Uncle Shi nodded and said: "Well, in fact, they are some titles, that organization has given many similar titles to those hermits in the deep mountains and old forests, these hermits are different from me, after they get this title, they have no contact with the Burial Sect at all." Hehe, Funeral Sect, this name is not easy to call, but let's call it that. ”

I said, "The Funeral Sect threw the nameplate to a profound cultivator, probably to divert the attention of the people in the righteous path." If you find out that there are signs on your hermitage, you will spend a lot of energy investigating them, so that we can bring our main power to the crooked path. ”

As I was talking, Master reached out, patted me on the shoulder, and said to me with a smile, "Smart boy. Zongyuan teaches well, much better than me. ”

When he finished, he said, "Earlier, I also learned some about the internal situation of the Burial Sect. But then Liu Wenhui had an accident, and the funeral sect felt a crisis internally, and changed the internal structure on a large scale, and now the funeral sect no longer has the position of protector. After Liu Wenhui was arrested, another Dharma protector went underground, and I don't know what that guy is doing now. ”

I asked Uncle Shi, "Uncle Shi, have you seen another Dharma Protector?" ”

Uncle Shi nodded: "Not only have I seen it, but when I was young, I still had a little friendship with this person." By the way, I heard that you killed Yi Qingping in Shaanxi? ”

I said, "It's not that I killed it, it's Fantian Yin......"

Before I could finish speaking, Uncle Shi interrupted me: "It's not important, now people in the industry are spreading that you are young and promising, and even a hermit like Yi Qingping is not your opponent." But you see, such rumors don't do you any good. The great protector of the funeral sect is Yi Qingping's master, this person's surname is Zhou, even I don't know his name, but the people in the industry call him Zhou Tianshi, this person is very short-sighted, and his cultivation is extremely high, even if I bring all six soul flags, I can only have a tie with him. ”

Speaking of this, my master looked at my master's grave and said to me, "How many of your master's cultivation you have now?" ”

I also looked at the master and sighed: "I don't know, the master said before his death, I can have six or seven percent of his Tao practice now that I take the Fan Tian Seal." But I always feel that I am still far from Master's realm. ”

Hearing my words, Uncle Shi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "If you have Zongyuan's six or seven successful skills, among the younger generation, you can be regarded as the top handful." But it's not enough. Now that the funeral sect is scared by you, you don't dare to show your head, and the surname Zhou doesn't dare to do anything to you. But one day when the Burial Sect becomes active again, he will definitely attack you immediately. If Zong Yuan was still alive, he would still be able to keep you safe, but now...... It's up to you. ”

I asked my uncle, "Uncle Shi, do others know about your joining the funeral sect?" ”

Uncle Shi smiled: "Hehe, now Xia Zongming's eldest apprentice has found some clues, and it is estimated that soon, everyone in the entire industry will know that I am a person from the Funeral Sect." You know, I know, but I can't let anyone else know. ”

"Why? In this way, Uncle Xia, they will always misunderstand you. I said in a bit of a hurry.

After the death of the master, in terms of the relationship between the master and the teacher, the master is my closest person, and I never want anyone to misunderstand him as a lackey of the funeral religion.

But Uncle Shi shook his head very dryly: "No, there is a way." Now the forces of the Funeral Sect are complicated, and there may be their eyeliner anywhere, and the Soul Village may not be a peaceful place. And I know Xia Zongming better than you, he seems to have great wisdom on the surface, but in fact, he is very easy to be emotional and doesn't know how to forbear. If you tell him about me, something might go wrong. In short, the fewer people who know about my business, the better, you just have to remember it. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Shi suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands vigorously, and said to me: "By the way, I heard Zong Yuan say that there is another inner line buried in the Funeral Sect, but he has never said who this inner line is. Now that the news of Zong Yuan's death has spread in the industry, it is estimated that it will not be long before this person will come to you. ”

I didn't know what to think at the time, so I opened my mouth and asked, "Could this person be Luo Youfang?" ”

In fact, after thinking about it later, I think it is forgivable that I can ask this kind of thing, after all, in the funeral religion, the only person I can call by name is Luo Youfang.

When Uncle Shi heard the words "Luo Youfang", he first showed an extremely disdainful expression, and then said to me: "Luo Youfang? It must not be him, this person is very lowly, he has no sense of right and wrong, sympathy, he is a little ghost raised by the king of Hades, such a person cannot be from our side. ”

Originally, I wanted to ask my uncle how he knew Luo Youfang, but seeing his gritted teeth with hatred at the mention of Luo Youfang, I didn't dare to ask more.

At this time, Uncle Shi put his hands on my shoulders and said solemnly: "There is a way, you remember, unless the fire is extinguished one day, you will never be able to tell anyone about me." Hehe, anyway, I don't care what other people think of me. ”

After speaking, Uncle Shi let go of me, he let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I have been in the funeral sect for many years, and I feel more and more that they seem to have been laying out a big game in all these years. By the way, do you know the Ten Perfections? ”

I nodded: "Master suspects that this burial sect may have a deep relationship with the Ten Perfection Dao people, so we have also specially learned about some of the deeds of the Ten Perfection Dao people in their early years. ”

Uncle Shi let out an "oh", then looked at me again and said, "Over the years, I have always had a hunch that I think that the leader of the Funeral Sect is very likely to be the Ten Perfection Daoist himself. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "It's impossible, if the Ten Perfection Dao people can live until now, then he will be at least more than two thousand years old." ”

Uncle Shi nodded: "Well, yes, I hope I guessed wrong." By the way, there is one more thing, after June this year, you will have to report to the school, right? ”

I nodded, and Uncle Shi asked me again, "Is that school very close to Bohai Bay?" ”

I nodded again.

Uncle Shi smiled: "Hehe, in the dark, it seems that everything has a certainty." When the Burial Sect stole Yin Jade from Bohai Bay, it left a very important thing in the Bohai Tomb. ”

I have also heard Master mention that one of the nine tombs is located in the depths of Bohai Bay, and Senior Brother Zhuang has also verified that the people who buried the sect had gone deep into Bohai Bay, and speculated that the Yin jade on Zhao Dekai's body was stolen from the Bohai Tomb.

I was thinking about this, but I didn't speak, and Uncle Shi continued: "When you arrive at school, I'm afraid you won't be able to focus all your attention on your schoolwork. The burial cultists may return to the Bohai Tomb at any time, so you have to keep an eye on it. ”

"Where is the location of the Bohai Tomb, is there any definite news?" I asked my uncle.

This time, Uncle Shi shook his head: "I don't know very well, I only know that near the Bohai Tomb, there is a large salt farm. You can communicate with Xia Zongming's apprentice about this matter, and let him send someone to take care of the salt farm. Anyway, now that you have taken over your master's position, Zhuang Youxue will definitely contact you often, and he has to introduce business to your doorman. ”

I was puzzled: "What business?" ”

Uncle Shi smiled meaningfully and said, "It's a bit complicated to explain, but you'll know later." Well, now that it's almost clear, I've got to go. ”

To be honest, I didn't want Uncle Shi to leave at that time, but he had already turned around and walked towards the periphery of the cemetery, so I asked Uncle Shi as if I had nothing to say: "Uncle Shi, do you know Zhou Lie?" ”

I know that Uncle Shi has never been inside, and I have definitely never heard of Zhou Lie, but I just want to talk to Uncle Shi for a while.

Uncle Shi turned his head and asked me in surprise, "Zhou Lie, is it Zhou Tianshi's real name?" ”

I shook my head: "No, he is a swordsman of the Han Dynasty, and he has a deep relationship with Jisoul Village. ”

Uncle Shi immediately shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." Okay, I'm really leaving. ”

After saying this, he quickly walked into the bamboo forest, and his figure was quickly completely blocked by the emerald green bamboo.

Uncle Shi left, and never came back. In the huge Soul Village, I am the only one left.

Although Uncle Xia and Master Zhao often came to visit me, and Liang Houzai and they often contacted me, for most of the day, only the mist of the Soul Village accompanied me.

The Library Pavilion has become the place I go to most often, and Master has always asked me to read more history books during his lifetime, and in the Library of Scriptures, there is no shortage of history books. Official history, wild history, up and down 5,000 years, inside and outside the Great Wall, everything.

During this year, I learned how to live alone and also learned to entertain myself in solitude.

I didn't get a haircut for a whole year because I didn't go out of the mountain, and my hair was already long, and by June '07, I had already tied up a ponytail.

Since I was going to school soon, Senior Brother Zhuang suggested that I cut off my hair, but Uncle Xia said that after my hair grows, my luck will be better, so he didn't let me cut it.

So I entered the college campus with long hair, but if I'm not mistaken, I wasn't the only boy in the school with a ponytail.

I remember that when Senior Brother Zhuang led me to the counselor, the counselor looked very disgusted when he saw my hair and kept frowning.

However, it didn't take long for the principal to come, and he seemed to be very familiar with Senior Brother Zhuang, and as soon as I saw Senior Brother Zhuang, I talked endlessly, because I didn't see the principal again, so I forgot what he looked like and what his name was. I only remember that he looked at my hair at that time, and said with a smile, the people Brother Zhuang made friends with are really very individual.

After the principal left, the counselor didn't say anything about my hair, and I could even vaguely feel that her attitude towards me had become a little warmer.

Others say that the university is a small society, and the trivialities in interpersonal relationships can be reflected in this small society. I don't think that's true at all.

When I came to the classroom, the counselor asked me to introduce myself to the whole class and connect with everyone by the way.

I couldn't help but laugh as I stood on the podium and looked at the room full of people my age, everyone staring at me with a curious look.

I'm not sure why I laughed at the time, maybe because I experienced a whole year of loneliness and was spontaneously happy to see so many people, or maybe I was happy because I felt like I was finally back in the sun.

As for self-introduction, I just said my basic information, what is my name, how old I am, and where is my hometown.
