Jiang Shuo's inner strength was already extremely profound at this moment. How could an ordinary person approach quietly without being noticed by him? However, this person arrived suddenly. Jiang Shuo didn't even know whether he took the stairs or jumped up directly. This person appeared without any warning. The earth suddenly appeared above the earthen castle.
Jiang Shuo was not surprised at all, but said happily: "Brother Kong Kong'er! Why are you here?"
The person who came was wearing a white robe and a turban on his head. Looking at his face, he saw that his face was like a crown of jade, with bright eyes and sparse eyebrows. He was quite handsome. He was Kong Konger, Li Zhuer's senior brother.
Kong Kong'er and Li Zhu'er have completely different personalities. Li Zhu'er is an iceberg beauty and is serious about words, but Kong Kong'er has a funny nature, and she laughs and curses freely. He winked at Jiang Shuo and said, "Young Master Jiang, we meet again. As soon as Luoyang is menstruating, are you completely healed of the bright salt poison?"
When Luoyang was leaving, Kong Konger once instructed Jiang Shuo to take advantage of the opportunity of the bright salt to remove his inner strength, and practice the Jade Jue magic skill. After Jiang Shuo realized it, not only was there no medicine to cure the poison of the bright salt, but he also took advantage of it to ascend the Jade Jue. The realm of the eighth heaven. Although this was a coincidence, it was also thanks to Kong Konger's guidance.
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "Thank you, brother Kong Kong'er, for your advice. Not only is the salt of light no longer able to do anything to me, but it has also benefited me a lot."
Kong Konger laughed loudly and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say...who is poisoned now?"
Jiang Shuo said hurriedly: "I haven't introduced you to my eldest brother yet. This old man is the senior Dugu Wen who is chasing the clouds and the moon. This is his granddaughter Xiang'er." He then said to Dugu Wen's grandson, "This elder brother Kong Kong'er is Beiming." Senior Zi's second disciple, he was the one who saved me last time when I was captured by Yin Ziqi."
Kong Kong'er crossed his hands and said, "Senior Zhui Yunsou, sister Xiang'er, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Dugu Wen looked at Kong Kong'er in trance, completely unaware of Jiang Shuo's words.
Dugu Xiang said with a smile, "Beimingzi's vision for recruiting disciples is getting better and better."
Kong Kong'er wondered: "How do you say this?"
Dugu Xiang covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Yin Ziqi, the first disciple of Beimingzi, is a bad old man. The two following disciples are both handsome people. Hasn't his vision of people improved greatly?"
Hearing this, Kong Konger laughed and said, "My master accepted Yin Ziqi as his disciple forty years ago. At that time, Yin Ziqi was still a young man under the age of twenty. Yin Ziqi was also a very talented person at that time."
Dugu Xiang blinked her eyes and thought about Yin Ziqi's appearance at the moment. She really couldn't imagine what kind of young talent Yin Ziqi would be when he was young. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Even if you say so, I really can't imagine what Yin Ziqi would be like when he was young. How handsome will he look?"
Dugu Xiang's joking words suddenly awakened Dugu Wen, and he murmured: "What you looked like when you were young... What you looked like when you were young... Yes, Beimingzi, you must have looked like this when you were young."
Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er were stunned after hearing this. Dugu Xiang looked around and asked, "Beimingzi, where is Beimingzi?"
Jiang Shuo said, "Brother Kong Kong'er, is your respected master here too?"
Dugu asked, "What's Kong Kong'er? He's Beimingzi!"
Dugu Xiang shouted: "Grandpa, when did you become blind? Brother Kong Kong'er looks like he is only in his twenties. Even if he has good internal skills to improve his appearance, he will only be forty if he can survive. According to your opinion It is said that Beimingzi was already in his forties when he climbed to Yuxiao Peak thirty-two years ago. How is it possible that he is younger now than thirty years ago?"
Dugu asked: "This is also what I am confused about. Beimingzi on Yuxiao Peak has a long beard, with white hair in his hair, and there are traces of time on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. I clearly remember that he is four years old. He looks like a middle-aged man in his early teens. But judging from his facial features, he obviously looks empty."
After hearing what Dugu Wen said, Jiang Shuo was also confused. He thought, how could there be such a strange thing in the world that gets smaller and smaller as time goes by?
Dugu Xiang clapped his hands and said, "Oh...I know..."
Dugu Wen rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know?"
Dugu Xiang squinted at Kong Kong'er, nodded slowly, and said mysteriously: "Brother Kong Kong'er must be Beimingzi's illegitimate son. They are called master and apprentice, but they are actually father and son!"
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment, but Dugu Wen and Li Zhuer had already laughed out loud. Dugu Wen shouted: "Nonsense!"
Dugu Xiang said: "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Am I saying something ridiculous?"
Dugu asked: "It is common for a son to look like his father, but it is absolutely impossible for him to look exactly the same."
Dugu Xiang pouted unconvinced and said, "Then it's more reliable that father and son look alike than rejuvenating themselves, right? What other explanation can there be?" She turned to look at Li Zhu'er and said, "Sister Zhu'er, Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Although Li Zhuer had a cold personality, she couldn't help laughing at this moment and said: "He is right here, why don't you just ask him yourself?"
Dugu Xiang turned to look at Kong Kong'er again, but Kong Kong'er scratched his head and said, "I forgot. Old friend Dugu, you have seen my appearance. I thought that after thirty years, you had forgotten it a long time ago." "
Dugu Wen smiled weakly and said: "Thirty years is enough to dilute the memory of most people, but Beimingzi, you have suffered from your looks. People with average looks are the easiest to forget everyone, let alone thirty years." , I haven’t seen you for three years and can’t remember it, but the handsome and ugly people are hard to forget. The reason why I hesitated before was not because I didn’t recognize your appearance, but because I couldn’t understand why you are so young but not old. .”
Kong Konger laughed loudly and said, "Then am I too handsome? Or am I too ugly?"
Dugu asked: "Back then, Beimingzi was a handsome man famous in the martial arts world. Because he was so handsome, he often wore a human skin mask to hide his face."
Jiang Shuo then realized that Beimingzi wore the human skin mask for this reason. What about Sister Zhuer? Are you wearing a mask because of your appearance? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Zhuer again, but Li Zhuer didn't look at him. He was paying attention to the conversation between Kong Kong'er and Xiang'er with rare interest.
Dugu Xiang's eyes widened and he said, "You, are you really the senior Beimingzi?"
Kong Kong'er no longer concealed anything at this moment, nodded and said: "Yes, I am Beimingzi."
Dugu Xiang came closer to him and took a closer look, saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... I can't tell that you are in your seventies..."
Beimingzi smiled and said, "Don't say it's you, even I can't tell."
Dugu Xiang asked, "The person who was in Beimingzi in Songmo Valley the day before was also you?"
Beimingzi smiled and said, "Of course it's me."
Dugu Xiang said: "No, no, Beimingzi had a beard that day, and it wasn't your voice." She thought carefully and said, "Although Beimingzi's voice sounded very young that day, it sounded sultry. Your voice is quite different from today." The Dugu family is a musical family, so Dugu Xiang is naturally particularly sensitive to people's voices and is determined not to mishear.
Bei Mingzi took out a human skin mask and covered his face. It turned out that there was a beard stuck to the waxy skin, but it was not his own. He said again: "Is this the sound you heard?"
Dugu Xiang said: "Yes, that's right, that's the voice. It turns out you can change your voice!"
Beimingzi took off his mask again and said to Dugu Xiang, "Do you believe it now?" When he spoke, his lips did not move, but his words came into his ears clearly.
Dugu Xiang put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "So you can ventriloquism!"
Beimingzi smiled and said, "Ventriloquism is a trivial skill. Anyone with a little foundation in internal energy can practice it. If you want to learn it, little girl, I will teach you someday."
Dugu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this. Although she came from a famous martial arts family, she was lazy by nature and did not like to practice martial arts. She was only interested in "fun" martial arts such as Feiyan Walking Through the Stars and Yueying Su Hanliu, such as the ancestral Yanyang Palm, Splitting the Sky Hard skills such as Jin are only popular for a few days. Once the freshness wears off, you no longer want to learn them. It was fun to hear that Bei Mingzi wanted to teach her the art of ventriloquism today, so she was all smiles and agreed.
Dugu asked and knew that although Beimingzi was eccentric and moody, he was by no means a bad person. It seemed that he and Xiang'er had a good temper, and he was very pleased to know that Beimingzi promised to teach him, even if it was this ventriloquism. I'm afraid there is some profound skill hidden in this technique, and learning it will definitely benefit you endlessly.
Jiang Shuo suddenly realized: "No wonder the senior said that he only had two apprentices that day, and I thought he had eliminated Yin Ziqi. But it turned out that I had eliminated myself."
Beimingzi smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, Yin Ziqi has indeed been removed. Yin Ziqi has been removed by me."
Master, not counting my disciples, my only disciples are Kong Konger and Li Zhuer. "
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Isn't Kong Kong'er the same as Beimingzi?"
Beimingzi said: "No, no... Thirty-two years ago, I practiced the Gautama Wheel with Master Huineng. Oh... you may not know this..."
Dugu Xiang said: "I know, I know..."
Beimingzi wondered: "How do you know?"
Jiang Shuo said, "That day when senior was discussing Taoism with Master Huineng, there was actually another person..." But Dugu Xiang interrupted him and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" He was chattering about how they were in the black forest. In the book, he met Jing Kuanren, how he met Master Shenhui and his disciples, how Jing Kuanren told about the time when he secretly studied in Southern Shaolin, and finally, Jing Kuanren witnessed Bei Mingzi and Master Huineng fighting three verses, and Huineng Various stories of death.
After hearing this, Beimingzi let out a long sigh and said: "I only know that it was just me and the master that happened that day. I don't think I have a third pair of ears and eyes. But in this way, it will be much easier to explain to you." Already."
Dugu Xiang gasped and said, "You're saving your energy, I'm exhausted from talking."
Li Zhuer said calmly: "No one forced you to talk." However, her usual indifference was missing from her teasing, and she seemed to be joking.
Beimingzi said: "After discussing the Tao with Master Huineng that day, I seemed to understand it, but I didn't understand it completely. After thinking about it, I found that I was missing a disciple."
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Why is there a lack of a disciple? Why must there be a lack of a master?"
Beimingzi said: "There is just a disciple missing. As the saying goes, teaching and learning are mutually beneficial. The reason why Huineng is Huineng is because he has many disciples. When he teaches his disciples, his own understanding also rises to a higher level without knowing it."
Dugu Wen nodded and said, "This makes sense."
Dugu Xiang said, "Oh, then you found Sister Zhuer as your disciple."
Bei Mingzi smiled and said, "Thirty-two years ago, Zhu'er's mother was not yet an adult."
Dugu Xiang said, "Then you still have a disciple?"
Beimingzi said: "At that time, I thought very highly of myself and felt that no one in the world was worthy of being my disciple, so I became my own disciple!"
Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, and Dugu Wen all exclaimed: "What!"
