Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 379: Starting a Fire, Sending Off the Dead, and Apologizing

[6: There is a strange fire hidden in the secret realm, ranked fifty-sixth]

[7: An altar has been placed in the soul-bearing stone vein in the Dark Cloud Valley near the White Tiger Tribe. This altar leads directly to the White Tiger Tribe. Once activated, all living creatures in the mountain will offer sacrifices to it. The person who triggers the altar will receive the power of the altar's curse, and his blood relatives and the entire clan will be cursed. Your daughter Yaoyao will soon break through the barrier and trigger the altar.]

"what?"

Fu Changsheng saw the seventh piece of information.

His body trembled.

Who is so vicious to set up this altar?

And it can also affect the whole body.

Such means.

Not everyone can perform this.

Fu Changsheng didn't have the energy to figure out the information at this time. He stopped exchanging information without thinking and drove the green dragon to fly towards a dense forest. Yu Qingru, who was standing by, saw that Fu Changsheng suddenly became nervous and didn't understand why:
"Husband, are there any powerful enemies coming?"

Fu Changsheng shook his head.

When they reached the dense forest, they directly opened up a cave and asked Yu Qingru to set up a magic array, then quickly said:
"Qingru, you guard the cave."

"Yes"

Yu Qingru had never seen Fu Changsheng so nervous and out of control before, and she immediately felt a little uneasy.

Fu Changsheng entered the stone chamber, closed the door, and immediately took out the Shadow Gate mask. He cast a spell into it, and with a humming sound, his mind fell into it, found Yaoyao's mask number, and immediately entered a message:
"Yaoyao, no matter what you find in Yinyun Valley, stop immediately and leave Yinyun Valley immediately. And pass on my clan's order that no one in the clan is allowed to set foot within a ten-mile radius of Yinyun Valley."

Cloudy Valley.

Yaoyao, who had recovered her magic power, learned that there was a barrier in the Red Flame Wolf Cave. She immediately became very interested and appeared in the cave with a flash. Fu Changlei was guarding the barrier and opened the simple magic circle when he saw Yaoyao coming.

Yaoyao's eyes fell on the dark stone wall:
"Uncle Chang Lei, have you found anything?"

While talking.

The detection array in his hand has been used.

Fu Changlei hesitated and said:
"This barrier looks a bit strange, but I can't explain it specifically."

This wisp of spiritual consciousness of Fu Changlei split from Fu Changsheng.

Although there is no Fu Changsheng's system.

But his facial senses are more acute than anyone else's.

Yaoyao was quite excited when she heard this:
"Since Brother Shitou discovered a mineral vein inside, maybe this is the entrance to a secret place."

talking.

One shot storage bag.

The jade slips that recorded the barriers of the secret realms that had been explored before whizzed out and formed a row.

The spiritual sense swept over quickly.

Yaoyao's eyes fell on a dark jade slip, and her face lit up with joy:
"found it!"

talking.

A dark jade slip.

In an instant, complex runes whizzed out and gathered together in the air. After a slight tremor, they actually condensed into a barrier.

Yaoyao's hands never stopped.

One after another, spells were cast into the stone wall in front.

hum!
The stone wall trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, similar runes appeared and surged.

It is surprisingly similar to the barrier that Yaoyao condensed in mid-air.

Fu Changlei glanced at him and said hesitantly:
"Yaoyao, this is"

"Uncle Chang Lei, this barrier is somewhat similar to the ancient barrier I broke before. However, judging from the arrangement method on this stone wall, although it is extremely old, it can be vaguely seen that it was not set up by ancient cultivators, but it also does not seem to be a formation passed down from our Great Zhou Dynasty."

Yaoyao put her thoughts aside.

Hesitantly said:
"Perhaps this is an ancient monk's cave."

"No matter what it is, we'll find out once we open it. Uncle Chang Lei, come and give me a hand!"

Fu Changlei hesitated.

No matter what is inside, they can't defend it with just the three of them. And if it is really a secret realm, once it is opened and the secret is revealed, this secret realm will not belong to them. It will be renamed and owned by someone else immediately, and they will have worked in vain.
"Yaoyao, why don't you report this matter to the head of the family first?"

"No need. We have a third-level peak Skeleton Demon Vine. Even if there are monsters hidden in the barrier, the Skeleton Demon Vine should be able to stop them. Besides, my father has already returned to the Great Zhou. It may take several months to go back and forth. The Dark Cloud Valley is right under the nose of the White Tiger Tribe. We have to fight quickly, right?"

Yaoyao is eager to try.

The secret realm in the Yunshan County fiefdom that trapped Rong Ge'er cannot be opened.

Now we don’t even know what’s inside. It’s just a barrier. It can be opened. It should be harmless.

Fu Changlei shook his head:
"When things are unclear, don't act rashly. Treasures are minor, but your life is more important. Wait a minute, I will send a message to the head of the family."

"it is good"

Yaoyao didn't continue to insist.

after all.

It doesn't take long to wait for a reply.

Fu Changlei waved his sleeves, and a Shadow Gate mask appeared in his hand, and he was about to cast a spell.

hum!
However, the Shadow Gate mask hidden in Yaoyao's storage bag began to tremble. Yaoyao patted the storage bag, and the mask floated in front of her. After a glance, Yaoyao smiled and said:
"It's a message from Father!"

She was just thinking about how Uncle Chang Lei and her father had a tacit understanding.

next moment.

After reading Fu Changsheng's message.

But his expression changed.

Seeing this, Fu Changlei also became nervous:
"Yaoyao, what happened?"

Yaoyao shook her head.

He calmed down, his eyes fell on the stone wall barrier that opened at a touch, and he gritted his teeth and lips:
"Father asked us to evacuate the Dark Cloud Valley immediately. In addition, no one in the clan is allowed to step into the area within ten miles of the Dark Cloud Valley in the future. However, he did not give a specific reason."

Obviously.

Yaoyao felt somewhat unwilling.

They worked hard to find the barrier.

And it has been determined that there is a mineral vein inside.

however.

Fu Changlei is different.

His life and death were in the hands of Fu Changsheng, so he instinctively carried out what Fu Changsheng said without any hesitation. He waved his sleeves, and with a hum, the magic circle set up in the barrier was instantly retracted. He then pulled Yaoyao riding on the Red Flame Wolf and rushed out of the cave immediately.

Fu Yongyi, who was investigating the earth veins not far away, was stunned when he saw them in a hurry:
"Uncle Chang Lei, Yaoyao, has the barrier been broken?"

Fu Changlei shook his head.

Fu Yongyi was stunned when he heard this.

Fu Changlei transmitted the message:
"This is the order from the head of the family. The others should leave this place first."

Father's order?
Fu Yongyi was even more surprised. Didn't his father return to the Great Zhou? And before his father left, he specifically asked him to take two third-level corpses to the White Tiger Tribe mountain gate for a stroll. Why did he suddenly issue such an order?

Although I don't understand.

But Fu Changsheng was like his second parent.

He always obeys unconditionally:
"Then do you still want this Wind Killing Formation?"

Since you are leaving immediately.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't accept it, but this medium-sized defensive array is very valuable.

Yaoyao gritted her teeth and transmitted:
"When father asked us to leave, it would be best to pretend that nothing had happened. In addition, there is no need to put away this Wind Killing Formation."

Why is this?

Now even Fu Changlei couldn't figure out what Fu Changsheng was up to.

However, he did not hesitate at all and said:
"In that case, that's perfect. Yaoyao, start the battle!"

The reluctance and pain on Yaoyao's face disappeared in an instant, and then became normal again.

A spell was cast on the formation platform.

hum!
However, ripples appeared on the light curtain of the formation that had been retracted, and then a hole appeared.

The group of three people rode on the four-winged red python and immediately rushed out of the hole, soaring into the sky, and left the Dark Cloud Valley at an extremely fast speed.

As soon as they leave.

A dark shadow took advantage of the closing of the formation.

Flash in.

The black shadow found a secret place and disappeared without a trace, but under his feet, a faint yellow light surged, and then a Qiuyanjia flew out from the ground, twisting its body towards it, obviously conveying something.

"Red Flame Cave?"

The black shadow turned his head to look at the tightly closed Wind Killing Array.

He moved his lips quickly towards Qiuyanjia, and Qiuyanjia flapped its wings and flew towards the north of the valley. The Qiuyanjia seemed unaffected by the fog and arrived at the entrance of the Chiyan Cave smoothly. Qiuyanjia swayed its body towards the inside.

Green sun vines hang down in the cave.

Keep the fog out.

The black shadow scanned the cave with his spiritual sense and found no restrictions or traps, so he immediately flashed in. When he reached the end, he stopped at a dark stone wall. The black shadow waved his sleeves and a formation plate appeared in his hand. It was obvious that the other party was also a formation master.

Accompanied by a spell, it was struck into the formation.

A Bagua mark rises.

There was a bang.

It fell on the stone wall, which trembled slightly but was not damaged at all:
"Enchantment?"

The shadow's eyes lit up.

He was eager to try it, but he held back. He took out the spirit mirror and cast a spell. A vague outline appeared on the spirit mirror, and the black shadow bowed and said:
"Chief, the Fu family discovered a barrier in the Dark Cloud Valley. However, for some reason, all the Fu family members suddenly left the Dark Cloud Valley. However, they did not put away the wind killing formation they had set up."

"also"

"If I remember correctly, this barrier is somewhat similar to the ancient secret realm barrier recorded in the clan."

This statement came out.

The other person in the spirit mirror began to breathe rapidly:
"you sure?"

"Nine out of ten, I guess the Fu family is probably going back to get help."

"Good, very good, Lao Wu, you have done a great service to the tribe! You will immediately take control of the Wind Killing Formation. I will report to the Grand Elder right away."

Finished.

The spiritual mirror trembled slightly.

The spiritual light faded.

A hint of joy appeared on the black shadow's face. If this was really a secret realm, it would be a great opportunity for them personally, and even for the entire tribe to rise.

Big week.

Fu Changsheng waited until Yaoyao replied and learned that everyone had retreated back to Yinan Mountain, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:
"I don't know who is setting a trap for the White Tiger Tribe."

From the intelligence point of view.

The White Tiger Tribe has become a sacrifice.

but.

No matter who it is, it is a good thing for the Fu family. Once the White Tiger Tribe is eliminated, they will have one less threat in the Eastern Wilderness.

It would be great if you could catch a big fish by taking advantage of the bait you set, killing two birds with one stone.

Also.

Once the White Tiger Tribe was sacrificed.

The hundred bell flowers in their cemetery were also obtained, which was just right for refining the Drunken Dragon Pill to solve the urgent problem.

Walk out of the stone chamber.

Yu Qingru was relieved when she saw his brows relax. She said hesitantly:
"Husband, if you have something urgent to deal with, you don't have to follow me back to the Yu family."

After experiencing the pain of losing loved ones several times, although Yu Qingru is unable to let it go, she has become more open-minded.

Fu Changsheng shook his head:
"It's okay, let's go and see Lao Wu first."

"it is good"

Yu Qingru didn't ask Fu Changsheng why he lost his composure just now. After years of getting along, the two of them had reached a tacit understanding.

Come out of the jungle.

The speed of the green dragon suddenly increased.

This return trip.

Fu Changsheng didn't want to be known by those who were interested, so when he reached the gate of Yu family's mountain from a distance, he hid his figure.

An An received news in the morning that Yu Qingru was returning from Donghuang. Although she had been promoted to the head of an eighth-rank family, she was waiting in front of the archway early. This was the first time Yu Qingru returned home after breaking through the Purple Mansion.

The elders following behind An An saw that Yu Qingru was very emotional.

This is the first Purple Mansion in their Yu family.

Everyone bowed their hands and sang in unison:
"Congratulations, Old Ancestor, for advancing to the Purple Mansion!"

At home.

The older generation has passed away.

Yu Qingru was the first generation to build the foundation, and naturally became the ancestor of the Yu family.

The Yu family was blessed with a Purple Mansion, and the clan was planning to celebrate it in a grand manner. Unfortunately, the fifth son, Yu Kun, met with an unexpected misfortune. As a mortal, the clan did not need to be too cautious about it. However, the other party had a special identity, as he was Yu Qingru's son. Therefore, although everyone was filled with joy, they did not dare to show it too much.

Yu Qingru waved her hand:
"Just mind your own business"

As he said this, he rushed towards the Patriarch's Mansion without stopping.

When the fifth child, Yu Kun, was diagnosed with no spiritual roots at the age of six, he was placed in a secular city to be raised, returning to the clan once a year during the annual grand sacrifice. When An An learned that his younger brother was not going to live long, he personally took him to the patriarch's mansion to settle him down.

"Mother, please accept my condolences"

An An accompanied him.

After entering the patriarch's mansion and closing the formation, Yu Qingru's original strength collapsed and her eyes immediately turned red.

at the same time.

Fu Changsheng, who was following beside her, also took off his mysterious robe.

An An was stunned for a moment:
"I've met my father!"

He never expected that his father would take time out of his busy schedule to come back.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Now is not the time to reminisce.

Yu Qingru and he entered the guest room one after another.

It was getting dark at this time.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and the air was filled with the bitterness of herbs.

On the bed, the sixty-year-old fifth brother Yu Kun was lying quietly, his face as pale as paper and his breathing as weak as a thread.

Fu Changsheng's impression of this son was still that of his childhood. Seeing his white hair, he found it hard to accept for a moment:
"Brother Kun"

Fu Changsheng just felt a pain in his heart.

at the same time.

Yu Kun, who had been lying motionless on the bed, seemed to have telepathy. His eyelids trembled, and he was obviously struggling to wake up, but he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

An An whispered:
"Fifth brother's body had long been hollowed out. This illness completely destroyed him. No medicine could cure him. The reason he was able to hold on until now was that he still wanted to see his father and mother for the last time."

Yu Qingru, who was standing by, had tears in her eyes when she heard this.

Fu Changsheng was also heartbroken and felt vaguely guilty.

At the beginning, he wanted to prevent the fifth son from following in Qiang'er's footsteps, so his love and care for this son was almost non-existent. He didn't even know that he had been overdrawing his body. If he had known in advance and stopped it, and then healed him with elixirs, the fifth son would have lived to a ripe old age.

Fu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

He took a step forward, sat in front of the bed, helped Lao Wu up, put his hands on his back, his fingers trembled slightly, and a faint spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, slowly seeping into the other person's body.

After a while.

Lao Wu slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes fell on Yu Qingru's face with a relieved smile:
"Mother...you are here."

The sound is minimal.

Yu Qingru nodded, her tears dried up, and she gently held Lao Wu's hand. His hand was cold and frail, as if it would slip out of his grasp at any moment.
"Brother Kun, your father is back too."

At this time, Fu Changsheng also walked around from the back to the front of the bed.

Because at this time, no matter how he transfers magic power into the opponent's body, it will be of no avail. Lao Wu has reached his last moments.

The fifth brother Yu Kun heard this.

He stretched his hand into the air. Fu Changsheng was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't reach him. His eyes were completely distracted and he fell limply into Yu Qingru's arms.

Yu Qingru could no longer hold back her sobs.

Fu Changsheng immediately took the initiative to hold his skeleton hand that was stretched out in the air:
"Brother Kun, your father is here. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell him."

Yu Kun's lips moved, and his voice became weaker and weaker:

"Father, I am useless. Not only can I not practice, but even the offspring I have are also without spiritual roots. I, your son, also want to save face in front of you, but I have always... always wanted to see you. I know you... but I have never regretted being your son."

Speaking of the back.

I can't hear clearly anymore.

Fu Changsheng was thinking about what to say when he found that Lao Wu had passed away.

Obviously.

The other party held on with all his strength, just wanting to see them again:
"Brother Kun"

Fu Changsheng's heart trembled.

Yu Qingru was already crying out loud.

Seeing this, An An also started to cry, but he knew that this was not the time for him to be sad, so he hurriedly said:
"Father, mother, please accept my condolences. It is my fifth brother's last wish to see you for the last time."

Fu Changsheng touched the cold Old Five. In addition to feeling sad, he also felt the fragility and ruthlessness of life. People live for a lifetime, and once they close their eyes, all the glory and wealth in their lifetime will become the past. They cannot be brought into this world and they cannot be taken away from this world when they die.

For a while.

The whole person has a bit of old age.

Although Yu Qingru was sad, she had expected this day to come, and she had witnessed the death of several relatives with her own eyes. He keenly noticed the change in Fu Changsheng, waved his hand, and let An An go out.

Holding Fu Changsheng:
"Husband"

"We are different from Brother Kun. He is a mortal with a lifespan of only a hundred years. We in Zifu have a lifespan of five hundred years, which means we have more possibilities. And with your husband's aptitude, you can expect a great future. There is no need to be discouraged."

When speaking.

It also carries the power of the Heart Purification Mantra.

Fu Changsheng immediately came back to his senses from his depressed state.

At the same time, my heart trembled.

He just woke up to the scene of his father’s death in his first life, and the fifth brother died in his arms. He almost went insane.

so close!

Simultaneously.

He was even more daunted by the fact that he had to go through the inner demon tribulation to break through the golden elixir.

If you are not prepared, you may accidentally tempt your inner demons, ignite the fire of karma, and die!
"Qingru!"

Fu Changsheng held the other person's hand with his backhand.

Looking at the dead Lao Wu lying on the bed, he made a decision in his heart.

Cultivate the Five Elements Space as soon as possible, so that at least the temple will be able to guide your relatives to the underworld where the temple is located in the future. In this way, even if you die, you can still live in another way!

Simultaneously.

There was even more urgency in cultivating the ancient Xuan Vine in the Five Elements Space.

prior to.

He had thought that he would live a long life.

The ancient Xuan Vine was just allowed to grow without any intention of accelerating its cultivation. Now, after experiencing the death of Lao Wu, he felt that death was not far away from him.

Closed his eyes.

Suppress the complicated and turbulent emotions.

After Yu Kun’s funeral.

Fu Changsheng called An An in:
"Have the many children of the fifth brother been properly settled?"

"Well, my son specially designated a small town as the fiefdom of my fifth brother, and it will be inherited by his eldest son. In addition, my fifth brother has six children who are not yet old enough to have their spiritual roots tested, so my son has kept them all in the clan."

"If spiritual roots are detected, the son will be the first to tell his father."

Yu Kun's wish before his death was to give birth to a child who could practice cultivation.

Fu Changsheng paused:
"Are there any posthumous children among Lao Wu's wives and concubines?"

An An shook his head.

But he quickly changed his words:
"No one has been diagnosed with pregnancy so far, but the four concubines that Fifth Brother slept with have been confined to the backyard since then. Father, what do you think?"

"Bring the people here"

An An thought that Fu Changsheng wanted to deal with these four concubines.

After all, the cause of fifth brother's death was somewhat related to these four girls.

The night was as dark as ink. In the side room of the backyard of Yu's house, the candlelight was weak, reflecting the pale and haggard faces of four women. They were quadruplets, born in a hungry peasant family. In the disaster year, ten taels of silver pushed them into this deep mansion and became Yu Kun's concubines.

After Yu Kun fell ill in their bed, the four of them were confined to the backyard.

These days.

They vaguely heard the sound of suona coming from outside the door.

this means.

Yu Kun has most likely passed away due to illness.

"Wuwuwu, elder sister, my husband is probably gone. I'm afraid. I'm afraid the master family won't let us go, and they might even vent their anger on my mother's family in the countryside. Wuwuwu. Elder sister, what should we do? Wuwuwu."

Sobbing sounds were heard in the room.

The second sister Xia He, who was sitting around the octagonal table, had already cried and fallen on the table.

The third sister Qiuju had a messy bun, with a few strands of black hair hanging down her cheeks, making her look particularly weak. The youngest Dongmei had a face full of fear and despair, with tears silently falling.

Only the eldest sister Chunlan remained upright.

She was only 28 years old, and perhaps because the eldest sister was like a mother, her brows were more resolute than the other three sisters. She seemed to have made a decision. She stood up and took out four pieces of white silk made of sheets from the bedside. She glanced at her three sisters - Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei:
“Things have come to this”

“We have only one way to go”

"Then we commit suicide to make amends. This way, no matter how angry the master family is, they will let it go. At least we can keep my mother's family safe."

talking.

Chunlan passed the white silk in her hand to her three sisters.
Xia He subconsciously shrank back and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, we really..."

The words were not finished.

She was already crying uncontrollably.

She had just escaped from that starving home and had just lived a few days of good life. She didn't want to die yet because she was still young.

Oh oh oh!
Chunlan reached out and embraced Xia He, and also pulled the other two sisters into her arms. She suppressed the grief in her heart, and gently stroked the cheeks of the three sisters and comforted them:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's go together, and you won't be alone on the road to the underworld."

"Think about your mother"

"Think about your fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth brothers who are not yet adults."

"They have finally managed to have enough food and warm clothes. You don't want them to die because of our mistakes, do you?"

This statement came out.

The second sister, Xia He, cried even louder.

Their gambling father sold them to the Fu family for the ten taels of silver. If it weren't for their gambling father, their lives would be a little harder and they would have married peasants, but at least they could have continued to survive.

That ten taels of silver.

All the kindness of giving birth and raising me have been repaid.

She didn't owe anyone anything. She started helping with housework at the age of three. She got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, and ate worse than the pigs. In that family, she never had a good day.

Why should she risk her life for this again!

After thinking about it.

Xia He stopped crying.

She took the white silk tremblingly, stood up silently, walked to the beam, tied the white silk, and Chunlan helped them stand on the stool one by one before she stepped on it alone.

"Sisters, close your eyes and don't be afraid." Chunlan said softly, with a hint of sob in her voice.

Qiuju and Dongmei closed their eyes as they were told, tears streaming down their cheeks.

Only Xia He did not shed tears at this moment. She only heard her own heartbeat, as if reminding her that she did not want to die and she could not die.

At the moment when Chunlan, Qiuju and Dongmei kicked the stool away, Xia He suddenly jumped off the stool, and the white silk slipped from her neck. She collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and tears finally burst out of her eyes. She watched the bodies of the three sisters swaying slightly in the air, her heart was broken, but she was powerless.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Xia He murmured softly, her voice full of pain and despair.

She just wanted to keep living!

No matter what hardships she faces in the future, she wants to keep living.

Xia He crawled out of the room using both hands and feet.

The night wind blows on my body.

She felt herself shivering with cold.

Looking back at the bodies of the three sisters swaying in the night wind in the wing, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

The next morning.

An An came to the side yard in person early in the morning. A simple magic circle was set up in the yard. Nanny An was in charge of guarding the door. When she saw An An coming in person, she hurried forward to salute:

"Meet the Master"

"Well, how's the situation in there these days?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the four An family members came out to get their three meals a day as usual. Although they looked a little haggard, there was no major movement."

As for the crying of An and the others, she thought it was normal.

only.

Compared to the previous days, she cried even harder last night. I guess she knew she would be held accountable and was afraid.

"Well, open the door."

"Yes, Master"

Nanny An opened the formation and led the way personally.

however.

When I entered the yard, I found that the door of the wing room was open, and three hanged corpses were floating in the wind.

"Oh my god, this is"

Nanny An was shocked!
An An swept his spiritual sense around and found that the three people who had been hanged all had corpse spots on their bodies, and were already dead. Only the white silk in the middle seemed to be broken in the middle. One of them fell to the ground, hit his head, and seemed to be in a coma.
