Chapter 59 Little Immortal Master
Chapter 59 Little Immortal Master
Everything goes quiet.
Li Wuxiang stood there, motionless, and immediately began to observe everything about himself through his internal energy.
The "bottom of the lake" that seemed to have only a few water droplets in his originally empty body was now overflowing with powerful force, almost filling him up... He felt that his solution to the Nine Palaces was almost complete!
This is……
Left behind by Zhao Kui. A firm thought rose from his mind. This was the power left by Zhao Kui, which contained the wishes and life span of the people in Jinshui Town.
With it came joy and satisfaction. Li Wuxiang had to work very hard to control his thoughts in order to sober up from this emotion. He was looking for Zhao Kui, not someone else. Was he dead? Or was he like last time?
No other thoughts came to mind this time, as if Waixie didn't want to answer this question.
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, and could only whisper: "Okay, thank you for your guarantee. I thought I would have to wait until I die and become a cocoon again--"
Ah, it should be like that. But because of everything that had just been done - consideration, planning, grappling, desperate fighting... Waixie liked these things, liked the cold light that suddenly appeared from the sea of corpses and blood.
Li Wuxiang sighed: "Okay, I can understand why others call you evil."
He had no other thoughts, and only when the joy and satisfaction receded like the tide did Li Wuxiang feel the pain.
It's not the pain in any specific part of the body, it's just pure pain, as if there is a branding iron pressing hard in the consciousness, making a sizzling sound and causing smoke to rise!
Only then did he realize that after Zhao Kui turned into black smoke, he rushed into the house and even pierced the roof in several places. Now the bright sunlight was pouring down and falling on the exposed golden coil.
He quickly took a few steps and hid in the corner of the house, picked up a piece of curtain on the ground and covered himself tightly, and began to practice Guang Chanzi's skills - he had temporarily dealt with Zhao Kui, but there was still a cultivator named Zeng Jianqiu in Jinshui Town!
He knew that he was no longer a human being, so in his eyes he must be an evil spirit, right?
In his previous life, he had experienced too many situations where they cooperated seamlessly on collaborative projects, but immediately after the projects ended, they would fight to the death.
As the surging spiritual energy washed over his body, Li Wuxiang could feel the skin on his body healing. At first, the speed was very fast, but when the cracks on his body remained, the healing speed began to slow down. He stopped to distract himself and thought about it for a while - Guang Chanzi's realm of "Jie Jiugong" is to refine the innate qi of the internal organs to the surface of the body. No matter where he came from or here, the innate qi is the most precious and fundamental thing for a person. Now this skin is refined in this way. I am afraid that Zhao Kui has shaken Jin Chanzi and damaged this skin too much, so this innate qi is difficult to be restored in a short time.
Then now——
He heard footsteps. At first there were two people, far away, then four or five, then eight or nine, a dozen, dozens... What was going on?
Because the footsteps did not appear from far away at the gate of Chen's courtyard, but seemed to come out continuously and suddenly!
Li Wuxiang stretched his hand out from outside the curtain and touched the big spear that Zhao Kui had dropped.
Then he heard Zeng Jianqiu's voice coming from the yard: "Hey, are you still alive?"
After a while: "Zhao Kui? Zhao Kui?"
Li Wuxiang remained silent, looking at the rear window a few steps away. Zeng Jianqiu's voice still sounded weak, and although his body surface had not yet healed, his spiritual power was actually surging inside, far more than before. However, at this time, he really didn't want to face an embarrassing situation, so...
But then he heard Xue Baoping's voice again, with a hint of tears, as if it was squeezed out from his chest and abdomen with great effort and care, and it was trembling slightly: "Li Wuxiang, Li Wuxiang?"
He was stunned and hesitated for a moment: "I'm here, still alive."
Xue Baoping let out a short cry of excitement and surprise, and then he heard other voices - it seemed that many people were at the gate of the courtyard, and because of his voice, they were a little agitated and spoke timidly. Then it was Zeng Jianqiu's voice: "My God, you are so lucky, that Zhao Kui -"
Li Wuxiang stood up with a curtain over his head, and quickly looked outside along the wall - Zeng Jianqiu and Xue Baoping were in the yard, and outside the yard were all the townspeople of Jinshui. The tentacles in his body had withered just now, and they had not yet grown back, so he could not see clearly, but he could vaguely see that most of them had gray hair and their expressions were mostly panic, which was the expression of a person who had survived a disaster but was still uneasy.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhao Kui is not here anymore. I think he got rid of him."
People were silent for a while, as if they didn't quite understand. Then Chen Xin's voice was heard: "Little Immortal Master said that Zhao Qi was eliminated by him, and the evil spirits were also eliminated by him! Jinshui is peaceful now!"
The wind-like panting sound swept through the crowd at this time, and the original timid and low voices suddenly burst out. Howling, cheering, and praying were intertwined. Then the crowd fell down like wheat waves blown by the wind, and kowtowed in the direction of the Chen family's yard. Many of them were still chanting for the Kitchen God's blessing.
Chen Xin hurriedly shouted loudly: "No, no, hey, don't worship the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God here has been replaced by that evil man Zhao Qi. If you want to worship, then worship the Little Immortal Master... Immortal Master Li!"
The crowd suddenly changed their words, and in that instant, Li Wuxiang felt a subtle sense of satisfaction and joy spread throughout his body, but it was not as grand as the external evil, but more like warm water or spring breeze, blowing through every corner of his body. His skin tightened, and the cracks that were originally unable to heal quickly shrank, and in an instant, it was smooth as before.
Is this...the power of vows?
Xue Baoping rushed in, holding two broken bricks in his hands, and stopped suddenly in front of Li Wuxiang. Li Wuxiang smiled and opened his arms. She immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. Li Wuxiang patted her on the back and said, "You said I'm a god, so evil spirits are nothing."
As he spoke, he looked at Zeng Jianqiu - he was now a tall, skinny man, standing in the yard with a gun in his hand, which looked like it was really used for support. There was a slightly relieved smile on his face, but Li Wuxiang felt that there was still some vigilance under that smile, as if he was wondering whether the body in this body was another person.
Li Wuxiang smiled at him as well: "What did you do over there? Zhao Kui's incense and wish power suddenly stopped."
Zeng Jianqiu raised his finger and pointed at Xue Baoping: "This girl has hidden a treasure."
Li Wuxiang lowered his head. Xue Baoping stepped back, but his face was filled with joy without any shyness. He held the two broken bricks in front of him: "Zhao, Zhao, Zhao Qi, no no no no..."
"Take your time. There's no rush."
Xue Baoping took a deep breath: "Zhao Qi, didn't you give me a talisman? I used that talisman before, and I ended up in here, in the brick where you were imprisoned before! I heard Zeng Jianqiu say that you were fighting with Zhao Kui, so I came out. Then we found that if I held the talisman and pulled people, others could also go in. I wanted to pull people back one by one, but he said that we should gather people together and get them in at once, so we--" Li Wuxiang understood. While he was fighting with Zhao Kui, they were also helping in another way. They put all the people in the town into that brick, so Zhao Kui's incense and wishes were suddenly cut off. Zeng Jianqiu's method was indeed very good, otherwise if Zhao Kui gradually felt that something was wrong, he might not have taken it lightly... I really don't know how much effort they put in to gather the people in the town, and it was also thanks to the fact that I had been entangled with him for a long time before.
He looked at the two pieces of broken bricks carefully - he originally thought that the bricks were ordinary objects in the past, and were refined by Zhao Kui with extraordinary means. From this perspective, this thing seemed to be a treasure in itself.
Xue Baoping handed him the brick. Li Wuxiang shook his head and said, "You are amazing. You saved my life again. You can keep it."
Then he walked out of the door and into the courtyard. When the people at the door saw him, they fell silent. He saw Chen Xin clearly—he looked to be in his sixties, and looked much older.
But it wasn't just his appearance that had changed. When he first met him, he was amiable, but he was full of energy and vigor, a kind of easygoing attitude that comes from being confident and feeling that everything is under control. At this moment, he was still calling for everyone to shut up as the town lord, but Li Wuxiang could see that his momentum was not strong enough, which reminded him of a former boss - he knew that he would be deprived of everything because of his mistakes, and he was like this in the last few days, like an old and sick wolf.
He stopped in the yard and looked away from Chen Xin's eyes: "Just now there was an evil spirit in the town, brought in by a demon. This demon is Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi is..."
He glanced at the shriveled, dusty corpse on the ground, which now looked like a deflated bag. "He has done evil in other places, you can go and ask around. When he first came to Jinshui, he wanted to do what he is going to do today, but your town master held him back until this hero Zeng tracked him down. Only then were we able to subdue him. Don't worship me, you should thank your town master."
Chen Xin was stunned, his mouth slightly opened and his eyes widened. Li Wuxiang just smiled at him and he was drowned in the crowd.
He gently pressed Xue Baoping's shoulder again and said, "Keep the thing and the talisman safe. Don't give them to anyone who wants to see them in the future."
Then he tilted his head towards Zeng Jianqiu and said, "Let's go and talk about something."
The two men walked out from the back door, Zeng Jianqiu leaned on the gun barrel and stood three steps away from him. Li Wuxiang didn't say anything, and led him to the bamboo forest where Zhao Qi asked him to kill Chen Sanyao last night before he stopped.
He turned around and saw Zeng Jianqiu with a solemn expression on his face. He was leaning on his gun with his left hand, and his right hand was hanging down with his sleeve covering his hand.
He frowned, "You're not going to shoot me with the sword?"
Zeng Jianqiu shook his head: "You have the golden entanglement on you, so my sword can't do anything to you. I'm wondering what you're going to do."
Li Wuxiang raised his left hand and slowly walked towards him: "Take my pulse and see if there is anything wrong with me."
Zeng Jianqiu was stunned. Li Wuxiang had already extended his hand to him. "Do you think I am an evil spirit? I guess so, but I don't want to. I was also a human being. This matter started with that brick. Did Xue Baoping tell you?"
Zeng Jianqiu stared at him for a long while, put his fingers on his wrist, and smiled: "No. Your little girl is very tight-lipped."
"Then just listen to me." Li Wuxiang spoke, hiding the external evil, and told all the past events with Zhao Kui, "After you cut off his incense and vows, he rushed into my body and wanted to snatch the golden entanglement from me. But I used to have a skill that was specifically for exorcising evil spirits, and it could only exorcise evil spirits, so I drove him out. The last scene was probably black smoke spraying out of my body, and I couldn't feel him. I looked inside myself for a long time, and didn't feel anything was wrong. But I'm worried - I've heard a similar story, where a man designed to kill his master, but his master was not dead yet, hiding in his body, and also said that he became an immortal. This is what I'm worried about. Can you see it?"
Zeng Jianqiu's face had become extremely serious when he heard him talk about these things. After Li Wuxiang finished speaking, he pressed his fingers hard on his wrist, closed his eyes and felt for a long time, then frowned and thought for a while: "I can't feel it. But if you say so... This matter is more difficult than I thought."
"How to say?"
"Let me think about it..." Zeng Jianqiu leaned on his gun, slowly sat down on the ground, and let out a long breath, "I won't ask who you are, but from what you said, you don't understand cultivation very well, right?"
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Except for a little bit about the power structure of the world, I know nothing about it."
"Okay, there are so many sects in the world, but there are actually two main methods of cultivation. The early stages are all similar, first building the foundation, replenishing the upper body leaks, and preserving the innate Qi, and then refining the Qi, refining the Qi that is preserved. After that, the differences are huge. The thirty-six sects and our swordsman Taiyi sect first form the refined Qi into a pill, and then nurture the pill and refine it into a Nascent Soul. After the Nascent Soul is formed, the Yang God will emerge, and at this time it is said to be immortal and indestructible, and is a land immortal."
"After building their foundation, the six sects of Xuan Sect will refine their spirits, refining all the gods in the body's Niwan and hundreds of joints into their souls and spirits. After that, they will return to the void. When they reach the void, they will continue to refine their souls and spirits, and finally merge their souls and spirits into the original innate Qi. This is the integration of the Tao. After they merge with the Tao, they will ascend to the wonderful realm of their ancestors."
"There are also unorthodox ways to become immortals. The most famous of these unorthodox ways is the Taiyin Refining Body Technique - practitioners fake their own death to avoid death. But if you do this, you will only become a ghost immortal, a kind of Yin ghost, which is not in the mainstream and is afraid of sunlight. I guess he was unwilling to do this... That might be the Taiyi Refining Body Technique he was thinking of."
"I don't really understand this, but you've seen it. He set up a small court in the stove, the emperor. Zhao Qi also set up a Taoist temple in Jinshui and asked people to worship the Kitchen God. In fact, it's the same thing. If your heart is sincere enough and your will is strong enough, you can attract the breath of the spirit god. It's not the spirit god himself, but it's enough. So he will first gather Taiyi's spiritual energy from you, the emperor, and then ask you to use Guangchanzi to refine yourself into a skin. He will then hide his soul in Jinchanzi and take over your skin. In this way, it still looks like a ghost fairy, but because the skin has Taiyi's noble aura, it is not considered a Yin ghost."
Zeng Jianqiu shook his head: "He is indeed a smart man, and he has good luck. If Guang Chanzi and Jin Chanzi are missing one, this thing cannot be done. But I don't understand why he did this. I don't think he is young and his life is about to end. Why take such a big risk? Why not wait for a few decades?"
Li Wuxiang threw a bamboo stick at him: "Brother, this is off topic. You said this matter is difficult to handle, but what is difficult about it?"
Zeng Jianqiu sighed: "What I mean by difficult is that I'm afraid he won't die."
Two chapters are combined into one. It has been 34 days since the book was published, and the total update is 16.33 words. The average daily update is more than 4800 words. Although it is not a lot, it is definitely not less than 4000 words a day.
Some friends think that my two-in-one is less than 4000 words. This is actually because of my paragraphing. I don’t divide it into paragraphs of one or two sentences. I divide it according to the normal writing paragraph structure. In fact, it is more scattered than the normal paragraphing. I can’t divide it into paragraphs anymore. If I divide it into paragraphs again, it will become a long prose poem, and I will feel uncomfortable writing it myself.
Then, the book will be available on the 21st. Can you turn on the automatic subscription in advance? This way, if you have any questions when the book is available, you can still subscribe automatically. The first order is also very important. It is almost related to whether the book can be written smoothly in the later stage. Because of your support, the performance of this book is the best since I started working in this industry. It is far better than I expected. Please help me. To be honest, I am now looking at land to build a villa park for everyone. Basically everything is ready. I can start work after I fall asleep tonight.
