At that moment, I found that the big shopkeeper seemed to have suddenly become much older. His skinny body became more and more stooped, and his breathing was very heavy, as if he was overwhelmed by the human heart of this world. After that,

After those words, he fell silent.

Mrs. Hu came in and took away the tea cup that was sprayed with saliva by Mrs. Bai.

Not long after, I heard a cracking sound coming from the yard. Mrs. Hu seemed to have thrown the tea cup away and smashed it into pieces.

This crisp sound seemed to suddenly bring back the soul of the big shopkeeper. His eyes that had lost focus suddenly became clear. He turned his head to look at me and suddenly asked: "Do you blame me for making arbitrary decisions? They are not good at all.

It was because I was worried that I would have some plans in tandem with you, but I followed the topic and asked you to accompany us to our ancestral land to figure out the problems with us..."

I shook my head silently.

"You and Chun Sheng...are so similar!"

The big shopkeeper said this without warning, and he was a little stunned: "Actually, you are also a person who is afraid of favors, right? If I force you, you will definitely not give in, but you are afraid that I will speak..."

He shook his head and smiled, and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we go to the ancestral land to confirm or not. I can basically conclude that our problem does stem from Shengwu Tianguan. As a descendant of Shengwu, you definitely have the ability to master Shengwu."

The ability to deploy weapons.

Letting you go to the ancestral land does not really want to solve our problems. The old man has lived to this age and is actually not afraid anymore. Especially after Chunsheng has gone, the old man is not afraid anymore. If it were not for the burden on him, he would not be able to leave at this juncture.

No, what's the use of keeping this life?

But, just because I'm not afraid, doesn't mean they're not afraid!

Hey……

Even if they don't take the initiative to come to you, I will take you to see them. It's just that they don't know the past between the four of us, so they rashly brought this matter forward. They suddenly came to the door, which caught me a little off guard.

, but it doesn’t matter, when the matter has reached this point, it’s better to just do it in advance, so as to save you a long night and a lot of dreams!”

After a pause, the big shopkeeper continued: "About the ancestral land, I didn't lie just now. We really don't know much. There are some texts left there, but they are basically sacrificial texts. Except for the ritual officials, no one knows

I don’t recognize it, what we know is basically passed down orally by our ancestors who had dealings with Tianguan.

If you are not a wolf, you are a pig or a sheep.

This is a warning left by Shengwu.

In addition, the most common saying among our ancestors is - protect the Wei family and never break your oath. The day you break your oath, the four sects will perish!

We have heard this sentence since we were young, but to this day, what everyone remembers is no longer the oath between us and the Wei family, but...when we break the oath, it will be the day when the four sects will perish.

!

This puts them on pins and needles...

Hey, as for that ancestral land, it’s not our ancestral land at all, it’s the dojo of Shengwu Tianguan!!”

"Shengwu Dojo? Darling, that must have been left there a long time ago!"

Lao Bai sniffed and said: "And this oath, why does it sound so evil? It doesn't look like an oath made by equal parties at all. It is almost a unilateral overlord clause. How can there be such a covenant?

…”

The big shopkeeper glanced at Lao Bai and said: "An oath is an oath, and reality is reality. Do you understand this truth?"

Lao Bai thought for a while, nodded, and said teasingly: "I understand, people are different now. How can people uncover the dark history? They have to hold their noses to identify it. How embarrassing this must be!"

"

The big shopkeeper's hand that grabbed my wrist suddenly tightened. He was obviously just an old man, but there was a terrifying force in his hand, which made me, a thick-skinned martial artist, squeeze my wrist so hard that it hurt.

Then I saw a few blue veins suddenly protruding on his forehead, which looked like blood vessels, but there was obvious black energy surging in the blood vessels.

This scene was strange, making him look indescribably permeable.

"Big shopkeeper, you..."

I was shocked, thinking that the big shopkeeper would lose control again when he got excited.

My master made it very clear that when his mood fluctuates violently, the situation is likely to become extremely bad.

"It doesn't matter!"

The big shopkeeper shook his head, stared at me, and said seriously: "You can trust me!"

I did not hesitate and said with a smile: "If I didn't trust you, I would never go to my ancestral land with you. I might pack up my things and run away tonight, and then I would huddle beside my master for the rest of my life.

Won’t come out.”

"You can trust me!!"

The big shopkeeper emphasized his tone, almost gritting his teeth and said: "If you trust me and go to the ancestral land tomorrow, do as I say.

I don’t know what kind of records were left in the writings of that place, and whether they can solve our problems!!

I don’t want to know this either!!

You heard me clearly, no matter what is recorded there, whether there is any record related to us, you must tell those three people this way.

Just say that Shengwu did leave a way, and you already know what to do, but... you can't do it now. You have to wait until the day when you become a heavenly official, and you will resolve the disaster for them and help them.

Here, you can make the strongest oath!!

Remember, today is different from the past. No matter what kind of oaths were made in the past, today, the ritual officer sect has declined, and the three sects of Huang, Bai, and Chang are at their peak. Times have changed, and the oaths made in the past cannot be taken seriously.

Well, this is the way people think in the world. Whether an oath is useful or not depends on whether your fist is strong enough!

Don't have any illusions, don't be greedy, greed will inevitably lead to bad things!

Do you remember clearly what I said?"

"I got it!"

"..."

The big shopkeeper loosened his grip on my hand, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of all strength. He gasped for air and waved his hand to me wordlessly.

"You should rest and don't bother yourself with this. I know the importance of things."

I whispered something, then greeted Lao Bai and left.

After returning to our room, Lao Bai sat down on the kang and sighed softly: "Brother is convinced by Qingzhu now. His judgment of people... is so accurate. This old man from the Hu family... treats you...

good!"

I nodded.

"By doing this, he completely separated himself from the other three sects. They are all his old friends from the past. It was not easy for him to make this choice!"

Lao Bai said: "To be honest, I didn't expect such a change to happen. However, don't be confused about this matter. The boss treats you well. I know you are a master who is not willing to let him suffer.

But there is no room for telling the truth in this matter. Telling the truth will kill people. Many, many people will die. You must follow what the big shopkeeper teaches you. In this way, in the short term, the three sects will never have any thoughts about you.

Now, if you wait until you reach the Heavenly Palace, are you still afraid of them?"

"Okay, how can I still not know the importance of this?"

I rolled my eyes at this guy.

Lao Bai laughed twice and muttered: "You still have too little contact with people in Xuanmen. In the past, you dealt with Hai Gang and so on. After all, they did not directly target you. If you really think about it, this is your first priority.

This is the first time I have truly seen Xuanmen. Aren't you afraid that you will suffer a loss?"

"..."

After chatting for a while, we both took a rest.

The next day, early in the morning, the Humen's courtyard became noisy, and it was the other three gates that came.

Seeing Aunt Chang, Mrs. Bai and others waiting in the yard, I looked at the sky where the sun had not yet appeared, thinking that these people were really impatient. Looking at this posture, I guess the three of them had not slept all night.

Bar?

Under the urging of these three "dangers", the shopkeeper and I were dragged into the car and headed straight to their ancestral homeland of Mohe before we could even take a bite of Mrs. Hu's breakfast.

And go.
