When the patriarch heard that the six-winged lizard was dead, his original nervousness immediately turned into excitement, and his previous sadness was swept away, and he turned his face to look at Lino and urged, "Tell me what happened down there." ”

Lino briefly recounted what had happened in the Six-winged Lizard Cave Mansion (qíng).

When the patriarch heard this, he let out a long breath, as if he had put down the golden stone on his shoulder.

Then he got up (shēn) and bowed to Luo Yanshen to express his gratitude.

Luo Yan was a little unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "It seems that the patriarch knows about the inner (qíng), so why do you continue to give it away?"

The patriarch smiled miserably when he heard this, then returned to his place, sat down slowly with his hands on the case, bowed his head and said:

"What if you know, what if you don't know? Knowing is more painful than not knowing. ”

There was sadness and pain in his voice, so Luo Yan couldn't say anything for a while.

The patriarch looked out as if he had fallen into a painful memory, and after a long time, he spoke again in grief:

"A hundred years ago, when I had just broken through the early stage of the transformation of gods, on a whim, relying on my cultivation to be higher than others, I quietly dived to the bottom of the river to see what it was like underneath, and found a hole (xué) underneath. ”

"I thought I could get treasures after entering, but I came to a cave on the water and saw Mo Lingyun and them being humiliated from a distance.

Faced with a demon beast whose cultivation was much higher than mine, I didn't dare to rush out to save people, I didn't even dare to scream, and I didn't even know how I returned to the river later. ”

"After that, I began to look everywhere for people with advanced cultivation, and finally I met a monk in the merger period, and promised to give him a lot of money to help me get rid of this evil animal.

That day, I drove the dragon boat alone and stopped on the river, but what I was waiting for was the six-winged lizard that had turned into a human form. ”

He threw the man's head at me, and threatened that if anyone disturbed him in the future, he would destroy my whole people.

You say, my clan has a population of tens of thousands, and the highest realm is only a cultivator like me in the early stage of the transformation of a god, how can I defeat him, and if I don't do what he wants, what can I do? Even if I tell my clan about this, what can they do?

Our every move is under his watch, and I can't let the whole clan go to the funeral!

Therefore, I can only continue to secretly look for the monks of the Mahayana period to see if I can help my clan deal with that demon beast, which is why I quietly arranged for the male (xìng) of the clan to leave. ”

"But a hundred years have passed, and we have not found a helper in the Mahayana period, and the sacrificial ceremony has to be carried out according to his wishes, so Lino has become this unfortunate person. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Lino and said, "Do you remember the sentence I said to you that you are one person (shēn) to change the peace of the clan for a hundred years?"

Lino nodded and said, "It was the day after I was chosen to be a saint, and you came to our house to say it in person, and we didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time. ”

Luo Yan raised his hand and took out the head of the six-winged lizard and put it on the stone table, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" Mo Lingyun, Golden Bird and the other women are still waiting for your news below?"

The patriarch looked at the disgusted head, and after a long time, said: "The people of this demon beast have all seen it, and in their minds, this is a god-like existence, if we are direct

Making the news public would be tantamount to destroying their Dao Hearts, so I suggest that a few of the elders in charge of this matter be known.

As for Mo Lingyun and the others, if they return to the clan now, it will definitely arouse suspicion, so it is better to wait for them to reach the merger period before coming back, and during this time, they can let them travel to other places first.

In addition, I am no longer worthy of the position of patriarch, and I suggest that Linuo's father, Elder Qi Yang, take the position, and I will find a suitable opportunity to announce to everyone that Chan has ceased to him. ”

After saying the words in his heart completely, the Tay River Patriarch lowered his head, put it on the table, and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry everyone, I am a sinner of the Tay River Clan. ”

After hearing this, although Luo Yan and the three of them felt that Linuo and Mo Lingyun could not return to the clan for the time being, which made people feel a little angry, but if they thought about it carefully, what the patriarch said was not reasonable.

In the end, Luo Yan said: "In this case, you don't have to blame yourself too much, now notify those elders, as well as the relatives or masters of these women, let them go and meet their children together, and then how to arrange, you can discuss it yourself." ”

The patriarch immediately replied, "Everything will be done according to the wishes of the Daoist." ”

After everyone finished discussing, Lino changed into a disguise again, and Luo Yan waved his hand to remove the (jìn) system.

The patriarch sent an edict to inform the main elders and the relatives or masters of Mo Lingyun, Jinque and others.

An hour later, twenty or thirty people were gathered in the hall, and when the patriarch saw that they had arrived, he announced:

"I got a secret report that there are several little demons in the river, endangering the monks on the shore, so I am ready to lead everyone to the river with me to eliminate the evil, and I hope everyone will work together to contribute to the long-term development of our clan. ”

After hearing this, everyone was gearing up and impassioned.

Luo Yan looked at them and said, "Since everyone is willing, let me take everyone there." ”

After speaking, he waved the sleeves of his robe and led everyone to the river in the night.

During the journey, when I met the clansmen, they all said that they were going to destroy the river demon, so it didn't attract too much attention, after all, this kind of thing (qíng) still happens from time to time.

After entering the water, under the leadership of Luo Yan, everyone walked through the cave (xué) and came to the cave under the mountain and above the water.

When everyone saw the departed saints of the previous sacrifices, they all showed doubts about the god (qíng), and they all looked at the patriarch with surprised eyes.

The patriarch of the Taihe tribe walked up to everyone and told the people present what had happened (qíng), and finally explained why he couldn't make public the relationship at this time.

When everyone heard this, several elders fell into deep thought, and the relatives or masters of these women hugged them and wept bitterly.

Luo Yan and Hua Chen stood behind everyone (shēn), silently watching the situation in front of them, and their hearts were also sad.

After a long time, everyone knelt down in front of Luo Yan again, expressing their gratitude.

After returning the salute, Luo Yan said: "You don't have to see outside, now that you have understood the details (qíng), don't do stupid things after (rì)." ”

The patriarch continued: "There is another purpose for calling everyone here, which is to discuss, how to settle these saints sent by our clan in the future?"

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss what you said and what I said.

Some say that they should be taken back to the clan, they have been tortured for thousands of years for the sake of their people, and we cannot leave them alone;

some

said that it was necessary to focus on the overall situation, if the Dao heart of the entire clan was destroyed, it would be a disaster for the Taihe clan;

Some said that it was better to let them stay here, send people from the clan to send supplies every once in a while, and then return to the clan when their cultivation broke through to the merger period.

In short, there are various opinions, and it is difficult for the patriarch to reach a conclusion for a while.

Luo Yan had already put away the puppet and the Tongtian Golden Yan Beast at this time, and retreated to the corner of the cave with Hua Chen, just listening to their discussions and not expressing his own opinions.

After Lino and her father got together, listening to everyone's discussion, she was also worried, and finally she came to Luo Yan (shēn) and asked, "After this incident, where do you plan to go?"

Luo Yan replied: "I was originally going to the Zhenhui Continent, and I saw the sky lantern raised by your clan here, and I landed down with curiosity, and then I saw you again on the dragon boat by the river, and saw that your qi veins were blocked and fell into the river at that time, and I followed it for fear of an accident." So after that, I will continue to travel to the True Emblem Continent. ”

Linuo said: "In this case, can Luo Gongzi take him to the True Hui Continent with him?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and replied: "Since Fairy Linuo is willing to go with Mubei, of course I can't ask for it." ”

Linuo smiled when she heard this, and said gratefully: "Then there will be Lao Mugongzi to take care of it again." After saying that, he remembered the previous situation (qíng), and two red clouds suddenly flew on his face.

She lowered her head and was silent for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Is it possible for Luo Gongzi to go to the spirit boat here?"

Luo Yan understood that she was probing her own opinions for several other women.

If you think about it carefully, if these women whose cultivation is not the highest is only in the late Yuan Infant period, if they can't return to the clan, how can they survive in this deserted place full of demon beasts?

Even if you stay under this water, there is no one to guide you, it is like going to prison, how can you raise your cultivation to the merger stage?

Since you've saved them, let's help them again.

After thinking clearly, he replied: "You don't have to be so careful to talk to me, if they wish, I can take them with me, and if there is danger on the way, I can only say that I will do my best, and I dare not say what the result will be."

In addition, if I can reach the Zhenhui Continent, I still have important things to do, so it will be difficult to accompany them anymore. ”

After hearing this, Lino thanked him again, and then walked to the middle of the crowd and relayed Luo Yan's meaning to the holy women.

After hearing this, they felt that this was also the best result so far, so they all said that they wanted to leave this place with Luo Yan.

Although their relatives were reluctant to give up, they couldn't think of a better way, and finally reluctantly accepted the pain of being separated again.

At parting, they took off the storage rings in their hands and stuffed them into the hands of the saints, and then inevitably wept again.

Linuo's father was in tears, holding her hand for a long time, Mo Lingyun's mother couldn't cry anymore, holding her and constantly blaming herself.

It was Mo Lingyun, although he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but he still endured his sadness, gently patted his mother's back, and comforted her.

After shedding tears and saying goodbye, the people who came left again under the leadership of the patriarch.

Half an hour later, Luo Yan also took the women to board his Dragon Bird Flying Boat, left the Taihe Clan station under the guidance of Hua Chen, and continued to fly towards the Zhenhui Continent.
