Chapter 34: The Past of the Long Family
According to Long Zheng, the Long family's entry into the East City of the Sifang City was hundreds of years ago. And the existence of Sifang City, according to well-documented documents, has been tens of thousands of years. In the past tens of thousands of years, whether it is the capital city in the center of the Sifang City, or the four acropolis cities in the east, south, west, and north, there have been many city lords from different families.
Among the five current city lords, the Tantai family of Fucheng has been sitting in the central Fucheng for thousands of years. Among the four acropolises, the Xia family, the Huang family, and the Cheng family, who have been in their respective cities, have also been in their respective cities for more than a thousand years. Only the Long family, less than a thousand years ago, was a stunning and brilliant person of the Long family, who defeated the Chun Yujia, the lord of the East City at that time, in one fell swoop in the battle for the city lord, and finally led the Long family into the East City.
Hearing this, Long Chuan asked, "Dad, can you still fight for the position of the city lord?"
Long Zheng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "A few hundred years ago, the positions of the various city lords in the Sifang City could be challenged. If the challenger wins the battle for the Castle Lord, the Castle Lord will be in the hands of the Challenger. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, what is the battle for this city lord like?"
After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other, Long Zheng said: "According to the records of our Long family, the content of this battle for the city lord is very complicated. However, the most recent battle for the city lord was a competition for the ancestors of my Long family to capture the lord of the eastern city. Since then, there has never been a battle for the lord of the city. Dad won't talk to you about it. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, since then, has no one challenged the various city lords?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Hmm." Since my Long family won the position of the lord of the eastern city, no one has ever started a battle for the lord of the city. ”
Seeing that Long Chuan still had some doubts, Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, not long after the ancestor of our Long family took the position of the lord of the East City, the Jade Sword Gate appeared in the Sifang City. ”
Long Zheng took over and said, "When the Jade Sword Gate appeared in the Sifang City, it was the first time that the spiders attacked the city on a large scale. The immortal elders of the Jade Sword Gate helped our Sifang City defeat the spiders in one fell swoop, and from then on, they began to protect our Sifang City. ”
Long Chuan frowned lightly and said, "Dad, are you saying that the immortal elders of the Jade Sword Sect appeared in the Sifang City in less than a thousand years?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." Before the appearance of the Jade Sword Gate, many people in Sifang City did not know that there were still immortal cultivators in this world. ”
After a slight pause, Long Zheng continued: "However, after the appearance of the Jade Sword Gate, only the people in the Sifang City knew that not only there were immortal cultivators in the Jade Sword Gate, but even in our Sifang City, there were also immortal cultivators. ”
Long rumored the rumor, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, are you also from the Jade Sword Sect?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, the ancestor of my Long family is also a cultivator of immortals. ”
Xiaoqing let out an "ah" in Long Chuan's mind, and Long Chuan asked, "Really, where is the ancestor of our Long family?"
Long Zheng's voice became a little muffled and said, "According to the records of our Long family, the ancestor died in the battle with the spider. ”
Long Chuan let out a soft "ah" and said, "Dad, you just said that when the people from the Jade Sword Gate appeared, it was the first time that the spider attacked Sifang City. Is that what the ancestors died in that battle?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "No. The Ancestor was killed in the Third Siege of the Spiders. ”
Long Chuan asked, "The third battle?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "After the immortal elders of the Jade Sword Gate helped our Sifang City repel the spider's first attack, they offered to help us protect the Sifang City. However, the Jade Sword Gate also put forward a condition. ”
Long Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, do you want our Sifang City to provide them with those strange items?"
Long Zheng and Li Yun looked at each other again and asked, "Chuan'er, what kind of item are you talking about, where did you know that?"
The dragon legend said: "Father, when the child went to the city with his ancestors and his father, he saw some strange items in some shops, which did not look like things used by ordinary people. Dad just said that there are immortal cultivators in this world. The child had seen it too, and those things were pulled into the house. The child wondered if those things were for the immortals in the mansion. ”
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Chuan'er, you're right. Those things are for the use of immortal cultivators. The condition proposed by the Jade Sword Gate is that we in Sifang City can provide them with those items. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, what happened later?"
Long Zheng said: "When the Jade Sword Sect proposed this condition, the mansion master at that time and the other three families all agreed. Only the ancestor of my Long family did not agree. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Why?"
Long Zheng said: "At that time, many people didn't understand why the ancestors refused to accept it because it was just something that ordinary people couldn't use. After many years, the people in the Sifang City gradually understood why the ancestors did not agree. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, why?"
Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, those things, although ordinary people can't use them, they are not easy to come by. There are some things that are buried deep in the ground. There are some things that are born in a desperate place. Over the years, it has become more and more difficult for my Long family to get these things. ”
Long Chuan nodded, and then asked, "Dad, mother, what happened then? Why did our Long family agree again?"
Long Zheng said slowly: "After the ancestor refused, the Jade Sword Sect was not embarrassed, but just said that the cultivation of people in the Immortal Sect is also very difficult. If the ancestors were unwilling to provide those things to the Jade Sword Gate for the people in the Immortal Gate to practice, if the spiders attacked the city, the Jade Sword Gate might not be able to free up manpower to help protect the East City. The ancestor was a person of amazing talent, and he was a person who cultivated immortals, so he said to the Jade Sword Gate that if he encountered a spider attack again, the Long family would be able to defend the East City and would not need the help of the Jade Sword Gate. ”
Long Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Dad, mother, can you let the child guess what is going on, right?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Chuan'er, you say." ”
The dragon legend said: "In less than a few years, the spiders came to attack the city again. Moreover, our Dongcheng was the most attacked by the most, and the Jade Sword Gate did not come to help. But the ancestor still took our Long family and the people of Dongcheng to defeat the spider. As a result, less than a few years later, the spider came again. This time, the spider's attack was even more violent, and the Jade Sword Gate still didn't help. And the ancestors also died in this battle. ”
After that, seeing that Long Zheng and Li Yun both had surprised expressions on their faces, Long Chuan continued: "Dad, mother, if the child guesses correctly, the interval between the two moon disappearances should belong to those shorter intervals. Also, Dad just said that when the Jade Sword Gate first appeared in the Sifang City, it happened to meet the spider's first attack on the city. If the child's guess is correct, before the Jade Sword Gate appeared in the Sifang City, there should have never been a thing where the three moons disappeared at the same time, right?"
Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other again, and their faces became even more surprised and a little dignified.
Long Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Chuan'er, are you sure that no one has ever told you about these things?"
Long Chuan shook his head and said, "Dad, the child has never heard of these things. ”
Li Yun looked at Long Chuan in surprise and asked, "Chuan'er, then why are you ......?"
The dragon legend said: "Father, mother, did the child guess it?"
Seeing that Long Zheng and Li Yun nodded at the same time, Long Legend said: "Father, mother, the child has been unable to speak all these years, so he especially likes to think about things. The child thinks that this should be the reason why the child can understand these things. ”
After that, Long Chuan immediately changed the topic, and then asked, "Dad, mother, what happened then?"
Long Zheng said: "When the third spider attacked the city, after the ancestors died in battle, many spiders attacked the east city and caused a lot of slaughter in the east city. Not only that, but some spiders also killed from Dongcheng to several other cities, including Fucheng, and caused a lot of casualties in other cities. After the people of the Jade Sword Gate and several other cities repelled all the spiders that flowed into the other cities, they finally came to the aid of Dongcheng and repelled the spiders that attacked Dongcheng. ”
Speaking of this, Long Zheng picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and continued: "After repelling the spiders, the Jade Sword Gate ordered that in order to prevent the tragedy of the third siege from happening again, the Jade Sword Gate will send the people of the Immortal Gate to sit in the five cities of the Sifang City for a long time. Moreover, no city lord could refuse this arrangement of the Jade Sword Gate. ”
Long Chuan frowned lightly and said, "Dad, mother, our Long family has had immortal cultivators live at home since then?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." The second and third spider sieges, the Jade Sword Gate did not come to the aid of Dongcheng. In these two battles, countless ancestors of my Long family died in battle. In the third siege battle, even the ancestor who was an immortal cultivator was killed. My Long family was chilled by the Jade Sword Gate's death, and I didn't want to accept the Jade Sword Gate's arrangement. However, in the third siege battle, because of the loss of the eastern city, several other cities also suffered a lot of losses, so several other families and the Jade Sword Gate put pressure on our Long family, and even threatened to start the battle for the city lord again. In that battle, the ancestors were killed in battle, and many ancestors of the Long family were also killed in the battle, and the vitality of our Long family was greatly damaged. At that time, the other ancestors of the Long family were forced to have no choice but to accept the arrangement of the Jade Sword Gate and let the people from the Xianmen settle in the Long family. ”
Long Chuan frowned again and asked, "Dad, Aunt Xia, have their family also put pressure on our Long family?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "The Xia family didn't put pressure on our Long family. However, the Xia family is also worried that after the death of that ancestor, the strength of the Long family has weakened, and if they do not accept the arrangement of the Jade Sword Gate, the Long family may not only lose the position of the city lord, but if they encounter a spider attack again, they may even have the disaster of destroying the door, so they also persuade the other ancestors of our Long family. ”
Long Chuan asked, "The disaster of destroying the door?"
Long Zheng said in a low voice: "The people of the Jade Sword Gate said that if any family does not accept the arrangement of the Jade Sword Gate and does not allow the people of the Immortal Gate of the Jade Sword Gate to enter the city, causing the spiders to break through the city and cause a large number of casualties, the Jade Sword Gate will uproot that family for the Heavenly Path." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Qing said in Long Chuan's mind: "Long Chuan, this Jade Sword Gate is a little weird. ”
Long Chuan said "um" in his mind, and said to Long Zheng: "Dad, how many people are in the Immortal Gate of each family in the Jade Sword Gate, is the number of people the same?"
Long Zheng said: "At the beginning, the Jade Sword Sect sent the same number of people from the Immortal Sect of the East, South, West, and North Acropolis to the east, south, west, and north, all of them. ”
Long Chuan asked, "What about the one sent to Fucheng?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. How many people from the Immortal Sect sent by the Jade Sword Sect to the Mansion City are known only to the Mansion Master. ”
Long Chuan asked again: "Dad, are these people in the Immortal Sect all provided those items by each family?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Hmm." From then on, each family not only had to provide for the people in the Xianmen in their own family, but also provided a certain amount of those items to the Yujianmen on a regular basis according to the requirements of the Jade Sword Gate. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, are these items of our Long family directly handed over to the Jade Sword Gate?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "No. The items supplied to the people in the immortal gate in the house are directly handed over to the immortal chief in the house. The items provided to the Jade Sword Gate, like my Long family and several others, were all handed over to Fucheng. ”
