Chapter 332: All Things Work Together to Observe the Restoration
“When walking on the road, one must always look forward. Although there are some touching moments along the way, they are just a fleeting flash of light behind. Even if you think about it again in the future, you may not know whether you will laugh while crying, or laugh while crying.”
…
Long Qi stroked the jade flute in his hand, thinking about the words Lingxiang left before she left. He really didn't know what Lingxiang meant by these words, but every time he thought about them, he always felt that there was something else behind them.
"The mountains are high and the waters are long, we have nothing to do with each other anymore..."
Long Qi laughed at himself.
Yes! He and Lingxiang had only just met by chance, and Lingxiang had taken him in out of kindness. Why should he demand more?
But he... he fell in love with her, fell in love with her eccentricity, fell in love with her heartlessness, fell in love with everything about her.
Long Qi didn't know when this feeling began. Perhaps it was when Cangzhou City Lingxiang dressed up for the first time, or when she was leisurely lying on the hammock in the You Ran Residence, or maybe it was the medicinal fragrance that hit him when he collapsed on the ground exhausted that day...
Thinking about it carefully, ever since I met Lingxiang, her every move has always influenced my mood. Although I always look indifferent, I am actually afraid that she will be snatched away. As long as she is around, I wish I could have eyes on her.
In Long Qi's heart, Lingxiang is like a piece of natural jade, which is lustrous and smooth without being carved.
But……
I still failed to protect her...
Long Qi sighed and touched the blowing hole of the jade flute, where the fragrance of Lingxiang's lips seemed to still remain.
There was a rustling sound, and then an old man in a gray robe sat down next to Long Qi. This old man had white hair and beard, long eyebrows, and dark eyes that filled his entire eye sockets.
"Ancestor..."
It turns out that this old man is the incarnation of Wu Ji - the celestial dragon who was banished to the mortal world by the Heavenly Concubine Zulong, and the ancestor of the Long family.
Before leaving, Lingxiang returned the four sword manuals of the Long family to Long Qi, but two of them were already messed up. Long Qi decided to find Xun Wu and revise them, and practice with his ancestor together.
Wu Ji glanced at the emerald green flute in Long Qi's hand and curled his lips: "Oh, kid, are you thinking of someone when you see something?"
Long Qi didn't feel embarrassed and just smiled, but it only lasted for a moment before his expression dimmed again.
Seeing this, Wu Ji slapped Long Qi on the back of the head, but this slap was extremely gentle.
"What are you thinking about, you little brat?"
Long Qi knew that this was the love that his ancestor showed him. He grinned and looked down at the Qingfeng Jade Flute in his hand.
"Grandma, she said that our fate has ended and we have nothing to do with each other anymore..."
Wu Ji smacked his lips when he heard this: "That doesn't sound wrong at all."
Long Qi's eyes widened, and he jumped up at once: "What is the ancestor talking about?"
Seeing Long Qi like this, Wu Jizhi said something very unsteady and asked Long Qi to sit down.
"Let me ask you, are you and that girl related by blood?"
Long Qi shook his head upon hearing this, and Wu Ji asked again:
"Do you consider her a friend?"
Long Qi nodded first, then quickly shook his head.
"You know, old ancestor, I treated her as..."
"That's right!" Wu Ji couldn't stop Long Qi from saying this, and interrupted him with a raised voice, "You two are neither blood relatives nor close friends, so how can you be related?"
Long Qi thought about it carefully. If he insisted on understanding it this way, it would make sense, but...
"But she said her fate with me is over..."
"That's even more true!" Wu Ji smiled and stroked his long eyebrows. "After all, she and you are master and disciple on the surface. Since you covet that girl, it will always be inappropriate in the eyes of the world. Now that the girl has severed your master-disciple relationship, doesn't this just fulfill your little wish?"
Can it be understood this way?
Long Qi looked at Wu Ji in disbelief. After spending the past two years together, he had every reason to suspect that his ancestor was teasing him, but...
"Really?"
"Of course. Who am I? But your ancestor, when he was in heaven, drank with Emperor Ziwei at the same table!"
Long Qi curled his lips, but he still believed it, even though it was just Wu Ji's one-sided statement.
"But..." Long Qi was still a little hesitant, "But why did Lingxiang give me the Hanyu Pill? Did she know what was going to happen then?"
Wu Ji smiled and said, "All things are created together, so we can see their return. This girl has great wisdom!"
Long Qi didn't understand and looked at Wu Ji in confusion. Wu Ji looked disgusted and flicked his finger on Long Qi's forehead.
"Silly boy, this is a blessing!"
Blessed?
They were all taken to the demon world, where is the blessing...
Long Qi rubbed his head. He really couldn't understand what the ancestor meant.
Wu Ji sighed and really wanted to roll his eyes at Long Qi, but unfortunately he had no whites in his eyes.
"Those who practice cultivation reach the extreme of emptiness, maintain purity, return to their roots, and fulfill their mission. They can fight against evil at the lowest cost, discover the evil of evil, and observe their own weaknesses."
"To realize the Way of Heaven and to look within, how can this not be a blessing?" Wu Ji stroked his long beard with a look of approval.
Long Qi was confused by what he heard, but he understood one thing: Lingxiang did not abandon him, and she had her reasons for doing so.
Yes, Lingxiang's actions may seem erratic, but she always has a plan in mind. She is just like that. It's not the first day I've known her, so shouldn't I trust her?
Long Qi lowered his head again and stroked the jade flute in his hand. The flute was smooth and mellow, just like Lingxiang's smile that day.
After a long time, Long Qi smiled softly, stood up suddenly, put the jade flute in his arms, turned around and walked into the stone chamber.
"It's done!"
Wu Ji didn't even look back, but just stroked his long beard and smiled, but Long Sheng appeared quietly at this time.
Looking at Long Qi's receding figure, Long Sheng asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure that Young Master Long Qi's heart knot has been untied?"
"Tsk!" Wu Ji looked dissatisfied when he heard this. "What? Boy, you don't believe in the ancestors?"
Upon hearing this, Long Sheng hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but he really didn't believe it. After all, in the past two years, Long Qi often sighed and became listless from time to time.
Now that the Long family only has this one child, how can he feel at ease?
Wu Ji patted Long Sheng's shoulder and said, "Relax, he's just a young boy. How can the old ancestor not be able to control his thoughts? Wouldn't it be a waste of all these years? But you..."
Long Sheng didn't understand what was going on, so what happened to him?
"You're not young anymore. You're my descendant after all. Don't put all your thoughts on that kid. Think more about yourself. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He will grow up eventually."
When Long Sheng heard this, his face turned red and he turned away, trying to cover his face.
How can he take care of himself when the Long family's revenge has not yet been taken?
Fortunately, Long Qi finally cheered up, which is a comforting thing to see.
At this moment, Long Qi seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and stood up on his own.
Master Fuyin was unable to break the Jade Pill, but he had said that it only stagnated the Qi and meridians, but did not affect cultivation. If one day, one's cultivation became profound enough, one might be able to break free from the Jade Pill's constraints.
Long Qi discovered these days that although he could not use his full strength in martial arts, he could still perform magic.
Lingxiang often says that she only knows how to use brute force. This might be intentional so that she can concentrate on practicing magic.
Yes, yes, our ancestors said so, so it must be true!
Thinking of this, Long Qi held his breath and concentrated again.
Lingxiang, wait for me!
Wait for me to rescue you!
