Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 161 Leisure
Qu Hongxiao's yard is not big and is located in a secluded place, but the courtyard is kept quite clean.

"Master Gu isn't here?"

"Master is dead."

"..." Zhu Juyin apologized:
"I am sorry for your loss."

"It's okay." Qu Hongxiao waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Everyone will die. I will die, and you will die too. I will only be sad for a short while."

She pinched her index finger and thumb and giggled.

"Too."

Zhu Ju nodded and looked at Qu Hongxiao in front of him.

After all, the woman in front of me is different from ordinary people, and it is difficult for her to handle her life well.

Her long hair had been hanging down behind her in clumps for who knows how long, and her clothes were torn and torn in patches.

The shoes were new and clean, but they didn't fit.

He then asked:
"How did you live before?"

During the three-line gathering, Qu Hongxiao dressed very normally, so normally that he ignored her IQ.

"Xiao Cui was with me at that time. She helped me with my laundry and dressing." Qu Hongxiao said a little embarrassedly:

"Brother, am I useless?"

"Where is Xiao Cui now?" Zhu Ju asked:
"After Uncle Master passed away, he should have left you a lot of inheritance. Hiring servants shouldn't be a problem."

"Xiao Cui is busy at someone else's house." Qu Hongxiao scratched her head.

"Master left some things for me, but my senior brothers and sisters' families took them all away."

"they said……"

"Master has spent a lot of money taking care of me over the years. The remaining money should not be used on me."

"Now all I have is this small courtyard and a few sets of clothes. Of course, no one can take my sword away."

She raised the sword in her hand with a look of pride.

"When did it happen?" Zhu Ju was silent for a moment:
"You should have informed me when Uncle Gu left."

"No need." Qu Hongxiao waved her hand.

"Master said that he's used to a busy life and wants to leave quietly and alone. As for me..."

"I have to learn to live alone because my master said that no one can take care of me forever, including him."

"Master didn't lie."

"Master Gu is a man of great wisdom." Zhu Juyin sighed:
"After Master Uncle left, have you been living alone like this?"

"Yeah." Qu Hongxiao nodded, turned around, got a stool, and found two snacks from the kitchen.

She put the big piece in Zhu Ju's hand, took the small piece herself, and put it in her mouth with a silly smile.

"Brother, try it."

Looking at the not-so-good-looking and not-so-clean snack in his hand, Zhu Ju smiled and put it in his mouth.

“The taste is average.”

"As long as you can eat it."

Qu Hongxiao said while busying herself:

"I now know how to live without help from others, and that is to stay away from crowded places."

She gestured and continued:
"I'm different from others. I should eat alone, sleep alone, and... die alone."

"Don't bother others, don't trouble others, just live your whole life like this."

"Master said that many people are like this!"

"Yes." Zhu Ju's eyes were complicated.
"Many people are like this, and I am the same. Living alone is fine as long as you get used to it."

"but……"

“People always have to have hope.”

"I have it!" Qu Hongxiao's eyes lit up, and she pointed her finger forward, a faint flash of sword light passing by:

"Swordsmanship!"

"I have sword skills to accompany me, and I have already opened the fourth acupoint."

"Master said that once all nine orifices are fully opened and I achieve the foundation of Taoism, there will be a way to cure my illness."

She looked expectant.

"I really want to experience what it's like to be a normal person."

"Junior sister is incredibly talented. I admire her." Zhu Ju praised:
"He will surely achieve the Dao foundation one day."

As expected of a person with innate sword bones, his talent is no less than that of Pei Jingque and the Qi siblings.

pity……

If his intelligence is normal, it must be the core true teaching.

"Brother, have you lined up to ask Uncle Yu to refine a magical instrument?" Qu Hongxiao scratched her messy hair and asked:

“I remember it was very busy.”

"It's already in line." Zhu Ju smiled faintly:
"I got Sister Pei's token, so I can jump the queue. However, it will probably take more than half a year for the magic weapon to be refined."

"Junior sister."

He took out something:
"This is for you."

"what is this?"

"Sword Talisman." Zhu Ju said:

"Dragon-shaped sword talisman, Junior Sister, you can practice the Flying Dragon Sword Technique, which will make it easier to control the sword talisman."

"This..." Qu Hongxiao waved her hands repeatedly:

"This thing is too valuable, I can't have it."

"Take it." Zhu Ju did not allow her to refuse, and put the sword talisman into her hand, saying with a smile:
"I picked it up. Junior Sister happens to have an innate sword bone. This thing is more suitable for you than for me."

before coming.

He originally planned to repay the favor with external elixir.

Unexpectedly, Qu Hongxiao had already opened the fourth acupoint, so the external elixir was of little use.

On the contrary, this dragon-shaped sword talisman becomes more powerful the higher the cultivation level of the person who uses it, and it will not be outdated even if it is used in the late stage of the innate realm.

"You once said that we are friends and we shouldn't be so formal, right?"

The familiar words made Qu Hongxiao blush. She lowered her head and carefully placed the sword talisman close to her body.

"Senior brother."

"I...I'll cook for you."

"No need." Zhu Ju shook his head and refused:
"We should all get used to living alone. Junior Sister is like this, and so am I."

"Farewell!"

Watching Zhu Ju's back as he walked away, Qu Hongxiao opened her lips slightly.

Actually,
She would rather have someone around.

…………

The autumn wind has arrived and the cold is about to come.

As the news of the robbery spread among the people, more and more disciples of the Mingxu Sect were attacked when they went out.

For a time, there was panic and every tree and grass seemed like an enemy.

The second-level formation covering Longshou Peak has been opened, and every move made by those inside it will be monitored.

Safety is guaranteed.

But it also makes many things inconvenient to do.

Small courtyard.

Zhu Ju planted two unknown flowers in his courtyard, which came from two different worlds.

At this time, the flowers sway and bloom in the wind.

Quiet room.

The books are turned page by page.

"The Xuanxu body is indeed one of the innate Dao bodies. This kind of body type hardly has any so-called blocked acupoints."

"As long as one begins practicing cultivation at a young age, one can cultivate to the state of fully opening all nine orifices."

"I didn't expect..." "There's actually a method specifically designed for this kind of physique?"

Four Stars Ban!

This is a secret method that can restrain one's own aura and at the critical moment, it can also maximize the body's potential.

The most important thing is.

The outburst of this secret technique will not harm the body.

of course.

It can only be a limited burst, which can increase strength by 10% or 20% at most. No matter how strong it is, it will still hurt the body.

Zhu Ju held his chin with his hand, thinking:
"Although I'm not a true Xuanxu Daoist body, if I add the Cang Yuan Jue, my ability to conceal my aura is probably no less than Pei Jingque's."

"Even if they are Daoist cultivators, they won't be able to tell my true level of cultivation if they don't investigate carefully."

"Tsk tsk..."

"Breaking through two acupoints in a row, achieving the ultimate state of the true body, and also having a secret technique, it turns out that climbing to a higher level is the fastest shortcut."

"If Senior Sister Pei can truly become a Dao Foundation cultivator, my status in the Mingxu Sect will also rise."

"Next..."

"Go to the fire room first."

Different world.

Yidu.

"Cough cough!"

Stuart lay in bed coughing constantly, and every time he coughed, blood foam spurted out of his mouth.

"father!"

Situ Kongli knelt beside him with tears in his eyes and took care of him carefully.

"Ah..." Situ Sheng gasped for breath, his body trembling from time to time, struggling to look at his daughter:

"Have you...your aunt arrived yet?"

"almost!"

Situ Kongli's eyes turned red:

"Dad, don't worry about these trivial matters anymore. Aunt will definitely come to see you as soon as she arrives."

"Dad... Dad is dying." Situ Sheng's eyes were dull and his breathing was heavy.
"The Life-Locking Pill is said to lock one's lifespan for a year, but I didn't expect all sorts of symptoms to appear after just six months."

"I'm afraid..."

"I can't last a year!"

Given his current condition, what would it matter even if he could hold on for a year? Could he really fight to the death with others?
"father!"

Situ Kongli's voice was filled with sorrow.

Two years ago.

The City Lord's Mansion is still full of distinguished guests, and the Situ family is still prosperous.

now,

There are dangers everywhere.

The chaos in the General's Mansion has not yet been completely resolved, and the threats from Tianxing City and Pansiling are already imminent.

External threats have not yet arrived, but internal strife has already begun.

Situ Sheng didn't even dare let anyone know about his condition, and even his illness needed Situ Kongli to take care of him personally.

"clatter……"

"Brother-in-law!"

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

The eyes of the father and daughter lit up. Situ Kongli hurriedly opened the door, and his expression changed slightly.

There were two people standing outside the door.

One is a beautiful young woman, and the other is a handsome young man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Kongli."

The young woman nodded towards Situ Kongli and began to introduce the young man:
"This is Bai Qianjue, the young master of Baiyun Temple. Don't be fooled by his youth, but he is already a peak mage."

"Young Master Bai."

Situ Kongli pursed his lips and nodded:

"I've heard about the name for a long time."

"Miss Kongli." Bai Qianjue looked back and forth at Situ Kongli, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but praise:

"The rumors are true. Miss Kongli is extremely graceful and elegant, rarely seen in this world."

Hear the words.

There was no trace of joy on Situ Kongli's face. Instead, he lowered his eyebrows slightly to suppress the disgust in his heart.

"cough!"

The young woman coughed lightly:

"Young Master Bai, now is not the time to talk about this. Please check on my brother-in-law first."

"Yes, yes." Bai Qianjue came back to his senses.

indeed.

The other person's father is almost dead, and no praise can move her heart at this time.

Although Baiyun Temple is not famous for its medical skills, it has many doctors, and Bai Qianjue is a master among them.

No matter what.

"Life-locking Pill!"

After checking on Stuart's condition, he shook his head with regret:

"Please forgive my inability to help. This situation has no solution. I can only try to alleviate your pain."

"That's enough." Situ Sheng propped himself up.

"Thank you, Young Master Bai."

"Also, please keep my current condition confidential and don't tell anyone else."

"Of course." Bai Qianjue nodded in agreement.

After seeing Bai Qianjue off, Situ Sheng leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the young woman who was no longer as beautiful as she used to be, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Wei Yu."

"The Situ family depends on you."

"Don't worry." Yun Zhiyu waved her hair lightly and said calmly:
"Even if I don't like you as my brother-in-law, I will help the Situ family for the sake of my sister and Kong Li."

"but……"

"The Situ family's situation is not very good!"

"Yes." Situ Sheng nodded.

"My second brother is dead, and I am also dying. It will take Kongli several more years to become a great wizard."

"threaten……"

“But it’s right before our eyes.”

"I know." Yun Zhiyu held her chin with her hand.

"Tianxing City and Pansiling, both of these are guarded by real people, so it's not easy to deal with them."

"Even if I were here, I would only be one more great wizard. Don't you have anyone else you can use?"

"Yes." Situ Sheng's throat turned.

"The corpse Taoist priest in the Ghost Market is my old friend for many years. As long as his life or death is not threatened, he will stand on the side of the Situ family."

"There is also the Tree Grandma in the south of the city. The Situ family owes her a life-saving debt. We can ask her for help in times of crisis."

"There are a few monster hunters who can help."

"There is also a strange man named Zhu Ju. He owes Kong Li a favor, so he can help him once."

"Just one attack?" Yun Zhiyu frowned.

"Yes." Situ Sheng nodded.

"This person has a mysterious background and an aloof personality. Even if we let him take action once, there is no guarantee that he will succeed."
