Chapter 870 Jizhou, the White Tiger Tribe

After returning to Jingzhou, Huan Yin stayed in the Huan family mansion for a total of three days.

During these three days, Huan Yin did not see anyone, nor did he say a word to anyone. He just locked himself in the Huan family ancestral hall, kneeling alone in front of his father's spirit tablet, silent.

For three days, Huan Yin did not even move. He just knelt there, and as time went by, he became like a sculpture. Only the occasional flicker of the bright lamp in the ancestral hall could make his shadow change with the light.

Perhaps countless thoughts have passed through his mind, or perhaps he has actually said a lot of things to his father silently. When he was about to leave, the one Huan Yin was most reluctant to part with was still the father who gave birth to him and raised him. No matter where Huan Yin went, he would never forget that if he had not had his father's protection, he would have died in the Huan family. How could he have stepped into the path of Taoism, and how could he have the opportunity to reach this point today?

The most difficult fate is the relationship between father and son. The most difficult love is the kindness of a loving father. However, this fate had to be ended, and this love had to be abandoned. Because Huanyin's path was not in the human world, but in the heavenly world. He would leave after all, and he would never be able to come back to kneel down again.

Three days later, Huanyin finally moved for the first time. His eyes were full of reluctance, and he kowtowed heavily to the spirit tablet of Duke Huan.

"Dong, dong, dong!" Three loud sounds, with a sense of farewell, echoed in the ancestral hall.

Then, Huanyin said in a hoarse voice: "Father, I am really going to leave this time. Maybe... maybe I will never have the chance to come back to see you again. Father, I hope you will be well in reincarnation..."

After speaking, Huanyin finally stood up, then he turned around and pushed open the door of the Huan family ancestral hall.

The light shone in from outside, making Huanyin, who was used to the darkness, squint unconsciously. Then, he gradually adapted to the light, and finally saw the scene outside the ancestral hall at this moment.

The small courtyard outside the ancestral hall was now full of people kneeling. Some of these people, Huanyin recognized, and some he had never seen. However, Huan Yin knew that they were all descendants of the Huan family, relatives who were separated from him by several generations but still had blood ties.

Huan Yin's eyes finally fell on the person kneeling in the front, and when Huan Lin saw Huan Yin looking over, he said: "These children are all descendants of my Huan family, your descendants. Today, I bring them to see you and send you off."

Huan Lin did not say anything to keep him, because he knew that Huan Yin wanted to leave and he could not keep him. He also knew that Huan Yin had his own things to do, and he could not tie Huan Yin down with family affection.

Nodding silently, Huan Yin's eyes began with Huan Lin, and swept across the faces of all the kneeling people one by one. Some of these people were already old, and some were still children of five or six years old. There was awe, strangeness, but also admiration in their eyes.

Finally, Huan Yin retracted his gaze and said to Huan Lin: "Lin'er, this Huan family will be handed over to you in the future." After saying that, Huan Yin no longer lingered, stepped up with his right foot, and the whole person disappeared.

All the descendants of the Huan family looked up at the sky, then knocked heavily and said loudly: "Farewell, ancestor!"

...

Among the nine states, Jizhou is located in the northeast corner. Although this state is vast, due to the lack of resources and poor soil, it is not easy for mortals to live here, and even the Taoist tradition is difficult to continue here.

There has never been any formal Taoist sect in the cultivation group in Jizhou. There are only some wandering and homeless tribes who rely on blood and emotions to gather together. While they practice, they also resist the harsh conditions.

There have been countless cultivation tribes in Jizhou for tens of thousands of years. However, these tribes have never been large and can't become a climate at all. The stronger ones, perhaps a tribe of thousands of people, can dominate Jizhou. Some of the weaker tribes even have only dozens of people.

The cultivation tribes are naturally far from being comparable to regular sects. There are too many unstable factors within such tribes. In addition to the impurity of their Taoism and the weak foundation of Taoism, they are at risk of collapse and disintegration at any time, and it is impossible to inherit and continue like regular sects.

In addition to internal instability, due to the large number of tribes in Jizhou, they are too diverse and lack resources, so fighting each other has become commonplace. As a result, the external living conditions are also quite unstable for these tribes. Therefore, it is impossible for the tribes themselves to be stable.

In the history of Jizhou, it seems that there has not been an example of a tribe that can last for more than a thousand years. You know, this is an extremely incredible thing. Because cultivators cultivate Taoism to seek longevity, some cultivators have a lifespan of more than a thousand years, but in such a large state, there is no tribe that has lived for more than a thousand years. How miserable is it?

However, this phenomenon in Jizhou was changed by a tribe a few hundred years ago. This tribe is called the White Tiger Tribe.

At first, the White Tiger Tribe was no different from ordinary tribes, although everyone hoped to live a peaceful life. However, they were in the snowy land in the extreme north of Jizhou, and their living conditions were worse than other places in Jizhou, so they could not live in peace at all.

In the history of this tribe, there have been fights, even wars, and several dangers of extermination. But in the end, for some unknown reason, this tribe finally survived the dangers again and again.

Then, they began to develop hard, constantly accumulating strength and becoming stronger. In this way, about three hundred years ago, they were already a fairly powerful and wealthy tribe, and gradually gained a foothold on the snowfield in the extreme north of Jizhou.

Taking root in Jizhou is a very difficult thing. And taking root in the extreme north of Jizhou is even more incredible.

The gradual strength and wealth of the White Tiger tribe proved their strength and also protected them from many external interferences.

However, strength is always relative. In the land of Jizhou, the richer the tribe, the more jealous and greedy it will be, unless you are so powerful that outsiders dare not even covet it.

The White Tiger tribe at that time was naturally far from reaching that level. Therefore, several tribes finally appeared, and they united to eradicate the White Tiger tribe and divide up its resources.

Such a plot may be the law of survival in Jizhou, and it is also a scene that has been staged countless times in history.

For the alliance of several tribes, the White Tiger tribe, which has accumulated some strength, can still fight against one or two in the initial stage to keep the land, people and resources. However, later, several powerful tribes joined the division team, so the strength of the White Tiger tribe's opponents skyrocketed, and they could no longer hold on.

Once the first defeat occurred, the whole battle situation was like a mountain collapse, and soon the White Tiger tribe was overwhelmed. After experiencing several disasters, the White Tiger tribe never thought that they would not be able to continue in the end, and would eventually end up being exterminated.

However, at the most critical moment, when the White Tiger tribe gave up, the White Tiger God of the White Tiger tribe seemed to appear.

That day, all the monks who participated in the battle, as long as they survived, will never forget the suffocating scene.

On the mountain where the White Tiger Temple is located, there was suddenly an endless light, followed by a tiger roar that pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks, which made all the monks on the battlefield scalp numb.

Then, everyone saw a snow-white tiger rushing down from the holy mountain. This white tiger's cultivation was so great that it had surpassed the understanding of all the monks present. Even the strongest elders of those powerful tribes could not survive half a move in front of this white tiger.

The white tiger rushed directly into the battle formation and helped the White Tiger tribe to fight the enemy without hesitation. And under its absolute strength, even though the number of opponents of the White Tiger tribe was dozens of times that of the White Tiger tribe, it was completely defeated, and even had the momentum of crushing withering and rotten.

Many people said that on that day, the White Tiger God of the White Tiger tribe showed his divine power to protect his people. However, there were also monks who were lucky enough to survive the battlefield and heard the people of the White Tiger tribe call the white tiger "Bai Kui".

But no matter what, from then on, everyone knew that there was a White Tiger God with great cultivation in the White Tiger tribe. With the existence of this White Tiger God, the White Tiger tribe has since had the kind of transcendent strength that no one can even covet.

So, for a full three hundred years, the White Tiger tribe continued to survive and developed to a far more prosperous level than before.

And some people say that the current White Tiger tribe may become the first tribe in Jizhou to survive for more than a thousand years.
