Chapter 28 028 Although we met by fate, there should be no ties between us.
The little spirit beast did not answer when it heard this, but jumped off Lu Qingqing's shoulder and stood steadily on a rock on the top of the mountain.
It gazed at the mountains in the distance, its eyes flickering and moving, as if filled with a magnificent sight.
The setting sun cast a warm and soft halo on the little spirit beast, and the mountain breeze blew up its golden fur, making it look majestic even though it was just a kitten.
It's as if it was born with grace, dignity and majesty.
Lu Qingqing was actually quite absorbed in watching.
After a while, the little spirit beast spoke: "Perhaps, the path guided by the secret realm is the way home."
In fact, Lu Qingqing also had this guess.
The Way of Heaven emphasizes following nature, while also secretly maintaining the principle of having a beginning and an end, and an endless cycle.
This secret realm created by the ancient gods must also operate according to these rules.
She fell off a cliff and accidentally entered the Shura Secret Realm. Now it is not impossible for her to return to reality from the iceberg.
"So, Mao Rongrong, I have to say goodbye to you here."
The little spirit beast turned its head and met Lu Qingqing's rippling and smiling eyes.
At this moment, she was neither as desperate as when she fought against the monster, nor as childish as when she joked with it.
Lu Qingqing now has a maturity and calmness far beyond her age.
This is very important for cultivators.
It turned its head and continued to look at the distant mountains and the sunset. "Yes."
Lu Qingqing seemed to see many emotions in the little spirit beast's eyes just now - although each one was vague and unclear.
But she was sure that the other party at least did not despise her as an ordinary monk.
"Oh, right." Lu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh as she remembered something. "We've been through life and death together, but I don't know each other's names. My name is Lu Qingqing, and I'm currently a casual cultivator."
After listening to Lu Qingqing's self-introduction, the little spirit beast hummed.
“…”
It seems that this little thing doesn't want to tell her its name.
It wasn't hard to understand. Perhaps for her, this journey to the secret realm was a life-or-death experience, unforgettable. But the little spirit beast had reached its current level of cultivation by at least several hundred years. In its long life, it must have experienced countless life-or-death trials and encountered many people and events.
Although we meet by fate, there should be no ties between us.
In this way, she became confused and her faith in the Tao was not firm.
Lu Qingqing's greatest strength is that she is open-minded and takes things as they come and go as they come.
She smiled and said, "I hope everything goes well for you in the future, that you can cultivate quickly and reach the great path soon."
This time the little spirit beast replied quickly.
It said: "May all your wishes come true."
Lu Qingqing's heart trembled slightly.
Before he could react, he saw the little spirit beast leap up, and its nimble and agile body drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and instantly disappeared into the clouds surrounded by snow-capped mountains and glaciers.
In the blink of an eye, only the whistling mountain wind and the blood-red setting sun were left to accompany her.
The little spirit beast's departure was as sudden as its appearance.
Everything in the world of cultivation is so difficult to understand.
A helpless smile slowly crept up Lu Qingqing's cheek, but there was a hint of calmness and relief in her eyes.
Since Mao Rongrong has left and this place is absolutely safe in the short term, Lu Qingqing plans to do something before going back.
She found a sheltered place, sat cross-legged, and entered the storage space.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Lu Qingqing was shocked.
The current space can indeed be called a cave.
The walls and floors have been turned into clean bluestone slabs, and the gilded wall lamps have simple and elegant patterns, and they contain lamp oil with a subtle fragrance.
The previous stone tables and stone benches have disappeared, replaced by tables and benches made of jade, which are glossy and smooth.
What made Lu Qingqing most satisfied was a low couch on the side of the wall, with a cushion woven from some unknown plant on it.
Sitting on it can help you concentrate and calm down quickly, which is magical.
She was delighted, thinking that she could enter her own space to practice in the future, and the effect would surely be no worse than that in the secret realm.
After admiring the new space, Lu Qingqing took out the ice scorpion grass from her waist and placed it solemnly on the jade Eight Immortals table.
——This is something she risked her life to get, and it must be placed in the safest place.
When Lu Qingqing came out of the space, the scenery on the top of the mountain had changed again.
The setting sun was almost completely swallowed up by the dark blue clouds, the snow-capped mountains were dyed with deep and heavy colors, and the mountain wind became more fierce.
She stood up and looked into the distance, where there were mountains and rolling clouds.
It's time to leave.
Lu Qingqing stepped onto the huge rock where the little spirit beast had stood before. The wind was howling, and the front was in chaos and darkness.
She closed her eyes and jumped down calmly.
Even though she was mentally prepared, the momentary weightlessness still made Lu Qingqing feel a little uncomfortable.
But the feeling of weightlessness was soon replaced by a comfortable feeling of being enveloped in air. Before Lu Qingqing could react, she felt as if someone was pulling her outward, and once again felt the powerlessness of falling rapidly.
"thump--"
Lu Qingqing fell into the warm and salty water, and the splashes startled the colorful little fish.
Through the light green sea water, you can vaguely see the strange colors cast by the sunlight.
After floating up for a moment, Lu Qingqing came out.
The weather was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea was a vast expanse of emerald green. Looking around, a small pier was faintly visible in the distance.
Lu Qingqing was in a good mood. Since she had finally come to the Nanbi Sea, she might as well swim to the shore.
She had a graceful figure, like a mermaid, sometimes jumping to the surface of the water, sometimes diving into the water, attracting countless fish to circle around her and play.
Lu Qingqing was not opposed to it and even reached out to interact with them.
When I floated to the surface again, I saw a small boat appear in my sight. It seemed to be floating, but it was actually very stable.
Just as I was about to marvel at the man's skill and courage, I saw a tall man in white bending down and emerging from the black sail, walking onto the bow.
Lu Qingqing looked closely and found that the person was none other than Jiang Jun.
He held a compass in his left hand and was counting something with his right hand.
Lu Qingqing was naturally happy to meet her old friend.
She remembered what Jiang Qingbo had said before - maybe after removing Jiang Jun's evil restriction, he would forget her.
During the few seconds of hesitation, Jiang Jun at the bow seemed to have sensed something, and he turned slightly to look over.
The next moment, Jiang Jun's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.
“Qingqing!”
The other party did not lose his memory. Lu Qingqing smiled brightly and waved at him, "Ajun, I'm back."
…
Lu Qingqing took the dry towel handed to her by Jiang Jun and wiped her wet hair neatly.
Clothes can be dried in an instant using internal energy, but hair takes some time.
She looked up, her tone full of surprise.
"Ajun, did you come here specifically to look for me?"
Jiang Jun no longer had the silly look he had before. His eyes were now clear and bright. His smile was like sunshine, lively and vivid. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a handsome and noble young man.
"Luckily I didn't lose my memory after the ban was lifted," he said with a smile. "My father forced me to practice for the past month, so I finally got a little rest these past few days. I got a fortune telling this morning, and it showed that I'd meet an old friend today. I guessed it was you, so I asked for another fortune telling to see where I could go to meet you."
Lu Qingqing couldn't help feeling a little sentimental.
Compared to the previous silly "Songzhu", the articulate, smart and gentle Jiang Jun is indeed better.
"Ajun, it's great that you can recover as before."
"I have to thank you for this." Jiang Jun's cheeks flushed slightly as if he was recalling the past. "When I was demented, my words and actions were offensive. I hope you don't mind."
Lu Qingqing waved her hand to indicate that it was no problem.
"But..." She was suddenly startled, "I've been away from Fuxi Hall for a month?"
Lu Qingqing understood the principle that "one day in the fairyland is one year in the human world", but she did not expect that the secret realm created by the gods would have such a huge time difference with the human world.
Jiang Jun nodded and smiled bitterly, "I was trained so hard by Old Jiang that every day felt like a year. I remember every day vividly."
Lu Qingqing chuckled, "If Uncle Jiang knew you called him Old Jiang behind his back, you'd get scolded again."
"Don't tell him." Jiang Jun made a "hush" gesture and sighed, "But now that the old man knows that you have reached the Dan stage, I'm afraid he will ask me to go into seclusion soon."
No one knows a father better than his son. When Jiang Qingbo saw Lu Qingqing, his first reaction was to congratulate her on her successful advancement to the Golden Core cultivator. Then he began to criticize his son for his lack of progress. He decided on the spot that Jiang Jun would go into seclusion to practice the next day and was not allowed to come out until he advanced to the intermediate Foundation Establishment stage.
Jiang Jun directly performed a breakdown.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qingbo is a man of his word and resistance is futile.
"Qingqing, have a drink with me tonight." Jiang Jun was about to cry but couldn't. He looked pitiful. "The reward before the retreat is very important."
"No problem." I just came out of the Shura Secret Realm, so it's okay to relax a little.
"Don't get drunk," Jiang Qingbo warned sternly. "It will not only affect your cultivation, but also disturb your mind."
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry." Lu Qingqing immediately assured, "It's just a small drink, I won't drink too much."
Jiang Qingbo showed an admiring expression, "Qingqing has a strong character. No wonder she was able to find an opportunity in the Shura Secret Realm and break through to form a pill."
"I'm lucky." Lu Qingqing looked at the slightly worn cone hat in her hand and said gratefully, "If it weren't for the special mechanism you made for me, Uncle Jiang, I don't know what would have happened to me."
After that, she briefly told Jiang Qingbo about how the invisible needle had hit the enemy several times.
"It is the greatest joy for us craftsmen that the artifacts we create can save their owners' lives." Jiang Qingbo, a Yuanying master with extensive experience, did not make a fuss, but only smiled and said, "Qingqing, stay here for a few more days. I will make you a better cone hat."
Lu Qingqing clasped her fists and saluted, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Fuxi Hall has a quiet environment and is guarded by masters. The mountain is densely packed with traps and restrictions, making it a great place for her to calm down and practice swordsmanship.
The effect of the medicine that hides her charm only lasts for one month, so we must seize every moment.
