"Hahahaha!" came a hearty laugh in the darkness.

Tang Zixi scratched his head and said, "Did I say the wrong thing?" She now felt that she was full of strength, so Fang Cai's words were not polite, but really intended to carry both of them out.

"You didn't say the wrong thing, you are a good boy, and the old man is very relieved that he didn't find the wrong person this time. The voice laughed heartily, I don't know if it was her illusion, the other party even seemed to be much kinder, "I still want to thank you for your kindness, but the old man is now a half-human, half-ghost monster, even if he returns to the world, he will be hunted and killed." Rather than this, it is better to accompany her here for the rest of her life. This is my last apology to her. ”

"But......" Tang Zixi's heart suddenly felt sad for no reason, although she had been with this senior for less than half an hour, but she couldn't repay the kindness that the other party gave her in her life.

As the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, as soon as she thought of this, she felt that her throat was very blocked, and she couldn't say the rest anymore. She knew that the other party was telling the truth, and it was because of this that she felt even more powerless.

The other party also seemed to be a little sad, and said in a low tone after a while: "You don't have to thank me, and you don't have to feel guilty, the old man passed on his life's skills to you just to atone for his sins." So it's not that you want to be grateful, as long as you can remember the word 'benevolence' when you walk in the future, it is the greatest comfort to the old man. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "The old man doesn't know whether this move is a blessing or a curse for you, so you can do it yourself in the future." ”

Tang Zixi nodded with tears in his eyes and said: "The grace of the seniors to save their lives and reinvent the younger generations cannot be repaid in this life, but the entrustment of the seniors will definitely be remembered by the younger generations, and they will definitely not live up to the expectations of the seniors." ”

"You're wrong. The voice corrected, "It's not just for the old man, it's for yourself." ”

"For myself?" Tang Zixi didn't understand what he meant.

The voice didn't mean to answer, but said, "You'll understand." After speaking, his tone changed, and he shouted, "Go and return the things to others!"

Tang Zixi was stunned when he heard this, and when he was puzzled, he saw the head cowering and walking out from behind the stone pillar, looking at Tang Zixi vigilantly as he walked, seeing that she didn't mean to deal with herself, she threw the whistle she was holding in her palm beside Zhong Han, and then quickly returned to the back of the stone pillar.

"You have to remember that you are not a disciple of my Tang Court, and the old man is not your master. The voice was very serious, with a hint of majesty that could not be refused, "If someone inside the door forces you to do something you don't want to do in the future, you don't have to look at the old man's face, when you refuse, you must refuse." ”

"Yes! Tang Zixi nodded first, thought about it and couldn't help asking, "What will they force me to do?"

The voice didn't answer, but said, "The old man also hopes that this situation will not happen." In short, Tang Tingshan will rely on you in the future. ”

Tang Zixi didn't hear the deep meaning of his words, and thought that the other party was saying a final goodbye to him, so he couldn't help but start to feel sad again, and choked up: "The junior will definitely bring the words you explained, and will also hand over the gossip mirror to the hands of Master Jiang." ”

The voice snorted, paused and said, "Before you go, the old man must remind you that your muscles and veins are naturally different from ordinary people, so you can't practice ordinary martial arts. Although it is true that Abbot Lichen passed on the "Five Elements Gong" to you, it is not suitable for your current cultivation, so it is better to practice less. ”

"Why?" Tang Zixi raised his sleeve and wiped a handful of tears, "Father has been ...... for so many years Only the juniors of "Five Elements Gong" can barely practice, and the other martial arts methods are chaotic as soon as they are practiced, and they almost go mad several times. ”

The voice didn't answer her directly, but asked, "Have you often fainted for no reason in the past two years, and you have a tingling sensation in your chest?"

"Not bad. Tang Zixi didn't expect that he even knew this, so he couldn't help but be shocked, and then reacted, "Could it be because of the Five Elements Gong?"

"Not bad. The voice agreed with her speculation and explained, "The Five Elements Gong is divided into two parts, and if you only have one of them and start cultivating rashly, it will not only be difficult to make progress, but it will also bury hidden dangers. This is evidenced by your frequent fainting and tingling in your chest. As it stands, in two years at most, you'll be an ignorant living dead. ”

Tang Zixi was startled and said, "Is it so serious......?"

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a chill in her back, if even Master Chen was calculating her, she really didn't know who else in this world could be trusted, and she couldn't help but start to regret that she had given the things that Xu Qingyuan had entrusted her to Chen. It was precisely because she went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple that Tang Qianzhi went out to look for her, and then delayed the time to go out of the city, and then there was a series of things that followed, otherwise she and her third brother would have been thousands of miles away now.

"You can't blame the abbot for this. Fortunately, the other party cleared his grievances for the dust in time, and suddenly sped up the speed of his speech, "First, as a disciple of Buddhism, how can he understand Taoist martial arts; And even if there is only the upper part, this exercise is also a rare peerless martial art in the world, and if it is the cultivation of others, he has already become a martial arts master. But you don't have to worry too much, as long as you make good use of the skills passed on to you by the old man, you may be able to suppress it. ”

Tang Zixi lowered his head in shame and snorted: "I still blame myself for not being angry." ”

“...... So the top priority is to find the lower part of "Five Elements Gong", you are a blessed child, and the old man believes that you will find it. Speaking of this, the voice seemed to be extremely tired, and his voice became lower and lower, and he gasped for a long time, "The old man is all he says, and it will depend on your own creation in the future." Let's go!" seemed to match his words, and the entire cave began to shake, and there was a faint sound of the passage collapsing.

"The younger generation must follow the teachings! Great kindness and great virtue will be reported in the next life!" Tang Zixi also knew that it was indeed time to go, and after speaking, he knelt on the ground and knocked his head several times in a row, and when he raised his head again, his forehead was red.

She took a deep look at somewhere in the darkness, gritted her teeth and turned to Zhong Han's side, put him on her back, and strode in the direction where the light came.

The head poked its head out from behind the stone pillar and bared its teeth at her back, as if unwilling.

Tang Zixi carried Zhong Han on his back to the exit that had been blocked by the boulder, stretched out his right palm and pushed hard, the boulder was easily pushed away by her, and rolled forward with a grunt.

She looked at her hand with some surprise, originally she was just trying her current skills, but she didn't expect to push it away so easily. Immediately surprised and delighted into the passage.

As soon as I entered, I found that this passage was actually made of white jade, and all the way down, at the end of the stairs you could even catch a glimpse of the vibrant green, which was obviously the exit.

She couldn't help but have a hint of joy on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, and her feet became lighter.

Who knew that the good times did not last long, and they walked less than ten zhang away, when a gust of wind blew from behind without warning. If Tang Zixi in the past would only regard this as a natural wind, but at this moment, she had the skills of that unknown predecessor for decades, so she easily sniffed out the hidden killing intent from the wind, and immediately turned around and slapped her palm without hesitation.

However, this palm went out but failed, and there was no figure in the passage. Just when she thought it was her delusion and was about to turn around and leave again, a woman's laughter suddenly sounded around her.

The laughter flickered far and near, high and low, sometimes crisp and pleasant like the tinkling of spring water, sometimes sharp and piercing like the cry of an unjust soul. Hearing this, Tang Zixi's hairs stood up, and even Zhong Han on her back was shocked by the laughter and opened her eyes.

"No one is allowed to leave without my permission!" the woman's voice suddenly sounded beside them.

Tang Zixi turned around in a panic, but he still couldn't see half a figure, but the head before was probing his brain next to the passage, as if he was looking for something, and when he saw Tang Zixi looking at him, he hurriedly retracted his head.

"Don't look for it, you can't find me. The woman seemed to know everything she was doing, and giggled.

Tang Zixi calmed down, pretending to be calm and shouted: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be a ghost here?"

"Who am I?" the woman grinned, "Didn't you still call me a senior, why didn't you know who I was in a blink of an eye?"

Tang Zixi's surprise was not trivial, and said, "Are you an unknown senior?" and then loudly denied, "Impossible!"

The woman said disdainfully: "Ignorant little ghost, make a fuss!

"I ......" Tang Zixi was about to reply, when he suddenly felt a sharp shake under his feet, and hurriedly held on to the stone wall next to him.

At this moment, a palpitating snapping sound suddenly sounded under her feet, and in the panic, she only had time to take a few steps back, watching those white jade steps crack rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, a bottomless crack opened in front of her, and a smell of decay and mildew rushed out of it, making her almost nauseous.

The woman giggled and said, "Good boy, come down." Don't you want to repay me? Come down, my sister can tell you a lot of interesting things. She sang as she spoke, and the song echoed through the empty passages.

Tang Zixi's expression began to become sluggish the moment he heard the singing, and he said indifferently: "Okay, I'll go down!" After speaking, he really took a step and was about to jump into the crack, but was held by a hand in time.
