The door to the secret room opened.
The first ray of sky light penetrated through thousands of layers of white clouds and fell into it, illuminating the empty secret room.
Su Shun felt something in his heart and couldn't help but cast his eyes on the gap in the door.
squeak…
The door is open.
The extremely beautiful and goddess-like woman walked out with her bare feet. There was a confident smile between her eyebrows, which made her already beautiful face even more lustrous.
The man next to the woman has two knives, one black and one white, hanging on his waist. He is carefree and unrestrained, showing an unruly attitude of drunken singing and not being restrained by the world.
The two of them walking together made people feel ashamed.
Su Shun knew this was a secret room,
I also know who is in the secret room,
But he didn't know why this shadow could be so happy.
Su Yueqing did not close the door. Instead, she pushed the door open in front of the charioteer and said calmly: "Go and see."
Su Shun was stunned for a moment, but still walked forward.
His pupils suddenly tightened, and there was no one in the secret room anymore! !
He turned around suddenly and stared at Su Yueqing.
Su Yueqing smiled and said, "As you think."
Su Shun's face was full of disbelief, and then his eyes showed a look of fear. His feet were like lead and sank to the spot, unable to move. Sweat was oozing from his forehead. He could not accept it and did not know how to face the current situation. , he stood there blankly.
Su Yueqing suddenly asked: "You have been with me for six years, right?"
"yes… "
Su Yueqing reminded softly: "In everyone's eyes, you are my confidant, right?"
Su Shun thought for a while and had to admit: "Yes..."
Su Yueqing turned around, and the silver gauze created a beautiful halo, especially the snow-white feet stepping on the cold ground, which made it almost impossible to look away.
After settling down, she asked again: "Su Shun, who is the most beautiful woman in the Su family?"
Su Shun said calmly: "It's the eldest princess."
Su Yueqing asked again: "Who is the eldest princess?"
"It's you."
"Then why are you still standing there? Take out the directory."
"What directory?" Su Shun did not respond.
Su Yueqing said: "If there is no list, just write it down. It is better to make more guesses than to miss anyone. Write down anyone who may be detrimental to me."
Su Shun already understood the situation he was facing,
To be the charioteer of a future family head? And he is also the irreplaceable master of the family.
Or will he be silenced now, or will be killed by other members of the family later, or will he escape by chance and become an ordinary Su family member
Very simple multiple choice question.
Su Shun quietly grabbed a leather scroll from the storage space with extremely trembling hands...
From this moment on, it was impossible for him to betray the woman in front of him again.
Su Yueqing took the scroll and waved her hand, "It's not good to be less magnanimous when encountering big things. What should you do if someone sees what you are thinking? Go and calm down. All you need to know is that you were the eldest princess's charioteer in the past, and you will still be in the future. ,Will suffice.
You have always been loyal to me, and I understand that if someone deceives you in the future by saying, "I will kill you," you should know deep down in your heart that I will not touch you. The person who deceives you like this is the one who wants to harm you. Can you understand? "
Su Shun was filled with emotion. The shadow in front of him looked more like the eldest princess than the eldest princess. He said respectfully, "I understand."
After saying that, he stepped aside. When encountering this kind of thing, he really needed to adjust his mentality to avoid exposing his flaws.
Su Yueqing opened the directory and looked at Xia Ji: "There are seven people in total."
Xia Jidao: "It's not convenient to kill in the Su family."
"I know that if one of the Su family's children dies, they will investigate thoroughly."
"But I am the emperor's master, and I will leave the Su family."
Xia Ji suddenly smiled.
Su Yueqing already understood what he meant.
This is the third time we have a connection.
Su Yueqing sighed: "I really don't know why you can understand my thoughts, I have always lived in a very depressive world...
She can kill me with just one thought,
The game between Ice Emperor and me was also startling every step of the way.
I tried my best to play her, the most beautiful woman of the Su family, without making any mistakes or letting anyone see any flaws, not even the emperor.
I look in the mirror every day before going to bed, wondering if I will be alive again tomorrow.
I've read your information. You live in seclusion in the mountains. You came out of the mountains only after your father died. You get drunk and sing wildly, and you fight fiercely in front of the sword. You are arrogant.
Your world and mine have never been similar, but why can you understand me? "
Xia Ji smiled: "Maybe, this is a friend."
Su Yueqing wanted to hit someone.
So, she raised her hand and hit the boy's arm like a kitten, then hugged his arm, pressed her cheek against it, and whispered softly: "Yes, friend."
Xia Ji wanted to break free, but she was holding on tightly.
"Just a moment."
Xia Ji didn't agree and moved his arm again. Su Yueqing held it tighter, "It'll be fine in a little while."
She pressed against that warm arm,
in space,
There were two or three quiet breaths.
Su Yueqing let go and said: "In the afternoon, I will take you to the fourth heaven to enter the family tree, and then I will see if there is a chance for you to meet the ancestor.
However, Bei Nan, please promise me not to be impulsive. The water in the Su family is extremely deep and the scope of involvement is extremely wide. Once you move, you will never be able to look back. "
Xia Ji said: "You are overthinking. As a descendant of the Su family, I sincerely want to see my ancestor."
Su Yueqing looked at him with a smile, then nodded with a smile, as if she really believed what he said, so she stopped asking further questions.
…
…
Afternoon.
Nine black dragons pulled the luxurious flying chariot through the third heaven and entered a narrow airway with dense "space gaps" on both sides.
There are more space gaps here,
Black and continuous "lightning" stretches across the sky,
The strong suction force drove up strong winds, which seemed to lift up the sky and sweep everything towards the "black lightning".
Even the undulating mountains on the ground were suddenly rolled out into a huge hole.
The empty road is like a maze,
The black dragons turned into timid little snakes, pulling the cart carefully and slowly,
Su Shun, on the other hand, kept turning left and right while driving the chariot.
In this way, about an hour passed,
The flying chariot just left the empty road.
Xia Ji silently memorized the route of this empty road. He had to admit that if he didn't know this route and just relied on himself to explore, he might accidentally be swept away by the gap in the space. At that time, no matter what you do, No matter how talented you are, it doesn't matter.
Out of the empty road,
The fourth heaven appeared before our eyes,
What you enter is an extremely majestic palace.
However, Xia Ji felt that the space here was obviously much smaller than the second and third heavens. He turned his head and could vaguely see a "strange boundary", giving him a feeling that "nothing existed" Feel.
"That is a world of nothingness." Su Yueqing said, "A world in which nothing can exist is also the edge of space. Fortunately, the world of nothingness is very stable and will hardly change.
You put a stone on the border of nothingness. A hundred years later, the stone will still be there, but if you push the stone forward a little, the stone will be chewed away by nothingness. "
Xia Ji asked: "Is the fifth heaven even smaller?"
Su Yueqing: "Maybe... the ceremony to enter the family tree is in the front hall."
The chariot stopped at the bottom of the hall,
The two of them climbed up the cold cloud stairs.
The high-altitude icy wind swept over,
Then he swept away quickly,
The black dragon gradually became smaller and became the size of a finger.
The two of them have also entered the main hall.
In the palace are the Lord of the Heavenly Royal Family, the Ice Emperor, three elders who hold the title of king but are powerful, and eight heavenly ministers.
The eldest princess took her seat naturally,
Xia Ji continued to walk forward,
He is a true member of the Su family, and it is right to be included in the family tree like this.
And Su Yueqing had already told him what "genealogy" was.
He was deeply impressed,
Because this "genealogy" is completely different from what he imagined,
And this is the big secret of the Su family.
There are two genealogies,
The first one is called "The Genealogy of Disciples", and it is this genealogy that Xia Ji entered.
The second book is called "Genealogy of Gods". This one cannot be written into, but is entered through other unknown methods.
It is said that the children who enter the first family tree can use their natal blood to draw the names of the corresponding gods on the "God Tree" in a special way to call the family gods and help kill enemies.
This is a bit like a Taoist talisman.
But the difference is that the talisman borrowed part of its power.
And summoning the family gods is the real god.
It's like "big brand VIP" and "small brand special order"...
However, now this "Book of Gods" cannot be used, nor can any family gods be summoned.
Su Yueqing tried it out, and the answer she got was "the time has not come yet."
so,
Being included in the genealogy is not just an identity recognition.
extension of authority,
It is also an invisible power-giving.
Xia Ji watched a big golden book floating in the air.
The golden light rose like smoke, causing the entire book to burn.
In the hall, the emperor, four kings and eight princes were all extremely quiet.
The head of the family held a large golden pen in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Blood."
Xia Ji was informed of the rules early and knew that this was a normal process. If there were traps, they were traps for the entire Su family. Naturally, he would not give up because of being too cautious.
Chi…
A drop of blood shot out from his finger and smoothly crossed a distance of tens of feet.
The owner of the house raised his hand,
The tip of the pen drew the blood, but it was not stained.
Then he pressed into the flame of the golden book.
Xia Ji looked at the book quietly, trying to see its contents.
But the composition of this golden light is unknown, and it is extremely difficult to penetrate.
Xia Ji stared intently. He was now in the eleventh realm, and his power in the spiritual world was far beyond that of others...
After a long time, the head of the family had finished entering his name.
A strange feeling rose from the bottom of Xia Ji's heart,
However, at this moment, the light dimmed in his eyes,
With just one click, the whole book closed.
However, at that moment, Xia Ji had already seen something.
He saw a family tree.
from top to bottom,
There are hundreds of lines.
All the names included in the score are there,
It's just divided into three colors: gold, black, and red.
Gold gathers on it,
Red is densely packed across almost half of the family tree.
And black, only in the bottom few lines...
However, what impressed Xia Ji the most was that the only name in the first line was black.
He quickly made an estimate in his mind:
If we count three generations in one hundred years,
Gold counts as gods, red represents death, and black represents survival.
Then those golden names on top should be family gods from the late ancient times.
The red ones in the middle represent dead family members.
The black ones at the bottom are those who survived.
but…
What makes Xia extremely creepy...
There are not so many ancestors who died in large numbers, nor are they ancestors who have become powerful family gods for people to call upon.
But two things:
First, why is the name at the top black
Secondly, apart from the first name, almost no one else has lived for more than 500 years
An ancestor who may have lived ten thousand years ago, and a group of tribesmen born ten thousand years later, the time span in between is almost completely empty, which is too shocking.
…
Xia Ji entered the family tree, and everyone looked at him more friendly.
The master of the house dismissed the witnesses,
The ice kings and princes left one after another,
The eldest princess stood outside the palace gate.
The Ice Emperor passed her by without looking at anyone.
The other princes are all old guys, but these two are still young. The head of the family is either one or the other, and as long as they don't really climb up to the position of the head of the family, the battle will never end.
"Losing the position of Imperial Master" is not a complete failure for the Ice Emperor, but a headwind situation. Although his life is not long, he has also encountered headwind situations, so he calmly turned the page. , let’s play chess again.
In the palace,
The head of the house pointed to the seat not far away,
The two sat across from each other.
The head of the family then spoke slowly: "Feng Nanbei, although you were a member of the outside family before, now that you are in the family tree, you are my family.
But I won't force you to change your surname. If you are willing one day, you can change it to Su Nanbei.
What I have to talk to you about today is something big. "
Xia Ji said: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding. Please tell me."
The head of the family nodded and continued: "The ancestors once predicted that starting from three thousand years ago, there will be a killing disaster every five hundred years. After twelve killings and disasters, everything will slowly return to silence.
Now, our generation of the Su family has encountered the first of twelve murders. "
After finishing speaking, he paused and saw that there was no confusion in Xia Ji's eyes before continuing: "The ancestors once warned that this killing disaster is called the fire disaster. Fire comes from the west and can both destroy the world and destroy the world. Awakening the gods in the blood, so this is both a disaster and an opportunity.
In the catastrophe, as long as everyone deals with the demons and monsters produced by the fire tribulation, they will have the opportunity to gain a further possibility, which is the awakening of the bloodline.
The more you deal with it, the greater your awakening will be.
Our Su family's bloodline is the dragon vein. If we can really reach the ultimate level of the dragon vein, it is very likely that we will survive these five hundred years and then enter the next killing calamity. This opportunity has never happened in the previous three thousand years. This is a dangerous situation. The era is also an era of opportunities. "
Xia Ji listened quietly.
Fire disaster
Does that mean you are awakened by your bloodline after being exposed to fire
fire…
I wonder if there is any connection between the fire crow and this fire disaster
The head of the family suddenly said: "Bei Nan, with all due respect, your bloodline is of average quality, and it is almost impossible to grow into a true dragon. I hope you can understand this.
Sometimes, no matter how talented you are, you can't overcome some innate advantages. Rather than letting you know this later and feel regretful and painful, it is better to inform you in advance so that you can understand. "
Xia Ji thought to himself,
I don’t know if my twenty-four poems and eighteen hands of Dharmakaya bloodline are considered good
If you follow this level and learn all the Taoist secrets, will you get the third bloodline
After the head of the family finished speaking, he looked at the young man in front of him, but what he saw was not decadent and depressed, but a pair of calm eyes.
"Such a good nature!"
The head of the family couldn't help but praise and continued, "Shen Su, Wu, Zhou and Lu, our five great families want to control the world.
In the past three thousand years, it has been very easy. As long as you control the imperial power, the dignitaries of all parties, and some powerful forces, you can hide behind the scenes and manipulate the world secretly.
Because manpower is sometimes exhausted, individuals cannot fight against large armies, and many things such as mysterious formations and magical weapons are also controlled by my family, and I am not afraid of anyone.
Even if some individuals are really too powerful, we will define them as aliens and eliminate them. "
Xia Ji nodded,
I deeply believe that,
This is what he is talking about.
The head of the family continued: "However, due to the fire tribulation and the resurrection of the bloodline, the world's structure will begin to change, and as time goes by, the individual's power will be greatly improved.
And if someone can expand his bloodline to the extreme, he can live for five hundred years, live until the next killing tribulation, and then be promoted again in the next killing tribulation, and this will keep snowballing, getting stronger and stronger.
For our family, we can tolerate the weak among them, but we absolutely cannot tolerate the strong who can shake our rule.
This is the first killing calamity and the beginning of everything. The strong men missed during this period may become the terrifying figures who destroy our family a thousand years later.
For example... King Shenwu.
This boy is already defying the heavens. Before the fire disaster has come, his bloodline has been revived, which is simply unheard of.
Although this King Shenwu also has the blood of my Su family, what he awakened is not the dragon vein.
Moreover, he has unique ideas and is domineering. His sister only wants the world to be unified, and there is no way she can follow the same path as us. "
Xia Ji nodded,
The owner’s explanation is clear and easy to understand,
Let him understand why he was targeted in this way,
But he still looked suitably shocked.
"How is it possible? The fire calamity has not yet arrived, how can the blood of this Shenwu King have been revived?! This...impossible!"
The head of the family said: "This son is very powerful. It's normal for you to be so rude, but don't belittle yourself. You are only eighteen years old now, and you are far from being comparable to old men like us. In the future, as the new emperor's master, you may achieve more." high.
We old people can't leave the Su family. The new era belongs to you young people.
When the time comes... King Shenwu may be your number one enemy. "
Xia Ji nodded cautiously,
There was a hint of unruliness in his eyes,
"I will not be worse than anyone else."
The head of the family smiled and nodded: "I feel relieved to have you as the emperor's master and to helm this new dynasty that is the first to kill and rob.
But don't worry, you are not alone even if you are outside. Our Su family has your backing.
The other four major families will also intervene. We will each perform our duties. You only need to take care of the new king.
It is up to them to take care of the literary and military affairs, the Jianghu and the underground.
In this way, have you ever understood the general trend of the world? "
Xia Ji nodded, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
The head of the family said: "Yue Qing told me that you want to see the ancestor. I will take you to the entrance of the fifth heaven. If the ancestor wants to see you, it is your chance. If the ancestor does not want to see you, there is nothing you can do."
…
