Chapter 208: The sky has changed
"What's going on? Are all the monsters gone? The Black Mist Forest is completely ...... Scattered?"
In that corridor, Lin Ye and Lin Shan were only trapped for seven or eight days, but they didn't expect that after escaping from the inside, such a huge change had taken place outside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Black Mist Forest, which had terrified all clans before, had now become not much different from ordinary mountain forests. Because in this black mist forest, the original trees were not tall enough, but now that the black mist has dispersed, the demon beasts have no place to hide and no restrictions, so they naturally scatter away.
"Brother Ye, it's better to disperse. Let's go back to the city! If we spend the night outside, we may eventually be attacked by monsters. ”
Lin Shan saw that the sky was gradually getting dark, wiped the oil on his mouth, and suggested.
"Okay, Shanzi, I don't know if Lin Huang brought all the clansmen back to Yuanfeng City when we weren't there at the time. ”
Such a big change has taken place in the Black Mist Forest, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with Lin Ye, and what he is worried about now is whether something will happen to his clansmen. After all, the Lin clan is the foundation of his life, if something happens to those clansmen, his previous hard work and accumulation with Lin Shan in the past few months will be wasted.
"Brother Ye, Brother Lin Huang was born in the army, as long as he finds out that we haven't come back after dark, he will definitely take the clansmen back first. Lin Shan said as he explored the way forward.
"Well, Lin Huang used to be a centurion under Dong Yuanchang, and he has entered the Black Mist Forest a lot of times, so he should know that at night, he can't stay in the Black Mist Forest. ”
There were no demon beasts in the Black Mist Forest, and there was a little guy leading the way in front, Lin Ye and Lin Shan were also full, and they were fast when they started to walk.
However, when he was about to reach the edge of the Black Mist Forest, the little guy suddenly screamed and ran in one direction.
"Little guy, where are you going, the way back to Yuanfeng City is here!" Lin Ye didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly chased after the little guy.
Rushing forward, only to find that the little guy was actually next to a mutilated skeleton that was obviously a human being, Lin Ye glanced at it and said strangely: "Little guy, are you staring at this skeleton, is there any purpose?"
"Brother Ye, this skeleton can't be someone the little guy knows, it can't be Lin Huang's big brother, right?" Lin Shan also rushed over, guessing with some panic.
"Probably not, you look at the marks on this white bone, especially the part that has been bitten by the demon beast, it has been at least a few months. ”
Lin Ye squatted down, shook his head after taking a look, and then suddenly looked around, and then remembered, "Shanzi, this person is really someone we know, guess who it is?"
"Do we know each other, are they also our clansmen?" Lin Shan said suspiciously, "I can't guess." ”
"If you look around here, is it familiar? Although the black fog has faded, I think you should remember this place as well. Lin Ye prompted.
"Huh...... It's a little familiar, by the way, Brother Ye, this is the place where we first entered the Black Mist Forest. Later, we also went out from here, and we found out at that time...... All the males of the Lin clan have died here, should this corpse be ...... It's the former patriarch Lin Liangzhu, right?"
Lin Shan also thought about it, squatted down and looked at the clothes torn by the demon beast, and immediately confirmed, "That's right, that's right, this is what Lin Liangzhu was wearing that day." But, Brother Ye, why did the little guy suddenly take us to find Lin Liangzhu's bones?"
"Yes, I can't figure this out either, it stands to reason that the little guy has never seen Lin Liangzhu at all, and the last time we came out of the depths of the Black Mist Forest, we also passed by this place. But the little guy is not interested in Lin Liangzhu's bones at all, why ...... today"
Lin Ye couldn't figure out the abnormal behavior of the little guy, so he could only focus on Lin Liangzhu's incomplete bones on the ground, and suddenly, his eyes flashed, and from the position of Lin Liangzhu's corpse waist, he found a delicate jade pendant, and immediately reached out and picked it up.
"Huh, this jade pendant is so delicate and beautiful, Brother Ye, I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful jade pendant on Lin Liangzhu's body. It is estimated that if this piece of jade pendant is taken to the pawnshop, it can at least be exchanged for a few thousand taels of silver, right?"
Seeing that Lin Ye had picked up a beautiful jade pendant, Lin Shan immediately lowered his head and searched for it, "I'll see if there is anything else of value yet!"
But Lin Ye stared at this exquisite jade pendant, looked at the word "Chen" on it, and suddenly remembered it and said: "I remember, Shanzi, you see this jade pendant, it doesn't look like the one I was snatched by Lin Liangzhu when I was seven years old." It was left to me by my mother, but it was snatched by Lin Liangzhu. ”
"Yes, there seems to be such a thing, Brother Ye, I was still young at the time, but I heard my mother say that that piece of jade pendant was left to you by your mother, as the only token to recognize your biological father. Lin Shan also remembered after Lin Ye's reminder.
However, after all, it was a long time ago, and Lin Shan was still young at the time, so he didn't remember it very clearly. But Lin Ye has cultivated the Dao technique, his thinking is clear, and all the memories are in his mind, as long as he thinks about it carefully, he will remember them all.
"Yes, this piece of jade pendant is a token left to me by my mother. When my mother died, she told me that my father, who had passed away long ago, was not my real father. My mother was kindly rescued by him on the way to escape, and in order to be able to give her a legitimate identity to enter the Lin family, he pretended to marry my mother. And at that time, my mother's womb was already pregnant with me......"
Looking at this jade pendant that had been lost and recovered after ten years, Lin Ye sighed a lot, "My mother fled from distant Jizhou back then, she was a weak woman, and she was pregnant, and I don't know how many monsters and villains she escaped halfway. And this jade pendant is the only token that I recognize with my biological father......"
"Great! Brother Ye, now that the token jade pendant has been recovered, maybe, you will have a chance to recognize your biological father! ”
After Lin Shan heard the reason clearly, he congratulated Lin Yedao.
"It's impossible, Shanzi, don't say I don't know where my mother fled to Yuanfeng City. Even if I knew, after so many years, just relying on such a jade pendant, wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
Lin Ye smiled, he didn't take it seriously, he just took this piece of jade pendant as a souvenir for his mother, hung it on his waist, and then called the little guy and continued to rush to Yuanfeng City.
"Patriarch...... Lin Shan ......"
Out of the Black Mist Forest, Lin Ye and Lin Shan heard bursts of shouts not far away, it was Lin Huang's voice, and some other clansmen.
"Hey, Lin Huang, we're here ......"
Hearing their shouts, Lin Ye hurriedly beckoned to them and shouted as well.
"Brother Lin Huang, we are here! We are out......"
As soon as he came out of the Black Mist Forest, he could see familiar people, and Lin Shan also waved his hand excitedly and shouted.
"It's the patriarch and Lin Shan, they're both still alive. Quick, let's get over ......"
Lin Huang, who was in the distance, heard the response of the two, and immediately rushed over with seven or eight clansmen, and said to Lin Ye excitedly: "Patriarch, great." I knew that you were not dead, and that you would come out of the Black Mist Forest. I took my people and searched around the Black Mist Forest every day these days, and finally waited for you to come out. ”
"Lin Huang, how do you know that we are not dead?"
Lin Ye was also very moved by Lin Huang's ability to lead his clansmen to search for the whereabouts of the two of them for several days, which also showed that he had made the right choice to recruit Lin Huang in the first place.
"If the patriarch token of the Prayer Mansion is not broken for a day, it means that the patriarch is not dead. Therefore, I took turns to lead my clansmen to search around the Black Mist Forest......" Lin Huang explained.
"That's a good idea, the Patriarch Token is closely related to me. Once I die, the Patriarch Token will shatter, but as long as I am alive, unless the Prayer Mansion takes the initiative to remove me, I will always be the patriarch of the Lin clan, and the Patriarch Token will always exist. ”
Lin Ye nodded, and then asked Lin Huang again, "By the way, Lin Huang, what kind of changes have happened to the Dark Mist Forest these days, and why have all the demon beasts in it disappeared?"
"It's not just the changes in the Black Mist Forest! Patriarch, now the sky outside has completely changed. That day, I took the clansmen to wait left and right, and I couldn't see the patriarch you coming out, and I saw that the sky was about to get dark, so I had no choice but to take the clansmen back to Yuanfeng City first, and I planned to come back to look for you the next day. ”
Seeing that Lin Ye and Lin Shan both looked puzzled, Lin Huang carefully explained what happened after that day, "As a result, the next day, the people who came here found that the fog in the Black Mist Forest had completely dissipated overnight. All the demon beasts inside also ran out, and the high-level demon beasts ran farther into the deep forest. And some low-level demon beasts were running around, and many clans joined forces to round up most of the demon beasts. ”
"Well, I can imagine this, after all, without the cover of the black mist, the demon beasts will naturally run out and look for a new place to live. Lin Huang, you go on, just now you said that the sky has changed outside, what do you mean? Besides the Black Mist Forest, is there any change?" Lin Ye asked again.
"Yes, Brother Lin Huang, the demon beasts of the Black Mist Forest, I guessed about the same as Brother Ye. What do you mean by changing the sky? Could it be that there are any other major changes?" Lin Shan also asked strangely.
"Patriarch, you are trapped in this black mist forest, you may not know that our Great Qin Wu Kingdom has changed the sky. Emperor Wu was critically ill, and the queen controlled the government. It turned out that Chen Xi, the Seventh Prince, suddenly left in a hurry that day because he received the secret news that Emperor Wu was critically ill......" Lin Huang said.
"Emperor Wu is critically ill, this is indeed a big deal, but what does it have to do with us ordinary people, no matter which prince boards the plane, it shouldn't have much to do with us!" Lin Ye wondered.
"The key is here, the queen only has one daughter, no sons-in-law. In order to balance the relationship between the major princes, Emperor Wu had never set up a crown prince before, so there was an undercurrent between the princes. The news of Emperor Wu's critical illness spread, and all the princes immediately set up their own doors and divided the city. So much so that within six or seven days, the city lords of all the cities also defected to their respective princes and forces, and now the entire Great Qin Wu Kingdom is still a complete country on the surface, but in fact, it is ...... But it has been divided by several princes......"
Lin Huang said in one breath, "Moreover, the news I heard is that soon there will be a war between the several great princes, and even many martial arts holy sects will be involved. Help the princes they support to compete for the throne, and I'm afraid that the big war that will sweep Kyushu is about to start again. ”
"What? Several princes are divided and divided into feuds, competing for the throne, so ...... What about our Yuanfeng City? Which prince does our Yuanfeng City belong to?"
Originally, the power dispute in the court, no matter who became the emperor, had nothing to do with Lin Ye, a small patriarch. But once the prince seizes the throne and the mighty Kyushu goes to war, even if Lin Ye wants to be alone, I'm afraid he will have to get involved and act as cannon fodder for those princes to move to the supreme position.
Therefore, after hearing such a situation, Lin Ye was most concerned about which prince's power the Yuanfeng City where he was now located.
"Our Yuanfeng City is a third-level small city, and there are thousands of third-level cities like ours in the entire Great Qin Wu Kingdom, plus they are still in remote areas, I'm afraid those princes can't look down on them. However, on the day you disappeared, the patriarch, the Yang City Lord also disappeared, and according to Zhong Xiaotian, the prefect of the Prayer Mansion, the Yang City Lord's City Lord Token was shattered and he was already dead. Therefore, now we no longer have a city lord in Yuanfeng City, and it is completely taken over by the prefect Zhong Xiaotian......"
Lin Huang said and suddenly added, "By the way, there is also Lu Zihong, the military lieutenant of the left, who also seems to have died in the black mist forest, and his identity jade plate has also been shattered." Six days ago, Governor Zhong sent someone to take over the Zuo Wuwei Battalion immediately, if it weren't for the patriarch of your patriarch token still there, I'm afraid that Governor Zhong would also immediately send someone to take over the Right Wuwei Battalion and our Lin clan.
Patriarch, let's be careful, this Zhong Governor's Mansion is not simple, usually there is Yang City Lord, he has always been inconspicuous, but at such a critical time, he is resolute and resolute, and his means are not ambiguous at all. I guess maybe both City Lord Yang and Lu Zihong fell into his trap before they died......"
On the way back to Yuanfeng City, Lin Huang told Lin Ye and Lin Shan about the huge changes that had taken place in just six or seven days. It was not only the general trend changes in the entire Great Qin Martial Kingdom, but also the huge changes in the small Yuanfeng City, which made Lin Ye suddenly have a sense of urgency.
