One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 33: Fellow Disciple

The ritual and the summons made Zhao Fuyun feel hot inside.

Today, Chi Jun was invited into the temple. The divine power and fire that descended from the darkness was particularly strong. He did not open the temple door immediately, but sat there to concentrate his thoughts.

He knew very well that at this time, if he could take some pills to nourish the yin blood in his body and suppress the yang fire, he would feel much more comfortable.

Alternatively, you can draw the corresponding "Xuanshui Fu" and dissolve it in water and drink it, which will also be effective.

However, Zhao Fuyun did not have the corresponding elixir, nor did he draw the "Xuanshui Talisman" to dissolve in water and drink it. Instead, he suppressed the surging fire in his body by focusing his thoughts and calming his mind.

The heart controls the spirit and fire, is the monarch, and commands everything. His thoughts sink into his heart, and restraining his thoughts in his heart is like putting a rein on his restless heart.

As the saying goes, the mind is like a monkey, never still for a moment. The process of spiritual practice is to tame the monkey mind.

He had no elixir to help him, so he could only rely on hard work to practice.

Many people know the great truth that the fruits of the Tao are all there in the distance. However, many people only see the distance and ignore the road under their feet. They must take solid steps one by one.

Zhao Fuyun has been practicing so hard over the years, so he is able to keep up with the many people who have the resources to practice, and his foundation can be said to be the most solid.

Every time you break through your limits, you can then control them again. This is practice.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles.

There were many people watching outside, but the temple door never opened. Everyone wanted to see what was going on inside, but they couldn't.

It was not until the evening that the temple door opened and Zhao Fuyun walked out. The setting sun fell in front of the temple, and he walked into the sunset, as if merging into one with the sunlight.

Coming to the front of the slope, looking at the foggy river below, after a long time, he thought in his heart what Master Xun said about there being a cave in the river.

He had some doubts in his heart. So many days had passed, and Master Xun said she was going to make some preparations, but she hadn't come back yet. He didn't know where she went to make preparations.

Little did he know that at this moment Xun Lanyin was in Tiandu Mountain, observing an allegation regarding the death of a disciple in Tiandu Mountain.

Some people believe that the death of Xu Yajun, a disciple of the lower courtyard of Tiandu Mountain, on his way to taking office was probably related to the conflicts that had occurred in Tiandu Mountain.

Therefore, the Senate selected people from the foundation-building disciples and formed an investigation team to investigate those who had conflicts with Xu Yajun. However, during the investigation, they found that there were quite a few people who had conflicts with him.

Among them was the conflict between Zhao Fuyun and Xu Yajun. This conflict was caused by the death of Liang Daozi. Probably because Xu Yajun was already dead, the people behind him did not care about Xu Yajun's reputation of killing his fellow disciples.

It was soon discovered that Xu Yajun was so angry that Liang Daozi refused to join him that he killed him in his fishing house on the bank of Yangling River.

The other people who were present at the time had already confessed under interrogation, and under the intimidation of the Mountain King Tiger Talisman, they were simply unable to lie.

However, the few people who had been around Zhao Fuyun all these years and followed him down the mountain to exorcise demons were shocked.

When they learned that Xu Yajun was actually dead, they were extremely shocked. When Liang Daozi died before, they also wanted to investigate in the mountains, but it was like a drop in the ocean, and no one paid any attention to them. But now that Xu Yajun was dead, the foundation-building cultivators from the upper house immediately came to investigate.

They were asked repeatedly: "Did Zhao Fuyun have the idea of killing Xu Yajun? Did he say anything?"

Of course, Zhao Fuyun didn't say anything to them.

They still can't be sure whether it was Zhao Fuyun who killed Xu Yajun.

Moreover, they were not sure whether Zhao Fuyun could kill Xu Yajun.

Just when they had been questioned for a few days under the strong illumination of the Tiger Talisman, the door was suddenly opened.

A cold female voice came in: "Since you have already asked and got the answer, why don't you release the person? What kind of answer do you want?"

Jie Zhenxin, who was presiding over the interrogation in the room, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. His intuition was that the person who killed Xu Yajun must be Zhao Fuyun. However, this Zhao Fuyun had done it so secretly. He wanted to kill someone, but he didn't even tell the people who had followed him for several years, and he didn't even reveal his hatred.

He went out and saw a female cultivator wearing a red crown. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Senior Sister Xun, didn't you leave the mountain to travel? Why are you back?"

Xun Lanyin just glanced at him and said, "Have these people finished asking questions?"

"I've finished asking questions." Jie Zhen didn't dare to say anything more.

"Then are they related to Xu Yajun's death?" Xun Lanyin asked again.

Jie Zhen looked at the other two people in the room and replied, "Not at the moment."

"I've been asking for a few days, what's the current situation?" Xun Lanyin said: "If there are no problems, then it's over. I want to use these people."

"Yes." How could Jie Zhen dare to refuse? When he first started building his foundation and entered the Upper House, Xun Lanyin was a prominent figure in the Upper House. She was very skilled in the art of controlling souls and water. No matter what magic others used, she could deal with it with just this one method.

She has powerful spells and often taunts others after winning. She is someone that no one wants to mess with.

Now he himself has a status in the upper house, but this Senior Sister Xun has entered the Purple Mansion realm and is already a middle-level figure in Tiandu Mountain with a considerable status. It is said that the mountain master once said that if there were more people like Xun Lanyin in Tiandu Mountain, Tiandu Mountain would surely prosper.

Afterwards, all those who had been detained for a few days were released.

Mi Fu, Yang Liuqing, Wen Bo and Wen Xun followed behind Xun Lanyin. They had a lot to say but didn't know how to start.

"Don't leave the mountain recently. Come with me to a place in a few days. I have something for you to do." Xun Lanyin asked without turning her head.

"Yes, Master Xun." The four of them responded, and after Xun Lanyin left, they looked at each other, their eyes full of deep thought.

But everyone knows that no matter how many questions one has in mind, they cannot be discussed at this time.

Xun Lanyin returned to the mountain this time for no other reason than to borrow a set of formation flags. She felt that she might not have enough star stone chess pieces to practice the formation, so she returned to the mountain to borrow some.

Three days later, Xun Lanyin and four people left the mountain. However, this time, they did not ride on Xun Lanyin's magical clouds, but sat on a cloud transformed from a handkerchief and headed towards Wuze County.

Along the way, the four people had mixed feelings. When they knew where they were going, they realized that Master Xun had specially rescued them.

Thinking of how he and his friends behaved when his senior brother left the mountain, he felt extremely ashamed. Soon they arrived at Wuze County, first to the place where Zhao Fuyun had lived before, and Xun Lanyin stepped into the void, and clouds and mist rose under her feet with every step. Her body seemed to be weightless, rising with the wind, and the clouds and mist lifted her up to the sky, and she said, "You can find Zhao Fuyun by yourselves."

"Hey, are you all senior cultivators from Tiandu Mountain?" a voice asked.

Mi Fu saw a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face, dressed in official uniform, and surrounded by several guards with knives on their waists.

"We are the disciples of the lower courtyard of Tiandu Mountain. We come here to look for our senior brother Zhao Fuyun. I wonder if this sir knows where he is?" Mi Fu asked.

Zhu Puyi looked at the four people and felt that each of them had a righteous expression and a unique aura. Although not as good as Zhao Fuyun, they were also rare.

"So I am really the great cultivator from Tiandu Mountain. I am Zhu Puyi, the magistrate of Wuze County. Are you looking for a teacher? Please follow me." Zhu Puyi said.

Four people followed Zhu Puyi.

They found that the county town was very messy, with a foul smell everywhere, and some eerie houses that looked very bad. They were sure that there must be some little ghosts or poisonous insects living in them.

Mi Fu couldn't help but ask, "County Magistrate Zhu, I heard that there are many Yin-raising Gu and corpses in Nanling Prefecture, and this Wuze is even worse."

Zhu Puyi sighed: "That's true, but I guess it will get better in the future."

"Oh, but what did my senior brother do? My senior brother is here alone, is everything okay?" Mi Fu asked.

"The teacher has profound magical powers, so everything is fine. However, if you had come a little earlier, the teacher would have an easier time." Zhu Puyi thought of those days when Zhao Fuyun hid in the yard all day long and didn't even eat a bite of food.

When the four heard this, they felt unhappy.

They knew that this time, wherever the Xuanguang disciples who went down the mountain to teach and guard were, there would be a steady stream of their original fellow disciples coming to help.

They also know that it is not easy to gain a foothold in someone else's place. If they can have the help of their fellow disciples, it will naturally be much easier.

"We came too late and were unable to help our senior brother. We are really ashamed." Mi Fu said.

At this time, the only woman among the four people spoke up: "Sir County Magistrate, can you tell me what happened after my brother came here?"

Zhu Puyi was silent for a moment, and then said, "When the teacher first came, he didn't do anything. But after he helped me get rid of the 'Gu God' that was parasitic in my liver soul, he seemed to have annoyed the people here..."

He didn't know the hidden story, he only knew that after Zhao Fuyun helped him, he was suddenly besieged by the people from Wuze County.

"That night, everyone here gathered outside the yard. Ghosts were lying on the roof, and there were all kinds of poisonous insects, corpse puppets, and it was said that there were also nightmare ghosts surrounding us. I was watching from the wall of my own yard at the time. To be honest, as a county magistrate, I could only watch.

At that time, the courtyard was quiet and no one heard the teacher speak, but the people outside the courtyard were murderous. Monkeys, snakes, corpses, and insects were seen rushing in, and something was crushing the roof.

I thought at the time that the Evangelist might be finished, but then I saw the surging flames, which were endless and blazing for half the night. In the end, those people outside no longer dared to go in, as they were all frightened by the Evangelist's killing! "

“On the second day, the house was full of bugs and corpses. The teacher was so tired that he slept among the corpses of snakes, insects, rats and scorpions. But no one outside dared to break into the house again.” Zhu Puyi sighed.

Although he failed to cultivate, he knew how dangerous that night was.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone crying, "Brother is so clean and hates snakes, insects, rats and other things, but he fell asleep among their corpses. He must be very tired. It would have been great if we were there at that time."

The one who was speaking was Wen Xun. She and Wen Bo were siblings.

She thought that if she and others came here with her senior brother, he would not be left alone without help.

Mi Fu couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Brother is such a kind person, they actually surrounded and killed Senior Brother like this, damn it, are these people still here?"

Having said that, Mi Fu's words were already filled with murderous intent.

Zhu Puyi shook his head and said, "Anyone who dared to enter this courtyard was burned to death by the teacher. These days, the teacher has moved to the Chijun Temple by the river outside the city. We will be there soon."

The four followed Zhu Puyi to the Chijun Temple by the river, climbed up the hillside, and saw Zhao Fuyun standing there looking at the foggy river below.

Zhao Fuyun was wearing a familiar light blue robe, with his hair tied up on top of his head with a wooden hairpin inserted across it.

With a slender figure and an upright posture, he looked down.

The person standing under the shade of the tree was so lonely.

"Brother!"

Wen Xun shouted first, walked up quickly, trotted two steps behind Zhao Fuyun, and stopped.

When Zhao Fuyun heard the voice, he turned around, with a look of surprise on his face at first, then he smiled and said, "Why, is there a mission here at the mountain gate?"

She found that her senior brother's smile was still the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

This made her feel even sadder, and she immediately said, "Brother, we are sorry. We are sorry for you."

After Wen Xun finished speaking, he covered his mouth and sobbed, tears welling up in his eyes.

The others also looked ashamed. Mi Fu said to Zhao Fuyun, "Brother, you can scold us."

"It's okay, Master Zhu, can you please send someone downstairs to buy me two fish? My fellow apprentices are here, and I want to treat them to some fish."

Zhao Fuyun said with a smile.

Zhu Puyi readily agreed and personally took people to buy fish for Zhao Fuyun. He also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange and knew that there might be some misunderstandings between these fellow disciples. It would not be good for him to stay here.

"I bought some kitchen utensils from someone. You came at the right time. We can cook something together. By the way, I have been here for such a long time but have never eaten fish. I heard that the fish here is especially delicious." Zhao Fuyun said with a smile.
