"I ...... Really...... Wu use. "I barely managed to say these words, and I couldn't say anything else.

The man's fingers loosened slightly, and a wisp of air entered his nasal cavity, like a life-saving elixir, and I gasped desperately.

"Did you forget the token at home?" The man said, "The old patriarch told me when he was alive that he left you an extremely important thing that you can only receive with a token. If you think about it, it's a piece of jade, a palm-sized hundred-year-old jade, engraved with the seal of the ancestor, very simple. Are you left at home? ”

As I spoke, the man let go of his hand completely, my neck hurt and spicy, and I felt that the blood must have come out, and I gasped for breath, thinking about what he said, and still had no memory at all.

When it returned to normal, I shook my head and said, "There really are no tokens, and Mr. Chen never said that he was going to give me anything, you must have remembered it wrong." ”

The man was suspicious: "Are you serious? ”

"What I said is true." I was afraid that he would come and pinch me again, so I said as I quickly took a few steps back.

"Hahaha......" He laughed out loud, changed his vicious appearance just now, and became kind and pleasant: "Okay, don't be afraid, I won't pinch you anymore, you are really Wu Yong!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You just tested me?" ”

"Not bad!" The man said: "How dare you be sure if you are really Wu Yong without testing?" Not sure how dare I take you where to go? ”

I looked at the man with some dazed nervousness, but he walked over with a kind look on his face and stretched out his hand to me.

I shuddered and subconsciously shrank my head, and was about to dodge, but he smiled, just patted my hand on the shoulder, and knocked off the dirt that had stuck to the ground when I had just fallen to the ground.

"I'm Chen Hongren." He introduced himself: "Chen Jiahong is ranked fifth among the generations, if you don't dislike it, you can call me the fifth uncle." ”

"Hello Uncle Five!" I screamed in fear.

"Hmm." Chen Hongren smiled and said, "When I saw your face just now, I already knew that you were a person lacking in the Five Elements, and it should be Wu Yong who the old patriarch saved back then." ”

"Huh?" I admired and was a little angry: "Then why do you still want to test me? ”

"It's also a helpless move." Chen Hongren said: "Recently, Chenjia Village has not been peaceful, and it has just been quiet for a few years, and it has been targeted again. We've seen a number of uninvited guests, uninvited, for some unknown purpose, but sneaky and not like a decent person. Yesterday, there were people who, like you today, were lying on the wall here. ”

I was stunned and said, "Who is that?" What are you doing? ”

"I don't know." Chen Hongren shook his head and said: "That person is not like you, he doesn't know anything, he is not low, he is a good hand in the art world, he was questioned by me yesterday, and he started to do it without saying a word, I hurt him, but also let him run." Alas...... It's a pity that today's Chenjia Village is no longer the Chenjia Village of the past, and there are only a handful of masters left, not to mention the five major clan elders, Mai Ten Jun, just with the fifty clans, if they are still there, how can they let the young people come and go freely? ”

I didn't know what to say, and it wasn't until later that I learned that the so-called five elders of the five major clans were the five masters of the "Han" generation in Chenjiacun in the past, that is, Chen Hansheng's generation; Mai Shijun is one of the top ten masters of the "Hong" generation, and this Chen Hongren ranks third among Mai's ten juniors! The Fifty Clans are the backbone of Chenjia Village to protect the village, and they are numbered by five elements, namely Jin 1, Mu 1, Water 1, Fire 1, and Earth until Jin 10, Mu 10, Water 10, Fire 10, and Earth 10, all of which are extraordinary good hands!

I didn't know how to answer, Chen Hongren had already taken care of himself, and said: "Although I don't know what the specific purpose of that person's coming is, I think it will be related to "Yishan Gonglu". This book of physiognomy, even if it is only half a volume, will be coveted by countless people. ”

I have heard Chen Hongde talk about the past of Mai and the Chen family, and of course I also know the preciousness of "Yishan Gonglu", which is the first strange book in the physiognomy world.

I only heard Chen Hongren continue: "I'm afraid that most of the people who have heard the wind recently have come for this, and if they want to find this book, they have to go to three places, one is the old patriarch's house, one is the Chen family temple, and the other is the ancestral tomb of the Chen family. The family temple and the ancestral tomb are guarded, and the idle people can't approach it at all, but the defense here is weak, so I just stay nearby, and when there is a disturbance, I will appear. It's just that there is really no "Yishan Gonglu" here, but the ancestor's home, even if it is abandoned, cannot be touched by the villains. ”

I listened in awe and nodded vigorously.

Chen Hongren said: "It is because of this that I am doubly careful, even if I see that you are short of people in the Five Elements, I have to test you." First, I'm afraid that there is a shortage of people in the five elements to pretend to be you and come here to deceive; Second, I'm afraid that you are no longer the Wu of the past, and your mind has changed; Third, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by others and have evil intentions. So, if you dared to say that there was a token just now, or that you forgot it at home, I would dare to kill you, do you believe it or not? ”

I shuddered and said, "I believe it." ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Chen Hongren said: "Come with me." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Aren't you coming to see the old patriarch?" Chen Hongren said: "I'll take you there." ”

"Grandpa didn't die?" I was overjoyed.

"Passed away." Chen Hongren said lightly and said, "Take you to worship him." ”

I was stunned for a moment, but I saw Chen Hongren squeezing his eyes at me, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made me a little confused for a moment.

Did Chen Hansheng pass away?

I don't know.

"Sixteenth brother, I'll go first, you look at it here, if there is any emergency that can't be dealt with, immediately broadcast the alarm! Don't be strong! ”

"Yes, Fifth Brother!"

Chen Hongren seemed to say a few words into the air, and then immediately a voice responded, I couldn't tell where this "sixteenth brother" was hiding, and I couldn't help but stick out my tongue, the people in Chenjia Village are really powerful.

"Let's go." Chen Hongren said to me, let's go first.

I followed Chen Hongren in a daze, took two steps, and I couldn't help asking, "Where is Uncle Hongde?" ”

"Passed away."

"Huh? That...... What about Grandma Tsang? ”

"Passed away."

"What about Chen Hongdao and Chen Yuanfang?"

"They're all gone."

"How so!" I broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Aren't they all young?" That Chen Yuanfang is only four or five years older than me! ”

"You remember it well." Chen Hongren turned his head and smiled at me, and said, "You just need to remember that when outsiders ask about you, you say that you are dead." As for whether it is a real death or a fake death, you just need to know it in your heart. ”

I paused for a moment and said, "But I don't know." ”

Chen Hongren said: "You know. ”

I don't have anything to say, what else can I say?

Chen Hongren and I traveled east for more than 100 zhang, then turned north, bypassed the pond in the village, and slowly ran to the ancestral grave of Chenjia Village.

By this time, it was already dark, and it was already night.

Before I walked to the Chen family's ancestral tomb, I was shocked when I looked at it from a distance, the place of the ancestral tomb was a huge cemetery! The pines and cypresses in the garden are numerous, the stone monuments are numerous, and the tombs are silent and solemn, in the night, it seems hazy, illusory and real.

Our village is not small, but it does not have such a large and spectacular cemetery. Sure enough, people are more than people, angry people, villages are more than villages, not villages.

Before Chen Hongren and I entered, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, followed by two black shadows inadvertently coming in front of us, startling me a lot.

"Ninth brother, twelfth brother, it's me, Hongren." Chen Hongren didn't wait for anyone to speak, so he spoke first.

"It's the fifth brother."

The person who came should be the ninth and twelfth tomb keepers of the "Hong" generation in the Chen family.

After seeing Chen Hongren clearly, the tomb keeper hurriedly blew the whistle in his hand, and a whistle sounded in the distance as if it responded, which indicated that it was an acquaintance who came and could be relieved.

The grave keeper looked at me carefully and said in surprise, "Who is this?" ”

"Wu Yong." Chen Hongren said lightly.

"Oh!" The grave keeper suddenly realized and said, "Please come in!" ”

Chen Hongren nodded and said, "You guys stand down, and by the way, say hello to the old fifteen." ”

The two grave keepers retreated, and the whistle fell together in the darkness, and in an instant, the huge cemetery returned to quiet, with only a faint white air, which made people feel that it was much colder here than elsewhere.

"Let's go." Chen Hongren said.
