Bai Xingpeng was just about to catch up, but the three protectors Tong Jiu, the fourth protector Tie Yunhe, and many others around him exclaimed: "Aunt Meng, Aunt Meng-" I saw that Meng Qiuling could no longer support it and fell into Bai Feng's arms. Zhong Min hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out his fingers to hold several large acupoints around Meng Qiuling's heart, and took out another pill for Meng Qiuling to take.

Zhong Min said to Bai Feng: "Mr. Bai, this is the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill that my master Yu Zhenzi got by chance back then, and the detoxification effect is very good. ”

Bai Feng looked at the dying person in his arms, sighed and did not speak. Bai Xingpeng rushed over and hugged his mother's body, crying: "Mother, you can't die, you can't leave me." After Meng Qiuling took the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill, her vitality recovered slightly, and she reached out to stroke her son's cheek and said, "Xingpeng, you forgive your mother." At the beginning, my mother left you and your father behind for her own business, and now all the things that my mother is looking for have become mirrors, and there is no place for my mother in this world. Xingpeng, my mother can't take care of you anymore, I can't take care of your father, you, you have to take good care of yourself......" Suddenly, the hand held in the air lost its support, and drooped softly.

"No ——!" Bai Xingpeng screamed, hugged his mother's body and shook like crazy, and shouted: "Mother, you can't just leave me and my father like this!" Bai Feng grabbed his son and said, "Xingpeng, your mother won't come back." She has lost the spiritual strength she relies on, and even if she lives, there is no meaning. Bai Xingpeng fell to the ground and said bitterly: "How come, my father and I are by her side, we all want her to survive, what more sustenance does my mother have, why doesn't she want to live anymore?" Why—" Almost speechless at the end.

White Wind sighed secretly. Meng Qiuling has worked hard and fought all her life, just because she wants to be the supreme position of Xuanmen. However, with the departure of her old father Meng Shenshan, all the people of the Xuanmen showed an unprecedented indifference to her. Although she has always hated herself for being a woman, until the end, she finally realized the bitterness of a woman after showing up. She is a complete failure, even if her beloved husband and son are around, she can't fill the irreparable emptiness in her heart. But Bai Xingpeng can't understand this, and he doesn't want to understand.

Bai Feng picked his wife up. Everyone thought that he would return to the Xuanmen General Altar, but Bai Feng went in the opposite direction. Bai Xingpeng hadn't recovered from the grief of losing his mother, and couldn't help but tremble when he saw this: "Dad, where are you going, Dad?" Bai Feng stopped, his calm gaze revealing love.

"Xingpeng, your grandfather hoped that I could stay in Xuanmen to help him complete his hegemony eighteen years ago. However, your father and I are a disciple of the Xiaoyao Immortals, and I have advanced martial arts or have learned, and the intricate affairs of the rivers and lakes cannot be handled at all. Xingpeng, it's not that Dad won't help you, what's more, a person's road will eventually have to go on by himself. I once made an agreement with your mother that if one of us dies before the other, the rest will never live alone—not to live together but to die together, and heaven and earth will never be separated......"

Bai Xingpeng's hands and feet were paralyzed, and he struggled to grab his father's shirt and burst into tears: "No, no, Dad, you can't leave me alone." You and your mother are gone, call me, call me,—— how should I live? He was almost incoherent in his helplessness. Bai Feng's loving gaze lingered on Aiko's body, and finally sighed: "Xingpeng, if you still believe in your father's words, remember, no matter what the outside world is, your destination is only in the mountain village where you grew up, where there are people who truly love you wholeheartedly. ”

Bai Xingpeng couldn't catch his father and mother, so he could only watch as the slanting sun overlapped their figures, stretching longer and longer in their field of vision until they could no longer be seen. He couldn't stand the blow anymore, and fell to the ground crying bitterly: "Dad, come back, come back, come back......"

After muttering a few times, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fainted in front of him. Once, he was resentful because of the murder of the jade Wang Xiaoyue, who was in love with his mother and son, and he was also extremely sad because Zhong Min, who was in love, repeatedly betrayed him. Just now, his mother Meng Qiuling died in front of his eyes, he was sad and grief-stricken, and he wished that he would die together. But those taken together, it is not as good as his father, who has been dependent on him for 18 years, to leave him, which brings him chills and despair. Bai Xingpeng asked in his heart again and again, what are these for? Shouldn't he have left the village in the first place? Shouldn't he have come to this world, or even at all? What did my father mean when he said he was going to end up? And what should he do now......

The Third Protector Tong Jiu picked up Bai Xingpeng from the ground, and said to Zhong Min: "Miss Zhong, let's send Young Master Xingpeng back to the main altar first, right?" ”

Zhong Min was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Meng Qiuling had announced in public, saying that she was "the fiancée of the grandson of the old master". Thinking of this, Zhong Min smiled bitterly: "Your eldest aunt said that I was involved with Xingpeng in order to save my life. In fact, what Mr. Bai said before leaving is very clear, your young master Xingpeng's destination is in the mountain village where he was raised, and there is a very good girl there, and that is the real good match for Xingpeng. ”

The four protectors Tie Yunhe stood beside Tong Jiu, the two of them looked at each other a few times, and Tie Yunhe said: "If so, please still ask Miss Zhong to go back to the main altar of my sect together." You had a life-saving grace to Aunt Meng and her husband before, so you are the great benefactor of my Xuanmen. Moreover, Young Master Xingpeng will inevitably have something to inquire about after waking up. ”

Zhong Min nodded. Tong Jiu asked Meng Jingjing for the Moyu Order, and a group of disciples supported Bai Xingpeng to return to the main hall. Zhong Min walked behind them, and when she saw Meng Jingjing with a solemn face, she couldn't help but feel sad for the woman in front of her when she thought of Duan Hongbo's ruthless nature.

Meng Jingjing glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "You pity me, don't you?" Zhong Min was thinking like this, and when he heard her ask directly, he couldn't help but hesitate: "This, I didn't think like this-" Meng Jingjing sneered: "You are scheming, don't you just want to watch Bai Xingpeng replace Duan Hongbo and let Bai Xingpeng replace the person you hate to take the position of the master of the Xuanmen Gate?" Now that your wish has been granted, are you happy? ”

Zhong Min was silent. If this is her original intention, then she should be happy at this moment. But this is not the case,—— and what the truth is, Zhong Min at this moment can't say it clearly, and he can't understand it.

"Don't you hate? After all, Duan Hongbo can't be the master of the door. ”

After Zhong Min said this, Meng Jingjing suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a smile: "Don't stimulate me, and I won't be provoked by you." To tell you the truth, I know better than anyone else the purpose of Duan Hongbo's entry into the Xuanmen. But—" At this point, her voice lowered, and her eyes tended to be confused, "A woman's heart sometimes can't even do anything to herself. It's as if you know that he is using you, and you still have to defend your master at the moment when he wants to kill him. ”

Zhong Min's heart ached, and Meng Jingjing said again: "I, like you, am also a stupid woman. However,—— nameless flower, you will never understand what Hong Bo wants. Although you know his background, you don't understand where the true love of a person with such a background is. ”

Zhong Min said blankly: "You say that, does it mean that you have understood?" Meng Jingjing smiled slightly, turned around and said, "I don't know, but I will try my best to make Hong Bo finally fall in love with me from the bottom of my heart." She looked at the sky for a long time, and finally turned her back to the Xuanmen and left.

Zhong Min stood there for a long time, until someone next to her called her: "Miss Zhong, Miss Zhong?" Only then did Zhong Min turn around and see that it was the Three Protectors Tong Jiu. Tong Jiu said: "Miss Zhong, Young Master Xingpeng has woken up, you have something to ask you now." Turning sideways to make a petition, Zhong Min bowed his head and said, "There is a labor please." ”

The two of them returned to the main hall, Zhong Min saw Bai Xingpeng, who was sitting on it with a sinking face without expression, and his eyes fell coldly on the two people who walked in from the gate. Zhong Min hurriedly lowered his head and neck, Tong Jiu saluted upward, and then called all the people serving in the hall down,—— there is no doubt that this is Bai Xingpeng's instructions in advance.

Bai Xingpeng walked down the steps, walked up to Zhong Min and said, "Xiaomin, remember when we first came to Xuanmen, we were almost dead at that time?" ”

Zhong Min looked at him, and she already understood in her heart: Bai Xingpeng standing in front of her was no longer what it used to be. She didn't answer, for fear that answering the wrong one would go against Bai Xingpeng's wishes. Bai Xingpeng continued: "Xiaomin, there is a question that I don't seem to need to ask again, but I still want to give you one last chance, if Duan Hongbo appears in front of you again, can you kill him to avenge your master?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze fixed straight on Zhong Min's eyes. Zhong Min hurriedly turned his head away and muttered, "Report, naturally I want to report!" Bai Xingpeng nodded, took a step away and said, "That's fine." Xiaomin, you must know that I have reached this point,—— my mother is dead, and my father has left me - these are all caused by Duan Hongbo. I want revenge, I must take revenge! Xiaomin, he and you don't share the same hatred, can you help me? ”

Zhong Min raised his head suddenly, and said in disbelief: "How can I help you?" ”

"It's very simple, you take me to the secret room where Yu Zhenzi practiced, which is where Duan Hongbo once secretly learned your master's martial arts, and I want to see the martial arts left in front of Yu Zhenzi. I will kill the enemy in the shortest possible time to sacrifice my father's and mother's spirit in heaven! Bai Xingpeng's face was hideous when he said it, and his tone revealed incomparable indifference and cruelty.

Zhong Min's heart couldn't help but throb for a while, although she was a disciple of the Desperate Gu Yu Zhenzi, but seeing the once innocent teenager become like this, her heart was really full of endless regret and chagrin. If she hadn't forcibly brought Xingpeng out and let Duan Hongbo be the master of Xuanmen logically, Meng Shenshan's sixty years of skill might not have been passed on to others, and he hadn't left Xuanmen, then Xuanmen wouldn't have today's civil strife, Meng Qiuling wouldn't die, and Bai Feng wouldn't leave.

Thinking of this, Zhong Min was not only confused again. Could it really be that there is some providence in the dark, that it is the one who controls all this irretrievably and continues forever?

Bai Xingpeng regained his spirit after a few days of cultivation in Xuanmen, and then proposed to the three and four protectors to go to the Valley of Despair. Hearing this, the two Dharma Protectors hurriedly persuaded each other: "Young Master Xingpeng, the Xuanmen Gate cannot be left without a master for a day, you go, who will take on the responsibility of the master of this sect?" ”

Bai Xingpeng said: "My father has always been reluctant to stay in Xuanmen before his death, not because he is not capable enough, but because he is not a person in this way. Today, if I were me, the result would be the same. The position of the master of the door, the two protectors of the Dharma or find someone else, until the new master is found, I can temporarily take on my place. As for my visit to the Valley of Despair, naturally the two Dharma Protectors will be in charge of the affairs of the Gate. ”

Tong Jiu and Tie Yunhe still need to be advised, but Bai Xingpeng insists on Bai Feng's last wish and insists on not receiving the good intentions of the two Dharma protectors. The two protectors were helpless, and said, "Young Master Xingpeng wants to go to the Valley of Despair, it's not impossible. It's just that the purpose of your visit is nothing more than to practice peerless martial arts, and then find Duan Hongbo for revenge on that thief. You know, Yu Zhenzi is indeed powerful, but after all, didn't he also die at the hands of Duan Hongbo? ”

Bai Xingpeng smiled, looked at Zhong Min who was standing beside him, and said, "Xiao Min, tell the two Dharma protectors how your master was killed by Duan Hongbo?" Zhong Min glanced at him, bowed his head and said, "Two Dharma protectors, my master was killed by treacherous schemes, and it has nothing to do with Duan Hongbo's ability. ”

Bai Xingpeng said: "I went to the Valley of Despair, and I came to see the whole picture of Yu Zhenzi's martial arts, because the reason why Duan Hongbo's martial arts are so powerful is because of the true inheritance in the heart." ”

Tong Jiu and Tie Yunhe glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Is this the case?" Tong Jiu continued: "According to that, Young Master Xingpeng, if you go to learn Yu Zhenzi's martial arts, won't that fall behind Duan Hongbo?" Bai Xingpeng shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't want to learn Yu Zhenzi's martial arts, mainly because I want to see it, and only after watching it can I know what Duan Hongbo's current martial arts are." I have the internal strength of my grandfather's Jiazi, I know the weakness of my opponent's martial arts, and then think about revenge, isn't it simple? ”

The two Dharma Protectors shook their heads secretly, each thinking, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. Zhong Min said on the side: "Xingpeng, you go to the Desperate Valley to learn art, this trip will definitely not disappoint you." Bai Xingpeng glanced at her, stretched out his hand to shake her and said, "Xiaomin, I can't help but believe you again." In fact, you didn't have a bad heart against me all the while. Zhong Min's heart was hot when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "I will never disappoint you again." ”

Tong Jiu said: "If so, we will wait here for Young Master Xingpeng to come back." "They had already intended to set up Bai Xingpeng as the master, and immediately conveyed the news of the new master's journey. The hall masters who were still left at the entrances of the main altar and the helmsmen of the various rudders heard about it, and they all came out to send them off. Bai Xingpeng walked out of the main altar for more than ten miles, and looked back at the endless crowds. No wonder Duan Hongbo wants to become the master of the Xuanmen, it is Bai Xingpeng himself, and now he can't help but be excited.

After saying goodbye to the people of Xuanmen, and walking for several miles, Zhong Min asked, "Xingpeng, you only said a reason to go to the Valley of Despair, and what else did you say, so what is it?" ”

Bai Xingpeng said with a smile: "For the mountain wall on the other side of Bibo Pond, Master Yu Zhenzi carved the poem "Words of Return". Zhong Min was stunned, not understanding what he was thinking. Bai Xingpeng said: "I didn't think about anything for a while after my father left, but then I wanted to take revenge, I thought that Duan Hongbo had learned martial arts to the Valley of Desperation, so I thought of Master Yu Zhenzi." At that time, when I went to the Valley of Despair for the first time, I thought that Master Yu Zhenzi should be a person who desperately wanted to be detached, so he was by no means the same as Duan Hongbo, and the realm he reached Duan Hongbo might not be able to reach. If Duan Hongbo really has something that he can't understand about Master Yu Zhenzi's martial arts, and I can get it by studying it carefully, Xiao Min, don't you say that this is a godsend? ”

Zhong Min opened his mouth and stammered, and it took a long time before he said, "You, you are simply incredible." ”

The two of them went from Xuanmen to the Valley of Despair, which is equivalent to taking a way back, and in this back and forth, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and people have gradually transformed and transformed.

Zhong Min returned to the Valley of Despair, and this time she took Bai Xingpeng directly to Bibo Pond.

The secret room where Yu Zhenzi practiced was behind a small waterfall at the corner of the deepest part of the Bibo Pond current, and Zhong Min took Bai Xingpeng's hand and passed through the place where the water passed. Although Bai Xingpeng has never practiced light skills, he has strong physical strength, and he is more than several times more agile than ordinary people when he usually raises his hands and throws. Therefore, he followed Zhong Min into the secret room, except for some water on his body, there was no other inconvenience.

Passing through the waterfall, they found themselves in a large chamber. There are irregular mountain rock walls on all sides, and there are a few places that have been chiseled through, and copper mirrors are embedded in them to reflect the sunlight, so that although they are in the caves, the light is still very sufficient. Bai Xingpeng stood in it, only to see that the axe and chopping knife on the stone wall were engraved with handwriting, and Zhong Min said on the side: "This is where my master's lifelong martial arts is located." Bai Xingpeng looked around, and finally focused on the part about breathing and breathing. Zhong Min saw that his expression was different, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”

Bai Xingpeng shook his head and said, "My grandfather passed on my sixty years of skill to make me suffer enough, and later my father helped me open up the meridians of the whole body, during which he explained to me the cultivation of internal strength. I look at the things carved on the stone walls here, and I don't understand anything else, only here feels familiar, so I take a few more looks. ”

Zhong Min said with a smile: "Xingpeng, in fact, I admire your talent, speaking of which, you may really be a martial arts wonder." Bai Xingpeng looked at her suspiciously. Zhong Min walked around the stone wall and said, "You said that Duan Hongbo may not be able to reach the realm that my master already has, this sentence is not wrong at all. When he caused my master to go mad, my master's seven orifices were bleeding and he couldn't live, so he laughed and left without staying long. In fact, my master was not dead at that time, and he told me not to worry about his death, and he said that if he lacked a general outline to cultivate his martial arts, it would not work after all. Xingpeng, my master must want to say that the most proud martial arts in his life is in the general outline, even if Duan Hongbo memorizes all the mantras here, as long as you can find the general outline, he will still not be your opponent in the end. ”

"So, do you know where the general outline is?"

Zhong Min's bright smile darkened, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master, he only told me about the existence of the General Outline at the moment he was dying, and I think he seems to have something to say to me, but it's a pity that it's too late." At this, her voice lowered and choked up.

Bai Xingpeng looked at the other martial arts on the stone wall again, except for the method of breathing and breathing just now, the carvings on the stone wall were nothing more than some methods used by outsiders, and the ruthless sword used by Duan Hongbo and the Thousand Miles Escape Technique were among them. Bai Xingpeng watched for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Master Yu Zhenzi can dominate the rivers and lakes, Duan Hongbo is already so powerful just by using only two of his martial arts, if Master Yu Zhenzi is reborn, I am afraid that no one in this world can be his opponent." ”

Zhong Min said: "Maybe, but there was a person a hundred years ago, his martial arts were the real unique martial arts, and he was also praised until now, that is, my master, and I admit from the bottom of my heart that he is not the opponent of that senior." ”

Bai Xingpeng said movingly: "Who is so powerful?" A hundred years ago, it wouldn't have been my grandfather. ”

Zhong Min said: "The master of the Xuanmen Gate, Meng Shenshan, led his brothers, and he has remained the overlord of the rivers and lakes for decades, and his old man is indeed a great hero. But when it comes to martial arts attainments, your grandfather may not be as good as my master. Bai Xingpeng wanted to refute, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

Zhong Min continued: "Xingpeng, the three protectors and the four protectors are right, you linger here in the heart mantra, and the final achievement will not be too high. As she spoke, she walked to the corner of a stone wall, where a concave mark in the shape of a palm was carved on the height of a man.

Bai Xingpeng threw one of his right palms into it and found that the size was roughly the same. The four sides of this mudra have two notches on each side of the mudra at a radius of nearly one foot, forming a square of two feet square. Bai Xingpeng tapped his fingers twice, and found that the back was empty, so he turned his eyes to look at Zhong Min.

Zhong Min said: "There is a mechanism here, my master sealed something in it after he became famous, and then there was a saying: It is not possible to open the internal power of pure yang for thirty years." Xingpeng, the ancestor of Xuanmen, is a lay disciple of Shaolin, and his martial arts are all the way to Chunyang. Your grandfather has passed on your skills for sixty years, and even if you can't use them all yet, it shouldn't be difficult to open this mechanism. At that moment, Bai Xingpeng passed a few words of mantra, and Bai Xingpeng used it on his right arm according to the law, and put it on the handprint carved in stone with one palm. Zhong Min taught him the method of instantaneous force, Bai Xingpeng listened to it in his ears, and applied it according to the law in his hand, only to feel that the true qi in his palm was surging out, hitting the handprint, and there was a "creaking" sound behind the stone wall, and the square side popped out suddenly. Zhong Min reacted quickly, grabbed Bai Xingpeng and hurriedly jumped back, only to see that the hole had been opened, revealing the things placed in it.

Bai Xingpeng looked inside, only to see that the place where the hole was opened was divided into two grids, the upper layer contained a scroll, the cover book: the cold domain cheats upper volume, the lower layer also held the same volume, the cover book: the cold domain cheats lower volume.
