Chapter 267
Dao Chen smiled and nodded to his seventh uncle, the two looked very affectionate on the surface, as if they were really a harmonious family, but in fact it was definitely not the case.
The seventh uncle in Dao Chen's mouth is his cousin, not a member of their branch, Dao Chen himself feels that this seventh uncle is not affectionate to him, and even sometimes, he feels a dangerous aura.
His seventh uncle has bad intentions, because his own son, named Dao Ran, is also the Tianjiao in the family, but the light on Dao Chen's body is too dazzling, so in the family, the first descendant that the elders think of is Dao Chen, and it is definitely not Dao Ran.
This time, Dao Chen was chosen as a sacrifice, and in the entire Taoist family, only his seventh uncle was very happy, and even he had imagined what the future would be.
After Dao Chen's death, his son will enter the field of vision of the family elders, and slowly one day he can replace Dao Chen and become the pillar of the Taoist family, and finally be elected as the head of the family.
With such a strong family, the rights of the head of the family can be imagined, which is equivalent to the status of a free and heavenly powerhouse on the Canglan Continent, and no one in the entire family dares to disobey him, otherwise it will be a great rebellion.
But now that Dao Chen is back, hearing the news, Dao Fenglin was stunned at first, but then he thought that his son's status was threatened.
But he couldn't change all this, if he knew in advance, even if he killed the killer, he would definitely intercept Dao Chen, but now it's too late.
Although he was laughing on the surface, he was cursing in his heart why Dao Chen did not die outside, but came back.
"Uncle Seven, let's go?"
Dao Fenglin laughed, took his nephew's hand, and said loudly:
"This is really God's eyes, my nephew is back, don't you know, since you left, Uncle Seven has been thinking about you every day, and now that you are safe and sound, Uncle Seven must thank the fairy gods in the sky. ”
Saying that, he actually squeezed out a few old tears, which made Shen Xingsoul, who didn't know why on the side, feel that this was really a good pair of uncles and nephews.
Dao Chen secretly sneered, hurriedly helped him wipe away his tears, and said softly:
"Uncle Seven, what are you doing here, old man? Didn't I come back well. ”
Dao Fenglin nodded while wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, who are these two?"
"Uncle Seven, they are my friends, and I invited them to my house as guests. ”
"Oh!"
Dao Fenglin looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Nephew, it's not that you don't know, my Taoist family has a big business, and it is inevitable that some young people have ulterior motives for my Taoist family, you have to be careful, and you have to be cautious in making friends!"
Although it seemed that these words were only said to Dao Chen, in fact, Shen Xingsoul and the others heard it clearly.
Dao Chen's face changed slightly, his seventh uncle was provoking the relationship between Shen Xing's soul and him, and sure enough, his seventh uncle was still an old man.
Dao Chen hurriedly spoke:
"Seventh Uncle can rest assured, these two are my lifelong friends, and they can be entrusted with life and death, how can they be the little ones in your mouth. ”
Shen Xingsoul pretended not to hear it, and let Dao Chen deal with it, after all, he was a guest, so he didn't have much to say, besides, this is a Taoist, if he really takes it seriously, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
Dao Chen's Seventh Uncle is definitely not a weak person, even if his cultivation is not as good as Wang Tianyun and the others, he can also be comparable to the first seat of a peak, Shen Xingsoul thinks that he is far from being defeated, I am afraid that he will be killed in one round.
Dao Fenglin didn't say much, just glanced at Shen Xingsoul and the others meaningfully, then turned around and walked forward.
"Nephew, when you come back this time, you must go to Uncle Seventh to sit more, and your younger brother who is not a member of the sect has always admired you, if you have the opportunity, you can point him out, and in the future, you can contribute to the development of my Taoism. ”
"Uncle Seventh is really joking, I'm afraid Dao Ran's cultivation is not under me, if it is a competition, I may not be his opponent, Uncle Seven is too modest. ”
Dao Chen is telling the truth, if he fights, he may not be Dao Ran's opponent, but in the battle of life and death, Dao Ran is far from enough.
The two walked inside while talking, if Dao Chen said that there were still people in the Taoist family who cared about, I am afraid it was his parents, at the beginning, his mother tried desperately to stop her, but in the end, there was really no way, and the family directly imprisoned her.
As for his father, Dao Fengjiang, he was always by Dao Chen's side, without speaking, without any expression, the only thing he could do was to wait for time to pass.
Or wait for time to stand still.
Dao Chen came back, and the entire Taoist family was in a sensation, and the head of the family ordered that a banquet had been set up to wash the dust for Dao Chen.
The contemporary head of the Taoist family is the eldest brother of Dao Fenglin, Dao Feng Zhi!
Taoism is divided into two veins, one is the head of the family, and there are seven people in this line, the head of the family is the eldest and there are six younger brothers.
The other vein is Dao Chen's father's vein, there are only three people, and Dao Chen's father is the youngest.
Although it is said that it is two veins, but in fact it is just for competition, the juniors of these two veins, no matter which vein they belong to, as long as they are good enough, will be selected as the head of the family, so that each head of the family is the best one among the peers.
Among today's generation, everyone is most optimistic about Dao Chen, but he does not belong to the lineage of contemporary family heads, and there is another person who is Dao Ran.
Before the banquet, Dao Fengzhi, the head of the Taoist family, picked up the wine glass, stood up and said:
"Today is the day of great joy for my Taoist, my clan has been blessed by God, and he has come back safely, this is definitely an unprecedented thing, God bless my Taoist, presumably the rise of my Taoist is not far away!"
Shen Xingsoul shook his head, and secretly said that it was Dao Chen who was protecting you, and he had to have something to do with the heavens.
Back at the Taoist house, Dao Chen did not explain in detail to everyone what happened, but only said that the formation was cracked by others, and he escaped with his life.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to say that it was Shen Xingsoul who broke the formation, which would not only bring * annoyance to Shen Xingsoul, but also affect his own plan.
Naturally, no one would associate Shen Xingsoul with the person who broke the formation, after all, Shen Xingsoul was still too young, and those formation masters were not old men who had white hair and spent most of their lives studying.
In this way, Shen Xing's soul was also idle, and he only said that he was injured, so he came to bother.
The banquet went very well, everyone pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, but one person was always staring at Dao Chen secretly, and his eyes were full of resentment and murderous intent.
This is a young man who looks a little similar to Dao Chen, holding a wine glass in his hand at this time, but he doesn't care at all that the wine inside has spilled, in his eyes, there is only Dao Chen's shadow.
He is Dao Ran, less than three months apart from Dao Chen, and he has been a genius since he was a child, and he was held in the palm of his parents' hands.
Until he knew Dao Chen's name, it was like a high mountain, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried, he could never surpass it.
He felt that his road ahead had been completely blocked, and he would never be able to see the scenery behind the mountain, so he could only silently walk the road left for him by the mountain.
Just when he was about to accept the arrangement of fate, there was a sudden turnaround, that is, Dao Chen was chosen as a sacrifice.
At that moment, he felt that the mountain had suddenly collapsed, and he seemed to have seen the road ahead and the dawn.
Just as he was immersed in these fantasies, suddenly the mountain returned.
Dao Ran is crazy, if he has never gotten it, it's fine, but if he loses it after getting it, I'm afraid the taste of this is enough to make a person burn.
Obviously saw hope, but was ruthlessly wiped out, Dao Ran now only felt that Dao Chen's face was the most annoying face in the world, and his voice was simply the most disgusting voice.
He wanted to kill Dao Chen with his own hands, to kill the person who had been standing in his way.
"You have always been the coquettish son of the family, no one cares about the existence of my Dao Ran, if you don't die, then I will never be noticed!"
These words Dao Ran kept repeating to himself in his heart, but he knew that it would definitely not be easy to kill Dao Chen, but now that he was injured, this was a great opportunity.
"As long as you die, I will blame those two outsiders, no matter what, the family elders will be on my side, and after these two people are executed, I will be the only suitable person for the position of head of the family!"
Thinking of this, Dao Ran smiled coldly, but assassinating the clansmen is also a big crime, he has to plan it well, and if necessary, he must use his father's strength.
The atmosphere of this banquet was very good, Dao Chen became the protagonist, and ended tonight's banquet in the sound of everyone's clinking glasses.
"Star Soul, come over here. ”
Shen Xingsoul's residence had already been arranged, and he was about to go back to rest at this time, when he was suddenly stopped by Dao Chen.
"This is not the place to talk, you two and I will come!"
After saying that, Dao Chen had already walked forward, and Shen Xingsoul and the two glanced at each other and followed.
This is Daochen's residence, a small courtyard, although not big, but the layout is very elegant.
"Alas!"
Dao Chen didn't speak, he sighed first, and then said:
"It seems that I didn't think it through, I shouldn't have brought you back, and now that I came back suddenly, I'm afraid it has affected the interests of some people, and I'm injured in my body, I'm afraid it's dangerous tonight." ”
"If something happens to me, and you two are foreigners, I'm afraid you will be executed as soon as possible, so I will hurt you. ”
Shen Xingsoul looked at Dao Chen, did not speak, and did not show any urgency.
He knew that since Dao Chen had brought them here, he would not be without countermeasures, otherwise it would not be possible.
However, He Wushuang was a little anxious, his eyes were blood-red, and he seemed to be ready to kill at any time.
Dao Chen saw that Shen Xing's soul did not have any change in expression, and knew that he might not be able to scare him.
Shen Xingsoul smiled and said:
"Okay, don't scare us, hurry up, what are the countermeasures!"
Dao Chen put away his previous nervous expression, laughed, and said:
"I can't scare you like this, it's really boring, I have really already thought of a countermeasure, and I need you to help me arrange a formation!"
