Chapter 14 The Qin Cemetery
The three major families of the burning town, the Huo family, the Dong family and the Qin family, among which the Qin family was built in the shortest time, only more than 150 years in the town, and the history of the Huo family and the Dong family is said to be more than 300 years.
It is actually quite difficult for a family of more than 150 years to compete with a family of more than 300 years.
However, the Qin family has an advantage that the Huo family and the Dong family do not have, that is, the children who have the blood of the Qin family, when they are young, can enter the Qin family cemetery, where they can receive the residual essence of the ancestors' remains, which is the so-called "Qi Penetration".
The children of the Qin family who accept this ritual can further consolidate their foundation, and even more, they can break through the existing realm and increase their strength by leaps and bounds.
It is precisely because of the existence of "Qi Penetration" that the younger generation of the Qin family can always catch up with the footsteps of the young masters of the Huo family and the Dong family, and become one of the three major families in the burning town.
......
When night fell, torches lit up in the Qin family square, and the third generation of the Qin family stood neatly.
In front, Qin Zhengxing and the Great Elder stood side by side, scanning the group of young people, and then signaled to the Qin family deacons on both sides to distribute a brocade box to each of the young people in the square, and they didn't know what it contained.
In a moment, the patriarch Qin Zhengxing and the Great Elder led all the three generations of disciples out of the square, through the corridor of the inner courtyard, and a group of people came to the deepest part of the Qin family's backyard.
Ahead, there is a hundred-meter-high wall, built by the mountain, the wall is covered with three-inch steel rhombus, in the dim light, the dense steel rhombus is glowing with cold, it looks extremely sharp.
Qin Mo knew very well about this 100-meter-high wall, according to the records of the Qin family's classics, such a 100-meter-high wall was built to prevent the fierce beasts in the Wanqian Mountain from entering the inner courtyard and injuring the people in the family.
This is one purpose of this wall, and another purpose, is the gateway to the Qin family cemetery.
And the key to open this portal is in the hands of the patriarch and the great elder respectively, in the previous life, after the patriarch family declined, the reason why Qin Mo was safe and sound was because he held one of the keys.
It's a pity that in his previous life, until the destruction of the burning town, Qin Mo had never entered the Qin family cemetery once, which was his great regret all along.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Qin Zhengxing and the Great Elder walked to the wall, pressed it a few times, and two keyholes appeared on the wall. Then, the patriarch and the great elder each took out a stone key and inserted it into the keyhole.
On the hundred-meter-high wall, a portal appeared.
"Follow up, don't be left behind, no noise!"
Following behind the patriarch and the Great Elder, a group of young men entered the gate and walked through a dark passageway.
The field of vision was dim, and it was difficult to see things on both sides, but Qin Mo relied on "hearing is like seeing" to see this passage clearly. At the same time, a trace of doubt passed through his mind, and with the experience of his adventurous previous life, there were many strange things about this passage.
The surrounding walls were not smooth, there were traces of chopping and chiseling, Qin Mo couldn't help but wonder, the mountain body of Wanren Mountain was extremely solid, even if it was a strong man of the Nine Rank Martial Arts, it would be difficult to carve out a hundred-meter passage.
According to the records of the Qin family's classics, Qin Qishuo cultivated as the second stage of the Great Martial Master, and if he wants to dig out this passage thousands of meters long, it may take a lifetime to do it.
However, Qin Qishuo only came to Burning Town at the age of 30 to establish the Qin clan, and ten years later, that is, when he was 40 years old, he fought against the fourth-level demon beasts in Wanren Mountain and died in order to protect his clansmen.
How did this passage be dug out in the past ten years?
Thinking of this, Qin Mo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was too cranky, why bother with the past of the ancestors.
At this time, the grandfather and the great elder in front of him stopped, and a group of people had already passed through the passage and came to the exit at the other end.
WhewW......
The wind blew, making it almost unsteady to stand, and someone exclaimed in surprise, seeing the scene around him clearly.
At the exit, it is actually the middle of a cliff, which cannot reach the sky, and the mountain wind is cold and howling, making people feel cold all over the body.
Looking down, the mountain is full of fog, it is difficult to know the depth, and it is not known how far from the ground.
With a snap, someone tried to throw a stone, but it fell straight down, but there was no response for a long time.
It's more than a kilometer above the ground!
"You have to jump down from here, our Qin Clan Cemetery is down there. Grandpa Qin Zhengxing said slowly.
The three generations of disciples present were shocked, this place was at least a kilometer away from the ground, and the mountain wind was cold, and jumping off was a sure death.
At such a distance, not to mention the samurai ninth dan, even if it is the cultivation of the ninth dan of the martial artist, it is very likely to fall and be seriously injured.
Some of the people are slanderous and want us to jump, Patriarch, try it first and see if we can come back in good condition.
"Patriarch, you're not joking, are you?" someone mustered up courage and asked in a whisper.
Qin Zhengxing glared at him and said in a deep voice: "The 'Qi Penetration' ceremony, once in ten years, is so important, I will joke with you?"
The faces of a group of young people turned pale, and the Great Elder beside him, who had been silent, spoke, "If you jump like this, of course you will definitely die, open your brocade box." ”
Everyone took out the brocade box and opened it to see that there was a bead in the box, which was not gold or wood, and I didn't know what kind of material it was made of, and it was heavy to start with.
"This is the tomb bead, which has been handed down by the first generation of patriarchs, and if you hold this bead, you can reach the cemetery safely. The Grand Elder explained, looking around, "Which of you will come first?"
A group of people looked at each other, hesitated in their hearts, from here to the ground, more than a kilometer, if the tomb beads are useless, wouldn't it be dead and dead.
"It's a pity, you are the number one child of the third generation, and if you want to play an exemplary role, you come first. The Great Elder said slowly.
Qin Xi stepped out, his face was like jade, his figure was straight, he stood out in the crowd, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Holding the tomb bead in his hand, a whistling sound came from Qin Xi's body, and a stream of transparent true qi gushed out, like a layer of light veil, covering his body, and lining up all the mountain winds around him.
"True Qi is released and spreads all over the body, this is the cultivation of the fourth stage of the samurai!" someone exclaimed.
Not long ago, Qin Xi's strength was obviously a third-stage warrior, but he didn't expect that in a short period of time, he had already broken through and reached the realm of a fourth-stage warrior.
For a while, the expressions of the three generations of disciples present were complicated, and some of them secretly shook their heads and sighed, Qin Xi's progress was too fast, making it beyond their reach and difficult to catch up.
On the side, Qin Zhengxing's face was expressionless, and he was actually quite surprised in his heart, Qin Zhengxing's strength was really unexpected.
As for Qin Mo in the crowd, no one paid attention to him, and not many people would compare him with Qin Xi. After all, in eight years, the difference in strength between the two is indeed huge. The difference of three levels of true qi cultivation is not something that can be made up for in one or two years.
"Okay, sorry, you're the first to come. The Great Elder smiled and nodded.
Qin Cheng nodded slightly, jumped out, fell downward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, the remaining three generations of disciples no longer hesitated, and jumped off the cliff one after another, accompanied by bursts of exclamations, and fell down one by one.
Qin Mo hugged the little girl, and the two jumped out together.
In a moment, at the exit, only Qin Zhengxing and the Great Elder were left, and the atmosphere immediately froze.
The Great Elder suddenly spoke: "'Qi Penetration' ceremony, the three generations of disciples who enter the cemetery, according to each person's true qi cultivation, the tomb beads will lead them to the corresponding cemetery. The stronger the person, the stronger the 'power seed' in the remains of the ancestors, and there is no doubt that the regret will definitely get the strongest 'power seed'. ”
Qin Zhengxing sneered twice and was silent.
Raising his head, the Great Elder said indifferently: "After seven days, Xi'er will return from the cemetery, and his strength will definitely be able to go further." With me in the elder line, the prestige of our family in the Qin family will far exceed that of your patriarch line, which is as stable as a rock and unmatched. Qin Zhengxing, I will give you one last chance now, I hope you will accept the current affairs. ”
"Oh, one last chance? Qin Zhengxing didn't laugh angrily.
The Great Elder said in a deep voice, "After the 'Qi Penetrating Body' ceremony is over, according to the clan rules, a clan meeting will be held within half a month to test the cultivation progress of the three generations of disciples. Qin Zhengxing, if you kneel in front of me at the clan meeting, admit that for decades, you have forcibly occupied the position of the patriarch, and you have done nothing, and you are at fault of the corpse. And give up the position of patriarch to my son Qin Yide in public, and I can open up the net to the patriarch. ”
"Hahaha......"
Hearing this, Qin Zhengxing looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice shaking the wind, "Great Elder, do you treat me as a three-year-old child? If you can keep your word, back then, according to the seniority, the position of patriarch would not be my turn. You don't have to talk nonsense, if you have any means, just use it. ”
As he spoke, Qin Zhengxing snorted angrily and turned to leave.
Looking at Qin Zhengxing's back, the Great Elder squinted his eyes, and a serpent-like treacherous light flashed in his eyes.
