The barrier is the most important thing in Xiqi. If the barrier is fake, then the entire 5,000 years of Xiqi's perseverance and sacrifice will become a joke.
This is unacceptable to all Xiqi people.
But on the other hand, if the barrier is fake, then what is Jiang Ziya’s purpose?
Is he just setting up such a false barrier so that the people of Xiqi will sacrifice and bleed for it and believe in him as a god forever?
Or is it just for deception, an evil taste?
These reasons are too far-fetched...
The barrier is the greatest of all mysteries.
Chen Zhi had a normal and logical speculation, if Jiang Ziya really deceived everyone and risked the disapproval of the world to set up this fake barrier.
Then this barrier should not be about protecting something, but should be about sealing something.
There is probably something sealed inside it, something that Jiang Ziya is very afraid of coming out, something that will turn the whole world upside down...
And all the secrets are hidden in the reply in Di Xin's hand.
Chen Zhi always felt that the things that seemed important at the moment were not very important, including the bronze gate in Changbai Mountain, Fengdu Underworld, and the Queen of Hades who was about to come out.
None of it matters...
What is really important is to find that reply.
During this period, Chen Zhi suddenly remembered a very special thing. If the whole destiny is really a big game of chess, then this is a separate line and the most important line.
He dialed his father Chen Yiyang's phone number.
Since the conspiracy carefully arranged by his father two years ago, Chen Yiyang has been hidden by the organization in a very secret place.
He was imprisoned there and could only communicate with Chen Zhi through a single line via Internet phone. Later Bao Ping also said that Chen Yiyang was actually free and could leave at any time as long as he wanted.
But Chen Yiyang will not leave. He needs a stage to prove his ability. The organization is his true destination.
So from then on, Chen Zhi no longer worried about his father's safety.
After dialing the phone this time, Chen Yiyang's image appeared on the other side of the phone.
Seeing Chen Zhi again, Chen Yiyang's face and tone revealed unconcealable excitement. He hadn't seen Chen Zhi for a long time, and it was obvious that he missed his son from the bottom of his heart.
"Xiao Zhi, what have you been busy with recently?",
Chen Yiyang looked excited and anxious, like an old man in a nursing home who lacked care.
"You seem to be very busy lately!
You haven’t called me for a long time, and I don’t dare to disturb you!!”
"I'm a little busy!!" Chen Zhi replied gently.
Then I looked at his father's face in the video. His father seemed to have gained weight and his face was slightly red.
It seems like what Bao Ping said is true, his father has found his sense of belonging, and this is the happiest moment in his life.
"Dad, I want to ask you something about the past!" Chen Zhi said,
"When you were in contact with Anbu in the past, did anything special happen?
For example, when you were doing those things, did anyone instigate you or give you advice?"
"This..." Chen Yiyang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Zhi ask this question.
"Xiao Zhi, why are you bringing this up now?
Are those all mistakes of the past?
At that time, my thoughts were too single and extreme.
I won’t make this kind of mistake again~~
I have been thinking about your mother these days, and I feel sorry for her.
If I could go back to the past, I would definitely be kind to her..."
"No, Dad~~",
Chen Zhi tried to soften his tone so as not to make his father too nervous.
"Dad! I'm not blaming you!
What I'm talking about now is objective.
I mean, before you do these things, is there a possibility that someone used some method or some words to give you hope, or used some method to induce you to do these things?"
"Are you talking about manipulating my mind?",
Chen Yiyang has always been a very smart person, and he immediately understood what Chen Zhi said,
"Xiao Zhi, you know, I am a genius in psychology!!
No one can manipulate me, not even divine animals can make any hints to me!!
This was one of the reasons why Anbu Ma cooperated with me at that time.
Everything I did at that time was because of your grandfather's last words. His last wishes were too strong, so I made the following series of arrangements.
No one is at the mercy of me. If you want to say who has influenced me? It can only be your grandfather.
And Xiaozhi, why do you ask that?
Did something happen?"
"Well..." Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his head and confided everything to his father.
This included things about the Feng Clan, everything he saw in the Tomb of the Cooking God, and his guess about the reply card in Emperor Xin's hand, which he slowly revealed.
"Dad, think about it again." Chen Zhi then asked,
"Have you ever met any strange people before you did those things?
They have some very special features, such as their eyes..."
"Special eyes?" Chen Yiyang seemed to remember something all of a sudden, and then fell into deep memories.
After that, he also lit a cigarette there, pulled the ashtray, blew out a smoke ring, and then recalled softly,
"I haven't seen...
But..., I heard people talk about it when I was young.
That person is my father, also your grandfather!"
"What?" Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked at Chen Yiyang in the video with his eyes wide open.
At this time, I heard Chen Yiyang continue to say:
“I was too young at that time, so I didn’t know exactly what was going on.
But I heard from your grandfather that when he was very young, his parents, that is, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, were very indulgent.
So he often plays outside alone and goes home very late, and his family won't blame him.
But once, he met a masked man, who gave him candy, played with him for a long time, and then sent him back.
During the play, the man didn't say a word.
But as for how he met that person and what that person played with him, he couldn’t remember either!!
But that day, when he returned home, he found that his parents had become very strange.
The movements are exaggerated and stiff like a doll, but the emotions are very exciting.
They told your grandfather about the ancient hatred of our Chen family, and they burst into tears and were very sad and angry.
And make your grandfather swear an oath to avenge our Chen family!!
It was from that time on that your grandfather began to resolve to take revenge, and Xiqi became the enemy of our Chen family.
Not long after that, your great-grandfather and grandmother both passed away.
Your grandfather had no doubts about this matter, and he was especially concerned about the masked man.
Your grandfather always said that the man with the masked face moved very fast and strangely, something must be wrong.
And most importantly, the eyes he exposed were very scary.
