Chapter 72 Return to Xiping Temple
These six alcoholic bees have changed a lot compared to before. The purple spots on their backs are more conspicuous, but they have not yet formed a standard pattern. The size of the alcoholic bees is also much larger than before. Although they have not reached the standard of the previous queen bee, they are not much different.
It seems that these six ordinary alcoholic bees are obviously evolving in the direction of purple-backed alcoholic bees. When they came out of the secret place, Xianshi Na Xiying once said that the purple-backed alcoholic bees are powerful, even against Qi training monks. If these six alcoholic bees are fully evolved, it is equivalent to having six more Qi training monks.
If these six alcoholic bees are all subdued by themselves, wouldn’t it be that they have six more Qi training period fighters? Even if the alcoholic bees have not yet fully evolved and are not as good as Qi training monks, can six of them be counted as one? It’s exciting to think about it.
However, Qingyang soon came to his senses. This kind of thing was just a thought. He had very little experience in cultivating immortals and had not learned any insect control techniques. He had no idea how to subdue these six alcoholic bees. Moreover, even if he could get the insect control technique, these alcoholic bees were stronger than himself. How could they be easily subdued by him? If he angered them, he would probably die more miserably than that Hu Zhensong.
However, there was still good news. Perhaps because Qingyang often used his divine thoughts to spy on the space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd, the six alcoholic bees were quite familiar with him. Although they did not recognize his identity as the owner of the space, they did not attack him. Qingyang sometimes entered the Drunken Immortal Gourd to move around, and the two sides could temporarily keep their distance.
This was enough. At least it was a good start. There would be many opportunities in the future. He would try more. When both sides were familiar with each other in the future, they might be able to borrow strength.
The wild flowers and weeds that Qingyang transplanted to the space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd grew well, and the seeds he sowed gradually sprouted, looking lush and green. This group of alcoholic bees also seemed to like this place, flying among the flowers every day, adding a bit of vitality to the space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd.
As for the four black seeds planted by Qingyang, there is still no reaction, and I don’t know what’s going on. But Qingyang is not in a hurry. This thing must not be an ordinary thing. How could it sprout in three or two days like ordinary seeds? Let’s wait and see.
In the past two days, six alcoholic bees have been hovering under the eaves of the pavilion. Qingyang went to see and found out that they were preparing to build a new beehive there. This is a good thing. When the beehive is built, there may be honey to eat again in the future.
On the last day, Qingyang also tried to use his divine thoughts to get the six alcoholic bees out of the Drunken Immortal Gourd, wanting them to go out to the outside world for some fresh air. The alcoholic bees did not go far away, but moved around in the nearby mountains and forests for most of the day, and then flew back to the Drunken Immortal Gourd.
The effect of letting the fresh air outside seems to be very good. The six alcoholic bees seem to be in better spirits than before, and they are not so repulsive to Qingyang.
After all, the space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd is still a little small, and there are only about one acre of wild flowers and weeds, which is still a bit cramped for the alcoholic bees. Occasionally coming out to relax can still help to increase the relationship between Qingyang and the alcoholic bees, and I can try more in the future.
The cave in the valley that can enter the secret place, Taoist Songhe also took the time to visit it during this period, but it was already deserted, not even a person, and even Qian Banxian's body was gone. It was probably dealt with by the people of the Tiger Gang.
The crack on the wall of the cave still appears at noon every day, but with the ability of Taoist Songhe and others, it is impossible to open it. Moreover, the secret place has been explored by them. Even if they can still go in, they may not find anything useful.
In short, this month has passed in a flash. Since they were found by the Tiger Gang and then entered the secret place to explore, it has been nearly two months. It is time to go back, so early the next morning, Qingyang and his apprentice went together towards the direction of Xiping Prefecture.
Taoist Songhe's strength had long been restored. With the honey he drank secretly in the secret place and the effect of the rain wine he drank during this period, his strength had long reached the level of a top master. Qingyang's current strength is not much worse than that of an ordinary first-class master, so the two of them walked much faster. It took them five days to come here, and only three days to go back.
Two months is not a long time, but when they went there, the thirteen people were strong and powerful, but when they came back, only their master and apprentice were with them. Thirteen people died or were injured, and there were only a few intact ones left. There was always a feeling that things had changed.
However, the city was still the city, and Xiping Temple was still the Xiping Temple. The only change was that there was a middle-aged monk waiting outside the Taoist temple. This monk was sent by Master Kongji of Qinglong Temple. After Master Kongji and Xuanzhu went back, they were not very sure about Qingyang, so they sent a monk to wait here to see when Qingyang would come back.
The monk waited for a month without any news from Qingyang. He thought that Qingyang had been poisoned by the Tiger Gang, so he was ready to pack up and go back. As a result, the people who were waiting for him came back on the last day. Not only Qingyang, but also the old Taoist Songhe who was said to be dead came back.
Needless to say, the monk went back to resume his life. Qingyang and Master Songhe returned to the Taoist temple, and their eyes met for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, Master Songhe said: "Master Naxi Yingxian said that this year is the time when the triennial Immortal Kowling Conference will be held. There are still more than three months before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, but even the nearest Yuling Mountain, It will take more than a month to get there. If you miss this Immortal Knocking Conference, you will have to wait another three years. You’d better leave as soon as possible.”
Qingyang knew that once he left this time, he might not be able to come back in a short time. His master was getting older and older, and he didn't know if he could meet again. He couldn't help but said: "Master, I left, and you are alone..." …”
Before Qingyang could finish speaking, Taoist Songhe interrupted him and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm in good health now. I can do whatever I want when I'm free. When I get tired, I might go." If I look for the old monk Kongji, I’m sure they will welcome me at Qinglong Temple.”
Nowadays, the strength of Master Songhe has reached the level of a top master, which is much higher than that of the original Master Kongji. If the master wants to go to Qinglong Temple to retire, Master Kongji will definitely welcome him with both hands. It's just an old Taoist going to a monk's temple to retire. It doesn't feel right to him. Aren't you afraid that Taoist Sanqing and Buddha will have objections? .
