Volume XIX, Chapter 21
Master, why did you lose your temper just now, does this have anything to do with this kid Xie Tianzong? He is a little child, and he is inevitably a little bit of a big deal, why are you?" It turns out that this military advisor turned out to be the mentor of Prince Lei Ming, no wonder he has such power, Lei Ming asked the old man puzzled after drinking everyone away.
"Thank God, what kind of person is he, the old man is unheard of, but the knife technique he used today, but the old man was shocked!" the old man said with a serious expression.
"What the master said was the Heavenly Evil Sword and the Evil Spirit Sword Technique that the people said just now, although the name is strange, but it is unheard of!" Lei Ming asked puzzledly, however, it was the first time he had seen something that could make his master lose his temper like this, so he also seemed to be moved, and intuitively thought of something, but he was not sure and wanted to get confirmation from the old man's mouth.
"You!" The old man is not a person who is easy to deceive, how could he not guess Lei Ming's careful thoughts, but he did not break it, and continued: "You also know the owner of the evil knife in this day, and it has another name, this evil spirit sword technique!" The old man pondered for a while, and suddenly fell silent.
"Why doesn't the master refuse to tell him directly, can't you still trust the apprentice?" Lei Ming said with some displeasure, although he was his apprentice, he was also a prince, and he was still the commander of the army.
"Where do you want to go, the teacher is just thinking about some trivial things back then, this matter is a long story, so the teacher will tell you slowly. The old man seemed to have woken up from his slumber, and the confused and far-reaching eyes made Lei Ming feel a little confused. It seems that this master himself still does not understand it thoroughly. Lei Ming thought secretly in his heart.
"To make a long story short, the world is simply chaotic. I don't know how many people use false rumors, but there are a few people who really grasp the truth, and the Heavenly Evil Sword in Xie Tianzong's hand is from the Demon Realm, and his original master is the Absolute Heavenly Divine Hou who is feared by the people of our Kongtian Continent, and the other name of the Heavenly Evil Knife is the Evil Spirit Holy Knife! And in the legend, the Heavenly Divine Hou is regarded as a tiger and wolf, the embodiment of the evil demon, and everyone can only avoid it. People only know that there is such an evil spirit holy knife and this terrifying demon realm sword technique used by the Absolute Heavenly God Hou, and a few people have seen the true appearance of the evil spirit holy knife, and a few people know that its real name should be called the Heavenly Evil Knife, and of course, no one knows that its sword method is called the evil spirit sword method!" The old man said quite proudly, it seemed that he had a sense of accomplishment for his knowledge.
"Demon Holy Knife, oh my God, this ...... It's incredible!" Lei Ming couldn't believe his ears, how could this legendary evil knife appear in Xie Tianzong's hands, the evil spirit holy knife has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It has been completely invincible, its horror and demonization are so powerful, Thunder has known it since he was a child, and the bloody wind it brought back then. It makes people feel uneasy now, it is in the minds of the people of the Sky Continent, except for the Tianyan Divine Sword. It is a completely invincible murder weapon, with such a sharp weapon. How could an ordinary mortal like him be able to overcome, like this? Wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with Xie Zhenguo.
"The prince don't be discouraged, this evil spirit holy knife is terrifying, but it is now not what it used to be, because its owner, the Absolute Heavenly God Hou, has become ancient, even if he is lucky enough to be able to get it, it will not be a long-term thing, prince, please think about it, over the years, the evil spirit holy knife has changed hands several times, and who can control it, which one did not end in a tragic death! What's more, there is a promising teacher to help you, so why worry so much, in fact, this evil spirit holy knife old man has also seen it, it is not very powerful. If it weren't for the ...... back then," the old man suddenly realized that he had lost his mouth, and he immediately kept silent.
"Isn't there anything unspeakable about the master, and he doesn't want to tell him directly in front of his apprentice?" Lei Ming felt a little unhappy.
"The prince thinks about it, in fact, this is not a secret thing, but these are just some trivial matters when the old man was young, since the prince is interested, it doesn't hurt for the old man to tell him directly!" The old man said happily, he knew that although the person in front of him was his apprentice, he was a prince after all, and in front of him, he could only tell the truth.
"Please advise the master!" Lei Ming said respectfully.
"It's a long story, it's about three hundred years ago, when the teacher was just debuted, in the empty sky continent is still an unknown generation, in an accidental situation, for the teacher actually heard in an inn that someone was plotting to snatch the Heavenly Evil Knife, for the teacher was the same as you are now, I didn't know that the Heavenly Evil Knife was actually the Evil Spirit Holy Knife, for the teacher was young and vigorous at the time, hearing such a grievance with the crowd bullying the widow, of course I would not stand idly by, after getting the news, I took a step ahead of the group of people, rushed to report the news, at that time I remembered that the name of the person who had the evil spirit holy knife was called a spirit, when the teacher rushed to the place where he lived to report the news, Yiling is naturally very grateful to me, and at that time, I was also full of righteous indignation, how can I allow these injustices to happen, so I also want to help Yiling, but later, when the teacher heard that the knife held by Yiling was the evil spirit holy knife, the teacher was also heartbeating, to be honest, at that time, the teacher also had the intention to seize this knife, but, hehe!" The old man himself also felt a little embarrassed, he was going to help the boxing, but he didn't expect to have a bad heart, this word came out of his mouth, and in front of his apprentice, he really felt a little embarrassed, and could not continue to speak, so this matter has been buried in his heart for many years, it is a piece of his heart, and he has not dared to say it to others, if he didn't say it today, and the person he faced said was his apprentice, but after all, this matter made him ashamed, how could he continue to talk about it.
"Master, why don't you dare to say about this, the divine weapon is an ownerless thing, for those who are destined to get it, who will not covet it, a master like you needs such a divine weapon to match, if you were an apprentice, you would have already snatched it. Lei Ming is also old enough to know that his master, if it weren't for his own power, he would be forced to act as a prince. He won't say anything like this if he kills him.
"After that, it was very simple, but I regret it to this day. At that time, I wanted to gain fame and fortune, and I wanted to help Yiling block the enemy. The second wanted to snatch the evil spirit holy knife after killing all the enemies, and then snatched the evil spirit holy knife, and made this matter seamless, who knew that people were not as good as heaven, and when the knife was fighting with this group of people, he was seriously injured, but the teacher made a wrong decision at that time, let the spirit go first, and blocked the group of people by himself. I didn't expect a spirit to entrust the evil spirit holy knife to a person surnamed Xie, and when I arrived, the person surnamed Xie and the evil spirit holy knife were found like a yellow crane, and this farewell is three hundred years, over the years, I have inquired about this person surnamed Xie in many ways, but on the empty continent, there are more than 10 million people surnamed Xie, and how can they be found. I wanted to wait for the evil spirit holy knife to appear, but the holy knife has been sleeping so far, alas, the world is impermanent. That's why I often teach you to make decisions when you do things, and that's what I taught back then!" the old man said with a sigh of rebirth.
"It turned out that there was this little-known story, which was really eye-opening. It's just that the apprentice has something unclear, and I ask the master for your old man's advice. Lei Ming said respectfully. For this master of his, Lei Ming still relies on him a lot. Of course he had to be humble.
"If the prince has anything to say, the old man must know everything, and he must say everything!" said the old man indifferently, and since the words had been spoken, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Thank you, master, the apprentice just doesn't understand, since a spirit had an evil spirit holy sword, why would it be seriously injured, isn't this too strange, isn't this legend true, who has the evil spirit holy knife, although he can be the king and hegemon, but in the end, he can't escape the bad luck of a tragic death, just like the Tianyan Divine Sword, will it make people go crazy?"
"This matter, I don't know too much about the old decay, when a spirit was dying, he once warned me that the evil spirit holy knife has a powerful demonic energy, and ordinary people can't control it at all, so they will be hit by his powerful energy to the meridians, and finally die tragically, the same is true of a spirit back then, so this evil spirit holy knife is also very human control, His Royal Highness the prince with a noble body, how can if he is in danger, if there is a mistake, the old man will not be able to escape the blame!"
"Hahaha, master, you are too worried, the apprentice just asks casually, even if you are lucky enough to get the Evil Spirit Holy Knife, you still want to honor your old master, and only a master like you, Master, is worthy of having the Evil Spirit Holy Knife, and can control it. Although Lei Ming said haha, but in his heart scolded the old man thousands of times, if he didn't ask for a heavy courtesy, he really couldn't please his master, and although others were here, but he never refused to make a point of strength, Lei Ming asked him to come just to let him get involved in this battle, relying on the name of this old man, let him deal with Miyun and Xie Zhenguo, as long as he is willing to make a move, things will definitely succeed, how do you know that this old thing is very treacherous, how can he not be fooled by him, although he is involved in everything, but he has never just said nothing, Lei Ming has no way to take him, but he does not dare to offend him, because, This old man's origin is too big, although Lei Ming is his disciple, but he is afraid of him.
Don't look at the old man's appearance, but his name is known to everyone in the Sky Continent, he is now a famous master on the Sky Continent, and he is listed among the 'One God and Four Sages' among the 'Martyrs' - Hu Guyan, a high-level magician of fire magic, the ancestor of playing with fire. Demon Cloud Flame 'is his signature, there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Sky Continent, this is only the disciples under his name, if the disciples and grandchildren are counted, I am afraid that there will be no less than hundreds of thousands, however, this old temper is also good and evil, and it is a well-known short-sightedness, and ordinary people dare not provoke him at all. Fifty years ago, he had already retreated and quietly participated, and at the request of the prince of An Yunguo, who was also Lei Ming's father, he accepted Lei Ming as a closed disciple, but Lei Ming's kung fu was not taught by Hu Guyan himself, but was passed down by the senior brothers, but after Lei Ming was relieved of his military power, he returned to the master and re-cultivated, of course Hu Guyan could not allow this to happen, but he was at the critical time of cultivation, so he let Lei Ming live in his door, let Lei Ming practice with peace of mind, and everything would be planned after he got out.
The reason why Lei Ming made a comeback later, it all depended on the help of this old man, and he also helped Lei Ming train this batch of meteor killers, under the bewitchment of this old man, the king of An Yun Kingdom agreed to use Lei Ming again, however, Hu Guyan wanted to retire after the fact. But I don't know how Lei Ming used to keep him in the army as a military advisor, but. It must be of great value, and it is a precious and abnormal thing that can impress this sage. Ordinary things, how can they touch the heart of this old man!
However, Hu Guyan's shelf was too big, and Lei Ming was somewhat suppressed by him, but fortunately, he didn't have much interest in managing the affairs of the army, which relieved Lei Ming's scruples, but the troublesome thing is here. Hu Guyan is like a decoration, he looks like he has nothing to do with himself, he doesn't care about everything, he is the same when he is not here, he has not achieved the original plan of Lei Ming, which makes Lei Ming's heart annoyed, these days he is worried about this matter, if he can let this old man interfere in the affairs of Miyun Kingdom, then Miyun Country will definitely be destroyed. However, he just refused to help, everything had to rely on Lei Ming's own efforts, so why use this old man!
However, since the matter of Xie Tianzong and the Evil Spirit Holy Knife had aroused Hu Guyan's great interest. Lei Ming has also seen that Duanyi, this mentor of his is extremely greedy for the Evil Spirit Holy Knife, as long as he adds another fire. Let him take action to get rid of the Xie family, then the war with Miyun Kingdom is already in sight.
"Master. Leave this matter to the disciples, and I promise to bring the Evil Spirit Sacred Sword to the master. Lei Ming said enthusiastically.
The prince was wrong. As the commander of the three armed forces, you are a person who does big things, how can you easily get involved in danger for this little thing, not to mention that this matter should not be made a big fanfare, you will continue to be your general here, and this matter will be solved by the old man himself. "How can the old man let Lei Ming do this errand, even if he succeeds and returns, I am afraid that the Evil Spirit Holy Knife will not be able to return to his hands.
"But master, the Xie family is very tricky, and it's not easy to deal with!" said Lei Ming.
"Hahaha, what is his Xie Zhenguo family, even if it is the king of Miyun Kingdom, the old man dares to go to his palace to break in. Don't worry, within three days, I will clean up the Xie family, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish. ”
"In this way, Master Lao, you old man!"
After sending out the hidden power of the evil spirit holy knife, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and walked in a daze for a long time, and he didn't know where he was, and when he was completely clear, he had been lost in a forest, it was almost midnight, and the forest was particularly dark, and he was alone in this forest like a headless fly scurrying around, not to mention the southeast and northwest, and he didn't even know where he was, Tianzong knew that he had lost his way, and the only way to do this was to calm down first, find a place to rest for the night, and then plan for tomorrow when it dawns。
Tianzhong's approach was undoubtedly the wisest, he climbed on top of a big tree beside him, stuck himself on the branch, and fell asleep peacefully, he was too tired today, not only Chang Chao played his potential, but also consumed a lot of energy, after all, he was still a child, and fatigue soon made him fall asleep.
It is indeed safer to hide in the trees, however, there are still wild beasts that can climb the trees, and at the most critical moment, the evil spirit holy knife on Tianzong's body will automatically fly out of its sheath, and the fierce beasts that threaten Tianzong will be killed, all of which has been done quietly, without alarming the sleeping Tianzong at all.
It seems that there is nothing to do all night, when Tianzong wakes up, the sky is already bright, because the leaves are thick, the forest still seems a little dark, Tianzong opened his eyes, he immediately smelled a strong smell of blood, looked down, there was a white bone below, and I don't know what beast ate supper under the tree last night, of course, for everything last night, Tianzong is unaware, and nature will not waste anything, last night's beast killed by the evil spirit knife worked overtime all night after other animals worked overtime, and when Tianzong saw it, it was already a piece of white bones, and everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful。
Tianzong is now in a state of fire, he knows that if he doesn't rush back immediately, his father and brother-in-law will definitely be in chaos, Tianzong also knows their worries, if he is really held in front of the battle by Lei Ming, forcing his father to death, he really doesn't know what the final result is, this is the last thing Tianzong wants to see, so now he must rush back to the barracks immediately, so that his father and brother-in-law can rest assured.
Tianzong's luck is really good, because he didn't rush into the forest yesterday, so he was only at the edge of the forest, and did not enter the depths of the forest, otherwise, Tianzong might not have come out so quickly today.
Tianzhong jumped to the top of the tree, he was in a hurry to go home now, as for what oath was not vowed, he had already left it behind, raised his eyes, found the right direction, and rushed towards the outside of the forest.
For the return of Tianzong, everyone has a puzzled attitude, how can a weak person who has no power to restrain the chicken escape from such a group of vicious meteor killers, this matter is too strange, and besides, it is still thunder that catches Tianzong, there is no reason to let Tianzong come back safely in vain.
Xie Zhenguo and Wang Yongbin were also puzzled, they thought that Tianzong might be more than lucky, at least their father and son might meet again on the battlefield, Tianzong was of course taken hostage by Lei Ming, threatening the two of them to surrender, and the final result Tianzong was likely to die in his own hands, Xie Zhenguo had already made up his mind about this, if the father and son really met on the battlefield, Xie Zhenguo would be ruthless and shoot Tianzong on the spot without hesitation.
Xie Zhenguo and Wang Yongbin would never have thought that Tianzong would appear alive in front of him, and he was unscathed, this matter was really strange to the two of them, of course, there were other possibilities, this was the last thing he wanted to see, Xie Zhenguo brought Tianzong back to the big tent with a solemn face.
"Tianzong, now there are only me and Yongbin, you have to answer my words honestly, don't miss anything, if you deceive, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son. Xie Zhenguo said with a sinister face.
"Yes! It was the first time for Tianzong to see Xie Zhenguo's serious expression, and he couldn't help but reply in fear, although their father and son have always been less together and more separated, although Xie Zhenguo is serious, but he loves Tianzong very much, and has never scolded Tianzong, but Tianzong himself feels a little in awe of Xie Zhenguo.
"Father-in-law, the sky is still young, don't act like a prisoner, he will be frightened. Wang Yongbin looked at Tianzong's frightened look, so he hurriedly hugged Tianzong and pulled him to his side.
"You don't care about this matter 1" Xie Zhenguo ignored Wang Yongbin, turned his head and continued to say to Tianzong: "You tell me honestly, how did you come back!"
"I'm running back!" replied in fear.
"Nonsense, how could you be a weak scholar, how could you run out of the hands of those people, unless they are all dead people, you are honest, did you promise Lei Ming to be his spy before he let you come back, is that the case?" Xie Zhenguo's tone made Tianzong feel a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his back.
"No, I sneaked out while those meteor killers weren't looking. After listening to Xie Zhenguo's words, Tianzong couldn't help but argue loudly, it turned out that his father had always thought that he had agreed to Lei Ming's conditions and came here as an internal response before he would be released back safely.
"Then tell me how you ran out, say it quickly!" Xie Zhenguo is a soldier, as a commander, in this military camp, he has no relatives in his eyes at all, this is not that he is ruthless, it can only prove that he is an absolute professional soldier, he attaches importance to state affairs, and there is no home without a country.
"Don't be afraid, tell what happened slowly. Wang Yongbin knew Xie Zhenguo's temper, although he knew that he sympathized because Tianzong was his brother, but Xie Zhenguo treated Tianzong like this, and as Tianzong's brother, he really couldn't stand it.
"I ran out of their hands, I, I ......" Tianzong was a little embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
