"This … I didn't expect that it really exists."
Baili Rui was shocked. Then he immediately took out a silver needle and deftly took out the blood beads attached to the student's clothes.
He carefully placed the blood beads on the jade plate. Holding the light purple jade plate, he was a little fascinated by it.
"Teacher, you do know about it, but it may be a little different from the legend. I suspect that it may not be some kind of plant or animal. "
In fact, Lin Mengya was still not clear about the mystery of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass.
And she was almost sure that except for the pool in the cave on the snow mountain, the other places might also be a disguise.
Whether it was the strange belly of the mountain or the pool full of poison, she could almost be sure that there must be man-made traces.
In other words, the existence of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass was carefully cultivated by someone.
The purpose of the cultivation was unknown, and the person who cultivated it was also unknown.
But the change in her body was completely unknown, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"The Seven Poisons Sacred Grass is a rare thing in the world. It's reasonable that ordinary people like us don't know the inside story. But girl, do you know that anyone who has the chance to get the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass has a great mission? It's a secret of the Poison Sect. If you didn't get it, I wouldn't tell you, and it would only make you worry. "
Lin Mengya looked at her teacher in confusion. Although her teacher looked dispirited and listless, he was an unfathomable person.
Otherwise, with Yunzhu's shrewdness, how could he get away with it?
"I don't know. I got it by chance. There was no one there, so I don't know what mission it is."
She really knew nothing about these things except the jade ruler at the bottom of the pool and the map.
Baili Rui sighed when he saw his student's confusion.
There was a little sadness in his eyes.
"When I first saw you, I knew you were destined to be extraordinary. Well, you are Zuo Shuqing's daughter and Lin Muzhi's biological daughter. Maybe everything has its own destiny. The secret I've carried for decades must finally see the light of day again. "
There was relief and helplessness in her teacher's voice.
Lin Mengya's heart was beating fast. She had a feeling that what she had learned from her teacher today would change her fate.
However, some things were predestined. She couldn't avoid it, and neither could her teacher.
"Child, you must firmly remember everything I've told you today. Don't mention it to anyone. Because this secret concerns the entire world. "
Baili Rui's eyes were bright. Even though he was thin and old, at this moment, he exuded an unparalleled dignity and nobility.
It was a temperament that emanated from his bones. It was definitely not something that those mediocre people in the outside world could fake just by sticking their chests out and raising their noses to the sky.
For the first time, she realized that the little old man standing in front of her definitely had an extraordinary identity.
She nodded solemnly. She didn't even realize that her palms were covered in a thin layer of sweat.
"Apart from being a member of the Poison Sect, I, Baili Rui, am also one of the four founding elders of the Candle Dragon Cult. Your grandfather is also one of the other three founding elders. Moreover, he is the head of the four founding elders, and I'm the last one. "This … really caught her off guard.
She would never have thought that her teacher, who was chased by the Candle Dragon Cult and had nowhere to hide, was actually one of the four founding elders.
But what on earth had happened to make her teacher suffer?
Baili Rui laughed at himself until his shocking words made Lin Mengya unable to accept it for a while.
No matter how glorious the past was, it was just the past and could no longer count.
"The Candle Dragon Cult was not such an ambitious heretical sect. On the contrary, at the beginning of its establishment, it existed to protect something. We call this thing the Immortal City! "
The Immortal City! The Immortal City again!
Lin Mengya's shock now was indescribable.
Her uncle, who had disguised himself as Mr. Zhu, had once told her that the Immortal City was the goal that the Zuo family had been searching for for generations.
But she didn't expect that the Candle Dragon Cult actually existed to protect the Immortal City.
These things seemed complicated, but it sounded like they were all different ways to achieve the same goal.
"We don't know whether the Immortal City exists or not. But there are many secrets about the Candle Dragon Cult, and it can continue to this day because of the ability of the Immortal City. Once you get power, evil thoughts will grow. Twenty-five years ago, the previous leader of the Candle Dragon Cult suddenly died. And the candidates for the next leader also had various accidents within a year. In such a situation, the position of the leader should be temporarily taken over by the four founding elders until a new leader is elected. But there was an accident at this time. In addition to me and Senior Zuo, the other two founding elders strongly recommended a rising star to take over the position of the leader. The change of the Candle Dragon Cult began with this young man. "
The following plot was also a melodramatic power seizing drama that Lin Mengya had long been tired of watching.
In addition to the maternal family and the teacher's family, the other two families of the founding elders of the Candle Dragon Cult were also inherited from generation to generation.
But when one became a founding elder, he could no longer touch the position of the leader, which was a good way to balance.
Unexpectedly, the other two founding elders seemed to have some wishful thinking and recommended a newcomer at the same time.
Baili Rui and her grandfather naturally disagreed, but then a big event happened in the association. It was said that someone revealed that the former leader and several candidates were killed and framed.
The other two founding elders took the opportunity to propose that if the young man could find out the murderer, they would agree.
At that time, her grandfather was busy managing the Nation of Lintian, and her teacher was also young and impetuous at that time, so he agreed without thinking much.
Who would have thought that the results of the investigation would all point to the teacher and grandfather?
But the strange thing was that the young man stood his ground and forcibly suppressed the accusations against her grandfather and teacher in the association. He only said that if they voluntarily withdrew from the Candle Dragon Cult, he would not pursue this matter.
After many considerations, her teacher and grandfather both agreed.
But it was not over. After they withdrew for a year, the two founding elders suddenly disappeared.
It was said that they entered the Immortal City without permission and were punished by the ancestors.
Her grandfather was a shrewd person. He warned her teacher to find a place to hide.
Everything was caused by the young man, whose purpose was to control the entire Candle Dragon Cult.
As expected, after the two founding elders disappeared, there were constantly people who wanted to harm her teacher and grandfather. Fortunately, no one in the Candle Dragon Cult knew their hidden identities.
The Zuo family and the Baili family were actually a cover for them to hide their true identities.
In this way, except for those high-level members of the Candle Dragon Cult, no one knew that they were actually founding elders of the Candle Dragon Cult.
Her grandfather was his emperor at ease, and her teacher became the Saint of Poison.
The Candle Dragon Cult also fell into the hands of the young man, who was the current leader.
But to everyone's surprise, in the past 20 years, the Candle Dragon Cult changed and became an evil existence that committed all kinds of crimes.
When her teacher mentioned this matter, he sighed.
After all, the Candle Dragon Cult used to be his mission and responsibility.
After listening to her teacher, Lin Mengya frowned.
While her teacher was drinking water, she quickly put forward her thoughts.
"Since the Candle Dragon Cult is the guardian of the Immortal City, what is its purpose now? How could my mother be forced to death? "
Baili Rui took a deep look at Lin Mengya, and then shook his head helplessly.
"Alas, it's all fate! Girl, do you know why those people are searching for me and Senior Zuo, but they dare not kill us? Because the key to open the Immortal City is in our hands. And the current leader of the Candle Dragon Cult wants to open the Immortal City, take out the things in it, and try to control everyone! "
Key? But the Immortal City could only be opened with a key, right?
Who was right, her uncle or her teacher?
"To open the gate of the Immortal City, we need to collect four keys. The four keys are obviously a thousand-year-old immortal Gu, a thousand-year-old jade flower, a thousand-year-old jade ruler, and a thousand-year-old fire seed. But after we have these four keys, we need one person's blood to see the true face of the Immortal City. "
After saying that, her teacher's eyes fell on her.
It was only then that Lin Mengya realized what was going on. She widened her eyes and looked at her teacher.
"Is … is it my blood?"
Seeing her teacher nodding his head with difficulty, Lin Mengya felt that she was really unlucky.
She thought it was a good thing to get the Seven Poison Herb, but it turned out that she had become a time bomb.
Moreover, it was a bomb that was raised in captivity.
What was going on! Why did she have to catch up with it?
"That's why I said it was a coincidence. The blood of the Zuo family is cursed. Anyone who enters the Immortal City at will must be killed by the Zuo family. Otherwise, seven people of the Zuo family will die every five years until the Zuo family is exterminated or killed. But at the same time, the Lin family was actually the guardian of the Immortal City a long time ago. It was said that only the people of the Lin family could enter and leave the Immortal City at will without being punished by the ancestors. Later, the ancestors of the Lin family were afraid that others would covet this ability, so they played a trick and then hid their whereabouts. Later on, those who wanted to enter the Immortal City did not come back alive without exception. And the Seven Poison Herb was once the target of the Lin family's protection. So I guess that they could enter the Immortal City because of the Seven Poison Herb. Unfortunately, even if someone found the Seven Poison Herb, they did not know how to use it. So no one could enter the Immortal City. "
