"Senior brother, have you been here a long time ago?"
Sikong Hong's eyes were slightly closed, with a cold glow, and he immediately smiled and said: "Sure enough, he is a smart person. I guessed it right. Yes, I returned to Wu Jing half an hour ago. Master
This talisman edict came into my hands a day ago. But I deliberately saw you humiliated in front of these four people, Zhuang Wudao, do you have any complaints?"
"I don't dare and I won't!" Zhuang Wudao shook his head and said sincerely, "Wudao is just a little confused."
"I don't understand, this is reasonable!"
Sikong Hong stopped joking, and his expression lost the cynicism before.
"I just want you to know what kind of situation you, Zhuang Wudao, would be in at this moment without Master accepting you. This talisman can be said to save you from fire and water. If you succeed in practice in the future
, be grateful.”
Zhuang Wudao was silent for a while again. Although he heard that Sikong Hong seemed to be dissatisfied with him, he did not feel angry because of it.
Compared with Feng Xuan and Li Chongzhen before, what Sikong Hong did was nothing at all. It was genuine and saved him from fire and water.
There was only one doubt in his mind, which he could not solve yet.
"If you receive a drop of kindness from others, you should repay it with a spring of water. Although Wu Dao has never read a book, he still knows etiquette and justice, and he will never be an ungrateful person! It's just a senior, Wu Dao still has one thing that he doesn't understand. He doesn't know the rules.
Master, how did he know my name, and why did he accept me as his disciple? Is there any reason for this?"
"The reason? I also want to know what the reason is-"
This time, Sikong Hong's face was full of bitterness, and his eyes were blank and unwilling as he said: "Including Master, there are eight secret disciples in Xuanling Mountain. There is a Yuan Shen, six golden elixirs, and a Foundation Establishment Realm junior disciple.
.Such basic strength, in
Among the seven fronts of Lichen Ershan, it can be considered prosperous. However, it has been two hundred years since the master was promoted to the Yuanshen realm, and he only has forty years left to live. And the remaining senior brothers, although they have reached the middle and late stages of Jindan, however,
Most of them are like me, basically
There is no hope of reaching the Yuanshen realm. Ordinarily, it doesn’t matter. Junior brother Hua Ying was once ranked second in the list of outstanding talents. He is the most promising disciple in our Lichen Sect. The disciple who has reached the Yuanshen realm is enough to support Xuanling Mountain in the future.
The gate. However, the changes a few months ago
Therefore, Huaying was seriously injured and dying, with almost no hope of recovery. In the past forty years, our Xuanling Mountain lineage has only had one secret disciple. I originally had high hopes. In the competition of several years, I will win.
A disciple as talented as Hua Ying."
When he heard this, Zhuang Wudao was already stunned. No wonder this Sikong Hong had a weird attitude and harbored resentment towards him. He was given a place as a secret disciple, but he didn't expect that Master Jiefa, who he had never met before, would
He actually paid such a price for him and even gave up the hope of Xuanling Mountain being revived again.
Since he is already a member of the Jie Dharma Sect, he is the seventh disciple by default. Then no one in Xuanling Mountain can obtain the qualification to teach secretly.
"When I first received this master's talisman edict, I was shocked and angry, and wanted to ask why. But now that I think about it, I can't blame you. Master, he must have a reason for doing this."
Sikong Hong sighed slightly, his mood waning: "If you want to ask the reason, you can ask the master yourself. I just hope you will not waste this rare secret place, and don't embarrass the master. You must know my secret method.
There is no one who can't achieve the golden elixir so far. What happened today will soon be spread throughout the two mountains and seven peaks. If you don't want Master
His actions this time will make others laugh in the future, so he should act like a secret disciple and stop the mouths of Lichen disciples! Do you know how many people in Lichen Sect were eyeing your position beforehand?
?How many people will be jealous of you? For you, although it is an opportunity, it may not really be a good thing."
Maybe he was really frustrated, because Sikong Hong was a little incoherent when he spoke.
Zhuang Wudao also roughly understood what it meant. He was now the target of thousands of people and the target of public criticism. As a disciple of Jie Fa, he had the obligation to safeguard the dignity of Xuanling Mountain and must not be timid.
For him, who has only a fifth-level spiritual root, his status as a secret disciple is not only a blessing, but also an unbearable burden.
"And that senior brother Chi Lingzi, don't blame him either."
Sikong Hong shook his head: "This guy is actually not bad. He has always been a sharp-tongued man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart. It's a pity that Huangji Peak and Mingcuifeng are both as good as wearing a pair of pants. This Chi Lingzi, in the past, also
I owe Master Fengxuan a huge favor, and today I have to do it out of necessity."
※※※※
Sikong Hong only rushed back temporarily. The dispute with the Yishan Sect was still not over. He stayed in Wujing for less than an hour before he had to leave south by air.
Although Yuecheng is in the east, the Lichen Sect and the Yishan Sect compete for the entire Soochow Kingdom. The conflict occurs not only in Yuecheng. Yuecheng is just the place where the most intense conflict between the two major sects occurs.
Zhuang Wudao stood in a courtyard of the Taoist temple, staring into the distance in a daze. His mind was wandering, and he felt as if he was in a dream, which has never left him.
This coveted identity as a true disciple of Li Chen was obtained so easily? It was like dreaming, or riding on a malfunctioning spaceship - one moment he almost fell into the abyss, and the next moment he was floating in the clouds again.
superior.
"The sword master just now should not have thought of committing suicide!"
Yun'er's slightly cold and rigid voice sounded in Zhuang Wudao's mind at the right moment, as if he was extremely angry.
Zhuang Wudao smiled bitterly, thanks to Yun'er, he finally struggled out of that sense of wandering.
"What if I don't die? I, Zhuang Wudao, don't want to betray my mother, and I don't want my brothers to be implicated because of my affairs. Only death can end all this."
"Confused and incompetent!"
Yun'er snorted coldly, his voice as sharp as a needle.
"Sword Master, you are jade porcelain, a peerless treasure. They are just earthen pots, not worth mentioning. So what if you endure the humiliation for a moment? As the master of Qingyun Sword, you will eventually be high up, the master of all immortals, looking down on all living beings! This is
Your generation will surely become ants under your feet, and life and death will depend on your heart. Why should we care about the honor and disgrace of this moment?"
He seemed to be still upset, and the Qingyun Sword carried behind his back was extremely hot: "In my opinion, if your deceased mother knew about it, I would rather you endure the humiliation and live a good life. It is better than taking a breath and dying on your own."
Take your life lightly."
Zhuang Wudao laughed. In the years before his mother died, she really regretted it. She regretted that she brought him to Yuecheng but was unable to take good care of her beloved son. He was originally a rich man, but he became a villain and a beggar, stealing and robbing.
Cheating for a living.
My mother had no guilt in her life, but she only felt sorry for him. Very early on, she had made the intention to send him back to the Shen family. But in the end, he refused.
"I know I was wrong, why don't I do it next time?"
While begging for mercy, Zhuang Wudao's eyes revealed a hint of cold murderous intent: "Qingyun, a Qi Refining Realm monk with the level of cultivation like Shen Lin, are you sure that you can defeat four with one?"
, kill him?"
"Shen Lin?"
Yun'er's voice paused, as if he was weighing the strength of both sides: "This person is at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Realm. If I control the sword master's body, I can kill him one on one without ten swords -"
Zhuang Wudao's face remained cold and cold, knowing that there must be more to come. Sure enough, Yun'er continued: "However, if there are four people with the same strength, it will be a bit troublesome. The key is that I don't know what their skills are? What kind of mystical powers they have. ?What kind of spiritual weapon do you have to protect yourself? I can only control the sword master's body for half an hour. If this limit is exceeded, the sword master's life will be in danger. To be safe, it is best to go to the sword major to reach the sixth level. , let’s talk about it after you master the art of drawing swords.”
"In other words, if you have cultivated to the sixth level of the Tower Realm and mastered the sword-drawing technique, can you do it? Can it be completed with a blood sacrifice?"
"With the Sword Drawing Technique and the Sword Master's three extraordinary magical powers, if I still can't win, I will be the spirit of the divine sword in vain. One blood sacrifice is enough for the Sword Master to master the Sword Drawing Technique."
Yun'er thought thoughtfully: "Does the sword master want to kill this person? Why take such a risk? Just because he humiliated you, you want to kill someone in revenge? I heard that your human race has a saying, a gentleman takes revenge. It’s not too late—”
"That's not why."
Zhuang Wudao shook his head, he was not a child. Although Shen Lin's persecution today made him angry, it was not to the extent that it made him lose his mind and he would immediately take revenge and humiliation.
"This Shen Lin is not a person who is willing to give up, and he always uses any means. The Wu Jing Gym can no longer stop me from entering Lichen, so what do you think he will do?"
He just wanted to go back to Yue City and look for Qin Feng and others to attack him. If he didn't want to be kidnapped by this person, he would have no choice but to fight to the death!
The most urgent task is to complete the blood sacrifice——
When I walked out of the Wu Jing Gym, I saw Beitang Wan'er standing pretty at the door. Her eyes were restless and worried, but she suppressed them.
Zhuang Wudao raised the corners of his lips slightly and strode over: "Wan'er, do you know where the Xiahou family's annex in the capital is? Or how to contact the clan members who are the eunuchs in Yue Town?"
"Xiahou's family? I remember it was in the east of the city. There is also a eunuch Xiahou Zun, the eunuch Bingbi, who is the chief of etiquette in the palace. He is the brother of Xiahou Ling, the eunuch in Yue Town. Why do you ask these questions?"
Beitang Wan'er asked strangely, with a strange look in her eyes, and cautiously asked: "You're in there, are you okay?"
The Supervisor of Ceremonies Bingbi?
Zhuang Wudao was surprised, no wonder Yuecheng Shou Eunuch Mansion was qualified to compete with a big family like Beitang Family and Xia Family.
The power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is almost the same as that of the ministers of the cabinet. The Supervisor of Ceremonies, the eunuch Bingbi, can also be said to be one of the several internal ministers of the Soochow Kingdom.
In this way, two to thirty thousand taels of gold should not put any pressure on the Xiahou family.
Automatically ignoring Beitang Wan'er's last sentence, Zhuang Wudao asked again: "Is there any other way that can enable me to travel back and forth across the city in one day?"
"Within a day? Ordinary flying boats may not be able to do it. However, there is a thousand-mile escape talisman that can travel thousands of miles in a moment. If you have reached your level of cultivation, you can use it."
Beitang Wan'er was even more puzzled and impatient, and said with an imposing manner: "Master Feng Xuan calls you, what happened!"
"rude!"
The corners of Zhuang Wudao's lips raised, and finally a smile emerged: "Remember, from now on, Wan'er, you have to call me uncle!"
