Chapter 216: Saving People
Two more days passed.
The eldest young master of the Lan family suddenly gathered a group of monks out of the city, threatening to smash the Lan family's Zhuangzi who handled spirit stones. This matter reached Lan Heting's ears, Lan Heting scolded a fool, and then hurried to the old man's study of the Lan family, I didn't know what to say to the old man and left in a hurry, and before going out, he took a look at Lan Batian, and Lan Heting passed by his father with an expressionless face.
Old Man Lan lost his temper and scolded Lan Batian, who came to the study, for a bloody time.
"What a hindrance! Why don't you go and get your unfilial son back for me, He Ting has already gone to Zhuangzi, you should go and help him now, lest the unfilial grandson use the identity of a brother to suppress He Ting. ”
"Father!" Lan Batian couldn't believe that his old man was unfilial and unfilial, and he scolded his own heart and liver. He didn't understand, Lan Heting was just a child born to him and a woman from a Fan family, and his qualifications were not as good as Lan Heli, why did the old man value him so much.
The most important thing is that this Lan Heting has always been close to Lan Batian, and he is jealous that Lan Batian did not introduce his mother into the Immortal Dao, causing that mortal girl to die early. Father and son are not of the same heart, how can Lan Batian be happy for Lan Heting to be favored for no reason.
"Father, I can't stop Li'er." Lan Batian bowed his head and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Smack!" An inkstone fell to the ground, Lan Batian only felt that the corners of his forehead twitched slightly, and the inkstone was specially sought by him for the old man's birthday, and he raised his eyes slightly, and saw that there was another good inkstone on the old man's desk. Lan Heli has never liked these things in the study, and he will not do what he likes. I think it must be Lan Heting's handiwork. Lan Batian was inexplicably emotional, he, as a father, had never received anything from his son.
After the old man scolded Lan Heli indiscriminately, he accused Lan Batian of teaching in a bad way, and he was effective from the top to the bottom. Lan Batian's head drooped lower and lower, and the anger in his heart also soared.
"Batian, you are good at everything, but you are too righteous and angry, and your unfilial son also follows you. It's nothing to be righteous, but in this era of heroes. A lot of things are just taken away by the brothers. There are some things I hide from you. Also for your own good. Think about it yourself, how big a person is, it's not as good as He Ting to see it thoroughly. ”
Old Man Lan stopped talking and went out with his sleeves brushed up. It seems that he has to do it himself. can stop the unfilial children and grandchildren.
Lan Batian, who was kneeling in the study, was not as calm as his face. Speaking of which, the old man still didn't believe him, he worked hard for the Lan family. Although there is no performance, there is also hard work. Old Man Lan has no friends in his life, but he has Lan Batian, how can a real brother tolerate betrayal, Lan Batian doesn't believe in the old man's philosophy of life. The Lan family has fallen rapidly in recent years, and it is not because Old Man Lan has gone too far when he was young, and several other families who are old forces are unwilling to help, and even beat the water dogs.
As for Lan Heting, although Lan Batian is his father, he is not very familiar with it, but Lan Heli said that he and this second brother are not from a good place, Lan Heli has always loved to make friends, and he has never had any friends, Lan Heting and others can't get along, Lan Batian will naturally think that his second son has a problem. Over time, the estrangement between the two fathers and sons is getting deeper and deeper.
Seeing that Old Man Lan went out, Ah Umbrella and Wu Jiong sneaked into the Lan Mansion in a few flashes, and Jiufang told Ah Umbrella that there are only two Yuan Infant monks in the Lan Mansion now, one is Lan Batian, and the other is the elder of the Lan family. Jiufang covered the two of them with their divine souls, completely locking the breath of the two of them.
The two gradually approached the place where Xiao Shanmei was imprisoned, and although Wu Jiong had a strange smooth journey, he was only blamed on the hidden breath, and soon, the two of them rushed into a ground entrance.
"The door is open!?" Ah Umbrella stood at the door of the dungeon in shock, and said after a while, "If it was a trap, we would have been discovered a long time ago, so let's keep going." ”
Wu Jiong stopped Ah Umbrella's forward steps and walked to the front by himself, "Follow me." ”
Wu Jiong first stepped into a dark room near the entrance, and at this time the dark room was empty, only to see an almost transparent baby curled up on the small stone platform in the center, with a frightened face, I don't know whether he fell asleep or fainted.
"You wait outside, don't come in yet." Wu Jiong said, slowly approaching Xiao Shanmei, while paying attention to the situation around him, this room made him extremely uncomfortable.
There is still no danger, Wu Jiong reached out and touched the little mountain charm, although it was almost transparent, but it had a physical touch, but the coolness seemed to be able to freeze people through his fingertips.
Wu Jiong stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Shanmei, a sound of iron chains sounded, looked down carefully, Xiaoshan Mei had a wire tied around his neck, and looked closely, the wire seemed to be pulling something from Xiaoshan Mei's body. Wu Jiong pinched it hard, the tenacity of the wire was very strong, and Wu Jiong couldn't help it.
"Ah, come in."
As soon as the words fell, Ah Umbrella appeared in front of Wu Jiong, and suddenly saw the wire around Xiaoshan Mei's neck, and the wire was a little familiar to her.
"It's the soul lock silk, which is the same as the soul chain that tied the companion soul beast at the river of white bones and blood." Jiufang said, "This small wire, Jiufang Jade can cut it." ”
Hearing this, Ah Umbrella took off the jade crown, turned into a jade blade, and gently sawed off the wire in a few breaths. Wu Jiong watched with interest as Ah Umbrella quickly tied up his hair, but he thought it was an ordinary jade crown, but he looked away.
Holding the little mountain charm, the two quickly left the dark room, and as soon as they got out of the ground, they didn't take a few steps when they heard a loud shout-
"Where did the thief come from!?"
It's been discovered!
Lan Batian pondered in the study for a long time, he felt that it was not unreasonable that the Lan family's qi was exhausted, for hundreds of years, they had forgotten that the Lan family was not only their lineage, but also many collateral and subordinates. It's not nice to say, it's because Old Man Lan is too rigid and self-serving, so that he ignores the development of the whole clan, making the Lan family gradually corrupt; And he is too mediocre and gentle, and he can't support the mess of the Lan family after taking over.
Now that Old Man Lan and Lan Heting are conspiring, Lan Ba Tianguang knows that it will not be a righteous and bright strategy. Maybe the reason why Lan Batian doesn't like Lan Heting is the reason why Old Man Lan is optimistic about Lan Heting.
Lan Batian was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the angry shouts of the three elders of the Lan family, someone broke into the Lan Mansion, Lan Batian immediately got up and flew towards the source of the sound, but it was too late, but for a moment, it was already empty, and only a mess remained. At this time, the three elders appeared in front of Lan Batian with a miserable face.
"The head of the family, there are masters, I only blocked one move and was injured."
Lan Batian was shocked, these three elders were monks in the late Yuan Infant period, and they were actually injured by someone with a palm, so the other party ......
"I know about this, you should go back to heal first, and I'll go and see the situation in the house."
The three elders were stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but were stopped by Lan Batian, "You go down, I'll deal with today's matter." ”
The third elder looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and saw that Lan Batian's face was gradually becoming difficult to look at, before he sighed and turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
