Xiao Bing said softly, "Mom, no matter what happened to you in the past, you are my mom now. If you have any trouble, I will help you solve it. If you have any wishes, I will help you fulfill them."
"Yes, mom. Thank you." Xia Hongyin looked relieved.
At this time, Six Fingers walked into the hall. Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Senior Six Fingers, why do you have the time to come here?"
Six Fingers said, "I'm here to tell you about the progress of the North Hall."
"Oh, okay. Let's talk in the room."
Now that the Dragon Gate was divided into four halls, there were naturally four Hall Masters. Six Fingers was the Hall Master of the North Hall. The North Hall of Six Fingers and the West Hall of Black Dragon were in charge of killing and conquering. Both of them were calm and decisive. The position of Hall Master was just right for them.
Seeing Six Fingers, Xia Hongyin smiled and said, "Then you can go in and talk about business. Maggie, come and play chess with me."
"Okay, okay."
When Six Fingers was about to go back to the room with Xiao Bing, Xia Hongyin found him familiar. She could not help but call out, "Mr. Six Fingers!"
"Huh?" Six Fingers tilted his head and looked at Xia Hongyin. There was a faint light in his eyes.
Xia Hongyin asked in confusion, "Did we … know each other before?"
Six Fingers shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't think so. I would have an impression of a beautiful woman like you if I had seen you before."
"Oh, is that so?" Xia Hongyin thought for a moment. The old man in front of her really looked like that person, especially since they both had six fingers left. However, this person refused to admit it. Moreover, after so many years, even Xia Hongyin couldn't remember that person's appearance very clearly, so she couldn't be sure. She forced a smile and said, "Maybe I got the wrong person."
Six Fingers said, "Then I will go in with Master to discuss business."
"Okay. Go ahead."
After Six Fingers and Xiao Bing went in, Xia Hongyin was still thinking. She kept thinking about what happened many years ago …
After seeing this, Maggie looked at Xia Hongyin thoughtfully and thought of the scene just now. She asked in a low voice, "Aunt Xia, is Uncle Six-fingered an old friend of yours?"
"It's a little similar, especially some of its characteristics. But after so many years, I can't remember it clearly, so I can't be sure."
"Oh." Maggie said, "Then you weren't that close to that old friend, were you?"
"How should I put it … He was my husband's loyal companion. Later, my husband passed away, and so did his companions."
"Oh, I see." Maggie said with a smile, "There are so many coincidences in this world. Auntie, you are so beautiful. If he really knows you, he will definitely remember you. I'm afraid he got the wrong person."
"Hmm, I think it's a mistake." Xia Hongyin smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just recalled some past events because of this."
"Are you thinking about your past with your husband?"
"Yes." Xia Hongyin sighed and said, "Some good and sad memories."
Xiao Bing and Six-fingered walked into the study. After they sat down, Six-fingered said, "Beitang now has 40 members. They are all elites selected from the underground world. Of course, some of them are former members of the Dingwu office. After many rounds of screening, they stood out from more than 100 people."
Xiao Bing said, "Not bad, not bad."
"But I don't think the number of people is enough, so we will continue to recruit more people. But I don't think it will be on such a large scale. Some of those who were eliminated before have good eyesight. I asked them to stay and be responsible for observing and selecting suitable candidates. I will give them some money you gave me as their expenses. After they have made their selection, I will submit the name list to you. Master, you can see if this person is suitable to join through the intelligence department of the Ministry of National Security."
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "This is a bit like the talent scouts of entertainment companies choose actors. I think this is a good model. Six-fingered senior, you have provided us with a new way!"
Six-fingered said, "I just thought of it by accident. It's not a big deal."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I just saw my adoptive mother and thought you looked like someone."
"Oh, really." Six-fingered said calmly, "There are always people who look alike. It's not strange."
"Well, that's true. But it also shows that we are fated to meet." Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Let's rest in the House of Xiao today."
"No, I'd better go back." Six-fingered stood up and said, "Master, I will go and train these people strictly so that they can be put to use as soon as possible. After all, the enemies we are facing are too strong."
"You're right. They are too strong."
Xiao Bing's biggest opponent now was naturally Kunlun, but he could not underestimate Buddhism. Although Buddhism seemed to have disappeared in the past two years, and although they had appeared before, they basically did not do anything big. They had even been gradually ignored by the whole Dark World. But Xiao Bing knew that Buddhism was the one that could not be ignored. Mr. Buddha was even more mysterious than Kunlun, and Xiao Bing could not see through Mr. Buddha until now.
In fact, there were not many direct conflicts between Xiao Bing and Mr. Buddha. But Su Peiya's death always bothered him.
Six-fingered said, "I'll go back first." Then, he stood up and walked out of the study. When he walked out of the study, his pupils contracted slightly and his hands even trembled slightly. After stabilizing himself for a moment, he returned to normal and left with a calm expression.
In the following days, the Dragon Gate began to carry out its work in an orderly manner. The four halls began to develop. Xiao Bing had nothing to do, so he would teach Dumbass and the others martial arts. Sometimes Gao Fei came back to live, and sometimes he lived in the base of the Dragon Gate to teach others martial arts. Gao Fei was now the chief instructor of the Dragon Gate. Whether in cultivation or understanding of martial arts, he was not inferior to Xiao Bing. So it was very suitable for him to be the chief instructor. The whole Dragon Gate also made rapid progress.
Dumbass was about to get married, so Xiao Bing sent out the invitations in advance.
Dumbass's family was gone, and Chi Ban Zhiko had left her hometown. But getting married was a lifetime event, so it would not be too lonely. So he still invited some people to join in the fun.
The head of the National Security Ministry promised to come in person. The eight ancient martial arts sects were now eager to build a good relationship with Xiao Bing, especially when they were forced to submit to Kunlun when the Dragon Gate disappeared. Although they had been forgiven, they still felt uneasy. This time, they naturally had to come and curry favor with Xiao Bing. Especially, they had already found out that Dumbass had been following Xiao Bing since he was a child and was deeply appreciated by Xiao Bing. So this time, they had to seize this opportunity.
But according to Dumbass's current strength, he was definitely one of the few big shots in the half-step Heavenly Master Realm.
A few days before Dumbass's wedding, Chi Ban Zhiko asked for a leave from the school and stayed at home. Chi Ban Nakayama's face was beaming with joy every day. Ever since Xiao Bing met Chi Ban Nakayama, he had been immersed in crafting weapons. He had never been so happy. Now, his life was coming to an end, and he finally began to enjoy life.
Apart from this, Chi Ban Nakayama suddenly had an idea about the Divine Artifact. On the last three days of Dumbass and Chi Ban Zhiko's wedding, Chi Ban Nakayama called Xiao Bing into his room. He asked Xiao Bing to sit down excitedly, then said, "I think I have found a way to restore the spiritual sea of consciousness of this Divine Artifact."
Xiao Bing asked excitedly, "What way?"
Chi Ban Nakayama took out the Soul-chasing Stick and said, "According to my observation these days, the Divine Artifact is indeed different from the Spirit Qi. I used to think whether you can practice with the Divine Artifact when you cultivate every day, but later I found that it is not possible. Although the Divine Artifact already has a spirit body, the Divine Artifact itself has no meridians. Its body is just a hard stick. No matter what kind of living creature wants to cultivate, it can only absorb the Spirit Qi through its meridians."
Xiao Bing said, "Yes, it is indeed like this."
"Well, this is a problem for the Divine Artifact. If the appearance of the Divine Artifact is damaged, I can reforge and repair it. But if the inside of the Divine Artifact is damaged, I think there is only one way."
"What is it?"
Chi Ban Zhongshan said, "The world is vast, and there are many things that we haven't even touched before. Some places are extremely rich in natural powers. Normally, we absorb natural powers and natural powers, but above them, there are also natural powers. The so-called natural powers are the essences of natural powers and natural powers. Some of these natural powers are pure, some are evil, and the evil ones can become devil powers, spirit powers and so on. Cultivating in places with rich natural powers, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Not only can one improve one's natural powers, one's spiritual power will also be improved. But I'm not sure if it will work on the Divine Artifact. "
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "What if it doesn't work?"
"Then it can only be the Spirit Pool."
Xiao Bing paused for a second and said, "Spirit Pool? I've heard about it … But is it really there? "
"It should exist." Chi Ban Nakayama said, "But the world is vast, and none of us know where to find a Spirit Pool. But I did hear about it when I was in Japan … "
