Chong Zi - Chapter 10 : The Kiss of Rebirth

Unimaginable beauty.

Beautiful crimson, eye-catching, shocking, like a thick robe, and like a rushing waterfall, rippling in the wind, as if it has life.

Neither the robe nor the waterfall, but the hair!

Such long and beautiful hair! It turned out to be a deep red color!

Chongzi didn't look at her face the way he wanted, but only saw such beautiful long hair. Chongzi couldn't believe it. He once thought that his teacher's long hair was already the most beautiful in the world. It was as black as a cloud. There are people in the world who have long hair that is just as beautiful. Even more special, no less than the teacher's.

Her hair was not only very long, but also voluminous, not fastened with hairpins, but simply scattered, almost dragging along the ground, straight and silky, with a hint of shine, lined with black lines. Dressed in a black long coat, it was very pretty and seductive.

Chongzi looked dazed.

There was a woman in purple standing opposite him. The woman was also very beautiful, but with the person in front of her as a comparison, she looked average. There was something about him that Chongzi could remember, it was his eyes.

A pair of cold eyes, with countless repulsive colors.

He said coldly: "It's so easy to save me. Why don't you die?"

No answer.

With a "pop", he raised his hand and slapped the man.

The man didn't move, and his voice finally revealed obvious weakness. "I was just hit by Luo Yinfan's sword. I'm afraid it will be difficult to condense my spiritual power at this time. I will break the barrier. You go first."

He snorted impatiently, "Come on."

It turned out that the red-haired person was a man. This woman obviously treated him badly, why would she save him? 

Chongzi suddenly came back to his senses, deathly pale. That man came on purpose to save this woman and Chongzi heard that he was stabbed by his teacher, could it be? He was the one…

There was a commotion in the distance, and it seemed like a lot of people were walking in this direction.

Chongzi was still in shock, and before he could react, a huge force suddenly came to his face. In an instant, his whole body was pulled out of the window, followed by a heavy blow to his chest, and his whole body seemed to be torn apart by something.

With a soundless scream, Chongzi flew straight from the railing and fell into the sea.

It hurts! Am I going to die?

The front of his eyes gradually blurred, the black cloud above his head gradually turned vacant, the pain slowly disappeared, but the body became lighter and lighter, instead of falling, it floated up...

If I die, will I be able to see my parents?

The scenes from his childhood that he had not remembered for years now became very clear. His mother hummed a little song to lull him to sleep, and his father always hugged him and said, "Our son Chongzi is very good," but then they all died suddenly. He is the only one left, living on the streets as a beggar and being bullied, he can't remember what they looked like.

Chongzi was confused and he gradually lost consciousness.

Within the darkness, an intense light appeared at the end of his line of sight, pulling him to float there...

"Chong'er!" someone called him.

It's Master! Master is here!

Chongzi was desperately trying to hold on to his last bit of energy, and was desperately trying to open his mouth, trying to scream, but couldn't say anything.

When his parents died, he was very sad every time he thought about it. Now if he died, his teacher would be sad too. There are still Masters who treat him well in this world. He didn't want to die, he wanted to accompany Master!

He struggled to turn around, but his body refused to obey, and still flew towards the light.

When he was in a hurry, his light and trembling body suddenly became extremely heavy, and he could no longer float, and fell directly into a comfortable and familiar embrace.

The white light disappeared, and his eyes darkened.

His consciousness had recovered. His entire body felt a searing pain, like being slashed by a thousand blades.

A cold breath slowly escaped from the mouth and flowed throughout the body, as if power was continuously being injected, the pain gradually subsided, and the things around became real.

What was more real was the touch on his lips.

Luo Yinfan also did not expect this accident to happen. Wan Jie sneaked in to save Fairy Gong. Luo Yinfan didn't want to injure his life, but who knew that he would take Luo Yinfan's sword without thinking about his safety and take Gong Faucet to escape from Dragon Abyss. Zhuo Yao and the others immediately searched the mountain, and at the same time ordered all Qinghua Palace disciples to stand guard and guard the palace gates. No one thought he would escape to Hailou, let alone that he still had the energy to break through the barrier. The most unexpected thing is that there is only Chongzi in Hailou. If Zhuo Hao was there, reporting it would be just a snap of the finger.

Luckily, Luo Yinfan had pulled a trick on him earlier. He would come right away when he saw something happen. However, seeing that his soul had left his body and had almost returned to the ghost gate. In a hurry, Luo Yinfan lowered his head without thinking about it and didn't hesitate to drain his true god power, and left with a golden immortal. Only then did he temporarily capture her soul and take back her life.

It is a coincidence that Luo Yinfan is the only one who has developed the position of Daluo Jinxian in Xianmen. If he didn't come on time and he wasn't around, Chongzi would have lost his soul at this moment.

Forced by the situation, the little disciple was just a child. Luo Yinfan himself didn't have any disturbing thoughts, naturally he didn't care about going overboard. Everyone knew that he was saving people, and there was a relationship between teacher and disciple, so of course he shouldn't take it seriously. They were all nervous and worried, but Zhuo Yunji looked at the two in confusion.

The little girl in his arms groaned in pain. 

Luo Yinfan secretly said that he was lucky and raised his face. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, half amazed and half angry.

"Fortunately, His Highness arrived just in time."

"Wan Jie is so ruthless, not even children are spared!"

"He's running away again!"

Is it Master? 

Chongzi tried his best to open his eyes wide and stared at the handsome face above his head. The expression on his face was still calm, but there was a hint of anxiety and guilt in his eyes. Is Master worried about him?

"Chong'er?" he called slowly.

Chongzi wanted to speak, but had no choice but to wrinkle his face, but he couldn't help but groan. 

Luo Yinfan shook his head, this kid is seriously injured. He was scared and worried.

A disciple rushed over and handed a golden bottle to Zhuo Yao, who rushed forward, "Your faction's Nine Revolves Golden Pill is always effective. Quickly give it to him!"

Luo Yinfan didn't refuse, thanked him, and took two pills for Chongzi.

Some of these precious Nine Turns Golden Pills were originally sent by the Nanhua faction, and humans could be revived after consuming them. However the one who started this time was Venerable Demon. Even though Wan Jie had committed many crimes. But fortunately there are very few scattered souls, otherwise Chongzi would have disappeared in the Six Realms at this time. Even if Luo Yinfan had a true god spirit, he would not be able to save him. Wan Jie is His Highness the Demon King. His demonic aura was too heavy, and it was enough to injure people accidentally. Chongzi's soul returns to its place but the situation is unclear. The Nine Revolves Golden Pill had more or less life-sustaining abilities, better than not using it.

Zhuo Yao said, "How?"

Luo Yinfan returned the golden bottle and the rest of the golden pill, "It's fine for now, but he seems to have corrupted his soul, I'm afraid..."

Zhuo Yunji beside him suddenly said, "It's okay, Wan Jie is not meant to injure his soul it's just that his demonic aura is too heavy to be avoided. I have a recipe here."

After speaking, Zhao Yunji took out a pen and paper from the blue medicine. Quickly wrote down a few words and handed it to him. “One of the herbs, red leaf Ganoderma lucidum, happens to be a fairy grass unique to Nanhua Mountain. Your Highness may wish to bring it back to Nanhua for immediate treatment.”

Luo Yinfan nodded and took the recipe, then turned to Zhuo Yao, "I'll take it back and leave first. Please excuse me if I'm being too impolite."

Zhuo Yao hurriedly said, "Excuse me, Your Highness, it still takes a few days to go to Nanhua, so you'd better bring the rest of the golden pills."

Luo Yinfan looked at Zhuo Yunji.

Zhuo Yunji shook his head, "Nine Revolves Golden Pill is not a good life-sustaining medicine. It's not very useful. It's better to leave it to those who need it the most."

The wave cloud seemed to understand the master's thoughts, and had already flown forward to wait for Luo Yinfan hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, picked up Chongzi and stepped on the sword.

Zhuo Yao was busy escorting the unsuspecting guests. He also ordered several immortals and eldest disciples from Qinghua Palace to stay and work together to repair the barrier. Turning around, he suddenly saw Zhuo Hao standing at the side with his head down and shouting class, "Meet me. Facing the wall and think about it for half a year!"

It doesn't seem like the time to relax when the wave clouds are coming. He carried two people, teacher and disciple through the clouds, wave after wave, and the speed that even the wind can't catch up, has left the East China Sea in an instant, and traveled thousands of miles away.

Chongzi finally couldn't help but cough, causing severe pain all over his body, and groaned in a low voice.

Luo Yinfan whispered, "Chong'er?"

With the effect of the Nine Revolves Golden Pill, and Chongzi's strength recovered slightly, and he said with difficulty, "Master..."

His face was blue and black, his lips were pale, his voice was weak and weak, and even his big and mischievous eyes had lost their luster, half open and half closed, and his usual intelligent appearance was completely lost.

He thought he could protect her well, but now he almost lost his life.

Luo Yinfan felt guilty, "Does it hurt?"

Chongzi hesitated and shook his head.

This wise child, Luo Yinfan felt a little depressed, "Don't talk. We return to Nanhua and teacher will heal you."

Chongzi blinked and wanted to nod, but suddenly his face contorted, showing pain.

Knowing that the injury occurred, Luo Yinfan didn't think about it, immediately lowered his head, and gave him another breath of immortal energy.

Cold breaths continued to flow into the body, and the burning pain suddenly subsided.

Chongzi slowed down and was in a daze.

For the first time in Qinghua Palace, he gave him a breath. At that time, Chongzi came out of his body and had not fully woken up, was in a semi-conscious state, and he had no time to think about anything.

The situation was different now, he was awake.

The soft lips gently covered her lips, and there was no other movement, but the feeling was extraordinary, as if something that had been lost for a long time was found again, unclear, the truth is the truth. So real it's hard to forget. A strand of long black hair fell over her face, shaking as her eyelashes fluttered.

Nothing changed, his heart was still calm, but he was a little drunk, so comfortable that he wanted to sleep. Chongzi couldn't help closing his eyes, he didn't know anything, he only knew that he liked this feeling so much that he could even forget the pain in his body.

"Are you all right?"

Soft lips go and all sensation disappears instantly.

Chongzi regained consciousness, but there was a trace of disappointment, and he looked at him inexplicably.

"Does it still hurt?"

Chongzi shook his head.

Luo Yinfan was relieved, and urged Zhubo to rush towards Nanhua at the fastest speed. Even though immortal breath can relieve the pain but this is not the way to heal it. It was fine to exhaust his true god power, but if something went wrong along the way, it would be troublesome.

He was in a hurry, but he didn't know that Chongzi was also in a hurry. Walk slowly and come back later, so Master can hug him a little longer.

She silently buried her face in his embrace, greedily trying to remember this feeling. He would rather be like this forever, always in his arms, no matter how painful it was.

With Zhubo, the two disappeared into the clouds.

***

A figure slowly rose from under the clouds and stood in the sky. Dark red hair and black long clothes fluttered in the wind at the same time, vivid and strange.

He looked at the direction where the two had gone for a long time, and suddenly said, "Has Ben Zuo [1] gone blind?"

[1] 本座 ben zuo : formal address oneself/ me; often used by powerful gods or higher beings

Her voice was cold and charming, and there was no trace of tiredness, only a strong murderous aura.

There is someone in front of him.

A black, hooded robe with very low hem that covered most of her face, only showing a sharp nose, thin and shapely lips, and a pointed chin with elegant lines.

Perhaps because she didn't like looking at the light, she was almost wrapped in a black robe, like a dark ghost, only her left hand was exposed, and she was wearing a strange purple water essence ring on her ring finger.

The corners of his lips twitched, he seemed to smile, and his voice was as strange as his own, gloomy and deathly, "Master Wan Jie."

During the conversation, the purple water essence ring on the finger shone with a faint luster, revealing a mysterious allure, as if sucking people into it.

Wan Jie sneered, "Spirituality isn't bad, but unfortunately it's far from controlling me."

He ignored the ridicule, “It is said that Luo Yinfan is cruel but he doesn't treat his disciples badly. Master Wan Jie has followed him. What do you plan to do?”

Wan Jie said, "What does Luo Yinfan have to do with me? I came here to confirm one thing."

He lifted his chin slightly, "Oh?"

Wan Jie did not continue the topic, "I'll start with him. I'm afraid that's just what you want. Do you come with me to deal with Luo Yinfan or do you want the Nilun Demon King Sword?"

"Does Master Wan Jie think so?" the light of the ring flashed again.

"You can't stop me."

"Master Wan Jie is still very arrogant."

Wan Jie didn't say anything, and left in the wind. He didn't give chase, but still stood there, holding out the cloak with the fingers of his right hand and stroking the ring.

The surrounding clouds suddenly changed, as if violently stirred, tumbling, and rushing, forming a high wall, which turned into a beautiful purple in an instant.

The sky is full of bright clouds. A woman flew in from the depths, with red and pink ribbons, a purple skirt, long lavender hair flying, and her crystal white skin was like a petal just opened with dew, and her elegant posture was as beautiful as a ghost's dream.

What was even more incredible was that her body was as smooth as silk satin, and she actually coiled around her body like a snake, and finally fell lightly beside him.

The scene before him turned into a thousand illusions. He only slightly curled his lips and turned around to hide.

***

Luo Yinfan traveled day and night with Chongzi, and there were no major incidents on the way, and he returned to Nanhua smoothly. Yu Du and Min Yunzhong had been trusted before, and all kinds of medicines were prepared and sent to Zizhu Peak one after the other.

Lying on the familiar bed, Chongzi was both happy and sad. He was happy to come home, but he was sad because his teacher no longer hugged him to save him.

Luo Yinfan didn't know what he was thinking. Standing at the table, he lowered his head and fiddled with the medicinal herbs. When he turned around and saw his little pupil staring at him with big black eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "Still hurts?"

Chongzi shook his head.

Luo Yinfan sighed slightly and walked over.

With such a serious injury, even if his eternal breath could numb the pain, it would still feel uncomfortable to a certain extent. The child was so uncomfortable that he could barely sleep, but he rarely made a sound because he was afraid the teacher would worry. 

He bent down and tucked the cold little hand into the blanket.

Her long hair was flowing, blocking the light like a waterfall, like a small thick awning.

Chongzi grabbed a rope.

Luo Yinfan was angry and laughed, slightly reproachful, "Don't be naughty."

The little disciple didn't blink and laugh as usual, but only said softly, "Teacher"

Luo Yinfan stunned for a moment, then quietly withdrew his hand and stood up straight.

Several people came in, first Yu Du and Min Yunzhong, followed by Mu Yu, and a female disciple in her twenties. She is beautiful, but wears colorful clothes. Perhaps this was his first time going to Zizhu Peak. Even though he had been holding back but his eyes were still filled with joy that couldn't be hidden.

Yu Du first went to bed to comfort Chongzi, and then turned to Luo Yinfan, "It's okay, the medicine is ready, but that red leaf ganoderma is almost extinct at this time, and it will only grow a few years now."

The red leaf Ganoderma lucidum was only born on the rocky cliffs beneath Tongtianmen on Nanhua Mountain. At that time Demon King Ni Lun led the demons to attack Nanhua. After a fierce battle, the sky darkened and the Nanhua mountain was extremely damaged. 

Luo Yinfan looked at Chongzi on the bed.

Yu Du sighed secretly, if it weren't for Wan Jie who never hurt people's souls, this matter would have been solved a long time ago. If this little girl's soul is scattered, it is better for Nanhua, at least they don't have to worry so much.

Luo Yinfan pondered for a moment and said, "Nanhua once gave a red leaf Ganoderma as a gift, brother remember?"

Yu Du thought for a moment, "There is one in Kunlun, and Zhenren Youfang asked for two..."

"Forget it, it's too late to run around," Min Yunzhong suddenly interrupted him and instructed Mu Yu, "I have one in my room, go and get it."

Mu Yu agreed and left in a hurry.

Luo Yinfan was surprised but there was a trace of gratitude in his calm voice, "Thank you, Uncle."

Min Yunzhong said coldly: "Rescuing is about saving lives. It is better to make less trouble for Nanhua in the future. Remember your guarantee, two hundred years."

Luo Yinfan frowned slightly.

"Unexpectedly, Master Uncle has collected herbs," Yu Du hurriedly changed the subject with a smile, and turned to the colorfully dressed female disciple next to him, "Since the medicine is ready, let the real pearls be used for refining."

Luo Yinfan rarely remembered and asked the female disciple, "What's your name?"

The female disciple flattered, "Yan Zhenzhu, a third hundred and sixty-sixth generation disciple of Nanhua, pays respects to His Royal Highness."

"Three hundred and sixty-sixth generation," Luo Yinfan said lightly, and suddenly said, "Are you willing to stay in Chonghua Palace and take care of Shishu Chongzi for me?"

As soon as these words came out, before anyone else did, Chong Zi on the bed had already fainted first.

His Highness is really keeping it private! Yan Zhenzhu's eyes were straight.

Yu Du coughed and said, "Zhenzhu?"

Yan Zhenzhu came back to his senses and nodded like pecking at rice, "I am willing, this disciple is willing."

I've never looked after the kids because I have a lot of day to day affairs so there might be a shortage." 

This was what Luo Yinfan was worried about. Hearing this, he was relieved, "If you run into any trouble, you can stay for a while."

Yan Zhenzhu simply nodded.

Chongzi's face completely collapsed.

Mu Yu quickly took the Ganoderma ludicidum, and Yu Du left with Min Yunzhong after a few more words.

The immortal bone has not yet been obtained, how can his mortal body bear the demonic aura of Wan Jie. This time Chongzi was seriously injured. It took him half a year to completely recover and only after half a year of recovery was he finally able to recover his vitality. Chongzi also really liked it. Privately, he always called her sister regardless of seniority. Of course, apart from being grateful, Chongzi also felt more depressed. With Yan Zhenzhu around, Luo Yinfan never hugged her again. He could no longer rely on Luo Yinfan as usual

“Chongzi, is it true that it was Venerable Demon who hurt you?

“You really didn't see what he was like?”

After getting along for so long, Chongzi had discovered that beneath the serious surface of this sister, there was actually the heart of a gossiper. Hearing that, she rolled her eyes and whispered, "I lied to them, I actually saw it."

"Really? What's he like?"

"He... he looks very handsome, even more handsome than the teacher."

Yan Zhenzhu's almond eyes widened immediately, "Really?"

Chongzi said with a smile, "I lied. Who told you to always ask me questions? In this world there is no one who is more handsome than the teacher. There is definitely no one who looks exactly like him."

Yan Zhenzhu twisted his face, "You dare to trick me?"

Chongzi begged for mercy, and recalled, "But he is really handsome. Although I didn't see his face, but his hair was so pretty and red."

Yan Zhenzhu was stunned, "So the legend is true." He gradually calmed down, shook his head, and muttered, "How could it be like that..."

Chongzi was also shocked, "That woman is obviously very mean to him. Why should he save her?"

Yan Zhenzhu sighed, “He is Gong Keran of the Changsheng palace. Wan Jie not only risked countless times for him, but also made his subordinates do stupid things. Wan Jie Demon Palace was famous for this, and he neglected his subordinates to save a single person. woman. Who wants to follow the absurd Demon Venerable, so when the Jiuyou Demon Venerable appeared in the world and opened the Jiuyou Demon Palace in the sky, the group of demons had a new residence, and they turned their backs on him and ran to the Jiuyou Demon Palace. Wan Jie didn't care, and moved Wan Jie Land to another place by himself."

Chongzi still didn't understand, "Gong Keran was so mean to him. He should ignore him."

Yan Zhenzhu said, “What makes people the most helpless and hurts the most in the world is none other than the word 'love'. Wan Jie likes Gong Keran. Even though she has high magical power, she can never get past this situation, and that is because her inability to pass this emotional test."

Chongzi said, "Love relationship?"

Yan Zhenzhu smiled strangely, "You are still young and don't understand."

Chongzi pushed him away.

Yan Zhenzhu said, "After a few years, you will understand when you grow up. If you have feelings for someone, you don't care whether he is good or bad. If he is happy, you will be happy. If he is happy. Unhappy, you will sad . She is in danger , you will try your best to save her , but she might not do the same to you . If she really did the same to you , then it would be the luckiest thing in the world . "

Chongzi held his cheek, "It's like me and Master."

Yan Zhenzhu laughed out loud, "Yeah, haha, it's just... a little different, two people love each other, and they can get married."

Thirteen-year-old Chongzi first found the key, and said "Ah", his face flushed.

***

At that time, Chongzi's injuries had already healed, but as the first disciple who served and lived in Chonghua Palace, Yan Zhenzhu was very happy. He was willing to leave early, because Chongzi felt indebted and it was difficult to take the initiative to mention it. This recovery actually took another half a year, until one day Luo Yinfan personally confirmed that Chongzi had fully recovered, and thanked Yan Zhenzhu for the Qingxin Pill, he reluctantly left, and did not forget to instruct Chongzi to contact him if Something happens.

After sending Yan Zhenzhu away, Chongzi quickly dashed into the main hall.

Luo Yinfan stood by the table with his hands behind his back, watching Linghe organize his papers.

It seems that nothing in this world can change the expression on that handsome face, always so peaceful and calm, clothes like snow, long hair like ink, not abrupt, like a pair of elegant ink paintings, gentle and detached.

Chongzi really wanted to rush over and hug her like before, but for some reason, standing at the door, seeing a familiar figure from a distance, he couldn't do that anymore, he felt uncomfortable and nervous.

Luo Yinfan had already found him, "Chong'er?"

He had been naughty and often mocked Linghe before so Linghe glanced at him and walked to the other side of the bookshelf.

Chongzi shook his head, finally returned to normal, and ran quickly, "Master."

"How did you get here?"

"I'm here to accompany Master."

The first thing that little disciple did when he was injured was serve him? Luo Yinfan was slightly moved, took the tea and put it in the case, "Your injury hasn't fully recovered. You don't need to come here, go back to your room and rest."

Chongzi refused, "It will heal quickly."

Luo Yinfan had no choice but to let it go.

Since then, Chongzi has strengthened his resolve to accompany his teacher in cultivating the immortal bones. He worked hard day and night to study. After two years, he had actually achieved a small feat. However, Luo Yinfan did not have much joy when he learned about this, but sighed at the moon every night, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The only normal thing is for teacher and student to become more like teacher and student.

Ever since the injury, Chongzi never had the chance to hug his master. Now a fifteen year old girl, it was even more impossible to do that. The memory of that hug seems to have become a long-term dream, the softest hidden in the heart, the warmest place.

Fifteen years old, the smart and cute little girl has grown into a young girl, with a tall stature. He was still not as fat as Wen Lingzhi, but he had a light appearance, fluttering like a feather. The eyes of the disciples started to change from liking to admiring him. There have been many people who have paid attention before and after, but it's a pity that Chongzi was dedicated to accompanying his teacher and didn't pay attention to him. What he cared about was that the Nanhua faction would recruit new disciples in three months. Disciples have to face exams, and according to sect rules, every disciple has to participate.

Wen Lingzhi smiled when he saw it, but he meant to see a joke. When he was accepted as a disciple by Venerable Chonghua, he was very proud, but in the end he couldn't even recognize the art of the sword.

Luo Yinfan had never mentioned this matter, and did not seem to have thought about the dilemma this disciple who knew no magic would face.

Until three days before the competition, Chongzi went to Liuhe Hall desperately to see Mu Yu, and suddenly saw many female disciples laughing and passing by.

“Brother Qin has come down the mountain!”
