Chapter 5 – Eight Gates Facing Heaven

"Is this sword the reason for the destruction of Tiann Town?"

Qiu Shuijing's heart trembled as if ti froze in Su Yun's eyes, imprinting the scene of Tiann Town's destruction.

However, the fact was that Su Yun at that ti was just a child living in Tiann Town. He happened to look up and see the sword flying towards him, imprinting the scene in his eyes.

The cost was that his eyes couldn't withstand the sharpness and power of the immortal sword, and he beca blind!

His pupils were compressed to the extre by the strong light, and the imprint of the immortal sword was stuck in his pupils, making him unable to see anything!

This was probably what Mr. Wild Fox called a mishap.

"Mr. Shuijing?" Su Yun hadn't heard Qiu Shuijing's voice for a long ti and asked in confusion.

Qiu Shuijing regained his composure and said, "I'm here."

His voice was trembling, and he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

The legendary Dongtian world really existed!

Doesn't this an that immortal beings who live forever also exist?

His gaze continued to scan, and suddenly he discovered that the Tiann Town below the immortal sword was different from the current Tiann Town.

There were eight pavilions in Tiann Town, each of which was exquisitely decorated and depicted various divine and exotic animals, as if they were spiritual and magical creatures attached to the pavilions.

"Chao Tian Pavilion!"

Qiu Shuijing's eyes twitched, and he compared the position of the eight Chao Tian pavilions and the Tiann archway, and his heartbeat suddenly increased.

"These eight Chao Tian pavilions and Tiann form a unique formation. The masters who settled in Tiann Town have made progress in studying the Tiann Ghost Market. They, they..."

His face changed constantly, and he suddenly cald down and confird his guess: "They did it themselves!"

He finally sorted out the relationship inside.

The emperor of Yuanshuo country sent masters to this place to study the Tiann Ghost Market and try to find out the secret of Tiann Ghost Market in order to satisfy the emperor's desire for immortality.

These masters ca to Tiann Town and lived with the townspeople, including Su Yun's family.

These masters transford Tiann Town, demolished the original houses, imitated the Tiann Ghost Market, and rebuilt Tiann Town.

Their research also made a breakthrough, which was concentrated on the Chao Tian pavilions.

They used their own spiritual and magical powers to bless the pavilions. One night, they finally broke through the portal of another world and connected the two worlds!

However, the subsequent mishap exceeded their expectations.

They tried to enter that world, but encountered resistance from that world. An immortal sword flew out from that world and killed them, killing all the people in Tiann Town.

And the water column that connected the two worlds fell from the sky, causing a tsunami in the North Sea and causing heavy casualties in Tian Shi Yuan. The area within a hundred miles of Tiann Town beca a no-man's land where demons and monsters ran rampant.

It was the strong people of Tiann Town who caused this disaster!

"But why didn't Su Yun die?"

Qiu Shuijing was puzzled. All the masters and people of Tiann Town died, and all the people and animals disappeared, leaving only their spirits.

Why didn't Su Yun, an ordinary child, die in this disaster?

"Perhaps the strong people of Tiann Town felt that they had implicated this innocent child, so they preserved him in the disaster."

Qiu Shuijing thought to himself, "After the disaster in Tiann Town, they took extra care of this child."

This may be an explanation, but it did not satisfy Qiu Shuijing.

There was one more thing that he couldn't figure out. If the masters of Tiann Town were killed by the immortal sword, their spirits should be more easily killed.

The spirit is attached to the body and is more fragile.

Strangely, the spirits of the masters of Tiann Town were preserved, but their bodies disappeared!

It was impossible for all of their bodies to be destroyed while their spirits were preserved.

"This shows that my guess is not entirely correct. There must have been other mishaps that I didn't expect back then."

Qiu Shuijing's eyes flickered, and the mystery of Tiann Town was not completely solved.And there is also the mystery of the disappearance of the Eight-Faced Pagoda that led to another world.

He looked around, the buildings in Tiann Town were still there, even Tiann itself had not been destroyed in the catastrophe, but only the Eight-Faced Pagoda that opened the portal to another world had disappeared.

Who took away the Eight-Faced Pagoda?

"Either it's the emperor of the capital, or soone stole it. Interesting..."

Qiu Shuijing smiled, dispelling his magic, and the projection of the immortal sword returned to Su Yun's eyes.

"You're not really blind, it's just that there's sothing blocking your pupils."

Qiu Shuijing smiled, "As long as we remove the foreign object or make it leave your pupils, your eyes can recover."

Su Yun beca excited, then despondent.

How can he remove the foreign object from his eyes?

For these years, he has been listening to the townspeople and setting up a stall in the market, hoping that soone will be interested in his "treasures" and cure his eyes. But obviously, his "treasures" are not real treasures, and no one has ever been interested.

"I can't co up with that much money..." Su Yun stamred.

Qiu Shuijing laughed, "I didn't say I would cure your eyes."

Su Yun lowered his head and pursed his lips.

He was a stubborn young man who didn't like to ask for help.

Qiu Shuijing smiled, "I'm just teaching you how to treat your eyes. It's up to you to cure them, and it has nothing to do with . Do you still need to pay yourself to treat your own eyes?"

Su Yun looked up in surprise.

"But I'm not a teacher in the official school, I'm a private tutor in the private school who gives lessons to wealthy young n."

Qiu Shuijing smiled, "So, I still have to charge you tuition. Give a five-zhu coin, and I'll teach you."

The five-zhu coin was the smallest coin in Yuanshuo country, weighing five zhu, hence the na.

Su Yun's face turned red as he fumbled in his sleeve for a while, but he still didn't take it out.

Qiu Shuijing was puzzled, "Don't you even have a five-zhu coin?"

Su Yun nodded in sha and said hastily, "Master, what about my treasures..."

Qiu Shuijing was speechless.

Su Yun's "treasures" were actually burial objects for the poor, worthless.

Qiu Shuijing was a person with a strange temperant and his own principles. He always believed that knowledge had a price, and he could teach Su Yun how to cure his "eye disease," but Su Yun must pay, he couldn't give it away for free.

Of course, what he taught Su Yun was worth far more than a five-zhu coin. The reason why he insisted on collecting a coin was because of his principles.

It was also because of this temperant that he couldn't get along in the capital and had to resign and leave that place of right and wrong.

"Wait a mont, Master."

Su Yun hurriedly said, "I'll go to Mr. Ye Hu to borrow a coin."

Qiu Shuijing laughed out loud, and his laughter dispelled the gloom in Tiann Town, letting the sunlight shine down, just shining on Su Yun's mansion, "I'll go with you, and teach you, then I'll go back to the northwest."

Su Yun led the way, and Qiu Shuijing saw the Huang Zhong erge again, rotating continuously to keep ti. His heart stirred, "Su Yun, how did you survive?"

Su Yun was slightly startled.

Qiu Shuijing said, "What I an is, what happened after you lost your sight?"

The young man continued on, walking out of Tiann Town, "I don't know what happened. I just rember that I fell asleep and when I woke up, I found myself locked in a small room. I knocked hard and Uncle Cen opened the door and let out."

"Uncle Cen?"

"He lives next to my house under the crooked-necked willow."

Su Yun pointed, and Qiu Shuijing saw the crooked-necked willow, there was no one or house underneath, only a deserted grave.

"Uncle Cen lives next to my house, he's a strange person who doesn't like to talk to people. He told that my house was destroyed and asked to move to town. So I moved to town, and the uncles in town took good care of ..."

Qiu Shuijing listened until here, looking around, "Where was your original house?"Su Yun pointed his finger, and Qiu Shuijing followed his direction, only to see a small tomb and a small coffin that had already rotted and decayed.

Qiu Shuijing fell silent.

When he was six or seven years old, the boy was mistakenly thought to be dead and buried in a coffin while unconscious.

After waking up, he should have knocked on the coffin at night, disturbing the spirit of a crooked-necked tree under a nearby grave, which was "Cen Bo".

Cen Bo saved him from the coffin and pointed him to live in the town.

Su Yun was blind and had no idea that the person talking to him was not human, and he had no idea that he was the only living person in the remote town of Tiann.

Ho Pig: Seeking recomndations, not "next ti" or "next ti for sure", but this ti.
