C62 secret chamber

"It could also be because you are no longer the blood of a pure Xiang Family. There is a rule for the descendants of the direct line of Xiang Family to marry women from their own clan and maintain the purity of their bloodline." The great-uncle leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

"No way. It's so abnormal, but didn't the books say that marriage between close relatives is unreasonable?" I couldn't help but laugh out loud. In the past, when I heard these kinds of things, I always felt that it was bullsh * tty. I thought that in this era, there wouldn't be anyone who would believe such nonsense.

"I know, but Little Xing, you have to know that our Xiang Family is far larger than what you can imagine, and there are dozens of branch family members, and there is no longer any need for us to get married. Back then, your grandfather left the family because of this rule, so he should have been the next Patriarch, but he resolutely left the Xiang Family for your grandmother's sake. We searched for him for many years, and by the time we found him, your father was already an adult, but his bloodline is no longer pure, so we no longer forced him to return to the clan." The great-uncle let out a long sigh.

"Then what did our ancestors do? They're cultivators that capture ghosts? Who is the first ranked psychic envoy? " I am filled with curiosity towards this founder. After all, he is the previous psychic envoy.

"I'm not sure about that. I only know that she was a very impressive person from the mouth, and that she single-handedly created the Xiang Family. At that time, she was at the peak of the Xiang Family. "It's just that there's no specific information or portrait, so it's passed down. However, she's a woman, that's for sure." His great-uncle's eyes shone with admiration when he spoke of the founder.

I nodded, lost in thought. After all, when a woman creates a family by herself in the old society that values men over women, her ability will definitely be extraordinary. When I watch novels and television, the one I envy the most is those handsome big sisters, and this founder that I have never met is already my goddess in my heart.

"I chatted with my great-uncle for a long time, and he told me a lot of things about the Xiang Family's past." I'll take you somewhere. " My great-uncle got up and went to the place where the peach wood sword was hanging.

My great-uncle took off the jade ring in his hand and placed it in an inconspicuous place on the wall. Then, I felt the floor in the room start to tremble slightly. Then, a crack appeared on the wall.

Inside, however, was a staircase, winding down, and I had the feeling that we had reached the first floor, perhaps even lower. An underground space appeared at the end of the stairs.

I looked at the scene in front of me in shock. It was just like the scenes in the wuxia dramas. I suddenly felt that my blood was boiling, as if the heavens were descending on my mission.

My great-uncle looked back at me and signaled me to follow. I closed my mouth and hurried to keep up with him. What I saw was a long corridor. I felt that it was similar to the haunted house I played in. It was so dark that I couldn't see what was inside. I suddenly felt scared and subconsciously grabbed the back of my great-uncle's clothes.

The great-uncle raised his hand to knock on the stone wall, and then all the lamps on the stone wall in the corridor lit up. Then the great-uncle knocked on the stone wall, and all the lights in the corridor lit up, but not the modern electric lamps. However, the strange thing is that the flame isn't our usual red color, but blue instead, a bit like a ghost fire. Furthermore, it doesn't have any temperature, and it even has some coolness to it.

"This is a blue flame made from special materials. The thing in the lamp is a blue corpse. After special treatment, it can emit a blue flame and can be used for lighting." the great-uncle explained.

"Why is it that you can't use the electric light to live? It can't be made that easily, and the lighting effect is not that good either." I curled my lips to show that I didn't understand.

"This was left behind by our predecessors. This mechanism is ingenious, similar to a lamp that will never run out of light. Furthermore, if you use real fire, you will be able to touch some mechanisms. Don't look down on this wall, if the flames or bright light that are too high in temperature come in contact with it, it will emit some poisonous gas. "

"Is it really that amazing? People from the ancient times are indeed talented. If this era were to be put into place, it would definitely be the future of our country." I couldn't help but praise and curiously look at the cave. It was so mysterious, and what was hidden inside, could it be the Xiang Family's gold and silver treasure? Didn't the big families in the TV set up their own treasure trove, leaving behind a fortune for their descendants to open up when they are in trouble?

"Follow me. There are traps everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will be beyond redemption. You are the future of our Xiang Family." The great-uncle turned his head and let out the smile of an old urchin.

I immediately tensed up and followed uncle step by step. I'm still so young, I don't want to lose face by going into the Underworld like this.

After walking for a long time, another gate finally appeared. It was an ancient stone gate, tightly shut, with complicated carvings on it. It should be some animals, and looking at them baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, it should be the design of some divine beast.

"This is a Kirin, an ancient God Beast. It is also a totem our family uses." My great-uncle looked at me and shook his head. Your grandfather and father really want to cut off all ties with us. We didn't tell you anything about the family.

"Your grandpa definitely wasn't involved in these things, but your unusualness has already determined that your whole life wouldn't be normal. Your dad brought you back in the end, which means that they already know your identity, it's just that your dad has always been conflicted, he didn't know if he should tell you about it or not, I talked to him, he said that you didn't cry when you were born, they were very weird then, you often danced in one direction, your dad didn't have Yin Yang Eyes, after your grandpa came, he found out that there were ghosts where you were looking at, and you seemed to be very happy playing with them, and then you knew that your grandpa was born with Yin Eye." My great-uncle sighed again.

"I also do not know if it is correct or not to bring you here. Even though I feel ashamed of your grandfather, for the sake of the Xiang Family, I will not regret because I have no choice." His great-uncle looked at him apologetically.
