Chapter 381 The Living Are Like This

The morning light reflected on the black forbidden sea, reflecting a dark halo. Under the blue sky, the French ship went away.

Xu Qing raised his head and watched for a long time. He didn't look back until the French ship was out of sight.

Huang Yan has felt very uncomfortable since he came to Yinghuang Province, and it is reasonable to leave. Xu Qing respects Huang Yan's choice and wishes him and his second senior sister a better future in Nanhuang Province.

"I wish everything goes well." Xu Qing murmured softly, turned and left the port, all the way to the mountain gate of the Seven Blood Boys.

He was going to pay homage to Master Liu.

I was originally going to go there yesterday, but I was taken into the secret realm of the demonic snake by Master Zixuan.

At this moment, walking on the steps of the mountain gate, facing the wind, and listening to the sound of the big trees planted inside the mountain gate rustling in the wind, Xu Qing felt very calm.

In the early morning of the sect, most of the disciples were doing morning cultivation, and the sound of chanting sutras echoed in the distance. This was caused by the changes in the Seven Blood Boys after coming to the alliance.

Started cultivating the mind.

Xu Qing also returned this time and only found out about it during yesterday's banquet.

The practice of cultivating the mind was proposed by Master Qi and has recently begun to spread throughout the sect.

This incident has also aroused the surprise of many disciples. After all, before this, everyone only practiced magic and did not cultivate their hearts.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, because judging from the time points, it seemed that this was the master's behavior after studying the spirit test.

With thoughts in mind, Xu Qing walked along the steps to the back mountain.

All the disciples he met along the way were extremely respectful and would pay homage to him from afar.

Not long after, Xu Qing saw a tomb in the bamboo forest at the back of Qixuetong.

Tributes were placed in front of the grave, and incense was burned and birds flew up.

There are two middle-aged monks there who are silently staring at the inscription on the tombstone.

Xu Qing had met these two people before, and they were disciples of Master Liu.

They also noticed Xu Qing's arrival, looked back at him, clasped their fists and said, "Xu Qing, congratulations on becoming a sword holder."

Xu Qing walked over silently and returned the greeting with cupped fists.

"The two of us were ordered to go out. Before we left, we came here to pay homage to the master. Alas, things in the world are unpredictable, and a year has passed in a flash."

"Junior Brother Xu, we won't disturb you for coming to worship. Let's take our leave." The two of them sighed without saying anything more.

"I wish you two senior brothers a smooth journey." Xu Qing looked authentic and bowed before speaking.

The two of them waved their hands, their expressions remaining dark, and left in the air.

Although the dead are gone and the living are like this, there will still be waves in the heart at some moments.

Xu Qing sat in front of Liu Ye's grave, took out two bottles of wine, poured one on the grave soil, put the other to his mouth and took a big sip, without saying anything, just drinking. The wind in the forest and the light in the sky blended together and flowed continuously into the world. An hour later, Xu Qing stood up. "Sixth Master, the next time I come back to see you, I will bring you a few candle-lit heads to drink with."

After saying that, Xu Qing bowed deeply to the tombstone. May heaven and earth be well together.

Xu Qing turned around and left the back mountain. He did not go out of the mountain gate, but planned to find his master.

He had many questions to ask his master, such as the changes in the Ghost Emperor Mountain within his own sea of ​​consciousness, and the great elder holding the sword’s comment on vegetation at the Taoist altar that spiritual plants might be the direction of studying the gods.

With this thought in mind, Xu Qing walked inside the mountain gate. During this period, he also sent a message to his master to pay his respects. Master Qi told him to go to the attic on the top of the mountain and let him pass.

After knowing where the master was, Xu Qing quickened his pace. As he was walking towards the attic on the top of the mountain, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked towards the mountain gate path ahead.

There was a familiar voice coming from there.

"Little one, you're lucky to have met me. Your uncle Ding Xiaohai has a bad temper. Are you able to contradict him? If I hadn't been passing by on my way out of seclusion, he could have disabled you with just one slap."

"From now on in the sect, you have to listen to me, you know."

"Well, I listen to your Uncle Ding." A shy and slight voice came along with Ding Xue's words.

Soon, Ding Xue, who had a ponytail standing upright, a heroic figure, and an ancient sword on his back, appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.

She acted like a senior, and there was a little boy of about ten years old beside her.

This little boy's clothes are very clean, and so is his little face.

At this moment, he nodded politely, but the next moment he noticed Xu Qing before Ding Xue. The moment he saw Xu Qing, his expression suddenly changed.

Clearly showing fear and fear, his body paused and instinctively hid behind Ding Xue.

Ding Xue was surprised, and then saw Xu Qing in the distance. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly put aside the little boy and ran towards Xu Qing alone.

All the heroic demeanor before this moment was replaced by surprise.

"Brother Xu Qing, I was just going to find you. When you came back yesterday, I was still in retreat. You see, I have almost reached the sixtyth Dharma Aperture and opened the second life fire!"

"But I haven't forgotten it. I will work harder." Ding Xue saw Xu Qing, with a strange light in her eyes and full of joy.

"Brother Xu Qing, do you have something to do when you go up the mountain?"

Xu Qing also had a smile on his face, and at the same time, he noticed that the other party's cultivation had improved so quickly. You must know that more than a year ago, on the way back from Ghost Emperor Mountain, Ding Xue had just completed a ball of life fire.

But thinking that Master Qi once said that girls should be rich, Xu Qing probably understood the reason.

"Very good." Xu Qing praised sincerely and informed that he was going to see his master. Hearing Xu Qing praise herself, Ding Xue's heart beat faster, her face turned slightly red, and her face was filled with happiness.

Xu Qing's gaze fell behind Ding Xue and looked at the uneasy little boy in the distance.

The little boy stayed where he was. It was hard to say whether to leave or stay. He looked timid at the moment, and fear rose in his heart.

He was really afraid of Xu Qing.

Although the token he came to the Seven Blood Boys was given by Xu Qing, the words Xu Qing said before leaving that day made him know that the other party saw through everything about him. Especially on Xu Qing, he had felt the power of suppression before, and now when he looked at it again, the power of suppression had reached the extreme.

Others might not be able to see it, but he was different. He felt it very clearly. It was the pressure of Ghost Emperor Mountain.

This little boy was the weird person that the Seventh Master had favored when he and Ding Xue lived in the small town at the foot of Ghost Emperor Mountain.

"Brother Xu Qing, you still remember him, the little boy in the small town." Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Ding Xue smiled and spoke. "Wang Ling, why don't you come and pay your respects to your Uncle Xu." Ding Xue glared at the little boy.

The little boy suppressed his fear, took a few steps forward with a tingling scalp, and paid his respects to Xu Qing, his voice trembling.

"Hello, Uncle Master Xu."

Xu Qing looked calm. He learned about the situation and knew that the child had been at the mountain gate for several months and had been at the foot of the mountain.

Today, he went up the mountain to exchange for the Dharma Boat. As a result, he caused Ding Xiaohai's disgust for some reason. Ding Xue passed by and helped him.

"I saw Ding Xuehai looking at him with some strange eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him. I don't know why, so I helped him."

Ding Xue still had a loving smile on her face, but she secretly sent a message to Xu Qing.

Although she looked well-behaved and virtuous in front of Xu Qing, she was actually very smart, with a delicate mind, and no lack of scheming and observation.

"Brother Xu Qing, go and pay your respects to the master. I will find you later. I will also send little Wang Ling down the mountain first." Ding Xue said with a smile.

Xu Qing nodded and walked towards him.

The little boy beside Ding Xue turned his head to look at Xu Qing's figure at this moment, and a hint of envy appeared in the depths of his eyes. He thought of what Xu Qing said to him that day, so he couldn't help but speak softly.

"Big brother...ah, Uncle Xu, what you said to me that day..."

"Work hard, you will achieve it." Xu Qing turned around, glanced at the little boy, and nodded.

The little boy took a deep breath, nodded as well, and followed Ding Xue away in Ding Xue's smile.

He wanted to become a human, a real human, and this was the only reason why he came to Qixuetong.

After an incense stick of time, at the top of the Qixuetong mountain gate, in the attic, Xu Qing's figure walked out from outside, and saw the serious-looking master and the middle-aged servant beside him at a glance. The two were playing chess.

But compared to the seriousness of the Seventh Master, the middle-aged servant familiar to Xu Qing had a relaxed look on his face.

After seeing Xu Qing, the middle-aged servant was about to stand up to greet him, but Xu Qing took the lead and bowed his head, clasped his fists and bowed.

The middle-aged servant smiled and stood up to return the greeting.

The Seventh Master on the side threw his sleeves at this moment, messing up the chess and cards, and spoke indifferently.

"Your moves are terrible. I gave you so many pieces, but you still lost."

"Old Four, come and play chess with me." The middle-aged servant smiled bitterly and stood aside.

Xu Qing walked over with a normal look, sorted out the messed up chess and started playing chess.

But his chess skills were very ordinary, so as he played, a smile appeared on the face of Master Qi.

"Old Four, your heart is not calm, and chess contains emotions. From your move, I can see that you have something on your mind."

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Master."

Xu Qing looked into Master Qi's eyes and said seriously, automatically ignoring the words that he had said when the jade slip transmitted the sound just now that he had something to ask.

The middle-aged servant on the side saw that the master and apprentice had something to say, so he stepped back and waved his hand to close the surroundings, and sat cross-legged outside to meditate.

"Speak." Master Qi was satisfied

picked up the chess piece and played with it in his hand.

"Master, there has been a little change in the Ghost Emperor Mountain in my body." Xu Qing took a deep breath and was solemn.

"What changes?" Qiye said lightly, and the chess piece was about to fall.

"It turned into my appearance."

With a ding-dong sound, the chess piece fell from Qiye's hand onto the chessboard. He raised his head and looked at Xu Qing blankly.

"What did you say?"
