Chapter 113
"Dad, I'm going out for a while..." Lan Ming left the living room while making a phone call. After a few 'um's, he hurriedly got in the car and wanted to leave the old house. Lan Ziqian chased him to the door to ask what the emergency was.
Lan Ming just said a few perfunctory words and drove away.
Lan Tianhong and Lan Zitao looked at each other. Lan Tianhong nodded knowingly and smiled. Since they dared to cause trouble at tomorrow's celebration, of course they had made corresponding preparations. If they couldn't outwit them, they would still
We will come up with a second plan to ensure everything is foolproof.
Every ten years, the Lan family will hold a large-scale ancestor worship ceremony in the Faxing Temple. Because it is a large-scale celebration that only happens once every ten years, the Lan family people have always attached great importance to this, and there are many rules and regulations.
There are also many.
As the acting patriarch, Lan Xin moved into the temple two days ago to arrange all matters related to celebrations and ancestor worship. He is quite familiar with this set of work procedures.
Because when Lan Zipeng was the patriarch, this very lucrative job was given to him. Later, when Lan Tianxing succeeded the patriarch, he was too lazy to bother with these trivial matters. Lan Xin was always in charge of it, so he
Still capable.
However, Lan Xin has always had an unspeakable worry in his heart. Many people are dissatisfied with his acting as the patriarch. Although there is no overt opposition, some people are secretly making plans for their own wealth and future, so Lan Xin
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to worship ancestors and gather momentum among the Lan clan.
With his ability, it would be difficult to lead the Lan family's children to go smoothly. He wanted to keep a complete Lan family and hand it back to Lan Tianxing when he came back, but Yi Lan
Judging from the current state of his home, this idea was a fantasy for him.
Even if he didn't covet wealth, money and power and wanted to resign, Lan Xin was in a dilemma during this period, gritting his teeth and persisting to maintain the situation in the face of adversity. The eldest young master of the Lan family gave him, his eldest brother, a gift before leaving.
Put it in the oven and simmer over low heat.
Although the situation was very difficult, he could not shirk Lan Tianxing's entrustment. So at this time, he seemed to be sitting in the position of the overlord with infinite glory, holding power and responding to everything, but he was under pressure and pressure in his heart.
The grievances are unimaginable to outsiders.
Lan Xiyue has been 'poisoned' since she was kidnapped and escaped from danger last time. Although she escaped after being rushed to the hospital, she seemed to have suffered a lot of physical and mental damage, and she has been staying at home to recuperate.
Fortunately, after this period of recuperation, Lan Xin has recovered well. Lan Xin originally wanted to let his daughter Lan Xiyue return to 'Lan's Jewelry' after worshiping her ancestors, so as to reflect her value and use her expertise to contribute to the economic development of Lan's family.
contribute.
Besides, such a young girl can't stay at home doing nothing all the time. Moreover, Lan Xiyue does have extraordinary qualities that others cannot hope for. Now the power of life and death of the Lan family is in his hands.
, he still needs to make appropriate use of this convenient condition.
Lan Xiyue has been accompanying her father Lan Xin in the past two days to prepare for the celebration in the Faxing Temple. She is very aware of the embarrassing situation her father Lan Xin is currently in, so she also wants to make some achievements to improve the status of their father and daughter in the family.
She and Lan Xin's goals are very consistent if we consider this alone.
Lan Xiyue personally supervised the disciples in the temple and checked all the details again to make sure there were no omissions before going back to rest. As soon as they left the main hall, it started to rain.
Lightning flashed across the gloomy night sky, exploding a long red fire snake in the valley, and in an instant heavy rain began to pour down.
"Huh?" Lan Xiyue stood under the eaves in front of the hall and looked up at the sky in the distance. It was still a sunny day with light wind and clear clouds at night, and there shouldn't be such a heavy rain in this season. This kind of abnormal
Does the celestial phenomenon represent or foreshadow something?
Gu Liang was so drunk that he was woken up by the thunder just as he fell asleep. He rubbed his dim eyes twice and climbed to the window to look outside. It was already raining heavily outside.
"This rain... started to fall so soon?" Gu Liang rolled up his loose monk robe a few times randomly, and quickly counted with the five fingers of his right hand and shook his head, "That's not right, this should be the rain in Chenshi, why?
The time has come down. Could it be that... the Ziwu opposition is a natural phenomenon? But what does this phenomenon... mean?"
Gu Liang looked at the sky outside the window and shook his head. The sky was covered with clouds and nothing could be seen except dark black. Even if he had the skill of stargazing, it seemed useless at this time. He reluctantly thought about it.
I didn't think of anything for a while. I drank too much and felt a little sleepy. I leaned on the bed and closed my eyes, trying to sleep for a while.
Just as Gu Liang closed his eyes and wanted to have a good dream, someone seemed to push him. After being drunk, Gu Liang was lying on the edge of the bed in a completely relaxed position. When someone pushed him, he fell to the floor. He didn't hear it this time.
Lei Sheng was also instantly awakened.
"Ziwu hedges, changing form with shadow... Oh no, this is bad!" Gu Liang felt that his mind went blank for a moment, he got up and opened the door and ran out. It was too late to hold an umbrella or put on a raincoat, Gu Liang went out.
After roughly identifying the direction, we rushed into the heavy rain without hesitation.
When the sky just started to rain, the lights in Cheng Nan's room were still on. However, he was not working against the clock with a carving knife. Instead, he was practicing soft-pen calligraphy to copy Buddhist scriptures. Ever since Lan Yun'er accidentally broke into his yard and disturbed him,
After killing him and causing him to cut his finger, Cheng Nan had some enlightenment and stopped spending all his time doing hard work.
Occasionally he would go out of the room to look at the scenery outside, go to the temple with the monks to chant sutras and worship Buddha, and from time to time he would hand-copy a few pages of sutras to cultivate his sentiments.
After doing this, he discovered that the real sculptor does not just sit in the studio every day and keep busy with his hands and eyes, but must be knowledgeable, open-minded, and use the power he draws to sense and summon, in order to give Li a sculpture.
He has been trying to inject soul and vitality into his works.
Suddenly there was an explosion in the courtyard, hitting the glass window, and lightning flashed across. The dagger covered by red cloth on the workbench in front of the window was only carved into a rudimentary form, and a 'dragon roar' followed the lightning.
The light bounced upward, as if it wanted to break through the glass window and fly out.
Cheng Nan was so frightened that his hand shook and the brush in his hand fell to the floor. Another bolt of lightning flashed outside the window as if it was very close. The dazzling light instantly penetrated the glass window and wrapped around the bullet like a long snake.
Wooden sword in mid-air.
"Huh? Ah..." Cheng Nan was so frightened that he kept stepping back, but after taking two steps back, he could see clearly what was going on. He rushed over to grab the wooden sword, but the wooden sword was caught by the electric light.
The entire blade of the sword was glowing with dazzling light.
Cheng Nan let go the moment he grabbed the hilt of the sword. Although the dagger was engraved with dragon patterns, it was still made of wood. It couldn't conduct heat and electricity like metal. How could it feel like it was being burned by fire?
Where is the hot hand? But there is no time to make those in-depth guesses at this time. No matter what, he has to snatch this thing back first!
Cheng Nan covered his left hand and looked at the burnt black patch of pain in his palm. He could only shake it hard a few times to temporarily ignore the fact that he was injured. He chased after him and wanted to grab the sword. He was not afraid of the pain.
, he was so young and endured it!
The wooden sword was entangled by the electric light and kept spinning and rolling in mid-air. The dazzling light made it difficult to look directly. Cheng Nan held his left hand in pain and felt a little timid. But he soon discovered that
