Wang Chen had just sneaked back into the inn room, and had not yet changed out of his night clothes, when he suddenly felt a panic in his heart.
He turned to look out the window and saw flames and thick smoke coming from the Ling Family Ancestral Hall!
The inn where Wang Chen stayed was not far from the Ling Family. He booked an upper room on the third floor with the widest view, so he could see particularly clearly.
"It's gone!"
At this moment, someone rang the warning gong and shouted loudly to put out the fire.
Wang Chen Looking at the burning ancestral hall, my heart kept sinking.
He didn't have much time to leave there. It was impossible for the fire to suddenly break out for no reason. The only explanation is that the fire was lit by the Third Uncle-Grandfather guarding the Ancestral Hall himself.
As for the purpose of this old man in the clan...
Wang Chen really wants to say, "Old man, you really don't need to do this!"
Although he told his third uncle his current identity, Wang Chen had no hidden plans in the first place - Blood-Clad Guard would not recruit people with unknown origins at all.
Ling Family gets the news here, it's just a matter of time.
It doesn't matter even if Third Uncle tells him.
But this old man still chose to die together with the ancestral hall that he had guarded for half his life!
Is it possible that it is because he is afraid that others will force him to reveal the secret of the whereabouts of the last two levels of Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels?
To know this secret, the third uncle didn't even tell Ling Hongyun.
Or maybe the third uncle also knows about the secret room under the ancestral hall?
In order to keep the secret, he chose to commit suicide?
The truth will obviously be destroyed along with the burned ancestral hall!
Wang Chen stood in front of the window sill, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
It seems that Ling Zhiyuan still has a trace of his soul remaining in the deepest part of his memory, causing this situation to resonate with him.
The fire at the Ling Family Ancestral Hall was extinguished soon after and did not affect the adjacent Ling Family.
But the impact of this incident had just begun. When Wang Chen was having breakfast at the restaurant next to the inn the next morning, he heard other diners talking about it.
Some were gloating, some were sighing, and some were mysteriously saying that Ling Family was having an unlucky year. The head of the family had died earlier, and now the ancestral hall was burned down. Sooner or later, he would be removed from Anyang City!
This man had a sinister look on his face, he was frothing when he talked, his face was red and he was extremely excited.
It seemed that he had mastered many inside stories about the Ling Family, which also attracted a crowd of idlers to listen, laugh and laugh along with him.
The more people in the audience, the more energetic he became, and his words became more vicious.
laugh!
Suddenly a stone flew out of nowhere and hit the talkative guy in the throat instantly.
"Ah!"
He suddenly let out a miserable and hoarse cry of pain, covered his neck with his hands and fell down.
My limbs were twitching, my mouth was foaming, and I was speechless!
At this time, everyone around was frightened. They screamed and ran away, for fear of being killed.
The restaurant owner was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "Don't run, you haven't paid yet!"
At this time, Wang Chen passed by the door on a horse.
He glanced at the chaotic restaurant, then waved his riding crop and walked away.
Not long after, Wang Chen left Anyang City far behind.
He turned his horse away from the official road and ran along the path to a secluded and uninhabited wilderness, and finally found a cave to shelter.
When night fell again, Wang Chen blocked the entrance of the cave with stones and began to take stock of what he had gained in the ancestral hall last night.
Under the light of the campfire, one box after another was opened.
In the first box, Wang Chen opened a whole box of gold, and the half-foot-long gold bricks were covered everywhere.
Dazzling golden light!
Although this box is not big, Wang Chen estimates that the gold inside is at least tens of thousands taels.
This is an amazing fortune.
Then the second and third large boxes contained all official silver, but in terms of value, their combined value was far less than the first gold box.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Chen opened weapons and equipment such as knives, swords, and armor, as well as bottles of pills sealed in jade bottles.
These weapons are all first-class products and extremely well preserved, and the pills cover various types of patent medicines such as healing, detoxifying, strengthening vitality, replenishing blood, nourishing qi, etc.
The quantity is enough to satisfy the needs of a small Lineage for several decades.
And the surprise is yet to come.
In the other three boxes, valuable medicinal materials such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum odoratum, Gastrodia elata, and Anoectochilus were stored.
One of the ginseng plants is at least 500 years old and is the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
Wang Chen is very satisfied.
The Potential points points he needs most are obtained by eating them. The more advanced the ingredients, the more points he can get.
This 500-year-old ginseng is sliced and stewed in soup. After digesting and absorbing all of it, the resulting Potential points must be amazing!
In addition to many other medicinal materials, as long as Wang Chen makes another medicinal formula to nourish the body, he will not need to worry about Potential points for a long time in the future.
It doesn't matter if he has finished eating these medicinal materials, he still has enough gold and silver to buy more!
The last box is the most special. There is a big box inside a small box, and it is a complete set of three layers of sandalwood boxes with gold edges.
The innermost small box was opened, and the first thing that caught Wang Chen's eyes was a book.
Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels!
The five vigorous and powerful characters on the cover are particularly eye-catching.
Wang Chen couldn't wait to pick up this book and read it, and a big stone fell to his heart quickly.
The main purpose of his treasure hunt at Anyang City was to find the fourth and fifth levels of Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels's skills.
The content recorded in this secret book covers the general outline of Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels and all the techniques and secrets from levels one to five!
Not only that, Wang Chen also found a thick stack of silver notes and more than a dozen land and house deeds at the bottom of the box.
The total face value of the banknotes alone was as much as 500,000 taels. What surprised Wang Chen was that these land deeds and house deeds were all properties in the imperial capital of Great Liang - Great Ye City!
All the deeds looked very new and were undoubtedly written by Ling Hongyun.
How much is Great Ye City's property worth? Even if Wang Chen doesn't know the specific price, he knows it is very expensive.
These land deeds and house deeds are enough to become the capital for Lineage to rise again!
Best of all, they don't depreciate easily.
Wang Chen still admires the original father.
He made a rough calculation and found that the total value of everything should be between 1.5 million and 2 million silver taels, and most of it was in hard currency.
Ling Family's hundreds of years of accumulation, I'm afraid most of them are here!
To be honest, Wang Chen was wondering whether Ling Hongyun had a premonition that today would happen a long time ago and made various arrangements. As a result, he, an outsider who occupied the magpie's nest, got this wealth.
He shook his head and put everything back into the storage space.
Only the Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels cheat code is left.
