Lin Mo blinked, his eyes a little flustered. Then, he squinted away to avoid Lin Nian's gaze, and after hesitating for a long time, he said:
"To tell you the truth, my grandfather once held an important position in the underworld."
Sixty thousand years ago, Pluto Taizu had not yet ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the underworld, leading everyone to conquer the north and south. Among them, Lin Mo's grandfather Lin Kai was one of the most trusted ministers around the underworld, and knew many unknowns.
A well-known secret.
Later, after Pluto Taizu proclaimed himself emperor, in order to ensure that some secrets were not spread to outsiders, he sent people to assassinate the close ministers who had accompanied him to conquer the country.
At that time, Lin Kai had long expected this day, and many years ago, he had one of his sons exchange identities with the son of a servant when he was born, in order to prevent the Lin family from being wiped out in the future.
Bloodline.
He also sealed many secrets with spiritual power and hid them in the jade pendant he wore on his son when he was born.
Lin Kai's lucky son is Lin Mo's father Lin Fei.
It was not until thousands of years after the Lin family was exterminated that the grown-up Lin Fei discovered the mystery of the jade pendant. After Lin Fei unlocked the seal of the jade pendant, the image of Lin Kai's thoughts that he had left in the jade pendant appeared in front of Lin Fei.
Not long after telling Lin Fei the secret, Lin Kai's mental image also disappeared.
Among the several secrets Lin Kai told Lin Fei, one of the most important was the legend about the ancient city.
According to legend, this ancient city was a place like a fairyland, where there was no birth, old age, sickness, or death, nor hunger, cold, or poverty.
According to legend, the King of Hell came from the ancient city.
He came to the underworld on the order of his father, blocked the road from the underworld to the ancient city, established order in the underworld, and eliminated all records and legends about the ancient city, so that the ancient city would never be threatened by invasion.
Lin Kai told Lin Fei that there is a map that can be opened after entering the path of reincarnation, which can lead the ghost to the entrance to the ancient city.
Not long after King Yama unified the underworld, he tore the map into seven parts and put them into scrolls containing seven demons.
Among these seven scrolls, Lin Kai only knew that four of them were in the hands of the four patriarchs of the four major families at that time, and he did not know where the remaining three scrolls were.
After a long time, seeing that Lin Mo didn't say anything, Lin Nian assumed that Lin Mo had finished speaking and asked:
"So, you entered the world in this scroll just to collect map fragments leading to the entrance to the ancient city?"
"That's right!" Lin Mo nodded, "It's a pity that I have never been able to defeat Qiong Qi!"
After thinking for a while, Lin Nian said again:
"Hua Fan told me today that you entered this scroll more than five hundred years ago?"
"The more than five hundred years here are only sixteen or seventeen years in the world you and I live in."
"But your father discovered this secret tens of thousands of years ago. Haven't you and your son entered other scrolls in these tens of thousands of years?"
Lin Mo sighed and continued to recall the past. After Lin Mo's father Lin Fei learned about the secrets of the ancient city, he sneaked into the city of the underworld to look for the seven scrolls that were sealed by Yama with the power of Hades.
After asking around the city for hundreds of years, Lin Fei was not only unable to sneak into the four major families of Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, but he also found nothing about the other three scrolls.
However, one day, he unexpectedly saw the carriage of the second-generation Yama, who was still just the prince at that time, passing by, so he quietly followed behind.
Following until the evening, the second-generation Pluto's carriage suddenly stopped in front of a house. Then the second-generation Pluto got out of the car and walked directly into the house to chat with a civilian girl sitting in the yard. That night, the second-generation Pluto
On behalf of Pluto, he came to see the folk girl.
Half a month later, after daily secret observation, Lin Fei discovered that the civilian girl suddenly had a dagger in her sleeve, and recognized it as the Yin Ming Hand Blade.
One night not long after, he sneaked into the girl's house and stole the knife.
As soon as Lin Fei received the hand blade, his right hand was burned, so he had to endure the severe pain and take the hand blade home.
Since he could not find out the whereabouts of the seven scrolls, Lin Fei had no choice but to give up this idea and put the hand blade of Taizu Pluto into a sealed wooden box and buried it deep in the ground.
It was not until four thousand years ago, when his son Lin Mo entered the Zhao family and became a master recruited by his disciples, that Lin Fei told Lin Mo about this.
After Lin Mo learned about this, he began to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of the scroll placed in Zhao Chong's house. Although he later learned that the scroll was in the bookcase in Zhao Chong's room, Lin Mo did not dare to do so because he was worried about being discovered.
..
Eighteen years ago, because the fourth generation Pluto Yu Qiao suddenly sacrificed his ghost to seal the gate of Pluto, the ghost king took the eight kings out of hell, and the underworld was in chaos.
Everyone in the Zhao family was busy dealing with the chaos in the underworld. Lin Mo just found the opportunity to enter Zhao Chong's room, opened the scroll, and entered the world in the scroll with the Yama hand blade. This chapter has been completed!
