A flying boat can carry up to two hundred people. If you want to send all the people of the Shangguan family away, you have to make at least two trips. However, Qin Yan does not have two sword techniques to use.
Qin Yan fell into deep thought. Fu Changling glanced at the side and thought about separating from Qin Yan again. He hurriedly wrote: "Send some people out first, then stabilize the barrier to protect the other group, lure Wushi Luo away, and then deal with them."
Aśvajira's primary goal is to kill its enemies and retrieve its own corpse. If Aśvajira can be converted, that's best. However, if he can't be converted, and Aśvajira flees with his enemies, Aśvajira will pursue them, giving the others a chance to escape.
So Qin Yan nodded and said to Yun Yu: "Take two hundred people first."
Yun Yu responded, and then said to everyone, "Everyone, divide into two groups of two hundred people and split into two sides."
After he finished speaking, no one moved. Yun Yu was stunned for a moment. He looked back at Qin Yan with a look of help. Qin Yan frowned. Shangguan Yuan smiled and stepped forward. He said hurriedly: "How about this, we will divide it according to blood relationship. The Shangguan family bloodline will stand out according to blood relationship, and the first two hundred will get on board!"
"Master Shangguan," Qin Yan said calmly. Everyone looked over, but Qin Yan's expression remained calm. "I'm saving people, not the Shangguan family."
Shangguan Yuan's face froze in place. Qin Yan stepped forward and looked at everyone. "Those without cultivation, those over fifty are considered old, and those under fifteen are considered young. The old, young, sick, disabled, and pregnant should stand in the front row, followed by women. Then, according to age, they will line up from youngest to oldest. The first two hundred will board the ship."
"Also," Fu Changling saw that the time was almost right. He stepped forward, looked at Madam Shangguan, smiled, and raised his hand to write in the air: "Wu Shi Luo will follow whoever he wants to kill. For safety reasons, those associated with Wu Shi Luo cannot board the ship. Madam, may I ask who can and cannot board?"
"lady!"
Shangguan Yuan became anxious when he saw Fu Changling's question. He turned to look at Qin Yan and said anxiously, "Master Qin, we are all innocent. We should all leave together. You can't leave others behind."
"Madam," Fu Changling stared at Madam Shangguan. He raised his hand and continued writing, "You still have three children. Miss Yuemin has been devoured by Wushiluo. If Wushiluo doesn't save her, it will be difficult for her to reincarnate."
"Master, the creature outside is evil. I don't know who its enemy is. But since it's an evil creature, Master, please suppress and expel it. Why let us innocent people die in vain?"
"Madam," Fu Changling continued to inquire, "Who can't leave?"
Madam Shangguan didn't say anything. She stared blankly at the golden words in the air, her eyes falling on the word "reincarnation".
After a long time, her lips trembled and she uttered two syllables silently.
Yun Yu noticed Madam Shangguan talking and hurried forward and asked, "Madam, who are you talking about?"
"I……"
"Xue Mei!" Shangguan Yuan turned around quickly when he heard Madam Shangguan's words and shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Me, and the master..." Mrs. Shangguan's voice trembled, as if she had mustered great courage.
"Xue Mei!" Shangguan Yuan rushed towards Madam Shangguan angrily, looking like he was about to attack her. Yun Yu stepped forward, raised his hand to stop Shangguan Yuan, and shouted, "Master Shangguan! Calm down."
"It's all our fault..."
Madam Shangguan raised her head in a daze and looked at the black fog outside the barrier.
In the black mist, blurry faces seemed to be watching them quietly.
Madam Shangguan's tears rolled down her cheeks. She closed her eyes and said quickly, "We saved their lives. Let them rest in peace."
"Xue Mei!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yuan suddenly went crazy. He pounced towards Xue Mei. Qin Yan glanced over. Yun Yu hurriedly threw Shangguan Yuan to the ground, swung the immortal rope in his sleeve, and tied Shangguan Yuan tightly.
"Brother," Yun Yu held down Shangguan Yuan, who was struggling on the ground, and looked up at Qin Yan and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Get people on board."
Qin Yan gave an order and then walked towards Madam Shangguan.
Fu Changling was standing not far from Madam Shangguan. Seeing Qin Yan approaching, he subconsciously took a step back. Qin Yan glanced at him without saying anything. He looked at Madam Shangguan and said, "Madam."
Madam Shangguan withdrew her gaze from outside the courtyard, wiped her tears, and did not dare to look at Shangguan Yuan. She said in a low voice, "Master."
"May I ask, Madam, if you know the origins of this Wushi Luo?"
When Madam Shangguan heard this, she pursed her lips, as if considering it. Fu Changling walked around behind Madam Shangguan and wrote two words behind her: "Children".
Madam Shangguan had her back to Fu Changling. Qin Yan glanced at the two words and then calmly withdrew his gaze. Fu Changling was unsure whether Qin Yan understood or not. He was about to continue explaining when he heard Qin Yan say, "If we know his origins, we can find his body and avenge him, and your child will be safe."
When Madam Shangguan heard the word "child," her eyes reddened. She sniffed and finally said, "I'll take you there."
Shangguan Yuan lay on the ground with his eyes wide open. He struggled desperately, and a "wuwu" sound came out from his mouth, which was blocked by Yunyu, as if to warn Madam Shangguan. Madam Shangguan turned her head away. She walked forward, grabbed Shangguan Mingyan's hand, and quickly gave him a few instructions. Then she walked back and said to Qin Yan, "Master Qin, let's go."
Qin Yan nodded. At this time, people had already boarded the flying boat one after another. The remaining one hundred people looked at Qin Yan with concern. Qin Yan was hesitating when he saw Fu Changling walked up with a smile and wrote with a righteous face: "I'm here, Qin Daoyou can rest assured."
When Fu Changling said this, he straightened his back and corrected his attitude, looking like a very reliable partner. But Qin Yan just glanced at him quickly and said, "You can't do it."
Fu Changling's smile froze, and then he heard Qin Yan say, "It's not possible just to establish the foundation."
It hurts my self-esteem.
When Fu Changling heard the word "no", he felt very angry. He hadn't heard anyone say this to him for many years. He took a deep breath, spread out his hands in front of Qin Yan, and quickly slashed his palms with the Qinggu Fan, and blood flowed from his palms.
He stretched out his hands, and Qin Yan frowned: "No need to hurt yourself."
Fu Changling: “…”
What self-harm? He wanted to let Qin Yan see his strength!
He took a deep breath, threw his hands to the side, and then quickly drew a talisman in the air.
The talisman stained with his blood flew to the side, circled in the air, and then suddenly formed another small barrier within the barrier.
This barrier is just big enough to accommodate more than a hundred people, and its stability is no less than the barrier built by Qin Yan. After all, Qin Yan is a sword cultivator, and things like barriers are something that they, the magic cultivators, are good at.
Fu Changling created a safe zone. He raised his hand to the side, bowed slightly, and made a "please look" gesture. Qin Yan looked over and after a careful look, he nodded: "Everyone stays inside, you follow me."
Fu Changling: “???”
That's not right. Shouldn't we think at this time that since he is so strong, we should let him stay and protect everyone?
He was a little confused. Why did Qin Yan keep him tied to his side?
When this thought came to mind, Fu Changling felt a little scared. He finally realized that something was wrong. No matter how he looked at it, this Qin Yan didn't seem to be coming to destroy the family. Instead, he seemed to be coming for him.
He didn't dare to jump to conclusions and could only continue to observe. Qin Yan watched everyone board the flying boat, handed the sword technique to Yun Yu, and then said, "Go out."
Yun Yu nodded, then took the sword technique and boarded the flying boat, driving it out. Everyone watched them rush out of the barrier. As soon as they left the barrier, black energy poured into it crazily. Qin Yan's long sword flew out of his hand and hit the crack. The sword light on the sword filled the barrier and unsealed it, and the long sword flew back into Qin Yan's hand. At this time, the black energy began to rush towards the flying boat, as if to wrap them up in black mist. However, at the moment when it enveloped them, a thunderbolt suddenly fell, and the sword wrapped in lightning instantly penetrated the black mist. The black mist let out a sharp scream, and the flying boat suddenly accelerated at that moment, turning into a ray of light and disappearing before everyone's eyes.
Yunyu managed to run away.
Fu Changling felt relieved. He looked at Qin Yan, who also seemed relieved. He turned and pointed at the barrier Fu Changling had created, saying to the others, "Go in there."
After arranging the ordinary people and Li Shi approaching, Qin Yan turned his head and looked at Shangguan Yuan on the ground, his pretty eyebrows frowned.
Fu Changling understood at a glance that Qin Yan disliked Shangguan Yuan and didn't want to carry him.
Fu Changling couldn't help but sigh. He didn't want to waste any more time, so he could only walk forward and pick up Shangguan Yuan, who was tied up tightly. He looked at Qin Yan, raised his chin, and signaled that they could go.
Qin Yan nodded and turned to look at Madam Shangguan. Madam Shangguan looked much calmer. She took the lantern from the servant, turned towards the backyard, and said to the two of them, "Let's go to the backyard."
Fu Changling carried Shangguan Yuan on his back, and walked side by side with Qin Yan behind Madam Shangguan. The lamp in Madam Shangguan's hand swayed gently in the wind. Her voice was hoarse as she spoke slowly, "Her body is in the secret room, and the enemy is also there."
"Who is the enemy?"
Qin Yan looked at Madam Shangguan's back and asked the question Fu Changling wanted to ask the most. He shook Shangguan Yuan on his shoulder like a coolie, and Shangguan Yuan whimpered twice.
Madam Shangguan glanced back at Shangguan Yuan. After a pause, she turned her head away, her eyes wandering elsewhere, and continued, "It's the ancestor of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Hong."
Shangguan Hong...
Fu Changling thought about it and slowly recalled that this person should be the Jindan cultivator from the Shangguan family whose spiritual roots were damaged.
"Who is he then?"
Qin Yan continued to inquire. Everyone knew that this "he" was referring to Wushi Luo, who was outside the barrier. Madam Shangguan said nothing. She walked ahead, holding the lamp, her frail body looking particularly thin in the cold wind. Just when they both thought she would not speak again, she suddenly said, "It's my daughter."
"daughter?"
Qin Yan's tone finally showed some emotion, and Fu Changling couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.
He knew that an evil spirit had come to the Shangguan family, but he didn't know that this evil spirit was actually the young lady of the Shangguan family?
The Shangguan family has a total of five legitimate children, a pair of twin sisters, Shangguan Yuemin and Shangguan Yuehua, and the remaining three sons, who have just boarded the flying boat and left.
"Her name is Yuehua."
When Mrs. Shangguan mentioned this name, there was a hint of guilt in her voice. Shangguan Yuan was still struggling, but after hearing this name, he finally stopped and stopped struggling.
"She and Yuemin are twins. Yuemin is the older sister and she is the younger sister. They were born in the year of Yichou. According to their birth dates, both were born on a yin month and yin day with water spiritual roots. However, Yuemin has dual water and wood spiritual roots, while Yuehua has pure water spiritual roots."
"They were my first children, and I loved them dearly. But during those years, our ancestor's golden elixir was damaged, and he was in decline. He couldn't protect the Shangguan family, and they suffered from bullying among the immortals. For the Shangguan family, our ancestor had to repair his golden elixir and restore his prestige. So we searched high and low for a way to repair his golden elixir. Finally, one day, our ancestor found a formation. Although this formation couldn't repair spiritual roots, it could replace them, purifying spiritual energy and sending it into our body."
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Yan frowned.
As everyone knows, the main function of spiritual roots is to draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth, purify it into a usable force for the adult body, and then store it in the golden elixir for human use. Now, a formation can actually have such a function?
"The Shangguan family spent a large amount of spirit stones to build this formation. After it was completed, the ancestor told us that this formation must have a human as the core, and the core of the formation must be a woman with water spirit roots born on a yin year, yin month and yin day."
At this point, Fu Changling and Qin Yan both understood. Qin Yan pursed his lips and said, "Using humans as a formation, does the Taoist sect of immortality actually have such a formation?"
"The Immortal Sect is just a name."
Madam Shangguan's expression was cold: "Back then, when Patriarch Lin used people to refine his meridians and Yue Sinan offered sacrifices to the heavens in the blood pond, weren't they all from the Xianmen Dao Sect?"
Qin Yan didn't say anything. After a long while, he continued, "What happened next?"
"Yuehua was only four years old at the time, and we gave her to our ancestor. I never saw her again, and he regained his ability to protect the family. Many people who came to the Shangguan family to cause trouble were dealt with by our ancestor, and they realized that although our ancestor's spiritual roots were damaged, the Shangguan family was not in decline. We lived in peace and stability for many years."
Madam Shangguan gazed into the distance, her eyes filled with guilt. "I always thought that child was dead. For so many years, I have been chanting scriptures for her, hoping that she could rest in peace. Until two years ago..."
"Two years ago?"
Qin Yan continued to ask questions. Madam Shangguan pursed her lips and nodded. "Two years ago, a woman suddenly broke into the villa. She had a very high level of cultivation. She rushed in and destroyed the ancestor's formation, and then left. The ancestor could no longer use the spirit gathering formation, and he couldn't find a water spirit root born on a yin year, yin month, and yin day to re-arrange the formation. So the ancestor looked everywhere for a new way, and he did find one. He met someone who gave him a technique. Since then, the ancestor has always asked us for people. We searched everywhere for him to find young people who were alone in Baishui Town, pretending to be missing and reporting them to the authorities."
"Who is that woman?"
Fu Changling felt something was amiss and subconsciously raised his hand to write a sentence: "Who gave you the technique?"
The author has something to say:
The clues will become clear after about 70,000 words. I know everyone is confused now.
The main reason is that Fu Changling is still a little confused.
