Gradually, the vague silhouette of a man appeared behind the small hill. He was walking at a leisurely pace.
At this moment, the man was already less than twenty meters away from them. However, everyone realized that they couldn't see his movements or figure clearly. They only knew that he was getting closer.
Only when this young man walked up to them did they see clearly that he was actually a handsome man with a gentle smile on his face and long black hair that hung loosely over his shoulders. He was wearing a navy blue robe, which was similar to Kunlun's Old Daoist Yu Jizi. However, he looked more casual.
The man was about 1.7 meters tall and had a scholarly air about him. However, no one could tell what his smile meant. They only felt that this man was exuding an unfathomable strangeness.
"You are …" Yu Jizi was the first to ask. It wasn't that he wanted to stand out, but he felt that the man's clothes and appearance were somewhat familiar.
The man glanced at Yu Jizi with a faint smile. He clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect Little Jizi to wear the Kunlun Elder Daoist robe. Why? You don't even recognize Uncle-Master?"
Yu Jizi's expression suddenly changed. As if he had thought of something, he took two steps back while trembling. He began to carefully look at the man in front of him again. He seemed to be recalling something as he revealed a frightened and flustered expression.
The man laughed. "I still remember that when you first came to the mountain, you didn't know anything. Every time you had a problem with cultivation, you would come to me and ask me. I asked you, why didn't you ask Senior Brother Sect Leader but me? You said, 'Master is too fierce, Uncle-Master doesn't scold me for being stupid.' At that time, I thought that this man's future would be extraordinary. Since he was young, he was willing to be flexible, unlike those disciples who would endure the scolding without asking other Uncle-Masters. It's a pity that you still can't see it clearly. It's been more than eighty years. Why are you still at the early stage of Xiantian? "
Plop!
Yu Jizi suddenly knelt on the ground. His body quivered. He kowtowed heavily in front of everyone and shouted, "Yu Jizi pays respect to Uncle-Master Ling Xu Zi!!!"
"Martial Uncle Ling Xuzi?!"
Abbess Yun Miao seemed to have thought of something as well. Lin Zhiguo and Gray Robe were deep in thought as well.
On the other hand, Yang Cheng and Cai Ning had no idea what was going on. Who was Ling Xuzi?
Also, this person said 'eighty years' and Yu Jizi called him 'Martial Uncle'. How is this possible!? If he was Yu Jizi's martial uncle from eighty years ago, he would be at least a hundred years old now. How could he look so young?! He was even younger than Yang Cheng, who was 24 years old.
Ling Xuzi sighed and said, "No wonder you can't break through to the Innate Realm. It turns out that you've been misled by my stubborn Senior Martial Brother. What's the point of doing all this? Kneel and worship me? I'm not a deity, I don't need you to kneel and worship me. Little Jizi, if you're filial, you should at least give me some money when you see me. I've been wandering around Zhonghai for the past few days. I've seen a lot of good restaurants, but I don't have enough money for my travel. I'm dying of hunger. "
Yu Jizi's face turned bitter. He was still in a daze just now. After hearing Ling Xuzi's words, he said gloomily, "Martial … Martial Uncle, I … Oh no! Little Jizi, Little Jizi didn't bring any money with him. "
Hearing Yu Jizi calling him 'Little Jizi' in front of a young martial uncle with a red face, Yang Cheng had the urge to laugh out loud.
"Forget it. I'll be heading back after settling tonight's matter," Ling Xuzi glanced at Lin Zhiguo and asked with a smile, "As the general of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, you should have guessed my identity, right?"
Lin Zhiguo smiled bitterly. He felt that God was playing a big joke on him. He sighed and said, "Senior, you must be from 'Hongmeng', right?"
"That's right. I'm the 'Hongmeng messenger' who has been on duty for the past five years. This year is also the last year of my duty. I didn't expect you to give me such a headache at the end of the year," Ling Xuzi shook his head and sighed.
Hongmeng? Hongmeng messenger?
What's this?
Except for Lin Zhiguo, everyone had the same question in their minds.
Lin Zhiguo closed his eyes and said, "Why is it like this? In the past, when so many warriors of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade died and our resistance was so weak, Hongmeng had always been like a legend, illusory and without a trace. But now, after I've given up and made this decision, Hong Meng actually appeared in front of me? "
Ling Xuzi chuckled and said, "Don't you understand? Hongmeng will never give up on this land. It's you, your own heart, that has been shaken."
Lin Zhiguo's face turned gloomy, and he remained silent.
At this moment, Yu Jizi couldn't help but ask, "Junior Uncle, didn't you … didn't you … why did you …"
"Hey, just say it if you want to. What are you stuttering about?" Ling Xuzi said with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, yes …" Ling Xuzi asked carefully, "When I was only twenty years old, didn't Junior Uncle, when you were traveling in Hua Xia, you were ambushed by your enemies … and … and that's it? Why did you … "
"You want to say that I'm not dead? Why am I standing in front of you again, and I look so young? "Ling Xuzi smiled faintly.
Yu Jizi nodded vigorously.
"I'm not telling you," Ling Xuzi said proudly.
Everyone was speechless, but at the same time, they were shocked. Was this young man really Yu Jizi's Junior Uncle?!
Abbess Yun Miao finally remembered who the person in front of her was. She exclaimed, "I remember now! Ling Xuzi of Kunlun! You're … the rare genius of Kunlun in a thousand years, Ling Xuzi?! "
Lingxu Zi hummed and said, "Little girl, you know me too?"
Abbess Miao swallowed her saliva and said, "When I was young, I heard from my Junior Granduncle that you were the first genius in Kunlun in the past thousand years to cultivate Kunlun's ultimate secret technique, the Boundless Universe Incantation, to Xiantian Full Cycle. However, when you were wandering the world, you were assassinated by your enemies and unfortunately died. How did you … Moreover, weren't you already in your forties? "
"Looking at your internal energy, you should be a descendant of Shu Mountain, right? Is your Junior Uncle Mo Daoran that baldy? " Ling Xuzi curled his lips and said, "He's too free. Since he can't break through the Xiantian Stage, he's in the mood to tell stories to juniors like you."
"As expected, Junior Uncle … have you broken through the Xiantian Stage and crossed the legendary threshold?!" Yu Jizi exclaimed, "No wonder, no wonder Junior Uncle looks so young."
Ling Xuzi smiled and said to Lin Zhiguo, "Come with me. You're not fit to stay here anymore."
Lin Zhiguo closed his eyes in pain and asked, "Senior, can you tell me why you waited until the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade is in such a miserable state before you showed up instead of helping us when we were in a tough battle? The legend of Hongmeng was left by the previous general before he died. It's a name that has almost been forgotten. Even I can't believe it anymore. Why are you not willing to save the country when you clearly exist? "
The smile on Ling Xuzi's face gradually disappeared. He said seriously, "Lin Zhiguo, don't you understand? It's not the country that's in danger, but your own greed. Do you really think that Hua Xia is already in danger? Do you really think that Hua Xia's five-thousand-year-long legacy is going to be ruined? "
Without waiting for Lin Zhiguo's reply, Ling Xuzi continued, "If a truly powerful nation wants to survive, it can't rely on the protection of a few people to develop. If the youngsters of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade were to meet with some setbacks and some people died, the few of us old fellows would have to step in to help you. Then, everyone would have the same thought in their hearts — It doesn't matter if we lose and retreat, because there will be absolute power to help us clean up the mess …
This kind of thinking will only make all the young people lose the will to improve.
The real experts will experience the test of life and death. After wandering on the edge of life and death, they will be enlightened and have the hope of breaking through their limits.
Among the countless ancient civilizations in the world, we, Hua Xia, are the only nation that has never been cut off. We don't rely on the existence of 'Hongmeng'. Instead, we rely on the indomitable bloodline of every true citizen of Hua Xia, which they are proud of.
Only by continuously going through the tempering of blood and fire can the fire of the nation be passed on.
As the general of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, you not only don't believe in yourself, but you also don't believe in your subordinates. You only feel that God is unfair to the Lin family. It's as if all the citizens of Hua Xia owe you …
How stupid! What do you think the soldiers of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade died for?! What do you think the soldiers of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade fought for even though they knew that they would die in battle?!
Even though they knew that they would die, they still stood in front of you without hesitation. You, who only needs to give orders, couldn't hold it in anymore … You, are you worthy of the previous general's trust in you? Are you worthy of your subordinates and the passion of these young people? "
After Ling Xu Zi finished speaking, Cai Ning, Abbess Yun Miao, and the others all had sorrowful expressions on their faces. At the same time, they were excited and emotional.
On the other hand, Lin Zhiguo's face was pale. He stood there with a sorrowful expression, as if his soul had left his body. He couldn't say another word.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Now, I will fulfill one of the two responsibilities of Hongmeng and bring you away." After Ling Xu Zi finished speaking, he walked towards Lin Zhiguo.
However, Gray Robe, who had been silent all this while, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zhiguo. His wrinkled face looked sorrowful. "If you want to bring Master away, kill Gray Robe first."
