Chapter 61: The Old Man

Ma Xie was sober for a while, he carefully recalled yesterday's battle, and tried his best, and it seemed that he had only passed twenty moves with Zuo Qing.

"At the same level of the Qi Refining Realm, Zuo Qing is much stronger than me. Ma Xie knew in his heart that there was still a big gap between himself and Zuo Qing, but Ma Xie was not discouraged, in addition to revenge, he came to the Heavenly Martial Sect to take revenge, and more importantly, to make up for his own shortcomings and become a real cultivator!

"By the way, is your assessment over? What is the result?" Ma Xie suddenly remembered that Zhong Mengqiu also participated in the selection yesterday, and he didn't know what the result was.

"I ...... Failed. Zhong Mengqiu lowered his head and said, in fact, Zhong Mengqiu had already given up the selection and lost his qualifications.

Ma Xie was very surprised, he knew Zhong Mengqiu's strength, he should be able to survive twenty moves, how could he fail? Just as he wanted to ask the reason, Zhong Mengqiu interrupted him: "Don't talk about this matter again, I still have a chance, as long as you, an inner disciple, are willing to give me, I will definitely have a chance next time." ”

Zhong Mengqiu showed a bright smile, and Ma Xie nodded: "Yes, don't give up." ”

At this time, Zuo Qing walked in, he looked at Zhong Mengqiu, and did not debunk Zhong Mengqiu's lies. He said to Ma Xie, "How are your injuries, I think you should be able to move around, and if you can, I will take you to the Wuying Hall to meet the sect master." ”

Ma Xie tried to move his body a few times, but his injuries were not serious, and he did not hurt his muscles and bones.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you're going to answer them truthfully. Zuo Qing said to Ma Xie, and then said to Zhong Mengqiu: "Miss Zhong, this is a test within our sect, please avoid it." ”

Zhong Mengqiu left sensibly.

Zuo Qing asked Ma Xie: "Before I officially join the Heavenly Martial Sect, I have to ask you a few questions. ”

Ma Xie nodded: "Just ask." ”

"Who is your master?" this is Zuo Qing's most concerned question.

Ma Xie was suddenly stunned, he didn't know whether he should answer this question or not. Now that he has entered the Tianwu Sect, he wants to start taking revenge like Yunhai, but does he dare to say his purpose? How does he know what the relationship between the person in front of him and Yunhai is, and if Yunhai reveals that he is Mu Xunfeng's disciple, will Yunhai notice it?

Ma Xie didn't say the answer to these questions immediately, he could only ask Zuo Qing rhetorically: "Is this something that must be answered?"

Yun Hai nodded: "We must be clear about your master's inheritance, if you are already a disciple of another sect, if you want to join our Tianwu Sect, we need to consider it carefully, and the most important thing is that we must get your master's consent." ”

"I'm not a disciple of another sect. Ma Xie could only reply to Zuo Qing like this: "But I can't say my master's name, this is what his old man meant." ”

"Since you are not a disciple of another sect, is your master a member of the Tianwu Sect?" Zuo Qing asked.

Mu Xunfeng was originally a disciple of the Tianwu Sect, Ma Xie actually didn't lie, he nodded to Zuo Qing: "The family master used to be a disciple of the Tianwu Sect, but he had already left the Tianwu Sect many years ago, and since then he is just an ordinary martial artist on the rivers and lakes. ”

Zuo Qing became more and more suspicious that Ma Xie and Mu Xunfeng had a close connection, because Mu Xunfeng had left the Tianwu Sect many years ago, and he asked tentatively: "Who taught you your jade candle sword technique." ”

Ma Xie took a breath violently, this Zuo Qing actually recognized the Jade Candle Sword Technique? But it's right to think about it, Mu Xunfeng is a disciple of the Tianwu Sect, and Mu Xunfeng's martial arts must be the same line as the Tianwu Sect, as an elder of the Tianwu Sect, how could Zuo Qing not know the Jade Candle Sword Technique?

Ma Xie deeply regretted that if Yunhai saw it, it would be dangerous to doubt his identity. 、

Ma Xie could only say: "Naturally, my master, my master is a disciple of the Tianwu Sect, and this jade candle sword technique was taught to me by his old man." ”

"But as far as I know, this Jade Candle Sword Technique can only be practiced by inner disciples, and in the past twenty years, and because of the great difficulty of cultivation, not many people have chosen this set of Sword Techniques in the past twenty years, and these people are basically still in the Tianwu Sect. And among the people who are not in the Tianwu Sect, I happen to know one, I don't know if it's your master. ”

Ma Xie didn't answer, he knew that Zuo Qing was testing himself.

"Mu Xunfeng, I don't know if you recognize this person?" Zuo Qing showed a mysterious smile.

"I don't know, my master doesn't call him by that name. Ma Xie shook his head, he couldn't easily expose the identity of Mu Xunfeng's disciple.

Zuo Qing touched his nose and said to himself: "Of course, the Jade Candle Sword Technique is not the top sword technique, it has been passed down for so many years, and it is not necessary that some other people have learned it. Moreover, there are hundreds of people in the inner gate of the Tianwu Sect, and some of them have also gone out to practice for many years, and they don't want to come back, let alone say their names to others, I understand very well. Just know that you are not a disciple of another sect. ”

Ma Xie breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Zuo Qing did not continue to ask about his master.

"But if I were you, I wouldn't use this sword technique casually before I officially got started. Zuo Qing said suddenly.

"Why?"

"Because I knew a very powerful senior brother back then, and he was able to successfully learn all the moves of this sword technique just in the innate realm. But then a wicked man attacked him, leaving him seriously injured and unable to practice. I have always felt that this wicked man is hiding in the sect, if he sees a spearhead boy who comes out of nowhere and can also use this swordsmanship, won't he doubt it?"

Ma Xie was secretly shocked in his heart, wasn't this Zuo Qing just talking about Mu Xunfeng? Is he testing himself, or is he reminding himself not to reveal his identity.

"Thank you for your advice, but I don't know if this senior brother is the Mu Xunfeng you just mentioned?" Ma Xie also tested Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing smiled slightly: "The old man is gone, I can't remember what his name is, I only remember that he was dressed in white, with a long sword in his hand, that kind of demeanor still fascinates me, is it Mu Xunfeng? ”

"However, your jade candle sword technique is still different from my senior brother's, if I wasn't very familiar with this sword technique, I wouldn't recognize it quickly, so you don't have to worry, I think that day, except for me and Lord Wu Xuan, everyone will recognize what this sword technique is. Zuo Qing changed the topic, no longer mentioning Mu Xunfeng, and asked Ma Xie other questions through him, but he never asked Ma Xie about the exercises he practiced, after all, this is very taboo in the cultivators, and finally he said: "You quickly pack up and prepare to go with me to see the sect master, the lord is very interested in you, and also, treat the girl outside the door, she gave up the assessment for you." ”

"What!" Ma Xie then realized that Zhong Mengqiu did not take the exam at all, but directly accompanied him in.

Zuo Qing looked at Ma Xie's surprised expression and said, "It seems that you don't know about this yet, she ran over after you passed out, and then insisted on following us in and taking care of you for a day and a night." ”

Ma Xie's heart trembled slightly, Zhong Mengqiu gave up such an important opportunity for herself, I don't know what she was thinking at the moment, he quickly packed his clothes and walked out of the door.

Zhong Mengqiu was sitting on a stone bench in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss Zhong. Ma Xie called Zhong Mengqiu.

Zhong Mengqiu raised his head, his eyes were a little red: "Are you out?"

"It's no big deal, I heard Elder Zuo say that you gave up the exam?" Ma Xie asked.

Zhong Mengqiu nodded: "I saw you faint on the ground, and I forgot about the selection for a while, so I followed Elder Zuo in." ”

Ma Xie said loudly: "How can you do this? Aren't you going to fulfill your parents' last wishes? I'm going to ask Elder Zuo to let them re-evaluate you, you will definitely be able to, I know you will definitely be able to." ”

"No, Ma Xie. Zhong Mengqiu looked at Ma Xie and said: "This is the rule of the Tianwu Sect, they will not break the rules for me, I will continue to participate next year, I will definitely be able to, anyway, I am not very confident this year." ”

Ma Xie felt extremely guilty, he knew that the selection of the Heavenly Martial Sect was not every year, and he decided in his heart that when he saw the sect master later, he must intercede for Zhong Mengqiu and see if he could fight for Zhong Mengqiu a chance.

"Go and see the sect master, Elder Zuo is still waiting for you. Zhong Mengqiu reminded.

"You wait for me here, I'm going to plead with the sect master, I must let them give you a chance, you have been practicing hard for so many years to enter the Heavenly Martial Sect, you shouldn't give up like this!" Ma Xie said to Zhong Mengqiu.

Zhong Mengqiu nodded and said to Ma Xie, "Thank you, Ma Xie." ”

After the two said goodbye, Ma Xie followed Zuo Qing to the Wuying Palace, at this time, the sect leader Wu Yueren, as well as the law enforcement elder Wu Xuan, and several elders in white clothes, were all waiting here for this young man who had created a miracle.
