"Which of the four major families are you, the Zhao family, or the Chen family?" The old patriarch asked.

We didn't even know how to answer him for a while, so we all chose to be silent.

"Among the four major families, the Zhao family has been away from the mainland for many years, and the Chen family has been living in a simple and mysterious place all these years, and I rarely know about them. But I know that you are definitely not from the Wang family, and the female doll of the Wang family I saw not long ago is really a good child! ”

Seeing that we didn't speak, the old patriarch continued, "It's a pity that her brother didn't fight and let the Wang family fall into a catastrophe from which she could never recover, otherwise she would not have been involved." ”

"Wang family, Wang Haiyan?" I guessed, "Sure enough, she came too." ”

"Why can't she come if you can come? Besides, since ancient times, there are almost no outsiders who can enter the throat of this place except for the people of your four major families, because if outsiders go in, they can't get out! ”

I asked, "So, old man, do you know all the people who go in this place?" ”

The old patriarch shook his head and said, "How can I have such great powers, I don't know about the other people, but I still know a little bit about the four major families." ”

"The four families, that is, the Chen family, the Zhao family, the Wang family, and the Fan family, right!" Jeonko asked silently behind him.

"What the young man said is good but not all right, the early four families are indeed these four families, but with the change of times, the Zhao family has gone far away to Siberia, the Fan family is still tossing except for Fan Wazi, and no one else has a letter, and the current strength may be the Chen family and the Wang family!" The old man said.

"Why, besides these four major families, there are other forces that are also looking for the Wansheng Stone?" I asked.

The old man replied, "Yes, the power to find the Wansheng Stone in this world now is far more than these four families, and these four families do not represent the strongest power now. ”

A few of us were completely overwhelmed when we heard this, and we couldn't imagine that an old man in the deep mountains would know so many things about the four major families, and a few of us didn't know anything about them.

The old patriarch seemed to fall into memory, "Ah, I want to think about it, by the way, I remember that a group of people also entered more than ten years ago, and I know that they are from the Zhao family." ”

"People from the Zhao family? How did you find out? ”

"Because the people of the Zhao family came to the village to look for Fan Qunping before, I was not the patriarch at that time, and I saw one of them in the crowd. Later, Fan Qunping left here, and the group of people went to the village to look for him before they entered the cave, but he was no longer here, so they wanted me to show them the way, and their identities were hidden from me, but I recognized them at a glance. The old man said, "I don't know what happened to them that time?" ”

"When they went in that time, they may not have encountered anything good, and they suffered heavy casualties!" Fong answered, based on what had happened to us.

"The throat of the earth was originally a place where the devil lived, as for their result, I expected, the people of the Zhao family were originally the strongest part of the four major families, but unfortunately there was no successor, and it gradually declined!"

"A few days ago, there was a group of people who came in by water, do you know which way?" Fong asked.

"You're asking about the group of people posing as the geology team, right? Hmph, if they hadn't shown me the letter of introduction, I wouldn't have shown them the way, otherwise with their equipment, it would have been impossible to enter the sinkhole. The old man said angrily, "Later, when I hung up the phone in the village, I learned that the recommendation letter from my superior was fake, and I knew that I had been fooled." ”

"Do you know what this group of people are doing in there?" I asked.

"Do you know why this place was called Taoist Village before?" The old man asked us what he didn't ask.

We shook our heads, unaware.

"This place is a blessed land, as early as the beginning of the birth of Taoism, a very large Taoist temple was built here, it is said that there are many Taoist priests in this Taoist temple can find the method of cultivating immortality, this Taoist temple is famous all over the world, for a long time, there are tens of thousands of Taoist priests and laymen who have come here to practice and escape the world, with more and more monks here, there are more and more people who practice here, and the incense continues endlessly, I am afraid that there are more than a thousand years." The old patriarch said.

Ah Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Taoism and Taoism are fundamentally different, but the two are inseparable. Taoism existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the initial formation stage of Taoism should be at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, about 200 AD. ”

Later, I don't know which dynasty I went to, the emperor of the dynasty felt that since the feng shui of this place was so good, it should be canonized as a holy place, and only the royal family was allowed to practice here, so he sent troops to forcibly destroy the Taoist temple and drive away all the Taoist priests. It turned out that in order to continue to keep this blessed land, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple returned to the common people and stayed around the Taoist temple to reclaim the barren mountains to form a family, and over time, this became a Taoist village. ”

"Yo, you are so obsessed with this landscape, can you really cultivate immortality in this place?" Jeonko asked.

The old patriarch asked rhetorically, "Aren't you here for immortality?" ”

We shook our heads, and I replied, "We really came to find another group of missing people, and we don't know all of what you said, what the four major families, what Taoist priests, and what immortality we don't know. However, we did find a lot of remains of seated Taoist priests under this cave, which proves that what you say is true. ”

"Then why did this place later change its name to Fanjia Village?" Fong asked.

"Girl, this is going to start after the fall of the dynasty. During the years of warlord warfare, a warlord surnamed Fan came here, and he brought a private army to occupy the village. In that chaotic era, the private armed forces of the warlord Fan Da can be stationed here to protect the peace of this side of the landscape, in order to thank the general Fan for his good deeds, this village and town was also renamed Fanjia Town, and then after a few years, with the disappearance of the warlords, the number of households here has gradually decreased, and it was renamed Fanjia Village. ”

"So, are you also from the Fan clan?" Aichen asked.

"I'm not!" The old patriarch said, "I have nothing to do with the Fan family. ”

"But isn't Fan Qunping your apprentice?" I asked tentatively.

"You may not believe it, but I am actually his apprentice!" The old patriarch said.

"Ahh Several of us were taken aback, this old patriarch seemed to be Fan Qunping's grandfather, how could he be Fan Qunping's apprentice.

"So you should know what the secret of this cave is!" The old patriarch lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "The things in this cave can make people's years stagnate, and can make people immortal!" I don't know how much older Fan Qunping is, but he looks like my grandson is now. ”

"This, how is this possible?" Quan Zi said in disbelief, "In that case, why don't you go in and cultivate this art of immortality?" ”

"Young man, don't you know, not everyone is blessed with that thing, it depends on the good fortune and the creation!" The old patriarch muttered, "Besides, birth, old age, sickness and death are the natural norm, and immortality may not be really that good!" ”

"Is it that women can't enter that hole, so you were so excited to see me and Sister Afang just now?" Aichen asked.

"The water temperature of Hantan is very bearable, and ordinary strong men can't bear it, not to mention that you are still two female dolls!" The old patriarch suddenly changed the topic and asked, "You are all members of the Chen family, the Chen family is really a good fortune, every generation of the Chen family has been excellent since ancient times, I know, you are the people of the Chen family." ”

He pointed to the bamboo forest at the door and suddenly said, "You see, everything has its own laws, everything has to live, everything has to die, if one day this rule is broken, it will not work, it will not work!" My master told me that the Tao is natural, and what is nature, nature is to follow the law of all things......"

A few of us looked at each other, why did this old patriarch suddenly start to be confused in the east and west.

"Fan Wazi has done a lot of things with me before, and I am his right-hand man. He was actually very lonely, very pitiful, and everyone around him died. Ah...... He didn't dare to hate or love, he wanted to die but couldn't, alas, how pitiful, you see how pitiful he is! The old patriarch suddenly began to tremble violently, and white foam began to spit out from his mouth.

Ah Fang hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and shouted at us, "Quick, quick, break his mouth and stuff this towel in." ”

Quanzi and I did it immediately.

"He's an epileptic offender, he must have been too excited just now!" Ah Fang said.

At this time, the two sons of the old patriarch heard us outside, and hurried into the house and hurriedly carried him out, while shouting, "The old man is sick again, go and get the medicine, get the medicine!" ”

A few of us sat in the room, thinking about everything the old man had said.

I combed through the thousands of thoughts in my heart, and all the crux centers revolve around the Wansheng Stone, what is it? Is it really a stone, a strange stone that can bring immortality to humans? I don't believe it, and I'm sure none of us will.

In addition, there are several forces around Wansheng Stone: the Chen family, the Zhao family, the Fan family, and the Wang family! Yes, it's pretty certain that several of us belong to the Chen family.

Since a few of us joined the search team, everything we had before had been cleaned up, and we had to cut off all contact with the outside world. A few of us have become completely isolated people and become the personal armies of the Chen family.

What kind of person is Chen Xiangrong, the leader of the Chen family, that is, our Commander Chen, and what mysterious other forces exist behind him? What role does the fifth play among us?

In such a remote village, this old patriarch actually knows so many things, how many of his words are true and how many are false? If true, where did he learn about it, and what is his identity? If it is false, why do so many clues overlap so much with our personal experience?

The car that took us back to the base had already arrived at the entrance of the village, and the four of us looked at each other and decided to hide everything we heard and everyone we met from our superiors and the organization.

Because, we want to be in control of our own destiny.
