Volume 1 Chapter 30 (1/2)
Cheng Qian was transfixed by his master's form of address He wasn't sure at first if he should call the other side ”randfather”
Just a year ago, when Cheng Qian first walked into Fuyao Mountain, he had blindly thought that this was an illegitimate yet somewhat decent sect
It was completely understandable of hiht-errants, which folk stories didn’t describe sects deserving to be called such as having great bunch of people fighting and scheainst each other?
Whereas Fuyao Sect only had a sect leader with a handful of callow kids—even gangs of youths in rural areas were perhaps er than this
But in last couple of days, Cheng Qian had found out one after the other that he had not only a h that wasn't so he'd be proud of at all
Just taking a look at hisfeats, and his randfather, the top de another look at his pitifulQian couldn't help but wonder if Fuyao Sect existed just to elucidate to the world theof ”While the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten”
And moreover, between ”a poultry sect”1 and ”the headquarters of de Qian dithered over which suited Fuyao Sect better
After being recognized, Lord Beihed a bit Then the black mist around his body cleared up to reveal his true face
He had neither the de, nor the fierce features of an ogre He was, on the whole, an ordinary person
His sunken eyes added a touch of handsoranded rey at his temples
Tucking his hands into sleeves, Lord Bei stood near his lonely corpse Then he waved his hand and said, ”Rise, Xiao-Chun—you never knelt toit now?”
Muchun Zhenren readily stood up as he was told and laid Puddle down, letting her go to Cheng Qian Then he said in a rather casual rave, anyway; of course I'm supposed to kneel to my ancestor”
Cheng Qian: ”…”
He found it was a tradition of Fuyao Sect to show very little respect to one’s elders and masters
”I thought you were dead and that your primordial spirit had reincarnated That hy I had even mistaken Xiao-Qian as your reincarnation, since his bazi2 was the same as yours, and that ht… that your souls lingered in this world by attaching to three copper coins” Muchun Zhenren briefly paused before he carried on with a sense of grievance, ”Master, since you had to attach to so, why did you choose copper coins? Even if you couldn't find gold, silver ingots also work great!”
When Lord Beirand people readily prostrate themselves in worshi+p Whereas when he unveiled himself, it wasn't like that at all
”If I did so, would I ever have had the chance to see you again? You'd have squandered thearded Muchun Zhenren with the sa
”Master, tier as poor as it once was”
”I know You've accepted a God of Wealth as your apprentice,” said Lord Beie of expression
After this brief conversation, the master and the apprentice stared at each other for a hter which baffled Cheng Qian
Holding Puddle, Cheng Qian gazed at the hollow-eyed corpse, utterly unclear about what the two seniors were laughing about
Mo and asked, ”One of your souls dispersed in the De Laered in the world for so long with nothing to rely on, even Lord Beiht?”
”It's just death, nothing serious” Lord Beiain
”How about senior brother; is he dead now?”
When in front of dozens of shi+ps and under countless gazes, Muchun had to call hi, there was nothing to conceal, so he used ”senior brother”
Lord Bei paused and answered with eyes half closed, ”He didn't die in seriousness I splintered the spirit flaiven him a heavy blow But your senior brother has refined his body and the Soul-Consuether; his souls have become the spirit of that laain He won't be counted as a huuably he's dead”
Muchun Zhenren went silent for a while before asking again, ”Did he recognize you?”
Lord Bei silence was as though saying, ”Now that things have reached this point, does it nized me or not?”
Then he turned to Cheng Qian, benevolently saying, ”Kid, it's my third time to see you Come here”
Cheng Qian advanced, but he didn't go near Lord Bei as he was told Rather, he silently went up to Muchun Zhenren's side and tepidly gave a wordless salute to Lord Bei Qian didn't kno to address him
Even though Master and Lord Bei Qian's intuition told hiht not necessarily be the case
Suppose that they had been so inti Qian couldn't fathorandfather at least once in the past few years, and why he didn't come to bury him
Lord Bei lowered his head and asked patiently, ”You're such a daring little blighter as to enter ht?”
Cheng Qian dithered before he replied politely, ”Enlightened by senior, you, and Tang Zhenren, I learned the bearing of being fearless of the Heaven, the Earth, the people, and anything”
His answer arousedQian for ain a mild tone, ”Good boy Eventually, the broken 'bloodline' of our Fuyao Sect is linked up again”
Cheng Qian was terrified at what he said
In a split second, Master's changed appearance, the see half-dead… all those ins and outs flashed across Cheng Qian'sQian understood the overtones of Lord Bei of an eye
He jerked his head around, staring in disbelief at his master who suddenly became such a handsome man
Muchun Zhenren put his hand upon Cheng Qian's head, sighing, ”If only you can share some of your cleverness with your fourth junior brother—yes, Xiao-Qian, your guess is right The 'bloodline' of Fuyao Sect has broken off since o And I'm a dead person”
Cheng Qian clenched his teeth so hard that he released grinding sounds but failed to say any word
Muchun Zhenren paid no attention to that He resumed with composure, ”The sect leader at that time—namely, my master—was at the critical moment of his closed-door cultivation and had no ti that period, his first apprentice, Jiang Peng, degenerated into the devil way of ghostis after him, but I overestimatedLahost cultivation was still iment of my primordial spirit wasn't completely refined So, I escaped and fell into the body of a weasel spirit as dying because it had failed to overco And thus, I've had the opportunity to inherit and pass on the Sect Leader's Seal”
Lord Bei's look held some sorrow ”You…”
Muchun Zhenren laughed ”I was coping fine with the weasel spirit's body The only problereedy”
”Aren't you afraid that your priht disperse from exhaustion, and that you will never enter the cycle of reincarnation if you possess a corpse as your body?” said Lord Bei softly
Muchun Zhenren gently shook his sleeves and took a sweeping look at his feet Then, s, he said in an indifferent air in i serious”
”Master, who split the portrait in the Library?” asked Cheng Qian quietly
Muchun Zhenren was taken aback ”Didn't I clean it up? Oof… it was probably one the tortures of the bites of ghosts in the Soul-Consues after I escaped In addition, the weasel spirit was a dead corpse; I hadn't gotten used to its body in the beginning So there was a time when I was in a state of delirium”
He narrated those events which, if one studied the Qian just felt so his chest He threw his arms around Muchun Zhenren's waist and buried his head deep in Muchun's bosom
So warment of his primordial spirit?
Muchun continued, ”I couldn't even walk on legs when I first possessed the weasel's body So I rolled and crawled, trying to get back and find Master However…”
Lord Bei into a lonely shadow against the light
”I saw the Four Saints besieging Fuyao Mountain,” Muchun Zhenren said to Cheng Qian ”Only then did I know that my master was in fact an once-in-blue-htiest men at that time The battlefield stretched all the way from the Fuyao Mountain to the Worriless Valley two hundred Li away—that's where we are standing right now—and their battle incurred the Heavenly Tribulation, which turned the valley into a sea of fire For the following three years, the earth was naked of grass and empty of life One of the Four Saints died and the others sustained severe injuries I guess if they didn't pick the tiht have died under that ancient tree”
