Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 79 Chen Qingxuan's Entrustment
Chen Qingxuan said: "Yunxi, what is your choice?"

When Nie Yunxi was listening to Chen Qingxuan's story just now, she had already made up her mind. She looked at Zhou Qing who was waiting in the yard and found that he was squatting at the door of Chen Qingxuan, staring at something in a trance.

Although the size of the master's uncle's residence was different from that of their registered disciples, the design was similar. So Nie Yunxi guessed that it should be the same as her residence, with a lacquered black board made of neither stone nor iron, with complex runes engraved on it.

Looking at Zhou Qing's serious look, Nie Yunxi couldn't help but smile, thinking that it seemed that nothing in this world could shake his determination to practice.

Senior Brother’s most persistent thought is to seek immortality, and nothing can shake it.

That affection holds the same position in my heart, so how could I allow it to be shaken?

Nie Yunxi turned around and said, "Uncle Master, please introduce me to Fairy Taixu."

Chen Qingxuan said seriously: "You have to think carefully before making a decision."

"Once you decide to embark on this path, you will face the entanglement of emotions for the rest of your life. The higher your cultivation, the stronger and more tormenting your emotions will be, and the longer your life will be."

"This hatred is endless and cannot be endured by human beings."

Nie Yunxi said, "If I'm not mistaken, Master-Uncle also sought help from the Huanqing Sect. If you were to choose again, would you change your mind?"

Chen Qingxuan was startled, then shook his head and said, "You're asking me questions instead."

Nie Yunxi said, "It was my uncle who made me firm in my choice."

"I think that even if I erase that affection, I can't completely get rid of its entanglement. The emptiness in my memory will constantly force me to pursue what it was that made me so unable to live or die, just like my uncle is now."

"I may not be able to feel the pain of that emotion, but I will always feel lost because of its absence."

Seeing Chen Qingxuan's embarrassed expression, Nie Yunxi smiled apologetically and said, "Since that's the case, I might as well just face it head-on, and even let it completely transform into my life, my Dao Heart."

Chen Qingxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "It's a pity that I didn't see it as clearly as you did at the time."

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more."

"The elder of the sect has passed away. I have some mundane affairs to attend to recently. Once everything is finished, I will take you to the Huanqing Sect."

"Before that, you must not practice any more, otherwise there's no guarantee your condition won't worsen."

Nie Yunxi said, "Disciple obeys."

Chen Qingxuan called out, "Zhou Qing, come in."

Zhou Qing stood up, walked into the house quickly, and looked at Nie Yunxi inquiringly.

Nie Yunxi gave him a nice smile but didn't say anything.

Zhou Qing saw a clear and resolute expression in her smile. He was very familiar with this expression. Every time he sat in silence to clear his mind, he would become clearer and more resolute than before.

This is a mental state that comes naturally when you understand your own state of mind and have a determined mind.

Zhou Qing was surprised and said, "Master-uncle is really amazing. The effect of a conversation is so good."

"Junior sister, how do you deal with your problem?"

Nie Yunxi then roughly recounted the conversation between the two of them just now.

Zhou Qing shook his head and smiled, "As a senior apprentice, what important matter would require me to avoid? It turns out to be nothing more than this."

Chen Qingxuan said, "I was just afraid that your presence would affect her resolve, so I asked you to step aside. As for the content of the conversation, there's naturally nothing to hide."

Zhou Qing looked at Nie Yunxi and said, "That's fine. You go to Huanqing Sect and cultivate well. When I reach a higher level and am qualified to go out, I will come to see you and introduce you to your fellow disciples."

puff!

Chen Qingxuan couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Qing looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Master, why are you laughing?"

Chen Qingxuan shook his head and said, "Nothing."

This girl's deep affection was in vain.

If other men were in this position, they would inevitably feel sad and worried about the departure of such an affectionate and affectionate beauty, even if they were not moved. However, Zhou Qing seemed to feel nothing at all.

He didn't look like someone who would be sentimental.

Zhou Qing said: "Uncle Master, since everything is fine, we will take our leave now."

After saying that, he was about to take Nie Yunxi away.

Chen Qingxuan said: "Don't leave yet, I have something to ask of you."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Why use the word 'please'? It seems so distant."

Chen Qingxuan said: "It's really a bit unreasonable to ask such a thing."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Chen Qingxuan said, "An elder of the sect has passed away. The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall will soon issue a mission to go to the Living Dead Cliff and clean up the elder's cave."

"I hope you can take on the task and go see someone for me."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "So, my uncle wants me to go see Uncle Mu Zhuosha."

Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "She has been in the Cliff of the Living Dead for more than ten years and there has been no news. I really want to know how she is doing now." Zhou Qing asked doubtfully, "Can't Master Uncle apply to go in and visit her?"

Chen Qingxuan laughed and said, "If you can visit as you please, would it still be called a closed-door retreat?"

"Furthermore, the retreat area contains a field created by the agitated energy of the retreating elders. Outsiders entering will easily trigger a reaction. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the reaction. Therefore, the task of clearing the Living Dead Cliff has always been assigned to you, the registered disciples."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "I will take over the task when the time comes. Uncle Master, do you have anything for me to convey?"

Chen Qingxuan's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "I don't have anything to tell you, and you don't have to talk to her. Just look at her current appearance and then tell me."

"The cave where she's in seclusion is at the very end of the corridor. Outside the cave, there's a deep cut. When you go to see her, don't go past the cut. Remember, remember!"

Zhou Qing saw that he was serious and nodded, "Disciple, please remember this."

After saying this, he said goodbye to Chen Qingxuan and left Qingyun Mountain with Nie Yunxi.

Returning to the foot of Ziyun Mountain, Zhou Qing looked at the fork in the road leading to Nie Yunxi's villa and said, "Goodbye."

Nie Yunxi was in no hurry to leave, and asked, "Brother, do you have anything else to say before I go to Huanqing Sect?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's still early."

Nie Yunxi's mouth drooped, and he said, "Does it have to be at the last minute to tell me?"

"When I was at home, I read those vernacular novels. The hero and heroine had nothing to say to each other during the day, but they would talk endlessly when they parted ways. However, I found that time was short and there was no time for them to express their feelings."

"I don't want to follow such a cliché. I would rather leave secretly and never let you know. So if you have anything to say now, please tell me."

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "There's more to life than just love. Love is illusory and fleeting. Just how many years can the love between those so-called happily married couples in the secular world last?"

"Some things can last a long time. We are all cultivators, and our lifespans can be very long. Even if we are not companions, we can still look at each other and support each other. This kind of emotion will not fade even after hundreds of years. Isn't it better than a short-lived love?"

"Go to the Huanqing Sect and practice hard. The road to immortality is long, and I hope you can walk for a long time."

After saying that, he bowed to Nie Yunxi, turned around and walked up the mountain, and soon disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Nie Yunxi had not heard a single tender word from his senior brother until now, and could not help but feel disappointed.

She walked towards home in a daze, and couldn't help thinking on the way that he knew clearly that I would go to the Illusionary Love Sect in the future to practice the way of love, and that I would never be able to get rid of the entanglements of love in my life, but he advised me that love is illusory and short-lived.

Does this mean that he is deceiving himself and deliberately avoiding his true thoughts?

It’s a pity that she probably couldn’t confirm this from her senior brother.

Entrusted by Chen Qingxuan, Zhou Qing always paid attention to the tasks of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

The next morning, he indeed saw the task of going to the Cliff of the Living Dead to clean up the retreat cave.

After taking on the task, the next day, he headed straight to the Cliff of the Dead in the morning.

The Cliff of the Living Dead is located to the south of the main peak of Qingyun Mountain. It is a steep cliff that seems to be cut by a knife. The retreat cave is on the cliff, and there are stairs that lead down from the top of the cliff to the cave.

Zhou Qing went straight to the top of the cliff and found that two people were already waiting there.

One of them was wearing a coarse Taoist robe. He was Xu Jingfeng, the head of the Chuan Gong Hall. The other one was Fang Yuhe.

This surprised Zhou Qing a little.

The mission at the Cliff of the Dead has always been something others have tried to avoid, but Fang Yuhe actually took it on his own initiative.

But after not seeing him for two or three days, Fang Yuhe seemed to have completely changed.

In the past, Fang Yuhe had the elegant demeanor of a nobleman. He was always well-dressed and took care of his appearance meticulously.

But now, Fang Yuhe still had Lin Hongyu's blood stains on his clothes, and even the Qingyun Sect Taoist robe that could remove dust could not remove the dirt.

Zhou Qing wasn't sure whether Fang Yuhe had intentionally turned off the dust removal function to retain the blood stains.

His hair was a little messy, and there was a thick stubble on his chin.

This once elegant gentleman now looks so dispirited.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh.

I knew that love would only get in the way.

Zhou Qing thought as he bowed to Sect Master Xu Jingfeng.

Xu Jingfeng nodded to the two of them, then took out a few pieces of talisman paper from his arms and handed them to them, saying, "Use these talismans to cleanse."

Seeing Zhou Qing's puzzled expression, Xu Jingfeng said, "If you have any questions, go ask Yuhe. He knows the details."

After saying that, he soared into the sky and flew towards the Transmission Hall.

Zhou Qing looked at the three talismans in his hand, then looked at Fang Yuhe inquiringly, indicating that he should explain.

Fang Yuhe walked down the stairs beside him, saying, "Every cave has the aura of the elders in seclusion. These auras are getting thicker and thicker, and will have an adverse effect on the elders who come in to retreat later."

“So whenever an elder in seclusion passes away, the sect will send people away to dispel the aura.”
