Chapter 85
85 How strong am I?
At that moment, footsteps were heard from the other end of the cave.
Two whinnies
Bai Jian and Hong Ling were stunned.
At the same time, he wondered if he had heard too much.
He heard it again, and it was still two footsteps.
……
Soon after, they saw Li Chu and Gongsun Rou walk out from inside. When they arrived, they ran into two ghosts.
“Ah,” he said.
Gongsun Rou was so scared that she quickly hid behind Li Chu.
However, she suddenly remembered that Li Chu had just killed their King, so she became a little braver. She puffed out her chest and glared at the two ghostly creatures-she was still sticking close to Li Chu’s back.
Before Li Chu could say anything, Bai Jian asked with a trembling voice, ” “Yingluo, why did you guys come out?”
What really scared it was Yingying.
There were two people and a ghost in the cave. Now that the two people had come out unscathed, the problem was here.
Who was the ghost that he had just killed?
Li Chu raised his unsheathed pure yang sword and said coldly, ” “The ghostly beings in the cave have been exterminated. You guys should also be on your way.”
The two ghostly beings saw that he was holding the divine sword that was the formation’s eye and immediately guessed what had happened.
The king’s fate could be imagined, and the two ghosts couldn’t help but be scared out of their wits!
let’s take revenge for the king! Hong Ling shouted. let’s attack together!
“Alright!” Bai Jian agreed.
The two ghostly beings interacted with each other in a righteous manner, but Li Chu felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Sure enough, the next second.
The two ghostly beings retreated in unison, one to the left and one to the right, escaping in two different directions!
After all, Bai Jian was an experienced person. Compared to it, the loyal Qing Jia was as simple as a piece of white paper.
At this moment, Hong Ling was slightly disappointed. Bai Jian was indeed much more astute than the other ghost generals.
Bai Jian sneered in his heart. You want me to die and stop the little Daoist so that you can have time to escape? Hehe, I won’t be fooled!
But,
When Li Chu saw the two ghostly creatures running away in different directions, he quickly chose one of his targets, and that target was Bai Jian.
The reason was simple. It was stronger than Hong Luan.
The stronger the ghost, the higher the experience points.
Li Chu, who had just advanced to level 75, was using the divine weapon pure yang sword that he had just obtained. He had the drive that he had just gained from killing the ghost king.
The sword slashed down.
Roar–
A Red Dragon whizzed out, and the rainbow light was like flames. It was like a waterfall in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed Bai Jian’s bone body.
“Uh, hehe.”
A few hours ago, the ghost commander had declared that he could defeat Li Chu, but he couldn’t even withstand a single strike and was shattered in the air.
However, this wasn’t embarrassing.
At least to Li Chu, Bai Jian and the ghost king were on the same level.
From this perspective, it was enough for Bai Jian to be proud.
Meanwhile, Hong Luan had taken advantage of this opportunity to fly out of the cave and disappeared into the vast night. It was difficult to catch up to her.
Li Chu frowned.
Immediately, there was a thud.
At the place where Bai Jian died, something seemed to have fallen to the ground.
He walked over. In the huge pit created by the sword Qi, although Bai Jian’s bone body had completely shattered, there was only a square bone the size of a palm that fell to the ground.
An item dropped?
Li Chu picked it up and held it in his hand. It was cool and smooth, and it felt very comfortable. It looked like white jade and porcelain at the same time, completely different from the scary thing that was bones.
Although he didn’t know what it was, he felt that it was very valuable.
Li Chu kept the item and planned to ask his master about it.
He and Gongsun Rou stepped out of the cave again, and they heard a burst of shouts from outside the cave.
It seemed that Hong Luan had not gone far?
Li Chu hurried over.
He saw two beautiful figures engaged in an intense battle on a Bare Mountain peak made of black rocks.
On one side was a red-clothed Phantom. Her figure was fleeting and she had a sinister aura. She was Hong Luan. On the other side was a light green dress with a veil covering her face. The veil seemed to have been cast with a divine ability. Even as it turned and moved, it did not float up at all.
When Li Chu saw the figure, he was a little surprised and muttered, ” “Miss Bi Luo?”
That’s right, the woman who had kept Hong Luan was none other than lady bi Luo, the woman who had refused to show her face in full spring restaurant.
Li Chu had felt that there was something strange about her.
Only today did he learn that she was a cultivator and her cultivation was not weak.
Bi Luo’s hand seals were constantly changing, and each time she changed, an ice wall would appear in the sky.
Up or down, left or right, they always blocked Hong Luan’s path.
Hong Luan was in a hurry to escape and was annoyed by her. After several times, she finally shouted, ” “If you dare to stop me again, I’ll kill you!”
In a fit of anger, the painted skin in Red’s five fingernails grew rapidly, flashing with a cold light, like long scissors waving. Every time he swung, a few shadow blades that were almost invisible in the night would fly out.
Bi Luo wasn’t afraid at all. She waved her right sleeve, and a tall ice wall appeared in front of her. When the sharp shadow blades hit the wall, they could only produce a series of clanking sounds, but couldn’t penetrate it.
Hong Ling’s body was like a gust of wind as she rushed forward. She separated her hands and broke the ice wall with a crack.
However, there was nothing behind the ice wall.
“What?” Hong Luan let out a cry of surprise.
Above its head, an extremely bright and cold glint suddenly flashed in the gloomy moonlight.
Hong Luan didn’t even raise her head to look. Almost relying on the instinct that she had accumulated for hundreds of years, she flipped her body in the air and dodged the sword light that slashed past her chest.
If it had reacted a little slower, it would have been cut in half. Even if its chest had protruded by an inch, the consequences would have been too horrible to imagine.
Bi Luo was hiding in the broken ice, perfectly concealing her body. Then, she suddenly summoned her flying sword and attacked him ruthlessly.
Hong Luan was not in the mood to continue fighting. She had already realized that Li Chu was looking at her because every hair on her body was standing on end!
This was the kind of terror that only the little Daoist priest could bring to it.
Immediately, it pulled on its collar and made a whooshing sound.
In a flash, bi Luo’s sword light fell again and pierced through its body, making a clear sound of silk tearing.
However, bi Luo didn’t continue to thrust her sword, because she knew it was fake.
The Golden Cicada shed its shell.
Hong Luan had already taken off her skin and escaped with her true body while everyone’s attention was attracted!
It would have been too late if bi Luo had raised her eyes to look. However, she had determined Hong Luan’s position with just a sweep of her divine sense. Then, she activated her sword technique and raised the tip of her sword.
Under the moonlight, the long sword in her hand looked beautiful and long. It was as thin as a cicada’s wing and as transparent as ice, but it also flickered with a dangerous aura.
Xiu-
A silver-white sword Qi shot out and hit Hong Luan’s real body.
Crack-
Hong Luan’s true body was instantly frozen, and the layers of ice became thicker and thicker, not giving her the slightest chance to escape.
Through the transparent ice, the few of them saw the true appearance of the painted skin for the first time.
Its entire face was covered in hideous scars and broken wounds, and its facial features and outline were almost indistinguishable.
In short, it was ugly.
It was indescribably ugly.
No wonder it was so insistent on plundering other people’s bodies.
It didn’t die immediately after being sealed in ice. It seemed to be extremely frightened as its eyes rolled around madly.
Li Chu raised his sword without saying a word, and a pillar of sword Qi descended from the sky like a punishment from the heavens.
BOOM!
Bi Luo’s pupils involuntarily shrank when she saw the thick beam of sword Qi.
She looked at Li Chu in surprise.
Li Chu looked back at her in embarrassment and a stream of experience points quietly entered his body.
This behavior was clearly snatching his kill. It was embarrassing, but
I need to develop.
Bi Luo’s toes lightly moved, and her entire body flew over, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Li Chu decided that if bi Luo pursued the matter of snatching his head, he would apologize.
However, it was obvious that he was the only one in the world who would care about this Yingying.
I didn’t expect Daoist priest Li Jr. ‘S cultivation to be so amazing, ” bi Luo said softly. it’s really an eye-opener.
Seeing her being so polite, Li Chu also replied politely, ” “I also didn’t expect that Miss Bi Luo was a cultivator, and her cultivation is also exquisite.”
“Hehe, it’s nothing.” Bi Luo shook her head slightly.
Li Chu asked again,”Miss Bi Luo, why are you afraid?”
this ghostly being had once spied on me in secret. She thought I didn’t know, but I had actually sensed it long ago. I was curious and followed her for a few days.
Bi Luo said,”I witnessed the whole process of this young lady being kidnapped and them entering this cave. However, there’s a powerful ghost in this cave that I don’t dare to enter. It’s called bi an.”
“I stayed here to see if I could find a chance to save her. I didn’t expect little Daoist priest li to enter the cave and rescue her so easily.”
“I was thinking of leaving when I was outside, but I happened to see this ghost escape. It no longer had any helpers, so I dared to deal with it without worry.”
“That’s how it is.”
“If little Daoist priest li still wants to ask something else, please forgive me for not being able to tell you, Zhenzhen.”
She chuckled and said the last sentence.
Li Chu understood what she meant. As for why she had cultivation, why she had hidden in full Spring House, and what her purpose in Yuhang Town was, it was a secret that could not be known to outsiders.
In fact, he was not curious.
“In any case, thank you for your help, Miss Bi Luo,” he nodded.
“It’s fine. It’s within my seniority to exterminate demons and protect the Dao.” Miss Bi Luo nodded slightly. little Daoist priest li, we will meet again.
After saying that, her body flew up lightly again, like a Swan under the moon, floating in the air.
Gongsun Rou looked at her back with some admiration and asked,”Little Daoist priest li knows this girl.”
“We’ve met once,” “She’s the most popular prostitute in spring brothel,” Li Chu replied.
“Ah?” These words made Gongsun Rou somewhat surprised.
Was the threshold of Xuanji brothel already so high?
……
The next day.
Yu Qi ‘an got up early as usual. He sat under the locust tree and beside the well, sipping his newly brewed tea.
Now, he didn’t need to do something as trivial as making tea. The Fox girl would take care of everything.
Compared to the adorable koi fish, the Fox girl was much more alert.
She knew how to please people, how to observe people’s expressions, how to remember everyone’s preferences, and how to cater to them.
He even specially went to learn some good tea-making skills.
Li Chu woke up early and went out. Seeing his master sitting there as usual, he suddenly felt a little relieved.
He walked over and sat opposite Yu Qi ‘an.
“Master, I have a few more questions to ask.” He said directly.
“Hehe, just say it.” Yu Qi ‘an put down his teacup and smiled.
“Does master recognize this item?”
Li Chu took out the bone Jade from Bai Jian’s body from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
“Oh?” Yu Qi ‘an’s eyes were filled with interest.”This is non-melting bone.”
“Not melting?”
“That’s right. You must have obtained it from a skeleton that had cultivated, right?” Yu Qi ‘an asked.
“Yes, I am.” Li Chu nodded.
Yu Qi ‘an nodded and said, ” that’s it. The more you cultivate, the harder the bones become. When you reach the highest level, the bones will not melt. However, this unmelted bone could only be refined piece by piece. Although it was only a palm-sized piece, it would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years of effort. If it’s allowed to cultivate its entire body of non-melting bones, it’ll be invincible to the heavens and earth!”
Li Chu listened to him describe the item in such a powerful manner. He leaned his shoulder forward slightly and asked, ” “Then this item is a Kasaya.”
After a pause, Yu Qi ‘an seemed to have seen through his disciple’s mind and asked on his behalf,”Is it valuable?”
“Ha.” Li Chu sneered.
“The unmelting bone Kasaya is not very useful, but if it meets a customer, it is also a priceless treasure. For example, if a martial artist wanted to change his bones or a puppeteer wanted to make a puppet, he would need to fuse this piece of bone with it. It would definitely be the finishing touch. Hmm, you can keep the Kasaya for now. It won’t be too late to sell it in the future if you have the opportunity.” “If we take it to those immortal sects” pawnshops now, I’m afraid the price will be very high,”Yu Qi ‘an pointed out.
“Alright,” he said. Li Chu nodded and kept the Grand Lich.
After saying this, the air fell silent for a moment.
“Don’t you still have a question?” Yu Qi ‘an took another sip of tea.
“Indeed,” Li Chu hesitated for a moment before asking, ” “Master, I want to ask how strong I am?”
“Oh?” Yu Qi ‘an seemed to smile, but his left eyelid twitched imperceptibly. why do you suddenly want to ask this? ”
“Because I used to think that I was very weak, but after these days of exorcism, it seems that I’ve never been a match for Xuanji.”
Li Chu said slowly. There was no need to be humble in front of his master.
“I can’t see his cultivation level if I only fight with the evils. However, if the disciples of Chaotian Palace and the outstanding disciples of shenxu temple can’t deal with the evil, it’s easier for me to deal with it. ”
“That’s why I’m curious and want to ask you, master, what realm am I at now?”
Li Chu asked seriously.
He had been thinking about this question for a while.
Originally, he had been carefully killing the lantern monsters on the ten Mile slope and had been Living a Good Life.
However, those seemingly terrifying evil spirits jumped out one by one and were killed by him one by one.
He felt awkward.
This seemed to be similar to the lantern monster Pixiu?
If they weren’t weak, then they must be trying to challenge me.
Yu Qi ‘an was silent for a while. He looked at Li Chu meaningfully and asked, ” “Let me ask you first, if we follow your previous plan, what do you plan to do?”
Li Chu thought for a moment and said,”I’ll go to the Hangzhou Prefecture and buy two properties. I’ll wait for them to appreciate in value.” Then, I’ll buy two more, and wait for their value to appreciate before buying again, and then I’ll wait again.”
Yu Qi ‘an smiled. then, Qianqian, if you are invincible, what are you going to do? ”
“Invincible?” “How invincible?” Li Chu was stunned.
“The very exaggerated kind.” Yu Qi ‘an said.
After asking this, he lowered his eyes slightly. His eyes were blocked by his eyelids and he could not see at all.
It was unfathomable.
He seemed to be smiling, but his right hand was hidden in his sleeve, as if he was holding something.
He was nervous.
Li Chu pondered this question for a long time.
After a long while, he slowly said,”a wise man with the surname Lu once said,”
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
“If I have great power, I would naturally want to wipe out all the evil spirits in the world, eradicate all the evil monastic beasts in the world, and save some money at the same time.”
“But if Qianqian is invincible, some things can’t be solved by violence. In other words, this level of violence will not only not solve some problems, but will also cause many more problems.”
with the existence of absolute violence, even if my heart is righteous, even if I can live forever, I may not be able to make the world a better place.
because as long as this power exists, it will inevitably form an uncontrollable vortex of power around this power.
it might be better to let the world operate according to its original laws. At least, a trajectory like this is foreseeable, and the world will form better and better laws.
the rules of constant evolution are far more reliable than absolute violence dominated by human nature.
“So, as long as the human world doesn’t encounter a destructive disaster, I probably won’t appear. Hiding in the marketplace or finding a place isolated from the world to spend the rest of his life might be the best choice.”
Li Chu answered as he pondered.
The smile on Yu Qi ‘an’s face gradually became brighter.
“You’ve said it very well. I’m very gratified.” He said.
Li Chu was happy to receive his master’s praise, but he was a little embarrassed.
“What about the disciple’s question?”
“What’s the problem?”
just how strong am I? ” Li Chu repeated.
“I don’t know,” Yu Qi ‘an shook his head.
“Ah?” Li Chu was surprised.
“Just like Yingluo, do you know how strong I am?” Yu Qi ‘an asked.
Li Chu shook his head.
that’s plain. Your way of cultivation is very different from everyone else in the world. In fact, I couldn’t see through you since a long time ago. “However, as long as you maintain your heart and uphold the right path, there’s nothing wrong with it, right?” Yu Qi ‘an smiled.
uphold the righteous path of Tao tie, ” Li Chu muttered thoughtfully.
“I really like what you said just now. With great power comes great responsibility. Your current abilities may be very strong, but it’s still unclear. What kind of responsibility are you prepared to take on?” Yu Qi ‘an asked.
well, if that’s the case, I want to spread the name of deyun temple throughout the entire Hangzhou Prefecture. Li Chu raised his eyebrows and said loudly.
“Oh? That won’t be easy.”
“Indeed, but I’ve heard Li Xinyi say a few times that the heavenly Palace doesn’t have enough manpower in the Hangzhou Prefecture, and the sects in the prefecture charge expensive fees. Many of the surrounding villages and towns needed help. I was thinking that after Yuhang Town has settled down, if we have the energy to help the people of the entire Hang Zhou Prefecture, they would be very happy.”
Yu Qi ‘an nodded slowly and smiled.
“Good,”
……
Yu Qi ‘an only moved after Li Chu had left the front hall for a long time.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, and his right hand trembled as he took it out of his sleeve. He was holding something tightly.
So it turns out that
It was a picture book.
“I was almost caught by this kid. I have to be more careful next time.”
He muttered as he flipped open the cover of the album, his eyes gradually revealing a luster.
He saw four big words on the cover of the album: fly, flower, beauty, and think.
