Chapter 1108 Ling On
A farce ended here.
The troublemakers scattered like birds and beasts, and the spectators also dispersed.
As these people dispersed, a piece of news spread in Tiandu City: Xiao Nantian, the eldest son of the Xiao family, returned to Tiandu after a hundred years!
At this time, Xiao Mian, led by Xiao Bailu, had entered the Xiao family.
The lobby of the Xiao family is called-Lanling Hall!
It was in Lanling Hall that Xiao Mian met the current head of the Xiao family.
Looking at the young woman in the hall who was only a high-level Jindan cultivator, Xiao Mian frowned unconsciously, but soon relaxed.
It seems that the situation of the Xiao family is worse than he imagined!
A high-level Jindan cultivator can sit on the position of the head of the Xiao family. Could it be that the dangerous wall of the Xiao family has collapsed?
"It's you, claiming to be Xiao Nantian?" The young woman in the hall, dressed simply and with a haggard face, looked at Xiao Mian with a look of doubt and uncertainty, but from her hands tightly holding the chair, it can be seen that she knew Xiao Nantian. With a sigh, Xiao Mian bowed to the young woman in the hall: "Aunt! Don't play this trick with my nephew!"
"You! What did you call me?"
"Hmph! Since the Xiao family doesn't recognize me as a returning wanderer, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Xiao Mian turned around and left without stopping.
To be honest, seeing the current situation of the Xiao family, Xiao Mian really has the urge to be a gentleman - a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!
From Xiao Nantian's information, Xiao Mian knew that a hundred years ago, Xiao Nantian called himself a traveler, but in fact he broke out of the door for some reason.
Speaking of which, he is somewhat similar to Mr. Bai Qi back then.
How could such a person with a bad temper act like a wag of the tail and beg for mercy?
Besides, I'm afraid that Xiao Mian wants to leave now, and the Xiao family will not agree!
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Mian turned around, the young woman who was sitting in the hall suddenly changed her face and stood in front of Xiao Mian.
"You can't go anywhere without understanding your identity!"
"I could break out of the door a hundred years ago, but I wonder who can stop me a hundred years later!"
"You! You..." Staring at Xiao Mian's eyes, the young woman was angry and anxious, but at this moment, Xiao Bailu took two steps and came to the young woman and whispered: "Aunt! Maybe he is really my elder brother? Otherwise, how could he know you?"
"Humph! Even if he is really your elder brother, you can't talk back to me like this!"
"That's right! That's right! Aunt is the head of the Xiao family after all, big... big brother, it's really inappropriate for you to talk to Aunt like this!" As he spoke, Xiao Bailu winked at Xiao Mian. Seeing the face that was exactly the same as Xiao Chuqing, Xiao Mian was a little distracted, but still whispered to the young woman: "Aunt! Please forgive Nantian for being rude!"
"..., that's all!"
"But Nantian has one thing I don't understand: how did you become the head of the Xiao family?"
"You! Humph! Do you think I like being the head of the Xiao family? Our Xiao family is not prosperous. When it comes to my generation, there are only me and your father, a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, your father is not ambitious and has not been able to form a pill for a long time, and died of old age. Your grandfather sent his son to his death, and he was bedridden for many years. In your generation, Bai Lu and Nan Ming are ambitious, but they are not stable. How can I not come out to support the stage?"
Your father is not ambitious!
Privately, Xiao Mian complained in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
At this time, the young woman's expression changed.
"Your grandfather already knows that you are back and is asking you to go to him! Bailu, take your elder brother to see your grandfather!"
"Yes!"
Nodding, Xiao Bailu blinked at Xiao Mian.
After Xiao Mian followed Xiao Bailu out of Lanling Hall, the young woman, Xiao Qingxia, the current head of the Xiao family, looked uncertain.
Let's talk about Xiao Mian again, following Xiao Bailu step by step.
Looking to be humble, Xiao Mian was quickly looking around the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, and there was only one conclusion - the Xiao family, it is difficult to turn back!
Walking in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, there was not a single servant or servant.
This is unimaginable for a family of cultivators.
Obviously, with the current situation of the Xiao family, it is almost a miracle that they have not been removed from Tiandu City...
After a while, Xiao Mian was led by Xiao Bailu to a loft.
"Big...Big Brother! How about...you go in by yourself?"
"Why? Are you afraid of him?"
The "he" that Xiao Mian was referring to was the ancestor of the Xiao family!
Xiao Bailu's face turned pale when she heard this, but she remained silent.
Shaking his head, Xiao Mian took out a piece of something and threw it to Xiao Bailu.
After Xiao Bailu caught it, she was stunned, and then surprised and happy.
Just because, what Xiao Mian gave her was exactly that piece - Six Like Flying Frost!
"Although it's not the first time we've met, today is a formal meeting after all, and as a big brother, I have to give you a gift! Find an opportunity in the future, and I'll help you refine the Flying Frost Sword. When the Bailu and Flying Frost swords are combined, you don't have to be afraid of those weaklings anymore!"
"Really...really gave it to me? This is worth a lot of immortal crystals!"
"Go!"
"Thank you, big brother!"
Holding the Six Like Flying Frost tightly, Xiao Bailu retreated happily.
Take a deep breath, Xiao Mian strode into the attic.
The attic was empty except for a huge bed.
The bed was covered with layers of curtains, making it difficult to see what was inside.
When he arrived in front of the bed, Xiao Mian just stood there, neither bowing nor speaking.
For a long time, the attic was silent.
"Cough! Cough cough..., you unfilial son! Are you planning to exhaust me to death?"
"You haven't died yet, have you?"
"You!"
"Say it quickly if you have something to say! If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first!"
"You unfilial son! Did you come back just to piss me off?" With a sudden shout, the curtains of the bed fluttered, revealing the body that was deeply trapped in the bed. Even though Xiao Mian had made sufficient mental preparations, he still shuddered when he saw the body.
It was really - that was not what a person should look like at all!
The person lying on the bed at this moment was more like a pile of rotten meat than a person!
The vaguely visible human figure was not only torn to pieces, but also festering all over, with blood and pus mixed together, which was disgusting.
Nearly half of the old man's facial features had been rotten and necrotic, and his forehead even showed white bones...
If this body was left outside, it might be mistaken for a rotten corpse, but now, it appeared alive in front of Xiao Mian.
What made Xiao Mian even more difficult to accept was that this was a Yuanying ancestor!
Xiao Mian was dumbfounded, and the Yuanying ancestor was also silent.
After an unknown amount of time, a sigh resounded through the attic.
"Nantian! You are back after all! Unfortunately, it is a little late..."
"..."
"Nantian! No matter what, you are the eldest grandson of the eldest branch of my Xiao family!"
"..."
"Nantian! Grandpa did something wrong in the past. After I am old, I only hope that you can rebuild the Xiao family. At the very least, you must protect them!"
"..."
The ancestor of the Xiao family kept calling Xiao Mian "Nantian".
Xiao Mian was silent and motionless...
"Nantian! You can leave first! Remember: you must come to me three times a day in the future. If I don't see you for a day, I will miss you! Remember this!"
"..., yes!"
In the end, Xiao Mian walked out of the attic expressionlessly.
The ancestor of the Xiao family, who was lying on the big bed, had a gleam of light in his cloudy and lifeless eyes.
When Xiao Mian returned to the hall, Xiao Qingxia had already arranged a place for Xiao Mian to live - in fact, there was no need to arrange it, as there were only four people in the entire Xiao family.
The ancestor of the Xiao family, the head of the Xiao family, plus Xiao Bailu and Xiao Nanming.
Now, with Xiao Mian, there were only five people...
When he arrived at the place Xiao Qingxia arranged for him, Xiao Mian started practicing without saying a word.
That night, Xiao Mian went to the attic again as if he was familiar with the place.
The ancestor of the Xiao family chattered again and let Xiao Mian go.
For three consecutive days, Xiao Mian practiced diligently, reflected on himself three times a day, and never missed a day.
On the evening of the third day, the ancestor of the Xiao family brought a small porcelain bottle to Xiao Mian.
"Nantian! My dear grandson! Take this bottle of magic medicine!"
"..."
Xiao Mian took the small porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and drank it in one gulp.
The porcelain bottle contained a light yellow viscous liquid, but Xiao Mian didn't care and just drank it.
He didn't expect that as soon as the liquid entered his mouth, Xiao Mian trembled all over.
As a result, the Xiao family ancestor on the bed looked stern, and a green Yuanying appeared faintly on his forehead...
It was not until he saw Xiao Mian drink the liquid in the porcelain bottle that the Xiao family ancestor breathed a sigh of relief, and the green Yuanying also quietly dissipated.
"Nantian! You are really my grandpa's good grandson! From now on, you will support the entire Xiao family, and Nanming and Bailu will also be left to you to take care of..."
"..., yes!"
"Grandpa is tired! You, please leave!"
"Yes!"
Bowing, Xiao Mian turned around and walked out of the attic.
The moment the attic door was closed, Xiao Mian's eyes flashed.
In just a moment, Xiao Mian returned to his place of residence. According to the previous practice, Xiao Mian went straight into the quiet room, sat cross-legged, practiced the skills, and practiced diligently.
Suddenly, a figure passed by, with bright eyes like water, observing Xiao Mian.
After a long time, the figure disappeared.
At the same time, Xiao Mian's body trembled, and he appeared in the fairy stone with his soul.
Also appeared in the fairy stone was a ghost head in a black robe.
"Ghost old! You are too unkind! The kid was almost killed by the old ghost's mind-control technique! I almost became Xiao Nantian's substitute!"
As soon as they met, Xiao Mian complained about the ghost head.
It turned out that Xiao Mian had become a walking corpse a few days ago under the suggestion of the old ancestor of the Xiao family!
Now thinking back, I still have lingering fears!
Until the old ancestor of the Xiao family took out the small porcelain bottle today, Xiao Mian smelled the smell of the mysterious liquid, and the fairy stone in his body was self-sensed, which awakened Xiao Mian.
As for the mysterious liquid, Xiao Mian naturally sent it into the fairy stone.
Seeing the golden mysterious liquid floating in the fairy stone, Xiao Mian felt familiar, but he really didn't know it.
However, one thing is certain: this thing is definitely extraordinary!
Otherwise, the fairy stone would not take the initiative to warn!
If Xiao Mian really took this mysterious liquid without knowing it, I am afraid that for the rest of his life, he would think of himself as Xiao Nantian and work for the Xiao family!
Unexpectedly, the killer that the Xiao family ancestor used to clamp Xiao Mian became a life-saving talisman to wake up Xiao Mian. Things are unpredictable, what can we do?
"Don't look! This is-corpse oil!"
"Corpse...corpse oil!?"
"Corpse oil can confuse the mind and the mind. Obviously, the old ghost of the Xiao family is proficient in the method of bewitching the gods and the soul, and intends to cultivate you to become the pillar of his Xiao family!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Mian snorted coldly and said, "It seems that the problem still lies in Xiao Nantian's identity. That old ghost must have gained some insight..."
Let me ask, if the ancestor of the Xiao family knew that Xiao Mian was the real Xiao Nantian, why bother?
Obviously, there was a mistake somewhere, which convinced the ancestor of the Xiao family that the Xiao Nantian who came to the door now was not the Xiao Nantian who broke out a hundred years ago!
If this is the case, no matter how the ancestor of the Xiao family plans to deal with Xiao Mian, it is not too much - who let Xiao Mian pretend to be his grandson first?
"The old man said just now: Is this golden mysterious liquid corpse oil?" Looking at the golden liquid, Xiao Mian's heart suddenly moved, and then under his control, a clear and transparent glass appeared in the immortal stone. bottle, and brought it to Gui Tou, Xiao Mian asked curiously: "Dare I ask Gui Lao: What is the thing in this bottle?"
The man in black robe was still a little indifferent at first, but after he opened the cap of the glass bottle, his expression suddenly changed - so much so that his entire blurred face exploded...
