Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

After accumulating experience step by step, one finally faces the tribulation of lightning. After passing through it, the physical body undergoes a transformation and reconstruction. The five elements converge, and the five internal organs are completely in harmony with the five elements with every breath!

When the three flowers converge at the top of the head, the essence, energy, and spirit are refined to their extreme, and one's life and nature are cultivated to the perfect state of a mortal, only one step away from reaching the heavens!

The body without leakage seals off all innate Qi, or life energy, breaking the limits of mortal life.

Qin Qi can live to be five hundred years old without any disasters or illnesses! He is only eighteen years old now, and he has a long time ahead of him!

But what made Qin Qi happiest was that the Seven Star Lamp had successfully extended Fang Dongtian's life, and the hole in his body had been repaired.

He has twelve years to extend his lifespan! That's enough time for him to search for other methods of immortality!

"That kid succeeded, and his cultivation level has even improved as a result. Let's go congratulate him."

The old master smiled as he looked at the successful Qin Qi, and then asked Lu Linglong to find Qin Qi a set of clothes to take with him.

Everyone rushed over, and when they arrived, they saw Qin Qi and the dead Fang Dongtian.

..............................................................................

"This... Master Fang Dongtian... is dead?"

Everyone looked at Qin Qi, then at the dead Fang Dongtian. His chest was not rising and falling, so he must have stopped breathing. They could not feel any Qi in his body.

He must be dead, right?

"Uncle-Master, here are your clothes. I am also very sad that Grandmaster Uncle has passed away, but if he were alive, he would definitely not like us being so sad about this."

"Take care of yourself, Uncle-Master."

Lu Linglong came over with the Taoist robe that Qin Qi used to wear, handed it to Qin Qi, and said some words of comfort.

"It's alright, he's dead, so let's bury him quickly. Hmm, everyone's here, so let's skip the funeral service and just bury him."

Qin Qi changed his clothes, looked at everyone present, and hurriedly prepared to bury Fang Dongtian directly.

"Then, shall we go to that coffin?"

Someone spoke.

“No need. My master was always frugal and thrifty. He’s already dead. These rituals are just worldly shackles. He specifically told me before he died that I didn’t need them.”

"Just find something, roll it up, and bury it."

Qin Qi casually wove a straw mat, rolled it up for Fang Dongtian, and prepared to dig a hole on the spot and bury him directly.

'You brat, just you wait! Wait until nobody's around, then I'll teach you a lesson!'

After being rolled up, Fang Dongtian suddenly opened his eyes, glaring fiercely at Qin Qi, looking as if he wanted to jump out and beat him up.

Just now, after Qin Qi succeeded, he came down and exchanged a few words with Fang Dongtian, and then the Old Celestial Master came over with his men.

Fang Dongtian made a snap decision and immediately lay down to play dead! The fewer people who knew about this fate-defying act, the less danger there would be!

Unknowable, invisible, unbelievable, and the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. In order to protect Qin Qi, he chose to play dead!

"Okay, okay."

No one said anything; it was someone else's master, so of course he had to handle it himself. However, they whispered among themselves.

"Does Master Fang Dongtian have a bad relationship with his disciple?"

"I have a feeling that Master Qin Qi was hoping that Master Fang Dongtian would die. Now he hastily buried him. There must be some grudge between the master and disciple."

"Never mind that. We're just here to show up and join in the fun. We'll say a few words in front of the grave later, that'll be fine."

After Qin Qi buried Fang Dongtian, he used a stone to make a tombstone, and then everyone began to pretend to say goodbye.

It took half a day for everyone to leave Baiyun Temple, leaving only a few close friends.

"Uncle-Master, should we dig out our Grand-Uncle-Master?"

Lu Linglong looked at the grave, which was only covered with a layer of topsoil. Although she was usually a bit dull, she thought she knew Qin Qi quite well.

Qin Qi is not the kind of heartless person. If his grandmaster uncle were really dead, his grandmaster uncle would not be like this.

Based on what her great-grandfather and the old Celestial Master had said, Lu Linglong guessed that her grand-uncle was not dead at all; he was just pretending to be dead!

Please stop calling me "Clever and Intelligent" from now on. Instead, call me "Sherlock Holmes Linglong" or "Detective Kelong"!

"Little brat, don't ask so many questions. Go, go, I'll buy you ice cream later. Go play by yourself."

Qin Qi sent Lu Linglong away. As she left, Lu Linglong pouted unhappily, believing her guess was correct.

But my uncle didn't want me to get involved, so he used those words to brush me off.

After Lu Linglong left, Qin Qi, the Old Celestial Master, Tian Jinzhong, and Lu Jin talked for a long time.

In the end, none of the three touched the grave, and they all left.

...............................................................

That night.

Those guests who had left secretly returned, using various methods to bypass the blockade set up by the Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple.

Then they arrived at Fang Dongtian's tomb and met. All of them were wearing masks and had changed their voices.

"Hmph, it seems I'm not the only one who's curious."

"First, we inexplicably sensed danger, then there was that strange flame, and finally, we were struck by lightning."

"It would be strange if they said nothing happened; it must be related to Fang Dongtian's death."

"Let's dig it up together, and after we've seen it, we'll each rely on our own abilities."

The group reached an agreement in just a few words, and then dug up the grave and found Fang Dongtian's body inside.

After careful examination, they found that he was indeed dead, not faking it, but completely and utterly dead.

"If you want to play dead, then go ahead and die!"

One of the masked men suddenly sprang up, thrusting his knife toward Fang Dongtian's chest. He stopped abruptly just as the knife tip touched his chest.

The others looked at the man as if he were crazy.

"Are you out of your mind? Even if he's faking death, he can't actually stop his heart from beating or his blood from flowing."

"Is it really necessary to conduct this kind of probing? What an idiot."

After making a few sarcastic remarks, those people left one by one, leaving only the person who had been probing awkwardly restoring the soil to its original state before quietly departing.

After they left, Qin Qi and Fang Dongtian began a discussion in the shadows.

"Hey, I never thought your crooked methods would come in handy."

Fang Dongtian looked at his dead self in the pit, which was exactly the same as him, whether it was his figure, his bones, or even his internal organs.

But that was indeed fake; it was an alteration of the corpses of those dead Quanxing demons by Qin Yong.

"Don't worry about whether it's crooked or not, as long as it works. Besides, this isn't crooked or not; it's just a disguise technique with a little bit of life modification."

"We made too much noise a few days ago. Playing dead won't dispel their doubts. They'll only believe us if they see it with their own eyes."

“But that’s not enough. I will spread the word that those strange phenomena were created to defy fate.”

"But the final result was a failure, which is why you died suddenly. This should dispel most people's doubts."

Qin Qi has already started spreading rumors to confuse the public. Fang Dongtian is right about one thing: the fewer people know about defying fate, the fewer people will know about it.

It's like fortune telling; sometimes you have to use vague language to describe the content, because if you speak directly, you'll be revealing a secret.

Then you'll face divine punishment.

Although Qin Qi survived the three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man this time, don't forget that he still used a substitution technique.

Fang Dongtian should have borne those disasters, but he ended up taking his place. So it's better to keep a low profile.

"What did Lao Lu and the Old Celestial Master say before? Did they know about this?"

Fang Dongtian asked.

"No, these two are both old and shrewd. They had their suspicions, but they didn't ask anything."

"He only said, 'It's good that you're alright.'"

Qin Qi didn't tell the Old Master and Lu Jin about this either; sometimes, not knowing is a kind of happiness.

It's rare to be confused.

"Phew, I always thought you were still a child, but today I suddenly realized that you've grown up and have long surpassed me."

“You have gone too far on this path of seeking the truth, so far that there is no one by your side to accompany you.”

“But my disciple, remember, no matter how far you go, I will always be here waiting for you when you turn back.”

"There's nothing more I can do to help you. All I can do is gaze at your retreating figure from afar and silently wish you well in my heart. That's all."

Fang Dongtian looked at Qin Qi, whose familiar face still wore that confident smile. He now truly realized that Qin Qi had grown up.

He suddenly aged a lot, not physically, but mentally.

"Ah."

Qin Qi nodded. On this path of seeking the Dao, perhaps no one could accompany him, but when he looked back, he would definitely not be alone!

There will always be someone waiting for him on this road, watching him, and hoping that he will go further!

"Master, what are you going to do next?"

"I want to wander around. I've lived more than ten years longer, so I'm going to relax properly."

"Sigh, I haven't had a proper rest these past few years because I've been so busy taking care of you. Now that you're all grown up, I don't need to worry about you anymore."

"I plan to spend the rest of my time wandering around by myself and enjoying a leisurely life."

Fang Dongtian had completely let go of all his burdens at this moment. He had already died once, so what else could he not let go of?

"Okay, remember to call me if anything happens."

"I don't know how to use a mobile phone."

Fang Dongtian said this and left. With his cultivation level, as long as he didn't want to be discovered, it was basically impossible for him to be found.

....... ....

After Fang Dongtian left, Qin Qi returned to the courtyard where they had always lived and lay down on the recliner again.

Swaying and staggering, I looked at the stars and the moon in the sky. Everything was the same, yet everything had changed.

……………………………………………………………

After a while, Lu Linglong came running over with a fawning smile on her face and a lot of snacks in her hands.

"Uncle-Master, I bought a lot of food, let's eat together."

Lu Linglong's smile was very cute, and the round pink blush on her cheeks gave her an adorable look.

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious. What are you up to? Let me make it clear first, there are some things I'm not telling you not to keep my distance from you, but to protect you."

“I know, I didn’t come here to ask anything. I just wanted to tell my martial uncle that even though my grand-uncle is gone, I’m still here.”

"I will stay at the Taoist temple with you, Uncle, for the next few days."

Lu Linglong was very curious during the day, but then she realized that Qin Qi was not the type to keep things to himself.

There must be a reason why they didn't tell me. Maybe it's because there might be danger if I knew, so they didn't tell me.

After figuring this out, Lu Linglong was no longer curious, but she was a little worried about Qin Qi, so she brought some food to see him.

"You're just trying to comfort me. Fine, I'll take your kindness. I'll definitely help you if you ever need anything in the future."

"Sigh, just thinking about this makes me feel troubled. This time, I'm asking the Celestial Master for help, and I'm asking your great-grandfather for help."

"How am I going to repay this favor? It's giving me a headache."

Qin Qi doesn't like owing favors, but if he does, he'll definitely find a way to repay them. However, he couldn't think of a way to do so for the time being.

"I don't know about the old Celestial Master, but my great-grandfather definitely won't accept it; he's the most stubborn man."

"He feels that what he did doesn't count as a favor at all, and he definitely won't accept your thanks."

Lu Linglong knew her great-grandfather well; he was a rigid and stubborn old man. To put it another way, if a hundred dollars fell on the ground...

He picked it up and will definitely go find the owner. If the owner thanks him after he finds it, he will absolutely not accept it.

He felt this was the proper thing to do, and he wasn't doing it out of gratitude; no matter what others said, he certainly wouldn't accept it.
