Chapter 031: A wake-up call from eight hundred years ago
Xu Lin returned to the room in the small courtyard and lay tiredly on the Taishi chair, wanting to sleep for a while, but he couldn't sleep.
The repair of the trial array is not a problem, and it can be solved perfectly by giving him a few hours.
What puzzled him the most now was the Shangqing Sect.
A huge Shangqing Sect, with nearly one million disciples, disappeared out of thin air. It doesn't exist in the present, it doesn't exist in history, it feels like it never existed.
But how is this possible?
He is obviously from the Shangqing Sect, how could it not exist?
Could it be that this world is not the original world at all, but a new world?
The Huashan in front of him, although it is not the Huashan in his memory, but the swordsmanship of the Huashan faction has not changed at all, and it is no different from the previous life, how can this be explained?
He frowned, and as soon as he thought about it, he thought of the Pure Yang Patriarch and the female ghost in the pendant.
How do they explain it?
Is the Pure Yang Patriarch his own master?
Who is that female ghost?
Why did she give herself such a sense of familiarity?
Why does she have the same face as Luo Qing?
The questions were stacked one after another, making Xu Lin's head as big as a fight.
After the resurrection, he was forced to come to Huashan, and he planned to settle down, repair the meridians peacefully, and then cultivate quietly, and then return to the Shangqing Sect when he recovers.
But everything in front of him messed up his plan.
"Even the Shangqing Sect doesn't know where it went, how to return?"
Xu Lin had a headache, closed his eyes slightly, and thought hard about the ins and outs of all this, but the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and the only useful clue was the green pendant.
He took the pendant in his hand, groped carefully, looked at the gray airflow inside, and muttered, "Perhaps, you should ask Luo Qing's little lady about the situation." ”
He nodded, feeling that Luo Qing should be a breakthrough.
"Huh, where did the little girl go? Why didn't you see it?"
"Strange. ”
"According to that little girl's temperament, she monitors herself so intensively, I'm afraid she already knew that I went to the trial array, but why didn't she kill me and ask the guilt thoroughly?"
"When has this been?"
Xu Lin was puzzled, just as Luo Qing didn't treat him well, he didn't treat Luo Qing very much. However, compared to Ouyang Bo, the deputy head and others, she is not very malicious towards herself, and she can barely be regarded as half of her own person.
He pondered for a moment, then looked up at the room.
Han Houzhong was practicing heavy sword swordsmanship in the courtyard, and looking at his appearance, he obviously couldn't put down the new heavy sword.
Yesterday, he took the door back to the Armory Pavilion and rebuilt it to his liking.
The form of the door panel has basically not changed, except that in the middle of the low end of the door panel, a sword hilt has been added, and one side has been transformed into a serration, which looks majestic and hideous.
Xu Lin looked at his excited appearance, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said, "Han Houzhong, come here, I have something to ask you." ”
"Okay, Master Xu, I'll go over right away. Han Houzhong stopped his movements, wiped the sweat on his head casually with his sleeve, dragged the giant sword, and ran over excitedly and stood at the door of the room.
He laughed, patted the body of the giant sword, and said, "Master Xu, how are I practicing?
Xu Lin snorted and said, "It's not good, just your cultivation, do you still want to win against Luo Qing?" practice for another ten years and eight years, and wait for the eighth layer of condensation." ”
"Is it so bad?" Han Houzhong's face was bitter, and he muttered in a low voice, "I feel that I am about to be invincible, hehe, what kind of Liu Xian, Xiang Yang, and Xiang Fei of Lao Shizi are just a bunch of scum, and then dare to find trouble, look at my gate board, and shoot them directly one by one!"
"Get out! Say you're fat, you're still panting!" Xu Lin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Although this swordsmanship is very suitable for you, making your swordsmanship improve by leaps and bounds, it is only in swordsmanship." Once you encounter a monk above the fourth layer of condensation, regardless of the magic weapon and other spells, just relying on the body technique and the sword technique, you can not get close at all, what do you use to shoot away?"
Han Houzhong opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but his mouth was open for a long time, his face was red, and he still couldn't find a reason to refute. Although he was stupid, he also knew that Xu Lin was telling the truth, and his low cultivation was indeed his shortcoming.
"Okay, don't be reckless, I called you here to ask you something serious. ”
"Well, Master Xu, you ask. Han Hou nodded heavily, put away his joking face, and looked at Xu Lin very solemnly, as well as his right hand that kept rubbing it, and the dark green pendant in his right hand.
His gaze suddenly froze, staring at the pendant, his face suddenly sank, and then changed greatly, and even his breathing became short.
"What?" Xu Lin noticed his behavior, raised his eyebrows, looked at him with interest, pushed the pendant in front of him, and asked, "Have you seen it?"
"Yes, it's Senior Sister Luo's. ”
"Luo Qing's?" Xu Lin was shocked, and suddenly thought of the appearance of the female ghost, Luo Qing actually had one?
What does this mean?
Xu Lin's heart was shocked, and he vaguely seemed to have captured something.
He looked at Han Houzhong solemnly and asked, "Where did she get it from?"
Han Houzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
"I just know that my sister has always worn it carefully, treating it as a treasure and never leaving her. I heard that she was born with it, and it was more important than her life. ”
Han Houzhong stared at the pendant tightly, and said with great concern: "But, how is it in Master Xu's hands? Senior Sister Luo, something can't happen to her, right?"
"What do you think? Of course she's fine, this pendant isn't hers, it just looks a little similar. ”
Han Houzhong let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared." ”
"You deserve to be scared to death!" Xu Lin glared at him angrily and said, "Listen to you, she brought this pendant out of her mother's womb?"
"No, no," Han Houzhong waved his hand again and again, and said, "Senior Sister Luo is not a normal person, no, what I mean is that Senior Sister Luo is not selected from the mortal world under the mountain like other disciples." ”
"Oh, then how did she get here?" Xu Lin looked at him and said, "Tell me everything you know." ”
"Well," Han Hou nodded and said, "However, I'm also hearsay." At that time, I hadn't started yet, I didn't know if it was true or not, Master Xu, just listen to it, don't take it seriously. ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, say it quickly. ”
"I said that it was four years ago, everything was normal and calm on the Xilean Mountain, but the alarm bell of Huashan, which had not moved for hundreds of years, suddenly rang for no reason. ”
"Master Xu, you may not know that this Huashan alarm bell is not an ordinary bell, but a treasure of the sect that cannot be ringed, and only when it indicates that the sect is in a catastrophe, it will automatically warn. ”
Xu Lin nodded clearly, and Han Houzhong continued: "As soon as the alarm bell rings, the crisis is coming, and the sect will immediately fall into chaos. ”
"All the disciples on the mountain were frightened, and they still thought that the Liuyun Sect had attacked, and everyone was ready for a big battle. The elders, the heads, and even the Supreme Elder all went out to find out the cause of the warning. ”
"But everyone has surveyed almost all the places in the sect, but they still haven't found anything. ”
"But when the alarm bell rings, something big will happen, and this matter cannot be so peaceful. ”
"Elder Taishang and the head of the sect were puzzled, so they had to enter the ancestral hall and consult the ancestral classics, and then they found out the reason. ”
It turned out that the warning was not a catastrophe at all, but a legacy left by an ancestor named Chunyang to future generations more than 800 years ago. ”
Later, the head of the family left Huashan alone, and hurriedly went to Dangyin Mountain, and three days later, he brought Senior Sister Luo back from Dangyin Mountain. ”
Pure Yang Patriarch?
Xu Lin repeated these two words in his mouth, his face changed suddenly, and a storm broke out in his heart.
These two names directly touched the deepest part of Xu Lin's heart.
He immediately felt that this testament was very unusual, very abnormal, and even a little unbelievable.
The identity of the Pure Yang Patriarch was already doubtful in his heart, and he was even more impressed by that testament.
On the first day she came here, under his every kind of questioning, Luo Qing once admitted that the reason why she went to Bajiao Mountain to pick her up was because of the legacy of an ancestor.
"Testament, testament?" Xu Lin muttered in a low voice, pacing back and forth.
Because of the training, Luo Qing was taken to the Huashan faction, and because of the training, she was designated as the only person to bring herself back to the Huashan faction.
These two testaments should be the same, and even if they weren't, their relationship must be close and abnormal.
But what kind of testament is this testament? What kind of content is it, so that the time span of it can reach a strange 800 years?
Is there any connection to one's resurrection?
Xu Lin was puzzled, looked at Han Houzhong very solemnly, and asked, "What kind of testament?"
Han Houzhong's face was bitter, and he said, "I don't know, but I just heard that it is a testament related to the rise and fall of the sect." ”
Xu Lin sighed secretly, a little helpless, Han Houzhong's status was low, and he didn't have the opportunity to contact such important information at all.
"What happened in Dangyin Mountain?"
Han Houzhong looked at Xu Lin, who was worried, and said, "The head of the house went alone, and I haven't heard of the specific details." It's just that I heard that when the head came back, his soul was seriously injured and he spent two years in retreat before he fully recovered. ”
"Moreover, Senior Sister Luo at that time was also very weak, and her meridians were extremely seriously damaged, so she couldn't cultivate at all, so she had to stay in the outer gate for a while to cultivate. ”
"Oh, that pendant that looks exactly the same was brought up the mountain by Senior Sister Luo at that time. ”
"Hmm. Xu Lin nodded, carefully looked at the pendant in his hand, and couldn't help but let out a sigh, this pendant is not only an extremely critical clue, but it also disrupts the whole thing even more confusingly.
"Where did Luo Qing go? Why didn't you come?"
"I don't know," Han shook his head and said, "I heard from a few senior brothers, she seems to have gone down the mountain." ”
"Going down the mountain?" Xu Lin was stunned, very incomprehensible, "Isn't she anxiously waiting for the autumn test, and even dares to refuse the top secret mission of the master? This autumn test will start soon, she is not waiting on the mountain, what is she going to do down the mountain?"
Han Houzhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know. ”
Xu Lin sighed slightly, feeling that the timing was unfortunate, and said, "If you don't know, you don't know, she has to come back sooner or later." ”
