Dao Xueke became more and more shocked when he heard this, after all, Qin Buyu had never talked to him about this past.

Seeing him like this, Lijiangjiu was both amused and sad: "It seems that he has never talked to you about me." ”

Dao Xueke didn't know how to answer, so he nodded with a wry smile.

Outside, everyone sat in the hall drinking tea, and the hall had been cleaned up, renovated, and restored to its old appearance. At this time, except for Zhu Qingqiu and Dao Xueke lying in their respective rooms, the rest of them were in the hall, and Yan Yixin was responsible for taking care of them. Rao Mengli asked worriedly, "Won't the Divine Doctor hurt Brother Xue?"

Chu Qingan pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were full of trust and sympathy, and he said, "I believe in leaving my predecessor, because she is also a person who values love." Everyone was puzzled, but Na Yan shook his head and sighed.

Inside the house, Lijiangjiu continued to tell the story calmly: "More than eighty years ago, I lived on this Mengyao Mountain at that time, but at that time, there was no village here, and there were only a few scattered families. My family used to be fishermen by the sea, but I loved to read since I was a child, and my family followed the bad habit that a woman is virtuous if she was not talented, and refused to let me go to school, but I never gave up. When I was fifteen years old, I secretly ran away from home while my parents were away from work, and went to ask the gentleman at the private school in the town to teach me to read and write, but he disliked me as a child of a poor family, and had no money, so he refused to teach me. I pleaded again and again, but he still wouldn't answer. I had no choice but to give up and go home. I didn't want to be on the way home, I met an old man on the side of the road, the old man was fairy, and he looked a little fairy. But his leg was badly injured for some reason, and he couldn't stop bleeding. I tried to help him, and he gave me a medical book, but I couldn't read. Fortunately, there were pictures in the medical book, and he pointed out several medicinal herbs for me to recognize, and said that there were medicinal herbs on the nearby mountain that could cure his legs, and asked me to go up the mountain to collect medicine for him. ”

"I don't know whether the old man is good or bad, but he has a kind countenance, and I think that I am not a wicked man, but the mountain is full of woods, and there are wild beasts, and the mountain is high and dangerous, and even if there is medicine to be found, how can a fifteen-year-old child find all of them? Teaching me to read and write was such a temptation for me at that time. ”

"So the senior really went up to the mountain to collect medicine?" asked Dao Xueke.

Lijiangjiu nodded, and then said, "Not bad." At that time, I wanted to learn to read and write so much that I agreed to his request, and went up the mountain to search for the pictures of the herbs he had pointed out. How could the mountain be so big, and so much gravel and mud, and how much foot strength a fifteen-year-old child could have? After walking for about an hour, my straw sandals were covered with mud, pierced by the gravel, and even blisters appeared on my feet. ”

"I walked from early morning to dusk, I don't know how long I walked, I don't know how many times I rested, I only felt that my hands and feet were sore, and I couldn't stand steadily. A pair of straw sandals was also worn, so I simply took them off and carried them in my hands. Seeing the sunset, I didn't even find any herbs. I was anxious and scared, afraid that if I couldn't find herbs, not only would I not be able to learn to read and write, but I would also be trapped on this mountain for one night. But the sunset did not understand my mind, and after a while it disappeared on the other side of the mountain. It was already pitch black in the mountains and forests, and at night in the mountains and forests, wild beasts were rampant, and the sound of birds and beasts lingered in my ears, and I cried in shock. ”

"But no matter how much I cry, I can't walk down this mountain. I began to miss my parents, began to regret my promise to save the old man, and even began to resent him. But to no avail, I had to find a low tree, climb to the top of the tree with great difficulty, and rest all night holding the trunk. Fortunately, the night was peaceful, I was always vigilant in the first half of the night, and I was too sleepy in the second half of the night to fall into a deep sleep. ”

"It was a long night, but it was over. The next day it was just dawn, and I did not dare to stay in the mountains any longer, so I rushed down the mountain. The road at dawn is better than dark, and when I found my way down the mountain, my feet were already bloody and fleshy, but I didn't care about the pain, I just gasped for breath, glad that I had finally escaped from the mountain. I came to the foot of the mountain, but saw the old man pointed out the five herbs neatly placed on the side of the road, I expected that a whole day had passed, but I was afraid that the old man had been rescued by others, so I no longer had hope, but I subconsciously still held all the herbs in my arms, and the ghost made the gods walk back to that road. What I didn't expect was that the old man was still waiting for me, but his leg injury had already healed. ”

"I gave him the herbs anyway, and when he saw that I was resolute and bold in my work, and that I was not lacking in caution, he said that he would take me as an apprentice. He also said that he could not only teach me to read and write, but also teach me medical books and martial arts. Naturally, I was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and bowed to him as my teacher. Master led me home, and when my family saw that I hadn't returned overnight, they naturally went crazy looking for me, and now that I have returned home, they are even more excited. When they saw that the old man wanted to take me as an apprentice, they didn't agree, but the old man didn't know what to say to my father, and they finally agreed to let the old man take me away. So, when I was fifteen years old, I followed my master and settled in this Mengyao Mountain. ”

"Dare to ask the senior master's name. Dao Xueke asked.

When Lijiang Jiu mentioned her master's name, there was no respect on her face, and there was a little resentment: "My master is Xingyunzi, the master of the Extreme Yang Gate of the Firmament Palace. ”

Qiongtian Palace, an extremely ancient sect, legend has it that this sect has eight branches, and the master of each branch is a top master, but Qiongtian Palace disappeared more than a hundred years ago, extinct in the rivers and lakes, and the world does not know why. Although this sect used to be the supreme martial arts and was at its peak, a hundred years have passed, and few people in the rivers and lakes today can remember it.

Dao Xueke asked in surprise, "Could it be the Nebula Zi senior, who was known as the Extreme Yang Holy Monarch a hundred years ago?" ”

"Yes, that's what my master used to be called. Lijiangjiu's eyes were full of resentment, and his eyes flashed, "My master's name is Xingyunzi, and he is known as the Extreme Yang Holy Monarch, because he was the master of the Extreme Yang Gate, one of the eight branches under the command of the Palace Master of the Martial Arts Supreme Dome Heavenly Palace, and the Extreme Yang Gate is in charge of medical skills and internal force, so my master's medical skills are unparalleled in the world." But then, for some reason, the Vault Palace disappeared from the rivers and lakes. I don't know why, I only know that when I apprenticed, Master had already left the sect, and was just a worldly master who was scattered, and even his identity was revealed to me before he died. Master also told me that the collapse and disappearance of the Dome Palace was due to internal strife, and warned me that people are sinister in their hearts, and that they should not easily trust anyone, even those close to you, who will deceive you for profit. ”

"Master brought me to this Mengyao Mountain, and it has been more than 80 years in the blink of an eye. When Master was alive, he first taught me to read and write, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Rites and Pleasures, and then wrote what he had learned in his life into four medical books, one Heart Sutra, and one Internal Strength, all of which were taught to me and taught me to practice as a good student. I also know that Master wants me to inherit his mantle, after all, Master knows me and me, nurtures and bestows his kindness, although he is a little strict on weekdays, but he treats me like a daughter in private, and I am like a father. ”

"With Master's careful teaching and my own diligent practice, I finally learned Master's skills at the age of 30, but I have not yet reached Master's realm. Master then taught me a set of methods for immortality, and told me that with my talent and qualifications, I would be able to achieve success in 30 years. But at that time I was already 30 years old, since ancient times, what woman did not marry and start a family in her teens and twenties, or by the orders of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, looking for a wishful husband, husband and children, but the rest of her life? Except for Master and the growing number of villagers, I never saw any other man, nor did I fall in love with anyone. Master told me that if I want to practice, I must first throw away the shackles of distracting thoughts and purify my heart and desires before I can become a great way. ”

"I have always followed his requirements, purified my heart and few desires, and devoted myself to cultivation. Because I practiced the method of immortality taught by my master, my appearance stopped in my twenties, but I knew that my youth was long gone. At the age of forty, Master finally went. Although he also learned the method of immortality, for some reason, he only lived to be ninety years old and then rode to the west. Before he died, he explained his identity to me, repeatedly warned me not to trust others, let alone reveal his identity and my martial arts, but I did not listen to me. ”

"The martial arts of the predecessors are unfathomable, it seems that they have really obtained the true inheritance of the old predecessors of Xingyunzi, and the old predecessors can also be blind in the spirit of the sky. Dao Xueke couldn't help but sigh.

Lijiangjiu snorted disapprerovingly: "No, he can't look at it, because I didn't follow his will, but because of this, I almost caused a big disaster." ”

Dao Xueke hurriedly asked, "Where did this matter begin?"

Lijiangjiu explained: "What my master and his old man have learned all their lives are all taught by the Firmament Palace and painstakingly collected and studied by himself. Gathered into four medical books, collectively known as "Jishi Qing Bag", which records nearly 1,000 kinds of herbs, thousands of drawings, and countless prescriptions, all of which are the painstaking efforts of my master, accumulated bit by bit. It also includes the operation and dispensing of the golden needle and the meridians of the human skeleton, which can be called a real medical book. And the Heart Sutra is called "Extreme Yang Decision", this Heart Sutra is the Heart Sutra of the Extreme Yang Gate of the Firmament Palace, this heart method is extremely pure yang, the practice can keep the mind, calm the mind, increase internal strength, and is beneficial to promote the practice of other martial arts, this is the heart of the Qiongtian Palace, and my master also taught it to me. ”

"I can't tell you the longevity formula I have learned, but what I can tell you is that the martial arts I learned are also the martial arts that my master has studied for several years, and the martial arts of the Extreme Yang Gate have been combined with the martial arts of the Extreme Yang Gate to write an internal martial arts scripture, called the "First Dust Sutra". If you want to learn this martial art, you must first take the profound internal strength as the foundation, and take it as the base, just like planting a tree to practice, this internal strength can turn the virtual into reality, and the internal force is the blade, extremely rigid and yang, unpredictable. ”

"Master was very kind to me, and I admired him even more at that time. After Master's death, I inherited his mantle and continued to stay in the village on Mengyao Mountain to help the world and save people. Master has been kind and charitable all his life, hanging pots to help the world, and the people in the village regard him as a god, of course, these villagers are not ordinary people, most of them are martial arts people who are tired of the strife in the rivers and lakes, and they fled here to be an ordinary person, but they are dead. Since it is inevitable that ordinary people will be born, old, sick and die, I will do my best to heal them, watching them grow old and die, but I have been living in this world, and the villagers have treated my master as if I were a god. It's just that when Master was here, I still had someone who could speak, although Master was already silent. But after Master's death, I no longer had anyone to confide into. The villagers respected and loved me, but at the same time alienated me. No one knows what it's like to be lonely. ”

"Since I took over from Master, many people have come to me for treatment, and I will help me with or without a consultation fee. Until more than fifty years ago, a twenty-year-old young man ran to Mengyao Mountain, he claimed to be Qin Wuzai, saying that because his family had offended the government, he was chased and killed all the way before fleeing here, and his family was dead, helpless, desperate, and begged me to take him in. I didn't want to accept him at first, so he knelt in front of my cottage for three days and three nights, and then fainted in front of my door. I was so soft-hearted that I couldn't help it, so I rescued him back to the cottage and fed him some porridge. When he was in a coma, I accidentally discovered that the meridians of his whole body were all connected, and he already had a certain amount of internal strength. And the bones are amazing, he is a martial arts wizard, talented, and seems to be willing to endure hardships. I remembered that he was miserable, lonely, and so sincere, and that the mantle of the master needed to be passed on again, so I took him by my side as an apprentice. ”

Dao Xueke pondered for a moment and asked, "I'm afraid that my predecessors still have selfish intentions." ”

"You!" Lijiangjiu's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down again, and said with a light sigh: "Yes, I am selfish. I just want someone to accompany me, so that I don't have to suffer from loneliness anymore. But it was this selfishness that harmed me. ”

"Since then, Qin Wuzai has stayed by my side, following me to learn martial arts and medical skills, his talent is extremely high, it only took five years, the extreme yang decision has been a small success, and the four volumes of "Ji Shi Qing Bag" He actually learned three volumes, this talent is much higher than when I was back, and even, no less than my master. Naturally, I was overjoyed, and I just thought that I had accepted a good apprentice for my master, so that his mastery could be spread in the rivers and lakes forever. He was also very diligent and respectful to me. ”

However, as the so-called road knows the horsepower, it will see the hearts of the people over time. Later, I found out that his mind was not right, without my permission, secretly practiced the First Dust Sutra, and his own practice of sword and palm skills is extremely ruthless, not like decent martial arts, and he has been hiding his deep internal strength, I was negligent for a while, and I was deceived by him. It's just that I didn't take it to heart at that time, what I was thinking about was that this person's talent was rare, a rare encounter in a hundred years, he secretly practiced the First Dust Sutra, I can acquiesce, after all, I will teach him sooner or later, he even has evil martial arts, I can also acquiesce, martial arts do not distinguish between good and evil, as long as he is dedicated to good, he can inherit my mantle, hang the pot to help the world, and which martial arts he learns has nothing to do with me. But I never thought that he was not very old, but his ambition was not small. ”

"Qin Wuzai's greed is too heavy, he has learned the Extreme Yang Decision and the First Dust Sutra and the four Jishi Qing Bags, martial arts are no longer under me, not to mention that his own martial arts have also been completed, I am afraid that there will be no opponents in the world, I burn incense and pray in front of the master's spirit every day, praying that the master's spirit in the sky can bless him and tell him not to do stupid things. But my unscrupulous apprentice still lived up to my expectations. He had been with me for a long time, but he didn't see me getting old, so he asked me why, and I inadvertently revealed the secret of longevity. At that time, I only thought it was my own disciple, and it didn't hurt to talk about it, but what I didn't expect was that when he was thirty years old, he regarded himself as the best in the world, unrivaled, and his ambition was completely exposed. Actually, I should have taught him the secret of longevity at the right time, but at that time he was very evil, if I gave him the secret of longevity, it would definitely cause trouble, I couldn't indulge him in doing evil, so I pretended to give him the secret of longevity, deceived him with a fake book, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and tried my best to hurt him, of course, I myself was seriously injured. ”

"He fled from Mengyao Mountain and never came back to find me. Later, the name of Qin Wujiao, the bloody hand mad sword, spread on the rivers and lakes, and I naturally knew that it was him, but I was powerless to stop him. I can only continue to pray in this Mengyao Mountain, praying that he will one day turn back to the shore and come back to me to confess his sins. I've been waiting for him for 40 years, and I haven't heard from him yet. He was my first disciple, my last disciple, a disciple I loved and hated. It took me three years to recover from the wounds he left on my body, but the wounds he left on my heart have not yet healed. I hate, I regret, I hate myself, I hate my master, I hate my father, if it weren't for my master's insistence on taking me up the mountain and teaching me medical skills and martial arts, then nothing would have happened. I regret it, I regret that I shouldn't have gone up to the mountain to learn art, I regret that I shouldn't have taken him as an apprentice, and I regret that I shouldn't have gone to him. ”

"Thirty years ago, he suddenly disappeared, and there was no longer his name on the rivers and lakes, although I had heard of what Ye Hong, known as the world's number one swordsman, and Qin Wu robbed the sword method, but I knew that this Ye Hong was by no means his disciple. I pinched my fingers and counted, after more than 40 years of separation, he may no longer be alive, but my heart knot has accompanied me to this day. It's just that I never thought that to this day, I can still see you again, in addition to the mental method of Kexue Mountain Villa, the internal skills you practice are clearly the Ten Directions Returning to the Heart Gong, and your moves are obviously the bloody heart loss knife. I've said so much, don't you still admit that you are a disciple of Qin Wuzai's lineage?"
