The Otherworldly God

Chapter 111

"Homeowner?"

"Yang Yan, was that Zuo Si just now? What are you doing here so late?"

"The tomb of our ancestor Xiaotian has been opened."

"Yang Yan, you won't..."

"Master, the Heavenly Sword has been stolen."

Le Zhenghe was stunned, and he took the opportunity to escape.

Le Zhengzhi only found out about it afterwards. Fortunately, Le Zhenghe just said that they had discovered the tomb robbers and went to chase them.

He knew that Le Zhengzhi, Le Zhengyangyan and Le Zhengzuosi were very good friends despite being of different generations. It was only after he returned to his hometown with Bai Zhi that they started behaving abnormally.

Le Zhengzuosi would often ask him about the ancient war, both openly and covertly, so he called Le Zhengzhi over and the two of them had a face-to-face chat.

Facing Le Zhenghe, Le Zhengzhi, who had kept the secret at first, also refuted Le Zhenghe's remarks about Le Zheng Xiaotian betraying the Taoist Alliance.

This rebuttal hit the mark exactly what Le Zhenghe wanted. Le Zhengzhi knew he had lost, so he obediently confessed everything.

"Yang Yan said that the Heavenly Sword was stolen, but there was no Heavenly Sword in the tomb. There was only a book. There were many paintings on it, depicting the beautiful scenery of this world."

"Homeowner?"

Yue Zhengzhi wondered how he knew what was in the tomb.

"This is the family head's secret, passed down from generation to generation, just to give this book to someone one day. The ancestor once made an agreement with someone to go see thousands of mountains and rivers together, but unfortunately the ancestor forgot, and when he remembered, the person was no longer there. The Repentance Hall is him repenting for this matter, and the paintings in the book are the ones he drew in the Repentance Hall, one stroke at a time. They are the thousands of mountains and rivers he has seen."

Yue Zhengzhi thought he knew the truth about the ancient war, but unfortunately he only knew this.

"It's hard to say, so this is the only thing that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it was passed down orally by the head of the family."

Yue Zhengzhi was shocked and quickly refused: "Then why did you tell me that? I am not the head of the family."

After hearing this, Le Zhenghe smiled and said, "You are not suitable."

"Isn't it?" Although he was joking, Le Zhengzhi quickly became serious and asked, "Who do you think is the person who came to steal books with the Heavenly Sword?"

"After a thousand years, the Heavenly Sword has appeared again and has come to Jimen Pass. I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. It won't last long."

Yue Zhengzhi knew very well what he was talking about. No matter which prophecy of the goddess Zijin was true, with the appearance of the Heavenly Sword, the day of the prophecy's fulfillment was not far away.

"The Heavenly Sword has appeared many times in history, but the prophecy did not come true, and it may not happen this time either."

"But historically, the tomb of our ancestor Xiaotian has never been robbed."

Many years later, Le Zhengzhi still can't help but sigh when he thinks of this.

"After all these years, whether Ah He is alive or dead, if he is still alive, why doesn't he come back to find us?"

"I don't know how Yang Yan is doing."

"Yeah, that brat didn't even tell me about it the last time he came back."

"Maybe I can't tell. Think about it, the ancient war happened thousands of years ago, you can't be the only ones who doubted it."

"There are only a few families left in this alliance from the ancient war, and Le Zheng is one of them. After thousands of years, it seems that Le Zheng is competing with someone in this Jimen Pass. Perhaps, it is just to one day wash away the crime of being a traitor to the human race in the ancient war."

"Ah Qin doesn't know about this. If he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree."

"He was also thinking about Le Zheng. We don't even know who we are competing with, so how could he ignore the thousands of lives of Le Zheng and his men?"

They seemed to be talking about different things.

"Ah He's son is now seventeen years old. Time flies."

Bai Zhi had tears in her eyes when she said this.

"Has the lady ever blamed me?"

"You also couldn't have predicted that I couldn't have another child. How could I bear to hand over Banxia's son?"

The child in Banxia's belly was a posthumous child. Le Zhengzhi thought that he and Baizhi could have another child, so he exchanged his own son for Le Zhenghe's son and sent him far away to be raised by an outsider. Unexpectedly, Baizhi got sick later and could not have another child, and he always blamed himself for this.

"Lin'er is now the young master of the East Sea Pavilion. Nangong Haoyue has trained him well."

Bai Zhi wiped her tears and said with relief: "Finally our efforts were not in vain. You have worked hard over the years."

"I was just pretending to be crazy. If it weren't for the alcohol remedy my wife gave me, I would have been ruined by drinking."

"This is also to protect both you and me."

"I took advantage of your illness and lied about having a difficult labor, giving birth to a stillborn baby. I lost my beloved son and had to get drunk all day, pretending to be crazy and stupid, so that I could survive in Lezheng. But this kind of life won't last long."

"Speaking of this, are you pretending to be confused? Since you have taken the risk to accept the three of them, why haven't you taught them any magic in the past few months?"

Bai Zhi also knew how thrilling this marriage proposal was. Although the result was safe and sound, just hearing about it made her feel worried.

"Alas, I have spent so much time and effort to recruit them. How can I teach them now that Le is right under their noses? Besides, if I teach them, won't I be exposing myself? Won't I put everyone in danger?"

Bai Zhi knew that he still had to consider his own safety, and she couldn't say anything to make him give up this idea.

"The three of them are fine, but it's really difficult to teach them." Bai Zhi thought about it and suddenly smiled: "Isn't Yuhua going to get married?"

"Yeah, what does it matter?" Le Zhengzhi didn't understand what she meant at first, but suddenly he remembered it, clapped his hands, and said, "How could I forget that once Yuhua gets married, she can live outside the compound legitimately. It will be much easier to teach them then."

At this time Bai Zhi frowned and shook her head again.

"Yuhua has not made any contribution to Lezheng yet. It will not be easy to get Lezheng to fund the construction of a new mansion."

"They can't let Miss Mu live with us in Sanyeju, right? Even if the new mansion doesn't work, there are still many vacant Lezheng properties outside, and it wouldn't be a problem to give them one."

"Those small houses are crowded with people. How can you study the Fa? You can't just sit around a table with a pen and paper to study, right?" Bai Zhi fell into deep thought. Le Zhengzhi's brain was a mess, and he didn't know which direction to think. Suddenly Bai Zhi smiled and said, "There is a place that is very suitable, and it must be what Miss Mu wants."

Le Zhengzhi thought about it, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what Bai Zhi was talking about. After taking a look at her expression, he slapped his head.

"There is indeed such a good place, but I wonder if Junior Sister Fang is willing to leave it?"

"Whether you are willing to give it up or not depends on you."

Although Le Zhengzhi understood her intention, he also knew that it would be difficult to obtain the villa. So he did not explicitly agree, nor did he explicitly refuse, but just said that he would try it when he had time, and Bai Zhi did not force him.

The two chatted for a while before lying down to sleep. It was almost dawn.
