Chapter 73 Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13, The Hidden Star Sovereign Xia Jinyi's eyes widened, and he said coldly, "Say it again." Chi Ji gave him a sympathetic look, and said, "Ms. Xiuchun has hanged herself and is pregnant. My son specially sent me to inform you." Xia Jinyi stared at his hands in a daze, stopped talking, and Chiji backed out. Just as his footsteps stepped out of the door, he heard a sobbing cry, which was a heartbreaking cry. , Chi Ji felt sour in his heart, and hurriedly quickened his pace. Xia Jinyi sat on the floor of the room in a daze, Li Hanyou no longer appeared in his mind, he just recalled everything that happened after meeting Xiuchun, from the frivolous teasing at the beginning, to the fact that this delicate woman had walked into the In his own heart, how many times the two of them slept in each other's arms, looking forward to a bright future together, he even thought that in a few years, he would be rich enough to take Xiuchun away from home, and his hometown was a sad place, so he couldn't return , but there are still many places in the world where they can settle down.Until, on that day, I saw Li Hanyou, the woman who devoured my life and dreams, the woman who changed my destiny but completely forgot about myself. From that moment on, his life was over, and every time he Ri just thought about how to please that cruel prince, how to find ways to get revenge on Li Hanyou, so he willingly risked his life to complete the task that Jiang Zhe entrusted to him, just because he knew how insignificant his own strength was, for To a Fengyi sect disciple, a royal princess, and a general's wife, her own life and death are just like ants, so if she wants to take revenge, she has to tear down the big tree she relies on, so King Yong and Jiang Zhe have become his only choices. , but even in those painful days, there was always that beautiful figure by his side, comforting him, encouraging him, and letting him have a ray of light in his heart, but he didn't take her into consideration. Secretly, he didn't even say goodbye to her. He even thought that if he faked his death, then this gentle girl would forget himself and have a happy life of her own. Her child is gone, what a cruel decision, why did she make such a decisive decision, is this retribution, is this retribution for helping the prince to kill so many innocent girls?

The more he thought about it, the more painful it became. Xia Jinyi felt his internal organs were on fire, dizzy, and soon passed out. Half asleep and half awake, he seemed to have returned to his hometown with Xiuchun, men farming and women weaving, and living a leisurely life. Joyo, as if her parents were still alive, was hugging her son and grinning from ear to ear.In the haze, Xia Jinyi subconsciously used the inner strength taught by his master. It is a kind of inner strength that has no effect but can refresh people and sleep better. For many years, Xia Jinyi has been uninterrupted every day, although there is nothing There are other advantages, but although his internal strength has not increased, it has become more and more mellow, and in the past year, in order not to dream of Li Hanyou's beautiful shadow, Xia Jinyi has practiced extremely hard. Today he is in great pain, and he can't help practicing. But as he practiced, Xia Jinyi only felt a fiery warm current rising from his dantian. After Xia Jinyi hesitated for a moment, the warm current had already flowed into his limbs and bones. The pain actually eased a bit, and with a move in his heart, he continued to exercise. Sure enough, warm currents gushed out from his dantian. He intentionally endured the greatest pain, but instead practiced exercises more seriously. The pain that seemed to tear his whole body made him feel a little bit comfort.Before he knew it, he had become obsessed with it.

If someone came in at this time, they would see a strange scene, a man's body was full of energy, but it was burning like a raging fire, and his expression was peaceful in pain.It was also Xia Jinyi's luck that Chiji, who came to deliver meals at noon, saw the door was closed and thought he was sad and refused to come out, so he just yelled outside, put the food on the table, and didn't think of going into the dormitory to see him, otherwise Xia Jinyi There must be death and no life. In the middle of the night, Xia Jinyi only felt a gust of cool zhenqi gushing out from his dantian, flowing all over his body. Wherever the zhenqi passed, his limbs gradually recovered. The sadness and guilt in his heart no longer made him want to die in pain.He sat up and felt a sour smell on his body. Looking carefully, it was pitch black. He hurried to the yard and washed it with well water. After taking a bath, he stretched out his hands, only to feel that his skin was so white that it was almost transparent. , moisturizing and elastic.He couldn't help being shocked, he didn't know what happened, at this moment, someone behind him sighed: "Yi'er, you have finally broken through the barrier of seven emotions."

Xia Jinyi looked back, and under the bright moonlight, a Taoist priest in yellow was standing with a smile. The Taoist priest did not know how old he was. Ren is his second mentor, Taoist Meng Daoren of Tiandu, he stepped forward to bow down, and wanted to cry bitterly, but felt that there were no tears to shed, and he couldn't help feeling even more strange. Meng Daoren stepped forward to help him up, and said: "Yi'er, you can already know some things today. The teacher is not an ordinary person, but the current master of the Star Sect of the Demon Sect." Xia Jinyi was slightly taken aback, he had heard his master talk about the three sects of the Demon Sect, and only when he went outside did he know that few people knew about these things, and he once suspected that his mentor might be a member of the Demon Sect, but he thought that only the mentor treats him best from the beginning to the end , put it aside, and heard his mentor admit his identity today, Xia Jinyi felt a big stone in his heart instead.He laughed and said: "No matter what the master's status is, Jin Yi doesn't care, but there are many things Jin Yi doesn't understand, so please tell Master to tell Yi'er."

Meng Daoren pulled Xia Jinyi and sat on the stone bench in the yard. He smiled and said, "My good disciple, I did not choose the wrong successor for my teacher. Listen to me slowly. I said before about the three sects of the Demon Sect. Chaos, scorching sun, Hanyue Fu, Yin Xingshou, it is just that the three sects have their own division of labor. The first suzerain of my demon sect came from a humble background. He hated those rich and nobles. He believed that the decline of a country was because of those The wealthy royal family that sucked the blood of the people is extremely corrupt. He once said that if the king is wise, the people will suffer less; He believes that if the people are in poverty, someone must rise up and create a new world, and the new dynasty will allow the people to have a hundred years of well-being, so he does not want the people to suffer when the dynasty declines, so he created three sects , the Rizong is the general who rose up, and the Yuezong is the military strategist who prompted those wealthy families to kill each other, jumping into the chaos of war, subverting the court, and promoting a new situation. I am afraid that there are not many disciples left, and the war is chaotic, so it is no wonder that this is the case, but since then, how can my demon sect maintain its lifeline, so the patriarch, his wisdom is as deep as the sea, and he created the Star Sect. The purpose of the Star Sect is to hide In the world, like the stars in the sky, although we are familiar but do not know each other. Moreover, our Star Sect bears the great responsibility of inheriting the magic sect, guarding the secret treasures of our sect from generation to generation. Young people with great ambitions choose some to teach them the martial arts of the Japanese sect and the military strategy of the lunar sect. Therefore, although the demon sect is often surrounded by black and white and the imperial court, it always revives. It is our credit. It is a pity that the patriarch I can't think of a better way to bring peace to the people. I can only use war to clean up the filth of the world and create a new peace."

A look of doubt flashed in Xia Jinyi's eyes, and he asked: "Master, wouldn't Xingzong just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight in that way? Wouldn't it be too much to stir up chaos in the world while staying out of it?" Meng Taoist smiled bitterly, and said: "Silly boy, do you think it is easy to find the heirs of the Star Sect? The Star Sect has been passed down from generation to generation. After each suzerain takes over the mantle of the previous suzerain, he must look for disciples who can pass on the mantle. The suzerain of the previous generation will return to the secret treasury guarded by our Star Sect to devote himself to cultivation. The Xingzong secret heart method is called the "Nine Death Art". After practicing this kind of heart method, the heart will be the strongest. , then we will never die, and this kind of mentality can allow us to live to over one hundred and twenty years old, but up to now, the seventeenth generation of Xingzong has almost been interrupted twice."

Xia Jinyi thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that the heirs of the Star Sect have some special requirements that are difficult to meet." Meng Daoren smiled wryly and said: "The first requirement of the descendants of the Star Sect is to have no relatives and no reason, and the six relatives are severed. The three requirements are to weather the wind and frost before the age of thirty, and to see through life and death. These three requirements have left very few candidates to choose from, not to mention that our Star Sect also requires that the successor must be at least middle-aged and above."

Xia Jinyi thought for a while, and said: "These conditions, the disciple can barely meet, but the disciple believes that if there are only these conditions, then there is no difficulty." Meng Daoren took a deep look at him, and said: "This is because of the limitation of the purpose of Xingzong. The disciples of this sect can neither enjoy the glory and wealth, but need to wander around to increase their knowledge. When encountering the danger of his life, he can only escape but not fight back. In this way, even though he is the suzerain of the Star Sect, he will remain unknown all his life. How can this kind of shackles be tolerated by a person with peerless martial arts, so the rules of our sect, If you pass the test before the age of 30, you can become a registered disciple. From then on until the age of 60, you can indulge freely, but you cannot practice high-quality martial arts. Anyway, the Nine Death God Kungfu can save your life. If you die unfortunately, it can only mean that this person He has an unbearable temperament and is not worthy of being the successor of the Star Sect. After the age of sixty, we thought we could discern this person's nature and formally accept him as a disciple."

Xia Jinyi thought deeply: "In this way, the disciple is not the only candidate?" Meng Daoist apologized: "Yes, I have chosen two people before you, but it seems that you have the best hope at the moment. Now you have cheated death and become invisible, and you have gone through catastrophic changes. Now you have broken through the Nine Deaths Skill The third level of 'Seven Passions', if you can abide by the laws of the Star Sect in the next thirty years, then I believe you will become my successor." Since Xia Jinyi broke through the Seven Emotions Pass, he only felt that his thoughts were quick and his emotions gradually became indifferent. Instead of comforting his mentor, he asked, "If all of us meet the requirements, how will the mentor choose?"

Meng Daoren said proudly: "I am the strongest of the Demon Sect. If you pass, then it will naturally depend on who can survive after you cannibalize each other." Xia Jinyi smiled faintly, and asked again: "Since that's the case, I have already qualified for the pre-selection, Master should also teach me some little tricks, so that I can save my life." Meng Daoren didn't think it was disobedient, and took out a small booklet from his arms, on which were written some petite scripts, Meng Daoren said: "These things are all trivial skills, it shouldn't matter if you learn these self-protection, but you also have to understand, If you are unwilling to be lonely, you can become famous all over the world by relying on these things, then you will lose the qualification to succeed the suzerain. If you don't mention the word Xingzong for the rest of your life, then you can spend the rest of your life in peace."

Xia Jinyi smiled coldly and said, "Do you really trust us candidates? I'm afraid there are other means of control." Meng Daoren's eyes flickered, showing a hint of a smile, took out a red pill from his bosom, and said: "This is the true love Gu developed by my master of the Demon Sect on the basis of Miaojiang Gu poison, as long as you take this medicine , and then swear that unless you become the suzerain of the Star Sect, you will not be able to mention the matter of the Star Sect for the rest of your life, and then I will use tricks, then it will be fine." Xia Jinyi took the Gu pill, and said indifferently: "This medicine is just an order from Master, and I will be poisoned to death." Meng Daoren shook his head and said: "That's not the case, as long as you don't mention the matter of Xingzong, then your life and death as a teacher can't be controlled, and the truth Gu has another advantage, that is, it can delay aging and not be affected by other Gu poisons." It’s harmful, so as a teacher, I didn’t remove this Gu until I was eighty-three years old this year and needed to explain the sect’s secrets to you.” Xia Jinyi believed that what the teacher said was true, his face gradually softened, he picked up the Gu pill, and asked: "Men, do you know what happened to this disciple?" Meng Daoren sighed slightly, and said: "As a teacher, I know nine out of ten. When I was a teacher at Kongtong Mountain, I saw that although you were honest and honest, but your face was miserable all your life, that's why I stayed to observe. You returned to Kongtong Mountain. Dong, report the family affairs to the master, I have checked it for you, before the Fengyi sect sent people to kill you, I tried to let the head of Kongtong know about it, so he didn't dare to offend Fengyi Sect, drive you out of the sect. You worship me as a teacher, I don't teach you other martial arts, but turn you into today's prodigal son. The first is to make Fengyimen feel at ease with you, and the second is because if you want to If you want to become the suzerain of our sect, if you are not unrestrained and self-entertaining, how can you survive those long years. Later, after you went down the mountain, although I did not follow you, I bought a gentleman from Liangshan with a lot of money in advance and asked him to follow you It has been several years, so this time you had an accident in Chang'an, so I came here in a hurry. The only pity is Xiuchun. The girl and your unborn child leave safely, and I will have no fate with you, but who knows, this little girl was killed." Xia Jinyi's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, what are you talking about? Didn't Master Jiang say that Xiuchun hanged himself?" Taoist Meng gave him a pitiful look, and said: "I arrived at the palace a bit late, Miss Xiuchun's body was still warm, she was stabbed to death, although it was a secret, it couldn't be hidden from my eyes." Xia Jinyi hissed: "Who, who killed Xiu Chun, she is just a weak woman, neither threatening nor worth, who will kill her." Meng Daoren said lightly: "I went late, and I didn't see the murderer, but can't you guess it?" Xia Jinyi felt as if his heart was being twisted, so he turned his face away and stopped talking.Meng Taoist sighed: "If I don't tell you about this, you are likely to become my successor, but I don't want you to regret it for the rest of your life, son, you should do it yourself in the future." Xia Jinyi looked at the twilight outside the window, but felt that he wanted to cry, but he said flatly, "Master, to what extent can I achieve that I am qualified to participate in the competition for the suzerain position." Meng Taoist took a deep look at him, and said: "I believe that when you lose your qualifications, you will understand that a small person can use the brilliance of others, but if many people see your own brilliance, you don't have to. Go, thirty years later, in the monastery where our master and apprentice lived, I hope you can come to the appointment on time. Now, it's time for you to take the medicine." Xia Jinyi looked at the Gu Wan, and said in a low voice: "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, apart from hatred, there is nothing else in this world that I can't let go of." , he only felt that the pill would automatically roll into his stomach as soon as it touched his lips. Daoist Meng glanced at him with relief, and said: "I hope that our master and apprentice will meet again. I have already tapped their acupoints for the people in this house, and now they are about to wake up and leave for the master." The yellow shadow flashed, and Taoist Meng disappeared. Xia Jinyi's handsome face showed a smile. It was a kind of smile that made people feel bitter when they saw it. Not long after, Chiji appeared with a disturbed expression. He had his acupuncture points tapped last night. Meng Daoist's technique was brilliant. Not only did he not notice it, but someone else was very good. It was so heavy, so I came here to check on Xia Jinyi's situation. When I came in, I felt that Xia Jinyi's complexion had changed a little, but seeing Xia Jinyi's confused expression seemed to be in great pain, so I didn't want to ask too many questions. I just asked tentatively: "Xia Jinyi Didn't you rest last night, young master?" Xia Jinyi smiled faintly, and said: "My beloved is dead, Jinyi cannot sleep peacefully." Chiji's expression flashed with understanding, and he said: "Young Master Xia is still expressing his condolences. Although it is painful to lose his beloved, Miss Xiuchun knows, and I hope that Young Master Xia will live happily." Xia Jinyi was slightly taken aback, and said, "Why, little brother, do you know the pain of losing your lover at such a young age?" Chi Ji sighed slightly, and said: "My son has a poem, which has never been circulated outside. If Mr. Xia is interested, I can sing it to you." Xia Jinyi said with interest: "What is the word, I will accompany you." Sadness flashed across Chiji's eyes, and he said, "It's a song called Qinyuanchun." Xia Jinyi took out the flute, concentrated his mind, and played it. Chiji followed the music and sang in a low voice: "Life is fleeting, life is so unlucky, how can you forget it when you are low. Remember the blue waves and moon cold, the green sleeves and swallows dance; the silver man crosses darkly at the curved place. Love is so hard to stay, and the flowers are gone. Win a deeper cry. Illness for a long time , Longing lovesickness for a hundred turns, who will describe the beautiful shadow. Lying down at night listening to the bitter rain.It is expected that there will be frost in the future with short hair.Only the blue sky is boundless, and the mortal relationship is broken; the butterfly shadow is fluttering, and the feeling is hurt.I want to think about Qingyan, but I can't bear the red blood. In my dream, I smell the fragrance of yesterday several times.It's really helpless, the sound of Qian's Yedi sounds, and the ileum is composed. " Xia Jinyi played the song while listening to it, but later, the song started to play intermittently, but it became more and more sad. When the song ended, Xia Jinyi felt that the heartache that seemed to disappear had reappeared, and finally burst into tears like rain.
