"I'm fine. Thank you both for your concern. Miss Long, if you have nothing to do, please stay here. I'll finish handling my father's affairs in a while and I want to go to Sichuan." If Shui Yueqing hadn't been in trouble, he might have been there.
Went there. I decided that no matter whether I could get the Jade Eye Elder Ring or not, I would go to Sichuan to see it.
Long Xiaoxu nodded slightly and said, "Are you going to Pangu Dojo?"
"Well, many things point to that place. Perhaps only by getting there can we unravel the truth of the whole thing." Now that we are involved, we must uncover the truth of the whole thing, find the Maochen Bead, and suppress the 'Ghost Cave'
'This can only be regarded as something that must be done. The most important thing is that the deeper I get into this matter, the more frightening I feel. My intuition tells me that there is probably a secret that can break the sky!
Xizi was very curious and asked: "Can I go with you?"
Looking at this carefree, simple and innocent girl, I smiled and said, "Just stay with Zijin. Wherever we go, we will have a narrow escape. Besides, if your family comes looking for you, at least you can still survive."
Found you."
"It is precisely because of the danger that I have to go with you. In critical moments, I can still contribute some of my strength! Moreover, I have also practiced martial arts. If my family members come looking for me, just ask Sister Zijin to talk to them.
"When Xizi heard that we were in danger, he became so heroic and heroic.
I smiled and felt speechless for a while. Just her two tricks, she really wanted to show something, but it was not enough to watch. While the three of them were talking, Dongfang Hu came in. I patted Xizi on the shoulder: "You guys go first
Go ahead and get busy, it won’t be too late to talk about this before you leave.”
"Little Fourth Master." Dongfang Hu came over and shouted. He waited until the second daughter walked away and then said: "The elders have made an appointment to conduct the assessment in Wuhan in seven days. I will take you there then.
"
I nodded and said "Yes": "Can I bring someone with me?"
Dongfang Hu shook his head: "It's hard to say, it depends on the content of the assessment. But no matter what, outsiders must not enter the venue."
"Okay, I understand." Touching the ring on his hand, he couldn't help but feel an invisible pressure in his heart. It felt a bit like a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time.
In the next few days, I stayed at home. Zijin's store had been completed and was being renovated. I didn't go out much during this time and stayed at home with me.
When my father passed the first seven days, the group of seven people set off in a hurry. In the end, they still couldn't resist Xizi and took her with them. From a geographical point of view, Wuhan is just what I want. Regardless of whether it works or not, I will directly
It’s much closer to Sichuan.
Early on the next morning, the seven people took the D3018 from Hongqiao and left Shanghai. They ran at a brisk speed for more than six hours. When they arrived at Wuhan Hankou Station, it was already 2:40 in the afternoon.
As soon as they got out of the station, they got into a Buick commercial vehicle. Half an hour later, everyone appeared on a hill called Tangzi Mountain. It seemed that this place should be regarded as a scenic spot, but there were no tourists this season. How many people on the mountain were there?
The cherry blossom tree now has only its bare trunk, which is even more desolate than the dead grass on the ground.
The car drove along the winding mountain road until it reached the parking lot halfway up the mountain. At this moment, most of the parking spaces in the parking lot were occupied. From the parking lot up, they couldn't enter, so the five of them had to find a small hotel to play cards for fun.
Before leaving, Da Zhuang did not forget to say: "Old Qian, call me if you have anything to do. Brother, even if you get a brick, you can fight your way out."
After listening to Da Zhuang's words, I felt warm in my heart. I patted his generous shoulder, nodded and left with Dongfang Hu. Dongfang Hu smiled and comforted me and said: "Little Fourth Master, don't worry, Yuyan."
We are all our own people in the tribe, and no matter what happens, as long as it does not violate tribal regulations, we can help you handle it."
I smiled: "Thank you, Brother Dongfang. By the way, I wonder if there are many people vying for this ring?"
Dongfang Hu nodded: "You must also know that the rights represented by this ring are not much weaker than those of the clan leader. There will naturally be many people fighting for it, but there are not many people who are truly determined to dedicate their lives to finding the Maochen Bead. After all,
It's too bitter. Thousands of years have passed, and the people of the tribe have long been accustomed to an ordinary life and integrated themselves into this colorful world."
I sighed: "Oh -, yes, now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is great. Let's live a good life. Who wants to fight all over the world and face zombie coffins all day long?"
"But there are still four people you need to be careful about. They are all very powerful." Dongfang Hu's expression suddenly turned serious when he mentioned these four people: "The first one is the Mo family in Xi'an. This is also a family of tomb robbers. About Mao Chenzhu.
matter, they also have some information in their hands. Furthermore, Beijing
The Xie family is a family of officials, and the whole family is engaged in archaeological work. The third person is from your hometown of Changsha. The Changsha Tu family, like the Mo family, is a bunch of out-and-out natives. The last one is from
The Li family in Guangdong is a big antique family, and they also have a group of thieves."
As expected, it was not easy to deal with. These four families were all veterans, but it was a pity that my father let me debut too late. The hill was not high, so the two of them reached the top of the hill while talking. There was a classical-style manor on the top of the hill, which was very large.
, similar to the farmhouse type venues often seen in Shanghai, except that it is much larger here.
After entering the manor, Dongfang Hu first took me to meet the clan leader and elders. All the important people in the tribe were here today. From this, we can see the importance of this ring.
The patriarch is about fifty years old, with a medium build, bright spirit, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and a high bridge of nose, and he looks like an official at first glance. Dongfang Hu secretly told me that the patriarch of our tribe turned out to be a provincial minister.
Cadres! I have never been exposed to leaders of this level since I was a child. When the clan leader asked me, I was still a little nervous. What do you think of provincial and ministerial level cadres? They are at the same level as the provincial governor, equivalent to the mayor of Shanghai!
"Xiaolong, come here." After greeting everyone, the clan leader waved to me and walked outside.
I hurriedly followed him and shouted somewhat timidly: "Chief."
"Yes. Call me Uncle Jiu." The clan leader turned to look at me and smiled, and then murmured with a heavy face: "The general's reputation is ruined in a hundred battles. Go to Heliang and look back thousands of miles, and your old friends will be gone forever. Yi
The water is rustling, the west wind is cold, and the people's clothes are like snow. A strong and strong man, but his tragic song has not been completed."
When I spoke, I didn’t quite understand what it meant. Seeing that the clan leader didn’t seem to want to ask me, could this be considered part of the assessment? I couldn’t help but feel a little panicked.
After a moment of silence, the clan leader said again: "Xiaolong, do you know what it means to choose Elder Jade Eyes' ring?"
I nodded: "Knowing it means that I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire tribe. It's up to me to escape the bad luck of more than 30,000 people."
"Okay! That's good." The patriarch patted my shoulder: "But there is a more important point you have forgotten. It also means that your life span will be greatly shortened. The corpse energy in the fight is very harmful to people.
It’s even bigger than the evil spirit. No one who often fights will die well. With your father’s physique, he originally lived longer than us, but the result, alas——"
I turned the ring on my finger, and my heart was suddenly filled with a firm belief: "My father wore this ring, and I will continue to wear it. Everyone is mortal, and the length of time is nothing to life itself.
The difference depends on what you do in your lifetime."
"Okay! Good boy!" The patriarch looked at me very excitedly: "Since ancient times, heroes have taken on many responsibilities. Judging from your character, Uncle Jiu strongly supports you to become the elder with jade eyes! Come on, kid, after worshiping the ancestors tomorrow morning
Let's start the competition. Get ready." The clan leader patted my shoulder hard again, and then walked towards the elders in front of me.
I nodded solemnly, looked at the strong back of the patriarch, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. In fact, what I just said was not my original intention, and there was still half of it left unsaid. For life, the most precious thing is your own life.
I admit that my spiritual cultivation has not yet reached the level of sacrificing oneself to benefit society, and I will not be a hero for the happiness of others. Of course, there is one exception. If losing one's life is an investment, then let it be a different matter.
Got it!
I went back to the house and walked around. Dongfang Hu took me to look at the four people mentioned earlier. Except for the Xie family in Beijing, who was about the same age as me, the other three families were all middle-aged people in their forties.
.One look at the traces left by the water on those faces, one knows that these people must have gone through many vicissitudes of life.
Before dawn the next day, everyone came to the yard early. In the cold winter, against the biting north wind, a group of people stood crowded together, silent and extremely serious.
The patriarch and several elders all put on strange attire. The clothes were colorful and seemed to be sewn together from pieces of cloth. They wore a tall hat on their head, and the brim of the hat was filled with various gold.
The silver jewelry is simply like a wizard from an ancient ethnic minority.
This is my first time to participate in ancestor worship. I have seen activities to worship the Yellow Emperor before, but speaking of it, it is quite similar. Soon a few young men carried out a large Eight Immortals table from the house. The Eight Immortals table was filled with
Apart from the food, of course the most important thing is the ancestors. Generally, people have memorial tablets and portraits of their ancestors.
But when I saw the ancestors enshrined on the Eight Immortals table, I suddenly felt surprised. There were many people who were as shocked as me, but they were basically junior people like me. Is this our ancestor? How could it be?
Is it a girl?! Or a fairy with eight stars on her chest!
The huge Eight Immortals table is not an ancestral tablet or portrait. It is actually a white marble statue of a girl. The girl stands tall and graceful. She is wearing a thin white gauze that seems to be dancing in the wind. Three thousand green silk hair is like a waterfall.
The top part of her hair is tied into a flying fairy bun. Coupled with her beautiful and refined face, she looks like a fairy who doesn’t eat fireworks from the world. The most special thing is that the girl’s breasts are even engraved with eight red dots, in a kind of way.
Arranged in a strange way.
What happened next was that the clan leader talked incessantly, sprinkled wine and threw dried fruits, and everyone even shared the eighteen plates of chicken on the table. They were not allowed to use chopsticks and had to behave while eating.
A bit more vicious. Many people are like this
The dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, were very civilized. But at this moment, they all put down their dignity, like wild beasts, swallowing the chicken in big mouthfuls. While I was eating, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. What kind of thing is this? Could it be that our ancestors have a grudge against chickens?
?
