Chapter 67 It’s enough if you have this heart (fifth update)

The sunlight shines through the layers of leaves and leaks onto the bluestone path, turning into spots swaying in the wind.

The men and women in black walked together into the depths of the forest garden. The noise in the square in the distance continued, but they had not spoken to each other for a long time.

Wu Qingwan's temperament is still dignified and intellectual, but the sadness on her elegant cheeks cannot be concealed, her brows are furrowed, and she doesn't know how many things she has thought about in the blink of an eye.

Zuo Lingquan was walking beside him, the subtle fragrance of orchids drifting to the tip of his nose in the spring breeze, but he had no intention of admiring the beauty in front of him.

He had just noticed that there was a problem with the Imperial Guard. Jiang Yi told him the seriousness of the matter - as long as the Imperial Guard was ill, the five division commanders in Qihuang Valley would definitely lose their current positions, and it was more likely that Jiang Yi would be killed.

Even the little emperor was removed from power.

These matters are not directly related to Zuo Lingquan, but they involve people around him, so it is impossible for him not to care.

After walking along the bluestone path for a while, Zuo Lingquan spoke first and said softly:

"Senior Wu, what happened to the Imperial Master?"

Wu Qingwan pursed her lips and shook her head without saying a word.

She quickened her pace and brought Zuo Lingquan to a rockery between the gardens. She raised her hand and pressed it on the bluestone of the rockery. The stone in front of her slowly moved away, revealing a road leading to the ground.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't ask any questions and followed Wu Qingwan into the underground.

The underground passage is located in the middle of Qihuang Valley. The spiritual energy in it is rich, but there is also a slight medicinal smell in the air.

Zuo Lingquan followed Wu Qingwan and came to the end of the passage. He saw a stone room - the stone room had the same shape as the Water Curtain Cave, and the pictures on the wall were the successive ancestors of Qihuang Valley.

On the stone bed in the center, an old man with white beard and hair lay flat on it. He was as skinny as firewood and his skin was waxy white. He was so old that his face could not be seen. If the skin and flesh were not still there, it would not be surprising to be mistaken for a skeleton.

There are several white talismans floating around the stone bed, connected in series with each other, showing a green light. There is also a pile of white jade baht placed next to it. It seems to be a formation.

Although the original appearance cannot be seen, the person lying here must be the national master Yue Pingyang.

Zuo Lingquan looked a little more solemn, walked up to him, raised his hand and bowed first.

National Preceptor Yue Pingyang, Zuo Lingquan has heard about it since he was a child in Qinghe County - it is said that he is almost 150 years old and has guarded the Great Dan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. No one can match him in terms of merit or prestige.

It has been more than two years since Dian disappeared from Yue Pingyang, and no monk has dared to act rashly so far, so you can tell something.

Wu Qingwan walked to the stone bed, sat sideways on the futon on the ground, and motioned Zuo Lingquan to sit down too.

Zuo Lingquan sat on the futon, looking at the Imperial Master who was already a candle in the wind, and didn't know what to say.

There was sadness in Wu Qingwan's eyebrows. After thinking for a while, she spoke of the past softly:

"Master is a disciple of the Great Alchemy General. At that time, the Qihuang Valley inheritance was less than a hundred years old. There was only one Linggu monk in the valley. There were wild cultivators for a long time, and ferocious beasts entered the country and harmed the people. The master had a great heart, and in order to eradicate the disaster, he stepped into the door of practice.

, I came out of the Great Pill at the age of twenty and became a member of Jingting Terrace. I have been there for forty years...

...The master's talent is actually very good. He has reached the sixth level of the Spiritual Valley at the age of sixty, and there is no suspense about entering Youhuang. However, the master's intention was not to live forever at the beginning of his training. Even though the elder Jingtai repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, he still decided to leave the master and returned to the world.

Great Dan...

...The spiritual energy of the Great Dan Dynasty is thin and the materials are poor. It is impossible to support the cultivation of the sixth level monks in Linggu. The master is not willing to support him alone with the power of the whole country, so his cultivation has stagnated for nearly a hundred years...

…

...During this period, the master accepted five disciples; the fourth senior brother originally had a chance to take over, but the fourth senior brother went out for a trip and accidentally offended someone, and was beaten into a cripple in the arena where the nine sects select disciples...

...Seeing that the path of the fourth senior brother was cut off, the master accepted me as his disciple again, hoping that I would inherit the mantle; but before I left the master, the master's health deteriorated...

...Master has been fighting for his whole life, leaving countless hidden wounds, and his cultivation has been stagnant for too long, and he is approaching the end of his life. None of us are incompetent. Master is afraid that after his death, the Great Alchemy will be in chaos again, so he can only retreat and forcibly break through to extend his lifespan.

,pity……"

When Wu Qingwan said this, she stopped talking, and there was only sadness in her eyes.

Zuo Lingquan had long heard about the deeds of the Imperial Master and had always admired him in his heart. Naturally, it was the same at this time.

But admiration is one thing, and the actual situation is another - as long as the Imperial Preceptor is not around, no one can shock Sifang Xiaoxiao. If you don't want to find a way to solve it, but instead hide it and pretend to be powerful, sooner or later the Imperial Preceptor will be ruined.

The reputation accumulated.

Although Zuo Lingquan could not bear it, he still said:

"Why didn't you tell Jiang Yi about this?"

Wu Qingwan shook her head and said quietly:

"I don't want to embarrass Jiang Yi. Master is not as good as before. Even if the court remembers Master's merits and for the sake of peace, it will hire someone else to replace him..."

…I know Jiang Yi’s temperament, so for me, she must be replaced. But for me, Jiang Yi was brought up by me and has a deep relationship with Qihuang Valley. As long as the national master is replaced by an outsider, he will basically be replaced from top to bottom.

Once again, several of our teachers, as well as direct disciples, etc., will be reduced to outsiders, begging for food at the hands of others. Jiang Yi will definitely not be able to bear it when we fall into such a situation. If he tells her, she will not be able to bear it no matter what.

Doing so will cause mental calamity, and the avenue may be cut off in the future."

Zuo Lingquan understood the meaning. Replacing the Imperial Preceptor was not just as simple as changing the leader. Once the emperor and his ministers came to power, and the new leader came to power, resources such as white jade baht, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, etc. would definitely be given priority to his own people.

And if practitioners don’t have these resources, how can they be promoted?

Zuo Lingquan thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "But paper can't contain the fire. If you keep hiding it like this, sooner or later you will be unable to hide it. Cheng Jiujiang is so presumptuous today, he must have guessed that the Imperial Master is ill. Are there any other teachers?

The solution?”

Wu Qingwan was worried. It was because of this that she sighed quietly:

"Cheng Jiujiang didn't even ask for a place to go to the Nine Sects, but he also wanted to test the strength of the national master. It can be said that he is not as good as before. Even if he is forced to leave today, he will definitely come to make trouble in the future. We senior brothers and sisters,

They are no match for Cheng Jiujiang. Whenever he forces himself, we will probably be kicked out. What can we do?"

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while, but he had nothing to do. A strong person should be the national preceptor, but he was already unqualified and still holding on to his position. This was unjustifiable in terms of justice. It was reasonable and reasonable for Cheng Jiujiang to come by himself, and Jiang Yi had no reason to show favoritism.

Protect Qihuang Valley.

Wu Qingwan folded her hands on her waist, hesitated, and looked at Zuo Lingquan:

"Nowadays, if we want to keep Qihuang Valley, we can only have someone who can take charge of his own affairs; the disciples sent out in the past have either not cultivated enough or have lost contact long ago; even if they have cultivated enough and can be contacted, they are unwilling to contact them.

We can't force you to give up the road and come back, as this will only ruin our relationship."

Zuo Lingquan saw Wu Qingwan's slightly resentful eyes and fell silent for a moment, looking a little helpless:

"I'm only at the twelfth level of Qi refining. No matter how powerful I am, I can't control the overall situation. If not, who would dare to make a mistake in Qihuang Valley?"

Wu Qingwan turned sideways and faced Zuo Lingquan:

"Actually, there is no need for you to be the leader of Qihuang Valley. As long as you work harder, practice faster, and make a name for yourself outside, the monks of the Great Dan Dynasty will be afraid of you. In this way, even if Qihuang Valley is occupied,

, you can still get your ancestral inheritance back in the future, but I’m afraid you don’t have this intention.”

Zuo Lingquan was stunned. He sat up straighter and said seriously:

"Is it possible that Senior Wu still doesn't know who I am? As long as I enter the Qihuang Valley, I will do my best to take care of him. But now I say these words in vain. No matter how fast I practice, it will take time and I can't solve the current problem.

."

"It's enough if you have this heart."
