Chapter 22: Breakthrough (II).
Watching the door of Ting'er's room slowly close, Xu Qingfan laid several layers of defense and isolation outside the house, in case any unexpected situation would disturb Ting'er, who was in retreat.
turned around, but now Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu were looking at themselves silently. And Xiaobi, the moment the door of Ting'er's room closed, crawled to the closest place to Ting'er's room, and seemed to be silently waiting for Ting'er to come out again.
"Master, is it really okay to let Senior Sister Ting'er retreat like this?" Although the scene between Xu Qingfan and Ting'er before made Zhang Ningmei feel warm, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, and turned his head again to look at Ting'er's room, where the door was closed, as if his eyes could penetrate the enchantment and the walls of the room, and see Ting'er who was sitting at the head of the bed in contemplation without meditating.
After a while, Xu Qingfan finally turned his head, his voice was far away, and he said lightly: "Ting'er has lived in an extremely strange environment since she was a child, her father and clansmen are busy killing, and I witnessed my killing of her father, coupled with the fact that she has been transformed by magic beads, this qiē has created her seemingly cold character." But you only noticed her fragility and indifference that night, but you didn't think about how strong a little girl under ten years old would become. If it were someone else, I might not believe that just such a few words could solve her inner demons, but for Ting'er, it was enough, and what she said just now would make her think about it. ”
After Zhang Ningmei heard Xu Qingfan's words, she was thoughtful, and finally nodded slightly after a while.
There are only white feathers. Zhang Ningmei and Xu Qingfan's sudden words were a little inexplicable, but after a while, something suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help jumping up and shouting: "Master!!You said you killed Ting'er's father!!"
Regarding Bai Yu's sluggishness, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Ningmei glanced at each other helplessly, and couldn't help shaking their heads, but they couldn't cry or laugh.
In the end, Xu Qingfan didn't bother to explain to Bai Yu the origin and grievances between him and Ting'er. It's just that his face turned back again, and he said lightly: "It's been a lot of time, now let's start preaching." ”
As he spoke, Xu Qingfan walked slowly towards the position where the master and apprentice usually preached and listened, while on the other side, Zhang Ningmei also followed with a smile.
Only Bai Yu stood in place, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "Did I hear it wrong? It seems that the master just said it more than once?"
In this way, Xu Qingfan's life returned to the way it used to be, or sat on the ground in the courtyard. Preaching to Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu, or sitting quietly in his own room to explore the way of heaven, or reading books with Zhang Ningmei to discuss chess, of course, when playing chess with Zhang Ningmei, Xu Qingfan was still a fiasco as always, the only thing that made Xu Qingfan gratifying was that his chess strength was gradually growing, and Zhang Ningmei had changed from letting his third son to making his second son.
Reading books, teaching apprentices, playing chess, drinking tea.
Xu Qingfan's life can't help but be very leisurely, and sometimes Xu Qingfan is also thinking. Or this is the life that immortal cultivation should have. It's quiet and far away.
It's just that sometimes after Xu Qingfan can't see Ting'er by his side, he will also worry about whether Ting'er's inner demons will really be completely eradicated as he thought before, if during the retreat, the inner demons suddenly invade. That's not as simple as going crazy.
Only then. Xu Qingfan only appeared, or because he cared too much about Ting'er, but his judgment of himself had some gains and losses.
And Xu Qingfan suddenly appeared, in this courtyard, he is really not used to not having Ting'er's storage. If you think about it, it seems that every time she goes out of retreat or returns from a trip down the mountain, Ting'er seems to be outside or in front of the door. Quietly waiting. It seems that as long as Xu Qingfan appears in this courtyard, Ting'er will follow silently behind her. But there has never been a situation where Xu Qingfan did not see Ting'er at first sight when he finished his retreat or returned from his travels.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that when she was in retreat or traveling down the mountain, Ting'er had been quietly waiting in this courtyard?
It's as if Ting'er never seriously thought about why Xu Qingfan took her as an apprentice, but Xu Qingfan never thought of this, and they took these things for granted.
And when one day, a certain party suddenly realizes the deeper meaning contained under this natural thing, but the emotion in my heart is even more profound.
In addition, in addition to doing these things, Xu Qingfan often went to Qianshan during this time, and sometimes helped Li Yuhan deal with some things that should have been handled by him, but it surprised those who were familiar with Xu Qingfan's style, when did this "deacon elder who can retreat and see the most difficult to see in the history of Jiuhua" become so diligent?
In fact, Xu Qingfan often went to Qianshan during this time to meet Zhang Hualing once, and then left quickly.
The reason why Xu Qingfan did this was that he was worried that Zhang Hualing, who was revising the secret method, and that one day he would be controlled by the evil qi contained in the secret method, so he would go to Qianshan from time to time to see Zhang Hualing's situation and see Zhang Hualing's situation.
The reason why Zhang Hualing continued to practice those secret methods with extremely evil qi was to continue to prolong his lifespan and wait for Xu Qingfan's heart and prestige to reach the point where he could replace him, and secondly, to find a way to restrain the evil nature that was already hidden in his heart from the secret method.
Later, even in some places where help was needed, Xu Qingfan also helped Zhang Hualing to complete some secret methods together, since he couldn't stop it, Xu Qingfan could only try his best to help Zhang Hualing not be harmed by secret methods.
In addition, the reason why Xu Qingfan saw Zhang Hualing was to analyze the various scenes and the situation of the immortal cultivation realm after he went down the mountain with Zhang Hualing. With the help of Zhang Hualing's insight, he can better see the future of the current immortal cultivation world and the future response of Jiuhua Mountain.
And whether it was the battle of Tiansha or the battle of Qingxumen, Zhang Hualing was full of amazement, first, he didn't expect Xu Qingfan to be able to do this, and second, he didn't expect that the immortal cultivation world would be so chaotic at this time.
However, after the analysis of the two, they felt that the two biggest things in the immortal cultivation world over the years were not the changes of "Tiansha" and "Qingxu Gate", but the gradual activity of "Hades" and the emergence of the Righteous Path Alliance.
And these two things made Xu Qingfan and Zhang Hualing have a faint bad premonition. Judging from all kinds of signs, the previous catastrophes in the immortal cultivation world should be controlled by the "underworld", and what the purpose of the "underworld" is can be ignored for the time being, but the previous catastrophes "underworld" are all gone, hidden in the dark side, but only this time the "underworld" is from behind to the forefront, personally controlling the prelude to the catastrophe, can it be said that this catastrophe has any special significance?
In addition, the establishment of such a big thing as the Righteous Path Alliance was done quietly, and it only united all the major sects and major grandmasters in the Righteous Path, but it gave up a large number of small sects to gain momentum, and for what? Could it be that the Righteous Path Alliance also knew something, but it did not have the confidence to keep those small sects, so it had to give up?
As the analysis continued, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Hualing became more and more frightened.
The two of them were not worried about whether Jiuhua Mountain would also be given up by the Righteous Path Alliance, after all, Jiuhua had recovered over the years, and now there were more than forty monks in the Dan Period, although most of them were disciples of the younger generation who had just entered the Dan Stage for a few years, but the Righteous Dao Alliance would never give up with such strength, not to mention that the Righteous Path Alliance was established precisely because of the letter that Liu Huaxiang sent to the Zizhen Immortals back then. The reason why Jiuhua did not receive the invitation of the Righteous Path Alliance at this time is also because Jiuhua closed the mountain.
But even so, thinking of the various behaviors of the Righteous Path Alliance and the "Underworld", the two still have a sense of uncertainty and danger in their future.
Although he often met Zhang Hualing, most of the time, Xu Qingfan still stayed in his cave mansion, quietly waiting for the end of Ting'er's retreat.
This time the wait is a full three months.
On this day, Xu Qingfan was preaching to Bai Yu and Zhang Ningmei, but he was suddenly slightly stunned, looking towards Ting'er's room, and as Xu Qingfan turned his head, a majestic momentum suddenly came out of Ting'er's room.
