Chapter 394 Something Left for You
"who is it?"
After thinking about it for a while, Mingzheng took the conversation.
But Mingyuan didn't say anything and just shook his head.
"I can't beat her, and you can't beat her, so forget it."
Mingzheng: ...What do you want, you stubborn old man?
After thinking for a while, Mingzheng sat in front of the bed. "I'm here. Whether you tell me or not, the murderer will think you told me. If she knows that you know that she is the murderer..."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Yuan's mouth opened slightly, and his expression became even more dejected.
"It's Juzi."
Mingzheng's heart skipped a beat. Although he had already guessed it, when he heard what Mingyuan said, he still couldn't help but feel cold.
Juzi is still his aunt in name.
"Actually, Juzi's target was not your mother, but me.
It was she who noticed something was wrong in advance and guessed that the person who took action was her sister.
Faced with the dilemma between her family and her lover, she took the initiative to bear the attack for me, and expressed her determination and position to Juzi with such a strong behavior.
Unfortunately, although Juzi slowed down her plan to annex the Ming family, this day finally came. "
"Just for annexation?" Mingzheng couldn't help but ask.
“Just for annexation!
She wants to completely control Ziyuan Town and the passage to the spirit world in the hands of the Ju family, making it their private residence. "
Mingzheng frowned so hard that he could pinch a ladybug to death. He did this for the sake of his family and resources.
He was shocked and couldn't understand.
However, if revenge is Mingyuan's last wish, then after he is strong enough, he will not mind avenging his parents.
"What do you want me to do?" While thinking about it, Mingzheng also asked.
It seemed that he didn't expect Mingzheng to take the initiative to ask him, and there was a rare gleam of light in Mingyuan's gloomy eyes.
But after a while, Ming Yuan said quietly.
"Live well and live the way you want.
If you have a lover in the future, protect her and don’t leave any regrets for yourself! "
After saying that, Ming Yuan only had memories in his eyes.
"……Gone?"
Ming Yuan smiled, and then sat up directly under Ming Zheng's surprised gaze.
"Are you pretending to be sick?" Mingzheng was confused, but where did the sullen look on the other person's face come from.
"I'm really sick, but this broken body is still of some use."
As Ming Yuan spoke, he stretched out his legs again, put on his shoes, and stood up. From sitting to standing, his movements became smoother, as if he was returning to the past.
But at the same time, a stream of ghost energy leaked out of Ming Yuan's body uncontrollably, making Ming Zheng horrified.
"What the hell are you doing!"
This feeling is more like Ming Yuan turning into a ghost elf.
"Follow me, you have never seen the spiritual world passage in your life."
At this moment, Ming Yuan seemed to be in a good mood. He gave Ming Zheng a rare smile, and the unprecedented kindness in his eyes made Ming Zheng feel pricked.
But Mingzheng's heart still felt heavy. Mingyuan's state was obviously not right at this moment, but he couldn't do anything.
I have no choice but to follow up first.
The two of them walked around the courtyard garden and came to the backyard. Under the astonished eyes of the caretaker, Ming Yuan brought Ming Zheng inside.
A lonely and dilapidated wooden house appeared in front of the two people. It originated from the spiritual world, and ghost energy that was purer than ordinary ghost elves leaked from it.
Mingzheng had never been here when he was a child, but he didn't expect that the entrance to the spiritual world passage would look so desolate from the outside.
But when he opened the door, there was a dark staircase leading underground. Continuing downward, Mingzheng saw the true appearance of the passage to the spirit world.
A hole that looked like a swirling nebula, with the entire body glowing with blue light, appeared flush with the thick wall at the deepest point.
It's not scary, but rather dazzlingly charming.
The entire underground space is like a square tube lying horizontally. The spiritual world passage is at the deepest point, and the long tube wall is covered with various black and white runes. It looks messy but seems to be a whole.
"Don't stare. It's not a lie that the passage to the spiritual world absorbs the soul."
Ming Yuan reminded him loudly from the side. When he saw Ming Zheng looking over, he pointed at the Ming family members sitting cross-legged around the tube wall.
There were old and young among them, but the same thing was that they were followed by a ghost elf, who was immersed in meditation with them, turning a blind eye to the arrival of Ming and Zheng.
"They are the guardians of this generation. They come from various branches outside. Once anyone is injured while guarding the passage to the spirit world, others will be arranged to take over.
Therefore, even if they all have their own little ideas, the reason why the Ming family can still control the spiritual world channel is that they must be unified when encountering crises and protecting the spiritual world channel. "
Speaking of this, Mingyuan pointed to the seat that was obviously the core.
"That... is where the direct lineage is waiting, the most dangerous place, and the most likely to awaken special abilities.
But you won't be able to use it anymore. "
Ming Yuan seemed to be sighing. He did not expect that Ming Zheng, who was born and raised in Ziyuan Town, had not awakened for a long time, but instead woke up after going out.
But that's not important, the next step is the business.
The sound of messy footsteps came, and uncles and aunts from various branches were seen coming in a hurry. When they saw Ming Yuan, who seemed to be recovering from health, they all looked like they had seen a ghost, but then they all became cautious again. The head of the house, the head of the house, shouted.
Facing these people, Ming Yuan looked equally pleasant at the moment.
"You're all here. That's good. I'll feel relieved to have you as witnesses next."
"Master, what are you going to do?"
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
There was also a man with gray hair, who didn't look like a grandfather, but was obviously the oldest, who stepped forward quickly and stopped Ming Yuan.
"A Yuan, no! The Ming family hasn't reached this point yet!"
But Ming Yuan just smiled and gently broke free from the other's hand.
"Brother Tai, I've wanted to do this for a long time, and now is a good opportunity."
Ming Zheng listened and felt more and more that something was wrong. Why did it feel like everyone knew what Ming Yuan was going to do, but he didn't know.
Just when he was about to ask, Ming Yuan had already turned his head to look at him.
"Ah Zheng, I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of you and didn't train you carefully over the years.
Luckily, you worked hard and made a name for yourself.
I'm very proud!"
After a pause, Ming Yuan blinked away the tears in his eyes and continued, "But your mother is even more miserable. She must have endured more alone in the spirit world. Now I'm going to find her.
You didn't need me before, and you probably don't want me now, but as a father, I still want to leave you something. You can do whatever you want with these things. I won't ask you to do anything."
Ming Zheng was about to answer, but Ming Yuan raised his hand to stop him, and while he was talking...
Floating up!
A Geng Gui's shadow quietly appeared at Ming Yuan's feet, and the ghost energy released from its body was even more surging.
"Head!"
"Head, no!"
"Ah Ming, Ju Ying can't be alive, but we still need you!"
"..."
Whether it's true or not, at this moment, except Ming Zheng, everyone else is trying to retain something.
But Ming Yuan turned his head and looked at these side branch tribesmen again.
"If the Ming family wants to continue, it must change.
Pass on my clan's order to abolish the division of the Ming family's direct line and collateral branches, and the head of the family will be the most capable one.
All the corresponding privileges and restrictions of the direct line will be abolished, and the treatment of the collateral branches will be improved, so that everyone will be treated equally.
In addition, I will use the right to recommend the next head of the family and recommend..."
At this point, everyone subconsciously held their breath, and many people even turned their eyes to Mingzheng.
But only those who truly support Mingyuan know that the head of the family has actually thought of everything long ago.
Since the distinction between the direct line and the collateral branches has been abolished, how can Mingzheng be the target of public criticism.
"Brother Mingtai, the Ming family will be handed over to you in the future."
Everyone was in an uproar, but more people showed joy on their faces.
Mingtai was also from a collateral branch, so the change Mingyuan said was real, not an excuse to stabilize them and protect his son's position.
In any case, this is a good thing for all the collateral branches.
And Mingzheng, the only one left in the direct line, also saw Mingyuan's last concern and love for him.
He didn't want to be the head of the family, but as long as he was there, it would be wrong for others to become the head of the family, and they would regard him as a thorn in their eyes.
Mingyuan directly confirmed the next head of the family, and Mingzheng had real freedom. Even if he wanted to come back in the future, he would be welcomed by everyone.
After all, regardless of his identity, Mingzheng was still a talented trainer with a bright future.
Which family would dislike the emergence of talents among their descendants?
What's more, Mingtai was obviously on Mingyuan's side. As long as Mingyuan's vision of people was not too bad, at least Mingzheng's relationship with the family would be much better than before.
Although Mingzheng didn't necessarily care about these, Mingyuan still did it.
After doing all this, Mingyuan also began to fly towards the spiritual world channel, and the Gengar behind him completely revealed his figure, opened his big mouth and began to swallow Mingyuan from bottom to top!
"Tai Bo, what is this..."
"One Hundred Demons Night Parade, the special ability of the head of the family has an extreme use, using himself as a sacrifice, turning into a hundred ghosts, walking in the spirit world at night, and clearing out the demons!"
"In simple terms, it is to sacrifice oneself to the spirits with special abilities, so as to differentiate hundreds of ghost bodies.
This kind of ghost body not only has self-awareness, but also can enter the spirit world and remain immortal, and has a strong restraint on all creatures in the spirit world.
The clan members who have awakened the Hundred Demons Night Parade in the past generations will be required to learn this ability. When the spirit world riots and it is difficult to resist the attack, they can sacrifice themselves to protect the clan members."
Ming Zheng listened, and felt absurd at first, but vaguely understood what a family is.
A spiritual world channel seems to have tied the Ming family to death, trapping them here for generations without freedom.
For hundreds of years, there has been a means of sacrifice, and it is required that people who have awakened the Hundred Demons Night Parade must learn it, which seems inhumane.
But he also knows that catalyzing the awakening of special abilities is only one of the positive effects of the spiritual world channel.
After each extermination of ghosts, evil spirits, and evil monsters that escaped from the spirit world passage, the remaining soul ashes and evil essences were of great benefit to ghost-type elves.
In this way, the Ming family was able to quickly improve their strength and pass on from generation to generation in the old days when survival was difficult.
Perhaps, this is also the meaning of the family's existence.
In this way, everyone could only watch Ming Yuan gradually drift towards the spirit world passage, and Gengar was still devouring him.
Knees, thighs, stomach, chest...
Finally, neck and head.
In the last second before Ming Yuan was devoured, Mingzheng suddenly heard the other party's voice in his heart.
"Sorry, thank you!"
The next second, Gengar, who had been swelling since the swallowing, suddenly showed a sad expression.
Bo~
As if a bubble exploded, the huge Gengar turned directly into countless fragments, and after the fragments stabilized, they turned into small Gengars that were only the size of a palm.
Densely packed, with evil laughs everywhere, it really looks like...
A hundred ghosts parading at night!
At the same time, those who were guarding the spirits opened their eyes almost at the same time.
The young people were still a little confused, while those middle-aged people who had more experience showed sadness and stared at the hundreds of little Gengars in a daze.
"Master, have a good journey!"
"Master, thank you..."
"Master..."
"Master!"
Deep in the corridor, the little Gengars began to pass through the spirit world passage one after another.
The magical thing is that with the influx of Gengars, the spirit world passage actually became a little illusory.
When the last little Gengar disappeared, the entire spirit world passage dissipated directly, leaving only a huge circular talisman on the wall.
"Tai Bo, this..."
"The soul bodies transformed by the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons are like bowls of cold water poured into hot water for the spirit world.
If it is a riot period, the passage to the spirit world may only be suppressed.
But now it is a calm period, and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is enough to seal the passage to the spirit world for a long time."
"Long, how long?"
"At least half a year, and at most more than ten years."
Speaking of this, Tai Bo suddenly turned his head and looked at the Ming family members behind him.
"The clan leader sacrificed heroically for the continuation of the family. For a long time in the future, we will no longer need to guard the passage to the spirit world.
So, the Ming family will officially open the clan library for all talented clan members to quickly become stronger to deal with external enemies!
The internal troubles have been solved, but the external troubles are still there. Before the family inheritance is completely stabilized, all clan members need to temporarily put aside all prejudices and strictly prohibit internal consumption until they get through the difficulties!"
Ming Tai said it obscurely, but everyone knew what the external troubles meant.
And without the distinction between direct and collateral branches, at least everyone is full of hope at this moment, and various contradictions are naturally suppressed.
Mingzheng watched silently, realizing that all this must have been thought of by Mingyuan a long time ago.
Now, it was just Mingtai's turn to execute.
The whole Ming family was in action, and everyone stopped paying attention to Mingzheng and started to do their own things.
Soon. Only Mingtai and Mingzheng were left in the underground space, and even those who were guarding the spirits were let out because the passage was stable.
Mingtai withdrew his aura, looked at Mingzheng kindly, looked up and down carefully, and then said happily.
"Let's go, I'll take you to get the things your father left for you."
Mingzheng was stunned, "Aren't those arrangements just now?"
"Of course not, those arrangements did protect you, but more for the whole family.
As for the things your father left for you, there are others."
Mingzheng opened his mouth to say something, but Mingtai had already walked out first.
"Hey, let's take a look first..."
