"Kong An, Kong An, don't ask about the affairs of the world in your life, and you can live in peace with one hole."
Sitting on a high mountain peak, the old man in a ragged coat was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. It was an old man who Ye Qiusheng called "bad old man". His hair was disheveled and his face was full of wrinkles carved by the years. Those wrinkles seemed to hide a lot of secrets. The old man's clothes were partly opened, and his bare chest was red after drinking.
The old man was sitting on the top of a mountain in Taishangzong, sitting in the snow all over the sky, his clothes were tattered, like an inconspicuous tramp. But this old man like a tramp was not afraid of the severe cold in the snow. Before the snow fell and touched him, it turned into a white mist.
Shaking the wine jar, the old man recited in a low voice the line about the sheriff who dedicated himself to the people, looking at the rolling mountains.
Taishang Sect is the closest to the extreme north of the Eight Sects of Immortal Sect except the Beast Sect. It is located in the snow veins in the northern part of the Tuqi Dynasty. There are many snow mountains formed in ancient times here, which have been accumulated for tens of thousands of years. The cold snow piled up layer by layer, eventually forming a dark blue layer of mysterious ice.
When the sun shines on the top of these peaks, the mysterious ice layer will reflect a faint, dreamlike light, which is cold and beautiful.
It is rare that there is no snow all year round here, and the white snow falls endlessly with the wind, from the ancient barbaric era to the present era, as if it will continue until the end of time.
The place where Xuemai is located is very cold between the sky and the earth, so heavy that it seems that there are small knives made of ice pierced into the cracks in the bones all the time. In the eyes of outsiders, the people of Taishangzong stay in this kind of place. It's like ice, with a dead face all day long.
But only the people of Taishangzong knew well that what was like ice was all stretched out to fool outsiders. As the facade of immortal cultivators, the Eight Sects of the Immortal Sect, which one is not so immortal, so as not to be compared with other immortal sects, in front of others, the disciples of the Supreme Sect must wear Taoist robes to act as cold as ice. look.
However, in fact, Taishangzong's people are actually a group of warlike drunkards.
The Taishangzong is located in the cold pulse of the world that can make the roots of the immortals tremble from the cold. Except for the powerful ones who have retreated, none of the disciples are shivering. The weather is cold and the snow is shrouded all the year round. In order to train the disciples, the elders of the sect are not allowed to light the stove in the sect.
In this case, spirits became a must for heating.
After drinking the scorching knife-like liquor, the smell of alcohol rose, and once there was any quarrel, it was perfectly normal to resolve it directly with fists and kicks.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is unattainable, and the immortal Taishangzong is such a group of things.
It's just that although there are many drunkards in Taishangzong, there is only one person who dares to drink on the top of Shengxue Peak in the entire sect.
It was Ye Qiusheng's master, that old man with messy hair and tattered clothes, who was always half drunk and sleepy in Ye Qiusheng's memory.
Bad old man is just what Ye Qiusheng called him. In Taishangzong, everyone called him an elder, whether it was a young disciple who just started or other elders, even the head of the sect, they all called him that.
As for what the bad old man's name is and what kind of elder he is, no one knows about the disciples of the other sect except the one at the highest level of the sect.
"Elder."
When the old man was half lying on the ground with Erlang's legs crossed and watching Xuefeng drink, Yun Zimo, the head of Taishangzong, walked up slowly wearing a dark blue robe, holding a jar of wine in his hand.
Yun Zimo, the head of Taishangzong, does not look like a drunkard, but he is more in line with the outside world's perception of Taishangzong. His face is very thin, always serious, with a cold and stern expression like a knife. Watching him walk over, you will feel that an ice skate is splitting the world.
But such a person is very respectful in front of the ragged old man.
"Zi Mo, drink."
The bad old man leaned on the ground with his arms, propped his head up, and did not look back at Yun Zimo who was walking up, still looking at the undulating snow peaks and ridges.
Yun Zimo sat cross-legged and straight beside him, and patted the altar cover off.
"Kong An, Yan Zhen. When the fake is true, the real is also fake. You are really old. You have been smart for such a long time, but in the end you were fooled by a young junior." The bad old man shook the wine jar and suddenly smiled One sound.
Kong An, the genius of the Taishangzong back then, on a snowy day not long after he became famous, he changed his name to Yan Zhen and left the Taishangzong following the secret order of his master, and went to the Southern Chen Dynasty, which later became the Southern Chen Dynasty. The county guard guarded Yanmen County, which has ancient secrets, and finally died in Yanmen County.
In the eyes of the elders of the sect, he was a genius disciple who sacrificed for the sect.
They have always thought so. In the secret ancestral hall of Taishangzong, his spirit card is still displayed. Before all the disciples who are sent to perform important tasks leave the sect, they will be led by the elders of the sect into the place where the holy snow is set. In the secret ancestral hall under the peak, countless longevity candles are lit there.
In the light of the longevity candle, the elder told the stories of these heroes of the sect to the younger generation, saying that they are the best disciples of the sect.
In this way, the flame of a hero is planted in the souls of young children through candlelight and statements.
However, following the exposure of the scripture-holding elder a few days ago, the sect had no choice but to look back at these sleeping heroic souls of the sect in pain. The scripture-holding elder was Kong An's descendant, he committed suicide calmly, but his identity still forced the sect to start investigating Kong An, who had died long ago.
The upheaval of the Qi Qin Dynasty has already explained one thing, the action against the Zongmen started a long time ago.
When Kong An left, he was carrying the task of suppressing the eighteen out-of-control Gu Clan from the Chaos Era underground in Yanmen County. However, the figure of the "devil" has joined the battle between the Dynasty and the Immortal Sect. Kong An was responsible for a great deal at the beginning, and after painstaking pursuits, Taishangzong had to realize one thing painfully.
That amazingly talented and youngest elder of the Taishang is indeed a member of the dynasty.
The name Taishangzong thought was a pseudonym, Yan Zhen, was his real name.
"Young people are awesome." The bad old man said, "The emperors of Jin Tang, Qi Qin, and Nan Chen are not too old. Some young people personally uncovered the frenzy that even an old man like me would turn pale. , and it also makes people feel awe-inspiring.”
Yun Zimo didn't speak, he was a taciturn person, he just drank wine one after another, and it took a long time before he said: "What are you going to do, it's about that child."
The wine jar in the bad old man's hand was placed on the ground.
Yun Zimo didn't say the name of "that child", but both of them knew it well - it was Ye Qiusheng, the current elder brother of Taishangzong.
Regarding Ye Qiusheng's true identity, Yun Zimo is one of the few insiders in this world.
It was a cooperation, the cooperation between Jiuxuanmen and Taishangzong.
When most of the people were unaware, they, the top figures of the sect, had already vaguely felt the approaching and elusive crisis.
The time of Emperor Chen Ying was one of the moments when Xianmen was closest to the true face of the crisis. But at that time, the emperors of Jin Tang, Qi Qin and Nan Chen reacted too quickly. When Xianmen was just alerted, they had already adopted the most effective method of cutting off their tails to survive and giving up their soldiers to protect the car.
It has to be said that that is a very effective method. At least in this way, no matter how much doubts Xianmen has in his heart, he will not be able to take further measures on the surface.
But Yi Heping, the head of the Nine Profound Sect at that time, was not deceived by this illusion. He came to Taishangzong alone, and after secretly spying on the head of Taishangzong and several important elders of Taishangzong, Taishangzong reached a cooperation with Jiuxuanmen.
Jin Tang's Skynet was unfolding, and they couldn't get a glimpse of the entirety of Skynet. However, during the turmoil, Jiuxuanmen used their own means to obtain a sliver of information. Take the gamble.
What Jiuxuanmen and Taishangzong want to do is to find the two children who are called Ji's fate.
They're halfway there.
In Yun Zimo's memory, not long after the head of the Taishangzong visited, the old man also secretly left the sect.
A month later, he brought back Ye Qiusheng, who was just a baby at the time.
In fact, according to the original plan, Ye Qiusheng was going to be eliminated in this interception. Just before swinging the knife, the bad old man sighed.
For the sake of the sect's fate, using despicable means such as assassination is not justice in itself, and for the responsibility of the adult world to attack an ignorant baby who knows nothing, it is even less a man should for the matter.
So in the end, the bad old man brought Ye Qiusheng back to Taishangzong and named him.
Ye Qiusheng's real name should be Ji Guiyun, and he is the child that the Jintang royal family regards as hope.
This was originally a secret known to only a few people in the sect, but Ye Qiusheng's identity was also involved when he was investigating Kong An some time ago.
Now there is a lot of discussion in the sect, and what is in dispute is about Ye Qiusheng's identity.
It's just that on this matter, the elders of the sect did not express their attitude from the beginning to the end, and kept a strange silence.
"That brat Qiu Sheng will be back in a few days."
asked the bad old man.
"That's what the news from Tianji Valley says. Bailishu has come out of the Shadow Plane, and they are about to leave Tianji Valley."
Yun Zimo still had that serious expression.
"That's it."
The bad old man casually threw the wine jar down from the top of the high mountain. He stood up, raised his head, and sneered.
"You want me to fall apart? Dreaming!"
