Chapter 058 The Storm is Coming Again
Chen Jiaer shrugged: "If you don't tell me, I'll come and drink for free later. It's my fault that I don't know how to do it."
After saying that, he squinted his eyes and took another sip with enjoyment. After drinking it, he pursed his lips, savoring the taste.
Chen Jiaer was thinking that this would give her another excuse to stay with Zengyue, and from now on, Boss Yang would never be able to get rid of her wherever he went, huh.
The three of them had a very enjoyable dinner.
After returning to Nanyuan, Shi Rongchuan had dinner and was sitting in the study with his mother, telling her about what he saw and heard in Sikun Mountain.
Only mother and son were there.
He, his mother, and the ninth grandfather are the only direct descendants of the Shi family left.
The side branches have been eyeing the direct line covetously in recent years, and the mother and son have been very exhausted in the past two years.
Shi Baigu opened the box left by his grandfather Shi Yunzhi and handed the painting inside to Shi Rongchuan: "Is the Xingyun Temple in this painting the same one you saw?"
Shi Rongchuan nodded.
Shi Baigu actually believed what he saw in the underground palace.
The Shi family has been guarding this temple for thousands of years. What belief has allowed the ancestors to persevere? She thinks it must be the uniqueness of Xingyun Temple itself.
It can be said that the Shi family paid a huge price to protect this temple.
It was not until Shi Jiuyue caused a big disturbance among the Nanyuan families that these families gave up some of their desire to explore this temple.
Because the map was destroyed.
Shi Baigu learned this from reading the notes left by the heads of various families.
Shi Rongchuan's expression clearly showed that he was still skeptical about this matter.
After he opened the notes from the head of the Shi family, he found that things might not be what he thought.
The Shi family once spent a lot of manpower, financial resources, material resources and military force to defend Xingyun Temple.
Judging from past expenditures, it is too high, and the death toll is also very high.
What is it for?
Shi Rongchuan couldn't understand.
If it was really for a story that sounded like a legend, then the price was too high.
It is very likely that it is the treasures in the underground palace.
Even though he was born in a wealthy family, he had never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry.
Some pieces are worth a fortune.
They are all piled up in the underground palace, never seeing the light of day.
The Yan family and the Bai family are most likely going for these treasures.
Shi Baigu tapped the table with his fingers and suddenly said to Shi Rongchuan in a serious tone, "Rongchuan, you can't tell anyone that you entered the underground palace of Xingyun Temple, and you can't show anyone the things inside, including me."
Shi Rongchuan looked up and saw the wrinkles appearing at the corners of his beautiful mother's eyes. "Mom, do you believe this legend?"
Shi Baigu nodded and continued, "The Shi family's martial arts tradition has a set of formulas for practicing Qi, which are the ones you usually practice. However, you only learned the first half."
Shi Rongchuan frowned, "And then? Has anyone in the Shi family practiced the second half?"
Shi Baigu shook his head: "No one can decipher that text. The conditions are too harsh."
After she got the practice formula, she kept thinking about what it would take to break the essence of the sun and the moon, obtain the dew of the quiet night, and what it would take to break the confinement. She had not figured out any of this.
After saying that, Shi Baigu took out a piece of antique that looked like silk from the secret compartments in the study. Shi Rongchuan was very familiar with the first half of the text on it, but he had never seen the second half before.
Shi Baigu had already memorized the words above, and she told Shi Rongchuan to remember them, as they might be useful in the future.
Shi Rongchuan didn't understand why his mother believed the story of Xingyun Temple so easily. It sounded like a fairy tale.
Shi Baigu said, "In this world, many things cannot be viewed or considered with our common sense. We need to look deeper and be bolder. I believe that the ancestors of the Shi family would not have expended so much energy to protect such a temple."
"Also, the Yan family and the Bai family are not short of money. Although the treasure is tempting, it is not to the point where they must kill the Shi family." Shi Baigu saw through Shi Rongchuan's thoughts.
This sentence also reminds Shi Rongchuan not to look at this matter from the perspective of ordinary people.
Shi Rongchuan nodded and put the silk away. "Do the other families in Nanyuan also know about Xingyun Temple?"
For thousands of years, these families have been trying to find the exact location of Xingyun Temple, but they were all stopped by the Shi family.
However, this also made them more convinced that Xingyun Temple had secrets, or treasures.
And now, with Shi Rongchuan's itinerary to Sikun Mountain exposed, these families must be ready to make a move again.
"The Pang family and the Bai family have been secretly dealing with each other, and Pang Guanqun is the grandson-in-law that Bai Kaibang has his eyes on." Shi Baigu had already found out all the information before Shi Rongchuan came back.
Then he continued, "As for the Mo family, that was put there by the Bai family to confuse the public."
Shi Rongchuan thought of the Ren family that Yang Zengyue had mentioned: "Where is the Ren family?"
Shi Baigu threw the information to Shi Rongchuan.
The Ren family has been very prosperous in recent years. Ren Xiyuan, the most outstanding member of this generation, opened a martial arts school in the name of the Ren family and recruited some disciples for training.
As the Ren family grew in size, they became more ambitious and had been trying to join the Bai family's circle in recent years.
I heard that Ren Xiyuan is pursuing Bai Jingyou, the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
The dialogue is quiet and obedient.
I just want to take the opportunity to enter the Bai family.
But what’s interesting is that Bai Jingyou didn’t fall for Ren Xiyuan, but instead fell for her brother-in-law, Pang Guanqun.
Shi Rongchuan looked through the information his mother had found over the past two days, which covered almost all the families that were at odds with the Shi family.
However, those who openly have frequent dealings with the Shi family must also be investigated.
Shi Rongchuan planned to do it himself.
After talking to Shi Baigu, she only needed to think about it for a moment before she understood Shi Rongchuan's idea.
Just because something looks good on the surface doesn't mean it's really good. If the incident at Xingyun Temple stirs up trouble again among these families, these families will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Shi Baigu asked Shi Rongchuan and Xu Yunzhao to be responsible for this matter together, and it was also time for Shi Rongchuan to get to know these families in depth.
Before leaving the study, Shi Rongchuan hesitated to speak. Shi Baigu looked up at his son and asked, "Why, is there anything else you want to say but dare not?"
Shi Rongchuan thought about it and finally didn't say it out loud, but he reminded her to be careful of the Meng family and also to be on guard against the people around her.
In the Shi family, apart from Xu Yunzhao, there is probably no one else who is loyal.
Shi Rongchuan felt a little tired.
He and his mother were both aware of the Shi family's current situation, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so those families only moved in secret.
Before Shi Rongchuan stepped out of the study, Shi Baigu sighed, "Rongchuan, the Shi family's situation is more complicated than you think. So, if you can handle it with lightning speed, do it directly and don't leave any future troubles."
Shi Rongchuan turned around, looked at his mother and nodded, "Don't worry."
When September comes and Master Jiu returns home, he will take away all these ghosts and monsters. Before that, let them live comfortably for a few days.
