Master Xuanyun sighed softly and said:
"That's all, I didn't tell you originally because I was afraid that you would not be able to accept the truth when you suddenly knew it, and I wanted you to explore it slowly by yourself.
But I didn’t expect that something like this would happen to you. If I don’t tell you anymore, I’m afraid it will become your inner demon and hinder your practice. By then, your chances of survival will be even slimmer. So I’ll make it clear to you. Bar. "
Bu Xiaotian bowed solemnly and said:
"Thank you, Master Master!"
"It's a long story. You should remember that I told you back then that Situ Qingyun, the old owner of Situ Villa, was once a disciple of my Yuxu Sect. Later, he came down from the mountain to continue the foundation of the Villa. One hundred and fifty years ago, there was a battle between good and evil. , he took his son and daughter to Moyun Cliff to help out, and killed the former master of the Black Flame Palace, but he himself also died of serious injuries. His eldest son also died in the hands of the Demon Cult, and his eldest daughter Situ Xue was missing. Many Everyone speculated that she was also killed by someone from the Demon Cult seeking revenge.
But what I want to tell you is that Situ Xue is not actually missing, and her disappearance has nothing to do with the Demon Cult.
When the war between good and evil came to an end, a major event occurred. A swordsman with a high reputation among the righteous path exposed his possession of the devil's skills in desperation to save others.
At that time, countless masters of the Righteous Way died at the hands of the Demonic Cult, and the Righteous Way's hatred of the Demonic Cult reached its peak. This man possessed the Demonic Cult's skills, and even though he had never done any evil, he was still abandoned by the Righteous Way. It just so happened that the Demonic Cult also had Many masters fell into his hands, and the Demon Sect would not let him go.
So a hunt for one person by both good and evil began, and the person he saved was Situ Xue.
Situ Xue despised Zhengdao's ungrateful behavior, so she fled with that man. They fled for nearly a hundred years. It was not until nearly twenty years ago that the two disappeared completely, and the pursuit gradually stopped. "
Master Xuanyun stopped here, but Bu Xiaotian understood what he meant and asked excitedly:
"They are my parents?"
Master Xuanyun nodded and then said:
"Eighteen years ago, the Demon Cult suddenly sent out a large number of masters to gather in Longzhou. It seemed that there was something big going on. But when we received the news and rushed over, there were only scorch marks left in the place where the Demon Cult masters gathered. No extra clues were found.
Later we found out that it was the Demon Sect that found traces of Situ Xue and that man in Longzhou. In that battle, in order to help Situ Xue escape, that man stopped all the masters of the Demon Sect alone, but in the end he was exhausted. And die! "
So that’s it!
Only then did Bu Xiaotian understand why he had never met his father, and why when he asked his mother about his father when he was a child, although she was very sad, she never showed any hatred.
Thinking of this, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but ask:
"Why? Why don't they let my parents go? Just to avenge the masters of the Demon Cult who died at the hands of my father?"
Master Xuanyun shook his head and said:
"Most of the people in the Demon Cult are heartless and unjust, and their vitality was severely damaged in the previous war. Why would they go to such great lengths to fight over some dead people? They are here for your father's skills."
"Just because of a piece of art, I have been hunting them down for hundreds of years?"
"Of course it wouldn't be like this if it were an ordinary skill, but that piece of skill is called "Shengtian Jue"."
Hearing this name, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help showing surprise:
""Holy Heaven Technique"? Is it the same technique that the Demon Lord practiced three thousand years ago?"
Master Xuanyun nodded and said:
"Yes, it is said that the "Sheng Tian Jue" is the supreme secret code of the demon sect, and Qiu Tianren relied on it to unify the demonic ways and become the unparalleled demon lord.
But after the defeat of the Demon Lord, the complete "Shengtian Jue" disappeared. Today, the Demon Sect only has a few fragments, and they are still in the hands of the current Four Demon Sects.
Although the four demon sects are both branches of the demon sect from the past, they are at odds with each other. They all want to annex the other three sects and dominate the world, and they will not share the fragments of "Sheng Tian Jue" in their hands with other sects.
Although the "Sheng Tian Jue" your father obtained back then was incomplete, his ability to cultivate it must have obtained its most important outline. How could they not be tempted? "
Only then did Bu Xiaocai understand the whole story:
"So that's it! Then the Black Flame Palace captured my mother because they wanted to get the general outline of "The Secret of the Holy Heaven"?"
"That's right, so I surmise that as long as they still want to get the general outline of "Shengtian Jue", your mother's life should not be in danger."
After finishing speaking, Master Xuanyun saw that Bu Xiaotian was hesitant to speak, so he said:
"I know what you want to say. Whether it is your mother or your father, we owe them a lot. Now that we know your mother's whereabouts, we should have rescued you, but there are many masters of the Demon Cult. If we act rashly, we will be afraid. Not only will it not save her, it will actually kill her."
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's disappointed expression, Master Xuanyun did not say any more words of comfort and said:
"Okay, you go back first."
Bu Xiaotian did not leave directly. He looked at Master Xuanyun and asked the last question in his heart:
"What's my dad's name?"
Master Xuanyun looked at Bu Xiaotian's somewhat sad expression and slowly said:
"His name is Bu Yunxiao. Remember, don't mention your life experience to others easily in the future. Your parents' affairs have become a taboo. If you let others know that you are their son, there is no guarantee that some people will not treat you badly. Have other thoughts."
Can’t I even admit that I am their child?
After hearing this, Bu Xiaotian stood up and left the hall in despair, but he even forgot to salute several elders.
After Bu Xiaotian left for a long time, Master Xuanyun looked at the other four people and asked:
"What do you think?"
When Master Xuanyu saw no one spoke, he opened his mouth and said:
"In my opinion, he is telling the truth, but he seems to be hiding something."
Master Xuanyun said:
"It doesn't matter what he hides. Although we are elders, we shouldn't pry too much into his private affairs. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, it won't hurt."
At this time Zeng Xuanhai suddenly said:
"I have thought of some rumors about the altar in Shazhou."
Master Xuanhuo seemed to be born to argue with Zeng Xuanhai. He sneered when he heard this and said:
"Do you really believe that there is something left behind by the gods? Even if it is really something left by the ancient gods, how could it be so evil and vicious?"
Zeng Xuanhai glanced at Master Xuanhuo and cursed angrily:
"I see you've been living like a dog for hundreds of years!"
Being scolded by Zeng Xuanhai, Master Xuanhuo's eyes suddenly widened with anger. Just as he was about to scold him back, Master Xuanyun quickly stopped him:
"Okay, let's talk about things. If you want to argue, we can argue later! Xuanhai, please don't hold back. Say what you want to say quickly."
Zeng Xuanhai gained the upper hand and glanced at Master Xuanhuo proudly. Just when Master Xuanhuo couldn't bear it anymore, he turned away and said:
"I once obtained a incomplete ancient book that recorded some rumors from ancient times. The description of the altar and the blood crystal by this disciple of Senior Brother Xiao reminded me of one of the articles.
According to records in ancient books, demons were rampant in ancient times. Among them was a big demon who liked to eat flesh and blood and was called the blood demon.
The Blood Demon acted unscrupulously, and countless creatures were slaughtered by it, which finally aroused the anger of the powerful men of all races. They joined forces to defeat the Blood Demon and sealed his remaining soul. "
"You mean, that blood crystal is the sealed remnant soul of the Blood Demon?"
Zeng Xuanhai nodded and said:
"The power of the blood crystal is very similar to that of the Blood Demon. Even if he is not the remnant soul of the Blood Demon, he should be closely related to it! The sky changed suddenly some time ago, and the remnant soul of the Blood Demon appears again at this time. I am afraid that the two There is no relationship between them."
Master Xuanyu also said:
"Moreover, the Demon Sect has been trying to make a move recently. According to the news from the disciples who came down from the mountain, a large number of Demon Sect masters are heading to the southwest. I'm afraid they are going to make some big move."
Master Xuanyun shook his head slightly and sighed:
"I'm afraid the world will be in chaos again!"
After hearing these words, several people looked a little solemn.
Xiao Tianxiong, who had been silent until now, suddenly said:
"The general situation in the world is like this. We can only do our best to make preparations so that we will not be at a loss when the time comes."
Master Xuanyun nodded and said:
"That's right. Now we can only do our best and obey fate."
On the other side, Bu Xiaotian walked out of the hall and saw Cheng Yunliang waiting outside. He cheered up and shouted to Cheng Yunliang:
"Second senior brother!"
When Cheng Yunliang heard Bu Xiaotian's voice, he turned around and called out:
"Little junior brother!"
Then he looked at Bu Xiaotian carefully, with a trace of sadness on his face, and said hesitantly:
"Why do you...oh!"
He already knew what happened to Bu Xiaotian from the mouths of the junior brothers who brought Bu Xiaotian back.
Bu Xiaotian showed an indifferent expression and said:
"Second Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about me. Things are already like this. I am actually very lucky to come back alive."
Seeing Bu Xiaotian say this, Cheng Yunliang couldn't say anything more, so he could only say regretfully:
"Your talent should be limitless in the future. I never thought something like this would happen. If I had known it would happen, we shouldn't have gone back to the mountain first."
Bu Xiaotian saw Cheng Yunliang looking regretful and remorseful, and said with relief:
"Second senior brother, I don't blame you. I went to Shazhou alone because I didn't want to trouble you. Please don't tell the senior brothers and Ying'er about me when you go back. I don't want them to worry too much."
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's plea, Cheng Yunliang had no choice but to sigh and agree:
"Oh, okay."
After a brief chat, Cheng Yunliang took Bu Xiaotian back to Purple Thunder Peak.
Back at Purple Thunder Peak, several senior brothers and Yun Ying rushed over curiously when they saw Cheng Yunliang's sword light falling in Bu Xiaotian Courtyard.
When they entered the small courtyard, they saw Bu Xiaotian with gray hair and a weak face. Everyone was very surprised.
Chu Yungong asked:
"Junior brother, what happened? How did you become like this?"
Bu Xiaotian didn't want them to worry, so he made up a lie to comfort them and said:
"I'm fine. I just met a master of the Demon Cult in Shazhou and accidentally suffered some injuries. The master just treated me. I will recover in a few days."
These people were all accomplished masters in spiritual practice. It was impossible to tell that Bu Xiaotian's condition was much more serious than what he said. However, seeing that Bu Xiaotian looked like he didn't want to say more, it was hard to ask any more questions.
Only Yun Ying asked Bu Xiaotian over and over again if he was really fine. After Bu Xiaotian reassured her that he would get better, he felt a little relieved.
Then Cheng Yunliang said to everyone:
"Okay, my junior brother is still sick and needs to rest. Don't disturb him here. Let's go back to practice."
Seeing what Cheng Yunliang said, Bu Xiaotian looked like he needed to rest peacefully, so everyone had to leave separately. Although Yun Ying wanted to stay with Bu Xiaotian, seeing that everyone had left, she did not dare to disturb Bu Xiaotian. Tian was recovering from his injuries, so he had to reluctantly leave the small courtyard.
Cheng Yunliang waited for everyone to leave, then whispered to Bu Xiaotian:
"Junior brother, please take good care of your injuries. I believe there must be a way to cure you."
Bu Xiaotian nodded and said:
"Well, thank you second senior brother!"
He was really grateful to Cheng Yunliang for not exposing his lies in front of others.
Cheng Yunliang shook his head and said:
"Well, I don't know whether it's right or wrong to help you hide it from them. Well, you can have a good rest. I'll go back first."
After saying that, Cheng Yunliang also left the courtyard.
When he left the small courtyard, he saw that all the people who had left earlier were waiting outside not far away, so he had no choice but to shake his head and walked over.
When Cheng Yunliang came closer, Chu Yungong was the first to ask:
"Second senior brother, what happened to the younger junior brother? What are you hiding from us?"
Cheng Yunliang thought of agreeing to Bu Xiaotian's request, but did not tell the truth:
"Junior brother is fine, don't worry. There are some things he doesn't want to say now, and I can't tell you. Let him tell you himself when he figures it out."
Everyone saw that Cheng Yunliang really didn't want to say more, so they had no choice but to give up questioning.
In the small courtyard, Bu Xiaotian returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed and recalled everything that Master Xuanyun said to him in the main hall. His heart was extremely complicated and he couldn't help but recall bits and pieces of the past.
Until the evening, Xiao Tianxiong's voice came from outside the door:
"Lao Liu."
Bu Xiaotian came back to his senses, stood up, opened the door, looked at Xiao Tianxiong, and said with some bitterness:
"Master..."
Xiao Tianxiong raised his hand and pointed at the oil lamp on the table, and the oil lamp lit up. Then he said to Bu Xiaotian:
"Go in and talk."
Bu Xiaotian turned sideways to let Xiao Tianxiong in, closed the door again, and then walked to stand in front of Xiao Tianxiong.
Xiao Tianxiong sat on the chair and said to Bu Xiaotian:
"Sit down first."
Bu Xiaotian followed his words and sat opposite Xiao Tianxiong, looking at Xiao Tianxiong, waiting for him to speak.
Xiao Tianxiong looked at Bu Xiaotian and was silent for a long time before saying:
"I know there are some things that are hard for you to accept at the moment, but that's the fact. We can't change anything that has happened. We still have to look forward as a human being."
Bu Xiaotian nodded and said:
"Disciple knows."
Then he asked:
"Master, did you already know my life experience when you brought me back?"
Xiao Tianxiong did not deny it, nodded and said:
"That's right, I never told you because I didn't want you to think too much. At that time, your heart was broken, and you only managed to save your life by relying on the remaining spiritual power of the Canglong Pearl. However, the Sanjiao Profound Gate still left behind hidden wounds that are difficult to heal. Knowing too much is not good for you. Presumably your parents don’t want you to live with too many things on your shoulders.”
"What kind of people are my parents?"
After hearing Bu Xiaotian's question, Xiao Tianxiong was silent for a moment and then said in a complicated tone:
"The first time I saw your mother was when she had just broken through the fourth level of "Dao Xuan Jing" and went down the mountain to experience. At that time, she was like an ice lotus on the snowfield, and like the quiet moonlight, quiet and noble, which made her People feel admiration but dare not blaspheme.
As we got to know each other more, we discovered that her temperament was not as reclusive as she seemed. Although she sometimes seemed cold, she actually cared about others and sympathized with those who were suffering. , always can’t help but help others.
Sometimes she will accept other people's opinions and change herself, but sometimes she is very persistent. Once she has determined something, she will not change it easily no matter what others say. "
From Xiao Tianxiong's tone, Bu Xiaotian heard some special emotions, but what he wanted to know more now was about his father:
"Where's my dad?"
