Everyone nodded and followed Zhang Chen towards the hall of the mansion.
An altar has been set up in the empty space of the mansion hall.
On the altar stood a coffin, surrounded by two rows of wreaths and incense candles.
All of this was prepared in accordance with ancient customs. Zhang Xiao once told Zhang Chen that before he died, he said that after his death, he hoped to be buried in the Zhang family's ancestral grave.
Zhang Xiao's body has been transported to this mansion by servants of the Zhang family.
Zhang Chen's mouth twitched, he raised his legs, walked into the hall, and came to the coffin.
"father……"
Zhang Chen knelt down next to the coffin, tears flowing down his cheeks and dripping on the coffin.
"My son! It was my mother who couldn't handle you. She failed to protect the Zhang family and even killed you." The middle-aged woman also walked into the hall crying.
Zhang Chen's eyes were red. He wiped away his tears with his hands, stood up slowly, and walked towards the altar. Next to the altar, there were five jade tablets.
These five jade tablets are the jade tablets of the ancestors of the Zhang family!
Zhang Chen must take back these five jade tokens!
He believes that his grandfather will definitely bless the Zhang family!
Zhang Chen took all five jade tablets and put them in his arms. He left here with a firm look on his face.
Just now, the middle-aged woman did not tell Zhang Chen about the demise of the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Chen has grown up, in the eyes of middle-aged women, Zhang Chen will always be a child, a child who needs their protection.
After leaving the Zhang family, Zhang Chen returned to his home.
When he got home, it was already late at night. Zhang Chen fell on the bed exhausted and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, a knock on the door reached Zhang Chen's ears.
Zhang Chen opened his sleepy eyes, got up and opened the door, and a strange man came into view.
The man looked about thirty, dressed simply, with dark skin and a strong build. He had a hoe on his shoulder. He was obviously a villager. He was looking at Zhang Chen with a smile and said, "Are you Zhang Chen?"
"I am." Zhang Chen nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, it's okay. I saw you yesterday and you are quite handsome, so I came over this morning to say hello and help with the work." The man grinned.
Zhang Chen was stunned and asked: "Uncle, where is my home?"
"Zhang Family Ancestral Hall! Come over quickly, your parents should be waiting impatiently." After saying this, the man left the place in a hurry. He seemed to be afraid of wasting Zhang Chen's time.
Zhang Chen scratched his head, a little confused, but he knew very well that what he lacked most now was labor force, so he immediately walked out of the house and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Arriving at the ancestral hall, Zhang Chen found his parents at a glance!
Father Zhang and Mother Zhang were sitting on the futon, looking sad. Next to Father Zhang, there was a wooden box. The appearance of the wooden box was a bit broken, but it was full of words. It was the tombstone of Zhang's ancestor!
Next to the tombstone, there is a coffin!
"Chen'er! You're back!" Seeing Zhang Chen coming, Zhang's mother immediately beamed with joy. She quickly ran to Zhang Chen and hugged him, excited.
"Mom, I'm back." Zhang Chen's eyes became slightly gentler.
"Chen'er, it's good if you come back." Mother Zhang let go of Zhang Chen and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm so happy that you can come back safely!"
Saying that, Zhang's mother took Zhang Chen's hand.
At this time, Father Zhang on the side also said: "It will be good if you come back, it will be good if you come back..."
Father Zhang's voice was filled with deep relief and emotion.
Everyone present also opened their mouths to congratulate.
Zhang Chen looked at these familiar and unfamiliar people in front of him, and his cold heart gradually became warm.
"Chen'er, from now on, you must learn to shoulder your responsibilities!" Zhang's father looked at Zhang Chen seriously and said, "I don't ask you to inherit the family business, but the Zhang family's property will never be allowed to be
Someone else took it away!"
Listening to these words, Zhang Chen nodded heavily, with a look of determination in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, father, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
"Yeah." Father Zhang patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that your grandfather couldn't witness you growing up! If he were alive, he would probably be even more pleased to see you now.
.”
Speaking of his grandfather Zhang Xiao, Zhang Chen's eyes instantly became moist.
His grandfather, Zhang Xiao, was the only innate warrior in the entire Zhang family besides him!
However, due to Zhang Xiao's lack of cultivation resources, he has always been stuck in the early stage of energy transformation.
However, this is still amazing enough. After all, the predecessors of the Zhang family, without exception, were all stuck in the innate realm.
Zhang Xiao's strength is considered to be the number one figure in the Chinese martial arts world!
"Chen'er, your father and I have discussed that since you are back, we will change the genealogy to the direct bloodline of the Zhang family. In addition, the tombs of the Zhang family ancestors will also be renovated. What do you think?"
Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Chen and asked.
"This..." Zhang Chen hesitated and said, "I don't think it's necessary. After all, these are the rules of our Zhang family. Our ancestors of the Zhang family must also want us to abide by the rules..."
Zhang Chen knew very well that if he changed the family tree, it would be more difficult for other descendants of the Zhang family to enter the family tree in the future.
After all, family trees need to be changed every once in a while.
Moreover, Zhang Chen believed that this was not appropriate, and the tombs of Zhang family ancestors did not require special repairs.
"Chen'er, what do you mean? Do you look down on our Zhang family?" After hearing Zhang Chen's words, a man from the Zhang family frowned and snorted coldly.
"That's right! I've heard that the Zhang family has declined now, and only a bunch of trash like you are left. How dare you refuse the conditions proposed by the clan leader?" Another member of the Zhang family also mocked.
"When the ancestors of the Zhang family were still alive, they told us that whoever can create value for the Zhang family can own the wealth of the Zhang family. But now you want to refuse the conditions proposed by the patriarch. You want to destroy the Zhang family.
?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Several people were talking about it, and their words were all disparaging Zhang Chen.
"I..." Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and wanted to defend himself.
He knew that in the eyes of this group of people, the Zhang family's money belonged to the family and he had no right to control it at all.
"Okay!" When Zhang Chen was about to explain, Zhang's father suddenly interrupted everyone and said, "Shut up, everyone! This is the clan leader's order!"
Then, Zhang's father looked at Zhang Chen and said: "Chen'er, you are also from the Zhang family. When the Zhang family encountered robbers, your grandfather fought for several days and killed the enemy leader, which gave the Zhang family a chance to breathe.
When your grandfather was dying, he left a last wish. He hoped that he could bury his bones in the ancestral land of the Zhang family."
"As his only descendant, you naturally have to abide by his last wishes! As for the details of your grandfather's funeral, just leave it to your grandfather to handle after he comes back."
"Okay, listen to dad." Zhang Chen nodded heavily.
Zhang's mother sighed, with tears in her eyes. She held Zhang Chen's hand tightly and gently touched the scar on Zhang Chen's forehead.
"Chen'er, you have suffered." Mother Zhang choked with sobs.
"Mom, don't worry, it won't happen again." Zhang Chen took a deep breath and said slowly.
Although he is a member of the Zhang family, he has nothing to do with the Zhang family. If he hadn't had a sudden idea to enter the Soaring Dragon Continent, he might never have anything to do with the Zhang family.
"Chen'er, you just came back. You must be exhausted. I'll go to the kitchen to get you something to eat. Dinner will be ready soon!" Mother Zhang smiled kindly, stood up immediately, and walked to the kitchen.
After a while, the food was served, and Zhang Chen and his parents ate together.
After eating, Zhang's father chatted with Zhang Chen for a long time before letting Zhang Chen rest.
After Zhang Chen fell asleep, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, and then Zhang's father left the house.
Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Chen's peaceful sleeping face and murmured: "Chen'er, I'm sorry, my mother has been neglectful for so many years. My mother doesn't know about your growth, and she doesn't know how you got here all these years. You
My mother is really happy to be alive."
Zhang Chen lay on the bed and silently shed two tears. For the first time in so many years, he experienced the feeling of being loved.
Zhang Chen's memory emerged in Zhang Chen's mind. When he was five years old, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother took him to visit Zhang Xiao's mausoleum. Inside the mausoleum, Zhang Chen found the remains left by Zhang Xiao during his lifetime.
letter.
After seeing this letter, Zhang Chen clenched his fists tightly together with so much hatred that he wanted to rush back to the Zhang family immediately and kill those beasts and the mastermind behind the scenes!
But in the end, Zhang Chen forced himself to calm down.
In the Soaring Dragon Continent, he is the strongest being in the Zhang family, but on Earth, he is just an ordinary person.
He wants to slowly accumulate his strength, and then kill the Zhang family to avenge his grandfather.
Zhang Chen secretly swore!
The next morning, when Zhang Chen got up, his parents had prepared breakfast and were sitting on the table eating it.
Zhang Chen washed up, said hello to his parents, and rushed directly to the company.
As soon as Zhang Chen arrived at the company, he saw Liu Hao entangled with a girl.
This girl wears professional attire, looks pure, has a graceful figure, fair and supple skin, and a curvy figure, especially her delicate and pretty face, which has a touch of temptation.
After Liu Hao saw Zhang Chen, he immediately came up to him, pointed at the girl, and said to Zhang Chen: "Mr. Zhang, let me introduce to you, her name is Li Fei, she is the new secretary, her professional skills are very powerful
, it will be much easier for you to have her help you manage the company."
"Oh." Zhang Chen responded lightly, looking away from Li Fei's face, then walked straight to the desk, picked up the documents, flipped through them, and said: "These documents are correct, according to this
Execute the above file."
"Yes." Liu Hao nodded and took the document away.
"boss Zhang."
At this moment, the girl Li Fei came over and smiled sweetly at Zhang Chen: "Can I buy you a cup of coffee? I want to learn management experience from you."
Li Fei's expression was a little shy, and she seemed a little shy.
Zhang Chen glanced at Li Fei, nodded, agreed, and then followed Li Fei towards the elevator.
Zhang Chen and Li Fei walked into the elevator together.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you. I know I am so presumptuous and a little abrupt, but I really admire you so much. Yesterday, I listened to your words and was deeply touched..."
"My dream is to become an outstanding person like you." Li Fei babbled a lot, her mouth went dry, but she still didn't stop.
Zhang Chen listened to Li Fei's chatter and flipped through the documents in his hand without feeling irritated at all.
At this moment, Zhang Chen finally confirmed that he not only obtained Zhang Xiao's inheritance, but also obtained the memory of this body.
The original name of this body was Zhang Chen, the only son of the head of the Zhang family.
In the history of the Zhang family, there have been three amazing and talented people. These three people are Zhang Chen's grandfather, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Chen's parents.
These three people are famous throughout the Chinese martial arts world. A hundred years ago, they even reached the realm of gods.
However, because their strength was so unbelievable, they attracted the attention of some superpowers in China. In the end, they were brutally murdered, and the Zhang family was destroyed as a result.
After Zhang Chen died, the Zhang family was completely lonely.
After Zhang Xiao died, the Zhang family no longer had a powerful person in the divine realm. As a result, the Zhang family's property shrank rapidly in just a few years. To this day, even the land on the outskirts of the capital has been sold.
As for Zhang Xiao's grave, it has turned into a mass grave.
The Zhang family was destroyed, and all of this was closely related to Zhang Chen.
"Zhang Chen, I'm sorry..." Zhang Chen clenched his fists, filled with anger.
"Are you Zhang Chen's brother?" At this time, the elevator door opened, and a young man in his mid-twenties walked in. When he saw Zhang Chen, his eyes lit up.
Zhang Chen raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"My name is Wang Tao." The young man introduced with a smile, and then he asked: "Brother Zhang Chen, I heard someone said that you are very prosperous outside and dominate the Dragon Continent. I'm quite curious."
Well, can you tell me what organization you work for?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Soaring Dragon Continent? Do you mean the world of cultivating immortals?" Zhang Chen frowned, not understanding how the other party knew about the existence of Soaring Dragon Continent.
"Haha, no wonder, let me tell you, how could a member of my Zhang family become an official in the secular world!" Wang Tao suddenly realized.
"Our place is called the Earth, not the so-called world of cultivating immortals as you call it." Zhang Chen explained.
"Ah? That's it..." Wang Tao scratched his head: "I thought we were from the same world. Hehe, brother Zhang Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you at work. I'll leave first."
Zhang Chen watched Wang Tao hurried out of the elevator, his lips moved slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh. He originally wanted to ask Wang Tao if there was any news about his grandfather Zhang Xiao, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
After all, for Wang Tao, this kind of world does not exist at all, and there is no way to describe it.
"That's all, now that I have returned to the mortal world, I will forget about the past. From today on, I, Zhang Chen, only belong to me and am no longer the young master of the Zhang family." Zhang Chen murmured, and then he turned around and faced
Walk to the chairman's office.
Zhang Chen is not a man who likes to evade responsibilities. Since he has taken over Zhang Chen's body, he will bear the burden of the Zhang family. Moreover, he also wants to find out who killed his grandfather and who brought Zhang Chen to justice.
The family was forced into such a situation.
the other side.
Wang Tao hurriedly ran out of the company, ran all the way, stopped a taxi, and got into the car.
After Wang Tao left, Li Fei's figure slowly appeared, staring at the car going away, thoughtfully.
"Why did you lie to him just now?" At this time, a hoarse voice sounded in Li Fei's ears.
"Of course I have my own reasons for doing this." Li Fei responded lightly. Then, she turned around and looked into the distance.
