A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

Old Man Xiao was in a very good mood today, and when he saw Xiao Jin take out a bank card, he asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Jin said: "This is the 50 million you asked the third brother to give me that day, Zhang Qian confiscated it, let me return the money to you!"

Old Man Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Oh, he doesn't want this money?"

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "Yes, yesterday I called him to my house and told him about the 'Golden Ebony', I thought I could solve the matter amicably, but ......"

At this point, he suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

Old Man Xiao asked, "But what?" The expression on his face did not change much, and he was still immersed in the joy of Xiao Jun's promotion.

Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment, and then said honestly: "Zhang Qian, he doesn't plan to forget it like this, listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he can't get along with our Xiao family!"

"Oh?" Old Man Xiao said with a little surprise when he heard this: "He wants to get along with our Xiao family?"

After speaking, he couldn't help but feel funny, and a look of contempt appeared on his face, and he said: "He is a young man, why dare to go against our Xiao family?

Xiao Jin said: "I also persuaded him like this, but he didn't listen to my advice, and he didn't accept the money, it seems that he has made up his mind!"

Old Man Xiao waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "Okay, it's normal for young people to know the height of the sky, since he doesn't accept this money, then you can return the money to the third child!"

He didn't take this matter to heart, Zhang Qian, a young man without any background, was just a little more skilled in medicine, even if he wanted to go against the Xiao family, how could he move the Xiao family?

Since you don't want the 50 million compensation, then forget it, you can still save 50 million for the Xiao family.

Xiao Jin glanced at Old Man Xiao and pleaded for Zhang Qian: "Dad! Zhang Qian is young and ignorant, and he has such thoughts, you don't want to be like him! Originally, the matter of 'Golden Ebony' was our fault, and it was normal for him to be angry in his heart! Anyway, he also cured your illness!"

Old Man Xiao smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will embarrass him? Do you really think that I am an old fool? Do you think that I don't know about this matter, and I am not doing it properly?"

He paused for a moment, and said with a somewhat helpless expression: "Actually, I don't want to do this kind of thing without believing in my words and going back on my word." ”

"It's really because 'Golden Ebony' is something left by my ancestors, you are young, you may not know what I think in my heart! When I reach my age, I will regard these things as very important, I am a person who is about to enter the earth, and the things left by my ancestors cannot be thrown away in my hands, otherwise what kind of face do I have, go to Jiuquan, and see our Xiao family ancestors?"

He sighed softly, and said: "How can I say that I am also in my seventies, and I am the head of the family, I am ashamed of such behavior for a young man to do this kind of thing, but if I change any other conditions, I will do what I say, but this matter makes me very embarrassed!"

Listening to Old Man Xiao's words, Xiao Jin suddenly felt in his heart, no wonder he felt that this matter, the old man was a little abnormal, unlike his usual personality, it turned out to be because of this.

Xiao Jun, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interjected and said: "Dad, what is the use of this 'golden ebony' you say? Since it can be handed down as an heirloom of our Xiao family, it must be very important, but it is a pity that the book left by the family only has a simple description and does not explain its purpose!"

Old Man Xiao said: "When I was young, I also inquired about the use of 'Golden Ebony' in many places, but those people had never even heard of the name of 'Golden Ebony', let alone knew its use!"

"I have studied it privately for a long time, and I only know that 'golden ebony' cannot be placed on people's bodies for a long time, and the yang energy is too heavy, which has a great impact on people's bodies. ”

Xiao Jun was puzzled: "Then what is the use of Zhang Qian asking for this 'golden ebony'?"

Old man Xiao said: "I don't know, when he treated me, I also asked him, he didn't say it explicitly, just vaguely told me that 'Golden Ebony' is harmful to ordinary people, and it is useless to stay in Xiao's house." ”

Xiao Jin asked with some puzzlement: "Zhang Qian is young, how does he know these things?"

Old Man Xiao shook his head and said: "This is also where I am confused, I suspect that Zhang Qian should have a master, a very old, erudite, highly skilled hermit master, Zhang Qian is from his master, know the use of 'Golden Ebony'! I guess, 'Golden Ebony' should be a very special medicinal material! That's why Zhang Qian wants to get it so much!"

Xiao Jin nodded, and only this kind of guess could be explained.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Xiao Jun had a meeting in the afternoon, so he left Old Man Xiao's house first.

It didn't take long for Xiao Jin to leave here and go back to the army.

Old Man Xiao sat alone in the hall for a while, then got up and walked to his bedroom, and in the safe in the bedroom cabinet, he took out a jade box.

The color of the jade box is dark red, warm to the touch, and there is a faint luster flowing on the surface, which is a fine piece of igneous jade.

What is contained in the jade box is the ancestral thing of the Xiao family, 'Golden Ebony'.

Old Man Xiao carefully opened the lid of the jade box, and a burning sensation suddenly emanated from the inside of the box.

A palm-sized, dark gray piece of wood lay quietly in the center of the jade box, constantly emitting streams of heat.

No one could have imagined that such a small piece of inconspicuous-looking dark gray wood would be the third most sunny thing in the universe.

Countless monks, including Zhang Qian, were eager to obtain the supreme treasure of the universe.

Old Man Xiao stretched out his hand and took the 'Golden Ebony' out of the middle jade box, and a powerful Yang power suddenly entered his palm.

Old Man Xiao's body instantly became hot, he was not a cultivator, he didn't know how to absorb this Yang power in his body, if he was affected by this power for a long time, the blood in his body would gradually expand, and he wouldn't live long.

Holding the 'Golden Ebony' in his hand, in less than a minute, Old Man Xiao couldn't stand the influence of this powerful force and put it back into the jade box.

He sighed softly, and said with a somewhat depressed expression: "After all, I'm getting old, my health is getting worse and worse, and now I can't hold on for even a minute!"

I think back then, when he was young, it was okay to carry the 'Golden Ebony' with him all day, but now he can't hold on for even a minute.

In the end, he is old, and his body is no longer like it was back then, and some small problems that he didn't care about when he was young have now made him suffer.
