No one spoke, letting Zeng Bufan calm down his emotions. Wait until he calms down a bit. Qingshi asked: "What kind of catastrophe is this?"
"This catastrophe is a war between the sea tribe and humans," Zeng Bufan said. "It is said that the cause was that a group of human monks sneaked into the Longkun Palace. They stole the Dragon Palace's treasures. After being discovered, they almost killed everyone in a big battle. They killed all the Dragon Palace Hai tribe, including Emperor Kun's three wives and more than a dozen children. According to the surviving Shui tribe, they also kidnapped Emperor Kun's youngest son.
"Emperor Kun was visiting Yingyao Island with his fourth wife and their only daughter. He hurried back after learning that the Dragon Palace was attacked, but it was too late. The group of human monks had already bloodbathed the Dragon Palace. Leave in a hurry.
"Emperor Kun pursued them desperately, and finally caught up with them when they were near the coast of Shenmu Continent, so there was another bloody battle. Emperor Kun pursued alone, so he was outnumbered. Although he destroyed several ships and killed hundreds of people, those The monk still wounded him and then boarded the Shenmu Continent.
"Emperor Kun was extremely angry, but he couldn't land to fight them. He could only watch them take his only remaining son. In his rage, Emperor Kun lost his mind and turned back to lead the sea tribe to attack humans. revenge.
"Emperor Kun vowed to kill all humans, starting from the mighty sea area. He led the sea tribe to bloodbath one island after another inhabited by humans. Wherever he went, no chickens or dogs were left. Human beings had no choice but to do so. Rise up and resist. A war that lasted for three years, with countless casualties on both sides.
"In the end, the remaining humans gathered on Chongshan Island. Emperor Kun led the remaining sea tribe to launch a final battle. In that battle, my old friend and Junior Brother Ruyun both died in the battle, and I was also seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"But Emperor Kun also died in the end. He died together with a very powerful tribal leader. The leader's combat power was not as good as the three of us foreign monks, but he was a sea citizen and knew how to deal with the sea people.
"Although Emperor Kun died, the Hai Clan, led by Emperor Kun's fourth wife, was still able to kill all the remaining humans, because at this time, almost all human monks died in the battle, leaving only more than 10,000 women and children.
"At the critical moment, the Wind Emperor, the daughter of Emperor Kun and his fourth wife, appeared. She was originally imprisoned by Emperor Kun at the bottom of the sea with his magic power because she opposed the war with humans. When Emperor Kun died, the magic power that imprisoned her disappeared, so She was freed, and as soon as she was free she came to stop the war.
"The Feng Emperor persuaded his mother and tribe members not to massacre the remaining humans. They agreed that, except for the Feng Emperor himself, all sea people could not board Chongshan Island. But humans who are not within the scope of Chongshan Island, the sea people The clan can do whatever they want.
"The Fenghuang is very kind. She was afraid that some sea tribes would disobey orders and land on the island to kill people, so she lived on the island for a long time to protect humans. Over time, humans called Chongshan Island Fenghuang Island.
"In order not to arouse the anger of the Sea Clan, humans no longer dare to go to the sea to engage in fishing, even if it is fish, shrimp, and shellfish. Naturally, no one dares to leave Fenghuang Island in a boat.
"Human ships coming from the outer sea will undoubtedly be attacked by all sea tribes. When the Wind Emperor and her men encounter such a situation, they will always try their best to rescue some human survivors.
"The Chi Zha Sea originally had hundreds of inhabited islands with a population of tens of millions. After this catastrophe, only more than 10,000 people remained on Fenghuang Island. To this day, the population is less than 100,000. The specific losses of the Hai Clan I don’t know how many there are, but there are no less than ten great transformed demons who died under the hands of the three of us, and as for the other sea beasts, there are countless others. The only remaining members of the Longkun clan are the Wind Emperor and her mother. Two women.
"The survivors of Fenghuang Island are basically ordinary people. There are very few monks, and some have extremely low talents. Therefore, their life span does not exceed two hundred years. Five hundred years have passed, and this matter has long been solved. People have forgotten, but I am the only one who still remembers the bloody storm of those years."
After Zeng Bufan finished speaking, everyone fell into a long silence again. Only then did Qingshi know why A Kun didn't have a father.
After a long time, Qingshi asked: "I dare to ask Mr. Zeng, do you think the monks who attacked Kunhuang Dragon Palace were the leader and his group?"
"I don't know!" Zeng Bufan shook his head and said, "I have been thinking about this question for five hundred years, but I still don't know the answer. From the information I learned later, it seems that it is not them.
"First of all, the situation of the fleet does not match. It is said that the fleet that Emperor Kun caught up with had eleven warships. Judging from the style, they should be from the Shenmu Continent, but the leading brother and his party only had three warships from the Tianlong Continent.
"Secondly, the number of people does not match. Emperor Kun killed hundreds of people after catching up with the fleet, and even more people landed and left. However, the leader, including the sailors and servants, only had less than a hundred people in total.
"However, in terms of combat power, I can't think of anyone else who can enter Kun Emperor Dragon Palace and massacre his family and subordinates except the leader and his party! Moreover, judging from the time, they also have Highly suspicious."
"Yes!" Qingshi nodded and said, "Both ships and people can be added at any time, but it is not easy to find another team with such a strong fighting force! By the way, what about your old friend? Say? He should know the purpose of this trip!"
"Of course I asked him," Zeng Bufan said, "He insisted that it couldn't be the leader and the others, because our destination is the Devil's Sea, not the King's Sea. Attacking Kun Emperor Dragon Palace is not part of the action plan. "
"Then what is your purpose?" Qingshi said, "You have encountered such a huge change. Did he still not tell you?"
"No!" Zeng Bufan said, "He firmly believes that the catastrophe we encountered has nothing to do with the leader, let alone our action plan, so he still adheres to the principle and must see the leader before talking."
"When you don't even know the purpose, you follow the leader to travel across the ocean without hesitation!" Qingshi said thoughtfully, "This leader is really amazing! I guess, the leader is probably Jiang Tianlong, and yours That old friend should be Jiang Tiankui, right?"
"That's right!" Zeng Bufan said with a slight smile, "Aside from their brothers, who else has such great appeal?"
Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian gasped together. Like Qingshi, they now knew the reason for the sudden disappearance of those talented people back then, and Duan Wutian finally knew the whereabouts of his Hongling ancestor.
It's just that what the purpose of the Jiang brothers is, even Zeng Feifan who participated in it is unknown, which is really puzzling. And whether this catastrophe five hundred years ago was caused by Jiang Tianlong and others is even more urgent to find out. As one of the parties involved, Zeng Bufan has been dragging his body around for five hundred years, but he still hasn't got the answer. You can imagine his frustration.
"The people of our generation in the Tianlong Continent are blessed with good luck," Zeng Bufan continued. "There are no fewer than twenty people who have achieved complete Qi! In the process of fighting for hegemony in the world, most of them fell. And the remaining ten people , all of them were taken thousands of miles away overseas by the Jiang brothers. What exactly happened to Jiang Tianlong and Xiang Qubing? It is still unknown to this day. In my opinion, they are mostly in danger! Of the talented generation back then, I’m afraid I’m the only one left to survive!”
"No less than twenty?" Qing Duan and Chen were all surprised, because what they knew was that there were about ten monks with complete Qi, and the common saying was nine.
Zeng Bufan stood up, carried a pot of fire and walked out of the small courtyard, saying, "Follow me!" Qing Duan, Chen and the others quickly followed, while Jing'er followed far behind.
In the bright moonlight, the four of them walked no more than a hundred feet along the stone path. They came to a small hill covered with weeds and saw a low tomb standing there, with the head of the tomb facing the west.
The tomb was made of piled stones. In front of the tomb stood a tombstone half a man's height. The tombstone was made of stone, and the edges and corners around it were not polished. It looked simple and crude. Only the words on the tombstone had gold hooks and iron strokes. Simple and vigorous.
The words engraved on the tombstone are: The tomb of Jiang Tiankui, the former Qitian King of the Tianlong Dynasty.
"Tiankui," Zeng Bufan murmured, "I brought a few fellow villagers from Tianlong Continent to see you. They brought this wine from Tianlong Continent. I think you will like it!"
After saying that, Zeng Bufan poured the wine in the pot in front of the grave.
Qing Duan and Chen all came forward respectfully and bowed.
Looking at this low tomb, the three of them were filled with emotion. One of the two great founders of the Tianlong Dynasty, King Qitian Jiang Tiankui, who was so powerful and powerful that he and his brother Jiang Tianlong were known as the Second Saints, were buried in this small pile of earth and rocks.
The glory and power of the past have long gone with the wind, and the empire he built with his own hands has also been renamed. However, his illustrious name is still there, and after thousands of years, he can still make his descendants sincerely admire him.
After paying homage to Jiang Tiankui, a few people walked back slowly and went down the hill. Jing'er, who had just been waiting at the foot of the hill, came over and followed Zeng Bufan.
Qingshi asked: "Mr. Zeng, where is Elder He of the Immortal Sword Sect? Where is his burial place? The three of us should also go and pay homage."
"He!" Zeng Bufan said with a bitter smile, "His bones are buried in the belly of a dragon monster. However, even if his bones are still there, I will cremate him and scatter his ashes in the wind. .Your master is also from the Immortal Sword Sect. Didn’t he tell you how the bones of the Immortal Sword Sect’s members are disposed of after they pass away?”
"Oh, that's right!" Qingshi understood and nodded, "I have heard of these unique rules of the Hidden World Sect, but I forgot them for a while."
"These rules are weird!" Duan Wutian said, "It would be great to build a tomb for future generations to worship, so that future generations can have a place to pay their respects!"
"Aren't you stupid again?" Chen Tianye said, "No one from the hidden sect will marry and have children, so how can there be any descendants!"
"Remembering our ancestors is mainly in our hearts," Jing'er said. "We sea people are naturally buried in the sea after death. Even you human sea people follow this custom. What's wrong? Do we have to find a place to bury our bones? If this is the case, after tens of thousands of years, this island will be full of graves and inhabited by dead people, and there will be no place for living people to live."
"That's right!" Chen Tianye touched his mustache and said with a smile, "Sister Jing'er is right!"
"What did you call me?" Jing'er's eyes widened angrily and she said angrily, "I'm almost two thousand years old, you brat, you've only lived a few years, how dare you call me sister? You're just as good as grandma!"
"This..." Chen Tianye was so embarrassed that he smiled and was speechless.
"I think it's good to call me sister Jing'er!" Duan Wutian said, "You are young and beautiful after you turn into a human form! You don't even look like twenty. If you call me grandma, doesn't that make you old? No. No, absolutely not!”
"Do you really think I'm young and beautiful?" Jing'er's anger disappeared, she smiled sweetly at Duan Wutian and asked, "How beautiful? More beautiful than your lover sister?"
"How can I have a sister who is my lover?" Duan Wutian's rough, old face turned red, "I think...I think you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen...well ~How should I put it? Even more beautiful than my mother!"
"Really?" Jing'er jumped for joy, "Okay then, I won't let you call me grandma, call me aunt... No, call me sister!"
"No, no, no!" Duan Wutian said naively, "You can't call me sister! You have to call me sister, you can only call me sister..."
"Okay!" Jing'er smiled sweetly, "Then I allow you to call me sister..."
Qingshi and Chen Tianye deliberately lagged behind, chuckling and overjoyed.
"Hey!" Jing'er turned back and stared at Qingshi and Chen Tianye, pretending to be angry, "Why are you two laughing?"
"Nothing!" Chen Tianye said with a smile, "Jing'erzu~milk~milk~"
"Bah!" Jing'er couldn't help but laugh, "You two, call me sister!"
Zeng Bufan walked at the front, with a rare smile on his sad old face.
