C20 (1/2)
That night, I slept soundly. I fell down on the soft grass of the hillside. The moonlight shined on the side of my face, making the tears at the corners of my eyes sparkle.
I was drunk. In my sleep, I had another dream, in which I dreamt that I seemed to have changed, that I was standing extremely cold and detached, looking down at the ground beneath my feet. The ground was covered in smoke, and under the reflection of the blood-red moon, it was filled with death and evil. Wake up, my head hurts. Is this what a hangover feels like? After taking a deep breath to dispel the remaining alcohol, I looked at Ah Hu who was still sleeping soundly and returned to my dwelling alone.
”When did you arrive?”
”Just arrived.”
”What is it?”
Qiu Xuan stood up and walked out of the house. ”Inner disciples don't live here. Your residence has its own other places. Follow me.”
I frowned and looked around the room. He shook his head. Sooner or later, he would leave.
I followed Qiu Xuan, leaving step by step. Perhaps I wouldn't return, or perhaps by the time I did, everything had already changed.
I know A Hu silently watched me leave from behind the mountain. Maybe he was blessing me because I saw the smile on his face.
I didn't shed tears like he did. The day I cried again was the day the Heavenly Sect was destroyed!
The inner and outer sect basically have no intersection. The outer sect disciples live at the foot of the mountain while the inner sect disciples live at the top of the mountain. I don't know how tall the thirteenth peak is, but I've heard them speculate about it before. However, the peak of the mountain is a training field, a very large training field. At that time, I had my suspicions, but I didn't ask.
At the top of the mountain, Qiu Xuan looked at me, then grabbed my arm and soared into the sky.
I endured the strong wind blowing towards me, my heart filled with shock. Just what level of cultivation is this Qiu Xuan at? It should not be much worse than Qiu Xi.
Who could cut off a mountain peak with a single slash? What cultivation level would that require?
Stepping on the mountaintop didn't give him any feeling, just like how he usually did at the foot of the mountain. Qiu Xuan led the way while I followed behind. In less than fifteen minutes, we arrived at a thatched cottage.
”This is the top of the 13 peaks, every peak is the same. This is your residence, and it's about the same as the ground below. Spirit beasts will be sending you fruits every day.”
Qiu Xuan's tone wasn't as cold as before. I nodded my head and walked straight into the thatched cottage. Perhaps I didn't even realize it myself, but my attitude towards Qiu Xuan had started to change slightly.
”Tomorrow, I will bring you to pick out your weapons. For today, you will familiarize yourself with the environment. Master's residence is at the top of the mountain, so don't go. Everyone's room is protected by a formation which can isolate sound. You can practice in the training room as much as you want. ”
After Qiu Xuan said this, she turned and left, leaving me alone to ponder. Weapons, the weapons I need, are able to kill.
Looking around, this Xuanshan Mountain isn't very big. Furthermore, from Qiu Xuan's words, it seems that there's only the four of us here. The scenery inside the mountain was very good. There were also a few water orchards, such as the autumn orchards, Xiao Yue, and the like. Occasionally, a black shadow would flash by. After a careful look, I realised that it was a spirit beast that was like a squirrel. Although its speed was extremely fast, it didn't have much offensive power.
After a while, I had a rough understanding of this place. Thus, I returned to my residence to meditate and meditate, waiting for Qiu Xuan to bring me to pick a weapon tomorrow.
As he was quietly meditating, a voice suddenly rang beside his ear, ”Rich son...”
I abruptly opened my eyes and surveyed my surroundings, but didn't see anyone. I frowned. I suddenly realized that the voice sounded a little familiar.
”Rich son …”
It was Grandpa Sun!
I suddenly remembered. This voice was clearly the voice of Grandpa Sun, who had already died. Qiu Xi knew that Grandpa Sun was there, but she probably didn't know that he was an immortal. But in that illusion, there was clearly a time when Grandpa Sun was speaking. Thinking about it, it's very simple to imitate Grandpa Sun's voice, but, if it's really Qiu Xi, why would he lie to me?
”Rich son …”
My voice sounded again. I gathered my spirit energy in my ears and used my qi seeking the origin of the voice to its maximum. But I don't quite believe what I'm telling myself. This sound clearly came from my body!
That mysterious ball of light! It must be! I almost forgot about it after all this time!
Just as I thought of this, the ball of light flew out of my body and landed in front of me.
The shadow of Grandpa Sun gradually formed, and with a wave of his hand, he set up a restriction. He looked at me with a kind gaze. I remember that Grandpa Sun did say when he set himself on fire that we would meet again.
I didn't move. I remained sitting cross-legged on the bed, coldly looking at him.
”Fugui, don't you recognize me?” The shadow of Grandpa Sun slowly spoke.
”Yes, so what?!” With hatred in my heart, I naturally didn't have a good expression.
”You've changed, aiya …” Grandpa Sun sighed.
”It's not that I want to change, it's you. You made me change.” I couldn't help but be excited as my anger roiled within my heart.
”What happened?” Grandpa Sun looked at me for a while before he asked with a dark expression.
”What happened?” I laughed angrily. ”You said they'd have a good life! ”You lied to me!”
”Peace Village, what happened in Peace Village?”
”Humph!” I endured the rage that was about to erupt as I clenched my teeth and said word by word, ”Peace Village is no longer here!”
Grandpa Sun closed his eyes and sighed, ”It's a calamity. You can't escape it!”
”Tribulation!” I stood up and clenched my fists. ”Where were you when the accident happened in Ping An Village? Aren't you an immortal? Aren't you very powerful? What did you promise me?
