Chapter 81: Not for Immortality, He Didn't Do Anything Wrong, He Was the One Who Was Wrong
"Sister, I might need to look for that jade pendant. I put it together with the spirit stone and elixir at that time. After I fell off the cliff, I don't know if Fei Luo and the others touched it."
After thinking about it, Chu Yun replied.
He first planned to conceal the matter of the jade pendant for the time being, and then discuss the matter with Qingniu Dahuang, and then decide whether to hand over the jade pendant.
After all, he had never seen the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and he was not comfortable handing over something as important as the jade pendant.
If his sister wanted it, he would definitely not hesitate at all.
Chu Chan glanced at Chu Yun, a trace of confusion appeared on her face, but she didn't say much.
She knew Chu Yun very well. If he was lying, his eyes would subconsciously look to the side.
I have had this habit since childhood.
But she didn't point it out.
Chu Yun's brain has indeed become much smarter. If it were before, he would definitely not have played such a trick.
But Chu Chan still decided to believe him, thinking that he had other concerns and did not think that he wanted to keep the jade pendant for himself.
"Mr. Jiang has done me a favor. If I want to gain more of his favor and respect, I must show him value."
"The Xiangguo Mansion behind him would not allow an ordinary woman like me to enter like this, so that jade pendant is very important to me."
"If I can use this opportunity to allow the Prime Minister's Mansion to obtain the inheritance of True Lord Zixia, then I will have done something great, and I will be more confident when I enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future."
Chu Chan looked at Chu Yun deeply and spoke frankly.
"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely find the jade pendant."
"Or, you can wait for me here for a while."
Chu Yun felt a little sad, realizing that his sister had made up her mind, and replied immediately.
He had promised not to tell anyone else about the matter of Qingniu Dahuang, including his dearest sister.
After all, there are many spiritual creatures in this world. If others knew about the existence of Dahuang, it would surely attract covetousness.
As the former mount of Master Zixia, it knows a lot about Master Zixia and is like a walking treasure.
A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure.
Chu Chan could see that her brother had many secrets.
But she didn't point it out, just nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you here, you pack up and come back to Anyang City with me."
"Master Jiang also wanted to see you. He had promised me that he would find a famous doctor from the Great Xia Dynasty to help you heal your brain, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
When Chu Yun heard these words, he was stunned again.
He really didn't expect that the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be so good to his sister that he even took his silly brother into consideration.
No wonder my sister was so calm when she mentioned him, and there was no resistance in her eyes.
I guess that Mr. Jiang must be a handsome, elegant and graceful person.
He felt increasingly depressed. He agreed with his mouth but headed towards Zixia Temple.
"Xiao Yun is too young, and he has some secrets. But he can't hide them like this, it will attract attention."
"The old Taoist priest at Zixia Temple is not a pushover. I'm sure you can tell that."
After Chu Yun left, Chu Chan fell into deep thought, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back.
She looked at Zixia Temple from afar and saw purple mist rising from it. The scene was astonishing, as if some strange phenomenon was evolving between heaven and earth. She couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
The cultivation strength of Taoist Zixia should not be underestimated. He has been living in seclusion for many years, and he must be trying to obtain the inheritance of True Lord Zixia.
"If it was before, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take my brother away safely, but now I'm a different person. If Taoist Zixia knows what's good for him, he certainly won't dare to stop me."
Thinking of this, Chu Chan looked towards the white jade chariot. The ancient "Jiang" character flag on it was fluttering in the wind. On the way here, all the cultivators he saw changed color and retreated.
"This is the smell of power...it's really easy to get intoxicated."
She then returned to the white jade chariot, began to sit cross-legged in meditation, and practiced seriously. No matter what, improving her strength was still crucial.
Although Su Qinghan has been practicing hard every day and seems cold and indifferent, he is not a good person.
During the time when she was away from Anyang City and not with Jiang Lan, she might take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
Chu Chan actually still had a sense of urgency in her heart. Her talent was not outstanding and could only be considered above average. Even if she had the resources to support her now, it would not be easy for her to catch up.
You know, there is no shortage of beautiful women like her in this world. Today there is Chu Chan, and tomorrow Jiang Lan may be surrounded by Wang Chan or Zhao Chan...
"No matter what, improving your own strength and influence is the most important thing."
"These maids and subordinates are my initial capital..."
On the other side, Chu Yun returned to Zixia Temple and went to the backyard immediately. He found Qingniu Dahuang in an open space outside that was full of spiritual herbs.
In order to avoid the attention of outsiders, Qingniu Dahuang specially taught him a unique way of communication, just to deal with situations like those in Zixia Temple where there were many people and eyes.
At that moment, Chu Yun told Qingniu everything that had just happened without hiding anything and asked it what it thought.
"That jade pendant is indeed a token left by the master. I have told you about this before. The master seems to have left something like a jade slip to inform the descendants of the Chu family about this matter. But who would have thought that you would lose it and forget about it."
"Actually, whether you like it or not, you can't keep the jade pendant now. But you don't have to worry. The secret treasure left by the master is not just in that cave."
"Zixia Mountain is just the place where he practiced in seclusion in his later years. I know all the secret scrolls of cultivation techniques left there. When your cultivation strength reaches a certain level, I will teach you one by one."
"Among them, the more important ones are probably a few magical instruments and secret treasures, but they are of little use to you right now."
"On the contrary, since your sister has made this choice, as her younger brother, you naturally have to help her gain a firm foothold. The situations of independent cultivators and cultivators with strong support are very different. Don't take it lightly now. It may not be easy for you to find some cultivation resources in the future. In the end, you still have to rely on your sister..."
Although Qingniu Dahuang's voice was childish, when he spoke slowly at this moment, he sounded like a wise and experienced old man, teaching Chu Yun.
Chu Yun fell silent.
He also didn't expect that Da Huang would persuade him to hand over the jade pendant.
Isn't this equivalent to handing over the cave of Master Zixia to others? "How short-sighted you are."
"Your sister is smarter and more far-sighted than you. How many resources does the master's cave have? If she can gain a foothold in the Xiangguo Mansion, it means that your sister can walk around freely in Daxia in the future."
"You are such a silly boy! Your sister knows all this very well, so she has no intention of keeping it for herself. After all, this is a rare token of allegiance." Qingniu Dahuang looked as if he was disappointed in his sister.
After being scolded, Chu Yun gradually understood.
Qingniu Dahuang was too lazy to say anything more to him. He knew that Chu Yun was in a depressed mood at the moment and was unwilling to give up for many reasons.
But only when he truly steps into the world of cultivation and understands the hardships and sufferings of this world, will he understand his sister's actions.
When its master, True Lord Zixia, was just a young cultivator, how miserable was he? In the end, he still needed the help of the ancestors of the Chu family.
"I'll listen to you and give the jade pendant to my sister. But if I take you back to Anyang City with me, won't we be noticed by those strong men?" Chu Yun said.
Qingniu Dahuang shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that. No matter who investigates, they will think that I am just an ordinary buffalo."
After it said that, Chu Yun felt relieved. He immediately returned to his room and started to pack his clothes.
At the top of Zixia Mountain, on a huge bluestone.
Taoist Zixia sat cross-legged here, facing the sunlight, with wisps of purple mist swirling and rising around him.
As he breathed in and out, the air he inhaled and exhaled through his mouth and nose was like a brilliant purple sun, so dazzling and magical.
His eyes were calm and indifferent, and he saw the scene outside Zixia Temple clearly.
However, Chu Chan's caution somewhat surprised him. She had a secret treasure on her that concealed the conversation between the siblings.
Naturally, he didn't want to find out what the two were talking about, so as to avoid any unexpected twists and turns.
With the arrival of Chu Chan, Chen Ning and others, Taoist Zixia also began to think about other things.
He did not interfere in the affairs of the siblings Chu Chan and Chu Yun.
After not finding anything unusual in them for many years, he gave up this path.
Now, Master Zixia's cave is about to be unveiled. He has been planning for many years and naturally will not allow any mistakes to happen.
"Zixia Zhenjun's cave is about to be unveiled. Who spread this news? It really ruins the Taoist's good fortune."
"I didn't expect that after just a period of seclusion, such a big change would happen after I woke up..."
"Who is behind this?"
"This Chu Chan may be related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise I would definitely keep her here. The core of the formation is still short of a lot of people."
“It’s just that since we are involved with the Xiangguo Mansion, we still need to be cautious to avoid our plans going to waste.”
Taoist Zixia looked indifferent.
Over the years, he certainly did not simply live in seclusion here to practice meditation.
He had already engraved formations on various mountaintops of Zixia Mountain, which had aroused the power of the earth dragon and attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as the cave of True Lord Zixia appeared in the world, this place would become a hopeless place with no way out.
After obtaining the inheritance of Master Zixia, he fled far away and changed his appearance, so he naturally did not have to worry about the terrible consequences that would follow.
…
When Chu Yun packed up his bag and came out of Zixia Temple leading a green ox with shiny hair, Chu Chan was shocked for a while.
Fortunately, Chu Yun explained it in time and she finally reacted.
Is it necessary to bring this ordinary blue cow with you? However, this was Chu Yun's private matter after all, so she didn't ask much, just thinking that he and the blue cow had developed feelings for each other and were reluctant to part.
None of the many Taoists in Zixia Temple tried to persuade Chu Yun to leave. After all, many of them had persecuted Chu Yun in the past, and they felt guilty and were afraid of retaliation in the future.
Taoist Zixia never showed up from beginning to end.
Chu Yun harbored hatred in his heart, waiting for an opportunity in the future to kill his enemy with his own hands, so he never showed any hatred from beginning to end.
Soon, the white jade chariot slowly left along the bamboo forest path it came from.
Chu Chan asked Chu Yun to follow behind, but due to the difference between men and women, she did not let him ride in the same car with her.
Not to mention that Chu Yun has grown up and is no longer the child she used to be. Even her current relationship with Jiang Lan requires her to keep a certain distance from any man, including her own brother.
Although she didn't care and wouldn't think too much about it, there was no guarantee that Jiang Lan would not have fantasies and misunderstandings after knowing it.
Moreover, she could feel that her brother Chu Yun had been in a depressed mood since he knew that she had given herself to Jiang Lan.
As an elder sister, she felt that she needed to correct Chu Yun's attachment mentality.
On the way leaving Zixia Temple, Chu Yun had already handed the jade pendant to Chu Chan.
Chu Chan carefully put it away, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. She also wanted to return to Anyang City as soon as possible and hand it over to Jiang Lan personally.
A few days passed in a flash again.
In Anyang city.
In the pavilion, Jiang Lan listened to Uncle Ying's investigation into the inheritance of True Lord Zixia as usual, and seemed bored.
However, what is different from the past is that now there is a middle-aged man with a feminine face beside him, Mr. Chu who appeared outside Qingshui Village.
A priest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a powerful being with the seventh realm of cultivation.
Even someone as strong as Uncle Ying had to be respectful in front of Mr. Chu.
The further one's cultivation progresses, the gap between each realm becomes like a chasm, which can be described as earth-shaking.
Although Uncle Ying is at the sixth level of the Divine Ability Realm, facing Mr. Chu at the seventh level of the Dharma Realm, he doesn't even have a chance to resist and will be easily suppressed.
After learning that Jiang Lan intended to seize the fortune inherited from Master Zixia, his parents were extremely happy. They specially sent a message to Mr. Chu, asking him to come to Anyang City to help Jiang Lan get the opportunity.
If anyone dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy. His attitude is extremely strong.
Jiang Lan was naturally happy to see this scene, but as he was familiar with the plot, he knew that Master Zixia's cave was located in a different dimension of time and space deep in Zixia Mountain, similar to a secret realm with restrictions on cultivation.
It is basically impossible for a being in the Seventh Realm to step into it, unless they suppress their cultivation. But once they display cultivation that exceeds the limit, they will be forcibly expelled, and may even fall into the turbulence of the void, with their bodies torn apart by the strong wind, and their body and soul destroyed.
However, he himself was not very interested in the inheritance of Master Zixia.
What he cared about was the Immortal Creation Dew in it, which was a magical object that could be used to conceal his cultivation in the future.
The Immortal Fetus Creation Dew can help him reshape his body and condense it into a flawless immortal fetus. The troubles brought by the seven-orifice immortal heart can also be easily solved.
He can't keep hiding the fact that he has cultivation skills; sooner or later it will be exposed.
Whether it is to face Jiang Ruxian's revenge in the future or to cover up his own secrets.
He must get the Immortal Fetus Creation Dew.
"In the original plot, it was still early for Jiang Ruxian to appear. She should still be on the Island of No Return."
"The Island of No Return is extremely far away from Zhongtianzhou. Even if we use the cross-domain teleportation array, it will take a long time to get there." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.
With his current speed of strength improvement, he will be able to compete with Jiang Ruxian even if he faces her later.
It's not that I have to worry about.
"Sir, Miss Chu Chan is back..."
Suddenly, the voice of a servant reporting from outside interrupted Jiang Lan's thoughts.
…
"Sure enough...Is it a failure?"
Island of No Return.
In an ancient bronze palace, filled with white mist, a woman whispered softly to herself. In her slender white palm lay an almost transparent autumn cicada, filled with the breath of time.
But at this moment, the autumn cicada seemed to have died and was dissipating into points of light in the sky.
The woman was dressed in white, with a graceful figure, a slender neck, fair skin and bones, as white as frost and snow, and exuding an amazing fairy spirit.
She sat cross-legged on a cushion with an amazing Taoist charm, with her head slightly lowered, quietly watching the autumn cicada in her hand disappear. Her long black hair fell down, covering her fairy-like face.
But her expression was very indifferent, as if nothing in the world could arouse her interest.
After a long time, the autumn cicada completely disappeared and turned into dust all over the sky, and she had nothing else in her hand.
The woman looked at all this in a daze, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
Although the voice is as beautiful as the sound of nature, it cannot hide the fatigue, bitterness of vicissitudes of life, and self-deprecation.
"Is fate...really unchangeable?"
"I even found the legendary Year Cicada, and I can travel through the long river of time and go back to the past."
"But why, still nothing can be changed."
"Still... I still can't go back to that moment."
She laughed at herself, but her slender white hands were clenched tightly. Even though her palms were warm and blood was dripping, she seemed unaware of it.
To travel through the long river of time, one needs to bear endless cause and effect. Even if one is a cicada, it will continue to become transparent while traveling.
And its complete blurring and disappearance meant that she had reached the end and could no longer take even a single step forward.
In a vast world, over the long course of time, there is only a slim chance that a rare creature like the Age Cicada will appear.
In her previous life, she had achieved sainthood and was invincible, but she was unwilling to become an immortal. Instead, she traveled through three thousand worlds and searched all forbidden areas, just to find the legendary Time Cicada that could reverse the past.
Thousands of years have passed, the sea has turned to dust, and the stars have moved.
Scenes from the past now come to my mind one after another, as if it were yesterday.
She thought that her state of mind had already reached perfection and nothing in the world could affect her, but at this moment she still felt a stabbing pain.
In the Saint Realm Heart Demon Tribulation, in that familiar courtyard, maple leaves fluttered and fell, and a gentle young man in white clothes stroked his heart pierced by a long sword. His clothes were all red. He looked at her and asked blankly, "Sister... why do you want to kill me?"
"Did I... do something wrong?"
She thought that after so many years, the memory that she had deliberately forgotten had long since disappeared, but when the catastrophe of her inner demon came, she suddenly discovered that it had always been there, but she had buried it deep in her heart and dared not touch it.
The edge of memory is bloody and every time I touch it, my heart aches and I feel like I'm suffocating.
He is not wrong.
The only one who is wrong is myself.
