5444 Chapter 5444, past events
“What does the old ancestor want me to do?”Yun Chujiu asked with a faint smile.
The old ancestor of the Lan family slowly spat out two words, “Revenge!”
“Who is the enemy?”Yun chujiu did not ask what the hatred was because it was obvious that it was the hatred of Lan Demao’s father’s generation.
“I don’t know.”
Yun Chujiu:”…”
The Lan family’s ancestor let out a long sigh and said, “At that time, there was a strange phenomenon in the Lian Sheng mountain range. Chengze and his brothers rushed over together out of curiosity, but they did not return for a long time.
“I was worried, so I brought people to search…”
The Lan family’s ancestor seemed to be unable to continue speaking when he said this. The Chengze he mentioned was Lan Demao’s father, Lan Chengze.
The ancestor of the Lan family closed his eyes and paused for a moment before saying, “I brought people to search for a few days. Other than finding some relics left behind by Chengze’s two older brothers, we didn’t find anything else.
Just as he was about to give up, he found the heavily injured Chengze in an extremely hidden crack. His tongue had been cut off, his eyes had been pierced blind, his tendons and veins had been severed, and… He had gone mad.”
The Lan family’s ancestor clenched his hands tightly and continued, “The crack was very deep, and Cheng Ze was in that state back then. The murderer must have thought that he was dead for sure, so he didn’t go down to the crack to kill him.
“It was also because Cheng Ze didn’t deserve to die. There was a small amount of spring water seeping out of the crack, and he relied on the spring water to survive until I rushed over.
After I brought him back, I invited many famous doctors back. Although I reconnected his meridians, his hands and feet were still not very flexible. Moreover, he was still crazy.
Most importantly, his body was already severely depleted. Even if I used the best spirit medicine to nourish him, he wouldn’t have much time left.”
The blue family’s old ancestor’s eyes were already red. His voice was also somewhat hoarse, but he still continued to say:
“Chengze loves your grandmother very much. Even though he’s crazy, he still likes to have his little daughter accompany him.
“One time, when I went to see him, I saw your grandmother playing with a jade token in her hand. She wanted to take it over to have a look, but Chengze’s reaction was very intense, so I had no choice but to give up.
“When Chengze died, he seemed to have regained some clarity. Although he couldn’t speak, he still spent a lot of effort to write down some things on paper and pen.”
The old ancestor took out a piece of paper. Yun chujiu took it and looked at it. The handwriting on it was messy and crooked. Some of the words were even difficult to recognize.
Yun chujiu thought that it was normal. Lan Chengze was blind and his hands didn’t listen to his commands. His mind wasn’t very clear, so it was already good enough that he could write these words.
Yun chujiu could barely recognize some of the messy handwriting. Among them, there were words like “Divine enlightenment continent”, “Jade token”, and “Destroyed”.
No wonder the old Fox said that Lan Chengze and the others had lost their lives because of the jade token.
“After Chengze died, I didn’t find the jade token. Your grandmother was only four years old at that time, and she didn’t know the whereabouts of the jade token.
“I sent people to search the entire third room but couldn’t find the jade token, so I had to give up. I guessed that Chengze must have destroyed the jade token.
“At that time, the Qi, Zhuang, and MU families took the opportunity to encroach on our power. They were in a terrible state, so this matter was temporarily put aside.”
The Lan family’s ancestor recalled the past. His usually cold and hard face was filled with grief. He closed his eyes and a row of muddy tears flowed down.
He was not born cold-blooded and heartless. It was the pain of losing his son that forced him to become even colder. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold the LAN family up until now.
