Xiao Zaili's head was buzzing. Although he heard Xiao Qianqiu's next words, he only heard them. All his thoughts were still in the conversation just now. Ancestor... What Ancestor meant was Yunxi... Maybe something unexpected has happened to Yunxi Sect, one of the seven immortal sects? This completely subverted his previous understanding!
Every child of the Xiao family who has received basic education in the clan knows that the Seven Immortal Sects are the leaders of all the monks in the world. They possess countless profound secrets and brilliant monks, and have been the rulers of this world since ancient times. A long time ago, it was Yun Five monks from the Xi Sect crossed the Yuexi Mountain, taught Taoism, and created the Five Yuexi Kingdoms from the barbarian wilderness. After that, the monks from the Five Kingdoms all regarded it as a supreme honor to study in the Yunxi Sect, even if they went there It is said that it will take a hundred years, but there are still only those who are unqualified and there are no ones who don't want to go - the Yunxi Sect comes to the Five Kingdoms of Yuexi every five hundred years to select talents, which does not mean that they will definitely take away a few people every five hundred years!
In Xiao Zaili's most arrogant dream, he could only imagine how happy he would be if one of his children was chosen! By then, Xiao Qianqiu can no longer be regarded as the "No. 1 True Immortal" in front of their family! It was because this idea was so crazy that he put it away after just thinking about it. Xiao Zaili's ambition was only this small. After all, his own qualifications were only ordinary, and he had no regard for Xiao Qianqiu and his current status. dissatisfied. Unlike Xiao Ruge, he is an experienced adult. He fully understands that Xiao Xinglong's misfortune is a great blessing to his family. If something had not happened to Xiao Gongqiao's only son, how could it be his family's turn to enjoy the benefits given to the direct lineage of a true immortal? What about resources?
Now Xiao Qianqiu told him that something big might have happened to the Yunxi Sect! In the minds of the Yuexi Five Kingdoms monks, something big may have happened to the Yunxi Sect, which is like a kingdom in the sky!
He shook his head, tried hard to get rid of the surprise, and tried to start analyzing the less bad possibilities. He knew nothing about the current situation of the Yunxi Sect. Fortunately, he still had some understanding of the situation in Qingzhou City. "Ancestor, merchants from the Danxia Kingdom still come to our Qingzhou City to trade. This year, the goods sold are more than in previous years. It doesn't look like there is a big chaos." The gold, silver, cinnabar and other products produced in the Danxia Kingdom Common minerals are the raw materials used to draw talismans and refine weapons on Qiyun Peak. Every time a caravan enters the city, it will be immediately placed in the Xiao family's warehouse, waiting for the Xiao family to distribute their goods. Therefore, as the elder in charge, Xiao Zaili is still concerned about this. Understand the situation.
After he said this, he calmed down a lot, but saw Xiao Qianqiu smile slightly: "You mean we still have one year."
Businessmen from Danxia Kingdom, like businessmen from other countries, only leave once a year at most.
Xiao Zaili's throat was suddenly blocked again. He didn't mean it like this...but, he...he really didn't want to admit that Xiao Qianqiu's words had any real possibility! In his understanding, the laws of this world are like the orbit of the sun. Winter and spring are slightly different, and they don't rise every day. But now tell him that the sun will never appear in the future?
His world is uniform, orderly and close to perfection. He is a descendant of the Xiao family, a middle-class family in the Kingdom of Hundred Eyes. He has a pair of well-qualified children. In the future, one of them will become a true immortal before he closes his eyes. , marrying a prestigious family, taking the whole family to a higher level, maybe he can join the Yunxi Sect and be the envy of the entire Baiyan Kingdom. Even if they can't do it, as the elder of the Xiao family, as long as he works for the Xiao family according to the rules, he will be able to He can get a life with abundant returns, and his expectations for the future are as confident as those wealthy farmers who own their own rural houses and do not owe money. They feel that famine is far away from them, but they have no plans to face the disaster of war!
He really has no such plan! The Xiao family has lived peacefully on Qiyun Peak for thousands of years. Monsters and wild cultivators usually can only cause harm to the place. Like the black clouds in the previous episode, they were the most powerful he had ever seen. They were suppressed by Xiao Yinyun with one hand. Got it! With three true immortals sitting in charge, what immortal family dares to stand directly opposite the Xiao family? He has always had this kind of confidence, so he has never considered how the Xiao family should deal with a truly powerful enemy.
"Ancestor, if we only have one year...how should we prepare?" Xiao Zaili actually didn't want to ask this question. He wished that today's conversation had never happened.
"Not prepared." Xiao Qianqiu's answer was very straightforward.
"What!"
"Because you don't want to prepare at all," Xiao Qianqiu explained: "You hope that today will be the same as tomorrow, and next year will be the same as this year. The years pass like water, the young get old, and new people come and get old again. What do you think? Things are always like this, after one day there will be many more days, the haze of the storm is already hanging over your heads, and yet you are not even willing to throw the cargo into the water, let alone the sailors?"
Xiao Zaili finally understood the reason why Xiao Qianqiu left in a hurry the day before yesterday. He didn't care at all about the Chang family, He family, Du family, and Jing family he was talking about!
He was disappointed in them! Totally disappointed!
"Ancestor...you are always a member of the Xiao family." He finally said this.
"So I'm still here." Xiao Qianqiu said with a half-smile. He had made some preparations. However, seeing Xiao Zaili's appearance, he was not going to tell him more about the situation, because those preparations and The "preparation" that Xiao Zaili would think of is not a concept at all.
"Stop," Ujda said.
The boat transformed into a crab demon secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing it can be thankful for now is that he has successfully lost weight during these days of traveling! It would be a big mistake for Ujda to stew it now! She would never be able to stew crab meat again. At most, she could stew a pot of crab shell soup, and crab shell soup was not as nourishing as turtle shell soup. It... "Shut up!" There seemed to be someone who was upset. The voice echoed in its pitifully small mind, and the crab demon successfully ignored it.
Ujida's bare feet stepped back and forth on its carapace, as if it had been disturbed by something. This was an unprecedented scene along the way. This made the crab demon finally stop thinking about crab shell soup and turtle shell soup. Zhong raised his head and looked into the distance.
The majestic Qingzhou City is clearly visible in the sky. The long green city wall can't be seen to the end. With the vision of a crab demon, you can see the numerous buildings in the city where the wealthy families show off their wealth. The roofs of those buildings are shining with colorful glazed and gold. The silver decoration makes every traveler who sees this wonder for the first time marvel. He speeds up his pace in the hope of seeing more prosperity and magnificence in the city as soon as possible. But Ujda, who has been urging it forward all the way, orders it to stop at this time?
However, the crab demon's doubts only lasted for a moment.
It tastes the blood and blood that humans cannot taste.
"This city..." the crab demon spoke hesitantly. This time, she was not scolded by Ujda. She continued naturally: "It will be as desolate as a wilderness in three days."
