"We are looking for someone. This person hid very well, but I already know his location roughly, so although it will take some effort, I won't come back empty-handed."
"Who is this man? Do you also want me to fight him and then kill him?"
The battle with Gao Huan ended quickly. He Bayue's boatman was also a strong practitioner. He quickly found another boat of similar size and continued to move along the river.
Shen Nian was practicing from time to time, and his conversations with He Buyue were also going on from time to time, but his tone became more and more respectful to He Buyue.
In his opinion, He Bayue not only taught him how to practice like the monk in white, but also taught him how to fight and how to become stronger.
As the feeling of strangeness disappeared, and as this conversation continued, the feeling of uneasiness and fear in his heart became less and less.
"The man's name is Yu Wenlie. He is the first practitioner of the Yuwen family to break through to the spiritual realm. However, his younger brother Yu Wenjuan is so much better than him in terms of cultivation talent that he came from behind and quickly surpassed his realm."
He Bayue looked at Shen Nian. His calm and confident look made Shen Nian even more convinced that as long as he could follow He Bayue's requirements every step of the way, he would be strong enough to compete with the Demon Sect.
"That person once entered the Guangming Holy Sect. The Demon Sect was able to obtain the Destiny Blood Box because of his arrangement. We must find him before the Demon Sect finds him, because he has a magic weapon in his hand that can control the Destiny Blood Box. He once used this magic weapon to control the Demon Sect. Although the Demon Sect was freed from the control of this magic weapon, the magic weapon itself has the vitality characteristic of restraining the Destiny Blood Box, so it would be somewhat difficult to capture this magic weapon. Useful. And there is another important reason why I have to find him. He and my father should have had a secret deal a long time ago. My father died in the Northern Wei Palace, and it was he who controlled the Demon Sect to lure away the Northern Wei Palace. power, and my father took the opportunity to enter the palace to rob the Netherworld God Silkworm. I know nothing about these things. I think there should be secrets between him and my father that I don’t even know about. You lack combat experience, you Of course you have to fight him and seize his magic weapon. As for whether to kill him, it depends on your choice after defeating him."
Shen Nian looked at He Buyue, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do you seem to have a big problem with your father? What exactly happened between you?"
When he was at sea, as he spent more and more time cultivating at sea, he became less and less able to understand his father's decision to repent. Sometimes he even resented himself for having such a father and his own fate. However, when he finally realized that After encountering the Demon Sect and Gao Huan, he began to understand his father's painstaking efforts.
He regretted not being able to see his father for the last time.
He didn't understand that He Buyue seemed to be incompatible with his father. Even in the few sentences just now, he felt that when He Buyue mentioned his father's death, there was no sadness, but a sense of contempt.
"You guessed it right."
He Bayue looked at Shen Nian and seemed to easily see what he was thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "When my cultivation level was close to that of my father, my father and I already had many disagreements. , in his opinion, I am too unwilling to make progress, and in my opinion, if he is not my father, then he is the kind of person that I have always disdained, without the kind of truly amazing talents, but He just happens to have that kind of ambition that only a human being can have."
"Strictly speaking, apart from your father, our He family and Yuwen family are the two families that have received the most inheritance from Emperor You in the past few hundred years. Although our He family and Yuwen family are unknown in the world of practitioners, in fact , the practitioners of our two families have always surpassed the later patrol kings and divine generals who grew up with the help of your father."
He Bayue said lightly: "It's just that my father has never been able to see clearly. His strength is only because of more inheritance, not because his cultivation talent and other talents are really superior to others. He has always been very ambitious. , so much so that he felt that your father spent a lot of effort to make the rest of the people stronger just to restrain our He family and Yuwen family. Over the years, he has always wanted to replace your father's position, and I know very well how powerful your father is. It’s not just that the method he obtained is powerful, so I have always firmly opposed it.”
"This..." Shen Nian looked at him in astonishment, "My father has never told us this before."
"He is a true wise man. He will not let his own feelings influence your decision. He will not let you have a unique love or hatred for a certain family when you come back from overseas." He Boyue said with a smile on his face. The look on his face did not disappear, and he continued: "In the past many years, if I had not opposed him and blocked him at every turn, perhaps he would have been in great trouble. But later I realized that it was because of me I opposed him everywhere, so he completely hid many things from me."
"I just said that there is another important reason why I want to find out Yu Wenlie, and that is to ask if there are any other secrets between him and my father that I don't know about."
He Bayue paused for a moment. He looked at the expression on Shen Nian's face seriously and said, "You may not know very well. Your father passed away early just because he encountered a strong man after his battle with He Xiuxian. He was seriously injured in the ambush, and I have always suspected that those strong men back then were related to my father and Yu Wenlie."
Shen Nian's face instantly turned pale.
"Where can there be so many strong people in the world?"
He Bayue looked at the waves on the river in the distance and sneered, "The strongest practitioner and force in the south is He Xiuxun and his sword pavilion. After your father defeated He Xiuxun in the battle, the entire south was on his side. Except for the Empress Dowager of the Southern Dynasties, no one could threaten him anymore. Although the practitioners from other families at that time received help from your father and obtained many powerful magical weapons and methods, their cultivation at that time was not as good as your father's. Words are not enough to scare. At that time, except for those of us, almost no one knew how many powerful masters there were in various sects in the entire south and north, and what kind of cultivation those masters had achieved. But there was one sect. It's an exception."
"What sect?" Shen Nian asked subconsciously.
"Guangming Holy Sect."
He Bayue said in a slightly cold voice: "The Guangming Holy Sect has always been very powerful, but those people are almost never born, do not fight with the world, and do not compete for the title of so-called talented people. Therefore, many practitioners in the world They don’t even know the existence of this sect, let alone how many powerful people there are in the Guangming Holy Sect, but what is certain is that the Yuwen family has been afraid of the Guangming Holy Sect since many years ago, so they have always had people in the Guangming Holy Sect. The Holy Sect practices. So the rest of the world doesn’t know, but Yu Wenlie must be very aware of how many powerful people there were in the Guangming Holy Sect back then.”
"Later, the Guangming Holy Sect was destroyed due to civil strife. According to outside knowledge, someone assassinated the important figures of the Guangming Holy Sect who were guarding the magic circle. After the Demonic Sect obtained the Destiny Blood Box, they were afraid that their master would stop him after learning the truth.
, so he took the initiative to sneak attack on his master. Later, the Guangming Holy Sect fell into civil strife due to the successive deaths of important figures. Many practitioners who were chasing the Demon Sect all died, and the Guangming Holy Sect was completely destroyed."
"The Guangming Holy Sect was not well-known in the world originally. Even when the Demon Sect later arrived in the Northern Wei Dynasty, unified the Tantric Sect in Mobei and became the Demon Sect Master of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when practitioners in the Southern Dynasties traced their origins, only a few people knew about it.
He was born in the Guangming Holy Sect, but at that time the Guangming Holy Sect had been destroyed for a long time. For this mysterious but previously unknown practice, the practitioners in the Southern Dynasties did not have much interest in digging into it. But for you and me.
For someone who knows that Yu Wenlie is causing trouble, there are a lot of secrets that can be explored."
When He Bayue said this, he couldn't help laughing sarcastically, "It is impossible for a powerful sect to be destroyed just because one of its most outstanding true disciples stole a powerful magic weapon.
Since the practitioners of the Guangming Holy Sect are so powerful, it is impossible to kill all the strong ones just by relying on Yuwen Lie to make waves. So for so many years, I have always felt that the Yuwen family is more than just Yuwen Lie in the Guangming Holy Sect.
, I even doubt that there are even fathers among those people."
Shen Nian felt more and more reasonable. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
He Boyue snorted coldly and continued: "If you want to prevent everyone from thinking that the person who ambushed your father was the work of my father and Yu Wenlie, then the person who ambushed your father must be someone who doesn't even know his origin.
.So in my opinion, the fall of the Guangming Holy Sect and the disappearance of many strong men were originally fake deaths at that time. Their real death was actually in the battle where they ambush your father."
"I have talked with Yu Wenkui about this matter. In my opinion, Yu Wenkui is the most sober among all the people. He and I have the same view." He Bayue took a deep look at Shen Nian, "Since
My father has done many things without telling me. Yuwen Lie, who is already below him in the Yuwen family, can naturally join forces with my father and do many things without telling him. Unfortunately, it is impossible for Yu Wenjuan to know about this.
The truth of the matter is because he has died in Guanlong, but we must find out the truth."
Listening to He Buyue's words, Shen Nian felt more grateful in his heart. He took a deep breath, looked at He Buyue and asked, "Why do you do so many things for my father?"
"I was weak before."
After He Bayue said this, he was silent for a rare moment, and then continued: "It's not that my cultivation is weak, but that I am born with deficiencies and my bones are very weak. My mother was injured during pregnancy. Even after I was born, I used a lot of
The elixir I planted saved my life, but my innate strength was still too weak. Later, although I was not stupid, I quickly sensed Qi and condensed yellow buds. But according to my situation at that time, even if I practiced hard for a day without slacking off, I might be able to
Because I don’t have enough internal energy, I won’t be able to achieve much, and I’m afraid I won’t live long. According to my father’s estimate, I’m afraid I won’t live until fifty. Since this is a fate that has already been decided and cannot be changed, no matter how hard I try, there will be no chance.
What's the point, so for a period of time, I was very depressed until I met your father."
Shen Nian's eyes brightened a little, "Did my father help you?"
"Your father has taken me to practice for a long time. He even studied the deficiencies of my internal organs and meridians like studying classics. He found a method of using the True Essence Stimulating Needle, and used his own True Essence Condensing Needle to stimulate my anus. He also used some rare elixirs to regulate the orifices and qi and blood. It took him nearly a year to make up for my innate talent."
He Bayue nodded slowly, he seemed a little emotional, and said softly: "For ordinary people, one year is not a short time, but for people like him, one year is so precious ?And as he led me to practice for a long time, he naturally understood that although my roots were weak, my perception of the vitality of heaven and earth and my understanding of those practice methods were much stronger than those of ordinary practitioners. From a certain point of view In a sense, after I have been conditioned, I will naturally be like He Xiuxian, and I will even be able to pose a threat to him in the future realm of cultivation."
"It is precisely because of this that I firmly disagree with my father's views. I never think that many of the things he did were to deliberately suppress the strength of our He family and Yuwen family."
He Bayue looked at the sky in the south and said seriously: "Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. He took me to practice back then, changed my destiny, and made me stronger. Naturally, I will be the same now. Leading you to practice and making you stronger is the cause and effect I want to follow."
Shen Nian was moved and speechless.
He didn't ask any more questions about He Bayue's skills and practice.
When he thought about it, since his father had led He Batayue to practice for so long, and He Batayue's true essence contained those unique flavors, and could even open the qi connection that Gao Huan had severed with himself, it should be him. Methods taught by his father.
The more this happened, the more he felt that he should accept He Bayue's arrangements and practice more seriously than before.
He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and started a new round of practice.
He lowered his head, but He Bayue still raised his head at this time.
So he couldn't see the look in He Buyue's eyes at this time.
The sky has completely darkened.
There was a hint of mockery in He Bayue's eyes that could not be concealed by any darkness.
What is the truth?
Sometimes even what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth.
Because the pictures you see with your own eyes may also be arranged by others.
When he felt the breath of Shen Nian's true essence flowing through his body, the trace of mockery in his eyes that even the darkness could not hide quickly faded away, but was replaced by an indescribable look of satisfaction.
Many years ago, he got something he wanted from Shen Yue, and today, he finally truly picked the most important sweet fruit he had always wanted from Shen Nian.
In this whole chess game, the only thing that made him regretful was that the war outside Tianwuchuan ended in failure, and even Yu Wenkui and the others died there.
Originally, in his opinion, even if something went wrong in that war, people like Yu Wenkui would not die.
Even if he failed, with Yu Wen Kui's temperament, he would probably just walk away, even hiding it better than Yu Wen Lie.
Then he would appear at Yu Wenkui's door one early morning, smiling and looking at Yu Wenkui's disbelieving expression.
It's just that Yu Wenkui died in the hands of another disciple of He Xiuxian.
Thinking of Chen Ziyun today, a strong murderous intention appeared in his heart.
Chen Ziyun's prediction was good. If he hadn't been afraid of something happening to Shen Nian, he would have killed He Xiuxian's disciple today.
Chen Ziyun gave him a very bad and dangerous feeling.
At one point, he even felt that Chen Ziyun would risk his own death and kill Shen Nian as long as he took action in order to prevent Shen Nian from falling into his hands.
This disciple of He Xiuxian already gave him a sense of danger, and the other Lin Yi, who single-handedly changed the outcome of the Guanlong War, must be more dangerous than Chen Ziyun. (To be continued)
