Chapter 791 Price
"Father, this is the image of the ancestor?"
When Yang Shu saw the statue of the ancestor of the Yang family, Yang Zheng, and his expression was shocked. Because he did not expect that the most powerful ancestor in his family's ancestors had the statue of his ancestors.
"Yes, this is the statue of the ancestor left by Yang Zheng, the real person of the family ancestor Huiling. He has been worshipping incense in the ancestral hall and can still be revealed."
Can it still appear?
Yang Shu continued to be surprised. Although he had a low cultivation level, he had a lot of knowledge and knew that if the ancestor statue appeared, it would mean that the family would be prosperous or the inheritance would be prosperous. In the sect, it was often taken out to invite guests to show off. In the royal family, it would be the same.
But why has it never happened in the royal family's various rituals of sacrifice?
As soon as Yang Shu felt doubt, he was suppressed by another suspicion. The father beside him took a knife from Yang Xiusheng's hand, then opened his upper body and clothes, revealing not only his thin body, but also a terrifying dark red "spider web" that almost covered his chest and back.
"Father! What's wrong with you?" Yang Shu's shock was beyond words. He had never known that there was such a terrifying meat web on his father, something like a spider web attached to it. When he looked closely, the thing was still trembling, as if it was alive.
Yang Jian smiled but did not answer. He took the knife and gently cut it on the "spider web". A stream of blood came out and fell into the stone basin in front of the ancestor statue.
After that, the wound healed rapidly, and then the stone basin seemed to react with the blood that was soaring in. The entire ancestor statue began to tremble. After a few breaths, the ancestor statue moved strangely, revealing a dark staircase below.
"This..." Yang Shu understood a little why the Ancestor's image has never been mentioned by the clan, and even princes like Yang Shu never knew about their existence. The reason should be to suppress this mysterious entrance to the secret passage?
After closing his clothes, Yang Jian took the lead in stepping into the secret walkway steps, and faint light lit up on both sides again illuminating the road below.
"Let's go, if you want to inherit the throne, this is something you must experience. Didn't you say you are fearless?"
Yang Shu really wanted to say that he was fearless now, but there was only one word "good" at the end of his mouth, and he swallowed everything else. Because a sense of inexplicable terror arose in his heart again, as if there was something amazing under the secret passage, he instinctively wanted to retreat.
The uneasiness in his heart became stronger as he entered the secret passage. It was not a long staircase. Yang Shu wanted to ask several times, but he swallowed it back because he didn't want to show his timidity in front of his father.
Soon the steps reached the end and a stone door appeared.
Yang Shu wanted to push it, but Yang Jian stopped it and said with a smile: "You can't push this door open now. If it goes well, you will always have a chance to push it open in the future."
Yang Shu didn't know how to answer this, so he could only retreat. Seeing the weak Yang Jian slowly pushed open the huge stone door, Yang Shu even felt that the door was opened by himself rather than being pushed open.
Is the most important secret of the royal family? What will it be?
Looking in, it was pitch black and there was a tide smell floating out. As Yang Jian stepped in, a faint light lit up inside the stone gate to make people see what was inside.
Yang Jian and Yang Xiusheng were not surprised at all, but Yang Shu came here for the first time, and after seeing the situation in the stone gate, the doubts in his heart reached its peak.
What is that? A... strange-shaped... chair?
"Chi" is a strange-shaped chair in Yang Shu's eyes. Of course, this is not wrong. At least the appearance of "Chi" in front of him is a chair.
"Shu'er, this is "Chi", and it is also the biggest secret of our royal family today, and it is also a deal for standing up." Yang Jian stood beside "Chi", reached out and touched the back of the chair, and immediately shone brightly on the back of the chair as he spoke, and quickly gathered into a bright eye.
Yang Shu looked at the eye on the back of the chair, subconsciously took a step back, and then hurriedly stabilized. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that the eye was staring at him, as if he was looking... a delicious meal? In an instant, he understood where the anxiety he felt in his heart several times before came from, and it should be the eye in front of him.
"Father, my son doesn't understand." Yang Shu was instinctively alert. Even though he knew that he was his father in front of him, there was no unconditional trust in the royal family, so he naturally remained alert.
Yang Jian was very happy to see his son's vigilance, but he didn't think it was offensive. He laughed and said, "Do you think the Jingwu Dynasty could stand among the major sects and rely on the Golden Sword Guard alone? Not to mention that, no matter what, Wanjuanshushan or Mingshan Sect, is not the best force? Why are you willing to live in a corner and watch me as Jingwu dynasty hold the world? Do you really think that their sects do not want to enter the world?
Haha, secular worldly, this is simply a step that the sect found for itself in the early years.”
Yang Shu glanced at "Chi" and frowned and said, "Father, what do you mean is it to help us stabilize the world...a certain force?"
"You can understand it. But this help is not free, we have to pay."
"What's the price?" Yang Shu's heart trembled. It's conceivable how terrifying the power of the two super sects was. The price that needed to be used must also exceed his imagination. At this moment, he vaguely understood that the throne that seemed to have been placed in front of him should not be that simple. The "red" in front of him must be the "last level" that the father said.
Yang Jian pointed to his chest and said, "You saw it when you came in just now. What I had on me was the price."
"Those, red stuff? What is that?"
"That is "red", which will cling to every emperor who is in charge of the Jingji Dynasty and absorb the luck of the Jingji Dynasty to unify the world through some means we do not know. However, this process is very painful for the object it clings to, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is torture.
Have you ever wondered why every generation of emperor likes to stay in Fu'an Palace? The reason is that the warm soup in Fu'an Palace has miraculous effects and can relieve the pain caused by "red".
And you need the last level you need to sit on the throne is this chair. You sit on it, accept the clinging of "Red", and endure the pain of the day, and then you can become the direct object of the next transaction, and then you can carry the banner of the Jingji Dynasty. Until you are like me, you can find your descendants to take over."
"Repeat?"
"Repeat!"
Yang Shu's face was already ugly. The Jingji Dynasty had always had many unknown strange things in terms of force. The most direct thing was how to suppress the sects in the world? Now there is an answer.
