Shendou Continent

Chapter 77
On the second day in Yanzhou, Lin You sold the giant python gall snake skin and the whole Siberian tiger to a medicinal herb shop and made a small fortune.

Then he measured a new rough cloth Tsing Yi in the tailor shop, added money and asked the boss to make it as soon as possible, and the boss got the money and worked hard.That night, he spent the night in the inn in Fucheng, washing off the smell of wild land, and fell asleep soundly after a full meal.

Another day, after taking out new clothes, he continued on his way.All the way west, all the way.

After more than a month of trekking, Lin You, who traveled alone, took the map left by Lin San back then, went all the way west, crossed Shenshan Mountain, passed the border check, crossed the big river, walked through many large and small cities and countless country lanes, and finally arrived at Jiangzhou is the junction of the largest rivers in the mainland, the Chu River and the Han River.

After a night of rest, Lin You came to the Qintai according to the former site of the Qintai outside Jiangzhou City.

This Qintai is on the bank of Moon Lake at the west foot of Guishan Mountain in Jiangzhou, facing Guishan Mountain in the east and Yuehu Lake in the north. You can see the confluence of the two rivers when you step on the stage.According to "God Fighting Strange Story", there once was a god fighter named Boya who was good at music in mainland China, and he ran into an ordinary person named Ziqi there.Boya was good at playing the qin, and Ziqi was good at listening.When Boya played the qin, his ambition was high mountains, Ziqi said: "It's good, it's as towering as a mountain!" His ambition was flowing water, Ziqi said: "It's good, it's as vast as flowing water!" What Boya read, Ziqi will surely get it.When Ziqi died, Boya said that there would be no more bosom friends in the world, but the strings of the zither were broken, and there would be no more drums for life.Many years later, later generations built a piano platform here to commemorate it.

About 500 years ago, the Xie family began to prosper in the Guangchu Empire. The first ancestor Xie An was a native of Shaozhou in the Ouyue Empire. In order to reach the realm of Holy Fighter, he took refuge in the newly rising Guangchu Empire in the troubled times, made contributions to the empire, and laid a large foundation.Xie An resigned from the government in his later years, and his family moved to the vicinity of Qintai in Jiangzhou. Xie's house was first built. It was not a sect, but because of the large number of followers, it gradually became a sect, and the territory expanded to Guishan.Because of Qintai, the sect was named Qintai Sect.After the development of the past dynasties, the Qintai Sect has become the largest sect in Guangchu a hundred years ago, but 26 years ago, all the sects were massacred.

On September 27, [-] in the holy calendar, Lin You came to Qintai.

Facing the torrential river, Lin You has infinite emotion.The blood of the Qintai Sect has been drained, and the collapsed old palace of Qintai still maintains a majestic appearance. Layers of Zongmen archways and contiguous architectural ruins tell the story of the past glory of this place.The broken walls and ruins in all directions, and the little red marks also record the suffering here. It has been 26 years, and the blood of Qintai Sect has already dried up, but the blood in Lin You's heart is still dripping, and the blood has been flowing quietly for 26 years.

Kneeling facing east, facing the direction where his father and grandfather died, he kowtowed heavily, and then kowtowed three times. The sound of kowtow became heavier each time, and blood was already oozing from his forehead.At this moment, he was already numb. Compared with the blood that was bleeding in his heart, these things on this face were simply insignificant.

Whenever he dreamed back at midnight, whenever he recalled the past, Lin You felt extremely painful in his heart.On the way here, every step was so difficult, not because the road was difficult, but because I felt uncomfortable.The sunny day yesterday, perhaps because of the hatred in his heart, turned into a bitter wind and rain at night.

How much hate, in the dream last night...

A person's road to revenge is destined to be difficult.But what's the fear of going it alone?So what if you are lonely?You can cry along the way, but you can't be cowardly.You are the direct blood of Qintai, the top sect in the mainland for 500 years, and the blood of the Qintai saints of the past dynasties flows in your body.After the long night, you will finally usher in the dawn of justice.

After paying homage to his father and ancestor, Lin You continued to look and look at the former site of Qintai Sect with a heavy heart.Afterwards, full of tears in his heart, he walked out of the Qintai silently.The sect has been destroyed, he wants to see if the disciples are still alive.

From the next day, he used the excuse of being interested in the Qintai Sect to inquire about the situation.Qintaizong used to be sensitive to the situation. In the first few years of its destruction, doing so would be targeted by the Guangchu court.However, 26 years have passed, and the Emperor Guangchu who ordered the attack has passed away, and the matter of the Qintai Sect is no longer taboo.It's just that some descendants are afraid that the enemy will continue to hunt and kill, so they dare not admit it easily.Therefore, Lin's inquiry was basically fruitless.

But Lin You still found the sub-helm of the Holy See in Jiangzhou, and visited the head bishop of the sub-helm.After getting acquainted with Lu Jianyi, Lin You's view of the Holy See has changed a lot, and he thought that perhaps he could try his luck in the Holy See.Ordinary people visited rashly, and the top figures of the Holy See would not meet, but now Lin You can be said to be the youngest fighter of transformation in the mainland. What kind of recommendation and certificate do you need for such a person to visit?Just come here!
The first bishop, Wang Baoqiang, had already left his official room when he learned that a young warrior of transformation was going to pay a visit to him.Seeing the young man in front of him, he felt that the fluctuation of his soul power was roughly the same as his own, and his cultivation should not be bad, but he couldn't tell his age from his appearance, after all, fighters are always young.After knowing Lin You's identity as a traveling fighter of the Wuyun Sect, he warmly received the visiting Lin You.

At this time, Lin You had long since ceased to be hostile to the Holy See, so he generously reported Wuyun's family.Seeing that the bishop was polite, Lin You asked about the story of the Qintai Sect after a few polite words.Over the years, many people who came to Jiangzhou were interested in Qintai Sect, and it was normal to ask a few questions, so Bishop Wang didn't think too much about it.After chatting for a few words, he found that the people from Wuyunmen seemed to be different from those in the past. They seemed to be particularly interested in the Qintai sect, and they didn't even miss every tiny detail.Although he began to be suspicious in his heart, he did not point out that the Holy See had nothing to do with the matter of Qintai Sect.Therefore, it is also a question and answer.In this way, Lin You knew some details of the Qintai Sect's demise.

It turned out that after the Qintai Sect was destroyed, a very small number of direct disciples and family members survived, but these people have all fled away, and it is basically hard to find them.Among the closest relatives of the suzerain Xie Youliang, except for the grandson who jumped off the Xuantian Cliff, whereabouts are unknown, the other blood relatives within three generations have all died, and the corpses have been checked by someone.During the prosperous period of Qintai Sect, there were also some small sects attached to Qintai Sect.People from those small sects are proud to be attached to the Qintai Sect, and the Qintai Sect also takes great care of them. In the entire Jiangzhou City, except for the power of the government and the Holy See, the folks are basically controlled by the Qintai Sect, but Qintai Zongkuang supported justice and helped the people for the people, which was well received.The Qintai sect kept a certain distance from the imperial court, and the contradictions gradually accumulated in this way.When the Qintai Sect was destroyed, except for a small sect called Shouyi Sect, none of the local sects came out to help, and a few even joined the army to kill the Qintai Sect, defecting and begging for glory.

Lin Yi wrote down these sects one by one. The Shouyi Sect was destroyed for the Qintai Sect, and the sect was also destroyed. The Sect Master died in battle.However, although Shouyizong was destroyed, the disciples were not exterminated, and some direct disciples were still secretly operating in Cai County, the countryside of Jiangzhou.The ones who sold the master for glory were the Hongshanmen and the Qingfeng Sect, especially the Qingfeng Sect, who betrayed the Qintai Sect and took refuge in the imperial court. Xie Zidan was also killed because of the betrayal of the Qingfeng faction.

Because of their great contribution to the emperor, the Qingfeng Sect was supported afterwards and gradually became the largest sect in Jiangzhou.This sect is called Qingfeng, but its style is really dirty, bullying the weak, burning, killing and robbing, it is full of evil.Because the emperor personally rewarded them and relied on their merits, the local government also turned a blind eye to them, and the current prefect of Jiangzhou and the Qingfeng faction were actually in collusion.Many Jiangzhou sects and people now miss the old Qintai sect. When they were there, they acted chivalrously, fought against the strong and helped the weak, pursued fairness and justice, and were able to preside over the overall situation of the people.But the Qingfeng faction, like Emperor Guangchu, blows not a clean wind, but an unhealthy one.

As for Hongshanmen, they also behaved badly, but because of their weak strength, they didn't play a decent role.Except for these three, the other sects that were originally attached to the Qintai Sect chose to stand by and watch.The world is hot and cold, and human relations are realistic. When you are at the height of the sun, thousands of people come to court, and the grand occasion is unprecedented, but when your sun is setting, everyone will push the wall down.Although Lin You also despised these sects, they were able to push back against the wall, at least better than Qingfeng Sect and Hongshan Sect.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself, and one's own destiny can only depend on oneself.
