Qian Peng died, Hu Yun fled, and the siege of us by the Shangqing faction came to an end.
At this time, I suddenly realized that the panda and the night general were still fighting with the four Taoist priests who had infiltrated the courtyard, and I quickly turned around and went back, and saw that the panda was dragging the four little Taoist priests into the courtyard one by one.
There was an ancient well in the courtyard, and the four little Taoist priests were pressed next to the ancient well by the panda. The panda asked them if they wanted to go to the well and drink a few sips of water.
The little Taoist priests shook their heads one after another, they had never seen such a terrifying battle.
I smiled slightly and walked over with Yulian. Seeing Yulian, General Night and Panda were very happy and hurriedly asked about Yulian's injuries.
Yulian said that the injury had basically recovered, and the phoenix fetus was indeed a good thing.
General Ye nodded frequently, saying that the Jinghua in the phoenix fetus is beneficial to the cultivation of powerful ghosts, and now that Yulian has absorbed the energy in the phoenix fetus, her combat effectiveness has soared.
After talking for a long time, I realized that there were four little Taoist priests in the courtyard.
The panda asked in a low voice, "Do you want to do it to prevent future troubles?" โ
At this moment, an old voice came from the attic: "Disciple, let them go." โ
I looked up and saw Master's frail face.
Master's current appearance is really distressing. Although it is said that birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, but seeing my loved ones go down day by day makes my heart like a knife.
Since Master has given an order, how can I disobey it?
I glared fiercely at the four little Taoist priests, and said in a deep voice: "Get out, remember it clearly, don't let me see you again!" โ
The four little Taoist priests were originally the "stealing chickens and dogs" found by the Shangqing faction, and they may not all be the legitimate heirs of the Shangqing faction, and the purpose of coming here this time was just to steal the "Xuantian Secret Record". They are afraid that they have already been frightened by the panda's skills, and they may not dare to hold grudges in the future. If you go, you're gone.
Seeing these young people leave the courtyard, I asked Yulian to go back to the phoenix fetus to rest first, and took the panda and the night general upstairs to the master's room.
Master was too ill to stand for a long time, so he sat on a wicker chair to entertain us.
I felt uncomfortable in my heart and asked in a low voice, "Master, during this period of absence, have you been wronged by the Shangqing faction?" โ
Master smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Silly boy, Master's status in Nanjing City is so noble, there is also a younger brother in Beijing City, even if the Shangqing faction has a big family, how can he wronged me?" โ
I smiled bitterly: "Master, just now a Taoist priest of the Shangqing Sect has already said that the situation in Nanjing City these days is far from what it used to be, and even the Tao Qian Daoist of the Shangqing Sect has changed his sex...... I can more or less guess what you've been through. โ
As soon as Master was told by me, the expression on his face changed slightly. He coughed twice, shook his head and said, "That's it, what kind of sectarian dispute, Daoist dispute...... These things don't matter to me anymore. I'm really old now, I'm useless, and I can't take care of a lot of things. Apprentice, Master, my life is coming to an end, this is the destiny of heaven, and it is inevitable......"
Speaking of this, the master's eyes were lowered, as if he looked at life and death.
I didn't accept it, but I didn't know what to say. At this time, General Ye spoke: "Lao Zheng, isn't this your style?" Even if you really have an end of life, according to your previous impassioned temperament, you always have to stand up when you encounter injustices. Now that your apprentice is wanted by Maoshan and slandered, and the Shangqing faction in Nanjing City rides on your neck to, do you really condone them like this? โ
Hearing this, the master smiled bitterly and shook his head frequently: "General Night, the ups and downs of honor and disgrace are all mandated by heaven. I've seen it through, can't you see it through? โ
General Ye was speechless when he heard this, sighed, spread his wings and flew to the bedside, and said in a low voice: "Lao Zheng, I thought you were Lao Ji Fu Fang back then, so I was willing to share a lot of news with you, why are you so decadent now......
Master sighed faintly, but did not say why. However, there was always a thought in my heart that Master must have encountered something that made him completely disheartened.
Everyone fell silent, and the Night General stood on the windowsill looking into the distance, combing his feathers from time to time; The panda stood beside him with his hands down, not knowing what to say; And I don't know how to persuade Master, Master's insight is far above mine, and even if I persuade him, I will definitely not be able to persuade him back.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a while, the master suddenly spoke: "Apprentice, come, the master has something for you." โ
As he spoke, he gently stood up from his wicker chair, walked to the side, and took out an old manuscript from the shelf.
This manuscript is quite ancient, and is still read from right to left, with two sheets of brown paper on the outside and four layers of thickened rice paper in the middle, on which the handwriting is copied in small block letters.
Master handed me the manuscript, and I took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, at first I didn't think there was anything, but when I thought about it, I was suddenly shocked! Turning to the front to look, I saw that there were four big characters written on the brown paper on the front of this manuscript: Xuantian Secret Record!
"Master, ......?"
I have long heard that the "Xuantian Secret Record" is the heirloom of the Zheng family, which not only has the internal strength and mental method comparable to the "Huang Ting Jing" of the Shangqing School, but also the mechanism and mystery of collusion swordsmanship. Before, Zheng Shihuan wanted to get this secret book from his grandfather, but he never got his wish, which was also the biggest knot between him and his master and grandson.
Now that Master has given me this treasure, his meaning is self-evident.
I just felt that the secret book in my hand weighed more than a thousand pounds, so I asked Master, "Master, this is not appropriate, is it?" โ
Master smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "There is nothing inappropriate. I have four apprentices in my life, the first two are not filial, don't mention it, and the third one, although his character cultivation is outstanding, he is ruined by his lack of self-knowledge. You are the fourth and the only one by my side at the moment, and this "Xuantian Secret Record" can only be given to you, which is both my decision and the will of God. โ
I still want to refuse, because this book is the secret biography of the Zheng family, and according to the rules, Zheng Shihuan is more qualified than me.
However, Master held my hand and stopped me from continuing to excuse myself, and he said, "You heard Master say that Master has not much Yang Shou left, and his ability is limited after all. The cultivation in this life is not advanced in the Xuanmen, so there are many things that cannot be done. You must know that there are people outside of the human world, and there are heavens outside the sky, and in this world, Master is just a hill on your way forward, not even a mountain...... And there are bound to be many mountains to cross along your way. This "Xuantian Secret Record" is the last help that Master can give you. The real book is a scourge, and there are countless people who covet it. You go back and study it, memorize the book, and then burn it, and don't leave the physical object behind. One day in the future, when you have the ability to protect this treasure, you will write it down silently and pass it on to future generations, understand? โ
When the master said this, there was a faint feeling of explaining what was going on. My heart was filled with grief, and tears rolled in my eyes......
I shook my head and tried to refuse, but Master had already turned and walked towards his inner room.
He smiled lightly: "Apprentice, accept it, these are all destiny, and in the face of destiny, you must obey ......"
At this point, Master had closed the door to the inner room.
I stood at the door holding the "Xuantian Secret Record", and my heart was very heavy.
The Night General flew over my shoulder and asked me in a low voice, "What?" Since Lao Zheng has decided to hand over this book to you, it means that he trusts your ability and personality, why don't you? โ
I smiled wryly and didn't answer.
In fact, I feel in my heart that this book is like a kind of inheritance, more like a symbol. Once this book is passed on to me, it means that Master is about to pass away from the world and leave me.
I didn't want to face separation, so I always felt that if Master didn't pass on this book, He would never leave me...... Although this thing is impossible.
Although Master's current situation is not yet on the verge of death, I always feel that this time I am separated, and it seems that I will never see Master again......
I went back to my room with the book in my arms, turned on the light and read it all night, hoping to live up to Master's painstaking efforts.
However, the contents of this book were by no means readable in one night, and I was dizzy with the complex language, so I could only memorize the sentences by rote in order to fulfill my master's instructions, and when it was close to dawn, I finally lost my control and fell asleep on the bed......
It didn't take long to sleep, and the panda rushed into the room around 8 o'clock in the morning to look for me, and the first thing he said after entering the door woke me up instantly.
He shouted, "Yang Ye! Get up! Mr. Zheng is missing! โ
