As soon as Bai Lingran said these words, Ling Yun was stunned. For a moment, she thought she had heard wrong.
But this is obviously impossible. She did not hear wrongly. Could it be that the record is wrong?
After all, in her opinion, the leader of the human race should be the Taoist family. Where does the Bai family come from? And she has never heard of any strength other than the Taoist family.
It can be seen how much influence Bai Lingran said suddenly on Ling Yun.
On the other hand, Mu Mengzi and Xiang Liu looked unusually calm, as if they knew something inside.
Ling Yun looked back and forth between the three of them, as if he was confirming whether this was really the case.
After Bai Lingran finished speaking, she paid special attention to the expressions of Xiang Liu and "Xu Yuyu". Seeing that they were doing things calmly, an imperceptible color flashed in her eyes.
At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at the stunned Ling Yun and continued: "I read in the records of the clan that in ancient times, when the human race first emerged, the demon clan was eyeing them with eager eyes, but there were foreign enemies that made them afraid to take any action."
Bai Lingran added an explanation: "As for who the foreign enemy is, there is no specific record, just a few sentences."
She continued what she had just said: "Afterwards, the foreign enemies were pacified, the demon clan retreated from the world, and the Bai family rose. The first ancestor of our clan, Bai Yetong, came to the immortal throne for the first time..."
Xiang Liu listened carefully, and when he heard this sentence, he subconsciously interrupted: "She failed!"
Seeing that Xiang Liu knew something, Bai Lingran asked, "Does Senior know something?"
Xiang Liu gently stroked the cover of the ancient book with his fingertips: "Although my cultivation level was not high at that time, I could barely protect myself. It can be said that Bai Yetong's ascension to immortality was quite a big deal, and I do know some news."
Bai Lingran was shocked. In fact, the records of the Bai family were not comprehensive, because there were only a few records of the ancestor's ascension to immortality. If no one witnessed it, there would be no records.
Bai Lingran asked quickly: "Senior, please let me know."
Xiang Liu nodded, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "It is unheard of for a human race to ascend to immortality in this world, and even the demon clans find it unreasonable."
"But when the heavenly catastrophe came, the entire demon clan was shocked that the humans in this world ascended, but..."
As he spoke, Xiang Liu paused and said with a bit of regret, "She failed!"
"I heard that she chose to give up under the last heavenly tribulation, and was later wiped out by the heavenly tribulation."
Mu Mengzi and Ling Yun were both stunned. It can be said that ascending to immortality was something that almost all practitioners and demons in the world expected.
This ancestor of the Bai family actually gave up!?
As for Bai Lingran, who seemed to have thought of it, she remained silent.
Xiang Liu said: "As for why he gave up, there are two rumors among the demon clan."
"One: I just don't have enough strength and I know I can't face the final disaster."
"Two: She just didn't want to survive the final disaster, so she gave up."
Ling Yun also temporarily accepted the Bai family's statement, and at the same time said with certainty: "Why don't you want to survive the last disaster? I think it's because you are not strong enough!"
Mu Mengzi quickly glared at her, after all, she would talk about other people's ancestors in front of others.
Ling Yun also reacted, and quickly covered his mouth and apologized to Bai Lingran: "I didn't mean that, and I didn't mean to look down on your ancestor..."
Bai Lingran waved his hand carelessly.
And Xiang Liu said thoughtfully: "The last calamity of ascending to immortality is to kill love!"
"Humans can have seven emotions and six desires, but immortals cannot. If immortals had seven emotions and six desires, they would do whatever they want. If this were the case, the heaven would have been in chaos."
Ling Yun quickly made up for the inconsistency in what he just said: "Senior Da Yao means that the ancestor of the Bai family did not want to become an emotionless immortal, so he gave up the last disaster?"
Xiang Liu raised his eyebrows and nodded: "This is just a guess. As for why Bai Yetong did not become an immortal in the first place, there is no way of knowing."
Ling Yun nodded thoughtfully. If she was asked to give up her feelings and become an immortal, she still had to think carefully about it.
She doesn't want to be an emotionless immortal, but becoming an immortal is the end of cultivation, and who doesn't want to reach the end?
Suddenly Ling Yun seemed to have thought of something: "By the way, I remember you said: You almost became an immortal once, but now you have..."
Ling Yun still remembers that when she fought with Bai Lingran, he asked her if she was a descendant of the immortal. At that time, Bai Lingran said this, which meant that she almost had it, but now she has it.
This may have been referring to the ancestor of the Bai family in ancient times, but now it is...
Bai Lingran didn't mean to hide anything: "Indeed, the last head of our Bai family, Li Moran, became an immortal more than 20 years ago!"
Ling Yun and Mu Mengzi were both stunned, not long after this time passed.
More than twenty years ago...
What happened around the time when Mu Mengzi and Bai Lingran were born.
Ling Yun blinked her eyes. She had never seen an immortal before. If she could get his guidance once she saw him again, her life would be worth it.
But ascending to immortality is all about emotions. Will he be killed out of nowhere in the past?
"I wonder where the immortals from your Bai family are? I... No! We Taoists will find an opportunity to pay a visit!" Ling Yun felt that his weight was definitely not enough, but if he brought the Taoists along, the weight would be almost the same.
Bai Lingran shook his head: "The previous head of the family has become an immortal queen. Even our Bai family doesn't know her whereabouts. If we want to see her... it may be difficult."
Mu Mengzi, who had not spoken until now, noticed a question: "Why did your Bai family let a foreigner be the head of the family?"
It was okay that Mu Mengzi didn't mention it, but Ling Yun also noticed this topic.
That’s right! It’s obviously the Bai family, why do you want someone named Li to be the head?
Bai Lingran shook his head: "I don't know either. This decision was made by the elders of the clan. I don't know the specific reason."
Xiang Liu followed up with a guess: "It is absolutely impossible for someone with a foreign surname to head the family, according to the custom of the Bai family that has been passed down for so long."
"This can only show that although she has a foreign surname, she is from your Bai family!"
Xiang Liu continued to speculate: "Bai Yetong failed to ascend to immortality, but her spirituality should have been reincarnated with her. People with such spirituality are either rich or noble, or princes and generals. After several lives, it is not impossible for her to return to the top.
…”
Mu Mengzi's eyes widened when Senior Xiang Liu made such a point: "Senior Xiang Liu means - this Li Moran is Bai Yetong, the ancestor of the Bai family!?"
Bai Lingran wasn't too surprised. She looked at Xiang Liu and didn't know what she was thinking.
In fact, she had a guess as to why a foreigner was appointed as the head of the Bai family.
But I never thought that this big demon who had nothing to do with the Bai family would soon reveal the secret. Could it be that there really was an immortal behind the other party?
But the one who was really shocked was Ling Yun. She felt that her world view was shattered.
I never thought that reincarnation really existed...
That's right, they can all become immortals, and the existence of reincarnation is also reasonable.
From what they said in their tone, this fairyland also exists.
Now that there is heaven, wouldn’t it mean that the underworld is...
Ling Yun felt that he needed time to digest the news he got today.
Mu Mengzi was not surprised. She vaguely understood the theory of reincarnation when she was in Xuyuan Pavilion.
As for immortals, heaven or the underworld, it has nothing to do with her. She has never thought about becoming an immortal, so she won't care about it.
Her eyes fell on the ancient book in the hands of Senior Xiangliu. The original topic was to investigate the ancient book, but the topic unconsciously wandered away.
Xiang Liu noticed Mu Mengzi's gaze. She coughed dryly and brought back the topic: "The book also mentioned something about the foreign enemy, but I don't understand it."
Ling Yun was still digesting, while Bai Lingran was curious and quickly looked at Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu opened his mouth and said: "He is bloodthirsty and loves to kill. He looks like a demon but is not a demon. He uses Yin as a guide and seals him in Yin."
The first two sentences of this sentence are easy to understand. They say that the alien enemy likes to kill. She is like a demon, but she is not a demon.
The last sentence - use Yin as a guide and seal it in Yin. None of you understand what this means.
After everyone thought for a while but to no avail, they stopped making too many guesses about this sentence.
Now there is no need for the Mu family to stay any longer. The top priority is to go to Qingqiu.
After all, we still don’t know if Feiyao and Yan Xiao have arrived at Qingqiu, so Mu Mengzi can’t waste time.
"Let's put an end to the investigation of Mu Mengzi." Mu Mengzi said.
Ling Yun and Bai Lingran both looked expectant.
Unexpectedly, the trip to the Mu family ends here, so the next stop must be to find Mengzi!
"Let's go to Qingqiu!" Mu Mengzi did not hide the location.
Ling Yun was stunned, does this mean that Mengzi is in Qingqiu!?
This was not the first time Bai Lingran had heard of Qingqiu, but she didn't know where Qingqiu was.
Mu Mengzi said to Ling Yun: "You go back to Taoism to contact Qingqiu first. I will also go back to the mountains to explain the investigation results to my master."
Ling Yun and Bai Lingran did not doubt this 'Xu Yuyu'.
However, there was an obscure look in Xiang Liu's eyes that was hard to detect.
Originally, the identity of Immortal Disciple was made up, but this time in the mountains...
Mengzi must have wanted to get rid of them, but Xiang Liu also saw through it without telling them.
Ling Yun said anxiously: "Then Immortal, how long before we leave for Qingqiu?"
Mu Mengzi replied without hesitation: "It will take at least two days for me to go back to the mountains, and this round trip will take four days. The master will probably ask me about my harvest from this time, and I may be delayed for another day."
Calculated this way, it will take five days.
"I will come to the Taoist house to find you in five days!" Mu Mengzi said, raising his eyebrows.
Ling Yun didn't think about it carefully and nodded: "See you in the Taoist family in five days!"
Bai Lingran didn't say anything, but looked at 'Xu Yuyu'.
Mu Mengzi didn't dare to say how long it took. If he did, it might arouse Bai Lingran's suspicion.
Five days is neither long nor short. She just hopes that everything can settle down in these five days.
After Mu Mengzi and Ling Yun separated.
Xiang Liu and Mu Mengzi left Kyoto.
On the road.
Xiang Liu glanced at Mu Mengzi and said, "You deliberately drove them away?"
Mu Mengzi did not hide her intentions: "This trip is destined to be bumpy, I'm afraid they will be in danger."
Xiang Liu looked at Mu Mengzi, who was holding Xu Yuyu's body, and couldn't help but smile: "You look cold and indifferent, but you care about the people around you!"
Mu Mengzi didn't dare to look directly at Xiang Liu, and didn't know what excuse to make: "I, I'm just afraid that they will cause trouble for me!"
Xiang Liu laughed heartily.
"By the way, does Senior Xiangliu know where Qingqiu is?" Mu Mengzi saw that he had left Kyoto, so he asked him the direction of Qingqiu.
Xiang Liu blinked his eyes, with an innocent look on his face: "I have been banned from the "Mountain and Sea Monster Record" for so long, I have no idea when Qingqiu was founded, let alone where Qingqiu is, and..."
Mu Mengzi was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that Senior Xiang Liu knew...
"Yo!"
Xiang Liu was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Mu Mengzi and Xiang Liu both looked at the source of the sound.
I saw a cat walking through the void, looking down at Mu Mengzi and Xiang Liu calmly.
