Xiao Jiu obediently complied, kowtowed three times in front of the spirit of the Confucian Mountain Daoist, turned around and left with the food box.

After Xiao Jiu left, You Tongcai took out a dozen pieces of paper from the desk on the side, lit it, and carefully put it into the brazier.

He sighed and muttered under his breath.

"Master, Master, you can finally rest in peace. Xiao Jiu he ...... It's back, hehe! ”

After smirking twice, Youtong said while putting the dark paper in his hand into the brazier

"Xiao Jiu, he has a pure temperament since he was a child, but in terms of martial arts attainments, he is not as fast as other brothers and sisters. Master, you know everything, so bless this silly boy! Let him have few calamities, be free from afflictions, and be safe and well. ”

Just as Youtong was kneeling in front of the spirit and muttering, a person suddenly walked in outside the door.

When I looked up, it was the third senior brother.

"Third Senior Brother, are you here?"

Brushing the paper ash on his body, Youtong got up with a light smile.

"What are you muttering in front of Master's Spirit? How? Xiao Jiu is back, are you overjoyed? ”

Youtong's eyes froze, and then he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm happy, I know that Senior Brother is uncomfortable, and you have quarreled with Master many times for the sake of the little junior brother." But if there is another way, the master will never push the little junior brother out. Now that Master and his old man have passed away, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. ”

After You's call, the third senior brother's face was already ugly.

His chest heaved as if he was holding back his anger.

After a while, he gradually softened his face and said

"What do you know? And who are you to teach me a lesson? You won't understand my relationship with Weitong! ”

Youtong looked puzzled when he heard this, and thought for a while before he said

"Isn't the little junior brother the son of the old head of the Xuan Lingyi faction? How could you have something to do with you, senior brother? ”

When the Meixu of the Xuan Lingyi faction came to ask for someone, the master personally admitted that Weitong was the old head of the Xuan Lingyi faction! And his third senior brother is the only son of a Xiucai family under the mountain.

There is really no relationship between the two.

"Huh! So many years! Master never let me tell me this secret, and you won't know it! ”

After all, the master wanted his own brother to be a stand-in for Xiao Jiu, the real head of the evil sect, how could he not know?

But even if he knew, for the sake of his parents and relatives, he had to keep it a secret all the time.

"What the hell is the secret?"

Youtong was not a trustworthy person originally, but since Yitong had said this, he couldn't help but want to ask.

Although Yitong hesitated, he had kept this secret for many years, and now that the master had passed away, even if he said it, no one would blame him anymore.

"Since you want to know so much, I might as well tell you. In fact, Weitong is not the head of the evil sect at all! It's my own brother, did you hear clearly? ”

This secret has been buried in his heart for many years, and every time he thinks back to that day

When I watched Weitong being taken away, my heart would hurt very much.

That year was his third year of apprenticeship. It was also the second month after the eighth junior brother entered, and the master originally took the senior brother to Tianyi Baoshan to go to the birthday banquet of the head of the Shu Yuan Sect, but halfway through he learned that the head of the master Fengxu was in Hu Chishan, which seemed to have a conflict with the Xuan Lingyi faction.

The master was worried that the head of the wind was in danger, so he took the senior brother to Hu Chishan.

unexpectedly brought the son who had just been born to the head of the Xuan Lingyi faction back to the mountain.

That night, Master only said that he had picked up the child halfway.

But the master was afraid that those evil sects would find peace, so he asked him privately if he could find the newborn baby and serve as a substitute for the child.

Master has only told him about this matter.

It's just that after a few months, he has not been able to find the child, and the master is a little anxious. At this time, I caught up with my mother to pass a letter to the family, saying that she was pregnant again.

In the letter, the mother cried that the family was already poor and could not open the pot, and even if they were born, they would not be able to support them.

My father failed in this year's scientific examination.

He was also helpless, just like the master asking for help.

Although the master gave him two taels of silver, he put forward a condition that he regretted agreeing to the most in his life.

When he came out of the Master's meditation room with the silver in his hand, he couldn't sleep for the whole night.

Ten months later, when his mother gave birth to his son, the master gave him another sum of money, and with him, he returned to the village and carried his younger brother up the mountain.

He only said to the rest of the brothers that it was the child he picked up from the foot of Hu Chi Mountain.

Therefore, when Meixu rushed to ask for someone that day, the master said so firmly that Weitong was the child, and none of the other brothers and sisters were surprised, because they all thought that Weitong was really picked up from the bottom of Hu Chi Mountain.

When he learned that Weitong was actually the third senior brother's own brother, Youtong was still a little surprised, but soon, he accepted it. Because for so many years, the third senior brother has always been very protective of Weitong.

Even if it is sometimes Weitong, he will stand up to protect him, and that love for his brother cannot be pretended to be in any way.

But what made him even more strange was why Master never let him tell him about it.

"Since the little junior brother is your own brother, why would the master stop you from saying it?"

As soon as these words came out, Youtong suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened and asked, "Is there another hidden meaning in this?" If the junior brother is not the head of the Xuan Lingyi faction, then who will be the real head of the sect? ”

Yitong didn't expect that the fifth junior brother's reaction ability would be so strong, and I am afraid that he would not be able to hide this matter from him today.

However, the fifth junior brother has always treated Xiao Jiu very well, even if he knows about it, I'm afraid it won't be anything, right?

Master! Please forgive the disciple for throwing up today.

After Yitong finished silently reciting in his heart, he moved his Adam's apple and said in a deep voice

"Actually, after the real head, it's not someone else, it's Xiao Jiu who you take care of very much."

"Xiao Jiu? This...... How can it be

This? ”

How could it be Xiao Jiu?

Oh, my God! I really didn't expect that Xiao Jiu would be the son of Ye Chong, the old head of the Xuan Lingyi faction?

"Surprised, isn't it? You know this time, why did I want to strangle Xiao Jiu as soon as I saw him, right? ”

This is ironic, but it is also so distressing.

Let's be honest! In the past eight years, he gradually hated Xiao Jiu less, and it was because of him that the master would let his younger brother be a stand-in. But in the past eight years, Xiao Jiu has been out of the door, and his younger brother has also been taken away by the people of the Xuan Lingyi faction.

He seemed to have just woken up to his senses, and the most hateful thing was not Xiao Jiu, not the master, but himself.

He hated himself for being cowardly and incompetent, and hated himself for sending his own brother to a dead end for a few dozen taels of silver.

But at that time, he had no choice but to make such a dilemma.

If he didn't agree to Master's conditions, his family would die of hunger and cold, not to mention Weitong, even if it was his parents, they might not be able to build up.

He had no choice but this path to take.

But once he sets foot on it, he will live forever in guilt, and he will not be able to transcend it.

While Youtong was surprised by Xiao Jiu's life experience, he also had doubts about the master's approach in his heart.

But why did Master do this? Little junior brother and little nine are all our classmates! Why would Master ...... for Xiao Jiu will ......"

"You think that's unfair, don't you?" Yitong sneered, and looked at the spiritual position of the Confucian Mountain Daoist with a pair of eyes contempt, "But fate is so unfair." ”

Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. This is from his point of view.

But as a master? He really doesn't understand, they all say that all beings are equal, why does the master insist on protecting Xiao Jiu at all costs? This is also what he is puzzled about.

After all, the Xuan Lingyi faction is an evil sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is despised by the people in the rivers and lakes.

Youtong did not respond, but was silent for a long time.

The next morning, Xiao Jiu was still asleep, and he heard that someone seemed to be coming.

When I opened my eyes in a daze, it turned out to be the senior brother.

"Senior brother, why did you get up so early?"

Xiao Jiu asked in a hoarse voice while rubbing his eyes.

"Shh......h Don't wake people up, come with me. ”

Xiao Jiu realized that the sky outside the window was not yet fully bright, and it was just after Yin.

Although he didn't know why the senior brother was looking for him, he finally got up obediently.

He followed the senior brother out of the meditation room and went all the way to the meditation room where the master lived. All the way to the door of the meditation room, Xiao Jiu was inevitably a little hesitant.

"Senior brother, what are you bringing me here for?"

Instead of responding, Prop pushed open the door, walked straight to the desk where the master was alive, and rotated the lampholder in one direction, and soon, the cabinet next to it, where the scrolls were originally kept, slowly moved, and then a secret passage that only one person could pass through.

"This ......" Xiao Jiu is difficult

Looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, the boss with staring eyes couldn't believe his eyes.

After following in, he carefully closed the door.

"Let's go inside!" The senior brother walked a few steps, entered through the secret door, and then waved his hand at Xiao Jiu behind him.

Xiao Jiukan reacted, and quickly followed in.

As Xiao Jiu's heel entered, the secret door behind him also closed tightly.

There's a lot of space inside, and it's always dark all the way down the steps of the dark passage. But fortunately, the elder brother brought an oil lamp, which can illuminate it.

I don't know how long I walked, but finally, when I stopped at Stick, there was light inside.

Looking at the totems on the walls around him, Xiao Jiu's face was curious.

"Senior brother, what kind of place is this?"

Bingtong carefully put aside the oil lamp in his hand before turning around

"This is the forbidden place of my Pure Sect."

"Since it's a forbidden place, why did Senior Brother bring me here?"

Xiao Jiu asked puzzled.

Bingtong smiled, and then pointed to the bed not far away

"Before he died, Master specially instructed me to bring you here and remove the seal on your body."

Seal? That day in the Lingyou Palace, Senior Brother did mention that the master had sealed his own veins.

Could it be that for so many years, I have been so wasted because of this seal?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Jiu immediately came to his senses.

"Then let's get started!"
