What would a normal Mahayana casual cultivator do before crossing the catastrophe

The fit period looked at him with weird eyes for a while, and finally asked: "What's your name, and who is your father?"

With a frightened expression on his face, Qinan quickly replied: "Go back to Shangxian, my name is Yang Xing. I am an orphan without a father."

He frowned and thought for a while, put down the child he was holding in his arms, and said to the child's parents: "Second brother, I suddenly remembered something, I will leave my little nephew to you to watch over first, and this new-found The returned tribe will also be handed over to you first, no problem?"

The man was shocked, and immediately responded: "Of course, I will take good care of him!"

The fit period nodded, turned and left.

Seeing the surprise hidden in the man's eyes, Qinan's eyes flickered slightly.

What do these people mean?Could it be that...the things that the "second-family boy" originally wanted to do were replaced by him?As for the timing of his attitude change, I am afraid that this matter is also related to the strength of the soul.

Sure enough, there is a problem.

Qinan endured the doubts in his heart, and followed the "second brother" away.Along the way, the second brother was overly enthusiastic, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

And his wife quietly took their son and left their vicinity while they were not paying attention.

The attitude of this group of people made Qinan more sure of his guess.

"I've just returned to the family, and I really want to know about my own background." Qinan probed calmly, "If you want to see the history of the family's ancestors, where should you go?"

The second brother hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to point him in the direction: "Over there, do you see that black spire? That's our Yang family's library, where many secret books and historical classics of the family are kept. But Zangshu Pavilion generally doesn’t allow people to enter, you should settle down first, after a while, the clan uncle will clear up the relationship and take you there.”

Qinan promised well on the surface, but turned around and sneaked out of the black steeple at night with Jianjun Yihong on his shoulders.

"There probably isn't anything good in this library." Qinan walked around the black tower, observing the secret pattern engraved on it while communicating with Yu Hong, "You see, the spiritual power of this formation only fluctuates during the out-of-body period. Peak, and the structure is also very loose, even the cloud formation that automatically waters the Lingtian at the outermost edge of Huangtian Sword Gate can't compare. And it's easy to crack, as long as you start from the left 86th ridge, the upper [-]th and the center Si Gen cuts in to block the secret pattern, and then superimposes a folding spirit array to easily open a window for people to come in and out..."

Yi Hong was silent and listened to him muttering alone for a long time, and after a long while, he comforted him via voice transmission: "Don't be nervous."

Qinan's voice transmission paused, and asked, "How do you know if I'm nervous?"

Yi Hong: "When you are restless, you talk more than usual."

Hearing this, Qinan was stunned for a while.

This eldest young master clearly sees everything, how can he usually act like he doesn't know anything.

He stretched out his hand to pull his hair, and said: "It's not really nervous... It's just thinking that I might be able to see my mother's past soon, just a little..."

He paused in the middle of speaking, and sighed silently after a while: "Forget it, let's not talk, let's go in."

Qinan took out the inscription pen and broke through the defense formation of Zangshu Pavilion according to the method he just said, and drew a phantom formation outside the gap as a cover, and then turned over and entered the black tower.

The interior of the Black Tower was empty and silent.The long bright pearls inlaid on the wall seem to have not been added with spirit stones for a long time. They emit dim light in the dark, and can only faintly illuminate the outlines of the surrounding bookshelves.

Qinan's eyes scanned the classics on the bookshelf one by one, and walked to the depths.

The darkness here does not affect the Mahayana monk's vision, and he can easily distinguish the types and covers of these books.

"It seems that there are really no important things," Qinan said with emotion, "Not only is the defense loose, but the materials of these books are also ordinary things, and there are not many jade slips commonly used by monks."

They searched all the way until they reached the top floor of Zangshu Pavilion, and finally found the goal of this trip.

Qinan subconsciously held his breath, then slowly reached out and picked up the heavy book named "Puyang".

The first third of the book records the story of a family surnamed "Yang" rising step by step under the leadership of a Tianjiao, joining the Lingwu Dynasty and becoming a royal family.

Later, this Tianjiao was granted a fief, which he named "Puyang", and the Yang family changed its name to "Puyang family" since then.

This Tianjiao finally stopped at the peak of the out-of-body period, and died at the age of nine in 680.But his remaining shadow protected his descendants. Although the descendants could hardly match the ancestors in cultivation, they also appeared frequently and gained a firm foothold in the Lingwu Dynasty.

When four-fifths of the book was turned, Qinan saw a familiar name.

"In the year 8000 and 61 of the perpetual calendar, in Puyang, the heavenly family, the spiritual root of the eldest daughter of the patriarch "Shengyun" is the second-class "Single Wood Spiritual Root"."

Mother……

It turns out that you are a single spiritual root, then why did you fall into such a situation later?

Qinan's fingers tightened slightly, and he forcibly stabilized his mind, before continuing to look down.

"Puyang Shengyun was only 21 years old when she broke through the golden elixir stage. Her reputation spread far and wide and was admired by thousands of people. The emperor [blacked out] offered to be a concubine, but was rejected. In the year 8000 and 87 years of the perpetual calendar, Puyang Shengyun was in training. fall."

Qinan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Afterwards, more than a dozen pages of the book were obviously torn off.Finally, after a large section of ink stains, clear writing appeared again.

It's just that the handwriting has obviously changed, and the tone has changed from the original peaceful and detached to extremely emotional.

"Emperor Dog, how dare you assassinate my eldest daughter, Sheng Yun! This revenge will be paid with blood!"

"I, Puyang Mu, the seventh Patriarch of the Puyang Clan, am ashamed of my ancestors and unable to protect my family well. I have discussed with the three elders that I will take revenge on the Lingwu royal family at all costs to comfort the enmity of Shengyun more than a hundred years ago. .”

"However, our talents are mediocre, and we can't compete with Ling Wu's power. We can only use the sword to take the edge."

"When we pass away, the position of Patriarch will be inherited by my younger brother's son."

The following sentence seems to be recorded by another person. He recorded that "Puyang" abandoned his surname and became "Yang" again and defected.

There is no related description of this incident in the following pages, only a plain side statement to put an end to this heroic revenge.

"In the [-]th year of the Wannian calendar, Lingwu destroyed the country, and the entire royal family was wiped out."

Qinan stared at that sentence in silence for a long time.

Obviously, the head of the family, his grandfather "Puyang Mu" succeeded.

But in these few words, there is no record of how he did it, and no one mentioned the current situation of "Yang Shi".

Qinan's eyes were deep, extremely cold, but a little dazed.

He used to think that his mother was in that situation because her spiritual root talent was too poor to practice self-help.He will embark on this path, but also because of the influence of his mother.

But she never thought that she was actually a well-loved arrogance, but she was assassinated to this point.

It seems that he misunderstood, what she needs is not the secret technique to change the spiritual root at all.

Qinan closed the book, closed his eyes and sighed softly.Maybe it was because too much time had passed, and besides being sad, he actually felt a little relieved.

Ok.

From then on, all the efforts he made for the path of spiritual roots were only for himself.

After a long time, the complicated thoughts in his mind gradually faded away, and Qinan slowly came back to his senses, only then did he realize that Yu Hong seemed to be looking at him frequently.He looked over suspiciously, and asked through sound transmission: "What's wrong?"

You couldn't see any expression on Yu Hong's face that became more and more paralyzed after turning into a black snake, but Qinan felt that he seemed hesitant to speak, and finally didn't say anything, but just moved his tail.

The pulling force from his hand made Qinan subconsciously look down.

He saw that his free hand had somehow pinched the tip of Yu Hong's tail again, and tied him in a frenzied way.

Jinan: "..."

Qinan quickly let go and untied the knot for him, and said dryly: "Then what, I'm sorry I made a mistake, I really didn't mean it."

Yu Hong turned to look at him.

Qinan's scalp went numb, and he blurted out: "How about I let you pinch it back?"
