Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 162: Registered Disciple (late update)
The third uncle killed Hongzi.

In the lineage of Huang Longzi and Chi Shenzi, there are three branches. One is the lineage of Huang Longzi, which controls the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, also known as the Northern Demon Sect, and is in equal standing with the original Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace.

One is the lineage of Chi Shen Zi, who founded the Huoyun Mansion lineage, one of the eight orthodox religions and one of the top three sword immortal sects in the world.

The last one is the lineage of Uncle Miehongzi. In the early years, Chishenzi, Huanglongzi and Miehongzi had not yet entered Taoism and wandered around the world. Because of their similar sense of righteousness, they became brothers and sisters with different surnames. They were chivalrous and took pleasure in revenge. They were famous knights in the Tang Dynasty and also swordsmen who gave the government a headache.

At that time, Mie Hongzi's real name was Dugu Weiwei. She was a female swordsman who was more ruthless than her two senior brothers. Because of her family background, her swordsmanship was even better than her two brothers.

But there is no way. After all, men are superior to women in this world. In the eyes of people in the martial arts world, although they have the same strength, women are weaker and less reliable than men. If a female swordsman wants to have the same fame as men, she has to be more ruthless and cruel than men.

Then the three of them found the cave of their ancestors and received the inheritance and entered the Dao. The eldest brother Huang Longzi was calm and could endure loneliness the most, but he would not attack unless he did. The second brother Chi Shenzi was a natural talent with a rare talent in sword fighting. Even those disciples of the big sects who were stronger than him would often be defeated by his sword in actual sword fighting.

Therefore, after these two people entered the Tao, they both made rapid progress. After a hundred years, their Gang and Sha became one, and after hundreds of years, they achieved the golden elixir.

Mie Hongzi was a ruthless and cruel person with a sword that roamed the world, but he lacked luck in comparison. In the end, he was beaten to death by an old monster and was seriously injured.

Huang Longzi and Chi Shenzi searched the whole world and finally found a fifth-level demon pill in time for their junior sister to make the pill.

Mie Hongzi achieved enlightenment by combining the fifth-level demon elixir, and the elixir became of medium quality. He later joined the Cangjian Palace, and became the sword-wielding elder of the Cangjian Palace by virtue of his extremely brutal swordsmanship and fiery temperament.

Lu Cheng still remembers the day when Master Huang Longzi took him to see the portrait of his third uncle Mie Hongzi, and then said:

"In the future, when you meet your Third Uncle, no matter what level of cultivation you have, you must treat him as an elder, just like you would treat me."

Of course Lu Cheng responded politely. At that moment, Madam Baoxiang, the master's wife, came in. Master Huang Longzi immediately pointed to cover the portrait of his third uncle Mie Hongzi, and then talked and laughed with the master's wife in a natural manner.

At that time, Lu Cheng guessed in his heart that his master might have had some unclear things with his Third Uncle, otherwise he would not have behaved like this in front of his Master's Wife.

Of course, it was very rude to secretly plot against an elder's past. Lu Cheng didn't think much about it afterwards, but at this moment he was more respectful to his Third Uncle.

"Lu Cheng? Five Elements Sword Lu Cheng, the disciple taught by the eldest and second brothers?"

Mie Hongzi's gaze fell on Lu Cheng, and he vaguely saw the figures of his eldest brother and second brother at the same time.

The gaze that was originally as cold as a sword softened a lot.

"Well, get up. Who's there!?"

The first sentence was said to Lu Cheng, but the second sentence was shouted urgently, with the sharp sword energy spreading out with the figure of the middle-aged female monk as the center.

The twelve female disciples of the Third Uncle Master also reacted immediately, and they all summoned their own flying swords to form a sword formation to resist the enemy. "Don't do it, we are here with Master Lu Cheng, we are all on the same side."

Along with Guo Lingbao's shouting, Situ Hua, Guo Lingbao, Madam Shi, and Shangguan Xue escaped from the shadow of the mountain in the distance.

"How did you four catch up?"

He frowned slightly and said this, then Lu Cheng used his spiritual sense to briefly explain to his third uncle Mie Hongzi what had happened. Although it was impossible to tell him everything, he did not hide anything.

"We still feel that it is safer to act together with Master Lu. Master Lu is a man of noble character and we can trust him."

While Guo Lingbao was still explaining, Situ Hua, one of the four, suddenly rushed out, knelt in the direction of Lu Cheng, took out a jade box, and then said with his head to the ground:
"Situ Hua is willing to be Master Lu's disciple and become a registered disciple. Please accept me as your disciple. I will use these spiritual medicines as a gift. I only ask that you teach me one or two methods. I will be satisfied. I will never ask for more."

Situ Hua's action made Guo Lingbao hold back the rest of his words of explanation, because Situ Hua's behavior was more sincere than any words.

Come to think of it, Situ Hua originally intended to use these elixirs as a stepping stone to join the Dongyang Orthodox Church and study the authentic magic method.

Now I unexpectedly find out that my fellow Daoist Lin Cheng, with whom I have been living these days, is the second most powerful sect in the Demonic Path, a true disciple of the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the world-famous Master Lu Cheng of the Five Elements Sword. Of course, ninety birds in the hand are worth more than a hundred in the forest.

Rather than becoming a disciple of some unknown master of the Dongyang Orthodox Church, it would be better to become a disciple of this Taoist friend Lu Cheng. Even if he could only learn a few sword techniques from him, Situ Hua would be satisfied.

Lu Cheng is no longer an unknown person after he killed three sects with his sword and fell into Dongyang, becoming the sixth-ranked cultivator among this generation of young cultivators.

"You get up"

Lu Cheng frowned slightly. He hadn't even cultivated himself yet, and he also didn't think Situ Hua's qualifications were anything to go by.

However, at this moment, Mie Hongzi said with a smile:
"He is a man of good fortune, and knows how to seize opportunities. Since he is only a registered disciple, you might as well accept him. When you have free time, you can teach him some skills and swordsmanship. If he is willing to work hard, he will achieve something. If he is not willing to work hard, with your status as a registered disciple, he can be kept safe for the rest of his life."

"Okay, I'll take you in then. Get up."

Since Third Uncle Mie Hongzi has already spoken, Lu Cheng cannot possibly speak up and offend Third Uncle Mie Hongzi. Even if Huang Longzi thinks that it is not time for him to accept a disciple yet, he will not say anything more when he hears that it was Mie Hongzi who spoke.

From Mie Hongzi's perspective, she knew that Lu Cheng had led people to rob the Lin family's medicine garden, so the jade boxes of elixir that Situ Hua took out at this time were of great value, and it would not be considered an insult to accept him as a registered disciple for this purpose.

After many years of trials and tribulations, although the female Taoist priest Mie Hongzi still has some edges and corners, she has also learned a lot about hardships. She knows that it is not easy for female cultivators to survive in this world, so she only accepts female disciples with pure hearts into the Cangjian Palace, and she is very protective of them. Whenever there is a conflict between her disciples and the disciples of other elders in the Cangjian Palace, no matter what the situation is, Mie Hongzi will first save face for her disciples, and then analyze the matter behind closed doors. How to beat or punish is her own business, but she does not allow outsiders to say much.

Although it is biased, the intention is also upright.
