Chapter 14 Zhao Hong's plan
The Qin family's attention to this one hundred and eight Qin ancestor statues is completely comparable to the survival of the family, ancestor worship is a way that can unite the hearts of the Qin people, and the one hundred and eight Qin ancestor statues are the most critical props in this ceremony.
It is a symbol of the spirit.
The Qin family can be said to take good care of these statues, and never dare to damage them.
These statues were originally kept separately in some of the most powerful Qin families around the world.
Every year when the day of ancestor worship comes, the Qin family goes to the nearest area one after another to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.
Over the years, only one statue has been damaged, and the specific reason is unknown, but I heard that there is a mysterious power in the statue of Qin Zu, and the damaged place actually grew again. It's magical. There have been rumors that these statues can repair themselves, but no one has ever tried it, and no one dares to test it. Even if you try it, you will never let anyone else know.
After the catastrophe of the dead, a large number of Qin Zu statues disappeared, and it is very likely that they have been destroyed by the corpse demons. The Qin family is also looking for it according to the distribution of the city in the past, but some places have become forbidden areas for human beings and they have no ability to find them, and some places that can be gone are not all harvested, but some have been recovered, and now among the one hundred and eight Qin ancestor statues, only 31 are still retained by the Qin family.
Cities in the Obsidian Empire have also become scarce. However, for the sake of safety, the statues of Qin Zu in the city did not move again and were still placed in the city, and those statues of Qin Zu who were found back were transported to the capital of the Obsidian Empire for proper placement.
Zhao Hong stared at the statue of Qin Zu for a while, only to feel that the statue was lifelike, and stared at it for a while, as if he wanted to come back to life. It can be seen that the craftsmen who carved these statues at that time were really highly skilled, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are even superb.
Zhao Hong suddenly raised the battle knife in his hand, gathered the talisman energy on the battle knife, and suddenly slashed at the statue of the ancestor of the Qin clan.
This knife swept across the waist, and by looking at the posture, he knew that he was going to cut off the statue.
Although the knife in Zhao Hong's hand is not good, it is a rune war knife after all, and the statue of Qin Zu is nothing more than a stone.
This knife, of course, can cut off the statue of Qin Zu.
This is what Zhao Hong didn't expect, this statue doesn't seem to be carved from ordinary stone, because the hardness of this stone is amazing.
Zhao Hong's condensation talisman was on top of the battle knife, and he raised the knife and swept across the waist of the statue of Qin Zu, thinking that it could be cut in two, but he only cut out a hole the size of half a palm, and the war knife in his hand was stuck in the waist of the statue of Qin Zu, and he could no longer move forward, so he was stuck.
"What is this! It's so hard, it can actually resist the charm and slash!"
In the environment where Zhao Hong is now, although the material is hard and heavy, there are still very few stones that can resist the talisman energy, and those stones that have the ability to resist the attack of the talisman can almost be called by name, and they can basically be distinguished.
But the statue in front of me is clearly carved from an ordinary stone, the same size as a person. It's not special, but it can resist the spell of the charm, which is really an outlier.
The war knife was stuck in the gap of the statue of Qin Zu, and Zhao Hong pulled it out with a force.
"Forget it, that's fine, as long as it's broken, it's enough, it doesn't have to be completely damaged. My purpose is just to find a reasonable excuse to kill, and then make some noise, so that the upper authorities can remember my existence, in this way, with my cultivation speed, I can lurk for a while, and make a splash, and when the time comes, the people above will be impressed by me, and I will have the opportunity to improve my status, get more training, and get more resources. ”
Zhao Hong's purpose is very simple, to damage the statue of Qin Zu, and then blame the people of the Xia Capital Shang Alliance, so that Zhao Hong has an excuse to kill all the people who came over this time.
Before, it was the Shang Alliance who came to kill Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong had no excuse, although killing someone was self-preservation, but the people at the top would not care about the lives of the people below, they only looked at the overall situation. So Zhao Hong died secretly, it didn't matter, and the above might not even care.
And Zhao Hong wanted to ask for a living, so he killed someone, but he made a mistake, because that would offend the mysterious master with a certain status in the Shang Alliance, which would not be good for the Qin family.
If Zhao Hong really kills these people, the best result is to be imprisoned and accept family law, and the greatest possibility is to be secretly handed over to the mysterious master with a high status, so that the master can secretly deal with Zhao Hong, and use Zhao Hong's life to dissipate the anger of the mysterious master, so as to achieve the purpose of solving the problem privately without anyone knowing.
As for whether Zhao Hong was wronged, whether he fought back because his life was threatened, whether those people had a way to die, whether Zhao Hong was right or wrong, it doesn't matter.
The people above can just find a false excuse and prevaricate.
If a person with power wants to kill a subordinate, there are ways to frame some crimes, or even find a plausible reason.
Anyway, a few words can convince everyone that the dead people are heinous and unspeakable evildoers.
This is the big picture, Zhao Hong is caught up in it and is destined to become a victim.
But after damaging the statue of Qin Zu, things were different.
1. If only one Qin Gui dies, then he is also dead, maybe Qin Gui's father will make some moves, but the Qin family will not move.
But the statue of Qin Zu was damaged, and when Qin Gui saw that the statue of his ancestor was damaged, he was filled with righteous indignation and killed the enemy in anger.
The nature of the matter changed. Qin Gui's life and death is a trivial matter, the Qin family's high-level leaders don't care, and Qin Gui's angry killing of the enemy for the statue of Qin Zu is a major event that is enough to shake the upper echelons of the Qin family.
The matter was so big that Zhao Hong couldn't predict its outcome. The results can be good or bad. That's why Zhao Hong said that this is a big gamble.
However, Zhao Hong didn't hope that the upper echelons of the Qin family could let Qin Gui go, no matter what, it was Qin Gui who led the enemy to the statue of Qin Zu, which was also guilty. What Zhao Hong hopes is that when the Qin family deals with this major matter, it will be slower, and it is best to delay it for a year and a half. Give Zhao Hong time to practice.
If the Qin family does not move Zhao Hong and gives Zhao Hong time after this incident, then Zhao Hong will have the confidence to use Qin Gui's physical talent to make great progress, and then make a splash.
After the Qin family saw Qin Gui's earth-shattering talent, they should immediately turn around, after all, from the perspective of family interests, it is definitely not a good idea to kill a peerless demon who killed the Qin family's enemies in order to protect the statue of Qin Zu.
