Chapter 14 Heartbreaking
Before Chen Xi ascended to the fourth stone step, he was thinking about what Huang Feibo had said before. In order to discover the secret of Shen Teng, all the families and forces and even the people of other sects sent the children of the young generation of leaders to the Little Mantian Sect and became students of the Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect of the Little Mantian Sect.
And among them, there are real geniuses who have cultivated to a very high level.
Therefore, Chen Xi speculated that the imperial capital city was only afraid of more chaos. If nothing else, it seems that the Holy Emperor, who is known as the most benevolent and virtuous in the 1,300 years since the founding of the Great Chu State, has reached his final moment. Otherwise, those Holy Emperors would not be so presumptuous.
However, at this time, why didn't the national teacher, who had a close relationship with the Holy Emperor and had the power to turn the tide, send someone here?
These thoughts were quickly put aside by Chen Xi, because these things were far away from him. He didn't want to get involved in such a huge whirlpool, he just wanted to find out the culprit back then. Who was the murderer who imprisoned his parents and almost killed all the children in his family? In the past 10 years, his parents must have been suffering from forced confessions every day, and they may have run out of gas.
According to Chen Xi's own recollections, nine times out of ten, the tragedy of that year was actually inseparable from those big families in the imperial capital. His father was a highly respected man and his cultivation was amazing, and if he hadn't touched the secrets of some big people, his father would not have been betrayed. Although Chen Xi was young at that time, he had a mature soul, so other children couldn't remember anything at all when they were three or four years old, but he remembered a lot.
He remembered that he was called the old Ninth Master of Ghost Nine and fled on his back, and he remembered the swordsmen in black robes when he fled.
Those people are not from the Little Mantian Sect.
But most of the people who slaughtered his family were those black-clothed swordsmen.
What is certain now is that it must have been people within the Little Mantian Sect back then, or even people close to his father's cronies who attracted those black-clothed swordsmen, and then that cronie attacked his father.
Chen Xi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
In the past three hundred days, he has finally entered the Fortune Transformation Tower, and he must succeed.
In order to hide the true Inner Strength of the Great Mantian Sect that had been consolidated by his father Pei Yuan in his body early on, he devoted himself to the Seven Yang Valley to learn the arts, and used the exercises of the Seven Yang Valley to hide the Great Mantian Sect Inner Strength Mind Method in his body. This qiē was all to conceal himself, because once the power of the Great Mantian Sect Great Opening Extreme Pei Yuan in his body was detected, he would immediately be hunted down by those who were hiding in the shadows.
The current Chen Xi's cultivation is still too weak.
powerful
Chen Xi told himself in his heart that the only way to succeed was to make himself stronger. Powerful enough to be fearless of any enemy.
Four-story tower.
Chen Xi knew very well that if he could climb the four-story tower, he would inevitably attract the attention of the big people of the Little Mantian Sect, and he would be able to enter the Inner Sect justifiably. Only when you arrive in the inner sect will you come into contact with the secret that no one knows.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi calmed down and began to step up the tower.
The moment his left foot stepped onto the stone steps, the surroundings instantly became dark.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists.
He took a step forward and ascended the second step.
The darkness in front of him grew thicker and thicker, and he could not see anything, so he could only walk with his feet up by feeling. It was as if he had entered an unknown dimension, where there was nothing but darkness. It was so dark that he couldn't even look down and couldn't see his body. He tentatively raised his hands in front of his eyes, but he still couldn't see them.
This is...... The feeling of being blind.
Just as Chen Xi stepped up the third step, his heart tightened.
He saw a man.
A man sitting there with his back to him, unable to see what kind of clothes he was wearing or his face. It was just a vague silhouette, and the clothes on the body seemed to be wide, but even the color was unrecognizable. The man sat on the stone steps, facing away from Chen Xi in a very awkward posture.
You must know that when a normal person sits on a stone step, he must be sitting at a higher level, and his legs and feet are at a lower level. But this person is completely the opposite, as if he was deliberately sitting uncomfortably like this in order not to let Chen Xi see his true face.
"You're looking for me. ”
The man spoke, and his voice was hoarse, not even like a human voice.
"Who are you?"
Chen Xi subconsciously pulled out the flat burden behind him, but found that no matter how much he groped, he couldn't touch the flat burden tied to his back. He was shocked, could it be that the flat burden had been taken away without God knowing?
After he asked, he was on full alert. The scene was very strange now, and it was obviously dark and nothing could be seen. But Chen Xi could see a man sitting on the stone steps, this man didn't look back, but asked Chen Xi...... Are you looking for me?
"Who am I?"
The man with his back to Chen Xi suddenly laughed: "You have been looking for me for ten years, and you want to kill me for ten years, but now you see me and ask me who I am? It's just that you have always been afraid of me in your heart, so you don't dare to admit it. ”
Chen Xi was shocked!
This person turned out to be the murderer he had been chasing for ten years?!
In the next second, Chen Xi almost blurted out why did you betray my father back then!
......
......
When this sentence was almost spoken, Chen Xi forcibly held back. He bit his lip and pressed harder. The pain of his lips rupturing made him feel a little more sober, and the sweet smell of blood made him calmer and calmer.
He looked at the man's back and was silent for a few moments.
"You're not him. ”
Chen Xi replied.
"Oh?"
The man with his back to Chen Xi seemed to smile: "You have been trying to find me for ten years, kill me to avenge your parents, and now I am in front of you, and it is facing away from you, if you made a move before, you may not have a chance, but you didn't make a move...... Do you want to know the truth about the past? Do you want to know why someone betrayed your father? You can ask me, since I appeared in front of you, I am willing to talk to you, and if there is anything you don't understand, please ask. ”
Chen Xi's heart was shocked, but he tried his best to keep himself from coming out.
"You are not my enemy. ”
Chen Xi shook his head: "My enemy is a woman, and you are a man. My parents were killed by the enemy, and no one betrayed them. You don't need to test me for anything...... If I'm not mistaken, you're not even a person, you're just an imaginary thing. ”
"Huh?"
The man was obviously taken aback, and then suddenly stood up, but still did not turn around: "If you can guess this, don't you know that I am an illusion of what you think in your heart? I'm the enemy you think you have, so why should you deceive yourself?"
Wrong!
After listening to this man's words, Chen Xi bit the tip of his tongue vigorously.
Now that this qiē is not right, Chen Xi calmed himself down even more.
The stone steps are a test, and from the beginning of climbing the second-story tower, Chen Xi has determined that the stone steps are a test of the potential of those who climb the tower. But this time, a person appeared on the stone steps, and Chen Xi knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what this man said. He is the enemy he fantasizes about, a vague faceless enemy.
He didn't turn around because Chen Xi had never thought about what his enemy looked like in his fantasies again and again.
This is not a test, this is a temptation!
After Chen Xi calmed down, he immediately determined one thing, the qiē he was facing now was definitely not the test of the stone steps, but someone had changed the power of the stone steps and allowed himself to enter an illusory environment. This person is testing himself, trying to know what is going on in his heart.
Chen Xi kept thinking in his heart, and he became more and more sure that someone was already doubting himself.
"I haven't seen my enemy, but I know that it was a woman who killed my parents. So you're not what I'm thinking at all, what the hell are you?"
Chen Xi asked, then closed his eyes.
He began to force himself to change his mind, to face the almost unbearable urge to tell the truth. At this time, not only did he have a man in front of him with his back to him, but there was also an invisible force in his mind that constantly forced him to speak his true thoughts.
What Chen Xi wants to resist this time...... It's yourself.
Chen Xi knows one thing very clearly, once he can't pass this level, he is afraid that all future plans will end early. Even, he will be killed by the enemy the moment he leaves the Fortune Tower. The enemy back then was so fierce and brutal, but whenever Chen Xi showed some flaws, that person could immediately detect it.
breathe
Chen Xi let his breathing become long.
Overcome
Myself
......
......
Little Mantian Sect
Inner Sect
In a stone pavilion, two old men in black robes stood side by side. There was a picture in front of the two of them, it was Chen Xi who was on the stone steps leading to the four-story tower.
"Is it the evil seed that escaped back then?"
One of the tall, thin-looking old men asked.
The other black-robed old man looked shorter and slightly bloated. He stared at Chen Xi carefully, as if he wanted to see through Chen Xi's heart.
For the time being, it is uncertain, but the person he has conjured up in his heart now does not seem to coincide with the person who participated in that incident back then, just a vague back. From this back, it is still uncertain whether he is the evil seed that Ghost Jiu rescued back then. ”
The tall and thin old man frowned: "This kind of thing, after all, it is better to kill the wrong person than let it go, and it is better to kill the wrong person, if you let it go...... Who knows what kind of trouble will be involved? The incident involved so much back then that it was not at all something that you and I could control. In case the master behind us is lured out, you and I are only afraid that there will be no place to bury you. ”
"Bear with me for now. ”
The fat old man said: "This son has now been noticed by everyone, if he dies in an unknown way, it is difficult to guarantee that no trace will be detected." ”
The two of them were silent for a moment, and suddenly their faces changed at the same time.
The picture in front of them, which was almost still before, changed, and Chen Xi, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man with his back to him: "What are you? Why are you in my heart? Could it be that there was more than one person who killed my parents back then? Are you that woman's accomplice?"
After Chen Xi said this, something happened that surprised the two old men.
The vague back gradually became clear, and the figure quietly changed, from the back of a man to the back of a wonderful woman. The woman was wearing a dark green dress, and she should not be very old when she looked at the straightness of her back. But she still hasn't looked back, she can only see this.
"It's you!"
In the picture, Chen Xi obviously became excited, reaching behind his back and groping for his flat shoulder.
The tall and thin old man looked at the short and fat old man: "What's going on?
"No way. ”
The short and fat old man shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "My heart control technique will never be able to control a young man who has only broken through the void, even if he is ten times stronger than his cultivation, he may not be able to withstand it." The reason why that person has changed is that this young man has too many doubts in his heart. He was very confused about his background and even his hatred of himself, he didn't know whether his enemies were one or several, but the back of this woman was so clear that he had seen it before. ”
"Isn't it the evil seed back then?"
The tall and thin man asked.
"Nine times out of ten, it's not. ”
The short and fat old man said: "I'm still a little sure, how can he be so young, how can he deceive my heart trick?"
The tall and thin old man also knew that the Xuanqi of the Heart Enhancement Technique was powerful, so he nodded: "It seems that he is also a guy with a deep hatred of blood, such a person is the most annoying." It's hard to steal a living, and what is worse than pretending to be confused to live? I have to take revenge...... Revenge and revenge are mostly to pay for yourself. ”
The short and fat old man said: "I have to withdraw the heart, otherwise it will be noticed after a long time." ”
The tall and thin old man thought for a while and said, "The second son's potential is amazing, and he will enter the inner sect to practice in the near future. When the time comes, you and I will do our best to do his teaching, and then test and tempt. If it weren't really the evil seed back then, if you temper this son well, you might be able to create a character who can really enter the eyes of adults. ”
"Hmm"
The short and fat old man hummed, waved his hand, and the picture in front of him disappeared.
At the same time, Chen Xi, who was in the change tower, shook violently, almost collapsed and fainted. He looked at the world that was gradually brightening, and his heart palpitated.
