Chapter 141: No One Can Go Back
Seeing Hong Zheng go up the second floor to get things, Hong Meng was curious and thought that he would carefully check what secrets were there in the future. However, the old man who guarded the palace on the second floor made Hong Meng hesitate a little.
"The old man who guarded the palace only appeared once. When I checked it up close again, I couldn't find the figure of him. This is a strange thing!"
He was very confused. Hong Meng didn't know which drama the old man guarding the palace was acting. Could it be for some people to watch? There was no need, so who could he do it for?
At this time, Hong Meng suddenly thought of two people, Qingzhao and Luo Bin. These two are very powerful and can hide from Hong Zheng's eyes and ears and ears and ears and ears and ears and ears and ears, and successfully enter the second floor. Perhaps, the old man who protected the palace wanted to tell those two people that the Honghuang Palace is not a place you can come!
Soon, Hong Zheng was holding another picture and drawing it down. He patted the dust on it and slowly opened it. Everyone stretched their heads and looked at it. There were six people drinking and talking in the bamboo forest on the painting.
The bamboo forest is hidden and the hut is short, but the six people look extremely happy, enjoying the quiet environment and the fun of leisure and naturalness.
"Class leader, who is there here?"
After carefully looking at these people, Hong Meng found that he did not know anyone, but the painting looked like it was painted many years ago, so it was not uncommon for him not to know these people.
"The five on the left are your five grandfathers, and the one on the far right is their best friend. I don't know their name, probably their surname is Gongsun."
He pointed his right hand at the people above, and Hong Zheng patiently explained. He knew Hong Meng's miserable childhood, and the fifth ancestor disappeared at that time. And their family was also exiled to Hongjia Town. This made Hong Zheng feel a little uncomfortable when he faced Hong Meng.
"It turns out they are five grandpas, I'm so ashamed."
Hearing these words, Hong Meng's face turned red. He looked extremely embarrassed and didn't even recognize his grandfather. It's a pity that the incident happened suddenly. Hong Meng was not born yet, and the Fifth Ancestor suffered a tragic change and disappeared from the world.
"It's not your fault. I'm sorry for my father when I was at that time. I really shouldn't let you live in that barren Hongjia Town."
Hong Zheng quickly shook his head and comforted Hong Meng. To be honest, he felt guilty, but he was extremely regretful at this time. How could his vision at that time be so short and unable to tolerate them?
"Look at this sixth person, his face is similar to that of the old man with white hair, so I suspect that the old man with white hair may be Mr. Gongsun."
Several people approached and carefully observed the sixth person's appearance and characteristics. After Hong Zheng said this, it looked very similar. Hong Tong scratched his scalp and smiled silly: "I was too playful at that time and I don't remember this person. I wonder if the patriarch had ever contacted him?"
"Well. I just said a few times. I didn't have a deep impression. He didn't seem to be a local. He happened to be in the same sympathy as the ancestor, or it could be said that he was sympathetic to each other."
Hong Zheng's eyes became deep and unfathomable. It seemed that he was recalling the past. He was not conspicuous in the clan at that time, but the great elder was very famous. At this time, he no longer believed that the great elder had truly changed.
"Does the Great Elder know this person too?" Hong Meng also thought of this question, so he raised it.
"In my opinion, he must know the identity of the old man. Unfortunately, he is afraid that the old man will help me and make him isolated in the clan, so he has no clarity." Hong Zheng sighed, very angry at the actions of the elder, and repeatedly thought of his peers and let him go again and again.
"Since that's the case, we'll treat him well. Maybe when will he wake up and help us. Now it's a tense situation, so we must be prepared."
After looking at the picture again, Hong Tong made such a judgment. Yes, if there was a white-haired old man helping, he would definitely be a big assistant to the Hong family, and he might even be able to defeat the Qing family. It depends on when God will wake him up...
"Uh-Class leader, I want to ask, what is the mystery of the second floor of the Honghuang Palace? Why are many things always related to the second floor?"
After understanding the matter of the old man with white hair, Hong Meng began to ask about the matter on the second floor. It was a knot in his heart. If it was not resolved, he would feel uneasy.
"Oh? Why are you interested in there?" Hong Zheng's eyes became deeper, and he stared at Hong Meng tightly, as if he wanted to find out what Hong Meng thought, "You have just broken through to the early stage of Xuan Qi, and the road to retreat is very long. But if you know the secret here now, it may be unfavorable to you."
"What's there, others don't know." Hong Meng was extremely dissatisfied with Hong Zheng's answer.
"It's true - if you can break through to the Taixu Realm, I will tell you." Hong Zheng wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to refuse, but Hong Meng had just made great contributions and it was not easy to disobey his wishes.
"Then I tell me the secret of the Dark Sea Chart, and I also want to know what is eye-catching about this ancient picture scroll."
Hong Zheng's attitude is very unpleasant. Hong Zheng always attributes the secret that Hong Meng wants to know to the issue of "strength".
"Okay, the Dark Sea Chart has a lot to do with our Hong family. When Hong Jun went deep into Xuanyuan Hill and risked his life to get this magical scroll. It is said that it has the function of a confinement soul, and as for a more detailed description, I don't know."
After saying this, Hong Zheng was no longer willing to speak. He felt that he said too much, and the more people he knew, the more dangerous the Hong family would be.
After struggling in the Honghuang Palace for half an hour, Hong Meng felt very bored and had to say goodbye and leave.
Every night, Hong Meng spent two hours practicing. With the advantage of the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, he naturally practiced faster than others. Now he is in the early stage of mysterious energy, and he is constantly gathering more mysterious energy in preparation for breakthroughs.
The mysterious patterns in the Niwan Palace were as strange as ever, and sometimes he didn't know how they got them. Perhaps it was because of the influence of the chaotic energy in the lower dantian that he realized such a vague "Tao".
After several days of practice, I gained a lot every day. Not only did the true qi of the three exercises in the dantian become more and more prosperous, but the true qi of the exercises cultivated with mysterious energy is even better than before.
At noon on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, news suddenly came from Hong Yu that they wanted to leave immediately and asked Hong Zheng whether they had to add other conditions.
When Hong Zheng heard that they were leaving, he was even more anxious. If they left, who else could suppress the Qingluo family? And Hong Zheng could not pretend to be powerful.
"Abao's old injury relapses, and the situation may worsen and cannot be delayed." Hong Yu explained so.
"What? Didn't it recur once every half month? Why did it happen so quickly? Or should I cultivate here for a few days?" Hong Zheng dissuaded and wanted to keep them.
However, when Hong Zheng saw Hong Bao's painful appearance, he couldn't bear it. After all, Bao was still young, and it would be a pity if he became a disabled person.
What is even more unacceptable is that the effect of the Blood Spirit Pill is getting smaller and smaller, and it can usually restore the arms. Now it can only keep some muscles intact, and the internal flesh and blood gradually dry up.
"Oh, go all the way." After observation, Hong Zheng had no choice but to let him leave. He did not make any other requests.
"Just leave like this?" Looking at the group of six people leaving, Hong Meng felt a little reluctant. Although they were hateful, they were of the same clan after all, and there was no other malice except for the mission. Moreover, they could also use them to deal with the Qing family, and now all the plans were ruined.
"We can't stop some things. We just hope they are safe and sound." Hong Tong sighed. He knew the origin of these people, and even knew their family. However, Hong Tong was a little embarrassed to face too many people, not just because of the decisions of his ancestors...
"It's good to leave--"
A crazy voice came from behind everyone. Don’t think much about it. It was Mr. Gongsun, the old man with white hair. At this moment, he was also looking at the direction where the six people left, feeling sad.
"I can only rely on Mr. Gongsun, I hope Mr. Gongsun wakes up quickly."
The eyes were full of expectations, Hong Zheng murmured. Now that six young people have left, Mr. Hong also left at the beginning, and no one in the Hong family can deal with the crisis. All hope lies in this crazy Mr. Gongsun.
A group of people surrounded the old man with white hair, praying silently in their hearts, begging for the appearance of a miracle.
The elder looked at Hong Zheng and the others with confusion, as if he didn't know the identity of the white-haired old man. He coughed a few times and walked to Hong Zheng, "Can the patriarch know this person? Why do he treat him very well?"
Hong Zheng hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether to tell the truth. Judging from the appearance of the Great Elder, he seemed to be unaware of the old man's identity. He smiled and said, "It should be like this. Could it be that the Great Elder recognizes this person?"
"Uh--" The elder frowned, feeling resentful in his heart. Unexpectedly, Hong Zheng kicked the ball back again, "I don't know you, I just look at you."
Ignoring the Great Elder, Hong Zheng and the other two came directly to the back hall of the Honghuang Palace to discuss preparations for war again.
"Hong Tong, how can you do what you told you?" Hong Zheng looked serious. He didn't want to be negligent.
After looking at Hong Meng, Hong Tong then said excitedly: "Don't worry, A Meng's father's grave has been included in the scope of the ancestral tomb, and that desolate area has fallen into our hands. The purchase of too much food and other foods has directly led to the soaring price of goods, so the more you buy food weapons, the more expensive it is."
"Oh? This is not very good. If it attracts the attention of the city lord, it will be a big trouble. It is best to find a way to get some from other cities." Hong Zheng was worried, and he was a little worried.
"Okay, I'll send someone to other cities now." After Hong Tong said that, he immediately stood up to do his business.
"Among, there is another thing you need to do. Besides, this is not a difficult thing for you." Hong Zheng suddenly laughed.
"You might as well say it." Hong Meng raised his head.
"Since you are proficient in runes and have sold runes, even though you have earned gold coins by yourself, it is actually cheaper for others. You might as well create more runes for the children of the clan to use. On the one hand, it can be used as a welfare or even privilege in the clan, and on the other hand, it will also have an advantage in the duel."
While stroking his beard, the scheming eyes stared at Hong Meng, waiting for Hong Meng to answer. To be honest, Hong Zheng had been planning for a long time, but he couldn't find the opportunity. Now that he was in trouble, it was time to contribute to the tribe. He also took this opportunity to ask Hong Meng for some talisman treasures.
"Okay. I'll do more with the flying dragon in the sky, and I'll use it for them."
After two days of production, Hong Meng made a total of twenty green dragon look back patterns and ten cracks. The former can be given to some disciples below the Xuanqi realm, while the latter can only be given to disciples above the Xuanqi realm.
