Chapter 18: Doubts about His Background
During the flight, Cheng Yu also asked a lot of news about Hong Yufeng from Yin Tianxia.
Hong Yufeng is under the jurisdiction of Ji Wan, the second elder of the Qiankun Sect. There is a Qu Chi with abundant spiritual energy on the peak, and the Qu Chi spiritual water is warm all year round, and the tea aura brewed with the water there is compelling, which can greatly contribute to cultivation. I heard that Elder Ji chose this mountain because he liked this quchi, so he named this mountain peak Hong Yufeng.
Elder Ji is the only female elder among the three elders, she was already in the early stage of Jindan cultivation fifty years ago, and now she is at the peak of the early stage of Jindan, so she has not been very concerned about Hong Yufeng's affairs since two years ago, preparing for the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan. The current Hong Yufeng is only managed by her eldest disciple and second disciple.
Hong Yufeng is located in the westernmost part of the entire Qiankun Gate, although it is one of the three major peaks of the inner gate, but the number of disciples is the smallest, and it can be called one of the few pure places in the Qiankun Gate.
Near the sky above Hongyu Peak, you can see the blue curved pond in the distance, the water of the pond meanders down the mountainside, forming a straight down waterfall, the water vapor is pervasive, and it is beautiful.
Soon, the two landed in front of a large hall in Hong Yufeng. Several disciples stopped and stood aside, Yin Tianxia nodded, and walked into the main hall with Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu followed Yin Tianxia through the main hall, passing through several corridors, the more he got inside, the more deserted he became, and he could hardly see half a figure, and finally Yin Tianxia stopped at the door of a room.
"Go in by yourself, my master is inside." Yin Tianxia stood aside after speaking, and had no intention of going in with Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu nodded in gratitude.
'Squeak', Cheng Yu pushed the door in, this is an outer room, the layout is very simple, the decoration inside is also extremely elegant, only some simple tables, chairs. There are several spiritual fruits on the table, full of aura. There are also a few pots of spiritual plants by the window that I don't recognize.
"Come up here." Suddenly, a female voice came from the inner room. Cheng Yu noticed that there was a curtain in the corner of the room, and hurriedly stepped forward.
Lifting the roller shutter in the inner room, the same monotonous room came into view, and Elder Ji was already sitting on the side, looking at her with a peaceful expression.
Cheng Yu stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and when he looked up, he could see Elder Ji's outfit today. She looks only about thirty, her appearance is beautiful, her manners are elegant, her plain elder clothes make her look dignified and atmospheric, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised at this time, and her gentle demeanor makes Cheng Yu's heart feel a lot more at ease. No, Cheng Yu didn't completely let down her vigilance, after all, she was not facing an ordinary woman.
"Do you know why this seat is looking for you." Elder Ji spoke first and asked Cheng Yu about the doubts in his heart, and Cheng Yu shook his head and said that he didn't know. I saw that Elder Ji suddenly played a magic trick in his hand and placed a soundproof ban in the room.
The air in the room suddenly became much heavier.
"You're from the Shi Kan Cheng family." Hearing this, Cheng Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Elder Ji with blazing eyes.
Cheng Yu thought of thousands of possibilities, but he didn't expect that Elder Ji already knew where she came from.
"Don't worry, I won't tell the Cheng family about your whereabouts."
Since she found out that Cheng Yu was strange that day, she had a faint guess, and Cheng Yu's appearance was a little familiar, so she sent someone to a certain city to investigate, and she found all the way to Shi Kan Cheng's house.
"Why?" Cheng Yu was not afraid of Elder Ji telling the Cheng family her whereabouts, after all, she had not done anything unfavorable to the Cheng family.
Ji Wan looked at Cheng Yu who dared to look at her in front of her, although she still had a smile on her face, she secretly exerted her whole body of coercion on her.
Half-ringing, Ji Wan withdrew her hand.
Sure enough, coercion had no effect on Cheng Yu at all.
Cheng Yu's face changed slightly, if it was said that before the qi was drawn into the body, Cheng Yu didn't feel the pressure of the monk at all, but now she could detect the fluctuation of the aura in the air, the huge aura fluctuation that had just caught her off guard, but she didn't react in time for a while, so Elder Ji in front of her must have been suspicious. A normal friar, at this time should have fallen to the ground a long time ago. How can this be explained?
While Cheng Yu was secretly thinking about it, Elder Ji didn't mention what had just happened as if nothing had happened. But what she said next surprised her.
"Speaking of which, you still have some relationship with this seat, and this seat is also from Shikan City, and you are the aunt and grandmother of the current patriarch of the Ji family, maybe you have to call me an ancestor too." Ji Wan saw that Cheng Yu was silent, and then thought that she was still a ten-year-old child, perhaps frightened by her remarks, and then chuckled.
Cheng Yu remembered that Aunt Dong had said that her mother was Ji Yun, the eldest daughter of the Ji family. In this way, if the Elder Ji in front of her is really the ancestor of the Ji family, then it is really the first 'elder' she has seen.
"Ancestor." Cheng Yu was as kind as a stream, thinking that there was no need for Elder Ji to deceive her as a little monk.
"When I want to enter this immortal cultivation world in person, I am also the same age as you, and it is clear that it was like yesterday, when I was eleven years old, I practiced qi, I built a foundation at the age of thirty, and I became a golden pill at the age of more than three hundred, and so many years have passed in a blink of an eye." Elder Ji seemed to be caught in a memory, and there was a hint of melancholy in his voice.
Cheng Yu didn't make a sound to disturb, she could imagine that the seemingly indifferent woman in front of her must have had many unknown experiences.
Half a ring, when Ji Wan came back to her senses, she said: "Xu is really old, and he often looks back on the past. Stretching out his plain hand, he pointed to the chair on the side and motioned for Cheng Yu to sit down, and there was obviously more intimacy in his expression.
"How did you get to Qiankun Gate?"
Cheng Yu thought about it, and opened his mouth to slowly tell the story of being robbed by the big Han Lu Meng and coming to Qiankun Gate, except for the matter of cultivation and Yunjing.
Ji Wan nodded secretly, this is also a tough and intelligent child, and then said:
"Coincidentally, I went back to Shikan City ten years ago. You were just born back then, and I met you in the Cheng family. Ji Wan remembered that if she hadn't come to the rescue, the child would probably die as soon as she was born.
This is what they called the obstacle back then. I didn't expect them to meet here again.
Cheng Yu's heart tightened, she wouldn't recognize that she wasn't this original body, right? There is a saying in the world of cultivating immortals that she is reborn, she came to this body inexplicably, and I don't know if it is considered to be a rebirth?
Seeing Cheng Yu suddenly stiffened, Ji Wan thought that she thought of what Cheng Fu had done to her over the years, otherwise she would not have fallen here alone, she didn't want Cheng Yu to have hatred in her heart at a young age, so she immediately spoke:
"You remember, your father and mother did that because they had a hard time."
"Ancestor, do you know the reason?" It seems that it is really not an accident that Cheng Yu's predecessor was kept alone in that small courtyard.
Ji Wan's face suddenly sank: "Now is not the time for you to know, it's just that you still don't want to go back to Cheng's house before you build the foundation." "If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, returning home will only be a dead end.
Since it has come out, it means that there is an arrangement in the dark.
