Chapter 4: The Mystery of Life

Qiu Xin heard the master say this, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, and at the same time, he was more curious about his father, who had never met before, but looking at the master's expression, it seemed that he was extremely reluctant to mention the past, and Qiu Xin could only wait for the master to continue.

I don't know how many hours have passed, even Xiaobai has come once, and finally, the middle-aged man on the futon retracted his gaze, seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and slowly spoke.

"This matter, we have to start with Mount Tai, the last generation of Taishan Sword Hall Master received four disciples in his life, namely the eldest disciple Gu Zangfeng, the second disciple Qi Kun, the third disciple Yin Shiyun, and the fourth disciple Lan Muyue.

At that time, the sword hall was the most prosperous hall in the five halls of Mount Tai, hundreds of disciples in the hall, all practiced swordsmanship, among which the four hall masters personally passed on the disciples of the highest martial arts, and the hidden sect was also proud of the sword hall, based on the world, and truly became one of the three major sects.

Later, one day, suddenly, the hall master summoned the four disciples and said that he had gone mad due to his carelessness in practicing the way of the sword, and he was afraid that time was running out.

And the master was also difficult to control because he had cultivated one of the sword moves, and then he had to spread it to the four disciples, and his four disciples were of course difficult to accept when they heard the news.

First, the master's swordsmanship has reached the realm of transformation, and the internal strength is profound, so it is impossible for this to happen, and secondly, the ancestors of the Sword Hall have expressly forbidden the cultivation of the "Divine Sword Technique", as the master of the hall, how can he violate it.

However, just when the disciples were skeptical, the eldest disciple Gu Zangfeng called for the master's pulse, and found that his heart was broken, and he was afraid that there was still one breath left, so he persuaded all the junior brothers and sisters to obey the master's arrangement, and the eldest disciple Gu Zangfeng took over the position of the master of the Sword Hall, and the second disciple Qi Kun represented the Sword Hall as the candidate for the next generation of sect masters.

The third disciple and the fourth disciple assisted the senior brother in managing the sword hall, so as not to weaken the name of the sword hall, the four disciples all bowed their heads and said yes, and then the master of the sword hall swallowed his last breath and drove the crane west. At that time, the Yin Sect was full of mourning, and the funeral was held for three days and three nights. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man had a sad look on his face, and Qiu Xin asked, "Since this 'Divine Sword Technique' is very harmful, why don't you just destroy it, but leave it in the world?"

The master continued, "This sword spectrum is the sword spectrum you practiced during the day, it contains the secret of becoming an immortal, in the face of this huge temptation, who can refuse, if it is you, can you refuse?"

Qiu Xin was silent when he heard this, as if he was thinking about whether he could leave the temptation of becoming an immortal, and then, his master said.

"You will wonder, how did I know these secret things, as if I had experienced them myself, in fact, I am the eldest disciple Gu Zangfeng, after the death of the master, I really took over the sword hall, according to the master's last wishes, I hid the sword spectrum in the hanging wall peak spirit hall, and swore that I would never take it out again in this life.

Later, the Sword Hall did not make any mistakes under my management, but was stronger than when the master was there, and just when everything seemed to be on the right track, my third junior brother suddenly judged the Hidden Sect, joined the Demon Sect, and changed his name to Ying Tianxiao.

All the way to become the leader of the Demon Sect, only the top management of the Hidden Sect knows about this matter, for the sake of face, the Hidden Sect has not spread, I don't blame him, I just think he has any troubles, and the Demon Sect is acting cautiously under his management, unlike in the past, it is also a great thing.

In the same year, my second junior brother, who has always been taciturn, actually became the sect master of the Hidden Sect, which also increased my face a lot, although the four of us were separated from many places, but each of them was still a dragon and a phoenix, until later the little junior sister also left, to find the third junior brother.

The little junior sister is naturally handsome, and her martial arts are not below me, she is deeply liked by the master, and of course she has won the love of all the disciples, of course, me and the second junior brother are also among them.

When the little junior sister left, we realized that they had already been deeply rooted, and the little junior sister would rather bear the infamy of bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors to be with the third junior brother, although the second junior brother and I had hatred in our hearts, but we were in a high position, and it was inconvenient to say more, so we could only take this matter to heart.

A year later, not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it seemed that the next day, the little junior sister suddenly came to me alone and said that she wanted me to use the "Divine Sword Technique" to save her child.

It turned out that the third junior brother had already been flesh and blood with her, and a few days ago she was attacked by a mysterious person at the Nanli Inn in Weizhou, snatched the child, and left a note, asking her to bring "Divine Sword Technique" to exchange for the child, but she had no choice but to come to me.

At that time, I thought that if I could snatch the child from the hands of the little junior sister, the martial arts must not be low, and then I went down the mountain with the sword spectrum and came to Weizhou.

When the day of the appointment to change people, a group of black-clothed people intended to snatch the sword book and then escaped, I naturally would not hand over the sword book without seeing the child, they took advantage of my carelessness to catch the little sister and threaten me.

I thought that if I gave the sword book, the child would definitely not come back, so I made up my mind not to hand in the sword book, and finally the man in black finally agreed to hand over the child, but he was already dying.

In order to avoid recurrence, I handed over the sword book and let them leave, check the child's injuries, and it turned out that he was hit by a fire poison, which was difficult to get rid of, at this time, a group of demon sect people came, and carefully took away their mother and son, presumably it was the arrangement of the junior brother, and then I returned to Mount Tai. ”

Speaking of this, the master seemed to pause deliberately, and Qiu Xin asked, "Since the sword book has been handed over to that group of villains, where did the master's sword book come from?"

Master didn't expect Qiu Xin to ask such a question, and replied, "At that time, I only took the rubbing, and I didn't have the original, so I couldn't understand the mystery at all. When I returned to Mount Tai, news came that the Demon Sect had defeated the Taigu Huojian Sect and slaughtered the disciples of the sect.

My second junior brother hurriedly convened all the factions in the world to discuss countermeasures, and there was no result for a few days, and the alliance established was also in name only, when the army of the Demon Sect came to Mount Tai, the third junior brother said that he would hand over Qi Feng, the head of the Fire Sect, otherwise he would drive the Yin Sect out of Mount Tai.

Only then did I realize that the fire poison in the baby's body might have been caused by Qi Feng, so that the third junior brother would lose his mind like this, but at that time, there was no evidence, and the main problem was how to keep the Hidden Sect.

Handing over Qi Feng and disgraced the various factions is something that my second junior brother will not do, in fact, he didn't do it, I am afraid it is impossible for the third junior brother to take care of the old feelings, so I can only take one step at a time.

In Chongyang, Xiao Yun led the mighty army of the Demon Sect to attack Mount Tai together, and the factions were afraid of their own casualties, so they almost did not do anything to resist, and the Demon Sect captured Mount Tai all the way. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Xin roughly understood the reason, and listening to the master's tone, he was probably the child with fire poison in his body, and his father was the Demon Sect Leader Ying Tianxiao, and his mother was Lan Muyue.

But how did he get to this Qingsang Mountain, and where are his parents now? Master then said, "It seems that you have already understood your identity, after your father captured Mount Tai, on the one hand, he besieged the various factions of the righteous path in the Hidden Spirit Temple, and on the other hand, he brought a group of disciples to the Hanging Cliff Peak and asked me to hand over the sword book.

I originally thought that he was only angry with the righteous sects in order to avenge his wife and children, but it turned out that he was still thinking about the sword spectrum, it seems that he has fallen into the devil, and no one can stand such a huge temptation, and so am I.

In the face of the Demon Sect, I had to use the mastery of the sword spectrum, that is, that day, only three swords, and seriously injured your father, and the Demon Sect was leaderless for a while, and retreated. This averted a righteous catastrophe.

And then it was as in that book, and the right path flourished. After about three months, the news of your father's death came, and the taciturn second junior brother and I finally let go of the hatred in our hearts and secretly set up a wordless spiritual position in the Sword Hall.

Soon after, someone sent a coffin, put it at the foot of Mount Tai, said that I wanted to open it myself, and when I learned about it, I immediately went down the mountain, but it was the body of the little sister, and there was a baby next to the coffin, and there was a suicide note in the coffin.

The letter said that in order to relieve the fire poison in the child's body, despite the opposition of her junior brother, she went to the bitter cold land in the extreme north alone, found this jade pendant, and temporarily suppressed the toxin in the body.

Later, I buried the little sister on the mountain behind the hanging cliff peak, and offered its spiritual position next to the junior brother, I often think that there are only two of the four people left, and I also violated the rules of the door to steal the sword spectrum, I have been entrusted by the master on his deathbed, often can't sleep at night, I feel sorry for the hidden sect, sorry for the brothers and sisters, I will take you down the mountain.

Later, after several tosses, I came to this Qingsang Mountain, the cold carp in the mountain has a healing effect on the fire poison in your body, and the cold bed in the cave can also suppress the poison in your body, so I settled down, and this residence is more than ten years.

I have no way of knowing why there is only half of this jade pendant on your body, and you were born in the Mid-Autumn Festival and named Qiuxin, and I am afraid that your mother left Mount Tai after a little bit of sorrow, now that the sixteen-year period has arrived, I am also considered to have completed the trust of my sister', so I will tell you all this. ”

For more than ten years, Qiu Xin has asked about his life experience more than once, and the master has prevaricated in the past, and now that he has heard this past story, I am afraid that he is destined to have no chance to meet his biological father and mother in this life, and he will be depressed and wronged for no reason.

The young man said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you Master for your sixteen years of nurturing, and the autumn heart is unforgettable." The master looked at Qiu Xin, his eyes became more and more sad, and he wondered if he should not tell him this, whether these were too heavy for a sixteen-year-old boy, and he couldn't think of comforting words for a while, and the master and the apprentice were silent like this.

Master Qiu Xin really didn't want to see the child he brought up like this, so he said, "If your parents see in heaven that you are now an adult, they will be overjoyed, and besides, everything has its own certainty, so don't be sad. ”

Qiu Xin's eyes were dull at this time, and he was suddenly awakened by Master's words, so he said, "The apprentice is just difficult to accept for a while, Master must not worry, since Master told Qiu Xin this, Qiu Xin will go back." ”

After Qiu Xin left, the middle-aged man exhaled and said to himself with relief, "Xiaoyue, this kid really has the same character as you, I just hope he doesn't hate me as a master." ”

At this time, the sun has crossed the top of the mountain, shining on the snow-capped mountain again, starting a new day, just like starting a new life, warming the men on the mountain who have their hearts, and of course, Xiaobai who has their hearts.
