From the moment Xiao Zhiqing opened it, Yang Chen subconsciously burst into two scorching rays of light in his eyes.
It turned out to be a hidden family!
Lin Ruoxi was a little confused. Seeing Yang Chen's facial expression was a bit solemn, he didn't ask too much.
Yang Chen said: "You don't have to worry about it, you just have to say everything you want to say."
Xiao Zhiqing was slightly afraid of Yang Chen who was suddenly so serious, but she nodded and began to tell...
…
Since the war between the ancient Chinese monks and the Protoss, because Zeus was trapped in the great formation, and Athena was unable to support it alone, and the gods were almost unable to reproduce the Protoss, the gods fell.
At the same time, with the decline of the gods, the ancient monks died dead, disappeared, and there were few broken voids.
However, those particularly powerful monks themselves were inherited from the mantle of those immortals in those earlier times, so their descendants are naturally stronger than most monks.
Following the departure of the powerful monks who fought with the gods during the Tribulation Period, their descendants formed the ancient family. Because of the seclusion, they only seek immortality, and hardly have any fetters with the secular world, they became the secluded family.
As the years have changed, not every family in the hermit family can sustain it all the time.
First, some relatively weak families chose to return to the mortal world, and everyone was stunned, and then some families that had no outstanding descendants were swallowed by other big families.
In the end, there are only three great hermit families in China today, namely the Luo family, the Ning family, and the Xiao family.
These three families all survived tens of thousands of years after the survival of the fittest, and the gradual growth of the ancient family not only occupied a large number of ancient practice methods, but also a large number of magic weapons and elixirs. Of course, because of the assistance of these things, There are also many talents in the family, and there are many elders with unfathomable cultivation.
Relatively speaking, Hongmeng is just a variety of casual cultivators. Although some of the strong people who stand out from the ancient martial arts school, although the number of them must be more than the three major families, they are far less elite than the three major families.
Moreover, at the stage of transforming the gods, because of the existence of the true essence, various magic weapons can be used to meet the enemy, and the conditions of the ancient family are unique.
For a long time, Hongmeng has guarded the ancient great formation on the one hand, and the foundation of China on the other. It has kept a delicate balance with the well water of the ancient family.
Xiao Zhiqing came from the Xiao family, one of the three big families.
Speaking of it, Xiao Zhiqing's status is not low, but the second son of Xiao Mengyu, Xiao Mozheng's only daughter, the head of the Xiao family.
Xiao Mozheng has two sons, but only a daughter, Xiao Zhiqing.
It stands to reason that Xiao Zhiqing should be the jewel in her palm, held in the palm of her hand, she is the most favorite.
However, Xiao Zhi Qingtian was born with "Nine Yin Profound Veins!"
The body of the nine-yin profound veins is destined to not be able to practice any exercises, because the weight of its Yin Qi makes it impossible for the meridians to be incorporated into the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, and the spiritual energy will automatically retreat.
Moreover, the method to heal the Nine Yin Profound Veins has been lost in ancient times.
In the Hidden Family, children who cannot cultivate to the stage of transforming gods, even if they are their own direct descendants, are not respected, and can only be used as peripherals, or just as chores within the family.
And Xiao Zhiqing, a girl who doesn't even have the opportunity to practice, is naturally even more wasteful.
However, another characteristic of the Jiuyin Profound Vessel made the people of the Xiao family treat her differently-invincible!
The Nine Yin Profound Veins can limit the erosion of various toxins. Although the human body has various symptoms, because of the suppression of the cold air, even if it is poisoned, life will be worry-free for almost a hundred years.
You know, the three major families have their own merits. The Luo family's exercises and spells are first-class, and there are many super masters. In addition to the large number of magic weapons, the Ning family has a large number of people. Although not as elite as the Luo family, they are equally matched.
The Xiao family relied on magic weapons and elixirs to gain a foothold!
Refining various elixirs is a major lifeblood of the Xiao family!
If it was in the past, the pill will not definitely work after being refined. In fact, most pill will not be able to judge whether it has achieved the expected effect. After all, the people in the family now have no magical powers of the ancestors of the ancient times. Many pill prescriptions and refining methods are not too sure.
In this way, it is especially necessary to try the effect of the pill.
However, if many medicines are taken carelessly, they may be poisoned and hurt the body, but in serious cases, the internal organs will be ulcerated due to errors in the refining, bleeding from the seven orifices, and loss of cultivation!
It is naturally impossible for the members of the Xiao family to arrest people everywhere to test medicine. For one thing, ordinary people simply cannot bear the properties of medicine. Secondly, every member of the family is precious.
Therefore, the appearance of Xiao Zhiqing almost made the Xiao family feel that it was "fate!"
Although Xiao Zhiqing couldn't practice, the Nine Yin Profound Veins filled her body with cold and aura, not an ordinary person, and even if the test failed, Xiao Zhiqing would not die after being poisoned!
It is equivalent to saying that Xiao Zhiqing's body is like a natural "testing drug experimenter"!
Since Xiao Zhiqing is sensible, almost as long as there is a refined pill, the first one will be sent into her body, so that the elders who later refine the medicine will observe that the pill is in her body. If you have symptoms of poisoning, look for the cause, if there is no response, it will naturally be.
…
"That's why, there were so many unclear complex toxins in your [body] back then?"
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help frowning.
Xiao Zhiqing's eyes were already red, and she would wake up even in dreams when she remembered the tragic things she had experienced since childhood.
Nodded, Xiao Zhiqing said: "They know that if they want to help me suppress the cold toxin of the Nine Yin Profound Veins, not only will Hua spend a lot of precious medicinal materials, but it will also be a waste of time. After all, although I am suffering, I will not die easily.
They don't have your magical techniques, and I still can't believe it. The cold poison that has been with me for almost 20 years has really been suppressed. "
"Almost 20 years?" Yang Chen said blankly: "Are you still under twenty years old?"
Xiao Zhiqing's face blushed "I... Of course I am less than twenty. If anyone grows up like me, it is impossible to look young..."
Lin Ruoxi couldn't listen, and said coldly, "You still want to ask about your age!? How can there be such a cruel family member? Even if you die, you still have to use a living person as a tool to test medicine!?"
Xiao Zhiqing glanced at Lin Ruoxi gratefully, obviously happy that Lin Ruoxi would think so for her.
"Miss Lin, you may not know that, for the hidden family, since ancient times, strength is respected. A daughter like me who can't even cultivate, it's hard not to abandon me. I am in the family. Then my biological father never looked at me directly. My biological grandfather never even touched me..." Xiao Zhiqing sneered, her eyes full of resentment and disdain.
Yang Chen can almost understand why this woman can be so cruel.
Since I was a child, I have lived in such a family where “people cannibalize” people, I’m afraid I’ve long forgotten what conscience is and what kindness is.
Her side was indeed full of filth and ugliness, and it was the darkest side in the world.
Involuntarily, Yang Chen felt a little bit of sympathy. She and her own growth experience were somewhat similar, but she was hurt more deeply.
There was silence in the study for a while, and Lin Ruoxi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you haven't said, where are these ancient families? Now that the technology is so advanced, can no one find out?"
Xiao Zhiqing shook her head and smiled: "Of course I won't be discovered. The location of the ancient family is actually the same as Hongmeng. They are all surrounded by the ancient great formation. When most people get there, they will only think that it is no man's land, but in fact, if If you break open the outermost circle, you will find that there is a different hole in it."
"No man's land?" Yang Chen searched for the map information in his brain, and said in a daze, "Isn't it, Hoh Xil south of Kunlun?"
Xiao Zhiqing nodded. "Kekexili is known to the Chinese people, but it is actually only the tip of the iceberg exposed through the illusion at the outermost periphery. If there is no magic rune that passes through the big formation, it is impossible to enter the inside to see the true face of the ancient world. The space opened up by supernatural powers is huge."
"But, Ke Xili is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Zhonghai. You were in Los Angeles, USA. I would like to ask how you escaped. According to your statement, you have no ability to escape from home by yourself." Yang Chen suspiciously.
