The six islands of Junyang are the blessed land of Lingdao in the center of Taisu thousands of years ago, which was opened by Chen Zhenren, the patriarch of the Taisu generation thousands of years ago.

For thousands of years, the Chen family has branched out, but the main vein still lives on the six islands of Junyang, and it has been operated from generation to generation, before casting the name of the Junyang Chen family.

On the main island, the Taoist looked like a hurried through the hall and through the room, connected through three halls, and walked through four or five courtyards, came to a rippling lake, a small pavilion was built by the lake, a covered bridge extended from the pavilion, to the middle of the lake a floating boat building, a young Taoist is standing on the edge of the fence on the top floor of the boat building, looking at the lake in a daze.

The Taoist boy hurriedly entered the small pavilion, and before he stepped on the covered bridge, he was stopped by two Taoists, and said expressionlessly: "The head of the family has an order, if there is nothing important, do not disturb." ”

"Something important, a big thing!" Dao Tong was so anxious that he was about to jump up, but the Dao man still didn't move, and said indifferently: "Whether it's something important or not, you don't say it." ”

"You!" Dao Tong said angrily: "There is an urgent message from the door, Chen Yuan and the master of the sixth room were broken into the Danxia Courtyard by Xu Zhuang, a true disciple of the true lineage, and took them!" ”

"What?" The faces of the two Taoists changed, and one of them hurriedly said, "You wait, I'll go in and report now." ”

"No need." Suddenly, a cold voice came, and the young Taoist on the ship's top suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, and said to Dao Tong, "You tell me the matter in detail." ”

"Childe!" The three of them hurriedly saluted, Daotong didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly told what he knew, and then took out the letter he received and handed it to the young man, who quietly listened to what Daotong said, took the letter, and said lightly: "I already know the matter, so I will go in and inform the head of the family, you have done a good job in this matter." ”

Then he said to the two Taoists: "The master of the house is entertaining, it is not appropriate to disturb, you should continue to be on duty." ”

The three of them respectfully said, "Yes!" Looking back, the young Taoist had already reached the top of the ship again.

The young Taoist returned to the shipbuilding, and looked at the letter again, the previous paragraph recorded in detail how the newly promoted true disciple broke into the Danxia Courtyard and captured Chen Yuanji in front of the Danxia elders, and at this time, his expression that had been clear and cold revealed a hint of complexity, "Xu Zhuang ......"

The young man stood by the fence for a while, regained his cool appearance, and then strode into the shipyard, and when he had passed through the aisle, he heard a voice from within, and he had a headache when he boarded.

I only heard a female voice say: "Big brother! Since my sister got married, I have been thinking about my family all the time, and I am thinking about your eldest brother. You're good! I've been home for so long, and I want to see you all kinds of shirks, can I really treat my married sister as water that has been spilled? Don't you even hear Ah Mei call you big brother now! "In the middle of the speech is mourning, grievance, and melancholy.

The young man hesitated for a while, but finally lifted the beaded curtain and entered the inner room.

At a glance, I saw a middle-aged Taoist sitting on the top, with black hair and black beard, Zhou Zheng facial features, and a light of tea on the side of the case, with an expressionless face and a sip.

Opposite him was a beautiful woman of a young age, with hairpins and golden branches on her head, combing her sideburns, flowers and willow leaves, eyebrows, rouge and clouds, reddish corners of her eyes, and a teardrop still hanging. "It's really pitiful.

The first person is the current head of the Chen family, Chen Zongzheng, and the beautiful woman is Chen Zongzheng's biological sister, the former daughter of the Chen family, Chen Lian.

Chen Zongfeng still looked cold, only bowed briefly, and shouted, "Auntie." He walked quickly to the side of the middle-aged Taoist and saluted, "Uncle." ”

He measured his face slightly, glanced at the beautiful woman, hesitated for a moment, took out the letter from his sleeve and said, "There is an urgent letter in the door." ”

Seeing Chen Zongfeng's appearance, Chen Zongzheng glanced sideways slightly, took the Fu Xin, swept his eyes, stared at the time, slapped the Fu Xin on the case, and snorted coldly: "Stupid." ”

Chen Lian seemed to be a little surprised when she heard this, and her pitiful expression also pressed a little, and she was concerned: "Big brother, but what happened in the clan?" “

"See for yourself." He glanced at Chen Lian lightly, flicked his fingers, and sent the letter talisman to her.

Chen Lian took the letter and looked at it carefully, and immediately a dazzling word came straight into view, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Xu Zhuang!"

Chen Lian gritted her teeth and said, "Big brother! You can see it, this thief is so insulting to Yuan Ji that he doesn't take the Chen family in his eyes at all! ”

"See what? I did something stupid, committed it in the hands of others, and tired the family's reputation was damaged, and I did see it. Chen Zongzheng said: "I want to ask you whether Yuan Ji acted at your instigation. ”

Chen Lian said aggrievedly: "What does the eldest brother mean by this? My sister has been married for many years, where can she still speak in the clan? Who else did you instruct? Maybe Yuanji couldn't look down on the thief and complained about his sister, so he acted like this. Big brother, you are now the patriarch of the Chen clan, how can you face outsiders and quickly save Yuanji. ”

"It was better to do so." Chen Zongzheng said: "If Yuanji violates the rules of the door, even if the door is not dealt with, I will also punish him." As for the matter of him being captured by Xu Zhuang, the Law Enforcement Yuan will naturally deal with it. ”

Chen Lian was silent for a long time when she heard this, and her face became cold, and she said after a while: "Now I can see it, why did the eldest brother shirk meeting me, because he was afraid that I would beg the eldest brother to avenge my Lian'er, right?" ”

"Fourteen years ago, my Hua'er was killed by Yue Junlan, I begged my eldest brother, but my eldest brother rejected me on the grounds that it was inconvenient to have a bad relationship with Yue, and I swallowed this breath. Fourteen years later, my Lian'er was killed by Xu Zhuang, and the thief was just a new true heir, neither born in a giant room, nor a real disciple in the sect, so the eldest brother was so afraid that it would not happen? ”

Chen Zongzheng picked up the tea, took a sip lightly, and put it back on the table, and after doing a set of actions, he said lightly: "Chen, it's the Chen family of Taisu." ”

"Okay, what a plain Chen." Chen Lian sneered, "It seems that I, Chen Lian, am a woman who is married outside, and the children under my knees are not too plain people, so naturally I am not a member of the Chen family." I and I are refining and turning into a child, and I am the real outsider in my eldest brother's heart. ”

"Li'er, you are the daughter of the Chen family, and you are the sister of my Chen Zongzheng. Naturally, he is a member of the Chen clan, and he will never be an outsider. ”

Chen Zongzheng called Chen Lian's name for the first time at this time, but the words that seemed to be warm spit out in a tone like frost: "Yang Lian, Yang Hua, I haven't been back home with you once since I became an adult, and I have never interacted with my Chen clansmen, walking outside, and even more embarrassed by Taisu disciples everywhere, fighting and killing Taisu people never stopped......"

"Did your good son ever think of himself as half a man? Have you ever regarded yourself as Chen's grandson? ”

"That's enough." Chen Lian closed her eyes, and two lines of tears couldn't help but overflow, "Since I married Yang Huaizun, how many benefits have I fought for the Chen family for Taisu, and how many people in the Tianhuo faction say that he is the 'good son-in-law' of the Chen family and the lackey of Taisu." Lian'er, Hua'er, how much they have been oppressed, looking at Bian, and Huaizun father and son, they are all in trouble because of this! They're just young and rebellious, Chen Zongzheng! How can you say such indifferent words? ”

The tone of his words was flat, but how many emotions he contained, Chen Zongfeng's cold face changed slightly, but Chen Zongzheng was just silent.

Seeing that Chen Zongzheng did not respond, Chen Lian's heart was already like ashes, he smiled desolately, stopped speaking, and didn't care about any courtesy, got up and left.

Until Chen Lian's figure disappeared outside the hall, Chen Zongzheng didn't look at her again, only picked up the tea and tasted it lightly, and the room was silent for a long time.

"Uncle, is this really good?" Chen Zongfeng asked suddenly.

Seeing that Chen Zongzheng did not respond, Chen Zongfeng was entangled for a while, but still spoke again: "What my aunt said is not unreasonable, otherwise Chen Yuanji would not have rashly come forward for this. Handled like this...... Will it chill the hearts of the clansmen? ”

"What kind of reasoning?" Chen Zongzheng didn't raise his eyelids either, "The clansmen only saw that Yang Huaizun had won countless benefits for Taisu, and most of them fell into my Chen bag." As for Yang Lian and Yang Hua, how to rebel and how to make things difficult with the Taisumen people, they will not be right with my Chen clan, what does it have to do with us, right? ”

"You think the same way?"

Without waiting for the most outstanding nephew of the next generation to think, Chen Zongzheng said again: "Then have you ever thought about how much benefit Yang Huaizun has fought for, and it has not fallen into the Chen family's bag, and your Chen clan's daughter, the son of a good son-in-law, and the true inheritance of the Tianhuo Sect, is embarrassed by Taisu everywhere outside, and has killed countless Taisu people in the fighting method. What do outsiders think? What do other families think? What do you think about the door? ”

"You Chen, is it the Chen of Taisu, or the Chen of Tianhuo?"

"This!" Chen Zongfeng took a step back in horror, 'The Chen clan of Taisu, or the Chen clan of Tianhuo?' Chen Zongzheng's words were like the ringing of a bell, deafening, echoing in his mind over and over again, and he felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Chen Zongfeng said with difficulty: "My nephew is stupid, I think badly. ”

Chen Zongzheng did not reply, so the atmosphere became cold again.

After a while, Chen Zongfeng spoke again: "It's just...... Is this a bit unfair to my aunt? ”

When Chen Zongzheng couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't know whether it was relief or pity, and sighed: "Zongfeng, I didn't expect you to always look cold on weekdays, but at this time, you can still think about others." ”

"It's just that no matter what, the Chen clan can't express their dissatisfaction with this matter, let alone deal with the true legend in the sect, do you understand. Later on, you remember that in the summons gate, Jonghyuk was not allowed to do stupid things. ”

Chen Zonghe is a Yuan Ying Venerable in the Chen clan, and he is in charge of the position of Deputy Yuan Venerable in the Sect Law Academy.

After explaining the matter, Chen Zongzheng waved his hand: "I'm tired today, you can go down." ”

"Yes." Chen Zongfeng also knew that this was the most correct decision, so he didn't say more, and prepared to leave after saluting respectfully.

It's just that suddenly Chen Zongzheng shouted again: "Wait." ”

Chen Zongfeng stopped, looked back in confusion, but saw that Chen Zongzheng was holding the tea and did not move, as if he was uncertain, after a long time, he let out a long breath and said, "There is one more thing, you go and do it quickly." ”

"You go to Zongyu's place, see him, whether Li'er is with him or not, and tell him that it is best not to get involved in this matter."

"Uncle?" 'It's better not to'?

Doubts flashed in Chen Zongfeng's mind, this uncle was the youngest of his father's generation, although he was an elder, he was already far from his brother and sister when he was born, but he was only a hundred years old.

As far as Chen Zongfeng knows, this uncle was more taken care of by Chen Lian when he was a child, in addition to servants, and the two were very affectionate, and there was indeed a reason to help his aunt desperately, but it was just ......

Chen Zongfeng couldn't help but ask, "Although Uncle is also ...... In the past, he was a true disciple, but his cultivation has been abolished, even if he wants to stand up for his aunt, he is powerless, right? ”

"Oh?" Chen Zongzheng glanced at him and said solemnly, "Do you look down on Zong Yu?" ”

Although Chen Zongfeng didn't answer, Chen Zongzheng had already read everything from his face, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Even if the cultivation has been abolished, Zongyu has also achieved a top-grade golden pill, ranking as the true legend of Taisu. ”

"What about you? It has been more than 20 years since you practiced the Fa, and before Xu Zhuang went out to travel, his cultivation, spells, and fame were far inferior to yours, but now? When will you be able to touch Jindan Avenue, when will you be able to rank among the true legends, and when will you be able to truly support the next generation of the Chen family. Zong Feng? What reason do you have, what qualifications do you have to look down on Zong Yu? ”

"What about the top-grade Jindan, it wasn't that when Zhong Shenxiu hadn't become a Jindan, he shattered the Jindan and abolished his cultivation." Chen Zongfeng said coldly: "In time, I will definitely be able to achieve the top-grade Jindan, whether it is Xu Zhuang or Zhong Shenxiu, I will have to compete with them sooner or later." ”

"How about the top-grade Jindan? The high-grade golden pill represents whether it is talent, heart, wisdom, and good fortune...... It means that everything is above you. Xu Zhuang is like this, and so is Zong Yu. The way of Jindan is so simple, why is it Xu Zhuang who achieves the high-grade Jindan, not you. If you can't put your mind right, let's stop talking about the achievement of high-grade Jindan. ”

Chen Zongzheng said coldly: "As for Zhong Shenxiu...... This son is the Lingxiu of Zhong Tiandi, born in response to the luck of Xuanmen, and is a natural Taoist. Genshin Shinto also sees him as a figure of future Taoist friends. ......"Before the words were finished, a light sneer had already shown everything.

"Go ahead." Chen Zongzheng didn't bother to say anything, flicked his sleeves, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few cups of tea on the case.

"......" Chen Zongfeng's always cold face remained unchanged, but his sleeves were already clenched into fists, and he stood quietly for a moment before saluting the air and striding out of the outer room.

"Top-grade Jindan ......" Chen Zongfeng looked at the sunset from afar, the fist in his sleeve clenched tighter and tighter, and only let go after a while, and drops of bright red blood flowed down his palms to his fingertips and dripped on the deck of the ship.

At the same time, at the top of the ship, Chen Zongzheng also looked into the distance, picked up the tea and put it down, shook his head, opened his hand to take the wine jug, no need for cups and bowls, lifted it and poured it into his mouth, and a clear line of water poured out from the mouth of the pot.

It was not until late at night that he put down the flask in his hand for the first time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

He suddenly thought: What is the sentence I really want to say today, and what kind of practice is what I really want to do?

At the beginning of his cultivation, he was also very pure, and he only had great avenues, spells, and supernatural powers in his heart. As he got older, he gradually understood the sect, the master and apprentice, the family, and the siblings. Later, in-laws, elixirs, magic weapons, resources, spiritual mines......

Before you know it, there are more and more things that occupy your mind.

Master, Master, you told me to try to wipe the dust of my heart in order to hope for the way of the primordial gods, why didn't you do it?

Now that I have been in the cage for a long time, I am getting deeper and deeper, can I still get out and seek the Tao wholeheartedly?

"Genshin, ......"
