Chapter 46
It turns out that the magical skill that the lonely brave old man told me at the beginning was called "Spiritual Travel Immortal Technique". Such a magical name naturally has an extraordinary effect.
Leng Xinrui and Qiu Chou saw my body in plain clothes. After Wu Yunran’s explanation, the two of them told me the magic of Lingyou.
Even the lone hero himself has not fully mastered this magical skill. He didn't expect that this thing needs death to be activated. Who would dare to do that?
To put it nicely, it is extremely passive. To put it bluntly, people who have never died will never know the wonderfulness of the Lingyou Immortal Technique in their lifetime.
Is this a blessing in disguise? Do I have to thank Chu Yingyu?
The only regret about the lonely brave old man is that he passed away after teaching me all his skills. So is he really dead?
On the bright side, even after death, you might see a white light and return to the modern era.
I am still alive because of the immortal soul travel technique, and after I die I will be able to see the light and return to the modern era. That’s what I believe.
Should I be resurrected then?
Leng Xinrui used her inner energy to attack, injecting it into my forehead. After a moment, she withdrew her inner energy and said bluntly, "It seems I can't save Qiu Chou alone. You have to come as well."
"I have been prepared for a long time."
"Bah! You bastard! You're not going to make a move until I ask you to?"
"Hey, he's old, and he's still scolding me. Now he's not here to mediate."
Qiu Chou smiled bitterly and touched his bald head, but his words were filled with nostalgia and sadness.
A hint of tenderness flashed across Leng Xinrui's eyes, but she quickly regained her invulnerable appearance, still looking as beautiful and superior as ever.
The relationship between the lonely brave old man and them must be very deep. Perhaps these years are enough. He has the best martial arts in the world and beautiful women, so in the end he thought of leaving the world and leaving without any worries.
When the boss was practicing his skills, outsiders naturally had to stay away. Wu Yunran pushed Chu Yingyu, who was unwilling to move, out of the side hall.
No matter what's going on inside, you're not allowed to go in.
I thought about it and decided to stay next to my body and watch the two of them practice qigong and adjust my breathing for me.
When these two people simultaneously activated their energy, the entire aura of the room shifted, even my soul was shaken. Such a powerful internal force was like two endless rivers rolling in, rushing towards the sea.
Only through such a comparison can I truly understand the terrifying strength that the lone brave old man possesses.
Compared with these old seniors, I was really not up to par. No wonder the old man who was the lone hero was worried that I would be eaten to the bone by the gangsters. He saw through my simple thinking and credulity at a glance.
But he still gave me his internal energy. If he hadn't given it to me, I might not have survived.
His thoughts wandered, and he thought more and more, even starting to imagine what Chu Yingyu would look like in the future as a hero. After five or six years, he would find a beautiful wife, have a cute child, and then raise a puppy. Wouldn't this be a happy and fulfilling second half of his life?
I am going back, so I definitely can't give him these.
"Wake up, you little bitch!"
Suddenly, the woman's harsh rebuke exploded in my mind, shaking my very soul and making me feel dizzy...
There was no room for me to think at all!
My eyes felt like they were being pressed down by a mountain, making it difficult to open them. But I still struggled to keep them open. As I struggled restlessly, a ray of light caught my eye, and two figures gradually emerged from my hazy vision.
Behind the figure, there was a vague white light. This light was not as bright as when there was no soul, but it still existed.
"What's this?"
The afterimage of the finger swayed in front of me. I felt dizzy and my throat felt like it was blocked by paste. After swallowing several times, I finally found the ability to speak. "Three."
"No, my mind is still dizzy, wait a little longer."
I heard Leng Xinrui sigh, as if she was very disappointed with someone.
I don’t know how long it took, but I seemed to land on the ground, feeling grounded. My skin felt the friction of the clothes, and I could smell the scent of incense with every breath.
I could clearly feel every sinew and every bone in my body. If I wanted, my eyes could see the tiniest lines on the beams, and my ears could hear Wu Yunran's voice comforting Chu Yingyu outside, and even further away, the trembling sound of birds fluttering across the sky.
My body has never felt so relaxed and comfortable.
"Who is this? Do you still recognize me?"
Leng Xinrui saw my eyes rolling and reached out to ask again. This time, I sat up from the bed, took a deep breath, and said steadily: "Five, you are Senior Leng, the immortal witch whom I met in Sifang Building on New Year's Eve."
Seeing that I was speaking clearly and thinking normally, Leng Xinrui and Qiu Chou first breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke to me anxiously.
Leng Xinrui: "Where's that bastard Wu Wei? Is he really dead?"
Qiu Chou: "Did Wu Wei leave you any message?"
Wu Wei must be the name of the lone brave old man, but I don't know if I can tell you two that he's a time traveler. But after all, they activated me, so it would be too cruel to say nothing.
After thinking about it, I tried to speak sincerely, "Master has passed away. He passed away peacefully and happily. He said he had lived enough."
"It's really like his personality." Qiu Chou laughed, and his weathered face was filled with memories of the past.
Leng Xinrui's expression became much more serious. She gritted her teeth and opened her red lips, "You bastard, what do you think of your friends as! You found an apprentice and then died yourself. How can a master be like this?"
I didn't dare say anything. I always felt that the relationship between Leng Xinrui and the lonely brave old man was more than just friendship.
"Girl, what's your name?" Leng Xinrui pointed at me.
Qiu Chou: "I've said your name several times, why can't you remember it?"
Leng Xinrui: "It's none of your business."
I felt a chill on my back and immediately sat up straight, "Junior Qin Xiao'e!"
"Would you like to come with me? I'll take you in as my apprentice. Not only will I teach you that bastard's martial arts, I'll also teach you my own anti-rebirth spell. Now that you have such a profound cultivation, it stands to reason that learning any martial arts technique should be a piece of cake."
Leng Xinrui extended an olive branch to me again, but when her eyes fell on me, it seemed as if she was not looking at me, but looking through me at the lonely brave old man, reminiscing about their lost youth.
If I wanted to stay and dominate the martial arts world, I would accept this proposal, but I am going home. I can still see the white light, although it is weak. I can even let go of Chu Yingyu, so how can I choose martial arts?
I also plan to return my internal energy to Chu Yingyu, so that he can become the best in the world.
Even when facing the powerful Leng Xinrui, I still shook my head firmly.
"Are you stupid? You still want to choose a man?" Leng Xinrui felt a little annoyed by my rejection and poked me hard on the forehead.
Qiu Chou was trying to smooth things over in a good-tempered manner, fearing that I would be beaten to death again by the angry Leng Xinrui.
Leng Xinrui glared at her friend again, "Why are you trying to stop her? This little girl is no longer the same as she used to be! Who can kill her?"
Hearing this, my eyes lit up, "Do I have no rivals except these two seniors?"
Qiu Chou said kindly, "In time, we won't be your match. I have a palm technique manual left by your master, so I'll return it to its original owner."
"Thank you, senior!"
I thought about it, and according to the rules of the underworld, such a life-saving favor, and they were both otherworldly masters who came from far away, I couldn't leave without kowtow and express my gratitude.
So I jumped up and knelt down, and Qiu Chou didn't have time to stop me.
"I would like to thank you two seniors for saving my life."
Leng Xinrui: "Alright, just consider it as paper money to burn for that bastard."
I:"……"
Qiu Chou cheerfully helped me up and pointed outside, "Should we call the young man outside in? Judging from his pace, he's already been circling hundreds of times."
I laughed and said, "I'll open the door and go out by myself! Give him a surprise!"
According to my idea, there should at least be an exciting bear hug, but when I opened the door and jumped out, Chu Yingyu and Wu Yunran were stunned at first.
The doctor's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped over, grabbed my hand, and took my pulse. "It's just as I thought. What exactly is the immortal guest's inner strength? Why is it so powerful?"
Me: "It's a magical skill called Lingyou Xianfa. I can now use this internal force!"
Wu Yunran sighed, "Is death actually a blessing in disguise?"
After a few pleasantries, I turned my gaze to Chu Yingyu. He was still standing there, like a frozen statue.
I trotted over to him and was about to reach out to shake hands with him when the boy seemed to have regained his mobility, turned around and ran away quickly.
Yes, he ran, even using his unsteady Qinggong skills to make a desperate escape. Like a rabbit, he leaped hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, clambered over the railing, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
I was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around to look at the bosses and asked, "Did I scare him?"
Wu Yunran: "Others cried with joy, but he ran away with joy."
I:"……"
Forget it, then let’s not provoke him for now and wait for him to calm down. After all, he still has a heavy psychological trauma.
I saw a believer walking past me, so I ordered, "Come here, prepare dinner..."
"Ahhhh! He's resurrected!"
Before he could finish his words, the believer ran away.
So I went to find the Dharma Protector. Halfway there, I suddenly remembered that I had resurrected myself using my own body, and no longer resembled Zhang Shan. Naturally, I was no longer the leader, so how could I still command the people within the sect?
So, I found Xiao Ruoyin.
Seeing me appear alive and kicking, his wandering state recovered a little, and he immediately walked up to me and asked, "Are you really alive?"
I laughed and said, "How about I punch you?"
Xiao Ruoyin: "Quick! Save Zhang Shan!"
"That's for sure, but I have to wait until I've fully mastered my skills. Are you going to take on the responsibilities of deputy leader now? Zhang Shan is unconscious, and I've only just recovered. You can't be lazy any longer."
"As long as you save her!"
I had promised Xiao Ruoyin to be sent to the front line to deal with matters within the sect, and I took Leng Xinrui with Qiu Chou and Wu Yunran to discuss matters concerning Zhang Shan.
No one can truly master the Lingyou Immortal Technique. I am the first person to do so by chance. With the guidance of my predecessors, I have understood it faster and more thoroughly.
It’s like the advanced mathematics that I once couldn’t understand, but can now be easily solved.
After my resurrection, I devoted myself to cultivation for a month, from autumn to early winter. During this period, I practiced diligently and unexpectedly never saw Chu Yingyu again.
If I wasn't busy practicing, I would definitely go and take care of Chu Yingyu so that Zhang Shan can wake up as soon as possible.
One day.
"I don't think there's anything else I can teach you. Your martial arts skills are profound and extensive. You can figure it out on your own."
Leng Xinrui brushed her hair and said to me lightly, "My colleague Qiu Chou can no longer guide me, but I have learned all the secret formulas of the palm technique."
This time, it was like I had been resurrected from the dead, and I mastered these martial arts very quickly, without any of the lag and stubbornness that modern people have.
After sending the two of them to the gate of Xuanyin Sect, I couldn't help but call out to Leng Xinrui.
"Senior Leng, have you ever...liked my master?"
When Qiu Chou heard what I said, he was so scared that he used lightness skills to run away. His reaction made me panic!
Unexpectedly, Leng Xinrui didn't lose her temper. She just looked at me expressionlessly and said, "No."
Okay, I don’t believe it. She may have never confessed her feelings for the person she likes.
I originally thought that if she admitted it, maybe I would travel back in time and meet the lonely brave old man again... Forget it, such a dream of the martial arts world might be destined to have no result, so why bother to reveal it.
"I am the younger generation who has spoken too much. Please take care, senior."
Leng Xinrui snorted lightly, turned around and left, then took the wrong road. I pointed it out to her in a low voice, and her eyes were as sharp as knives, making me stand still and dare not speak.
I didn't dare to breathe until her graceful figure disappeared in the bleak early winter wind.
“Click——”
A very crisp and subtle breaking sound was amplified in my ears. I looked accurately to the right and rear, only to see a black shadow quickly avoid me.
I:"……"
I don’t know if it’s because Chu Yingyu’s skills are not good enough or if I’m too strong now, but anyway, I found him, and it was the thirteenth time this month.
After thinking about it, I went directly to Chu Yingyu's room this time.
He no longer needs to apply ointments or take medicine, and his health is improving rapidly, but he still cannot hold the sword steadily. These are the reports I obtained from the observations of the disciples.
"Achu, open the door." Standing in front of the closed door, I knocked three times.
There was no sound from inside, but I was sure he had hidden inside.
In fact, if he didn't open the door, I could have smashed the wooden door with a palm and walked in arrogantly, but I chose to use my mouth.
"I know, you don't want me to come back to life at all! You just want me to die! Otherwise, why haven't you wanted to see me for the past month? Then I'm going to die again! I'll hang myself at your door!"
"Clang—"
As soon as I finished speaking, which sounded very ridiculous, the door was opened forcefully and Chu Yingyu stepped out, his eyes still fixed elsewhere.
I folded my arms across my chest and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"You lied to me." Chu Yingyu, who had come to his senses, accused him unhappily.
"Yeah, am I really going to get a rope and hang myself at your door?"
"……don't want."
"I'm alive and well, and you've never dared to approach me. You've even been peeping at me from a distance. That's thirteen times already."
"Twenty-one."
"You're quite proud of yourself."
“…”
"Achu, don't be afraid, and don't feel guilty. This is not a dream. I am indeed alive."
I took a step towards him. Chu Yingyu looked like a frightened rabbit. He covered his chest and took another step back. Under my pressure, he actually retreated back into the room.
He staggered and fell into the chair, and I walked over to him.
"Is the poison causing you pain?"
"It doesn't hurt as much as before, Xiao'e, so don't get so close to me."
"But if you can't overcome it, how can you find a new partner in the future?"
"I will never look for it again in this life."
"Well, not really. After I go back, I might even go on blind dates to find a partner. It's not okay to be timid just because of one failed relationship."
Chu Yingyu opened his mouth and explained in a panic, "No, I mean..."
"Um?"
"Xiao E can look for it, I won't look for it again."
"Why?"
"I have you, and that's enough."
I was a little surprised and a little distressed, so I asked, "...Could it be that you treated Xiaobai the same way? So you don't have any more dogs?"
No wonder he had no feelings for Lai Fu at first. He is too stubborn.
"Xiao E, I can help you find young talents and new martial arts talents. Of course, you can also go home... You don't have to worry about me for the rest of my life. I will be a great hero."
Chu Yingyu didn't dare to look into my eyes, but just whispered this promise with a nervous mood.
I couldn't help but soften my voice. "But now you can't even hold the sword steadily. I'll catch you peeping. Your martial arts skills have deteriorated. How can you be a hero?"
“…”
Chu Yingyu, who was forced by my words one by one, looked a bit pitiful because he couldn't let himself go and was still trapped on the wedding night.
"You must have a heart that cherishes and protects me, not just me. I believe that if you do this once, you will become a hero respected by everyone."
"What should I do?"
"It's very simple. You should think of the person you want to protect as the me of the past, the me who always needs your protection."
The boy didn't respond. I slowly squatted down in front of his bed and held his right hand with both hands. Feeling his struggle, I gripped it tightly, pried out his fingers, and then gently placed his fingertips on my neck.
Chu Yingyu's breathing became rapid, and his trembling eyes finally fell on my face.
"Xiao'e..."
"Do you feel it? The fatal sword wound is gone. My skin is warm and smooth, my breath is hot and gentle, and I am perfectly fine right in front of you. I truly forgive you, so why don't you forgive yourself?"
Chu Yingyu stared at me blankly, with slightly red eyes. Finally, he bent down, hugged me in his arms with both hands, and said with a trembling voice.
"But I don't have the right to expect anything from you anymore."
"I would think you would be better off with the dead Xiao'e. I'm such a despicable person."
"Let me hug you again, for the last time."
Feeling this cherishing and gentle hug, I buried my face in his chest, just as intimate as before.
"Achu, you can do it, I believe in you."
