The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 40 - Taoist Priest Yi Qing

Zhao Jiuge's smile from Su Su who woke up froze and the corner of his mouth twitched. He stretched his hair and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something to refute, but seeing how weak Su Su was, he let it go.

However, at this moment, Zhao Jiuge was so focused on Su Su Su's health that he did not realize that Su Su was flushing all the way to his ears. The old man's last violent attack had caught him off guard and knocked him unconscious for a moment. He had just regained his senses when he saw Zhao Jiuge take out a pill to feed him.

At that moment, when he was in Zhao Jiuge's arms, he felt very comfortable, but due to his embarrassment, he pretended to be unconscious. However, who would have guessed that when Zhao Jiuge saw that he did not swallow the Blue Spirit Pill, he would directly kiss her and use his tongue to open his teeth. He had never talked much with the opposite sex, and Zhao Jiuge's powerful kiss had caused his mind to go blank.

Although he did not blame Zhao Jiuge for this situation, he felt extremely embarrassed. Her embarrassment disappeared and she started to frown as she recalled the taste of the kiss. It was his first kiss. Just as he remembered it, Zhao Jiuge started shaking it again and he took advantage of this moment to hide his thoughts and wake up.

Su Su looked at the stupid and honest Zhao Jiuge and showed a faint smile. He sighed in his heart and thought, "He's really a log."

Zhao Jiuge was sitting on the slope of a large hole. Su Su's back was leaning against Zhao Jiuge's stomach and his head was leaning against his chest. Both of them simply remained in this position, and each of them silently thought about their own things. If not for the zombie with its stomach split and the headless evil old man, how wonderful would this picture be.

Their gazes met and they just silently looked at each other. Since Zhao Jiuge secretly kissed her, she felt a little embarrassed. He gathered his courage and softly said, "This ... Is your body feeling better ... The Blue Spirit Pill was a pretty good medicine .... If you feel better, you should quickly cultivate to absorb spiritual energy.” Because he was so nervous, he stuttered while talking.

Seeing Zhao Jiuge's ridiculous expression, Su Su couldn't help but roll her eyes and scold that she was ruining the atmosphere! However, since she had spoken, as a girl, she could not shamelessly remain in her arms.

He got up and looked at Zhao Jiuge before sitting down. He examined his injuries and began to absorb the power from the Blue Spirit Pill. Zhao Jiuge sat there with an inexplicable feeling while he scratched his head, wondering how he was provoking him again.

Su Su's breathing became even. He discovered that there were not many external injuries, but his meridians were slightly damaged and he was running out of spirit power. If not, there is no big problem.

It turned out that during the old man's final attack, just as the blood-red spirit power was about to touch Su Su, the Purple Jade Glass Shuttle unleashed a powerful explosion, protecting Su Su. This magical treasure was left behind by Su Su's mother and could not only attack, but also defend. It was a rare treasure that could do both.

However, as he was about to be struck, he subconsciously used the little spirit power he had left behind to endure. This allowed some spirit power to enter his body and cause some damage to his meridians. Now that he had drunk the Blue Spirit Pill, a warm feeling flowed through him. He no longer thinks about love. He removed all distractions from his mind and began to absorb spiritual energy. Spirit power flowed through his body, refining his meridians.

Zhao Jiuge watched as Su Su gradually entered a state of cultivation. Zhao Jiuge sat there, bored, and thought of many random things. Finally, he gave up and decided to cultivate as well. He had been in a fierce battle in these past few days and had no time to cultivate properly.

He became focused and checked the situation in his body. The golden dragon on his body was broken and was lying in his dantian without energy. The old wounds on his body turned for the better. He thought that after a few days of cultivating properly, he would try to create a second golden dragon so that he could have the strength to protect himself. Otherwise, he would be at the mercy of others, which was not a good feeling.

The spirit power moved within his body following his cultivation method, and all the fatigue from the battle had recently appeared. Zhao Jiuge just sat there, motionless, as he quietly cultivated.

After a few hours, the chickens started to cry.

In the distance, the sky became visible and light appeared.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly woke up from his cultivation from the cries of the children. He stood up, stretched his lazy body, and breathed in fresh air. He felt fresh and excited.

Last night, many sounds and movements came from the entrance of the village. All kinds of ghostly sounds and howls had echoed. The people in the village did not dare to go out to see the lively situation because all the ghosts around this village and the nearby villages made them all scared. The daoists they invited were not here yet, so they did not dare to leave their homes.

At this moment, a chicken cry echoed and the day had just started to light up. All the old and young people in the village rushed towards the entrance of the village. The crowd was even more alive than in the new year.

When they saw the Spirit-Eating Zombie that gave off the smell of rotting corpses outside the village, they were terrified at what it was. Parents with children close their children's eyes with their hands.

More and more gathered, and even Su Su stopped cultivating. After a few hours, she had recovered from most of her injuries, but her beautiful face was still very pale as she had yet to fully recover.

Shortly after, the entire entrance of the village was surrounded by a crowd of people, and even the people from the nearby village had rushed over. One to ten, ten to 100, and everyone gathered here. Only then did one discover that there was a headless old man here as well, the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder.

They looked at the young girl and boy, then they all started pointing and talking. At this moment, the white-haired old man who led Zhao Jiuge and Su to the village walked over to ask about what happened last night. He had a heavy expression and looked at the two of them with doubt in his eyes.

Zhao Jiuge told the old man what happened last night and told the villagers that the haunting was actually the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder cultivating here. The pregnant women and the missing children had all been cruelly sacrificed by the old man.

After listening to all this, the white-haired old man was filled with sadness, but he only half believed. He looked at Zhao Jiuge and Su Su as if they were not good people either. After all, something like cultivation was too mysterious for these villagers.

Just as Zhao Jiuge did not know how to explain it, the crowd suddenly opened and four people walked in.

The first person wore a purple and gold dao hat with a blue and white dao robe. He has a long white beard and is very thin. He looked to be around 50 to 60 years old — an old daoist who looked extremely elegant.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man with a large head and ears wearing white clothes. His face was filled with beads of sweat either because of the heat or because of the rush to here—he looked like a villager.

There were two dao children of Zhao Jiuge's age behind the old daoist. They wore blue and white robes and their hair was tied up. On their heads were ordinary cloth hats, and their white faces were slightly red. The dao child on the left held a shaker and the one on the right held a sword wrapped in shark skin. There was a spirit stone attached to the sword hilt.

What surprised Zhao Jiuge was that the old Daoist was not holding a wooden sword, but something with an aura that he was familiar with. Zhao Jiuge was surprised to find that this old Daoist was also a cultivator, but he did not understand why a cultivator was doing business like this.

The four of them walked into the crowd. The middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his face and gasped for breath as he said to the old man, “Village Chief, I have invited Daoist Yi Qing. Last night, the city was sealed, so I was postponed for one night. We hurry as soon as dawn breaks.”

Daoist named Yi Qing walked into the crowd and his eyes twinkled as he looked at Zhao Jiuge and Su. He revealed a faint smile as he stepped forward and said, “Haha, I did not expect to meet two people who are of the same profession as me, and so young. This old daoist was called Yi Qing. Once this matter is over, if the two of you don't mind, you can come visit this poor Daoist place. ”

Elegant temperament, friendly smile, and humble attitude made people feel at ease.

Zhao Jiuge's mouth was stupid. He smiled but did not know how to follow through. It was Su Su Su who revealed a thin smile and nodded. He glanced at Zhao Jiuge. “Then we will trouble you. Please help the villagers deal with this matter here. ”

Daoist Yi Qing nodded and walked towards the white-haired village chief to ask about the situation. When he saw the Spirit-Eating Zombie with its stomach split open and the old man with his head severed, he could not help but lose all the color on his face. “Not respecting the heavens and committing crimes. In the end, they taste their own bitter fruit.”

Then he saw the situation on the field. The land is no longer intact. In addition to the large hole, there was a deep moat of over a dozen meters created by raw spirit power. The daoist silently pondered and was startled by the strength of these two youths.
