Cultivate the ruthless way for him

When Zhang Yuan communicated with Lingshu, Zhao Zhao was also awakened by a ray of spiritual consciousness in his sleep.

Zhao Zhao opened his eyes and saw the young man in white standing beside the bed.

The young man has handsome brows and star-eyed eyes, and a faint white light glows all over his body. It is obviously not the body, but the primordial spirit form.

"Brother Liu?"

Zhao Zhao was a little surprised.

After parting from Zhongzhou, Liu Wenkang disappeared like a vapour, so why did he suddenly appear in Guanyin Village.

Didn't he go to pursue his own way?

This matter is as weird as when this person rescued himself from the bottom of Xuexiao Mountain to Xizhou.

The corners of Liu Wenkang's lips curved, revealing a gentle smile.

But he didn't speak, but turned around, walked over the window, and walked out of the thatched house.

Zhao Zhao understood, and immediately got up and followed.

In fact, he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, and wanted to ask Liu Wenkang.In the rush before, coupled with memory loss, before he had time to ask, Liu Wenkang left a letter and left without saying goodbye.

Today he has to ask clearly.

The night was getting dark, the mountains were very cold, and there was a thin cold mist floating in the air.Liu Wenkang was like a cloud of illusory light and shadow, moving quickly through the mist.

The mountain wind blew his black hair and sleeves fluttering.

Zhao Zhao followed behind and asked, "Brother Liu, where are we going?"

Liu Wenkang didn't answer. He left the village and headed northwest all the way to the deep mountains and dense forests outside the village.

The dew became heavier and heavier, and Zhaozhao's snow robe was wet.

However, Liu Wenkang didn't intend to stop at all, he was still stepping on the leaves all over the ground, walking deep into the forest.If Zhaozhao hadn't been sure that this was indeed Liu Wenkang's soul, he would have doubted whether this person had evil intentions and deliberately deceived himself to this point.

There are many demons in Shu.

This kind of deep mountain and old forest is the favorite shelter of monsters.

On the one hand, it is convenient to stay away from humans and build nests; on the other hand, the mountains are the places where the essence of the sun and the moon gather, which is helpful for cultivation.

Although with Zhao Zhao's cultivation base, he is not afraid of any monsters, but in the middle of the night, Zhao Zhao has no interest in fighting.

There is only a waning moon in the sky tonight, looking up from below, there is a lonely bend hanging on the top of an old tree, it is indescribably desolate and desolate.Zhao Zhao simply took out a luminous pearl from his bosom to illuminate it.

Liu Wenkang was moving faster and faster.

The Yin Qi accumulated in the air is getting heavier and heavier.

Zhaozhao looked at the mountain forest full of jagged rocks and thousand-year-old trees, and suddenly felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

correct.

Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that when he was in Guanyin Village, every time Master went to the mountain to practice, didn't he come to this mountain?Once, he couldn't bear the loneliness, so he followed up secretly, and was scolded by his master.

Why did Liu Wenkang bring himself here.

While Zhaozhao was thinking, the front suddenly became clear, and the sound of a stream came, and Liu Wenkang finally stopped.

Zhao Zhao stepped forward, took a look, and found that they were standing outside a cold pool.

There are caves in the depths of the cold pool, and there are waterfalls sloping down on the nearby cliffs, like a water curtain, covering the entrance of the cold pool.On the outskirts of the cold pool is a meandering brook.

Under the moonlight, broken silver flows in the stream.

cold pool.

A light flashed in Zhao Zhao's mind.

Could this be the place where Master retreated and practiced?

Zhao Zhao raised his eyelashes and looked at Liu Wenkang in surprise.

Liu Wenkang stood against the wind, raised his finger, and pointed to the location of Hantan Cave.Gu Yue condensed a ray of light on his fingertips, which dyed this finger with many mysterious meanings.

After pointing, Liu Wenkang waded through the water first.

Zhaozhao suppressed all speculations and followed.

The atrium was beating wildly for no reason.

He vaguely felt that Liu Wenkang's sudden appearance tonight, and brought him here suddenly, was by no means full of food, looking for trouble for nothing.Among them, there must be some hidden secrets that I don't know.

Most likely it was still about the Master.

During the time in Guanyin Village, although the master was with him day and night, he never let him participate in his "practice".

It's not that he didn't blame Master in his heart.

Because the master abandoned him almost every day and went to the mountains to practice.

Sometimes it's half a day, sometimes it's a full day.

He didn't even eat lunch with him.

Is practice so important?More important than him?

He even secretly asked his master if he wanted to be like those monks from the fairy clan, ascend to become a fairy, live in the sky, and never want him again.

The master was taken aback for a moment, as if hearing something extremely funny, he said no gently but firmly.

He happily ate two big bowls of rice, and since then, he has never been suspicious again.Only to be a master is to better protect myself, so I practice hard every day.

Of course, the so-called "practice", from today's point of view, is likely to be the painful process of master fighting against the evil energy in his body.

Zhao Zhao's heart ached.

As soon as I crossed the stream and walked outside the water curtain woven by the waterfall, a biting cold came to my face.

Zhao Zhao couldn't wait to enter the cave, exhaled a mouthful of dragon's breath, and the waterfall retracted automatically, revealing the entrance of the cold pool.

As if some kind of voice of fate was calling, Zhao Zhao walked in step by step.

Liu Wenkang fell behind instead.

The cold cave is about the size of a room, with stone desks and benches inside, and many daily utensils, apparently lived in by people, and a cold jade bed in the innermost.

Holding the Ye Mingzhu in his palm, Zhao Zhao focused on finding traces of Master.

When he walked all the way to Hanyu's bed inside, his gaze suddenly fixed.

In the innermost corner of the cold jade bed, there is a delicate and small grasshopper cage. Over time, the color of the blue bamboo strips has faded, but Zhao Zhao will never forget that small and exquisite appearance.

It was one of the few that Master made up for himself back then.

No wonder he counted the grasshopper cages later and found that one was missing, and he always suspected that Wang Xiaohu next door stole it when he was not at home or sleeping.

It turned out that it was taken away by the master.

Why did the master take his grasshopper cage.

Zhao Zhao put Ye Mingzhu on the bedside, stretched out his hand, and carefully picked up the dusty grasshopper cage. In an instant, countless auras of spiritual light flowed out from the cage, wrapping gently between the young man's fingers and arms.

Zhao Zhao immediately recognized that this was the breath of the master.

Zhaozhao's eyes were sore, and with the inspiration, he suddenly discovered that the seemingly flat cold jade bed in the darkness was covered with scratches, disorderly, and blood stains remained in some places. left in excruciating pain.

Who is it?

Zhao Zhao hardly dared to think about the answer.

Soon, Zhaozhao found the same scratch marks on the side of the tenth bed, on the stone walls on both sides of the cold cave, on the stone table, and in many hidden corners.

Liu Wenkang stood there, quietly watching the young man holding the Ye Mingzhu and searching around.

"You must know what happened here, right?"

Zhao Zhao suddenly raised his eyes and asked.

Liu Wenkang still didn't speak, but reached out and took out a light blue spirit bead from his sleeve.

Zhao Zhao is very familiar with it, it is the water spirit pearl that Liu Wenkang stole from the Liu family that day.

Liu Wenkang lightly tossed the water spirit pearl into the air.

The Lingzhu rotated and floated, getting bigger and bigger, and emitted countless fairy energy, reflecting the cave brightly.After a while, the Lingzhu swelled several times and turned into a huge blue ball of light.

The surface of the photosphere is like a water mirror.

"Shui Lingzhu has the function of reflecting the past."

Liu Wenkang finally spoke.

Although he smiled slightly, his eyebrows were very solemn.

"You can see what happened in the past just by putting the things used by the old people under the mirror."

Zhao Zhao said: "Yes."

He hurriedly walked to Hanyu's bed, took the grasshopper cage gently, and put it on the stone table facing the Lingzhu.

The water spirit bead absorbed the fairy energy emanating from the grasshopper's cage, and the blue bead's body immediately swelled in circles of ripples, and its volume expanded several times again, and the entire cold pool wall became a huge water mirror.

In the mirror, the cultivator in black sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, his pale face was covered with terrifying magic lines, under the moonlight, he looked like a ghost of Shura crawling out of hell.

The monk recited the incantation silently, and tried his best to suppress the further spread of the magic pattern. Due to the extreme pain, his ten fingers turned bluish white, dripping with cold sweat, across the surface of the cold jade bed, leaving traces of blood oozing.

Suddenly, something fell from the monk's lotus sleeve, a blue, small and exquisite grasshopper cage.

The monk's fingertips trembled, as if catching a life-saving straw in the chaos. With a little bit of fingertips, he moved over carefully, and lightly clasped the palm-sized bamboo cage.

Then, hold it in the palm of your hand and put it in your heart like a treasure.

Big drops of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

His eyes seemed to be burning with a faint fire, he lowered his eyes, fixedly staring at the grasshopper cage, thinking of something, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.Immediately afterwards, there was a huge pain, piercing the heart and lungs.

The magic pattern began to spread from the face to the monk's limbs, arms, palms, and fingertips.

The monk hurriedly put down the grasshopper cage, not wanting to let the things in his heart be stained with dirt.

After all, the little guy will use this cage to catch crickets in the future.

The monk put the grasshopper cage on the head of the cold jade bed, and he got out of the bed with his sword, struggling and rolling in the hole, leaving trails on the wall, the ground, the stone table, and even on the cold pool outside. Deep scratches.

Zhao Zhao turned her head away, she couldn't bear to watch anymore.

It turned out that Master endured such pain every day in a place where he could not see.

Not only did he not understand Master, but he also blamed Master in his heart.

Suddenly someone lightly stroked his shoulder.

Zhao Zhao raised his red eyes and saw Liu Wenkang.

Liu Wenkang's eyes are full of comfort, which Zhao Zhao has never seen before in the eyes of this big brother Liu who is always thinking about cultivating the way of ruthlessness.

Can't help but become more suspicious.

Liu Wenkang raised that insubstantial finger again, pointing at Shui Jing.

Zhao Zhao hurriedly focused on looking, not to let herself be distracted.

I saw a change in the scene in the cave. The monk in black was wearing a bamboo hat and wrapped in a large black robe, but instead of practicing on the cold jade bed as usual, he sat quietly on the stone table and put his sword on the It is at hand, facing the direction of the cave entrance, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, a figure walked in.

"Xue Chengfeng, the Xue family in the middle of Shu, has met Cultivator Wu."

The person who came was wearing a brown and wide fairy robe, and saluted respectfully.

The monk in Xuanyi got up and saluted, and asked Xue Chengfeng to sit down.

Xue Chengfeng took out a letter from his pocket and put it on the stone table.

"After receiving the righteous man's letter, Xue immediately wrote to contact the various immortal sects in Sichuan, asking them to help him kill the dragon. It's just that monsters are involved, and the immortal sects have many scruples and various evasions. promise."

The cultivator in Xuanyi nodded, obviously anticipating this situation long ago.

Xue Chengfeng continued: "Fortunately, after learning about this matter, an elder from the immortal sect in Zhongzhou attached great importance to it. He came forward to appease all the immortal sects, and expressed his willingness to send another disciple to help. The time is about five days later."

An elder from Zhongzhou?

Zhao Zhao's heart sank.

Why hadn't he heard Master mention it.

In addition, Zhao Zhao also suddenly remembered who this Xue Chengfeng was.

One of the protagonists in the sensational case of exterminating the family in Sichuan, the letters that the master wrote all night in the thatched hut were also sent to the Xue family.

Later, disciples of the Xue family came to visit and sent letters back to Master.

What does all this have to do with Master?
