Chapter 139: The Bronze Bell Rings at Night, and the Daomen Men Die
"Did you go to the Tianshan Sect?" Dao Quan looked at the woman, his brows furrowed, "What did he do when he went to the Tianshan Sect?"
"The eldest son, he went to Tianshan to send an apprentice. The concubine shrunk her neck, and her voice was weak.
The other two women also lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely solemn, making people feel suffocated.
"Ridiculous! The dignified Daomen eldest prince would go to the Tianshan Sect to apprentice!" Dao Chuan was really completely angry, he couldn't control his emotions, and slammed the table.
The mahogany table could no longer withstand the true qi bursting out from under his palm, and it was completely cracked, and all the chickens, ducks, fish, dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates were scattered all over the ground.
The two children curled up in their chairs in fright, their eyes wide and frightened as they looked at their angry father.
Except when they were not serious and lazy in their practice, they really had never seen Dao Quan get so angry.
"Master, don't be angry, Chuan'er, Chuan'er is there to go to Allure. The woman in the purple-gold brocade robe finally couldn't help but speak, she used to be Daoquan's second lady Qin.
It wasn't until Dokawa's mother fell ill and died that she became his wife, so she had the highest status among the three, and only she had the closest relationship with Dokawa.
Mrs. Qin can't have children, so she has loved Daochuan as her own child for so many years.
"Allure?" Dao Quan's temper suddenly eased, "Is it Gu Alling? Second Miss, she's still alive?"
"Yes, sir, the eldest prince just got this news from Tianji Pavilion not long ago, she has been in the imperial city all these years, but she is no longer surnamed Gu. Mrs. Qin's voice gradually lowered.
"Swallow······ Pleasure. Dao Quan was stunned by what Qin said, and slowly pronounced out the name.
"Yes, the eldest prince went to Tianji Pavilion because he saw Yan Chengcheng, he didn't believe that the second miss of the Gu family was dead, and he didn't believe that anyone would look so similar. As he thought, Yan Tingcheng was Gu Tingcheng, but she lost all her memories back then, so Chuan'er asked us to hide it from you. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of the second young lady, even if she forgot herself, even if she was only behind her, silently protecting her guard. As she spoke, Mrs. Qin choked up.
Why wasn't she worried about Chuan'er's accident? At first, she was unwilling, but after listening to Dao Chuan's words, she realized that Chuan'er had grown up.
Dao Quan was silent for a long time, and at this time the sky had completely darkened, and the whole sky was gloomy.
"Then why didn't he consult with me?" he finally spoke quietly.
No longer angry, but a little more tenderness in his tone.
"Chuan'er, he's afraid, afraid that you won't agree with him going, because he may never come back when he goes out this time. He's afraid that you will reprimand him for his stupidity and willfulness, not to mention that he is the future of the Daomen!"
When Mrs. Qin said this, the two children beside her nodded desperately, agreeing with Daochuan's words.
Daoquan's temper is already stern and weird, and he is always angry with them on weekdays, as long as he neglects the slightest while practicing, Daoquan will beat them up.
So Daochuan didn't dare to discuss with him
, and instead chose to run away from home.
"Do I usually look so scary?" said Doquan with a rare smile.
"Sir, you're not terrible, you're just too harsh on them. ”
Doquan slowly got up from his chair and let out a long sigh. He didn't know that he was being too them. 【¥~ABC @~Better Update Faster】
But they were born in the Daomen, so they had to inherit the secret techniques that the Daomen had inherited for thousands of years, otherwise, how could he be worthy of the dead ancestors and ancestors.
"That's it, let him go. He said something that even Madam Qin was surprised by.
"Maybe that's what he really wants, I'm not old, and I can sit in this position for him for a few more years. Dao Quan paused.
"Maybe this outing will be a good experience for him! When he comes back, he will be able to understand what responsibility is and what commitment is. ”
"The old man is wise. Mrs. Qin was overjoyed when she heard Daoquan's words, and got up and saluted him.
Only then did they realize that Daoquan was not as old-fashioned as they imagined.
"Yunxia, Chuan'er is really exactly like you!" the corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing a smile of relief.
"Sir. Outside the door, a servant walked in, holding a dark gold invitation.
The invitations are made with great care, and the thick red cloth is embroidered with gold and silver threads.
"Don't you really take a look at the invitation from the Bai Clan's gambling house?" the old servant's voice was extremely hoarse.
"What's so nice, I'm just a martial artist, and most of the things they auction are flashy ornaments, and I'm not interested. Daoquan waved his hand and motioned for him to accept the invitation.
The Taoist family, as a famous family in Tiandu, naturally received an invitation to the auction, but Daoquan was obviously not interested in this matter.
Instead of spending so much money on a bunch of useless decorations, it is better to spend this money on strengthening the Dao Sect and improving the strength of the disciples.
"Go down. Daoquan waved his hand.
"By the way, I prepared another table of food and brought it up, and I accidentally broke the table just now. He looked at the mess and commanded the old servant who was about to leave.
"No. The old servant replied, holding the invitation in the palm of his hand and about to leave.
Suddenly there was a rush of bells in the compound, which echoed in the huge courtyard, and really sent a sense of panic to everyone's heart.
In the backyard of the disciples of the Daomen, dozens of disciples were eating dinner around the long table, and when they heard the loud bell, they all put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands.
"What sound?"
Some disciples whispered curiously to the people around them, most of them were new disciples and had not heard the reason for this bell.
"This is the Demon Bell, a magic weapon that has been passed down for thousands of years by the Daomen, and it is said that it can be ranked among the top ten magic weapons, just because it is too old, and it has not made a sound for hundreds of years. The older disciple's face looked extremely serious.
"I haven't made a sound in hundreds of years, why?" the young disciple looked confused.
He didn't know why he was asking why there were hundreds of demon bells
I haven't been ringing in years, and I'm still asking why the bell is ringing now.
"This bell rings only when you feel the demonic energy. For hundreds of years, there have been few incidents of monsters hurting people in the world, let alone in the capital of this day, so this demon bell has never sounded again. ”
And at this moment, this bell is ringing so quickly, how strong is the demonic qi that makes it so enduring.
"But now it's ringing. As soon as he finished speaking, the newly initiated disciple opened his mouth wide, as if he understood something.
"Yes, that is, ······" The Dao Sect disciple's face turned grim and said slowly.
"Tiandu City has come to demons. He lifted his eyes, and there was a fierce glint in them.
Aren't the disciples of the Daomen sect cultivating secret art for hundreds of years just for the sake of the demons? They have been waiting for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, just for now.
So now, the years of grumbling in their breasts, the solace they have sought after years of suffering, all burst forth at this moment.
Their eyes were full of brilliance, a kind of eager, eager light.
"Old man, this is a ······" As soon as the old servant took two steps, he heard the soul-stirring bell, and naturally panicked, and his hands holding the invitation could not stop shaking.
The three wives and concubines and the two children also looked in horror at the place where the sound came.
It was the backyard of the Daomen, and the Demon Bell had been quietly placed in that old house for thousands of years, and it seemed to fall down when it was pushed.
"Demon Bell. Dao was alert and looked at the dark sky in the distance.
"Patriarch, patriarch!" Dozens of Dao disciples came when they heard this.
"Ziru, Zilin, why are you here?" Dao Quan looked at the two leaders in front of the disciples, they were both leaders of the Dao Sect, and they were all Golden Immortal strength.
"Patriarch, you also heard the bell of the demon bell, there is a demon in the capital this day!" Daozi can be regarded as Daoquan's nephew, he is not very old, and he looks like he is only in his early thirties.
"I heard that, so what?" Daoquan nodded, not seeming to take the matter to heart.
"This ......" Dao Ziru and Dao Zilin looked at each other, they didn't expect Dao Quan to be so indifferent.
"Patriarch, that's a demon, isn't it just for today that we have practiced the method of eliminating demons for generations?" Ziru bent down and bowed deeply to Daoquan.
"Is it just, for today?" Daoquan muttered to himself, not in the slightest moved by Ziru's words.
The disciples gathered at the door felt a chill in their hearts, feeling that Dao Quan was perfunctory to them.
"Patriarch, how did you become like this? On weekdays, when you urged everyone to cultivate, it was not like this, at that time you said that the duty of our Dao Sect is to eliminate demons and defend the country and stabilize the world. Dao Zilin was an anxious man, and he said in a loud voice.
Mrs. Qin has never seen Dao Quan's appearance, he has always been vigorous and resolute on weekdays, as long as he hears where there is wind and grass, he wants to see if there is a monster at work.
But at this moment, when he heard the bell of the demon bell, he lost his former passion.
"It's not that I've changed, it's that none of you have heard an old saying. Finally, the Tao Quan, who had been silent, spoke.
"What old saying?" puzzled everyone.
"The bronze bell rang at night, and the people of the Daomen died. He said slowly, and the eight words spit out one after another, clearly echoing in the hearts of every Taoist person.
They finally knew why the patriarch, who usually seemed righteous and awe-inspiring, cowered at this moment, because there was a trace of fear in his heart, from the ancient prophecy.
"When the bronze bell rings at night, the Daomen people die, what does this mean?" A disciple in the crowd was puzzled and asked with courage.
This ancient saying has been passed down from generation to generation since the demon bell stopped sounding, and only the patriarch knows about it. Do you know now why I'm so indifferent?"
Daoquan lowered his head and looked at everyone condescendingly. They all bowed their heads, their eager expressions stiffening on their faces, turning into worried looks.
