Chapter 41: Eight Gates Tukun
It's the house with the wall again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Originally, the four of them proposed to go to the hotel where they were staying to talk, but Lu Li said that they were so numerous that they had to choose their own place.
Really, I'm still fighting for that star, but in the end, it's still not as good as Liang Zhen.
Xu Yu feels that Liang Zhen is like the ultimate weapon in some Hollywood blockbusters, usually it looks useless, but in the end, he can always save the world unexpectedly, such a role seems to be a bug.
This time I changed the room, and there was a layer of dust on the door, and when it was opened, there was a "squeak" sound, and a layer of heavy dust flew into the air, causing Lu Li, who opened the door, to cough.
"Big brother, it's okay, no one has lived in this place for a long time, if not, let's go to our hotel, it's spacious and bright, and I'm in a good mood to speak."
Lu Li, who was coughing non-stop, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Bai: "Ahem...... Do you know what a sense of history is? This house is older than you, so it's perfect to talk about. ”
After that, he stepped in first, and caused a puff of dust on the ground.
I had no choice but to walk in. Although the room is not popular, it is extremely spacious, not smaller than the previous one, and even more magnificent.
"The last time there was an occupant in this house, I was still young, and I didn't expect so many years to pass all at once."
Liang Zhen saw three stools in the middle of the room, which seemed to be the person in charge of the house, and four were placed side by side on the other two sides, and the back of each stool also had corresponding symbols pasted on the back, some of which looked like so-called family crests.
It is conceivable that a few years ago, the scene of the eight masters gathering here to discuss business has long since passed, leaving only traces of history.
All four of them were a little cramped and didn't know where to sit. Lu Li pointed to one of the chairs and said to Liang Zhen, "That's your Jin Qian's seat, you can sit there." ”
Xu Yu began to sigh as soon as he entered the room, although there were no imaginary four big words "slaying demons and destroying demons" on the wall, but he couldn't hold it at all when he saw this scene: "Senior Brother Lu, what about me?" Where do I sit? ”
Lu Li's eyes looked at the benches on both sides of the door: "Well, the idlers are waiting to sit over there." ”
With that, he walked towards Huoli's seat.
No way, who made him the master. After Lu Li and Liang Zhen sat down separately, the remaining three people were crowded on a bench, like children who had been punished in class.
"It stands to reason that the sect master was allowed to speak first. We only have two here, so let's just talk about it. ”
Sitting on the chair of Jin Qian's house, Liang Zhen always felt a little awkward, as if she had been labeled. But one yard is one yard, and some things still need to be asked.
"Mr. Lu, what's the finished product you said before?"
Lu Li was surprised: "You haven't heard of it?" ”
Liang Zhen shook her head: "I don't even know that I am a person from the Eight Sects, how can I know this." ”
"If you don't know, why do you want to get involved in these things?"
Liang Zhen smiled bitterly: "If I could not mix, I would have ignored these for a long time." ”
She briefly recounted everything that happened in her family, including everything that happened after she came to Yunnan. During this period, Xu Yu also interjected a few words, but they were all blocked by Lu Li's eyes.
"Bai Ranzhi......" Lu Li lowered his head and thought about the name, "It should be." White Jin Ye, your mother should be the descendant of Jin Qian. ”
"When it comes to finished products, we have to go back more than 100 years, and I also heard a lot of things from my grandfather."
The five sects and eight doors still maintained the original system more than a hundred years ago, and among the people in charge of the eight gates, a small competition will be held, and the winner of the competition will become the suzerain, and have the right to decide on major matters, and the second and third place in the order will become the master of the door and deal with trivial matters.
There are rights and obligations. According to the fortune of the passing year, the appearance of monsters is also divided into big years and small years, at this time, the sect master and the door master must participate in the retreat of demons and ghosts, no matter how powerful the other party is, they must rush to the front.
In order to strengthen the ties between the eight gates, intermarriage was inevitable. But in order not to have the harm of close relatives marrying, each family will take turns to marry or marry someone other than the eight gates, and there are very complicated rules between them, and even Lu Li can't figure it out.
In his words, it is better not to find a woman if you have to figure out these things. Now he is a lot older, and he is still single.
After all, the times are constantly advancing, and such a strict family system is facing collapse in modern times, because of feelings, and because of power and money, the hearts of the eight families are scattered, and even many of them have broken away from the family system, given up their talents, and become ordinary people.
Counting it up, the sect master at that time was Jin Qian. They were conservative and unwilling to change the ancient law, which was opposed by some people, including one of the masters of the sect at that time, Bamen Tukun.
They believe that in order to regain Hachimen's place in society, a change must be made. Since the power of youkai can be strong for a hundred years, why not use this power to enrich yourself?
"You also know that demons are not human beings, and if they can be used by people, they cannot be called demons. As soon as this dangerous idea was raised, it was rejected by the suzerain. ”
After this, the master of the gate announced his withdrawal from the Eight Gates, and began an activity against the Eight Gates. Not only did they begin to control the captured youkai, but they even wanted to transfer the power of the youkai to themselves. But no one has ever done this kind of thing, not to mention whether it is successful or not, security alone is worth pondering.
So there was Luo Cheng's encounter. Bamen Tukun input the collected monster power into Luo Cheng's body, trying to create a powerful container, but the result was naturally a failure, but due to the large number of demon powers, it was difficult to eliminate for a while, just like a secondary hazard, and could only be dealt with secretly.
"Although the experiment failed, Tu Kun still gained a lot of experimental experience, and his ability was greatly improved, not only defeating the sect master at that time, but also disintegrating the strict system of the five sects and eight sects for many years, and finally became what it is now."
It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation as falling apart. The treacherous struggle in this is extremely complicated just by talking about it.
After Lu Li said these words, it took a long time, and when he looked up at Liang Zhen again, the other party seemed to have fallen into deep thought. Also, so many things were imposed on her at once, and it took a lot of time to digest.
"I have two questions." Liang Zhen suddenly asked.
"First, where have the people of the Jin Qian family gone now. Second, how can Luo Cheng return to normal. ”
After listening to Liang Zhen's question, Lu Li smiled dumbly: "The first question, only they know where the Jin Qian's family went, since your mother can leave you alone, and even seal the original ability in your body, it means that she didn't think about coming back at all." ”
"The second question," Lu Li raised his head and suddenly met Luo Cheng's eyes, "If he wants to return to normal, there is only one way, which is to find the corpses scattered all over the place, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”
