Chapter 962: The reunion of master and apprentice is like a stranger
"Guests please come in."
The sound of the kingfisher sounded.
The gray-haired young man outside the door smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
He stepped into the courtyard and looked around. When he saw Su Yi sitting in the wicker chair under the ancient tree, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
It’s this boy again!
The gray-haired young man still remembered that when Thunder Flame Demon King Chonglu entered the City of Eternal Night today, he followed the young man in green robe.
He also remembered that when he saw this young man from a distance, he felt an indescribable familiarity in his heart, which was very strange and abnormal.
This allowed him to predict that there was something wrong with this young man's identity!
However, the gray-haired young man did not expect to see this boy again in the courtyard of the watchman.
In particular, the other party was so comfortable, lying lazily on a wicker chair with a plump orange cat in his arms, drinking alone, without even raising his eyelids when he saw him entering the courtyard.
"Sure enough, this young man is an extraordinary person, but...why do I feel a strange, familiar feeling in my heart?"
The gray-haired young man frowned slightly.
While he was thinking, he had already stepped into the hall not far away.
And just as he disappeared, Su Yi said casually: "Remove the restriction, I want to hear what he wants to do here."
"yes."
The orange cat quickly agreed.
…
In the hall, a lantern shines alone.
The watchman in a black cloth robe sat in the shadows, with a kingfisher on his shoulder.
"I've met senior."
The gray-haired young man stepped forward and nodded slightly.
The old man smiled and said indifferently, "Why are you here?"
The gray-haired young man pondered for a moment and said, "Two things."
The old man said: "Let's talk about the first thing first."
The gray-haired young man nodded and said: "I came to the Netherworld this time because I actually wanted to find out from my seniors where the sword master Xuanjun went when he was wandering the sea of suffering."
The old man's cloudy eyes were slightly strange, and he sighed softly: "My child, are you unwilling to call Master Xuanjun Master now?"
The gray-haired young man's eyes suddenly shrank, and he immediately sighed in admiration: "Everyone says that there is nothing in this sea of suffering that the night watchman in the City of Eternal Night does not know. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved."
The old man waved his hand and said: "Don't say these useless pleasantries. Hundreds of years ago, when your senior brother came to the Netherworld, he also asked me about this matter, but I didn't tell him.
You are no exception."
The gray-haired young man was startled, "Why is this?"
The old man said softly: "If you bully your master and destroy your ancestors, you will eventually be looked down upon by others."
The gray-haired young man frowned, and his eyes were like whirlpools that made one's heart palpitate, "Senior, I'm afraid I don't understand anything about my Taixuan Cave Heaven..."
When he was about to say something, the old man waved his hand and interrupted: "Let's talk about the second thing."
There was an obvious look of anger between the gray-haired young man's brows.
After a moment of silence, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said, "I want to find out who bought all the Wheel of Life Stones in the dark market today."
The old man raised his eyes, stared at the gray-haired young man for a moment, and then said: "The dark market has its rules, and I will not break them without authorization."
The gray-haired young man took a deep breath, smiled, but the smile had no emotion, and said: "Could it be that senior has some objections to me?"
The old man looked calmly and said, "No matter who comes to me, I will be able to respond to my requests."
The gray-haired young man shook his head and said: "I have nothing more to ask for today. I just want to say that before, I just didn't want to reveal my identity, so I called the master by the name of 'Xuanjun Sword Master'."
"In addition, before my master passed away, I had never betrayed my sect, but my senior said that I deceived my master and destroyed my ancestors. Isn't this a bit too much?"
No doubt he was angry.
The old man smiled and said, "Really? It seems I misunderstood."
The gray-haired young man thought for a while and said, "Senior, can you please tell me some answers I want to know for the sake of my master?"
The kingfisher's eyes are a little strange.
In the courtyard, the orange cat's eyes also looked a little strange.
Only Su Yi, lying in the wicker chair, remained silent.
The old man said softly: "Tell me the purpose of your coming to the sea of suffering. I don't mind answering your first question. Remember, what I want to hear is the truth."
The gray-haired young man was silent for a moment and said: "I heard a rumor that my master probably did not pass away, but was reincarnated. Therefore, under the instruction of the senior brother, I came to the Netherworld in person to explore."
The old man's eyes flashed, "So you have already made contact with the four disciples of Bhimana?"
The gray-haired young man nodded and said: "Yes, it was they who told me that my master had entered the Burial Path Underworld a long time ago, and that this ruins seems to contain secrets related to reincarnation."
The old man asked again: "If you finally find out that your master has indeed been reincarnated, what will you do?"
The gray-haired young man fell silent immediately.
Immediately, he frowned and said, "Senior, these things don't seem to have much to do with you, right?"
The old man said: "That's all, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve robe, thought about it for a moment, and then used his spiritual consciousness to carve it into the jade slip.
After a while, he handed the jade slip to the gray-haired young man through the air, "Inside this jade slip are some places where your master once struggled in the sea of suffering."
The gray-haired young man's expression softened a lot, "Thank you, senior."
The old man said: "Before I leave, do you want to hear one more word from me?"
The gray-haired young man was slightly surprised and said, "But it doesn't matter."
The old man's eyes were reserved and he said: "There is no end to the sea of suffering, but when you turn around, you will reach the shore."
The gray-haired young man was startled, as if he had guessed the intention of the old man's words. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "How many people in this world know what happened in Taixuan Cave Heaven back then?"
After that, he turned around and left.
The old man sitting in the shadow watched the other party leave and sighed softly.
…
When the gray-haired young man walked out of the hall, he planned to leave directly, but when he saw the young man in green robe sitting under the ancient tree, he stopped.
After thinking about it, the gray-haired young man stepped forward, stared at Su Yi's face, smiled and said: "Friend, do you think it's strange? It's obviously the first time I've seen you, but I feel like I've seen you before somewhere.
."
Su Yi raised his eyes and looked the gray-haired young man up and down, and said: "It's not surprising at all, this is called Yuanfa."
"Yatefa?"
The gray-haired young man smiled and said, "It's interesting. How about I ask my friend his name?"
Su Yi gently touched the fur of the orange cat in his arms with his fingers and said absently: "You will know later."
"Really? Then I'm looking forward to that day."
The gray-haired young man laughed and said, "By the way, don't blame me for talking too much. The Thunder Flame Demon King Chonglu has been targeted by people from the other side gate. You have to be careful and don't get involved. Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to say."
."
After that, he turned around and left.
He is just a young man, with a bone age of eighteen years at most, and his cultivation level is only at the spiritual wheel level, and his origins are mysterious at best.
It's not worthy of his attention.
However, when the gray-haired young man walked to the courtyard door, Su Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Take care of yourself."
There were only four words, but the meaning behind them made the gray-haired young man frown and said, "What does this mean, friend?"
Su Yi ignored it and lowered his head to pet the cat.
Seeing this, the gray-haired young man suddenly smiled and turned around.
After walking out of the courtyard, the smile on the gray-haired young man's face disappeared little by little, and a heart-stopping light shone in the depths of his eyes.
"Little guy, if you are trying to trick me, don't let me catch you."
He murmured in his heart.
What really puzzled him was the attitude of the watchman.
Why does the old man who has lived for so many years regard himself as a traitor who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors?
And why do you beat yourself up with the sentence "There is no end to the sea of suffering and you will finally find the shore" before you leave?
"This watchman must know many things related to the master. Unfortunately, his strength is unfathomable, and this city of eternal night is his territory. There is no way to force him to tell the truth."
The gray-haired young man sighed inwardly.
He shook his head, thought no more, turned around and left.
He planned to find out more about who bought the Wheel of Three Lives Stone. If he didn't solve the matter, he would never be able to get over it.
In the courtyard.
The mottled light and shadow of the lantern reflected on Su Yi's handsome face, making his calm expression become uncertain.
The orange cat felt inexplicably depressed and anxious.
It always feels that Mr. Su is in danger at this moment!
"Fellow Taoist, if you had spoken out before, I would have helped you keep him."
In the hall, the watchman's voice came out, "But you don't seem to have any intention of doing this."
Su Yi said softly: "I won't do this until I have a thorough understanding of what happened back then. Otherwise, I might alert the enemy."
"Snatch the enemy from the grass?"
Da Geng said, "You mean Bhimo?"
Su Yi casually said: "Including Qingtang."
After he was reincarnated, suddenly, too many unexpected things happened. Now that he thought about it, there were quite a few strange things among them. He didn't want to let his disciples know that he had reincarnated and returned too early.
The watchman was silent for a moment and said: "In my opinion, that little guy just now doesn't look like someone who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors."
Su Yi laughed and said, "I hope so."
The gray-haired young man from before was named Ye Luo, the sixth true disciple he accepted back then!
In the wilderness, Ye Luo may not be as famous as Bima, nor as talented as Qingtang, but he is a rare embryo of swordsmanship.
His temperament may seem cynical, but in fact he is as solid as iron and is decisive in killing.
Back then, the Three Life Cycle Stones collected by Su Yi in the sea of suffering were given to Ye Luo, and they played an incredible role when Ye Luo broke through the mysterious realm.
But Su Yi didn't expect that he would see his successor again on the watchman's territory today, and that one of the purposes of his visit was to collect the Wheel of Three Lives Stones.
"Xuan Ning is right. Ye Luo has indeed joined the Xuanjun Alliance and is on the same side as Bima."
Su Yi said to himself.
As early as when he was in Cangqing Continent, he knew from the mouth of his seventh disciple Xuan Ning that his third disciple Huo Yao, his fourth disciple Jin Kui, and his sixth disciple Ye Luo had joined the Xuanjun Alliance founded by the eldest disciple Bima!

ps: I wrote once before that Aunt Su’s fourth disciple was named “Wo Sao”, but it was accidentally occupied by the Cui family’s Ten Thousand Dao Tree Spirit Body “Wo Sao”. Therefore, it was changed to “Mallow”, which does not affect the plot~
