Liu Zhen's tone was without worry, but rather with a trace of excitement!
An old man, how can he be excited to such an extent!?
"Great Elder, are you not afraid that this matter will prevent the three and a half practitioners in your Guqiang City from advancing?" Doubtfully, I asked a question.
"Why should we be afraid? The bottleneck becomes more difficult, that requires deeper understanding and stronger abilities. In this way, if a such cultivator appears, Guqiang City will rise to another level. If we succeed in cultivation and become Yang Shen, Guqiang City will have several supreme ancestors. Then even the small fry will not dare to offend!" Liu Zhen displayed an open-minded attitude.
This is the difference in mindsets. At least, I hadn't thought of the connection between bottleneck transformation and strength before.
I just thought about it. To endure the constant presence of poisons that were not usually there, one must also bear the interference of stronger inner demons, and this is the cost.
As the person involved, I forgot that there will also be great rewards after paying a huge price.
"Alright, Little Friend Qianshen, I will discuss this with my Master. He once said that he would use Tian Gong Spring to solve the issue of dead bugs flowing out, and then go to feel the call in the dark and prepare for deconstruction."
"I hope that during his deconstruction, he will allow people to witness the ceremony. If he agrees, I will send a letter inviting you, along with Master Siyan, to come and attend."
"I hope that both my Guqiang City and your four-principle Mountain can find enlightenment from it." These few words of Liu Zhen at the end made me feel dazed.
The venue was actually occupied by Liu Zhenqi, Siyan, Wu Jinluan, and others.
Siyan deeply bowed, and Wu Jinlan and the others looked at each other in astonishment, their eyes filled with admiration.
I have asked almost all the questions I can ask, and I am about to bid farewell and leave.
Wu Jinlan interjected with a question to Liu Zhenqi about the outer leakage of "Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains" technique.
He meant that Qiu Ji had agreed to inquire about and discuss this matter, but then suddenly changed his mind and did not proceed.
Liu Zhenqi paused for a few seconds, then replied: "It is probably because the ghost inside Ji Kui has already fled and perished, Qiu Ji asked me about it after learning from him but did not inform Mr. Wu. This is a secret of Guqiang City. It can be said as... One should keep one's dirty linen at home."
Wu Jinlan was momentarily startled and said, "It's Mr. Wu's mistake for not considering it carefully."
In reality, Wu Jinluan had a good heart. He was just curious and wanted to know the exact origin and development of this matter. He did not expect that this would involve Guqiang City's family secrets.
"Haha, I don't mind it. He has been scattered and disappeared, which is also an old matter from that time. Here, it has finally come to an end. The outside world has not gained the Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains technique. He has been extinguished within Guqiang City." After a brief pause, Liu Zhenqi opened up and told the story from beginning to end.
This is something from several generations ago in Guqiang City.
There were two senior teachers among the Qiang people that year!
According to the rules, a senior teacher should only have one. Usually, when teaching disciples, one will choose one person and impart knowledge with all his heart. Since the Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains technique is not an ordinary skill, it can even be used in wind and water fortune-telling. In the words of Guqiang City, a feng shui master can manipulate one's destiny, and a highly accomplished master can influence the fate of wind and water. Therefore, the inheritance is very difficult.
But that year, a genius emerged.
The senior teacher had already chosen a close disciple and had imparted much knowledge to him.
The Qiang who amazed everyone with his talent only learned the superficial appearance of the Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains technique, and even deduced new star signs. Usually, senior teachers learn from the essence of their predecessors, and the Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains technique was only compiled by the first senior teacher.
That disciple effectively expanded the inheritance of Guqiang City itself.
This is equivalent to a Taoist newly discovering powerful divine arts, which has significant implications!
Upon hearing this, I did not interrupt Liu Zhenqi, but rather felt something in my heart.
The Taoist from Tiecha Mountain had said that the Juqu Mountain has been to Shengjing, Heishui, and Jianglin long ago. I had also made an inference that perhaps the move of the Taoist technique I have learned now was created there?
Therefore, Tiecha Mountain would be sighing over the fall of Juqu Mountain.
That disciple who appeared in Guqiang City at the beginning was indeed gifted and talented!
Liu Zhenqi paused slightly and continued, "Therefore, that generation of senior teacher made an exception by taking an additional apprentice. Several years later, at the succession ceremony, an unprecedented dual consecration was performed, appointing two senior teachers without distinguishing between seniority or principal and deputy."
"The senior teacher who deduced new star signs would not over-involve himself in Qiang affairs. He often sealed himself away and left Guqiang City. Accompanied by Taoists, he would travel the outside world, traversing mountains and rivers to see more wind and water formations, deducing more star signs. He felt that Guqiang City should venture beyond this lush mountainous land of the Qiang, which was met with opposition from the tribe."
"He was indeed audacious and reckless, egging on and agitating a group of people to split away from Guqiang City."
"He believed that Guqiang City was stagnant, and that with the strong wind and water art, the Qiang people should dominate the wind and water in the yin-yang world. He believed that Pure Yang Temple should unconditionally obey without any qualification to interfere in this matter."
"He used the Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains technique to kill a real master elder as a warning."
"The final events were not as complicated, Guqiang City was united. The people he incited to rebel felt he was too domineering and too vengeful, so they turned against him. In addition, the master teachers in his tribe's techniques were also not weak. Guqiang City maintained its unity. However, at that time, Guqiang City could not catch him, and he disappeared from the world."
"As for the methods of controlling ghosts, he has never shown them off. It is probably because he entered the first suppression mountain, hiding it from everyone and took something inside."
Liu Zhenqi shook his head, and finally said, "According to the information brought by Mr. Luo and Mr. Wu, at least Guqiang City can judge that he did not achieve anything in the end, not even leaving behind a decent disciple or inheritance. He couldn't return to his roots after falling leaves, and he still harbored resentment against Guqiang City. Until today, everything has finally ended in smoke and dust."
Wu Jinluan nodded and sighed, "It was greed that made him think of dominating the wind and water in the yin-yang world, perhaps he even wanted to conquer divination arts and then dominate the entire yin-yang world."
"It's possible that he really tried, but it's difficult to imagine that the negative Tombs Observed Through Shadowy Mountains technique could match up with the same level of divination arts, forming the power of a master feng shui practitioner. An equal level of positive calculation transmission must exist in established Daoist temples for thousands of years. Even if the negative arts are as strong as those of high-level masters of yin and yang, what can one do? It cannot be stolen, and low-level positive calculations will only make him lose balance, causing him to have evil thoughts and hinder his progress. Finally, he died in regret."
Wu Jinluan's words were very profound, and I couldn't understand them very well.
Liu Zhenqi nodded slightly.
"Focus more on Qiu Ji. Although he is fine, I always feel that something is still off." I interjected.
"Your concern, Young Qianshen, is reasonable. We will keep a close watch," Liu Zhenqi said.
