Zhou Yinghai walked in, it was just a very ordinary secret room, there was nothing strange about it, this should be the place where Zhou Yinghai used to collect some valuables.
I saw him open a double lockbox and take out a quaint wooden box from inside, this box looks like it must be at least a hundred years old, and it is definitely not a modern thing.
I saw Zhou Yinghai put down this quaint box steadily, and then opened the box, and inside was a ten-centimeter-long, thumb-sized black thing, which looked a bit like that kind of rotten wood, but it wasn't exactly like it, I don't know what it was.
If Chen Feng was here, he would definitely recognize it, this was the "letter" used by the ancient cultivation world, this was a kind of thing used by ancient cultivators to communicate, and it was rarely seen now.
The current cultivators keep pace with the times, and have already used a series of modern communication tools such as mobile phones and the Internet, I am afraid that only those old guys who have survived for an unknown number of years will still use the letter to quote this thing, but I didn't expect Zhou Yinghai to have a piece of letter in his hand.
After Zhou Yinghai took out the letter, he put it in an incense burner, clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself: "Ancestor, please forgive the decision of the descendants of the unscrupulous, you have left the ancestral teachings back then, unless the Zhou family disaster is coming, you must not light the letter, and now Yunlong is hanging by a thread, he is the only descendant of our Zhou family, I can't watch him die in Huangquan, I hope the ancestor will bless Yunlong to survive this catastrophe safely......"
After Zhou Yinghai finished praying to the ancestor, he lit the letter, the black letter like wood, as soon as it encountered an open flame, it instantly turned into a ball of fire and rose into the sky, and soon disappeared out of thin air, not even a little ash was left, even if Zhou Yinghai had lived for most of his life, he had never seen this kind of strange imagination, and he was stunned for a moment.
According to the confession of the ancestor of the Zhou family, when the Zhou family is in great trouble, you can light this fast letter for help, and someone will come to help them.
Although the descendants of the Zhou family remember the ancestral teachings, they have always treasured this fast letter as a treasure and passed it down from generation to generation, but in fact, most of them do not believe it in their hearts, especially in the postmodern era, no one takes it seriously, and Zhou Yinghai really has no choice, so he had to ignite the letter for help in disbelief.
At the moment when Zhou Yinghai lit the letter, an old man in a dark room suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that he was long and skinny, his body was shaped like a skeleton, and he was wearing a shabby Taoist robe, the robe was dirty, covered with green moss, and his two eye sockets had been deeply sunken, looking eerie and terrifying.
A sharp long howl sound came out of his throat, and soon he saw a person running in in a hurry, kneeling in front of him and respectfully saying, "Ancestor Lieyang, are you out of the customs?"
” "Not yet, I am at the critical juncture of cultivation, I just received a distress letter from the Zhou family in the secular world, the Zhou family and I had a love of incense back then, I left them a letter, promising to help the descendants of the Zhou family once, and now the Zhou family has asked me for help, you send a few people to the Zhou family to see what is going on?
If you can help, you can help, and I returned this incense for me.
Burning Sun Ancestor's voice was empty.
"Yes, Sun Ancestor."
The man kneeling on the ground said respectfully.
Zhou Yinghai walked out of the secret room in the study, the letter left by the ancestor of the Zhou family has been lit, but whether it has any effect, Zhou Yinghai himself does not know, now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, no matter what method has to try.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yinghai heard the servant come to report to him that three strange people had come out to see him.
"Did they say who they were?"
Zhou Yinghai frowned, and did not associate the three of them with last night's letter.
"I didn't say it, they looked a little weird, and they said that they were here to save the Zhou family, I'm afraid it's not a nervous disorder, master, do you want me to send someone to drive them away."
Maid.
"Save the Zhou family?"
Zhou Yinghai pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said loudly: "Please, go and invite them in, no need, I'll invite them personally." ” Soon Zhou Yinghai came to the gate of the Zhou family, and sure enough, he saw three very strange people, on this hot day, these three people wore thick clothes, these clothes were a bit similar to Mongolian clothing, wrapped their whole body tightly, and wore a brown fur hat on top of their heads.
It felt as if the three of them had just come from a very cold place, and what was even more surprising was that there was not a drop of sweat on their faces.
The three of them glanced at Zhou Yinghai with some arrogance and said, "You are Zhou Yinghai, the contemporary head of the Zhou family?"
” Zhou Yinghai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly nodded: "I am Zhou Yinghai, may I ask who the three are?"
” "Last night, you lit the letter and asked the ancestor for help, and the ancestor sent the three of us to help."
When these three people heard that he was Zhou Yinghai, their attitude slowed down a lot.
Zhou Yinghai's heart was ecstatic, he didn't expect that the words of the old ancestor turned out to be true, after lighting the letter, someone would really come over to help them, and hurriedly said respectfully to the three of them: "The three masters, please." ” The three of them snorted, without any politeness, and swaggered in, and the people in the secular world said to them, which was undoubtedly equivalent to ants, and it was already a great favor to be able to get a response from them.
"What do you call the three masters?"
Zhou Yinghai welcomed these three people into the hall of the Zhou family, and sent someone to bring fragrant tea before he asked respectfully.
"Our secular name is no longer needed, my Dharma name is Yuan Xiu, he is Yuan Zhao, this is Yuan Sin."
One of the older-looking men spoke.
"The three masters have worked hard."
Zhou Yinghai memorized the names of these three people one by one.
"What trouble is your Zhou family going through?
You need to ask the ancestor for help. ” Yuan Xiu is the eldest disciple of Lieyang Ancestor, and he is also the eldest brother of Yuan Zhao and Yuan Sin, so he is also in charge of coming to the Zhou family this time.
"That's the case, my grandson was poisoned......
Zhou Yinghai told the three about Zhou Yunlong's situation.
"Take us to see it."
Yuan Xiu frowned, when he first listened to Zhou Yinghai's narration, he still seemed a little unimpressed, thinking that the head of the Zhou family was really a fool, and he used up such a precious letter for such a trivial matter, but after listening to it, he felt that things didn't seem to be so simple.
