Chapter 517: Things Are Wrong
Chen Ran's question can be described as very tricky.
It's really heart-wrenching.
"It's okay, I don't care so much anymore. ”
"I just want to see how they're doing. ”
"That's all. ”
Hengba Ancestor sighed.
He knew that he had done something wrong in the first place, so what reason did he have to ask others to do something?
To some extent, he even wants the other party to marry.
It's better than waiting for him, I don't know when, I won't be able to reshape my body, or I don't know when. The souls that will disappear are much better.
"Ancestor, you have a really good attitude. Chen Ran said.
". ”
Hengba Ancestor said angrily: "It's all come to this point, what can I do if I don't have a good mentality? There is no other way than to accept the reality, right?"
"I knew this was the case, I wasn't like a demon back then, so crazy to pursue a higher realm, wouldn't it be good to transform into a god?"
"Alas, I regret not being at the beginning. ”
Listening to the long sigh of the Hengba Old Ancestor, Chen Ran wanted to laugh a little in his heart.
It's not difficult to dominate the Ancestor.
Chen Ran decided to take Hengba Ancestor first to see his wife and daughter, and then come back, and then go to the people of the Tomb God Sect to settle the account.
In this way, even if Chen Ran encounters an obstacle that cannot be solved, he can immediately lead someone to forcibly break through, and there will be nothing left out.
"Don't run around with you and Chu Chu in the afternoon. It's around here. ”
"I'll go out and run some errands, and I'll wait until I come back to you. ”
Before Chen Ran left, he told Zhou Qingyu.
Although Zhou Qingyu has a bit of a skinny personality, Chen Ran knows that she is not Wang Tongtong's kind of person who likes to act without permission.
With her here to protect Jing Chuchu, Chen Ran can also leave with peace of mind.
Hearing that Chen Ran was leaving, Zhou Qingyu immediately asked curiously where Chen Ran was going.
The identity of the ancestor is somewhat special.
Therefore, Chen Ran has not told others about his existence at present, and it is not good to talk to Zhou Qingyu directly at this time, but he just prevaricated with a few casual words.
It's not that he can't trust Zhou Qingyu, but this matter is a long story and too troublesome to explain.
What's more, the person who dominates the ancestor must have offended many people during his lifetime.
If his existence is leaked out, I am afraid that there will be countless strong people in Kunxu to hunt him down.
Although Chen Ran has the strength of the Yuanying Four Realms, he can't resist the joint efforts of so many Kunxu powerhouses, so if he can not reveal the existence of the Tyrant Ancestor, Chen Ran doesn't want to reveal it.
According to Hengba Old Ancestor, he also mastered a top-level sect in his previous hands: Hengba Sect.
I don't know how.
But back then, Hengba Zong was the first major sect in Kunxu, a famous one.
Countless famous nobles, high-ranking officials and nobles also want to send their children to the Hengba Sect, just to get the protection of the ancestor of the Hengba.
Even though he had been absent from the sect for a long time, Hengba Ancestor still believed that even if his disciples achieved nothing, they would be able to maintain the sect until now just by eating the old roots of the sect.
Even if it is no longer a top-level sect, there should still be first-tier and second-tier sects.
Therefore, Hengba Ancestor wanted Chen Ran to go to the original site of his sect first.
Because he was not very familiar with the terrain of Kunxu, Chen Ran did not walk fast, but fortunately, the sect of the ancestor was not particularly far away from where they were. Soon, Chen Ran found the location of the mountain gate.
Looking at the side of the mountain gate, there was a stone tablet with three clear characters written on it, and the ancestor of Hengba sighed:
"I don't think so. ”
"Hengbazong is really still there. ”
"Hurry up and go up the mountain to see, my wife and daughter should be on the mountain!"
Hengba Ancestor's tone was already a little excited.
"Okay, okay, what's the hurry, you're at the door anyway. ”
"You've been waiting for so many years, you're still a little bit away?"
Chen Ran said with a smile.
Under the mountain gate of Hengba Sect, there is a lively town.
The town is naturally under the protection of the Hengba Sect. As a price, each of their families needs to pay construction funds to the Hengba Sect.
It can also be called a protection fee.
This phenomenon is not uncommon in Kunxu.
Almost every major sect gate has such a small town, or a commercial street.
The prosperity here is beyond Chen Ran's imagination.
If it weren't for the Hengba Ancestor's impatience, Chen Ran would have wanted to walk around here and experience the customs.
After going up the mountain, it didn't take long for Chen Ran to be stopped by a mountain patrol disciple.
"What do you do?"
"Further on, it's our sect's powerhouse. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter. The disciple glanced Chen Ran up and down, and said with a frown.
The attitude is a little cold.
It can even be said that it is bad.
Of course, Chen Ran didn't have time to care about this, he asked the name of Hengba Ancestor's daughter clearly, and then asked the mountain patrol disciple, "I'm here to find someone." ”
"Do you know Dongfang Lan?"
"She's my friend, and I'm looking for her for something. ”
The mountain patrol disciple was stunned for a moment: "Dongfang Lan, I haven't heard of this person, you can go back." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Ran was also stunned.
Then, he asked Hengba Ancestor, "Are you sure your daughter's name is Dongfang Lan?"
"Yes, I gave her the name myself, there can't be a mistake, I remember it very clearly!"
"That's weird. ”
"Could it be that your wife changed your daughter's name after you left?"
Chen Ran asked.
"This is impossible!" Hengba Old Ancestor shook his head again: "I know her, even if she remarries someone else, she will not change my daughter's name!"
"That's weird. ”
Chen Ran saw that the mountain patrol disciple was leaving, and immediately stopped him again.
"What else is going on with you?"
The disciple was impatient.
"Brother, if you recall it again, there must be this person in your sect, she is the daughter of your previous sect master. ”
Chen Ran suddenly regretted a little, he didn't have much preparation when he went out.
I knew that he should have brought more spirit stones. Maybe you can buy off the disciples who patrol the mountains and go into the sect to find it in person.
"We don't have this person in our sect. ”
"I am a disciple of the mountain patrol, I remember it most clearly, and there are no registered disciples. ”
"Let's go. ”
The disciple of the mountain patrol said and pushed Chen Ran away. Go in another direction.
"It shouldn't be. ”
Hengba Old Ancestor was puzzled: "Before I left, I entrusted my disciples to help me take care of their mother and son. ”
"Hengba Sect is still here, how can they not be on the mountain?"
"Could it be that they have left the sect?"
Chen Ran thought for a moment.
With his strength. It is true that you can sneak into the Hengba Sect without alarming the disciples of the mountain patrol and secretly.
But in this way, it doesn't make much sense.
He is completely unclear about the layout of the sect, not to mention the ancestor of Hengba, although this is his previous sect, but after such a long time, there are vicissitudes here, things are not people, where can he recognize which is where.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ran said to Hengba Ancestor: "Why don't we go down the mountain and ask? I'll take you into the sect and look for it again. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it. ”
Hengba Ancestor sighed.
For some reason, a very bad premonition began to float in his heart.
On the other side, Chen Ran went down the mountain and began to ask for someone.
Originally, he didn't have much hope.
After all, if the other party is no longer in Hengbazong, then the possibility of being in the town is actually even more remote.
However, Chen Ran didn't expect that he would really let him inquire.
"Dongfang Lan?"
"There is a noodle restaurant in the east of the town, it seems that there is a girl who works part-time and is named Dongfang Lan, you go and see, is she the person you are looking for? ”
An aunt who sells vegetables said.
"Part-time job?"
Chen Ran was stunned for a moment.
Then, I was a little disappointed in my heart: "Probably the same name and surname." ”
Anyway, Dongfang Lan is also the daughter of Hengba Ancestor.
How could she possibly work in a shop at the foot of the Hengba Sect?
No matter how downcast the Heng Sect is, it won't reach this level, right?
What's more, on the surface, the Hengba Sect is still prosperous, what does Dongfang Lan think. It's not going to get to that point.
However, this is also a clue.
Chen Ran followed the path pointed out by the other party and came to the noodle restaurant.
"Hello, may I ask what you would like to eat?"
Chen Ran just entered the door not long ago. A handsome woman walked out and asked Chen Ran.
"A bowl of clear noodle soup is all it takes. ”
"By the way, I want to ask, do you have a girl in your store named Dongfang Lan? ”
Chen Ran asked.
"Dongfang Lan?"
The woman was stunned for a moment. Then he said, "I am, do you have anything to do with her?"
This time it was Chen Ran's turn to be dumbfounded.
On the face of it, this woman is still very young, at most in her early thirties.
How could she be Dongfang Lan?
Even if the women in Kunxu stay in youth much longer than the women in the secular world, they won't grow to this point!
Chen Ranke remembered that Hengba Ancestor said that he had been away from Kunxu for almost a hundred years.
The woman in front of her didn't look like a hundred-year-old at all!
Just to be on the safe side. Chen Ran still asked first: "That...... Can you take the liberty of asking, how old are you this year?"
Hearing this abrupt question, the other party immediately frowned.
For women, age can be described as a big taboo.
However, it seems to be a concern. As Chen Ran's guest, she could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart and replied, "Thirty-four years old, is there any problem?"
"I didn't ...... No. Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "You go get busy." ”
Be all abroad.
The woman said something in her heart, and then began to work.
"Ancestor, we are looking for the wrong one. ”
"She's not your daughter. ”
"Why don't I take you into the sect in a while?"
Chen Ran asked.
However, Hengba Ancestor seemed to be asleep, and he didn't reply for a long time.
Chen Ran waited for a while, and then asked, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?" Next, where are we going to find it?" ”
"No need to look for it. ”
Hengba Ancestor took a deep breath.
His tone was very complicated: "The girl just now is my daughter." ”
