When the sky gradually became brighter, Chen Nuo's mental strength recovered a little and he could reluctantly get up and move around on his own.
This woman later said nothing to Chen Nuo and just sat silently by the bonfire.
However, it can be seen that although her expression is cold, the original cold aura between her eyebrows seems to have been removed.
At six or seven in the morning, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, and Wu Daotao was seen walking over with his head covered with dew, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"here."
The woman stood up and shouted at the entrance of the cave, then waved her hand to Wu Daotao.
Wu Daotao ran a few steps into the cave. Seeing Chen Nuo sitting there intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. He came over and took Chen Nuo's hand.
"Junior brother, just be fine!"
Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.
Wu Taotao turned to the woman and shouted: "What the hell are you crazy about? It's okay to beat and scold you all the time on weekdays! This time my junior brother came to the door, you were like tearing down the house in the middle of the night, and the beatings were earth-shattering! This time
What do people think of our home?
My junior brother came to our sect with good intentions to reshape his body, and even donated more than 100,000 yuan! You..."
When Wu Taotao said this, he turned to Chen Nuo and said solemnly: "Junior brother! All the mistakes are made, and it's all senior brother's fault! My wife has always been weird, but she actually has no bad intentions, and she doesn't really want to hurt you!
Look...if you still have some anger in your heart, just vent it on me, senior brother, okay?"
Chen Nuo sighed, looked into Wu Taotao's eyes, and finally said with a wry smile: "That's all... Finally, my sister-in-law showed mercy. Although I was a little surprised, it didn't matter.
Senior brother, this matter has been revealed!"
Wu Daotao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman next to me said coldly: "How are you at home?"
"With the formation guarding us, the house finally didn't collapse!" Wu Daotao said uncharacteristically.
This time Wu Taotao was really angry. No matter how afraid of his wife he was, no matter how timid he was.
But what happened this night, this woman really went too far! Her junior brother came to visit her. Even if there was some misunderstanding in the middle of the night, she shouldn't have been so harsh. She just looked like she was going to kill someone!
Normally, she would follow her daughter-in-law no matter how much trouble she made, but Wu Daotao could never sit idly by and let such a big thing happen!
And because his wife is his closest relative, he is even more worried that she will cause a big disaster!
The woman was scolded by Wu Daotao for the first time, but she was not angry. Instead, she looked at Wu Daotao deeply, and then a hint of smile appeared in her eyes.
"It's good that everything is fine at home. Well... you take care of your junior brother here. When he can move around later, you can carry him back home."
"Huh?" Wu Daotao saw that his wife was actually talking to him in a harmonious manner. For a moment, he was a little unable to react. He had already prepared to be kicked in the face when he said those insulting words.
"I have four children at home, so I'm not worried about it, so I'm going back first."
After the woman warned Wu Daotao, she glanced at Chen Nuo and said, "Junior brother, let's meet at home later.
You were injured just now and couldn't move. I couldn't carry you back as a woman, so I called Old Wu to come over.
You have a good rest here for a while, and I will go home to make some morning meals. When you have rested, come back for dinner."
After saying this, the woman actually walked up to Wu Daotao.
Her expression was a little complicated. After staring at Wu Daotao, she suddenly lowered her head and said something softly.
"Yes...I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"...Huh?" Wu Daotao's eyes widened in horror: "???"
After the woman finished saying this, she lowered her head and walked out, quickly disappearing into the forest.
"...Junior brother! Pull me, pull me quickly!
I'm afraid I heard it wrong just now?
This, this woman, actually apologized to me?!"
·
Chen Nuo looked at Wu Daotao now, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this arrogant senior brother.
Isn't it?
His wife, who has been sleeping with him for many years, actually wants to kill him every day and every night...
How pitiful!
Senior Brother Wu must have had a very hard life over the years.
Wu Taotao came over and helped Chen Nuo to sit closer to the bonfire.
It was already autumn in October, and the morning in the mountains was still a bit damp and cold.
Leaning against the bonfire, Chen Nuo felt that the clothes on his chest were being dried by the bonfire. Gradually, his mental power took control of his body and he slowly adjusted his sitting posture.
The progress of 7/17 means that the speed of mental recovery has accelerated a bit.
"Junior brother, last night..."
Seeing that Wu Taotao wanted to explain something else, Chen Nuo shook his head and said: "Senior brother, there is no need to talk about what happened last night. Now that we have said it, my sister-in-law did it because she was angry and made a mistake, so let's forget it."
Well, obviously Wu Daotao didn't know that his wife had been killed and tortured every day for many years. The woman herself didn't say anything, so there was no need for her to tell him.
The two sat by the campfire for a while. Chen Nuo remembered what this woman had said to him a while ago, and suddenly his heart moved.
"Senior brother, can you tell me about the Qingyun Sect?"
"Huh?" Wu Taotao raised his eyelids: "Why is junior brother suddenly interested in my Qingyun Sect?"
Chen Nuo smiled: "I just suddenly became curious."
Wu Taotao pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "There is nothing that cannot be said. My sect has an ancient inheritance. In terms of origin, it has some origins with Taoism, and is also somewhat involved with Buddhism and Confucianism.
"
Seeing Chen Nuo's eyes widening, Wu Daotao shook his head and said: "It's not some myth or legend, you are thinking too much.
It’s just that in our ancient Chinese civilization, several sects have influenced each other for a long time in history. You have me among you, and you have among me.
Our Qingyun Sect has been inherited to this day and has naturally been mixed for thousands of years."
Chen Nuo nodded: "Then...are you considered...a sect of cultivating immortals?"
Wu Daotao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
Then this guy couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahahaha! What kind of sect of cultivating immortals? Junior brother, what you said is a bit funny.
We just inherited some magical secrets from ancient times, but if we talk about attaining Taoism and cultivating immortality, it is just something made up by novelists."
"It's not like..." Chen Nuo was about to make a metaphor, but suddenly remembered that it was only 2001.
What about killing immortals, what about mortals cultivating immortals? These have not appeared yet.
After thinking for a while, he said: "What I mean is, the kind of sect that cultivates immortality like in "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"? What kind of golden elixir stage, Nascent Soul stage..."
As he spoke, Chen Nuo casually talked about some novels and immortality cultivation systems that he had read in his previous life.
Wu Daotao blinked his eyelids: "Jinjing Dan? Xiu Yuanying?"
The guy thought for a moment and then laughed.
"My master died at the age of sixty-one. Before his death, he was just a little tougher and his legs and feet were more flexible than ordinary old country men. At the age of sixty, he could still climb trees and get into his house.
But what about that? My next-door neighbor at the foot of the mountain, Old Man Cai, lived to be eighty-two years old."
"Why is your master missing?"
"Type 1 diabetes is congenital. It will cause various complications as you get older, and eventually you will die." Wu Taotao shrugged.
Chen Nuo: "..."
Well, it seems that it is not a sect of cultivating immortals.
I have never heard of any monk dying of diabetes...
"Senior brother, my sister-in-law's skills should be the most powerful among your Qingyun sect, right?"
"...Uh, this..." Wu Daotao was a little embarrassed.
"I'm not asking about the current generation, I'm asking... if your Qingyun Sect has moved forward for several generations, I'm afraid my sister-in-law is also a top figure, right?"
Wu Daotao thought for a while, but he was honest and nodded: "That's not bad. My wife is a bit weird, but she is really capable.
If we talk about the special skills in the sect, she has reached the pinnacle in the way of attack.
Junior brother, I advised you yesterday not to provoke her, but look, I really didn’t lie to you, right?"
"Master Sister-in-law is so awesome, I've learned a lesson this time." Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and nodded.
"I heard my master say back then that my wife's talent is so powerful that even my master can't see it.
If we look forward...
My master said when he was alive, my wife, her achievements can be said to be the first person in my Qingyun sect in the past three hundred years! Not only is she far more than my master, but even my master cannot compare with her.
of.
For more than three hundred years, she is probably the number one person in the family."
When Chen Nuo heard this, he nodded: "For more than three hundred years...
Then, what about more than three hundred years ago?"
"Then let's talk about a legendary ancestor of my Qingyun Sect."
Wu Taotao pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "More than three hundred years ago, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, our Qingyun Sect produced a figure who was like a peerless genius.
That Patriarch was born in my Qingyun Sect, but he was extremely talented and his skills surpassed those of today. He even created a set of unique skills.
This set of unique skills later became my Qingyun Sect's sect-holding technique and the way to transform my spirit to attack.
It's a pity that for more than three hundred years, no one in the sect has been able to master this unique skill.
In our generation, my daughter-in-law is the first to master the master's unique skills in more than three hundred years."
Chen Nuo nodded: "Senior brother, can you tell me about the founder?"
Wu Taotao took a deep look at Chen Nuo: "Why are you so curious about this patriarch?"
"I'm just curious." Chen Nuo said with a smile without explaining.
Wu Daotao thought for a while, but didn't ask any further questions.
"Speaking of that Patriarch, his talent is naturally excellent. The generation when he was the leader was the most prosperous period in the history of our Qingyun Sect.
At that time, the world was in great turmoil. First, there was the disaster of refugees, and then there was the disaster of war, like locusts.
Later, the Manchus entered the Pass and conquered the world.
In those decades, the world was in chaos.
But the ancestor of my Qingyun Sect, because of his great achievements in magic, is quite famous in the world, so he only protects him in his hometown.
If we talk about that era, these ten miles and eight villages were actually the sphere of influence of my Qingyun Sect.
Whether it was refugees or war disasters, because of the protection of the patriarch, no harm could come to our hometown.
Later, in order to cope with the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the founder also used his reputation to raise a rebel army..."
"Then what?"
"Then..." Wu Daotao said in a strange tone: "It is said in the family that the founder mobilized the rebel army and tied up with the small court, thinking of contributing to the country and resisting the Tartars... But suddenly, there was something wrong
The terrifying big devil threatens the world.
My ancestor was invited by fellow Jianghu fellows to help and eradicate the devil.
After he left, it was said that the devil died under the Patriarch's unparalleled swordsmanship, but the Patriarch himself was also seriously injured.
After returning to the gate, he left behind the Zhuxian Divine Sword and the Wushuang Swordsman who were in charge of the world. He died soon after and the rebel army he had raised disappeared into thin air..."
Chen Nuo's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he suddenly asked: "Then...which year was it?"
"Well... I have to go back and look up the family tree of my family... I only read these things when I was young, and I just treated them as legends, and I didn't take them too seriously."
Wu Daotao smiled bitterly and said: "Although I am a member of the Qingyun Sect, I also know the customs in the world.
There is nothing to brag about.
In some cases, three points should be compared to ten points.
That patriarch is really talented.
If we say it is a suppression of the contemporary world, I am afraid that it is just our sect that is giving ourselves a premium.
As for the reason for joining the rebel army, I think there should be some.
It's just... that he went out to kill the big devil who was harming the world... I'm afraid this is just a fabrication by the descendants of the sect.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, how could there be any big demon who would harm the world?
Unless he went and stabbed the Tatar emperor to death? But that's not right, the Tatar emperor was not stabbed to death.
So...I think about it...
I am afraid that the descendants of the family will pay tribute to this ancestor to hide his shame.
I'm afraid the real situation is that the Patriarch led a rebel army to resist the Manchus, but the army was defeated and dispersed.
In order to cover up the shame of our ancestors, later generations probably made up such a story about killing the big devil and dying."
When Chen Nuo heard this, he didn't refute, just smiled softly: "That's it...Thank you, senior brother, for satisfying my curiosity."
·
In the morning, Wu Daotao helped Chen Nuo back to Qingyun Gate.
The yard has almost been tidied up, and the broken osmanthus flowers on the ground have been swept to a corner of the yard wall.
It's just that the osmanthus tree used by Qingyun Sect to hide the "Ancestral Sword" has been torn into pieces.
However, the eldest disciple Tie Zhu had already carried all the tree trunks to the woodshed behind the kitchen. From the looks of it, he planned to chop them up and use them as firewood.
After Wu Daotao came back, he couldn't help but scolded his apprentice for being a prodigal son.
"You're going to chop up such good wood and use it as firewood?
Go back to the carpenter to buy some tung oil, dry it in the sun and brush it with oil, and it will be good wood. You can make half a set of furniture and sell it at the market for some money!"
Tie Zhu was scolded and said with a mournful face: "It wasn't my idea... it was my wife who told me to use it as firewood."
Wu Daotao was stunned.
When he turned around, he saw his wife standing at the door of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in her hand and looking at him.
"Uh... I'm not..." Wu Taotao subconsciously felt a little weak in his calves.
"What your master said is right, but I failed to consider it." The woman said calmly to Tie Zhu, "Just do what your master said."
After finishing speaking, he nodded to Chen Nuo: "Junior brother is back. I steamed buns in the steamer and cooked some porridge. You wash your hands and go to the table to wait. I will bring it over right away."
Seeing the woman turn around and enter the kitchen, Wu Daotao was stunned, but he pinched his thigh hard and grinned in pain.
"hiss!!!"
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
"No, let me try to see if I'm dreaming..." Wu Daotao looked in the direction of the kitchen, looking at the very familiar figure busy inside, and couldn't help but have strange eyes.
"I... have been married for so many years, but she was so kind and reasonable only in the first few days of marriage..."
·
After breakfast, the four children at home still reacted strangely to Chen Nuo's return. This guest had a big fight with the mistress last night, so why are they sitting at the same table to eat in a friendly manner again today?
Especially Erya.
Situ Beixuan and Chen Nuo had known each other before and were familiar with each other, so he secretly pulled Chen Nuo and asked:
"Hey, Chen Scumbag, have you made peace with my wife?"
"Didn't anyone teach you manners at a young age? What do you call me? Be respectful when you call me!" Chen Nuo glared.
"Okay." Erya nodded:
"Uncle Chen Scumbag...have you been subdued by my wife?"
"..."
However, it is not without benefits to be familiar with Erya.
After breakfast, Chen Nuo took Erya to pretend to chat, and then asked Erya to help read the family tree's record of the legendary patriarch.
Then, Chen Nuo got the piece of information he cared about most!
The legendary patriarch was born in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The time of death is...
The ninth year of Ming Dynasty Yongli!!
Chen Nuo glanced at his Nokia phone...
Hey, I miss the era of smart phones so much right now!
With today’s mobile phones, it is impossible to search for information online.
I called Sun Keke back and asked Sun Keke to check it online on her home computer.
In two minutes, Chen Nuo got the answer he wanted!
The ninth year of Ming Dynasty.
That is...the year 1655 in the Gregorian calendar!
·
During the trip to Brazil, before the battle against the seeds, in that ruin space...
Chen Nuo once had a conversation with Davarich, and got important news about the mother body from Vanel!
"...In 1655, a mysterious religion was discovered in a place in East Africa...capturing people from other tribes...and sending them to the gods, and let the gods absorb the souls of the sacrifices...
"The mother body was found and eliminated... Our organization suffered huge losses! We lost three top powerhouses... I can guarantee that those three seniors are all top powerhouses at the controller level..."
1655!!
The ninth year of Ming Dynasty Yongli!
The contemporary head of the Qingyun Sect, the founder, fought with his own body to kill the big devil who was endangering the world, but died after his success! He returned to the sect before his death, leaving behind the divine sword and the sword, and passed away...
·
Therefore, the ancestor of Qingyun Sect...
In 1655, he was one of the three masterminds who participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the mother body and unfortunately died in the end?
·
So, what about the killing intention in swordsmanship?
According to Wu Daotao's wife, after the patriarch killed a demon, he suppressed the demon's soul in the divine sword!
That is to say...
Thoughts of killing...
It’s related to the mother’s body!
·
Sitting in the courtyard of Qingyunmen, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, Chen Nuo took a deep breath and couldn't help but take a quick peek into his conscious space...
that……
"Tree of Killing Thoughts"!
·
This thing seems to have a lot to do with the "Tree of Doom", it seems to have the same origin!
So...the tree of doom is the most powerful weapon to restrain the mother body!
So where does the tree of murderous thoughts come from?
The first possibility: The Tree of Killing Thoughts was cultivated by the Qingyun Sect Patriarch himself! After all, he is a strong man who practices the art of killing with swordsmanship. It is barely acceptable to accidentally cultivate such a weird thing.
But...I always feel that something is not quite right.
The second possibility: This tree of murderous thoughts was brought out of the mother body by the patriarch after he and other masters killed the mother body side by side! The patriarch didn't know how to deal with this thing, so he used secret techniques to seal it in
into his own divine sword...
A similar approach is the same as Chen Nuo sealing the "Tree of Doom" in the consciousness space.
Although I don’t know exactly how the founder did it, after all, keeping such a thing sealed for hundreds of years is quite an ability!
Both of these guesses are possible.
If you want to say which one it is...
Chen Nuo personally prefers the second type!
Because, if it is the first type, if this thing was cultivated by the founder himself...
Just look at Wu Daotao’s wife and you will know!
According to the life records of the founder who cultivated the Tree of Killing Thoughts, he was not a murderous person, and there is no record of him being tortured by thoughts of killing in his life.
On the contrary, it is recorded in the sect that this patriarch had a kind and generous personality, and a gentleman as gentle as jade.
So……
In the second possibility, this matter becomes even more complicated.
Chen Nuo sighed.
·
Chen Nuo said goodbye and left Qingyun Gate in the afternoon and returned to Jinling City.
After half a day's rest, my mental strength has recovered a lot. Although it has not reached full state, it has not hindered normal actions.
Wu Daotao and his wife brought four children to the door.
But the woman suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Junior brother, wait a moment."
With that said, the woman turned around and walked into the yard. After a while, she actually took out a small wooden box and stuffed it into Chen Nuo's hand.
"I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to give this thing to you. But Junior Brother, you have a great opportunity with our Qingyun Sect, so it is most appropriate to put this thing in your hands."
After hearing this, Chen Nuo was about to open it, but the woman shook her head: "Go back and open it again. When you open it, it's best to find a safer place."
"……good."
Chen Nuo nodded and carefully stuffed this thing into his arms.
·
It's night.
It was silent in the middle of the night.
Everyone in Qingyun Sect has gone to bed early...
·
"Wu, don't pretend to be dead. It's been more than half a month. You have to hand over the food today, whether you want to or not!"
"……I have a headache……"
"I've prepared painkillers for you!"
"I twisted my waist while moving things during the day..."
"I'll massage your bones myself!"
"...I...this...it's not that I really don't want to pay!!
But every time you get halfway through it, you suddenly kick me down and stare with your eyes as if you want to kill someone. Who the hell can stand it!!!"
"...Don't worry, I will never hit you today."
"You say that every time... Only if I believe you do you have a ghost!"
"real!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Then... you tie me up with a rope!"
"...Tie them up? Damn it! So exciting?" Wu Daotao shook his head: "No, no, no! You are so capable, even if I tie you with a cowhide rope, it will break as soon as you pull away!"
"...Take it! This is my immortal rope! If you use this to tie me up, I won't be able to break free. Don't worry about that!"
"... Damn it, Immortal Binding Rope? Isn't that even more prickly...
Ah, bah, bah, bah! I mean, this...isn't appropriate?"
"If you are asked to tie them up, then tie them up! Wu Daotao, don't you want to pay the food?
Or did they have sex secretly outside?!"
"You asked me to tie this up..."
After a while...
"Wu Daotao! You!!
I asked you to tie me up, you... what did you tie me up to!
