Chapter 5: The Past

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and after a night of recuperation, Liansheng felt much better and just wanted to meditate. I heard a noise from the next room.

"Grandpa, tell me, how did my aunt die? Why did I go to Nanhai Lian's house, they all said that my mother was killed by my grandfather, tell me quickly! Tell me! When the young man saw his grandfather, whom he had not seen for more than a month, he shouted excitedly with tears.

"What is the gibberish about? Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will hear it? Long Yuqi scolded

"Afraid he'll hear it? I already asked him when I entered the village, didn't he tell you? Father? "You're afraid of him, but I'm not afraid!" The boy wiped away his tears, "Grandpa, tell me if it's okay, how did my mother die?" The boy knelt beside the white-haired old man and begged.

"What? No wonder Uncle and Lotus ...... It turns out that you just entered the village and ......" Before Long Yujiao finished speaking, the old man took off his mask and leaned down to approach the Dragon Tomb kneeling on the ground, "You're not afraid?" A low, hoarse voice rang in the boy's ears.

What kind of face is that, Long Ling sat on the ground with his buttocks, a pair of eyes that were deeply sunken but could only see white eyeballs, his cheekbones were towering, and there was no one to cover them under his cheekbones, was this still a person? "What, this is scared? Compared to me, the boss's methods are much more powerful than this. The old man put on his mask again, "You still want to be a high priest like this?" Hum! I'll tell you now that it's your mother who was killed by the patriarch, what? Can you still get revenge? The nearly seven-foot fishbone Zen staff swept towards the kneeling father and son, and the two hurriedly dodged back, but the Zen staff just turned into an arc-shaped trajectory and returned to the old man's hand, and then inserted it into the bluestone floor, "One of you two learns the art of the pulse, the other learns the skill of fire refining, the rain tribulation, you have learned the pulse for thirty years, and now you can only barely start the three pulses; Ling'er, you have been studying fire for more than seven years, and now you can't understand the cultivation of the Sanjiao Twelve Sutras, and you were almost poisoned into a medicine man when you went out for the first time, and you also vainly said that you want to avenge your mother! ”

"The son is useless, the son is useless."

"Grandchildren are useless, grandchildren are useless." I saw that the two descendants of the Long Clan who were kneeling on the ground didn't dare to raise their heads.

"Alright, there's no hope for anything that you two are inferior to. If you knew today, you should have put ......"

"Second junior brother, when did I kill Ling'er and his mother? You have to make this clear, do you think it's too easy for me to be the patriarch, or you will be it? The dragon king's figure suddenly appeared, "In front of outsiders, your high priest is so open-mouthed?" ”

"I'm just kidding, why should I take it seriously. These indisputable things go out and listen to the nonsense of those outsiders, which will ruin your reputation. I've already taught them a lesson, why don't you punish them severely, Patriarch? "Long Xiao seems to have known that the Dragon King is coming, and with a wave of his robe, he will let you dispose of the situation.

The Dragon King didn't care, "Hmph! Have you two imps heard enough? A little monk slowly walked out of the bamboo house next door, and the girl with the eaves of the bamboo house was lying in the sun.

"It's boring, it's raining for more than 200 days a year in this ghost place, and it's hard to find that the sun doesn't let me bask enough," the girl slapped her palm, holding an oil umbrella and falling from the sky, her skirt fluttering with wind chimes, and her body was graceful, like a fairy descending to earth and falling beside the little monk; When the little monk Liansheng saw that the person who came was a lotus, he smiled and hurriedly covered his bald head with both hands. Seeing this, Lotus also raised her little hand in cooperation, pretending to pat the little bald head, and giggled.

"Ling'er, what you asked yesterday I will make it clear to you today in front of your father and grandfather," the Dragon King walked straight to Long Xiao, "Thirty years ago, in the Battle of the Dragon Palace, your mother Lian Cuo, my daughter Long Kui, son-in-law Lianzhong, my sister Luo Shui is also your grandmother, and the countless Dragon Clan tribes all died at the hands of the ten major sects, giant whales, sea sand, cangwu, Dongting, lake immortals, Tianya Haige, fish dragons, Tianmang......"

"Then I'd like to ask why they are besieging my Dragon Palace?" Long Xiao wiped the Zen staff,

"Naturally, your Dragon Palace is ...... powerful"

"Oh? Our Dragon Palace is powerful, so what are you Dragon King? Oh~ Yes, yes, yes, you don't have the surname Long, your surname is Luo, your Luo clan teamed up with the Lian clan and Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall to attack my Dragon Palace overnight, thinking I don't know? If it weren't for the Lotus family's antidote and the Thunderbolt Hall gunpowder, their miscellaneous fish gang would have been able to enter our Dragon Island? ”

Lotus was shocked, Grandpa was not a member of the Long family, but a disciple of the Luo family, the head of the three major families in the rivers and lakes. "Grandpa," Lotus couldn't help but call, and her originally smiling face became nervous.

"You say that my Luo guy has empirical evidence with the Lian clan and Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall?" The old man was not angry, "If not, don't instigate juniors here." ”

"Evidence?" The old man grabbed off his mask to reveal a terrifying face, and then ripped off his shirt to expose the knife wound on his chest, and when he turned around, he could see a sunken palm wound on his back, "This is the evidence!" The gunpowder of the Thunderbolt Hall, the poison of Tianmang Mountain, the sword of the Dongting, the knife of the Ichthyosaurus Gang, and the famous stunt of your Luo family, Luo Yinzhang, how about it? Is it enough? The more Long Xiao spoke, the more excited he became, and his old body trembled slightly, not wanting this secret that had been silent for nearly twenty years to be presented in such a way between the two brothers.

The Dragon King looked at Long Xiao and didn't open his mouth after all. Long Xiao raised his head as if he saw the sinking sky, and the memories that had been sealed for many years were like the falling raindrops, which could not be counted.

"The dragon family, the rise is only a hundred years, there was a Nangong Long Chen in the rivers and lakes back then, proficient in astrology, trigrams, pulse, fire alchemy, measuring stars, judging rain and snow, repairing water conservancy, and building a pivot; Official boat travel, fishing boat fishing, flood warning, report to the king's grace, benefit the people, the emperor personally gave the dragon surname meaning and the same life as the Son of Heaven, gave the South China Sea Dragon Island as its residence, and then opened the sect named Dragon Palace, and the daughter of the medicine king thank you for tying the knot and living in seclusion on Dragon Island. Maybe it's jealousy of talent, grandfather died before forty, grandmother thank you is worthy of being the daughter of the medicine king, in charge of the Dragon Palace for less than ten years, the family in the south of the Yangtze River has become a subsidiary of the Long family, Luo's, Lian's, Zhurong's three major families, as well as dozens of gangs along the coast and lakes have become the vassals of the Long family, and the grandmother passed on the grandfather's mastery to the three major families respectively, on the condition that the three major families need to use their descendants as hostages to stay in the Dragon Palace. Long Xiao put on his mask again, "I was only seven years old that year, and the Luo family sent two protons, one is your grandfather, his original name is Luo Fan, and his sister Luo Shui, the Lian family sent Lianying, and the Zhu Rong clan was divided into Perak Hall and Thunder Gate because of civil strife. Because of the same age, my father Long Miao and my uncle Long Yan took Luo Fan and Luo Shui Lian Ying under their door, and usually my grandmother taught Luo Shui and Lian Ying when she taught Sister Long Lan pharmacology, while I practiced martial arts with Luo Fan and my stupid brother Long Yin; In the past fifteen years, six people have learned, and they have traveled the rivers and lakes together, which is the fastest day in my life, seventeen villages were rebuilt under the leadership of Luo Fan, and twelve dikes have blocked the floods for many years, and the name of the dragon king comes from this, and then Sister Long Lan and Luo Fan have feelings for each other and become husband and wife, Long Yin and Lianying, me and Luo Shui, we returned to the Dragon Palace to hold a wedding, at that time, the three major families and my Long family were all happy, until my grandmother died, and the three major families and coastal gangs came to mourn, At the same time, he is also exploring whether the Dragon Palace can still have the ability to suppress the forces of all parties, and his father is not as weathered as his grandfather, and finally after the six of us have a next generation, the three major families can no longer endure the suppression of this generation, the Lotus family started with medicinal materials, and was subject to the descendants of Sister Longlan Medicine King, and sent two protons soon after the birth of Yuxiao and Yusheng, the boy is called Lianzhong, and the girl is called Lian Wrong; A year later, Long Lan gave birth to Nightshade, but she died in childbirth, "Long Xiao seemed to be intending to wait for the Dragon King to answer, but the Dragon King still didn't say a word, and the juniors didn't dare to breathe when they heard it," At this time, the Lotus family sent the last proton named Lian Que. ”

"Alright, no more talk!" The Dragon King finally spoke

"Senior brother, back then, when you lived in seclusion with the survivors under great pressure, didn't I know that it had nothing to do with you? So how can I ever object to you being the patriarch? But all these years, why did you stop me from tracking down the Luo clan and the Lian clan? They sent you and Shui'er to the Dragon Palace as hostages, and Ying'er, they once treated you as a clan, only my father and uncle, treat you like parents and children, and teach you martial arts, you are not only my senior brother, my cousin Long Lan became your wife, your sister Luoshui became my wife, although you and I have different surnames, but we have long been close to each other. At least I never doubted you......"

"That's enough, it's useless to talk about it at this age."

"What about my master? How was Long Yusheng expelled from the family? Grandpa, you said, he is your apprentice. The little monk was not interested in hearing about the family history of almost a hundred years, and the master who had always only cared about himself blurted out, "snapped", and was slapped by the little girl on the head without believing.

The Dragon King glanced at Long Xiao and snorted coldly, "There will be a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow." ”

"My Long Clan has fallen into decay so far, and one day I will let them return them one by one." The Zen staff fell to the ground suddenly, and the bluestone-paved floor shattered, "Help your good son to the bed to rest," a black pill bounced into Long Ling's mouth.
