Chapter 2076 Mysterious Ancestor
(4, 0);
First, the conversation with the black-clad man after entering the city, then the scenes seen along the way, and finally the information learned from the conversation with the lame old man.
As these pieces of information came together, the whole thing became clearer and clearer in Lin Yue's mind.
After a while, Lin Yue whispered, "Friend Qing, let's wait and see what they will do next?"
Hearing Lin Yue's words, Qing Bingying's pupils shrank slightly.
"Could it be...Fellow Daoist Lin, do you think they are planning something bad against us?"
"From the information we have so far, this situation shouldn't happen if everyone has the same goal, but nothing is absolute, and not all the information we know is necessarily true, so we still have to be vigilant before we see the scroll of inheritance."
"I understand." Qing Bingying nodded solemnly.
Next, the two found a place in the house to sit down and meditate, while at the same time sending their spiritual thoughts outside the room so that if anything unexpected happened, they could discover it in time.
…
In a secret room in the main hall.
A dozen mysterious men in black robes stood in the shadow of the oil lamp. They had different body shapes, some were tall and strong like beasts, while others were as short as a dwarf.
At this moment, a figure pushed open the door of the secret room and limped in.
When he walked under the light of the oil lamp, the face of the lame old man appeared, but now there was no solemnity on his face, only a humble attitude.
Noticing his appearance, those figures in black robes cast their eyes over to him, but no one spoke first.
"Ahem... fellow ancestors, the legendary man has appeared. We will soon be able to leave this sinful place!" The lame old man stopped and said with an irrepressible excitement.
Soon, a reply came from the shadows.
"Have you confirmed the identity of that person?" a thin figure asked coldly.
"Yes, it's true!"
The lame old man nodded excitedly.
After hearing his answer, this time there was finally some commotion among the black-robed figures.
"What is recorded in the scroll of inheritance is actually true. I thought it was just some nonsense left by the ancients."
"Seven Dharma Protectors! Do not speak words that offend the elders. This is a taboo!"
"Stop arguing, let's think about how to get that person to help us leave here."
"Yes, this is the most important thing. The mining efficiency of the Chiyang Mine has been getting lower and lower over the years, and it can no longer support our hibernation!"
The lame old man stood aside and waited quietly for their conclusion. Although he was a high-ranking figure in the entire clan, he was no different from other ordinary clan members in front of these unfathomable ancestors.
As more than a dozen ancestors continued to talk, the final plan was decided.
"Then let's arrange it this way. Let him study the scroll of inheritance first. If he can find a way to leave this world, there's no need to make things difficult for him." The dwarf-like figure said grimly.
"Can."
Hearing everyone's decision, the lame old man couldn't help but interrupt.
"Dear ancestors..."
Feeling the cold gazes, the lame old man couldn't help but tremble all over. He knew that although these ancestors also belonged to the clan, the hands of each of them were stained with the blood of a lot of fellow clansmen.
"What's the matter?" the dwarf figure asked coldly.
The lame old man lowered his head and said, "Although the plan of the ancestors is very good, the Sun Wheel Era is about to arrive..."
"The Sun's Wheel..."
After hearing this answer, the black-robed figures fell into silence for a moment, and after a while, someone slowly spoke.
"If that's the case, there are a lot more variables. We need to get the method of leaving this world out of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, when people from other gathering places find him, it will be difficult to carry out the plan!"
"Understood. I'll do it right away."
The lame old man responded quickly, and when he looked up again, he found that the dozen figures in front of him had disappeared, and a feeling of surviving a disaster surged in his heart.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly turned around to leave the secret room. Every conversation with these clan ancestors made him feel frightened.
Only after walking out of the secret passage did the lame old man slowly breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the woman in gauze coming towards him, his expression regained its solemnity and he asked in a serious tone.
"How are the dinner preparations going?"
The woman in gauze stopped walking when she heard that, bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Reporting to the elder, everything has been prepared as you requested. I am about to lead the guests to the dinner venue."
"Very good, you must get all the secrets out of him, no matter what the cost!" the lame old man ordered in a deep voice.
From the great attention that the clan elders paid to this matter, he had already realized that if this plan failed, he would most likely follow in the footsteps of the previous elders.
Although few of the previous family elders had a good end, he still didn't want to end up in such a miserable way.
Seeing the lame old man's meaningful gaze, the woman in gauze realized something, her beautiful face under the hood turned slightly red, and she nodded and whispered. (5,0);
"I understand."
As a maid raised in the clan hall, she had long had a premonition of her fate. After all, the living environment here was countless times better than that of other clan members, and these gifts were naturally not without cost.
What they need to give is to devote their all to obtain the greatest benefit for the clan when the clan receives certain distinguished guests. Therefore, every maid in the clan hall is a beautiful woman carefully selected from the city, and they can appear here only after unified training.
"Um."
Seeing that she understood what he meant, the lame old man nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left, still thinking about things related to Lin Yue in his heart.
Although the scroll of inheritance had not yet been given to Lin Yue for observation, he felt that Lin Yue was not completely ignorant of how to leave this world. After all, he also came here from the outside world.
Therefore, the maid just arranged was the lame old man's first wave of tests. If all went well, the clan could obtain a way to leave this world in advance, and naturally they would not have to face the troubles of the Sun Wheel Era.
On the other side, the woman in gauze came to the room where Qing Bingying was staying and knocked on the door gently.
Boom boom boom…
"What's up?"
Qing Bingying's cold voice came from the room.
"Dear guests, the banquet is about to begin. I am here to take you to the venue."
"good."
After getting the answer, the woman in gauze was about to go to the next room and knock on the door, but she found that Lin Yue and Qing Bingying walked out of the room.
