Chapter 278: The Story of the Nangong Family

The old man's beard was gray, and his temples were all white.

With a slightly kind smile on his wrinkled face, his hands folded in front of him, his body leaned forward for a moment or two, his back bent up, and sometimes he coughed softly.

Lu Yunxi instinctively stood in place, motionless.

The situation of the system today is far from what she used to accept.

She always thought that as long as she was the master of the Dyeing Tide Pavilion and earned enough silver taels to save her life.

Unexpectedly, such a task has been triggered now.

Could it be that you are too good?

Lu Yunxi's mind turned rapidly, and a pair of eyes stared directly at the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man saw that she was motionless, and in desperation, he had to step forward by himself.

Lu Yunxi subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the old man had already walked to her side.

"Congratulations to players for being the first to enter the story mission system. ”

The voice of the white-bearded old man's vicissitudes sounded in Lu Yunxi's ears.

Lu Yunxi smiled awkwardly.

The white-bearded old man waved his hands, and a picture scroll jumped from the white vastness in the distance, and then he made a gesture of invitation to Lu Yunxi.

Lu Yunxi stepped forward slowly and carefully spread out the scroll.

But I saw that there were two people painted in the picture scroll, one of them was Nangong Long, and the other was exactly the same as him, presumably the original biological brother.

The white-bearded old man took two steps around Lu Yunxi and whispered the stories of the Nangong family one by one.

It turned out that the Nangong family was originally just an ordinary farmer outside Jiangning City, and they had been cultivating land outside Jiangning City for generations.

About three hundred years ago, when a head of the Nangong family was working in the fields, he inadvertently saved a man covered in blood.

After the man woke up, in order to repay the master of the family for saving his life, he gave all his silver taels to the master of the family and asked him to go to Jiangning City to do some small business.

At the same time, the man also gave the head of the Nangong family a secret book, which recorded thousands of ways to earn silver.

The head of the Nangong family relied on this secret book, as well as those silver taels, and soon gained a foothold in Jiangning City.

He married the daughter of a third-class merchant in Jiangning City at that time.

The woman became pregnant less than three months after she passed the door.

The whole family of the Nangong family was overjoyed.

However, it didn't last long, and when the woman was six months pregnant, she suddenly had an accident and died twice.

The head of the Nangong family was in pain.

Later, he continued the strings again.

Who knows, it is still the same as the previous wife, when the wife was six months pregnant, she encountered an accident and once again died twice.

Everything was too much of a coincidence, and the head of the Nangong family finally realized that something might be wrong.

He went to the Ci'an Temple on Ningpo Mountain, wanting to ask the gods to worship the Buddha and ask for clarification.

When the abbot of Ci'an Temple saw the head of the Nangong family, he shook his head again and again, saying that he was victimized by witchcraft, and today's glory and wealth were all exchanged for the lives of later generations.

The head of the Nangong family was shocked and begged the abbot for help.

The abbot only said that if you want to protect the wealth of the present and the peace of your children and grandchildren, you must carry the mission.

The head of the Nangong family was in a panic, and he couldn't care so much, so he immediately agreed.

The abbot only gave him a yellow talisman and told him to boil it in water and drink it when he returned, and then marry another wife, and when his wife was six months pregnant, he would bring her to the Ci'an Temple.

The head of the Nangong family acted according to the plan.

A few months later, he really took a pot-bellied woman back to Ci'an Temple.

The abbot arranged for them to live in the backyard of the temple and gave them a brazier to them, telling them to keep the brazier burning from the moment they entered the temple until the woman gave birth.

At that time, although it was already the height of summer, in order to keep this bit of blood of the Nangong family, the head of the Nangong family guarded the brazier day and day, and did not dare to leave for half a step.

Four months later, the two children fell to the ground.

The head of the Nangong family was overjoyed.

But the abbot took a young monk from a temple and took one of the children away.

How can the head of the Nangong family be willing?

He wanted to reason with the abbot, but the abbot told him that the yellow talisman he had taken that day was a life-chasing talisman. Once this life-chasing talisman is swallowed, it is to tie all the blessings and safety of Jiangning City to his own family.

From now on, each generation of the Nangong family can give birth to twins, but one of them must be raised by the abbot of Ci'an Temple, so that he will always accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern to bear the sins brought by the wealth and glory of the Nangong family. If the son of the public commits an unforgivable sin, the son in the temple will also bear it, so as to protect the glory of the Nangong family for generations.

Although this matter sounds too cruel, but thinking that as long as one child is sacrificed, the Nangong family will be able to maintain glory and wealth for generations, and the head of the Nangong family also agreed.

Since then, the Nangong family and Ci'an Temple have been abiding by this rule, and it has never been interrupted for hundreds of years.

Until the appearance of Nangong Long and Brother Sheng.

Brother Sheng, formerly known as Nangong Yu, came to this world a second earlier than Nangong Long, and then became the person who needed to be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

Before he was sixteen years old, he never left the temple.

However, one day, a man found the backyard of Ci'an Temple, and he was surprised when he saw Nangong Yu.

He claimed that he could save Nangong Yu's life and let Nangong Yu leave with him.

Nangong Yu refused, so the man told Nangong Yu everything one by one.

Nangong Yu was surprised.

He couldn't accept that he was born to keep his glory and wealth for another person, and this person was also his own brother!

In a fit of rage, he decided to leave with the man.

Unexpectedly, this man actually has a ghost in his heart.

He didn't know where to learn the story of the Nangong family, so he wanted to trick Nangong Yu out and use him to blackmail the abbot of Ci'an Temple, so that the abbot could hand over the method of becoming a wealthy family in Jiangning City, so as to replace the position of the Nangong family.

How did he know that this method was an extremely vicious method at all. Exchanging human lives for wealth is no different from making a deal with the devil.

Nangong Yu soon realized that he had been deceived by him and wanted to escape, but he was caught by the man again and again.

The last time, Nangong Yu finally ran out, but he was injured, he hadn't eaten for several days and nights, and fainted in a dark alley.

Yunxi passed by the dark alley and rescued Nangong Yu.

When the man saw that the matter was revealed, he put all the blame on Yun Xi, only saying that Yun Xi instructed him to act like this, so that the Nangong family would disappear and dominate Jiangning City.

Originally, as long as Nangong Yu woke up, everything was explained clearly, all misunderstandings could be solved, and the Nangong family and the Yun family could get along peacefully.

Who knows, for some reason, Nangong Yu has amnesia!
