Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Zhen blankly. Zhou Zhen's face was extremely solemn. Zhou Chen had never seen this expression on Zhou Zhen's face before.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Zhen said: "Yes, a drop of the blood essence of the ancestors of the Zhou family, and it is the blood essence of a saint."
"Saint essence and blood?"
Lie Tianzun and Zhou Chen shouted loudly in unison. Both of them were shocked by the news. Their mouths were opened hugely and their expressions were extremely frightened. Zhou Chen naturally knew about the saint's essence and blood and had just met him some time ago.
It also caused a big commotion, and Lie Tianzun was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Chen's ancestor was actually a saint, who was the most powerful being in the world.
Zhou Zhen looked into the sky, as if he was reminiscing about something: "This matter has to start with the origin of the Zhou family. The Zhou family in Qingyang City where we are is actually just a branch, and the real main line of the Zhou family was once the ancient world of the Central Continent.
It is recorded in the ancestral records that ten thousand years ago, the Zhou family was the most powerful family in the ancient world, with a high status, because the Zhou family had a saint ancestor, who could be said to be the strongest in the world at that time.
One of the people, but then I don’t know what happened. The ancestor suddenly disappeared. Then the Zhou family suffered an inexplicable curse. Countless clan members died in the curse. From then on, the Zhou family fell apart. The entire Zhou family was in the ancient world.
disappeared, and this drop of saint's essence and blood left by our ancestor is not a treasure to our Zhou family, but a disaster. If the Zhou family uses this drop of essence and blood, although it will improve their own cultivation and reshape their foundation,
But it will also trigger a fatal curse, so no one in the main line of the Zhou family has been willing to use this drop of blood. They even think that this drop of blood will bring disaster to the Zhou family, and many clan members have begun to avoid the descendants of their Zhou family.
Identity, over time, the Zhou family not only failed to regain its glory, but also declined day by day."
"Grandpa, where are my parents?" Zhou Chen asked anxiously. He wanted to know if his parents were still alive.
"About your parents, I have never mentioned it to you. In fact, your mother's surname is also Zhou, and she comes from a branch of the Zhou family in the Qingyun Realm of the Central Continent. Your father's name is Zhou Jinyuan, and your mother's name is Zhou Luoxue. Although your mother's lineage calls itself
It is a branch line, but judging from the Zhou family’s family books, their branch line was actually established by some of the people from the main line left over from the ancient world. Your mother fled to the Shenyun Empire back then, and inadvertently interacted with you.
When my father met me, he stayed with the Zhou family in Qingyang City, and then we had you, and this drop of the saint's essence and blood left by our ancestor was also left behind."
"You said my mother fled to Qingyang City?" Zhou Chen asked doubtfully.
"Because the Zhou family in Qingyun Realm was exterminated, the main line of the Zhou family has been surviving for thousands of years. It has been called a branch of the Zhou family to avoid being discovered by the enemy. However, the existence of this drop of saint's blood is still the main line of the Zhou family.
The calamity of genocide came, and your mother escaped from the Qingyun Realm with this drop of saint blood, and has stayed in the Northern Territory since then, while no one in the Zhou family who survived has disappeared."
"Then where are they now? Did they leave the Northern Territory? Or...?" Zhou Chen naturally asked his parents.
Zhou Zhen naturally knew what Zhou Chen meant by asking, and sighed: "One day fourteen years ago, the two of them stepped into the Yuan Ying Mirror at the same time, but as soon as they stepped into the Yuan Ying Mirror, something strange erupted from their bodies.
Xiang, I heard your mother say that this kind of strange phenomenon is a sign that the bloodline of the Zhou family is about to revive. Once the bloodline is revived, the curse will break out. At that time, it may attract the pursuit of enemies and implicate our Zhou family, and you
You were still young at the time, so they left you in the Zhou family while they left the Northern Territory. According to her, they would go to the ancestral land of the Zhou family in the ancient world to find a way to break the blood curse. Before leaving, they would
I placed that drop of saint's essence and blood in the ancestral hall, set up a formation, and told me to give it to you after you enter the Yuan Dan realm."
Zhou Zhen recalled the original scene, his expression was a little solemn, and his face was a little lonely. It turned out that the birth of two Nascent Soul masters in the Zhou family was a great joy, not to mention in this Qingyang City, even in the gods
The Yun Empire can be regarded as a first-class power. In the Shenyun Empire, the highest level is the Nascent Soul Mirror. If a strong Nascent Soul Mirror appears in a certain force, this force will directly become a first-class force. But no one would have thought that Zhou Jinyuan and
As soon as Zhou Luoxue entered the Nascent Soul Mirror, she was eroded by the curse and was forced to leave the Northern Territory. If not for this, the Zhou family would not be in the current situation.
Zhou Chen's expression was a little solemn and sentimental. He knew that the curse on his parents must be the double-eyes curse. If it was the double-eyes curse, fourteen years have passed now. If they didn't find a way to break the curse, then
Are they still alive now? Zhou Chen didn't dare to think about this problem, but his parents were strong masters of the Nascent Soul Mirror after all. Maybe they could find a way to crack it when they returned to their ancestral land, but Zhou Chen decided not to tell Zhou
Regarding the curse on Zhen himself, he was afraid that Zhou Zhen would worry about him.
After listening to what Zhou Zhen said, Zhou Chen roughly understood that Zhou Zhen didn't know how to solve the curse problem. He originally wanted to go back to Zhou's house to ask about the curse, but it seemed that this road was blocked.
Zhou Chen was also a little puzzled. Since this drop of saint essence and blood was so evil, why did his mother leave it to him? Zhou Zhen only had a partial understanding of this, but Zhou Chen felt that his mother would never harm him. Since she left this thing to him
, there must be her plan.
"Then did my father and mother tell me how to open the formation? The Lu family said that I have a secret key, but I don't know the existence of the secret key at all."
"The secret key to unlocking the formation is your blood essence, and only you can enter this formation."
"By the way, grandpa, has our Zhou family sent anyone to meet with the Lu family in the past few days?" Zhou Chen asked tentatively, remembering his meeting with Zhou Jintian in Tianbao Pavilion during the day.
Zhou Zhen was a little confused. He didn't know why Zhou Chen asked this. He shook his head and said, "I will temporarily let them go out less often to avoid being attacked and killed by the Lu family. We will discuss everything after your uncle Jintian comes back from Shenyun City."
"You said Uncle Jintian went to Shenyun Empire and hasn't come back yet?" Zhou Chen was startled and realized that things were getting more and more wrong.
"Yeah, it will probably take a few days before I can come back. What's wrong?" Zhou Zhen looked at Zhou Chen's expression with some confusion.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, and his face looked a little ugly. According to Zhou Zhen, Zhou Jintian should not be in Qingyang City, but Zhou Chen did see him in Tianbao Pavilion, which means that he has been in Qingyang City these days and has not returned to Zhou Chen.
Although I didn’t know the reason behind this, Zhou Chen felt that the matter was not simple. Zhou Chen decided not to tell Zhou Zhen for the time being and to find a way to verify it by himself to avoid any misunderstanding later.
"Grandpa, how many people in the family know about the things my mother left behind? Why would the Lu family know that there is a treasure in our ancestral hall?" This question has been bothering Zhou Chen for a long time. At this time, he felt that the problem might be within the Zhou family.
"Actually, I'm also confused about this question. In the whole Zhou family, only my second brother and my third brother know about the things your parents left behind. And I'm the only one who really knows what the things are. Why would the five major families know about this?
?" Zhou Zhen was also a little puzzled. When Zhou Luoxue wanted to enter the ancestral hall to set up the formation, he had to notify several elders, so there were two elders and three elders present at the time, but as for what was left behind, they didn't know. Outsiders
I don’t even know.
Zhou Chen roughly understood the root cause of the matter. He believed that it was impossible for his grandfather to spread the news. Judging from the reactions of the five major families, they did not know exactly what this thing was, so only the second elder and the third elder
The news corresponds to this, and both of them are worthy of suspicion. However, according to Zhou Zhen, the third elder's son Zhou Jincheng was injured by the Lu family, and Zhou Jintian's whereabouts are a bit strange. Zhou Chen feels that the two are the most suspicious now.
Elder.
"Don't worry about it now, Grandpa, all the questions now point to the so-called treasure. I want to go to the ancestral hall and take the things away first." Zhou Chen organized his thoughts, exhaled gently, and faced
Zhou Zhen said.
"Chen'er, this is what your parents left for you. It's okay for you to take it away, but grandpa is worried that this thing will bring disaster to you." Zhou Zhen looked at Zhou Chen with a worried face and said, although now Zhou Zhen
Chen has grown up and his level of strength has become stronger, but Zhou Zhen is still worried that he will act too impulsively and use that drop of saint blood.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what's appropriate." Zhou Chen smiled slightly at Zhou Zhen. In fact, he really wanted to say that he had been cursed. So what if that drop of blood could trigger a curse? Could there be more?
Bad results?
"It's not too late. I'll take you to the ancestral hall before dawn." Zhou Zhen nodded and made up his mind. If the matter is not resolved now, he may not have the opportunity to hand over this drop of saint's essence and blood again in the future.
Give it to Zhou Chen.
…
Zhou Chen put on a black robe to hide his breath, slightly opened the window to check around, and then put away the formation.
The lights in the room went out, and two black figures flashed out of the room and went straight to the depths of Zhou's backyard.
Although the Zhou family's ancestral hall is deep, it is not too far away. Due to the existence of the large formation, there is no need for anyone to guard the place. No one comes close to it on weekdays. The two of them were very careful along the way and did not disturb anyone.
After a while, Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhen stood at the door of the ancestral hall. The entire ancestral hall was surrounded by a large formation. In the night, there was a faint light shining. Zhou Chen felt the mysterious path in the formation. This formation
There are at least tens of thousands of formations inside, and countless complex formations are intertwined together. It should be a sixth-level formation.
"Drop your essence and blood into the stone statue on the left." Zhou Zhen pointed to a stone statue on the left and said.
Zhou Chen raised his eyes and saw two walking stone statues at the entrance of the hall. Zhou Chen swiped his finger, and a drop of blood essence appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, the blood essence flew to the stone statue on the left, disappearing in an instant.
Buzz!
The magic circle trembled slightly and made a low sound.
"It will be dawn in an hour. Chen'er, hurry in and I'll be here to guard you." Zhou Zhen patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and said softly.
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Zhen, and he understood that the essence and blood had just been dripped into it, which was similar to identity authentication. Now that the magic circle had recognized his identity, he could enter, but others could not.
Zhou Chen did not hesitate and stepped directly into the magic circle. The moment he passed through, he felt that he was covered by a mysterious force. This force seemed to be detecting his information, but the magic circle did not react too violently.
, Zhou Chen successfully entered the ancestral hall.
Zhou Chen walked into the inner hall of the ancestral hall. Zhou Zhen had already told him the location of the treasure. There were candles on both sides. The whole inner hall was quite bright. However, Zhou Chen's eyesight was very good now. Even in darkness, he could see
See clearly.
Zhou Chen saw a porcelain bottle as white as jade placed on the sacrificial table. There was a piece of yellow talisman paper attached to the mouth of the bottle, with some complex patterns painted on it. The body of the bottle faintly exuded faint spiritual power fluctuations. Zhou Chen felt
This wave of power is believed to contain the drop of the saint's essence and blood.
Zhou Chen carefully held the porcelain bottle in his hand and reached out to grab the yellow talisman paper.
"Don't move. If this talisman is torn open, it will cause huge fluctuations and cause trouble." Lie Tianzun suddenly said.
After Zhou Chen was reminded by Lie Tianzun, he broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed to have received some inexplicable instructions in his mind just now, asking him to uncover this yellow paper. Zhou Chen was startled by Lie Tianzun, and he woke up and became heavy.
He was so angry that he said with lingering fear: "It's so dangerous, this saint's essence and blood is so weird."
"There may be something wrong with this drop of saint's essence and blood. There seems to be a trace of thought left. Don't touch it for the time being." Lie Tianzun looked a little solemn. He felt that this drop of saint's essence and blood was very extraordinary, especially the yellow talisman on it, which seemed to be
What is being sealed?
Zhou Chen carefully put a Na ring into the porcelain bottle, and then put the Na ring into the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl. After doing all this, Zhou Chen took a deep breath and finally solved one thing. If this thing is left in Zhou Chen
Sooner or later, it will bring disaster to the Zhou family, and without the protection of the formation, the fluctuation of spiritual power released by this porcelain bottle will definitely be noticed by others. Only by placing it in the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl can this kind of fluctuation be isolated. Thinking of this
, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel that his mother was too caring. This was the essence and blood of a saint. He had experienced the turmoil caused by this thing, but his mother just put it in the Zhou family's ancestral hall, and planned to keep it for himself.
, this is too risky. If you don’t have the Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl to store it, something will happen sooner or later.
