Chapter 49: The Mystery
Feiluan's words made Xie Qingning silent for a long time, and from her own heart, of course she was willing to follow her master and senior brother back to the valley and continue to live a carefree life, and she could also cultivate with peace of mind and not be disturbed by any mundane affairs.
However, reliving her life made her understand that cultivation is against the sky, and if she is carefree, she will not be able to die well, as if her previous life was smooth sailing but fell short at the last moment.
Besides, unlike in her previous life, she was helpless in this life, so she could only follow her master back to live in the valley. Regardless of her unease about Xie Huazhao and Xie Tan, as well as the real reason for tracking down Xie Hualing's previous life to frame her, and her mother's affairs that need to be investigated, coupled with what happened in the broken temple last night, it also made her realize that the old man's death was not so simple, and it was clear that someone was unwilling to let him send the cultivation secret book to him.
She remembered what the old man had said before he died, since he was ordered by the lord to go to Lanling City to deliver something to himself regardless of his safety, then who was his lord? Why did he send himself cheats? What does he have to do with himself? Who is the man in black who chased and killed the old man all the way? Why did he pursue the matter? His cultivation is at least at the level of Yuan Ying, and who is controlling him? What is their purpose?
A series of questions made Xie Qingning realize that her life experience was probably more complicated than she imagined, she had no clues in her previous life and could not be traced, since she had a breakthrough in this life, how could she give up easily?
After thinking about it, Xie Qingning finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hide it from Master, Qingning still has important matters to deal with, and I can't follow Master back to the valley to practice for the time being. ”
"It's okay," Feng Gucheng nodded, "Since you have worshiped me as a teacher, I can't let you go, you come over and pass on something to you for the teacher, it can be regarded as a testimony of you and my master and apprentice." ”
Xie Qingning hurriedly walked over, only to see him get up slowly, his right finger raised slightly, and his fingertips touched her forehead, and immediately a clear breath slowly merged into the spiritual platform, and a lot of things encroached on her sea of knowledge, making her frown unacceptably for a while.
"These are all knowledge and examples of cultivation that Master has collected throughout his life, and they are very useful to you, so you don't rush to read them one by one, just take a moment to pass by, and consider the future path according to your own situation." Feng Gucheng withdrew his finger and asked Feiluan to hand her a map and said, "The red heart marked in this map is the location of my valley, if you want to come, you are welcome to come." He reached out and took out a white jade plaque from his arms, let Xie Qingning drip blood into it, and conjured the word "Qingning" in the jade with spiritual power, and then handed it to her, "This is your identity jade plaque, with it, the obstacles and enchantments outside the valley will be unhindered by you, and you can enter and exit freely." ”
"Thank you, Master." Xie Qingning's heart warmed slightly, solemnly put the jade plaque in his arms, bowed down to the master and brother, thanked him, and sent them out of the village before reluctantly returning to the farmhouse.
The farmer and his wife, who had just returned from the field, were preparing lunch, and when they saw her coming back, they greeted her politely, "Girl, the meal is almost ready, you can also come and eat some, it's all some coarse grains, and the girl should not dislike it." ”
"Where, thank you to the uncle and aunt for taking us in." Xie Qingning took out the broken silver from his arms and insisted on stuffing it into them, and then returned to the room, only to see that the black cat had woken up, although the cat's eyes were still a little cloudy, but there was no worry about his life.
"Are you alright?" Xie Qingning experienced this life and death with him, and he felt very different, and his voice revealed a thick concern and worry.
"I can't die, it's just that whoever wrapped the bandage for me, it's ugly and dead." Although the black cat is a little weak, it can still joke, which shows that the body is fine.
Xie Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh, "It's me who has troubled you." ”
"What are you talking about, you and I have made a contract, you can't live if you die, how can you divide each other." The black cat deliberately took a sip, unwilling to hear her say those sad words, so she changed the subject and asked, "Those two people are your master and senior brother in your previous life, right?" ”
"You can see it." Xie Qingning sat on the edge of the bed, looking a little stunned, and about to think of the events of her previous life, the black cat asked her curiously, "Then why don't you go back to the valley with them to cultivate?" It's supposed to be a paradise, right? ”
"Yes, it's indeed a paradise," Xie Qingning smiled bitterly, "But you can also see that the man in black has an extraordinary background, and the old man who sent me the scriptures is entrusted by others, and he even cares about his life to hand over the secret book to me, it can be seen that the person he ordered has a close relationship with me, how can I turn a blind eye?" ”
"So, you suspect that the person who sent you the scriptures may be your father who has not been able to find out for many years?"
The black cat's words made Xie Qingning stunned, and asked in surprise, "How do you know these things?" ”
She had never told Black Cat about her background, so she was very surprised.
"You and I have made a contract, so naturally there are some things I can know if I want to know," the black cat deliberately sold a pass, but Xie Qingning quickly reacted and said angrily, "You actually stole my memory while I was unconscious?" ”
"Do you still need to steal?" The black cat rolled her eyes, "You keep dreaming yourself, I can't do it if I don't want to." ”
Xie Qingning was speechless, so he had to turn sideways and ignore him.
Seeing that she was really angry, the black cat smacked her tongue and explained helplessly, "I really didn't mean to, you kept babbling when you were unconscious, and your mother and father for a while, and what kind of escape and so on, I heard it, and your master and brothers must have heard it, they probably didn't plan to accept apprentices when they saw you being pitiful." ”。
Xie Qingning knew that the origin of "Feng Ningyu" was extraordinary and powerful, and when the master handed it over to him in his previous life, he solemnly told him not to allow anyone to discover its existence, otherwise it would not only bring disaster to her, but also to the entire valley, so she couldn't tell the black cat master that it was because of Feng Ningyu that she had to be accepted, so she could only answer vaguely, "It should be." ”
