"You said that, do you have any evidence?" A grandfather suddenly appeared, and Tang Yue felt that no one could accept it easily.
She knew very little about Tang Jinghui's deeds. She only heard that he died by killing monsters, not due to his limited lifespan.
“Have you not practiced the art of deduction yet?” Tang Jinghui suspected that she was an ignorant idiot.
Tang Yue took out the coins and divined a fortune, which showed that the other person was really related to him and was his grandfather.
"It is not that external forces cannot interfere with the hexagrams. I have encountered such things many times. I dare not trust the divination results at this time. I hope that my seniors will forgive me."
The village chief sighed, "It's okay if you don't believe it. Come with me to my house. I'll make it clear to you. It's not good to stand outside and talk."
We are all here, Tang Yue is naturally Not afraid to go to his house.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
Tang Yue followed the village chief up the stone street and secretly looked at the underground village.
The rock wall is obviously not naturally formed, but is artificially excavated and polished.
From bottom to top, layers of caves were built, like apartment buildings in modern society.
Each floor is excavated extremely flat, up to three meters high, and becomes more spacious as you go up.
Every house has a small window with light inside.
There is a small open platform in front of the door, with various pottery placed on it. Occasionally, you can see a few high-temperature-resistant spiritual grasses planted in stone basins.
The walls on both sides of the stairs are occasionally embedded with luminous pearls or flame crystals, illuminating the entire passage.
Occasionally she would see villagers dressed in simple clothes. Their eyes were either curious or wary, secretly looking at her as an outsider.
The further you go up, the fewer the openings on each floor, and the more exquisite the furnishings in front of the door become.
There are stone plaques above the cave entrances of several households, stone lions at the door, and exquisite murals carved on the walls.
Tang Yue arrived at the highest level. There was only one cave entrance with a tall stone door inside.
There are not only stone lions in front of the cave entrance, but also a row of everlasting lanterns, which are very bright.
The village chief said: "This is my home."
Tang Yue complimented: "Your home is really magnificent." There are more windows than others.
There is no sunlight here, and the windows cannot be opened to bring in light. The smell of sulfur and smoke outside is so strong, and there is no way to ventilate.
In this case, cutting out the windows can only be done to show off.
The village chief coughed and said, "This is a place specifically for the village chief to live, not just my residence."
The stone door slowly opened, "Grandpa Tang, you are back." There was a young girl standing inside, who should be younger than her.
"Come in." The village chief entered the door first, followed by Tang Yue. ,
"Xiao Xi, bring out the best tea at home and treat it to my granddaughter."
The girl looked suspicious, "Is the outsider here today my granddaughter? ?”
The village chief said with emotion and sadness, “Yes, my family is here again after so many years.”
Tang Yue said nothing. She didn't quite believe what the old man said.
“I know you don’t believe me, so you know this ancestral hall, right?”
The front hall in the cave is not an ordinary table and chairs, it is actually an ancestral hall, with the same decoration as the Tang family’s ancestral hall Exactly the same, with more than ten generations of ancestors of the Tang family.
She can roughly remember the name of the tablet, and it matches the one here.
The difference is that Tang Jiyuan, the first generation lord of Kunwu City, was not placed in the third row, but in the second row.
There is a tablet in the first row with the words "Tang Jingxiu" written on it, which is Tang Wenhua's father and Tang Yue's grandfather.
That is the person the village chief said he was.
This is a bit strange. Although the person is still alive, he puts his tablet in the ancestral hall. Seeing him staring at his tablet, the village chief smiled bitterly,
"Everyone on the ground thinks I am dead. Over the years, I have been here like a dead person, so naturally I have to put my tablet there." Here.
However, in addition to commemorating ancestors, these tablets also have other functions. "
Tang Yue pondered for a moment, "According to people's memories, there are many ways to create illusions. Apart from this, do you have any other evidence? "
"You are not old, but you know a lot. "
"As a descendant of the Tang family, I dare not forget the lessons of my ancestors, and I never fail to practice diligently. "
"Okay, don't say these clichés. ”
A bronze sword appeared in the village chief's hand. There were no lines on the scabbard, only a golden sun pattern was carved on the hilt.
"Before I became the lord of Kunwu, my Tang family was also a long-established swordsmanship family. This is the sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Tang family - Chengguang."
Tang Yue looked at this sword. , but there was an inexplicable sense of resonance in my heart.
"The Chengguang Sword only recognizes the blood of the Tang family," the old man said slowly, "Others cannot pull out this sword. Xiaoxi is my adopted child and does not have the blood of the Tang family."
At this time, Xiao Xi entered the ancestral hall with tea and snacks.
"Xiao Xi, come and draw this sword to show your sister."
The girl put the tea on the table aside and muttered: "Grandpa, I have drawn your sword several times, and every time "I can't even pull it out."
The girl took the sword and was about to pull it out when Tang Yue stopped her, "How do I know if she really can't pull it out or is she pretending to be unable to pull it out?"
The village chief was speechless. If the girl was suspected of being disguised, other people in the village would naturally be too.
He sighed, pulled out his sword, and struck Tang Yue with a sword. The light of the sword covered the sky and covered the earth like red clouds.
This is exactly the move in Kunwu Sword - Red Cloud Transforms into the Sea.
Tang Yue blocked it with a move called Meteor Falling into the Night.
The old man had no idea of sword dueling with her. He stopped his hand and said in surprise: "You haven't practiced the Nine Swords of Kunwu?"
"How do you know that I have not practiced the Nine Swords of Kunwu? Sword?"
"If you practice the Nine Swords of Kunwu, you will definitely take this sword with Lieyang Kaitian."
Tang Yue didn't understand what this meant, but still replied: "I really haven't practiced the Nine Swords."
The village chief was silent.
Xiao Xi thought that the village chief was sad that his descendants were not living up to expectations, and said angrily to Tang Yue: "You have the Tang family's talent for swordsmanship and live so well on earth. Why don't you practice your sword well and make grandpa sad? ?”
The village chief raised his hand to stop Xiao Xi, “That’s all, don’t learn if you don’t want to learn.”
He turned to Tang Yue and said, “Do you believe that I am your grandfather?” ”
"I believe it 80% of the time."
She suddenly discovered that her grandfather was not dead, but was living a life thousands of kilometers underground without ever seeing the light of day. She really couldn't believe it completely.
Xiao Xi became even more angry, "Grandpa has proven it to you, how can you doubt him and hurt his heart? It's really unfilial."
"Okay, it's 80% correct. Yes, if this happened to me, I probably wouldn’t believe it.”
The village chief sat down and motioned for Tang Yue to sit down.
"This is Tangjia Village. Not only do I have the surname Tang, but all the other Tang family members who have disappeared above ground are here."
Tang Yue was very curious, "Grandpa, how did you end up underground? Why don't you go back? "
The other party is an elder. Even if he is not her biological grandfather, she should be called grandpa.
“All of this is related to my father, Tang Jiyuan, the first lord of Kunwu City, who found an opportunity underground and became the lord of a city.
The Tang family gained treasures and glory, but they also paid a lot. A huge price was paid" (End of Chapter)
