Chapter 6

Master is best at discovering the most special existence in us, such as the two silent eyes.

It was the "ghost eyes" that Master called the only one among thousands. After being passed down by Master as a secret method, I could no longer look at the silent eyes casually, because those two eyes could control other people's minds from a distance after being driven by his secret method. This shocked and alert, as well as the hidden fear in my heart.

When I began to believe that Master was really over a hundred years old, I realized that over those long years, his experiences, knowledge, and what he learned and what he did became a unique existence that could not be measured by value.

Later I learned that what Master taught us could not be measured by value. The process of learning, watching and doing while walking is not only experience, but also experience teaching us how to survive in the cruel world.

Teach by example and by deeds, be better at acting.

Master often warns us, "The foundation of martial arts lies in the body. Only with a strong body can you use profound martial arts. And the important thing about walking in the world is not only martial arts, but also keen judgment, the experience of the Taoist, as well as fickle scheming and decisive means."

The master’s method of teaching martial arts is unique, and the effect of our learning is naturally twice the result with half the effort. Those ten years of martial arts and silence have grown at an amazing speed that is different from ordinary people. Although Master does not expressly praise it, I can see from his eyes that he is very pleased.

He seemed to feel more and more intensely that he had really found the right two children.

But the longer I spent with my master, the more I felt that he seemed aimlessly traveling around for so many years, but in fact he was looking for other more important things or someone.

There are too many secrets hidden in the master's heart.

And I also understand that there are some things I can't know yet.

Before I was seventeen years old, my steps had already traveled all over the Central Plains with my master. I was once proud of it and thought I had already had good experience and vision.

But later my master told me that over the past hundred years, he had traveled many times in the entire Middle Land. He also told us that there are mountains and countries outside the mountains, and there are too many existences in this world that we have never seen before.

So a year later, Master took us on our second trip.

This trip took eight years.

In these eight years, our footprints have crossed Middle Earth and have been to many places and countries outside Middle Earth. I cannot calculate the scope of it.

The nearest place is that we have been to Fusang, to Goryeo and Dashi. There are many countries farther away from Middle Earth and more strange names. The people in those countries have never thought or seen their appearance, language, and living habits. They even have other colors in their hair, which really opened my eyes and I was secretly impressed. What impressed me the most was that in the distant West, people there believed in a sect with a cross mark. They regarded the founder of this sect as a savior and respected them devoutly. This made me think of the two Buddhist and Taoist sects in Middle Earth. Although these two sects were also very prosperous, the level of piety of believers was very different from that cross sect.

Those eight years of travel were completely different from those in the Central Plains. The process was full of unique novelty and stimulation, which made me sigh at the greatness of this world and sincerely realized how shallow what I knew before. Since then, I believe that there is still another world farther away from the place we have walked.

However, our master seemed to be at ease during his travels over the years. He was also very familiar with some customs and languages ​​of extraterrestrial countries, which made me even more impressed by him. During those eight years of travels, I not only enhanced my knowledge and silence, but also learned many different things, such as learning the language of Fusang and Dashi, as well as medical methods that are different from the Central Plains, etc.

I remember when I returned that year, I passed a snowy mountain that was so high that it was as high as the sky. My master suddenly told us that he had something to do and asked me and Chen Si to return to the outside world to wait for him first. Although Chen Si and I were suspicious, they did not dare to violate the teacher's order, so I had to go back first.

It took about three months after I returned to the outside world. But what shocked us was that the master was seriously injured and returned.

Although the master came back, his body was not damaged, but his spirit was extremely weak and he had already lost his previous calm expression. At that time, he had completely become an elderly man who was dying and vomiting blood from time to time. I and Chen Si knew that he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

I was shocked and silent, but at the same time I was extremely puzzled - is there any existence in this world that can hurt Master so seriously? What kind of thing is it?

I was at a loss with Chen Si for a while. We spent so many years with our master, and we traveled thousands of miles together, but at this time we deeply felt that we knew too little about him.

The ghost king Yuan Wuzong of a generation, everything he had seemed to be a mystery from beginning to end, a mystery that I have been solving for many years since then.

And we have clearly felt that the seriously injured Master has not had much time left, and his life is like sand in an hourglass, passing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

We are all sad, but we are helpless.

What can we do if even the master can’t deal with?

The master obviously didn't want to waste his time anymore. He just took a few simple rest and called me and Chen Si to his bed. I knew this should be his last instruction.

The master sat up slowly, leaned against the head of the bed, looking at his two apprentices.

His eyes were very calm and there was no emotional fluctuation.

I didn't say anything from Chen Si. I just stood quietly in front of him and listened to what he wanted to say.

The master's tone was very light, as if this was his last strength.

"My two disciples, this is the last time for my master to meet you. I know you have always had many problems with me, and I want to know what the situation of my master is now. But these are nothing more important, because this is my destiny. I have been waiting for this day for almost a hundred years, and I have been ready for it. I often told you that every choice a person makes will have a corresponding price, and today my result is the price I paid. So you don't have to be sad for me, but you should be happy for me, because I can finally get rid of this long and tormented life."

I suddenly felt like I wanted to cry and shed tears. I seemed to be able to feel the feelings of my master.

The long years of more than 130 years are the longevity that many ordinary people want, but it turns out that this kind of longevity is a painful torment in the Master.

The master sighed softly and continued, "The fruit I received at this time in Yuanwuzong is the cause I chose at the beginning. Don't be too obsessed with knowing the reason, it is the matter of my generation after all. The reason why I have never told you is that I don't want you to get involved in those grievances. The previous causes, whether right or wrong, have nothing to do with you, and everything should end with me."

"It is my luck to be able to meet you two as a teacher. But I don't know whether you entered Guiyin for this. Is this lucky or unfortunate? Looking back at that hundred years ago, Guiyin's lineage was famous all over the world, and its power was as high as the sky and spread throughout the Middle Earth. It's a pity that it was still unpredictable in the end, which triggered the tragedy of the same sects, causing Guiyin to be almost destroyed. Since then, Guiyin has never recovered and has never appeared in the world for a hundred years."

Both Shen Mo and I couldn't help but look shocked when they heard this. I couldn't help but think of the place in the valley full of tablets. The names on those tablets represent the glory of Guiyin, and perhaps witnessed the tragedy of his fellow disciples as mentioned by the master.

The master shook his head and sighed, his tone was extremely weak, and said, "I know you have always been very strange in your heart. Why do you only accept you two as disciples for your master? This reason is that the catastrophe of the same sect a hundred years ago had a deep feeling and influence on me. In this world, no matter how powerful a sect is, if no one can control his desires, it will inevitably lead to an extreme ending. So I have never appeared as the Ghost King for so many years, nor have I continued to revitalize the Ghost Hidden Sect because I can no longer find the meaning of continuing."

"That tragedy happened when I first became the Lord of Guiyin. Looking back now, if I hadn't been full of energy back then, I might have made a different choice, and that tragedy might have avoided. But even if I was a master of martial arts and had the talent of heaven and earth, what if I had seen all the vicissitudes of the world for a hundred years? I could never change what had happened. So later I began to shake my confidence and began to look for the meaning of Guiyin and my existence. Unfortunately, I still couldn't transcend myself for the past hundred years and could not find a reason to convince myself. The most tragic thing in life is that I don't know what I really want until the end of my life."

"I had thought about reviving the glory of Guiyin, but because I didn't know what the meaning of Guiyin's existence in the world was, I began to doubt my choice. However, Guiyin has been going on for hundreds of years since my generation, and I cannot let its name disappear from me. So I made up my mind to only accept two disciples at most to inherit Guiyin incense. As long as there are disciples in this world, the Guiyin lineage will not be ruined in my hands. And you have the opportunity to pass on the name of Guiyin from generation to generation, and at the same time save my wish to destroy the sinners of Guiyin Sect."

When the master said this, helplessness and guilt appeared in his eyes when he looked at us.

"I am tired of the world, tired of the long years, unable to follow the nature of my heart, and not fulfilling the responsibility of a sect leader. It is all due to my own selfishness. This is also the reason why I have never understood thoroughly. These selfishness and desires are the source of the existence of the inner demon. I chose you two, which is my last bet in my life. I only have one requirement for you, which is to pass on the name of the ghost hidden, and I will not impose other things that I have not found the answer to myself to let you complete for me."

The master paused for a while, and looked up at the void, as if his mind had already left his body. After a long time, he came back to his senses and continued: "Since you two are my disciples, you still have two or three things to explain before I die. Now in the Guiyin lineage, the real disciples are only three of us. But this does not mean that there are no other Guiyin people in the world. Those people were the sinners who caused the bloody crime of the same sect and were expelled from the Guiyin Sect wall. Although there are not many people, I don't know how many people they are left to live. I want to remind you to be careful of one person in the future. This person is my junior brother, and it is also the fate I have been looking for for the past hundred years. His name is Mei Yinhan."

When talking about the name "Plum Yinhan", I noticed that the master's pale face suddenly had a solemn look that I had never seen before. It was obvious that this person had an extraordinary influence on the master.

The master continued to say to us very seriously: "Mei Yinhan was the most talented and scheming among Guiyin's disciples a hundred years ago. If he hadn't had great ambitions and desires, Guiyin would not have reached a state of almost destruction. I don't want to hide it from you. I have taken you to wander around the world for so many years just to find him. My result is also thanks to him."

I felt a slump in my heart. Master was indeed looking for someone over the years. This person was found by Master three months ago and was seriously injured by him.

If the master said, then this person named Mei Yinhan is probably comparable to that of his master.

I suddenly felt a chill in my vest for no reason.

What kind of terrible and powerful existence would a person who could seriously injure the Ghost King Yuanwuzong in this world?

"Mei Yinhan is the fateful enemy of his life, and I have also owed a lot to him. During these long years, I have searched for his whereabouts at the end of the world, just to break up with him and pay back all the owes to him. So I am willing to become like this. I don't want to live with the guilt in my heart anymore." The master shook his head and sighed, and his tone was bleak.

What kind of grudges exist between Yuan Wuzong and Mei Yinhan that made a generation of ghost kings repay their lives?

The master's face became paler, and the injuries in his body were gradually taking away his last chance. He suddenly smiled bitterly, and then showed a look of relief, saying, "My grudge with him can finally end. What I want to warn you is that Mei Yinhan is a very dangerous and terrible person. With the current martial arts cultivation of the two of you, even if they join forces, they will not be his opponent. So I don't want you to seek revenge on me. If you unfortunately meet him in the future, you must try to avoid it. With his personality, if you know that you are my successors, I am not sure what he will do to you. I think you can all understand what I said: Only the alive have the opportunity to become the final winner."

Neither I nor Chen Si said anything, but just nodded solemnly.

"Very good, I know you guys will definitely remember. So this is the first thing."

The master nodded slightly and continued, "More than a hundred years ago, I traveled far away to the Northern Wilderness and accidentally came to a place that did not belong to the Middle Earth. There were a group of people who advocated martial arts. They called themselves the Tianluo clan. I met a person who was not a member of the Tianluo clan, but was the king of the Tianluo clan. He was in close god cultivation. We did not know each other until we fought each other and finally became friends. Unfortunately, he was obsessed with memories of the past and never appeared in the world, so there were almost no records of his existence in the world. Otherwise, with his ability, he would definitely be an existence that was unprecedented and no one after another. And the Seven Killing Swords and half-foot Red Dust on your body were given by him."

My heart trembled when I heard it. I never thought that there were people with "near gods" cultivation in this world! Judging from the master's tone and expression, he highly respected this friend.

I couldn't help but secretly sigh that the magical encounter of my master in this life can indeed be called a legend.

And I was a little excited at the same time because I actually had something close to the gods in my master's mouth, the folding fan!

"Because he had lost the memory that appeared before the Tianluo clan, he forgot his original name and everything before. When he appeared in the Tianluo clan, he became the god who could dominate everything with the power of absolute destruction. He was the Tianluo clan. It was not until he met a woman named Nian Haitang that he felt that survival had meaning, so he named himself Tianbugu. The most unexpected and lucky thing in my life was to meet the two of them." The master's divine thoughts fell into memories, as if that time a hundred years ago was still in front of him.

With a long sigh, the master smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that Tian Bugu was betrayed by his subordinates, and Haitang died because of this. Under his thunderous anger, the Tianluo tribe turned into a Shura hell of fire and blood. Countless Tianluo tribes became Nian Haitang's burial, and the Tianluo tribe was almost destroyed overnight. That was the most heartbreaking anger and the most desperate killing I had ever seen, but I could do nothing. In the end, Tianbugu was discouraged and sealed himself and Nian Haitang in the Jinghu Palace in the extreme north with the barrier of mechanisms. From then on, he was isolated from the world and did not know life or death."

I felt quite puzzled when I heard this. Why did a person with a close to the gods give up everything about himself for a woman? What kind of emotion is that?

"In that rebellion of the Tianluo clan, Tian Bugu almost destroyed the entire Tianluo clan with one person's strength, but the initiator of the rebellion stole half of Tian Bugu's secret record "Tianluo Martial Sutra" in the chaos and escaped from the unknown place. Before entering Jinghu Palace, Tian Bugu told me personally that the treasures he had accompanied him had disappeared strangely, and those things were related to the location and opening method of Jinghu Palace. He did not want him and Haitang to be disturbed by others in the last quiet place, so he asked me to know the whereabouts of those things in the future, he would definitely destroy them."

"Those things are, one is the fragment of the "Tianluo Wu Jing" which was stolen, the other is a sword called the Mo of the Gods, and the third is two divine Gu from ancient times, one Tai Sui, and the other is the Xuanqiong." The master had already started to speak very hard, and his body was gradually trembling. He knew that his limit was approaching, so he began to speed up his speaking speed. "Tianbugu is my only friend in my life, and I must complete his instructions. Because those missing things are also the main reason for the mutual destruction of Guiyin's fellow disciples, I had no time to go through for more than a hundred years, but I did not find any news. Now that my limit is here, I can only hand over this task to you."

The master suddenly coughed violently, a lot of blood rushing out of his mouth, and his chest was fluctuating violently. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain that extraordinary people could tolerate.

Shen Mo and I couldn't help but shed tears and fell to his knees together.

The master took a long breath, then suddenly grabbed our hands and heard him say, "There is one last thing. You all remember the situation when we were in the ruined temple? At that time, I said that in the future, one of you will combine the Ghost Hidden Ring Seal into one to become the real Ghost King, that is, the orthodox Ghost Heir, but you still don't know how to become the real Ghost King."

"I will tell you now how to combine the Guiyin Ring Seal into one." The master suddenly became very sad, helpless and painful, and he heard him murmuring: "That is to break your own destiny, and your destiny is you each other..."

Later, the words my master said became the reason why I left the world of dust and external conditions. I was even more awakened by that sentence in countless dreams that were late at night in the future.

I remember that after the master finished saying that, when I saw the silent face suddenly became bloodless. And I felt like a bolt from the blue.

Just when I was in a state of confusion with the silent mood, the master suddenly took a deep breath, and a divine light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his long hair and clothes were swelling without wind. Then I felt a heat from the hand and the pulse gate, and a surging and vast true energy came from the master's hand. He flipped and wandered all the way through the eight extraordinary meridians in his body, and finally gathered in his dantian. Its momentum was like a hundred feet of waves rushing, endless and surging.

I couldn't help but feel shocked, not knowing what Master did to us.

After a moment, the master let go, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he suddenly collapsed, as if all the bones in his body were removed in an instant.

But his face suddenly turned radiant.

He was already angry and empty-handed and returned to his mind.

The master smiled, laughing very relieved. I had never seen him laugh so naturally. Then he heard him say, "I accept you two as disciples, but I have never really given you anything. The separation is imminent. My cultivation for more than a hundred years is to be regarded as the last bit of my wish for you. How much I can inherit is your fortune. All I can do is this."

Both Chen Si and I were extremely shocked. It turned out that the master had already passed on all his life's skills to us.

"After I die, don't bury me with my ancestors. I don't have the qualifications." The master smiled and said, "I love freedom the most in my life, and I have lived freely for more than a hundred years, but only I know that my heart has never been free. This is really a sad thing for me. So I want you to cremate me and go with the wind, and don't let me trap in the darkness."

The master's eyes gradually dimmed, and he slowly lowered his head and said the last sentence in his life.

"Everyone has his own destiny. You may not be able to change it, but you have a more right choice, and the opportunity to choose is in your own hands."

The Ghost King Yuanwuzong of a generation died in the external realm of the holy land of the Ghost Yin Sect.

Following the Master's last words at the end of his life, I cremated his body with Chen Si and threw the ashes into the snow-capped mountains outside the dust. Looking at the ashes that dissipated with the wind, I seemed to see the Master's figure, floating away so freely and lightly.

That should be a complete liberation.

Three days later, I resolutely left the valley, left Guiyin Gate, and left Silence.

I would rather not see him again in my life than twenty years.

For things beyond my acceptance, if I don’t have the right to refuse, then I choose to escape.

I believe that as long as I am willing, I can make it never happen if the master gives the last explanation.
Chapter completed!
