Chapter Nine [Tantai Qi bows his head]
The ancestral home of the Tantai family is the most sacred place for the entire family. Only the direct male members of the family can enter, and Nangong Yun can only stay outside.
The interior of the ancestral house is not luxurious, but retains a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes of life, which will naturally make people feel serious.
As soon as Tantai Mingxuan stepped here, he felt a gentle protective power. At the same time, he also saw this power falling on his descendants. Unfortunately, they knew nothing about it, which made him feel even more sad.
"The ancestral house is the resting place of ancestors of all generations, and it is also the last support of our Tantai family. The protection set up by an ancestor thousands of years ago and several ancestors hundreds of years ago has been left here to protect the descendants of our Tantai family. , you may not be able to sense it, but the power of our ancestors has been protecting us." Tantai Mingxuan pointed to one side and enshrined hundreds of memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Tantai family. These people are all outstanding people in the family, especially those who The few people at the top.
The ancestor, Tantai Jing, is said to have lived to be about two hundred years old. He was a real land god, and the Tantai family prospered because of him.
"Qi'er, and you all, please listen to me. I have been hiding some things. I don't want to subvert your knowledge. It is also a kind of protection. But now that people from that world have come to visit me, I have to explain it to you." Tantai Mingxuan's words were full of mystery, which made Tantai Qi and others' breathing stop.
I saw Tantai Mingxuan reaching out and twisting a convex round mechanism under the spiritual wall. Suddenly, the tablets changed, and then the four directions of the entire ancestral house shot out a ray of light, intertwined in the middle, forming a bright light, and finally Place a pattern on the ground and look carefully. It consists of two parts, two concentric circles, which seems to symbolize something.
The area of the inner circle of the concentric circles is estimated to be only one percent compared to the outer circle, and there are various symbols in each circle. In the inner circle, there are common species such as cows, horses, sheep, and humans, but in the outer circle, there are many strange species that have never been seen before, such as monsters and aliens.
Then, the two patterns began to rotate slowly. The difference was that the inner circle was clockwise and the outer circle was counterclockwise. The rotation speeds of the two were very different.
The inner circle rotates once, and the outer circle is slightly deflected. By the time the outer circle completes one revolution, the inner circle has already rotated an unknown number of times.
"These two circles represent the real world and the realm of cultivation. The inner circle is the real world. We represent mortals. We are not much different from cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock. They all belong to the category of mortal objects." Tantai Mingxuan introduced.
"No, this is fake, Dad, how is this possible? Our current technology is already advanced enough, why haven't we discovered such a world?" This was one of Tantai Qi's uncles, with a questioning expression on his face.
Tantai Mingxuan sneered: "Technology is the civilization system of the real world, and the power possessed by the cultivation world is cultivation civilization. The two civilizations themselves are two directions. Although the two have intersections, they are essentially two forces. .”
"Grandpa, the person you mentioned before, the one who came to demonstrate at our Tantai home, is from the world of cultivation?" Tantai Qi asked.
Tantai Mingxuan nodded, still more fond of his grandson. These sons are too stupid.
"Yes, there is a high chance that this person is a cultivator. As for that classmate of yours, he had some bad luck and was accepted as his disciple. If you want to deal with him, you will naturally offend that person... Oh, the guy named Zixu Taoist." Tantai Mingxuan explained.
Tantai Qi thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, can cultivators ignore the laws of the world?"
"That's not true. Cultivators also have rules. It can be said that although some of them will come to the real world, they will not stay for a long time. At the same time, they will abide by the rules in most cases. For example, they will not show up in front of mortals easily. , let alone deal with mortals." Tantai Mingxuan continued to explain.
Tantai Qi nodded and continued to ask: "Grandpa, are cultivators really so powerful?"
"Yes, very powerful. Our ancestor Dantai Jing was also a cultivator back then. He became famous by himself and even changed the fate of a dynasty. This gained the support of that secular dynasty and created our The Tantai family has a thousand-year foundation. But you don’t know that even though our ancestor is so powerful in front of mortals, he himself said privately that he is just an insignificant person in the world of cultivation." Tantai Mingxuan’s words made the descendants of the Tantai family Feeling heavier.
If the ancestors can only be ordinary people in the world of cultivation, then what if this Taoist Zixu is not an ordinary cultivator?
Everyone felt frightened and even broke out in cold sweat.
"Now you know how terrifying this person is. Just from the fact that he can take off a bunch of hair from us without anyone noticing, you can know that the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated. With our own hands, once we can't deal with it, , then he is a mortal enemy. When the time comes, this cultivator starts killing us, then the thousand-year foundation and incense of our Tantai family will be cut off in the hands of our unscrupulous descendants." Tantai Mingxuan said seriously, An indescribable loneliness.
Tantaiyu stepped forward, grabbed Tantaiqi's arm, and said sternly: "Immediately suspend any actions against your classmates. In addition, repair the relationship with your classmates at all costs."
"Does father want me to bow to that person?" Tantai Qi asked angrily.
"Sir, you provoked the wrong people and brought disaster to the family, and you still dare to speak harshly. Are you willing to kill the whole family?" Tan Taiyu's expression of hatred for steel hurts Tan. Tai Qi.
Tantai Qi lowered his head slumped, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xu Mengjie. The content only contained two sentences: Cancel all actions against Ge Xian at all costs. If you dare to disobey, you will bear the consequences.
Soon, Xu Mengjie, perhaps frightened, replied with a message, only a few words, but full of humility: I obey.
"Grandpa, I have canceled the action against him." Tantai Mingxuan nodded,
Then, I heard him say again: "Qi'er, don't forget your father's words. You must repair the relationship with him. A real man must be able to bend and stretch."
"Yes, Grandpa." Tantai Qi lowered his head in frustration.
Afterwards, Tantai Ao, Tantai Yu and others left one after another, but they did not leave the manor. Instead, they ordered their men to deal with related matters. They would not dare to go out until Ge Xian had the results.
Only Tantai Mingxuan and Tantai Qi were left in the ancestral house. At this moment, Tantai Qi grabbed Tantai Mingxuan's arm with tears on his face and said: "Grandpa, I also want to become a cultivator, and I never want to lose to Gexian People like that.”
In his opinion, after being from a thousand-year-old family, Gexian was just an ordinary person who was just lucky enough to be valued by Taoist Zixu. What if he... could also succeed in becoming a disciple?
"Qi'er, cultivation pays most attention to opportunities. Grandpa can understand your mood. Grandpa will immediately write a few letters to my junior brothers. They are quite capable and know a cultivator. If they can get his approval, maybe You can also step into the ranks of cultivators. Once you can become a cultivator, our Tantai family will surely prosper again. This small county town is just a swamp before the wind and rain transformed into a dragon." Tantai Mingxuan encouraged.
Tantai Qi's eyes suddenly filled with hope, as if she had seen her own bright tomorrow.
As for Ge Xian, after the "big fuss" at the Tantai Manor that night, he seemed very nervous and cautious in the following days. Sure enough, the next day, the day when school vacation began, Tantai Qi did not come to school. After asking around, she heard that she was sick, and some nymphomaniac female classmates wanted to visit her collectively.
Xu Mengjie did come, but judging from her performance, there seemed to be no flaws, so Ge Xian couldn't see any clues.
During the vacation, Ge Xian, who pays attention to details, realized that no one was following him around. Moreover, after the incident involving the injured man, no police came to investigate and question him. He gradually understood that it seemed that someone had deliberately suppressed many things and did not dare to disturb him. .
"Did it work?" Ge Xian was still a little doubtful.
He didn't really feel relieved until the senior year of high school officially started and Tantai Qi resumed classes.
Tantai Qi took the initiative to ask him to meet at a cafe outside the school for the first time. Ge Xian knew that he couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he went anyway. Only when he arrived did he find that Xu Mengjie was also there.
"Hi, classmate Ge Xian, this is the first time the three of us have met, hello." Xu Mengjie was dressed like a school belle, wearing a light blue knitted sleeveless short coat on her upper body. It was translucent and her figure could be vaguely seen. The silhouette, the lower body is in a white short skirt, with a bit of the temperament of a workplace OL, which makes her a lot more mature, like an adult.
"Why does this woman feel so much sexy and charming today?" Ge Xian glanced at her warily, nodded calmly, and replied with a meaningless hello.
The three of them had never had much contact with each other, especially before Ge Xian's sudden rise, they were from two different worlds. Even now, many teachers and classmates would not associate Ge Xian with the two of them.
Tantai Qi, who was observing quietly from the side, found that Ge Xian was not as easy to deal with as he thought. He specially asked Xu Mengjie to dress up today, just to use a honey trap when necessary. But judging from Ge Xian's reaction, it seemed that this boy was not willing to deal with him. Like this set? A bit troublesome.
"Gexian, it's not easy for us to be classmates. We are already in our senior year of high school. In a year at most, we will part ways and go our separate ways. I hope we can both cherish our time as classmates. If there are any grudges or misunderstandings, we will leave them alone. Would you like to be able to write it off with one stroke?" Tantai Qi is worthy of being a member of a big family. Xu Mengjie's beautiful eyes flashed frequently during the scene. Even Ge Xian had to admire this person. At least he has no shortcomings in his external performance, but he is too much. A little more deliberate.
He did not choose to laugh away his grudges immediately, but ordered a cup of iced coffee for himself, and then took a sip. His brows suddenly furrowed, and his eyes even became a little solemn, which made Tantai Qi opposite and Xu Mengjie next to him both It's a tight feeling in my heart.
