Chapter 026 What does the Zhang family do?
While feeding him continuously, Zhang Moyu began to tell him about his experience with that team.
"I see that your team seems to be quite unfamiliar with you. Is it a temporary group?"
There was nothing much to say about this. Zhang Qiling nodded slightly and said "hmm".
"You should pay attention to the leader of the team. He looks like a man with many thoughts on his mind and doesn't seem like a serious person. Be careful not to be led astray by him."
However, if he was accidentally led into trouble, he would still be able to seek justice for him, so Zhang Moyu just gave him a casual reminder and didn't say much.
Zhang Qiling agreed with his words. After all, he had just seen Wuxie being fooled by Wu Sansheng and lost his way not long ago.
Of course, the deception went so smoothly because Wuxie was too easily deceived.
Wu Sansheng paid money to hire Zhang Qiling to come to this tomb to protect Wuxie.
Zhang Qiling had not originally planned to come, but Wu Sanxing told him that there were things here that were related to his past memories. When Wu Sanxing mentioned the Ghost Seal, Zhang Qiling suddenly recalled fragments of his memories about the Ghost Seal and the Bronze Door.
Realizing that Wu Sansheng did know something and that he really needed to get the Ghost Seal, Zhang Qiling agreed to make this trip.
Looking back now, Zhang Qiling suddenly felt that he had been tricked by Wu Sanxing.
Looking at Zhang Moyu who was looking at him gently, after hesitating for a moment, Zhang Qiling finally decided to tell him about this matter. He could ask him to help get the Ghost Seal, while he would keep an eye on Wu Sansheng to see what he was up to.
At the same time, this was also a test for Zhang Moyu. He didn't actually have too many doubts about this person, but the caution he had developed over the years made him unable to trust anyone who approached him.
"He said the Ghost Seal is here and I want it. Will you help me?"
Suddenly hearing the distress signal from Xiao Qilin, Zhang Moyu nodded without thinking.
"Well, I can get it for you."
After a pause, Zhang Moyu added, thinking that Zhang Qiling's identity was different from those little guys who had been around him in the past and waiting for him to clean up the mess. He was the current patriarch of the Zhang family.
"Actually, you can just give me orders. You are the current clan leader and the head of the clan. You have the authority to decide anything."
"The Zhang family is gone."
Zhang Qiling lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression, and even his eating movements slowed down.
"As long as the patriarch is still here, the Zhang family will still exist."
Zhang Moyu's tone was firm and unquestionable.
Zhang Qiling pursed his lips, turned his head and looked at him. Seeing the trust and support in his eyes, a moment of confusion flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt that he had added another responsibility on his shoulders.
Seeing that he was in a heavy mood at the moment, Zhang Moyu spoke to comfort him.
"Don't feel any psychological burden, I'll take care of everything. It's okay even if you don't do anything. Just take your time.
I haven't found other members of the tribe yet, but you will know in the future that being a tribe leader is actually very simple. You just need to deal with minor disputes within the tribe. If you don't want to do other things, you can just leave them to other members of the tribe.
Even if you want to be willful, everyone will accompany you and no one will go against your wishes."
To be honest, Zhang Moyu really felt that although Zhang Qiling, the patriarch, had a miserable life and the burden on him became revitalizing the family, it was really a very simple job.
However, if they had a choice, they would not want it to be so simple.
When Zhang Moyu was the clan leader, there were more than 3,000 direct descendants alone, and both adults and children were a worry. A few hundred people in the clan territory could cause chaos, and clan members outside the clan would cause a lot of trouble even if they did not stay in the clan territory.
In comparison, with their abilities and unique bloodline, revitalizing the family would be quite easy as long as there were people.
"What does that ghost seal look like? Is there anything special about it?"
It would be easier to find it if you ask clearly. Zhang Moyu didn’t even know what this thing looked like.
"Qilin tramples ghosts."
Seeing that he was still a little uncertain, Zhang Qiling hesitated for a moment and asked about his doubts.
"The Zhang family has guarded the bronze gate for generations, and the Ghost Seal is the key. Don't you know?"
Zhang Qiling looked so confident that even Zhang Moyu felt a little uncertain.
"Yeah?"
Isn’t the Zhang family a Taoist family that has been exorcising evil spirits and specializing in medicine and witchcraft for generations?
He was confused for a moment, and then Zhang Moyu thought that the era he was in was two thousand years ago, and it was normal for changes to occur over time.
But... exorcising evil spirits and continuing the family line should be the core of the clan precepts. Why does the current clan leader only remember to guard that bronze door after losing his memory?
"In my time, there was no bronze gate or anything like that. The Zhang family's duty was to help the Heavenly Dao cleanse the world, eliminate evil spirits and ghosts, and at most continue the family line."
Zhang Moyu frowned slightly, thinking that this matter was not simple and that such words would not be passed down for no reason.
"Do you remember anything more specific?"
Zhang Qiling thought about it carefully again, and found that they were all scattered fragments of memory, and he had no other memories about the bronze door, but he had heard some of it while searching for memories.
"No, it contains the ultimate. Legend has it that people can see what they want to see most."
As for what the ultimate goal is, he doesn't know either.
"That doesn't sound like a good thing... From my experience, anything that can grant your wishes is either an evil deity or something that can cause hallucinations."
Since it has to be locked with a bronze door and guarded by the Zhang family for generations... or in other words, it has to be suppressed by their Qilin blood for generations, it is most likely the former.
Zhang Moyu guessed that this might be someone from a certain generation of the Zhang family who discovered an evil god that they could not deal with, and ultimately had no choice but to seal it up, building a bronze door to lock it up to prevent outsiders from breaking the seal.
"It's not a big deal to keep watching over it. It was fine in the past, but now the Zhang family is so small that we can't spare any help. When the time comes, I'll go with you to that bronze door and see if we can get rid of that thing."
"good."
Because they were both members of the Zhang family, Zhang Qiling easily agreed to Zhang Moyu's request to go together.
"Chief, you are so cute."
Seeing Zhang Qiling answering every question and looking particularly well-behaved, Zhang Moyu couldn't help but smile again.
Zhang Qiling felt his cheeks getting slightly hot when he heard his praise, and spoke a little uncomfortably.
"You can call by name."
Because he was an elder, Zhang Moyu didn't insist on calling him clan leader in private, but asked casually.
"So what's your real name?"
This question made Zhang Qiling fall into deep thought. In his existing memory, his name was Zhang Qiling. Why did Zhang Moyu ask him what his real name was?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Qiling finally found a name in the corners of his memory.
"Little official."
