Chapter 29. Relics.
The back mountain of Jiuhua is still quiet at this time. Looking around, there is a piece of green that can be seen, sometimes decorated with green shades and colorful flowers, making people outside the scenery feel peaceful.
But Xu Qingfan could not feel the tranquility. His heart was still on the top of Jiuhua Mountain with white snow and cold wind. Although the climate there was dry and cold, his heart was extremely warm when he lived there.
At least that was the case when the old man was still alive.
When Zhang Hualing announced the revocation of Baicao Garden on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, Xu Qingfan couldn't tell what he felt. He seemed angry, helpless, and seemed to have such a hint of relaxation.
At this time, Xu Qingfan was taking Ting'er Xiaobi, and the "Wanliyun" was flying towards the familiar but almost forgotten place in the back mountain.
Under Xu Qingfan's control, the "Wanli Cloud" turned into a beacon ten feet in a circle, so even the huge little bird could carry it. However, a huge cloud with colorful rays of clouds carrying a huge monster on it, but it always seemed a bit out of place.
After Liu Huaxiang passed away, Xiao Bi also seemed a little listless, or, it suddenly realized that the old man who had often fed its spiritual herbs would never appear again.
But Ting'er was still cold, just staring at Xu Qingfan beside her, with something in her eyes.
But Xu Qingfan was not in the mood to watch the scenery of Jiuhua’s back mountain, nor did he have the heart to observe the reflections of Ting'er and Xiaobi. He just silently played with the two relics of Liu Huaxiang given to him by Zhang Hualing in his hand.
One was a crystal stone with strange light, about the size of a fist, but there was a corner missing from the top, which seemed to be deliberately broken. However, Xu Qingfan found that although this crystal stone seemed inconspicuous, it was extremely hard, but it was not the one who used what method to fold it and what it was used for. It was trapped that Xu Qingfan did not see any energy fluctuations from the crystal stone. I don’t know what the name of the crystal stone is and what its function is, and what is Liu Huaxiang’s intention to pass this crystal stone to him.
Looking at this crystal stone, Xu Qingfan always felt a sense of familiarity, and seemed to have seen it somewhere. It should be that there was a related introduction in a certain book, but he couldn't remember it. After thinking about it for a long time, he had to give up. He secretly decided in his heart that he would carefully search in various books after returning to the cave.
Another relic was just an ordinary letter. According to Zhang Hualing, after Xu Qingfan left the top of Jiuhua Mountain and went to Hualing Hall to receive the position. Liu Huaxiang taught Ting'er to practice immortality as usual. Suddenly his face changed, he walked back to the house silently, wrote the letter, and then lay on the bed and never got up again. It can be said that this letter was Liu Huaxiang's legacy to Xu Qingfan.
On the envelope of the letter, five big words appeared on it: "Xu Xiaozi personally opened it". The handwriting was chaotic, as if Liu Huaxiang had lost all his strength when the SAIC letter was sent.
Looking at the letter in his hand, as if he didn't want to face it, Xu Qingfan hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly opened the letter and read it carefully.
In the letter, the words "I still have a few lines of chaotic words, without saying goodbye or any affectionate words. I just told Xu Qingfan a few things and asked Xu Qingfan to do a few things.
After slowly reading the contents of the letter, Xu Qingfan took it apart, put it in his arms, and put it away with his body. Then he murmured: "Is that true? Since that's the case, I will fulfill these things as your last wish."
Although Xu Qingfan did not deliberately go to the envoy, as he muttered to himself, the scenery in front of him was already the same as the cave where he lived nearly thirty years ago. At this time, he was surrounded by a fog. However, it was the defensive formation set up for the cave before Xu Qingfan left.
He pinched his fingers and opened the closed cave, and the scenery inside was still the same. Walking with Ting'er Xiaobi into this place that seemed to have become unfamiliar. Xu Qingfan sighed slightly, bowed deeply to the tomb of Yue Qingru in the courtyard, and said softly: "Senior Brother, I have been busy practicing for many years, but I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't blame me."
As he said that, Xu Qingfan suddenly turned around and looked at Ting'er who was silently staring at him. While looking at each other, Xu Qingfan suddenly smiled, patted Ting'er's shoulder, and said softly: "I have been kneeling in front of the coffin for the past seven days. Although your body will not be in trouble, I must be tired in my heart, right?"
Ting'er shook her head and said softly: "You're even more tired."
Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Ting'er, who had always been taciturn, would talk to him at this time. However, Liu Huaxiang had just passed away, but he was not in the mood to be happy or confused, but he felt a little more relieved. He smiled again, and then suddenly waved his right sleeve, and two magic weapons with sparkling light suddenly appeared in front of Ting'er.
But it was the "Wanliyun" and "Qingling Armguard" that Xu Qingfan used before.
But Xu Qingfan said to Ting'er: "You are about to enter the Lingji Period, about ten years earlier than I expected. So no matter if I don't examine your Grandpa Liu, I haven't had time to prepare magic weapons for you. These two magic weapons were used before I formed a pill, namely the Wanliyun used for flying and the Qingling arm guard for defense. I can't use it now, so I'll give it to you."
Indeed, Xu Qingfan has now entered the Dan Killing Stage and can use the "Cloud Control Technique", and the effect is no worse than "Wanliyun". After having the "Five Spirit Bell" whose defense is not below the Heavenly Level Magical Artifact, the "Qingling Armguard" defense seems redundant, so it is just given to Ting'er, who has no magical artifacts yet.
Ting'er nodded. When facing Xu Qingfan, she did not refuse at all. She waved her right sleeve and put the "Wanliyun" and "Qingling Armguard" into her sleeve.
Xu Qingfan nodded and said, "You are very familiar with this place, so let's go back to your own house to refine these two magic weapons. In the future, Grandpa Liu is gone. If you encounter any questions about cultivating immortals, come and ask me."
Ting'er nodded slightly. She looked at Xu Qingfan deeply again, and a trace of worry seemed to flash in her eyes. Then she didn't say anything more, and just turned around and went back to the house to refine the magic weapon.
After Xiaobi suddenly returned to the place where she lived when she was "children", she seemed a little excited and kept rolling in the courtyard, which crushed countless flowers and plants in the courtyard for a while. It seemed that she had abandoned the listlessness she had just now.
Xu Qingfan was not interested in making Xiaobi's foolishness at this time, but he bowed to Yue Qingru's tombstone again, and then turned around and walked towards the room before him.
The cave in the back mountain of Xu Qingfan is quiet and distant, with a sense of ethereality. In the house where he is also a neat and exquisite wooden house, although not elegant, it is also neat. Compared with the broken thatched house where Xu Qingfan lived in the past twenty or thirty years, it is more than ten times better?
But Xu Qingfan found that he liked and was more accustomed to the dilapidated thatched house.
Suddenly, Xu Qingfan seemed to remember something, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that Xu Qingfan suddenly remembered that if the dilapidated thatched house where he lived at the top of Jiuhua Mountain represented his memory of Liu Huaxiang, then the wooden house in Jiuhua Back Mountain was also his memory of his senior brother Yue Qingru?
But now, Xu Qingfan found that he was more nostalgic about the dilapidated thatched house represented by Liu Huaxiang. Is it because his feelings for Liu Huaxiang are deeper than those for Yue Qingru?
No, whether it is the elder brother Yue Qingru who took good care of him, or Liu Huaxiang who was both a teacher and a friend of him. Xu Qingfan seems to be the elders who are extremely important to him, and their feelings are the same, with a hint of attachment in gratitude.
But at this time, Xu Qingfan missed Liu Huaxiang's thatched house even more. There is only one reason to explain, that is, Yue Qingru had been dead for nearly fifty years, while Liu Hua's statement was only seven days old.
When Yue Qingru just passed away, Xu Qingfan's mood was not sad? Even at that time, Xu Qingfan didn't experience much. His heart was not numbed by successive experiences, and his sorrow and pain were much deeper than now. However, more than forty years have passed, and any sorrow or nostalgia will slowly fade away by time until it disappears. In this moment, Xu Qingfan was treating Yue Qingru. Or forty years later, Xu Qingfan treats Liu Huaxiang.
People cannot always live in the past. They must always be forgotten. Time can always make people forget everything, even the grief of losing their loved ones. This is human nature, but this nature makes Xu Qingfan feel a little confused.
Because of this kind of common feelings, he felt a sense of guilt in his heart. No one wanted to be forgotten, but he realized that he had gradually forgotten Yue Qingru, or forty years later, he would gradually forget Liu Huaxiang. In this kind of forgetting and being forgotten, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt that perhaps human nature was lonely. He first kept forgetting the people around him, and then was constantly forgotten by the people around him.
Shaking his head slightly, putting aside the boring feeling in his heart, Xu Qingfan stepped towards the bookshelf in the house. Xu Qingfan always felt that the crystal stone would not be that simple.
Xu Qingfan had not done this kind of thing in decades because he had the same doubts before. Compared to searching for books, it would be better to ask Liu Huaxiang. Liu Huaxiang's mind was full of all information, and he got much more accurate and detailed answers when asked him than to search for books.
Unfortunately, Liu Huaxiang was no longer there at this time. The letter he left to Xu Qingfan did not mention the crystal stone at all.
Yue Qingru left many books, and Xu Qingfan has collected some of them over the years, which is even more huge. Although Xu Qingfan has confirmed that the information about this crystal stone has been accidentally seen in a certain book, he has forgotten which book it was. When he searched, he didn't know what year or month it was.
But at this time, Xu Qingfan was not in a hurry. He slowly opened it, forgetting the others for a while, and time passed by silently.
Three days later.
Xu Qingfan was holding a book "Miscellaneous Notes on the World of Immortal Cultivation" in his hand and was constantly opening it. Suddenly, when he saw a message, his expression condensed.
This passage describes the battle between cultivating immortals and demons more than ten thousand years ago.
"The Nine Demon Beads sacrificed by the Demon Ancestors gathered the blood of the wronged souls and blood of billions of people. The evil spirits of heaven and earth are formed with infinite power. I was killed and injured by countless people who practiced the immortals. However, the way of heaven is circulating and justice is preserved. An unknown immortal cultivator accidentally obtained a crystal stone when his demon power was at its peak. It was nothing strange, but it could easily disperse when the evil spirits invaded. It was the nemesis of the Demon Beads. However, although this thing was strange, it only took seven pieces to search for the vast land of the state of China. Use this to refine the Holy Spirit Sword to overcome the Nine Demon Beads, and the demon cultivation disaster could be overcome. This crystal stone is called the Holy Spirit Stone."
Seeing this passage, Xu Qingfan took out the crystal stone left by Liu Huaxiang for himself and observed it carefully, thinking in his heart: "Is this crystal stone the legendary Holy Spirit Stone? No wonder I can't remember the source of this crystal stone before. It turns out that its source is not in those books introducing genius treasures, but in these books that cultivate the world history."
Although he thought so, Xu Qingfan was not sure that this spirit stone was the "Holy Spirit Stone". He also thought: "When he gathered the power of the entire immortal world and searched the vast land of the entire Shenzhou, he only found seven of this holy spirit stones. Over the past ten thousand years, the holy spirit stones have rarely appeared. You can imagine the preciousness. I am afraid that this holy spirit stone is the most precious collection in Master Liu's life. However, since this holy spirit stone is so precious, why didn't Uncle Liu hand it over to the Master and give it to me as a relic? Is there any deep meaning?"
When Xu Qingfan thought of this, he suddenly moved his heart slightly and murmured: "Is it for the mutated dry air in my body? Uncle Liu wants me to use this Holy Spirit Stone to suppress or even solve the disaster of the mutated dry air in my body?"
Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan hesitated for a moment, and then mobilized the mutated dry air in his body and slowly input it into the crystal stone.
But as soon as Xu Qingfan's mutated dry air entered the crystal stone, the crystal stone, which had no energy fluctuations at all, suddenly shone brightly, and an extremely powerful holy spirit aura suddenly surged out of the crystal stone. It not only instantly repelled the mutated dry air from the input crystal stone, but also rushed into Xu Qingfan's body quickly.
After these holy spirit auras rushed into Xu Qingfan's body, they did not hesitate. They were like the mutated dry air entrenched in Xu Qingfan's dantian rushing away. The mutated dry air faced this holy spirit aura as if facing a dead place, and did not retreat at all. They were not controlled by Xu Qingfan and rushed towards the holy spirit aura and collided fiercely. However, although the mutated dry air was very powerful, the mutated dry air was not inferior at all, and the number was endless, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.
Just as two energy sources of different natures collided together, Xu Qingfan's body felt severely injured, his face turned pale in an instant, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood one after another.
But it turned out that it was the moment when the Holy Spirit Aura collided with the mutated dry air. Although the mutated dry air was dispersed a lot, Xu Qingfan's body was also severely damaged by the impact of these two energy sources. The originally incomparable meridians almost broke in an instant.
Feeling the heavy damage of his body, Xu Qingfan was shocked and threw away the crystal stone in his hand without hesitation, so that the holy spirit energy in his body could slowly disappear.
After wiping the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly. This crystal stone may really be the "Holy Spirit Stone". At least the extremely powerful Holy Spirit Aura contained in it will not be faked. However, Xu Qingfan's current body cannot withstand the collision caused by this Holy Spirit Aura when dispelling the mutated dry air. The trauma to Xu Qingfan's meridians will be disastrous.
In fact, this crystal stone is the rare "Holy Spirit Stone" in the immortal world. It was obtained by Li Xuhan hundreds of years ago. It can be said to be the largest and most precious collection of Li Xuhan's life. Even if it is placed in Jiuhua Mountain, it needs to be placed in the third secret library to count the treasures and treasures. The corner missing on this "Holy Spirit Stone" was the corner that Ji Xuhan finally folded down after trying all the methods before, and then put it into Zhang Xusheng's heart to calculate Zhang Xusheng.
Zhang Xusheng used millions of people's essence, blood and souls to make their own body powerful and transform their bodies. Although they were different from the method of cultivating demons ten thousand years ago, they were also restrained by the "Holy Spirit Stone". Although the holy spirit energy in this "Holy Spirit Stone" was extremely restrained, Li Xuhan was still worried about being seen by Zhang Xusheng, so he just hid a corner in his heart. Even so, the holy spirit energy contained in it could make Zhang Xusheng have no time to care for decades, which shows how powerful and terrifying the holy spirit energy contained in this "Holy Spirit Stone" is.
Li Xuhan left this "Holy Spirit Stone" to Xu Qingfan. In addition to letting Xu Qingfan use this to suppress the mutated dry air in his body, he also prevented it from using it when Xu Qingfan completed something he told in his letter.
But Xu Qingfan didn't know about this. He even used the wrong method when suppressing the mutated dry air. As a result, he was severely injured when the mutated dry air intersected with the Holy Spirit. If Xu Qingfan had just left this "Holy Spirit Stone" for a moment, it would be very likely that Xu Qingfan's meridians in his body would be cut off.
Feeling the situation in his body, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly, and could only slowly sit down, swallow several healing pills in succession, and then barely use the spiritual energy in his body to slowly heal the severe damage suffered in his body.
Although Xu Qingfan did it unintentionally, he suffered a severe injury. I don’t know how long it took, and the light outside the house was changing continuously. Ting'er had even refined the first magic weapon. Xu Qingfan finally finished healing and slowly opened his eyes.
After waking up, Xu Qingfan looked at the Holy Spirit Stone that had been thrown to the ground by him before, and shook his head with a wry smile.
This crystal stone may really be a "holy spirit stone", but it also suppresses the mutated dry air, but it cannot be used at all. A sense of helplessness arises in his heart.
Suddenly, Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly, as if he had thought of something again, and then picked up the crystal stone from the ground again, and used the spiritual energy in his body to carefully lead to the crystal stone.
But unlike last time, the spiritual energy that Xu Qingfan inputs this time is the Wood Yi spiritual energy in his body.
