Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Ji Chu, wake up
Everything that happened next was a mess, just like the weird talismans that Ji Chu drew when he was sleepy during the talisman class. Every stroke of the talisman was in an incredible place, which could directly top the list of the "Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries" in the world of cultivation.
First, even though her sword was shattered, she suddenly advanced three levels in a row and encountered the thunder tribulation of the ninth level of the Profound Realm.
In the ten stages of Xuan, Zhen and Hua, every three stages form a Kan, and it takes nine stages to become a Jie.
The thunder tribulation struck from the small world all the way to the Fu Yu Immortal Sect, making her roll and crawl in a miserable state.
Although she had never experienced the thunder tribulation of a level-up, she had seen others break through to the ninth level of the Profound Realm and see the tribulation end with just three thunderbolts. But somehow, when it came to her, the dark clouds in the sky gathered like crazy, unleashing six consecutive thunderbolts without stopping. The last one even split open half of the Fu Yu Xian Sect's mountaintop.
Fortunately, there were kind-hearted people who helped protect her, otherwise she would have been chopped into pieces on the spot.
After finally surviving the thunderstorm, Ji Chu felt as if he had just survived a catastrophe and was completely dazed.
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu ran over with joy on their faces.
It is said that they killed an incredible number of evil creatures at the last moment, and have already taken the top three spots in the Asking Immortals Conference.
While congratulating her on her advancement, Xu Ying stuffed the Ying Yuan Dan, the prize for the top three, into her mouth, saying that she was about to be turned into a beggar by the thunder, so she needed to replenish her energy quickly.
Jiang Chengxu agreed with this, and to celebrate, he and Ji Chu chewed and ate the Yingyuan Dan like candy on the spot.
Then came three rumbling thunder tribulations, more powerful than the one Ji Chusheng had experienced at the ninth level of the Xuan realm. Thunderclouds that covered the sky and sun gathered above their heads, scaring the others who had come to comfort them so much that they turned around and ran away.
Ji Chu looked at Lei Yun blankly:
No way... She just survived, and now she's going to reach the realm of perfection again?!
Isn't my leveling speed a bit too abnormal?
Thunder struck from the sky.
Ji Chu didn't have the chance to complain in his heart. He hurriedly mobilized the spiritual power he had just absorbed for 150 years to build a barrier for himself.
Fortunately, the number of thunder tribulations this time was normal. Although it was the combined effect of three people, at least it would not be endless.
The result was that Ji Chu and the other two were struck and rolled around in a miserable state, and they all reached the realm of perfection.
Everything happened so suddenly.
Ji Chu had no time to react before he was half killed by two consecutive thunder tribulations.
It was not until the spiritual rain after the thunderstorm chilled Ji Chu to the bone that he came back to his senses from the events that happened one after another. He exclaimed, "Wow!"
"I won the bet?!"
She pulled Xu Ying's arm and asked her to confirm:
"I won the bet?! I even leveled up?!"
Xu Ying turned around, and Ji Chu was frightened by her appearance. He couldn't believe that the beggar-like person in front of him was the bright and beautiful Xu Ying.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw Jiang Chengxu, also in tattered and unrecognizable form, talking to the elders and people from Mingwu Hall who came to congratulate him.
I vaguely heard something:
"Congratulations, it's a good thing to be promoted. However, you guys were unprepared for this sudden catastrophe. A piece of this mountain has been split off. The cost of repair is..."
Ji Chu and Xu Ying looked at each other, and with unprecedented strength and speed, they carried Jiang Chengxu on the left and right and ran away.
Disciples of Mingwutang: "...What kind of scoundrels are these?"
*
When he returned to the sect again, in addition to the promotion, Chen Wu brought another new piece of good news.
Although he was eliminated early, he managed to gather Ge Er's soul by accident.
The murderer who killed Yuan Fu was Cen Ping, Ge Er's childhood friend and the outer disciple of Fu Yu Xian Zong who was introduced by Yuan Fu.
According to Ge Er, many years ago, people from the Fu Yu Xian Sect went to their village to exorcise demons and accidentally discovered that Cen Ping's biological mother was a snake demon who lurked in the village and killed countless people.
The Taoist priest enforced justice on behalf of heaven and eradicated the snake demon. Cen Ping's father also died at that time, and Cen Ping disappeared afterwards.
Now it seems that Cen Ping must be holding a grudge against the Fu Yu Immortal Sect, so he used Yuan Fu to sneak into the sect.
But he has been stuck in the outer sect for many years and has not found an opportunity to take revenge.
The reason why he attacked Ge Er and Yuan Fu was because he was afraid of being recognized by his fellow townsmen and friends.
Afterwards, Ji Chu refused to plead guilty, Chen Wu continued to hold on to Ge Er's remaining soul, and the Law Enforcement Hall conducted a strict investigation throughout the sect. Cen Ping, feeling guilty, ran away early.
Xu Ying snorted after hearing this:
"The son of the snake demon avenges his mother, while the monk exorcises demons and upholds justice. They each have their own merits. I just wonder who Cen Ping is seeking revenge on after lying in ambush for so many years?"
"I went to Mingwutang to inquire about the records of going out that year."
Chen Wu looked at Ji Chu:
"It's Brother Meng."
Ji Chu was surprised.
Xu Ying "tsk tsk" twice:
"Then Cen Ping will probably never have the chance to seek revenge in this lifetime."
Ji Chu was surprised not because the person who exorcised the demon was her senior brother, but because the name "Cen Ping" would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned. As soon as it was mentioned, she remembered:
The bullied disciple whom he had casually saved in the outer sect in his previous life seemed to be this "Cen Ping".
In this life, she went to look for him specifically, but was interrupted by Xue Xianchen before she saw him.
It turned out that he was the murderer of Yuan Fu.
And this person is lurking in the sect to seek revenge on his senior brother...
Somewhere in the dark, it seems like something is forming a closed loop.
Unfortunately, she couldn't figure it out for the time being.
Ji Chu looked at Chen Wu's face, which was almost swollen like a pig's head, and couldn't help asking:
"Have you been staying with ghosts these days?"
Chen Wu said "Oh" and wrapped himself more tightly with his scarf:
"Did I scare you?"
He was a little embarrassed:
"I was eliminated right after entering the small world because of a sneeze, which really held everyone back. So after I came out, I thought, this physique of mine must be of some use. Sure enough, it really helped me gather Kuzuji's soul..."
Xu Ying then said:
"Chen Wu! I've long seen that you're a real man! What's the use of lagging behind? You're the most powerful person in our sect!"
Chen Wu blushed:
"Really...really?"
"Of course!"
Xu Ying patted his shoulder, making a "pa pa" sound.
Ji Chu handed the remaining two Yingyuan Pills to Chen Wu.
Chen Wu was startled and waved his hands quickly:
"No, no, no, I didn't do anything about it. Besides, Ge Er's matter is related to me. I, I, I..."
He never thought about asking Ji Chu for anything in return.
After all, he was just an ordinary disciple, timid, with poor cultivation, and would only be bullied when he went out.
He even knew that his admission into the Fuyu Immortal Sect was due to his yin constitution. It was his duty to resolve the ghost issue for the sect.
He had always guessed that he must have been blessed with good deeds in his previous life, which is why he suddenly met Ji Chu and had such good friends as Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu.
He is not greedy, and he will not covet his friends' things.
"That's not the thanks."
Ji Chu said seriously:
"Actually, you did me a big favor in my past life, and I never had the chance to thank you. Now I finally have a present worth giving you, and I'm giving it to you!"
"ah?"
Chen Wu was stunned by what she said: "In the previous life?"
Although he has always thought so, who knows what happened in the previous life!
Ji Chu must be comforting him!
But seeing that Ji Chu was particularly insistent, he had no choice but to reach out and take a Ying Yuan Dan, and then pushed the box and the other one back, refusing to take more no matter what he said:
"One is enough. I... I just don't want to be struck by lightning twice in a row like you."
Ji Chu couldn't help laughing and whispered in his heart:
"Well, this time I must become stronger and survive!"
After Chen Wu and Xu Ying left, an even more shocking news came.
Just when Ji Chu was busy attending the Questioning Immortals Conference, the long-missing Xue Wanning unexpectedly showed up!
I heard that the person was found on the beach near the ancient Yunchuan territory.
When she was found, her soul had disappeared, and only a trace of soul remained in her body. This was when she was discovered by the people sent by the Xue family.
If not, it would be difficult to find her.
Shen Ke rushed over as soon as he received the news.
Even a gentle man like him could have such an urgent moment. Everyone praised Immortal Lord Shen for his "unchanging love". Fairy Yaoyue had been missing for many years, and only Immortal Lord Shen and the Xue family were unwilling to give up.
Look, heaven helps lovers, and they really get reunited one day!
Xue Xianchen only learned the news after leaving the small world. He hurried back to the Xue family and has not returned since.
In the whole incident, only one person was in a very embarrassing situation.
The person who passed the message secretly glanced at Ji Chu's expression, with a bit of pity and curiosity in his eyes. He wanted to know how Ji Chu, as a "stand-in", would react after knowing the news.
Still saying:
"Junior Sister Ji, there's no need to be too sad. Fairy Yaoyue is still alive, but you and Elder Shen still have a master-disciple relationship. If things don't work out, there's still the Sect Master!"
"ah?"
Ji Chu was originally deep in thought, but when he heard such comfort, he nodded subconsciously:
"Yeah...I know, thank you for letting me know."
Her absent-minded answer seemed like a "forced smile" to the other party.
Although Fairy Yaoyue has always been gentle, she would not do something like driving away the "stand-in".
But the Xue family is a family of cultivators after all, so they might want to support their eldest daughter and ask Chen Ke to send Ji Chu, the "substitute", back to where he came from.
The visitor then felt even more sympathy for Ji Chu.
She is clearly hardworking and excellent, but she has a face that looks like the fairy Yaoyue. It is because of this face that she was rescued by Elder Shen and accepted into the immortal sect. She is really lucky and unlucky.
Ji Chu didn't think about these things, she just felt strange.
How come Xue Wanning appeared in person but her soul disappeared?
Clearly, in her previous life, she came back intact, and the time was not as early as it is now... What went wrong?
She was puzzled and couldn't help asking another question:
"Where is Xue Wanning's soul? Has the Xue family found out? When will they find it?"
The messenger looked at her meaningfully, did not answer, shook his head and walked away sighing.
Ji Chu: “?”
The next day, rumors spread that Ji Chu was secretly sad because "Xue Wanning was still alive". Not only did he force himself to smile, but he also comforted himself by saying "Xue Wanning's soul might not be found" and cursed in secret.
Ji Chu: “…Oh.”
She was really convinced.
*
Ji Chu is now considered a celebrity in the sect, and with the influence of the news about "Xue Wan Ning", he is looked at with strange eyes wherever he goes.
She tried to explain it at first, but later she found that people didn't like the calm and ordinary facts, but only liked the rumors about Hate Hai Qingtian, so she simply gave up and found a quiet place to hide away and sort out the current situation alone.
He has already torn his relationship with Xue Xianchen. This time he leaves, he may not come back as a cultivator. Maybe the next time they meet, it will be a life-and-death battle with the devil.
Looking back at myself, although I have reached the realm of perfection, my sword is broken.
She then decided to give up chasing Xue Xianchen for the time being.
At least you have to find a sword that suits you first.
Next is the divine bone.
In his previous life, Xue Xianchen stole the divine bone and attempted to fuse it with the divine bone to become a demon god with the same lifespan as the sky, but was later interrupted by her intrusion.
At that time, she felt that Xue Xianchen killed Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu, and killed so many people in the sect, just to steal the divine bone.
But when she was in the small world, she watched helplessly as the divine bone abandoned her and chose the evil creature.
At that time, I was just angry, but looking back on it now, it’s really scary.
The divine bone is guarded by the sect at every level. Can Xue Xianchen really kill so many people and steal the divine bone successfully with his own strength?
Chen Ke falsely accused her of colluding with the demons, but Ji Chu knew she didn't.
Then, who is the person who is colluding with the demons?
Or maybe - could it be the divine bone itself?
Thinking of this, Ji Chu hit his head hard.
She originally thought that her mission in this life was simple, which was to keep a close eye on Xue Xianchen to prevent this devil from attacking her friends and the divine bone.
But now, she felt as if there was a layer of fog in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly, let alone know what to do.
Ji Chu fell asleep in confusion.
She first dreamed of a "monkey".
The "monkey" who had desperately warned her in her dream last time that she "must win the Questioning Immortals Conference" seemed a little clearer in the dream this time.
It seemed to be a tall and thin person, jumping up and down and dancing, gesturing at her like a "monkey".
Ji Chu couldn't hear clearly and subconsciously moved closer to the other person in his dream.
Suddenly I heard a loud shout:
"Be careful! He's spotted you!"
Ji Chu was shocked. The "monkey" in front of her disappeared, and suddenly it turned into the scene of her previous life grabbing the divine bone with her bare hands.
Xue Xianchen's face was very close to her, and his pair of red-gold eyes without pupils were staring at her intently.
It was clear that the expressions on the rest of his face were full of resentment and pain, but his eyes had no trace of life in them, like a dead object.
Her hand was in his chest, and her internal organs were in great pain from being looked at by those eyes, but she still held on to the divine bone.
"Ji...Chu."
Xue Xianchen opened his mouth, but his voice was as distant as the humming of a huge bell, slow and long, with the tail tone trembling endlessly. It was obviously not his voice.
"... even if you reverse time and space and reincarnate, you still... can't escape—"
The red-gold mist enveloped her head, and she felt like a drowning person trapped in the vast ocean, small and humble, with no escape.
“……!”
Ji Chu sat up suddenly.
She was panting and trembling all over. Her eyes were still filled with red gold and she couldn't see anything.
pain……
My eyes hurt...
My head hurts...my heart hurts too...
Someone wants to kill her!
She stood up trembling, her eyes blind and unable to tell the direction, and could only run away in panic based on her feelings.
She tripped over something and couldn't find her sword, so she had to turn around and smash down with her spiritual power. Stones and grass roots shattered and flew towards her exposed skin.
A cold breath suddenly embraced her.
Meng Yuci appeared in time, spread his sleeves to cover her face and head, blocking the flying dirt, grass and stones.
His hand was on the back of Ji Chu's neck, his fingertips gently pressing her hair, with the strength of a mother's gentle touch, supporting her neck, like water, embracing all her anxiety and panic in his arms.
Then he whispered her name:
"Ji Chu... wake up."

The author has something to say: "Monkey" himself: I have a name and a surname, and I frequently appear in dreams to remind myself, so why does Ji Chu still treat me as a monkey [question mark]?
Ji Chu: Hold on to a little, can't see clearly. [Eating melon]
