Chapter 376: The Secret of the Netherworld
"Go, go, the sect will not collapse for the time being with me here, don't worry~" The handsome uncle waved his hand.
But Li Yushu stood where he was, looking at the handsome uncle with some reluctance.
"Let's go, don't worry about the kid. I will find someone to help him while you are away. Besides, I am still in the sect, as are Xuan Qing and Master Kong Xuan. If he really runs into trouble, I also have my master. I don't believe he will stand by and watch him die, so don't worry!"
"As for you, you must be careful and cautious when you are in a different sect outside. Don't trust others easily. If you encounter danger, just say that you are the disciple of Bing Zun. I think few people will make things difficult for you."
The handsome uncle kept muttering, reached out to straighten Li Yushu's clothes, then turned around and walked towards the mountain alone.
"Take care, teacher~" He bent slightly and saluted the figure above.
Then, an extremely bright sword light streaked across the sky above the Yuling Sect and disappeared into the distance.
The handsome uncle looked at Li Yushu's receding figure, shook his head and sighed: "This silly child."
Chang Qing was practicing sword in the yard at the moment. Everything that happened just now fell into his eyes. The coverage of his spiritual awareness was so large that he did not expect to encounter an unexpected surprise.
Just looking at this awkward master and disciple, Chang Qing smiled.
"A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, and a teacher need not be better than his disciple. This is the truth. The handsome uncle is really stupid. He can't even say this~"
"Do you really think I'm hard of hearing?" The handsome uncle's voice came from afar.
Chang Qing smacked his lips in amazement. The physical functions of a person in the Kaihua realm were so incredibly strong that they could be heard from such a distance.
Putting away the sword, Changqing turned around to boil water and make tea, thinking that the handsome uncle had something to talk to him about.
Just now, he accidentally noticed something strange in the direction of the mountain, but that place was blocked and he couldn't detect it at all, so he simply gave up.
I saw the handsome uncle going up the mountain with the leader again, and I thought something big must have happened.
The water was boiled, and the handsome uncle came in at the right time. The moment he saw Changqing, his eyes narrowed. Changqing in his eyes had changed again, with a hint of danger lingering on his body.
"Why does this kid give me a stronger feeling than Yu Shu? Has this kid gained some insights in the past two years?" The handsome uncle thought for a while and shook his head.
"Yu Shu is about to enter the Kaihua realm. The gap between the two is too big, so it's unlikely."
He thought it was his intuition that was wrong, so he suppressed the thought in his heart.
A cup of hot tea was served, and the handsome uncle took it as a matter of course. He sat on the stone bench and thought about what Chang Qing had just said: There is no need to be inferior to the teacher, so he asked:
"A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, and a teacher need not be better than his disciple. Which Confucian book does this allusion come from?"
Changqing raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the handsome uncle who was seeking knowledge, feeling like laughing.
"Master, that book belongs to my cave. It is not here. However, Master, you can use another, easier-to-understand way to explain what you want to say to the head of the sect later..."
The handsome uncle became interested and quickly asked, "What is it?"
Then he felt that his thoughts were guessed by Chang Qing, and he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly covered up: "I am seeking knowledge, seeking knowledge~"
"The disciple surpasses the master." Changqing said directly, and became much more honest. The handsome uncle is still thinking about pretending to be cool at this age. It is true that he is old but his heart is young.
If the handsome uncle knew that Changqing was teasing him behind his back, he would beat Changqing to death. Of course, Changqing would not ask for trouble.
"The disciple surpasses the master! Wonderful!" The handsome uncle slapped the stone table, and half of the table broke into pieces.
With another awkward smile, the handsome uncle took a sip of tea to cover it up.
Changqing: This is definitely revenge!
The handsome uncle put down his teacup, looked at Chang Qing and said, "I noticed that you have never been quiet. Do you know what happened down the mountain?"
Changqing recalled that the energy at the foot of the mountain was obscured and shook his head.
It was the handsome uncle's turn to be surprised: "You don't know?"
This was a bit strange, and Changqing was also confused. He had been practicing Taoism for nearly half a month, and he had no idea what had happened in the sect.
"Does the disciple need to know?"
"Didn't you discover that Li Mengyu had spiritual roots?" The handsome uncle stopped playing tricks.
Chang Qing suddenly realized that he had never thought that Li Mengyu's spiritual roots would be tested today. It was indeed a coincidence.
"But what went wrong?" Chang Qing was also worried. Li Lin's kindness was already hard to repay, and if something unexpected happened to him, it would be even harder to repay.
Seeing Changqing's nervous look, the handsome uncle became even more curious. Changqing was the kind of person who would remain calm even when the sky collapsed in front of him. What kind of grudge between him and the father and son of the Li family could make him care so much?
"It's okay, it's just that the boy has detected dual spiritual roots that are rare in a thousand years."
Chang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly, "Dual spiritual roots, it's really unexpected, but it's a good thing, no matter for the sect or for that little family."
Hearing this, the handsome uncle thought of something and asked, "Have you ever heard of people with dual spiritual roots who are naturally compatible?"
The handsome uncle told the abnormality of Li Mengyu's spiritual roots.
Chang Qing frowned. The simple long sword and the extremely suitable scabbard did not seem like a coincidence at all.
He had some vague guesses in his mind.
The handsome uncle saw Changqing’s frown tightening and relaxing, and knew that Changqing might have the answer.
He asked impatiently:
"Boy, don't hide it. I'm not an outsider. Tell me~"
Seeing that Chang Qing was still hesitating, the handsome uncle said again: "Boy, I remember that your spiritual roots also had some patterns. Don't say you don't know at all."
Chang Qing's heart moved and he smiled bitterly. A swindler is still a swindler. He never lets go of any opportunity. Now he uses threats.
"Hey~"
"It is nothing more than the will of heaven and earth."
Changqing pointed to the sky, then to the ground.
"Heaven is selfless and would never do such a thing, but what about the earth?" Changqing's tone became heavy.
"How could the earth have consciousness, unless it is..." The handsome uncle's face changed drastically when he said this, and he looked at Changqing in shock.
"Do you think it's the legendary underworld?"
Chang Qing nodded: "To be more precise, it is reincarnation~"
“Reincarnation? Does the legendary reincarnation really exist?!” The handsome uncle’s mouth is big enough to fit an apple.
Chang Qing shrugged and spread his hands: "Reincarnation in the underworld is too illusory. No one dares to say it exists, and no one dares to say it does not exist. It is said that after becoming an immortal, one can remember the memories of the previous life. I think it should exist. It's just that we can't touch it, let alone confirm it!"
The handsome uncle sighed, feeling helpless.
"It's really too coincidental that the sword and scabbard fit so well together. I won't believe it if you say it's just chance~" Chang Qing frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
The handsome uncle also nodded. The scabbard and hilt were clearly man-made products. The matter of spiritual roots was mysterious in the first place. It seemed that there was an unknown force behind it controlling them.
"I think it seems to be related to the coming trend~" Changqing expressed his guess.
The handsome uncle was stunned: "Could it be that this life is the strongest golden trend in hundreds of thousands of years? Otherwise, how could this happen?"
Chang Qing was silent for a while, then he spoke: "If that's the case, we are still too unprepared..."
The two talked for a long time...
