, but Feng Xiaoyao had already swept towards the place where the falcon circled.

Seeing the two returning to the Nuan Pavilion together, Nangong Jue smiled at Fang Tao: "I said earlier that you don't have to worry about Feng'er, Li Qiu has a way to cure him..." Before Fang Tao could speak, he heard Li Qiu talk to Zuo Linfeng kept on instigated: "You dug the ground for a long time today, and you've got mud all over your body! It's dirty, how can you eat if you don't clean it up? That sister helped him with a basin of water...Uncle Fang , the blind boy has a bad appetite, can you get him some porridge?"

"What are you yelling about? Don't you know what it means to be ashamed?" Zuo Linfeng really wanted to find something to plug Li Qiu's mouth.

"Although this kid is a jerk, what he said is good. Feng'er should listen to him this time, wash his face first, and then come back to eat something." Nangong Jue said.

Zuo Linfeng had no choice but to nod, took out the booklet and handed it to Nangong Jue: "Father, this is given to me by the third brother, please take a look for my son."

"It's the letter left by Elder Qi in your palace. It seems a bit unusual. I'll tell you about it later..." Nangong Jue glanced at the four characters "Jing Yang Handbook" inscribed on the book.

Zuo Linfeng had no choice but to retreat to the outside room, change his clothes and freshen up, and when he came back, there was already a nest of bright red and fragrant shellfish with rouge and rice porridge and more than ten plates of exquisite cakes and side dishes on the table.

"Master, just use some porridge." Qing Yi brought a bowl of hot porridge to Zuo Linfeng.

Zuo Linfeng nodded his thanks, but said to Nangong Jue: "Father, Third Brother wanted to give this book to me before he died. Does it contain some secrets in the palace that even I, the emperor, don't know?"

"That's right..." Nangongjue's face was surprisingly heavy, and he said slowly: "Back then, Qi Jingyang fought against me three times, and I was tied with him by virtue of Shuanghua Kungfu and hidden weapon skills, and we turned enemies into friends with a smile. , He is a man with clear grievances and grievances, he is a trustworthy, forthright and good man, I saw the flaws in Jade Tempering Kungfu from him, and once advised him to stop practicing, unexpectedly it became the reason for his death..."

"How do you say that?" Zuo Linfeng said calmly.

"The writing of the handbook was just after our third sword fight. In order to find a way to relieve the disaster, he searched all the relevant classics, but he unexpectedly discovered that you Yu Tiantong is not only the candidate for the palace master, but also It is also a sacrifice in a secret ceremony in the palace. It seems to use your blood essence to sacrifice to the gatekeeper of the fairyland—the blood phoenix, and obtain the power of immortality from it. However, Jing Yang hasn't found any real evidence yet. Passed away. Feng'er, you said that he died of madness, but did you witness it with your own eyes?"

"No, Elder Qi died after I escaped from Qingming Peak. I didn't know he was gone until I became the Palace Master. I didn't doubt it at the time, because most people who practice Jade Tempering Art don't live long, and I was ten years old when I was young. I am stubborn and rebellious, and I am in conflict with the elders. I will only be happy when anyone dies, so I don’t notice anything wrong. Now that I think about it, among the elders, Elder Qi is very good to me. He pleaded with the Council of Elders, and talked kindly to me..." Zuo Linfeng could not help but sigh.

"I also heard Hou Junyu say that you are a troublemaker, how many troubles have you caused in the palace?" Nangong asked with a smile as if not inadvertently.

"The small ones can't be counted. The big ones once set fire to two side halls, killed more than a dozen guards, and two guardians... That was all before I escaped. Later, they threatened me with Shishilang Me, I just have to be good." Zuo Linfeng had easily finished off the whole pot of porridge while speaking, and continued to sweep the side dishes on the table.

Nangongjue smiled wryly: "Dare to kill and set fire in Xiaotian Palace, you have a lot of energy to cause trouble, but don't you think it's strange? Not to mention that Xiaotian Palace has always had strict rules, even ordinary sects can't tolerate such crimes like you. For your rebellious behavior, you must have been stabbed and quartered to death, but they have always tolerated and pampered you, and let you sit on the throne of the palace lord, don't you think it is unreasonable?"

"They didn't spare the blind boy! They beat and punished him, and trapped him in the cold pond. It just so happened that there was a nest of ice lizards growing there, the blind boy would have starved to death!" Li Qiu hurriedly said.

"With the shrewdness of those elders, how could they not know that there are ice lizards in the pool?" Nangong absolutely denied Li Qiu's words.

"Father means that they deliberately let me live?" Zuo Linfeng couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that Nangong Jue's words were reasonable.

"That requires you to pass the trials they set up. The underworld cultivates top killers, and often puts them in a desperate situation. It is not surprising that Feng'er used similar methods, especially since Feng'er was young. Rebellion, how could those elders not be able to deal with a small child? Such a big event is still conniving, saying that Yu Tiantong is not easy to cultivate, but to Xiao Tiangong, Feng'er is smart but does not obey orders, but is the most dangerous person. Common sense should be removed before he becomes a climate."

"Isn't that too cruel?" Li Qiu cried.

"Father's words are right, Qiu, if I were the other disciples in the palace, I would have been executed long ago. I didn't like staying in the palace since I was a child, as if there was something that frightened me, so I would rather be killed than once Running away again, I always thought that I was the strongest of Yu Tiantong, so they reluctantly tolerated me, now that the foster father said this, it seems that there is really another reason..."

"Feng'er, think about it carefully, do you want to escape because you are often beaten by the elders because of the strict training, or are you really always afraid of "something"?This matter is very important. " Nangong Jue asked.

Zuo Linfeng pondered for a long time before he said: "The things in the past are very vague. I just remember that after we entered the palace, there were many people who accompanied and took care of us. They could have whatever we wanted, but I was still very scared. It wasn't because I missed my parents and family. I forgot about them long ago..."

"How could this happen?" Li Qiu was very surprised.

"It's not surprising at all. The inheritors of the evil way must cut off their fate, so that they have no worries about retreat, and they can't afford to change their minds. Therefore, before they enter the palace, their memories have been washed away with medicine or magic..." Nangong Jue said.

Li Qiu looked towards Zuo Linfeng, feeling a little more sympathetic.

Zuo Linfeng only focused on reminiscing about the past, and didn't feel any sadness, following Nangongjue's words, he said: "The situation is probably like this, I can't remember anything about what happened before entering the palace, and the same is true for my brother, but I often feel uneasy for no reason. I don't think there's anything wrong, I had a lot of fun with my servant...I remembered something!" Zuo Linfeng suddenly shouted.

"What's up?"

"That day, all ten of us, except Shiyi Lang, were taken to a certain hall. Once inside the hall, I felt very uncomfortable. As soon as the Great Elder stepped into the hall, I burst into tears..."

"Is that great elder ugly? You cried in fright when you saw him?" Li Qiu asked.

Zuo Linfeng's dull eyes were fixed somewhere he couldn't see, and the scene of that year seemed to reappear clearly before his eyes: "...it has nothing to do with being ugly or not. What I saw was not a human at all, but a sea of ​​blood, a deep Thick and terrifying, it was about to pull me into the sea of ​​blood that was swallowed... I was so scared that I kept crying and screaming, and I ran as far as I wanted..."

Even though it happened more than 20 years ago, Li Qiu still felt the abnormal fear in Zuo Linfeng's heart, and quietly reached out to shake his left hand, only to find that even his fingertips were icy cold.

"Feng'er, do you know? This matter was also mentioned in the handbook. Jing Yang said that Xiao Shi fainted in Liuxian Palace for no reason, and became ill afterward. The artifact that suppresses the palace is the rare "Ancestral Lord" who was once in a hundred years, and he was taken away to raise him personally, as for what that artifact is and what the "Ancestral Lord" is, even Jing Yang doesn't know..."

"In this way, the Great Elder should have brought that "artifact" on his body on purpose to test their sensitivity. Because of Feng'er's violent reaction, he was confirmed as the successor, so let him rebel. Also try to save him. "Fang Tao interjected.

Nangongjue added: "The great elder knew very well that Feng'er's defection was based on the instinctive fear and escape of the so-called "artifact" in the palace. The more he was afraid, the more his spiritual sense was far from normal. He is the best person to carry out that mysterious ceremony..."

"After all, what kind of ceremony is that?" Li Qiu asked.

"Who knows? But it shouldn't be a good thing. At least the "Jade Jade Art" itself is very evil. Feng'er, you have been planted with a "Jade Seed" since you were a child. Do you know where the "Jade Seed" came from? what? "

"I don't know..." Zuo Linfeng, who hadn't recovered from his fear, looked very confused, and he thought back slowly: "At that time, the Great Elder pressed a transparent bloodshot crystal on my dantian, and it was like burning a ball of fire. The air mass forced in, and after planting the jade seeds, besides being very painful, there were also many hallucinations. I saw the ball of jade seeds in the dantian, and there were many miserable faces crying, and I was so scared that I couldn't eat or sleep, Great Elder Seeing something was wrong, after asking the reason, he drew a stroke between my eyebrows, and I fainted as if struck by a white electric light, and after waking up, there was no hallucination again."

Nangongjue murmured: "No, that may not be an illusion, but you sensed the true face of Yuzhong! Judging from the signs on you and Jing Yang, Yuzhong should be the spirit and spirit of the palace masters and Yu Tiantong of the past. You see What I saw was probably the afterimage of them before they died. Those elders used some method to seal the essence in the crystal, and then searched for a suitable child, planted the jade in it, and immediately put the jade seed and the child's essence into it if they failed. Put them together into the crystals, and continue to cultivate them successfully, using this method to make the palace strong, but in order to prevent the Tiantong from betraying, there are secret executioners to deal with you..."

"Poyu Envoy! The third brother was killed by Poyu Envoy!" Zuo Linfeng immediately cried out in a low voice when he heard it.

"That's right, Jing Yang is chasing after him secretly.
