Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

The annual demon-killing ceremony is here again.

This was the 8th demon-killing ceremony that Wang Qiye would go through since his soul traveled through time. Yesterday, he specially got new clothes from the errand hall, and put them on today. After a quick wash, he opened the door and walked towards the errand square.

Arriving at the errand square, there were only three or five people sitting in front of the neatly arranged square table. It seemed that they had arrived too early. Wang Qiye randomly chose a seat and sat down. He couldn't close his eyes yet because he had to give space to Li Erhu, Xia Yucheng and Mu Beiluo.

"Mu Beiluo, here!"

Wang Qiye shouted loudly and waved at him.

"coming!"

Mu Beiluo sat next to Wang Qiye.

"Look at the seat next to you. Hold it for Xia Yucheng, and I'll hold it for Li Erhu."

"Okay, Senior Brother Qiye, I heard that Senior Sister Jiang will also be performing this year."

Mu Beiluo covered his mouth and whispered quietly.

"I say. Why are you two hanging around that little girl all day? You don't know that little girl is very mean. When we were little, she often threw water balloons at my head."

Wang Qiye hated Xia Yucheng and Mu Beiluo for not living up to their expectations.

"Senior Sister Jiang said that it was for practicing magic, and it feels better this way. Besides, it's okay to be a little naughty when you're a kid."

Mu Beiluo spoke more and more quietly.

"Don't you know that it's hard to change one's nature?"

Wang Qiye still wanted to try to save the misguided boy.

"Xia Yucheng, Senior Brother Erhu, here!"

Mu Beiluo stood up and waved his arms. Wang Qiye had to stop preaching and looked at the two people who came later.

Li Erhu sat down next to Wang Qiye, and Xia Yucheng sat down next to Mu Beiluo. Mu Beiluo, who was active just now, now closed his eyes to rest and prepare for the Demon-Exorcism Festival. Wang Qiye and Li Erhu were silent.

"The elders have arrived. I greet all of you!"

Dong Jiangai stood up first, stretched out his hands and saluted.

All the senior brothers and sisters hurriedly stood up.

"Greetings to the elders!"

"Sit down, let the show begin!"

Elder Gongsun spoke.

The first to perform was the senior sister Dong Jiangai, whose sword dance had been watched by everyone for many years. However, as the little girl got older, she became even more attractive.

The second to perform on stage were Jiang Yuyan and her two junior sisters. This girl was indeed a scheming bitch, knowing that a red flower needs green leaves to complement it, so she found two of the worst-looking girls to pair with her. Naturally, everyone's eyes were on her. The colorful dance was so beautiful that at least Mu Beiluo and Xia Yucheng didn't even blink.

The third person to perform on stage was actually breaking rocks with his chest and splitting bricks with his bare hands. These street scams that Wang Qiye had seen too much of in the past were watched with great interest by his fellow apprentices. They were nothing more than a few changes.

After the performance, the main show began!

Elder Gongsun stood up.

"My fellow disciples, it's time for the annual Demon-Slaying Ceremony. The future of the sect still depends on you, the rising stars."

"Spiritual wine!"

Elder Gongsun raised his palm downwards, and more than a hundred wine glasses flew up. He pressed down with his other palm again, and another jar of spirit wine flew up. The lid of the jar of spirit wine opened automatically, filling all the glasses below.

"Disciples, take the wine."

After Elder Gongsun finished speaking, he pushed his hands forward. The wine glass filled with wine shot downward and landed steadily on the table.

"Thank you, Elder Gongsun."

All the disciples put their hands together and bowed.

After Elder Gongsun sat down cross-legged, he nodded to Elder Liu on his right.

The bearded elder Liu stood up.

"Disciples receive the spiritual fruit"

After saying that, he also raised his palm downwards, and more than a hundred empty plates flew up. He raised his palm downwards again, and a small bamboo basket flew up. The bamboo basket was like pouring beans, and a large pearly pea appeared on each empty plate. Then Elder Liu pushed with both hands, and another plate of spiritual fruit appeared in front of the table of the brothers and junior brothers.

"Thank you, Elder Liu."

All the senior brothers and sisters extended their hands and bowed.

Only then did Elder Liu sit down.

At this time, Elder Gongsun picked up the wine glass in front of him and shouted.

"Let's drink this wine together and celebrate the extermination of the demon!"

Wang Qiye hurriedly followed the crowd, picked up the spirit wine in front of his table, and shouted loudly.

"Celebrate the extermination of demons."

Then he raised his head and drank the cup of spiritual wine brewed by Lingxi Valley in one gulp.

Today's spiritual fruit is called Luo Han Guo. It was carefully cultivated by Qingcao Peak for five years. This kind of spiritual fruit has the effect of strengthening the body.

"All disciples, quickly eat the spiritual fruit and meditate to regulate your breathing."

Wang Qiye saw Li Erhu secretly pour the spiritual wine into a prepared gourd, and then quietly put the spiritual fruit into his arms without saying a word. He flicked the spiritual fruit into the air, caught it with his mouth, and bit it into pieces in just a few bites, but he could no longer taste it.

Soon his body felt like it was on fire, and he felt drunk, but no matter how much he swayed his head, he just couldn't fall down. He couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the "Green Bamboo Magic Skill". Relying on his body's instincts, Wang Qiye slowly began to absorb the power of the spiritual object.

***

After the Demon-Exorcism Festival, Wang Qiye's cultivation improved, but he was still at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The new year began, the cultivation calendar turned to the year, and Wang Qiye also welcomed his 18th year.

At the Li's Braised Stew Shop in the inner gate, Wang Qiye bought four roasted chickens and braised stews, and packed one separately. He also asked for two spiritual stones of braised vegetarian dishes. The enthusiastic boss Li gave him one and a half kilograms of vegetarian dishes this time. Wang Qiye put all the vegetarian dishes he asked for into the separately packaged roasted chicken and braised stew. This time, with a storage bag, Wang Qiye no longer had to hold one in each hand, and could put them directly into the storage bag. There were also four jars of black scale wheat wine in it. After arranging everything, Wang Qiye walked towards the outer gate.

Passing by the inner gate, Qi Ruilin and Zong Zhenghe were taking a nap. They had obviously just recovered from the demon-killing ceremony.

"cough"

Wang Qiye coughed lightly, and the two of them were startled.

"Oh, Brother Wang, you scared us to death."

Wang Qiye stopped teasing them and took out the packaged roast chicken and handed it to Zong Zhenghe.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother Qiye is the best to us."

The two people's sleepy eyelids suddenly opened wide.

"There is usually no one in this inner gate. Only Senior Brother Qiye often comes and goes to chat with us. Now you are spending money on it."

Qi Ruilin felt embarrassed.

"This time it wasn't a 9-year-old junior sister who gave it to you, so why are you still being shy?"

Wang Qiye joked.

Qi Ruilin kicked, and Wang Qiye jumped up to dodge. When he landed, he was three steps away from the inner door. Wang Qiye waved without turning his head.

"See you!"

"Brother Qiye, take care."

Arriving at Li Erhu's residence, Wang Qiye pushed the door open and walked in. There were already some dishes from the canteen on the table. Wang Qiye took out some hard dishes from the storage bag, and Mu Beiluo helped to untie the rope of the pottery jar and opened the lid. Taking advantage of this time, Wang Qiye also took out two jars of wine from the storage bag.

"Why are you sad? It's not like we're parting forever."

Wang Qiye broke the seal of a jar of wine and opened the lid. The aroma of wine and the aroma of brine repeatedly competed in the room. After filling up the four empty bowls, Wang Qiye put down the jar of wine.

"Come on, drink. Li Erhu is going for happiness. You two should bless him instead of looking sad. Bring me all the wine."

The four large bowls collided with each other, and the four of them drank it all in one gulp.

"Pour the wine. You're drunk after drinking one bowl?"

Wang Qiye kicked Xia Yucheng under the table, and the boy wiped the tears from his eyes. He stood up, picked up the wine jar, and refilled the four large bowls.

Li Erhu picked up the chopsticks and was the first to move. He picked up a chicken leg and put it in his mouth.

"Eat some vegetables. This chicken leg is so delicious."

The two young men took a bite and, tempted by the delicious food and wine, felt less sad.

Maybe it was because he had too many experiences in the past than those present, or maybe it was because he had been in a daze for a few years and didn't remember anything. Wang Qiye felt a little strange and familiar with Li Erhu, but he didn't feel too sad.

"Come on, let's wish Li Erhu a speedy marriage!"

Wang Qiye shouted a toast, and the two young men finally put aside their sorrow and raised the bowls in front of them together.

"Done!"

Wang Qiye swallowed the food in a few mouthfuls, put down the empty bowl, picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of the braised dish, gobbled it up, then picked up a chicken wing and started to gnaw on it.

This time, without Wang Qiye's instructions, Xia Yucheng finished drinking and picked up the wine jar next to him and filled it up for the four people.

"When are you going to leave?"

Wang Qiye finished eating the chicken wings in his hand and took a bite of the vegetarian dish.

"We will set off tomorrow afternoon. Ji Rulanxue, I, and someone from the Bronze Building are just on the way, so the three of us will form a group. After we separate in Chi Country, we will head straight to Yuyi Country."

Li Erhu lowered his head and bit a piece of chicken neck without raising his head.

"Okay then, we'll see you off at the sect gate tomorrow."

Wang Qiye picked up the bowl again.

The two young men quickly picked them up, and Li Erhu also picked up the big bowl, and the four of them clinked their glasses together again.

The four of them toasted each other, and Wang Qiye was the first to fall.

"Brother Qiye, I can't beat you, but I can't drink more than you? Hehehe, get up and drink another bowl."

***

The next day, the black-hearted Elder Hai still did not let Wang Qiye go. After torturing him, he threw him on a big rock in the martial arts field.

Mu Beiluo and Zong Zhenghe woke him up, and Wang Qiye then jumped off the big rock, stretched, released a water ball spell, and washed his face.

"Where's Li Erhu?"

"Waiting under the archway."

"Let's go."

He led the way and met Li Erhu under the outer gate archway. The four of them walked towards the Yunzhou ferry at the foot of the mountain.

Including the time in the secret realm, this was Wang Qiye's second time leaving Qingzhu Peak. Wang Qiye transferred 4 contribution points to the ferryman, and the cloud boat rose from the ground after the hour, until it rose above the clouds and flew towards the gate of Lingxi Valley.

After flying for two hours, the two young men were amazed again and again, and only then did they realize the power of Lingxi Valley.

Wang Qiye laughed secretly in his heart, if I let you ride on that blue bird once, you would wait for its tail to fly to the sky.

The boat stopped at the mountain gate, and the four of them walked down. It was unknown how long the memorial arch had stood, and it took three people to hug the stone pillar. The mottled old stone slabs stretched from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then into the clouds, with no end in sight. The three words "Yunxi Valley" were similar to the style of the Shinto platform.

Because they had been looking for Wang Qiye for a long time, the four of them were the last to arrive, but no one said much.

In a trance, Wang Qiye saw a girl in a white dress and white shirt, about 19 years old. He hadn't seen her for six years. Her original twin ponytails were gone, and her hair was casually draped behind her head. She only looked one-third like Lan Lingxin back then.

The girl nodded at Wang Qiye.

Wang Qiye also nodded at her.

I had imagined thousands of ways to meet, but now that we meet again, I have nothing to say. Wang Qiye's heart was calm, and there was no Qi Lian.

A man she had never seen before took the leaves off Lan Lingxin's shoulders. Seeing their loving appearance, Wang Qiye turned his head, walked up to Li Erhu and hugged him, then took out a small package from his storage bag, which contained 10 spiritual stones, and stuffed it into his hand.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Ah."

Wang Qiye made way, and Mu Beiluo stepped forward and hugged Li Erhu.

Wang Qiye came in front of Ji Rulanxue and opened his arms.

"Senior sister, long time no see."

"Junior brother, long time no see."

The two of them hugged each other briefly, and Wang Qiye took out another prepared package, which also contained 10 spirit stones, and stuffed it into Ji Rulanxue's hand.

"Take care of yourself."

Ji Rulanxue nodded slightly.

Wang Qiye didn't recognize the other person, so he didn't go forward. Everyone present went forward one by one to say goodbye to their friends.

Watching the three people disappear on the mountain path, Wang Qiye looked up at the three elegant words "Lingxi Valley". Is immortality really important?
