I was slightly stunned, while Xiao Qian and Hua Rong looked a little surprised. Then I shrugged and said, "Why, where did Bai Ke meet someone with the power of the moon spirit?" The cook shook his head: "No, no, it's not that Bai Ke met someone with the power of the moon spirit, but I saw his works. Those difficult formations I just mentioned were designed and manufactured by that person." Speaking of which, the cook looked at me again, and seemed to be a little puzzled and said: "Because it's something I have to worry about. There were too many, so I didn’t delve into some things. Because you seem to have nothing to do with the records in that treasure house." I scratched my head and asked curiously: "So what is recorded in that treasure house? About Yue Ling? I haven't heard you talk about it before?" The cook smiled: "I understand my brother's mood. If I knew about Yue Ling, I would have told you a long time ago. The records there are similar to memoirs , it records the actions of a person with the power of the moon spirit, but it has nothing to do with this place. I’ll tell you about it when I have time in the future..." After saying this, the cook looked at me again, Hua Rong and Xiao Qianye looked at me. I simply took the initiative and said: "Don't look at me. Brother, please tell me what that person did. Just give us a little more rest time. Hey, brother, haven't you lost your memory and haven't recovered yet? Can't you remember?" "
The cook laughed: "Okay, the method of stimulating generals is so old-fashioned. Anyway, Nan Ke and I need to fix it, so I will recall the autobiography and you can just listen to it as a story." We all nodded and read together again. He looked at the cook sternly.
The cook actually sat cross-legged and meditated, put his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, paused for a second, and slowly told the story in the book.
The protagonist of the story is Qin Shan. He has lived in an isolated mountain and old forest since he was a child, but his life is not difficult. There are many people living together, with carved galleries and painted buildings, high mountains and flowing water, small bridges with peach blossoms, and magnificent horses at sunset. In short, Qinshan is in a paradise, free from the world. In addition to learning techniques, reading, and practicing with everyone every day.
Until one day when Qinshan was about to reach the age of weak crown, the head of that place, that is, the head of the Immortal Palace Sect, brought a highly respected uncle from Qinshan and called Qinshan in the middle of the night, saying that Qinshan had grown up and wanted to Take Qin Shan on a secret mission. Qin Shan, who had never been out of the mountains and had never seen the world, was excited and excited, and could not think too much, so he followed his teacher's instructions, traveled under the stars and at night, slept in the open air, and arrived at a remote mountain that was still deserted. Although it is not Lushan Mountain, it looks like a ridge with peaks on either side. It is different in height from far to near. You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
The master and apprentice spent a lot of effort to build two small huts for temporary residence. Although Qin Shan was very curious and asked many times from the front and side what secret mission they were going to carry out, his uncle always used the excuse that the time had not come yet. At the same time, he continued to teach Qin Shan more secret techniques and related knowledge, which made Qin Shan not think too much and thought that his uncle was secretly training him. It is said that when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so his mind and forbearance are tempted. Day by day, just like this in the mountains. They eat wild fruits, roots, and game of all kinds. It's quite satisfying. Scenery everywhere. There is a poem that says: I never get tired of looking at mountains all day long; I buy mountains and stay in them forever. The flowers on the mountains have fallen and the mountains are still there, and the mountains and rivers are empty and empty.
About half a year later, one day, Uncle Master asked Qin Shan, "Over the years, your academic skills have become the best in our Immortal Palace sect. Your talent is much higher than that of other brothers." This time we come here, of course, not for sightseeing. You keep asking me what the secret mission is, and I will tell you today. However, as your uncle, my faith has been shaken. So, after I tell you about the secret mission later, if you don’t want to, we will treat the mission as a failure. When we go back, we won’t say anything to anyone and continue living as before. What do you think?
At this time, Qin Shan's heart was filled with turmoil. He had thought about it for a long time and imagined many great possibilities. But I didn't expect that my uncle would be vaccinated in advance. It seems that this secret mission is not a good thing. But in line with the principle of fighting for the Immortal Palace for a lifetime, Qin Shan did not back down, but replied: "Uncle, don't worry too much, even if the sky falls, it will be carried by the juniors first." So Qin Shan's uncle told Qin Shan. Since ancient times, the Immortal Palace Gate has participated in the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, and after helping the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You, they reached an agreement with the Yellow Emperor and retired to the mountains and forests, only observing Feng Shui and not caring about personnel. The layman's point is to use all methods to improve Feng Shui, transform the earth's veins, and do one's best to protect the land of China from disasters, but not to participate in human beings' own wars, disputes, etc.
But humans are group animals, and if they break away from the group, they will inevitably decline. The first is talent. The Immortal Palace Sect cannot provide eugenics and nurturing on its own in the mountains, nor can it communicate with the outside world normally. Only a small group of people can select smart children from poor families based on their appearance, claim to be performing acrobatics and travel around the world, and buy them as a continuation of the Immortal Palace Gate. This situation was not serious at first, but as time went by, dynasties changed, the country was divided, and wars emerged one after another. Those in power who know the existence of the Immortal Palace Sect hope that the people of the Immortal Palace Sect can serve as an alternative force to help them defeat those forces that are vying for power in the Central Plains.
The breaking of this agreement directly led to major disagreements within the Immortal Palace Sect, which had been at ease for many years and was already dissatisfied with each other. Conservatives believe that the Immortal Palace should follow the ancestral precepts and only benefit mankind and not participate in human disputes. Otherwise, the Immortal Palace Gate will not only lose the meaning of its existence, but will also become a lackey of the imperial court. Radicals believe that helping human beings unify and reduce human killings of each other is also a benefit to mankind. Moreover, if it loses the support of those in power and relies solely on self-sufficiency, it will be difficult for the Immortal Palace to maintain normal operations in the future.
Qin Shan was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted and asked: "So I bought it too? My parents are not dead?" Qin Shan's uncle smiled bitterly and replied helplessly: I bought you with my own hands. , one tael of silver.
Qin Shan was very disappointed, but his uncle comforted him: It’s not that your parents didn’t love you and sold you casually, but because of the war and famine, they couldn’t support you at all, so they sold you to someone who could afford to support you. , even if you endure hardships and hardships, you can still survive. Qin Shan adjusted his mood and asked his uncle again, are my parents still alive? The uncle shook his head and said: "I bought you in the current generation of Wu State. Your parents should have fled from the other side of the Yangtze River. If they are still alive and have not returned to their hometown, their accents will be different from the local area." Out of place. However, after so many years, the probability of finding your parents is not high. Even if they meet, they will not be able to recognize them." Qin Shan asked again: "Then if my uncle saw my parents now, would he still be able to recognize them? Are you coming out?" Uncle Master shook his head: "It's been sixteen years, Qin Shan. Back then, your parents and I only had a relationship, and your parents were unkempt and haggard. I don't want to lie to you." Qin Shan calmed down and said, Nodding, he asked again: "So, Uncle Master, what is the secret mission we are carrying out this time?"
Uncle Master took a deep breath and said: "There are rules in our Immortal Palace Sect. If there is a person who has obtained the power of the Moon Spirit, he will be the successor to the sect leader. If there is no leader, the person who has obtained the power of the Moon Spirit will be the sect leader. Therefore, the Immortal Palace sects in the past dynasties have paid close attention to the power of the Moon Spirit. When a young talent obtains the power of the Moon Spirit, the sect leader will quickly hand over and give up the position of the sect leader." Qin Shan was puzzled and asked Yue Ling What is the power of. Uncle Master suddenly burst into tears and cried uncontrollably for a while. This man, Qin Shan, looked confused, but he still did not interrupt the crying uncle.
After Uncle Master calmed down on his own, he became very serious and said again: "Qinshan, if you are unwilling to carry out this mission, we will treat it as a failure." After saying that, he looked towards the gate of the Immortal Palace. Sighing: "Perhaps, the Immortal Palace Gate should not have existed long ago, or to be precise, it should not exist in this way."
Then the uncle told the truth again. Because the ruler wanted the Immortal Palace Sect to take action, differences emerged within the Immortal Palace Sect. Therefore, the ruler instigated and divided the two forces, allowing the radical faction to betray the ancestral precepts of the Immortal Palace Sect. He planned to do something big and work hard for the imperial court in the name of saving the world. Of course the conservatives want to stop all this, but both parties are people with profound skills and high attainments, and neither party has leaders with countless levels of cultivation who can overcome all opinions. Therefore, the outcome of this civil war is basically a lose-lose situation. Therefore, before the official battle between the two forces, the leader asked his uncle to take Qin Shan, the most talented person, to escape from the internal fight and come to a place that had been monitored for a long time and that might give birth to the power of the moon spirit, hoping that Qin Shan could obtain the power of the moon spirit. The power of the spirit reintegrates the Immortal Palace Gate. Let the Gate of Immortal Palace continue.
However, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. The signs of the Moon Spirit's appearance were nearly four months later than expected. In these four months, perhaps the Immortal Palace Gate had already been devastated and beyond repair.
Qin Shan was still puzzled, so he continued to ask: "With the power of the Moon Spirit, will my cultivation level be improved, so that I can defeat the heroes and reunify the Immortal Palace?" The master uncle let out a long sigh. , nodded, shook his head and replied: "With the power of the moon spirit, you almost become a god." Then he sighed again and said: "However, this kind of divine power has a serious backlash on our bodies. The more you use it, the more you will become a god." The more, the sooner you will die.”
I was shocked when I heard what the cook said. I jumped up and hurriedly interrupted: "What! The more you use it, the sooner you will die?!" The cook seemed a little surprised and asked: "What, Bai Ke didn't tell you before? "I replied angrily: "No! I will never use this kind of power again!" The cook's expression was briefly surprised, then returned to normal and said: "Don't worry, brother, what you have on you should be caused by you. Grandpa Li has improved, because your performance is very different from that in the autobiography I read." I felt a little more relaxed, but still asked angrily: "What's the difference?" The cook smiled: "Listen to me Let’s finish the story.” Xiao Qian also smoothed things over and said sweetly: “Oh, cousin, don’t be so anxious, how about we listen patiently to the end.” Looking at the charming Xiao Qian, I shrugged and sat down again. .
