Volume I, Chapter 15, respectively
Ji Chen walked with Ling Dao people in this small secret realm where they had lived for a year.
Neither of them spoke, because neither knew how. They all just silently accompanied each other, in these last hours.
"In vain. Ling Daoren stopped and called out to Ji Chendao.
"In vain. Ji Chen replied from behind Ling Daoren.
"Let's go in. ”
Ahead is a grand hall.
"Hmm. Ji Chen replied silently.
The final moment is coming.
Ling Daoren stood in front of the Sect Master's throne and looked back at Ji Chen.
Looking at the sadness on Ji Chen's face, he said in a deep voice: "Apprentice, from the time I accepted you as an apprentice, I knew that we would eventually have a parting. You still have many memories of mortal dust, but the only memory of Master here is you. Although Master also wants to accompany you, this is not realistic after all.
The honor of the sect tells me that I must go to war! There is still a war on the periphery, and I am destined to go to war...... So many people in the sect have died on the battlefield, and I can't be missing on the battlefield. If I avoid the war, after I pass away, how will I explain to the many brothers and sisters of the sect, the masters and uncles? I have asked the Heavenly Court for such a long time off, and it is time to go back......
Ji Chen's eyes gradually turned red, even if he had strength, he was still a child, and the master was taking care of him all year.
There was no one in the mountains, and this year, he was the only one who depended on his master. But no matter how reluctant he is, it is impossible for him to keep his master.
Master also has his own tasks. It was impossible for him to go to the periphery to join the battle with the master. First, he was still too weak, and his master could not be optimistic about him on the battlefield, and the master himself was ready to die in battle.
Second, there are still Ji Chen's memories in the mortal dust, and he still wants to see his parents, live in the mortal dust, and fulfill his grand wish.
Ji Chen choked up and said, "Master...... Master, don't ...... Worried about the fugitive, futile ...... You've grown up and become stronger! You won't be bullied, so you can go to war with peace of mind. ”
Ling Daoren smiled and wiped away his tears for Ji Chen: "Silly apprentice, what are you crying about, Master is not dead yet." It doesn't have to be dead. Be happy, no one will force you to cultivate in the future. ”
Ling Daoren touched Ji Chen's head.
Ji Chen held back his tears, looked at his master, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to Ling Daoren, and shouted loudly: "Master! You are waiting for me in the periphery! I will come to you! I will become strong enough as soon as possible, and then I will also come to participate in the war, without losing the face of our sect, I will become stronger than you, and you will be able to retire at that time! Spend your old age in peace, and your responsibilities will be handed over to the disciple!"
Ling Daoren was stunned, he didn't expect this disciple who had such a memory of Fan Chen to say this. This disciple still has dreams in mortal dust. "Hmm. Ling Daoren stroked Ji Chen's hair and nodded.
"Don't talk about these sad things. Ling Daoren was a little encouraged and said, "I have something important to tell you. ”
"It's a mission, isn't it?" Ji Chen asked.
"That's right. It's so clever that it's worthy of my apprenticeship. Ling Daoren complimented, and then Ling Daoren took out a mobile phone, handed it to Ji Chen, and said: "There is a phone number left in this mobile phone, which is the phone number of the contact person of the heavenly enterprise, and your task is to assist them, no matter what." The deadline for participation in this mission is August 1, 2016, which is now in the mortal calendar. ”
"Hmm. Ji Chen nodded, and then took the phone from Ling Daoren's hand.
Ling Daoren took out another mask and handed it to Ji Chen.
"Mask, why do I want this?" Ji Chen wondered.
"Fool, you're only fifteen years old now. ”
"So what? I've got the skills. ”
Ling Daoren smiled: "Even if you have the ability, the team you are in will not be relieved that you are a child joining them. Your height is not much different from that of an adult, but your face is too childish, and it would be nice to wear this mask. ”
"Oh. Ji Chen nodded.
"Come, put the mask on and take a look. Ling Daoren used his energy to turn into a mirror on the stone table, and asked Ji Chen to put on a mask and then look in the mirror.
Ji Chen followed Ling Daoren's instructions and picked up the mask and put it on his face, then looked at the mirror.
Ji Chen saw his face from the mirror, and the age of the face in the mirror looked to be about 21 years old, which was almost the same as Ji Chen's current appearance, but it was more mature, took off its childishness, and moved towards maturity.
"It's amazing. Ji Chen rubbed his mask and said, "It's like it's real." "This is the mask I made for you to figure out what you'll look like in a few years, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied!" Ji Chen loudly expressed his attitude towards this mask.
"Under the realm of heaven, no one can take it off unless you want to. ”
"Uh-huh. Awesome. ”
The pain of parting was washed away a little.
Ling Daoren took out another sword, the sword was black all over, and it was engraved with cumbersome runes, even if the sword light was restrained, he could feel the cold glow emitted by the sword body.
Ling Daoren withdrew the sword into its scabbard, which was jet black, and although it was old, it was still very intact.
"This is the token of the sect, the token of the big disciple, it is called the sound of the world, it is cast by the founder of the sect, and it is the treasure of the world level.
Don't make too much use of this sword, and I'll seal it for you. It can only unleash its full power three times a year.
Normally, in your hands, it is just an arcana, which corresponds to your realm, and of course it will have characteristics that ordinary arcanas do not have.
If you can't conceive a natal treasure, use this sword. Ling Daoren instructed and solemnly handed over Qi to Ji Chen.
"From today onwards, you will officially become the fifty-fourth generation of the Great Disciple of this sect. Hurry up and meet the patriarchs. ”
"Hmm. Ji Chen nodded, then knelt down, and shouted: "I am the fifty-fourth generation disciple of the Yandao Sect - Ji Chen." I swear here that I will never betray my sect, and I will definitely magnify my Dao sect in the future!"
Ling Daoren stepped forward, helped Ji Chen up, bowed to the throne of the sect again, and said: "The fifty-third generation of the sect master, Ling Luo, has passed down the inheritance of the sect, I will not humiliate the face of the sect, I will pass on the honor of the sect!"
Ling Daoren took out another ring, handed it to Ji Chen, and said with a smile: "I don't want to say more about the function of the ring, haven't you always wanted one? It's enough for your cultivation. When it's not enough, you can go back to the sect and get it, and this small world will be yours from now on. ”
After Ji Chen took the ring from Ling Daoren's hand, he directly put it on his thumb. I can't tell what material this ring is made of, and it has a black metallic color, but it doesn't feel metallic when worn.
Ling Daoren was a little bit in the center of Ji Chen's eyebrows again, and a mark was directly transmitted to Ji Chen's primordial spirit.
"What is this?" Ji Chen felt the imprint on the heart of the Yuan Shen's eyebrows.
"It's the key, the key to this place. In the future, when you reach the secret realm, it will allow you to open the door to the secret realm and return here. Ling Daoren said softly: "Here, this is the last gift left by the master for you, this secret realm is all yours, you can read the books in it if you want, and you can pass it on to whoever you want." But you have to be cautious, because those who have practiced the secrets of my sect must go to the periphery to participate in the war. You have to explain the cause and effect to him first, and he is willing to take on this responsibility, so that you can pass it on, you know?"
"Well, the disciples will be cautious. ”
Ling Daoren helped Ji Chen up from the ground, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Okay, everything that should be explained has been explained, Master, it's time for me to leave, either you leave overnight tonight, or you can leave tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, Master, let the apprentice give you one last ride. Ji Chen pleaded.
"Hmm. ”
Ling Daoren strode towards the place where the altar was, and Ji Chen followed closely behind Ling Daoren.
Eventually, Ling Daoren walked up to the altar, and Ji Chen was standing under the altar, he was sending Ling Daoren away.
Ling Daoren injected energy into the altar and activated it, the light covered Ling Daoren, and the pillar of light extended towards the sky, Ling Daoren spoke for the last time, his voice was full of reluctance to part, and said with a heavy weight: "After I leave...... You're gone...... Do what you want...... In the future, Master will be gone, but you must also practice hard and not be wasted, you know?" Ling Daoren's voice was already choked.
Ji Chen knelt down again, kowtowed and said goodbye: "Disciple...... Congratulations to Master!Woo ......" Ji Chen picked up his sleeve and wiped his tears.
The Ling Dao man above threw up his sleeves when Ji Chen was crying, wanting to wipe away his tears for his disciples, but found that he could no longer walk off the altar, and the teleportation had already begun, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Ling Daoren had no choice but to cover his tears, and he was also in tears unconsciously, he didn't want his disciples to see his vulnerability.
He hadn't felt such a feeling of affection in seventy or eighty years...... As early as seventy or eighty years ago, when his last brother was killed in battle, he had no relatives......
After so many years, he only has this year, and he has this kind of happiness that belongs to family affection in the year he has been Master Ji Chen.
The pillar of light suddenly strengthened from top to bottom, and the teleportation had already begun in full swing, but in an instant, the Ling Dao people disappeared.
Ling Daoren left, went to the outskirts of the living realm, to fulfill his responsibilities, to fight that war......
Ji Chen, who was left behind, was crying, and the most important people in his life so far were only his parents, brother and this master.
"Master, woo woo......" Ji Chen was holding back tears, but he couldn't help it, this was an instinctive reaction of the human body, and he couldn't hold it back.
That's the person he values the most, and this separation may be goodbye...... Because Ling Dao people are going to the battlefield.
Crying and crying is always tiring. He will too, Ji Chen can't keep crying. He's going to have to go.
Everyone has to learn to grow up alone, and everyone has to learn to grow up alone in loneliness.
Ji Chen is no exception, because none of us are exceptions.
