Chapter Twenty-Nine: How Did I Become a Patriarch?
Few clansmen know that in fact, the clans of Cheng Xing's two families are connected.
In the underground of Cheng's Chong Main Hall, there is a secret sealed and never used underground network channel, to the north is Luoyang, to the west is Xiangyang, to the east is Songjiang, to the south is Lin'an. If the two families really encounter the danger of exterminating the clan one day, they can only come to a heavenly maiden to scatter flowers and scatter all the family seeds.
Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yuanzhi hurried away, and finally came to the front of the Chongben Hall, and suddenly saw the sky in the distance suddenly light up.
"Heavenly ......" Xing Yuanzhi's face turned pale for a moment, "Heavenly Tribulation Fire"
In the Maison's circles, the two strategic-class weapons carried on board the Jingwei mothership are not classified. One is the high-energy laser emitter "three-legged black", and the other is the "heavenly calamity" of the child-mother cluster system. The latter can fire 100+ mother bombs at a time, and each mother bomb has more than 13,000 high-explosive ****** inside, which is enough to turn every inch of land in the center of Pukou District into a sea of fire.
Due to the bulky and numerous mother bombs, the mode of ballistic missiles is adopted: the angle of fire is adjusted, the engine is boosted, the ignition is turned off after entering a fixed trajectory, and the target is reached and detonated. When fired, the tail engines of all the mother bombs ignite at the same time, and the lumens produced are concentrated enough to illuminate the surroundings even for a split second at night.
At the top of the Chongbentang house, Cheng Benhe, the current head of the Cheng family, was standing there on crutches, next to Xing Shuhe, the head of the Xing family, and two fifth-grade abilities stood together, looking at the Heavenly Tribulation Fire Missile that was rapidly attacking from the southern sky.
"Uncle He." Cheng Benhe finally said, his voice was a little weak, "From now on, Jinyang will be handed over to you." ”
"Okay." Xing Shuhe said.
In just a few words, the Heavenly Tribulation Fire Missile had already rapidly passed through a distance of more than 30 kilometers, broke through the clouds and entered inertial flight, and shot down from the sky over the Yangtze River, and the target was the Cheng Xing and Xing families located in Pukou District!
Xing Shuming let out a low sigh, his mind gathered in an instant, and he completed a massive calculation in an instant.
Mass Effect. Green Underworld!
Missiles up to Mach 20 or more are unrealistic to lock on to with abilities, and can only be covered in a wide area along the way.
The Immortal? Blue sky also. The ancients said, "The clear one rises lightly? The turbidity is heavy and falls", the so-called green and dark is a collection of light qi? It also symbolizes the reduction of quality.
With enormous inertia? A large number of Heavenly Tribulation Fire missiles rushed into the "Green Netherworld" realm, and their mass was greatly reduced in an instant. Under the action of air resistance? The speed also plummeted.
Cheng Ben and Qiang Cheer up, wait for them to slow down? Lock on all the missiles at once? Quickly activate an ability.
Universal gravitation. Triple Strings!
The gravity of these missiles tripled in an instant, and the direction was pointed as due north diagonally upward. So they took an extremely thrilling parabola over the Pukou district and flew back towards the northern sky.
Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yuanzhi below, they were relieved to see this scene? At the same time, I was also a little afraid and emotional.
This is the significance of the five strong people to the family: with the concentration of blood across the meso? The ability itself can also take a qualitative leap.
The gravitational force can be adjusted to multiply the gravity of the mass source by several times or cut it to a fraction; The adjustment interval for mass effect has also been greatly expanded, allowing any mass source to be reduced to a minimum value close to 0, or multiplied to tens of thousands of tons.
If there weren't two five-grade patriarchs, it is estimated that the family would really be finished this time!
Cheng Jinyang raised his head again? Just as Cheng Benhe's gaze fell on the roof, the two looked at each other for a moment? The latter seemed to want to say something, and his lips squirmed slightly.
Then he fell backwards and fell weakly.
Cheng Jinyang: !
He hurriedly rushed into the Chongben Hall with Ah Zhi? saw that Cheng Benhe had been transported down and rescued in the medical room next to him.
After a while? Cousin Cheng Yuexian also returned to Chongbentang? Seeing Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yuanzhi staying outside in a daze? The light at the door of the medical room was also on, and he immediately understood something, and sighed quietly.
At this moment, the door of the medical room suddenly opened, and Xing Shuhe, the head of the Xing family, walked out, nodded to Xing Yuanzhi next to him, and then said to Cheng Jinyang:
"Old Man Cheng woke up...... Hurry up, he's running out of time. ”
Everyone hurriedly rushed into the medical room, and saw the nurse busy in front of the instrument, the second and third uncles were already standing next to them, and Cheng Benhe, who was intubated all over his body, was lying on the hospital bed and looked at the cloudy eyes.
"What about Cheng Huaiyan" The third uncle, Cheng Qingping, saw that his son had not come back yet, frowned and took out his mobile phone.
He was about to make a phone call, when he heard someone outside shouting "It's coming", and then Cheng Huaiyan and Xing Junmo rushed in.
"It's all here, so let's get started." Second Uncle Cheng Qingyuan said expressionlessly.
Cheng Benhe slowly spoke, and Cheng Qingping put the megaphone to his mouth and turned the volume to the maximum.
"Starting today." The old man's voice seemed to have been polished by sandpaper, like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time, "Shendu Cheng clan, the position of the patriarch ......"
“…… handed over to Cheng Jinyang and took over. ”
For a while, it seemed that the whole world was quiet, and Cheng Jinyang stood there in a daze, his mind full of "who am I", "where am I", and "what am I going to do".
Why did the old man make a big move, and after saving the clan land, suddenly his body was not good, and he had to pass the position of the patriarch directly to himself, which was too sudden!!
"Personnel ......" Cheng Benhe continued to say with difficulty, "the three-room help manage ......"
Cheng Qingping nodded.
"Fiscal ...... Second room agent ......"
"Okay." Cheng Qingyuan said in a low voice, and Cheng Yuexian called "grandpa" in a low voice behind him, and he couldn't speak anymore and secretly cried.
"But...... All matters need to be decided by the patriarch. Cheng Benhe turned his gaze to Cheng Jinyang, and the fingers of his left hand moved slightly, "Come ......"
"Go ahead." Cheng Huaiyan gently pushed it from behind.
So Cheng Jinyang walked to Cheng Benhe's side, wanting to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.
"Jinyang ......" Cheng Benhe seemed to be unable to see clearly, and his eyes rolled stiffly.
"Grandpa." Cheng Jinyang shouted in a low voice.
"Family...... In the future...... "Cheng Ben and his lips moved, and his breath was like a gossamer," ...... I'll leave it to you. ”
"Hmm." Cheng Jinyang hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "However, I don't know if I can do it." ”
"Do your best...... Obey the destiny of ......" When he was dying, Cheng Benhe finally said, "No matter what ...... Ahead, it's good or it's bad......"
His eyes suddenly widened, as if he was squeezing the last bit of strength out of his body:
“…… Take everyone and go down ......"
Then the old man did not move.
The heart rate line on the instrument also changed to a straight line and began to beep and beep.
In the medical room, the atmosphere froze for nearly half a minute, and it was so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were falling.
Then Cheng Qingping spoke:
"Convergence, time is running out."
The two nurses next to him hurriedly brought body bags and carefully packed Cheng Benhe's body into it.
Looking at Cheng Jinyang who was stunned next to her, Xing Yuanzhi was about to say something, but the uncle's hand was already on her shoulder.
Xing Shuhe shook his head at her and motioned for her to leave with him, leaving the rest of the time to the Cheng family.
After the two left, the rest of the people looked at each other, and finally Cheng Yuexian wiped away her tears and said:
"I'll tell you."
She came to Cheng Jinyang's side and explained in a low voice:
"In fact, long before you became naturalized and returned to the sect, grandpa's physical condition had deteriorated for a long time, so he stayed in the hospital to hang his life."
"Since he returned to the clan land, in the month you have been away, Grandpa's health has deteriorated every day. He propped up his sick body and did most of the handovers. All the children of the Cheng family who oppose you have also followed the uncle to join the Long Xiang Army and open another line. ”
"So those who stay in the clan land now are basically the clansmen who recognize you as the patriarch, and you don't have to worry about being opposed or set up in the air......"
"That's not what I meant." Cheng Jinyang was silent for a long time and said, "Why has no one ever told me this?"
"In the past month, you just went to Luotang every day to get the task to attend, and after completing the task, you went back to your residence in Wujiang Town, and you never asked your grandfather and us back to the clan, didn't you" Cheng Yuexian sighed faintly.
"Grandpa said that because you have been away since you were a child, you lack family ties with everyone, and even have estrangement from your family, which is normal. It's just that he doesn't have much life left, and what should be handed over to you will be handed over to you after all. ”
"Say it in advance, I'm afraid you won't agree." Cheng Huaiyan added a brief sentence later.
"Do you think that if you suddenly notify me now, I will agree" Cheng Jinyang smiled dumbly, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated.
"At least now is the most likely time for you to say yes." Second Uncle Cheng Qingyuan sighed and said.
"If you don't agree, you can't do anything." Cheng Qingping, the third uncle, added, "It's just that in this way, the Shendu Cheng clan will inevitably be removed from the Shi clan in the future and slip into the Hanmen Shu clan." Most of the clansmen had to be dismissed on the spot and left to find another way to survive. ”
"We're not trying to force you into anything." Cheng Yuexian finally said in a low voice, "Originally, after things were about to go according to plan, Grandpa planned to take some time to have a long talk with you." It's just that this attack by the Long Xiang Army happened suddenly......"
"I see." Cheng Jinyang interrupted her, "The spiritual power shield here has been shattered, and the Pukou District will definitely not be able to hold it." Let's take the underground network pipeline train first, and send the remaining clansmen to the southern city, and we will talk about the rest later. ”
"Okay, I'll organize." Cheng Huaiyan nodded quickly and immediately went out with Xing Junmo.
"The situation in the urban area is okay, can you confirm it?" Cheng Jinyang asked.
"At present, only the relay station in Pukou district has been destroyed." Second Uncle Cheng Qingyuan said, "The force field arc energy defense over the city is still solid, but it is still dangerous in the long run, so you can consider taking this opportunity to withdraw the clansmen directly to Lin'an ......."
"Nope." Cheng Jinyang denied his suggestion, "If you retreat directly to Lin'an, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is equivalent to the Shendu Cheng clan fleeing without a fight." In addition, my grandfather has passed away, and being removed from the clan is an inevitable result. ”
"You can evacuate the clansmen who have no combat effectiveness to Lin'an, but before that, you must negotiate with the imperial court to reach an agreement, and I will do this. Sanbo, the list of corresponding clansmen, you can filter it first for later use. ”
"Hmm." The third uncle, Cheng Qingping, nodded in response.
"I can't think of anything else urgent for the time being." Cheng Jinyang rubbed his eyebrows, "If you don't have any other opinions, let's go out first and go to the entrance of the ground network to prepare for evacuation." ”
