"What!? You said that my master also practiced ghost arts!?" I didn't expect Ma Yuanjing to say that, and I couldn't help but be shocked, because in my impression, master is almost the embodiment of justice, and he hates him the most.
How can you, a demon, practice extremely dangerous and evil ghost techniques?
I immediately concluded in my heart that Ma Yuanjing was lying! What I hate the most is someone saying something bad about my master, let alone slandering him. Suddenly, a surge of anger surged into my heart, and I almost didn't go forward to fight him. But in the end, I still
After holding it back, I temporarily suppressed the anger in my heart and said coldly: "Sister Ma, you are already halfway through the gate of hell. Do you still need to fool around with a junior like me!?"
Ma Yuanjing seemed to have expected that I wouldn't believe it. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said calmly: "I know you won't believe me, and I don't expect you to. But now that we have said it, then
Just please listen to what I have to say!"
"Okay! Just tell me!" I don't know why, even though I felt that he was lying, I wanted to hear him continue.
Ma Yuanjing picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and took a sip, then continued to tell: "Master and Junior Brother Mo secretly practiced ghost magic. I didn't know about it at first, until one day, Master suddenly seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.
, completely lost his mind and actually attacked me, I
I thought he was possessed by an evil spirit, so I quickly used exorcism tools to help him exorcise the evil spirits, but it had no effect. Just when I was at a loss, Master's mood slowly returned to normal, but his body became very weak.
, as if he had a serious illness. Only then did he
Tell me, in fact, he has been secretly practicing ghost arts. He thought that with his cultivation, he could control the evil spirits in his heart, but he never thought that he had miscalculated. Because his vitality was almost exhausted, the master knew that
Time is running out, and what he is most worried about is Junior Brother Mo.
Because he knew that Junior Brother Mo was also secretly practicing the art of ghosts, he thought over and over again and decided to divide the strange book "Yin Yang Xuan Shu" into two, and handed the book of Yin into my hands, asking me to find a
The place hid the Yin Book to prevent Junior Brother Mo from continuing to practice evil arts."
"Then you took the Yin Book away?"
Ma Yuan nodded and said, "I followed what the master told me, so I left with the Yin Book of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu". However, I never expected that the master would pass away soon, and Junior Brother Mo and Junior Brother Huang
Therefore, it was thought that I injured the master and took away half a volume of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu"."
"In that case, why don't you explain it clearly to them?"
Ma Yuanjing sighed and said: "Oh, why don't I want to explain it to them! But think about it, why did Master not tell them the truth in person before he died? I thought about it carefully
, I feel that the master must have something to hide. Most likely, he doesn’t want others to know that he is secretly cultivating ghosts.
The matter of the art of Tao. After all, this is not a glorious thing for people in the righteous way, and the master has always valued his own reputation. Therefore, if I tell the two junior brothers the truth, I am afraid that the master’s reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life.
It was destroyed once, and the master has passed away, how can I let him have a bad reputation after his death!"
Ma Yuanjing's words surprised me. Although I still doubted what he said, it seemed logical. If what he said was true, then there was really a huge misunderstanding between them.
.
But after all, this was just Ma Yuanjing's one-sided statement, and there was no circumstantial evidence. Naturally, I would not believe it easily. I pondered for a moment, raised my head and said, "I can't get involved in the grievances of the previous generation, but I will tell Master Huang about this.
I think he will naturally find out the whole truth."
Ma Yuanjing waved his hand and said: "Since I took this matter on my own back then, I no longer care what Junior Brother Huang thinks of me! The reason I'm telling you this is not because I want you to explain it to me, but just
I feel that Junior Brother Mo’s death may have something to do with his practice of ghost skills.”
As soon as I heard that he mentioned master again, my face immediately darkened and I said loudly: "Impossible! Master, there is no way he can practice ghost arts! You'd better stop making excuses about my master, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about you.
He is my uncle."
Ma Yuanjing smiled and said: "Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it. In any case, the matter is over, and there is no point in delving into the truth." At this point, he changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore, anyway.
Let’s talk about that copper bell. That copper bell is the only token related to Master in my hand, so please return it to me no matter what.”
He spoke sincerely. In fact, I can understand his feelings very well. Just like the bronze compass passed down to me by my master back then, I accidentally bumped it when I was going to Shao Yuanjie's tomb, which made me feel heartbroken for a long time.
, and then he put the compass away and never took it out for use again. After the master left, the things he left behind naturally became particularly precious.
From this point of view, I should return the bronze bell to Ma Yuanjing, but the problem is that this bronze bell is the key to finding the divine tripod hidden by King Yu, so I cannot return the bronze bell to him now.
I thought for a moment and said: "Logically speaking, the copper bell belongs to you, and you are my elder master, so I should return the copper bell to you. However, I still have use for this copper bell.
, so I can’t give it to you now, please forgive me!”
Ma Yuanjing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want this copper bell for?"
I didn't want to tell her at first, but I thought that I would have to ask him for the half volume of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu" in his hand. If I didn't tell her clearly, I'm afraid he might not be willing to give me the half volume of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu".
So he turned to Huang Si who was standing aside and said, "Brother, you don't have anything to do here. You can go down first!"
Huang Sizheng got what he wanted, so he immediately nodded and ran towards the stairs quickly.
After Huang Si came down the stairs, I said to Ma Yuanjing: "Uncle Ma, you must have heard from our master about the origin of this bronze bell, right?"
Ma Yuan nodded: "The copper bell is a treasure passed down by the master. It is said to be made from the fragments of the demon-conquering cauldron cast by King Yu to suppress the river demons. There are two parts, yin and yang. The master passed it down to me and me.
Junior Brother Mo has one for each person."
I had no intention of telling him that there were actually five copper bells, so I took over his words and said, "That's right! Then you know that these two copper bells are actually clues to finding an artifact!"
"Sacred weapon!?" Ma Yuanjing had a look of surprise on his face.
I continued: "Besides the copper bell, there is another thing passed down from our master's sect. In this thing, there is a secret picture hidden. This secret picture is also related to the artifact."
"Is there such a thing? May I ask what it is?"
I answered word for word: "Yin Yang Xuan Shu"!
Ma Yuanjing was even more shocked: "What! You...you mean, there is a secret map hidden in that strange book "Yin Yang Xuan Shu"!?"
I nodded: "That's right! There are interlayers on the cover and back cover of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu", and in each interlayer, half of the secret map is hidden! Speaking of this, I am actually looking for you to give me the half of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu".
Bring back "Yin Yang Xuan Shu" because half of the secret map is in the middle cover of the back cover of this book."
After listening to what I said, Ma Yuanjing fell into deep thought. He lowered his head and frowned. He was silent for a long time. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and said to me: "Could you be doing that to save that person?"
You took back the Yin Book of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu", so you deliberately made up a lie to fool me, right?"
I said with great disdain: "You think I want to practice ghost magic? To tell you the truth, I really don't like ghost magic."
"It's just a ghost technique? Don't utter arrogance! If you practice the ghost technique recorded in the Yin Book, you can penetrate Yin and Yang. If it weren't for practicing the ghost technique that is extremely dangerous, which onmyoji wouldn't want to
Study! Master was also worried that someone would go astray again, so that year
When the Yin book was handed over to me, he repeatedly told me not to return it to anyone in my sect." When Ma Yuanjing said this, he paused for a moment and changed the topic: "However, Master also said that this
This strange book hides a shocking secret, and the silver book must not be destroyed easily."
When I heard this, I immediately said: "Master's intention is to ask you to hand over this book at the critical moment!"
Ma Yuan nodded: "So, if, as you said, there really is a secret map hidden in the Yin Book, I can give it to you."
I didn't expect Ma Yuanjing to agree so quickly, and I couldn't help but feel happy. Unexpectedly, he said again: "However, your words are unfounded. If you want me to believe it, you have to provide evidence!"
"Evidence? What evidence?" I was slightly startled.
Ma Yuanjing spread his hands in front of me: "Show me the other half of the secret map, and I will believe you."
I didn't expect him to make this request. Although his request sounded reasonable, I thought about it and still didn't plan to show him the half of the secret map in my hand, because it was the first time for me to meet him, and he
His reputation is just like that, and what he says may not be true, so it's better to be wary of him.
I pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't have the half of the secret map with me, but it's not difficult to prove that I'm not practicing ghost arts."
"Oh? Then how do you plan to prove it?" Ma Yuanjing asked.
I smiled slightly and without saying anything else, I summoned Wuchenzi from the stone tablet on my chest.
When the mist-like Wuchenzi appeared in front of us, Ma Yuanjing opened his mouth in shock, and Xiong Sangen, who was standing behind him, changed his face with fear. He immediately took out a paper charm from his body and pinched it.
In his hand, his trembling lips were still muttering something in a low voice.
