Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

As the suzerain successor of Huaxin Sect, since I have returned to Peach Blossom Land, I will naturally go to the small valley of Huaxin Sect to rest. Although Feng Ruyu seems to be very indifferent to me, in fact she is very concerned about me, but she usually doesn't show it.The small courtyard where I live has already been arranged, and she also sent someone to clean up the elegant courtyard, and all the utensils in the courtyard are also available. Feng Ruyu sat with me in the small courtyard, before she even asked me a few words about my cultivation, delicate pastries and food were brought up like a stream of water.

Xiao Tie was born in the Yuren clan who could hardly even eat enough to eat. How could he have seen such a wide variety of delicious pastries!He stared at the food in front of him without blinking, swallowing from time to time. A little smile appeared on Feng Ruyu's cold face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, saying: "In terms of seniority, you are my disciple and grandson, and you can also be regarded as the younger half master of my Huaxin sect. You can eat whatever you want, without restraint." No matter how courageous Xiao Tie is, he is still a child after all, and he is still a little scared when he arrives in a completely strange place, not to mention that we humans are a completely different race from their feathered ones.He looked at me, the question in his eyes was very obvious, I smiled and said: "You are welcome here, you can do it yourself if you want to eat."

The little guy cheered, and even the pair of small wings on his back vibrated twice, and he grabbed the glass cake that he had been coveting for a long time and stuffed it into his mouth. The centipede hidden in Xiao Tie's hair twisted her body, Feng Ruyu frowned slightly, waved her hand calmly, and a green thread flew out of her cuff like lightning. I saw that it was terrible, and forgot to introduce Tian Centenary.However, Feng Ruyu's cultivation base has reached the peak of the first-class master on the earth, so he will not be injured by the young centipede. The green line was retracted in a blink of an eye, Tian Centipede poked its head out from Xiaotie's head, and screamed "Hehe" to demonstrate to her.Feng Ruyu couldn't hide a look of surprise from the corners of her eyes, and said to me: "What is this? The teeth are terribly sharp. My 'green brocade thread' is also specially made. Although it is not invulnerable, even ordinary experts can Difficult to break."

The little thing swayed its upper body and yelled triumphantly, as if it could feel proud that it could bite off the enemy's weapon with one bite. At this time, it flapped its wings and wanted to fly out.I glared at it fiercely, and it shrank back in fright, before saying to Feng Ruyu, "Sect Master, this is a space alien creature that I happened to tame in the universe, and it's still in its infancy at the moment." "Oh," Feng Ruyu nodded, looked at Xiao Tie, who was obsessed with delicious food, and said calmly, "This child is a blessed person." I know what she means, although in her opinion, Xiao Tie's roots are absolutely impossible to cultivate to the level of a top expert, but with the help of this powerful space alien creature, no matter how powerful the enemy is in the future, self-protection must be is no problem.

Feng Ruyu stared at me for a few times and said: "Your Huaxin has all been abolished. You must know that the successor of my Huaxin Sect must cultivate Huaxin to the Mahayana state before he can inherit the position of suzerain." I chuckled and said, "Actually, I never thought of succeeding the Huaxin Sect's suzerain. I can't stand restraint." I saw her face suddenly darken, and immediately changed her words: "However, I have already promised you, the suzerain, you must be trustworthy, don't you?" Feng Ruyu's complexion improved a little, and she snorted and said, "Call me Master from now on, don't call me Sovereign, it will make you look good."

I hurriedly said: "Yes, Master." This Master has a bit of a temper and is not so easy to serve. Feng Ruyu said: "I also know that you are the most talented person I have ever met. Huaxinzong's method is not suitable for you. You can create a method that suits you, and you already have the ability to establish a sect." But you have learned a lot of my Taohuayuan's secret exercises, which are not rumored, so you must inherit the position of suzerain of Huaxin Sect. Besides, this position does not wrong you. If you have mastered power and money, you can Do more of what you want to do."

I said casually, "I have to bear a lot of responsibility." She gave me an annoyed look and said, "Is there any good thing in the world that just takes advantage and doesn't take responsibility? Do you think it's easy to be the head of the family?" I thought that Duguqi spent his whole life seeking to master more powerful power in order to be able to do things as he pleases, but he didn't want to take any responsibility.In other words, he wants to dominate the world, but when the world is facing destruction, as long as it doesn't threaten him, he will just sit on the sidelines.He is seeking absolute freedom, absolute freedom without any imprisonment or restriction.

She asked me about the universe and aliens again, and I told some unimaginable things, she said: "You have worked hard all the way in the universe, take a good rest, and report to those two old guys tomorrow About the fire crow." Xiao Tie had already eaten until his stomach was bloated, but he still looked at the delicious food on the table reluctantly. I laughed and said, "You ate your belly so much, but you forgot that the little guy on your head hasn't eaten for almost a day." Tian Centipede is very smart, and when we heard about it, it hurriedly got out from Xiaotie's thick hair, revealing a pair of small red eyes, looking back and forth between Xiaotie and me.

Xiao Tie said with an "oops": "Our meteorite fell into the battleship, and we forgot to bring it here, what should we do?" I glanced at the celestial centipede on his head. This little thing is wild and untamed. Although it regards Xiao Tie as a friend, it doesn't like Xiao Tie's cultivation, so if something happens, it won't I bowed my head to Xiao Tie, although he was afraid of me, but I couldn't always be by Xiao Tie's side, so I said, "Let's starve it for a day first." Xiao Tie said with a mournful face: "It's hard to be hungry, why don't we go back to the battleship now."

The centipede screamed loudly, its two small eyes looked very angry.I thought to myself that this little thing is getting smarter and smarter. After staying with us for a long time, he can understand a lot of the meaning of what we say. I gave it a blank look, and said to Xiaotie: "Don't worry, you can't starve to death for a day. This kind of alien alien creature in space is fine even if you don't eat for ten days and a half months. Do you think it is so easy to find meteorites in space? It’s not something that can be encountered every day, like they may not be able to find a piece of meteorite in ten days and half a month, and even if they find it, they may not be able to eat enough, so don’t worry about it.”

The centipede "Zhizhi" flew towards me screaming crazily, and the lightning shot directly between its teeth. In just a few days, the power of the lightning increased a lot. I stretched out a finger, and the white dark energy oozes out like mercury. It first neutralized the lightning power on the Celestial Centipede, and then flicked it a somersault, flying far away. Reason overcame anger, and the centipede flapped its wings and flew back to Xiaotie's head, knowing that Xiaotie could protect it. I said: "Don't worry about it, you won't starve to death if you don't eat it for a day. Tomorrow we will go to the Tanlang Temple. Uncle Bei is good at forging sharp weapons. He should have a lot of refined iron there. I hope this little thing will not be too picky. otherwise……" Xiao Tie said nervously: "Otherwise what?" "Of course I'm going to be hungry for a while." I glanced at the centipede lying on the little iron head and said, "Okay, don't worry about it, I'll take you to rest." The next day, I woke up Xiao Tie early and took Xiao Tie to meet the high priest Song Tianyue, and got a dozen bottles and jars full of pills.These elixirs were all made by the high priest himself, and their potency is naturally extraordinary. The high priest is really generous. After paying homage to the high priest, we went to Jiuxinzong to meet Master Beiqianshan. We sat around a marble table, and on the table were several jars of mellow old wine and some appetizers.The appetizers are very simple, some boiled centipedes with a strong aroma, and some fried golden scorpions. After listening to me about the origin of the centipede, Uncle Bei picked up the wine jar and took two big gulps, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the centipede holding a small piece of refined iron the size of a fist in his paws." "Crack, click" and said: "The old man is fortunate to be able to see such alien creatures in space before he dies in this life. He really has all kinds of extraordinary things. This child is very lucky. Lan Hu, you can give the centipede to yourself Apprentice, such a mind also makes me admire. Take a big sip!" I picked up the wine jar in front of me and touched Master Bei, and took a big sip happily. I am used to the "five elements poison wine", and other wines are as light as tea, but this wine is Master Bei. Well-crafted spirits.In the refreshing morning, two or three bosom friends sat around the stone table, surrounded by green trees, fried scorpions and boiled centipedes as appetizers, drinking a sip of fine wine, the mood was extraordinarily happy. Uncle Bei smiled and watched Xiao Tie grabbing a deep-fried scorpion and gnawed hard, and said to me with a smile: "This child has my appetite, before leaving Taohuayuan these days, let this child follow me for a few days. There are two or three unique skills passed to him." I am overjoyed, thank you for Xiaotie first.Martial Uncle Bei drank two more sips of wine, and chatted very enthusiastically: "That old lady Feng Ruyu said that the child's bones are not good, but it is true that the child's bones are not good. It is true that the bones are not good, but it doesn't matter. We martial arts practitioners pay more attention to it. Mind, only a good mind can achieve something. Besides, the root bones can be changed slowly after the day after tomorrow." I discussed martial arts with Master Bei again. The high priest and Master Feng came to Master Bei's Temple of Greedy Wolf one after another. The gathering of the three of them is naturally something important. Taohuayuan is most concerned about the fire crow. I can come back alive, which means that I will not be defeated in the battle with Huoya, otherwise with Huoya's character, I will never allow Tanlang's spokesperson to survive. So I started from the fifth planet and told them under what circumstances I met Duguqi, when the smart Duguqi was controlled by the awakened Fire Crow, and how Duguqi robbed the Nine Xuangui The source of life of Zhu and the Golden Crow God of War, and was forced to leave Houyi Star under the pursuit of the Houyi royal family, snatched a battleship and fled back to the earth... The three of them heard me say that Shenlong and Xuangui would eventually merge into Xuanwu—the most powerful intelligent creature in the universe so far. The news that a powerful force had returned to Earth did not surprise them. The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they regarded themselves as frogs in a well. The world is so big and full of wonders, who would dare to say that he is the strongest in the world? When the three of them recovered from the shock, Master Feng said: "Three and a half months ago, there was a strong explosion in the Luoyan Mountains. Afterwards, we sent people to check the cause, but that is the sphere of influence of the Western Federal Government, etc. When our people arrived, the explosion site had been cleaned up, and our people only found a few unremarkable metal remains at the explosion site. According to the research on several metal remains, we found that they do not belong to our earth .” The high priest said: "In terms of time, it is more consistent with what Lan Hu said. The metal wreckage should be the fragments after the battleship exploded. According to this speculation, the explosion was probably caused by the battleship Dugu Qi was riding on hitting the mountain range." I said: "Duguqi was chased and killed by many masters of the Houyi royal family on the Houyi planet, so it should be too late to make complete preparations. He snatched a battleship, and I am afraid he did not prepare enough energy, so it is very likely that he will enter the earth. In the atmosphere, the battleship has exhausted its energy, and finally lost control and collided with the mountains. Since the explosion was so tragic, will Duguqi...will be smashed to pieces in the explosion?" Northern Martial Master Su Rong said: "Lan Hu must not guess like this, think that the fire crow is one of the four ancient beasts, and it can still survive after being sealed for nearly ten thousand years, even if its power is only consumed by one ten thousandth, And they won't die in a mere explosion." The high priest nodded slowly and said: "According to the records of our Peach Blossom Spring, the fire crow was born with the essence of fire, the power of the explosion will not kill it, on the contrary, the raging flames produced by the explosion will It gave it enormous strength to survive that horrific explosion." Master Feng said: "The two brothers' guesses are very reasonable. Assuming that it is indeed the battleship driven by Duguqi, if Duguqi is not dead, no matter whether he is Huoya or Duguqi, it is impossible for him to be silent for more than three months. Since he did not How can you explain that Dugu Qi has not been seen in the past few months?" "It may be healing." The high priest smiled wryly and said, "Maybe it can only be explained in this way. After all, the explosion was very powerful. He needs to find a safe place to extract the power from the source of life of the Nine Profound Turtle Pearl and the Golden Crow God of War." Master Feng didn't continue to argue, and said: "I will continue to send people all over the world to closely monitor Duguqi's movements." She glanced at me, a gentle look flashed across her eyes, and said: "Can I cancel the mission of my useless disciple, and send someone else to continue this mission?" Although it was a question, her tone was nonchalant The meaning of the inquiry is self-evident to my maintenance. The high priest and Uncle Bei looked at each other, and smiled wryly at Master Feng's sudden calf protection. The high priest glanced at me, then looked at Master Feng and said, "Lanhu went from the earth to the alien planet, and then returned to the earth from the alien planet. The hardships are self-evident. It doesn't need to be said by the younger sister, we also feel the same. But, younger sister, Although we know that you are loving and protecting your disciples, the pursuit and killing of the Sealing Fire Crow was determined by the greedy wolf we have always enshrined, how can this be easily changed?" Master Feng snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, I can't let my apprentices and grandchildren have accidents, and my lineage of the Huaxin Sect depends on them to inherit." Uncle Bei scolded: "Nonsense! When Lan Hu came out of Taohuayuan and was ordered to seal Huo Ya, his cultivation level, at that time, the three of us knew it, and there was a big difference between us. Look at Lan Hu's now. The cultivation level has obviously surpassed the three of us old guys by a head. Is it because the three old guys have less experience than Lan Hu, or is their understanding not as good as Lan Hu's? Lan Hu's cultivation base today is all because he constantly breaks through the barriers under pressure. To. This is his great opportunity. Maybe one day he can break through the limitations like the four great beasts and roam freely in the universe. Protecting him now is harming him. The so-called loving mother loses out, how can he grow without going through wind and rain? " Master Feng suddenly opened his almond eyes. Although she is old, she can still infer her youthful charm from her current appearance.Master Feng said bitterly: "My apprentice, I can do whatever I want, it's not up to you! Do you think I'm discussing with you? I'm just letting you know. I'd rather he didn't have any big chances, I don't want him to be in danger!" Seeing the three of them arguing about me, I was moved in my heart. Master Feng's attitude towards me was completely different from when he accepted me as an apprentice. Although it seemed quite unreasonable at the moment, I was full of joy and willingly called her master.Such a master is more likable than a cold appearance all day long. Uncle Bei said: "This is not your apprentice alone. Don't forget, he has also learned the 'Beast King's Ten Forms' and 'Coiling Dragon Kung Fu' from the principal at the Pet Beast School. He has also been taught by the immortal master Li Sheng. He also learned alchemy from Gao Yueru, don't forget that he also has Roland who treats him like a son!" Feng Ruyu said disdainfully: "So what? We are in Taohuayuan now, and I am the only one present among these people, so I have the final say!" Uncle Bei said angrily: "You unreasonable old woman, your doting on him has hurt him!" The two quarreled more and more intensely, and the high priest said helplessly: "Should we ask the person's opinion? After all, he is not a child anymore, he has his own ideas. If he is not willing to bear the responsibility of sealing the fire crow, I and Junior Brother Qianshan will not blame him." The three of them looked at me in unison. Feeling the different emotions contained in the three pairs of gazes, I said slowly: "Everything should have a beginning and an end." "Okay!" Master Bei immediately shouted "Okay", but I didn't dare to look up at Master Feng Ruyu's expression. Finally, I couldn't help taking a peek at Master Feng, and I saw that her expression was disappointment mixed with admiration, which was quite strange.She got up quickly and left. I was stunned, and the high priest reminded me: "Why don't you go out and pay your master? Junior sister Ruyu really likes you as an apprentice, and I'm afraid that something might happen to you." Uncle Bei also smiled and said, "Your master is notoriously narrow-minded, no matter how much you are taught, as long as you don't talk back, she will soon soften her heart." I shook my head with a wry smile, and chased him out. Master Feng didn't walk fast, but seemed to be walking in a valley, as if he was deliberately waiting for me to catch up. I walked to her side and said cautiously: "Master, you are not angry with me, are you?" She let out a soft breath and said, "Do you think Master is really as stingy as your two uncles said?" Ken was definitely not angry when he opened his mouth, so I also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You can even guess what the two uncles are saying." She snorted through her nostrils and said, "I couldn't guess it at first, but now I guess it." The smile on my face faltered instantly. She sighed: "Forget it, boys always want to go out and venture out. Since you want to make an end with Fire Crow, I can't stop you. Which good man doesn't have ambitions? If you don't have ambitions, I will see too." You can't afford it. But you have to be careful, even if the hairy phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, the fire crow is one of the four great ancient beasts, and now it has absorbed a Nine Profound Turtle Orb and the origin of the Golden Crow God of War, its power will be geometric progression Growth, you must not be brave. If you are really lost, escape back and leave the green hills, no fear of no firewood. Hmm...Leave Xiao Tie in Taohuayuan, it is not safe outside, he will follow you as a little boy, It's unbearable." I chuckled lightly and said, "I never thought that Master would be so considerate of his disciples." Master Feng turned his head and gave me a sideways glance, and said, "I'm not thinking of the Huaxin Sect, and I don't want the future heir to die young." I said: "I originally planned to take Xiaotie to the beast school to study for a few years." Master Feng said disdainfully: "What can the pet beast school teach? How can it be as good as our Taohuayuan's thousands of years of inheritance? Besides, how can our Huaxin Sect disciples be taught by others?" Master Feng's stubbornness made me a little helpless. The meridian physique of the Yuren tribe is very different from that of human beings, and the exercises they practice have already been determined, which can only be "Flying Secrets".Originally, I thought the headmaster was well-informed, and many of the beast warriors had wings, so there might be something for him to learn from.Since Master Feng is unwilling to hand over Xiao Tie to others, he can only follow her wishes and leave Xiao Tie in Taohuayuan for the time being. Master Feng said: "These days, you should stay in the Taohuayuan first. As for whether you want to be a little drunkard, I'm up to you. I will let people outside collect information. After a few days, you Let's go to the Luoyan Mountains first, where the explosion took place, and you may be able to find some clues." I smiled and said: "Master is so thoughtful, how dare you disobey your master's order as an apprentice?" After that, I drank with Uncle Bei every morning, and discussed some issues about alchemy with the high priest in the afternoon.If you want to integrate everything you have learned, you must solve all the problems you encounter. It is obviously a good choice to ask the knowledgeable high priest.In the evening, I found a place in the small valley of the Huaxin Sect to absorb the power of the stars, and at the same time digest the memory of the Xuanwu that I swallowed that day. Some of the things I have learned from Xuanwu's memory will also be unreservedly passed on to Master Feng, Uncle Bei and the High Priest.
