When the name Liu Qishuang was mentioned, everyone in the room had different reactions.
This name is rarely mentioned now, and everything about him has long become a thing of the past. The two young disciples, Yu Xing and Zhou Li, only heard of this name from their master before entering Frost Forest Valley last time.
But Hua Shi was different. Ever since he had seen the portrait at the Lingdao headquarters in Ningshan a long time ago, he had always been concerned about things related to Liu Qishuang. So when he heard this name, he was always more sensitive than anyone else.
"How is Liu Qishuang?" Hua Shi asked hurriedly.
Xuan Shuzhi knew Hua Shi would be nervous, so he quickly said, "He was seriously injured, and the townspeople rescued him. However, he remained silent. No matter what others asked him, he refused to tell them what happened that night. Ten days later, his injuries gradually recovered, and he was finally able to walk."
After a pause, Xuan Shuzhi said, "No one would have thought that after he recovered his ability to walk, he would actually leave the town and enter the Frost Forest Valley alone."
Hua Shi's eyes widened slightly. After listening to Xuan Shuzhi's words, everything seemed to fall into place.
Liu Qishuang's family suffered a major change, so she went to Frost Forest Valley later.
The scene that Hua Shi had seen in that valley was exactly what happened when Liu Qishuang entered the Frost Forest Valley. And according to their conversation at that time, Liu Qishuang's family seemed to be related to the ancient clan in the Frost Forest Valley, so he knew the secrets of the ancient clan.
And he said he wanted to serve the Son...
The question at hand seemed to have returned to the beginning. Of the two children in the cave, which one was the Liu Qishuang who later appeared in front of everyone? What happened to them in the Frost Forest Valley that caused the place to be destroyed like that?
Xuan Shuzhi didn't know that Hua Shi had other information. He just continued, "What exactly did he do in Frost Forest Valley? Was it related to the destroyed ruins? When did he come out? We haven't found out yet. But he appeared in the records again, in front of everyone as Liu Qishuang, eight years later."
Eight years later, Liu Qishuang was seriously injured and was rescued by the then Lord of the Spiritual Path. Later, he joined the Spiritual Path headquarters and became an elite disciple of the Spiritual Path. Then, the Lord of the Spiritual Path got into trouble, and Liu Qishuang temporarily took over as the Lord of the Spiritual Path.
These are things that everyone knows.
“So Liu Qishuang entered the Frost Forest Valley twice, and after the second time he entered, he specially set up a formation here. Was this also to hide the secret of the ruins in the Frost Forest Valley?
Hua Shi frowned and thought hard. These news were suddenly passed on by Xuan Shuzhi. He was temporarily confused, but these were indeed useful news. At least he was no longer so clueless. Xuan Shuzhi looked at Hua Shi who was thinking hard with a special meaning, and finally said: "Okay, this is just a simple guess. You should go and rest first."
Although he said so, Hua Shi was unable to really rest. Hua Shi was already very familiar with Xuan Shuzhi's habits. This man was not a gentle and virtuous teacher at all, but a bully. His so-called rest was just to let him practice martial arts.
Hua Shi turned around and went out to practice martial arts, but he didn't expect that not long after he walked out, Yu Xing and Zhou Li also rushed over and caught up with him, and they were also driven out to practice martial arts.
The three of them practiced in the training ground of Xuanling Pavilion for the whole day. In the evening, several elders came over from nowhere. Xuan Shuzhi, Ji Yan and the leader of Hanxi Sect praised their own disciples. Later, they probably realized that the praise was meaningless, so they called the three people who were practicing over and asked them to compete with each other.
In order not to cause too much noise, the three disciples in this competition did not enter the Spirit Transformation state, and the competition was just a brief one. Everyone knows that in the original Spirit Transformation Conference, Yu Xing and Zhou Li were the most outstanding young disciples, and although Hua Shi had many people vying to accept him as a disciple, his performance was very ordinary. In the eyes of Ji Yan and Sect Master Hanxi, no matter how hard Hua Shi practiced, he would not be a match for Yu Xing and Zhou Li.
However, after two matches, the results were surprising.
Neither of these two people could last more than fifty moves in Hua Shi's hands.
Xuan Shuzhi was very satisfied with Hua Shi's performance. He turned around and said to Ji Yan and Hanxi Sect Master, "You two, what did I say before? Shouldn't you give me the gambling money?"
Hua Shi and the other two disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, only then did they realize that they had been chosen as objects of betting by their masters.
Hua Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Zhou Li was more concerned about Hua Shi's strength: "When did you cultivate to this level? How did you cultivate?"
Zhou Li and Yu Xing were the two young disciples who were most enthusiastic about cultivation. Seeing Hua Shi's strength and progress, they couldn't help but feel surprised and curious. Hua Shi didn't know how to explain it, because he was indeed practicing in the ordinary way. At most, he was beaten a little badly by his master, and he often went to the space of Yunxiu Pen to practice. However, the matter of Yunxiu Pen could not be told to others for the time being.
So he could only turn to Xuan Shuzhi for help.
Xuan Shuzhi waved his hand to help Hua Shi out: "If you also want to become stronger, why not let your master fight with you a few more times? You should know that blindly protecting will not help you grow. Your master is just too cautious."
When he said this, Yu Xing and Zhou Li's eyes immediately lit up with fanaticism, and they both went to entangle their own masters. Ji Yan and Hanxi Sect Master were tricked by Xuan Shuzhi, and the two were helpless and amused, and soon led them away.
In the next few days, because there were still some things that needed to be discussed, the Lord of the Spiritual Path and several sect leaders also stayed in the Xuanling Pavilion with their disciples temporarily, and the Xuanling Pavilion suddenly became lively.
However, this still did not have much impact on Hua Shi. He still stayed in his courtyard to practice martial arts and had no way to participate in the conversations with his elders. The only difference was that he had two more sparring partners, Yu Xing and Zhou Li, when he practiced martial arts.
After the cooling time of the Yunxiu Pen was up, Xuan Shuzhi brought Yi Zhan and Jiang Tingwan to find Hua Shi again, and asked Hua Shi to open the Yunxiu Pen space again.
After entering the space, Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan went to a quiet corner of the courtyard by themselves, saying that they wanted to play chess and practice. By the way, they also took away Hua Shi's system white cat. Hua Shi originally wanted to return to the Yunxiu Pen space to pet the cat, but now he found that he couldn't get it at all, so he had no choice but to practice with Jiang Tingwan.
Watching Hua Shi disappear in the training room, Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan came to the room in the corner, and then quickly let go of the white cat and put it down. They coughed lightly and said, "Evil Master, we were a little rude just now in order not to arouse Hua Shi's suspicion."
Xuan Shuzhi was talking about the time when he picked up the white cat.
Yi Zhan stood obediently beside Xuan Shuzhi and nodded repeatedly to prove that they really had no other intentions.
Fang Wei: “…”
If he had not been secretly rubbed on the head, touched on the ears and pinched on the soles of his feet by these two men just now, he might have considered believing what these two guys said.
But now he couldn't really care about it. He could probably guess the purpose of the two people coming to Yunxiu Pen. Before they asked, he said, "I know a little about the things in Frost Forest Valley, but there are some things that cannot be revealed too much."
His words confirmed Xuan Shuzhi and the others' guess, but Xuan Shuzhi was still puzzled: "How did the evil master know this?"
Fang Wei looked at Xuan Shuzhi quietly.
Xuan Shuzhi immediately changed his words and said, "I understand. So this is also one of the secrets that cannot be revealed?"
Fang Wei nodded: "You can say that."
Xuan Shuzhi changed the question at the right time and said, "We saw the stone tablet in the ruins of the Frost Forest Valley and the words on the cave wall. Because we couldn't understand the words on it, we asked many sect elders who were proficient in the ancient writing to look at it. Although those words are different from ancient Chinese, they are more or less similar. Those elders said that the stone tablet contains a terrible legend, a story about worshiping demons." When he mentioned this, his face gradually became solemn: "Evil Master, is this story true?"
Fang Wei was silent for a moment, thinking about the consequences of giving this answer, and finally responded: "It's true."
The room suddenly became quiet. Neither Xuan Shuzhi nor Yi Zhan responded immediately to Fang Wei's words.
Long before they came here, they had heard the story on the stone tablet from the elder who was proficient in ancient Chinese. That story was more like a warning or curse to the Xuanqing Continent than a legend. The plot contained in it was extremely horrifying. If it was true, it would be a nightmare hanging over the heads of everyone in the entire Xuanqing Continent.
There might be a monster in the entire Xuanqing Continent that no one can resist. But no one knows where that monster is now, what it looks like, or when it will appear again.
This matter was so shocking that if it was anyone else who said this, Xuan Shuzhi and the others would probably doubt its authenticity. But since it was Fang Wei who admitted this story, they had to redefine the matter.
Xuan Shuzhi pursed his lips tightly and thought about it many times, trying to determine which parts of the story Fang Wei said could not be revealed, and which parts he could ask about.
After a moment, he asked again: "What exactly is that ruin in Frost Forest Valley?"
Fang Wei said: "As you can see, they are an ancient tribe that used to live in seclusion in the Frost Forest Valley, and they hid there to hide the secret of the monster."
Yi Zhan asked: "Sacrifice?"
Fang Wei nodded: "That's right, this group of ancient people were specially selected by the people in the past to fight against the monsters, and they have lived in seclusion in the caves of Frost Forest Valley for generations to protect the sacrifices and ensure that the sacrifices to the monsters can be completed smoothly."
Xuan Shuzhi's mind fell on the most critical point. He frowned and asked, "Evil Master, what is the sacrifice you are talking about?"
Fang Wei was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "The sacrifice is naturally from the ancient tribe." His eyes were far-reaching, and he continued: "The ancient tribe has pure blood, and is naturally stronger than everyone else in cultivation. It is said that they are the descendants of the hero who became the first generation of monster sacrifices, and those who became sacrifices later were also from the ancient tribe."
Yi Zhan glared and asked, "Are they really willing to do this?"
Fang Wei looked strange, but continued, "Yes, this is their choice. According to legend, when every child of the ancient tribe is born, they will use the tribe's secret treasure to test each child's talent and potential. The child with the most powerful talent within a thousand years will be worshipped as a holy son, receive the best training guidance, and be respected and worshipped by all the ancient tribe members."
Yi Zhan was stunned: "That Holy Son..."
Fang Wei nodded, his tone extremely calm: "Yes, that Holy Son is the sacrifice cultivated by the ancient people."
