Chapter 47: The Murdered Wife's Testimony (3)
3
The second elder led the Xuantian Sect disciples and bowed, "Go slowly, Immortal Venerable."
The disciples of Xiaoyao Sect also saluted seriously.
Zhu Qingchen took Lu Nanxing and left without looking back.
After Zhu Qingchen left, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect stepped forward.
"I used to think you were just being nice, but I never thought you would do something like this."
“It’s just outrageous.”
The disciples of Xuantian Sect all lowered their heads and remained silent.
With things turned out like this, how could they have the face to stay any longer?
After a quick packing, I was ready to go back.
Of course, now that Lu Nanxing, who was blamed, has been rescued, they are unwilling to admit that they were wrong, so Xu Fangting has become their new target of blame.
——Big Brother, you are such a fool. Isn't he still alive? After so many years of cultivation, he can't even suppress his lust, and he brings shame to us.
The second elder threw out his sword and flew away first.
Junior fellow apprentice Shen Mingzhu supported Xu Fangting with great effort, then turned around and tried to find other fellow apprentices for help.
But they resented Xu Fangting in their hearts, so they turned their heads away and pretended not to see it.
Shen Mingzhu sighed, and Xu Fangting said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother."
"It's okay." Shen Mingzhu helped him fly the sword, lowered his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "At that time, Senior Brother, did you really want to..."
"No!" Xu Fangting said quickly, "I have my own considerations."
Xu Fangting lowered his voice and said, "Brother wants to exchange a golden elixir for you."
Shen Mingzhu raised her head, her face moved: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. That person has good bones and can resist high-level monsters before he even forms a golden elixir. If we bring him back and use drugs to catalyze him into a golden elixir, it will definitely be of top-grade quality. Then I can give it to my junior brother, which will be great."
Xu Fangting sighed: "It's a pity that Senior Brother is incompetent..."
Shen Mingzhu quickly reached out and blocked his mouth with a finger: "Brother, don't say that. There is always a way."
"Um."
Xu Fangting coaxed Shen Mingzhu into submission with just a few words, and the two of them rode on the sword together, full of affection.
Shen Mingzhu touched the wounds on Xu Fangting's body with heartache: "Brother, you have suffered. Wasn't it just a small demon beast? How did it become like this?"
Xu Fangting said: "I dealt with the little monster, I don't want to see bloodshed.
The smell attracted other monsters, and I was injured because I was not careful. "
"Yes." Shen Mingzhu nodded seriously, "I think so too. Senior Brother is so wise and brave. He must have been injured by a sneak attack from the monster. If they fought face to face, Senior Brother would definitely not be injured."
"That's natural."
"When I get back, I will ask the medical practitioner to come and check on Senior Brother and give him the best medicine."

On the other side, Zhu Qingchen also took Lu Nanxing away.
Zhu Qingchen was not very good at flying a sword, so he held Lu Nanxing with one hand, and the crane possessed by the system carried them away.
Lu Nanxing asked, "Immortal Venerable, where are we going now? My home is in Lujia Village, at the foot of Xuantian Sect Mountain, not far from here. You can just find a place to drop me off."
Zhu Qingchen said, "We still have to go back."
"Go back?" Lu Nanxing was puzzled. "Where to go back to?"
"Go back to where you encountered the monster." Zhu Qingchen said calmly, "If the monster is not eliminated, it may continue to cause trouble. We have to go and get rid of it."
"Yeah." Lu Nanxing nodded, not quite understanding, "I see."
Xuantian Sect felt ashamed and ran away. Xiaoyao Sect was only watching the fun and left after watching.
No one expected this to happen.
Zhu Qingchen said: "You show the way."
"Okay." Lu Nanxing nodded again, "We should go a little further forward, then turn left."
He was surprised to find: "This crane can understand me?"
Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly: "Yeah."
The system was helpless: "Nonsense, can't I understand what people are saying?"
Zhu Qingchen touched its head and said, "Go quickly."
Lu Nanxing led the way, and soon they returned to the place where Lu Nanxing met the monster.
The surroundings were in a mess. Lu Nanxing's donkey cart was smashed, the donkey ran away, the medicinal herbs wrapped in oil paper were scattered all over the ground, and there was a huge paw print on the ground.
Lu Nanxing jumped to the ground, picked up the intact herbs on the ground, blew on them, and carefully put them in his arms. He could take them back and dry them.
Zhu Qingchen followed the system's instructions and hung the herbs that attracted monsters on the tree, then clasped his hands and waited for the monsters to arrive.
The small ball of light stopped beside him: "I will control the sword, and you can use your health-preserving Five Animals Exercises to tailor the technique for you."
Zhu Qingchen nodded: "Thank you."
"It's mainly because the tasks in this world are too urgent.
. Your Kung Fu is so low-level…” The system glanced at him and sighed electronically, “You can’t even beat a modern gangster. I don’t know why you were assigned to the high-level martial arts world.”
Zhu Qingchen turned his head: "..."
At this time, a gust of wind blew through the grass, and the branches and leaves rustled and fell.
Lu Nanxing sensed the fishy smell in the wind, crouched down, put the picked up herbs into his arms, tightly grasped the talisman in his hand, hid behind a tree, held his breath, and dared not move, for fear of causing trouble to the Immortal Lord.
A strong wind blew towards me.
Zhu Qingchen raised his hand and performed his Five Animal Exercises, and the system controlled his sword, which flew out with a "swoosh".
The spiritual power knocked the huge monster over, and the sword hit it right between the eyebrows.
Zhu Qingchen saw Lu Nanxing not far away and shouted, "Squat down!"
Lu Nanxing quickly squatted down with his head in his hands, curling up into a ball.
The next second, the monster roared and flew over his head, and with a "bang", it fell far behind him, breaking several large trees.
Lu Nanxing squatted on the ground, turned around, and stared blankly at the monster that had no breath left.
The monster that was chasing the eldest senior brother of Xuantian Sect was solved by the Immortal Master with just one move.
So awesome!
The system flew back to Zhu Qingchen and stopped beside him. Zhu Qingchen blinked and looked at the system.
The system asked: "What happened to him? Why did he become stupid?"
Zhu Qingchen looked down at his hands and said, "Am I too good? I should have played L for a while longer."
"I'm too awesome!" the system corrected him.
"oh."
Lu Nanxing's eyes sparkled, and he ran forward like a puppy: "The Immortal Lord is mighty."
Zhu Qingchen gave an awkward but polite smile: "Yeah."
He always feels guilty because it is not his own ability.
Lu Nanxing looked back at the monster and asked, "I have seen this kind of monster in books. Its fur and flesh can be used as medicine. They are excellent medicinal materials. Does the Immortal Venerable need them? I will help you deal with them."
Zhu Qingchen looked at the blood stains on his clothes and asked gently, "Aren't you tired?"
“Not tired.” Lu Nanxing shook his head. “This is the blood of the Xuantian Sect’s senior brother. The Immortal Venerable just injected spiritual energy into my body. I am already healed.”
"If you need it, go ahead and deal with it."
"Okay." Lu Nanxing ran to the monster's corpse happily, grabbed its fur with both hands, and dragged it to the river with great effort.
Then he took out the dagger and storage bag he carried with him.
Zhu Qingchen sat on the stone next to him and waited for him without urging him.
Lu Nanxing moved swiftly, dug out the demon pill, cleaned it, and held it in front of Zhu Qingchen: "Immortal Venerable."
Zhu Qingchen raised his eyes and said, "You keep it for yourself."
Lu Nanxing looked at him seriously: "The Immortal Venerable saved me from the dire straits. If it weren't for the Immortal Venerable today, I'm afraid I would have been wrongly killed. I have nothing to repay the Immortal Venerable, so I can only offer you a token of my gratitude."
Zhu Qingchen said sternly: "We are a master and disciple, so there is no need to worry about so much. But why do you still call me 'Xianzun'?"
"I..." Lu Nanxing knelt in front of him and lowered his eyes. "I know that I am not talented and my family background is not good. The Immortal Master saved me today only because he is a kind person who helps those in need when he sees injustice."
His voice became smaller and smaller: "I dare not give in and ask the Immortal Master to accept me as his disciple, for fear of tarnishing the Immortal Master's reputation and bringing shame to him."
Lu Nanxing has been growing medicinal herbs in Lujia Village since he was a child. He would go out with the villagers to deliver the herbs and bargain with others. Sometimes they would even fight over business. He has long mastered the skill of speaking differently to different people.
He knew in his heart that in this situation, as long as he called "Master" quickly enough, Zhu Qingchen would not be able to refuse.
He loved practicing cultivation, and he practiced blindly for more than ten years like a headless fly. Even when he dreamed at night about becoming a disciple, he only dared to dream about becoming a disciple of a small sect.
Now a big pie has fallen from the sky. Being able to marry such a master is the blessing he has earned in eight lifetimes.
But……
He doesn't want this.
He didn't want to repay kindness with enmity. The Immortal Lord clearly came to save him, but he clung to him like a dog-skin plaster, shamelessly.
He is really not a good candidate. If the Immortal Lord accepts him, he will only be laughed at by others.
so……
Lu Nanxing suppressed his mercenary aura, knelt obediently on the ground, and waited for the Immortal Lord's decision.
Zhu Qingchen sat on a stone, his jade-white skirt spread out on the stone, hanging down and fluttering in the wind.
Lu Nanxing looked at the Immortal's clothes swaying slightly.
He thought that the Immortal Master would not accept him as a disciple again.
Lu Nanxing felt a little depressed, but he did not regret it.
The next moment, the Immortal Lord reached out and gently patted his shoulder.
"You have great talent." The Immortal Lord said to him in a gentle voice.
"My talent is so poor.
I have practiced for more than ten years but still haven’t formed the elixir.”
"How old are you this year?"
"I'm already eighteen."
"Xu Fangting was praised to the sky when he formed his elixir at the age of only fifteen. There are many people in the cultivation world who have not formed their elixir at the age of fifty. You are only eighteen this year, why do you think so little of yourself?"
"I……"
"The fact that you can lead him and escape from the monster is enough to prove that you have talent." Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "I want to accept you as my disciple, not just to argue with the people of Xuantian Sect, but because I really want to."
Lu Nanxing raised his head, his eyes lit up again: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. There's no need to belittle yourself." Zhu Qingchen leaned forward slightly, held his arm, and tried to help him up from the ground.
Lu Nanxing refused to get up. He moved back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Zhu Qingchen firmly.
His forehead hit the ground with a "bang" sound.
“Master!”
His voice was so loud that even the birds in the woods were startled.
When he raised his head again, Lu Nanxing's eyes were slightly red and sparkling.
Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah."
Lu Nanxing asked again: "I wonder if Master has other brothers and sisters under his tutelage. When can I go to meet them?"
Zhu Qingchen paused and said, "There are a few, but they are all out traveling. I won't be able to see them for a while."
"All right."
Those few are either attending court in ancient times or in modern times, so of course we can never see them.
Lu Nanxing added: "Then I'll deal with the monster and it will be done soon."
"Don't worry, take your time."
Zhu Qingchen sat cross-legged on the stone, trying to circulate the spiritual energy in his body using the method taught to him by the system.
Although the system will help him, he still wants to practice on his own.
Don't feel guilty about using your own abilities.
After he completed a small cycle, Lu Nanxing quickly dealt with the monster.
Lu Nanxing packed the medicinal part into one bag and the edible part into another bag, and returned home with a full load.
He was holding the bag, and when he saw Zhu Qingchen looking at him, he shyly handed the things forward.
"Master, pick them first. I will take the rest back for the villagers to eat. They will last for a long time."
These things are nothing to the monks, but they are very good things to ordinary people.
.
Lu Nanxing didn't want his master to think he was petty, but he also didn't want to waste it.
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. This is good. Even if you become a great master in the future, don't forget the common people. Don't be like those people in Xuantian Sect who look down on others when they have a little ability."
"Yes." Lu Nanxing nodded happily.
Zhu Qingchen waved at him: "Let's go, we have to go back too."
"yes."
The system once again possessed the crane and carried them back.
Zhu Qingchen sat on the back of the crane, and Lu Nanxing stood obediently behind him, carrying something.
"Master, I will roast the meat when I get back. It is delicious. My cooking skills are among the best in Lujia Village."
"good."
*
The two men returned to Lujia Village, and the village was in chaos.
Several Xuantian Sect disciples were blocking the entrance to the village.
"Don't worry, Lu Nanxing will be fine."
"He was very lucky and was accepted as a disciple by the famous Jade Purity Immortal Venerable."
"A few ignorant disciples of Xuantian Sect wronged him before. These are our small compensations to him. Please accept them."
Last night, Lu Nanxing was still "a despicable villain who tried to curry favor with the rich and powerful and tried to drug Xu Fangting."
Now, he has become the affectionate and friendly "Nanxing" and even brought gifts.
Their reaction was quick.
The villagers were somewhat anxious because they didn't know the inside story.
"No matter who Nanxing becomes his disciple, he should come back to report it, right?"
"Who is that Jade Purity Immortal?"
"Is Nanxing safe now? Immortals, please tell us the truth. Did Nanxing offend someone? Or did he meet some bad guys?"
Lu Nanxing went out to deliver goods. He was supposed to be back before sunset, but they waited all night and he still didn't come back. They had just loaded up their bags and were about to go out to look for him when they were blocked by disciples of Xuantian Sect.
They all watched Lu Nanxing grow up. Now that he's missing, the Xuantian Sect hasn't explained things clearly and hasn't let them go out to look for him. How can they not be anxious?
The disciples of Xuantian Sect were a little impatient and wanted to stuff the gifts into their hands.
"I've already said that he was accepted as a disciple by Jade Purity Immortal Venerable. He should be practicing with the Immortal Venerable now. I'm afraid L won't be able to come back for a while, and you won't be able to find him even if you go there."
"A gift for you
If Lu Nanxing comes back, you must send someone to tell us so that we can bring people to see the Immortal Lord."
To put it bluntly, they did not come to apologize to Lu Nanxing, but to establish a relationship with him.
Zhu Qingchen stood on the cloud and sighed.
The so-called largest sect in the world of cultivation turned out to be in this state, rotten from top to bottom.
They didn't even listen to what he said to them before.
No wonder in the original book, the entire sect bullied Lu Nanxing.
No wonder when their so-called upright and noble eldest brother killed his wife to prove his faith, no one thought it was wrong and instead felt it was natural.
Lu Nanxing glanced at him: "Master..."
Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Lu Nanxing jumped down only after getting permission from his master.
Just at this moment, the disciples of Xuantian Sect forcefully tried to stuff the gifts into the villagers' hands, and an old man was nearly pushed down.
Lu Nanxing flew forward and supported the old man.
When the disciples saw him coming back, they hurried to give him gifts.
Lu Nanxing protected the villagers and took a step back: "No need, you can take them back."
"Please accept it. Xuantian Sect was wrong about what happened last night. We came here today to apologize to you."
"Really, no need. Let's put things in perspective. I don't want your gifts."
"Take it quickly."
A disciple muttered, "Could it be that he was driven back by Jade Purity Immortal Venerable?"
"It's not impossible. He doesn't have much talent. The Immortal Venerable helped him out on a whim, but later found out that he was nothing and sent him back."
Zhu Qingchen separated the disciples and villagers with a snap of his fingers.
Several disciples looked up, and those who had just been talking nonsense quickly covered their mouths.
Zhu Qingchen landed on the ground and said calmly, "Back off."
"Yes." Several disciples bowed obediently and prepared to leave.
"Wait."
Several disciples turned back hopefully, and even stood on tiptoe secretly, hoping that Zhu Qingchen would take a liking to them.
But Zhu Qingchen just said calmly: "Take your gifts away and don't bother the villagers again."
"yes."
The disciples of Xuantian Sect left reluctantly. The villagers came to their senses and quickly surrounded Lu Nanxing.
"Where have you been? You didn't come back all night. You know I
How worried are they about you?"
"The people of Xuantian Sect are not speaking clearly. What is going on?"
Lu Nanxing walked up to Zhu Qingchen, raised his head confidently, and introduced him: "This is Yuqing Immortal Venerable, my master! My master was guarding Liuyun Mountain at the age of seventeen, slaying demons and monsters, he was amazing!"
Zhu Qingchen smiled cooperatively and quietly made a "yeah" gesture with his hands hidden in his sleeves.
Yes, it’s me!
"He is two hundred and fifty years old!"
Zhu Qingchen's smile froze. In fact, he didn't need to say this.
The villagers were still a little hesitant, and at this time, the village chief said: "Please ask the Immortal Venerable to come in and sit down."
Lu Nanxing nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Master also killed a monster, and I brought back the meat."
Lu Nanxing handed the things to the villagers and extended his hand to Zhu Qingchen: "Master, please come this way."
"good."
*
Lujia Village is located at the foot of Xuantianzong Mountain.
For generations, the villagers have relied on the little spiritual energy leaked from the Xuantian Sect to grow medicinal herbs for a living.
As a distinguished guest, Zhu Qingchen was invited to rest in the village chief's main hall.
Lu Nanxing quickly wiped the tables and chairs again, then took out the best teacups and tea leaves to boil water and make tea.
The village chief and several elders of the village stayed and talked with Zhu Qingchen.
The other villagers were outside processing the medicinal herbs and monster meat that Lu Nanxing brought back.
Zhu Qingchen did not intend to hide Lu Nanxing's experience from the villagers. When the elders asked him about it, he told them everything.
"When I arrived, he was about to be taken away by the Xuantian Sect's people."
The village chief was so angry that his beard stood up and he slammed the floor hard with his walking stick.
"This is outrageous! This is too much!"
"I was wondering why they were so anxious to give gifts just now. It turns out it was because of this."
The village chief recovered and quickly stood up to salute Zhu Qingchen: "Thank you for rescuing me, Immortal Venerable. We have no way to repay you. Nanxing is just a worry, and I am sorry for causing you trouble."
Zhu Qingchen reached out to help him up: "No need to bow, Nanxing is a good boy, he doesn't know that the disciples of Xuantian Sect are such people."
Just at this moment, Lu Nanxing walked in from outside holding a teacup.
When he heard the village chief say this, he knew that the village chief also knew about his affairs.
Lu Nanxing hurried forward, hesitating to speak: "Master..."
Zhu Qing
The minister understood and looked at him: "This is the first lesson I will teach you."
In the original book, Lu Nanxing was taken away by Xuantian Sect. He was first tortured into confessing, and then bewitched by Xu Fangting, and actually took the initiative to admit that he was the one who drugged and seduced Xu Fangting.
The village chief and other elders didn't believe him and wanted to ask him face to face, but in order not to worry the elders, he didn't tell them.
Later, Lu Nanxing was forcibly stripped of his golden elixir and imprisoned, but in order not to worry the villagers, he did not tell them.
In the end, the villagers happily came to attend the ceremony of his and Xu Fangting's covenant, but because of Shen Mingzhu's words "he won't give up",
In the end, they all died at the hands of Shen Mingzhu's sword.
Before they died, they didn't know why they lost their lives when they just came to attend the wedding of their junior.
Zhu Qingchen understood Lu Nanxing’s concerns in the original book. He didn’t want to make people close to him worry about him, so he always pretended that he was living a good life and never told them if anything happened or if he was wronged.
But because of this, he retreated again and again, and finally ended up in a dead end.
In the past, no one supported him, so he didn't dare to speak.
It’s different now. Now he has a master. If there is anything wrong, he can speak it out openly. He was just bullied and wronged!
Those people from Xuantian Sect are not good people!
Let the villagers know the true face of Xuantian Sect as soon as possible, so that they will not be deceived and will not easily believe in Xuantian Sect.
Zhu Qingchen looked at Lu Nanxing and said seriously, "If you have something to say in the future, tell your elders. Don't keep it to yourself. Only when you tell them will they be on guard."
Lu Nanxing met his serious gaze and nodded seriously: "Master, I understand."
"good."
Lu Nanxing started a fire outside on the ridge of the field and started grilling meat. After grilling the first batch of the best meat, he put it on a plate and brought it in.
The village chief said to Zhu Qingchen, "The Immortal Venerable breathes the wind and drinks the dew, so he may not look down on such human food. However, this is Nanxing's kind gesture, so please feel free to use some."
system:?
"Didn't you see that he was almost drooling? Does he look like an immortal who can breathe the wind and drink the dew? I remember I didn't use a filter on his image, did I?"
Zhu Qingchen pressed down the small blue light ball, picked up the chopsticks, and smiled shyly: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."
The village chief raised his hand: "Please come in, Immortal!"!
