Cai Zhao admired in his eyes: "Third Senior Brother also thought of it. Yes, I guess the person behind the scenes has been searching for the purple jade golden sunflower for many years to no avail, so he had to ask more people to help him find it."
Song Yuzhi frowned: "Didn't people in the Demon Cult say before that the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower is useless and of little use? Why on earth do the people behind the scenes have to look for it?"
"To practice the Purple Heart Sutra." Cai Zhao said with a smile, and saw Song Yuzhi's pupils shrink slightly as he wished.
Cai Zhao continued, "For more than a hundred years, the Purple Heart Sutra has been regarded as taboo by successive demon sect leaders, and they warned future generations not to practice it. However, Nie Hengcheng somehow got the secret in his later years, and after practicing this technique, he massacred everyone. Now, through Lu Chengnan’s last words, we know that in order to practice the "Purple Micro Heart Sutra", we must have the assistance of Purple Jade Golden Sunflower. I guess this is the purpose of the person behind the scenes - he also wants to practice the "Purple Micro Heart Sutra" Heart Sutra!"
"Third Senior Brother, this is what I want you to help with. I hope you will show me the records of Old Sect Master Yin on the Purple Heart Sutra, so that I can find out more clues."
Song Yuzhi's eyes were solemn: "...why do you think my grandfather will have news about the "Purple Heart Sutra"."
Cai Zhaodao: "Two reasons. First, Old Sect Master Yin is well-known in the world for his brilliant mind and scheming. From the time he first discovered that Nie Hengcheng was practicing strange skills, he has been conducting overt and covert investigations for several years, and he did not hesitate to ruin many outstanding sect disciples. I don’t believe he gained nothing.”
Song Yuzhi said coldly: "Zhaozhao is over-prized. Maybe my grandfather got nothing."
Cai Zhaodao: "Secondly, when my aunt was alone in Tushan, no one knew what the outcome would be. As the head of the six sects, Old Sect Leader Yin's safe approach was to arrange more helpers and set up more traps. He must help my aunt. Kill Nie Hengcheng on the spot. However, Old Sect Leader Yin did not, and even prevented Master from going to help, as if he was sure that as long as my aunt went all out and risked her life, she would definitely kill Nie Hengcheng."
"No matter how many people criticize Old Sect Master Yin's selfishness, it is undeniable that he is a generation of heroes who has controlled Beichen for decades. Once my aunt is defeated, no one will be able to stop Nie Hengcheng in the right path of the martial arts, and the consequences will be disastrous. The overall situation is now, Old Sect Leader Yin doesn’t know the priorities.”
"My aunt once said that Nie Hengcheng's evil kung fu had not been mastered in the end, otherwise he would not have been defeated and died - but this was the conclusion she came to after risking her life. How did Sect Master Yin know in advance? I Guess, he found something."
"Such a top secret, Old Sect Master Yin can only tell his trusted eldest daughter, the third senior brother's deceased mother, Mrs. Qinglian."
"Third Senior Brother, please."
Song Yuzhi remained silent for a long time, letting the west wind blow the fallen leaves on the ground, flying like withered butterflies.
After a long time, he said: "...I know the "Purple Heart Sutra", but I didn't know that it was the evil skill practiced by Nie Hengcheng, otherwise I would have told the master a long time ago."
"Now I know that my grandfather knew the secret of Nie Hengcheng's evil skills back then, but he didn't tell anyone, leaving Cai Nuxia to do her best alone. Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry."
"Come with me and I'll tell you everything."
Late at night, Funiu Village.
Drums were beating in front of the village gate, and the attack was in full swing. There were torches, braziers, and lit thatch piles all over the ground, which illuminated the blackened mountain tops with a strange noise like daylight.
There was a loud bang, and the thick village door was knocked open by a huge tree. After two more hits, the door burst into pieces. A dozen masters in black clothes and black armor rushed in like ghosts. The bandits struggled to resist. Although they have a large number of people, their strength is very different, and it is obvious that defeat will happen sooner or later.
The second master's face was covered with blood. When he saw that the situation was not good, he rushed to a tall man and shouted: "Brother, these people are too tough. We can't stop them. You should leave quickly!"
The sturdy man brandished the nine-ring machete and shouted: "What will you do if I leave? We agreed to live and die together!"
"Oh, brother, you'd better leave quickly!"
In the space of two or three sentences, there were constant ouch sounds from all around, stumps and broken arms flying around. There were fewer and fewer people in Funiu Village, and those who were still able to move were gradually crushed into a small ball by black clothes and black armor. .
The second master shouted at the top of his lungs: "May I ask where you are from, all these good men? We in Funiu Village have to do our duty. We never dare to cross the boundary of Funiu Mountain. I don't know how we offended all these good men!"
Funiu Village is one of many cottages in the world. It is built on the mountains and surrounded by rivers. There are ordinary roadblocks and ordinary robberies. The 'buying and selling' are not big or small. They can almost cover the expenses of the cottage. They are not so cruel as to commit adultery. They plundered people and animals without leaving them behind, and they were not so merciful that they raised their swords to resist, but they were determined not to hurt anyone's life. No matter how you look at it, Funiu Village is as inconspicuous as a standard, but it has inexplicably attracted these evil stars.
The black clothes and armor surrounding the front parted like water, and a tall, tall and handsome man walked in slowly. He was wearing a black robe that tied the waist and fastened the wrists. He looked to be no more than 20 years old, but around him The warriors were all respectful and silent without making any sound.
The young man spoke loudly: "I have no enmity with Guizhai. I just wanted to ask the head of Guizhai for a few words. However, I sent letters several times, but he ignored them and even secretly sent me away. I had no choice but to send him away." , I had no choice but to make this decision."
The bandits in Funiu Village were stunned for a moment, then looked at the boss behind them.
"Xue Youfu, what do you say?" the young man asked.
When the second master heard this, he quickly said: "Did this master make a mistake? Our boss's surname is Xue, but his name is Xue Zhengshan, not Xue Youfu, he...ah...!"
A well-dressed scholar next to the young man in Xuanyi kicked his foot and kicked out a small stone, which hit the second master's forehead acupuncture point. The second master immediately fell to the ground and passed out.
The gangsters were shocked, and the always ruthless third leader said angrily: "Boss, we brothers have fought so hard for you, so we can't stand you. You should say something!"
Unexpectedly, the headmaster still said firmly: "My name is Xue Zhengshan. I don't know Xue Youfu. You are mistaken."
The young man in black clothes didn't say anything more. He turned his head and winked. The handsome scholar next to him immediately ordered someone to bring in an old woman who was dressed in vulgar and rough clothes. The old woman's face was covered with sad wrinkles and her eyes were cloudy, but she had many colorful velvet flowers on her head.
As soon as she saw Xue Zhengshan, she screamed, "It's him, it's him! He is Xue Youfu, the bastard from Gravel Village! He killed my whole family and turned into ashes. I know him!"
The headmaster looked at the old woman and sneered, with resentful eyes: "Isn't this the third aunt of the village chief's family? I should have killed you long ago, but I wanted to see your sister-in-law receive more customers for a few more years, so I didn't do it!"
The old woman wished she could pounce on him and tear his skin off, but You Guanyue ordered someone to take him down first, screaming "bastard of a bitch" incessantly.
Mu Qingyan took a step forward: "Master Xue, do you need anyone else to testify?"
Xue Youfu raised his blood-stained face: "Yes, I am Xue Youfu from Ruishi Village. It was he who gave me the name Xue Zhengshan. I knew who you were as soon as I saw your face. You and him were born together." Exactly the same.”
Mu Qingyan said calmly, "Why bother going to this point? I just want to ask a few questions."
Xue Youfu sneered: "You can kill me if you want. No matter what you ask, I just say 'I don't know'. I promised him that I will never reveal his past. If you have the ability, you can peel me off. I frowned." Head, write the word "Xue" backwards!"
Mu Qingyan said: "It takes too much effort to peel off the skin. I'd better ask you properly. I asked you for the first time, 'Do you want to answer'? If you don't, I will kill you, the second-in-command of my eight-year-old family."
The second master was still unconscious and lying motionless on the ground.
Xue Youfu said harshly: "What we do is a business of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Life and death are common things. I will die with my brothers when the time comes!"
Mu Qingyan continued: "I asked you the second time and you still refused to answer, so I will kill dozens of your brothers in Funiu Village."
All the gangsters shrank together, and the third master shouted: "Boss, you can do it, just answer a few words. Our brothers have followed you through life and death for more than ten years!" - He held the steel knife tightly, thinking in his heart I have already thought about how to capture the boss later and deliver it to these evil stars.
Xue Youfu smiled coldly and did not answer.
Mu Qingyan said: "If you don't answer my question for the third time, I'll send a dozen or so of your family down to explore the way for you..."
Before she finished speaking, You Guanyue had someone escort a group of women and children who looked embarrassed and came over. They were the family members of Xue Youfu who had been sent out in advance. Under the shining sharp knife, several young children were crying.
The flesh on Xue Youfu's cheeks couldn't help but tremble. After a few moments of patience, he said with difficulty: "At worst, our whole family will go on the road together, which can be considered a family reunion."
"Good! You are tough enough." Mu Qingyan praised, "Invite the old lady up."
A silly old woman was helped up. Although her hair was gray, the beauty of her youth was vaguely visible in her brows.
Mu Qingyan said: "You are filial. Knowing that Funiu Village has been targeted, you deliberately used your wife, concubines and children as a cover to send them away in advance, and secretly sent another confidant to escort my mother elsewhere."
When Xue Youfu saw the old woman, his eyes turned red and he screamed: "Mother!"
Mu Qingyan said: "Master Xue, let me tell you three things first. First, the person you made the promise to is dead. Whether you say it or not, it will not harm that person. Second, he He died in an unknown manner, and I still don’t know where his remains are. If you are willing to answer my questions well, maybe he can be buried in peace as soon as possible. Thirdly, your mother has suffered so much for you, you can’t bear to call her Did he die a violent death?"
Xue Youfu couldn't bear it anymore and tried his best to rush out of the siege to help the old woman, but was blocked by the man in black armor.
He struggled hard in his heart, and after a while he lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't embarrass my mother, I will tell you everything."
Mu Qingyan nodded, and a group of people in black clothes and armor slowly dispersed and surrounded him in an orderly manner.
The Third Master breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Oh, that's right. The name of the Divine Sect is so famous that even our small and remote village has heard of it, but we didn't expect that the two families have a long history... ah...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Qingyan raised his left hand and slashed through the air with a knife, and the Third Master's laughter stopped abruptly.
After a short scream, half of his head was gone. Half of his body knelt on the ground in astonishment, slowly collapsing like mud. The split brains and blood were steaming with the smell of blood.
Cold moon, cold night, blood and corpses all over the ground, and a mutilated corpse with half of its head missing.
Except for the already quiet man in black armor, the gangsters were also silent for a while. Only a few young children were frightened and cried sadly, and their mouths were covered by the women beside them.
Xue Youfu gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to give me any power. I know that your divine sect is powerful. Since I have agreed, I will answer my questions honestly and will not lie even a word!"
Mu Qingyan lowered his head and twisted his wrist, "Master Xue is a sensible person."
The bandits were taken away by the men in black armor one by one. You Guanyue also sent the demented old woman and the other women and children inside to keep warm, and cleared out a quiet room for Mu Qingyan to question.
Xue Youfu had several large acupuncture points on his body sealed, and he sat down on a low wooden stool. He looked at Mu Qingyan, who was sitting calmly above him, and said, "You... Master Mu, have you already been to Gravel Village?"
"I've been there. It's completely deserted, and there are a few bones in the grass." Mu Qingyan said, "You and Mu Zhengyang must have done it."
Hearing this name, Xue Youfu felt a sense of sadness, "More than ten years have passed. I've long guessed that something happened to Brother Zhengyang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped coming to see me for so long."
The lights were dim, and the grayish golden light and shadow cast on the young man's handsome face, which was both familiar and unfamiliar. He suddenly felt in a trance, as if an old friend was still alive.
"What do you want to ask, Master Mu?"
"I haven't decided yet. Mr. Xue might as well start from the beginning and reminisce about the past."
Gravel Village is a very isolated and remote place with barren land and scarce water resources. There are more than a dozen families in the village who live on a few acres of thin fields and a barren mountain full of wild beasts.
There are two extremely unpopular children in the village. The eldest is called Sangmenxing, and the one who is one year younger is called bastard.
Sangmenxing was not a child of this village, but was left behind by a passing beggar one year. Guo Sanwang and his wife at the end of the village had no children for many years, so they simply picked him up and raised him. Unexpectedly, Guo Sanwang and his wife gave birth to a son the next year. From then on, they beat and scolded Sangmen Xing and were very harsh. The urchins in the village also loved to bully him. They often threw stones and made up songs to ridicule him.
However, Sangmenxing was stubborn and unruly, and refused to give in even if he was beaten until his head was bloody.
The Sangmen Star was a Sangmen Star from the beginning, but the bastard was not a bastard from the beginning.
At first, he was called Fubao.
Fubao's father was the most capable hunter in the village, capable of catching snakes and bears. With this ability, the family lived a prosperous life. Fubao's mother is a weak, kind-hearted and beautiful woman who often helps the old, weak and poor in the village.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when dripping water turned into ice, she saw Sangmenxing, who was only three or four years old, being pushed out by the Guo couple to fetch water. She felt distressed and held the child in her arms, making soup and porridge for him. After that, she often took care of him.
Fubao's happy and fulfilling childhood ended when he was eight years old. His father fell to his death while hunting in the mountains, and his family's financial situation plummeted.
Originally, Fu Bao's mother, Mrs. Xue, could barely make a living by washing clothes and sewing clothes for the villagers. Unexpectedly, the village chief and his son, who were inferior to animals, made an excuse to let Fu Bao's mother come to embroider. They took the opportunity to insult her, and afterwards they proudly spread the news throughout the village. , saying that Fu Bao's mother seduced them for money.
From then on, Fubao's mother became a slut that everyone could humiliate, and Fubao also became a bastard. The urchins in the village rushed to bully him. Whenever this happens, Sangmen Xing will come out to stop him.
No child in the village dared to bully the nine-year-old Sangmenxing. Although he is as thin as a bamboo pole, he is tall and has strong hands. He can throw stones accurately and hard, and his fists and kicks never fail. His eyes are like those of a hungry wolf. Even a grown man would be frightened when he sees him. The Guo couple I dare not treat him too harshly.
With the protection of the Sangmen Star, the bastard's life was a little easier.
However, the women in the village no longer wanted his mother, Mrs. Xue, to work, and the men in the village were even more eager to try. The mountain village was isolated and there was no other way to make a living. The weak woman wanted to die several times, but she had to endure it for the sake of her young son. It came down and has since become a half-door in the village.
The urchins couldn't defeat the Sangmenxing, so they made sarcastic remarks about the bastard.
"You bastard, who became your father yesterday?"
"I just saw Uncle Qian and the three of them entering his house. Oops, they did three businesses at once. The bastard can eat meat tonight!"
"My dad said his mother's skin is flossy, like a tattered linen bag, and worthless!"
"His mother is just a piece of trash, hahahaha..."
Even if the two children pinched their palms until they bled and cried into a sea of tears, this harsh and cruel world would not change at all.
Fortunately, time is the best medicine, and the two boys grew up gradually.
When Sangmenxing grew up to twelve years old, he was tall and straight, with fair skin, slender bones, and an incredibly beautiful face. Even a blind person could tell that he was completely different from the other villagers who were thick-handed and big-footed.
Sangmenxing also wanted to know his origins. He questioned the Guo couple several times. At that time, the Guo couple no longer dared to bully him, so they had to tell the truth. It was a beautiful woman with extraordinary clothes who left him here. of.
The Guo couple said that the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, but she was cold and full of resentment. She found this most remote mountain village and found out that the Guo couple had been infertile. Then she sent their two-year-old child over and said that the child's father was the most miserable and unlucky person in the world.
The beautiful woman never appeared again. The Guo couple guessed that she must be a lady from a wealthy family who had been deceived by a man, so they found a remote place in a poor country and dumped their illegitimate son as a burden.
Hopes and fantasies cannot be eaten as food. For the tortured stupid lady Xue, Sangmenxing and the bastard went to the town to do hard labor at a young age. Because his appearance is so iconic, Sangmenxing has to endure the town bullies with weird habits.
