Kongqiu was the first to arrive. Peng Keng was on the bed, his whole body curled up, as if he was enduring great pain, and his mouth kept saying: "I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to you!"

It seemed that the master was having a nightmare, Kong Qiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to push the master, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Master, wake up......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was bounced away by the huge force on his master's body, and he took a few steps back and almost fell. Mao, who rushed in behind him, stretched out his hand to support him, followed by Peng Yu'er, who was wearing a cloak, with a coat on her body.

The master didn't wake up, he was like trapped in a nightmare, his whole body trembled, and he kept repeating: "I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to you!"

Kong Qiu stopped Mao and Yu'er, who wanted to step forward, no matter what the master was doing, he was obviously fighting against another force with all his might. With the strength of the three of them, it is not necessarily a good thing for Master to get involved.

After a long time, the master finally calmed down, and then he slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the three people standing in front of his bed, he smiled bitterly and got up slowly: "It's okay, it's a nightmare." “

Kong Qiu wanted to open his mouth, but the master's gaze stopped him. Peng Keng said calmly: "It's just right, you are all here, I have something to tell you." Originally, I wanted to talk about it after another year and when you become stronger, but I said it anyway. ”

The three of them looked at each other, only Mao's heart sank, he thought that the master was going to talk about the stone in the cabinet, he originally thought that the master would say it to him alone. Because it was clear that the stone was a big secret of the Soul Hunter. But what Peng Keng said next made everyone stunned.

Peng Keng said in a calm voice: "I have chosen Mao as my heir to inherit my wealth and career. ”

Peng Yu'er looked at her father in surprise, and then at Kong Qiu; Kong Qiu was disappointed, but calmly accepted the master's arrangement; Mao was ecstatic in her heart, lowered her head, and said humbly: "Master, this is ...... How can a disciple be able to do so?"

Peng Keng said lightly: "You don't have to refuse, I chose half a year ago, and you are the most suitable." The second thing is that I decided to marry Yu'er to Kong Qiu, and after I take Mao to Mount Tai to complete the inheritance ceremony, I will come back and marry you both. ”

If the first decision was a thunderstorm, then the second decision was a bolt from the blue. Not only did Mao open his eyes wide and open his mouth in disbelief, but even Kong Qiu looked at Master in surprise. The news was so sudden that he was overwhelmed by the great happiness and found it difficult to react.

Only Peng Yu'er, the surprise could not be hidden, she glanced at Kong Qiu shyly, turned around and ran away with a flushed face, ran all the way back to her room, and fell on the way.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said anxiously, "Master, this matter ......."

Peng Keng waved his hand, his face was like a stone: "I have already decided on this matter, and there is no discussion." I know Yu'er's thoughts, and I know the difference between the two of you. It's the best arrangement I can make. When Yu'er gets married, I will bring her some possessions, but not too much. Mao, I know you like Yu'er too, but you can't have it both ways. ”

The last sentence was what Kong Qiu usually said, and when it came out of the master's mouth at this time, it turned out to be a thousand words. Mao stopped talking, he was confused, he got what he dreamed of, but at the same time he lost what he dreamed of. He suddenly remembered the multiple-choice question he had set for himself that day.

There was only endless joy left in Kongqiu's heart, and the previous frustration had been swept away. Whether it is to get the true inheritance of the master, or to obtain the wealth of the master, these are nothing compared to Yu'er. At this moment, Master's other words made him even more confused and shocked: "Kong Qiu, from today onwards, you are no longer my disciple. You can keep the skills I taught you, but don't let people know that you know you can hunt souls unless you have to, and never tell others that you are my apprentice. “

Peng Keng's words were categorical, and there was no room for maneuver. Kong Qiu wanted to ask several times, but was stopped by the master's cold eyes. Peng Keng took a deep breath: "I took Mao to Mount Tai for a few days, you stay at my house to take care of Yu'er, and when we come back to consummate your marriage, you will take Yu'er home." If anyone mentions it in the future, you are only my son-in-law, and I have no master-apprentice relationship. Got it?"

Kong Qiu thought that this was the rule of the soul hunter, and the soul hunter might only have one real disciple. Becoming a real soul hunter is, of course, a great temptation for anyone, but this is the master's choice, not to mention Yu'er, which is more important than a soul hunter. He bowed and went back to the house.

Only Peng Keng and Mao were left in the house. Peng Keng looked at Mao in a trance, and sighed: "Mao, I don't hand over Yu'er to you, in addition to the fact that she prefers Kong Qiu in her heart, there is another reason. You will understand in the future that what you are going to inherit from me is not only soul hunting and wealth, but also my fate. And that's why I don't want Yu'er to be with you. That's the price you have to pay to get it all. ”

Mao finally nodded: "I understand, Master." Peng Keng breathed a sigh of relief: "There is one more thing, you have to remember, when I take you to Mount Tai, no matter what happens in the process of performing the ceremony, you must keep one thing in mind, you are my only soul hunter disciple here, I selected it from hundreds of disciples, and the others have long been eliminated, understand? Kong Qiu just left a few days later than Yang Hu, and he is no different from others." ”

Mao Hu nodded suspiciously, and Peng Keng added: "The matter of the Black Bird, if anyone asks, you will assume that it is yourself." It was you who saved Yu'er, and then I saved you again. Got it?"

Mao looked at Peng Keng inexplicably, Peng Keng said: "This is the way to make you the heir, you can compete for the temple a hundred steps away, the gecko of the soul is devoured, and you can hold on for a day without the soul flying, which is rare." It's good for your reputation later on. ”

Mao hesitated: "That...... I've always wondered why my brother's flying soul didn't abandon the gecko and enter the blackbird's shrine to control the blackbird to fly back?"

Peng Keng smiled bitterly and said: "The blackbird is a black bird, whether it is a crow, a magpie, or a raven, as long as it is a bird of the black genus, the main soul of the bird is extremely powerful." Especially the crow, its soul power is on par with that of the ox, and in the case of being a hundred steps away from its own middle palace, any action of the flying soul will become extremely difficult as the distance increases. Have you ever heard of the Flying Head Technique?"

Mao was stunned: "Legend has it that when King Wu was fighting, there was a warlock in the Yin Shang camp who cut off his head and flew away, and went to the sky to look at the enemy's situation, and later was taken away by the divine bird of Master Xiqi, and the person died." ”

Peng Keng nodded: "That's not really cutting off the head, but the illusion created by the soul hunter." What he really flew into the sky was actually a beetle attached to his flying soul. Unfortunately, he was discovered by the opponent's soul hunter while he was watching for the enemy, so he possessed a bird and ate the beetle, killing him. At that time, the so-called divine bird was actually a crow!"

Mao's unbalanced heart finally calmed down, and Master was right, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. You will be rich, prestigious, and god-like. What's more, Yu'er's matter, the master has never given him a chance to choose, and it is difficult to complain.

Mao finally went back to his room. Peng Keng didn't lie down again, he got dressed, walked out of the room, and didn't go through the door, but came to the back wall. There are several scratches on the back wall, which were carved on the earthen wall with a finger, because of the hurry, the scratches are shallow and messy. But the person who left the scratch was very skilled, so Peng Keng could still read something from this incomplete Flying Soul Secret Language.

This is the third time he has read it. He didn't destroy it because he knew that with the cultivation of his disciples, he wouldn't have discovered that these scratches were the secret words of the Flying Soul. Another reason is that he hasn't fully deciphered it.

This is left by the mysterious cowherd, the first time he was besieged by his three disciples, he still had time to leave a secret message, and the second time he was attacked by his own forming soul power, he could still escape with injuries, although this kind of cultivation is not as good as himself, but among the remaining soul hunters in the world, he is already a top master.

In the past hundred years, Peng Keng has always felt that someone is following him, and it is not until today that he has confirmed his feelings. But what does this man's secret words mean?

The secret language is just a picture: a huge diagram of yin and yang bagua that stretches between heaven and earth, and the boundaries are endless. Countless spirits from the bottom up, countless spirits from the top down, but they were all blocked between the yin and yang diagrams, and only a few passed through the obstacles of the yin and yang diagrams and reached the opposite side. And under the yin-yang diagram, he is a person who stands up to the sky. The man was glowing white, with his feet on the earth, a yin-yang diagram on his head, and a book in his hand. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Peng Keng felt that he recognized this person.

The cowherd wanted to tell him something, but he didn't dare to say it too clearly. He had already guessed that the cowherd must be a soul hunter from the other camp, but since he was an enemy, why didn't the cowherd attack him directly, but show him such a picture?

The soul shattering that remained in Peng Keng's body had dissipated. Peng Keng was secretly glad that he had made preparations in advance, and Shenjun's soul splitting this time was very weak, probably he didn't want to waste his soul power casually, after all, not all soul splitting could be recovered. After the heavy blow of Bao Xi, the Divine Monarch was more cautious than before.

When he met the Divine Monarch, it was still the Yin Shang period. The soup extinguishes the summer, and the world is peaceful. The white hair hangs down, and the forehead celebrates with each other. At that time, he met the Divine King. At that time, he was still a child, and his name was not Peng Keng, his surname was Qian. His favorite girl's surname is Peng, and her name is Peng Yuer. His family is a stonemason, and Peng Yuer's family is a wine shop at the entrance of the village to sell wine. The stonemasons worked hard, and both father and uncle loved to drink. He often went to Peng Yuer's house to drink, and Peng Yuer would always secretly scoop him up with half a spoonful.

Sometimes it is discovered by adults, but no one scolds it. The adults thought it was funny, the stonemasons and the liquor shops were both craftsmen, and marriage was a good thing. Everyone in the village laughed and said that in a few years, they would be able to drink their wedding wine.

What are you doing in Tarzan? He had almost forgotten. I guess I followed my father and uncles to dig stones. People say that Taishan stone has aura, but Chengtang ordered that people are not allowed to mine Taishan stone. And that's the thing, the more forbidden it is, the rarer it is, and the rarer it is, the more precious it is. Chengtang gave people peace, but after years of war, people still want to be rich.

How did the accident happen? He almost forgot. It was as if the armoured soldiers had gone up the mountain to drive away the people who were digging stones. Father and uncle were driven down the mountain. He followed, fell in a panic, and rolled all the way into the ravine. It soon got dark, and my father was driven down the mountain by the soldiers only to find that he was missing, but Tarzan was too big for anyone to find him.

He felt like he was going to die, his blood flowed on a huge Tarzan stone, and just as he was about to lose consciousness, a force entered his body.

The Divine Monarch discovers his talent and tells him the greatest secret in the world, leaving him to choose whether to die or become a soul hunter in the service of the Divine Monarch. He chose to become a soul hunter.

The Divine Monarch revived him and let him live in a cave. Every day, pheasants and hares came to his side and crashed to their deaths on stones. There were also many birds, which came to him with wild fruits in their mouths, and most of them were blackbirds such as crows. He was gifted with great talent and quickly learned the art of soul hunting. The Divine Monarch told him that there were five Soul Hunting Techniques: Flying Soul Technique, Soul Gathering Technique, Soul Destroying Technique, Soul Splitting Technique, and Soul Eating Technique. As a mortal, he can only practice the first three, and the last two, which are too powerful for the human body to bear, and he will die if he practices them.

What kind of magic is this? He practiced every day without sleeping or eating, until one day, the Divine Monarch asked him to control the blackbirds, and if he could control three at the same time, he could go down the mountain. He controlled ten of them and let them hover overhead. The Divine Monarch asked him to kill the ten birds, and he hesitated, he didn't know if any of these birds had sent him fruit, and he didn't know what the point was in doing so.

The Divine Monarch told him: "The ant is still greedy for life, survival is the instinct of all things, even if you control its behavior, but to let it die is still against its most primitive and powerful soul power." Only if you can do that, you can truly control them. Although the blackbird is spiritual, it is still far from human, and if you can kill ten birds at the same time, you may not be able to kill one. You have to do things for me in the future, and the enemies you face are not ordinary people, you don't have the ability to kill, you can only be killed by others. ”

He did, and the ten blackbirds took turns crashing into the rocks. Before they were killed, they screamed bitterly, as if their spirits were making a final tragic struggle.

He was finally allowed to descend the mountain, carrying with him a deerskin bag containing a heavy piece of Taishan stone. He already knew why Chengtang didn't allow people to mine Taishan stone. Because, in that seemingly endless Taishan stone, there is a special kind of stone hidden - Taishan soul stone.

On the way down the mountain, he encountered no obstacles. The ban on closing the mountain has been lifted, and it is not like Chengtang has changed the order overnight, but Chengtang has died. He had been in the mountains for a hundred years, but he was unconscious.

When he walked to his family's village, he met his uncle's grandson, who had no children left. After his disappearance, his father secretly went to Mount Tai to look for him, but I don't know whether he was captured by the armor soldiers or died in the mouth of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. His mother was so sad that she died half a year later.

Qian Keng, at the age of twelve, died in Mount Tai and has entered the family tree. His parents died one after another, and the family property has been merged into his uncle's family to pass on the incense.

The children in the village looked up and asked him, "Who are you and what is your name?"

He looked at the flag selling wine at the entrance of the village, remembered Peng Yuer's smiling face, remembered the spring willow a hundred years ago, and said lightly: "My name is Peng Keng." ”

Seven hundred years later, someone called me Peng Zu. They don't know that 800 years ago, I was the eldest son and grandson of the Qian family.
