The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 329 Ancestors (4600 words)
Yin Zhong's heart was churning even more, and he suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back.

He never thought that someone could see the true situation inside his body at a glance.

Even in the realm of heaven, it should be impossible.

The heavy pressure in my heart multiplied again.

"Your Majesty, how could my second brother be at the level of a celestial being? He..." Yin Hao couldn't help but speak, full of disbelief.

Even if the one who spoke was the greatest legendary Emperor Shengwu of the time.

"Dad." Yin Tianxue stopped Yin Hao and shook his head with a serious expression.

She, Yin Tianchou and Butler Li were all confused and uncertain at this moment.

Why would a person at the celestial level go to such great lengths to hide in the Yin family?
What is so worthy about the Yin family?
"Your Majesty is indeed a man of great insight. I wonder what I have done wrong?" Yin Zhong spoke, still maintaining a saluting posture.

What he said was tantamount to acknowledging that he was indeed in the realm of heaven.

Yin Hao and his son Yin Tianqi stood there in a daze, unable to control themselves.

How could my second brother (second uncle) do that?
"Let them tell you what you did wrong." Zhu Houzhao gestured backwards and said disappointedly, "It's a pity that you are injured and the strength you can display is limited. I'm afraid you are at most at the Grandmaster level.

I can’t be happy anymore.”

As he said this, he turned his body to let Yin Zhong, Yin Tianxue and others confront each other face to face, feeling quite regretful.

He believed what Tianxue said, and he could also feel that Yin Zhong was not a good person.

It would be good if Yin Zhong was not injured.

He might as well give it a try. With his current strength, could he suppress it in one fell swoop and prevent it from escaping?

Pity.

Yin Zhong's eyes twitched, and he understood what Zhu Houzhao was thinking.

This is to test his boxing skills.

This is undoubtedly a great humiliation.

But he still endured it.

But when facing Yin Hao, Yin Tianxue and others, he put away the gifts and waited calmly.

"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here? My second brother has never left Yu Jian Villa and has never harmed the people." Yin Hao suppressed his shock that Yin Zhong was in a heavenly state and spoke anxiously.

“Dad, Yin Zhong is not my real uncle at all, he is a fake.

I invited you here today to confront you face to face." Yin Tianxue spoke up and said affirmatively.

Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi stood there in a daze again, even more incredulous.

Yin Zhong's eyes went blank, and he looked deeply at Yin Tianxue and then at Yin Tianchou.

It suddenly dawned on me that this was the case.

His emotions calmed down slightly, but he was still frowning secretly, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"Tianchou, Butler Li, you come and prove it." Without waiting for Yin Hao and his son to say anything more, Yin Tianxue looked at Yin Tianchou and Butler Li and said.

"Yes." Butler Li responded, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Master, Young Master, the Second Master is not the real Second Master.

The real Second Master is named Yin Jun, and was kidnapped when he was three years old. You know all of this, Master."

Yin Hao nodded absentmindedly to indicate that it was correct.

"This second master returned to the Yin family when he was in his twenties, recognized his ancestral roots, and changed his name to Yin Zhong.

But the real Second Master married my niece and had a son named Yin Tianchou.

It was him.

He has the Yin family's jade pendant as proof." Butler Li continued solemnly.

It was just that he had long respected Yin Zhong. This was a powerful celestial being, and he had to respect him no matter how hostile he was.

Yin Tianchou stepped forward, took out the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and handed it to Yin Hao.

Yin Hao took it with some trembling, and looked at the jade pendant carefully. His body trembled more and more, and his eyes turned red.

"Dad, this..." Yin Tianqi said in shock.

"Yes, this is the Blood Ruyi Heart.

I saw it when I was a kid, and there's no difference in the records.

Your second uncle was weak and sickly since he was born, so your grandfather gave him the Blood Ruyi Heart.

After your second uncle was kidnapped, the Blood Ruyi Heart disappeared without a trace." Yin Hao suppressed his turbulent emotions and said absentmindedly.

(There are actually many loopholes in Shuiyuedongtian, such as how Yin Zhong pretended to be the Second Master, Yin Tianchou and others' hatred for Yin Zhong, etc. I will try my best to make up for them.)
Yin Tianqi looked at Yin Zhong with an incredulous look, and in his heart he believed what Butler Li said more.

Blood Ruyi and Blood Ruyi's Heart are heirlooms of Yu Jian Villa and serve as tokens of the succession of the manor owner.

Of course he knew it, but he had never seen it.

If Xue Ruyi's heart is real, coupled with the incredible heavenly realm, then Yin Zhong...

"Kid, you really are..." Yin Hao looked at Yin Tianchou and said excitedly.

"Uncle, my name is Yin Tianchou and my father's name is Yin Jun." Yin Tianchou respectfully bowed to Yin Hao and said affectionately.

"How is your father now?" Yin Hao asked anxiously.

Without realizing it, I had already half believed it.

"My father was killed by him." Yin Tianchou glared at Yin Zhong with hatred.

All eyes turned to Yin Zhong.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Yin Hao had a complicated expression and still couldn't accept it.

Yin Zhong's expression remained calm the whole time, until he heard Yin Tianchou's words, then he showed a hint of surprise.

He ignored Yin Hao and just looked at Yin Tianchou, saying in a serious tone, "You said I killed your father?"

Yin Hao and his son were shocked. Although they did not admit it directly, this sentence already implied their tacit agreement.

Yin Zhong is not their biological second brother (second uncle).

"That's right." Yin Tian said hatefully.

"Oh." Yin Zhong sneered, he had always disdained to explain these things, but Zhu Houzhao was here, he could only endure it, and said proudly: "I was the one who kidnapped your father when he was three years old.

If I wanted to kill your father, would you still exist?

Do you think I don't recognize the bloody heart on your neck? "

(These are all loopholes. With Yin Zhong here and the strength and status of Yu Jian Villa, who could have kidnapped the second young master? Plus Yin Zhong’s impersonation, there is only one answer: Yin Jun was secretly kidnapped by Yin Zhong.

The Blood Ruyi Heart is an ancestral heirloom, which means it was passed down from Yin Zhong. How could Yin Zhong not recognize it?

He probably already knew Yin Tianchou's identity, but just didn't care.

After watching the whole drama, you will find that Yin Zhong never really killed any members of the Yin family, and the name Yin Jun was just said by Yin Tianchou and Butler Li themselves, and there are still huge loopholes.

He didn't want to kill anyone. From what he said to Doudou alone in the dungeon, "Do you all really want to die?", it can be seen that he didn't want to kill anyone, and he finally let Doudou go.

Yin Zhong is actually too arrogant, self-centered, and proud. He does not explain many things, such as Yin Haoming's death, or he simply does not take these younger generations seriously. In his eyes, they are all useless and unfilial descendants.

Most of the tragedies in the play were caused by his failure to explain.

But he does value family affection, or maybe he did it on purpose in order to whitewash himself later in the play.)
“My father was so young, why did he die?

If it wasn't you who did it? Why did you kidnap my father and impersonate him?

You faked your identity and hid in Yujian Villa. What conspiracy do you have?" Yin Tianchou was stunned and said in disbelief.

Everyone nodded secretly. Kidnapping Yin Jun and impersonating his identity was the biggest suspicion.

Even Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement and looked at Yin Zhong with interest to see how he would explain it.

“Your father died because he had been weak and sickly since childhood, and he relied on the Blood Ruyi Heart to keep him alive.

He should have given you the Blood Ruyi Heart, so he would naturally die early. "Yin Zhong said disdainfully.

Yin Tianchou's face changed, he shook his head subconsciously, and looked at Butler Li again.

Butler Li frowned, wanting to refute but not knowing what to say.

Because Yin Jun's death was indeed quite sudden and he didn't leave any words.

With Yin Zhong impersonating him, of course he would be considered the murderer of Yin Jun.

Seeing that Yin Tianchou and Butler Li did not refute, Yin Tianxue spoke up: "Then why did you kidnap my second uncle and impersonate him? Who are you?
A powerful person from heaven is hiding in my Yujian Villa. What is your purpose?"

Yin Zhongben disdained to say anything to these unworthy descendants, but when he glanced at Zhu Houzhao who was also looking at him with great interest, he snorted in his heart.

Looking at Yin Hao and the others, a half-smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Do you still remember who the ancestor of the Yin family is?"

"I am the ancestor of the Yin family, and my given name is simply She." Yin Hao managed to calm himself down and spoke, waiting for Yin Zhong's explanation.

"How many years have passed since Yin She was born?" Yin Zhong asked again.

"In a few months, it will be five hundred years." Yin Hao knew it best and said without hesitation. "Haha." Yin Zhong smiled inexplicably and said to the others, "What if I say I am five hundred and forty years old this year?"

Yin Hao, Yin Tianxue, Wei Jinzhong and others were all in disbelief once again.

Zhu Houzhao also slightly widened his eyes and looked Yin Zhong up and down: "No wonder I feel that although you don't look old, you are very old.

If you really lived to be 540 years old, you would be the third oldest bastard I have ever seen.

Maybe the fifth one.”

Yin Zhong's brows jumped again, but he still endured it and pretended he didn't hear the three words "old bastard".

He just looked at Yin Hao and the others and continued, "Yin She is my only son, born when I was forty."

boom!
It was like a bolt from the blue, and the expressions of Yin Hao and the others changed drastically.

"how is this possible?"

"How could you be the ancestor of my Yin family?"

“This, this…”

····
Several people exclaimed, and even Yin Tianchou didn't care whether the revenge for his father's murder was true or not. He was in turmoil and subconsciously questioned.

Even if the other party is at the level of a celestial being, this answer is too bizarre.

"Impossible? Why not?" Yin Zhong snorted coldly, his attitude becoming more and more aggressive, "Yujian Villa has existed for five hundred years. In five hundred years, even several dynasties have collapsed.

Why does Yujian Villa always exist and never decline?
It was because of me. I was the one who protected him in secret."

Yin Hao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Yin Tianchou asked excitedly, "Then why did you kidnap my father and pretend to be my father?"

"Why?" Yin Zhong snorted again and said angrily: "Of course it's you unworthy descendants.

How many years has it been since the Yin family produced a grandmaster?

Each generation is worse than the previous one, and each generation is more useless than the previous one."

Several people from the Yin family felt uneasy when they were scolded, especially Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi, who felt that these words were directed at them.

Those knife-like eyes stared straight at the two of them.

"Of course, there are two good ones in this generation." Yin Zhong's tone softened a little, and he looked at Yin Tianxue and Yin Tianchou, and his tone became a little excited: "This is normal, five hundred years.

It has been exactly five hundred years, and five hundred years is a cycle.

At this time, everything may change drastically.

There may be a way to heal my injury.

I had to step forward personally to make the Yin family strong again and help me heal my wounds."

"You really didn't kill my father!" Yin Tianchou murmured in panic, already believing it almost.

"These are just one-sided statements. Is there any evidence to prove them?" Yin Tianxue was the first to calm down and said calmly.

There was also a bit more politeness in his words, and it was obvious that he believed it a lot more.

"You want evidence. Okay, I'll give it to you." Yin Zhong said coldly.

The next moment, his aura suddenly began to rise.

It was like a sleeping dragon waking up.

His hair, eyebrows, and beard were growing longer and grayer.

In the blink of an eye, he changed from a forty-year-old middle-aged man into an extremely old man.

Yin Hao trembled, his legs suddenly softened, and he knelt on the ground, saying absentmindedly: "Ancestor."

Seeing this, Yin Tianqi also knelt down.

Yin Tianchou struggled for a while, but finally knelt down.

The Ming Dynasty abolished the kneeling ceremony, but kneeling in front of the ancestor was what he should do, and he also dispelled his suspicion that the other party had killed his father.

Because it's simply not necessary.

There is no need for strength or status.

Yin Tianxue also believed it, but because of her special status and this was the imperial palace, she did not kneel down.

Just a bow.

This gift represented that she truly believed.

After a salute, she looked at her husband and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, it turns out that everything is a misunderstanding. Your Majesty is worried."

"Nothing." Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly, still looking very interested: "I didn't expect the real situation to be like this.

Do you still have any doubts?
If not, then it means Yin Zhong is not wrong, and they are all real family."

Yin Hao and the other two who were still kneeling shook their heads. Yin Tianxue hesitated for a moment and also shook his head.

She actually still had some doubts in her heart, but not about Yin Zhong's identity.

It's not a problem of identity, it involves the Yin family's ancestor and the realm of heaven and man, so it can only be suppressed.

Because as your majesty said, we are a family.

"Okay, then from now on, we are still a family, but the second uncle becomes the ancestor." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Looking at Yin Zhong, he said seriously: "You are Tianxue's ancestor, and Tianxue is my wife.

Although you are not a good person, I should still call you ancestor.

"Old Ancestor, you must not harm the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"My name and title are just code names. Your Majesty can call me whatever you want. I am your Majesty's subject now.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never harm the people of the Ming Dynasty." Yin Zhong's more aggressive temperament was restrained, and he said respectfully.

"Well, I believe you." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and stepped forward with great interest, "Come, come, let me see, what is wrong with your injury, old ancestor?

That power feels so magical!
Old man, Old man Zhang, you guys come and take a look too."

Seemingly silently, two figures walked out from the void not far away. They were Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong.

Yin Zhong's heart skipped a beat, but he was not surprised.

This is also one of the important reasons why he was so tolerant and easily confessed the situation.

With his old injuries, he couldn't escape from the palace.

"Your Majesty, since you said so, Lord Zheng and I are really quite curious. What kind of power can make Your Majesty so curious?" Zhang Sanfeng said.

As he said this, he bowed to Zhu Houzhao and then to Yin Zhong.

Yin Zhong returned the greeting.

"I will definitely not let you down." Zhu Houzhao said affirmatively.

"My apologies, fellow Taoist." Zhang Sanfeng said politely.

"It's okay." Yin Zhong continued to endure it, there was nothing he could do.

The emperor wants to see it, what can he do?
The only relief was that he did not lie. In this way, with the relationship with Yin Tianxue, it would be easier for Zhu Houzhao to treat him as one of his own.

If you can't defeat them, joining the Ming Dynasty is also a good choice.

No, maybe it's for the best.

A thought flashed through Yin Zhong's mind, and he allowed Zhu Houzhao and the other two to examine his injuries closely.

Just for a moment.

"Isn't this power amazing? It doesn't look like the true energy of martial arts at all." Zhu Houzhao shouted.

"It is indeed a wonderful power." Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up, quite curious.

Duke Zheng nodded.

"Don't move yet. Let me try to see if I can force him out?" Zhu Houzhao said eagerly.

Yin Zhong hesitated for only a moment before he stopped himself.

Let Zhu Houzhao try it. If he doesn’t try it, how can he further understand the magic and power of the magic mirror?
Only when you know this will you be determined to obtain the magic mirror.

Find the Tong family.

Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong stepped back, and an incomparably powerful aura rose from Zhu Houzhao.

The golden power, like an extremely domineering sun, poured into Yin Zhong's body.

Suddenly, Yin Zhong's face showed an extremely painful expression.

On his chest, deep and hideous cracks appeared, and blood immediately soaked his clothes.

His expression became more and more painful, as if there were two giant dragons fighting inside his body.

"Huh." Zhu Houzhao exclaimed in surprise and frowned slightly.
