"Grandpa, what is this?"
Although Huo Yu already had the answer in his mind, he still couldn't help but ask.
"My surname is Huo, do you know which Huo it is?"
Huo Yu quickly looked serious and said with pride: "Of course I know, the champion Hou Huo Qubing is 'Huo'!"
Mr. Huo nodded slightly and looked at the painting: "This is the champion, this is his real portrait."
Huo Yu turned his head and looked at the young general in the painting.
The next second, Huo Yu asked hesitantly: "Grandpa, this is impossible, this kind of painting..."
It's not that Huo Yu doubts his old man, the main reason is that the painting method of this portrait is obviously realistic, and ancient Chinese paintings are generally freehand style.
Moreover, the ink marks on the painting are very heavy. It is not the ink painting used in China at all, but the Western ink painting.
"Nothing is impossible. This is a painting painted by a foreign painter for the champion." Mr. Huo said calmly, "The champion in the history books is not complete. The real champion is better than the champion in the hearts of the people." great."
Huo Yu remained silent. After the battle on Dinosaur Island, he naturally understood that the ancestors of this world were not that simple.
Hou, the champion in his previous life, died young and did no other earth-shattering things except sealing the wolf as Xu.
But the champion of this world only died young in the history books, while the real person lived for many more years and did no great things.
Mr. Huo looked at the painting and continued:
"The champion Hou Fenglang lived behind Xu and led his army all the way north, directly hitting the far north."
"The grassland believes in the wolf totem. After the champion conquered the grassland, the white wolf god surrendered and was willing to follow him and become the champion's help."
"The West, which had not yet developed at that time, also expressed its surrender to him. This painting is the work of a foreign painter follower of Champion Hou. This is recorded in the genealogy of our Huo family."
Mr. Huo glanced at the little fish next to Huo Yu, was silent for a moment and said: "The theory of gods and ghosts is not credible. I suspect that the wolf next to the champion is the Arctic wolf."
Huo Yu was speechless for a while.
The theory of the White Wolf God is indeed too ridiculous, but if the wolf next to the champion is an Arctic wolf, it would actually be even more horrifying.
Arctic wolves live in the Arctic Circle. If the champion can subdue an Arctic wolf, it means that he has entered the far north of Russia.
Only there can Arctic wolves exist.
With the scientific level of the Han Dynasty at that time, even entering the outer reaches of the Arctic Circle in summer was a task more difficult than climbing to the sky.
"The champion was very pessimistic in his later years. As for what he experienced, even the documents handed down by our Huo family have no record of it."
Mr. Huo said with some regret: "The only thing we can know is that the Champion Marquis must have encountered something in the north to make his temperament change drastically."
"Xiaoyu." Mr. Huo looked at Huo Yu, "If you and the champion do the same thing, then you must pay attention."
"Your enemy may be more powerful than you think."
"Grandpa, I..."
Huo Yu was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Mr. Huo.
"Don't tell me, I don't want to know either. You need to abide by the confidentiality regulations. I still have this awareness, old man."
"When you joined the Ice Keepers organization, the reason why I strongly supported it was because that was probably where the Huo family's mission lay."
Mr. Huo looked at Huo Yu seriously: "Remember, the Huo family has been passed down for thousands of years and still has some background. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you must let grandpa know."
Huo Yu was moved and nodded firmly to show that he understood.
"There is one last thing I want to give to you."
Mr. Huo walked to a small box, opened the white cloth, and took out an object.
It was an extremely inconspicuous stone sculpture. Perhaps it was too old, and its surface was gray, making it look like an ordinary broken stone.
But Huo Yu recognized the unusualness of this stone sculpture at a glance.
The shape of the stone sculpture resembles a towering mountain.
After Huo Qubing's death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed him to be buried with Maoling. He also ordered that Huo Qubing's tomb be built to look like the Qilian Mountains to show his miraculous achievements in defeating the Huns.
It can be seen that the mountain carved with stone is the legendary Qilian Mountain.
Huo Yu thought about it and took the Qilian Mountain stone sculpture from the old man's hand.
The moment you touch the stone sculpture, the system prompts:
"Ding! It has been detected that the system is missing space props, and it is trying to integrate with the system. The time required is undetermined."
At the same time, under the gaze of Huo Yu and the old man, the stone sculpture instantly turned into a shadow and disappeared into the air, and no trace of its existence could be found anymore.
Huo Yu glanced at the old man awkwardly.
The old man's mouth was slightly open, and the beard under his chin was trembling slightly. He was obviously in shock.
Huo Yu quickly tried to explain: "Grandpa, listen to my explanation."
"No need to explain." Mr. Huo suddenly reached out to stop him, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask, but don't make up lies to deceive grandpa."
He paced back and forth in the secret room excitedly and continued:
"That's right, that's right."
"The ancestors taught that Baoshan should be handed over to the best descendants in the past generations. If the descendants cannot resonate with Baoshan, they should be handed over to the eldest son for safekeeping."
"Our Huo family has been inherited for thousands of years, and no one has ever been able to resonate with Baoshan. Only you succeeded."
"Hahaha, my grandson, Huo Chengzhi, is the most outstanding descendant of the Huo family!" Mr. Huo laughed maniacally.
Huo Yu secretly clicked his tongue.
According to what the system just said, this stone sculpture was probably once part of the system, but was lost for some reason.
Therefore, it's not that those Huo family members are not good enough. The reason why they didn't resonate is just because they didn't die!
A few minutes later, Mr. Huo regained his amiable expression and pretended that nothing happened:
"Let's go, your grandma should start cooking. She has your favorite pot-wrapped pork."
The serious old man instantly returned to his kind form. Although the worry buried in his eyes was not less, there was also a bit more expectation.
Huo Yu was still in a daze until he walked out of the study.
The main reason is that the amount of information the old man said is too large and it takes some time to digest.
What frightened Huo Yu the most was that he had an intuition that there might be a connection between his ancestor, the champion, and the Ice Keepers organization.
And the enemy that even the champion has never defeated, the enemy that makes even his old man feel despair, is just how terrifying.
Although Huoyu was in the calm imperial capital, he felt a sign of an impending storm.
The enemy is getting closer and closer to me!
