The publicity period has not yet ended, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the old calendar has arrived in the New Year's dinner day by day.

Yu Mu's family and Sister Mai's family have developed the habit of eating together for the festival in various festivals, and now as soon as the Lantern Festival arrives, they will get together again, of course, in Yu Mu's new home.

Yu Mu's new house is big and spacious enough, and there is a rooftop with a big gazebo, Sasha likes it very much, and always asks her parents to take her to play, and she and her aunt Yu Mu also play like peers.

When the two families were happily eating and eating vegetables and eating Lantern Festival, Lao Mai, who had been smiling, smiled as if it was carved out of a knife, and it was obvious that there was a heavy heart on his chest, and he had to force a smile.

That morning, Ah Guang called to inform him that the sect leader Mu Qingzi summoned everyone to go to the small valley where he lived in seclusion and cultivated at about a quarter of a minute tonight, and had something to say, and especially emphasized that he must take Yu Mu with him, and there must be no mistakes.

Lao Mai felt worried all day long, and always felt that Mu Qingzi summoned people to go, as if he was going to explain the future, because it was not him who called, but asked Ah Guang to officially inform him.

Because he went to Mu Qingzi once a month to comb his body, he felt that his senior brother's body had been decaying at an accelerated pace, and it seemed that he couldn't withstand it for a few days, and there was no sign of rushing to the late stage of the advanced level.

Lao Mai has always suspected that Mu Qingzi has any plans to hide from him, but what else can a dying person hide and hide?

He was puzzled, and the food at the family banquet in the evening tasted like chewing wax, and the smile on his face was like wearing a clown smiley mask.

It is estimated that Mu Qingzi will call a lot of close people to go to the small valley, everyone has different skills, and many people may arrive at the mountain one after another.

After half past ten in the evening, the CCTV Lantern Festival party on TV ended, and Sister Mai's family had already driven home early, Yu Mu's parents were ready to go into the room to sleep, and the old people were used to going to bed early and getting up early.

Lao Mai excused himself to take Yu Mu out for a walk, said hello to the old man, and went out, took the elevator to the ground floor, and in the dim corridor, cast a spell to form an earth-based Gangqi body cover, wrapped Yu Mu, and the soil escaped.

Yu Mu thought that it was the senior brother who cast a spell to take her and Lao Mai over, Lao Mai told her that Mu Qingzi had something urgent to recruit them over, and felt very strange, why did she call them over so late?

Dozens of kilometers in a straight line, it must come in a flash, waiting for Yu Mu to step on the soft grass under his feet, open his eyes, and see that he is already standing in the familiar small valley.

Yu Mu walked in quickly on Lao Mai's back, and saw more than a dozen people standing in front of Mu Qingzi's cabin from a distance.

He put down Yu Mu closely, looked over one by one, and found that the third, fourth, and fifth masters and nephews, Ah Guang, Zhongyue Daoren, An Xuzi, Yunsheng and several other alchemy disciples, even the abbot of the Five Elephant Taoist Temple Qingxu were there, and there were a few people who did not know each other in Taoist or vulgar clothes, and later heard that Ah Guang said that he was the resident representative of other sects in the city.

The little Taoist boy and the little Taoist priest guarding the gate of the back mountain stood at the door of the cabin, and kept carrying some things out of the house, some were medicinal herbs, some were what materials, some were books, and some bottles and jars.

The two of them put these things out of the house next to the cabin, and then the little Taoist priest who guarded the door called Brother Guang, and Ah Guang hurriedly ran over and whispered something.

Ah Guang held a piece of talisman paper in his hand, turned around and spoke to everyone: "Qingfeng, Mingyue passed on the words of the ancestor master, the things that were moved out, everyone divided them according to their needs, several senior brothers of medicinal alchemy took them to dispense medicines, Uncle An took the exercise books to store, and other materials were kept by Uncle Zhongyue. ”

Lao Mai already knew that the teenage Taoist boy who never spoke was called Mingyue, and now he knew that the older Taoist priest who was guarding the back door of the small valley was called Qingfeng.

Ah Guang raised his voice and said: "Now, seniors and guests, please follow the list read below, divide it into order, and go to pay homage to the sect master, the sect master has something to say." ”

Then, according to the list, he said, "Please ask the Deputy Sect Master of the Seventh Ancestor Mai to pay homage to the Sect Master first." ”

Lao Mai helped Yu Mu's shoulders, nodded to her, and then let go of his hand and walked towards the cabin.

As soon as he walked into the cabin, he was immediately amazed when he took a closer look.

I saw Mu Qingzi described it as withered, sitting cross-legged on the futon, so thin that the eye frame was completely sunken in, but the eyes emitted a green and faint light, making him feel that his physical body was extremely weak, and his soul power was extremely strong, walking at two extremes.

"Senior brother in charge, you ......"

Mu Qingzi smiled with a blazing smile: "Brother is leaving, in the future, the sect will rely on the support of the junior brother, I have heard that you have done a good job this time, that is a good sign for carrying forward the great sect." ”

Lao Mai saw that Mu Qingzi spoke so directly as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was speechless for a while.

Mu Qingzi said: "The bottles and cans outside are worthless, let them divide it, your share is here." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to several large jade bottles on the table, which contained various pills, such as Juyuan Dan and Yinyuan Dan, as well as important pills such as the Piercing Cloud Pill.

Lao Mai carefully looked at the bottles of pills, and asked, "Senior brother, didn't you take the Piercing Cloud Pill and Juyuan Pill?"

"Hehe," Mu Qingzi said with a smile, "After taking some Juyuan Dan, it's useless, so I won't waste it." ”

Lao Mai couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Senior brother, haven't you cultivated during this time?"

Mu Qingzi sighed: "I've thought about it, my body is too rotten, and it is impossible to rush into the late stage of foundation building, so I will give up." ”

Old Maihu said suspiciously: "Could it be that you, senior brother, have been sitting and waiting for death for a while?"

Mu Qingzi smiled and said: "Senior brother, you are right, being a brother is waiting for death, calculating when he will die, and trying to find a time that is most conducive to his death, so as to facilitate reincarnation in the next life." ”

Lao Mai gasped when he heard this, this senior brother is really a wonderful person, is there really such a thing as reincarnation in the world? Is it possible that the reincarnation story of Yu Mu that he fooled will become a reality?

Mu Qingzi continued: "Thank you so much, junior brother, for giving me the breath to continue my life, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive this moment as a brother." ”

Lao Mai Qiang smiled and thought to himself, I am not going to comb your body to continue your life, but to delay the aging time of your body and give you support in the later stage of building the foundation.

He couldn't understand why Mu Qingzi would give up the opportunity to try to pass the level, but put his hope in the illusory afterlife, he repeatedly imagined that if the senior brother chose to rush the level, there would still be a certain percentage.

Mu Qingzi raised his head to the sky and sighed: "Alas, I finally figured out that today's zero hour after the Shangyuan Festival is the time when my soul is strongest and the most likely time to be reincarnated." ”

Only then did Lao Mai understand why he had just entered the door and saw that Mu Qingzi's soul power was so strong and his physical body was so weak.

He asked hesitantly, "Senior brother, do you think there is really such a thing as reincarnation?"

Mu Qingzi nodded and said, "There are reincarnations and reincarnations, it's true, junior brother, have you heard of the soul realm?"

"Soul Realm?" Lao Mai froze, "I've only heard of the Spirit Realm, it's my generation that has cultivated above the Yuan Infant Stage and needs to be broken into the Void before it can enter." ”

"Yes, the Soul Realm," Mu Qingzi affirmed, "Human beings die naturally, and the soul ascends to heaven must enter the Soul Realm, and then wait for reincarnation, some are reincarnated, and some are reincarnated." ”

Lao Mai asked blankly, "What is the soul world like?"

Mu Qingzi sighed and said: "This brother doesn't know, only people who know that natural death can fly into the soul realm, people who die horizontally are angry, their souls can't fly, they are easy to dissipate, if they gather in a place where yin qi is heavy, ghosts will be formed, wandering can't do it, and if they are locked in a corpse, they will become zombies." ”

In fact, these common-sense things are understood by the older generation of cultivators, that is, Lao Mai, who became a monk halfway, has never heard of it.

Mu Qingzi said quietly: "When the soul of my brother enters the soul realm, I will understand, but I can't tell you that after reincarnation, there will be no memory left, even if the myth says that it is true, drinking Meng Po soup is true, and the memory is even blank after reincarnation." ”

Lao Mai listened to him more and more mysterious, but he couldn't think of a few words to say, and his eyes unintentionally fell on the table, where in addition to some jade bottles, there was also the old bonsai with strange trees.

Mu Qingzi saw him looking at the strange wood bonsai, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you pack up the jade bottle and go out first, for my brother I have something else to tell them, by the way, I finally want to talk to the little girl Yu Mu and give her this bonsai, I finally figured out that this strange wood is the mother plant, which is very good for her own spiritual cultivation." ”

Lao Mai knelt on the futon, lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Senior brother in charge, go all the way." ”

"Go ahead," Ki Aoko smiled kindly.

Lao Mai put away the jade bottle on the table, exited the cabin, and returned to Yu Mu, who had been holding his arms.

Yu Mu hugged Lao Mai's right arm tightly, stared at him with innocent eyes and asked in a low voice, "Brother Mai, is Senior Brother going to heaven?"

Lao Mai looked at her and replied, "Brother I want to see you in a while, he promised to give you bonsai." ”

"Oh," Yu Mu nodded nervously.

One by one, the various people standing outside the hut bowed their heads and walked in, and after a while they came out, waiting on the grass outside with solemn expressions, and Lao Mai also noticed that all the materials, books, and bottles and cans that had just been piled up on the ground had all disappeared.

The third disciple Liu Zhongming, the fourth disciple Fang Zhonghua, the fifth disciple Xu Zhongxian, the abbot of Qingxu, An Xuzi, Zhongyue Daoren, the alchemy disciple Yunsheng, etc., as well as the representatives of other major sects in the city, with real or pretended sadness, all went in one by one to pay homage to Mu Qingzi, the leader of the Jinshi Sect.

In the end, only Yu Mu was left and did not go in, and even Ah Guang went in with a heavy face to listen to the teachings for a while, and withdrew with a piece of talisman paper.

I saw Ah Guang holding up the yellow mounted talisman paper, and read it out loud: "Now, Xuan Zong's decree, Yu Tian's mandate has arrived, and the sect will continue to be a great task, and the special transmission of Yu Zhi's seventh junior brother and deputy sect master Mai Zhijiade is the next generation of the sect master, that is, the seventeenth generation of the Jinshi Sect, choose the time to worship the ancestor, Keri takes office, and the sect is safe and all the people must abide by the law, and must not violate, and the violators will be expelled from the sect and will never be included. ”
