Lin Mu's eyes flashed, and he raised his head to meet Mr. Xing's gaze: "Old Xing, do you know the secret of the Seven Star Tower?"
"It seems that you really saw it."
Mr. Xing looked a little excited, "It has been more than two thousand years, more than two thousand years, and the wishes of our ancestors will finally come true in my generation."
"Xing Lao, what is going on? Do you really know everything?"
The light in Lin Mu's eyes also became brighter.
"Good boy, since you have entered the seventh level and have seen the secret, there is no need for me to hide it from you. Now, I will tell you everything I know."
Xing Lao sat down again, then pointed to the opposite side, "Come on, sit down too."
Lin Mu followed his words and sat down opposite Mr. Xing, waiting for Mr. Xing to answer his questions.
"The founder of Seven Star Tower is named 'Zhang Shudao', and my ancestor was a servant of Zhang Shudao."
Xing Lao said slowly, "Everything was calm, the Lord was extremely talented, and all powerful enemies were swept away by him until more than two thousand years ago."
"The heaven and earth shook, the universe was reversed, and a peerless artifact descended, triggering countless battles between gods and demons."
"Seeing the devastation of all life and the desolation of the earth, the Lord planned a shocking situation and led the artifact and all the gods and demons into the urn. In the end, while the strongest demon among them killed the other gods and demons, he himself was also exhausted.
Use it to activate the seal and seal the great demon, the artifact, and the corpses of the gods and demons inside."
"After that, the Lord built the Seven-Star Tower, firstly to suppress the seal, and secondly to use the Seven-Star Tower to select an owner for the artifact."
"In order to prevent accidents, the Lord also left my ancestors and let me protect the Seven Star Tower forever."
As he said that, he looked at Lin Mu deeply: "That artifact is a Dao artifact, so the conditions for its owner are that it must not be over eighteen years old and must have a divine soul."
"This condition is too harsh, so the Lord actually has no hope in choosing the owner of that artifact. But no one expected that after more than two thousand years, such a person would really appear."
"That person is me."
Lin Mu breathed out.
The mysterious man on the eighth floor of the Seven Star Tower is undoubtedly the Great Demon God that Mr. Xing mentioned.
What this great demon said was indeed unreliable, half true and half false, and most of it was true. Only Zhang Shudao lied about this, which made him almost believe it.
The despicable person is not Zhang Shudao. Zhang Shudao's behavior is what saves the common people. On the contrary, those gods and demons, including the great demon, regard all living beings in the world as ants and act recklessly.
"Exactly."
Xing Lao smiled, then looked solemn, "Did you see him when you saw the sealed door?"
Lin Mu nodded: "Every injury he suffered was fatal. It's terrifying that he can survive like this."
"Of course, he was the strongest among the gods and demons back then. A being like this is not even as smart as me, so you absolutely cannot believe his words."
Speaking of that kind of existence, Mr. Xing felt terrified.
"Xing Lao, what exactly is that artifact?"
Lin Mu asked curiously.
"To be honest, I don't know either."
Xing Lao shook his head, "This secret can only be revealed by you in the future."
"All right."
Lin Mu patted the leaves that fell on him, "Well, Mr. Xing, I'll take my leave now."
Mr. Xing nodded and said: "Remember, you must concentrate on sword practice. Only in this way can you completely alleviate the hidden dangers in your body."
Lin Mu stood up and walked to the door, pausing in his steps: "Xing Lao, how strong are the gods and demons? How do the martial saints compare with the gods and demons?"
Xing Lao was silent for a moment, and then said: "The gods and demons can kill you with one breath, and the same goes for the martial saint, so it makes no difference to you."
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet."
Lin Mu muttered something in a low voice, stopped staying, and strode away.
"This kid."
This muttering could not be concealed from Mr. Xing behind him, and he suddenly felt angry and funny.
After leaving Qixing Garden, Lin Mu first went to the college cafeteria to have a meal, and then went directly back to his yard to start practicing swordsmanship.
"Eight Desolate Swords."
Fire desolation, thunder desolation, wind desolation!
With the support of the three mysteries, the three-movement sword style was unfamiliar to him at first, but he quickly became familiar with it.
This practice lasted for most of the day, and the sky turned dark unconsciously.
"Junior brother Lin."
Suddenly, someone's voice came from outside.
Lin Mu stopped and opened the door. What he saw was an unfamiliar face. He couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?"
"Junior brother, I am the gatekeeper of the college. There is a man named Lin Yi at the gate of the college. He claims to be your cousin. He wants to see you. I am here to ask if you want to let him in?"
Humanity outside the door.
"Jin Yi?"
Lin Mu looked surprised, then nodded to the guard outside the door, "Okay, I understand, go and bring him here."
After the guard left, Lin Mu put away his sword, tidied it up briefly, and waited in the yard.
Not long after, the guard brought two people to the door, a man and a woman. The man was Lin Yi.
"Brother Yi, why are you here?"
Lin Mu stood up and greeted him.
Seeing that Lin Mu was still as enthusiastic as before, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You kid, I am the brother, so I came to see if you can do it."
Before coming here, he was worried that Lin Mu would have a grudge against him because of the Lin family's affairs. Now it seems that he is being petty, and Lin Mu is much more generous than he thought.
"This is?"
Lin Mu quickly noticed the girl next to Lin Yi.
"Come, let me introduce you."
Ji Yi smiled broadly, "This is your sister-in-law, Wu Qi."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Lin Mu said respectfully.
While speaking, he glanced at Wu Qi, whose face was like a peach blossom and her appearance was gorgeous. No wonder Ji Yi was attracted to her.
"My brother-in-law is famous in Tianyuan City, and my sister-in-law has long been famous."
Seeing Lin Mu, Wu Qi's eyes lit up and she laughed softly.
Lin Mu was slightly startled when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, do you know me?"
"Haha, your sister-in-law is from Tianyuan City, why is it strange to know your name?"
Lin Yi laughed and said, "But you can do it. When I was in Xichuan City, I knew you were not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect that you would rise so quickly. In less than a year, you were already famous.
Tianyuan has become a genius that countless people have noticed."
"It turns out that my sister-in-law is from Tianyuan City."
Lin Mu felt relieved and asked, "How did sister-in-law and brother Yi know each other?"
"Just two months after you left, your sister-in-law followed the family's caravan and came to Xichuan City to do business. She and I met by chance. It is fate."
Lin Yi looked very happy.
Wu Qi next to her also lowered her head slightly, seeming very shy.
"This time you and your sister-in-law came to Tianyuan City to visit your sister-in-law's family. I stopped by to see you and let you and your sister-in-law get to know each other."
Lin Yi continued.
"Yes, yes, it seems that the matter between you and your sister-in-law is settled."
Lin Mu also had a smile on his face, feeling happy for Lin Yi.
"Okay, that's it. It's getting late today. I'll take you to your sister-in-law's inn to settle down, and then I'll visit your sister-in-law's house tomorrow."
Lin Yi is also quite straightforward in his actions.
