Chapter 420: We've Turned the Game Around
The round and shining stone egg gradually changed its shape in full view of everyone.
First it gradually became slender, then a pair of wings grew, and later another pair grew.
The two pairs of wings grew bigger and bigger, blooming with brilliant light, and finally, under the gaze of everyone, they turned into a butterfly half the height of a human.
The butterfly slowly flapped its colorful wings, circling gracefully and elegantly in the air for several circles, circling around Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing looked at the butterfly with deep eyes and spoke softly.
"Qianlong...where is your master?"
The butterfly circled around her again and flew towards her wrist. After a flash of light, it turned into a birthmark-like mark and became silent.
The difference from before was that this mark was colorful, clearly a smaller version of the butterfly just now, and it no longer absorbed Yun Qingqing's spiritual power and merits.
Qingpingzi and several elders watched all this in amazement, until this moment, they finally came to their senses.
Taoist Qingpingzi sighed:
"Little Daoist Fellow Yun is indeed the legendary figure... What did you just call that butterfly?"
"Thousand Illusion Butterfly..." Yun Qingqing whispered, "It is the last Illusion Butterfly in the world, and it is Qi Mo's spiritual pet."
When the old Taoists heard the last sentence, their faces changed and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Before they could ask, a chuckle suddenly came from the cave, and a clear voice echoed in the empty cave.
"You're finally here! You've kept me waiting so long~!"
The Taoists gasped and turned around to look around, holding their whisks tightly in their hands and looking alert.
Qingchenzi suddenly pointed at the statue and said:
"Look! The statue of our founder...!"
Only then did everyone realize that the statue was actually glowing slightly.
The light emanated from the entire body of the statue, then gradually shrank and gathered at the center of the eyebrows. Finally, a spot of light emerged from the center of the eyebrows, came in front of Yun Qingqing, and turned into a human figure.
Several Taoist priests gasped in shock.
"Grandmaster!"
"This... is a trace of spiritual consciousness left by the ancestor!"
"Heaven has eyes, the ancestor has appeared!"
The old Taoists, led by Qingpingzi, all knelt down.
This man's clothing and appearance are exactly the same as the statue. He is undoubtedly the founder of their Tianxuan Sect!
Qi Mo is his Taoist name!
That's why everyone was so surprised when Yun Qingqing said the name Qi Mo just now.
But then the spirit came in front of Yun Qingqing, knelt down and saluted as a disciple, looked up at her with a bright smile, and a hint of cunning:
"Master! You've finally returned... I'm the winner this time, right?"
"Qi Mo..."
Yun Qingqing put her hands behind her back, lowered her eyes, looked at him intently, and breathed softly.
This is her most mischievous disciple, and also the most creative one. He loves to do all kinds of weird things all day long and is keen on setting traps for her as his master.
Of course, I have never succeeded. I get punished badly every time, but I still dare to do it next time.
The statue looked exactly like Qi Mo, but the serious and dignified expression had nothing to do with him.
However, when Yun Qingqing saw the statue and had her spiritual power absorbed by the strange egg, the familiar feeling of a little expert in digging pits was already about to emerge, so she let it go.
Yun Qingqing had a thousand thoughts in her mind, and she slowly stretched out a hand. Qi Mo's spirit grinned and chuckled, holding her hand and standing up. However, his soul could not actually touch a living person, so he just pretended to support her.
"Master, this time it should be successful, right? Did it scare you?" Qi Mo continued to ask the question that concerned him most after he stood up.
Yun Qingqing curled her lips slightly and nodded slightly:
"Well, you win this time."
Qi Mo smiled like a child:
"Master said that if I can win, you must agree to one condition. Then I'll ask you to take good care of Qianlong for me from now on!"
Yun Qingqing frowned slightly:
"Where is your real body?"
"Well..." Qi Mo touched the back of his head, "I probably have no idea how many lives I've been born into..."
“…” Yun Qingqing rubbed her eyebrows.
Two thousand years ago, spiritual energy began to dry up, and her old friends probably passed away one by one with the end of the times. This was something she had already understood.
The disciple's spirit stood before her, as smart, lively and annoying as it was more than two thousand years ago, which inevitably gave her some hope.
"Master, don't be sad," Qi Mo blinked his starry eyes, took out a handkerchief with some strange things stuck on it from his arms, and spoke obediently.
"Master, if you want to cry, just cry. Ah Mo will help you wipe your tears..."
Yun Qingqing: "...Get lost."
"Hehe, okay~" Qi Mo chuckled regretfully, stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, and retreated swiftly.
Yun Qingqing took a deep breath and decided to ask the most important question first:
"You also knew I would come back? How did you know?"
When she was in the Seven Stars Palace, she realized that Ji Xuanyuan anticipated that she would return to this world one day.
This unreliable disciple now is obviously the same, and he even left a wisp of spiritual consciousness here waiting for him.
Qi Mo's eyes were blank for a moment, and he said:
"Disciples all know this. I don't have much time, so let's not talk about this for now. Disciples of Tianxuan Sect, listen to my orders!"
Qingpingzi and the others were standing by with their magic sticks in a daze, watching this astonishing scene. Upon hearing this, they quickly responded, "Disciple is here!"
Qi Mo curled his lips and smiled: "Take good care of Master for me, or I will punish you for the crime of betraying your master and destroying your ancestors!"
"Disciple, obey your command!" everyone answered hurriedly.
Yun Qingqing: “…”
She really wanted to complain about how this weak spiritual consciousness that was about to dissipate had the confidence to threaten these disciples.
But my heart ached and I couldn't say anything.
Qi Mo, relying on his seniority, made some harsh remarks to his disciples, then looked at Yun Qingqing with a smile:
"Master, you must travel more in the world. They have left something for you..."
Yun Qingqing watched Qi Mo's figure become more and more transparent, and her heart tightened:
"etc!"
Qi Mo smiled at him calmly and spoke faster:
"It's been so long, I've lost some of my memory, but I still remember Xiaowu placed Liufang in the west. Master, please find time to get it as soon as possible..."
He suddenly revealed a triumphant smile:
"Master~, you disappeared right before us like that back then. It was really too much... Master, goodbye..."
Qi Mo's shadow completely dissipated, leaving behind only a sigh of satisfaction:
"Finally, I managed to win a game... Hehe!"
Yun Qingqing silently stretched out her hand, but in the end she was unable to hold anything, only the breeze passed through her fingers.
Several old Taoist priests of Tianxuan Sect were still kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the disappearance of the spiritual phantom of the founder, and were speechless for a long time.
It was Qingpingzi who came to his senses first. He finally understood the purpose of the secret sect rule.
"Grandmaster, please accept me as your disciple!"
