Chapter 402 Cricket in Person
This was the first time Chang Qing came to the mountain where the headmaster was located. The mountain was slightly lower than other hills, and there were green pines on both sides of the mountain road. The headmaster's hall on it was more like a Taoist temple, but the Taoist temple was a bit tall and could be seen from the foot of the mountain.
Walking up the mountain road, the ancient Taoist temple gate was half open, as if waiting for Changqing to arrive.
"Master, Ji Changqing greets you~"
"come in."
Chang Qing walked into the Taoist temple and the door closed automatically. What he saw was the abbot's residence, which was made of lime and blue bricks in an extremely simple manner.
In front of the high desk, a pile of jade slips blocked the uncle's view, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Sit down first. I'll talk to you after I finish reviewing this." The handsome uncle's voice was muffled and he seemed a little tired.
Changqing found a cushion and sat down, looking around the house curiously.
The spirit stone lamp above is extremely bright, and it is probably one of the few bright places in the sect at night.
After taking a quick look around, even Chang Qing felt that the sect leader's residence was too shabby, far from the magnificent palace he had imagined. On the other hand, it also showed that the sect leader seemed to be a very simple person.
Being pushed by the handsome uncle to be the leader was considered to be a difficult task for Li Yushu.
The handsome uncle finally raised his head and looked at Changqing who was sitting like a good boy. He couldn't help feeling strange. This kid didn't fit in with the layout of this place. He looked around and didn't look like a cultivator.
He wanted to make a joke, but when he thought of the next topic, he felt unusually heavy and his smile faded:
"Kid, things have changed, and plans have to be moved up!"
Chang Qing, who was a bit careless, raised his head suddenly after hearing this: "Something has happened?"
"Hmm!" The handsome uncle threw a jade slip to Changqing.
Changqing took it, injected spiritual power into it, and blue characters appeared before his eyes.
The big words "Tianji Pavilion" came into view first. Changqing's eyes moved downward and his eyebrows quickly twisted together.
After the handsome uncle informed Tianji Pavilion of the news about the black water pool along the coast, Tianji Pavilion sent people to investigate, but as a result, most of the personnel were lost and they brought back this news.
"A large number of sea monsters have gathered at the Black Water Pond, and there are signs of activities of high-level monster kings among them..." This short sentence was the news that the handsome uncle had spent thousands of spirit crystals to learn.
"At present, it seems that the demon tribe may have plans to attack in the near future, and the sirens are still accumulating strength. It is still unknown whether there will be a high-level creature above the demon king in the future, but we have to be on guard!" The handsome uncle looked worried.
The situation is indeed not very good.
"Master, have you found the magic weapon that allows you to escape instantly?" Chang Qing asked.
"No, those old antiques are so perceptive that we might have been noticed the moment we made our move. They are likely to appear in front of us in an instant. They are very powerful and can easily detect spatial fluctuations. If they catch up with us, we won't be able to outrun them~"
Well, the key issue is still not resolved!
"How about asking your master to join us?"
"no!!"
The handsome uncle quickly refused, frowning even more tightly, and looked at Chang Qing and said, "Boy, the Mirage Dragon Ancient Road is the last legendary road to immortality. You must know that in the face of such temptation, the people closest to you may betray you, not to mention these old antiques who are eager to become immortals!"
Changqing was silent. What the handsome uncle said was indeed right. The benefits were too great and it was hard not to be tempted.
"Boy, you have a good relationship with Tiandao, don't you? Why don't you talk to Tiandao about it? With Tiandao's help, everything will be fine~"
Chang Qing rolled his eyes and said, "He's not my father, how can I order him around!"
"you……"
The handsome uncle also felt it was a bit ridiculous. He sighed, looked at Chang Qing and said, "You have such a strong background. Didn't your family leave any treasures to cover up the secret?"
At this point, Chang Qing's mind moved, but he didn't say it out loud.
The pendant can indeed do this, but the pendant is his life-saving item. Chang Qing does not want to reveal the secret of the pendant unless he is forced to do so.
Moreover, when the pendant fell to the ground, it could have been discovered and picked up by those powerful people. But it is impossible for the pendant to stay in it for the rest of its life!
If the pendant can disappear without a trace the moment I close it, and I am the only one there, and no one sees it, it won't be considered exposed. This plan might work.
Thinking of this, Chang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and looked up and said:
"Master, just leave this matter to me. It will be done in a few days. However, once I go there, it will take at least half a year to return, so I need to make some plans."
The two chatted for a long time, until midnight, when someone knocked on the door and the conversation stopped.
"Su Lin, the elder, and Fu Xue, request to see the master/teacher."
The door opened, and three people were standing outside, Su Lin, Zong Lao, and Fu Xue.
The three of them came together, it seemed like they had something going on.
"Come in~" The handsome uncle waved his hand and invited the three people into the hall.
When they saw Chang Qing and the handsome uncle sitting cross-legged facing each other, their expressions changed.
Fuxue seemed to have the answer the moment he saw Changqing, and the expression on his face became much calmer.
The clan elder Yu Sulin was surprised at first, then looked embarrassed and depressed.
"Greetings, all the peak masters~" Chang Qing stood up and saluted towards the three people.
"You three, why are you here so late at night? What's so urgent that you can't wait until tomorrow?"
"This..." Su Lin opened his mouth. It was really difficult to tell the secret in front of others.
Fuxue: ...
Seeing that the two of them had been talking for a long time without saying anything, the hot-tempered elder couldn't stand Su Lin's hesitation and said directly: "We came here just for this person, Ji Changqing!"
Chang Qing was stunned. For himself? Chang Qing was confused. He didn't remember provoking these three people.
After thinking about it, I realized that these three people came to complain.
I couldn't help but feel a little angry. I had already taken out the Rejuvenating Pills and Liuwei Shenbao Pills, but these people were still thinking about me. This plan seemed to have failed!
"Oh? This kid made a mistake again?" asked the handsome uncle.
"No, Sect Master, we just want to remind you to be careful of this guy. He is too cunning and we may be sold out at any time~"
The elder expressed his thoughts in front of Changqing, but his voice was a little soft. It was probably because Changqing was present, so his words did not sound so harsh.
However... Changqing still exclaimed, "What a guy!" It is rare to see someone being rude to someone in front of him in ancient and modern times. The key point is that the elder did not even blush at all, which shows what kind of temper the elder has.
Su Lin and Fu Xue's faces turned slightly red. After all, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to complain in front of others.
The handsome uncle glanced at Changqing, and his eyes moved back and forth among the crowd with some amusement.
"Okay, I'll pay attention to this matter. Is there anything else? If not, go back!"
The handsome uncle waved his hand. He was the one who observed carefully. He knew that Changqing was not simple since the beginning when Changqing joined the sect. It was almost ten years since Changqing joined the sect, but these guys just discovered it.
"Ah? Is that it?" The elder was at a loss for words. This was too hasty and perfunctory!
Su Lin looked as if he was suddenly enlightened. After all, Chang Qing was already sitting here, so the handsome uncle's meaning was self-evident.
