The inner courtyard of the Wang family was silent.
The lids of ten coffins fell, and the ground was covered with blood.
Except for Gu Qingzong, Xu Changge's previous grudges have been settled. Xu Changge has no interest in continuing to toss.
"Miss!"
At this time, a person appeared at the gate of the Wang family, and it turned out to be Miao'er.
Miao'er was originally under house arrest in the Liu family, but was secretly rescued by Liu Pingjiang of the Beiqiao Guard. Miao'er escaped from the Liu family and hurried to the Wang family.
Knowing that the Wang family is like a dragon in a tiger's den, Miao'er overcame the fear in her heart. Even if she died, she would die with Liu Qing'er.
When Miao'er arrived at Wang's house, she found that the atmosphere was so strange, without any festive sounds, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Moreover, there were no guards guarding the gate of the Wang family. Miao Er walked straight in. When he saw the blood-stained coffin and Xu Changge standing upright in the middle of the crowd, he was stunned: "Young Master...
.”
"Let's go back!"
Xu Changge took Liu Qing'er's hand and left the Wang family step by step in front of everyone.
Liu Qing'er's heart was extremely complicated at this moment, and her face was filled with surprise and doubt. However, when Liu Qing'er held Xu Changge's hand, she felt the familiar warmth, and all her doubts slowly disappeared.
No matter what happens, as long as Xu Changge is by my side, everything will be fine.
Liu Qing'er seemed to have returned to his youth, when Xu Changge wiped out all the bandits near Yundong City with one man and one sword, and reached out to save Liu Qing'er from danger.
Today is as vivid as that time.
Xu Changge took Liu Qing'er's hand and walked slowly to Miao'er, who was still in a daze. He gently tapped Miao'er's head with his other hand: "Stop being in a daze and go home."
"Oh, oh, oh." Miao'er nodded like a fool, trotted to catch up with Xu Changge and Liu Qing'er, and kept mumbling: "Miss, Master, what happened just now?"
Xu Changge had a smile on his face and said nothing. Liu Qing'er satisfied Miao'er's curiosity and told the story of what had just happened.
Miao'er listened to these things, her expression was horrified, she covered her mouth and exclaimed.
It wasn't until Xu Changge left for a long time that everyone in the Wang family had the courage to speak out and hurriedly left the Wang family, muttering: "The Wang family is gone."
The elders of the Xu family are no longer as colorful as they used to be, and each one is more depressed than the last. Their cultivation has been ruined, and their lifespan is not long. From today on, the Xu family will decline and return to its past.
Things between Xu Changge and the others are naturally over, but there is still a grudge between him and the Xu family that needs to be settled.
Since Xu Changge knew that he was not a bloodline of the Xu family, of course he had to find out the reason. In fact, even if the Xu family did not tell this, when Xu Changge's cultivation becomes stronger in the future, he will still be able to sense the difference in bloodline.
In an inn, Xu Changge arranged for Liu Qing'er and Miao'er and asked them to wait for his return and not to go out.
"Don't worry, we will wait for you to come back and we won't run around."
Liu Qing'er and Miao'er were very obedient and knew not to cause trouble to Xu Changge at this time.
Xu Changge went to the Xu family, while Miao'er had no scruples and pulled Liu Qing'er and said: "Miss, when did you know that the young master's health has recovered? Is the young master really as strong as you said? The young master is not Xu.
The blood of the family, this is too..."
After the crisis was over, Miao'er no longer had the anxiety of the past, her face was full of doubts and shock, and she kept asking questions.
Liu Qing'er looked helpless and could only answer Miao'er's questions slowly.
At the same time, Xu Changge had arrived at the Xu family.
When Xu Changge appeared at the door, the guards were so frightened that they trembled all over and saluted with utmost respect: "Young Master!"
"I am no longer the young master of the Xu family."
Xu Changge looked indifferent and walked straight into Xu's house. No one dared to stop him.
Nowadays, no one in the entire Yundong City knows how terrifying Xu Changge is and fears him like a tiger.
In the past, when Xu Changge was in despair, the guards in the mansion were not so awe-inspiring. It was not until Xu Changge walked into the gate that the guards dared to raise their heads, with cold sweat on their faces, fearing that they would be punished by Xu Changge.
"You...what else do you want to do?"
In the inner lobby of the Xu family, the senior executives showed horrified expressions when they saw Xu Changge's arrival.
The top management of the Xu family are basically useless. They are discussing the future of the Xu family, and the future is dark.
"Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't just prepare ten coffins."
Xu Changge looked at the flowers and plants of the Xu family, feeling somewhat nostalgic and sad.
"Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you."
In the huge Xu family, only the patriarch, Xu Shanling, still retains his cultivation. Now, his face is haggard and bloodless.
"Where did you pick me up?"
Xu Changge asked straight to the point.
"You come with me!"
Xu Shanling took a deep look at Xu Changge and said weakly.
Then, Xu Changge followed Xu Shanling to a secret room. This place was extremely remote, and it was the first time that Xu Changge knew that there was such a place in the family.
It has to be said that Xu Shanling's city and means are indeed not simple.
Xu Shanling lit the lights in the secret room, walked to the depths of the secret room, and took out an exquisite sandalwood box. Xu Shanling looked down at the box and said slowly: "Back then, when I was out training, I met a woman.
Man. The woman was seriously injured and dying, with a baby in her arms. The woman originally wanted to kill me, but I could feel the killing intent in her eyes, for fear that I would reveal her location."
"Later she changed her mind and asked me to make a Taoist oath to raise the baby to adulthood, and gave me all the remaining spiritual stones. This box was also what she gave to me. When you grow up,
When I become an adult, I will hand the box over to you."
"I...I agreed and brought you back. I was very curious about what was inside the box. However, for more than twenty years, I have tried countless methods and failed to open the box.
This box is a rare treasure in the world, and the things inside the box are definitely even more precious."
"Because of greed, I finally concealed the matter and did not give the box to you. Maybe this is retribution!"
As Xu Shanling spoke, he laughed at himself, with regret deep in his eyes.
Xu Changge could tell that nothing Xu Shanling said was false, it was all true: "Then why are you telling me now? Is your conscience aware of it?"
"If I said that I regretted doing this to you, would you believe me?"
Xu Shanling's eyes turned red and his voice trembled.
Xu Changge and Xu Shanling looked at each other in silence.
The atmosphere in the secret room was very dull. Xu Shanling knew that it was useless to say anything now. He sighed softly and handed the sandalwood box in his hand to Xu Changge: "Perhaps only you can open this box."
Xu Changge held the box, feeling vaguely familiar and familiar.
The art of blood sacrifice?
With Xu Changge's vision, he quickly determined the origin of this box. Xu Changge speculated that when he was just born in this life, he used the blood of his fingertips to sacrifice the box, sealed the box, and imposed a ban.
If you want to open the box, you either have to be far stronger than the person who placed the restriction, or Xu Changge himself uses his own blood to unlock the restriction.
"Did you know? The woman at that time also said something at the end, if I treat you well, I will definitely get a lot of blessings from you in the future. Otherwise, disaster will surely come."
Xu Shanling recalled the incident buried deep in his heart and couldn't bear to look back: "I believed the woman's words. Since the Xu family had you, they have made great progress and become the top family in Yundong City in twenty years. But.
, I did not persist to the end, and the Xu family deserved this disaster."
"What's the use of saying these words now?"
Xu Changge's mood did not fluctuate at all.
For five years, Xu Shanling did not visit Xu Changge once. In fact, the Xu family did not give a penny to treat Xu Changge's leg disease, and threw Xu Changge into an abandoned yard to fend for himself.
In these years, only Liu Qing'er and the maid Miao'er have stayed together.
"It's really no use."
Xu Shanling said to himself.
Holding the box, Xu Changge was about to leave. He had gotten the answer he wanted. With this box as a clue, Xu Changge believed that one day he could figure out the origin of this life.
"etc."
Xu Shanling looked at Xu Changge who was drifting away.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Xu Changge paused and did not look back.
"You...are you just going to leave like that? You're not going to kill me?"
Xu Shanling's hair was messy, his face was not as heroic as before, and he looked haggard.
"For you, living is the most painful torture. Killing you will only free you."
Maybe this was Xu Changge's inner thoughts, or maybe it was because he remembered the father-son relationship with Xu Shanling over the years. At this moment, Xu Changge's heart felt a little complicated.
After all, Xu Changge and Xu Shanling have a father-son bond that is indelible.
After saying that, Xu Changge left without looking back.
Xu Shanling slumped on the floor of the secret room, with no tears or wailing, just endless silence. As Xu Changge said, living is the greatest punishment for Xu Shanling.
In order to help the Xu family rise, Xu Shanling suffered a lot in his life and made many calculations. But after Xu Shanling made so many plans, he finally returned to the starting point, which is extremely ridiculous.
"I... was really wrong."
Xu Shanling thought of Xu Changge's appearance as a child, pink and waxy, and lovable. He also thought of the way Xu Changge was injured when he first fought for resources for his family. There was an amazing perseverance on his young face.
"What exactly am I pursuing in this life?"
Xu Shanling looked at the desolate Xu family and felt confused.
That night, a burst of bad news spread throughout the Xu family, shocking countless people.
The patriarch Xu Shanling cut off his legs that night, destroyed his Dantian, and committed suicide.
