Chapter 33 Her name is Han Qing
by SurroundedbyBooksWhen Bu Gong heard the words of Wu Likun beside him, his eyes were a little surprised; the person who could surprise Wu Likun was definitely not that simple.
Moreover, although Wu Likun did not show his true strength, it can be seen from the previous fight between Lin Xin and the two people from the Yinmo Cave that Wu Likun, who was chatting and laughing with Lin Xin, must be not much worse.
Lin Xin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also saw the person coming. A strange look flashed in his eyes: “Did the sect actually let her come here this time?” He murmured in his heart.
“Senior Brother Wu, who is this senior sister coming up ahead?” Just as everyone was staring at the gorgeous figure in front of them in a daze, a light and ethereal voice slowly sounded in the ears of Bu Gong and the others. The person who spoke was naturally Xuan Yue.
After hearing this, Wu Likun’s rough face quietly showed admiration, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a slightly vicissitudes of life tone: “You may not know that more than 20 years ago, a supreme elder of the sect went out to travel.” At this point, Wu Likun seemed to fall into deep thought again and did not speak; Bu Gong and others beside him did not make a sound to disturb him, but waited quietly.
After about a minute or two, Wu Likun said in a somewhat ethereal voice, “When the Grand Elder returned to the sect, he brought back a little girl who was only two or three years old. At that time, that little girl had shown amazing talent since she was young. She had a very strong memory.”
Bu Gong and others were also a little surprised when they heard this. It seemed that this had nothing to do with who the woman in front was, right?
Just then, Wu Likun’s voice rang in their ears again, “half a year after the little girl returned to the sect, when she was three and a half years old, she could remember everything in the sect’s books as long as she glanced through them once.” When Wu Likun said this, his tone was calm, but everyone could feel the shock hidden under that calmness.
When Bu Gong and others heard what Wu Likun said, they were all stunned; then they quietly turned their heads to look at the beautiful figure floating in front of them, as if they had seen a ghost: “This, this three and a half year old can have a photographic memory? Is this a joke? Could it be the woman in front of us?” Such thoughts popped up in the minds of all the children at the same time.
Wu Likun glanced at Bu Gong and others, and said softly: “Don’t disbelieve it, this is the fact, and there is more to it”; “Huh?” When Bu Gong heard Wu Likun’s words, a ripple appeared in his indifferent eyes: “There is more to it? Is there something else?” Thinking of this, Bu Gong looked at the graceful figure slowly walking in front of him, and was a little horrified in his heart.
“She started practicing when she was fifteen years old. After one and a half months, she reached the first level of body shaping and achieved great success. Four months later, she surpassed the first level of body shaping and reached the second level of body shaping again.” When Wu Likun said this, his voice was slightly different. He took a deep breath and continued, “After more than half a year, he directly skipped the body shaping stage and entered the Yuan-peeking realm.”
At this point, careful people would notice that Wu Likun’s voice was trembling slightly. “Huh? This, this is fucking…” When Bu Gong heard Wu Likun’s last sentence, even with his temper, he almost couldn’t help but swear.
“Her name is Han Qing, because when the Supreme Elder found her, she was wearing a jade pendant with the word ‘Han’ engraved on it around her neck; as for ‘Qing’, she must have obtained it herself later,” Wu Likun said in a dazed tone.
Xuan Yue, Bu Gong and the others fell silent after hearing Wu Likun’s words; but their hearts were filled with shocking waves. “He had a photographic memory at the age of three and a half, started practicing at the age of fifteen, and entered the Yuan-seeking realm within a year.” These information made their ears numb.
Bu Gong was still able to suppress the shock in his heart, and his face was relatively calm; but Xuan Yue, at this time, had already covered her mouth with her slender hands, and the shock in her beautiful eyes was hard to conceal, and the fullness and heaving of her chest showed her inner shock.
The two of them looked at the graceful figure getting closer and closer in front of them, with different expressions.
When Xuan Yue looked at the figure in front of her, a look of respect flashed in her eyes; but in her heart, she felt more powerless. Could she possibly match such talent? She could only look up to him.
However, a subtle change took place in the depths of Bu Gong’s dark pupils, and a hint of unyielding spirit emerged from them; “Good talent? But, so what? Although I, Bu Gong, have ordinary talent, I have an unyielding heart.”
At this time, the clouds in the sky were rolling violently and drifting endlessly, as if confirming Bu Gong’s thoughts at the moment.
Wu Likun and Lin Xin, who were standing beside Bu Gong, clearly felt an amazing willpower from Bu Gong at this moment; it was a cry from the soul, an unyielding spirit from Bu Gong, unyielding to the sky, unyielding to the earth, and unyielding to everything in the world.
However, Bu Gong was completely unaware of what was happening to him. At this moment, strange black lines appeared in the depths of his pupils, his red robe fluttered, his long hair flew in the wind, and he stood still.
The powerful will emanating from him even surprised Lin Xin and Wu Likun beside him.
At the same time, what no one noticed was that deep in Bu Gong’s soul, a transparent circular symbol was strangely and slowly condensed.
The talisman was the size of a thumb and looked a little blurry and not clear enough, as if it could be blown away by the wind; but it exuded an aura that seemed to be able to pierce the sky and make all things avoid it.
However, at this moment, the circular symbol flickered, and it looked like it could disappear at any time; and the aura on it slowly converged as the circular symbol flickered; at the same time, the will of Bu Gong standing outside also gradually weakened until it disappeared.
And this only took a moment!
At this time, Bu Gong twisted his neck slightly, and found that everyone around him was staring at him in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster; “Uh, hehe… Senior Brother Lin, what’s wrong with you?” Bu Gong was a little embarrassed at this time. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he coughed dryly and smiled awkwardly.
“You kid, what happened to you just now?” Wu Likun couldn’t keep his temper at first, and looked at Bu Gong and asked hurriedly; because he just felt an extraordinary will from Bu Gong. Although it did not pose a threat to him, it was indeed a bit weird that such an aura appeared on a kid like Bu Gong who had never joined a sect.
“Hmm? What are you referring to, Senior Brother Wu?” Bu Gong asked with a confused look. Seeing Bu Gong’s expression, Wu Likun also looked at Bu Gong with some suspicion, trying to see something from his face. However, Bu Gong’s face showed nothing but confusion and doubt. At this moment, he felt a sense of underestimation in his heart, “What a monster.”
“Well, nothing, I just noticed that you are a little abnormal.” Wu Likun rolled his eyes and responded; “Oh.” In response, Bu Gong said softly and said no more.
The two men and two women who had followed Han Qing earlier also looked at Bu Gong with a bit of strangeness in their eyes. They didn’t expect that they had just arrived and they would encounter such a strange phenomenon on Bu Gong, and it was a kid who had not even started yet.
“Is this a warning to us?” The two male disciples looked at Bu Gong with unfriendly eyes.
The two male disciples looked ordinary, but because of their practice, they had a sense of transcendence; and the two female disciples also had beautiful faces and graceful figures, and it was not an exaggeration to call them stunning.
At this time, the two men and two women came to Lin Xin and Wu Likun together, bowed to each of them, and stood aside; but the woman named Han Qing did not move at all, her eyes were calm, and when she passed by Bu Gong, there was a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes, and then she returned to her previous indifference.
“Hehe… Thank you, Junior Sister Han, for coming to support me. But I’m afraid this trip will be in vain.” Lin Xin bowed slightly and smiled softly at the woman in front of him who made the world pale in comparison.
“Brother Lin, you’re too polite. It’s okay.” A voice that sounded like the sound of nature came from the mouth of a woman named Han Qing. As this pleasant and melodious voice, comparable to the sound of an immortal, sounded, the world seemed to have more peace and tranquility in an instant, and less cruel and bloody.
Lin Xin looked at the woman in front of him, her expression as calm as ever. A hint of sadness flashed across his face, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he shook his head slightly and continued, “These children are the mortal children we recruited in Xuanhuo City this time. I believe there should be quite a few children from other cities. Now that everything is fine, let’s return to the sect.”
After hearing this, the disciples who had just arrived took action on their own. Each of them brought with them more than ten mortal children and flew away one after another.
Bu Gong and Xuan Yue, along with Lin Xin, were taken by Wu Likun and flew towards Xianyang Gate. Behind them followed another person, the woman named Han Qing who had come earlier. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, her long black hair was slightly flying in the wind, and a ribbon dotted with a hint of green on her slender waist was also dancing in the wind. She was so graceful and elegant.
The group flew for about twenty minutes before slowly landing. What caught Bu Gong’s eye was an extremely high and steep mountain. Looking up, the peak reached the clouds, towering and rugged. The entire mountain seemed to be a masterpiece of heaven, giving people a feeling of being sharp and piercing the sky.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Bu Gong felt a sense of insignificance rising from the bottom of his heart; “Aren’t we going to Xianyang Gate? How did we end up at the foot of such a mountain?” Bu Gong was secretly puzzled and looked at the mountain in front of him, but he still didn’t find a palace or a house.
The children around him were also confused and bewildered; they looked at the mountain, and awe involuntarily appeared in their eyes.
Wu Likun looked at Bu Gong and the others with puzzled expressions, then laughed loudly, waved his sleeves, and flew up again with Bu Gong and the others; then Bu Gong saw the scene in front of him changed completely, the whole scene was completely changed, the original towering peak in front of him had disappeared, replaced by a gravel path leading up the steps.
On both sides stood lush, verdant trees. ‘A path through the woods’ was the first thing that came to Bu Gong’s mind. Looking at the winding gravel path before him, a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. ‘Could this be the road to Xianyang Gate?’
In the past, there were only legendary “immortals” and the place where the so-called “immortals” lived. It is right here. If you follow the road in front of you, you will arrive.
At this moment, Bu Gong was also a little excited in his heart; because when the imaginary things really appear in front of you, even if you have a calm mind, ripples will inevitably appear.
“You are a bunch of ignorant fools, why are you standing there like an idiot? Start from here and follow this path. I tell you in advance, the end point is Xianyang Gate. As long as one of you can reach the end point of this path, that is, Xianyang Gate, before dark, you will be able to become a disciple of Xianyang Gate.” Just as Bu Gong and others were stunned, an old voice sounded in their ears.
After hearing the shout, Bu Gong and others came back to their senses. Then, Bu Gong looked around and found that the group of children who had been taken away by several other disciples of Xianyang Sect were also here.
The person who just spoke was an old man of about fifty years old. He had been standing in front of them at some point. Although he looked slightly hunched, his eyes were sparkling and there was not a trace of white in his hair.
“The end of this gravel path is Xianyang Gate?” After hearing the shout just now, Bu Gong felt a little happy in his heart. Looking at the path under his feet, he murmured in an inaudible voice.
