Seeking Immortality

Hearing Immortal Zizhen's words, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but be startled, his heart was racing, and he was busy thinking of countermeasures.

"How did Immortal Zizhen know that I am a Jiuhua monk? Although I am indeed a Jiuhua monk, due to a coincidence, I have never practiced Jiuhua's skills systematically? If he has confirmed my identity, everything It’s easy to say, but if it’s just a suspicion, should I admit it?”

"Also, if this Zizhen Immortal has really confirmed the identity of my Jiuhua sect, what will he think? Let's not talk about the fact that I deceived him before. As a monk of Jiuhua, this time But I came to take care of the Qingxu Sect and learned so many secrets. Although I did help Immortal Zizhen get out of trouble, he also violated the taboos in the world of immortality. Even though Immortal Zizhen is grateful to me, I am still grateful. But it’s also mixed with a lot of worries, right?”

While Xu Qingfan was thinking secretly, the original solemnity on Zizhen Immortal's face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and said: "You are indeed a disciple of Jiuhua Sect, otherwise you should deny it immediately."

Hearing what Immortal Zizhen said, a wry smile flashed across Xu Qingfan's face. Although Immortal Zizhen was defeated one after another in front of Liu Ziqing, Xu Qingfan still had too little experience compared to him. After just a moment of hesitation, he was He saw the flaw.

Now that Immortal Zizhen had seen through it, Xu Qingfan simply stopped hiding it, bowed to Immortal Zizhen again, bowed and said, "Junior Jiuhua Xu Qingfan, pay my respects to senior."

After a pause, Xu Qingfan continued: "Senior also knows what happened at Qingxu Sect before. In addition, Jiuhua is currently in the period of mountain closure, so I have no choice but to hide my identity and ask for your forgiveness. As for Xu Fan, it is true. It’s this junior’s real name, but it’s just the name he had before he became an immortal.”

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zizhen Immortal's face remained calm, and he just said lightly: "Xu Fan, Xu Qingfan, I didn't expect that there would be someone like you among the Qing generation disciples of Jiuhua Mountain. That guy Liu Huaxiang found a good one." successor."

Hearing what Immortal Zizhen said, Xu Qingfan felt happy. Knowing that Immortal Zizhen did not mind his participation in the "Qingxu Sect" as a member of the Jiuhua Sect.

But just when Xu Qingfan was relaxing a little, he heard Immortal Zizhen suddenly and casually ask: "By the way, did you also hear the conversation I had with Junior Brother Xuanzhen a month ago?"

Xuanzhen Immortal is Liu Ziqing’s other identity.

I heard Immortal Zizhen’s question. Xu Qingfan was even more frightened than when his identity was exposed just now. You must know that the conversation between Liu Ziqing and Immortal Zizhen that night involved many unknown secrets? Many secrets were of great significance to Qingxu. In order to conceal them, Xu Qingfan did not doubt the possibility of Immortal Zizhen detaining him.

He was about to deny it, but he was stunned, and suddenly realized that there was a trap in Immortal Zizhen's words. If Xu Qingfan really didn't hear that conversation. You shouldn't know the true identity of Xuanzhen Immortal, so you can never tell him otherwise. Immortal Zizhen suddenly exposed Xu Qingfan's identity just now. I think it was more to shock Xu Qingfan's mind, so that Xu Qingfan could answer hastily without thinking too much at this time, right?

I thought a lot in my mind for a moment, but Xu Qingfan raised his head and asked blankly: "Senior Zizhen. Do you mean Senior Xuanzhen? Hasn't he disappeared long ago?"

However, Immortal Zizhen stared closely into Xu Qingfan's eyes. After seeing that Xu Qingfan's eyes did not twinkle, he sighed slightly and said, "You heard it."

After a pause. Immortal Zizhen said in a more affirmative tone: "You heard it."

Saying that, Immortal Zizhen said to himself without waiting for Xu Qingfan's explanation: "As far as I know, when you came to Qingxumen a month ago, you stayed for a total of three days and two nights. Among them, you took the star on the second night. The Death Soul Orb was thrown into the giant tree where I was imprisoned, which means that you were exploring my location on the first night, and that night was when Junior Brother Xuanzhen was talking to me. I showed up twice to talk to him. I think you were not just talking, but also to cover the return of your dark crow, right? In other words, this was the time for you to explore my location and also talk to Xuan. The time for the real junior brother to find me is consistent.”

After finishing speaking, Immortal Zizhen stared at Xu Qingfan closely, his sharp eyes seeming to pierce Xu Qingfan's soul.

Hearing Immortal Zizhen's analysis, Xu Qingfan was in a state of shock, but his face still showed a look of surprise and confusion, and he said: "The junior did ask the spirit beast Xiao Hei to look for traces of the senior, and it was indeed that day. I found traces of senior at night, but I didn’t see senior Xuanzhen, and I don’t know what senior Xuanzhen said to him.”

Xu Qingfan knew that there were some things that he could never admit. Even if Xu Qingfan was kind to Immortal Zizhen, when faced with the choice, Xu Qingfan could not guarantee what Immortal Zizhen would do. After all, those secrets were too important. At least if it is revealed, Zhang Xusheng and "Ming" will never let "Qingxu Sect" go.

Hearing that Xu Qingfan refused to admit it no matter what, Immortal Zizhen sighed slightly and said slowly: "I know what you are thinking, and I did think so, but I gave up in the end. However, I don't care if you have or not. What you have heard, and how much you have heard, some things must be buried deep in your heart forever, do you understand?”

Hearing these words from Immortal Zizhen, Xu Qingfan let out a sigh of relief, knowing what Immortal Zizhen meant. He would not pursue the matter further, but Xu Qingfan had to keep it a secret.

But even so, the confused look on Xu Qingfan's face did not change at all. He just bowed helplessly to Immortal Zizhen and said: "Junior promises to senior that I will never say more about Qingxu. Heaven and earth are my witnesses. ”

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, Immortal Zizhen's expression relaxed slightly. Then, the original solemnity on Zizhen Immortal's face suddenly disappeared, and he became amiable almost instantly. Xu Qingfan couldn't react even when he looked at it.

But Immortal Zizhen said with a smile: "Now that the official business is over, let's talk about private matters. Can you take Liu Huaxiang's letter with you?"

Hearing what Immortal Zizhen said, Xu Qingfan recovered from his surprise. No longer thinking about the sudden change in Immortal Zizhen's attitude, he hurriedly took out Liu Huaxiang's letter from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands respectfully.

Immortal Zizhen made a slight move with his right hand, and the letter in Xu Qingfan's hand flew steadily towards Immortal Zizhen's hand, and flew into Immortal Zizhen's hand in the blink of an eye.

However, Xu Qingfan saw Immortal Zizhen start to read the letter carefully after opening it, but he didn't know what was written in the letter. Xu Qingfan only saw Immortal Zizhen's body trembled slightly when he just started reading the letter. Then his expression became extremely solemn, and his eyes seemed to be happy and worried.

After a long time, Immortal Zizhen slowly put the letter into his arms and said to Xu Qingfan with a smile: "I know about this. By the way, how is Liu Huaxiang doing now? But he still wants to guard a lot of flowers and plants like before. put?"

Xu Qingfan's face showed a sad look. He said in a seductive voice: "Uncle Liu passed away more than thirty years ago."

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, Immortal Zizhen's body trembled slightly again, and after a long time he sighed slightly: "It's such a pity."

Then, Immortal Zizhen chatted with Xu Qingfan about some trivial matters in the world of immortality, and learned from Xu Qingfan some of the current situation of Jiuhuamen and Liu Huaxiang during his lifetime. During this period, his face was full of kind smiles, completely different from when he asked Xu Qingfan just now. The difference made Xu Qingfan almost suspect that this famous Zizhen Immortal had a two-sided personality.

After a long time. Immortal Zizhen suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Xu, did Xuan Lingzi give you a Qingxu Token before?"

Xu Qingfan nodded in agreement.

Immortal Zizhen smiled and said, "My little friend, can you bring it to me for a look?"

Xu Qingfan hurriedly took out the Qingxu Token from his sleeve and handed it to Immortal Zizhen respectfully with both hands.

After the token slowly flew into Immortal Zizhen's hand, a green flame suddenly appeared in Immortal Zizhen's hand, surrounding the token and burning continuously. In Xu Qingfan's surprised eyes. The token was slowly changing in size under the burning of the green flames. When the green flames were put away, the token had changed into something else.

Immortal Zizhen nodded with satisfaction and made a slight move with his right hand. The token was returned to Xu Qingfan's hand. When Xu Qingfan took a closer look, he saw that the token was smaller and more delicate than what he had obtained before. It was engraved with many patterns that Xu Qingfan could not understand.

"Senior, is this...?"

Xu Qingfan asked doubtfully.

Immortal Zizhen said with a smile: "This is the proof of the honorary elder of Qingxu. As long as you have it, your rights in Qingxu will be the same as all the elders of Qingxu in the future." "What?" Xu Qingfan was shocked. He hurriedly declined and said: "Senior. This junior cannot afford it."

Immortal Zizhen shook his hand and said: "I am not giving this token to you. It is to Xu Fan, a loose cultivator in the Southern Wilderness. Do you understand?"

With a change of heart, Xu Qingfan understood the meaning of Immortal Zizhen. Xu Qingfan could be said to have saved the "Qingxu Sect" in a certain respect this time, and the "Qingxu Sect" must give something in return, and Grant The position of the honorary elder of Qingxu is the most appropriate, but the person who saved the Qingxu lineage was Xu Fan, a loose cultivator in the Southern Wilderness, not Xu Qingfan of the Jiuhua Sect. Otherwise, the Qingxu lineage would have been saved by a Jiuhua disciple, and Letting this Jiuhua disciple take the position of elder will make people laugh.

Qingxu Sect can be saved by an unknown casual cultivator, but it can never be saved by Jiuhua Sect disciples who are also in the Holy Land. This principle sounds weird, but it is true, because if this happens, it means that Jiuhua will Qingxu will always be under pressure, and Qingxu owes Jiuhua a favor that will never be repaid.

After knowing Immortal Zizhen's thoughts, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that he had to agree at this time, because this was not only Immortal Zizhen's gratitude to him, but also his guarantee to Immortal Zizhen that he would not tell the truth. Tell anyone at Jiuhua Clan about the matter.

Seeing Immortal Zizhen looking at him, Xu Qingfan finally put away the token and bowed to express his gratitude to Immortal Zizhen. After all, having this token in the future would be much more beneficial to him personally. , you can even receive an extra point of worship here at Qingxu Gate.

But Immortal Zizhen smiled and shook his head, saying: "Anyway, you helped me get out of trouble this time. I should do this. You don't need to thank me."

As he spoke, Immortal Zizhen hesitated for a moment, then waved his right hand slightly, and saw a jade box suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qingfan, saying: "This pill has no effect on me, but it will have no effect on you now." It’s still helpful, so I’ll give it to you.”

Hearing what Immortal Zizhen said, Xu Qingfan took the jade box with both hands. After seeing the words engraved on the jade box, he exclaimed in shock: "Ascension Pill?"

Zizhen Immortal nodded slightly, smiled and said: "Eight hundred years ago, I was indebted to Yaowang Valley, and their valley master gave me this Ascension Pill as a reward, but this Ascension Pill has no effect on me, and there is no suitable junior to give it to me. Seeing that you are now in the late stage of Xudan, this Ascension Pill is just useful to you, so I will give it to you."

ps: Today is the second update. I just got the news that it seems that VIP will be recommended next week. Well, since Sanjiang was recommended, Chongzi has not been recommended on the page for nearly half a year. But I was quite panicked and surprised to be recommended next week. I looked at the works that were recommended by VIP in history. Chongzi found that "Xiandao" seems to have the least recommended votes, the lowest subscriptions, and the least famous. Well, in fact, VIP recommendation seems to have always been the patent of great gods, and Chongzi is now at most at the level of a small fairy.

Chongzi has told everyone before how he feels when he is recommended. He is happy and worried. He is happy that there will be more readers with the recommendation, and he is worried that reasonable and unreasonable abuse, sarcasm, etc. will also appear in the comment area. More importantly, the click-through rate of Chongzishu will further collapse. There are more and more clicks, but the recommendation votes always seem to be the same.
