Chapter 203: Three Names and Two Choices
Familiar voices, familiar faces, and the names that were spoken were unheard of by Lin Qi in his life.
Who is this person in front of you?
Lin Qi was in a mess, whether he was a ghost venerable, or Lin Wu, or what he said.
Lin Jian'an.
At the same time as Lin Qi was in chaos, Sorrow also withdrew his fishing rod, bowed respectfully to Lin Jian'an and said, "Old decay just doesn't want the tragedy of the future to appear on this weakness of Lord Ghost Venerable. Now that the ghost venerable has been broken, there is no point in continuing the old decay, and the old decay is guilty and left to the ghost venerable. ”
Ghost Venerable stared at Sorrow solemnly, his face was like the father in Lin Qi's memory. The resolute face has a slight hint of the heroic spirit of youth, and the starry eyes and sword eyebrows are always his most striking features, but the years have left a few marks on his face. It's just that among those black hairs, a few strands of white hair are so dazzling.
After a while, the Ghost Venerable said slowly: "Sadness, it's not that you don't understand what you think, maybe you're right." But as a father, I want you to understand whether it's right or wrong. There is no need to punish you for this matter, I just hope you understand that Lin Qi's existence cannot be known to the clan. ”
Hearing this, the sorrow trembled, and a trace of sadness appeared on his old face.
"The old man obeyed. ”
"You wait outside, and the deity has to talk to him. ”
Then the sorrowful steps moved weakly, and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
At this time, the Ghost Venerable took back the family heirloom sword, turned around and walked towards Lin Qi.
At this time, Ying Qiu didn't know what the situation was, but the impact that the ghost zun brought to him was too great, and she couldn't help but grab Lin Qi's sleeve.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and Qi'er doesn't have anything to say to her father?" said the Onizun, sitting on another stone bench as he placed the family heirloom sword on the stone table.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I thought you would have a lot of questions, but it turned out to be such a question. Now, the Father will answer all your questions, and after that, the Father will give you two choices. ”
Just after Ghost Venerable finished speaking, Ying Qiu's weak voice came: "Little girl, you need to avoid it, so don't bother here." ”
Ying Qiu said that he wanted to get up and leave, leaving space for these two fathers and sons, who had been separated for many years and then reunited with huge differences.
And at this moment, Ghost Venerable waved his hand, and a kind mana made Ying Qiu unable to stand up, and at the same time, that mana turned into a powerful vitality to suppress the blood curse on her body.
"The little girl is weak and recuperates again, she is actually Lin Qi's confidant, and it doesn't hurt to listen to it. ”
Ying Qiu, who heard this, was startled at first, then smiled slightly and didn't speak.
Now Lin Qi gritted his teeth and said, "You haven't answered my question yet, who are you?"
"Who am I, I am Ghost Venerable, and I am also your father Lin Wu, and I also have a name, which is also my real name, a name that has long been buried in the world, Lin Jian'an. ”
As he spoke, a hint of remembrance flashed in the eyes of the Ghost Venerable, and then a sadness that seemed to penetrate the soul in an instant.
Although this trace of sadness was short-lived, Lin Qi still had a gap. At this moment, looking at the complicated color in his father's eyes, Lin Qi seemed to feel a trace of gloom. At the same time, the resentment between the original concealment of all this and his father has decreased, perhaps there is indeed a deep reason hidden in this.
"And what do these three names represent?"
Lin Qi asked nervously, and it was obvious that this question was the key to the whole thing.
Ghost Venerable was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "Before I tell you these three names, I need to tell you a story, my current identity, and the organization after this. ”
"It's Zi Ming!"
Ghost Venerable corrected: "It's not the Purple Underworld, it's the Purple Immortal Clan." ”
"Legend has it that more than 10,000 years ago, there were many ethnic groups in Bashan, and two of them were the leaders. One of them is the Terran, and the other is the Purple Hades. Although they are two populations, there is not much difference in fact, and the few differences are the Purple Immortal Clan, which has a spiritual vein of a heavenly body. The Ghost Venerable said and revealed his right arm, on which there was a purple vein.
"The difference with this purple vein allows the Purple Hades clan to cultivate a special kind of mana, which is purple qi. This kind of mana has great power, and it can not only eat away at all spirits, but also have the effect of assisting cultivation. Therefore, there are many talents in the Purple Hades Clan, and in the early days, the two tribes of Bashan supported each other to live in peace, and Bashan prospered. ”
"Until one day, a man appeared, and his words changed the situation in Bashan. Wars broke out between the clans until the Spirits perished, and eventually the Purple Hells were called demons and slaughtered by the Terrans. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qi also recalled the legend that Sorrow once told, and it was obvious that the two of them said the same.
"In the next 10,000 years, the human race issued an order to eliminate demons from time to time to kill the purple vein in the world, whether it was the main vein or the branch vein related to the purple underworld, they would be killed. ”
The evil demons of the purple underworld, the action of killing demons, all of this Lin Qi is no stranger to. In Qingyang Town, this kind of thing also happened, the original Pope was also killed on trumped-up charges, and now I can imagine that such a thing has happened many times.
"But secretly, the Purple Immortal Clan is always forbearing, when the clan is being slaughtered, when the clan is killed in the name of demons. The clan is forbearing, and it is only now that the time has come to recover the Purple Immortal Clan, so there will be everything that happened before. ”
Listening to his father's story, Lin Qi couldn't speak for a while.
Is it wrong for the Reconquest to fight for a race that has been branded as demons? Yes, but is it wrong for so many innocent monks to die in the Reconquest? There was nothing wrong, but everyone was doing something wrong, and Lin Qi couldn't figure it out for a while.
"You're thinking, everything we've done is wrong, and we've killed so many people. ”
Lin Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it okay to continue like this?" The Purple Immortal Clan has spent ten thousand years peacefully in the shadows. ”
Ghost Venerable smiled: "Haha, for ten thousand years, the clansmen have lived a life that has not seen the light of day. Every day, I am afraid that I will be discovered by the people of Bashan, because once I find out, I will provoke the demon extermination order. You can know how many innocent people have died in the Purple Hades Clan in such 10,000 years!"
"How many families have been killed, and how many tragedies have happened in the land of the Bashan people. Now the clan is going to break all of this and let the Purple Immortal Clan stand in the sunlight again. ”
Listening to the matter of this purple immortal clan, Lin Qi was speechless, Ying Qiu's face was also deeply locked with anxiety, although he heard it, Ying Qiu could also imagine it.
Lin Qi diverted the topic and asked, "Don't talk about it, you first say the meaning of your name." ”
Ghost Venerable also calmed down and said through the Purple Immortal Clan: "Now you also understand the existence of the Purple Immortal Clan, and my name Ghost Venerable in the Purple Immortal Clan is my identity in the clan on the bright side. ”
"Ghost Venerable, on the same level as the other double venerables, is the three great god venerables of the Purple Hades clan. My Ghost Venerable identity leads his ghost-faced army, which is one of the three pillars. ”
"And the reason why I can't use my real name is related to my original name, haven't you been wondering about your mother since you were a child?"
"When I mentioned my mother when I was a child, my father was sad and silent, so I didn't ask again since I was a child. Lin Qi listened to the news of his mother, and his heart became nervous.
Ghost Venerable continued: "My real name is Lin Jian'an, and I am an ordinary member of the Purple Immortal Clan. It's just that after I awakened the purple vein, I was gifted, and I cultivated to the Yuan Infant cultivation at a young age. At that time, I was famous in the clan, and even won the favor of the Holy Maiden, who was the daughter of the emperor of the clan, and he was also the pearl of the Emperor of the Underworld, and had many suitors, her name was Emperor Yinrong. ”
Ghost Venerable said with a look of remembrance in his eyes, and at the same time, the endless sadness became more and more obvious.
"My mother's name, Diyinrong. ”
Lin Qi read silently, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, as if he had found something he had lost.
"I don't know how I, a person of ordinary birth, got the favor of the saint. Maybe this is fate in the dark, but this fate is difficult. Although I am young and promising, my identity has always been too ordinary, and my love with your mother has been hindered by many difficulties. ”
Onizun said as if immersed in those memories, and a smile appeared on his face, which was a smile that a father rarely had.
"But the two of us have already made up our minds, and as soon as we were excited, we came up with the decision to escape from the Purple Hades and live an ordinary life outside. ”
"Now that I think about it, I really had no scruples back then. As the ghost venerable spoke, a tear of longing crossed his face.
Ying Qiu, who listened to this past, was also immersed in this rebellious relationship, and subconsciously Ying Qiu grabbed Lin Qi's arm and strengthened it by two points.
"It was also during this time that you came into this world, and it was the happiest years of my life. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, your mother has always been the holy daughter of the Purple Hades clan, and under the advocacy of the conservatives in the clan, the Hades Emperor led a group of Purple Hades to find your mother. ”
"Moreover, they advocated the killing of me, a member of the rebel tribe. Similarly, the clan doesn't know about your birth, so your mother doesn't want you to get involved in the internal strife of the Purple Hades Clan, nor does she want you to step into the path of cultivation and get involved in the rights and wrongs, she just wants you to be an ordinary person and spend a peaceful life.
"So after the final confrontation, your mother forced her to die to save me and you in the house. Unexpectedly, a few elders with a conservative attitude in the chaos were too radical, which led to an accident. ”
Speaking of this, the ghost venerable was silent for a long time, the sadness in his eyes turned into autumn frost, and the tears of remorse were left unconsciously.
Lin Qi was also shocked, he clenched his fists quietly, and his voice was hoarse and choked.
Ying Qiu was equally sad, she stroked Lin Qi's back and comforted Lin Qi.
"In the end, the angry Emperor killed the radicals, and I, who was also to blame, deserved to die. But the Emperor didn't kill me, because I was the last person her daughter cared about, and it was also her daughter's wish. I'm not dead, but the name Lin Jian'an is dead. ”
After that, there was no Lin Jian'an in the world, there was only one incarnation, a pseudonym, Lin Wu. ”
Lin Qi pondered all of this, and at the same time his heart was shocked, he asked, "That Hades Emperor, that is, my grandfather, he doesn't know my existence. ”
"I don't know, it's just that the plan was launched a few years ago, and we who were also preparing to participate in the suppression of bandits were injured by the bandits' poison. At that time, I had been a mortal for a long time, and I was enslaved by them without any power, but I met the Purple Hades who came to find me halfway. They took me, and I was determined to do so or you would be exposed to the Purple Hades. ”
"According to your mother's idea, it is best to be an ordinary person in a lifetime, because once you return to the clan, you will be the only grandson of the Emperor of Hades, and the Emperor will definitely give you the name of Emperor and become his successor. It's a pity that your immortal fate is too deep, but the result still makes you find the way to become an immortal. ”
All the reasons, all the concealment, the secret of his father's disappearance after which day, Lin Qi knew all at this moment.
It's all for the sake of ordinary lives, all for himself not to get involved in this right and wrong, Lin Qiran may really be as his mother said, it is best to be an ordinary person, and it is best to be an ignorant person.
Ying Qiu on the side couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Lin Qi's true identity, she knew that this was a big secret, and she was also determined to bring this secret to another world.
After saying everything, the ghost venerable raised the family heirloom sword on the stone table.
"It's time to choose, two paths. As soon as you follow me back, you will become the holy son of the Purple Hades Clan, and as the next generation of Hades Emperor, you will lead the Purple Hades to glory in the world. ”
"Second, go back to your door, be an ordinary monk, and live well in this catastrophe. With this beautiful girl, for my Lin family, continue. ”
