"Although the teacher has always emphasized that you can't ask, I can only tell me about the past. There was a slight tremor in the ancestor's voice, and his closed eyes suddenly opened, only to see that the ancestor's eyeballs were bloodshot and his face was full of fatigue.

Zhou Zheng was taken aback by the ancestor's reaction, and hurriedly threw the scroll in his hand aside.

"Don't practice anymore, master, we won't practice this anymore. Zhou Zheng hurriedly shook his hand.

"No, Zheng'er, you listen to the teacher. I know you're curious why I haven't told you what happened in the clan war, but it's all about protecting you, and it's from your point of view. ”

Old Ancestor excitedly pulled Zhou Zheng to sit aside.

"Today, as a teacher, I will tell you my story. ”

"Master... ”

"In your cognition, today's Dayan Dynasty is composed of five families: the Pang family, the Shangguan family, the Ye family, the Su family and the Zhou family, and at the time of the teacher, the Dayan Dynasty was still one of the six major families, of which our Fu family was one of the six families. ”

"The teacher is called Fuzu, and he was the big boss of the Fu family back then. The talents cultivated by the Fu family over the years have been used as the imperial alchemists of the Great Yan Dynasty, and they were also fortunate to enter the imperial city to serve as a teacher back then, and at that time, the main family of the Great Yan Dynasty was the Shangguan family. ”

Old Ancestor picked up the scroll that Zhou Yan had left behind in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and gently patted the dust that was stuck to it.

"Don't you wonder why the teacher is always there for you? ”

"Isn't it because the master is a wind-based soul, just like Yan'er at the Imperial City Diamond Auction. ”

"Not exactly, do you remember the soul power heart method mantra that Zhou Yan personally copied when you were six years old in the Zhou Mansion?"

Zhou Zheng nodded, and took out the parchment from his bag, which was the soul power heart method mantra that Zhou Yan had copied by himself, and for so many years, Zhou Zheng had carried it by his side like a talisman.

"That's the mantra. Ancestor picked up the mantra. "I've been in this parchment for so many years. ”

"What?" Zhou Zheng looked at Old Ancestor in surprise.

"When you were six years old, you started this mantra, and the teacher was awakened with it, and then when you were twelve years old, the teacher thought it was time to meet you and take you as an apprentice. ”

"Why, master, are you sealed in this mantra?"

Zhou Yan did it. Old Ancestor said lightly. "The next thing is what the teacher wants to tell you, but I can't tell you all because considering your current situation. Old Ancestor closed his eyes and began to slowly recall.

"The reason why the Fu family was expelled from the Great Yan Dynasty back then was because the descendants of the Fu family committed a heinous crime and detonated the clan war. Afterwards, as the patriarch of the Great Yan Dynasty, Zhou Yan personally defeated Vengeful En, and at the same time announced that he would expel the Fu family from the Great Yan Dynasty. ”

"And Vengeance is the son of the teacher. Speaking of this, Old Ancestor's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Vengeance ... Does this have anything to do with the fact that you were sealed, master?"

"Qiu En secretly learned forbidden martial arts back then, and caused a series of disasters, among which the teacher was the victim. At that time, in order to stop Qiu En, he had to kill his relatives as a teacher, but after the cultivation of forbidden martial arts, Qiu En, as a teacher, was not his opponent. ”

Old Ancestor shook his head helplessly.

"Soon, I made a sacrifice of grace. ”

"Sacrifice!" Zhou Zheng looked at the ancestor in surprise. "What do you mean, master, that you were killed?"

"That's right, at that time, the division was on the verge of death, but fortunately, Zhou Yan arrived in time and retrieved the soul of the division through methods. ”

"The image you see now is that the teacher used the body of someone else after his death, and sent the teacher's own soul into the body to survive for a short time. ”

"So you've been by my side for so many years, master?"

"That's right, but the time when I disappeared before was because of the dismantling of the remnant sword and the consumption of a lot of soul power, this temporary body couldn't offset that much loss, so I briefly returned to the mantra heart method to recover. Like today's fight against Qing Cang, if it weren't for the help of Zheng'er's body to resist the attrition, it is likely that the teacher would return to the soul state now. ”

"So... The Zhou family and the Fu family had no grievances back then, and our two families were not feuds. Zhou Zheng suddenly realized at this time.

"No, but Qiu En's mistake was too serious, and after consulting his teacher, Zhou Yan decided to expel the Fu family from the Great Yan Dynasty. However, it was not long before the clan war broke out. ”

"What happened in the clan war, master, why did our Zhou family decline in strength since that battle, and was sent to Yunzhou City, the most inconspicuous city in the Zhongzhou Continent?" Zhou Zheng stood up excitedly, waiting for the ancestor's answer with a serious expression.

"Right... Are you sure you want to know?"

Old Ancestor looked at Zhou Zheng and nodded firmly, and he sighed helplessly.

"Zhou Yan was plotted by the other four major families in the clan battle and was seriously injured. ”

"What?" Zhou Zheng looked at the ancestor in disbelief.

"Qiu En's design detonated the contradictions between the five major families and triggered a clan war. At that time, the people of the Fu family launched a war in the imperial city, and the people of the five major families sent troops to suppress it, but because Qiu En's strength was too strong, the five major families had no way to resist the attack of the Fu family for a while. ”

Just at the last moment, Zhou Yan rushed to the imperial city and led the five major families to launch a counterattack, and successfully killed Qiu En and the rest of the Fu family. ”

However, just when everyone thought that the war was over, the people of the four major families took advantage of the fact that Zhou Yan and Qiu En were seriously injured and relaxed their vigilance, and attacked Zhou Yan, with the purpose of overthrowing the Zhou family and establishing a new Great Yan Dynasty. ”

Zhou Zheng's pupils were dilated, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and at this moment, he only felt a wave of anger in his heart, as if he was about to explode at any time. He didn't expect the truth he had been searching for for years to be so absurd.

"Why?" Zhou Zheng shook his head violently. "Why?"

"At that time, after the successful sneak attack of the four major families, Zhou Yan was seriously injured and almost collapsed, but to the surprise of all those present, Qiu En was resurrected with the forbidden martial arts he had learned secretly. When the ancestor said this, his eyes were full of fear.

Among all the people present at that time, only Zhou Yan had the strength to defeat Qiu En, but at this time, Zhou Yan was seriously injured and had no way to compete with Qiu En. In order to save the Great Yan Dynasty, save the Imperial City, and save the entire Zhongzhou Continent, Zhou Yan opened the only ninth-level martial art he learned and sealed himself and Qiu En. ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes were empty at this time, and the whole person was like a walking corpse, he didn't move for a long time, just sat quietly on the side.

After successfully sealing Qiu En, Zhou Yan also sacrificed himself as a price. Although they saved the Great Yan Dynasty, the other four major families immediately destroyed all the information about the clan war and deleted all the deeds about Zhou Yan through various opportunities. After losing Zhou Yan, the Zhou family's strength soon plummeted, and the clan status was even about to be expelled from the Great Yan Dynasty. ”

Old Ancestor stretched out his hand and put it on Zhou Zheng's shoulder.

"This is also the reason why the Zhou family has fallen, Zheng'er, and it is also the reason why the teacher wants to tell you now. ”

"Why. Zhou Zheng asked with a sneer.

"For more than 50 years, the Zhou family has suffered enough, and now we can't continue to let the world forget Zhou Yan's exploits, the Zhou family must be saved, and the only one who can save the Zhou family is you!"
