Xia Mingfeng looked at his cousin Xia Mingxin, who hadn't seen her for half a year and had grown taller again, and her appearance looked a little slim, looking at the little face full of grievances, and hurriedly stepped forward to her and asked, "What's wrong with Xin'er?"

"Brother Mingfeng, what you say doesn't count, you said before that you came to pick me up to go to the Mixed Yuan Sect to cultivate, and now it's been a year!

Ye Rou immediately hugged Xia Mingxin in her arms and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with Xin'er?"

"Woo aunt cousin he lied to me, he said that he would take me to the mixed yuan sect to cultivate, saying that he asked Xin'er to wait for half a year, but after waiting for a year, my cousin didn't come. Xia Mingfeng listened to his cousin complaining in front of his mother, looked at several senior brothers and sisters who were looking at him with a smile on the side, and couldn't help but think about how he had made so many bad friends.

"Feng'er, what Xin'er said is true?"

"Mother, it's true. ”

"If you don't take Xin'er with you, you should send a message to your family. ”

"No, mother, I'm here to take Xin'er when I come back this time, mainly because I had a task to go out a while ago, and I didn't take care of it when I was busy, I don't believe you asked Senior Brother Wang, isn't it, Senior Brother Wang." ”

Xia Mingfeng threw the topic to Wang Jue as he spoke, and at the same time glanced at him, Ye Rou and Xia Mingxin both turned their heads to look at Wang Jue behind him suspiciously, only to see that the smile on his face suddenly closed, became serious and serious, and after a meaningful glance at Xia Mingfeng, he coughed and said: "Aunt Xia is not wrong at all, we were really busy some time ago, and we have only been free in the last half a year, isn't this that as soon as the little junior brother thinks of Mingxin, he urges us to come over and take her to the Mixed Yuan Sect." ”

Ye Rou nodded after listening to Wang Jue's explanation, and said to Xia Mingxin in her arms, "Silly child, I'm here to pick you up, don't cry, when your cousin leaves, if you dare not take you, I will help you teach him a lesson." ”

"Eun, thank you, Auntie, I see. Xia Mingxin instantly became happy when she heard her little face, Ye Rou helped her wipe the tears on her face, looked at it and laughed again, like a little flower cat, making Ye Rou and the two senior sisters beside her laugh.

"Okay, Xin'er, it's good not to cry, it just so happens that your cousin will come back once, let's go to dinner together." Ye Rou was no longer pulling Wang Yueru and Li Qi at this time, but walked towards the hall with Xia Mingxin in her arms.

After a while, I saw the maids and servants carrying plates of delicacies one after another, walking into the living room, and instantly a room was full of laughter, and Xia Mingyuan was wearing a white dress at the doorway outside the courtyard and looked at the bright lights in the house, and laughter came out from time to time, the fist in his hand was clenched tightly, and then he hit the wall with a punch, and turned to leave.

Xia Mingyuan had just walked for a while, and the two maids came over from not far away, talking and laughing, and when they saw the white figure in front of them, they didn't know who it was.

"Who was that guy just now, what are you doing standing here? It's so strange. ”

"I don't know, hey, Xiaoyun, what do you think this is?"

The maid who spoke up finally found a fist-sized dent on the wall, Xiao Yun hurriedly looked there, her face changed slightly, "Xiao Cui, why don't we go and tell the master"

"Forget it, it may be that person happened to come over, this dent has already appeared, and it must be his own family who can walk freely in Xia Mansion. ”

"Probably"

"Alright, let's go. ”

Xiao Cui took Xiao Yun's hand and pulled her forward.

The night was a little dark, and the banquets in the hall were all dispersed, Xia Haihao didn't know when he would come back, only the father and son were still talking in the hall, and the others didn't know when they had left the hall, and they were taken back to the room to rest by the next person.

"Feng'er, what are you doing?" Xia Haihao saw that Xia Mingfeng waved his hand and actually laid down a magic array, his divine sense glanced at it and felt that it was a soundproof formation, and there was an ancient aura in the formation, his face was shocked and he hurriedly asked.

Xia Mingfeng thought for a moment, and then said with a serious face, "Father, I have something to tell you, but this matter is very important. ”

"What's the matter?" Xia Haihao looked at his heavy face and put away the smile on his face.

Xia Mingfeng told his father everything about the entire underworld and the experience of the past few days, and looked at his father's expression, with a serious but not too surprised look, which made him feel a burst of surprise in his heart, and looked at his father with a puzzled expression.

"Feng'er, it seems that there is something I need to tell you..."Xia Haihao sighed, which made Xia Mingfeng even more confused, and then heard his father say again: "You come with me." ”

Xia Haihao stood up, motioned for Xia Mingfeng to follow, walked out of the hall and came to the study, looked at the full bookshelves, picked one of the books in his hand, and dragged it outward slightly, the bookshelf fell into the wall by itself, and an underground entrance appeared.

"Father, this is?" Xia Mingfeng looked at his father in front of him and asked puzzled.

Xia Haihao was silent, still walking towards the passage, and at the same time beckoned to bring it underground, Xia Mingfeng hurriedly followed, about ten meters deep, a long corridor appeared in front of him, the fire in the brazier on the wall kept flickering, shining on the corridor, there were stone doors on both sides of the wall, and there were about 4 secret rooms on both sides.

Xia Mingfeng looked at the scene in front of him, a little surprised, because he never thought that his house would have such a hidden secret room, seeing that his father had continued to walk forward, he hurriedly followed, and when he walked to the middle of the road, his father reached out and pressed on the door of the secret room in the middle, and after a gentle push, the door of the secret room rose by itself, and another passage appeared in front of him.

As soon as he stepped into the second passage, the door of the secret room behind him suddenly fell, and he saw his father continuing to walk forward as if he had known it in the morning, so he put away the surprise in his heart and continued to walk forward silently.

The corridor is unusually long, and there are constantly pictures carved on the walls on both sides, and it is too dim to see what it is.

After walking for about ten minutes, there were two intersections in this secret passage, leading to the left and right sides, and he glanced at both sides curiously, and found that the fellow road on both sides behind him actually had a sense of danger in his heart, and he watched his father still keep moving forward, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and continued to follow.

About two minutes later, this secret passage seemed to come to an end, there was only a stone gate at the end, Xia Haihao stood outside the door, stood there respectfully and said, "The current patriarch Xia Haihao, see all the ancestors." ”

Xia Mingfeng listened to his father's voice, and had some doubts in his heart, isn't it just the three ancestors? Do you still need so many secret rooms? At this time, an old voice sounded in his ears, like thunder: "Come in." ”

Just three words, Xia Mingfeng trembled in his heart, and looked inside in astonishment, this is definitely not the voice of the three ancestors, and this person's strength is so strong, thinking so in his heart, he saw the stone gate in front of him suddenly rise, and his father signaled himself not to be stunned, and hurriedly followed his father in.

Xia Mingfeng walked into the house and found that this secret room was surprisingly large, comparable to the banquet room in the clan, and there were about ten people sitting in the secret room, some young, some old, and some middle-aged.

"Hai Hao, what's the matter, have you forgotten the rules?" an old man scolded Xia Haihao angrily, as if teaching his grandson.

Xia Haihao didn't care, but smiled, and said to the old man and the others, "Ancestors, of course Haihao will not forget the rules, but this matter is more urgent, so there are no rules." ”

"Oh, urgent, you can tell me. The other Ancestor looked at them with some curiosity and continued.

Xia Haihao nodded and looked at a few ancestors, and then looked at Xia Mingfeng and said, "Feng'er, don't hurry up and tell a few ancestors what you know." ”

Xia Mingfeng was a little shocked in his heart, his father called him an ancestor, and he was extremely respectful, when he heard his father calling himself, he came back to his senses, and he also learned from his father's appearance, and told the whole thing one by one.

"What! you mean Emperor Xudu!" A middle-aged man stood up, looking a little excited, and hurriedly said to Xia Mingfeng.

After Xia Mingfeng bent down, he nodded to the middle-aged man and said, "Yes, Emperor Xudu, there is also the matter of the underworld." ”

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Emperor Xudu and others would disappear like this in ancient times" An older ancestor muttered to himself, making Xia Mingfeng stunned and became a little strange in his heart.

The ten ancestors seemed to see Xia Mingfeng's doubts, and then looked at Xia Haihao and said, "Didn't you tell him?"

"Ancestor, Hai Hao always follows the rules of my Xia family, and such a confidential matter still needs the approval of several ancestors, so he failed to inform He Feng'er. ”

"Yes, you're doing a great job. ”

"Then let us tell him directly. ”

"yes, okay. ”

"However, according to the rules, let's take an oath first. ”

"Hai Hao, you teach him how to swear. ”

Xia Mingfeng listened to the words of several ancestors, becoming more and more confused, his father Xia Haihao said a few words directly in his ear, slightly stunned, looked at his father and said with some uncertainty, "I, Xia Mingfeng, what I have seen and heard today, will never mention any news to outsiders, even if it is my relatives and friends, unless I get the approval of the ancestor and others, if you violate the oath, the soul will be destroyed, and the heavenly way will be verified." ”

After saying that, I saw a spiritual light suddenly fly out of the top of my head, which dissipated directly in the wind, and suddenly there was a strange feeling in my heart, as if this oath was really useful.

Xia Mingfeng suddenly remembered something, hurriedly sank into his mind, observed that Xiao Wang Ba was still sleeping in the internal space, instantly settled down, and turned off the connection in his mind using a special method.
