Chapter 128 How Can There Be Eighty Years in This World...
The atmosphere inside the ancestral hall was tense.
Outside the Wushi mansion, Lu Heng and others, who were observing the condition of the ancestral hall through a water mirror, were shocked by the sudden appearance of "Old Master Wu".
Huo Feng said in surprise, "This evil transformation technique is very powerful..."
It's not too unusual to be able to turn into a living person, but the "Old Man Wu" in this water mirror is in a translucent soul state. It is much more difficult to be able to disguise a soul to look so similar.
"But although the appearance can be imitated, what about the inner things?" Huo Feng frowned, "If it's just the appearance, these old people from the Wu family will reveal their flaws once they are questioned..."
Huo Feng's confusion was also a point of curiosity for everyone.
In the water mirror, in the Wushi's ancestral hall, the elders of the Wushi clan all stood up one after another when they saw the appearance of Mr. Wu.
But he didn't greet him immediately, but showed his guard.
The old man Wu Lie who was at the abbot's site frowned and said, "Are you the Sixth Brother?"
Mr. Wu glanced at him coldly and said, "Can it be fake?"
That irritable look with raised brows and raised eyebrows indeed has the charm of Mr. Wu.
Wu Lie thought for a while and said, "Brother Six, let me ask you, when was the last time you and I met?"
Mr. Wu said without hesitation, "It was the night before this traitor poisoned me. You came to me alone and wanted to discuss with me about traveling south."
Wu Lie was a little surprised: "Really Brother Six?"
Old Master Wu sneered, then pointed at several clan elders to dig into the matter, and told several innocuous old secrets, which shocked many clan elders and shopkeepers.
"What an old man!"
"I've seen the old man!"
"I've met Sixth Brother!"
There was a burst of noise in the ancestral hall.
Through the water mirror, Huo Feng was very surprised when he saw this scene.
"Does this evil spirit know how to read minds?"
Lu Heng said nothing, but the witch congratulating Lan Zhen on the side looked gloomy.
The evil spirit who can read minds and seize souls has a high level of cultivation. No wonder he dares to enter Fushan City...it turns out he has something to rely on!
In the ancestral hall, after everyone confirmed the true identity of "Old Master Wu", they immediately led him to the main seat.
And the eldest young man of the Wu family, named Wu Zhiqian, has now been taken down by everyone, tied up and kneeling in front of the old man.
The old man's beard and hair were all flaring, and he shouted angrily, "You traitor! What else can you say when you see your father?"
Wu Zhiqian was sweating profusely and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately, "Father, please spare my life! Father, please spare your life! It's the child who has lost his mind, the child who is stupid. I beg the father to spare the child this time. The child promises that he will do it in the future." Won’t do it again!”
Wu Zhiqian kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, banging the floor loudly. He looked extremely pitiful.
However, Mr. Wu looked at him coldly and said, "Won't you do it again? Of course you won't do it again. Your mother has passed away long ago, and your biological father is about to leave now. Of course you won't do it again in the future... Even if you want to do it, you won't do it again." Where did your biological father poison you?"
The last sentence of Mr. Wu was almost shouted in anger. The extremely angry roar made Wu Zhiqian tremble all over.
Later, Mrs. Wu said coldly, "Go and ask for the Golden Sword Book of Punishment! Today I will clean up the house!"
As soon as Mr. Wu said this, not only Wu Zhiqian was paralyzed with fear, but all the clan elders were also startled.
The golden sword punishment book is the symbol of the Wushi clan's clan rules. Once the Golden Sword Punishment Book is requested, it means that the clan rules will be enforced.
According to the Wushi clan rules, murdering one's own father is a crime of beheading...
Wu Lie stood up subconsciously, a little anxious, "Brother Six! This is inappropriate!"
The old man tried to persuade him, "Although Zhiqian made a big mistake, he is of your blood after all, and he is young and ignorant. We can give him another chance, or at worst, send him to lead a business team..."
However, before Wu Lie could finish his words, he was frightened by the old man's fierce and angry face, and he swallowed all the words he said.
Seeing Wu Lie's silence, the old man looked at everyone in the ancestral hall coldly and said, "Does anyone else want to intercede for this traitor?"
All the clan elders were silent in response.
Seeing that the old man was so angry, who would dare to go up and cause trouble at this time?
When the old man saw that the whole room was silent, he snorted coldly, "No one is the best! Huh! You are young and ignorant? You are already in your thirties, and you are still young and ignorant? This traitor is born to be a bad breed! I should have seen it clearly a long time ago That’s it!”
The old man's angry curse made the limp Wu Zhiqian tremble.
At this time, the golden sword punishment book that represented the clan rules had been brought out. It is a book made of pure copper, with a small pure gold sword stuck diagonally on it.
The clan elders respectfully took out the punishment book hanging on the wooden frame and handed it to Mr. Wu.
The old man held the punishment book and took off the golden sword on it. He held the book in one hand and the sword in the other. He looked down coldly at his eldest son who was kneeling at his feet and said in a cold voice, "Wu Zhiqian, you are so vicious in plotting to kill your own father. According to the Wushi clan rules, you should be punished by being the head of an owl... Do you have anything to say? "
The old man's words scared the eldest young man of the Wu family and quickly raised his head.
However, what he saw was the glaring father holding a golden sword in front of him, as well as many uncles with lowered eyebrows and silent words in the room.
In such a situation, the eldest son of the Wu family immediately despaired, knowing that he would not be able to survive this time.
After standing there for a long time with a pale face, the Wu family young man suddenly exploded.
Instead of being weak and shrinking before, he shouted angrily at Old Master Wu in front of him.
"You old fool! You are always right and never wrong, right?"
"If it weren't for you, would I have come to this point today? If it weren't for your old age, would I have fallen to this point today? It's all your fault that I became like this! It's all your fault!"
Wu Zhiqian's angry curse shocked all the elders.
Wu Lie, who stood side by side with Old Master Wu, scolded, "What's wrong with you? How can you be so presumptuous in front of the ancestral tablet?!"
However, Old Master Wu waved his hand to stop Wu Lie, then looked coldly at Wu Zhiqian in front of him and said, "Rebellious son, you said I harmed you... Then tell me, how did your father harm you?"
Under the gaze of everyone, the eldest son of the Wu family had snot and tears on his face, and he was desperate and angry. It seemed that the grievances that had been suppressed for many years finally broke out at this time.
He stared at his father in despair and anger, shouting loudly.
"You old fool! You told me since I was a child that I am the future head of the Wu family, and sooner or later you will hand over the Wu family to me, so that I can learn how to be a head of the family from a young age."
"Okay! I listened! I believe it! I will learn how to be the head of the Wu family according to your requirements."
"But what about you! After you gave birth to the second son, you never mentioned this matter again. You want to help the second son become the head of the family, right?"
"If the second son didn't live up to his expectations, the head of the Wu family would , it will be given to the second son, right? "
Wu Zhiqian cursed angrily, "But the second son was driven away by you, and I have become an adult, but you still haven't given me the Wu family."
"When you were seventy years old, you said I would be the head of the Wu family. When you were eighty years old, you said that the Wu family would be given to me after you passed away. But now you are almost a hundred years old! I am thirty-eight! You are still reluctant to give up power. Do you think anyone can live to eighty or ninety like you?"
Wu Zhiqian cursed angrily, "When I was three years old, my enemies came to my house, My mother died to save me, and I also suffered an injury that could never be cured. The witch doctor said that I would not live past fifty in this life... You, this old man, just want to outlive me and pave the way for the second son, right! "
"In this Wu family, even the second sister's words are more effective than me, the legitimate heir! Because everyone knows that the eldest son of the Wu family, the short-lived ghost with an old illness, will never live to the day of power!"
"After you die, the head of the Wu family may be the second son, or the second sister, but it will definitely not be me! Everyone knows! Even the servants who empty the chamber pots of the Wu family know it!"
Wu Zhiqian's eyes were bloodshot, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, "Do you think I want to poison you? Do you think I want to become a dog thing worse than an animal? The reason why I am like this is not because you force me? ! "
"If you live a few years less! Or if you are not so obsessed with power, things will never become like this! "
"You died, it's all your own fault! I became like this because of you! I was forced by you!"
