"President Chu, the ancestor has always disliked being disturbed, so I won't go in!"

After staying at Ximen's house for a few days and enjoying all the warm hospitality, Ximen Po finally led Chu Ming to an ancient tower on the top of the mountain today.

"President Chu, everything is entrusted to you, if you can really cure the ancestor, I, Ximenpo, swear that as long as I am alive for a day, I will never be an enemy of the Mercenary Guild!"

With this guarantee from the head of the Simon family, you have to do your best!

Knowing the intricate relationship within the Ximen family, Chu Ming's internal mustard in his heart has been reduced a lot, and now that Ximen Po has made a clear statement, he will not have any reservations.

Pushing open the gate of the ancient tower, the early morning sun poured in, reflecting an old back.

The old man, dressed in gray, sat in front of an ink painting on the wall that looked old.

Chu Feng closed the door with his backhand, and said respectfully: "Chu Ming has seen his predecessors!" ”

The old man didn't look back, nodded lightly in response, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "How is this painting?" ”

Chu Ming raised his head and looked carefully, the painting is not fine, and the content is very simple, on the galloping river, a high-spirited man is stepping on the water and dancing a sword, and there is a painting boat floating not far away, and a woman is standing on the deck in full costume. Men and women don't even meet their eyes, but they are naturally full of affection.

The outline of the characters in the painting is not obvious, and it is impossible to see the specific appearance at all, but intuition tells Chu Ming that the man in the painting is the Ximen Ancestor in front of him.

"This female senior...... Is it your confidante? ”

Chu Ming didn't answer positively, he knew that what the old man wanted to see was not his ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting.

"It used to be—but at that time, I was bent on pursuing martial arts, and I failed her long-cherished love!"

Remembering this painting every day, it shows that the old man has affection in his heart, but once he loses something, he can never get it back.

"This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time!"

Chu Ming felt it, but the old man's body trembled violently when he heard this.

"This can be recalled...... It's just that at that time...... Well said! I can't imagine that I, Ximen Jingcheng, have lived for such a long time, and I can't see it thoroughly without you! ”

The old man finally turned around, and what appeared in front of Chu Ming's eyes was an old face full of wrinkles and like dead tree bark.

In order to achieve a certain level of cultivation, it is not a fantasy to have an eternal appearance, with the strength of an old man, it is easy to restore the appearance of his youth, but he let the years leave so many nicks on his face, perhaps he wants to use this way to repent of his youthful obsession.

"I heard that you cured the Jiang Fei Worm?"

Flying insects? Hearing the old man's words, Chu Ming was stunned at first, and after reacting, he nodded with a smile. Jiang Feilong, the ancestor of the Jiang family, was injured in the same origin as Old Lady Lu, and he was indeed cured by him not long ago.

The Ximen family and the Jiang family had a lot of trouble before, could it be that the crux of the problem was actually in these two ancestors?

"I've been angry with that old thing for so many years, and the two families have been fighting non-stop, but I didn't expect that in the end, you need to heal the injury, and the grievances and grievances will be resolved because of you, maybe there is really providence in the dark......"

Obviously, Chu Ming guessed correctly, but he didn't know how to ask about it, and there was no need for him to find out the grievances between the two families.

After sighing for a while, the old man gradually sat up straight, and said in a condensed voice: "Come on, boy, let me see how powerful your medical skills are!" ”

This old man in his twilight years exuded a domineering spirit of an old man, which made Chu Ming can't help but admire, and his expression became solemn.

"Senior, wait a minute, my soul power is going to enter your sea of knowledge to check, remember not to resist!"

Knowing the sea is the most fragile lifeblood of a warrior, allowing the soul power of outsiders to enter, which is no different from tying one's hands and feet to be slaughtered by others. The old man didn't show resistance when he heard this, but Yun Danfeng nodded lightly, this courage alone is not something ordinary people can have.

After getting ready, Chu Feng released a wisp of soul power, entered the old man's sea of consciousness unimpeded, and quickly discovered the problem with just one glance.

The old man's Divine Soul Yuan Infant was mixed with a large amount of Yin and Cold Black Qi, and other doctors would definitely be helpless about it, but for Chu Ming, it was a trivial matter, and he only needed to use the Nine Yin Qi to absorb these Yin and Cold energy.

Directly infiltrating the Nine Yin Qi into the Old Man's Sea of Consciousness would definitely be detected by him, so Chu Ming planned to use another method to solve it, that is, to bring those black qi back to his Sea of Consciousness and then absorb it.

This move is also risky for Chu Ming, if these black qi are too fierce and domineering, it is not impossible to inflict irreparable heavy damage on his soul primordial infant as soon as he enters the sea of knowledge.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Ming still decided to give it a try, firstly, he had enough confidence in the Nine Shadows Yin Qi, and secondly, he planned to do it in stages, so that the risk could be controlled to the minimum.

As soon as he decided, Chu Ming immediately controlled the soul power that poured into the old man's sea of knowledge and slowly approached those black qi, and after continuous traction, he wrapped a small wisp of it and pulled it back to his sea of knowledge, and then immediately absorbed it with the nine yin qi.

Feasible!

After going back and forth like this five or six times, about one-tenth of the black qi on the old man's soul primordial infant was cleared, and Chu Ming also stopped at this time.

Those black qi are too domineering, Rao has the Nine Shadows Yin Qi constantly absorbing, and there are Nine Shadows Fire to protect the body, Chu Ming still feels cold all over his body, and it is estimated that he will not be able to bear it if he continues.

"Senior, part of the black qi in your sea has been cleared, and the rest has to be taken slowly!"

The old man nodded when he heard this, and said, "Although I don't know what method you use, since you dare to incorporate this soul-devouring death qi into your own soul, there must be a way to resolve it, but the old man still has to advise, don't hurt yourself, this is a heartfelt word!" ”

The old man's abrupt care made Chu Ming, who was full of doubts, a little at a loss for a while.

"Don't you think it's hypocritical that we're just meeting for the first time?" As if seeing the suspicion in Chu Ming's heart, the old man smiled faintly and said: "Based on your previous two sentences, it shows that you are not only a person in temperament, but also more transparent than my old man!" You are willing to take the risk to heal my wounds, how can the old man be the kind of person who does not understand people's hearts? ”

The old man's expression was sincere, and Chu Ming still felt warm even if he didn't believe it.

"Senior, you said that those energies are called Soul Eater? Sounds like a lot of fun? ”

"You don't even know what it is, so you dare to bring it to your own sea?" The old man was speechless, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know whether to say that you are a master of art and bold...... Or should I say you tiger! Soul devouring and death qi is an extremely yin and evil energy, so to enter the martial arts, you need to stay in a place where the yin qi is extremely heavy all year round, usually a cemetery, absorbing the remnants of the dead corpse and the yin qi emitted every day, and refining it for your own use. ”

Such an evil door! No wonder I not only felt cold before, but also vaguely seemed to have resentment, and the source of my love was here!

"Then how did the seniors get this thing?"

"It's a long story, but in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with the guys who ambushed you on the river that day!"

"Temple!"

Chu Ming was shocked.

"Yes, Temple! There is a group of people in the temple, and it is this soul-devouring death qi that cultivates, and my injury was caused by fighting one of them in the early years! ”

How many years ago did that happen? Does it mean that this temple has been around for a day or two?

"Although I don't know why you provoked the Divine Temple, I want to remind you that their power in Zhongzhou is only the tip of the iceberg, the real base camp is in Nanyuan, and the strength is far from as simple as you imagined, you must be more careful!"

"Thank you senior, I'll pay attention!"

Chu Ming really didn't expect that the main force of the temple, which had been a disaster in Zhongzhou, would be in Nanyuan, and when he left the ancient tower and returned to Zhuangzi, Ximen Huan, who had been waiting for a long time, brought a news that shocked him even more.

"Huangfu Yi? Is it really him? ”

Ximen Huan nodded and said, "He thinks that his deeds are well hidden, but he underestimates my Ximen family too much!" On the day of our attack, he appeared near the Ziyun River, there was a motive, there was time, it could not be a coincidence! So my father immediately sent someone to interrogate the second uncle, and blew up that the person who colluded with him to set up an ambush was Huangfu Yi! ”

I see! Huangfu is easy to set up an ambush, and Ximen Zan removed the protection of Ximen's family around, which is really good!

"I really can't imagine that the famous Blazing Dean would collude with the Divine Temple!" Nangong Junsheng on the side couldn't help but sigh.

"Not collusion!"

Chu Ming and Ximen Huan spoke in unison.

No? Nangong Junsheng was stunned, then his face changed greatly, and he said, "Could it be that he is a person from the temple?" How is this possible! ”

"Nothing is impossible!" Chu Ming exhaled lightly and said, "The status of the Seven Killings in the Divine Temple should not be low, if it is cooperation, the two sides are not equal at all, this Emperor Fu Yi is not only a person from the Divine Temple, but also by no means an ordinary pawn." Merely...... His hatred for me is also real, and it should have nothing to do with his identity as a person in the temple, and I still don't understand why......"

Ximen Huan seemed to be quite interested when he heard this, and asked: "Do you need us to help you analyze and analyze, the bystanders are clear, maybe they can give you some inspiration." ”

"How?" Chu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't dealt with him at all before the martial arts, and he can't fight with all the forces in East Lake, and all these people under my command have been investigated." ”

"There is no hatred in this world for no reason, it must be that you have done something to annoy him, or that you have offended someone who is very important to him."

Chu Ming had also thought about this, but he didn't know where the source was when he thought about it.

What happened before that? killed Shangguan Hao and Ling Qian'er, cleaned up the flower thief Dongji brothers, and Han Yue, who coveted his combat skills.

Han Yue?

Chu Feng suddenly stood up from his chair, and he suddenly remembered that among the people who participated in the martial arts meeting in the Blazing Flame Academy was a man named Han Qian...... Han Qian, Han Yue...... This is not a coincidence!

"Brother Simon, I'm tired of helping to check someone!"

Ximen Huan smiled faintly and nodded: "It seems that you really thought of something, let's say, who to check?" ”

"Blazing Academy, Han Qian!"

Intuition told Chu Ming that he should have found the right direction.
