Hearing this, Ming Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed. Looking at his surprised expression, the second elder said slightly: "Life is fickle, and things are unpredictable! To be honest, we old guys all have feelings for that woman, and even I am no exception. No matter what, She felt that she was not worthy, so no one spoke. However, the night before she left, the great elder, who had always been very courageous, approached her and confessed his feelings. The result was a rejection as expected! An incident? Could it be that the great elder's attitude towards him had something to do with this matter? "Then, he came and told us brothers about this. When we heard it, we all felt a little complicated. What if it were us? What would happen?" Ming Xiao, who knew that there would be a story in the future, listened. Gotta concentrate. "On the second day, we sent the woman out of the villa together. When it was time to separate, even though we knew she would leave eventually, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad." However, at this time, the second elder's face darkened and his tone was faint. Change: "The moment she bowed to say goodbye to us, a cold light like thunder shot straight into her heart. If she was hit without a trace of defense, she would be dead or injured! In the lightning flash, the one closest to her was The person in question was Batian. Without any hesitation, he pushed the woman beside him away. In his dull eyes, Batian spurted out a mouthful of blood, which fell on her white skirt. " At this point, The second elder seemed a little nervous, as if he had returned to the scene of that day. Hearing this, Ming Xiao tensed up slightly and stabilized his emotions. The second elder continued: "We were so frightened at the time that we never thought that such a situation would happen. After we reacted and rushed over in a hurry, , when they caught him, his chest had already been scratched by a weird weapon and was stained with blood. It was very frightening. His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. When the woman came back to her senses, she stared at her intently. In that direction, a few of us instantly felt a strong pressure, and then we saw her flying towards the source of the hidden weapon like the wind. Yes, that's right, she seems to be weak but she actually has the cultivation of the Huangzong. " " I didn't expect that my grandma would have such a level of cultivation. Judging from the situation at that time, my grandfather's life was probably in danger. What happened next?" Ming Xiao couldn't help but think. "At this critical moment, we couldn't care so much. We hugged Batian and ran to the villa. We rushed into the room and took out all the medicine that could heal his wounds. We tried all kinds of methods but he didn't seem to be able to heal. Fortunately, just when we were at our wits end, the woman came back. Although her clothes were stained with blood, she seemed uninjured, which made us feel a little relieved. " "Second Elder, who is grandma and why was she assassinated? She?" Ming Xiao asked with some confusion. "I'm not sure about this until now. In short, it's not something we can provoke. After she came in, she apologized to us repeatedly, saying that Ba Tian suffered from her, but how could we blame her? It just so happened that your grandfather At this time, he suddenly woke up, but he asked us brothers to go out first, saying that he wanted to talk to your grandma alone. We all knew that he was probably recovering from his illness if he spoke. Although we were worried, we followed his wishes and went out first. "Is my grandfather just leaving like this?" After hearing this, Ming Xiao felt a little unwilling, and felt that this matter would not be so simple. "Of course not. Just when we were all outside the door, almost desperate, we suddenly saw your grandma coming out of the room. There was a hint of shyness on her beautiful face, telling us that Ba Tian was fine. We were anxious. We didn't notice anything strange at that time and hurriedly pushed the door open. When we found that although Batian's body was severely damaged, his life was not worried, we were excited and shocked. Such a serious injury could actually survive. It¡¯s incredible to be able to survive.¡± ¡°But this is also the beginning of the first conflict between the great elder and your grandfather!¡± At this time, Ming Xiao also had some thoughts in his heart, and did not speak, but listened quietly. The words of the elders. "When we went out to thank your grandma, we didn't expect that she would say her name at that moment, 'Thank you for taking care of me for many days. My name is Mu Xinchan.'" Then under our somewhat confused expressions, she Another sentence ignited everyone's emotions like gunpowder. I will always remember her expression at that time, just like the beauty of flowers. She lowered her head and whispered: "I will be your sister-in-law from now on, no need to see anyone else!" '" Hearing this, Ming Xiao was stunned for a while. Grandpa was too strong, right? He just kidnapped grandma like this? At this time, the second elder's face didn't show any squirm. The expression on it seemed to be full of nostalgia for some past event. "Haha, I don't know what the people around me think, anyway, I want to be injured in bed in an instant.You are yourself. "Then the second elder looked a little melancholy and said: "Hey, just after your grandma finished speaking, the first elder couldn't help but question her and asked why she didn't accept him. He was the only one among us who expressed this to your grandma. He was very unwilling to go through his thoughts, but your grandma just apologized and said sorry without explaining too much. " "It wasn't until later that we learned that Batian and his sister-in-law had already fallen in love with each other in the previous days. If it weren't for Batian being embarrassed to open his mouth, otherwise it would be impossible to say that they were already together. That day, Batian thought that he He dared to express his feelings only after he was certain to die, but the result was unexpected Good fortune! After we understood it, we could only smile and bless him, but this matter has always been a knot in the heart of the great elder. " "Is he like this just because he can't get the woman he loves? This is too narrow-minded! Is my grandfather's final death really related to the first elder?" Ming Xiao said in a low voice, with strong anger in his eyes. Seeing this scene, the second elder gently patted his arm with his hand to express comfort, and whispered : "That's not the case, the matter is not over yet. After that incident, your grandfather and the great elder are no longer as close as before. Although it is not shown on the surface, everyone can feel the alienation between them. , In this regard, we old guys are quite helpless. " He breathed a sigh of relief, and the second elder said with a sad look on his face: "The Great Elder has always felt that Batian is the one who steals people's love, and although Batian feels guilty, he cannot give up his love because of this. There was a stalemate for several years. It was not until we old guys got wives and children that the situation eased. " "I didn't know that this was just the beginning. It was a day that I would never forget even if I died. It was silent but heartbreaking. The relationship between Ba Tian and his sister-in-law grew stronger day by day, and your father was born not long after. " "But in this wonderful time, suddenly one day a group of uninvited guests came. The cultivation level of this group of people was extremely high, and the pressure was beyond our ability to bear. After they explained their intention, just as we were congratulating them It was only when they came to look for someone that their sister-in-law appeared in front of them. After seeing her, these people immediately came forward to take her away. After listening to their conversation, we knew that these people were members of her clan. Although Their eyes were full of respect, but their attitude was imperative. " At this time, the second elder's face was not very good. Ming Xiao couldn't help but feel anxious after seeing it. The cause of grandpa's death might be known soon. "At this time, Batian, who had just come back from outside, saw his sister-in-law and wanted to After being taken away, he was so angry that he hurriedly tried to argue, but was knocked several feet away with a gentle palm from one of them and fell to the ground unconscious. " "Why! It's just that we were useless at that time. Faced with all this, we couldn't think of a single thought of resistance. Seeing him flying backwards, your grandma rushed up to hug him tightly and scolded the person who made the move. However, those When people saw this scene, their expressions changed, and they immediately stepped forward to attack your grandfather. " "Are these people so lawless? "Ming Xiao said with an extremely angry look. "To the real big forces, we are just ants. After my sister-in-law threatened to die and told us about our rescue, they stopped their actions and took out the best. Healing elixirs and us, and even took out a book of king-level exercises, saying it was as a reward for saving my sister-in-law. " "Finally, my sister-in-law agreed to go back with them, and asked him to leave the village first. Then he walked up to a few of us and said: 'Thank you for your concern during these days. If Ba Tian wakes up, please tell him that I I am of the same mind as his wife. If you die, my heart will die too! ¡¯ After she said that, she took out an exquisite iron box and stuffed it into the lapel of Ba Tian¡¯s chest before walking towards the outside of the village. "Although what the second elder said was unremarkable, Ming Xiao felt the sadness and unwillingness at that time as if he were there. He even heard the tearing sound of his heart. "I thought it would be over like this, but who knew you were domineering? After Tian woke up, he learned that his beloved wife had been taken away, and he gushed out a mouthful of blood. When we hurriedly put the elixir into his mouth, he recovered a little, but he remained silent. " "In this way, your father became his only sustenance. Every day he would go to the room specially designed for children to hold him in a daze. There was nothing we could do about this. We could only wait for him to recover on his own. However, The unexpected finally happened. " Having said this, the second elder paused for a moment, and then said: "One day not long after, Batian went to visit him again. When he just walked out of the door, he met the great elder entering. Not long after, he saw The great elder seemed to be in a frenzy, his eyes were blood red, he rushed to Ba Tian and slapped him with an involuntary palm. " "The movement at that time naturally alarmed us not far away, and we were very surprised.After finally pulling away from the great elder, he asked about the situation. Alas, it turned out that when the great elder entered the room, he found that his beloved son, who is now your uncle Mingwen's brother, had no breath. " Hearing this, Ming Xiao was shocked. He finally understood why the great elder treated him like this, but he still didn't believe that his grandfather would do such a thing. "Is there any misunderstanding here? " "Hey, we don't believe that Batian would do this, and he has no motive, but the facts make the great elder have to believe it. After we tried our best to persuade him, he only became angry after we found out the truth before making a conclusion. walked away. " "However, what worries us is that Batian is still as silent as before, and has never opened his mouth to defend himself. If I hadn't seen the sadness flashing through his eyes at that time, even I would have felt sad. suspected. "What happened in this? Ming Xiao thought for a moment, and suddenly the group of people mentioned by the second elder flashed in his mind, and then he said: "Could it be someone from the grandma clan? " "We also had suspicions at that time, but unfortunately there was no evidence at all. Judging from the situation at the time, Batian's suspicion was the biggest. Then we took your father out of the house, fearing that the elder would temporarily Act on impulse. " Taking a deep breath, the second elder suddenly said: "Just when we were busy investigating, the next day, the bad news came about your grandfather. He committed suicide in his own house. After we heard about it, we rushed over in a hurry. Unfortunately, it was too late, and his soul had long gone. " Ming Xiao, who knew that his grandfather was dead, couldn't help but blurred his eyes after hearing the choked words of the second elder. " He left. Although he looked peaceful, the sadness in his eyebrows revealed his unwillingness and sadness. , on the table in the house, we found a letter, presumably left by him before his death. " "In the letter, he mentioned that he was very sorry for the great elder, hoped for his understanding, and told some of his behind-the-scenes affairs. The other wooden sign standing on the table is the person whom Ba Tian missed when he left. Yours Grandma Mu Xinchan, he hopes that they will still be married in the next life, but after the elder learned about this, not only did he not calm down, but he even became more crazy, and even his personality became a little weird. There is a reason for this, so I I hope you don't hold a grudge against him too much. Why! ! " The words of the second elder contained so much information that Ming Xiao couldn't react in his mind. There were too many doubts in it. Who is the murderer behind the scenes? Is it really grandpa? After a long time, The two of them slowly calmed down their inner emotions, and then the second elder walked up to Ming Xiao, pulled him up, and slowly walked behind the wooden sign. He held up a small jar with both hands and wiped it slightly with his sleeves. He gently opened the lid, carefully took out a small iron box, and said slowly: "This is the only thing he left behind, which is what your grandma gave him. In the letter, he also said that it will be This thing was given to his descendants, and we put it here together. We thought about giving it to your father, but he took it away for some time and put it back here for some reason. You are his grandson, so it is okay to give it to you. It is well deserved. " After getting the iron box, a cold feeling ran through Ming Xiao's body, making him shudder. "This thing must be extraordinary," he couldn't help but think in his mind. Without thinking too much for the time being, Ming Xiao carefully took it He took it into his arms, took two steps back, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. "Huh, second brother, you are so powerful, how can you break the rules of the clan at will. " A rush of footsteps entered the quiet ancestral hall. Upon hearing the somewhat irritable voice, both of them frowned in unison.
