The next morning, Xue Xin was awakened by the sound of a bell outside. Then, Xue Xin, whose hearing had become increasingly sensitive, heard the sound of many people walking around outside. For some reason, Xue Xin had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, in a short while, someone came to invite Xue Xin and his son to the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Perfected Chong Yang sitting on the main seat and talking about something. The Seven Sons of Quan Zhen Sect and the old urchin who had not appeared for a long time stood respectfully at the lower seats and kept nodding as the Perfected One spoke. However, their faces were full of sorrow. After listening to a few words, Xue Xin realized that the Perfected One was actually making arrangements for his funeral! Xue Xin suddenly felt very sad. He thought of how these days, Immortal Chong Yang had to spend a lot of genuine Qi to check his body every day for fear of any problems, but his spirit was getting worse day by day. Xue Xin could not help but shed tears. Originally, Xue Xin had undergone a huge change after he woke up. He no longer looked like an ordinary baby, nor did he cry. He had become much more worry-free, and everyone had long been used to it. But now, they were crying silently. Seeing this scene, the Quan Zhen Sect could not control their tears anymore. On the contrary, the Perfected One comforted everyone with a few more words. After giving instructions on other matters, the Perfected One turned his head and took Xue Xin from Mother Xue's hands. He held him in his arms and looked at him for a long time. Then, he took out a jade pendant from his body and stuffed it into Xue Xin's swaddling clothes. However, he did not leave any instructions for this youngest disciple. After Mother Xue took Xue Xin back, the Immortal ordered Zhou Botong to bring the Nine Yin Scripture and lit a fire to burn it. However, after touching it for a long time, he sighed and said,"How can Senior's life's work be destroyed by me? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. It depends on how the future generations use this scripture. However, all disciples of the Quanzhen Sect must not practice the martial arts in the scriptures, lest others say that I have selfish motives for stealing the scriptures. Botong, after I die, find two suitable places to store the first and second volumes of this scripture separately, so that others won't easily get their hands on it and harm the martial arts world."”The old naughty child quickly agreed. After Perfected Chong Yang said these few words, he closed his eyes and passed away. The hall was filled with cries.
Xue Xin slept alone that night. The senior brothers took pity on him, so Mother Xue stood guard for him. However, he had not fallen asleep. Part of the reason was that he was sad. Daoist Master Chong Yang was the person who had done the most for him since he came to this world, but now he had suddenly passed away. Xue Xin could not even say a word of thanks to him. The more important reason why he couldn't sleep was that he knew that there would be many things going on tonight. Sure enough, around midnight, the Chongyang Palace began to become lively. There were sounds of fighting and scolding everywhere. It was noisy until it was almost dawn before it quieted down.
Listening to the shouts of killing outside, and thinking of his mother and senior brothers who were fighting with the enemy outside, and now he could do nothing, Xue Xin had never been so eager to grow up. It was not until his mother returned after daybreak that Xue Xin felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep.
After finishing the funeral affairs of Immortal Chong Yang, it was time for the mother and son of the Xue family to leave Chongyang Palace. The seven sons of Quan Zhen Sect naturally sent them off attentively (for Xue Xin, this sensible and cute little junior brother, they all liked him very much). They did not expect that the old mischievous child would actually follow them down the mountain. On the surface, he was escorting his martial nephew. In fact, everyone knew that he was following Immortal Chong Yang's last wish to find a proper place to collect the Nine Yin Scripture. But in fact, there was another reason that only Xue Xin and the old naughty child knew: The reason why he wanted to follow the Xue mother and son was because the old naughty child still hadn't given up on Xue Xin's ability to circulate internal energy at any time and place, and wanted to spend more time with him to study it. Unfortunately, Xue Xin couldn't speak now, so he naturally couldn't express his dissatisfaction with the old naughty boy's idea of treating him as a lab rat. He could only let it be.
The Xue family lived in seclusion in Leigu Mountain, southeast of Luoyang. Therefore, the three of them went down the mountain. They first arrived at the nearest city, Chang 'an, and then headed east to Luoyang first. This section was a main road, and nothing happened along the way. However, after resting for a night in Luoyang, Madam Xue felt sore all over the next morning and even had a high fever. The old mischievous child quickly found a doctor. After the diagnosis, he found that it was fine. The illness was not serious. It turned out that she had been overly worried about her son during this period of time. Then, it happened that Daoist Master Chong Yang had passed away. When she was handling Daoist Master Chong Yang's funeral, she had also put in a lot of effort. She was a little overworked. It was fine if she had been tense all the time, but now that she was in Luoyang and was not far from home, she could not help but fall ill when her mind relaxed. Madam Xue only fell asleep after eating the medicine that the shop owner had made for her.
The inn that Xue Xin and the others were staying in had a good condition in Xue Xin's eyes. There was a restaurant on the street side, and the guest rooms were at the back. The courtyard between the restaurant and the guest rooms had the layout of Jiangnan gardens. There was a rockery and a pond, which not only made the guest rooms at the back more quiet and not disturbed by the noise of the restaurant and the street in front, but also allowed the guests in the restaurant in front to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden while dining. Up until now, Xue Xin and the old mischievous child had not even touched a drop of water today, so once Madam Xue fell asleep, the old mischievous child carried Xue Xin to the restaurant in front to find something to eat. Business was good at noon. The first floor was already full. The old naughty boy was carrying a child and it was inconvenient for him to squeeze downstairs, so he went straight to the second floor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the second floor, before the old naughty boy and Xue Xin could observe the environment, they heard someone calling out to the old naughty boy. The old naughty boy was also stunned. He quickly looked at the window where the sound came from. When he saw the two people sitting at the table under the window, the old naughty boy smiled and quickly walked over. He even promised,"I was wondering who it was. So it's you, Old Evil Huang.”
It turned out to be Medicine Master Huang, who was known as the Evil East. He had just married a wife and was taking her on a "honeymoon". Today, he had been walking around Luoyang for the whole morning. Now, he was having lunch here and happened to meet Old Wantong and the others. Xue Xin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words " Old Evil Huang ". Although he knew that the old naughty boy met Medicine Master Huang and his wife on the way down the mountain to deal with the Nine Yin Scripture and was cheated of the second volume of the scripture when he read " Eagle Shooting " in his previous life, he thought that this would not happen again in this life because of his appearance. After all, this little butterfly of his seemed to have a great influence on the old mischievous child. However, he did not expect to meet Medicine Master Huang and his wife here. Immediately, he began to look forward to what was about to happen.
Xue Xin was still very curious about the Nine Yang Sutra. When he was bored and recalling the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, he realized that his memory was much better than in his previous life. Although he was also a fierce person who had memorized the entire Materia Medica in his previous life, his memory paled in comparison to his memory now. Now, whenever he thought about it, he would feel as if a physical book had appeared in his mind and he could calmly flip through it. This must be the benefit of the qualitative change in his spiritual power. If it happened that Huang Yaoshi and his wife cheated the old naughty boy of the scriptures like in the original novel, Xue Xin would have a chance. As for Wang Chongyang's words about forbidding Quanzhen disciples to practice the kung fu on the scriptures, Xue Xin never took it to heart." Master only said that Quanzhen disciples are not allowed to practice, but I'm not a Quanzhen disciple."”Xue Xin really found a high-sounding excuse.
After thinking so much, the time that had passed was actually very short. It was just enough for the old naughty boy to walk to Medicine Master Huang's table. Only then did Xue Xin see the legendary Huang Yaoshi. The old mischievous child had called him Old Evil, but Huang Yaoshi did not look old at all. He looked to be in his thirties. His face was thin, and his eyebrows flew into his temples. Because he was newly married, his face was red and full of heroic spirit. Looking at Madam Huang next to him, even if Xue Xin was mentally prepared, coupled with the fact that he had seen many of those devastatingly beautiful big stars in the era of information explosion in his previous life, Xue Xin had no choice but to admit that Madam Huang was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. "Her skin is as white as snow, and she is incomparably beautiful.”This was the description of Huang Rong that Xue Xin had read in his previous life. It wasn't until he saw Madam Huang that Xue Xin realized that when he really saw this person, he realized that those words that he thought were wonderful and vivid were actually so empty and powerless when used to describe the real person. Madam Huang stood up with her husband to welcome the guests. She was originally standing behind her husband, but when she saw the old naughty child holding a baby, the baby's pair of black and clear eyes stared at her without blinking. There seemed to be a thoughtful look in his eyes. If it was an adult who dared to stare at her like this, he would have been annoyed. However, Xue Xin was still a baby, so when Madam Huang saw this baby who was different from the usual shy baby, she was very happy. Therefore, when Medicine Master Huang was introducing the two of them to each other, he even asked about it. When he heard the old naughty boy say that this was the disciple that Immortal Chong Yang took in before his death, even Medicine Master Huang took a few more glances at Xue Xin. However, because it involved the family affairs of another sect, he didn't ask much.
It seemed that the old naughty boy and Medicine Master Huang had a good relationship. At least, when the old naughty boy heard Medicine Master Huang say that the woman beside him was his new wife, the old naughty boy even teased him. However, Medicine Master Huang didn't look angry at all. Instead, he pulled the old naughty boy to sit down and drink. As for our "poor" Xue Xin, he couldn't care less about the old urchin after he sat down, so he was snatched over by Madam Huang. Madam Huang also specially ordered a bowl of porridge and slowly fed him while listening to Medicine Master Huang and Zhou Botong talk about some strange things in Jianghu. After three rounds of drinking, Huang Yaoshi suddenly asked about the recent rumors circulating in Jianghu about Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, who went to the Western Regions after going to Mount Zhongnan. Therefore, the old naughty boy exaggerated the story of how Immortal Chongyang faked his death and Ouyang Feng went to snatch the scriptures in the middle of the night, but was ambushed by Immortal Chongyang and escaped with serious injuries. The three of them listened with great interest. When they heard that Ouyang Feng had been beaten back, Madam Huang finally reacted. She had originally scooped a spoonful of porridge and wanted to feed Little Xue Xin, but she was so engrossed in listening that she put her hands in the air. Now, the porridge was cold. However, when she looked again, she realized that Little Xue Xin was still staring at the old child like she had just now. She did not expect that this baby could actually understand the words of the adults. She thought that the child was imitating her. When she saw such a small baby listening to others 'stories with great interest, she could not help but smile. She liked this little person even more.
