Chapter Seventy-Four: The Nine Veins of the Lin Clan
Catching a glimpse of Lin Xiao's eyes, the Great Elder was shocked.
From Lin Xiao's eyes, he could read that at this moment, Lin Xiao's sense of belonging to the entire Lin clan was disappearing sharply, and the strangeness between the two was gradually increasing. Even he faintly felt that Lin Xiao had a deep disgust and hatred for the general line of the Lin clan.
"Not good. The Great Elder said secretly.
The emperor is the hope of the revival of the Lin clan, and once Lin Xiao's feelings for the general line of the Lin clan fade, the Lin clan will never have a chance to revivenation.
"The emperor is the only hope for the rise of our Lin clan. ”
This is the last sentence left by the ancestors of the Lin people, which always warns the descendants of the Lin people.
Counting, the emperor can also be regarded as the direct descendant of the ancestors of the Lin family, whether in the Lin family or in the clan mausoleum, the ancestors left things for Lin Xiao.
Therefore, in the Lin clan, the identity of the emperor is higher than that of the Lin patriarch. He is the descendant of the ancestors of the Lin people and represents the ancestors of the Lin people. He is the future of the Lin people and the hope of the revival of the Lin people.
Sighing, the Great Elder said, "Lin Xiao, don't get excited, I'll tell you the story of the Lin clan." If you still insist on doing this after listening to this story, I will not stop you, you can lead the Lin people of Qingshan County to leave here. ”
The Great Elder poured a cup of tea for Lin Xiao again, looked up at the spiritual seat placed on the ancestral hall of the Lin clan, and the pictures of memories opened up in his mind.
Since that incident three thousand years ago, the Lin clan has been frantically attacked by hostile forces. The three major god clans, the four great emperor clans, united to launch a hunt for the Lin clan on this continent.
At this time, the ancestor of the Lin clan was dead, and the Lin clan without Emperor Wu could not withstand the combined attack of the seven top forces, and the Lin clan began to retreat one after another.
Countless ancestors of the Lin clan fell in this earth-shattering battle of ghosts and gods, and the vitality of the Lin clan was greatly damaged.
Under duress, the ancestors of the Lin clan came up with a solution. Divide the Lin people into zero and withdraw from the Lin station, which is the prototype of the nine branches of the Lin tribe.
Even so, only one-third of the Lin people left the Lin station alive.
At this time, the high-level leaders of the Lin clan began to realize that if this continued, the Lin clan would disappear from the continent in a short time.
At that time, the patriarch of the Lin clan gave an order to save the Lin clan after looking at the overall situation.
Order: The Lin people who broke through in batches did not need to rush to the pre-agreed location, but found the opportunity to sneak around the continent and lurk to wait for the call of the Lin clan.
In this way, the Lin clan was divided into nine branches, one of which flowed to Qingshan County, which was the Lin clan of Qingshan County. Because it is close to the clan mausoleum and shoulders the task of protecting the clan mausoleum, this vein is also known as the tomb guarding vein.
Although this dispersed the power of the Lin clan, it later proved to be the best choice at that time. If they had rushed to the pre-agreed place at that time, there would have been no Lin clan now.
The seven major forces had already ambushed a large number of strong people there, and if the Lin clan rushed there, they would be thrown into the tiger's mouth.
However, the seven major forces did not let the Lin clan go because of the retreating people of the Lin clan, and they frantically searched for the whereabouts of the Lin clan. In the middle of this, countless Lin people were discovered and killed by the seven major forces.
At this time, the patriarch of the Lin clan at that time issued an order again.
Order: The main vein of the Lin clan was actively exposed, so as to cover the evacuation of the other eight veins.
In order to protect the other branches, the Lin Clan's general vein was exposed to the seven major forces. The ancestors of the Lin clan wandered around, constantly fighting with the seven major forces.
At this moment, the Lin clan burst out with a strong cohesion. No one is greedy for life or afraid of death, they go one after another, and they pay with their lives in order for the people of the other branches to successfully escape.
In this battle, the general line of the Lin clan suffered heavy losses, and the Martial Saints all fell twenty-eight, not to mention the disciples under the Martial Saints, and only one-tenth of the original ones survived in the end.
But their efforts paid off, and the other branches of the Lin eventually succeeded in infiltrating the continent.
They changed their names and surnames, and waited for the Lin clan to call. In this world today, the only people in the Lin clan who are still surnamed Lin are the Lin clan of Qingshan County and the general line of the Lin clan.
If it is said that in the past three thousand years, the best branch of the Lin clan is actually the Lin clan of Qingshan County. Although their strength was not good, they were hidden in the poor countryside, and no one thought that the Lin clan in Qingshan County would be the undead emperor clan that was once famous in this area.
Even they don't know that this is also the order of the Lin clan's general lineage. If a large number of strong people suddenly appear here, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the seven major forces.
Any of the nine branches can be exposed, but the Qingshan County branch cannot be exposed. Because behind them is the tomb of the Lin clan, which hides the biggest secret of the Lin clan.
Three thousand years with the advent of the ancestors of the Lin clan, the Lin clan is preparing a plan. The Great Elder is not very clear about the specific content of this plan, but he only knows that this plan is related to the revival of the Lin Clan.
When the nine branches were lurking, it was not until ten years later that the general line of the Lin clan found them and assigned them tasks, and they gradually emerged in front of the world.
At this time, the immortal emperor Lin clan of the year had already been a memory in everyone's minds.
And the only task of Qingshan County is to stay in Qingshan County and pay attention to the tomb of the middle clan in the Misty Mountain Range.
In order to better hide, except for the first generation of Qingshan County clansmen, the cultivation of the later Qingshan County Lin clansmen was restricted to martial spirits.
At the same time, in order to keep this lineage, the general line of the Lin clan will send people to protect the Lin clan of Qingshan County and prevent them from being wiped out by foreign forces.
These people are the great elders of the Lin clan over the years.
Over the past three thousand years, the general line of the Lin clan has appointed a total of more than a dozen great elders. These people dedicated their lives to the Lin clan of Qingshan County, silently guarding them.
"I am the last Great Elder of the Lin Clan in Qingshan County. Did you know that once you are chosen as a Great Elder, you are destined to have no feelings. When I was sent here, I was a young man in my twenties, with the same passion as everyone else. But I can't get married, have children, and live like everyone else. Do you know the pain of this? Even thirty years ago, my parents died in the main line of the Lin clan, and I couldn't rush back, and I was destined to be trapped in Qingshan County, which was less than a hundred miles away. ”
Speaking of this, the Great Elder had already cried into tears, and no one thought that a person like a guardian saint in the forest clan of Qingshan County would cry so miserably.
"I'm sorry. ”
After listening to the Lin clan's story, Lin Xiao regretted his previous attitude. Whatever the reason, he was not qualified to blame the Great Elder, an old man who had dedicated his life to the Lin clan of Qingshan County.
The Great Elder wiped tears from his eyes and continued, "In the past three thousand years, all the people of the Lin Clan have been working hard for the rise of the Lin Clan. I know you can't let go of the Lin clan in Qingshan County, but you can go to the other veins to take a look, go to the general vein of the Lin clan, and see how much they have paid for the Lin clan over the years. Two thousand years ago, the general line of the Lin clan evacuated in order to cover the other eight veins, and less than 100 of the more than 2,000 people survived in the end. But they have no regrets, and I have no regrets. I believe that for the great cause of the Lin people, all the Lin people will not hesitate. ”
Pictures flashed in Lin Xiao's mind, in which the efforts of the Lin people for the rise of the Lin people over the years were recorded. Compared to them, the grievances suffered by the Lin clan of Qingshan County are indeed nothing.
Of the more than 2,000 people, less than 100 survived, and the fierceness of the battle can be imagined.
These people are all heroes of the Lin Clan, and they are protecting the Lin Clan with their lives.
Lin Xiao took a sip and said, "They are all heroes of the Lin clan, and the Lin clan will always remember them." ”
As soon as the words changed, Lin Xiao continued: "What they did was not in vain, just take those ancestors of the Lin clan general lineage, with their help, the eight veins of the Lin clan finally survived. But have you thought about it, Great Elder? If we stay in Qingshan County, we will only die in vain, and it will not help at all. Where there is life, there is hope. Only if we are alive can we protect the family tomb. If we die, you're going to tell me who will guard the tomb?"
Lin Xiao asked the Great Elder one last question.
Yes, if all the people of the Lin clan in Qingshan County are dead, who will complete the mission of this lineage.
The Great Elder was silent for a long time and said, "What you said makes sense, you can lead the Lin Clan away." ”
Lin Xiao's heart was relieved, but he immediately realized the problem in his words and asked, "What about you, the Great Elder?"
The Great Elder suddenly took a sip of tea and said, "I am ordered to be here, and I will not leave without the order of the Patriarch. ”
"But ......"
Before Lin Xiao could persuade him, he was interrupted by the Great Elder: "The mission of this vein will be handed over to you, and I believe you will do better than me." ”
"What's the matter?"
Lin Xiao scolded in his heart.
He didn't expect the Great Elder to be so stubborn, he just refused to leave.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao's eyes flashed from his heart, and he scolded in his heart: "Why have you forgotten this stubble all the time." ”
I saw Lin Xiao slowly get up, look at the Great Elder, and say, "Lin Kui, a disciple of the Lin clan, listen to the order. ”
Lin Kui looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously, not knowing what trick Lin Xiao was going to do.
Lin Xiao straightened his clothes, then put his hands behind his back, and said, "I order you as the emperor to lead the Lin clan of Qingshan County to withdraw from Qingshan County. ”
