Looking at the confused look on Dumb's face, the old man sighed helplessly and said, "Dumb, you don't understand now because you haven't found yourself yet, and when you really find yourself, you will understand what I said today." And this booklet and the broken sword will help you, I hope you put it away. ”

Dumb heard this, but said hurriedly: "No, old Daoist, these things are all Xuanzong's things, I can't ask for them." ”

When the old man heard this, he sighed lightly and said: "These things are the relics of Xuanzong, and they are also the master's entrustment, but if they continue to be placed in the box and under the floor, they are just a book of waste paper and a broken sword. In the past, the successive sect masters of Xuanzong relied on Haoran righteousness and the Nine Heavens Xuanjian to practice chivalry and righteousness, and support the right path, I hope you can also rely on these two things in the future to kill demons and protect the common people, don't live up to them and the hopes of the previous generations of Xuanzong sect masters. ”

Seeing this, Xuanqing on the side hurriedly said: "Dumb, what are you still doing stupidly, why don't you put away the secret book and the divine sword quickly!" Do you dislike them for being worn and old, and don't want them? ”

"No, no......" Dumb had no choice but to put away the book and the divine sword, and then nodded: "Old Daoist, although I don't understand what you're talking about, I can promise you that if there is anything that Xuanzong can use in the future, I will definitely go all out." ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded slightly, his face showed a look of relief, and then said: "Dumb, don't worry, maybe you don't understand it now, but one day in the future, you will understand!" At that time, I hope you can remember what you promised me, help me continue the Xuanzong lineage, and hope that you can use the Xuanzong Sword in your hand to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the world! ”

Dumb nodded, a determined look on his face.

At this time, the old man stretched out his hand to pull Xuanqing closer, and then said: "Dumb, Xuanqing is the child I picked up at the edge of the village, he also became an orphan because of the war, and he is also the only apprentice I accepted, originally, I hope that after I die, he can continue to undertake my mission, and continue to wait for Xuanzong's hope to appear here." But now it seems that there is no longer such a need! I know, I'm no longer good, I hope that after I die, you can take good care of Xuanqing for me! ”

Dumb looked at Xuanqing on the side, nodded and said, "Well, I know, I have always regarded Xiaoqing as my own brother, I will take good care of him, old Taoist, you can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, the old man's eyes showed a look of relief, and he had no worries in his heart, and then suddenly raised his head and said in a long voice: "Master...... Did you see that? I have waited, I have finally waited for the hope of our Xuanzong, Xuanming, the thirty-first generation disciple of Xuanzong, I would like to thank the ancestors of Xuanzong for their blessings, and today the disciple has finally completed the task...... Master...... I'm going to come down with you! With that, the old man straightened up, a flash of gray flashed in his eyes, and then closed his eyes forever.

Seeing this, Xuanqing on the side suddenly threw himself into the old man's arms and couldn't cry. "Master, don't leave Xiaoqing, master, master...... I'll listen to you from now on...... Master, don't leave me......"

At this time, a trace of grief flashed in Dumb's eyes, and then he kowtowed to the old man and said, "Old Daoist, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, rest in peace!" ”

Then, Dumb hugged Xuanqing in his arms and comforted: "Xiaoqing, don't do this, the old Taoist is gone, don't torture yourself." ”

After crying for a while, Xuan Qing suddenly raised his head and said, "Dumb brother, I know, although the master is dead, his wish has been fulfilled, and he can be regarded as leaving with peace of mind." I hope you can help the revival of Xuanzong in the future, and I will definitely support you! ”

Hearing this, Dumb nodded and said, "Okay, then let's find a suitable place to bury the old Taoist first." ”

Xuanqing said at this time: "No need, dumb brother, the master has already arranged the future before leaving, at the back of the Taoist temple, the master has already prepared his sarcophagus, we just need to put the master in the sarcophagus and bury it in the ground." The grave of the master is also behind, in this way, the master and the ancestor can also be neighbors, and they will not be lonely in the future. ”

Subsequently, Xuanqing rearranged the old man, and then with the help of Dumb, placed the old man's body in the sarcophagus in the open space behind the Taoist temple, and then buried it in the ground.

Dumb originally planned to erect a monument for the old man, but Xuanqing said that the heads of Xuanzong did not erect a monument for themselves, because Xuanzong has always taken it as his responsibility to protect the common people in the world, but he did not want to reciprocate, and the successive sect masters were also set up by the descendants of the sect after their deaths.

Subsequently, Dumb erected a wordless tablet prepared by Xuanqing in advance on the old man's grave, and the two mourned silently for a while before slowly returning to the Taoist temple.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Dumb asked: "Xiaoqing, you can leave here with me, move to my house, so that I can take care of you conveniently......"

But before Dumb finished speaking, Xuanqing shook his head and said: "No, Dumb brother, this Taoist temple is the hard work of the master and the ancestor, and it is also a little hope of Xuanzong, as the eldest disciple of the thirty-second generation of Xuanzong, I must not leave here, I want to guard the master and the ancestor, and guard the hope of Xuanzong!" ”

Dumb heard this, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and then said helplessly: "Okay, since this is the case, then you take care of yourself, I will often come to see you, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the village to find me at any time." ”

When Xuan Qing heard this, there was a strange look in his eyes, and then he asked, "Brother Dumb, did you understand what the master said before leaving?" He said that you are the hope of my Xuanzong, but I ......"

At this time, Dumb shook his head and said: "No, no, no, Xiaoqing, at that time, the old Taoist was at the last moment, and I couldn't bear to disappoint him, so I said that, but if you look at me, I am an ordinary person, where is the hope?" You are the eldest disciple of the thirty-second generation of Xuanzong, and you are the hope of Xuanzong! ”

Without waiting for Dumb to finish speaking, Xuanqing showed an excited look on his face and said, "No, Dumb brother, the master will never lie to people, he said that you are, you are sure!" In the future, the revival of Xuanzong depends on you, and I will do my best to help you! Then, Xuanqing took the long wooden box and put it in front of Dumb, and said, "Brother Dumb, the things in this wooden box were handed over to you by the master before leaving, now, you can take him away." ”

At this time, Dumb looked confused and said, "No, these things belong to Xuanzong, and I can't take them away." ”

Seeing this, Xuanqing said urgently: "You...... Are you going to break your own oath? You promised the master to take on the great cause of reviving Xuanzong, and now you don't want these things, what do you mean? Do you want to go back on it? ”

Seeing Xuanqing's anxious appearance, Dumb couldn't bear it, and then he could only sigh helplessly, and said: "Xiaoqing, don't worry, I won't regret it, it's just that my cheats and broken sword, I carry it with me, it's really inconvenient." Otherwise, you can put this wooden box in the Taoist temple, and if I have time, I will naturally come back here to study. ”

When Xuan Qing heard this, he nodded: "Okay, then you must come!" ”

Dumb nodded and said, "Well, I must come!" Okay, Xiaoqing, it's not too early now, I'm going back, you take good care of yourself, I'll come to see you in a few days! ”

Xuan Qing snorted and said, "Okay, dumb brother, you must come!" ”

Afterwards, Dumb said goodbye to Xuanqing and returned to the village along the same road alone. But as soon as I got off the mountain, I saw Xiaohu waiting anxiously at the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing this, Dumb smiled and said, "Xiaohu, why are you here?" I'm sorry today, Uncle Dumb, I didn't pick fruit for you. ”

Xiaohu heard Dumb's voice, hurriedly came along the path, and the moment he saw Dumb, Xiaohu threw himself directly into Dumb's arms, his eyes were red, and he said: "Uncle Dumb, it's not good, there are a lot of bad people in the village, they have killed a lot of people, many people, Mom was also killed by them, and now, they are in your house......"

Hearing this, without waiting for Xiaohu to finish speaking, Dumb's face suddenly changed, and he comforted: "Okay, Xiaohu is not afraid, Uncle Dumb will go back and avenge you!" Then, Dumb picked up Xiaohu, held the firewood knife in his right hand, and rushed back towards the village.

At this time, the village was already in chaos, everyone was driven to the door of Dumb's house, and several people in the village had died at the door of Dumb's house, and at this time, a young man in black armor was standing at the door of Dumb's house, and behind the young man, there were no less than two hundred black-clothed masters, all of whom were carrying swords on their backs, wearing black clothes, and embroidered with a sword-shaped sign on their sleeves.

At this moment, the black-clothed man led by him smiled faintly and said, "Fairy Mu, I think you should obediently hand over that kid from Li Ling, otherwise, everyone in this village will die!" At the end, the man's voice became unusually cold.

Then, a woman slowly walked out of the room, it was Mu Shengnan. "Hua Hanyue, I didn't expect that you, a fart worm, actually followed here! Hmph, but Brother Li has already left, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword! With that, Muhammad had already placed the red Hidden Blade across his chest.

It turned out that it was Hua Hanyue who led people to break into the ordinary village, when the Jade Girl Peak, Hua Hanyue did not kill Li Ling, and she was not happy in her heart, but it was because of Hua Wuxi's face, so she didn't have a seizure. Now, Hua Hanyue also took advantage of Hua Wuxi's retreat to dare to come out to find Li Ling's bad luck.

Hua Hanyue looked at Mu Shengnan opposite, and said with a smile: "Fairy Mu, there was no deep hatred between us, but today, that kid Li Ling is sure to die." At the beginning of the Jade Girl Peak Heartless City, that kid survived and saved his life. But do you think that if you hide here, this son will not be able to find you? Hmph, that's ridiculous! Now Kyushu is in the hands of my father, and the world is so big that there is no place for you. I advise you to hand over Li Ling obediently, and this son will not be embarrassed by you! ”

When Mu Shengnan heard this, he sneered and said, "There is a lot of nonsense, if you have the ability, come here!" ”

Hearing this, Hua Hanyue sneered and said, "Mu Shengnan, don't be ashamed, if I guessed correctly, you should have suffered internal injuries, otherwise, when I killed those villagers just now, you should have made a move." But alas, even if you make a move, you won't be my opponent! After that, I saw Hua Hanyue whistling lightly, but I saw seventy-two black-clothed people flash out from behind Hua Hanyue in an instant.

"Hmph, these seventy-two earth demons were refined by my father's own hands, even if it is Li Ling, it is impossible to defeat it, just rely on you, it is simply looking for death!" Hua Hanyue said angrily.
