The morning sun was bright, and Xu Changqing felt great after a night. A refreshing fragrance lingered around his nose.
"Senior Hu, Brother Jing, we should..."
What caught his eye was actually the face of that girl, Zi Xuan. The peach blossoms were exceptionally red.
"Girl, how did I end up here? I'm really sorry, girl. It might be that Changqing..." He thought and thought, trying to remember what happened last night, but he couldn't remember anything.
Zi Xuan smiled gently, "You don't remember what happened last night?"
"Wha, what happened? Girl, please don't joke. Changqing is a monk and would never do anything disgraceful."
Xu Changqing said firmly, his eyes showing no desire.
Zi Xuan angrily questioned, "Then what were you just doing?"
"I... Changqing is ashamed of the girl. If the girl doesn't mind, Changqing is willing to..."
"Get married?"
"Become sworn brothers."
Zi Xuan slapped Xu Changqing in the face and turned to leave, "You disgusting man! None of you men are any good, except for that senior!"
"This... Why did you hit me? What did Changqing do wrong? Girl? Girl!?"
Zi Xuan ignored him. The Holy Aunt would be looking for her soon. Moreover, he actually said he wanted to become sworn brothers with me! I haven't been this angry in years.
What an idiot!
...
Inn
Xu Changqing humbly sought advice, telling everyone what happened.
Long Kui and Mao Mao were okay, their minds being relatively simple. Xue Jian, wanting to maintain her image in front of Young Master Hu, tried to hide her laughter.
Swain and Jing Tian were holding their sides, laughing so hard they were about to pass out.
"Pfft hahaha! White, White Tofu, how could you, could you, come up with such a method? Old Qingwei told me you hadn't suffered, and I didn't believe it. Now it seems you haven't experienced anything."
Swain wiped away his tears of laughter, "Changqing, I just want to say, having met so many people, this is the first time I've met someone as talented as you. Zi Xuan was practically naked in front of you, and you told her you wanted to become sworn siblings???
I can't take it anymore hahaha!"
As agreed, the Holy Aunt arrived at the door of their room.
Hearing the joyous laughter, she frowned. What was going on?
"Is anyone there?"
Swain took a deep breath and patted his face, "Changqing, go open the door. The Holy Aunt from the Nvwa Temple is here."
"Changqing greets you, Holy Aunt."
The Holy Aunt couldn't help but be curious, "What were you all laughing about just now?"
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
"Ahahaha! Changqing, explain it to her."
Xu Changqing scratched his head, "It's like this, last night, Zi Xuan and I may have had intimate contact while I was unconscious. But Changqing is a monk and cannot marry, so I decided to become sworn brothers with Zi Xuan, and they laughed... Holy Aunt, why are you laughing too? You're all being too much. Please tell Changqing what I did wrong?"
The Holy Aunt had two reasons for laughing.
One was that she genuinely found Xu Changqing to be a talent.
The second was that she was confident she would win the bet.
"Stop laughing. I'm here to awaken Jing Tian's memories from his previous life. Put on the helmet."
"You can also see by holding hands."
Xu Changqing reached out his hand and looked at Swain.
Swain shook his head. "No need. I know."
Long Kui also didn't hold hands, but just sat opposite, quietly watching her brother.
The Holy Aunt cast her spell.
Jing Tian's memories returned to the Jiang Kingdom.
Long Yang was born, with auspicious omens from the heavens.
He gave Long Kui a flowing silk dress.
He slid down the slide with Long Kui.
He forged a sword with Long Kui.
He broke Long Kui's legs and went to face the enemy alone.
Long Kui jumped into the sword-forging furnace alone, waiting for a thousand years...
To be honest, Chinese Paladin 3 was the first time I believed that love, family, and friendship could transcend time, space, and the realms of gods and humans. Several lifetimes of waiting, just for a good ending.
The truth is, children are just a bonus gift.
Poor Qing'er couldn't even speak and was frozen for over a hundred years.
Opening his eyes again, Jing Tian's gaze and expression had changed. He finally understood why this girl would rather break her legs than follow him, why she called him brother.
"Long Kui, sister."
"Brother..."
Xu Changqing was deeply moved, "Brother Jing Tian, Miss Long Kui, Changqing has a way to exchange blood, so that Miss Long Kui can walk in the sunlight."
Swain raised an eyebrow at the Holy Aunt, "You lost."
The Holy Aunt sighed, "I lost, but I don't understand, what benefit do you get from doing this for them?"
Swain smiled without saying a word. In his heart, he was just trying to make up for a regret.
Like the song says, looking back, it's not far away.
"It's just one lifetime, no rush. Go back and tell Zi Xuan, we'll meet openly."
"A bet is a bet."
The Holy Aunt left. Xu Changqing was sensitive and felt like Senior Hu was betting on him. But it also seemed like he was doing it for his own good.
"Changqing, tidy up. You slept so well last night, aren't you going to put in some extra effort today?"
Xu Changqing's face turned red.
He turned around and went back to pack his belongings.
The Earth Spirit Orb was in the Ancient Vine Forest, in the hands of the Ancient Vine Demon.
This demon was too weak, so weak that it didn't arouse any interest. Jing Tian, the demon sword, took him out alone.
The Goblin in the first level was quite interesting. Flying Dragon Hand, Lee Han Kong was an ancestor of Lee Xiao Yao. Goblin Dad passed this Flying Dragon Hand to Jing Tian, Jing Tian passed it on to his disciple Lee San Si, and then Lee San Si passed it on to Lee Xiao Yao.
So, if I told Jing Tian not to pass it on or not to learn it, wouldn't Lee Xiao Yao have one less skill?
Since you bullied me at the beginning, I have to make sure you have one less skill.
"Roar!"
"Slap!"
"Waaah... It's boring, not fun, why are you hitting me?"
Goblin, a guy who doesn't grow if you pat his head.
Swain fiercely ruffled his fur. "Good boy, how about a bet?"
Goblin didn't tilt his head. "Don't touch my head, I won't grow taller! Huh? What bet?"
Swain silently took out two bells.
"Can't you steal things? As long as you get the bells, I'll play with you here, for as long as you want. But if you can't get them, pass on the Flying Dragon Hand to him. You don't want Lee Han Kong's legacy to be cut off, do you?"
Goblin agreed without thinking, still haven't learned the hard way through this life. "Okay! But you have to let me know where the bells are."
Swain took a step back, "Look carefully, I'm putting them right here, come on, steal them."
"Then you're sure to lose!"
Monkeys are very agile. If Swain isn't trying to kill him, Goblin might get close.
But...
"Shinra Tensei!"
You can't get close to me, what are you going to do?
A strong repulsive force perfectly isolated Goblin five meters away. "You're cheating! I'm not playing anymore, I'm leaving!"
"Want to leave? Bansho Tenin!"
Goblin's eyes lit up. An opportunity has come.
Swain grabbed Goblin in his hand, "Even though you're a monkey, you can't cheat."
Goblin smiled cheekily, "Ding ding! I got them."
"Wow, amazing. This is the first time I've seen the boss get tricked."
Swain was extremely embarrassed. They say monkeys are smart, but he didn't expect to be tricked by one.
"Okay, you win. I'll leave a clone to play with you, okay?"
Goblin shook his head and pointed at Jing Tian, "No, boy, come here. I'll teach you the Flying Dragon Hand."
Jing Tian was puzzled. "Me? Didn't we lose?"
Goblin turned his head away, humming softly, A proud little monkey is acting like a spoiled brat. "I lost at first. If you guys don't cheat, I won't cheat either. Besides, I don't want my master's signature technique to be lost."
Xue Jian really liked this furry thing and fiercely ruffled it, "You're so cute!!"
Goblin jumped and protested, "Don't touch my head! I won't grow taller!"
Swain smiled. "He's hundreds of years old, give him some face."
"Oh..."
Goblin said to Jing Tian solemnly, his face now devoid of laughter, "Remember, your master is the Thief of Shu Ba, Lee Han Kong!"
Although Jing Tian didn't quite understand, since he was going to pass on his skills, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Disciple greets Master."
...
The second level is the Ancient Vine Elder
An old man who can read minds
"Haha! Gentlemen, please stop."
Swain's eyes flashed.
"Please come in."
"???"
"???"
"???"
Jing Tian asked weakly, "Can I ask why?"
The Ancient Vine Elder laughed to cover up his embarrassment. "I just read that if I didn't agree, this gentleman would set me on fire. Although I can see a little of the future, I'm still very practical."
Swain glanced at the old man with appreciation. Not bad, not bad, you know what's good for you.
"I'll chat with this old guy for a while. Changqing, make me some tea. Jing Tian, you take care of the Ancient Vine Monster. If you can't beat him, let him die."
Xu Changqing found it difficult, "This..."
"Don't worry, that thing is very weak."
Xu Changqing silently accepted, "Alright then. But Senior, what I want to say is not this, but that I didn't bring any tea."
Jing Tian had a bitter face. Can't you ask me for my opinion? "Boss? You?"
"Ah, it doesn't matter. It's mainly to test Jing Tian. What are you still doing here?! Get in there!"
"Yes!"
Compared to the Ancient Vine Monster, he was even more afraid of Swain.
Jing Tian, Long Kui, Xue Jian, and Mao Mao went in to fight the monster.
Swain and Xu Changqing sat here chatting with the Ancient Vine Elder.
Mainly Swain
He was very interested in this old man who could see a little of the future, "Tell me, old man, you won't stop reading minds just because I'll kill you, will you?"
The Ancient Vine Elder laughed. "Young friend is indeed extraordinary. There is a golden light in your body, and also a pure demonic energy. I wouldn't dare to stop you."
Hearing this, Swain understood.
The Emperor of Heaven gave him a pass, and the Demon Lord also sent him a batch of demonic energy. No matter how awesome this old man is, he wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to both of them.
Swain asked again, "Then can you see my future?"
The Ancient Vine Elder shook his head, "It cannot be said, it cannot be said."
"No fun. How about this, let me ask you, can the Sea God Temple see my future?"
The Ancient Vine Elder didn't speak, but made an OK gesture.
"Old guy is pretty trendy. By the way, there's a monkey outside, can't you two play together? Why do you need someone to chat with you?"
The Ancient Vine Elder wiped his tears aggrievedly, "It thinks the old man is boring and won't play with me."
As he was talking, an earthen-yellow bead suddenly flew out.
"Changqing."
"Yes!"
Without Swain even needing to remind him, Xu Changqing quickly and deftly grabbed the Earth Spirit Orb into his arms.
