"But Chen Zhen's whereabouts are unknown..." Chi Xiaoduo said, "He hasn't told us where he is yet."
Xiang Cheng sat by the bed, flipped through his phone, sent a text message to Chen Lang, and replied, "Chen Zhen may also be his eyeliner, but he is just temporarily avoiding the limelight when he takes action, so that he can go back after cleaning up." It will be more tenable to take over as the driving committee."
"Impossible." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Chen Zhen wouldn't do that."
"How much do you know about him?" Xiang Cheng said: "He is too deep in the city. On the surface, he is from Zhou Maoguo. In fact, what do you think? Why did he help us when we entered the Drive Committee? It was approved by Mr. Zheng."
"I don't think so." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Many things are not necessarily ordered by his superiors, especially his character... He is an idealist, and he rarely yields to his superiors. It is all things he thinks are right. will do it."
"Let's think about it in another way." Xiang Cheng said: "Throw away your impression of Chen Zhen and treat him as a stranger. From the very beginning of the ghost case, why did he actively intervene so much? Does it have anything to do with Zheng Qin?" No?"
Chi Xiaoduo was shaken by what Xiang Cheng said, is Chen Zhen really like this
He thought for a while and replied, "I still don't think it's possible."
"Whatever." Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo said, "You're here again."
"I really don't think we need to quarrel over such small differences." Xiang Cheng said: "What do other people do, what does it matter to me? Why should it be because of other people that it affects your love for me and my love for you?" ?”
"You are so nasty." Chi Xiaoduo said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You are getting more and more fluent in your nasty words."
Xiang Cheng said casually: "I promised Chen Lang to save his brother because I was afraid that Chen Zhen would be in danger. Zheng Que's words today confirmed my guess that Chen Zhen should just be hiding somewhere."
Chi Xiaoduo sat down beside him and said, "It's because of this that I feel that Zheng Que still has something to hide from us."
Xiang Cheng put his arms around Chi Xiaoduo's shoulders and hugged him into his arms, and the two quietly looked at the moon outside the window.
Chi Xiaoduo said: "No matter where Chen Zhen goes, he will never hide it from Xiao Lang."
Xiang Cheng nodded and replied, "It makes sense."
"Also, don't you care about the expulsion of the committee?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Xiang Cheng didn't answer either. Chi Xiaoduo knew Xiang Cheng's emotions, and felt that Lin Yurou and Zhou Maoguo had indeed launched the Battle of Bashan and killed his parents. Even now, much later.
But to intercede for them, Xiang Cheng was unwilling to open his mouth.
"I don't know the actual situation of the expulsion committee." Xiang Cheng said: "But since I was a child, I didn't want to deal with the people who were driving the committee."
"If Teacher Zheng is in charge." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Will it be better?"
Chi Xiaoduo always felt that although Zhou Maoguo and Lin Yurou's behavior was criticized by others, but according to the high-level members of the drive committee he came into contact with, there was always one thing that he could forgive, and that was—the lack of selfishness. If he was really selfish, then Xiang Cheng probably wouldn't have lived till now.
And Da Ke, Zhou Wanyuan, Chen Zhen and others are still my good friends.
You must find an opportunity to find out the whereabouts of Chen Zhen. Chi Xiaoduo has always had doubts about one thing, that is, when he was in Bashan, he saw Chen Zhen for a brief moment. That is not a dream, nor should it be an illusion. What is the reason
The night passed, and when he woke up in the morning, Xiang Cheng was wearing only a pair of underwear, pulling a mahogany mosquito net, doing pull-ups naked, sweating all over his body, his bronze body, and his muscle lines were as perfect as a sculpture.
Chi Xiaoduo got up sleepily, and took a picture of him with his mobile phone. Xiang Cheng's thing was so hard that his thin underwear couldn't cover it at all, and it was so stretched that it was about to burst.
"It's better not to... um."
"Wait for you to wake up for a long time." Xiang Cheng hugged Chi Xiaoduo, and pulled off his clothes and pants. Chi Xiaoduo stepped on Xiang Cheng's underwear, and it fell to his ankles, and he hugged him and curled up under the quilt. The wind outside the window stopped, and the late spring sunshine came into the room. Xiang Cheng worked on the bed for a while, feeling bored, so he directly hugged him on the carpet, letting the sun bask in it, and Chi Xiaoduo was warmed by the light , but also to accept Xiang Cheng's repeated shocks, I feel so comfortable that I am going crazy.
An hour later, there was the sound of a car outside, Chi Xiaoduo checked the time, it was already eleven o'clock.
Xiang Cheng held Chi Xiaoduo in his arms to take a bath with satisfaction. The bathroom in Zheng Que's house was even more luxurious than a five-star hotel. When he came out of the bath and asked, it turned out that Teacher Zheng had left.
Tao Ran said: "Master told me that the two of you can walk around the mansion by yourself. Please give orders when you leave the mansion, because it is far away from Beijing, and it is almost to Inner Mongolia, so it is not convenient to use a car. We will send people to follow, so we can always listen to orders if we have something to do." .”
"You're welcome." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Where did Teacher Zheng go?"
Tao Ran was taken aback, he didn't expect Chi Xiaoduo to ask so straightforwardly.
Say you don't know, Tao Ran is a big disciple, so it's impossible not to know.
"Master is going to dismiss the committee." Tao Ran replied.
"Thank you, brother." Chi Xiaoduo said politely.
If he came under Zheng Que's sect, then Tao Ran would be the elder brother, and his seniority was obviously much higher than Chi Xiao's. It was only because the two were important guests that they dispatched to Tao Ran to treat them. Chi Xiaoduo saw that the upper and lower members of Jiuhuamen were very respectful to Tao Ran, so she didn't dare to slack off.
After breakfast, Chi Xiaoduo proposed to take a walk on Zheng's mansion, Xiang Cheng naturally agreed, the two of them went out for a walk, opened and closed the door with them, and were served by waiters. When they went out to the vast lawn, the lawn was very clean. This is a European-style manor. Chi Xiaoduo looked at the buildings and furnishings, and it probably belonged to the period of the Republic of China. Surrounded by a long iron fence outside, there are many children flying kites on the lawn of nearly 100,000 square meters.
A servant from the mansion came over pushing a lawnmower, and Chi Xiaoduo asked, "Is the child a family member?"
"Nearby." The servant replied, "If you think it's noisy, I'll get someone to come and drive it out."
Chi Xiaoduo hurriedly said no, looking at the side of Zheng Quin's garden, the end of the fence is open.
"I don't think he's too scary." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Old Zheng?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"Yeah." Chi Xiaoduo nodded and said, "A person who can let children play in his garden may not be that bad."
"Are you going to be a teacher?" Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo sat down on the lawn, and replied: "Bai, if you can help you separate the demon seeds by being a teacher, what's the point of asking him to be your master."
Xiang Cheng didn't speak, Chi Xiaoduo said: "As long as we don't separate, we can talk about anything."
"What if he wants to keep the demon seed for himself?" Xiang Cheng asked again.
"I don't think he will." Chi Xiaoduo said, "He has reached his current status, what do he need a demon seed for? And becoming a demon is not a good thing."
Xiang Cheng nodded, and Chi Xiaoduo said, "I'm still thinking... about Chen Zhen."
Chi Xiaoduo twirled the ring and felt the ring was slightly warm.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"What's wrong?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"Ring." Chi Xiaoduo replied.
Chi Xiaoduo got up immediately, and through Chen Lang's magic weapon, he felt that Chen Zhen was nearby.
"Chen Zhen is back?" Xiang Cheng asked.
Maybe Zheng Que was arranging for them to meet, but Chi Xiaoduo went to the fence, but there was no car outside.
"How far is it?" Xiang Cheng said.
"This is not GPS." Chi Xiaoduo said, "And there is no special connection between me and Chen Zhen. Only Xiao Lang can feel it more clearly when he is here."
"Just look for it." Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo walked on the lawn according to the reaction on the ring. He walked towards the manor building, but the ring returned to normal. Only when he walked towards the lawn could he feel a little echo.
"No." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Pretend to take a walk, someone is watching us from a distance." Xiang Cheng said: "Don't touch your ring all the time."
As he said that, Xiang Cheng touched Chi Xiaoduo's hand, took his hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it. Looking at him emotionally, she held Chi Xiaoduo's left hand with both hands and knelt down on one knee.
"What are you doing?" Chi Xiaoduo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Marriage proposal." Xiang Cheng knelt down on one knee, raised his head, and said solemnly, he conjured a flower and handed it to Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo said, "I have already worshiped in the holy place."
"Can't we make up the proposal ceremony?" Xiang Cheng stood up, holding Chi Xiaoduo's hand, and the two of them swayed back and forth on the lawn. Chi Xiaoduo said, "to your right."
Xiang Cheng turned around and wandered carelessly. Chi Xiaoduo glanced inadvertently and saw a disciple of Zheng Que on the balcony on the second floor, looking in their direction.
"They're watching us." Chi Xiaoduo replied.
"Never mind." Xiang Cheng smiled, turned his head and said, "Do you feel his whereabouts?"
Chi Xiaoduo smiled and replied, "No."
This is really stupid, Chi Xiaoduo thought it was the first time to act like this with Xiang Cheng, it seemed quite fun, Xiang Cheng asked again: "Where are you going?"
Chi Xiaoduo said, "It seems to be over."
Xiang Cheng picked up Chi Xiaoduo by the waist, turned around, and ran towards the place Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Enough is enough!" Chi Xiaoduo protested, "You're still addicted!"
"Wait!" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Chi Xiaoduo: "Wait, wait..."
Chi Xiaoduo: "Wait!"
Xiang Cheng was serious: "Light, wait for the light, wait for the light..."
"Don't be cute!" Chi Xiaoduo shouted: "When a man hugs another man! Don't run around on the grass, it's too ridiculous!"
Xiang Cheng put Chi Xiaoduo down, and Chi Xiaoduo was spinning for a while.
Xiang Cheng hugged Chi Xiaoduo into his arms, Chi Xiaoduo leaned on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "This is right here."
Xiang Cheng: "..."
The two separated and were silent for a moment, Chi Xiaoduo resisted the urge to look left and right.
"But there's nothing here!" Chi Xiaoduo said in disbelief.
They stood on the open lawn, there were no buildings around, and Chi Xiaoduo's ring was glowing intermittently.
"Underground." Xiang Cheng said in a deep voice.
That night, Chi Xiaoduo had dinner with Xiang Cheng, but Zheng Qin hadn't come back yet.
"Is there any secret door leading to the underground here?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"It is possible or impossible for us to find out." Xiang Cheng said: "The defense is absolutely tight."
Chi Xiaoduo ran into trouble, what should I do? Go back and notify the Drive Committee? But even the driving committee was controlled by Zheng Quin. Zhou Maoguo was placed under house arrest, Lin Yurou was fired, and Cao Bin was in charge of the organization department. Chi Xiaoduo felt that Cao Bin would not defect to Zheng Quin. Xuan He Zhi is even less safe - he belongs to Zheng Que.
But Zheng Que never expressed any hostility towards them, and he sent Xuan He Zhilai to assist them.
"What should I do?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Do you believe him?" Xiang Cheng asked: "Believe what he says, and do as he says."
"I don't really believe it." Chi Xiaoduo said, "It's too suspicious."
Xiang Cheng said: "We must find a time when he is not around."
"Maybe tonight." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"It's too easy to startle the snake." Xiang Cheng said: "I will stay here for the next three months, I suggest to find out before we talk."
Chi Xiaoduo hummed, and Xiang Cheng said, "Tao Ran is not in charge of the mansion. I paid attention today. There are people patrolling the southeast corner, northwest corner, and garden."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Xiang Cheng: "?"
Chi Xiaoduo replied: "It's nothing." I wonder if you still pay attention to other people's security measures? I'm still too used to you.
Xiang Cheng took a piece of paper and roughly drew a topographical map on the paper, saying: "The northeast corner is the kitchen, and the southwest corner is the warehouse. The warehouse is locked. There are no patrols in these two places."
"If you want to search the whole mansion thoroughly." Xiang Cheng wanted to tear up the paper, but was stopped by Chi Xiaoduo, Xiang Cheng said: "The easiest and quickest way is to set fire."
"It can't be done." Chi Xiaoduo said, "There are many spells and magic circles here, they must be fireproof, and they are all exorcists. His disciples must be very powerful."
"Then we can only rely on unannounced visits." Xiang Cheng said: "After a long time, we will definitely find it."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "I have seen the type design drawings of this old-fashioned building before. Usually there are darkrooms underground, which are air-raid shelters used to avoid bombing in wars."
"I'm not familiar with architecture." Xiang Cheng straddled the swivel chair with the back of the chair on his chest, turned a few times casually, and asked, "Go ahead."
Chi Xiaoduo turned the paper over, pressed Xiang Cheng's stick figure to his back, brushed it a few times, and outlined a rough topographical map, saying, "If there is a basement, there must be a vent, right?"
"Yes." Xiang Cheng said, "You reminded me, but I didn't expect that. Go find a vent tomorrow."
"No no." Chi Xiaoduo said, "This is only secondary."
"Where there is a vent, there is an exhaust fan." Chi Xiaoduo took a look at Xiang Cheng.
Xiang Cheng: "..."
"You are too smart." Xiang Cheng said.
"In order to ensure that the people in the basement will not be suffocated." Chi Xiaoduo said: "The basement is very deep, so there must be ventilation equipment to ensure air circulation, because carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen, and natural convection alone can easily disperse the air." People are smothered."
Chi Xiaoduo added: "And in old-fashioned buildings, the air blowing system must be double-wired to ensure that the ventilation will not be cut off due to the power failure of the bombing, otherwise all the people in the basement will die."
"So is there a generator?" Xiang Cheng said.
"Maybe it's a talisman." Chi Xiaoduo said: "Maybe it's a magic circle, but the talisman and the magic circle have energy storage value. It won't take long to rely on them to generate wind."
"Well." Xiang Cheng said, "As long as you find the generator, you can find the vent."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "The premise is - power outage."
Xiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'll find a way."
Chi Xiaoduo waved his hand, found the charger, and was hesitating how to play with the wall socket to cause a short circuit, when the engine rang outside and Zheng Quin's car came back.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Xiang Cheng said: "Watch TV, go to bed first."
Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng were covered with quilts, and the spring day was getting colder. The two snuggled up on the bed and watched TV. Chi Xiaoduo felt very warm. They have been together for so long, and it is rare for them to have such a leisurely time.
"Snacks?" Xiang Cheng said, "I'll go to the living room and get you some."
"No need." Chi Xiaoduo yawned and said, Xiang Cheng turned off the light and was about to let him lie down when there was a knock on the door.
Xiang Cheng was going to open the door, but Chi Xiaoduo pressed the remote control, and the door opened by itself.
Xiang Cheng laughed at himself: "I'm still not used to the life of a domineering president."
Chi Xiaoduo rubbed Xiang Cheng's head with a smile, Xiang Cheng lay down on the bed, regained his domineering CEO face, and asked, "What's the matter?"
It was Tao Ran who came in, took a few steps and said, "Master wants to find Chi Xiaoduo to have a cup of tea with him."
Xiang Cheng frowned slightly, Chi Xiao looked at Xiang Cheng more, Xiang Cheng nodded slightly, motioning for him to go.
"I'll report back when I'm sleepy," Tao Ran said.
"I'm not going to sleep yet." Chi Xiaoduo said with a smile, "I'm just lying down."
Xiang Cheng dressed Chi Xiaoduo, and Chi Xiaoduo went out wearing slippers. Tao Ran led him through the corridor to the end of another corridor, and opened the door for him. Inside were still the two bodyguards.
The lights are dim, and the further you go, the brighter the light becomes. Rows of bookshelves separate the road, like a maze with only one road. Chi Xiaoduo turns left and right between the bookshelves, and finally comes to the center of the study .
This is a bookstore. There is a low table in the center of the bookstore. Tea is being cooked on the table. A beautiful girl kneels to serve Zheng Que. Zheng Que wears those round sunglasses and a short silk jacket, showing no expression. , drinking tea on his own.
Chi Xiaoduo saluted Zheng Quin, Zheng Quin nodded, motioning for him to sit down.
Chi Xiaoduo always felt that every time he saw Zheng Quin, he felt a little older.
"Have you figured it out?" Zheng Qin said slowly.
"What... what?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Zheng Que took off his sunglasses, his long pupils glowed golden, stared at Chi Xiaoduo, and smiled gently at him.
"In my life, I have lived through three dynasties." Zheng Quin put a cup of tea in front of Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo: "Thank you teacher."
"Qing, the Republic of China, and now." Zheng Que said: "I have lived for 224 years. When I was five years old, everyone had a ballad that sang 'Heshen fell, and Jiaqing was full'."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"Jiaqing." Zheng Qun said, "Have you studied it in the history books?"
"I've learned it." Chi Xiaoduo felt that this world was suddenly unreal.
"I've seen the Opium War." Zheng Que said thoughtfully: "When the imperial envoy at that time, Mr. Lin, was sent by the emperor himself to go to Guangdong to ban smoking when he left."
"The Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, and the Boxer Regiment helped the Qing Dynasty and wiped out the foreign countries. I have also seen it." Zheng Que said, "When the Queen Mother left Beijing, I was the one who took her with her."
Chi Xiaoduo held his breath, not daring to answer.
"Sun Wen Jianguo invited me to Nanjing and let me watch the stars. At that time, he stayed in Nanjing for a long time." Zheng Qun said again.
"What kind of person is the father of the nation?" Chi Xiaoduo finally couldn't help interjecting.
Zheng Que thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I almost forgot, it's not high, less than 1.7 meters."
Chi Xiaoduo nodded, and Zheng Que said, "Later, Lao Mao fought the Yangtze River, and Lao Jiang ran away in a panic. I didn't go to Taiwan with a single thought. Guess why?"
"For the blood demon?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Zheng Que nodded, sighed, and Chi Xiaoduo took a sip of tea.
"Do you understand tea?" Zheng Qun asked again.
"I don't understand." Chi Xiaoduo said with a sneer.
"It doesn't matter." Zheng Que said: "When you entered my Jiuhua Gate in the past, there were strict examinations for poetry, calligraphy, six arts, and Yi Xue. It was extremely difficult to formally come in with a teacher."
Chi Xiaoduo was a little apprehensive, and said, "I... can't do anything."
"Teacher knows." Zheng Que signaled Chi Xiaoduo to be at ease, and said, "But what I fear the most is not the blood demon, but my Jiuhuamen who have no successors."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Zheng Que shook his head, and smiled at Chi Xiaoduo, the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.
"Why?" Chi Xiaoduo asked: "Teacher, don't you have quite a lot of disciples?"
"Do you know why my school is called Jiuhua School?" Zheng Quin asked again.
Chi Xiaoduo blushed, and replied, "I don't know."
Chi Xiaoduo simply didn't know what to ask, and didn't understand anything.
"Nine." Zheng Que said: "It is the number of the Han people who connect the heavens and the earth, and it is also the number of the Qian Gua. On the ninth day of the first day, don't use Qianlong. On the second day, seeing the dragon in the field is beneficial to the adults. The establishment of Jiuhuamen At the beginning, it was during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, when the founding master got a real dragon in Cangshan to teach him the secret of heaven, so he realized the Tao."
"Oh—" Chi Xiaoduo nodded hastily, gave her a good laugh, and asked, "What about Hua?"
"Hua means Huagai star." Zheng Que replied: "The people in Jiuhuamen learn the art of stargazing. The canopy covers the roof. They are suitable for monks and Taoists rather than ordinary people, so the Jiuhua School has always had a small number of people. What you see , Tao Ran and those who say they are disciples don't enter the house."
"Why?" Chi Xiaoduo asked in surprise.
"There is no chance." Zheng Que said: "There is a magic weapon of the Zhen faction in the Jiuhuamen. This magic weapon can only be used by people with dragon souls. Its power is enough to attract the power from the heavenly veins and smash all evil spirits in the world. , to purify the nightmare."
"This magic weapon is above the exorcism committee. It is specially designed to deal with powerful demons that even human exorcists cannot restrain. It is also the last trump card to ensure the safety of the mortal world. After I leave the world, I must hand it over to the right person hands, and this suitable person... there is only one right now." Zheng Qun said slowly.
Chi Xiaoduo was stunned, and Zheng Que replied: "Without dragon power, the magic weapon cannot be operated. If you don't take over as the master, no one can use this magic weapon anymore."
"But the Qi family also—" Chi Xiaoduo said: "Qi Wei's spell is to summon the dragon, and their family has a contract with the dragon."
"The ancestors of the Qi family once made a contract with the Jiao clan, and it was not the dragon that was invited by the spell." Zheng Que said: "It's just the Jiao clan that turned into a dragon."
"Chi Kiss is just the son of a dragon." Chi Xiaoduo said, "A dragon has nine sons, each of which is different. Does that count?"
Zheng Que nodded, and said again: "Jing Hao was a suitable successor, what a pity! Brother, in order to obtain the power of Zhenhuang, he did everything he could..."
Chi Xiaoduo remained silent, knowing that Zheng Que was hinting to himself that it was time to learn from his teacher.
After a long period of silence, the girl lifted the pot, and the sound of tea poured into Chi Xiaoduo's cup continued to spin.
Zheng Qun said again: "Teacher, my time is approaching."
"Ah?!" Chi Xiaoduo asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Prosperity and decline are nothing but fate, and prosperity and decline are also common. We have made an agreement with each other, and life and death will not be panic-stricken."
Zheng Que said indifferently: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are determined by God. If you enter my sect, in the next few months, I will give all I have learned in my life. The Seven Treasure Bodhi Tree will also be handed over to you to inherit. "
"This manor in the future, all the property under the name of the teacher will belong to you." Zheng Que said: "The driving committee should follow your lead, and no one will take care of you. That is the real one above ten thousand people."
Chi Xiaoduo was vaguely scared, why
"A member of Jiuhua Sect." Zheng Que said again: "I have to listen to your orders. Although Xiang Cheng is the king of all demons, if he matches you, he is at most a good match. What are you waiting for?"
"I..." Chi Xiaoduo hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Why did you choose me." Chi Xiaoduo finally said, "It's just because I have dragon pupils, isn't it?"
Zheng Que didn't answer, the incense in the censer burned to the end.
"Go to the bookshelf and fetch the third volume from the fourth floor." Zheng Que ordered.
Chi Xiaoduo took down a pair of scrolls and spread them out on the table. On the top was a picture scroll, on which was painted smoke and clouds. On a high mountain, a man stood in front of the dragon's head with a long staff, triggering thunder. , The scene of smashing the monsters under the mountain, there is no doubt about it immediately.
"Aren't you afraid of me, have you mastered such a great power and used it to do evil?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
"I understand you." Zheng Que said leisurely: "When you don't know, the teacher has a clear insight into your every move. You are much more suitable than Tao Ran and the others, and you are more able to take on this important task. You have passed me. brave, resourceful, and with a pure heart..."
The screen of Chi Xiaoduo's mobile phone on the table lit up, with Xiang Cheng's name flashing on it, and the background was a selfie of the two cuddling together.
"I know you are kind-hearted, you can control yourself, and I will hand over the Jiuhua Gate to you." Zheng Qun said: "Teacher, don't worry."
Chi Xiaoduo didn't know why, and felt a burst of panic. Zheng Que said "when you don't know it", that is to say, he has been monitoring his and Xiang Cheng's every move.
"You... are in good health." Chi Xiaoduo said, "There will be no problem."
"Two and a half months later, on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month." Zheng Que said, "I will divide the soul for Ba Snake at the latest before that night. It is the end, and it is even more necessary to control the power of the demon seed, if I do not use up my soul power, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great things."
Chi Xiaoduo's heart beat wildly.
"Old... Teacher." Chi Xiaoduo murmured, "Are you..."
Chi Xiaoduo vaguely understood the meaning of the words - if Zheng Que helped Xiang Cheng preside over the ceremony, separate the snake soul, and then seal the demon seed, all his soul power would be consumed. If you help Xiang Cheng, you will never survive the Ghost Festival.
That's why he had to designate an heir before he died, lest there would be no successors for the Jiuhua Sect after his death.
