Jin Jue did not hide anything and told the truth. He was indeed the one who sent people to follow Tang Shi.
Yanxu asked him for a reasonable reason, otherwise this matter would not be easy to pass.
Jin Jue couldn't explain too much. He only said that when Tang Shi came back, the matter would be explained clearly. So after Yanxu received the notice from the awakening soldiers guarding the city in the evening, he called Jin Jue and told him, Tang Shi is back. Jin Jue then rushed over with his father and elder brother who had been waiting for several days. This was what Tang Shi saw when he entered.
Neither Tang Shi nor Yan Xu expected that the other party would ask about the Mei family's affairs. They were very careful about the Mei family's affairs. If they were not careful, this matter would be related to the Mei family's treasure. Once it was involved, Tang Shi's system is very likely to be exposed, because they can't guarantee that no one will know the secret of the Mei family's treasure.
"I am not a descendant of the Mei family. My surname is Tang, not Mei." Tang Shi gave this answer.
Jin Zhuoran understood clearly and knew that Tang Shi was on guard against him, so he had no choice but to say: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm. Our Jin family has been looking for the descendants of the Mei family since the end of the world. It was only now that we found the descendants of the Mei family." The scope has been narrowed down to you, I just want to confirm whether you are a descendant of the Mei family, this matter is very important."
Tang Shi was a little hesitant, "I am indeed not a descendant of the Mei family. My grandfather is the Mei Fu, so he should be considered a member of the Mei family. As for me, I should only be considered a person with half the blood of the Mei family."
Hearing this answer, Jin Zhuoran breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid of being disappointed again. They had been looking for the descendants of the Mei family for almost three years. Many times, they thought it was too late and that the descendants of the Mei family had already died. , if that is the case, then they have no hope anymore.
"Then do you know the Mei family's treasure?" Jin Zhuoran continued to ask.
When Tang Shi and Yan Xu heard this question, their eyes darkened.
Tang Shi said: "I don't know."
Jin Zhuoran smiled. It was a happy smile. The reactions of Tang Shi and Yan Xu just now did not escape Jin Zhuoran's sight. He was already sure that Tang Shi knew what the Mei family's treasure was, but he was just on the safe side. He would not admit to others that the Mei family's treasure was on his person.
Jin Zhuoran could finally rest assured that the Jin family's search for so long was finally not in vain, and they were finally found.
"I would like to ask, has the 'Mei Family Treasure' been activated?" Jin Zhuoran spoke again.
Tang Shi's pupils shrank, his muscles tightened, and his murderous aura was released. The person who had the same reaction as him was Yanxu, who also had murderous thoughts.
Only then did Jin Zhuoran truly confirm Tang Shi's identity. He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Tang Shi. Jin Yu stood up and followed his father's movements. Only Jin Jue still looked confused, but he also stood up. , imitating his father and elder brother, bowing respectfully.
Tang Shi and Yan Xu both stood up, wondering what they were doing.
"Sir, our Jin family is your guardian. After the end of the world, after we have Yuan Neng, the Jin family's heirloom is activated. According to the 'inheritance law' in the heirloom, the Jin family will be the descendants of the Mei family from generation to generation. Guardians, from ancient times until today.”
Tang Shi's eyes widened and he couldn't react, what was going on.
"You... you..."
Jin Zhuoran straightened up and looked at Tang Shi, "Sorry, we are late. After the 'Inheritance Order' was activated, we checked the map and searched according to the location mentioned in the inheritance order. It took a lot of effort to find Lin. Chengmei Town, but when my eldest son Jin Yu found Meizhen, it had become a scorched earth and there was no living person. Jin Yu found the ancient tomb of the Mei family in Meizhen, but the tomb was also After it was destroyed, it was confirmed that the Mei family that our Jin family wants to protect is the Mei family in Lincheng Mei Town."
"After that, we have been sending people around to look for your whereabouts. However, we thought differently. We originally thought that the descendants of the Mei family should be named Mei. In the past three years, we have searched almost all the people with the surname Mei. We just haven't found the person we really want to protect. Not long ago, the second son Jin Jue discovered a person named Mei Hanxing. His identity information was very consistent with the person we were looking for. I came over personally. I also met Mei Hanxing. Unfortunately, after my testing, he was not the person I was looking for. However, he also had the blood of the Mei family in his body. Unfortunately, he was not the eldest grandson of the eldest son. From him, I learned about the elder of the Mei family. The first head of the family, named Mei Fu, had an only daughter and no sons, so he had no eldest grandson, but I know that the child of the only daughter of the head of the Mei Fu family must be the person I am looking for."
Tang Shi, who had been listening silently, interrupted at this time, "Why are you so sure?"
"As stated in the inheritance law, the position of the head of the Mei family will only be passed down to the eldest grandson from generation to generation. Once the head of the family is established, all branches of the Mei family will be expelled and will never be allowed to enter the place where the head of the family is. Moreover, the Mei family The lineage of the head of the family must guard the ancestral graves of the Mei family for generations and is not allowed to leave. The lineage of Mei Hanxing should be the branch of the Mei family that was expelled from Mei Town. Let us go through such a big circle. The inheritance law only mentions the orthodox bloodline of the Mei family. It is only passed down to the eldest grandson of the eldest family member, so we were busy looking for descendants with the Mei family name. We never expected that even with a foreign surname, as long as the eldest son or daughter is the bloodline of the head of the family, they can inherit the Mei family's orthodox bloodline."
Tang Shi listened expressionlessly, "How can you tell whether you are the legitimate bloodline of the Mei family?"
"As stated in the inheritance law, only descendants of the Mei family's orthodox bloodline can inherit the Mei family's treasures."
"What does the inheritance law say about the Mei family's treasure?" Tang Shi said.
"That's not true, but it does tell you how to activate the Mei family's treasure."
"What method?" Although Tang Shi had already activated it, he still wanted to know what the real activation method was.
"Use the blood of the Mei family to open it, and then use enough energy to activate it." Jin Zhuoran made no secret of this.
Well…
Opening it with the blood of the Mei family, Tang Shi knew this, and activated it with sufficient Yuan energy. Tang Shi had never tried it. He was completely gambling with his life, irrigated with blood, and forced the system out. Now that he thinks about it, the system is actually also Are you afraid that he will die? Otherwise, it would not be activated directly without the original energy.
No matter which method is used, as long as the goal is achieved.
Yanxu listened with a serious expression. After Jin Zhuoran finished speaking, Yanxu looked at Jin Jue, "Is this the reason why you sent people to follow Tang Shi?"
After Tang Shi heard that the Jin family was his guardian, he didn't feel anything, but Yanxu said that Jin Jue sent people to follow him, which made him strange, and he looked at Jin Jue.
Jin Jue was afraid that Tang Shi would lose his previous trust in him because of this incident. Just as he was about to explain, Jin Zhuoran spoke up, "I asked Jin Jue to do this. In order to confirm the identity of the master as soon as possible, I Let Jin Jue send people to keep an eye on Mei Hanxing and the Lord, hoping to find out the true location of the descendants of the Mei family as soon as possible."
Tang Shi took a deep look at Jin Jue and already understood what was going on. Since they had doubts about Mei Hanxing first, Jin Zhuoran was very sure that Mei Hanxing knew where the real descendants of the Mei family were. And at that time, he asked Jin Jue to check Mei Hanxing's information, plus he and Mei Hanxing From the two meetings with Han Xing, the Jin family must have already suspected that he was a descendant of the Mei family, and coming here now was just to confirm.
Tang Shi did not blame Jin Jue for this matter. After all, Jin Jue only sent people to follow him and did not do anything to harm him. It was just a small trick that was done secretly. Tang Shi was still a little unhappy, especially because he was someone he trusted. people.
"Next time if you have anything, you can ask me directly. Don't do these unnecessary things." Tang Shi looked unhappy, and Jin Jue certainly noticed it.
"Yes, there will be no next time." Jin Jue replied hurriedly.
After listening to what Jin Zhuoran said, Tang Shi didn't have any superfluous feelings except being curious about the "inheritance laws" of the Jin family. Although he claims to be surnamed Tang to the outside world, only he knows that he has always regarded himself as a member of the Mei family. His grandfather raised him since he was a child, and the Tang family was so ruthless to him. It was natural for Tang Shi not to miss the Tang family.
"Even if I am a descendant of the Mei family, why did you go through so much trouble to find me?" Tang Shi didn't think he needed a guardian. In this era, the strong were respected, and everything was based on strength. Let a Tang Shi felt that it was completely unnecessary for his family to be his guardian.
"I don't know when the Jin family's 'Inheritance Order' began to be passed down. From generation to generation, it is treated as a family heirloom and handed over to the family head for safekeeping. And every old family head will verbally explain it when passing it on to the new family head: Open it when the world is undergoing great changes. My father also said the same thing when he handed the family heirloom to me. This has become something that almost every family head must confess. It’s just that no one knows what exactly is called a ‘world’s great change’. It was not until the end of the world that we realized that the 'great changes in the world' had already begun. As the inheritance laws say, the descendants of the Mei family are the masters that our Jin family should follow. The Jin family must spare no effort to protect the descendants of the Mei family. This is related to the life and death of the entire human race."
Tang Shi and Yan Xu both thought, "What does this have to do with the survival of the human race?"
"The Law of Inheritance states that after the great changes in the world, the human race will suffer catastrophe. Only the descendants of the Mei family have hope to resolve this disaster." Jin Zhuoran actually didn't understand one thing, but the "Law of Inheritance" said this All descendants of the Jin family must abide by this.
Tang Shi and Yanxu both began to think deeply. After a while, they looked at each other. Jin Zhuoran's words reminded them of what Asa had said. There would definitely be a war between the human race and the hundreds of ancient races. Could it be that "the end of annihilation" "Disaster" is this
Tang Shi thought for a while and asked, "Can I see your 'Law of Inheritance'?"
