Chapter 286 Letter
After digging all the herbs, Chen Lan continued to move forward.
Then she saw the ancestral hall in the house and learned from the many tablets that the family's surname was "Hao".
Entering someone's house and taking their things, it was impossible for Chen Lan to remain indifferent. She knelt on the cushion with some gratitude and apology, and kowtowed to the tablets.
"It is the junior who has offended me, please forgive me."
There was nothing she could do if she didn't forgive him. Any cultivator would do such a thing. It was impossible for them to pass by here and not even glance at all the treasures without any desire, right?
Just when Chen Lan's head touched the ground, there was a clicking sound and the ground seemed to shake.
She was stunned and reached over with her hand in confusion. She patted it and found that it was empty underneath.
Thinking of something, Chen Lan took out his sword, found the gap with the tip of the sword, and a secret compartment was revealed!
[Hehe, some things just depend on the right time, right place, and right people. It won’t work no matter who you are or where you are.]
[This is what Senior Sister deserves. ]
Mo Jiuwei looked very pleased.
Not to mention that the people from Wuyamen were trapped in the formation and could not come here at all. Even if they really had the ability to break into the ancestral hall, they would only search everywhere, make a mess, and then leave.
It is impossible to expect them to understand etiquette and kowtow and bow obediently!
So this fate belongs to Chen Lan. No matter how many people there are from Wuyamen, what does it matter? If it's not theirs, it's not theirs. No matter how hard they try, it's useless.
Chen Lan looked over and saw a box made of jade-like material inside. The box was closed but not locked.
Chen Lan carefully put it away and picked it open with the tip of the sword. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no poison or other hidden weapon inside. He moved closer to take a closer look.
Disappointingly, there wasn't anything special in the box, nor anything that looked valuable.
It only contains two objects, one is the folded animal skins, and the other is the token placed under the animal skins.
This token is very small and exquisite, of light blue color. The material is not very precious, and there is only one word "Hao" on it.
This doesn't seem to be worth much, it's just the Hao family's identity certificate.
After Chen Lan looked at it, she put it aside and then unfolded the animal skin.
As she unfolded it, she was surprised to find words on it. After she finished unfolding it, she realized that it was actually a letter written by herself.
"There was another turmoil in the world, and this time it lasted more than twice as long as the one a month ago. So we realized that the disaster of this world was finally coming, and the most ridiculous and false guess became true."
The handwriting is very heroic, with iron-like strokes and silver-like hooks. Perhaps the owner who wrote it was in an excited mood, so he wrote some parts with particularly heavy strokes.
Chen Lan couldn't help but become serious when she saw this opening.
In the world, turmoil, disaster...
Could it be that this is related to the death and disappearance of all the indigenous people in the small secret realm?
She suddenly lost her composure and this time she sat upright on the ground, holding the animal skin and looking at it seriously.
The writer of the letter said that their world was separated from other big worlds. It started with an earthquake that was not caused by any murderer, but was a miracle that happened naturally, like a natural disaster.
After the separation, there was nothing special at first. There were just fewer people, less land, and fewer things. It was like there were several cities on a continent, and then one city was picked out and started living independently.
But after several years of peace, everything went wrong!
The climate here has become extremely bad, and there are frequent turbulence and inexplicable energy attacks. Ordinary cultivators cannot withstand it and die.
Some people survived this wave, but failed to withstand the next one.
Moreover, this kind of turmoil is happening more and more frequently, and more and more low-level monks are dying, which is causing panic among everyone.
It was at this time that they remembered the rumor that had been circulating since who knows when -
True Immortals will choose their own attendants.
Those chosen by them can rise all the way until they ascend, get closer to true immortals step by step, and become their servants.
Those who are not chosen by the true immortals will become abandoned, also known as "immortal orphans". These people will be exiled and then die inexplicably.
As early as when they were separated into a small world, some people said that they had become immortal orphans and that something bad would happen, but no one took it seriously at the time and just thought they were exaggerating.
And it was indeed peaceful at that time. Everything around seemed to have not changed. It was just that before I could travel to faraway places to experience and play, but now I can't go to many places.
The peace lasted too long, causing the rumor to disappear completely and almost everyone forgot about it.
It was not until the disaster struck that everyone was puzzled and racking their brains to find a solution, and only then did they vaguely remember the related rumors.
It would be fine if you didn’t think about it, but when you thought about it, everyone broke out in a cold sweat!
If the incident is man-made or a natural disaster, they can all find ways to save themselves.
But if this is the will of the true immortal, then doesn't it mean that there is no one to turn to for help and no way out?
They didn't believe it and wanted to find evidence that could overturn this speculation, but they didn't wait for it.
Not only did they fail to see a turn for the better, but they witnessed more and more people dying. Generation after generation of juniors disappeared, and in the end only a few of the most powerful "seniors" were left.
But the seniors knew that they could not hold out for much longer, because if that was really the reason, no matter how high their cultivation level was, they would not be able to resist.
Because, that is the will of the True Immortal!
True immortals, that is, real immortals, are not the cultivators like them who rely on their own strength to change their destiny, but those who are born as immortals and have been in the clouds from the beginning.
The person who wrote the letter seemed to have a very high level of cultivation, and was top-notch in the entire world. His Hao family was also considered to be the overlord of the world, but he also watched his descendants die one after another, until in the end only he and a few other old guys who were on good terms were left.
It is not known whether he sensed God's will at the end of his life, or whether he held a glimmer of hope in the dark, so he left this letter to leave it to "future generations".
The descendants he was referring to were not the descendants of the Hao family, but the people who would come later.
"I don't know what will happen when the last few of us old guys die. Will this world collapse and disappear? Or will new life break out of the ground and start a new chapter?"
"I am powerless to change this, I can only do my best to leave something behind for future generations."
“I hope future generations will take warning and not make the same mistakes again.”
When writing the last line, the writer seemed to be in a very melancholy mood, and the handwriting was a little blurred.
