Destiny is ashes

Chapter 685: The Flow of Fate
"It actually sounds a bit like working on the graves of our master's ancestors, but in fact, this is also the choice of most warriors."

Chen Yinzi thought An Jing was a little worried about the truth of the 'blessed land', so he comforted him: "When a warrior dies, the blessed land can expel the surrounding evil spirits and purify specific spiritual energy, making the area more suitable for the sect's laws. The descendants can also benefit from it and it is easier to awaken their destiny."

"Look at Dachen. Why do you grant officials the 'Heavenly Official Talisman' and then take away their cultivation after they leave? That's all for the purpose of expanding the territory and transforming the world around the core cities."

An Jing certainly didn't shy away from this, the blessed land and cave where fallen warriors sheltered their descendants was called the blessing of ancestors, but he couldn't say things like 'I was just reviewing the nature of my destiny of the Seven Evil Tribulations, and decided to go against the fate arranged by God', so he could only nod.

What broke this atmosphere was the arrival of Master An Jing, Master Xuan Yu Ming Heguang.

"Master, An..."

A somewhat unkempt man in a long robe with a wine flask on his waist came forward. As they were not very familiar with each other, he wanted to call An Jing by his full name, but he felt that it was a bit strange and it would not be nice. An Jing saw that this uncle-master probably didn't care much about the seniority sequence and rarely engaged in such interpersonal communication, so he spoke first: "Hello, uncle-master!"

"Hey, nephew, hello, come here, this is the gift I prepared for you!"

Ming Heguang was overjoyed, and immediately took out another wine pot from his Taixu magic weapon: "This is the 'Thousand Mountains White Jade Wine' that I originally prepared for myself. It has been brewed for eighty-five years. It is made from 7749 kinds of earth elemental spiritual objects. After drinking it, you will have the power to move thousands of mountains. It is comparable to the best Shenzang elixir. The taste is also excellent, mellow and a little sweet!"

"Evil creature, what are you going to give your nephew?"

Chen Yinzi was originally smiling at his uncle and nephew, but he stopped smiling when he saw Ming Heguang take out a wine jug. The old man flew into a rage and rushed forward, trying to snatch the wine jug away: "I didn't care about you because you didn't become a drunkard, but I didn't ask you to force your nephew to drink!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

An Jing, who was standing by, noticed that Chen Yinzi was not in a good mood the moment Ming Heguang took out the wine jug. However, he did not want to feel embarrassed when his uncle gave him a gift, so he stepped out in advance and took the jug of wine: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, my uncle loves wine so much, and he has been patiently brewing the wine for so long, but he gave it to me without hesitation. This shows how much he cares about a junior like me."

"Although we don't have to give others what we want, it is enough to see that Master Uncle has a caring heart. As the ancients said, a gift from an elder should not be refused. How can I refuse this kindness?"

If Ming Heguang or Ming Guangchen said such words, Chen Yinzi would definitely snort and tell these brats to get away and stop talking about some gimmicky theories here. He could listen, but they were not worthy of speaking!

But An Jing was different. Chen Yinzi immediately calmed down his anger, stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, at least He Guang's intentions are fine."

At the same time, he was still sighing in his heart: "As expected of a natural master, he has such sharp observation skills that he can predict my divine manifestation before it happens. He is also so friendly to his teacher. It is really a blessing for my Mingjing Sect!"

Ming Heguang on the side was dissatisfied and he immediately complained: "Grandparents, right? Master, please don't be so obvious!"

Chen Yinzi: "It's obvious, sit down!"

So the three generations of master, uncles and disciples found a place to sit down and have a good discussion.

Ming Heguang naturally couldn't know that An Jing was the destiny, and this was for his own good. However, he also knew that An Jing had obtained the special magical power of the sect, and that An Jing would be considered as the future training of the Mingjing Sect. He immediately sighed: "Then your future will be really tiring. The burden of the nine peaks and thirty-six halls of this sect will all be on you. God knows how heavy it is."

An Jing finally understood why Ming and Guang were called "lazy" by Chen Yinzi, the extremely kind-hearted master - even if the other party had a trace of yearning or even jealousy in their hearts, it was actually within the normal range. But this uncle was different. When he heard about An Jing's treatment, the first thing he thought of was not how good it was, but that An Jing was going to become a weightlifting champion.

What he thought was indeed correct. If nothing unexpected happened, An Jing would really become the weightlifting champion... But An Jing was very strong. He could not only lift the Mingjing Sect, but he would also not mind carrying more weights, such as the entire Beixuanji Continent or the entire Huaixu Realm.

Anyway, An Jing is not obsessed with power, he will capture cattle and horses to work for him.

"Speaking of this."

After talking about the situation in the sect for a while and praising An Jing for the battle in Hongta City, Ming Heguang thought of something and reported to Chen Yinzi, "I found the place where Junior Brother Su Ran passed before he died. A small sect somewhere saw this scene, and I brought all of them here. They are now at the foot of the mountain. Master, do you think you should tell Senior Uncle Biying?"

Biying is Su Ran's master. Chen Yinzi certainly couldn't hide the clues of his true disciple's death from him. "I'll go and inform him. I'll check the situation on the way. There are many traitors in the sect. I'd better get the clues as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."

"As for you, take An Jing around the sect and learn about its structure."

"Hey, that's actually a bit difficult for me."

Ming Heguang subconsciously wanted to take a sip of wine, but was glared back by Chen Yinzi. He didn't care at all: "Master, you also know that I haven't been in the sect for a long time. Most of the time I've been hanging out outside, so I'm not really familiar with it."

"You'd better be unfamiliar with him instead of looking for an excuse to take your nephew out for a drink." Chen Yinzi has no children, so his disciples are his real sons. The second son, Mingguangchen, is sensible and obedient, making him worry-free. He also has a miserable life, so Chen Yinzi is extremely kind and considerate to him most of the time.

But the elders Ming and Guang are different, they are nice people and actually very good people, but they are too casual. For a warrior, it is good to have such a character, but as a master, I can't help but say a few words.

"Yes, Master."

Before Chen Yinzi left, Ming Heguang patted his head and said, "Although it may be a little tricky, maybe I can find you a disciple - I found a very talented little demon spirit in that small sect, which is suitable for the purpose of our Mingjing Sect. It can reflect itself when its spiritual wisdom is just awakened. It is simply a natural Mingjing seed."

"I think there is no difference between humans and demons. They are all born from mothers. We in the Mingjing Sect also have many demons that have transformed into humans. There should be no problem, right?"

"The problem is there isn't one."

Chen Yinzi is not a person who cares about the difference between humans and demons. In other words, as long as the talents are suitable, who cares about demons and humans? The most important things are whether one can fight or cultivate.

He was just a little curious: "Can he reflect himself as soon as he has intelligence? Such a genius, could it be that he was born with a miraculous destiny, and it must be at the level of a celestial star destiny? This is a big deal... An Jing, are you willing to go and take a look?"

Although An Jing is the destiny, and the divine destiny is gradually emerging, the value of the natural destiny is still high enough to be cultivated as a seed of true inheritance. Chen Yinzi and Ming Heguang cannot let it go easily.

And An Jing naturally would not refuse to see this future fellow disciple, the little demon spirit, so they went to the gate of Mingjing Sect together.

The Mingjing Sect acted quickly. The demons and humans from Youfeng Cave had already settled down in a temporary base. Most of them were shocked by the grandeur of the Mingjing Sect's mountain gate, and were even more frightened by the movement of the Haotian Mirror fragments (physics). Now they all stayed obediently in their respective tents and dared not move.

Chen Yinzi did not make a sound and quietly came to the water tank room where the little demon was. Ming Heguang had previously transferred spiritual energy to it, which helped it undergo a transformation. So when it sensed Ming Heguang approaching, it swam towards it affectionately to show its closeness.

"Hey, future disciple, if you show me more, you will be the one reflecting me."

Ming and Guang patted the water tank, and Xiaobei nimbly returned to the water to display his natural abilities.

Suddenly, a Xiao Bei who looked exactly like the real one, just like the reflection in the mirror, also appeared in the water waves.

"Oh."

Even An Jing raised his eyebrows, with the sword pattern on his forehead flashing, not only because Xiao Bei's talent was indeed extraordinary, but also because he saw the other party's fate: "[Mingjing Zhishui], what a natural seed of the Mingjing Sect!"

This destiny has both the element of [mirror], which meets the needs of Mingjing Sect, and the element of [water], which fits Xiaobei's demon spirit nature. It is also a destiny that focuses on [mind]. It is also very suitable for the [True Spirit Demon Pill] which actually requires extremely high intelligence and mind. It can almost be said to be the most suitable destiny for Xiaobei under the divine destiny.

"Mingjing Shishui?"

Chen Yinzi was originally very satisfied with the talent of this future disciple, but after hearing An Jing reveal the other party's fate, he suddenly turned around and asked in astonishment: "Is it really Mingjing Zhishui?"

Ming Heguang's expression also changed slightly. Although he didn't know why An Jing could see it, this carefree master also became serious and frowned: "Is it really like this? Is he really as calm as a mirror?"

"Indeed."

An Jing noticed the change in their expressions and immediately understood that this fate was somewhat special: "Why, Grandmaster, Uncle, what does this fate mean?"

"No, there is no explanation for the fate itself. Although Mingjing Zhishui is rare, there have been many of them in my Mingjing Sect throughout the generations."

Chen Yinzi took a long breath and then slowly exhaled. He looked at Xiao Bei on the side with a complicated expression: "It's just... a coincidence."

"The true disciple who was hunted down by his sect and died... that is, the True Master Su Ran that your uncle Ming Heguang has been tracking down all the way."

"His fate is [Clear Mirror and Still Water]."
