I'm not a psychopath!

Chapter 205: Seeking the Immortal Monument

As soon as he showed up, some sharp-eyed people recognized his identity.

The news spread quickly like the tide. For a moment, cheers rang out from the crowd coming from all directions. They waved their arms and shouted Jiang Qing's name excitedly.

"Jiang Qing! Jiang Qing is back!"

“The hero has returned!”

The guards on the city wall also raised their weapons in salute, their eyes full of respect and gratitude, as if they were welcoming the arrival of a savior.

Jiang Qing walked into the city with a confused look on his face.

what's the situation?
Just because Frost Bluff City was liberated?
He originally planned to go to the Xu family in a low-key manner, but he did not expect to receive such a grand welcome.

However, before he had time to adjust to the sudden noise, a familiar and urgent voice penetrated the crowd and went directly into his ears.

"Jiang Qing! You're finally back!"

Xu Tianchuan, the head of the Xu family.

A middle-aged man was hurriedly squeezing through the crowd, his face full of worry and expectation, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

When he saw Jiang Qing standing in front of him safe and sound, Xu Tianchuan felt relieved and quickly stepped forward and held Jiang Qing's arm tightly.

"Do you know that the entire Jubei City is worried about you? It's great that you can come back." Xu Tianchuan's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was overwhelmed with emotions and could hardly suppress them.

Jiang Qing: “???”

I'm not your son. What medicine did I take wrong?
"Well, do you need a father?" Xu Tianchuan's voice suddenly came out.

Jiang Qing was stunned.

The others were also stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, staring at Xu Tianchuan.

Xu Tianchuan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained, "Well... that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you have made a great contribution in taking over Frost Cliff City this time. If it weren't for you, Frost Cliff City would have been in danger this time.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

By then, the situation in the entire northern theater will become extremely difficult, and the Xu family will probably be suppressed if they fight at a disadvantage. After all, there have always been many people eyeing this position.

Seeing all these things, I feel that your contribution is so great. And to be honest, when the old man sent Beichuan, he had already put the fate of the Xu family on you.

And you are still in the growth stage and need help, so I want to strengthen the bond between us.

Beichuan is your disciple and I am your adoptive father.

how is it? "

Jiang Qing's eyelids twitched. He was the adopted son of the head of the Xu family. You know, Xu Xingguang could run rampant in the martial arts world just with this identity.

If he also had this identity, it would indeed be a lot more convenient. Moreover, Xu Tianchuan's proposal did make Jiang Qing feel a little unexpectedly warm.

Although he did not really need a godfather, Xu Tianchuan's move was undoubtedly a recognition of his achievements and a respect for him.

"This..." Jiang Qing pondered for a while, his eyes sweeping across the expectant faces around him.

He knew that Xu Tianchuan's proposal was not only an affirmation of him personally, but also an investment in the future of the Xu family and Jubei City.

"Master Xu, I appreciate your kindness." Jiang Qing took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "But, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be your adopted son.

I am not from the Xu family, and I don't want to use anyone's reputation to do anything. Regarding the matter of Frost Cliff City, I just did my duty as a cultivator."

Hearing this answer, Xu Tianchuan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he soon returned to normal, smiled and patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder:

"Well, you are an independent person, so my concern is unnecessary.

However, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, the Xu family will always be your solid backing."

When the surrounding people and soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but admire Jiang Qing's demeanor even more.

They originally thought that Jiang Qing would gladly accept such an honor, but he humbly and politely refused. This attitude of not pursuing fame and fortune is even more respectable.

Jiang Qing nodded to the people around him, then turned around and continued walking into the city. He understood in his heart that the real reliance is not the status given by others, but one's own growing strength and unremitting courage.

A few days later, a grand apprenticeship ceremony was held in Jubei City.

Inside and outside the Xu family, whether family members or ordinary people in the city, everyone knows that there will be a historic moment today - Xu Beichuan will officially become Jiang Qing's apprentice.

The early morning sun shone through the clouds onto the Xu family's martial arts training ground. Countless spectators had already gathered there. They sat around the sidelines, talking among themselves and looking forward to the ceremony that was about to begin.

Without exception, all members of the Xu family were dressed in their best attire, looking solemn and proud.

It seems that in their hearts, it is the supreme honor for a family to form an alliance with a hero.

Jiang Qing was wearing a simple black outfit, standing in the center of the field with a calm expression.

These people from the Xu family... no wonder they are so enthusiastic, it turns out there is another reason.

After arriving in Jubei City yesterday, the Xu family quickly decided to hold a ceremony to pay homage to their teacher early the next morning.

They stayed there first.

It was also at this time that they finally met Luo Shui, who had been forced to retreat and seek reinforcements during the previous battle between Frost Cliff City and the Black Water Bear due to injuries.

After meeting, the two sides talked a lot.

Jiang Qing and others informed Luo Shui of the news about the boundary wall in the north of the northern border, which made Luo Shui's eyes light up, and his hands clenched into fists and trembled when he felt danger.

After hearing the end, all I felt was pity.

She was afraid that she would never see such scenery in her lifetime, but she also told Jiang Qing a piece of information that surprised him.
.
The master of the ninth peak of Ziyun Sect, Fairy Qingsu, successfully survived the heavenly tribulation and became one of the strongest!
Qing Su was clearly injured, and he had said before that his foundation in Taoism had been damaged. I don't know how he could have broken through so quickly and become the strongest person.

But Qingsu is his master.

Now it is not difficult to explain why the Xu family’s attitude towards him is so ambiguous.

Standing on Jiang Qing's side meant standing directly with the two most powerful men of Ziyun Sect, as well as the National Master... If the battle of luck went smoothly, this would be another one.

These are already three supreme beings, plus the old man from his Xu family… Although it is unknown how long the old man can last, the number of supreme beings has reached a terrifying four.

And there is Jiang Qing himself.

When he grows up...

Winning over Jiang Qing is equivalent to embracing half of the human race. Before, they were skeptical about the old man's decision. After all, they couldn't understand the illusory destiny.

However, the strongest combat force of the human race is the strongest, and counting the strongest is not a technical job.

Now everyone understood.

After thinking about this, Jiang Qing shook his head. It turned out that he was moved for nothing yesterday. He thought it was the reputation he had earned from his outstanding military achievements.

It turned out that I had been eating the master's gigolo without realizing it, but I have to say, it's really nice to have someone to eat your gigolo.

On the martial arts training ground.

Next to Jiang Qing was Xu Beichuan, who was wearing a gorgeous dress. He looked a little nervous, but his eyes were full of determination and excitement. For him, being able to worship Jiang Qing as his master was also a great honor in his martial arts practice.

Why?

Because Jiang Qing is strong enough, even though the age difference between them is not much, as long as he can learn something, he doesn't care about the status.

As the head of the family, Xu Tianchuan stood aside and presided over the entire ceremony. His voice was loud and clear: "Today, Xu Beichuan, the son of the Xu family, has the honor of becoming a disciple of the hero Jiang Qing and learning martial arts, hoping to better contribute to the family and Jubei City in the future."

As Xu Tianchuan finished speaking, Xu Beichuan knelt down in front of Jiang Qing, holding a cup of tea in both hands, his head lowered almost to the ground: "Disciple Xu Beichuan, I am willing to become a disciple of Teacher Jiang Qing and observe the etiquette of a disciple." "——Wow!!"

The crowd went wild.

I thought it was just a formality to become an apprentice, but in fact it was just an alliance between the forces behind the two people.

Now I see, this looks like a real demon?!
Xu Beichuan has lowered his attitude so much.

Jiang Qing took the teacup and said calmly, "Get up."

His tone did not contain much emotional fluctuation, but it revealed a steady strength.

"From today on, you are my disciple and a registered disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect. I can teach you everything I know without reservation. But remember, martial arts are external things after all. The real strength comes from within."

"... Jiang, Master."

Xu Beichuan scratched his head and asked embarrassedly: "What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know either. I have to say something in this kind of occasion, just to show off." Jiang Qing raised his head at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Xu Beichuan: “…”

Why do I suddenly feel that this master is a little unreliable? Is it any use to regret it now?

[Crazy value +8888 provided by Xu Beichuan]
"Ouch!"

The madness value of the system!
Jiang Qing was secretly surprised. Maybe he had been too serious recently and hadn't done anything crazy, which was why he hadn't earned any points.

I didn't expect that this new apprentice was so capable and could contribute so much right after he arrived.

[Crazy value +9876 provided by Gou Dafu]
[The madness value provided by Liu Doudou +1237]
[Crazy value provided by Xu Xingguang +1111]
[Crazy value +8866 provided by Zhang Shizi]
[from...]
When Jiang Qing spoke just now, he deliberately raised his voice, which resulted in almost everyone at the scene hearing it.

Most normal people would think that it is crazy to say such things on such an important occasion.

It's normal to whisper, or criticize in your heart, or talk behind someone's back, but when you say it on the spot, there are only two words to describe it: awesome.

"It seems that most of the people who provide emotional value are strangers." Jiang Qing touched his chin, "There is also Xu Xingguang... What is this little girl surprised about?"

Then he looked at his teammates.

"Forget it, these people are useless now. They can't provide me with any emotional value." Jiang Qing jokingly complained in his heart.

Three kneelings and seven kowtows.

This is a recognized rule in the Southern Xinjiang immortal cultivation world. Only biological parents are worthy of nine kowtows.

The audience around held their breath at this moment, witnessing the solemnity and sacredness of this moment.

The eyes of the warriors of the younger generation were full of envy and yearning. They longed to become Jiang Qing's disciples like Xu Beichuan one day.

Xu Tianchuan showed a satisfied smile on his face and announced loudly: "From now on, Xu Beichuan is Teacher Jiang Qing's first disciple!"

Everyone present cheered and applauded loudly...

With the successful conclusion of the apprenticeship ceremony, Jiang Qing and his team temporarily said goodbye to the Xu family. Without a moment's delay, they boarded the flying boat and set off for the Wuji Sea.

With a soft whistle, the flying boat slowly rose into the air and began to shuttle between layers of clouds, heading towards the distant destination.

Jubei City is in the northernmost part, and Wuji Sea is in the south, spanning several continents in between.

Therefore, everyone probably had to spend the past half month on this flying boat.

The sails on the boat fluttered gently in the wind, which was a rare leisure time. Especially after gradually leaving the Northern Territory, the temperature returned to normal.

They sat around on the deck of the flying boat with a few cushions and began a relaxed conversation.

"Look at this, 'The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law', has anyone of you written down the next part?" Luo Hua took out a jade slip, on which was engraved the notes he hastily scribbled in front of the stone tablet.

There is no name monument outside the boundary.

"Well, I have some here. 'The mind moves as the will moves, and the intention changes as the mind changes.' It seems to describe a state of spiritual practice?" Shen Chengxian took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his arms and said as he flipped through them.

Baili Ye beside him was not to be outdone, and recited a passage from his memory: "'Only when one is untainted by the mundane world can one reveal one's true self', I remember this sentence very clearly, as for the rest..."

"You won't forget it, will you?!"

"No, no, let me look for it. I remember writing it down. It should be in the storage bag."

Jiang Qingze listened quietly to his teammates' discussion. Soon Baili Ye also took out his manuscript. He couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Except Senior Sister Luo Shui did not go.

He was the only one who hadn't taken out the manuscript. The problem was that he seemed to have almost forgotten it...

Even the wisest man can make mistakes.

wrong!

"Hehe, Xiaosui, you come first and see what your part is?" Jiang Qing said shamelessly.

Qin Xiaosui, this little cutie, only knows how to eat and play. He must have forgotten all about this a long time ago.

"Oh."

After hearing Jiang Qing's words, Qin Xiaosui recited it on the spot.

Jiang Qing: “???”

"Xiao Sui, when did you become so awesome?"

Qin Xiaosui looked at Jiang Qing with a puzzled look, "Because the time I play is saved after completing the tasks.

It was like this when I was in Ziyun Sect before."

Jiang Qing: “???”

Why do I feel like you are playing all day long?
and many more!

Doesn't this mean that this guy learns things at an incredibly fast speed?
No wonder he never saw her practicing in Ziyun Sect, but her cultivation level was increasing rapidly, even faster than his own.

"Actually, that inscription... doesn't seem to be very difficult, but everyone said that we should share it, so Xiao Suizhi memorized a part of it."

Everyone: "..."

"That's enough." Luo Hua interrupted, "Junior Brother Jiang, hurry up and take out your share, I can't wait!"

Jiang Qing's scalp felt numb.

Fortunately, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness, reading obscure bytes.

Yin Dragon Soul!
Jiang Qing immediately relayed it.

As time goes by, the fragmented texts gradually connect together, as if a complex and exquisite picture puzzle is slowly revealing its full picture.

Not long after, a complete inscription appeared clearly before everyone's eyes, and every word seemed to contain infinite power and profound meaning.

"Looking for the Immortal Monument."

Jiang Qing whispered these three words, with a hint of shock and awe in his eyes.

"The hundred-word inscription holds the key to becoming an immortal. Just a hundred words reveal all the secrets of heaven..." The team members recited the inscription, their voices echoing above the flying boat, filled with a desire to explore the unknown and a yearning for the extraordinary realm.
