Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 257 Compromise, the next stop is the Holy Spirit Bead
On Shu Mountain, disciples patrolled more frequently than usual. All disciples were fully armed, and they felt nervous as if a powerful enemy was approaching.

When Xu Changqing's flying boat appeared in the Shushan warning array, the person in charge of monitoring was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He stood up and shouted: "It's Senior Brother! Senior Brother is back!"

Suddenly, Shushan, which was originally in a tense atmosphere due to the leader's order, was boiling with excitement. The disciples rushed to tell each other and spread the news of the return of the senior brother.

"Senior Brother Leader, Sir, he is back!"

In the main hall of Shushan, Canggu, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, heard the noise outside and ended his training. He opened his eyes and looked at the head brother Qingwei.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided." Qingwei sighed lightly, then stood up and walked out, "Let's go and have a look together."

After that day, the imagined chaos in the human world did not appear. Instead, it seemed to be a false alarm, and the six realms remained peaceful.

So a glimmer of hope emerged in their hearts, maybe Chang Qing and the others had really solved their evil thoughts.

But if the evil thoughts are really solved, then why are these five old guys not dead yet?
This again confused them.

Therefore, Shushan has been on high alert during this period, just in case.

Chang Yin had no choice but to give his senior brother a look that was asking for blessings, and then stepped aside.

Hearing that his most proud disciple called himself an unworthy disciple, Canggu's heart burned with anger, and he said angrily: "I don't have a disciple like you. As a senior brother of Shushan, you are deceived by the witch."

Xu Changqing made a plop and knelt down with Qing'er in his arms.

"It's just that the water spirit pearl is on Qing'er."

"Please master, please save Qing'er!"

Canggu, who was distracted by evil thoughts, never thought that he would actually let this demon girl steal his home, and he also complained a little about Senior An.

In order to eliminate evil thoughts, they even thought of dying with them.

It really makes them unbelievable!

Because when they were in Anning Village, it was Senior An who intervened and brought the two of them together.

"Chang Qing, 伱, do you really want to make the master angry to death?"

An Yan did not continue to irritate the hot-tempered old man, and turned to the leader Qingwei and said: "Priest Qingwei, the evil thoughts have been eliminated by us, you can rest assured."

Chang Yin's brain was frozen.

As soon as An Yan and his party walked out of the flying boat, they saw a group of Shushan disciples led by Chang Yin surrounding them from all directions.

Cang Gu's suppressed angry voice sounded behind him, and Chang Yin was so startled that he turned around and found that the master and the head master had arrived behind him at some point.

Chang Yin led people up and bowed respectfully to An Yan, "I've met Senior An."

The bad news is that the witch has also been brought back.

Jingtian looked proud. He just wanted to show off to the old man quickly. If they hadn't worked together, the mission might have failed.

Seeing An Yan speak, Cang Gu's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. In terms of status, he was a senior, so he really had to be next to him to say a few words to him.

"Master, it was Senior An who deliberately allowed the evil thoughts to take shape and completely killed them at the moment they took shape." Xu Changqing explained from the side. Seeing that the master's attention was attracted, he was also relieved.

He said anxiously: "Elder brother, before the master notices, you should leave quickly, or else..."

The old man who looked exactly like Zhang Fei was the person Sedum was most afraid of. He looked as if he wanted to eat people. I couldn't believe that he and the old man were from the same sect.

"master!"

Xu Changqing held Qing'er in his arms, with a mixture of surprise and anxiety in his expression.

"If you want to take out the water spirit bead, you need to use the Heart Protector Lotus to keep Qing'er alive."

An Yan knew that the target of these Shushan disciples was not him, so he waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, let's go find your senior brother."

"this!"

Cang Gu looked at the head brother in confusion, "Brother head, the evil thoughts have been eliminated, what about us?"

Xu Changqing was in awe of his master Cang Gu, but he would not back down after having made a decision. He said respectfully: "Unworthy disciple, please pay homage to the master."

"Hmph! Go away."

An Yan, who had promised Zixuan to help, also took the opportunity to say: "Master Qingwei, now the evil thoughts have been eliminated. We have also gathered the five spirit beads needed to rebuild the Demon Locking Tower."

"Elder Canggu, she is not a witch. On the contrary, she is a descendant of Nuwa. To put it bluntly, your disciple is still on top of other people." An Yan frowned slightly when he saw Canggu who opened his mouth to look like a witch and closed his mouth to say a witch. Head, opened the mouth and said.

Now, after hearing that the evil thoughts were eliminated, the five elders of Shushan fell into ecstasy and disbelief.

As soon as these words came out, the attention of the five elders of Shushan was instantly attracted. The evil thoughts in their hearts were definitely more important than anything else.

No, my senior brother!
Why do you even have a child? It doesn’t even take a year to make all the calculations!

"Or what?"

What he was most worried about happened.

The good news is that Changqing is back.

When the other Shushan disciples saw their senior brother's appearance at this moment, they suddenly felt that something was wrong. If Elder Canggu knew about it, would he still be able to pull out his senior brother's skin?
But Chang Yin still looked towards the senior brother in his heart. He hurried forward and glanced at Zixuan's charming face, and he understood why the senior brother fell.

Chang Yin smiled sheepishly, and then quickly turned his attention to his senior brother. However, when he saw the woman standing next to his senior brother and the child in his arms, he was dumbfounded.

"It really pisses me off!"

The five elders of Shushan looked at each other, not expecting An Yan to be able to kill the evil thoughts that took shape.

There is gold at the man's knees. When Canggu saw that his most proud disciple actually knelt down to beg him for a woman, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Xu Changqing did not dare to raise his head to see his master's expression at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, Zixuan has been waiting for me for three lifetimes, and Qing'er, I can't let them down."

"Master, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness in raising me in this life. I will definitely repay you as a cow or a horse in the next life."

When Qingwei saw this, he was not as angry as Canggu. After Anyan explained the situation to him, he had already anticipated what might happen.

He looked at it openly and said with a smile: "Changqing, you don't have to blame yourself. The five of us have watched you grow up, and we regard you as our own. As long as you make a decision, we will support you."

"But once you make a decision, don't hesitate. You still have to walk the road yourself."

"Brother head, how could you do this?" Canggu became anxious when he saw that the senior brother was fooling around with Chang Qing.

"Cang Gu, I have my own sense of discretion in this matter."

Qingwei shook her head and interrupted Canggu's words, obviously acquiescing to Xu Changqing's choice.

This made both Xu Changqing and Zixuan happy.

An Yan glanced at Qingwei suspiciously, is this old man so easy to talk to?

What kind of medicine are you buying in the gourd?

He shook his head and stopped delving into it, thinking that Qingwei would not harm Xu Changqing.

Hearing this, Cang Gu was so angry that he rolled his sleeves. He glanced at Chang Qing, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "Why don't you get up quickly? How can we achieve great things if we have been loving each other all day long?" Then, he said Then he said: "Senior Brother, I taught this unscrupulous disciple, so just use mine for the Heart-Protect Lotus."

Seeing Cang Gu, a tough-talking old man, An Yan was somewhat impressed by him. It seemed that he really regarded Xu Changqing as his biological son.

He was talking about an unworthy disciple, but he did not hesitate to take out a life-saving thing like the Heart-Protect Lotus.

This is clearly a betrothal gift.

It seems to be saying that it is not a high standard for my disciple to marry a descendant of Nuwa.

An Yan felt funny in his heart. For a moment, he saw Uncle Jiu's figure. Even though he scolded him mercilessly, he still helped wipe his butt when something went wrong.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest Canggu." Zixuan also had a changed impression of Canggu and thanked her sincerely.

"Senior An, although the Heart-protecting Lotus can protect her for a while, it is not a long-term solution. Once the Water Spirit Pearl leaves the body, I'm afraid..." Taoist Priest Qingwei looked at Qing'er held by Chang Qing and could tell at a glance. Qing'er's state at this time.

Apparently, the descendants of Nuwa suppressed the growth of babies with water spirit beads and kept them in a state of immortality. Such a method goes against the law of growth of all things. Over time, it has damaged the origin.

Once the water spirit bead is taken away and the balance of life and death is broken, even if the heart-protecting lotus temporarily protects the vitality, the source cannot be replenished, and the scale of life and death will tilt towards death as time goes by.

"Don't worry about this. I already have a solution. As long as I find the legendary Holy Spirit Bead, it will be easy." Regarding Priest Qingwei's worries, An Yan smiled and said, "I already have the whereabouts of the Holy Spirit Bead."

Taoist Priest Qingwei saw that Senior An had arranged everything properly, and he could only sigh, "Ginger is still hotter than old."

"Then there's Senior Lao An."

"Besides, I have one more thing. I wonder if Taoist Master Qingwei can agree to it?"

An Yan looked at Taoist Priest Qingwei with a smile. He had helped Shushan with so many things, so a small request wouldn't be too much, right?

Noticing An Yan who smiled as cunningly as a fox, Qingwei felt a bad feeling in her heart.

But Shushan owes a lot of karma to others. He helped seal the Demon Emperor thousands of years ago, and now he helps eliminate evil thoughts and find the Five Spirit Pearls.

Due to emotions and reasons, as long as the request is not too excessive, he will definitely not refuse.

Since I can't refuse, it's better to be more generous and say Qingwei: "Senior An, it doesn't matter if you say it."

"Then I'll tell you straight."

"My sword was damaged during the battle with the Evil Sword Immortal. I just need a handy weapon."

An Yan was obsessed with the demon-suppressing sword. Compared with the demon-suppressing sword, the immortal sword was simply unbearable to look at.

Resentment from the dead gods: I blame me for not changing my weapons better before coming to find you.

When Qingwei heard it, she understood instantly.

Yes, it turned out that I was attracted to the Demon Suppressing Sword.

Apart from the Demon Suppressing Sword, he couldn't think of any other treasures on Shu Mountain that could capture Senior An's discernment.

"Senior An, I wonder if you are talking about the Demon Suppressing Sword?"

But in order to avoid overthinking, Qingwei still had to confirm.

An Yan understood Qingwei as soon as he saw it, and nodded with satisfaction. He likes to deal with smart people.

Seeing that Senior An's goal was really the Demon Suppressing Sword, Qingwei was not reluctant to give it up. Anyway, the Demon Suppressing Sword was in the Demon Locking Tower and they, the people of Shushan, couldn't use it.

On the contrary, if Senior An can help them enter the Demon Locking Tower and eliminate the Demon Emperor, they will not lose.

Because Qingwei had already calculated that the Demon Suppressing Sword would be an important part of the salvation process, and it would also need to be returned to its original owner. Now back to his master's master, it's almost the same.

Therefore, Qingwei said frankly: "Senior An, you know better than me what happened back then. The Demon Suppressing Sword is still in the Demon Locking Tower, but we Shushan disciples cannot enter the Demon Locking Tower."

"So, you may need to go and get it yourself, Senior An."

An Yan was very clear about this. When he saw Qingwei agreeing readily, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "No problem. It just so happens that I also have a debt to settle with the Demon Emperor. Back then, he beat me badly."

I don’t know what expression the Heavenly Demon Emperor will show when he sees me again.

It must be a great surprise!
An Yan smiled brightly.

When Jingtian saw this smile, he shuddered subconsciously. Whenever the master showed this unpredictable smile, there must be an unlucky guy who would be unlucky.

Don't ask him why he knows it, just ask based on experience.

"Okay, let's take out the water spirit beads and repair the Demon Locking Tower now."

After understanding that Senior An would personally deal with the second one in the Demon Locking Tower, Qingwei also laughed and said.

"it is good!"

An Yan nodded.

The next step was to return to the main hall, where Zixuan took out the water spirit beads with her own hands, and Canggu used his own heart-protecting lotus to temporarily protect Qing'er's life.

Seeing Qing'er's pitiful look, even Cang Gu had to sigh, women in love are really scary.

However, as of now, there is nothing more to say.

Canggu said to An Yan: "Senior An, the Heart-Protect Lotus can only protect her for one year. If the Holy Spirit Pearl cannot be obtained within a year, the Heart-Protective Lotus will lose its effectiveness."

An Yan nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "How long will it take to repair the Demon Locking Tower?"

Cang Gu looked at the head brother and said slightly: "It can be as fast as half a month, or as slow as a month."

"I will get back the Holy Spirit Pearl within half a month." An Yan turned to look at Jingtian and the others, "What about you? Come with me, or stay in Shushan and wait for me to come back?"

Jingtian was the first to jump out and said: "Master, I want to go with you. Anyway, the old man is fine now and doesn't need me to do anything. I don't want to face a group of white tofu all day, as it will be contagious."

"Haha, brother Jingtian is still so funny." Qingwei laughed after hearing this.

"Then I'll go with you." Xuejian naturally followed Jingtian.

So did Nightshade and Maomao.

Xu Changqing looked at the master with some embarrassment, and finally said: "Master, I also want to go with you to find the Holy Spirit Bead for Qing'er."

"During this period, could you please master, please help me take care of Qing'er?"

Because Zixuan definitely wanted to go with him, Qing'er's current situation was not suitable for traveling and traveling, so he had to trouble the master.

When Cang Gu saw the eldest disciple who was taking advantage of the situation, his eyes widened and he was about to get angry. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the cute little guy waving to him. The grumpy old man felt a rare softness in his heart, but he said unkindly: "I will take good care of people, so get out of here and watch you." It’s annoying.”

Seeing this, Xu Changqing and Zixuan smiled knowingly.

An Yan and the others also smiled.

This time, their trip was no longer tense, but full of joy and laughter.
