The second elder said: "At the age of forty-two, he broke through to a gray-level powerhouse, and this matter was handled by the clan in a low-key manner.

Because he was afraid that he would be blackmailed by the jealousy of other clans, the other clans didn't know that there was such a young gray-level powerhouse in their clan. He was a very arrogant man, determined to go out and break through.

At that time, the clan agreed to his decision after deliberation, and the patriarch felt that he should be allowed to go out to meet the world. Although his cultivation has reached the level of an elder, his mental strength is still quite poor, and he is not qualified for the important position of the fourth elder.

He was gone for two years, and two years later he came back with a serious injury. The wounds on his body were terrible. He kept spitting blood from his mouth, but he was still laughing. He said that he was lucky enough to get a chance, and he might break through to the Yellow Order in the future. ”

Ying Xiang said: "I see, no wonder ......"

The second elder said: "At that time, no one believed what he said, thinking that he was just seriously injured and feverish, and his mind was not very clear. It is so easy to become a Yellow Order powerhouse, it is really a fantasy. He was badly wounded, and I did everything I could to save his life. ”

Ying Xiang said: "It must have been very difficult for the four elders back then. ”

The Second Elder said: "His injuries are too serious, although I saved his life, his cultivation still fell to the bottom of the gray ranks.

For a cultivator, a fall in the realm is a very serious thing, and it is very likely that he will end his cultivation for the rest of his life. After the realm fell, it was several times more difficult to rebuild than the original breakthrough, and everyone had no hope for him at that time. ”

Ying Xiang said: "Realm falling, this kind of blow is really difficult to accept, the fourth elder as the youngest gray-level powerhouse in the clan should have been the most energetic. ”

The second elder said: "After he woke up, he didn't eat or drink after knowing that his realm had fallen, and he was stunned for three days, and we were very worried that he would not be able to think about it and do something stupid.

The Great Elder was most worried, and he almost never slept to guard his younger brother in secret.

In the end, the Fourth Elder was no longer in a daze, and he made a decisive decision - that is, to break through the gray level again.

He himself chose a mountain wall in the back mountain, and then opened a cave to seal the entrance of the cave, and either broke through and successfully broke the mountain wall or failed to die inside. ”

Ying Xiang was impressed by the courage of the four elders, there are many people who are ruthless to the enemy, and there are indeed not many people who can be so ruthless to themselves.

To be precise, the latter kind of person is more terrifying, he can even be so cruel to himself, what else can he be afraid of?

The second elder said: "The patriarch also persuaded him, but he insisted very much, claiming that if he did not agree to close the death pass, he would immediately kill himself.

He was such a proud man that he would not allow himself to live in humiliation.

The Great Elder also begged the patriarch to agree with his brother's decision. As the eldest brother of the Four Elders, he knew his younger brother's temper better than anyone else. The younger brother was by no means joking, but really determined to die. ”

Ying Xiang said: "Patriarch Grandpa should have agreed in the end, and if you calculate it carefully, it was thirteen years ago." I was only a year old at the time, so it's no wonder that I had never heard of the Four Elders. ”

The second elder said: "At that time, he did not seal the mountain wall, leaving a small hole for ventilation, and we also sent him food through this hole."

Half a year later, he had no news for a long time, and even the food he brought in had not been touched for almost two or three months.

Although everyone didn't say it, they all thought in their hearts that he had failed and had fallen into the cave. Later, no one delivered food, and everyone gradually forgot about it. ”

Ying Xiang said: "This is impossible, even if a gray-level powerhouse doesn't eat for a few months at most, how can he not eat for a few years? ”

The second elder said, "Don't worry, things are not so simple. Everyone gave up, but only one was convinced that he was not dead. ”

Ying Xiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that person the Great Elder?"

The second elder said, "Yes, it's him." He had always believed that his brother was still alive, and we all thought that he was too sad to accept the cruel truth.

The Great Elder has always refused to give up, and every month he secretly throws half of the Yuan Stone he used for cultivation into the cave entrance, and sends some water and food to the cave entrance every once in a while, so he has insisted on it for more than ten years. ”

Ying Xiang said: "This ...... The Great Elder didn't believe that his brother was dead, so wouldn't it be clear if he opened the hole and went in to take a look? ”

The second elder said: "Alas, the eldest elder said that he would never believe that his younger brother was dead, but he was still scared in his heart, and he sent some water and food to the entrance of the cave every once in a while, at least he had a thought."

If he did open the hole, he would not dare to face the consequences. ”

Ying Xiang understood, no wonder the Great Elder was so out of shape and surprised when he saw the strange man yesterday, but I was afraid that he would never have imagined that his younger brother was really alive.

The Second Elder coughed and said, "You know what happened yesterday, over the years, the Fourth Elder has not only not died, but his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of the Gray Order, and even touching the threshold of the Yellow Order.

But he went crazy in the process of breaking through, so he lost all his mind and went crazy.

He pinched your neck yesterday was also unintentional, and the true yuan countercurrent in his body made him worse than dead, he ...... So I put those counter-current true elements into your body.

You kid is really lucky, somehow you didn't get blown up, and I just checked your pulse and didn't find that you have a particularly fierce and powerful True Yuan Force in your body. ”

Ying Xiang scratched his head and said, "Poor children have a hard life, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." ”

The second elder's face became extremely heavy and said, "This involves another piece of news that I want to tell you?"

Ying Xiang said: "Oh, what I just said is good news, and there is still bad news that I haven't said. ”

The second elder hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, I planned to hide it from you, but the patriarch said that you are the party concerned and have the right to know everything.

Although the True Yuan of the Four Elders did not pose a danger to your life, it injured your meridians as it rushed into your body. I can't heal this injury, and you can only heal it yourself. But...... Although there is a chance of recovery, the odds are very small, and the length of time is not good.

Maybe a year or two, maybe seven or eight years, maybe ...... In this life, alas, it is impossible for your cultivation to improve at all before the meridian injuries are complete, and you cannot use your true qi to a large extent, otherwise it will aggravate the injuries of the meridians. ”

Ying Xiang replied very calmly, "Oh, I see. "After cultivating the Three Lives and Ten Thousand Things, he has been able to see inward, and he is very clear about the damage to the meridians in his body. However, Yingxiang is not worried at all, where is this "small injury" worth paying attention to.

The second elder said in a deep voice: "This kind of injury is no lighter than a realm fall, and there are cracks in the meridians that can only be cured by the holy medicine against the heavens. If you heal on your own, there may be no hope in this life, you ...... Do you know how serious the consequences are? ”

The second elder's eyes were red, he couldn't bear to see such a talented young man as Ying Xiang cut off his cultivation path from then on.

Ying Xiang didn't feel good when he saw the second elder's sad appearance, and he especially wanted to tell the second elder that he was fine.

But this will definitely expose the secret of the secret of the Three Lives and Ten Thousand Things, and the patriarch grandfather told himself not to tell anyone again.

Grandpa the patriarch said that if you accidentally tell the first person, you may accidentally reveal it to the second person.

If the person you tell is not careful, it will be known to others, and more and more people will know.

Once this news is overheard by the big clans, it will bring about the tragedy of our clan's extermination.

So don't let anyone else in this world know about it, not even your future wife and children.

The hearts of the people are unpredictable, and the children of the big tribes or families around the wasteland do not hesitate to kill each other for the sake of profit and power, and even do the act of killing their father and mother.

The powerful inheritance method is still blushing even for a large clan of millions of people.

If you really want to pass it on to your descendants or disciples, then wait until you are dying to give it to them, so that you can keep your life safe and not have to taste betrayal by someone you trust.

Ying Xiang remembered the impulse to tell the second elder the truth under the pressure of the patriarch's grandfather's instructions, he bowed his head and said: "Since the incident has happened, no matter how annoyed and regretful and self-defeating you are, you can't change the facts, it's better to accept it calmly."

Moreover, there are still many clansmen in the clan who cannot cultivate, and they still laugh and live happily every day. Then why can't I choose a life of laughter and laughter every day?"

The second elder breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ying Xiang's clear and turquoise eyes and said, "It's really unexpected that you can be so open-minded, you can take care of your injuries, I'll go first." ”

Ying Xiang clearly saw that the second elder was about to walk out when he raised his sleeve and secretly wiped his eyes, his heart was warm and sour, it felt so good to be cared for.
