Volume 2 Chapter 37: The Origin of the Three-Eyed Clan
"Nani?!"
Lin Peng thought that he had misheard, and confirmed it to Ye Jingfeng again.
"You heard it right, it's going to be very inconvenient to move around with this thing, and you'll probably run out of energy after a few trips back and forth. But it's okay, I'll make you something to eat when you bring back the firewood. The ingredients are mainly meat, and those who practice martial arts must first strengthen their physique! After their physique is strong, their spirit and spirit will come out. During this time in the enchantment, your food will not be bad. β
"I got it....."
After listening to Ye Jingfeng's words, Lin Peng finally felt that his work was a little meaningful.
The following week, Lin Peng began his life of chopping wood. Ye Jingfeng is right, these iron rings are indeed very inconvenient to move after wearing them. Lin Peng ran back and forth a few times, but he was too tired to walk. However, this back and forth exercise made him sweat a lot, and the fat on his body was lost at once, and the whole person lost weight. In addition, Ye Jingfeng fed meat at every meal, and after a week, Lin Peng's whole person felt a lot stronger.....
"It's so quiet....."
After finishing a day's work, at night, Lin Peng sat silently on the top of the mountain alone, looking at the sky that was gradually darkening in the distance. The bonfire next to him has become the only rhythm of "life" in this space, making a crackling sound.
It's incredible, I didn't expect this place to be the same as the outside world, there is day and night.....
Lin Peng looked at the sinking sun, suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a black necklace from his clothes, and held it up in front of his eyes.
Where are you now? How are you doing?.....
......
Dugu Shuqin sat alone in the room, silently watching the sunset outside the window, with a rare trace of sadness in her eyes.
Before I knew it, half a year had passed..... Have I been under house arrest for so long since I was brought back here from China by my father? I don't know what the situation is like outside, but I guess it won't take too long. But at least, I hope he's doing well.....
"What are you doing now?" Lin Peng .....
Dugu Shuqin looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, as if talking to herself, as if she was talking to herself.....
......
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind him, Lin Peng looked back, and saw Ye Jingfeng walking towards him with a large bag of mutton for barbecue.
"Master....."
Lin Peng saw Ye Jingfeng coming over, and quickly put the necklace back.
"And then, your dinner. β
Ye Jingfeng said, waved his big hand, and threw the bag in his hand towards Lin Peng.
"Hmm....."
Lin Peng: I didn't expect it to be quite heavy.....
"How do you feel now?"
"Well, I feel like I'm getting used to it. β
In the past few days, according to Ye Jingfeng's requirements, Lin Peng has even carried these iron rings to sleep and take a bath, and has already turned these iron rings into a part of his body. Now I don't have as much difficulty as I did at the beginning.
"Well, what were you thinking about just now?"
Ye Jingfeng nodded, sat next to Lin Peng, and asked with concern.
"Nothing... It's just that it's been a long time since I've watched the sunset so quietly as now, and I accidentally got out of my mind....."
Lin Peng said with a smile.
"Really?"
Ye Jingfeng raised his head and looked at the gradually sinking sun with Lin Peng. He took out a wine gourd, opened the lid of the gourd, and took a sip of wine.
"Why did you come to Wudang?"
"Because... I'm going to meet someone....."
"See someone?!"
Ye Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, and asked with some curiosity.
"Uh-huh....."
So, while eating barbecue, Lin Peng briefly told Ye Jingfeng about his experience and coming.
"Hahahaha!"
After listening to Lin Peng's narration, Ye Jingfeng suddenly laughed on his back.
"Boy! You really don't have a lot of guts! You actually want to play the field of the seventh brother! Do you know who Dugu Shangjun is?!"
"I know, even so... I'm going too! I'll see her! Otherwise, I'll not be willing to die!"
Lin Peng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of stubbornness and determination.
"Interesting... It's been a long time since I've seen a kid like you. Today's young people are too obedient to speak after a few lessons. I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to think about it. If a young man is not arrogant and impulsive, then what is a young man?!"
Ye Jingfeng said, suddenly stood up and raised the True Martial Sword in his hand.
"In Wudang, the people who held the true martial sword in the past generations were called 'boundary keepers'. The mission of the 'Guardian of the Realm' is only one, and that is to protect the 'Realm' and the True Martial Realm. And once you become a 'boundary keeper', you can't leave the 'pure void' for half a step until a replacement person appears. My last 'Boundary Keeper' was my uncle, Elder Zong Ming. And Elder Zong Ming's last 'Boundary Keeper' was Dugu Shangjun!"
"Dugu Shangjun used to be the 'guardian of the realm' of this true martial arts realm?!"
Lin Peng asked in surprise.
"That's right, being able to hold the status of 'Guardian of the Realm' at his age can only be qualified at the elder level, which shows how strong his strength is. So, if you really want to go to the Seventh Brother Territory to ask for someone, you have to be mentally prepared, I will strengthen your training intensity. β
"The moment I never came to Wudang... I've already thought about it!"
Lin Peng stared at Ye Jingfeng's eyes, without the slightest confusion and timidity in his eyes.
"Very good ~ tomorrow morning, go to a place with me. β
Ye Jingfeng saw the fire in Lin Peng's eyes again, very much like himself when he was young.....
The next day, Ye Jingfeng did not let Lin Peng cut down the tree again, but took him all the way towards one of the peaks of the seventy-two peaks.
"Master... Where are we going?!"
Lin Peng followed behind Ye Jingfeng and asked curiously.
"Did you know that each of the seventy-two peaks here has a cave?"
Ye Jingfeng did not answer Lin Peng's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Caves?"
"That's right, what I'm going to take you to right now is one of these caves. β
"This cave... Is there anything special about it?"
Lin Peng asked.
"Hehehe... You'll know when you get there. β
Ye Jingfeng did not directly answer Lin Peng's question, but sold a lawsuit slightly.
"Alright, this is it. β
Suddenly, Ye Jingfeng stopped, raised his head and said.
"ThisβThis is ?!....."
.....
"Junior Tu Su, meet Zhang Zhenren!"
In the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Tu Su and his entourage finally arrived at the Three Provinces Hall.
"Tu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat. Tingxuan, pour tea for the two guests. β
Zhang Yuting stood up, his face full of spring breeze, and said with a smile.
"Yes, Tu Zhenren, please use tea. β
A young Taoist priest beside Zhang Yuting brought two cups of hot tea and said to Tu Su and Liu Xian.
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Tu Su hurriedly reached out and took the tea, he didn't expect the other party to call himself like this.
"Hehe, Tu Gongzi doesn't need to see outside. In my Taoism, those who open their eyes to the eyes of heaven need to call them 'real people', which is the rule set by the ancestors. β
Zhang Yuting saw Tu Su looking flattered, and said with a smile.
"Heavenly Master, I heard that it seems that the patriarch of the Zhang family (the founder of Taoism - Zhang Daoling) is also the eye-opener of the eye of the sky. β
Liu Xian, who was on the side, seemed to remember something and asked.
"That's right, so the successive Tianyan openers are all our Taoist honored guests. The highest pursuit of our Taoism is the realm of 'unity between heaven and man'."
Zhang Yuting nodded, raised a finger pen and said.
"Heavenly Master, forgive the younger generation for being presumptuous. The Zhang family doesn't seem to have the bloodline of the Three-Eyed Clan, right?"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Tu Su seemed to be a little puzzled and asked.
"Hehe, this involves some secrets of our Zhang family... It's inconvenient for me to talk to Childe in detail. β
Zhang Yuting saw that Tu Su had asked the key point of the question at once, and hurriedly stopped.
"No, no, no, it's the younger generation who is talking too much, and I ask the Heavenly Master not to suggest it. β
Seeing this, Tu Su hurriedly apologized.
"Ting Xuan! β
Zhang Yuting stretched out his hand and summoned the young Taoist priest to his side.
"Let me introduce you to the two of you, this is my eldest grandson - Zhang Tingxuan. β
Zhang Yuting smiled and opened the topic.
"Zhang Gongzi is so handsome. β
Liu Xian complimented on the side.
"It's over, Tingxuan, you go to the backyard, I have something to say to the two guests. β
Zhang Yuting waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Tingxuan to step back.
"Yes, Grandpa. β
Zhang Tingxuan said hello to Tu Su and Liu Xian, and obediently withdrew from the Three Provinces Hall.
"Heavenly Master, you must already know the purpose of our visit this time, right?"
Liu Xian saw that the time was ripe, and asked urgently.
"Yes, don't worry, since I have promised Ling Zun, I will definitely teach Tu Gongzi well. β
Zhang Yuting said, turning his gaze to Tu Su again.
"Since Tu Gongzi just mentioned the 'Three-Eyed Clan', then I want to ask, do you know which branch the 'Three-Eyed Clan' originated from?"
"This ....."
Tu Su was slightly stunned, he really hadn't understood Zhang Tingxuan's problem, and he hadn't heard his father talk about it.
"Well, since I met Childe today, it was also fate. I'll just explain it to you briefly, and that's something you need to know. β
Zhang Yuting saw that Tu Su couldn't answer, so he said with a smile.
"The Three-Eyed Clan has two major surnames, one is the surname Tu and the other is the surname Zou. These two surnames were gradually formed after the victory of the Yellow Emperor Zhuolu in that year. β
"This... I've heard of it. β
Tu Su nodded and said.
"Well, but. If you go back further, when the Yanhuang tribe has not yet merged, which branch of the Three-Eyed Clan came from?"
"This..."
Tu Su was stunned by the question all of a sudden, the question Zhang Yuting asked, he had never thought about it!
"Actually, go back to the roots. The Three-Eyed Clan was originally a member of the Jiuli Clan. β
"Jiuli Clan?!"
Tu Su seemed to remember something, and suddenly exclaimed.
