V33 The Mother of a Thousand Uniques, Is It Life or Death?
Yunxi thought carefully about the mention of the Zhenhai Patriarch, staying in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, maybe for their family, they would improve in the martial arts, but they still had a lot of responsibilities on them, and they were not allowed to recuperate here.
Not to mention that she promised Xiao Zuo and them to help them rescue the souls of their masters, she was also invited to the Dan League to participate in the alchemy conference, so that the storage of the Dan Academy of Wanhuang Academy became justified and recruited more alchemy talents, and more importantly, she was reluctant to let Xiao Crescent and didn't want to be separated from her for a long time.
After thinking for a while, she turned her head to look at Long Qianjue, he was the head of the family, and she still hoped that he would make the decision on major matters.
If he wants to stay, then she will support him to the end.
Receiving Yunxi's trusting gaze, Long Qianjue's eyes turned watery, and a shallow smile escaped, and he said to the pavilion master: "Pavilion master, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we will live up to your kindness." Xiaomo is still young, his life is still very long, I hope he can grow up with us and enjoy more family warmth and love. Moreover, he can also be sharpened by his side with us. Of course, when Xiaomo is mature enough, if the Pavilion Master still wants to cultivate him, we are very willing to let him learn and sharpen from the Pavilion Master. β
"As for me and Xi'er, we will not enter Xiaoyao Pavilion, because the real strong people grow up in the continuous experience and challenges of life, and people often only find greater breakthroughs and constantly surpass themselves in adversity. Xi'er and I still have a lot to go through together, and we believe that as long as we have the belief in our hearts that we want to become stronger, we can become strong wherever we go!"
The pavilion master's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Long Qianjue, not only did he not show anger, but his appreciation became even stronger.
Patriarch Zhenhai also looked at Long Qianjue differently, and nodded slowly: "Yes, my Long family has a child like you who is thoughtful and motivated, which is a blessing for my Long family." Pavilion Master, since they have made up their minds, it is better to fulfill them......"
The pavilion master lowered his head and touched Xiaomo's black hair a few times, still a little reluctant: "Xiaomo, are you willing to come back often to visit the old ancestor?"
"Of course I do!" Xiao Mo nodded without hesitation, and said in a soft childish voice, "Xiao Mo will not only come to visit the old ancestor often, but also bring Xiao Xuanxuan to visit you together." Xiao Xuanxuan, she is my sister, but she is beautiful, and the old ancestors will definitely like her. β
"Okay, then the old ancestor is waiting for you two brothers and sisters to come to Xiaoyao Pavilion often. The pavilion master was in a happy mood, and his deep and far-reaching gaze looked at Long Qianjue again, "Since you and your wife are unwilling to go to the Xiaoyao Pavilion, I will not force you, but please remember that you will always be the Long family." β
"I don't care what kind of hardships you have experienced in the Long family in the past, but you must not forget your roots, you have the blood of the Long family flowing in your body. The ancestors of our Long family went through hardships to create the Long family, and the brilliant achievements of the Long family are inseparable from the hard work and efforts of the ancestors of the Long family. You and your younger brother, as well as Xiaomo, have inherited the most orthodox bloodline of the Long family, and you should be proud of it, and bravely take up the responsibility of revitalizing the Long family. β
He paused slightly, and sighed: "I'm old, and I don't have the ambitions I used to have. The future of the Long family is all pinned on your generation, and even on your next generation, I hope you will not let me down. β
Long Qianjue listened carefully to the Pavilion Master's words, and he inexplicably felt the shock that the same bloodline was closely connected. That's right, no matter how the people of the Long family have treated him, what flows in his body is always the blood of the Long family, so he will never forget that he is a member of the Long family, and he has the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Long family and carrying forward the Long family on his shoulders.
"Pavilion Master, don't worry, old man! Although I won't return to the current Long family, because it has disappointed me too much, I will never forget my roots, I will always keep in mind the spirit of the ancestors of the Long family to punish evil and promote good, and maintain justice, and carry forward the spirit of the Long family!"
A few words made Yunxi's blood boil.
She seems to recall that era full of blood and passion, the Long family struggled for their beliefs and ideals, and went through hardships to finally have the prosperity of Panlong City now. How many generations have worked hard to get this?
But what about the current Long family?
She can't see a little spiritual power to punish evil and promote good, and maintain justice, but she only sees that there is no distinction between right and wrong, selfishness, and cannibalism, such a Long family is in decline.
If no one shows up to change it, it will continue to decline and decay, and if it does not advance, it will retreat, and sooner or later it will disappear into the flood of history.
She suddenly understood Qianjue's ambition, he was a man, a responsible man, in addition to his family, he should have his own career, and the Long family was his career.
She decided to support him with all her might, and in order to help him realize his dreams, she wanted to make herself stronger and help him carry half the burden, so that the two of them could share the joys and sorrows together, and smile each other towards their dreams.
Xiao Mo opened a pair of round black eyes, listened carefully to his father's words, and inexplicably felt more strength in his heart. Although he didn't quite understand what kind of power this was, he was sure that Daddy's words must be right!
The Pavilion Master and the Zhenhai Patriarch both nodded and smiled, very satisfied with Long Qianjue's answer.
"However, if there are two of you missing the two of you in this competition, what will happen to the top three candidates for the family competition that were previously decided?"
Before the pavilion master could speak, Long Qianjue opened his mouth and said: "Pavilion master, I will let my fourth uncle and ninth uncle replace the two of us in the place, the two of them are upright, although their talents are not very good, but compared to ordinary people, they are much better. If it weren't for the suppression and influence of my second uncle over the years, their achievements at this time would definitely be several times better than they are now, and I hope that the pavilion master can give them a chance! It is far more worthwhile to train two people with good conduct and loyalty to the family than to cultivate two people with outstanding talents but who may be greedy for fame and fortune and have bad intentions, do you think?"
"How did I hear that the fourth child's leg was crippled many years ago, how can a person who is lame be entrusted with a heavy responsibility?" said Zhenhai Patriarch.
"These two can rest assured that the fourth uncle has taken the Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill I gave him, plus regular and quantitative physiotherapy every day, I believe that his leg injury will soon heal and he will be able to stand up again. "Yunxi Road.
"What? Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill?" The Pavilion Master, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't continue to be calm, his face changed slightly, "There is actually someone in this world who can refine the Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill? How is this possible? As far as I know, the secret recipe of the Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill has long been lost, and even the secret recipe of the Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill that has been circulated in the rivers and lakes is just a broken secret recipe. How could anyone be able to refine the Nine Turns Taiji Pill?"
"Pavilion Master doesn't have to doubt it, and I don't want to hide anything, the complete secret recipe of the Nine Turns Taiji Pill is in my mind. Yunxi took out the last Nine-Turn Taiji Pill from his arms and handed it to the Pavilion Master, "Look, this is the last Nine-Turn Taiji Pill in the world." β
Ge took it from her hand and sniffed deeply, his expression becoming more and more excited: "That's right! This must be the Nine Turns Taiji Pill, this wonderful elixir fragrance is exactly the same as what is recorded and described in ancient books." β
The pavilion master looked at Yunxi in surprise and asked, "You refined this elixir with your own hands?"
Yunxi nodded.
The pavilion master was shocked again, his eyes dilated, ordinary things could not make the pavilion take the initiative, but today was an exception. He looked down at the Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill in his hand, and his heart was surging: "I can't imagine that there is really someone in this world who can refine the Nine Turns Tai Chi Pill...... It's a pity that it's a thousand years late! If it had been a thousand years ago...... Alas, there would not have been so many regrets. β
"A thousand years?" Yun Xi's eyes changed instantly when he looked at the pavilion master, but don't let anyone tell her, the person standing in front of her is a thousand-year-old demon who has lived for a thousand years?
That's, isn't it?
Where in this world can anyone live for a thousand years?
She must have been overthinking and cranky.
"You have such a superb alchemy, I'm afraid those old things in the Dan League will be scrambling to win you over. After the pavilion master sighed, he quickly regained his calm, and returned the Nine Turns Taiji Pill as it was, without the slightest desire to covet it, perhaps this is the demeanor that a generation of grandmasters should have.
"I haven't been to the Dan League's alchemy assessment yet, so no one will pay attention to me at all, but I've been invited to participate in the Dan League's alchemy conference, and the time is not far off. Yunxi said calmly.
The pavilion master nodded silently, and suddenly took out something from his arms, and said, "I have a codex of alchemy here, and it won't be of much use to put it on me, so you should take it, maybe it can help you." β
Yunxi stepped forward and took it respectfully, it was a codex without any words on the cover, the pages were old and yellow, and I don't know how many years had passed. She didn't look through it in front of the pavilion master, guessing in her heart that this was probably some record of the experience made by an alchemist while refining pills.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master. β
At this time, the right-wing protector who had been waiting outside the door came to report, and the head of the family asked to see him.
The pavilion master invited the head of the family and his party to enter, and those who followed the head of the house were the great elder, the eldest master, the fourth master, and the ninth master.
When Long Qian was absolutely on Long Tianze, the father and son suddenly fell into some kind of complicated relationship, and they were a little uncalm with each other, but the reasons for the unrestfulness were very different.
"Pavilion Master, I am really guilty about the changes that occurred in this family martial arts competition. The Death ...... of the Left Wing Protector" Before the head of the house could finish speaking, the pavilion master waved his hand and interrupted him.
"I've seen it all, he's dead. The pavilion master's words sentenced the left-wing protector to death, that is to say, even if Long Tianze killed the other party, he would not have to bear any responsibility for murder.
The head of the family breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then the candidate for the family competition ......"
The pavilion master's gaze turned and fell on the fourth and ninth masters: "The two of them are your fourth son and ninth son?"
"Yes, Pavilion Master! Lao Jiu has not been at home, he has not returned home for many years, and Lao Jiu has lost his legs and has been in a wheelchair for many years. Alas, it's all my fault, I actually governed a good Long family like this, and I am guilty of it, please punish the pavilion master!"
"As the head of the family, the most important thing is to act impartially and fairly, and at the same time listen to different voices from top to bottom, make correct judgments, and keep abreast of the family's movements at all times. The consequences of today are the result of you closing your eyes and ears and closing your eyes, and you deserve to be punished. The pavilion master said in an indifferent voice.
The head of the family trembled, and did not dare to have any disobedience: "Please punish the pavilion master!"
"Have you ever heard of the fire cave of the Xiaoyao Pavilion?" said the pavilion master.
The head of the house trembled and looked at the pavilion master in shock, he didn't expect the pavilion master to give him such a heavy punishment. The rest of the people, including Patriarch Zhenhai, couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.
Yunxi didn't know what this fire cave was, but he couldn't help but be curious when he saw everyone's reactions.
"Qianjue, what is that fire cave?"
Long Qian was determined, and explained to her in a calm tone as much as possible: "Entering the fire cave is an extremely cruel punishment in our Long family, but whoever enters it will have to endure the continuous scorching of the fire, if that person's strength is not enough to resist the scorching fire, then he can only be burned to death by the fire." β
"So terrible?" Yunxi could imagine the scene of being scorched by the flames, and the back of his neck couldn't help but chill, such a punishment was indeed a bit cruel.
"Pavilion Master, my father is old, I'm afraid that he can't bear the punishment of the fire cave, can you ask the Pavilion Master to be lenient?"
Long Youting also stepped forward and pleaded: "Pavilion Master, if you really want to accept the punishment of the fire cave, why don't you let me be punished in place of my father!"
Long Tianze snorted, and glanced at Long Youting and the fourth master: "You all retreat, if you want to punish you, it can only be me!"
"Big brother, don't fight with me. I'm alone, I don't have anything to worry about, you still have a large family, you can't ignore it. Long Youting argued.
The fourth master couldn't help but argue: "Let me come, my skills are deeper than those of the ninth brother, and my endurance is stronger than all of you, and I have survived the torture of leg disease over the years, are you still afraid of a fire cave?"
The three sons refused to give in to each other, and they vied with each other to be punished.
Yunxi couldn't help but be moved, it seems that the head of the family is not without merit, if he really fails, there will be no such filial three sons, vying to suffer on behalf of their father.
Long Qianjue looked at the father and son of the family master, and his mood was inexplicable.
The pavilion master was calm and relaxed, as if he had not heard of it.
After listening to his father's explanation, Xiaomo couldn't help but shrink his neck, pulled the sleeve of the old ancestor, and said weakly: "Old ancestor, this fire cave sounds so terrible, can you not punish it?"
Several people who were still arguing turned their heads to look at Xiao Mo, but they didn't expect the little guy to open their mouths to plead, and they looked at the pavilion master with hopeful eyes one by one, waiting for his reply.
The pavilion master lowered his head, looked at Xiao Mo's innocent and cute little face, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Okay! For the sake of your intercession for your great-grandfather, the old ancestor will not punish him." β
"Yes! Long live the old ancestor! Xiaomo loves the old ancestor the most!" Xiaomo's little face suddenly bloomed with a smile, bright and bright.
"Thank you Pavilion Master for your forgiveness!" the head of the house thanked him.
Everyone present also breathed a sigh of relief, not thinking that in the end, it was this little guy who prevented a disaster for the head of the family, which was really incredible. The head of the family gratefully glanced in the direction of Xiao Mo, speaking of which, he, as a great-grandfather, has never had a chance to hug this little guy.
Yunxi smiled in his heart, and suddenly understood the intention of the pavilion master, where did he really want to punish the family master? He just wanted to test the character of the family master and his sons, to see if their recommendation was true, and at the same time, he also sold Xiaomo a good one, so that the family owner inherited Xiaomo's favor, and Xiaomo would not suffer any grievances in the Long family in the future. With such good intentions, Yunxi was moved in his heart, he deserved to be a respected pavilion master, and he was superior to others.
"Regarding the results of this family competition, originally the Qianjue couple should have been selected for the top three, but they have just refused to enter the Xiaoyao Pavilion, and they also recommended your fourth son and ninth son to me, and the two of them will replace the place of their couple, as for the other candidate, it is still according to the original judgment. The Pavilion Master announced.
The fourth master and Long Youting were overjoyed, they would never have thought that such good luck would befall them, and the two of them turned their heads to look at Long Qianjue and Yunxi and his wife together, and their grateful eyes kept passing.
The head of the family was happy, but he was also worried: "It's just the fourth child's legs ......"
"Dad, don't worry, my leg is recovering now, and I believe I will be able to stand up again in the near future. Speaking of which, this is thanks to Xi'er's panacea. The fourth master said happily.
The head of the family was surprised and looked at Yunxi incredulously, while the latter shrugged his shoulders indifferently, anyway, she helped the fourth master just for the sake of a thousand uniques, and it had nothing to do with him, and she didn't want the head of the family to know too many details, especially the secret of the Nine Turns Taiji Pill. The fourth master's family had also promised her that without her permission, they would never reveal the secret of the Nine Turns Taiji Pill to others, even if they were the head of the family. Who made the Nine Turns Tai Chi Dan so rebellious?
The head of the house wanted to ask again, but the head of the pavilion interrupted him: "Okay! Xiaomo, you send the old ancestor. β
"Hmm. Xiao Mo nodded obediently and left the room with the pavilion master, and the family master and the others bowed deeply to say goodbye.
Patriarch Zhenhai, the right-wing protector and the Great Elder also left the room one after another, and in the end, only Yunxi, Long Qianjue, and the father and son of the head of the family were left in the room, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became awkward.
Long Youting looked at a few people left and right, trying to adjust the atmosphere: "Dad, you see that we have three generations in the same house today, it is very rare, it is better to sit down and have a meal together and talk about it well." What unpleasant things happened in the past, today we all talked about it together, resolved the knot in each other's hearts, and then passed the future days as a family, what do you say?"
The head of the family hesitated to glance over Long Qianjue's slightly cold face, coughed lightly, and said, "Yes, it's rare for the three generations of our ancestors and grandchildren to get together, so we might as well sit down and have a good chat to resolve the knots in each other's hearts." β
"No need!" Long Qianjue resolutely interrupted him, his eyes shot at Long Tianze like arrows, and said in a questioning tone, "I only want to ask you one thing, where is my mother's body, where did you bury her?"
Long Tianze's eyes moved slightly, and his eyebrows like a sword frowned slightly, as if he was hesitating about something.
"Answer me! Is this question difficult to answer? I just want to know, where is my mother's grave?" Long Qianjue's heart fluctuated, his chest rose and fell, and he held back his anger.
Long Tianze still didn't answer him.
Long Youting and the fourth master were watching from the sidelines, and they were all anxious.
"Big brother, tell me quickly! Back then, you were the last to be with your sister-in-law's body, and your sister-in-law's body also disappeared with you, so you can't know where your sister-in-law's body is buried. Long Youting said.
"Yes, big brother. He finally came back, he just wanted to take his brother, wife and children to pay homage to his mother, this request is not too much, right?"
Long Tianze still didn't reply, but his eyes became more painful and tangled.
Long Qian stared at the other party's eyes, his heart was more painful and entangled than him, he should hate him to death, but only then did he see that he could come forward to punish him for his father. How can such a person hate him to the core?
"You speak! My mother has been killed by you, why are you still hiding it?"
Long Qianjue's fists clenched, and he was furious.
"A thousand peerless ......" Yunxi looked at him worriedly, and then turned her head to look at Long Tianze, I don't know if it was because she was just a bystander, she always felt that Long Tianze seemed to have something unspeakable. His expression was definitely not what a person who dared not take responsibility should be, but more like he was weighing something, so he hesitated.
The atmosphere was so deadlocked, until finally, the head of the family couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly threw out an astonishing sentence: "Don't ask him again, your mother is not dead at all, where is the corpse, where is the grave?"
"What?"
Everyone said in unison, shocked.
"What are you talking about? My mother is not dead?" Long Qianjue's shocked Cheng DΓΉ was stronger than anyone else, and the excitement that might be lost and regained made his heart difficult to calm down for a while.
If my mother hadn't died, where would she be now?"
Yunxi was also shocked in his heart, nervously looking at the head of the family, and then at Long Tianze, obviously among all the people here, only the two of them were in the know. What was the reason that could make the two of them keep their mouths shut and even implicate such a tragedy later? Yunxi's heart was full of curiosity.
"Your mother, she is not dead. Long Tianze finally spoke.
"Then where is she now?" asked Long Qianjue anxiously.
She ...... She is now at her maiden home. Long Tianze said.
Long Qianjue raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "My mother's maiden family?
"Xuanyuan family?" At this moment, Yunxi was even more surprised, how could she never know that Long Qianjue's mother was actually from the Xuanyuan family?
"Yes, your mother is the daughter of the Xuanyuan family, and when she was committed to marrying me, the people of the Xuanyuan family were extremely opposed, but your mother resolutely married into the Long family despite the opposition of the family, and therefore broke off contact with the Xuanyuan family for a long time. If it hadn't happened later...... I will not make up my mind to send her back to the Xuanyuan family. This parting is sixteen years, and I don't know if she is okay now. Speaking of Qianjue's mother, Long Tianze's eyes became deeper and deeper, and there was a faint tenderness in it.
"My mother, she is still alive, Xi'er, do you hear, my mother, she is still alive!" Long Qianjue cried with joy, and actually shed the man's tears, which made Yunxi feel very distressed.
"It is rumored that the Xuanyuan family is a hidden family, and their clansmen rarely move around, and the people I know who are related to the Xuanyuan family, except for that Xuanyuan Shujia, are Chu Mu's biological mother. I heard that few people in the world know where the Xuanyuan family is and how to find their place to live......" Yunxi recalled.
"Yes, the true location of the Xuanyuan family is indeed a mystery, its entrance changes every day, and even I can't enter it smoothly. That year, Ya'er personally led the way, and we were able to reach the location of the Xuanyuan family, but after I left, I wanted to go back to look for it, but I couldn't find the entrance anymore. Long Tianze said.
"Then you should know its approximate location, right? Once you find the approximate location, it shouldn't be difficult to find the entrance further. "Yunxi Road.
"Well, the approximate geographical location of the Xuanyuan family is not far from the location of the Dan League, as long as the location of the Dan League is found, the Xuanyuan family will not be far away. I heard that among the elders of the Dan League, there are several people from the Xuanyuan family, if we really can't find the entrance to the Xuanyuan family, maybe we can start from them. Long Tianze pondered.
"No matter what, I'm going to find my mother, Xuanyuan family, I'm done!" Long Qianjue breathed a long sigh of relief, and his smile returned to his handsome face, his eyes reflecting a resolute light.
"I'll go with you. "Yunxi Road.
Long Qianjue smiled softly at her, and then swept his cold eyes at Long Tianze: "You lead the way!"
Long Tianze's eyelids drooped slightly, he didn't agree, he didn't refuse, and fell into some kind of reminiscing thoughts.
