Volume 3: Chapter 78: Hope in the Clan
Chen Zhongxuan checked the bones on the ground, nodded and said, "The old patriarch is right, this person is wearing a Taoist uniform with obvious blood stains, obviously he has experienced an extremely fierce fight before his death, but there are no obvious traces here in the secret room, which means that this person came here after the fight, and then died here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it's for the treasure here, the chest here will definitely be opened. It's a manifestation of humanity. That can only mean that he came here for another purpose, something that my Chen clan guards. ”
When the old patriarch heard Chen Zhongxuan's analysis, he was even more relieved. Chen Zhongxuan and Chen Zhongju both grew up under his watch, and now one has outstanding wisdom and the other has excellent martial arts. In the era of the decline of the Chen family, the birth of the two of them can be said to have seen the hope of the new rise of the Chen family. It's just that I didn't expect that it was time for the Chen clan to come to a catastrophe, perhaps, these two people could really save their Chen clan from the scourge of annihilation and leave hope.
Chen Zhongxuan asked, "Old patriarch, what should we do with this corpse?" ”
"Put it back where it was! Let's deal with him when we've dealt with those three people! ”
After the old patriarch finished speaking, the two of them put the bones back in their place. The old patriarch looked behind the bones, and another stone door appeared in his eyes. This stone gate, the old patriarch is familiar, although it is the first time to see the stone gate, but the appearance of the stone gate, its function, what is behind it and how to open it, is the patriarch of the Chen clan in the past dynasties are deeply rooted in their minds and engraved in their memory.
Chen Zhongxuan looked at the old patriarch stunned at Shimen, although he had doubts in his heart, but he had a little guess. The divine seal guarded by their Chen clan must have been prepared for this secret room, so the entire secret room, except for this stone door that I don't know how to open, is only a mural that records the past and the treasures in the big box on the ground.
Seeing the old patriarch in a daze at the stone gate, Chen Zhongxuan did not disturb. Then seeing the old patriarch sighing deeply, Chen Zhongxuan asked his doubts.
"Old Patriarch, is the existence behind this something that our Chen clan guards?"
The old patriarch was still staring at the stone gate in front of him, bowing his head slightly. After a while, he pointed to the center of the stone gate and said, "This is the location of the Divine Chapter, but now the Divine Seal is still unknown, and behind it is the existence painted on the walls around it." “
Chen Zhongxuan looked back at the mural again, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly became round, and he turned his head sharply, looking at the old patriarch, "Is it Yin ......?"
Chen Zhongxuan didn't say it completely, but the old patriarch already knew that Chen Zhongxuan had guessed, and nodded with his eyes closed.
"How so? How could our ancestors have allowed our people to guard these things for generations? Chen Zhongxuan suddenly looked a little excited.
Chen Zhongxuan's incomprehension was also the same mood that the old patriarch had when he knew. Perhaps every generation of the Chen clan will not understand these truths! Why do the Chen clan, who don't know Taoism and can only do martial arts, protect the Yin soldiers? How can they control these Yin soldiers, there is no Dao method, once these Yin soldiers counterattack, then their Chen clan will bear the brunt of the attack, becoming the Yin Soul under the sword of the Yin soldiers, and there is no chance to resist, no wonder, after the loss of the Divine Chapter, the Chen clan is trying to find it by any means, and the problem really appears in essence.
The other clansmen didn't know what dumb riddles Chen Zhongxuan and the old patriarch were playing, but they didn't ask much. This is also the simplicity and loyalty of the Chen family, only compliance. After all, the majesty of the old patriarch, as well as everyone's respect for him, no one would think that the old patriarch would do anything to hurt the clansmen, so even if they went up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, the clansmen would follow the old patriarch forward, so over the years, the clansmen never asked the old patriarch anything, because once something happened, the old patriarch would definitely tell them.
Chen Zhongxuan came back to his senses after a while, looked at the old patriarch and asked, "Will they come out?" ”
The old patriarch looked at the stone gate, shook his head, and said, "To be honest, I don't know, the Divine Chapter is the key to open this door, and it is also the talisman that orders them. The Divine Chapter is gone, and after hundreds of years, whether they will break through the stone gate or not, and who can subdue them, is only an unknown. “
"Why don't you ask the Zhuge clan to help?"
"The time is urgent, and I haven't had time to inform the Zhuge clan, and the Zhuge clan has been looking for the Divine Chapter. Back then, it was the head of the army of the Zhuge clan stationed in the back mountain that stole the Divine Chapter, and the reason why he did it back then was for a woman of my Chen clan, speaking of which, this was a common mistake of the two clans back then, if it wasn't for the things of the year, the Divine Seal would not have been lost, and there would be no disaster today. ”
While the two were discussing, Chen Zhongju brought a large box with someone.
The old patriarch arranged for Chen Zhongju and his people to take out the treasure from that box and transfer it to another large box. Facing Chen Zhongju and a few young people, he instructed, "A few of you take these things to the ancestral hall and hide them under the ancestral hall's sacred tablets." Got it?
Chen Zhongju listened to the order, and left the secret room with a few people just now carrying a large box full of treasures.
At this time, the sky was already a little white, and it was about to light up.
The old patriarch said to the people around him, "Let's all go back and rest first!" The farm is busy, but you have to save your stamina and prepare for the night to wait for the rabbit. ”
Everyone agreed, and then dispersed. Leaving the secret room, the old patriarch arranged for another person to put the jade, the passage of the secret room was closed, and the stream was calm again.
The old patriarch instructed the young man who had put the jade to watch by the stream, hide it, and if there was any situation, he would immediately go back to report it, and then go back to the ancestral hall after explaining it. Chen Zhongju and the others had already carried the box back, and the old patriarch had to go there to explain.
Chen Zhongxuan did not return home, but followed the old patriarch to the ancestral hall. The old patriarch has also cultivated Chen Zhongxuan as the next generation of patriarchs. Naturally, there was no need to hide anything from him. In the future, the Chen clan will also be led by Chen Zhongxuan, the boss, and his brother Chen Zhongju.
In the ancestral hall, Chen Zhongju sat in front of the door, and the others had already gone home. Seeing the old patriarch and his eldest brother appear in front of the door, he hurriedly got up.
The old patriarch patted Chen Zhongju's shoulder, entered the ancestral hall, came to the god tablet, and frowned when he saw the box covered by a yellow cloth below. Although the old patriarch didn't know how to deal with this large box of treasures that suddenly appeared, he had another idea in his heart.
