Chapter 184: The Five-Year Covenant

"Long Jun, since we talked about it here, I might as well tell you and you. There are some things that even the Luo Ji brothers and the Ma brothers don't know, and they are all things that have been sealed for decades. ”

Huo Changmen's eyes were a little confused, and he said leisurely: "The battle in three months later is not trivial. Iron Hat City, Qicheng, Lengjiabao, Wujiguan, and even the forces of the entire Qicheng Great Power will all be killed in the Ginkgo Valley. There are some things that I don't say, maybe they will be buried in my stomach forever......"

The Ji Longjun brothers were taken aback, they looked at the faces of the other three, and they were all extremely dignified.

"Two little friends, listen to me continue. Huo Changmen said with a smile.

Everything is going on in secret.

After Ding Yima's injuries were largely recovered, Huo Binhu handed over Ding Yima's ten children. He arranged everyone in a very mysterious place, Luming Gorge.

Luming Gorge is located in a corner of the Ginkgo Valley, the radius is only a few miles, surrounded by mountains, and are extremely high cliffs and dangerous peaks, if someone leads the way, it is impossible to find the way to enter from the outside.

Luming Gorge is the resting place of the previous heads of the Huo family, not to mention ordinary people, even the children of the Huo family are not allowed to enter, only a very small number of family elders know the existence of Luming Gorge.

Huo Binhu arranged for Ding Yima and other eleven people to hide in Luming Gorge to practice martial arts, and there was no one else in the canyon except for the eleven of them.

Ding Yima is very familiar with his physical condition, he is already an old man in his sixties, he has recovered from external injuries but internal wounds cannot be healed, and he feels that he will only live for another six or seven years at most, and it will be difficult to live past the 70 mark.

He has been smiling proudly in his life, he has experienced peaks and valleys, and calmly accepted the final arrangement given to him by fate, and carefully taught these ten children the Five Elements Immortal Technique in Luming Gorge.

Only Huo Binhu came to visit once a year on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Huo Binhu came to Lumingxia again, he found that Ding Yima was already full of gorgeous hair, his body was even more rickety, and his body was full of twilight, and only a pair of eyes occasionally flashed with a breathtaking light.

"Senior, I haven't seen you for another year, are you okay?" Huo Binhu greeted with some emotion.

"Hehe, it's the same old way. ”

Ding Yima said with a smile, "Children, go out and practice martial arts by yourself, I want to talk to Lord Huo Zhai for a while." ”

With Ding Yima's greeting, Huo Changmen and others, who had grown into tall teenagers, bowed down to Ding Yima and Huo Binhu obediently and retreated, and walked out of the stone room one after another.

Ding Yima simply cleaned up the ancient and modern books on the chair and made a spacious seat for Huo Binhu.

"Senior, this kid is ......," Huo Binhu sat down and asked.

Ding Yima waved his hand: "Brother Huo, Xu Gang has outstanding talent and unlimited potential, and he has improved more than other children in the past year." ”

Huo Binhu nodded, his eyes were a little complicated.

"Brother, I know what you're considering. The Huo family is a big family, and Ginkgo Valley is also a huge industry. Standing long or virtuous, no matter which family it is in, it is a big problem, and it is not a child's play. This is your Huo family's business, old man, I won't say much. ”

Huo Binhu smiled awkwardly, it turned out that his heart had already been seen through by Senior Ding.

Huo Changmen practiced martial arts very well, one of the best among these children, and his talent was also good, but Huo Xu had just become an unimaginable outlier.

The speed at which he learned the Five Elements Alchemy was far faster than that of the other nine children, and it was much stronger than Huo Changmen, which made Ding Yima extremely happy, and he also made him come every year

Huo Binhu, who was visiting, had some thoughts in his heart.

After all, Huo Changmen is his eldest son, and Huo Xugang is the child of the side branch of the Huo family.

It stands to reason that every child of the Huo family has the qualifications to compete for the head of the family, but for the sake of family stability, the successive heads of the family are still mostly in the lineage.

But strong martial arts does not mean that you can be a good head of the family, the main family to deal with the internal and foreign affairs of the entire Ginkgo Valley, the economy and people's livelihood, requires extremely high skills and brains, not just strong martial arts.

But Huo Xugang not only has far surpassed Huo Changmen in martial arts, but his mind is not inferior to him.

This made it very difficult for Huo Binhu to decide.

In the future, after Nagato inherits the position of the head of the family, it would be good if Xu Gang worked together with him, but if there was a brother in the family who was far stronger in martial arts than the head of the family, and there was a brother with extraordinary brains but great ambitions, you can imagine how difficult the life of the head of the family would be.

In today's world, wolf smoke is everywhere, and martial arts are becoming more and more important.

A family head with top kung fu strength is of course a necessary reassurance for the family.

"Senior, is the relationship between this kid and Nagato still so stiff?" Huo Binhu asked with a wry smile.

"Hey, both of them are not admitting defeat. ”

Ding Yima shook his head and said with a smile: "Nagato always thinks of himself as the boss of these children, but his kung fu is a lot worse than Xu Gang. Xu Gang is naturally arrogant, and only serves the strong, regardless of status, do you think they can have a good relationship?"

"Brother, I have devoted myself to education, but unfortunately it is by nature, it is good that they have not quarreled with me all these years, and I can't let them really shake hands and make peace. ”

Huo Binhu sighed and shook his head, silent.

After a while, Huo Binhu changed the subject: "Senior, I see that you are getting more and more haggard, and your body is ...... bones."

Ding Yima's face changed, and he nodded silently.

"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, my destiny is coming. ”

Ding Yima took a deep breath and said, "It's been five years, it's gone in a blink of an eye, it's really fast." The past five years have exhausted all my energy, but I have also trained a group of good disciples. Brother Huo, I have tried my best, I can't take care of what heights the children can reach in the future. ”

"Brother Huo, I have stayed in Ginkgo Valley for the last five years, I feel that I am worthy of your life-saving grace to me, and I can barely atone for the sins of those people in Xinggu who died because of me! Maybe I can live for another month, maybe two months, I already feel that that day is coming. ”

Huo Binhu was a little sad, he could also feel the faint dying aura on Senior Ding's body, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Senior, you could have lived well for six or seven years, and you were tired like this in order to teach the children to practice martial arts......"

Ding Yima waved his hand and said: "What's the point of waiting for six or seven years to live and die? I'm already very satisfied with being able to train the two good boys of Xugang and Nagato." ”

Ding Yima's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Brother Huo, in the end, I'll give you a gift to help you solve a big headache, okay?"

Huo Binhu was stunned: "Senior, what do you mean?"

"Huh. ”

Ding Yima touched his silver beard and said with a smile: "In the afternoon, you can take Nagato and the other children back, Xu Gang will stay first, and then accompany me for a few days." I'll explain some things to him, let him leave the Ginkgo Valley and go to the White Sun Gate of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth, and worship under the master of my 'golden' character hall to continue his studies, what do you think?"

Huo Binhu was taken aback: "Senior, this, this, this ......"

Ding Yima waved his hand: "Old."

Brother, this kid is stubborn and arrogant, staying in the Huo family may be a big battle, but after all, it is not conducive to the future Nagato taking those children to rule the entire Ginkgo Valley. The absolute king, one is enough. ”

"Besides, you shouldn't feel like a big loss when Xu just left. Xu Gang is a member of the Huo family after all, and he grew up eating Huo family rice. When he goes to the White Sun Gate, it is equivalent to a fish entering the sea, and the future and the world are broader, and his vision and vision will become broader. There is always a time when people grow up, and when the children grow up, Xugang may not be your Huo family's strong support outside. ”

Huo Binhu thought about it and nodded silently.

"Brother, of course, this is also my selfishness. Xu Gang is extremely talented, if there is no one to guide me after I die, his achievements in staying in the Ginkgo Valley will be limited after all, wouldn't he bury a good seedling? Let him go, it will be a good thing for you, for Xu Gang, and even for Nagato. ”

"Senior, I understand your hard work. ”

Huo Binhu was moved: "Help the horse and send it for a ride." Senior, you are really a great kindness to our Huo family and to Ginkgo Valley, but it's a pity that time is running out, and I have nothing to repay you......"

Ding Yima laughed: "Brother, don't say that I am so great, I am just an old man who is about to die." Do something before you die, not only to help you, but also to help myself! Although I am not able to do everything thoroughly, I am somewhat unwilling to bury it. In the last few years, a few good apprentices can be trained to enjoy the joy of family in this treasure land, which can be regarded as complete. ”

Huo Binhu nodded, and what Ding Yima said was very realistic.

"Senior, you asked me to take the children away today, so what are your plans?"

Ding Yima said: "I'll stay here." This is the burial place of the previous heads of the Huo family, although my old man is not a member of the Huo family, but I have an apprentice of the head of the Huo family, and I am not an outsider with a cheeky face. Besides, I can't afford to toss, so I'll be alone for the last month or two, and live until one day counts. When I die, you don't have to come to bury me, I will find a stone cave, sit in it and go to see my grandfather calmly, and wait until you come to accompany me after a hundred years. ”

Huo Binhu's eyes were already full of tears, Ding Yima was the strongest martial arts master he had ever seen, and he was also the senior with the best character and personality he had ever met.

How can people not be moved when they are about to die.

"By the way, senior, I almost forgot a big thing!" Huo Binhu suddenly looked grim and said seriously.

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

"Senior, have you ever heard of the name of the Mobei 'Ji Zong'?"

"'Kimune?'"

Ding Yima was stunned: "Naturally, I have heard of it." Ji Zong is the first-rate sect in Mobei, especially the mysteries of the exercises. Ji Zong's fame is so great that it is not too far from the White Sun Gate. ”

"Senior, I heard the news from the merchant's brother that it was Ji Zong...... was attacked by mysterious forces, and the top masters of the sect suffered heavy casualties. Ji Zong, he has been removed from Mobei!"

"What?!"

Ding Yima stood up and said in disbelief: "Ji Zong is a famous sect with a very long heritage, and it will be ...... Wipe it out in one fell swoop?"

"Yes. This incident has a great impact in Mobei, and it can be described as an earth-shattering event. It's just that when you get to the Wonder Realm, it's just a piece of information. Huo Binhu shook his head and said.

"Who is capable of this...... Destroying Ji Zong, and still being able to remain mysterious, terrifying, terrifying......" Ding Yima muttered.
