Chapter Seventy-Six: Commitment
Three days later, in the early morning, Yang Ying came to look for Dumb again, and it was half an hour earlier than before.
"Dumb, today my master and I are going to visit the Secret Pavilion for a day, do you still want to follow me?" Although she knew the answer, Yang Ying still habitually asked.
Sure enough, the stupid chick nodded as if pecking rice, and said with a foolish smile: "Wherever Ying'er goes, I will go there, and I will never be separated!"
Half an hour later, Yang Ying took Dumb to the front of the main hall, stood at the door first, and whispered, "We are waiting for the master here." In a moment, you can only follow us outside the barrier of the Secret Pavilion, and wait for me to come out there. You can move around as much as you want during this time, but don't go too far, and don't cause trouble, you know?"
Dumb continued to nod, although he was very reluctant, but after these days of getting along, he could also understand that there were always times when he couldn't follow Yang Ying, and slowly accepted the temporary separation.
With the help of the others, Lu Liang's sober soul could take a closer look at the statue that was worshiped by the Zitong faction.
It is indeed the shape of a man in white, wearing a half-face mask, revealing a pair of shining eyes, and on his shoulder, squatting a majestic black cat.
"Hmm, it's really similar to the two of us! It should be a coincidence, right? If you have a chance, you can ask the Zitong Fairy senior, who is the prototype of this statue. Lu Liang communicated with Xiao Hei, and also became interested in this statue similar to himself.
"When you reach the infant transformation stage, you and I can use the first form of the Covenant Talent Secret Technique, the unity of man and beast. At that time, under the influence of the covenant, my appearance and abilities will also evolve once. If I look right, the shape of that black cat should be exactly what I looked like after my first evolution. Do you believe that between heaven and earth, there is a secret technique to go back to the past?" Xiao Hei asked a question that Lu Liang had never thought about.
Lu Liang was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer. Back in the past, it was the legendary top avenue, the ultimate of the way of time and space! Maybe it was because I was lonely and unheard, anyway, I had never heard of anyone who had achieved such a profound achievement in time and space. Maybe in the future, when you go to the heavenly realm, maybe there will be this kind of supernatural power that seizes the heavens and the earth!
At this time, the Zitong Fairy also walked out of the main hall, saw the two people waiting at the door, nodded slightly, and then waved his hand, and the three disappeared in place.
After a while, the figures of the three of them emerged somewhere, and Lu Liang was surprised to find that this place was actually the entrance to the back mountain!
"Dumb, do you remember what I said before? You wait here, my master and I will go in to pay respects, and we'll see you when we come out. Yang Ying said softly, staring at Dumb with unquestionable eyes.
Dumb scratched his head and muttered, "Isn't this where I live......?"
But seeing Yang Ying's resolute appearance, Dumb stuck out his tongue, and could only find a place to sit down, playing with the stones on the ground in his hands, pouting, and looking very depressed.
Subsequently, Fairy Zitong and Yang Ying passed through the barrier at the entrance of the back mountain one after the other and entered inside.
The two of them walked straight to the colorful barrier, and the Zitong Fairy took out two cyan stones, one in her hand and one to Yang Ying. Then as soon as he took a step, he entered the barrier and disappeared, and Yang Ying followed closely. In the next moment, he had also entered the mysterious space inside the barrier.
If Lu Liang also came in at this moment, he would definitely be surprised to close his mouth, because this was not the place he entered every night at all!
It is an ancestral hall-like place, with a long table in the center of it with a sword stand and an ordinary-looking wooden sword on it. On the wall behind the long table, a picture hangs with the singing of birds and flowers, the movement of streams, and the green grass.
Under a large tree, a young man dressed in white and wearing a half-face mask was caressing a blue-haired girl who was a head shorter than him with his hand. The young man's exposed face was full of smiles, but the girl was pouting and pinching her waist, looking very unhappy.
Since entering this mysterious space, the eyes of the Zitong Fairy have been fixed on the picture scroll, and there is a strong obsession in her eyes.
Yang Ying is not surprised, since decades ago, when she entered here with Shizun for the first time, every time, Shizun looked at the picture scroll quietly until the sun set, and then took her out of here. During this period, Shizun couldn't say a word, just like a statue, and there seemed to be only two people in the picture scroll left in his eyes.
This time, Yang Ying still stayed by the side of the Zitong Fairy as usual. Although she has always wondered why every time the master comes here, he doesn't arrange for her to do anything, just let herself stand by her side.
"Ying'er, over the years, the teacher brought you here. Do you know why?" Fairy Zitong, who had never spit out a word here, actually spoke, which made Yang Ying quite unexpected.
"The disciple is stupid, and he still hopes that the master will make it clear. The apprentice only knows that this is a forbidden place for my faction, and it must be related to some secrets, but no matter how specific it is, I don't know. Yang Ying replied respectfully.
Zitong Fairy's eyes were soft, and she said softly: "There is indeed a secret here, a secret of my Zitong Sect's founding faction! But why, can we still be at ease in the realm of cultivating immortals?"
Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, this was what she had long had doubts, but she didn't have the right time to ask, but she didn't expect Shizun to take the initiative to lead it out, and then replied: "I only know that the great array of my Zitong Sect Protector has the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods! Just like after Shizun rescued me back then, the gang of bandits from the Wild Wolf Gate came to attack our big array, and as a result, nearly 100 people were killed and injured in an instant! After that, there was no one nearby who came to stir up trouble. But the origin of this great array, the disciple is really curious!"
Fairy Zitong smiled slightly, turned her gaze to the scroll again, and said softly: "Ying'er, the man in the scroll, you must remember! In the future, when you become the head of the Zitong faction, if you choose the person to inherit, you must also come here to worship for a day every year, just like a teacher! Now I can tell you that this is the last time the teacher will bring you here, and in another half a year, the teacher will go out on a long trip, and he will no longer care about the affairs of the sect." ”
Yang Ying was shocked, fell to her knees with a "plop", and said urgently: "Master! How can you leave this million-year-old foundation created by your own hands and leave so freely! If the master has something to look for, even if it is difficult to find, there can be a futile to do it for him! If the Zitong faction does not have a master, the disciples dare not imagine what will happen! I hope that the master will think twice!"
Looking at Yang Ying, who was so anxious, Fairy Zitong pursed her lips and smiled, helped her up and said, "Back then, there was only one purpose for creating this Zitong Sect for the teacher, and that was to protect one of the legendary Five Elements Secret Treasure for that person, the Heavenly Blazing Water. It wasn't until the destined person in his mouth obtained and refined it that I could be considered to have fulfilled the promise I had made. Now, that destined person has appeared, and according to what he said before, from this time, there is less than a year left, which is the time to fulfill the promise. ”
Yang Ying blinked in confusion, and said in confusion: "Then Shizun doesn't have to leave the sect......!
Zitong Fairy nodded slightly, showing a relieved look, and said slowly: "Yes! It is this person, this is also the true intention of the teacher to let you go out to find someone! Of course, all this was told to me by that person, and I just did what he said." Below, I will briefly tell you the origin of all this, which can be regarded as something that you must know as the second head of the Zitong Sect. ”
"My Zitong Sect was born about three million years ago, not so much because I founded it, but because that person helped me create it. This man is the prototype of the man and the statue at the entrance of the main hall in the scroll, but unfortunately, I never had a chance to see him in real form. However, when this happens, I will be able to go out to find him without any worries. He once said that if we are destined, there will definitely be a goodbye day, but it will definitely not be in the sect. That's why I have to go!"
"The Great Array of Protectors was created by him for me, it is said that even if Da Luo Jin Immortal comes, it will not be easy to break it from the outside. Even if someone sneaks into the sect to plot against him, as long as one of the two formations exists, it can make him scatter!"
"Look at the wooden sword on the table, is it the same as the one hanging in Dumb's residence now? These two seemingly ordinary wooden swords are exactly where the two eyes of my Zitong Sect's Protector Sect Great Array are located, and this is also the secret of the non-sect leader. ”
"The position of the head of the house, before I leave, I will pass it on to you. If you don't want to be a disciple anymore, after a while, choose a stable disciple and pass it on. As a teacher, I don't want you to waste all this moment of beauty on this kind of ethereal word 'head'. ”
"The biggest secret of my sect is that the Heavenly Blazing Water in the Five Elements Secret Treasure is actually in the colorful barrier created by that person. Where we are now, we are just one of them. Even if you are a teacher, you can only come to this colorful place, and only that person can enter other places if you are destined for it. Zitong Fairy said these words with a smile, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood, and the joy from the heart was something Yang Ying had never seen for so many years.
Seeing that Fairy Zitong had made up her mind, Yang Ying also understood that the day when the master would leave was really not far away......
..............................
At this time, outside the Zitong Sect's Guardian Array, Dumb was walking quickly with a short and fat young man, muttering: "Fatty, where is the flower that Ying'er said she would be very happy to see when she sees it? I've been walking for a long time, and if I can't find it, I'll go back! If Ying'er can't see me when she comes out, she will be in a hurry!"
The short and fat young man laughed, suddenly turned around, took out a talisman from his arms, and slammed it into Dumb's body, while whispering, "Look, isn't this it?"
In his soul, Lu Liang had long felt that this fat man was not at ease, if he hadn't been able to control his body, he would have kicked him down a long time ago! Now seeing him hit his body, he was even more convinced of his previous judgment.
At the same time as the talisman entered the body, Dumb rolled his eyes and planted it directly. The fat man's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, a cloth bag appeared beside him, and in a blink of an eye, he sucked in the dumb who fell to the ground.
Then, the fat man looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he took his pocket and fled.
..............................
A moment later, a phantom suddenly appeared, and a bald, long-bearded old man with a smile was watching with relish, in the direction in which the fat man had disappeared. On his bald head, a small snow-white fox dozed lazily.
The old man patted the little fox on top of his head and said happily: "Don't sleep! You know how to sleep all day long! Why haven't you grown into a pig! Not bad! Not bad! This kid's soul and physique are quite special, and he is worthy of being a closed disciple who I have searched for in three big worlds!"
The little fox opened his eyes, first slapped the old man's face with his tail, and then said with disdain: "Come on, I don't know who it is, there were originally three such powerful clones, but they all inherited your playful character, now it's okay, I don't know which interface to run to be happy! Or, with your status as an old guy, you still use the deity to run to find the apprentice in person? Let the other four people know, do you still have the face to go back to be the boss?"
The old man smiled awkwardly, and said weakly: "If those doppelgangers of mine don't run out, it will be impossible for them to intersect with me, a closed disciple! Without this relationship, they won't be able to meet the conditions for me to accept apprentices, right? Forget it, I can't talk about you." By the way, aren't you going to say hello to your third brother?"
The little fox didn't open his eyes, yawned, and said slowly: "No, we can meet in the future anyway." Ah, I'm sleepy again, our time is coming soon, hurry up and leave!"
The old man waved his hand, and shot out a golden light in the direction where the fat man disappeared, and then muttered: "Apprentice, this thing is also a cause and effect for you, looking forward to the day when you and I will really meet!"
The next moment, a man and a fox disappeared into the air.
..............................
At this time, Dumb was still unconscious, and there were three people standing in front of him. Among them, Qi Yuantian was smiling fiercely: "Boy, when you get the Heavenly Blazing Water, see how I kill you!"
