Chapter 205: Seeking Immortal Monument
As soon as he showed his figure, some sharp-eyed people recognized his identity.
The news spread quickly like a tide. For a moment, cheers rang out from the crowds coming from all directions. They waved their arms and shouted Jiang Qing's name excitedly.
"Jiang Qing! Jiang Qing is back!"
"The hero is back!"
The guards on the city wall also raised their weapons to salute. Their eyes were full of respect and gratitude, as if they were welcoming the arrival of a savior.
Jiang Qing walked into the city with a confused look on his face.
What's going on?
Just because Frost Cliff City was liberated?
He originally planned to go to the Xu family in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect to receive such a grand welcome.
However, before he had time to adapt to the sudden hustle and bustle, a familiar and urgent voice penetrated the crowd and reached his ears directly.
"Jiang Qing! You are finally back!"
Xu Tianchuan, the head of the Xu family.
The middle-aged man was rushing through the crowd, his face full of worry and expectation, and his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
When he saw Jiang Qing standing in front of him safe and sound, Xu Tianchuan was relieved, stepped forward quickly and held Jiang Qing's arm tightly.
"Do you know that the whole Jubei City is worried about you? It's great that you can come back." Xu Tianchuan's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was overwhelmed with emotions.
Jiang Qing: "???"
I'm not your son, what medicine did I take wrong?
"Well, do you need a father?" Xu Tianchuan's voice came out suddenly.
Jiang Qing was stunned.
Others were also stunned, with incredible expressions on their faces, staring at Xu Tianchuan.
Xu Tianchuan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained, "Well... I didn't mean that. What I meant was that you made a great contribution by taking down Shuangya City this time. If it weren't for you, Shuangya City would have been in danger this time.
One move affects the whole body.
The situation of the entire northern theater will become extremely difficult by then, and the Xu family will probably be suppressed if they are not doing well in the battle, after all, there have always been many people eyeing this position.
All these things make me feel that your contribution is too great, and to be honest, when the old man sent Beichuan to go, he had already put the fate of the Xu family on you.
And you are still in the growth stage and need help, so I want to strengthen the bond between us.
Beichuan is your disciple, and I am your adoptive father.
How about it?"
Jiang Qing's eyelids twitched. He was the adopted son of the Xu family's patriarch. You know, Xu Xingguang could run rampant in the martial arts world with this identity alone.
If he also had this identity, it would be a lot more convenient, and Xu Tianchuan's proposal did make Jiang Qing feel a little unexpectedly warm.
Although he didn't really need an adoptive father, Xu Tianchuan's move was undoubtedly a recognition of his achievements and a respect for him.
"This..." Jiang Qing pondered for a while, his eyes swept across the expectant faces around him.
He knew that Xu Tianchuan's proposal was not only an affirmation of him personally, but also an investment in the future of the Xu family and Jubei City.
"Master Xu, I appreciate your kindness." Jiang Qing took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "But, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be an adopted son.
I'm not a member of the Xu family, and I don't want to act on anyone's reputation. Regarding the affairs of Shuangya City, I just did my duty as a cultivator."
Hearing this answer, Xu Tianchuan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he soon returned to normal, smiled and patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder:
"Well, you are an independent person, and my thoughts are redundant.
However, no matter what difficulties you have in the future, the Xu family will be your solid backing."
The people and soldiers around saw this scene, and they couldn't help but admire Jiang Qing's style even more.
They originally thought that Jiang Qing would gladly accept such an honor, but he humbly and politely refused. This attitude of not seeking fame and fortune is even more respectable.
Jiang Qing nodded to the crowd around him, then turned around and continued to walk into the city. He knew in his heart that the real reliance was not the name given by others, but his own growing strength and unremitting courage.
A few days later, a grand apprenticeship meeting was held in Jubei City.
Inside and outside the Xu family, whether it was family members or the people in the city, they all knew that there would be a historic moment today - Xu Beichuan officially became Jiang Qing's apprentice.
The morning sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the Xu family's martial arts training ground. Countless spectators had already gathered. They sat around the sidelines, talking and looking forward to the ceremony that was about to begin.
The Xu family members were all dressed in costumes without exception, with solemn and proud expressions.
It seemed that in their hearts, it was the supreme honor for the family to form an alliance with a hero.
Jiang Qing wore a simple black suit and stood in the center of the field with a calm expression.
The Xu family... No wonder they are so enthusiastic. It turns out there is another reason.
After arriving at Jubei City yesterday, the Xu family quickly decided to hold a ceremony of apprenticeship the next morning.
They stayed there first.
It was also at this time that they finally met Luo Shui, who had to retreat to ask for help after being injured in the previous battle with the black water bear in Shuangya City.
After the meeting, the two sides talked a lot.
Jiang Qing and others told Luo Shui about the news of the northern border and the boundary wall one by one, which made Luo Shui's eyes light up, and his hands clenched and trembled when he was in danger.
At the end, he only felt pity.
She was afraid that she would never see such scenery in her life, but she also told Jiang Qing a piece of information that surprised her.
.
The head of the ninth peak of Ziyun Sect, Fairy Qingsu, successfully survived the heavenly tribulation and became a supreme master!
Qingsu was clearly injured, and she said before that her foundation was damaged. I don’t know how she could break through so quickly and become a supreme master.
But Qingsu was his master.
Now it is not difficult to explain why the Xu family has such an ambiguous attitude towards him.
Standing on Jiang Qing’s side is equivalent to standing directly with the two supreme masters of Ziyun Sect, and the national master... If the battle of luck goes smoothly, this will be another one.
This is already three supreme masters, plus his old man from the Xu family... Although I don’t know how long the old man can last, the number of supreme masters has reached a terrifying four.
And Jiang Qing himself.
When he grows up...
Winning over Jiang Qing is equivalent to embracing half of the human race. Before, they still doubted the old man's decision. After all, they couldn't understand the illusory luck.
But the strongest fighting force of the human race is the strongest, and counting the strongest is not a technical job.
Now everyone understands it.
After thinking about this, Jiang Qing shook his head. It turned out that he was moved by Bai yesterday. He thought it was his reputation for his outstanding military exploits.
It turned out that he had eaten the master's soft rice without knowing it, but it must be said that it was good to have soft rice.
In the martial arts training field.
Next to Jiang Qing was Xu Beichuan in a gorgeous dress. The latter looked a little nervous, but his eyes were full of determination and excitement. For him, being able to worship Jiang Qing as a teacher is also a great honor in his martial arts practice.
Why?
Because Jiang Qing is strong enough. Although the age difference between the two is not big, as long as he can learn something, he doesn't care about the status.
As the head of the family, Xu Tianchuan stood aside to preside over the entire ceremony. His voice was loud and clear: "Today, Xu Beichuan, the son of my Xu family, has the honor of becoming a disciple of the hero Jiang Qing and learning martial arts, in the hope that he can better contribute to the family and Jubei City in the future."
As Xu Tianchuan finished speaking, Xu Beichuan knelt down in front of Jiang Qing, holding a cup of tea in both hands, his head lowered almost to the ground: "Disciple Xu Beichuan, I am willing to become a disciple of Teacher Jiang Qing and perform the etiquette of a disciple."
"——Wow!!"
The crowd was boiling.
I thought it was just a formality to become a disciple, but in fact, it was just an alliance between the forces behind the two.
Now it seems like a real demon? !
Xu Beichuan lowered his posture so low.
Jiang Qing took the teacup and said lightly: "Get up."
His tone did not have too many emotional fluctuations, but it revealed a steady power.
"From today on, you are my disciple and a registered disciple of Ziyun Sect. I can teach you everything I know without reservation. But remember, martial arts are external things after all, and real strength comes from the heart."
"... Jiang, Master."
Xu Beichuan scratched his head and asked embarrassedly: "What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know either. I have to say something in this kind of occasion, just to show off." Jiang Qing looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Xu Beichuan: "..."
Why do I suddenly feel that this master is a little unreliable? Is it useful to regret it now?
[Crazy value +8888 provided by Xu Beichuan]
"Wow!"
Crazy value of the system!
Jiang Qing was secretly surprised. He might have been too serious recently and didn't go crazy, so he didn't get any points.
I didn't expect this new disciple to be so good. He contributed so much right after he came.
[Crazy value from Gou Dafu +9876]
[Crazy value from Liu Doudou +1237]
[Crazy value from Xu Xingguang +1111]
[Crazy value from Zhang Shizi +8866]
[From...]
When Jiang Qing spoke just now, he deliberately raised his voice, which caused almost everyone at the scene to hear it.
Most normal people would think that it was crazy to say such words on such an important occasion.
It is normal to whisper, or to criticize, or to say behind the back. When it is said on the spot, there are only two words to describe it, awesome.
"It seems that most of the people who provide emotional value are strangers." Jiang Qing touched his chin, "There is also Xu Xingguang... What is this little girl surprised about?"
Then he looked at his teammates.
"Forget it, these people are useless and can't provide emotional value for me." Jiang Qing jokingly complained in his heart.
Three kneelings and seven kowtows.
This is a recognized rule in the southern Xinjiang cultivation world. Only biological parents are worthy of nine kowtows.
The audience around held their breath at this moment, witnessing the solemnity and sacredness of this moment.
And the eyes of the young generation of warriors were full of envy and yearning, they longed to become Jiang Qing's disciples like Xu Beichuan one day.
Xu Tianchuan showed a satisfied smile on his face and announced loudly: "From now on, Xu Beichuan is the first disciple of Teacher Jiang Qing!"
The people present cheered in unison and applauded...
With the successful conclusion of the apprenticeship ceremony, Jiang Qing and his team said goodbye to the Xu family temporarily, without a moment's delay, they immediately boarded the flying boat and set off for the Wuji Sea.
With a light sound, the flying boat slowly rose into the air and began to shuttle between the layers of clouds, heading towards the distant destination.
Jubei City is in the north, and Wuji Sea is in the south, spanning several continents in between.
So in the past half month, I'm afraid everyone has to spend it on this flying boat.
The sails on the boat fluttered gently with the wind, which was a rare leisure time, especially after gradually leaving the Northern Territory, the temperature also returned to normal.
They sat on the deck of the flying boat with a few cushions and began a relaxed conversation.
"Look at this, 'The sky and the earth are boundless, and the universe borrows the law', who of you has written down the next part?" Luo Hua took out a jade slip, on which was engraved the notes he hastily wrote in front of the stone tablet.
The nameless tablet outside the boundary.
"Well, I have some here, 'The heart moves with the will, and the mind turns with the heart', which seems to describe a state of cultivation?" Shen Chengxian took out a bamboo slip from his arms and said while flipping through it.
Bailiye next to him was not to be outdone, and recited the fragments in his memory: "'Untainted by the mortal world, the true self is revealed', I remember this sentence very clearly, as for the rest..."
"You didn't forget it, did you?!"
"No, no, I'll look for it, I remember I wrote it down, it should be in the storage bag."
Jiang Qing listened quietly to the discussion of his teammates, and soon Bailiye also took out his manuscript, and he couldn't help but twitching his eyes.
Except for Senior Sister Luoshui who didn't go.
He was the only one who didn't take out the manuscript, the problem was that he seemed to be about to forget it...
A wise man will make mistakes.
No!
"Ahem, Xiaosui, come first, see what your part is?" Jiang Qing said shamelessly.
Qin Xiaosui, this little cutie, only knows how to eat and play, and must have forgotten this matter a long time ago.
"Oh."
Hearing Jiang Qing's words, Qin Xiaosui recited it on the spot.
Jiang Qing: "???"
"Xiao Sui, when did you become so awesome!"
Qin Xiao Sui looked at Jiang Qing with a puzzled look, "Because the time I play is saved after completing the task.
It was like this when I was in Ziyun Sect before."
Jiang Qing: "???"
Why do I feel like you play all day long!
Wait!
Doesn't this mean that this guy learns things at an incredibly fast speed?
No wonder she didn't practice much in Ziyun Sect, but her cultivation level rose rapidly, even faster than her own.
"In fact, that inscription... doesn't seem to be very difficult, but everyone said that they should recite it separately, so Xiao Sui only recited a part of it."
Everyone: "..."
"Alright." Luo Hua interrupted, "Junior Brother Jiang, hurry up and take out your share, I can't wait!"
Jiang Qing's scalp numbed.
Luckily at this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the sea of consciousness, reading the obscure bytes.
Yin Dragon Soul!
Jiang Qing immediately relayed it.
As time went by, the fragmented texts gradually connected, as if a complex and exquisite puzzle slowly presented its full picture.
Soon after, a complete inscription was clearly presented in front of everyone, and each word seemed to contain infinite power and profound meaning.
"Xiaoxian Tablet."
Jiang Qing whispered these three words, and his eyes revealed a trace of shock and awe.
"A hundred-word inscription, an opportunity to become an immortal, just a hundred words, revealing the secrets of heaven..." The team members followed and recited the inscription, and the sound echoed above the flying boat, full of the desire to explore the unknown and the yearning for the extraordinary realm.
