Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 594 Bei Mingzi

"Come in and sit down." Bei Mingzi, who was standing quietly at the door, spoke first, breaking the silence. His voice was quiet, with no hint of likes and dislikes, nor joy or sorrow.

"Uh... Okay." Gu Xun came to his senses and nodded subconsciously in response. By the time he walked towards the house, Bei Mingzi had disappeared from his previous position.

Entering the house, there is no need to elaborate on the simple interior layout. Bei Mingzi is sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a small teapot and pouring tea.

Gu Xun stepped forward and sat down opposite Bei Mingzi. At this time, Bei Mingzi also poured tea, one cup for each person.

Gu Xun held up the tea cup but did not drink it. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Senior Bei Mingzi just suddenly attacked me. What was his intention?"

"Ha!" There was no smile on the old face, but he still let out a clear smile, "On a whim, I want to test your reaction."

"Uh..." Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, what kind of reason is this...

"Senior, aren't you afraid of angering me?"

"Then are you angry?" Bei Mingzi's voice sounded without joy or sorrow.

"……No."

"That's good." Bei Mingzi seemed to be a little lucky, but not really, and suddenly asked, "How do you feel about that sword?"

"Uh..." Gu Xun frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "My feeling is...Senior is both stronger and weaker than I thought."

Bei Mingzi's sudden sword attack just now was not very strong in terms of strength. Even according to Gu Xun's perception, Chi Songzi could probably use a sword control move stronger than that. , but... the sword just now is very similar to Bei Mingzi's state. It should be a very conspicuous thing, but people will unconsciously ignore it.

Uh... Why is he such a Taoist master always feeling like an assassin?

Bei Mingzi replied nonchalantly, "I am nearly a hundred years old. In terms of strength, I cannot compare with young people."

Gu Xun hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Is that... the same as the light?"

"Yes, and no." Bei Mingzi replied ambiguously, and then suggested, "If you want to see He Guang Tongchen more straightforwardly, you can go to Chi Songzi."

Gu Xun shook his head frankly, "I don't understand. Does Senior mean that your practice of Harmony with Light and Dust is more advanced?"

"Huh... There is no profound thing about being in harmony with light and dust. There is only whether you know how to do it or not." Bei Mingzi shook his head slowly.

"...Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Xun decided to skip the topic of martial arts and just use the system to copy and paste when he has time later. "Gu visited the senior and came here for Canglong Qisu."

Bei Mingzi nodded slightly, looking at Gu Xun quietly with his old but clear eyes, waiting for his next words.

"Uh, senior, is there anything you can tell me?" When Bei Mingzi was asked, Gu Xun didn't know where to start from, so he simply turned the topic to the other party.

Bei Mingzi didn't speak for a while, either because he was choked by Gu Xun's way of asking the question or something. After a moment of silence, he responded:

"Canglong Qisu... is a kind of power."

"This... people who know it, let's say this. It is said that if you get it, you can gain the power of the world?"

"No, it's not a legend, it's just a powerful force." Bei Mingzi denied Gu Xun's statement.

"So... it can be used by others to make people stronger?" Gu Xun followed his words and guessed. Bei Mingzi shook his head again, "I don't know, and no one knows what the use of this power is."

"Donghuang Taiyi doesn't know either?" Gu Xun asked with a frown.

"I don't know." Bei Mingzi affirmed, "The truth about Canglong Qisu has been lost in history for thousands of years, and it has become a secret even before the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty. Even the Zhou royal family knows very little about it. "

"Donghuang Taiyi, he just regards it as his mission and pursues it blindly. It doesn't matter to him what the power is. All he wants is to reproduce the origin of Canglong Qisu."

"Mission? Because of what, family inheritance, or teacher's inheritance?" Gu Xun asked.

"Maybe it would be better to ask him personally." Bei Mingzi did not answer, maybe because he didn't know clearly or didn't want to say anything.

"Okay..." Gu Xun closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then summarized what he knew so far and said:

"So... the method, or process, to recreate the power of Canglong Qisu is to collect the boxes in the hands of the seven royal families, and use certain people to use the special functions of the Phantom Sound Box in the East China Sea. Find the right place and then maybe do some rituals or something like that.”

Many parts here are vague and omitted, such as how to use the box and what it is used for. After all, Gu Xun still doesn't know, but overall it is quite complete and harmless.

"Is that so, senior?" After summarizing, Gu Xun asked Bei Mingzi for advice.

"I can't give you a positive or negative answer because I don't know the truth, but one thing is that the box of the Seven Kings' Royal Family may not be as important as you think." Bei Mingzi did not give an answer. But it raised a doubt.

"...Senior, please explain a little more clearly." Gu Xun was too lazy to think about the deeper meaning and chose to ask Bei Mingzi directly.

"I still can't give you a definite answer. This is just a guess I made based on the Yin Yang family's actions over the years."

"Why is there such a speculation?" Gu Xun asked puzzled.

"Because Donghuang Taiyi has not been so... obsessed with these boxes over the years." Bei Mingzi gave an explanation.

Gu Xun wanted to continue asking Bei Mingzi how he could tell, but then he thought that the Taoists must know the Yin Yang family better than him, so he gave up.

"Hmm... Then apart from the box, do you know anything else about it, senior?"

"No, as far as I know, your inference is already very reasonable."

"..."

There was a period of silence next, with Bei Mingzi sipping tea and saying nothing, while Gu Xun's eyes were dull as he thought about what he should ask next.

"What sects are there that are closely related to Canglong Qisu?" After a moment, Gu Xun put away his thoughts and looked at Bei Mingzi again and asked.

"Ha..." Bei Mingzi smiled slightly again, seeming to praise Gu Xun for asking the question well, "Taoist, Mohist, Confucian, peasant, Yin-Yang, and... strategist."

"Huh?" The first few were still within Gu Xun's expectations, but the last strategist was a bit beyond expectations, "And the Guigu sect?"

"Yeah." Bei Mingzi nodded slightly, "As far as I know, these are the five families. But you have to ask Guiguzi about the specific situation of Guigu, and I don't know anything about it."

Gu Xun rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that he might have been fooled by Gui Guzi last time, but now was not the time to dwell on this. He had to continue asking.
