Chong Zi - Chapter 14 : The Lingtai Seal

Among the 3,000 disciples who died tragically, there was an immortal elder brother! Chongzi clasped his fists and said, "The person who stole the magic sword was Wan Jie?"

Luo Yinfan said, “There are rumors that in less than a year, Wan Jie's cultivation base has improved greatly since he became the Demon King. What is certain is that he has borrowed the magic power of the Ni Lun Sword, but he has never personally admitted it… "

He suddenly stopped and was silent for a long time before he spoke again, “Chong'er, being a devil or not a devil is just a matter of our minds. If we don't have evil thoughts in our hearts, even if we were born with a devil's aura, even devils are powerless. . Wan Jie has killed like a thorn in recent years, not to mention the 3,000 people killed. He has also been enchanted and must be punished. And you, it is good not to forget your generosity, but also remember that the desire for revenge will make you paranoid. That is devil."

Chongzi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Master's teachings, Chong'er understands."

Luo Yinfan nodded, turned and left.

"Teacher..."

"What else?"

"Teacher went to Kunlun this time, when will teacher come back?"

"At least three months, at most half a year."

Chongzi was silent for a moment, then said, "The Demon King is very powerful, Master... be careful."

Luo Yinfan berkata, "Yes".

Chongzi muttered, "Can't I really go with the teacher..."

The long and thick eyelashes fluttered, maybe because of the overcast atmosphere in the forest, it looked a little wet, and it looked very dark.

Seeing her like this, Luo Yinfan sighed.

In the past, this teacher and disciple were almost always together, and they were seldom separated. Now leaving him alone, there is a bit of reluctance. Just as parents mistrust their children, chicks cannot always hide and live under their wing. In the future his devilish aura would be purified and Chongzi would still come out of Chonghua Palace no matter what. So Luo Yinfan didn't feel good for him if the little disciple relied on him so much.

"Practice the Lingtai Seal with your heart, and don't let the teacher worry about you." He lightly dropped these words and turned around to leave.

The white robe dragged for a long time, floating between the purple-black bamboo poles, and finally disappeared.

Chongzi stood there blankly, looking like he was about to cry.

On the morning of the second day, Luo Yinfan actually left for Kunlun, and he was not allowed to see her off. Chongzi stood on the top of Zizhu and looked at it for a long time, then returned to the bamboo forest dejectedly. He practiced the Lingtai Seal with Suān Ní. Speaking of which, this Lingtai Seal is worthy of being an extremely good defensive technique in the extreme heaven method. No matter how talented Chongzi is, without the slightest foundation, it is extremely difficult to practice, and the effect is slower than that of a slug. 

Shǒushān Suān Ní was instructed, perhaps because she was too lonely on weekdays so she actually practiced with her in high spirits for almost half a month. It's a shame that the progress is still not great. After all, Yu Du and Min Yunzhong didn't care about him.

In the afternoon, Chongzi returned from training with Suān Ní. As soon as he walked to the door, Yan Zhenzhu's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, so he rushed to the bottom of the peak, and saw Yan Zhenzhu waiting there.

Luo Yinfan said, “The Lingtai Seal originally used the opponent's strength to counterattack. So when the opponent is strong, the counterattack will be strong, when the opponent is weak, the counterattack will be weak, and when the opponent is empty, the counterattack will be empty. . You try once.”

Chongzi secretly thought about the spell, and tried it again.

This time, instead of being let out, Suān Ní held her head high and snorted at her in disdain.

Luo Yinfan was not surprised. Extreme Heaven Method, within the rules of the sect is that you can only cultivate if you have the position of an immortal. This young disciple doesn't have the basics yet, so it will be even more difficult to practice. "When the teacher is away, remember to practice more. Later when the teacher returns, the teacher will check your homework."

Chongzi agrees.

Luo Yinfan took a few steps and instructed, "The Lingtai Seal can only be used if the other party uses an assassination plan first. Although it can't hurt anyone. But if it's not a critical moment, it's best not to use it let alone spread it around.

"I know."

"You stay here and train with Suān Ní."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chongzi quickly chased after him, "Master"

Luo Yinfan stopped and turned around to take a look.

Chongzi hesitated for a moment, and said, “Master went to Kunlun this time to retrieve the Ibis Sword from Demon King Wan Jie's hands. I remember teacher saying that three thousand Immortal Sect disciples died tragically on the way to escort the magic sword. -The boy who saved me might as well be there. I wonder why?"

Luo Yinfan did not hide it from him, and said lightly, "Ten years ago, when Demon Venerable Ni Lun led the demons to attack Nanhua. My teacher, your ancestor, had been framed before, and his cultivation had been greatly reduced. The old man tried his best to fought it and knocked Demon King Ni Lin into retreat by a hair's breadth, but he ended up dying from serious injuries."

Chongzi said, "It seems that Demon Venerable Ni Lun isn't as powerful as the legends."

Luo Yinfan shook his head, “Ni Lun was His Highness the first Demon Lord in the history of the Demon Race to cultivate into the Heavenly Demon. He restored the Demon Palace, annexed the Demon Realm and in the end he attacked Nanhua. He lost because of that battle. her magic power into the Demonic Sword Ni Lun."

Chongzi was shocked, "Why did he do this? Didn't he ask for his own death?"

Luo Yinfan said, “Demon King Ni Lun is a devil's body. If that sword has half of its magic power, it will find its own host. No matter who gets it, it will definitely bring chaos to the Six Realms.”

Chongzi was still confused after thinking about it, "But if he wins and destroys the Six Realms Monument, this Six Realms is the demon world. Where is the problem?"

Luo Yinfan didn't reply, “This sword is very evil, and no one in Xianmen has cultivated the Mind Mirror Technique so we can't refine it. So three thousand disciples were sent to escort it to Kunlun to freeze it at the bottom of Kunlun. The sword was frozen at the bottom. The Kunlun Mountains and was guarded by the Kunlun Sect until three years later, Western Buddhism sent a non-square pearl piece. The headmaster negotiated with the heads of the various factions and decided that the three thousand disciples would still go to Kunlun to pick up the sword and escort them back to Nanhua. wanted to try to purify, but an accident happened halfway. Three thousand disciples tragically died overnight, and Demon Lord Ni Lun's sword was stolen."

Among the 3,000 disciples who died tragically, there was an immortal elder brother! Chongzi clasped his fists and said, "The person who stole the magic sword was Wan Jie?"

Luo Yinfan said, “There are rumors that in less than a year, Wan Jie's cultivation base has improved greatly since he became the Demon King. What is certain is that he has borrowed the magic power of the Ni Lun Sword, but he has never personally admitted it… "

He suddenly stopped and was silent for a long time before he spoke again, “Chong'er, being a devil or not a devil is just a matter of our minds.

Wan Jie has killed like a thorn in recent years, not to mention the 3,000 people killed. He has also been enchanted and must be punished. And you, it is good not to forget your generosity, but also remember that the desire for revenge will make you paranoid. That is devil."

Chongzi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Master's teachings, Chong'er understands."

Luo Yinfan nodded, turned and left.

"Teacher..."

"What else?"

"Teacher went to Kunlun this time, when will teacher come back?"

"At least three months, at most half a year."

Chongzi was silent for a moment, then said, "The Demon King is very powerful, Master... be careful."

In the afternoon, Chongzi returned from training with Suān Ní. As soon as he walked to the door, Yan Zhenzhu's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, so he rushed to the bottom of the peak, and saw Yan Zhenzhu waiting there.

"Finally you came down."

"Zhenzhu brother, why can't I find you recently?"

Yan Zhenzhu said, "Zhangjiao sent me to Qinghua Palace to deliver a letter, and I just came back. But tomorrow morning, your sister-in-law and I will go to Kunlun with Shishu Qin and the others, so I came to see you as soon as possible."

Chongzi became more and more depressed, sitting on a rock without speaking.

Yan Zhenzhu said, "I know, you want to go, right?"

Chongzi was weak, "Master asked me to stay."

Yan Zhenzhu said, "Your Majesty is just afraid that something might happen to you. This time, the sect has sent us over 100 disciples. Shishu Qin will take us there. Why don't you go too and see the Kunlun Wonderland? As long as you follow us and don't run around, everything will be fine."

Chongzi's eyes lit up, and then darkened. "This... is it okay? The headmaster won't agree."

Even though Yan Zhenzhu was older than Chongzi, he was somewhat clumsy by nature. He had a wish, and where did he remember to weigh in, he simply advised him, "When has Headmaster ever taken care of you? Not to mention he wouldn't come to Zizhu Peak to check on you. You're only here alone then he'll definitely agree to take you."

Of course Chongzi knew who he was talking about, and hesitated, "He won't agree."

Yan Zhenzhu said, "Try it, if he doesn't agree. There's nothing we can do."

His teacher would definitely be furious if he rushed after him, but he missed him dearly, and was even more worried about him. Chongzi finally decided to give it a try and stood up abruptly, "Let's go, I'll go see him."

As soon as the words fell, a young man in white appeared not far away with a serene expression on his face and elegant and serene steps.

"I'm coming soon. I'll go first." Yan Zhenzhu smiled and pushed Chongzi away, then ignored him. He went to see Qin Ke seriously, and made some excuses to leave.

When he was far away, Chongzi ran forward, "Brother Qin. Good morning."

Qin Ke glanced at him and spat out two words, "No."

Chongzi paused, "You know what I'm going to say?"

Putting on a pleasant face, what else could he say, Qin Ke did not answer.

Chongzi was even more speechless, and after a long while he still opened his mouth and begged, "There are so many people here. Can you quietly take me?"

Qin Ke said, "Too dangerous."

Chongzi said, "I'll just follow you. If I don't run around then nothing will happen."

Long eyebrows raised slightly, Qin Ke ignored them, calling back Ba Huang from midair, “I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning so I came to see you first. "

Seeing that he was about to leave with his sword, Chongzi became anxious and dragged his arm, "Brother, brother Qin, I will secretly go with you. So my teacher won't find me. How?"

In the past, Mu Yu was used to him being like this, and he often responded to his requests, but Qin Ke was different, his face turning cold, “Even if I agree to this matter, Shishu Mu will personally send us down the mountain tomorrow morning. Can't he recognize you when you're in our midst? Stop whining!"

Where is Chongzi willing to say, "I want to go!"

Qin Ke didn't speak anymore, only tugged at his sleeve.

Chongzi grabbed his sleeve again, "Didn't you say being with you then I have nothing to fear?"

Qin Ke couldn't be bothered by her, so he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Forget it. I can't hide this matter. I'll discuss it with Shishu Mu. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Chongzi nodded happily and let him go.

***

As the sun goes down, the market in the afternoon is no longer so lively, but the shops on both sides have not closed yet, and there are still many pedestrians.

The first was a boy in splendid clothes, with strong brows and very unrestrained steps.

Two beautiful girls followed him, and the girls also had swords on their waists.

The young master paused and turned around to discuss with the other older disciples, "I have something to do. Why doesn't my brother take them to find an inn to rest? Remember to ask two more people to go out to find out. I'm afraid there are people -people from Jiuyou Demon Palace nearby."

The disciple agreed with a smile and asked no further questions.

The two girls looked around and said angrily, "How can anyone live in an inn like this!"

The young master coaxed, "I'll go out. You all go to the inn with big brother first. I want to buy things and I'll come later."

As he spoke, two girls walked out of the shop next to him.

One was slightly older, in his twenties, with a good appearance, wearing a large red robe and a purple-black robe, holding a long sword in his hand.

The other was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl, wearing an ordinary wide white robe, her body was much plumper than the woman in front, and she was holding a beautiful silver short staff in her small hand.

The young master glanced a few times, as if to confirm something, and called out loudly, "Aren't you Senior Brother Yan of Nanhua?"

The two girls actually stopped and looked to the side.

Seeing it was him, the elder hurriedly smiled and said, “Palace Master Zhuo Hao, what a coincidence!”

It turned out that the two women were Yan Zhenzhu and Chongzi.

On that day, Chongzi was determined to go to Kunlun to see Luo Yinfan. Yang Qin Ke helped to mediate with Mu Yu, but Mu Yu didn't mind after hearing it. He only told Chongzi to be careful and not to run on the street. He got up early the next day and even drove her down the mountain alone. There are already many Nanhua disciples, and Chongzi rarely descends from Zizhu Peak. Although several disciples had their eyes on him, no one dared to enter Chonghua Palace to check it out, so they didn't meet him.

It had been two full days since he left Nanhua. Qin Ke and his other disciples with swords rushed to Kunlun. The trip was in a hurry. It was already late today, so he found two inns and stayed there. Because Yan Zhenzhu was thinking about shopping. He insisted on pulling Chongzi out with him, but he ran into an acquaintance.

Yan Zhenzhu remembered, "Chongzi, this is Qinghua Palace master Zhuo Hao. You were in Qinghua Palace back then. Have you met him?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. "Chongzi? That little pretty girl?"

Chongzi already recognized him, secretly screaming badly.

Sure enough, the young master looked at him with great interest for a long time. His eyebrows were raised high, and the smile on his mouth became stronger and wider.

When he met those evil eyes, Chongzi's scalp was numb, and the person in front of him was no longer the young man who made fun of him and called him "Little Miss" in Qinghua Palace!

He quickly looked away, looked around, pulled Yan Zhenzhu up again, and whispered, "It's getting late, let's hurry. If we don't go back, Senior Brother Qin will be worried."

But Yan Zhenzhu didn't understand his intention, she reminded herself, "You forgot? When you went to Qinghua Palace to celebrate birthday with His Majesty, you were seriously injured. This is Palace Lord Zhuo's beloved son. Don't you recognize him?"

The young master pretended to give a greeting, "If you see this younger sister, Zhuo Hao must give a greeting."

Chongzi didn't bother talking to him, "You guys speak slowly. I'll be back first." After that, he didn't care about Yan Zhenzhu, he turned his head and left.

"Hey, Chongzi, you..." Yan Zhenzhu was inexplicable, stamped his feet, and smiled apologetically at Zhuo Hao.

Zhuo Hao smiled like a spring breeze, and pointed to the disciple beside him to introduce, “Senior Brother Yan, this is Senior Brother Ren from our Qinghua Palace. the older brother from your school.”

Chongzi's face darkened when he heard it, and the soles of his feet slipped even faster.

Back then, when he went to Qinghua Palace with Luo Yinfan to celebrate his father's birthday, the huge turtle embarrassed him in public. Before leaving, he kept it just for her. According to this person's temperament, how could he give up so easily? Judging from the look on her face, she definitely had the intention to play a trick on him.

There were still many pedestrians around, Zhuo Hao didn't rush to consider his attitude, he just quickened his pace and said with a smile, "I don't eat people. What are you doing? Why is little sister running so fast. Wait for me."

The footsteps got closer and closer, Chongzi ran frantically, and when he saw the inn, he walked in and went straight to Qin Ke's room to escape, "Brother Qin! Senior Brother Qin!"

"Let's see where you are hiding," Zhuo Hao finally hummed softly, and stopping in front of him with no one around, he stretched out his hand to squeeze his face as he spoke. "This young girl looks different from when you were a child. After three years of separation, the little girl has become even more beautiful. Why did you run away when you saw your future husband?"

Chongzi turned his face and stomped his feet angrily.

Being stepped on by him, Zhuo Hao didn't show the slightest bit of pain, instead he laughed, "You haven't learned magic yet? Come on, let me teach you tricks first..."

Before he finished speaking, the door to the room ahead suddenly opened. A young man in white stood at the door, his expression calm, and his voice precise, "What's that sound?"

Seeing the savior, Chongzi rushed over while Zhuo Hao was in a daze, "Brother Qin, this person is very strange. He always follows me."

Qin Ke silently blocked him from behind.

Zhuo Hao looked at him, and then looked at Chongzi behind him, his smile gradually disappeared.

Things became quiet.

Qin Ke looked at him a few times and said first, "Is Your Highness from Qinghua Palace?"

As the young master of Qinghua Palace, Zhuo Hao has seen all kinds of grand scenes since he was a child. He quickly calmed down and saluted, "Qinghua Palace Zhuo Hao pays his respects."

After a pause, he looked at the Ba Huang sword in Qin Ke's hand again, and smiled sincerely, "I heard from my father that there were two peerless swords passed down by Nanhua Ancestor. One is Liuhe and the other is Ba Huang. I saw that what what big brother is holding is very similar to Ba Huang's sword. Could it be Senior Brother Qin, Teacher Yu's favorite disciple? On my father's birthday, School Head Yu made a special trip to send Jiuzhuan Jindan. He likes him very much. He often says to me to say that when I see all the brothers in the future, I must thank the old man on his behalf."

These words were said cleverly, secretly identified his identity, and politely gave the other party a face.

Qin Ke looked at Chongzi, and suddenly showed his face, "I Qin Ke have long heard of Palace Lord Zhuo Hao's name."

At this time, Zhuo Hao didn't look aside, and smiled like a spring flower, "One day my father received a letter from the Headmaster of Kunlun Yuxu School, and he rushed out first, and my brothers and I are now ordered to go to help. Just happened to pass by here and met little sister. I felt familiar and recognized her so I came over to take a look. Senior Brother Qin must have been ordered to go to Kunlun."

Chongzi hurriedly tugged at Qin Ke's arm, signaling him to ignore him.

Qin Ke didn't seem to notice, and nodded with a smile. "Qinghua and Nanhua have always been friendly, it should be like this. I don't know which faction you live in?"

Zhuo Hao said, "I saw an inn not far away, and I thought they were going there."

Qin Ke nodded, "That's good."

The Immortal Gate was sent to capture Wan Jie for the purpose of reclaiming Demon Lord Ni Lun's magic sword. Jiuyou Demon Palace must have received the news, he was worried that there would be secret surveillance of the demon clan along the way. Although the surrounding cities are also guarded by Immortal Sect disciples and ready to respond at any time, demons must not be dispatched, but those traps are indispensable. Even though they didn't send demons but there might be a trap. Chongzi is the only one in the group who can't do magic. If they really started, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of them. If Qinghua and Nanhua work together, then the strength is greatly improved, and there is no need to worry about any danger.

He didn't make a sound, and gave way to the side, "I happened to meet brother Zhuo today, it is a great fortune, please come in." Then he instructed Chongzi, "I will discuss some matters with Senior Brother Zhuo. You should return to your room and rest first."

This was clearly meant to help him out, Chongzi heard that as if he had been granted amnesty, he agreed and slipped away.

On the second day, the two factions left together, Qin Ke, Zhuo Hao, and there were also a few senior disciples Nanhua and Qinghua, who were both from the immortal sword sect, walking in front.

Chongzi and Yan Zhenzhu deliberately walked behind. The two of them were talking when a figure flashed and stopped beside Chongzi. After taking a closer look, Zhuo Hao stepped back from the front.

Anling's sword shone with an ancient golden light, and he stood majestically on the sword, bowed his body to Chongzi, and smiled slyly: "Little sister is not tired? Why don't I take you out for a walk?"

Chongzi was facing down now, pretending not to hear.

Yan Zhenzhu was a visitor, so how could she not see his trick and stared at him, "Palace Lord Zhuo is very kind, showing hospitality in public. Do you still have many flowers and plants in Qinghua Palace?" As he spoke, he pointed to a group of female Qinghua disciples behind him. "So many eyes are staring, I don't know how many bottles of vinegar have been turned over, but don't let our little sister be bullied."

Zhuo Hao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yan, please don't blame me. They are my sisters."

Yan Zhenzhu refused to let him go at all, "I heard that Young Master Zhuo Hao likes to recognize his sister everywhere since he was a child, and now he wants to trick someone."

Recalling what he said when he boasted that he had many younger sisters, Chongzi tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Zhuo Hao didn't change his face, "I don't know what Senior Brother Yan said. In Zhuo Hao's eyes, how can younger sister compare to others, she..."

Afraid that she would say "Little miss", Chongzi cut her off in a panic, "Don't talk nonsense, who are you ?!"

Zhuo Hao said inexplicably, "Junior Brother is the beloved disciple of Venerable Chonghua, isn't he?"

Yan Zhenzhu let out a "ga" sound, wiggled his mouth and laughed.

Chongzi's face turned red, and he was speechless.

Yan Zhenzhu looked at the hint, "Palace Master Zhuo is really good, let him take you out for a walk."

Chongzi rushed forward himself, "Who asked him to take me out for a walk?!"

As soon as she fled not far, Zhuo Hao caught up with her and laughed in a low voice, "You haven't been able to practice swordsmanship in these three years. I know this little girl is very strong but I'm just afraid that you'll be tired after running for so long. So let it be your husband took you."

Chongzi couldn't get rid of her, so he kicked her angrily, "Who's your wife!"

Zhuo Hao dodged, and took advantage of the situation to hug her waist. "If you know how to use a staff, why can't you do magic? Come to your husband and I will let you fight..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hand had pulled Chongzi away.

Chongzi hid behind the person happily, "Senior Sister Qin."

Qin Ke ignored him, looked at Zhuo Hao coldly, and said in a calm tone, "I didn't see Senior Brother Zhuo just now. Turns out here, several senior brothers from your faction seem to have important matters waiting for senior brother Zhuo to discuss."

Zhuo Hao looked at the two of them for a while, then smiled, "Alright, I'll go take a look first. Thank you."

When he left, Chongzi let out a long sigh.

Qin Ke said, "How do you know him?"

Chongzi told him about the past, omitting the "little lady", and whispered as he spoke, "I drew two turtles on the back so he still remembers me. So now he must be thinking about how he can make fun of me."

Who will hold a grudge for the turtle for so long? Qin Ke glanced at him, and his sword rushed forward.
