"Not the only one?" Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Xu Ming blankly, his mind didn't react for a while.

"Second brother, do you know that there are still such people?"

Xu Ming nodded and said, "Not bad." Moreover, that person lives in Tianji Pavilion, you ...... Should know who I'm referring to. ”

Ling Chen thought about it, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "What did you say...... It can't be that young man, right?" At the beginning, when he went to the Heart Cultivation Pavilion for the first time, Huang Zheng and Liang Tian rushed to accept him as an apprentice, so they fought hard. As a result, a young man suddenly appeared and stopped Liang Tian and the others. In the face of the young man's reprimand, Liang Tian and the others listened honestly, and they didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal. You could see that they were very afraid of the young man.

At that time, Zhou Qi was still serving in Tianji Pavilion, and he specially asked Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi couldn't tell the identity of the young man. In addition, the last time he competed for the Nine Yuan Pill in Tianji Pavilion, that young man also appeared. However, he didn't say a word the whole time, put down the Jiuyuan Dan and left.

Ling Chen has always been curious about the identity of that young man. At this moment, hearing Xu Ming talk about this, Ling Chen couldn't help but be shocked.

"Second brother, do you mean that young man ......?"

"It's not him. Xu Ming shook his head and said, "The young man you are talking about is my junior brother. ”

"Senior brother?" Ling Chen was taken aback again. Xu Ming's news was so heavy that he was about to faint. After sorting out Xu Ming's words, Ling Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and waited until he finished digesting the news before he spoke: "Second brother, what do you mean...... Your master, like our ancestors of the Ling family, is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years?"

"So to speak. As far as I know, my master and Ling Gengqiu are from the same era, as for his identity, I don't know very well, he never mentioned his past to us. When he was around, my junior and I were all called Master, and we didn't even know what his last name was. ”

"Then why does he live in the valley of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion?

"I've also thought about this question, there should be some kind of relationship between him and Tianji Pavilion. However, no matter what happened in Tianji Pavilion, he would not ask, let alone make a move. I've been with him for so many years, and I've never seen him step out of the room. I suspect that he had been in that room for decades, and he had never even been out of his room. ”

Ling Chen asked strangely, "Then how did your master accept you as an apprentice?"

"I was very young, only two or three years old, and one time I went out and was knocked out by human traffickers. When I woke up, I found myself in that room. Since then, I have been by Master's side. I remember that at that time, in addition to Master, there was another person, who was my senior brother, who was more than 20 years older than me. My master doesn't care much about me, it's my brother who takes care of me. It wasn't until I was twenty years old that he allowed me to leave the room. However, the scope of my activities at that time was limited to Tianji Pavilion. It wasn't until my kung fu was successful that I was allowed to leave Tianji Pavilion and help them do some things to train themselves through actual combat. In this way, I wasted 30 years of my time. ”

"Second brother, since you are his apprentice, why are you leaving? Is your master willing to let you go?"

Xu Ming sighed lightly, as if recalling something, and said with palpitations: "He didn't let me go, I escaped by myself." That man...... My Master, he is a terrible person. ”

After a pause, Xu Ming continued: "By chance, I found that the floor of the room was a little loose. At that time, I was thinking about repairing the floor, so I removed all the wooden floors that had been laid on the floor and prepared to refill them with dirt. However, I found that the dirt underneath that floor was very soft and there were many bugs in the dirt. Those bugs only appear where there's decay, so I'm curious about what's going on underneath the dirt. After some time, I dug up the dirt under the floor and prepared to get rid of all the bugs. However, when I dug half a meter underground, I suddenly found a highly decomposed corpse. At that time, I was really frightened, who would have thought that there was a corpse buried in the place where I rested every day. ”

"Although the body was highly decomposed, after I dug it up, I was able to identify him, and it turned out to be my senior brother. At that time, my senior brother had been away from us for a long time. I asked Master, and he told me that my brother had gone out to practice, and he didn't know when he would come back, and maybe he would never come back for the rest of his life. For this, I was sad for a long time. My brother took care of me as if I were his own brother, and I had the deepest relationship with him. However, I found his body in my room, which showed that Master was lying to me, and Senior Brother never left. He's dead, he's been killed!"

Speaking of this, a trace of grief flashed in Xu Ming's eyes. After being silent for a while, he continued: "There are only me, senior brother, and my master living in that room, I can't kill my senior brother, and I don't have that ability." Although my senior brother is only in his fifties, he is already a master of the heavenly rankings. After finding my brother's body, I examined it carefully and found that there was a hole in the top of his head, the size of a fist, which should have been directly pierced by someone with great force. If you can do this, and make the senior brother have no resistance, there is no one else except the master. ”

Ling Chen frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Second brother, why did your master do this? Is it because your senior brother made a mistake?"

"No! At the place where I found my brother's body, I dug up three more bodies one after another. Because of their age, they have all turned into bones. But, without exception, these people were fatally wounded to the head. Because of my fear of Master, I didn't dare to say anything about it, and I kept it in my heart, and even those corpses were buried intact. Not long after, when I woke up in the night, I found that there was a two or three-year-old child in the house. Master told me that he was my junior brother and asked me to take good care of him. ”

"From that moment on, I knew that Master had arranged all of this. When we grow up, Master will secretly kill me like he did with my brother, and then find an excuse to perfunctory my brother. Then, he will continue to find a child as an apprentice and let the junior brother take care of it, and so on and so on. Because of this, I found an opportunity, sneaked out, and never went back. ”
