Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

Chapter 37
Under the dark night, the mountains and forests in the winter night showed a slightly darker color. Today, there are not many stars and the bright moon is hidden, but it is a good sky scene for killing people and burying corpses.

After the banquet, the sky was already dark. Fang Qingyuan had planned to stay at Liu's house for the whole night, but who would have expected that he would now be in the wilderness, trying to escape for his life.

Fang Qingyuan sat on Lao Bai's shoulders and let Lao Bai run. His attention was not on the pursuers at the moment, but on Huo Xiaolan who was still unconscious in front of him, which gave him a headache.

As an ordinary person, Huo Xiaolan survived the monk's fight, which is already rare. After Fang Qingyuan fed her the elixir issued by the sect, it was barely able to hang her life.

However, if Huo Xiaolan continued to bump like this, he might not be able to reach Tianmen Mountain, and he would die.

Huo Xiaolan is an important witness in the Liu family's baby theft case, so she cannot just die like this.

It was about baby stealing, and Fang Qingyuan couldn't be careless. If there was anything that violated the taboo of Dazhou Academy in this world, baby stealing would definitely rank among the top three.

The patriarchal system of Dazhou Academy stipulates that each sect and cultivation family has various rights to the mortals in its territory.

One of them is: If the leader of the sect belongs to someone who has the spiritual root of life and can become a monk, then the sect he belongs to has the sole and inalienable ownership of him.

For example, in the Liu family in Minshan, Fang Qingyuan had read the information left by the Wei family, which said that there were tens of thousands of mortals following the Liu family.

These tens of thousands of people thrived under the protection of the Liu family. If a child born to a couple happens to be able to practice cultivation, then this child will automatically become a backup monk of the Liu family.

Sects or families in other realms are not allowed to use any means to get this child into their own family, otherwise it will be a violation of the system of Dazhou Academy.

Once this kind of behavior is exposed, the consequences will be extremely serious. At the least, the culprit will be punished, and at the worst, the entire sect will be disbanded.

In the past, there were cases where the Nascent Soul Sect was executed for stealing infants, and the sect was forced to disband.

With such a terrible price, it stands to reason that no one would do this. However, baby theft cases have been repeatedly banned. Every few years, Dazhou Academy will find out a batch and announce it to the world to alert the world.

It was precisely because of the serious consequences that when Huo Xiaolan spat out the word 'baby stealing', Fang Qingyuan immediately asked Lao Bai for help.

The facts were just as Fang Qingyuan expected, Liu Siwu, who hadn't cared much before, also brazenly attacked Fang Qingyuan after hearing the word 'Baby Thief', without any scruples about Fang Qingyuan being a disciple of Yushou Mountain.

There is just one thing, Fang Qingyuan still can't figure it out, the sect steals babies for the sake of the sect's continuation, and the Liu family is just a family of monks, why do they want to steal babies?

Except for the eight super sects such as Yushoushan and Qiyun sect, other sects in this world, whether they are small sects with only foundations or large sects with Nascent Soul monks, cannot avoid a core problem, that is The continuation of the sect.

Because the Great Zhou Academy stipulates that for a newly opened sect, starting from the first head, the three generations of heads are all protected by the Great Zhou Academy, and other sects are not allowed to attack.

It is not a peaceful cause for a cultivator to compete with heaven and earth for longevity. Fighting is inevitable, and attacking is also common.

The big sects are okay, Nascent Soul monks can live for 500 years, and the three generations of sects can live a stable life for at least 2000 years.

What I fear most is the kind. The first head is Jindan, and the second one becomes the foundation building. As for the third one, there is no foundation building. The highest combat power in the entire sect is actually just a Practice Qi.

This kind of situation is by no means uncommon. For many sects, in the end, when the third generation head dies, the whole sect must be buried with him.

At this time, if you are the second-generation sect leader, and you see that there is no one in your sect who can be cultivated, and there is a genius who was just born in another territory, the kind of Jindan hopeful, wouldn't you be moved?
Thus, the baby theft case happened.

But why did the Liu family steal babies?

Whose baby was stolen?How many more were stolen?Is Liu Siwu the mastermind, or a minor character?What role did the Wei family play in the relocation?

A lot of questions came to Qingyuan's mind, making him frown, looking at Huo Xiaolan whose face was getting paler, Fang Qingyuan finally said:

"Old Bai, find a place to stop and take it easy."

Hearing Fang Qingyuan's order, Lao Bai turned around and ran towards the mountain beside him.

Liu Siwu was controlling the Dharma sword, and he was flying at the front. He was very calm on the surface, and he didn't feel angry at all for chasing Fang Qingyuan away.

Now he himself doesn't know what mood he is in now, remorse?

No, it's more of a pity, a pity that I can't see the day when the Liu family becomes the foundation family.

When Huo Xiaolan yelled those two words, everything was irreversible, and now he was chasing and killing the disciple of Yushoushan, relying more on instinct.

How did I get to this point?

Liu Siwu's thoughts began to diverge involuntarily, recalling that night ten years ago, the fire, crying, children, and endless escapes.

The situation on that day was similar to now, except that those who escaped back then became those who were hunted down.

Unknowingly, Liu Siwu's sword light slowed down. Seeing this, Liu Tongshu behind him hesitated for a moment, and summoned up his courage to step forward and ask:

"Uncle Siwu, is what Huo Xiaolan said true? You really stole."

Before Liu Tongshu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Siwu. He stared at Liu Tongshu and asked:
"Ten years ago, what was your cultivation?"

Liu Tongshu was at a loss, why did he ask this now, but when the patriarch spoke, he had no choice but to reply:
"Seven layers of Qi refining."

"It's been ten years. From the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training, there is still no hope of breaking through the ninth level of Qi training and finding opportunities for foundation building. Tongshu, you have disappointed me so much."

Liu Tongshu is the father of three children. When he heard this, his face turned red, and he still looked like a child who did something wrong. He said to Liu Siwu:
"The same book is dull, let you down."

But Liu Siwu shook his head, recalling:
"Your aptitude is not dull. You are almost a top-grade spiritual root. Back then, when you were asked to go to the Wei family's sect or the Tianshan other courtyard, you refused, saying that you wanted to study the way of our Liu family's talismans and create your own. a road.

At that time, some of us old men were reluctant to give such a good seedling to other sects, so we relented and left you, but now it seems that we chose the wrong path after all.

If you are in Yushoumen, you will not be in the late stage of Qi training, and one card will last for ten years. "

Liu Siwu became rambling, he actually started talking about the past on the way to kill Fang Qingyuan, as Liu Siwu's sword light became slower and slower, the disciples of the Liu clan were a little at a loss.

Suddenly, Liu Siwu seemed to have regained his senses. He was startled for a moment, then looked around, and after looking at the young Liu family monks in front of him, he flew towards Minshan without saying a word.

After Liu Siwu flew out, the rest of the monks looked at Liu Tongshu, and Liu Tongshu sighed, and said to the only monk in the late stage of Qi refining:
"Tongwen, it's fine for the two of us brothers to go, let the other juniors go back."

Invited by Liu Tongshu, Liu Tongwen nodded. After driving away the other juniors, the two of them drove the sword light together and flew into this winter night mountain forest.
