"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing, Xiaoyou Mu! Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"
When Qin Muzhi saw Mu Jingyu bowing his head, he hurriedly wanted to reach out and pull him up. It's just that his body was too weak. Just after he said a few words, his limbs felt weak and he became dizzy. The body that he had just stood up suddenly sat down again.
The drunkard pressed his palm to the back of Qin Muzhi's heart in time and poured a few mouthfuls of spiritual energy into him, which relieved his dizziness.
"Jingyu, stand up first! This time, we have received a great favor from the Qin family, and we should repay it." The drunkard first ordered Jingyu to stand up, and then took out a brand new book from his arms. , handed it to Qin Muzhi.
"Master Qin, this is a secret book that I just wrote. It contains the Heart Sutra of Return of All Qi, which I, Situ Zhongkang, am proud of. I will give it to you this time to repay the Qin family for saving your life!"
Qin Muzhi's expression changed dramatically in surprise. He stared blankly at the brand new book in front of him, smelling the rich fragrance of ink emanating from it. He didn't know what to do for a while.
After a long time, he declined flatly and said: "Senior, I, Qin Muzhi and the Qin family have saved me several times. This time, all the sons of my Qin family are repaying the kindness, so how can I save you! If senior sends me a favor again, Isn’t this a mockery of our Qin family!”
"Take it if I tell you to!" The drunkard opened Qin Muzhi's hands and reprimanded him with a straight face: "A few days ago, you protected my master and apprentice and sneaked into the realm of Yaoming Palace. This is considered repaying your kindness! This is how I compensated you for the lives of dozens of sons and daughters of the Qin family. If you dare to speculate again, don’t blame me for being angry! "
Qin Muzhi touched the book with both hands, and two lines of old tears fell down. Although he has only met the drunkard a few times, he has heard of the Heart Sutra about the return of all qi to the origin.
This set of Heart Sutra was created by the alcoholic after decades of hard work. Although it is not as good as the unique skills of the nine sects, it is not in vain. Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, there are very few spiritual methods that are more profound than this Heart Sutra.
What's more important is that the drunkard has never accepted a disciple in his life. He only accepted Mu Jingyu as his disciple a few days ago, and few people know about it. Today, by gifting me the Heart Sutra of Returning All Qi to the Origin, I have virtually recognized myself as my disciple.
After thinking about it again and again, Qin Muzhi nodded heavily and said: "Since senior insists on this, it will be too pretentious if Muzhi continues to push it away!"
After Qin Muzhi finished speaking, regardless of the drunkard's obstruction, he took a strong breath and knelt in front of the drunkard. After kneeling three times and bowing nine times, he said in a deep voice: "I hope that senior can allow Qin Muzhi to worship you." The disciple of the old man, so that he can fulfill his long-cherished wish decades ago. From now on, the Qin family will regard you, Situ Zhongkang, as the ancestor, and pass on this mental method from generation to generation!"
The drunkard never expected that Qin Muzhi would take this opportunity to mention the matter of apprenticeship again. I wanted to refuse, but Master Taier quietly tugged on his clothes and whispered: "Jiuxian, you are not young at all, and you only have one disciple, Mu Xiaoyou, under your knees. I think... it is better to follow Qin. Mu Zhi means to accept him as his disciple."
"Firstly, I can pass on your old hard work. Secondly, I can let Mu Xiaoyou take care of me. If there is any accident in the Kyushu in the future, I can have a way out."
After hearing this, the drunkard lowered his head and thought for a moment, thinking about the words of Master Taier in his heart. After a long time, he nodded slightly: "Qin Muzhi, since you have such a wish, it would be a bit unreasonable for me to refuse again."
Qin Muzhi was overjoyed when he heard this. Before the drunkard could finish his words, he hurriedly said: "Disciple, thank you Master for taking me in!" After saying that, he kowtowed again.
Master Taier had already asked Yin Ling'er to pour three cups of hot tea. After a brief arrangement, he asked Qin Muzhi to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
However, what makes Mu Jingyu a little embarrassed is that because he was taken in by a drunkard a few days ago, which was a few days earlier than Qin Muzhi, he should be considered the senior brother. Is it just this age? There is a difference of several decades.
When he heard this old man, who was comparable to his grandfather, holding tea tremblingly, handed it to him, and called him senior brother, Mu Jingyu was embarrassed and at a loss.
After finally completing all these complicated customs, Qin Muzhi was almost tired.
The drunkard warned a few more times and said that after the matters at hand were dealt with, he would personally go to the Qin family in the Central China and hand-copy several other secrets into a book for him.
Finally, he once again told Master Taier to completely settle Qin Muzhi's follow-up matters, and then rushed to Yaowang Valley to help him deal with possible unexpected situations.
At noon, everyone was in the hidden courtyard of Tai Er Zhenren. After having a full meal, they left for the time being. The drunkard took Mu Jingyu and rushed to Yaowang Valley, while Taier Zhenren stayed temporarily. After handling Qin Muzhi's affairs, he rushed to join them.
After leaving the city, the drunkard took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and took Mu Jingyu straight into the sky, speeding towards the Yaowang Valley in the north.
There was nothing serious about Mu Jingyu's body. The drunkard asked him to sit firmly on the wine gourd and seize the time to meditate and rest, replenishing the long-empty zhenqi. Fortunately, he could refine the antidote immediately in the Medicine King Valley.
Calculating the time, the two of them had wasted six or seven days on their trip to Danchan Mountain. There was not much time left for them to refine the antidote.
Along the way, Mu Jingyu had been meditating and practicing according to the drunkard's instructions and basically didn't wake up. After I realized that my body was 80-90% recovered, I opened my eyes and realized that another day had passed in the blink of an eye. The two of them have also arrived in Qin Muling Prefecture, not far from Yaowang Valley.
"Jingyu, how do you feel?" The drunkard was still standing on the gourd's mouth. Without turning around, he knew that Mu Jingyu had woken up.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Jingyu feels almost recovered." Mu Jingyu stood up and stretched his body in the face of the fierce cold wind.
"You have been meditating for half a day and a night, so there should be nothing serious." The drunkard nodded, paused and continued: "There is something I have wanted to ask for a long time. I was worried about your health before, so I kept holding back. I didn’t say anything, but we’re almost at Yaowang Valley now, and I’m afraid I won’t have time if I don’t ask.”
"Master said... but what about Lilong in Longshou Mountain yesterday?" Before the drunkard could speak, Mu Jingyu guessed what he was thinking.
"Hahaha, my good disciple is really sharp." The drunkard said with a smile: "This whole day and night, my master has been thinking about Lilong. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure out when you took Lilong's soul. Knowledge, what about the ones that are included in the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain?"
Not to mention that the drunkard has been unable to figure this out. Ever since Damu Jingyu woke up, he has also been a little confused.
In the past few days, he had been inseparable from the drunkard, and he didn't feel anything unusual. But when and how did this Lilong get into the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain?
Since the drunkard asked about this, he might as well tell him everything he had done in the past few days. With decades of experience as an alcoholic, maybe we can solve this mystery.
Mu Jingyu immediately told everything he had encountered in the past few days. Most of these things were experienced together with the drunkard. The two discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out the reason.
The drunkard frowned and said: "It seems that this matter should have happened in Longshou Mountain. If you think about it again, did anything unusual happen when you passed through the cave?"
At first, Mu Jingyu thought that this matter had something to do with Longshou Mountain. He had already thought about the situation of passing through Longshou Mountain twice and didn't notice anything unusual.
Since the drunkard brought it up again, I had no choice but to recount the events again. But when he said that when he passed Longshou Mountain for the first time and the drunkard was answering Qin Muzhi's questions in front of him, a detail suddenly came to his mind.
"Master, Jingyu remembers that when you and Qin...junior brother were leading the way, a drop of dew fell on their wrists. At that time, they didn't feel anything strange. But now that I think about it...it seems that apart from that, there was nothing special. There is nothing else suspicious.”
"Dew?" The drunkard exclaimed. He had walked through the cave in Longshou Mountain seventeen or eight times at least, and he had never seen any dewdrops falling on it.
After pondering for a moment, he came to Mu Jingyu's side and reached out to touch his left wrist. But he saw a stream of innate spiritual energy emerging from his fingertips, and he carefully got into the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain.
Seeing the drunkard's changing appearance, Mu Jingyu asked softly: "Master, do you always think that that inconspicuous dewdrop is Lilong's spiritual consciousness? But why does he not drop it sooner or later? Why did it fall after I arrived? What a coincidence, it hit the Jiuyaoxuan light chain right in the middle?"
The drunkard's thoughts at the moment were all on the bead enveloping Lilong's spiritual consciousness in the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain, and he turned a deaf ear to Mu Jingyu's questions.
After a long time, his frowned brows finally relaxed, he couldn't help but smile, and after praising his luck, he said: "Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, even though you have very poor foundation, you are not only talented but also talented. , even more profound blessings!”
The drunkard praised several times and continued: "Not only did you get the ancient artifact Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain in Jiuhua Mountain as a blessing in disguise, but you also used it as an opportunity to make me, an old guy with innate divine knowledge, a disciple. Now. Now, because of this chain, I have been favored by the ancient ferocious beast Glass Dragon, and he has taken refuge in it to practice! This blessing is truly rare to encounter in the ages."
Regarding the two things the drunkard said before, Mu Jingyu could still understand what was going on. But as for why Lilong favored him, he was a little confused.
"Master, if you always want to say something, just say it quickly. My disciples can't understand these riddles."
"Come on, I won't beat around the bush with you." The drunkard took back his palm and explained: "In my opinion, although the Lilong's body has been transformed into Longshou Mountain, his original spiritual consciousness has not dissipated, but has been hidden deep in it. Among them, he was not discovered by the chasing Qinglong."
"After these thousands of years, Lilong's spiritual consciousness must have absorbed enough innate spiritual energy and woke up from his deep sleep. It's just that where Longshou Mountain is located, the innate spiritual energy is extremely poor and not enough to support him. Complete recovery.”
"But just six days ago, after we passed through Longshou Mountain, I think it took a fancy to the Jiuyaoxuan light chain on your wrist, so I took the opportunity to turn into a drop of dew and sneak into it. I guess I was planning to use this Speed up your recovery with the powerful power of the ancient artifact."
The drunkard is indeed an old-timer who has lived for decades, and he can guess the cause and effect immediately.
But after hearing this, Mu Jingyu was not excited, but instead seemed worried.
"Master, if I follow what you always said, doesn't Lilong want to use me to achieve the purpose of regaining his life? Then will it...then will it kill people to seize the chain after it succeeds? "
"That's unknown!" The drunkard said sternly: "Lilong is an ancient ferocious beast, and its temperament must be violent and vicious! At this moment, because its strength has been greatly reduced, and because I have something to ask of you, I will definitely not dare to kill anyone for the time being! And! It also wants to protect you with all its might, which is why it fought with all its life against the monsters in the Demon Underworld Palace in the cave."
"As for what will happen in the future...it's hard to say." Seeing Mu Jingyu's expression, he was completely at a loss. The drunkard sighed and persuaded: "In any case, it doesn't dare to deal with it now. You're at a disadvantage! According to my teacher's advice, you might as well use this time to try to reach some kind of contract with Lilong, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
"Huh?" Mu Jingyu suddenly understood what the drunkard meant. If such an ancient ferocious beast could really help him, then no one in the world could easily touch him. In the future, there will also be some means to help Bi Yun fight against the Yaoming Palace commanded by Bei Pluto.
"Forget it, thinking so much now is of no use." The drunkard continued: "As soon as the matter in Yaowang Valley is over, I will take you to find an ancient spiritual stone first! There is no such thing Please help me, even if Lilong stays in the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain for dozens or hundreds of years, he still won’t be able to gather enough spiritual energy.”
