Seeking Immortality

After slowly telling everyone about the events of the year to everyone in the Qingxu Sect, Lu Qingshang sighed slowly and said: "Since that time, Junior Brother Xu has become what he is now, although he seems to be the same as usual. He was different, but every time he acted, he would become completely different. He was serious and cold, and even a senior brother like me felt scared when he looked at him. At that time, Junior Brother Xu had not yet become famous. "

In fact, the situation of Qingxu Sect is similar to that of Jiuhua. Under Liu Ziqing's methods, Qingxu Sect's strength was greatly reduced. However, as the leader of the two sects, Hua Xian did not realize what Xu Qingfan was doing. All that comes to mind, this has also caused the Qingxu Sect to suffer more serious casualties in recent years. Up to now, it is even unable to send out a complete team, and it has to be merged into Xu Qingfan's team. This is where Huaxian is not as good as Xu Qingfan. .

Of course, Lu Qingshang was just thinking these words secretly, but he did not say them out loud. He came to Lu Ziqing and others this time to comfort them, not to show off.

Hearing Lu Qingshang's narration, even the Qingxu disciple who had been opposing Xu Qingfan just now was a little stunned, and the one who had been lowering his head sadly couldn't help but raised his head, first glanced at Lu Qingshang in front of him, and then flew towards the distance. Xu Qingfan looked ahead.

That thin back looked so tired at this moment.

"I don't care why he became like this, but I don't agree with what he said today." The Qingxu disciple who had always disliked Xu Qingfan, after a moment of silence, said slowly again, but since After these words, he finally stopped attacking Xu Qingfan.

"You mean, what Junior Brother Xu just said, under the circumstances like yesterday, should we give up what Junior Sister Xu said?"

The disciple nodded silently.

Lu Qingshang smiled slightly and said: "I don't agree either. But what I can tell you is that if it was him who was surrounded by beastly monks yesterday, you come to save him. He will also be furious. He is now All he cares about is keeping us alive, and he doesn’t care about anything else.”

As he spoke, Lu Qingshang couldn't help but think of Xu Qingfan's appearance kneeling in front of those fifteen graves, unable to afford a month's rest. He sighed slightly in his heart, this Junior Brother Xu put too much pressure on himself. Although some pressure should not have been endured by him.

However, it is precisely because of this that both he and Li Yuhan will try their best to assist him.

But while everyone in the Qingxu Sect was surprised, Lu Qingshang returned to his original cynical look. After teasing a few more people in the Qingxu Sect, he left with a smile. It was as if the person who told the story in a deep tone was not him.

But before Lu Qingshang left, he waved his hands slightly inconspicuously, and saw a barrier suddenly and silently wrapping everyone in Qingxu, and also wrapped in this barrier, there were Lu Qingshang came with him but did not speak at all. At this time, Li Yuhan did not leave with Lu Qingshang. At this time, he suddenly spoke.

"I know that Master Xu's words must have made you think that he was ruthless, but please recall that during yesterday's battle, Master Xu rushed into the battlefield and gathered us together. Among them, Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Lu were both in the battle group. At the deep end, it was extremely difficult to bring the two of them together with the others. At the same time, the four fellow Taoists who died tragically because of untimely rescue were in much better positions than the two. But in the end, Master Xu. He still saved two fellow Taoists without hesitation, but could only watch the other four fellow Taoists die tragically. Based on my uncle's character, I can be sure that he will have uneasy conscience for a long time. "

Different from Lu Qingshang's teasing tone, Li Yuhan's tone was calm and a bit old-fashioned when he spoke. After saying this, Li Yuhan glanced at the Qingxu people in front of him. During this period, his eyes were on Xu Xiurong, Lu Qingshang, and the previous one. Qingxu's disciple, who had always disliked Xu Qingfan, paused for a moment, and finally said slowly: "The meaning. I hope all fellow Taoists will think about it carefully."

Said. Li Yuhan said nothing more, put away the barrier and left.

turn out to be. After all, the news that Xu Qingfan did not save the other four people was too important. It would be troublesome if others knew about it and spread it. At this time, it was not just Qingxu and Jiuhua who were present, so in order to prevent In case, before Lu Qingshang left, he added a layer of sound insulation barrier.

After Li Yuhan left, only the Qingxu people were left in a daze. After hearing these words, they didn't know whether they should hate Xu Qingfan or not.

Just like that, the entire team became silent along the way.

But just when Li Yuhan was separated from Qingxumen and others, Lu Qingshang rushed to Xu Qingfan's side just like Jin Qinghan.

"Have you all been comforted?"

Xu Qingfan turned around and asked, with a faint smile on his face, but this smile was filled with light but profound tiredness.

"Now that you've appeased them, they won't openly oppose you in the future." Lu Qingshang said with a smile.

"Telling stories again?" Xu Qingfan asked with a frown. To be honest, he didn't like being passed around as the protagonist of the story.

Lu Qingshang's smile remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Although you don't like it, this is the most effective method."

Xu Qingfan was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "When the story you made up is exposed one day, it will be up to you what you will do."

Lv Qingshang smiled more and said calmly: "I don't have such a rich imagination. Stories are always based on facts. What's more, I just hid some things." After a pause, he added: "Some insignificant things."

"Maybe it's insignificant to you, but not to me."

No words along the way.

About ten days later, the headquarters of the Righteous Alliance, "Ronghua Mountain", finally appeared in front of everyone. Although it was very far away, the majestic mountain could still be felt.

Lv Ziqing, who had just been joking and chatting with Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan, couldn't help it. He hesitated and asked Xu Qingfan, "Junior Brother Xu, do you really want to tell Qing Lingzi about her? You should know that the punishment of Qingxu Sect is very severe. That girl seems to be very weak. I'm worried that she will be upset because of this."

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly, indicating that he had thought about it, and then said, "I will suggest that Senior Qing Lingzi let her retreat and reflect on her mistakes. I think Senior Qing Lingzi should give me this face. Moreover, she killed seven people in this operation. If she is not punished, I'm afraid she will be more uneasy. What's more, her personality is not suitable for fighting in the catastrophe. As for her knot, I will find a way."

Lv Qingshang nodded slightly. He knew that many of Xu Qingfan's punishments were not actually punishments, but another kind of protection. For example, the six Jiuhua elders under Xu Qingfan, including one of Xu Qingfan's uncles, were severely punished by Xu Qingfan for making mistakes in their actions. The three of them were forced to retreat for a hundred years.

As mentioned earlier, the feeling of loneliness and monotony during retreat is extremely unbearable even for immortals. And retreating for a hundred years is also an extremely severe punishment for immortals.

But in fact, the reason why Xu Qingfan punished them in this way is actually a kind of protection, because Xu Qingfan judged that these six people were not suitable to survive in the catastrophe. With their personalities and temperaments, they would die sooner or later in the catastrophe, so the reason why they were punished to retreat for a hundred years was actually to let them survive this catastrophe safely.

But after that incident, Xu Qingfan's personality became extremely awkward. He was obviously kind-hearted, but he didn't let anyone know. Only Lu Qingshang and Li Yuhan had this kind of guess about his purpose. Even Jin Qinghan didn't understand it. He thought that Xu Qingfan's punishment was too severe, which made Xu Qingfan's image more severe in Jiuhua and even in the Righteous Alliance, which made people afraid.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshang sighed slightly in his heart. After Xu Qingfan's personality and methods changed, he always sighed more when facing Xu Qingfan, seeming helpless and regretful.

"The catastrophe should be over soon, so let's forget about the punishment for Junior Sister Xu."

At this time, Li Yuhan just came and heard the conversation between Xu Qingfan and Lu Qingshang, and couldn't help but interrupt.

Xu Xiurong's weak and intellectual image is easy to make people feel good, so at this time, even Li Yuhan couldn't help but plead for her.

"The catastrophe is about to pass?" Xu Qingfan's smile grew thicker, but his fatigue also grew thicker. He said lightly: "Fan Xiaoyao of Xingyin Sect also said this to me seven years ago, but what is the truth? The Eight Desolate Palace was just suppressed, and the Beast Mad suddenly appeared again. Now the Beast Mad is about to be eliminated, but the Eight Desolate Palace is already on its last legs. What's more, even if the Eight Desolate Palace is wiped out, what other disasters will appear?"

"You mean..."

Li Yuhan was slightly stunned and asked hesitantly.

"This catastrophe may have just begun."

Xu Qingfan looked into the distance, which was covered by clouds and mist, just like the road ahead. After a moment, he sighed slowly.
