Chapter 9 Immortal Fate Tournament
After entering the wine shop, Lu Qing found a clean table to sit down. After a while, the boss brought two hot pots of soju and took a plate of cooked beef and two plates of side dishes for Lu Qing to drink.
Lu Qing first picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he picked up the wine pot without using a cup to directly touch his mouth.
His virtue now has completely lost the royal majesty, and it is no different from the popular and common people on the street.
While drinking and eating meat, he fell into thought.
Today, there were no customers in Lao Qin’s wine shop, and it happened to be quiet.
After Lao Qin finished serving the food, he saw that he was worried, so he walked over and moved the chair opposite him and sat down with his own composure.
This is the old rule between the two of them. As long as there is no one in the store, Lao Qin will sit down and accompany him like this.
It's interesting to say that although he has been to Qingyun Palace for more than half a year, he has not even had a friend in the mountain. The only one who can still be considered half a friend is the owner of this wine shop.
Lao Qin didn't know his true identity, and he had never asked. Sometimes the two of them would talk about topics about the world and the sea. After talking, they were all busy.
This boss is quite an interesting person.
"Tell me, what trouble did you encounter today?"
"Can you see?"
"No, you can tell from your solemn and confused look."
“..”
When Lu Qing heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "What else can it be? I've been targeted by someone..."
Old Qin was not surprised when he heard this. He looked up at him and then said, "Who is there?"
"Zhou Xiang!"
"...Oh, that's not surprising."
Lu Qing was a little surprised by this. Did Old Qin know that Zhou Xiang would cause trouble for him?
But I don’t know Zhou Xiang at all... Why is he trying to find fault with me?
Seeing him like this, Lao Qin smiled sly and said, "Looking at you like this, you still don't know anything, right?"
"What do you know?"
Lao Qin laughed and then winked at him.
Seeing this, Lu Qing had no choice but to pick up the unused wine glass on the table and pour a glass of wine into it.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them in front of him, and smiled bitterly: "Old Qin, you said we are always in love, so just talk to me and just give me a helping hand."
Seeing that he was so good at doing things, Lao Qin was not polite at the moment. He grabbed a piece of beef into his mouth, then picked up the wine that Lu Qing poured for him on the table and took a sip of it happily.
Lu Qing didn't just come to drink today. He must figure out Zhou Xiang's affairs as soon as possible.
Now his only place to live is Qingyun Palace. If there are enemies with unknown motives here, the future will be very troublesome...
This small wine shop is not only small, but people come here every day, and many people talk. As the shopkeeper, Lao Qin will hear many unknown inside stories.
Besides, Lu Qing looked at Lao Qin with a long eye, and he saw that he was leisurely slapping the dishes and siping the wine endlessly. He couldn't help but say, "It's really hard to ask you something. You said, "You just drink it and drink it, it's still awesome. Is it over? Tell me quickly."
Seeing that he was like this, Lao Qin no longer kept him indifferent. He immediately told him in detail about the "big brother" recognized by the outer sect of Qingyun Palace...
"It's actually quite strange to talk about Zhou Xiang.
Three years ago, Qingyun Palace opened its doors to recruit disciples, and eighty-one immortal envoys went down the mountain to seek the entry of those who had the fate of Taoism. A total of 3,000 disciples who passed the assessment could go to the outer gate of Qingyun Palace to practice.
This Zhou Xiang is one of them.
But if the outer disciples are suffering, I guess you should understand if I don’t say it.
I don’t have any resources and have limited talent. I still have to contribute to the sect and work hard.
Zhou Xiang is also one of these people.
But I don’t know when he suddenly showed amazing talent and made rapid progress in his cultivation.
Some people say that his talent was forced out by the cruel reality, while others say that he actually got the immortal's dream and gave him a glimpse of his mind.
Later, Zhou Xiang became more and more famous, and gradually formed a force in the outer sect. People looked up to the rise of the water, and they were faintly the seventy-third generation senior brothers.
Until the inner door assessment...
"Then, don't keep it a secret!"
"Pour wine!"
"Here comes again... I'll tell you quickly!"
After Lao Qin picked up the wine glass and drank it all, he continued, "Later, it was an internal sect assessment, and several real people threw olive branches to him, but they were all rejected by him... He said he had already decided who to join and practice."
"Slow down, he might be trying to join my master's sect."
"Well, during the final assessment, his cultivation and talent were among the best, and everyone was optimistic about him.
But Ziyang Zhenjun, your master, did not comment on his achievements, but just shook his head and said, "This guy has no chance with me, so I should look for another wise master!" After that, he drove him down from Rizhao Peak.
From then on, Zhou Xiang swears to the sky that he must let Ziyang Zhenjun accept him as his disciple within five years, otherwise he would not enter the inner sect!
Later he once challenged you, Senior Brother Bai. He thought that a Taoist boy who cooked a pot and cooked, but who knew that he would be defeated by your Senior Brother Bai in just a few tricks.
In anger, he chose to go down the mountain to practice hard, and threatened that when he came back, he would defeat Bai Zixiu and become a disciple of Ziyang Zhenjun.
...
”
Lu Qing understood Zhou Xiang's identity and background...but is this related to him?
Even if there is a grudge, it is a grudge between Zhou Xiang and Bai Zixiu. But why did the matter come from today?
"What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Because you are also a disciple of Immortality... and compared to Bai Zixiu's young age, who has a mid-stage foundation building cultivation, you are a person who doesn't even have a level of Peiyuan, which is more jealous."
"Disciple of Immortal Fate?"
"That's right, according to the Qingyun Ancestor system, although it is easy for the disciples of Xianyuan to get started, they must unconditionally accept the challenge of disciples in the sect once a year to show that the Qingyun Ancestor's style is still alive and the way of cultivating immortals is open to everyone. It is called the Xianyuan Martial Arts Competition!
If you lose, you will be driven out of the mountain gate...and if they lose, there will be no impact...
You said if it were you, there would be such a profit-free deal, would you do it?"
"Is this too unfair?!"
"Oh? Is this world fair?"
“…”
Lu Qing knew that he had come in through the back door, which is the so-called disciple of the True Lord Immortal Fate. But he was a dignified King of Chu, and how could he pass the introductory assessment half a year ago?
He always thought that Song Hezi had invited him for this reason to provide political protection. He thought that this identity was the most suitable for his situation.
Who knew that this disciple of Immortal Fate actually had hidden dangers!
It’s really a tree that wants to be quiet but the wind never stops... I originally just wanted to practice well in Qingyun Palace and live a safe life for a few days.
How could it be inexplicably involved in such a thing?
What’s even more hateful is that Song Hezi didn’t know whether it was intentional or really forgot, but he never mentioned this to him!
It has been half a year since I started, which means it has only been half a year since the first challenge...
If you lose in half a year, you will be kicked out of Qingyun Palace. If you are not lucky, you will find yourself by the people from the court. Then you can be prepared to die of euthanasia...
It's really a bad luck!
The only thing that is thankful is that I still have some time.
Although half a year is not long, it is not a short time. If you chase it, you should at least have some cultivation without any power to resist.
When Lu Qing thought of this, he suddenly felt that every minute and every second were precious.
Immediately pay the bill, regardless of the fact that there was still half a pound of beef that I had not eaten, so I got up and wanted to go back.
Seeing him in a hurry, Lao Qin smiled slightly, and before he left the door, he said behind him: "It's not too late to repair the sheep. Now there is still half a year left, so you still have hope..."
"It doesn't hurt when you stand and talk!"
"Ha ha.."
...
He can't care about face or not now, and now every day is very precious to him.
No more waste of time!
As for Bai Zixiu... let him go, can he eat himself?
It’s better to look ugly on your face than to be driven out of the mountain gate and cross the fog of the corpse...
When Lu Qing returned to the courtyard, he pushed the door open and found that there was no one.
Bai Zixiu is not here...
This made Lu Qing feel a little relaxed. It wasn’t that he was really afraid of him, but he was just under the roof and didn’t dare not bow his head...
He lives in Bai Zixiu now, and it is really inconvenient to do anything...
It seems that I will have to move out in two days. As for the residence, cut two mangosteens and find some thatch to make a living.
In fact, most of the disciples of the outer sect of Qingyun Palace live in such simple thatched huts, and even among some inner sect disciples, many people with shortages of money will live in such a house...
As for this kind of cottage with yards, it is actually a magic tool that is usually folded as a soybean.
When using the craftsmanship, you can build a cottage with a courtyard on the spot... Of course, this thing is not cheap, and it costs 300 low-grade spirit stones!
...Alas, it is said that people who practice outsiders are not in the world?
