05 Prepare the vest
In the Chen family's land, Chen Chao stopped the fourth brother Chen Yuanlong, who was about to leave after the clan meeting near the family meeting hall.
"Little brother, is there anything you want me to do?"
Chen Yuanlong smiled, looked at Chen Chao and asked.
"Fourth brother, now that the family is facing a crisis, does the clan have a long-term plan?"
Chen Chao asked his fourth brother directly to the point, and at the same time, the voice of the word 'long-term' was deliberately accentuated.
"Alas......" Chen Yuanlong sighed, "My father disappeared in the extraterritorial battlefield, and at present, we have sent people to the national capital to ask the lord of the country to send people to search, after all, my father is still in the national protection army, and the lord of the country will not refuse us." ”
"If, I mean, assuming my father is killed in battle, what will happen to our family?"
Chen Chao said in a serious tone.
Chen Yuanlong listened to Chen Chao's words, his brows furrowed slightly, even though many people in the family had already determined in their hearts that the head of the family was more than lucky this time, but no one had ever put forward this assumption, perhaps because he didn't want to think about it.
Chen Yuanlong took a deep breath and replied lightly: "Junior brother, I know that you are worried about the future of the family, but at present, with your strength, you don't need to think about these for the time being, you should leave more energy and continue to cultivate, the foundation building period is only the beginning of cultivation, as for the affairs of the family, with me and your eldest brother here, it will be fine." ”
Seeing that Chen Chao wanted to say something more, Chen Yuanlong waved his hand.
"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you, don't worry, when the eldest brother breaks through the Yuan Infant Period, the problem can be solved."
Chen Chao had no choice but to let the fourth brother leave, but unfortunately he knew in his heart that the eldest brother and the fourth brother still wanted to delay time and hope to find their father.
There is no way, the fourth brother can't get through here, he can only come to the retreat room of the eldest brother Chen Yuanqing.
"Fifth Master, the Great Elder is still in retreat, and he has left a message before, but he doesn't see anyone."
Outside the retreat room, the guard politely stopped Chen Chao and said in a respectful tone.
"It's okay, I just want to ask my eldest brother about something, and you can pass it on on your behalf."
Chen Chao replied gently, although he knew Chen Yuanqing's current state, he would not expose it, since the eldest brother and the fourth brother had already released the wind, then he had to accompany them to continue the play.
"That'...... All right. ”
The guard had an embarrassed expression, but Chen Chao, as the son of the head of the family, had a transcendent status, and he could only do special things, so he bowed and walked towards the secret room reflexively.
It didn't take long for the guard to return again, and said in a respectful tone: "Fifth Master, the Great Elder replied, everything will be said after he breaks through the retreat." ”
"I believe in your ......"
The corners of Chen Chao's mouth twitched slightly, it seems that the eldest brother has entered the play quite deeply...... Or maybe I'm so fascinated by reading novels that I can't even see faces, let alone discuss the future of the family with him.
Back in his room, Chen Chao asked the maid to prepare some meals.
While eating the dishes, Chen Chao asked the maid next to him, "The patriarch has never returned from the extraterritorial battlefield, what is the voice in the family?" ”
This maid has followed Chen Chao since she was a child, and she is also a side branch of the family, so she immediately bowed slightly and replied: "Back to the fifth master, although everyone in the clan is very worried about the safety of the head of the family, they still believe that the head of the family will be safe and sound."
Besides, the Great Elder is a late Jindan cultivator, in Cold Wind City, in addition to the Yuan Infant Ancestor of other families, and the City Lord, the Great Elder is the first person under the Yuan Infant, who dares to provoke us easily? ”
Chen Chao listened to the maid's words and nodded noncommittally.
When the meal was over, the maid had finished cleaning up the scraps, and then left the room and closed the door.
Only then did a wry smile appear on Chen Chao's face, the family monk is like this, I believe that there is not a person in the family who thinks like a maid, under the protection of the family, although there is no hard work of casual cultivation, he has also lost his sense of crisis.
"After all, I'm just a junior who has just broken through the foundation building, although my status is high enough, but I don't have the power to make decisions, but the eldest brother and the fourth brother's current thoughts, as well as the consciousness in the family, all consider things too simply, if at this time, it would be nice to have an elder who supports him......"
When Chen Chao thought of this, his eyes were suddenly stunned, and then gradually lit up, and he had a relatively bold idea......
Chen's collection of scriptures.
Chen Chao held a Chen family tree in his hand and carefully examined it, and as the records were let go, his eyes lit up and he stayed on one record.
Jiang Xuegong of the Chen family, the fifth generation of the Chen clan, was chivalrous when he was young, so he made friends with scattered cultivators and strangers, and often traveled all over the world, sometimes one or two years back, sometimes three or five years without returning, once said: I want to view the world, but I can't get my wish, the big husband is determined to be in the Quartet, how can he be trapped in one place? In 1627 of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Jiang Yuegong and his family said that they went north to see Canglong, but they did not return, and the people in the clan searched for nothing but to give up.
Chen Chao looked at this record carefully, and suddenly felt that Jiang Xue Gong was really a tailor-made vest for his Heavenly Demon clone, Chen Chao's father was the sixth generation of the clan, and now the fifth generation of the clan is basically ancient, the upper limit of the foundation Shouyuan is 200 years old, the upper limit of the Jindan period is 500 years old, and the Yuan Infant period is about 1,000 years old.
As long as his Heavenly Demon clone advances to the Jindan Period, and then deduces that he is injured and can't make a move, it's not that he can't fool the past, and he can also use this as an excuse to explain why he hasn't returned to the family for many years, plus his own little erudite reputation in the family, it's not impossible to make the fake come true, the big deal is a try, if he succeeds, he has the identity vest of the family ancestor, and he can turn passive into active and lead the family on the right path.
Thinking of this, Chen Chao once again carefully checked all the records about Chen Jiangxue in the family, and even took advantage of the convenience of his identity to slightly modify the family photo about Chen Jiangxue.
After everything was ready, Chen Chao left the Golden Pavilion and walked outside, and then he needed to raise the strength of the Heavenly Demon Clone to the Jindan Period, because at least the Jindan cultivation could cover most of the virtual reality of the Heavenly Demon Clone, so that the eldest brother and the fourth brother could not see the flaws, but the resources required for the Heavenly Demon Clone to break through could only be prepared by himself, Chen Chao decided to find an opportunity to let the Heavenly Demon Clone go to the surrounding cities and shoot the Blue Ice Stone.
There is also the need to deal with the heart demon tribulation, you need to go to the White Feather Chamber of Commerce to prepare some props to protect the heart god and explore the illusion, Chen Chao originally did not plan to risk improving the strength of the heavenly demon clone, but the plan can't keep up with the changes, but even so, you still need to make the necessary preparations.
Originally, Chen Chao was still thinking about what he needed to prepare next, but it was a voice like a male duck's throat.
"Oops! Isn't this the fifth master of the Chen family? Where are you going in such a hurry? Are you ready to run? ”
Chen Chao raised his eyes to look at the source of the voice, and saw that the person who spoke was a gloomy young man with slender eyes and a pale face, this person Chen Chao also knew, he was a child of a small family in Cold Wind City, called Zhao Wufei, who had met with him several times before, and had the impression that although this person spoke vulgarly, he was still more respectful to himself.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Chen Chao decided to ignore this guy for now, will the lion care about the barking of the jackal? When the crisis of the Chen family passes, he has a way to make him regret it.
However, Chen Chao ignored him, and this Zhao was even more arrogant.
"Why didn't the fifth master reply to my words? Wasn't your Chen family very arrogant before? Why are they all mute now? ”
Chen Chao frowned and looked at this person, and asked in a low voice that could only be heard between the two of them, "Do you kid want to die?" ”
The servant beside Zhao Wufei quietly tugged at his master's sleeve when he heard the words, a little scared, after all, the Chen family's power in Cold Wind City was deep-rooted, and it was far from being comparable to the Zhao family.
However, the master, who had always been gloomy and introverted, was uncharacteristic this time, and sneered again: "Hehe, Chen Lao Wu! I respect you, call you the fifth master, don't you know how to lift, your Chen family is in big trouble this time, maybe the clan will be wiped out, and the master is pretending to be here? If you obediently call me Zhao Ye, I don't mind letting you come to our Zhao family to eat at that time. ”
"Hehe......"
Chen Chao sneered in his heart, this guy didn't know who he was instructed to provoke him, it seemed that he was a temptation to his Chen family, since he couldn't dodge, then he would fight back, only to see Chen Chao's figure flashing, his figure was like a ghost, and he came to Zhao Wufei in an instant.
'Smack! Syllable! Syllable! It's just three mouths to breathe out.
slapped that Zhao Wuyi dizzy.
"You! You! You ......"
The corners of Zhao Wufei's mouth were bleeding, and he pointed at Chen Chao speechless.
Chen Chao ignored him, as if he was just looking at a clown, glared at him, and walked past him towards the shop of the White Feather Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, in a restaurant in the distance, a young man wearing a luxurious robe and a black mole in the corner of his eye said, 'Brush! He opened the folding fan in his hand, and his eyes were cold, looking at Chen Chao.
"Foundation-level body method? Fun, funny ......"
