Chapter 5 Heritage

  "I've been here all along, the bluestone outside Hongzhu Village is my true body, and inside it's just a thread of my Daoist thought. I've been here for a very, very long time, so long that I don't even remember how much time has passed. All I know is that I'm searching for someone my master wants to find." (The Evil King's Consort: The Reborn Miss of the Abandoned Family)

  "Back then, the master sent me here to find a suitable person to inherit the skills of this place. It's just that over the countless years, it's been very difficult to find someone who is completely suitable. Hehe, now that you're here, not bad, not bad."

  "Wait," Ji Cheng hastily called out to Qing Shi, "What is a suitable person, and what does it mean to inherit the Sister Flower's personal bodyguard?"

  "Heh heh, little guy, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly." Then, along with the old voice of Qing Shi, everything gradually became clear.

  Originally, Qing Shi was not a person of this world. They called this place Earth. About 600,000 years ago, the master of Qing Shi brought it to Earth and made it find a qualified successor for these skills within a million years. (Bai Lu Academy) to prepare for future disasters.

  The person who inherits the Gong Fa must first be honest and kind-hearted, not too old, and most importantly, they must enter the Red Bamboo Forest and come here. If not, even if an honest and kind-hearted person is found, but they do not enter the Red Bamboo Forest, it will still be useless. Even if they enter later, but are already old, it will also not work.

  So for tens of thousands of years, Qing Shi's task could not be completed. If it weren't for being forced in here by Wei Xian and those guys, Si Cheng might have never entered the Red Bamboo Forest like his grandfather and father, for his entire life.

  After understanding the whole process, Si Cheng fell into deep thought. Although he understood some things, many places were still very strange. What kind of existence was the master of the green stone? They weren't people from this world, so how could they come here? What kind of kung fu did they inherit? And what about that inexplicable disaster, what exactly was it?

  "How's your consideration going, young man." The old voice sounded again about a minute later.

  "Qing Shi, what kind of kung fu did you inherit? Is it related to your master?"

  According to the master, this technique is not what he has been practicing, but it is also a very powerful technique. After learning it, one can ascend to heaven and descend into the earth, and there's nothing that can't be done. Compared to the techniques practiced in Red Bamboo Village, it's stronger by countless millions of times." The Green Stone Emperor pondered for a moment, as if recalling ancient memories.

  Sī Chéng was also shocked after hearing, able to ascend to heaven and descend into the earth, and it's a million times more powerful than "Forging Muscle and Bone Technique". It's indeed an extremely fierce technique. "Alright, I'm willing to learn, but I haven't been home for a whole day, can I go back home first before coming back to learn the technique?" Sī Chéng said after thinking for a while.

  "Heh heh, that's not possible. Once you leave, you'll never have the chance to come back again. The three paths you saw earlier, one leads here, one leads to infinite space, and one is indeed the exit path, but I've sealed it off. Only after learning the skills and obtaining the inheritance can you leave safely."

  "Where are all the people who used to come into our village? Can I take them away?"

  "They were all sealed by me in a separate space. This time it won't work, you're still too weak. Next time when you become stronger, come back and you can take them away."

  "You'd better think it over carefully." Qing Shi's voice sounded again, and then the entire grand hall slowly fell silent.

  This is a rare opportunity to get stronger, can't let it go easily, but Dad and Mom won't see me and will worry. Si Cheng was struggling strongly in his heart, on the one hand, he could make himself stronger and couldn't give up, on the other hand, there were his parents and family members, and he didn't want to make them worry, it's really a dilemma.

  It took a whole incense stick, the quiet grand hall still didn't have a single sound, perhaps the green stone gave him enough time to consider. Si Cheng gritted his teeth, "I'll do it, now learn the skills, use the fastest speed to master them, and I can go home, when they know I've become stronger they will definitely be happy for me."

  He then faced the empty grand hall and said, "I've made up my mind, I'll start learning now."

  But what Si Cheng didn't know was that if he chose to give up, Qing Shi would ruthlessly seal and imprison him, and then he would never be able to leave again.

  "Your choice is correct, haha! You go inside, the room in the middle is where you will practice your skills in the future, all the techniques are inside."

  "Uh, just, Qing Shi senior, is there anything to eat? I'm a bit hungry." Si Cheng scratched his head and said with embarrassment.

  "Haha, I almost forgot, it's been tens of thousands of years since I last ate anything. But you can't, or else you'll starve to death and what's the point of practicing your skills? There's food in the room on the left, go eat if you're hungry."

  "Oh," he said, walking towards the middle room. The Peach Blessing True Scripture. Book 9: The Nine Sovereigns' Favorite Concubine, Meng Fei at Thirteen.

  Hongzhucun's official residence, "Liege, is there still no news of Xiaocheng?"

  "Alas, I gathered the best men in the clan to search for him all night, and we almost turned the entire Red Bamboo Village upside down, but still there's no news. This little rabbit, who knows where he's run off to."

  Si Honglie was also helpless, yesterday he was still dealing with family matters, Qu Yun rushed to say that Xiao Cheng had disappeared, inside and outside the house, near the Si residence she had searched everywhere, but couldn't find him. It's worth noting that even if Qu Yun is just a woman, she has at least four layers of strength, not to mention others, going out to find someone is no big deal. After hearing this, he immediately gathered people to go search, without even eating dinner, searching all night, until dawn before dragging his tired body back home.

  "Cheng Er, where are you? Why haven't you come home yet?" Qu Yun had already cried to the point of being speechless. She hadn't slept all night yesterday either. The dinner she cooked last night was still on the table, and she only managed to feed a little bit to Ling Er, but she herself didn't eat a single bite.

  The son is gone, which mother can eat, cried all night, now a pair of eyes are already red and swollen, and the person is also haggard.

  Xie Honglie looked at his beloved wife, who had become so haggard in just one night, and his heart was also in agony. "Yun'er, you haven't slept all night, go rest for a while, the people from our clan are still searching, I'll go take another look."

  "Da Gong Zi" translates to "Big Brother" in English.

  "Director Guo, is there any news?"

  "Your Highness, I'm sorry, we still haven't found Young Master."

  "Alright, you've all worked hard for a night, go rest now." Si Honglie couldn't rush them anymore, if one or two of them collapsed from exhaustion, what would happen next.

  In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the news of Si Cheng's disappearance spread throughout Hongzhu Village. Every single villager was deeply grieved, saying that this young master of the Si family was really not bad at all. Although he practiced slowly, he was always courteous and kind to people, even when facing the most ordinary villagers, he never showed any arrogance. But now he's gone just like that, whoever heard it would involuntarily feel a pang of sorrow.

  "Big brother," Shi Guang hurriedly ran in from outside.

  "Ji Guang, is there news?"

  "Your Excellency, these past few days I've been searching for Young Master's whereabouts and also discovered some suspicious circumstances."

  "Oh? Come on!"

  "These past few days, I've noticed that the Wei, Li and Liu families seem to have quieted down a lot. It's now very rare to see people from these three families outside. This is completely different from their usual style." Si Guang recounted all the suspicious things he had discovered over the past few days.

  Could it be that you three families are really involved? If it's really you who did this, I will never let you off. "Ji Guang, gather the men and follow me to the Wei family."

  These days, Si Cheng has been working hard to cultivate himself. When he walked into the practice room that day, he also jumped down. Dizzy, what is this room? It's better to call it a stone chamber, the space is not big, and most importantly, there is no bed for Si Cheng to sleep in, how can he sleep?

  The entire stone room was empty, with a large cushion in the middle. It's called big because even if Xie Cheng sat down now, there would still be plenty of space left. Against one side wall was a table, on which were placed some things - to be exact, several books, and nothing else.

  He walked to the table, picked up one of the "Purple Heaven Secret Books", although Si Cheng was only twelve years old, as the eldest grandson of the Si family, he had started reading and writing from the age of five, and in seven years, he could basically recognize all the characters.

  "Zi Tian Zi Tian, it's still a secret recipe, sounds pretty awesome." Si Cheng thought to himself with excitement.

  "Hmm, what are these? The 'Shen Ze Qiu Dao Jing', there are six volumes in total."

  At this time, Zhai Cheng's heart was overjoyed. The "Purple Heaven Secret Book" and the "Divine Zeal Seeking Tao Scripture", not to mention there were six volumes, just one glance would reveal how powerful they should be.
