Chapter 412: Old Stories of the Gu Sect (3)
The west city of the Acropolis is inhabited by all kinds of people, and Zhao Yan mixes in it, perfectly substituting himself into the role of a street merchant. Every day, I get up early and feel dark, walk through the streets and alleys, pass through villages and towns, and peddle live animals, so happy.
There is a stout willow tree at the mouth of an alley in Xicheng, and there are several elderly aunts and uncles under the willow tree, carrying small horses and sitting under the tree. Zhao Yan's home is in this alley called Liu Xiang.
"Aunt Wang, Uncle Li. Zhao Yan greeted the people under the tree in a loud voice.
"Xiao Zhao is back. β
"Yan Boy is back. β
"Sold out? Oh, there's a customer. β
A group of uncles and aunts responded to Zhao Yan's greeting.
"Yes, distant relative. I'll go back first. Zhao Yan greeted everyone with a smile.
Yun Ci also smiled and greeted those old people. The smile on Yun Ci's face came from the heart, and she also wanted to live such a life. Lively and peaceful.
Zhao Yan's home is a very conventional house, with a small yard, and the small yard is covered with stone slabs by Zhao Yan, and it is clean.
The house consisted of four rooms, and the westernmost room was his warehouse, which was stacked with all kinds of goods. The easternmost one is Zhao Yan's bedroom, that's all. The other rooms were empty. I don't know how to cook, I always go out to eat when I want to.
But fortunately, there was still an empty room for discussions, so Zhao Yan led Yun Ci and a few people to a room in the middle, and took out some chairs from his storage space for a few people to sit on.
"Hey, I don't usually have people at home, so I don't have so many tables and chairs. Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed, and it was dusty if he put it too much, so he didn't put it down.
It didn't matter how many people Yun Ci had, so he sat in a circle. Then Yunshang felt that there was still something missing, so he took out a small stove, thought about it, and added a small table. Then he took out a teapot, a tea tray, and a box of snacks. Forced these things in the middle, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Sister, come, drink tea and eat snacks. Yun Sheng noticed that Yun Ci, who brought a chair to give her a painful space, had a different look in her eyes, and flattered Yun Ci with a piece of dim sum and a cup of tea.
Yun Ci rolled his eyes and ignored her, but he was not polite at all, and poured himself tea, and Zhao Yan, who took the snack, said three words: "Young Sect Master?"
Zhao Yan's hands trembled, and he resumed his daily routine in the blink of an eye, and covered it up with the action of eating snacks. But this small action did not escape the eyes of Yun Ci and Jiang Yu. Zhao Yan himself may have found out, and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to find out." So, what are you going to do with me?"
"Didn't want to dispose of you. Yun Ci frowned, Zhao Yan seemed to be thinking too much. So he glanced at Jiang Yu and gave Jiang Yu the right to speak.
"Do you know about the demons?" Jiang Yu didn't answer, but asked Zhao Yan.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yan looked puzzled, he had really integrated himself into mortal life. Of course, I will still practice when I have nothing to do. And in the past ten years of living like this, I have gained a lot, of course, the realm cannot be compared with Yun Ci and Jiang Yu.
But he really doesn't know what's going on with the demons, aren't those things sealed? His ancestors still contributed back then, and to be honest, he didn't even know where the demons were.
"The demons have broken the seal. Then we found out something that might be related to your sect. So ask someone and then confirm your identity. Jiang Yu explained the cause of the incident to Zhao Yan.
However, Zhao Yan heard a different meaning: "So, you have already guessed that I am from the Gu Sect?" Therefore, I didn't want to trouble him. If you want to look for it, you will find it a long time ago.
"Pretty much. Jiang Yu smiled.
Zhao Yan also smiled relaxedly: "Then how did you confirm my identity?"
So Jiang Yu told Zhao Yan about Aunt Meng: "We happened to meet a female disciple of the Gu Sect in Linhai City, whose name is Bai Zhen. β
"Bai Zhen, she's still alive! Where is she in Linhai City?" Zhao Yan was a little excited, and her expression was exactly the same as Aunt Meng who heard that Zhao Yan was still alive.
Jiang Yu naturally did not hesitate to tell him.
"Whatever you want to ask, I will know everything, and I will say everything. Zhao Yan happily made a guarantee. It's nice that old acquaintances are still alive.
"How was your sect destroyed in the first place?" Jiang Yu replaced the destruction with a ruined one.
Zhao Yan didn't expect to ask this as soon as he came up, remembering the bloody wind and rain of the year, he was slightly distracted. No one urged him, waiting for his adjustment, waiting for him to speak.
"Back then, it wasn't too sudden. The sect has long been divided into two factions, one faction insists on practicing ancestral techniques, which is headed by my father, thinking that it is enough to learn the Gu techniques left by the ancestors.
The other faction thinks that our Gu Sect relies too much on Gu, and we should learn some side spells, or contract some demon beasts to protect ourselves, after all, it will take some time to summon Gu worms, and during this time, it is easy to be exploited by the other party, this faction is headed by the original Great Elder of the Gu Sect. β
In fact, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Yan found that the things he had thought about countless times were not so difficult to tell.
The eyes of the contract demon beast, Ming Huazong, and Yun Ci suddenly became sharp. Isn't there still a matter of Minghua Sect here?
I only heard Zhao Yan continue to recall: "Everyone in the world knows that Minghua Sect is good at controlling beasts, so those people who want to contract demon beasts to increase their strength left Gu Sect and went to Minghua Sect, hoping to learn the exercises of Minghua Sect." Speaking of this, Zhao Yan squeezed out a wry smile, and raised his eyes embarrassedly to see the reaction of Yun Ci and the others.
"It's naΓ―ve, it's stupid, isn't it? How could the exercises of the Ming Hua Sect be passed on to outsiders casually. So those people directly switched to the disciples of Minghua Sect. β
It turns out that there is really something about Minghuazong. Yun Ci lowered her eyebrows, she remembered what happened in the ancient tomb.
"How can our disciples of the Gu Sect go to the Minghua Sect, my father, well, even the sect master will go to the Minghua Sect, if people don't come back, my father will have to withdraw their Gu techniques. But also wounded. When Zhao Yan said this, his eyes were already full of tears. Although it has been a long, long time, it is always so painful to think about blood relatives. If it weren't for the fact that my father was injured, how could he have no power to fight back later.
Just one sentence, but it was enough to imagine what a price the sect master of the Gu Sect had paid.
"Minghua Sect is really shameless, all sects and sects have never taken away other people's disciples. If they go, will Minghuazong accept it?" Yunshang was indignant, it was really a long time to see, what is the matter!
"What if it was discussed from the beginning?" Zhao Yan asked rhetorically, "I also figured it out later, maybe the Great Elder line was originally sent by the Minghua Sect." Come to my Gu Sect to steal art, and when I go back, I will take away half of the Gu Sect's elite. β
