Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 333 Who made me have a good apprentice?

Snowy days are always a time to say goodbye.

Zhang Ze pushed open the window, and the raging wind and snow outside rushed into the house, blowing away the smell of old age in the room.

The candlelight flickered, and Li Guanqi's shadow was stretched out very long.

"Turn it up a little wider." Old Li's weak voice sounded behind Zhang Ze.

"It's cold, we can't open it anymore." Zhang Ze was a little embarrassed.

"I told you to open it, so you opened it. Ahem, I feel like this room is too stuffy."

Old Li took a deep breath, trying to make his voice carry some of his former authority, but all he got was a cough like a broken bellows.

"We really can't open it!" Zhang Ze turned around and held down his master who wanted to get up.

"Although there are only a few hours left, I am still your master. Hurry up and open it wider. Also, you... you bring the chive flowers."

"The window is wide open. What if they smell something? Even if you run away, I'll still have to stay here and get scolded."

Zhang Ze handed the chives to his master and put a plate of dragon boat into the double-flavored pot.

"What are those magical instruments of yours for? Sealing off the space in the room is like trying to get the meat out quickly. It will get old in a while."

While teaching his apprentice, Old Li stirred the sesame paste in the bowl with chopsticks.

Zhang Ze lowered his spoon to the bottom, scooped it up slowly, and after taking out the boiled beef, he felt a little embarrassed, as if he didn't want to give it to his master.

"Your dipping sauce"

Old Li coughed again, pointed at Zhang Ze with his chopsticks, and said, "Shabu-shabu meat must be made with sesame sauce, fermented bean curd, and chives. Your oil sauce won't do. I'm the boss here today, so listen to me."

"alright."

Zhang Ze reluctantly threw out his pearls again, sealing off this world to prevent the aroma of the hot pot from leaking out.

Zhang Ze took the sesame sauce dish prepared by his master and started eating.

Maybe the hot pot was too spicy, Lao Li would cough after eating for a while. Every time this happened, he would pick up a pill on the table, dip it in sesame paste and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, his somewhat pale face turned rosy again.

The whole person exudes a feeling of being at the end of his life and the last rays of light from the inside out.

Li Guanqi's body in the illusion is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person. Although it is well maintained, it is also reaching the end of its life.

Although it is not true death, the feeling of the body gradually declining, the qi and blood constantly depleting, and the person approaching the end of life is extremely real.

The reality even scared Lao Li a little.

He was afraid that once he closed his eyes he would never open them again.

Of course, he would not tell Zhang Ze about this. After all, he was his master, so how could he be scared by such a little inner demon?

The old duck still has to be tough.

As for Zhang Ze, he saw the fear in his master's eyes after entering the door. However, as a good disciple of the master, there are some things he cannot see.

Moreover, the trick of pretending to be filial by crying at a funeral is indeed not suitable for him, let alone Lao Li.

So after Zhang Ze drove everyone away, he took out his refining furnace, placed it in the house, added a partition in the middle, and temporarily turned it into a double-boiled pot.

The master and the disciple gathered around the pot, discussing sesame paste and oil sauce in the atmosphere of the world, and kept silent about matters of life and death.

It was not until the wind and snow outside stopped, the smoke in the house dissipated, and the red pill could no longer withstand the vitality in his dantian, that Old Li sighed, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and wanted to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, Zhang Ze grabbed his hand and said, "Master, please don't say anything too corny. First, you are not really dead. Second, you are saying that you are happy. What if I pee in my eyes?"

"Pee in the eyes, cough cough." Old Li was so angry at Zhang Ze that he started coughing. "Crying is crying, but pee in the eyes? Where do you get all these weird words from? Besides, can you cry?"

"Look at what you said, of course it wouldn't happen. You personally accepted the apprentice, but you don't know that disciples are the most sentimental. It's a pity that I'm not a girl, otherwise I would definitely take an iron broom and bury all the flowers in the world."

Zhang Zekou kept on blabbering, but Old Li lowered his head more and more.
"Master?" Zhang Ze called out in a low voice.

Old Li raised his head again and asked, "What did you remember?"

Zhang Ze thought that his master still understood him. He suddenly remembered something and told his master without delay.

"After you leave, please check one thing: the record in the Dongqi Chronicles about the founding emperor Xiao Qingyun and the attack on the Three Gods Mountain. The more detailed the better. When Chen Qin comes in for the third time, have her bring it to me.

"No, that's it."

After a long silence, Lao Li ended his journey into the fantasy world, while Zhang Ze still sat at the table holding his "master's" hand and began to think about a very critical issue.

What should I do with my master's 'corpse'?
Before, when my junior sisters logged off, they would disappear in a flash, leaving nothing behind. However, when my master logged off, he left this 'physical body' behind.

Zhang Ze walked to the window. The heavy snow outside had stopped. Looking at the winter snow illuminated by the moonlight, Zhang Ze was in a dilemma.

The master is not dead, but he has to have a funeral in the illusion. Is this right or wrong?

While Zhang Ze was struggling, Mee Mee was busy.

She rummaged through Zhang Ze's room, searching for the diary. During the past five years, Zhang Ze was learning the art of refining weapons, while Mimi was fighting a one-sided battle of wits and courage with him.

MeeMee never gave up on the diary because it was her mission.

And MeeMee doesn't allow herself to fail.

But unfortunately, she has never succeeded in thousands of attempts in the past five years. She almost succeeded several times, but always failed in the end.

If it weren't for the fact that this little fairy's stupid suit was so effective, she would have been discovered by Zhang Ze long ago.

And tonight, Mee Mee felt that it was time for her to succeed. She sneaked onto Zhang Ze's bed, reached under the quilt, and soon her eyes lit up as she grabbed something that looked like a notebook.

"Haha, it's only a matter of a thousand days to be a thief, but you can never be on guard against thieves. Now that I've achieved success and fame, I'm going to retire tonight."

Meow Meow shouted and took out the little notebook from under the quilt.

However, when she saw it clearly, she was stunned.

It's not a diary, but a book called "Hua Zong Xian Fang".

"What is this?" Meeme climbed onto the bed and carefully opened the book, wanting to see if Zhang Ze was deliberately creating confusion again.

But after just one glance, Meeme closed the book.

"This is too shameful!"

In other words, she is now wearing the leather suit of the little earth fairy, otherwise she would have a nosebleed on the bed.

"No, there may be a secret here. Let me take another look."

Meeme opened the illustrated royal book again and read it carefully.

She wanted to find flaws in it, but in the end she gradually became addicted to the wonderful literary world where the skirt faded and the jade shoulders slid.

But just when she saw the key point, her bleating radar sensed something.

somebody is coming?

Mee Mee thought it was Zhang Ze, so she stuffed the imperial book back in a flash, smoothed the corner of the quilt, somersaulted to the end of the bed, and fell backwards into the quilt. She took out a knife from her overalls and started acting like a murderer.

She had used this trick to get away with it several times, and Zhang Ze had gotten used to it.

However, this time she miscalculated, because the person who came was not Zhang Ze.

A shadowy figure dressed in black slipped into the room.

The man's face could not be seen clearly, and he had no thickness. It seemed that he was just a shadow. He came to the head of Zhang Ze's bed quietly and reached down to touch him.

It seems like he is also looking for something.

Mee Mee was stunned because she didn't know who this person was.
The only outsider besides Zhang Ze, her, Li Guanqi, and Xiao Dixianer was the junior sister who could not stay in the room for long.

Now, Zhang Ze is not here, the little apprentice sister is not here, Lao Li just left, and the little earth fairy is her suit.
So who is this shadow?
Why is it looking for that diary?
Meow Meow didn't sense any human scent from the shadow, and a very dangerous feeling crawled over her body.

She subconsciously arched her buttocks backward, reached out to touch the wall, and triggered a mechanism.

Meeme is more familiar with the mechanisms in this room than Zhang Ze.

Click.

A sharp explosion sounded in the room, and the magic circle outside the house closed, and a powerful pressure pressed towards the shadow.

The shadow then noticed the little earth fairy at the end of the bed. It "looked" at the little earth fairy without any emotion.

But he did not go out. Instead, he picked up the imperial book that he had not yet opened and disappeared into thin air.

The formation in the room seemed to have no meaning to him.

Shadow had just left when Zhang Ze entered the room. He waved his hand to stop the alarm and looked curiously at the little earth fairy holding a knife at the end of the bed.

Zhang Ze, "What's wrong?"

Baa Baa said, "There's a thief!"

Zhang Ze frowned slightly, "Thief? What thief?"

Meow Meow hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "I don't know. I don't know it. It was a shadow-like monster. It grabbed something from under your blanket and then ran away."

Zhang Ze said "oh" and didn't seem surprised.

After searching around the room, he turned to look at Meow Meow, "Let's not talk about that shadow for now. What are you doing here?"

Meow Meow's eyes wandered around, and finally he looked at the knife in his hand. He rushed forward screaming, "I'll stab you to death! I'll stab you to death! I'll stab you to death!"

Zhang Ze gently raised his foot and stopped the little fairy with a ball-stopping action, then shook it twice and kicked the little fairy out of the window.

Looking at the little earth fairy who was buried in the snow and dug a tunnel to escape, Zhang Ze smiled and walked forward to close the window.

He made some hand gestures and drew a few circles in the air, and a box fell from the ceiling.

Opening the box, Zhang Ze took out the diary stuck in the crack of Tai Sui's buttocks, opened it to the latest page, and then sighed.

"Ugh?"

——What are you sighing about? I’m going to kill you with this dividing line——Li Guanqi opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a chair. Above his head was the ceiling of the first floor of Yushu Tower. It felt familiar, yet strange.

The near-death experience and the years he had gone through in the illusion were still a bit hazy when he recalled it now. An indescribable emotion lingered in his heart.

Li Guanqi stared at the ceiling for a long moment before realizing that Old Tang was standing nearby, his head tilted to one side, gazing at him. His eyes were filled with curiosity, as if he had discovered something new.

"Master Dao, you..."

Before Li Guanqi could finish his words, Old Tang made a silencing gesture and then asked, "Did that kid Zhang Ze say anything to you?"

"He asked me to help him find it."

After Li Guanqi told him what Zhang Ze had asked him to do, Old Tang nodded and said, "I understand. I'll help you with this. Don't think about anything now, and go wherever you want."

"Where am I going?"

"The heart moves as it pleases."

After saying that, Old Tang pushed Li Guanqi out and closed the door of Yushu Tower.

As the door closed, Li Guanqi heard Old Tang say, "What a good disciple! Why isn't he mine?"

The Yushu Tower was still covered by the water curtain at this time. Looking at the sun outside the water curtain, Li Guanqi felt it was a bit dazzling.

After greeting Zhu Luo outside the Jade Book Tower, Li Guanqi followed Old Tang's advice and began to wander aimlessly in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, occasionally greeting passers-by.

And that inexplicable feeling became stronger and stronger, as if all I needed was a chance to...

What exactly is it?

He stopped under a tree and fell into deep thought as he looked at the ancient tree in front of him, which was transplanted from Linglu Valley and grew against the seasons due to its special species.

At that time~
Something fell on Lao Li's head. It was neither an apple nor a pear, but a spirit stone thrown by his bad friend Wang Buyu.

"Hey, you're out. Where's that kid Zhang Ze?" asked the fat old man who lived in the library all year round and loved reading and playing with thunder.

"Still in there, what's wrong?"

"Not much." Wang Buyu came over with a smug look on his face, his pot belly swaying, and gestured, "One hundred and thirty years."

Wang Buyu was still trying to disgust him by saying that Old Li had had his salary deducted for 130 years because of Zhang Ze.

Li Guanqi looked at Wang Buyu, recalling the Taoist's advice, and suddenly understood the meaning of "the heart moves at will."

The so-called following one's heart means doing whatever one wants, and what he wants to do most now is to beat up the fat old man Wang Buyu.

Don't think about anything else, just beat him up first.

"Practice?" Li Guanqi's iron rod appeared in his hand, and he raised his chin to Wang Buyu.

Old Wang pinched his chin and looked Li Guanqi up and down, but because of his poor eyesight, he didn't notice anything unusual.

He nodded, and then, without any moral principles, he took the initiative and pulled Li Guanqi into his own thunder domain.

The bloodthirsty spectators also appeared from all corners as if they were being refreshed, looking up at the thunder field in the sky.

In the sky.

Seeing Li Guanqi being pulled into the Thunder Realm by him, Wang Buyu smiled slightly, "What do you mean, are you still going to practice? In my Thunder Realm, the method your apprentice taught you called Faraday Dragon or something like that won't work."

Because the six sects have decided to exchange their knowledge and resources, Wang Buyu has also made great progress recently, and has come up with many new tricks for his Lightning Sword Formation, and this Thunder Domain is one of them.

He planned to upgrade again in a while and upgrade his Lightning Sword into a Thunderfire Sword.

Li Guanqi, the defeated opponent, wanted to practice, which was like a pillow thrown to him when he was sleepy, and it just hit the spot.

However, even though thunder roared all around him, Li Guanqi's heart was extremely calm, because he suddenly realized that this scene was nothing compared to the feeling of his body irreversibly weakening.

"I see."

He closed his eyes and stopped looking at the brilliant lightning around him.

In fact, both he and Wang Buyu had been sitting on the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm for many years. However, because they had plenty of time and were still young, they had no plans to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. They planned to stabilize themselves first and settle down for another hundred or eight years before making any plans.

However, after he "died" once in the illusion, he suddenly realized that many things were actually unnecessary to be so troublesome.

Move forward, no matter what happens, it is better than spinning in circles like Wang Buyu, fiddling with his own mine-breaking device.

If you keep hesitating, you will only get stuck in the quagmire.

Even if I fail, the worst that can happen is I can just have another hotpot meal.

At this moment, Li Guanqi's mind became clear and he took a step forward.

However, this breakthrough on the battlefield was not as difficult as Li Guanqi had imagined.

There were no strange phenomena in heaven and earth, no flesh and blood breaking apart, no soul and body being scattered, everything happened naturally and smoothly.

It was as if he had been prepared for this, and the only thing stopping him was the mental barrier.

If you can break through the barriers in your heart, your journey will naturally be smooth.

"I'm just scaring myself." Li Guanqi muttered to himself softly.

However, being fearless of life and death is easy to say but as difficult as climbing to the sky.

His aura was restrained, and Li Guanqi's appearance had not changed.

Wang Buyu's lightning went straight through Lao Li's body, but did not cause any effect, as if he did not exist there at all.

"Huh?" Wang Buyu looked at his old friend in confusion, "You..."

"Fatty, there's a saying that goes, the real victory is outside the chessboard, so... take it."

Li Guanqi's voice echoed from all directions around Wang Buyu.

The lightning began to condense and turned into chess pieces. Wang Buyu's lightning domain instantly turned into Li Guanqi's chessboard.

Robbed.

"Damn! You hanged man, you plotted against me. When did you make the breakthrough?" Wang Buyu was shocked and confused.

"Just now." Li Guanqi answered lightly, looking like a hermit.

Wang said nothing, "?"

He felt that Li Guanqi was showing off to him and had sufficient evidence.

Wang said nothing, "Why?"

Li Guanqi, "Oh, I have a good disciple. Alright, enough useless talk, Fatty, watch out for the sword!"

Wang said, "Get out of here! Are you a human being if you bully the God of Transformation?"

Li Guanqi, "Junior brother, what do you mean by that? I made a breakthrough right before the battle, but my Dao heart is still unstable. You have been through a lot of training and have a deep foundation. This is a victory for you!"
"I don't know thunder magic, and your thunder magic is unparalleled. This is your second victory!
“You have two wins, I have zero wins, this is your third win.

"Three wins against zero wins, this is four wins."

"You are always victorious, why are you afraid of me?"

Wang said nothing, "?"

Wang Buyu felt that this was not human language.

"Fatty, if you want to leave, it's not difficult. Give me your salary of more than 130 years, and I will let you go." Li Guanqi chuckled.

Wang Buyu was really speechless.

He thought to himself, how come this old guy has become bad after just a few days of not seeing him, and has the same character as Zhang Ze?

What's going on with the master being like the apprentice?
But Wang Buyu is not a pushover. Although he does not have the courage to break through in the battle, he has the domineering attitude and is not afraid of losing face.

Wang Buyu snorted coldly, and his energy sank into his dantian. While Lao Li was not paying attention, he pointed to the east, condensed the sound into a line, and shouted loudly.

"Master, save me!"

At this time, you have to go to the master to complain.

The main peak of the Seventh Sword Pavilion.

Wang Buyu's voice rang in the ears of Li Guanqi and Wang Buyu's master, the Master of Zhengyi Pavilion.

"Master, save me, my senior brother bullies me!"

However, after a long time, nothing happened.

Because the master did not read the message but just drank tea and watched the show.

……

Qianji Town, bomb Shide.

Her Majesty the Cat Lady was cocooning beside the table like a giant maggot, and from time to time she looked back in the direction of Qianji Pavilion, where the screams were coming from. She really wanted to go over there to watch the excitement.

Si Niang slapped the bamboo stick in her hand on the table beside His Majesty.

"Finish your homework before going out to play! And correct all your mistakes."

"I'm not wrong, it's the teacher who made the mistake!" His Majesty is still in confusion.

When Si Niang heard this, she immediately got angry.

"Look at what you wrote. What do you mean by an elephant crashing into the Three Masters Mountain and burying you, and when you crawl out, a meteorite falls from the sky and kills all your enemies?

"That's called Sanshen Mountain! Where does Sanyemen Mountain come from?"

"You really think you are the emperor, and I buried you..."

Si Niang tapped His Majesty's head, furious. "I told you to read, but you didn't. You were just wasting your energy! You scribbled your homework on the first day of kindergarten. I think you're going to die! Rewrite it!"

"But this is the fact..." Her Majesty the Cat Lady covered her head and said aggrievedly.
