Chapter 66: Decision
"Huh?"
Tianming and Wuzhiqi were both surprised, they never imagined that Lin Zhongzi would actually say such a thing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wuzhiqi's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Lin Zhongzi, "Lin Zhangjiao, you're not joking with me, are you?" ”
"That's right, master, just now the Wuzhi senior told me what Patriarch Zixiao said back then, are you mistaken?" Tianming also interjected with doubts.
Lin Zhongzi was still smiling, looking at this situation, it seemed that he really didn't come to be embarrassed by Wuzhi, "No mistake, I'm here to let my predecessors out, this is what the patriarch personally said to the heads of the previous generations, and I also told me when I succeeded to the head three hundred years ago." ”
"How is that possible?" Wu Zhiqi was more surprised than anyone else, he took two steps back, with a look of surprise on his face, and bowed his head and said, "How could he let me go!" He was going to kill me. I don't believe it! ”
Then, he raised his head suddenly, pointed at Lin Zhongzi and said, "You must be lying to me, let's do it, don't say more." ”
Lin Zhongzi was still smiling, and he didn't get angry when he behaved like this, but took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to him.
"This is what Patriarch Zixiao asked me to pass down, let me pass it on to you, saying that you will understand it when you read it." Lin Zhongzi said.
The general took the brocade box suspiciously, he was really curious, what would Zixiao Zhenren leave for him? He put the brocade box in front of him, and opened the box with a "click".
There was a letter in the box, and beyond that, there was nothing else. On the cover of the letter are written a few large letters: No Brother Initiation.
The font is strong and powerful, and at a glance, you can know that the person who writes is highly cultivated and cannot be guessed.
Wu Zhiqi looked at the familiar words, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. He picked up the letter and held it like that, not opening it for a long time.
"Senior, open it and take a look." Lin Zhongzi persuaded.
"That's right, senior, open it and take a look." Tianming also persuaded on the side.
For a long time, Wu Zhiqi seemed to have figured it out, and he gently opened the letter. Gently, gently, as if to an old friend whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
What was written in the letter was written by Zixiao Zhenren himself, and the reason why he let go of the unambiguous reason.
It turned out that Zixiao Zhenren and Wuzhi had actually known each other for a long time. Not only that, but the two are also good friends.
Zixiao Zhenren is young and vigorous, and his cultivation is high, and there are few people in the whole world who can afford it. At that time, Wuzhi had been cultivating for more than 2,000 years, and was widely enshi in Huaishui, and was already called the water god by the local people.
It just so happened that at that time, Zixiao Zhenren traveled the world, and when he passed through Huaishui, he heard that there was a water god who responded to his requests, and Zixiao Zhenren naturally didn't believe it. People in the world can't even live forever, where can there be so-called immortals? There must be a demon clan and monsters making trouble. Thinking of this, Zixiao Zhenren asked the locals where Wuzhiqi was, and went straight to find Wuzhiqi, but this time, the two got acquainted.
The cultivation of the two people is rare in the world, although the practice is different, and the race is also different, but the practice method is always the same in some places. After some discussion, the two had the momentum of seeing each other late, and since then, the two have become good friends.
Later, in a trip, Zixiao Zhenren met the green man again, so Zixiao Zhenren introduced, and the green man got acquainted with Wuzhi, and since then, the three of them have traveled together to play in the mountains and rivers, talk about the scriptures, and live a good life.
Although the three of them have different sects and different races, they didn't think so much about it at that time, they just felt that they were with like-minded friends.
Exchanging cultivation experiences and learning spells, that kind of life is really rare in the world.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and later Zixiao Zhenren founded Zixiao Palace, and the connection between the two was less.
At that time, the demon clan was powerful and firmly occupied the vast land of Shenzhou. And the human race is weak, so they can only survive and be oppressed by the demon race. Seeing this situation, Zixiao Zhenren couldn't bear it in his heart, and secretly vowed to lead the rise of the human race.
Therefore, on the one hand, he recruited disciples from several other major sects of the human race at that time, and on the other hand, he recruited a wide range of disciples to provide a talent reserve for future wars. Under the careful teaching of Zixiao Zhenren, for a while, Zixiao Palace was full of talents, far surpassing the rest of the sects, and it was faintly the number one faction of the human race at that time.
A hundred years have passed in an instant, and the power of the human race has become much stronger. As a result, after discussing with the heads of the other four major factions of the human race at that time, Zixiao Zhenren decided to officially start a big war with the demon clan.
As soon as the demon clan came up, they collapsed, after all, they have lived a comfortable life for too long, and they have lost their vigilance, as the so-called "worry and labor can rejuvenate the country, and Yiyu can die" is probably the case.
Later, before the decisive battle between the demon race and the human race, Zixiao Zhenren thought of Wuzhiqi.
Although he has never had anything to do with the demon clan, if the demon emperor lobbied with the life of the demon clan, with his undivided character, he would agree. Thinking of this, Zixiao Zhenren decided that he must not let Wuzhiqi help the demon clan, otherwise, with his cultivation, the human race is afraid that it will be difficult to win, once the human race fails, with the cruel character of the demon race, the human race is only afraid that it will be wiped out by the demon race.
On the one hand, there are human beings, and on the other hand, friends and friendships, which once made Zixiao Zhenren dizzy, and it was still difficult to choose to give up with his cultivation as his state of mind. In the end, he decided to save the Terrans, sacrificing Wuqi and his own friendship with Wuqi.
At that time, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan also thought of Wuzhiqi, but in the end, he was taken first by Zixiao Zhenren, he and Lu Weng were at the bottom of Yunmengze Lake, where the three of them used to talk about the Tao together, and laid down the "Trapped Dragon Que" large array, trapping Wuzhiqi here.
Later, the demon clan was defeated and retreated to the south of the river. But Zixiao Zhenren didn't dare to let go of Wuzhiqi, after all, the taste of being betrayed by his friends was not comfortable, in case Wuzhiqi couldn't think about it, and he devoted himself to the demon clan with hatred. With the help of Wu Zhiqi, if the demon clan makes a comeback, I don't know how many more people will be killed and injured, which is what Zixiao Zhenren does not want to see.
In addition, except for the green man and him, the rest of the human race are afraid that after letting go of Wuzhiqi, Wuzhiqi will join the demon clan. After all, even Zixiao Zhenren and Green Weng didn't dare to guarantee it, let alone the rest of them. At that time, the four major factions all proposed to directly kill Wuzhi to avoid endless troubles. But Zixiao Zhenren didn't agree, he had already been unjust to his friend by trapping Wuzhiqi, and if he killed Wuzhiqi again, he wouldn't forgive himself. But there was opposition within the Terrans, and he couldn't help it. In the end, he decided to use a strategy to cross the sky and sea, and told the other four factions that the validity period of this formation was only three thousand years, and he thought of the friendship with Wu Zhiqi, so he let Wu Zhi live for another three thousand years, and as soon as the three thousand years of effectiveness arrived, Zixiao Palace would naturally kill him.
At the beginning, the heads of the other four factions were not allowed, but after all, Zixiao Zhenren was still famous and powerful at that time, even if they were unwilling, they reluctantly agreed in the end.
However, for the sake of secrecy, Zixiao Zhenren did not tell Wu Zhiqi the truth, he said to Wu Zhiqi that the "Trapped Dragon Que" only has a three-thousand-year statute of limitations, and if Wu Zhiqi fails to unlock the formation after three thousand years, he will let the later Zixiao Palm Sect cooperate with the "Zhuxian Killing Array" in this formation to kill him on the spot.
However, the formation is only 3,000 years old, and there is no so-called "Immortal Killing Array" in the formation, and Zixiao Zhenren does not intend to let the Zixiao Palm Sect kill Wuzhi in the future. All of this is just a deliberate act of Zixiao Zhenren, otherwise the people of the other four factions will find out the truth, even with the prestige of Zixiao Zhenren, I am afraid that it will not be able to be divided.
Originally, others didn't know all this, and Zixiao Zhenren didn't plan to tell others. Until the day before his feathering, after some struggle, he still decided to tell his disciple at that time, who was also the second head of Zixiao Palace, the nameless real person, and instructed the nameless real person not to tell outsiders, and left a token of sensing "Trapped Dragon Que", that is, the jade pendant used by Lin Zhongzi when he entered the cave.
The nameless real person actually secretly came to see Wuzhi a few times, but he was not discovered by Wuzhiqi. Later, before the death of the Nameless True Immortal, he still disobeyed the order of Zixiao Zhenren and told his disciple the reason for the incident, that is, the Changkong Zhenren of the Zixiao Palace Sect at that time. In this way, this secret was passed down from generation to generation by the head of the sect, and it became the secret of the successor of the Zixiao Palace head sect, until it reached the hands of Lin Zhongzi.
At this time, the time of three thousand years is almost up. Originally, Zixiao Zhenren's last wish was not to tell the truth about the matter.
But what kind of person is Lin Zhongzi, Yuxu Peak defeated the Demon Emperor, drove the demon clan to 100,000 mountains, and his reputation caught up with the Zixiao Zhenren back then, so naturally he would not follow the rules. He felt in his heart that if Zixiao Zhenren could live until now, he was afraid that he would also tell the truth without ambiguity. What's more, Lin Zhongzi himself also sympathized with the former demon emperor of the demon clan, Mingkong, but unfortunately the two of them still couldn't escape their fate, and in the end, Mingkong committed suicide by jumping off the cliff. Because of this incident, Lin Zhongzi is still haunted by it and can't be relieved for a long time. He can understand Zixiao's real people's difficulties, and naturally he feels empathy. So, in the end, he decided to tell the truth to Wuzhi.
Although Zixiao Zhenren wrote this letter, he actually didn't want to give it to Wu Zhiqi, but Lin Zhongzi felt that the ancestor had been wronged and should not be silent, so he brought this letter to Wu Zhiqi today.
