On a small island attached to the Minzhong Fairy Mountain, the lord of Youzhou City purchased a house, which he called "Zulongyin". It was a magnificent house with three entrances and three exits. Because it was built along the sea and close to the Fairy Mountain, the house had a strong aura. People are in a place with excellent feng shui.
Yan Nianxin was sitting in the main hall of the second entrance. He was wearing a cloak hood because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed. Elder Scorpion is much bigger than him, so the hood of this cloak is also very wide, covering most of his face.
There was a person sitting opposite him. The person had dark skin, a tall and thin figure, and was dressed in a blue gown. He looked a little tired, but his eyes were sparkling, making people feel awe when they saw him.
And his unique voice and his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Yan Nianxin would never forget it in his life. He could guess who this person was without him having to tell him his family name. The person opposite was none other than General Qi Wuwei, the defender of Youzhou City, a close friend of his adoptive father Yan Mingxiu.
Qi Wuwei's mood at this moment was not as relaxed as that of his opponent, Yan Nianxin. After he asked the black-robed elder to take a seat, he carefully looked at the person in front of him. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this person was quite familiar to him, but he couldn't tell who it was because of this long-lost familiarity.
Seeing that the person opposite had a hood covering his face, Qi Wuwei's doubts became even more intense. Because he was also from Beiyou, he was relatively familiar with the elders of the Huan Mie Sect.
Some elders did not have much respect for the people in Chen Gong's mansion, but they were very familiar with Qi Wuwu because he was once Huan Xin'er's close friend, which was something that the entire Huan Mie Sect knew.
The elder of the Huan Mie Sect in front of him smashed the door of the front room as soon as he appeared, forcing General Xuezhuang to almost expose the important affairs of the house. But now when facing him, this elder was so reserved and few words, completely unlike the way he had just faced Xuezhuang.
Qi Wuwei saw the black-robed elder sitting blankly in his seat without saying a word, so he had to speak first: "Where did the immortal master come from? Youzhou has just been lifted from the ban, so it's time to go out and stretch your muscles. I don't know what Master Huan has." Order..."
When Yan Nianxin heard Qi Wuwei's words, he could hardly hold back his excitement. He really wanted to step forward and recognize him, but his adoptive father Yan Mingxiu had made it clear to him before: Don't recognize people from Beiyou easily!
Yan Nianxin knew that his adoptive father had his own considerations, and he also knew that his adoptive father had been looking for opportunities to avenge his mother. But that enemy is his biological father. Can he really kill his enemy with his own hands?
When he saw Qi Wuwei and the elder of the Huan Mie Sect he was pretending to speak so politely, he was inevitably a little surprised in his heart.
You must know that Huan Mie Sect has always been a sect that shouts and kills in the world of cultivation. Even though ten years have passed, the world of cultivation has not forgotten what Huan Qianqiu did ten years ago. It can be seen from the reactions of the monks at the sword test meeting that the monks from various sects have not forgiven the Huan Mie Sect!
But Yan Nianxin didn't know that Qi Wuyi was so courteous to the elders of the Huan Mie Sect. Apart from the fact that they were both from Beiyou and were bound by interests, the intricate relationships and emotions involved were beyond what Yan Nianxin could understand.
Yan Nianxin did not see clearly the situation in Beiyou. Seeing that Qi had asked so many questions in vain, he had to put aside his thoughts temporarily and lowered his voice and replied: "General Qi is polite, as the general said, I just happened to pass by here.
Dongcang is full of spiritual energy, and there are secret realms and fairy mountains everywhere. Any mountain or swamp you reach is a good place for practice. Unlike the northern spiritual energy, which is exhausted, it is like a purgatory on earth! "
Yan Nianxin's answer was said indiscriminately without thinking, because Beiyou has been closed for ten years and the world does not understand the situation in Beiyou. What he said is the entire impression of Youzhou in the cultivation world.
However, Yan Nianxin's words unintentionally touched the deepest sensitivity in Qi Wuwei's heart. Qi Wuwei, who had been full of witty words just now, was now like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely lifeless, and his bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
Yan Nianxin saw all these changes in Qi Wuwei. Looking at Qi Wuwei's thin, dry, and somewhat stooped body, Yan Nianxin felt like a lump in his throat, and he regretted what he said.
Just as the two of them were speechless, a woman's sweet laughter came into the main hall: "Oh, this elder is so eloquent that he silenced General Qi. It's really rare!"
Yan Nianxin knew that this was the voice of the woman next to Xuezhuang, "Jiao Niang". He was originally wary of that "Jiao Niang". With the coquettish voice, he immediately heard a trace of zhenqi fluctuations in the laughter. It seemed that It really tests the reality of his skills.
Yan Nianxin knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he simply activated all his skills to let the other party find out clearly. At the same time, he secretly recited a mantra in his heart, wanting to explore the other party's depth.
What he recited was a heart mantra evolved from the Qingxin Jue of the Cangxu Sect. This spell is good at tearing apart the monk's defense disguised with dark attributes. Coupled with the torture effect of some heart-searching charms, it is most effective in dealing with the mastermind hidden behind the monk.
Originally, Yan Mingxiu developed this mantra in order to wait for the black-robed masked man holding the "Heart-eating and Bone-eating Devil Hybrid Sword" to appear, so that he could use it on him to detect clues about the person behind the scenes. Yan Nianxin today I used it on this "little girl" first.
This mantra is extremely powerful and consumes a lot of energy and mental energy. Yan Nianxin concentrated on reciting it silently with all his strength. When Jiao Niang twisted her body and came closer, Yan Nianxin just finished reciting.
Just hearing a "puff" sound, the charming girl suddenly leaned over and vomited blood from her mouth. Then Jiao Niang stumbled, fell to the ground with a thump, and became motionless.
Yan Nianxin did not expect that the torture spell would be so violent. The beauty who was still alive just fell to the ground in an instant. He was so frightened that he stood up from his seat, lifted the hood on his face, and leaned over to check on the girl on the ground.
Yan Nianxin stretched out his two fingers and put them on Jiao Niang's wrist. This probing didn't matter. He was so frightened that he fell backwards and fell to the ground. He took a breath and said, "Dead!"
Just when Yan Nianxin fell to the ground, an angry voice sounded in the air: "You are so brave. You only dare to investigate your country's master with only a golden elixir level cultivation. Today I will let you have a taste of being cursed by the heart." The taste of backlash!”
The voice became louder and louder from far away, and the last few words were full of anger, and powerful spiritual pressure exploded in the air. After all, Yan Nianxin was just a young boy who had just entered the world. He had never seen such strong spiritual pressure before. He was so frightened that he just sat there, unable to move at all.
Just when the spiritual pressure fell on Yan Nianxin, Qi Wuwei, who was sitting next to Yan Nianxin, suddenly stood up from his chair.
With a "thump", he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to the spiritual pressure, and shouted: "Master Lu, calm down, please spare his life for this naughty boy!"
The reason why Qi Wuwei stood up to plead for the black-robed elder was because he recognized the black-robed elder's identity.
The moment Yan Nianxin opened the hood in a hurry, he immediately saw the familiar shadows of the two people on his young cheeks.
Coupled with some of the information Qi Wuwei had obtained before, he immediately concluded that the young man in front of him was the youngest son of Huan Xin'er and Chen Linggong, so he knelt down to plead for the young man so carelessly.
That spiritual pressure seemed to be able to see the scene in the main hall. General Qi Wuyi, who was usually upright and upright, actually knelt down to beg him for a young man today.
The person behind the spiritual pressure was very proud. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Oh? It's rare for General Qi to ask for help. I'm very curious about the true identity of this boy pretending to be the elder of the Huan Mie Sect!"
When Qi Wuwei heard this, he secretly thought something bad. He knew that if Master Lu knew the identity of the young man, then Chen Linggong would have discovered a weakness. Then I'm afraid...
Just when Qi Wuwei was worried, the strong pressure disappeared, and the previous calm returned to the hall. Only Qi Wuwei, who was kneeling on the ground, Yan Nianxin, who was sitting on the ground, and the body in front of him, which had gradually become cold, were left, as if the spiritual pressure had never appeared.
Qi Wuwei breathed a sigh of relief when his spiritual pressure was lifted. He quickly leaned forward to check on the young man on the ground, and said worriedly: "Little boy, how do you feel? Are you okay?"
The feeling of oppression disappeared, and Yan Nianxin's tightened chest suddenly relaxed. As he yelled "ah", the breath he was holding went up.
Yan Nianxin raised his eyes and saw Qi Wuwei looking so anxious that he was about to cry, and knew that he had been recognized. After experiencing the scene just now, he couldn't hold back any longer. He jumped into Qi Wuyi's arms and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Qi, I miss you so much..."
Qi Wuwei was almost knocked over by Yan Nianxin. He patted the young man's back and asked softly: "Little boy, tell Uncle Qi what name your adoptive father gave you!"
In Beiyou, many wealthy families will not name their children until they are one month old. This custom is related to the folk customs of Beiyou, because Beiyou people like to use the principle of the five elements to complement each other.
One month after birth, a child's five internal organs have already taken shape, what he should eat and what he should sleep in has been formed into habits, and his life is relatively stable. At this time, the child's "destiny" has also been finalized, and the full moon is a suitable time to give a good name that is consistent with the destiny.
But the youngest son of Huan Xin'er and Chen Linggong was not named even when he was two years old. When it comes to the whole story, we have to start with Duke Chen’s ancestors.
The title of the Chen family is hereditary. The first Duke of Chen was awarded the title when the Zhao family was in power. This honor continued until the Mu family succeeded to the throne.
With the change of dynasties, the Mu family divided the Guangchuan continent into four states: east, west, south and north, which were governed by four fiefdom kings, namely the four city lords of Dongcang, Nanqiong, Xiliang and Beiyou. Most of the vassal kings were held by members of the Mu clan, and only the lord of Beiyou City was Duke Chen, a vassal king with a different surname.
I don’t know whether it’s because the geomantic omen of Beiyou is different, or whether the Chen family’s energy is exhausted. Ever since Duke Chen came to Beiyou as the city lord, all previous Youzhou city lords have been short-lived ghosts.
As more and more Duke Chen passed away, the Chen family began to think of various ways to solve this problem. Yi Gua, physiognomy, five elements, Kanyu, etc., as long as there is a famous fortune teller somewhere, the reigning Duke Chen will go to find it and pay a lot of money to go to the palace of the lord of Youzhou City to divine for the Chen family.
The fortune teller has done a good job, but there is no improvement at all. The reigning city lord still will not live to be thirty years old. Later, the Chen family accepted their fate and regarded it as a wealthy family prone to evil spirits and attracting unclean things.
This curse was not broken until the current Lord of Youzhou City, Chen Linggong, succeeded him as the Lord of the City. When Chen Linggong lived past the age of thirty, it was spread among the people in Beiyou that Chen Linggong was destined to kill Po Lang.
This destiny is a destiny formed by the Seven Kills, Pojun, and Greedy Wolf rounds in the Ziwei Dou Shu. There are good things about this horoscope, but there are also bad things at the same time.
Different from the lonely star of Tiansha, under the influence of the eight-character pattern of Sha Po Lang, a person will be wandering throughout his life. Such people will not have a stable residence and have to move around in order to get a chance to survive.
Chen Linggong was a man who had been wandering around since he was a child. Chen Linggong's real name is Chen Lingchen. His father is not a direct blood relative of the Chen family, but a man who joined the army under the guard of the demon border border. Even Chen Lingchen was born when the defenders were changing defenses.
If it weren't for the untimely death of the Lord of Youzhou City, Chen Lingchen, a powerless "outsider", might not be able to inherit the position of Duke Chen in a few lifetimes. The birth of Chen Lingchen and Huanxin's son made Chen Lingchen, who was not afraid of anything, worry in his heart.
Chen Linggong was afraid that the fate of the Chen family's "young death" would befall his son, so he wore a jade pendant on his young son that concealed his fate. This jade pendant was imitated from the Zhao family's jade lock that covered the sky. In addition, Chen Linggong did not give the child a name, hoping to keep him away temporarily.
Of course, Yan Nianxin didn't know these things. He only knew that his name had always been "Yan Nianxin", so he casually replied: "My foster father's surname is Yan, so he named me Nianxin!"
Qi Wuwei shook his head slightly when he heard this and sighed. He stared at Yan Nianxin's face for a long time, looking for a hint of familiarity between his brows and eyes.
Yan Nianxin has a cold appearance, and his facial features are more similar to his father. When he is not smiling, he looks exactly like Chen Linggong. But when he smiled, there was tenderness between his brows and eyes.
Qi Wuwei quickly caught the tenderness and said tremblingly: "Nian Xin looks like my mother..."
When Yan Nian heard the news, a feeling of joy arose in his heart, and he smiled and said, "It's good to be like my mother!"
Here, Yan Nianxin is at the "Zulongxuan" on the west coast, where he has a chance to recognize and reminisce with old friends. At the port on the east coast of the island, Ji Beichen and Jing Xiaowei had already mingled with the ship boss.
Jing Xiaowei saw that the captain of the ship was gradually letting down his guard, so he asked tentatively: "Brother, I heard that there are hurtful sea monkeys on the east coast. What's going on? My friends and I are all here to visit the island. I don’t want to hand over my life here!”
When the boss of the ship heard the three words "Sea Monkey", his sincere face just now was immediately filled with cunning. He changed his words and said: "Hey, what are the sea monkeys and not sea monkeys? Who can tell clearly about the things in the sea?" . I see that my little brother is tall and thin, and he is a good swimmer with long arms and legs. Why don’t you come with me to explore this sea monkey!"
When Jing Xiaowei heard about swimming, he quickly took over and said: "Swimming is not a problem for me. As for the sea monkey, I would like to wait for a while to see if its claws are stronger or my dagger is stronger!" "
While speaking, Jing Xiaowei pulled out a black dagger from his cuff and pulled it out of the scabbard with a bang. The dagger was completely black, and the blade exuded a strong dark attribute energy.
Ji Beichen felt something unusual about the dagger and knew that Jing Xiaowei was testing the boss of the ship. He turned sideways and whispered to Jing Xiaowei: "Xiaowei, the boss of this ship obviously wants us to be the vanguard to clear the way for him..."
Jing Xiaowei knew Ji Beichen's concerns, so she turned to comfort him and said, "Brother Ji, don't worry, Canglan Sea is where I have lived since I was a child, and things in the sea don't dare to hurt me!"
