Refinement, masculinity

Hearing Duan Ze's words, Duan Cheng was stunned for a while, and asked in surprise: "Isn't the one who tied you up the demon cultivator? What's the matter with the demon clan?" He paused, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "The one who ordered them was the demon cultivator." Clan?!"

"It's possible," Duan Ze smiled slightly, "No, it should be said that it is very possible."

Duan Cheng's heart sank.

Since ancient times, gods and demons have been incompatible. In the age that is so long that it is almost impossible to study, gods and demons once experienced many wars. After that, the demons fell and retreated to the demon world to recuperate. On the mainland, the human race and the demon race flourished. Among them, the human race was weak and insignificant. The monster race is powerful and ferocious, and regardless of the four spirits and unicorns that have already been promoted to godhood, just one of the ferocious monsters in the classical records is enough to bring devastating disasters to human beings.

However, with the evolution of the times, those ferocious beasts have long been lost in the torrent of history, and gradually disappeared. The rest are ordinary monsters. By grace, they walk more smoothly and more easily than humans.

At first, the two races did not interfere with each other. Later, some demon cultivators found that the inner alchemy of the monster race was very helpful for improving their cultivation, and began to hunt and kill. The monster race was agitated, and they treated the human race equally and attacked them indiscriminately. With the trend of taming monsters as pets or mounts, the conflicts between the two races continued to increase, and when it was about to fight to the death, the demon race that should have disappeared long ago reappeared.

Since the Demon Race has been able to stand against the God Race for so long, their strength is far inferior to the other two races. Strength is their innate gift, and they don't even need to concentrate on cultivation. I can't care about pinching each other and defending against the enemy together.

After the painful lesson of failure, the demons regained their vitality by hiding their strengths and biding their time for thousands of years. At this moment, some of them are proud and want to fight a big battle, while others have no intention of fighting for hegemony and want to live as they wish. How will they develop? The Lord didn't say a word, so they moved freely and fought a few times, but they didn't cause a big storm like extermination.

Since then, the three tribes have been in a stalemate stage. Although disputes continued during this period, they did not tear each other apart. It was not until more than 3000 years ago that they broke out completely.

There are not many records about that great war in later generations. We only know that people, monsters, and demons fought together at that time, and all races were severely injured. The two races of monsters and demons retreated to their own territory. The elite, however, dropped the inexplicable words like "From now on, the three races will be brothers and sisters", and let it go.

The mainland returned to calm, and the two races of monsters appeared from time to time and then disappeared quickly. They acted in a low-key and mysterious way, making it impossible to find out.

But now, Duan Cheng heard the name of the demon clan from his second brother, and the second brother and Ye Jue are being hunted down by them, and Meng Ling may even be involved in this matter, he frowned slightly: "You What else did you check?"

"I found out that almost all the Leilingen cultivators who appeared in the past 2000 years have been captured by Mo Xiuwei. At present, one or two have become the elders of the big sect, and the rest except my master and I have ended up very miserable. , "Duan Ze broke his slender fingers and smiled sinisterly, "He almost died before he formed the alchemy."

Duan Cheng frowned even deeper: "Demons did it? No, if that's the case, why didn't they do it before you formed the alchemy? Then why did they deliberately keep alive when the demons surrounded you?"

"This is the problem. I saw a record in the master's handbook. Among the monks of Leilingen, one was brought up by the demon cultivator. He has been secretly cultivated, and even took a lot of elixir to improve his cultivation. Why," Duan Ze narrowed his eyes, "but he was discovered soon after the foundation was established, and then died."

Duan Cheng couldn't help taking a deep breath, with a serious expression on his face: "You mean that it is useful for the demon cultivator to find the monks of Lei Linggen, but another force thought it was a threat, so they wiped it out early, right?"

Duan Ze just smiled and didn't answer.

Duan Cheng was silent, this force must be hostile to Moxiu and even the Mozu behind them, it is likely to be a decent organization like Yizong, Weihezong, in other words, it is tantamount to being the hands of his own people.

"As long as Leilingen monks appear, the two sects of Yizong and Weihezong must find a way to absorb them. They put Leilingen's people under their noses and watch them. If there is any contact with or even join hands with those who want to join forces, they simply kill them directly, so as to avoid future troubles. Up to now, there are only two Lei Linggen monks alive in the sect. They only killed four of them,” Duan Ze said slowly, “Although my master didn’t join the sect at the beginning, he was protected and monitored for a period of time. Later, I worshiped him as a teacher, but the sect didn’t look at him.” , but my master is very strict with me, so there should be some meaning in this regard."

"Does the family know about this?"

"If it weren't for our family's high status, do you think I could live so recklessly?" Duan Ze glanced at him, "If I wasn't born in Duan's family, I would have been accepted into the sect long ago."

Duan Cheng was silent, and suddenly asked: "What are they doing this for?"

In the tug-of-war for more than 2000 years, what is it that makes Mo Xiu so persistent and makes sects so fearful?

"Seal," Duan Ze briefly introduced, "there is a place in the Demon Realm called the Void of the North Cold, and there is a seal on it. As long as the people of Lei Linggen reach the golden core stage, they can use lightning to open a gap."

"What's in there?"

"Do you know what was the cause of the great war more than 3000 years ago?"

Duan Cheng nodded: "It is said that the demons are too rampant and ruthless, they do some evil things, and even want to rule the mainland, so the human race and the demon race joined forces and rose up to resist," he paused slightly, "but the last sentence of the human race is brother What's going on again?"

"Everything has both pros and cons," Duan Ze said with a smile, "it won't be all good or all bad."

Duan Cheng made it clear: "You mean that some of the Demon Race did not approve of the rule at that time, and they were actually on the side of the Human Race and the Monster Race?"

"You can say that."

"and after?"

"The power of the demon race is comparable to that of the god race. The human race and the demon race are not rivals. Killing them will definitely not work," Duan Ze said, "so we can only find a way to seal them up."

Duan Cheng immediately asked: "Northern cold?"

"Well, it's no wonder that the sects are so nervous. You can imagine, if those demons who have accumulated grievances for more than 3000 years are released, what will happen to the entire continent."

"So there are some demons left in the hostile forces. After recuperating for 1000 years, they began to encourage Moxiu to help them work, so as to remove the seal?" Duan Cheng couldn't understand, "Why did Moxiu help them?"

"The demon cultivator pursues power, no matter how strong he is, he is still a human being after all," Duan Ze sneered, "The demon clan must have told them to help them become real demons after they are done."

Duan Cheng responded, went through the whole thing, and frowned: "What about the demons who stood on our side at that time? They should be alive, why didn't this matter be recorded? The last sentence of the sect is to be like brothers and sisters and it's over?"

"Not really, I have checked some other information," Duan Ze said, "Demons have appeared in the mainland several times in the past 2000 years. They caused a lot of bloodshed, and some were even particularly appalling, but they were suppressed by the sect. Then put them on Moxiu's head, Moxiu has a bad impression in the hearts of everyone, and is more or less affected by these things."

"Then this is most likely done by the remaining forces of the enemy," Duan Cheng mused. "Sects are definitely not doing this to protect them, but because they don't want people to feel as bad about the demons as before, right?"

"Well, not only that, the sect also covered up the traces very well. If I hadn't read Master's handbook, even I wouldn't know that those were all done by the demons."

More than 3000 years have passed, when people nowadays mention the Demon Race, at most they say "oh". Duan Cheng couldn't help but frown. Afterwards, he tried his best to help the demons cover up, so cautiously, as if he wanted to make up for a guilty conscience.

"Second brother, why do I have a strange feeling?"

"I think so too," Duan Ze said, "There were too few records at the time, and only the general cause and process were written. In the end, there were some sacrifices of some people, without specific details, but one person was taken out and written alone. , my master felt that it was special, so I checked it more, and then wrote it in the handbook."

"Who?"

"Qingyao, you have never heard of this name, and neither have I. Even if you ask the head of a sect, he probably won't tell you the truth. Three thousand years ago, this person was the pride of the entire sect. His The talent is extremely high, only a few hundred years has already reached Yuanying's early stage cultivation, but later..."

"how?"

Duan Ze smiled: "There are only four words in the record, dedicated to the battle."

Duan Cheng narrowed his eyes: "The formation that sealed the demons back then?"

"Maybe."

"Why do I feel more and more strange..." Duan Cheng muttered, since Qingyao sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation, according to the temper of those sects, he must be firmly remembered by future generations, why didn't he even mention it?

"It's been so long, who knows."

The protracted and tragic war between the three clans, Qingyao's dedication to the battle, the sloppy and simple records, the sect's silence and their ambiguous attitude towards the demons, everything is submerged in the world more than 3000 years ago, unless Fortunately, there are surviving witnesses, otherwise no one will know the truth.

Duan Cheng changed the subject: "Will the Ye Jue have anything to do with this matter?"

Duan Ze shook his head, indicating that he was not clear, he raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Maybe you can ask him."

Duan Cheng resolutely refused: "Don't think about it, he will definitely not say it."

He chatted with Duan Ze for a few words, then turned back to the dormitory, just as he stepped into the small courtyard, he saw Feng Bai holding his daughter-in-law to complain with a sad face, and he immediately became angry: "Let go of your claws, stay away!"

Seeing the savior, Feng Bai was hardly in the mood to listen to what he said, and hurried forward to grab his shoulder: "I'm really fed up, where is the person you found for me?!"

Duan Cheng tried his best to break away from him: "Stay away from me too, don't tease me casually, I'm a man with a family!" He quickly stepped forward and put his arms around Meng Ling, "Daughter-in-law~ you're waiting for me Shall we take a nap together?"

"...You're thinking too much," Meng Ling said blankly, "I just couldn't sleep because of my brother's noise."

Duan Cheng squinted at Feng Bai: "Are you surrounded by those people again?"

"What do you think? They actually found my master," Feng Bai sat opposite them in pain, "Master said he wanted to help me decide, isn't it fatal? Please help me!"

Duan Cheng poured a cup of tea, thought about it, and broke his fingers with a smile: "I have two candidates, one is a female fighter in our class, she is very domineering, but she is only thinking about cultivation, if you want her to help you To block peach blossoms, you have to help her improve her cultivation."

Feng Bai thought for a while, then shook his head: "Since she is devoted to cultivation, let's not bother her, what about another candidate?"

"That one..." Duan Cheng took a sip of tea slowly, and called to the room next to him, "Ye Jue, Ye Jue!"

The door of that room opened quickly, and Ye Jue asked coldly, "What are you doing..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a few small streams of water flew out of Duan Cheng's hands in an instant and came straight towards him. He turned his head to avoid it, but saw a flash of water in mid-air, and it was about to fall, so he immediately stretched out his hand to pinch it. Trick, instantly freeze them into ice.

Feng Bai opened his eyes wide: "You you you..."

Ye Jue didn't look sideways, but still looked at Duan Cheng: "Why are you crazy?"

Duan Cheng didn't answer, but smiled and said to Feng Bai: "His cultivation level is higher than yours, how about letting him be your Taoist companion?"

Feng Bai: "..."

Yejue: "..."

Feng Bai reacted for a few seconds, jumped up, didn't care about asking about his cultivation, and shouted: "Are you kidding me? He's still a child!"

"I didn't let you really fall in love with him, it's just a shield," Duan Cheng smiled more prettily, he was very disturbed by the news brought by his second brother, since he was not happy, he didn't want Ye Jue to be happy , then patiently persuaded, "Go ask, if he refuses to agree, you can tell about his cultivation."

Yejue: "..."

Feng Bai scratched his head: "No...not very good..." He looked at Ye Jue expectantly, "What do you mean?"

"……dream."

Feng Bai was immediately disappointed.

Duan Cheng didn't care, and looked at Ye Jue with a smile: "If I say... I have other things to explode here?"

Did this person find anything?Ye Jue narrowed his eyes for a moment, looked at him for a while, and finally nodded: "...Okay."

Feng Bai was immediately happy, and spread the news out in the afternoon, everyone couldn't believe it: "Even if you lie to someone, you have to find someone reliable, he is still a child!"

"He's always going to grow up."

"We don't believe it, why did you see him?!"

Feng Bai was very calm, took out the words Duan Cheng gave him, pointed at Ye Jue and asked everyone: "Which of you is more beautiful than him?"

Everyone: "..."

Yejue: "..."

Everyone was silent for a long time, stomped their feet in resentment, turned and left, and then suddenly bumped into Ling Aicheng who was carrying his daughter-in-law back to the classroom, they were startled, calmed down slowly, what are they afraid of, Yejue is also short-lived!

They walked out quickly and decided to join the team that snatched Meng Ling, and worked together to get rid of these two short-lived ones!
