Chapter 385: Rejoicing and Feasting Guests
Outside the Shenxiao Sect, on the Hidden Dragon Peak.
Since half a month ago, the top and bottom of the Long clan have been beaming, and the servants have been sweeping dust, pruning the garden, and putting up lanterns under the command of various stewards, preparing for the Chengdan celebration of Long Gaochen and Long Gaohan.
The Long family has produced many talents over the years, first Long Zheng has achieved the Great Dan, and this year there are two young masters who have successively cast the Dao Foundation.
The ancestor of the family was very happy and prepared to celebrate as usual.
Especially now that the entire cultivation world is not at peace, I just took this opportunity to meet with the people of other cultivation families to plan together to deal with the increasingly chaotic situation.
It's just that these servants don't know that Long Lingyuan, the patriarch of the Long Clan, is now suppressing his anger and discussing something with the core figures of the current Long Clan in a stone room.
"First of all, the soul lamp of Taiclumsy was extinguished nine days ago, and then the shops in the eleven cultivation workshop cities were ransacked, but all the children of my Long clan suffered accidents.
After careful calculation, more than 40 clansmen have been killed.
And so far, we don't even know who the opponent is.
Yesterday, I went to see the ancestor of Kongyun with this old face, and the ancestor ordered that within two days, I must find out who is doing the ghost, otherwise my position as patriarch will be abolished.
I am now ready to step down as the patriarch, but I don't know who here wants to take over? ”
Long Lingyuan leaned on the back of the chair and relaxed, his eyes were gloomy, and he swept over the faces of the clansmen present one by one.
Including Long Linghua, Long Taihong, Long Taiyue, Long Huanlou, Long Huanzang, etc., a total of nine members of the Chengdan period of the Long clan in the secret room looked away, and no one dared to look at them.
Although some people here have been watching the position of the patriarch for a long time, now is not a good time, so no one wants to jump out and die.
Long Linghua coughed lightly and spoke out slowly to dissolve the embarrassing and tense atmosphere in front of him:
"What do you say about the patriarch, you have worked hard as the patriarch for many years, and the contributions you have made are obvious to all.
Since the other party dares to do this so blatantly.
I'm afraid that the plot is not small, and it is not good.
At such a critical juncture, an experienced pillar of the sea like the patriarch was needed to be in the middle of the strategy.
Who dares to cause trouble for the patriarch at this time, the old man is the first to refuse. ”
After speaking, he glanced at the people in the house with a sharp gaze.
The other Dragon Clan members forced a smile on their faces and agreed one after another.
Long Taihong, who was sitting on the right, was a little irritated and left several other clansmen behind, and shouted loudly:
"Patriarch, don't worry about it, it's important how we should deal with this. ”
"yes, yes!"
"Patriarch, the other party is so vicious, if you don't break it into thousands of pieces and light it up, then no one will dare to touch my Dragon Clan's tiger whiskers in the future.
I suggest that the Ancestor personally take action, no matter who it is, he must be killed strongly!"
......
Long Lingyuan raised his hand a little weakly and pressed it weakly, stopping everyone's words, but in his heart was even more heartache of Long Tai's clumsiness.
In his heart, Long Taiclumsy was calculating and thoughtful, and he was really the best candidate for the next patriarch, but now he was separated from life and death.
The cultivation of these people here is good, but their brains are really touching.
What kind of bad idea did you hear? Let Lao Zu take action himself? I can't even figure out who the opponent is, how can I ask Lao Zu? Let Lao Zu search by himself?
Thinking of this, Long Lingyuan stopped his thoughts, for fear that he would not be able to control his emotions.
"Since everyone still recognizes me as the patriarch.
Then I say, listen well, and execute it immediately after the meeting!"
Long Lingyuan slowly straightened his body, his eyes swept around and continued:
"Pass on my order to stop all the industries in various places, whether it is the shops in the market or the collection and purchase of spiritual materials in the mines;
Let all the children of the family return to Yinlong Peak, and the peripheral personnel will rest for a while, and you will take the lead, with three Chengdan period real people as a group, and lead the family guards to welcome the return of the core children from all over the world.
Elder Linghua, you personally come forward to contact other families, as well as various monk organizations to find out the news, if you really can't do it, find a professional wind media, be sure to find out who the opponent is, what is the purpose, if it is possible, contact the other party first. ”
The other members of the Long clan responded one after another, but they heard Long Taihong say angrily:
"Contact each other?Patriarch, so many clansmen have been killed, and you still want to contact each other?"
Long Lingyuan resisted the urge to scold, and still patiently explained:
"How can such a great revenge not be avenged? But it is not even clear who the opponent is, what the purpose is, and how can he take revenge?
In addition, only when we know the strength of the opponent can we plan and then act!"
......
When everyone dispersed, Long Lingyuan came to the back peak, where there was a passage leading directly to the belly of the mountain, and inside was the real secret place of the Long clan.
In a stone room in the belly of the mountain, at this moment, there is a monk wearing a black robe, his figure hidden in the darkness, sitting cross-legged, the qi outside his body is strong and weak, as if he is practicing.
Suddenly, the awakening bell in the stone chamber rang, and the black-robed monk opened his eyes, and the electric light inside it loomed, deep and clear.
"I still can't be liberated, and I still can't enter the primordial spirit.
Thief God, why can't you give me the news that the Taixu master and apprentice have died completely, so that I can rest assured?!"
The black-robed monk muttered to himself, it was the Taiwei Zhenren who escaped from the Scarlet Canyon that day.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the door of the stone chamber, Long Lingyuan slowly entered.
Taiwei Zhenren didn't get up, just looked at the patriarch of the family quietly.
"How? can I find the opportunity to enter the original god?"
Long Lingyuan smiled and greeted gently.
Taiwei Zhenren shook his head, but still did not speak.
Long Lingyuan was not annoyed, he found a futon and sat cross-legged, watching Taiwei Zhenren's face gradually deepen.
"Tell me honestly, when you came back from the Northern Heaven Centurion Continent, you really found an opportunity to enter the Yuan Shen, and not for other reasons?"
Taiwei Zhenren's eyes flashed, and he said sincerely:
"Yes, at that time, I did feel that I could enter the Yuan Shen at any time, so I secretly ran back.
It's just a temporary abandonment of the sect's mission, but it has caused a lot of inconvenience, so you have to worry about it, patriarch. ”
Long Lingyuan still looked at Taiwei Zhenren fixedly, and only said after a while:
"Temporarily abandon the sect's mission!
You're afraid you're on the verge of escape, aren't you?"
Taiwei Zhenren's expression was a little embarrassed, and he didn't defend himself.
Long Lingyuan's brows furrowed even deeper: "You have to tell the truth, apart from escaping, can you make any other moves, such as provoking any enemies?"
Taiwei Zhenren immediately laughed: "Patriarch, you are too careful, you know that I have never liked to go out and walk, and where can I provoke any enemies." ”
Long Lingyuan didn't answer, and for a while, there was a dead silence in the stone room.
"I hope so!"
After a long time, Long Lingyuan left this sentence and left.
Taiwei Zhenren's face seemed to think of something, and a trace of fear flashed on his face.
Then he shook his head, composing himself.
"I want to enter the Yuan Shen, only by advancing to the Yuan Shen can I get the attention of the sect and the family!"
......
A few days passed, and the children of the Long clan returned one after another.
The opponent seemed to have given up on the action and never shot again.
Long Gaochen and Long Gaohan's Chengdan ceremony was finally held, and the guests invited by the Long family came to congratulate them with gifts.
Long Taiyue is handsome, good at words, and sociable, and such celebrations have always been welcomed by him.
The red carpet in front of the main entrance of the "Hidden Dragon Peak" Long family is paved on the floor, and there are drums to welcome guests from time to time, and laughter echoes endlessly.
"The head of the family is here in person, my Long clan is not very honored, please inside, please inside!"
"I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Mingyu's deeds are becoming more and more profound, it seems that the Yuan Shen can be expected!"
"Ah, Huanrong's predecessors have already broken through to the Jindan realm, and it seems that the next time we meet, I will be able to match the 'Genshin Shinichi'. ”
......
As daylight progresses, so do the guests attending the banquet.
Long Taiyue was pondering whether it was time to turn the courtyard to participate in the banquet, when he suddenly saw a white-robed Taoist coming steadily on the bluestone-paved stone steps in front of him.
This person has white eyebrows and white beards, holds a whisk in his hand, has a charitable face, and looks at himself with a smile.
Feeling that the other party's qi was restrained, and it was not obvious at all, Long Taiyue thought about this person who was afraid that he would be a master overhaul.
"This senior is invited, I don't know if I came to my Long clan, but I came to participate in the Chengdan celebration of the younger generations in the clan?"
Long Taiyue clasped his fists and saluted, his tone respectful.
"Hehe, it is exactly, in addition to participating in the Chengdan celebration of the two juniors of your family, Poor Dao also has a major event to cooperate with your Long Clan. ”
The white-bearded old man made a joke, and his robe fluttered in the breeze, which added a bit of dust to it.
"I see, I don't know the name of the seniors, please go inside, drink a glass of spirit wine and then talk about it slowly?"
Today is the day of celebration for the Long Clan, no matter where this old way comes from and what its intentions are, but those who come are guests, go and sit down inside, and it is not too late to take care of it.
Long Taiyue thought about it for a while, and had a plan in his heart.
"Poor Dao Yuchen Daoist, guests are as they are pleased, and everything is arranged by Long Daoyou. The white-bearded Taoist stroked his beard, a smile on his face.
"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Yuchen.
It just so happened that all the guests had arrived, so I accompanied Brother Dao up the mountain. ”
"Good!"
Long Taiyue made a false gesture and said, "Brother Dao, please!"
Then he quietly gestured behind his back with the palm of his other hand, and a clever disciple of the Long Clan understood, and immediately ran towards the mountain from another passage.
For a strange visitor, how could the Long clan not be guarded at all?
Walking on the road, but seeing the spirit flowers blooming on both sides, bright and dazzling, the spirit fruits hung on the branches, exuding an attractive fragrance, Yuchen Daoist couldn't help but praise:
"The Long family is not a big family that has been inherited for many years, and even a flower and a grass are extraordinary, which is really profound. ”
Long Taiyue smiled modestly: "Brother Dao is smiling, they are all gadgets that can't be put on the table.
I don't know where my brother is practicing, how come I have never heard of the name of Brother Dao?"
Yuchen Daoist just smiled indifferently when he heard this:
"The poor road is perennial in the mountains, and I only like to recite the Yellow Garden, watch the sun and the moon flow, and feel the mystery of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the name has not been circulated. ”
Then the tone of the conversation changed: "Poor Dao heard that the noble Kongyun Ancestor is a powerful god, and now he can be at home?"
After the banquet, I can visit and talk about Xuanxuan Dao!"
