Volume VII, Chapter 134, Old Things
Zhou Xiqin woke up in a daze, there was no pain in her body, it turned out that the wounds all over her body were covered with ointment, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xue Zhongqiao.
Zhou Xiqin smiled and said, "Girl, somehow, I'm so happy to look at you." ”
Xue Zhongqiao replied: "I look at my sister, and I like it very much, as if I saw it a long time ago." ”
Fang Tianmu was standing on the side of the bed, hearing this, and suddenly realized that Xue Zhongqiao's identity may not be ordinary, the first time he saw this girl, he was in a very good mood, and he was looking forward to meeting her, could it be that Xue Zhongqiao was also a reincarnation? But this idea was quickly denied by Fang Tianmu, unlike Mu Ziyun and Zhou Xiqin, what Xue Zhongqiao gave himself was not a sense of reincarnation and fate, but an emotion, which made Fang Tianmu feel that he had become real and knew the warmth and cold.
As he was talking, the wooden stake on the top of the bed fell down, and it was heading towards Xue Zhongqiao's head, Fang Tianmu followed closely and lifted the wood away, but Xue Zhongqiao still fell into ashes. The girl on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Xue Zhongqiao: "Miss Qiao, hurry back to your small courtyard, this house is full of soft things, and it can't stand the toss." ”
Xue Zhongqiao replied: "Yes, I have to go back quickly." ”
Half an hour later, Zhou Xiqin, Fang Tianmu, Shen Yu and Xue Zhongqiao gathered in the small courtyard protected by the fire barrier of many mortals.
Xue Zhongqiao told Fang Tianmu about her experience, she was on that island, but the disaster fell, she was hit by the waves to another place, and an old man showed her the way and let her sleep in the barrel. And she slept for more than ten days, and when she woke up, she was already in Changting Lake, and it was Shen Yu who fished herself up.
When the Shen clan learned of Xue Zhongqiao's origins, they generously accepted her and used the fire of mortal innocence to forge a strong place for her to help her escape the calamity. Don't look at Xue Zhongqiao wandering in all directions, but she is not like a bumpy person, as the youngest daughter of the patriarch of the Xue clan who is the most noble human race in the Four Beast Domains, whether it is temperament or conversation, it is not comparable to the Shen clan in this thousand years, which is also one of the reasons why the Shen clan has great kindness to Xue Zhongqiao.
Xue Zhongqiao consciously bothered the Shen family for many days, in fact, she wanted to leave for a long time, she didn't want to reduce her calamity to the people around her, otherwise, how could she abandon the family in such a situation and sneak into this strange world, but the Shen family was too enthusiastic, and kept it again and again, so that it stayed to this day.
And after meeting Fang Tianmu again, somehow, she was full of joy and felt that she had a lot of peace. At this time, he was looking at Fang Tianmu, and he didn't know what to think, and suddenly said, "Will you take me away?" ”
Fang Tianmu barely paused and replied, "Okay." After that, he almost flew directly into the sky with Xue Zhongqiao, but Shen Yu dragged him to death.
Shen Yu said: "Qiao girl, what are you doing, you just said a few words, and you are leaving?" Oh - I kind of understand, why did he come to your yard, it turned out that you were good. ”
In the past, she would definitely refute such a joke with a bad reputation, but she was full of rhyme in her heart, she only smiled shallowly, shook her head, and didn't answer.
Fang Tianmu hadn't forgotten his business, he asked Shen Yu about the news of Jiang Chang Danpu.
It just so happened that three or two small people walked in at this time, all of them were cultivators, but they were servants, and the strongest one was already in the realm of Zhong Li, and the man said to Shen Yu: "Miss Yu, the old men here know everything, the fourth master said, you just play, don't worry, the person who comes is a guest, you have to entertain yourself." ”
Shen Yu replied: "Got it, you go back and ask my fourth uncle if you have heard of a person named Jiang Chang Danpu." ”
The servant retreated, and Fang Tianmu asked Shen Yu about the origin of this clan's childish fire.
Shen Yu didn't see it, and said the secret history of two thousand years ago, in fact, two thousand years ago, although the Shen clan was a big family, it was not a famous family, and it did not inherit the fire of mortality, and the history of the Shen clan can be traced back to more than 7,000 years ago, similar to many ethnic groups, they have experienced the cycle of glory and loneliness, if you want to endure, you must dare to give up, Shen clan in five thousand years, moved more than 20 foundations, sandwiched in many forces, it is not easy.
But two thousand years ago, the Shen clan had a vein, and there was a son in the vein, named Shenjing River, after practicing to the realm of abandonment, he was injured by the evil beast, and since then he has been disabled and half of his body is destroyed. In order to save himself, he crawled all over the sea with his hands, looking for the elixir everywhere. Once in distress, he was broken by the stone tiger (demonic beast), fell into the poison valley, survived for forty-one days with tenacity and perseverance, climbed on the stone wall for more than twenty days alone, and his hands were ground so that the bones leaked out, and finally he could not be saved, and died on the cliff, and his body was dried and petrified.
But before he died, this Shenjing River sent a letter to the family thousands of miles away, and seven years later fell back to the clan, telling the clan that his body must be found within ten years and brought back to the clan. But no one was willing to look for him back then, only a brother of his lineage, who traveled thousands of miles into the poison valley, finally found his body, and brought it back, his brother's name was Shen Zhang, after returning to the clan land, he died of deep poisoning.
The people of the original vein wanted to bury the two, but the coffin suddenly ignited a fire, it turned out that the Shenjing River found a flame of a high-level fire in the world in the poison valley, and wanted to bring it back, but he knew that the limit was approaching, so he stored it in his own belly, relying on a utensil, using his own flesh and bones as the material, raising it for ten years at most. Shen Jinghe knew that only people from his own line would come to find his body, so he did not make this matter clear in the letter, so as to leave a great fortune for the people of his own lineage.
Sure enough, it is a great fortune, the corpse of Shen Jinghe still retains the soil material that bred the mortal fire in the poison valley, and the people of this vein finally figured out the formula of the soil material for thirty years, and since then the mortal fire has finally been inherited, and that vein has also become the main vein of the Shen clan because of the mortal fire, and has grown and grown.
But the Shen clan did not use the fire of mortality to invade any force, but after becoming strong, they chose to live in seclusion on the shore of Changting Lake, relying on strong strength to protect the descendants of the peace and security.
As soon as he finished saying this, the servant walked back and said, "Miss Yu, the fourth old man has checked it in the scriptures of the clan, and there is only one record about Jiangchang Danpu, which is a thousand years ago, when the family ushered in three cultivators, two men and one woman, namely Li Bulian, Jiang Chang Danpu and Chen Xubai. Jiang Chang Danpu and Chen Xubai are kind by nature, but Li Buhuan is interested in the alien fire in the clan. ”
Shen Yu interjected at this time: "I moved my mind, hiss.... I remember that it was only 800 years ago that the family let go of its control over the mortal flame. ”
"Yes." The servant replied.
Shen Yu explained to everyone that the Shen clan was afraid of causing disaster, so they never allowed the fire of Fanzhi to leak out, but a thousand years ago, the fire of Fanzhi was still known to the outside world, and foreign forces continued to harass the Shen family, like Jiangchang Danpu, these three people actually came to the name of Fanzhi, eight hundred years ago, the Shen family simply disclosed the secret of Fanzhi Huo, and said the poisonous valley, and even did not hide the soil materials for cultivating Fanzhi Huo, which really made Shen Shi usher in a peaceful day.
The servant continued: "In order to steal the fire of mortality, Li Buhuan stole into the forbidden land at night, but his inadequacy was noticed by the guards, and in a hurry, he killed the guards of our clan and broke into the forbidden land to seize the fire. What is hateful is that one of the sons and daughters of the patriarch happened to be practicing fire in the forbidden land that night, but they were killed by the dazed Li Buhuan, Li Buhuan did not understand fire art, and burned the entire forbidden land, but he took advantage of the chaos to escape. It's a pity that his two partners would rather die than believe that Li Buhuan could do this, and thought that the patriarch placed the blame for the fire in the forbidden land on them, and they didn't see Li Buhuan, so it was even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake. ”
The servant sighed and said: "The old patriarch died of his children, and he was also impulsive, thinking that those two people and Li Buhuan were a gang, so he called the strength of the whole clan to besiege and kill those two, but only killed Chen Xubai one, the woman Jiang Chang Danpu escaped by luck, but after a few years, the woman came alone to take revenge, the old patriarch hated it, and personally fought with it for several days, and finally killed the woman, but the poor woman was deceived by Li Buhuan's dog thief until she died. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Shen Yu asked.
The servant replied: "After a few years, the old patriarch finally realized that people like Chen Xubai and Jiang Chang Danpu should not be the vicious people, and after Li Buchuan was silent for several years, he thought that in order to settle the sin and show his reputation in the land of the beast clan, the old patriarch led several people to chase him for five years, and finally took it down, and the muddy ball, when he was dying, he told the truth, and he did not explain the truth to Jiang Chang Danpu, and pushed all the sins on the Shen family, and he promised Jiang Chang Danpu to come to take revenge together, The old patriarch heard the truth and remembered that the girl was dying, and suddenly muttered something inexplicable, saying, 'Why didn't he come?', 'He seemed to have burns on his body that night, didn't he say he wasn't in the fire that day?' ''It turned out to be really him'' Li Bulian! I won't let you go! ’”
The old patriarch knew that he had harmed two innocent lives, so he grabbed Li Bujian and returned to the clan, wanting to smash it to his children and Chen Xubai and Jiang Chang Danpu's graves to apologize, but then he remembered that the two poor people had already been crushed by himself, and the old patriarch was full of remorse, so he recorded the incident in the history of the clan, and asked Li Buhuan to write a confession to sue the dead. Then there was a serious illness, and within half a year, he drove away, and when he died, he still muttered that he had no fault in his life, but when he arrived, he killed four children. ”
Fang Tianmu immediately asked, "That Li Bulian, was he killed?" ”
Unexpectedly, the servant said: "Alas, he is really a thief, vicious, he deceived the old patriarch to be sincere in his sins, and asked for half a year's life, within half a year, sincerely for the people he harmed, and then he cut himself off, the old patriarch agreed, but half a year later, the patriarch died, Li Bujian desperately fled, although he was broken by the clansmen back then, but he had a trick to continue the soul, the soul is not dead, his life is not extinguished, as long as he finds the thing that possesses the soul, he can live, maybe he can live for a long time, alas, what a beast." ”
Fang Tianmu nodded to Shen Yu, and Shen Yu asked the servant to retreat.
After a while, Fang Tianmu told Shen Yu that he wanted to see Li Buhuan's confession back then, Shen Yu looked embarrassed, but for the sake of Xue Zhongqiao's face, he finally agreed.
