"He also swallowed a hundred loquats whole."
Han Qingxiu felt uncomfortable looking at the loquat tree, especially the loquats on it, which made her feel ashamed, and her face turned red.
"Your loquat tree is growing so well!"
Han Qingxiu crossed the small pond and arrived at the loquat tree.
She looked at the loquat leaves swaying in the wind and felt a sense of melancholy.
I was thinking of moving the loquat tree, but seeing how well it was growing, I couldn't bring myself to do it and decided it would be better to leave it by the pond.
"Alright, I'll let you go this time."
Although Han Qingxiu didn't touch the tree, the ground beneath her feet suffered.
It seems that Han Qingxiu was venting her emotions, so she kicked the ground hard a few times.
Because he was a cultivator, his kicks sent dust flying everywhere, thinning the ground.
And beneath the dust kicked up, a section of stone slab was revealed.
The edges and corners of the stone slab were very neat, indicating that it had been polished by hand.
Han Qingxiu was puzzled when she saw the stone slab, but then she became curious.
There's a stone slab under the loquat tree? Why would there be something like that? Could it be that some treasure is buried under this loquat tree?
So Han Qingxiu squatted down and dug the entire stone slab out with her hands.
While digging up that stone slab, a lot of soil was moved, and many edges of the stone slab were exposed around it.
This discovery greatly intrigued Han Qingxiu.
Xiaoyuan Peak is where the sect leader secluded himself for cultivation, and very few people can come here. The things hidden on Xiaoyuan Peak must have been hidden by her unorthodox master.
Why would my unscrupulous master hide these stone slabs? Could it be that he has some dark history?
Han Qingxiu thought about how Wu Er had teased her, and she really wanted to know some of Wu Er's dark history so that she could tease him back in the future.
So she began to carefully examine the stone slabs that had been dug out.
The stone slabs are just ordinary stone slabs, not some kind of magic weapon. They are simply stone slabs that have undergone simple tempering and are relatively hard.
However, although this stone slab was ordinary, it had words written on it!
This excited Han Qingxiu, who immediately picked up the stone slab and studied it carefully.
On the small stone slab, there were neat and elegant characters carved.
It reads:
It has been more than a month since you left.
There are a thousand words to say, yet words fail to express them.
I think I should take some time to calm down.
That's all that's written on the first stone slab; there aren't many words on it.
Han Qingxiu looked on with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what was written on the stone tablet, leaving her completely baffled.
The contents of this letter seem to be written for someone who is in love with someone; it appears to be a love letter exchanged between Daoist lovers.
The content is quite ordinary and unremarkable, but considering that this is on Xiaoyuan Peak and the stone slab was most likely carved by Wu Er, it becomes quite puzzling.
Because in the cultivation world, everyone knows that the head of Pengshan Sect is a seven-hundred-year-old Pure Yang cultivator.
Since making a name for himself, there has been no news of the Pengshan Sect Leader having any contact with other women.
For centuries, some people with ulterior motives couldn't even create a scandal, so why are they writing love letters now?
This is a major discovery! A truly significant discovery!
Han Qingxiu put down the stone slab, but driven by curiosity, she picked up another one.
It reads:
"I can't calm down, I really can't calm down."
I want to see you.
So after much deliberation, he decided to try hanging himself from a tree in the southeast.
But before I left this world, I saw my junior brothers and sisters.
I still can't bear to part with them, so I can't go to nothingness with you.
I'm such a coward.
Han Qingxiu finished looking at another stone slab, but after looking at it, her doubts only increased.
"What does 'hanging oneself from a southeast branch' mean?"
Because this story doesn't exist, Han Qingxiu didn't know what it meant.
Although I don't know the story behind it, I can roughly guess the meaning: he wanted to die for his beloved, but failed to do so.
The writing on the stone slab is very intriguing, making one want to keep looking down.
So Han Qingxiu picked up another stone slab.
It reads:
"They say that seeing an object reminds you of a person, and I think that way too."
If I don't think about you, I'm afraid I'll forget you after a thousand years.
I also planted a loquat tree; seeing the tree is like seeing you.
It was just a short sentence again.
Han Qingxiu raised her head, looking at the loquat tree beside her, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
"Clang~"
The deafening sound of the bell emanated from the center of Pengshan Gate, and after passing over other mountain peaks, it finally reached Xiaoyuan Peak.
Han Qingxiu, who was holding the stone slab, was startled and immediately put it down.
"The clock has struck noon. What have I been doing all morning?"
Han Qingxiu shook her head, suppressing her curiosity, and then buried the stone slabs again.
Wasting a whole morning is a serious matter for Han Qingxiu, who is already under a lot of pressure.
She cannot waste a single second now; she must devote herself entirely to cultivation.
Only those with high enough cultivation level can be worthy of the title of the sect leader's first disciple.
......
At the other end, another side hall of the Beidou Hall complex.
In this side hall, Wu Er and Xiao Mingmu sat to one side, chatting.
"Look closely, have all those die-hards taken on disciples yet?"
Wu Er asked a question.
Xiao Mingmu replied with a smile, "Of course we accepted them. With you, senior brother, taking the lead, they didn't care whether they accepted them or not. All the outstanding talents selected this time have become disciples of the master."
