I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 883 Old things
Situ Zui still had a smiling face, his eyes narrowed into a line, looking him up and down, but his hands were behind his back, quietly calculating something.

"There's no doubt about it. He's my destined disciple. Even at such a young age, he has a body of incredibly strong muscles and bones, and there's a spiritual light rising from his head. Incredible, incredible!"

His gaze towards Li Tianyun became softer, he nodded with great satisfaction, and then spoke leisurely.

"Boy, don't take this as a joke. You and I do have a master-disciple relationship. Do you know who these people are?"

Situ Zui asked in a pretentiously profound tone. Li Tianyun frowned and thought hard before speaking tentatively.

"Could it be someone from Southern Xinjiang?"

"Hey, that's not wrong, it's just too broad." Situ Zui shook his head slightly.

Li Tianyun touched his head and said, "I also heard from Taoist Wuxin that since they are good at using poisonous insects, they may be from Southern Xinjiang."

Situ Zui glanced at Li Ming again, and Li Ming could only bow and say, "I'm not very good at Taoism, but I'm quite interested in miscellaneous writings, so I know a thing or two about these. Am I right?"

Situ Zui nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, they are from the Lonely Moon Clan in Southern Xinjiang. This clan is said to be the bloodline left behind by the one who founded the Gu Dao. One of their direct descendants is even called the Holy Clan. They are quite powerful in Southern Xinjiang and even control several countries in the mortal world. It is said that the customs there are very different from those in the Central Plains. Those who master the Gu technique are revered as Gu Masters and have a high status there. Many sects have been established that worship Gu insects, and they are from the most powerful of them all, the Moon Worship Cult!"

"Moon Worship Cult?"

The corners of Li Ming's mouth twitched subconsciously. Are Shushan Situ Zui, Li Tianyun, and the Southern Xinjiang Moon Worship Sect going to have a long-haired Moon Worship Sect leader come out in the next second to tell me that the earth is round?

Situ Zui had no idea what Li Ming was thinking, so he continued, "The Moon Worship Sect is considered a side sect, but they practice witchcraft. Their methods are strange and difficult to defend against, especially their leader, Lei Tianyan. He has profound cultivation and unfathomable witchcraft. He is one of the few who can compete with Green Robe."

Li Tianyun was also very curious and asked, "But why did they come all the way here to steal the things my parents left for me?"

Situ Zui just smiled, then stretched out his hand and grabbed a box from the chest of the strongest man among the three. The box flew out and fell into his hand. He handed the box over with a smile and then said.

"First, read the letters your parents left behind, and then I'll explain it to you."

Hearing this, Li Tianyun was quite obedient and took the wooden box carefully. Only now did Li Ming see clearly that the box was made entirely of an unknown wood with a dark color and a precious and solid texture.

Li Tianyun was quite familiar with the process. He opened the box after a few fumbles. Sure enough, there was a letter and a groove inside. It seemed that this was where the bead was placed before.

"Let me see what my parents wrote!" Li Tianyun opened the envelope excitedly. He didn't know what kind of paper the letter in the envelope was made of, but it was still as good as new after so many years. The handwriting was clearly visible. Li Tianyun couldn't help but read it slowly.

"My son, if you can read this letter, you must have grown up. I believe Sanniang must have taken good care of you. I am an unworthy father and cannot be with you because I have many things to do. I have no choice. I hope you can forgive me as a father."

Li Tianyun read very slowly and in a light tone, but he choked up unconsciously. In just over a hundred words, Li Tianyun seemed to have really seen his father standing in front of him, touching his hair.

Then continue reading.

"Your mother and I met the South Sea Immortal by chance. The Immortal has entrusted us with an important mission. For the sake of the people of the world, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Your father just hopes that you can grow up safely."

"What's the difference between having this letter and not having it?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and wondered in his heart.

The letter is very good, don’t write it next time.

Situ Zui also smiled and said, "Child, perhaps you still have many doubts. Let me explain them slowly."

"Back then, a genius emerged in Southern Xinjiang. He devised a unique method for refining Gu. He modified the technique, disguised it as a martial arts manual, and spread it throughout the martial arts world. Practicing this skill required the use of Gu as a guide. Those who practiced it thought they were practicing martial arts, but they didn't know they were actually transforming themselves into Gu worms. He, however, possessed supreme authority over these martial arts manuals and could manipulate the refined Gu worms at any time."

"These secret manuals are all extremely powerful and quick-acting methods. At that time, countless people competed for them and practiced diligently. The martial arts world has always been like this. For fame and fortune, you fight to the death. Otherwise, the cycle of hatred repeats for generations, and there is no peace."

At this point, Situ Zui shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply, "The world is like this. Seeking immortality is so difficult. How many people can truly see through it? Ascending to become an immortal is nothing but a delusion."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. You only know that this incident caused quite a stir back then. That person was indeed a top-notch Gu magician. He used the heavens and the earth as a furnace and all living things as materials, painstakingly researching to refine a legendary Gu God. Those mortals who practiced these secrets were able to sense each other and devour each other, just like the magic of the Gu worm. In the life-and-death battle, a few transcendent materials were finally produced. I just don't know how many people died in the process."

"That person had already succeeded, and used secret techniques to control and refine seven large human Gu. They followed each other in and out, equivalent to seven Nascent Soul cultivators. If they could take another step forward and combine the seven into one, they could peer into the realm of the Primordial Spirit. However, at this point, a South Sea immortal, unwilling to see the suffering of the people, acted treacherous and cruel. He used the lives of sentient beings to refine Gu, which was indeed quite dangerous. That's why he took action. However, the matter involved many people, and the karma of rashly entering the game was too heavy. So he selected a few mortals with unique skills and stole the person's valuable treasure."

"What is this treasure?" Li Tianyun suddenly moved his eyes to Li Ming.

Unexpectedly, Situ Zui laughed heartily at this moment and said, "Although the Mysterious Pearl is good, it can't be called a treasure. The real treasure fell into the hands of the Moon Worship Sect Leader. And that South Sea Immortal also paid a huge price to eliminate him. With no hope of becoming an immortal in this life, he was forced to reincarnate. There were many people like your parents back then. They each divided some of the genius's treasures, and then hid their identities to avoid being hunted by the Moon Worship Sect Leader."
