Chapter 44 The Five Great Families of the Southern Wilderness
Three days passed in a hurry, and today was the day of the Four Domains Conference, which was a big event for the Four Domains, but not for Luo Qing.
However, in order to deal with the occurrence of emergencies, Luo Qing still felt that it was worth one point to increase his strength, so in the past three days, he had completely condensed the poison sigil successfully.
Before the sky was clear, the entire Southern Regions City had already begun to be lively, the city patrol guards were patrolling vigilantly in armor, the Nangong family had set up a tent at the city gate two days ago, in order to welcome some forces that had arrived in advance, and the merchants were also busy and opened the doors of the shops early.
The most lively is the streets and alleys, the small vendors are busy coming and going, noodle stalls, bun stalls, in short, all kinds of food stalls are everything, even the owner of the wonton stall on the street not far from Tianxianglou is also shouting early in the morning, scolding his son for being lazy and not coming to help.
Looking at the lively but solemn picture around him, Ning Que couldn't help but smile, thinking that this was the first time he had encountered such a grand event, looking at the snow that had not yet completely melted in the mountains and streams in the distance.
As the sky gradually brightened, Luo Qing had already returned to his room, there were still two or three hours before the start of the conference, he didn't like to wander around stupidly outside, suddenly the door opened, but saw Hongxia personally push a small cart of breakfast in.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Hongxia put the breakfast on the table in the room one by one, made a gesture of please, and asked Luo Qing to come over for dinner.
Luo Qing smiled and said: "It's strange, you actually brought me breakfast in person, but before sending it, did you think that this amount is a bit too much, I don't have such a big appetite alone." ”
Hongxia looked at Luo Qing and said, "You want to be beautiful, I just suddenly wanted you to have breakfast with me, so I brought you a copy by the way, I really thought I was here to serve you?"
"How dare you let the owner of Tianxianglou serve me exactly, this is really wronged, come, or I will serve you, open your mouth, I will feed you." Luo Qing smiled and deliberately quipped.
"Oh, it's boring!" Hongxia covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "What are your plans for today?" Do you want to enter the market directly, or do you want to see the situation before showing up?"
"Don't be in a hurry to enter the venue, his Nangong family doesn't have such a big face to let my Luo family be there immediately. Luo Qing looked at Hongxia and said, "It's better to see the situation before showing up, I have passed the book home three days ago, and the people of my Luo family should have arrived, but they are estimated to stay in the dark and wait for the opportunity, if you want to show up, it would be good to have me alone." ”
"That's good, the people of my Tianxianglou won't enter the venue for the time being, and when it comes to the critical time, I will come out to support you. Hongxia looked at Luo Qing and said softly.
"It's okay, you will play behind me, anyway, now that our Luo, Li and Tianxianglou families are already on the same front, although I have not contacted the Qi family, but if they want to appear, they will also be on my side." Luo Qing said.
"I didn't expect you to be able to endure a lot, it seems that you haven't done anything, but in fact, you have already united the strongest forces in the four domains. Hongxia looked at Luo Qing with admiration.
"Are there some of the strongest forces in the Four Regions? I haven't been to the Western Regions and the Northern Regions, so aren't there any stronger forces in these two regions?" Luo Qing asked Hongxia with some curiosity.
"Alas... I really don't know how to say hello!" Hongxia shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said: "The strongest force in the Northern Regions is my Hong family, Tianxianglou is just a branch of the Hong family, and the strongest in the Western Regions is the Murong family, and the departure from the Eastern Regions is only a branch of the Murong family in the Western Regions. ”
Listening to Hongxia's narration, Luo Qing also felt quite shocked, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said, "Hiss... It turns out that the relationship between the four domains is so complicated, so tell me about it, what else I don't know. ”
"You don't know much, such as the five major families of the Southern Wilderness, and for example, in addition to the four regions of the east, west, north and south, there is also a legend about the middle region, how much do you know?" Hongxia looked at Luo Qing and said softly.
"There are so many stories in this Southern Wilderness, I have never heard of them!" At this time, Luo Qing's face was full of surprise.
Hongxia looked at Luo Qing's face full of surprise, laughed out loud with a "poof", and then continued: "If you have time, you can go to our Red House in the Northern Regions, there is the No. 1 library in the Southern Wilderness, you should also go to make up for some things." ”
"Don't worry, it's still very early to meet your parents!" Luo Qing quipped to Hongxia.
"You little bastard, you can't have a proper shape, I'll tell you the right thing!" Hongxia said angrily.
Luo Qing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then you can continue, and tell me the legends of the five major families of the Southern Wilderness and the Central Domain." ”
So Hongxia continued: "The five major families of the Southern Wilderness are actually the five major families of Luo, Hong, Qi, Murong, and Shantai, and these five families have been passed down in ancient times, which means that your Luo family and our Hong family belong to the ancient family. ”
"In fact, the five major families were sent to guard the Southern Wilderness, as for what to guard, because it is too long, so there is no way to study, but maybe it is the mission of the town, so tens of thousands of years have passed, even if it has declined, but each family can still be continued. ”
"In your last sentence, how do I feel a little prickly!" Luo Qing gave Hongxia a roll of his eyes.
Hongxia smiled: "Isn't it?Your Luo family has been in decline for hundreds of years, but no one has been able to extinguish your family's inheritance, do you think there is no external force in this situation?"
Hearing this, Luo Qing fell into deep thought, although what Hongxia said was incredible, but it was not unreasonable, Luo Qing was born to know, and he also saw the situation of the Luo family since he was a child, with the situation of the Luo family back then, there were many forces that were enough to destroy their inheritance, but the Luo family has been continuing well.
Looking at Luo Qing, who was deep in thought, Hongxia smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of luck the Luo family had, but it ushered in you, the little devil, and as a result, the declining Luo family began to prosper, and it became the head of the four." ”
Hearing this, Luo Qing was stunned and said, "Wait a minute, why did you say the head of the four families, not the head of the five?"
"I also want to say that the head of the five families, but the Tantai family is just like the Middle Domain, it is a legend, and the Tantai family has never appeared, so it's not clear whether such a family really exists!" Hongxia said.
"It stands to reason that since there is such a legend as the five major families of the Southern Wilderness, and the other four families all really exist, then the Tantai family should also be real, otherwise it is impossible to spread the legend of this five families for no reason. ”
Luo Qing thought for a moment and said: "According to the division of each family in the four domains, it should be that several major families each guard a domain, and the Luo, Hong, Qi, and Murong families have all four of them, so the middle domain should be the Tangtai family guarding the town, and the Tangtai family seems to have never existed except for appearing in the literature, so there is only one possibility left." ”
Hearing Luo Qing say this, Hongxia was also a little curious, so she asked, "What is possible?"
Luo Qing smiled and said softly, "The Tantai family disappeared with the disappearance of the Central Domain. ”
"Didn't you say a word of nonsense!" Hongxia glanced at Luo Qing and said: "This kind of conjecture has already been proposed, and some people have gone to look for the Middle Domain, and some people even thought that the Middle Domain was in the center of the core area of the Demon Beast Forest, but the people who went to look for it not only didn't find anything, but instead made a lot of casualties, and no one mentioned it since." ”
"It's not impossible to say that it's in the center of the Demon Beast Forest, because so far, no one has really entered the real center of the Demon Beast Forest, and no one knows what the place is inside. ”
Luo Qing smiled and continued: "Moreover, if you can't find it, it doesn't mean that it really doesn't exist, maybe the opportunity hasn't arrived, maybe the person who is looking for it is not capable enough, and maybe it shouldn't be found by that person at all!"
Hongxia pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, what you said is not unreasonable, but if the Zhongyu and the Tantai family really exist, then where did they go?
"If my Luo family is not destroyed because of the mission of the town, then I believe that the Shantai family will also have a continuation. When he said this, Luo Qing was very firm, and he didn't know why he was so determined, but there was a feeling in the dark that told him that his idea was right.
Luo Qing even had a feeling that the mystery of all this would eventually be revealed by him, and he was the key person in it, but the time had not yet come.
Hongxia smiled and teased: "Seeing your determined face, I almost believed it." ”
"No, you should believe it, didn't you say that you believe everything I say?" Luo Qing teased Hongxia for a moment, and then said: "It's just that since there are five major families in the Southern Wilderness, what is the saying that the five major sects later settled in the Southern Wilderness!"
"According to historical records, the five major sects were actually sent by some force to monitor our five major families, but after the passage of time, these sects also began to decline, and finally forgot their original purpose. Hongxia said.
Hearing this, Luo Qing said with a smile: "Although the five major sects have declined, it is difficult to say whether they have forgotten their original intentions, because the enemy in the secret will never write the word 'enemy' on their faces to tell you." ”
"You're saying that they may be pretending to behave on the surface, just to confuse our major families. Listening to what Luo Qing said, Hongxia was surprised.
"Perhaps, but I'm just saying that to tell you that it's necessary to be on guard. Luo Qing looked at Hongxia and continued: "Moreover, it is possible that they are guarding against the sudden appearance of the Tantai family!"
"No, this is all your guess, how could the Tantai family suddenly appear!" Hongxia said in surprise.
"Everything is possible, maybe the reason why the Tantai family doesn't let people find it is because they don't want people to find it at all!" Luo Qing pondered for a while, and then said softly: "And the five major sects may not really decline, maybe one or two have declined, but since they can continue the Dao system to this day, they will never completely decline." ”
"Really, if it's true, it's a big deal!" Hongxia suddenly felt like she was caught in a conspiracy.
Luo Qing smiled and said, "There is a great possibility that it is true, because they have an uncertain Tantai family in front of them, so they can only pretend to show weakness in order to deal with the sudden change in the future." ”
"It's all your conjecture, you're like a conspirator. Hongxia smiled.
Luo Qing looked out of the sky and said, "Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it will take time to confirm, but now that the hour is almost up, should we go and listen to what his Nangong family has to say to the Four Domains?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, so they went out with the men and horses.
