Zhao Bai'er was a member of the Immortal Sect, and Bai Shi knew that he would definitely be able to tell that what Ji Beichen was practicing was the Demon Sect technique. He was afraid that he would misunderstand Ji Beichen, so he wanted to explain.
"Grandpa Shi, you don't have to be like this. Although I studied under Wuji Guan and am a member of the Immortal Sect, my master has no prejudice against the Yan Yue Sect."
After Zhao Baier finished speaking, his eyes were as bright as a torch and he looked towards the direction of Liangzhou and continued to speak calmly: "Master once told me that the leader of Yan Yue Sect, Yan Wugui, furiously killed the bloodthirsty demon who killed many people. My master admired him very much. The unique skill "Fengqi Yuandian" created by Sect Master Yan is even more highly praised. Brother Ji has such a good fortune, but it is something that is rare!"
Zhao Bai'er is not a stickler for the superiors and inferiors of the Immortal Sect and the Demonic Sect. Instead, he is very happy for Ji Beichen's fate. He didn't know Ji Beichen's past, so naturally he didn't know his upright character.
Baishi was very relieved when he heard that, he stroked the white beard on his chin, nodded and said: "It would be great if he thinks like you do, and I don't have to worry too much. There is no good or bad in the Immortal Sect Demon Sect, they are all the same The same system of cultivating immortals, the same cultivators. Whether it is magic skills or immortal methods, what is cultivated is human beings, especially human hearts."
Zhao Baier nodded in agreement, feeling happy in his heart: If Ji Beichen is sure to be his nephew Ah Chen, then if Ah Chen was really taken in by the Yan Yue Sect back then, and now with such cultivation, he has met a good master...
What a pity, how could Zhao Baier know that Ji Beichen's master is actually a cute little girl, Yan Yueli, the "Demon Sect Demon Girl"!
At night, Mother Xue took care of Mu Qing by the bedside and fed him the decoction prepared by Bai Shi. Without the intrusion of toxins, Mu Qing slept very peacefully.
——
Zhao Bai'er stayed outside Ji Beichen's house all night. When he saw Bai Shi getting up in the morning, he left with peace of mind. After leaving the city lord's mansion, Zhao Bai'er took the riding whip handed over by Xue San, flew on his horse, and left Juechen.
Zhao Bai'er did not return to the military camp outside the city. He left in such a hurry just to find his father to verify Ji Beichen's life experience.
In Xuanji Pharmacy, Zhao Baier and his father Zhao Xiang were in the main hall, arguing over Ji Beichen's life experience.
"What did dad say? Why can't he recognize him? Haven't we been looking for him for twelve years!" Zhao Bai'er became anxious when he heard his father say that he could not recognize Ji Beichen for the time being.
"I just can't admit it!" Zhao Xiang looked firm at this time. He didn't recognize Ji Beichen because he had his own considerations.
The Mu family in Cangzhou City is of royal blood, and the former city lord Mu Xiao is the royal uncle of the current emperor. Twelve years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne for the first time. In order to stabilize the situation in the four states, he granted amnesty to the whole world and promoted the cultivation of truth. For a time, the four states and eight deserts were peaceful and stable, showing a sign of peace and prosperity.
As the new emperor's close uncle, Mu Xiao was naturally treated differently from the city lords of the other three states. The new emperor not only rewarded Mu Xiao with countless rare and rare treasures, but also gave Shang Fang a sword and a gold medal to avoid death. The new emperor knew that the Mu family had been friends with the Zhao family for generations, and in gratitude for the Zhao family's contribution to protecting the city for generations, he married Zhao Xiang's eldest daughter Zhao Xian'er as his queen.
Suddenly, the city of Cangzhou was full of splendor and wealth, and the limelight overshadowed the other three states. Although the other three state city lords complained, they were afraid of Mu Xiao's status as a royal uncle and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Unexpectedly, a small disturbance in the Demon Sect outside Cangzhou City broke the fate of the Mu and Zhao families. In one day, thirty-two people in the Mu family were killed. Now, twelve years have passed and the real murderer has not been found.
Shopkeeper Zhao Xiang and his younger brother Zhao Ji are twins. Zhao Xiang is the older brother and Zhao Ji is the younger brother. Their parents named them "Jixiang". The elder brother was supposed to be auspicious and the younger brother was auspicious. But as soon as his younger brother Zhao Ji was born, he had a plum blossom birthmark on his waist. The Zhao family continued the ancestral tradition and regarded his younger brother as "elder brother". Only the Zhao family knew about this.
Zhao Ji inherited the Zhao family's God of War bloodline and was supposed to have a strong physique, but he had been feeling guilty because of the Mu family's massacre. In addition, he worked day and night, and he died of illness last year. Before his death, Zhao Ji passed on the post of Cangzhou City Guard General to his nephew Zhao Baier, and told his brother Zhao Xiang the secret that had been buried in his heart for more than ten years...
Zhao Ji was lying on the hospital bed. He knew that he would not die soon. He held the hand of his brother Zhao Xiang tightly and said: "Now my deadline is approaching. Although the post of city guard has been passed to Bai'er, the city lord Mu Qing cannot Chief, I have to trouble my brother to keep an eye on the affairs in the city!"
It would be better not to mention Mu Qing. Zhao Xiang became angry when he mentioned him: "It's been more than ten years, so it's time for Mu Qing to take charge. In these years, you have been in charge of military camps and government affairs, but now you are sick from overwork...and those twelve It’s time for our Zhao family to ask him for the truth from years ago!”
Seeing what Zhao Xiang said, Zhao Ji waved his hands anxiously: "Brother, what happened back then was not as simple as you and I thought! Twelve years ago, the Mu family was exterminated. The new emperor at that time only inherited Mu Qing as the lord of the city, but Don’t you understand that there is no order to investigate this matter thoroughly?”
"This matter is indeed strange. He is your Majesty's uncle. What an honor you had before!" Zhao Xiang was also puzzled, but the emperor didn't investigate back then, so the Zhao family could only give up.
"It's not that your Majesty didn't investigate. He secretly ordered me to collect clues. Although no useful evidence was left, it is certain that the events back then were closely related to the Lord of Youzhou City, and many people from the Demon Sect's Immortal Sect were also involved. Twelve years ago, His Majesty ascended the throne for the first time, and the situation in the government was unstable. The feudal lords of the other three states were ready to take action. Even if they knew who was responsible, there was nothing they could do.
Now that your Majesty has gradually gained strength in the court and is able to control the situation, I believe that your Majesty will definitely seek justice for the Mu family! There is something else that I want to explain to my brother. I suspect that there is something fishy about the death of Mu Ci’s niece and niece-in-law, ahem..."
Zhao Xiang saw that Zhao Ji was speaking in a hurry and patted him on the back: "Aji, don't be anxious, speak slowly!"
Zhao Ji took a sip of the ginseng tea handed over by Zhao Xiang and continued: "Brother is not a cultivator, so he doesn't know anything. My niece-in-law's real name is Ji Yijun. He is a descendant of a peerless sword cultivator in ancient times. He built the foundation of heaven and possesses the golden elixir. The body of destruction. Ji Yijun was supposed to live in seclusion and concentrate on cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, but he met Mu Ci by chance and was nostalgic for the mortal world, so he had a weakness.
The Mu family was exterminated because the vassal king killed Ji Yijun in order to consolidate his power. I suspect that the Huan Mie Sect was preparing for the war between immortals and demons ten years ago! Without Ji Yijun, had the head of the Cangxu Sect not risked his life, the consequences would have been disastrous...
Senior Baishi is a close friend of Ji Yijun. He firmly believes that Ji Yijun's golden elixir is immortal and his soul will never die. He has been looking for traces of him for so many years! "
"Brother Baishi?" Zhao Xiang did not expect that Baishi, the miracle doctor he met by chance outside the city, turned out to be a close friend of his niece-in-law. In his opinion, Baishi was just an old man with a white beard and excellent medical skills!
"Doctor Shi really intends to get close to my brother. I hope your brother won't annoy him. He is just afraid of bringing you trouble..." Zhao Ji has no choice. His brother is a mortal who runs a medicine shop owned by his ancestors. He should have lived a peaceful life. Life, but as the Zhao family...
"Miracle Doctor Shi is so polite. If my niece-in-law is really not dead and my grandnephew can be found, that would be a great thing!" Zhao Xiang could not blame Doctor Baishi. He had always hoped that Achen could be found and his relatives could be reunited!
"Bai'er doesn't understand, is it because Achen has practiced the Demon Sect's Kung Fu?" Zhao Bai'er saw his father was silent for a long time and refused to recognize Ji Beichen, thinking that his father was prejudiced against the Demon Sect disciples.
"Nonsense, when did your father become so pedantic!" Zhao Xiang's memories were interrupted by Zhao Bai'er's unreasonable words. He was so angry that this child was pampered by his family and now he is becoming more and more unruly.
"Then why do you think it is?" Zhao Baier became stubborn and sat down on the chair, as if he would not give up until he explained clearly.
Zhao Xiang knew that Zhao Bai'er was soft-spoken but not tough, so he said in a slow tone: "Don't be anxious, there are some things that my father needs to ask your Grandpa Shi to confirm carefully. You should go back to the military camp first!"
Zhao Xiang really has a headache for his son. Although he is the heir to the God of War bloodline, the qualifications of successive heirs are different. Zhao Baier has much better qualifications than Zhao Ji, but he has a spoiled personality and does not practice martial arts well. On the contrary, his youngest daughter Zhao Ling'er is more sensible. .
"But..." Zhao Bai'er wanted to say something else, but before he could say anything, someone hurriedly broke in.
"Master, young master, someone from the military camp outside the city came to see the young master, saying there is urgent news!" It was the housekeeper of the Zhao family who came to the drug store to find Zhao Bai'er. Military information was delivered to the military camp. Since the young master was not in the government, he could only come to Xuanji drug store to find someone.
When Zhao Baier heard that there was an urgent report, no matter how reluctant he was, he did not dare to delay any longer. He said goodbye to his father Zhao Xiang and hurried back to the military camp...
——
In the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Ji Beichen spent the night repairing himself. When he opened his eyes, he felt refreshed and his body felt much more relaxed.
He raised his hand to mobilize the true energy in his body, and heat immediately surged up in his Dantian, and the previous symptoms of dryness and heat disappeared.
At this time, while the true energy was continuously flowing out of the dantian, the opened dantian also began to slowly absorb the spiritual energy between the surrounding heaven and earth.
He knew that he had built the foundation, and he used another technique to successfully build the foundation again. In addition to joy, he also felt deeply helpless.
Ji Beichen got up and got out of bed, and picked up the Cangxu Sword beside the bed. The Cangxu Sword felt the infuriating energy in its master's body strengthen, and jumped up lightly, flying out of the scabbard with a "swish".
Ji Beichen smiled and gently held the hilt of the Cangxu Sword. The Cangxu Sword instantly emitted an indigo-blue sword light. As Ji Beichen activated his Dantian Qi, there was a hint of domineering in the indigo-blue sword light. Fiery red!
"Fire red? Fire Lord's killing attack, you have another attribute!" Ji Beichen lost his skills for many days, and now he has regained his life. The Cangxu Sword has also gained an unexpected reward, and he feels very good!
Ji Beichen sheathed his sword, sat in front of the desk, and fell into deep thought. Yesterday, he spent the whole night practicing by using the method of retrograde circulation of Qi, thereby stabilizing the cultivation base he had just established.
Ji Beichen heard clearly the conversation between Bai Shi and Zhao Bai'er outside the door last night. He had suspected that this technique was related to Yan Yuezong before.
Nowadays, the true energy circulates in the body in a very different way from the previous Cangxu sect's exercises. However, there is no rejection phenomenon when the two methods are blended in the body. It seems that as Senior Shi said, the Immortal Sect of the Demon Sect is a family, and most of the techniques for cultivating immortals will not be rejected.
"Hey..." Ji Beichen sighed deeply. He was now forced to change to the devil's path. It was his fate. Now that it was over, he could only accept it slowly.
He only lamented that he had no fate with the Cangxu Sword Sect from now on. Even if he felt all kinds of reluctance in his heart, it would be useless, but he was not that negative...
The head master once said: The so-called destiny is mostly people's own choices. People who go astray in the world are ruined by wrong choices.
For example, his senior brother Lu Aotian, although he practiced the righteous path of the Immortal Sect, he abandoned his ordinary mind, betrayed his fellow sect, and joined the gangsters of the Huan Mie Sect. In the end, he was unable to truly master the Cangxu Sword Technique. And is his current choice right or wrong?
Once upon a time, the head master asked him a question: Now that the world is divided into four states, and the immortal sect is divided into good and evil, which one is right and which is wrong, which one is black and which one is white?
He remembered that he said righteously at that time that the Demon Sect was not the right way, how could it be compared with the Immortal Sect! Now, he can't explain clearly...
The human heart cannot yet make assumptions, so how can we make arbitrary conclusions about what is good and evil, right and wrong? No matter the immortal sect or the demon sect, they are all aiming to achieve immortality. Each sect has different techniques. The most important thing in cultivating immortality is to cultivate people and cultivate their minds!
If people's hearts are not righteous, even if they practice the most authentic exercises, but are eventually possessed by their own inner demons and do all kinds of evil for their own selfish desires, how can they be regarded as decent people?
