Chapter 4: The Dusty Past
On a row of willow trees behind the courtyard, Wang Lin was leaning on the branch of the tree and closing his eyes to recuperate, and whispered to Jia Ren, who was squatting next to him and monitoring the movements of the courtyard: "The second son of the bullshit, the god of the shit, Shi Lao, didn't say that Long Yan's mongrel would definitely move at night, but there was no bullshit, so Lao Tzu stayed up all night in vain, shouldn't we have shot too hard yesterday, that kid is really wasted?"
Jia Ren comforted without looking back: "It's impossible, that kid seems to have healed his injuries last night, and he is still cultivating, and he is also more evil." Don't worry, the fifth brother will be in a hurry, there is still an hour before the sky is bright, according to the estimation of the eldest brother and the second brother, if Jiang Sheng does not appear at night, Long Yan will definitely go to Jiang Sheng's old immortal joint during the day today, as long as we keep an eye on him, we can find Jiang Sheng by touching the melon, which is a great achievement. ”
As soon as the words fell, a loud "bang" sound was heard, Jia Ren hurriedly looked back, Wang Lin behind him was gone, and when he lowered his head again, he found that Wang Lin had fallen under the tree, his head arched to the ground, and his ass was motionless.
Jia Ren couldn't help but forcibly suppressed his voice and smiled: "Why are you so careless, look at your dog eating shit, if this is ......" The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, and he found that Wang Lin had a strange bird on his buttocks, and he was jumping around excitedly.
Just when the smile on Jia Ren's face had just solidified and was about to give a warning, he suddenly flew out without warning, just flew out of the canopy, and fell straight to the ground as if he had hit a stone slab, and just fell to Wang Lin's side.
Subsequently, Jia Ren was horrified to find that more than a dozen of his subordinates who were hiding in the willow trees flew out one by one and fell beside him into a tower, motionless. And in the canopy where he and Wang Lin stayed before, Long Yan's figure appeared, looking at them with a smile.
As soon as the strange bird that jumped in circles on Wang Lin's buttocks saw Long Yan appear, it immediately flew up in the air with a roar of joy, circled around the people lying on the ground several times, and after pulling a bubble of shit on Jia Ren's face, it landed on Long Yan's shoulder.
Jia Ren wanted to wipe the bird feces off his face, but once again he was horrified to find that his whole body was stiff and he couldn't even move his fingers. I think the same is true for Wang Lin and those subordinates, otherwise they would not have kept the posture of falling and remained motionless.
When I wanted to try hard again, Long Yan's lazy voice came from my ears: "Two young people, don't bother, hit my Tyrannosaurus hammer, don't think about moving a single inch in an hour." Please give a message to the big and small Hou Ye, my grandfather is on his way to the North Underworld, and when the **** arrives, he will visit the Hou Ye, they have been good brothers for many years, and they will definitely be close to each other. ”
"As for me, I have been practicing in this academy for the past month, preparing to take the exam of the Dragon Teng Academy, and I also ask you two to persuade the little marquis, don't come and take care of me if you have nothing to do, otherwise I can promise not to kill you, but I don't guarantee that your mother will recognize you." With that, Long Yan jumped off the tree, blessed his body with light spirit magic, and ran towards the east gate of the city like flying, and disappeared in an instant.
After leaving the east gate of the city, Long Yan accelerated towards the direction of the lonely mountain in the east of the city, the strange bird was no longer on his shoulder at this time, and he didn't know where it flew. Two hours later, Long Yan had gone deep into the depths of the lonely mountain and sat down on the top of a small mountain, his heart full of joy.
"Kailing Sutra" is really not ordinary, but it has given him the special ability of Panlong Nine Transformations and Haoyang Seven Uniques, Panlong Nine Transformations are now supported by Yuan Li, and they have been able to completely disappear into the void, although there is a time limit and they cannot use attack skills for the time being, but as his cultivation deepens, these restrictions should be gradually lifted.
Haoyang Qijue's special ability is very terrifying, in the "Tyrannosaurus Hammer" just used, the punch that burst out actually has the power of sealing, directly sealing the meridians of the whole body of the dozen or so people. Although the cultivation of those dozen or so people is not high, if they are evenly matched, even if there is only a pause for a moment, it is enough to decide the outcome of the battle.
And the spiritual secret technique attached to the scripture is even more powerful, in terms of exploration techniques, whether it is a warrior or a monk, in the basic realm, the spiritual sense can only cover a range of dozens of miles at most, and Long Yan's spiritual sense has been able to reach an incredible amount of more than 100 miles, comparable to the warriors and priests of the lower three realms.
"It's really exciting. Long Yan couldn't help but muttered to himself. Suddenly, a red light flashed through the air, and the strange bird flickered and stopped on Long Yan's shoulder, its wings spread and cooed. Seeing this, Long Yan chuckled and said, "Chi'er, are you saying that someone has already discovered that I am coming to Gushan and reported to the Hou Mansion, and now no one is following behind?"
Chi'er little bird's head tapped a few times, indicating that it was correct. Long Yan ignored it, closed his eyes, released his spiritual sense, and used the exploration technique to probe the movement within a radius of a hundred miles. Na Chi'er stood on Long Yan's shoulder, stretched his wings lightly, and slowly combed the feathers on his body.
This strange bird was hatched by an egg given by his grandfather Jiang Sheng on Long Yan's fifth birthday. The bird egg was accidentally obtained by Jiang Sheng during a trip, he thought it was a fossil and gave it to Long Yan just for fun, but he didn't want to be hatched by him somehow.
With Jiang Sheng's extensive knowledge and knowledge, he didn't know what the origin of this bird was, and the only thing he could confirm was that its evolutionary potential was huge, because Jiang Sheng faintly felt a mysterious and powerful fluctuation from its bloodline. This bird also showed extraordinary abilities at a young age, not only full of spirituality, but also extremely fast, and the relationship with Long Yan was even closer, and it became his little helper.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Long Yan opened his eyes, and the results of the investigation were just like Chi'er showed, there was no trace of anyone within a hundred miles. He turned his head and smiled at Chi'er and said, "Let's go, let's go see grandpa." After that, he disappeared into the void and ran towards the Mang Mountain in the north of the city.
Not long after Long Yan entered the depths of Mangshan in the north of the city, Jiang Chen and Jiang Yi appeared on the north gate tower. Jiang Yi asked Jiang Chen, who was looking at Mangshan silently, "Dad, how sure are we this time?"
Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and said flatly: "There should be more than eighty percent, this Jiang Sheng is estimated to be injured, God really helps me." It seems that he is healing in a secret place in the depths of this Mang Mountain, and Long Yan's kid must be going to ask for the next plan of action, this kid is smart and tight, and he plays a trick to delay time, but he doesn't know that we also need time to set up a perfect game. ”
Then, Jiang Chen turned around and said to a black-armored attendant behind him: "Order Jiang Shang, the leader of the Red Fire Battalion, to send scouts in the direction of Gushan in the east of the city to closely explore that area, the bigger the movement, the better, and at the same time, the main force of the Red Fire Camp will move outside the east gate to stand by." In addition, select competent people, enter Mangshan in disguise, find Jiang Sheng's hiding place and closely monitor it, and be careful not to startle the snake. ”
"Dad, what are you?" Jiang Yi asked with a puzzled look on his face. Jiang Chen patted his son's shoulder and smiled: " This is called a plan, since that kid has diverted our attention to the east, then we will pretend to be in the plan, so that if we can take advantage of their unpreparedness to find the injured Jiang Sheng in Mangshan, we can borrow the hands of the Shura people to destroy it, if you can't find it, at least you can monitor their movements, and when he comes to the city after he is injured, we can know for the first time, at that time, the master of the Shura tribe should also arrive, you think about it, he and the Shura people appeared in the North Underworld City at the same time, in the end, he was taken, but the Shura people ran away, can he still wash away the charge of traffic aliensDon't say it's the Northern Spirit King at that time, I'm afraid the Dragon Emperor won't be able to protect him. ”
Jiang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Gao, it's really smart, Dad is amazing." When Jiang Sheng was taken, Long Yan's kid couldn't be easily executed, he not only healed his injuries last night, but his strength suddenly increased significantly, with Jia Ren and Wang Lin, the two fifth-order priests of the basic realm, they were all defeated effortlessly, especially the mysterious stealth ability, which is even more wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that Dad's cultivation is two realms higher than that kid, he really can't see through his figure, it seems that he must have gained some great opportunity on the Zini battlefield, and I have to get this opportunity. ”
"No problem, leave it to the Shura people, they have a very domineering soul search technique, and any secret can be obtained. When the time comes, we will say that his fate is from the Shura clan, and it will be more clear and straightforward to get rid of him, without any worries. That's the happy ending. Jiang Chen said with a smug face.
After a pause, he instructed Jiang Yi again: "Within this month, you will not appear in front of Long Yan for the time being, seize the time to cultivate well, first, strive to be admitted to Longteng Academy with the best results, and secondly, if Jiang Sheng does not appear during this time, you will find a chance to kill Long Yan in the exam, and provoke Jiang Sheng to come out for revenge." In any case, the critical moment of the end of the Heaven Worship Ceremony and the start of the Dragon Teng Academy exam is the time when we finally close the net. ”
In an unusually hidden valley deep in the Mang Mountains, there is a small bamboo forest, and the paths in the forest are intricate, and the clouds are wrapped in mist. Long Yan was standing outside the bamboo forest at this time, crushing a white jade talisman in his hand. After a while, I saw a small crack in the middle of the bamboo forest, and I could faintly see the winding path inside, and the washer towering.
Long Yan quietly walked into the gap, after he entered, the gap disappeared without a trace, from the outside, it was still a bamboo forest path, and there was no half a figure in sight.
At the end of the winding path along the bamboo forest, Long Yan stopped in front of a green tile house, hugged his fists and said respectfully: "Grandpa Kuzhu, see you Yan'er." As soon as the words fell, a slightly excited voice came from inside: "It's Yan'er, don't be polite, come in, I was thinking that you should come too." ”
After Long Yan bowed, he pushed the door in. But seeing that the room was elegant and clean, all of them were made of bamboo, and behind the main hall bookcase, an old man with white eyebrows and white beard was looking at him with a smile and was silent. Seeing that Long Yan was still going to salute, he hurriedly stood up, grabbed it and walked to the inner hall, saying as he walked: "Come on, come on, let's go see your grandfather first." ”
In the inner hall, Jiang Sheng was lying on the bamboo couch with a pale face, and his breath was weak. Long Yan on the side of the couch asked quietly, "How is my grandfather?"
Kuzhu sighed and said: "My life is saved, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up in a short time, this time I hurt the origin, even if I wake up in the future, whether the cultivation can be saved is still between the two." ”
Long Yan gritted his teeth when he heard this: "Grandpa Kuzhu, our plan has begun to be implemented, I will not let go of the group of bastards in the Northern Hades Mansion, and the Shura clan will also pay the price for this." ”
"Yan'er, our plan shouldn't be a big problem, don't worry too much. I want to say another thing, now that you have grown up, there are some things that need to be known to you, as the so-called knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, which will be of great help to you in carrying out your revenge plan. Kuzhu looked at Long Yan's eyes that were almost breathing fire, took his hand, and said softly as he walked towards the Washe.
Came to sit next to the bamboo table in the outer courtyard of the Washe, and after a little contemplation, the bitter bamboo talked about it.
It turned out that Kuzhu's real name was Jiang Xian, and Jiang Chen and Jiang Shengben were three brothers of their uncles, and their fathers fell in the war with the Shura clan.
Jiang Sheng has a talent for governing the world, became the city lord of the North Underworld, and is considered to be the successor of the old marquis, and the first choice for the next Marquis of the North Underworld. Jiang Chen governed the army well, and the old marquis handed over the Red Fire Battalion, a military force under the command of the Marquis of the Northern Underworld, to his commander. And Jiang Xian is good at strategy, and has always been by the old marquis's side to counsel the cardinal.
Among these three people, Jiang Sheng is generous and informal, Jiang Xian is smart and heroic, bright and upright, but Jiang Chen is kind on the surface, and he is very scheming inside. Therefore, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Xian are relatively close, but Jiang Chen has always been close to them.
Twenty years ago, the old marquis fell in the battle with the Shura clan, and it was too late to designate an heir, according to the rules of the Dragon Pavilion, the Longteng Academy selected representatives to compete with the most powerful people in the jurisdiction, and the final winner became the next Marquis of the Northern Underworld.
Surprisingly, Jiang Sheng, who had the highest voice, took the initiative to give up, Jiang Xian, who was good friends with Jiang Sheng, disappeared, and Jiang Chen, who was the least favored, finally defeated the representative of Longteng Academy and became the current Marquis of the Northern Underworld.
In the first few years after Jiang Chen took over, it was calm as usual, and the region to which the Northern Marquis belonged was still according to the rules of the old marquis when he was alive, and there was no change. Five years later, Jiang Chen began to show his fangs and cleaned up the old Hou Ye's old departments one by one, and all his cronies except Jiang Sheng were either wiped out or excluded from the Hou Mansion's power system.
At this time, the missing Jiang Xian secretly returned to the North Underworld City, and secretly found the disheartened Jiang Sheng to inquire in detail about the whole incident, combined with what Jiang Chen had done in the past five years, as well as the secret investigation information of some suppressed subordinates loyal to the old marquis, Jiang Xian was shocked to speculate that all this was actually a huge conspiracy planned by Jiang Chen.
First of all, Jiang Chen betrayed the intelligence of the old marquis to the Shura clan, and used the relationship to install the master of the Shura clan around the old marquis, causing the old marquis to fall with hatred without defense. After that, in the name of the old marquis, he issued an order that the front line was tight and needed reinforcements, and Jiang Xian was transferred to lead the army into the war. Kang Hyun was attacked by the Shura army on the way, and after nine deaths, he fled to the Jedi and was believed to have died in it.
Next, Jiang Chen bribed a group of outlaws, and took advantage of Jiang Sheng's opportunity to go out to welcome the return of the old marquis's coffin, and secretly kidnapped Jiang Sheng's family of more than 40 people, young and old, and released the news that as long as Jiang Sheng gave up the succession of the Northern Marquis, his family could be released. Jiang Sheng was furious, and naturally thought that this was Jiang Chen's ghost, so he went to him to theorize. In order to show that this matter had nothing to do with him, Jiang Chen pretended to mobilize all his forces to help Jiang Sheng find the whereabouts of these people.
A few days later, he told Jiang Sheng the hiding place that he had known for a long time, and did his best to assist Jiang Sheng in attacking this group of outlaws.
Jiang Chen then staged a well-prepared drama to make Xian, took out the forged will passed on to him by the old marquis, and asked Jiang Sheng to take over as the Marquis of the Northern Underworld on the grounds of serious injury and death. At this time, Jiang Sheng was completely confused by Jiang Chen's series of actions, not only did he lose his suspicions, but he was grateful to Jiang Chen, and the death of the whole family for this incident also made him disheartened, so he naturally refused to accept it.
After Jiang Chen recovered from his injury, he ascended to the throne of the Marquis of the Northern Underworld as he wished, and Jiang Sheng also continued to serve as the lord of the Northern Underworld under his strong persuasion. If it weren't for Jiang Xian's unexpected return from trouble, Jiang Sheng would have been kept in the dark.
