Chapter 101: Knowing the Mystery and Exploring the Ancient Spirit
In his drowsy state, Jindong could only hear bursts of laughter around him from time to time, and this laughter sounded a bit silly. He struggled to open his eyes and looked towards the source of the laughter, only to see a person sitting at the door holding a kettle and grinning foolishly.
It was none other than Long Qi.
He turned his gaze back and looked at the green bed curtains, his mind constantly recalling what he saw that day by the Guyang River.
Long Qi seemed to have noticed that Ren Dong had awakened, and he hurried forward to touch his forehead. It was not as hot as the day before, so he quickly poured him another glass of water.
"Lingxiang said you would get better today, and sure enough," he said, freeing his hands to help Rendong up. "Lingxiang said that if you wake up, I'll have to give you more water."
There was a sound of spiritual fragrance on the left and a sound of spiritual fragrance on the right. He had only been asleep for a short time and she was already calling him so intimately.
"Where did she go?" asked Honeysuckle after drinking the water in the cup.
"Today the sect is selecting suitable equipment for the new disciples, and she took Xinyi with her." After helping Rendong lie down again, she went to pick up the teacups.
"You're unlucky enough to have this happen at this time. Now you don't even have a choice of weapons."
Honeysuckle remained silent upon hearing this. He didn't really care whether to choose or not. He wielded the unsharpened sword quite well. He also had other concerns on his mind.
Looking at Long Qi's back, he hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"You...you like her?"
Long Qi was caught off guard by Rendong's sudden words and was unable to react for a moment.
"What? Who?"
But in just a moment, he knew who the "she" that Honeysuckle was talking about was.
"Oh~ Lingxiang." Long Qi scratched his head and laughed, without any embarrassment on his face.
"You saw all this!"
Lonicera sideways glanced over and saw Long Qi smiling as if he had already married Ling Xiang. After staring at him for a moment, Lonicera turned her gaze back to the tent ceiling. After a long pause, she spoke:
"She's still young and doesn't even know about love. Are you so sure she'll like you?"
When Rendong asked this question, Long Qi was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Honeysuckle didn't answer, just staring at the top of the tent. Long Qi thought for a moment and understood the implication of Honeysuckle's words.
"Are you interested in her too?"
Honeysuckle remained silent, and after a long time, she closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
Seeing him like this, Long Qi immediately knew that his prediction was correct. He looked at the silent Ren Dong for a long time and said:
"She won't be devoted to you."
The chill outside the house faded slightly, the mountain stream gurgled, and even the birds chirped more happily, as if saying to each other: Spring is coming, spring is coming...
…
"What do you mean?" Ajin asked puzzled after hearing what Lingxiang said.
Lingxiang stood with her chin pinched and her chest crossed, thinking for a moment before speaking.
"If I'm not mistaken, then the Eternal Sky is definitely no longer in the cave. I've read in the Exploration Sutra that the Eternal Sky's spirit is extremely domineering. If it takes a fancy to someone, it will merge with their spirit, allowing them to see all the truths of the world. In other words, Wuyang has now become knowledgeable about everything in the universe and has become the Great Dao. After waking up, he will look upon us as we look upon ants."
Just when everyone was shocked by what Lingxiang said, Zhao Wuyang woke up. He stared at Lingxiang motionlessly for a long time before speaking.
"Oh? I haven't been in the human world for a long time. I didn't know that people would spread such rumors about me."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Looking carefully, they found that Zhao Wuyang's eyes were sky blue, as clear as a gem, and as distant as the deep sea.
"Little girl, please don't speak nonsense. When have you ever seen me being domineering?" "Zhao Wuyang" said as he jumped off Ajin.
Now everyone knew that the person speaking was Wan Gu Qiong Cang.
"However, the author of this 'Exploring the Mysterious Scripture' is quite interesting. He actually knows that everything I teach others is the truth. He is quite talented and far-sighted." He shook his robe and said, "This body is indeed a bit weak."
The elders didn't know how to face this great god, and they all remained silent. However, Lingxiang was not afraid. She just smiled softly and said:
"Your Excellency may not consider yourself overbearing, but this is the first time I've seen a magical weapon that can actually take over the body of its master. Isn't this what people often call a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest?"
Upon hearing this, True Man Qianyuan was shocked and quickly apologized to Wan Gu Qiong Cang. True Man Chengxin also covered Ling Xiang's mouth. This little girl was usually arrogant, and she actually dared to speak to the ancient spirit in such a way. If she made him unhappy, she could raze the Tai Shang Sect to the ground in an instant!
Lingxiang couldn't take it off for a moment, so she quickly signaled to Ajin with her eyes. Ajin was startled at first, but then he instantly understood what she meant and quickly said:
"That's absolutely true. As a weapon spirit, it's unheard of for you to do something like this and become the host!"
Upon hearing this, Master Qianyuan was shocked. However, since neither side could afford to offend, what was he supposed to do? Even Master Donghui, who had remained calm until then, opened his eyes.
But Wan Gu Qiong Cang seemed to be unconcerned. He twisted his wrist, walked to the edge of the cliff and stretched.
"You, a divine messenger who hasn't even attained the Great Dao, actually dare to speak so arrogantly in front of this old man. Even if you ascend to the path of the Ancient Gods in the future, you will still be several levels lower than me. Moreover, it is still unknown whether you will ever meet someone who can help you ascend to the path of the Gods in this lifetime. How pathetic!"
"That's quite amusing." Lingxiang took advantage of Chengxin Zhenren's moment of inattention and quickly broke free, running behind Ajin and saying, "You feel pity for others, but you don't know how to feel pity for yourself. Even if you occupy someone else's body, so what? After all, you're still a spirit, yet you're so arrogant, as if you're afraid others won't know your age."
The three elders were horrified when they heard this. Just as Zhenren Qianyuan was about to shout to stop him, he saw Wan Gu Qiong Cang suddenly turn around and attack Ling Xiang.
Seeing this, Ajin hurriedly raised his energy to resist, and suddenly the surrounding spiritual energy burst out, and Banxia was bounced out in an instant. Fortunately, Zhenren Donghui was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and caught her with a whisk when she was about to fall off the cliff. Under such spiritual energy, the three elders could only defend themselves, while Ajin and Wan Gu Qiong Cang were evenly matched.
Lingxiang was safe and sound hiding behind Ajin Shield, but she seemed not to mind the trouble and started to provoke again:
"It's just a spirit, an ancient thing, so what? It's no different from the pathetic God's Messenger you mentioned. And it's just so tolerant. It won't let anyone tell you the truth, and it will attack you if you poke a sore spot. You are an ancient spirit, but you would go to such lengths to pick on a young girl like me. You are really disrespectful to your age, and you have no shame!"
Every word he spoke was so resounding that even with the fluctuation of spiritual energy, everyone present could hear it clearly. The three elders were even more shocked and horrified when they heard it, but they really couldn't get away to shut up the woman who had caused trouble but didn't know it.
This spiritual incense must have thoroughly offended the eternal sky today!
