Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2231 Bad News

in the cave.

The light and shadow twisted, and three figures walked out from the void. They were Qin Sang and his two companions.

"We left all those golden eagles behind..."

Qinghong glanced outside, carefully put down Miss Shuang in his arms, turned to look at Qin Sang with a surprised tone.

"Those poison pills were made by Junior Brother?"

After their whereabouts were exposed, Qin Sang judged that more golden eagles might be attracted and the two women would find it difficult to match them, so he used poison pills to set up a poison array in the river in advance.

The space for mustard seed magic tools in this era was limited, so Master Tongshen stored many of his spiritual medicines in the treasure house in the mountains. When Qin Sang took the medicine, he stole some higher-grade spiritual medicines and refined poison pills to prepare for a rainy day.

Poison and formations are both means of killing enemies across levels. The poison formation set up by Qin Sang is naturally more sophisticated, and Qinghong didn't even realize the existence of the poison formation.

The river water turned into poison, and the golden eagle leader was poisoned to death on the spot. As expected, the other golden eagles were terrified and dared not enter the bottom of the river. Qin Sang and the other two took the opportunity to escape far away.

Qin Sang thought it was just luck, as he accidentally made a poison pill while refining the elixir. He didn't expect the poison to be so horribly toxic that it could even kill the Golden Eagle leader who was close to the transformation realm.

Qing Hong said with emotion: "No wonder Master praised you so much, Junior Brother is indeed a genius! We thought we were all going to die here, but we didn't expect that it was Junior Brother who saved us from danger. Senior Sister and Miss Shuang both owe you a favor."

"Thank you, Brother Qingfeng," said Miss Shuang, who was seriously injured and had just taken a healing pill. Her voice sounded soft and weak.

Qing Hong pretended to be dissatisfied: "I saved Sister Shuang from the evil enemy. Sister Shuang, why don't you thank me first?"

Miss Shuang blushed slightly, "Thank you, Sister Qinghong."

Qing Hong didn't let her go, "It's not easy to repay the favor of saving my life! I'm his senior sister, it's only natural for him to save me. Sister Shuang is in trouble, is it really like in the storybooks, that you will pledge yourself to your junior brother?"

Miss Frost had never been teased like this before. Her pretty face turned red, like the sky dyed red by the sunset. She lowered her head in a hurry, almost burying her head in her arms.

Qing Hong also knew that he had gone too far, so he raised his hand and pinched Qin Sang's white and tender arm, saying with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Sister Shuang, my junior brother is still a child, he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, and he won't force you."

Qin Sang shook her head and slapped Qing Hong's hand away. "Sister, stop joking. We are not safe yet. If the elders of the Golden Eagles come after us, my poison pills won't be able to kill them."

"A dull head, ignorant of romance!"

Qing Hong glanced at him and said, "Sister Shuang's injury should have stabilized. Let's continue on our journey."

"Ah."

Miss Frost responded softly.

The three of them flew out of the cave. Miss Shuang still kept her head down, not daring to look at Qin Sang, which made Qinghong laugh secretly.

Next, they followed the geomancy map drawn by Senior Brother Qingyan and searched for the answer.

Maybe they were lucky and did not encounter any pursuers on the way. They traveled day and night and finally found the hiding place.

The precious place chosen by Senior Brother Qingyan is well-suited for both wind and water, hidden among the jungle, and surrounded by towering mountains and lush greenery. The scenery is not much worse than that of Yuanjing Mountain.

'Ugh! Uh-huh! '

After the light of escape landed, Qing Hong looked around and was very satisfied. He praised: "Brother, you have good vision!"

She sensed that there was a spiritual formation here, which was taught by her master, and she thought it must have been set up by her senior brother.

The cloud sleeves waved, and the water in front of her shimmered like a mirror, first reflecting the figures of the three people, and then the light and shadows broke, and a forest appeared before them.

At the beginning, Qing Yan received the order from his master and went out to look for Beppu, but he did not expect to use it so soon. It has not been carefully decorated yet and still retains its original appearance.

This did not pose a problem for Qinghong and his team. They used some magic to move rocks and logs, and after some carving, they quickly built several pavilions.

"We need to build a ancestral hall and a quiet room for Master on the top of the mountain... Well, we may also need to build a quiet room for Senior Lu! The four of us will be at the bottom, and then there will be guest rooms and a reception pavilion. Master and Senior Lu both like to drink, so we need to build a wine cellar. Junior brother's alchemy skills are so amazing, we must build him a good furnace, let's build it in the back mountain..."

Qinghong became busy, investigating the terrain, surveying the spiritual veins, planning the layout of the mountain gate, and muttering to himself.

Qin Sang and Miss Shuang had no chance to say anything and just watched from the side.

"Master hasn't arrived yet. Perhaps we won't stay here too long. It will be a waste of effort. Senior Sister, why don't you open up a few quiet rooms for Miss Shuang to heal her wounds."

Qin Sang looked at Miss Shuang beside him.

Ever since leaving the cave, Miss Frost has been avoiding his sight intentionally or unintentionally. At this moment, she deliberately turned her head away and stared at the foot of the mountain, not knowing what was interesting there.

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Sang noticed that Miss Shuang's ears were flushed.

This girl is already quite grown up, and she looks cold and aloof, but I didn't expect her to be so shy. Qinghong was just joking before.

Qin Sang smiled secretly in his heart, stretched himself and took a deep breath.

The fresh scent of grass and trees mixed with two faint virgin fragrances lingered in the nose.

With the master paving the way for his cultivation, he has no shortage of external things. The wind and rain are all blocked out by his master. He only needs to concentrate on his cultivation and occasionally play with the little girl. The atmosphere of the master is really good. It is something he did not enjoy when he was in Shaohua Mountain. Now that the young man's heart is gone, he has also lost that state of mind.

Unfortunately, he couldn't enjoy himself in peace, whether in reality or fantasy.

"How do you know Master won't stay here for long?"

Qing Hong was very dissatisfied when Qin Sang interrupted his train of thought, and retorted, "I underestimated you. You are a little smart kid, and you are very caring!"

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it seriously. Miss Frost's ears turned red instantly.

Qing Hong looked at the two men suspiciously, snorted, and casually built a few quiet rooms.

The three of them entered their respective quiet rooms to practice and wait for their master.

A few days later, Qin Sang woke up from his meditation and realized that the spiritual formation in the mountain had been triggered. He rushed out of the quiet room and saw his master and senior brother flying in from outside the mountain, followed by several beams of light.

"Master!"

Qin Sang and Qing Hong went forward and saw that their master and senior brothers all looked exhausted, and most of the people behind them were the same.

Master Tongshen nodded slightly, turned around and said, "The place in the mountains is simple, and the hospitality is not good enough, please don't blame me. Fellow Taoists can choose a good place, open a cave by yourself, and recover as soon as possible."

"Your Excellency's words are too kind!"

"Thank you!"

"I'll be polite..."

……

Everyone bowed repeatedly and dispersed into the mountain, each of them opening a cave, leaving only a white-haired old man.

"Please come in, Brother Zhou!"

Master Tongshen extended his hand and said to Qinghong, "Let's talk downstairs."

Fortunately, Qinghong had built a hall in advance, and everyone filed in. They heard Master Tongshen say, "This place is too close to Lingkong Mountain, so we can't stay here for long! After three days, when you Taoist friends have recovered, we will set off for Yongtu Immortal City."

Qing Hong asked: "Master, where is Yongtu Fairy City? Why didn't Senior Lu come back with Master?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, he..."

Master Tongshen's expression turned gloomy, and he walked up to Miss Shuang and said, "Shuangluo, this is what your uncle left for you."

As he spoke, he took out a crystal clear ring.

Qin Sang's eyes flashed. He had seen this ring before. It was once worn on Mr. Lu's hand. It was his mustard seed magic weapon.

Miss Frost had already realized something. Her delicate body trembled in disbelief, and she did not dare to reach out to take it.

"Fellow Daoist Lu was the first to discover some clues about the Golden Eagle Clan and warned us in time, so we were able to avoid this disaster. However, Fellow Daoist Lu unfortunately died at the hands of a powerful member of the Golden Eagle Clan while trying to find out the news. Before leaving, Fellow Daoist Lu might have had a premonition and gave this ring to me, saying that if anything happened to him, he would pass it on to you..."

Master Tongshen sighed and gently placed the ring into Miss Shuang's hand. "I have known Daoist Brother Lu for hundreds of years. You are his only successor, and I will take care of you. You will stay with me to practice, and Qingyan and the others will be your fellow apprentices. I will treat you the same way I treated Qingyan and the others, and Daoist Brother Lu's spirit in heaven will always bless you."

The old man surnamed Zhou echoed, "Miss Shuangluo, please accept my condolences! We also want to thank Daoist Brother Lu for his kindness. If Miss Shuangluo encounters any difficulties in the future, just let me know, and I will do my best to help her!"

Shuangluo clutched the ring tightly. She did not cry loudly like ordinary people, but just shed two lines of tears. However, she was able to make people feel her great sorrow. Without saying a word, she suddenly turned around and ran out of the hall.

"Sister Shuang has such a miserable life!"

Qinghong also shed tears.

Miss Shuang had lost her master before, and she didn’t expect that her uncle-master would also leave her now.

Qing Hong wiped away tears in distress, but seeing Qin Sang standing beside him with an indifferent look, he kicked him angrily, "You idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase him!"

Master Tongshen turned his gaze and looked over, saying, "You three go out first and take good care of Shuangluo. I have something important to discuss with Fellow Daoist Zhou."

"As ordered!"

Qin Sang and the other two left the hall.

Qingyan is injured and needs to retreat to heal.

Qin Sang and Qing Hong soon found Miss Shuang on a cliff. She was sitting on the edge of the cliff with her knees hugged, staring blankly at the east. One step forward would be a bottomless abyss.

"Sister Shuang, don't let your mind wander!"

Qinghong was shocked and rushed forward to hug Miss Shuang.

"Although Senior Lu is gone, we still have Master and us. We will be sisters from now on..."

"Senior Lu would definitely not want to see you so depressed."

"You must cheer up, take good care of yourself, and inherit Senior Lu's teachings, so that you can comfort Senior Lu's spirit in heaven..."

Qinghong tried to comfort her, saying everything, but Miss Shuang didn't respond. When she was thirsty, she looked up and saw Qin Sang leaning against a tree with his arms folded across his chest, as if he was watching a play. She couldn't help but get angry, "Are you dumb? Can't you say a word?"

"Miss Shuang, this is not the first time you have experienced this. Do you still need others to comfort you? If you can't get over it, you might as well turn your grief and anger into strength, practice hard, and one day avenge your master and uncle," Qin Sang said lightly.

"you……"

Qinghong gritted his teeth and wanted to kick Qin Sang, but unexpectedly, Miss Shuang suddenly raised her head, and a light flashed in her lifeless eyes.

She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Sang, "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Taoist."

"Do you really understand? Revenge must be taken, but don't be blinded by hatred," Qing Hong became even more worried.

"From what Master has said, you should call me Junior Brother," Qin Sang said.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Miss Shuang smiled, as if she had resolved the sadness in her heart, and then said calmly, "Senior Sister, Junior Brother, I am going to practice."

Having said that, she turned and flew towards the quiet room.

Qinghong wanted to follow, but Qin Sang stopped him.

"Will this method work? Will my junior sister go astray?" Qing Hong whispered.

"Time will dilute everything," Qin Sang said.

"Alas, junior sister's relatives are gone. We must treat her well in the future. So should you, junior brother!" Qinghong sighed softly and gave orders to Qin Sang.

Before she finished speaking, she bowed hurriedly and said, "Greetings, Master."

"What were you talking about just now?" Master Tongshen appeared and looked at his two disciples.

"Ah! Nothing!"

Qing Hong pointed to the quiet room and said, "I'll go look after my junior sister."

"Go ahead," Master Tongshen shook his head and said to Qin Sang, "Qingfeng, accompany me for a walk in the mountains."

"Yes!"

Qin Sang followed Master Tongshen and walked up the cliff.

There was originally no road in the mountains. But where Master Tongshen passed, the grass and trees automatically separated, and the rocks were cut into neat slabs of stone and spread on the ground, forming a smooth mountain path.

The master and the disciple walked in silence all the way to the top of the mountain. Master Tongshen stood on a flying stone, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the west, silent.

They just stood there until the sun set, the moon rose, and stars appeared in the sky.

Master Tongshen looked up at the sky and stared at the sea of ​​stars for a long time. He turned around and saw that Qin Sang was not impatient at all. He said with relief: "Your senior brother and sister are not as strong as you."

Qin Sang had no self-satisfaction on his face, and asked: "Master, is there something on your mind?"

"Oh?"

Master Tongshen was surprised, "Can you tell that my master is worried?"

Qin Sang was helpless, "My disciple is inexperienced, but I am not stupid."

Master Tongshen laughed loudly, "If that's the case, then tell me, what's on your mind?"

Qin Sang pretended to be silent, "I guess Master may have two things on his mind."

"First, we have to move to Yongtu Fairy City and leave our hometown. As the saying goes, people are despised when they leave their hometown. I don't know whether the Taoists in Yongtu Fairy City will accept us, whether the people we meet in the future will be enemies or friends, and how those monsters will deal with us humans. The future is uncertain, so Master is worried. He is worried for us and for the future of the human race."

Master Tongshen nodded slightly, "What about the second one?"

"Secondly, Master once said that he entered the mortal world to train because he had reached a bottleneck in his practice, so he disguised himself as a beggar and came down to earth to look for opportunities. I couldn't understand it at the time, but now I understand."

Qin Sang seemed to be worried about his master at this moment. "In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. If Master can break through, he can solve the current problem. However, Master returned to the mountain ahead of time for the sake of his disciple, without waiting for an opportunity. Now a big change has happened. I am afraid that Master will hardly have the opportunity to come down to earth again in the future, so Master is also worried about his own path." (End of this chapter)
