"ah?"

"You...it turns out you are the grandson of Venerable Pingyou?"

As soon as I finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded on the spot, and looked at me with sincere awe. Then the old patriarch nodded with a look of enlightenment: "That's no wonder!"

"Let me tell you, in fact, we should have thought of it a long time ago. Apart from 'Venerable Pingyou', who else in the world can cultivate such an outstanding grandson!"

"Well--"

The words of the old patriarch left me speechless. Should the grandson of Lao Wang next door be naturally powerful?

"Right!"

Shaking my head, I didn't bother to explain anything to them, so I went straight to the point: "If I guess correctly, you should be from Longhu Mountain, right? Why are you here?"

"Alas! It's hard to describe in words..."

He let out a long sigh, and the old patriarch had obviously guessed that I would ask this question, and had no intention of hiding it, so he truthfully told me the whole story.

As expected, they are indeed people from Longhu Mountain. I have never doubted this.

Because both the leader's token with the word "dragon and tiger" engraved on it and Zhang Kaiyang's bloodline have already told me everything, and this is just a further confirmation.

And the reason why they appeared in Jiuyou Purgatory was actually because of a rebellion in Longhu Mountain fifty years ago. To be precise, it should be the "Tianshi Mansion" on the treasure island.

According to the old patriarch, their lineage is actually the "real root" of Longhu Mountain, and the bloodline passed down by Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling flows in their body, otherwise the leader's token of Longhu Mountain would not always be preserved.

In his hands.

The story begins sixty years ago. When the Jiang family dynasty suddenly collapsed and fled to Treasure Island, it not only took many business and political dignitaries with them, but also brought a large number of Taoist elites to Treasure Island.

As the leader of the Taoist sect at that time, Longhushan was the focus of their attention!

At that time, the people of the Jiang family's "national government" suppressed the territory, and Longhu Mountain immediately split into two factions. One faction insisted on staying in the Taoist ancestral home, and the other wanted to follow the Jiang family to the treasure island.

The branch to which the old patriarch belonged originally belonged to the former group. They were devoted to the Tao and did not want to participate in secular disputes over royal power.

However, a large number of relatives from Longhu Mountain had already been taken to Treasure Island by the Jiang family in advance, so they finally chose to compromise and also went to Treasure Island and established the "Tianshi Mansion" at that time.

The old patriarch at that time was actually just a minor child, and his father was the contemporary "Zhang Tianshi". They originally thought that as long as they compromised and went to the treasure island, everything would slowly get better.

What to do.

Unexpectedly, the group of people who went to Baodao also rebelled not long after they established the "Tianshi Mansion". At that time, the Jiang family was still daydreaming about a "counterattack", but unexpectedly

Ask them to sneak back to the mainland to carry out secret assassinations.

Naturally, the old patriarch and others were unwilling, so they clashed with the people from the "Guofu", and the two sides fought fiercely, and finally met with swords.

Although there were numerous talents in the "Tianshi Mansion" at that time, the people were not unified, and they were eventually defeated by the people of the "Guo Mansion". After that "big purge", the direct lineage of Longhu Mountain suffered a lot of casualties. I don't know how many masters there were.

He died tragically at the hands of the "national government".

Among them, those who suffered particularly heavy losses were the lineage of the old patriarch. Since they were the "right roots" of Longhu Mountain, in order to completely control the "Tianshi Mansion", the "National Government" at that time even issued a "

The killing order of "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots".

Even if some of them fled directly overseas, they still could not escape their pursuit in the end.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the "Zhang Tianshi" at that time, the father of the old patriarch, could only hand over his head token to the old patriarch and asked him to quickly go to the Taoist sects in the mainland for help.

Unfortunately, when the old patriarch secretly fled back to the mainland, he happened to catch up with the ten years of turmoil in the mainland. As soon as he landed, he was captured on the spot by the Religious Bureau, which had also just been established, and was prepared to be taken back to the imperial capital for trial.

Just when he looked desperate, he met two of the most popular senior fellow apprentices in the Maoshan Sect at that time, one of whom was my grandfather and the other was Xia Wuren.

At that time, Xia Wuren had not fallen out with my grandfather. With the help of his two brothers, the old patriarch escaped. Just as he was about to follow my grandfather and Xia Wuren to the Maoshan Sect for help, he unexpectedly encountered him again.

People of the "national government".

After being chased all the way, they finally escaped to the vicinity of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. Finally, with the help of Tianchi Palace, they finally escaped the pursuit.

At this time, the old patriarch had already learned the news of his father's death from Tianchi Palace. He was disheartened and decided to retire from the world and stayed in Tianchi Palace.

Later, my grandfather and Xia Wuren rescued some people one after another, and they were also sent to Tianchi Palace. Until the "Dark Rebellion" suddenly broke out more than 20 years ago, Tianchi Palace ended up in jail in order to suppress Purgatory. The old patriarch and his party

I was also trapped here and eventually developed into the current tribe...

"Oh my God!"

After listening to the old patriarch's narration, I was shocked. I never expected that there was such a tortuous story.

But they actually had a chance to leave here, because according to him, my grandfather came here more than once.

Even not long ago, the old master of Lingfeng and Tianchi Palace and others also found them, but the old patriarch refused to leave. Because he and my grandfather had made an agreement long ago to build this place into a counterattack in the future.

A springboard for "Nine Nether Purgatory"!

Unless the "Nine Nether Purgatory" is completely pacified, they will never leave this place.

But just because they don't want to leave doesn't mean that I don't want to leave either!

At this time, I am eager to return home, and I don’t want to stay in this ghost place for a long time! I have disappeared for so long, and I don’t know what happened to Xia Xiaoyi and the others outside, and whether they have left the "Penglai" fairy island safe and sound.

And if they have already left and haven't seen me for so long, they must be extremely anxious.

Since Lingfeng, the old palace master and others could leave this place, there must be a way back to this place, so I couldn't wait to ask the old clan leader how to leave this place.

The old patriarch said frankly that there is indeed a way to return to the world here, but this road is full of dangers!

So he can't tell me yet, lest I take risks, but lets me stay here for a while. When I can completely ignore the rules and regulations here, he will naturally tell me the way back.

Although I was extremely anxious about this, I had no objection.

Speaking of which, my grandfather was kind to him, and I had just saved them, so he probably wouldn't harm me. Since he insists on refusing to tell me now, it means that the road back may be really dangerous.

extremely.

In this case, I might as well stay here for a while. It just so happens that I am also very interested in the "law of heaven" rules here.

Sooner or later, we will definitely have a battle with the "Nine Nether Purgatory", and this day is getting closer and closer! Now that we have finally arrived here, we should take this opportunity to sharpen ourselves and adapt to the rules and power of this place in advance.

It will obviously be of great benefit to me in the future.

So, in the next few days, I started practicing crazily, but the results were very little.

I always feel that there is a force suppressing me. This situation is especially obvious when I stop running the "Tai Chi Dao Diagram"!

Once the "Tai Chi Dao Diagram" stopped running, my cultivation almost plummeted, and at one point I even fell directly below the "Refining God and Transforming Void" state.

No wonder Zhang Kaiyang and others didn't believe that I came from across the world. Indeed, without the protection of the "Tai Chi Dao Diagram", my current cultivation level is indeed no better than him.

In this way, Zhang Kaiyang can be regarded as a talent. If he had not been suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth here, he would have broken through the realm of "Refining Gods and Transforming Void" long ago!

Zongri's hard training had little effect, and I had to change my strategy, because I didn't have much time to waste here. Three days later, I found the old clan leader again and planned to bid farewell to him and leave the tribe.

Wander around the nearby primeval forest.

The reason why I want to go to the primeval forest is naturally not to go sightseeing, but because there are countless powerful beasts hidden in that place. In many places, even the old patriarch and others have not really set foot in it.

So I plan to go there to hone myself and see if I can further improve myself in a life-and-death fight with alien beasts.

At first, the old patriarch actually refused, but in the end he couldn't resist me and reluctantly nodded. However, he also had a request, that is, he must take Zhang Kaiyang with him. He said that Zhang Kaiyang had been hunting with them on the outskirts of the virgin forest since he was a child.

Very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

And I didn't understand what the old patriarch meant. He clearly wanted Zhang Kaiyang to have some experience with me. It just so happened that I really lacked someone to lead the way for me, so I didn't expose him, so I readily agreed.

To be honest, I am quite optimistic about Zhang Kaiyang. Compared with some of his peers in the world, his mind is actually quite mature.

This point, from the time he plotted against me, risked taking away the Fire Spirit Grass, and even finally captured me back to the tribe, all showed his extraordinary mind.

"Very good!"

Soon, the old patriarch ordered someone to call Zhang Kaiyang. When he heard that I planned to enter the virgin forest for training and take him with me, Zhang Kaiyang couldn't help but look happy, nodded quickly, and went down to prepare.

Early the next morning, Zhang Kaiyang and I left the tribe. Along the way, this guy was like a chatterbox, constantly asking me about things in the "big world" outside.
