Chapter 25: Liu Feiyang
Zhang Ning thought to himself, that sleek old man's name is Liu Feiyang? This name is really apt! Could it be that incarnating into catkins is a kind of escape technique?
Who knew that Qing Xuan Zhenren's next sentence immediately made Zhang Ning sick to his stomach and almost couldn't help himself.
Qing Xuan Zhenren sighed and said sadly: "Uncle Liu is proficient in wood-based mystical spells, and when he dies, he will turn into catkins and return his spiritual power to heaven and earth. β
Qing Xuan Zhenren stretched out his palm, and there was a broken crimson life card in his palm, and he said with a sigh: "Uncle Liu entered the space-time rift and disappeared for a hundred years. He turned to Zhang Ning: "What did Uncle Liu say, what did he leave behind?"
Zhang Ning's face turned pale, and he swallowed his head with a feeling of disgust.
The head of the sect and the two elders both felt that although Zhang Ning was young and stubborn, his loyalty to the Qingxu faction was still nothing to sayβhe was so sad about the fall of a Taishang elder he had only seen once, which showed that he was quite filial.
At this time, Zhang Ning was thinking in his heart, did the "catkins" in his mouth just now really spit out, and he must rinse his mouth again after they left.
Qing Xuan Zhenren saw that Zhang Ning did not show anything abnormal, so he believed him.
After all, Qing Xuan Zhenren is not ignorant of the space-time rift - spiritual objects such as magic weapons and magic weapons will instantly fail when they enter it, and without the protection of power, they will immediately disintegrate and pulverize, let alone mortal things.
A hundred years ago, when the space-time cracks appeared frequently, there was a Jindan monk who wanted to use a magic weapon that connected his eyes to explore the secret of the space crack, but as a result, not only the magic weapon was torn instantly, but even his eyes were abolished on the spot, if it wasn't for his desperate injury and cutting off the mental connection with the magic weapon in time, his head might have been shattered. After that, the monk went into hiding and healed, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The Niankong Cliff of their Qingxu Sect has not always been so desolate, this is the place where Liu Feiyang entered the space-time rift back then, and after the space-time rift disappeared, it became like this. Therefore, without exception, the disciples of the sect who make mistakes will be punished here to meditate on the wall for seven days. In fact, asking the disciple to repent is just the surface, and the deep purpose is to reproduce the situation when Liu Feiyang disappeared, hoping to trigger the appearance of a space-time rift again. Therefore, there has always been a peripheral hidden formation to monitor here, and as long as there is a spatial crack, Qingxuan Zhenren will know it immediately. And Liu Feiyang's life card has always been kept in the hands of Qing Xuan Zhenren, this time, as soon as the formation that monitored the space-time rift called the police, Song Shuqing, who was responsible for collecting the feedback information of the magic circle, notified the head with a messenger, and Qing Xuan Zhenren immediately found that Liu Feiyang's life card, which had been dull before, was broken. All of this happened almost at the same time, therefore, Qing Xuan Zhenren believed that Liu Feiyang had no time to say anything or give away, not to mention that the nature of the space-time rift was that it could not be put into a magic weapon, let alone a mortal thing. Although the Psychic Xuanbao is a special case, just now Qingxuan Zhenren has already scanned Zhang Ning with his divine sense, and he has not found any hidden things.
This is a preconceived mode of thinking, because Qingxuan Zhenren has not entered the rift of time and space, and all assumptions are speculations based on known information. What he didn't know was that at the moment when the space-time rift formed and disappeared, there would be about ten breaths of space-time distortion, that is, time delay and spatial dislocation, and this space-time distortion would only be known to those who had really entered the space-time rift. Therefore, this time is enough for Zhang Ning to make some small moves.
Qing Xuan Zhenren exchanged thoughts with the two elders for a while, and said, "Since Shuqing and Zhang Ning both know something, I will tell the two of you what happened back then, so as to prevent you from guessing with half of your knowledge, and even accidentally leaking the news, endangering the safety of the sect." β
Qingxuan Zhenren paused for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Hundreds of years ago, Liu Feiyang, the junior disciple of our Qingxu Sect Patriarch, advanced to the Yuan Infant Stage, and was amazingly talented, and it was very likely that he would become the next leader. At this time, a mysterious space-time crack suddenly appeared in the Five Domains, and the top monks of various sects and families, the two scattered cultivators of the righteous and demonic realms, explored one after another, some monks never returned, some monks made some gains, and even a few people brought out the psychic treasure from it. And our Elder Liu Feiyang Taishang is one of them, he brought out a psychic treasure, but on the way back to the sect, he was attacked by the Demon Dao Evil Cultivator Qiu Qiancun, and was seriously injured......
Zhang Ning has been distracted since he heard the name Qiu Qiancun, the servant woman of the Divine Tomb, Grandma Sun?
As if the following words were a little difficult to speak, Qingxuan Zhenren paused for a while before continuing: "I don't know what evil method the Divine Tomb Sect used, Elder Liu Feiyang Taishang was crazy and infatuated with the Sun Clan, not only vainly trying to use the Psychic Xuanbao as a dowry, but also announcing to the world that he wanted to enter the Divine Tomb Sect, making the Qingxu Sect a laughing stock in the world." After the ancestor came out, he persuaded him to return and punished him for thinking about the empty cliff for seven days. Who knew that three days later, a space-time crack suddenly appeared in the Niankong Cliff, and Liu Shibo entered it, and there was no news for a hundred years after that, until it reappeared today, and then ...... Fall. β
Qing Xuan Zhenren sighed, paused for a while, as if to let the two of them digest the huge amount of information they heard, and finally continued: "You two already know the ins and outs of the matter, so you must keep it secret for the sect. Otherwise, the hostile sect with ill intentions will know that the Taishang Elder Liu Feiyang of our sect has fallen, and I am afraid that the sect will be in danger of being wiped out. β
Zhang Ning and Song Shuqing both received the order and said yes.
Qingxuan Zhenren continued to instruct: "From now on, Niankong Cliff is listed as a forbidden area for the sect, Zhang Ning, you go back to your bamboo house, and tomorrow you will start to receive the sect task to repay the spars...... If the task of the Refining Hall is not enough to be repaid, you can also go to Elder Wu to receive the Outer Gate Mission. β
Zhang Ning gave up his hand, and slandered in his heart, it turned out that the real person in charge also knew that the task of the refining hall could not pay off the debt at all!
The four heads of the family stayed at Niankong Cliff and continued to look for any clues left, while Zhang Ning returned directly to his bamboo house.
