Chapter 194 Hong Fugui’s Message (2)
“Exalted Immortal, we originally wanted to go to Linjiang County City of the Great Zhou to participate in the recruitment of the Linjiang Pei Clan to protect ourselves.”
Hong Kang said respectfully, “But now that you’ve dealt with the people chasing us, I want to go home and take a look. Moreover, I want to kill that unfilial descendant who leaked the news of our ancestor’s secret treasure.”
“Then let’s go together.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “Please lead the way.”
As he spoke, he circulated his Dharmic powers to evaporate the water on Hong Kang and Hong Shen’s clothes, drying them.
He had also healed Hong Kang’s injuries.
….
The Hong family was in a relatively remote mountain village in the Great Qi Kingdom.
This mountain village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it was more than 50 kilometers away from the nearest town.
It could be said to be extremely remote.
Almost no outsiders would enter.
During their conversation, Cui Heng also understood the Hong family’s situation, as well as the origins of the ancestral teachings and secret treasure.
This mountain village was called Hong Family Village.
More than 200 years ago, the ancestors of the Hong Family came here with a secret treasure left behind by their father. They built a hut and lived here. Later on, they took in some pitiful people who had no way out and slowly established a village.
This surprised Cui Heng. The person who established this village was not Hong Fugui.
Instead, his name was Hong Yong.
According to the records of the Hong Family, Hong Yong was Hong Fugui’s fourth son, and Hong Kang was Hong Yong’s seventh generation grandson, who was also Hong Fugui’s eighth generation grandson.
Hong Shen was Hong Fugui’s tenth generation grandson. Cui Heng immediately felt like he had countless grand disciples and suddenly felt like an old man.
After all, the Immortal Dawn Sect had only been passed down for five generations, and they were all young ladies.
Compared to Hong Fugui’s eighth generation grandson, who was old and gray-haired, the sensory experience he received was completely different.
“What am I thinking?” Cui Heng shook his head and thought to himself, “I’m still young. I can still do many things. Old? This mentality is not good.”
Indeed, at the Early-stage Nascent Soul realm, the lifespan of the body exceeded 10,000 years. The True Spirit also had an indestructible characteristic and could live for very long.
He is only 300 years old now. In cultivation words, he was still a baby.
During the conversation, Cui Heng also learned how the Hong family’s secret treasure was exposed.
Actually, in the past 200 years or so, the Hong family had lived in seclusion in the mountain village and had never stepped into the Pugilistic World. They had never mentioned the secret treasure to outsiders.
Other than the current head of the family, only the direct descendants of the family vaguely knew about this.
However, more than ten years ago, a direct descendant of the Hong family eloped with a foreign martial artist and left. After that, there was no news of her.
This caused the news to be leaked.
However, for more than ten years, there was no movement, so the Hong family gradually relaxed.
Who would have expected that the Eight Immortal Sects would cause trouble for the Hong Family this time.
As the woman’s husband was suspected to be an accomplice of the demons of the Lower World, in order to save her husband’s life, the woman revealed the news that her family had a secret treasure.
She even exaggerated some truths. This was how Qian Shun attacked the Hong Family Village out of greed.
“The Eight Immortal Sects have no restrictions at all.” Cui Heng frowned.
The Nine Immortal Sects and three Buddhist monasteries were the absolute rulers of the Heavenly Void World. They could do whatever they wanted and would not be restrained at all.
They could be completely lawless.
This was what it looked like now.
“Sigh, if not for the pure land in Great Zhou, we wouldn’t even know where to run to.” Hong Kang couldn’t help but sigh, feeling a lingering fear.
If not for Great Zhou, the two of them would have probably committed suicide long ago.
There was even less chance for him to hand over the items left behind by his ancestor to this Mr. Cui.
….
Soon, Cui Heng brought everyone back to Hong Family Village.
Hong Kang hurriedly led Hong Shen in, but all they saw was ruins. Corpses were everywhere.
Everyone in Hong Family Village had been killed by Qian Shun.
Hong Kang saw this and trembled with anger.
His son, daughter-in-law, brothers, and sisters were all corpses now.
“Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect!” Hong Kang gritted his teeth, his face filled with killing intent.
“Father, Mother…” Hong Shen also discovered his parents’ corpses, and his face turned pale.” I will definitely avenge you!”
“Absolute madness!” Zhang Shuming was also a little angry.
“What an Immortal Sect!” Cui Heng frowned.
“Exalted Immortal, please follow me.” Hong Kang barely managed to compose himself before he said to Cui Heng, “The item left behind by our ancestor is here.”
“Let’s bury the corpses here first.” Cui Heng sighed.
“Exalted Immortal, let me do it,” Zhang Shuming said.
“Alright!” Cui Heng nodded lightly.
“Exalted Immortal is benevolent.” Hong Kang thanked him with Hong Shen.
Zhang Shuming was a top Deity Realm expert. He did things very quickly. Before long, he buried the people of Hong Family Village neatly.
With Hong Kang’s help, he erected tombstones for the graves.
Hong Shen followed his grandfather’s instructions and brought over the secret treasure left behind by his ancestors.
It was an ancient wooden brocade box. It was about six inches long, and three inches wide and tall.
“Exalted Immortal, this is something left behind by my ancestor.” Hong Kang held the brocade box with both hands and handed it to Cui Heng
The brocade box was not locked, but Cui Heng could tell that it had not been opened for more than 200 years.
It could be seen that Hong Fugui’s descendants cared a lot about their ancestral teachings.
“Exalted Immortal, do you need us to leave?” Zhang Shuming asked cautiously. “Exalted Immortal, then we…” Hong Kang also wanted to ask. “There’s no need.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and received the brocade box. Then, he slowly opened it and saw something very familiar.
Actually, when he saw this brocade box, he already knew what was inside.
A sweet potato vine.
It emitted a faint spiritual energy. After nearly 300 years, it had still not rotted. This was a crop produced by the Beginner’s Farm, and it was also one of the things Cui Heng had given Hong Yugui back then.
However, this sweet potato vine should only be an identification token that Hong Fugui had left behind. Underneath this vine was a slightly yellowed book.
“The Practice of the Great Harmony Collection…” Cui Heng could not help but feel a little emotional when he saw the name of this book. He took the book out of the brocade box and flipped open the cover. The first sentence he saw was, “Mr.Cui, please take a look.”
Cui Heng did not say anything. He just quietly flipped through it. He did not even use his divine sense. Instead, he looked at it word by word. This was his respect for Hong Fugui’s hard work.
At this moment, he felt that the ambitious little boy was standing in front of him again. He was personally holding the Great Harmony Collection for him to review.
He also described his psychological journey over the years and some of his experiences in practicing this Dao.
However, in reality, only this book was left, and the person had long disappeared.
Zhang Shuming, Hong Kang, and Hong Shen did not dare to disturb Cui Heng, and they waited quietly at the side.
By the time Cui Heng finished reading the book, it was already noon the next day. When he reached the last few pages, his speed suddenly slowed down.
This was no longer Hong Fugui’s thoughts on the Great Harmony Collection, but his letter to Cui Heng.
It was divided into several sections. It should have been left behind from different periods.
“Sir, I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you very much. However, I’ve only conquered nine states and the commoners haven’t had a good life. I don’t have the face to see you. I just hope that one day, when the four seas are peaceful and the commoners are living and working in peace, I can look for you and serve you.”
“Sir, I’ve found a wife. Hehe, she’s especially beautiful and even taught martial arts. She’s very powerful. When I pacify this world, I’ll bring her to meet you. You’ll definitely like her.”
“Sir, I’ve already obtained 16 states in the world and am about to attack Yuandu. My grand undertaking is about to be completed. Recently, I heard that there are Immortals and Gods in the Upper World. I wonder if Sir is in the Upper World? After the battle ends, I’ll send Fourth Brother to the Upper World to find Sir.”
“Sir, I’m afraid I don’t have long to live. The Upper World doesn’t care about martial morals. They joined forces and sent three Earth Immortals and two Bodhisattvas to attack me and my wife. They’re really shameless! A group of dogs from the Black Yellow Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, the Void Dao Sect, and the Baolin Buddhist Hall!”
“Sir, my wife said that her father is a powerful figure that can save my life. She even took out a small boat that can fly to take me to Planet Taihong… I asked Fourth Brother to go to the Upper World to look for you…”
