"If you like Ying'er, why don't you help your teacher say something, and let the master send you to be a servant?" Liu Yu glanced at the back of the girl who was far away, and said with a smile.

"Ha, isn't she a descendant of the ancestor, and she can still be a handmaid and give it away?"

Bai Ya was stunned, this time he really couldn't figure it out. Although there are many generations between Jora Zhenren and this girl, you can't send your descendants as goods!

"Alas, they are also poor people!" Liu Yu shook his head, and then said something.

It turns out that the situation in this Lingxi Hall is so weird, all because of the identity of Jingluo Zhenren before he became a monk.

More than 200 years ago, Jingluo Zhenren was Xiong Yan, the prince of Chu, and because he failed to compete for the throne, he fled into Yizhou with his retainers and concubines.

At that time, because Shu and Chu were enemy countries, the newly succeeded King Chu had to give up the pursuit.

After Xiong Yan infiltrated the Shu Kingdom, he settled his retainers and concubines, and went to Qingcheng incognito.

He originally wanted to practice martial arts and then use the power of Qingcheng to counterattack the Chu State, but after practicing martial arts for decades, and slowly found that Qingcheng could not control it, he gradually extinguished the idea of competing for the throne of Chu.

However, Xiong Yan forgot the position of the king of Chu, but the nobleman sitting on that place never forgot him.

When the relationship between Shu and Chu gradually improved, the king of Chu finally asked the king of Shu to track down and repatriate the Chu people who had infiltrated Yizhou decades ago.

Of course, Xiong Yan hid in Qingcheng and was not found, but he brought a large group of people back then, but these people had no way to hide their whereabouts. Under the pursuit of the King of Shu, they were arrested one after another.

These people were Xiong Yan's retainers and concubines back then, so he naturally couldn't let them be sent back to Chu Realm, otherwise they would be dead.

So, Xiong Yan had no choice but to identify himself to the court of Qingcheng and Shu, and swore a heavy oath with those retainers and concubines. Xiong Yan became a monk, gave up the inheritance of the king of Chu, and never left Qingcheng.

And before he died, their gang, including their descendants, were also not allowed to take half a step out of Qingcheng.

This heavy oath is guaranteed by the King of Shu, the King of Chu and the Qingcheng Sect, and with the attitude of the people of this era towards oaths and promises, it is as inviolable as the rules of heaven.

Since then, Xiong Yan has become a Jingluo Daoist, and Qingdu Temple has also added a Lingxi Palace.

Because the Jingluo Dao people sacrificed their freedom and saved everyone, plus he was the prince of Chu, these people regarded the Lingxi Palace as a royal palace and served him here as a princely courtesy.

When Jora Majin made his vow, he didn't think too much about it.

Anyway, they have all given up fighting for the throne, and it seems that it is also a good choice to spend their lives in Qingcheng safely. Anyway, when he dies, their descendants will be liberated.

It's just that the only thing that Jingluo Zhenren didn't expect was that after he let go of his thoughts, as a result, his martial arts became higher and higher, and he has lived for more than two hundred years now, and even the ninth generation of descendants has come out, and he hasn't even died yet!

As for the king of Chu who competed with him for the throne at the beginning, he hung up in the second year after he made a heavy oath, and the bizarre things in the world are nothing more bizarre than this!

If Jingluo Zhenren does not die, their descendants will not be able to leave Qingcheng, and they will not even have the opportunity to participate in the Qingcheng martial arts test, so they can only keep being a rice worm. Although I lived a peaceful life, it was really a tragedy to stay in a place where tofu was big for the rest of my life.

Over the years, a small number of young descendants have tried to escape, and most of the Qingcheng warriors have turned a blind eye to the face of Jingluo Zhenren.

But the problem is that the Lingxi Hall is located in the depths of Qingcheng, not to mention the many large arrays that envelop Qingcheng, even the fierce beasts in the mountains are not something they can fight. It would be better for the Qingcheng warriors to catch it halfway, and those who didn't catch it basically became the food in the belly of the beast.

Of course, this is not to say that none of the descendants of Jora Zhenren and those retainers have really gone out, and there have been many people who have been freed in advance over the years.

This is because there is a small loophole in the oath made by Jora Zhenren back then.

This oath was made by the Jora Jinjin and those retainers under the family name, so as long as their descendants became other people's righteous sons and daughters, or even wives, sons-in-law, and slaves, then they could be freed from the shackles of the oath in disguise.

This is actually a trick, but after so many years, I don't care so much. But this kind of trick is almost to the limit, and if you want these people to be more flexible, you can't pass that level in your heart.

However, in this world, patriarchs are still there, and many men are naturally reluctant to be sons, sons-in-law, and slaves to others.

Women are a little better, whether they are anti-righteous women, whether they are wives or concubines, they all have to have other people's surnames.

Therefore, it also brings a drawback, that is, the girls who are eager to live freely always want to tempt the Qingcheng disciples to take them out of the mountain with their beauty. After nine generations of reproduction, there was a "" like Xiong Ying who hooked up when she saw a man.

Jora didn't care about this, so many years have passed, and the retainers and children and grandchildren he really has a relationship with have passed away. Now these people have no connection left except for the word descendant.

Besides, the people who can come to Lingxi Hall are all Qingcheng disciples, these people can be described as outstanding people, and ordinary people give them wives, concubines and maidservants, there is really nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, as long as he is there, at least these women will not be abused by their husbands.

When Bai Ya heard this, he couldn't help but scoff at the persistence of these people, at least he would not be bound by an oath for a lifetime.

However, he did not refute Liu Yu.

Having traveled to this world for so long, he knows that the people of this world are trustworthy. What's more, this oath only restricts freedom, and has not yet implicated life and death, and these people will not break it casually.

"Forget it, since you don't have any thoughts about Ying'er, let's talk about it later!" Liu Yu spread his hands and walked towards the main hall with him.

Lingxi Hall as a whole is a large garden, according to Liu Yu, this is a replica of the Jingluo Zhenren when he was still the prince of Chu's mansion. Passing through the huge mansion gate, a Jiangnan garden with water as the boundary and the corridor as the road appeared in front of the white cliff.

Lingxi Hall is arranged with many rockery pavilions, the buildings are scattered on the southeast side, the northwest is the mountain landscape garden carving, the central pool separates the surrounding buildings, and the verandah with twists and turns and changes is placed on it, forming a changeable three-dimensional landscape.

The main hall is located in the east of the mansion, and there is a gold-lettered plaque hanging on it, with the inscription "Lingxi Palace".

At the gate of the hall, Bai Ya saw two pairs of boys and girls who were pretending to be ceremonies, and couldn't help but look at them curiously.

"Master, does our Pure Luo Patriarch like this kind of luxury?"

"It's not that Patriarch Jora hasn't pursued much of worldly pleasures since he became a monk. Liu Yu shook his head and replied, "The people who came up with this set back then were all his retainers and concubines, and the master considered that they couldn't stay here all the time for nothing, so he acquiesced to their actions." ”

"Are these people all supported by the patriarch?" Bai Ya couldn't help but speak.

"No, it's basically the Qingdu Temple that provides daily needs, and considering the master's contribution to the sect, a little offering is not too much. Liu Yu stroked his beard and smiled, "If you talk about martial arts, the master is not outstanding in the high-level, but when it comes to educating disciples, the master is simply the master of the masters!"

"You already know that when the disciples of Qingcheng are in the realm of qi and mind, they are all taught by the senior brothers.

When the master joined Qingcheng, he wanted to use the power of Qingcheng to usurp the throne of the king of Chu, so he not only practiced hard himself, but also carefully taught every new martial artist assigned to him. Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Therefore, in the Qingdu Guan, the master has taught the most innate strong people.

Although the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother have passed away, the sixth senior brother has been traveling abroad for decades, and he still does not know life and death for the time being. But after so many years, there are still three innate disciples under his command, among which the senior brother has a higher position in the view than the master, and is one of the three capitals.

Besides, the master is in charge of the squatter position, although he doesn't care about it himself, but the squatter is actually the presiding department of the sect to issue tasks, and the authority is very great, and there is no shortage of oil and water......

"I see!" Bai Ya suddenly looked at the young boys and girls who were shuttling and frolicking in the garden, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "In addition to our ancestors, there shouldn't be so many servants in the Qingdu Temple, right?"

"Hehe, that depends. If a martial artist wants to break through to the innate realm, he will definitely not be able to do it by meditation alone, and he must travel abroad to seek realization. Some can take decades, or even centuries. ”

Liu Yu said with a smile, "Most of these people have their own stories, they are alone when they go out, and they may bring a big family with them when they come back."

If their wives and concubines are also martial artists of the sect, Qingcheng will allow them to enter the mountain. If it's just an ordinary person, it depends on the situation, and most of them will live at the bottom of the mountain. Therefore, many Qingcheng disciples do not necessarily meditate on the mountain, but may also live in seclusion in the town at the foot of the mountain, living with their families. ”

"Living with ordinary people, wouldn't they delay the path of martial arts?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows and asked puzzled.

"The lifespan of the innate powerhouse is very long, while the lifespan of ordinary people is very short, these Qingcheng powerhouses have lived with their families for decades, and they will naturally return to the sect. Liu Yu sighed and said.

Bai Ya understood, the so-called return to the sect is naturally that the wives and concubines or children of those congenitally strong have passed away, and the remaining grandchildren and great-grandchildren are not deeply affectionate, so it doesn't matter if they live together.

"Do all the innate powerhouses have such an experience?" Bai Ya asked with a little feeling.

"Most people have, of course, there are martial arts idiots who have focused their lives on martial arts. It's just that the understanding of the world can make up for the way of heaven, and the martial artists who have had love and hatred are sometimes more powerful than martial idiots. Liu Yu said with a sigh.

"Liu Yu, but you're here, come in quickly!"

Just when Liu Yu and Bai Ya were standing at the door of the hall muttering, a clear male voice finally came out of the hall.

"Oh no, I'm just chatting with you stinky boy, and I'll meet the real person with a certain person. Liu Yu's face was grim, and he hurriedly pulled Bai Ya towards the hall.

After Bai Ya walked into the main hall, he saw that the dome in the hall was extremely high, and there were more than ten relief jade pillars on both sides of each side, and there was a long gauze tent hanging above, and there seemed to be a music class playing with chimes and drums in the depths.

In front of the main hall was a couch, on which a white-haired Taoist man in a sackcloth robe was lying on his side. Behind the couch stands a screen of dragons and phoenixes, and on each side stands a beautiful girl dressed as a palace maid and holding a palm fan.

Seeing this situation, Bai Ya knew that this white-haired Taoist should be a real person from Jingluo.
