Chapter 791: The Price

"Father, this, is this the statue of the ancestor?"

When he saw the statue of Yang Zheng, the ancestor of the Yang family, Yang Shu's expression was full of astonishment. Because he didn't expect that the most powerful ancestor in his family still had a statue left behind.

"Yes, this is the ancestral statue left by the ancestor Huiling Daoist Yang Zheng. It has been enshrined in the ancestral hall for incense, and it can still appear today."

Can still manifest?

Yang Shu continued to be surprised. Although his cultivation base is low, he has a lot of knowledge. He knows that if the ancestor image appears, it means that the family is prosperous, or the inheritance is prosperous. In the sect, it is a big event that is often brought out and invited guests to show off. The same goes for the royal family.

But why has it never appeared in various sacrificial ceremonies of the royal family?

As soon as Yang Shu's doubts arose, he was suppressed by another doubt. He saw that the father beside him took a small knife from Yang Xiusheng's hand, and then opened his upper body clothes, revealing not only his thin body, but also almost The chest and back are covered with terrifying dark red "spider web" like fleshy webs.

"Father! What's wrong with you?!" Yang Shu's astonishment was beyond words. He never knew that his father had such a terrifying fleshy web attached to it like a spider web. The thing was still vibrating, like it was alive.

Yang Jian smiled but did not answer. He took a knife and cut lightly on the "spider web", and a stream of blood rushed out and fell into the stone basin in front of the ancestor statue.

Afterwards, the wound healed quickly, and then the stone basin seemed to react with the blood rushing in, and even the entire ancestor statue began to tremble. After a few breaths, the ancestor moved strangely by itself, revealing a dark step below.

"This..." Yang Shu somewhat understood why the ancestor statue existed but was never mentioned by the clan members, even a prince like Yang Shu never knew of its existence. The reason should be to suppress the entrance of this mysterious secret passage?

Closing his clothes, Yang Jian took the lead in stepping into the steps of the secret passage, and dim lights lit up on both sides again to illuminate the path below.

"Let's go, if you want to inherit the throne, this is what you have to go through. Didn't you say that you are fearless?"

Yang Shu really wanted to say that he was fearless now, but there was only one word "good" on his lips, and he swallowed everything else. Because an unspeakable and inexplicable horror rose in his heart again, as if there was some terrible danger under this secret passage, and he instinctively wanted to retreat.

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense as he entered this secret path, which was not a long staircase. Yang Shu wanted to ask a few times, but he swallowed it back. Because I don't want to show timidity in front of my father.

Soon the steps came to an end, and a stone door appeared.

Yang Shu wanted to push it, but Yang Jian stopped him, and said with a smile, "You can't push this door now, but if it goes well, you will always have a chance to push it open in the future."

Yang Shu didn't know how to answer these words, so he could only back away, watching the weak Yang Jian slowly push open the huge stone door, even Yang Shu felt that the door was opened by himself rather than being pushed open.

Is it the royal family's most important secret? What will it be?

Looking in, it was pitch black, and there was still a damp smell wafting out of it. As Yang Jian stepped in, a dim light lit up inside the stone gate for people to see what it looked like inside.

Neither Yang Jian nor Yang Xiusheng were surprised by this place, but Yang Shu came here for the first time, and after seeing the situation in Shimen clearly, his doubts reached the peak.

what is that? A. Odd-shaped. Chair?

In Yang Shu's eyes, "Red" is just a strange chair. Of course, this is not wrong, at least the appearance of "Chi" in front of his eyes is a chair.

"Shu'er, this is "Chi", and it is also the biggest secret of our royal family today, and it is a deal." Yang Jian stood next to "Chi", touched the back of the chair, and immediately followed his words. Dazzling lights appeared on the wide chair back and quickly converged into a piercing eye.

Yang Shu looked at the eye on the back of the chair, subconsciously took half a step back, and then hurriedly steadied himself. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that eye was staring at him, as if he was looking at a piece of wood. Good meal? In an instant, he understood where the fear in his heart a few times before came from, it should be the eyes in front of him.

"Father, my son doesn't understand." Yang Shu was instinctively on guard. Even though he knew that his father was in front of him, the royal family did not have unconditional trust, so he naturally maintained his guard.

Seeing his son's wary face, Yang Jian didn't think he was disobedient but was very happy. He laughed and said, "Do you think that the old Jing Dynasty can be established between the major sects? Just relying on Jin Jianwei is enough? Not to mention far away, which one is not the most powerful force in Wanjuan Shushan or Mingshan Sect? Why do you want to be sidelined?" Looking at me from a corner, the Jing old dynasty is sitting on the world? Do you really think that their sect is unwilling to step into the secular world?

Hehe, mundane and mundane, this is simply a step that Zongmen found for himself in the early years. "

Yang Shu glanced at "Chi", frowned and said, "Father, you mean it is some kind of power that helps us stabilize the world?"

"You can understand that. But this kind of help is not free, we need to pay the price."

"What price?" Yang Shu's heart trembled. It is conceivable how terrifying it is to be able to resist the power of two super sects, and the price to be paid must also exceed his imagination. At this moment, he vaguely understood that the throne that seemed to be in front of him should not be that simple. And the "red" in front of him must be the "last checkpoint" that the father said.

Yang Jian pointed to his chest and said, "You saw it when you came in just now, what I have on me is the price."

"Those, red things? What's that?"

"That's "Red", it will cling to every emperor who is in charge of the Jingjiu Dynasty, and absorb the luck of the Jingjiu Dynasty's dominance of the world through some means that we don't know. It's just that this process has no effect on the objects it clings to. It is painful to say that it is torture.

Have you ever wondered why each generation of emperors like to stay in Fu'an Palace? The reason is that the warm soup in Fu'an Palace has a miraculous effect, which can relieve the pain caused by "red".

And you, if you want to sit on the throne, the last hurdle you need is this chair. You sit on it, accept the attachment of "Chi", and endure the daily pain to become the direct object of the next transaction, and then you will be able to carry the banner of Jingjiu Dynasty. Until you are like me, then you can find your heir to take over. "

"Currently?"

"Start again and again!"

Yang Shu's complexion was already ugly. The old Jing Dynasty has always had many unknown mysteries in terms of force, the most direct one is how to suppress the sects of the world? Now we have the answer.

To accept or not to accept? Yang Shu knew in his heart that he had no choice.
