It was related to the mystery of the original owner's life experience, and it was also related to himself. Lin Dongjiu did not dare to be careless, and recounted some of the original owner's childhood experiences and how he came here.
In my memory, the original owner's life as a child was quite miserable.
He begged for a living every day and had to give most of the money he collected to the traffickers who controlled him, otherwise he would be beaten severely.
Such difficult days continued until Lin Dong was about ninety years old. At that time, he was growing taller. The money he got from begging was not enough to feed him half full, and he had to give a large portion to the traffickers, so he secretly hid some money.
Buy some more steamed buns to eat.
Over time, the act of hiding money will naturally not escape the eyes of human traffickers.
On that day, several traffickers gathered together their beggars like Lin Dongjiu and began to beat Lin Dongjiu crazily in front of them as a warning to others.
The traffickers beat him until his head was bleeding and they showed no intention of stopping. Lin Dongjiu knew in his heart that they would not stop until they beat him to death.
When he was near death, the anger and unwillingness in Lin Dongjiu's heart accidentally activated the fire root in his body.
In this world, spiritual roots are the symbol of those who cultivate immortality!
Those without spiritual roots will remain mortals all their lives, but those with spiritual roots can cultivate immortality and become "immortals" that mortals look up to, and their status is as different as clouds and mud.
Although Lin Dongjiu had not practiced at that time, the power of the Fire Spirit Root was still instinctively inspired by him. Even if the power was not as powerful as that of immortal cultivators of the same age, it was still enough to deal with these human traffickers in the secular world.
When the little beggars on the street saw that the traffickers who controlled them were knocked to the ground, they immediately dispersed.
Lin Dongjiu also fainted due to forcibly stimulating his spiritual roots. When he woke up again, he found that he was being carried by a sloppily dressed old man.
Yes, the old man is Hong Yun.
Hong Yun, who was traveling far and wide that day, happened to pass by here and witnessed the whole process of Lin Dongjiu activating the fire spirit root. He felt that Lin Dongjiu's spirit root was of excellent quality, so he developed a love for talents and planned to accept him as his disciple.
In this way, Yun You returned to Luoxia Sect with Lin Dongjiu on his back, and he also became the old man's disciple.
After finishing speaking, the old man thought for a long time and sighed quietly: "I see, my child, your life is miserable..."
Lin Dongjiu shrugged, not feeling much.
Peng Yan on the side was about to cry, crying from exhaustion.
Xiaopang never expected that he thought his opportunity had arrived, but he didn't expect to be caught by this mysterious boss and made him a servant.
He also thought about resisting, but his strength did not allow it!
He knew that the old man existed in the form of a soul. Needless to say, the old man's lowest level of cultivation was at the level of concentration. You didn't even have to lift a finger to kill him.
The old man stroked his beard and said doubtfully: "That's not right... Logically speaking, when you awakened the Red Dragon Fire Spirit Root, the Yin family should have been able to sense your location at that time. Why didn't they find you and take you back?"
"Maybe my master took me back to Luoxia Sect and happened to miss them." Lin Dongjiu explained without thinking too much.
"So, you have been practicing hard in the Luoxia Sect. You don't know what major events have happened to the royal family of Lingyun Kingdom in recent years, right?"
Lin Dongjiu smiled bitterly. He only found out about the surname Yin and the surname Huang when he went to the flower party, let alone knowing about any important things.
The old man frowned, but the little fat man seemed to have finally found an opportunity.
He put down his fan and said with a naive smile: "Ancestor, I know! I know!"
"Then just fan me and tell me at the same time." The ancestor glanced at him.
"Ahem!"
With a smile on his face, Peng Yan told everything he knew:
"Fifteen years ago, a young prince in Lingyun Kingdom did disappear. If we combine it with our ancestors, that young prince must be Brother Lin."
Lin Dongjiu nodded thoughtfully, and Xiaopang continued:
"Ten years ago, the Lingyun Kingdom's imperial concubine was murdered. The monarch became ill and soon followed the imperial concubine."
"The monarch only left one son and one daughter in his life. The son disappeared and his five-year-old daughter Yin Tao succeeded to the throne. However, the princess was still young, so King Gongsheng has been in charge ever since."
Lin Dongjiu said in surprise: "So, I still have a younger sister?"
Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "Yes, if you count the time, your sister should be fifteen this year."
"Alas, such a big change has happened in Lingyun Kingdom. No wonder no new successor of the Yin family has come in to study the Dragon Picture recently."
The old man sighed, but smiled again and said:
"But who would have thought that due to a strange combination of circumstances, the missing heir of the Yin family would actually find this place on his own. It's really God's will."
Lin Dongjiu asked implicitly: "The Yin family... and this place..."
"Haha, you have just figured out your life experience. There are some things I need to tell you slowly."
The old man looked at Lin Dongjiu with kind eyes, turned his head and said to the little fat man with a cold face:
"You can go and have a rest. Just go squat by the lake not far away."
The old man thought the little fat man's movements were too slow, so he waved his hand and the little fat man took off immediately.
After sending away the outsiders, the old man slowly said: "Do you know the origin of the Dragon Burial Mountain Range?"
Lin Dongjiu shook his head. The old man's eyes were misty, as if he was lost in memories, and he said slowly:
"About ten thousand years ago, our ancestor of the Yin family was originally a woodcutter who cut wood.
One day when he was going to chop wood, he rescued a stranger who was all wounded. He took good care of the man for three days, but the stranger still couldn't survive because of his serious injuries."
"The man told our ancestors before he died that his true body was a divine dragon from the upper realm, and he died here accidentally.
In order to repay his kindness for caring for him for three days, Shenlong helped him reshape his spiritual roots. After leaving an opportunity, he flew out of the door and revealed his true form. The dragon's body fell to the ground and died.
Probably because I don’t want the monks in the world of immortality to covet the dragon corpse. Within half a breath, its flesh and blood will rot, the dragon bones will turn into stone, and eventually it will turn into the Dragon Burial Mountain Range."
Lin Dongjiu said suddenly: "There is a folk legend that the Dragon Burial Mountain Range was transformed by the dragon after its death. It turns out this is true!"
The old man nodded slowly and said:
"Why did the divine dragon fall here? It left the answer in the dragon picture in Fenglong Hall. That dragon picture can be regarded as one of the opportunities it left us.
Comprehension of the dragon diagram can enhance one's momentum, which our Yin family calls opening momentum.
The ancestors stipulated that only the heirs of the head of the Yin family are qualified to comprehend the Dragon Diagram, because only the heirs who comprehend the Dragon Diagram can produce red dragon fire spiritual roots and are qualified to enter the Fenglong Palace.
This can avoid disputes within the family and ensure the continuation of the bloodline.
Our ancestors were originally mortals, but after receiving the opportunity of the divine dragon, they achieved the realm of heaven and human beings.
But he did not ascend to the fairy world. Instead, he felt the kindness of the divine dragon and used the divine dragon's body to create a small world, which is what you call the secret realm, in order to protect the Dragon Burial Mountain Range.
His descendants, that is, us, will live in the small world from generation to generation.
The ruins you mentioned are the places where we originally developed and lived.
However, as time went by, some people in the Yin family longed for the excitement of the outside world, so they stepped out of the small world and relied on the opportunities left by Shenlong to establish the Lingyun Kingdom.
Later, there were fewer and fewer people left in the secret realm, and I didn't have much longevity left at that time. I was too lazy to go out and mess around, so I simply stayed and continued to guard this place in the form of my soul, and also used this to protect the Yin family from the outside world.
If the Yin family in the outside world encounters a genocide, I will go out to help the Yin family eliminate the disaster."
"In order to live forever in this world, I spend most of my time sleeping. Only when the new heir of the Yin family comes to Fenglong Palace to start a new life, I will wake up for a while, and then fall into deep sleep again.
But even if I exist as my soul, it will eventually dissipate. I have a hunch that within a few years, my soul will completely dissipate.
So, my child, you are very lucky, you may be the last heir who can receive my blessing.
I will personally deliver the remaining legacy of Shenlong to you, guide your practice, and become your protector."
After the old man finished speaking, Lin Dongjiu was trying hard to digest the information. As for what the old man said about the inheritance protector, he was not very interested.
He only cares about how he can get out.
He has people who care about him, and there are people who care about him.
In the outside world, the master, Ling'er, and the eldest lady may think that he is dead. He doesn't want to make them sad. He just wants to go out as soon as possible to see them and report that he is safe.
Lin Dongjiu asked directly: "Ancestor, how can Xiaopang and I return to the outside world?"
The ancestor frowned and said: "I have left a passage that leads directly to the secret realm, which can lead directly to the Dantian of the Shenlong. You can go out from there.
Moreover, it is protected by the Heavenly Clear Dragon Flame transformed from the Dantian Fire of the Divine Dragon, so I can give the Heavenly Clear Dragon Flame to you as a meeting gift."
Lin Dongjiu instantly remembered the place where he and Hua Yueyao subdued the Tianqing Dragon Flame. It turned out that that was the place where Shenlong's Dantian was transformed. No wonder Tianqing Dragon Flame was entrenched there.
As for the passage that the ancestor mentioned, it must be the entrance of the cave opposite the broken bridge. At that time, Hua Yueyao still wanted him to take her to fly there.
Lin Dongjiu swallowed and said, "Old Sect Leader, that... Tianqing Dragon Flame has been subdued by me."
"oh?"
The ancestor glanced at him unexpectedly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
But he shook his head and said: "That's not good. Once the Tianqing Dragon Flame is subdued, the magma that contains it will inevitably explode without its suppression. The passage is probably destroyed."
Lin Dongjiu said with a sad face: "That's what I want to say. Is there any other way to get out?"
"Well..." The ancestor frowned deeply and said:
"Fenglong Palace is a space that I deliberately created in this small world. If it were in the past, I could easily tear open the space barrier and take you away.
But now that my soul is about to collapse, I'm afraid I can't do it anymore.
What's more, the fact that the secret realm can have an entrance and exit in the Dragon Burial Mountain Range shows that the space of the secret realm is already very unstable. It is estimated that it will not be long before the space of the secret realm completely collapses.
So even if I can forcibly tear open the space barrier and take you away, the place I may reach is not a secret realm, but an unknown place.
Or more likely, it’s nothingness.”
"But there is another way to get out, that is, the outside world, the Yin family, takes the initiative to enter here, but I left an order at that time. The descendants of the Yin family cannot easily enter Fenglong Palace to disturb me unless they have to, so there is a chance that you can leave.
Not big."
"Then what should I do? Do I have to stay here for the rest of my life?"
Lin Dongjiu took a deep breath. He seemed to see that the old man was not nervous. It seemed that he was quite happy that he could not get out?
The ancestor chuckled and said: "Maybe this is fate, it doesn't matter if you stay here, Fenglong Palace was opened by me myself, and the space is extremely stable.
Moreover, here are the top resources and the best techniques. I am confident that I can train you to the realm of heaven and human beings, or even ascend to the immortal world, and then you can tear apart the space and leave."
"To the realm of heaven and humanity..."
Lin Dongjiu's breath was stagnant: "How long will it take?"
The ancestor smiled and said: "It's only a few thousand years."
That's it...that's it?
Lin Dongjiu is a bit big-headed. This old man can afford to wait, but he can't wait!
He just wants to get out of this hellish place!
Seeing his desperate look, the ancestor couldn't help but said angrily:
"You brat, don't be ignorant. How many descendants of our Yin family want to cry and ask for my guidance, but I won't even bother to listen to them. You can just have fun!
From today on, you will stay here to cultivate, and you will not be able to leave until you ascend."
Lin Dongjiu cursed in his heart, maybe this old guy just wanted to find a companion to accompany him, so that's why he wouldn't let him go out.
He deliberately teased: "Old ancestor, you will disappear soon, how can you guide me to ascend?"
The ancestor sneered and said: "Hey, you brat, don't provoke me with words, I'm just showing you a way, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself.
I dare say that the richness of spiritual energy here ranks among the top ten in the world of immortality, and you also have the red dragon fire spiritual root of our family.
You need qualifications and qualifications, and you need resources and resources. I'm afraid not even a pig can ascend.
If you can't ascend, go swimming in the lake with that little fat man as soon as possible and forget about drowning!"
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
There must be a way... Lin Dongjiu thought hard, and suddenly an idea flashed, and he had it!
Formation!
In the ruins, Hua Yueyao wanted to break through the space by setting up formations.
If Hua Yueyao can do it, of course he can do it too.
Even if you don’t know how, you can learn now!
After making some calculations, Lin Dongjiu seemed to accept his fate and promised his ancestor to stay here to practice.
He looked at the Great Sage and asked: "Ancestor, how did my little monkey get here?"
The ancestor touched the great sage's head and said dumbly: "So it's your pet!"
"But having said that, it's thanks to it that you were able to get here from the space rift alive."
Lin Dongjiu was puzzled, and the old man smiled and said:
“This little monkey’s bloodline is not simple, he belongs to the lineage of ancient ferocious beasts.
It was able to get here because its bloodline was connected to the Fenglong Palace, and the space automatically opened a passage for it.
You and that little fat guy have been exposed to its light, otherwise you would never get here even if you floated in the cracks of space for the rest of your life."
So that's it...Lin Dongjiu didn't dare to tell Xiaopang this fact.
Because Xiaopang always thought it was due to his luck, he was afraid that Xiaopang wouldn't be able to accept it for a while.
"Don't look at the little monkey being injured so seriously. This is of great benefit to it. The space storm can temper its body and speed up the awakening of its blood. It can be regarded as a chance."
Lin Dongjiu took the Monkey King and touched its little monkey's head lovingly.
For the rest of the days, Lin Dongjiu and Xiaopang lived here and started their new life of cultivation.
