Chapter 24 Fifty years of vicissitudes
Noisy!
Zhao Sheng's clothes suddenly had no wind and automatic, and the powerful momentum of the innate extreme martial artist suddenly exploded, instantly "flooding" the entire reception hall like a stormy sea.
At this moment, the air seemed to become frozen.
The Blood Knife Ancestor, who bore the brunt of the attack, had his eyes bulging outward, only to feel that his eyes were full of blood, and there was even more infinite killing intent coming towards him.
For a moment, he felt his hands and feet cold and stiff, a chill oozing from his neck, and he seemed to smell blood.
In the next moment, Chang Meng suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and his vision suddenly rose a lot, but he quickly fell, and finally there was a headless corpse in his sight, wearing a big red robe.
"It looks familiar, who is it? It seems to be—"
In the next moment, he suddenly fell into boundless darkness, but when only the last trace of consciousness remained, Chang Meng suddenly remembered, "...... It seems to be... Me!
However, in the eyes of everyone, they only saw that as soon as the word noise came out, the head of the Blood Knife Ancestor suddenly fell from his neck without warning.
However, some people also saw the whole process of Zhao Sheng's move.
This person is the old Taoist priest on the Chang Meng side.
He saw with his own eyes a fast and incredible blue light flying out of the cuffs hanging down from the old man with the broken arm, instantly slashing through the neck of the Blood Knife Ancestor, as if a knife was cutting a watermelon.
In addition, he didn't sense a trace of aura fluctuations.
However, this makes it even more terrifying!
"Senior, spare your life!" The old Taoist priest suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Sheng again and again to beg for mercy.
The elder of the Zhao family was greatly surprised when he saw that the Blood Knife Ancestor had been solved so easily, and his eyes looking at Zhao Sheng were full of awe and closeness.
At this time, Zhao Sheng quickly calmed down from his anger.
His face was calm, as if he had just done something worthless.
In fact, it really doesn't really mean much.
Over the years, Zhao Sheng has killed more than two dozen Qi refining and immortal cultivators, so why should a mere innate grandmaster be concerned.
Zhao Sheng ignored the old Taoist priest and looked at Zhao Zhijing.
Zhao Zhijing coughed and said to the old Taoist: "Explain things clearly, you can live." If you hide something, the old man will make your life worse than death! ”
The old Taoist priest was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately shook out all the causes and consequences.
It turned out that three months ago, Liang Guo's Black Ice Platform suddenly sent a secret bounty mission. The task is to invite Zhao Yujie, the third young master of the Zhao family, to Qingfeng City, the capital of Liang Guoguo.
Blood Knife Ancestor Chang Mengming is not only a big man in the rivers and lakes, but also secretly a gold medal guest of the Black Ice Platform.
He coveted the task with a big bounty, so he took it first.
It's just that after Chang Meng came to Nanyang City, he couldn't find any trace of Zhao Yujie, so he wanted to find Zhao Yujie under the guise of accepting apprentices.
“…… So we just want to invite the third young master of your mansion to take a trip to Qingfeng City, and there is really no malice. I also asked my seniors to raise their noble hands and spare Xiaodao's life. After speaking, the old Taoist priest looked at Zhao Sheng with a blank look.
After Zhao Zhijing figured out the reason, his face was cloudy, as if there was something difficult to decide.
However, Zhao Xuanyi and the four clan elders suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.
I see!
"It seems that the Tanglin thief is not dead, and our Zhao family has repeatedly refused. He actually wanted to forcibly recruit Yujie into the army. It's unreasonable! A clan elder said indignantly.
But Zhao Xuanyi was full of wry smiles.
The Duke of Tanglin is a side branch of the Liang family of the Liang royal family, and the Liang family is a family that builds a foundation and cultivates immortals.
The reason why Tanglin Gong is so persevering should not be just to recruit a son-in-law, but more likely to use Jie'er as a fertility tool.
The clan elders didn't know the inside story, so they couldn't understand the crazy practices of the Tanglin Gong.
You must know that the descendants of immortal cultivators do not necessarily have spiritual roots, but are more mortals. And the birth rate of spiritual roots will decline rapidly from generation to generation.
If there is no spiritual root for five generations in a row, it means that there will be no descendants with spiritual roots in the future.
The Tanglin family is now facing this extremely embarrassing situation.
At this time, Zhao Zhijing had already made a decision.
He opened his mouth and ordered: "Xuan Yong, Xuan Xin, you two will take this person down and interrogate him again in detail to see if any details are missing." Xuanhua and Xuanwei, you two will take someone to clean up this place. ”
"Yes, Third Ancestor." The four elders of the Zhao family immediately bowed down and said yes.
After Zhao Zhijing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Sheng, and invited: "Lao Jiu, let's go to the inner study to talk?"
Zhao Sheng nodded with a serious expression.
Zhao Zhijing looked at Zhao Xuanyi again and said, "Xuanyi, you can come with me!" You've worked hard all these years. ”
……
Two hours later, when Zhao Sheng listened to the ups and downs that the Zhao family had experienced over the years, he was both sad and emotional.
For the sake of their family, the Zhao family can be described as a great loss of vitality.
After Zhao Sheng's family scattered and fled, Zhao Hexing, the head of the family at the time, suddenly killed all the insiders with his own hands, and then ordered the clansmen to scatter and hide. In the end, he killed himself, and his death was heroic.
Just one day later, the Zhou family really tracked down, but all the insiders who knew that Zhao Sheng's family had escaped were already dead.
The Zhou family, who did not find any clues, went berserk and went on a killing spree in the Zhao family.
After the Zhou family left, Zhao Jiaren Liyi's three rooms suffered heavy casualties, and most of the descendants died.
The Zhao family's vitality was greatly damaged, and they had to take the initiative to shrink their sphere of influence and choose to lie dormant and lick their wounds.
It wasn't until thirty years later that Zhao Zhijing was promoted to congenital and the Zhao family recovered.
For decades, only the eldest son, Zhao Chenggong, returned to the Zhao family with his wife and children ten years later.
And his son is none other than Zhao Xuanyi.
When Zhao Xuanyi knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng was filled with joy and sorrow for a while, and his mood was extremely complicated.
His eldest son, Zhao Chenggong, died three years ago without waiting for him to return.
However, Zhao Chenggong is lucky, he can at least be buried in the ancestral land. On the contrary, it is Chengfeng, and the six of them have not been heard from for so many years, and I don't know if they are still alive now.
After the grandfather and grandson recognized each other, Zhao Sheng briefly told about all kinds of things on his side for decades.
He didn't say it too clearly, and in some places he was deliberately vague.
He didn't mean to hide it, but to protect the Zhao family.
Because Zhao Sheng was not sure if the Zhou family had given up tracking down their whereabouts.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Sheng returned to his hometown alone.
Before he returned, he was mentally prepared to commit suicide at any time.
Because the concept of time in the immortal cultivation world is different from that in the mortal world.
A foundation building monk can live for more than 200 years, while the fake Dan real person has a 500 lifespan, and the Jindan real person is comparable to Peng Zu, with a full 800 years of life.
Therefore, in the concept of the Xiuxian family, a hundred years is not a long time.
Even if Zhao Sheng said vaguely, it was enough for Zhao Zhijing and Zhao Xuanyi.
The magnificent and mysterious world of cultivating immortals, the immortal cultivators who draw talismans and cast spells and fly with imperial weapons, all kinds of unheard of spiritual plants and medicines, and so on.
All of them shocked the two of them, and they became more and more envious of those immortal cultivators who could live for hundreds or thousands of years.
