In the next five days, your grandmother led the civil and military ministers of the Drought Tribe, in accordance with the rituals, to perform daily ceremonies and prayers. I am the deputy priest, and the ritual vessel is spent all day long.

And before he knew it, on the sixth day, the sacrifice was completed.

At noon, the sacrificial procession was ready to go, and the ministers of civil and military affairs lined up in two columns outside the temple, waiting for the monarch to return to the capital. At parting, your grandmother knelt in the middle of the hall and recited the rhetoric. I stood behind her.

At this moment, someone pulled the corner of my coat behind me.

When I looked back, it turned out to be Yuan Lu, the enshrined official of the Temple of the Gods. Yuan Lu beckoned to me lightly, turned and walked to the side.

I didn't know what I meant, but when she called me, I followed her.

Yuan Lu led me into a small room next to the temple and sat me down. She sat in the chair across from me.

Before I could ask why, she asked, "I don't know if my son-in-law wants to die in the realm of drought or return to the world." ’

I was completely unprepared, and my mind went blank when I was asked this question, and after a moment of confusion, I said, 'I wanted to return to the world after this sacrifice.' But after being persuaded by Lord Ranxiang Tho, and in order to help the monarch's mother share her worries and contribute to the people of the drought, she decided to stay in the realm of the drought and survived. Although I have children and grandchildren in the world, I don't need to work hard, and even if I go back, it doesn't make much sense. ’

Yuan Lu said, 'Don't you feel that there is no unfinished mission in this life?'

I smiled and said, 'I am in the world, alone, and I have spent my whole life alone, and I have done my best to bear the responsibilities of my children and grandchildren, although I am indebted, and besides, there is nothing to tie up. What's more, I have spent my life in the fields, and I don't have a single official and a half-job, and I don't have a common people, so I can't talk about any mission or mission. ’

Yuan Lu said, "Son-in-law, you are too humble. In front of the ordinary people of the world, you are indeed an inconspicuous little commoner, but in fact you are a pivotal figure in the Manifestation II. In the Drought Tribe, you are the prince under one person and above ten thousand people, and in the world, you are the successor head of the Xuanmen of Shouyang Mountain. How can you say that you don't have a mission in you?'

I said, 'Among the Drought Tribes, I am just an outsider, but I rely on the face of my mother, I am supported by others, and I am just an idler. As for Shouyang Mountain, he just learned his skills from his ancestor for a few days, and he was just an ordinary Xuanmen disciple. ’

After hearing this, Yuan Lu laughed.

I was surprised and asked, 'Why is the elder laughing?'

Yuan Lu said: 'I laugh at you for being beautiful and not knowing it. ’

I was even more confused and asked, 'What does that mean?'

Yuan Lu said, 'Do you know what the treasure of the Xuanmen in the world is?'

"I am a disciple of Xuanmen, of course, I know it in my heart, and I said, "It's the Jinyun Divine Sword and the Xuanmen Technique." ’

Yuan Lu shook his head and said, "Although the Jinyun Divine Sword is in Shouyang Mountain, it is not a treasure of the Xuanmen Sect, but a treasure of the Wa royal family. ’

I was even more confused, and said timidly: "Although Shouyang Mountain is not in the order of the manifest world, nor is it under the jurisdiction of Ximu, but from the first generation of mountain lords to the present, the people in the mountains are all from the Wa royal family. The divine sword is not only the treasure of the Wa royal family, but also the treasure of the Xuanmen. ’

Yuan Lu said: "Although Shouyang Mountain is now the authentic sect of Xuanmen, Xuanjiao is not from the Wa royal family, but from the Xi royal family. In the world, only more than 100 people in Shouyang Mountain worship Xuanjiao, but in the secret world, Xihuang, Yushan, Aohei and other clans are all worshiped by the whole people, and there are hundreds of millions of disciples. However, the Xi royal family regarded the Jinyun Sword as a great weapon, hated it for thousands of years, and hated it as soon as it could not be destroyed. How can the evil things of the people of Xuanmen be said to be the treasure of Xuanmen?'

After listening to what she said, I thought it made sense, so I asked, 'In this way, the treasure of Xuanmen is only the same as the Xuanmen Technique?'

Yuan Lu nodded and said, "Presumably, the son-in-law also knows where the Xuanmen Technique is now?"

I said, 'My ancestor once told me that the Xuanmen Technique that Uncle Bo Yi brought to the West had been sealed in the Hidden Sword Cave along with the Jinyun Divine Sword. ’

Yuan Lu said, 'That's the original, and there's another copy?'

I said, 'There should be more than one copy in my hand, but I have one in my hand, which was given to me by my ancestor when I went down the mountain, so that I can keep it carefully, and never damage it, let alone leave it behind.' He also told me to devote myself to cultivating the Xuanfa after I went down the mountain, but I was mediocre all my life, all entangled in trivial matters, and did not cultivate well, which disappointed his old man's hard work. ’

Yuan Lu said, "Say something disrespectful, you are really confused. ’

I was at a loss in my heart, and hurriedly said, 'If there is any foolishness, please ask the elders to teach me.' ’

Yuan Lu said: "There is only one copy of the Xuanmen Technique that is circulating in the world today, and this only one is in your hand. ’

I exclaimed, 'Huh?!'

Yuan Lu went on to say: "Originally, the "Xuanmen Technique" was originally written in Dongyi characters, and it was passed down by the ancestor of Shouyang Mountain, De Boyi Shuqi, who did not know Dongyi characters at the beginning, and studied for 20 years before he could read it. In order to facilitate the practice of later generations, he transcribed a draft of the "Xuanmen Technique" in the Western Zhou script. After it was originally sealed into the Shenjian Cave, this manuscript was the only one in the world, becoming the first treasure of Shouyang Mountain and the symbol of the inheritance of the Lord of Shouyang Mountain. When the old mountain lord passes on the scriptures to you, he recognizes you as his heir. ’

When I heard this, I was shocked for a moment.

Seeing that my face was full of horror, Yuan Lu was silent, and said, "Since you are the future lord of Shouyang Mountain, you must take your due responsibility. ’

At this time, my heart was in a mess, and when I saw her talking about responsibility, I replied: "I have been mediocre all my life, and I have no strengths, what responsibility can I bear?" In Shouyang Mountain, there is already a disciple of the master and ancestor who is in charge of the daily affairs of the mountain, and he is very good at martial arts and mysteries, and he is worthy of great responsibility. When I choose leisure in the future, I will go to Shouyang Mountain and hand over the "Xuanmen Technique" to Yi Qi Chong. ’

Yuan Lu shook his head, stood up and said, "The commander has passed on the treasure of Zhenshan to you, and you can naturally pass it on to others. But as far as I know, the head of Shouyang Mountain continues to pass on the scriptures only between master and apprentice, if you accept a disciple, you can pass on the scriptures to him, and you can also pass on the position of the mountain master to him, but you and Yi Qichong are brothers, and he is still your senior brother, and you pass on the scriptures to him, which is contrary to the ethics of the teacher. ’

I said, 'Then I will return the scriptures to my master.' ’

Yuan Lu sneered, she sat back in her place, turned her head towards me, and said in a calm tone: "Son-in-law, no matter what, you can't shirk the responsibility on your body. Let's think about how to face it. I also hearsay about the Xuanmen, but I heard that there is a Xuanyuan in your Xuanmen, and the master will pass on the supreme treasure to you, it must be the Xuanyuan, how can you disobey it?'

I said, 'But I have no limit to what I can do. When it comes to responsibility, I don't dare to shirk it, but I don't know where my responsibility is, let alone how to take it. ’

Yuan Lu said, "Your duty is to save the world. ’

I was taken aback, stood up and said, 'Elder, don't joke with me. ’

Yuan Lu said with a serious expression: "Don't panic yet, sit down and listen to me slowly." ’

I sat down again.

Yuan Lu said, "As you know, forty years ago, an evil force appeared in the Secret Forest of the Drought Fish, and it is still haunting you. But for forty years, no one has been able to identify the source of the power of evil.

"'With the strength of the whole clan, although the influence of the evil force has been minimized, it is only a temporary strategy, and it will not last long. Once the evil force is beyond the control of the Drought Devils, there will be a series of troubles in the world.

"But that's just the beginning, far from all the challenges we'll face.

In recent decades, there have been clear signs that the world will experience a catastrophe unseen in thousands of years. No one can reverse it.

"'In the Great Tribulation, the important force that can regenerate the world is precisely on your Shouyang Mountain. ’

I said, 'How can a few hundred people in the Shouyang Mountain District become a force for rebirth in the world.' ’

Yuan Lu said, 'This is a sign from heaven, and there can be no mistake. Forty years ago, at the invitation of all ethnic groups, he asked in the temple of the gods about the rise and fall of the world in the next 50 years, and there were four proverbs in the hexagram: robbery is born in the gap, danger can be hung upside down, the young master saves the world, in the spring of Wei.

The meaning of the last two sentences is that there will be an accident in Shouyang Mountain to save the world from danger.

"Forty years have passed, and now we are on the eve of great changes in the world. But the young master of Shouyang Mountain has not yet appeared, and this matter makes me sleep.

"According to the hexagram 40 years ago, according to my calculation, the Lingshi will die soon, and the Lingshi Immortal will pass away, and you will inherit the position of the mountain master. And the young master mentioned in the proverbs must be the successor of the Shouyang Mountain Lord after you. ’

I said, 'Well, I'm going to die soon.'" ’

Yuan Lu said: "This is not necessarily, according to my understanding of your son-in-law, if you choose a candidate worthy of the great position, you will definitely give way during your lifetime." ’

I think she has a point.

Yuan Lu said, "Therefore, for the sake of the rise and fall of the world, you can't stay in the Drought Clan, and you can't just be muddled and die." ’

I said, 'So what should I do?'

Yuan Lu said, "Now, you must return to the world immediately and find your successor as soon as possible, that is, the young master who can save the crisis in the future." ’

I said, 'I'm willing to do that, it's better than doing nothing in a dry land.' But how do I know what kind of person I'm looking for?'

Yuan Lu said, 'I have eight characters here, and you can find them according to them, and in time, I think you will be able to find them.' Then he handed me a small paper envelope.

I took the envelope and asked, 'Where am I going to find it?'

Yuan Lu said, "You can travel all over the world, and you will meet each other by fate." ’

After Yuan Lu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "The brigade is about to set off, and I will stay for a short time, hoping to find someone to save the world as soon as possible." ’

I asked curiously, 'I don't know what the elders are talking about about the great tribulation, and when will it happen?'

Yuan Lu sent me out of the small room and said, "I don't know about this. Maybe no one can know except the heavens. May the gods bless the earth. ’”
