"What?" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?" Confused?"

"The disciple is not confused, this incident made me think a lot." Qiao Feng lowered his head, although he was very respectful, his tone was very firm, "After the disciple was injured, thanks to the master's rescue at the expense of Zhenyuan, it can be regarded as saving his life." During this period of recuperation, I calmed down and kept thinking

"Since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a chivalrous man who fought for righteousness and wealth, and then by chance, I was blue-eyed by my master, accepted under the door, and awarded the supreme master. I knew that I was reckless, so I said that I didn't dare to slack off after hard work, and finally achieved something and became a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, which can be regarded as fulfilling my life's wish. ”

"Over the years, the disciple's cultivation has become more and more profound, his ability has become greater and greater, and his work has become bigger and bigger...... Even the rise and fall of the country is in charge of the end of the day......" Qiao Feng sighed deeply, "When I'm busy, I don't feel tired. But when I take a break these days and look back, I feel very tired. ”

"I've done so much more than I could have imagined. When you taught me, Master, you once said, 'Those who cultivate the Tao should not be impatient or greedy... When I looked back, I felt that I was too impatient, too greedy, and had reached heights that I didn't want to reach. ”

Wu Xie sat there, did not speak, and listened to him quietly.

For the first time in so many years, he, the eldest apprentice, complained to his master and confessed his exhaustion and anxiety.

The relics exuded a soft light on the table beside him, this was the crystallization of a Buddhist monk's lifelong cultivation, and it had incredible miraculous effects, even if it was Qiao Feng's self-destructive Dao foundation, it could make up for his origin, and even increase his cultivation by a lot.

Just take the relics and refine them. Qiao Feng could directly become a great master of the Ning Yuan level and step into a realm that he could not have reached.

But Qiao Feng was unwilling, his choice was unexpected, he actually decided to quit the path and end his life as an ordinary martial arts master

"I thought about it a lot, I thought about it for a long time. In the end, I figured it out, I didn't plan to cultivate to become an immortal, nor did I want to live forever. I just want to be a human warrior who fights unevenly, and it doesn't matter even if I can't step into the innate realm. ”

Qiao Feng raised his head and smiled, his smile was very kind, as warm as the winter sun: "My strength as a monk is gone, but my strength as a martial artist is still there." This amount of force is sufficient. ”

Wu Xie was silent for a while and asked, "Do you plan to go back to Zhaoyang County?" The current Zhaoyang County is no longer the Zhaoyang County you are familiar with. ”

"No, I'd better go to Nanping County." Qiao Feng said with a smile, "With my current ability, it's no problem to be a hero in Nanping County." ”

Wu Xie nodded, stood up silently, put away the relics, and took Qiao Feng to the corner of the Qingyang Mountain Mountain Protection Array.

This is the place where Qingyang Guanquan is a prison cell, and many people are imprisoned, and Lin Xiao is also among them.

"Ah Xiao, your senior brother plans to quit the path and become a mortal." He didn't give Lin Xiao a chance to ask in surprise, and said seriously, "It just so happens that you are also going to the human world to be a mortal for a period of time, I will send you to Nanping County, and by the way, I will help you change your appearance." ”

Lin Xiao had already known that he would be punished, and he did not disagree, on the contrary, he regretted it.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't help but do it, the senior brother would not have been injured so badly, and the master would not have caused a lot of trouble because of this

Although the master has great powers and solves the trouble, this does not alleviate his self-blame.

"Disciple obeys, I will take good care of my senior brother"

Wu Xie nodded, brought Lin Xiao out, drove a cloud of fire, and carried the three of them to Nanping County in an instant.

Since the relocation of the people, the land of Nanping County has become larger, and the population has increased a lot. But for this vast and sparsely populated county, the population is far from enough to meet its needs, and many places remain desolate.

But in the clouds, Wu Xie could clearly see the wisps of vigorous vitality rising from the human world and converging into white clouds over Nanping County.

This is the trend of prosperity, and in the next hundred years, Nanping County will be prosperous and prosperous, which can be called a peaceful and prosperous era.

Wu Xie believes that even if there is any war in the outside world in the future, it will be difficult to affect the isolated Nanping County. This land, surrounded by mountains, has become a peaceful place to escape the chaos of war, just like the Taoyuan Township in ancient Chinese legends.

With his two apprentices, he quietly landed in the corner of Zhendongguan, next to the big tree without leaves.

The location is good, just at a small mountain peak with a view of the distant distance. If the vision is very good, the weather is as clear as today, and there is no sea of clouds, you can even look down on the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Nanping County, which is really a beautiful scenery in the world

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"It doesn't make any difference to me where I am the second junior in the shop, I will go wherever the senior brother goes." Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said very casually.

Wu Xie looked at Qiao Feng again, Qiao Feng's gaze swept over Nanping County, and then pointed to a nearby place at random.

"There's a town over there, and I think it's a good fit."

Wu Xie nodded and led them to the town.

There are not many residents in the town, but the geographical location is good, not very far from the town of Dongguan, but all over the town, there is only a small teahouse, neither inn nor restaurant.

I think that this town should have suffered the loss of no prosperous towns near the pass, and Nanping County itself has a small population, so it has not developed. Now that this restriction has naturally disappeared, the population of Nanping County is increasing, and it should gradually become prosperous.

Wu Xie took a closer look, then found the officials in the town and said that he wanted to buy a piece of land and build a restaurant.

The official smiled bitterly when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "If a distinguished guest wants to buy land, I usually welcome it, but now, even if you pay the money, where will I go to get you a deed?" ”

"Huh? Isn't the Son of Heaven here? ”

"A few days ago, the Son of Heaven had already announced his abdication, and the edict said that from now on, there will only be the Xiong family working with everyone in Nanping, and there will be no imperial court, so that all localities can do their own thing." The official kept shaking his head, "It seems good to become the head of one party all of a sudden." But I don't know what to do...... The imperial court is gone, so there is naturally no need to collect taxes, and of course there is no need to send errands, and all kinds of documents and contracts are ...... I don't know how to issue it..."

"Hehe, an official like you is really a minority"

"Alas, I have seen the scene when the Marquis of Ji Shihou moved mountains, whether it is the glory and wealth of the world, or the grievances and grievances, what is it?" The official is not very old, but his tone is quite old, as if he has an indifference to see through the world, "There is no owner in that place, if you want to build a restaurant, you can build it yourself." I'll make a note of it for you, but I don't have to pay any other fees. But in the front, I can't take out the deed of the court. ”

Of course, Wu Xie didn't need any deeds, so he came to the town, hired some workers, and began to build a restaurant.

It is said to be a "restaurant", but in fact it is just a three-room room inside and outside. The inner room is the bedroom; The middle room is the kitchen, and the outermost room is the storefront.

The room is small, and there are barely four small square tables in the storefront. Although theoretically each square table can seat four people, if sixteen people are full, there will definitely be bumps and bumps between each other, and I am afraid that there will not be so many drinks and dishes on the table.

"Yes, you will be the owner of this restaurant from now on." When the restaurant was completed, Wu Xie brought Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao over again, and said to Lin Xiao, "Back then, Uncle Li Xiaoyao was the second junior in the store, and you were directly the boss, much more advanced than him."

“…… What kind of shop can you use in this small shop......" Lin Xiao sighed, "Boss, chef, shop, Xiaoer, I have all the masters, do you mean that?" ”

"That's right, do things well, be a good person."

Lin Xiao, who had already been sealed and cultivated, sighed helplessly, resigned himself to change into a linen cloth that was no different from the townspeople, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

He is naturally arrogant, even if he runs such a small restaurant, he must do it well, so the most important thing is his cooking skills

"Little junior brother, he ...... Do you know how to cook? Qiao Feng followed Wu Xie on the road to the outside of the town and asked worriedly.

"Isn't he very good at making tea? The reason should be more or less the same. ”

Listening to the master compare the elegance of the literati with the cooking of ordinary people, Qiao Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Well, I'll live here, then." He looked around and saw that the terrain was spacious, and nodded with satisfaction, "There are trees and water in this place, and there seems to be no one cultivating nearby." I'm going to build a hut to live in, and I'm probably going to be wandering around all year round, and this house is just a marker, and I don't need to pay attention to it. ”

Wu Xie was silent for a moment, waved his hand, mana flowed, and in an instant, a sturdy wooden house was built in the forest on the side of the road, and even all kinds of utensils in the house were ready, but these were not made by mana alone, but he bought them alone in the mortal world these days.

Seeing Qiao Feng say goodbye and leave, he was silent for a long time, and with a flick of his fingers, the relics fell silently, and was grabbed by a big red cat that suddenly appeared next to him and swallowed it.

"Help me take care of him."

The big cat had a smile on his face, nodded, and ran away, his movements were vigorous and agile, and every part of his strength was used just right

If a martial arts master sees this scene, he must be shocked by this cat, and he may bow his head and shout "master" Of course, it is indeed qualified to be a master, after all, in terms of age in the world, it is among the immortals and demons, and there are few who can be older than it.

"First as a lion, then as a tiger...... Now it seems that being a cat is still the most suitable for you" Seeing Chiya follow Qiao Feng from afar, Wu Xie smiled, no longer worried, and flew towards the east with a cloud of fire.

When arranging the affairs of Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao, he naturally thought of Qin Jing, the second apprentice whose whereabouts were unknown. Now that Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao's affairs have been arranged, his cultivation at the moment has temporarily reached a bottleneck, so he just took this opportunity to go again and try to find news from Qin Jing again.

Back then, Xiao Buyi and Su Lin had calculated for Qin Jing, and the result of the calculation was very strange, it was not that it could not be calculated, but that the result of the calculation was hazy, as if it was covered by something.

Qin Jing naturally couldn't have the ability to cover the heavens, so he might be in some isolated place.

Wu Xie is not good at divination, but he has a stupid method, which requires long-term preparation and strong magical powers to do

He flew to the sea east of Changning City and took out a portrait.

This is a portrait of Qin Jing, over the past few years, his wife and children and younger generations have been silently talking to it every day under Wu Jie's instructions

The blood is connected, the breath is connected, and over the years, this portrait has a trace of mystical vitality. Wu Xie also used the cultivation of the peak of Ning Yuan to perform the great divine power of the law of the extreme world, and refined it into a magic weapon.

This magic weapon could neither be used for combat nor cultivation, and its only purpose was to sense Qin Jing's breath. No matter how long ago the breath was, you can find some.

Of course...... The longer you look for the breath from before, the more mana you will consume. If it weren't for Wu Xie who had gone through that move of the mountain, he used the True Fire Law Body to cultivate and catalyze, and continuously absorbed and fused the True Yuan mana that he had accumulated in the Heavenly Book World Realm for many years, and even obtained an endless stream of power from the creation of heaven and earth, and rushed to the peak of Ning Yuan in one fell swoop, I am afraid that he would not have the confidence to use it well

However, now he is already a top figure comparable to the ancestor of Huandan, and although the consumption of using this magic weapon is large, it is no longer difficult for him.

Standing on the surface of the sea, Wu Xie closed his eyes, concentrated, and urged the image to cast spells silently, looking for Qin Jing's residual breath.

Time passed, and the sun, which had not been rising for a long time, gradually reached the overhead and gradually shifted to the west.

When night fell and the sky was full of stars, Wu Xie suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.

Found this is the breath left by Qin Jing's battle with the Kraken here more than forty years ago

He only smiled, and then regained his breath, gathered his mind, and pursued the direction of the wisp of breath. His pace was not fast, even slower than that of a normal initiation monk running on the ground.

But even this pace is a little too fast. So much so that he soon found that he had lost the clue of that wisp of breath, and had to go back to the place where he had found his breath before and search for it again.

This happened several times, but fortunately, he gradually got used to this kind of thing, and although he couldn't speed up the pace, there were fewer and fewer cases of finding his breath.

As the days passed, before I knew it, the weather gradually cooled, and then finally one day, it snowed.

"It's winter in the world, right?" When he was resting, he would come to the Netherworld Realm to meet Yin Shuang, Yin Shuang often talked to him about the affairs of the Outer Heaven - since Han De led the Yuzong to annex the Blood Sect strongly, the atmosphere in the Outer Heaven was a little tense, and the failure of the Demon Gate to refine the Twelve Gods and Demons for the second time not long ago deepened this tense atmosphere.

"yes, it's snowing. However, in the vast sea, the snowflakes cannot be piled up, and they can only be seen falling silently and then disappearing into the sea, which has another sense of seclusion. Wu Xie didn't care about the twelve gods and demons, he was full of confidence at the moment, believing that as long as he cultivated to the Nine Turns Golden Pill, whether it was the twelve gods and demons or the heavenly demon black robe, or Han De, who was known as the number one powerhouse in the Demon Gate, he would never be his opponent

Seeing that Wu Xie was so relaxed, Yin Shuang no longer mentioned those things that were disappointing, and gently leaned into his arms.

"The Blood Spirit Bead left to me by the previous sect master, I have completely refined it. Now I'm also a big master in the late Ning Yuan period."

"Ha Luha, then I can wait for you to achieve the return of Dan too."

"But...... Sect Master Han said, I'd better not rush to achieve the return of the pill, because there is a problem with the exercises of our blood sect, and if we achieve the return of the pill, we will change ourselves in essence and gradually move closer to the extraterritorial heavenly demons. ”

"Huh? Isn't your practice moving closer to the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons? ”

"I also have this question, but Sect Master Han said that the Divine Gate Exercise was originally supposed to be Dan Cheng Nine Turns Flying to the Upper Realm, and the reason why it gradually became an extraterritorial heavenly demon was because there were hidden dangers within the exercise. He had already modified the exercises of the Yu Sect, and the next thing was to modify the ...... of the Blood Sect He planned to spend hundreds of years revising all the Shenmen exercises and recreating the style of the ancient Shenmen in the past. ”

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and frowned.

This kind of thing, but even Jasmine couldn't do it

"Hmph, I just didn't bother to figure this out," Jasmine was furious, "Master, you wait, just give me ten days...... No, as long as I give me five days, I'll use the old ghost of Tianyan as a test and transform a blood sect exercise for you that won't turn into an extraterritorial heavenly demon."

“…… Since you have this ability, why didn't you do it before? ”

"Master, the person who chases the Supreme Dao, can't covet the future of the female woman, she will achieve the Heavenly Demon and go to the Demon Realm, you will ascend to the Upper Realm, and you will never see each other again, leaving only a beautiful memory in your heart, isn't it good?"

“…… It's not good to do things quickly at all" Wu Xie yelled, Jasmine walked to the research room dejectedly, and with a move, he grabbed the old man from the torture room who had been tortured by her to the point of completely losing his bearing.

"Damn old ghost, you caused me to be disciplined by my master," she muttered viciously, "I will definitely take revenge tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold, you wait and see."

The eyes of the old man were full of despair and helplessness, and now he didn't even bother to scream.

This so-called, mourning is greater than heart death.

After returning to the human world from the Netherworld Realm again, Wu Xie rested for a while and continued to look for the breath left by Qin Jing.

The strange thing was that this time the breath went into the deep sea, and no matter how he dived in, it got deeper and deeper, as if he had entered a bottomless abyss.

Wu Xie kept diving in the direction of his breath, and finally, at the bottom of the endless sea, he saw a strange whirlpool.

Is that...... The sea eye of the East China Sea.
