Chapter 25: Secret Talks
This is a secret room, if it wasn't for the ancestor of the Shen family who brought her, Shen Yuexue would never have thought that there would be such a large secret room under the square where she often came, and even swept the snow above it in winter.
Shen Yuexue looked around curiously, but the ancestor of the Shen family on the side was not in a hurry. Young people are inevitably curious, there are so many rare treasures in this house, even if they are strong-minded, they will be dazzled.
But the real situation is that Shen Yuexue should comment on the ugly decoration style of the house and the completely incompatible embellishments on the wall at the strong request of the little fox in her arms.
"Xiao Yue'er, have you seen it, that jade gourd is so ugly, how can such a thing be hung on the wall?"
The tone of October contempt sounded in Shen Yuexue's mind, especially the contempt in these words was still so real, Shen Yuexue said that she was embarrassed to hit such a kind and innocent child. The aesthetics of the little fox are really completely subverted and distorted, I don't know, whether this has anything to do with Jun Mo.
Shen Yuexue looked at the jade gourd that was said to be so ugly that it was miserable, the whole gourd was crystal clear, and the grass green color also made people feel comfortable, but they didn't know what it was used for.
"What, like this gourd?"
At this moment, the ancestor of the Shen family looked at Shen Yuexue's expression, where was there still a little bit of the fierceness just now, and seeing that Shen Yuexue liked the gourd on the wall, he raised his hand and took it down and handed it to Shen Yuexue's hand.
"This gourd was used by me to hold spiritual liquid in the past, and now it is useless, so pass it on to you."
Shen Yuexue looked at the gourd in her hand in a daze, and then looked at the little fox with a look of contempt, Shen Yuexue really wanted to accept it. Although the small bottle given to her by the little fox was more practical, the small bottle was not only messy in color, but also the shape was really not flattering, and even Hua Xiang was shocked when she saw it for the first time.
And this jade gourd, if it is placed on his waist, and with a long skirt with fluttering clothes, it is simply the image of the fairy he has fantasized about since childhood.
"If it's useless, the ancestor should take it back."
Shen Yuexue suddenly spoke, which made the ancestor of the Shen family stunned, what's wrong, she obviously liked it very much just now.
It's just because Shen Yuexue suddenly thought that she no longer had the 170 in her previous life, and she didn't have the former convex and backward curves, such a figure wearing a colorful flying fairy skirt, the picture was too beautiful to imagine. In an instant, the covetousness for the gourd dissipated.
Seeing that Shen Yuexue rejected the gourd without hesitation, the little fox's eyes narrowed slightly, and she changed her posture comfortably in Shen Yuexue's arms, or Xiao Yue'er has vision, how can such an ugly thing endure getting along with it day and night. The little fox believes that as long as it perseveres and continues to work hard, Shen Yuexue's aesthetics will be as good as herself sooner or later. I have to say, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.
"Girl, apart from this, are there anything else that catches your eye?" The ancestor of the Shen family asked,
Shen Yuexue came back to her senses when she heard this, what was going on, why was this tone so weird, it clearly seemed to be pleasing herself?
In an instant, Shen Yuexue understood what the ancestor of the Shen family meant, this was an apology to himself in disguise, just because, he had been wronged in the Shen family, but he had never given himself justice, because Shen Qian wanted to kill himself three times and twice, but he ignored it.
Shen Yuexue believed that if she was still a waste, maybe the ancestor of the Shen family would never find her, but when he found out, he was willing to lower his posture at any time to make her feel free of guilt, and the realm of this ancestor was not ordinarily high.
"Ancestor, you are so good, you also know that I have been a waste material qualification of five spiritual roots since I was a child, so everyone looks down on me and bullies me, I didn't expect you to be so fair, so selfless, it really makes Yuexue admire, my admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River, rushing to the sea and never returning."
As the saying goes, you don't wear a fart if you wear a thousand clothes, this ancestor of the Shen family made Shen Yuexue feel comfortable in a few words, and even her mood was much better. It's just that this sounds obedient, and what kind of river is the Yellow River, why hasn't he heard of it.
"Don't worry, the ancestor knows your grievances, from today onwards, no one in the entire Shen family will dare to give you grievances, and I will be your backer in the future."
Shen Yuexue saw that the Shen family's ancestor was buzzing with his chest, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart, it didn't seem good to lie to the old man. However, thinking of the anger she had suffered over the years, Shen Yuexue decided to try to be as light as possible for a while.
"Ancestor, you don't know, when you grow so big, I haven't seen what the silver given by the Shen family to buy cultivation materials looks like."
Shen Yuexue opened her mouth with a shy face, and the ancestor of the Shen family immediately blew his beard and glared: "Tomorrow, replace the person in charge of this item, these years have lost your silver, and the ancestor will let them give you double." ”
Shen Yuexue smiled and continued: "Ancestor, you don't know, I have never had my own storage bag when I grow so big, I have only seen Shen Feng's, Shen Sakura's, and Shen ......."
The ancestor of the Shen family didn't say a word, took out the storage bags in the box and placed them in front of Shen Yuexue in a row, letting her choose.
"Ancestor, you don't know, I've never seen any spiritual weapons when I've grown so big." Shen Yuexue continued.
The beard of the ancestor of the Shen family trembled, and he took off a jade pendant on his body distressedly, handed it to Shen Yuexue, and said with a smile on his face: "The first time you meet, it should be a meeting gift from the ancestor to you." ”
"Ancestor, you don't know, I've never seen ...... grow so big"
By the time Shen Yuexue put a bunch of messy things in front of him, the temples of the Shen family ancestor were already jumping around, and his old face was flushed, as if Shen Yuexue dared to ask for anything again, he would immediately die of anger.
Shen Yuexue looked at the things in front of her with a smile, although it was not very valuable, although it was not as good as the little fox gave herself, but this was all owed to her by the Shen family over the years, and she wanted to get it back no matter what. Of course, she also took the opportunity to loot a lot, thinking that the ancestor was old, Shen Yuexue decided to accept it when she saw it.
"Thank you Ancestor, the annoyance in Yuexue's heart has been expressed, if Ancestor has anything you want to ask, just ask, Yuexue will definitely know everything."
Looking at Shen Yuexue's obedient expression, the Shen family ancestor's face jumped, and then he looked at the already bare wall, and sighed in his heart. That's it, it's going to be given to them anyway, at least this girl is blatantly asking for it, unlike some people, who have to calculate everything.
"Ancestor is just curious, of course, you can not say it, Ancestor knows that monks such as us will always have such and such secrets. It's just that your cultivation speed is too fast, if all my Shen family disciples can have such a speed, then the Shen family will definitely rise. ”
Looking at the Shen family ancestor's red face with excitement and uncontrollable expression, Shen Yuexue knew in her heart that everything this old man had done, whether it was right or wrong, was for the future of the Shen family, and such an old man was also worthy of respect. The essential difference between the ancestor of the Shen family and Shen Qian is that he has no selfishness, and in his heart, the family is more important than everything.
"Ancestor, can I ask you a question as well?" Shen Yuexue asked without answering.
Seeing Shen Yuexue's face full of curiosity, the ancestor of the Shen family smiled and said, "Naturally, what do you want to ask?" ”
"I want to ask the ancestor, why do you know that Shen Qian is narrow-minded and selfish, but still hand over the Shen family, which you value the most and is the most important, to such a person."
Before Shen Yuexue's words fell, the face of the ancestor of the Shen family changed a few times, he didn't expect that Shen Yuexue could see through Shen Qian's essence so accurately, and even more at a glance.
"Hey, I won't hide it from you, Ancestor, I don't know that Shen Qian is not a good choice. Since your father disappeared, no one in the Shen family has been able to be the patriarch, and even until Shen Qian has built the foundation for many years, the Shen family has not produced another foundation building monk, and the ancestor I reluctantly passed the position of the head of the Shen family to him. ”
Shen Yuexue thought for a moment when she heard this, and said, "What does the ancestor mean is that as long as you reach the foundation, you can become the patriarch of the Shen family?" ”
The ancestor of the Shen family sighed again when he heard this, "I know that your aunt has already built the foundation, but she is still too young and is only in the early stage of foundation building, but Shen Qian has been in the middle stage of foundation building for many years, and your aunt can't beat Shen Qian." You must know that if the Shen family wants to continue to develop in Changyun City, it needs a strong leader, otherwise, sooner or later it will be eaten by the other two families. ”
Shen Yuexue understood what the ancestor of the Shen family meant, in order for the Shen family not to be swallowed up by other families, even if he knew Shen Qian's character, the ancestor of the Shen family still had to pass on the position of patriarch to him, and he had to work hard to maintain him.
"It's a pity, my time is running out, Ancestor, if you can give me more time, maybe I can wait until your father comes back, maybe I can wait until your aunt grows up."
According to Shen Yuexue's knowledge, the lifespan of a monk in the foundation building period can reach one hundred and fifty years old, why did the ancestor of the Shen family say that he was running out of time when he was not yet a hundred years old?
"Ancestor, have you ever thought that if you leave, what will happen to me and my aunt?" Shen Yuexue asked expressionlessly.
The ancestor of the Shen family froze when he heard this question, he knew that with Shen Qian's temperament, he would definitely be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. However, replacing Shen Qian now is really too fluctuating, and it is difficult to say whether the Shen family can withstand such a shock.
"Before I leave, I will arrange the whereabouts of you and your aunt, and you don't want to go back to Kyushu." The ancestor of the Shen family spoke with difficulty.
"But Ancestor, the Shen family is our root, not to mention, living a life in hiding is not what I want. The ancestor called me to appease me in every possible way today, just because he felt that I now had the strength to kill Shen Qian, but he didn't know my details, so he was swaying between me and Shen Qian, didn't he? Shen Yuexue asked.
"You little girl, you're really shrewd. Ancestor I waver, but you must know that for the sake of the Shen family, Ancestor can sacrifice everything. The ancestor of the Shen family had a resolute face at the moment, and his eyes when he looked at Shen Yuexue did not have the kindness just now, and the cold light flashed slightly.
"Ancestor doesn't need to scare me, if your body is fine, Shen Yuexue will not dare to be presumptuous here, but, as you said, your time is running out. Today, you have been patient several times when you want to make a move, if I didn't infer the mistake, the ancestor should have been seriously injured many years ago, and now I am afraid that he is already more than capable of strength. ”
The ancestor of the Shen family closed his eyes after listening to Shen Yuexue's words, and then he actually laughed, "It would be great if you were born ten years earlier, I can leave with peace of mind." It's just that now, you and Shen Qian have formed a mortal enmity, isn't my Shen family destined to prosper?! The Shen family ancestor looked a little tired.
"Ancestor, don't be angry, Yue Xue said something that shouldn't be said, you handed over the Shen family to Shen Qian's hands, it was even more tragic than letting the two major families annex it. Shen Qian was selfish to the extreme, and Yue Xue had no doubt that if there was a need, the Shen family would become a stepping stone for Shen Qian to reach a higher level, and maybe even an exchange. ”
Shen Yuexue's words shocked the ancestor of the Shen family, because he loved the Shen family and valued his worth, so he thought that everyone loved the Shen family, but he underestimated Shen Qian's selfishness. Is this really the case? Am I wrong?
"The ancestor also said that the Shen family needs a strong leader, so Yuexue will give the ancestor one. A month later, Yuexue's aunt will break through the early stage of foundation building and enter the middle stage of foundation building, and the ancestor thinks that such an aunt is enough to be the patriarch of the Shen family? ”
Shen Yuexue's words shocked the ancestor of the Shen family, one month, across three levels, how is this possible?! It's absolutely impossible!
