Chapter 55: Choice of two rewards
"I haven't entered Taoism since I was young, I have a grudge in my heart, and I have an obsession with immortality..."
"..."
"At the age of thirty-seven, he served as the governor of Zangqing County and the lord of Guwu City... he was appreciated by the prince and was given the gift of Taoism to practice..."
"I practiced until I was forty-two years old. I was unable to practice further due to my shallow qualifications. I went astray in search of shortcuts, and ended up suffering from all kinds of diseases..."
"At that time, under the guidance of the ghost-faced green-maned fox demon, I reached a blood contract with a ray of Mingluo's soul. I used the 'Blood Refining Pearl' to blood-refining creatures to supply Mingluo's needs in exchange for the corresponding mana baptism..."
"At this point, the 'Blood Refining Pearl' was used to guide the spirit of Ming Luo to possess him, and he used the excuse of floods to kill thousands of living beings..."
"Insatiable greed, loss of heart and ambition, he was killed by Zhou Xuan on the Qinglan River in Zangqing County."
"Today I will submit to the Dharma and return to the realm of hungry ghosts."
"The cause and effect of Wu's soldiers will be settled, and the reward will be: a hundred years of Taoism, three Yuan-Building Pills, and an Evil-Breaking Talisman."
"Optional rewards: The Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang's 'Five Elements Escape' or the method of cultivating immortals, the 'Dongxuan Five Emperors Sutra'."
"Selective reward? Choose one of the two?" Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, but due to time issues, he suppressed his excitement first and explained to the Six Paths Treasure Mirror, "Six Paths Treasure Mirror, I will choose later."
After that, he did not go through all the information he got from Wu Bing's cause and effect in detail. Instead, he wrote them all down first, and then after calculating the time of falling into the water, he started to float up to the river surface.
…
Above the river.
Li Qingsong held his chest and gasped hard. Before the look of determination on his face dissipated, he was shocked by the scene of Buzhou's divine soldiers descending from the sky to kill Wu Bing. For a while, his head was still in a daze, and he could not calm down.
Come.
It wasn't until he touched the wound, grinned, and sucked the cold wind from the river into his lungs like a ventilator that it made him frown, that he thought about Zhou Xuan's matter.
Regardless of his injuries, he shouted loudly: "Zhou Xuan——Zhou Xuan——"
Dui, who was originally preparing to escape, quickly lowered the air shuttle and started searching on the river. Looking at the river that was gradually calming down but still turbulent, the round face of Shota was full of anxiety.
"Brother Zhou—Brother Zhou—"
Even Zhao Que, after hesitating for a few breaths, started to put his hands to his mouth, "Zhou Xuan!", "Zhou Xuan!" and shouted loudly.
It didn't take long.
"Plop!"
A pool of water bulged on the surface of the river, and Zhou Xuan emerged from the water in embarrassment. He didn't care about his face being wet by the river water, and gasped for air.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Ah-Dai flew over on the air shuttle, and hung Zhou Xuan from the river on the air shuttle...
Seeing that Zhou Xuan was still alive, Li Qingsong breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense body gradually went limp, and he laughed while lying on the shuttle.
After some editing, the three of them combined the information and reported back "truthfully" through the Tianxianjian that "a mysterious expert took action to slay demons and demons."
Zhao Que remained silent and didn't speak. He was obviously lucky enough to be included in the team of people who cooperated with the mysterious master to slay demons, but he didn't look happy at all.
"It's over, let's go." After resting, Zhou Xuan said.
The floods here have been uprooted, and the information has been reported. There may be people from the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Appraisal Department in the Tianshi Mansion coming to check, but this has nothing to do with them.
We are still conducting a sky survey, and time waits for no one.
Ah-Dai found a space shuttle for Zhou Xuan who was a victim of Zheng Meng, and Zhou Xuan took him into the sky.
"Zhou Xuan!" Zhao Que's roar rang out from the messy dam below.
Zhou Xuan looked back at him.
I saw Zhao Que shouting loudly on the dam: "I owe you a life!"
A strange color flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes. He looked at Zhao Que, who had a serious expression on his face after surviving the disaster, and gave a rare nod.
Then, the flying shuttle turned into a stream of light and rushed into the clouds.
"It turns out... life can still be lived like this..."
On the dam, Zhao Que murmured.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and started searching around with a intact air shuttle.
"Brothers, Brother Zhao will take you back to the city..."
…
In the clouds, all three people looked solemn.
Li Qingsong was bandaged and flew the slowest.
Zhou Xuan leaned over and handed out a pill.
"Elixir?" Li Qingsong looked at Zhou Xuan with a strange expression. The elixir at this moment and the previous sword made him even more unable to see through the "Brother Zhou" in front of him.
"When I was studying demons earlier, I got a gift from an expert. I lived frugally and now I still have a few pills left." Zhou Xuan made a look of pain, "If you don't want it, I'll keep it."
?”
"I want it! I'm feeding Li the elixir. How can I spit it out?" Li Qingsong took it with a smile, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times like chewing soybeans, and then swallowed it.
"this……?!"
"What a powerful medicine!"
Li Qingsong pulled off the bandage amidst Ah-Dai's exclamation. He looked down and saw that the injuries outside his body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the injuries inside his body were almost healed.
"Isn't this a gift from an immortal?" Li Qingsong's eyes widened and he licked his tongue, "Is there any more? Give me two more pills to save your life."
Zhou Xuan rolled his eyes, but still took out one and handed it over.
Seeing this, Li Qingsong was startled and hurriedly pushed his hands and said: "Forget it, keep it in check, I was just kidding."
I also admired Zhou Xuan even more in my heart.
Duan watched silently, and his favorability towards Zhou Xuan increased at the speed of light.
The sky surveys in the past few days followed the procedures and did not encounter any crises. Unlike this time, if some mysterious master hadn't happened to pass by and slay the evil spirits, the three of them would have gone to the underworld to keep company.
However, it is easiest to see a person clearly between life and death. Zhou Xuan's courage and plan in times of crisis, as well as his current magnanimity and calmness, all make him feel at ease.
He even compared Zhou Xuan with Wu Xiuzhu and Li Xiaoxiao in his mind, and was disappointed to find that——
If it were Wu Xiuzhu, Li Xiaoxiao and the others... they would definitely not be able to handle it like Zhou Xuan did, let alone give that pill to others.
"Brother Zhou, should we go to the City Lord's Mansion to report?" Dumb asked.
"The City Lord's Mansion..." Zhou Xuan muttered, "I still have to go there. After all, that's how the sky survey process works."
"It's just that there were outsiders here just now, so there's one thing I didn't say."
"When that evil demon attacked me, I saw its face clearly. You would never have guessed that it was..."
"Wu Bing!"
"What?!" Li Qingsong and Ah-Dai were shocked at the same time.
But soon, both of them began to think about it, and finally nodded: "If you put it this way, some of the previous contradictions make sense..."
"However, there is something strange about the City Lord's Mansion. We took a quick look at it from a distance and left as if we had been there." Zhou Xuan said, "The body of Wu Bing is now at the bottom of the river, waiting for the people from the Demon Slayer Division to arrive.
