Chapter 17: Fasting "You've been stuck in Qi training for several years, so you should have some...
Maybe after experiencing it once or twice, I have adapted to it a little?
When I returned to the village, Chen Ziyi was standing in front of the door chopping firewood.
After hearing the noise, Chen Ziyi stopped what he was doing and turned around. When he saw that the people coming were Yun Wanzhou and Xie Wuyang, his eyebrows raised and he was very excited.
"The Immortal Master is back? What did he get? I just heard a loud noise coming from Old Zhang's house, but I didn't dare go check. I wonder if it was the Immortal Master going to catch that monster?"
The first time Xie Wuyang saw Chen Ziyi, he had no good impression of him.
Hearing Chen Ziyi's string of questions, Xie Wuyang took a step forward, standing in front of Yun Wanzhou, and said in a cold voice, "Master and I gained a lot from this trip, even getting rid of that monster."
After saying that, Xie Wuyang calmly looked at Chen Ziyi's expression. He saw that Chen Ziyi's face was full of joy, and his voice rose with excitement. "Is Lao Zhang rescued?"
"Old Zhang originally relied on the monster's spiritual power to accumulate strength. Once the monster dies, there is nothing he can do to save the situation." Xie Wuyang said seriously.
Xie Wuyang's words were half true and half false, and he deliberately concealed the existence of the Nightmare Stone.
Chen Ziyi's smile froze, as if he couldn't believe it. "Really...really gone?"
Xie Wuyang said "hmm".
Chen Ziyi was so shocked by the result that he didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Ziyi and Lao Zhang have been neighbors for several years. Even if they just say hello when passing by each other's door, they have left a deep neighborly friendship.
As a result, one day, someone suddenly told Chen Ziyi that this person was gone. Even though he had been prepared, Chen Ziyi could not accept it for a while.
Perhaps realizing that his indifference seemed a bit heartless, Xie Wuyang added a few words to Chen Ziyi, who was stunned. "My master and I buried Lao Zhang's body in the wasteland at the village entrance. However, we don't know Lao Zhang's name, so we only erected a blank wooden tablet. If you want to see it, you can go and take a look. By the way, help Lao Zhang carve a word on the tablet."
Chen Ziyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Forget it. I'll go take a look again when I have the chance. He finally escaped from the monster, so I'd better let him rest for a while. What important things brought the two immortals back this time?"
Hearing Chen Ziyi address him so respectfully for the first time, Xie Wuyang couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Chen Ziyi seemed oblivious and didn't respond.
He had tried every means to stop them from getting rid of the monster in the first place, and now he was finding such a crude excuse. There must be something fishy about this Chen Ziyi.
"Yes." Xie Wuyang nodded without any concealment.
Chen Ziyi subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
Xie Wuyang said without hesitation, "Looking for someone."
This is true. They came here because they felt that Chen Ziyi was different. This explanation can't be considered a lie.
Seeing that Xie Wuyang didn't want to say more, Chen Ziyi didn't ask too many questions. Instead, he invited Yun Wanzhou and Xie Wuyang into the house, while he continued to chop wood outside.
Chen Ziyi caught a glimpse of Yun Wanzhou and Xie Wuyang in the house. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he looked away calmly.
He had been trying every possible way to get rid of the monster for so long, but he had never succeeded. He never expected that the two people from Cangqiong Mountain would get rid of the monster so easily.
Lao Zhang killed so many people, why did he die so easily?
Moreover, he had witnessed Lao Zhang's resurrection with his own eyes.
Who knows whether the people of Cangqiong Mountain can completely eliminate the monster in Lao Zhang's body?
Chen Ziyi's expression suddenly showed a hint of ruthlessness.
He must make sure that everything goes well for Lao Zhang.
…
Looking at Chen Ziyi, who was shirtless and sweating profusely while chopping wood outside, Xie Wuyang seemed to be lost in thought.
Yun Wanzhou, who was standing by, suddenly asked, "What do you think of Chen Ziyi?"
Chen Ziyi?
Hearing this question, Xie Wuyang withdrew from his deep thoughts and focused his attention on Yun Wanzhou.
As an Immortal Lord, Yun Wanzhou always gives people the impression of being serious and old-fashioned, suppressing all excessive emotions under a cold mask. Even in his previous life, until Xie Wuyang died, he was not able to see the cold and aloof Yun Immortal Lord.
Seeing Yun Wanzhou's serious expression, Xie Wuyang suddenly didn't want to go along with him anymore. After thinking for a long time, he said something that even he himself thought was outrageous, "Loyalty and loyalty."
In fact, after spending a few days together, he didn't feel that Chen Ziyi was loyal and righteous at all.
I don’t know if I will be struck by lightning for saying such insincere words?
Xie Wuyang racked his brains and managed to come up with a word, "Looks okay?"
He really couldn't think of any other words, and after thinking for a long time, he could only come up with these few sentences.
Besides, in this small mountain village, Chen Ziyi has regular facial features and can indeed be described as okay.
After Xie Wuyang finished speaking, he went to quietly observe Yun Wanzhou's expression, but strangely, the Immortal Venerable's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fell indifferently on Xie Wuyang, as if he had already seen through his little tricks.
Xie Wuyang knew clearly that this was not what Yun Wanzhou wanted to ask.
"If you continue to act recklessly, I will punish you by making you copy the Book Pavilion's Secret Method ten more times."
Xie Wuyang choked in his throat and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
When he was poisoned by that "woman", Yun Wanzhou said that his "mind was confused" and punished him to copy the secret method ten times.
Why does Yun Wanzhou still remember this old almanac?
The original body might not be Yun Wanzhou's disciple, but the son of some archenemy?
Xie Wuyang looked at Yun Wanzhou in disbelief, his tone rising slightly, "Master, are you really going to punish me by making me copy books?"
"Um."
Yun Wanzhou deserves no mercy.
Xie Wuyang had never expected that he, the dignified Demon Lord, would one day be punished to copy a book, and at that, copy the secret techniques of the immortal sect.
How ridiculous!
You should know that he used to hate pedantic Confucian scholars the most, and he would get a headache whenever he saw words.
If the elders of the demon world knew about this, who knows how they would laugh at him.
When Xie Wuyang thought about how long he would have to live under someone else's roof, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Xie Wuyang gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "Then Master, please tell me, what is this person Chen Ziyi like?"
Yun Wanzhou ignored him and put the broken snow around his waist on the table, looking at him with lowered brows.
This Broken Snow Sword has been with Yun Wanzhou for who knows how many years. If it were Xie Wuyang, he would have probably been tired of it a long time ago. I don’t know why Yun Wanzhou is so reluctant to let it go. At such a critical moment, he still has the mind to buy his own spiritual weapon.
After waiting for Yun Wanzhou's reply for a long time, Xie Wuyang gave up and asked himself, "Chen Ziyi and Lao Zhang have been neighbors for years. Now that Lao Zhang is dead, Chen Ziyi refuses to even look at Lao Zhang. It's really strange."
Xie Wuyang frowned and paused, then added, "Furthermore, since we arrived in this village, we've only seen Lao Zhang and Chen Ziyi."
It's like...
It was as if this village existed specifically for the two of them.
But Xie Wuyang couldn't figure out the cause and effect of this situation.
Yun Wanzhou glanced at him sideways.
Just when Xie Wuyang was puzzled, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, followed by two knocks on the door. "Master, have you had lunch yet?"
Although Yun Wanzhou had personally admitted that Chen Ziyi was a human, human hearts were unpredictable. He had become suspicious of Chen Ziyi when he was in the cave, and now he would never dare to eat anything Chen Ziyi gave him.
Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes dangerously and refused coldly, "We are already fasting."
Chen Ziyi asked with a smile, "Master Immortal is fasting, but why is it that even the little Immortal is fasting as well?"
In the world of cultivation, cultivators usually choose fasting only after they reach the Golden Elixir stage or above. A low-level disciple who practices Qi training cannot afford the risks of fasting in any way.
As the saying goes, "Man is iron and rice is steel", this is tantamount to taking half the life of the low-level disciples.
Facing Chen Ziyi's question, Xie Wuyang raised his eyebrows and said, "From today on, I will practice fasting."
Chen Ziyi was a little confused by Xie Wuyang's words. One moment he said he was practicing fasting, and the next moment he said he had started fasting. Was he really fasting or not?
Only after Chen Ziyi disappeared from their sight did Xie Wuyang turn around and casually ask, "Master, where do you think Chen Ziyi will go?"
Yun Wanzhou glanced sideways but did not answer.
In fact, both of them knew that Chen Ziyi went out after learning that Lao Zhang had died, and the most likely thing he did was to go to the grave.
As for what they were going there to do, that is unknown.
Thinking of this, Xie Wuyang raised his eyebrows with interest, his eyes fell outside the house, quietly waiting for Chen Ziyi to come back.
When Chen Ziyi came back again, it was two hours later.
He must have gone up the mountain again after having dinner. When Chen Ziyi came back, he was carrying a large pile of firewood on his back, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
No matter how Xie Wuyang looked at Chen Ziyi, he felt that he was normal, so normal that he almost suspected that Yun Wanzhou had made a mistake in his judgment.
Yun Wanzhou sat aside with a calm expression, looking relaxed. He even poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it intermittently.
The master and disciple both looked at the same person. Even if they were far away, that person should have noticed it.
