Chapter 244: The Mystery of the Bai Family's Decline

Walking along the barren mountain, there are many abandoned sects in this area, and the internal facilities are still new, not like they have been abandoned for a long time, and they should have moved out a year ago because of the appearance of the barren mountain.

Although it is on the periphery, it can still be affected by the breath of desolation, there is no grass in a hundred miles, and none of the flowers, birds, fish and insects are visible, just like the beginning of the world, without any signs of life.

Once Longling gathered the aura of heaven and earth, seized the heavens and the earth, and made many people yearn for it to build a sect here, but now it has become a death Jedi, everyone has begun to stay away, and there are only a few ancient forces that are unwilling to move their ancestral roots.

Among them, this is the case with the Bai family.

The existence of the sword mound restrains the fate of this ancient family, which is something they have guarded for generations, even if they endure the erosion of the desolate qi, they cannot abandon it. It is precisely because of this that Li Yunchen and the others can recognize at a glance that in this deserted area, there is a huge family, which must be the Bai family.

After walking in, Li Yunchen found that there were white cloths everywhere, and everyone was wearing mourning clothes. After some investigation, I learned that the funeral was being held for the head of the Bai family and the son of the Bai family, and the two pillars of the Bai family were lost at once, and everyone was saddened, which was another devastating blow to the already decaying Gu family.

"It seems that it will not be long before the Bai family disappears from the Western Regions. Xia Shuixian lamented that once upon a time, the Bai family was also a powerful force in the Western Regions, but now it has fallen into such a field.

Continue to walk inward, and then arrived at the mourning hall, only to see a woman kneeling on the ground, bowing to the tablet, and seeing Li Yunchen and the three of them coming, they slowly got up.

"Are you my brother's old friends?" the woman was dressed in a white mourning dress, her eyes were red, and her spirit was extremely poor, and it could be seen that she had been washing her face with tears these days.

The brother in her mouth should be Bai Cheng, Li Yunchen thought about it, and said: "When we were in Jiuyao City, we had a few encounters with Bai Gongzi, and today we passed by here and learned the news of Brother Bai's death, and we were very sad, so I wanted to come in and offer incense to comfort his spirit in the sky." ”

When he said these words, Li Yunchen himself felt that the fake was ridiculous, Bai Chengcheng was killed by his own hands, and it was not a pity for this kind of scum to die.

"A few people are really hearted, Qianru is grateful!" The woman's voice was hoarse because of excessive sadness, her name was Bai Qianru, she was Bai Mingfeng's daughter, and Bai Cheng's sister.

Similarly, Bai Qianru's skin is like snow, she is beautiful and handsome, and she is kind-hearted, and she is warmly welcomed after Li Yunchen and others worship.

Unexpectedly, Bai Cheng was despicable and shameless, but his sister was simple and innocent, Li Yunchen's impression of the Bai family began to change, and the people of the Bai family were not necessarily sinister and cunning.

"By the way, Miss Bai, I have heard Bai Gongzi mention that your Bai family was extremely prosperous and prosperous, but it suddenly declined at the end of antiquity, and it seems to be related to some kind of sword soul that you have guarded for generations, can you tell us in detail. After establishing a good feeling, Li Yunchen began to pick out topics.

Bai Qianru's pink lips moved slightly, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed, just recovering some of her spirits and feeling haggard.

Li Yunchen continued: "I know it's not good to mention this matter at this time, but we have no other intentions, we just want to help, the Bai family has been plagued by sword souls, maybe we can find a way to solve it." ”

Bai Qianru was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "This is the secret of our Bai family, and it is not passed on to the outside world, but since the three of them are old friends of my brother, it doesn't matter." After a sigh, Bai Qianru began to tell the story of the family, which had to go back to 100,000 years ago.

At the end of antiquity, the times changed, and Shenzhou ushered in a prosperous era, because of the death of the Demon Emperor, the avenue of heaven and earth changed drastically, and many people took an amazing step: the Demon Emperor was born, and the emperors of all ethnic groups appeared one after another, and many geniuses took this opportunity to continue to break through, and so far many have become strong men who dominate one side.

Bai Yunhe, the ancestor of the Bai family, was also one of them at that time, and with his supreme cultivation talent, he reached the last weight of the purgatory realm in less than ten years, only one step away from the Great Emperor.

However, that step was a hundred times more difficult than he imagined, and no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to break through, and after a hundred years and thousands of years, he still did not break out of the emperor realm, except for the internal force and the soul became stronger, there was no other change.

Gradually, Bai Yunhe lost his confidence and was no longer attached, and soon married a wife who was as beautiful as a flower, and established the Bai family in the southern part of the Western Regions.

Everything was very peaceful, until one day, a master came to Longling and handed over an unknown sword soul to the Bai family for trusteeship, and the tragedy began at that moment.

This sword soul is extremely powerful, and that master chose the Bai family because of his relationship with Long Ling, he can borrow the aura of this divine vein to purify it. Bai Yunhe also gladly accepted it, with this sword soul in charge, the Bai family would be even stronger, and the deterrent power would be greatly improved.

Just in case, the master also opened a cave in the mountain behind the Bai family, hid the sword soul in it, and found countless swords to put in the cave to form a sword enchantment to suppress the sword soul, so that cave, also known as the sword mound, is a place that the Bai family has guarded for generations.

At the beginning, the sword soul was indeed no different, absorbing the aura of Longling for many years, and having been suppressed by the enchantment, it had always been very stable, but one night, it suddenly broke out!

After the rampage, the sword soul was even more terrifying than the ancient monsters, and the destructive power wiped out everything, and the prosperous Bai family was destroyed in an instant, with countless casualties and tragic deaths! Bai Yunhe and his wife were also buried in the sword mound, and only a few people in the huge ancient family survived.

After that night, the sword soul calmed down again and returned to the sword shrine, and there has been no major riot so far. It's just that after the Bai family came to this, it collapsed, and all the strong people fell, and only a few people who survived passed on the lineage and developed to this day.

"How could a good sword soul suddenly erupt?" Li Yunchen was puzzled after hearing this, feeling that there must be something wrong with it.

"It was all 100,000 years ago, and the answer has long been drowned in the dust of history, and what I just said was only what my father told me. Bai Qianru's words were full of sadness, as if lamenting the fate of the Bai family.

"Is that master's surname Feng?" Li Yunchen then asked.

"My father didn't mention it, but I'm sure he was a great figure at the time, and my ancestors treated him with great respect. Bai Qianru said.

Li Yunchen pondered, what Wu Changqing's predecessor said should be right, the person who gave the Bai family's sword soul and the sealing demon baby were the same person, but how could such a master not think about it and not expect the sword soul to get out of control? With his means, there should be no accident.

"Is that sword soul still in the sword shrine now? I want to go and see it. ”

"Absolutely not!" Hearing that Li Yunchen was going to the Sword Shrine, Bai Qianru immediately stopped: "Since the accident, the back mountain has become a forbidden place, and it is strictly forbidden for everyone to enter, even if it is not a person in the family. ”

"Why? Are you afraid of triggering a sword soul riot again?" Li Yunchen was puzzled.

"No, there were people who wanted to enter the sword shrine to find out, but they all died mysteriously inside, and I don't want you to risk it. ”

"Then I'm going to go in even more. Li Yunchen's words were unexpected, he took out the Soul Fixing Bead from the Robbery Pill, and said: "I think it's probably the ghost of the sword soul, this is a huge hidden danger for your Bai family, it just so happens that I have the Soul Fixing Bead in my hand, I can suppress it, and then study it carefully to find out what the problem is." ”

"My father and brother went away to Jiuyao City, just to seek the soul bead, but unfortunately they didn't succeed, but they encountered an accident, I didn't expect you to have one here. Bai Qianru stared at the yellow beads in Li Yunchen's hand, her eyes flowed with brilliance, she was innocent and kind, she didn't think much about it, and she didn't doubt it, if it was someone else, she would definitely link these two things together.

Li Yunchen suddenly had a feeling of weakness, he couldn't imagine what kind of expression Bai Qianru would have if he knew the truth.

With the Soul Fixing Bead, Bai Qianru decided to give it a try, but she asked Li Yunchen to wait for two days, because these days were the full moon, and the sword soul was the most unstable and would be very dangerous.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, and Li Yunchen still needed time to digest his vitality and replenish his energy, so he stayed in the Bai family.

However, at night, something creepy happened!

Li Yunchen was meditating in the room, refining his vitality, but Xia Shuixian suddenly rushed in, her face was very ugly, and without waiting for inquiry, she closed the doors and windows, like a thief.

"What are you doing? panicked...... It can't be that they are trying to do something wrong with me!" Li Yunchen joked.

"What are you thinking about all day long, be serious!" Xia Shuixian looked serious and said, "I found that not only is there a problem with the sword mound here, but there are ghosts in the entire Bai family!"

Li Yunchen put away his smiling face and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"You come with me!" Xia Shuixian pulled Li Yunchen up and ran towards the outside of the house.

In the air, a full moon hung high, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled in the Bai family's compound, which looked a little bleak, and a gust of wind blew, making people tremble.

"What the hell is going on......

"Shhhhh Suddenly, in the silence of the night, there were bursts of strange sounds, and if you didn't pay close attention, you really couldn't detect it.

Li Yunchen's ears moved, and a chill appeared in his heart, as if he heard a child's cry, but he couldn't determine where the sound came from.

And Xia Shuixian said that the voice was like a woman crying, very miserable, in short, it was very uncomfortable to listen to, and my heart was furious.

Gradually, the cry became louder and sader, and Li Yunchen probed with his divine sense, but found nothing.

"Don't be surprised. At this time, Bai Qianru walked out, and after taking off her mourning clothes and changing into a gauze skirt, she looked even more beautiful and moving. "I forgot to tell you during the day, every night in the Bai family, there will be the cries of women and children, this strange thing has happened a long time ago, and it has made people panic for a while. ”

"How could there be such a terrifying thing?" Xia Shuixian couldn't help but swallow.

"It's scary, but nothing has happened so far, so over time, everyone gets used to it. Bai Qianru said very blandly.

"There must be a reason for everything, the cry will not exist for no reason, maybe it will have something to do with the sword soul!" Li Yunchen inferred.

"Even if it's really related, I can't find the source of the sound, so I can't start at all. Xia Shuixian's tone was quite helpless.

"I have a way!" the corners of Li Yunchen's mouth rose slightly.
