Volume 3: Immortal Realm Chapter 234: Bad Things
After that, the news of a girl who was too beautiful to be in the convoy suddenly caused a small commotion among the men who were driving the car. And when they learned that this girl was actually the beggar mother-in-law who was picked up halfway down, they couldn't help but be stunned again, and the discussions and gossip that sparked were like a surging river, endless. When Si Chenglan learned that some people were chewing the root of their tongues, she scolded them, but the eldest lady's warning couldn't make those guys stop gossiping and imagining, and in the end, Si Chenglan didn't bother to pay attention to it.
From Baisha County to Chang'an, there is actually a distance of more than 1,000 miles, and when you stay on the road, where Ji Nihuang appears, it can always attract a lot of people's attention. Ji Nihuang smiled and dealt with it easily, while Si Chengmo scolded these guys from time to time, and then exchanged for more enthusiastic ridicule and gossip from everyone. All of this adds to the fun of the journey.
In the middle of the night, on Osmanthus Street in the west city of Chang'an, in a large mansion with a tall door and a majestic building, in the hall of the backyard, a man with white hair was talking to a man in his fifties.
The old man is Si Chengzhuo, the patriarch of the Sicheng clan, and the man is the head of the family, Si Chengwu, they are Si Chenglan's grandfather and father respectively.
The Sicheng family is a well-known family in Chang'an City, and their main industry is not only the Imperial Merchant Fleet, in fact, the annual operating income of the Imperial Merchant Fleet only accounts for one-tenth of the income of all industries. The industries operated by the Sicheng clan include rice, cloth, and water transportation. But such a large family has been in trouble lately, and the father and son are now discussing.
"The bones of the Holy Father of Yan can't be moved easily, and they can't be moved!" Si Cheng said angrily with his white beard shaking.
Yan Sheng Gong is Si Cheng Zhuo's grandfather Si Cheng Yan, he was a super martial artist of the ninth layer of the Open Heaven Realm during his lifetime, and the Si Cheng family also began to develop in Si Cheng Yan's generation, after four generations of efforts, the Si Cheng family finally has the current scale. Therefore, in the eyes of the children and grandchildren of the Sicheng family, Sicheng Yan is the most respected ancestor in the history of the family, so he has the name of the Holy Prince.
Si Chengwu's face was embarrassed, and he said softly: "Dad, I know that the bones of the Holy Father of Yan can't move, but ...... But we can't afford to provoke the emperor's oracle, and now it's their pacification envoy Tan Le who came forward in person, and you know that they are all devils. ”
"Devil, what about the devil, the devil can't be reasonable, isn't it, they are going to dig up people's ancestral graves, and they can do such a shady thing......?
"Oh, Dad, can you please stop being so loud!"
"I'm loud, I'm loud, there's no king's law. ”
The old man's straight eyebrows and glared at him roared, which made Si Chengwu panic.
After a long time, when the old man's anger calmed down, Sicheng Wucai sighed: "Dad, three days later, we must give Tan Le an explanation, or let my son carry this matter, and when the second uncle and sixth uncle ask about it, they will say that it is my son's proposition, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm not dead yet, why don't I have anything to do with it. In short, the bones of the Prophet cannot be moved, unless I die. The old man roared again.
Si Chengwu had a headache and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for a while, anyway, there are still three days to go, you can rest first, and I'll go back." ”
After coming out of his father's yard, Si Chengwu frowned, and his worries were seen in the color.
Si Chengyan was a super strong martial artist before his death, and in the human world, a martial artist who can reach the Open Heaven Realm can already be called a super strong martial artist, but there are very few martial artists who can reach the ninth layer of the Open Heaven Realm in the entire history of human martial artists. Since the Great Dao in the martial arts has been dispersed, the top of the martial arts is the ninth layer of the Open Heaven Realm. It is really an amazing thing that Si Chengyan can reach such a state. With such a terrifying cultivation, as long as the person is not too crazy or too eccentric, as long as you manage it with your heart, there will always be resources gathered around you, and it is only a matter of time before you become a powerful party. After all, this is a world of the jungle, and the size of force is the measure of a person's success.
After that, the Sicheng family, under the leadership of Sicheng Yan, soon became a powerful party in Chang'an City. However, people are not interested in the history of the Sicheng family, and they seem to be more interested in the cultivation of Sicheng Yan. For example, it is rumored that Si Chengyan stepped into the realm of the ninth layer of the Open Heaven Realm because of the blessing of the Demon Dragon Relic Bone. However, this is only a rumor, because the parties did not admit it, and no one came up with relevant evidence.
Speaking of the Demon Dragon Relic Bone, it is a magical thing left behind after the fall of the ancient Demon Dragon, and Ye Shubai's Demon Dragon Relic Bone was obtained by the Demon General from the bones of a dead warrior of the human race. It may be strange to say that Ye Shubai was caught by the sect master of the Demon Sect at the beginning, but he was helpless, because as soon as Ye Shubai died, the Demon Dragon Relic Bone disappeared. But why did these warriors leave the bones of the demon dragon relics in their bones after they died? In fact, this is because of the human emperor blue soul on Ye Shubai's body, in order to protect Ye Shubai, the human emperor blue soul made the demon dragon relic bone and his life fused together, one existed, and one was destroyed.
What is puzzling is that since Si Chengyan passed away fifty years ago, Si Chengyan's descendants have not inherited his martial arts genes, no one can reach the Open Heaven Realm, and the highest cultivation is Si Chengzhuo, which is only the fifth layer of the Pulp Washing Realm, and Si Chengwu is only the third layer of the Quenching Body Realm. As for the rest of the disciples, most of them failed to break through the realm, and they were not even considered martial artists. This is also why the Sicheng family spent a huge amount of money to hire some high-level martial artists into the mansion to protect the safety of the clansmen.
After Si Chengyan's death, in the past fifty years, no one dared to trouble Si Chengfu on the grounds of the Demon Dragon Relic Bone, but this time, the Imperial Oracle Division actually came to the door in a grand manner, saying that he would open Si Chengyan's coffin and take away the Demon Dragon Relic Bone. The reason is that the Demon Dragon Relic Bone is a forbidden thing.
The terrible of the Emperor's Decree, Si Chengwu knows, once he is targeted by this kind of devil, even the human emperor will be terrified, let alone a small family.
Over the years, Dad has gradually stepped down from the position of head of the family, Si Chengwu is already the de facto head of the Sicheng family, he is burdened with the safety of the clan, and he has to think about more things, compared to Daddy's stubbornness, he is under more pressure and is easier to be flexible.
The return of the caravan was a happy event, if in the past, Sicheng Wu would hold a grand celebration dinner to wash the dust for his son and daughter and the gang of men who drove the car. However, at this time, the atmosphere in the house was obviously a little depressing, and the celebration banquet was canceled. Si Cheng silently ordered the housekeeper to settle Ji Nihuang, and then went to the backyard with his sister to see his father.
Si Chenglan was straightforward, and the first thing she said when she saw her father was that she asked what was going on at home.
The mother next to her was sad, and just smiled: "Lan'er, it's actually nothing, it's just that your father thinks that our family's business is not very good this year, so he didn't put a celebration banquet for you, don't think about it." ”
"Mother, you lied to me!" Si Chenglan pursed her mouth and looked at her father with a puzzled look.
Si Chengmo asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
His mother glared at him: "Mo'er, it's all right......
"Su Zhen, don't say it, don't hide it. Si Chengwu interrupted her, turned to face her son and daughter, and sighed: "Our family is targeted by the Imperial Decree. ”
Si Chengmo and Si Chenglan were taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was going on?
When the father explained the ins and outs of the matter, the brother and sister were stunned for a while.
Although they have not been in contact with the Imperial Division, they have long heard of the notoriety of the Imperial Division, and now that the Sicheng clan is targeted by this devil, it is really a big trouble.
"Dad, is there really a Demon Dragon Relic Bone in the bones of the Holy Father?" asked Si Chengmo.
For this ancestor who is far away from him, Si Cheng Mo, like other Si Cheng clan disciples, only has the respect and worship of Gao Shan Yangzhi in his heart, and he is actually a little curious about whether there is a demon dragon relic bone on Gao Zu's body. It's just that every time he mentioned this issue before, he was angrily reprimanded by his father, which seemed to be a taboo not to mention. Today he can ask his father for an answer to this question.
When his brother raised this question, Si Chenglan also looked at his father eagerly.
Si Chengwu pondered for a moment and said, "Inside the remains of the Holy Father, there is indeed a Demon Dragon Relic Bone. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two brothers and sisters were not much surprised, but more just puzzled. Because they don't know what this thing is?
Si Chengwu saw their doubts, so he explained the origin and power of the Demon Dragon Relic Bone.
After listening to their father's story, the brother and sister were both excited and worried, excited that the ancestor actually had such a bullish treasure, and worried that such a bullish treasure was targeted by bad people.
Si Chenglan gritted her teeth and said: "Dad, the treasure of our ancestors, no matter what, it can't fall into the hands of villains, let's take turns guarding the cemetery of the Holy Father, day and night, and we must not let others steal it." ”
Si Cheng said silently: "That's right, isn't there a royal law in this world? The Demon Dragon Relic Bone is our family's thing, and it has been more than a hundred years, why do they say that it is a contraband, it is a contraband?"
"The question now is whether we have the final say, it is the Imperial Oracle who has the final say. Even our emperor has no problem with the imperial oracle. Si Chengwu said with some frustration.
"Dad, is there really no other way?" asked Si Chenglan.
Si Chengwu shook his head, his face ugly.
The mother looked at her husband and then at her children with a bitter face, and sighed: "Master, why don't we give them that thing, anyway, it's not a matter of life and death." ”
"Of course I know, it's actually a bane to keep this thing, because you can't guarantee that one day someone will be targeted. Sooner or later, it's a nuisance. Si Chengwu said in a deep voice, pausing, "But now the old man doesn't agree, and his attitude is resolute." I'm out of the way. ”
