Chapter 45: The Unknown Ji Family
Ji Chen felt the familiar and unfamiliar breath in the totem, this breath drove his thoughts, and Ji Chen seemed to be stuck in a long time ago.
In the memory, Ji Chen suddenly felt a burst of sadness for no reason, and his heart was extremely low and depressed, as if he was revealing a history of blood and tears that could not be looked back.
At this time, a picture gradually appeared in his mind, the picture was very blurry, Ji Chen opened his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that it was a man, and his outline was the same as the person on the totem.
Ji Chen was very puzzled, and said secretly: "Why am I sad? What is this place?"
Although Ji Chen couldn't see the man's face clearly, he noticed that this person was dressed in a green jade robe, his hair was tied up, standing alone on the top of the Cloud Mountain, the robe was moving in the wind, and his body was not strong but it was incomparably majestic, and his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
"He's?" Ji Chen stared at the person intently, wanting to see the person's face clearly, but at this moment, the picture suddenly flashed away, and Ji Chen blinked and found that he was actually in a huge dueling arena.
With Ji Chen's current angle, he couldn't see the whole picture of the dueling arena at all, but he could feel the grandeur of the dueling arena, and thought that it was definitely much bigger than the dueling arena of the Four Elephant Dynasty.
In a blink of an eye, he actually saw a flag hanging everywhere in the dueling arena, and a big word "Ji" was written on the flag, Ji Chen was shocked, "Ji family, where am I? What the hell is going on?"
The dueling arena was crowded with people, not waiting for Ji Chen to be surprised, an earth-shattering battle was breaking out on the dueling platform, the two fought each other, and the exercises and spiritual treasures were used to the fullest, of course, there were many Ji Chen who couldn't understand the means, but this still shocked him.
Ji Chen looked carefully and found that one of the people on the dueling table was the man he had seen before, while the other person he didn't know who it was.
The more Ji Chen looked at it, the more fascinated he became, he only felt that the battle between the two was too terrifying, and the use of spiritual power and exercises made Ji Chen dumbfounded, although Ji Chen was not at the scene, he seemed to be able to feel the battle between the two through time and space.
He could vaguely hear the shouts of the people, and although he couldn't hear them clearly, he could also feel the enthusiasm of the audience.
"Ji Zhongquan, come on!
......
The people on the field were basically cheering for this man named Ji Zhongquan, and it was obvious that this man's status in the Ji family was extraordinary.
"Ji Zhongquan?" Ji Chen muttered, he was very unfamiliar with this name, and he didn't know why he saw this person.
It didn't take long for the duel between the two to end with a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and the man named Ji Zhongquan really lived up to expectations and ended the duel with a thunderous momentum.
The cheers gradually subsided, and an old man walked up to the stone platform, this old man looked extraordinary, only to hear him solemnly announce: "Ji Zhongquansheng, he will become the fifth generation patriarch of my Ji family!"
Ji Chen's heart was shocked when he heard this, "The fifth generation patriarch of the Ji family!" What he saw now was somewhat beyond his cognition, and he really couldn't believe that such a Ji family still existed!
But before he was shocked, the picture turned again, and what he saw this time would be unforgettable for him.
It was a gloomy day, the Ji family was doing the same thing as usual, and the disaster happened like that without any warning.
A group of mysterious people suddenly came to the Ji family, without any superfluous movements, they were just killing, Ji Chen couldn't see their faces clearly, he could only see one Ji family member after another dying tragically in their hands.
Blood stained the old man's gray hair, and although the mother blocked the merciless sword for the child, the group refused to give up, and even the child was spared!
"Dad, mother, wake up, I don't want you to die!"
"My son...... You brutes, he's just a child!"
"Brute, I'm fighting with you!"
......
The Ji family was in mourning, some people lost their children, some people lost their parents, but the killing did not stop, those mysterious people were like demons, they actually laughed loudly, the laughter was so harsh, so hateful!
Suddenly it rained heavily in the sky, dripping on the demon's face and into the heart of the helpless.
"No, don't!" Ji Chen roared hoarsely at the bloody scene, his eyes were already blood-red, and his eyes were about to split, and he wanted to rush up and tear those mysterious people apart, but Ji Chen couldn't do anything, he could only watch like this.
The Ji family fell in a pool of blood one by one, struggling, never able to stand up again, Ji Chen roared angrily, "Why, why did you kill them? Who are you?"
It's not that the Ji family has no one to resist, and many strong people who are out of reach in Ji Chen's eyes are as vulnerable as a piece of tissue paper in front of the mysterious person.
Later, there were some people who wanted to save this crisis, and their cultivation was obviously higher than those before them, including the old man who announced that Ji Zhongquan would become the fifth-generation patriarch.
Their appearance effectively restrained the mysterious man and bought time for the Ji family to flee for their lives.
These people are like the hope of the Ji family, there is an abyss in front of them, but behind them is the entire Ji family, Ji Chen looked at them with red eyes, and a glimmer of hope was derived from his heart.
I thought that the two sides were in a stalemate, but one of the mysterious people who seemed to be the leader suddenly thundered and wiped out the last hope of the Ji family.
The strong man of the Ji family suffered heavy casualties, and in the end he could not turn the tide.
From beginning to end, Ji Chen didn't see the appearance of that man, the so-called fifth-generation patriarch of the Ji family, he cried and watched the blood flow into a river of Ji family, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Ji Zhongquan, aren't you very powerful? Aren't you the head of the Ji family? You saved them!"
But no matter how Ji Chen roared, the man never appeared, Ji Chen covered his eyes and cried bitterly, he was too disappointed in that man.
The picture ended when he saw this, Ji Chen was pulled back into reality, he opened his eyes and found that he was already in tears at the moment, and he finally knew why he had a feeling of sadness when he first fell into the memory.
"Are you awake, do you see those?" Ji Xiaonian said, although everyone will see different things in the totem, but he has already roughly guessed what Ji Chen saw when he looked at Ji Chen, because he looked at those things and looked exactly the same as Ji Chen.
"I saw the Ji family, and those demons!" Ji Chen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, tried to calm his mind, and said, "What the hell is going on?"
Ji Xiaonian seemed to recall himself at the beginning, and asked the same question as Ji Chen, and then he said slowly: "You should have guessed something, the current Ji family is not the real Ji family"
Ji Chen said secretly: "That's true!" He had guessed this aspect in the totem before, but he was not sure, but now that he heard Ji Xiaonian say this, he was finally sure.
Ji Xiaonian continued: "As far as I know, the original Ji family was not in the desert, and when a sudden disaster occurred, only our clan was transported here to survive."
When Ji Chen heard this, he suddenly realized, and only then did he connect reality and memory.
Ji Xiaonian paused and said: "The ancestors established the Sixiang Dynasty in order to survive, but in order not to attract attention, we have always pursued Taoguang and Yanghui, so we have always had only one capital."
"I see", Ji Chen knows too much about the secrets of the Ji family today, but sometimes the more he knows, it is not a good thing, and his heart is a little heavy at the moment.
"Then do we have to keep catching up like this?" Ji Chen suddenly asked, his words were very direct, and his words were full of unwillingness.
"Alas!" Ji Xiao sighed long, feeling helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't I want to take revenge, but if it is as strong as my ancestors are helpless, what can I, we, do?"
Ji Chen wanted to argue about something, but in the end he held back, because what Ji Xiaonian said was right, he himself saw the situation at that time, as strong as the old man of the Ji family had no choice, even if he went now, it would only add a white bone.
At this time, Ji Xiaonian thought about something, looked at the depressed Ji Chen and said: "But I see hope from you, maybe the Ji family will change because of you!"
Ji Xiaonian's words made a "boom" sound in Ji Chen's mind like thunder, he looked at Ji Xiaonian in shock, and laughed at himself: "But I'm only in the one-yuan realm, and I may not even be an ant in front of them."
"Not now, but I'm very optimistic about your future," Ji Xiaonian said thoughtfully.
"Why?"
"Where there's a will, there's a way, not to mention that your talent is not weak, I believe in you!"
Ji Xiaonian's words moved Ji Chen, he didn't think it was a compliment, but a kind of entrustment and a responsibility.
Although Ji Chen did not experience that disaster, as a member of the Ji family, he was born with the blood of the Ji family, and it is impossible to say that he has nothing to do with him.
But Ji Chen fell into confusion, not that he had no sense of responsibility, but because his dream since childhood was to keep getting stronger and become a strong man who was enough to support the sky.
But now he suddenly told him that his future cultivation was all for revenge and to revitalize the Ji family, and this kind of burden was too heavy for a teenager.
Ji Xiaonian saw Ji Chen's entanglement, sighed and said: "You don't have to promise me anything now, I don't have the right to influence your choice, everyone has their own way to go, and they really shouldn't be burdened with such a burden, maybe the grievances of the predecessors will really be annihilated in the years!"
His words sounded very helpless, but in fact, he was also helpless about his own incompetence, such a burden should have been borne by him, but now he pinned his hopes on a teenager who had not yet grown up.
Ji Chen didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer, if he was a bystander at this time, he would definitely be able to make a decision easily, because he didn't have to really be responsible, but now, he was really entangled.
Ji Xiaonian patted Ji Chen and comforted: "You cultivate hard, just remember that you are a member of the Ji family......!
He smiled and didn't continue, but said, "Okay, put this matter aside for now, and remember, don't mention it to anyone after you go out, including your family."
Ji Chen nodded in response, but his heart was still in a mess, but he was relieved then, after all, whether it is revenge or not, there is still a long way to go, and what he has to do now is to get out of his own way, and it is not too late to think about this matter when he reaches that height in the future.
Ji Xiaonian said again: "Now that you are also the first place in Dabi, it stands to reason that I should let you choose a practice by yourself, but I want to choose it for you today."
