Chapter 138: Inflection Point
The inkstone that Liang Chen took out was just an ordinary stone inkstone, which was neither a magic weapon nor a valuable antique.
But for the master of Luming Academy, it has extraordinary significance.
Because the system clearly states that this object is the real thing that the Master used when he was young!
Merely......
Since this inkstone was used by the master when he was young, it has been sixty or seventy years since now, can he really recognize that this is his own inkstone?
Liang Chen maintained strong doubts about this.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
After all.
The years can fade away, but cause and effect are difficult to extinguish.
Sure enough.
The next moment he saw this inkstone, the old man subconsciously let out a soft sigh, and then reached out to take the inkstone and took a closer look.
Soon a warm smile appeared on his face.
"I really didn't expect to see it here after so many years. ”
Hearing this, Liang Chen immediately bowed to the two of them and said, "Disciple Liang Chen, I have seen the master and the senior brother. ”
Zong Qingyang smiled and shook his head, as if he glanced at his teacher with some reproach.
It's obvious.
The two of them originally did not intend to reveal their identities in front of Liang Chen.
Otherwise, as early as when they first met, they could have spoken out.
But Liang Chen did the opposite.
Simply pierced this layer of window paper.
The reason is simple.
Now I know that you two are Master and Senior Brother.
You still want to drive me down the Burial Sword Mountain, it's not appropriate, right?
The master obviously didn't expect that Liang Chen would recognize the identities of the two of them, so he could only cough dryly and say, "It seems that you are not willing to leave the academy." ”
Liang Chen replied without humility or arrogance: "The academy is the academy of the master, if you really want me to leave, naturally you don't need to discuss with me, but I really want to know, why?"
Yes.
This is the question that Liang Chen can't understand the most.
You know, now he is no longer the stunned young man when he first started.
He is the record holder of the five-rank Dan Master, the four-rank rune master, the inner courtyard selection examination, the record holder for the shortest time in the first forty floors of the Town Demon Pavilion, and is known as the first person in the outer courtyard, holding half of the Immortal Academy, half of the Si Xiang Academy, and half of the Four Elephant Courtyards.
The six courtyard masters unanimously agreed that Liang Chen was the successor of Zong Qingyang in the future.
At least in Liang Yuling's love of opening the sea and entering the Tao.
From a certain point of view, even if Liang Chen claims to be the strongest Tianjiao in Luming Academy in the past ten years, there is no problem.
No matter how you look at it, he is the future of the academy in the eyes of the masters, teachers, and disciples.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the master to give him to the other five major factions for no reason.
There is no justification in itself.
So Liang Chen asked why.
But it's a pity that neither the master nor the senior brother Zong Qingyang seem to have any intention of answering.
But the master suddenly asked back: "Why did you kill Xu Zheng?"
Liang Chen was slightly stunned.
Then he frowned unconsciously.
Xu Zheng.
It is the Xu steward of the Wang family.
It was the first person Liang Chen killed after coming to this world.
It was also the first person he killed before he opened the sea and entered the Tao.
At that time, he had no aura and didn't know how to do the exercises, so he relied on his skills, experience, and skills as a mercenary in his previous life to complete the killing of an adult man.
This also opened his true invincible road.
Because it was the money bag of Steward Xu that activated "The Legend of Liang Xiuxian".
But what Liang Chen didn't expect was.
Now it seems that the most inconspicuous and least important murder case he committed in theory has attracted the attention of many big people one after another.
For example, the Inspector of the Three Prefectures of the Adjudication Division, Cao Qing.
Another example, Master.
This is as unreasonable as the master wants to drive Liang Chen down to the Burial Sword Mountain.
Because after Steward Xu, there were more people who died in Liang Chen's hands.
From the perspective of comprehensive strength, Liang Chen killed Wang Linfeng.
In terms of the number of deaths, Liang Chen destroyed the Wang family.
Even to put it more rebelliously, Liang Chen also quietly killed his fellow disciples, that is, He Mian, who attacked Courtyard A day and night.
As for what kind of Black Dragon Society Old Continent Chengyuan, Yang Huaixian and others from the Immortal Academy taught it, it is even less worth mentioning.
But why does everyone attach so much importance to a small Wang family steward?
Liang Chen secretly sighed, and then responded: "Because when my sister was working in the Wang family, she was reprimanded by Manager Xu many times. ”
"That's all?"
Liang Chen looked at the old man's calm eyes, and felt a little short of breath for a while.
The Master did not exud even the slightest hint of spiritual pressure.
But it gave Liang Chen an unparalleled sense of oppression, and even made it difficult for him to breathe.
But that innate strong heart, as well as the countless terrifying experiences between interrogation and life and death in his previous life, made Liang Chen grit his teeth and nod heavily.
"And I heard that he has always coveted his sister's beauty and wants to do bad things. ”
I didn't think about it.
The master still shook his head: "This is still not enough. ”
"What do you want to ask? ”
"I want to ask, do you know what makes your sister special?"
Liang Chen was silent for a moment, and then squeezed out an ugly smile: "Her cultivation talent is very good. ”
Of course, this is a big truth, but when it comes out of Liang Chen's mouth, there is something that wants to cover up.
The master sighed, took the square stone inkstone in his hand, and then pulled out a cyan jade pen from his sleeve.
"I can't take anything from you for nothing, so I'll give it to you. ”
Seeing this, the laziness in Zong Qingyang's eyes melted a lot, and the smile on the corner of his eyebrows became even stronger.
Liang Chen respectfully took the pen, and a hint of discoloration appeared on his face.
The dark cyan pen body was cold and refreshing, and it did not resonate with Liang Chen's sea of qi, but it made him inexplicably feel a strange sense of blood connection.
As if the pen was meant to be his.
"This pen name is Jinghong, it just so happens that you are now in the Sixiang Courtyard, and you may be able to use it. ”
Liang Chen's eyes lit up.
For the talismans of the Four Elephant Temple, the pen in their hands is the sword in their hearts.
Only a sword from a famous master can have its own name.
The same goes for pens.
Therefore, Liang Chen knew that the amazing pen given to him by the master, even if it was not a high-level magic weapon, it was definitely not a vulgar thing.
He happily put it in the Sumeru bracelet and bowed to the master again.
"The disciple will live up to the master's expectations......"
The Master nodded, as if that was the end of today's conversation, and immediately turned around to leave.
But Liang Chen's voice came from behind again.
"But the disciple still has one more thing to ask for. ”
The master turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liang Chen lowered his head and said respectfully, "The disciple still wants to ask the master for a talisman." ”
"Ice, Fire and Cold Heaven Talisman?"
Liang Chen was shocked, and then nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Just a moment ago, he was still going to return to the No. A courtyard and gamble with the spirit stones he had in hand through the method of drawing single products.
But now that he has met his master, he naturally has a better choice.
Luming Academy is the most special one among the six major factions of Daliang.
Or more accurately, the most inclusive one.
The way of the sword, the way of the rune, the way of the Dan, the way of the array, everything is passed.
And the old man is an outstanding representative of the unity of all laws.
As early as when Liang Chen had not yet come to Luming Academy, he had heard about the master's various great achievements from the mouth of the third elder Zhang Xingzhi.
For example, the master once served as the host of the Great Guangming Temple, and he also had a wine conversation with the holy woman of Tianchi, went to the Tibetan Sword Villa to gamble and win the divine sword, discussed the road with the palace master of Hanxiao Palace for three nights, plucked the beard of the master of Wanshou Pavilion, and broke the Qishan Sword Formation at the Kendo Conference.
Therefore, the master understands the sword, the Dan, the array, the nature, and the Fu.
The Ice and Fire Cold Heaven Talisman was the secret technique of the Cold Sky Palace, but Liang Chen believed that this was not a great thing for the master.
That's why he opened his mouth so openly.
I want to seize this hard-won opportunity.
And the master did not disappoint Liang Chen, only to see him stretch out his fingertips, lightly swiped the complicated lines of qi in the air, and then picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, and gently engraved the rune on it, the rune leaf floated to Liang Chen's palm, light as a feather, but as heavy as Mount Tai.
Liang Chen's eyes widened, looking at his master's miraculous calligraphy technique, he was intoxicated for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
There are not many people in this world who have the privilege of witnessing the Master's action.
Even if it's just a drawing of an ice, fire, and cold heaven talisman.
So this is Liang Chen's great opportunity.
Seeing that Liang Chen seemed to have entered some kind of mysterious realm of enlightenment, the master's eyes were not too relieved, but he sighed again and shook his head.
He didn't bother Liang Chen, but took Zong Qingyang into the clouds and mist in the mountains.
Zong Qingyang's face resurfaced with that layer of laziness that seemed to have remained unchanged for ten thousand years, and he asked his master, "Does he really know?"
The Master replied, "I only know what it is, but I don't know why." ”
"So it seems that the teacher is planning to break the jar?"
That sounds a bit ridiculous.
But the master didn't care at all, but smiled: "Didn't he say it, everything is predestined, so whether to expel him from Burial Sword Mountain is not so important." ”
"Isn't the teacher really shirking his responsibilities?"
"What do children know ......"
"I'm not small......"
The voices of the two became more and more faint, until they could no longer be heard.
The appearance of the master and the senior brother did not disturb anyone except Liang Chen.
Even Gu Haoran always thought that these two were still seeking a way in the desert.
The whole Luming Academy.
No.
It should be said that the entire Great Liang Dynasty would not have thought that Master and Zong Qingyang would suddenly return to Luming Academy, just to take a look at Liang Chen, and no one would realize what kind of surprise the seemingly unremarkable, and even somewhat inexplicable conversation between the three of them would bring to the entire Great Liang cultivation world.
Human history has unconsciously turned a corner here.
