Chapter 322: Ancestor of the Ren Family
An old man with a fairy wind bone, a strong aura, and a strength that was obviously more than a cut higher than him suddenly showed a mysterious smile at him, and Ren Hantang was deeply frightened at that moment.
Thanks to Ren Hanyue's long-term brainwashing, Ren Hantang is most afraid that others will be attentive to him.
The strange behavior of the white-bearded old man made Ren Hantang suspect him for the first time, but just when he was secretly wary of the other party's sudden move, the old man actually spoke with a friendly smile.
He asked Ren Hantang, "Are you surnamed Ren?"
Ren Hantang was shocked - just a moment, this old man had already figured out his origin?
He subconsciously touched his spirit beast bag, "Actually, this old man is Bai Yu's relative, right?"
Because he was too surprised, Ren Hantang forgot to cut off the telepathy between himself and Bai Yu for a while.
Bai Yu in the spirit beast bag heard his belly slander clearly, and the white divine beast, which had always been calm and dignified, was immediately unhappy, "Are your eyeballs for decoration? I can't even tell if the other party is a human or a demon, what's the use of you keeping them?"
Hearing that the contractor who had always been proud of his "understanding of etiquette and demeanor" fired at him, Ren Hantang realized what stupid thing he had done.
However, Bai Yu's words also reminded him that this white-bearded old man was really a human being.
Well, to be exact, this old man with a white beard must have been a human at one time.
As for now, Ren Hantang took a slight look and saw that the other party was just a remnant of divine thoughts.
"You don't have to be nervous, the old man has no ill will towards you. The white-bearded old man saw through Ren Hantang's vigilance against him at a glance, and he stroked his beard and said to Ren Hantang with a smile: "Sit down and chat with the old man." The old man hasn't been out for thousands of years, and he's very curious about the outside world. ”
Ren Hantang hesitated for a moment and sat down.
Anyway, with the strength of the other party, even if it is just a wisp of residual thoughts, he still can't beat it.
Instead of trembling and fighting to confront each other, it is better for him to go with the flow and come to block it with a soldier and cover it with water.
"Then the junior is better to be respectful, I don't know what you want to know, senior?" Waving his sleeves to brush away the thick dust on the ground, Ren Hantang sat down cross-legged opposite the old man.
"The old man wants to know where the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang mutton fat spirit jade pendant on your waist comes from. The old man was obviously extremely persistent in Ren Hantang's life experience, he pointed to the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang mutton fat spirit jade pendant hanging from Ren Hantang's waist with one hand, and still stroked his beard unhurriedly with the other.
Ren Hantang frowned, "This is passed down by the great-grandfather of the younger generation." When the younger generation was young, the younger generation's father passed it on to the younger generation. ”
Although it is not an unsightly origin, Ren Hantang is still a little unhappy in his heart when he is so asked.
If he hadn't been able to beat this white-bearded old man, he would never have answered such a nonsensical question.
The old man was just as if he hadn't seen Ren Hantang's ugly face, and he eagerly asked Ren Hantang, "So, this jade pendant is your family's ancestor?"
Ren Hantang nodded, "That's what my grandfather told my father. ”
The old man was stunned, "Your grandfather?"
Ren Hantang knew what the old man was surprised about, and he explained simply, "My great-grandfather and grandparents died early, and my father was raised by my maternal grandfather. ”
When the old man heard this, there was a real sadness in his eyes.
Ren Hantang's heart jumped at the sight of his sad expression, and he tentatively asked the white-bearded old man, "Senior, are you okay?"
The white-bearded old man wiped his eyes, "It's okay." I just remembered my son who was struggling so hard. ”
Ren Hantang wanted to speak and stopped.
Dry comfort was useless, but with his relationship with the old man, it was not easy for him to have a deep conversation with the other party, so he simply closed his mouth and stopped talking.
However, the old man himself took the initiative to talk about the sad past, "The old man has been obsessed with seeking Taoism all his life, and when his strength was at its peak, he even created the inheritance of Sumeru Palace and supported it to become one of the several major sects in the Holy Continent. However, because of the carelessness of accepting apprentices, the old man brought great disasters to himself, his only son and his henchmen, not only the old man and the old man's henchmen and subordinates were all killed by the rebels, but even the only son of the old man was also implicated by the old man and had to go incognito and die in the world. For thousands of years, the old man has kept a trace of his divine thoughts alive, in order to see the old man's descendants with his own eyes. ”
He saw that Ren Hantang's eyes were full of love, but Ren Hantang felt that his goosebumps were about to rise - although this old man talked about the past lightly, how could Ren Hantang not hear the danger?
This bloody drama that has lasted from thousands of years ago to the present, he doesn't want to get involved in it himself.
Barely squeezing out a smile, he tentatively said to the old man: "I'm afraid that my predecessors have recognized the wrong person, my great-grandfather and grandparents are just nameless cultivators in Cangzhou, and my father is a middle-aged person who only got the opportunity to embark on the immortal path, which is completely different from the person the predecessor is looking for." As for the jade pendant, it is also possible that there are similarities. ”
The old man's eyes were implied with sadness, "Too much time has passed, you are already the heir of the old man ten generations later, and it is not strange that you have no feelings for the old man." ”
Ren Hantang couldn't stand people showing weakness to him the most, especially since the person who showed weakness was still an old man with white hair and beard.
The most important thing is that there is still a blood bond between this old man and him.
The heirs of immortal cultivators have always been scarce, and even if they are separated by ten generations, they are still extremely precious to this old man.
Especially now that the old man's sons, grandsons, great-grandchildren, etc., have all been reincarnated.
As soon as the sympathy came up, Ren Hantang's attitude softened unconsciously when he spoke again.
Although he still felt quite embarrassed in the face of a strange old man's loving gaze and closeness to flatter, his expression and tone were a little less wary and more sincere, "Senior, what you said is too sudden for the junior, please give the junior a little time." ”
Although Ren Hantang did not explicitly say that he had believed in the white-bearded old man, the attitude of his willingness to communicate frankly with the other party revealed in his words made the other party uncontrollably happy.
The old man said a few "good" words one after another, "Let's take our time, take our time." ”
Ren Hantang replied to him with a smile, "If the seniors are willing, you might as well tell the juniors about the ins and outs of the old things." ”
The old man also had this intention, he nodded again and again, and then talked about his life with a bit of reminiscence.
The old man's biological father was a collateral descendant of a small immortal cultivation family in the Holy Continent, and his biological mother was a mortal woman with an extremely beautiful face.
