Chapter 1371
Words from the heart.
When talking about Chen Dong, Elder Zhuge looked grateful and solemn, and even his eyes, were extraordinarily awe-inspiring.
“Grandpa, how on earth did Mr. Chen do that?”
Zhuge Qing knelt on the ground, bewildered and puzzled.
He could be certain that the person who worshipped the mountain was not Chen Dong.
Chen Dong was still flying in the air on his way back to Xishu from the desert north.
The other party, in a domineering and brutal gesture, directly returned the Zhuge family’s long-stolen “Divine Ghost Eight Formation Diagram” today, and pointed it directly at Chen Dong.
What is the connection between the two ……?
“Don’t speculate.”
Zhuge senior looked stern and glared at Zhuge Qing, scaring him into hastily ducking his head and avoiding his gaze.
In a whirlwind.
Zhuge senior raised his eyes and said in awe, “Mr. Chen is a true dragon that soars to the ninth heaven, will not allow my Zhuge family to speculate at will, such a person who is like a god, my Zhuge family has ushered in this kind of prosperity that is comparable to that of the old ancestor Kong Ming simply by being from the dragon, so …… then cling on well. ”
“From today onwards, Zhuge Family and Mr. Chen, life and death together, one glory, one loss!”
Boom!
Zhuge Qing’s body shook, and a frightened look appeared on his evil and handsome face.
Not waiting for him to speak.
Elder Zhuge then turned around and looked down towards him.
“Qing’er, grandfather is old and I’m afraid his days are numbered, the future Zhuge Family will be taken over by you, so today grandfather needs you to take a look.”
Master Zhuge raised his hand and slowly placed it on the top of Zhuge Qing’s head, saying solemnly, “In front of Old Ancestor Kong Ming and the ancestors of the Zhuge Family, you swear that the Zhuge Family is in your hands, and that no matter how the future changes, the Zhuge Family will follow Mr. Chen to the death and will not disobey him, or else heaven will strike five thunderbolts, and grandpa’s soul will not enter hell and will never be allowed to live again! ”
Zhuge Qing’s face turned blue and red, and his heart beat wildly.
This was a poisonous oath to swear on the luck of the Zhuge family and grandfather’s past life!
“Grandfather ……”
Zhuge Qing looked sad and pleaded.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Elder Zhuge’s harshness.
“If you do not take this poisonous oath, grandfather will immediately crash to death in front of the ancestors of all generations, and this Zhuge family will be yours to take!”
Zhuge Qing was startled and grabbed Elder Zhuge’s hand in a panic, no longer hesitating.
“Grandfather, grandchildren take this poisonous oath!”
“Good, grandfather watch and listen, the ancestors of the Zhuge family of all generations are above, and the gods of mankind will see to it.”
Elder Zhuge took away Zhuge Qing’s hand and slowly put his hands behind his back.
Zhuge Qing slowly turned around, knelt towards the ancestors of the generations within the clan ancestral hall, raised his right hand, and raised three fingers.
“I swear to the ancestors of the Zhuge Family that I will follow Chen Dong to the death, and that I will not go against him.
The words were strong and resounding.
At the side, Elder Zhuge’s complexion eased and he looked at Zhuge Qing with relief.
“Qing’er, it’s not that grandpa is ruthless, but he knows that the higher you stand, the more you see, and sometimes you are more easily blinded by your desires, so for the sake of the future of the Zhuge Family, this is the only way. I can’t see what the Zhuge Family will look like when you take control of it, but I know that the effort it takes for a young eagle to take wing and soar to the skies is far greater than following a true dragon!”
This was the thought in Elder Zhuge’s mind.
He wanted to take this day to completely wear away the last trace of arrogance in Zhuge Qing’s heart.
Otherwise, in the future, after he became ancient, the fate of the Zhuge Family would be difficult for him to determine.
The lord of Western Shu, with his hands in the sky, would inevitably have inflated desires, and he was unwilling to place the family’s fate in uncertainty once again.
Nor did he dare to gamble on whether Zhuge Qing’s choice of Chen Dong in the future would be a good one, or a bad one.
It was only by grinding away the unruly aura that the Zhuge Family could blossom into a brighter and more dazzling light under Chen Dong’s wings in the future.
“Qing’er, throughout the dynasties, the civil and military generals at the opening of the country, it is not how powerful they were, but they stood on a good platform and followed the one who could eventually become a king, that is why …… they left their name in history, this is called the king who became a king and the knave who lost.”
Elder Zhuge slowly taught, “The king and the marquis would rather have a seed, anyone can shout, but no one is clear, whether they have the qualification to shout this phrase or not, when it is not clear, choose to follow the person who already knows the qualification to shout this phrase, it is not a bad thing.”
Zhuge Qing knelt on the ground and looked at the ancestral tablets within the clan ancestral hall with a complicated expression, his lips mouthing a faint smile.
“Grandfather, Qing’er understands, in the future, the Zhuge Family will bow down to Chen Dong and follow him to the death, as long as Qing’er is here, this choice of the Zhuge Family will not be changed.”
……
When the plane landed at the airport in Xishu, it was already the moon on a high building.
When Chen Dong stepped out of the airport, he saw Zhuge Qing standing next to the car.
Only when he got closer did he realise that Zhuge Qing looked a little strange.
Especially the look Zhuge Qing gave him, the kind of awe that surpa*sed any other time in the past.
“Mr. Chen, grandfather is waiting for you at home.”
Zhuge Qing bowed in salute.
“It’s so late, and the old man hasn’t gone to bed yet?”
Chen Dong rubbed his nose and looked at Zhuge Qing suspiciously, “Did something happen during the two days I went to Desolate North?”
“That is also the reason why grandfather is waiting for you.”
Zhuge Qing was respectful and reverent, when the poisonous oath was issued during the day, his attitude towards Chen Dong was completely transformed.
In the past, it was merely a tendency to respect for profit, but now …… it was a complete and utter awe after sincere submission.
The two seem the same, but in reality they are very different.
The former comes for profit and can also go for profit, while the latter …… is life and death together!
Back at the Zhuge Family Manor.
Chen Dong got out of the car and was slightly stunned.
The Zhuge Family’s lights stretched out in a spectacular manner.
Yet it was very different from what he had expected of the recent Zhuge Family.
There was no hustle and bustle, no crowds, not even …… the slightest hint of festivity.
“Your Zhuge Family has forged its position as the hegemon of Western Shu and no one is congratulating it?”
Chen Dong couldn’t help but ask.
Zhuge Qing said embarra*singly, “Grandfather has closed his door to welcome Mr. Chen.”
Closed the door to thank the guests?
Chen Dong’s brows wrinkled for a moment, “At this juncture, thanking guests would be offending people.”
“Grandfather is waiting for Mr. Chen at the Zhuge Family’s clan ancestral hall.”
Zhuge Qing made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Dong nodded, so he followed Zhuge Qing all the way towards the clan ancestral hall.
Although he was puzzled as to why Elder Zhuge would be waiting for him at the clan ancestral hall in the middle of the night, he did not ask more questions.
The night was dark.
In the bamboo forest, it was pitch-black, and the night breeze rustled the leaves.
It was quiet, still, desolate, and even a little ominous.
Only the clan ancestral hall glowed through.
Chen Dong followed Zhuge Qing into the ancestral hall, and the air was thick with the smell of incense.
Inside the lobby of the ancestral hall, the lights were bright.
As he walked forward, Chen Dong looked out at everything inside the clan ancestral hall and could not help but secretly smack his lips.
On the main stage of the gods, there were ladders and ladders of spiritual tablets on display, while at the very back, a stone statue of a feathered fan towered over them.
A lineage that has been pa*sed down for a thousand years, even if it is a clan shrine, it is shocking enough!
Chen Dong sighed with emotion in his heart, and as he followed Zhuge Qing into the lobby of the clan ancestral hall, Elder Zhuge, who had been standing in front of the divine main platform, finally turned around.
There was a poof!
When Chen Dong was caught off guard, Elder Zhuge straightened up and knelt down on the ground.
“Zhuge Family, kowtow to Mr. Chen for his great kindness.”
Chen Dong: “……”
He was completely unaware of what was happening.
Immediately, he went forward to support Elder Zhuge: “Elder, no merit, I have done nothing, your old man kneeling to me, a junior at such an old age, is torturing me.”
“Didn’t do it?”
Elder Zhuge and Zhuge Qing simultaneously uttered in surprise.
Chen Dong looked bewildered.
Immediately, Elder Zhuge pointed to the wooden box sprawled across the God Lord’s platform, “The Eight Formation Diagram of Gods and Ghosts is the one you sent back, Mr. Chen.”
“The Eight Formation Diagram of Gods and Ghosts?” Chen Dong was stunned.
“Yes!”
Master Zhuge’s old eyes were filled with tears as he sighed with emotion, “This is the foundation of my Zhuge Family’s continuity. Back then, it was tragically poisoned by the Thief Sage Xu Qingfeng and disappeared into obscurity, causing my Zhuge Family to fall into ruin. Today, thanks to the blessings of Mr. Chen and the blessings of the ancestors of the Zhuge Family, it has finally returned to my Zhuge Family!”
Boom!
Elder Zhuge’s words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Chen Dong’s body tensed up violently, his eyes widening in horror as he exclaimed, “Another Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng?”
Chapter 1372
“Again?”
Under the bright lights, Elder Zhuge and Zhuge Qing revealed a look of consternation at the same time.
Chen Dong’s brows were knitted together with a complicated expression.
The name of the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng had been heard more than once.
Even Zhao Breaker, was the heir of Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng.
Chen Daogun and Wu Chang had racked their brains countless times trying to find a gap in Zhao Broke-Ru and explore the whereabouts of Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng.
Now …… this being was again involved with the Zhuge family.
In a trance, Chen Dong was longingly looking forward to meeting this legendary Thief Saint!
Chen Dong returned to his senses, rubbed his nose and said awkwardly.
“Sorry old man, I have indeed heard of the name of the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng long ago, that’s why I exclaimed just now, but ……”
He pointed to the wooden box where the “Eight Divine Ghost Formation Diagram” was placed, “This Divine Ghost Formation Diagram really has nothing to do with me, I am still in the north of the desert.”
“But the person who worshipped the mountain said straight away that it was related to you.”
Elder Zhuge solemnly took out a roll of rice paper from his bosom.
It was clearly the same paper that, during the day, had pierced through the beams of the room with one paper.
After unfolding it, Chen Dong looked at the handwriting on the rice paper with deep concentration, doubts spreading like wild gra*s in his mind.
“If you are told to kneel, you must kneel, such great kindness, thank Chen Dong, not me!”
In a few simple sentences, the former manifested dominance, and Chen Dong could even make up a mental picture of the scene, and could not help but smack his lips a little.
The latter words, on the other hand, left him puzzled.
The next second.
“Qing’er, don’t kneel down yet?”
Elder Zhuge spoke in a solemn and deep voice.
As if he had expected this, without hesitation, Zhuge Qing knelt down on both knees, while raising three fingers on his right hand.
Suddenly, he opened his voice and repeated the poisonous oath he had made in front of the ancestral shrine in front of Chen Dong.
Chen Dong was utterly baffled, and at this moment sanity forced down the elated excitement in his heart.
“Which divine teammate is this a divine a*sist from?”
This was the thought in Chen Dong’s mind.
All along, his relationship with the Zhuge Family was not really considered a subordinate master-servant relationship in the true sense.
All the world was bustling with profit, and all the world was bustling with profit.
This was the relationship between him and the Zhuge family.
From the very first moment they came together until this moment, this was the case.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Chen Dong knew this very well.
That was why, after receiving the support of the Zhuge Family, he had not been stingy in sending benefits to the Zhuge Family.
Not only the Zhuge Family, but also Zhou Yanqiu and Zhou Zunlong, who had shown up to support him on his father’s birthday, he did not begrudge them any benefits.
With the Zhuge Family’s heritage behind him, a family that stretched back a thousand years, being able to submit to him gave him a voice in Western Shu, so when the Qin Family underwent a dramatic change, he also took the opportunity to propel the Zhuge Family to the position of the number one powerful family in Western Shu.
Even after Qin Ye and Qin Xiao Qian took control of the Qin family, this position had never been shaken by the Zhuge family.
And this time, forging the Zhuge Family’s dominant position in Western Shu, although somewhat helpless, Chen Dong had never hesitated.
With the Qin family destroyed, Qin Ye and Qin Xiao Qian badly injured and temporarily unable to control the Qin family, allowing the Zhuge Family to whale away the Qin family and make a transfer of benefits would only bring the Zhuge Family even stronger support in return.
Even at this point, he had never thought that the Zhuge Family would really be willing to bow down to him.
A great family is proud, and a great family is even more so!
Thousands of years of inheritance, showing glory in the long history, restored for a thousand years.
Such a family is untamed in its bones and blood, and is proud to be king.
The wolves may bow their heads, but the king of beasts will never do so.
Just as the snowy lion has never submitted to the Xiongnu even when it was kept in captivity, this, the Zhuge family and the snowy lion, is actually a truth.
And now …… the family submits and lives and dies together!
This is put in any power, are not even dreaming of the result!
It was just like he, Chen Dong, got it at his fingertips.
However, Chen Dong quickly snapped out of his surprise.
He did not say much, but went forward to help Zhuge Qing up.
“From now on, Chen Dong will be immortal, and so will the Zhuge Family.”
The words were heartfelt and resounding.
Since he had gained the loyal submission of the Zhuge Family, he, as Lord, also had to show his determination.
Inside the ancestral hall, the lights shone brightly.
Chen Dong, Elder Zhuge and Zhuge Qing all smiled at the same time.
Even if the future was flooded, Chen Dong and the Zhuge family would never have a half-hearted gap again.
“Congratulations, if it wasn’t for Mr. Chen’s blessing, I wouldn’t know when this foundation of my Zhuge Family would have returned.”
Elder Zhuge’s eyes were red as he looked excitedly at the wooden box and lamented.
Chen Dong followed his gaze and looked over.
He did not understand the Eight Formation Diagram of Divine Ghosts.
But for it to be regarded as the foundation of the Zhuge Family, there must be something unique and precious about it.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Dong revealed an awkward smile.
“Elder Zhuge, I have an unrequited request.”
The moment the words left his mouth.
Elder Zhuge, whose back was turned to him, as if he had already expected it, smiled and waved his hand, “Qing’er, don’t invite Mr. Chen to view the treasure yet.”
Zhuge Qing did not say much and immediately made an inviting gesture to Chen Dong.
The two of them arrived in front of the divine master’s platform, and Zhuge Qing held up the wooden box with preciousness, while Elder Zhuge’s hands trembled vaguely as he slowly opened the lid of the box.
A golden glow shone out from the wooden box as the light shone through.
Chen Dong, Elder Zhuge and Zhuge Qing all couldn’t help but look sideways.
Only when they had adjusted did Chen Dong cast his gaze into the box.
With this look, he was frozen.
In the wooden box lay a pair of scrolls, and the golden glow that had just blossomed out was due to the material of the scrolls.
The golden scroll looked like gold foil, thin as a cicada’s wing, with a pattern of stripes scattered across it.
But even if it were gold leaf, which the Zhuge family has kept well over the years, it would not be possible to have such good integrity in such a thin state.
It was as if this was not just gold leaf, but possessed a toughness and softness far beyond that of gold leaf.
“What alloy is this cast in?”
Chen Dong asked in amazement, other than the alloy, he really could not think of any other material that could have such properties.
“That is the secret of the old ancestor Kong Ming, to this day, no one in my Zhuge family knows about it.”
Elder Zhuge respectfully gave a fist to the statue of Zhuge Kongming behind the divine master’s platform, and then he carefully took out the golden scroll from the box.
With Zhuge Qing’s help, the scroll slowly unfolded, and the stripes of the design outlined on it, leapt out.
Chen Dong’s curious gaze fell on the scroll, and each stripe of the design was vivid and had not become diluted by time.
The stripes were intertwined and intricate, forming the outline of a taiji and bagua pattern, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Even Chen Dong, after gazing at it for a while, had a dizzy feeling.
He hurriedly moved his gaze away, but just a moment after his gaze moved away, he let out another gasp of surprise and fiercely moved his gaze back to the Eight Divine Ghost Formation Diagram.
The sudden astonishment caused Elder Zhuge and Zhuge Kongming to be startled at the same time.
