Xuanxia

Chapter 225 It’s over
The sun is setting and the clouds are blood red.

There was a raging fire at the Dongxuan Lake and the old Fanyin Temple.

In the light of the fire, there were crowds of people outside the temple.

Yuanwu is dead, the disaster formation has been broken, and the remnants in the Fanyin Temple have been wiped out. This operation can be said to be a great victory, with not many casualties. Except for a few people who were transformed by Jinshui, only a few people died in the final confrontation with Yuanxi.

In addition, there was Zuo Lamei who died silently during the process of breaking the formation...

But although “there are not many casualties”, in fact every person who died also truly had their own life, relatives, friends, and joy.

The crowd was not very happy as they watched the Fanyin Temple collapse bit by bit in the burning. Most people were seriously injured, and they treated each other's injuries and ate simple dry food.

Some people lost their relatives and friends, and they sighed softly with a hint of tears in their voices.

As for those lay disciples, they had already been temporarily taken to Yucha Town by some Wulin Alliance disciples, and their fate would be considered later - Li Qingzi also followed them, as he could somewhat comfort these confused lay disciples.

"Brother Fu, would you like to eat something?"

In the crowd, Hua Wuying came to Fu Qingzhou and handed him a piece of dry food.

Fu Qingzhou sat next to a tree, waved his hands, and lowered his head to fiddle with the big iron box. It seemed that the big iron box was closed very firmly and difficult to open.

Tang Jiao sat beside him, accompanying him quietly.

Hua Wuying sighed softly, "I have already asked just now. Senior Zuo has no children, only a distant nephew who is learning from her...but no one knows where Senior Zuo lives. I am afraid I have to ask Brother Zhao to help find out."

After hearing this, Fu Qingzhou slowly raised his head and smiled at him: "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

Hua Wuying shook his head and sat down beside him: "I invited Senior Zuo here. She passed away, so of course I should be responsible."

"No... You said I found you all."

Fu Qingzhou whispered, "When Zhao Hao finds out where Senior Zuo lives, I will send her ashes back."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Hua Wuying had to change the subject: "So, what is the secret of this iron box?"

"It's enchanted. If you force it open, I'm afraid it will destroy the things inside."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "We can look for the Nebula Chamber of Commerce later, they might have a solution."

This was the result of his joint research with Tang Jiao, and of course the Smoker also gave a few suggestions.

This box is not as simple as he said. It must be subjected to extremely advanced Buddhist techniques. Forcing it open will not only cause damage to the items in the box, but may even cause backlash.

"Brother..." Tang Jiao asked, "Do you want to take him back to the mountain and let Master think of a solution?"

Fu Qingzhou thought for half a second before realizing that the master she was talking about was Qingsongzi.

He shook his head and chuckled, "Forget it. Master closed Langhuan Mountain because he doesn't want to get involved in martial arts anymore. Let him stay there in peace."

"Then why not leave it to me, brother."

Hua Wuying said: "My master is also a powerful person who has opened the fifth level of the cave. Although he is obsessed with swordsmanship, he also understands magic. In addition, there are many extraordinary people in my Wulin Alliance who may be able to help."

Fu Qingzhou thought about it and nodded slightly.

There is really no use for him to keep this thing. It is really troublesome to carry a big iron box every day. It is better to hand it over to the Wulin Alliance.

He pushed the big iron box into Hua Wuying's hands and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Hua."

"I'd like to do the job."

Hua Wuying took the iron box with a smile, then turned his head and glanced at the crowd.

Not far away, Wu Yue and Wu Changfeng, a seriously injured father and son, were huddled in a corner and whispering to each other; Ding Shuanghe was surrounded by a large group of people, who seemed to be very impressed with his performance today and wanted to make friends with him; Qiu Chan had woken up, but her expression was still a little listless, and she sat alone with a cold face, eating dry food.

There are even more people who are bandaging themselves and taking the medicine they carry with them. Some familiar people are massaging each other to relieve pain, some unfamiliar people are sitting together and chatting, and some are comforting their companions who have lost their relatives and friends.

"Brother Fu."

Hua Wuying whispered: "I want to thank you too."

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

"You didn't kill the lay disciples of Fanyin Temple." Hua Wuying smiled and said, "In terms of emotion and reason, they are all considered to be evil people. No one would say anything even if you killed them, but you still spared their lives in the end."

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "What's the big deal? They haven't completely fallen into evil yet, and they don't have the ability to do evil for Fanyin Temple. Many of them were deceived into coming here. Why kill them?"

Hua Wuying smiled and nodded.

As the two of them talked, he looked at the people around him again.

After a moment of silence, he said to Fu Qingzhou: "Brother, since you think they are here because of you, now that the matter has been settled, you should go and say something to them."

"I understand that Senior Zuo's death has dealt you a heavy blow, but we have not only accomplished one great thing. We may have to face the Golden Cicada Temple in the future... These people may become your brothers and sisters in the future."

"They should know you and what kind of person you are." Fu Qingzhou was stunned again, then smiled gently: "Let's not make it so troublesome. I will go and talk to Qiu Chan and the others. As for the others, they should just recognize you as the young leader."

He stood up and walked towards Qiu Chan.

"Brother, I'll go with you!" Tang Jiao immediately smelled something wrong and followed closely.

Fu Qingzhou smiled, did not refuse, and brought her to Qiu Chan.

"coming?"

Qiu Chan spoke before him.

She raised her eyelids slightly and said weakly: "I have done such a great thing for you, and you only came to see me after such a long time? Master is right, all men are not good people."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now and didn't want to talk."

"Pretentious."

Qiu Chan whispered: "A real man should cry when he wants to cry, laugh when he wants to laugh, take revenge when he has a grudge, and do things when he has something to do. Why act so sentimental?"

Fu Qingzhou laughed and said, "You're right. Have a good rest tonight. Let's go to Yucha Town for a drink tomorrow."

Qiu Chan raised a smile and looked at Tang Jiao behind Fu Qingzhou.

There was almost murderous intent in Tang Jiao's eyes.

"I don't dare drink alone with a pervert like you." Qiu Chan pretended not to see it and stretched out her body lazily and charmingly: "Call the others and get drunk."

Fu Qingzhou chuckled and nodded.

At this moment, Ding Shuanghe's voice came from the side: "My benefactor."

Turning around, it was Ding Shuanghe who looked pale and a little tired. When he saw Fu Qingzhou turning around, he immediately bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, benefactor."

Fu Qingzhou quickly reached out to help.

Dante Shuanghe did not shine in the Fanyin Temple today, but at least he was a brave and righteous man. His sword skills were amazing and he made many friends just now. At this moment, they saw the leader suddenly bowing to a young man in the crowd and were stunned.

"Old Ding, what are you doing?"

Fu Qingzhou lowered his voice and said: "You are messing with me!"

Ding Shuanghe raised his head with a smile in his eyes.

"Don't you understand yet?" Qiu Chan beside him smiled softly, "This is all because the Young Alliance Leader is praising you."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and saw Hua Wuying smiling and waving at him not far away.

"What is Brother Hua doing? Does he want me to take his place as the young leader?"

He had no choice but to help Ding Shuanghe up... At this time, Wu Yue and Wu Changfeng, father and son, were also walking slowly towards them, supporting each other.

"Young man, you are not simple."

Wu Yue said with emotion, "Back then, I didn't know your name and wanted to kidnap you to interrogate the treasure. Now I know that heroes emerge from youth... My son Changfeng relied on you to take care of him, and he was able to save his life from Fa Zheng. Now he has grown a lot, and I am finally relieved."

"Now you have made such great contributions to the martial arts world... Compared with you, I have spent the past few decades like a dog. Young man, please accept my respects!"

As he said that, he actually bent his old waist and bowed towards Fu Qingzhou!
Although Wu Changfeng was still coughing, he gave his younger brother Fu a playful wink and bowed.

Fu Qingzhou was shocked and rushed to help him.

If Ding Shuanghe's bow only caused some discussions, the bow between the Wu family father and son was enough to shock and puzzle everyone around them to the extreme!

Who is this young man?

Why does he deserve such respect from a sect leader and a top martial artist?
Could he be the one who hid his name and sneaked into the Fanyin Temple before?

But even so, I don't deserve such a gift!
Fu Qingzhou awkwardly helped Wu Yue to his feet, his eyes sweeping across the puzzled and curious looks around him, feeling helpless.

But...even though he doesn't like to show off in front of others, the feeling of being recognized by others is always great.

In this case, let’s fulfill Brother Hua’s kindness.

"Everyone! Don't worry about who I am. I don't have the energy to speak right now, and you don't have the energy to listen!"

He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Tomorrow evening, in Yucha Town, I will treat you all to a feast with plenty of wine and meat! Then we can drink a bowl of wine and make friends!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter and responded cheerfully.

Tang Jiao smiled secretly, looking at her elder brother's back, her eyes full of admiration.

Qiu Chan sighed: "This guy, I proposed this, but he used it as a favor..."

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled faintly.
