Chapter 1090 The Old Man in the Ancestral Hall
The moment the door was opened, a strong Zen fragrance came out from inside. Xiaoyu, a nine-tailed fox demon wearing shabby linen clothes, was sitting on the futon, with his back to Yu Jizi. It seems that apart from cleaning the ancestor's ancestral hall every day, this old fox's biggest remaining job is to carve spiritual tablets. He holds the pitch black sharp knife in his old fingers. He seems to turn a blind eye to the jade machine and gently cuts a large piece of stone. Slow strokes on the wood, under her clothes
There were a lot of sawdust accumulated on the table, and it was obvious that she had been carving for a long time.
The door opened, the night wind blew in, and countless candlelights inside began to sway, so Yao Xiaoyu gently waved his sleeves, and the door closed again with a snap.
Yu Jizi was not surprised at all by the old man's Taoism. He walked to the sacred case and picked up three fine Zen incense, bowed respectfully three times to the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the past generations, and then inserted the Zen incense into the bronze incense burner.
The curls of green smoke swirled upwards, and then gradually disappeared into a layer of faint blue mist on the beams.
Yu Jizi looked at the green mist gathering on the beams, and seemed to be in a trance. After a while, he said: "Senior, you have been guarding the ancestral hall for many years. Is the layer of green smoke covering the beams the smell of incense? "
Yao Xiaoyu said hoarsely: "Maybe, you don't have to be envious. Sooner or later, you will be placed here and enjoy the incense offered by future generations of disciples day and night."
This sentence is a bit heartbreaking. There are probably only a few people in the world who dare to say this in front of the world's righteous leader.
Yu Jizi was not angry. As the leader of Cangyun, he naturally knew the origin of the old man in front of him.
There are two most important positions in Cangyun Sect. One is the Reincarnation Hall, which symbolizes the status of the ancient sect of Cangyun Sect, and the other is the Ancestral Hall that enshrines the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of past dynasties.
Ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach such an important place at will. If they didn't know this old man very well, the Cangyun heads of the past generations would not be able to hand over the ancestral hall to her with confidence.
Yu Jizi smiled bitterly and said: "I also want to have such a day. I hope that I will meet the ancestors of the past generations and not be scolded by them." Yao Xiaoyu chuckled and said: "You have taken care of Cangyun Sect over the years. With such prosperity, how could your ancestors scold you? I have been here for more than three thousand years and have met dozens of Cangyun sect leaders. To tell you what you want to hear, there are not many sect leaders who can compare with you. Those of you from Cangyun Sect back then
The founder, Cangyunzi, actually just founded the Cangyun Sect. When he died, there were less than 800 people inside and outside the Cangyun Sect. As for Cangyunzi's Taoism, he was not that high. He's only in middle age, far inferior to you. "
Yao Xiaoyu could comment or even curse Cang Yunzi at will, but Yu Jizi could not, so Yu Jizi did not answer the question.
He said: "My lifelong wish is to restore Cangyun and welcome back the Black Iron Order. I have worked hard for hundreds of years and my wish has been fulfilled more than half. If I can see the Black Iron Order being placed on this sacred case again in my lifetime, it will accept the acceptance of all generations. The Patriarch reviewed it, and I will die without regrets."
Yao Xiaoyu said softly: "Is the Xuantian Order really so important? Many people have died for a broken iron sign." Yu Jizi suddenly said with some excitement: "More than three hundred years ago, the Xuantian Sect Relying on their strong momentum, they convened a righteous alliance and forced our Cangyun Sect to hand over the Black Iron Order passed down by our ancestor. However, our Cangyun Sect could only say to the outside world that the Black Iron Order was lost and was accidentally picked up by a disciple of the Xuantian Sect. In fact, I am the fourth member of Cangyun Sect.
I have been humiliated and humiliated for thousands of years. If I don’t welcome Xuan Tie Order back, how can I face my ancestors? Senior, do you still remember when Senior Brother Yuan and I knelt here and made great wishes to our ancestors? "Yao Xiaoyu sighed and said, "How could you not remember? It's a pity that only three hundred years have passed, but the bones of Yuan and Qin have long since disappeared. You were so good friends back then, like brothers. Hey, I can't understand that if he and Banchu Shui died, they would die. It was their own fault, but you clearly knew that he
Ban Zhushui's son was wrongly accused by the Xuantian Sect back then. Why couldn't you leave him a bloodline? "
Over the years, no one has dared to mention Yuan Qin, Banzhu Shui, or Yuan Shaoqin in front of Yu Jizi. This is a taboo in Yu Jizi's heart. But Yao Xiaoyu didn't care. She knew Yuan Qin, Yun Yazi's disciples, and their qualifications and deeds were not inferior to Yu Jizi's. Not to mention Banzhu Shui, the owner of the previous generation's Chenchen Divine Sword was actually a peerless woman. Yuan Shaoqin inherited the excellent blood of the two of them, and he was very competitive when he was young.
Eyes, among his peers, even Gu Jianchi cannot compare with him. Unfortunately, after Hui Yiyao died, none of these three people ended well. As for the deaths of Yuan Qin and Ban Zhushui, they were entirely at their own fault. Yao Xiaoyu had no regrets at all. What she regretted was Yuan Shaoqin. This young man was supposed to be a man from the three realms of madness, but he ended up with a ruined reputation. It was wonderful.
Life has not yet begun, like a shooting star, it fell here before the age of forty. Yu Jizi sat on a yellow futon next to him. He looked at Yao Xiaoyu and said: "Senior, sometimes you can't help yourself in life, and you can't help yourself in death. Over the years, no one has dared to mention this matter in front of me, you I am a person. Brother Yuan and I are brothers. When the wise couple entrusted young Shaoqin to me before their death, I did not let them down. Even now, when Shaoqin is eighteen years old, I can still say this. I passed on the Heavenly Vault Divine Sword to him, intending to cultivate him as my successor to Cangyun a hundred years later. Even if the Xuantian Sect and other sects pressured me back then, I could withstand the pressure and keep Shaoqin as a leader. However, on the night before the public trial, someone secretly revealed to Shaoqin the reason for the death of his parents. Shaoqin was a lonely and arrogant man. Faced with such truth, he had no shame in living and wanted to die. Shaoqin is the son of Senior Brother Yuan.
Not much is known about the matter in Cangyun Sect. Over the years, I have also secretly traced who revealed the matter of his parents to him the night before the public trial. Unfortunately, no matter how I traced it, I couldn't find anything. "
Yao Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
Yu Jizi said: "I don't need to lie to you. I, Yu Jizi, want to kill someone. If I kill someone, I will kill him. If I kill someone wrong, I will kill him wrongly. I won't defend him."
Yao Xiaoyu suddenly nodded. He has known Yu Jizi for hundreds of years. It can be said that Yao Xiaoyu has watched Yu Jizi grow up step by step and has some understanding of Yu Jizi's temperament.
Suddenly, she thought of something and murmured: "Could it be him?"
Yu Jizi was startled and said: "What, senior, do you know something?" Yao Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "What can I, an old woman, know? These are your Cangyun Sect's family affairs and have nothing to do with me."
