Chapter 22: The Old Patriarch

At the entrance of the Dongshan clan, there are two huge stone pillars, round, the surface is very rough, but it is full of majesty.

There is a wooden plaque on it, with the words Higashiyama written in a very elaborate font.

The two Dongshan Shi brothers took Ye Qingtian into the tribe and quickly attracted the attention of the people around them.

"Who is this, how can he dress like this, but he looks pretty good in this dress. ”

"Your young man is still so handsome, I don't know where Ah Shi brought them back. ”

The people around stared at Ye Qingtian, and there was a lot of discussion, with strange eyes.

Ye Qingtian was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only keep smiling and nodding at the people around him.

"Uncle Tiger, the patriarch's grandfather is not in the tribe, I have something to do with him. ”

With a smile on his face, Dongshan Shi asked a burly middle-aged man in front of him.

"The patriarch should be in the ancestral hall now. The middle-aged man replied.

Ye Qingtian observed silently on the side, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the people in this Dongshan clan tribe were extremely strong, even if it was a woman, they were many times stronger than the qi and blood of people in the outside world.

And most of these people are physically strong, and their physical strength is terrifying, I really don't know how they cultivate, they are just like a humanoid beast.

"Well, thank you Uncle Tiger. Dongshan Shi smiled honestly and looked back at Ye Qingtian, "Come with me and take you to meet our patriarch grandfather." ”

Ye Qingtian nodded slightly, followed behind the two Dongshan Shi brothers, and walked towards the sacrificial ancestral hall in the depths of the tribe.

Along the way, Ye Qingtian saw a lot, such as the tribe did not have many farming tools, but had a large number of medicinal fields.

This shows that on this monster island, few people grow agricultural products, and the land is used to grow medicinal herbs.

The various weapons hanging at the door of some houses prove that these people are born from hunting, no wonder they are as strong as fierce beasts.

In less than a moment, the sacrificial ancestral hall of the Dongshan clan appeared in front of Ye Qingtian.

It is a huge square, and there are many pillars on the square, and the pillars are densely carved with various runes.

The content of the rune was unrecognizable to Ye Qingtian, but the material used in the pillar made Ye Qingtian moved.

There are a total of twelve pillars, each of which is made of spirit stones, and spirit stones, as the name suggests, have the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

This kind of material is not unusual, in the outside world, many cultivation sects or the world will use the spirit gathering stone to lay out the formation for gathering spiritual energy.

It's just that Ye Qingtian has never seen such a huge spirit gathering stone, forming twelve pillars, standing in different positions on the square, and the spirit gathering array formed in this way, after it is opened, I don't know how majestic the spiritual energy will gather.

Directly in front of the square, there is a house with regular construction, the house is not large, but there are often bursts of spiritual light.

Seeing this, Ye Qingtian had already guessed that most of the houses in this room were enshrined with an amazing divine weapon, otherwise it would not be like this.

At the door of the room, there was an old man sitting upright, with his eyes slightly closed, concentrating, Ye Qingtian could clearly see that the gray hair on the top of the old man's head emitted a fine light from time to time, submerged into the void, and then appeared from the void and returned to his body.

"That's our patriarch grandfather. Dongshan Shi said to Ye Qingtian, and then shouted at the old man, "Patriarch Grandpa, I brought someone back from outside." ”

Hearing this, the patriarch of the Dongshan clan slowly opened his eyes, the light on his body suddenly disappeared, and he first showed a charitable smile and said, "Ah Shi is back." ”

Then he picked up a cane beside him, stood up, leaned over, and saw Ye Qingtian wearing a strange costume, and his cloudy eyes also showed doubts.

"Who is this young man?"

Ye Qingtian listened to this, did not slack off, bowed respectfully, and replied loudly: "Junior Ye Lang, I have seen the patriarch seniors. ”

"Ye Lang!" the patriarch muttered, leaning on his crutches, staggered forward a few steps, looked Ye Qingtian up and down again, and said, "You don't look like a person from my Dongshan Clan, could it be that there is a new race on this monster island?"

Seeing the old man's staggering appearance, the Dongshan Shi brothers immediately went up the mountain to support him, and then Dongshan Shi said: "Patriarch Grandpa, Ye Lang said that he floated here from the river. ”

"Oh... Drifted to Monster Island. The patriarch nodded and said in an old voice, but then he was stunned for a moment, and his cloudy eyes suddenly widened, "What are you talking about, you said that Ye Lang entered Monster Island from the outside world." ”

"Hehe..."Dongshan Shi snickered, and then replied, "yes, that's why I brought him back to show you." ”

After learning about Ye Qingtian's origin, the patriarch seemed to be in a lot of spirits, and when he came to Ye Qingtian, his face exuded brilliance, and asked, "Young man, you really came to Monster Island from the outside world. ”

"That's true. Ye Qingtian nodded and replied, but he had an answer in his heart.

Seeing this patriarch's surprised expression, it can be seen that this monster island should be isolated from the world, and no one should have ever left the island in normal times, except for him, no one should have come to this island from the outside world.

Moreover, Ye Qingtian was in the outside world, and he had not heard that there was such an island as Monster Island on the Douxing River.

"Hmm!" the patriarch nodded in a deep voice, and then ordered the two Dongshan Shi brothers beside him, and said, "You two go down first, I have something to say to Ye Lang alone." ”

"Okay. Although the Dongshan Shi brothers were also curious in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey the words of the patriarch, and retreated one after another.

"Young man, come with me. ”

After the Dongshan Shi brothers left, the patriarch called Ye Qingtian.

Ye Qingtian also had many doubts in his heart at this time, expecting this elderly patriarch to solve his doubts, so he followed into the room next to the sacrificial square.

In the house, it is very simple, or the people of this monster island have different aesthetics from the outside world, the room is full of some animal skins, animal bones decoration, and even the bed is made of stone.

In front of the stone table, the patriarch asked Ye Qingtian to sit down, and then he also sat opposite Ye Qingtian, looking at Ye Qingtian with a serious face.

"How did you get into Monster Island. ”

Ye Qingtian couldn't answer the patriarch's question, because he didn't know how he came to this place, but he told the patriarch what happened to him on the river.

After listening to Ye Qingtian's words, the patriarch's wrinkled face was a little surprised, and he thought for a long time before continuing to speak.

"The headless ancient corpse and weird head you said, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Blood Moon Ghost Ancestor, but I didn't expect that the corpses of those ancient gods and demons had already appeared in the outside world. The patriarch was worried, as if this matter was very serious for him.

Ye Qingtian was very curious in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Senior, how can you say this." ”

The patriarch touched his beard, then picked up the large ceramic bowl on the table, and after taking a sip of water, he said aloud: "Don't worry, wait for me to tell you slowly." ”

As he spoke, the patriarch fell into memories and kept telling Ye Qingtian about the various things about Monster Island.

The patriarch's words made Ye Qingtian more and more frightened the more he listened, but he finally had a better understanding of this monster island.

Monster Island, the reason why it is called this name, is because in ancient times, a person who claimed to be the Monster Emperor came here and sealed the corpses of many gods and demons at that time in the waters around Monster Island.

And set up a formation to cover up the entire island, which is why in the outside world, you can't see such a big island.

And the people on the monster island have become the guardians of this seal, but countless years have passed, and the name of this guardian is no longer important, for the sake of interests, these people have also divided into different camps, began to fight, fight, and completely leave the matter of guarding the seal behind.

This also leads to the loosening of the seal, the corpses of many gods and demons emerge, and at the end of each year on Monster Island, countless ancient corpses will emerge on the riverside, and the resentment will be overwhelming, and the roar will continue, and the entire riverbank of Monster Island will become a forbidden place, and no one dares to approach.

Originally, this matter, after a long time, the people of Monster Island got used to it, as long as the time came, don't approach the river bank, there will be nothing, until Ye Qingtian told the patriarch that the ancient corpse appeared in the outside world, and the patriarch knew the seriousness of the matter.

"If you say that, if the seal is loosened, after the ancient corpse goes out, won't it make the entire Four Extremes Dao chaotic. Ye Qingtian's heart was shocked by the origin of this monster island, and at the same time, he began to worry again.

However, the patriarch waved his hand, didn't seem to care much at all, and said: "There's nothing to worry about, the Four Extremes Dao Land will be in chaos every 10,000 years, and if you calculate the time, it should be about the same." ”

After speaking, the patriarch showed hesitation again, touched the beard on his chin, and muttered in a low voice: "So, we should move, otherwise those ghost things will pounce on it, and it will not be fun." ”

After thinking for a while, the patriarch suddenly raised his head, stared at Ye Qingtian, and said, "Young man, how about we make a deal." ”

"Deal?"

Ye Qingtian looked at the patriarch with a puzzled expression, and asked out loud, "What deal?"

The patriarch didn't sell anything, and replied straightforwardly, saying: "I see that you don't have a spiritual root in your body, you must not be able to cultivate, in this world full of spiritual energy, not being able to cultivate is even more embarrassing than infertility, in this way, I will help you condense the spiritual root, and when the time comes, you help our Dongshan clan tribe go out, you see how it is." ”

When Ye Qingtian heard this, he was covered with black lines by the first half of the patriarch's words, he didn't expect that this old patriarch who looked full of kindness would be so old and improper.

However, the last half sentence moved Ye Qingtian.

Helping him condense the spiritual root, this made Ye Qingtian feel pleasantly surprised.

Listening to the patriarch's words, he didn't seem to have the intention of lying to him, condensing the spiritual root, this is what Ye Qingtian has always wanted to do, however, in the outside world, he has searched for countless ways, but they have not succeeded, and even his three masters are helpless against it.

Now, the patriarch of the Dongshan clan actually told him that he could condense the spiritual root, which really made Ye Qingtian overjoyed.

It's just that Ye Qingtian immediately showed a solemn look again, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "Patriarch senior, why did you choose to walk out of this monster island, and do I have this ability?"

"Hey, hey. When the patriarch heard this, he immediately grinned and said, "The main thing is that this seal is now very loose, and those ancient corpses have not yet entered the island, all because there are a few Dao weapons left by the Monster Emperor on the island. ”

"However, this is not a long-term solution, when those ancient corpses have enough strength, then this monster island will be ruined. ”

"The reason why you are allowed to come, it's not that you came in from the outside world, there must be a way, and when the seal is loosened at the end of the year, you will go to the riverside to try it and see how you can get out, we will follow you, what you do, we will do it, this is not enough." ”

After listening to the patriarch's words, the corners of Ye Qingtian's mouth twitched slightly, he could tell that this old thing didn't know how to get out at all, let him do it, it was completely because he came in from the outside world, which was too unreliable.

However, in order to condense the spiritual root, and he can't stay on Monster Island all the time, he still has to leave here.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingtian still replied: "Since this is the case, the juniors should do their best." ”

"Hahaha, yes, refreshing, I really didn't misread you, young people have a future. The patriarch immediately laughed and said.

Ye Qingtian's head was full of black lines, if it weren't for the fact that the other party had a way to condense the spiritual root, he really didn't want to continue talking to this old and unserious patriarch at all.

As for the origin of the Monster Emperor, the patriarch did not tell Ye Qingtian, maybe the patriarch himself did not know.

Ye Qingtian had heard of the name of the Great Emperor, and in the long time of the Four Poles Dao Soil, there were also several great emperors who had made great contributions to the human race and made great achievements.

However, in Ye Qingtian's impression, there is indeed no existence of the Monster Emperor, think about it, this should be an extremely low-key Emperor powerhouse, and listening to the name, it should be an Emperor who is not very obscene.

Ye Qingtian and the patriarch were in the house and discussed for a long time, until the sky darkened, and the patriarch asked people to arrange a room for Ye Qingtian to live in.

Ye Qingtian, who was lying on the hard stone bed, was in chaos in his mind, the patriarch had told him before that he would take him to condense the spiritual root the next day.

At this time, Ye Qingtian was not in a hurry, he thought of Qianhe and the others in his mind, when he fell into the water, he clearly saw that the boat was pushed away at a great speed.

I don't know if Qianhe and they crossed the Douxing River, and what happened after that, after all, he now knows that those ancient corpses floating in the river came from Monster Island, which was extremely dangerous.

"Let's hope all is well. Ye Qingtian spoke slowly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
