The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 573 Mountains, rivers, everything in the universe, and you

So many things happened in today's Ceremony of Sect Master Qingshan's ascension to the throne that many people overlooked another strange thing.

That is, Nan Wang, the master of Qingrong Peak, did not speak from the beginning to the end, or looked into the distance, or turned her body away, and few people even saw her face.

Whether she is the most beloved junior sister of Zhenren Liu Ci's generation, or the unruly southern princess who is rumored to hate Uncle Jingyang the most, she shouldn't be so indifferent.

Who would have thought that she would follow Jing Jiu secretly and kill him first.

Gu Qing, Zhuo Rusui and Yuan Qu didn't know what happened back then, and they didn't understand why she stopped in front of the door. They only knew that she exuded an extremely dangerous feeling, and they couldn't help being vigilant. They wondered if she was going to kill Jing Jiu with her own hands to wash away the humiliation for Qingshan?

Nan Wang turned around and walked towards the small courtyard.

Jing Jiu waved his hand to undo the formation, and followed him into it.

Zhao Layue withdrew the Forsi sword and signaled everyone to stay where they were and not to disturb them.

Zhuo Rusui and the others didn't understand that Nan Wang's murderous intent could even be said to be so obvious, isn't he afraid of accidents?

Of course Ah Da wanted to stay, but Jing Jiu held him firmly in his arms.

The fur around its neck was gripped so tightly by Jing Jiu's hands that its face was deformed, its eyes slanted upwards, and it looked frivolous and unlovely.

Lu Qing walked up to Zhao Layue, a little worried, and wanted to ask what was going on.

boom!

A sudden thunderclap startled him.

The thunder did not come from the sky, but from the depths of the courtyard, and although it was loud, it was not dull, and it was extremely crisp.

Lu Qing looked into the depths of the house in shock, thinking what's going on?

In the depths of the house, a cloud of smoke gradually rose, which made people extremely disturbed.

...

This mansion was built by the Gu family, and Jing Jiu's wonderful formation to attract the aura of heaven and earth by using the mountains and streams was written by Jing Jiu. The defensive formation was designed by Gu Qing himself. He has learned the Chengtian swordsmanship for so many years. Although it is not as good as Zhuo Rusui and Liu Shisui, the formation that took several years to construct is still extremely strong.

With the protection of the formation, the three-story wooden building deep in the courtyard did not... completely collapse.

Only half collapsed.

The formation gradually disappeared, and the smoke and dust gradually fell, revealing the scene between the scenes.

Jing Jiu stood in front of the collapsed wooden building, covered in sawdust, looking extremely embarrassed.

The most embarrassing place is on the face.

He has the most perfect face in the world. Even enemies and opponents have to admit that it is a real work of art and cannot bear to be hurt.

However, at this time, a very clear palm print appeared on his face, and the red mark was slowly fading away.

Obviously, he was slapped by Nan Wang.

The harsh kind.

...

Why don't you hide? Do you feel ashamed of me? Nan Wang said expressionlessly.

She is the closed disciple of Daoist Taiping and the true god enshrined by the Nanman tribe. She has amazing talent. Recently, she started to practice seriously, and it took only a few years to reach the peak of breaking the sea. She was tied with the master of Shuiyue Temple. If it was not because of love, why did she stay stagnant for so many years.

It's not that I'm ashamed of you, but you.

A boy appeared in front of Jing Jiu.

The boy liked to sit on the edge of the cliff, swinging those long legs.

Many years ago, the boy was still fat, but then he gradually lost weight.

The whole Qingshan knew why.

Then why don't you let him marry me?

Nan Wang remained expressionless, staring at Jing Jiu without blinking.

I don't know if it was because she stared for too long, or because of some other reason, the circles of her eyes slowly turned red.

Jing Jiu said: Liu Ci likes you, but you don't like him, how can you become a Taoist couple?

Nan Wang said loudly: I said at the time that I like him!

Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, You only want to marry him out of anger at me, of course I won't agree.

You don't marry me, and you don't allow me to marry, this is too overbearing!

Nan Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to hit him again.

Jing Jiu stood where he was, with no intention of hiding or raising the cat, but just looked at her quietly.

Maybe it's a bit unbearable, maybe it's thinking that the other party is the uncle after all?

Nan Wang's second slap failed to fall, and finally turned into a small fist, which landed on his chest.

There was a loud bang.

The wind howled, and all the remaining three-story wooden buildings collapsed, causing a lot of smoke and dust.

Outside the courtyard, Gu Qing, Zhuo Rusui, and Yuan Qu heard the thunder and felt the vibration coming from their feet, and were startled again.

They looked at Zhao Layue.

Zhao Layue closed her eyes and sat on the ground to practice, completely ignoring what happened in the courtyard.

...

The smoke and dust fell again, and a large pit about several feet deep appeared in front of the ruins of the wooden building.

Nan Wang cried and shouted: Only senior brother dotes on me, you still don't let me marry him, it's all right now! He's dead! You've become like this ghost again, but I'm still alone. Are you satisfied? How can you be so cruel?

Standing at the bottom of the pit, Jing Jiu was covered in mud, his white clothes were full of holes, and he looked extremely miserable.

Ah Da was not held up by him to resist, very satisfied.

But it didn't have the slightest sympathy for Jing Jiu, it just looked up at the crying Nan Wang, thinking how pitiful the little girl was.

Jing Jiu didn't speak, not because he was lazy or indifferent, but because he really didn't know what to say.

Long periods of silence.

All the tears and emotions on Nan Wang's face were blown away by the wind, leaving only a trace of sadness, and asked, Did you never like me?

Jing Jiu thought carefully for a while, and replied, Mountains, rivers, and everything in the universe, I like a lot, and of course you are also there.

Ah Da raised his head to look at him, thinking what is this for?

Pooh!

Nan Wang spat at the bottom of the pit and said, But I don't like you now, you look so ugly.

After saying this, she raised her arm and wiped away the tears that didn't exist on her face, then turned and left.

Jing Jiu stood at the bottom of the pit silently for a while, and asked, Is this face still ugly?

Ah Da sighed, and wanted to hear what you said about the mountains, rivers, and everything in the universe. I thought you had become a little normal, but it turned out to be the same as before.

How is this a matter of good looks?

No matter how pretty your face is, it's not Jingyang's original face.

It's just that since you said you like it, why did you treat her coldly for hundreds of years, because she likes to drink and sing when she drinks too much?

Hearing Ada's voice from his spiritual consciousness, Jing Jiu said, Since we will always part in the end, why should we be together at the beginning?

Ah Da was speechless again, thinking that this sentence and the previous sentence were too romantic, it really didn't seem like you could say it.

Jing Jiu didn't know what it was thinking, so he carried it back to the courtyard and said, It's not good to be greedy.

Ah Da thought to himself, who are you talking about? Ignore him, and go to a place to bask in the sun on the eaves to calm down.

It had swallowed Bai Rujing's flying sword at the top of Tianguang Peak in one gulp, even though it was reaching the sky to break through the sea boundary, there were still some hidden dangers.

That's what Jing Jiu meant when he said that gluttony is not good?

The clear sunlight fell on the courtyard, and the ruined three-story wooden building was particularly eye-catching, or rather dazzling.

He stood silently beside the ruins for a while, and waved his sleeves to send all the broken beams and rubble outside the courtyard.

...

The Gu family received the news and dispatched the most capable people as quickly as possible to start the cleanup work outside Yunji Town.

More than a dozen large formations with magic weapons kept transporting garbage, and it didn't take long for them to be cleaned up.

The third master who is in charge of the cleaning work is a high-ranking and influential person in the Gu family.

Seeing that the ground downstream of the stream became empty again, he finally felt relieved, and then began to think about what flowers and trees should be replanted.

He didn't know the real situation of this courtyard, he only knew that it was the confession of the person in the mountain, and the family must regard it as the most important thing to do.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

The Gu family was able to leap from a middle-class family a hundred years ago to one of the most powerful families in the world, not because of the old man's favorite Gu Han, but because of the concubine's young master Gu Qing.

More precisely, it was Gu Qing's master.

Could it be that something went wrong there?

Master Gu San was a little worried, and then felt that his worry was ridiculous.

That person is the head of Qingshan, what could happen?

...

Zhao Layue led the three people into the courtyard, saw the big pit at a glance, and then pretended not to see it tacitly.

Jing Jiu had already taken out the bamboo chair, and was lying under a rain canopy, looking quite relaxed.

Zhao Layue walked to the eaves and knelt down.

This is the first time she kneels him in front of others.

Lu Qing quickly knelt down, and Yuan Qu kowtowed heavily.

The master is the master, and the uncle is the uncle... But for the disciples of Qingshan, the name Jingyang is of course the most special.

It may be because of this reason that Zhuo Rusui also knelt very fast today, and he was sincere, without any falsehood.

Jing Jiu waved for them to get up, and asked Zhuo Rusui, Are you going to continue eating and drinking?

Zhuo Rusui's eyes were extremely innocent, and he said: You are the head of Qingshan and a disciple of Tianguang Peak. Even a drop of water should be shared fairly. Besides, you are the uncle of Master Jingyang. As the most outstanding disciple of the three generations, it is extremely appropriate for me to serve you.

Gu Qing knew that the master was impatient to listen to this, so Xiaoyi asked: Do you want to rearrange the order of the door?

Zhao Layue also had the same idea. She had always regarded herself as Jing Jiu's direct disciple, but she hadn't made it clear before, so she could only mix it up. Naturally, she couldn't continue now.

If they were to be rearranged, then all of Shenmo Peak's lineage would naturally be counted as Jing Jiu's disciples.

Zhao Layue is the first, Gu Qing is the second, Yuan Qu is the third, and the little guy who was forgotten in Yunxing Peak is the last.

Thinking of this possibility, Yuan Qu's complexion changed, and he said repeatedly: Isn't this inappropriate?

It is the dream of all practitioners to become the direct disciple of Master Jingyang. The problem is... Zhao Layue is his master, so what is it to suddenly become a senior sister?

At this time, there was a sudden movement outside the courtyard, and the formation was a warning. Gu Qing walked out, and brought another person in after a while.

Liu Shisui is here.

Zhuo Rusui let out a wow, feeling that the excitement was getting more and more exciting, and thought how should this be arranged?

However, Zhao Layue noticed that there was blood on the edge of Liu Shisui's sleeve, and asked, What's going on?

Liu Shisui said, I didn't have a token, so I was delayed when I left the mountain, and then... met someone from the Kunlun Sect.

Why do we have to fight when we meet people from the Kunlun faction?

Given his temperament, it was naturally because of Jing Jiu.

The yard became quieter.

Everyone was silent.

Leaving Qingshan, coming to Yunji Town not far away, and living in this yard, everything looks so smooth.

But there are many problems and even dangers, just ahead, waiting for them not far away.

Those problems and dangers are different from Nan Wang.

Zhuo Rusui suddenly asked: How do you know we are here?
