"This mountain is not on the map. Only a stick of incense in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet can be used to guide the way."

"I also know this method, but this is my first time here."

"..."

"Then you follow me."

Hu Ma took Xiao Hongtang off her left shoulder and held her hand.

Xiao Hongtang has always been very vigilant, but now she is relieved to see that she is not going to the big black house in her memory.

Following Hu Ma, he walked slowly up the mountain, along a moss-covered stone path, and slowly walked up the mountain. He saw that the mountain was so quiet that he didn't even hear the chirping of birds.

I thought I was going to go straight up the mountain, but unexpectedly, I only reached the mountainside and saw a row of dilapidated stone houses and a rocky slope covered with weeds. Hu Ma stopped and saw the Imperial Master on the rocky slope.

Do it to yourself and kowtow to the incense table.

With his way of doing things, he might have known that Hu Ma had come over while he was still at the foot of the mountain.

But now he is extremely respectful, kowtows to the incense table in front of him, and offers incense, his movements appear to be meticulous.

This extremely simple and common scene among the people made Hu Ma feel a little surprised. The national master was once the chief priest of Daluo Dharma Sect. Even now, he is the most capable person in the world, and it can even be said that there is no one else.

To him, the Lord of Ghosts and Gods worshiped by ordinary people is just like a wisp of evil wind, which can be dispersed when touched. Even the demons, heavens and ghosts are nothing more than objects that can be calculated and used by him.

But now, he holds ten sticks of incense and kowtows. What is he worshiping?

What is there that deserves such respect from people like him?

Although he was puzzled, he followed the rules and didn't speak when he was offering incense. He just waited quietly on the slope.

After finishing the ten sticks of incense, the Imperial Master slowly turned around and walked towards Hu Ma. He glanced at Xiao Hongtang who was following Hu Ma, and then he walked away first.

Both of them were silent and walked along the stone steps for a while. The Imperial Master suddenly said to Hu Ma calmly: "You think it's strange?"

Hu Ma nodded and said calmly: "When you went to Beijing, you only burned one stick of incense, and when you left, you left that stick of incense to me."

"The origin of Dalo Dharma teaching is to burn only one stick of incense, which is the incense stick for observing the world."

The Imperial Master spoke calmly and said: "But I no longer belong to Da Luo Dharma, so naturally there are more things that make me awe."

Hu Ma frowned slightly, turned to look at the Imperial Master, and said, "Is there anything in this world that awes you?"

"There are many."

The Imperial Master spoke slowly and said: "The ignorant are fearless. I know many more things than you."

"Does it feel like you're swearing?"

He always gets angry when he is scolded, but because he was the one who won the fight when he went to Beijing, Hu Ma seems to be open-minded and doesn't mind. He just walked with the Imperial Master and said with a smile: "Since I

You should tell me now that you are here."

"I have many questions to ask, and only you can answer them."

"Why are the three realms of Daluo teachings namely observing the world, joining the world, and God?"

"Why was the method created by the great virtuous master originally called Master Dawei, but later it was changed to General Tiangong?"

"What do you mean by the word Tiangong?"

"..."

The Imperial Master listened and did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he suddenly looked at Hu Ma and said, "You want to answer me first. Why are you asking now?"

"As early as when you came to Beijing, you were the chief priest of Daluo Fa Cult. At that time, you didn't even care."

"..."

"Because there's no need for it."

Hu Ma said calmly: "When I saw this road leading to the Luotian Great Sacrifice, I knew that all the ten surnamed Dharma schools would disappear. I have ten pillars of incense and the ability to carry twelve ghost altars and other things of equal level.

After that, enough is enough."

"I only need to collect the seals, weights, books, and fruits from the five towns and change the world. That will be enough to expel Tai Sui. The rest are all burdensome."

"The path of the Hu family is destined to destroy the Dharma, and I cannot become a person who steals the Dharma."

"But now..."

He paused for a moment and then said slowly: "I have a reason."

The Imperial Master could sense the frankness in Hu Ma's words, but he did not answer directly, but his eyes fell.

Seeing Xiao Hongtang next to Hu Ma, she whispered: "I think your Hu family already knows a lot of things."

"Otherwise, why would this kid stay in the Hu family?"

"..."

"My mother-in-law left it to me."

Hu Ma breathed out softly, touched Xiao Hongtang's head, and said: "When I went to Beijing, I also asked her about Xiao Hongtang's origin, and my mother-in-law told me, but as soon as she said it, I listened.

Come out, my mother-in-law doesn’t know the true origin of Xiao Hongtang.”

"To her, Xiao Hongtang is just a little angel she picked up in Shangjing."

Hu Ma looked down and saw that Xiao Hongtang was looking around curiously and was not listening to her words. She was relieved, but she still lowered her voice and used the ghost whispering technique to say to the Imperial Master:

"At that time, my mother-in-law wanted to go to Beijing to persuade my biological mother because she left Laoyin Mountain. However, my mother had already made up her mind, so my mother-in-law did not say anything."

"It was on that trip back to Beijing that I met Xiao Hongtang. At that time, her soul roots had been severed and she could not enter the underworld. It seemed that she had been refined and would not dissipate like ordinary ghosts.

Holding one's own horoscope indicates that there is no one to rely on..."

"Seeing the many scars on her body, my mother-in-law knew that she had suffered a lot."

"Because the Hu family had lost power at that time, and there were many aristocratic families in the capital, there were probably many who had the ability to train this little angel."

"Although my mother-in-law was angry at such an outrageous act, she was unable to find that person, so she had to take her back to Laoyin Mountain, feed her with blood food, and then gradually raise her back. Of course, she also let this person come back.

The little girl has a little habit of being greedy..."

"...This is actually not a problem. Come to think of it, apart from other abilities, I can always afford to support her."

"..."

After saying this, Hu Ma said: "However, it was me who discovered many strange things about Xiao Hongtang afterwards."

"My mother-in-law was too good to her at that time. She didn't need her help in fighting, let alone stealing things."

"There are many abilities that I haven't discovered yet."

"..."

"Maybe I just discovered it but didn't say anything."

The Imperial Master listened to Hu Ma's story and spoke slowly: "Mother-in-law of the Bai family is also a very capable person, but she is too kind-hearted and is destined to not be able to walk too far on the bridge."

"If you say that she doesn't understand the real details of this little angel, I believe it. But if you say that she didn't find anything strange about this little angel, it's impossible. I think she must have discovered it, but she just didn't want to.

Just telling you."

"because……"

He turned to look at Hu Ma and said, "She doesn't want you to mess with those people in the Hades Palace."

"The Palace of Hades..."

When Hu Ma heard these two words, her expression became slightly condensed.

Even in the deathly silent Great Ai Mountain, a cold wind suddenly blew because of these two words.

The coolness penetrates my clothes and reaches my spine.

Xiao Hongtang felt a little scared inexplicably, and leaned a little closer to Hu Ma.

"Do you know that back then, Lao Junmei and Mr. Longjing made sure to kill all the Duyi royal family, leaving no one alive?"

The Imperial Master slowly asked an unexpected question.

Hu Ma was also slightly startled and said: "Isn't it to cut off the fate of Du Yi so that Tai Sui can't continue to invade the human world?"

"That's just one of the reasons."

The Imperial Master slowly said: "Besides, if it was just for this matter, there is no need to bear such a big sin."

"The real reason is because of the Hades Palace..."

When he said these words, there was even a little sarcasm on his face: "Duyi has ruled the world for two hundred years, and there have been eleven emperors."

"They include the founding emperor who first held a sacrifice to invite Tai Sui to strengthen his warriors, and the second emperor who asked me, Da Luo, to teach us about the Wentian Festival and ask about Tai Sui's origins. They are the ten people who have the deepest connection with Tai Sui.

A person is also a person with the highest status."

"Except for the first two, most of the Duyi emperors died early, but as a royal family, even after death, they are different from ordinary people. They enjoy the world's great sacrifices and are honored as Tai Sui guests."

"Have you never thought about whether they are dead or where they are?"

"..."

This sentence suddenly gave Hu Ma countless thoughts.
