Chapter III
Thinking about it, Luo Yixuan had already walked to the elder's door unconsciously, and an old man came out of it, suddenly saw him, stopped there, his already somewhat cloudy eyes were filled with tears, and the wrinkles on his face were wet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uh...... You...... How can we help? Luo Yixuan suddenly held back such a sentence.
The old man nodded vigorously and quickly shook again, and was just about to speak when he was hit by another old man who came out from behind, and without waiting for Luo Yixuan to help, the two trotted away.
"Is Mr. Luo here? Come on in! With the words, the figure of the elder appeared at the door, Luo Yixuan took two steps to meet him, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is in the mountains to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the old people are so vigorous!" β
Originally, it was just a sentence of emotion, but the elder's expression was a little solemn, and his smile was far-fetched: "Sit down!" β
I don't know if it touched other people's taboos, Luo Yixuan sat down and stopped making a sound, maybe he felt the change in the atmosphere, the elder poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, and he laughed first, but when he was about to speak, he became embarrassed again: "They ...... Not an old man. β
"Huh?" Luo Yixuan didn't expect to hear such a sentence, his eyes followed him to the inside and took the booklet out again, and landed on the page he opened, there was a photo on it, it was the old man who was crying just now, and next to him was his basic situation - Gao Xu, 21 years old?!
"This?" He raised his head, and the elder turned another page, this one is somewhat familiar, it should be the one who came out later, Gao Shiqiang, 25 years old! The elder turned it over again, and he left the one who led the way, Yang Hong, 19 years old!
The more Luo Yixuan looked at it, the more strange he became, and he couldn't help but look at it, a thick booklet, there were men and women in it, all of them were an old face with an incredibly young age.
"What does that mean?"
"That's what you see." The elder's expression became more and more heavy, and even when he sat down, he seemed to be overwhelmed, "Four out of five of us here will have such a situation, and they will die of old age before they live to be 30 years old!" β
"Sick?"
"Sickness can still be cured, but theyβ" The elder sighed, "I don't know how much the Divine Monarch told you about our village before you came, our whole village is a family, our ancestors are descendants of the ancient Xuan Emperor, and they keep the ancestral treasure bottle and the Three Realms Secrets, which have been coveted by the wrongdoers for generations."
At first, the ancestors were strong and could protect themselves, but once they encountered a strong enemy, and after a massacre, they were almost wiped out, leaving only a boy, Gao Yangjue, barely surviving, and we people are all his descendants.
Since him, in order to keep the treasure bottle and secrets, we dare not show our heads again, and divide our ancestral surname Gao Yang into two, the odd surname Gao in the family, and the even surname Yang, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, hunting and farming for a living, but even so, it has not been exempt from all kinds of theft and pursuit. β
The elder paused when he said this, the light in his eyes trembled, although he had never seen their experience, but Luo Yixuan could imagine how unbearable it was, what he himself had experienced now, many years later, if he was still alive, he should not want to think about it, so he didn't speak, and quietly waited for the elder to calm down.
After a while, the elder took a sip of tea and swallowed vigorously: "The most critical time was more than forty years ago, that is, the group of people who poisoned you now, the leader is called Xu Chaochan, who was not yet thirty years old at the time, he pretended to be a seller and knew the patriarch well, and he did what he liked, and soon became a close friend, fortunately, the patriarch was alert, and it didn't take long to find out his motive for spying on the secret."
Xu Chaocia couldn't be confused, and his true form was revealed, and he caught the only son of the patriarch who had just been born, and summoned his accomplices to kill the patriarch in the village. He and the child were seriously injured in the fight, and in the end, he managed to fight his way through most of the people and escape here.
However, due to the severe injury, the patriarch can no longer have children, and the only child is hanging by a thread, which means that the treasure bottle and secrets will be inherited! In desperation, the patriarch went to the god king and begged him to save the child in exchange for a vase.
Shenjun really deserves to be a god, the child was actually dead when he was sent, he really saved him, but life and death cannot be reversed, the child recovered for ten years and then slept for thirty years, and continued to grow up as his own son after waking up. Even so, we are grateful to Dade, and we have finally continued the bloodline of our family! β
"Can't other children? Your family is also prosperous. Luo Yixuan flipped through the booklet casually, although it was too cold to think like that, it was still a little incomprehensible to risk exchanging a vase for the life of a dead child.
The elder shook his head: "No, the secret is only passed on to the eldest son, this is the ancestral teaching!" β
"Can the one who holds the secret be the patriarch?"
"That's nature!"
"Then your current patriarch is still the same one back then?" The more Luo Yixuan listened, the more wrong he became, although he didn't want to, he still had to have questions.
"This ......" the elder hesitated for a moment, then stood up and closed the door, lowering his voice, "No, you are not from your own clan, and you are here to help us, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." β
Luo Yixuan was also nervous by him: "The child has grown up? β
"The child hasn't grown up yet!" The elder slapped the table suddenly, "The forty-year period arrived a few years ago, but the child is still so old that he has no intention of waking up at all, but from the day the period expires, strange things begin to happen in the clan, many children in their teens and twenties grow faster and faster, one day at a time, as you can see, after a few years of hard work, the village is almost full of old people, and we are the few who have not been affected, and we are trying our best to continue their lives."
Especially the patriarch, he has the highest mana, understands the most, and is also the one with the greatest energy consumption, he himself is already an old man of nearly eighty years old, and his health was already very bad a year ago, plus he was worried about his son, and he wanted to find Shenjun for help again but he couldn't get out of his body due to internal and external troubles, and he was exhausted, and he was bedridden for a while.
But suddenly one day, he was completely well, and the whole clan naturally rejoiced, but I had the most contact with him in the clan, and obviously felt that many subtleties were different from before, and I had doubts in my heart, and I tried with the previous things, and he really couldn't answer the reason. β
"Then why are you ......?"
"Now is a time of crisis in the clan, once the news of the change of the patriarch spreads, it will inevitably cause great confusion, and I have observed that this person is still as dedicated as the old patriarch before, maybe this is the old patriarch's hard work."
Luo Yixuan nodded, his heart was somewhat steady, but he didn't dare to let go in one breath, fortunately Shui Li was aware of it, otherwise they were really trapped here, but when he came, could he help them get out of the predicament?
