Chapter 2453 The Death of a Peerless Wizard
Thanks a lot to Jiexi (200), Caiyun Weiwei (100), mableip (100), and World of Small Medicine Pot (100) for their tips!
The three people outside the door opened their eyes at the same time. Hope and Xu Xingfan were overjoyed and stood up from the ground. Xu Xingfan looked at Xu Ziyan and asked with concern:
"Auntie, are you alright?"
"My aunt was fine at first!" Xu Ziyan smiled, and then looked at Ouyang Ba on the opposite side. Ouyang Ba cupped his hands and saluted:
"Ouyang Ba pays homage to Sovereign Xu!"
"Ouyang Ba?" Xu Ziyan frowned slightly: "But a member of the Ouyang family?"
"Yes!" Ouyang Ba said respectfully.
Xu Ziyan glanced at Ouyang Ba, and seeing that the other party turned out to be the mid-term cultivation base of Tianzun, he said lightly:
"Patriarch Ouyang?"
"Don't dare!" Ouyang Ba still respectfully said: "It's just that I have lived in Ouyang's house for a longer time."
Xu Ziyan's expression is still faint: "I'm tired today, I want to rest, Ouyang Daoist, please go back!"
When the words fell, Xu Ziyan was about to turn around, and Ouyang Ba's face changed when he heard the words, and he immediately raised his voice slightly:
"Sect Master Xu, please give me another chance!"
"Opportunity?" Xu Ziyan said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know what your Ouyang family has done to me and Taixuzong. You should be grateful that I didn't trouble your Ouyang family. You let me give you Chance?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ouyang Ba's face, and then he said solemnly: "Sect Master Xu. Naturally, I can come up with a price that makes Sect Master Xu give the Ouyang family a chance!"
Xu Ziyan looked Ouyang Ba up and down, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. But Xu Ziyan finally shook his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, I don't think you have anything that can impress me. Do you think there is anything I'm missing?"
Ouyang Ba's face showed a trace of self-confidence: "Master Xu. I know that you don't lack the Dan Talisman Array, let alone the Immortal Crystal. But I believe that this treasure of our Ouyang family is what Xu Ziyan needs most at present."
"Oh?" Seeing that Ouyang Ba is so confident, Xu Ziyan is also interested in what Ouyang Ba said, so he said lightly:
"come in!"
After saying that, Xu Ziyan had already turned around and walked into the room. Ouyang Ba breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Xu Ziyan closely. Xu Xingfan and Hope were still guarding outside the door.
Xu Ziyan sat on the chair and said to Ouyang Ba: "Sit!"
"Thank you for sitting!" Ouyang Ba sat down opposite Xu Ziyan, and without waiting for Xu Ziyan to ask, he said:
"Sect Master Xu. Our Ouyang family was a small family in the south fifty million years ago. Do you know what our Ouyang family relied on to reach the status of a big family today?"
Xu Ziyan thought for a while and said: "Should there be an amazing and brilliant character?"
"Not bad! Sovereign Xu is wise!"
Xu Ziyan smiled lightly and said: "I have known about the Ouyang family, and the rise of the Ouyang family seems to be inseparable from one person, that is, a big monk named Ouyang Ying in your Ouyang family. It is said that his cultivation level has reached the peak of the mid-term of Tianzun. It is because of his existence that the Ouyang family has been led from a small family to a large family in the south. It is a pity that Ouyang Ying finally fell into the hands of the demon clan."
A trace of sadness appeared on Ouyang Ba's face, and after two breaths, Ouyang Ba regained his calm and said:
"Ouyang Ying's patriarch is indeed the patriarch of the generation that led the Ouyang family to glory. However, it is not the root cause of the Ouyang family's glory. The reason why the Ouyang family can go to glory is because of another ancestor."
"Another one?" Xu Ziyan was shocked. He didn't expect that there was a master in the Ouyang family, so he couldn't help asking:
"Who is he? His cultivation has surpassed Ouyang Ying's?"
Ouyang Ba shook his head and said, "That patriarch's name is Ouyang Xuan, and he... only has the cultivation level of the Qi refining stage!"
Xu Ziyan's face sank and said: "Friend Ouyang, are you kidding me?"
Ouyang Ba's expression didn't show any panic, instead, there was a kind of adoration in his eyes:
"No! Sect Master Xu. This is the secret of the Ouyang family. Patriarch Xuan was the eldest son of the Ouyang family at the beginning, but since he was three years old when he began to test his aptitude and prepared to practice, he found that his aptitude was extremely poor. Slender, with a lot of impurities in his body. Such a person is a waste, a trash, even if he was cultivated with the power of the whole family at that time, his final achievement will only reach the alchemy stage."
Xu Ziyan's expression became calm, she knew that Ouyang Ba would never rush here to tell her a story, and the trump card he wanted to let himself protect the Ouyang family must also fall on this Ouyang Xuan.
but……
A monk in the alchemy stage, even in the vast continent, even in the north of the boundless continent, the original Taixuanzong was not the highest cultivation level, Taixuanzong also had a Nascent Soul monk. Dan Qi is considered an ant, and an extremely weak ant, not to mention Ouyang Xuan is only in the Qi refining stage? How could such an ant make the Ouyang family rise?
Interest emerged in Xu Ziyan's heart, and he looked at Xu Ziyan.
Ouyang Ba breathed a sigh of relief again. He saw that Xu Ziyan's interest had been aroused. He was afraid that Xu Ziyan would think he was talking nonsense and drive him out directly. Taking a deep breath, .[, ! ] A proud radiance appeared on his face again.
"Although Ancestor Xuan is a direct disciple, a direct disciple who cannot cultivate is not respected, let alone the treatment that a direct disciple should receive. Therefore, ancestor Xuan was abandoned by the family at that time. Fortunately, he was still the eldest son of the patriarch at that time. The patriarch at that time, that is, Patriarch Xuan's father set aside a single courtyard for Patriarch Xuan, ignored him and let him fend for himself.
This situation became more serious after the birth of Patriarch Xuan's younger brother. Moreover, Patriarch Xuan's younger brother was very talented and was favored by the whole family. Patriarch Xuan's younger brother was later Ouyang Ying.
With the passage of time, everyone has forgotten about Old Ancestor Xuan, as if there is no such person in the Ouyang family, only a servant girl serving Ancestor Xuan takes care of Ancestor Xuan's daily life every day.
And according to the maid's later recollection, since Patriarch Xuan was sent to this private courtyard after he was three years old, the only thing he did every day besides eating and sleeping was lying on the ridge of the roof, looking up at the white clouds in the sky.
Probably when Patriarch Xuan was five years old, that is, the year Patriarch Ying was born, Patriarch Xuan suddenly fell in love with painting, every day except lying on the ridge of the roof and looking up at the sky, he would draw at his desk."
Xu Ziyan's eyes flashed, thoughtful.
"Ancestor Xuan has been painting like this, I don't know how much he has painted, he has been painting for eighteen years, when Ancestor Xuan was twenty-three years old, he finished a painting, and then kept vomiting blood, dying. He Let the only maid who waits on him call Old Ancestor Ying here.
It's a pity that at that time, everyone had forgotten that there was still a person living in that small courtyard that was closed all the year round, and Old Ancestor Ying didn't even know that he had an older brother.
When the servant girl forced her way into Old Ancestor Ying's courtyard, Ancestor Ying, who was eighteen years old at that time, knew that he had an older brother. When he heard that Ancestor Xuan was dying, he had no time to report to his parents, so he immediately followed that The servant girl came to the front of Patriarch Xuan.
At this moment, Patriarch Xuan was speechless, and just gestured to the painting on the table with his eyes. Patriarch Ying walked to the table in confusion, and immersed himself in the painting as soon as he saw it.
Soon, Grandfather Xuan's parents and Xiao Lao from the family all rushed here. They didn't come to see Grandfather Xuan, but were worried about Grandfather Ying. They thought of Grandfather Xuan, and came to reprimand Grandfather Xuan , don't delay Ancestor Ying's cultivation and affect Ancestor Ying. In their view, the farther Ancestor Ying is away from this waste material, the better.
but……
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Old Ancestor Ying standing in front of the table, thinking about the bed, and saw that Old Ancestor Xuan had no breath."
"Alas..." Xu Ziyan sighed a long time, with a trace of disappointment on his face.
Hearing Xu Ziyan's sigh, Ouyang Ba looked at Xu Ziyan, with a heavy and angry voice:
"Sect Master Xu guessed what?"
There is a trace of longing in Xu Ziyan's eyes: "presumably that ancestor Xuan is weak in body, but his understanding is unmatched. It took him eighteen years to comprehend a kind of exercise...
Do not! "
Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly showed splendor:
"Your Ouyang family is just a small family, and you probably don't have many skills, let alone top-level skills. And because of the aptitude of the ancestor Xuan, even if the Ouyang family's skills are slightly better, you can't get them. So what he created was not a technique, but a... Dao!"
Xu Ziyan's eyes are shining, and the yearning color in his eyes is more intense: "he has comprehended the way of heaven, but he is trapped in the lack of understanding of the exercises, so he can't create a complete exercise, and the way is indescribable , he couldn't write the way of heaven he wanted to tell, so he gathered all his comprehensions in one painting."
Speaking of this, Xu Ziyan sighed again: "He was originally weak, and he gathered the avenues of comprehension in one painting, exhausting his last trace of life. Such a peerless genius, I hate that Ziyan can't be the same as him era."
Ouyang Ba opened his eyes and looked at Xu Ziyan, his eyes were full of extreme shock. After a while, he let out a long breath, and said with admiration on his face:
"Sect Master Xu, only a peerless genius like you can understand a genius like Ancestor Xuan. The Ouyang family really overestimated their capabilities and dared to offend you. If you can really be in the same era as Ancestor Xuan... it is really desirable !"
The room fell silent, as if traveling through time and space at this moment, the two people in the room felt longing in their hearts.
