The girl's voice began to rise.
"Yes!"
Zhu Di scratched his head. "Is there a problem?"
He's not very bright and hasn't been to school for several days, so he doesn't understand the difference between the city and the mountains.
Linda took a deep breath and asked, suppressing her anger.
What's your uncle's name?
Shili City, as its name suggests, is only about ten miles in circumference. It is more of a slightly larger settlement than a city.
Due to its geographical location, the city is not developed: there are no buildings higher than seven stories, no well-known industries, and the only decent ones are a tannery and a meat processing plant.
Kew Gardens is a meatpacking plant worker, leading a monotonous and repetitive life like her colleagues.
He was a typical Northwesterner, with a short chin, a high, bony forehead, and dark reddish skin. He was somewhat fickle in his attitude towards wind, sand, people, and appearance. He was mute, didn't like to talk, and had been a laborer for nine years.
This didn't surprise him; if it weren't for his mother-in-law's nagging, he wouldn't have even thought of giving a gift.
Gift-giving is an art, but unfortunately he didn't understand it at all. He brought two cases of wine to the manager's house, but before he could even sit down, he said goodbye. He didn't even dare to ask about a raise. It was just a position, and besides, he didn't even know what he was there to do.
The weather was gloomy, just like the mood at Kew Gardens.
Sighing deeply, unable to think of anything meaningful, he could only weave cloth to get home. In the bathroom, he pondered how to explain to his mother-in-law that the foolish woman had made such a mess, it was truly a headache.
When I got home, the door was wide open, and there was a boy playing in the mud in the yard.
Kew Gardens looked around uncertainly and said
"Test?"
After washing up, Xiaoju looked up in surprise and ran over quickly.
Uncle, I can see you.
Kew looked him up and down: clean appearance, nice hairstyle, the tag on his sportswear was still on. If it weren't for his face, he would never have guessed that this was the boy who came out of the mud in the mountains.
"The clothes you're wearing"
Before he could even speak, a voice reached his ears.
"Are you from Kew Gardens?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, a man and a woman appeared at the door. They were dressed fashionably and were not very old, but they exuded a dignified aura. The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes and was very beautiful, but her eyes were somewhat cold, and she looked at the people present like a man-eating tiger.
Kew Gardens was unsure which one was which and hesitated.
"Who are you"
Linda walked over and tossed the white jade token to her: "This is something you can remember."
Kew Gardens caught the token, examined it for a moment, and then froze on the spot.
"A letter of command from the sect leader? How is that possible?"
"How did it end up in your hands?"
Linda grinned, turned around, and went inside.
Without thinking twice, Kew Gardens quickly followed.
"Young lady, young lady, who are you, and why do you have a white jade token?"
Linda said coldly.
"Are you a disciple of the Lingxu Sect?"
Qiu Yuan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Then what is this Lingxu Sect? The Lingxu Sect no longer exists."
What do you mean by saying no?
"That girl could have told us where she was from first!"
"What? You doubt me?"
Qiu Yuan shook his head.
"Judging from this girl's appearance, she must be a foreigner. I think you must have something to do with Ling Xiuzi!"
"Alright, he's my master."
"Unlikely"
Qiu Yuan placed a white jade token on the table: "Is he alright?"
"very good"
Qiu Yuan snorted, his expression indifferent. Clearly, he was just asking casually and wasn't particularly concerned about Lin Xiuzi's health: "Don't mind me asking something else, what's this girl doing here?"
"I want to see the current leader of the Void Spirit Cult" (Qian Wang's).
“The Lingxu Sect has no sect leader.” He paused, then sighed, “Since you are Lingxuzi’s disciple, I will not hide it from you. Apart from Xiao Jiu outside, the Lingxu Sect has no other disciples.”
Linda asked, puzzled, "Master told me that the Lingxu Sect has hundreds of disciples, so how come there are no disciples?"
That was twenty years ago.
“Since Lingxuzi fled abroad, Lingxu Sect has declined. The disciples have scattered. In just a few years, only Xiao Jiu’s father, Zhang Hanqing, remained. After his death, he entrusted his child to me. Now, Xiao Jiu is the only one left in Lingxu Sect.”
"How to say?"
"Ling Xuzi broke the law, and the sect was besieged on all sides, so it naturally declined."
His calm words were devoid of any emotion, clearly indicating that he had no particular feelings for the Void Spirit Sect.
Linda opened her mouth but couldn't say a word. She was about to scold the glutton, but the words just wouldn't come out. Qiu Yuan was thirty-eight years old this year, but twenty years ago he was just a greenhorn. Could he accept that it had nothing to do with Ajiu? Who could she rely on?
Chapter 1417 Immortals
Stay overnight at the best hotel in Shili City.
After the nine people were seated, Xu Fu entered the living room and...
"What's wrong? Still thinking about that day?"
Linda sighed solemnly, "If Master knew the current state of the Void Spirit Sect, he would be very sad."
"Of course he's sad. The Void Spirit Sect is what he cares about most." He paused, then said helplessly, "Even if he's sad, you still have this expression on your face."
Fuck you.
The girl rolled her eyes and turned around: "Aju, what should we do about this?"
She felt sorry for the boy, but sympathy and adoption are not the same thing, and besides, she was only 21 years old and had no interest in taking care of a child.
"Give it to the old man, and he will clean it and put it away himself."
"This is the best way," Linda asked with a sigh of relief. "That is..."
"Xu Fu, tell me what happened back then?" "Why did the master flee abroad and dare not return for decades?"
"He didn't tell you?"
"No"
"The elderly person has not yet overcome their inner obstacles."
Xu Fu poured some cold water into his cup and said as he drank, "Speaking of this, it all comes down to the Tiger Fiend Scripture. When the Tiger Fiend Scripture appeared in the world, the old man maintained his courage and tried to seize it. He actually managed to get his hands on it. Unfortunately, things were much more complicated than he imagined. He killed people in the process of fighting for it, and not just one. His opponents, intimidated by his strength, secretly collected evidence, and the 860 used official power to massacre him."
“Some forces even used their connections to publicize his crimes in the newspapers, sealing his fate. In China, there is a death penalty. Given the old man's crimes, once he falls into the hands of the police, he will be beheaded, and the stolen Tiger Roar Scripture will fall into someone else's hands. He doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to give up his martial arts, so he has no choice but to run away.”
Linda said indignantly, "These people are so unscrupulous. When they can't win, they turn on themselves."
Xu Fu laughed a few times.
"You can't say that. Strategy is also a form of combat, especially since they're after the 'Tiger Fiend True Scripture'!"
The girl asked, puzzled, "Is the Tiger Demon Scripture really that powerful?"
"Of course he's amazing. He has a legendary technique that can supposedly make you a god. Tell me, isn't he amazing?"
"God?"
Linda frowned incredulously, then
"What does this have to do with God?"
Xu Fu explained: "Earth is different from Krypton. Any chemical system that has been passed down for generations has its own pantheon. Most of the figures in these myths are fictional, but some are real, such as the Olympian god in the West, the sun god and feathered serpent god in the Americas, the ancient Voodoo god in Africa, and the gods of China."
"The pantheon of the Dragon Kingdom is different from other Ming dynasties. It talks about the relationship between man and heaven and earth. There are no nature gods here. Anyone can become a god. For example, the Cloud Mountain Master of Baiyun Temple. This old Taoist is not simple. He has already broken free from the physical form and become a physical soul. If he goes further, he can become a legendary god."
"To become an immortal, luck, talent, opportunity, and hard work are all necessary, but the most important thing is skill. Without skill, no matter how hard you try, you will not succeed." After saying this, he stopped and gazed into the distance.
You must understand!
The girl's eyes widened even more: "You mean, the True Tiger Fiend Scripture is a cultivation technique that can turn you into an immortal?"
"There are such rumors in the martial arts world, but I don't know the specifics. I only know one thing: the True Tiger Demon Scripture is not a good thing."
"How to do it?"
Xu Fu's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice.
"You've been cultivating for so long, you should have sensed it by now. This method of contemplation is not a Buddhist scripture that guides people towards goodness. The deeper you cultivate, the more bloodthirsty you become, and gradually you will lose control of yourself and turn into a vicious tiger that only knows how to kill."
