Chapter 4: Night Talk
Seeing the growing doubt on Lin Yuan's face, the black-robed young man coughed a few times in a slightly hoarse voice, and said to Lin Yuan: "According to the rules, these things should not be told to you, but you are my little junior brother, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you, but you must remember that try not to talk about these things in front of the master."
"I'm ashamed to say that after chatting with you for so long, I didn't even tell you my name, and Shizun accepted a total of three personal disciples, senior brother Bai Ming, second senior brother Liu Jian, and as for me, Shizun's third disciple, Zhao Xingji. β
"I was accepted as a disciple by Shizun at the age of twelve, Shizun took a fancy to my talent in medicine and Taoism, and brought me here from the academy, at that time Shizun accepted the senior brother and the second senior brother for a long time, among which the strength of the senior brother is the strongest, and it is close to the cultivation of the first calamity, and the second senior brother has also reached the three realms of refining gods, and I was only a small monk in the Ning Dan realm at the time, so they both took special care of my senior brother and his temperament was very gentle, so he raised a lot of flowers and plants in the yard, and then probably felt that only the flowers and plants were too lonely, and he went to the nearby street to pick up a few cats and raised them, you don't look at these cats look fat and lazy, in fact, they are very humanAfter the death of the senior brother, they refused to eat the food that the second senior brother and I fed, and would rather go out and steal some dried fish and other things than deal with us anymore, they probably thought that the second senior brother and I took the senior brother out, but did not bring it back, so express their resentment in this way. Zhao Xingji narrated slowly, raising his head from time to time, thinking about the past.
"Cultivation close to the first tribulation?" Lin Yuan's face flashed with consternation, the weight of the three words of the first tribulation is best known to him, the old man is extremely talented, and his cultivation for hundreds of years is only the peak of the second tribulation, his mysterious senior brother cultivation can actually approach the first tribulation, could it be that the senior brother is also an old monster who has been cultivating for hundreds of years?
As if seeing the doubts in Lin Yuan's heart, Zhao Xingji shook his head and said, "Senior brother first woke up at the age of five, Ning Dan at the age of seven, the peak of the Broken Pill at the age of eleven, the Void God Realm at the age of thirteen, the Three Realms of God Refining at the age of sixteen, the peak of the Three Realms of God Refining at the age of twenty-five, and the first tribulation at the age of thirty-two. β
"Even with Lin Yuan's calm temperament, he was still shocked by Zhao Xingji's words, he survived the first tribulation at the age of thirty-two, is this still a human being? Even in the days when the remnants were at their peak in ancient times, this kind of demon was extremely rare among the remnants, not to mention the current period of spiritual exhaustion of heaven and earth.
"You also know that now within the human race, the ten major forces control more than ninety percent of the cultivation resources of the human race, and those guys are used to squandering resources, which leads to the inability of the human race's talents, and the war with the beast race has also been defeated, and the Qi country, which was originally the worst in China among the four major empires of the human race, was wiped out by the beast army! However, when the four empires became the three major empires, the group of high-level leaders of the ten major forces still did not wake up, perhaps in their eyes, as long as there is Lord Tianzun to support them, even if the human race is all destroyed, the ten major forces can still stand, but unfortunately, on that day seven years ago, several Tianzun of the beast clan joined forces to sneak attack the ten major forces of the human race, and took advantage of their failure to react, and after killing the two Tianzun adults, they walked away and gave the group of guys a resounding slap. β
Hearing this, Lin Yuan's face showed a subtle sneer, he didn't answer, but quietly listened to Zhao Xingji's narration.
"After the fall of the two Tianzun adults, the high-level of the ten major forces were shocked, those beast barbarians who were regarded by them as barbarians actually dared to violate the covenant signed by the two clans, they didn't think about this kind of thing at all, after all, the demon clan had been low-key for tens of thousands of years before, and the high-level of the ten major forces had long been accustomed to the worship of the demon clan, so when the demon clan defected, the ten major forces failed to react at the first time, but instead fought for the inheritance left by the two Tianzun lords, but fortunately, the fairy world sent messengers in time to stabilize the situation, so that the situation did not deteriorate furtherγ β
Immortal Realm Messenger?!Lin Yuan's eyes shrank sharply after hearing these four words, and he almost lost his voice and shouted out, but he had been extremely controllable since he was a child, so he didn't show any abnormal color.
Zhao Xingji focused most of his attention on reminiscing about the past at this time, but he didn't notice Lin Yuan's abnormality, he continued to narrate: " After the appearance of the immortal envoy, the ten major forces that originally showed signs of division immediately returned to normal, and under the leadership of the immortal envoy, ten armies were formed to launch a counterattack against the demon clan, due to the lack of troops, the immortal envoy began to draw strong people from the subordinate institutions of the ten major forces to join the army, Bailu Academy, as the head of the nine major academies, naturally could not be an exception, and the senior brother took the second senior brother, me, and hundreds of inner courtyard disciples to participate in this battle.
Zhao Xingji sighed, listened to the cat barking outside the house, and sighed: "When Senior Brother just left, there were only five or six cats in that group, but now in the hundreds of houses in the East Courtyard, each room can pull out more than ten fat cats. β
"Then the life of the rats here must be miserable. In order to ease the heavy atmosphere, Lin Yuan took over the conversation.
"That's right, since the senior brother left, there has never been a rat plague in the entire White Deer Academy, and the old guys in the Library Pavilion have come to thank them for this. As if remembering the miserable situation of the rats in the courtyard, the corners of Zhao Xingji's mouth, which was originally a little low, rose slightly, and his mood improved.
Lin Yuan blinked, and asked with a little confusion: "Having said that, according to what you said, Senior Brother should have already passed the first tribulation at the beginning of the war, and that kind of cultivation should also belong to the category of the strong on the battlefield, so it shouldn't fall easily." β
"That's what I said, but in the end, the senior brother still couldn't come back, the senior brother was killed by a beast Tianzun, although the second senior brother and I have strong confidence in the senior brother, but after all, it was Tianzun who shot at him, and he was also the second-ranked "Huangyu Tianzun" in the beast clan, facing this Tianzun, let alone the senior brother, even the master was not sure to escape. Looking at Zhao Xingji, whose mood was low again, Lin Yuan was silent, he was not good at comforting others, so he just stared out the window silently, and he didn't know what to say.
"Remember not to mention Senior Brother in front of the Master, otherwise," Zhao Xingji pointed to the courtyard and said, "The body of the last unlucky ghost is still buried in the courtyard." β
"That battle was originally just a small local battle, but who would have thought that the demon clan actually sent a divine beast at the peak of the first calamity - the immortal bird to join the battle, the divine beast was originally a thing that could fight against the sky beyond the ranks, so the original evenly matched battle suddenly became one-sided, the flame of the immortal bird is the first-class flame in the world, and the fire of the phoenix is the same name, that battle is completely a demon clan's slaughter of human beings, under the burning of the immortal bird flame, the elite disciples in the academy suffered extremely heavy casualties, In a fit of rage, the elder brother slashed the immortal bird on the spotβthough we still don't know exactly how he managed to slay a Divine Beast at the peak of the First Tribulation. Zhao Xingji's tone was filled with a hint of emotion: "So, Senior Brother is really strong, so powerful that it is outrageous After that battle, the high-level of the Demon Clan was furious, and Huangyu Tianzun personally took action and killed Senior Brother- However, there are also rumors that Huangyu Tianzun just defeated the senior brother, and then brought the senior brother back to the territory of the demon clan, these things have not been verified, when Huangyu Tianzun made a move, the aftermath of the battle almost wiped out all the onlookers present, so no one can say what happened at that time, but most people think that the senior brother has fallen, after all, the immortal bird killed by the senior brother is the only descendant of Huangyu Tianzun, and Huangyu Tianzun has absolutely no reason to spare the life of the senior brother. β
Zhao Xingji sighed, looking at Lin Yuan's eyes a little strange: "Since the death of the senior brother, the master has never accepted an apprentice, even the main hall of the Qin State came down to the master and knelt in front of the master for three days and three nights, and the master didn't pay attention to it, I really don't know what background you have, so that the master can accept you as a closed disciple." β
Lin Yuan smiled: "Senior brother~ You treat me as a relation, don't worry, with the thickness of my face, even if there is more disdain in your eyes, I won't mind." β
"You kid" Zhao Xingji couldn't help laughing: "If I'm not mistaken, you kid is also a person with a story, a normal person should have completed the first awakening at the age of twelve, and there are only three possibilities for someone like you who has not completed the initial awakening, one is the "Absolute Pulse Physique", and second, you should have completed the initial awakening, but for some reason the realm has fallen, resulting in not even reaching the cultivation of the initial awakening realm. Thirdly, you are an idiot, and you are not naturally suitable for cultivation. However, the teacher will not accept an idiot, and the Pulseless Physique has not appeared for many years, so you should have been injured and fell into the realm. β
Lin Yuan was stunned by Zhao Xing's extremely accurate guess, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke, and said, "If you go to tell fortunes, senior brother, then those fortune-telling old men will definitely starve to death on the streets." β
"Go ahead, master, I just have a lot of research on the medical Tao, so I can guess it, just when did you first wake up? What kind of cultivation did you do before falling into the realm?" Zhao Xingji said curiously.
"Well, I didn't remember when I first woke up, I was probably two or three years old, I was too young to be sure that I was probably at the peak of the Ning Dan Realm before I fell into the realm, but at that time, the matter was urgent, and I was injured and fell into the realm before I succeeded in entering the Broken Dan Realm. Although Lin Yuan didn't want to recall the sad memory before he was five years old, but since the senior brother asked, it didn't hurt to talk about it, based on his own feelings, his senior brother didn't have any ill will towards him, at most he was a little resentful.
Zhao Xing looked at Lin Yuan with great disdain, and said disdainfully: "Relying on the first awakening at the age of three, you are a remnant of you?" β
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, I am the descendant of the Remnant Clan, how can you mortals compare to me?
"Get out of you, you can just talk nonsense, master, I'll sleep first!" Zhao Xingji was obviously disgusted by Lin Yuan's words, and pulled the quilt over to cover his head depressedly, no longer paying attention to Lin Yuan, who was smiling very poorly next to him, and fell asleep by himself.
Lin Yuan turned around very hurtly, and thought aggrievedly--why didn't I believe it when I finally told the truth once? Could it be that my eyes were not sincere enough?
