Chapter 1445: Supreme Backhand
Aesop's face changed again when he heard Qu Jianlei's words - the enemy's spy's goal is the magic weapon?
He is over a hundred years old and has been the clan leader for more than 30 years. He should have seen enough scenes and would not be easily frightened.
But the person who told him the news was a member of the famous Digital Phantom, which naturally brought an influence bonus.
In addition, the matter was a major event that could affect the survival of the entire family, which would also affect his reason and judgment.
After thinking for a while, he said with embarrassment, "Thank you for your mercy, but..."
"It is also quite difficult for us younger generations to dig up the graves of our ancestors."
"In that case, then I'll pretend I haven't been here," Qu Jianlei stood up and said expressionlessly, "Goodbye..."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared.
"Sir, please stay," Aesop shouted in fear, "Everything can be discussed!"
He really didn't want to touch the graves of his ancestors, but there is no doubt that that was not the whole reason, or even the main reason.
After all, the price of magic tools has soared to trillions of dollars. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Everyone has seen that the family has achieved class transition under the leadership of Ya Yian, but who knows the difficulty of maintaining the class?
As the patriarch, Aesop knows the current situation of the family too well.
It is unlikely to decline too much in the short term, but it is powerless to expand.
In the core circle, there are a group of tribesmen who are still quite competitive, but there are plateaus, not peaks!
Moreover, those tribesmen have been away from the family for a long time, and the blood ties have faded a little, and some even have grudges with this branch!
If this branch can get a large amount of funds to recover, it can greatly enhance the cohesion of the family, and it is not a dream to go to the next level.
Inevitably, he wanted to bargain - you don't want to offend the dead, it's normal for us to respect our ancestors, right?
But the other party left so cleanly, and he woke up in an instant!
What they said was "unless necessary", not wanting to disturb the dead, not absolutely not!
Digital Phantom has done so much for his family and has maintained considerable restraint, but this does not mean that he can be bullied.
If he really makes people angry, then it is not a matter of considering the next step.
The problem he faces is: how to prevent the family from falling straight down!
There is no doubt that the other party has the strength to easily knock the family into the abyss, let alone one magic weapon, two magic weapons are not enough!
The reason why they are reasonable is that they are willing to be reasonable. If they really don’t want to be reasonable, who can do anything to them?
And there is no doubt that his actions are pushing the other party to the opposite side.
Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, the figure flashed and the other party came back.
Qu Jianlei looked at Aesop and said expressionlessly, "How do you plan to discuss?"
Aesop took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's up to you."
At this moment, he really gave it his all. Whether it is good or bad, it all depends on the other party's thoughts.
Since the other party can show enough respect for the dead, I guess they won't act too much... right?
This is the wisdom of the big family's survival. They will not easily go all-in, but they don't mind taking a gamble at the critical moment.
Once they lose, what they lose is a sum of foreign money that is not under their control, and there will be no more losses.
But if they bet right, it is hard to say what they will gain - the current Aesop clan leader does not want to think about it carefully.
Qu Jianlei smiled and showed his white teeth, "Don't you force it?"
"Absolutely not!" Aesop shook his head very straightforwardly, "I thought too much just now. Without your protection, we will be miserable."
"Haha, it may not be the case," Qu Jianlei smiled again, "but the man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"
In fact, in his opinion, the Yayi'an family is not really innocent.
Without the protection of their own team, it is not easy for this family to distance themselves from the spy, and the charges are ready.
Aesop nodded, "Yes, I am too greedy... I will make arrangements immediately."
After a pause, he asked boldly, "May I ask what you would do if you just leave like this?"
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, "I won't do anything, really... I also want to see who has the courage to intercept the Digital Phantom's business!"
Aesop was silent for ten seconds, and then said in a deep voice, "Give me a few days."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
It rained again that night, and many observers outside had already discovered Qu Jianlei's arrival, but no one felt his departure.
In the reception room, there was only one person's breath from beginning to end, that is, Aesop, the patriarch of the Yayi'an family.
Until the observers discovered that Aesop in the reception room came out, someone came forward to knock on the door.
When they learned that the Digital Phantom had left, they couldn't help but sigh, "This cultivation... I'm afraid it's more than just the highest!"
Then there was what they wanted to know: Digital Phantom came again, what did he want to do?
Aesop didn't say a word: You dare to ask, but I dare not answer.
He really didn't even dare to say the word "transaction" because it was too easy for people to guess the content of the transaction.
They were all the smartest people in the empire, and he couldn't hide it from the other party.
Fortunately, the other party also noticed the person's body movements and didn't dare to continue to pester him.
At midnight, Chief Aesop summoned his clansmen to follow him to the family's secret vault and entered alone.
There weren't many things in the secret vault, and nothing was particularly valuable.
Aesop opened the heavy safe, which contained small safes, many of which were labeled.
On one of the small safes, there was a label that said "The family must have a hundred-year supreme to open it"!
This was the safe left by Yayi'an, meaning that after him, the family must have a hundred-year supreme to open it.
In other words, ordinary supremes are not qualified to open it, and must have sufficient experience.
This is the only safe left by Yayi'an. Although he left a lot of resources, there is only one safe.
Below this line of words, there is another line of small words.
"Zixi is presumptuous, I know I was wrong, and besides: it must not be opened unless it is a life-and-death moment for the family, remember, remember!"
Zixi was the only second supreme to appear in the family after Yayi'an, but he died sixty years after advancing to the supreme.
This label is also easy to understand. After he advanced to the Supreme, he was somewhat inflated and felt that he was qualified to open the safe.
But after opening the safe, he found that Ya Yian's message made sense, so he apologized and added one more thing.
——If the Supreme is less than a hundred years old, it can only be opened unless something big happens in the family.
Just a warning from Ya Yian may not necessarily work, and it is inevitable that there will be smart-minded people among the younger generation.
Zixi is a typical example. He thinks that although he has not been promoted to the Supreme for a long time, it is not much worse than the Supreme for many years.
Then he opened the safe and finally realized the gap, so he added another one.
After this one was added, no one in the family dared to think about it, and the only two Supremes repeatedly emphasized it.
And Aesop believed that if Ya Yian could leave a magic weapon, this would be the only clue.
The rest... that's really impossible. How many resources did Ya Yian leave behind? Who in the family doesn't know?
Aesop raised his hand and began to pray in a low voice towards the front, meaning that the younger generation was incompetent and would violate the ancestral precepts again.
But strictly speaking, he didn't completely violate it... If he couldn't pass this level, the family might be wiped out.
After praying for a while, he stepped forward and pressed the 64-digit password, then pricked his finger and smeared it on the button.
If you are not of the family's bloodline, knowing the password alone is useless.
The door of the safe opened with a sound, and there were two alloy plates inside, with tiny words engraved on the alloy plates.
This kind of storage method will not have any problems for ten thousand years, which is much more reliable than paper or storage.
Aesop prayed for a while again, then stepped forward to take out the metal plate, looked at it for a few times and nodded - it was true!
What Ya Yian left behind was indeed information about the secret room under the tomb.
He said that there were important items in the secret room, but it would be impossible to handle those things without the Supreme.
What was rare was that Zixi also put a piece of alloy plate with a note, indicating that it was definitely not something that the Young Supreme could solve.
For this reason, he deliberately blocked the entrance to the secret room, asking the later comers to think twice before breaking the entrance: Are the conditions met?
"This..." Aesop thought again and again, and sighed, "The two ancestors really meet the conditions."
Anyway, since Yayi'an chose to build the secret room under the tomb, he certainly doesn't mind the disturbance of the younger generation.
Aesop was completely relieved, and the guilt in his heart disappeared instantly.
But he didn't live in the forest farm manor, and it was not suitable to go out on such a rainy night, after all, there were so many people watching.
The next morning, Aesop led a group of clansmen to the cemetery to burn incense and worship the ancestors.
There is nothing wrong with such a move. Recently, Yayi'an's family has encountered a lot of things, and it is normal to worship the ancestors.
Even the monitors don't think that there will be any trouble in the cemetery. Respecting ancestors is the tradition of the empire.
But there should be surveillance, especially Aesop announced that the sacrifice will be held for three consecutive days.
However, the surrounding area is the forest farm of the Yayi'an family. Outsiders cannot enter at will, and can only be entered by drone or satellite.
At night, Aesop found the entrance to the secret room.
The entrance is next to the path in the cemetery. Although it has been sealed by Zixi, it is not difficult to reopen it.
After entering the cave, the secret passage inside is just below the path in the cemetery, and it leads to Yayi'an's tomb along the path.
Such a secret passage is not only secret and difficult to be discovered, but also fully guaranteed not to affect other deceased people.
Walking in the secret passage, Aesop couldn't help but sigh that this ancestor is not only the soul of the family, but also thoughtful enough.
He entered the secret passage for a full hour before he got out of the cave again.
Then he bowed deeply and filled the hole back.
