Volume XIX, Chapter 15
Legend has it that three hundred years ago, our ancestors got this knife by chance, but this knife is an ominous thing, it has demonic nature, ordinary people can't control it at all, in order not to make it harm the world, therefore, it was collected by the ancestors, these generations, only the eldest son of the Xie family knows this secret, but never knows where this knife was hidden by the ancestors, although we all know this treasure, but our Xie family is not good at knife skills, therefore, I don't care too much about this knife, however, I never dreamed of itIt's unthinkable that this knife will be hidden under the offering table!"
"Dad, you've been talking about it for so long, what is the origin of this knife, and why is it so mysterious. β
"This knife is called the Evil Spirit Holy Knife!"
"Evil Spirit Holy Knife! Could it be that this knife is the weapon used by the legendary Heavenly Divine Marquis, this is not the legendary demon thing, but how could it appear in our family, and how could our ancestors get it!" Xie Zhenguo was shocked after hearing his father's words, he didn't expect that such a big secret would be hidden in his family.
"I don't know exactly what this is about, but our ancestor was really thoughtful and hid the knife under the offering table, he calculated that our juniors, no matter how they moved, they would move their tablet together with this offering table, otherwise, our family moved several times, I'm afraid this knife would not have stayed in our house for a long time!"
"This knife doesn't look special! Why do the legends of the outside world deify it so much, it seems that the rumors are really exaggerated!" Xie Zhenguo picked up the Evil Spirit Holy Knife and observed it carefully, but he didn't find anything special. I couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife and pump it hard. I wanted to pull the knife out of its sheath, but I didn't expect it. He didn't pull the knife out of its sheath with all the strength of his body. "Hey, it's really strange, I can't pull out a knife with my strength! Didn't Tianzong just say that he danced this knife?"
"This knife is spiritual, how can it be opened so easily, the ancestors have a legacy, no one of my Xie clan is allowed to use this knife without authorization, besides, this knife is something that everyone wants. Back then, this evil spirit holy knife, caused by the bloody storm once made the entire Sky Continent crazy, I don't know how many people gave their lives in vain for this, if this matter leaks out, I am afraid it will bring disaster to our family, the so-called puppet is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty, or put this knife away, so as not to cause others to covet. Zhenguo. You must be careful that this secret cannot be told under any circumstances, not to anyone, and it was supposed to wait until I was dying to tell you this secret. But now that the situation is special, I won't hide it anymore, but you must keep it a secret. Even your wife can't say it, this is the last instruction of your ancestors. Otherwise, woe will surely befall you. β
"My father's words are very true. I made a note of, alas, Tianzhong, this kid is really naughty, a good ancestral hall was messed up, and the ancestral plaque was made like this, really. Xie Zhenguo felt a little angry, how could this kid do things so inconsequentially.
"I still hope that the ancestor is not strange, he is still just a child, no strange, no strange!" Xie Chengde picked up all the tablets and kept praying.
"Dad, where is this knife hidden?"
"It's a pity that the offering table was shattered, so put it on the top of the secret room, do you see there, it's a dark compartment, you hide it there." Xie Chengde pointed to a hidden compartment at the top of the secret room.
After hiding the knife, the father and son walked out of the secret room and returned to Tianzong's room, Tianzong was still lying on the bed weakly, but his face was better than just now.
"Grandpa, did you see the knife?"
"Found it, isn't it this knife? There's nothing unusual, isn't it just an ordinary knife!" Xie Zhenguo found another knife with a somewhat similar style to the Evil Spirit Holy Knife out of nowhere, took it out, and handed it to Tianzong.
"Yes, this is the knife that made me like this. Tianzhong couldn't tell the truth for a while, where would he have thought that his grandfather and father would lie to him.
"This knife has wounded my son, and I'm going to destroy it to vent my hatred. After Xie Zhenguo finished speaking, he pulled out the knife angrily, with his cultivation, an ordinary knife in his hand, how could it withstand his blow, with a little force, the knife was broken into four sections.
"Yes, destroy it, see if it dares to bully my grandson!" Xie Chengde also supported Xie Zhenguo on the side, after all, the evil spirit holy knife is very important, if this matter is accidentally leaked, then I don't know how much turmoil it will set off, maybe, the entire Xie Mansion will suffer because of this, of course they don't want this to happen, in desperation, the father and son had to sing a double reed, hiding from Tianzong, Wen Yuni and the other three.
"Hey, it's a pity that it's a good knife!" Tianzong felt a little regretful, he still thought that this knife was very good, but it had been destroyed, and there was nothing to be done.
"You kid, you actually destroyed the ancestral hall, I haven't even settled accounts with you, as soon as you come back, you will cause trouble for me, I will not take you back if I knew it. Xie Zhenguo saw that Tianzong was still a little reluctant, and he was afraid that Tianzong would find something wrong, so he immediately diverted his attention and scolded Tianzong lovingly.
"Hey, forget it, forget it, the child is still young, and everything has already happened, what do you blame him for, be careful to frighten the child. Wen Yuni's love son was heartbroken, and she couldn't help hugging Tianzong and said.
The matter seemed to have come to an end at this point, but Tianzong's nightmare had just begun, and his injuries healed quite quickly, but soon he discovered a very serious matter, which not only troubled the Xie Mansion, but also alarmed the entire Aerospace Continent.
After Tianzong's injury healed, he found that he no longer had any true qi in his body, all his true qi was completely gone, it was as if he had never cultivated before, even if he wanted to cultivate again now, he couldn't do it anymore, because he couldn't gather qi at all. Although there is no blockage in the meridians in the body, the magical elemental energy in the body seems to have disappeared. He could no longer harness magic, and Tianzong was completely transformed into an ordinary mediocre person.
I didn't expect Tianzong to get such a strange disease. You must know that although he is still young, he is talented, and if he has never cultivated, he would barely be sad, but he is now a cultivator, and he is also a very promising and promising person, and now he has suddenly lost everything, with his already superhuman superiority, and now he has suddenly lost everything, and the blow he has suffered is not small. It's just painful.
Tianzong is now in despair, looking for death and life at home, of course, the school has no face to go again, he refuses to go back to school, although the school once sent someone to take over Tianzong, a student like Tianzong, even if it is a waste, the school is very welcome, after all, this is a good signboard. But Tianzong refused to go back no matter what. No matter how Xie Chengde and Xie Zhenguo persuaded them, Tianzong just refused to go back to school.
In desperation, Xie Zhenguo had no choice but to go to the palace to ask King Wu Zhujun for help, and ask the royal physicians and therapists of the palace to diagnose and treat him. After Wu Zhujun heard about Tianzong's situation, he also expressed considerable concern, he was Tianzong's father-in-law. Of course, I am willing to help, in order to treat Tianzong. He sent all the best royal physicians in the palace to the Xie Mansion, but. Everything seems to be in vain, Tianzhong's illness no one can figure out, why he has lost all his strength, and it is irreversible, because with Tianzhong's age, even if he loses all his power and magic energy, it doesn't matter, he can completely re-cultivate, but now the blame is that his disease seems to have lost all his mental functions, his meridians are unimpeded, but the true qi cannot operate normally, as long as there is a trace of energy in the body, it will immediately disappear into intangible, such a strange and incurable disease really makes all good doctors helplessγ
Xie Zhenguo invited almost all the famous doctors, and King Wu Zhujun also attached great importance to this matter, he had posted a list of texts, and the major guilds in the Sky Continent had issued a recruitment order, as long as he could cure Tianzong's illness, he would definitely thank him with three million gold coins, under such a heavy reward, almost all the good doctors of the Sky Continent came to Miyun Country to treat Tianzong, in order not to disturb Xie Fu, Wu Zhujun took Tianzong to the palace and let the doctor treat him, but the result seemed to be the same, no one could cure Tianzong at allγ
The king can be said to have done his best to Tianzong, as the king can do this little bit, which has made the Xie Mansion of course grateful to the king's kindness, at the beginning everyone still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that since such a fanfare for Tianzong to find a good doctor to diagnose and treat, there will always be someone in the entire Sky Continent who can cure Tianzong, but the result is helpless, and over time, it is becoming more and more disappointing, and finally, even Tianzong himself has lost confidence, thinking that he is hopeless.
Xie Zhenguo has rushed back to the border pass, after all, he is a general guarding the pass, how can he leave his post for a long time, although he is worried about the sky, but after all, the state affairs are important, and in desperation, he had to return to the station.
After hearing that his brother-in-law was suffering from a strange disease, Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng also rushed back to visit, after all, they were also more than willing to do but not have enough strength, and the two could only comfort Tianzong, and they couldn't help at all.
Xie Chengde knew that Tianzong's strange illness was likely to have a lot to do with the Evil Spirit Holy Knife, but he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he could only bury this matter in his heart. Although he has enlightened Tianzong many times, it doesn't matter if he doesn't practice martial arts, like he doesn't practice martial arts, he can't still get an official and a half-job, the most important thing for people is to rely on their brains, and it's not bad to be a civil official, besides, now that his family is so good, it doesn't matter what Tianzong does.
Tianzong didn't listen to these words at all, he knew that his master was comforting him, but, with his child's temper and heart, of course, he would be on the tip of the horns, he couldn't understand how he suddenly became like this, he locked himself in his room all day and refused to come out to see people.
Seeing his grandson give up on himself like this, Xie Chengde was anxious, to tell the truth, it doesn't matter if Tianzong practices martial arts or not, it doesn't matter if he follows his father's old path, it's just that Tianzong's self-abuse is what he is most worried about, he can't wait for him to be able to suffer for Tianzong, after all, the child is still young, which makes the toss continue, which really makes them worry about the elders.
But. This situation didn't last long, and Tianzong didn't worry them for long. He walked out of the room and slowly returned to his old habits.
After all, it's a child's heart. As soon as the anger disappeared, it was fine, Xie Chengde was very happy, Tianzong finally returned to the previous situation, which made Xie Chengde and others happy, they had been idle at home for a while, and Tianzong himself asked to go to school immediately.
Of course, Xie Chengde was very happy to hear Tianzong's words, and sent Tianzong to the aristocratic school without hesitation, but it was just a little troublesome. Tianzong can no longer practice martial arts and magic, and Xie Chengde must personally go to say hello to the teachers at the school.
The school has long known that Tianzong has this strange disease, he is the only son of Xie Zhenguo, and the king's righteous son, of course the school does not dare not buy Xie Tianzong's face, everything is as usual, it's just that for the practice of magic and martial arts, Tianzong can only learn theories. I can't do it anymore.
Why did Tianzong have such a big change, is it because his grandfather Xie Chengde thought, because he was angry. Of course not.
Tianzong felt that he was terminally ill and hopeless. He was born into a privilege and has always been at the top of his school, at the top of his list. He was a proud man, but now he suddenly suffered such a big blow. Having lost everything, how can it be recovered so easily. Don't look at him as he is only eight years old, but his vanity is very strong.
Tianzong wanted to lock himself in the house forever and didn't want to see anyone, but one night when he felt desperate, a man in black appeared in his room. The man in black had his head covered in a hood, and he couldn't let people see his true face at all, and he really frightened him when he appeared quietly like this night.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Tianzong was very scared of the appearance of the man in black, he was now powerless, anyone could bully him, in fact, at his young age, in the face of an adult, what defense ability did he have, but now he couldn't turn around psychologically, and the invisible pressure made him feel weak and afraid.
"Little friend, don't be afraid, I'm here to treat you, your illness looks at the entire Empty Sky Continent, and only I can cure your illness. But ......," the man in black said slowly.
"But what?" Tianzong couldn't help but have a light in his eyes when he heard the words of the man in black, and said urgently.
"It's nothing, you just have to promise me one condition, and I can help you get cured. β
"On what terms?"
"It's very simple, you can't show your kung fu in front of others, which means you can't know that you can do kung fu, including your loved ones, as long as you agree to this condition, I can cure you all. β
"That's it, okay, I promise you!"
"Don't promise so much, some things are easier said than done, if you disobey, you will have to sell your soul to me, this is a fair deal, do you want to. β
"Okay, I promise!"
"Then you make an oath. β
"Okay, I swear, I thank the heavens that if I show my kung fu in front of people, I will sell my soul to this senior, and I will never regret it, I swear by heaven, and the earth is the proof, if there is a violation, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. β
"Okay, I believe in you, you have to remember your oath, I will first teach you a set of mental methods, you first memorize the mental methods, so that you can practice in the future, and then concentrate on cultivating the set of mental methods, and you should not learn any other martial arts mental methods, so as not to mislead you. After that, I'll open up the meridians all over your body. β
"I want to know what kind of illness I am suffering from, and what kind of mental method you have taught me. β
"You are suffering from a very rare disease, all the meridians in your body are blocked, and although they are unimpeded, you are unable to practice magic and martial arts. As for the mental method I taught you, it is a magical mental method, which is more clever than any mental method, as long as you learn this mental method, no one in the entire Empty Sky Continent will be able to match you, and you can run rampant anywhere in the world. β
"Is it so amazing?"
"You'll find out later. Don't be verbose, write it down. β
"Yes, Senpai. Tianzong said happily.
"With Tianzheng, with the earth, through the quiet spring, into the five intestines, set the mind, refine the gods, deify the void, sink the dantian, gather the three flowers, dance the evil spirits, collect 10,000 yuan, Na Sumeru, turn into a great success, to do nothing, Kan Dao, heaven and earth travel. Okay, you've already memorized the mantra. β
"Senior, I've written it all down word for word. β
"Yes, it seems that you are quite smart, I didn't choose the wrong person. β
But I didn't understand what that meant. β
"You don't need to understand, you just have to remember, and tomorrow morning, you'll know how to do it. Okay, I'm going to heal you now, just lie in bed, close your eyes, relax your whole body, and I'll take care of the rest. β
The black-clothed man lightly touched his hand, Tianzong only felt a wave of tiredness welling up in his mind, twisted his head, and fell asleep, and the black-clothed man's hand emitted a black light, which quickly clicked on Tianzong's body, and after a while, he stopped.
"I didn't expect this kid's bones to be really good, it seems that the old man's luck is good, but it's a pity that he is too young, so many years the old man has been waiting for him, and he doesn't care about the past few years, boy, even if you are blessed, it is not in vain to be able to learn the 'magic energy mixed with the true qi' of this seat, and when the time comes, this seat will take it back in person." Since your ancestors have made this seat wait innocently for hundreds of years, then it is up to you to pay for it, let you use it for a few years first, hahaha!" After laughing, the man in black disappeared into the room of the sky out of thin air! )
