"Mr. Feng, are you really not going back to Jiangdong? Disciple..."
Thinking of my mentor's kindness to me in the past, I couldn't help but choke up in my throat and couldn't speak.
Mr. Feng stroked my hair like a loving father, and said with a smile on his cold and arrogant face: "Qin Jian, although you and I don't have a real master-disciple relationship, we are better than master-disciple. I, Feng Er, value you as my best friend in this life."
It is the right thing to do, but I cannot go back to Jiangdong. If I go back to Jiangdong, he will kill me, and it will only affect you. You must remember that people who are possessed by demons do not have emotions."
"Master, but this disciple is reluctant to let go..." I lay on the ground, my eyes red, and I choked.
"Xuanmen needs you. There are still many things waiting for you to do. I believe you will be Xuanmen's savior. If anyone can reverse the way of heaven and turn the wheel of fate, that person must be you." Feng Er helped me up.
, said kindly.
"Disciple, please obey Master's order." I said loudly and solemnly.
"Go ahead, you've been staying here too long. In recent days, I've noticed that the stars in the north have been chaotic. I'm afraid something big will happen. You have to cheer up and forget everything here. Do you understand?"
After Feng Er finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared and merged with the colorful broken sacred stones. The sacred stones slowly condensed into a colorful statue of his old man.
I understand that he can no longer return to Xuanmen. Since Yang Liegong came out of the mountain, Mr. Feng's best choice is to become the protector of Wujiang.
I bowed respectfully to the sacred stone three times, and then I suppressed the sadness in my heart and left.
Back in the small courtyard, Hachiko was already waiting. He still held the black iron rod in his hand and was looking at the sky in deep thought.
"Qin Jian, you are back. Feng Er has told you, right?" Hachigong asked with a smile while stroking his beard.
I nodded, didn't hold back, and said straight to the point: "Hachi, was it you who saved me from Longhu Mountain, and who was the one who died?"
Hachiko smiled and said: "I knew you would come to ask about this. It was me who saved you, and the one in the bamboo house was just a substitute technique. I just didn't expect you and Wang Hu to be so suspicious."
"Why did Hachiko do this?" I asked with some confusion.
Hachigong smiled and said: "I was indeed injured when I saved you, and the old injury has not healed, but even so, within the Outer Xuanmen, except for the Sword Master and Yang Liegong, there is still no one who can beat me.
How can a royal guard kill me?"
"Then it's your original intention to find Lao Junyin?" I asked with a frown.
Hachiko glanced at me and said: "Of course it was my original intention. I used the spell method to leave a trace of my thoughts on the substitute technique, but I never thought that you, the old man, could not even trust me."
"Why this?" I still don't understand.
"Everyone needs to be tested. You must have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Your character is indecisive and lacks independent opinions. This is your fatal flaw. However, it can be seen that you have grown well now and are no longer influenced by others."
Then he cleared up his doubts and said: "I originally wanted to stay in Xuanmen to help you, but time waits for no time. There is trouble in Kunlun Mountain, so I can only go there first. There is something you don't know. The Saint Master of Yuxumen has
The other person in charge of Kunlun is the Holy Master of the Laojun Sect. Yang Liegong cannot enter Kunlun because of what I and another Holy Master did. The Kunlun Mountains are no longer peaceful and can no longer withstand such violent storms.
Yang Liegong was too ambitious. In the past, when the Purple Mountain exorcized demons, countless Xuanmen masters were killed and injured, but he hid in hiding. When the old man and the eminent monk were seriously injured, he came out to unify Xuanmen. The ambition of these people has long been obvious to the world."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You have seen the current situation. Yang Liegong still refuses to give up. Mr. Qin Jian still wants to guard Kunlun. The grudges with Yang Liegong can only be left to you, the successor. He is your Grand Master.
It can be considered as embarrassing for you." Hachiko sighed.
"Hachi, I want to know where the Soul Cone is?" I didn't hide my doubts. I knew that once he left, I might never know the secret of the Soul Cone again.
He smiled and said: "Do you know why I left a trace of regret in Longhu Mountain for you to find the Laojun Seal? Because four of the seven great artifacts are controlled by Zhuge. The Laojun Seal is the pure Yang vein of me in Zijin Mountain.
Destroyed, so you can only go and get it. Now you have the Bagua furnace, Laojun's seal, and two artifacts. As long as you grasp them well, you may not be unable to fight Yang Liegong. It's just that I left in a hurry and didn't tell you everything. It's harmful.
Master, she is also worried."
"As for the Cone of Souls, and the other two artifacts, they belong to King Qin Guang. It's useless for you to take them. I have given the Cone of Souls to Master Zhong, and I will fight with Huang Quan Zhong against this demonic chaos in Huang Quan. As for the other one,
This artifact has been lost long ago. No one knows about it except King Guang of Qin. It must be because of this that Wang Hu entered the underworld. He has developed a wise mind and can see further than you. He thinks clearly. You are not as good as him in this regard."
Hachigong caresses his beard." Hachigong explained one by one.
"What happened to the pink?" I asked.
"She was spotted by the previous generation Yunmeng. I knew that she had an old relationship with you, so I brought her soul to Kunlun and handed it over to the leader of Yunmeng. It's that simple." Hachigong said calmly.
"Any more questions?"
"I want to know what happened in Kunlun?" I asked.
Hachigong smiled and said: "It is useless to tell you now. It will only add trouble to you. When one day you are qualified to learn the Taigong secret method of Yuxu Sect, you will naturally know."
"When can I learn?" I asked.
"It will be fine once you can open all five meridians." Hachigong said.
"Now, you should understand."
All the doubts in my heart were relieved, and I felt relieved. It was not that I knew that Hachiko was willing to teach me Yuxu's magic, but that I believed that Hachiko was right. Hachiko was not the mastermind I imagined.
Sure enough, there is a saying that is right. When a person's practice reaches a certain level, the fog will disappear.
There is no so-called black hand at all, it is all my inner demons, paranoia, confusion, and indecisiveness.
Thinking of this, I smiled faintly. Maybe this is the growth path that Caihua and I must go through.
"Eight Master, my disciple's doubts have been cleared." I cupped my hands and said.
Hachigong patted my shoulder lightly and sighed: "Now that I'm gone, the Gangzi Gang has also been destroyed by traitors. It's really painful in my heart. Fortunately, you finally saved a little bit. Qin Jian, you must remember to have faith in your heart."
Only in this way can you get more help from the Tao. You have done a good job in this. You must stick to it. You must know that the way of heaven is still in the hearts of most people in this world. Evil will not prevail over good, it is the law of heaven."
"Disciple understands." I said.
Hachigong nodded and said: "I leave the matter of the Outer Xuanmen to you. When one day you can enter the Inner Xuanmen, I will personally greet you at Tianzun Valley in Kunlun Mountain."
"Disciple will definitely live up to the expectations of our ancestors." I said.
I understand that Neixuanmen refers to another Kunlun Mountain that is broader and more mysterious. Anyone who practices Taoism is proud to enter Kunlun Mountain.
What I'm even more pleased about is that Hachiko's strength seems to be recovering well.
Hachiko smiled and nodded. He knocked the iron staff in his hand on the ground, making a huge noise. Not long after, a big black eagle came from the sky, whistling twice and spiraling down, setting off a huge strong wind.
Hachigong gently landed on the eagle's back and laughed: "Qin Jian, see you in Tianzun Valley."
Soon, the big eagle became a black spot in the sky. I was still watching from afar, but there was an additional thought in my heart: Kunlun Mountain, the Neixuanmen, one day, I will step into it.
Once we entered Kunlun and were far away from the world, the Holy Master still left. Xiaoyue walked up behind me and sighed softly.
"Xiaoyue, have you ever stayed in Kunlun Mountain? What was it like?" I asked.
Xiaoyue shook her head slightly and said: "That is a more cruel world, and it is definitely not as beautiful as you think."
I gently held her hand and said, "Xiaoyue, we are going back to Jiangdong. Our opponent is the uncrowned king of Xuanmen, Yang Liegong, my Grand Master."
Of course, there is also the invincible Master Sword Master. Without crossing these two mountains, the Outer Xuanmen will never have peace.
"Don't worry, I believe that with your speed of cultivation, you will definitely surpass them soon." Xiaoyue encouraged me.
After resting for two days, nourished by the vitality of thousands of years old trees in the ancient forest, my body was almost recovered, and I said goodbye to the Guta brothers.
After bidding farewell to my mentor Feng Er, Ma Tiexin, Xiaoyue and I embarked on the road back to Jiangdong.
"Old horse, where is the Bagua furnace?" Riding on the back of the wild beast, I suddenly thought of a very serious question.
Ma Tiexin took out a small Bagua stove the size of a teacup from his pocket and handed it to me, "This is it!"
"Ah, why is it so big?" I asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, no one can use this thing except you and me. If you have skills, what else would it be called an artifact? The Bagua Furnace is the most useful auxiliary artifact among all artifacts." Ma Tiexin said.
"Then I'll be relieved. I really don't understand what the evil sect's people are robbing, and they can't do anything about it." Ma Tiexin frowned to himself.
"People's selfishness and curiosity cannot be contained, and Yang Liegong is no exception. However, the evil sect's strength has been greatly reduced this time. If I guessed correctly, his next step will be to let others steal it." I laughed.
"Steal, who will steal?" Ma Tiexin asked in surprise.
"Sooner or later you will know. I just let her down and my work was in vain this time." My heart sank and I didn't want to say more.
It was already three days after we arrived in Jiangdong, and almost a month was wasted. I arrived at the Jiangnan Guild Hall at night, and before I had time to have a sip of tea and rest, Xiang Yumeng rushed back and told me a shocking thunderbolt.
Bad news.
"Old Qin, something big happened." Xiang Yumeng opened the door and walked in with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Ma Tiexin and I asked vaguely at the same time, picking up the tea bowl and pouring it into our mouths.
"The Jin family was wiped out, and there was no one left alive in the entire Jin Family Fort." Xiang Yumeng said in a trembling voice, his eyes turning red when he said this.
"What, say it again." The tea bowl in my hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and I fell down on the chair.
"Jinjiabao was destroyed, and no one survived." Xiang Yumeng repeated sadly.
