Chapter 323: Returning to the Trick Gate, a Heavy Burden!
Seeing the old master crying bitterly, Tong Yan's heart was very uncomfortable. He slowly stood up, and then comforted him: "You are already dead, so why do you hold on to the past? When you cross the Nai He Bridge and drink Meng Po soup, even if you want to remember, I'm afraid you won't be able to remember it. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I did hate you before, but seeing you like this now, the hatred in my heart has disappeared. Tell me, who killed you? What's going on now? ”
The old master raised his head and took a deep breath, and his mood stabilized slightly. "I didn't want to talk about it again, but since I met you, I guess it was God's arrangement. After returning from the Meili Snow Mountain, I began my retreat. I vaguely guessed that I was afraid of a bloody disaster, so I hoped that I could change my life against the sky and avoid this catastrophe. However, what I didn't expect was that the old thing actually came back. ”
Tong Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then said puzzledly: "Old thing? Which old thing? ”
The old master gritted his teeth, and then said fiercely: "This person was originally a person in my treacherous sect, but in order to become famous in the world, he did not hesitate to rebel against his master, and was later expelled from the door by his ancestor. Originally, I had only seen some records about him in the teacher's diary, and it stands to reason that he had already fallen into the netherworld. But unexpectedly, after thousands of years, he is still alive. Not only that, but he also learned the art of refining ghosts, the method of refining corpses, and refined himself into a half-corpse and half-ghost thing. I was in retreat, and I was completely unaware of this, otherwise I would never have allowed him to step into the door. But I was still negligent, and this old thing actually colluded with the ghost handsome, sneaked into the door, and broke directly into my retreat. At that time, I was at a critical juncture in my cultivation, and when I was disturbed by him, my qi and blood suddenly reversed, and I was seriously injured. He forced me to surrender the position of head of the door, and if he didn't, he would take my life. But the position of the master of the sect is so important, how can I hand it over to him, a person with a bad heart. I forced a fight with him, but my injuries were too severe, and in a hundred and ten rounds, I died at his hands. He tried to trap my ghost and prevent me from entering the netherworld while my soul was leaving my body. Fortunately, a few ghost servants arrived in time, which helped me escape into the underworld smoothly. I thought that the trick would be destroyed in my hands. But the emperor lived up to his wishes, and let me meet you here. Apprentice, for the teacher to know that he is wrong, he really knows that he is wrong. In fact, after you fought with the Seven Killing Gates, you already repented as a teacher. Apprentice, forgive Master! It's the Master who is sorry for you, and all the mistakes are the Master's fault. Go back to the Trick Gate, and pass on the Trick Gate for me, the Trick Gate can't be destroyed by that thief like this! Woohoo......"
Saying this, he cried again with old tears.
At this time, Tong Yan was really embarrassed, he had already left the Trick Sect and worshiped under the Demon Sect's majestic Cangmen. He is now a member of the Demon Sect, if he returns to the Trick Gate like this, wouldn't he be sorry for Xiongqingcang?
But the old master is so bitter, he really can't bear to refuse, after all, in the end, he came out of the trick gate, and the trick door has a great kindness to him, how can he really ignore the trick door?
Just when he was hesitating, Qing Ming on the side suddenly spoke: "Old man, you are going to die, you think of Xiaotong." Do you know how much he has suffered and how many sins he has suffered in the past few years? All this is thanks to you, and if you know that you are wrong in a few words, can you make up for it? Little boy, you are no longer a trickster, you can't make this trip to troubled waters. The life or death of the trick door has nothing to do with us! ”
Hearing this, the old master nodded lightly and said, "Qing Ming, what you said is good. Indeed, I am ashamed of the child, and I am ashamed of you. The old man ended up like this today, and it was completely my own doing. I owe it to you, but there's nothing wrong with it. It's your mentor after all! The old man begs you, go back to the Trick Gate, save the Trick Gate! As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to his knees trembling.
Tong Yan saw it, hurriedly held his arm with one hand, and said unbearably: "What are you doing?" There is a saying that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. No matter what you did to me before, you have always been my master in my heart. Get up, it's hard to get around, and I'm not going to let it go. I am willing to return to the Trick Gate, I am willing to inherit the mantle of the Trick Gate, and continue to pass on the Trick Gate. ”
When the old master heard this, he raised his head and cried: "Master, I finally have a successor to the sect. My good apprentice, forgive me at last. Even if my soul is gone, I have no regrets! ”
Qing Ming looked at Tong Yan and sighed lightly: "I know that you are still soft-hearted after all." But it doesn't matter, after all, the Trickster has raised us for so long, and we must not let it fall into the hands of others now. But old man, what is the name of the person who hurt you? ”
The old master stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "This person is from the Tang Dynasty and once served as a general in the Tang Dynasty. His name is Bai Yong, and his cultivation is unfathomable. If you encounter it in the future, you must not be taken lightly, and you must be careful. ”
Bai Yong? Tong Yan had never heard of this name, but the old master once said that this person was proficient in the art of refining ghosts and refining corpses, could it be that the old guy who disappeared in the battle of the Seven Killing Gates? If that's the case, that's not bad, at least Tong Yan won't have to look for him anymore in the future.
But all of this has to be premised on that they can get out of here alive. As for whether or not we can get rid of that old thing, that's just another story.
Next, the few people chatted for a while, and then continued to set off in the direction of the Nai He Bridge.
The old master has no worries, so it is natural to spend the bridge as soon as possible and reincarnate as soon as possible. The former master and apprentice finally let go of their grievances, and everything seems to have returned to the way it was when they were in the Trick Gate.
"Disciple, in the future, the burden of the deceit will fall on you. The old man has found someone to tell your fortune for you, although your fate in this life is bumpy, but your life is hard, as long as you can break through, you will definitely be rich and rich in this life. Live well, if you can accept this apprentice in this life, the old man will not live in vain. ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan shook his head and said, "Master, if you hadn't saved me back then, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." You said that you didn't live in vain when you accepted me as an apprentice, and it was my luck that I could worship under your door. In this life, I will never forget your kindness to me. You will always be my Master! ”
The two were chatting while walking, and unconsciously, there was a "whooshing" sound of running water in front of them. Looking up, a three-story bridge appeared in the eyes of everyone. On the stone tablet at the head of the bridge are written three big characters, but the bridge!
This should be the legendary Nai He Bridge, as long as you cross the bridge, you will say goodbye to the world completely.
From here, all the way north, you should be able to reach the Blood Basin Bitter Realm. There, what will they encounter? What is the purpose of sending so many ghosts to the Blood Basin Bitter Realm? The answer will be revealed soon!
