"More than four hundred years ago, during the Xia Dynasty, there was a martial arts genius named Lan Tian. He was born in a royal family, but he devoted himself to pursuing martial arts. He started practicing martial arts at the age of five. He rose to prominence at the age of eleven and was promoted to the pinnacle of master strength. He was known as the
A martial arts genius who was rare to see in a hundred years at that time was later accepted as a disciple by the Holy Master Emperor Taoist Emperor.
"Taoist Huangji was the number one master in the mainland at that time, and his martial arts cultivation had reached the peak of the divine realm. Under his guidance, Lan Tian made rapid progress. He reached the peak of Grandmaster at the age of fifteen and was promoted to Martial Saint at the age of nineteen. After that, he
It took thirteen years to advance to the martial arts divine realm at the age of thirty-two. At the age of forty-eight, he had reached the peak of the divine realm. In the next hundred years, Lan Tian did not break through the divine realm and step into the legendary emperor-level realm.
, however, he successfully transformed the 'Huangji Heart Method' taught by his teacher, Taoist Huangji, and created a more powerful 'Huangji Shield'.
"The Emperor's Shield has three major advantages. First, the progress in the early and mid-term is extremely rapid, because it is easier to master. If there are no major obstacles, it will be a sure thing to advance to the Grand Master level;
"Secondly, although it is more difficult to practice in the later stage than other techniques, the chance of breaking through to the divine realm is much greater than other techniques; thirdly, Huangji Shield is no longer different from Huangji Mental Technique.
It is a single skill, but a kind of defensive and offensive Qi that continuously improves with the improvement of strength. After reaching the Grand Master, the Emperor's Shield defense is launched, and ordinary swords and guns are difficult to harm the body - of course, excluding
Modern firearms.
"After Lan Tian fell, the Emperor's Shield Cultivation Technique was passed down by his descendants, Shi Qiu. The Lan clan also relied on this secret technique to be famous for hundreds of years. However, due to some reasons, over a hundred years later,
Years ago, people from the Lan clan have rarely been heard of. If my guess is right, Yu Feng, you should be a descendant of the Lan clan, right?" Qin Xiang slowly told the story of Huangji Shield.
Bring it.
"Well, now that you know it, I don't want to hide it from you. Yes, I am indeed a descendant of the Lan clan." Lan Yufeng said with a bitter smile, but then a touch of depression appeared on his face, and he said lonelyly
: "It's just an abandoned descendant of the Lan family."
"I'm sorry, Yu Feng, I touched your sore spot. I didn't mean to." Qin Xiang said sheepishly.
Lan Yufeng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it hurts or not. It has been more than ten or twenty years, and I have long been used to it."
"Oh? What's going on? If it's convenient, would I like to hear your story?" Qin Xiang saw that although he said "habit", his eyes were painful and lonely.
"Brother, since you want to hear it, please tell me briefly." Lan Yufeng glanced at Qin Xiang and nodded.
Regardless of whether Qin Xiang really just wants to listen, Lan Yufeng knows that in order for someone to truly believe you, in addition to the first impression and normal interactions, there is also a very important point, that is, heart-to-heart communication. Since there is a heart-to-heart relationship
, you must at least know your past, what you care about, and what you pursue. Qin Xiang doesn’t know him well, but the subsequent cooperation will involve his extremely important interests, and he wants to know more about him.
That's quite normal.
Of course, this is just Lan Yufeng's inner thought. In fact, Qin Xiang has no such thoughts at all. His trust in Lan Yufeng was already determined when he saved him with the power of consciousness for the first time.
Come on, Lan Yufeng is overthinking it.
However, this is not his fault. After all, Qin Xiang is a mysterious and powerful existence in his mind, and after Ye Xiao Tang Dong's rebellion, he has a kind of hesitation about the human heart. He will not easily
If you believe in others, you will naturally assume that others will not believe in you easily.
And this is also a necessary stage in the process of a person's psychological maturity.
Lan Yufeng collected his thoughts and then said slowly: "Brother, you have already told the ins and outs of the Emperor's Shield just now, so I won't say any more. What you said is right, my Lan clan was a royal clan during the Xia Dynasty.
Later, even if the Xia Dynasty declined and changed dynasties and generations, because of the Emperor's Shield, our Lan family has always been a strong presence among the nobles. Our ancestors followed Taizu Lan Tiangong's instructions and in the Xia Dynasty
After his death, he retired to the countryside and no longer participated in the struggle for imperial power. In addition, there were many strong men in the clan. For more than two hundred years, no one dared to take a chance on our Lan clan.
"More than a hundred years ago, the head of the Lan clan at that time could not resist the temptation and secretly joined the Manchu Qing court. In order to be a high-ranking official and get a good salary, he unscrupulously secretly passed down the family's secret book 'Huang Ji' without telling his clan members.
Shield' was originally dedicated to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even though the incident came to light later, the people in the clan had no choice but to treat him.
"However, although this clan leader achieved a very high official position, he accidentally offended someone and brought disaster to the nine clans. He was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court. The masters of the clan fought hard to resist, but in the end the situation was over. The whole clan was over 1,300
Of the people, only fourteen of them escaped with copies of the Emperor's Shield, and the Lan family's bloodline was preserved.
"After these fourteen Lan clan members escaped, they hid in the mountains and practiced hard, thinking that one day they would kill the enemy who wiped out the clan, but later they learned that the enemy had been executed for offending the emperor. These ancestors of the Lan clan had no choice but to hide in hiding.
Take care of worldly affairs.
"After decades of development, the Lan clan has grown to more than a hundred people, although it is not as glorious as before. In addition to the Emperor's Shield, as long as it continues to develop steadily, it is not possible for the Lan clan to regain the glory it had more than a hundred years ago.
impossible.
"However, something happened fifty years ago. The Royal Shield guarded by the elders of the clan was stolen, and the person who stole it was the elder's good brother. Later, all the elites of the clan were hunted down.
Although the person who stole the secret code was eventually chased back, most of the "Emperor's Shield Book" was torn away, and the fourth to seventh levels of formulas behind it fell into the fire and burned during the fight.
"Over the past hundred years, very few of the elders in the clan have good qualifications. At that time, there was only one person who could cultivate the Royal Shield to the fourth level, that is, the clan leader at that time. He later wrote down the formulas for the first four levels. But
The cultivation of Huangji Shield involves understanding one level at a time. If you have not broken through the previous level, you are not allowed to comprehend or even read the formulas for the next level. It is said that it is easy to become obsessed.
"That is to say, the burning of the five, six, and seven levels of formulas at the end of the "Huangji Shield Book" means that from now on, the Huangji Shield that the Lan family has relied on for hundreds of years will no matter how talented the children in the clan are.
, it can only stop at the fourth level, and it will be difficult to break through.
"The elder who guarded the "Emperor's Shield Book" committed suicide out of guilt after the last four floors of the secret book were burned."
When Lan Yufeng said this, his eyes were misty and his voice was low and hoarse.
"This elder who committed suicide should be very close to you, right?" Qin Xiang asked softly.
"He is my grandfather." Lan Yufeng said with a frown.
"This should be the reason why you were abandoned by your family, right?" Qin Xiang could imagine how many people would be angry once the support of a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years was destroyed.
"That's right." Lan Yufeng said: "When my grandfather committed suicide, my father was only sixteen years old. He was one of the most qualified young people in the clan at that time. But since then, although my grandfather committed suicide, he has not been the only one in the clan.
Both my grandma and my father were treated with cold eyes, and they were extremely unpopular in the clan. At that time, my father also practiced the Huangji Shield Art to the second level. Due to my grandfather, my father could no longer practice the third level of the art.
.
"Two years after my grandfather committed suicide, my grandmother also died of depression. My father had no shame to stay in the family anymore, so he resolutely left the family. He was warned by the patriarch at the time not to join the world as a descendant of the Lan family. My father silently agreed. My father
After joining the world, he became an ordinary person. Later he met my mother. My mother liked him very much and did not think he was boring or an orphan (because Lan Yufeng's father kept his promise and did not say
The secret that he was a descendant of the Lan clan) married him, and his father lived a happy life for several years.
"But in the third year after my parents got married, my mother became pregnant, but she suffered a heavy hemorrhage when she gave birth to me. My parents had disagreements over the issue of keeping me older and younger. My mother said in pain that she must keep me.
, but my father insisted on protecting the elder rather than the younger. In the end, my mother's insistence won and I was born, but my mother died of hemorrhage..."
When Lan Yufeng said this, he couldn't help but shed two tears. Although his father told him these things, the greatness of maternal love means that even if he has never seen his mother with his own eyes, he can still
Deeply felt.
Qin Xiang's eyes were also slightly misty, and she thought to herself: "Yu Feng's life experience is quite pitiful, but what about me? I don't even know who my parents are? What does father's love and mother's love really feel like?"
He knew nothing about his parents. Before entering the tomb, Shen Shiran said that he would tell him something when he came out of the tomb. However, after coming out, Shen Shiran never mentioned the matter again. Sometimes he asked him intentionally or unintentionally.
, Shen Shiran also avoided it with clever words.
"Yu Feng, don't be too sad. At least you are better than me and you know who your father and mother are, but I...well, I don't even know what my parents look like." Qin Xiang sighed.
.
"Brother..."
Seeing Qin Xiang's appearance, Lan Yufeng knew that he would not lie, so he called out in a low voice.
"Okay, the past is past. What happened next?" Qin Xiang asked softly.
Lan Yufeng calmed down and then continued: "When my mother was dying, my father finally stopped ignoring the clan leader's warning and told her his life experience. My father said that after my mother heard this, she looked at me and begged my father,
He said he must let me recognize my ancestor and return to my clan."
Lan Yufeng turned away, wiped her tears lightly, and said after a while: "Father agreed. After my mother passed away, my father took me with him with great difficulty. Because I was too young, I didn't dare to go back to the clan immediately.
I returned to my family when I was seven years old, but, but..."
Speaking of this, Lan Yufeng's face was full of anger, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiang also had a premonition that something bad would happen.
"Less than half a year after my father returned to the clan, he was... so angry that they vomited blood and died!" Lan Yufeng roared through gritted teeth.
At that moment, a pair of eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, a face became abnormally ferocious, the veins on the neck were bulging, and the clenched fists of both hands could hear the sound of rattling joints, and the tall body was violently
trembling.
It seems that Lan Yufeng was extremely angry about this matter.
Qin Xiang was shocked, angry and pitiful. She looked at the young man in front of her and didn't know what to say to comfort him for a moment.
He even regretted a little. Shouldn't he have touched the most serious scar in his heart?
(ps: The third update has arrived. I have coded 9,700 words in a row, nearly 10,000 words. It feels really hard. If nothing else, the abdominal flesh, internal organs, and sternum are all squeezed and painful. I don’t know which book fan has tried it.
Passed? Haha, but I finally completed the task and can finally sleep. Thanks to the book friend 'France Paris' for the reward of 58 reading coins. I can also give red flowers to the fragrance fans...all understand...)
