be that the number of times the Great Brahma Sutra can be practiced has been exhausted, and it can no longer be practiced by others?
Just as Zhou Qing's thoughts were churning, the two characters "Big Father" above Gui Cang's head suddenly began to flash violently without warning. The golden characters flickered, as if they might dissipate at any moment.

Immediately afterwards, the word "father," which represented a close relationship, disappeared instantly as if erased by an invisible force.

Only a slightly dim "大" character remained suspended in mid-air, conveying a sense of alienation and ambiguity.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Zhou Qing's heart began to pound wildly, and a familiar sense of unease welled up in his heart.

He had witnessed this scene many years ago when he was still a mere Nascent Soul cultivator.

During the Five Sects War, he meticulously set up restrictions and personally killed Sima Yaoji, one of the five prodigies of the Cangyan Dao Palace.

They then took her nascent soul and broken body back to the Taiqing Sect.

This woman not only murdered Senior Sister Luo Xue, but also caused Senior Brother Du Kui to be heartbroken and spend his days drinking and living in a daze.

He originally intended to use this opportunity to let his senior brother take revenge personally and regain his fighting spirit.

Who would have thought that the Blood Bone Demon would suddenly visit, threatening the lives of the other core disciples of the Taiqing Sect.

If Sima Yaoji is not handed over, these disciples will have their abdomens emptied and be turned into black-clad puppets, never to be reincarnated.

Later, when the senior disciples from various peaks handed him the decision-making power, he ultimately chose to exchange.

The reason is simple: if he could capture Sima Yaoji once, he could capture her a second time.

But the lives and friendships of my fellow disciples are priceless.

When his golden core was destroyed and he became a cripple, his senior brothers and sisters from various peaks took good care of him and never showed any disgust towards him.

He would always remember this kindness and would never abandon them because of a moment of anger.

But Sima Yaoji was vicious and would never let things go even after becoming a prisoner.

To prevent this "venomous snake" from secretly plotting revenge or harming the Taiqing Sect through other means.

He deliberately used one of the binding slots of [Heart's Eye] to bind it to Sima Yaoji.

At that time, Sima Yaoji's nickname for him was "a beast that would devour someone alive".

Every word was venomous, filled with deep-seated hatred, which also confirmed that his worries were not unfounded.

Sure enough, not long after, Senior Sister Shi Zhen found him.

With a solemn expression, Pei Yan, the chief senior sister of Yuqing Peak, invited them to join in the fight against the Blood Bone Demon.

Without thinking much about it, he immediately took his third senior brother Yan Xiaohu and went with his senior sister Shi Zhen to the agreed location.

When he arrived at the scene, he noticed a blurry golden note floating above Pei's head, in which the words "life" and "livestock" were faintly visible.

But he had never been bound to Senior Sister Pei Yan.

At that moment, he was certain in his heart: Senior Sister Pei Yan had been possessed by the Demoness Sima!

More accurately, it has not yet been completely possessed.

Sima Yaoji probably chose to use a special parasitic method to infiltrate Pei Yan's body to get close to everyone and wait for an opportunity to carry out her revenge because she was afraid of exposing her whereabouts too early.

Later, he suppressed his shock and did not expose the scheme on the spot, but instead chose to play along.

In the end, they completely destroyed Sima Yaoji's remnant soul and successfully rescued Senior Sister Pei Yan.

And the scene above Guicang's head at this moment is exactly the same as it was back then!
