Chapter 256
As the strongest combat power of Jiuxiao Sect and the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator, the disappearance of Yuxu Zhenren has undoubtedly greatly reduced the strength of the sect.
However, this is not the most worrying thing.
In the eyes of the head of the sect and several high-level monks, the underground spiritual veins that gradually fade with the departure of the Yuxu Zhenren, and the increasingly decayed cities and villages around them, are even more worrying.
I don’t know if I was carrying some divine aura, or if the fortune of the Jiuxiao Sect was already over, the underground spiritual vein occupied by the Jiuxiao Sect became exhausted at an extraordinary speed in the more than a hundred years after the departure of Yuxu Zhenren.
Correspondingly, the dozen villages and towns protected by the Jiuxiao Sect also began to have natural disasters and man-made disasters. The annual harvest was less than that of the previous year, and gradually, people died of starvation.
Later, many people had to leave their hometowns and go to other places to make a living, which led to a sharp decline in the population of towns and villages, and the good seedlings of practice that sprouted like mushrooms after a rain were gone from then on.
The decline of Jiuxiao Sect came faster than everyone imagined.
Just as it emerged from a new force and became the first sect in the mainland in just a few hundred years, this darling, which was once favored by God, seemed to have been thrown into a corner overnight. The gods and Buddhas of the heavens refused to look at it again, and it grew old day by day.
However, even though the entire sect became dusty and unrecognizable, the Xiancui Peak that Master Yuxu personally set up back then was still surrounded by spiritual power. The starry sky waterfall was as beautiful as before, as if he had never left.
More than ten years later, the Jiuxiao Sect's reputation of "Nine Peaks and Peaks" was only one name left. The nine peaks were actually gone, and only the Xiancui Peak was still spiritual.
As a result, the entire Jiuxiao Sect formed a situation where a peak was the only one, and eight peaks stood up, and a mysterious legend began to spread inside and outside the sect.
That's about Yuxu Zhenren.
Many people are saying that Yuxu Zhenren is the son of the destiny of the Jiuxiao Sect. If he is there, the Jiuxiao Sect will prosper; if he goes there, the Jiuxiao Sect will perish.
Although most people were skeptical about this at the beginning, as the peaks were silent and the only thing that the Xiancui Peak had remained alone appeared, this legend became rampant, and the Jiuxiao Sect, which was already in a downturn, became more and more panicked. The disciples in the sect had no intention of practicing, and some of them were even thinking about choosing another branch.
Fortunately, there are three Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and many powerful Jindans have been trained. Most of the disciples are still interested in the sect, and the Jiuxiao Sect’s mountain protection formation is the strongest in the entire continent, and its strength cannot be underestimated, so no one dares to make a mistake.
However, the actual situation of the sect is still not optimistic.
The three Nascent Souls are all old and cannot protect the sect for long, but the growth of the younger generation still takes time. In this case, the existence of Yuxu True Man seems to be of great importance.
With his strait of being the Nascent Soul at the age of 100, if he was guarding the gate, the Jiuxiao Sect could stand for at least hundreds of years, and these times were enough for the younger generation to grow slowly.
"...The three brothers of Tianxuan received secret orders from the head of the mountain at that time to find the return of our seat."
When he said this, Xu Wuzi's expression was a little sighing, as if he was recalling the scene back then.
Su Yin looked at him and counted his breath and asked softly: "Do you remember the past?"
Xu Wuzi sighed and turned to look out the window.
The red flowers and white stamens by the pool and the butterflies flew together. His tone was desolate and desolate, as if the cold winter had arrived, and it made people feel cold in their hearts:
"I remembered it because I remembered it a little, but it still couldn't. I still have a vague shadow on Tianxuan and the others' faces. As for the head of the sect, I really don't remember it at all, alas--"
Su Yin was silent for a moment, and then asked: "So, how did Mr. Tianxuan and his fellow brothers come to Qianxiang Mountain?"
And why are the three brothers of Tianxuan now only him? Where are the others?
The latter's unfinished meanings are all in the previous question. Su Yin believes that Xu Wuzi can understand it.
The Void Son does understand.
So, he sighed for some time, and his expression became more and more gloomy. After a while, he said in a very low voice:
"Tianxuan and his team divided into three groups as soon as they got off the mountain and went to various places to find me. In the decades later, they just used paper cranes to communicate information.
At first, there will be news from the sect regularly, and the head of the sect often asks about their investigations, and sometimes orders the branches of the sects distributed everywhere to send letters.
But later, the news gradually became thinner, and the branches of Jiuxiao Sect were fewer and fewer. Many of the people who had once lived with the sect changed their sect. In the end, the news was flooded with news and no news anymore."
Xu Wuzi stood up, and his transparent body looked out the window, as if he didn't want Su Yin to see his expression anymore, only the low voice came with the wind:
"At that time, Tianxuan and the others had been looking for me for more than a hundred years. Seeing that there was no news from the sect, he couldn't let it go, so he disobeyed the death order of the leader of the sect's 'No one to go back to the mountain if he couldn't find anyone', and quietly rushed back to Jiuxiao Sect, but in the end..."
His voice suddenly choked, and his wide green sleeves trembled gently, like the wind blew.
However, how can the wind in the world shatter the sleeves of a broken soul?
His low voice was the best interpretation of the sect's end.
The bamboo house became quiet, and even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.
Su Yin knew that Xu Wuzi would not say anything further.
It is not only the secret of Jiuxiao Sect, but also the hidden pain in the hearts of Xu Wuzi and Tianxuan. Every mention is like uncovering the scar.
"Anyway, when Tianxuan returned, the Cuiling Star Waterfall was no longer there."
Xu Wuzi said slowly.
In just a few words, the rise and fall of the world is revealed.
Su Yin also sighed.
Although this is a story to her, for those who live in the story, this is their life.
After counting breaths, Xu Wuzi's voice rang again, but what he said was what happened next:
"Tianxuan vowed to avenge his master. After going down the mountain, he handed the news to Tianheng, Tianxin and the others, and then..."
"It's not you who can wait a moment." Su Yin interrupted him.
Perhaps she was too shocked, she didn't even bother to knock on the bamboo cup to the ground, and she raised her whole body three feet from her seat.
She heard it right, Tianxin?!
Tianxin Taoist?
Could it be that Taoist Tianxin is actually Mr. Tianxuan’s brother?!
What kind of fate is this? What kind of encounters and coincidences are it?
Su Yin suddenly felt unreal, and suddenly felt like a dream, as if everything was unreal.
So, she pinched Abai hard with her divine thoughts.
"Ao?"
Abai looked at Su Yin in confusion, not understanding why he was pinched.
So, isn't this a dream?
Did she really hear the name of the old friend Tianxin by a coincidence?
"What's wrong with you? Is there a problem?" Xu Wu looked up and down with confusion on his face.
Su Yin hurriedly calmed down and shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, you can continue."
Maybe it's just the same name. She thought.
Even if the two are the same person, we have to wait until all the information is collected and then discuss the others.
