Outside a cell, Zhang Zixian quietly looked inside, his face calm.

The gray hair was scattered on the ground, the old face was full of unwillingness, and the whole corpse was already a little stinky, and even attracted some flies and insects, flying everywhere around.

Who would have imagined that the eldest son of the ancestor, who had always been extremely powerful in the clan, would die in this prison in desolation, and he still had this old and twilight posture before he died.

It's sad and funny.

Zhang Zixian sighed, then turned to leave, and the sound of slow footsteps sounded on the ground paved with stone bricks, getting farther and farther away.

Soon, the clansmen of Ao Feng's lineage were notified by the head of the family to collect the corpses, and the person in charge of the lead was Zhang Gouyan.

When he came to the prison with several of his clansmen and saw a gray-haired old man, his expression was full of shock.

He didn't expect that his father had changed so much, and he couldn't be superimposed with his heroic image on weekdays, so he became like this after experiencing the power struggle.

It's a father-son relationship, and it's sad for a while.

But the matter has come to this point, and he also understands in his heart that the loser has only this one fate, and the current head of the family does not blame them for liquidating them, he is already benevolent and righteous, and he can't complain about others.

After calming down, Zhang Gouyan led his clansmen to carry his father's body back, and it didn't take long for the funeral to be organized.

Different from the previous scenes where several elders died in battle, Zhang Aofeng's funeral was extremely simple, and the people who came did not even inquire too much except for the clansmen of this lineage.

The mourning hall looked extremely deserted, and Zhang Gouyan knelt on the ground wearing linen and filial piety, looking at the coffin in front of him with a sad face.

A haggard woman, dressed in plain white, sobbed mournfully.

Her name is Cai Luoyi, and she is Zhang Aofeng's wife, and in the back, there are several concubines who knelt on the ground and wept sadly.

"Mother, the festival mourns smoothly. Zhang Gou said.

Cai Roy seemed to have aged a lot, shook his head and sighed, "I can't complain about others." ”

She learned that her husband led the clan to rebel last night, but in the end she was suppressed by the current head of the family, and she didn't sleep all night in fear.

Worry about your future generations and the consequences that your husband will face.

Fortunately, the current head of the family was merciful and forgave them, and the descendants of Zhang Aofeng's lineage were able to be unhindered, and their hearts gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the end, he still ushered in the corpse of his husband.

Cai Roy is not too disillusioned, she knows that this is now the best outcome.

At first, she couldn't believe it at all, because it was obviously the corpse of an old man in the twilight, but when she saw the clothes she was wearing and the jade pendant tied around her waist.

Only then did she believe that Ao Feng was really dead.

Cai Luoyi's eyes were red from crying, she got up slowly, and Zhang Gouyan beside her hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.

"Your father has done something wrong, and it is normal to have this retribution, so you must not be resentful. ”

She admonished.

Zhang Gouyan felt bitter in his heart, "Mother, what do you say, the head of the family forgives us for our innocence, it's too late for me to be grateful." ”

Cai Roy nodded slightly, "Especially Fengqing, when he wakes up, he must stabilize his emotions." ”

She is now very worried that her eldest son will be grief-stricken and do something bad.

Ao Feng is dead, the highest pillar is gone, but the clansmen of this vein still have to survive, and now the family situation is not good, in case they are driven out, this enemy does not know how to deal with them.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my eldest brother and never let him do stupid things. ”

Zhang Gouyan said with a solemn face.

At this time, in front of an attic of the Zhang family, there was a beautiful woman.

There is a plaque hanging in the attic, on which several large characters are carved on it: Alchemy Pavilion

"It's been a long time since I've been in it. ”

A soft voice sounded with deep affection.

Zhang Xiaolian took a deep breath, she pushed open the door and stepped into it with light steps.

Since there was no one to clean it, the beams, walls, and furnace were covered with dust and cobwebs, and it was a bleak scene.

"Twenty years. Zhang Xiaolianyu's face showed a look of remembrance.

She pinched the trick with her right hand, and with a wave of her sleeve robe, a pure white ball of light suddenly rose, and then slowly swam around the periphery, leaving no stains everywhere she went.

Zhang Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction.

She had already instructed her clansmen to go outside to buy materials, and when the required materials were gathered, the next step was to refine Tsukidan.

Outside, in the market.

The voices of people are boiling, the traffic is busy, and the eaves of the shops along the street are as one, row upon row.

The two young men tensed their nerves as they hurried through the flow of people towards the designated place.

"Slow down, Zehua, don't be in such a hurry. The man who was half a step behind couldn't help but speak.

His name is Zhang Mingxuan, and this time he came out with another clan member to search for materials, under the orders of one of the high-ranking members of the family, Elder Xiao Lian.

Zhang Zehua, who was called to slow down, finally slowed down, and said in a low voice: "Can you not be in a hurry, and I don't want to think about what the situation of our Zhang family is now, and we still have a task when we come out this time." ”

Zhang Mingxuan exhaled and wiped the slight sweat on his forehead, "Got it." ”

The two of them are members of the fifth generation of the Zhang family, and their cultivation is only the fourth level of Qi cultivation, but who would have imagined that the materials that these two people are going to search for today are used to make Zhuji Dan.

Of course, the two of them didn't know, and they wondered why they suddenly had to allocate a large amount of spirit stones for alchemy this time, after all, now that the Zhang family is in a recession, even the monthly payment is getting less and less.

"Let's get things done right away to avoid complications. Zhang Zehua said.

I have to say that this day is really not good, originally the children of the Zhang family went out, and they used to wear specific clothes and wear specific jade pendants on their waists, so as to show outsiders that they were members of the Zhang family.

But since the family suffered a major blow, he can only wear coarse clothes and linen all these years, dressed like ordinary people, and dare not show anything too much.

After all, in this Anyang County, not only the Zhang family, but also the clansmen of the Xu and Shen families went out, and the two sides were sworn enemies of each other.

And the two of them, wearing just ordinary clothes, try to stabilize their breath, for fear of being seen by the enemy.

"Yupintang has arrived. Zhang Mingxuan said.

"Let's go, hurry up and finish purchasing the materials, and go back immediately. Zhang Zehua said in a deep voice.

The two stepped in, and neatly instructed the store to gather the relevant materials, and they didn't dare to be too publicistic during the whole process.

I have to say that this time I spent more than 20,000 spirit stones, which is really a big expense.

Zhang Mingxuan and Zhang Zehua didn't expect that when the clan would be extravagant enough to mobilize such a large sum of spirit stones to buy materials, in this case, the situation of this Zhang family is not too bad.

Even the shopkeeper looked surprised, he looked at the two young men in front of him with interest, after all, he must be from a famous family to have such a big deal.

can see that this behavior and dress are no different from ordinary people.

It's a strange thing.

The shopkeeper coughed lightly and asked curiously, "You two, are you locals?"

Zhang Mingxuan just wanted to answer, but Zhang Zehua beside him took the first step and said: "We are just hired subordinates, we have to go back to the errand quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, he grabbed Zhang Mingxuan's arm and walked out.

"It's just a store, can't you say it well?" Zhang Mingxuan was a little depressed.

Zhang Zehua glanced at it, "Keep a low profile, when we were leaving, Elder Xiao Lian also told us that this material is very important, so let's not reveal too much information." ”

"Oh. ”

Zhang Mingxuan's face was helpless.

At this moment, several people who approached them made their faces change drastically, and their hearts trembled.

Looking at their costumes, it turned out to be the clansmen of the Xu family going out, only to see them walking with a domineering expression, and the people around them knew that they were in the family, so they bowed their heads in fright and gave way.

"It's a person from the Xu family. Zhang Zehua said with an ugly face.
