Chapter 4: The Last Lesson
After breakfast, Xiao Cong put away the scraps, and then the master and apprentice came to the main hall of Tiandaoxuan together, and sat on the felt under the portrait of the Sanqing patriarch hanging in the center, as Tiandaoweng said before, now, he wants to finish this last lesson for Xiao Cong.
Sweeping away the dust, Tiandao Weng spoke softly, and his attitude was the same as when he lectured before, but this similar scene made Xiao Cong's heart flood with many indescribable feelings, like knocking over a spice jar, with mixed feelings and mixed tastes for a while. He tried to hold back the whimper that came up his throat without making a single sound, this was the last lesson Master had taught him, and it was an important and memorable moment!
"Xiao Cong, this is the last and most important lesson for the teacher, you have to remember it. ”
"Yes, Master, Master's teachings will never be forgotten. ”
Xiao Cong bent down and kowtowed, and then slowly sat up straight, with a respectful and reverent attitude.
Tiandao Weng nodded with satisfaction, and swept the dust again, his gaze seemed to shoot obliquely at the large old and quaint ceiling.
"Before the endless years, the chaos of heaven and earth, the beginning of Xuanhuang, the beginning of the Great Realm, the earliest group of creatures that appeared in this world, began to appear in the haze, this is the secret, it is inconvenient for the teacher to say more to you, please understand, but this one, you may know, that is the Demon Venerable, she is now sealed under the Xiao family, it is the secret that the Xiao family will always guard, and it can be regarded as the biggest secret of the Xuanzhen world! In the end, it was Xiao Qian, the ancestor of the Xiao family, who was able to gain insight into the secrets of heaven and earth, and used the power of the two realms of immortals and Buddhas to use the power of the two realms of the immortals and Buddhas plus the fortune of your Xiao family for generations to ambush and seal it with the Tiangang and Earth Array, which is why the Xiao family has not been able to cultivate so far, but has always been called a demon subduer.
Xiao Cong, having said so much, what the teacher wants to tell you is that when you return to the Xiao family, you must be extra careful, because the magic power in your body is too pure, so pure that even the teacher can't help but be frightened, I think this is a key, a key that can awaken the Demon Venerable and let her see the light of day again, of course, if the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, you should not blame yourself too much, alas, the troubled times are coming, you and I will ask for more blessings for the master and apprentice......"
"Master......"
Xiao Cong whimpered and couldn't help but shout, only now did he understand how risky the decision Master had made six years ago, this was a glimmer of life for him by raising the safety of the entire Xuanzhen Realm!
"For this matter, you don't have too much burden, what should come is always coming, what should be going is always going, how many people in this world can really carry the things clear, and who can say who was right and who was wrong in that incident back then......"
Tiandao Weng's voice decreased, almost inaudible, and then he regained his volume and continued:
"It doesn't matter if you risk the disapproval of the world, or ignore the thousands of people, in short, God has the virtue of a good life, and you can live a good life. ”
"But Master..."
Xiao Cong just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tiandao Weng Youyou,
"Xiao Cong, do you remember what the teacher taught you before? There must be a crisis in the vitality, and there must be vitality behind the crisis, the important thing is whether you have seen things comprehensively, even through it, when you see the whole thing through, maybe you will find that no one is absolutely innocent, no one is absolutely guilty, existence is reasonable, everything has a reason, everything is constant, and that's it. ”
"Master, the apprentice remembered ......"
"Maybe this is also the reason why the master will keep himself, or maybe there are many secrets that the master is difficult to talk about, forget it, just like the master said, what should come will come after all, and what should go will eventually go, since the master has said so, then I should live a good life. Xiao Cong thought in his heart.
"Xiao Cong, people will encounter many choices in their lives, and you are the same, if one day, you cultivate to reach the heavenly realm, open this bag, there is another thing that the teacher will explain to you. ”
As he spoke, Tiandao Weng freed up a hand and handed over a delicate brocade bag and a white jade-like thing to Xiao Cong's hand, Xiao Cong took it, his gaze only stayed on the brocade bag for a moment, and then shifted to the jade-like thing next to him, this thing was crystal clear but simple and unpretentious, it seemed to exude a strange magic that attracted him deeply, and he asked softly while pondering over and over in his hand:
"Master, what is this?"
"This is a keel, is for the teacher many years ago with a dragon body refining, this thing has been with the teacher for many years, and the teacher has a deep origin, today delivered to you, one can protect you in the future, the other is also a thought left to you by the teacher, you are good to collect. ”
"Master, this ......"
"Don't shirk it, this thing will be of great use to you in the future, and you must always keep it with you!"
Tiandao Weng looked at him steadily, and said to Xiao Cong in an almost commanding tone, Xiao Cong was looked at by Tiandao Weng so fiercely, he couldn't help but bow his head gloomily, and carefully picked up the bag and keel.
"Besides, there are a few mantras for the teacher, you listen well. ”
Xiao Cong nodded vigorously, and heard Tiandao Weng slowly read:
"Emperor Xuanhuang in the East Star and West Leng, Yuwen in the South, Ouyang in the North, Xiao Shi sits in the west, Murong looks southeast, and only sighs that the South Palace is alone, Zhuge in the northwest, and the southwest and east. ”
"On the first floor, three pavilions and hundreds of flowers are deep, four palaces and five towers are looking for the end of the wilderness, seven sects and eight courtyards Bodhi ancient trees, ten doors and nine mansions are lonely and immortal. ”
"Immortal sorrowful stream, drowning dragon abyss, ten thousand peaks slanting to the sky, Yulan Mountain burns unquenchable flames, mourning gang has not survived since ancient times, six valleys, reincarnation river, heaven and earth, wild desire hermitage, the bitter sea is boundless, and turning back is the shore. ”
"The first two paragraphs are a general outline of the power of the famous families and sects in the Xuanzhen Realm, there are things you know and there are things you don't know, but you have to remember that any of the clans in this are easy to provoke, especially the Immortal Tomb and the Chaos Tower, which have not reached the top of the Heavenly Realm, so avoid them if you can. The latter paragraph is the general outline of the ten forbidden places in the Xuanzhen realm, for the teacher's hope, these ten places, you should not set foot in it for the rest of your life, if you are really forced to do so, then it is really resigned to fate and ask for more blessings, alas, these teachers originally did not want to tell you, but now it is different, the road ahead is unpredictable, there are many auspicious and less, if you really want to face it, then face it calmly......"
As he spoke, Tiandao Weng couldn't help but pat Xiao Cong's shoulder, there was sadness in his eyes, there was a sigh, there seemed to be some other unknown things, Xiao Cong raised his head, looked at each other, and for a while, Tiandao Weng withdrew his hand, Xiao Cong muttered and said:
"Master, I remember. ”
So the master and apprentice were silent for a while, until Tiandao Weng said softly:
"Alright, it's not too early, go pack your things, and don't forget to bring the Ice Heart Recipe. ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Xiao Cong got up, bowed to Tiandao Weng, just turned his head, but saw a person bypassing the entrance wall of Tiandaoxuan, walking towards the main hall, this person is well-dressed, dignified, extraordinary, walking steadily, not in a hurry, he was stunned for a long time, and blurted out a sentence of "father".
This person is the current head of the Xiao family, and he is also the person Xiao Cong has been concerned about day and night for ten years - Xiao Tianyu.
