Luo Yin heard the call of his master, stood up from the boulder he was meditating on, his body moved, as if turning into a breeze, and disappeared by the stream in an instant, leaving only an afterimage to prove that there were people in this place.

Not long after, he had already stepped into the main hall of Qingyang Temple, and saluted Zhang Xingzhi who was sitting in the hall, "The disciple has successfully broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the realm of qi consummation, and he is trying to report the good news to the master." ”

"It's very good to enter the country, and I'm very happy to be a teacher. Your efforts in the past few years have been seen by the teacher, and being able to advance to the realm of Qi Perfection so quickly is also a little beyond the teacher's expectations. ”

Zhang Xingzhi looked at his disciple with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face were stacked together because of this smile. The breeze blew, curling up a strand of silver hair, floating behind him, giving people a sense of fairy wind and bones.

Luo Yin looked at the teacher in front of him, and felt a little sad in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Xingzhi was no longer what he was when he first met a few years ago, and he was still an elegant and wise middle-aged man at that time. But now, in just a few years, Luo Yin has watched him age rapidly and become extremely old, like a decaying dead wood that will dissipate in the wind at any time.

"I don't know what the master has to tell when he summons his apprentices?" Luo Yin held back the sadness in his heart and asked Zhang Xingzhi.

"The time limit for the teacher is approaching, and he will die soon, and there are a few things to entrust to you before he dies......"

Seeing that Zhang Xingzhi, who was still getting very old, suddenly said that his time was short, Luo Yin's heart was sour, and he held back his sad emotions and said: "What does the master have to hand over to the apprentice, and the apprentice will never give up!"

"The life of the teacher also told you before, when I was twelve years old, I was just a little shepherd boy under this Qingyang Mountain, and by chance I got this "Heavenly Mixed Yuan True Scripture", so as to embark on the road of cultivating immortals. Since then, his cultivation has improved rapidly, and he has advanced to the Divine Soul Stage at the age of forty. ”

"Back then, I was also full of ambition and high spirits, thinking that with my remaining two hundred and sixty years of life, I could break through the difficulties of Jindan no matter what, condense Jindan, and even get a glimpse of the road to immortality. ”

"How do you know the difficulty of Jindan, it is difficult to go to the sky. I spent more than 200 years traveling all over the world to find a way to help me break through the barrier, but unfortunately I tried all means to fail. ”

Zhang Xingzhi continued with some sadness: "At that time, my family was just an ordinary farm family under this Qingyang Mountain, except for me, there were three people in the family, both parents and a brother, who lived by renting the fields of large families in the village, and it was a luxury to fill their stomachs every day. ”

"When I cultivated a little bit, I used magic and my identity as an immortal cultivator to gradually make my family richer, and I became the leading family at the foot of Qingyang Mountain. At that time, I saw that my family did not have to worry about food and clothing, and that my parents and brother could do their filial piety, so I left my hometown and traveled around. ”

"For some reason, the trip took many years, and when I returned home, I didn't realize that my parents had already passed away. Before they died, they never forgot me, an unfilial son, and hoped to see me again......"

Zhang Xingzhi talked about the past, two lines of tears fell in his eyes, full of regret, "After three years of filial piety for my parents, I left my hometown again and traveled to other places in order to find a way to break through the bottleneck of Jindan. This was more than 200 years, and it was not until I realized that Jindan was hopeless that I returned to this place again. ”

"However, when I came back, I found that everything was wrong, and the Zhang family, which had flourished because of my practice in the past, slowly declined in the long years that followed. A few years before I returned to my hometown, due to the war between the Chu court and the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms, the entire Zhang clan completely disappeared into the war. ”

Luo Yin listened to all this told by Zhang Xingzhi, and couldn't help but feel sad. Immortal cultivators live a long life, a retreat, a trip is years, decades or even hundreds of years have passed, and when they come back again, perhaps their former relatives and friends have become loess.

"Maybe it's because I miss my relatives when I'm old, and I start looking for the descendants of the Zhang family everywhere, hoping to find a descendant who has a blood connection with me and can pass on my mantle. Zhang Xingzhi said lonely.

"But the war is ruthless, and I have been searching for several years, but I have not been able to find any descendants of the Zhang family. Slowly, I also gave up and gave up, so I built this small Taoist temple in the Qingyang Mountain where I gave birth and raised me, and I was ready to live here. ”

Luo Yin's heart moved, and he said: "The Zhang family is deeply blessed, and the remaining descendants of the Zhang family have either slowly migrated elsewhere in more than two hundred years, or have fled to other places for refuge because of the war. As long as you look slowly, there will always be a day when you find it. ”

Zhang Xingzhi nodded and said: "As a teacher, I also hope so, I hope that my Zhang family will have descendants to survive in the world." Therefore, there is something I want to entrust to you as a teacher?"

"Shizun, do you want your disciples to search for the descendants of the Zhang family on your behalf?" Luo Yin listened to Zhang Xingzhi's narration and could already roughly guess his thoughts.

"More than two hundred years have passed, and nearly ten generations have passed since mortals, plus the impact of the war, perhaps the Zhang clan has long been annihilated. I have been looking for a teacher for many years and have not found it, so how can I let you spend your time here. Zhang Xingzhi's old face showed a loving smile.

"As a teacher, I only hope that if one day in the future, you can take care of one or two for me. If this descendant has this heart of cultivation, you can lead him to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and I have a wish. ”

Luo Yin looked at the old man in front of him, who had little life, and understood his expectations in his heart, in this life, he failed to break through the Jindan Pass and explore the door of immortality, so he hoped that someone among his bloodline descendants could continue this pursuit.

Thinking of this, Luo Yin nodded solemnly and said, "Master rest assured, if the disciple is lucky enough to meet the descendants of the Zhang family in the future, he will definitely take care of him." If he wants to practice, he will do everything in his power to cross him on the path of cultivation. ”

After speaking, Luo Yin remembered something and asked: "It's just Master, the disciple doesn't know if he will meet your descendants in this life, even if he is lucky enough to meet you, how can I tell the difference?" What kind of tokens and the like, so as to confirm each other's identities, otherwise even if your descendants are in person, the disciples will not recognize them." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xingzhi smiled and said: "I have been away from home for more than 200 years, and I have long since lost a single person I know, so in order to find future generations, I made a magic weapon to find it." As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized thing from his arms, stroked it lightly, and handed it to Luo Yin.

Luo Yin took the magic weapon, checked it in his hand, and found that it was a palm-sized emerald green jade pendant. The whole piece of jade is green, as if it is about to drip out. In the center of the jade pendant, there is a small piece of faint red the size of a thumb, which is integrated with the whole jade pendant.

"I took a drop of essence blood and dripped it into it, and refined it into a magic weapon for finding people, so this jade pendant center has this piece of red. Zhang Xingzhi pointed to this jade pendant and said, "When someone who is related to me by blood appears within a radius of ten miles from this jade pendant, this jade pendant will send a message to inform you to find it." ”

As he spoke, he sighed, "I hope it will be useful one day." ”

"The disciple will definitely live up to the trust, please rest assured. Luo Yin carefully put the jade pendant into the treasure bag, and then said solemnly.

"Your character is well known and naturally believes that you can do it. ”

Zhang Xingzhi looked at his only disciple and thought of the fact that he had taken care of orphans and widows who had nothing to do with it for a promise, and he admired this promise very much. I believe that if he can really meet his descendants, he will definitely not forget his trust.
