Chapter 2: The Mysterious Ancestral Tomb
The sound came, like thunder, and everyone was shocked by severe pain in their eardrums, buzzing, and it didn't go away for half a day.
And Ning An's Ascending Dragon Tengyun Strike was also dissipated by the shaking aura, and the condensed power also dissipated and turned into invisible.
Ning Bufan took this opportunity to quickly take a step back, dodging Ning An's fatal blow, and was secretly afraid in his heart. Although he didn't plan to escape, he still knew that if he lost his life in the hands of a chief guard, it would be too worthless.
Ning An's proud attack was unexpectedly dispersed by a voice, and he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked back. When he saw the faces of the people who came, he couldn't speak, so he could only stop honestly.
The person who came was an old man, with a white beard and hair, but his eyes were a little cloudy.
Speaking of which, he is not a member of the Ning tribe, but he has a high status among the Ning people. Because he was the servant of the old patriarch back then, and the relationship was excellent, almost the same as a sworn brother. His qualifications are unmatched in today's Ning clan, except for the Great Elder.
What's even more daring to underestimate is that this old man's cultivation is even more unfathomable, although he rarely does it, but according to some people's legends, his strength can be ranked in the top five or even the top three among the Zaining clan.
"Elder Hong!" Ning An's face moved, and he shouted honestly. The surrounding guards also hurriedly saluted.
In the face of Hong Lao, give them a hundred more dares, and they don't dare to be presumptuous.
"What's so noisy?" said Elder Hong sharply.
"If you go back to Elder Hong, the young patriarch wants to break in......" Ning An didn't dare to say that he wanted to take the opportunity to do something to Ning Bufan, so he could only quibble.
"Huh?" Hong Lao also frowned when he heard this funny words. Although he has a high status, he is a foreign surname after all, and generally does not interfere in the affairs of the Ning people.
However, he also knew that Ning Bufan, the "notorious" young patriarch of the Ning clan, also knew that the elders would be furious because Ning Bufan did not participate in the ancestor worship, and even issued a ban on him, not allowing him to return to his house for three days.
"Let him in. Hong Lao said coldly.
"But......" Ning An said in embarrassment, sweating profusely. Even the Great Elder has a lot of respect for Elder Hong, how dare he, a head of the guard, be presumptuous?
But this ban was given by the Great Elder himself!
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Hong Lao looked over with cloudy eyes. Just a glance, Ning An, who was frightened, took a few steps back, not daring to speak again.
"Forget it, it's their high-level business anyway, I can't anger Elder Hong. Ning Anxin said secretly, and got out of the way with a smiling face.
"You, come in with me. Hong Lao said a word, then turned around and left.
Ning Bufan was stunned for a while, only to know that Hong Lao was talking about himself. There was something strange in his heart, he didn't know this old man well before, and he basically didn't talk much. And with Elder Hong's qualifications in the Ning clan, he must also be very dissatisfied with himself, the young patriarch.
Why did you suddenly help him today?
But in any case, the most important thing is to find the location of the ancestral tomb among the people first. There must be a book in the Ning tribe that records these things.
Ning Bufan was about to walk in with him, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked towards Ning San and helped him up. However, as soon as he touched Ning San, he snorted in pain, obviously because he was not lightly injured.
What he didn't see was that Hong Lao also stopped and waited for him inside the door, with a hint of imperceptible appreciation in his cloudy eyes.
"Less...... Young Patriarch, leave me alone......" Ning San said painfully.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, honestly. Ning Bufan scolded and helped Ning San into the gate of Ning Mansion.
The two walked into the gate, and when they passed by the group of guards, Ning An suddenly came up and whispered: "Young patriarch, I'm afraid your days of glory in the future are numbered." When the elders remove your young patriarch, you are not even as good as a dog. ”
Ning Bufan's body stiffened, and he turned around and said coldly: "Aren't you just a watchdog now? ”
Ning An wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a sharp gaze. He knew that it was Hong Lao's, so he hurriedly retreated, just glancing at Ning Bufan viciously.
"Come with the old man. ”
Ning Bufan nodded, called a few maids from the side, and took Ning San to treat his injuries. He honestly followed behind Hong Lao.
Walking through the garden of Ning Mansion, Hong Lao walked to the backyard and suddenly turned around.
"Elder Hong?" Ning Bufan didn't dare to speak much, but asked suspiciously.
"You want to pay tribute to your father, don't you?" asked Hong Lao lightly.
"Exactly. In front of the fierce gaze of the old man in front of him, Ning Bufan only felt that he couldn't hide it at all. That kind of strong man's breath made it a little difficult for him to breathe.
Hong Lao nodded, the kid in front of him was finally not wasted to the bones.
Hong Lao seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, so he didn't have a surprised expression when he heard this, he just was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "You go." The ancestral tomb of the Ning people is fifty miles west of Wuyang City, through a jungle in the middle, and then in a valley twenty miles to the south. It's very hidden, so you'll have to look closely. ”
"However, hundreds of people and horses of the Ning tribe have just been there, and they will definitely leave some traces, and it should not be difficult to find. ”
Ning Bufan was overjoyed when he heard this. Hong Lao has helped a lot, and he didn't expect that in this kind of crisis, the one who helped him was this old man who he didn't respect much on weekdays. For a while, Ning Bufan felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Don't thank the old man, the old man is also thinking about the Ning family, I hope you won't let us down. Hong Lao said softly, as if he was recalling something.
But Ning Bufan's heart had already drifted to the ancestral tomb at this moment, and he didn't think carefully about Hong Lao's words.
"Yes, Elder Hong. In the past, the kid was not sensible, but this time, I will definitely not be underestimated. Ning Bufan saluted, then asked the servant to lead a good horse, and rushed towards the Wuyang City Gate without looking back.
Not long after he left, inside the gate of the Ning Mansion, a young man with a rude-faced face walked out.
"Ning Meng's son!" Ning An, who was guarding outside the gate, saw the young man and hurriedly walked over, with a smile on his face.
This young man is Ning Meng, the son of the three elders, who is only fourteen years old, but his talent is the highest among the younger generation of the Ning clan, and now he has reached the double level of the True Yuan Realm.
He is conceited of his talent and strength, and he has always thought that he should be the young patriarch of the Ning clan, so he is most disgusted with Ning Bufan.
"That waste went to the ancestral tomb?" Ning Meng said coldly.
"yes, just left. Ning Menggongzi, his subordinates can't help it, it was Hong Lao who pointed him the way. Ning An was afraid that he would blame, so he hurriedly defended.
"It's okay...... Ning Meng waved his hand and said coldly: "This is a good opportunity." ”
"Huh?" Ning An said in confusion.
"Stupid, find two guards, follow him, and ......" Ning Meng's slightly immature eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, which was very inconsistent with his age.
"The subordinates understand. Ning An laughed.
........................
A secluded and secluded valley, surrounded by high mountains, clear streams flowing down, and some rare spirit beasts can be seen everywhere in the valley. These spirit beasts are very rare, and if they are hunted and put up for auction outside, they will be a lot of money.
Even a layman can tell that this is a good place, with birds and flowers, and excellent feng shui.
Ning Bufan relied on his memory and spent half a day to come here.
The cemetery is in the middle of the valley, and you can vaguely see a strong milky white aura converging in the sky above, forming a wonderful pattern, but it quickly dissipates and becomes invisible.
"Sure enough, it's a good place, it seems that the ancestors of our Ning clan have a very good vision. Ning Bufan muttered to himself.
"Daddy's grave?"
Ning Bufan searched for a while, and finally found a grave made of stones.
Although his father Ning Feng is the patriarch, because he comes from the sub-clan, he can't enter the main tomb in the most central area, so he can only build a cemetery around. But Ning Bufan didn't care about that.
Because Ning Feng's cultivation was extraordinary, even after his death, his tomb was still extraordinary, his momentum was transcendent, and countless spiritual qi converged towards the tomb.
He walked over slowly, recalling the time when he was a child in his father's arms, and his eyes turned red.
took out the offerings and placed them on the ground, Ning Bufan knelt down and kowtowed a few times. After a while, I realized that I couldn't remember what my father looked like?
"Hey!" he sighed heavily.
Nowadays, the memory of his father is getting less and less, but he still remembers the words that his father said before he died, and it is very clear.
"Son, you hang around all day long, except for being handsome, you don't look like your father and mine. In the future, I am afraid that I will be bullied to death in the clan. If you want not to lose your father's face, our Ning ancestral tomb is your only chance. ”
Ning Bufan smiled bitterly.
"Daddy died strangely back then, and left such an unclear sentence, which really killed me. However, my father will never harm me, and for so many years, I have been asking the elders what is in the ancestral tomb of the Naning tribe? Ning Bufan was very anxious in his heart.
In the past, every time he came to the ancestral tomb to pay respects, Ning Bufan did not forget to quietly investigate, but every time he found nothing.
This time he still stood up and walked back and forth around, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything.
"It's a good place, but it doesn't look like a secret?"
Just when Ning Bufan had no choice but to give up, he suddenly stepped on a big pit under his feet, he screamed, and fell towards his father's grave without standing firmly.
At this moment, he is standing quite high, if he hits the cemetery firmly, I am afraid that he will not have to go back today, and he will be with his father forever.
But at this moment, there was a sudden movement in Ning Feng's cemetery, and in an instant, an invisible force condensed over the tomb, and those milky white spiritual qi formed a cloud and bloomed.
"Oops!"
Ning Bufan landed right on the cloud, and a comfortable feeling spread to all parts of his body.
He felt very strange in his heart, and hurriedly stood up, only to find that the cloud suddenly condensed into a white light, and rushed towards his eyes.
"What the hell, don't come here!"
"Dad, you're dead, don't scare your son, I'm scared to death, I can only go to accompany you!"
Ning Bufan screamed in fright, and hurriedly ran away. But the strength of his three veins in the Void Spirit Realm was nothing in front of the wonderful white light.
He only felt a sharp pain in his forehead, but after a while, nothing happened.
Ning Bufan stood up with palpitations and touched his head.
"What's going on? Is Daddy blaming me for coming too late and punishing me?"
Ning Bufan muttered, just glanced back at his father's grave, but found that the mass of aura coiled above the tomb had all disappeared. The cemetery has become an ordinary place, and there is nothing special about it.
At the same time, a hot breath exploded on his forehead, and Ning Bufan's head was in severe pain, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
"It's ...... What a strong aura!"
