Chapter 16: Returning to the Ancestors (I)
Standing at the entrance of the hall, Cheng Mo looked around the room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was the first time he had ever seen such a large hall. I saw that the hall was boxy, with dozens of tables and chairs and dozens of futons placed horizontally and vertically, which looked a bit like a conference hall.
Cheng Mo thought about it carefully and understood the usefulness of this structure. Imagine that if there are ten elders in a super family, and these elders have their own spouses and heirs, how many people do they have to have, and a room full of people to conduct a family council. Therefore, the Chengjia Hall was constructed into the appearance of a conference hall.
"Look at the road!" At this time, Cheng Liugu, who was next to her, gently shook Cheng Mo's hand.
Cheng Mo came back to his senses and raised his leg to cross the threshold of the Cheng family's hall.
With a sweep of his eyes, Cheng Mo saw several men with a wide range of ages, ranging from their thirties to their fifties, from gray hair to green hair, all ages.
Some of them are sitting, some are standing, some are meditating cross-legged, and they greet themselves in a variety of postures.
Among them, the most familiar is the man sitting on the futon on the right and meditating with his eyes closed - Cheng Zikun. When Cheng Mo saw him, he just opened his eyes, and his familiar and warm gaze fell on Cheng Mo's face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
The most conspicuous thing was an old man sitting in the center of the hall.
His hair and eyebrows were white, but there were no wrinkles on his face, and a pair of bright eyes couldn't help but look Cheng Mo up and down. Judging from his mental state and complexion, he is more energetic than many young people. This old man seems to be the highest in rank and noble status, and he must be the patriarch of the Cheng family.
I saw Cheng Liugu bowing slightly and saluting, "Father, the child has brought it here." β
Sure enough, this is the patriarch of the family - Cheng Lu.
Cheng Lu beckoned, "Child, come here." β
Cheng Mo was in a daze, only to hear Cheng Liugu laugh behind him: "I won't eat you again, why take a few steps forward!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo had no choice but to take a few steps forward and slowly walk to Cheng Lu.
The old man stood up, his eyes full of joy. The old man looked at Cheng for a long time, but saw that this young man had a pair of clear eyes, a straight nose, and that temperament that was neither humble nor arrogant, like the ninth son Cheng Zixiao. Seeing the little boy standing quietly in place, it was as if Cheng Zixiao was back again.
Cheng Mo was uncomfortable with this gaze, and tilted his head unconsciously.
Cheng Liugu fanned the flames and said, "Call grandpa!"
Cheng Mo looked at Cheng Lu carefully, he didn't expect this "grandfather" to be so young, and he didn't look a few years older than Cheng Zikun and others. As everyone knows, after practicing to a certain level, the human body can resist aging and return to a youthful appearance.
Cheng Mo snorted and called out in a low voice: "Masterγ...... Grandfather. β
"Hahahaha, good, good, good!" Cheng Lu said three "good" words, and smiled from ear to ear, "Zixiao has a queen, Zixiao has a queen." β
When everyone saw the old man laughing, they also showed a happy smile.
At this time, a cold voice interrupted the atmosphere in the hall.
"This grandfather must have called too soon. β
The voice was made by a tall, thin man sitting on a futon with his back to the crowd.
This man is the fifth leader of the Cheng family, Cheng Dongfei.
"Why?!"
Cheng Liugu's eyes widened. Cheng Mo, who was instigated by her, called grandpa, but was refuted by Cheng Dongfei, so he naturally couldn't hold his face, so he asked rhetorically.
Cheng Dongfei coughed, looked at Cheng Mo, and asked aggressively: "First, how can you prove that you are members of the Cheng family? Second, the second brother settled you in the plantation behind Lingmai Mountain. There were more than twenty miles from the plantation to the antechamber, and it was full of killing arrays. Although the killing array was set up by the children, and the power was not strong, it was more than enough to deal with a person of the first order of the spirit seed stage. So, how did you get out of the killing formation?"
Cheng Dongfei asked this question abruptly, and everyone was in an uproar.
Previously, Cheng Liugu and others all paid attention to the young man's appearance, personality, identity, and background, but they didn't pay attention to how Cheng Mo came out of the killing array. Now that Cheng Dongfei has brought it up, everyone has praised it.
Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, these two questions are really difficult to answer.
But seeing Cheng Liugu's silence, she said, "Tell Auntie, how did you get out of the killing array?" She had already changed her word "aunt" to "aunt", and she was suspicious and didn't dare to confirm it.
In any case, this young man looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, even if he was the top young master in the world, at this age, it would be difficult for him to come out of the killing array, not to mention that this young man seemed to be just a beginner cultivator.
Cheng Mo was stunned, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't think of what kind of excuse to make up to fool this matter. Ye Lanzhi said that you can't let anyone know that the magic treasure is hidden in you, so you can't mention the insight into all things.
But if there is no reasonable explanation, I am afraid that the Cheng family will continue to ask.
Just as he was hesitating, Jia Sanchang, who had been kneeling next to him, spoke: "Yes...... It's a small one, and it took Young Master Mo out of the killing array. "Jia Sanchang has lived here for more than three years, and he has almost understood the terrain here. For more than a year, he had the audacity to go to the last killing formation, and if it weren't for the Fifth Young Master's "Thousand Killing Sword Formation" secretly moving his position, he would not have been seriously injured.
Cheng Mo was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Jia Sanchang, who had just met him for less than a few hours, to stand up for himself. Cheng Mo's heart moved, and he threw a grateful glance at Jia Sanchang.
Everyone was groaning, only to hear Cheng Dongfei sneer and say, "Really?" He turned his head to the brothers and sisters and said, "I'm tired of you putting up a killing formation, just let this little guy go through it himself, I'll see if he can go out." β
Jia Sanchang gasped and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I...... Let's go?"
Cheng Dongfei said coldly: "Yes." β
Jia Sanchang's face turned pale when he arrived. Let him go by himself, it is definitely a blind man touching an elephant and a blind man touching a fish, once he takes a wrong step, he will never recover. Seeing that all the leaders in the hall nodded again and again, Jia Sanchang's face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled like chaff.
"Five masters...... I ......"
Seeing Cheng Dongfei struggling with each other, Cheng Mo's anger rushed to his heart for no reason, "What's so great about the Cheng family, as if I have to ask the Cheng family for protection!" He glanced at Cheng Dongfei and said to Jia Sanchang: "Don't force Jia Sanchang to break the formation, I'll leave here!"
"Ahh......h
Everyone was dumbfounded, only Cheng Dongfei sneered and was silent.
Cheng Liugu paused and said, "Cheng Mo, you stop!" She jumped into the air, flew into the air, and grabbed Cheng Mo's shoulder. I only heard Cheng Liugu whisper in her ear: "Xi Mu hasn't left Fenglian City yet, I don't want you to go out and die." β
Hearing the words "Xi Mu", Cheng Mo couldn't help but slow down.
He peeked at Cheng Liugu, but saw that Cheng Liugu had a serious expression on his face, which was not like a joke.
Cheng Liugu took a deep breath and said softly, "For me, it doesn't matter how you get out of the killing formation. I believe that you are the son of the ninth brother, and I hope you can prove your identity so that they have nothing to say. "They are naturally referring to the skeptical faction led by Cheng Dongfei.
