Chapter Seventy-Three: Descendants of the Elves
"Revenge. ”
Without waiting for Jiang Zikun to finish speaking, Mu Qing ended the question he was about to ask with only two words.
"Hiss..." Jiang Zikun gasped, secretly said that it was not good, and after hesitating, he couldn't help but ask: "Who is Miss Mu Qing going to seek revenge with?"
"Whoever the soul refining jade belongs to is the enemy. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Zikun said in his heart: It's done, what are you afraid of. Senior brother, junior brother, my unintentional words, I am afraid that you will fall into being a brother and be unkind.
"With all due respect, I don't know what the relationship between Miss Muqing and the soul refining jade is. ”
Mu Qing looked at the two of them coldly, and said, "At the beginning of the Holy Demon War a hundred years ago, there was a young man from the Ji family named Ji Chenyu, can the two of you know about this?"
Hearing this, both of them were stunned, a hundred years ago, the two were middle-aged, and they also participated in the Holy Demon War. Although Ji Chenyu didn't know, the Ji family was real.
I only heard Jiang Zikun have an epiphany: "I heard that in the early days of the Holy Demon War, the Ji family did send someone to uphold justice. It's just that I don't know why, but I haven't seen him, could this person be Ji Chenyu in the girl's mouth?"
"Yes, he is Ji Chenyu from the Ji family, who was entrusted by the family and came to the rivers and lakes to uphold justice. Mu Qingyan came to this, a smile flashed on his cheeks, and he didn't know what he remembered from the bottom of his heart.
However, according to rumors in the rivers and lakes, this person did not show up in the rivers and lakes, but there was news that the Ji family was chasing and killing traitors. ”
As soon as Jiang Zikun's words fell, he saw Mu Qingyu's fingers clenched in front of him, and his fair face flashed with a trace of anger, and he hurriedly changed his words and said, "There must be something hidden in it." ”
"Yes, Ji Chenyu will not rebel against the Ji family, he was killed by a traitor and buried in the valley. Mu Qing's voice became smaller and smaller, his face became more and more heavy, and he went back to that year, that day in a trance.
"What?" Jiang Zikun was instantly furious, and hit the bamboo chair with a punch, only to hear a click, the bamboo chair suddenly shattered into two pieces, and the person on the chair sat unsteadily, and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Senior brother, be careful. Lu Ming jumped around, grabbed his arm in time, and said, "Senior brother, don't be angry. ”
Helped to the chair by Lu Ming, Jiang Zikun forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "I have heard that Qingyou Valley is a forbidden place in the rivers and lakes, and it turns out that it is where Ji Chenyu was buried. ”
"That's what happened. Mu Qing was slightly angry, his face was bitter, and he continued: "What I saw with my own eyes that day, the two domains of the Holy Demon secretly colluded, set up an ambush in the Clear Quiet Valley, and killed Chen Yu. I'll never forget it. ”
"Miss Mu Qing hasn't walked in the rivers and lakes for many years, this time she came to take revenge for Ji Chenyu? But it's been a hundred years, and it's not easy to seek revenge. Speaking of this, Jiang Zikun was taken aback and said, "Could it be that Miss Mu Qing killed the Twin Knife Ghost Yan back then, she was avenging Ji Chenyu?"
"Not bad. Mu Qingyan came to this, a trace of sadness flashed on his face, and he said: "It's just that my cultivation was still shallow back then, and I could only kill those minions." ”
The cultivation is still shallow, Jiang Zikun smiled bitterly in his heart, he thought he was proud of the others, but he was almost fatal under the double knife of Ghost Yan. If it weren't for the woman in front of him who appeared in time to kill the ghost flame, where would there be the current iron-blooded head Jiang Zikun.
"In order to help Ji Chenyu take revenge, Miss Mu Qing was able to endure for a hundred years, presumably the relationship between the girl and him is extraordinary. Jiang Zikun really can't imagine that a person has endured for a hundred years in order to seek revenge, and what deep hatred can make her have such perseverance.
"My elven clan was persecuted and hunted down by the human race a hundred years ago, and the whole clan was almost wiped out, if it wasn't for Chen Yu's sacrifice of his life, the elven clan would have ceased to exist, and I, have long since become their sword soul. ”
It turned out that he was kind to the girl, no wonder Miss Muqing would come forward. ”
Jiang Zikun nodded when he heard this, but he heard Mu Qing's words say a little fiercely: "He is not only kind to me, but also to the entire elf clan." ”
"Do you know who were the people who framed Ji Chenyu in Qingyou Valley back then? When necessary, the old man was willing to help the girl. Jiang Zikun was also hesitant at this time, he couldn't think of an impulse, and the words in his mouth came out involuntarily.
"Not necessarily. Mu Qing still said the same sentence, and didn't say much.
"The purpose of the girl's coming to Lingyun Pavilion today is ......" Jiang Zikun hesitated for a long time, and finally threw out his psychological doubts.
"Find out the whereabouts of the Soul Refining Jade. ”
"How can the girl be sure that the Soul Refining Jade is here?"
"Back then, the soul refining jade was a person surnamed Liu. ”
"So the girl suspected that the Holy Venerable Liu Chen was the owner of the Soul Refining Jade. Jiang Zikun felt that this point alone was a bit one-sided, Liu Chen's nine brothers, each of whom put the word willow first, if it was certain that the owner was Liu Chen, it would be a bit unsatisfactory.
"The people who were in the Valley of Tranquility back then will not let go of any of them. ”
Mu Qing's words revealed the intention of killing, which made the two people in the room feel an invisible oppression, knowing that this person's cultivation was far better than his own.
"What can the old man do for the girl?" Jiang Zikun was afraid for a while, and secretly glad that he didn't know anything about the past.
"He has repaid your kindness for you, and you and I will not owe each other anything from now on. Mu Qing looked at Lu Ming as he spoke, picked up the sword in his hand and turned to leave, and said, "If you don't want to be framed by Liu Chen, it's still too late for you two to leave now." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qianying disappeared into the vast night. Lu Ming strode after him, standing at the door, but there was still no trace of it.
"Senior brother, she's gone. Lu Ming turned to look at Jiang Zikun and said, "This person's cultivation is afraid that he has already broken through the ninth grade, far above you and me." ”
"I felt it too, it was terrifying. Jiang Zikun let out a long breath and looked at the door thoughtfully.
"Senior brother, what are our plans, whether we want to leave this place as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Zikun shook his head slowly and said, "It's not appropriate to leave at this time, let's see what the results of the Sanctuary Conference will be in a few days." After all, this is also related to the life and death of the Iron Blood Gate, and if you and I leave, I am afraid it will cause a lot of suspicion. ”
"Senior brother, who is this woman? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Well, did you know that there is an extremely secretive race in the world today. ”
"Senior brother is talking about the elven clan in the woman's mouth?" Lu Ming frowned and said, "It's just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, who has seen it?" I think this woman calls herself an elf clan, but it's just to add to the mystery. ”
"Do you know how the old man passed away?"
Lu Ming really didn't know why Senior Brother suddenly mentioned this matter, and said without thinking: "I was also present when Master Immortal died, and when Master Immortal broke through the Transformation Realm, his True Qi reversed and was seriously injured. ”
"Hehe..." Jiang Zikun smiled bitterly, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and said: "Actually, otherwise, this matter is the entire Iron and Blood Gate, only the foolish brother and several uncles who have passed away are aware of it." ”
"What?" Lu Ming didn't react for a while. "Are you saying that there was another reason for the death of the master?"
"Back then, the master misheard slander and went to the Dark Night Forest with many heroes of the rivers and lakes. It is said that the Demon Domain has opened a mysterious barrier to the Shura clan somewhere in the Night Forest, trying to defeat the Sanctuary with the help of the Shura clan's power. Unexpectedly, everyone really found a mysterious tribe in the Dark Night Forest. ”
"Could it be that the Demon Domain really united the Shura Clan?"
Jiang Zikun shook his head and continued: "What kind of Shura clan is it, what they met is the tribe of the woman just now, the elf clan. ”
At that time, the master also thought that this was the Shura demon, and fought with many chivalrous people and fought with him, the battle was extremely cruel, and those who killed fled in all directions, and only one-tenth of thousands of people survived. Jiang Zikun sighed faintly and continued: "According to the master, there was a young boy who came out of the air at that time, and his age seemed to be not very old, but his cultivation was shocking to ordinary people, and he fought against several eight-rank masters with his own strength, if he did not appear, I am afraid that the elf clan would disappear in the world." ”
"Could it be that this person is Ji Chenyu?" Lu Ming vaguely remembered that Mu Qing once said that Ji Chenyu had a life-saving grace for her elf clan.
"Who he really is now a mystery. And it was in that battle that the master was defeated by the other party, and fled back to the Iron Gate with serious injuries. Who knew that it didn't take long for there to be a secret rumor in the rivers and lakes that the human race killed the elf tribe overnight in order to snatch the elf clan's magic treasure jade pure bottle. ”
When the master heard about this, he realized that he had mistaken the slander and made a big mistake. Seriously injured and guilty, that's what ......"
"How can this be reasonable, I can't imagine that the master was hurt by someone, I must seek justice for the master. Lu Ming's eyes glared angrily, and he slammed his fist on the table.
"Senior brother, you are confused. Jiang Zikun gently reprimanded Lu Ming angrily, and said: "The master is chivalrous, and he knows that he has created evil fruits, and he will not be able to forgive himself in the end. It was precisely because we were afraid that we would avenge him and hide the truth of the matter that he ended up depressed. Before his death, the master repeatedly told him not to publicize this matter to the outside world, let alone avenge him. ”
"Alas. Why did the master do this? Lu Ming really couldn't swallow the evil breath in his chest, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's orders.
"Master, his old man has been running for the justice of the rivers and lakes all his life, but he has inadvertently created evil fruits, he knows that he is ashamed of the elf clan, and the pain in his heart is something you and I can understand, only by apologizing for his sins with death can he make his old man feel at ease. ”
Inside the room, the two were relatively silent and fell silent.
Outside, the stars gradually retreated in the white light of the fish's belly.
