Hearing that Xuan Zhenzi asked me to kneel, I knew that what he was going to explain next must be very important, and suddenly my knees weakened and I knelt in front of him.

Xuan Zhenzi stretched out his hand, put it on my head again, and said slowly,

"You have been with me for five years, although you have been laying the foundation for five years, but I have taught you a lot of practical things, as long as you can calm down and settle down, and spend a few more years pondering, you may not be able to become a powerful cultivator in the future. But ......"

His words changed, and his tone became extremely serious,

"You and I don't have the name of master and apprentice, and when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you are not allowed to swagger around under my name, nor can you casually tell outsiders that you were taught by me, can you do this?"

I gritted my teeth and said aggrievedly, "Got it." ”

Xuan Zhenzi said again, "The second point is that you have a special background, and you have the family mission of the Eight Veins on your shoulders, if it is not necessary, try not to tell outsiders about your birth origin, so as not to set yourself on fire, this should also be remembered." ”

I still nodded, indicating that I had made a note of it.

In fact, even if Xuan Zhenzi doesn't say it, I also realize that my life experience is more special, just the yin jade pendant left by my mother is likely to attract the covetousness of others, and I know the truth that wealth is not exposed.

"And the most important thing."

Xuan Zhenzi's fingers on my head suddenly forced, bringing me some tingling sensation, his eyes were cold, and he said word by word,

"I taught you those skills, in order to let you protect yourself, in the future you must not be reckless, if I let me know that you have entered the evil way, I will definitely find you in person, and take back all the things given to you one by one, you must remember this!"

He looked down at me with a stern look in his eyes that he had never seen before.

I trembled, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and choked up, "Master, don't worry, I will be a good person and never live up to your expectations of me." ”

It's been five years of getting along, even if the stone can be hot, I have long regarded Xuan Zhenzi as my closest person, hearing these parting words, my heart is extremely uncomfortable, and I can't help but ask,

"After that...... Can we say goodbye? ”

"The rivers and lakes are far away, as long as there is fate, you can naturally see you again, I just hope that you can be mature at that time, don't cry like this anymore."

Xuan Zhenzi silently retracted his hand, sighed, and said the last sentence of explanation to me, asking me to "do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so that I can do it myself".

After saying that, he left, and walked so resolutely that he refused to even turn his head.

I looked lonely, and kept kneeling there, looking at the back of Xuan Zhenzi who was constantly moving away, my nose was sour, and my heart became empty.

"Brother Dao, wait for me!"

Master Mingtong also finished explaining the matter, shouted at Xuan Zhenzi's back, and was just about to catch up, as if he remembered something, he turned his head again, and a kind smile appeared on his kind face,

"Zhou Xuan, you and my stupid apprentice have a good fate, there will definitely be a time to see each other again in the future, and I will ask you to take care of it when the time comes."

I nodded vigorously, "Master rest assured, Huizhen and I hit it off at first sight, just like brothers, and we don't need to say these unfamiliar words." ”

"Good good, good ......"

Master Mingtong tapped me three times on the back of the head, leaving an inexplicable smile, and also strode around and chased in the direction where Gen Mako had left.

The two old men quickly disappeared by the side of the village road, leaving me and Huizhen looking at each other, and I really couldn't understand what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.

After being silent for a while, Hui Zhen came up and helped me up and said,

"Zhou Xuan, let's go back to the village, my master said before leaving, he and the old Taoist master are going to do a very important thing, this matter has plagued him for most of his life, if you don't untie this knot, you won't feel at ease when you die, we are not capable enough, we are not qualified to contact these secrets, when we grow up, maybe there will be a chance to help them."

"Hmm."

I nodded dumbly and accompanied Huizhen back into the village.

The thick fog had cleared, and under the warm sun on the horizon, Hades Village had finally returned to its former tranquility.

It took Hui Zhen and me a lot of time to gather most of the scattered villagers, but fortunately there were no big casualties, except for a few who fell off the cliff due to fright and fell with broken arms and legs, most of the villagers survived.

The only thing that puzzled me was that Daddy Qin's family disappeared inexplicably.

At first, I thought they had hid in the woods out of fear, and I went to the woods with Hye-jin for a long time.

But after a whole day, I couldn't find a single human hair.

Just when Huizhen and I were anxious, we heard another surviving villager say, "The village chief's family has left, and I saw them taken away by a group of strangers." ”

Yes?

I was puzzled and asked the strangers where they came from, who had taken their family of three.

The villagers shook their heads in confusion, saying that they didn't know, those people were dressed strangely, and they weren't locals at first glance, especially the old man who took the lead, who was very tall and mighty, and even his hair was red......

What!

Hearing this, Huizhen and I couldn't help but be stunned.

In this way, Daddy Qin's family was "kidnapped" by the old man surnamed Ji, but it is so decent, why did this old thing take away this family?

I couldn't figure out this question, but in the end Huizhen guessed the reason,

"Zhou Xuan, didn't the old Taoist master say that the Qin family is also the queen of the eight veins, and Qin Ni is the same as you, they are all descendants of the eight veins, maybe it is for this reason that the old man surnamed Ji has his eyes on them."

I said blankly, "This old man surnamed Ji is Xuan Zhenzi's sworn enemy, and half of the affairs of Hadesgou were planned by him, what kind of treatment will Daddy Qin's family of three be treated if they fall into his hands?" ”

Hui Zhen couldn't answer, and said with a sad face,

"Our ability is too weak, and we are not qualified to intervene in this kind of thing at all, but I have a hunch that maybe one day in the future, we will meet Qin Ni again, but I don't know what kind of position everyone will stand on at that time?"

Yes, we are too weak to even protect ourselves, so how can we rescue the people of the Qin family?

There was no better way, so Huizhen and I stayed in the village to help find the remaining villagers, and tossed for two days until all the escaped villagers were found, and we set out on the way back tiredly.

Coming to the nearest town, Hye-jin and I are also going to break up.

He received the task of Master Mingtong, and he had to rush back to the Hanging Temple as soon as possible to deliver the letter and continue to complete his practice.

I was confused, not sure where I could go.

Hui Zhen said, "It's better to go back to the Hanging Temple with me, and I will let the host brother take you in and stay on the mountain with me to practice." ”

I smiled bitterly for a while, shook my head, and said forget it, I don't want to be a monk, and I'm not used to life in the temple, so I have to be careful about eating an egg.

In this way, Huizhen and I broke up, one to the south and the other to the north, reluctantly embarked on their respective cultivation paths, and agreed to wait for each of us to complete our studies, and then we would explore the rivers and lakes together.
