Xuanzhenzi blurted out his words, and Master Mingtong couldn't help but be moved and exclaimed,
"So you also have a Yin Jade in your hand, and it is the most core one among the eight?"
"That thing is not on me, it's in the hands of this child."
Xuan Zhenzi smiled half-heartedly and continued to pat my forehead. Master Mingtong looked surprised and suddenly looked at me again.
I was also confused. I looked up at Xuan Zhenzi blankly and said, "Master, are you confused? How can I have any Yin jade in my body?"
Xuan Zhenzi winked and said, "Five years ago, I passed by Zhoujiagou and rescued you. Do you remember what your mother left for you at that time?"
I trembled all over and subconsciously touched my belly, but my brain fell into a memory.
Before my mother disappeared, she left me a total of two things.
One was her corpse elixir. As the corpse elixir was transferred to me, my miserable old woman also paid the price of losing her soul.
As for the other thing, it should be the jade pendant that was taken out from the mouth of my father's corpse.
This thing is a relic of my mother. She paid special attention to it during her lifetime. It was not until her death that she borrowed my father's body and left the jade pendant to me. I have kept it with me over the years, and occasionally take it out to look at it and reflect on others. Is it possible...
Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said, "As a mother, the things you leave to your son are naturally the best. Do you think that jade pendant is really just an ordinary decoration?"
He then explained that the reason why the "Eight Meridians" are mysterious is that these eight families have been guarding a big secret for generations.
The key to unlocking this secret was divided into eight parts, that is, the eight Yin jades, each of which was kept by the descendants of the Eight Meridians.
"Although the Yin Jade has been scattered to various places with the destruction of the eight major families, the most important Yin Jade is still in your mother's hands. Before she died, she gave this Yin Jade to you to protect. Boy, you must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must never let the last Yin Jade fall into the hands of others."
Xuan Zhenzi said, patting my head gently,
"You are the Queen of the Eight Gates and the person most likely to reveal the secrets of the Eight Meridians. If possible, you should also collect the remaining Yin Jade as much as possible."
I nodded dullly to show that I understood, and then asked,
"Since the jade pendant my mother left behind is so important, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said, what would happen even if I told you? This thing is a disaster. No matter who gets it, it will cause big trouble.
"I tell you this secret today because you are an adult and have personally experienced the incident at Shura's Tomb. Your boy is destined to be a boy. He is destined to embark on an extraordinary path. I hope you will understand the burden you bear earlier." It doesn’t matter if it’s a heavy burden on the family, so as not to be confused all your life.”
I seemed to understand, and nodded blankly.
The evil Shura has been dealt with, and there is no need for everyone to stay in the tomb. Then Xuan Zhenzi took us out of the tomb along the corridor.
It took us nearly two hours to return to the ground. At this time, the sky outside had brightened, and the large tomb that originally shrouded Yamawanggou gradually dissipated.
Facing the warm sun shining down from the sky, I raised my head and felt the long-lost warmth. I was so excited that my eyes filled with tears, and I sighed that it was finally over.
"Is it over? It's still too early!"
Xuan Zhenzi sneered twice, looked at the dead village and said, "Just one ordinary Yin Jade is enough to bring disaster to Yamagou. There are six more of the same Yin Jade, and each piece of Yin Jade is in this world." , all represent a catastrophe, and we will be very busy in the future."
I felt that there was something in Xuan Zhenzi's words, so I touched the back of his head and asked, "Sir, do you know where the other Yin Jade are?"
"Know some, but not all."
Xuan Zhenzi rarely showed a very serious expression, and sighed slightly, "The matter in Yamawanggou has come to an end, and it's time for me to leave. Boy, I'll give you another task. After the thick fog completely disappears, find the escaped villagers. , let’s see how many people survive.”
I nodded at first, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Master, where are you going to leave? How can you leave me alone? After I find the escaped villagers, where should I go to meet you?"
This time Xuan Zhenzi did not give an answer, but looked at me seriously,
"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. When your grandfather died, he asked me to take care of you until you were 18 years old. I have fulfilled this promise, and it is time for us to part ways."
"What did you say?"
It was like a bolt from the blue. I never thought that Xuan Zhenzi would drive me away at this time. I was so panicked that I wanted to kneel down to him.
"Master, what did I do wrong that you want to drive me away?"
"Masters, why are you crying?"
Xuan Zhenzi interrupted me sharply and put his hand on my forehead again, "Master, lead me in. Practice depends on the individual. I have taught you a lot. What you really lack is experience in the world. As long as you can keep your nature, you will be better." With years of experience, my future achievements will definitely be good.”
I burst into tears, thinking that I lost my mother before I was ten years old, lost my whole family when I was thirteen, and lost my master when I was eighteen, and I suddenly felt extremely depressed, as if the whole sky was gray.
Xuan Zhenzi sighed, "It's not that I'm cruel, but the place where the old monk and I are going next is not something you can get involved in. You are too young, have a shallow foundation, and have not experienced the world, so you are not able to access these secrets." Qualifications."
Master Mingtong also came up and said, "Zhou Xuan, Taoist brother is doing this for your own good. One day you will understand his painstaking efforts."
I was lost and hung my head blankly.
Huizhen couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly walked to me and said, "Master, where are we going next? Why can't we take Zhou Xuan with us?"
Master Mingtong sighed, "It's not us. Brother Taoist and I are on the road together. You also have to return to Xuankong Temple and continue the unfinished practice."
"What, Master, you don't want me anymore?"
Huizhen's face trembled, and she instantly became even more panicked than me.
Master Mingtong did not speak, turned around, and exchanged glances with Xuan Zhenzi. It seemed that they had already discussed something. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Huizhen and said,
"Silly disciple, keep this letter. When you return to Xuankong Temple, hand it over to the presiding brother as soon as possible. Tell him that I will leave the temple for a few years to deal with a major event that has troubled me all my life. I won't have to do it again in the future. Looking for me."
"Master..."
Huizhen took the envelope with tears in her eyes, shook her lips a few times, and looked confused.
Xuan Zhenzi pulled me aside alone and handed me a talisman bag, which contained several talisman papers that he had treasured for many years.
After handing over the talisman bag, he showed an unprecedented stern look on his face and said in a commanding tone,
"Kneel down. Before I say goodbye, I have a few words to say to you!"
