Alan responded.

Alan told him before that it was "entrusted by an old friend" to protect Yu Changle, and it turned out that this old friend was Hua Huaili.Hua Huaili saved it's life, and later entrusted her child to Ah Lan.

"I lost eight out of ten of my cultivation in that battle, and I have only recovered half of it so far." Alan's tone turned into a warning, "So don't cause trouble for me, be careful and I won't be able to protect you."

Yu Changle agreed, but he was thinking in his heart, what would a duel between two big monsters be like?It is probably enough to make the world eclipse, thrilling, and a hundred times more magnificent than Bi Fang Pokong.

Although both sides suffer, the person who can subdue them is quite remarkable.No matter what their standpoints, the Zhong twins and Hua Huaili who broke through 49 battles in a row are first-class geniuses.

"Alan, tell me about the situation of the world back then." Yu Changle became more and more excited, turned over and asked with sparkling eyes.

A Lan said: "There is no need to indulge in old things."

"I want to know!" Yu Changle tried to be coquettish, "These things are not recorded in the ancient books of the Wanzi Cave."

Yu Changle knew very vaguely about the affairs of Zhong's generation, and now there are only a few records in the Wanzi Cave:

Xiurong Zhong Family is located in Xianfu Mountain, Xiurong, Bingzhou.It was prosperous for a while, and it was called the first family.

They couldn't find the specific process of its destruction, as if it had been erased by someone, and the other aristocratic families didn't mention it.The success of the king and the defeat of the bandits may have been erased by the Shen family. After all, compared to the big family headed by the Zhong family, the sudden emergence of the Shen family is no exaggeration.

"Alan has lived for so long, so she should know what happened?" Yu Changle said, "Tell me!"

Alan was so entangled by him, she pushed his face away with her claws, and shouted: "It's okay, it's okay! I'll tell you."

"It was 37 years ago that the Shen family established the position of the first family. The Zhong family was destroyed 54 years ago. After the Zhong family was destroyed, there was a decade-long period of chaos in the world. Many historical facts happened at that time Annihilated.

"In the tenth year of chaos, Shen Yuanting, as the head of the Shen family, led the Shen family every step of the way. It took seven years to establish the current status of the Langya Shen family. This is the background."

What A Lan said, Yu Changle only knew the general idea, without the exact concept of the year.Having said this, Yu Changle realized that the Langya Shen family had established the status of the first family only 16 years before he was born, and this first family was indeed too new.

"The Zhong family wouldn't have come to an end so quickly." Alan recounted the past, without any emotion/color in her tone, "Although the decline was already going downhill, the bottom line is still there after all. And the Patriarch Zhong at that time also wanted to change, Cleaning up the atmosphere, his two sons are also exceptionally good."

Yu Changle understood: "These are the Zhong's twins?"

"Yes. The elder brother's name is Zhong Yi, and the younger brother's name is Zhong Kai. Zhong Yi devotes himself to cultivation and doesn't care about world affairs; his younger brother Zhong Kai is the young master of the Zhong family, and he makes friends with heroes. And the two have never been contaminated by playboy habits, and they are called "Shuangbi" together. , the outside world regards it as the hope of revitalizing the Zhong family." Alan paused.

Until here, the story is developing in a good place.

Yu Changle couldn't help asking: "Then what happened after that?"

There was a hint of ridicule and pity in Ah Lan's eyes: "Later, Patriarch Zhong suddenly contracted a sudden illness. After waking up, his memory went from good to bad, and he was unable to manage affairs. Zhong Kai was still young, so he temporarily became the patriarch; but his foundation was too shallow to Convince.

"It's just that there is still room for change, but at the grand meeting of the family a year later, Zhong Yi went crazy in public for some reason, making the grand meeting a ritual of slaughter. The news of this incident shocked the whole world.

"It is said that Zhong Yi once had a demon in his body before this, and he couldn't hide the massacre. Later, Zhong Yi seemed to kill himself."

A genius who spread such scandals ended up committing suicide.Yu Changle was speechless for a while, and said, "It's really...too unlucky."

I don't know whether it should be said that the retribution of the previous generations was concentrated in the last generation of the Zhong family or what. The old and young Zhong family is really very unlucky, and the speed of decline is comparable to a meteor passing through the sky.

"There are even more unlucky things." A Lan said, "Zhong Kai may have been hit too hard, and he missed a certain demon slaying in the next few months, and the entire army was wiped out together with a few of his men.

"As the head of the family, he shouldn't have done it himself, but when Zhong's family was in chaos, no one went to collect the petitions from the subordinates. Zhong Kai went out in person, and there were not enough people. After his death, Zhong The family fell apart directly, first split up and went their separate ways, and then completely collapsed."

It's so unfortunate that I don't know how to describe it.The death of a patriarch in the slaying of demons is not to mention rare in the world, but at least it can be used as a novelty for a while.

"In comparison, the Shen family is too lucky." The sarcasm in A Lan's tone was undisguised, "Do you know who was the disciple who proposed to kill those two big monsters to get their souls?"

Yu Changle shook his head.

A Lan said: "This son's name is Shen Yan."

"Shen Yan?!" Yu Changle lost his voice suddenly, and realized that it was night, so he had to lower his voice, his heart beating violently, "Isn't that the owner of the Shen family, Shen Yuanting?"

"Back then, many descendants of aristocratic families studied at the Xiurong Zhong family. At that time, the Shen family was still a small, unknown family in Langya. Qingzhou and Bingzhou bordered each other. It was only normal for Shen Yan to worship the Zhong family as a student."

Yu Changle frowned, and said, "This Patriarch Shen's temperament...seems a little extreme."

"Extreme" is a euphemism.

"That's why Shen Yan is not yet 20 years old." Alan said something, sounding like he was defending Shen Yuanting, but there was subtle irony in his tone: he was only under 20 years old, but he already had such thoughts.

"At that time, the disciples all looked up to the Zhong family's twins, and Shen Yan was so outstanding because he admired Zhong Yi to the point of fanaticism." Alan's tone became even more sarcastic, "Who knows that 30 years and 30 years in Hedong? In Hexi, the Zhong family's twins have long since fallen, but he has become the head of the world's aristocratic family."

After Ah Lan finished speaking, she turned around and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

"Hmm..." Yu Changle slept soundly after hearing about the past incident.There was no dream all night, as if there was a mother protecting him in the dark.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the clouds are sold out and the snow is gone.The snow has stopped, and the golden sun shines on the snow, shining brightly.

The snow in the yard is covered with red firecracker paper, and there is a beaming attitude.Yu Changle woke up early, and dragged Ao Yan and Shen Minghua out: "Let's go, let's go and pay New Year's greetings to the gentlemen!"

Mr. Zhang Zihua has a family and has already returned home.But Mr. Liutao and Mr. Huansha are still in the academy, and they should be in Mingzhi Hall now.

On the way to Mingzhi Hall, there is a large plum forest.The red plums reflect the snow, crystal clear and lovely.

"When the world is parting from Yi Sui, there are only plum branches, don't miss each other." Shen Minghua shook his folding fan and said with emotion.He doesn't know anything else, elegant things are one set, but it's a pity that he doesn't like him. ①

Yu Changle walked in the plum grove, there were some red petals on the ground, and there was a fragrance at the end of his nose, but the sound of stepping on the snow was particularly harsh: "Who is walking in such a hurry? Keep your voice down." Spiritual practitioners stepping on snow, if not like Ao Yan before That was intentionally made for him to hear, and everything else was very light, the so-called "walking on the snow without a trace".

Ao Yan looked at him with a calm expression.Yu Changle turned to Shen Minghua, and Shen Minghua said innocently: "This plum blossom is so beautiful, why am I willing to bother it?"

The three of them stopped, and the sound of stepping on the snow continued, which was very obvious.

Click, click.

Yu Changle looked towards the source of the sound, his eyes froze.After being covered by a few clumps of plum trees, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Who?!"

Ao Yan's sword was unsheathed unscathed, and the gilded gold reflected the sunlight, shining brightly.

Yu Changle said: "Wait..." This doesn't seem to be a spiritual practitioner!

A man in brown clothes knelt down in front of the three of them with a plop, raised his head, revealed a face that was black and red from the cold, and said sadly: "Help me, immortal!!"

The man looked no more than middle-aged, but his eyes were already wrinkled and his temples were weathered.The brown clothes also looked too flimsy. Kneeling in the snow, he kowtowed to Yu Changle and the others: "Immortal help! Immortal, save us Yunxi Town. Please save us! Dashui is ruthless, I am Yunxi Town ..."

Finally, he choked up.

Compared with the men, the three of them wore brocade clothes, and the contrast was particularly sharp.

"This..." Shen Minghua wanted to help the man up, but was stopped by Yu Changle.Yu Changle looked at the man and said, "We are not immortals."

Ao Yan's expression was cold, he didn't close his long sword, but reached the man's throat instead: "Who are you? Why can you enter Yinglu Academy?"

Shen Minghua was taken aback for a moment, and said, "That's right!"

There is an enchantment around Yinglu Academy, which can isolate ordinary people; unless he came from the mountains and forests, how can an ordinary person pass through the deep mountains in a snowy day?

Of course, Yu Changle also thought of this weirdness, so he reacted so coldly.The middle-aged man trembled and said: "What I said is true! Immortal, I will never lie!"

Shen Minghua waved his hand and said, "The academy never allows us to call ourselves immortals. If the master hears you call that, we will be scolded bloody."

"You just said 'big water'." Yu Changle said, "But it's winter now, and the Spring Festival hasn't even arrived, so how could there be a flood? Where did you come from?"

Floods generally occur during spring and autumn floods, and winter floods are too weird no matter how you think about them.

"Speak." Ao Yan said.

The middle-aged man was pointed at by the sword, trembling anxiously: "I, I came from Yunxi Town in Jianxing, Bingzhou..."

Shen Minghua said: "Bingzhou? Then why don't you go to the local government in Bingzhou. Even if it's a supernatural thing, you should go to the local..."

Before he finished speaking, he remembered something, and his expression became awkward.

Isn't the local aristocratic family in Bingzhou the Xiurong Zhong family?But the Zhong family has already fallen. Back then, the Zhong family was the dominant family, and the entire supernatural affairs in Bingzhou were under its control.All the small aristocratic families in Bingzhou are not in good standing, and it is normal for them to be incomplete.

It was Shen Minghua's Langya Shen family who replaced the Zhong family's number one position in the world. No wonder he was embarrassed.

"This uncle, stand up first. How did you come here?" Yu Changle leaned over, lightly blocked Wuyang Jianfeng, and looked at the middle-aged man.

"I, I..." The snow water stained the man's clothes, he didn't know whether it was from fear or the cold, his body was limp and he couldn't stand up.

Yu Changle half helped the man, but felt that the man was very light, as if he was hanging on his arm. "Uncle, Yinglu Academy is full of spiritual cultivators, Hong Shui should go to the local government. Who told you to come to the academy?"

His voice was soft, the man looked at him and said slowly: "Yes..."

When most people speak, their eyes reveal emotions.Yu Changle frowned, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this middle-aged man was very strange.

Without him, the man's expression was too rigid.Although those wrinkles are fine, they seem to be drawn with a brush; when he speaks, his eyeballs move stiffly, not like a living person, but rather...as if drawn!

"Yes--"

The man's voice was suddenly high-pitched, and Yu Changle's thoughts turned and he took a quick step back. At the same time, the middle-aged man showed a stiff and treacherous smile, "It's a ghost!!"

As soon as the words fell, the man turned into a thin piece of paper with a "bang"!

"What the hell??" Shen Minghua was startled.

With a bang, the Wuyang sword cut the paper figurine in half.The two pieces of paper shrank rapidly in the air, and when they swirled and fell on the snow, they had already become the size of a palm.

The piece of paper was stained with snow water, and it was limp. No wonder I couldn't stand up just now, and the weight was still so light.Yu Changle picked up the paper figurine with the tip of his sword and saw that it was a little man with rough brushwork. His expression was simply outlined in ink, and his eyebrows and eyes were slightly similar to the middle-aged man just now.

Only then did Shen Minghua come over and said, "Paper figurine?"

Yu Changle said: "It's a master who blows paper."

Blowing Paper, as the name suggests, is to temporarily endow paper figurines with the ability to move with a breath of spiritual energy.

This man is a paper man, so it makes sense if he can climb over the snow-capped mountains.Sprinkling beans to make soldiers and blowing paper to make generals are all heresy methods.Yinglu Academy does teach it, but these methods are useless after all. For example, this paper figurine doesn't look like a living person, let alone it, and even if it gets wet, it can't be used. It can only deceive people temporarily.

Who deliberately released a paper man in front of them, and for what purpose?

Ao Yan put the sword back into its sheath, and Yu Changle put the two pieces of paper figurines into the Qiankun ring, saying: "This is strange, I have to report to sir."

Inside Mingzhi Hall.

Just as Yu Changle was about to enter the door, he heard the sound of arguing inside:

"What mark! In this way, wouldn't demons be discriminated against even more?"

This is the voice of Mr. Huansha.Yu Changle stepped in with one foot and hesitated with the other.What happened?

In the past two years, Yu Changle has also figured out the tempers of these gentlemen. Mr. Huansha is really dissatisfied when he speaks like this. Judging from her tone, she is still somewhat angry.

Mr. Liu Tao laughed and said, "Huansha, don't lose your composure in front of the students."

"Changle is here?" Mr. Huansha saw him enter the door, calmed his expression, nodded and said, "Happy New Year."

Ao Yan didn't say anything, Shen Minghua just smiled when he saw Mr.Yu Changle walked into the hall, and said hello on their behalf: "I wish you all good luck like the East Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

"Are you calling me old?" Mr. Huansha couldn't see his expression, but his anger had subsided.

"How is that possible?" Yu Changle said solemnly, "Mr. Huansha will always be two years old."

"You child." Mr. Huansha really laughed, and waved his hands, "That's all."

Seeing that the three of them stayed in the hall after paying New Year's greetings, Mr. Liutao said: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall. What do you want to report? Tell me."

Yu Changle clasped his hands and said with a smile: "This disciple is here for..."

He briefly explained what happened.Unexpectedly, when he told the whole story, Mr. Huansha's expression became serious.Yu Changle raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling something was wrong.

Mr. Huansha and Mr. Liutao looked at each other, Liutao's eyes showed deep thought, and said slowly: "What the paper figurine will say is true."

"What? Is there really a flood?!" Shen Minghua opened his mouth wide and forgot to fan it for a moment.

Yu Changle frowned: "This..."

It's a little too weird.

"You all sit down." I thought it was just a simple notification, but the three of them didn't take their seats. Seeing what Mr. Huansha meant, they wanted to have a long talk.Mr. Huansha said, "Jianxing in Bingzhou did suffer from floods. The most serious part is the 'Yunxi Town' that the paper man said."

"How did the flood happen?" Ao Yan asked.

Mr. Huansha said: "According to the news, the water came from the sky."

Yu Changle wondered, "Heaven?"

"That is to say, I don't know where it came from." Mr. Huansha looked solemn, "There was a flood overnight."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.

Shen Minghua said: "There is such a thing? This... how is it possible?"

Liutao said, "Originally it was just a flood, but with this paper figurine..." His whisk swept over the paper figurines, "The original three-point guess is now six-point confidence."

Yu Changle and Ao Yan looked at each other, and they both saw two words in each other's eyes: "Yaoxie".

The paper figurines say "ghosts and gods".This flood is probably caused by non-human beings.

I just don't know, what kind of role will that paper man play in this?

Liutao stroked her beard and said, "The monsters that can cause floods in the world... are all ancient evil monsters."

There are many ancient monsters recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" in the world, not to mention all of them are correct, and half of them are accurate.But on the premise that only one "flood" is known, it is impossible to speculate.

Huansha glanced at Liutao, and then said to Yu Changle and the others: "Just now, Mr. Liutao and I were arguing about the Nine Star Order of the Shen family."

When the topic changed, Yu Changle was taken aback.Being mentioned to the Shen family suddenly, Shen Minghua was stunned: "What Nine Star Order? Why don't I know?"

Yu Changle suddenly realized.This order should be something that the Shen family discussed with the elders of the family by taking advantage of that firestorm!

"Only a few people know about this matter, and it's normal for Young Master Shen not to know." Liu Tao smiled kindly, but what she said made all three of them secretly startled, "Patriarch Shen issued a call to the world's aristocratic families. And all non-human things wear the nine-star logo to distinguish them from ordinary people. This order is called the 'Nine-Star Order'."

Mr. Huansha said coldly: "The entire Yuzhou—Shangwan Ouyang family, together with the sheltered place of Yinglu Academy, firmly oppose the Nine Star Order."

This is why Mr. Huansha left in anger that day.

Shen Minghua stood up all of a sudden, "My father is crazy..." He was swallowed in the middle of the sentence, after all he didn't dare to talk about his own father, "Why is my father?! He didn't like monsters in the past, but he didn't like that ,in this way……"

Ao Yan said coldly: "Shameless!"

Shen Minghua fanned his fan wildly, his face turned pale, and he even forgot the cold.He always knew that Shen Yuanting didn't like monsters, and he didn't mention the matter of making friends with Yu Changle and Ao Yan when he returned home, let alone explaining that he made friends with monsters.After the group of guards entered the academy, he had already persuaded them to go home.

Young Master Shen has always been afraid of his own father, and making friends with Yu Changle and Yu Changle may be the most rebellious and daring thing he has done in more than 20 years.

He didn't expect that Shen Yuanting would be so displeased with monsters.Everyone in the world said that Patriarch Shen was broad-minded, and he could even respect the cultivators of Dongpu, so why did he treat inhuman things like this?

Nine stars have no other reference in monsters, they are the nine stars in the sky corresponding to the nine big monsters in "Nine Songs".The monster clan has different personalities and huge differences, and most of the big monsters don't obey the rules.But if you want to really choose a representative that most of the monster races can trust, it must be Jiuxing. ②

But forcing this as a logo to distinguish inhumans from the human race is another matter entirely.

Compared with the huge number of human races, the non-human beings mixed into the mortal world are definitely a minority.They could live in peace and harmony, but once they were identified, they would be ostracized.

And this move will definitely stir up conflicts between the human race and non-human beings. Shen Yuanting's move is simply to belittle their identities!

In the past hundred years, the relationship between the human race and other beings with spiritual consciousness has improved a lot. Yu Changle originally thought that the two would live in peace and tend to be in harmony.

The day he met Ao Yan and Shen Yuanting, he probably didn't reveal his identity.otherwise……

Yu Changle was very upset, and forced himself to think about Mr. Huansha's intention of mentioning this matter: "It has been many years since there has been no case of inhuman beings disrupting the world on a large scale... Is it true that under the Nine Stars Order, it was originally There are more opposition than support? But what if... the news of the Jianxing flood spread all over the world, and it was found out that it was caused by evil spirits..."

So, what is the direction of the future?

Shen Minghua's expression changed immediately, and Ao Yan's expression was also very ugly.

Dragons have special treatment among monsters, and folks generally regard them as auspicious, and many story books describe dragons in the direction of gods; they are also one of the few monsters who can make friends with human families.

But in the final analysis, it is still a dragon demon.

Yu Changle's identity is even more sensitive, Jiuxing ordered, is he a human or a monster?There must be many mixed-race people like him in the world. If Yu Changle can stay in Yinglu Academy, what about the others?

"Langya should have been involved in this flood." Mr. Liutao said.The original Xiurong Zhong family has declined, and the local aristocratic family has not risen yet, so the Langya Shen family should be the one to come forward for this level of supernatural affairs.

But no matter whether it is the Langya Shen family who has not yet thought that it might be evil spirits, or has thought about it but can't send people for the time being, the current flood is just handed over to the local government, and it is handled as an ordinary matter.

Mr. Liutao smiled and said: "However, since some people come to the academy to ask for help, the academy will do what it can. Let Changle and Zeliu handle this matter."

Yu Changle glanced at this kind old man, feeling sore in his heart.By taking the first step, it may be able to reduce its impact; moreover, if they handle it, there is something to be done in terms of identity.

Shen Minghua's buttocks seemed to have a nail board, and he couldn't sit still. He asked Ai Ai Qiqi: "I...can I go too? I think I should go too."

Not many people knew about how many people went down the mountain. This time, Alan also turned into a white cat to accompany him on this long journey.

"You are the only one in our group." Yu Changle patted Shen Minghua on the shoulder and smiled with complicated emotions.

Shen Minghua was preoccupied, nodded and said, "Yes... hey."

As far as Jianxing is concerned, it is not too far for practitioners.It was quite difficult to fly with a sword in the cold and snowy weather, so the three of them hired a carriage.

The repairer's carriage was very fast, and it was only a few days' journey to Jianxing.The closer to Jianxing, the more signs of flooding, the more humid and colder it is.

Ao Yan raised the curtain, looked at the muddy street outside the window and said, "It's almost here."

Yu Changle opened his eyes in a daze, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.He woke up immediately and stood up.

At this time, the sky was not yet fully lit, and there were no pedestrians in the past at a glance.This is not the place where the disaster is the worst, but it has also revealed a deep gray and cold atmosphere.Even though the new year has just passed, there is no new year atmosphere here.

"My lord!!—"

Suddenly, a hoarse shout broke the atmosphere in the car.Yu Changle was taken aback, then opened the curtain again.

I saw a woman chasing after the speeding carriage. This was an ordinary peasant woman, obviously unable to keep up with the speed of the carriage.
