Chapter 38: Undercurrents are surging

Lintianmen is about to be a hundred years old, which is not only Lintianmen's own business, but also widely concerned in the entire continent.

Usually, on the day of the big competition, the top 20 sects in the mainland will be invited to watch the ceremony and witness, and after the big competition, they will also arrange friendly discussions with young talents from all factions.

It is said that it is a discussion of the Tao, which is an elegant statement, but in fact, it is a competition between the strength of young disciples, the young disciples on the field are fighting to the death, and the elders of various factions watching from the sidelines either boast or for tat or sneer and talk about it.

The struggle between the various factions has never stopped, and the few large-scale solidarities of the hundred factions in the past 10,000 years have all been against the Luo clan with a common purpose, but even these few large-scale solidarities are only limited to the surface, and they have their own ghosts in secret, after all, there is only one chance.

In addition to the tempting big opportunity against the Luo clan, the ordinary resource grabbing on the continent alone can also show a true temper.

In the past tens of thousands of years, except for the three senior brothers of the three major sects, the world has been relatively peaceful and peaceful, and that is also because the strength of these three senior brothers is strong enough, and they have surpassed other sects too much and become the three pillars of the mainland.

And it is precisely these three brothers who are as friendly as brothers, and remember the teachings of the mysterious people, so in the era of the heyday of the three major sects, the people of Li can be said to have the most comfortable time.

Later, the three senior brothers disappeared into the world at the same time, and there was a rumor on the mainland that there was no empirical evidence that there was no secret of the Luo clan, and without the three senior brothers, no one could suppress the greedy desire of the entire world, including the three major sects themselves.

The irrepressible greed and desire led to the three major factions and hundreds of large and small sects on the continent to break out a devastating battle with the Luo clan in the South China Sea far away from the mainland near the endless whirlpool, which ended with the earth-shattering roar of the Luo clan patriarch before his death.

"I don't know what grievances our Luo clan has with you, it's nothing, and it's ridiculous to want to add sin. Hahahaha, now you turn the Luo clan upside down, have you found that ridiculous secret. Since your three major sects are like this, you don't even want to be cheeky, so don't leave today, and if you want to destroy, you can destroy them together.

Other sects I know that you were instigated by the three major sects, today the main combat power of the three major sects is destined to be left here by me, our Luo clan is a ruined village, what do you want, just take it, but those three major sects are the place where the nine layers of resources on the continent are occupied, if you don't take advantage of their vitality and get back the resources that should belong to you, then there will be a chance in the future?"

It's ridiculous that the three major sects are coming violently, but all the high battles are buried with the Luo clan.

That battle taught the mainland three things:

The first is to know what is called the tragedy of war, and human life is like a mustard;

The second is to know that there is still a force in this world, its strength is not weaker than the three major factions, it is obviously just a clan village far away from the rivers and lakes, but it broke out to resist the offensive of the three major sects, which shocked the world;

The third is that the three major sects are finished, and the Luo clan's imaginary secret is not seen, but the 10,000-year resources of the three major sects are on the surface, and if they don't take advantage of the three major sects to rob them when they are down, when they have eased this period of weakness, they may never have a chance again.

Then the three major sects that were greatly injured were like the dying curse of the patriarch of the Luo clan, and they were divided and destroyed by the hundred factions they brought to defeat the Luo clan.

Later, hundreds of factions contended, no one obeyed anyone, for all kinds of large or small resources, the mainland disputes continued, the collusion of sects, the annexation of small and medium-sized sects, all kinds of ugliness in the world endlessly, the struggle between sects also affected the struggle between the secular dynasty and the family, the secular people were precarious, and the people were not happy.

The whole world was too chaotic and unsightly, so it fought endlessly for more than a thousand years, and after continuous competition and annexation, more than a dozen sects with strength far exceeding ordinary sects finally came to the fore.

And these dozen or so big sects and big factions should be fighting for the resources that should be grabbed, and they can be regarded as having seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and then fighting like this, whether these newly robbed resources will not be different for the time being, just the process of fighting like this is very likely to destroy a lot of resources, these big factions have not yet begun to enjoy the benefits of occupying resources, if they are ruined because of a certain battle, who can reason with them?

Therefore, many major sects and factions have to launch an alliance to bundle their strength together, forming three behemoths to protect common interests, one is a righteous alliance led by the five major sects that claim to be a decent sect, called the Heavenly Alliance, the Heavenly Alliance aims to maintain peace and stability on the mainland, if there are bad forces on the mainland to make trouble, or there is an unnecessary struggle between sects, and will be dispatched to quell the chaos.

One is an alliance led by the four major demon gates, called the Heaven-Shaking Alliance, which declares that the Heavenly Alliance is false benevolence and false righteousness, but it is actually to quell the chaos, in essence, it is to gain benefits for itself, in order to prevent the world from being deceived by the Heavenly Alliance, to expose the ugliness of the Heavenly Alliance, and then set up this Heaven-Shaking Alliance to oppose the Heavenly Alliance.

There is also a free alliance dominated by Lintianmen, this free alliance does not have a special name and purpose, nor was it initiated by Lintianmen, but some people on the mainland do not want to get involved in the disputes between the two alliances and seek the protection of Lintianmen, if Lintianmen does not protect them, they will either passively force to join the two alliances, or face the fate of being destroyed by the two alliances.

Lintianmen felt that the mainland was constantly strife, and there were fewer and fewer inheritances that could stay, so it was a pity and unbearable for them to be destroyed by the general trend like this, so they had to set up such a free alliance, and there were no requirements for the sects that joined the alliance.

These three major alliances are faintly comparable to the three major sects that have been destroyed, but it is a pity that the alliance is not as iron as the three major sects after all, and it will not be as loving each other as the three senior brothers.

The disputes between the alliances, the differences within the alliance and the distribution of interests have made it impossible to avoid intrigue within the alliance. If you want to truly achieve peace in the world, it is not easy to say, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fantasy.

Just like this century-old competition in the Heavenly Gate, none of the major forces is as calm as it seems.

......

The day before Lintianmen Dabi, in a certain place, there was such a lobby, and a group of people wearing various costumes gathered in the lobby, and they were discussing something at the moment.

"How's it going?"

"It's pretty much safe. ”

"Well, be careful not to be caught on your feet. ”

"Don't worry, I've told you repeatedly. ”

"Amitabha, the leader of the alliance, the old man thinks that things should not be done too desperately, search the body, investigate, and interrogate again, it's just that, or he wants to kill someone. ”

"Master, I understand what you mean. I don't want to be an enemy of Lintianmen, but it's self-defeating to push Lintianmen to that demon gate, which is not what I want to see. If there is an outcome, don't hurt the innocent, and if the situation is urgent, don't waste time, just bring people to the Alliance, and then slowly interrogate. As long as people are alive, Ye Qingfeng will not act excessively. ”

"Yes, Alliance Master. ”

"Alliance leader, poor Dao has been in retreat in recent years, and only came out of the customs a few days ago, although I am fortunate to have the trust of the Dao Lord to send me to participate in this meeting, but it is really indiscriminate, ignorant, and very ashamed. I don't know why the alliance leader determined that the child was the remnant of the Luo clan, and I hope that the alliance leader can solve a puzzle. ”

"Elder Huang, don't be humble. Naturally, I would like to inform you of this reason. ”

"In fact, the reason is very simple, Ye Qingfeng thought that he could hide from the sky and the sea after a thousand years, but he didn't know that the sky net was magnificent, negligent but not leaky. The Taoist who fell from the mountain was not only the saintess of the Demon Sect, but also the descendant of the Great Chu family who survived and died, although the alliance did not care about the reason for the defeat of the Great Chu family, but it was a matter of the Luo family, and Chu Xiaoxiao's background naturally investigated one or two, and finally got three more useful information.

First, his subordinates inquired that there was an heirloom of the Great Chu family, called the Water Spirit Bead, which had the softest and most powerful water energy in the Five Elements, and the water energy contained in it was extremely huge.

The second is to discover that there is a unique science called the Breath Seal, which is a forbidden technique to seal living creatures, although the name is mild, it is actually an evil and poisonous technique, and the living creatures that are sealed by the Breath Seal will be eroded all the time, and their souls will be completely erased from the shell in less than a hundred years, and their shells will become truly ownerless.

This forbidden technique was originally created for the old monsters whose flesh was about to die in the Demon Gate to prepare a powerful and perfect body. I knew that whether a living creature directly erased its soul or used the technique of seizure to fight for control of the physical body, it would cause more or less immeasurable damage to its physical body and even its spiritual veins, and this forbidden technique was to prevent such a thing from happening.

The third is that Chu Xiaoxiao and Luoshan were pregnant when they lived in the mountain behind the Heavenly Peak, but they were not pregnant when they were captured by the Demon Gate. It is suspected that she gave birth to a son in Lintianmen.

These three news seem to be unrelated, but in fact, I didn't care much about the first and second news, but I was more interested in the third news that I suspected of having a son.

But later I learned that the water spirit bead has the effect of warming the soul, even if Chu Xiaoxiao really gave birth to a son, it is impossible to use such a vicious forbidden technique to seal her own child, but if it is combined with the effect of the water spirit bead, without caring whether the water spirit bead will be damaged and regardless of the exhaustion of one's own cultivation, it is very likely to achieve a truly harmless but beneficial sealing ability by combining the three and applying it to one person's body.

Although this possibility is not too great, and the theory of sealing for a thousand years is indeed too illusory.

But then I got another piece of news that when Chu Xiaoxiao was brought back to the Demon Gate, her body was very weak, and she was suspected to have fallen several realms due to cultivation.

This has to make me deepen my suspicion of the possibility of this matter, plus Ye Qingfeng placed such a little doll in the ancestral hall of the back mountain, he Ye Qingfeng thought that it had been a thousand years, and this kind of false doubt would not exist......"

......

In a similar period of time, there was another place where similar discussions were taking place.

He Ye Qingfeng thought that this matter had passed for a thousand years, and there was no real doubt. It was seamless, but he ignored his biggest problem. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I don't know what the problem is?"

"The problem lies in Ye Qingfeng, he is not only a person with great strength, but also a poor person who is too kind, hehe, a poor person who values love and righteousness. ”

"Hey, don't sell the lawsuit, it's an appetite. ”

"You skinny monkey, you're a monkey anxious. What's more, back then, Ye Qingfeng and the orphan of the Luo clan were originally the two proud disciples of the sixth generation pavilion master of Lintianmen, Gu Chen, but at the same time they fell in love with Chu Xiaoxiao, the holy daughter of the Heavenly Demon Gate, you should know this. ”

"I heard a little about this, I heard that Ye Qingfeng couldn't fight for his junior brother to fall off the mountain in the end, and he watched his junior brother hug the beauty, but he was sad alone. ”

"Yes, Ye Qingfeng was already in love back then, but he and Chu Xiaoxiao lived in the ancestral hall of the mountain behind Lintian Pavilion, and we couldn't see it when we looked up, but it was difficult for us to understand the pain in this, but just thinking about such a picture made me feel sour, not to mention that the person concerned personally experienced such emotional trauma, how to endure it.

Later, I didn't know what happened, Ye Qingfeng knelt in front of Gu Chen in front of many elders and disciples in the lobby of Lintian Pavilion, and repeated in his mouth, 'The disciple is not filial, and he is ashamed of the teachings of the teacher', and then destroyed his sword Splitting Heaven Divine Sword in front of Gu Chen, and then resolutely went down the mountain. The disciples went to inquire indirectly, but Gu Chen didn't speak for a long time at that time, and finally just sighed, and did not stop Ye Qingfeng from leaving. ”

"Sect Master, this story really makes people want to hear it, especially when it comes to the secret matter of the so-called head of the first sect in the mainland. But we're not supposed to be talking about whether that kid is a remnant of the Luo clan. ”

"You are all anxious, I don't mean that this is irrelevant, but to clarify the cause and effect, so that you can know Ye Qingfeng's past, so that you can really determine how likely it is that the child is the remnant of the Luo clan.

A thousand years ago, there was a sudden news that the ancestral elder of Lintianmen, whose original name was Luoshan, was the orphan of the Luoshan clan, and the mainland sect besieged Lintianmen after learning about it, you should be very clear, most of us are insiders and indirect participants.

At that time, many of our sects were unwilling to openly oppose Lintianmen, so they could only instigate others to make a move, and at most secretly send some people to help, so the overall strength was actually not as good as Lintianmen, if it weren't for the fact that two of the five great elders of Lintian Pavilion and Guchen were in retreat, and there were also amorous peak lords and medicine king valley lords going out, there would not be enough people to besiege Lintianmen that time.

However, the news leaked, and Luoshan didn't want to involve the sect, so he had already run away with Chu Xiaoxiao alone.

The people who besieged Lintianmen fought for a long time, forcing Guchen to passively go out, and as soon as Guchen came out, the situation of equal strength became one-sided, and few of the besiegers came back alive in the end.

However, it was precisely because of that passive exit that Guchen had no hope of breaking through, and he also lost his already small lifespan, which is said to have only ten years to live. Ye Qingfeng learned that the sect was in trouble, and rushed back after all, he didn't dare to arrive before Guchen passively went out, and after learning the situation of Guchen and the truth of the siege of Lintianmen, it was his fault that he cried, and the whole person seemed to be going crazy, if he wasn't blocked by Guchen, it was very likely that he would kill himself on the spot.

Later, Gu Chen took Ye Qingfeng to the secret room, and the two didn't know what they talked about. In the end, Ye Qingfeng took over as the master of Lintian Pavilion, and the name Ye Qingfeng was also changed at that time, so I won't say much about this.

Besides, since Luoshan ran out of Lintian Pavilion, even if he knew that Guchen was out of the customs, he didn't want to go back to Lintian Pavilion to drag down the master.

When the Baipai learned that Luoshan did not return to Tianmen, they were even more unscrupulous, and finally killed Luoshan in the endless sea siege, forcing Luoshan to commit suicide without revealing half of useful information.

But at that time, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't be found, and by the time the various factions knew about Chu Xiaoxiao's news again, she had already been imprisoned by the Heavenly Demon Gate. Hmph, although the strength of the Heavenly Demon Gate is good, it can only be comparable to the Lintian Pavilion at most, and the real strength is definitely not as good as the Lintian Pavilion, how can it be able to resist the persecution of the hundred factions.

However, that day, the Demon Gate was also aware of current affairs, and the news learned from Chu Xiaoxiao was shared with the world, and even let us go to witness it with the people of the Heavenly Alliance, the Heavenly Demon Gate was so single, and later found out that there was really no information, so everyone gave up, neither we nor the Heavenly Alliance really needed to provoke this neutral sect like Lintianmen, in case it was too late to cry if it was pushed to the counterforces. ”

"Sect Master, you've gone off topic again, and the child's business is the point. ”

"Hahaha, isn't this just about to say, since Ye Qingfeng has been the seventh generation of pavilion masters, he has also accepted so many apprentices for thousands of years, and there is no shortage of orphans among them. But only this orphan named Lin Luo neither confiscated him as an apprentice, nor did he let him worship under others, but left him alone to live in the ancestral hall of the back mountain.

The Houshan Ancestral Hall is a place where the Luoshan couple has lived for many years, and it can definitely be regarded as Ye Qingfeng's sad place, how could such a sensitive place casually let an orphan picked up from outside live.

If we look at this orphan as the child of Luoshan and Chu Xiaoxiao, wouldn't many things be straightened out a little.

Because it is the child of Luoshan and Chu Xiaoxiao, it is not logical to let this child live in the ancestral hall of the mountain behind it.

Because it is the child of Luoshan and Chu Xiaoxiao, Ye Qingfeng actually doesn't want to see this child every day, let alone take this child as an apprentice, how can this kind of masochistic behavior that will hurt his heart once he sees it, so throwing this child to the place where his parents lived to live by himself is out of sight and out of mind.

Another reason is that Ye Qingfeng's abnormal behavior in front of Guchen twice back then seemed to have something to do with the falling mountain, what happened in this, what made him so out of shape, did he do anything sorry for the falling mountain, and felt guilty, so if he was guilty, take the initiative to tell this child that Houshan Zutang is where his parents lived and lived, and let that child live there well, is it considered a kind of compensation?

and Ye Qingfeng actually took the initiative to send his baby granddaughter to the child as a playmate since childhood.

There are so many unbelievable things, as long as the premise is that this child is the child of Luoshan and Chu Xiaoxiao, it seems that it can be said clearly, although everything is mixed together and it is not clear, and there is not much empirical evidence.

There is a certain possibility of the thousand-year seal, although the possibility is very small, but at least it is possible, the child in the back mountain from Ye Qingfeng's various abnormal behaviors also show that this child may be the child of the fallen mountain, although there are various contradictions in this possibility.

But we just need to know that it's possible. ”

"Ahem, Sect Master, you said so much, aren't you still unsure?"

"For the matter of the falling family, there is no need to really confirm it again, I have said so much, I want to tell you that this orphan in the back mountain has the possibility of being a child of the falling mountain, and as long as the existence of this possibility can be proven, in other words, as long as we are not completely sure that the child is not the child of the falling mountain, we must act, because we do not move, naturally someone will act, and when the time comes, if it may become a fact, then when others laugh, we can only watch. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Dao Master, I understand. ”

"Everything is arranged?"

"Rest assured ......"

......

Yajuli next to a pond in Lintian Pavilion.

A middle-aged man in white clothes and white hair sat opposite each other to an old man in black clothes and a black face.

"Hey, you're going to enjoy it, old ghost. This bamboo leaf green is really a fairy brew. ”

"If you like it, take a pot and go. ”

"That's a good feeling, it's rare that you can be so generous. ”

"Hey, I don't know when I'll see you again. It's just a pot of wine, so why be reluctant. ”

The one who praised the wine was the black old man who came to the back mountain to find the forest five years ago, and it was not Ye Qingfeng who sent the wine.

"Actually, I don't want to take that kid away now, that kid obviously has a lot of feelings for him, so he can live a little more comfortably, what do I don't want to do, but this time I have to take him away. The old man shook his head and said.

"Are you sure they'll be doing it during this inner competition?" Ye Qingfeng asked.

"This is already a certainty, they have long doubted the identity of the falling forest. This is also no way, since we chose to let him live in this back mountain, for us, we would have thought that this day would come. And for them, the hundred-year competition of Lintianmen, inviting all factions to watch the ceremony, is the easiest opportunity to insert masters to come in.

If they missed this opportunity to send Gao Xiu to act as a person, they would have to wait for the next suitable opportunity, who knew that it was the Year of the Monkey. Besides, the Lintianmen Hundred Years Contest has distracted the attention of Lintianmen, and you say that they take it for granted that the defense of this back mountain is naturally looser than usual, and what is the probability that we are no longer young, and we have no time or energy to bear the price of regret, since we have already released the bait, we should no longer have a fluke mentality. ”

Maybe the old man black's words touched Ye Qingfeng, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Hey, okay, if you want to shelter him so that he can live a good and stable life, and you want him to know his biological parents, so that he can live without a bad soul, the former must keep secrets, and the latter must tell secrets and let secret people find out secrets. This is a dilemma, and I have long understood why I should deceive myself. ”

Ye Qingfeng shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"Old ghost, you don't have to think too much. Go ahead with the plan. ”

"It's okay, although these people didn't seem to participate in the siege a thousand years ago, but they just didn't pierce that layer of fig leaf, do you still want to expect that we won't know that it was behind their backs? ”

"Gaga, the leaders sent by the various factions this time are at least at the level of elders with real power, enough for them to eat a pot and stop for a while. ”

The old man said it easily, but his eyes were frighteningly white.

"When the time comes, I will open an opening in the south of the protective array, you can grasp it when you use the spirit rune, but don't really lose the energy of the main array, I still want to trap and kill a few more people." ”

"Alright, got it. When I left, I took the wine. ”

......
