Chapter 1955 - 1956: Qin Lan, the Tianshan Child Elder!

Chapter 1955: Chapter 1956: Qin Lan, the Tianshan Child Elder!

Ye Xuan was abruptly dragged into the old house’s backyard by Xiahou Zhenshan.

The place was empty with no one around, extremely quiet.

Ye Xuan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, recalling the woman he had just seen in the old house, couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end, his scalp tingling.

Who did he see?

Qin Lan!!

It was Qin Lan, who had faded from his sight, and hadn’t appeared in front of Ye Xuan for a long time!!

Before coming to Hidden Dragon, Ye Xuan had casually sent Qin Lan a message, but hadn’t received a reply until now.

Ye Xuan thought that woman was just busy with teaching and nurturing, but never expected...

Qin Lan, was the ancestor of the Xiahou Family?

This is just too absurd!

Doesn’t make any sense!!

Ye Xuan couldn’t calm down for a long time.

While Xiahou Zhenshan checked around to ensure no one was eavesdropping, then looked at Ye Xuan, speaking solemnly: "Brother Ye Xuan, you just said... my family’s elder mother, is an old friend of yours, did you meet this old friend in East Sea?"

Ye Xuan nodded emphatically: "That’s right!"

Xiahou Zhenshan furrowed his brow, his expression serious: "Is her name Qin Lan?"

Ye Xuan widened his eyes: "Yes!"

My goodness... it’s confirmed!

It really is Qin Lan!!

Xiahou Zhenshan pursed his lips, remaining silent for a long time.

Ye Xuan stared at him blankly, feeling his mind blank, at this moment, there seemed no other choice but to wait for Xiahou Zhenshan to speak again.

What he saw today was simply astonishing!!

After a long time, Xiahou Zhenshan finally spoke again: "Brother Ye Xuan, it seems you and my Xiahou Family had a connection early on, the old friend you met in East Sea is indeed my family’s elder mother, the ancestor of the Xiahou Family."

Boom!

At this moment, Ye Xuan felt as if struck by lightning.

Even though he had suspected it for a long time, when such an outrageous fact was thoroughly affirmed... Who could withstand it!!

Ye Xuan shook his head, looking at Xiahou Zhenshan with astonishment: "Family Head of Xiahou, are you sure you’re not joking? The Qin Lan I know is just an ordinary mortal woman, and she doesn’t know martial arts, how could she be the ancestor of your Xiahou Family?"

"I can understand your feelings right now, but this is the truth." Xiahou Zhenshan nodded seriously, sighed and said: "Let me explain to you slowly..."

Therefore, Xiahou Zhenshan began to tell Ye Xuan a story.

About the story of the ancestor of the Xiahou Family.

The ancestor of the Xiahou Family, Qin Lan, is this year... 186 years old.

years old!!

At such an advanced age, how can she still have such a youthful appearance? And that flawless skin, that undrooping figure...

It turns out this is because Qin Lan practiced a forbidden technique that has even been lost in Hidden Dragon.

This forbidden technique has astonishing effects.

That is, those who practice this forbidden technique will revert to the appearance of a six-year-old overnight every thirty years, in an infinite cycle, youth eternally preserved, immortally enduring.

Just like Tianshan Tonglao in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

But there’s one difference from Tianshan Tonglao, which is after becoming a child again, the cultivator will temporarily lose memory, forgetting who they used to be or what they did, being almost like an ordinary child.

Only at the age of twenty-six will they regain their memory.

This is why such a miraculous martial art is referred to as a forbidden technique in the Hidden Dragon World.

Indeed, practicing this martial art can grant immortality, becoming a true old monster, with infinite cycles and continuously increasing power, almost unbeatable.

But the cycle required for this is just too lengthy.

Just like Qin Lan, she has gone through a total of six cycles, over 180 years, but the actual time dwelling in the Xiahou Family is only a mere sixty years.

For a Hidden Dragon Clan, this is almost fatal.

Because once the Xiahou Family encounters a calamity during the twenty years Qin Lan is absent, it would be like the sky falling, utterly beyond salvation.

Even more critical is, during the twenty years Qin Lan is dormant, she is no different from ordinary people, with no real power, and if attacked by enemies during this time, there would be no further cycle.

Therefore, whenever Qin Lan reaches the age of thirty-six, the Xiahou Family would, by all means, arrange her to the relatively safer Mortal World; the last cycle was arranged in Yanzi City with the Qin Family, but Qin Lan went to work in East Sea and met Ye Xuan...

This alone is enough to show that this forbidden technique is indeed unrivaled in the world, but the weaknesses are also extremely obvious. Given that almost all women love this forbidden technique, hundreds of years ago, all major forces in Hidden Dragon reached a consensus to designate this martial art as a forbidden technique, prohibiting anyone within the sect from practicing it.

Now, it has been lost.

Qin Lan is probably the last person to practice this martial art.

Also, because Qin Lan practiced the forbidden technique, if it were known, it would cause public outrage in Hidden Dragon, so only the family heads of each generation know this secret, not even Xiahou Zhenkong knows.

They only know the place where the ancestor resides is a forbidden area of the Xiahou Family, and Qin Lan rarely appears in the public eye, so her disappearance for twenty years can be well concealed as long as the Xiahou Family doesn’t encounter any disaster.

So far, no accident has occurred.

Ye Xuan listened to all of this, utterly astonished.

Suddenly, he felt puzzled: "That doesn’t make sense, since Qin Lan is 186 years old, how is she still your mother? Did she give birth to you at over a hundred years old? And your brother? That’s just too..."

"Actually, she’s not my biological mother, in fact, she has no offspring of her own, not even had any partners."

Xiahou Zhenshan sighed and said: "The reason I call her mother is merely to avoid raising suspicion among outsiders, and Xiahou Zhenkong is even unaware that our real mother went to live in seclusion shortly after giving birth to him."

Ye Xuan was taken aback: "To provide Qin Lan with a plausible disguise identity?"

"Yes, the ancestor needs a title in the Xiahou Family, otherwise she can’t deter external foes." Xiahou Zhenshan said with a wry smile.

Ye Xuan felt his mind muddled.

Pondering for a long time, he again wondered: "But that’s still illogical, Qin Lan being 186 years old, even in Hidden Dragon, that’s enough to span several generations?

She could well be the mother of your grandfather’s grandfather, and the elder generations even in Hidden Dragon would definitely know of her existence, now she becomes your mother, isn’t that too illogical?"
