0045: Luan Qingfeng
Could it be that this is an imperial weapon? It is completely different from Li Dong's imagination, even if it is to cover people's ears and eyes, there is no need to make it really shabby, only a piece of animal skin to cover the pile of imperial weapons.
Li Dong jumped in front of the pile of things, stretched out his hand to uncover the animal skin, and at this moment, he was frightened. It turned out that it was not a Horcrux at all, and a half-human, half-ghost monster emerged from under the skin. His hair, which was several feet long, and the chains on his feet hung from his shoulder bones made him look like a human. The sharp hooks and chains are still white and exposed, and the face is also as if it has been eaten by rats and insects, with seven holes and eight pits.
His eyes were closed, and his beard was slightly undulating under his snort, and it was inferred that it was supposed to be a living person.
It is a miracle in itself that a person can survive such torture, Li Dong looked at the half-dead man in front of him in disbelief.
Suddenly, he moved, and the ground rattled with chains, and he raised his seven-pit face slightly, and smiled dismally. The pair of heavy eyelids suddenly opened, and two refreshing eyes penetrated Li Dong's heart.
"I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, there would still be living people who would see me."
His words were weak but exuded a momentum that made Li Dong tremble.
"You! have you been here for hundreds of years?" Li Dong couldn't believe that there were still people who could live in this barren land for a hundred years, and still be tortured like this.
"A hundred years, a thousand years and I are just a day".
"Why have the predecessors been locked here for hundreds of years, have you offended someone in Luan Mansion?" Li Dong had a keen feeling that this person must have had some kind of relationship with the ancestors of Luan Mansion before he was tortured like this.
"I, Luan Mansion, hehehehe" He let out a strange laugh, that expression made Li Dong even more curious, there must be an amazing secret of Luan Mansion hidden in him.
"Young man, why did you come here? This is a forbidden place for the Arsenal, and even the owners of the Arsenal Factory in the past cannot easily come here."
"Ahh
"Aren't you a refiner?" His face changed slightly, and he stared at Li Dong with a sharp look in his eyes, and from these eyes, Li Dong felt a murderous aura.
"No, although I am not a refiner, but I am the young proprietor of Luan Mansion" Li Dong slightly felt that this person did not seem to be hostile to Luan Mansion, so he took the initiative to reveal his identity to him to avoid misunderstanding.
"You, you are the first generation, and you can't count the coughs, maybe this is providence."
"The seniors are also from Luanfu?".
"Hey, hey!" He smiled, shook his head again, and said, "I don't know if I'm a person from Luan Mansion."
Li Dong could conclude from his expression that he must be an ancestor of Luan Mansion, but it seemed that there was something hidden in it that made it so difficult for him to admit his identity.
"Would you like to hear a story from me, a wretch, young man?"
"The teachings of the seniors, the younger generations listen to them".
With the confusion in his heart, Li Dong sat cross-legged in front of him, listening to him slowly recall a major event that happened in Luan Mansion hundreds of years ago that almost turned the entire Luan Mansion upside down.
"Five hundred years ago, Luanfu was even more brilliant than now, every Horcrux from Luanfu was in short supply, and countless soul cultivators did not hesitate to worship themselves under Luanfu in order to obtain a Luanfu Horcrux, and at that time, as the head of the Luanfu Refinery, Luan Qingfeng recruited hundreds of foreign disciples in one go, and the scale of the refinery was growing at that time, which made him proud of it for a long time."
Speaking of this, his expression was slightly tinged with a hint of sweet memory, as if it was the best experience in his life, Li Dong naturally knew from the beginning that he was the master of the refining family at that time, Luan Qingfeng. It's just that Li Dong doesn't have the impression of such an ancestor in his memory.
And he added: " Luan Qingfeng was very happy and greedy, regardless of the opposition of other family owners, and found a few disciples from these people to run the refinery together, hoping to create a prosperous era of Luanfu's weapons, but some of these disciples harbored evil intentions, they used their power to provoke the grievances between Luan Qingfeng and the deputy head of the family at that time, and gradually evolved into a confrontation between the two disciples of soul refining and forging, who is the core of Luanfu's weapons manufacturing in soul refining and forging, and has also become an irreconcilable dispute in the entire ordnance factory, and the deputy head of the family also took his disciples to start the soul refining technique, the two skills were refined alone, and the water and fire did not melt, and finally the Horcrux manufacturing skills of Luan Mansion declined in an instant, and the scenery of Luan Mansion was almost no more."
Li Dong then understood that the dispute between the forging and soul refining factions of Luan Mansion originated here, and in his memory, Luan Mansion did decline into a second-rate refining factory three hundred years ago, and later the new generation of family owners persuaded the two major factions to forge and refine souls with their personal charm to merge the Horcrux forging and soul refining in the final completion of the weapon, and also made the Luan Mansion Horcrux, which had disappeared for decades, reappear again, and the military business of Luan Mansion became more and more prosperous.
He sighed and said, "This is not the worst thing, the next disaster even Luan Qingfeng did not expect, and the entire Luan Mansion's Horcrux manufacturing technology was lost in his hands."
"Senior, what happened then?" Li Dong didn't know anything about this, he had the impression that this incident happened in Luan Mansion three hundred years ago.
"Luan Qingfeng also learned later that the factional dispute between him and the deputy head of the family was deliberately provoked, and on the night when he was studying the quenching secrets in the forging room, a person sneaked into his residence, he mixed sandalwood with scattered medicine in advance to make my cultivation lost, and then rushed into the inner room to snatch my Luan Mansion quenching secrets, and when he left, he finally explained how he used the opportunity of Luan Qingfeng to recruit disciples to mix into the arsenal and how he provoked the dispute between the two factions."
"It's me, it's me who hurt Luan Mansion" Luan Qingfeng knelt on his knees, in pain.
"Senior, I can't blame you for this, you are also a victim" Li Dong saw that he was so sad, so he tried to persuade him.
He shook his head and said, "It seems that you already know that I am Luan Qingfeng, but my sins cannot be forgiven, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of Luan Mansion."
It seems that he still has an unspeakable meaning, and Li Dong doesn't know what would make a dignified head of the family look like this! That must be a very thrilling thing.
