Chapter Forty-Eight: The Catastrophe of Luofeng Valley - Part II

There are many things in life that cannot be chosen by ourselves, but for the road ahead, we must always have hope!

- Ouyang was ashamed

Dad stared ahead in a trance, apparently immersed in his own world, slowly recounting the dark memory.

"The other party has a group of four people, a young man, a rickety old man, and two young women, at first glance, they look no different from ordinary people, and they don't look like lonely souls, but when we move our hands, the strength of the other party is far beyond our imagination."

"A young woman, like a spider, uses a mixed mesh enchantment, the mesh is not only difficult to destroy, but also extremely sticky, live out of a spider desolate soul, your sixth uncle's body is immediately restricted, and the other woman on the other side, the body is as fast as lightning, never under your sixth uncle, the two women cooperate tacitly, as if the mind is connected, the other party still has two people who have not made a move, I and your sixth uncle have both fallen into a bitter battle, and in the end, it is your little aunt, with illusion 'floating sound' temporarily controlled the situation"

"Illusion floats?" I said, puzzled.

"Illusion Floating Sound is to create a realm around it through the special voice of the spellcaster, in the realm, except for the caster, the time dimension of everyone else is stretched, as if they have been slowed down several times, and no matter how fast the body is, it will become almost static. ”

Listening to the scene described by my father, I suddenly remembered a very similar scene, last night, the girl named Wind Chimes, didn't the last illusion used exactly the same?

"Dad, we met the Corpse King gang last night, and one of them was a girl...... "I was about to tell my dad what happened last night, but my dad interrupted me and said, "That's right, that's your little aunt, clan name: Wind Chimes!"

I couldn't help but be shocked, and I was looking at my father in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what happened last night?"

"Over the years, every time you leave the house, I have followed you almost all the time, from you being bullied by your classmates at school, to the arrival of Cho Yu, and the appearance of this Wu Zhen girl, I have seen almost everything in my eyes, but over the years, in your eyes, I am just a man who has nothing to do."

Looking at my dad's wry smile, I couldn't believe it was true.

"From childhood to adulthood, I have seen the grievances you have experienced in school, but I can't stand up rashly, I must hide in the deepest depths and become your most secret umbrella, both in order not to expose myself, but also to not expose you, not to expose the painstaking efforts of the clan to spread all the male clansmen of this generation and protect you, I can only hide in the corner and watch you go through everything alone, when you were crying alone outside, I also want to come forward to wipe your tears for you, but I know that I can't, for you, for the whole clan, I can'tMore importantly, I believe that if you are as great as you, you will one day stand up, and all this will not become an obstacle to you, and you will become the hope of the entire clan!"

Dad's words, let me feel a burst of indescribable feelings in my heart, happiness with bitterness, more seems to be remorse, I have always felt that my father has nothing to do, and even feel that my childhood grievances are caused by his indifference to me, never thought that his love has always been so close to me.

"Last night, I thought that Chopping Jade could deal with everything, but when the Corpse King appeared, I was completely taken aback, out of the understanding of the strength of the Corpse King, I wanted to wait for the opportunity to surprise the attack, but I accidentally encountered the change of Chopping Jade, which revealed the unknown secret of the prophecy baby girl, according to estimates, the prophecy baby girl should have reached the age of awakening, I didn't expect that there would be these hidden secrets in it, and finally let me know that when I encountered the Corpse King, the woman who was as fast as lightning among the four people on the other side turned out to be the predecessor of the prophecy baby girl”

"But last night's biggest mistake was that we didn't recognize the true face of the Corpse King, we always thought that the one who disguised himself as a teacher was the true body of the Corpse King, but the real Corpse King was just a manipulator, and the guy who seemed to be the most powerful and used vines was just disguised by the blood vine he manipulated."

"But how did the little aunt become an accomplice of the Corpse King?" I said, puzzled.

A look of pain crossed his father's face, and then he said: "There is an elder in the clan who is proficient in the desolate soul said that the corpse king blood smoke is good at sacrificing the stone blood vine with the blood of other living people after killing the opponent, and with the special ability of the stone blood vine, he will make the opponent he likes into a puppet corpse that can be controlled by him and retains the characteristics of his life, which is also the origin of his name as the corpse king."

Hearing this, I was a little sad and said, "That is, as early as that night, Aunt Wind Chime had already ......"

"That night, the wind chimes temporarily controlled the situation with a floating sound, although the other two women were strong, but they were also helpless in the realm of the wind chimes, the other two never made a move, but in the realm it seems that there is no ability to fight back, I waited for the opportunity to seal all four people with a seal, just thinking that the victory was in hand, I never thought, the illusion of the wind chimes stopped, and the young man suddenly broke out with the help of a violent vine, the ferocity of the momentum, so that the three of us were caught off guard, those vines are tough and indestructible, and the sky grows, and with poison, very difficult, he alone, let the three of us fall into a hard battle and it is difficult to break free。 Your little aunt had no choice but to forcibly activate the Floating Sound Illusion again, but in doing so, it put a heavy burden on her own body."

"With the last breath of force, the wind chimes will send me and your sixth uncle out of the realm, and let us return to the clan with the prophecy girl, she will be alone to contain the opponent and buy us time"

"Neither your sixth uncle nor I will leave her alone, especially your sixth uncle, because they are also the wind chimes of the eight horses of the moon...... It's his auxiliary!"

Dad said this, Wu Zhen and I looked at each other, the fate of the little aunt wind chime, we already know that she has become the "collection" of the corpse king, and at this time, I really sweated for the fate of the sixth uncle.

"Although your sixth uncle and I are both stubborn and unwilling to leave, but the other party is strong, and the three of them are by no means opponents, once those vines help the other three desolate souls break out of the seal, the consequences will be even more unimaginable, the death of the three of us is small, if the prophecy baby girl is also buried in our hands, then we will become the sinners of the whole clan"

"Just between me and your sixth uncle hesitated, a stinger on the stone blood vine broke free from the realm of the wind chime, and went straight to the baby girl in my arms, your sixth uncle was very fast, stepped forward and stopped the stinger with his body, but his body was highly poisonous, and he couldn't walk......"

Listening to my father's words, my heart sank!

"In the end, your sixth uncle forced each other to die, and begged me to return to the clan immediately with the prophecy baby girl to move the rescue soldiers, but I had to take the prophecy baby girl all the way back, and ran wildly until the early morning, before returning to the clan, only briefly explained the situation, and then fainted and fell unconscious"

"When I woke up, it was already noon the next day, and the news from the clansmen who went to Luofeng Valley to rescue me was: corpses are all over the field, and no survivors have been found!"

"Two days later, some of the clansmen who went to the rescue returned one after another, saying that the clansmen and the villagers of Luofeng Valley who were killed were tragic, and most of them could not even identify their identities. The rest of the clansmen died tragically, or it was difficult to identify them, and the mutilated corpses of the clansmen and villagers were mixed with the blood of the river, and your fourth uncle was picked out of this flesh and blood......"

After treatment, he finally saved his life, but his eyes were blind, his limbs were crippled, and under the huge stimulation, he also became delirious and crazy. In the battle of Luofeng Valley, the brothers who went to go, only I was able to retreat, which also made me shameless several times, and it was the great patriarch who entrusted the clan affairs to me again and again, so that I did not give up this life easily. ”

"The sixth uncle and ...... What about my father?, was there any news later?" I couldn't help but ask.

"At that time, your sixth uncle and little aunt had no news of the wind chimes, and your mother also worked hard to find out the news of your father, but she couldn't find even a corpse, and Hengtuo, who fought side by side with him and survived, was delirious and couldn't even ask half a clear sentence, poor your mother was grief-stricken, although she was pregnant with Liujia, her body was getting heavier and heavier, but she went back and forth to Luofeng Valley many times, all in vain"

"Half a year later, your mother is about to give birth, and she can't afford to go to Luofeng Valley, so she still entrusts the clansmen to look for it, looking forward to finding even half of his belongings, but everyone understands that in the past half a year, everything that can be found has been found, and those who should be buried in the ground have been buried, even those who can't be identified are buried together and buried in the ground, and then if you want to find a trace, I'm afraid it's more difficult than climbing to the sky."

"Before midsummer this year, because the "Constant Covenant" predicted that the reincarnation was about to be born in the clan, the entire Duyue clan was in full array, and even some small clan relics who were not valued all the year round and had few contacts were also recalled to the clan, and for a time the entire clan settlement was very popular and lively, and there were more than ten female clansmen who were about to give birth in midsummer, which was enough to confuse the public, so that the outside world could not confirm which baby was the real reincarnation of the great sage"

"However, what is surprising is that in the middle of summer, you and the other newborn babies were born one by one, until midsummer has passed, everything is calm, and more than a year has passed, and there is still no movement of the desolate spirit, and the clan guesses that perhaps the desolate soul is afraid of the edge of the whole clan for a while, and does not dare to come to make a mistake. However, before the awakening of the great sage, the time is still far away, and no matter how strict the defense is, it is difficult to ensure that there is a difference, for the sake of prudence, the great patriarch and the elders of the clan finally decided to secretly disperse all the babies of similar size in the clan and send them out of the clan, and hide in the vast sea of people outside the clan one by one, so that the desolate souls who are waiting for the opportunity cannot start, and later, it simply developed to send all the male clansmen of the same generation of the clan out, so as to avoid the tragedy of Luofeng Valley back then"

Hearing this, I suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but ask, "Since there were so many children born at that time, how do you think that I am the reincarnated?"

Dad looked at me, and then at Wu Zhen on the side, suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "This, when you return to the clan, you will naturally understand"

Wu Zhen seemed to sense that his father was deliberately hiding something, and said with a chuckle: "I know such a big secret, are you afraid that others will be known? If I am a spy of those desolate souls, and now I know the identity of Qianyang, even if I don't know anything else, it is enough to threaten his safety."

"I really don't know where you came from," Dad stared at Wu Zhen and said, "But you will never belong to the forces of the Desolate Spirit, and you have a great connection with your own clan"

Wu Zhen frowned, and said puzzledly, "How can you be so confident?"

"Because, I've seen that half of the rune on your back!"

After listening to my father's words, I suddenly realized, recalled the meeting with Wu Zhen in the park that day, and received the semicircular rune on her back, thinking that my father must have been hiding nearby at that time, and I saw it all.

Wu Zhen subconsciously grabbed his collar and whispered: "Since you know that I am my own person, why hide my words"

"I can't be sure if you are your own person, even if you are also a descendant of the Ignition Person, those small sects outside the moon may not all be good to the clan family, so regarding the matter of the upper echelons of the clan, only when Qianyang returns to the clan, the elders and the big patriarch of the clan have the right to decide whether they can explain everything. For you, I can tell you Qianyang's true identity, it is already forced to be an extraordinary period now, and I have to do it, and I ask the girl to forgive me, I believe that the girl will never put Daxian's safety at risk, and I will ask the girl to escort Qianyang back to the clan all the way, but whether you can enter the clan or not will depend on the opinions of the elders in the clan."

Wu Zhen said disdainfully: "If it weren't for Qianyang, who rarely approached your clan, but don't worry, I attach more importance to his safety than you."

Dad couldn't help but nod and said, "That's good, I'm very willing to believe your words."

"So what's next?" Wu Zhen asked.

Dad glanced at the second father and son who had been silent, and then said: "Qianyang's identity has been known by the Corpse King, so you must leave here immediately and return to the clan, Youshan will act as a guide and a guard, he will lead you back to the clan"

"Who is the Secluded Ridge?" I asked, blankly.

Dad looked at Dan Er, and the swarthy boy got out of bed, knelt down on one knee in front of me, leaned over and said, "Xiaozong Youshan, I've seen Lord Qianyang!"

"What's this—what's this?" I hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up, turning my head and bewildered, "They...... Are they all pointers?"

Dad shook his head with a smile and said: "Strictly speaking, they can't be counted as pointers, because only the big sects that inherit the "Constant Covenant" can be called pointers, they are all the side branches of the previous Dian clan, that is, the small sect we are talking about, in the past years, the small sect has always been at odds with the big clan, because most of their ancestors have had friction with the big clan because of the inheritance of the "Constant Covenant", and the big sect is also because they are orthodox "Constant Covenant" The inheritors disdain small clans, except for a very small number of small clans that intermarry, the rest of the small clans and major clans have always been at odds, and they are all caused by some narrow clan concepts.

"About twenty years ago, under the persecution of the desolate soul, the big and small sects had to put aside their prejudices, and some small sects gradually moved closer to the big ones, after the battle of the Phoenix Valley, the big sects also had to put down the orthodox shelf, gradually accept some small sects, and even invite them into the clan to resist the desolate spirits together, many young clansmen even formed deep friendships, I and Youyuan's father, King Daping of the Zhao family, is one of them"

Dad said, glanced at the middle-aged man, smiled at me and nodded, and I hurriedly returned the salute humbly.

Dad then looked at Dan Er and said, "He is the second son of King Daping, Zhao Youyu"

I looked at Dan Er in amazement, this guy who has always been a gangster in the school, everyone only calls him nicknamed Dan Er, most of them have never heard of his real name, I didn't expect him to be so proven.

"Back then, the baby boy of the clan was scattered and sent out of the clan, for the sake of secrecy, there can't be too much entourage, I and the King of Daping are responsible for escorting you, speaking of which, I am the only one left in the Eight Horses of the Moon to take over this important task, and the Zhao family is a powerful one in the small sect, and it is more secure to be accompanied by the King of Daping himself."

"Mom...... Are you still alive?" I heard my father say that he was the only one left to escort me, and my heart suddenly became heavy.

"Yes, when you go back to the clan, you'll see her," Dad said with a smile.

"Really?" I was a little skeptical, and said casually, "But didn't you just say that you are the only one left who can ...... the eight horses of the moon."

"That's because of other reasons, your mother can't take on this task, and I can only raise you as an adult, but you have to believe that your mother loves you, and no one will love you more than her, not only because you are her son, but also because ...... You are the only thought your father has left her, and I think she must have been looking forward to your return all these years."

Speaking of the unfamiliar title of mother, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and an inexplicable impulse made me a little unable to help crying, so I asked with some grievances: "What is the reason why she can't be with me?" Since I was a child, everyone else has a mother, and I have always thought that I don't have a mother, and I have always ...... Now I know, I have a mother, but why do you have to let me be separated from her?"

Facing my questioning, my father sighed deeply, was silent for a long time, and said, "There are some things that I ...... It's not particularly clear, and it's not easy to say, you better go back to the clan and find out for yourself, but believe uncle, your mother is the one who loves you the most, and there is no ...... than her."

"What uncle, you're my dad," I suddenly interrupted and shouted.

Dad was startled and looked embarrassed.

"Can you not be so cruel" I finally couldn't help it, tears flowed down my eyes, and I said loudly with great grievance: "Either let me think that I don't have a mother when I was a child, and now tell me that my mother is still there, but then say that I don't have a father, what do you want?

Speaking of this, I couldn't cry anymore, I couldn't say any more, my father was silent for a long time with red eyes, stepped forward and gently patted my shoulder, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, child, it's uncle...... It's my father's lack of ability, I can't let you be thoughtful, my father knows that you are sad, there are many things in life that you can't choose by yourself, I know, no matter how much I apologize, I can't get my second brother back......"

Dad suddenly choked up and couldn't go on, I hugged him and said loudly: "Dad, don't let me go by myself, you go with me, take me to my mother, we are all together as a family, don't let me go alone"

Dad gently patted my back, was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, regrouped his emotions, and held my shoulder and said: " Listen to me child, Dad's biggest responsibility is to ensure that you are thorough, so that you can grow up safely to the moment of awakening, believe me, Dad doesn't want to be separated from you for a moment, but this is not the best way to love you, the corpse king has slipped away, your identity has been exposed, it is imperative that you leave here immediately and return to the clan, and I and King Daping need to cover your whereabouts here, as early as when you were first sent out of the clan, the back road has been arranged, and there is a big clan person who is the same year as you, his special ability is disguise, he will stay here for you, buy time for your return”

"The same year?" I said, puzzled.

"You've already seen it, Ding Yanheng!" Dad reminded.
