Ye Fan smiled and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

At this point, he has a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning.

"Let's talk about Jiang Yuan first. ”

"Jiang ......" Xiao Tianxi was stunned, since the establishment of the worship relationship between the two parties a hundred years ago, the Xiao family has always adhered to the oath of keeping the Jiang family's secrets, and now things have come to this point......

At this point, Xiao Tianxi must make a choice.

Jiang Yuan is dead, he and Ye Fan have become grasshoppers on the same rope, and he has deeply realized that the cultivators are ruthless and unrighteous, and he can no longer be indecisive. If you want to save the remnants of the Xiao family, you can only abandon the darkness and turn to the light, betray the old master, and turn to another party.

With trembling fingers, Xiao Tianxi lit a cigarette, hoarsely voiced, and told the secret story of the past a hundred years ago.

"It was the third year of Xuantong, not long after the last emperor of the capital ascended the throne......"

The three years of Xuantong happened to be a century ago.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, unable to support the huge foundation of the country, the people were struggling to make a living, and the ancestors of the Xiao family, who had made a fortune by running money houses and pawnshops, were in a worse situation, and they were about to go bankrupt and become hungry civilians.

At that time, the patriarch of the Xiao family, that is, Xiao Mushan and Xiao Tianxi's grandfather Xiao Fugui took risks and sold illicit salt, which was a major crime of killing the head at that time.

It is also Xiao Fugui's life that should not be extinguished, perhaps because he is destined to bring wealth and nobility, destined to bring a hundred years of good luck to the Xiao family, this market dealer whose life is harder than the emperor saved half a bowl of gruel in the death row prison and got acquainted with a jewelry merchant who was suffering from a vicious illness and dying.

When Xiao Fugui took the wooden box from him, a legendary history began.

"What's in the wooden box?" Ye Fan asked.

"Jade, a piece of beautiful jade. Xiao Tianxi's expression was very excited, and his lips trembled a little nervously: "Later, the ancestor smashed the piece of beautiful jade according to what the merchant said, and suddenly, the clouds and mist rose flat, and a figure appeared in the death row. ”

Suddenly, Ye Fan's eyes narrowed, like a man's back, teleporting! This is definitely not a retreat technique that a cultivator of his level can do, this is a thousand-mile retreat technique!

Could it be that the person has already stepped into the realm of the Great Dao Jindan, and is one step away from the daytime soaring?

"Go on!"

Xiao Tianxi swallowed his saliva, calmed down, and continued in a hoarse voice: "When the ancestor woke up, the person had already left Fengtian and was in the capital, but for only two hours, the immortal had disappeared without a trace......

It was a distance of thousands of miles from Mukden to the capital! At that time, no means of transportation could reach such speeds.

A thousand miles away, definitely a thousand miles away!

"After escaping from prison, the ancestors thanked the heavens, thanked Dade, worked hard to make a living, and gradually settled down in the capital, found the descendants of the jewelry merchant, married his family, and the business became bigger and bigger......"

coincided with the troubled times, the warlords were fighting, Xiao Fugui escaped death once, cherished this hard-won life, did business abroad, dealt with European, American, and Japanese officials and businessmen, trafficked arms, food and wages, lent money and set up banks, and became the original big comprador and big capitalist of the Republic of China.

If everything goes according to plan, the Xiao family will still not be able to escape the fate of extinction, unless they emigrate overseas. Everyone knows that the period of history before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China was devastating.

Of the four major families of that year, only some of the Song family dared to stay on the mainland, and they were still protected and shaded by **.

In his later years, Xiao Fugui almost forgot the mysterious past more than 30 years ago, his business went overseas, his disciples were all over China, and the people he came into contact with were all the great dictators, big warlords, and even some veterans of the republic.

Until one night, when Xiao Fugui's family was enjoying the cool in the backyard of the house, there was a puff of smoke on the flat ground, and after many years, the fairy-like figure appeared again, this time, scaring the children and grandchildren of the Xiao family enough.

When a large group of people were about to call the family to protect the home, Xiao Fugui dragged his elderly body, knelt down and bowed with a pop, and kowtowed three times in a row.

The robed man raised his hand with a smile and gently lifted Xiao Fugui's body, and then, the two had a formal conversation for the first time.

From their conversation, this secret was gradually known by the descendants of the Xiao family. Xiao Fugui has hidden from them for more than 30 years, without saying a word, perhaps it is his principle of abiding by the secret of life that is favored by the gods, so there is the next story.

This foreign master claimed to be surnamed Jiang, and he came here to ask Xiao Fugui to do something for him.

The grace of saving his life is reciprocated by the spring, not to mention that it is entrusted by the gods, but when Xiao Fugui learned what it was, he was in trouble.

What Immortal Jiang asked him to do was to search for a rare metal called "pewter".

At that time, the scientific level of the periodic table was not yet perfect, and many substances had not been discovered by humans, and no one knew them even if they were in front of them.

Xiao Fugui said the unspeakable in his heart, and Jiang Shenxian immediately smiled, and conjured a fist-sized sample with his empty hands.

"Do you remember what the pewter looks like?" Ye Fan interjected again.

"It's a lead-tin alloy. Xiao Tianxi sighed: "This is what I heard my father say later. ”

In the year when the immortal appeared, Xiao Tianxi was only five years old, so he naturally couldn't remember what happened, and his words came from his father.

The two elements of lead and tin are not common, even if the modern level of science and technology is very troublesome to mine, Xiao Fugui took a bite to inherit, looking for business friends at home and abroad, and finally bought a batch of pewter from the United Kingdom, which is enough for dozens of tons!

After this batch of pewter was unloaded from Tianjin Port, it disappeared unknowingly the next morning! This can make the Xiao family anxious, the loss of money is small, and it is a big deal if they cannot deliver the instructions of the gods!

Unexpectedly, just when Xiao Fugui was about to rush to Tianjin in person, the Jiang Shenxian came uninvited again, and it turned out that the white pewter had been taken away by him.

The immortal was very satisfied with what Xiao Fugui had done, and rewarded him with two pills on the spot, saying that it could prolong life and delay aging.

It's a pity that Xiao Fugui is old and has no blessings to enjoy, the fairy said that the fortune of his life has been exhausted, and his body can't bear the fierceness of those two pills. After Jiang Shenxian left, Xiao Fugui called his children and grandchildren at home and divided the two elixirs.

A pill is divided into two parts, sons and grandsons, each of whom gets a share, women have no status in the old society, and they want to taste it.

These elixirs do have a real wonderful use, not only Xiao Tianxi and Xiao Mushan are still full of red light and steady steps after being contaminated with this medicine, but their fathers and uncles also died at the age of nearly 100 without illness.

After completing this first thing, after more than a year, Jiang Shenxian took the initiative to come to the door again.

It turned out that the search for pewter was only the first step in the fairy's temptation to test him.

After that, every one or two years, he appeared, and the things he asked for became more and more scarce and bizarre every time, but Xiao Fugui fulfilled the wishes of the gods one by one, until he died of old age......

"The things he wants are all rare metals?" Ye Fan asked.

"Yes. Xiao Tianxi thought about it seriously, "No, since four or three years of fighting, Jiang Shenxian has not appeared, and he has been replaced by another person." ”

"Oh, how did the man find you? It's also smoke from the ground?"

"No, no, no, he came by rickshaw. Xiao Tianxi said: "He is also surnamed Jiang, and that time, he asked for 200,000 oceans." ”

is not a Jindan powerhouse, at least it can be inferred that the descendants of the Jiang family's cultivators are not wealthy.

It is very rare for a clan to produce such a master who penetrates the heavens and the earth.

This second cultivator surnamed Jiang replaced the old immortal, but since then the Xiao family and the Jiang family have been worshipping for nearly a hundred years, and Xiao Tianxi's uncle has traveled to the United States as a bridge between the two sides, and has been worshipping the Jiang family with huge wealth every year since then.

In return, whenever the Xiao family encountered a catastrophe and turned to the Jiang family's cultivators, they would secretly help solve it.

It is precisely because of this special relationship that is difficult to find in the world that the Xiao family can stand firmly in the capital after the founding of the country, and those Jiang clans who are all over the world have brought them not only three generations of glory and wealth, but also handed over the underground ruling power of the ten northern provinces to the Xiao family.

Xiao Fugui, who was born in a merchant in the past, was retrospectively remembered as a descendant of Da Liao after his death, and was placed with the good name of a prince of Xiao Wang, which gilded the Xiao family's grand hegemony with a mysterious halo.

If Ye Fan does not appear, the Xiao family will continue to maintain this long-term worship relationship with the Jiang family.

Compared with the heritage of Dragon City, the background of the Xiao family is more high-end, secretive, and unknown.

A Xiuzhen clan represents the top of the world's most terrifying and top pyramid, and their power can even change the dynasty and subvert the foundation of any country.

In the past hundred years, the Xiao family has paid countless fortunes to support this worship relationship, where is this wealth used?

When Xiao Tianxi finished telling this secret, Ye Fan pondered for a long time.

Jiang, Yao Zong...... Where is their erratic abode?

The Immortal Ancestor who was about to step into the Jindan Avenue was afraid that even the Qingfeng True Person would not be able to defeat his extraordinary powers!

Not facing the abyss, not knowing the horror, knowing the truth, Fang feels a lot of pressure.

After a long time, Ye Fan extinguished the cigarette butt and asked, "How did you contact Jiang Yuan?"
