It is a great sin to hurt one's kindred.

Especially when it comes to the Jindan Realm, the nature of the matter has become more serious.

If it was an ordinary clansman, even if it was the Jindan Realm, in order to maintain the clan rules, there would be no possibility of exculpation.

However, the head of the family is in the same vein, but the situation is a little different.

For several days, the clan elders have made a lot of trouble over this matter.

There are those who insist on abolishing cultivation and expelling from the clan, and there are also those who open the net and let them think about it.

There are also many clan elders who think that small punishments and big commandments are enough.

As the news spread, the clan elders who were close to the surrounding area also returned one after another to join this war of words.

"Fourth brother, the third elder is back, let you go over to see him."

The third brother, Chen Shaojie, who came back from outside, said to Chen Shaoan.

It's just that the face is a little strange.

He hesitated, but didn't say much.

"What did the three elders say?" Chen Shaoan noticed the abnormality of the third brother, and it was obvious that there were other factors in this.

It's just that it seems that the third brother wants to hide it.

The third brother hesitated and said, "The clan elders will be noisy, and the third elder means that the main thing is to follow your ideas." ”

"If you don't want to forgive, then deal with it directly according to the clan rules, if you think you can talk, they are willing to give enough resources for you to choose."

Chen Shaoan shrugged his shoulders and said a little indifferently: "Say it, third brother." ”

This is a bit inexplicable, but the third brother Chen Shaojie can understand this meaning very well.

After struggling a little, he said: "The head of the family is on the side of the Jingshi, there is just an opportunity, if you agree not to pursue Chen Shaoyun's fault, he is willing to use this opportunity to help the eldest brother and wrestle for the position of commander of the pacification department." ”

Speaking of this, the third brother paused slightly and said, "Or, the head of the family is also willing to agree, let go of the place of the head of the family, and let you get the right to take one more treasure from the family treasury." ”

Hearing this, Chen Shaoan asked, "Can I have both?" ”

At this moment, the third brother was speechless.

Smiling, Chen Shaoan said: "Third brother, don't forget, my cultivation is 'not fake', naturally the future of the eldest brother is the most important, so I don't have much to think about." ”

......

The backyard of the clan, where the clan elders are.

Chen Shao'an followed the servants leading the way in front of him and walked all the way to the courtyard where the three elders were.

This time, it was much more lively than last time, and there were elders everywhere on the roadside, looking at Chen Shaoan with a smile.

After the three elders dealt with Chen Shao'an's affairs, they did not choose to disclose the matter of the divine soul talent to the clan.

is because the people in the family still retain their original impression of Chen Shaoan.

Until this time, the clan elder order of the three elders appeared.

The situation was reversed.

In terms of status, the clan elder is the real helmsman of the Chen family, but ordinary things are basically governed by the head of the family.

But in terms of major rights and wrongs, especially the observance of clan rules, it is up to the clan elders to have the final say.

Therefore, in a sense, Chen Shaoan's status is already beyond imagination.

The clan elders are also human beings, and even require more and higher resources.

In the case of a large number of lifespans in cultivation, the competition between them is even more outrageous and direct than normal people imagine.

It's not that the juniors can't take care of it, but the main thing is that they don't have time and no thoughts.

Chen Shao'an looked at the past, and there were no familiar faces.

It's not that the original body is not familiar, in fact, most of them know.

It's just that Chen Shaoan needs to be retrieved from memory.

Now, whoever it is, just smile and bend down gently as a sign of respect.

The courtyard door opened, and Chen Shaoan walked in.

The servant carefully closed the door.

In the courtyard on the side of the clan elders, it seems that the wall is only two or three meters high, and with the strength of the clan elders, it seems to be non-existent.

In fact, the courtyard of each clan elder has a prohibition similar to partition detection, and the internal sound will also be blocked.

"Shao'an has seen Uncle Dong."

Seeing the three elders standing in the courtyard waiting for him, Chen Shaoan hurriedly saluted.

The third elder was as kind as ever, and looked at Chen Shao'an with a smile and said, "Good boy, I haven't seen you for half a month, and my cultivation has risen a lot." ”

Hearing this, Chen Shaoan was slightly embarrassed.

The practice on weekdays is quite hard, but without the help of external forces, it is really a water grinding kung fu, and the spiritual power runs for a few weeks, and the spiritual power accumulated is as if there is nothing.

Several great realms, as simple as they sound, are actually almost no different from Yugong moving mountains.

"Have you thought about it, how to choose." The Third Elder continued to ask.

did not say whether to punish Chen Shaoyun or not.

Strictly speaking, it was just a cover, a cover for giving an account to other people.

It means to tell everyone that even if it is the head of the family, he cannot escape the punishment of the clan rules and treat everyone equally.

Chen Shaoan's personality is actually relatively mild.

From the beginning to the end, there is no intention of not dying, and the means of struggle are limited to a certain range.

What touches me, all of them kill this feeling of Long Aotian, it's too extreme.

"Uncle Dong, I have thought about it, help the eldest brother wrestle with the commander of the pacification division." Chen Shaoan replied.

The third elder smiled, and there was no surprise about Chen Shao'an's choice.

just reminded him: "That's just a help, not necessarily possible, maybe you haven't seen the treasures of the treasure trove, so you don't feel much." ”

"Well, I'll take you to the family treasury first, and it's not too late to make a decision when you get there."

Chen Shao'an bowed: "Thank you Uncle Dong for your kindness, but Shao'an doesn't need to do it again." ”

The third elder looked at Chen Shao'an seriously, but in fact, in his heart, he had no intention of tempting.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I won't say more, just go with me to the family treasury and have a look."

Chen Shaoan nodded.

It's just that after the three elders finished speaking, they didn't mean to move.

I was about to ask.

As a result of my gaze, all the scenes suddenly began to blur.

Even with consciousness, there is a strong sense of trance.

Immediately afterward, there was an extreme feeling of weightlessness, as if it was already in a rapid motion.

It's like taking a roller coaster for more than ten times, and the body has a lot of discomfort.

Several feelings came over at the same moment, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Shao'an had already built a foundation and transformed into a mortal, and his physical fitness was not bad, he would have vomited a lot at this moment.

Grunt.

The body shook subconsciously, and then it improved slightly, and then there was a strong sense of coldness, and goosebumps came out.

It's like being in a cold cellar.

When I looked up, I found myself in a dark ancestral hall.

Outside the window, it was not the previous sunny day, but it came directly into the middle of the night.

The shadows of the swaying leaves are reflected in the papier-mâché windows, swaying in the wind.

The room was lit with red candles.

The mahogany seats, neatly visited, have a thick pulp on them, and if you look closely, they are still dark red, as if the blood stains have dried.

In the center of the ancestral hall, there is a wall full of spiritual tablets.

It is engraved with the names of the ancestors of the Chen family.

What made Chen Shaoan feel a little hairy the most was that in front of these spirit cards, there was an incense burner.

On the incense burner, there are three sticks of incense.

At first glance, it looks relatively normal, but if you concentrate a little, you can find that the incense burned in front of each spirit card is burned faster on the left and right, and slower in the middle.

People taboo three long and two short, incense taboo two short and one long.

This does not bode well.

On the contrary, the big murderer!

Immediately, Chen Shao'an's eyes were attracted by the constantly burning incense mist.

The incense mist in front of those spirit tablets condensed and did not disperse, drifting towards the rhythm upwards.

Looking up, on the girder of the head, a quaint and old bell hangs from the hemp rope.

And these incense mist are all around the bell, as if wrapped in spirituality.

It's just that the incense mist continues to be superimposed, and the surroundings of the bell have not become thicker, and there is no more or less for a long time.

Coming back to his senses, Chen Shaoan subconsciously looked at the three elders in front of him.

I saw the third elder looking at him with a smile, and he didn't mean to urge.

"It's the first time you enter the ruins, where you are now, it can be said that it is our Chen family ancestral hall, and it is also the family treasure house, the entrance to the ruins."

The Third Elder introduced with a smile.

Chen Shao'an looked at the moonlight outside and couldn't help asking; "Uncle Dong, are we still in Qingzhou now?"

The Three Elders explained; "The ruins are self-contained, belonging to Qingzhou, but not to Qingzhou."

"Where we are now, it is also the ancestral hall of the clan, or the other side of the ancestral hall."

"But you know what I mean?"

Chen Shaoan nodded.

This is not difficult for him to understand, in some words of his previous life, it is like the existence of a subspace.

It's just that for some reason, Chen Shaoan has a very strange sense of familiarity.

According to the words of the three elders, this is not a family treasure house, but just an entrance.

It's just a separate room, and there's no entrance in sight, is it a hidden passage hidden in the wall?

"Uncle Dong, what's going on with these incense mist and the bells on them?"

Chen Shaoan asked with some curiosity.

Obviously, as far as the ancestral hall is concerned, the most special place is the incense mist bell.

Hearing this, the faces of the three elders became serious, but they didn't mean to make a fool of themselves.

"The one hundred and eight spirit tablets here are the one hundred and eight ancestors of my Chen family."

"They are not at the end of their lives, nor are they fighting with others, or dying in battle."

"Instead, he voluntarily sacrificed his soul to forbid the method of refining, and was imprisoned in this incense burner."

"The incense you see is the soul-burning incense, and what is burned in it is the souls of the ancestors in the incense burner."

Chen Shaoan gasped, only feeling that his scalp was numb.

What a cruel torture it is to use fire as a guide and burn the soul and soul, and it is even more evil than the evil spirit.

If the Divine Soul Consciousness is still there, what is the difference between this and entering the eighteen layers of hell?

Xu saw Chen Shao'an's thoughts, and the third elder explained: "Before imprisoning the incense burner, the ancestors' spiritual thoughts have been wiped out, and there is no need to endure this suffering. ”

Hearing this, Chen Shaoan felt a little better, otherwise he still had a sense of suffocation and a taste of speechlessness.

The Third Elder continued, "There are two floors in the Ruins Cave Heaven, and where we are now is the first layer, which is equivalent to the entrance. ”

"It's small and big. The place we are in now is relatively safe. ”

Speaking of this, the three elders looked outside: "Outside the door, it is the real vicious place, and many unknown terrifying existences are wandering outside. ”

"Some even if they encounter the God Transformation Realm, they are still dead and lifeless, this is the understanding that countless ancestors have exchanged their lives for thousands of years."

As he was talking, a strange scream suddenly sounded outside.

It sounded far away, but it felt very close, like a child crying, like the wind blowing in the jungle, and there was a sound of rustling.

Just hearing this sound, I felt a strong feeling of nausea in my heart.

It's like a fingernail scraping on glass.

The Third Elder said at the right time: "Although it is safe here, you can't stay too long, if you stay for a long time, those 'dirty things' outside will smell it." ”

"Once they find it, there is almost no chance of survival."

Having said that, the three elders did not mean to be eager or nervous, and they were obviously very familiar with the 'rules' here.

Chen Shao'an listened quietly, and after the three elders' continuous explanations, he also had a lot of guesses in his heart.

The Third Elder continued, "If you want to leave here, whether you go out or go down, there is only one way, and that is to find the key. ”

"The bell you see is the key."

"And finding the key is the hardest part."

"The reason why you can see the presence of the bell now is because of the soul burning incense here, which is constantly wrapped around it, forcing it to show its traces."

"In other ruins, all the 'keys' have a common speciality, which cannot be perceived, touched, or seen."

"This 'key', even if it is placed in front of you, you can't see it, you can't touch it, it's not the feeling of invisibility, but even if you touch it, you don't know that you have touched it."

Hearing this, Chen Shaoan's eyes gradually became strange.

The third elder didn't notice it, but continued to sigh and say: "Every cave heaven has a cave heaven rules, and every time the cave heaven is discovered, it means that a large number of monks have fallen. ”

"The 'key' only shows some traces that can be found when it comes into contact with the essence blood, so often at this time, a large number of monks will kill each other."

"In the blood of others, it is revealed. There were also people who thought about using a more peaceful way, such as preparing the essence blood in advance and spilling it everywhere. ”

"It's a pity that the 'key' can only be perceived when it is stained with the blood of the living."

"And at the bottom of every cave, there may be huge wealth, all forces are crazy about it, maybe a certain object in the cave can make a new force rise."

Speaking of this, the three elders sighed leisurely: "The ancestor of our Chen family made his fortune based on this. ”

Chen Shaoan only knew.

It turned out that the dark red stains on the floor, on the seats, on the desk, and even on the pillars and walls.

It's really bloodstained.

It is conceivable that in this ancestral hall of less than 200 square meters, how many people have to die to make every place here stained with blood.

No wonder, the incense on the incense burner is all two short and one long.

With such a big grievance, it's no wonder that when I first came in, I had a feeling of swishing.

Suddenly, I only felt a pain in the middle finger of my right hand, and when I looked down, a small hole was opened in my middle finger, and a drop of blood was sucked out of thin air.

This is naturally the means of the three elders.

I saw this drop of blood fly up out of thin air and land on the bell above.

Afterwards, Chen Shaoan felt a strange feeling of heart-to-heart connection.

Through this link, he saw a semi-illusory door appear in the middle of the ancestral hall.

It was a very ordinary door, made of ordinary wood, tightly closed.

There are some decayed and mottled traces of time on the door, and the smell of the trees on the wooden blocks seems to have some kind of peculiar rhythm.

Although it is very old, it is very clean, without the slightest dust, as if someone has wiped it frequently.

"Let's go, open this door, and behind it is the family treasure house, which is also the real ruin cave."

"The hour is almost up, and if I stay any longer, I can't suppress it alone."

The three elders seemed to be able to see without dripping blood, and as they spoke, the door opened automatically.

A thick fog emanated from inside the door, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Just as the third elder's voice fell, the strange sound outside seemed to be constantly approaching.

The wind was howling, and the leaves reflected in the windows were swaying even more violently under the strong wind.

The third elder grabbed Chen Shao'an's hand and walked in.

The moment he stepped into the door, Chen Shaoan felt that his consciousness was briefly blurred.

It's very slight, if it weren't for Chen Shao'an's many experiences, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.

When I reacted again, I had already come to a cave in the ground.

didn't have time to feel the surrounding scene, and the bronze gate dozens of meters high in front of him had already attracted Chen Shao'an's gaze.

The bronze door, which is full of quaint bronze doors, seems to be made in a rough way, and is covered with patina, dust, and no runes, reliefs, or other decorations.

It's a flat, two-page bronze portal.

Above the portal, there is no handle in sight.

Standing in front of this bronze gate dozens of meters high, Chen Shao'an and the three elders were as small as ants.

Without saying more, Chen Shaoan immediately felt that a very strong divine thought, undisguised, as if examining a prisoner, glanced at himself domineeringly.

After a brief glance at the past, the divine thought was already withdrawn, and then there was a 'boom'.

The bronze portal began to shake, dust splattered around it, and a hole slowly appeared.

Like the wooden door of the ancestral hall, a thick fog emanated.

The third elder did not rush in, but took out a cloth bag from his body and threw it down.

And explained to Chen Shao'an: "Where the treasure house is located, there are unique 'rules', but everything with Qiankun attributes will be squeezed and broken. ”

"Many ruins also have such 'rules', so when you go out to practice in the future, when you enter the ruins, remember not to carry the treasures of Qiankun."

After speaking, the three elders took the lead and walked in, followed by Chen Shao'an.
