Apprentices choose their teachers, and teachers also choose their apprentices. It is not easy for an apprentice to find a good master, and it is even more difficult for a master to find a suitable apprentice.
Especially the first disciple who is the founding disciple is very important. He is also called the top disciple. He can represent the master in times of trouble and later teach the junior disciples on his behalf. In the future, when the master is gone, the first disciple can also accept disciples on his behalf...
It can be said that the ability and character of the master brother are crucial to the future success or failure of the sect!
Liang Xingyang regards whether he can regain his mind as the threshold for cultivating immortality. After buying it, the test has just begun.
He passed the "Qing Jing Sutra" to Xia Cunxu and taught him Qi Qigong. The next morning, he was ready to take him away from here to the Lost Soul Pass.
Xia Cunxu said: "I want to go home and ask Master for permission. First, my parents have not collected the bodies of my loved ones, so I have to go back and bury them. Second, I have an immortal magic weapon at home and I have to go get it."
Liang Xingyang nodded: "Yes, I should go back and let you and the others rest in peace."
The two returned to Qiaoshan County, which was the fiefdom of King Yuping. According to the Great Xia Dynasty calendar, their family's descendants could never leave the jurisdiction of Qiaoshan County, unless they had special permission from the emperor to go out even once. When you get to the prefectural city, you also have to go to the capital to ask for an imperial edict.
The county seat was looted by the Bone Army and set on fire, leaving the city in a state of chaos.
Xia Cunxu returned to the palace and looked at the black ruins. Tears could not stop pouring out: "Father! Queen!"
He stumbled in and searched, shouting and crying as he searched.
Liang Xingyang stepped into the sky and had a bird's eye view of the entire county from a high place. His mood was also very heavy. The last time he went to the city to cut down the demon flags, his mood was not like this. The last time it probably had nothing to do with him, he could only sympathize. This time, through Xia Cunxu, he was talking to this place. With the indirect bond, we began to have empathy.
When they fell, Xia Cunxu had already found the bodies of his parents, fetched water from the well, wiped his parents' bodies, and went to the cabinet to find clean clothes for them to change into. During the process, he shed tears and cried. Liang Xingyang felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
Xia Cunxu first took care of the bodies of his parents, and then went to take care of the others, uncles, elders, brothers and sisters, and finally the servants, maids and servants. He deliberately counted them all and brought them to the courtyard and laid them out neatly, a total of sixty-seven. , there are still many corpses that have not been found. They most likely ran away from here, were willing to join the Bone Army and were taken away, or they may have been burned to ashes.
Xia Cunxu kowtowed to the deceased, wrote a memorial poem that was full of literary talent and revealed his true feelings, and burned it after reading it while crying.
"Master, our ancestral grave is in Beishan outside the city, thirty miles away. I think..."
"I'll help you." Liang Xingyang nodded.
"No, no, I don't dare to bother Master. I just want to ask Master to grant me some time. I can do it myself."
Liang Xingyang pointed to the sun that was about to set: "When you bury all these sixty-seven people, ten days and a half will not be enough. You first carry your parents to the back mountain, and leave the rest to me."
Xia Cunxu went to carry his father, Old Yuping Wang, to the back mountain first. Although he was only sixteen years old, his figure was still very slender, and he had gone through many hardships, but after all, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his muscles and bones were strong, and he also practiced internal Qi. Carrying the body Walking on the mountain road is quite brisk.
Liang Xingyang watched in the sky using his escaping light. When he arrived at the cemetery, he found that the place was full of potholes and had been dug up by the Bone Army. When he entered the tomb, he saw that the coffins were broken and the bones were pulled out and thrown outside. Xia Cunxu almost fell on the spot. Fainted.
Weeping, he searched the bones, rearranged the coffins, carried the bodies of his parents over, placed them in a side room, and kowtowed bitterly.
In this tomb, his grandfather, his parents, his brothers and sisters were buried, and his uncle and cousins were also buried.
Liang Xingyang did not ask Xia Cunxu to carry the rest of the accidents. Instead, he used the Xuanqiong Escape Technique to take the body directly to the mountain, let him carry it into the tomb for burial, and then used the Earth Control Technique to seal and bury it again.
Now that you have taken care of it, just be a good person and do it to the end.
Liang Xingyang whipped up a gust of wind, rolled up all the corpses inside and outside the county, blew them to Beishan, burned them with a fire, and then used magic to open several large pits to get the ashes in and bury them all.
After doing all this, it was already the third day. Xia Cunxu was so sad that his eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and he was staggering when he walked. He had several fevers during this period. If it were not for the pill, he would have collapsed long ago.
He took Liang Xingyang back to the palace, found a secret door behind the rockery in the garden, and entered the underground secret room.
"My father actually wanted to cultivate immortality, but he was restricted by the law and could not do so. However, he liked to make friends with upright immortals. When I was five years old, my father made friends with a swordsman named Zhenren Weiyang. It is said that my father saved his life. He was very grateful to my father and gave my father an immortal magic weapon. He said that if no one in our family has ever cultivated immortality, he would treat it as a plaything and give it to me. My father treats it as a decoration. If someone wants to cultivate immortality, he only needs to burn incense, pray, and offer the magic weapon in the air, and the thing will fly to him, and he will come to accept his apprentice."
"Oh? Then why do you still worship me as your teacher?"
"I... I tried it secretly once when I was a child. Although the thing emitted light and flew in the air, it did not go anywhere else. It fell back after a while..." Xia Cunxu explained, "Now I worship you as my teacher. Naturally, I have no chance to meet Master Weiyang, but it is an immortal magic weapon after all. Now that I am leaving with you, I may never come back again. I must take it away to avoid abandoning it in these ruins. , causing the treasure to become covered in dust.”
On the long table in the secret room, there is a barrage-carved shelf with an ice pick placed horizontally on the shelf.
The ice hammer is about one foot long and as thick as a longan. It looks like it is carved from crystal. It has spiral patterns and engraved talismans. You can feel the coldness on the pavement even though it is far away.
As soon as he saw this thing, Liang Xingyang immediately blurted out: "Xingxuan Cone!"
He quickly walked to the desk, picked up the ice pick and looked at it carefully, and then took out another one from the Qiankun bag in his purse. The two looked exactly the same!
It turns out that this magic weapon is introduced in the weapon refining volume of "Xuan Qiong Zhenjing". It needs to be refined with thousands of years of cold crystal iron. The whole process does not require any fire. It is polished with eight kinds of metals. There is a Nine Heavens Talisman on it. It was invented by Master Xuan Qiong. magic weapon.
The one in Liang Xingyang's hand was obtained from the old man Tianzhu. The old man was killed by the two disciples Jing Fen and Caiyin. The star swivel cone was inserted into the heart of the old man Tianzhu. At that time, even the soul was taken away. Nail it, if it weren’t for the great power of the old man Dzi Zhu, he would have been put to death at that time!
Unexpectedly, I can meet another one here. It seems that the real person Weiyang must be the successor of Jingfen or Caiyin, and he attaches great importance to being favored, otherwise this fairy magic weapon will not be passed on to him. inside.
Xia Cunxu saw him silently holding the ice pick, so he came over and asked, "Master, is this treasure called the Xingxuan Cone?"
"Yes." Liang Xingyang nodded and said with a smile, "You can't be considered an outsider now. I will have something to say when I meet the real owner in the future."
He put away his ice pick again and handed the other one to Xia Cunxu: "This is a good treasure. Take it. Well, your qualifications are very good, but I am very strict about accepting apprentices. You have to If you want to get my true inheritance, you must do three things for me."
Xia Cunxu took a deep breath and his face turned red: "As long as Master is willing to accept me, I can do anything you want!"
