Tang Zhong just asked her who she was. This was a very simple question, but it stumped Hua Fan.
The name "Tang Mingzhen" was given by Shangguan Jinnian. The word "Mingzhen" was a name borrowed from a Taoist priest who had ascended to immortality. Shangguan Jinnian found this name in order to conceal her demonic nature.
Name. But she herself doesn’t know exactly what name her parents gave her.
"Father, I am your youngest daughter. It was my fifth birthday when you passed away." She only remembered this.
Tang Zhong had just woken up from the tomb and saw that his youngest daughter had grown up, and he suddenly felt like he was in another world.
"Shu'er... where is your mother? Where are your brothers?" Tang Zhong asked, his eyes full of concern.
Only then did Hua Fan realize that her name was "Shu". It was such a beautiful and gentle word, but using it as her name would be a waste of money.
She was at a loss for words. How could she tell him that the Tang family had been wiped out twenty years ago, and she was the only descendant left in the family?
"They are all here. The Tang family is me, and I am the whole clan." Hua Fan said.
Smokey Red Tears choked her and made her cough.
Hua Fan stepped forward, knelt down gently, and said to Tang Zhong: "Father, I know you may be shocked, but I still have to tell you. The Tang family is no longer there. Twenty years ago, it was
In the year you died, the Tang family was wiped out by sudden changes, leaving only me. Now
Twenty years have passed. My daughter didn’t want to disturb your soul. But now the whole world is at war. My daughter wants to stop this and find out the truth about why our whole family died twenty years ago. Father, you
You should know what happened twenty years ago, so please help your daughter no matter what."
Tang Zhong's face was full of surprise. He couldn't accept the facts Hua Fan said for a while.
When Hua Fan looked up again, Tang Zhong was already in tears.
"Everyone talks about destiny. In fact, the so-called destiny is actually a disaster! I spent my whole life looking for destiny, but I never thought that what I found was not destiny, but the destiny that destroyed my family and plunged the whole world into chaos.
Disaster!"
"The disaster star you are talking about is the five-color edict of destiny?" Yan Honglei asked.
Tang Zhong turned his eyes, took a look at Yan Hong and said with tears, "Brown hair and blue eyes. I know who you are, and I know your father."
Yan Honglei smiled, obviously he already knew about this.
"Old General, you haven't answered my question yet. Was the [Disaster Star] that caused the entire Tang family to be wiped out was the Five-Colored Edict of Destiny?"
Tang Zhongdao: "Oh, destiny? The real destiny is determined in people's hearts, so how can it be written on a piece of paper? This five-color edict did not bring enlightenment to the whole world, but instead gave too many people who wanted to be [the enlightenment]
People who bring targets for robbery are the culprits of the whole world. No matter it was then or now, they should be burned and then quickly!"
"Did you burn the Five-Colored Edict?" Hua Fan heard the hint of a problem and asked in surprise before he finished speaking.
"That's it. Shu'er, I, the Baize clan, exist in this world just so that the world can have a wise ruler in power from generation to generation. The so-called "governing by writing" is just a formality. The Five-Colored Edict brought war and disaster,
Of course, Father cannot allow this kind of thing to remain in the world."
Hua Fan nodded blankly, as if he had thought of something...
Yan Honglei raised her eyebrows, helping her clarify her confusion: "Although the Five-Colored Edict is not a good thing, it is indeed a gift from heaven. Anyone who violates it will definitely be punished by heaven. Especially the mythical beast Bai who is supposed to protect the destiny.
Ze, you have suddenly violated the destiny of heaven, and God will punish you even more severely. General Tang, I dare to ask you, when you died twenty years ago, were you burning the five-color edict?"
Although Tang Zhong was a little unconvinced, he still nodded in acquiescence.
"That's right." Yan Honglei said. "The five-color edict I found has a small burnt corner on it. I was once very puzzled as to who was so bold."
"You..." Tang Zhong was obviously not used to Yan Honglei's unrestrained words.
In Hua Fan's heart, a big stone fell to the ground.
She once thought that it was Shangguan Jinnian who killed her father. He killed his father to silence him in order to take away the Five Colors Edict. But now what her father said in person all pointed to the fact that Shangguan Jinnian was not the original one.
murderer.
Hua Fan also had a bigger question in his mind. Since the murderer of his father was not Shangguan Jinnian, was it also not Shangguan Jinnian who wiped out the entire Tang family?
Tang Zhong stepped forward and helped Hua Fan, who was still kneeling on the ground, forgetting to get up, and his arms were trembling a little.
Hua Fan stood up. Although she had no idea about the word "father", but now that Tang Zhong was in front of her, she still had tears in her eyes.
Yan Honglei didn't want to disturb the scene of deep love between father and daughter.
"General Tang, since you have returned, you are the head of the Tang family, and you are also the one who personally experienced the incident twenty years ago. I still ask you to come forward and make this chaos caused by the Five-Colored Edict come to an end.
Let's settle it." Yan Honglei said.
Hua Fan noticed that from the beginning, his father was wary of Yan Hong Lei.
"If my guess is correct, the water you used to resurrect me should be the water from Mingyue West, right?" Tang Zhong asked suddenly.
Hua Fan nodded in acquiescence.
There was a hint of sadness on the corners of Tang Zhong's lips.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid there's not much I can do. But as long as it can be used for a little bit, I will do my best."
Hua Fan didn't understand why Tang Zhong's tone was suddenly hesitant. But even though they had just met, she began to protect her father out of blood instinct.
"Don't worry, father. If you think about it, I am one of the chief culprits in today's mess. If father doesn't want to come forward, just leave it to me. You can come back to life. To me, it is already a blessing from God."
Yes." Hua Fan said.
Yan Honglei felt a little speechless at Hua Fan's sudden defection. Key Yan Honglei.
He walked to the door and stopped. Hua turned back and looked at the smoke-red tears.
Smokey Red Tears feels a little proud.
Hua Fan's eyes returned to Tang Zhong: "Father, you have been here for many years, and these clothes have become rotten and can no longer be worn. Why not change with this guy."
Smokey Red Tears: "..."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the three people appeared in front of Gu Sha, who was still burning incense in the sacrificial hall.
Gu Sha looked at the strange combination in front of him and felt his head was a little cramped.
Tang Zhong was wearing the same white shirt that he had worn when Yan Hongtei came. The clothes were obviously too small. Tang Zhong's thick warrior arms were wrapped in narrow cuffs that were somewhat Hu people style. They looked like a lotus root that was about to explode, not to mention his belly.
Said...
The effect of the smoky red tears was even more horrific. The clothes on his body, which exuded a strange smell and were shredded into pieces, could not be called clothes. It was a human tragedy for him to stand there...
Even though he was as serious as Gu Sha, he couldn't help but want to laugh. As soon as he was about to laugh, he immediately coughed to stop. He solemnly paid homage to Tang Zhong and said: "My descendants pay homage to General Tang."
Tang Zhongdao: "Looking at your appearance, you seem to be a descendant of Gu Diao. Your father and brother have both worked with me. They are both brave and capable generals."
Gusha responded humbly.

The three people left the cemetery and turned to the Tang family's old house. The surroundings of the old house were also covered with purple ferns. The orange sunset poured down, and the purple turned into a bright red like blood. According to Liang
According to local customs in the state, paying homage to relatives who died abnormally should be
It is necessary to dig three feet into the ground where they died and bury nine pieces of emerald-white jade from Kunshan. Then tie up seven or forty-nine torches with ferns and light a bonfire on the ground where the jade was buried.
.When the souls of the dead see this torch, they will come back and reunite with their loved ones.
"According to the wet nurse who hid me back then, the people who massacred Liangzhou City were the Hu people from the north. They used scimitars to kill people and spoke words that people from the Central Plains did not understand. But my daughter later learned that the Hu people in the north,
Twenty years ago, it was still very unpopular, and you shouldn't dare to take the initiative to massacre the city." Hua Fan said to Tang Zhong while lighting the torch of fern.
When Tang Zhong heard this, he chuckled, "Hu people? My father has been guarding this border for more than 20 years. The Central Plains have always sent troops to attack the Hu people. How can there be any reason why the weak Hu people come to the door? This must be
It's Chang'an who caused the trouble, either from the royal family or from the Shangguan family."
Hua Fan was silent, it seemed that even Tang Zhong thought so.
"It should be... the Shangguan family..." Hua Fan's voice sounded like a mosquito.
Tang Zhong was a little confused.
"The royal family (Li family) has already declined, and they probably don't have the strength to snatch these five-color edicts anymore. But when it comes to the Shangguan family, although I have been looking for the five-color edicts for the Shangguan family, the old man from Shangguan Town and I have known each other for many years.
Sorry, I don’t believe he would do such a cruel thing to me." Tang Zhong said thoughtfully.
"Then... where is Shangguan Town's son?" Hua Fan finally asked the question he wanted to know most in a roundabout way.
Tang Zhong was stunned and said: "Shangguan, I should have only one son."
Hua Fan said: "Yes, aren't Shangguan Chiying and Shangguan Jinnian a son and a daughter?"
Tang Zhong said: "I didn't expect Shu'er to know the situation in Chang'an so clearly. That's it. He only has that one son, so how can he have another son?"
Hua Fan was confused by him. He said very puzzledly: "What my daughter said was Shangguan Jinnian. It is impossible that Shangguan Jinnian asked the barbarians to massacre the city..."
Tang Zhong was stunned, the expression on his face was even more confused than Hua Fan's.
"Shu'er is joking, right? The only son of Shangguan Town is already dead. How could a dead man massacre the city?"
