0681 Chapter Secrets of the Ancient Wu Family
Bai Caosheng looked at Li Shilin again, and then said to Chu Nan: "Everyone said that Zhu has a close relationship with Chi, and this is indeed true. Shilin really looks much better than before, and Mr. Chu has troubled him."
Chu Nan smiled and said, "If Mr. Bai thinks I'm just trying to worry about Shilin, it's not entirely right. I'm really for Brother Li, but on the other hand, I'm also for Mr. Bai. I hope you won't be complained by your daughter in the future, and I hope your daughter can marry a useful person."
Bai Caosheng laughed and said, "Young Master Chu is good at talking, but why do you want to help our Bai family?"
Chu Nan took out a token from his arms, held it in his palm, and said with a serious look on his face: "Actually, I have always wanted to take this out and ask Mr. Bai, is this a token of the Bai family?"
After seeing the plaid on the golden token in Chu Nan's hand from afar, Bai Caosheng's face changed drastically. He stood up and walked over quickly. He grabbed the token with a hand, staring at the token in his hand, his hands trembling constantly, and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I would see the light of heaven again... Where did you...get it from?"
Chu Nan said, "Mr. Bai, please sit down first, I'll tell you."
After Bai Caosheng sat down, Chu Nan began to tell Bai Caosheng about his experience bit by bit. Bai Caosheng couldn't help but shed tears as he listened.
Seeing Bai Caosheng's true feelings, Chu Nan had already guessed that this token must have something to do with the Bai family, and the two white bones may have a deep relationship with Bai Caosheng.
Bai Caosheng lamented, stood up tremblingly, and said, "Young Master Chu, thank you. I want to thank you on behalf of our entire foreign branch..."
Chu Nan hurriedly got up two steps forward, helped Bai Caosheng and sat down, and said, "What's going on? I, a junior, can't be regarded as your gift."
The butler Bai Changshou seemed to be a little excited and sighed: "Young Master Chu doesn't know the importance of those two people to our master. If you can find and bury the corpses of those two people, you are already the benefactor of our entire Bai family."
Chu Nan said: "That's because the two seniors saved me first. Although they were dead, it was the things they carried with them that saved my life, so Meijia and I have always been very grateful for this."
Liu Meijia also said: "Yes, Mr. Bai, what's going on? Tell us about it!"
Bai Caosheng thought for a while and said, "Since you have found out the bones of my sister and brother-in-law and buried them, then you are my Bai Caosheng's benefactor. It's okay to tell you some things. I wonder if you have heard of the four words of the ancient martial arts family?"
Chu Nan had really heard from the old man before that it was said to be some very mysterious and powerful families. These families have many martial arts masters and master the most exquisite martial arts passed down from China. However, because the current society is so developed, fewer people learn martial arts and fewer people communicate, and there is much less creativity. In addition, these families are very autistic, lack communication and innovate in daily life. As the age of time, many martial arts have begun to lose. Therefore, although the modern ancient martial arts families are still powerful, they are no longer comparable to their former glory.
In short, although the old man used several powerful words to describe the ancient martial arts family when he mentioned it, his words were filled with regret and disdain.
Bai Caosheng continued: "There are eight ancient martial arts families hidden in this China. These ancient martial arts families have never been concerned about the world. There are countless masters in the family. Among all the families, the three most powerful families are the Murong family, the Wang family and the Zhuge family. The strengths of these three ancient martial arts families are at the same time. It is hard to say which one is stronger. Our Bai family can rank fourth among the eight ancient martial arts families, second only to these three major families."
Chu Nan said oh, "This is amazing too!"
"Yes, these three major families originally had a delicate balance, but fifty years ago, a peerless genius appeared in the Zhuge family. His name was Zhuge Dianfeng. Zhuge Dianfeng reached the king level at the age of 20, and at the age of 30, he had reached the top level of the king. This is a peerless genius in the ancient martial arts family that has been rare in thousands of years. At the age of 35, he became the patriarch of the Zhuge family. The improvement of his strength also made his ambitions begin to grow. King Peak can basically be regarded as the first person under the Emperor, and it is well known that there has been no powerful emperor level in the entire China for thousands of years!"
"Although the patriarchs of the other two major families are also at the peak of the king, the patriarchs of the other two ancient martial arts families are about sixty years old and are still at the peak of the king. There is basically no chance to move forward. Moreover, when they were at that age, they obviously would no longer have any advantage when they fought Zhuge Dingfeng."
"So, Zhuge Dingfeng's ambition began to grow. He proposed to establish an ancient martial arts family, unify all ancient martial arts families, and then elected the strongest person to be the patriarch of this ancient martial arts family. He also proposed that the ancient martial arts family should be above the current China Kingdom, and the new leader should negotiate with the China Kingdom, so that the leader of the ancient martial arts family would become the emperor-like existence of the Little Bug Kingdom."
Chu Nan cursed, "Is this bastard dreaming?"
"Everyone feels that he is dreaming, thinking that he is a lunatic. Even the ancient martial arts families at their peak hundreds of years ago could not do this, let alone now. You should know that there were dozens of ancient martial arts families hundreds of years ago, and there were countless masters in it, and there were endless king-levels. I even heard that there were powerful people at the Emperor-level level. But now? Not to mention the Emperor-level level, the peak of the King is already a rare existence."
Chu Nan said: "The current technology and military are so developed, it is no longer time for you to do whatever you want with your kung fu, let alone you won't know how much power the country has in its hands."
Bai Caosheng laughed and said, "At that time, most people thought so, but Zhuge Dianfeng was too strong. The ancient martial arts family has always been respected by the strong. The elders in the two families who strongly opposed the most died. After that, the Murong family and the Wang family began to unite, and Zhuge Dianfeng began to calm down."
Chu Nan smiled and said, "This is the same as the Warring States Period. If you are too strong, you will naturally force other families to unite. If you are a real hero, you will definitely not be like him."
"Well, so he is not a hero either. How can I say that, I think he is just an ambitious person."
Although Chu Nan felt interesting when he heard it, he couldn't help asking in the end: "You have said so much, what does this have to do with your sister and brother-in-law?"
"I'm going to talk about this soon. Our Bai family is considered an existence in the ancient martial arts family. My grandfather is a rebellious person. He has a talent for martial arts, but he is unwilling to practice martial arts at home. Instead, he secretly ran out and established a commercial family in the outside society."
Chu Nan asked, "It's your external branch?"
"That's right, because we are not the core of the Bai family, we are called the outer branch. Later, we were recognized by the Bai family. Our profits every year are charged to 30% of the inner branch. Every year, the patriarch will return to the Bai family's inner branch to worship his ancestors, so we go back at least once a year. In addition, both sides are at peace."
"It was until our generation that my father gave birth to four children, Bai Caofang, Bai Caosheng, Bai Caogui, Bai Caoyan, and a total of four of us."
"The Bai family has always been dominated by men, but my elder sister is a talented woman. In terms of ability and intelligence, she is ten times more powerful than our four brothers. So my father made an exception back then and planned to let her take over as the head of the family. My age is relatively young, and my sister is ten years older than me. So when she was young, she took care of me as if she was taking care of children. Because her parents are strict, she has been the closest relative in the world since I was a child."
Perhaps because of some excitement, Bai Caosheng coughed violently twice. After spreading his palm, there was some blood in his palm. Chu Nan frowned and looked at Bai Caosheng's face carefully, and a little worried appeared in his eyes.
"When my sister was over 20 years old, my father had already planned to hand over the position of the head of the family to my sister. At this time, an accident happened. Because in the year when my father was about to hand over the family to my sister with peace of mind, my father took his sister back to the clan to worship his ancestors. At that time, in addition to the core elders of our Bai family, the patriarch of each other family was also invited. After the ancestor worship was over, the patriarch of the Bai family told me that Zhuge Dianfeng was going to propose marriage to the Bai family and hoped that his sister could marry Zhuge Dianfeng."
Chu Nan asked, "How old was Zhuge Dianfeng at that time?"
"It looks like you're about thirty-five or six years old."
"Oh, how old is your sister?"
“Age over twenty.”
"Damn, this is always asking the old cow to eat tender grass!"
Bai Caosheng smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, by age, it's not a big deal. The Zhuge family was the leader of the eight major families at that time. If our two families could marry, no family in the entire ancient martial arts family could compare with us. Therefore, the patriarchs and elders in the family agreed, and only my father said that I had to ask my sister for advice."
"Your sister objected? And she has fallen in love with someone else for a long time?"
Bai Caosheng said in surprise: "Young Master Chu is indeed extremely smart."
"Smart, that's how it's written in bloody novels."
Bai Caosheng smiled bitterly and said, "Life is like a novel. Some things can happen sometimes. Some things are bloody, but they are like life. You are right. My sister strongly opposed it and said she would rather die than marry. It turned out that she had already gotten into a soldier man in the outside world, so she said she wanted to marry the soldier's wife. This incident directly annoyed the side of the Neichi, and began to put pressure on my father there. Zhuge Dianfeng also put pressure on him, saying that even if he was tied up, he would tie him up. My father knew Zhuge Dianfeng's methods, so he had to discuss with my sister."
"And then, my sister suddenly disappeared one day. Many people were monitoring my sister, but my sister still left, and the soldier she liked also disappeared, so we knew that they were elopement."
"I will not know anything about what happened after that. The token you got in your hand is the special token of the head of the outer branch of our Bai family. Seeing the token is like seeing the head of the family. At that time, my sister was about to take over our outer branch family, so the token was handed over to his hands in advance."
Chu Nan nodded and said, "Oh, I understand, I just don't know what happened to your sister and your...brother-in-law later encountered something and actually died in the cave. I guess they were chased and killed at that time, but who did it, it's unknown."
