When Aesop heard Qu Jianlei's words, his expression changed again - the enemy's spy was targeting a magic weapon?
He is over 100 years old and has been the leader of the clan for more than 30 years. It is said that he has seen enough scenes and will not be easily frightened.
But the person who informed him of the news was a member of the famous Digital Phantom, which naturally brought an influence bonus.
In addition, what we are talking about is a major matter that can affect the life and death of the entire family, which will also affect his reason and judgment.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke with an embarrassed look on his face, "Thank you for your mercy, but..."
"It is quite difficult for us descendants to dig into the graves of our ancestors."
"In this case, just pretend I've never been here," Qu Jianlei stood up and said expressionlessly, "I'm leaving..."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared.
"My lord, please stay," Aesop shouted in fright, "Everything is easy to discuss!"
He really didn't want to touch the graves of his ancestors, but there was no doubt that that was not the whole reason, or even the main reason.
After all, the price of magical instruments has soared to one trillion yuan, who would not be tempted by it?
Everyone else has seen that the family has achieved a class jump under the leadership of Ya Yi'an, but who knows how difficult it is to maintain a class?
As the patriarch, Aesop is very aware of the family's current situation.
It is unlikely to decline excessively in the short term, but it is also powerless to expand.
In the core circle, there are a group of tribesmen who are quite competitive, but there are plateaus but no peaks!
Moreover, those tribesmen have been away from the family for a long time, and the ties of blood have become somewhat weaker, and some even have grudges with their own clan!
If this branch can get a large amount of funds back, it can greatly enhance the family cohesion, and it will not be a dream to reach a higher level.
Inevitably, he wanted to bargain - you don't want to offend the deceased, it's normal for us to respect our ancestors, right?
But when the other party left so neatly, he woke up in an instant!
What people say is "unless necessary" and they don't want to disturb the deceased, not that they will never disturb him!
Digital Phantom has done so much for his family and has maintained considerable restraint, but this does not mean that he can really be bullied.
If you really lose your popularity, then it won't be a matter of considering moving to the next level.
The problem he has to face is: how to prevent the family from plummeting!
There is no doubt that the other party has the strength to easily knock the family into the abyss. Let alone one magic weapon, two magic weapons are not enough!
The reason why people are reasonable is that they are willing to be reasonable. If they really don’t want to be reasonable, who can do anything to win over the other person?
And there is no doubt that his actions are pushing the other party to the opposite side.
Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, the figure flashed and the other party came back again.
Qu Jianlei looked at Aesop and said expressionlessly, "How do you plan to discuss it?"
Aesop took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "It's up to you to make the decision."
At this moment, he really risked his life. Whether it was good or bad was all decided by the other person's thoughts.
Since the other party could show enough respect to the deceased, he must not have gone too far... right?
This is the wisdom of a big family to survive. They don't know how to gamble easily, but they don't mind taking a big gamble at critical moments.
Once you lose, what you lose is a sum of foreign money that is not under your control, and there will be no more losses.
But if the bet is right, the reward will be hard to say - the current Aesop clan leader doesn't want to think about it carefully.
Qu Jianlei smiled after hearing this, showing his white teeth, "Don't you force yourself?"
"Absolutely not!" Aesop shook his head simply, "I was overthinking it just now. Without your protection, we will be miserable."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly again, "But a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his possession!"
In fact, in his opinion, the Yayi'an family is not really innocent.
Without the protection of its own team, it would be difficult for this family to distance themselves from the spies, and the charges were ready-made.
Aesop nodded, "Yes, I am too greedy...I will make arrangements immediately."
After pondering for a while, he dared to ask again, "Can I take the liberty to ask, what would you do if you just left like this?"
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, "I don't know how to do anything, really... I also want to see who has the guts to intercept the digital phantom business!"
Aesop was silent for about ten seconds, and then said in a deep voice, "Give me a few days."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded and disappeared in a flash.
It rained again that night, and many monitors outside had noticed Qu Jianlei's arrival, but no one felt his departure.
In the reception room, there was only the presence of one person from beginning to end, and that was Aesop, the patriarch of the Yayi'an family.
It wasn't until the people watching noticed Aesop walking out of the reception room that anyone came forward to call the door.
When they learned that the people from Digital Phantom had left, they couldn't help but sigh, "This cultivation level... I'm afraid it's more than the highest!"
Then there is what they want to know: what does the digital phantom want to do when it comes again?
Aesop didn't even say a word: You dare to ask, but I dare not answer.
He really didn't dare to say the word "transaction" because it was too easy for others to guess the content of the transaction.
They are both the top smart people in the empire, and there is no way he can hide it from each other.
Fortunately, the other party also noticed the movement of the visitor and did not dare to continue to pester him.
Waiting until early in the morning, Chief Aesop summoned his clan members to follow him, arrived at the family's secret vault, and entered alone.
There are actually not many things in the secret vault, and nothing particularly valuable.
Aesop opened the heavy vault, which contained small safes, many with labels on them.
One of the small safes has a label that reads, "It can only be opened if the family has been at the top for hundreds of years"!
This is the safe left by Ya Yi'an, which means that after him, the family must have a senior leader to open it.
In other words, ordinary supreme beings are not qualified to open it, they must have enough experience.
This is the only safe left by Ya Yi'an. Although he left a lot of resources, there is only one safe.
Below this line of words, there is another line of small words.
"Zixi is presumptuous and knows that he is wrong. Also: Do not open it unless the family's life or death is at stake. Remember, remember!"
Zixi was the only second Supreme Being in the family after Ya Yi'an, but he died sixty years after becoming Supreme Supreme.
This label is also easy to understand. After he advanced to the highest level, he felt somewhat inflated and felt that he was qualified to open the safe.
But after opening the safe, he realized that Ya Yi'an's message made sense, so he apologized and added one.
——If it is less than a hundred years old, it can only be opened unless something big happens to the family.
It's just a warning from Ya Yi'an, but it may not necessarily work. It is inevitable that there will be smart-alecks among the younger generations.
Zixi is a typical example. He believes that although it has not been long since he reached the highest level, it is not much worse than the highest level he has accumulated over the years.
Then he opened the safe and finally realized the gap, so he added another one.
After adding this point, no one in the family dared to use their brains. The only two supreme leaders emphasized it again and again.
And Aesop believes that if Ya Yi'an can leave the magic weapon, this is the only clue.
Others... That's really impossible. Who in the clan doesn't know how many resources Ya Yi'an has left?
Aesop raised his hand and started to pray in a low voice toward the front, meaning that the younger generation was incompetent and would violate the ancestral teachings again.
But strictly speaking, he doesn't completely violate it...if he really can't pass this level, the family may indeed be wiped out.
After praying for a while, he stepped forward and pressed the sixty-four-digit password, then pricked his finger and smeared it on the button.
If you are not of family blood, just knowing the password is useless.
The safe door opened in response, and inside were two alloy plates with small words engraved on them.
This kind of storage method will not cause problems for ten thousand years, and it is much more reliable than paper or memory.
Aesop prayed for a while, then stepped forward and took out the metal plate. After looking at it for a few times, he nodded - indeed it was so!
What Ya Yi'an left behind was really information about the secret room under the tomb.
He said that there were important items in the secret room, but it was impossible to deal with those items without years of experience.
What's rare is that Zixi also put an alloy plate with a note, indicating that it is definitely not something that young people can solve.
To this end, he deliberately blocked the entrance to the secret room and asked latecomers to think twice before opening the hole: Have the conditions been met?
"This..." Aesop thought over and over again and sighed, "The two ancestors really meet the conditions."
In any case, since Ya Yi'an chose to build the secret room under the tomb, he certainly didn't mind the interference of his descendants.
Aesop was completely relieved because of this, and all the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared.
But he doesn't live in a forest farm, and it's not suitable to go out on such a rainy night. After all, there are so many people watching.
The next morning, Aesop took a group of tribesmen to the cemetery to offer incense and worship to their ancestors.
There is nothing wrong with such a move. Ya Yi'an's family has encountered a lot of things recently, and it is normal to offer sacrifices to ancestors.
Even the monitors don't think anything can happen in the cemetery. Respecting the ancestors is the tradition of the empire.
However, there is still the necessary surveillance, especially since Aesop announced that the sacrifice will be held for three consecutive days.
However, this place is surrounded by the Yayi'an family's forest farm, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually, and can only enter through drones or satellites.
At night, Aesop found the entrance to the secret room.
The entrance is next to the cemetery's path. Although it has been blocked by Zixi, it is not difficult to reopen it.
After entering the cave entrance, the secret passage inside is directly under the cemetery path, leading to Ya Yi'an's tomb along the path.
Such a secret passage is not only secretive and difficult to discover, but it is also fully guaranteed not to affect other deceased people.
Walking in the secret passage, Aesop couldn't help but sigh that this ancestor was not only the soul of the family, but also thoughtful enough.
He entered the secret passage for a full hour before he emerged from the cave entrance.
Then he bowed deeply and filled back the hole.
