Volume 2: Step by Step Lotus Chapter 39: Fathers' grievances haunt children's hearts
Feng Lian walked on the bustling streets, looking at the empty ethereal ring, thinking about how to fill it again.
After staying in Honglan Pavilion for a long time, all the spars were exhausted. In the end, it was enough to pay all the expenses after the discount of the spiritual materials given by Wei Anfu.
Walking and walking, Feng Lian actually walked to the door of the tavern where he drank with Ji Shenghua last time. After hesitating for a moment, Feng Lian still walked in.
Encountering and separating from Ji Shenghua was like a dream, but it left an indelible impression on him. He was a little reluctant to let her go, and he was even more worried about her physical condition.
He didn't know if his feelings for Ji Shenghua were friendship or family affection, but he was sure that it was definitely not love, because his feelings for her were different from those for Mengjie.
The shopkeeper has excellent eyesight and recognizes the wind and cheapness. Warmly took him to the small private room, and asked why the beautiful young lady didn't come. Let Feng Lian be sad for no reason for a while.
The private room is still the same as before, simple, clean and tidy.
Feng Lian saw a piece of jade slip on the table, as well as the heart of the sky and the sea. scolded Ji Shenghua in his heart, it's too much. Unexpectedly, a grandmaster-level spiritual weapon was discarded on the table like this, and a hundred such restaurants could not match the price of this spiritual weapon.
Feng Lian picked up the jade slip, but he didn't expect that it was left to him by Ji Shenghua.
The night before leaving, Ji Shenghua drank alone here again. She said that if Feng Lian didn't have her in his heart, or forgot her, he would let the heart of Tianhai be silent here and never appear in the world.
Through her words, Feng Lian could feel that the more she drank, the more she got drunk.
In the end, he chattered about not wanting to cultivate and hating the words of being born in a family. also complained that Feng Lian owed her a dance, he watched her dance, but didn't let her see his dance, unfair and so on. Finally, thank him for fighting for her life in the Demon Spirit Phantom Valley and fighting the Phantom Beast.
Then there was a very suppressed cry, and then there was silence.
Feng Lian put down the jade slip and picked up the heart of the sky and the sea. Recalling the scene of that night, I was a little shy, but also a little warm.
He put the heart of the sea on it, and after a while, some of the gloomy mood immediately became empty.
Feng Lian took out the jade slip that introduced Qingzong and read it carefully.
Qingzong, which claims to have been established since ancient times, has a recorded history of nearly a million years since the middle and late Middle Ages.
After dozens of ups and downs, there are more than a dozen of them that almost wiped out the sect, but they can all come back to life.
Qingzong is mainly composed of the Medicine Hall and the Instrument Hall. It can be said that it brings together the world's top alchemists and instrument makers. They almost monopolized the spiritual weapons and elixirs of the entire continent, which was one of the reasons why they were often besieged.
At present, there are more than 100,000 master-level craftsmen and alchemists. There are more than 200,000 grandmaster-level refiners and alchemists. There are dozens of Divine Realm cultivators on the bright side.
Feng Lian thought about it for a while and understood why the current sect master was able to let the Qingzong regain its position as the first sect in the world in less than two thousand years. I also understand why they were able to create a spiritual weapon like Feitian, which has spirituality and can grow.
The position of the sect leader of the Qing Sect is held by the Medicine Hall and the Instrument Hall in turn before the current sect master. The current sect master is both an alchemist and an instrument maker, and more than 3,000 years ago, the rank was already a grandmaster. After that, he did not appear in front of the world again.
At present, Qingzong is managed by the Medicine Hall and the Instrument Hall in turn, and each hall is managed for five hundred years.
Maybe it's because I don't want the sect to be too scattered and let the tragedy of 10,000 years ago reappear. Unlike other sects, Qingzong does not open branches in other places. All spiritual weapons and elixirs are basically directly traded with major families and sects. The rest will be sold by the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Qingzong holds a competition of alchemists and appraisers every hundred years, and invites alchemists and appraisers from all over the world to participate. And to guarantee absolute fairness, the reputation of the tournament has always been good.
It focuses on the content of the rise of Qingzong again this time, and Feng Lian looks similar to what Chu Xi said, but it is more detailed, and he is not in the mood now, so he didn't read it again.
He took out the jade slip that introduced Cangwu Mountain again.
Cangwu Mountain is not only known as the ancient sect, but also known as the ancient inheritance. It is no longer known when it will be established. The fate of Cangwu Mountain is more tragic than that of Qingzong.
Because the lineage of the sect comes at least from ancient times, and there are secret methods on how to prolong life. It has attracted the covetousness of countless high-level cultivators who are about to reach the end of their lifespan. Almost every major change is besieged by a group of old immortals who have no hope of survival, are unwilling to die, and have a frighteningly high rank, and the tragic situation can be imagined.
Feng Lian focuses on the time period when the mother's name appears.
More than 10,000 years ago, her mother Wu Yun appeared in Cangwu Mountain for the first time, and her sister Wu Rui also appeared.
The latest big change in Cangwu Mountain was actually caused by their sisters' rebellion, and Cangwu Mountain's vitality has not yet recovered.
The two sisters, Wu Yun and Wu Rui, have excellent cultivation talents, and they are favored by the mountain lord and cultivated as the heirs of the goddess.
The reason why the two sisters turned against each other was that three thousand years ago, the two sisters were consecrated as gods at the same time. Wu Yun was finally identified as the goddess of Cangwu Mountain, and was given the opportunity to enter the spirit world to obtain inheritance. Wu Yun didn't know why, so she gave this opportunity to Wu Rui and went out to practice by herself.
As a result, Wu Rui entered the spirit realm but was not recognized by the realm soul, not only did he not get the inheritance, but he was also seriously injured and almost fell.
The mountain lord had to urgently recruit Wu Yun to come back to the spirit world to obtain the inheritance. Wu Yun didn't come back, only sent back a piece of jade slip. The content is only known to her master Wu Zhaofang.
Wu Rui felt that her sister was planning to frame her, so she didn't dare to come back to confront her. forced the mountain master to arrest Wu Yun back to Cangwu Mountain. The mountain lord's order was not approved by more than half of the elders. Most of the elders felt that she should be persuaded to come back rather than violently.
But they had no way of knowing Wu Yun's whereabouts. Cangwu Mountain can't do without a goddess, because without the recognition of the realm soul, the Cangwu Mountain Mountain Protection Array cannot be activated. The spiritual realm will also be closed, and Cangwu Mountain can't afford that situation.
In the end, in desperation, the mountain lord could only secretly discharge the elders who supported him to find Wu Yun. It turned out that Wu Yun actually fell in love with a casual cultivator named Fengyan.
The goddess of Cangwu Mountain can't break her body for the rest of her life, she actually dares to marry a man as a Taoist couple, and she is also a casual cultivator.
The anger in the hearts of the elders who captured Wu Yun can be imagined. teamed up to kill Fengyan, but was injured and disabled by Fengyan and Wu Yun.
This matter spread to Cangwu Mountain, so that half of the elders who originally opposed the mountain lord changed to support the mountain lord and pursued Wu Yun together, but the outcome was still the same, the people were not caught, and they themselves suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the mountain lord broke through in the secret realm and got rid of the problem, and he was delirious, and he was not allowed to leave the secret realm, which made it even worse. For this reason, the court of Cangwu Mountain was cold, and the sect was lifeless.
Feng Lian poured a bowl of wine, poured it down, and ate a few more pieces of meat. I took out the jade slip about my mother and sat quietly for a long time to calm myself down completely before I began to read.
That year, a female elder named Wu Zhaofang took in two orphans, the elder sister was six years old and the younger sister was four years old. Wu Zhaofang named them, her sister was Wu Yun, and her sister was Wu Rui.
When Wu Yun was ten years old, he showed an extremely extraordinary cultivation talent, and was favored by the mountain lord and accepted as a disciple. Wu Yun was reluctant to leave her sister, so she begged the mountain master to accept her as an apprentice. The mountain lord doted on Wu Yun and agreed.
Wu Rui also showed her cultivation talent when she was nine years old, and she had to admit that Wu Rui's cultivation talent was even higher than that of her sister, and she was actually a god at the same time as her sister.
But the sisters have very different personalities. My sister is introverted and likes to be quiet, and in her eyes, in addition to her sister, there are only two masters and cultivators.
My sister has a lively and cheerful personality, likes new things, likes to be competitive, and has a strong desire for power.
After the fall of the last goddess, Wu Yun was designated as the new goddess by the mountain owner. Just when Wu Yun was about to enter the Cangwu Mountain Spirit Realm to obtain the inheritance. But Wu Rui found her sister and cried and begged her sister to give her the opportunity to become a goddess.
Wu Yun, who dotes on her sister very much, naturally agreed. In order not to put pressure on his sister, but also to force the mountain lord to agree to his sister to enter the spirit world to obtain inheritance. She chose to leave Cangwu Mountain.
Wu Yun disappeared for nearly a thousand years.
Yu Jian guessed that Wu Yun should have spent nearly a thousand years in a spiritual realm, or left the Shenwu Continent.
It is more likely to leave the Shenwu Continent, because no one will casually allow outsiders to enter their spiritual realm. Of course, with the status of Wu Yun Cangwu Mountain's candidate goddess, it may not be that no sect or family invited her.
Wu Yun, who appeared in front of the world again, had an unknown monk by his side - Fengyan. Feng Yan is a grandmaster-level alchemist and formation master.
After the two of them changed their appearances, they walked from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent, touring the mountains and rivers all the way without any special moves. No one recognized Wu Yun's identity.
It wasn't until they went to Qingzong to watch the competition that an extremely important medicinal recipe hidden in the Qingzong Temple was stolen. In addition, the library was also turned into a mess, but only the prescription of the Soul Calming Pill was lost.
If it weren't for the fact that the Library Pavilion was turned into a mess, Qingzong wouldn't have known that he had lost the medicine recipe.
Qingzong asked the Chamber of Commerce, Honglan Pavilion and others to assist in the investigation, only to learn that the couple were Wu Yun, the goddess of Cangwu Mountain, and Sanxiu Fengyan.
But there was no trace of them.
In the end, it was only under the perseverance of the elders of Cangwu Mountain through the secret method that their traces were discovered again.
After the two defeated the elders of Cangwu Mountain several times and chased them, they got rid of the tracking and disappeared again.
Later, I learned that the problem of Zhihai, a closed disciple of the Lord of Lucheng, was cured by the Soul Calming Pill. After investigation, it was found that Wu Yun and his wife had appeared in Lucheng during that time.
They speculated that the purpose of stealing the medicine spectrum was to find the prescription for the Soul Calming Pill, but there was no record of the Soul Calming Pill in the medicine spectrum, so he went through the entire library of libraries.
Everyone suspected that Feng Yan was the one who stole the Qingzong medicine recipe and the Soul Calming Pill prescription, but they didn't get any evidence.
And no one dared to ask the Lord of Lucheng. The entire area around Lucheng belongs only to the lord of Lucheng. Even the Senate can't interfere, who dares to question him?
Wu Yun and Feng Yan have disappeared for more than 300 years, and the last time they appeared was in a small town 300 miles away from Yongding City, where she and Feng Yan were pursued by tens of thousands of people and fled to the Broken Soul Rim on the banks of the Heishui River.
I don't know if I live or die, because there was no survivor in that war.
And why they were hunted down and killed is even more involved in a big matter.
The introduction of this matter is because Feng Lian is the first customer of the West Continent Branch of Honglan Pavilion, and he was given it free of charge.
A treasure named "Red Ring" suddenly appeared in the Shenwu Continent. It is a fragment of the Heaven and Earth Supreme Treasure "Chaos Spirit Ring".
Legend has it that possessing the Chaos Spirit Ring can peek into the mysteries of the universe and reach the pinnacle of cultivators. Own the entire universe.
Therefore, its appearance immediately attracted a bloody storm. Almost all of the top cultivators in the entire continent went out to search for this piece of fragment called "Red Ring".
Later, a sect called Huazhi Sect got it. Unfortunately, this fragment did not bring them good luck and caused them to be wiped out overnight.
Under the onslaught of countless top powerhouses, the Huazhi Sect became a ruin where not an inch of grass was born. But those strong people didn't get the red ring, they were suspicious of each other, and it was another big battle, with countless casualties.
A few months later, I learned that a group of thieves had taken the treasure. A new round of pursuit began, but the treasure disappeared again.
The thieves were also unlucky, fleeing too hastily to notice that there was also a circle set up by hunters on the outskirts of the forest. Luckily enough to break into a low-level circle trap. After only a few seconds of coma, his body was ransacked.
There are seventy or eighty million hunters in the Dark Forest, and almost every hunter will arrange that kind of low-level, but unavoidable low-level magic circle. It is not lethal, it is just to stun people or spirit beasts for a few seconds.
Whether it's a human or a spirit animal, being unconscious for a few seconds is enough for people to kill you a thousand times. Later, it was found out that the person who set the trap of the magic circle deliberately let them go, leading the strong people to continue to follow them.
Faced with such a large number of hunters, who can inquire one by one?
At that time, in addition to the Wu clan who was cleaning up the portal due to civil strife, and the Shi Sect who was trapped in the sect because of an abnormality in the Great Sect Protector Array. Almost all the sects and families in the Eastern and Western Continents, including the three major empires, sent people to investigate the matter.
It can be said that the emergence of the red ring has caused a sensation on the entire continent. In the process of tracing, there was blood and rain everywhere, and the Senate could not mediate.
Later, it is unknown who discovered the whereabouts of the hunters first. A new round of hunting has begun.
Unexpectedly, the group entered the courtyard of Fengyan and Wu Yun.
Qingzong's loss of the medicine spectrum is still there, and many people think that the gang is in league with Fengyan.
But Honglan Pavilion thinks no, Qingzong's loss of the medicinal spectrum and the loss of Chiyan are not the same method at all, and the means of stealing Chiyan are dozens of grades worse than the means of stealing the medicinal spectrum. If it was rumors who stole Chiyan, it was estimated that Huazhi Sect would not know until several years later.
Another point, with the combat power of their husband and wife, they could kill everyone who tracked down the small courtyard with one blow. They didn't kill it, proving that they didn't steal Chi Yan, and they didn't even know why this group of people broke into their secluded courtyard.
There are more and more people following him, and even if Feng Yan and Wu Yun have thousands of mouths, they can't tell clearly. If you do do it, the killing will be too heavy.
The two could only flee in the direction of Lucheng, but there were more and more people chasing after them, and their level was getting higher and higher, and they had no way to escape.
In the end, he was forced to the Broken Soul Cliff on the bank of the Heishui River, and Feng Yan used the characteristics of the pill's medicinal properties to restrain each other and explode countless pills at the same time. Mixed into the world's first strange poison, poisoned himself and tens of thousands of people tracked down.
Because no one can protect themselves with such poison. Even the rumors of the alchemy master are not good, this is the conclusion given by the Qing Sect and the Poison Sect, as well as the Jiang family, which is famous for their medicine, and no one dares to question it.
It's Wu Yun, it's possible to live. Because he inferred from the rumors, he would not hurt his wife and children, and he must have found a way out for them in advance before releasing the poison.
A few years ago, Qingzong seemed to find out that Wu Yun was hiding in a secret realm. teamed up with the Pizheng Sect, the Dragon Wing Sect and others to open the spatial passage to investigate, but no one survived.
Wu Yun's life and death remain a mystery to this day.
In the end, Honglan Pavilion concluded that if Wu Yun was not dead, there was a sixty percent chance that Chi Yan would be on her.
Seeing this, Feng Lian felt a little ridiculous. How could Chi Yan be on his mother, if he was, he and Meng Ying, and a few masters would not know. When parting, it was impossible for Wu Yun not to tell him, and it might even be handed over to him or Mengjie.
He fell into deep thought, whether he could find his mother or not, he had to settle many previous grievances first. Otherwise the mother is dangerous everywhere.
Strength, I need strength. This is Feng Lian's deepest thought at the moment, the most urgent thing to get.
