Principal Huang said in a low voice: "My master led the people, asked my junior brother to lead the way, and rushed to the scene in the afternoon of the same day, all 5 soldiers died, except for the person who was controlled by the illusion magic that the senior brother said, they found that the deceased still had bullets from my junior brother's gun. At the scene, my junior brother was arrested as a murderer, and my junior brother defended that in order to fight with the spirit officer, he put the gun aside, because the bullet could not injure the spirit officer. ”

"Naturally, no one believes this statement, the junior brother said that there is not much difference between him and the spiritual officer's realm, but why is the junior brother afraid of bullets, and the spiritual officer is not afraid?"

"In order to save my junior brother, my master had no choice but to ask to meet Taizu, because this matter was related to the trust of the cultivators in the team, the uncle who was already well-known under Taizu at that time made a lot of efforts, he didn't care about other people's rumors, and insisted on introducing my master to Taizu, Taizu estimated that half of the curiosity of the cultivator at that time, and the trust in my uncle accounted for the other half, so he agreed to agree with my master. ”

"After Master met Taizu, what happened, Master never told me, but since he came back, we cultivators have been ordered to withdraw from our respective teams, and Senior Brother Minghui was soon released, and we went to Jindong together and joined a newly established organization, which is what we now call the Secret Service, and the first director at that time was my uncle. ”

"After the establishment of the secret service, we first wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with the spirit world, according to Taizu, it is to unite all those who can be united, for us, as long as the other party can fight the dwarf soldiers with us, we welcome him to be demons and monsters. Therefore, we chose to work in Jindong, where the activities of the spirit creatures and the dwarf soldiers are more active, and maintained great restraint on the activities of the spirit world, for some deaths that are obviously caused by the spirit creatures, we chose to be patient, my master even thought of many ways to contact with the spirit creatures, hoping to be able to shift their attention to the dwarf soldiers, and even once after catching a strange ghost who had a conflict with us, he still chose to let go, but these were ineffective, and finally an incident happened, so that our view of the spirit creatures was completely reversed, and we no longer called them spirit officials, but called them strange ghosts。 ”

Principal Huang turned his head to look at Zheng Fang, and then said: "The first political commissar of our secret service is not a cultivator, but the wife of a leader in Jindong, named Yang Yuhua, this political commissar has no prejudice or resistance from ordinary people against us, nor does he have the arrogance of ordinary leaders' families, she was pregnant at that time, with a big belly, we all took good care of her, not to mention that ordinary physical work would not let her do it, even if it was a matter of running a few steps, we had to press her and run for her." She is a very gentle woman, she gets along well with everyone, my master and uncle treat her as a daughter, and we are Sister Yang and Sister Yang call her short, and we really treat her as a family member. ”

"On January 26, 1944, I remember very well that day was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the New Year party was organized in the department, and the next day everyone rested, and some people went to the garrison in a nearby town to pay New Year's greetings. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Sister Yang's husband came to him and said that Sister Yang had not come home since last night. We were all surprised, yesterday's party ended early, and after lunch, Sister Yang should go back. Sister Yang's husband said that Sister Yang was a local, and he thought that Sister Yang had gone back to her parents' house last night, and he was busy with something, so he didn't pay attention until this morning when Sister Yang's mother's house asked them to go back for dinner, and he found out that Sister Yang had been missing for almost a day. ”

"My master had a bad premonition at that time, because during the party yesterday, he faintly felt a little fluctuation of spiritual power, but such a fluctuation could not make him vigilant, if it was really a strange ghost, then the realm of this strange ghost was high and terrifying, you must know that at that time, my master was already similar to Ge Tianlai's current realm, and he was breaking through the virtual realm, and the general transformation realm in front of him could not hide it, let alone my uncle, there was no feeling at all. ”

Although a large group of people had a bad premonition in their hearts, they still divided into several teams and looked around for Sister Yang's traces, until that afternoon, when news came that Sister Yang's traces were found in a village more than 20 miles away from our station. That village, like Gao Li Zhuang, was bloodied by the dwarf soldiers last night, and Sister Yang was also unfortunately killed. ”

"This village, like Gao Lizhuang, was alerted in advance, not to mention it, just Sister Yang, a pregnant woman, walked out of more than 20 miles in the snow, hid the sight of several guards along the way, and sent herself to the knife edge of the dwarf soldier, this is a suspicious thing. ”

"We are also very puzzled, if it is said that this thing was done by a strange ghost, what is the purpose of so much effort for him to lure a woman over from so far away? If it is not done by a strange ghost, how can we explain the strangeness in this? In the end, my master judged that this was a strange ghost demonstrating against us. ”

"We didn't go to that village, only my master and uncle went. It is said that the scene was extremely miserable, the dwarf soldiers slaughtered and tortured as if they had lost their humanity, and the child in Sister Yang's belly was also dissected. When we returned to the station, Master and Uncle called us to a meeting, and only one thing was announced at the meeting, that from now on, we would start a war with the spirit world and never die. The war with the dwarf soldiers is fought by the warriors, and the war with the spirit realm is up to us cultivators. ”

"After that, we searched for the boundary gate, arranged an ambush, won several battles, and eliminated many strange ghosts, but then the strange ghosts also became vigilant, and our casualties gradually increased. At that time, I still had two junior brothers, Nuo," Principal Huang said, pointing to the two tablets standing side by side with his uncle, "Minghui and Mingjing, these are the two who also died in that battle." ”

Principal Huang stared at the tombstones of the two junior brothers with inexplicable meaning: "Among the brothers and sisters who came down from Jinxiu Mountain together, Minghui is the least courageous, and when he is in a hurry, he stutters when he speaks, so when the 824 incident occurs, he will be regarded as a murderer, Mingjing is a greedy eater, and he likes spicy mutton noodles the most, so we will come down from the mountain, and we can't get used to eating the food from the north, and we can't stand the sheep's gas, but Mingjing likes it very much, and every time I don't eat two big bowls, I can't stop my mouth." ”

"I don't know if they considered Uncle Shi's question when they sacrificed, but I think Uncle Shi must have thought about it himself and found the answer. I was just like you at the time, and I had questions about this, and the two junior disciples said in front of me that they would die because the master asked them to cultivate? It was because of the orders from the team? I couldn't help but ask myself, if I died for these two reasons, would it be worth it? What is the purpose of my cultivation?"

Principal Huang lowered his head, looked at the silent tombstone in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I am an orphan, when I was a child, my biggest wish was to eat a full meal, and then I went up the mountain, and I was able to eat enough almost every day, and my biggest wish became to be successful in cultivation, to make Master satisfied, to Tong'an, to Jibian, to Jindong, all of which are the same, but for Master to be satisfied, it is not that Master asked me to die, I have to die?" There is no such reason in the world, those slaughtered villages, Sister Yang who died tragically, my two junior brothers, is their death worth my life again?"

Principal Huang glanced at Zheng Fang and said in a low voice: "But I thought, if I retreat now, if one day, strange ghosts take the initiative to come to the door, what should I do? Therefore, I think that the purpose of my cultivation can only be to keep getting stronger, not only so that the strange ghosts can't hurt me, but I also want to destroy those strange ghosts, until we cultivators can cultivate well, and the human world is no longer threatened by the strange ghosts, and at that time, if I am still alive, I will inherit the master's last wish again, pursue the Great Dao, and glorify the sect. ”

Principal Huang stared at Zheng Fang and said slowly: "The sages said that there is a great terror between life and death, and it is human instinct to be afraid of death, and it is not ridiculous. It was because I was afraid of death that I was determined to fight the strangers, because the presence of the strangers threatened my survival. As for the possibility of being killed by strange ghosts, of course there is, but there is no way, the skills are not as good as people, so I have to cultivate hard, but being able to fight is better than being caught with my hands tied and killed by the neck, I think so, so what do you think, classmate Zheng Fang?"

Zheng Fang heard Principal Huang's question, hesitated and was about to speak, but Principal Huang smiled and waved his hand: "You just need to think about it yourself, don't tell me." As he spoke, he slowly stood up and looked around at the rows of tombstones at his feet, "What is the purpose of cultivation, I believe that everyone in our school has their own answer, even if they don't have it now, there will be one in the future, if you ask Principal Ge, I can answer you for him, I know that you can't beat the ghost, but I still want you to go up, I want you to die, there will only be one reason." ”

He lowered his head and looked at Zheng Fang, who stood up with him: "Because there is no more suitable person than you, you have no way to hide, and you can't escape anymore, for example, now, without this school, without these classmates and teachers, strange ghosts are coming, who are you not going to go? Let ordinary people go to school? Let your parents, brothers and sisters go? So, when it's time to die, you can only go to death." ”

Zheng Fang frowned, thinking about Principal Huang's words, Principal Huang pinched the cloth bag and walked slowly down the slope, saying as he walked: "That question, you can think about it slowly, when do you think it's better to leave the school, it's better not to fight with the ghosts, you can leave at any time, our school really doesn't have the tradition of forcing people to die, and it's not worth competing with your child." ”
