"Could this sword be the reason for the destruction of Tianmen Town?"

Qiu Shuijing's heart trembled, as if time froze in Su Yun's eyes, imprinting the scene before the destruction of Tianmen Town.

However, the fact is, Su Yun was just a child living in Tianmen Town at that time. He looked up at the sword at the moment the long sword flew here, and this scene was imprinted in his eyes.

But the price was that his eyes could not withstand the sharpness and power of the magic sword, and he became blind!

His pupils were compressed to the extreme by the intense light, and the imprint of the immortal sword was blocked in his pupils, making him unable to see anything!

This is probably the change that Mr. Yehu mentioned.

"Mr. Shuijing?" Su Yun asked in confusion after not hearing Qiu Shuijing's voice for a long time.

Qiu Shuijing calmed himself down and said, "I'm here."

His voice was trembling, but he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

The legendary cave world actually exists!

Doesn’t this mean that immortal immortals also exist

He continued to look around and suddenly made another discovery. He saw that the Tianmen Town below the magic sword was different from the Tianmen Town now.

There are eight towers in Tianmen Town, and each one is extremely exquisite, with various mythical beasts painted on them, as if spiritual beings with magical powers were clinging to the towers.

"Chaotianque!"

The corner of Qiu Shuijing's eyes twitched, and when he compared the directions of the Eight-sided Tower of Heaven and the Tianmen Archway, his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"These eight-sided towers and Tianmen form a peculiar formation. The masters who settled in Tianmen Town have made some achievements in studying the Tianmen Ghost Market. This cave world of immortality belongs to them, to them..."

His face was uncertain, and he suddenly calmed down and confirmed his guess: "They got through by themselves!"

He finally sorted out the relationship here.

The emperor of Yuanshuo Kingdom ordered the country's masters to come here to study the Tianmen Ghost Market, trying to find out the secret of Tianmen Ghost Market and thus satisfy the emperor's wish for immortality.

These celebrities came to Tianmen Town and lived with the townspeople, among whom was Su Yun's family.

These masters transformed Tianmen Town, demolished the original houses in Tianmen Town, and rebuilt Tianmen Town based on the Tianmen Ghost Market.

They also made a breakthrough in their research, and this breakthrough focused on the Eight-sided Tower.

They used their respective spiritual powers to bless Chaotianque, and one night, they finally opened the portal to another world and connected the two worlds!

But the changes that followed were beyond their expectations.

They tried to enter that world, but encountered resistance from that world. A magic sword flew out from that world and killed them, as well as everyone in Tianmen Town.

The water column connecting the two worlds fell from the sky, causing a tsunami in the North Sea, causing heavy casualties in Tianshiyuan. The area within a hundred miles around Tianmen Town became an uninhabited area where demons were rampant.

It was the strong man in Tianmen Town who caused this disaster!

"But why didn't Su Yun die?"

Qiu Shuijing was puzzled. All the masters in Tianmen Town were dead, both humans and animals, all disappeared, and only the masters' souls were left.

Why didn't Su Yun, an ordinary child, die in this incident

"Perhaps the strong men in Tianmen Town felt that this innocent child was implicated, so they saved him from the disaster."

Qiu Shuijing thought to himself, “After the disaster in Tianmen Town, they took extra care of this child.”

This may be an explanation, but it cannot satisfy Qiu Shuijing.

There was another point that he couldn't understand, that is, if the masters of Tianmen Town were killed by the magic sword, then their souls should be more easily killed.

The soul is attached to the physical body and is more fragile.

What’s strange is that the spirits of the masters in Tianmen Town were preserved, but their bodies disappeared!

It is impossible for everyone's physical body to be destroyed while their soul is preserved.

"This shows that my guess was not entirely correct. There must have been other unexpected events that happened that year."

Qiu Shuijing's eyes flashed, the mystery of Tianmen Town has not been completely solved.

The whereabouts of the Eight-sided Palace is also a mystery.

He looked around; all the buildings in Tianmen Town were still there, even Tianmen had not been destroyed in the disaster. Only the Chaotianque, which had eight sides leading to the portal to another world, had disappeared.

Who took away the Eight-sided Tower

"Either he is the emperor of Dongdu, or someone is trying to steal his food. Interesting..."

Qiu Shuijing smiled slightly and dissipated his magic power. The projection of the magic sword returned to Su Yun's eyes again.

"You are not really blind, but there is something blocking your pupil."

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "As long as you dissolve the foreign matter blocking your pupils, or let it leave your pupils, your eyes will be restored."

Su Yun became excited, but then became depressed again.

How should he get rid of the foreign object in his eyes

In the past few years, he listened to the advice of the townspeople and set up a stall at the market, hoping that someone would be interested in his "treasure" and heal his eyes. However, it was obvious that his "treasure" was not a real treasure, and no one was interested.

"I can't come up with so much money..." Su Yun stammered.

Qiu Shuijing laughed: "I didn't say that I would heal your eyes."

Su Yun lowered his head and pursed his lips.

This is a somewhat stubborn boy who is unwilling to ask for help.

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "I am just teaching you how to treat your eyes. Healing your eyes is your business and has nothing to do with me. Do you need to pay yourself to treat your eyes?"

Su Yun looked up in surprise.

"But I am not a teacher in the official school, but a teacher in a private school, a private teacher who tutors the sons of noble families."

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "So, I still have to pay you tuition. Give me a five-zhu coin and I will teach you."

Wuzhu coin was the smallest coin in the Yuanshuo Kingdom. One coin weighed five baht, so it was called Wuzhu coin.

Su Yun's face flushed, and he fumbled in his sleeve for a long time but still couldn't take it out.

Qiu Shuijing was puzzled: "You don't have even one five-zhu coin?"

Su Yun nodded in shame and said quickly: "Sir, my treasures..."

Qiu Shuijing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Su Yun’s “treasures” were actually burial objects for the poor and were worthless.

Qiu Shuijing is a man with a strange temper and his own principles. He has always believed that knowledge has a price. He can teach Su Yun how to treat "eye disease", but Su Yun must make a contribution and it cannot be given for free.

Of course, what he taught Su Yun was much more than a five-zhu coin. The reason why he had to take a coin was because of his principles.

It was because of his temper that he couldn't make it in Dongdu and had to resign and leave that place of trouble.

"Wait a moment, sir."

Su Yun said quickly: "I'll go find Mr. Yehu to borrow a coin."

Qiu Shuijing laughed loudly, and his laughter dispersed the haze in Tianmen Town, letting the sun shine down, just shining on Su Yun's house: "I will go with you. After I teach you, I will return to Shuofang."

Su Yun led the way. Qiu Shuijing saw the yellow bell appear again, spinning and counting the time. He was moved and asked, "Su Yun, how did you survive?"

Su Yun was slightly stunned.

Qiu Shuijing said: "I mean, what happened after you became blind?"

The young man continued walking forward, leaving Tianmen Town, and said, "I don't know what happened. I just remember that I took a nap, and when I woke up, I found myself locked in a small house, so I knocked desperately. It was Uncle Cen who opened the door and let me out."

"Cen Bo?"

"It's Uncle Cen who lives under the willow tree."

Su Yun raised his finger, and Qiu Shuijing saw the crooked willow tree again. There was no one or house under the willow tree, only a deserted grave.

"Uncle Cen lived next to my house. He was a strange man who didn't like to talk to people. He told me that my house was destroyed and asked me to move to the town. So I moved to the town, and the uncles and aunts in the town took good care of me..."

When Qiu Shuijing heard this, he looked around and asked, "Where is your original home?"

Su Yun raised his hand and pointed. Qiu Shuijing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw only a small grave and a rotten and dilapidated small coffin.

Qiu Shuijing fell silent.

The boy was six or seven years old at the time. He was unconscious and was mistaken for a dead person and buried in a coffin.

After he woke up, he must have knocked on the coffin at night, which startled the spirit in the grave under the crooked willow tree not far away, that is, "Cen Bo".

Cen Bo rescued him from the grave and directed him to live in the town.

Su Yun was blind and had no idea that the person talking to him was not a human. He also didn't know that he was the only living person in Tianmen Town where he lived!
