Chapter 19: Analysis
The night is dark and the wind is high, in the vast jungle, fierce beasts are infested, lone wolves bark at the moon, all kinds of reptiles and birds go out to forage for food, and the night is the best period for countless creatures to carry out activities.
The bright moon hung high, sprinkling a little silver light, in the middle of a ruined cliff, a ball of fire glittered in the broken wall, this was a huge hole, Fang Yun They lit a bonfire in it, roasted rhinoceros beef, and had a long talk.
"We roast meat like this in this cave, and even if the smell is wafting for thousands of miles, we don't have to worry about provoking fierce beasts. Murong Li said happily, flipping the roasted rhinoceros legs, the fragrant juice overflowed, and the dripping bonfire made a crispy sound.
Yue Xiang'er had a smug face, "That's, don't look at who found this hole." ”
"This cave is supposed to have been left by the birds, and you see, there seems to be a trace of claws left on the walls. Fang Yun observed, stretched out his hand to the wall, and said.
The two looked over, Murong Li frowned and said worriedly: "If there are really some bird houses, and we occupy their homes, then they will definitely attack us, ordinary birds are fine, if they have intelligent beings, I am afraid it will be troublesome." ”
Yue Xiang'er disagreed, "Coward, if there were really living creatures to live in, they would have done it to us a long time ago, there is not even a single hair here, how can there be any living beings." ”
Fang Yun nodded and said: "Yes, if there really is, we wouldn't occupy its lair so easily, not to mention, it can be seen from the paw prints on the wall that it was left a long time ago, and there is not even a single hair in this cave, which means that the previous owner has already moved." ”
Hearing Fang Yun's speculation, Murong Li breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could completely settle down, Fang Yun said again: "Although we avoided the land beasts, we also had to watch out for other flying birds, so we had to take turns keeping vigil at night. ”
At night, birds and beasts were infested, and even if Fang Yun and them spent the night in the cliff, they had to beware of other birds entering this cave.
"Hey, what's the matter, okay? I'm dying of hunger. Yue Xiang'er had an expression of fear that the world would not be chaotic, so frightened that Murong Li was scalded, which made her giggle, Murong Li woke up in shock, and quickly pulled out a dagger to cut the big meat that was roasted into gold.
The fragrance was fragrant, which made people have a great appetite, and suddenly Yue Xiang'er was stunned, Fang Yun's stomach also screamed, and the three of them devoured it.
"Hmm~ It's delicious, it's so big, it's the first time I've eaten the meat of a big rhinoceros, I didn't expect it to be so delicious. Yue Xiang'er ate a mouth full of oil, without a trace of ladylike demeanor, as if she was a greedy little wild cat.
"It is said that the flesh of the primeval relics of the creatures has an unparalleled energy, and people will get great benefits if they eat it, if the blood is pure, and they can even comprehend all the laws of the creatures before their death, the flesh and blood of these ordinary creatures can quickly replenish their physical energy and yuan power at most. Fang Yundao.
Murong Li said while eating, "Having said that, but in this world, how many people have really eaten the flesh and blood of the primeval relics? ”
The primeval relics, is the descendants of the great power of the ancient era, at that time, the primeval beast is a civilization beyond the human race, because of the outbreak of the ancient war, and encountered the battle of the immortals, the war of the gods, and so on, the ancient beasts of various noble bloodlines have fallen, leaving the only remaining primeval relics, the human era dominated the rise of the continent...
Although the primeval beasts do not have the lofty status of the past, they are still many powerful beast clans that dominate the side today, and anyone who fights the idea of the primeval relics will be killed.
"Although the primeval beast has lost its former glory, in this continent, there is still a lot of power, even if it is the princes of the shock side, they dare not provoke it easily. ”
The primeval beasts have extremely high wisdom and noble bloodlines, they would rather die in battle and be wiped out than be used as food for humans, which is a shame, if anyone eats the primeval relics, all the creatures of the primeval beasts will be with him immortal.
"I heard that three years ago, Wu Jiang hunted and killed an ancient fierce beast cub outside the mountains, this incident alarmed the entire Nangong Gate at that time, but unfortunately it was already dead when it was brought back, if it can be raised and grown, it will definitely become the guardian saint of my sect. Murong Li said.
Yue Xiang'er sneered, "Cut, it's not an ancient relic with a noble bloodline, let alone a cub with a pure bloodline, isn't it just a bear? ”
"Wu Jiang dared to enter the deep mountains three years ago?" Fang Yun became interested in Wu Jiang and asked.
"Back then, it was already in the late stage of the Innate Spirit Vein Realm, and since he was a child, he was gifted, and with a few disciples, he was able to hunt fierce beasts inside, and what was even more unexpected was that since he dared to kill the primeval relics. ”
Hearing about Wu Jiang's brilliant deeds, Fang Yun's face also nodded with a slightly solemn face, "Well, it's really amazing, it seems that this is an opponent worth looking forward to." ”
Hearing this, Murong Li changed color, "This Wu Jiang is the son of Elder Wu Ming, not to mention that the Wu family is a big family in Yangzhou, although it is not as good as the three major families, but it is still not to be underestimated, although you are a disciple of Elder Lian, but compared with it, there is still a big gap." ”
"Hey, Murong Li, who are you? How can you say this kind of thing that will destroy your prestige, now I am starting to blame you for whether you are an undercover agent sent by Yang Bai. Yue Xiang'er's pretty face changed, and she said dissatisfied.
Murong Li hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, no... I didn't mean that, what I said was just the truth, although Brother Fang was not weak, after all, Wu Jiang had already stepped into the inner disciple of the Imperial Sky Realm, and it was not a wise move to have a head-on conflict with him now. ”
"Do you mean to say that Brother Fang Yun is not as good as Wu Jiang? You white-eyed wolf, no wonder you betrayed Yang Bai and joined us in the first place, presumably after Wu Jiang came back, I really don't want you to rebel, you guy who sees the wind and rudder. Yue Xiang'er was dissatisfied.
Murong Li was a little anxious, how could he depict it darker and darker, and accidentally saying the wrong thing caused Yue Xiang'er to be suspicious, which made him a little overwhelmed.
Fang Yun waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, don't embarrass him, from the analysis of objective facts, Murong Li's words are not unreasonable, but one thing is that no matter how prominent Wu Jiang's background is and how huge his power is, it is inevitable to be an enemy of him." ”
"A villain like Yang Bai will inevitably add oil and vinegar in front of him, even if I intend to back down, Wu Jiang will not let me go. ”
Yue Xiang'er raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "He dares? Our Yue family is not a vegetarian, don't worry, if the people of the Wu family dare to do anything to you, I will definitely not let him go." ”
"Don't forget that your Yue family and the Wu family have a marriage contract, with the current situation, do you still expect the door master to stand on Fang Yun's side?" Murong Li still couldn't help but interject, and finally provoked Yue Xiang'er's fierce gaze, and immediately shut up and ate meat silently.
"I won't marry that bastard in Wu Jiang no matter what. Yue Xiang'er said angrily.
"Judging from the current situation of Nangongmen, the power of the Dragon Slayer Palace continues to expand rapidly, and the pressure caused to us over the years is obvious to all, although the Nangong Gate is the gate faction in Yangzhou and is also prosperous, but the prosperity will decline, our Nangong Gate is isolated, and in the long run, our Nangong Gate will be replaced by the Dragon Slaying Palace. Fang Yun said slowly.
"How to say that Nangongmen in Yangzhou is also a hundred thousand years of inheritance of the gate faction, now the continuous decline of Nangong Gate, no matter who sits on this master, do not want this inheritance of a hundred years of sect to be destroyed in his hands, the Wu family in Yangzhou has some great power, plus the status of the Wu family in Yangzhou, and the Yue family, that is definitely a big force, although this can not completely suppress the Dragon Slayer Palace, but at least it can alleviate the current crisis, take advantage of this to cultivate a group of core disciples, prepare for future battles. ”
Murong Li still couldn't help but add: "As we all know, with the current situation of Nangong Gate, the master of the Yue Gate is also a last resort to marry the Wu family, it's not good, I'm afraid that the position of the master of the door will also be given to Xian." ”。
Yue Xiang'er has always been cheerful and innocent on weekdays, but after all, he is still young, and he can't detect all kinds of phenomena in the sect at all, and now listening to Fang Yun's analysis, he didn't think that there was such a big crisis in the Nangong Gate, no wonder the Dragon Slaying Palace has been so rampant and repeatedly provoked over the years.
After listening to their words, Yue Xiang'er's pretty face became more and more pale, she has always been playful on weekdays, she doesn't care about things between sects at all, she has always wondered why her father wants to give her home to Wu Jiang, no one in the sect is willing to give her an answer to this matter, even so, she has always been willful and optimistic, she seems to have no care about this matter, because since she was a child, as long as she doesn't want to do something, no one really controls her.
Although she didn't understand why her father was like this, she believed that as long as she was resolute, she would definitely make her father change his mind, but now, she didn't seem to hold this kind of luck anymore, because this matter was related to the safety of the entire sect.
"It turns out... My father married me to Wu Jiang because he took a fancy to the Wu family's power in Yangzhou. It's just a bargaining chip used to win over the Wu family's forces. Yue Xiang'er was disheartened, her father, who had always doted on her since she was a child, actually made such a decision for this kind of thing. "It turns out that in his heart, compared to Nangongmen, how worthless I am, no! To be exact, his daughter's happiness is not as good as his power and status."
Tears appeared in Yue Xiang'er's beautiful eyes, "Mother... If you were still here, you would definitely oppose it vigorously, right?" Yue Xiang'er's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and the fire shone on her aggrieved and lost exquisite face, which was distressing.
Murong Li smashed his tongue, not knowing what words to say to comfort, he immediately turned his gaze to Fang Yun, and then reluctantly silently added firewood.
Fang Yun took a deep breath, she could feel Yue Xiang'er's mood at the moment, and immediately said: "No matter what kind of crisis the sect is facing, as the person in charge of the sect, it should not involve relationships outside the sect, does Nangong Sect really belong to his Yue family?" Fang Yun looked at the heartbroken Yue Xiang'er, in his world, she was still studying at her age, and she was just a minor child, he reached out to wipe the tears on Xiang'er's face, and said: " Regardless of the derivation and destruction of the door, the responsibility does not lie with you, let alone anyone, the prosperity must decline, this truth has remained unchanged since ancient times, and the danger of Nangong Gate is irreparable. ”
"I said, as long as you don't want to do something, I won't let others force your future, even if you are the enemy of the entire sect and the world..."
"Never!"
