Although the elderly people in the Tian family are a bit old, they are not completely confused yet. It can be said that these disciples of our family who usually have a higher eye than the top can be said to be beautiful and beautiful on the outside, but in the middle of it. Even though he was in a barbarian place like Wuxi and lacked the aristocratic temperament of the Central Plains, he still felt that he was superior to others.
To be honest, in their hearts, although the Yang family is a rising star, it is even at its peak in Chu Land today. But for the Wada family, a large family with a history of more than a thousand years, they thought it was simply not worth mentioning. If it weren't for the fact that the Yang family was so amazingly powerful, the Tian family wouldn't even bother to pay attention to it given their temper.
As for the Fu family in their hearts, let alone a bunch of prodigal sons. I'm afraid that if the pillar of the family, Fu Yantong, falls, the Fu family will fall apart. Judging from the Fu family's foundation and background in Chu Di and Wuxi, they are just a confused upstart.
But facing the current situation in Chudi and even Wuxi, these old antiques from the Tian family are still very sober. After all, although the Tian family claims to have a transcendent status, in the past few decades, the forces surrounding Qianyang and Xuzhou, although the Tian family has intervened, they have only followed others. The real talkers in these places were the Fu family in the past few decades, and now the Yang family has strongly intervened and shared a share of the pie with the Fu family.
Faced with the current situation, the Tian family had to admit that their own family was completely unable to intervene in the division of these local forces. What's more, since the Tian family's direct line branched out earlier, there have been too many descendants who truly belong to the Tian family, and very few modern descendants with great courage. It's not that the Tian family is in decline and there are no outstanding children, it's actually that the children of these emerging families are stronger than the local children of the Tian family.
The Tian family's children disappeared on their own territory, and they still followed the Yang family's look, and seemed to be waiting for the Yang family to rescue them. Although Tian Sihao is the nephew of the head of the family, if something unexpected happens, even if it is reported to the head of the house to deal with it, it will be impossible to save the fire that is close by.
What's more, Tian Sihao's father, Tian Hongcun, is still friends with Yang Changping, and everyone knows that he is very likely to become the Yang family's son-in-law. What's more, the young lady of the Yang family has also disappeared on the Tian family's territory. If the Yang family takes advantage of the situation to cause trouble, this will not be a trivial matter.
The old antiques of the Tian family are all human beings, and these principles are more common than anyone else's. Even to appease the Yang family, everyone must not show impatience. Today is different from the past! Several old people were sitting on the seats. Although they looked as if nothing had happened, they were actually worried.
Tian Hongmao is the clan leader of the Yifang branch here. Although he is not the best descendant of the Tian family, he is still a rare talent in this group. Looking at his worried look, several old people knew the current situation, and if they expected him to solve it, there would definitely be no hope. Looking at Tian Hongmao's state, everyone sighed inwardly.
How can such descendants compare with others!
Looking at Yang Changping's gloomy face, several old people had different expressions. They were the only surviving elders of the Tian family. They were not afraid of Yang Changping's force, but thought of what the Tian family would do if the young lady of the Yang family was lost in the Tian family. Come and explain.
Although my family is not in decline, if this incident causes a dispute between the Tian family and the Yang family, I am afraid that my family will be wiped out from the family tree, and even the head of the family will not let it go. Looking at his son's demeanor in the hall, it seemed as if he was born half shorter than others. Even though Tian Hongmao was sitting in the main seat like a fox and a tiger, he still looked dignified, but he always felt that his waist was not thick enough.
They were not angry because of Yang Changping's demeanor. Their lives had been passing by for decades, and there was nothing they had not seen or experienced before. Even though my heart was in turmoil, I could still sit calmly, but my mind was constantly making calculations.
Naturally, they will be reminded of the complexity of this matter. It seemed to be just an ordinary disappearance case, but it suddenly became complicated due to the family involved.
The Tian family and the Yang family are not old friends. Although they seem to have some friendship now, the Tian family has always been the only one in Wuxi. The body is raised high, how can it be put down casually? However, as the years changed and the surrounding regimes changed, the Tian family, as a leader, would naturally suffer a big blow.
Many rising stars emerged in Wuxi, first the outstanding ones of the Peng family and the Ran family, and then wild horses like the Fu family appeared. In the past few decades, Wuxi was dominated by the Ran family, Peng family, and Fu family, and it seemed that the Tian family had suddenly become unknown.
Moreover, due to the changes in the political situation, the Yang family actually rose to prominence in Wuxi, and for a time, the Yang family and the Peng family and the Fu family took the limelight from the Tian family. Although the Tian family also wanted to suppress them, they were so powerless that some of the Tian family's descendants even wanted to protect them. Just like the Qianyang branch now, it can be said that they have been living under the eyes of the Fu family.
Not to mention that the Tian family has no talents, it is true that many years of good food and clothing have made many of the children completely lose their ambition to make progress. When the Chu Territory was in chaos, the Tian family was the first to be attacked. As a result, the head of the family had to lead his children to move to the territory of Shu in Wuxi to preserve the family's strength.
The several big families inherent in Wuxi did not benefit from the modern chaos, but instead became victims of the forces of the vassal town. While the feudal town was fostering new forces, it was suppressing the Tian family. Although the Tian family's foundation is still stable, the main backbone of the family has been broken down. Just like the Qianyang branch, the strength in Qianyang is obviously not as good as that of the Fu family and the Yang family.
In this incident, someone obviously took a fancy to this. It seems that something happened to the Tian family and the Yang family, and it has nothing to do with the Fu family. Now it is obvious that the Fu family is the most suspicious. Because the Fu family, which once laughed proudly at Wuxi, was based in Qianyang and Xuzhou. It was normal for the Fu family to deal with the Yang family and the Tian family, but even a blind man could see it. But now it has become the most abnormal.
The Tian family has too many enemies, and there are too many people who have to deal with the Tian family. It seems that the Tian family is the obvious victim. However, the incident happened on the territory of the Tian family. Although the children of the Tian family have also disappeared, only ghosts will believe it if they tell it now.
At least the Yang family wouldn’t believe it! The old antiques of the Tian family are sure that not only the Yang family will not believe it, but the Fu family will also feel that it is a bitter trick of the Tian family, and it is not even a bitter trick. Because it was lost in the Tian family, just hide Tian Sihao somewhere.
Originally a not very complicated matter, it was muddied up by someone who was interested. Now it can be said to be big or small.
The people of the Tian family know best, and they don't want to complain now, because in this incident, another child of the Tian family is missing, and this child is the nephew of the head of the family. This is not only a shame for the Tian family, but also a shame for several major families in Qianyang.
The mystery that suddenly emerged now involves almost the most authoritative people in Wuxi, and it is likely to cause a bloody storm. The children of his own family and the daughter of the Yang family's children disappeared. It was no longer a simple kidnapping, but probably contained a huge conspiracy. In an instant, everyone stopped pretending.
Sitting next to Tian Haoyun is an old man with white hair. This is his cousin Tian Haocun. Just when everyone sat down again, because Liu Jixing joined and a few of them rushed over after receiving the news, everyone was re-introduced and got to know each other.
It can be said that Tian Hongcun is currently the senior elder of the Tian family. Even among the children living in the same house in Qianyang, he is also the highest-ranking elder. When Tian Haoyun spoke just now, he sat aside and listened without making a sound.
Although he looked a bit majestic, he didn't seem to take the initiative to make a sound, and the whole person didn't feel so inaccessible. But after listening to what Tian Haoyun told everyone, his eyebrows wrinkled, and his aura became more majestic.
He raised his hand and pressed lightly in the air to signal Tian Haoyun to stop talking. Tian Haoyun beside him immediately stopped talking. He was obviously a little afraid of Tian Haocun. This fear came from the accumulation of majesty over a long period of time and was obviously not created in a day. Then everyone watched him clear his throat and knew he was about to speak.
This old man did look a bit majestic. He was already tall and burly. Sitting there, he looked a head taller than Tian Haoyun, but his voice was a bit hoarse. The voice he spoke was a bit surprising, and it felt completely different from the appearance of this person: "Although there are heroes from various races and families, some of you may have heard of the art of witchcraft, and some of you are still unfamiliar with it!"
He paused, looked around and saw that no one said anything, and then continued: "Everyone born and raised in Wuxi knows that the art of witchcraft and Gu is the basis for the survival of all the tribes in Wuxi. The art of witchcraft and Gu has been passed down from generation to generation. Not only are there endless secret techniques, but there are also countless weird and bizarre voodoo techniques! To survive and multiply here in Wuxi, people of all races who practice voodoo cultivation also emerge in an endless stream. Otherwise, how would they survive? To say that a kind of magic is practiced by people, Naturally, there are many inheritances, and it is not surprising that the Gu techniques you just saw, and even some unheard-of famous Gu techniques, are seen and heard by the world."
Because he was an older man and a senior farmer, no one intervened. He looks tall and majestic, but speaks slowly and leisurely, making people feel that he is worthy of an old man from a famous family.
Wan'er on the side was also brought in just now. After being discovered to be poisoned, she didn't have any further attacks. She didn't know when she got the poison. The man in black wanted to blow the bamboo flute to activate the poison in her body, but Liu Jixing stopped him abruptly.
She was so frightened that she seemed to have lost her soul. She was comforted by the disciples of the Tian family who were well versed in the art of witchcraft. She was sitting on a bench nearby. There was endless fear in her beautiful eyes. The unrecognizable Sister Cui was actually by her side. Even though she was already dead, she still managed to hold on and not fall down.
Anyone who knows her well knows that although she is no longer as charming as a girl, she was still as lovely as a beautiful woman. But looking at this miserable situation now, there is no trace of the original appearance, and they can't help but feel that the master of the Tian family is really cruel and ruthless.
Tian Hongcun's gaze shifted at this time, watching Cihe look at Wan'er quietly, which made Wan'er feel even more frightened. She looked at Tian Haocun with fear as if she had seen a ghost. The red lines emerging from the blood vessels on her face were still appearing and disappearing, but they were not as scary as they were at the beginning.
Tian Hongcun seemed to be pondering, and then said thoughtfully: "In this life, I have seen someone who has been infected by the blood poison, and she looks similar to this girl. However, at that time, the person suffered from the blood poison, but did not suffer from it. It takes a while to survive a meal!”
Sighing softly, Tian Hongcun seemed to remember something. It was a kind of thinking about reminiscing about the past. After a while, he turned his eyes to the beams in the hall, as if he could feel something there. But everyone can feel that there is a trace of fear in his eyes, which is real fear.
"It's so tragic! It's so tragic! Even now, decades later, when I recall the situation at that time, I can only say that I still feel chilled all over!" Tian Hongcun's voice seemed to be hoarse, and his eyes were cloudy. He slowly scanned the people in the hall, as if to see who didn't believe what he said.
He was not disappointed. Everyone was frightened by his expression and the feeling of speaking. He seemed to be somewhat satisfied. Looking at the unfamiliar faces of Liu Jixing, although they didn't look nervous, they still looked a bit solemn, and I couldn't help but take a breath. He closed his eyes slightly for a while, then suddenly opened his triangular eyelids again.
"Back then, I went to Sizhou City with the elders from my family in Qianzhou, because my family held a gathering in Sizhou City, which was the famous triennial competition among the various tribes in Wuxi Cave. Recalling the event that year Compared to the grand occasion, I still feel that it was an eye-opener for me!"
He seemed to be lost in memories and murmured: "The competition, which is rare in several years, has also been suspended due to wars, but it has always been a major event for the Five Streams tribes. Talents from all tribes are basically here. When someone comes up, everyone will usually go all out for themselves and their clansmen. I didn’t expect something unexpected to happen in that year’s competition!” Tian Hongcun paused for a moment. He might be a little old, thinking about what happened back then, or perhaps thinking about it. Use some words.
"Because the Tian family has always been the leader of the Five Streams clans, there have been dozens of great competitions over the past hundred years, and the conferences convened and held by the Tian family usually occupy a relatively large share. That year's great competition was held by the last head of the Tian family. , because of the holding of that competition, the Tian family has suffered heavy losses for decades!" Tian Haocun was a little sad, and his words were a little desolate.
Everyone stared at him closely, for fear of missing something. Liu Jixing on the side seemed to be listening with interest, but he was a little disapproving in his heart. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, according to my own understanding and investigation, the most famous families in Wuxi are the recently rising Fu family, Peng family and Yang family. As for the Xiang family, the Ran family, and some other families, they are all relatively old family forces.
The realm of Shu has never been admired because the road to Shu is difficult. Even when the Wuxi disciples moved there, they felt a little forced and helpless. Everyone has always considered Chuxi to be the foundation of all barbarians, just like the Peng family that rose to prominence after Peng Yao and occupied most of the territory in Chuxi. Although they still respect the Tian family, most of the local Tian family's children have become followers of the Peng family.
The Fu family also took advantage of the chaos to rise after the feudal town suppressed the Tian family, and once surpassed the momentum of the Peng family. During the chaos in Ma Chu, Fu Yantong led his army to plunder almost all the wealth of the Ma Chu family. His strong financial resources made him the most powerful family representative in Wuxi for a time. Although Fu Yantong was once powerful, he knew that his foundation was unstable, and his family did not have a descendant like Peng Shihao, so he once took refuge in the Central Plains feudal town and Zhou Xingfeng.
The Yang family is divided into two families. One is the Yang family of Dong people who have existed since ancient times, and the other is the Yang family of native barbarians who lived together as Han barbarians. The Dong barbarian Yang family has almost become history and is no longer worth mentioning. However, the Yang family, represented by Yang Zaisi, is still the pride and legend of Wuxi.
However, during this period, the Tian family did not have top-notch talents, and no one could compare with these people. Therefore, not only has the Tian family's momentum in Wuxi been greatly reduced, but it can also be said that without bold talents, the Tian family may gradually become history. Liu Jixing has studied these major families and feels that although the Tian family will not fall immediately, at least it is now a buffer for Wuxi.
A servant offered Tian Haocun a cup of tea. He took it and took a sip before putting it down. A pair of eyes seemed to be more lively, and he continued: "The competition that year produced two famous people, and both of them were later called wizards!"
He seemed to remember that time again, his eyes were a little reverie, and he murmured: "One is said to be from the sect of the old man, the witch god. I remember that people called him Tang Zhi, the Thousand Spiders and Hundred Poison Hands! The other unknown young man, But he is from a remote small cave tribe in western Chu, named Zheng Tuo, who later became the famous King of Hundred Poisons in the world!"
Mr. Tang, who was beside Yang Changping, had always been unknown. When he heard Tian Haocun talking about Zheng Tuo, the King of Poisons, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Jixing who was sitting beside him. Liu Jixing happened to look over and looked at Mr. Tang, as if he understood what he was thinking, and actually nodded.
Everyone in the audience listened to Tian Haocun's talk about ancient times, but Liu Jixing was a little surprised, because Zheng Tuo, the King of Poisons, was his current subordinate and was usually responsible for protecting Guo Jing. Before entering Chu, the secret party reported that he was accompanying Guo Jing to Shaozhou, which must be not far from here.
However, the transportation here was really inconvenient at this time. Xia Qinghou and Gao Yangyi were like the fastest means of transportation in later generations, and they could have arrived in one day. Only because he and Hua Rui were there, he had to slow down. It didn't matter if he had the true energy in his body, but Hua Rui couldn't stand the too fast speed.
If he wanted to see Guo Jing, he would definitely need to contact him, and his identity would be in danger of being leaked. Liu Jixing didn't want to do anything he wasn't sure of. Even though he had just come here and dealt with the man in black, Liu Jixing still didn't know the intentions of Xia Qinghou and Gao Yangyi. However, Liu Jixing was quite excited because he felt that his close combat ability was improving.
Everyone listened with great interest, and no one paid attention to Mr. Tang's expression. Tian Hongcun didn't even pay attention. Since there were not many seats, he didn't care about the people standing behind Yang Changping. It seemed that after talking for a while, he became more and more fluent.
"Because that Zheng Tuo was from an ordinary background and relied on an unknown wizard master to gain a foothold. However, it is said that he had a chance encounter and obtained an ancient book left by the Wuxi tribe, and he actually developed an impressive witchcraft. . In this competition, not only did he keep pace with Tang Zhi, but he was also said to be appreciated by the Archmage and the Gu God."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. In Wuxi, it is a rare occurrence in a hundred years for someone to be attracted by both the Archmage and the Gu God.
"But just when everyone was rejoicing that Wuxi had a talent, someone suddenly came and her appearance made the competition a mess that year!" Tian Hongcun seemed to have a sad feeling in his eyes, and he looked away calmly. The people in the cleaning room seemed to understand more about the meaning of life in their eyes.
"Who is so powerful!" Yang Changping on the side seemed not to know the secret of that year and couldn't help but ask. Because he knew that Tian Haocun would not say anything without reason, he naturally wanted to ask clearly about matters related to his daughter.
Tian Haocun did not blame Yang Changping for interrupting. Instead, he felt that someone was asking him, which made him more valuable. He picked up the tea cup again, took a sip, looked at everyone's anxious eyes, and then continued with satisfaction.
"This person is the All Saints Fairy that Seventeenth Brother just mentioned!" Tian Haocun said slowly word by word, but his eyes were filled with a strange flame: "She was still a famous person in Wuxi at that time, but She didn't show up for the competition, but one of her disciples, Green Snake Jia Ling'er, was killed in a mountain forest near the competition! Because of this incident, Fairy All Saints locked every family! Everyone who participated in the competition is not allowed to leave!”
Tian Haocun sighed softly, and his eyes seemed a little excited: "Although the fairy is famous, few of the young people that day, especially those who have just emerged, took it seriously, especially Tang Zhi and Zheng Tuo. A few of them didn't take it seriously. They actually ignored the fairy and sealed off the surrounding territory and wanted to leave there alone!"
His body began to tremble, his eyes looked at the empty space with fear, and his lips trembled slightly as he said: "Sure enough, something happened later. When I saw Tang Zhi, he and Zheng Tuo had already been infected by the fairy's blood poison! But later A certain family doesn’t know what happened!”
Tian Haocun did not relax at all, and seemed to become even more nervous. He said excitedly: "Although the two people were conceited, they were unable to untie the fairy's blood poison and bring out the old man, the poison god who was at the peak of his power back then."
He gently squinted his eyes, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and whispered softly: "That time when a certain person saw Tang Zhi's tragic death with his own eyes, our family lost five elders. What exactly happened was only gradually known later. The Gu God fought with the fairy, the fairy fled to the southwest, and Zheng Tuo also disappeared. Many families were affected by this incident. As for some details, some younger generations must know them, so I won’t be burdensome. "
"But the Tian and Yang families are both very important big families in Wuxi. Although the Tian family has a rigorous family tradition that has been passed down for a long time, it has always been popular. This time, people are using the Yang family's baby girl to make a fuss. It seems that these No one can think too small!"
He stared at Yang Changping quietly, his leopard eyes wide and full of energy, obviously wanting to prove that he had nothing to do with the Tian family. Seeing that Yang Changping didn't say anything, he continued angrily: "Now it's not just a matter of the safety of the two younger generations! They must hope that we will get into trouble first. It is best for several families to get entangled and fight, and they will naturally play into what they want. Someone thought Now we must protect our family first, and remain unchanged despite the ever-changing situation!”
Jiang is still old and spicy, and seems a little unkind and domineering, but Tian Haocun's words are right to the point. The perspective and method of looking at things are indeed very different from those of young people.
Yang Changping, who was sitting there struggling and a little impatient, suddenly woke up and understood that for the Tian family, Tian Sihao's importance was no less important than his own daughter. Of course, if they wanted to deal with the Yang family, they couldn't only look for their own daughter.
He and Tian Hongcun are friends, so some people may feel uncomfortable, and some people in the Tian family may also feel uncomfortable. But just saying who did it, this matter is not something that an ordinary family can bear. Now it seems that things are still too simple. After being reminded by Tian Haocun, Yang Changping's thinking became even clearer. If you are led by the nose, then it is obvious that the people in the dark are playing into their hands.
If it is related to the three people Tian Haoyun mentioned, I am afraid that it is no longer something that ordinary families can handle, because they no longer represent power, but a kind of local spirit in Wuxi. Who can resist this kind of spirit. The most important thing at this time is, why do people want to go against his own family? Is it really because a big tree attracts wind?
No matter which family this matter is related to, or someone wants to disturb the muddy waters of several major families in Qianyang, it has obviously been planned for a long time. He couldn't help but look at Mr. Tang who was standing at the side, and saw that he was looking at Liu Jixing sitting next to him, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Master Liu happened to be meeting, I don't know what he thinks about this matter!" Yang Changping actually cautiously handed over to Liu Jixing, which was a kind of respect for the respected person. Ever since Liu Jixing appeared, he had always believed that Liu Jixing would never appear for no reason.
There is also an indescribable feeling, that is, the young man sitting next to him, although he is dressed in weird and ordinary cloth, has an indescribable nobility. Although Yang Changping has an irritable temper and personality, he is still considered to be from a famous family. Seeing this kind of nobility that is invisible radiating from the other person's body is not something that ordinary people can imitate.
The man in black committed suicide just now. It was obvious that the other party was a soldier specially trained by someone. In order not to leak the secret, they were able to sacrifice their lives without hesitation. How much courage and sacrifice it took. Yang Changping had no idea and couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Jixing.
Dead soldiers are dead soldiers, and dead soldiers are also a respectable group of people.
Death warriors are also a formidable group of people! Not even afraid of death, nothing can stop them.
Liu Jixing sat there, listening to everyone's chat, but he never participated. Because he heard from time to time the voices of Xia Qinghou and Gao Yangyi outside. It was not Liu Jixing who discovered the man in black who had just arrived to stop him, but Gao Yangyi who had alerted him in advance and allowed him to control the man in black at the critical moment.
Gao Yangyi and Pengcuo have been together for decades. As the most respected master of Wuxi, how can ordinary people understand Pengcuo. Gao Yangyi naturally knew Phuntsok very well, and he also knew the secret techniques that Phuntsok was good at. What made Liu Jixing a little depressed was that he didn't expect the man in black to suddenly commit suicide.
Seeing Yang Changping suddenly asking himself, Liu Jixing paused even though he had already prepared for this. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Jixing said calmly without changing his expression: "General Yang is too polite! What do you think? I just came across this incident by chance when I first came here!"
Seeing everyone's expressions of disbelief, he said, "But I heard what the senior said about the Tao. Cultivate the gu with the heart, the gu follows the heart, serve the gu with the body, and the gu and the body become one! Although I don't understand it very well, I still know the general idea. . But the cultivation of a magical famous Gu is the result of the exhaustion of effort in cultivating the Gu. How can it be easily shown to others? What's more, a celebrity like Gu Shen Xiangqiang, and a person with status like the All Saints Fairy people?"
"Is there someone else in the world who has made blood poison?" Fu Zhongquan also frowned, he believed this matter very much. The names of the Gu God and the All Saint Fairy were very familiar to him, but he was quite unfamiliar with the name of the Hundred Poison King Zheng Tuo, and he couldn't help but look at Tian Haocun over there.
Gu God moves forward!
Halloween Fairy Butterfly!
The King of Poisons, Qiqi!
They are all famous for their poison!
Being scornful of peers is a common problem among people throughout history!
Since they are all famous for their poison, they will naturally be particularly sensitive to people who are also famous for their poison. As prestigious figures in this world, you can imagine the struggles these people usually have.
What's more, as a famous person, he will cherish his own existence even more.
