The Long-Browed True Man was absent-minded for a while.
　　“Why is there a Life and Death Talisman on this kid’s back？”
　　“This　shouldn’t　be！”
　　“What is his background？”
　　Just when the Long-Browed True Man was distracted, Huzi broke free completely and punched the Long-Browed True Man in the stomach.
　　Bang！
　　The Long-Browed True Man flew backwards and fell into the manure pile.
　　“Roar——” Huzi roared and was about to rush over.
　　“Stop！” Ye Qiu shouted in a deep voice, like a thunderclap ringing in the ears.
　　Huzi trembled all over, hesitation appeared in his eyes, and then he rushed towards the Long-Browed True Man again.
　　Ye Qiu quickly stepped forward and pointed a finger at the back of Huzi’s head. Suddenly, Huzi fainted.
　　Ye Qiu held the unconscious Huzi and asked, “Old thing, how are you？”
　　“I’m fine.” The Long-Browed True Man quickly got up from the ground and whispered to Ye Qiu, “Take this child to Old Xiang’s house. There is a secret on him.”
　　Then he said to Lao Xiang again： “Take me back quickly, the poor Taoist wants to take a bath.”
　　The Long-browed True Man came out of the pigsty and saw the onlookers staying away from him one after another. Everyone covered their noses and looked disgusted. He immediately stopped and said with a smile： “Dear villagers, I’m sorry to make you laugh.”
　　The strength of Huzi is very great. The poor Taoist was caught off guard just now, so he was made so embarrassed.
　　By the way, let me introduce myself. The poor Taoist is from Wudang Mountain and is the current head of Wudang Mountain. The Taoist name is Chongxu.
　　Welcome everyone to travel to Wudang Mountain when you are free.
　　Lao Xiang turned his head and glanced at Ye Qiu, as if asking, Director, didn’t you say that the Long-browed True Man is the head of Longhu Mountain? Why did he say that he is the head of Wudang Mountain?
　　Ye Qiu said in a low voice： “The head of Wudang Mountain is a good friend of the old thing. The old thing loves face more, so… you understand？”
　　Lao Xiang suddenly realized： “I understand.”
　　Remember, don’t expose the old thing. He has a thin skin.” Ye Qiu reminded.
　　Lao Xiang smiled and said： “Don’t worry, Director. I will keep the secret.”
　　After the Long-browed True Man finished speaking, he swaggered away.
　　Back at Lao Xiang’s house.
　　The Long-browed True Man went to take a bath, while Ye Qiu was observing the unconscious Huzi, with a pair of eyes staring at Huzi’s back.
　　I saw that in the middle of Huzi’s back shoulder blades, there was a purple pattern, a little larger than a fist, with a total of nine circles, looking like an eye.
　　Inside each circle, there are It’s very dense runes, as if tattooed on, and also like an inborn birthmark.
　　Ye Qiu noticed earlier that it was because the Long-browed True Man saw this pattern that he was distracted and was knocked flying by Huzi.
　　”Lao Xiang, what’s going on？” Ye Qiu pointed to the mysterious pattern and asked.
　　Lao Xiang said, “This has been on Huzi since childhood. When the tiger first brought Huzi to appear in the village, many villagers saw this pattern, and everyone said it was a birthmark.”
　　”As for whether it is really a birthmark or not, I don’t know either.”
“Director, you sit here for a while, I’ll go and call a few fellow villagers to slaughter the pig, and we’ll have a pig-killing meal later.
　　”Okay.” Ye Qiu nodded and agreed.
　　Not long after Lao Xiang left, the Long-browed True Man came out after taking a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and strode to Huzi’s side to observe the pattern on Huzi’s back.
　　”Old thing, is this pattern a birthmark or a tattoo？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　The Long-browed True Man shook his head： “Neither.”
　　Neither？
　　Ye Qiu was stunned and asked, “Then what is it？”
　　”This is the Life and Death Talisman.” The Long-browed True Man said in a deep voice, “The background of this child is probably not simple！”
　　Ye Qiu was even more confused： “What do you mean by that？”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “The Life and Death Talisman is a very mysterious talisman. Rather than saying it is a talisman, it is better to say it is a seal.”
　　”Although Huzi is an orphan and alone, I dare to assert that his origin is not simple.”
　　”Because the person who can draw the Life and Death Talisman is by no means an ordinary person, and his cultivation must be extremely high.”
　　”Since our Dragon and Tiger Mountain established the sect, there have been many highly accomplished people, but only one person can draw the Life and Death Talisman.”
　　Ye Qiu asked, “Could it be Zhang Tianshi？”
　　”That’s right, it’s the Patriarch.” The Long-browed True Man said, “Our Dragon and Tiger Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years, and only the Patriarch can draw the Life and Death Talisman.”
　　Ye Qiu was shocked in his heart and asked again, “What is the function of the Life and Death Talisman？”
　　”Didn’t the poor Taoist just say that the Life and Death Talisman, to put it bluntly, is actually a kind of sealing technique.”
　　The Long-browed True Man pointed to the Life and Death Talisman and said, “Little brat, do you see these nine circles？”
　　Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
The long-browed True Man said, “One circle represents one layer of seal. As long as one layer of seal is removed.” one circle will disappear. When all the seals are removed, the Life and Death Talisman will disappear.
　　”This kind of sealing technique is generally not used on ordinary people.”
　　”The poor Taoist guesses that there must be a huge secret hidden in Huzi.”
　　Ye Qiu said, “Could Huzi’s strange disease be related to the Life and Death Talisman？”
　　”It’s hard to say, maybe it’s possible.” The Long-browed True Man said, “Just now the poor Taoist hadn’t finished speaking. The so-called Life and Death Talisman means that life and death depend on each other.”
　　“One has to endure a life-and-death tribulation to unlock one layer of the seal.”
　　“In other words, for Huzi to completely unlock the seal, he needs to face nine life-and-death tribulations.”
　　The Long-browed True Man then added, “I observed that all of Huzi’s extraordinary meridians have been opened. I have two speculations.”
　　“One, there is a highly skilled person who helped Huzi open his meridians.”
　　“Two, Huzi was born with open meridians.”
　　“But no matter which one it is, it can show that Huzi is an extremely rare martial arts prodigy.”
　　“Little brat, I have an idea？”
　　Ye Qiu’s heart tightened.
　　Could it be that the Long-browed True Man also wants to accept Huzi as his apprentice？
　　Ye Qiu thought about it and felt that perhaps it would be better for Huzi to worship the Long-browed True Man. After all, he had too many things to do and might not be able to train Huzi well. However, the Long-browed True Man had a lot of time and good cultivation. If he cultivated Huzi with all his heart, then Huzi would surely become a pillar of the country in the future.
　　“Old thing, do you want to accept this Huzi as your apprentice？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　“Hmm.” The Long-browed True Man nodded slightly and said, “This kid has an excellent bone structure. If he worships me as his master, his future achievements will not be lower than that of Shui Sheng.”
Perhaps, it won’t be long before he surpasses Shui Sheng and gets on the Divine List.
　　“As long as we have him and Shui Sheng in our Dragon and Tiger Mountain, oh, and add me, as long as the three of us are here, within a hundred years, we will surely restore the glory of Dragon and Tiger Mountain a thousand years ago.”
　　Ye Qiu said, “After Huzi wakes up, you talk to him about it.”
　　The Long-Browed True Man shook his head and said, “There’s no need to say more. Although I really want to take him as my disciple, if he follows me, he is likely to die before he even grows up.”
　　”Little bastard, let this child follow you！”
