Chapter 224: Responsibility
"So, what do you mean?"
Xu Chen tilted his head and said sincerely: "Senior, well, please say it directly." ”
I saw that this array master slowly took out a thin booklet from his arms, which was shabby, but there was no sign of falling off.
The old formation master slowly handed it to Xu Chen's side, and said calmly: "This is the prince's letter to let me bring over, of course, this is also the meaning of the national teacher." ”
"This was picked up by a military general on the battlefield during a skirmish on the border decades ago, and this matter has been concealed because it is ......"
Xu Chen rubbed his head and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that this kind of cultivation method is the Demon Sect's kung fu?"
"Not bad. ”
The old array master replied slowly, and said thoughtfully: "However, no one would have imagined that after many understandings, this book comes from a Taoist temple in Beiqiang, a Taoist temple of the Han people. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Chen suddenly thought of something, that is, when she was chatting with Leng Xue that day, she overheard that in the sporadic battle, she saw a person who looked like a Taoist priest, it was a Taoist priest from Beiqiang.
The formation master then narrated: "So, the national teacher guessed back then that it was the remnants of the Demon Sect. ”
When he heard the word Yu Sin, Xu Chen frowned, I have to say that he has no good impression of the Demon Sect, although he is also very likely to be the descendant of the Demon Sect, but he is definitely not the Demon Sect himself, although he also wants to avenge his family, but he does not think that what his family did back then was right.
However, the word remnant is so harsh.
Of course, Xu Chen was still rational, he knew that the formation master in front of him didn't know his background, so he immediately filtered out those harsh words.
"Decades ago, the sect hidden in the Central Plains of the Demon Sect was wiped out by the righteous path of the Central Plains, and even the mysterious Demon Sect Mountain Gate heard that it was cut into ruins by a senior master with a single sword, but still no one found the book of heaven. ”
Breaking into the mountain with a single sword and slashing the Demon Sect Mountain Gate into ruins, listening to the deeds of the senior masters, Xu Chen seemed to see those pictures in the past, his mood was agitated, and his skin was slightly numb, but he didn't know why, he faintly felt that the senior master should have something to do with him, at least with the academy.
"Who is that senior?"
"I don't know, but I do know that it has something to do with the military. ”
“......”
"Since there is no Heavenly Book in the Demon Sect Mountain Gate, there is only one possibility, that is, as early as a thousand years ago, it had been taken to Mobei by the Qiang people. The land of Mobei is bitter cold and far away, and it is the border of others, so the cultivators of the Central Plains have never really been there to explore carefully. ”
Hearing this, Xu Chen finally understood why the imperial court attached so much importance to and feared Ximen Wang, and this fear was not because of his mercenary self-respect, but about the Taoist priest of Beiqiang.
From the emperor to the peddler's pawn, everyone in the world knows that the Seven Heavenly Books are the classics of the Demon Sect, but almost everyone doesn't know what the Seven Heavenly Books are and what they record on them.
It's just that at least one person has seen the first volume of the book that day at this time, and that is him and Tang Yan.
On the same day, in the Heavenly Volcano, Xu Chen and Tang Yan were trapped in it, and inadvertently came to that mysterious cave, the pain naturally did not need to be said, but at that time, he really saw it, the book that day was not called the Book of Heaven, but called the Book of Heaven, but unfortunately the world has never seen it, and can only sporadically hearsay, calling it the Book of Heaven.
It's a pity that although Xu Chen saw it with his own eyes, although Xu Chen could see what Tang Yan couldn't see at that time, the true meaning of it was something he couldn't understand.
The first volume of the Book of Heaven is no different from ordinary heavy books, it is a general introduction to the books, as well as the central idea, so the exercises and skills of the real Demon Sect and other things, Xu Chen is difficult to get a glimpse of.
For some reason, his thoughts flew to Tang Yan again, and it had been a month, and for some reason, he was very worried about Tang Yan's situation at this time.
Demons are demons after all, but there is no certain rule of time, at least Xu Chen thinks that this is the case, choice, this is everyone's right.
Even if you are in adversity, even if you think you don't have the right to choose, in fact, you still have the right to choose death, and you still have the right to choose not to choose.
He hoped that Tang Yan would be the same as him, although he was a descendant of the Demon Sect, they could choose the righteous side.
Although he had also argued with the sect in the sect of the Demon Sect about the history of the Demon Sect and the morality of the Demon Sect, it was just an argument, and it was just an inner outlet for his life experience.
He naturally resented the people who killed his entire family back then, but time was not only for those who were mercenary, but also for ordinary people.
There are many legends about the Seven Heavenly Books, some people say that the Book of Heaven records the will of the mysterious realm transmitted to the world, some people say that the Book of Heaven records the prophecy of world affairs, some people say that the Book of Heaven itself is a supreme magic weapon that condenses the power of heaven and earth, and there are also rumors that mortals can practice by looking at the Book of Heaven, practitioners can break through the realm with a glance at the Book of Heaven, the ghosts in the underworld can be purified and reborn with a glance at the Book of Heaven, and the saints can become immortals with a glance at the Book of Heaven.
Xu Chen had heard of these legends, but at that time, his life was too far away from things like the Seven Heavenly Books, and he didn't care at all, and even didn't believe in the existence of the Heavenly Books, but a month ago, he finally knew that the Seven Heavenly Books were true, but he still didn't believe those rumors, and felt that the Seven Heavenly Books were more likely to be some kind of secret of the Dao Gate, some kind of earth-shattering peerless cultivation method.
At this time, he did not know that his name had appeared in a letter, and that a middle-aged man had transcribed him on an "ordinary" book.
............
"The Book of Heaven is very important, everyone wants it, but what does it have to do with me?"
After all, he used to be a disciple of the Duishan Sect, which is a place of cultivation that the world calls the Supreme, although the strength realm is still a little too weak now, but it is more or less contaminated with the infatuation and pride of some of the senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain, Xu Chen was not shocked by the name of the Seven Heavenly Books for too long, and soon came to his senses, looked at the formation master and asked.
The formation master glanced out the window, leaned into his ear and whispered: "I passed through Wuxian Town when I came, and the national teacher asked me to bring you a message, now is an extremely uneasy time, countless pairs of eyes are looking at him and the prince, so it is inconvenient for him to travel, but the matter of the Book of Heaven is very important, so ......"
"So this matter fell on my head?" Xu Chen asked as he stared at him.
"That's right, even this piece of cloth with blood written on it was ordered by the National Teacher himself, and he sent someone back to the capital, and brought it from the capital to show you. ”
Xu Chen stared at the snowflakes floating outside the window, silent for a long time, and suddenly he asked, "What does the Book of Heaven look like?"
The formation master replied respectfully, "I don't know, I heard that the seven heavenly books are different. ”
Xu Chen's gaze fell on his face, and he continued to ask: "That Beiqiang's volume, the size, the size always has a range, right?"
The formation master replied honestly, "I don't know. ”
Xu Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly, forcibly suppressed his emotions, and then asked, "What is the first volume of Beiqiang?"
The formation master shook his head and said, "I still don't know. ”
Xu Chen said angrily: "I don't know anything, let me find it!"
The formation master looked at him with an innocent expression, and said, "Even that Xuanwei real person, I don't know if he has seen the Book of Heaven, how can an ordinary person like Beizhi know?"
Xu Chen's brows furrowed even deeper.
"My lord, you are a friend of the crown prince and the future national teacher of my Chaoyang Empire. ”
The formation master said calmly, but was directly interrupted by Xu Chen, "What future national teacher?"
"Humph!"
The formation master smiled and snorted coldly, he thought that Xu Chen was pretending to be garlic, but when he looked at Xu Chen's sincere eyes for a long time, he seemed to see something, and said leisurely: "In this life, Master Lu Yin has been looking for another extremely talented disciple, why, why is he so harsh in choosing disciples?"
"Why?"
Xu Chen looked up and repeated the other party's words.
"Haha. ”
The old formation master burst into a burst of unbridled laughter again, "Because he is looking for a successor, otherwise why would he ignore the possible reproach of the Shan Sect for you." Then what kind of successor do you say he is looking for, is it really a little talisman?"
"Little talisman?"
Xu Chen looked at the other party in surprise, and said in his heart, the talisman master is not small, at least he hasn't started yet.
The old formation master stroked his beard and smiled and said: "You will borrow the class of Feiyun Dao in the future, that is, the head of Feiyun Dao, of course, you will also take over the class of the national teacher, that is, another national teacher of the Chaoyang Empire after the crown prince ascended the throne." ”
Obviously, the words of the old formation master made it very difficult for Xu Chen to accept it instantly.
Xu Chen was stunned, so he didn't care about the top legends in the cultivation world at all, and he had never heard of Lu Yin's mind that was more legendary than those top legends.
After the formation master left, Xu Chen sat by the window and watched the wind and snow coming from the direction of the wasteland, thinking for a long time.
It wasn't until today that he found out that after entering the Duishan Sect, he still underestimated himself, and he didn't expect that even a legendary-level item like the Seven Heavenly Books would begin to contact him, and he knew that this was the case, he was using his sword to buckle down the stone wall, and he also wanted to bring out the first Heavenly Book, but it was already too late.
He didn't know if he could go back to the Heavenly Volcano, even if he went back, whether the cave could still be found, and even if he did, whether he could take the Heavenly Book away, this was all a question.
Suddenly, he remembered that the Great General's Mansion of Wuxian Town had sent someone to disguise himself as a caravan to enter the wasteland, and his eyebrows slowly frowned, could it be that Ximen Wang also wanted to get the scroll of the Heavenly Book that had been lost for thousands of years? If this was the case, then it seemed that no matter how difficult it was, he had to plan well for what happened after entering the wasteland.
......
Xu Chen does not have any superfluous moral cleanliness in his bones, especially after he was sent to the Bai family when he was a child, although he has a trace of kindness in his heart, he also sees that the disguise and fickleness of the world can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
And today, can he sit with the same people for a while?
That kind of trick looks bloody and glorious, directly broke into the general's mansion, fought this blood, and was able to kill a fake general last time, so will it be possible to kill a real general this time?
But in his opinion, it is nothing more than self-defeating idiot, you die in style, and Simon Wang is better to sit upright on the table, and maybe make a wine glass with your head. When the time comes, you will stare at each other in vain with your black hole and hole in your eyes, and you will not be able to hurt each other's hair.
This does not mean that a clear understanding of Ximenwang's great strength will make him cowardly, and he has always secretly watched this great general with great achievements, carefully looking for loopholes in the other party.
However, before he could figure out how to use the academy to deal with Ximen Wang, he heard the news that a certain volume of the Seven Heavenly Books had been abandoned in the wasteland. Thinking of the caravan that quietly disguised and sneaked out of Wuxian Town, he felt slightly anxious, if he really let Ximen hope to get the book of heaven and break through the realm as easily as rumored, then who else could clean him up?
