Chapter 684: The Past of Yuling Sect
"Great, there is another peerless person, no, two. That little Sword Master is the disciple of Sword Master, and Liu Jiakai is the grand disciple of Sword Master. This, this, this, this... are much stronger than that Ji Mu guy!!
Looks like I have to serve this young master well in the future! I want to see how many people dare to take action even if the sect’s secret is exposed.”
No matter how you look at it, this move is extremely beneficial to the Yuling Sect.
Master Kongxuan was in a good mood immediately. He untied the wine gourd from his waist and drank heartily. The wine poured into his mouth madly. Soon he was drunk and felt dizzy.
Chang Qing raised the corner of his mouth. This Taoist Kong Xuan was really easy to guess. He took the bait so easily.
He took out a few jars of liquor from the pendant and placed them on the table, and then took out the dried meat of spiritual beasts bought from the Yuhai League, which made Master Kongxuan's eyes light up.
"You kid, get on with it!"
"No, I am also a foodie. How can I drink without food? I just happen to have these, so it won't spoil the fun."
The spicy dried spirit beast meat paired with the strong liquor made Master Kong Xuan take several big gulps of the wine and his head began to feel dizzy.
Seeing that Master Kong Xuan was enjoying his drink, the timing was right, and Chang Qing hurriedly asked the question in his mind:
"Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master Ji seems to have some opinions about Bing Zun. Aren't they master and disciple? How could it become like this?"
If you just ask directly without any hesitation, it won't make people feel disgusted.
Master Kong Xuan paused, a rare gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he suppressed the surging drunkenness, looked at Chang Qing seriously, thought for a moment, although he didn't know Chang Qing's intention of inquiring about this news, but thinking that Chang Qing would not harm them, he brewed the wording in his mind.
Chang Qing felt creepy when being looked at by Master Kong Xuan. His scrutinizing eyes seemed to see through what he was thinking, which made him shocked. It turned out that none of the old monsters who had lived for a thousand years were good people. If they really tried to dig a hole for him, they would most likely get into trouble.
But soon, he was seen lifting the jar of wine, drinking madly, and then slamming it hard on the table.
"You are deliberately beating around the bush to get me to tell you something! Why don't you just ask me directly? When you joined my Yuling Sect, you became a member of my Yuling Sect. Now that you are a guest official, there is no need for us to use these tricks."
Master Kongxuan glanced at Changqing helplessly.
Chang Qing lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty. He did not know since when, he seemed to have been making plans intentionally or unintentionally, as if calculation had become part of his life, but now he suddenly discovered that life was much more than just calculation.
Chang Qing stood up and apologized to Master Kong Xuan: "It is my fault that I am narrow-minded."
"Sit down, sit down. I know a little about Ji Mu's story, but not much. I don't know what happened between him and Bing Zun. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you."
Master Kongxuan was chewing some dried meat, but his thoughts were drifting far away, revealing a hint of nostalgia.
"This story started a thousand years ago. I was still very young at that time, um~~ about the same age as you are now. There was no Yuling Sect at that time. We were a group of more than a dozen casual cultivators with similar interests and the same ambition to save the people. We couldn't stand the darkness and hypocrisy of the sects in the world, so we used all our savings to buy this piece of land with a second-rate spiritual vein in this corner of the world in Zhuixian City."
Listening to Master Kongxuan's story, Changqing nodded. This was very similar to the rumors outside.
“At that time, the Yuling Sect only had one mountain, and the highest cultivator was only at the Kaidan realm. It was far from being a third-grade sect, and even some of the large families were far inferior to it. There was only one mountain at that time, and all of us, a dozen or so, were cheerful and caring people. We had very good relationships, and we played, joked, discussed Taoism, and practiced. We lived a very comfortable life. We even thought that this kind of life would always be comfortable.” A smile appeared on Master Kongxuan's face, as if he missed the past years very much.
Chang Qing's mind was filled with satisfaction. Isn't this exactly what he wanted...
"Until two of the dozen people fell in love with each other and became Taoist couples. The male cultivator's surname was Ji and the female cultivator's surname was Mu. They held a mortal wedding, which was very simple. There were only a dozen of us as friends, but it was still quite lively. Not long after, Ji Mu was born. His unreliable father said that he was too lazy to come up with a name, so he just used the two surnames as the name. But we all know that this is also a kind of love for each other, and we see it but don't say it out loud."
"Time always passes quickly." Master Kong Xuan looked at his wrinkled palms and smiled bitterly.
"In the blink of an eye, Ji Mu was eight years old. We, the dozen of us, raised him since he was young, and we all learned our own skills. When he was eight years old, Ji Mu's spiritual root awakened, and he became a top-grade water spiritual root. We were all shocked at the time, and we took more pains to teach him. Soon we found that Ji Mu was very good at cultivation, and he could even learn magic at a glance. This is definitely not something that a top-grade water spiritual root can have, so we suspect that his body is close to the Tao.
We were all happy about this discovery for a long time, but bad news soon came. We found that Ji Mu's mother was extremely weak as if she had a serious illness. We spent a lot of money to invite a pharmacist, and then we learned that her essence was exhausted when she gave birth to Ji Mu. She had been relying on her love for the child to hold on all these years, just to watch the child grow up a little bit. After all these years, seeing Ji Mu embark on the immortal path, she felt relieved and relaxed, but finally she couldn't hold on any longer. "
There was a hint of complexity in Master Kong Xuan's eyes. How could he just let go of the death of his relatives and friends so calmly?
"In the end, Ji Mu's mother died before the spring flowers bloomed. On the same day, a young man came down the mountain. As he walked towards the top of the mountain, all the grass and trees on the mountain turned into ice and frost. I don't need to tell you who he is!
The young man stood in front of the grave and watched the two men burying his Taoist partner and his mother, repeatedly clenching his fists and letting them fall. We were instinctively on guard against the young man, who was full of disdain for us. With a wave of his hand, we were swept down the mountain.
Then we felt a terrifying pressure coming from the top of the mountain, spreading throughout the world. Countless forces in the southern region felt this pressure and trembled. When we appeared in the sky, Bing Zun had already captured Ji Mu and his father and quickly disappeared into the sky. "
"We searched for them for a long time but received no news. It was not until a long time later that we received a letter from Ji Mu's father and learned that the person who came that day was actually a world-famous person, and Ji Mu's mother was actually Bing Zun's eldest disciple. That's why Bing Zun traced the aura of his disciple's death and found this place. Perhaps he saw Ji Mu's talent, or perhaps it was as compensation that he treated Ji Mu very well and wanted to keep him by his side to teach him personally.
We were so happy about what happened that our correspondence became smoother. Ji Mu's father said that we didn't need to worry about him, that he was doing well and had countless resources, and that his cultivation would definitely soar to the sky the next time we met. Ji Mu even sent us a large egg, saying that the egg had come to them on its own and refused to leave, so they could cultivate it on their behalf.
Soon the black bird hatched, and news spread that Ji Mu was accepted as a disciple by Bing Zun, and his future was limitless. "
