Chapter 366: Demonic Obstacle

Qingyang looked at the tall monk in confusion. He thought for a long time but couldn't remember who he was. He knew only a few monks, and they seemed to have nothing to do with the iron tower monk in front of him. Looking at this figure, it is similar to Pi Yingxiong from the animal taming family. Could it be that Pi Yingxiong's son became a monk here?

The old Taoist Songhe next to him couldn't stand it anymore, coughed, and said, "This is Xuanzhu, the little apprentice of the old monk Kongji."

Xuanzhu? A chubby little monk suddenly appeared in Qingyang's mind, but he didn't overlap with the iron tower monk in front of him. Qingyang didn't understand how the little monk who looked like a little boy turned into such a strong man. He didn't know what he had experienced over the years, and he couldn't find any trace of the original.

Qingyang concealed his embarrassment and said, "It's Xuanzhu. You have changed so much in these years that I didn't recognize you. You are taller than me after not seeing you for a few years."

"Hehe, yes, you have changed a lot too." Xuanzhu said with a silly smile.

Before the two could continue talking, Taoist Songhe suddenly grabbed Qingyang and smacked his lips and said, "My dear disciple, you came back from such a long distance, but you didn't bring me any gifts? Master, I haven't had wine in these years, and my mouth is almost dry."

Qingyang smiled and said, "Just now I heard you say that you cheated that person's money to buy wine. Your life is not so carefree anymore, how can you lack wine?"

Seeing that his disciple didn't talk about business, Taoist Songhe slapped him on the head, then dragged Qingyang and said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry into the house and take out all the good wine you have."

The three entered the side door, Monk Xuanzhu closed the door and went back to report to his master, while Taoist Songhe dragged Qingyang all the way to a small courtyard behind Qinglong Mountain.

After entering the house, Qingyang took out several jars of the latest brewed monkey spirit wine. The two drank while recounting their experiences after they separated for these years. Taoist Songhe was just an ordinary person, and could only drink some of the latest brewed spirit wine. He was worried that there would be problems if the wine was too old.

Such good wine, and the master and apprentice reunited after ten years, the two couldn't help but drink more, drinking and chatting, until dark, Taoist Songhe fell asleep, and even Qingyang got drunk for a rare time, lying beside his master for a night.

The next morning, Monk Xuanzhu came with a one-armed old monk, Master Kongji. Old Monk Kongji was old and lost an arm, so he had not been in charge of things for these years. He was practicing in a small courtyard not far from Taoist Songhe. Yesterday, Xuanzhu told him about Qingyang's return. Old Monk Kongji knew that they had reunited as master and apprentice and had too much to say, so he didn't come to disturb them. It was not until this morning that he came to visit with his apprentice.

Seeing Qingyang, seeing the extraordinary temperament on Qingyang, it seems that he is no different from the Xiping and Xining immortal masters he met in the secret land. Master Kongji couldn't help but sigh: "The trip to the secret land is still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect to meet you ten years later. You have become the immortal master Qingyang."

Qingyang waved his hand and said: "Master Kongji has been friends with my master for decades. He has been taking care of my master all these years. He is also my elder. Don't call him that."

Monk Kongji nodded and said: "Is Qingyang coming back just to see the master this time?"

Qingyang said: "I can't let go of the master. I have been dependent on the master since I was a child. Later, when I encountered the opportunity to cultivate immortals, the master gave him to me, and he continued to live in the secular world. I can't forget, and I can't leave him. I have always dreamed that one day, I can You can continue to live with your master, practice together, and move forward hand in hand on the road of cultivating immortals. "

Master Kongji raised his head and said: "Child, it is human nature not to forget your master, but you are so persistent and can't let go, it's already a demonic obstacle. "

Old Taoist Songhe also said: "Disciple, I have let it go a long time ago. I also copied a copy of the longevity secret. Over the years, Kongji, Xuanzhu and I have tried to practice it, but there was no effect. It can be seen that I don't have the qualifications in this area. Besides, you also said that only when you reach the foundation-building stage can you increase your lifespan. Those who can't reach it will eventually be unable to escape the scope of mortals. You have been practicing for ten years at a young age and are still far from that position. At my age, how can I have any hope? "

"No matter how slim the hope is, you have to try it before you are willing. "Qingyang said.

This time Qingyang brought back the spirit-testing plate just for the obsession in his heart. At this time, he didn't shy away from Monk Kongji and Xuanzhu, and took it out directly to help Old Taoist Songhe test it once.

The result is naturally that he has no spiritual roots. Very few people in the secular world have immortal roots. It is rare for Qingyang to appear among their group of people. Qingyang was unwilling to accept it, and tested the old Taoist Songhe several times, and even tested Monk Kongji and Xuanzhu, but the results were the same.

Master has no spiritual roots, it seems that all the preparations he has made are useless. Now the only thing he can do is to extend Master's life as much as possible, so that he can live a happy life in the future without illness or disaster.

After the test, Qingyang put away the spirit test plate with an unchanged expression, and continued to reminisce with Master Jikong and Monk Xuanzhu, but everyone could feel that Qingyang was forcing a smile. Master Jikong and Xuanzhu were bored and had to say goodbye.

After that, Qingyang lived in the master's courtyard. When he had nothing to do, he would accompany the master for a walk. When he was craving for wine, he would taste the monkey spirit wine with the master. Occasionally, he would ask the old monk Kongji to accompany him. The old monk Kongji had profound Buddhist knowledge, but he was not as rigid as the monk Xuanzhu. He did not resist the spirit wine that Qingyang brought out, and did not care that this was a Buddhist pure land.

During this time, Qingyang stewed a pot of porridge with blood lotus roots and watched the master eat it with his own eyes. Qingyang did not tell the old Taoist Songhe about the details of the blood lotus roots, but only said that it had the effect of prolonging life for the elderly. However, after taking it, the old Taoist Songhe obviously felt that his body was much better. His physical fitness and energy in all aspects seemed to have returned to ten years ago. The elixir was just like this.

Qingyang tried to communicate with the old Taoist Songhe. The space of the Zuixian Hulu could be lived in, and he also raised a spirit monkey in it. He hoped that the old Taoist Songhe could go with him, and he would have no worries from then on. But he was firmly rejected by Taoist Songhe, saying that he had lived a free and easy life all his life, and following Qingyang would mean losing his freedom, just like being in prison.

In fact, Qingyang knew very well that Taoist Songhe's unrestrained nature was only one aspect, and a more important reason was that the master did not want to hold him back and become a burden to his disciple. Taoist Songhe refused in every way, so Qingyang had to give up this plan.
