Abbot Huijue shook his head when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I was reluctant to do it as a monk at the beginning, how could I let you follow in my footsteps again? The heir I am talking about is the one who takes over the key to keep the Qiankun in my place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Hearing Abbot Huinian's last words, the smile on Han Bing's face instantly condensed, he opened his mouth, and an indescribable sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he held the old abbot's hand tighter.

The abbot of Huijue still had a smile on his face, and sighed: "You stupid child! I have been on the sickbed for half my life, but I am just hanging this breath! You have already probed my pulse, and you should know that my body is also the same as you before, and the pulse has already been destroyed. It's a relief for me to give up such a broken skin!"

Han Bing just hung his head, holding the old abbot's hand tightly and didn't speak.

Abbot Huijue stroked his head again and sighed softly, "At the beginning, the meridians in your body were broken, and you will be imprisoned in the temple for the rest of your life, so you are indeed the best choice to keep the key." But now that your meridians have been restored, and it is impossible for you to stay in the temple from now on, this key should not be handed over to you anymore. ”

Han Bing certainly understood the meaning of Abbot Huijue's words.

This key should be related to many unknown secrets, and I don't know how many people want to keep it for themselves. Once these people know that the key is in his hands, they will use all means to take it from him, and it will bring him endless trouble.

If he could stay in the temple for the rest of his life, like the abbot of Huijue, all the troubles would be kept out by a temple wall, and once he left here, those troubles would follow him, putting him in great danger.

He raised his head, looked at Abbot Huijue, and suddenly asked, "If I can't be your heir, won't I be able to listen to you tell me stories?"

Abbot Huijue couldn't help but smile and said, "If you really want to know that story, it doesn't hurt that I will tell you about it." But I have to remind you that sometimes the more a person knows, the more he has to bear. ”

The cold starry eyes flashed, and he grinned: "Some things, someone must do them, and some results, someone must bear them." Not only did I want to hear that story, but I also wanted to get the key. ”

Abbot Huijue looked at Han Bing with deep eyes, slowly reached into his arms, took out a thing, and handed it to Han Bing's hands.

Han Bing stared closely, it was a strangely shaped key, bronze texture, dark color, as if it had not been used for a long time.

"This is the Qiankun key, one of the Qiankun keys, and the other half of the Kun key is in the hands of Huinian's junior brother, and when the two are combined, they can open the door to the underworld. ”

"The Gate of the Underworld?" asked in confusion, feeling that there was a deeper meaning in the old abbot's words.

"Do you remember the secret I told you twelve years ago? And in that underworld, there are many more secrets that are not known to the world. From now on, you will be the one responsible for keeping these secrets, until one day you will find your heir, just like I did. ”

Han Bing nodded silently and took the key into his arms.

"I've told you a little bit about my origins, but there's one thing I haven't mentioned to you, and that's my illness, which is not a disease, but an injury. Back then, I also suffered the same thing as you, the meridians of my whole body were destroyed, not only my martial arts were wasted, but I also fell into a body of injuries. ”

"You are the senior brother of Master Huinian, if you want to come to martial arts, you will not be weaker than him, who can have the opportunity to give you such a heavy hand?"

"That man is my master, Yin Wu Ya. ”

Han Bing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't say a word. Ever since he heard the puppet story told by Meng Jinghong, he had a deep understanding of the ruthless methods of this Yin State Master, although he didn't expect him to be ruthless to his disciple, but he didn't doubt that he would have such a vicious heart.

Abbot Huijue saw his expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "After listening to that part of Meng Jinghong's story, it is natural for you to be hostile to the family teacher, just because you are in different positions. In fact, the family teacher destroyed my meridians for a reason, and it was done as a last resort, and all this was out of my own volition, not forced by the family teacher. ”

"You voluntarily let people ruin their cultivation, why?"

"Because I was practicing the wedding dress skills taught by my family teacher. ”

"Wedding Dress Skill!" Han Bing's face couldn't help but change, "It turns out that the Yin Kingdom Master has also practiced the Wedding Dress Skill! Could it be that he is actually a northerner?"

"Although he is not a northerner, his master, King Chiyang, is a northerner. I have told you the terrible thing about the wedding dress exercise - after the practitioner has achieved the initial skill, he must first absorb the internal strength of the close relatives who have also practiced the wedding dress skill before he can reach a higher level.

It's just that the person who is close to you in this does not necessarily have to be related to the practitioner, but refers to the person who willingly sacrifices himself to fulfill you. For if it were not for the dear and beloved, who would be willing to marry a man?

At the beginning, the family teacher passed on my wedding dress skills, and the original intention was to leave all his internal strength to me after my success, so that I could become a new generation of national teachers after him and assist the future monarch of Dayu. But later, the situation changed, and the crown prince Haoxing Xiaoyin was demoted to the eternal king.

At that time, the tutor had already realized that Dayu was unstable. So he exhausted his efforts and finally thought of a way to temporarily keep the Dayu country - to build a pillar to protect the country in the Jishi Temple. He resigned from the post of national teacher to Emperor Taizu, and then settled in Jishi Temple, and repented.

At that time, I was in my youth, and I didn't want to shave, but I was really reluctant to leave my teacher, so I finally gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and became a monk with my teacher. After entering the Jishi Temple, I gradually understood why the family teacher chose the location for the construction of the Protector Pillar in the Jishi Temple.

It turns out that when Jishi Temple was first built hundreds of years ago, it was a temple to protect the country. At that time, the emperor had secretly built an ingenious underworld under Jishi Temple, and kept many rare treasures in it as a wealth for future generations. Unfortunately, not long after the completion of that underworld, there was a civil strife in that country, the emperor was killed, the throne changed hands, and then there was an invasion by foreign powers, and finally the city was destroyed and the country was destroyed, and even Jishi Temple could not escape the catastrophe and was burned by the rebel army.

After the change of dynasty, Jishi Temple was destroyed and rebuilt, but the underground palace was no longer known. Later, the tutor read some records about this underworld in a fragment book that he got by chance, so he looked through a large number of ancient books, and finally deduced the location of the underworld according to the sporadic clues he found.

After painstakingly finding the key to Qiankun and opening the gate of the underworld, the family teacher built the pillar of protecting the country in the very center. However, if the foundation of the pillar is to be stable, the bottom three pillars must be sunk into the ground. This is not something that anyone can do, but it requires the blood of three generations of founding emperors and all the essence of the people who built this pillar, and only when the two are combined can the divine power be generated, and the pillar body will sink into the ground on its own.

At that time, in order to build this pillar of protecting the country, the family teacher had almost exhausted his efforts, and he was unable to inject the essence into the pillar at all. So I passed on all my internal strength to the family teacher, and although the family teacher stopped in time and saved my life, my meridians were completely destroyed. And after the family teacher injected all his essence into the Protector Pillar, he sat down and ......"

When he came out of Abbot Huijue's meditation room, it was already the middle of the moon.

Han Bing looked up at the bright moon in the sky that seemed to be extremely close but was actually extremely far away, and remembered everything he had just heard, and suddenly felt like a world away.

Princess Qingping, King Ling Tian of Zhenbei, National Teacher Yin Wuya, Yu Taizu Hao Xingqi......

Those legendary characters back then seemed to have appeared in front of him one after another. The love and hatred between them, the blood and tears they shed for the common people in the world, have gradually disappeared in the long river of history with the passage of time, and not many people can still remember it.

But they did change history and the world.
