Qian Yanyun explained: "It has been nearly a month since I found him. Not only did this young man not say a word, he also kept looking for opportunities to escape. I tried to search his memory, but found that someone had imposed a very severe restraint on him.
Unable to investigate, we had to make this decision."
Sun Ning tilted his head slightly, and first untied the iron rope Jiuliu that bound the young man, and patted open his sealed meridians. It was obvious that he had been tied like this for a long time. The young man groaned lowly and moved his hands and feet.
But he kept his head down, as if he refused to cooperate.
Sun Ning asked pleasantly: "Little brother, what's your name?"
The boy said nothing, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Qian Yanyun said: "This boy's name is Liang Xiaojia. He has been sent to the house by his parents since he was a child to do chores such as sweeping. I have asked other people that this boy is usually very well-behaved. I don't know what happened this time.
You have to be so stubborn.”
Sun Ning said: "He probably kept the secret because of Mr. Hong's kindness. He is a good boy who keeps his word. Don't blame him."
Qian Yanyun said helplessly: "I pretended to threaten his parents' lives, but he refused to speak."
Hearing the word "Mr. Hong", Liang Xiaojia suddenly raised his head, with a look of disbelief and panic in his eyes.
Sun Ning's spiritual message said: "The old man you met, old man Tianji, whose real name is Hong Tianji, is the acting sect leader of Tiangong Luban Sect. He has passed on the position of sect master to me, leaving the sect behind.
I have to get the token. Little brother, don’t worry, I’m not a bad person.”
Old Man Tianji acted so carefully, which shows how careful he was against the enemy, so Sun Ning would naturally be more careful.
Hearing this, Liang Xiaojia showed hesitation on his face.
But soon, his expression became determined again, clenching his teeth tightly and refusing to speak.
In the next quarter of an hour, no matter how Sun Ning tried to persuade him, Liang Xiaojia remained unmoved.
Sun Ning sighed: "Liang Xiaojia, I appreciate your ability to keep secrets like this. If it were an ordinary matter, I would definitely give you time. But this matter is of great importance. I can only probe your memory now. Please forgive me."
Old Man Tianji has been in exile until now, and has almost lost all his cultivation. Although the restriction he left in Liang Xiaojia's sea of consciousness is very superb, its power is very weak. What's more, Liang Xiaojia is only an early-stage immortal, and with Sun Ning's mental strength
, it is really easy to break this restriction.
His tireless questioning was also due to his respect for Liang Xiaojia. The fact that he can keep secrets like this shows that he has good character.
Liang Xiaojia's face showed panic again.
Although he had not seen much of the world, he could feel that this man was as deep as the sea and extremely powerful. He also had sincere eyes and gentle words. For several moments, he wanted to speak.
But he immediately rejected the idea.
Before Grandpa Hong left, he repeatedly warned him not to reveal anything about him, including any words he said, to anyone.
Sun Ning slowly unfolded his mind power and gently probed into Liang Xiaojia's sea of consciousness.
Liang Xiaojia's cultivation is too weak, and his mental power is also very weak. If he is not careful, his sea of consciousness may be damaged, which may cause him to become stupid, or even his mental power will collapse and die.
Under Sun Ning's strong spirit, that layer of restrictions gradually became weaker and eventually disappeared.
Qian Yanyun saw that Liang Xiaojia's eyes suddenly became dull, and Sun Ning also looked solemn. He immediately explored the surroundings vigilantly. Any method related to the spirit was often very dangerous when used, and it was most taboo to be disturbed.
Breaking the restriction, Sun Ning probed Liang Xiaojia's memory and interfered again.
Soon, he found the complete memory about Old Man Tianji.
It was in the winter a few years ago that Liang Xiaojia, who had been bullied by other servants of the city lord's mansion, rescued Hong Tianji, who was half-dead, in a small river behind the mansion.
Liang Xiaojia first hid him in a cave outside the mansion, but fearing that it was not safe, he took him to an abandoned secret room under a rockery in the mansion a few days later.
From then on, Hong Tianji stayed in the Qiandu City Lord's Mansion for several years, all thanks to Liang Xiaojia's careful care...
What surprised Sun Ning was that he originally thought that Liang Xiaojia must have been favored by Old Man Tianji to be so protective.
Then Hong Tianji neither taught him any moves nor any weapon-refining techniques.
The only thing he gave me was probably like a kind grandfather, listening to Liang Xiaojia express his grievances, comforting him, and encouraging him after he was bullied...
"Xiao Jia, I don't want to tell you more about my identity, because it is beyond your knowledge, and the more you know, the more harm it will do to you..."
"Xiao Jia, I have received great kindness from you in the past few years, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to repay you in the future. If our sect is revived in the future, you will be the first disciple in the sect..."
"Xiao Jia, my identity is very important. After I leave, you'd better find a private place. Also, remember not to mention anything about me to anyone..."
These words are particularly deep in Liang Xiaojia's memory.
However, based on the injuries suffered by Old Man Tianji at that time, even if he wanted to repay Liang Xiaojia, he might not be able to do so.
Sun Ning slowly withdrew his mental power, Liang Xiaojia's eyes gradually became clear, and he said absently: "What happened just now...?"
Sun Ning said: "Xiao Jia, I just checked your memory. Since the former sect leader said that if the sect is revived in the future, he will accept you as the first disciple of the sect, then I will now officially serve as the sect leader.
, I will take you into the sect of Tiangong Luban. Also, I will accept you as a registered disciple and guide your practice, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the former sect master."
In doing so, he indeed had the intention of repaying the kindness of Old Man Tianji, and it was also because he was very fond of Liang Xiaojia's character.
Liang Xiaojia's talent is very mediocre.
Fortunately, his cultivation level is also very low, and he is only in the early stage of immortality. For Sun Ning now, it is not particularly difficult to change his talent and reshape him into an immortal body.
Liang Xiaojia suddenly came to his senses, but Qian Yanyun's eyes shone brightly, and he was a little envious of this poor boy for a moment.
Becoming Sun Ning's registered disciple is probably the greatest blessing in the entire Spring and Autumn Immortal Path!
Sun Ning left the room and quickly found the rockery. He had completely cracked the formula left by Old Man Tianji.
Sun Ning got into the rockery and went down the steps. A few feet below, there was a very dilapidated and messy stone room, with mottled stone walls and dust and cobwebs everywhere.
After careful investigation, he lifted a heavy stone slab in the southeast of the stone chamber and activated his magic power to dig downwards.
After reaching a depth of about ten feet, they found a two-foot-square pothole. The soil was very soft. Sun Ning's heart moved: "This should be it."
Old Man Tianji was really too vigilant. He buried what he left behind deeply in the ground. Even the top ten feet of soil was carefully treated so that it looked no different from the surroundings.
For most spiritual explorations, within one foot of the ground is quite laborious, so it is also very safe.
