A strange and familiar fishy sweetness slid through his throat.

It's blood. It's not a familiar taste, but it's familiar......

The pain in my body suddenly lessened a lot, and my consciousness gradually returned. Ni Xiu slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was an ochre-colored hemp tent, and under him was a straw mat.

I couldn't help but be a little blindfolded, and then I looked around—rough wooden tables, lead pots, futons, and scribbled scriptures written all over the wall, where is this Xiangshan Academy?

It turned out that I didn't go back to the past, but just had a long, long dream.

Pushed open the creaky wooden door and walked out, it was dusk, the old road did not bring dust, dressed in the sunset, rolled up his trouser legs, and concentrated on tending to a few greens in the field.

When he was led into the door by Lao Dao before, there were basil full of paths all the way, Ni Xiu knew that this place should be the same as the inside of the house, but he didn't think that under this illusion was actually a vegetable garden that was not big or small.

The garden should be autumn sowing greens, winter is approaching, the momentum is very good, the green leaves, palm-like size, like a bright and lovely little porcelain doll.

Ni Xiu smiled: "It turned out to be a vegetable garden. ”

Lao Dao didn't hear it, just stared intently at the pearl vegetable in front of him, gently straightened it with his hand, and slightly compacted the surrounding soil, stretched out two fingers and carefully pinched off a trace of the yellowish bitten by insects on the side, and finally got closer, blowing away the dust between the cracks in its leaves little by little.

All his movements were light and soft, and even his breathing slowed down, but the expression on his face was a little heavy. Ni Xiu watched from the side in a daze, and just happened to see him half of his melancholy, reflecting the reddish glow, as if he had cried quietly.

It wasn't until he had finished making all the vegetables that Lao Dao turned his head and said to Ni Xiu: "Wake up."

I'm leaving, and I'm a little reluctant. ”

Ni Xiu reacted immediately, and the second half of the sentence was to say these dishes: "Where are you going?

Lao Dao smiled slightly, and he was the indifferent appearance of the fairy wind bones, pointed to the sky, and said, "There are many reluctances, and I have to go." ”

Ni Xiu was surprised: "This is, it's going to soar?"

The old man smiled.

I thought he was sad just now, but it turned out to be a flying ascension. Ni Xiu smiled dumbly: "This is a good thing! You can just steal the fun! I heard that God is benevolent, and those who have ascended can build their favorite dwellings in the sky, and you can build another one like this place when the time comes." I just don't know if God will let you grow vegetables again. I guess it doesn't matter. "It's recorded like this in the ancient books, and she doesn't know whether it's true or not.

"Not bad. But it's not them after all. ”

......: "I can't help it."

Lao Dao put down his trouser legs, turned around and entered the house, and said to Ni Xiu: "Come on! ”

Ni Xiu immediately followed and sat down in front of the coffee table.

It's still the wooden table, the lead pot, and the old furnace. The old way is familiar with preparing utensils, washing tea, boiling tea, and pouring tea, and the movements are crisp and neat, and they can be retracted and released freely. Eliminated the complicated patterns of ordinary people drinking tea, but held the essence, the little bits and pieces were just right, vulgar and elegant, so that Ni Xiu couldn't help but think of the "hug su" plaque in front of the house.

I don't know how many springs and autumns he spent before these cases. "It's really a little melancholy when I think about it.

Lao Dao pushed the tea in front of her. This time, there is no Jindan.

Ni Xiu took the cup with a smile: "Clear tea and wine, the Taoist is good Yaxing!"

"Doing what they like is the way to be hospitable. After a pause, the old Taoist said: "Today, there are two things that I have to tell you. One is the past, and the other is a trust. The former is also related to you, and the latter is something you can't do. ”

After that, Lao Dao opened his mouth and began to tell his story-

Ten thousand years ago, there was no immortal gate in the world, only scattered cultivation and scattered Taoism, and the demon eradication war was called "the battle of chaos" by the world. The "War of Chaos" not only made Xianmen rise and created the six great families, but also weakened the power of the civil imperial power, creating the current situation of Xianmen's prosperity.

According to the annals of history, today's six major families in Xianmen are the Penglai Feng family, the Xiangshan Ji family, the Wuling Zhu family, the Jinhe Pang family, the Yunqi You family and the Heyu Qian family. But history has been tampered with. ”

These six great families were supposed to be the seven great families, and the Heyu area was originally managed by the Xue family and the Qian family. The head of the Xue family, like the Ji family, was born in Sandao, and was obsessed with seeking innovative ways, and the descendants of the Xue family also followed the teachings of their ancestors.

"Three hundred years ago, however, everything changed ......"

The so-called "change is common, general is long". The Xue family even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to cross the ocean, collect classics everywhere, and then remove its dross, store its essence, and created a "secret art" of learning, which made the world rush to it, and the Xue family also reached an unprecedented grand occasion three hundred years ago, faintly overshadowing the momentum of the Feng family.

Ni Xiu didn't even need to ask, he wanted to know why it was three hundred years ago. Nowadays, ordinary people have long forgotten the Xue family, even when he was studying at Xiangshan Academy, Ji Chenglin, who was known as "Bo Gu Tong Jin", never mentioned a word. All traces of the Xue family in the annals have been erased. Thinking about the grand occasion three hundred years ago, it must have brought disaster to the Xue family.

I wanted to hear the story of the Xue family again, but Lao Dao suddenly changed his words: "What you have is the secret technique of the Xue family." ”

"The Xue family's affairs haven't been finished yet, why did it come to me? Step by step, can't you come one by one?" Ni Xiu interrupted unhappily.

Lao Tao said that it is all from the past and is not worth mentioning.

Ni Xiu snorted and said, "Do you know what the consequences of talking half are?"

The smile lines on Lao Dao's face finally loosened, he glared at Ni Xiu, and reluctantly began to talk about the Xue family. After all, it is a major matter related to one's own ascension, and who doesn't want to be auspicious?

"You also know that since ancient times, it has been mainly swordsmanship, supplemented by talismans. But do you know why?"

Ni Xiu pursed his lips and shook his head.

said that he was good at telling stories, and he also learned from Ji Chenglin to take class.

Seeing that she didn't know, Lao Dao stroked his beard with satisfaction and continued: "Cultivating swordsmanship, the stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the lethality, and a person's achievements are all determined by talent and diligence, and there is no possibility of opportunism. It is recognized as the orthodoxy of cultivation in the way of the sword. On the contrary, the reason why the art of Fu Seal is not recognized is because its requirements for people's spiritual power are not as high as those of swordsmanship.

And the secret art of the Xue family can be controlled by almost everyone, and it has become a crooked evil way in the mouth of the hundred schools of Xianmen. ”

Ni Xiu, who was nicknamed "Bloodthirsty Witch", had a deep understanding of this, and she sneered and said: "Everyone can control it, so everyone can kill demons and maintain the right path in the world, isn't it beautiful?

Lao Dao coughed lowly: "So the Xue family is destroyed, it is exactly this reason......"
