Chapter V: Entrustment
A day later, in the evening, Bai Chongtian sat on the top of the mountain, facing west, looking at the sun that was about to set in the distance, and there was a stone pillar standing beside him.
Because all the cultivation was passed on to the stone pillar, Bai Chongtian's face was extremely old at the moment, and his beard and eyebrows were gray.
Looking at the sunset in the distance, Bai Chongtian seemed to see his former self.
Thinking of his life, as dazzling and brilliant as the sun, now it is just like this sunset, about to fall.
It's just that when the big day rises again, he will never see tomorrow in vain.
"Alas"
The past reappears one by one, but it is difficult to look back.
Bai Chongtian sighed, took out the jade jue from his arms, and handed it to the stone pillar beside him.
"Big brother, you give me this jade pendant..."
Shi Zhu picked up the jade jue and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, but he didn't see anything famous, so he looked at Bai Chongtian suspiciously.
"Do you know how many levels there are in the exercises?"
Bai Chongtian asked.
"You know, there are four layers of exercises, which are divided into four categories: dragon slaying skills, flying skills, divine skills, and divine powers. ”
Shi Zhu nodded and replied.
"Not bad. Ordinary exercises such as dragon slaying techniques and flying skills can be recorded in atlases and ancient books, and it is not difficult to engrave them. But millions of years ago, the predecessors of the martial arts recorded what they had learned in their lives in the jade jue and left it to those who were destined. The jade jue in your hand is an amazing inheritance, otherwise it would not have caused the people of the divine realm to snatch it. It's just that those memories are too far away, and no one knows how to obtain the inheritance in this jade jue, so it's up to you to figure it out in the future. ”
"Yes. ”
With tears in his eyes, Shi Zhu hid Yu Jue close to his body.
After being silent for a while, Bai Chongtian continued to speak: "Bai Lianfeng, it was just a refuge for me to shelter some poor people, and after I die, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up by its surrounding forces. I will pass on the position of the peak master to you today, and in the future, Bai Lian Peak will be taken care of by you. ”
"Yes, big brother. Shi Zhu nodded hurriedly.
"After that, you have to pay special attention to the three major forces of the Ox Clan, the Werewolf Clan, and the Pig Man Clan. The lord of these three forces is not something you can deal with now, so remember to be cautious. ”
Bai Chongtian was entrusting him with the aftermath and informing him of the forces that Shizhu might face next.
"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely guard Bai Lian Peak and not let any forces get involved in it. ”
"In the future, you are also a figure who is going to be in charge of one party's forces, you must be calm in case of trouble, and you can't mess up at any time.
Even if you are facing a desperate situation, don't show it in front of the people below, you have to show that you are confident and wise, so that others will see hope.
Big brother will be gone in the future, you have to take care of yourself. ”
"Big Brother"
"That's it, no matter how much you say at the moment, it's all up to you. ”
Thinking that at the beginning, Shi Zhu just saved his life when he was in trouble, Bai Chongtian didn't care about his identity at all, and he and Shi Zhu were brothers with different surnames.
Even if Shi Zhu's cultivation qualifications are shallow, it will be difficult to break through the innate realm in his life. Bai Chongtian didn't look down on him, and even traveled all over the Nether Seven Heavens, found a little gold with the bloodline of the divine beast for him, and asked the stone pillar to sign a contract.
Since then, the stone pillar has also been protected by the divine beast Xiao Jin, and ordinary warriors can't hurt him at all.
It was also because the stone pillar had the power of self-preservation that Bai Chongtian kissed the seventh heaven Taiqingtian to find a magic medicine that could make him break through.
It's just that this time he fell into the abyss and was involved in a battle for jade.
Although he snatched Yu Jue from the hands of the people in the upper realm, he himself was also seriously injured, and it was difficult to save him.
On the way back, Bai Chongtian also thought about getting a way to save himself from Yu Jue, but unfortunately his life was not good, and he tried a variety of methods, but he still couldn't get the inheritance inside.
In desperation, Bai Chongtian gave everything he had to Shizhu, which can be regarded as the only help he gave to his younger brother in this world.
At this moment, there are two heavens of life and death, and Bai Chongtian has lost his former arrogance and domineering, just like an ordinary person, doing parting instructions.
"Big brother, tell me, who are they?"
Although Shi Zhu inherited most of Bai Chongtian's memories, he didn't know who made him like this.
Maybe Bai Chongtian did it on purpose and didn't want Shi Zhu to know.
Seeing the exhaustion on Bai Chongtian's face, Shi Zhu hurriedly asked.
"Heh, don't ask, you won't be able to reach them. However, the eldest brother believes that you are a dragon among men, and one day you will soar into the sky and complete my will. ”
Bai Chongtian knew that his brother had always lacked self-confidence because of his cultivation talent.
Now that he is about to die, he naturally hopes that the stone pillar can make up for this defect.
"A dragon among men? I will, I will. ”
"One day, I will become a dragon among men, and then I will know who you are. ”
Shi Zhu unconsciously clenched the fist in his sleeve and said in his heart.
Shi Zhu also knew that the different levels he stood on had different visions.
Now he is still too weak, and those who beat his eldest brother to a serious injury are not within his reach at this moment.
However, these were not revealed, but nodded and said: "The eldest brother said that I am the dragon among men, that is." Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely fulfill our common wish. ”
"Okay, so I'm relieved. ”
Maybe it's because after the cultivation is lost, he can't suppress the injuries on his body.
After saying this, Bai Chongtian felt a heavy sense of exhaustion, and a pair of eyelids rolled slightly, as if he was about to open them.
"Whew~~~Huh~~~Huh~~~"
On the top of the mountain, only the sound of Bai Chongtian's old, heavy breathing was at this moment.
After resting for a while, Bai Chongtian looked at Ning Longchen, who had been standing in the distance, and said, "Go and call him, I have something to say." ”
Shi Zhu nodded and led Ning Longchen to the edge of the cliff.
"The seniors are very gracious, and the younger generations can't repay it. I don't know what my predecessor called me to do, what did he order?"
The lives of himself and his eldest brother were saved because of the person in front of him. Although the eldest brother went in the end, he also said goodbye to himself.
Therefore, Ning Longchen was very grateful, and saluted respectfully at this moment, waiting for Bai Chongtian's orders.
"I am dying, and there is nothing to repay. ”
Bai Chongtian sighed.
"Why don't you give my share in return to my brother. I see that you are the same age, so you will become brothers. ”
Ning Longchen raised his head in some surprise, looking at Bai Chongtian's eyes, there was a sense of incomprehension.
Ning Longchen looked at the stone pillar on the side, and there was a reluctance in his eyes.
Although this person also saved himself and his eldest brother's lives, it was too hasty and a bit child's play to want the two to worship in this way.
At this moment, although the cultivation of the stone pillar is much higher than that of Ning Longchen, in terms of ability, the two are worlds apart.
Although there is not much contact, with Bai Chongtian's eyesight, it can still be seen that Ning Longchen is a rare talent and beautiful jade.
Now that he is leaving, tying Ning Longchen to the stone pillar is also considered a way out.
Even if the stone pillar can't keep Bai Lian Peak in the future, it is better to rely on Ning Longchen's ability to get out.
Therefore, although he saw the reluctance in Ning Longchen's eyes, Bai Chongtian still insisted on his thoughts and looked at him quietly.
Since it was his eldest brother's decision, Shi Zhu wouldn't say anything, and everything was left to Ning Longchen.
"Before my eldest brother died, I asked me to repay the two of them. But now, you want me to bow down to that man? What is my brotherhood with my eldest brother?"
Ning Longchen is a person who attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and he naturally can't help but repay his life-saving grace, and General Liu also entrusted him before he died.
But because of his emphasis on affection, Ning Longchen didn't want to live up to his friendship with General Liu.
In Ning Longchen's opinion, if he bowed to Shizhu, he would be a little sorry for his eldest brother.
As soon as someone died, you became a brother with someone else, and this let outsiders know, how can you see it?
Because he was still thinking about General Liu's feelings, Ning Longchen was still struggling in his heart, and he was considering whether to repay the favor like this.
The scene was stalemate for a while.
Looking at this scene now, Xiao Jin on the side was constantly swimming in the air, looking at the stone pillar for a while, Bai Chongtian for a while, and Ning Longchen for a while, a pair of lovely dragon eyes flashed with doubt.
In the eyes of the divine beast Xiao Jin, the human world is too complicated.
It's so easy to solve, and it's been so long to think about it.
"Xiao Ning, you and my brother, I never owe anyone in my life. Today, I owe two favors. When I die, you must return the favor. Otherwise, even when I get to the Nine Springs, I will feel uneasy. ”
The general of an army pays the most attention to kindness and righteousness.
inherited the two favors of Shizhu and Bai Chongtian before and after, and with General Liu's character, he naturally had to pay it back.
It's a pity that he himself is about to die, so he can only hand over the matter to Ning Longchen.
"Do you really want to bow down to that man?"
Looking at General Liu's tombstone in the distance, and then at the stone pillar on the side, the struggle in Ning Longchen's eyes finally slowly dissipated.
Seeing that Ning Longchen had already changed his mind, Bai Chongtian nodded with satisfaction.
"That's it, this person finally saved my life and my eldest brother's life. In the future, they will be brothers, and they should repay each other with death. ”
Seeing a hint of relief in Bai Chongtian's eyes, Ning Longchen's last bit of resentment had already dissipated.
Just as Ning Longchen and Shi Zhu were about to bow down, a wave of tidbits suddenly blew in the field, and there was a trace of fragrance in the air.
Looking at the peach blossoms falling in the air, Shi Zhu hurriedly flashed his figure and stood in front of Bai Chongtian, looking around with wary eyes.
Ning Longchen's face also changed slightly, as if he felt that something bad was about to happen.
