Chapter 57 A Great Legacy
"When I first came to the Bai family, they were already extremely wealthy..."
They were not only rich, but also had a certain amount of power, but the head of the Bai family at the time was not a pretentious person.
On the contrary, he is a kind and generous philanthropist who has done a lot of good deeds for the people around him, which is why I took the liberty of visiting him.
At that time, he not only agreed to my unreasonable request, but also built a temple for me and continuously offered incense. It is because of this that my soul has been able to exist for so many years and still retain a certain amount of magical power...
That's why I made a contract with the Bai family...
The Bai family helps me with the offerings, and I maintain their peace. However, two hundred years ago, I foresaw a calamity that might wipe out the Bai family..."
Ye Ran listened intently to Liao Wu's narration, but when she reached this point, she asked anxiously, "What catastrophe? What happened back then?"
Liao Wu sighed with some regret, "It's nothing more than the rise and fall of a dynasty! Everything in the world has its destiny. Because of me, the Bai family has been wealthy for far too many years."
So naturally, it was time to end it. At that time, there were two brothers in the direct line of the Bai family.
Ye Ran listened intently, while Lu Yi seemed lost in thought...
“At that time, I appeared in their dreams and told them about this calamity, and that they should shut themselves away from visitors to avoid the disaster. But the eldest brother did not listen to me. Instead, he took a lot of Bai family members and money to another place to do business, and they never returned…”
The second son was frightened by what happened to the eldest son and immediately followed my instructions. The Bai family then stayed at home. However, the next generation of the Bai family could not restrain themselves and secretly ran away, which attracted the covetousness of foreign invaders.
The Bai family was ruthlessly plundered, and this once powerful clan, which had endured for a thousand years, fell into decline... Ultimately, they could not defy the arrangements of fate. The last patriarch of the Bai family made a bold decision, sealing all the remaining wealth of the Bai family on this Half-Cloud Mountain, and then led the remaining members of the Bai family away, never to return..."
Ye Ran felt her head was overloaded again. "Then... then that means there's wealth passed down through generations of the Bai family here?"
Liao Kong smiled faintly, "That's right, otherwise why do you think there's such a large stone wall here? Actually, it was all carved out by the Bai family back then, using up all their manpower..."
Hidden within this stone wall lies a vast fortune left by the Bai family. To protect this place, the Bai family left behind guardians...
These people protected the peace here; the medicinal herb fields behind this stone wall are what they left behind…
Lu Yi was puzzled. "Where did these people go now? I've searched the area for a long time, but I can't find any trace of them..."
"Because of time..."
"The Bai family only left a few mountain guardians behind before hastily leaving. As time went on, these people were initially able to diligently guard the mountain, waiting for the Bai family to return to their ancestral land one day..."
But no matter how long they waited, no one came, and the people from that time passed away one after another...
In the end, only one person remained. This person, having accumulated a deep hatred during the long wait, finally burned down the ancestral land left by the Bai family and left...
Ye Ran was somewhat taken aback. "This... why do you say the Bai family hasn't returned? My maternal grandfather used to live around here."
