Zhou Xuan was naturally overjoyed. When he saw the old mountain master in the cave, his smile froze. Even when he heard the old mountain master's voice, there was no relief.
Because he saw the face and figure of the old mountain master.
At this moment.
The old mountain master is still sitting under the mountain wall in front of him, wearing simple white linen clothes, but he is no longer as energetic as before, and can even be said to be a little sluggish. His face is withered and his body is thin. He is nothing like an ordinary old man. the difference.
No……
It should be said that he is an old man who is very old and seriously ill.
If this scene is shown to other people, no one will believe that the extremely weak old man in front of him is actually one of the few people standing on the top of Jiuzhou - even Zhou Xuan is a little bit dissatisfied. I can't believe it!
In the end what happened?
Zhou Xuan's smile completely froze, and he stood at the entrance of the cave, not even daring to step in. He looked at the old mountain master at this moment, and felt an indescribable shock.
"come in."
The old mountain master spoke slowly and showed a smile.
Many senior fellow apprentices also stood at the door, looking at the old mountain master with more complicated eyes.
"Go in, Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Cangqiong looked helpless and spoke in a suppressed voice.
Only then did Zhou Xuan gradually come back to his senses, and slowly came to the front of the old mountain master. His lips could not stop trembling, he knelt on his knees and bowed: "My disciple has made the master worried."
"Just come back."
The old mountain master repeated these four words again, obviously with a smile.
"Get up. Failure to protect you is the teacher's responsibility and has nothing to do with you. Get up."
Zhou Xuan stood up tremblingly, feeling speechless.
Li Cangqiong pondered for a moment and then spoke in a low voice: "Junior brother, in order to check your safety, the master used a spell before and barely sensed a trace of your breath. He confirmed that your condition is okay and reassures us. .”
"Master..."
Zhou Xuan clenched his fists, with mixed feelings in his heart. He understood what the senior brother meant - the old mountain master was old and could not act rashly. He used the spell forcefully, which caused the aura to extremely decline, which made him become so old and... weak.
Zhou Xuan blamed himself endlessly and was speechless.
He knew that the more the old mountain master took action, the less stable his physical body was on the verge of collapse. However, as he joined Qiyun Holy Mountain, he had already made the old mountain master take action twice in a row, once to deal with the Divine Eagle. Pavilion, once is now.
He couldn't help but blame himself, and his mood reached rock bottom.
"Don't listen to your senior brother's nonsense. The state of being a master has already been exhausted. He can't live for a few years. The use of magic will have little effect. I don't blame you for this."
The old mountain master scolded, and then smiled very gently.
Zhou Xuan was speechless and could only bow and bow: "This disciple will definitely become stronger soon. He will be so strong that he doesn't need to worry about senior brother and senior sister, and won't let you worry about him."
The old mountain master was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with relief.
Li Cangqiong and others also looked at Zhou Xuan with admiration. Only with such a character could he be worthy of being their junior brother.
Zhou Xuan did not stay in the cave for too long and said goodbye to the old mountain master soon. According to the senior brother, the old mountain master's current condition is really very bad. Just talking is very troublesome. In the end, It is good to practice meditation and stabilize the mind and soul.
therefore.
Unless something serious happens, outsiders are best not to disturb you.
Zhou Xuan followed Li Cangqiong and others out of the deep pool, but his mood was still heavy. Regardless of whether the old mountain master became so weak because of himself or not, seeing his master looking so weak, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
It's like seeing a big mountain about to collapse.
Zhou Xuan enjoyed his time at Qiyun Holy Mountain very much, and regarded the old mountain master as his true master and respected him extremely. However, he never thought that in just a few months, the old mountain master would be With this look, the building will collapse.
Li Cangqiong noticed Zhou Xuan's expression, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.
"Junior brother, you don't have to think too much."
"Master, he has lived for too long, and he suffered some hidden injuries that cannot be cured. Even if he did not take action for you, he is still approaching his birthday. I just said this to you, not to make you think too much. .”
Li Cangqiong patted Zhou Xuan's shoulder with a comforting tone.
"I just want to tell you that Master, my dear old man, misses you very much in my heart, that's all."
"Um……"
Zhou Xuan was still a little uncomfortable and murmured: "I just didn't expect that in just a few months, Master, he would have aged so fast. It was too fast."
Li Cangqiong couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this.
"Not a few months."
Chen Mo spoke at the right time and shook his head: "As early as when you worshiped in my Qiyun Holy Mountain, Master was already like this, and it was difficult to cheer up. The reason why the Master you saw before was relatively normal was because Master Please do it deliberately.”
"In order to leave a good impression on you, Master deliberately took the trouble to stabilize his aura. In fact, in most cases, Master looks like what you just saw. I don't blame you."
Zhou Xuan's heart was shaken, which was even more unpleasant.
If it weren't for the trouble, the old mountain master would definitely maintain that appearance all the time, but it was because of himself that he deliberately bothered him, which would definitely have a certain impact on the old mountain master.
"Is there no way to extend Master's lifespan?"
Zhou Xuan couldn't believe it and asked in a low voice: "Can we just watch the master pass away and become a human being?"
"You can't say there is a way, nor can you say there isn't."
Fifth Senior Sister Qi Hongyu had a trace of pain in her eyes. She slowly shook her head and sighed: "Master's cultivation level is too high. Most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures used for nourishment have no effect on Master. The only way to prolong life is one."
"any solution?"
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but ask, he really didn't want to see his master leave the world without any solution.
"Improve your cultivation."
Li Cangqiong continued in a low voice: "If the master's cultivation can be further improved, the life span will also increase, and it will definitely increase a lot. The problem is... this is impossible, the master's cultivation Because, it’s too high.”
Zhou Xuan clenched his fists, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
He really wanted to help the old mountain master to further improve his cultivation, but how difficult it was. It didn't take much to think about it, but he knew that the old mountain master's cultivation must be extremely powerful. There were definitely not many people in the entire Kyushu who could compare with it. .
The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to improve.
In this case, how can one improve his cultivation level?
Zhou Xuan was in a heavy heart, only hating that his cultivation level was too weak and he couldn't be of any help at all.
