Chapter 426: Secret
readx;? Xiao Yuanshan no longer had the calm he had before, he didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Gan, he just said with a displeased expression: "Let's go, this is not the place where you should come, now that the demons are everywhere, your ability should be used in battle." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Compared with the previous tone, Xiao Yuanshan has changed too much, which also makes Xiao Qian more sure that there is a secret in identifying Xiao Jing as a traitor back then.
"Grandpa, you haven't seen me for twenty years, do you really not recognize me as a grandson?" Xiao Qian said from the bottom of his heart.
Which child doesn't want to have a happy family, accompanied by the elderly at home, even if it is a strict education, Xiao Qian is very much looking forward to it, but he has never had any of these, he can only envy others, and he looks at it obsessively.
Xiao Yuanshan's breath was stagnant, if he was hard, he was not afraid at all, but he couldn't listen to this kind of soft words, Xiao Gan's questioning made Xiao Yuanshan not know how to answer for a while, in front of his grandson, he was always a twilight old man.
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, her grandmother hurriedly said, "Your grandfather did not let your father and you go back to the family, not because of hatred, but because he protected you, and if you stayed in the family, there would be a danger of losing your life." ”
The truth of the matter gradually surfaced, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yuanshan, who had always been indifferent, was actually out of love for his children and grandchildren, so that he had what he did today, everything came too suddenly, so that Xiao Qian was completely unprepared.
"Grandpa, what the hell is going on, please tell me. Xiao Qian knelt on the ground and said beggingly.
The strong momentum of the battle just now has all disappeared, and now standing in front of Xiao Yuanshan is just an ignorant child, wanting Xiao Yuanshan to tell him what happened.
After a long time, Xiao Yuanshan sighed and said faintly: "It seems that everything is the will of heaven, and you can't hide from what you should come, since you want to know, then come in with me." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuanshan staggered towards the door, a strong emperor would never have such a walking posture, but under the constant stimulation, Xiao Yuanshan felt that he had aged a lot in an instant, and what he had always wanted to hide was not concealed in the end.
Xiao Qian followed behind Xiao Yuanshan and walked into the Xiao family's mansion, this was the first time he had entered the Xiao family in twenty years, although he had watched from a distance before, but he had never really entered.
The conversation of several people outside the door was clearly heard inside, and no one thought that the traitor that everyone talked about every day was not a fact, but another hidden story.
In the strange eyes of everyone, Xiao Qian followed Xiao Yuanshan towards the ancestral hall, which was the forbidden place of the Xiao family, which usually had a strong seal, and without the emperor level, he would definitely not be able to step into the seal.
After Xiao Qian saw the seal, he was also very surprised, this aura was stronger than the power of space he exerted, and the blockade of space was even tighter, even if he wanted to enter alone, it would take a lot of effort.
From the outside world, this is just an ordinary ancestral hall, and there is nothing unusual, but Xiao Qian feels in his heart that there is definitely a big secret hidden here.
"This is it, and what I'm talking about is here. Sword Spirit said eagerly, it was the first time Xiao Qian was so excited to see Sword Spirit, and he couldn't even hide his mood.
On the one hand, it was the secret of the Xiao family, and on the other hand, it was the reaction of the sword spirit, which made Xiao Qian even more curious about that unknown history.
Xiao Yuanshan took out a piece of ancient jade pendant and put it on the seal, and the super strong seal quickly dissolved and disappeared, as if it was reacting with the energy on the ancient jade.
"Come in, the answer you want to know is there. Xiao Yuanshan walked towards the door, and Xiao Qian followed unhurriedly.
After entering it, the seal condensed down again, and Xiao Qian could sense that it was like a formation, automatically absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, supplementing the strength of the seal, so no matter how long it was, the seal would not weaken in the slightest.
The person who wanted to set up the seal at the beginning must be a person with great magical powers, and it is not easy to set it up with this formation alone.
In the ancestral hall, there are tablets of the ancestors of the Xiao family, but in front of the tablet, there is actually a coffin, from which powerful soul power fluctuations continue to be transmitted.
"The soul inside is alive. Xiao Qian thought in horror in his heart.
If it weren't for a living soul, it would be impossible to emit such a fluctuation, so he could tell that the soul itself was still alive, regardless of whether the soul in it had a body or not.
"How could it be him, how could he still be in the world. The dark shadow in Xiao Qian's small world suddenly became restless, and his reaction seemed to be like knowing the soul in the crown.
Now Xiao Qian didn't have the heart to think about it so much, what was the reason for the strange reaction of the black shadow, so he could only put it aside for the time being, and first figure out the situation in front of him.
"You must think there's a living soul in there, and I thought the same thing you did when I first saw it. Xiao Yuanshan looked at Xiao Qian and said, from Xiao Gan's expression, he could feel Xiao Gan's shock.
"Isn't the soul inside alive?" Xiao Qian said puzzledly, it was impossible for the deceased soul to have such a powerful soul power released, this was not logical at all.
Xiao Yuanshan explained: "The soul in this is indeed dead, but I don't know what method the ancestor used to retain this broken soul mark and wait for the successor. ”
"The soul mark turned out to be the soul mark, and it was wonderful that the old master kept his soul mark before it disappeared. The sword spirit said excitedly to Xiao Qian.
The old master who the sword spirit has been following is no one else, it is the Yellow Emperor who Xiao Qian is familiar with, he never expected that in the ancestral hall of the Xiao family, the soul mark of the Yellow Emperor was sealed, he never thought about it.
"Grandpa, does this soul mark have anything to do with our Xiao family?" Xiao Qian couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yuanshan looked at the spirit cards one by one and said, "It has a relationship, because the soul mark sealed in this is our ancestor's, and a long time ago, the Xiao family also had another surname, Ji." ”
Xiao Gan's heart was suddenly shocked, the surname Ji was undoubtedly the descendant of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, Xiao Qian now understood why the Blood Demon King would directly call himself Ji Xuanyuan when he saw him for the first time, it turned out that his body was flowing with the blood of the Yellow Emperor.
It's just that he still has doubts in his heart, what does this soul mark have to do with his father's expulsion from the family, and what does it have to do with his inability to step into the Xiao family.
"Do you know what a soul mark is?" Xiao Yuanshan said as he looked at Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian shook his head, this term was also the first time he had heard of it, and he had never heard of it before, the dead could still preserve their soul power, which was completely impossible in his opinion.
Xiao Yuanshan continued: "The so-called soul mark is to preserve one's soul power before the soul is about to disappear, forcibly forming a prohibition in the depths of the soul, which can be inherited by future generations. ”
This kind of unbelievable statement, Xiao Qian heard it for the first time, if someone can inherit the soul power of the Yellow Emperor, how powerful it will be, this is something that no one can imagine.
But at least a thousand years have passed since the fall of the Yellow Emperor, but the soul of the Yellow Emperor is still sealed, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
It is definitely not so easy to inherit this soul mark, otherwise it would not be possible to wait for a suitable successor until today.
"Do you know who is enshrined here?" Xiao Yuanshan seemed to fall into a deep memory, and his eyes revealed a sense of loss.
"Are the ancestors of the Xiao family? Looking at this number, it should be the patriarch of each generation. Xiao Qian guessed and said, he didn't understand why Xiao Yuanshan asked himself such a question, but Xiao Yuanshan's answer next surprised Xiao Gan.
"No, all of the people enshrined here are victims who have inherited the soul mark for generations. Xiao Yuanshan said sadly, on the last tablet, it was his father.
"How could it be like this? Is it still risky to inherit a soul mark?" Xiao Qian said in confusion, this news was too shocking for him, he never thought that it would be such a result.
The sword spirit was very touched by what Xiao Yuanshan said, he explained: "The soul power of the old master is extremely strong, not something that ordinary people can bear, if the inheritor can't meet the requirements, he will only be shattered in his soul, and then his body will fall, I think your ancestors should have fallen like this." ”
Looking at Xiao Gan's reaction, Xiao Yuanshan tried not to recall those things, and continued: "Every once in a while, the soul mark will have an abnormal reaction, that is, when the inheritor appears, he has been labeled as an inheritor since birth, waiting to break through the king realm to inherit the soul power at any time. ”
"The penultimate time was when your father was born, and when he broke through to the king, I casually found a crime and defined him as a traitor, so that he could escape such a curse without fear of suffering. ”
Xiao Yuanshan had a wry smile on his face, as a father and a patriarch at the same time, he had to take care of the transformation between the two identities, and he couldn't have any excessive favoritism.
Now that I think about it, he is the one who has suffered the most when he has been separated from his relatives over the years, if he is not afraid of Xiao Jing's safety, Xiao Yuanshan has absolutely no pickiness about this outstanding son, but the relationship of fate makes him have no choice but to bear the pain silently.
"The last time I reacted, I guess was when I showed up. Xiao Qian muttered, he really understood now why his grandmother told him not to return to the Xiao family for the rest of his life.
It turned out that the truth he had been pursuing turned out to be like this, and the reason why his father didn't mention it was probably because he knew the reason early, so he had no complaints over the years, wandering alone outside, everything was due to fate.
The responsibility that the father did not bear fell on the son, and now that Xiao Qian has learned all this, it is impossible to act as if nothing has happened.
"Grandpa, forgive your grandson for his unfilial piety, and without knowing it, he said so many rebellious things. Xiao Qian knelt on the ground with a thud, and if he imagined it now, he could know how tormented Xiao Yuanshan's heart was.
After spending so many years in self-blame, Xiao Yuanshan has long been accustomed to being at a loss, he helped Xiao Qian up from the ground and said: "You are the pride of our Xiao family, you can have such an achievement at a young age, so that your face as a grandfather also shines." ”
This sentence was Xiao Yuanshan's heart, when he saw Xiao Qian appear, Xiao Yuanshan was indeed very shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Qian to grow so fast.
