Zhaojiagou.

The ancestral mansion.

The peach blossoms are still blooming, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in the courtyard, and pink petals sprinkle all over the courtyard in the wind.

Under the tree.

Zhao Laozu lay on a rocking chair, sitting on the side, and the two leisurely enjoyed the flowers, as if everything had returned to the appearance of their first acquaintance.

But if you look closely, you can find that Zhao Laozu's face is withered, his skin that was once blown and broken is now full of wrinkles, and his white hair has no luster anymore, as if he is forty or fifty years old out of thin air.

His figure was even more emaciated, and a robe that had originally fitted was now empty, as if wrapped in a skeleton.

He was old and very weak.

The injuries he sustained that night were so badly damaged that he has not been properly treated.

In addition, in order to get the news from his mouth, Yu Xian has been digging out his heart and lungs with him, which makes him even more injured.

A gentle breeze blows the still picture.

Yu Xian poured a glass of wine and brought it to Zhao Laozu's lips, his tone was a little ridiculous.

"Zhao Daoyou, it's a pity that I'm not proficient in soul searching techniques, otherwise you wouldn't have to suffer so many crimes."

The Taiyin Transformation Blood Demon Skill is a high-level Demon Skill, and naturally there are not only cultivation techniques, but also various secret methods attached to it, and even several Demon Dao magic weapon refining methods.

The art of soul searching is one of the secret methods.

But Yu Xian is kind to others on weekdays, and he is bent on eating and waiting for death.

Therefore, this soul-searching technique has not been practiced, and it may make people lose their souls if they are not careful, but even if this secret method is successful, it is very likely to turn people into idiots.

Moreover, the soul search technique cannot completely obtain the memories of the soul searcher, at most some memory fragments.

Zhao Laozu was already weak, and Yu Xian was afraid that he would kill him if he searched for the soul, so all the intelligence information was asked from Zhao Laozu's mouth.

If you ask questions, you will naturally use some punishment, and it is inevitable to dig out your heart and lungs.

So Zhao Laozu, who was already weak, became even weaker.

But Yu Xian's move was very measured, so that he could still hang his breath and not die.

Zhao Laozu glanced at Yu Xian, was silent, and did not drink.

Seeing this, Yu Xian sighed and said, "Zhao Daoyou, if you don't drink this toast, I can only give you a penalty drink."

Let me think about how many people are left on the Zhao family's side.

By the way, I heard that a big fat boy was just born in the second room, and he was only full moon, and he was chubby in vain, which was very cute. ”

Zhao Laozu's eyes were angry, his body trembled, and he seemed to want to stand up strongly, but he failed in the end.

A few bloodshots flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his voice was like a night owl, where was the calm confidence of the ancestor of the Zhao family in the past.

"Yu Xian, why should the hatred between you and the old man involve the blood of the old man's family, it is the old man who wants to kill you, and there is a debtor who is wronged, and you kill the old man!"

Zhao Laozu remembered the Zhao family bloodline that had died in front of him in batches these days, and the puppet that was fed to him by this person in front of him.

Endless remorse welled up in his heart.

He wanted to inherit the bloodline of the Zhao family, but he never thought that the bloodline of the Zhao family would be destroyed because of him.

The wine glass in Yu Xian's hand stepped forward an inch and touched the corner of Zhao Laozu's lips.

"Zhao Daoyou, the Zhao family enjoys your glory and is rich and noble, and now your sins, they will naturally have to pay for you.

Don't say this kind of thing, come, drink it, this is soul wine, it can heal you. ”

Zhao Laozu opened his mouth unwillingly and let Yu Xian feed the wine.

When the wine went down, it turned into a ball of warmth and dispersed all the bones of his limbs, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

But he knew that he couldn't bear it anymore.

It's just that the moment he let go, endless remorse surged in his heart - if he wasn't so stubborn, wouldn't the clansmen who died in front of him these days not have to die.

So what is his unyielding persistence?

"Yu Xian, you have already entered the Demon Dao, and the immortal cultivation realm of Shangyang City will not tolerate you in the future!"

At this moment, Old Ancestor Zhao only had a curse left to bring him a trace of comfort.

Yu Xian smiled indifferently and said:

"Zhao Daoyou, you don't have to worry about this."

"Let me think about where we start, well—let's start with the runes, this thing is so eye-catching."

Yu Xian's palm flipped over, and a golden talisman appeared in the palm of his hand, and a golden brick on it came to life.

It's just that compared to when Zhao Laozu took it out for the first time, the light of the bricks has dimmed a lot.

Zhao Laozu glanced at the Fu Bao, and his eyes showed remorse again, but he no longer hid it.

"This rune treasure is called the Heaven Turning Seal, and it is a ...... given by Danyang Zhenren"

Under Zhao Laozu's confession, Yu Xian quickly understood the origin of the rune treasure in his hand.

The so-called rune treasure is the Jindan real person dividing its own magic weapon heritage, burning on the blank high-level rune paper, according to the different magic weapon essence divided by the Jindan real person, so that the rune contains the power of the magic weapon.

For example, there is the power of three strikes in the Heaven Turning Seal Rune Treasure.

Zhao Laozu had already used up two chances, and only the last blow was left.

This method will weaken the power of the magic weapon, so only Jindan Zhenren who has reached the limit of longevity will be willing to do this kind of thing.

And the power of the rune treasure is comparable to that of Jindan real people, once it is sacrificed, there is almost no opponent in the foundation building realm.

The talisman treasure in Zhao Laozu's hand was his retirement bonus.

Before, Yu Xian asked him why he didn't sacrifice the rune treasure when the demon beasts attacked the city, which caused him to be seriously injured and his longevity was greatly reduced.

In fact, it was not that he didn't use it, but that he didn't have it at the time.

Danyang Zhenren was ordered by Shangzong to garrison Shangyang City for a hundred years, and now the hundred-year period is approaching, and Zhenren is about to return to Shangzong.

And he happened to be seriously injured, and even his hair turned white, so in this situation, he was willing to leave his family and follow the real person back to Xuanyang Sect to be a boy.

Not to mention that it was impossible for him to give up the Zhao family at all.

And Danyang Zhenren is a particular person, and he sees that his Qingfeng boy has been serving for many years and is serious in his work. Now he wants to return home to the old man, so he gave the talisman treasure to repay the love of the master and servant for many years.

Zhao Laozu knew that as soon as the real person left, as soon as the new Shangzong real person arrived, the situation in Shangyang City would undergo earth-shaking changes.

For example, Jiang Lin's two families, with profound heritage and strong strength, are the arrival of new real people, and they must rely on their power for many years to stabilize the underlying situation.

And a new family like the Zhao family, the strength of the family depends on one person, once he sits down, the family will inevitably withdraw from Shangyang City.

After all, this is how the Zhao family came to power back then.

In order for the Zhao family to have a perfect way out, Zhao Laozu not only began to secretly sell the Zhao family's property in Shangyang City, but also regarded the leisure in the clan land as a hidden danger.

If the Zhao family does not build a foundation, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the rest of the leisure will inevitably become bigger.

In addition, Zhaojiafang City is developing well, and the net profit every year is five or six thousand spirit stones.

This profit sounds like a lot, you can save fifty or sixty thousand in ten years, five or six hundred thousand spirit stones in a hundred years, and one Zhuji Dan is only ten thousand spirit stones.

However, this cannot be done in the accounts.

Because according to the agreement, five or six thousand spirit stones will first be distributed to Yu Xian.

Then the various expenses in the clan, the cultivation subsidies for the monks in the clan, and then the hands of each room, in fact, there is nothing left.

In the end, the Zhao family's various industries were calculated as a whole, and it was not bad that there were thousands of spirit stones that could be classified into the family's treasury every year.

This is still the Zhao family in recent years.

In the past, the Zhao family's treasury could have four or five hundred spirit stones deposited every year, which was already a fat year.

After all, there must be a clear distinction between public and private, and what goes into private pockets cannot be generalized.

In this case, the three or four thousand spirit stones that Yu Xian took away every year were particularly eye-catching, as if he alone was equivalent to the income of three or four Zhao families.

If he wins the rest of the leisure, not only will he not have to worry about plotting against the Zhao family in the future, but he will also be able to recover the profits.

After hearing this, Yu Xian couldn't help laughing.

"Zhao Daoyou, it was you who waved your hand that day and shared half of my profits, but now that the Fang market has developed, you think I have made a lot of money."

"But it's okay, now the entire Zhao family is mine."

Yu Xian drank a glass of wine and got up to leave.

"Zhao Daoyou, you have a good rest, I will come to see you from time to time."

Although Zhao Laozu said that his relationship with Danyang was clear, Yu Xian did not plan to gamble.

So it would be better to wait a few more years and let Zhao Laozu die naturally due to his injuries.

In addition, as a quasi-third-order array mage, Zhao Laozu still has a lot to learn.

Knowledge is wealth.

Now that the Zhao family's life is in his hands, he is not worried that Zhao Laozu will hide it from him.

After he left, the clouds rose and enveloped the entire courtyard, and a sturdy black tiger was lying high on the roof, like a sculpture guarding the four directions.
