City of Gods!
Duanmu's house!
The incident of killing the crown prince that made a big fuss during the day has made the entire Yuhua Dynasty nervous.
Everyone in the city was busy collecting corpses, cleaning up ashes, and cleaning the battlefield.
At night, it comes to an end.
The ordinary people were asleep, but the Duanmu family, a large family in the city of God, was brightly lit.
When Siya's husband came back, he was called over by his ancestors.
There is an ancestor of the Duanmu family who has lived for who knows how many years and has not died after countless years. Every generation of the Duanmu family has to receive guidance from this ancestor for a period of time.
The next generation head of the family, Siya's husband Duan Muyue, can be said to have grown up beside the ancestor since childhood.
In Duanmuyue's view, the ancestor has vast knowledge, long-term experience, and superb cultivation. He is the biggest trump card of the entire Duanmu family.
Zhila!
Duanmuyue pushed away the ancestor's cabin.
Simple decoration, with a bookshelf in the center, the wooden house is very exquisite, not big or small, suitable for a family to live in, but with only one old man living in it, it seems a bit lonely.
Duanmuyue knew that some old people didn't like loneliness and wanted to live in a house full of children and grandchildren.
His ancestor was different. The ancestor liked to be alone.
There is a stone wall in the wooden house. There is a fireplace where you can light a fire. There is a rocking chair in front of the fireplace. On the rocking chair, there is an old man covered with a blanket and lying quietly.
In the fireplace, the fire was still burning brightly.
The old man is not too old. Compared with those who are dying, he looks a bit young.
But the youthfulness on the outside cannot hide the decay on the inside.
Duan Muyue pushed the door open and stood at the door for a quarter of an hour without moving, just staring at her ancestor.
The ancestor was motionless, lying in the rocking chair, covered with a white blanket, breathing very weakly, like a corpse.
Duanmu Yue suddenly felt a sore nose. He didn't know why, but he wanted to cry.
Duanmu Yue was brought up by his ancestors from childhood to adulthood. His parents died fighting for the family. Duanmu Yue was valued by his ancestors when he was only three years old. He took her with him, trained him carefully, and designated Duanmu Yue as the next leader of the Duanmu family. The head of the house.
This is also the reason why Duan Muyue is different from other children of aristocratic families. He was personally trained by his ancestor.
The ancestor is the closest person to him in his heart.
In fact, even his wife was appointed by his ancestor, and he also said that Siya would help him and make him a couple for the rest of his life.
Duan Muyue never dared to forget his ancestor's advice, so he married Siya. He never played tricks or took concubines. The couple loved each other and gave birth to a son.
Duanmuyue was kicked out by his ancestor when he became an adult, but he would come back to visit every once in a while.
He watched with his own eyes as his ancestor became quieter and quieter, and became older and older.
It does not refer to the appearance of the ancestor, but to the inside, the temperament, and even the heart.
The ancestor’s deadline has come!
This is a fact that Duan Muyue is unwilling and dare not think about.
But reason told him that this was true.
Duan Muyue walked over slowly, reached out and put a piece of firewood in the fireplace, and then looked at the ancestor with an expression of admiration.
In his heart, the ancestor is the biggest hero in the world.
"Duanmuyue, you're here." The ancestor slowly opened his eyes, saw Duanmuyue smiling leisurely, and said in a calm tone.
"Ancestor, I disturbed your sweet dream." Duan Muyue apologized.
"I just had a sweet dream." The ancestor smiled.
Duanmuyue said softly: "Old Ancestor, would you like to share it with me?"
"I dreamed about when I was young. At that time, I was as handsome and ambitious as you. I wanted to compete with God." The ancestor said slowly.
"Ancestor is also very powerful now." Duan Muyue said from the bottom of her heart.
"No, I'm getting older, and my end has come." The ancestor smiled and waved his hands, telling the truth that made Duan Muyue's heart sink.
"How could it be? Ancestor still has a long time to live." Duan Muyue said softly.
"You are such a cute kid. Do you know how old I am this year?" asked the ancestor.
Duanmu Yue shook his head, he really didn't know.
"I seem to be... thirty thousand years old." The ancestor said softly.
Duanmuyue looked at the ancestor in surprise, thirty thousand years old
"Surprised?" The ancestor smiled.
"Well, according to what I know, even if you take the legendary thirty-three steps, you won't live to be thirty thousand years old, right?" Duan Muyue hesitated.
"If you don't live to be alive, early 20,000 years is considered very good. The cultivation techniques and health maintenance can last for eighteen hundred years. If you can't live to be thirty thousand years old." The ancestor shook his head and said.
"Then how did the ancestor live for such a long time?" Duan Muyue suppressed the sadness in her heart and asked curiously.
"Do you see the tree outside the window?" The ancestor pointed out his hand.
Duan Muyue immediately looked at it. He was familiar with this tree. He had often played under the tree when he was a child.
This is a black tree with no branches, just like a piece of wood, standing here for who knows how long.
"This is the soul-nurturing tree. It has been nourishing my soul and body, allowing me to continue to live." The ancestor said lightly, looking at the soul-nurturing tree with a myriad of thoughts.
"Soul-nurturing tree?" Duan Muyue asked in surprise.
"Where did you get it?" Duanmu Yue asked.
"Let me tell you a story." The ancestor said happily.
Duanmuyue listened attentively.
"Thirty thousand years ago, there were two young people with outstanding talents and passion who wanted to make a career."
"So they rebelled!"
"Lead the oppressed people in the world to rebel!"
"The two young men succeeded in the end, but there was a gap at the last moment because of the throne."
"In the end, he won. He became the emperor. I founded the Duanmu family and settled in the capital of God."
The ancestor spoke eloquently and told his own deeds.
Duanmuyue listened silently.
"But after he became the emperor, his suspicion became more and more serious, and he always wanted to get rid of my Duanmu family. If I hadn't been here, the Duanmu family would have been gone long ago." The ancestor said calmly.
"That person is Taizong, the founder of the Yuhua Dynasty, right?" Duan Muyue asked.
"It's him, you know? He's not dead yet." The ancestor said calmly.
"What?" Duan Muyue looked at it in surprise.
"The ancestor used soul-nurturing wood to nourish himself until now, so what did Taizong use?" Duan Muyue asked.
"I don't know, but it's very likely that it comes from the same place as my soul-raising tree." The ancestor sighed softly.
"Where?" Duanmu Yue asked curiously.
The ancestor was about to answer, but the deadline had come anyway, so there was nothing he could say.
But at this time, bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.
The ancestor was stunned and looked behind the door. He looked through everything and saw a familiar thing. He fell silent and said: "Go and open the door for the messenger!"
"Messenger, where did the messenger come from?" Duanmu Yue was confused, but she still went to open the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a strong man holding a blood-red pocket watch and looking at the ancestor.
The blood-red pocket watch was still ticking.
