Too Reckless - Vol 14 Chapter 9

Xie Qiutao was held in her arms by Miss Qiu, and her mouth was covered. Although she knew that she could not be too extreme, she had wandered abroad for many years and met her close relative again.

“Ugh…”

Xie Qiutao stared straight at the woman on the ground, tears blurring her clear pupils.

When Shangguan Yutang saw the woman was stunned, he had already let go of his hand. To be on the safe side, he reminded him, “You’d better keep quiet.”

Then he looked at Zuo Lingquan beside him:

“Have you touched enough?”

Zuo Lingquan’s mind was focused on Qiutao’s mother and daughter, but he really didn’t pay attention to the five fingers trapped in the plump group.

After being reminded by the ancestor, Zuo Lingquan’s hand was released from the softness, and his eyes kept looking at Qiu Tao who came over.

Miss Qiu’s thoughts were also on Qiu Tao, and she forgot to think deeply about the words “accustomed to” by the ancestor, she hugged Qiu Tao and said softly:

“Don’t get excited, this is not the place to talk.”

The woman on the ground, after staying for a while, may have been awakened by Miss Qiu’s words, and quickly got up from the ground:

“Why did you come here…Come on, don’t stay here, you come with me…”

Speaking of which, the woman took a few sets of robes from Linglong Pavilion, as well as a waist badge engraved with the emblem, and handed it to a few people, her eyes always looking at Qiu Tao in Miss Qiu’s arms.

Shangguan Yutang didn’t trust this woman who was supposed to be a prisoner of an alien race, but looking at the joys and sorrows of the world, she could see that the woman’s feelings for her daughter were not fake. on the body.

Xie Qiutao’s mouth was released, but she clenched her teeth tightly and did not speak. After looking at the woman, she lowered her head and put her clothes on her body silently. .

The woman was obviously a little disappointed, and she felt unspeakable guilt in her heart. She didn’t dare to go and hug the little girl who had already grown into a big girl. After glancing at everyone, she turned around and walked towards the big lake.

Zuo Lingquan turned around and patted Qiu Tao on the back, and followed him together; although he had been paying attention to Qiu Tao, out of the corner of his eye he also noticed that Miss Qiu was looking at the woman’s back, a little dazed.

Zuo Lingquan hesitated and asked in his heart, “What’s wrong?”

Miss Qiu noticed Zuo Lingquan’s question, and after turning her head to meet her eyes, she shook her head again without saying anything.

In fact, Zuo Lingquan could roughly guess that every family had a hard-to-read scripture, and seeing others reunited, it was inevitable that he would be reminded of himself.

The river bend is not far from Xuanwu Lake. The woman walked in front and brought a few people to the garden by the lake. They walked along a secluded path and approached the back door of a house.

The house is very empty, and you can hear some human voices and the low humming of beasts on the shore of the lake outside.

The woman entered a living room in the house, looked around a few times, and closed the door only after making sure that no one was paying attention.

As soon as the shielding formation was opened, the woman instantly changed her personality. She couldn’t hold back her suppressed emotions any longer. She ran over and hugged Qiu Tao, who was standing there in a daze, tears pouring down like rain:

“Autumn peach…”

Xie Qiutao clenched her silver teeth and didn’t say a word, but she couldn’t hold back her tears. She didn’t hug her mother, whom she had missed day and night for many years, but she was reluctant to push it away, she just kept silent.

Shangguan Yutang shook his head slightly and sat down beside the tea table with a flat tone:

“There is no conflict between right and wrong. Let’s talk about the right things first, and it’s not too late to talk about the old things later.”

Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu also held three points of vigilance in their hearts and kept their eyes on the woman, but they could not speak too directly, Zuo Lingquan said:

“Sit down first, Qiu Tao has been thinking about Aunt Xie all these years, looking for Aunt Xie’s whereabouts all over the world, but unfortunately nothing, how did Aunt Xie come here.”

The woman knew why Qiu Tao was so indifferent to her, and also knew that several people doubted her position and had to examine the background.

The woman let go of her hand reluctantly, sat down beside Yutang, suppressed the waves in the heart lake, and said softly:

“My name is Xie Wen, I am the forty-sixth generation grandson of Xuanwutai, and the current head of the family. Back then, our family of three was approached by alien monks. In order to prevent Qiu Tao from falling into the enemy’s hands, we threw Qiu Tao into the sea. Desperately blocking it; helpless, the alien shot was Zhang Zhilu, the Hunyuan Tianzun, our husband and wife were not opponents at all, even asking for death was an extravagant hope, and was caught on the spot.”

Zuo Lingquan heard the ancestors talk about Hunyuan Tianzun Zhang Zhilu, the second-in-command of the Kui Bingzhou human race. His status is similar to that of the emperor’s emperor, and he is indeed a giant. He asked:

“People of this level personally take action against you, is it for the Xuanwu bloodline inherited from the Xie family?”

Xie Wen nodded lightly: “When the first-generation patriarch of the Xie family fought against the extraterritorial demons, he was favored by the gods and became a divine envoy; although the ancestors finally flew away, this bloodline has been passed down and has been diluted by more than 40 generations. It is still stronger than other creations of heaven and earth, and it is the purest basalt power between heaven and earth. For nearly a hundred years of alien races, we have become the primary goal of collecting the power of gods in Jiuzhou.”

Shangguan Yutang nodded slightly: “You are still in the way, why didn’t the aliens touch you in the end?”

This is the question that everyone is most concerned about. Xie Qiutao pursed his lips, obviously wanting to ask “Did you defect with your father”, but she couldn’t say it.

Like Xie Wen and Qiu Tao, she has been adhering to the family motto and the demons since childhood. She obviously blamed herself for this matter, she said softly:

“After Zhang Zhilu caught our couple, he was going to smelt the blood on the spot to extract the power of Xuanwu, but at that time, Mei Jinshui from the north came over and stopped Zhang Zhilu.”

Having said that, seeing that Shangguan Yutang looked wrong, Xie Wen added:

“I’m not saying that Mei Jinshui is a good person who abides by the right way. Mei Jinshui is the leader of an alien race with a very clear purpose, standing in the absolute opposite of the right way; but Mei Jinshui’s way of acting is different from that of other alien races. Focusing on the heart, she will teach by words and deeds, instill her own ideas in her subordinates, and make her subordinates agree with her beliefs from the bottom of their hearts.

“Shang Yin’s strong men are like clouds, but many of them are profit-seeking people. They only obey the strong and will be wise and protect themselves; Mei Jinshui is not the case. There are not many people, but all of them are loyal. Not afraid of death and forbearance for a thousand years, Mei Jinshui is stronger than Shang Yin in terms of skill.”

Shangguan Yutang, a person with such a hard spine, was under the influence of Mei Jinshui, and took the initiative to go to Xiangyangcheng to worship the pier, and he understood the power of Mei Jinshui. She asked:

“You were influenced by Mei Jinshui’s statement and switched to her camp?”

Xie Wen shook his head: “Cut off the Dao of Longevity, the ancestors of the Xie family contributed a lot, as a descendant, how can I go against the beliefs of my ancestors, no matter what Mei Jinshui said, I did not shake the Dao’s heart, just wanted to die.

“But at some point, begging for death is a cowardly act. Mei Jinshui told me a very simple truth at the time – my death cannot change the fact that aliens have taken away the power of Xuanwu, and my blood is not enough. In order to achieve the goal, whether you like it or not, you have to continue to look for the scattered clansmen of the Xie family, as well as the creatures of the Xuanwu lineage, including you who just escaped. They can chase, but they don’t chase it.

“If I don’t want to see this situation, I can only change to a softer method – cultivate spirit beasts with basaltic bloodline, let them voluntarily contribute part of the bloodline power in their bodies, and accumulate a lot to achieve their goals. The world can do this It’s just me and you, I don’t agree, it saves a lot of trouble for the aliens, just kill them all the way.”

Xie Wen looked at the tearful Qiu Tao: “Mother doesn’t want to contribute to the alien race, but the two evils are the lesser of the two. If there is no way to stop them, I can only choose to save most of the creatures and even your life…”

Shangguan Yutang listened quietly and nodded slightly:

“This is a helpless move, and it’s not your fault.”

Xie Qiutao knew that her mother would not conspire with the evil demons, so she pursed her lips and asked:

“What’s the matter with Daddy? I saw it at Shen Hao Sect…”

“Your father is not Xie’s family.”

When Xie Wen mentioned her husband, she showed a bit of helplessness:

“He doesn’t care about the ancestral teachings of the Xie family at all, he only cares about whether you and I are safe. It’s impossible for aliens to fully believe me, and leaving you outside is also for me to do things for them in a down-to-earth manner, without any dissent.

“In order to keep you from getting involved in this matter, your father made an agreement with Mei Jinshui, Mei Jinshui guarantees that you will grow up in a stable manner, and then give up monitoring you; he helps Mei Jinshui to take your place and take your place. Make sure I don’t get offended.

“Mother accepts apprentices here because these children are pure and kind people by nature, but they are born in a different race, and there is nothing wrong with them; if I don’t teach them, they will also be sent to Hunyuanzong and Chiwugu, and they will become righteous in the future. It is better for me to teach myself, at least the people I teach will keep a trace of fire in their hearts, so that when Jiuzhou is in turmoil, it is impossible to tell right from black and white…”

Xie Qiutao listened carefully, her eyes were misty, and after Xie Wen finished speaking, she sniffed:

“Mother, I knew that you and Daddy wouldn’t give up and scare me to death… Now we’re here, we’ll take you out, and we’ll kill the aliens in the future…”

When Xie Wen saw her once aura-filled daughter, her eyes showed unspeakable relief, but she shook her head for taking her out:

“Mother can’t leave, once mother leaves, let’s not talk about your father’s safety for the time being, the ten thousand spirit beasts in the lake outside will definitely not escape. The aliens don’t supervise me, even if I know the door is open, I can’t leave, knowing you Everything is fine with your father, and your mother is already satisfied.”

Spiritual beasts are connected with human nature, and they all regard their owners as their parents and relatives. Knowing that the aliens will forcibly extract the power of Xuanwu after they leave, Qiu Tao’s mother must not be ruthless.

The evil way can achieve its goals by any means, but the right way cannot forget responsibility and morality. Shangguan Yutang knows that this kind of imprisonment is far stronger than the iron chain and the wooden shackles. Thinking about it, he said:

“Knowing that you are here, Dao’s heart has not been shaken, we will definitely take you back in the future, so as not to let any fellow Daoist feel cold.”

Xie Wen shook his head gently: “When you fall into this situation, it will be difficult to leave. You don’t have to force it, as long as Qiu Tao is safe and sound.”

Xie Qiutao’s eyes are very tangled. She really wants to reunite with her mother and never be separated again, but she also understands the current situation of her mother. , can only aim the grievance and anger at Youying Alien, and asked:

“What kind of tricks are the aliens doing? They asked you to raise spirit beasts to gain the power of Xuanwu, what are they trying to do?”

Xie Wen sighed: “My heart is not on the side of the alien race. If I knew the plan, I would definitely try to send the news out. How could the alien race not think of this, and any information involving the core of the alien race would not be passed on to me. But through these years I can also see some clues from the observation…”

The purpose of Shangguan Yutang’s coming here is to find out the purpose of the alien race to collect the power of divine beasts. At this time, his eyes focused a bit, as did Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu.

“…This is the Cangsha Ancient River, the place of enlightenment of an immortal emperor in ancient times, and the only well-preserved immortal emperor’s cave in Jiuzhou. The aliens operate here, they should be trying to pass the structure of the cave of the monks in the Nine Gai Realm, and push the nine The physical condition of the monks in Gaijing, so as to find the way to maintain the realm in this world…”

Due to their realm, Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu could not understand this, but Shangguan Yutang understood the meaning of these words.

To put it bluntly, Jiuzhou is a big bucket, and all living beings are fish in it.

Sealing the Taiyin God to disturb the balance of yin and yang is equivalent to muddying the topmost water surface, making it impossible for any fish to swim to their original height, let alone jump out of the bucket.

And the fish in other buckets, even if they jumped in through this layer of stagnant water forcibly, will be forced to lower their heights and not be able to exert their full strength under the constraints of heaven and earth; this kind of existence, Jiuzhou natives have no pressure to deal with, Therefore, since the Dao of Longevity was cut off, there has never been an incident of a demon descending into the world.

Xie Wen said that he found a way to maintain the state in this world, obviously referring to finding a way to let the monks in the Jiugai realm survive forcibly in the dead water at the top.

As long as this can be done, even if it is only for a short period of time, with the ability of the Jiu Gai cultivator, it is enough to fly out of the sky and jump out, or find a way to restore the balance of the heaven and the earth.

But the premise of this is that there must be an Immortal Emperor.

The yin and yang are not equal, and it is destined to be unable to break through Wangji. The way that the ancestors locked this world completely eliminated the younger generation’s desire to once again dominate Jiuzhou.

The only way for contemporary monks to become Immortal Emperors is for most monks to join forces, use their lives to clear the way, and forcefully open the way of longevity; and if you want to stop this, you only need an Immortal Monarch not to agree.

For example, Shangguan Yutang, as long as she doesn’t want the longevity road to be opened, she can run around in the dark, and other immortals dare to try and run to make trouble. She is not dead, no matter how many immortals are, it is difficult to accomplish this feat.

This is the first move of the ancestors, giving all the immortals a veto power. If the entire human race and even the demon race are united, when the longevity road is to be opened, the longevity road should really be opened.

The ancient sages were not at all worried about whether someone would deliberately make trouble and want to drag Jiuzhou to death at the time of life and death.

First of all, to open the way of longevity, for the powerhouse at the level of immortals, there are many benefits without any harm, and cutting the way of longevity is to think that one’s own life is long, and there are hundreds of harms but no benefit.

An immortal who insists on not opening the way of longevity will definitely not be a mental retardation who harms others and not himself. Now the conservatives are all virtuous and well-respected immortals, which also proves this.

Secondly, even if someone loses his mind, or a person misjudges, they will not open it if they intervene in the block. Other Immortal Monarchs can join forces to kill this person, so that everyone agrees.

At that time, even if everyone is wrong, it will be the choice of the representatives of the entire Jiuzhou life. It is not the fault of one person that will harm Jiuzhou.

The current route of the Youying Alien Race is to destroy the righteous path, and then reach the consensus of everyone.

Although this decision has led to the thousands of years of war between Zhengdao and the Youying alien race, there has never been a day of peace.

But wanting Jiuzhou to maintain relative peace in this three thousand world where the weak and the strong eat, and also wanting the living beings to keep their martial virtues in peace at all times, so as not to lose their blood in the gentle township, this is already the best choice for the ancestors. .

Originally, this arrangement was impeccable, no matter how you choose it, even if the aliens win Jiuzhou in the end, the will of God is so irresistible.

But if an Immortal Emperor appeared out of thin air in the world, then all these things would change.

After Shangguan Yutang heard what Xie Wen said, he frowned and said:

“Understanding the physique of the monks in the Nine Gai Realm, and finding a way to maintain the realm in this world, the premise is that there is a monk in the Nine Gai Realm. It is difficult for the aliens to find another way, and before they can get through the longevity road, they conjured one out of thin air. Immortal Emperor?”

This statement made Zuo Lingquan and Miss Qiu stunned for a moment, and it was a bit difficult to understand.

In the early stage of cultivation, you can still rely on the seniors to pull a hand. It’s all immortal, and there is no one above to help. Everything depends on yourself, and the ceiling is blocked. How can you change it on the roof without breaking the ceiling. out in person?

Xie Wen obviously didn’t know the details, and shook his head:

“I don’t know exactly what the alien race wants to do. I can only guess that it has something to do with the immortal emperor to seize the power of the gods and study the ancient Cangsha River. You have to check the rest yourself.”

Shangguan Yutang thought about it for a long time and felt that this guess was too unrealistic, but things are impermanent.

“Does anyone here know the inside story?”

“There are all arrested people and apprentices here. It is impossible for anyone to know such secrets. And this is not the core place of alien races. It is just a workshop to extract the power of gods.”

Xie Wen looked outside: “There are also four places along the river that are similar to Xuanwu Lake. Going downstream is Zhuque Gorge. The remnant soul of the pill-stealing pill was sent here, and it was taken away after staying for a while; The power of the gods collected by Xuanwu Lake will also be sent away on a regular basis, and I don’t know where it was sent.”

Shangguan Yutang frowned. The most mysterious place for the information she extracted from Xuan Ye’s mouth was the ancient Cangsha River. If this was just a workshop, it would be difficult to check the secret plans and locations of the alien race.

Miss Qiu listened to it for a long time, but she didn’t dare to make a judgment that she didn’t understand. After hearing the remnant soul of the pill, she asked:

“The aliens attacked the barren mountains and stole the pills at a very fast speed, and they knew the seal formation very well, so they seemed to have an inner response. But we haven’t found any inner response yet. The Lord Barren Mountain is still suspected by Dongzhou, and my aunt knows that at that time. Case?”

Miss Qiu’s ancestor, Qiu Boyue, has been cleaned up badly since she neglected her duty as a guard for stealing pills. Until now, she can’t raise her head to speak in the Nine Sects. Everyone knows that Qiu Boyue is innocent, but the explanation of the situation is not clear. This cauldron has to be carried to death. Miss Qiu is asking now, and she also wants to mention her ancestors to clear up her grievances.

Xie Wen thought about it carefully and said softly:

“I didn’t know about it until after the pill was sent back. People from Cangsheng Ancient River didn’t expect that the alien race could really rob the pill, and there were still many people who asked. I also inquired at the time. Because the pill has been brought back, This matter is not a secret, the traitor is definitely not the Lord of the Barren Mountain, it is said that he seems to be the person who guards the Temple of the Soldiers, took a prisoner, and asked for the defense information of the Barren Mountain.”

“captive?”

Miss Qiu frowned and felt that this statement was a bit false. Those who knew the specific deployment of the barren mountain and even had access to the seal of stealing pills were at least the core elders of Jing Terrace, and it was obviously difficult for a person of this level to fall into the hands of aliens, and even more so. Needless to say, the news is alive.

However, the Seal of Stealing Pills has existed for three thousand years and cannot be changed. There may always be a few people who leaked information in history, and this matter is uncertain.

Miss Qiu thought for a while, and then asked, “Does my aunt know where the prisoner is now?”

Xie Wen said: “I don’t know this, and it’s hard for me to go out.”

Shangguan Yutang thought for a while and responded:

“Behind the Tianying Fort in the Temple of the Soldiers, there is a blessed land of yellow beams, which can help people forget their past and mortal calamities, and can also put people into it, falsify their lives and obtain information. A lot of information about the right way is leaked there. If this If it’s true, it should be there.”

Miss Qiu opened her mouth, obviously wanting to go over to take a look, but she glanced at Qiu Tao, who had been looking at her mother, and didn’t know what to do now.

Shangguan Yutang stood up and said, “You mother and daughter haven’t seen each other for many years. Let’s have a good chat. We have to leave before dawn. You don’t have to be sad. The deity said that he will pick you up. Come back and you will be able to do it.”

Miss Qiu got up when she saw this.

Zuo Lingquan was also going to follow him out to give the two of them time to be alone, but Xie Wen glanced at Zuo Lingquan and said:

“Are you Zuo Lingquan?”

“Exactly, in my uncle’s letter just now…”

“Sit down and talk.”

“Forehead…”

Zuo Lingquan glanced at the back of Tangtang’s head, and sat back in the chair with a smile, sitting upright.

And Qiu Tao, who was still crying just now, also blushed inexplicably at this time, showing a bit of nervousness…
