Liu Chen was a little surprised when he saw Song Pingcun arriving at the Sect Master Peak early in the morning.
After thinking about it for one night, he was originally planning to ask Song Pingcun to come to the Sect Master Peak again, but before he could summon him, Song Pingcun himself came first.
"Junior brother, why are you so early?" Liu Chen walked out from behind the desk, looking as enthusiastic as usual.
"Sect Master, I'm here to tell you what I said yesterday." Song Pingcun looked serious. In order to help him get out of the siege, he was undoubtedly touched by Mu Ling's contribution. Even if he wanted to give it to the sect, he had to let the sect know that it was hard-earned.
"It's okay, junior brother, don't worry about it. I just said it casually." Liu Chen patted Song Pingcun on the shoulder, as if he really didn't care. Then he added: "Just in time, I originally planned to ask you to come over. I have something to tell you."
As soon as he heard what the sect leader said, Song Pingcun put aside the imitation of the wood spirit body and asked, "Senior brother, do you have any other instructions?"
"Let's go, talk as we go." Liu Chen was not in a hurry to answer, but took him to the backyard of the sect master's palace.
The backyard is very simple. No one comes except for Liu Chen's own residence and cultivation. There are only disciples on duty outside the backyard. However, Liu Chen did not take him deeper into the backyard. Instead, he turned around behind the shadow wall behind the main hall and pressed lightly on one part of the shadow wall. A hole only five feet square was there. The sides of the screen wall are revealed.
"Follow me," Liu Chen said, and took the first step towards the entrance of the cave. It turned out that it was still a downward stone staircase. Having experienced the alchemy room, Song Pingcun didn't feel strange, but he didn't know what was underneath.
The stone staircase is not long but very steep, almost vertical. After more than a dozen steps, a door appeared that was only for one person to enter and exit. Liu Chen took off the sect leader's belt badge from his waist and pressed it on the stone door.
The sealed door retreated to one side silently, and Liu Chen signaled Song Pingcun, who was still standing on the stone staircase, to follow.
When I walked into the stone door, the hole above my head that was flush with the ground suddenly closed, and a bright light appeared inside the stone door.
"This is the place where your master, Mr. Zong, passed away. Just two days before you became an elder, Mr. Zong gave an order before leaving that you could have no restrictions in the sect, including me, the sect leader." Liu Chen walked in While talking in the stone house, his hands were touching every item in this small space.
In fact, the space of this small stone house is less than one foot square. There is a luminous pearl inlaid on one wall, which shines with silvery white light, and the darker it looks, the brighter it becomes. In addition to a bed, there was only a cabinet inside, which contained some silk and scrolls.
After hearing this, Song Pingcun took a deep breath, bowed and bowed to the only bed. The reason why he became an elder is still confused until now. Now it seems that there is an answer. It is the last will and testament of this master whom he has never met before. However, why did the master choose to develop the sect's authority on himself?
He didn't know that it was because of the elder's will that Liu Chen and his two senior brothers thought of recruiting disciples from another generation, otherwise they would not be able to explain it to everyone in the sect.
As for why the long-dead elder chose Song Pingcun to inherit his mantle, the reasons can be found and are easy to find. The prophecy in the suicide note can perfectly explain why Song Pingcun became an elder as soon as he joined the sect.
Moreover, no one can refute it.
If we really talk about this identity, everyone in the Po Yuan Sect is of a lower seniority than Song Pingcun. Even he, the sect leader, and his two senior brothers must be respectfully addressed as "Uncle."
The sect leader probably brought him here not just for him to remember him! After all, his understanding of this master came entirely from the introduction of the sect master and his two senior brothers. If it weren't for what Liu Chen said just now, he wouldn't even know when Mr. Zong passed away.
"Senior brother, why did my master choose to accept me as his disciple before he passed away?" Song Pingcun asked in confusion.
"That is the essence of life that Mr. Zong has been using for the rest of his life. The result of visiting you is also the fault of our three brothers. If we had not come to ask Mr. Zong for instructions, this result would not have happened. Mr. Zong could still protect me, Po Yuan Sect. At least a hundred years." When Liu Chen said these words, his tone did not fluctuate, but his tone could feel the regret and sadness in his heart.
Song Pingcun was even more surprised when he heard this. He could actually let a senior of the Po Yuan Sect use the essence of life for the rest of his life to detect him. This made him feel a little scared and stressed.
"Senior brother..." Song Pingcun was about to continue asking why the master had to do this, but was interrupted by Liu Chen raising his hand: "Junior brother, just remember your mentor here, and I won't disturb you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chen had already walked to the only stone door. Before Song Pingcun could react, he took a step out of the door and took off the waist plate on the stone door with a wave of spiritual energy. The stone door closed silently in front of Song Pingcun's eyes.
What does this scene mean?
Do we need to lock him up in this small stone house to commemorate our mentor? Judging from the position and distance from where we just came in, the stone house should be roughly under the sect master's table and chairs in the sect master's hall.
Could it be that he is under house arrest? But why is this?
Is it because yesterday I didn’t tell the secret of how to attract thunder by practicing the thunder system technique? Choose to tell yourself about Elder Zong's "sacrifice" today to make yourself feel guilty?
Song Pingcun smiled bitterly. Brother Sect Master must be too anxious! She didn't even give herself any time to wait for him to say another word.
"Sir, is this old man crazy? He wants to lock you here." Mu Ling was the most excited and spoke first.
"Brother Mumu, don't make a sound." Hua Ling stopped the angry Mu Ling in time. It’s no wonder that the wood spirit was so excited that he took out a spiritual weapon made from his own sawdust. I’m afraid no one in the entire Blue Star could do it. If it wasn't Blue Star's suppression, it should at least be an artifact, or an artifact that assists in training. In the end, the old man actually locked the young master inside.
To say it's a memorial, isn't it the same as being under house arrest? If you just rely on the current young master's strength, you won't be able to get out at all. Although he didn't know how to describe the formation, he could feel that the room was surrounded by the power of the formation restriction, but he didn't know what the formation was yet.
"Young Master, I will find a way out for you." This time the wood spirit did not make a sound, but the sound from the sea of consciousness directly reached Song Pingcun's mind.
"Quiet, and be at peace as you come." Although he didn't know whether the wood spirit could know, Song Pingcun still responded in his mind.
But then the wood spirit made no next move, which meant that the wood spirit knew about it. This allowed him to discover a method and channel to communicate with the wood spirit, but he didn't know if he could communicate with the flower spirit and Yiyi in this way.
I have to wait until I find time to ask them after I get out.
Just like the feeling of the flower spirit stopping the wood spirit, Song Pingcun also felt that there should be other vents in this stone house. Since the master he had never met passed away here, this bed meant that he might live there. Here, if there are no vents, just relying on the inner breath will make you feel stuffy.
And now he can't adjust his inner breath independently, but he doesn't feel any stuffiness, which means there is a vent. The sect leader had just gone out just now, so he might not have had time to monitor the situation so quickly, but now he couldn't let the wood spirit and flower spirit show up to talk anymore.
Song Pingcun looked at the only cabinet, walked over and opened the cabinet door, carefully checking the silks and scrolls inside one by one. These should be things left by the master.
It took him a quarter of an hour to realize that these silks and scrolls were some of the master's notes, as well as records of the techniques and experiences he had practiced, starting from the basic Qi-regulating realm to the experience records of the Jingjing realm.
However, there is only one beginning for the spirit-inducing realm.
Song Pingcun first picked up the notebook and looked at it, only to find out that his master Zong Hua failed to attack the spirit-inducing realm, and the divine fetus died young. He used a secret method to avoid death and was hiding in the secret room of the sect to survive.
The remaining body is no longer enough to support him to continue practicing, but his life span is not over, and he is still alive to avoid the pursuit of other sects. When the Poyuan Sect is in crisis, he takes action to protect the sect as a last resort.
The elder Zong has maintained this state for nearly a thousand years. At that time, even the three real men of the current sect had not yet been born.
In this case, Mr. Zong took action once before his death. Who did he take action with? Song Pingcun thought about it carefully and probably knew what was going on.
Po Yuan Zong, I owe you a life. Since this life has been chosen by him, he cannot escape it. After Song Pingcun read his master's notes, he felt very uncomfortable. However, the facts have become reality, and he really fulfilled that sentence, the cycle of cause and effect.
If Liu Chen hadn't been under "house arrest", he might not have cared about Po Yuan Zongtai, nor would he have known that there was an old man who sacrificed his last life essence to protect the sect, just to make sure the sect was safe.
Now that he knew this, Song Pingcun stopped being entangled and sentimental. He picked up the mental method left by his master, "The Art of Sustaining Fire and Fierce Flames", and began to read it, as if he was spiritually accompanying this respectable master for a period of time.
