Chapter 16: The Supreme Martial Spirit
"Extraordinary masters!" Everyone glanced at each other, each feeling the shock in each other's hearts, this recently flourishing Martial Spirit Palace, there are actually six extraordinary masters, what kind of existence is this, you know, the land immortals of the transcendent realm have disappeared for decades, there are six here at once, and the "supreme martial soul" who holds the power to kill these six people, what kind of existence is that?
"No one can find out the details of the Wuhun Palace, every dead soldier who enters their organization, up to the extraordinary power, down to the cannon fodder of the martial arts, everyone has made a blood oath in the name of the Holy Ancestor, whenever someone is exposed, often only their corpses can be obtained, once in Chongzhou, there have been Tianjie dead soldiers of the Wuhun Hall who blew themselves up, but the news was blocked by the state religion, you don't know!"
"Mother is right!" Seeing everyone looking over, Liu Chen coughed lightly, his eyes were a little dodgy, and at this moment, he didn't dare to look at Liu Jingfeng's eyes, "I also practiced the technique of self-detonation, once I am exposed to the enemy's eyes one day, I can only self-detonate to show my loyalty to the Supreme Martial Soul!"
"Your surname is Liu, why should you be loyal to others?"
"Uncle, the Martial Spirit Hall has chosen me, I have no way out!"
Liu Fengfeng glanced at Liu Chen deeply, then his shoulders weakened, and he leaned heavily on the seat, and the old housekeeper ran over with concern, constantly stroking his chest and abdomen, hoping that he would feel better.
"Cover the clouds!"
"I know!" Liu Shayun listened to his eldest brother's call, suddenly stood up, clenched his fists and said lightly: "I will go to find the black-clothed shopkeeper and join the Martial Spirit Palace, Yi'er can't be fine, as long as I am alive, I will definitely protect him!"
"Third uncle!"
"Needless to say, and no need for your referral, I can find him. ”
"Yi'er's matter is related to the life and death of the Liu family, you ......"
"Don't worry, the head of the family won't know!" Everyone had complicated thoughts, especially Liu Chen's aunt, who also took out a string of Buddhist beads and kept chanting, born in this precarious era, even if he is as noble as one of the nine holy places, in the face of those never-ending darkness, he can only be honestly afraid.
After eating, everyone with complicated minds went back to the house, Liu Chen came to Ji Wanzhu's room and talked, and when she was about to take a nap, she said goodbye and quit, and went to the front yard to find Liu Shayun, and the uncle and nephew went to the edge of the pond in the garden together, fishing and talking.
"The last time you asked me to hold Xu Hou on the Dragon Boat Festival, it's also your task!"
"Yes" Liu Chen stared at the buoy, his hands rolling the grass aimlessly.
"Xu Hou there, your ninth uncle will go in person, under the pretext of military affairs, it is much more useful than me, this mission, I will accompany you!" Liu Shaoyun smiled slightly, and brought up a small fish from the water, the small fish struggled a few times, and was held in Liu Shaoyun's hand, and with a light throw, a silver-white arc was drawn in the air, and finally landed in the bamboo basket.
As soon as the buoy moved, Liu Chen pulled suddenly, but he could only see the empty hook, the cunning fish had already swallowed the bait and walked away, "You don't know what we are going to do." ”
"That day, you wanted me to drag Xue Dudu back, because I was afraid that he would encounter danger, even a ground-level master could encounter danger, not to mention you, don't say more, third uncle, I have my own measure!"
Liu Chen was silent, and he didn't have the slightest idea of persuading him in his heart, besides, with his third uncle's cultivation, being able to be by his side was also an extra security for himself.
At dinner, Liu Chen sent a few small fish to the kitchen, made a simple meal, and came to Ji Wanzhu's room, where the mother and son sat together.
"I heard that the girl of the Xu family is sticking to you very tightly?"
"Mother sent someone to spy on me?" Liu Chen picked out the fish bones in the rice, raised his head and looked at Ji Wanzhu with some unhappiness.
"Do you need to monitor you, you toad eating swan meat story, for my mother's ears to listen to the cocoon, now full of Chang'an, who doesn't know." Ji Wanzhu smiled with her eyebrows, poured a cup of tea for Liu Chen with love, lowered her voice and chuckled: "If you want my mother to say, that girl is also very good, she can be regarded as so-so and worthy of you!"
"Mother, don't mess with the mandarin duck score, I have someone I like!" Liu Chen twisted a few times, blushed slightly, and finally said to Ji Wanzhu's tray: "Her name is Beigong Fu, although she is not beautiful, but I like to see her laugh, I am very happy to talk to her, don't you know, she is smart, she is about to finish reading the collection of books in the academy." ”
"Beigong Fu?" Ji Wanzhu smiled for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "Spirit people?"
"That's right, her hometown lives in Bubarren Mountain. ”
"Huh. When Ji Wanzhu heard the barren mountain, her eyebrows were raised together, and with her eyebrows frowning, a pale red lotus flower in the middle of her smooth eyebrows suddenly shrank the petals, making her whole face begin to look a little demonic, but Liu Chen, who was burying her head and gushing, did not notice her abnormality, these changes happened in an instant, and when Ji Wanzhu came back to her senses, she regained her calm again, and when she saw Liu Chen's eyebrows fluttering, she smiled even more, "Bring her over another day to show her mother." ”
"I'll talk about that later. As soon as he talked about Beigong Fu, Liu Chen's appetite suddenly increased, all the depression in his heart was swept away, and the simple meals on the table began to become delicious, "She is very busy, when she doesn't read one day, I will ask her, I can't guarantee if I see you." ”
Ji Wanzhu smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked to Liu Chen's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow for my mother, I have to go back to Yuezhou to deal with official business, you won't go back to the academy today, the courtyard next door has been cleaned up, today, let's talk to each other." ”
"Okay. In the place where Liu Chen couldn't see, Ji Wanzhu's face was straight, and she glanced at the girl waiting at the door with a cold face, and the girl bowed her head lightly and left far away with the will of the Grand Duke.
When it was close to the time, Liu Chen slowly retreated from Ji Wanzhu's room, and only when facing his moody mother-in-law, Liu Chen would become cheerful, and he didn't know how to stop talking, maybe only when he saw Ji Wanzhu, he could really feel the long-lost maternal love, he wanted to confide, and wanted to tell her all the interesting things that happened around him, because whenever he laughed, the love on Ji Wanzhu's face made Liu Chen's heart extremely happy, and this kind of joy was exactly what he dreamed of.
On the edge of the pond, Liu Shayun is still holding a fishing rod, sitting like a mountain, far away from him, Liu Jingfeng, who has gathered all his breath, is looking at it deadly, and does not move his body into the vast and boundless night.
"You're here?"
A gust of wind blew, Liu Shayun opened his slightly squinted eyes, turned around and stood up, staring at the oncoming man in black with vigilance.
"I've always been!" It was the shopkeeper who was shrouded in black robes, and when he walked less than three feet in front of Liu Shayun, the two stood still, and the air fell silent again.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and Liu Jingfeng on the side was a little anxious in his heart, for fear that what the man in black did in secret would be unfavorable to Liu Shayun, according to Ji Wanzhu's narrative, this person is an extraordinary master, what kind of existence is that, even if Liu Jingfeng and Liu Shaoyun join forces, in front of that person, there is only one way to die.
"Want to do it?" What shocked Liu Shayun was that as soon as the man in black raised his hand, he took out a bronze medal engraved with martial arts characters from his sleeve, which was exactly the same as the one in Liu Chen's hand, it turned out that this person had really been in the Cangguo Mansion, and he heard all the conversations at the family banquet, but he didn't notice his existence at all, thinking of this, Liu Shayun was a little cold, and the chill to the bones made him almost want to fight back.
After a long time, Liu Shayun stretched out his hand and slowly grabbed the brand in the hands of the shopkeeper, just when his finger was only an inch away from the bronze medal, the shopkeeper spoke again, "You want me to give it to you, but you have to be loyal to the martial soul first, from then on, you are first the nineteenth road lord of my martial soul hall, and then the third young master of the Liu family, when life and death are at stake, the martial soul hall is higher than the Tibetan Soldier Valley!"
"Impossible!" Liu Shayun put his hand away, frowned and looked at the shopkeeper coldly, judging from his straight back, our Third Master Liu was ready to snatch it.
"You say it's impossible? Do you still want to do it with me?" The shopkeeper was still indifferent, and after a moment of silence, he tore off the face towel that blocked his face, raised his head again and approached Liu Shayun and said, "Now, is it possible?"
Liu Jingfeng, who was far away in the corner, suddenly found that the momentum that his third brother had just raised was leaked in a blink of an eye, and even the incomparably tall figure began to tremble like chaff, and for a long time, Liu Shuyun knelt on the ground, and the intermittent oath spit out from his mouth, and it fell into Liu Jingfeng's ears very clearly, only making him cold all over, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning.
"The Holy Ancestor is above, I, Liu Shayun, will be loyal to the Martial Soul Hall from now on, loyal to the great Supreme Martial Soul, no matter in life or death in the future, the will of the Supreme Martial Soul will be the highest criterion, if this oath is violated, the sky will thunder, and the soul will forever fall into hell, and it will not be reborn!"
"Hehehe. The shopkeeper put on a face scarf, ignoring the soulless Liu Shayun, and when he rose into the air, his eyes glanced at the stunned Liu Fengfeng in the corner, and after smiling slightly, he said coldly: "Go, Lord of the Nineteenth Road of the Great Martial Spirit Palace, go and complete your mission!"
