Xiao Hei was stunned. Unexpectedly, in order to let the old Taoist priest come down the mountain, Qingyu made a promise that seemed impossible for her to fulfill.
It seems that in the end this matter will have to fall on him.
So, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Like his brother, he hated making terms with others.
My brother would always greet me, but he would never ask for any conditions.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei looked at Qingyu beside him and asked quietly: "Sister Cousin Yu, what conditions did you agree to, senior?"
At worst, he agreed to the conditions of the old Taoist priest for Qingyu, but there was no need to consider the matter of becoming a disciple.
He didn't want to push Qingyu into the fire pit, even though the two were not biological siblings.
When Qingyu saw that Xiao Hei's expression was wrong, she could only reply truthfully: "There is also a little Taoist priest on the mountain, whose cultivation is worse than mine before. When I got excited, I promised him..."
Xiao Hei immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that you are such a straight-tempered person that you sold yourself out without even thinking about it.
Fortunately, this matter is not a problem for him. Thinking about it, a little Taoist priest, like Qingyu, will not affect the balance of this world.
Once upon a time, Xiao Hei became like Li Xiuyuan, having to be cautious in everything.
Thinking about it in the blink of an eye, the old Taoist priest in front of me is indeed good. For the sake of his disciple's cultivation, he is willing to accompany Qingyu down the mountain to see him. It is not easy to meet a mortal with inconvenient legs and no cultivation.
Feeling relieved, Xiao Hei smiled faintly and said, "This is the last time. I won't do it next time."
The old Taoist priest was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xiao Hei's tone when talking to Qing Yu was the same as his own, which clearly meant that the Tao should not be taught lightly.
Thinking of this, I became even more curious about Xiao Hei.
I couldn't help but ask: "I see that you have no cultivation at all. What is the reason for this?"
Xiao Hei laughed when he heard it, pointed to the sky and said, "I was pretty good at first. I learned some skills from my brother, but then I offended him and ended up like this."
He also knew that, not to mention himself, even his brother’s cultivation was imprisoned by God, wasn’t he?
Afraid that the old Taoist priest would blame Qingyu, Xiao Hei followed up and said: "Since Sister Qingyu agreed on my behalf, I will help the little Taoist priest."
After speaking, she looked at Qingyu and frowned and said, "Remember, when the fate is exhausted, even the empress will be powerless."
Afraid that Qingyu would go on endlessly, she had to explain her words in advance.
From now on, as long as he returns to the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty, he will have to push all the responsibilities onto his brother.
Qingyu also knew that she was careless this time and shouldn't make the decision for Xiaohei. Now, even the chance to be the empress was gone.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He looked at Xiao Hei and shouted, "You are so stingy."
Xiao Hei ignored the old Taoist priest beside him who had already made shocking waves in his heart.
Instead, he looked at Qingyu and said seriously: "Be content and be grateful. This is what my brother taught me."
The old Taoist nodded and said quietly: "Be content and be grateful. These are the most basic principles for a monk. Disciple, it seems you have to learn from your brother."
Qingyu curled her lips and shouted softly: "He is so stingy..."
The old Taoist priest became anxious upon hearing this and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Are you scolding me as a teacher?"
Xiao Hei looked at the appearance of the two of them and asked the old man beside him: "Old man, what do you think of my silly sister worshiping the old god as her teacher?"
Children's words are unbridled, and so are the old man's words. Xiao Hei believes in the old man's eyes.
The old man holding a cup of spiritual tea did not expect Xiao Hei to ask his opinion.
At that moment, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is a blessing gained in my previous life. Little girl, you can't miss it."
Xiao Hei clapped his hands gently and said with a smile: "Then let's celebrate this apprenticeship ceremony tonight with three glasses of spiritual wine."
It is better to choose the day than to hit it. Xiao Hei plans to decide the future practice for Qingyu.
One day, he and his brother will leave. It would be a good choice for Qingyu to practice with the old Taoist priest.
When Qingyu heard this, she panicked and said quickly: "I want to send you back to the imperial city, and I want to go home..."
Xiao Hei chuckled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Become a master first. The road to practice is long. From now on, you two, master and disciple, will slowly discuss the matter and I won't have to worry about you anymore."
The old Taoist priest was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said: "That's right, the road to cultivation is long, don't be in a hurry."
In his opinion, as long as the little Taoist priest on the mountain breaks through to the realm of golden elixir, he will leave Qingniu Town and follow his sister and brother to the imperial city.
Who says practice must be in the mountains?
Qingyu looked at the appearance of the two people, then glanced at the smiling old man, and couldn't help but sigh.
He said quietly: "Why do I feel like you sold me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei's expression changed and he said seriously: "You decide for yourself, I might leave here tomorrow."
When Qingyu heard this, she felt even more panicked. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Hei spread his hands and replied helplessly: "Where my brother goes, of course I go."
…
Witnessed by a pair of old men in Qingniu Town, Qingyu toasted the old Taoist priest with spiritual wine and then kowtowed three times, which was regarded as a complete apprenticeship ceremony.
Xiao Hei didn't expect that he was just doing the Queen a favor and went to see the outside of Danzhou City.
In the end, due to a strange combination of circumstances, he helped Qingyu break through the Golden Elixir realm, and also found a powerful old Taoist priest for her to be her master.
After entering the golden elixir, Qingyu realized that her own ability was far from enough under Xiao Hei's persuasion these days.
After tasting the sweetness, she naturally wanted to break through to a higher realm.
But the Empress was so focused on the Emperor that even her own cultivation fell behind.
After much deliberation, she finally had no choice but to trust Xiao Hei and worship the old Taoist priest in front of her as her teacher.
Although this guy was very stingy and didn't take out the elixir in the end, she even wondered if the old Taoist priest had the elixir?
Xiao Hei took out a jar of spiritual wine. After three glasses of wine, the two old men shouted no and wanted to go back to the house to sleep.
Qingyu drank two more drinks and complained that she was too tired from climbing mountains these days, so she went into her room to rest.
Only Xiao Hei and the Taoist priest were left in the living room of the small courtyard.
An oil lamp and a pot of tea guard two idle people.
The old Taoist priest sighed, looked at Xiao Hei and said, "Today, I am afraid that both my master and my disciple will owe you a huge favor."
Qingyu's cup of spiritual tea has given the old Taoist priest hope of breaking through.
A few glasses of spiritual wine at night finally pushed the old Taoist priest to the edge of breaking through. Either tonight or tomorrow, he decided to go back to the Taoist temple on the mountain to break through.
Xiao Hei looked at him and smiled lightly, looking indifferent.
"This is the fate between senior and Qingyu. I just help you two complete the opportunity of master and apprentice in this life. As long as she is good, I can feel at ease."
Xiao Hei looked at the old man in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Whether you believe it or not, I don't expect her to get a magic pill from you, and I don't need any magic pill in the world."
To put it bluntly, Xiao Hei himself is a living elixir, and the elixirs in this world have long been ineffective on him.
After the old monk said something, he understood why he had a fever. It turned out that his cultivation was about to go further, and even this side of heaven could not stop him.
Even if the old Taoist priest uses the elixir from this world to refine the elixir, wouldn't it be more effective than the old monk's green pear?
Based on his friendship with the old monk, he would never open his eyes and not save himself.
The old Taoist priest sighed after hearing this, thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from? Where are you going?"
Xiao Hei was amused and shook his head: "Brother said, don't say it."
"Who is your brother? Where is he? I want to see him."
The old Taoist priest said seriously: "I ask myself, no one in this world can make me break through, unless you don't belong to this world..."
Xiao Hei thought about what the old monk said, and replied after thinking for a while: "My brother went to the desert. I'm afraid it will take a few years to return to Zhouhuang City."
"What about you?" the old Taoist priest continued to ask.
Xiao Hei thought for a while, looked at it and replied seriously: "Logically speaking, I want to leave tomorrow and go to the Imperial City of Northern Qi. But since Sister Qingyu accepts you as my teacher, I want to wait for senior to set off together."
The old Taoist priest weighed it again and again, thinking that if he could break through another realm, the little Taoist priest on the mountain could at least break through several realms in a row.
Although you can't go straight to Jinfan overnight, it does save you ten years of hard training in fear of not being able to go straight.
He can now travel around the outside world, and he also wants to go to the imperial city of Dazhou to see a different world.
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest smiled lightly and said, "Then please wait for me for a few days. After I have settled the affairs of the Taoist temple, we will set off together."
Xiao Hei thought about his inconvenience and couldn't help but remind him: "My status is quite special. Aren't you afraid of walking with me, senior?"
The old Taoist priest was shocked when he heard this, looked at him in disbelief and asked: "Is it possible that you are the prince of Zhou Dynasty?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Hei chuckled and said: "It seems to be more serious than that. I am a person wanted by the Imperial Master of Northern Qi. Senior, are you afraid?"
With a bang, a spring thunder fell from the sky, hitting the two of them heavily on the head, and then the spring rain poured down.
Listening to the sound of rain hitting the green tiles, the old Taoist priest asked in disbelief: "Is it possible that the legend is true, and you are the masked man who hurt Gao Long's eyes?"
Xiao Hei chuckled, pointed at his legs and said with a bitter smile: "My legs are thanks to him. Let's retaliate, right?"
After the old Taoist priest got the confirmation from his mouth, he was finally shocked and speechless.
The two of them watched the kettle on the stove making a whining sound, and the old Taoist priest was roaring in his heart.
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
However, Xiao Hei's expression was too calm, so calm that he couldn't believe that the young man in front of him actually blinded Gao Long, the Imperial Master of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
You know, that is a strong man in the distraction realm, a strong man not much different from himself!
He was actually injured in the hands of the boy in front of him who looked to be no more than ten years old.
The old Taoist priest looked at Xiao Hei who picked up the kettle and dropped the tea into it, and said in a solemn voice: "It is said that Gao Long was injured in your hand and his cultivation level fell. Now he is just a monk in the Nascent Soul realm."
Xiao Hei smiled faintly: "To get back to the subject, Sister Qingyu and I were hiding from the rain in the small temple that night. They came in to cause trouble for us... and they wanted our lives."
"I'm afraid of death. I still have two younger sisters at home, so I had no choice but to fight him desperately. In the end, I was the one you saw in your eyes..."
At this point, Xiao Hei didn't tell anyone about his dispute with Hanshan Temple. If he knew that Qingyu couldn't help but tell it, he would probably have to knock on Qingyu's door.
The old Taoist priest looked at him and said seriously: "Do you know that your head is worth ten thousand gold? Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"
The voice of the old Taoist priest was quiet and majestic. If you savor it carefully, it seems that the next moment the old man will chop off his head with a palm, and then take it to the imperial city of Northern Qi to beat the master to receive the reward.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei laughed happily: "I said that I am very afraid of death. If you don't believe me, senior, why don't you give it a try?"
In fact, what he wants to say is that maybe the divine fire that is not under my command suddenly rushes out and makes you blind.
