In the Qingfeng Hall of the Ethereal Mountain, the two insiders who had just passed the assessment took over their new green clothes and headbands with excited faces, and after the Great Elder taught them earnestly, he waved them down to learn about the affairs that the insiders were responsible for on weekdays.

After there were only ten elders left in Qingfeng Hall, the petite and lovely Sixth Elder stood up and asked in a coquettish voice: "Why did you deliberately disqualify Qingge, I see that he is quite good, and he has made great progress in a year, and now his strength seems to be on par with me, he is really a genius." ”

The fifth elder was also a little incomprehensible, and also asked, "Big brother, is it because Qinghe is implicated in him?" ”

The Great Elder touched his snow-white beard and shook his head, squinted his eyes and smiled: "No, no, no, in fact, I am quite optimistic about this kid Qingge, but his temperament still needs to be honed and honed more, he is really too arrogant, and he is making rapid progress, he is simply a rare immortal cultivation wizard in a thousand years, such a person must go through some setbacks, otherwise it will not be good for his future growth if it is too smooth." ”

"I see, but will this hurt his self-confidence?" The five elders understood.

"No, I'll observe and observe more, and there is one thing I still have doubts in my heart, he almost died under the Demon Dao Sword a year ago, and after being rescued, his temperament has changed greatly and his qualifications have become strange, I have some concerns in my heart, this time I plan to go down the mountain to clear out the people in the Demon Dao, and I happen to bring him with me, so it is convenient to observe at any time."

The Great Elder's eyes narrowed, but there was a glint of wisdom in his eyes, and the others had no objections.

Six years later.

The red candle flame flickered, the black-robed man kneeling on the ground reverently prostrated to the ground, and the Demon Venerable Qingcang was dressed in a black robe with his back to everyone, and there was a one-meter-square pool in front of him, which was filled with red, viscous liquid, which looked like blood.

"Bring the Holy Maiden here." Demon Venerable Qingcang's words were cold without a trace of emotion, Ruolan, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly turned around and took the little hand of the holy woman from the hands of the other black-robed messengers, this hand was white and tender, and the hand was extremely smooth.

The little girl, who was only seven years old, did not panic at all on this occasion, her white and tender little face was hidden under the black hood, bowing her head and letting Ruolan hold her hand, her petite body was straight under the black robe.

"Start the ritual." Under Qing Cang's order, Ruolan took off the black hood of the saint, revealing a white and tender little face with baby fat inside, the saint's eyes looked black and bright, the red candle flame was shining and dancing under her eyes, and there was a black-robed person kneeling on the ground in front of her, but her expression was surprisingly calm.

"How many more times?" The saint's childish but calm voice sounded, and she raised her little face to look at Qingcang.

"Until you reach adulthood, these are the murderers of your mother and them, and their blood will be used to wash your menstrual marrow and remove the toxins from your body." Qing Cang explained.

And the holy woman had already taken off her black robe, and with the support of the witch doctor Ruolan, she naturally slowly walked into the pool of blood that was still warm, the blood in the pool of blood did not pass her feet, her entire body, and finally did not stop until her neck, leaving only a white and tender little face outside, but her expression was calm, and the smell of blood and the sense of oppression in the pool of blood did not seem to have any effect on her.

Qing Cang nodded with satisfaction, and as the red-clothed envoy on the side recited a sacrificial word in a strange tone, the rest of the black cannon envoys who knelt down on the ground began to bow in the direction of the holy woman.

And the saintess in the blood pool, with big black eyes, just looked at these people, her expression was calm, not happy or sad, she seemed to be accustomed to this, and the little person who was only seven years old seemed to have experienced a lot.

Ruolan was also in the crowd of kneeling down, she didn't dare to look up, but she still felt inexplicably sad when she thought of the unbearable smell of blood, not to mention that there were other things added to the blood pool.

The ceremony ended after a quarter of an hour, and the blood-stained saint was picked up by Ruolan holding her hand, and Qing Cang looked at the saint, who happened to be looking at him as well.

"Linlang is good, Daddy knows it's uncomfortable, but Daddy can't do anything in order to cure the disease." Qing Cang's words were much warmer.

The blood on the saint's body was dripping down, and she shook her head and said, "Linlang knows, I will be very well-behaved." ”

At this moment, other black-robed envoys ran in quickly, looking at the scene in front of them and stopped talking, as if they had something to report, and Qing Cang saw this and said, "If there is anything to report, report it directly." ”

"Back to the Lord, the Xuanwu City branch was hit hard, and the altar master Xu Mu was captured by the Nie clan."

The black-robed envoys who were kneeling on the ground and were about to speak in unison suddenly became in an uproar.

Qing Cang frowned and snorted coldly, "Captured alive? ”

"Yes, he was captured alive, but fortunately, he took the secret medicine, and he should have died before he had time to say anything, and my exact news has not yet come back."

"Nie? Who did it? Great Elder Nie Han? ”

"Tell the lord, it is a disciple of the inner gate of the Nie clan, and his subordinates have inquired, and his name is Nie Qingge."

"Inner disciple? It's really a joke, Xu Mu's cultivation must be the strength of the elders if he wants to capture him alive, and the Nie family actually captured him alive with a random inner disciple, is the Nie family too powerful, or have you started to slack off all these years by relying on the birth of a saint? ”

The majestic cold snort carried a thick coercion, and all the black-robed people in the audience immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Seeing this, the holy woman looked around and asked with some curiosity, "Who is the Nie family?" ”

The crisp words with some milk tones made Qing Cang's anger drop down a little, and he turned his head and instructed Ruolan: "Take the holy girl down to recuperate first, as for the Nie family...... It's time for you to tell her, too. ”

Ruolan hurriedly led the saint and bowed to leave, and red candles were burning around the long black corridor, and the shadows of the people were swaying on all sides between the candle flames, like ghosts.

"Nurse, tell me what the Nie family is?"

"Nie family......" Ruolan was silent for a moment and then continued: "I'll tell you when I go back." ”

The saint immediately nodded obediently and stopped asking, her mature and steady appearance did not look like a little girl who was only seven years old at all, but she had not changed her clothes after the ceremony, and the blood on her body dragged out a long trail from behind her, and no one on the guards along the way looked sideways, and she seemed to have long been accustomed to this.

After returning to the residence of the two of them, although it was also a dark and dreary room, the saint's behavior was much more relaxed, and after the witch doctor Ruolan had made a large bucket of water for her, she couldn't wait to shed her bloody black robe and jump in.

The blood, which had been somewhat dry, spread as the water streaks stirred up one by one, and the saint happily poured water on her body with her little hands, wanting to wash the blood away as soon as possible.

"Lady Ruolan, tell me what the Nie family is now?" The milky voice continued to ask, but the tone was much more cheerful than when he was in the main hall.

"You grew up here since you were a child, and you haven't gone out, so you don't know what's going on outside, in this world, it's not just our Red Lotus Holy Sect, there are other families, like me...... My real name is Xiao Ruolan, and I was originally a disciple of the Xiao clan in the Elixir Valley, but ......"

Ruolan said and spoke, a look of remembrance appeared in his eyes, he suddenly sighed, smiled and said: "Don't mention this, let me tell you about the few big families outside, the Nie family is talking about the immortal cultivation family on the ethereal mountain, the clansmen of their clan are all surnamed Nie, even if they are not the children of the surname Nie, they must change their surname to Nie if they are sent there, that is also the most powerful immortal cultivation family, and the current number of people has reached tens of thousands." ”

"Does the Nie family have to be followed by someone else's surname? But what does it matter what the surname is, I said that my surname is Lin, and there doesn't seem to be anyone with the same surname as me in this holy religion! "The Holy Maiden was in the bathtub with an ordinary splash, and now the whole tub has turned red.

"Because you're special, you're a saint! Of course it is unique, let me continue to tell you, in addition to this Nie family, there are several major families, all of them are immortal cultivation families, and they are very strong, only a little weaker than the Nie family, including the Xiao family of the elixir valley, the Yin family of Xuanwu City, and the Yan family of Bibo Pavilion, they are currently called the four major families, and there are still some small families, you can slowly understand them in the future. ”

Ruolan patiently explained to the girl, helping her clean the blood stains on her body as she spoke, and carried her out of the bathtub with a black robe, turned around and poured the filthy water in the bathtub, and refilled the bucket after a while.

The Holy Maiden Linlang pondered for a while, and after getting into the bathtub again, she continued to ask, "What about the Yin family...... What is the family? ”

Ruolan's heart jumped inexplicably, but she still replied with her scalp: "Xuanwu City Yin family...... It's your mother's family, but because she fell in love with your father, the family couldn't tolerate her, and then when you were born, your mother died. ”

"Why can't the family tolerate her? Was it the mother who did something wrong? ”

"This ...... The Yin family prides itself on being a righteous family, and judges our Red Lotus Holy Sect as a demon sect, and since ancient times, they can't stand on the other, so they shout and kill us. Ruolan lowered her head, only busy helping the leftover girl continue to clean the blood stains on her body, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

"What a hassle! So they're going to kill my mother? Why do you want to kill and kill, it's clearly a good life, don't you say it's Ruolan Niang? The saint shook her head and said she couldn't understand.

"My little saintess, you are still young, this world is not as simple as you think, you will know later, let me tell you about the things that the major families are good at, for example, your mother's family, the Yin family, is very good at defense, even if the cultivation is much higher than theirs, it is difficult to break through their defenses; As for my former family, the Xiao family, is good at curing diseases and saving people; There is also Bibo Xie Yan's clan, who is good at assassination and assassination, and it is very troublesome to be elusive; The strongest Nie clan is good at fighting head-on, and his strength is strong. ”

The saint blinked her eyes as if she didn't understand, and suddenly asked, "What about us?" What are we in the Red Lotus Holy Sect good at? ”

Ruolan was caught off guard by the question for a while, and after thinking about it, she really didn't know how to answer, so she snorted and said: "We, we are all good at these, and we are also very powerful, so their big families are very jealous of us!" ”

"Really?" The saint blinked in acknowledgement.

Ruolan was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at the big eyes of the saint, but coughed twice and said, "The water is a little cold, I'll help you wipe it and change into clean clothes." ”
