"Why are there cracks on the ancestral tomb?" This question lingered Hong Meng with a confused look on his face. He looked at him for a long time, but had no way to explain it. After that, he had to ask Hong Tong for help. He knew that Uncle Tong must have known the major events in the clan, and even some secrets.

“Everything goes back.”

At the command of the elder, everyone followed behind, stepping on the snow. However, Hong Meng stood beside Hong Tong and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Tong, why is there a crack on the tomb of the ancestor? Could it be that there was an abnormality in the ancestral tomb?"

Hong Tong raised his eyebrows and looked at Hong Meng in surprise, but he did not hide it: "I remember when the Yin Han Jade appeared last time, everyone mistakenly thought it appeared in our Hong family's ancestral tomb. A few of us were guarding the ancestral tomb. When the treasure was born, the ancestral tomb also had a strange movement, but then we found that the treasure was not at all in the ancestral tomb. We arrived in the dark corner of Dayou Mountain, and you had already been eroded by the cold air and frozen."

"Oh. So that's it." Hong Meng nodded slightly, thinking that the cold jade in his arms was really not an ordinary person, which actually caused abnormal movements in the ancestral tomb. According to his speculation, the reason why the Hong family's ancestral tomb had abnormal movements was related to the secret of the ancestral tomb. But what was this secret?

As the sun sets, the originally melted snow began to slowly solidify and form ice. Walking on the ice-formed snow, the feet will inevitably slip, so they walked very slowly.

The sound of firecrackers ran all day. At this time, as if to welcome the grand festival, waiting for the arrival of New Year's Eve, it rumbling again. Even if the Hong family members far away outside the city heard the lively sound of firecrackers, they felt endless joy.

New Year and New Year’s Eve are two words that have existed since ancient times. No one knows its origin, nor does anyone study these. It’s just that some people who love ancient people spend their whole lives chasing the remains of ancient people, but they have not found any clues. This is a mystery, but where are the people who are busy setting off firecrackers to welcome the New Year?

A warm and joyful atmosphere filled Yuanguang City, infecting everyone in the city. But some people in the Hong family were excluded.

Independent in the study, his face of excitement and worrying at that time continued to change. Hong Zheng paced back and forth, thinking about the various problems of the Hong family. First, he had to face the frequent blows of the Qingluo family. When it came, it was time for the Chinese New Year, and it was time for them to come, which was even more shameless.

"Is grandfather's approach really wrong?"

He frowned and recalled the story of the Hong family ancestor in Yuanguang City. At that time, his grandfather brought a group of people to Yuanguang City to take refuge, but even this small Yuanguang City could not hide the figure of Hong Zheng's grandfather. Hong Zheng's grandfather was the ancestor mentioned by Xiaobei of the Hong family today.

This secret was buried by the Hong family for many years, and people were not allowed to discuss this matter. Over time, the younger generations in Yuanguang City did not know the origin of the Hong family and thought that the foundation of the Hong family was in Yuanguang City. The Hong family was extremely strong at that time, so with the order, how could those small families dare not obey?

Since the ancestors of the Hong family died unexpectedly, people from afar have come once, but they were beaten to death by Hong Zheng's fathers and were disappointed. They have never come to the Hong family for several years. However, after Hong Zheng's father and others disappeared, those people came here to show off their power. At this time, the Hong family was no longer able to face the challenge and lost all their faces again and again.

"The younger generations today are definitely unable to deal with the challenge. This year, my old face will be trampled by them again-"

A man was talking to himself, and Hong Zheng sighed in his heart that the current obstacles are difficult to overcome. However, New Year's Eve is the most important day, I hope my ancestors will bless you.

The joyful atmosphere in the city gradually emerged, and each household set off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the New Year. The bright red couplets have long been posted on the door, demonstrating the joy of the New Year...,

"The New Year's Eve dinner costs a lot! The tribe's economy is short, so it will be even more difficult. Damn the elder, I don't know how many gold coins I embezzled. If Lao Lin had not found the specific number at the auction, I wouldn't dare to verify with him."

After breathing a sigh of relief, he suppressed the anger in his heart and did not sigh. The New Year is coming, and he does not want to bring this year's misfortune to next year. He doesn't want to say much about the Grand Elder's private appropriation of property in the clan. Judging from the Grand Elder's obedient appearance now, I'm afraid he will not dare to do such things in the future. Besides, Lao Lin at the auction is here, so he would not dare to do anything too much.

"Dad, we're back."

Hong Zheng looked up suddenly and suddenly saw Hong Yifan and Hong Zhilan and the others coming back, and immediately showed joy, "It's good to come back. I haven't encountered any trouble outside? Have they made things difficult for you again?"

"Everything went well. I just stayed with Uncle Hong Yun for a while. Therefore, I came back late." Hong Yifan was worried about Hong Zheng's concern and told everything about it.

"It's angering to be a waste, and it's still delaying everyone for so long!" Hong Zhilan pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Hong Meng.

"Forget it. Don't worry about these things. Of course you should go there. Don't mention the word "trash" in the future. Do you understand?" Hong Zheng's face was slightly dark, he stared at Hong Zhilan's delicate face, and said in a scolding tone.

"Why? It's just because he was lucky enough to defeat Wang Hua in the black robe? He took a big advantage but assigned all his achievements to himself. It's so shameless!" Hong Zhilan was so arrogant and spoke out bluntly, making Hong Meng's "opportunistic tricks" sound reasonable and well-founded, which shocked Hong Zheng and the others.

"Stop talking! Don't talk about this anymore! You should not know some reasons. OK, Alan, go back and rest. Afan stays."

Hong Zheng was furious and raised his face and scolded him. He stared at his eyes, the corners of his mouth trembled, as if he had something to say, but he swallowed it in the end.

Hong Zhilan, who had always been spoiled, could not bear such grievances? For a moment, tears rush out, wiped her tears, and threw away the maid who followed her and ran away.

Seeing Alan leave, Hong Yifan, who was full of suspicion, glanced at the door, then turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what happened today seems to have a lot to do with Hong Meng? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to leave the city."

He always felt that Hong Meng had some secrets, but he didn't dare to mention them, so he had to discuss with his father. Next to the ancestral tomb, he wanted to ask Hong Meng, but when he saw Hong Meng's sad appearance, he didn't dare to speak.

Rotating his beard, Hong Zheng glanced at the open door, signaled Hong Yifan to close it, and then sat down, saying slowly: "That's right. However, the secrets on him are probably not something you and I can imagine. If he can take over the errand of General Wan Qiang and Wan, if he didn't come to that brush, he would definitely not dare to take on such adventures."

Close the door, Hong Yifan listened to Hong Zheng's words, nodded slightly, and felt a little thoughtful. After pondering for a moment, he made a bold guess: "According to my guess, he should be related to the last large auction, otherwise he would not have been with the rune inspector Qing'er. But we have no evidence. Perhaps, he can really portray runes, maybe!"

His eyes suddenly showed a gleam, and a few surprised expressions flashed in Hong Zheng's eyes, and then he looked at Hong Yifan in a bit incredible way: "Afan, your guess is unexpected. Why didn't I expect it! His actions, the 20,000 gold coins he suddenly took out, and the medicinal materials on him, can be explained that he made a lot of money using runes."

As soon as the conclusion came out, the two of them were shocked at the same time. That was not only a shock to Hong Meng's own secret, but also a shock to the rare rune. Just imagine, if a person with runes is diligently studying, he will definitely be able to make a career. Not to mention the improvement of his cultivation, just his rune attainments can naturally dominate the country...

The silence made the two of them fall into deep thought. After a while, they came to another amazing conclusion: Hong Meng is definitely the savior of the Hong family!

Although the evidence is insufficient, both of them believe that with Hong Meng's talent, how can we not block the Qingluo family's offensive in Yuanguang City? If we can get help from Fucheng, they can directly reject the so-called "backstage" without spending a lot of money to save the Hong family.

In the evening, all the senior leaders of the Hong family gathered together to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner. There were six banquets and invited the families of all the senior leaders of the clan. Needless to say, the eldest elder's family was all present. Hong Tong and his wife were naturally invited to the banquet. The second elder obviously had a little less joy, and only Hong Laoqian came here, which was considered a representative.

Hong Meng and Feng Shuang naturally came happily. Their status in the clan is hundreds of times better than before. If they don’t come at this time, when will they wait? Feng Shuang said lightly and did not apply makeup, and had long been used to this kind of life. When did others see her, they naturally didn’t blame her.

During the meal, all kinds of delicacies and seas were heard, and there was no need to mention them. Everyone had a smile on their faces and walked to the end of the year. Only Hong Laoqian was depressed, with a bitter face hanging down and sang a muffled wine.

Hong Meng was dealing with all kinds of words at this time. When he saw Hong Laoqian drinking there, he picked up a glass, walked slowly to him, and laughed and said, "Brother Qian doesn't have to be sad. I will leave the matter of the second elder to me. In the future, it is decided to get the elixir for the elder to recover his true body."

A hint of astonishment flashed in Hong Laoqian's eyes, and he looked flattered. He quickly stood up and responded, "Thank you, thank you. I'm really bothering you."

The two of them clinked a glass, and Hong Meng said some words of encouragement, which made Hong Laoqian cry. At this time, the patriarch Hong Zheng came quietly and said comforting words to Hong Laoqian: "Don't worry, A Qian, there will definitely be someone to deliver medicine to the door in a few days. Just wait patiently for a few days to get better."

"Um?"

Hong Meng and Hong Laoqian both showed suspicion, and they really couldn't believe if they heard it wrong. Where could this little Yuanguang City have any of the elixirs? But looking at Hong Zheng's drunken look, "As the saying goes" and "speaking the truth after drinking", it may not be a lie.
