Chapter 5: The Past
In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The full moon hangs high, and the Nanqiang Palace
In the main hall, the Holy Tiger standing in the center was going to know the general situation from the Holy Phoenix and explain it in detail one by one. And the elders in the main hall were preoccupied with the Dharma Protectors. Quiet and silent. Listen carefully, the face is crowded with the same solemnity.
"Celestial!"
"The clansmen are wounded!"
"Mystery view!"
One after another, like meteorites falling from the sky to the water, stirred up thousands of waves in the main hall. And these mainstay characters of the two races can naturally be very aware of it. What exactly can this information represent.
"Elder Holy Tiger, are your nephew Saint Huang's words genuine?"
"Holy Tiger, you don't deliberately make up a story to fool everyone, do you? ”
Although many of the elders and Dharma protectors in the main hall raised questions to the Holy Tiger, most of them were just to hide their inner anxiety and uneasiness.
"If one of the fellows present doesn't believe me, come with me to check on my nephew's wounds, which are split in the shoulders and in all directions. Coupled with the yellow immortal method that the Holy Phoenix said, this is clearly caused by the spiritual spells of the immortal world. The Holy Tiger said coldly
"There are many spells in the Heavenly Realm, and I am not without yellow tearing spells, your nephew glances, how can you be sure that this is left by the people of the Heavenly Realm. ”
"And there are many people in the Southern and Western Qiang tribes who know immortal arts. ”
“......”
The Holy Tiger quarreled with the elders in the hall. The scene became chaotic for a while
"That's enough, we'll discuss whether this matter is true or not later," Lei Zhan said to control the scene. Lei Zhan glanced at Xiqiang and the Dharma Protector, and after seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued: "As for what to do in the next few days, please ask the Great Elder to decide. He arched his hand in the direction of the Great Elder.
"Leave it to the Great Elder to decide. ”
"Let the Holy Maiden decide. ”
The people of the two ethnic groups of Nanqiang and Xiqiang got up from their seats one after another. bowing his head to the two patriarchs, such a major matter, only the top leaders of the two clans are qualified to make decisions on behalf of their clans. The Holy Tiger can't. Thunder warfare, not either.
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes in the audience, the Xiqiang Holy Maiden turned her head and looked at the old face of the Great Elder. He said softly, "Great Elder, what do you think of this matter. ”
"What Elder Holy Tiger said, I think is extremely credible. I had examined the wound of the Holy Phoenix with my divine thoughts before, and it was caused by the immortal magic of the fairy world, and I think that the cultivation of the two invaders was not high at that time, and the Holy Phoenix was only a child, and he was worried that the movement of the spell would be too large to attract the attention of others. I lowered the strength of the shot. The Holy Phoenix was only seriously injured and did not die on the spot."
"Well, I think so, too. ”
The Great Elder spoke together with the Holy Maiden of Xiqiang, and His Highness could only choose to believe it.
"A hundred years ago, the Xuanji Concept was just a second-rate force in the Heavenly Realm. Even now. I believe that the strength of the Xuanji Concept is still far inferior to that of my Qiang people. "The words of the Great Elder did not separate Nanqiang from Xiqiang alone, but the Holy Maiden of Xiqiang did not correct it at this moment. Instead, listen carefully.
"A hundred years ago, the Qiang tribe was ordered by the patriarch to live in seclusion inside the Qiang Domain, and the clansmen were not allowed to leave the Qiang Domain. ”
"The Qiang Domain was originally a place of decay and unknown death in the Heavenly Realm, and the people of the Heavenly Realm rarely interacted with each other, for fear of affecting the Fortune Path. In the past hundred years, although there have been others outside the Qiang Domain, there has never been anyone inside. ”
"But now, the people of the Xuanji Temple have appeared inside the Qiang Domain and discovered the people of our clan. And leave with the message. ”
"It's not a matter of worrying about the mystical view alone. The leakage of the news is the most serious."
Everyone frowned, indeed. Although the Qiang people were strong back then, their strength was maintained through one war after another. Countless blood, the corpse was injected into the Qiang tribe of the year. The Qiang people also set up many enemies because of this. The news of the Qiang tribe has leaked, and those enemies will not give up the opportunity to take revenge
"Therefore, the other forces in the Heavenly Realm will know about this, and the former Qiang tribe will abandon their territory and shrink into the Qiang Domain. ”
"The enemies of the past will even come to the door, for example, the sworn enemies of my Qiang tribe. Dongyi!"
"And now, the patriarch has disappeared and has not returned. The strength of Dongyi is only stronger than that of my Qiang people. ”
"My Qiang clan used to be the overlord of the heavenly realm, and the resources in the clan made the rest of the forces in the heavenly realm eyeing my Qiang clan for many years. ”
"Originally, the Qiang people continued to live in the Qiang region, waiting for the return of the patriarch. ”
"But now that the Heavenly Realm knows where my Qiang tribe is, this path is no longer feasible. ”
"Without a patriarch, the Qiang cannot fall. ”
"I decide. I, the people of the Qiang tribe, do not have to live in the Qiang land for a long time. The Qiang people can enter and leave the Qiang domain at will, and the Qiang people will return to the stage of the heavenly realm. Regain the glory of our Qiang people"
"I hope that I, Qiang people, will come when the time comes. I hope you all share the same hatred. Don't insult the prestige of my Qiang people. ”
The simple words have a sense of coercion and power. Elder Nanqiang was enthusiastic when he heard this. The surging aura on his body burst out. Passionate
However, the Xiqiang Dharma protectors in the hall behaved diametrically opposite, none of them made a sound, they obeyed the orders of the Xiqiang Holy Maiden, and when the Xiqiang Holy Maiden did not express her position. Each Dharma Protector remained silent.
"The Xiqiang Dharma Protectors obey the order. After a long time, the Xiqiang Holy Maiden finally spoke
"Your Majesty, please command. "Xiqiang and the Dharma protectors have been waiting for a long time.
"On another day, if a strong enemy comes to invade the Qiang region. I hope that all the Dharma protectors and the elders of Nanqiang will lead the people to fight the enemy together. The simple words of the Xiqiang Holy Maiden showed the position of the entire tribe of Xiqiang.
"Yes. Subordinates receive orders. "The Xiqiang Dharma protectors have received their orders. Seeing this, the elders of Nanqiang breathed a sigh of relief. With the addition of Xiqiang. If you really meet a strong enemy, the odds are much greater. In the battle of ethnic groups, it is not enough to rely on individual strength. Xiqiang's formation, pills. will be of great help.
"Elders, the Dharma Protector should step down first, I have something I want to talk to the Holy Maiden about alone. The Great Elder spoke, and Elder Nanqiang quickly left from the main hall, and the Xiqiang Protector was waved by the Xiqiang Holy Maiden. and then they departed together. Although the two tribes have the intention of reuniting. But the Dharma protectors still only listened to the command of the saint alone.
Loyalty
Soon, a cadre of elders and Dharma protectors disappeared from the main hall. There were only two people left in the empty hall. The huge hall was a little scary. The two of them stood quietly on the main hall. Wait for the other person to speak first.
The Xiqiang Holy Maiden stood behind the Great Elder and pursed her mouth, lowered her head, and looked at the ground. He whispered, "Grandpa Ye." "Like a little girl who has done something bad.
And if this scene is seen by the Xiqiang people, they will be very surprised. No one would have thought that the Xiqiang tribe, the high-ranking Xiqiang Holy Maiden, would have such a different side.
"Hehe, Wanqing. Since you have become the Holy Maiden of Xiqiang, it is good to be worthy of my peers. The Great Elder smiled.
Wan Qing, the real name of the Xiqiang Holy Maiden, and the Blood Refining Demon Ji is just a code name for the previous Holy Maidens of Xiqiang. There is a huge Qiang clan, and there is only one person left who knows this name, the Great Elder. The others have either disappeared like the patriarchs. Either it has been buried in the loess in the expansion of the territory of the Qiang people.
"Outside, Wanqing should be like this, but in private, Wanqing is still used to calling you Grandpa Ye like this. The Holy Maiden looked at the Great Elder's old face sincerely. It seems that his face has a few more wrinkles than the last time they met.
"Well, after being a Xiqiang saintess for more than a hundred years, she must be very tired. ”
"If you can solve problems for your father-in-law, it can be regarded as tiring. ”
"Hehe, yes. More than 400 years ago, the patriarch brought you back from outside, when you were a baby girl, and I, like the patriarch, watched you grow up. No one expected that the patriarch's casual kindness would bring a saint with outstanding qualifications to the Qiang people. The Great Elder sighed.
Wanqing didn't dare to forget the kindness of her father-in-law and grandfather. ”
"Back then, it only took you two hundred years to step into the realm of Chongxu. He has become the best genius in the history of my Qiang people. Everyone is impressed by your talent. ”
"In the end, you lived up to expectations and defeated countless Xiqiang people. Succeeded the inheritance of the previous Blood Refining Demon Queen. She became the youngest saint of my Qiang tribe. ”
"Grandpa Ye, you still remember. I'm almost forgetting about it. Wan Qing smiled. I don't seem to care about what I've achieved.
"On the night you took over as the Blood Refining Demon Queen, the patriarch and I had a dry of elders who drank bitterly all night. Everyone is very drunk, I have lived for thousands of years, and I have never seen the patriarch happy like this. He told me at the time that he had taken in a good daughter. The Qiang are hopeful. ”
The Holy Maiden of Xiqiang quietly listened to the Great Elder talk about the old things. There was a warmth in my heart.
"Under the decades of conquest between the patriarch and the elders of the clan. I, the Qiang people, have finally become the overlords of the Heavenly Realm. swept away the southern forces. Dominate the South. In the end, it is also the princes of the Heavenly Realm, and no one dares to offend the many forces in the Heavenly Realm except for a few Dongyi. The people of the clan are even more angry in the heavenly realm. I walk with my toes high. ”
"Yes, my father-in-law was really heroic at that time, and no one in the clan could compare to my father-in-law. ”
"However, just when the development of my Qiang tribe was at its peak, and everyone was trying to build a beautiful blueprint, everything changed. ”
"On that night more than a hundred years ago, the patriarch summoned all the elders of the clan overnight, even the elders who were cultivating retreat. Ignoring the opposition of many elders, the patriarch insisted on giving up the land that had been fortunate enough to conquer the Heavenly Realm. Instead, he hid in this deserted and ominous place. That night, everyone was arguing. ”
That night, Wanqing also attended the meeting in the clan. Wanqing, like the elder Gan, once spoke out to stop her. However, I remember Grandpa Ye, you don't seem to dissuade your father-in-law. The Holy Maiden said
"Yes, how can you give up the territory you have in hand, but I trust our patriarch. The prosperity of the Qiang people is because of the patriarch, and how can there be a strong Qiang people without the patriarch. I'm sure the patriarch must have had his thoughts in mind. So, that night. I chose silence. The Great Elder sighed.
"If the Great Elder had been on our side that night, the Patriarch might have retracted his opinion. Now our Qiang people still sit on the southern land. It's still the overlord of the Heavenly Realm," the Xiqiang Holy Maiden sighed. No matter how good you think, it's in vain, everything has already happened.
"After that night, the great Qiang people completely disappeared from the heavenly realm, and no one knew where the Qiang people had gone. No one would have thought that they were hiding in the Qiang Domain today. The Great Elder sighed.
"However, on the third day after arriving in the Qiang Domain, as soon as the tribe settled down, the patriarch was in my house, leaving a map sealed by a box and a note. And he left alone. And from that day on, the patriarch never returned. ”
"Map?note?" The Xiqiang Holy Maiden was stunned for a moment, she had heard of these things for the first time.
"Yes, the note left by the patriarch specifically instructed that the second person should not know about this matter. So for so many years, I haven't told you. ”
"Great Elder, where are the maps and notes? The map must have written the whereabouts of my father-in-law, and if we follow the map, we will definitely be able to find my father-in-law." The Xiqiang Holy Maiden excitedly grabbed the sleeve of the Great Elder. has completely lost the appearance of the high-minded saint before, and for so many years, what she hopes most is to hear the news of her father-in-law. Even if it's just a little bit of news. It was enough to satisfy her.
"The map is on me, and the patriarch has commanded that this map should not be seen by a second person. So I haven't taken it out, and there is a seal left by the patriarch on the map, and it can't be opened at all if I can't cultivate to the realm of the patriarch. Wanqing, although you are talented, your strength is not as good as mine, and I can't open the seal, so you don't have to try.
Wanqing, I can't give you the map. As for the back of the note, it was the patriarch who left an iron decree that the Qiang people were not allowed to leave the Qiang Domain, unless the patriarch came back and personally lifted the order. And this order cannot be revealed. I can only know for myself. ”
The Xiqiang Holy Maiden let go of her hand holding the sleeve of the Great Elder and lowered her head. The originally excited heart fell down again for a while. As the Great Elder said, his strength was still some distance from him. I'm afraid I won't be able to break the seal.
"However, you did not know that the patriarch had this order. That's why you came to the main hall many times and told me that you were going out to find your father-in-law, and each time you were unceremoniously stopped by me, and I didn't give you any explanation. ”
"The patriarch's order cannot be disobeyed, and the patriarch's note does not allow the old man to reveal the news of the note, but now, the old man can't reveal it. In the end, you left with negative qi and set up Xiqiang in the Qiang region. ”
"Grandpa Ye, Wanqing knows that she is wrong......" As soon as the words fell, the corners of her eyes turned red. A wave of acidity welled up in his nose.
"No, you're not wrong. You set up your own Xiqiang, it's not that you forgot your roots, you just didn't listen to my orders, and went out of the Qiang domain to find the patriarch without permission, and I have always seen this in my eyes, and I didn't say it, in fact, I know it. ”
"As the Great Elder of the Qiang Tribe, I should obey all the orders of the Qiang Clan. But I have the selfish motives to indulge you in doing so. After more than a hundred years, in fact, why don't I want to go out of the Qiang Domain to find the traces of the patriarch."
"But I, the great patriarch of the Qiang tribe, how can I take the lead in disobeying the patriarch's orders for my own reasons. I can only hope that you can find the trace of the patriarch. Patriarch, he has been missing for more than 100 years, and he is also what I watched grow up. As he spoke, two tears left his old cheeks without comment.
"Grandpa Ye!" Hearing this, Wanqing finally couldn't help it. Holding the emaciated junior of the Great Elder, tears flowed. The contradictions and grievances that have been in place for many years have finally been resolved at this moment. The iceberg in the heart of the Xiqiang Holy Maiden melted little by little.
