After following Wen Lanzhi back to the Wen family, Wen Jingming was immediately placed in solitary confinement.
Seeing him walking into the secret room reluctantly, Chu Qing, an outsider, was too embarrassed to say anything.
On the other hand, Wen Jingming looked upright and waved vigorously at him.
"Don't worry, brother, I will come out sooner or later, and I will be a good man again."
Before he could flip his hair coolly, his eldest sister Wen Lan kicked him to the wall. "If you try to show off to me again, I'll lock you up for ten more days. I really don't know how high the world is."
In the empty hall, there were only two people, Chu Qing and Wen Lanzhi. The only connection between them was Wen Jingming, who has now been sent away.
"Want to ask me about the secret realm?"
Wen Lanzhi shook his head and did not respond to him as Chu Qing imagined.
"The Wen family is in a critical situation right now. I'll take you somewhere."
She twisted her waist and walked in front of her. Chu Qing followed her in confusion. The two of them walked to the depths of the hall. Facing a heavy and patterned door, Wen Lan pinched out a door in the palm of his hand. Determined, Chu Qing saw a golden light flash before his eyes, and then disappeared.
"go in."
Wen Lanzhi's voice came with a hint of unnoticeable trembling. Her body was trembling and her teeth were clenching. Chu Qing had never seen her like this before.
"What happened to the Wen family? Why didn't you speak up?"
His questions came to an abrupt end. After seeing the huge thing hidden inside the door, his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by an invisible big hand.
What appeared in front of Chu Qing's eyes was a towering ancient tree with intertwined roots. Its branches were densely packed, like a honeycomb, and the chaos gave people a special sense of beauty.
The roots of the tree are deeply rooted in the ground, as if it is absorbing nutrients from the ground. For such a big tree, Chu Qing can't imagine what it will be like when it rises from the ground.
"This is the ten thousand-year-old poisonous tree of our Wen family," Wen Lanzhi's voice came faintly, and her sharp and bright eyes suddenly dimmed as she told Chu Qing the secret of the Wen family's decline.
"The four major families have declined to some extent over the years. Among them, the Wen family has suffered the most. It has almost repeated the same mistakes as the Yu family. The root cause of everything is the fate of this poisonous tree."
Hearing these two words, Chu Qing's heart moved slightly. He couldn't help but want to step forward and touch the roots of the poisonous tree exposed on the ground. When he walked forward, he was poured with resin falling from the sky.
"Now the poisonous tree has lost its spirituality and often cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The Wen family is divided into two factions. One faction advocates eradicating the poisonous tree as early as possible, while the other faction wants to keep the poisonous tree. Wen Jingming and I are the latter."
Chu Qing was suddenly attacked, and the protective aura suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, but for some unknown reason, it was suddenly withdrawn.
Hearing that it was a poisonous tree, Chu Qing thought the resin it secreted was poisonous, but he didn't expect that there was a scent on his body.
"Does this poisonous tree often secrete resin? Do you think this is happening to me?"
He looked at the object in his hand with some embarrassment to Wen Lanzhi. The light yellow resin gradually took shape in Chu Qing's hand, making an indescribable squirming sound.
"This is the poisonous body of the poisonous tree!"
It was only then that Chu Qing remembered the inheritance he had received from Kong Sheng, and his heart couldn't help but move. He recited the mental formula in his mouth, and the "poisonous body" in the palm of his hand became more and more cheerful.
"Are you born with a poisonous body?"
Wen Lanzhi's eyes instantly became as excited as if he had discovered a treasure. Chu Qing saw this and moved back, feeling like someone was fighting for his own good.
"The innate poisonous body can save your Wen family. Let me tell you the conditions first. What do you need me to do?"
