Zhang Dehai was the monk Bai Qingzhou met for the first time in his life. He was accidentally robbed on his head when he was robbing the village. He killed several people in an instant. Now, Bai Qingzhou can still think of what he felt in his heart when he took action.
of fear.
Later, he was shot dead by Qin Feng with an arrow, which gave Bai Qingzhou the opportunity to practice the Xian family's skills. Now he suddenly heard Meng Li say this name, and he couldn't help but think of his face with a bow and arrow stuck in his eye socket.
The memory of him still remains fresh in his mind.
Bai Qingzhou stared into Meng Li's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
Meng Li was completely unafraid of Bai Qingzhou's sharp eyes, with a serious expression, and said coldly: "Of course I am sure that I have seen Zhang Dehai in the city before."
Meng Li called Zhang Dehai by his name.
Meng Li had met Zhang Dehai in the city. This was not surprising. According to Bai Qingzhou's understanding, Zhang Dehai was the Xuanyang Sect's immortal master stationed in Ningshui Prefecture before. It was after his accidental death that another outer disciple was deployed.
After more than a year passed, it was Bai Qingzhou's turn.
Bai Qingzhou made some calculations in his mind and asked: "Do you know the specific period of time you were comatose?"
"It should be two years and one month." Meng Li lowered her head and thought for a moment before giving the answer.
It has been nearly two years since Bai Qingzhou started practicing. Except for the month he spent practicing the exercises on his own in the village after obtaining the exercises, the time has just come together...
"No wonder when we met him on the official road that day, his face was pale and he seemed to have been seriously injured. It seemed that he was injured by the casual cultivator, and then Qin Feng took the opportunity to kill him with an arrow..." Bai Qingzhou was silent in his heart.
think.
Bai Qingzhou regained his composure a little, looked at Meng Li with a cold expression, and asked: "Is this why you didn't even tell your father and only told me?"
"Yes, when I woke up that day, I naturally remembered what happened clearly. After all, in my mind, it just happened. But I saw you wearing the same gray robe, so you must be from the same sect as him, so
I..." Meng Li closed her mouth at the end.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Bai Qingzhou sighed and said, "So you are hiding something and don't dare to tell the truth?"
Meng Lijing remained silent and acquiesced.
Meng Li's approach was naturally correct. After all, this matter had the black mark of Xuanyang Clan killing innocent mortals. If word spread, it would definitely affect the Xuanyang Clan's reputation, so not saying anything at the time was the right thing to do.
She reacted very quickly to this matter. When she woke up and saw many people in the room, she immediately knew that she could not explain the matter in front of everyone.
If word got out and people were afraid of it, and the Meng family casually smeared the Xuanyang Sect, the entire family would be destroyed. In order to save her family, she could only tell Bai Qingzhou alone.
After a long silence, Bai Qingzhou stood up and walked a few steps casually in the pavilion. Then he stood in front of Meng Li and asked seriously: "You did the right thing in this matter, but...do you have any complaints against Xuanyang Sect?"
?”
Zhang Dehai killed several of her companions without mercy. She only escaped by chance, otherwise she would have died in Zhang Dehai's hands.
Meng Li lowered his head and murmured: "No, I have no complaints. There is a difference between immortals and mortals. We are as ordinary and fragile as little ants and crickets. We can be ravaged and hurt at will. Life is like grass and mustard, which cannot be cherished and is worthless.
.only..."
Meng Li raised her head, looked directly at Bai Qingzhou, with a firm look in her eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"It's just...I don't feel satisfied."
Bai Qingzhou was a little stunned: "You don't accept it? But so what if you don't accept it... Zhang Dehai has been dead for a long time..."
Meng Li shook her head, seemingly unconcerned about the news of Zhang Dehai's death, and said: "I am not seeking revenge, but I no longer want my life to be controlled by others at will. I want to be a cultivator of immortality!"
This is the beginning of the heart of the great road...
These words made Bai Qingzhou sigh in his heart.
for a long time.
Bai Qingzhou said slowly: "It's natural for you to have this idea, but not everyone can do this. It still requires talent."
"I have confidence in myself."

Looking at Meng Li with a serious expression, Bai Qingzhou didn't know what to say for a moment, and the scene fell silent again.
There was silence for a long time.
"Go back. Just don't publicize what happened today."
Bai Qingzhou waved his hand heavily and asked her to leave.
"Well..." Meng Li turned and left.
Watching Meng Li leave, Bai Qingzhou fell into deep thought.
Zhang Dehai was the person who indirectly introduced him to the path of cultivation. Unexpectedly, he had no mercy for mortals and could kill them at will, as if he was not a decent person.
Various images kept flashing through Bai Qingzhou's mind.
I think of Zhang Dehai, who was leaning on the sedan chair and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
Thinking of Qin Feng holding a bow and arrow with anger in his eyes.
I think of Zhang Zhiyan crying bitterly in the wilderness.
Thinking of Meng Li with a calm face and cold eyes.
…
Bai Qingzhou was preoccupied with things, his thoughts were flying around, and he had no intention of practicing for a while.
"Master Immortal! We are back." A clear voice came.
Interrupting Bai Qingzhou's thoughts, he looked up and saw Ji Sijinian and Ji Sijinian appearing at the door of the yard with smiles on their faces.
"Why are you back? It's been ten days, isn't it?" Bai Qingzhou calculated the time and found that it should only be the ninth day today.
"Hehe, it's enough time. We have nothing to do at home, so we'll be back." Ji Si said with a smile.
Ji Nian stepped forward and handed an orange to Bai Qingzhou, and said with a smile: "Master Immortal, these are the oranges grown by our family. We brought back a lot this time, let me give you a taste."
Bai Qingzhou took it and saw that the orange was golden in color and had a green leaf, which looked particularly pleasing against the green leaves.
Peeling it open gently, a fragrance penetrated straight into the nose. He took a piece and put it into his mouth. The sweet juice burst out instantly. Bai Qingzhou nodded and said: "It is indeed very sweet."
"Hehe, let's go pack things first." Ji Sijinian and the two left happily.
Seeing the two people who were so excited just to go home, Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but smile. Simple things can bring happiness.
After eating the oranges slowly, Bai Qingzhou closed his eyes and rested in the pavilion. As time passed, his restless mood gradually calmed down.
Maybe you don’t need to think so much?
Birth, old age, illness, and death bring misfortune to you. You should enjoy yourself in time while you are still alive.
Bai Qingzhou felt something in his heart.
----------------------------------------
The water flows eastward, the leaves fall one after another, and the fleeting time slips away quietly.
Under the intentional publicity of the Meng family, the news that Bai Qingzhou had rescued the eldest daughter of the Meng family who had been comatose for two years spread throughout Ningshui Prefecture, making his reputation grow day by day. Master Bai Xian's reputation for charity gradually became known to everyone.
Among the previous resident immortal masters, several of them thanked guests behind closed doors and never took responsibility for matters. Most of the affairs of Ningshui Prefecture were taken care of by the city lord, but Bai Qingzhou took responsibility seriously and gave up a lot of practice time to deal with it.
Various chores were done, and things were done in a reasonable and well-founded manner. Slowly, the news of being fair and responsible began to spread.
But for Bai Qingzhou, a good reputation brings more and more affairs to deal with.
Later, when he was too busy, Bai Qingzhou asked Ji Sijinian to take charge of it together with Li Er. Some simple matters could be arranged according to their ideas.
Only those things that cannot be dealt with, such as the extermination of bandits, ghosts and monsters, and martial arts masters causing trouble, etc., need to be reported to Bai Qingzhou for treatment, and then Bai Qingzhou will order or deal with it himself.
Fortunately, with the two sisters of the Ji family, Bai Qingzhou was able to find time to meditate and practice swordsmanship every day.
Bai Qingzhou was standing on the high city wall, looking at the crowd of people below. There were two people standing behind him.
"How are the arrangements for the Ascension Conference?" Bai Qingzhou asked softly.
"Go back to Immortal Master, stay, patrol
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The team, venue and other issues have been arranged. We are just waiting for the Immortal Climbing Conference to begin." Li Er took a step forward and answered respectfully.
Xuanyangmen’s five-year ascension meeting is about to begin.
As the conference prepared to begin, a large number of people began to pour into Ningshui Prefecture. There was a mixture of good and bad people, and there were more and more things going on in all aspects. People often made trouble in the city, causing Bai Qingzhou to cut off his training time and take full responsibility for the entire matter.
arrangement.
"Well, let me remind Ji Sijinian that this matter must not go wrong." Bai Qingzhou reminded.
"Yes!" Li Er said yes with his hands raised.
Bai Qingzhou nodded, then turned around and looked at a young man with an indifferent face standing next to Li Er. He chuckled and asked, "Chen Lin, tomorrow is the Immortal Assembly. How are you preparing?"
The young man is none other than Chen Lin. After two years, the young man has grown into an even more extraordinary person, with a stern look on his resolute face. More than a year of training has made him tall and tall, and he already has a powerful aura at a young age.
Chen Lin stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Back to Master Bai, I have never slacked off and have been preparing."
Bai Qingzhou nodded happily. He naturally saw this. When Chen Lin told him that he wanted to learn skills, he told Chen Lin about the Climbing Conference. For more than a year, Chen Lin has been doing the same.
Waiting for today. Since the venue of the conference was scheduled to be Ningshui Prefecture, he asked Li Er to go back to the mountain gate and bring Chen Lin out.
"How is your practice of "Rouyun Swordsmanship" going?" Bai Qingzhou suddenly asked.
"Rouyun Swordsmanship" is a swordsmanship secret book given to Chen Lin by Bai Qingzhou.
It is a book of mortal swordsmanship that Bai Qingzhou accidentally collected in Ningshui Prefecture. Although it is just a common thing, it is said to have been created by a martial arts master. If it were to live in the martial arts world, it would surely cause a bloody storm. It is worth a lot.
Quite extraordinary in the mortal world.
But this thing was most useless to Bai Qingzhou. Thinking that Chen Lin was interested in practicing swordsmanship but was still practicing the fancy "King Style Foil Sword", he asked someone to send "Rouyun Swordsmanship" back to him and wrote a letter.
Let him practice more often.
"I can already master dozens of moves." Chen Lin replied honestly.
"That's good, go down and make adjustments and prepare well, and perform well tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Then he bowed and left.
After Chen Lin left the city wall, Li Er lowered his head and thought for a while, then stepped forward and said tentatively: "Master Immortal, do you want to tell Chen Lin in advance about tomorrow's..."
Li Er started to speak but stopped.
"What did you say?" Bai Qingzhou asked strangely.
"It's just an assessment item..."
"No!"
Bai Qingzhou directly interrupted and shouted: "This assessment must be fair and impartial. No matter who it is, no assessment items can be leaked in advance! Whether Chen Lin can pass or not depends entirely on him. We cannot interfere!"
"I understand..." Seeing Bai Qingzhou being so serious, Li Er knew that he had said the wrong thing and answered tremblingly.
"Li Er, put away your evil thoughts!"
Li Er immediately knelt down and begged for mercy in a low voice: "I know I was wrong..."
Seeing the nervous Li Er, Bai Qingzhou also felt that his tone was a bit harsh. After all, Li Er also thought about Chen Lin. They had lived together in the mountains for several years. Li Er was quite old and was usually too much for the other three.
In order to take care of him, the relationship between several people is very good.
After calming down for a moment, he said softly: "It's okay. You go and check the Immortal Master's mansion. The Immortal Master on the mountain will come tomorrow and be sure to arrange every room."
"Yes!" Li Er said he was resigning.
After returning to calm on the city wall, Bai Qingzhou looked at the busy streets below. On the smooth and tidy streets, there were many young people with expectant expressions wandering around, all with expressions of anticipation and curiosity on their faces.
The five-year ascension meeting is a well-known event in the neighborhood. Bai Qingzhou estimated that during this period, at least tens of thousands of people flocked to Ningshui Prefecture. Many women and old men dressed in rural areas brought many young people and girls into the city, bringing the entire city to the city.
Ningshui Prefecture was packed with people.
After all, this is an opportunity for ordinary people to soar into the sky...
