Chapter 43, The Truth of the Dead
In Lin Xing's narration, Lu Qianyu depicted a more concise and clear pattern of rivers and lakes, and he listened very carefully this time and did not miss a word.
Approximately, three hundred years ago. In the land of the Western Regions, the Demon Sect arose, invaded Middle-earth on a large scale, stained the martial arts with blood, killed all the way, and was arrogant. The martial arts people were careless and underestimated the enemy, fighting their own battles, and suffered heavy losses in the early stage, causing the Demon Sect to soon divide half of the martial arts and fight against the world. During this period, countless heroes went forward one after another and died at the hands of the Demon Sect, and many magnificent stories and legends emerged.
After that, the martial arts people, benevolent and righteous knights, formed alliances and held groups, and their fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high. They elected one of the strongest martial arts in the martial arts, named Ren Shengwu, to dominate the entire martial arts force. Later, he recommended ten highly respected and strong martial arts knights, who were the top ten heroes and assisted from the side.
Under the leadership of Ren Shengwu and the Ten Great Heroes, the Central Plains Martial Arts broke out in the most tragic battle ever.
After three years before and after the battle, the mountains and rivers wept and the stars fell. Many Jianghu sects have since disappeared, countless peerless exercises have disappeared, there are more orphans left in the world than seedlings, the parents of their dead sons cry miserably every night, and the wives whose husbands died in battle hanged themselves on crooked neck trees. The land of the Central Plains is full of devastation, and wild dogs can be seen everywhere eating the corpses.
In the end, the entire martial arts gathered unprecedented strength to fight the Western Regions Demon Sect and the Dongqiu Ancient City. The battle lasted for three days and three nights, with rivers of blood, corpses everywhere, and the Demon Cult was defeated, almost all of which were wiped out. The monarch and the human saint and the martial will die together. Only a small part of the Demon Sect escaped from the Central Plains in disguise, surviving in the barren land on the border of the Western Regions.
The Demon Sect Holy Weapon, the Yanhuang Order, was thus obtained by the Jianghu Alliance.
Legend has it that in the Yanhuang Order, there is a hidden peerless magic of the Demon Sect, which can be called the first in the world, and there is no one who can do it. It's just that once cultivated, he will have a cholera mind, incarnate a devil, and endanger the martial arts.
Later, there was a legendary craftsman who spent dozens of days breaking it and dividing it into ten, which was guarded by ten people.
Now, the descendants of the Demon Sect, after three hundred years of strength precipitation, have changed their appearance, calling themselves the Demon Flame Sect, making a comeback, occupying a large area of land in the northwest, and wanting to unite all the fragments into one, and then start a bloody rain.
Lin Xing went down the mountain this time, but Lin Yuchun heard that the Demon Yan Sect had lost a fragment, and asked him to come over and join in, casually looking for the clansmen of the top ten people, and secretly protecting the fragment of the Yanhuang Order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Demon Yan Sect.
Lin Xing followed the footsteps of the Demon Flame Sect all the way, came to Stone Town, spent money to buy a treasure grass hall, and started his old business, mainly to cover up his identity and wait for the opportunity to make a move. After all, he is also the heir of the Lin family of the top ten people, there is a fragment hidden in the family, there should be many people in the rivers and lakes who know about it, they have reached the point of madness in order to practice the magic skills of the Demon Sect, if they are entangled, it will be a great trouble.
Lin Xing's business depends on his mood, but unfortunately he met Hua Qiangui who asked for medical advice today, and he recognized this notorious old thief in the rivers and lakes at a glance, so he had a plan to do the right thing for heaven, but he never thought that he would let him escape in the end.
When Lin Xing finished saying this, Lu Qianyu had already opened the window again.
Outside, the sun was slowly setting, igniting the clouds on the horizon, and the roofs of the houses glowed red. The streets were suddenly crowded with people, the dried fruit vendors were cleaning the doors, the blacksmiths were missing children, and the pawnshops were the first to light a few dim candles.
"That's about it. Lin Xing stretched and said calmly, "And you mean that you don't know where the pieces of the house are hidden, right?"
Lu Qianyu was also thinking about this problem, he turned out all the effective memories of so many years, and thought about them one by one, but he didn't expect where the fragments could be hidden. Or rather, it doesn't exist at all.
Today's Lu family is not the same. It has been almost three hundred years since Lu Xinghe's generation.
Three hundred years of time, not long, not short, the sun and the stars do not move, the sea is fickle, enough to change the flow of the entire river, what is the fate of a family?
During this period, the ancestors of the Lu family did not know how many mountains they had climbed with their soft families, how many rainy nights they had walked through, and how many mansions they had established.
It was only in Lu Qianyu's grandfather's generation that the Lu family settled down and settled in Linzhou City. Maybe the fragments have been lost somewhere.
"As long as you can't find the fragments, won't the Demon Flame Sect give up?" Lu Qianyu said.
"That's why they're here, and it's said they've mastered two pieces!" Lin Xing said
"Where did they get it from?" Lu Qianyu has been spinning faster than other children since he was a child, although he doesn't listen very seriously, it doesn't mean that he lacks imagination.
What he meant was that since the fragments were hidden in the hands of the Ten Great Families, if the Demon Flame Sect wanted to obtain the fragments, it would inevitably start with the Ten Great Families. They were able to obtain two of the fragments, they couldn't have been sent by the Ten Families, right?
"I don't know where it came from. The other piece is said to be from Laizhou!" Lin Xing said.
"Did these two families fall to Demon Flame, or...?" Lu Qianyu guessed, and then a terrible word flashed in his head, "What did you just say, Laizhou?"
"The heirs of the top ten heroes, no matter how bad they are, will only degenerate in martial arts. They don't lose on the backbone, you think too much. Lin Xing sneered.
"I would like to hear more about Laizhou. Lu Qianyu asked with a pair of eyes, looking very scary, Lin Xing didn't know why, and her heart was full of doubts.
"In the city of Laizhou. The Demon Flame Sect slaughtered a martial arts family surnamed Kong and obtained a fragment. ”
"The Kong family, is it also one of the top ten families?"
"No, it's not good. Lin Xing shook her head and sighed: "This surname Kong, according to my grandfather's memory, is not one of the top ten families. Or maybe you can change your name and surname. In short, the ten major families, after the changes of the years, have long been unrecognizable, and even my grandfather does not know where they are. If you want to find the truth, I am afraid that you have to consult a lot of ancient books about history. That's what I'm doing now. After speaking, Lin Xingyang raised the yellow booklet in his hand, thinking about it, it was a classic book that described the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
"My father and mother died in Laizhou. Lu Qianyu said lightly.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Lin Xing was taken aback and opened her mouth wide, "Could it be that your parents also died in the dispute in Laizhou?"
Yes, when he heard the word Laizhou, Lu Qianyu's brain also exploded with a bang, and then the memories came like a torrential rain.
He clearly remembered that he had asked Shi Weng about his father and mother. Sixteen years ago, they never returned, and their location is unknown, and then the broken sword Guhan was found under the ruins of Laizhou. It was the heirloom sword that Lu Ming carried with him, and the fire burned the corpse to ashes, but it was enough to show that Lu Qianyu's father and mother had an accident.
Lu Qianyu linked the guess in his heart with Lin Xing's words, and it was not difficult to speculate that his parents were very likely to die in the attack of the Demon Yan Sect on the Kong family in Laizhou. He still needs to confirm one more thing.
"When did that fight take place?"
"Sixteen years ago!" Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"That can't be wrong. Lu Qianyu smiled bitterly, a white mist appeared in his brain, and his whole body seemed to become lighter.
This suspense, which has been backlogged in my heart for 16 years, finally saw the light of day today, and the answer was found.
The enemy who killed Lu Qianyu's parents was the Demon Yan Sect!
It's been sixteen years! People who meditate day and night, like the moon hanging in the nine heavens, looking at each other through a distant sky, never able to hug!
How many days and nights did Lu Qianyu sleep with sadness on his pillow?
In my dreams, how many times have I experienced it, and the despair of not being able to catch Wen Cun?
The twilight clouds become rain, and the white horse passes through the gap. Who knows, the empty grave, the lonely tomb, is only buried with a few pieces of clothes from my father and mother.
Lu Qianyu, An Nai couldn't help but think, why did the rivers and lakes play tricks on themselves, in order to protect a broken piece, they let their parents lose their lives in vain?
He sank into his chair in a daze, not wanting to say a word.
"Brother Lu!" Lin Xing stepped forward to comfort him, he stretched out his hand and hung in the air, a little cramped and uneasy, at a loss, not knowing where to start, and what to say, "I can understand your feelings! The ancestors have gone, as if the flowers fell last night, turned into the soil under the seedlings, and we should be proud to bloom today!"
"Could it be that these rivers and lakes are really so annoying?" Lu Qianyu suddenly cheered up after learning from the pain. I had no intention of fighting for the bright moon, but unexpectedly, the dark clouds annoyed me, and Lu Qianyu firmly established his goal, that is, to slash the enemy and wash away the humiliation for the Lu family.
"You want to be hot, and you have to have a cold wind. You are quiet, and there are cicadas. You want to go, it's raining, you want to hear, the thunder is urgent. As soon as I entered the rivers and lakes, I couldn't help myself!" Lin Xing smiled miserably: "Brother Lu, you and I have one surname Lin and the other surname Lu." I look at what kind of surname it is, it is clearly doomed, as long as the blood on the body is still flowing, then don't think about escaping this reincarnation!"
Subsequently, Lin Xing explained to Lu Qianyu in detail his understanding of the Demon Yan Sect at this stage.
The Demon Flame Sect, now, has tens of thousands of sect disciples, from Xiaoxian to the peak, all the way to the Central Plains, in recent years, the development speed is extremely rapid.
The main forces of the sect are distributed among the five banners, which are: black, white, red, yellow, and green.
The three major apologetic kings, each with strong strength, are the King of Shura, the King of the Broken Army, and the King of the Qilin. It is rumored that the King of the Broken Army has been missing for many years, the King of Qilin is hidden, and the rivers and lakes know very little, so it is extremely mysterious.
Above, the monarch of the sect is named Qiu Lingyun. His martial arts are unfathomable, and his swordsmanship is lonely and defeated, and he can no longer be compared to mortals.
In addition, in the rivers and lakes, the Demon Flame Sect also set up many strongholds, and many people in the rivers and lakes worked hard for it.
In the end, Lin Xing summed it up, "This Demon Flame Sect is in a rapid stage of development. If it is not contained, I am afraid that we will repeat the mistake of 300 years and spilled blood in Dongqiu!"
Lu Qianyu had previously learned a little about the Demon Flame Sect from the old knife, and with the more detailed content provided by Lin Xing, he had a more accurate understanding of the strength of the Demon Flame Sect.
Facing the enormity of the Demon Flame Sect, he felt like a weed standing under a towering tree, and he didn't even have the qualifications to float and shake the tree.
Knock knock...
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the herb shop.
