Qu Chong left a small piece of silver on the table as meal money, then stood up and left. Xing Tian followed him to a secluded place outside with a puzzled look on his face.
At this moment, Qu Chongcai said with his hands behind his back: "You know that I am a member of the Guashan sect. In fact, the Guashan sect is divided into an inner sect and an outer sect. Like all sects, the inner sect represents the core strength of a sect.
Naturally, the inner sect is respected, while the outer sect is the branches and trunks. Although it is also indispensable to a sect, it is a little behind after all. The master is the disciple of the inner sect of Guashan Mountain, and I will learn from Mr. Tingyu..."
Xing Tian had already made a guess in his mind, so he was not surprised. Qu Chong added: "Ten years ago, I was a teacher who claimed to have extraordinary talents. With the power of hardness and softness, he went to the 'Tingyu Tower' to study the Wentian Divine Cauldron for seven days and seven nights, and realized
There is a set of divine method called "Ask the God Algorithm". This divine method can predict the unknown, peer into the past and present, and judge people's bad luck. It is extremely magical. However, my mentor at the time advised me not to practice this divine method. It should be noted that any divine method needs to communicate with the vitality of heaven and earth.
Only by entering the Aperture Realm can I practice cultivation reluctantly. However, I did not listen to the advice of my mentor. I was completely immersed in this magical method and practiced forcefully. Although I have made some small achievements in the past ten years, it has done great harm to myself. A few months ago, I gave myself
I did some divination and asked the heavens, and found out that my life expectancy had dropped sharply, to less than half a year..."
As soon as these words came out, Xing Tian was shocked. He and Qu Chong had only known each other for more than half a month, but he had already truly recognized this master. Moreover, Qu Chong treated him without any reservation and gave him everything he had. It can be said that he was as generous as a mountain.
When he heard the news, he naturally couldn't help himself. For a moment, Xing Tian's eyes were moist, but he was speechless.
When Qu Chong saw Xing Tian's expression, he was also greatly relieved. He laughed and said: "Good disciple, everything has a destiny. This is my master's fate and I can't escape it. As a master, I temper my body at the age of twelve, and my body is tempered at the age of fifteen.
By adjusting the breath and absorbing the energy, at the age of twenty-five, all 108 acupuncture points on the body were opened, entering the realm of hardness and softness, ranking as a master, and becoming a disciple of Mr. Tingyu, and finally I have you as a good disciple.
It can be said that I have a good teacher and a good disciple, and my life is worth it."
Xing Tian heard this with reluctance. Once people have feelings for someone or something, they will fall silent. Especially Xing Tian, who had already regarded Qu Chong as his mentor. At this moment, he heard his mentor's death not long ago, but he said angrily.
: "Then why should we leave it to fate..."
This sound came from the heart, with a sense of pride and resentment flowing through it.
Qu Chong's eyes lit up, but he murmured: "Why should I leave it to fate... Haha, that's good. With just this sentence, I made no mistake in accepting you as my disciple!"
Immediately, Qu Chong softened his tone and said again: "If you want to change your fate against the will of heaven, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Using your own true energy to ask the gods for calculations will waste your life. I'm already exhausted as a teacher."
There is no way to break it, not even gods can save it!"
…
In the early morning of the next day, there was a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky. The master and the apprentice arrived at the capital of the Zhao Dynasty before noon. The rain hats they wore were bought last night. Qu Chong said that it would rain the next day.
Judging from the dark clouds above my head, this statement should be true.
"Master, you said that every time you use the God-Questioning Algorithm, your lifespan will be depleted, but why do you still have to ask questions about everything? Isn't this adding insult to injury?" After entering the city, Xingtian said with some concern.
Last night, Xingtian already knew that his master would only live for one month. In other words, according to Qu Chong's calculation, his master would only have one month's lifespan at most. Naturally, Xingtian felt extremely depressed.
"Just predicting the weather does no harm to me at all. On the contrary, this God-Asking God algorithm will be strengthened by one point every time I use it. I only hope that I can practice this divine method to the extent that I can achieve it in my limited life."
This is the highest stage, so that my life will not be in vain!" Qu Chong was very open-minded at the moment, without any of the decadence and unwillingness of a person who is about to end his life. He basically ate meat as much as he could, drank as much wine as he wanted, and was a carefree and optimistic person.
Xing Tian was dejected. From last night to now, Xing Tian's mood has not been better. Even now, he doesn't know whether he was right or wrong in coming to find Linglong. The master used the Wentianshen algorithm to predict Linglong's location, which must have cost him a certain amount of life, but
This made Xingtian feel unbearable and felt that he owed his master even more.
But when he arrived at Qu Chong's side, he just laughed it off and asked Xing Tian to recite the God's Algorithm formula day and night. He said that everyone is going to die, and it didn't matter if he died, but the magical method he had learned could not be lost. He also said that he would not be on the mountain to take good care of himself.
Enjoying the happiness and happiness, I went down the mountain specifically to find an apprentice, just to pass on this magical method.
Xingtian naturally memorized the formula with tears in his eyes and recited it day and night. The formula was already familiar to him by heart. At the same time, he also strictly followed Qu Chong's teachings and only recorded the contents of the formula and never practiced it. Otherwise, he would follow in his footsteps and Xingtian's current situation would be the same.
In terms of cultivation, once you practice and use Asking the Gods, you will definitely die immediately.
The two found an inn to stay. Qu Chong seemed to have everything in mind and just said he would have a good rest. Xing Tian waited until midnight in a daze. He was worried about the master for a while, and thought of Linglong for a while, but he was full of distracting thoughts and was upset.
.
Time passed bit by bit.
Qu Chong sat cross-legged aside. Night was falling and dark clouds were gathering outside. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It's time, let's go!"
Xing Tian, whose heart had been hanging for a long time, immediately stood up quickly.
The two masters and apprentices took advantage of the night to walk through Kyoto with Yu Li. Xing Tian had never been to this place before, so he could only follow his master Qu Chong away, passing through many small streets and alleys, until they reached a straight street.
Stopped.
This street is more than five feet wide. It is made of flat bluestone as the roadbed. It is washed with water in the morning and evening. It is extremely clean. It is obviously the main street of Kyoto.
"It's here!" Qu Chong said calmly: "Disciple, since you insist on seeing that sweetheart, I will let you do so tonight as my teacher. But remember, it's good to meet once. If I let you go, you can follow me."
Don’t delay, you must know that some things cannot be forced!”
Now that it's time, Xingtian naturally nods, and he is even more eager to see Linglong.
After saying that, Qu Chong jumped up and hid his figure.
Xing Tian, who could be said to be ignorant, just stood on the roadside and looked around. There were not many pedestrians on the road at this time. After waiting for about half a stick of incense, raindrops started to fall from the sky, so the street became more crowded.
There was no one. Xing Tian took the rain hat and waited for a while. At this moment, a chariot suddenly came from the distance. It was luxurious and majestic. The car was engraved with the pattern of phoenix dancing in the sky. On both sides of the car, there were more than
More than thirty guards in armor, accompanied by some girls in luxurious clothes, walked straight from the front.
Xing Tian stood on the side of the road, motionless, when a tall armored guard walked in front, but said loudly: "Her Highness Linglong, the Seventh Princess of Zhao, has arrived. The rest of the people are waiting to get away quickly!"
This armored guard is full of energy. The armor on his body is dark and bright. He looks like he weighs at least a hundred kilograms. Wearing a hundred kilograms of weight, he can walk like wind. His martial arts skills are definitely not low.
When Xing Tian heard what the other party said, his heart skipped a beat.
"The Seventh Princess of Zhao, Your Highness Linglong...Linglong, could it be..." Xing Tian murmured, and was lost in thought for a while, while the armored guard opposite saw Xing Tian dumbfounded and was about to get angry.
"Quickly retreat!" With a snap, the armored guard had already pulled out the long knife from his waist.
"Stop, I'm just here to relax, don't bother passers-by!" At this time, a shout came from the carriage, and the armored guard immediately put away his sword and stood, no longer making any move, but keeping his eyes on Xing Tian.
That voice was very familiar to Xing Tian. At this moment, he had gradually understood something in his heart, but he had a bitter look on his face.
He had guessed Linglong's identity, but he still didn't expect that Linglong's identity was so noble. After truly knowing this, Xingcai found that there was a huge difference in status between himself and the other party. Linglong was so noble.
unattainable.
What about yourself?
A country boy, a man with muddy legs, a man who didn't even pass the martial arts test.
No wonder Master would say that it is difficult for him and Linglong to achieve consummation.
When Xing Tian was stunned, the chariot had already come over. At this moment, the curtain on the chariot was opened by someone, and a pair of wonderful eyes saw it. When he saw Xing Tianhou standing in the rain, the people in the car were obviously shaken.
, the fingers holding the car curtain could not help but tremble slightly.
"Stop!"
The people in the car were obviously of high status, and the armored guards and maids around them were also well-trained. With an order, even the people in the car stopped in unison.
"Princess, what are you..." Another woman's voice came from the carriage, and Xing Tian could tell that it was Xiao Cui's voice.
There was a sudden whisper in the car, but people outside could not hear it clearly. Soon, the next person stepped out of the car, but it was Xiao Cui wearing a green maid uniform.
"The princess has ordered everyone to retreat a hundred meters and the guards to retreat ten feet away!"
As soon as the voice fell, the maids all backed away, and the armored guard followed the order without hesitation. However, the armored guard who initially scolded Xing Tian showed a hesitant look.
In an instant, Xiaocui raised her eyebrows and raised her voice: "Princess has an order, the guards must retreat ten feet away!"
At this time, the armored guard stared at Xing Tian with great reluctance, and then backed away.
But at this moment, the guards formed a circle around the princess's chariot, but the distance of forty to fifty meters was empty, except for Xiao Cui, Linglong in the chariot, Xing Tian and the sparse raindrops falling in the sky.
