C410 The Old Ancestor
C410 The Old Ancestor
During this time, Loong Aotian didn't say anything, and Ye Kai didn't say anything either.
Just like that, one old and one young man, one in front and one behind, walked with great tacit understanding.
It had to be said that this manor was really too big. It was so big that Ye Kai had a feeling that this wasn't a manor, but a tourist attraction with a scenic scenery.
The two of them walked to an extremely spacious vineyard before Loong Aotian stopped in his tracks.
It was strange to say that it was already late autumn, let alone grapes. Even if it was the vineyard, it would probably have withered and collapsed, right? But this place was like a large greenhouse. The unique fragrance of grapes came from the front.
Ye Kai was puzzled and amazed in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show any signs of doubt.
After all, this was the Loong family, a wealthy and powerful family. Not to mention fruits and vegetables, even if there was a mirage in front of them, Ye Kai could accept it calmly.
Besides, in this world, no matter how strange and unbelievable it was, could Ye Kai's Clairvoyance Ability still be magical and unbelievable? Was there anything more amazing than the mysterious Dead World?
"The old ancestor is inside! Ye Kai, according to the rules, the people of Loong family can only enter once a month. Furthermore, in the entire Loong family, there are only a handful of people who can go in and meet the Old Ancestor. They must also be people with authority like me, the head of the family. I went to see the old man a few days ago, but I can't go there anymore. You can go on your own. Remember, the old ancestor is a highly respected man, the only wise man in the martial world. You must not be rash!"
Loong Aotian didn't have the slightest bit of ridicule on his face. He told Ye Kai seriously.
"Uh... Uncle Loong, speaking of which, why do you want me to go and meet the old... ancestor?"
Ye Kai blinked his eyes, but he didn't know the true meaning of Loong Aotian's words.
Although Loong Aotian had said that he would give Ye Kai a big gift and a great opportunity, what did it have to do with meeting the old ancestor?
"Hehe, Ye Kai, I have told you about this opportunity before. It was something that couldn't be bought with billions of gold. Therefore... Countless people, families, and forces in the world are trying their best to make friends with the Loong family. Perhaps, our ultimate goal is to get some guidance from the old man! "
Loong Aotian smiled and pointed at Ye Kai with his finger.
"So, trust me, as long as your luck is not too bad... Or perhaps it was too much of an eyesore. This time, he was here to meet the old ancestor. I will definitely not let you down! Also... take this and ask the old man if he knows the meaning of the hidden map. Now, go in!"
After saying that, Loong Aotian waved his hand and stopped chatting with Ye Kai. He gently pushed Ye Kai into the grape shelf that was not locked but was far more secure than any lock in the world. He stood there with a calm and composed expression.
Ye Kai could not refuse the kindness of others anymore. He smiled at Loong Aotian and walked inside.
In this vineyard, Ye Kai did not discover any signs of artificial interference. Instead, some bees and butterflies were flying around non-stop, just like the spring season, the most beautiful scenery in the wilderness.
Ye Kai did not dare to activate the Clairvoyance Ability again. Firstly, it was the respect he had for an elder. It was also the respect he had for the only remaining sage that Loong Aotian had mentioned. Secondly, Ye Kai felt more and more that although the Clairvoyance Ability was invisible and invisible, it could not be touched. But if it was an expert, especially one who had such a mysterious and sensitive feeling... It was very likely that he would be able to sense it.
This ancestor, who was the only one left, must be an expert who swept the land like a monk from Shaolin Temple. Therefore, Ye Kai consciously kept the Clairvoyance Ability.
In any case, he didn't come here to fight.
"Ancestor, this disciple is sincerely kowtowing. It's only because of one thing that I request of you. Please lower yourself to meet me!"
Ye Kai was carefully observing his surroundings when he suddenly heard a hurried voice coming from in front of him.
This voice seemed to come from an old man. Moreover, there was a trace of sobbing in the voice. Apparently, the owner of the voice was extremely anxious and anxious.
Looking at the source of the voice, Ye Kai found an old man wearing a long robe and a white beard not far from him. He was kneeling there with a frown on his face.
This old man had the demeanor of a sage-like and otherworldly expert. However, at this moment, his white robe was stained with traces of blood, causing people to feel pity for him.
In front of him, there seemed to be a wooden hut.
It seemed like this old man had something to ask of the person in the hut. Judging from his tone, the person in the hut should be the old ancestor of Loong family!
There was no sound in the hut. The old man waited for a while. After taking a deep breath, he finally mustered his courage. He once again lifted his head to look at the small wooden house and said, "Ancestor, as long as you lend this disciple a hand, this disciple is willing to give you this order. As you wish, Ancestor! "
The old man spoke righteously, without any hint of falsehood.
"Hiss -"
After hearing the old man's words, Ye Kai couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air in his heart.
What kind of thing could make this sage-like old man not hesitate to use his own life to exchange for it? And what kind of thing could make the old ancestor in the wooden house be so cruel? To make an old man who was past his prime kneel here, and even give orders to him?
Ye Kai could not bear to see the old man like this again, so he quickly walked forward and squatted down. He supported the old man with both hands and said softly, "Uncle, what is it that caused this? But first, ask him to stand up. "
"Get lost!"
The old man scolded Ye Kai without turning his head. At the same time, he swung his arm that was supported by Ye Kai with all his strength. He did not appreciate Ye Kai's kindness at all.
He didn't expect this old man to be so unreasonable and stubborn. Ye Kai, on the other hand, felt that his nose was covered in dust.
"Cough cough... This..."
Ye Kai coughed twice and said to the old man, "Uncle, since you can enter this vineyard, ___ thought to himself, Uncle, since you are able to enter this vineyard, you must be an authoritative figure in the Loong family. Why do you have to go and beg the old ancestor? If there is anything that I, Ye Kai, can help you with, you can tell me. Who knows, I might really be able to help you."
"Ye Kai? Hmph! Kid, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, yet you still want to learn from me and help when I see injustice?"
The old man turned his head slightly and looked at Ye Kai with a look of disdain.
" Get lost! My life is mine, I can do whatever I want! Besides... if I hear that you are so disrespectful to the old ancestor... Hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The old man scolded Ye Kai once more.
" You! "
Ye Kai gritted his teeth and finally held back his anger.
Forget it, the other party was an old man. Even if he scolded him, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, he was an elder of Loong family. Ye Kai didn't want to cause too much trouble because of his "meddling in other people's business."
However, just like what Ye Kai said, he had just heard what Loong Aotian said. Those who could enter the vineyard were all people with authority in Loong family. Furthermore, there were no more than a handful of them. Such a person... What kind of place could he ask for help from others?
Moreover, this old man was already seventy to eighty years old. Yet, he still had to respectfully address the person in the wooden house as the Old Ancestor. Then this Old Ancestor... Could he be the same as the old eunuch, Wang Cheng'en, an old monster that had lived for several hundred years?
Of course, although Ye Kai had such doubts, he didn't activate the Clairvoyance Ability to take a look at the true face of the old ancestor in the wooden house.
But to make an old man kneel in front of his door, that mysterious and tall image of the old ancestor was instantly cast a shadow in Ye Kai's heart.
While Ye Kai was thinking in his heart, an extremely hoarse voice suddenly came from the wooden house.
"Humph, even if it's your old life, are you willing to trade it for it? "
The sound was like the sound of metal chisels constantly swiping on the other side of the metal wall, giving people goosebumps.
The owner of the sound must be the pillar of the Loong family that even a divine man like Loong Aotian respected. It was the Old Ancestor.
When Ye Kai heard the hoarse voice of the Old Ancestor, he couldn't help but frown. However, when the old man kneeling on the ground heard it, it sounded like the sound of nature.
A smile blossomed on his wrinkled face.
"Old ancestor, this disciple is willing! This disciple is willing! I beg Old Ancestor to fulfill my wish! "
The old man spoke loudly and respectfully to the wooden hut while being extremely excited as if he had obtained some sort of immortal pill or divine medicine.
"If that's the case, then come in!"
The hoarse voice sounded again.
"Alright, alright, alright!"
The old man immediately got up and rushed into the wooden house like a demon.
"Hey, Uncle!"
Behind him, Ye Kai shouted to stop him, but he did not know what to say.
After all, this old man was from the Loong family, and the old ancestor was also from the Loong family. What kind of agreement had they reached, and what was it for? Ye Kai wasn't sure. It wasn't a wise decision to blindly stop them.
Shaking his head gently, Ye Kai stood there quietly, waiting to see what was going to happen next.
However, the current Ye Kai didn't have a good impression of this overbearing old ancestor.
After a while, when the white-bearded old man came out, he would go through the motions. He greeted the old ancestor and showed him the oil-paper map in his hand. It was good enough to complete the task given by Loong Aotian. As for what kind of great fortune it was... Ye Kai didn't have much expectation.
"Bang!"
Just as Ye Kai was thinking about what kind of person the old ancestor was, he heard the wooden door of the wooden house being smashed into pieces. Then, a figure in white flew out from the wooden door.
