In a small, run-down courtyard in Nandu City, an old man in his sixties was lying on the bed, his eyes dull. If his granddaughter hadn't insisted on coming back to give it a try, he wouldn't have thought that this might be possible.
Wang Huaiming took the genealogy handed over by a middle-aged couple kneeling on the ground and looked at it carefully. They are really descendants of their mortal family, so it is difficult for them to find Po Yuan Zong.
Speaking of blood ties, there really is one, but judging from the genealogy, these are all younger than my 20th generation. If you really think about it, they should be the descendants left by your younger brother when he went to Po Yuanzong to take the exam. people. If calculated according to the family's bloodline, these people in front of him are really his closest descendants, but the generation gap is too far apart.
He didn't even think of asking the middle-aged couple kneeling on the ground to get up. After practicing for hundreds of years, he has forgotten that he still has such a family in the world.
When Wang Xiaoke came to find him in the herb garden, it took Wang Huaiming a long time to remember.
At that time, the Wang family was also a little-known family in Nandu City. Because of his existence, it became one of the affiliated families of the Po Yuan Sect. However, disagreements arose within the family later. Some believed that they were small in Nandu and would find it difficult to develop further. You should go out and have a try. Some people think that we should keep the family property and rely on time accumulation to leave enough accumulation for future generations.
Some family members left Nandu City. This includes people from his brother's lineage. With the separation of personnel, the Wang family who stayed in Nandu City was unable to obtain resources from the central gate and had less and less confidence to compete with other affiliated families. The line that left Nandu City was still out there and had no major development because of its weak strength. Until Wang Xiaoke's grandfather's generation, they have basically been reduced to ordinary people, not even included in the family.
Both of Wang Xiaoke's parents died, leaving only one grandfather to depend on. Originally, such a life was no matter how poor it was, but who knew that Wang Xiaoke's grandfather contracted a strange disease for some unknown reason, and the doctor said that he would not live for three years. Wang Xiaoke took his grandfather to his family in Nandu City to seek help.
As a result, although the Wang family in Nandu City is still a subsidiary family of Po Yuan Zong, basically even they themselves don't remember that there is an ancestor in Po Yuan Zong.
Although the Wang family recognizes the grandfather and grandson from the genealogy, they don't really regard them as family members. The bloodline is thin and the relationship is distant, so it is good to take them in. The middle-aged couple still kneeling on the ground were the most disliked members of the Wang family. They took in the grandfather and grandson out of sympathy.
Returning to the former residence of our ancestors, things and people have changed. It is not easy to settle down in a small courtyard that has been renovated countless times and was almost abandoned.
This gave Wang Xiaoke the opportunity to participate in the last audition test and pass the final assessment of joining through the speed test.
Because of the first night in Chuan Gong Hall, he had more contact with Zhou Fugui. Song Pingcun was not seen again after only one day. However, the fat man Luo Tuowei got closer to Zhou Fugui and Wang Xiaoke because of Song Pingcun's relationship.
Luo Tuowei told the two of them about Song Pingcun's trip to the outer sect, allowing Wang Xiaoke, who was interested, to find out some information. In addition, Feng Qifeng was a woman and was soft-hearted. After a while, he learned that there was a real Wang in the medicine hall. Through Elder Wu's explanation, he calculated the time and realm and it was very likely that he was the ancestor of the Wang family. Then he took the risk to ask around and finally found an opportunity. When I got out of the herb garden, I didn't expect that I had just sneaked over for a while and "eluded" many people, but was still discovered, so I didn't have any scruples to speak out.
This is also because Wang Huaiming's practice is too partial and his progress is limited. If he hadn't worked hard, he would have perished long ago. If Wang Xiaoke had not ventured here, he would not have remembered his fate in this world.
It also made him understand why Liu Yiyi did not directly come to receive people from the Song family. What's more, it is impossible for the Song family to have a descendant like Song Pingcun, and it is even possible that he is just a descendant of the Song family in disguise.
Of course, these are all guesses, although they are not too far off.
It was impossible for Wang Xiaoke to appear in Nandu City, and it was impossible for Wang Huaiming to find the elders of Feng Qifeng to take Wang Xiaoke out of Poyuan Sect for the sake of a little girl who didn't know whether she was really his descendant.
Although the old man in front of him looks similar to him, in fact, the gap of more than 20 generations still does not cause him to pay much attention. It is just because Liu Yiyi was moved by Wang Xiaoke's sincere filial piety in the herb garden, and also Perhaps because they were of the same gender, he came out to take a look.
Now that his identity is confirmed, as a real person of Po Yuan Sect, it is not difficult for him to help the Wang family rise again. But he had not made up his mind whether to save the junior in front of him or not. It's easy to save one, but if everyone in the Wang family is like this, what should he do?
The family was separated hundreds of years ago, and the family business has not been preserved hundreds of years later. What is the use of reviving one? And even if he is saved, he will only survive for another twenty years.
"Save it, for the sake of the little girl's filial piety." Liu Yiyi's words suddenly rang in Wang Huaiming's mind: "Unless this is the case, you will not let the young master know."
Wang Huaiming sighed and that was all. Just for the sake of my junior brother! After all, the future of the sect can be felt by oneself. I hope that these hundreds of years of cowardice can be relieved one day in my lifetime.
Looking at the old man in his 60s on the bed and the middle-aged couple kneeling on the ground, he slowly spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of majesty: "Get up. Since you are a descendant of my Wang family, I will not sit back and ignore you." .”
The middle-aged couple supported each other and stood up, their eyes filled with gratitude. He said respectfully: "Thank you, ancestor!"
Wang Huaiming waved his hand to signal them to be silent. He slowly walked to the corner and stretched out his hand. A cold and cold light emanated from his hand. In an instant, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop to freezing point.
He closed his eyes and danced with his hands in the cold light. The old man was actually contaminated with corpse poison, which is very fatal to ordinary people. Corpse poison not only damages the body's functions, but the key is that it will affect the soul over time, which is why the old man's eyes are The key to godlessness.
Removing corpse poison is not difficult for a cultivator in the realm of regulating qi, and it is not a problem for Wang Huaiming. In half a cup of tea, the corpse poison is completely eliminated from the old man's body, but he still needs time to recuperate due to physical weakness.
The middle-aged couple of the Wang family stared with bated breath, even if they gritted their teeth due to the cold, they still endured it. In just half a cup of tea, they felt like they were going to die from the cold.
Looking at the old man in front of them, the dull eyes gradually became brighter. The two of them were so cold that their teeth chattered, but smiles appeared on their faces and they still didn't make a sound.
The cold gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared on the face of the sixty-year-old old man. He could not get up, so he could only lie down and said: "Thank you, ancestor!"
There was no expression on Wang Huaiming's face: "This is the end of the mortal bond between the Wang family and me."
The man had already turned around and was about to leave. When he saw the dilapidated courtyard, he finally spoke: "Go to the Luo family to find Luo Mengkai and tell him that... Mr. Song arranged it. Don't think of yourself as the Wang family in the future."
The middle-aged couple understood what Wang Huaiming meant and did not dare to stop or demand anything. Shivering, he knelt down and said, "Thank you, ancestor. I will remember this for future generations."
