Chapter 25: Elder Yan
The sleeping Jiao Qi was lying on the bed at the moment, his eyes were closed, his brows were frowning, and he kept muttering about Jiao Ba. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because the fifth old gentleman stopped him in time, all of them have regained consciousness after a short coma, but they have not woken up yet. This room was where the fifth old gentleman arranged for Yaoyao to live, because Jiao Bayi burned down the fifth old gentleman's residence, and Jiao Qi had to be taken here to rest. The fifth old gentleman and Mu Min were both in front of Jiao Qi's bed, and there was an old man who was also old standing aside.
Mu Min looked at Jiao Qi and asked the fifth old gentleman, "Is he the fire envoy appointed by Lord Yan personally?"
The fifth old gentleman nodded, "Not only that, but he is also the successor of the next patriarch of the Fire Clan chosen by King Yan. ”
"Looking at him like this, I'm afraid that fire spirit wasn't summoned by him, right?" It can be seen that even so, Mu Min still looks down on Jiao Qi a little.
The fifth old gentleman said: "This old man can't be sure, but I don't think it should be, that fire spirit should be left by Jiao Qi's side in order to protect him by King Yan." What was the specific situation at that time, you can describe the scene of Jiao Qi's final madness to me carefully. ”
Mu Min nodded yes, "At that time, we had already trapped the fire spirit, waiting for you, Mr. Five, to come and subdue it. Jiao Qi insisted on getting close to the runaway fire spirit, I thought he was the owner of the fire spirit, so I didn't stop it again, but the fire spirit suddenly burst out after he approached and threw him to the ground. In order to save Jiao Qi, I had no choice but to release an arrow to knock down the fire spirit. What I couldn't understand was that I obviously hit the fire spirit, but Jiao Qi also fell with it. What I couldn't understand even more was that Jiao Qi then stood up again, but his eyes were full of anger, just like the fire spirit just now, he was completely in a rage. Then you arrived, Mr. Five. ”
Hearing this, the fifth old gentleman fell into deep thought, and he turned his head to the other old man standing aside and said, "Old Yan, what do you think about this matter?"
The old Yan in the mouth of the fifth old gentleman was the elder of the [Yizong], and he was also puzzled at this moment: "According to the description of the young master of the wood clan, it is really possible that the owner of this fire spirit is Jiao Qi, otherwise if he shoots through the fire spirit, Jiao Qi should not have such a situation as resonance and backlash." If Jiao Qi was able to perform such a profound secret technique as [Fire Spirit] at such an age, it would be a peerless genius, and it would also be a good thing for the envoys. But if that's the case, then how can we explain the situation of this fire spirit going crazy for no reason? Why would the fire spirit lose control and even take the initiative to attack the spirit master himself when the spirit master is normal? I really don't understand. ”
The fifth old gentleman also shook his head, "This is also what I can't figure out." I still think that this fire spirit should have been left by King Yan. It seems that we will only find out what is going on until we find the whereabouts of the missing person. “
At this time, Mu Min suddenly knelt down in front of the fifth old gentleman.
The fifth old gentleman hurriedly helped Mu Min up, "The man has gold under his knees, not to mention that one day in the future you will become the patriarch of the Mu clan, you kneeling old man can't stand it, you stand up first, you say something slowly." “
Mu Min looked directly into the eyes of the fifth old gentleman: "I want to know what happened in the Seven Bird City?"
The fifth old gentleman didn't expect Mu Min to do this, "Didn't your mother say anything to you?" Then he figured it out, "No wonder she would do this, you are different from other children, you can be literate and martial, and you have already touched the threshold of the wooden envoy at a young age, I am like Jiao Qi when I am your age, and I don't know anything." There's a reason your mother doesn't want you to know these things. “
Mu Min immediately said: "Are you afraid that I will make a move like Mu Pu, I don't need Mr. Wu Lao you to tell me everything, I know that Mu Pu came to you before leaving, Mr. Wu Lao You must have said something to him, I just want to listen to what Mu Pu has heard again." ”
Since the Dark Star Fall, the fifth old gentleman had already known that he was under the surveillance of the Mu Clan and the Ming Palace at all times, but he still didn't expect it to reach such a point, but he still suppressed the shock in his heart and said to Mu Min, "How can you be sure that what I told Mu Pu is what you want to know." ”
"That guy Mokpo is not a fool, and if that guy can break into the Ming Temple at the risk of betrayal after listening to it, it must be the answer I want. ”
The fifth old gentleman sighed helplessly, "That's it, then I'll tell you what happened this month." “
"A month ago, the Hades Temple attacked the Seven Fowl City for the first time, so that the clan went to support and defended the Seven Fowl City, and then realized the Hades Temple's plan to control the empty ants, your grandfather Mu Clan Patriarch Sen took your father Lin Xin, aunt Lin Xia and our new Fire Clan Patriarch Yan Wang to stop it. The men then lost contact with each other and have not been heard from since.
Later, the scouts of the Wood Clan found traces of Sen and Yan's battle with the enemy in the desert south of Pingsha City, and at the same time found a space magic circle and three coffins that were suspected to be used to capture empty ants in the underworld. ”
Not only Mu Min, but even Elder Yan was equally surprised and asked, "Coffin?"
The fifth old gentleman said, "Yes. The coffin made of three golden silk ebony has a spell engraved with a seal on the lid of the coffin, the spell has failed, and the contents of the coffin have been transferred. ”
Elder Yan remembered something, and hurriedly said, "I have heard rumors about the Hades Temple being able to manipulate dead corpses for a long time, are those not rumors, are they true?"
Mr. Five: "At first, when I learned the news, I thought so, but after that, the scouts discovered another formation to catch empty ants in the deeper part of the desert, and in terms of time, it was even earlier than the previous one.
So I have another speculation about the coffin. Later, the teleportation array of the Divine Mountain failed, and the elites of the [Four Elephant Court] and the [Lost Moon Court] led by Yongzheng were all wiped out in the Divine Mountain, which finally confirmed that my speculation was correct.
From the very beginning, we could not win this war, and every step we took was under the control of the underworld. In fact, he had already prepared to attack the Seven Bird City from the beginning, he deliberately leaked the information that he was going to capture the empty ants to us, but secretly had already subdued the empty ants in advance, and then first feinted to attack the Seven Bird City, and then used a plan to transfer the patriarchs of the two clans, and finally captured the Seven Bird City in one fell swoop, his goal has always been very clear, the empty ants and the wood spirit beads are indispensable, because what he ultimately wants is to control the sacred mountain of the entire wood clan. And every step in this plan is crucial and dangerous. The Seven Birds City is full of elites, and breaking into the sacred mountain is like throwing yourself into a net. If this plan is to be realized perfectly, it is simply impossible for them to achieve it by relying on the Hades Temple alone. ”
Mu Min knew what the fifth old gentleman meant, and said in a low voice, "Is this why my uncle is wanted?"
The fifth old gentleman said: "The final capture of the Seven Birds City by the Hades Temple was succeeded with the help of your uncle Lin Tong, who single-handedly paralyzed the defense system in the only four remaining towers of the Seven Fowl City, causing the second wave of attacks of the Hades Temple to drive straight in. According to the testimony of the survivors, the city lord Lin Qiyu was also captured and taken away by him. “
Mu Min asked reluctantly, "What is the other guess about the coffin?"
"These coffins may have been used to seal the people who came to stop the Void Ants. The fifth old gentleman's speech suddenly slowed down.
"Then how can there be only three?" Mu Min thought of something in the middle of his words, his eyes full of disbelief.
The fifth old gentleman looked at Mu Min, who was stunned, and didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to tell him this, and then said: "Mingdian claims to have evidence of Lord Sen's rebellion. I've never told Mokpo about this, and Mokpo must have heard the news somewhere, so he wanted to rush into the temple of the Ming Hall to see what was going on. ”
Mu Min had always thought that he had grown into a fearless appearance, and when he opened his mouth to the fifth old man, he was also prepared for everything, and now that he had the answer he wanted, there was a trace of fear in his heart, and this fear was still expanding in his heart.
"I want to go out and take a breath. After Mu Min finished speaking, without waiting for the fifth old gentleman's answer, he walked out of the room alone and dejected.
Elder Yan looked at Mu Min and walked out, then looked at Jiao Qi, who was still lying on the bed, and asked the fifth old man, "What are you going to do next for this child?"
The fifth old gentleman said: "What else can I do, no matter what, this kid is the only seedling left in my clan, and I want to keep him by my side." The two families of the Yizong Fire Clan have been reproducing and inheriting together for thousands of years, and the ancestors have gone through vicissitudes, rising and falling, and even faced countless crises of extinction, but in the end they all survived. Now that I'm here, I will never allow it to be destroyed in my hands, not as long as I'm alive!
Elder Yan nodded, "Yes, I understand, as long as you live, there is still hope for everything." Yizong was favored by the ancestors of the Fire Clan, so that he could survive in the world forever, and the clan was connected by blood, sharing honor and disgrace. Although the Fire Clan is now guilty of sin, as long as it waits until the day when it rises again, it can wash away the current humiliation, which is also what we [Yizong] are looking forward to. ”
