Seeing Tong Yan's admiration, the old ancestor smiled slightly: "I know what you're thinking, a bloodline like ours does have a chance to reach heights that ordinary people can't reach. But in the same way, people like us often have many hardships and unpredictable lives. I still remember when I was young, I met a high monk who told me that I would have 9981 tribulations in my lifetime, and this so-called number is actually just a general term, that is, I will encounter unimaginable calamities in my lifetime. Every calamity is likely to wipe me out. In fact, it is exactly what he said. I did close to dying countless times, but I managed to survive in the end. But this journey, to this day, I still secretly fear. ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan frowned and said, "Old Ancestor, do you mean that my life is also destined to be bumpy?" If you can't survive it, you will have to destroy your body and soul, and you will never be able to live forever? ”

The old ancestor nodded and said, "That's right, although it's a little cruel, but this is your life and mine." Who told us to have the strongest bloodline of the Wu family? ”

The strongest bloodline of the Wu family? Tong Yan was still excited, but the words of the old ancestor were like pouring a bucket of ice water on his head, and instead of looking forward to it, he was a little disheartened.

"Ancestor, what do you say we are lucky? Or is it unlucky? ”

When the old ancestor heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "Of course it's lucky, how can it be unlucky? You must know that among the millions of Wu family members, there is only one strongest bloodline, which is something that others can't ask for. Of course, although it may be a bit hard to live in this life, it is impossible for a person to live a peaceful life, and more hardships are not necessarily a bad thing. Are you right? ”

Tong Yan pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Ancestor, you are right. It's true that I have too many concerns, thank you for telling me so many things. I am honored, honored to be here, honored to know my family heritage, and even more honored to be a part of this Wu family. I think that in the future, I will definitely cherish my life more, and I want to become a person like you, guarding our Wu family and guarding the people in the world. ”

Hearing this, the old ancestor nodded with satisfaction.

For the next few days, Tong Yan lived in the main hall. A lot of food was hoarded here, and after eating and drinking enough every day, he chatted with his ancestors.

After getting along for a few days, the two are like grandparents and grandchildren, not only getting along well, but also talking about endless topics.

Tong Yan told his ancestors about his experiences and experiences in his life, and the ancestors also told him the history of the Wu family and the things about this world and the old mansion of the Wu family.

The firebird above the Wu family's old mansion is indeed a phoenix, and it is the famous Vermilion Bird family. The reason why this Vermilion Bird was imprisoned in the shelter of the Wu family's old mansion was not because of the Wu family's selfishness and cruelty. Instead, they were punishing the Suzaku who had made a heinous mistake on behalf of the heavens.

What kind of great sin did this Suzaku commit?

It turned out that this incident was related to the legendary Battle of the Four Elephants. The Vermilion Bird is one of the four elephant mythical beasts and is the god of the southern stars. However, thousands of years ago, with the growth of the Suzaku clan and the expansion of selfishness, they began to covet the false name of the head of the four elephants.

As we all know, the Qinglong clan is the head of the four elephant beasts, and it is also the guardian god of the East. The Vermilion Bird Clan was unwilling to obey the orders of the Qinglong Clan all the time, so they colluded with the White Tiger Clan to declare war on the Qinglong Clan, forcing the Qinglong Clan to give up the position of the head of the Four Elephants and become the last of the Four Elephants.

Dragons are a proud race, and the Green Dragon Race is the proudest existence among the dragon races. The title of the head of the four elephants is bestowed by God, and they will naturally not be willing to give it up.

In this way, an almost inevitable war of the four elephants broke out.

At first, with the power of the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger Clan, it was not enough to completely defeat the Qinglong Clan. But what I didn't expect was that the four fierce beasts also joined the battle.

With the help of the four fierce beasts, the crusade army was overwhelming, not only capturing the shelter of the Qinglong clan, but also killing all the clansmen of the Qinglong clan.

The battle was outrageous, and the Qinglong clan fought almost to the last moment, just because they had a heart that refused to give in. But it is a pity that although the Qinglong clan maintained the dignity of the dragon clan as the head of the four elephants, and fought to the last second, because of the disparity in strength, they were outnumbered, and finally the whole clan was wiped out, and no one was spared.

It may be that the heavenly realm can't bear the destruction of the Qinglong clan, so he saved a princess of the Qinglong clan. The princess fled all the way to the Netherworld, but she still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Suzaku clan.

However, when she was dying, she gave birth to a dragon egg, which was later obtained by the Jizo King Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva of Jizo was sympathetic to the plight of the Blue Dragons, so he hatched the dragon egg and hid the baby dragon inside in the world through the method of reincarnation.

The Qinglong clan finally retained the last trace of blood, but if they want to revive the former prosperity of the Qinglong clan, there is no possibility.

For their own selfish desires and for the sake of fame, the Vermilion Bird clan brutally killed tens of thousands of green dragons. Cangtian finally got angry, and not only condemned the Suzaku clan, but also selected Skywalker from the human world to punish the murderer.

Coincidentally, an ancestor of the Wu family was honored to become a Skywalker. Together with the other Skywalkers, and with the help of the gods from all sides, he finally made it to the Vermilion Bird Clan's lair in one fell swoop. And captured the Suzaku clan patriarch at that time, intending to use his blood to sacrifice the undead of the Qinglong clan. But it's a pity that Suzaku is a phoenix and has an immortal body. Either way, it can be reborn.

The ancestor of the Wu family saw that he could not really punish the murderer severely, so he came up with a way to seal it. Since then, there has been an extra firebird in the sky above the Wu family's underground palace. The firebird's whole body was bound by the Xuantie chain and sealed with the Bagua Xuantian Formation.

The ancestors of the Wu family once made a grand wish, the descendants of the Wu family should guard this vermilion bird for ten thousand years, when it will be ten thousand years, and when will this firebird be free. And during these 10,000 years of detention, the Wu family would absorb the blood of the Vermilion Bird from its body every once in a while, firstly to punish it, and secondly, to take or refine the blood of the Vermilion Bird obtained, and over time, the blood of the Wu family also underwent abnormal changes. As soon as you encounter the blood of the Suzaku, it will glow red.

The above is the story between the Wu family and the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird locked in the air overhead, and the Wu family has guarded this Vermilion Bird for generations, which has continued to this day.

However, there is one more thing that makes Tong Yan feel incredible, and that is about the space he is in at the moment.

How did this space come to be? What else is the secret of the Wu family? We'll talk about it in the next chapter!
