Chapter 11: The Secret of the Heart

"In ancient times, the southeast of the earth was the spirit world, owned by the spirit race, and outside the spirit world, the Xuan and the underworld were connected to each other and ruled by the Enma clan, but they were cruel by nature, and they were in the company of the demon race, and cruelly persecuted mankind. So the human race at that time established the Xuankun Sect of Ziyun Mountain, and the first sect leader, Emperor Yan Luogu, led the human race to resist with the help of the Spirit Clan, and finally sealed the defeated Enma Clan underground. Since then, the patriarchs of each clan have established their own kingdoms and crowned kings in their respective territories. ”

But as time passed, countries competed with each other, and small countries were swallowed by big countries, and in the end, only seven countries remained: Yi, Yu, Jing, Heng, Ji, Yue, and Wu, forming the current situation of seven countries. However, although the Yama King died, his remnants turned into burning ghosts and survived the world, causing harm to the world, so the world built the west and north worlds with the help of the spirit race. Since then, the inner part of the heavenly realm is the Xuan realm, and the outer realm is the underworld, and the east and south of the Xuan realm are connected to the spiritual world. ”

"In order to reduce the wars and disputes between the great powers, Ziyun Mountain demarcated an area in the center of the Xuan Realm as the central boundary, and the members of each country selected members formed the Elders' Pavilion, and the Elders' Pavilion elected the sect leader, who was responsible for coordinating the interests of the Seven Kingdoms and maintaining the order of the Seven Kingdoms and the overall security of the Xuan Realm. ”

"So, Ziyun Mountain exists to maintain the order of the Seven Kingdoms?" Hong Bin raised his head and asked.

"It can be said that in this martial world, the power of many princes in the Seven Kingdoms has long been far greater than that of the royal family, and these big forces have swallowed each other up and killed each other, and in some countries, the king has long been in name only, and has become a puppet of the big forces. What Ziyun Mountain has to do is to restrain these infinitely expanding forces and maintain the security of the Seven Kingdoms and the livelihood of the people. Mu Zixin looked at Hong Bin, who was holding a pen and paper and concentrating on taking notes, and said with some amusement, "You don't have to remember so seriously, just understand." ”

"Alas, no, my lord, I'm stupid and forget quickly, I have to write it down and go back and review it well!"

Mu Zixin looked at his little notebook, the writing on it was crooked, and there were many typos, but for a child like him who had never been to school since he was a child and was sent to the side to work as a coolie at a young age, it was already very good to be able to learn this by himself.

The day before leaving, Mu Zixin went to Hong Bin's residence to visit him and brought him ointment by the way. Hong Bin's house was close to the prisoners' cells, and the conditions were terrible, the doors had been corroded by the rain, the smell of acid rot, and the furniture was very simple, with only a bed and a table. Hong Bin was busy working in the corner at the time, and was startled when he saw Mu Zixin walk in.

"Little one, meet the Sect Master!"

He knelt on the ground with a "poof", raised his hands and kowtowed to Mu Zixin several times like seeing a living Bodhisattva.

Mu Zixin was also taken aback by him, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up.

"Hurry up, what are you doing?"

"Let you laugh, this is the custom in my hometown, we have to kowtow when we see a big man like you. ”

"Who stipulates this bad habit, don't do it again in the future!" Mu Zixin was a little unhappy, "Where is your hometown, Hong Bin?"

"The Red Mountain of Yuguo," Hong Bin said, patting the dust on his body, "You definitely don't know this place, the Red Mountain is very small, and our family lives in Hongshan Village at the foot of the mountain......"

"Hongshan Village?" Mu Zixin's eyes widened in disbelief, "Wait a minute, I remember that about thirteen years ago, there was a massacre in Hongshan Village, and almost no one from the villagers to the livestock survived," she glanced up and down at Hong Bin again, "Why are you ......?"

"You also said that 'almost' none of them survived," Hong Bin lowered his head, his eyes became a little dark, "I'm afraid I'm the only survivor." ”

After speaking, he raised his head again, looked at Mu Zixin and smiled innocently, I don't know if he was laughing at his luck or misfortune.

"I was only three years old at the time, and I didn't have much of an impression, but I remember that the day before I was slaughtered, my mother and I went to the city to buy something, but I accidentally got lost and got lost, but fortunately I met a very beautiful young lady later...... I've never seen anyone so good-looking, it's like a fairy. She said that she was also from Hongshan Village, bought me delicious food, and took me home......"

Speaking of this, he was suddenly silent for a long time, and Mu Zixin waited patiently, "When we were about to arrive at the village, we saw a large number of Yuguo officers and soldiers gathered at the head of the village, and there were many people who looked very powerful, I could feel the strong momentum on their bodies, so I was very scared...... The young lady seemed to know them, and she stepped forward to say something to a few older brothers, and I sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and then she disappeared with a bang...... I guessed she was going to the village, but she was so fast that no one around her could pull her, and then another fairy-looking aunt came up to me, and I can't remember what she said, but then she took me away......"

"What happened to you?"

"She took me to a very big red house and put me in the care of a funny uncle in a woman's clothes, and I didn't quite understand what was going on, so I asked the uncle what had happened and why I couldn't go home......?

"Then do you see the sister who brought you back to the village?"

"Yes, we often saw each other at that time," said Hong Bin with a smile on his face and raised his head happily, as if reminiscing about a very good time, "She often came to visit me, bought me all kinds of food and clothes, took me to temple fairs, and taught me to read, write, and exercises, although I don't know why she was so kind to me...... She is very gentle and kind, I heard others say that she is very good to everyone, and the people in the Red Fang are very fond of her......"

"Then what, why don't you say it?" Mu Zixin listened intently, urging him.

Then one day she suddenly disappeared as well...... I asked the people around me where she had gone, but the people around me were very nervous, and they told me not to mention her again, and that she was a bad person...... But I don't believe it, she's the best person I've ever met, and everyone used to say that she was good, so why did she suddenly change her mind? Then I explained to everyone that she wasn't a bad person, but everyone who heard it was very angry, because I was locked up in the house for a long time...... Then one day, a stranger, dressed in black and wearing a half-mask, came to the Red House and brought me here, and I asked him why I had come here, and he said that I had committed a crime and was going to be punished here...... But I didn't do anything, and what crime could a six-year-old child commit? I asked him what I had done, and he didn't say anything...... That's all I can remember. ”

Mu Zixin stopped talking, she felt her throat a little tight, and she didn't know what to say, it turned out that she and Hong Bin were the same side plug...... And I'm afraid it's all for the same reason, because of the same people......

"Do you remember that young lady's name?"

Hong Bin shook his head, he looked very lost and tired.

"What were you doing in the corner just now?" Seeing him like this, Mu Zixin immediately changed the topic.

"I'm practicing calligraphy. Hong Bin stood aside, revealing a wall behind her, which had been scratched out of shape, and she saw that the corners were piled with broken spears, rusty knives, and scrap iron.

"That's what that sister taught me, and she said it would be useful to me. Later, I found that these words are really magical, every time I meditate on these in my heart, I will feel a magical power surging in my body, a few times I was seriously injured, and when I meditated on them, the wound was healed," he said proudly, "I was afraid that I would forget, so I practiced every day, and now I am familiar with it!"

Mu Zixin walked to the wall and looked at the dense words on the wall, carved with a knife, these words overlapped and covered, many of them were blurred, but they could still be clearly identified when they looked closely. A tear suddenly flashed in Mu Zixin's eyes.

That's right, this is the heart recipe that only that person knows - "Golden Jade Divine Formula".

She suddenly felt very ridiculous, the secret that countless powerhouses in the Xuan Realm had tried their best to find in the past twenty years, but they had been abandoned in this place, in this corner, under the hands of a young man who had almost no cultivation......

Mu Zixin scraped off a layer of the wall with a wave of her hand, erasing all traces on the wall just right, and she looked at Hong Bin who was stunned in place.

"Tomorrow you go back to Ziyun Mountain with me, if you want, you will be my subordinate in the future, and we will leave this ghost place together!"
