Chapter 34 [Avengers]
The next day at the solemn school flag-raising ceremony, Tantai Qi, a student in a certain class of senior high school, suddenly laughed loudly for no reason. He ignored warnings many times and continued to laugh. His behavior was bad, which aroused the attention of all the teachers and students in the room.
Later, in the math class, the materials on Tantaiqi's desk contained material that was not suitable for children. He accidentally shook it out and fell to the floor. He was discovered by the whole class on the spot. The female math teacher kicked him out angrily. classroom.
In the physical education class, Tantai Qi accidentally fell while running in a group. It was a bit like a flop. When she fell, she knocked down a girl in the class in front of her and pulled down the girl's sports pants. The girl The scene was extremely painful and emotional, which triggered condemnation from all the girls in the class.
When the girl's parents found out, they rushed to the school angrily and called the police that day. Afterwards, the school punished Tantai Qi for several crimes and gave her a major demerit, and asked her Tantai family to take her back, and suspended her from school the next day.
A few weeks later, on Saturday morning, Ge Xian was jogging in the park, with a white chinchilla lying on his shoulders. It seemed to be dozing, and it could follow the rhythm of his footsteps and still maintain its balance easily.
It was still around six o'clock in the morning, it was almost December, and Ge Xian had been practicing Taoism for almost half a year. This half year had almost changed his life.
Ge Xian does not run very fast, but if you observe carefully, you will find that his steps and body movements follow a wonderful rhythm, like there is a rhythm between movement and stillness called "Tao".
His breathing was long, and sometimes it took more than ten minutes for him to take another breath.
"Zhushu, you should be cautious in the future. Some details are too obvious..." Ge Xian seemed to be talking to the air as he ran.
However, a small female voice sounded: "Master, did Shushu do something wrong and bring trouble to the master?"
"I just asked you to pay more attention to the details." Ge Xian comforted. Shushu immediately understood what he meant, and continued to lower his head to sleep, showing a smile that fell on Totoro, looking very cute.
ah!
A girl's cry came, and Ge Xian had to stop. In fact, he had discovered it earlier, but he had been pretending not to notice it. Who else could it be if it wasn't Xu Mengjie?
Since Xu Mengjie helped him last time, Ge Xian had to fulfill his promise to provide Xu Mengjie with lunch for a week, which made many people think that the two of them were in love. Lin Qing, the head teacher, also came forward to interview the two of them separately and let them Be careful to stay energetic and focused, and don't get distracted emotionally.
Xu Mengjie showed no signs of paying attention at all, and still harassed Ge Xian from time to time, but her grades were still very stable.
Ge Xian's grades were steady and improving. After Tantai Qi took a break from school, he also changed his previous strategy of controlling scores and began to improve by leaps and bounds again. In the following weeks of mock tests, he broke through to the first place in his grade. Xu Mengjie ranked second and became a truly eye-catching talent, while the original Tantai Qi seemed to have been forgotten in the corner.
It is said that the dean of students, Han Dapeng, originally wanted to cause trouble for him, but after Ge Xian became the number one in the third grade of high school several times in a row, he was directly assigned to the junior high school branch as a marginalized vice principal by the principal who knew about it.
A group of people such as Ge Xian and Xu Mengjie have become the treasures of Cangluo No. 1 Middle School. The college entrance examination in the second half of the year will depend on whether they can win glory for No. 1 Middle School.
Since the two people's grades were outstanding, Lin Qing couldn't say much. After all, it was only when his puppy love interfered with his studies that he had a reason to take action. How could he interfere if his grades were still very good?
Fortunately, Ge Xian was a thin-skinned boy and always avoided her intentionally. Unfortunately, Xu Mengjie seemed not to let him go.
"I didn't scare you, you are so boring!" Xu Mengjie walked from behind Ge Xian to the front, pouted and complained, if in the eyes of other boys, such a little beauty talks to you in this tone, Brother Zhu's face has long been revealed, but unfortunately Ge Xian is a different boy.
"I seem to have fulfilled my one-week agreement, why are you still refusing to let me go?" Ge Xian asked directly. To be honest, he was a little annoyed. Although Xu Mengjie seemed obsessed with him, Ge Xian understood This woman is not that simple. She has been with Tantai Qi for many years, and many families in Cangluo County, including the Xu family, are willing to be the Tantai family's minions.
Is it a trap or a honey trap?
Ge Xian felt that no matter what her plan was, as long as he didn't fall into it and ignored her, the plan would be greatly compromised. Unfortunately, this woman really took it for granted, thinking that all men would fall for this trick.
Xu Mengjie said coquettishly: "Gexian, you are so ungraceful. Girls have expressed themselves in this way. Why are you still so cold?"
This cooing look made Ge Xian a little unbearable, so he ignored it and continued running. Seeing this, Xu Mengjie followed him unconvinced.
Ge Xian simply started to exercise seriously, and it was not seen how fast he ran. However, no matter how fast Xu Mengjie accelerated, she could not catch up. However, Ge Xian would not leave her completely. Even if he was a little ahead of her, it seemed that he could just work harder. Caught.
However, sometimes when Xu Mengjie is about to catch up, she reaches out and grabs it, but it is only air. Ge Xian is ten meters away, which is quite a blow to people's self-confidence.
"I can't do it anymore..." Xu Mengjie finally gave up. Now she finally knew what an outsider was like. The Ge Xian in front of her, her classmate, was such a person.
"Give up, we are not the same person, but you and I are classmates. If you have trouble in the future, I will help you, but don't push yourself too far." Ge Xian's voice floated over, not far away, but it seemed that he was a few feet away from her So far away.
Xu Mengjie tried her best to hold her waist up, and waited until her breathing became more stable, then her face darkened, and she said seriously: "Gexian, you are amazing, you are noble. I know you are extraordinary, and you are different from us mortals. I also know that you are extraordinary. Looking down on me, you must think that I am Tantai Qi's lackey, and you are not even clear about it, but I tell you, I, Xu Mengjie, am also a dignified person. I will never lick my face and beg you to love me. From today on, Dalu Facing the sky, each side goes to one side."
Seeing Xu Mengjie walk away angrily, Ge Xian's heart softened and he was about to speak out to persuade, but was interrupted by the rat on his shoulder.
After Xu Mengjie walked away angrily, he asked curiously: "Zhushu, why don't you let me persuade her? She looks so pitiful."
"Master, she is just pretending. She just wants you to keep her, and she will succeed." Shushu's voice sounded very philosophical, which made Ge Xian a little surprised, but when he thought of her in the jungle in the Immortal Cave After living in the world for five hundred years, I feel that I can accept it.
"Zhushu..." Ge Xian hesitated, not sure whether he should say it or not.
"Master, just say what you want to say." Shushu looked at him curiously.
Ge Xian coughed and then said: "Women are really scary."
Shushu's surprised expression made her look ridiculous at the moment, and the giggle that followed made her even more so.
In the distance, Xu Mengjie, who had already walked far away, looked back and did not find Ge Xian. She immediately sat down on the grass beside him in despair, looked up at the sky, and laughed at herself: "Xu Mengjie, Xu Mengjie, you are so self-righteous, you think it is in vain. These little boys can't escape your pomegranate skirt. Ge Xian is indeed no ordinary man. Is it really worth our Xu family's full bet on him?"
Her expression was completely different from the charming one before. She looked extremely dignified and full of forbearance.
Xu family, Xu family manor.
In a wooden house in the woods, a thin man with messy hair, a slovenly face, and a lot of stubble, but who did not look old, was sitting cross-legged in the house, seemingly undergoing training.
It was already evening, and two people came one after another. They were both old men, but the leading old man was tall, wearing a bamboo hat, with his hands behind his back and a straight waist.
The old man behind is much older, and his steps are a bit heavy, making him look a bit decrepit, but only compared to the former, among his peers in his seventies, he is definitely worthy of getting older and stronger.
"Taoist Priest, Yusun is grateful to you for enlightening him this time, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be able to think about it." Tantai Mingxuan said flatteringly.
Seeing this, Taoist Zuo nodded and replied: "The last time I tested your grandson's spiritual root, it was indeed not ideal, but this time he got a blessing in disguise. His spiritual root has actually changed, and he can barely practice Taoism."
"Really...really, Taoist Priest?" Tantai Mingxuan asked excitedly.
It is the expectation of generations of descendants of the Tantai family to return the Tantai family to the ranks of a cultivating family. Unfortunately, it has never been possible. Finally... finally in this generation, his grandson Tantai Qi is very hopeful to become a cultivator.
Zuo Daoren naturally felt the changes in Tantai Mingxuan, but he was sneering in his heart at this moment. Naturally, he would not tell him that the reason why Tantai Qi could barely meet the conditions was that he used an evil technique. This technique It comes from the Soul Palace.
When he was swallowed into the belly of the Cloud and Mist Heavenly Lord, in addition to absorbing part of the opponent's vitality and a large amount of spiritual power, which allowed him to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, he also obtained a skill called "Tianmo Jue".
Zuo Taoist naturally knows how powerful this technique is. It is said that if all the martial arts techniques in the spiritual world are ranked, then the Heavenly Demon Jue can be ranked second, second only to the "Xiaoyao Jue" thousands of years ago. These are two Great miraculous skills, and those who obtain one will be invincible in the world.
It is said that thousands of years ago, Xiaoyaozi, the master of the Xiaoyao Sect, could fight against the ten masters of the demonic path alone. Even if he was besieged by thousands of masters, he could still do it with ease.
Later, Xiaoyaozi disappeared mysteriously. There are also theories that he was poisoned by a strange poison. There is also a more mysterious theory, saying that in order to kill Xiaoyaozi, the Soul Palace did not hesitate to send a generation of genius girls trained by meditation, the Holy Girl of the Demon Sect, to come out and use her own power to kill Xiaoyaozi. At the price, he seduced Xiaoyaozi, and finally died with Xiaoyaozi through the method of the Heavenly Demon Jue. This allowed the Soul Palace to dominate the spiritual world for hundreds of years.
Since then, due to the mysterious disappearance of Xiaoyaozi, the Xiaoyao Sect has fallen. The masters in the sect have been besieged and attacked by the devil one by one. The major sects of the righteous path have chosen to stand by and watch because they are afraid of the strength of the Xiaoyao Sect. Eventually, the Xiaoyao Sect is extinct.
Things are unpredictable. Without the powerful opponent of Xiaoyao Sect, the Soul Palace began to fall into fierce internal fighting after dominating the spiritual world for a hundred years. The battle between the palace masters became a killing feast. To this day, nine hundred years later, the Soul Palace still remains. The division is not completely over yet, unless a hero appears.
When Zuo Taoist got the Heavenly Demon Jue formula, he was ecstatic, but after studying it for a while, he found that it was almost impossible for him to practice it.
Because the Heavenly Demon Jue is very overbearing, it requires the cultivator to break away from the practice and re-cultivate it from the beginning, and then the meridians will be cut off and resurrected within twelve hours. Then he has the qualifications to practice the Heavenly Demon Jue, otherwise his death will be in vain.
Such harsh conditions were simply unbearable. Only then did he understand why the Heavenly Demon Technique was the second most valuable skill in the world, but few people would choose to practice it, even those in the demonic path.
As for Xiaoyao Jue, it is because the selection of successors is very strict. If the qualifications are not met, no matter how good they are, they will not be able to practice. Therefore, Xiaoyao sect disciples have always been extremely rare, but all of them are amazingly powerful. Sometimes only Xiaoyaozi inherits the Taoism. , but he alone is worth tens of millions of people.
Zuo Taoist was unwilling to give in. He would never allow the magic power he had risked his life and death to be wasted, so he studied painstakingly after escaping from the Immortal Cave. At the same time, he studied all the various cultivation methods he had collected in his life. After a while, he finally worked out a practice method that greatly reduced the risk.
He plans to randomly select lucky ones to see whose physique is suitable for practicing the Heavenly Demon Art, and then slowly refine the lucky ones who practice the Heavenly Demon Art into demon puppets.
This kind of puppet will have its soul drained by him when he reaches the innate level in practicing the Heavenly Demon Art, and then turn into an innate puppet. At this time, the puppet has basically completed its mission. By seizing its body, he has completed the occupation and completely avoided it. The dangers in the early stages of practicing the Heavenly Demon Art.
As a result, in the process of Zuo Daoren's secret search for the lucky one, Tantai Qi finally "came to the fore".
Therefore, Taoist Zuo regarded Tantai Qi as his successor and accepted him as his direct disciple, which made everyone in the Tantai family burst into tears of gratitude.
In order to allow Tantai Qi to practice with Zuo Taoist in peace of mind, the entire family is now in hibernation. Even the betrayal of the Xu family has not been carried out for the time being. However, Tantai Mingxuan swore that when Tantai Qi succeeds, the Xu family will die. undoubtedly.
Arriving in front of the wooden house, Taoist Zuo waved his sleeves, and the wooden door immediately opened automatically, and then a stream of zombie aura floated out. Although the fire was still very shallow, there was no doubt that it was.
"Qi'er, grandpa is here to see you." Tantai Mingxuan did not dare to go in and disturb his grandson's practice. This was the first time he came to visit him today.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Master is very kind to me. I will practice hard. I have sworn that if the technique is not successful, I will not go out." Tantai Qi's voice was full of determination and resentment. Naturally, everyone knew this The object of his hatred was none other than his classmate Ge Xian.
Although there is no evidence that it was Ge Xian who did it, the Tantai family has determined that it was his method. As a Taoist, he naturally has some magical methods to deal with mortals without any problems.
"Okay... okay, then you have to take care of yourself. There are some supplements here. Grandpa put them here. If you need supplements, don't be polite." After saying that, Tantai Mingxuan took out a pen-like pen from his pocket. The box-sized package was placed on the ground.
Although the box was not opened, the aroma of ginseng and the like was already exuding. Zuo Daoren was a little surprised. Although he had seen many rarer medicinal materials, he was still surprised by the ginseng in the box in front of him.
"Thousand-year ginseng... I didn't expect it to be a thousand-year ginseng... Even if it is placed in the spiritual world, it will explode. Mortals can live longer, and monks can heal serious injuries. The Tantai family is really not simple." Although Zuo Daoren knew that the Tantai family was Although he was a descendant of a cultivation family, he still looked down upon him, but at this moment, he still felt that he had made a mistake.
Tantai Mingxuan left, and it was a ten-mile journey back and forth, but the old man refused to take a car or have anyone accompany him, insisting on walking back by himself, which was awe-inspiring.
Zuo Taoist picked up the thousand-year-old ginseng on the ground and walked into the wooden house, where he saw Tantai Qi whose appearance had changed dramatically.
"This is what your grandpa gave you - Millennium Ginseng. Although it is not a whole ginseng, this amount is enough for your practice, and it can save your life at a critical moment!" Taoist Zuo popped out the box with a very delicate force. , landed just in front of Tantai Qi.
There was a slight change in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at it, seeming a little moved. But soon, he returned to the state of being calm and no longer looked at the ginseng box.
"I have already died once. Things outside my body are like floating clouds to me. Master, I need more corpse energy to improve my skills. What should I do?" Tantai Qi asked.
Zuo Taoist simply put away the ginseng and put it into his Ruyi package, and then replied: "It's easy to handle, but do you really have the guts? The place where corpse underworld energy is most likely to gather is naturally the place with the most dead people, especially You are a man who died in vain, do you dare to go?"
"Haha... I am also a dead person, but I am a dead person who is still alive..." Tantai Qi raised his head, his eyes were enchantingly scarlet, and there seemed to be a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what was going on. In addition, he has spent these days in suffering and his face is getting paler. At this moment, he looks like a zombie to the Taoists.
"Okay, very good, very good. This is a good disciple for my master. Get ready and we will set off tonight." Zuo Taoist was extremely satisfied. Tantai Qi was originally unable to enter his Dharma eyes, but he endured it. After passing the most difficult beginning of Tianmo Jue, he was also very dissatisfied with Tantai Qi's nemesis Ge Xian. Speaking of this dissatisfaction, even Zuo Taoist himself sometimes did not understand it. If he had to say it, it was him and himself. Like his disciples, he was full of jealousy towards Ge Xian.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Two figures quietly left the manor. No one noticed that in the night wind, an old man looked at the two disappearing figures with a cane, and said silently to the direction in which they disappeared: "The ancestors bless Qi'er, and the Soul Palace will surely become famous in the world!"
At this time, the old man didn't look like he had no knowledge at all, but he smiled very strangely. It seemed that he had known a lot of things for a long time, but he had just kept it secret until this moment.
After the old man said this, he slowly fell to the ground, and his anger finally slowly dissipated. He had waited for too long, but unfortunately he could not see that day.
