Chapter 288 Showdown (8)
"Brother, I'm going to the pharmacy to get some medicine. I'll need it when I question the four Wufengs later."
Zhang Xueming obtained Gong Shangjiao's consent and left the tea room hand in hand with Gong Yuanzheng.
During the movement, the snow-white kitten on the lavender dress and the little red carp with gold edges on the lilac robe would rub against each other affectionately from time to time.
The soft bright colors and lively and cute little animals seem to be incompatible with this lifeless palace gate, but they have an enviable vitality and beauty.
Gong Huanyu didn't look away until the two figures disappeared. He glanced at Gong Shangjiao, who lowered his eyes and smiled calmly, and whispered, "What a big change."
As brothers who have been together for many years, Gong Ziyu naturally knew who he was talking about, and he whispered in envy: "Yes, they are really lucky."
Mr. Hua gently poked Gong Zishang's elbow and said, "Miss, Mr. Jiao and Mr. Zheng seem to have gained some weight?"
Gong Zishang elbowed him in annoyance and said, "What do you know? That's called the expansion of happiness."
Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng were unaware that someone was talking about them from behind. As they walked, they chatted privately through their soul marks.
[Zhao Zhao, do you think it's feasible to strike while the iron is hot and propose relocation? ]
[It’s better not to do that. We need them to beg us to do this. If we push them, they will just think we are exaggerating and have planned this.]
[Zhao Zhao said that Yun Weishan was a direct descendant of the Feng family, but Elder Fenggong was already quite old at that time, and his only daughter had lost her fertility...]
[I said she was a direct descendant, and Elder Yue did not refute. Elder Fenggong must have nephews or nieces. Calculating the time, Yun Weishan is exactly the third generation. ]
[If Zhao Zhao wanted to confirm Yun Weishan's identity, she could just bring her and Jackdaw Si, why did she bring Shangguan Qian and Jackdaw Qi as well? ]
【I have a bad guess. 】
[Is Zhao Zhao afraid that Shangguan Qian and the two jackdaws are descendants of the Feng family? ]
[Feng Gong has been away from the palace for more than 40 years. Anything is possible.]
[…Even if those four people were, we would not leave them inside the palace gate.]
[That's for sure. Regardless of whether the four of them have any connection with the Feng family, their hands must have been stained with the blood of Gongmen people. Otherwise, Leader Wufeng would not be willing to let them come to Gongmen's territory.]
……
Of course it was impossible to prepare the medicine. The medicine was all in Zhang Xueming's storage space. She just asked Gong Yuanzheng to come out for some fresh air to give the old men some time to accept the cruel reality.
[What medicine does Zhao Zhao want those four Wu Fengs to try?] Gong Yuanzheng looked at her curiously as she took out a small medicine bottle from the red carp string around her waist.
Zhang Xueming took out four shallow blue-grey medicine bowls from the cabinet, thought for a moment, and asked him to fetch the set of facial features puzzles used to assemble a person's face: [The medicine that can verify bloodline was inspired by our recognition of our relationship.]
Gong Yuanzheng entered the innermost pharmacy and came out a moment later carrying a small box containing puzzle pieces.
Zhang Xueming handed the medicine bottle over: [Don't you want to take a look? It's liquid medicine, be careful not to spill it on your hands. ]
Gong Yuanzheng put down the box, uncorked the bottle, fanned it with his hand, sniffed it, and after a little thought, he reported all the herbs used. He smiled in surprise: [This combination is absolutely wonderful! Has Zhao Zhao finished reading all those notes? This time, all the herbs used are unique to the Old Dust Valley. ]
[Yes. I have deduced it many times. Put a drop of medicine in half a bowl of water, add a drop of blood as a sample, stir it well and let the person who needs to be verified drink it. After a quarter of an hour, check the Cunguan acupoint of this person. If a red blood spot appears in the Cunguan acupoint, it means that this person and the person who dropped the blood have the same blood, regardless of whether the blood comes from the father's family or the mother's family.]
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes turned: [Then can we use Gong Ziyu's blood as a sample? ]
[Yes. As long as there is a direct blood relative who has married into the Feng family, their descendants will more or less inherit the Feng family's bloodline.]
Gong Yuanzheng put the medicine bottle into his arms with a smile, picked up the small bamboo basket containing the medicine bowl and spoon, and Zhang Xueming picked up the puzzle box. The two of them walked briskly back to the tea room.
However, before conducting the experiment, Zhang Xueming had to ask all the questions he needed to ask.
Looking at the three old men drinking tea silently, Zhang Xueming smiled slightly. Instead of returning to his original seat, he pulled Gong Yuanzheng over to sit next to Gong Shangjiao and said, "My elders, I have a few more questions for you."
The three old men were numbed by her continuous bombardment and raised their eyelids to indicate that they were listening.
She asked bluntly, "What kind of demon is suppressed in the mountain behind the palace gate?"
Gong Yuanzheng took the horror paintings of Zhang Xueming that Gong Shangjiao secretly handed to him, held them up cooperatively, and showed them to everyone one by one. After making sure that everyone was scared, he passed the paintings to the elders with satisfaction.
He chimed in, "Yeah, we also want to know, how terrible is that demon to make our ancestors come up with the Infinite Flowing Fire, a weapon that can almost destroy a country, to suppress it? Are they really just planning to let the palace and the demon perish together, instead of letting the world perish along with the palace?"
The three old men felt exhausted, and Gong Yuanzheng's disrespectful words towards their ancestors failed to arouse their anger.
The idea of using the meteorite as an excuse to resist disappeared in an instant, and Elder Hua pushed those scary paintings in front of Elder Xue.
The man who always strictly abided by the family rules showed obvious disdain and frowned, saying, "There is no scary monster. What was suppressed in the back mountain are just some strange people. There is no need to wipe out half of the Southland at once."
Who knows what the ancestors were thinking. Elder Hua had not expected that the tradition of letting Hua Palace keep the blueprints was because they were closest to the volcano.
Think about the high-temperature fumaroles in the Huagong Foundry, and the lava spring in a hidden cave that can melt black iron and meteorite copper. Then think about what Gong Shangjiao said, that a dormant volcano does not necessarily need to use the infinite flowing fire to wake up. Maybe one day the volcano will wake up naturally after getting enough sleep...
Elder Hua couldn't help but shiver.
It is true that the direct descendants of the Hua family are only him and his son, but there are hundreds of collateral descendants, all living on the other side of the volcano. When the volcano erupts, it is unknown whether the aliens will be destroyed or not, but the Hua family will be the first to be destroyed.
Elder Xue was also very depressed. If living at the foot of a volcano is not good, then living at the foot of a snowy mountain is better? Once the magma comes, all the snowy mountains will melt together, and there will be avalanches and floods... nothing will be left alive.
He explained to Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng with a gloomy face: "The size of those aliens is not much different from that of ordinary people, and their strength is about two to three times that of ordinary people. If it weren't for their hard skin, invulnerable to swords and guns, and their extremely sharp nails, and the highly contagious toxins, ten Red Jade Servant can clean them up in one night just based on their strength and speed."
There's really no need to do something as outrageous as a volcanic funeral.
