In the deep mountains and old forests, the surrounding trees stretched out their thick branches like giants, blocking the sunlight and causing the entire Xin family's old house to be submerged in shadow.
The walls of the old house have long since faded away from their exterior paint, exposing the ancient masonry texture. The moss in the corner gradually spreads with the passage of time, showing the traces of time. The windows were tightly closed by wooden shutters, and the faint light coming from the gaps outlined the shadows, giving the impression that some shocking mystery was hidden.
But such a huge ancient house that looks deserted has an extremely deep atmosphere, as if a wild beast is imprisoned in it! Low whistles came from it...
In the ancestral hall, there were only a few candles lighting up the surroundings.
?The wind that filtered through the closed but somewhat shabby wooden windows caused the candlelight to sway from side to side, pulling Xin Hongyi and the old man's long shadows from side to side.
Hearing the ancestor’s words, Xin Hongyi’s face was slightly shaken.
"People above? Grandfather, what exactly are you talking about?"
Ever since she was born, the entire Xin family has been hidden in the world. We have never had any entanglements with outside forces, nor have we competed for resources.
At that time, Xin Hongyi believed that the resources of the Xin family were sufficient to be self-sufficient, and at the same time, she hoped that the younger generation could stabilize their minds and grow up quietly and low-key.
Now listening to the ancestor's words, Xin Hongyi suddenly felt a gray veil called "conspiracy" shrouding her heart.
Can’t open it, can’t see through it…
?The ancestor stood up slowly, holding his waist and crutches, and turned to look at Xin Hongyi, his tone full of twilight.
"The matter is very complicated. Let me briefly explain it to you first. The specific matter will be understood after I give you the initiation."
“But I want to know, Hongyi, can you give up everything for the Xin family?” At this point, the ancestor’s eyes were full of sharp light! Staring at Xin Hongyi closely like a pair of eagle eyes.
Xin Hongyi's body tensed up, but she did not hesitate. She nodded and said, "The Xin family has given me life, so naturally my life belongs to the Xin family."
What's more, being born in the Xin family, Xin Hongyi was also favored by her ancestors, parents and elders. Xin Hongyi has no reason to be prejudiced or unfamiliar with the Xin family.
Hearing this, the ancestor nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, let's talk about the origin of our Xin family first."
“We are actually not people in the mortal world.”
Xin Hongyi's face was shocked. She was born in the Xin family. Ancient books have already explained what the mortal world contains.
"Then let's..." Xin Hongyi asked blankly.
The ancestor said calmly: "The realm of evil spirits."
"Our ancestors made a big mistake. Although they kept their bloodline... they were also demoted to this wild land." The eyes of the ancestors were full of memories, and he sighed: "At the same time, they were demoted to this area. In fact, it was a conspiracy from the top, and we were a hidden chess piece."
"At that time, after the Evil Demon Realm was defeated and suppressed by the mortal world and the Immortal Realm, we lost contact." The ancestor said with emotion: "But, our Evil Demon Realm can shake the foundation of the mortal world and the Immortal Realm, doesn't it mean that we don't have some means? Hundreds of years passed after the suppression, and someone came to tell us about being a dark chess player."
Xin Hongyi's face was extremely stiff, her expression was shaken, and even her state of mind began to waver.
After all, although I never thought about it. But subconsciously, Xin Hongyi regarded herself as a member of the mortal world.
?But now he is told that he is not actually a human race, but a hostile race that stands on the opposite side of the human race and brings disaster to the mortal world?
No matter who it is, they will be shaken if they know such a large amount of information at once!
The ancestor glanced at Xin Hongyi and said, "I know you may not be able to accept it for a while, but I don't have time."
"When I was demoted to the Savage Realm, I once thought that this place was just a place where the inheritance was cut off and the monastic civilization was extremely backward. But after I was told, there was a period in the Savage Realm earlier than the ancient times. The most glorious period.”
"Two of the four ancestors of the mortal world came from here." Xin Hongyi's expression was shocked again.
Human Ancestor, an existence standing at the top of the mortal world. But half of them come from the wild realm?
Then why did the Wilderness Realm end up like this?
It seems that he guessed what Xin Hongyi was thinking.
The ancestor shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific reason. After all, our Xin family has been like this since we were demoted to this place."
"But this has nothing to do with us. Our task as a dark chess player is actually to keep track and get close."
near?
Xin Hongyi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Did our ancestors ask me to keep an eye on the thatched cottage?"
At that time, the Xin family already knew about Senior Lu?
You must know that when she joined the Southern Tibetan Taoist Academy, Lu Changsheng was not known at all.
The ancestor nodded, "Yes, do you remember what I told you about the previous owner of the Thatched Cottage? I let you contact the Thatched Cottage just because I want you to discover the secrets and traces of the previous owner."
"According to what that adult said, the previous leader of the Thatched Cottage was most likely a super strong man who participated in the war between the Demon Realm and the Mortal Realm. At the same time, it is also more or less related to the suppression of our Demon Realm. Relationship."
Xin Hongyi looked horrified.
“He is the Lord of God?”
"I don't know." The ancestor shook his head: "This person is extremely mysterious. If he is still alive today, he may be an obstacle to the comeback of our evil demon realm."
"But this mission is considered a failure." The ancestor shook his head regretfully: "I originally had the mentality of trying, and if it fails, it will be a failure."
"And what I have to tell you now is to keep an eye on you."
Xin Hongyi's face was solemn, and she listened carefully to her ancestor's words and deeds.
“In ancient times, almost all the powerful men in the mortal world perished, and they also knew that the Demon Realm would one day break through the seal, so they left their own inheritance on the ancient battlefield.”
“The four human ancestors are no exception. Although they didn’t leave any inheritance, they did leave something against the evil realm.”
"Now, the Supervisory Temple has taken action." The ancestor said seriously: "So, what you have to do is go to the ancient battlefield, prevent other human races from getting this object, and bring it back or destroy it!"
“After the initiation, your bloodline will awaken and your realm will be greatly improved. How much you can absorb depends on how much your bloodline can bear..."
"However, just in case I have to ask again." The ancestor looked at Xin Hongyi with his eagle eyes and asked: "Are you really going to be loyal to the Xin family? If this mission is completed, when the evil demon realm comes back, we will Then you can return to the Demon Realm and recognize your ancestors!"
Hearing this, Xin Hongyi struggled a little in his heart, but looking at the eyes of his ancestors, he thought that he was a member of the Xin family... So he took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "I will abandon the identity of human Xin Hongyi of."
