Chapter 1012: Solving the doubts of the remnant soul (1)
Gu Zheng was still immersed in the sorrow of memories, and she came to her senses when she heard Xiao Yan's question: "Then? I would rather the master didn't recognize me as his disciple, than have such an unbearable future."
Xiao Yan said nothing, quietly waiting for the next step.
"Later, one day, the master was seriously injured in a fight with his enemy." Gu Zhengli's residual soul said in a sad tone, "That was a very serious injury, and it was an injury that the master could not cure even if he burned his life."
"At that time, I was about to go all out to avenge Master. Master stopped me and said that my opponent was also seriously injured and would not survive for long. Just when Master was about to die, Master's eyes towards me began to become gentle. There is a love that Master has never shown to me."
At this point, two drops of water slid down Zheng's body, crystal clear like tears.
"You know, I was so happy at that time. I thought Master recognized me, a disciple who didn't live up to expectations. I hugged Master's body and shouted, Master, don't leave me alone."
The remaining soul in the guzheng continued to speak, and Xiao Yan's eyes turned red as he listened. This senior was like a child who lacked father's love and just wanted to be recognized by his master. Unfortunately, it was too late to recognize him at this time. However, late is better than never.
Just when Xiao Yan was thinking this, the tone of Gu Zhengli's remnant soul suddenly turned cold: "Master could no longer stand still, but he still pushed me away from holding him tightly and said lightly that I still can't scream. His master."
"Why?" Xiao Yan was a little confused. He was about to die and he didn't let his disciples call him master. This master was too unkind.
The remnant soul in the guzheng laughed maniacally, and there were more drops of water on the guzheng body, like unstoppable tears welling up in his eyes. "My heart was almost broken at that time. I cried and asked the master why he didn't recognize me as his disciple before he left." , is it because I am too unsatisfactory and my progress is too slow and I have embarrassed Master? But I have tried my best, and no one has worked harder than me on the road to growth."
"Moreover, Master is about to pass away. If I can't fulfill my filial piety for Master as a disciple, I will be unworthy of Master's life-long teachings and I will never be able to feel at ease in my life. Could it be that Master just has the heart to follow him for the rest of his life? Do I feel guilty for the rest of my life?"
"Do you know what the master said?" The remaining soul in the guzheng suddenly asked Xiao Yan, who was already a little dazed.
Xiao Yan shook his head in silence, because he really couldn't think of what the weird master would say. Although he vaguely captured something, he was still not sure.
Gu Zheng murmured: "Master said that when I surpass him, I will call him master."
"I was dumbfounded at that time. The master was a man with excellent talents. When he was dying, he was already a late-eight-star Dou Emperor and a soul in the early stages of the world. But I had just broken through to the Yi level after practicing so hard, and even the seven-star Dou Emperor The Imperial Capital is not here. Just imagine, with my qualifications, it is already wishful thinking to be able to approach Master's strength, let alone surpass it. Doesn't this mean that Master will never recognize me as a disciple?"
Xiao Yan felt sour in his heart. He understood the sorrow in the heart of the remaining soul in Gu Zheng and wanted to enlighten him with a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

"So I knelt in front of the master and begged him hard, asking him to allow me to ask the master to die for him before he left, in order to repay the master's kindness in teaching me." Gu Zheng was heartbroken and continued, "But the master But he stubbornly shook his head, left me a word and passed away."
"What did you say?" Xiao Yan was a little nervous. This sentence may be the most important reason why the remaining soul in Gu Zheng has been confused for hundreds of thousands of years. It is also the key to whether he can solve Gu Zheng's confusion.
"Master said that all his answers to why I was like that and all his explanations to me were written on a piece of paper and left in the guzheng. But I must remember that I must break all eighteen strings Only then can I take it out, otherwise, his soul will not forgive me.”
Xiao Yan looked at the guzheng in front of him and understood that this guzheng was a relic left by his master back then.
"Master, the strings of this guzheng are all made from the tendons of ancient animals. If you want to break them, even Master would have a hard time doing it. How can I do it? You must have strength that exceeds Master. This is not the same as before. , does it mean that he will never recognize me as his disciple? He will not recognize me until he dies!" The remaining soul in the guzheng roared, and the water droplets condensed by the power of the soul flowed more and more, gathering into a stream and falling into the sea of consciousness.
"But I still dare not go against Master's last words, even though I think it is impossible for me to do it." The remaining soul in the guzheng seemed to be talking to himself, "So, day after day, year after year, I don't I kept playing and playing, devoting myself wholeheartedly to the practice of guzheng. When I broke the strings one by one until I broke the eighteenth string, I don’t know how many years have passed, and I also Unknowingly, he reached the peak of eight stars, and his soul power also reached the level that is about to break through from the early stage to the middle stage."
Eight-star peak? The power of the soul is about to break through to the middle stage of the world? Xiao Yan's pupils narrowed tightly into needles. He never expected that this man could reach such a high level with ordinary qualifications due to his obsession.
"Do you think it's incredible?" As if he had seen through Xiao Yan's thoughts, the remaining soul in the guzheng asked lightly, with a lot of sarcasm in his tone, "I felt the same way at the time. That was something I never imagined in my dreams. The heights that can be reached, and I really reached it.”
"May I ask, senior, how did your soul power reach the world level?" Xiao Yan was greatly shocked and became even more thirsty for knowledge. If even the ordinary soul power of the remnant soul in this guzheng can break through to the world level, wouldn't there be a shortcut to the advancement of soul power? If I could just scratch the surface, it would be easy to break through to the Yi level. Xiao Yan couldn't help but become excited.
"All of this is due to Master." Hearing Xiao Yan's question, the voice of the remaining soul in the guzheng trembled, "Master's message has become the biggest motivation for me to practice hard. The practice day and night has made me in the realm of soul." I had a sudden realization, and later I realized that my qualifications were not so unworthy, but that I was a late bloomer on the road to pursuit. The so-called late bloomer means that the experience of life and the ups and downs in the first half of my life will eventually create the ability to open up the original hidden secrets. The dazzling talents deep in the sea of consciousness.”
It turned out that Xiao Yan deflated like a deflated rubber ball and immediately gave up on his delusions of taking shortcuts.
"But these are not the happiest things for me. What I am happiest about is that I have finally reached the height that Master requires of me."
"But when I couldn't hold back the joy in my heart, I slowly opened the instrument with trembling hands and took out the piece of paper. Do you know what was written on it?" The tone of Gu Zheng's remaining soul suddenly became extremely depressed.
