"I see."
Zhou Xuan looked firmly at Patriarch Xuan Bing and said that he would go all out to learn and practice these techniques.
Patriarch Xuan Bing smiled and nodded: "Very good, Zhou Xuan, the power of ice and snow will be brought into full play in your hands, but you must remember that you must control these ice-attribute spells. , requires inner balance and purity.”
"You must not use it maliciously or harm innocent people. Your strength is frozen, and your true heart is also frozen."
Patriarch Xuan Bing looked at Zhou Xuan, especially solemnly. Although he had already looked into Zhou Xuan's heart, he knew that Zhou Xuan was definitely not a treacherous and evil person, otherwise he would not have been able to teach him. However, people will eventually change. , this is a special reminder.
He doesn't want to see his inheritance used for evil.
Zhou Xuan nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood and would keep it in mind.
He had not known Patriarch Xuan Bing for a long time, but he knew deeply that he was a great person. It was because Patriarch Xuan Bing drew his sword to help him that he had to escape to the Xuan Bing Ancestor Realm.
Such a person naturally cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.
Although Zhou Xuan thinks he is not a good person, he is not likely to do too much evil.
"Very good. I will teach you one by one as a teacher."
Patriarch Xuan Bing smiled with satisfaction and taught them one by one.
Zhou Xuan nodded seriously and remembered all the instructions.
As time goes by, Zhou Xuan gradually comprehends the essence of these ice attribute spells. He has a basic mastery of each one and can barely use it. However, all of them are only a basic mastery and cannot exert particularly powerful effects.
In fact.
Patriarch Xuan Bing only needs Zhou Xuan to be able to basically master most of the techniques. After that, he can slowly practice and become more proficient and exquisite.
Patriarch Xuan Bing stood on the glacier, looked at Zhou Xuan, and showed a rather satisfied smile.
"very good."
"Zhou Xuan, your qualifications are really extraordinary. You can actually master most of my skills, which is far beyond my imagination. I will have no regrets waiting for you to be my successor for the rest of my life. I hope you can make good use of it." These powers.”
"Disciples must follow the teachings of our ancestors."
Zhou Xuan looked at him with respect and raised his hands in thanks.
He raised his head and glanced at Patriarch Xuan Bing, and saw that the surrounding glaciers suddenly disappeared and turned into nothingness. Even the figure of Patriarch Xuan Bing in front of him became faintly dim, as if he might disappear at any time.
When he saw this scene, his expression suddenly became complicated.
He is not a fool. He clearly saw the fatigue in Patriarch Xuan Bing's eyebrows. In order to teach him Hanbing calligraphy, Patriarch Xuan Bing's spiritual thoughts repeatedly used spells and taught by words and deeds, making the already scarce spiritual thoughts even more scarce. .
Soon after, I'm afraid it will dissipate into the world.
"As a teacher, it's time to leave."
Patriarch Xuan Bing smiled and his voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Xuan was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask the very concerning question: "Ancestor, you are living in seclusion in the ancestral realm, have you... passed away?"
"Um."
Patriarch Xuan Bing was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly desolate, and then he nodded calmly.
He showed a smile and spoke very freely.
"My teacher hid in the ancestral realm in embarrassment. Although I made breakthroughs in my cultivation many times, every time I tried to go out, I could detect the observations of people in the upper realm. My teacher immediately understood that if I went out, The upper world must be sensing something."
"My life is not a big deal. I was afraid of harming the Nine Provinces, so I had to live here. Later, I didn't want to waste my cultivation in vain, so I set up various cultivation realms to wait for my successor."
Patriarch Xuan Bing smiled without deliberately hiding it.
Zhou Xuan pursed his lips. It was just as he imagined. If Grandmaster Xuan Bing was still alive, he would not have spoken like this before. However, he was still a little confused and continued to ask questions.
"Grandmaster, your cultivation is as high as the heavens and your lifespan is long. In theory, you shouldn't die here."
Zhou Xuan looked at Patriarch Xuan Bing and was very puzzled.
His question was not random. Grandmaster Xuan Bing's strength must be higher than that of the old mountain master and the medicine saint. Now, although the old mountain master and the medicine saint are both approaching the end of their lives.
However, the lifespan has not completely expired, so Grandmaster Xuanbing should not die.
Could it be that something happened?
"Life is too long, and living here for many years will inevitably make people depressed. I have thought about seeking death many times. I suffered from the fact that this skill has not been passed down. Then I thought of a way, which is to leave a trace. Dao Shen Nian.”
Patriarch Xuan Bing smiled, but seemed a little helpless.
"We have set up several training places for our master. As long as we can meet the requirements, we can touch our master's spiritual thoughts. These divine thoughts are transformed by our master's soul and can last for tens of thousands of years, so they are completely Don’t be afraid of not being able to wait for a suitable successor.”
"Yes……"
Patriarch Xuan Bing suddenly looked at Zhou Xuan as if he thought of something.
"My teacher was still a little proud back then. Although it was nothing in the upper world, in this Jiuzhou world, I never thought that many people's talents could surpass my teacher. Therefore, it would be difficult to wait for a suitable successor. This is why there are thousands of people. period of the year.”
"Zhou Xuan, I forgot to ask you, what era are you a disciple of? You said that you are a disciple of Qiyun Holy Mountain. I have heard of you saying that you are a disciple of Qiyun Holy Mountain."
Patriarch Xuan Bing paused, his voice very curious.
"You also said that you are a disciple of Yaowang Island. I have never heard of it as a teacher. Being on the same level as Qiyun Holy Mountain is a good place to come to. It should be an emerging force, but I don't know how much inheritance it has inherited. Year?"
"this……"
Zhou Xuan felt even more complicated when he heard what Patriarch Xuan Bing said, and he didn't know how to speak.
Only then did he realize that Patriarch Xuan Bing was afraid that he would not be able to wait for a suitable successor, and he was depressed and frustrated. He knew that it was impossible to break through in his cultivation, so he gave up his lifespan and transformed his soul into a god that could exist for ten thousand years. read.
Use this method to wait for someone to pass on.
I have to say that from the perspective of Patriarch Xuan Bing, this is indeed a good idea. However, if combined with the facts, it seems a bit cruel... so cruel that it is unspeakable.
I am afraid.
Patriarch Xuan Bing never expected that although the time between Patriarch Xuan Bing was a long time ago, it was not that long ago. Even the monarchs of Northern Qi were only the second generation, and the Old Mountain Master and Medicine Sage of the same era were still alive. There is still some life left in this world.
If Patriarch Xuan Bing had not set such a barrier, he might have been able to see Zhou Xuan alive at this moment.
No need to think about it.
If Patriarch Xuan Bing knew the true story of the matter, he would probably be unable to avoid being sentimental. It was precisely when Zhou Xuan thought of this that he hesitated in his heart, wondering whether he should tell the truth.
