Chapter 286: Teachers, Teaching and Educating
"You are a Nathan Guard after all. With your ability, how come you were imprisoned later, not to mention inheriting the throne?"
Jiang Mo teased that in 1942, in order to take back the goods from the Lu family, he almost killed all the Wang and Wei at that time. Among the remaining guards, the old man in front of him was the strongest.
The old man was stunned by this question, as if he was thinking seriously. The turbid sea of his mind was rippling slightly, and he narrated his past in a daze.
"I am not qualified to be king because my faith has wavered. After you leave, another priest will take over the throne.
“In the years that followed, I discovered that when the tree blessed the children born under it, it moved its hands and feet, absorbing the nutrients of their souls and subtly influencing them to deepen their faith.”
"The king and I could not accept this. Just when we were about to give up our faith and declare the kingdom dissolved, a certain islander broke the golden branch and gained the qualification to challenge the king."
"However, our health had already begun to decline, and the other young Nathan Guards disagreed with our ideas and were secretly in close contact with the challenger. As a result, we encountered a coup in the kingdom, were defeated miserably, and were imprisoned in the dungeon."
The old man surnamed Chen sighed with regret. He had been locked in a dark and lightless cage for so many years, and he felt endless regret. He should have let the strong man from his hometown destroy the tree. The reason why he stopped him was probably because he was influenced by the tree's subconscious mind.
"We are like a group of wild beasts in a primitive jungle, following the iron rule of the jungle. Whoever has enough power to ignore the king and the guards can covet and compete for the throne. Even the guards can challenge the king."
"Didn't the new king execute you?"
Jiang Mo initially thought that their throne was hereditary.
"without"
"What's the point of killing a few old men? They'll just imprison us."
"It is said that his throne was inherited by his granddaughter."
The old man showed a complicated smile and asked curiously: "Did you meet them this time?"
"When I arrived, King Nathan was already dead. Only an empty shell occupied by a tree remained. It took me a lot of effort to find it."
Jiang Mo roughly recounted the cause and effect of the incident to the old man.
When the old man heard that the tree was revived and the two sides were fighting fiercely, he was a little surprised:
"Really? No wonder it's so strong. If it's always been His consciousness that continues, it does have the qualifications;"
"You have to know that the enemy that drove the kingdom away from its homeland a thousand years ago was the huge Roman Empire at its peak. In addition to the army, there were also people with all kinds of amazing abilities. In the end, they paid a heavy price to narrowly win, and they have been declining rapidly since then."
"And you actually won. That's really amazing."
The old man felt sincerely impressed. He handed over the bottle and tapped it lightly, making a crisp sound as a sign of respect, and then drank the wine.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Jiang Mo asked again: "Don't you want to go back and take a look?"
"The fallen leaves return to their roots. I don't even have a home anymore, so what difference does it make where I live? Besides, I'm getting old now, and living another three or four years is a blessing. I don't want to move around anymore."
The old man surnamed Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was not resisting his homeland, but he had been imprisoned for many years and was already exhausted. He just wanted to enjoy his old age and no longer care about worldly affairs.
By the bonfire on a moonlit night, the two chatted like familiar friends, and did not rest until more than two hours had passed and the sky was about to brighten.
The next day.
The comatose Feng Baobao opened her eyes and found herself in a gathering place in the woods. The wounds on her body had been bandaged. Just when she thought it was a dream, she suddenly saw a familiar elder.
"Grandpa, why are you here too? Did you save me?"
Next to the grass, Lu Jin was cooking porridge. His white hair was tied up and his face was handsome. He did not look old. Feng Baobao recognized him because of his unique and obvious Qi, which brought with it a chill that penetrated his soul, body and mind.
Most of the disguise methods in the martial arts world can only cover up the appearance, but cannot modify the Qi. Often, masters who have practiced well can see through some crude disguises by looking at the Qi.
"It just happened to be here, little girl, does the wound still hurt?"
"Nothing."
Lu Jin didn't look back. He fiddled with the firewood, controlling the temperature. At the same time, he took out his cell phone from his arms with his right hand and handed it to Feng Baobao.
"Your colleagues Xu San and Xu Si are very worried about you. Contact them and ask them to send someone to pick you up later."
"Oh well, thank you old man."
Feng Baobao took the phone, entered the phone number, and asked:
"Grandpa, I want to ask you something. What happened to Zhang Chulan?"
Feng Baobao was still thinking about this lackey. It was thanks to his help that she indirectly knew about her life experience. She still felt worried when she thought that he was in danger of his life while wandering outside.
"Very good, now I am on Mount Longhu, and I am the new Heavenly Master."
"It's promising."
"Dududu-"
The call went through, and Xu Si, who was still recuperating at Trinity Gate, said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, eh, what can I do for you?"
"it's me."
Feng Baobao's words were concise and to the point. After a brief silence, there was a roar of ecstasy from the other side:
"Baby?! You're back? Why are you staying with Mr. Lu? He actually found you. Where are you? I'll pick you up. Xu San, get up. It's the baby, the baby!!"
"Ah? I don't know, Grandpa, where are we?"
"Nathan." "Siwazi, we are in Nathan." Feng Baobao relayed the message truthfully.
"Okay. I'll arrange for someone right away. Baby, wait a moment. Tell me what happened these days."
Xu Si was eager to find out the news. He couldn't understand how Feng Baobao was abducted to such an isolated place like Nasen.
"I don't know. Some guys who said they were my creators brought me here."
"Thirty-six thieves? It's okay, it's okay, as long as you are safe."
Xu Si was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and explained carefully:
"Baby, follow Mr. Lu closely, don't run around, wait for us to get there, okay?"
"know."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then hung up the phone. Feng Baobao then dialed Zhang Chulan's number again, got in touch with him and chatted about his recent situation.
At the same time, inside the Sanyi Gate, Xu Si dragged Xu San out of bed without stopping, urging him:
"Come on, the baby is back, let's go pick her up."
".Where to pick up?"
Xu San, who was also immersed in joy, seemed to be more restrained and frowned:
"Baby's secret has been exposed. If you bring her back to the company, will we have any chance to contact her in the future?"
His words were like a wake-up call to Xu Si, making him a little more sober. The research value of an immortal body was self-evident;
Not to mention them, even if it was the company, it would not be easy to keep the baby and reject requests from other research departments.
"But, if she doesn't go back to the company, where can she go?"
Xu Si scratched his head and thought, "It's not possible not to go back. Uncle Zhao is still being punished. Besides, the situation is not as bad as we thought."
"Don't you think this is the safest place?"
Xu San pushed his glasses and analyzed:
"All the seniors and disciples in the sect are very young. Isn't this a kind of immortality?"
"Birds of a feather flock together. If the baby can join the Trinity Sect, it will undoubtedly be the best blessing for her. With such a living immortal elder watching over her, even if she walks out openly in the future, who would dare to hurt her?"
"The most important thing is that we will all get older and we won't be able to stay with our babies all the time. You have to admit that."
Xu Si understood what Xu San meant, and pursed his lips and pondered: "So, if I become your disciple, I can go back to the company? That's a good idea, but who should I choose as my master?"
"I can't expect anything from Senior Jiang. He hasn't accepted any disciples in more than 70 years. It's impossible for him to make an exception for me. I'm not familiar with other seniors because they have their own disciples."
Hearing this, Xu San smiled calmly and reminded:
"You are confused! Mr. Lu! With his character, no one is more suitable than him. The baby will not be led astray by him, and his cultivation is also terrifyingly deep. When the Heavenly Master was fighting against Quan Xing some time ago, the company and the Ten Lords went to stop him, but he defeated Na Ruhu, one of the two heroes, with one hand. Who could have thought of this?"
"Besides, Master Lu saved the baby this time. He was concerned about the baby when we first met last time. He thought we had done something to her. In my opinion, it's right to take him as your master. With their background, they even have the complete Eight Wonders. They won't take advantage of the baby's body."
"What kind of body is that? It's so ugly."
Xu Si's eyes turned dark and he almost fainted from anger.
"Okay, okay, just tell me how my arrangement is going."
Xu San couldn't help but look forward to it. He felt that the probability of this happening was quite high. If the baby really joined Trinity, they would be considered to have found a strong leader. Wouldn't they be able to walk around with pride in the future?
"Hiss - I think it's okay. Let the baby know and ask her to behave better and be smarter so as to get closer to Mr. Lu."
After the two brothers thought about it, they called back immediately and gave all kinds of advice, chattering on as attentively as a materialistic aunt who was trying to find a rich husband for her daughter.
after an hour.
At the Nathan gathering place, Feng Baobao sat on the grass next to the firewood. She propped up her chin and stared blankly at Lu Jin. Thinking of Xu San and Xu Si's methods, she racked her brains and said:
"Grandpa, are you accepting me as a disciple? What do you think of me?"
"you?"
Lu Jin looked at Feng Baobao and replied without hesitation:
"No, I don't have the energy to guide you in your practice. As a teacher, I am responsible for your growth throughout your life. I don't have the intention to do so."
"There are more than just the Sanyi Sect in the world."
"what"
Feng Baobao was a little surprised. She was rejected right after she said this. She stood there in a daze. They were both silent and no longer spoke.
Noon.
Jiang Mo was meditating at the base. Through the vision shared by his Dharma body, he saw that in all parts of the distant world, parasites of Duanmu Ying with completely different skin colors were dying one after another. In just one night, he killed more than three hundred of them, and there were still more than seventeen hundred left.
They began to flee frantically, even hiding in the crowd, looking threatening.
However, it did not work. Due to the huge disparity in strength, the parasites did not even have a chance to attack before they were wiped out by a glance from the Dharmakaya.
One thousand seven hundred and ninety.
One thousand five hundred and twenty.
One thousand three hundred and ninety.
The footsteps of death were approaching, and the parasites in the country were completely eliminated. Duanmu Ying fled in panic. Some of her clones containing soul seeds relied on the overseas network of Yaoxing Society and secretly hid in the bases of some forces, but they still could not escape the disaster.
