In fact, long before the fall of Shenjian Villa, the Xie family had always had problems in passing on the lineage.

If an ordinary person does not have that hidden disease, coupled with the hard work of wives and concubines, it is normal for children and grandchildren to be full.

However, under the same conditions.

The heirs born to the Xie family are often only two or three.

However, due to the great business of the Xie family at that time, it did not attract too much attention from the Xie family.

Until the fall of the Divine Sword Villa, the descendants of the Xie family seemed to have been cursed, causing them to wither for many years, and even began to appear in a single line.

At first, Xia Fan thought that someone was secretly making trouble, but later he found out that this was not the case.

It wasn't until he asked Shi Yanqiu some things that he gradually realized that it was not the Xie family that had a problem, but the Xie family's cultivation of the "Amazing Sword Battle" that had a problem.

Go back to the roots.

It all started with the ancestors of the Xie family.

The ancestors of the Xie family had seven sons.

And these seven sons were important figures in the rise of the Xie family later.

But it was from these seven sons that the Xie family gradually had problems in passing on the lineage.

Xia Fan has seen the family tree of the Xie family.

Shown on the family tree.

The seven sons of the Xie family have a total of twenty-five sons, and after twenty-five sons, the descendants of each son are getting fewer and fewer, and even three of the descendants of the seven sons have become extinct, and they are completely dependent on the descendants of the other four sons to inherit it.

Although there seemed to be thousands of people in total before the fall of Shenjian Villa, there were less than a hundred members of the Xie family who could really be included in the family tree.

It's a pity that except for Xie Thirteen's lineage, the rest of the Xie family members have been slaughtered by the Yin Yang Sect.

Let's get back to the point.

Why did the Xie family fall into a situation of thin descendants starting from the seventh son of the Xie family?

But the ancestors of the Xie family and even the previous three generations did not have this problem?

No doubt.

The spearhead is directly pointed at the "Amazing Sword Battle" that happened to appear at this time node!

The strange thing is that since Xia Fan can think that there is a problem with "Amazing Sword Battle", didn't the Xie family think of it?

Maybe.

The Xie family knows.

But they couldn't expose the secret.

You must know that "Amazing Sword Duel" is the foundation of the Xie family's standing in the rivers and lakes, once the rest of the Xie family knows that there will be a risk of extinction in cultivating "Astounding Sword Duel", it will inevitably make the entire Xie family begin to shake, and even fall apart.

It's a bit like the Sunflower Book.

Male infertility, female infertility.

How many martial artists in the world would risk their heirs in order to learn "Amazing Sword Battle"? You must know that even if you learn it, it doesn't mean that you can reach the sky in one step, this thing also depends on your personal martial arts talent.

on this.

He also specially asked Shi Yanqiu if he knew that there was a problem with "Amazing Sword Duel".

But Shi Yanqiu said that he didn't know.

Xia Fan guessed.

It may be that the Xie family who knew the flaws of "Amazing Sword Battle" back then are all dead, and they have no chance to tell the descendants of the Xie family who escaped about this matter.

And after Shi Yanqiu learned the truth from Xia Fan that the Xie family had been withering, it was inevitable that he would beg Xia Fan to solve the problem of Xie Linyuan's inheritance.

Xia Fan gave two suggestions.

Either let Xie Linyuan give up practicing "Amazing Sword Battle", or find a daughter-in-law of the same realm for Xie Linyuan.

Because the internal strength of "Amazing Sword Battle" is too domineering, it affects Xie Linyuan's physical condition in all aspects, just like shaping his whole person into a sharp long sword, so the chances of an ordinary woman being able to conceive Xie Linyuan's child are very small.

Only the higher the martial arts, the better the physical fitness, the better the woman has a greater chance of getting pregnant.

In a nutshell.

The greater the difference in life levels, the more likely it is to cause reproductive isolation.

This is no exception even for Xia Fan.

But the difference is that Xia Fan's own strength is too strong, while Xie Linyuan is under the dual influence of internal strength.

He didn't expect it anyway.

This time, in addition to instructing Xie Linyuan, he actually made a cameo appearance as a male doctor by the way.

Which one is strong in infertility, the world of Shenzhou is looking for Xia Fan.

What a ghost!

Of course.

This is just a small episode of Xia Fan in Xie Linyuan's mansion.

In fact, he was more curious, did the martial arts improved by the ancient monks' methods have serious flaws in this regard?

Think of the people who once got "Heaven Thieves".

Why is there no one like the Xie family who got "Amazing Sword Battle" and made a fortune in a muffled voice?

I'm afraid—

These guys who practiced "Heaven Thieves" are all gone.

Without a strong lineage, they can't continue to pass on their legacy to future generations.

"Poison smeared with honey?"

Xia Fan pinched the sword in his hand and pointed absentmindedly and remotely controlled the flying sword in the courtyard and hovered back and forth in the air, one moment lined up in an S shape, and the other in a B shape, which was dazzling.

Then he snapped his fingers.

The flying sword in mid-air immediately fell and plunged into the ground.

......

"What a battle!"

In the crowd on both sides of the streets of Hakubaguan.

Shi Xiaofei looked at the knight in the robe in front of him, under the escort of many armor soldiers, and after heading towards the north, he couldn't help muttering softly.

"I inquired about the news, it was this Xuan-robed knight who was attacked at the post station last night, and I heard that the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion was among them, so it is no wonder that the local garrison and the people of the Zhenwu Division will be so cautious. ”

Lu Shaoyang, who was wearing a hat beside him, said in a low voice.

"Wouldn't it be ...... that we met that guy on the street last night?"

Shi Xiaofei snorted violently.

"As you might think, as expected, it was that Chen Gongzi who planned the attack on the post station last night, and his target seems to be his own brother. ”

Lu Shaoyang said softly.

"Why did he want to do it to his own brother?"

Shi Xiaofei said with a look of surprise.

Maybe he had something he wanted to tell his brother in private. Lu Shaoyang guessed. "If Chen Gongzi really wants to kill his younger brother, he has already done it directly last night, why do you need to delay the arrival of the people from the Zhenwu Division?"

"The family affairs of these princes and nobles are really complicated. ”

Shi Xiaofei sighed.

"It's more complicated......"

Lu Shaoyang shook his head and said.

According to the news he inquired, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei had passed away mysteriously, and the murderer was suspected of being the second son, Chen Yuan.

But until he knows the truth, he will not jump to conclusions.

The same.

His trust in Chen Yuan is reserved.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the hearts of the people are sinister.

Who knows if the other party deliberately set a trap for them.

"It's almost time for us to go. ”

Looking at the knight in the black robe that disappeared at the end of the field of vision, Lu Shaoyang turned around and patted Shi Xiaofei's shoulder and said.

"Are you going to the capital?"

Shi Xiaofei said subconsciously.

"No, before we go to the capital again, we have to go to another place. ”

Lu Shaoyang said in a deep voice.

"Luo County. ”

"Luo County?"

Shi Xiaofei was puzzled, because he was not familiar with Gyeonggi.

"There is a county town only more than 30 miles away from the capital, and there are people waiting for us. Lu Shaoyang said calmly. "Not long ago, Master sent me back a message, and he told us to go to Luo County first, and not to make any rash moves for the time being. ”

"Good!"

Shi Xiaofei immediately responded.

Now that there are no seniors by his side, the only person he can trust is Lu Shaoyang.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, I already know where my predecessor is now!"

Lu Shaoyang said suddenly.

"Where is my predecessor now?"

Shi Xiaofei suddenly said excitedly when he heard this.

"Xie Linyuan's home in Qingsong County. ”

Lu Shaoyang said without concealment.

"Xie Linyuan, how could the senior be in his house?"

Shi Xiaofei was stunned.

"It is said that the people of the Yin-Yang Sect intended to slaughter the Xie family, but they let the seniors stop it. Lu Shaoyang said with emotion. At the same time, the seniors also asked people to bring a message to the Demon Sect, and whoever dares to be unfavorable to the Xie family in the future will be an enemy of him. ”

"The predecessors are still as majestic and domineering as ever. ”

Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but smile, and then scratched his head and said in distress.

"But I'm a little confused, my predecessors just let the Demon Sect ignore it?"

"It's not that the seniors don't want to pay attention, but the seniors don't know where to start. ”

Lu Shaoyang said helplessly.

"You must know that the seniors are the great grandmasters, and their every move affects the nerves of all parties, not to mention the Demon Sect, in my opinion, the seniors probably want to lure the snake out of the hole......"

"Aren't the seniors worried? What if the Demon Sect's conspiracy succeeds?"

Shi Xiaofei said worriedly.

“...... Do you think the seniors cared?"

Lu Shaoyang was silent for a moment and said.

“...... I do not know. ”

Shi Xiaofei said in a difficult tone.

"Let's not talk about that, let's pack up our things and leave. ”

Lu Shaoyang deliberately diverted the topic, and seemed unwilling to continue talking about a great grandmaster behind his back.

Does Xia Fan care about the conspiracy of the Demon Sect?

Maybe they already have the answer in their hearts.

It's just that they don't want to face it or say it.

As everyone knows.

The Forgotten Soul Sect had angered Xia Fan in Wanyang.

If the Demon Sect had never offended Xia Fan, Xia Fan might not have gone to the trouble of the Demon Sect either.

Even if the Demon Sect intends to set off a catastrophe in the rivers and lakes? Does this have anything to do with Xia Fan?

It is precisely because Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang have a general understanding of Xia Fan's temperament that they feel lost and depressed.

Oh, yes.

The Great Grandmaster is already high.

They can be said to be lucky to get to know a great master, and I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes envy them.

However.

Xia Fan is Xia Fan, and they are them.

Xia Fan has his own ideas, and they have their pursuits.

Jianghu has nothing to do with Xia Fan.

But it's about them.

......

"Senior, someone outside the mansion asked to see you, and the other party claimed to be Shi Xiaofei's friend. ”

Evening.

When Xia Fan was reading a book in the room, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by Xie Linyuan's voice.

"Dumbo's friend?"

Xia Fan was stunned when he heard this.

When did this guy make new friends? Why doesn't he know?

"Bring him here. ”

After a moment's thought, he simply commanded.

"Yes!"

Xie Linyuan turned around and left without saying a word, and it didn't take long for him to return to the door.

"The seniors, the juniors have brought people. ”

"Come in. ”

Xia Fan, who was lying on the rocking chair, waved his hand, and the closed door opened instantly.

Moment.

Xie Linyuan led a young man with an ordinary appearance but a smile on his face all the time.

"Little Chen Er paid a visit to Lord Xia Zun. ”

As soon as I entered the house.

The young man named Chen Er did not hesitate to bow down to Xia Fan on the rocking chair.

"You go down first, and close the door by the way. ”

Xia Fan tilted his head and said to Xie Linyuan absentmindedly.

After Xie Linyuan left the room, he slowly put the book in his hand on the table on the side, and at the same time carefully looked at the young man kneeling in front of him.

"Thank you, Lord. ”

Chen Er immediately stood up respectfully.

"How did I not know that Shi Xiaofei had a friend named Chen Er?"

Xia Fan looked at the other party with interest.

"Don't hide it from the lord, the little one is indeed not Shi Xiaofei's friend. ”

Chen Er said with a slight trepidation.

"Oh?"

Xia Fan shook his eyebrows.

"Because the little one is here to pay a visit to the lord at the behest of my son-in-law. ”

Chen Er said truthfully.

"Who is your son-in-law?"

Xia Fan said casually.

"The youngest son is Chen Yuan, the second son of the Duke of Wei. After Chen Er finished speaking, he didn't forget to add. "Earlier, the Venerable Lord once rescued a young man named Chen Ji in Qingping Mountain, and my son-in-law is Chen Ji's brother. ”

“...... Chen, I remembered. Xia Fan said thoughtfully. "So, does your son-in-law have anything to do with me?"

"This is what my son-in-law asked the little one to hand over to the lord. ”

said.

Chen Er hurriedly took out a letter from his arms.

Seeing this, Xia Fan grabbed the letter directly from the other party as soon as he grabbed it.

He didn't hesitate.

Open the letter and browse the contents of the letter.

It's just that the more he looked at it, the more strange Xia Fan's face became.

"Okay, I already know what your son-in-law means, you can go back. ”

After reading the letter.

Xia Fan suddenly fell into a short period of contemplation, and when he came back to his senses, he waved his hand at Chen Er.

"The little one obeys. ”

Chen Erdang even gave up.

"Tut-tut...... I didn't expect that the internal unity of the Demon Sect was not as imaginary, but I don't know if there is fraud here......"

Xia Fan picked up the letter and read it again, and couldn't help but smile playfully on his face.

"If the contents of the letter are true, then the Demon Sect really knows how to play!

He knew that the Demon Sect had been laid out for many years.

But the early layout of the Demon Sect was a bit unexpected to him.

Because at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Demon Sect had already begun to lay out.

The letter said.

There are people from the Demon Sect within kilometers of the six major countries of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is likely that there is more than one, but the other party is very deeply hidden, and it is still unclear who the specific person is.

But the most suspicious person is the Shinkoku Gongfei Ren who died mysteriously and violently.

Times have changed.

The power of the Demon Sect has long spread over most of the imperial court, and it can even be said that the imperial court has fallen under the control of the Demon Sect.

Especially since the seventh year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Demon Sect has begun to influence all aspects of the imperial court's decision-making, so that the situation in all parts of Shenzhou has become more and more erosive, and all this is developing smoothly in the direction expected by the Demon Sect.

Here's the problem.

Even after taking refuge in the Demon Sect, Chen Yuan still didn't know the true intentions of the Demon Sect.

But based on the recent actions of the Demon Sect, it is speculated.

The Demon Sect seems to be deliberately attracting the attention of the major sects, and now it is rumored that the people from the Cloud Hall have gone to the capital to investigate.
