Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Family Behind the Scenes
Qin Mu ran to the mountain gate and found that except for the eight senior brothers on duty, there was no one else in sight.
Qin Mu looked around for a moment and asked the senior brother on duty on the side: "Senior brother, my name is Qin Mu, and I just received a paper crane from the sound transmission that someone is looking for me. Excuse me, is the person looking for me gone?"
One of the senior brothers on duty glanced at him and pointed to the stone steps below the mountain gate.
The mountain gate of Wutianzong is built on the mountainside of Wutian Mountain, and the peaks such as Tongtian Peak and Emerald Green Peak are all in Wutian Mountain.
Every time Wu Tianzong built a thousand stone stairs, he would build an excessive platform about three zhang wide. The platform at the entrance of the mountain is particularly large, and it can be regarded as the door face of Wutianzong, so the cultivation is particularly wide, all made of white marble, and there are more than ten zhang.
Looking at the gesture of the senior brother on duty, meaning that the person was on the platform below, Qin Mu walked down. The platform below was empty, and he was a little annoyed, wondering who was playing tricks on him.
"Little boy, I finally found you. Just as he leaned over to look at the platform below, a deep voice came from behind him.
Qin Mu's body stiffened, and cold sweat instantly broke out from his back.
He turned around slowly, and said to the person behind him with a stiff expression, "Steward Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Fu was wearing a brown silk suit, his hair and beard were gray, and he was still dressed like a fairy, but his figure was not as tough as before.
He braced his waist on his hands, panting slightly.
"Little boy, I've been looking for you for a whole year, and the Qin thief still has a bit of a conscience, so he can let you come to Wutian Sect to practice. After Qin Fu finished speaking, he sighed, and then said, "Today, Lao Er is here to atone for his sins. Two years ago, the old man was ashamed of you, and I hope that the little boy has a lot of them, don't take it to heart. โ
Qin Mu clenched his fists, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he roared angrily: "Don't take it to heart, hmph, I will never forget the hookup you did with Qin Thief for the rest of my life!"
Qin Fu's face was embarrassed, he sighed slightly, and said earnestly: "I can understand the pain of the little boy, today I came, the old man specially apologized to you, besides, the old man also got retributionโโ"
"Retribution? What retribution can you have!
"I want to die, and now I am no different from death. โ
Qin Fu said, and when he saw him, he pulled up his sleeves with a slight tremble, and immediately, two gray withered hands stretched out in the air, and on each arm, there was a terrifying scar.
"See, this scar is due to the Qin thief, not only on my hands, but also on my feet, shoulders, and back - wherever there is a flow of soul power, there are scars like this. โ
"Qin Tianhai has already broken off my origin soul, and now I am just a wasted person. โ
On the steps, Qin Mu looked at the scar on Steward Qin's hand, couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, his voice trembled, and asked, "Thisโwhat's going on?"
"Two years ago, in the soul power test, I formed a bond with Qin Tianhai, but he remembered that I was an alchemy master of the Chongyuan Realm, so he barely spared my life. However, a year ago, Qin Tianhai led the four major feudal lords to rebel and overthrow the clan. Qin Fu was stunned, his eyes swayed with infinite vicissitudes, at this time, his face no longer had the original arrogance, and some only belonged to the vicissitudes of an old man.
Although Qin Fu had prevented him from entering the Martial Heaven Sect two years ago, looking at him with an old appearance, Qin Mu's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of sympathy.
"He finally attacked me, and now, the old man's cultivation has been lost, this can be regarded as karma, the old man has no complaints about this, it's just-" Qin Fu began to pause in his tone as always, it was like this two years ago, and he still can't change this habit after two years.
However, two years of cultivation had made Qin Mu mature a lot, if it was before, Qin Mu would definitely pat his ass and leave, but now he said: "It's just what? Steward Qin came from afar, presumably not just to atone for his sins, right?"
Qin Fu's face suddenly changed, and he smiled slightly: "The little boy is smart, and he can see Lao Er's mind at once." The old man no longer beat around the bush, so let's just say it. A year ago, the clan was overthrown, but he Qin Tianhai never thought that in fact, the clan still had power in other fields, and in the past year, all forces had gathered and vowed to eradicate the Qin thieves. โ
"The clan still has power, why haven't I heard of it?" Qin Mu asked with a suspicious expression.
"The Qin clan has been in business for thousands of years, and its power is distributed all over Central Continent, such as the Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang. I don't know if the little prince knows that in the history of the Central Continent, there was once a dynasty that unified the entire Martial Spirit Continent?" Qin Fu asked Qin Mu.
Sixteen years ago, Qin Mu was still living in a world with advanced technology. In that world, he only knew that in ancient times, Qin Shi Huang unified China and established the Great Qin Dynasty. But for this other world, he naturally doesn't know what Middle-earth history is. So, he shook his head slightly.
The corners of Qin Fu's mouth raised a treacherous smile, and he said, "A long time ago, the Central Continent has always been scattered, the world is six, the heroes are together, and there are many sects. It wasn't until a thousand years ago that the entire Middle-earth Continent was unified, and it was the once-famous Great Qin Empire that unified the Middle-Continent. Then, with the changes of history, the entire Great Qin Empire was invaded by some kind of dark force, and in just one hundred years, the mighty Great Qin Empire fell apart. In the end, the descendants of the Qin family fled to the realm south of Zhongzhou and established Yunshui City, and the most primitive clans were the descendants of the Qin family. โ
Qin Fu shook his head and continued: "This is the history of your Qin family, you are the last descendant of the Qin family. โ
The last descendant of the Great Qin Empire?
Qin Mu only felt that he was struck by a bolt of lightning, and his head slammed, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
After a long time, Qin Mu was a little sober and looked at Steward Qin in disbelief. And looking at the resolute look in Qin Fu's eyes, Qin Mu already believed in this fact.
He is the descendant of the Great Qin Empire, and he also has the blood of the royal family in his body.
Qin Fu saw Qin Mu steady for a moment, and said: "Although it is said that the clan was overthrown by Qin Tianhai, the forces in various parts of Central Continent have not been eradicated, so he launched this expeditionary battle. His purpose is to eradicate all the descendants of the Qin clan, including you. โ
"Why? He is surnamed Qin, how could he be so cruel to his own people?"
Qin Fu shook his head and sighed, "No, no, he Qin Tianhai is just surnamed Qin, and he is an orphan picked up by the old city lord when he was on an expedition to the soul beast battlefield. He is not from the Qin family. โ
Qin Tianhai is not from the Qin family?
Qin Mu was dumbfounded, this simply subverted his thoughts. If Qin Tianhai was really not a member of the Qin family, then he would have a reason to exterminate the Qin family.
"It's just, why does Qin Tianhai have a deep hatred with our Qin family, why do you want to wipe out the Qin family before you give up?" Qin Mu asked although he couldn't believe it in his heart.
Qin Fu shook his head and said slightly: "The reason for this, the old man doesn't know. Now, Yunshui City has become a pot of porridge, the clan power is rising, and now everything is only owed to the east wind, if the little prince can go back with me and be the new sect master of the clan, we can lead the army to annihilate the Qin thief. โ
Returning to Yunshui City with Qin Fu? Listening to Steward Qin's mouth and mouth saying a lot of secrets, Qin Mu's heart was even more full of doubts.
What if this is a conspiracy?
Qin Tianhai was a sinister and cunning person, he might just send Steward Qin to stage this bitter trick, and his purpose was to lure him back to the city.
Then, eradicate this last hidden danger of him.
Thinking of this, Qin Mu sneered and said, "My cultivation is not as good as those clan masters, and it will only be a burden when I go back." Besides, I'm in a critical period of cultivation right now, and I don't plan to go back. You go back first, I won't send it-"
"Little boy, the major elders of the clan asked me to take you back, please don't embarrass me. Qin Fu interrupted him, his attitude was resolute and he did not make any concessions.
"You better go back, I'll go down the mountain on the day I finish. โ
Qin Fu looked stunned and said, "Little boy, you have to think carefully, now that the major elders of the clan strongly recommend you to take the position, you must not miss the opportunity." โ
Qin Mu snorted coldly, his eyes were full of hatred, and said: "Now the time has not come, besides, even if you don't invite me down the mountain, I will go down the mountain in the future, and I will definitely avenge the revenge of killing my father! โ
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Qin Fu's agreement or disagreement, flicked his sleeves and walked up the ladder, and then heard Qin Fu's voice behind him, "Okay, little boy, I understand your thoughts, since you insist on not going back, the old man will not force it, but please let the little boy stay-"
Hearing this, Qin Mu stopped, turned his head and saw Qin Fu's palm in his arms, then took out a roll of cloth towels, carefully spread it out in the palm of his hand, and suddenly a faint blue light diffused, and a light blue soul beast nuclear crystal appeared in Qin Mu's eyes.
The soul beast core crystal is dark blue, and then in that dark blue, you can see a faint red liquid flowing slowly in it, as if it is transparent.
"This is a sixth-level soul crystal, which was deceived by Qin Tianhai back then, and I will give it to you today, it can be regarded as the old man's meager efforts, and I hope that the little boy will cultivate diligently, and when he kills the Qin thief in the future, he can remember the old man's intentions. After speaking, he cautiously stepped forward and handed this sixth-level soul crystal to Qin Mu's hand.
The soul beast core crystal is a spiritual object refined from the body of the demon beast, of course, not every demon beast has a soul crystal in the body, the storage rate of the soul crystal is relatively low, generally only one soul crystal appears in the body of ten demon beasts, so on the martial soul continent, the soul crystal is a rare thing, and it is a spiritual object that is even higher grade than the spirit crystal.
A second-grade soul crystal can improve a monk's cultivation by ten years.
The higher the level of the soul crystal, the stronger the soul power it attracts, like this sixth-level soul crystal, it is not allowed to increase the cultivation by fifty years.
"This is--sixth-level soul crystal?" Qin Mu glanced at the blue soul crystal curiously, and then skimmed the corners of his mouth without a trace, although this thing seems to be extraordinary, but it seems that the aura contained in it is still not as good as the aura of those high-grade true pills in the Nine True Caves.
"Well, this soul crystal was obtained by the old man back then, and it is useless to keep it now. Just give it to the little boy, and it will be regarded as atonement. I'll go back and resume my life, and when the clan power becomes stronger, it will also be the day when the little prince cultivates, and Qin Fu will definitely climb the mountain again to visit-" After speaking, he nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and went down the mountain directly.
As the sun set, looking at the vicissitudes of Qin Fu's departure, Qin Mu's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of sympathy.
Two years ago, Qin Fu was also regarded as a dignified fifth-grade martial artist, and coupled with the identity of Wang Chengguan's family, he was also in the limelight in Yunshui City.
Now, he has been in such a situation, it is really a creation and a bad world.
Qin Mu put away the soul crystal and watched Qin Fu leave.
After a long time, he turned around and returned to the mountain.
In fact, for the promotion of the clan, Qin Mu was a million willing in his heart.
It's just that he knew in his heart that his cultivation was still far from Qin Tianhai, and it was even more difficult to sword Qin thieves than to ascend to the sky.
Even if he really used the clan power to eradicate the Qin thief, for Qin Mu, if Qin Tianhai did not die in his hands, then Qin Tianhai's death would have no meaning.
Thinking of this, Qin Mu clenched his fists, and could only hold his breath.
Diligent cultivation is what he should do now.
As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
