　　Ye Qiu’s heart trembled.
　　“What does the monk Kongjian mean by this？”
　　“Is he testing me？”
　　“Or has he already discovered my identity？”
　　Ye Qiu thought of this, hesitated for a moment, and said, “To tell the truth, Master Kongjian, Ye Wushuang is my father.”
　　As soon as his voice fell, Master Du’e appeared behind him and happened to hear this sentence.
What, you, Benefactor Ye, are the son of Ye Wushuang? Master Du’e was shocked all over his face.
　　Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and said, “Because of my father’s reason, I have never told others about my life experience before.”
　　”No wonder I have a feeling of seeing you for the first time, Benefactor Ye. It turns out that you are the descendant of Benefactor Ye Wushuang. Good, good.”
　　Master Kongjian said, “Although I am far away in Dali, I have also heard a little about the turmoil in the capital more than twenty years ago.”
　　”I want to know, where is Benefactor Ye Wushuang now？”
　　Ye Qiu said, “I don’t know where my father is either. After the turmoil more than twenty years ago, my father’s life and death are unknown, and there has been no news so far.”
　　”Oh…”
　　Master Kongjian fell into thought. After a while, he slowly said, “Although I am a monk, I also have some research on physiognomy.”
　　”When Benefactor Ye Wushuang came here that year, I once helped him look at his face.”
　　”Benefactor Ye Wushuang has a prominent head and horns, dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a nose like a rhinoceros. He is a rare and extremely noble appearance. He must soar in the nine heavens and be peerless in the world. He is by no means a short-lived person.”
　　”I think, Benefactor Ye Wushuang should still be alive.”
　　Ye Qiu quickly asked, “Monk, is what you said true？”
　　Empty See Monk put his hands together and said, “Amitabha, a monk does not tell lies.”
　　Suddenly, Ye Qiu was overjoyed in his heart. This was not the first time he had heard others say that Ye Wushuang was still alive.
　　The Long Eyebrow True Man had said similar words.
　　Qian Jinglan also firmly believed that Ye Wushuang was still alive.
　　At this time, hearing the words of Empty See Monk, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but think, if his father was really still alive, then where would he be？
　　Why had there been no news for more than twenty years？
　　Empty See Monk said, “The heroes of the world come from our generation, and once entering the rivers and lakes, the years urge.”
　　In the past hundred years, there have been many capable people in the world, and there are no shortage of those who are famous all over the world and have amazing talents.
　　But there are only four and a half people who can make this poor monk admire.
　　The first one is the old monk Xuyun.
　　The old monk Xuyun spent his life looking for teachers and visiting Taoism, meditating and seeing nature; rejuvenating famous blue ancient temples, advocating the style of farming and meditation; promoting Buddhism and benefiting all beings, and was deeply respected and admired by Buddhists and social people.
　　The second one is the great man who founded the country.
　　The third one is Duke Zhou.
　　The achievements of these two people are well known to the world and need not be said more.
　　The fourth one is your father, Ye Wushuang.
　　Donor Ye Wushuang is the person with the best martial arts talent that I have ever seen. He is like a sharp sword out of its sheath, with an invincible posture.
　　“Of course, Master Ye, your talent is no less than that of your father. The younger generation is awesome.”
　　“As for the remaining half…”
　　Having said this, Monk Kongjian paused for a moment and said, “This person, Master Ye, you know. He is the current head of Longhu Mountain, True Man Changmei.”
　　True　Man　Changmei？
　　Ye Qiu’s face was a little strange.
　　This unreliable old thing, what virtue and ability does he have to actually make a generation of eminent monks admire？
Monk Kongjian said, “Although True Man Changmei is the head of a sect, he has a lively personality and is sincere. His technique of snooping the secrets of heaven is unrivaled in the world and is much more powerful than the poor physiognomy.
　　Ye Qiu really wanted to ask, Monk, are you serious？
　　That old thing is sincere？
　　I’m afraid you haven’t been tricked by him！
　　That’s right. Monk Kongjian is a peerless master. No matter how unreliable True Man Changmei is, he wouldn’t dare to tease Monk Kongjian.
Monk Kongjian added, “Master Ye Wushuang, apart from martial arts, is also proficient in Buddhism.”
I am ashamed of myself.
If I had known earlier that Master Ye was the descendant of Master Ye Wushuang, there would be no need to go through the test and could directly read the sword manual.”
　　What does that mean？
　　The three passes were passed in vain？
　　Ye Qiu was a little depressed.
Monk Kongjian said, “Actually, I set up the three passes with their own purposes.”
　　“The first pass is to open the mountain gate, and the test is cultivation.”
　　“The second level is crossing the mountain of knives, testing the state of mind.”
　　“The third level is to find the only correct Buddha cave among seven hundred and twenty Buddha caves, testing the blessing and good fortune.”
　　“By the way, Du E, how did Donor Ye pass the third level？”
　　This…
　　Master Du E showed embarrassment on his face.
　　Abbot Kongjian said： “Just say it without any scruples.”
　　Only then did Master Du E tell in detail the method by which Ye Qiu found the Buddha cave.
　　After hearing this, Abbot Kongjian laughed heartily and said： “Donor Ye found the correct Buddha cave with just a withered branch. I have to say that Donor Ye has profound blessing and good fortune, and has great fortune on him.”
　　“In that case, I have more confidence in Donor Ye.”
　　Abbot Kongjian said： “Logically speaking, people who have left the secular world should not have greedy thoughts. However, the Six Meridian Divine Sword is the treasure of suppressing the temple in Tianlong Temple. Since its inheritance, no one has been able to understand the complete swordsmanship.”
　　“So, many years ago, I ordered Du E to look for the martial arts prodigy in the world to have a look at the sword manual. I hope that before I pass away, I can see the complete Six Meridian Divine Sword.”
　　“Unfortunately, this wish has never been fulfilled.”
　　“I hope Donor Ye can understand the Six Meridian Divine Sword and let this old monk witness the power of the divine sword.”
　　Ye Qiu immediately said： “Don’t worry, Abbot. I will go all out.”
I have said so much. If I continue, I’m afraid that Benefactor Ye will feel bored. Benefactor Ye, please enter the tower!
　　Abbot Kongjian made a gesture of invitation.
　　“Thank　you,　Abbot.”
　　Ye Qiu stepped into the Enlightenment Tower.
Inside the first floor of the Enlightenment Tower, there was no Bodhisattva enshrined. On the altar table, there were a large number of spirit tablets. These spirit tablets were the Dharma names of the successive eminent monks of Tianlong Temple.
　　On the surrounding walls, candles were lit up.
　　Ye Qiu walked to the front of the altar table, bent his knees and knelt down, and bowed three times to the spirit tablets before getting up.
　　“Amitabha.” Abbot Kongjian said, “The Six Meridian Divine Sword has six swords in total.”
　　“Starting from the second floor of this pagoda, each floor records a sword technique.”
　　“The sword manual is engraved on the wall.”
　　“Abbot and Du E will not accompany Benefactor Ye up. I hope that Benefactor Ye can understand the sword technique as soon as possible and help me fulfill my wish.”
Ye Qiu suddenly said, “Abbot, when I just arrived at Tianlong Temple, I got the news that Long Liu of the Forbidden City has left the customs and is heading straight for Dali. He is coming to seek revenge on me. I…”
　　Before he could finish speaking, Abbot Kongjian said, “Benefactor Ye need not worry. I will not let anyone disturb Benefactor Ye’s understanding of the sword technique.”
　　Ye Qiu added, “I also have two friends…”
　　“Don’t worry, Master Ye. I will ensure the safety of your friends.” said Master Du E.
　　“In that case, thank you, Monk and Master.”
　　Ye Qiu bowed and then stepped upstairs.
　　As soon as he arrived at the second floor of the pagoda, his mobile phone rang.
　　Ye Qiu took out his mobile phone and saw that Diao Chan had sent a text message with only four words.
　　“Long Liu was killed！”
