The salted fish attack made the master carry the cub

"People must be saved." The boy paused and expressed his thoughts.

Now in their hands for nothing, those peacock demons had already uttered wild words to want the unformed baby in the womb of the master.

They could indeed turn a blind eye to what was about to happen two days later and watch from the sidelines, but if they waited any longer, the peacock demon's power would become stronger, and the next step would be to retaliate against them.

Those peacock demons knew the location of the old house, and when the demon king was able to reshape his soul, the group of peacock demons would only become more and more threatening to them with a backbone.

People from Jiuchongtian come slowly, even if they go back, they will be slow, no matter whether it is emotional or reasonable, they have to solve the lantern ceremony two days later.

"Investigate slowly if you don't have any clues, and find a way if you don't have enough people. The monster race has limited spiritual power, and has not yet lost its animal nature, and its temperament is unstable. As long as it is clearly investigated and used skillfully, there must be a way to solve it."

"According to my arrangement, let's divide our troops into two groups. Master, take the chicken and start investigating from that female ghost." The young man pointed to the two Ji's family members and said, "Get ready, and follow me to Cumulus Temple in a while. Take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "creak" sound, and the door that was originally closed opened a crack.

"Wind?" Ji Sheng got up and said.

In the next second, a bunny got in through the crack of the door.

"Can you take me with you? I want to avenge my parents."

It was the little rabbit who spoke.

-

Several people prepared separately, and agreed to meet downstairs in the inn at noon.

Qi Wushen asked those two people to help him prepare some things, while he studied those spells in his room, as he couldn't use the magic spell right now, these yellow charms were their hope.

"Master, that... How did you draw the Butian Talisman?" The young man put down the pen in his hand, turned his head and asked Zong Wu.

In fact, it's not that he really can't write that talisman, it's just...

"Well, I'll do it." Zong Wu took the pen handed by the young man, swiped the big pen, turned his wrist sharply, and wrote the spell neatly, then handed the pen to the little apprentice, half pillowing on his arm to restore the silent appearance just now .

Qi Wushen: "..."

From the very beginning, Master has used this movement to stare at him without turning his eyes.

"Master, is there anything you want to tell me?" The young man took the initiative to speak and passed the words.

"Yes." Zong Wu said bluntly, "Why am I the one who investigates the female ghost, and you go to Cumulus Temple with them?"

"..." The boy took out the speech he had prepared a long time ago.

"Master, Xiaoji has a quick temper and doesn't know how to think about things. You were once targeted by that female ghost. Considering—"

Clang, clang, clang.

Zong Wu tapped his fingertips on the table, and faintly uttered three words between his white teeth.

"to be frank."

The young man lowered his eyes for a moment before opening his mouth.

"Master, those peacock monsters have been coveting me... the fetus in your womb, my apprentice is worried that you will pass by, so they will attack in advance."

"I don't need your protection." Zong Wu said lightly.

The young man lowered his head, not knowing how to continue the conversation. Of course, he did know that Master did not need his protection.Not only that, but if the master's spiritual power is still there, it is not difficult to kill all the peacocks in the entire Taoist temple directly by hitting a few hundred.

Zong Wu has indeed done this before, but...

"Ahem." The young man whispered softly, instead of mentioning this matter, he mentioned another one.

"Master, do you remember the first time we met?"

The young man's voice caught his ears, and Zong Wu's mind flashed the scene of the first sight.

At that time, the little apprentice had just been born, and he heard the first cry of the baby.

Zong Wu lived on the Nine Heavens all year round, and this was the first time he saw a baby born, his delicate and fair face was flushed, as if he could wring out water.

Even though such small hands and feet kicked people, they kicked people extremely powerfully, causing the woman Wen who was holding the child to frown repeatedly.

"How does it feel to see a child for the first time?" The person behind him patted Zong Wu on the shoulder.

Zong Wu didn't look back, his gaze was still fixed on the bronze mirror in front of him.

He had never seen the scene in the mirror before, it was such a big Qi mansion, with so many people coming in and out, it was so lively.

That scene was full of vitality, it was different from the lifelessness in Jiuchongtian, especially from him who was extremely restrained in every movement and stillness.

He faintly felt that something was touched, stared at it for a while, and then shook his head.

"I don't know," he said.

The calm lake water was disturbed by the sudden pebbles, but the mirror-like lake water did not know the origin of the emotion.

"Then think about it carefully." The person behind him patted his shoulder and said again.

Zong Wu rubbed the center of his brows, dispelling the past events in his mind.

He knew that the first meeting that the teenager knew was definitely not what he thought of.

The bond between Qi Wushen and him started far earlier than the young man knew.

Touching the corner of the table lightly with his fingertips, Zong Wu cleared his throat, recalled for a moment, and said, "Yes, I remember."

"The first time we met was the day you ascended, above the Nine Heavens."

Hearing this, the boy pulled out a smile.

"Master, I pushed you back then, and I was very angry with you."

That was after the Qi family fell down.

The whole family died, scattered, and the remaining people with the same surname, the males were slaves and the females were prostitutes.

At that time, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was full of energy, and he couldn't accept the current result of the Qi family.The people my father saved were innocent. They just let the innocent people go. They clearly did nothing wrong. How could they be reduced to the present result?

During the few years when he was demoted to slavery, he suffered all kinds of stares and insults. At first, he was dragged into a slave by a noble family, and he desperately wanted to prove to those people that his father was right and that what they did was good.only……

Those people didn't care about his innocence at all.

They only know that the little heirs of the royal family in the past are now reduced to little things who have to serve tea and water for them. Is there anything more fun than this?

In their eyes, the boy is not even a person.

The wall collapsed and the monkeys scattered. Those elder brothers and uncles were obviously the colleagues of the father in the past, but the loss of power in the court turned the young man into a little thing in their eyes, who could be beaten and scolded at will.

Even Qi Wushen's "self-proving of innocence" every time he resisted and argued, became a talking point among those people.

——"Look, he's still tossing."

——"Do you still think that you are the same noble little son as before? Stop dreaming, Qi Tingyi is dead, who wants to listen to what he has to say?"

——"Toss it, no one cares about him anyway, stop shouting when you're tired, like a parrot, it's also funny."

A day or two passed, and he would still argue.

One month and two months passed, and he still believed in the goodness and righteousness taught by his father.

But a year or two passed, and the boy changed.

He became taciturn, and he found that he couldn't change anything.

He no longer cares about those who are fair and just, and the people of the world. What he wants to do is to change from returning justice to the Qi family to protecting the people around him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do such a simple thing.

He was sent to do odd jobs in the teaching workshop, but he could only watch the surviving female relatives at home being bullied and abused, unable to sleep at night, unable to eat at night, and finally died of depression and died scattered.

It rained heavily that night, Qi Wushen sent away the last relative, those people wrapped his mother in a straw mat, threw him to the mass grave, and said some sarcastic remarks.

"Tsk tsk tsk, do you really think I'm still the famous Mrs. Zhen? You're already here, and you're still pretending to be a chaste woman. Isn't this killing you for the sake of face?"

"Isn't it? Qi Tingyi is dead, who can protect her? It's a blessing to live for two more years and die now."

His mother, in order to protect him from being raped, he forbids anyone to use sarcastic remarks to dirty his mother's reincarnation path after his mother died.

The young man rushed forward and had a fierce fight with those two, but in the end, he was no match for four kicks.

He was injured, not seriously, but was fined to spend the night in the cowshed.

The cold wind is howling, but the boy only has thin clothes.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the wind and thunder roared wildly.

It was raining heavily, and the boy knelt on his back to the sky.

He wanted to question the unfairness of the sky, and he wanted to scold the way of heaven that his father believed in.

What practice?He can't even protect important people if he cultivates the way of bullshit.

what belief?The white jade statue that Qi Tingyi believed in and enshrined all his life was said to be an immortal Taoist, but the immortals did not visit their Qi family.

The boy didn't cry.

The boy didn't feel wronged either.

He just felt that the rain that day hit his face hurt.

He was drenched in the rain for a long time, and finally he remembered that when Qi Tingyi pulled the white jade statue closer to Qi's residence, it also rained heavily.

Over the years, the memory has long been blurred.

The young man chased those memories that felt like a lifetime ago, and he remembered countless days and nights, when he was forced by his father to kneel in front of the white jade statue in the quiet room, practicing the method of breathing and refining Qi.

At that time, he didn't even know what Dao Xin was. He just felt that practicing that thing would waste his time for joking and making trouble, so he was terribly annoyed, and he just wanted to rush to muddle through.

Now, all the past, happy and unhappy, have become sour memories.

In the heavy rain, the young man clasped his hands together and adjusted his kneeling position. He closed his eyes and imagined that the white jade statue that had been worshiped countless times was in front of him at this moment, and his father's rude and severe teachings were still in his ears.

It would be good if he heard the teachings that he once snorted at.

The young man thought of this, and a drop of water slid down the corner of his eyes with the rain. Then, he bent down, exhausted all his strength, and worshiped the white jade statue in the void with a devout attitude that had never been seen before, and breathed out again.

boom--

There was a loud thunder that could shake the whole city, and in the rain, purple and blue lightning fell in front of him.

Then, the young man only felt his body lighten, and the strong spiritual power in his dantian penetrated his whole body.

In desperation and helplessness, he faced thousands of people in Zhenggu City to worship and admire him, and soared up in front of the cowshed that no one cares about on that rainy night.

The story of "cowshed soaring" spread throughout Zhenggu City in the following thousands of years. The cowshed at that time became the pavilion of today, but only young people know all kinds of joys and sorrows.

Qi Tingyi thought wholeheartedly, and had no chance of immortality.

He only took a breath and ascended to immortality.

why?

Because this is life.

"What kind of god are you? My father believes in you so much. What did our Qi family do wrong? Why did we have to suffer like this? Where were you when he was suffering? Where were you when the Qi family was down?"

Ascending to Jiuchongtian, the first person the boy saw was Zong Wu who had rushed over after hearing the news, but this meeting was not pleasant at all.

The young man at that time was full of resentment. He hated Zongwu, the dog emperor who made the Qi family suffer unfairly, hated the hypocrites who bullied them, and he hated the whole world.

He doesn't believe in the way of heaven even more, because in the past few years, he has never felt a trace of pity from the way of heaven.

Ascension is a blessing that can be obtained in several lifetimes.

On the day of Qi Wushen's ascension, there were many immortals watching. Hearing the young man's resentful remarks just now, no one dared to go forward, and there were rustling discussions among the crowd.

"Ascending like this, I'm afraid it's a disaster rather than a blessing?"

"That's right. If he looks like this, he will succeed in cultivation in the future and take up a position in Jiuchongtian. Who guarantees that he will not use his public position to avenge his personal revenge?"

"Let's go, let's go, soaring at such a young age, I thought it was a good seedling, but now it seems that it is not a scourge."

Because of those resentful remarks, no one in the vast Nine Heavens would dare to accept young people as disciples.

Qi Wushen ascended, what an honor?But he didn't feel happy at all.

He just wants to rot in the ground.

Yes, it is a good thing to ascend.

But what's the use of his ascension?

The people he wanted to protect and the justice he wanted to uphold were gone.

Ascension to immortality gave him endless life spans, but he only regarded them as endless pain.

until later...

The boy withdrew his thoughts.

Until later, someone pulled him out of the pain.

Until later, he once again had someone he misses.

At that time, the person he wanted to protect was the entire Qi family.

Now, there is only one person left who he wants to protect, and that is Zong Wu.

As a result of protecting Qi's family, he didn't keep anyone.

But this time, he won't let go.

The boy calmly narrated the reason why he didn't want Master to take risks.

Zong Wu listened to all this quietly with his eyes downcast.

The young man stood up, stroked his palms, shook his sleeves, tidied up for a while, then leaned over and kicked the stool away, squatted halfway in front of Zong Wu, took Zong Wu's hand, and finally concluded word by word: "So, Let's go to the temple to explore, and you and Xiaoji will check about the female ghost here, okay?"

Zong Wu lowered his eyes, his gaze first stayed on the hand that was intertwined with the young man, then moved forward, and fixed on the well-behaved young man squatting in front of him.

"What is this?" he asked.

"What is what?" The young man was stunned, unable to understand the meaning of the master's words.

Zong Wu pointed at himself with his fingers, and pointed at Qi Wushen.

"I said, what is between you and me?"

Zong Wu really doesn't know, he doesn't even know what is the master-student friendship in other people's mouth, not to mention, the relationship between the two is beyond the master-student relationship, not a family relationship, and not just a complicated relationship of love.

He practiced the path of ruthlessness and was strictly forbidden to have any emotions.

Emotionally, he is like a barren tree with dry branches and leaves, but how can such barren branches bloom like brocade.

The only thing he knew was that when Qi Wushen was ascended, everyone in the fairy world criticized him, and when no one was willing to accept him as an apprentice and provide him with shelter, he was willing to protect the little apprentice from the wind and rain and watch over him.

There was a soft smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he held the master's hand with a bit of reverence in his respect.

"It's family affection, master-student relationship, and of course love."

The young man said in a word.

In the past, he didn't understand, and replaced all his feelings for Zong Wu with respect and respect.

But now, he understands, he understands thoroughly.

From the first time he was forced to kneel on the white jade statue by his father, from the first time he ascended to see Zong Wu, the fate between him and Zong Wu began.

It doesn't matter whether the relationship between them is family, teacher-student or love.

Because, they have long been like entangled vines, inseparable and inseparable, dependent on each other.

The young man bent his knees and knelt in front of Zong Wu. He took Master's hand, put it to his lips, and said in a very solemn tone: "So, Master, this disciple wants to take care of you and protect you. You Would you like to give me this chance?"

The two faced each other and remained silent for a long time.Zong Wu finally said "good" in a hoarse voice.
