Chapter 20: The Tomb Sect

I listened to Master's words, sat down opposite him, and looked up, Master's figure just set off the statue of evil ghosts and gods behind him, with a faint firelight, as if he was the one with three heads and six arms.

I've never seen Master so serious, as if he was going to tell me some earth-shattering secret. He didn't speak, and I didn't dare to speak, so I just sat silently.

"Can you memorize the entire book?"

I nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then I'll test you, page 35. What is the fourth paragraph? ”

During this period of time, Master's examination of my book has not been once or twice, and each time I have answered very well, I don't know why I asked again this time, I answered truthfully.

"Qing is a good person, he has his own rules, don't be insatiable, so that he will be crushed to pieces, sixty strings are loose and chaotic, and Qiu Ze is next to the treasure cave in the door."

"Hmm." The old man nodded with satisfaction, and his originally closed eyes slowly opened, looking at me, the youngest disciple, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Let me ask you, do you still want to be the captain of the Golden School?"

I replied with a firm look in my eyes, "Yes!" ”

"Okay, today's events are only known to you and me and the Nine Nether Kings, and they must not be passed on, you know?"

"Yes, disciple, remember." It turned out that the statue was called the Nine Nether King, no wonder it was so hideous and terrifying.

The old man changed his posture, and instead of facing me in the direction of the idol behind him. I saw it so clearly, he actually bowed down to the idol!

He kowtowed three heads slightly, got up and said to the idol, "Nine Nether King, my tomb sect has been breathing so far, and it has withered talents, and the disciple has been in charge of the church for decades, but he has not been able to revitalize my sect, this is the fault of the disciple, I recently saw a talented person, accepted as a disciple, I intend to pass on all my skills, this is also my successor ......"

When I heard the word Tomb Sect, I was stunned! Isn't Master a real Taoist? Isn't it the head of the Cloud Meditation Path? What is the reason why there are ghosts in this view and sects in the sect? I was puzzled, and I waited with a question mark on my head to finish talking to the idol.

"I hope that the Hades King agrees, and I will order my disciple Ji Wulin to inherit my skills, inherit the culture of my faction, and carry forward the ancient tomb faction!"

After the old man finished speaking, he bowed to the idol three times before turning around. Seeing his ruddy complexion, he was obviously very excited just now, tidied up the cloud sweep, and said to me.

"Xiao Lin, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

I've finally waited for this sentence! I feel that the education I have been receiving is the opposite of what is happening today! Hurriedly asked.

"Master, what is the Tomb Sect? Aren't you a Taoist? ”

"It's true that the teacher is a Taoist person, and the people of the ancient tomb sect are also true, I'm afraid this has to be talked about little by little." At this point, he glanced at me, saw that I was fine, and continued.

"When the Tomb Sect was founded, it was the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and at the beginning, it was just a team organized by a group of people from the rivers and lakes to resist Wang Mang of the New Dynasty.

But this army was so poor that they had to dig graves and steal the treasures in exchange for food, and then the group gradually became rich, and began to have the saying that there is a way to steal, and spread the surplus money among the people to win the hearts of the people.

After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this team revolted in Jingzhou and was suppressed by the local state pastor, with heavy casualties, and had no choice but to hide in the mountains and forests.

But the theft and excavation of ancient tombs did not stop there, it was the housekeeping skill of my faction, and it was also the craft of eating, and it has survived in this way for nearly two hundred years.

It wasn't until I couldn't study for a young teacher that I joined this sect, but by the time I was in charge of the Tomb Sect, there were fewer and fewer sect members, and it became more and more difficult to find the ancient tomb.

I have decided to make a ruthless attack and rob a murderous grave that has been identified as the most dangerous, and as long as the excavation is successful, I will send people to be quiet for at least ten years, and I can use this name to recruit the congregation!

And this tomb is right on a dry mountain. On that day, I gathered five brothers and sisters to fight with me, but... But that tomb is even more weird than we imagined, not to mention the heavy mechanism, and it also touched the zongzi. All five of my junior brothers were folded inside, and I was the only one who escaped.

When I climbed out of the thief cave, I happened to meet my master, who was the head of the Tianyun Dao, and he advised me to change my evil ways and cultivate the Tao with devotion. So after ten years I became the most outstanding disciple of his subordinates, and after his death, I took charge of the clouds.

After I became the Dao Master, I sent someone to secretly build a statue of the Nine Nether King here, he is the patron saint of my Tomb Sect, and finally I am determined to choose a disciple with extraordinary talents to pass on all his skills. Don't let the glory of our ancestors be annihilated, understand? ”

I'm stupid... What is this? A father who was a tomb robber sent me to learn the art from another tomb robber? Was it fate or was it arranged early on?

I suddenly had the feeling of falling into a huge whirlpool, suddenly! I remembered that in his words just now, he mentioned the five senior brothers! A bold and frightening thought crossed my mind, and I shuddered and asked,

"Which. Which.. Your.. Name.. Be? ”

"Zhen Yuan!"

"What about nicknames?"

"Ingot gold!"

Ingot gold! The ingots and daughters that the second brother told me in the dream turned out to be him! It's the Master I have always respected and worshipped! Oh my God, I feel bad about the whole person, no wonder he was stunned for a moment when I mentioned it to him that day, it turned out that it was him!

"Which... Which promise?

The old man sighed, his eyes looked at the ground gloomily, "Alas, my senior brother knew that this tomb was dangerous that day, and he agreed before the fight that if someone escaped, he would definitely bring out the bones of the sacrificed brother, but... But I couldn't do it. ”

Speaking of this, I saw that the corners of Master's eyes were a little moist, and I thought that the relationship with several uncles was excellent back then, and when I heard this, I also understood a rough idea, Master was a member of the Tomb Sect when he was young, and later entered Taoism, and now he is the double boss of the Tomb Sect and Taoism!

"Master, then why did I dream of several uncles?"

The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I went to see you that day, and I gave you a worm Gu while you weren't paying attention, uh, don't get excited, listen to me." ”

As soon as I heard that he had wormed me, I couldn't wait to jump up and give him a big mouthful! I've always thought that he took good care of me, and he did all the bad things behind my back!

"That Gu is not an evil Gu, it just makes your mind clearer and remembers things faster, my limit is approaching, I guess I won't have a good life in a few years,

That's why I made this decision, just to let you learn art a few years earlier, there is no way, but if you want to give you Gu unknowingly, it's not easy.

I had to add a piece of soft balm to your lamp oil in advance, and feed you Gu in your sleep, and then you dreamed about my junior brothers, I really can't explain it. ”

The old man looked at me aggrievedly while talking, I knew he was acting, but there was nothing I could do about him, so I had to look at him angrily and not speak, thinking of the water that the second brother gave me to drink... And the bugs that were picked out later...

Alas, a mistake, was calculated by an old man.

"Why did you choose me?"

"You have amazing bones, you are talented, you are a descendant of Captain Jin, and you have a strange book "The Secret Art of Luotu", and you are fifteen years old, you are kind and studious by nature, if it is not you, who else can it be?"

I nodded, and according to logical analysis, the old man was right, I did meet all his requirements, and I asked again.

"Master, do you know my father?"

"Iron pickpocket Ji Xiankang, an insider, who doesn't know."

It turns out that my father is so famous, and he is also an iron pickpocket, and that second-rate son gave it... Since I volunteered to be the captain of the school, well, it's not now, it should be a voluntary fight, the difference between sects doesn't matter anymore, which one is good, anyway, it's all about learning skills and digging ancient tombs.

After thinking about all this, he knelt on the spot and said to the master.

"Master is above, and the disciple voluntarily joins the Tomb Sect to protect the secrets of our sect, never spread them, and never apostasy."

The old man's mouth couldn't close after hearing this, and he said yes again and again, and after clarifying the ins and outs of the matter, I also seemed very happy, I could not only do what I liked, but also be able to get the true inheritance of the master.

When the time comes, like my father, steal a few big buckets, save some money, and then wash your hands in the golden basin, marry your mother-in-law and have children, and buy a big mansion... Well... It's best to have a rockery...

I was in the middle of YY's coolness, and I was interrupted by my master,

"To enter my ancient tomb faction, you need to abide by the rules of my faction, unlike your father's gold school captain, in addition to lighting candles in the southeast corner, my faction also needs to hang copper bells above the coffin, copper bells ring, no opening, when taking things there is a ring, you need to exit quickly, you can't take a thing, dawn, no moon can not fight......"

The master spat and said for half an hour, and I was almost sleepy when I heard it, and I heard his last sentence repeatedly.

"Have you written it all?"

I quickly nodded my head in amnesty, "It's all written down." ”

Fortunately, when he spoke, his eyes were closed, and I didn't know what I was embarrassed just now, but I saw him get up and take out a small brass bell from under the statue.

This bronze bell must be some years old, and there is a lot of green patina on it, and it is decorated with a circle, and there are many symbols painted on it. He put the brass bell in my hand, and I shook the bell a few times as if I had seen a playful toy, and the sound was crisp and long, and it was very good.

He took out a wooden plaque from his sleeve, which was engraved with two seal characters, ancient tomb!

"This is your status in the faction, and from today onwards, the teacher will train you alone every night until you can complete the first mission!"

I took the wooden card in my hand again, and when I heard that there was a task, I was interested and asked.

"What task!?"

"The quest to retrieve your uncle's bones!"

......

......

Everything has been finalized, and the thought of receiving special training from the master every day in the future makes me very happy.

The sky was already slightly bright, I supported the master's excited body, got up and walked outside, came to the main hall, and saw that the old woman in red clothes had already begun to clean.

She didn't say a word, just silently swept the ground with a broom, I looked at her with pity, didn't know what to say, accompanied the master, and walked out.

Yesterday it was too dark to see clearly, and now I found out that this place is a huge hilltop platform, belonging to another ridge, and the dry mountain is connected by a small stone road, no wonder yesterday I felt that the road was narrow, and it was a blessing that I did not fall into the abyss.

Master walked in front, I followed closely behind, the meaning of the two of them crossing the single-plank bridge together, and the vision ahead became wider and wider, I stepped down the stone road, stepping into another world where the future was slim, and I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

PS: From the next chapter, the main theme of our story will come, and the protagonist will also grow up in the next chapter to carry out his master's first mission, and then, a bloody river and lake full of weirdness and bizarre and moral intrigue will appear.
