"Are you Xiaohu?" Wang Baole spoke slowly, staring at the old man in front of him.
"Yes and no." The ancestor of Yuexing Sect replied hoarsely.
"I have been with the master for many years. I was once a demon and a sword spirit. I have experienced countless epochs and walked through the stars. Finally, I was willing to die. I gathered a trace of immortality and entered this world with my little master to protect him. "
"Speaking of which, many years ago on your star, I met you once and gave some enlightenment to one of your magic puppets to make it strange. I think it has also helped you to a certain extent over the years. .”
"Years ago?" Wang Baole pondered with his eyes open. After a while, he raised his right hand and waved, and suddenly a puppet flew out of his storage bag. This puppet... Wang Baole had not used it for many years, and it was the first one he made. The puppet, and then the puppet itself underwent many changes.
"Exactly this puppet." Ancestor Yuexing smiled slightly.
Looking at the puppet, and then at the Yuexing Ancestor, Wang Baole couldn't help but look strange, because he thought of his puppet, it seemed... In the so-called strange aspect, there were some indescribable evil spirits, and in the past, he had always been entangled by it. The opponents are all miserable.
This evil destiny is somewhat incongruous with the image of Patriarch Yuexing, who despite his unattractive appearance, is still vaguely immortal.
For no reason, Wang Baole took a few steps back and looked at Ancestor Yuexing with a more solemn look.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be afraid. Before I died, I was still capable of fighting you. Now that I have been reincarnated with my spiritual mind, even though I have reached the third step, I am no match for you." Patriarch Yuexing said calmly, and then said With a wave of his hand, two futons transformed and landed at Wang Baole's feet.
"Please take a seat."
Wang Baole looked at the futon very carefully, and after scanning it with his spiritual mind to make sure it was okay, he sat down cross-legged. Various thoughts came to his mind, and he completely understood the cause and effect of this agreement.
As agreed sixty-eight years ago, we met in front of the cliff today. When we came, Wang Baole thought that he had guessed the identity of the other party, but now he understood that his guess was both right and wrong.
He guessed that the ancestor of Yuexing Sect should be Xiaohu back then.
But he didn't expect that besides Xiaohu's identity, there was another identity, so... This sixty-eight-year agreement was not so much an appointment with himself, but rather an invitation to Wang Yiyi...
Because... Wang Baole can guess who the master is. It must be Wang Yiyi's father. The name of the little master, and Wang Yiyi emerging from the mask in Wang Baole's arms at this moment, make Wang Baole understand more about his current judgment. ,correct.
"Uncle Xu..." Wang Yiyi spoke softly and bowed to the ancestor of the Yuexing Sect in front of him.
The ancestor of the Yuexing Sect had a smile on his face. He stared at Wang Yiyi for a long time. His smile became more kind and he spoke softly.
"Yiyi, the time has come."
Wang Yiyi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but fell silent in the end.
Seeing this, Wang Baole's heart fluctuated. At the same time, Patriarch Yuexing looked away from Wang Yiyi. When he looked at Wang Baole, he stood up and bowed to Wang Baole with clasped fists.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for protecting my little master."
"No need to thank you for this." Wang Baole replied softly. When he looked at Wang Yiyi, his eyes were very soft. It could be said that... the other person was the person who had truly been with him throughout his life.
From the first encounter until now.
"Senior, I have made an appointment to meet here today. What's the matter?" Wang Baole took a deep breath, looked at Ancestor Yuexing, and asked in a deep voice. He really wanted to know what would happen in the end of this sixty-eight-year agreement.
Ancestor Yuexing looked solemn, still keeping his fists clasped, and did not stand up.
"Xu made an appointment with fellow Taoists to meet here for three things."
"One, welcome the return of my little master, make the little master's soul intact, and prepare for the final resurrection...to complete the last step." Yuexing Ancestor said, raising his right hand and waving, and suddenly the void was distorted, and fragments appeared out of thin air. , the light is overflowing, the sky is also shining, and there is endless light in all directions, making this place a sea of light.
The source of this sea of light is those fragments. As they shine at this moment, these fragments quickly gather in the mid-air between Yuexing Ancestor and Wang Baole, and finally form half of a mask!
Seeing the appearance of the mask, Wang Baole breathed a little faster and took out his mask from his arms. Almost at the moment the mask appeared, there was also a strong and bright light emanating from it. At the same time, it was extremely dazzling. Zhang's incomplete mask seemed to be pulled by invisible force, slowly approaching until they merged together...
Mask complete! !
There is no longer any defect, and there is an astonishing aura emanating from it. This aura is sacred and seems to be inviolable. If it can suppress all directions, it will shake the starry sky where the Moon Star Sect is located, and even affect the side sects. Sanctuary.
"This mask was made by the owner himself. It seemed to be complete when it was first made. In fact, it had cracks and fragments from the beginning. There are seventeen pieces in total, and each piece contains a trace of the little master's remnant soul. Its remnant soul can be nourished within, and once... one day this mask is truly complete without any cracks, then all the remnant souls of the little master can be merged to complete... resurrection!"
"But to make it complete, it requires a specific method. The main medicine required for this method is... immortal bone!"
"Only a complete immortal can form immortal bones in the body."
"So, the second thing I asked you to do here is to hope that you can... obtain the entire inheritance of immortals as soon as possible and become a true immortal."
"Before that, the little master will follow me, and my mind will maintain the integrity of his mask, waiting for your success."
When Wang Baole heard this, he seemed to be normal, but deep in his eyes, there was a glimmer of complexity. He was not stupid, on the contrary... Having experienced too many things, he had developed a keen mind and could detect the other party. The unfinished words hidden in the words.
He didn't know what the other party was hiding, and he didn't want to ask anymore. At this moment, his eyelids were slightly lowered, covering up the complexity in his eyes. And even the ancestor of Yuexing, who was also a sharp-minded person, didn't notice at all his actions. , still continuing to speak
"And the third thing is reward..." Just as the ancestor of Yuexing Sect said this, Wang Yiyi on the side suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Xu, don't hide it from him."
Patriarch Yuexing paused and looked at Wang Yiyi.
"I don't want to hide it from him, Uncle Xu... tell him the truth." Wang Yiyi spoke softly. If you listen carefully, you can hear the trembling in her voice. When the words came out, she seemed to dare not look at Wang Baole, whispering With his head bowed, he silently walked toward the mask floating in the air between Wang Baole and Yuexing Ancestor. After getting closer, he gradually blended into it.
His back view reveals timidity, loneliness, and deep escape. As he blends in, he slowly disappears...
It seemed that she didn't want to face what happened next.
Wang Baole raised his head, slowly raised his half-fallen eyelids, looked at the mask, and sighed softly.
"Is it true that just the immortal bones can't completely heal the cracks in the mask?"
There was no sound in the mask, and Patriarch Yuexing also fell silent at this moment. He looked at the mask and then at Wang Baole. There were obviously more wrinkles on his face.
"I still need your fate." After a while, Patriarch Yuexing spoke in a low voice.
