Chapter 44: The Simon Family, the Immortal Ruins
Yangzhou.
At night, Yangzhou City, which had been noisy for a day, had quieted down.
It was quiet, and occasionally a few birds could be seen flying by.
At night, the moonlight swayed in the city, which brought a trace of mystery and beauty to this famous Lingcheng in the eastern region of Great Xia.
But in the eastern part of the city, in the mansion of the Simon family, it was still brightly lit, and it seemed that there had never been darkness.
At this time.
In an ancient hall deep in the Ximen family, there stood a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe.
This middle-aged man is extraordinary, majestic and undignified, and there is a majestic momentum that can only be formed by staying in the top position for a long time!
This person had appeared in Xia Wangcheng on the day of Qin Wuxian's accession to the throne, pointing out the country through the city tower, but he did not appear.
He is the contemporary head of the Simon family, Simon Song!
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, he can be regarded as a figure on the side of the famous town!
But at this time.
Ximen Song's face was extremely respectful, and he was bowing down to a pitch-black ancient coffin in the center of the main hall: "Seven Ancestors, the news of the 100,000 mountains has been confirmed, and it is a relic formed by the fall of an immortal!"
Click!
As soon as Ximen Song's words fell, a harsh voice suddenly came from the ancient coffin!
Immediately after, the coffin lid suddenly slipped out of thin air, and a thin old man with decayed skin and white hair sat up from the coffin!
"Immortal ruins?"
The old man didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, and his voice was slightly senile, but a pair of deep sunken dry eyes were staring at Simon Song with blazing eyes!
"Yes!"
Ximen Song's face was respectful, and he arched his hand slightly: "The second brother's side has been determined, and there is a probability of more than fifty percent, which is left by an immortal!"
"But for some reason, the news leaked out, and now all countries have sent people to investigate, only our Ximen family, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it down, so I'm here to disturb the Seven Ancestors and ask the Seven Ancestors to go out to help!"
"Did the news leak?" the old man frowned slightly.
"Yes!"
Ximen Song nodded and said: "Half a month ago, a small group of demons broke through the border of Great Xia and infiltrated Great Xia to cause chaos, although they were later suppressed by the six countries, but the Great Xia monarch Qin Wei fell into the hands of the strong men of Cangming and Aogu!"
"This matter has already spread throughout the six countries of Cangzhou, and even several major dynasties near Cangzhou have received news, so the 100,000 mountains have also been noticed, and our whereabouts have been exposed, so ......"
Hearing this, the old man nodded with a gloomy face.
The old business of the Simon family is to excavate ruins and find treasures, and everyone knows this.
Not only the Great Xia Dynasty, but also many dynasties around Great Xia have heard of it-
But wherever there are people from the Simon family, there are almost always treasures or relics born!
It's almost a convention!
In the past, if the ruins were discovered, most of the forces were afraid of the mysterious strength of the Ximen family and did not dare to compete with it.
There are only a few powerful forces that can compete with it, but they are also willing to sell the Simon family a face, either to pay some price to jointly excavate, or to directly cede to the Simon family.
And the Simon family is not mean, even if it is the ruins that they discovered first, if they are exposed, they will not eat alone, and they will basically share some benefits in exchange for the goodwill of the rest of the forces.
But what was discovered this time was the remains of immortals!
Outsiders know that the Simon family made a fortune from relics, but they don't know what relics they relied on and what benefits they got before they rose.
Only a few people know.
The reason why the Ximen family rose to prominence among many families and became one of the four great families of Great Xia.
It's because many years ago, the first relic excavated by the Simon family was an immortal ruin!
Back then, the Ximen family was just a third-rate small family, and accidentally discovered a relic of an immortal.
With the strength of the Ximen family at that time, there was naturally no way to hold the excavation, and after some consideration, the Ximen family chose to report the news to the Xia King at that time.
Who knew that the contemporary Xia Wang Nian took the initiative to repay the credit in the Ximen family, but he didn't choose to swallow it alone, and after getting the treasure, he gave one-third of it to the Ximen family!
And because of this one-third of the immortal relics and treasures, the Ximen family has soared to the sky since then!
In just a few hundred years, it has become a huge force comparable to the three major families of Great Xia at that time!
In the next thousand years, many strong people were born unconsciously, and their strength gradually grew, ranking first among the four great families!
All of this is thanks to that immortal ruin!
And that's only a third of the immortal ruins!
Although in the following years, the Simon family has always been mainly excavating ruins and looking for treasures, among which they have also found a lot of high-level ruins and treasures.
But the immortal ruins have never been encountered!
Even, in the entire history of the land of Shenzhou, the number of times the immortal relics were found to appear was extremely rare!
Every time it appears, it will cause many powerful forces to participate in the competition, and after a brutal competition and grabbing, only the forces that survive to the end can get a piece of the pie!
The preciousness of the immortal relics can be seen in general!
But now, after thousands of years, an immortal relic has been discovered again, and the news has been exposed!
The old man's face was gloomy like water!
He knew very well that the reason why the Great Xia Dynasty was able to excavate the immortal ruins alone and obtain all the treasures in it.
And the Ximen family was also stained with light, and a third of it was divided, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds.
It was because the news at that time was not leaked out, and Great Xia sent people to secretly excavate.
But now, this immortal relic of the 100,000 Mountains has been exposed.
I'm afraid that not only the Great Xia Dynasty, but also the other five major dynasties in Cangzhou, and even the dynasties outside Cangzhou that got the news will send people here!
When the time comes, it will be good for the Simon family to be able to get a tenth of it!
Even if you don't get anything, you can be kicked out directly!
After all, no matter how powerful the family is, it still can't compete with a country!
Even if the outside world says how mysterious and powerful the Simon family is, only they know the real situation!
There was silence for a moment with an ugly face.
The old man suddenly looked at Ximen Song and said, "Does anyone else know the news that the key to open the ruins is in our hands?"
"Not yet!"
Ximen Song shook his head, and said with a somewhat hesitant expression: "But according to the preliminary judgment, the key in our hand is not used to open the ruins!"
"This immortal relic seems to be much larger than the one found in Great Xia back then, and it doesn't need a key to open it!"
"This immortal relic was sealed at the bottom of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and now the seal is weakening, I'm afraid that in less than a month at most, the seal will disappear completely, and then the ruins will reappear in the sky!"
"And that key in our hands, I suspect, may have been used to unlock some treasure inside the ruins!"
Hearing this, the old man's face was even more ugly.
"Which forces are sending people now?" the old man looked at Ximen Songdao.
Ximen Song said: "The second brother sent back the news yesterday, so far, at least no less than five forces have sent people to investigate, including people from the Cangming Dynasty and the Agu Dynasty, and a few, I suspect that they are dynasties other than Cangzhou!"
"Even the Great Xia Imperial Court seems to have noticed it recently, and sent a powerhouse from the peak of the Transformation God Realm to Xiguan to station, and he has a close connection with the Demon Suppression City!"
The old man bowed slightly, and his face was calm.
Immediately, he looked at Ximen Song and said: "The news that the key is in our hands must not be leaked out, let people wait over there first, don't act rashly for the time being, wait and see what happens!"
"Now the situation is beyond our control, wait until later, how many forces are involved, and then we choose the side to cooperate, when the time comes, this key is our biggest bargaining chip!"
"Yes! Seven Ancestors!"
Ximen Song nodded, followed closely, his face was a little hesitant, and said, "There is one more thing......
"Now that the King of Xia has fallen, the crown prince Qin Wuxian has ascended the throne and become the new King of Xia, but this young King of Xia, His Majesty, is not only iron-blooded, but also scheming and scheming is not weaker than the previous Xia King Qin Ji, and his side is extremely mysterious!"
"Oh?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it!"
However!
As soon as the words fell, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly stood up from the coffin, and looked in a certain direction with his eyes sharp!
"Someone's barging in!"
......
