The patriarch's eyes were stunned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Goudan finished speaking, the patriarch sighed deeply, calmed down for a while, and said to Goudan and his father, "You take Goudan back first, and then notify the direct clansmen of the Chen clan to gather in the ancestral hall." ”
Dogdan's father nodded and left with Dogdan. The patriarch watched them leave, looked in the direction of the stream, sighed deeply, returned to the house, closed the door, and plugged in the latch.
The patriarch changed his clothes, walked to one of the walls of the house, and slapped three times on the wall, three times on the bottom, three times on the left side, and three times on the right. A layer of ash fell on the wall, and then there was a creaking sound on the wall, and I saw that three gaps appeared in the wall that seemed to be one, one horizontal and two vertical. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a door, and this door was slowly opening.
The patriarch whispered to himself, "I thought that in a peaceful and prosperous world, I would never open this door again in this life, but I didn't expect it...... Hey......"
The door has opened, and an underground passage has appeared behind it. The patriarch picked up the oil lamp next to him and walked towards the passage.
The passage spirals down the stone steps and appears to be two stories high.
The patriarch went down the stone steps, lit the oil lamp in a groove in the wall, and instantly a line of fire passed around the entire underground secret room, and the secret room suddenly brightened, and put down the oil lamp in his hand on the stone platform next to it.
The whole secret room is not large, only about 100 square meters in size. There are several rows of bookshelves placed on the wall of the secret room, which are full of books, all kinds, obviously not a chronological record, you can tell from the style and paper of the books, the books here have gone through hundreds of years, any one can be taken out, it can be sold for a high price because of its history, knowledge, and value.
There was a stone platform in the center of the chamber, and the patriarch walked up two steps. In the center of the stone platform is a taller, smaller stone platform with two books and an open box on it.
The box was empty, and both books were covered with dust, and the patriarch wiped the dust off the books, and the four words on the book were clearly visible, "Secret of the Chen Clan".
Turning the first page of the book above, several columns of brush words came into view, "The Chen family, a hundred years of inheritance, a thousand years of responsibility, holding a divine seal, guarding the dragon gate, the chapter is in the people, and the chapter is ruined." ”
Looking at these columns of words, the patriarch's heart rippled again.
"The seal has been lost for many years, and it has not been recovered, I thought that in a peaceful and prosperous world, it would no longer hurt our clan because of the seal, but I don't want to disobey people's wishes." The chapter is in the people, and the chapter is ruined and the people are dead. These eight words are really going to be fulfilled, the fish is a direct descendant of my Chen family, and the place where the people who Goudan saw appeared was the secret room under the stream. Cholera has begun, and catastrophe is coming. I don't know how many of my people will be able to escape this catastrophe? ”
The patriarch sighed deeply. Put the first book aside, open the second book, and turn it all the way to the end. On the last page, there are only a few cursory words. But you can still see the inscription on it, "The sins of the Hereafter, the redemption of the dragon!" ”
What do these eight words mean? What does the prophecy left by the ancestors tell us a year ago? ”
The old patriarch tore off the last page, put it in his jacket pocket, looked around the secret room, and then walked down the stone platform, picked up the oil lamp and left.
Back inside, the door to the wall closes automatically. The old patriarch put down the oil lamp, opened the latch, and walked towards the ancestral hall.
At this time, the ancestral hall was already crowded with people, all of whom were direct members of the Chen family.
Everyone is talking about it, I don't know what the patriarch called everyone to the ancestral hall so late? It's all speculation in private.
The old patriarch walked into the ancestral hall, and everyone looked at it, and did not continue to discuss, but silently waited for the patriarch to speak.
The old patriarch walked to the front of the ancestral hall, turned around, looked deeply at the clansmen below, coughed lightly, and said, "The reason why everyone is here so late is because something big has happened in the clan, and this matter will only be connected to the fate of my Chen clan.
As you all know, our Chen family has been inherited for more than 500 years, and has lived in Chenjiaao for generations, just to protect the Dragon Gate. The clan rules of the Chen clan are not allowed to leave Chenjiaao, but because it is a peaceful and prosperous era, I allowed those young people to leave here and go outside.
One is so that they can bring prosperity to Chen Jia'ao, and the other is to ask them to look for the long-lost inheritance god seal outside.
Now the Divine Chapter has not been found, but the great calamity has come. ”
"Great difficulty?" When the clansmen below heard these two words, they all began to discuss, "What is the big difficulty?" ”
One of them asked aloud, "Patriarch, what is the big problem?" ”
The old patriarch sighed deeply and said, "The ancestor of my Chen family, the chapter is here, and the chapter is destroyed." Now that the Divine Seal has been lost for many years, the catastrophe has fallen.
Just tonight, someone opened the secret chamber of the tomb and killed the fish. This is a sign of great tribulation. ”
"What? Someone killed the fish? One of them asked in surprise.
How so? The discussion began again.
Father Dog stood up at this moment and said loudly, "Listen to me, the fish was killed by three strangers, and he died by the stream. It's my dog's own eye. ”
Hearing the confirmation of the dog's father, the clansmen were surprised that Yu'er had been killed, and at the same time, they were also terrified that the patriarch said that the catastrophe was in the first place.
The patriarch stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued, "For a hundred years, the secret chamber of the Divine Tomb has never been opened, and the clan rules clearly state that you cannot enter the Divine Tomb unless you are in a Longmen disaster. Even I have never entered the Tomb of the Gods and the secret chamber of the Tomb of the Gods, although I know that the secret chamber is in the stream, and I know how to open it, but I have never entered it.
Now that the three outsiders actually know the method of opening the secret room of the Divine Tomb, I am worried that they are prepared, once the Divine Tomb is opened, my Chen clan will die. ”
"Old patriarch, what should we do then? Please make it clear to the old patriarch. ”
"Please make it clear to the old patriarch."
All the tribesmen bowed together and pleaded.
The old patriarch looked at the clansmen below, Lao Huai nodded with relief, his face relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared. The people of the people are united, and there may be hope to overcome the difficulties......
The old patriarch paused for a moment and said, "In the clan, the elders, children, and women stay in the village, and the others prepare some torches and go with me to the creek to see what is going on. ”
The old patriarch commanded him, and the old man, the children, and the women dispersed and returned to their homes. The other young men also returned home to prepare torches, and a quarter of an hour later they joined the old patriarch at the entrance of the village with torches, and then walked to the brook behind the village.
Xu Jiong and the three have already left. The creek regained its calm, and small whirlpools were shown.
However, this did not prevent the old patriarch from finding the position. After all, as for the location of the divine tomb, although the old patriarch had never entered it, he knew it very well.
