Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

She had never heard of using the sound of heartbeat to forcibly wake up the soul and then resonate with it!

How could a wild person be this wild?!

Ning Xianzhi looked at the ancient celestial fox. Even though their positions were somewhat conflicting over the matter of "stealing a child," she couldn't help but ask:

"Senior Tianhu, could the physical refinement of the ancient times really be so brutal? Has so much inheritance been lost from ancient times to the present?"

The Fox Goddess wanted to learn from Chu Wuji of Jiangjun Mountain and brag about herself. She could also suppress Ning Xianzhi's arrogance and let her know which mother could teach him more and give him more nutrition.

However, the fox girl did not want to take away Chu Wuji's credit, so she said frankly:

"Although the key to the heartbeat sound was inseparable from my reminder, the credit goes to the young master himself. I didn't help much."

Ning Xianzhi found some comfort. It turned out that Chu Wuzhi had accidentally found a way by force.

Since the topic had changed, Ning Xianzhi took the opportunity to talk about something else, putting aside the matter of imparting magical powers to each other.

She said, "Wu Ji, please return to the White Snake Temple in a while. Qingying will accompany you to gain some experience and knowledge. Her cultivation speed is very fast, but her experience can no longer keep up with her cultivation."

The battles between powerful monsters like Bai Sujin were a very valuable experience for Yun Qingying. Even just watching from afar could bring her considerable insights.

It is not enough to just learn magic skills, you also need to know how to use them, and more importantly, you need to know how your predecessors used them.

Not to mention Yun Qingying, Ning Xianzhi would secretly follow over to confirm the situation there - mainly because he was afraid that Bai Sujin would run away with Chu Wuzhi and never come back.

Chu Wuji didn't mind having an extra companion. He worriedly asked, "Isn't Qingying an immortal cultivator? Would she be a little sensitive about her identity?"

Ning Xianzhi nodded gently: "It is a bit inappropriate, but Qingying's reputation is not yet known, so just hide it a little."

Chu Wuji had an idea and asked tentatively, "Then Master, can you let the Heavenly Fox Lady hide in Qingying's body temporarily? Just for this trip, and by the way, Qingying can also disguise herself as a demon and have an extra pair of fox ears."

Yun Qingying's cultivation foundation has gradually stabilized and will not be affected by the Heavenly Fox Goddess, but she still has to seek Ning Xianzhi's opinion to avoid conflict.

If you can agree to it, you can save the trouble of looking for passers-by on the way.

The Fox Goddess added, "My stay here is not in vain. I can teach her a spell to protect her mind and resist sneak attacks like charms. It won't be some common little spell. From now on, she won't have to fear the tricks of the demon monks."

Yun Qingying looked embarrassed when the last humiliation was mentioned, but she knew very well that it was the fact and would not avoid it.

Ning Xianzhi didn't want to let the female fox get what she wanted, but she wasn't the type to get in the way. She nodded and said,

"Yes, this is Qingying's fate. As her master, I cannot block my disciple's opportunity. As long as Senior Tianhu doesn't tamper with her spiritual veins, it will be fine."

If the Fox Goddess really wanted to do something, why would she do it secretly?

Chu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. The "accommodation" problem of the Sky Fox Queen on this trip was also solved. She didn't have to worry about finding someone on the road.

In this case, has Yun Qingying also become an alternative "mount" of the Sky Fox Goddess?

Chapter 223: Retracing the old path

The process of Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying teaching each other was not very complicated. They first looked at the diagrams, shared their understanding, and then performed it once to demonstrate it in practice.

This is actually similar to the practice of immortal disciples. They are all led by the master, and the practice depends on themselves. The greatest help that a disciple can get is the timely guidance of the master and the various resources that the master can mobilize.

As for whether one can truly comprehend it, it depends on the disciple's comprehension and effort. Master cannot help in this regard. If one cannot comprehend it, he cannot comprehend it.

For example, when Goddess Tianhu helped Princess Jing'an and her daughter to "train", at best she built their bodies so that they could breathe on their own. But when it came to skills like magic and supernatural powers, if they couldn't comprehend them on their own, Goddess Tianhu would have no way to help them.

The Heavenly Chapter of the Yin Fu Jing requires the use of the mighty power of the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the clouds, and the thunder, which is very consistent with the Shenxiao Sect which takes thunder as its core.

When Yun Qingying performed this technique, it was like thunder and lightning, transforming into murderous sword blades in the sky. Even though she was just a beginner, her power could not be underestimated.

But this puzzled Chu Wuji, and he thought depressedly:

"I can easily perform the Earth Chapter, thanks to the benefits of the mountain veins. If I resonated with a river, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to perform it smoothly. So how do I perform the Sky Chapter?"

Yun Qingying's progress was relatively smooth. As a serious cultivator, she did not have as many limitations as Chu Wuji. After reading the diagram of the Earth Chapter, she compared the two scriptures with each other and understood them. She was able to initially practice the technique once, but was unable to truly display the magical powers contained therein.

"I haven't yet truly grasped the murderous aura of the earth. I've learned the form, but the inner spirit is far behind."

She muttered to herself, becoming even more curious about Chu Wuzhi's brain. How could it be done in one go?

If the inner murderous aura is not fully comprehended, the power will be much less.

And according to what he said, he first looked at a flawed map of the land, and then before the battle, he took a few glances at the real map and was able to use it directly.

Yun Qingying admired this guy from the bottom of her heart. He learned and applied the skills immediately, and ended the battle with the golden-haired hyena with one decisive blow.

The two studied for a long time and it was time to finish.

Ning Xianzhi had been paying close attention to the two's progress. She commented:

"Qingying, you've basically mastered it. What remains is to slowly comprehend it. The more you use it, the deeper your understanding will be. Don't expect it to be mastered overnight. Wuji has the support of this entire mountain range. Don't take his previous achievements as normal, or you'll lose your balance."

The girl, who was becoming more and more pretty and graceful, ended her meditation and stood up. Her pair of white and tender legs were faintly visible under her skirt. She nodded and said:

"Well, I won't feel unbalanced. I'm happy for my junior brother to have such unique expertise."

"Call me brother." Chu Wuzhi reminded in a low voice, but in fact everyone present could hear it.

"..."

"Change what you said quickly, you made a mistake." Seeing that she was silent, Chu Wuji continued to urge her.

"I'm not happy for him!" Yun Qingying frowned, her slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she did change her words.

Ning Xianzhi smiled, her cool and elegant face radiating stunning charm. She ignored the two apprentices' banter and continued her comments:

"Wu Ji, don't let your slow understanding of the Heavenly Chapter cause you to feel discouraged. You've already gotten started, so all that's left is to take your time. There will always be a time when you can successfully perform it."

Chu Wuji put away his joking expression and nodded to show that he understood. He was indeed not too disappointed or anxious.

He was quite open-minded. In the Lihuo Mountains, his Earth Chapter was functioning smoothly, his killing intent was full, and he didn't care about the Heaven Chapter. But outside the Lihuo Mountains, the Earth Chapter was malfunctioning and difficult to use, and the Heaven Chapter was progressing slowly. Wasn't it the same?

He expressed this thought, and Yun Qingying was speechless: "Is this a broad-minded idea, or is it self-degradation?"

The Sky Fox Lady really liked Chu Wuji's personality. She thought of something and asked Ning Xianzhi:

"Female Immortal over there, isn't there a 'Human Chapter' in the Yin Fu Jing? Why don't you show it to my young master?"

Yun Qingying could answer this question on behalf of her master. She said, "The Human Chapter is about self-cultivation and self-improvement, and does not involve any actual magical powers."

The "Human Chapter" is equivalent to a mantra for clearing the mind. When you feel upset or your thoughts are wandering, you can recite it silently several times to correct your inner heart.

In fact, it is more ordinary than the Heart Purification Mantra. The latter is still a spell that can actually suppress the evil thoughts in the heart, but the "Human Chapter" is just like famous quotes, it is simply a text.

But since the Fox Goddess asked, Yun Qingying responded completely, reciting the entire content of the "Human Chapter" scripture.

Even if it was a scripture that couldn't be more ordinary, Yun Qingying never slacked off or neglected it in the sect. Even if she couldn't understand it, she would recite it until she knew it by heart.

"You're thoughtful. You've put in the effort to recite things that I didn't arrange for you to do." Ning Xianzhi praised.

"When people harbor murderous intent, heaven and earth turn to pieces..." The Sky Fox Goddess repeated one of the lines and sighed, "What a big mouth!"

Yun Qingying said, "The elders of the sect said that this sentence is a warning about the huge impact of human disasters. Immortal cultivators must act with caution. Careless thoughts can cause huge disasters and trap them in cause and effect."

Chu Wuji seemed lost in thought. He muttered to himself, "The heaven and earth are reversed... I'm upside down in the Lihuo Mountains. The mountains and the earth have become the sky above my head. Can I then unleash the killing power of the Heavenly Chapter?"

The three women next to him heard his thoughts and were both amused and confused.

Can it be understood this way?

But they didn't dare to laugh, especially the beautiful master and disciple from the immortal family, who didn't dare to tell lies.

After all, Chu Wuji relied on the sound of his heartbeat to resonate with his innate spirit. If he really stood upside down and used the Tianpian magical power, they would be embarrassed.

At that time, the young mountain god stood upside down on the spot, with his arms firmly supporting the ground and his feet raised to the sky, and began to try to operate the Heavenly Chapter. The earth suddenly trembled slightly. In the mountains and forests after the beginning of spring, the vitality of all things that were in the budding stage suddenly turned into solemn murderous intent.

"Could it be that......?!"

Ning Xianzhi and Yun Qingying's hearts skipped a beat. Is it really that outrageous?

Soon, the strange murderous intent in the mountains dissipated. After Chu Wuji finished his work, he stood up again and shook his head.

"No, this isn't Cang Qiong's murderous intent. It doesn't smell right. It turns out that standing upside down isn't working either."

The immortal master and his disciple felt regretful but also relieved. It seemed that nothing was too counterintuitive.

If Chu Wuji really succeeded in his attempt, all the immortal forces would have to re-examine the upper limit of the potential of physical tempering, and would have to search through their own scripture libraries to find the relevant martial arts books and wipe them out.

After the training in the mountains was over, Ning Xianzhi gave some instructions, reminded Yun Qingying to pay attention to safety, and stuffed a few emergency talismans into her arms, fearing that her own disciple would suffer the slightest bump or scratch.

This attentive attitude is somewhat in contrast to the indifferent and detached temperament that Ning Xianzhi has always maintained!

In order to reassure the female immortal, the Sky Fox Goddess chose to enter Yun Qingying's body in front of her, so as to prevent Ning Xianzhi from worrying after returning. She then turned back to confirm the status of her disciple's spiritual veins.

After being possessed, the cold-faced girl grew a pair of furry white fox ears on her head, which adorned her black hair and added a touch of cuteness and softness.

Yun Qingying suddenly felt something touching her heel. When she looked down, she found it was a fox tail!

She felt a little shy and weird, so she could only hold the hem of her skirt with her hands, trying to cover it up as much as possible.

The voice of the Sky Fox Goddess rang out of nowhere, and she said, "That's about it. Immortal Master Ning can come over and check on the condition of Xiao Qingying's spiritual veins~"

Ning Xianzhi could confirm the condition of her apprentice at a glance. She was no longer worried, nodded in affirmation, and then left.

In the mountains and forests, the snow has just melted, and the place is quiet and peaceful. Only a man and a woman of similar age are left, looking like a perfect couple.

The fox-eared girl with a fluttering white dress and long black hair like a waterfall waited silently for a while. She looked at Chu Wuji with confusion:

"Why haven't you set off yet? Do you have something else to do? Are you going to greet Baihushanjun?"

Chu Wuji dusted off his black warrior robe to remove the dust that had accumulated during meditation. He met Yun Qingying's eyes and said sternly:

"You've become slick and mercenary, and no longer abide by the rules."

"? Why do you say that?" The girl's expression became even more confused. She quickly recalled and didn't find that she had lost her composure in any way during this meeting.

"I called you Senior Sister on the mountain, but you didn't even call me Brother just now. I even reminded you twice!"

Yun Qingying gave this guy a cold look. Seeing how serious he was speaking, she thought it was a big deal!

The girl stared at Chu Wuji, her eyes stern, like a clear pond. She felt wronged by Chu Wuji's words, and her fox ears drooped down. She said reluctantly:

"Brother... just now, Master was here, so even if it wasn't private, we still have to follow the seniority of senior sister and junior brother."

"But we're not in the sect on the mountain anymore. I reminded you twice, but you still don't change your words. Shouldn't you call me 'good brother'?"

"......" Yun Qingying had a very calm expression, but a rare look of disgust was revealed on her face, and her eyes looked at Chu Wuji subtly.

Chu Wuji surrendered, raised his hands to admit his mistake, and apologized: "Okay, don't be angry, I was just joking, I didn't mean to really make you scream."

The girl raised an eyebrow suspiciously and asked, "I'm not planning on that... What are you going to do if I really yell?"

"What can I do? Since you've already called out, I'm sure I'll answer you."

"......At the foot of the mountain, you are only allowed to call me 'brother'. No other titles are allowed!" Yun Qingying emphasized this seriously and did not mention the matter again.

The Fox Goddess listened to the conversation between the two in secret and couldn't help but find it interesting. How could these two kids get along so well when they even had to argue about how to address each other?

*

After returning to the capital, they reorganized themselves briefly and prepared to set off.

Chu Wuzhi also asked Yun Qingying if she wanted to show up at the Yun family at the end of the Spring Festival. Yun Qingying shook her head and refused. Her refusal was very calm. She no longer had any resistance or hostility towards the family, nor did she have any attachment.

The girl feels satisfied and grateful for her current life as a disciple.

The master is very good. My mother has become more cheerful and I have someone to take care of me, but he can be annoying sometimes.

She was so busy cherishing the present that she had no time to worry about other things.

"Why don't you call those two foals back? They can run pretty fast, and their little horns are fun to touch." Aunt Green Snake asked. She missed the horseback riding trip in the mountains before the New Year.

"No matter how fast a horse is, it can't run as fast as you, Auntie. If you can fly, you have to fly. By the way, mother, how do I get to the White Snake Temple?"

Bai Sujin was about to give directions when she suddenly had an idea and said:

"How about we walk a little bit along the road we took to settle in Lihuo Capital? I want to see if there are any changes along the way."

"That's great!" Queen Fox agreed with the suggestion.

She also wanted to know what mountains and rivers Chu Wuji and Bai Sujin had traveled through during their journey. Even if time was limited and she couldn't go back and walk the entire route, it would be good to just take a look at a few sections of the route!

With Chu Wuzhi, a man who is good at talking to himself, no matter where he goes, he will be moved by the scene and talk about his experiences of the past for most of the day.

It's like having one more storyteller to kill time on the road, which is great!

Chu Wuji didn't mind. Anyway, they were traveling faster now and had enough time to take a longer route. He nodded and said:

"That's fine. I still roughly remember how to get there, but once I got into the wild woods, I'd forgotten most of it. Let's just try walking for a bit!"
