Focus on the sect.
These five words bound Qingyangzi's life.
When he was still Zhang Jiuxiao, because he was young and energetic, or an expert in art, he was bold, he always acted without scruples. However, as the next leader of the Qingyang Sect who has been determined, his every move cannot be perfect after all. Do whatever you want.
No matter how unruly and indulgent he was in the past, he still couldn't do without those five words - putting the sect first.
These five words, when Qingyangzi just started to show his talent for cultivation, the elders of the sect mentioned them to him again and again, wishing that he would regard these five words as a guideline for his words and deeds, even if he forgot for a moment. This sentence doesn't work.
Even a person like Qingyangzi, who has reached the heavenly level, is often overwhelmed by these five words, because these five words have extraordinary meaning to him, just like the shackles on his heart.
It's not that he never thought about taking off this pair of shackles, and he did indeed do so. It was just the only time when he was stubborn that he and the Qingyang Sect paid a heavy price. Since then, this pair of shackles has become Deeper and deeper.
From then on, even if Qingyangzi took a step or took a breath, he would put the sect first.
Because the sect was his top priority, he gave up his dream and was willing to imprison himself in this cage of heaven and earth.
Because the sect was his most important thing, he gave up his position as the leader, gave up his real name, and traveled around the world under the name Qingyangzi.
Because he focused on the sect, after he understood the first three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, he handed over the first sword technique to Zhong Ding without any hesitation.
Because the sect is the most important thing...
Ai Ling thought a lot and shed tears as she thought about it.
Others may not realize it, but she has been paying attention to Qingyangzi. She understands the pain in Qingyangzi's heart better than anyone else, and sees clearly than anyone else that what Qingyangzi has paid for this sect is far more than anyone else. It's much more than what others imagine.
You can follow the footsteps of the past. Let alone the two people Qingyangzi brought back for the Qingyang Sect, any sect will usher in a renaissance as long as they get one of them.
Now that Xu Mushan has become a disciple of Ai Ling, she can naturally be said to be a disciple of the Qingyang Clan, and Gu Chen is even more extraordinary. Unfortunately, the Qingyang Clan temple is still too small to accommodate that young man.
But, who can blame this?
The answers to these questions can obviously be found, and right and wrong can be clearly distinguished, but it doesn't seem to be important to Zhong Ding and others at this time.
Qingyangzi looked at his fellow disciples and showed a faint smile.
The clouds and smoke of the past turned into a smile.
However, the more Ai Ling thought about it, the more she felt dissatisfied, and said coldly: "Don't you think it's ridiculous for the headmaster to say to senior brother, 'Putting the sect first'? Over the years, hasn't senior brother done enough?"
Wei Dedao and Zhou Bubu had complicated eyes, bent their necks slightly, and said nothing.
Many third-generation disciples present were suspicious. They stared at Qingyangzi and searched their minds for memories of this person.
They were deeply impressed by this person, but their memories were not that much. They only knew that Qingyangzi was a genius who had been in seclusion all year round among the three generations of disciples. He understood the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, became famous in one fell swoop, and then left the sect to travel around the world. , but no one knows what this person has done for the sect.
Of course, this is just because the Qingyangzi of today is completely different from the Zhang Jiuxiao of that year. The two are very different in appearance. If it were not for those who know the root and cause, they would not know what happened back then, let alone what happened back then. Where did that Zhang Jiuxiao go?
"Of course I know what senior brother has done for the sect, but no matter how much he does, there is still no way to undo what happened, and it still cannot change the fact. It was because of him that the seniors..."
"shut up!!"
Ai Ling's expression changed and she shouted loudly.
Not only did her expression change, but Wei Dedao's and Zhou's expressions also changed. He looked at Zhong Ding in confusion, wondering if the leader really wanted to reveal that matter? In front of so many people?
Qingyangzi stared at Zhongding with a calm expression. He didn't care at all about what Ai Ling and others were worried about.
Zhong Ding didn't say any more and stopped talking, leaving only a group of surprised and confused classmates, but no one asked.
Qingyangzi could feel that everyone's eyes were on him, and all kinds of confusion, surprise and curiosity lingered on him, including Gu Chen's.
Qingyangzi looked at Gu Chen and said with a smile: "I couldn't reach this position back then."
Gu Chen looked at the sky stones on the left and right, nodded and said: "I didn't expect that I could reach this position."
It was because of doubts about his own meridians that Gu Chen didn't ask Qingyangzi to come at the beginning. He didn't want to disappoint Qingyangzi.
But now it seems that it is not good to be too eye-catching. Just like the scene in front of her, Qingyangzi seems to be in a dilemma.
Gu Chen said: "If it really doesn't work..."
Qingyangzi shook his head and said: "I owe the sect, but it has nothing to do with you. One thing is another. You are my adopted son, Qingyangzi. Even if the sky falls, I can protect you."
Qingyangzi said these words of course, without any cover-up, so that everyone present could hear them clearly, which made Zhong Ding's expression change.
Ai Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
She didn't want Qingyangzi to be bound by the past. She missed the all-powerful Zhang Jiuxiao instead of the silent Qingyangzi now.
Qingyangzi said to Zhong Ding: "If you feel that I will never be able to pay my debt to the sect, just come to me. However, I am me, and Gu Chen is Gu Chen. This is the bottom line. This time, the opportunity for Wu Shi is his." What he deserves, and what he gets will only belong to him personally. This is what we agreed from the beginning. The Qingyang family has a great cause. Even if you are greedy, it will never look good or ugly. What I mean is clear enough. Bar?"
If you don't understand?
Qingyangzi has said it so straightforwardly, so straightforwardly that it's even a little hard to hear. How could he still not understand?
Zhong Ding looked at Qingyangzi and said nothing.
Qingyangzi said to Gu Chen: "Let's go."
Gu Chen was startled and nodded subconsciously.
Then what shocked Gu Chen was that when Qingyangzi said "walk", he really meant walking.
Qingyangzi was seen walking in front of Gu Chen, slowly walking down the mountain.
With Qingyangzi's cultivation level, if he wanted to take him back to Donglai Peak, he could get there in the blink of an eye. There was no need to follow this mountain road in a disciplined manner.
From the looks of it, it's more like leading Gu Chen to demonstrate than protecting Gu Chen from leaving.
Gu Chen subconsciously followed Qing Yangzi.
Qingyangzi walked past Zhong Ding and paused slightly. The two looked at each other for an instant, and then looked away.
Then Qingyangzi walked over.
When Gu Chen passed by Zhong Ding, he noticed that the corners of Zhong Ding's mouth were twitching slightly and there were tangled veins on his hands.
Zhong Ding slowly turned around with Gu Chen, his eyes passed over Gu Chen, and fell on the back of Qingyangzi who was walking in the front.
The back was clearly thin, but it gave the impression that it was a peak that could not be climbed.
It has always been like this from before to now.
Zhong Ding's breathing became heavy.
Qingyangzi took Gu Chen and walked past the three generations of disciples one by one.
Everyone subconsciously moved out of the way, feeling very uncomfortable. It was obvious that people like themselves were not taken seriously by Qingyangzi at all.
But what can they do?
Just give up?
Huang Yunbo was unwilling.
His end is approaching, and if he doesn't seize this opportunity, he will have no hope in this life.
After hundreds of years of practice, I can only cultivate a handful of loess in the end?
He doesn't want such an ending!
Huang Yunbo stared at Zhong Ding closely, and saw Zhong Ding nodding towards him imperceptibly.
Huang Yunbo suddenly felt bold, and his eyes flashed with cruelty.
When Gu Chen walked by, Huang Yunbo's right hand suddenly reached out. The energy in the five claws was condensed, and thin rays of light connected at the fingertips, forming a mini array.
This claw grabbed Gu Chen's head.
This claw is used by Huang Yunbo, who obtained by chance in his early years, a secret technique called Star Seal Hand. With one claw, he can draw out the soul of others.
This method is not perfect. It is only a technique to capture the soul, but not a method to return the soul to its place. Therefore, it would be unreasonable if the soul is captured by this star seal hand.
The benefits of this method are also obvious. The soul captured through this method is intact, and the secrets in the soul can be studied and analyzed in a short period of time through other methods. Whether it is a technique or a good opportunity, it can be peeled off by peeling off the cocoon.
