Volume 5: The First Song Four Hundred and Eleven: Legacy

Qian Chao knelt in front of Mr. Zhuang and mourned, and Mozu and the old shopkeeper watched with embarrassment.

After a long time, Qian Chao felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and at the same time a gentle voice said:

"The dead are gone, the living are like this, get up, there is still something to tell you."

The old shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help Qian Chao, and handed him a towel to wipe the tears on his face.

Mo Zu looked at Qian Chao and said:

"We've met, do you remember the old man?"

"I remember, when the juniors arrived that day, the seniors were playing chess with Mr. Zhuang."

"Yes, that's it, well, probably you don't know the identity of the old man, the old man's surname is Mo, Mo Ju is also, a five-spirit monk, often practices on Yuhu Mountain......"

Qian Chao had already guessed that this old man was a Yuanying monk, and now that the other party had revealed his identity, he should bow down, after all, the other party was a Yuanying Patriarch-level figure, but Mo Zu stretched out his hand to stop Qian Chao and continued:

"There is no need to be like this, the old man and Brother Zhuang have been old friends for many years, and he is an equal friend, you and Brother Zhuang are old friends, and when you see the old man in the future, you can be called Mr."

Mr. Zhuang is an extraordinary person, and the old friends who can be friends with him for many years are naturally also very people, most of these people are free and easy, and they don't care much about these etiquette, so Qian Chao saluted and praised:

"Yes, the younger generation has seen Mr. Mo."

Mo Zu nodded with satisfaction:

"Brother Zhuang left suddenly, it's really a pity, but he has a good temperament, life and death have long been expected, so before he died, he explained his future affairs one by one very clearly, and left letters to his friends, as well as one of yours, here, don't be in a hurry to see it, listen to the old man continue, according to Brother Zhuang's last wish in the letter left to the old man, this Yi Mingxuan will be in your name in the future, and he has left you the real estate house and all the things here......"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Qian Chao was a little surprised: "This ......"

The real estate house is nothing to Qian Chao, but all of Mr. Zhuang's personal belongings are left to Qian Chao, which is what surprises him, Mr. Zhuang and Qian Chao have the same habit, that is, collecting books, that is, Mr. Zhuang has collected all the books in his life to Qian Chao, and those are priceless treasures.

"It's normal," Mo Zu said, "I think you also know the origin of Brother Zhuang, Lao Bao has served Brother Zhuang all his life, both of them are Yingzhou monks, and they have long been like brothers and sisters along the way, but Lao Bao is not the successor of Brother Zhuang, and Lao Bao is also old, he is different from Brother Zhuang, and he has the intention to return to his roots and return to his hometown in the future, but that is all in the future, and he will talk about it in the future." And you, although you and Brother Zhuang do not have the name of master and apprentice, but in fact you are the only successor of Brother Zhuang in this world, and there is nothing else except you. Brother Zhuang can't accept apprentices because he was forced to make an oath in Yingzhou, but in fact, you are no different from his disciples, the old man is not wrong about this, right? ”

"Exactly......

"That's why he left all his things to you, the most precious thing about Brother Zhuang is his studies, as well as the various classics he collected and the books he wrote with great painstaking efforts, they are all yours, it's a treasure mountain, you can't waste it, understand?"

"Juniors understand."

Mo Zu nodded, and then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took out a small bag from his body, handed it to Qian Chao and said:

"Here are some of the books that the old man used to borrow from Brother Zhuang before, and now I can only return them to you, and those that can enter the old man's eyes are rare classics, you have to refer to them carefully, understand?"

"Yes." Qian Chao said and his hands knotted.

Well, it must be said that Mo Zu has put his mind to it here, and the books he gave Qian Chao are not borrowed from Mr. Zhuang at all, but the essence of Mo Zu's own lifelong study of runes. Mozu's rune science can be said to be a school of its own, which is different from Mr. Zhuang's emphasis on the complete general meaning of "Tao", Mozu pays more attention to "art", how to use the study of runes. After all, Mozu is a monk in the Middle Continent, he does not have Mr. Zhuang's "immortal blood", as long as Mr. Zhuang can integrate the study of runes, he can rely on his own bloodline to use rune spells on a random basis, which can be described as easy and exciting, which Mozu can't do, so he pays more attention to how to transform the study of runes into real spells, from this point of view, Qian Chao is actually closer to Mozu.

Mozu has not accepted disciples so far, although there is no rule in the sect that Yuanying monks are not allowed to accept disciples, but almost all monks will not accept disciples after reaching the realm of Yuanying. The most important thing for Yuanying monks is whether they can ascend to the immortal in the future, which is the ultimate goal of the monk's long practice, for which they don't even want to participate in the affairs of the sect, and only show up when something big happens; Moreover, if a Yuanying monk accepts a Qi Refining Monk as a disciple, then his Qi Refining Disciple will be the same generation as those important Jiedan elders in the sect, so that even those foundation-building monks in the sect have to call him Uncle when they see him, which is a very embarrassing thing, so it is a matter of Jiedan monks to give apprentices in the Five Spirits Sect.

And the reason why Mo Zu has not accepted apprentices so far is because he didn't have this mind before, he was obsessed with the study of runes during his entire cultivation period, and he became crazy about it, and he had already completely put aside the matter of accepting apprentices and teaching apprentices, although there were a few times when he also went to see the Chengguan Grace test in the sect under the advice of others, but he was not satisfied with the performance of those disciples, and the best performers over the years were also stupid and turbid in his eyes, of course, this is also the appearance of such a character as Qian Chao in the past, Otherwise, maybe he would have thought of accepting him as a disciple.

After matching the nameless master-apprentice relationship between Mr. Zhuang and Qian Chao, Mozu actually envied Mr. Zhuang very much in his heart, at least Brother Zhuang had a successor who made him very satisfied. And looking at the sect, there are almost no disciples who can compare with Qian Chao, Mozu had secretly taught Qian Chao at the beginning, but then he was able to leave what Mr. Zhuang learned in his life in Zhongzhou and Wuling Sect, so he pushed Qian Chao in front of Mr. Zhuang, and now Mr. Zhuang is immortal, Mozu moved his mind again when he saw Qian Chao, he didn't care about what kind of master and apprentice status, but he simply didn't want to let what he learned in his life be inherited by no one, that was a pity for him, and it was also a loss for the Five Spirits Sect, So in the name of returning the book, he handed over what he had learned in his life to Qian Chao's hands, and now Qian Chao carefully accepted his book, Mozu believed that with Qian Chao's intelligence, he would be able to benefit a lot from it, and he looked forward to seeing what the essence of the two old things' knowledge of their lives should look like when it was reflected in one person.

Finally Mozu said:

"Brother Zhuang completely entrusted his future affairs to the old man, the old man will take Brother Zhuang's remains to the stele forest of Yuhu Mountain for burial, if the old man's immortal journey is not smooth in the future, just next to Brother Zhuang as a companion, haha, each other is not lonely, okay, you go to give him a few more salutes, the old man will take Brother Zhuang away, and if you want to worship him in the future, you can see if you can have the fate to go to Yuhu Mountain."

Qian Chao listened, according to the words solemnly knelt down in front of Mr. Zhuang, this time he bowed to Mr. Zhuang's body only used nine bows, Mo Zu nodded with emotion, and immediately remembered to ask the old shopkeeper to quickly take a cup of hot tea and hand it over, Qian Chao took the teacup and sprinkled it at Mr. Zhuang's feet after worshipping, he failed to apprentice when he was alive, and now he can only express his heart in this way.

Before leaving, Mozu also took off a piece of jade pendant from Mr. Zhuang and handed it to Qian Chao, saying:

"This is Brother Zhuang's belongings, he told you to leave it for a thought, and maybe it will be used in the future."

Qian Chao held it with his hands in a daze, and then several elders of Jiedan walked into the courtyard with solemn faces, and carefully and respectfully took away Mr. Zhuang's body, and Mozu also left, leaving Qian Chao looking at the jade pendant in a daze.

……

He has read the letter that Mr. Zhuang left to Qian Chao, in which Mr. Zhuang entrusted the old shopkeeper Bao Jiang to Qian Chao, and asked Qian Chao to return to Yingzhou under the possible conditions in the future, so that Bao Jiang can return to Yingzhou, and there are a few other things that may also be done by Qian Chao, but those are based on the premise that Qian Chao can send Bao Jiang back, if there is that day, Bao Jiang will naturally tell Qian Chao what Mr. Zhuang entrusted, otherwise it is meaningless to say it now.

The "owner" said coldly, and the old shopkeeper said.

The tide of money, who was staring at the letter in his hand, began to react, and immediately realized that with the death of Mr. Zhuang, the relationship between him and the old shopkeeper had also changed.

"Old man, oh, Mr. Bao, you still call me by my real name."

"Then what's the matter, since Mr. Zhuang handed over this store to you, then you will be the new owner in the future."

All of a sudden, there is a tea shop and an old servant, and this old servant's cultivation is still far above Qian Chao, Bao Jiang's return to Yingzhou is naturally not possible now, it seems that how to maintain this tea shop is what Qian Chao should think about at present, in fact, Qian Chao does not have to worry about Yi Mingxuan and Bao Jiang at all, Bao Jiang has been wandering around with Mr. Zhuang, his cultivation is not weak, and he is at least an elder-level figure in the Five Spirits Sect, and he has learned a masterful tea-making craft somewhere, The spiritual tea that Mr. Zhuang usually drinks is from the hands of Bao Jiang, so when they live in seclusion in Ruixuan Town, they also use this tea recipe as a cover, so the business of Yi Ming Xuan is completely still on the old shopkeeper.

As for the identity of the owner, Qian Chao is not ready to continue to dwell on this issue, the owner is the owner, at this time, he thought of the light curtain after Ruixuan Town activated the formation and the strange scene in the light curtain and in the town, Mr. Zhuang died, but why is Ruixuan Town like this? Thinking that something must have happened around the time of Mr. Zhuang's death, otherwise it should never have been like this, so he asked:

"Mr. Bao, the town's protective formation was turned on when I arrived, and there seems to be something happening in the town, is something happening because of Mr. Zhuang's death?"

"Well, it's true, someone came to him from Yingzhou, but this time he didn't come to chase and kill, but unfortunately Mr. Zhuang didn't know the truth before, otherwise he wouldn't have let the owner leave here yesterday, he was worried that those people would be unfavorable to you in the future when they saw the owner, well, it's better like this, I'll tell the owner in detail before and after Mr. Zhuang's death."

With the narration of the old shopkeeper, Qian Chao only then knew everything that had happened after he left yesterday and before the formation was lifted today, Yingzhou, Ram Xiushan, the head of the Zhuang clan, Zhuang Harmony, the black tide that invaded Yingzhou, the method of bitter immortals, and so on......

At the end, Qian Chao asked:

"The last two of the four sentences that Mr. Zhuang read before he died, 'Now that Dan has become a furnace, I still remember the old ties of Yingzhou', does Mr. Zhuang still have any unfulfilled wishes in Yingzhou?"

"Alas...... That's a long story! The old shopkeeper sighed, "It's not a secret, this involves a woman, Mr. Zhuang and her are in love, and the two ...... Alas, but it was the woman's own brother who caused Mr. Zhuang very badly, so that Mr. Zhuang could not gain a foothold in Yingzhou, and finally had to flee from Yingzhou......"

"Is that man...... Ram Show Mountain? ”

"Yes, it's the old horseman!"
