Chapter 83 [Reverse the Tiangang!] (7000 words)

Chen Yan turned his head and saw Old Mrs. He staring at him with wide eyes.

After a few seconds, Mrs. He took a deep breath and said, "You, what you did just now was..."

Chen Yan remained calm: "The sword in the hand of a loving mother will chop the body of her enemy."

"..." Old Madam He rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm blind? This move of yours is clearly the Gu family's [Invisible Tribulation Slash]! I've also seen the Gu family's children use it in the domain world!"

As she spoke, Old Lady He frowned and looked at Chen Yan: "Strange... Where did you come from, fellow Daoist? The Ghost Clan Venerable is your grandmother, and yet you also know the Gu family's unique skills?"

Chen Yan looked at the old lady who was still bleeding from her mouth while she was talking, and sighed: "You should take care of your wound first. I don't have any medicine with me, do you have any?"

Old Madam He shook her head: "Don't worry, I won't die. This injury is caused by magic power. External injuries are easy to heal, but the damage to the vitality can only be slowly healed. This time it will probably take thirty to fifty years to recover."

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope I’m not going to die.

I'm still waiting for you to tell me about Chen Jue.

Don't end up like that kid sword cultivator who disappears halfway through his words.

Chen Yan went over to help Old Lady He up, and Old Lady He coughed up blood, then waved her hand to open the stone door. The two left the stone chamber and came to the passage outside.

Deep on the right side of the passage, there is a smaller stone door with a copper Bagua hanging on it.

Old Madam He stared at the copper Bagua for a few seconds before saying, "This is the alchemy room in the cave. Help me in to rest."

The room inside this stone door is much smaller. After entering, you can see an alchemy furnace about one meter high placed in the center. It looks like it is neither gold nor stone, and no one knows what it is made of.

Chen Yan had never seen such a thing before. He walked up to it and pretended to touch it. It felt warm to the touch. It felt like a natural heater, emitting heat slightly.

"This is the alchemy furnace I brought from the domain. My mentor practiced both alchemy and swordsmanship, but unfortunately I am not talented enough to master both of my mentor's unique skills. I only chose the path of swordsmanship, and I can't learn even one percent of my mentor's alchemy skills."

Old Madam He sighed and pointed at the alchemy furnace and said, "This thing is a treasure. You have helped me a lot today, so I will give it to you. With an elder like the Ghost Clan Venerable, you will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future. You should not waste this alchemy furnace in your hands."

Chen Yan stared at the alchemy furnace for a while, his face expressionless but a little worried in his heart.

How can I take such a big thing away?

It's not good to just move out like this, right?

I don't have any of those legendary magic weapons for cultivating immortals, nor do I have any storage magic tools or anything like that.

Fortunately, Mrs. He took a deep breath, pointed her hand at the alchemy furnace, and cast a spell. The alchemy furnace suddenly started spinning on the spot. After spinning seventeen or eighteen times, it became smaller and smaller, and finally became about the size of a thumb.

Old Mrs. He waved her hand, and the alchemy furnace flew into her hands, and she handed it to Chen Yan on the spot.

Chen Yan took it and felt that the thing in his hand was still emitting heat. Then he heard Mrs. He say, "Daoyou, do you see the row of stone cabinets by the wall? Go to the first grid on the left and see a gourd. Go and get it for me."

Chen Yan casually put the alchemy furnace into his arms, and sure enough, he saw the row of stone cabinets and stone drawers by the wall.

Walking over to the first box on the left, he saw an orange-yellow gourd emerge. He handed it to Old Lady He, who unscrewed the stopper and poured out two pitch-black pills from it.

Chen Yan squinted his eyes and looked at them. Using the Qi-gazing technique, he felt that there was a faint flow of vital energy on the two pills, and he could even smell a hint of medicinal fragrance.

Old Mrs. He thought about it, put the two pills into her mouth and swallowed them, then went to the corner of the room, found a stone platform, sat on it, crossed her legs and closed her eyes.

After a moment, Chen Yan felt that the old lady He's vitality was slightly recovering, and her originally pale face finally had some color.

Old Madam He opened her eyes and exhaled: "Fellow Daoist, I've been waiting for a long time. Come and sit down. I promised you that I will tell you everything you want to ask."

Chen Yan then walked over and found a stone platform in front of Old Lady He and sat down face to face with her.

Old Madam He thought for a moment and slowly said, "So that fellow Taoists can know, my original surname is 'You Su' and I am a descendant of the You Su clan, one of the four major clans of the fox clan in the domain. My original name is You Su Yi."

As she spoke, Old Lady He casually drew a few strokes on the slate, and her fingertips easily pierced the slate, and she wrote her name down.

There is Suyi...

Chen Yan's heart moved. What a weird name. The main thing is... it's quite an advantage!

Everyone who sees her has to call her auntie...

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Yan still bowed seriously: "It turns out that it is Fellow Daoist Su, I am honored!"

"The guy you just killed was from the Qingqiu White Fox clan, and she's my fellow disciple. Her name... never mind, she's dead, so let's not mention it." Old Madam He shook her head and said slowly, "Decades ago, we committed a serious crime in the domain, and our clan wouldn't tolerate us, so we worked together to escape and came to this world."

"Yeah." Chen Yan nodded without any expression on his face.

Old Madam He, also known as Su Yi, sighed softly: "Actually, you may not care about all this - well, you want to know about Chen Jue, I will tell you everything I know."

Only then did Chen Yan perk up!

"I told you before that I knew Chen Jue, and I didn't lie to you. I... did know him and had dealings with him." Old Madam He's eyes flickered, as if she was recalling something: "That was about a hundred years ago."

etc……

Over a hundred years ago?!

Chen Yan blinked.

My dear father...is not young anymore!

"My fox clan has been ruled by the demon clan venerables for generations. The four major clans, Qingqiu, Tushan, Yousu, and Chunhu, all serve under the domain venerables. According to the clan tradition, the best and most outstanding disciples will be sent to serve the venerables. Some serve under the demon venerables of the 'Ten Thousand Demons Platform'. Some are sent to garrison and serve.

When I was a child, I served under a demon master in the Wan Yao Terrace for eighteen years. Under the master's guidance, I became a disciple of a master who practiced both alchemy and swordsmanship.

After he became successful, he was transferred to Luoyan Town by his clan to serve as a leader of the demon army in the town.

Chen Yan listened calmly, secretly taking note of what the old fox said.

"Among the 'three platforms, eight passes and sixteen towns' in our domain, Luoyan Town is not too bad. It is considered a second-line town. There are usually no wars here, but the place is a bit desolate and remote.

I think it’s because I’m considered a talented descendant of the fox clan, and the clan’s great leaders took care of me, so I was sent to such a slightly more comfortable place.

It was in Luoyan Town that I met Chen Jue."

Three platforms, eight passes and sixteen towns!

This name made Chen Yan's heart move.

He had heard of some of the names before: the Prison Tower, the Mirror Tower, the Dragon Head Tower, the Sword Box Pass, the Iron Chain Pass... They should all be among the "Three Towers, Eight Passes and Sixteen Towns"!

"When I met Chen Jue, he was probably still very young. He was the deputy commander stationed in Luoyan Town at that time. In fact, I was his subordinate back then.

At that time, I just thought that such a young man was actually a deputy town commander, and I thought he must not be very capable. Then I heard that he was from the Chen family, and I thought that the Chen family was one of the family in the domain after all, and there was a venerable ancestor in the family. This kind of person is probably just a child of a noble family who was sent to gild himself.

Moreover, his behavior at that time made the entire Luoyan Town military feel daunted, and they really didn’t have much respect for him…”

When Chen Yan heard this, a question arose in his mind.

The Chen family...has a venerable ancestor!

But according to Gu Qingyi, the Chen family has become dilapidated and no one is left in the domain.

In a noble family with a respected ancestor, even if a young man like Chen Jue committed a serious mistake - he should be imprisoned, shot, or even imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for hundreds of years.

But there is still a venerable ancestor. Even if Chen Jue is gone, how can the Chen family be ruined?

But with such doubts in his mind, Chen Yan didn't dare to ask.

If you ask this question, your image will collapse.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan asked, "What kind of attitude did Chen Jue have in Luoyan Town? Did he make those people, including you, look down on him?"

You Su Yi shook his head: "Since you are going to be a town soldier, you will naturally have to endure hardships. Even though Luoyan Town is not a first-line town and life is a bit easier on weekdays, no one enjoys as much as he does."

After a pause, Su Yi said in a strange tone: "As the deputy commander of the town, he never goes to the town gate for inspection. Even the deployment under his jurisdiction is rarely seen twice a year. However, every season, people from the Chen family send fine wine and the best cultivation supplies, and deliver them to the town commander's mansion in carts.

On weekdays, he is not at the town hall most of the time. It is rumored that he sneaks out to travel and enjoy the scenery. Even if you go to the town commander's mansion to ask for a meeting, you won't find him there.

But Luoyan Town was in the second line anyway, and there were no wars on weekdays, so everyone just let him go. Even the town commander, Lord Jiang Yu, was very tolerant of him and never scolded him.

At that time, rumors spread among the town army that there was no war in Luoyan Town. If an enemy attacked, we could only rely on the town commander Jiang Yu, who was at the heavenly level, and the deputy town commander of the Chen family could not be relied on at all.

Later we realized...how ridiculous we were."

Su Yi's tone suddenly showed some melancholy, but in those cloudy eyes, there was a faint glimmer of light!

Then Su Yi was heard saying slowly in a tone that contained hidden excitement and agitation: "On the fourth day of the sixth month of the second year that I was stationed in Luoyan Town..."

When she said this, she suddenly took a deep breath, and it seemed that her breathing became faster, and it seemed that her fingers were trembling with excitement.

Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "June 4th, what happened that day?"

Su Yi said slowly, "On the fourth day of June, an evil spirit attacked. At that time, Lord Chen Jue was not in the town, and he went to travel somewhere. Only Lord Jiang Yu, the town commander, led us to the city to resist... In that battle, we suffered heavy losses, and even Lord Jiang Yu died in front of me."

Chen Yan frowned when he heard this.

Is someone coming to attack?

Sui? (fourth tone)

This was the first time that Chen Yan finally understood what the people in the domain were fighting against.

But because Su Yi narrated it orally, Chen Yan couldn't be sure which character this sui was.

He gently asked: "And then?"

Su Yi narrowed her eyes, but something almost fanatical was revealed in her eyes.

"Then, Master Chen Jue finally came back..."

The seriously injured old fox suddenly struggled to stand up from the stone platform!

She stretched out her shaking hand with excitement, and quickly turned one finger. There was a hissing sound on the wall of the stone chamber, and then she wrote a few lines of words on the wall through magic! !

"On the fourth day of June, an evil spirit invaded Luoyan Town. The town commander Jiang Yu died in a desperate battle, and the beacon tower was lost!

There was a deputy town commander named Chen Jue, who came up to the town commander's platform with a sword. With one strike of the sword, he killed more than 47,000 evil spirits!

The circumference is solved! "

The last vertical stroke of the word "解" is dragged down very long, as if the tip of the pen carries a fierce murderous intent and heroic spirit! !

Su Yi's eyes were filled with endless brilliance, and the expression on her face even had a bit of obsession and fanaticism. Faintly, her eyes seemed to see the scene of that day in the past...

·

Between the turbid heaven and earth, on the isolated guard platform, there were flames and smoke of war all around, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

That figure, wearing golden armor, with broken and bloody armor! He held a sword in one hand, standing on the beacon tower of the lonely city, and then slowly swung the sword!

With one strike of the sword, the light covered the sky and the earth. The countless figures in the wilderness, the figures clinging on the city walls like ants...under the light of the sword, they were reduced to ashes!

·

Chen Yan stared at the lines of words written in a flamboyant style on the wall with wide eyes...

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can't help but feel excited in my heart!

One man and one sword, they climbed the city walls and slew the enemies, killing more than 47,000! !

My dad... is quite awesome!

Thinking of this, he stared at the words on the wall again, and looked at the word "祟" for a long time.

It turns out to be this Sui...

What is this thing? Have people in the domain been fighting against this thing?

·

Su Yi suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the few words he had carved on the wall, and said: "These are the few words, not a single word is wrong. Because, this is the war report sent by the town after the war... At that time, the damage after the war was severe, and I was temporarily appointed as the town army clerk.

This battle report was written by me word by word at the time, I..."

At this point, You Suyi sighed: "I will never forget this in my life!"

Chen Yan silently looked at the words on the wall. After a while, he looked away: "In this case, this Chen Jue should be a great hero, right?"

You Suyi sighed: "If it were just this...he should have been a hero.

But later... after killing more than 47,000 enemies, he stood on the platform and did something that everyone could not believe..."

"What did he do?"

Su Yi's expression became strange. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "He pointed his sword at the sky and cursed the way of heaven."

Chen Yan: “…”

Cursing the way of heaven?

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

Chen Yan's eyes also became strange.

According to the records in the booklet, no matter what race or what practiced, all respected the Way of Heaven, and the ultimate pursuit was to achieve enlightenment through the vitality and luck of the Way of Heaven.

A practitioner pointed at the sky and cursed the way of heaven in public.

It was like a monk standing in the main hall of a temple, pointing at the statue of Buddha and cursing.

The opposite of Tiangang!

It's the opposite of Tian Gang! !

"This guy... is really brave!" Chen Yan couldn't help but swallow his saliva and muttered, then immediately asked: "What did he curse?"

Su Yi's expression was very interesting. She seemed to swallow her saliva before she said:

“He cursed that this war that had lasted for ten thousand years should not have existed at all.

He cursed bitterly, saying that the people in the domain should not have been allowed to die, generation after generation, on the garrison platform with countless lives lost in this great catastrophe!

He cursed bitterly, saying that the Heavenly Dao had set up a 'number of saints', with thirty-six venerables, four earthly venerables and two heavenly venerables, a total of forty-two saints... This rule is like taking off your pants to fart, it's a bullshit rule!

He cursed bitterly, because of this stupid rule set by the Heaven, countless geniuses, who are obviously the pride of heaven, are stuck below the Sainthood and waste their lives! They are obviously gifted geniuses, but because of the rule of Sainthood 42, they cannot become a Venerable Saint!

He cursed bitterly, saying that if it weren't for this shitty rule, there would have been hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of venerable saints emerging in the domain!

He cursed bitterly, if there were hundreds of Heavenly Lords, thousands of Earth Lords, and tens of thousands of Lords in the Domain Realm...then the evil spirits would have been annihilated long ago, and there would be no need to let so many lives be destroyed, and generations of people die on the platform..."

After hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but shout in his heart: WTF! !

This... is really something!

The man and the fox looked at each other for a while, and they both saw an emotion like fire in each other's eyes.

After a while, Su Yi coughed twice, turned his head and sighed slowly.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Just because of these few words... just because he cursed the Heavenly Dao in public, he became infamous?"

You Su Yi shook his head: "Not really."

She shook her head: "Scolding the Heavenly Dao in public will only make him receive mixed reviews. At most, people will think that he is unruly, arrogant, ignorant, and has a perverse temperament."

...That's right. Chen Yan nodded.

Not to mention the domain, even in this world, there are people with extreme ideas who will say things that seem out of line.

Whether what they say is right or wrong, there is never a shortage of such people in the world.

It doesn't seem necessary for a person to become infamous because of this. Moreover, Chen Jue has made such great contributions, so there is no way he would be condemned by everyone.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan asked: "What happened next? What happened?"

Su Yi shook her head and said, “That night, in the town commander’s mansion, Lord Chen Jue got very drunk.

I just found out that the fallen town commander Lord Jiang Yu was Lord Chen Jue's sworn brother. Lord Chen Jue was a member of the Chen family, and he could have gone to places like Mingjingtai where the sons of aristocratic families could get rich, but he chose to come to Luoyan Town, a remote place, because he had a good relationship with Lord Jiang Yu, and came here to guard the town with his brother.

Unexpectedly, when there was no war on weekdays, the city was suddenly attacked by the Su clan, which bypassed the first-line town in front and raided the second-line town... and Lord Chen Jue happened to be out traveling.

Master Chen Jue was drunk and said a lot of self-blaming words, and then... he swore an oath while drunk. He said..."

When Su Yi said this, he seemed a little hesitant, as if he was struggling with something.

Chen Yan frowned: "What did he say?"

The old fox finally sighed.

"He vowed that if he ever breaks through to become a saint, he will destroy the Heavenly Dao!!"

·

"hiss!!!"

Chen Yan took a breath, then stared at You Suyi with sharp eyes: "He made this oath, you..."

"I have never told anyone." You Su Yi shook his head and said decisively: "Master Chen Jue saved the lives of the entire city that day! Even if he said a few treasonous words, although I am a member of the fox clan, I know how to be grateful.

There were heavy casualties in the town at that time, and I was appointed as a clerk in the town commander's office, which gave me the opportunity to serve you, sir.

The master was drunk and I was the only one around him. I have not spoken a word to anyone in these years.

But now... the master should be long gone, so it's okay to tell you."

After a pause, Su Yi whispered in an even weirder tone:

"Besides, the words that Chen Jue cursed at the sky that day on the town platform...

Do you think that, for thousands of years, no one in the domain has ever thought about what he said?"

As he said that, You Suyi looked at Chen Yan and said, “You are a member of the Venerable’s family, and you are not very old, so I’m afraid you haven’t thought about it this way.

But... billions of lives in the domain, countless talented people from generation to generation who have practiced hard throughout their lives, have all been locked outside the gate of the Holy Throne.

Do you really think that no one has ever questioned or cursed you in their hearts? "

Chen Yan sighed softly and said nothing. After a while, he continued to ask: "How did Chen Jue become infamous? What big thing happened to him?"

"……I have no idea."

Su Yi's answer made Chen Yan's face change suddenly.

Anger was revealed on his face, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Old fox! We agreed on this! You also said that you knew about Chen Jue... You said that others only heard it from hearsay, and you knew Chen Jue and knew the most, so I was willing to help you do what you did today!

Now we come to the crucial point, and you tell me you don’t know?”

Su Yi said calmly: "Don't worry, Daoist friend. Although I don't know, I am not completely ignorant. I can still tell you some valuable information."

"...You say!" Chen Yan suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I served in Luoyan Town. After the war, the various tribes in the domain sent people to strengthen the garrison of the town, and Lord Chen Jue was also promoted to the town commander based on his merits. However, the Sui tribe never invaded again.

Later... Master Chen Jue was transferred away. After he left, I never saw Master Chen Jue again.

It was not until three years before I committed a serious crime in the domain and was captured and had nowhere to go. That is, three years before I escaped from the domain and came to this world, that I suddenly got news about Master Chen Jue.

That time, Master Chen Jue suddenly became famous all over the world, and his reputation was infamous. Everyone was saying that this proud son of the Chen family had committed a great crime and was full of evil!"

"He has committed many crimes. What specific crimes did he commit?" Chen Yan asked.

"Although I am a fox, I also know how to be grateful. I am grateful to Master Chen Jue for saving my life in the past. After hearing about him, I asked around.

Some said that he went crazy while practicing martial arts and massacred a local tribe, extracting their essence and blood for practicing martial arts.

Some said that he was rebellious and murdered his own family, killing all members of the Chen family and leaving the Chen family.

Some said that he was a town commander in a certain place, that he embezzled food supplies, and even killed the deputy general in the army to cover up his crimes.

Some people also said that he practiced evil methods, abducted women from noble families, used them as furnaces, and destroyed the lives of many women.

In short, the rumors were varied and bizarre, as if Lord Chen Jue had done all the evil deeds in the world.

I remember in my heart that Lord Chen Jue was guarding the town alone with only a sword on that day!

I remember the scene of the adult cursing in anger that day, and the look of sorrow and remorse when he got drunk...

I don't believe he would commit those crimes!

So I spent two full years traveling around the domain to investigate, trying to find out whether the crimes he had committed were true, and then..."

At this point, Su Yi shook his head and said, "I can't find a single one!"

Chen Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Can't find even one?"

"Um!"

Su Yi sneered and said, "They say he slaughtered living beings to extract their blood, but I can't find the victims! Which group was slaughtered by him? There is no evidence of this.

They said he was rebellious and murdered his own family, but the Chen family suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and no one in the family was left. I investigated the dismissed servants of the Chen family, but I learned that no elder in the Chen family had died suddenly, and there was no funeral.

But he suddenly dismissed all his clansmen and moved the entire family to Xiantai.

The venerable ancestor of the Chen family was also in seclusion in the immortal platform to comprehend the way of heaven and no longer showed up.

Although it is suspicious, it is absolutely not true that Chen Jue killed any elders in the clan.

They said he was a commander in a certain place, embezzled food and grain, and killed his deputy commander to silence him. But I also served in the army and had many comrades.

I asked around, and found out the names of all the town commanders in Santai, Baguan, and 16 towns in recent years, but there is no such person as Chen Jue! !

He had never been a town commander, so how could he embezzle food and even kill his deputy general?

As for practicing evil methods and kidnapping daughters of noble families... that's even more nonsense! I secretly investigated more than 20 noble families and dozens of wealthy clans in the domain, but I have never found any daughter or rich daughter of any family who has ever encountered such a thing.

If we can’t even find the victim, where does the crime come from?

But for some unknown reason, all the creatures in the domain poured all the dirty water on Chen Jue!

As for Lord Chen Jue, there was no news and he could never be found again.

I investigated for three full years and only found these. Later, I committed a serious crime and offended the powerful family of the fox clan. I could not stay there, so I fled the domain."

After hearing this, Chen Yan also frowned.

Su Yi said slowly: "But... although I can't find any clues, I have found the problem!"

(The New Year is over. I hope everyone can adjust their mentality after returning to work~

I didn’t take a single day off during the Spring Festival. I wrote 8,000 to 9,000 words every day, which is pretty hard work.)
