Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 405 The plan is huge

Xie Qiutao was held in Miss Qiu's arms and her mouth was covered. Although she knew not to be too extreme, she had been wandering for many years and met her loved ones again. She felt endless longing and difficulty in understanding. It was not easy to calm down.

"Woo..."

Xie Qiutao stared straight at the woman on the ground, her clear eyes blurred with tears.

Seeing the woman stunned, Shangguan Yutang had already let go of her hand. Just to be on the safe side, he reminded: "You'd better keep quiet."

As he spoke, he looked at Zuo Lingquan beside him:

"Have you touched enough?"

Zuo Lingquan was so focused on Qiutao's mother and daughter, she really didn't notice the five fingers caught between the plump tufts.

After being reminded by the ancestor, Zuo Lingquan let go of the soft hand, and kept looking at Qiutao who came over.

Miss Qiu's thoughts were also on Qiutao, she even forgot to think deeply about the old ancestor's words of "being used to it", she put her arms around Qiutao and said softly:

"Don't get excited, this is not the place to talk."

The woman on the ground, after staying for a while, was probably awakened by Miss Qiu's words, and quickly got up from the ground:

"Why did you come here... Come on, don't stay here, come with me..."

As she spoke, the woman took some sets of robes from the Linglong Pavilion, and the badges engraved with the emblem, and handed them to several people, her gaze was always on Qiu Tao in Miss Qiu's arms.

Shangguan Yutang didn't really trust this woman who was supposed to be a prisoner of a foreign race, but with his eyesight that had seen all the joys and sorrows of the world, he could see that the woman's feelings for her daughter were not fake. He raised his hand to take the robe, and gently hooked it with her. on the body.

Xie Qiutao's covered mouth was released, but she clenched her teeth tightly and did not speak. After looking at the woman, she lowered her head and put her clothes on her body silently.

The woman was obviously a little disappointed and felt unspeakable guilt in her heart. She did not dare to go over and hug the little girl who had grown into a big girl. After taking a look at everyone, she turned and walked towards the lake.

Zuo Lingquan turned around and patted Qiu Tao on the back, then followed her. Although he had been paying attention to Qiu Tao, from the corner of his eye, he also noticed that Miss Qiu was looking at the woman's back in a daze.

Zuo Lingquan hesitated, and asked in his heart: "What's wrong?"

Miss Qiu noticed Zuo Lingquan's inquiry, tilted her head and made eye contact, then shook her head without saying anything.

Zuo Lingquan could roughly guess that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. When seeing other people reunited, they would inevitably think of themselves when seeing things. He couldn't enlighten him about this kind of thing here, so he didn't say anything more.

The river bend is not far from Black Tortoise Lake. The woman walked in front and led a few people to the garden beside the lake. They walked on a secluded path and approached the back door of a house.

The house is very empty, and you can hear some human voices and the low sounds of animals on the shore of the lake outside.

The woman entered a living room in the house, looked around a few times to make sure no one was paying attention, and then closed the door.

As soon as the shielding formation was opened, the woman changed into a different person in an instant. She could no longer hold back her suppressed emotions. She ran over and hugged Qiu Tao, who was standing there blankly, with tears streaming down her face:

"Qiu Tao..."

Xie Qiutao gritted her teeth tightly and made no sound, but she couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't hug her mother, whom she had missed for many years day and night, but was reluctant to push her away, so she just kept silent.

Shangguan Yutang shook his head slightly, sat down next to the tea table, and said in a calm tone:

"Good and evil are not mutually exclusive. Let's talk about the business first. It won't be too late to talk about old times later."

Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu were also wary in their hearts and kept paying attention to the woman, but they couldn't speak too directly. Zuo Lingquan said:

"Sit down first. Qiu Tao has been thinking about Aunt Xie these years. She has searched all over the country for her whereabouts, but unfortunately she has found nothing. Why did Aunt Xie come here?"

The woman knew why Qiu Tao was so cold to her, and she also knew that several people doubted her position and wanted to check her background.

The woman reluctantly let go of her hand, sat down next to Yutang, suppressed the waves in her heart, and said softly:

"My name is Xie Wen, I am the forty-sixth generation grandson of Black Tortoise, and I am also the current head of the family; back then, our family of three was approached by monks of different races, and in order to prevent Qiutao from falling into the enemy's hands, we threw Qiutao into the sea , Desperately blocked; helplessly, it was Primordial Origin Heavenly Venerable Zhang Zhilu who made the move, and our husband and wife were not opponents at all, and we even hoped to die, so we were caught on the spot."

Zuo Lingquan heard the ancestor talk about Primordial Origin Heavenly Venerable Zhang Zhilu, the second in command of the Kui Bingzhou Human Race, whose status is about the same as that of the Emperor Emperor, he is indeed a giant. He asked:

"Is it for the Black Tortoise bloodline inherited by the Xie family that a person of this level personally takes action against you?"

Xie Wen nodded lightly: "When the first Patriarch of the Xie family fought against the Heavenly Demon outside the territory, he was favored by the Lord of Heaven and became an envoy of the Heavenly Official; although the ancestor passed away in Ascension in the end, this bloodline has been passed down through more than forty generations. Diluted, it is still stronger than other creations of heaven and earth, and it is the purest power of Black Tortoise in the world. Alien races have gathered the power of gods in Jiuzhou for nearly a hundred years, and we have become the primary target."

Shangguan Yutang nodded slightly: "You still have good moral character, why didn't the aliens touch you in the end?"

This was the question that everyone was most concerned about. Xie Qiutao pursed her lips, obviously wanting to ask "Did you defect with your father?", but the question could not be asked.

Like Qiutao, Xie Wen has been adhering to the family motto since she was a child and is incompatible with demons. She obviously feels guilty when talking about this matter. She said softly:

"After Zhang Zhilu captured our couple, he was going to melt Bone Refining blood on the spot to extract the power of Black Tortoise, but Mei Jinshui from the north came over and stopped Zhang Zhilu."

At this point, seeing that Shangguan Yutang looked wrong, Xie Wen added:

"I'm not saying that Mei Jinshui is a good person who abides by the righteous way. Mei Jinshui is the leader of a foreign race, with a very clear purpose, and stands on the absolute opposite side of the righteous way; but Mei Jinshui's way of doing things is different from other foreign races. Focusing on attacking the heart, she will teach by example and instill her own ideas in her subordinates, so that the subordinates agree with her beliefs from the bottom of their hearts.

"Shang Yin has a lot of strong people under his command, but many of them are profit-seeking people who only obey the strong and know how to protect themselves; Mei Jinshui is not the case. There are not many people under his command, but all of them are diehards. In order to uphold the way, they can be brave Not afraid of death, enduring for thousands of years without making a move, in terms of skill, Mei Jinshui is better than Shang Yin."

A person with such a strong backbone in Shangguan Yutang, under the influence of Mei Jinshui, took the initiative to pay homage to the pier in Xiangyang City, and he knew in his heart how powerful Mei Jinshui was. She asked:

"Were you influenced by Mei Jinshui's words and switched to her camp?"

Xie Wen shook his head: "To cut off the Tao of Longevity, the ancestors of the Xie family contributed a lot. As a descendant, how could I go against the beliefs of my ancestors, no matter what Mei Jinshui said, I didn't shake my Dao heart, I just wanted to die.

"But sometimes, begging for death is a coward's act. Mei Jinshui told me a very simple truth at that time - my death cannot change the fact that a foreign race has taken away Black Tortoise's divine power, and my blood is simply not enough , in order to achieve their goals, the aliens, whether they want to or not, must continue to search for the scattered members of the Xie family, as well as the creatures of the Black Tortoise lineage, including you who just escaped. They can chase, but they didn't. .

"If I don't want to see this situation, I can only change to a gentle method - to cultivate spirit beasts that contain the blood of Black Tortoise, and let them voluntarily contribute part of the power of the blood in their bodies, and add up to achieve their goals. What can be done in the world? The only people involved in this matter are you and me. If I don’t agree, it will save the alien race a lot of trouble and just kill them all the way.”

Xie Wen looked at the tearful Qiu Tao: "Mother doesn't want to contribute to the alien race, but the two evils are the lesser of two evils. If there is no way to stop them, I can only choose to save most of the creatures and even your life... "

After Shangguan Yutang listened quietly, he nodded slightly:

"This is a helpless move, and it's not your fault."

Xie Qiutao knew that her mother would not collude with evil heretics, so she pursed her lips and asked:

"Dad, what's going on? I saw it at Shenhao Sect..."

"Your father is not a Xie family member."

When Xie Wen talked about her husband, he showed a bit of helplessness:

"He doesn't care about the Xie family's ancestral precepts at all, he only cares about whether you and I are safe. It is impossible for foreign races to completely trust me, and the reason for keeping you outside is to let me do things for them in a down-to-earth manner, and I can't afford to disagree.

"In order to prevent you from getting involved in this matter, your father made an agreement with Mei Jinshui. Mei Jinshui will ensure that you grow up safely and then give up monitoring you; he will help Mei Jinshui with errands and take your place. Make sure I don't have any objections.

"Mom accepts disciples here because these children are all good-natured people. They are just born in a foreign race. There is nothing wrong with it. If I don't teach them, they will be sent to the Primordial Origin Sect and Chiwu Valley to become righteous in the future. Instead of doing this, it is better for me to teach myself. At least the people I teach will retain a trace of fire in their hearts, so that they will not be able to distinguish right from wrong when the Nine Continents are in turmoil..."

Xie Qiutao listened carefully, her eyes misty, and after Xie Wen finished speaking, she sniffed:

"Mom, I knew you and dad would not abandon the bright and the dark. It scared me to death... Now we are here to take you out and kill these villains from the alien race in the future..."

Xie Wen saw her once energetic daughter, with unspeakable joy in her eyes, but when asked to take her out, she shook her head:

"Mom can't leave. Once mother leaves, your father's safety will not be concerned. Tens of thousands of spiritual beasts in the lake outside will definitely not escape. The aliens don't supervise me. Even if I know that the door is open, I can't leave. I know you If everything goes well with your father, mother will be satisfied."

The spirit beasts understand human nature, and they all regard their owners as their parents and relatives. Knowing that the alien race will forcibly extract the power of Black Tortoise after leaving, Qiutao's mother must not be ruthless.

The evil way can achieve its goals by any means, but the right way cannot forget responsibility and morality. Shangguan Yutang knows that this kind of imprisonment is far stronger than iron chains and wooden shackles. Think about it and say:

"Knowing that you are here and your Daoist heart has not wavered, we will use a perfect method to bring you back in the future, so as not to let any Fellow Daoist feel cold."

Xie Wen shook his head gently: "If you fall into this situation, it will be difficult to leave. You don't have to force it. As long as Qiu Tao is safe and sound."

Xie Qiutao's eyes were very tangled. She wanted to reunite with her mother and never be separated again, but she also understood her mother's current situation. It would be difficult to leave everything behind and reunite with her if the alien race was not destroyed, and she didn't know what to say. , could only direct his grievances and anger at the Youying alien race, and asked:

"What are the aliens doing? They asked you to raise a spirit beast to gain the power of Black Tortoise. What are they trying to do?"

Xie Wen sighed: "My heart is not with the alien race. If I know the plan, I will definitely find ways to send the news out. How could the alien race not think of this? Any information involving the core of the alien race will not be passed to me. But after all these years From my observation, I also saw some clues..."

The purpose of Shangguan Yutang's coming here is to find out the purpose of the alien race to collect the power of divine beasts. At this time, his eyes were a little more focused, as were Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu.

"...This is the Cangsha Ancient River, the place where an ancient Immortal Emperor came to enlightenment, and it is also the only well-preserved Immortal Emperor Cave Mansion in Jiuzhou. The aliens are operating here, probably because they want to use the Cave Mansion structure of the Jiu Gai Realm monks, Infer the physical condition of the monks in the Jiu Gai Realm, so as to find the method to maintain the realm in this world..."

Due to their realm, Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu seemed to understand but Shangguan Yutang understood the meaning of these words.

To put it bluntly, Jiuzhou is a big bucket, and all living things are the fish in it.

Sealing the Taiyin Lord disrupts the balance of Yin and Yang, which is equivalent to muddying the water surface at the top, making it impossible for any fish to swim to its original height, let alone jump out of the bucket.

As for the fish in other buckets, even if they forcefully cross this layer of stagnant water and jump in, they will be forced to lower their altitude under the constraints of heaven and earth and cannot exert their full strength; the natives of Jiuzhou have no pressure to deal with this kind of existence. Therefore, since the path to immortality was cut off, there has never been an incident of the Heavenly Demon coming to the world.

When Xie Wen said that he had found a way to maintain his realm in this world, he obviously meant finding a way for Jiu Gai realm monks to survive in the stagnant water on the top floor.

As long as this can be achieved, even if it only lasts for a short period of time, the ability of a Jiu Gai realm monk is enough to Ascension jump out of the sky, or find a way to restore the balance of heaven and earth.

But the prerequisite for this is to have an Immortal Emperor.

If yin and yang are not equal, it is destined to be impossible to break through Wangji. The way the ancestors locked this world has completely eliminated the desire of the descendants to unify the nine continents again.

The only way for contemporary monks to become Immortal Emperor is for most of the monks to join forces, use their lives to clear the way, and forcibly open the way to immortality; and to stop this, all it takes is for an Immortal Lord to refuse to agree.

Just like Shangguan Yutang, as long as she doesn't want the path to immortality to be opened, she can hide in the dark. If other Immortal Lords dare to try, they will run to cause trouble. Unless she dies, no matter how many Immortal Lords there are, it will be difficult for them to accomplish this feat.

This is a clever move by the ancestors, giving all the Immortal Lords a veto power. If the entire human race and even the Beast Race are united and want to open the path to immortality, then the path to immortality should indeed be opened.

And whether someone would deliberately cause trouble and want to drag Jiuzhou to die together when life and death were at stake, the ancient sages were not worried at all.

First, opening the Path of Immortality will bring hundreds of benefits and no harm to a strong person at the level of Immortal Lord. Cutting off the Path of Immortality is because he thinks his life is too long, which will bring hundreds of harms but no benefit.

The Immortal Lord who insists on not opening the path to immortality will definitely not be a retarded person who harms others and does not benefit himself. Nowadays, conservatives are all respected and righteous Immortal Lords, which has also proved this.

Secondly, even if someone goes crazy, or someone misjudges and intervenes to block it but does not open it, other Immortal Lords can join forces to beat this person to death so that everyone can agree.

Even if everyone is wrong at that time, it will still be the choice of the representatives of the entire Jiuzhou. It is not the fault of one person that brings disaster to Jiuzhou. The ancestors have done their best to benevolent and righteous, and it is their own fault and no one can blame them.

The current route of the Youying alien race is to destroy the righteous way and then reach a consensus among everyone.

Although this decision led to the war between Zhengdao and the Youying alien race that lasted for thousands of years, there was never a day of peace.

But if you want Jiuzhou to maintain relative peace in this three-thousand-year world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the weak, and if you want the creatures to always maintain their martial virtues in peace and not lose their blood in the gentle land, this is the best choice for our ancestors. .

Originally, this arrangement was impeccable and no matter what the choice was, it was the right choice. Even if the alien race won Jiuzhou in the end, it was God's will that could not be violated.

But if an Immortal Emperor appeared out of thin air in the world, all these things would change.

After Shangguan Yutang heard Xie Wen's statement, he frowned and said:

"To understand the physique of the Jiu Gai Realm monks and to find the method to maintain the realm in this world, the prerequisite is to have a Jiu Gai Realm monk. Is it possible that the aliens want to find another way to conjure a person out of thin air before they can open up the path to immortality? Immortal Emperor?”

This statement made Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu slightly stunned and a little difficult to understand.

In the early stages of spiritual practice, you can still rely on your seniors to help you, even the Immortal Lord. There is no one above to help. You have to rely on yourself for everything. There is also the ceiling in the way. How can you transform on the roof out of thin air without breaking the ceiling? Someone?

Xie Wen obviously didn't know the details, so he shook his head and said:

"I don't know exactly what the aliens want to do. I can only guess that seizing the power of the gods and studying the Cangsha Ancient River are related to the Immortal Emperor. You have to investigate the rest yourself."

Shangguan Yutang thought about it for a long time and felt that this guess was too unrealistic. However, things in the world are fickle, and he really couldn’t rest assured unless he found out clearly. After thinking about it, he could only say:

"Does anyone here know the inside story?"

"This place is full of captured people and apprentices. It is impossible for anyone to know such secrets. Moreover, this is not the core of the alien race. It is just a workshop to extract the power of the gods."

Xie Wen looked outside: "There are four other places similar to Black Tortoise Lake along the river. Going downstream is the Vermilion Bird Gorge. The remnant souls of the stolen pills were sent here and were taken away after staying for a while. The power of the gods collected by Black Tortoise Lake will also be sent away regularly, and I don’t know where it is sent.”

Shangguan Yutang frowned. The most mysterious part of the information she extracted from Xuanye was the Cangsha Ancient River. If this was just a workshop, it would be difficult to find out the aliens' secret plans and locations.

Miss Qiu listened for a long time, seeming to understand but not daring to comment rashly. After hearing about the stolen pill remnant soul, she asked:

"The aliens attacked Barren Mountain and stole the stolen elixir at an extremely fast speed. They also knew the sealing formation very well. They seemed to have an internal agent. But we have not found an internal agent until now. The Lord of Barren Mountain is still suspected by Dongzhou. Did my aunt know that at that time? Case?"

Miss Qiu's ancestor, Qiu Boyue, has been dealt with badly since her guard failed to steal the elixir. She is still unable to raise her head and speak in Jiuzong. Everyone knows that Qiu Boyue is innocent, but the situation cannot be explained clearly. This blame will have to be carried until death. Miss Qiu is asking now because she also wants to mention her ancestors to clear her grievances.

Xie Wen thought about it carefully and said softly:

"I only found out about this after the Stealing Pill was sent back. The people in Cangsheng Guhe didn't expect that the aliens could really bring the Stealing Pill back. There were many people asking about it, so I also inquired about it at the time. Because the Stealing Pill had already been brought back, This matter is not considered a secret. The traitor is definitely not the Lord of Barren Mountain. It is said that he seems to be someone from the Supervisor Temple. He captured a prisoner and asked about the defense information of Barren Mountain."

"captive?"

Miss Qiu frowned and felt that this statement was a bit false - the people who knew the specific defenses of Huangshan and even had access to the seal of stealing pills were at least the core elders of Jingting Terrace, and it was obviously difficult for a person of this level to fall into the hands of a foreign race. Let alone getting the news out alive.

However, the Seal of Stealing Pills has existed for three thousand years and cannot be changed. There may always be a few people who leak the information in history, and there is no guarantee of this.

Miss Qiu thought for a moment and then asked, "Auntie, do you know where the prisoner is now?"

Xie Wen said: "I don't know this, and it's difficult for me to go out."

Shangguan Yutang thought for a moment and responded:

"Behind the Sky Eagle Fort in the Temple of Supervisors, there is a piece of blessed land of yellow beams. It can help people forget their past lives and the tribulations of the mortal world. It can also involve people in it and forge their lives to obtain information. A lot of information about the righteous path has been leaked there. If this If that’s true, it should be there.”

Miss Qiu opened her mouth, obviously wanting to go over and have a look, but she glanced at Qiu Tao, who had been looking at her mother, and didn't know what to do now.

Shangguan Yutang stood up and said: "You mother and daughter haven't seen each other for many years. Let's have a good chat. If something unexpected happens, we have to leave before dawn. You don't have to be sad. I said I would take you back, and I will definitely do it. .”

Miss Qiu stood up when she saw this.

Zuo Lingquan was originally going to follow him out to give the two of them some time alone, but Xie Wen glanced at Zuo Lingquan and said:

"Are you Zuo Lingquan?"

"Exactly, in uncle's letter just now..."

"Sit down and talk."

"Forehead……"

Zuo Lingquan glanced at the back of Tangtang's head, sat back in his chair with a smile, and sat upright.

And Qiu Tao, who was crying just now, turned red for no reason at this time, showing a bit of nervousness...
