absurd…
The same ancestors...
Why is Huang Taiji so classy, but our Zhao family is so...
Low profile?
Zhao Yan recalled the appearance of the old eunuch, but found that his memory was blurry.
I never cared about it in the past, but now that I think about it, this is probably my great-grandfather’s ability.
At the end of the dim road, there was a hall that was already lit with lights.
Zhao Yan has been here more than once.
When my father was in power, he would come here every year to worship.
Therefore, the five brothers will also be asked to participate together.
But after Zhao Lu ascended the throne, this ceremony was cancelled.
One is that there are only two direct bloodline members of the royal family left.
The second is that Zhao Lu has no children, and Zhao Yan is unmarried.
This kind of activity, which is similar to bringing future generations to remember virtuous ministers and generals, has no meaning for the time being.
"Let's go, great-grandfather is already waiting for us inside."
Zhao Lu said something, then reached out and pushed the door open.
Zhao Yan put the lamp in his hand next to the door and followed him in.
The scene in the hall is the same as before. The thirty tall statues are placed on both sides, and in the middle is the high-spirited bronze statue of the founding emperor Zhao Yin.
But in front of the altar under the bronze statue, there was an old man with gray eyebrows sitting cross-legged on a futon.
The old man's robe was still the eunuch's clothing in the past, but it had been washed gray and even had a few patches.
His face is full of traces of time, and it would be an understatement to describe him as senile.
It is really unimaginable that such an old man could be a master of the heaven and human realm...
And from the sound transmission he just heard, it was clear that he was full of vitality, without any sense of decline.
"Here you go, sit down."
Zhao Yin maintained his posture of sitting cross-legged and did not open his eyes to look at the two of them.
However, the two futons beside him automatically moved forward and came to Brother Zhao Yan.
Zhao Lu naturally knelt down on the futon, kowtowed to Zhao Yin, and then sat cross-legged on the futon.
Zhao Yan followed suit and kowtowed emotionally and rationally.
No matter what, this body comes from the blood of the old man in front of him.
"Haha, the little guy is very arrogant and wants to lure me out by killing his brother. Unfortunately, if this trick was useful a few years ago, it has no effect now."
Zhao Yin's body remained motionless, but his voice came from all directions in the west.
Zhao Yan had imagined meeting his great-grandfather many times, but he had never imagined such a warm atmosphere.
This great-grandfather seems to be really different from other characters in the Immortal Society.
At least Huang Taiji really wanted to kill Emperor Xi...
"Since you know it's a trick, why does Grandpa still show up?"
If he had previously called him great-grandfather because he felt unfamiliar, after two sentences, Zhao Yan followed the lead and called him a more affectionate name.
"When the younger generation grows up and needs an old bone like me to help them out, what's the point of hiding them anymore."
What Zhao Yin said was very clear, but the meaning was unclear to Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan.
Give me a ride?
What's the meaning…
"What does Grandpa mean?"
Zhao Yan had some guesses, but he still dared not confirm.
"What? Those guys in Qixia Town didn't tell you everything they know?"
"Uh... my great-grandson is of low strength. I am not a land god, so I am not qualified to know much."
Facing Zhao Yin's question, Zhao Yan could only answer nonchalantly.
It's not that he doesn't want to know, it's just that the other party's entry requirements are too high.
"Hmph, the layout is so small, no wonder it can only hide in the southeast corner."
that is…
Zhao Yan echoed in his heart and waited for the next step without saying a word.
"In that case, you two come into my state of mind."
State of mind?
Zhao Yan and Zhao Lu looked at each other with confusion in each other's eyes.
But before they could exchange anything with each other, the two of them suddenly felt like their world was spinning.
Then a strong sense of dizziness struck the two of them.
When they recovered, they found themselves in a huge and majestic square.
The venue changed in an instant...
This kind of trick is comparable to "following your words".
After looking around for a week, Zhao Yan saw something unusual.
In the sky, the sun and the moon shine together, and the sky is filled with hanging rocks.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are several extremely huge waterfalls hanging in the clouds.
In the whole world in his eyes, there is only the square where the two of them are on land.
"Fifth brother...what on earth is going on?"
Zhao Lu grabbed Zhao Yan's wrist in a panic.
All of this seemed too weird to him who had never seen various secret techniques.
"Brother, don't panic, this seems to be some kind of ability of great grandpa..."
Zhao Yan is relatively calm.
But even though he is well-informed, he has never seen such a magical method.
There are indeed some occult arts that can bring others into the scope of their abilities and change the surrounding environment to a certain extent.
"Words are followed" can also achieve this effect after the caster pays a sufficient price.
It's just that this "state of mind" is not as complete as it is.
This is no longer just a change of location, but a whole new world.
While the two of them were still marveling at this, a burst of mist suddenly appeared in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, a tall and powerful military general in civilian robes appeared in front of them.
Although he was dressed in scribe's robes, his calm and dignified temperament made people think at a glance that he must be a brave and capable military commander.
The sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with majestic aura, are exactly the same as the bronze statue of Taizu in the Hall of Hundreds of Immortals.
"Grandpa..."
"Great-grandfather..."
The two men immediately recognized who the person in front of them was and saluted immediately.
"Well, this image is the most comfortable to use."
Zhao Yin held up his hands to help the two of them up with a gentle look on his face, and then looked at Zhao Yan.
"Yan'er, do you know what secret technique this is?"
When Zhao Yan heard this, his nose suddenly became sore.
Ever since his father died, no one had called him that for a long time.
He never thought that this great-grandfather he had never met would make him feel the care of an elder.
"Grandpa, Yan'er doesn't know..."
"The five senses of heaven and man are form, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Grandpa's technique is called the state of mind, but it is actually using the pupil technique to transmit the state of my mind to your two hearts in the form of five senses."
"Um...it's Tsukuyomi..."
Zhao Yan murmured in reply.
"Tsukuyomi?"
"No, it's nothing. Grandpa, please continue."
"Whatever you say, when you reach your state of mind, you can see for yourself if there is anything."
After Zhao Yin finished speaking, his body became blurry again and disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the entire mental world switched scenes in the blink of an eye.
The sun, moon, clouds and waterfalls all disappeared, leaving only the square beneath the two of them.
But everything in the Western Zhou Dynasty turned back into the imperial city.
Zhao Lu was very familiar with everything around him. It was the palace where he had lived for many years.
But the person lying on the bed was not him, but the middle-aged Zhao Yin.
This night…
A river of blood flowed outside the palace.
