In the secluded courtyard, everyone sat down one after another in Xiao Zhen's words.

It's just that at this time, Xiao Zhen and the three elders still couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes, as for Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yun and Xiao Chi were puzzled, especially Xiao Yuan could be said to be the elder of many people in the Xiao family, but he had never heard about the white round jade pendant in Xiao Tian's hand, and he couldn't help but be more curious

Of course, Xiao Tian was also extremely curious

As if just in case, Xiao Zhen waved his hand to lay down a layer of enchantment to envelop the entire secluded courtyard, and then said to Xiao Tian, "Tian'er, take out the jade pendant again and show it to me."

These words turned out to be an inquiry, and there was even a hint of flattery in the words, which immediately surprised Xiao Tian and several others.

"The head of the house is serious, please please"

Xiao Tian hurriedly took out the jade pendant and handed it to Xiao Zhen with both hands.

At this time, Xiao Zhen had a solemn face, as if he was on a pilgrimage, and then he took the jade pendant from Xiao Tian's hand with great respect.

"That's it, that's it"

"It's exactly as fortunate as recorded in the classics, it seems that my Xiao family is really blessed, it's great"

Xiao Zhen chattered endlessly while looking at the jade pendant, and at this time, the three elders also came over with a solemn face, their expressions were almost no different from Xiao Zhen's, they were all so excited

"Oh my God, this"

Xiao Yuan cast a puzzled look at Xiao Tian, Xiao Yun and Xiao Chi were the same, looking forward to getting some explanations from Xiao Tian

After all, no matter how good or precious it is, it is absolutely impossible for the head of the family and the three elders to have such an attitude

"To be honest, I don't really know what's going on"

Xiao Tian smiled bitterly, "I only know that this jade pendant has the effect of clearing the heart and eyes, expelling demons, and wearing it for a long time can speed up the cultivation speed, as for what else is special, I really don't know."

It seemed that after observing the jade pendant, and it seemed that he had heard Xiao Tian's words, Xiao Zhen suddenly said, "Tian'er, and a few of you don't know, in fact, this jade pendant is called Heavenly Evil Jade, which is the inheritance token of our Xiao family."

"Inheritance token of the Xiao family"

Hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Xiao Tian and the others suddenly turned pale, and their surprises were overwhelming.

"The head of the house, it's not right."

Xiao Tian suddenly said, "This jade pendant gives me only half of the feeling, if it is a family inheritance token, how can it be left outside, this is called Heavenly Evil Jade, how can it have such a strange name?"

In fact, there were still two points that Xiao Tian hadn't said, the name of this Heavenly Evil Jade was so similar to the Six Tribulations Heavenly Evil Technique he had cultivated before. As for the second point, Xiao Tian was even more strange, he was very familiar with the name Heavenly Evil Jade, as if he had a familiarity engraved on his soul, but he searched all over his memory, and he didn't know where he had heard the word Heavenly Evil Jade

For a while, Xiao Tian was full of curiosity about that mysterious person, and he had an urge to trace the source

"Well, since you all want to know, I'll talk to you."

Xiao Zhen's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "But you have to remember that this is the secret of our Xiao family, and it must not be passed on to other people's ears, even if it is the closest to you."

"It's us who remember," the crowd bowed their heads.

Xiao Zhen then put the Heavenly Evil Jade on the table in front of everyone, and said slowly, "In ancient times, it was also about 20,000 years ago, the first head of our Xiao family was named Xiao Jing Ancestor."

"In ancient times, our Xiao family was a secular family, and the continent at that time was divided into five continents, southeast, northwest, and middle, and our Xiao family was a medium family in Dongzhou, the father of the ancestor was the city lord of a city in Dongzhou, and the ancestor also had a younger brother, who was the ancestor of Xiao Feng."

"Speaking of which, Ancestor Xiao Feng is the real founder of our Xiao family, but because Ancestor Xiao Feng has broken the void, he has taken his family away from the distractions of the world, and he is leisurely in the world, but there is a rumor that Ancestor Xiao Feng and his wives have reached the magical point of coexisting and dying with heaven and earth, maybe until now, Ancestor Xiao Feng is still watching everything about us somewhere."

"Ahh

Hearing Xiao Zhen say this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but exclaim, it seemed that he couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Zhen's words, but in fact, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if with Xiao Zhen's words, a familiar picture quickly flashed in his mind, but Xiao Tian couldn't grasp it

"What's going on"

Xiao Tian frowned tightly, but at this time, Xiao Zhen slowly continued after glancing at him, "After Ancestor Xiao Feng helped Ancestor establish the Xiao family, he took his family to break through the air, leaving behind two jade pendants, one of which is this piece of Heavenly Evil Jade from Tian'er."

"Master, please wait"

When Xiao Tian heard this, he immediately frowned and interrupted, "You said that this was left to the family by Xiao Feng's ancestor, but why did you go out and then be given to me by that mysterious senior?"

"According to the classics, this was when the seventh head of the family was in power, and the Heavenly Evil Jade suddenly disappeared, leaving only the Heavenly Evil in the world, and the Xiao family inherited the eight-character proverb."

Xiao Zhen didn't blame Xiao Tian for interrupting, and continued in a condensed voice, "But I didn't expect that I would actually see the Heavenly Evil Jade, it's really God has eyes."

"Ugh. Ahem"

Xiao Tian coughed lightly, and said, "Family Master, you just said that Xiao Feng's ancestor left two jade pendants, so there is one more in addition to the Heavenly Evil Jade."

"This is it"

Xiao Zhen smiled, and with a flick of his hand, a black round jade pendant immediately appeared in the sight of several people, its size and shape were exactly the same as the Heavenly Evil Jade, except for the different colors, there was no difference at all.

No, there is still a difference, the breath on the two jade pendants is different, presumably because of the different effects they can play

"This is the sign of every head of the family, Black Flowing Jade"

Xiao Zhen said slowly, "The Black Flowing Jade has two functions, the first is to control the entire clan, and the second, it is the key to unlocking the secret vault in our clan."

"Control Clan Lands"

The second role is easy to understand, but the first one is to make everyone stunned and shocked.

"Not bad"

When a few people were surprised, Xiao Zhen continued, "Our Xiao family's clan land was actually created by Xiao Feng's ancestors with great magical powers, in order to give our Xiao family a fundamental place for inheritance, and each patriarch will be recognized by Heiliuyu before he can take office, because only Heiliuyu can truly control the clan land If there is any danger, the patriarch can close the clan land through Heiliuyu, and no one can break through Of course, if it is not a last resort, he will definitely not take this last road."

"Can you show me?" Xiao Tian asked tentatively, very curious.

"Look"

Xiao Zhen was very generous and handed the black flowing jade to Xiao Tian, but Xiao Tian took the black flowing jade and carefully compared it with the heavenly evil jade in his hand, there was indeed no difference at all except for the difference in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have a bold guess in his heart.

Mo Feitian Evil Jade also has the same effect as Black Flowing Jade

As if seeing what Xiao Tian was thinking, Xiao Zhen smiled slightly and said, "The Black Flowing Heavenly Evil Jade is originally one, and it has played a vital role in the improvement of Xiao Feng's ancestor's strength, but after separation, the Black Flowing Jade and the Heavenly Evil Jade have different functions, the Black Flowing Jade is the symbol of the inheritance of the family master, and the Heavenly Evil Jade is used to assist in cultivation, as for the other specific functions, the classics have not elaborated on them."

After a pause, Xiao Zhen continued, "If the evil jade was given to you by someone today, then you must put it away in the future, and you must not lose it."

"Well, I understand"

Xiao Tian bowed his head heavily, and put away their respective jade pendants together with Xiao Zhen, but at this moment, Xiao Chi on the side asked, "Family Master, as far as I know, in ancient times, cultivators were all sword cultivators, and then after the development of time, different kinds of weapons appeared, so could it be that our Xiao family also started with sword cultivation and the other four families?"

"Of course"

Xiao Zhen bowed his head and said, "All along, no matter how changes change in the Heavenly Domain, our Xiao family is at the head of the five major families, this is all the credit of Xiao Feng's ancestors, but our juniors have not done enough, so that today's Xiao family is far inferior to the past, and I, the head of the family, am really ashamed of our Xiao family's ancestors."

Indeed, the current Xiao family is completely no longer as strong as before, and the first throne is in jeopardy, which makes Xiao Zhen, the head of the family, feel guilty.

"I've looked through some classics, and the other four families seem to have been inherited from antiquity, but they all seem to have changed their surnames, so what's going on?" Xiao Chi continued.

"The specific situation is not very clear, but I have seen some of the secrets of our Xiao family"

Xiao Zhen said slowly, "In the ancient period, Xiao Feng's ancestor became the first person to be expected, and there were four elders under his command, namely the Liu clan, the Gongye clan, the Lei clan and the Huang clan, who managed the eastern, western, southern and northern regions respectively under the command of Xiao Feng's ancestor. ”

"Well, the Duanmu family is in the east, the Huangfu family is in the west, the Qin family is in the south, and the Zhao family, which ranks fifth, is in the north, so these families correspond to the four surnames," Xiao Chi continued to ask with a deep groan.

"Hmm"

Xiao Zhen nodded, and said in a deep voice, "This is related to the deepest secrets of our five major families, and you must remember not to spread it after you know it today."

"Yes"

Everyone bowed their heads one after another, but the surprise in their hearts could not be concealed.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Tian asked, "Family Master, as you said, the current four major families should actually belong to our Xiao family's subsidiary families, but why is it like this, it seems that the Duanmu family has been coveting our Xiao family's first position?"

"The so-called human heart is like this"

After listening to Xiao Tian's question, Xiao Zhen sighed and smiled bitterly, "It's still those two words, strength can only be respected by real strength, and people dare not disobey"
