A practitioner who can guide Shen Yue's practice for a long period of time and guide disciples like Shen Yue is also a legend in his own right.
He himself was only the gatekeeper of Qiyun College at the earliest. Until Qiyun College became the Qitian College of the previous dynasty, his reputation was not obvious. He only waited until Shen made an appointment to meet him, worshiped him as his teacher, and obtained the Nantian Yida from him. At that time, the top practitioners in Jiankang City suddenly discovered that this gatekeeper turned out to be such a strong person.
It's just that there is still a big gap between his true energy cultivation and existences like Shen Yue, He Xiuxian, and the Queen Mother Tianxian. Moreover, he is too old. Although he has been indifferent to fame and wealth in his life, he is almost completely separated from the world, and rarely works hard. , but no matter how he recuperates, his disciple Shen Yue is already dead. He is really too old to look good.
From the perspective of a practitioner like the Queen Mother Tianxian, his Nantian Yida should be just for appreciation.
However, what she didn't expect was that his knife could break through her life object, dispel her life energy, and even leave a scar on her face!
Every woman cares about her appearance.
Of course she does too.
Therefore, compared with the practitioners of her time, she appears extremely young, and her face even looks younger than her son Xiao Yan.
Even countless years of washing have not left any traces on her face.
There are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
However, this old man shaved off one of her eyebrows, leaving a scar on her face.
How can she not be angry?
In fact, even if she was sure that Shen Yue was dead, she still had to kill this old man.
Because she has endured it for too many years.
She is as famous as He Xiuxian and Shen Yue, and they are called the Three Saints of Nantian by the world. But in fact, she knows very well that she and He Xiuxian are both under Shen Yue, so whenever there is Shen Yue, she and He Xiuxian will naturally be under Shen Yue. suppress.
If Shen Yue hadn't been stronger than her, how could she have paid the price of being imprisoned in the Lake Heart Jingyuan?
How can someone like her, who longs to roar proudly in the world every day, be willing to sit in a quiet courtyard and become a statue?
Of course she hates He Xiuxian.
He didn't offend He Xiuxian, but He Xiuxian just didn't like her.
But He Xiuxian also paid the same price. In her opinion, a proud and unparalleled existence like He Xiuxian was forced to be trapped in the deserted garden and eventually died. He could obviously leave countless glorious shadows in the world of practitioners. The most glorious second half of her life was wiped out abruptly, which was enough to offset a lot of her hatred.
So she actually hates Shen Yue even more.
Even if Shen Yue's decision led to Xiao Yan becoming the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and even if Shen Yue eventually caused He Xiuxian's death, the two saints retired to seclusion and the great saint was the only one. If there was no Shen Yue in this world, why would she have to be so apologetic?
This old man was the most important helper in Shen Yue's practice. He was the only teacher Shen Yue ever studied seriously. Shen Yue's achievements were naturally inseparable from the careful teaching of this old man.
So she naturally felt that without this old man, Shen Yue might not be able to bear the burden on her and He Xiuxian.
This thought has been lingering in her mind for many years in Jingyuan. This hatred has turned into a murderous intention when she came to this moment.
However, the scar caused by this knife made her feel less happy about finally killing the old man.
She was angry but had nowhere to vent her anger.
This old man has no bones left.
However, at this moment, a dark shadow appeared in the corner of the old library ahead.
That's a black dog.
A very common black dog in Jiankang City.
Many families in Jiankang City raise this kind of ordinary dog, and among them, poor families raise more dogs.
It is easy to raise and can feed this kind of dog on any food. This kind of dog is loyal and knows how to look after the house.
In fact, many poor people don't have anything valuable in their homes, and they don't need housekeeping.
Therefore, this kind of dog actually plays a greater role for them as a companion, a partner, and a family member.
Of course, there will be unfortunate owners, and there will be owners who don't sleep well.
Therefore, there will be many such dogs displaced in Jiankang City.
This black dog is one of them.
It wandered in Jiankang City for a long time before it found this place where it could shelter from the wind and rain and not be bullied by other dogs in their prime. The old man in this old library often gave it some food, so it stayed there
I have lived peacefully here for a long time.
It was already very old when it came, and it is even older now.
Usually it lies in a corner outside this old library, unconcerned with the world.
Of course it thinks the old man is its master.
It worked hard to stay with this old man.
But today, the old man died.
It didn't understand much, but it knew it was this woman who killed the old man.
It also knew how terrifying this woman was, even countless times more terrifying than the most ferocious similar person it had ever seen.
So it is also full of fear.
Every piece of flesh and blood on its body, and even every hair, seemed to be trembling.
But it still came out. It raised its head fearfully but angrily, stared at the woman, and roared with all its strength.
The Queen Mother Tianxian looked at the black dog.
She is also very strange.
She couldn't understand that such a dog would dare to come out at such a time.
At this moment, when she couldn't understand it even more, she actually saw the dog barking at her fiercely.
"Evil beast, seeking death!"
She almost subconsciously let out a loud shout, and overwhelming murderous intent swept out.
With a bang, a terrible force fell on the dog.
The dog instantly turned into a mass of exploding blood mist.
However, a thought killed the old dog, and her hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously.
She did not feel the joy of venting, but instead felt slightly confused and more angry.
Is this dog crazy?
"Why?"
Someone made a voice in front of the old library filled with the smell of blood, seeming to ask her.
Coincidentally, this was also the voice that sounded in her heart at this time, and she also wanted to ask this question.
A middle-aged man in green robes walked from the backyard of Qiyun College. Although his figure had not yet appeared in her sight, as his voice sounded, she had clearly sensed his aura, and even the surrounding people.
The movement of the air surrounding this man made her feel clearly what this man looked like.
"I seem to recognize you?"
The Queen Mother Tianxian looked in the direction of the visitor, her eyes were violent and somewhat uncertain, "Is your surname Yu?"
The middle-aged man in a green robe was dressed like a scholar and was very elegant. He quickly turned around the old library, looked at the Queen Mother Tianxian, bowed slightly and said, "The Queen Mother remembered it well. I'll listen to the bamboo below."
Empress Dowager Tianxian looked at the middle-aged man's features and confirmed that he was the man from back then. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "It seems that I made a good judgment back then. After all, you have a good talent, so I asked you to go to Huishan."
After observing the sutra sculptures, I really understood the true meaning of spiritual practice."
"good."
Yu Tingzhu said respectfully: "It is all because of the grace of the Queen Mother that I was able to become a worshiper of the imperial city."
Empress Dowager Tianxian's face softened slightly and she said, "You asked why just now and what did you mean?"
"I just want to ask the Queen Mother, why did such a killing occur?" Yu Tingzhu said: "The Queen Mother is already a great sage. Mr. Bai is harmless, and this old dog is harmless."
The Queen Mother Tianxian was slightly startled.
She usually hated the sourness of those scholars.
At this time, Yu Tingzhu's words sounded to her like the pedantic words of those scholars.
But what caught her attention at this time was not the sentence itself, but Yu Tingzhu's attitude itself.
"You question me?"
Her intact eyebrows were raised, and her voice suddenly became cold.
