Chapter 20: The Past: Jingyun Continent
A long time ago, the world was divided into eight parts, and the land they supported was called the Jingyun Continent.
Among the Xuanmen families, the Golden Sword Villa of the Golden Slash, the Five Elements Gate of Cheng Ming, the Misty Villa of the Discussion Water, the Hongyi Gate of Xiao Ze, the Absolute Dust Castle of Nan Rongjin, the Sleepless City of Helian Lingsuo, the Netherworld Demon Palace of Su Yanlin, and the Dragon and Phoenix City of Zhou Dingkun, these eight clans stand side by side in the world, and they are divided into courts, and the rest of the small sects are attached to the eight clans.
The various ethnic groups get along well, and the sects have close contacts with each other and are very friendly.
Especially Zhou Dingkun and his Dragon and Phoenix City, the clansmen are very diligent in cultivating under the cultivation of the city lord, and over time, they naturally have more powerful abilities than the other seven clans.
In addition, Dragon and Phoenix City is located in the bamboo forest peak with abundant spiritual power, which can be described as unique. Gradually, some clansmen in Longfeng City began to develop superiority and pride, and there were even bold people who instigated Zhou Dingkun to be the master of Jingyun Continent.
The world is safe now, Zhou Dingkun feels satisfied, and has no other thoughts that he shouldn't have. Until one day, he got the treasure given by the ancient holy beast Taiyin Youying-Jade Feather.
On the surface, this object looks no different from other beautiful jade, but it contains enough power to destroy the world - Xuanning Divine Power.
If someone is destined to crack the secret of Jade Ling, they can obtain Xuanning divine power, so as to unify the Jingyun Continent and become the co-master of the world.
Taiyin Youying originally took a fancy to Zhou Dingkun's pure and kind character, but because of this, he and the clansmen of Longfeng City planted a curse......
Cheng Ming of the Five Elements Gate, Xiao Ze of the Hongyi Gate, Su Yanlin of the Netherworld Demon Palace, and the Misty Mountain Villa's Discussion Water, the four of them gathered together for a long time, discussing how to take the Xuanning Divine Power for their own use.
Even if Zhou Dingkun has an excellent character, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not worry about the sky.
All the leaders were worried that Zhou Dingkun, who was already powerful, would use this power to annex his family. When the four clans failed to contact the other three clans, they still chose to strike first.
They agreed that after forcing Zhou Dingkun to hand over the Jade Feather, they would continue to exterminate the other three clans, and the four of them would jointly dominate the Jingyun Continent and share the secrets of the Jade Feather.
After several days of planning, a horrific slaughter unfolded in the calm world.
Dragon and Phoenix City, which was unguarded, was killed by the four clans in this way. The entire Jingyun City was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, which lasted for more than a month before it gradually subsided.
The leaders of the four clans did not find Yuling on Zhou Dingkun, and in anger, they killed him.
However, when the corpse was examined, the crowd found an anomaly...... The corpses of all the clansmen in Longfeng City are there, even Zhou Dingkun and his wife have not been spared, except for two babbling children - his son Zhou Sumo and nephew who was only three days old.
There was no time to clean up the other three clans as originally planned, and the four searched with great fanfare for several days, but neither Yuling nor the two children were found.
Soon after, a handwritten letter from Zhou Dingkun suddenly circulated widely.
Everyone knew that what he wanted in his heart was nothing more than peace in the four seas and peace in the world, and the secret Jade Ling Ye had been discarded by him and disappeared, because he didn't want to see people's hearts panic, let alone the eight clans that coexisted in harmony because of this.
Xuan Condensation's divine power was not without temptation to him, but he didn't want to stand alone.
Prosperous times need embellishment, and troubled times also need people to atone for their sins.
Gradually, the other four clans, who were ashamed of the other three clans, began to be suspicious of each other, and they all believed that the people of the other three clans hid Yuling and the two children in their own hands in order to monopolize the power of Xuanning's divine power.
Soon, a war was ignited again, and it was provoked by the four good brothers who had worked closely together and even threatened to share the world.
Seeing that the Demon Emperor Su Yanlin was about to be defeated, Nan Rongjin, who had a trace of kindness in his heart, couldn't help but help. Although Su Yanlin and his clansmen were lucky to save their lives, they still couldn't get rid of the name of their defeated generals.
History has always been written by the victors.
The disaster of the extermination of the dragon and phoenix city was all blamed on Su Yanlin alone, and everyone unanimously said that they were bewitched by him to make mistakes, and they had already regretted it.
Since someone took the blame, the partners easily picked themselves up, and in order to whitewash the peace, Xiao Ze even went to great lengths to find Zhou Dingkun's nephew to be accepted as a true disciple.
The word "demon" has since become synonymous with evil forces. People equate this word with evil spirits and monsters. The mention of "demons" can often make people frightened and shudder.
As the years passed, the old things were gradually forgotten.
Zhou Dingkun's son was also found by Jin in the passage of time, and it was Zhou Sumo. This was the first twenty years of his life, and it was in this year that he met Xuan Weiyi.
"Brother, everyone has gone to breakfast, why are you sitting alone in the library to read "Heavenly Divine Chronicles"?"
Hearing Zhou Yuling's call, Zhou Sumo slowly closed the book in his hand: "If you have nothing to do, just take a look." ”
Zhou Yuling is handsome and talented, with a high level of understanding, and is the best among the children of the family. It's just that his senior brother Nie Wuhuan is quite a bit more capable of leadership, so it covers his light.
He is the only person in the world who is related to Zhou Sumo by blood, and the two are naturally close and have nothing to talk about.
After slowly sitting next to Zhou Sumo, Zhou Yuling pointed to the book with a smile and began to preach: "Jinzhuang's major is profound, as long as you follow him well, you will one day cultivate into an immortal, these things are better to see less." ”
Zhou Sumo replied indifferently: "I never thought of becoming an immortal and a god, but I can't wait that long, I want to get what belongs to us as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Yuling's eyes widened suddenly: "Could it be that my brother is referring to Yuling? Didn't Yuling disappear with the death of my uncle a long time ago? I also had the idea of looking for Yuling, but the master said......"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Sumo made a "shhhh ”
"Brother, why are you always prejudiced against my master......" Zhou Yuling held his forehead a little helplessly.
Every time it is mentioned that Hongyi Gate is related, the brothers' opinions will be skewed.
Jin Slash is not Xiao Ze, he told the truth about the destruction of Longfeng City early in the morning, Zhou Sumo naturally hated them very much, and he couldn't wait to peel them up and erode their bones, and break their bones and scatter ashes.
The open-minded Zhou Yuling really thought that Xiao Ze was bewitched by Su Yanlin at that time, plus the grace of raising him, so he had no resentment towards him.
But Zhou Yuling is his brother after all, and he can't deprive his brother of the right to express his thoughts, he can let him say whatever he wants! Anyway, he won't lose two pieces of meat.
Zhou Sumo was angry when he saw him defending Xiao Ze, and couldn't help but mention: "Do you really think that Su Yanlin has the ability to destroy a city? He is a bad person, but there are always people who are worse than him." I won't let go of Su Yanlin, and I won't let go of those who are worse than him. ”
As if coaxing a child, Zhou Yuling reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "At that time, can my brother let my master go?"
Zhou Sumo snorted lightly and said, "For the sake of him raising you for the Zhou family, I will definitely leave him a whole corpse." ”
Closing the book with a "snap", Zhou Sumo stretched lazily: "I will go on a long trip in the near future, you will come to me first this time, and you will run for nothing." ”
"Where is my brother?" Zhou Yuling hurriedly asked.
Zhou Sumo replied while tidying up his clothes: "I found out the news about Yuling, and I'm going to go out to try my luck." ”
"Brother's itinerary, I will definitely keep it secret!"
"Good brother, I didn't hurt you in vain! remember to help my brother hand over the letter in the book to my master. ”
Zhou Sumo had just stepped out of the Golden Sword Villa on his front foot, and Jin Chop received the letter on his back foot, and the whole article could be described as a mixture of joy and sorrow.
He and Zhou Dingkun are close friends, and it is understandable to raise his son for him and teach him to avenge him, but there are many enemies and they are all scheming masters.
Now that he is out looking for Jade Ling, he just hopes that he can rely on the secret inside him to cultivate immortals and become enlightened as soon as possible, and if he gets strong enough, he will not be afraid of those bad people.
But he was worried that Zhou Sumo would follow in his father's footsteps, and the saying that the husband was innocent and guilty was still reasonable. It's a good thing that he holds the jade feather in his hand, and if he is remembered by the thieves before the secret is broken, I am afraid that it will lead to another bloody storm.
As if seeing his worries, Zhou Yuling asked softly: "If my brother really got the jade feather, wouldn't it be good to hide it from the world?"
"Do you want to hide it?" Jin Chu spread his hands helplessly, but his eyes were full of expectations for the apprentice.
After suffocating in the library for several months, Zhou Sumo was about to get moldy, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, and only tied Yuling to him, for fear that he would miss the opportunity if he was not careful.
It can be said that there is no coincidence that there is no book, and you can feel the spirit of Yuling when you eat xiaolongbao on the street.
Chasing that meager qi all the way, I unconsciously came to the Five Elements Gate.
Taking advantage of the night to climb over the wall, Zhou Sumo figured out that these things with eyes and beads regarded jade feathers as ordinary white jade, and made jade and wore them on the body of Cheng Ming's beloved son Cheng Yunjing.
Zhou Sumo couldn't help frowning: "Cheng Ming, this bastard son is the most stingy, even if it is an ordinary piece of white jade, I am afraid it is not easy to ask for it, and I have no treasures to exchange...... How can I make him willingly hand over Jade Ling?"
After three days of stalking but never finding anything, Zhou Sumo, who was hungry in his stomach, was not in a hurry, so he simply settled down in the restaurant: "If you come, you will be safe, I will fill my stomach first and then find a way." ”
Before he sat down on the stool, before he could talk to the shopkeeper, he heard the customer at the next table shouting loudly.
A young man dressed as a boy looks very cynical, and a group of young minions are snatching his granddaughter from an old begging man at the direction of his master.
The old man didn't obey, the girl cried and was sad, and the brother of the young man in Huashang instigated his subordinates to beat the old man inhumanely.
