Zuo Yan glanced at Su Man and said quietly, "Alliance Leader Yan was originally a lay disciple of Qingliang Temple, cultivating with his hair uncut. Lay disciples are equivalent to outer disciples and cannot access the inner teachings of the temple, so his martial arts skills are only third-rate. But at the martial arts conference twenty years ago, he suddenly overwhelmed the crowd, even the heads of the major sects were unable to compete with him. That's how he became the leader of the martial arts world."
Su Man's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Is it because he got some secret manual?"
"It takes time to cultivate secret techniques, but it took only a month from the time he left Qingliang Temple and returned to secular life to the time he won first place in the martial arts conference."
More than a month...
Not to mention forcing things to grow faster, even drinking chemical fertilizers would not be enough.
Zuo Yan continued, "There are many different opinions in the martial arts world. Some say that Alliance Leader Yan received guidance from an immortal, while others say that he relied on sorcery to achieve such a huge increase in power. The most widely circulated rumor is that Alliance Leader Yan possesses an item that can transform a layman into a martial arts master overnight."
"Is there such a thing in the world?" Su Man murmured.
Zuo Yan flicked the teacup with his fingers, making a ding sound. "If you are really Yan Ling'er, then you are the only one who knows the answer."
Su Man suddenly remembered what Alliance Leader Yan had said to Yan Ling'er before he died, "Don't tell anyone where it is..."
From this we can see that Yan Ling'er knew about the existence of that thing.
Su Man thought of something, "Who did you invite?"
Zuo Yan raised his eyes, "The abbot of Qingliang Temple, Master Yueyin."
-
In the front hall, an old monk in a cassock held a Buddhist rosary and bowed to Jian Anhe, "Master Jian."
Jian Anhe helped him up and said, "Master, you are embarrassing me. You are the abbot of Qingliang Temple, a highly respected master. How can you bow to me?"
Master Yueyin smiled, "All beings are equal."
He spoke in a slow and steady voice, just like his appearance, with a sense of peace.
Jian Anhe was in no mood to listen to these big truths. At this moment, he felt like he was carrying fifteen buckets of water in his heart, and he was very nervous.
He didn't know why the music master suddenly came to his house, nor did he know why he came.
For a moment, thousands of possibilities flashed through his mind.
Jian Anhe's face turned pale and blue, and Master Le Yan just looked at him quietly.
Jian Anhe felt a little timid when he saw his clear eyes. "I wonder what brings you here from so far away, Master Yue Yin?"
Master Yueyin clasped his hands together and said, "I am sorry for disturbing you without your prior notice. I just heard that my old friend's daughter is staying at the Jian family, so I came to see her."
Hearing that Master Music had indeed come for Yan Ling'er, Jian Anhe's heart sank.
He forced a smile and said, "Master, your arrival is truly unfortunate. It's true that Ling'er stayed with me for a while, but she left the day before yesterday."
“…”
Master Yueyin said nothing, but just looked at him with those eyes that could see through the world.
Jian Anhe's smile became stiff, "Master, do you not believe what I say?"
"Since I have asked Master Jian, I will not doubt your answer."
After saying this, Yue Yin seemed to be in a trance. She closed her eyes and played with the Buddhist beads in her hand, "Amitabha."
Jian Anhe was at a loss as to whether to speak or remain silent. After pondering for a while, he finally spoke, "Master, you have come a long way, why don't you stay and have a simple meal?"
Master Yueyin kept turning his Buddhist beads and said, "Sorry to bother you."
-
At the same time, Su Man raised her eyebrows unconsciously when she heard Zuo Yan's words.
"Didn't you say that Alliance Leader Yan was only an outer disciple of Qingliang Temple? Then how did Master Yue Yin become friends with him?"
"Why do you think Alliance Leader Yan came to Qingliang Temple to cultivate his cultivation without hair? It was Master Yue Yin who personally recommended him. Although Alliance Leader Yan later became the leader of the martial arts world, he still held Master Yue Yin in the utmost respect, and the two of them kept in constant contact."
Su Man was thoughtful.
If that's the case, then Master Yue Yin might know what kind of adventure happened to Alliance Leader Yan, and what that thing was.
Ignored, Zuo Yan knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, "Why are you the only one being talked about? How about the thing I asked you to do?"
At Zuo Yan's urging, Su Man hid the memories about Alliance Leader Yan and Yan Ling'er, and recounted everything Lin Lang had done to her before.
"You mean, once you see that jar, you can't move and can only obey her orders?" Zuo Yan asked.
After receiving Su Man's affirmative answer, Zuo Yan's expression became solemn. "If my guess is correct, you were implanted with a mother-child Gu. As the child Gu grows larger in your body, it can control your mind and obey the orders of the person controlling the mother Gu. Judging from your current condition, the child Gu in your body is about to mature."
"Done?"
Su Man's expression changed slightly. "It's done. Does that mean I'll soon become a puppet controlled by them?"
"Not necessarily. Perhaps, all they want is your identity. Once the child Gu is fully developed, they can kill the child and keep the mother, eliminating the trouble forever."
Zuo Yan's gaze slowly slid across Su Man's face. In just half a month, the strange totem had occupied most of her face.
Suddenly, Suman realized something.
If the music master suddenly visits, will they go all out and take action in advance?
It seems that this move she made not only pushed Jian Anhe into a dead end, but also pushed herself into a dead end.
Just as she was thinking, Zuo Yan stood up and said, "I should go."
...
"Are you healed?"
“…”
