Chapter 611 The Method
A spiritual feast was quickly set up at the Mount of Great Holy Boy.
Lu Xuan invited Su Li to take the seat, and then he sat down.
Gong Dadan sat beside Lu Xuan, huddling under the table like a quail. She was blus.h.i.+ng with shame.
It was so ashamed to pretend to her idol when this idol was just in front of her!
So ashamed!
Seeing that Gong Dadan refused to come out from the table, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head reluctantly. He raised his head and apologized, “Grand Elder Su, I’m so sorry for that. Dadan is very naughty and ignorant. If she offends you, I hope you can forgive her.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Su Li smiled lightly, “If she hadn’t help me, I couldn’t have entered your sect silently. If any trace is left, those henchmen of Fate Palace would follow it to find me.”
Lu Xuan gave a serious look and said in a solemn voice, “Our old ancestor has always been interested in discussing with you. Please stay here today. I will notify the old ancestorto end his isolation and meet with you.”
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
Su Li nodded slightly and glanced at Gong Dadan, “What’s her ident.i.ty in Shengxue Sect? Who named her?”
Lu Xuan said with a smile, “Dadan is the niece of Grand Elder Qing. She grows up with me, but she is naughty and doesn’t practice hard. She got her name from her biological parents. I don’t know why they gave her this name.”
“I’m just curious.”
After drinking a cup of wine, Su Li said slowly, “This girl is very cute. Could you let her stay with me for a day?”
“Really!”
Gong Dadan came out from the table. Her eyes were bright and burning with surprise.
Lu Xuan felt amused and helpless, “Hurry to express your grat.i.tude toGrand Elder Su. It is your blessing to get her guidance, and ordinary people can never get it.”
“Thank you, Grand Elder Su!”
Gong Dadan said and smiled broadly.
After a while, the feast ended. Gong Dadan took Su Li to the guest house with the highest specifications.
“It turns out that you are Senior Su. I’m really too obtuse.”
Gong Dadan stuck out her tongue, and her face was reddish. She looked lovely.
“It’s okay. I originally thought you were a kidnapper or a swindler. But facing the killers of Xiuluo Sect, you stood out bravely. Although you are stupid, I still admire you.”
Gong Dadan’s face became redder.
Su Li looked at her, knowing that this girl was not defensive against her. She asked casually, “You said that you had gone into the Reincarnation Mirror. Do you remember what happened there?”
“Of course, I remember!”
Gong Dadan said confidently. But then she whispered embarra.s.sedly, “Actually, I swindled somebody out of this Personal Porcelain.”
Su Li was slightly surprised and then gave a quizzical look.
Gong Dadan was ashamed and continued, “Please don’t laugh at me. I don’t like practice, but I love deception! I have learned a lot of secret skills after deceiving for so many years. Some fools of holy sects were gypped by me. More than 1,200 years ago, I gypped the Personal Porcelainand sneaked into the Reincarnation Mirror.
You are young and have never been to the Reincarnation Mirror, but it does not matter. There is nothing interesting about the world inside, and all events in it will change in lockstep with the protagonists’ actions. The others are secondary, like me…”
Gong Dadan continued aggrievedly, “In the beginning, I didn’t know where the protagonists were. So, I didn’t keep up with the main force, and I didn’t even play the supporting role. At most, I was a pa.s.serby who didn’t show up. Later, my aunt discovered me, and she forcibly let me out. I wandered in the Reincarnation Mirror, and I didn’t become a person. So, I didn’t die, and I could remember everything.”
Su Li nodded slightly, “The journey in the Reincarnation Mirror is really not good for you. Your aunt is right to do this.”
Gong Dadan became unhappy, “If Gong Family hadn’t looked down on my aunt, I wouldn’t have had to gyp the Personal Porcelain. It’s their fault.”
“Gong Family?” Su Li narrowed her eyes and continued, “Gong Family of the holy sect?”
“Yes, my aunt and I belonged to Gong Family. Later, I didn’t know what happened to them. My aunt took me out of Gong Family and came here.”
Gong Dadan nodded and explained, “I heard that Gong Family also sent talents to the Reincarnation Mirror. They were called Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun respectively. Both of them were hundreds of years older than me. They came out of the Reincarnation Mirror alive. But later, they turned against each other, and then those two internecine sisters were killed by a latecomer. They deserved it!”
Gong Dadan covered her mouth and smiled, “These two persons are probably the most miserable talents who survived in the Reincarnation Mirror.”
“Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun…”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She naturally remembered these two people. To be precise, she remembered all the people who had come into contact with her in the Reincarnation Mirror. Even Tianxing Valley could not fully record the status of all survivors.
Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun might be too unnoticeable to be registered by Tianxing Valley.
Knowing the truth, Su Li stopped asking about the Reincarnation Mirror. Then Su Li taught Gong Dadan some secret methods in return for her help.
Time pa.s.sed extremely fast. The next day, the Great Holy Boy Lu Xuan came as scheduled.
“Senior Su, please come with me.”
Lu Xuan led the way while saying, “Shengxue Sect is similar to Tianhe Holy Sect. It belongs to a family. Its core elder and the Grand Elder have the same surname, Lu. But there are exceptions, such as Dadan’s aunt who is an outsider but also is wors.h.i.+pped as a Grand Elder of our sect…”
Lu Xuan briefly introduced Shengxue Sect, and after a short while, they stopped in front of an ice cave covered with ice and snow.
“Elder Chun is the Grand Elder of Shengxue Sect, who always practices in isolation to delay aging. He has woken up this morning and waited for you for a while. I will not enter. Senior Su, please come on in.”
Su Li nodded and stepped into the dim ice cave.
The ice cave was not very deep. After dozens of breaths, Su Li saw a rickety old man in a white robe sitting on the Xuanbing futon with white beard and hair.
In front of the white-robed old man, there was a newly placed Xuanbing futon.
Su Li walked closer and sat down cross-legged. Then she said respectfully,
“Senior, I’m Su Jiuzhou. Nice to see you.”
The misted eyes of the white-robed old man turned with Su Li’s movements. His lips didn’t move at all, but his voice came from the ice cave.
“Skip the formalities, Su Jiuzhou. Except for the realm, your power rivals that of mine. We are peers. So, don’t call me the senior.”
Su Li narrowed her eyes. Then she smiled and nodded.
“Elder Chun, you are of great insight.”
Lu Chun waved his shriveled right hand, “I’m old, and I can’t improve my cultivation. When I’m bored, I would like to learn some other skills. It’s better than nothing.”
As he said, he waved his hand to conjure up a stone surface covered with ice and snow, on which several plates of pastries were frozen solidly.
“This is the unique spiritual sorbet of Shengxue Sect. You ought to try some.”
“Elder Chun, thank you.”
Su Li drew a sorbet that was as hard as iron from the ice and snow, and held it in her hand, “The elders are all wise and sophisticated. Elder Chun, you should have guessed my purpose of visiting Shengxue Sect this time.”
“It’s nothing more than Fate Palace.”
Lu Chun drooped his eyelids, “Fate Ancestor acts against the trend of time and common sense. We, Shengxue Sect, have never a.s.sociated with him. Fortunately, your Ni Sect appeared. The people in Chimo Circle are pathetic. It’s a pity that we Shengxue Sect cannot decide whether they leave or stay. Our words don’t matter. Thanks to Old Ancestor Chi Tian, Qingshui Circle hasn’t been completely occupied by Fate Palace.”
“It seems that you know a lot about Fate Palace.”
“Of course, we hate each other. I know him well.” Elder Chun felt a little worried, “Although you have gained a firm foothold for the time being, but…the jade token of the first of Tianjiao List is only temporary. There must be other ways. Only to scare Fate Palace can Ni Sect survive.”
Today, Lu Chun said the most words in in a thousand years. Since he met the right person, he was willing to expend his efforts and give advice to the new force.
“Elder Chun, what you said is absolutely right.”
Su Li said humbly, “I rushed to visit your sect for two purposes. One is to ask your seniors for advice. The other is to investigate clearly how many holy sects are on our side.”
“Shengxue Sect depends on the foundation left by our old ancestorsto make Fate Palace scared. But your Ni Sect doesn’t have that. I can answer you another question.”
Chun Lao coughed, and he transmitted the sound, “The sects that oppose Fate Palace are much less than you think. There are fifty holy sects standing on Fate Palace’s side openly. But there are still some holy sects which serve Fate Palace secretly. If you want to verify it, you should be very careful. I’m sure that…Fenglei Holy Sect and Tianhe Sect…will never betray Qing… Hack…hack…”
Lu Chun suddenly coughed violently. Su Li hurriedly stepped forward to send him the pneuma of Ghost Valley. And then the Reincarnation Mirror turned slightly to s.h.i.+eld the nature’s mystery for a moment.
Lu Chun discovered that the reversed effect resulted from leaking the nature’s mystery forcibly just had quickly subsided. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Li with a different look.
“You…”
“Here is not Tianxing Valley. Elder Chun, why bother to infuriate nature’s mystery? We should keep something in our minds. The old man, Bai Su, has said that very clearly.”
“You… Do you know Senior Bai?” Lu Chun was overjoyed, “Is he still alive?”
Su Li was surprised, “It seems that you haven’t been out for a long time. The relations.h.i.+p between him and me is pretty good.”
“He even told you that. My goodness!”
Lu Chun lost in thought. Originally, he was only pleased that there were successors to fight against Fate Palace. He would help based on the premise of not consuming Shengxue Sect’s foundation. But now…
Lu Chun’s misted eyes seemed to be a little clearer, and he watched Su Li silently for a moment. Then he suddenly transmitted the sound again, “Actually, Fate Ancestor is not as difficult as you think to be defeated. As long as you can master the method to cope with the natural law! My Shengxue Sect always relies on the ancient nature curb left by our ancestors. Would you like to learn it?”
