If Li Xiuchang remembers correctly, Senior Brother Chen Changsheng has only been around for more than two hundred years, but Wenwen, who is a thousand years old, was born in the Immortal Dust Sect.
And it is said that most of its thousand-year turtle life was spent in the Immortal Dust Sect.
The problem is already obvious.
It means that a thousand years ago, Senior Brother Chen Changsheng was already in the Immortal Dust Sect.
Senior Brother Chen Changsheng has lived in the Immortal Dust Sect for at least a thousand years!
"A thousand years ago, was Brother Turtle born in Eastern Geng District?" Li Xiuchang asked.
He could see that Little Turtle Wenwen was not that easy to fool, and he should have realized that he might be lying.
But it is still willing to say it, so of course Li Xiuchang is also willing to ask.
"Of course." Wenwen affirmed, "It's also Eastern Geng District No. 32. Chen the Turtle has a special liking for that house just because it is the most remote house in Eastern Geng District."
"Senior Brother Chen... what exactly is Cultivation Level?" Li Xiuchang asked after considering it.
"I didn't know." Wenwen wanted to roll his eyes, but his eyes were pure black with no whites.
"You don't understand Chen the Turtle's character yet? How could he let others know his depth? Even if I knew, it must be false information that he deliberately let me know."
Li Xiuchang thought it made sense, and stopped focusing the topic on Chen Changsheng, and asked instead, "Do you know the other senior brothers Eastern Geng District?"
"Those old guys, just the cook and his wife..." At this point, the little turtle suddenly stopped, "Okay, the old turtle came out to see me. Let's talk next time."
Li Xiuchang nodded knowingly, and Divine Sense, who guessed it might be Senior Brother Chen, swept over, got up and sent the little turtle out the door.
Before leaving, the little turtle turned his head and said, "I agreed to your previous proposal. I will teach you the formation when I have time in the future."
"Okay!" Li Xiuchang quickly agreed, and he could take the formation class for free again.
The little turtle's formation attainments are definitely not low, and he also masters the powerful secret method of preaching. He is definitely a good formation master.
After sending the little turtle away, Li Xiuchang still kept thinking about the clues he heard from the little turtle's mouth. They formed clues, but no matter how hard Li Xiuchang racked his brains, he couldn't connect them in series.
"The little turtle is only a thousand years old, but Senior Brother Chen may not be Immortal Dust Sect that came a thousand years ago, it may be even earlier."
"Senior Brother Chen lived at No. 32 Eastern Geng District a thousand years ago. He must have moved in as a foreign disciple. In other words, at least in the past thousand years, Senior Brother Chen has changed his identity and has been living at No. 32 Eastern Geng District."
"Since Senior Brother Chen is like this, I'm afraid the other neighbor brothers are similar."
However, it is still unknown what the purpose of these neighbor brothers is.
In order to confirm his guess, Li Xiuchang planned to check the information of Eastern Geng District's former living disciples.
Not everyone can read this information. Fortunately, there is Senior Brother Wang Long. Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang Long has worked at the outer door for many years and Reception Area still has all the connections.
That afternoon, Li Xiuchang obtained a document from Senior Brother Wang Long, which recorded the information of all the disciples who had stayed at Eastern Geng District in the past five thousand years.
Li Xiuchang Looking at it from the beginning, I found that Eastern Geng District five thousand years ago was no different from other outer-door residential areas, and the occupancy rate was as high as 89%.
The same was true four thousand years ago.
At that time, very few of the disciples who lived in Eastern Geng District entered the inner sect, and a small number of disciples became worshipers in the outer sect.
Of course, most of the disciples Cultivation Level did not advance fast enough to enter the inner sect, and their skill level never reached the third level. In the end, they died of old age at Eastern Geng District.
Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions of life. Even if you become an immortal, you will not live forever if you do not become an immortal.
In other words, even if they enter the inner sect or become worshipers in the outer sect, how many people can become immortals?
From the Li Xiuchang modern people's mentality, the most important thing is to live happily. Even if you can't become an immortal by cultivating in the Immortal Dust Sect, at least you will live a stable and down-to-earth life in this life. You don't have to worry and be looked down upon by others like many Rogue Cultivator.
And compared with the short life of mortals, monks can at least have a life span of hundreds or even thousands of years without being troubled by physical decline and disease.
It can be seen from this information that everything was normal in Eastern Geng District four to five thousand years ago, and there was no curse.
This normality began to be gradually broken more than two thousand years ago.
Li Xiuchang discovered that since more than two thousand years ago, the number of new disciples staying in Eastern Geng District has gradually decreased. Even if some new disciples move in, they will move out soon after.
As for why they moved out, this information does not reflect it, and Li Xiuchang has no way of finding the answer.
There are only a handful of new disciples who can stay at Eastern Geng District and become stable for a long time.
This resulted in Eastern Geng District getting fewer and fewer new people, leaving only some old people.
Some of these old people became worshippers, and some entered the inner gate.
The remaining elderly people have limited potential, and they are dying of old age in Eastern Geng District one after another, which means that the number of residents in Eastern Geng District is getting smaller and smaller.
After the last group of old people had left and died, Eastern Geng District had at least six people left.
At this time, the curse began. None of these six people entered the inner gate or became a worshiper, and they died one after another. The oldest was over four hundred years old, and the youngest was over one hundred years old.
During this period, new disciples occasionally moved in, but they either moved away quickly or stayed at Eastern Geng District until their death.
Gradually, rumors that Eastern Geng District was cursed began to spread, which directly led to a sharp decrease in the number of new disciples who moved in to Eastern Geng District. There were even very few disciples who moved in and moved out within a short time.
For the past two thousand years, the number of permanent disciples of Eastern Geng District has remained between three and six, and it did not exceed six at its peak.
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up, feeling like he had discovered something interesting.
He Divine Sense swept through the previous residents of No. 32 Eastern Geng District for more than two thousand years.
"Chen Changsheng, Chen Yanjie, Er Dongze, Chen Wanshou, Li Dongfang..."
Over the past two thousand years, most of the residents of Eastern Geng District No. 32 have lived relatively long lives. The shortest lived for more than two hundred years, and the longest lived for more than five hundred years. Therefore, they have not actually experienced several residents.
But most of these residents are named Chen.
"Aren't these all Senior Brother Chen Changsheng's vests?"
Li Xiuchang thinks it is very possible.
In the past two thousand years, Eastern Geng District No. 32 has been occupied most of the time, and the total time it has been vacant during this period may be less than a hundred years.
A similar situation is Eastern Geng District No. 1, which has been occupied for most of the past two thousand years, and most of the residents have the surname Zhang.
"It seems that most of the people who have lived in Eastern Geng District No. 1 are Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi's vests."
Occupancy in other houses is less regular.
After all, senior brothers Senior Brother Mo and Gui Wuyan are not like senior brothers Chen and Zhang.
Chen Changsheng and Zhang Wanzhi, one is low-key and the other is showy.
But Mo Tu and Gui Wuyan must have been hiding in Eastern Geng District wearing vests for the past two thousand years.
These clues discovered alone are enough to confirm Li Xiuchang's guess.
The neighboring brothers lived in Eastern Geng District more than 2,000 years ago. During this period, they kept changing their vests and staged dramas ranging from the initiation of new disciples to the end of their lives.
It's just because they don't want to enter the inner gate and don't want to worship at the outer gate.
Over time, it created the illusion that Eastern Geng District was cursed.
In fact, a few of them died and came back, came back and died again, and the cycle started over and over again.
"Based on the number of permanent residents of Eastern Geng District in recent years, there should be six of our neighbor brothers."
But Li Xiuchang, even including Lu Yang who just arrived recently, currently Eastern Geng District only has five neighbor brothers.
Who is the other person?
Li Xiuchang looked at the information again and found that for more than two thousand years, Eastern Geng District had always had a female disciple living there.
"So the last person is a senior sister?"
Over the past two thousand years, Eastern Geng District has not always maintained a population of six permanent residents. At least there were only three people living there.
So it's not surprising that one person is missing now.
Li Xiuchang sorted out the clues in his mind and finally understood a little more about the mysterious neighbor brothers.
This is a gang!
A gang of six, five men and one woman, is powerful and has a mysterious identity.
Regarding the backgrounds of several people, Li Xiuchang currently only knows that Senior Brother Mo is the demon cultivator of New Demonic Path, and senior brother Gui Wuyan once worked as Buddhist Cultivator for a period of time.
That's all.
"Next time I have a chance and see if I can get more information out of the little turtle's mouth."
At present, Little Turtle is the only way for Li Xiuchang to understand several senior brothers.
In addition, all Li Xiuchang can think of is to look up relevant information, such as looking up information about New Demonic Path's magic cultivator, to see if he can find a character matching Senior Brother Mo.
And senior brother Gui Wuyan abandoned Buddhism and followed Daoism, and is still a hexagram master. There should not be many people who meet these conditions.
Li Xiuchang destroyed the information in his hand and told Senior Brother Wang Long to keep the matter confidential.
Senior Brother Wang Long asked curiously, "Junior brother, what do you want these information for?"
"Nothing, just studying the curse of Eastern Geng District." Li Xiuchang said perfunctorily.
"Junior brother, do you also feel that you are trapped by a curse?" Wang Long said in shock.
"No, no, just preparing for a rainy day."
Wang Long felt a little relieved, but still advised Li Xiuchang to consider moving out of Eastern Geng District.
Li Xiuchang promised that he would consider it, but in fact he didn't take it seriously. After all, he now knew what the so-called curse was.
After chatting about this topic, Wang Long suddenly said mysteriously, "Junior brother, have you heard about the recent incident of Senior Brother Chu Ya?"
Wang Long is well-informed and likes to share gossip with Li Xiuchang. He is a person who loves to eat and is willing to share.
"Senior Brother Chu Ya What's going on?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.
"I heard that Senior Brother Chu Ya was attacked by someone in the sect a few days ago!"
Li Xiuchang's first reaction was disbelief. Senior Brother Chu Ya came from a distinguished family, and the Chu Family ancestor behind him was said to be one of the Immortal Dust Sect Grand Elder.
Who dares to do something to Senior Brother Chu Ya in the Immortal Dust Sect?
Tired of living a crooked life?
Let alone Senior Brother Chu Ya, even ordinary outer disciples have never heard of anyone being attacked in the sect. The security of the Immortal Dust Sect is still very good.
"It's true!" Wang Long vowed, "It is said that the weapon used by the attackers was a frying pan."
