Chapter 21: Statues of the Ancestors
In the cellar in the hot summer, there is already a slight coolness. Coupled with the heavy rain in the morning, the cellar, which was already exceptionally cool and comfortable, seemed a little cold. The faint glow of night pearls around the walls added to the coldness. But at this moment, in Chu Fei's heart, it was like a raging fire, blood boiling, and it was hot.
thought that his life was hard, but he crossed over to a down-and-out Haoqiang home and relied on a bad old man for his life. I once thought that the scene in front of me is too brilliant and dazzling, and the visual impact is really too shocking. Recall that the old man said that the stored grain can be used to recruit 100,000 iron horsemen by himself, even if there is water, then the old Chu family is too rich. I'm afraid that compared with the old Liu family sitting in Luoyang now, it is not far away. Of course, it can only be compared with the decaying old Liu family, if it is compared with Emperor Wu, then it is more elk than elephants, and pheasants are more than peacocks.
Counting the night pearls on the wall, one, two, three, four... Thirty-six night pearls the size of a pale forehead dotted the entire secret room. Each one is about five meters apart, and it has to be a treasure the size of a football field. By the faint light, I saw that the mouth of the cellar on the ground was full of gold, silver, and jewelry. Walking in the glittering light of the gold and silver jewelry, boxes of treasures covered in seals. I saw that the seal had decayed and broken, judging from the flickering light at the seal. The boxes of goods in here must be yellow and white.
Walking forward along the flickering light on both sides, I saw that the light in the depths of the secret room was even brighter. The night pearls full of different colors are surrounded by a miniature version of the city that never sleeps. In the middle of the countless luminous beads, there is a divine horse standing with its head up. The horse's hooves were as white as snow, and his whole body was black. The horse with its front hooves held high is like a shuttle through the clouds. With his bloody mouth open, he looked up to the sky and roared, as if he was venting his inner anger.
Above the horse sat a majestic man, his eyes like electricity on his cold face, revealing the spirit of looking at the world. The rich sword eyebrows above the eyes and the long flowing hair also show the extraordinary appearance of the man before his death. Holding the reins of the horse in one hand, raising the halberd in his hand with the other, coupled with the murderous aura that is integrated, people dare not look at it for a long time.
Lu Bu? How can there be a statue of Lu Bu here, I'll go, is this a dream, why did you go to the wrong set. No, although this is like Fang Tian's painting halberd, it is different. Fang Tian's halberd was flanked by crescent sprigs, but the sides of this weapon were straight from front to back, looking more like a gun than a halberd. And although this divine horse is strong and strong, its hooves are snow-white, and it is as holy as snow. And the red rabbit is red all over, and it is not the same god horse at all.
So who is this person, no matter how Chu Fei wants to break his head, he can't think of the general surnamed Chu in history who can have such might. A statue is so heroic and extraordinary, full of murderous aura. From a distance, it was like facing a giant beast in the wilderness. If this person is alive, I am afraid that a loud shout will scare off the million-strong army. It's a pity that such a heroic figure didn't have a chance to see him.
"This is the ancestor of the Chu family!" Chu Xiong, who was walking slowly behind him, looked at the statue in front of him and said, the pride and grief revealed in his words could be heard by even a three-year-old child.
"Who is this man? It's amazing how powerful a statue can be. Chu Fei, who was deeply shocked by the statue, actually forgot his identity at this time.
"In front of the ancestors, don't kneel down yet." Chu Xiong said, slowly kneeling down.
Chu Fei saw that the old man knelt down at his age, and no matter how well he stood up, he really couldn't say anything, after all, his current identity was a descendant of the Chu family.
"Chu Xiong, the sixteenth generation of the Xiang family, and Chu Fei, the eighteenth generation of the unscrupulous grandson, bow to the ancestors." Chu Xiong said with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed three times with a "bang, bang".
I went, really, and cried. At such an age, if I cry again, I will be left alone, without relatives and no reason. Although he kept shouting about the old man, Chu Fei unconsciously regarded Chu Xiong as his only relative.
"Get up quickly, cry again. Besides, although this person was born heroic, he has been dead for so many years, and he can't cry back. Chu Fei said that he wanted to pick up the old Chutou, but ignored the surname that the old Chutou had changed.
"Rebel! How dare you be so disrespectful to your ancestors, kneel down for me. Chu Xiong said angrily.
Hey, my stinky mouth. This is the ancestor of Lao Chutou, how can I tell the truth.
"I was wrong, don't be angry! My stinky mouth is really underwhelming, hey! Saying that, Chu Fei gave himself two more mouths.
"Well, you are young and ignorant. Besides, I have never told you about the ancestors in advance, and your father left early, let alone tell you about the great achievements of your ancestors. Help me up, and I'll talk to you about my family today. When the old man saw Chu Fei smack his two mouths, he was distressed and relieved.
"Ah, why did we become a family again, aren't we surnamed Chu? That's a mess! "But also, the government in later generations was so strict, and it was only a hundred and ten yuan to change the name. This Eastern Han Dynasty is not as many as the household registration, and changing the name is not commonplace. Chu Fei thought, helped the old man to sit down on the treasure chest next to the statue, and waited for the old man to tell his story with a look of hope.
"That's a long story!" Chu Xiong sighed and said.
"It's okay, you always speak slowly. I'll see what treasures are in these treasure chests, and if there are any elixirs, martial arts cheats, etc. Chu Fei said, wandering around.
"You kid, when I'm gone, the treasures in this secret room are all yours, whatever you want, and you're still in a hurry. Besides, this time I brought you down because I planned to hand over the burden of my Xiang family to you. Grandpa, I'm old, maybe I'll die that day. I can't fulfill the last wish of my ancestors, and I'm counting on you. ”
Looking at his grandson, Chu Xiong's heart was still very happy. Originally, the grandson, who only knew how to blindly fight with others, has become much smarter since he woke up this time, and he knows how to use his wit. Just look at the Huang Zhong he brought back yesterday, although he didn't see him make a move, but looking at his appearance and demeanor, I am afraid that this person's bravery is much stronger than that of his own people. And this time the yellow scarf was broken, thanks to my grandson's fire bull array. And his poems, all of which show my grandson's ingenuity and strategy.
My Xiang family is finally a successor, and when the world is in turmoil, it should be time for his Liu family to repay their debts.
