Chapter 786: The Emperor's Family
Tianshui Prefecture is just a remote small state in the northern region of the fairy realm, and there are at least tens of thousands of small states like this in the northern region.
Heitu City is also a small city under the jurisdiction of Tianshui Prefecture, and the economic lifeline of the city is in the hands of the top ten wealthy families.
The lord of the city is served by the ten wealthy families, one is the ninth deputy, and they take turns to sit in the village.
The emperor family is one of the top ten wealthy families, and the head of the family, Emperor Chaoyang, has suffered a major mental blow since the disappearance of his favorite grandson seventy years ago.
The whole person is more than ten years old, and the shrewdness and strength of the past have disappeared.
Not only did he not compete with the interests of the other nine families, but he also lost interest in the management of the family.
The whole person often went to the spatial crack where Di Fanchen disappeared in a daze, and one stop was a few days.
The cultivation of the peak of the True Immortal has not advanced an inch, and the other nine masters who originally cultivated the same have all broken through to the Great Perfection of the True Immortal, and the balance of the ten families has been broken.
If it weren't for the outstanding qualifications of several juniors of the imperial family and the suppression of the juniors of the other nine families, the imperial family would have been reduced to a second-rate force.
Even so, it is the bottom of the top ten families.
He had not been a lord of the city for decades, and some of his estates were gradually being devoured by other families.
The old man didn't care about these things, and the power of the family fell into the hands of a few outstanding sons, trying their best to maintain the glory of the emperor family that would be tilted in Great Xia.
In the past, the son of Emperor Yunshan, who was the most unpopular with the old man, had great luck, and the old man took out his savings and helped them set up a small shop in the city, selling some cultivation resources, and their lives improved.
Everyone guessed that it might be that after Di Fanchen disappeared, the old man felt ashamed of this son and made some compensation for him.
It was a very normal thing, but it was grabbed by a few brothers.
In the end, he alarmed Elder Taishang, punished Emperor Chaoyang, and delegated the power of foreign affairs in his hands to several brothers.
Of course, they are all uncles and brothers, and he is an only son.
If it weren't for the Supreme Elder to suppress it, there would be a momentum to depose him as the patriarch.
In the end, Diyunshan and his wife were kicked out of the emperor's house and moved into a small shop.
Leaving that big dye vat, it also fell quietly.
Only occasionally think of the missing son, and secretly weep.
Every time the old man went to the crack and passed by the small shop, he came in and sat down.
It took no more than a stick of incense from entering the door to leaving, but he didn't say a word.
Di Yunshan and his wife knew the pain in the old man's heart, and they didn't dare to persuade each other.
Diyun Mountain's wife is the old lady's maid, and the two have been bullied since they were children, and their personalities are cowardly.
The old man never waited to see them, and developed the habit of being afraid of the old man, and he didn't dare to speak when he saw the old man.
As soon as the old man saw the cowardice of the couple, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
On this day, the sun was setting, the store was deserted, and Diyun Mountain wanted to close early.
Because of Di Fanchen's seventieth birthday today, I want to make a bowl of noodles for the child and pray.
Suddenly, I saw the old father walk in from outside, and knew that he had just returned from the crack.
Welcomed the old man into the front hall and instructed the lady to serve tea.
As soon as the old man went to the door, he sat down, drank a cup of tea, got up and left.
This time, with a surprising wave of his hand, he signaled Diyun Mountain to close the door of the shop.
The two of them were a little confused, I don't know what instructions this old man has?
Frightened, he closed the door, came to the old man, and stood with his hands down.
The old man laid an enchantment and said in a low voice:
"Don't go anywhere these days, my grandson is coming back with his family. ”
There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the two, the old man is afraid that he is crazy, right?
Talking nonsense in broad daylight is quite scary.
A gleam flashed in the old man's cloudy and dull eyes, and he said coldly:
"Do you think I'm crazy?"
The two of them trembled, and then said in ecstasy:
"Father, is Chen'er really coming back?"
The old man nodded, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly:
"Do you really think my father has been decadent all these years? Hmph! If I hadn't deliberately snubbed you all these years, would you have survived until now?"
Diyun Mountain was shocked:
"Father, what the hell is going on?"
The old man sighed:
"Well, it's time for you to know. Now our family is facing a life-and-death crisis, and we must be a ghost when we die. ”
Then, Di Chaoyang told a story that shocked the two.
It turned out that when the eldest Taishang, who was Diyun Mountain's grandfather, was the head of the family, several brothers were not convinced.
But their cultivation is not as high as the big one, so they can only make some small moves below, disobey the orders of the patriarch, and hinder them everywhere, but they don't dare to go overboard.
Hundreds of years later, when Da Taishang was sorting out old things, he found a dilapidated classic book from the ancestral shrine, which was a peerless practice of refining the body, called Xuanhuang Battle Body.
He began to secretly comprehend it, and found that this work was incomplete, and the previous foundation building part was missing.
He wanted to complete the exercises by calculating.
The head of the family has a lot of trivial matters, and he can't calm down and cultivate, so he finds a reason to pass on the position of the head of the family to his son Emperor Chaoyang.
Several other brothers objected, and finally proposed a competition to determine the head of the family.
In the competition, Emperor Chaoyang won and injured several other uncles and brothers, so he formed a grudge.
The companions who assassinated Emperor Fanchen were the descendants of those who were injured by Emperor Chaoyang.
After so many years, the Great Taishang has not perfected the foundation of the Xuanhuang battle body.
Because the obsession is too strong, there are now signs of going crazy.
Once they lose the protection of the Great Taishang, the fate of their group can be imagined.
Since Di Fanchen's accident, Di Chaoyang knew that it was those families who were taking revenge, and it was impossible for Di Fanchen, who had shown an extraordinary vision when he was born, to grow up.
He took advantage of this to be disheartened, but in fact, he was obscure.
Secretly comprehending the ancestral Heavenly Machine Dao, after decades of cultivation, now has a small success, and naturally the Di Fanchen family is coming.
The time was just in time for this crisis, and the old man had to speak today.
The Diyun Shan couple wept with joy, and after a while, wiped their tears and asked:
"Father, what shall we do?"
The old man sighed:
"The second and third Taishang are all half-step Xuan Immortals, your grandfather is still here, and I can't shake your hand and take you away. What's more, your third brother's talent is very high, and he is not inferior to the other two juniors, and now that his cultivation has reached Mahayana, he is about to advance to the Void Immortal. This matter should not involve him, it is very tricky. ”
Diyun Mountain Road:
"Father, are you still unable to break through your cultivation?"
The old man smiled bitterly:
"Breakthrough? What breakthrough will I take? Since the transfer of power, the key to the family treasury is in their hands. The monthly salary is subtracted by half, and the rest is not enough to buy pills for your grandfather. ”
Diyun Mountain knelt down and blamed himself:
"It's all because the children are incompetent, they can't help their father, so they cause their father to hand over his power, and he doesn't even have advanced resources. ”
Emperor Chaoyang picked up his son and said:
"You, you always look at things at the surface. Your business is just a reason, even if they don't buy you a store, they have other reasons. The root cause is that they found out that your grandfather was abnormal, and it was just a test to do it before, but now I'm afraid they have to do it. ”
At this moment, in a secret room in the imperial mansion, there are four old men.
One of them:
"Second brother, do you really want to do that? That's our own big brother. ”
The old man sitting at the head had a gloomy face and said in a low voice:
"Foolish! Do you treat him as your own brother, and does he treat you as your own brother? Don't forget, the position of the head of the family should be occupied by the capable. It's good that he actually started a hereditary line. It's just that we can't compete with him, his waste son, seventy years, has not made any progress in cultivation, why does he still occupy the position of the head of the family?"
The old man next to the top said:
"In terms of qualifications, my son's qualifications are no worse than that kid. During the competition, he actually made a ruthless move and abolished my son's cultivation, and this revenge cannot be avenged!"
An old man next to him said:
"That is, he actually crippled my son, because he was afraid that my son would surpass him in the future. This son has a vicious heart, and it is a big trouble to keep it. ”
The old man who spoke first spoke:
"I said the second brother and the third brother, we were all present at the time, and the rights and wrongs were very clear, this reversal of black and white is not very good, right?"
The old man at the head looked at the old man with sharp eyes and said:
"Why Xiao Wu, you can't bear to do it, you don't have your share to get the benefits!"
Lao Wu stood up and said:
"I don't dare to take such a benefit, and one day I will have to meet my ancestors. ”
After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
The third and fourth were about to get up, and the second waved his hand and said lightly:
"Let him go! The fifth child is cowardly, and he doesn't want to offend anyone, so let him go. ”
The fourth child said dissatisfiedly:
"This fifth child's temperament is what you have been used to since childhood, aren't you afraid that he will tell the truth?"
The second laughed:
"Informant? Hehe, now the boss is a fish on the chopping board, what if you know? Do you have the ability to resist? Oh yes, that kid from Di Yunfeng has come to me and wants to break with the family. This kid's talent is not low, don't treat him badly, it will be of great use in the future. ”
After several months of flying, it has entered Tianyun Prefecture, Chu Yunfeng said:
"Old man, I think so, I'll take my son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters-in-law to wait for you in the Lincheng of Black Earth City, you go to investigate it yourself, and then make a plan after the matter is clear. ”
Di Fanchen thought about it, since they dared to do a black hand to themselves at the beginning, they were not afraid of their grandfather and grandfather being held accountable.
After many years, I don't know how far it has evolved.
The highest cultivation of his own line of people is Beigong Piaoxue and Dongfang Jade, after fusing the memory of eternity, his strength has increased rapidly, and he has just been promoted to Void Immortal not long ago.
His family of four, relying on the immortal resources provided by Furong Valley, has improved his cultivation very quickly, and the thunder tribulation has not yet been completed.
Such strength recklessly collides, and once there is danger, I don't know how to die.
Everyone came to the Immortal Stone City adjacent to Black Earth City and found an inn to live in.
After everything was settled, Di Fanchen left Immortal Stone City and rushed towards Black Earth City.
An hour later, he came to the Black Earth City, paid the entrance fee, and stepped into the city.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of me, I sighed in my heart that after sixty-five years, I finally returned to this place of birth.
Look for vague memories and walk down the street.
Eyes look around, looking for childhood memories.
He walked slowly, slowly, and a teenage boy ran behind him, came to his side and asked:
"Senior, you're an outsider, right?"
Di Fanchen's heart was sour, he nodded, and the boy said:
"I was born and raised in this city, and I am very familiar with this place, so my predecessors can find me as a guide to ensure that you are satisfied. It's not expensive, it's only a fairy stone a day, you can't buy anything from a fairy stone, but you can buy a piece of enthusiasm from me, buy a satisfaction, buy it..."
Di Fanchen waved his hand, and a fairy stone appeared in his hand, and asked:
"Tell me about the city. ”
The boy reached out and took the fairy stone, glared and said:
"Senior, if you want to know about the situation in Black Earth City, you can't do it here. ”
Di Fanchen was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Where's that?"
The boy said:
"Go to the fairy teahouse, taste the tea, listen to the story, that's called enjoyment!"
Di Fanchen had a bad feeling that he was afraid that he had been fooled.
