Li Qing still had an expressionless face and listened to the gray-robed monk continue to speak.

"If nothing else, it will go as smoothly as ever, but what caught us off guard was that the cave we used to attack actually appeared in a secret room because of our fight, and there was a monk's skeleton and a few jade slips in it.

And the old man Li Ji took advantage of the fact that we were stunned to rush into the secret room, rolled up all the jade slips, and threw them around.

And he himself ran away with one of the jade slips, and we didn't chase the remaining jade slips at the time.

Later, when we returned to Fang City, we inquired about the old man's whereabouts. But by the time we searched all the way, the mountain was already empty. The gray-robed monk said in a regretful tone.

It seems that he regrets not being able to find the old man.

Hearing this, Li Qing had completely figured out the cause of his master's death, and his heart fluctuated violently. However, he did not show it immediately, but continued to ask. "What do those jade slips you get say?"

"It should be a magic secret technique or something, Lao Dao showed us at that time, but there is no way to use it without the corresponding exercises." The gray-robed monk said regretfully. At that time, they guessed that the jade slip that the old man took away was the one that recorded the exercises.

Afterwards, they searched for a long time but could not find any trace of Li Ji's old man, as if he had disappeared from the world. In addition, they have committed crimes in the Jin Kingdom several times, which has attracted a lot of attention. In the end, I had to give up and transfer to another country.

"Where are those jade slips now?" Li Qing took a deep breath and asked the last question.

"It should still be in the old storage bag! Those things can't be used without the cooperation of the exercises, and even if we have the heart to sell them, no one wants to ask for them. The gray-robed monk said subconsciously.

Call......

Li Qing got up and exhaled a breath of turbid air and walked out of the cave. "Senior Brother He, I'll take care of the rest!"

"Hmm!" He Renlin nodded calmly and walked towards the gray-robed monk.

"What are you going to do? Obviously he has already promised......" The gray-robed monk was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted with a look of horror on his face.

He wanted to run, but he was so badly injured that he couldn't move much, so he could only defend loudly and wanted to seize the last trace of life.

However, He Renlin didn't give him this opportunity at all, and stretched out his hand to clamp the gray-robed monk's neck and squeeze it hard.

Click......

After a crisp sound, the gray-robed monk's eyes widened, and all the words were blocked in his throat, unable to be spoken again.

Outside the cave, Li Qing stood there quietly, looking at the verdant mountains and forests hundreds of feet away, his eyes moist.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

"Li Qing, ...... you" He Renlin finished dealing with it, and asked in a hesitant tone while standing behind Li Qing.

After observing the whole process, He Renlin had already sorted out the general idea of the matter in his heart.

He knew that Li Qing was definitely in a bad mood now, but he didn't know how to comfort Li Qing.

I want to say something, but I don't know how to say it.

Li Qing raised his head to stop the tears that were about to slip down his eyes, turned around and said very reluctantly. "I'm fine."

However, the reddened eye sockets reveal everything.

"These are a few jade slips found from that old Dao's body, there should be what you need in them." He Renlin didn't know how to persuade him, so he simply ignored the direct way.

He took out three jade slips and handed them to Li Qing, but Li Qing did not refuse to reach out and take them.

The divine sense swept into the jade slips, and confirmed that two of the three jade slips were related to the Black Water True Method, and only one had nothing to do with it.

"Thank you! These two jade slips are very important to me and are of high value to me, so I won't take the rest. Li Qing handed back the irrelevant jade slip and said at the same time.

Although the total value of a few high-grade magic weapons of the old Dao and some trophies will not be less than five thousand lower-grade spirit stones. But for Li Qing, this trip has fulfilled his biggest wish in the past two years.

Moreover, the contents of these two jade slips can make up for the shortcomings of the Black Water True Method.

Li Qing is already satisfied, and it is not appropriate to take more.

"Good!" He Renlin looked at Li Qing for a while and found that Li Qing's attitude was sincere, not hypocritical. So there was no opposition.

"Then let's go back to the sect together?" He Renlin asked, putting the other loot in a storage bag.

"I'm going to pay homage to my master." Li Qing shook his head and said. "Senior Brother He can return to the sect first."

The revenge was avenged, and Li Qing was eager to tell the master the news. Let the old man know that his unscrupulous apprentice finally avenged him and personally stabbed the murderer.

He wants to bring the head of the old Taoist back to Xiaonan Mountain for the master to see, so as to tell the master's spirit in the sky.

"Understood! I will explain the situation to the sect. He Renlin nodded in understanding.

Then Li Qing and He Renlin separated, He Renlin returned to the mountain gate of Changfeng Sword Sect, and Li Qing turned to the direction of the Jin Kingdom.

…………

Five days later, at the highest point of Xiaonan Mountain, under a large tree with lush branches and leaves that grew like a canopy.

There was no one to take care of it, but in just a few months weeds were growing all over the grave.

Li Qing squatted down and patiently pulled out the weeds on the lonely grave one by one, and cleaned up the grave again.

"Master, the apprentice has come back to see you! Guess what I'll bring you back. Li Qing's tone carried a hint of softness that had never been shown in front of people, and opened the wooden box containing the head of the old Dao.

The tone was brisk, as if he was shaking his master's leg when he was a child and showing him the butterfly he caught.

Li Qing has always been haunted by the death of his master, like a sharp thorn, piercing deep in his heart, unable to let go for a long time.

It was a kind of torture, a kind of torture that was an apprentice but could not avenge the teacher.

It is also a kind of torture of powerlessness.

Now that Li Qing has finally avenged the blood revenge of killing his master, the huge burden that blocked the depths of his heart was also put down at this moment.

Li Qing felt unprecedentedly happy in his heart, and his only regret was that the master was forever gone.

No.

Li Qing shook his head, his master will always live in his mind, and it is also in the short and long memories of the past ten years.

"Master......"

Li Qing poured out in front of his master's grave all night, until the next day, when the sky was bright, a red sun slowly rose, and it crossed the mountain and reached the sky.

Li Qing, who had unloaded all his burdens, was in a state of mind at this time, just like the red sun rising to the sky, extremely vast.

"I'm going to climb that highest mountain! Master, you are here to take a good look and watch your most beloved disciple stand at the top. Li Qing looked at the red sun in the sky and said firmly.

From now on, he Li Qing's cultivation has only one purpose - to become an immortal.

After expressing his ambition, Li Qing turned around and shot a flame to ignite the wooden box containing the head of the old Dao, and quietly watched the extremely ugly head disappear little by little in the flames.

Until it finally turns into a mass of grayish-white ashes.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, stirring up the ashes on the ground and sending them flying all over the sky.

"Huh!"

Li Qing covered his mouth and nose, but suddenly saw something in the ashes flickering under the reflection of the sun.

So he broke off a branch and pulled the thing out, only to find that it was a finger-sized piece of metal.

Li Qing took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but found that there were dense fly-headed small characters on the metal.

Li Qing was very eyesighted before he could vaguely see what was written on it, and he was stunned for a while.

It took a long time before he muttered. "Qi Haidan."
