"Someone gave it to you?" Linghu Qiu didn't believe him. In fact, he wanted to ask if Dongguo Haoran said anything or gave him anything before he died. However, he knew that Niu Youdao wasn't stupid, so he didn't dare to ask this question directly for fear of arousing Niu Youdao's suspicion. So, he could only try asking, "Who gave it to you?"
Niu Youdao shook his head slowly while holding his teacup. "I don't know."
Linghu Qiu rolled his eyes. "Nonsense. How can you not know who gave you the cultivation method?"
Niu Youdao shrugged. "I knew you wouldn't believe me even if I told you. Even I'm confused about this matter. A person suddenly appeared out of nowhere and didn't tell me who he was. He just passed me a cultivation method and left. I asked him who he was, but he didn't tell me. Anyway, he just left. I still want to know who he is."
Linghu Qiu asked suspiciously, "Where did you meet him?"
Niu Youdao replied, "Shangqing Sect. Not long after I was imprisoned in the Shangqing Sect."
"Shangqing Sect?" Linghu Qiu was surprised. "You don't know anyone from the Shangqing Sect?"
Niu Youdao looked thoughtful. "I don't think he's from the Shangqing Sect. His characteristics are a bit obvious. If he's from the Shangqing Sect, I would definitely know him if I've seen him before. At that time, I was under house arrest in the Peach Blossom Spring, the place where Dongguo Haoran used to cultivate. That person appeared at night. He suddenly appeared in the Peach Blossom Spring and asked me to keep quiet. "
Linghu Qiu's spirit was lifted. He already believed most of what Xu Que said. He hurriedly said, "Since his characteristics are obvious, why don't you tell me about it? I've seen many people in the cultivation world. Tell me about it. Maybe I've seen him before. I might be able to answer your questions. "
Niu Youdao looked him up and down with a look that said, "Do I need to tell you?"
Linghu Qiuli said, "Don't you want to know who they are?"
Hearing this, Niu Youdao held the teacup with both hands and seemed to be lost in his memories. Slowly, he said, "It was night time, and the sky was dark. I didn't see his face clearly. I only saw his silhouette with the help of the moonlight. It was a man, a sloppy man, a man with messy hair and beard. He suddenly appeared in front of me, startling me. He immediately told me to keep quiet. If you want to ask what he looked like, this is what I saw at the time. "
Linghu Qiu frowned and muttered, "A sloppy man with messy beard and hair …"
From time to time, Niu Youdao squinted at his reaction and slowly sipped the tea. As for the person he was talking about, of course, he didn't exist. However, it was impossible for him to easily tell an outsider what Dongguo Haoran entrusted to him before his death. The thing that Dongguo Haoran entrusted with his life could only be handed over to the Sect Master Tang Mu. It must be something important. He hadn't even told the Shanghai Sect about it, so how could he tell the other party?
As for the fictional person, he heard that Zhao Xiongge probably looked like this. Presumably, Zhao Xiongge was a person who could take responsibility.
After pondering for a while, Linghu Qiu looked up and asked, "The clues you've given are too few. Do you have the outline of his face?"
Niu Youdao shook his head. "It was dark. I couldn't see clearly."
Linghu Qiu, "What did he say to you at that time?"
Niu Youdao, "He didn't say anything. He only asked me if I was Dongguo Haoran's disciple. He also said that he didn't have any evil intentions and asked me not to be afraid. Then, he went to Dongguo Haoran's memorial tablet and offered me a few sticks of incense. After that, he taught me a cultivation method and urged me to practice hard. He said that I was the only disciple left of Dongguo Haoran and I shouldn't let Dongguo Haoran's soul down in heaven … Oh, before he left, he took some of Dongguo Haoran's belongings with him. Just like that, how can I figure out who he is? "
"He took Dongguo Haoran's belongings with him?" Linghu Qiu's eyes revealed a surprised and uncertain look. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he asked, "What's the name of the cultivation method he taught you? Tell me its name and its origin. I might be able to find out who he is. "
Niu Youdao, "There's no name. He didn't mention a name when he taught me the cultivation method. If there was a name, I would have looked it up myself. Why would I need you to guess it?"
Linghu Qiu, "It hasn't been many years since you joined the Shangqing Sect. It seems that your cultivation method is not simple at all!"
Niu Youdao chuckled. "You really think too highly of me. Not only did he teach me the cultivation method, but he also directly transferred some of his cultivation to me. Otherwise, how could I have the cultivation I have today? I'm afraid I wouldn't have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Directly transferred his cultivation to you?" Linghu Qiu was surprised. He suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "The Devil Doctrine's Enlightenment Technique!"
Niu Youdao was just making up a story. He didn't expect that Linghu Qiu would have such a big reaction. He couldn't help but ask, "What is the Devil Doctrine's Enlightenment Technique?"
"It's a method that directly transferred your cultivation to you. A method that can be used by others to control and resolve the drawbacks of heterogeneous True Qi. Apart from the Devil Doctrine's Enlightenment Technique, I can't think of anything else." Linghu Qiu suddenly clapped his hands excitedly. "Brother, I think I know who the person who taught you the cultivation method is. It's Zhao Xiongge! "
Niu Youdao blinked his eyes. He had described Zhao Xiongge in a targeted manner, so he didn't think it was Zhao Xiongge. However, he didn't expect that his nonsense would make him think of Zhao Xiongge.
He didn't say Zhao Xiongge's appearance clearly. First, he didn't know Zhao Xiongge's appearance. Second, he didn't want to say it clearly. He wanted to give himself some leeway so that when he confronted Zhao Xiongge, he could deny it. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed.
"You mean the abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect, Zhao Xiongge of the Demon Ridge?" Niu Youdao tried to ask.
Linghu Qiu patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, think about it. The person who can break into the Shanghai Sect and avoid the eyes and ears of the Shanghai Sect to get to the place where Dongguo Haoran cultivated, is either someone familiar with the Shangqing Sect, or someone who the Shanghai Sect intentionally let go. Why would the Shanghai Sect let him go? It must be someone familiar! Secondly, because you are Dongguo Haoran's disciple, the person who taught you the cultivation method and can transfer cultivation to you is naturally someone who has a close relationship with Dongguo Haoran. It must be known that Zhao Xiongge and Dongguo Haoran are martial brothers. And it is said that Zhao Xiongge's current appearance is that he doesn't care about his appearance. The most important thing is that Zhao Xiongge may be the person who knows the Devil Doctrine's Enlightenment Technique. Combining all these factors, this person is most likely Zhao Xiongge of the Demon Ridge! "
Niu Youdao was surprised and said, "That's impossible! Zhao Xiongge has already been expelled from the Shangqing Sect. "
Linghu Qiu said, "Didn't you hear that the Immortal Retaining Sect went to destroy the Shangqing Sect but was scared off by Zhao Xiongge? You also saw Wu Shaohuan's missing arm. From this, it can be seen that Zhao Xiongge still has feelings for the Shangqing Sect. It is entirely possible that he went to pay his respects to his martial brother. "
Niu Youdao said, "If Zhao Xiongge really wanted to take care of the Shangqing Sect, how could the Shanghai Sect be forced to abandon the Ancestral Court and leave? And I asked the Immortal Retaining Sect. When they went to destroy the Shangqing Sect, the people from the Immortal Retaining Sect actually didn't see Zhao Xiongge. Zhao Xiongge actually didn't show up. He only saw a Golden Howler and was scared. "
Linghu Qiu waved his hand. "That's not true. Who is Zhao Xiongge? He is one of the top experts in the world. A mere Immortal Retaining Sect doesn't need Zhao Xiongge to show up personally. Zhao Xiongge's mount is enough to deter them! And Zhao Xiongge was expelled from the Shangqing Sect after all. It's understandable that he didn't show up. "
"Brother, let's not talk about anything else. The key is the Devil Sect's Enlightenment Technique that was passed on to you! It is said that Zhao Xiongge and the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin fell in love, and both the righteous and evil sects couldn't tolerate them. After the Holy Virgin died, Zhao Xiongge's cultivation suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. He single-handedly swept away more than ten sects to avenge the Holy Virgin. He killed a series of experts like a madman and became famous! At that time, some people suspected that the reason for Zhao Xiongge's sudden increase in cultivation was that the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect had used the Devil Sect's Empowerment Technique to transfer her cultivation to him. Now it seems that it is most likely true! "
"…" Niu Youdao was speechless. He didn't know much about Zhao Xiongge's matters.
He had read the "Shang Qing Shilu Forgotten Records". There were many stories about the seniors of the Shangqing Sect, but it seemed that all information about Zhao Xiongge had been erased. There wasn't even a mention of him. Even the disciples of the Sect Master two generations ago didn't have Zhao Xiongge's name.
And Zhao Xiongge's rise was like a comet in the night sky, dazzling everyone. After a series of battles, he quickly disappeared. It was said that he lived in seclusion in the Demon Ridge all year round. There was almost no trace of him in the cultivation world, only a legend was left.
As for the cause of the legend, it seemed that only the people involved knew about it. The others who knew about it were afraid of Zhao Xiongge's strength and didn't want to cause trouble, so they were unwilling to mention it again.
"Oh yes, brother, Zhao Xiongge was expelled from the Shangqing Sect many years ago. Why did he take away Dongguo Haoran's relics?"
"How would I know? Second brother, you can't talk nonsense. I didn't say that person was Zhao Xiongge. You guessed it yourself. "
"Okay, okay, I guessed it. Even if it wasn't him, why did he take away the relics? Could it be that there is something important in the relics?"
"There is nothing important."
"How do you know that there is nothing important?"
"I live alone in the Peach Blossom Land. I have looked through everything in Dongguo Haoran's relics. There is nothing special."
"What relics are there? Why don't you tell me? I can help you look through them." There was a slight desire in Linghu Qiu's eyes. He almost asked directly if there was a "bronze mirror". However, if he pointed it out directly, it would definitely arouse Niu Youdao's suspicion, so he could only beat around the bush.
He also suspected that Niu Youdao did not know about the existence of the bronze mirror. If he did, Dongguo Haoran would definitely not pass it to Niu Youdao before he died. He must have asked Niu Youdao to give it to the Shangqing Sect. If the bronze mirror was really in the hands of the Shangqing Sect, it was impossible for the Shanghai Sect to let Niu Youdao leave the Shanghai Sect alive.
The only possibility was that the Shanghai Sect, including Niu Youdao, did not know that there was something special in Dongguo Haoran's relics.
Of course, there was another possibility. That was, Dongguo Haoran did not have that thing at all, and he was overthinking it. Therefore, he wanted to verify it. If Zhao Xiongge really took away a bronze mirror from Dongguo Haoran's relics, it would be very suspicious.
There were many bronze mirrors in the world. As far as he knew, outsiders could not see anything special about the bronze mirror. Why would Zhao Xiongge take away a seemingly ordinary bronze mirror? If there was, there must be something wrong!
