"Eat your sister..." I said to myself, but I didn't dare to say such words, so I could only apologize and said with a smile: "Senior Guihuang, I have something urgent to do today, so I'll take a step ahead. I will definitely come to visit you some other day!"
After I finished speaking, I ran away without waiting for his reply.
I have experienced the horror of the ghostly old man. He chased me for several months after a disagreement. He chased me from outside the Cloud Wall to the edge of Jiangcheng. In the end, it was thanks to the intervention of the Confucian Guardian Immortal of Jiangcheng that he was saved.
Run away in shock.
But I didn't expect that almost a year had passed, and now I would meet him just after leaving Jiangcheng. I seriously doubted that he was waiting for me here on purpose.
With this old fox's ability, it is impossible to say that he can really figure out my path, but his patience is beyond doubt.
Thinking of this, I felt a chill running down my back.
Time is so tight now. If I really get entangled with him, I'm afraid I won't be able to register for the big exam at Qitian Academy.
"Young man, you are very rude to the elderly by running away without finishing your words!"
Almost as soon as I started to move, Old Man Guihuang's voice came from the front, and he blocked my way very accurately.
"Senior Guihuang, what do you want?" I asked angrily.
"Come back with me and become a young master!" He said calmly, without any concession in his words.
"I'm still young and haven't had enough fun yet. How about you let me play outside for ten or eight years and then become a young master for you?"
I said, even I didn't realize at the time that my caliber had changed.
"No, the path of cultivation is like going against the will of heaven. Every inch of time and every inch of gold should not be wasted! You are still young, and you need to be careful and cherish your time. The position of the Young Master can just help you."
"Besides, where will you be ten years from now? Where will I look for you? Your mouth is hairless and your words are weak. Who knows if you will have other new and last resort reasons by then?" He said leisurely.
Finally, he muttered a few words to himself. Although the voice was very low, I could hear it clearly.
I heard Old Man Guihuang whisper softly: "Who knows if I will be able to control you in ten years? For a person with extraordinary talent, ten years can change the world!"
Although he seemed to be whispering to himself, he deliberately let me hear him. This attitude made people laugh.
However, I didn't expect that his next words would shock me.
"Boy, do you know why I'm waiting for you here? Because this place is the only way from Jiangcheng to Qitian Academy to take the entrance exam!"
He said, and then looked at me meaningfully.
"That day you rejected me, I guessed that you might choose Confucianism, and the largest branch of Confucianism around here is none other than Qitian Academy."
"I didn't..." I almost subconsciously started to defend myself.
However, he was interrupted, and the old man Guihuang said: "Nothing? You didn't think about joining the Confucian sect at that time, right? This is normal!"
"I know you haven't thought about it at the time, so I insisted on taking you back to be a young master. I can see that although you are extremely talented and have good cultivation, you are only very ignorant about the world of immortality."
"I don't know where you come from, but I know that you are the person I have been looking for, the person who can lead my Ghost Eater Sect back to its former glory."
"Before you, I could tolerate the trash you killed for so long. Wasn't it just because his talent was higher than Zhang Kuang and the others?"
"There is no way. Those with higher talents have been won over by the three sects of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. It was not easy for me to find such a person in the first place."
"Talent is a rare resource everywhere, and it is the foundation for the three sects to maintain!" Old Man Guihuang sighed.
"Having said that, although his temperament is not very good, I can suppress him. In the future, there will be a better young master, so I will just replace him."
"He is the kind of person who will always obey your orders as long as you are stronger than him. He comes from the Ghost Eater Sect, so naturally he will not, dare not, and cannot betray."
"I originally thought that when you became the Young Master, he could be a pawn who followed orders and ran errands."
"But if you don't like it, kill him. Just kill him. But you're not willing to go back with me and become the Young Master. I'm at a great loss!"
Speaking of this, Old Man Guihuang pretended to be angry, and even his beard flew up. He glared at me fiercely and said, "What do you think is good about choosing Qitian Academy? A bunch of fake Taoists gathered here.
Together, we are all hypocrites, deceiving each other all day long, but still pretending to be noble."
"It's too dark there, not suitable for you. You'd better go back with me and become a Shaozong!"
"Although our Ghost Eater Sect has become a member of the evil sect, we can at least act openly and aboveboard!"
When he said these words, Old Man Guihuang stood very upright, as if he were a high mountain, and his voice was like rolling thunder falling from the sea of clouds surrounding the top of the mountain - deafening, decisive, and impactful!
"Besides, what is righteousness? What is evil? It's not up to the people who have control of the discourse to say what they say!" His voice became louder and louder, as if the great road was revealed and roaring.
"Now that Confucianism is so powerful, it says that we are evil. Even if we are not evil, we are still evil! Isn't it because our ideas are different from theirs?"
"But all methods return to the sect, all ways return to the origin. All methods of practice have their own merits, and they are all aimed at leading to the top of the immortal path."
Old Man Guihuang suddenly took a step towards where I was, and an invisible pressure suddenly hit my face. I even felt that the space around me became oppressive, and a sense of embarrassment arose spontaneously.
"What you can learn at Qitian Academy, I, the Ghost Eater Sect, can also give you similar things."
"Don't you like to study formations? How about trying the real ghost-eating and soul-destroying formation of our Ghost-Eating Sect!" he said.
As soon as these words came out, I secretly thought that it was not good, but before I could make any reaction, I found that I seemed to have fallen into another dimension.
"I won't hurt you, I just need to trap you for a while and make you miss the big exam of Qitian Academy."
"Don't worry, one day you will understand my painstaking efforts! You will be grateful to me at that time, even though I don't like it!"
His voice rang out in this strange space, echoing everywhere, whether in the sky or on the ground.
At the same time, the scene of the entire space also began to change.
As far as the eye can see, there are ferocious evil spirits and lost souls everywhere, the earth is covered with bones, and the sky is densely covered with lightning.
Between the sky and the earth, there is a mist that cannot be seen through, and there is a sense of desolation everywhere, accompanied by a lingering chilling feeling. Often, before you even take a breath, you will feel ice-cold to the bone. Inhaling a little bit will make you sink.
…
This is the real ghost-eating and soul-destroying formation! (To be continued)
