Volume 3: African Treasure Hunt [550] The Abyss of the World

Next chapter

Just like the rise and fall of the family in the mundane world, there will also be famous families in the world of the capable who will change from prosperity to decline, or even fall overnight, usually this is the result of the withering of talents within the family, the strong enemies outside the family, and the interaction between internal and external forces.

The decline of the Nan family was a simple external force, and Qin Qi thought that he had played a very disgraceful role in it.

Natural disasters were still frequent at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the grain production of the Xiaoice River was greatly reduced, coupled with the chaos of thieves, everyone knew the pills of the Ming Dynasty, and the head of the Nan family was no exception.

However, the [Law of Hermits] of the world of the capable restricts him, and the vocation of the capable is to protect the world from the erosion of demons, not to participate in the historical process of the mundane world.

Especially at that time, the power of the Senate of Exorcists was basically all from the Western world, and the vast majority of them came from the radical organization of the [Sect Inquisition].

The Inquisition is in the same vein as the Inquisition that sentenced Bruno to be burned at the stake in history, these exorcists believe that the glory of God cannot be taken lightly, and the slightest disrespect to God will not be tolerated, and those who come into contact with the demon gods in any way are regarded as witches and demon messengers, and wearing the Emperor's Ring is an extreme act of betrayal, and even the [Broken Ring] is not allowed.

Compared with the paranoia of Western exorcists, Eastern exorcists prefer to call themselves "cultivators", and the relationship with demons (demon gods) is not so incompatible, and it is common to subdue milder demonic beasts and become their subordinates.

The Nan family is even more informal among the cultivators, upholding pragmatism and accepting a lot of demonic beasts for expulsion, if it is a coincidence to get the remnant ring, the Dharma Emperor ring will not refuse, whether it is to use the demons as scouts or as mounts, it is excellent.

Such a Nan family naturally became a thorn in the side of the [Zongqui Office], the Nan family was the first of the six major families at that time, and naturally it would also cause the jealousy of the other five families, so a storm against the Nan family began to brew, but there was no chance to start.

The wheels of history are rolling forward, and I don't know how many flesh and blood have been crushed. Li Zicheng, a mud-legged man, had no foresight, occupied the capital but only cared about looting and plundering, and killed the ministers who came to surrender, and finally forced Wu Sangui to rebel because of Chen Yuanyuan's incident, and Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the customs, so that there were later "Yangzhou Ten Days" and "Jiading Three Massacres".

During the 10 days in Yangzhou, the Qing army broke through Yangzhou and carried out a 10-day massacre of unarmed civilians, and then more than 800,000 corpses were collected alone, which is absolutely genocide and a proper "crime" by today's standards.

The massacre is excellent nutrition for the [Sin Mark] on the Doomsday Seal, and the Eastern cultivators call the Doomsday Seal the "Demon God Tomb", and the Demon God Tomb must not be opened, which is the same consensus as the exorcists in the Western world.

The three demon god mounds on the land of China are bloody, and the Nan family is duty-bound, so they naturally send the masters of the clan to intercept the invading demon clan, not to mention the tragic battle, but Qin Qi, who has already become a first-line master, was left to guard the Nan family's mansion.

"Why don't you take me there? Parents, don't you trust my strength? Or is it because I'm just a child of a subordinate that I'm not qualified to go with you? ”

At that time, Qin Qi excitedly asked the head of the Nan family, but the head of the family replied that his tone was still so calm.

"Qin Qi, your talent is rare in the world, even if you don't follow me now, you are qualified to go out and start a sect...... I left you to look after the house, just because I trust you, and I hope you can protect the old and weak women and children of our Nan family. ”

Just like the children of wizards in "Harry Potter" will have "squibs", the children of the capable may not necessarily have the ability, and some people who are really untalented and unable to cultivate, or who are injured and disabled, are indeed not much stronger than ordinary people, and need special protection in this troubled world.

After understanding the painstaking efforts of the family master, Qin Qi endured his temperament and conscientiously guarded the Nan family's mansion, not daring to relax for a moment, which lasted for more than a month.

I don't know if it's because the Nan family is famous, and no Xiao Xiao dares to offend, or if the world is in chaos and even the robbers are too busy to take care of themselves, Qin Qi has nothing to do for so long, so he has to practice every day and suppress the war in his heart.

The "10th Day of Yangzhou" occurred in April, and in June, the "Three Massacres in Jiading" occurred, and the cause was, of course, the Qing army's proposal to "keep your head without your hair, and keep your hair without your head."

The people of the Nan family were distributed around the three demon god mounds and fought for a long time, and because of the [Hermit Law], they couldn't meddle in mundane things, but Qin Qi, who was in the rear, couldn't sit still this time.

"These Qing troops, you have killed so many people to guide the Demon God Tomb to redden, and now you have to kill more? Is it you beasts that we are protecting from the fight against demons? ”

Qin Qi, who was absolutely confident in his own strength and steps, left the Nan family's mansion for an hour, created a terrifying celestial phenomenon to intimidate the Qing army in Jiading, and secretly killed several leaders of the Qing army, preventing the further expansion of the massacre.

However, after returning to the Nan family mansion, Qin Qi was stunned by the scene in front of him - the magnificent Nan family mansion was burned to the ground, and no one survived, including his own parents!

He didn't believe that this was true, because there were 12 guards in the Nan Family Mansion besides him, all of whom were close to the level of the first line, even if he could defeat them, he would have to face the Tianyuan Qimen formation, this formation was extremely dangerous, if he didn't know where the formation was, even Qin Qi himself would not be able to protect himself from retreating, let alone breaking the formation.

Qin Qi, who was confused and puzzled, used the [Beidou Light Photography Technique] on the soil under his feet, ingesting the light and shadow of the past hour to find out who the murderer was and what method he used to break the Heavenly Abyss Array.

The light and shadow flew in front of him, although it was silent, but he could read his lips, it turned out that as soon as Qin Qi walked on his front foot, a large number of masked enemies who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up, and the 12 guards were outnumbered, and they couldn't even pass on the alarm message.

"Some people have black eyes, some people have blue eyes...... Could it be that the capable people of the East and the West have joined forces to deal with the Nan family? ”

When Qin Qi saw that his parents were coerced by masked people, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death to tell where the eyes were, and none of the old and weak women and children of the Daozhì Nan family were spared, and finally he was also killed, he fell into a terrible silence.

The torrential rain was like a note, he stood in the rain for a long time, his consciousness was scattered, and then he heard that the Nan family was also attacked by an unknown enemy on the front line of the Demon God Tomb, and the losses were huge, judging from the strength of the enemy, even if Qin Qi did not leave for an hour, he might not be able to protect the Nan family's mansion.

But Qin Qi couldn't forgive himself.

He also can't forgive his parents.

Although his parents are only subordinates of the Nan family, the Nan family treats his parents very well, and there is no obvious difference between inside and outside, and he even teaches himself ...... How can they take revenge for their lives?

Is this the difference between ordinary people and capable people? Because ordinary people are weak, they can only survive selfishly, relying on betrayal, betrayal, and shameful deeds that all capable people disdain to survive in the world?

It turns out that impotence is sin, evil, and an unforgivable defect...... In order to protect ordinary people, the Nan family will disperse its forces, and without ordinary people, the Nan family will not be plotted by others, and without ordinary people, the Nan family will not be turned into white ground, so ...... Why do the capable protect ordinary people?

Three hundred years later, Qin Qi, who was floating in the dark sea of the void, looked back on the past, and while his heart was full of regret for the Nan family, his eyes were suddenly filled with thunder and lightning!

"Spencon, Elsa! I don't care how many ordinary people you have to sacrifice to Baal, but I want to protect those with power like Nank, and you can't move any of them, not a single one! …… Fight for this old life of mine, and I will die with you! ”
