614. Chapter 613: The Only Hope
Entering the cave, there was nothing in it, except for a large bluestone slab in the middle of the cave, on which sat three old men in gray cloth robes with their eyes closed, each with white hair and beard.
Zhou Jie looked around the cave, but didn't find any place to sleep and rest, it seemed that this cave was just a place for the three old men to practice.
"Master Zu, Zhou Jie is here." Long Gongzi said very respectfully, his head lowered and he didn't dare to raise his head easily to look at the three old ancestors. And Princess Feng, who was standing on the side, was the same, and she bowed her head very respectfully and was silent.
"Well, Zhou Jie, you stay, you two go out first." One of the old fellows said a word, but still didn't open his eyes.
"Eh, grandpa, then let's go out first." Princess Feng and Long Gongzi whispered together, and then retreated with their heads down, and the stone gate was instantly closed again.
Seeing that Long Gongzi and Princess Feng were also gone, Zhou Jie suddenly became even more nervous, looking at the appearance of these three old guys, it is estimated that the martial arts are also bottomless, such a strange old guy will not eat me.
"You are Zhou Jie." At this time, the three old fellows all opened their eyes and looked at him.
"Yes, I, I am, three old-timers." Zhou Jie arched his hand at the three old guys.
"Well, the son of General Long, it's really a majestic one, not bad, not bad."
Hearing this, Zhou Jie was confused, although Yao Shuiying was right to say that he was the son of General Long, but how did these three old guys know? Zhou Jie didn't understand.
"Three seniors, what, what do you mean, I, the son of General Long, what do you mean?" Zhou Jie deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Hehehehe, yes, I know how to keep it secret, it's good." The oldest guy sitting in the middle laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Jie bowed his head and said very respectfully.
"Zhou Jie, that Yao Shuiying is also a member of our Dragon and Phoenix Family Guard, do you know?"
"Huh?" Zhou Jie was really surprised now, he didn't think that these three old men knew so much, Zhou Jie felt a little embarrassed, he pretended to be so hard just now, but he didn't expect that everything was clear.
"Senior, you, how do you know?"
"Hehehe, don't think that the three of us old guys are fools, Yao Shuiying, we have been in contact with her for a long time, and we also know that you Zhou Jie is the son of General Long back then, do you think that you can dig up ancient coins by chance?"
"So, that's?"
"Of course it was arranged by the three old fellows."
Hearing this, Zhou Jie immediately understood, it turned out that all this was operated by these three old guys behind his back, and it seemed that Aunt Yao was also hiding these things from herself.
"Then, does she know about Princess Feng, the dragon prince, and the ancient coins around my neck?" When Zhou Jie spoke, his hand naturally touched his neck, and he was shocked when he found that the ancient coins were gone, but after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he was in the ancient coins, so the coins on his neck were naturally left outside.
Zhou Jie wiped his sweat.
"I mean Yao Shuiying, does she know about the ancient coins around my neck?"
"She doesn't know, it's us who go to her every time." The old man replied in the affirmative.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Zhou Jie felt a little better, because this showed that Aunt Yao didn't hide much from herself, at most, she didn't tell herself about a few old guys, and Aunt Yao really didn't know about other things.
"Zhou Jie, I think you already know your background."
"Well, I know something." Zhou Jie stood opposite the three old guys and nodded.
"You are the son of Long Zhan, the general of our Dragon and Phoenix Family, so I secretly passed on the Dragon Nine Heavenly Divine Skill left by your father to you, and also asked Princess Feng and Long Gongzi to guide you to get the peerless treasure of the Dragon and Phoenix Family, the Dragon Scepter, which is the scepter of the patriarch of the Dragon and Phoenix Family, the ancestors bless, let the Dragon Scepter have a relationship with you, so that our Dragon and Phoenix Family can hope to revitalize."
"What do you mean? The scepter of the patriarch? Zhou Jie interjected puzzled.
"That's right, that is the scepter of the patriarch of the Dragon and Phoenix family, and Princess Feng is the daughter of the patriarch, the only royal bloodline, you have a relationship with her, I want you to promise us now that you will marry her in the future." The old guy said it directly.
"This, I'm okay with this, it's hard to say that princess Feng." Zhou Jie couldn't wait for this to be a thing, so he picked his scalp and agreed.
Hearing Zhou Jie's agreement, the three old guys seemed to have finally completed most of the task.
"Don't worry, we have talked to her yesterday, and she doesn't dare not agree, you can rest assured." The old guy in the middle continued to speak, but the old guy sitting on both sides didn't say a word, just looked at Zhou Jie with his eyes.
"Okay, that's fine." Zhou Jie nodded hurriedly.
"There's a big thing for you to do." At this time, the three elders came to the important point.
"What's the big deal?" Zhou Jie had heard Long Gongzi and Princess Feng talk about it before, it seemed that the Dragon and Phoenix family would have big things to complete by themselves, but they didn't know what it was before, and it seemed that it was time to reveal the mystery.
"Zhou Jie, our dragon and phoenix family originally had a piece of their own territory, but where has it been destroyed by the enemy, in the end, only a small part of us remained, and it was sealed in this by the masters of the clan and sent to this place, but it is a pity that on the way over, the patriarch and wife of the dragon and phoenix family finally perished in order to support the broken void and protect us from being squeezed by space, and since then the dragon scepter in his hand and the phoenix feather of the patriarch's wife have also been lost at the same time."
"Why did the patriarch and the patriarch's wife make the move, not you?" Although Zhou Jie didn't understand why he was squeezed by the void, he couldn't figure out how it would be the patriarch and the patriarch's wife who would come out in person when they encountered danger, instead of these subordinates.
"Alas, except for the patriarch and the lady, who has that ability, we want to make a move, but we can't get close at all, even your father, General Long, is helpless." The old man's eyes were confused, as if he was recalling the original situation again.
"Oh." Zhou Jie seemed to understand a little and nodded. It seems that it must have been very dangerous at that time, and the patriarch and his wife had the best kung fu, so in order to keep some people safe, the patriarch and his wife had to sacrifice.
The three old men recalled the pain in their confused eyes, and then they retracted their gaze, and the old man in the middle continued: "Later, in order to find the treasures of the two dragon and phoenix families, I sent your father, General Long, to look for them with all the dragon and phoenix guards, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap of the enemy again, as a result, there was a big battle, and the dragon and phoenix guards were also killed, and only Yao Shuiying was left in the dragon and phoenix guards, but God willing, she finally saved you, so that the dragon and phoenix family had hope again." ”
