As Mrs. Tian's story seemed to touch the softest part of Zhao Fan's heart, his tears could no longer be held back and began to pour down.
I cried for the first time as long as I can remember.
When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.
My mother gave up everything about the nine-tailed fox, including its great strength, just to give birth to him!
"Alas..." Mrs. Tian sighed, and said with emotion: "The second month after Bai Hu returned, she wrote a letter saying that she was pregnant. Although we feel that her choice is not worth it, we have reached this point. In addition to blessings, It's nothing. Seven months after she gave birth to you, the punishment from heaven on our Penglai Seven Immortals was lifted and we could finally return to the human world. The first thing we did was to go to the Zhao family to see her, quietly, even the Zhao family I don’t know that we were here before, but we all dispersed and went to wander around in our own places after that. Old Seventh should have told you everything that happened next, right?”
Zhao Fan nodded, wiping his eyes and said, "Grandma, thank you for telling me this."
"Good boy."
Mrs. Tian sighed and said: "Bai Hu is too stupid to give up her great strength. She faces the saint of the Shenji Sect and the Zhao family who have turned against each other. She is left with her husband who was the young master of the Zhao family at the time and you who are waiting for food. There is no room for change. Alas, the fate of the white fox turned into a human being is unpredictable. None of us could have expected that that would happen. If Lao Qi hadn't had a sudden urge to visit her when he passed by the capital, he would have been placed on the reincarnation of the disaster star. You who have a bad reputation were also thrown into the pit of fire and burned alive, this is your fate!"
"Grandma..." Zhao Fan clenched his fists and said, "I will not let my mother's death be in vain. I will definitely level the Zhao family and the Shenji Sect."
"It's a shame for you, you are less than twenty and you have to bear all this." Mrs. Tian smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It wasn't for Lao Qi to stop me. Our mother's family has already reduced the Zhao family and the Shenji Sect to ruins. But Lao Qi, I must say that this is the fate of the white fox. We are outsiders and cannot interfere. I can only let you grow your wings and seek justice for your parents."
"My uncle is right." Zhao Fan nodded resolutely and said, "You are not an outsider, but if I don't personally avenge my parents, there will be an unsolvable knot in my heart for the rest of my life."
Suddenly, Mrs. Tian said with a mysterious face: "Although the sword body made of merit coins is of high quality, it is not of the highest quality."
"Ah?" Zhao Fan was stunned and said, "What do you mean..."
"Fan'er, I killed a demon a few years ago." Tian Pozi said straight to the point: "In his collection, I found a blood bottle containing a sword embryo. It was immature at the time, but now it has It took shape. But it has the aura of the devil, so it is the embryo of the demon sword. After my deduction, I judged that this was a peerless demon sword. After it was broken, the demon took the sword spirit inside and refined it into the prototype of the sword embryo. It is cultivated through the blood of hundreds of beasts. This is much better than the one made from merit coins. Once the sword spirit forms a sword embryo, it will be the best flying sword."
Zhao Fan said hesitantly: "But it is the fetus of the magic sword..."
"There is no absolute good or evil in the world. Whatever you think is right in your heart is the right way." Tian Pozi said meaningfully: "And there is no distinction between good and evil for things, it depends on the person who uses it. Just like a kitchen knife, take it It’s a kitchen utensil for cooking, but it’s a dangerous thing if you use it to kill people.”
Zhao Fan's eyes lit up.
"How many merit coins do you have on hand now?" Tian Pozi asked.
"More than twenty." Zhao Fan said.
"That's enough." Mrs. Tian smiled and said: "With twenty merit coins, you can seal the demonic nature of the sword fetus. If you don't actively stimulate it, it will not affect the heart and soul. In addition, I will give you another copy of the "All Things Heart Sutra".
"The Heart Sutra of All Things?" Zhao Fan asked curiously: "Is this the heart method?"
"Yes, the exercises to improve the state of mind, in short, the mind method. It is the treasure of my lineage." Tian Pozi introduced: "If you experience the state of mind in the world of mortals, slowly collect If the merit coins are used to smelt the sword body, the Shenji Sect and the Zhao family will be free and at ease for a long time, but my heart feels blocked, as if I was sitting on a needle felt."
Zhao Fan's eyes lit up, and he had not avenged his revenge. He had no choice before, so he collected merit coins and tempered his mind step by step. Every night when he calmed down, he would think of his father who was a fiery man in the stinky water prison, and how he enjoyed singing and dancing. The Zhao family and the Shenji Sect are suffering greatly!
Now, after meeting my sixth aunt by chance, I want to give myself the "Heart Sutra of All Things" and the fetus of the magic sword. The time for revenge will be greatly advanced!
At this time, I heard Mrs. Tian say again: "But Fan'er, I have a request."
"Grandma, please speak." Zhao Fan said.
A look of reluctance appeared on Mrs. Tian's face. She paused for a few seconds and then said resolutely: "I have a very important private matter to attend to. Whether I can come back alive or not is a matter of doubt. So, when you leave, take Tao Zi with you." Take her away, she is not a human, but a special peach demon. Even if she transforms into a human form, she cannot practice Taoism. In terms of strength, she is about the same as an ordinary human woman. I hope you will take good care of Taozi and don't let her suffer any injustice, okay?"
"This..." Zhao Fan was in a dilemma.
"Why, you don't even agree to this condition?" Mrs. Tian asked with raised eyebrows.
"No." Zhao Fan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Taozi has been with you for a long time and will not be able to adapt to the sudden separation. If she is unhappy, it means that she has not taken good care of her, and she has betrayed your feelings."
"It doesn't matter, I will tell her." Mrs. Tian smiled, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat first while the rice is still cool. I will give you the Embryo of the Demonic Sword and the "All Things Heart Sutra" later. Stay here with me, and I will teach you step by step how to refine the sword embryo into the Dantian. As for the "Heart Sutra of All Things", if you don't have spiritual roots, it is impossible for Lao Qi to accept you into the Great Creation Family, so you can understand it on your own. I will not leave for five days. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me at any time during the period."
"Thank you, grandma." After Zhao Fan stood up, he knelt down and saluted solemnly.
Apart from his great-uncle, this was the second person who was qualified for him to kneel down and treat him with respect.
After Zhao Fan and Mrs. Tian had dinner, Tao Zi came to clear the table.
Zhao Fan, on the other hand, followed Mrs. Tian to the backyard, where there was a dry well.
"Let's go down."
Mrs. Tian held it up with one hand, then turned over and fell into the well.
Zhao Fan did not hesitate and jumped into the dry well. Then Mrs. Tian did not know what was hidden, so the wall of the well moved and a secret passage appeared. As she waved her hand, the oil lamps on both sides of the secret passage lit up.
After walking for more than twenty meters, they entered a wide space like a tomb. There were about a hundred ordinary people, and there was a coffin parked in the middle. It was full of cracks and there was a faint trace of black air floating upwards.
Mrs. Tian put her hand on the coffin lid and opened it suddenly.
The next moment, Zhao Fan was dumbfounded. Inside the coffin was a one-armed male corpse. It seemed like he had been dead for a long time, but he was still lifelike.
"Fan'er, he is the third of our Penglai Seven Immortals." Mrs. Tian introduced: "That is, your third uncle and grandpa, come and pay your respects."
Third uncle and grandpa?
died!
Zhao Fan came to the coffin with a blank mind, knelt down and worshiped and said, "I have met my third uncle and grandpa."
Then he got up and asked: "Grandma, what's going on?"
"Third brother and I were husband and wife, but we also died because of me." When Mrs. Tian said, she clenched her fists, and the veins on her old skin pulsated, "Now, I entrust Tao Zi to you, and I can go about my own affairs with peace of mind. ”
After two minutes of silence, she unclenched her fists, reached into the coffin, picked up a purple book, and handed it to Zhao Fan.
There are four words written on the cover of the purple booklet: "The Heart Sutra of All Things"!
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tian took out another blood-colored porcelain vase in the coffin and said: "The fetus of the magic sword is sealed here. Now I will tell you how to refine it into the Dantian. I have agreed in advance that the pain of the process will be beyond compare." Your imagination is more than that. Once your will is interrupted, you will fail, and you will have to fight for half your life if you don't die. But if you can't bear this, how can you talk about destroying the Zhao family and the Shenji Sect?"
"I will do my best." Zhao Fan's eyes were filled with perseverance and he was completely fearless.
Mrs. Tian threw out the blood-colored porcelain bottle in her hand and said: "Sit cross-legged on the ground, place the merit coins around yourself, and hold it with both hands."
Zhao Fan complied and waited for the next instruction.
"The power of Longyang, after wrapping your hands, shatters the blood bottle." Mrs. Tian said again.
Zhao Fan followed her instructions, and a golden brilliance emerged, shattering the blood bottle. He clearly sensed that among the fragments in his palm, there was a small black sword, and the demonic energy above it made him waver. Palpitations.
Tian Pozi nodded and said: "Use the fetal light soul of the three souls to invade the embryo of the magic sword, conquer it, and then it can be shot into the Dantian."
"hiss……!"
The moment Zhao Fan activated his fetal light soul to come into contact with the Demon Sword Fetus, he felt as if he was suddenly plunged into a meat grinder. He couldn't help but suck in cold air, but the severe pain was like It was overwhelming like a raging tide, sweeping over!
