Chapter 926 [No Man's Land]
~.--~
As soon as Xiao Zhiqing opened her eyes, Yang Chen subconsciously burst into two scorching rays of light.
It turned out to be a hidden family! ?
Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, was a little puzzled. Seeing Yang Chen's serious expression, she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, she didn't understand after listening, so she just let Yang Chen explain.
Yang Chen said: "You don't need to worry about it, you just need to say what you want to say."
Xiao Zhiqing felt a little afraid of Yang Chen who was suddenly so serious, but she still nodded and began to talk...
...
Since the ancient Chinese monks fought against the Protoss, because Zeus was trapped in the formation, and Athena was unable to support them alone, and the gods could hardly reproduce the Protoss, the gods fell.
At the same time, with the decline of the gods, the ancient monks also died, disappeared, and there were very few broken voids.
However, those particularly powerful monks themselves also inherited the mantle of those immortals from earlier times, so their descendants are naturally stronger than most monks.
After the powerful monks who fought against the gods left, their descendants formed the ancient family. Because they were hidden from the world, they only sought the way of immortality, and they hardly had any fetters with the world, so they became the hermit family.
Time has changed, and not all hermit families can maintain it forever.
First, some relatively weak families chose to return to the mortal world, disappearing from everyone, and then some families that did not have any outstanding successors were annexed by other big families.
In the end, in the whole of China today, there are only three great hermit families, namely the Luo family, the Ning family, and the Xiao family.
These three families have survived the survival of the fittest for thousands of years, and have grown gradually. They not only possess a large number of ancient practice methods, but also a large number of magic weapons and elixir. Of course, because of these things, There are also outstanding talents in the family, and there are many elders with unfathomable cultivation.
Relatively speaking, Hongmeng is just a variety of casual cultivators. Although the number of strong men who stand out from some ancient martial arts sects must exceed the three major families, they are far less elite than the three major families.
Moreover, after reaching the stage of transforming gods, because of the existence of true energy, they can use various magic weapons to meet the enemy. The conditions of the ancient family are unique.
For a long time, Hongmeng has been guarding the ancient great formation firstly, and guarding the foundation of China on the other hand, maintaining a delicate balance with the ancient family.
Xiao Zhiqing is from the Xiao family, one of the three major families.
Speaking of which, Xiao Zhiqing's status is not low, she is the head of the Xiao family, the second son of Xiao Mengyu, and the only daughter of Xiao Mozheng.
Xiao Mozheng has two sons, but only one daughter, Xiao Zhiqing.
It stands to reason that Xiao Zhiqing should be the jewel in the palm of her hand, and she should be the most beloved in the palm of her hand.
However, Xiao Zhiqing was born with "Nine Yin Profound Veins!"
The body of the Nine Yin Profound Veins is destined to be unable to practice any kung fu, because its Yin Qi is so heavy that the meridians cannot be absorbed into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all, 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 hermit family, children who cannot cultivate to the stage of transforming gods, even if they are the direct descendants, are not respected, and can only be treated as peripherals, or just as handymen within the family.
And Xiao Zhiqing, a girl who doesn't even have the opportunity to practice, is naturally even more trash.
However, another major characteristic of the Nine Yin Profound Veins made the people of the Xiao family treat her differently——one hundred poisons do not invade!
The Nine Yin Profound Veins can limit the erosion of various toxins, so that although the human body will have various symptoms, due to the suppression of the cold air, even if it is poisoned, it will be safe for almost a hundred years.
One must know that the three major families have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Luo family has first-class skills and spells, and has many super masters. The Ning family, in addition to having many magic weapons, also has a large number of people. Although it is not as elite as the Luo family, it is also comparable.
The Xiao family, however, relies on magic weapons and pills to gain a foothold!
Refining various pills is the lifeblood of the Xiao family!
In the past, pills were not absolutely effective after being refined. In fact, most of the pills could not be judged whether they had achieved the desired effect. After all, the members of the current family no longer had the supernatural powers of their ancestors in ancient times. Many alchemy recipes and refining methods are also not very sure.
In this way, it is especially necessary to try the effect of the pill.
However, many elixirs, if taken carelessly, can be poisoned and hurt the body at the slightest, and the internal organs will fester due to refining errors, the seven orifices will bleed, and the cultivation base will be wasted!
It is naturally impossible for members of the Xiao family to arrest people everywhere to test the medicine. First, ordinary people simply cannot bear the properties of the medicine. Second, every family member is precious. Even if they only have innate cultivation, it is still human life!
Therefore, the appearance of Xiao Zhiqing almost made the Xiao family feel that it was "destiny!"
Although Xiao Zhiqing was unable to cultivate, the Nine Yin Profound Veins filled her body with cold aura, which made her not an ordinary person. Moreover, even if the test drug failed, Xiao Zhiqing would not die if she was poisoned!
It is equivalent to saying that Xiao Zhiqing's body is like a natural "experimental body for drug testing"!
Since Xiao Zhiqing was sensible, almost as soon as there was a refined pill, the first one would be sent into her body, and the elders who refined the medicine later would observe the changes of the pill in her body. When the symptoms of poisoning occur, look for the cause. If there is no reaction, it will happen naturally.
...
"That's why, back then, there were so many complex toxins in your body?"
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help frowning.
Xiao Zhiqing's eyes were already flushed, thinking of such a tragic thing that she experienced since she was a child, she would wake up even from a dream.
Nodding her head, Xiao Zhiqing said: "They know that if they want to help me suppress the cold poison of the Nine Yin Profound Veins, not only would it take a lot of precious medicinal materials, but it would also be a waste of time. After all, although I am in pain, I will not die easily.
They don't have your miraculous skills. I still can't believe it. The cold poison that has been with me for nearly twenty years is really suppressed. "
"Almost twenty years?" Yang Chen said in a daze, "Are you still under twenty years old?"
Xiao Zhiqing's face flushed slightly, "I... Of course I'm under twenty, if anyone grows up like me, it's impossible to look young..."
Lin Ruoxi couldn't bear to listen, and said coldly: "You still have the heart to ask your age!? How can there be such a cruel family member? Even if they die, they still use living people as tools for testing medicine!?"
Xiao Zhiqing glanced at Lin Ruoxi gratefully, obviously very happy that Lin Ruoxi would think of her so much.
"Miss Lin, you may not know that for the hermit family, since ancient times, strength is the most important thing. For a daughter like me who can't even cultivate, it is already very difficult not to abandon me. I am in the family. Then my biological father never looked at me directly, and my biological grandfather never even touched me..." Xiao Zhiqing sneered, her eyes were full of resentment and disdain.
Yang Chen can almost understand why this woman is so cruel.
Living in such a family where "cannibalism" is not an exaggeration, I am afraid that I have long forgotten what conscience is and what kindness is.
Her side is indeed full of filth and ugliness, and it is the darkest side of the world.
Involuntarily, Yang Chen felt a little sympathetic to each other, her growth experience and his own were somewhat similar, but she was probably hurt even more deeply.
There was silence in the study for a while, Lin Ruoxi suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, you haven't said where these ancient families are? Now that technology is so advanced, no one has discovered it?"
Xiao Zhiqing shook her head and smiled: "Of course they won't be discovered. The location of the ancient family is actually similar to that of Hongmeng, and they are all surrounded by the ancient formation. Ordinary people will only think it is no man's land when they go there, but in fact, if they Break through the outermost formation eye, and you will find that there is a hole in the sky."
"No man's land?" Yang Chen searched the map information in his brain, and said in a daze, "Didn't it mean Hoh Xil, south of Kunlun?"
Xiao Zhiqing nodded, "Kokexili is known to the Chinese people, but it is actually just the tip of the iceberg exposed through the illusion on the outermost periphery. If there is no magic talisman that passes through the large formation, it is impossible to enter the interior to see the real face. It is opened by the ancient great supernatural powers. One side of the space is huge."
"However, Kexili is thousands of miles away from Zhonghai. You were in Los Angeles, the United States. I would like to ask how you escaped. According to your statement, you have no ability to escape from home by yourself." Yang Chen said suspiciously. ~.--~
