NOVEL NEXT Chapter 379: Jade Buddha
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing had already carried Yue Nu onto this small boat capable of traversing the desert.
Yue Nu had witnessed the Qinggong of the Joyous King.
She used to think that the Joyous King's Qinggong was unparalleled under the heavens.
Until now, she had seen Xu Qing's Qinggong.
Although the Golden Swan Skill of the Quanzhen Sect was quite renowned, it had never been considered top-tier Qinggong in the Worldly Society. Yet, after Xu Qing's demonstration, Yue Nu believed that there was no other Qinggong in the world that could compare to the Golden Swan Skill.
Like stepping on clouds, riding the wind with ease.
This was the best description of the Golden Swan Skill as performed by Xu Qing today.
The people on the boat clapped their hands in amazement and admiration.
There were not many people on the boat.
Earlier, it was a Novice Monk who had been injured by Xu Qing's Flying Needle.
The owner of the boat was an extremely handsome young monk, with a zither placed before him.
"Mysterious Monk Wuhua." Yue Nu exclaimed.
Wuhua smiled: "I didn't expect that in the Western Regions, there are still people who can recognize this little monk."
Yue Nu: "I didn't expect the legendary Mysterious Monk Wuhua to be connected with Shi Guanyin."
Wuhua smiled without speaking.
Xu Qing looked at him with his hands behind his back, "But I know why Master Wuhua is connected with Shi Guanyin."
"Oh." A subtle change appeared in Wuhua's expression.
Such a change, on someone like him, was like a storm to others.
Yue Nu realized this as well.
Could it be that her new master truly knew the relationship between Wuhua and Shi Guanyin?
This sort of thing, even her previous master, the Joyous King, probably didn't know.
Even if the Joyous King and Shi Guanyin once had a fleeting romance.
Xu Qing slowly spoke: "Master Wuhua, I know you and Shi Guanyin are mother and son."
Wuhua's expression could no longer hold, and he was shocked, "How do you know that?"
Xu Qing smiled: "There are very few things in this world that I don't know, and the Master's affairs happen not to be among them."
Wuhua: "I finally understand why Chongyang Palace is the First Generation Mystical Sect under the heavens. You people truly have the ability to calculate and foresee, don't you?"
Xu Qing said leisurely: "I also know that Master left secretly from Shi Guanyin. In other words, Master intends to keep the Heavenly Sin Sword to yourself."
Wuhua: "Does the Daoist know what I want the Heavenly Sin Sword for?"
Xu Qing: "The world says that Master Wuhua is extraordinary and detached from worldly matters. But the Master Wuhua I see has a heart for fame and fortune, like a blazing fire. You surely want to become the Abbott of this generation Shaolin Temple. Just now, you took action to test my strength."
Wuhua: "Exactly, if the Daoist couldn't handle it, I would be very disappointed. Currently, it seems I have messed up."
As he spoke, he sighed gently, "For someone like you, I'm not worthy of testing."
A high monk of world renown, saying such words, can be regarded as humble, yet also as understanding the times.
Yue Nu saw in Wuhua's demeanor a genuine sense of regret.
She thought of how she almost got killed by him and sneered: "That only shows that the Master's judgment isn't that great."
Wuhua smiled slightly: "Indeed, this is the Worldly Society, and misjudging someone always comes with a price."
As he spoke, his eyes rested on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing: "What does the Master intend to pay?"
Wuhua: "I know the residence of Shi Guanyin."
Xu Qing: "Even if you don't tell, I can still find it."
A hint of disdain appeared in Yue Nu's eyes.
This Wuhua Monk is quite ruthless, considering that the other person is ultimately his mother, yet he's willing to sell her so easily.
It's truly laughable.
But being a monk means renouncing worldly attachments, and it's not unheard of for such people to sever family ties.
Wuhua sighed: "I have a map of the Ancient City of Elegance."
Xu Qing uttered an "oh," "Let's see it."
"Alright."
Wuhua slowly took out a package from his chest.
…
…
A display of fireworks erupted in the desert.
The fireworks were released by Wuhua.
More accurately, it was a huge explosion.
Yue Nu watched with lingering fear at the boat that had been burned to ashes.
If it weren't for her master taking her off the boat in time, she would have perished in the sea of fire.
How could there be so many extraordinary and peculiar people in this world?
When Wuhua set off the fireworks, he left with his incomparable Qinggong, without taking that Novice Monk.
Thus in the sea of fire, there was a corpse of a little Novice Monk.
In fact, from the moment Xu Qing revealed the relationship between Wuhua and Shi Guanyin, the Novice Monk's death was sealed.
Yue Nu understood, if it were her, she wouldn't have let that Novice Monk live either.
This is the Worldly Society.
Having low Martial Arts doesn't necessarily mean a short life. But knowing too much usually does.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Such as Xu Qing.
He seemed to know everything.
But Yue Nu didn't think Xu Qing would have a short life.
The Joyous King also knew many secrets and evidently could live a long time.
So the premise of knowing secrets and living long is having great strength.
Xu Qing's smile remained undiminished as he said to Yue Nu beside him: "This trip to the Han Sea was worth it, we've seen the starry river in the desert and also a display of fireworks."
The grand scenes of nature always bring pleasure to people.
Yue Nu quickly agreed and then said: "But the Wuhua Monk got away, he will surely come to trouble us again."
Xu Qing shook his head: "His running away just now was because he realized the risk of facing me. Such a person, without absolute confidence or being forced into a corner, would never come looking for me again."
"Then, Master, what should we do next?"
Xu Qing: "Sleep."
…
…
The morning light had already appeared, and before Wuhua lay a beautiful sea of flowers.
He was called Wuhua, yet he liked flowers very much.
This sea of flowers was also Shi Guanyin's garden.
As always, Wuhua intended to pass through the sea of flowers to enter Shi Guanyin's abode.
But after taking a few steps inside, he stopped.
There were outsiders in the sea of flowers, and not just one.
