Seeking Immortality

"What message? What is it?"

Xu Qingfan frowned and asked. ~~~~-After the questioning just now, Xu Qingfan already knew it. But when he heard that Zhang Xusheng was going to give him something, he was still very surprised.

Things have come to this point. It is inevitable that Li Yuhan will take action. This person regards Jiuhua as more important than anything else. But what Zhang Xusheng wants to contact him for at this time. Xu Qingfan can't guess. Others are also surprised. They all know that Bai Qingfu must have a purpose in looking for Xu Qingfan. They also thought it would be something about Jiuhua. But they didn't expect that he would bring news about Zhang Xusheng. Thinking of Bai Qingfu's previous identity, the eyes looking at Bai Qingfu also became a little more weird. Then he looked at Xu Qingfan strangely. But he didn't understand why Xu Qingfan was related to Zhang Xusheng.

Sensing the strange eyes of everyone, Bai Qingfu smiled bitterly. He looked around at everyone. Then he looked at Xu Qingfan again. But he didn't answer Xu Qingfan's question. Obviously he didn't want to let everyone know what Li Yuhan and Zhang Xusheng had said.

He nodded apologetically. Then he stretched out his hand and took Bai Qingfu aside. Talk alone.

"Brother Bai. Why are you involved with Zhang Xusheng again? Haven't you made up your mind to break away from your previous life?"

The two came to one side. Xu Qingfan didn't ask about Li Yuhan's message and what Zhang Xusheng got. Instead, he asked like this. His tone was a bit harsh. Zhang Xusheng was too dangerous. Xu Qingfan didn't want too many people to contact him. To Bai Qingfu, whether as a person or in other ways, Xu Qingfan was very kind and admired. He always felt that Bai Qingfu was very similar to him in some ways. He didn't want him to repeat the same mistakes.

Bai Qingfu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said: "Zhang Xusheng found me. So things are out of my hands."

Xu Qingfan was silent. Then he sighed. He wanted Zhang Xusheng's unfathomable smile. But he didn't say anything more.

Bai Qingfu waited for a moment. Seeing that Xu Qingfan did not respond, he said alone: ​​"Li Yuhan asked me to pass on only four words. 'Jiuhua is important'. Li Yuhan said. If you still take these four words to heart. Then let me tell you his overall plan. How to cooperate. You can decide for yourself without affecting the overall situation. And if Jiuhua has lost its weight in your heart"

Speaking of this, Bai Qingfu showed hesitation. But he did not continue.

Bai Qingfu did not say anything. Xu Qingfan understood. For the long-term and status of Jiuhua, Li Yuhan could only sacrifice to him.

"Great justice suppresses people"

Xu Qingfan suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue and helplessness. The indifference and coldness in his heart were violently churning at this moment. It seemed to spread to Xu Qingfan's whole body.

Originally, Xu Qingfan wanted to conceal the fact that he had been demonized. After covering up all the abnormalities and demonic nature on his body, he would return to the Righteous Alliance to solve the Jiuhua issue. Then, he would pretend that nothing had happened.

But after learning that Gongsun Huasu had made the scene of Shadow Tear Bug public, all his calculations fell through. Xu Qingfan had already calculated his future very clearly. Demons and the righteous are born to be incompatible. No matter how great his contribution to the Righteous Alliance was before, even if he had refined all the demonic energy in his body into "Demon Death Aura" at this moment. But he was full of demonic nature. It was known to everyone that he had been demonized. It became an indisputable fact. The righteous path could no longer tolerate him.

If he continued to do as he thought before, the best outcome would be to be an idle monk. (╰→) The position of Jiuhua Sect Leader was impossible. But he didn't care about it.

Jiuhua Sect Leader had always brought him endless pressure and fatigue. But now he was already a rare master in the world. The Righteous Alliance could not be so confident in him. I'm afraid that imprisonment and surveillance for life was inevitable. But this is what Xu Qingfan did not want.

And this is the best ending. The more likely outcome is that he was besieged by the Righteous Alliance as soon as he appeared. Anyway, it is natural for the Righteous to kill demons. There is no need for an interface. Demons are born evil. Even if this demon has made many contributions to the Righteous Alliance before becoming a demon.

Xu Qingfan thought that although he had many calculations in his life, he was still upright in general. He never took the initiative to hurt anyone for his own interests. He has a clear conscience. But why has he become like this, neither righteous nor demon, and is even more unacceptable to the Righteous? And at this time, when he can't protect himself, for the sake of Jiuhua's righteousness, he has to work hard to restore Jiuhua's reputation.

Complaining to God? Is it useful? Li Xuhan's teachings during his lifetime, Zhang Hualing's will when he died, and even Jiuhua's kindness. Let Xu Qingfan not only consider himself at this time. Although this idea is so strong, Xu Qingfan can't do it.

Xu Qingfan's heart had never been so exhausted and helpless as at this moment. Under exhaustion and helplessness, he suddenly wanted to escape from the world.

The Demon Ancestor once said that the so-called demonic thoughts are the infinite expansion of the heart. Xu Qingfan finally knew why the indifference and coldness in his heart appeared after he was demonized. It turned out that he was tired of all this in his heart.

However, people living in the world will inevitably suffer many helpless things, such as Xu Qingfan at this moment.

"If there was no master, I would have become a dry bone in the southern wilderness more than two hundred years ago. Although he didn't save me for the sake of saving me, it was a fact that he saved me. Senior brother needs to take care of me. Uncle Liu Huaxiang needs to train me. And the head uncle needs to support me. I dare not forget these four words. I still keep them in my heart. What is Li Yuhan's plan? Tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."

Xu Qingfan sighed. Said softly. At the same time, he added something in his mind.

"With my current situation, Jiuhua can no longer officially recognize me. It is impossible for me to confine myself to Jiuhua. So after everything is over, being kicked out by Jiuhua is almost a certainty. So this time This is the last time I can do anything for Jiuhua. Plus this time, I can finally live for myself."

I heard the words "as long as I can do it" and "try my best" mentioned in Xu Qingfan's words. Bai Qingfu knew that Xu Qingfan was afraid that Li Yuhan would sacrifice himself for Jiuhua's plot. He also sighed silently in his heart. He knows Xu Qingfan. Although it is still unknown why Xu Qingfan became like this. But I also felt unfair for Xu Qingfan. Said: "Li Yuhan knows that you will definitely have doubts at this time. That's why he lets you decide how to cooperate. As long as it does not affect his plan, he will not object."

then. Bai Qingfu slowly told Xu Qingfan Li Yuhan's plan. Xu Qingfan couldn't help but have a look of horror in his eyes. Obviously I didn't expect Li Yuhan's character. How could he make such a sinister plan?

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment. Xu Qingfan slowly opened his eyes. He nodded and said: "I will find a way to cooperate."

Bai Qingfu also nodded. Then he took out a green slip from his sleeve. Passed it to Xu Qingfan. Said: "This is what Zhang Xusheng asked me to give you."

Green slips are something monks use to record information. After Xu Qingfan's results. Let your mind sink into it.

Within the green slips. Engraved with a line of words.

"Zizhen is upright and pedantic. I will help you on the right path. Don't meddle in other people's business. Grow up with peace of mind. Wait for me to find you."

The preface of this sentence does not match the subtext. But Xu Qingfan already understood the meaning of Zhang Xusheng's words.

"Zizhen is upright and pedantic" refers to the obsessed attitude of the leader of the Righteous Alliance towards him at this moment. Zizhen attaches great importance to the inheritance of the righteous way. There is no room for him anymore. "I will help you on the right path." It means that he has no bad intentions in helping the Righteous Alliance this time. With his ability. Xu Qingfan does not need to worry about the situation of the Righteous Alliance in "Black Emperor Cliff". "Don't mind your own business" has two meanings. Don't let Xu Qingfan interfere with the affairs of the Righteous Alliance anymore. He also advised Xu Qingfan not to interfere with Jiuhua's affairs. The last sentence. But it allowed Xu Qingfan to practice and accumulate strength with peace of mind. Sooner or later there will be a big battle between the two of them.

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly. I didn't expect it at this time. Zhang Xusheng actually still thinks about himself. It's rare that he doesn't even have any calculations. It seems that Zhang Xusheng is really looking forward to him.

Xu Qingfan shook his head. Walk towards Dongfang Qingling and others' location. He said to Bai Qingfu: "Come on. I just want to explain to them what my current situation is.

I guess you also have doubts at this time. Let’s listen together. "

Bai Qingfu nodded. Silently followed Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan and Bai Qingfu were secret agents before. Ting'er was ordered to stay where she was. After losing consciousness and memory. Ting'er only trusts Xu Qingfan. Now standing in the middle of everyone. Everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Becoming a little restless. If it weren't for Xu Qingfan's order. She was probably already attacking everyone. Fortunately, Xiaobi and Xiaobai came to her side later. Although I no longer knew that I had these two spiritual pets. But I still feel a little relieved. Finally, he didn't go berserk.

After Xu Qingfan comes back. Ting'er didn't hesitate at all. Immediately flashed to Xu Qingfan's side. Feeling aggrieved, he pulled Xu Qingfan to get his clothes. He looked like he had accepted his grievance. Xu Qingfan touched Ting'er's head. Ting'er's mood calmed down.

He nodded to everyone. He sat on the ground first. Said: "Everyone, sit down. I will explain the matter clearly to you."

I heard what Xu Qingfan said. Everyone sat down around Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan looked around at everyone. Thinking of the decisions everyone made before, regardless of their own safety. There was emotion in his eyes. Think for a moment. Organized the language. Then he said: "I'm afraid everyone is very strange. Why did I almost become a demon? And why did I kill the master master? Originally these things involve the secrets of Jiuhua. I can't say more. But you are willing to risk being killed by the Righteous Alliance. You will not hesitate to come to me if you are in danger of being possessed by me. If you trust me so much, I can’t hide anything from you, but please keep it secret in the future.”

I heard Xu Qingfan speak cautiously. Everyone swears by the sky.

Xu Qingfan nodded. Then the top people in Jiuhua after the Jiuhua catastrophe were killed or injured. The younger generation has not yet grown up. How Zhang Hualing practiced Zhang Xusheng's secret method. How he lost control again. Then he talked about how he made a promise with himself. Then he told the story of how he almost became a demon before and after he sneaked into Zhang Xusheng's base camp.

After listening to Xu Qingfan's story. Everyone sighed. They all know that righteous monks are naturally hostile, hateful and even afraid of demon cultivators. They all also wanted to understand Xu Qingfan's situation at this time. Thinking that Xu Qingfan had always envisioned the Jiuhua Righteous Alliance. In the end, it ended up like this. Even if you want to cultivate immortality, you need to always maintain a reverence for the way of heaven. At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh that God was unfair.

He wanted to comfort Xu Qingfan. But I don't know what to say. Because of this time. Any comfort was of no use.

Among them, Dongfang Qingling just looked at Xu Qingfan deeply, with pity in her heart. Looking at Xu Qingfan's changed appearance, the black lines on his face and the dark and cold eyes, she suddenly felt that all this was a great irony to the saying "Good people are rewarded".

Just when everyone was silent, Xu Qingfan suddenly stood up and bowed to everyone.

He was shocked and stood up and bowed in return.

But Xu Qingfan said: "The reason why I explained these things this time is just to let you know that you did not trust me in vain. I, Xu Qingfan, have always been the Xu Qingfan you knew before.

As he said that, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly. He said again: "But now you all know my situation very well. I am in this state. My body is obviously evil. Even if I recover, I will not be tolerated by the righteous path. If I go back, I am afraid I will be imprisoned for life. But this is not what I want. So this is the last time I will meet you all. From now on, in order to avoid the cultivators in the world, I will hide in the ends of the earth and live in seclusion from now on. I am afraid that I will never have the chance to meet you all again."

"Master"

Xu Qingfan was interrupted by Bai Yu halfway through his words. Although Bai Yu was naughty, he was very respectful of Xu Qingfan. He never dared to interrupt Xu Qingfan. This was the first time.

At this time, Xu Qingfan's face was strange and terrifying. After his cultivation level was improved, his aura and pressure increased. However, Bai Yu looked directly into Xu Qingfan's eyes and showed a little anger to Xu Qingfan.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingfan asked in surprise.

"Master. I want to know. The 'you all' you mentioned just now. Does it include me?" Bai Yu stared at Xu Qingfan tightly. He clenched his fists and spoke word by word.

Xu Qingfan sighed: "I know what you are thinking. But you have a bright future. With your qualifications. (╰→) Even if you are my disciple. As long as you show that you have severed your relationship with me, you will continue to be valued by the Righteous Alliance. No need."

"Master, I have something to ask you."

Xu Qingfan was interrupted by Bai Yu again.

"You say."

"I have heard about Master. The reason why Master accepted Master as his disciple was to let Master experiment with a defective technique for him. Because of this technique, Master almost died many times. So why does Master respect Master so much? When he was in Jiuhua, unless he was in seclusion, he would take us to worship him every once in a while. Even though your cultivation status has long surpassed Master, you have never said a bad word about Master from beginning to end?"

"Bai Yu, I know what you mean. Your Master certainly has the intention to use me, but he saved my life after all. What's more, this experiment was also my own request. Although he used me to experiment with the technique, he never disregarded my life. He always taught me with his heart. Later, as my feelings for him deepened. He no longer has the intention to use me. He truly regards me as his disciple. So I respect him. It is natural. But my current situation is different."

I was interrupted again.

"Master, what do you mean by different? Master, do you not regard us as real disciples? Or do you think that we disciples can only share wealth with you, but not adversity?"

For the first time, Xu Qingfan didn't know how to explain in front of Bai Yu.

"Master, you understand my thoughts. I also understand your thoughts. You think that we disciples should not be implicated at this time. But we disciples have decided to share honor and disgrace with you from the moment we worship you as our master. I don't care about the opinions of outsiders. You are my master. It's that simple. "

Bai Yu's words were powerful and resolute. Xu Qingfan had long been accustomed to Bai Yu's nonsense and roguery. It was the first time he saw Bai Yu had such a side.

On the other side, Zhang Ningmei also bowed down. She had her own way of heaven. She should follow her own way of heaven. The way of heaven represents her own heart. And the heart of the disciple at this moment is to stay with you, the master, without giving up. You have protected the disciples for such a long time. It is time for the disciples to repay you. What's more, since you are going to hide from the world, we will follow you and listen to your teachings from time to time. How can we be implicated?"

Zhang Ningmei's voice was always calm. But it made Xu Qingfan even more unable to refute.

After a moment of silence. Xu Qingfan sighed. He said: "Okay. You two just follow me. You two have special physical conditions. If you practice alone, I am afraid there will be some accidents."

"Thank you, Master"

Hearing Xu Qingfan say this, Bai Yu and Zhang Ningmei were both overjoyed. After bowing, he stood behind Xu Qingfan.

"Bai Yu." Xu Qingfan seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly said.

"The disciple is here." Bai Yu replied.

"I remember when I accepted you, I only accepted you as an inner disciple. From now on, you are my direct disciple."

Xu Qingfan said with a smile.

Bai Yu was overjoyed. He bowed again. This time, he bowed three times before bowing. And Xu Qingfan accepted it calmly.

There are three types of disciples for cultivating immortals: direct disciples, inner disciples, and registered disciples. Among them, registered disciples have the opportunity to contact immortals. But they are usually like slaves. Inner disciples get the true teachings. Only direct disciples get the inheritance of this lineage.

"Master!"

At this moment. Two loud howls suddenly sounded. Bai Qingfu was looking at the scene in front of him with great satisfaction. He thought that Xu Qingfan really accepted two disciples with affection and righteousness. But he was frightened by the two loud howls and shivered.

Xu Qingfan turned around and took a look. But he saw Tian Zhenxian and Tian Zhenling kneeling in front of him. Keep knocking. At the same time, they said in unison: "We have admired and worshiped you for many years. Master, please accept us as your disciples."

There was a constant banging sound. Although you gain physical fitness through cultivating immortality. Even if he chews the rock beneath him into pieces, it won't be a big deal. But it also shows his sincerity.

"Master. These Tian brothers are really sincere to you. They have good qualifications. At the beginning, the great elder of the Five Elements Sect wanted to accept them as disciples, but they were rejected by both of them. But they have been pestering you for hundreds of years. I just want to Let you accept them as your disciples. I have never been depressed this time. I don't see any behavior from those who are familiar with you. You will have to follow us to find you without any regrets."

Seeing Xu Qingfan frowning and thinking. There seems to be a tendency to disagree. Bai Yu also quickly begged beside him.

The Tian brothers have to do something. Xu Qingfan was also moved in his heart. If you don't have the intention to accept a disciple at this moment. That's a lie. I just don't want to delay their future. But thinking about the two people following him till now. Just to worship myself as my teacher. Another rejection. I'm afraid it will make them very sad. While kowtowing, there were already cracks in the rock beneath my head. My heart couldn't help but soften. Sighed slightly. Said: "Since you are not afraid of delaying your own future and being despised by the righteous people, from today on, you two are my disciples, Xu Qingfan."

I wanted to say he was a registered disciple. After accepting unparalleled talents such as Ting'er, Bai Yu, and Zhang Ningmei as disciples. Xu Qingfan's discernment in selecting disciples is already higher than anyone else in the world of immortality. But I feel sincere. Thinking of the status of a registered disciple in the world of immortality. In the end, he was still accepted as a disciple.

"Thank you, Master"

In the past, it was wishful thinking to call Xu Qingfan master. This time it was acknowledged. The two of them had a smooth mind. There are no words to express it.

Originally, I followed the rules of apprenticeship. The two of them should serve tea to Xu Qingfan. But at this time, the mountains and wild mountains are deserted. Where is the tea? So after three bows and nine kowtows. The Tian brothers retreated behind Xu Qingfan. After complaining to each other, they decided to become a disciple. Why wasn't the tea prepared earlier? Although bickering. But the joy on his face was irresistible.

The Tian brothers were happy. The depression in everyone's hearts was greatly relieved.

Just then. Bai Qingfu suddenly smiled. Bowed to Xu Qingfan. Said: "Restricted by seniority. I can't follow Junior Brother Xu as a disciple. But Junior Brother Xu can accept me to travel with you. Travel together. We can live together in a house after seclusion?"

other side. Wang Zegang also took a step forward. He bowed and said, "I would also like to ask my benefactor to stay in seclusion with me. My benefactor, you have saved my life three times. You have also helped me cultivate immortality. There is no way to repay kindness. I have already said this. I owe this life to my benefactor."

"Senior Brother Bai. Fellow Daoist Wang. What are you?"

Xu Qingfan said in surprise.

"Junior Brother Xu. It's not that I, as a senior brother, have to be shameless. It's just that you also know my previous situation. Although I returned to Jiuhua, everyone is on guard. No one cares about me. I have the intention to travel around the world alone. But at this time, the world of immortality is difficult to understand. The situation is no different than seeking death. In addition, Zhang Xusheng is afraid, so I can only rely on you. "

Bai Qingfu said with a smile. The expression on his face was the same as when the two met for the first time.

"Please be kind enough to fulfill your benevolence"

Wang Zegang didn't talk as much as Bai Qingfu. But he became more decisive.

Xu Qingfan was stunned. In the dark eyes. The feeling of emotion is getting stronger and stronger. Unknowingly. The indifference and indifference caused by the demonic thoughts in the bottom of my heart was actually washed away a lot.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Sudden. Xu Qingfan looked up to the sky and smiled. After a long time, he walked up to Bai Qingfu and Wang Zegang. Pulling their arms. Said: "To be honest, I was really depressed just now. I just felt that God was unfair. I had a clear conscience all my life, but it only gave me this ending. But now I have no intention of complaining. Since I have given four sentient beings, I have no regrets in this life."

When Xu Qingfan thought he had been abandoned by the whole world. Encountered such a situation. I am truly happy like never before. No more suppressing the emotions in my heart.

"Senior Brother Bai. How do you contact Senior Brother Lu Qingshang?"

Xu Qingfan asked.

"We have agreed to meet thirty miles south of Ronghua Mountain."

"Okay. Let's go see him now. We just have to deal with Jiuhua's affairs and explain everything clearly. You can follow me into seclusion!"

Xu Qingfan said.

It was originally a separate scene. At this moment, everyone is happy. Even Ting'er. After seeing Xu Qingfan laughing. Although I don’t know exactly what the reason is. But he also laughed stupidly.

or. There was another person who was incompatible with this joyful scene.

That is Dongfang Qingling.

Bai Qingfu couldn't stay in Jiuhua. So you can follow Xu Qingfan. Wang Zegang had already given his life to Xu Qingfan. So you can also follow Xu Qingfan. As for Ting'er, Zhang Ningmei, Bai Yu, and the Tian brothers. He is Xu Qingfan's disciple. It is only natural to follow Xu Qingfan into seclusion.

Only the Eastern Qingling. She found that she had no reason. Xu Qingfan saved her life. But she also saved Xu Qingfan. between each other. Can't live without her.

only. I want to be with Xu Qingfan forever. Dongfang Qingling is more urgent than anyone else. It's a pity that she couldn't find an excuse to follow Xu Qingfan.

At this moment, Dongfang Qingling hoped that Xu Qingfan would say (╰→) "Junior Sister Dongfang. Come with me too". Then she would follow Xu Qingfan without hesitation.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing. Xu Qingfan just called everyone to fly to the place where he would meet with Lu Qingshang.

Dongfang Qingling silently followed everyone and flew into the air. As if forgotten. No one spoke to him. Everyone was discussing where to hide from the world. Like her. Everyone could not find a reason for Dongfang Qingling to follow Xu Qingfan. So of course she would return to Jiuhua. Continue to be the elder of Jiuhua.

What should I do? Dongfang Qingling thought absentmindedly.
