Chapter 1137 Qingyou Valley Xiao Family
Fulong City
This Fulong City is not the Fulong City in Youzhou, the Middle Earth. It is located in the territory of Wu State and is one of the three major cities of Wu State.
On this day, a man and a woman were walking on the streets of Fulong City. The man was wearing a green robe, with a fair face, regular features, and long hair tied tightly behind his back.
However, a strand of white hair on his forehead attracted many people's attention.
Next to him was a tall woman in a white robe. The woman was wearing a veil, revealing only two beautiful eyes, flashing with a smart light.
Just this pair of eyes attracted countless eyes around. As if she felt these eyes, the woman couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Fulong City was very prosperous and lively.
Xiao Lin, who was walking in the city, was full of emotion. After he sought immortality, Xiao Shi brought his family to live in this Fulong City.
At that time, Fulong City was still under the jurisdiction of Yuxi State. Now, with the passage of time, things have changed and people have changed. The Yuxi State of that time has long been lost in the red dust of history.
Only a few old buildings still carry a trace of the heavy atmosphere of the past.
The two walked slowly on the wide street, feeling the turmoil of the world.
Xiao Lin looked at the expressions of these mortals, some were filled with happy smiles, some were in a hurry, and some were full of sorrow, with seven emotions and six desires perfectly displayed on their faces.
But Xiao Lin suddenly had a feeling that perhaps this was life.
The life of a mortal is only a hundred years, and it passes in the blink of an eye. Whether it is success or poverty, it will eventually return to dust. The final ending is to re-enter the reincarnation and fall into an endless cycle.
Of course, Xiao Lin didn't know whether the underworld really existed. Even a powerful cultivator like him, who was already the pinnacle of this world, still couldn't see the figure of the underworld.
Perhaps, only by ascending to the upper realm can we find some clues about the netherworld. The reincarnation theory is illusory.
In contrast, Xiao Lin believes more in the immortal road. Only by constantly climbing on this road can he avoid reincarnation. If he can achieve the body of a true immortal one day, he may be able to live forever.
But the body of a true immortal is a luxury even for Xiao Lin, and it is unknown whether a true immortal can really live as long as the heaven and earth.
I have been practicing for more than 1,200 years, even exceeding the national destiny of Yuxi Country. It is also a long time that many people cannot live through for more than ten generations. Ordinary mortals, busy all their lives, still return to the starting point in the end.
As time goes by, the Xiao family compound no longer exists and has become a place of love. After asking around, the two finally got some useful information from an old man next to them.
It turned out that the old man's ancestors and the Xiao family were neighbors, and they passed on some of the things that happened in the past by word of mouth.
More than a hundred years ago, Yuxi State launched a riot, and Wu State, which had been eyeing Yuxi State, also took the opportunity to launch a war and invaded Yuxi State.
At that time, the Xiao family was already the backbone of Yuxi State, and Xiao Lingshan, the head of the Xiao family, was the marshal of Yuxi State. Facing the invasion of Wu State, it was naturally his duty to lead the Xiao family army to fight against Wu State.
Unfortunately, Yuxi State's national fortune declined, corruption was rampant in the army, and its combat effectiveness declined seriously. In addition, the king was incompetent and treacherous ministers were everywhere in the court, making Yuxi State already corrupt.
After a great battle, Yuxi State was defeated, Marshal Xiao Lingshan was killed on the battlefield, and all the Xiao family soldiers who did not die in the battle were captured.
After that, the Wu army was unstoppable and broke through the capital of Yuxi State in one fell swoop, completely destroying Yuxi State.
After this, everyone thought that the Xiao family would be liquidated, but what is intriguing is that the Xiao family was not harassed at all. Even when the Wu army took over Fulong City, all the troops walked around the Xiao family mansion.
But after this, the Xiao family suddenly moved out of the Xiao family mansion one day and disappeared.
The old man Xiao Lin asked recalled that according to the words of his ancestors, the Xiao family might have moved to the Tianlu Mountains and lived in seclusion.
As for the reason, he didn't know.
After learning this, Xiao Lin went to the junction of Wu and Tianlu Mountains according to the old man's description and looked around.
After a search, he really found it.
In a small valley on the edge of Tianlu Mountains, there is a small village, like a paradise.
The people in this small village are all surnamed Xiao, and they live a life of men farming and women weaving. In addition to farming, most of the rest of the time, they go up the mountain to hunt.
What surprised Xiao Lin was that outside this valley, near the border of Wu State, there was a city called [Hulong City]. There was a team of cavalry guarding the city, with more than 10,000 people, and the city lord of Hulong City was actually a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan Realm.
City lord Wu Yixian was sitting cross-legged in the secret room practicing. He had been in Hulong City for fifty years. In another ten years, his mission would be completed and he could return to the mountain to concentrate on practicing.
Ten years, for him, was just a long period of seclusion.
His mission was taken from his family, and the purpose was to guard Qingyou Valley not far from the city. He also knew some of the origins of the people in Qingyou Valley, who seemed to be the descendants of a great man.
After Wu destroyed Yuxi, they were unwilling to submit to Wu and serve Wu. The king of Wu was furious and wanted to execute the Xiao family. But then the elder of the clan suddenly came and after a closed-door discussion, the attitude of the king of Wu suddenly changed.
Not only did he pardon the Xiao family for their disrespect, but he also respected their choice after a discussion with the Xiao family and lived in seclusion.
Now a hundred years have passed. After a hundred years of reproduction and development, the Xiao family in Qingyou Valley has become prosperous. Even the elder of the Wu family would send people to Qingyou Valley every three years to select the children of the Xiao family with spiritual roots and take them to the Tianlu Mountains to cultivate immortals.
You should know that the Wu family is now one of the best families in the Dancao Mountain in the southern region.
Even the Xiao family members don’t know why the Wu family is so good to them, and the Wu family never reveals the reason.
One day, a handsome man and a veiled woman walked outside the valley. They saw a group of children playing and fighting at the entrance of the valley, so they came to their side.
These children were four girls and three boys, ranging from four or five years old to thirteen or fourteen years old.
Xiao Lin suddenly stared at a boy of seven or eight years old, with a thoughtful expression on his face. It turned out that he saw his own shadow in this child.
The other boy of eight or nine years old actually looked a bit like Xiao Shi.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. Are you from outside the valley?" A little girl with a ponytail ran in front of the two people, looking at the veiled Lin Xueying, and said with a bit of childishness.
Lin Xueying's charming eyes suddenly curved into crescents, she squatted down and held the little girl's hand.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Yinyin, and his name is Xiao Xuan." At this time, the little boy whose background Xiao Lin saw also ran over, trying to pull the girl away, and looked at Xiao Lin and the others with a vigilant expression.
"Who are you? Why can you enter Qingyou Valley? Aren't you afraid that the immortals will come and kill you?" The little boy heard the girl's name and immediately pulled her behind him, then looked at the two of them and said fiercely.
"Oh? Haha, are you also from the Xiao family? The people from the Wu family you mentioned, I'm afraid they have already come?" Xiao Lin said without anger.
The little boy heard the words and immediately looked outside the valley, but he didn't see anyone coming after looking for a long time. Then he suddenly realized and hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the other children: "This person is an outsider, and his origin is unknown. Big Bear, go and call Uncle San and the others."
The oldest boy, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, heard the words and ran into the valley without any hesitation, calling Uncle San while running.
At this time, a sound of breaking air came from the void, and a red light fell from the sky. When the red light dissipated, two people were revealed.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, driving a flaming flying sword, circling around him.
Behind him was a woman in her thirties, with a pretty face and a flaming bead floating beside her.
The two were slightly stunned when they saw Xiao Lin and Lin Xueying. The middle-aged man in the lead said respectfully: "Who are you two, and why did you come to Qingyou Valley?"
The middle-aged man in the lead was surprised to find that there was no fluctuation of mana on Xiao Lin and the others, but for some reason, he felt extremely dangerous, which made him dare not neglect it. Before he found out the other party's purpose, he dared not offend the other party.
"Your surname is Wu?" Xiao Lin heard this, but there was no expression on his face, and he said lightly.
"I am Wu Yixian, the lord of Hulong City, and this is my junior sister, Wu Haiyao."
"Oh, it turns out that you are here to protect the Xiao family of Qingyou Valley." Xiao Lin nodded and his face calmed down a little.
The little boy was surprised. He was not surprised by Wu Yixian's words, but by Xiao Lin's words that someone would come soon. Not long after he finished speaking, someone really came, and they were two legendary immortals. He couldn't help but classify Xiao Lin and the others as immortals.
"Do you know Wu Xiuniang and Wu Tianyuan?" Xiao Lin said lightly.
Wu Yixian was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes showed an incredible expression. Even the woman next to him was shocked.
"Senior, do you know the two great elders of our Wu family?"
"It seems so. So, the reason why you are here to guard Qingyou Valley in Hulong City is also the decree of your two great elders."
"Senior, you have a keen eye. It is the family that sent us here to guard."
"Okay, since you are from the Wu family, then you can go. Go back and tell Wu Xiu Niang and Wu Tianyuan that Xiao Lin is very grateful for their care for the Xiao family. I hope they can continue to protect the Xiao family as always."
"Xiao Lin? The leader of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, Senior Xiao Xiao?" After Xiao Lin reported his name, the two were really shocked. What kind of person is Xiao Lin? His deeds have already spread throughout the ancient wilderness continent.
Not to mention them, even those low-level cultivators know the name of this ancestor Xiao, who destroyed the Jitian Saint Realm, defeated the leader of the Jiuying Blood Refining Saint Sect, and killed the leader of the Beiming Youdu Tianzong.
After becoming a god, he defeated the Thunder Peng Clan, intimidated the Dragon and Phoenix Clan, made friends with the Nine-Tailed Clan, and made the human and demon races divide the Ten Thousand Demons Sea equally, gaining countless resources for the human race.
After that, he even killed Xu Huanniang and saved the world from catastrophe.
Xiao Lin's deeds have long been spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
Wu Yixian had never thought that the Xiao clan members in Qingyou Valley were actually descendants of this Xiao ancestor. He had never dared to think about it before. Now that he knew the truth, he immediately admired the actions of the two ancestors of his family.
Such people, as long as they have no problems in their brains, they will deliberately flatter them.
Hearing Xiao Lin's order to expel the guests, the two immediately bowed and bowed respectfully, then turned around without saying a word and drove the spiritual light away, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Ah~~~ You. You." The little boy was stunned after seeing the two immortals who protected their people escape, and then stared at Xiao Lin. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if something sounded?
"What about me? Is there something on my face?" Xiao Lin looked at the little boy and replied with a smile.
"Why do you look exactly like our Xiao family's ancestor?" After a long time, the little boy stammered.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Is it possible that I am your ancestor?"
The little boy was very smart, but he was also shocked by Xiao Lin's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Are you really the Xiao ancestor? But our ancestor has left the tribe for more than a thousand years. Could it be that you have lived for more than a thousand years?" The little boy suddenly thought of the loophole in Xiao Lin's words, and suddenly he became more confident and said loudly.
At this time, the sound of bustle came from the valley. A strong man in his thirties, with seven or eight people, holding various farming tools in his hands, walked towards the valley entrance.
When he arrived at the valley entrance, he saw that the children were fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Xiao Lin and the others.
After seeing Xiao Lin's appearance, the strong man couldn't help but be stunned.
"Uncle San, this person said his name is Xiao Lin, and he is our Xiao family's ancestor." The boy said loudly.
"Are you really our Xiao family's ancestor? Our Xiao family's ancestor has been gone for more than a thousand years. Have you lived for more than a thousand years?" The strong man looked at Xiao Lin, his eyes full of shock and asked doubtfully.
"If your ancestor is called Xiao Lin, and his brother is named Xiao Shi, his sister is Xiao Zhi, and his father is named Xiao Shan, then it should be me." Xiao Lin said with a smile on his face.
But after hearing his words, the strong man and the few people behind him no longer had any doubts, and they all knelt down "thump thump~~" under the surprised eyes of the children.
"Greetings, ancestor."
