In the secret room, the dim light illuminated Wu Kunshan's weird smiling face.

On weekdays, he always looks like a gentleman and a little elegant.

But at this moment, there was a strange smile on his face.

He looked down at Zhou Yunquan and said with a smile.

"Master, he is an old man, and he didn't pass on the position of head to Senior Brother Yao back then, which has already made a big mistake. So today, Senior Brother, he's back, coming back to get back what belongs to him! ”。

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yunquan, who was already strong-tempered, turned red again, and a wave of anger poured into his mind.

I saw that after he spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "poof", he forcibly held his breath and said angrily.

"You... Unexpectedly... United traitors... To kill.. Master! ”。

The corners of his mouth were still bleeding black blood, and his bloodshot face had already burst into muscles.

Wu Kunshan ignored the other party's words, but laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha~"

He's old, too.

The wrinkles that appear in the corners of his eyes show that he is no longer young.

"Hahahaha. Senior Brother Huang has already gone west, Senior Brother Wang is in the south, and Senior Brother Zhou will not survive tonight, and Senior Brother Zhou, you are also about to go to see the master....Senior Brother Yao has promised me that after the death of Senior Brother in charge, this position of head will be mine! ”。

Zhou Yunquan raised a hand with difficulty, pointed at the other party tremblingly, and said with difficulty while spraying this blood foam in his mouth.

"You....you... This one... Cattle ....".

Before the words fell, I saw Wu Kunshan rushing forward with a big laugh, raising his hand and pressing a palm on the other party's head.

"Senior brother, you are destined not to be lonely on the road to Huangquan!"

The heavy palm covered Zhou Yunquan's eyes. And he was highly poisoned in his body, and he was seriously injured and about to die, but he couldn't stop the other party's palm.

But just before he died with hatred, when he sensed the strange true qi between his palms, he exerted his last strength and said four words.

“… You... Be... That... Black".

In fact, what he wants to say is not just these four words.

It's just that when he said the fourth 'black' word, he was already angry and couldn't speak anymore.

……………………..

………..

The moonlight in the middle of the night is reflected in the fairy mountain in the eyes of the world, and in the mountain, the shadows are crowded, and the clouds and mist are surging in the mountain.

At this time, in a seldom-inhabited forest not far from Sanqing Peak, Zhang Zhenren, who had white hair, was leaning against the bottom of a big tree, wheezing hard.

His chest-length white beard had been stained purple red with blood. And his originally kind face was now pale as frost.

This is a clearing deep in the woods.

There were great trees all around, but only this land was vacant, and no trees or weeds grew.

On the clearing, in addition to the head of the Dao Sect who was leaning against the tree, there was also a person standing.

A man in black wearing a black scarf.

The man in black stood not far away with his hands in his hands, and looked down at Zhang Zhenren in front of him.

Although he had defeated the other man, there was no joy or mockery on his face.

He frowned, revealing the furrow-like wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Songxi, if you are not poisoned, I am afraid that my senior brother will not be able to defeat you."

Yes, although he defeated the other party, he was not victorious, so he frowned.

Zhang Zhenren smiled helplessly.

He didn't find out who poisoned him, nor did he ask why the other party came to kill him, he just asked about the past.

"Senior brother, you left a letter back then and left. Do you know how the master and the brothers and sisters feel?"

When the man in black saw that the other party mentioned the master, his eyes suddenly froze, and a sense of grief and indignation rose in his heart.

He stared indignantly.

"Master, he has passed on the Taiyi True Scripture to you as the head of the family, so what's the use of leaving me!"

Zhang Zhenren's chest floated for a while, and a trace of purple blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth again, but he still looked at the other party and said in a deep voice.

"Senior brother, I thought that abandoning the path and cultivating Buddhism would allow you to let go of the obsession in your heart, but why can't you let go of this matter after so many years?"

When the man in black saw that the other party mentioned cultivating Buddha again, the sadness and indignation in his eyes suddenly became even worse.

But then, he forcibly suppressed this emotion and spoke.

"Senior brother just wants to find a way to solve my doubts, but the master can't solve the confusion in my heart, so I can only look elsewhere."

Zhang Zhenren said weakly, "The Tao is from the beginning to the end. The Tao is perseverance. Senior brother, you are looking for the way everywhere, how can you find that in fact, this way to solve doubts is far away from you."

The man in black said angrily, "The way I want to find is not the way of Taoism, not the way of the master." I think back then, the master boasted of being a Taoist, but who knew that he couldn't even block Lu Yunxian's sword! ”。

Yes, in that battle more than thirty years ago, his master failed to make a sword of Lu Yunxian.

And from that day on, in his heart, he began to doubt whether the path he had cultivated was correct.

It wasn't until later that the master even passed on the position of head to others. He resolutely descended the mountain and escaped into the empty gate.

Zhang Zhenren frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Xianren is a thousand-year-old talent, so naturally it is difficult to have an opponent. But senior brother, since you are seeking a way to solve your doubts, why do you want to do such a bad thing!! ”。

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the man in black suddenly widened, and the true qi in his body uncontrollably opened up.

Then, I saw him turn into a black wind and flash in front of Zhang Zhenren.

He reached out and grabbed the clothes on the other's chest, lifted the other person up, and said angrily.

"For not only did he not solve my doubts, but he also hindered me from my way! Twenty-five years ago, I ......".

Zhang Zhenren was forced by the other party and began to cough violently.

As if sensing the passage of his life force, he forcibly condensed his breath and interrupted the other party's words.

"Senior brother....the master said back then... You are the closest person to the Great Dao of the Dao Sect....and the old man also said to me when he passed on the throne... If one day you can become enlightened... Then you will surely lead us on... A wider road...".

The meaning of the master is very clear.

That is, if his senior brother has enlightened the Dao, then he needs to retreat outside the head of this Dao sect.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the other party not only failed to enlighten the Tao, but was obsessed.

…………………………..

…………

After a long time.

The man in black stood up.

He raised his head and looked at the mountain that had once made him so proud.

He didn't know what the master said.

He thought to himself that if the master had told him this earlier.

Perhaps, he won't go down the mountain either.

But now that it's happened, there's no going back.

He turned, turned his back to the main peak, and headed down the mountain.

However, he finally turned his face sideways and looked at the mountain where he had laughed so much, the mountain that he once wanted to keep with his life.

He stared back.

Time seems to have traveled back decades, back to the day he went down the mountain.

And at that time, he was also like this, looking back at the mountain.

He had forgotten what he had in mind.

He only knew that he was very confused at that time..............
