Fang Ming fell into silence while holding the book. After a while, he continued reading.
"In the end, Lao Dao still didn't do it, because Lao Dao knew that it was not your fault, and the truth may not be as Lao Dao investigated. Too much truth has become dust. Is the truth we know now the real truth?
It’s still unknown.”
"If it were just this, Lao Dao would not leave this letter. The reason why he left this letter is because when Lao Dao was tracing the secrets on you, he discovered another secret. What I am going to say next is exactly
It has something to do with this secret."
Fang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. According to what his master said, what he said next was the key point. If the two conditions he set were just to tell him something about the wizard, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
"When I traveled around the world, I discovered that the secrets in you were related to the underworld, so I went into the underworld. It was this trip to the underworld that changed my fate."
"The underworld is not as simple as the people in the underworld describe it. There are two secrets hidden in this world. One comes from the mysterious energy in you, and the other comes from the underworld."
"The so-called reincarnation in the underworld is a lie. It is a conspiracy, a conspiracy related to the Yin and Yang worlds. Although the old Taoist is not a compassionate person, he does not want to see the Yin and Yang worlds destroyed. Just because of some reasons,
The old Taoist can't take action."
"After you read this letter, if you break through to the heaven-level realm within three years, go to the underworld for a while. When you get there, someone will contact you. If you fail to break through to the heaven-level realm, remember
, never break through to the heaven-level realm again, remember, remember."
The content ended abruptly here, but it brought huge doubts to Fang Ming.
The secrets of wizards, and the secrets of the underworld?
Is reincarnation a conspiracy? And why don’t you break through to the heavenly realm within three years?
Fang Ming cannot know these doubts at present, but he knows that he will have to solve these doubts in the near future, because he has the confidence to break through to the heaven-level realm within three years.
When the Dragon Gate Secret Realm is opened and he absorbs the aura of the Great Dao, he is confident that he can break through to the heaven-level realm.
"Huh?"
Just when Fang Ming was meditating, he found that the book in his hand turned into powder and dissipated. This made him understand that his master did not want these contents to be seen by a third person.
"Fang Ming, it's time to eat."
While Fang Ming was still deep in thought, Hua Mingming's voice came from outside the study.
Walking out of the study, Uncle Wang and the others had already prepared a table full of dishes, including their own chickens, ducks, geese, wild boar bacon, and vegetables grown in the fields.
There are dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, but Lao Huang is not here.
"Lao Huang just slipped away to the back mountain."
"Don't worry about it."
Fang Ming didn't need to think about it. He knew that Lao Huang and Xiao Hei must have gone to the back mountain to look for food. When they returned to Miaohe Village, Lao Huang's taste was already picking up. He didn't need to think about it to know that those wild birds on the mountain were going to want food again.
Disaster.
The meals are all green and pollution-free, using home-pressed vegetable oil and meat oil. The wine is sorghum wine brewed by Uncle Wang himself. Ye Ziyu and Qiqi cannot drink white wine, but Uncle Wang also prepared rice wine.
The rice wine that had been buried underground for several years had an alluring aroma when opened. The bright red color was even more beautiful than red wine. Even Ye Ziyu couldn't help but drink a big bowl.
A pound of white wine, a pot of white wine, chatting about the past, listening to Uncle Wang talking about what happened in the village, whose child asked for a wife, whose wife was more noisy, and whose child made money.
At this moment, Fang Ming was no longer the evil star that made the cultivation world change his mind, but just an ordinary wanderer returning home.
It's night!
The cold wind is biting!
Uncle Wang walked down the mountain with Dazhu's support. Hua Mingming was also staying at Dazhu's house tonight. At this moment, Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu were the only two people left in the Taoist temple.
There is a beautiful woman who drinks wine and her face turns red, and she is extremely beautiful.
The north wind is howling, blowing the warm fur in the spring room, and the girl's eyes are dim with tears. I want you to pick it up.
Don't be too surprised when you meet someone when you are young, otherwise they will be memories for the rest of your life. Fortunately, this pair will not be memories for the rest of your life.
…
Two days later, a helicopter parked in Miaohe Village. Fang Ming took Ye Ziyu, Hua Mingming, and of course Lao Huang and Xiao Hei, and left Miaohe Village as the villagers watched.
After the plane landed in the magical capital, Hua Mingming naturally wanted to go home for the New Year. Ye Ziyu also returned to the Ye family. As for Fang Ming, he took Lao Huang and Xiao Hei and set off for the capital again.
This year, he will spend it at the Ling family in the capital.
The Ling family is a big family, and at the end of the year many members of the clan begin to come back slowly, and those who work in other places also rush back to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady Ling.
In the Ling family, the old lady is heaven!
Therefore, many of the Ling family members who came back from an outing were a little disgusted when they saw the young man sitting next to the old lady, and when they saw the old lady's love and affection for the young man.
They already knew that this young man was Aunt Ling Mumei's lost son, the old woman's nephew, but there were so many grandchildren and granddaughters here, and it was a little unreasonable that the old lady was only close to her nephew.
"Perhaps grandma has not seen her nephew for more than 20 years, and she feels a little indebted to her, so she loves him so much."
The junior of the Ling family comforted himself in his heart, and Fang Ming could also feel the jealous eyes of the peers around him, but he didn't care. He came to the Ling family to attend the annual banquet, not because of the power of the Ling family, but because
Here are his mother and sister, as well as his grandmother who loves him very much.
The Ling family is a big family, and many people come to visit during the New Year. However, most of them are received by the two brothers Ling Muzheng and Ling Mushan. Ordinary guests cannot disturb the old woman.
"Eldest brother, second brother, who are here today."
In the afternoon, Ling just finished his official duties and hurried back home. He saw his eldest brother and second brother sitting in the hall, with tea on the table, and asked.
"The people here are all our subordinates and some distant relatives."
Ling Mushan's face was slightly gloomy. The Ling family was a big family, but only their subordinates came. This in itself was a bad sign.
"None of the old man's old subordinates have been here?"
Ling Gang was a little surprised. Considering his father's original position, some of the subordinates he promoted are now leaders of the department.
Although it is said that the tea will cool down when people leave, these people are a bit too realistic. Even if they don't come, they should at least make a phone call. After all, their mother is still there.
"Mom had such an incident years ago. Although there is no problem now, the impact on the outside world is not small. In addition, the eldest brother will not be promoted this time. Many people feel that our Ling family is no longer good."
There was anger in Ling Mushan's tone. With so many resources, the defeat of the Ling family was naturally what other families wanted to see.
"Brother, what happened this time? How come Liao Yuan was suddenly transferred to the Ministry of Health? Doesn't that person no longer need Liao Yuan to escort him?"
Ling Gang was a little puzzled. Although he could not reach such high-level people due to his status, as a member of the Ling family, he naturally knew more information than people of the same level.
The person who has just been transferred to the health department is Mr. Tang's right-hand man. Although the health environment is very tight now, how can there be a propaganda department and an organization department that are good at it?
That person, normally, should go to one of those two departments.
Ling Muzheng also had doubts on his face. Since the old man left, the Ling family has been unable to participate in the top-level games, and they can no longer understand the secrets involved. As Liao Yuan was transferred to the health department, he must be the top leader.
"Uncle, I just saw the Lin family's car parked in the Zhang family's yard."
A young man from the Ling family walked in with an angry look on his face. The Lin family and the Ling family are related by marriage, but even the in-laws did not come to visit at this time, just because the old man from the Zhang family next door was still there. The Zhang family is now
The person in charge is the business leader.
"The Lin family is really a coward. Without the promotion of the old man, it was only at the department level at most. When the old man was here, I didn't know how diligent he was at visiting. Since the old man left, he only came once or twice a year. Now it's better.
Not coming anymore."
Ling Gang also had an angry look on his face, it would be fine if others didn't come, but as an in-law, and relying on the Ling family to get here, now he is deliberately ignoring the Ling family.
Listening to his younger brother's words, Ling Mushan looked a little embarrassed, because it was his daughter who married the Lin family. The old man was opposed to it at first because he said that the Lin family was too philistine and not a good family, but in the end he couldn't stand his daughter's insistence, so he just
I can agree.
"Jiayi will be back soon."
Ling Gang also noticed something was wrong in his words and changed the topic.
Hearing Jiayi, Ling Muzheng had a smile on his face. Jiayi is his daughter and she is married to the Yan family. Although the Yan family is not one of the nine major families, the current member of the Yan family is on the rise very quickly and is already a member of the Yan family.
If you become a prince, there is a great possibility that you can go one step further and enter the elder's seat.
"Well, Jiayi just called and will come with Jintao."
"Okay, I'll go see mom first."
Ling Gang nodded and walked across the hall to the backyard. There, the old woman was basking in the sun while holding Fang Ming's hand and chatting. As for the other juniors, they were sitting not far away, some playing with their mobile phones.
, and some are communicating with each other about work matters.
Seeing his nephew, Ling Gang was still a little frightened. He had wiped out the entire Yang family by himself. The Yang family was not an ordinary family, but even so, he could still sit here intact, looking like this.
How could he not be afraid of such a fierce man?
"Mom, I'm in a good mood today."
"Of course. My nephew is here to see me. Can I be in a bad mood?"
The old lady held Fang Ming's hand, smiling and unwilling to let go. Fang Ming also let the old lady hold her and smiled slightly at his brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, grandma is really partial. After Fang Ming came over, she took Fang Ming alone. We are not her biological grandchildren after all."
"It's just that my grandma has never held my hand since I grew up. I'm so envious." These juniors said half-jokingly.
"You are a monkey. When you were in trouble when you were a child, you never hid in grandma's house."
The old lady glared at one of her grandsons. As an old person, what she likes is this kind of family happiness. After a trip to hell, she finally looked away. How can there be an undefeated family in this world? The Ling family
No matter how much it declines, it will still be much better than most families. At least the descendants will not have to worry about food and clothing, and that’s fine. They won’t be constantly being plotted against, and at least they can keep the family safe.
Just as the backyard was enjoying itself, a young man and woman also walked in from the hall.
"Dad, second uncle."
"Father-in-law, Director Ling."
"Jiayi and Jintao are here."
Seeing his daughter and son-in-law, Ling Muzheng showed a look of satisfaction on his face. His son-in-law's visit at this time showed his respect for the Ling family and himself.
"Father-in-law, my dad was originally going to come over for a visit, but because he had something to do with the great elder after arriving in Beijing, he went there. My dad asked me to explain it to you, father-in-law." Yan Jintao said with a smile.
"It's enough for Secretary Yan to have this intention. He is a busy man. He must have a lot of things to do when he comes to Beijing."
Ling Muzheng shook his head, although he knew that his son-in-law was speaking politely. How could a high-ranking official come to visit him?
"Dad, grandma is inside. Let's go in first and say hello to grandma."
"Okay, let's go in."
In the backyard, after Ling Jiayi and Yan Jintao entered, the younger members of the Ling family all stood up.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you are here."
"Brother-in-law, you are handsome again."
"Sister, your skin is getting better and better. It seems that my brother-in-law loves you very much."
Being in an official family like the Ling family, one is much more sensitive than other families when it comes to following people's influence. These descendants of the Ling family also know that among their younger generation, it is the brother-in-law who is currently the most powerful one, so they naturally have to catch up.
close.
Yan Jintao smiled and nodded with everyone, but there was also a look of arrogance on his face. His father was appreciated by the elder, and he would definitely go further in the future, because according to what the elder said, his father would be his successor.
The Yan family is getting prosperous day by day, while the Ling family is on the contrary. If it weren't for Jiayi's sake, he wouldn't have come to visit today. At most, he would come to visit during the first lunar month to pay New Year's greetings.
"grandmother!"
Yan Jintao and Ling Jiayi walked up to the old lady. After greeting the old lady, their eyes fell on Fang Ming at the same time.
Yan Jintao had a look of confusion on his face, but Ling Jiayi seemed to have thought of something and asked in an uncertain tone: "This must be my cousin Fang Ming."
Her aunt has a son and a daughter. She only found out about this not long ago, but she has never met the real person because the last time her grandma was sick and hospitalized, she was out of town. Later, she heard that her grandma was fine, so she didn't rush there.
return.
"Grandson, this is your uncle's daughter, the eldest among you, and this is your cousin's husband."
Upon hearing grandma's introduction, Fang Ming also smiled and called his cousin and brother-in-law.
Yan Jintao looked at Fang Ming. He had heard about Fang Ming from his wife. It was said that the old lady was able to recover because of him. Her medical skills were very powerful. However, in Yan Jintao's opinion, how powerful could a young man's medical skills be?
It is estimated that the old lady's mood improved after she heard that she had a grandson, and she recovered from her illness.
Moreover, this cousin was only recently found. He has not been trained by the Ling family since he was a child. He has never been involved in business or politics. He is just an idler.
To put it bluntly, he is the kind of lucky person who is at the bottom of society, but got away with it and returned to the Ling family.
Thinking of this, Yan Jintao's heart faded away, and he just smiled back at Fang Ming, and then turned his gaze away.
The younger generations of the Ling family have all returned, and the old lady is old and not very energetic after all, so at around four o'clock, the Ling family's servants have already prepared dinner.
There were four tables in total. The old lady and some elders were at the main table, while Fang Ming and his sister sat at another table.
"Brother, I plan to go back tomorrow."
Xiao Yu'er, oh, now her name has been changed to Fang Yu'er.
Fang Yu'er looked at her brother, and Fang Ming also knew his sister's heart. For his sister, the Xiao family has raised her for more than twenty years. This kind of kindness cannot be let go. Even in his sister's heart, no one except her mother can give up.
Except for myself, no one else in the Ling family is as close as the Xiao family.
"Go ahead. When you get to Xiao's house, come back to Fang's house with me."
Since I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my clan, my sister must also recognize my ancestors and return to my clan. This is a kind of guarantee.
As long as he recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan, his sister will be considered a member of the Fang family. With this level of status, even if he is not with his sister, even if he has an accident, no one will dare to bully his sister.
Fang Ming is taking precautions before they happen.
At the main table, Ling Muzheng glanced at his daughter and son-in-law not far away. In the past, it was okay for his son-in-law to sit at the junior table, but now the Yan family's upward trend is obvious. Should he call his son-in-law to the main table?
The main table can seat ten people, but now only eight people are seated, and there are just two empty seats.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you come to our table? You should sit at the uncle's table."
"Don't talk nonsense, I am a junior, so naturally I sit at the junior table."
"Brother-in-law, you are only thirty years old and you are already at the level of deputy director. Moreover, your old man wants to take a step further. He should sit at the main table for reasons and reasons. I saw that my uncle just looked this way several times.
I'll definitely call you over soon."
"That's right, I bet my brother-in-law will come to the main table soon."
The juniors of the Ling family are all smart people, and although Yan Jintao said it didn't matter, he still glanced at the main table. There were indeed two empty seats there.
"Mom, we still have room at this table, why don't we call?"
Ling Mushan spoke. He knew his eldest brother's psychology, but the key point was that Jin Tao was his son-in-law, and there were several other sons-in-law here. If the eldest brother asked his son-in-law to come to the main table, what would the other ones think?
?So, he can only say this.
However, halfway through Ling Mushan's words, the old lady's eyes lit up, she waved towards Fang Ming and said, "My good grandson, come to grandma quickly."
The old lady's words made everyone in the audience stunned. Although the old lady was very kind and loved her juniors, she had never called her juniors to accompany her at a family gathering in all these years.
