Chapter 76 Majesty
Wang Xiaohu said dejectedly, "Brother Zhou Qing, I'm so useless! Just because someone died, I was scared like this!"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Come on, you are the son of a carpenter, not a general, and you were not born among the dead. What is there to be ashamed of in being afraid of the dead?"

"A cultivator's Dao heart, like his Qi, is honed through practice. You don't think that once you begin practicing, you'll naturally possess a transcendent mindset, do you?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "That being said, they weren't born among the dead, so why aren't they afraid?"

Zhou Qing asked, "Who are the others?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "Everyone is like this. I've been visiting people's villas all morning, and no one seems to be affected by what happened last night."

"I'm the only one so scared."

Wang Xiaohu had a sad face and looked like he was about to cry.

Zhou Qing was surprised and thought to himself, so everyone's mentality is so strong that they are not affected at all when they suddenly encounter a tragedy?
Could it be that there are so many hidden talents that he has not noticed them on a daily basis?

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said, "You went to visit people this morning. What were they doing?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "There are people doing all kinds of things. Some are strolling around, some are reading, and some are planting flowers and plants at home. When I went there, one was fiddling with his flowers and plants."

"Is anyone practicing?"

Wang Xiaohu pondered for a while and said in surprise, "It seems that no one really practices. This is strange, because everyone likes to practice Qi in the morning."

Zhou Qing shook his head and smiled, "They are definitely not unaffected by what happened last night. They are clearly afraid of being laughed at, so they are unwilling to speak out about their fears."

Wang Xiaohu laughed and said, "So I was fooled by them. I feel much better now. It turns out everyone is the same."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "You're much better than them. You expressed your fear, and once you're done with it, you'll feel better. They don't say it out loud, but they keep it in their hearts. If it goes on for long, it's hard to guarantee that they won't get into trouble."

"Xiao Hu, I want to tell you something."

Wang Xiaohu asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Qing said, "Since the sermon ended, we haven't had a gathering in the past few months. Go and tell everyone to gather at my house in the evening. Also, tell the servants down the mountain to prepare some good food and wine. We can have a great time tonight."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "It should have been done long ago!"

"We've often suggested getting together to bond with fellow students, but everyone knows you have a busy schedule and doesn't want to bother you, so no one has ever dared to suggest it to you."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Even if I don't agree to the party, would you still scold me? Why don't you even dare to make a suggestion to me?"

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "Brother Zhou Qing, I feel like you seem to be changing every day since you entered Qingyun Sect. There's an aura around you that I can't describe. When people are around you, they unconsciously feel a little restrained."

"Don't even mention other brothers. Even I often don't dare to speak casually in front of you."

Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, stop gossiping and go."

Wang Xiaohu agreed and ran out. Just as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Brother Zhou Qing, I can notify everyone else, but there's one person you have to go to alone."

Zhou Qing was surprised and said, "Who is he? Can't you invite him?"

"Miss Nie."

Wang Xiaohu said, "I don't know what's wrong with her these past few months. Occasionally, I'd meet her on the street and say hello to her, but she seemed to turn a deaf ear and ignore me."

"If you ask me to go and inform her, I'm afraid I can't even get into her house. I'm afraid you'll have to go there yourself."

Zhou Qing said: "You go inform the others, I will go to Yunxi by myself."

After seeing Wang Xiaohu off, Zhou Qing also walked out of the villa and headed towards Nie Yunxi's villa.

As he walked, he recalled what Wang Xiaohu had just said.

He hadn't thought about the huge change in his temperament.

But if you think about it carefully, there are clues to follow.

First of all, the eldest brother has been in this position for a long time. He is used to taking charge of everyone's affairs, making decisions arbitrarily according to his own will, and giving orders to everyone. He has unconsciously developed a kind of momentum.

In fact, this kind of momentum has a general source, that is, he is convinced that he has extraordinary control over everyone, and he will unconsciously express this confidence in every word and every action. This is momentum.

One of the reasons why Qingyun Sect, and even many other sects in the immortal way, established the position of eldest senior brother was to take advantage of this momentum.

Letting a great man be the eldest brother will make him respected and admired by his younger brothers and sisters. This respect and admiration will accumulate a certain invisible force in the eldest brother. This force can often help the eldest brother overcome his own difficulties, and in turn can also boost the spirits of his younger brothers and sisters, consolidate their will, and strengthen their faith in the Tao.

However, everything has its pros and cons. If the eldest brother encounters a major setback and is unable to recover, his younger brothers and sisters will also be deeply affected.

This is why Chen Qingxuan's fighting spirit was greatly reduced after Mu Zhuosha became possessed by the devil.

In addition to this reason, Zhou Qing believed that his increasingly firm and clear heart of Taoism was also a reason.

The strong and pure will that bursts out from a firm heart of Tao is something that can easily make people feel awe.

Before he knew it, Zhou Qing had arrived outside Nie Yunxi's villa.

Nie Yunxi's villa was located in a plum forest at the foot of the mountain. A clear stream flowed through the forest, creating a tranquil and charming scene. However, Zhou Qing had no interest in appreciating the surrounding scenery.

As soon as he arrived outside Nie Yunxi's courtyard, Zhou Qing felt the chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy in the courtyard. He went to the door to observe and found that there was a thin layer of frost on the door.

It was just the beginning of autumn, and it was far from the time for frost. Besides, it was noon now, and the sun was shining brightly. Even if there was frost, it would not remain until now.

Zhou Qing quickly determined that Nie Yunxi must have encountered trouble inside.

He suddenly remembered that Lin Hongyu had died last night, and he immediately had an ominous premonition.

But he immediately became confused. Lin Hongyu died while trying to break through the third level of Qi Refining, so why did Nie Yunxi get into trouble?

Nie Yunxi has thirteen spiritual roots, which naturally makes her outstanding among all the disciples, but she is still far behind Wei Kuanglai. In addition, she never accepts any tasks and only has monthly spirit stones to use, which makes her cultivation speed much slower.

Even Wei Kuang hadn't reached the limit of the first level of Qi Refining, let alone Nie Yunxi.

Then why did she show a similar state of scattered power as Lin Hongyu did last night?
Zhou Qing was puzzled and thought, now is not the time to delve into it, he should find a way to see if Nie Yunxi can be saved.

It was too late to go to Qingyun Mountain for help, so now I had no choice but to try to break in.

Zhou Qing came to the door, pushed it hard, and found that the restriction of the villa had been opened.

He knocked on the door several times, hoping that Nie Yunxi inside would respond after hearing it, but after waiting for a long time, he still heard no movement from inside.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

The restrictions on the villa can only be lifted by the Qingyun Mountain Transmission Hall. It is too late to rush over to inform them now. With his attainments in formation, it will probably take him a long time to break such a complex formation as the villa's restrictions.

It seems that I have to break it open by force.

Zhou Qing listened carefully to the surrounding sounds for a while, and made sure that there was no one else nearby. Then he used the magnetic field to compress the spiritual energy within a radius of ten feet and thirteen feet.

When the spiritual energy was compressed into a fist-sized ball, he bent his knees and exerted force, then jumped into the air.

The restriction of the villa is like a transparent eggshell, covering the villa along the courtyard wall.

Zhou Qing jumped to the top of the yard, and below him was the transparent restriction.

A dazzling rainbow flashed by, burning a large hole in the restriction.

Zhou Qing fell into the yard through the big hole.

He looked up and found that the restriction was repairing itself, and the hole was repaired within a few breaths.

Zhou Qing didn't have time to think about the operating principles of the villa's ban, and rushed straight into Nie Yunxi's house.

As soon as he entered the house, he felt a biting cold air hitting him, making his hair stand on end.

Nie Yunxi lay prostrate on the floor of the main room.

Zhou Qing went over to check on her and saw that she was still breathing, but her condition was obviously not good.

She didn't know what went wrong when she was practicing. All the hair on her body turned snow-white, her eyes were closed, and crystal frost formed on her eyelashes. Her body kept shivering and she unconsciously let out painful groans from her mouth, but her consciousness seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. No matter how Zhou Qing shouted, there was no response.

Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, Zhou Qing had to use the magnetic field to sense the situation inside her body. He was surprised to find that the spiritual energy in her body had completely changed.

When he was preaching, Zhou Qing taught his fellow students how to circulate qi, and he knew the nature of the vital energy in their bodies very well.

At that time, the spiritual energy in Nie Yunxi's body was definitely not like it is now. It was gloomy, cold, and had a nature of freezing life.

Now her spiritual energy is running wild in her body, completely out of her control. Wherever the spiritual energy flows, it spreads coldness. If it is not restrained soon, Nie Yunxi will be completely frozen and her life will be cut off in no time.

Zhou Qing used a magnetic field to forcibly drag her scattered spiritual energy back into the meridians where it circulated, and then guided the spiritual energy to circulate in the meridians for several weeks.

As the spiritual energy returned to his meridians, Nie Yunxi's mind gradually calmed down.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, shaking off the frost on them, and then she opened her eyes.

Seeing Zhou Qing sitting cross-legged beside her, frowning and looking at her seriously, Nie Yunxi was startled at first, then she came to her senses and said, "It was my senior brother who saved me?"

Zhou Qing said: "Junior sister, do you have something to tell me?"

Nie Yunxi's heart trembled suddenly, but then a thick bitterness faded away, and she said, "Junior sister is dull by nature, and her cultivation went wrong, which disappointed me."

Zhou Qing was puzzled and said, "Why do you always say things that disappoint me or don't disappoint me? When did I ever expect anything from you? Cultivation is something that often makes mistakes. If something goes wrong, just correct it. Why are you so self-pitying and unhappy?"

"Junior sister, do you know why you made such a mistake?"

When it comes to understanding the circulation of Qi, Zhou Qing is more than one level higher than all the registered disciples, but Nie Yunxi's current situation is really beyond his comprehension.

He was also curious about what Nie Yunxi had done to make his spiritual energy become so cold.
