And here Ming Qi sent Ziyang back, and saw the Demon Venerable waiting for him in the dormitory from a distance. "Father?"

"Well, you're back. ”

Ming Qi walked a few steps to the Demon Venerable's side, "Father, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Demon Venerable sat on the chair and stared at Ming Qi for a long time before he finally spoke: "You went to Shushan a while ago, what did they say?"

Ming Qi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to talk about him left and right.

Demon Venerable got straight to the point, "Where did Mingyang go?"

Ming Qi still didn't dare to tell the truth, so the Demon Venerable had no choice but to continue: "Although the deity is usually a little harsh on him, he is still my son after all, if he causes any trouble......

"That's not ......" As soon as Ming Qi heard this, he might as well hurry up and tell the truth, "Father, Mingyang is very likely to be in the demon world now." ”

"Demon Realm?"

"From what I know, it's more likely that he's in the secret realm. ”

"That's bad. ”

"Father?"

Demon Venerable sighed and stood up and said, "You don't know, this secret realm has no entry and exit, and all those who enter the secret realm, no matter what it is, have never come out. ”

Ming Qi was anxious when he heard this, "Father, but Mingyang is the son of our Demon Realm, so they shouldn't force him to stay in the secret realm." ”

"That's because you don't understand to the north. He's a person, how to put it, a little tendony. ”

Ming Qi didn't know why he looked at the Demon Venerable, and the Demon Venerable had no choice but to continue to explain: "Back then, the secret realm was not closed, and one person broke into it by mistake, and Xiang Bei did not hesitate to break with his former classmate Bacang in order to protect the interests of the demon world. Of the four gods back then, your teacher Qi Pingliu had the best relationship with Ba Cang, because of Ba Cang's departure, he returned to the God Realm. Later, Yu Shui also had a disagreement with Xiangbei in the secret realm, and even established the Lock Demon Tower in Shushan. It is said that it was to the north, regardless of good and evil, that the brothers broke up. ”

"Yu Shui, Yu Shui?" Ming Qi had heard the name of the water countless times, but he didn't know that he had built the Lock Demon Tower.

"It's that Shui Bo. ”

Ming Qi was shocked, "Shui Bo, he and Xiangbei are brothers?"

It is said that he is a cousin, and later he was a classmate of Kunlun, and the relationship is extraordinary. But do you think, their brothers can break up, let alone others? So I think Xiang Bei is not so easy to get along with. Alas, that kid in Mingyang has always had little roots, and I'm really worried about his situation in the secret realm. ”

Ming Qi almost dropped his jaw in shock, he always thought that the four gods who came out of Kunlun back then were now only Qi Pingliu, but he didn't expect that Shui Bo was the famous Yu Shui. Thinking about the situation when he saw Shui Bo in Shushan, he broke the invisible wall at once, and knew that this invisible wall was taught by Qi Pingliu, and the head of Shushan also treated him with courtesy, so he should have thought of it. But for so many years, when it comes to the Lock Demon Tower, the world thinks that Shushan is guarding the town, and no one has ever talked about Shuibo, and no one has associated Shuibo with Yushui, which is really strange.

"Father, I went to consult the teacher before, and the teacher said that I don't have to worry too much, and also explained that Yang will go to Buzhou Mountain, so I think there should be no big incident in Mingyang. Ming Qi naturally didn't dare to say how he felt about the water avoidance dagger, and only picked some good words to comfort him.

When the Demon Venerable heard this, he was naturally relieved, but Ming Qi couldn't rest assured, and he came to Shushan again early the next morning.

The Shushan disciple went out again and asked, "Who is coming?"

Ming Qi didn't care, "Demon Ming Qi, ask to see Shui Bo." ”

"Shui Bo?"

"Not bad. ”

"Please wait, I'll go in and report later. ”

Less leaning, Ming Qi was led into Shu Mountain by a Shu Mountain disciple, this time there was no crowd watching, Shu Mountain disciples even seemed to receive an extremely ordinary guest, all the people who saw Ming Qi only nodded slightly, Ming Qi felt that this was the best. "Eldest prince, there is the forbidden land of Shushan in front of you, please go there by yourself. ”

Ming Qi nodded slightly, only to see the strange rocks in front of him, and when people walked in, if it weren't for the extremely high lock demon tower, they would even lose their way for a while. Ming Qi walked along the path, thinking that this Shui Bo must be near the Lock Demon Tower, but when he came to the Lock Demon Tower, he saw that there was a two-meter-wide open area between the strange stone and the Lock Demon Tower, and the Lock Demon Tower was like a very ordinary pagoda, but the seal on it was blessed, and the bells on each floor were still not moving in the wind.

Ming Qi bypassed the Lock Demon Tower, only to see that there was a hut not far from the back of the Lock Demon Tower, which complemented the strange stones. Ming Qi walked quickly, the door of the hut was wide open, and he saw that the hut was extremely simple. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the whole picture of the hut, and directly opposite the door is a big mountain stone, that is, the wall of the hut, and there is a gossip map on the stone. In front of the Bagua diagram there is a platform slightly higher than the rest of the hut, with a futon on top and a low table next to it with a set of tea sets. Ming Qi looked to the left, Shui Bo was sitting in the inner room drinking tea, saying that it was the inner and outer rooms, but it was separated by a curtain, and the inside was even more simple, with only a table and a chair.

Ming Qi hurriedly came over and gave a salute, "Junior Ming Qi participates in Shui Bo." ”

"You may be seated. ”

Ming Qi saw that the surroundings were empty, so he turned into a chair and sat opposite Shui Bo, "Thank you, senior." ”

Shui Bo handed over a cup of tea, Ming Qi took it with both hands, and tasted the fragrance of tea, and suddenly the tea fragrance was overflowing, but the taste was extremely light. "It's white tea. ”

Shui Bo nodded slightly, and the two of them took another sip at the same time.

Ming Qi saw that Shui Bo didn't say anything or ask anything, so he couldn't help but speak: "Senior, the junior came today because he didn't know something, and he wanted to ask his senior." ”

"What?"

"As one of the four gods, why didn't the predecessor become a grandmaster, but was willing to guard the Lock Demon Tower?"

Yu Shui gently put down the teacup and didn't say a word.

"Dare to ask your seniors, why did you leave the secret realm back then?"

Shui Bo's eyes opened a little, and then it became a gap again, and Ming Qi saw that he still didn't say a word, just stroked the white beard with his hand.

"Senior, I wonder if Xiangbei's seniors are really as bad as rumored?"

Shui Bo finally stopped brushing his beard, "It's better to get straight to the point." ”

Ming Qi arched his hand, "The juniors are rude." In fact, there is a friend of the younger generation who seems to have strayed into the secret realm, and now there is no news, and the younger generation has to look for it in Lent. The last time I came to Shushan, it was indeed too reckless for the juniors, and I asked the seniors to atone for their sins. ”

Shui Bo waved his hand, "Xiang Bei is not the kind of person who can divide the good and evil of the Six Realms, and when you enter the secret realm, you will be protected by Xiang Bei, but you may not have the opportunity to see your friend again." ”

"Senior, is there a way to enter the secret realm?"

Shui Bo shook his head, "Even if you go in, do you think you can take someone with you? ”

"The gate of the secret realm has been closed, and no one can enter without the consent of the north, so why should you waste your efforts. ”

Ming Qi looked at Yu Shui for a long time, and finally asked again: "Dare to ask your seniors, why did you leave the secret realm back then?"

Yu Shui picked up the teacup and took another sip, and finally slowly spoke: "How big do you think the gap between people can be?"

"It's a world of difference. ”

"But the differences between people are actually very subtle. ”

"Can a brother break up because of subtle differences?"

Yu Shui no longer thinks about the past, "Let's drink tea." ”

Ming Qi originally wanted to ask two things: the real reason for the break between Yu Shui and Xiang Bei, and to judge Xiang Bei as a person. The second is the method of entering the secret realm, and he plans to enter the secret realm and bring it back to Mingyang. But after talking for a long time, Yu Shui told him that there was no way to enter the secret realm, and also told him that his brother's break was because of subtle differences. This is equivalent to not saying it, Ming Qi's heart is very complicated, it is impossible for him to force Yu Shui to tell the truth by force, and it is even more likely to enter the secret realm without agreeing to the north, everything is back to the original point, and Mingyang's return is still far away.

At this time, Mingyang was gradually getting better, and he finally learned the whole history of the secret realm. On this day, he was reviewing with Lu Li in the archives, and Lu Li asked, "Why did Yu Shui leave?"

According to records, after Bacang left with the person who broke into it by mistake, Qi Pingliu returned to Kunlun in a fit of anger, and Yu Shui and Xiangbei continued to teach goblins in the secret realm. But one day, the Peony family lost one hundred and thirty demons in one night, and the murderer sat in a ruin, waiting to be captured. According to her confession, she used to be a human being, because her childhood sweetheart was tempted astray by the peony essence, she escaped into the demon path because of resentment, and cultivated into the secret realm to take revenge.

Later, according to the investigation, the demon who seduced her childhood sweetheart had collapsed and her soul was scattered and did not enter the secret realm, but she thought that all the goblins deserved to die! The demons couldn't stand such remarks, so they asked Xiangbei to execute the woman, and Xiangbei finally executed the woman in the name of her murdering the Peony family.

But Yu Shui and Xiang Bei argued, and Yu Shui believed that the tragedy of the woman was caused by a demon's evil. Xiangbei thinks that this matter is just the ups and downs of the human world, and the life experience. The differences between the two on this matter could not be reconciled, and the two originally planned to put aside their differences and teach the demons to be good. But after half a year, a vicious* incident occurred again in the secret realm, and Xiang Bei firmly believed that teaching the demons who had come to the secret realm could not solve the practical problem of goblins being good at doing evil, so he left the secret realm and came to the human world, and established the Demon Lock Tower to deter those demons who wanted to do evil in the human world. ”

Lu Li happily hugged Mingyang, "That's good, I remember everything." ”

"Hey, hey. Mingyang was also very happy: "You said that I used to be taught by the four wise men and I couldn't remember it, but now I suddenly opened up." ”

Lu Li let go of Mingyang again, "Can you not feel good about yourself?"

"Oh, really!" Mingyang was now in good spirits, "We read so many books every day, I can remember a thing or two no matter how stupid I am." ”

"Mingyang, you're really not stupid, you just learn slowly, don't say you're stupid. ”

Mingyang tried to squeeze out a smile, the two of them had already been chased north to learn all the files in the secret realm, and even retreated for 7749 days to follow Xiangbei to learn the Dao.

"Tomorrow, Master asked us to go to the Big Tree Platform, I don't know what we are going to do. ”

Mingyang saw that Lu Li was also a little tired, so he pinched Lu Li's little face, "Look at my junior sister who is tired, come, give my senior brother some fun." ”

Lu Li's mouth was pinched crooked by Mingyang, and he grinned and threatened: "If you don't let go of me again, I will eat you." ”

Mingyang is not afraid of Lu Li now, and is trying to tease Lu Li, but he only hears someone shouting outside the door.
