The final result is that everything went smoothly all along.
Seeing a lake from a great distance, under the darkness of the night, it looks like a black gemstone, very transparent and attractive.
Can see the distant side, the mountain flat ground rise up, towering clouds, Luo family large houses quietly snuggle in the lake.
Upon our arrival at the Luo family's gate, there were no other people present except for the two gate guards.
I learned that "old Gong" had greeted the Luo family first. It turned out that the person with a Luo surname on his upper body was named Luo Chiyang.
The name has a "Yang" character, but actually he cannot do any good, all of them are heartless and cruel.
At a glance, they did not recognize who I was, and one of them even asked in confusion, "Where are the other clan members? The Deputy Clan Master didn't notify everyone to come back? Everyone is in the hall for a meeting."
It can be seen that I really look much worse recently.
“The more you control, the more you control, and it's enough to return only one of them. You all, really don't see things clearly.” Old Gong gave a few people a glance and then said: “Why don't you look at him carefully? Who is he?”
The two guards looked at me with suspicion, scrutinizing me closely for several seconds before their expressions changed dramatically!
"Luo Xian Sheng!"
They were immediately as if they had faced a great enemy, with expressions of terror and intense anger!
I, however, maintained a calm expression, as still as an ancient well.
The two guards immediately wanted to rush into the hall, but old Gong shouted, "What are you running for? If he comes to cause trouble, wouldn't we all be killed right now? He is coming back to apologize to the family."
With these words, the two guards finally stopped and looked at me with even more astonishment, but they were much more relaxed.
"All right, I'll take him there myself. It's better to be timely than to be on time. The grandmama is heading to the Black City Temple, and Luo Xian Shen is willing to return as well. This saves the trouble of the temple people constantly coming out to look for him. Our Luo family has achieved another great merit." Old Gong said this and led me inside.
The expressions of the two guards became extremely excited and overjoyed.
The way they looked at me carried a few unusual and peculiar emotions.
The room inside was of an immense layout, with no other arrangement, making it feel very empty. There was a door on each of the three walls. Old Gong led me straight into the door in the center, walking deeper inside. Although I had only been to the Luo family once, the environment here was still fresh in my memory.
The winding path was full of complicated intersections and parallel buildings. It took about 300 meters to walk along this corridor before seeing a large house in an open area.
The side rooms were all closed, but the main building was open, with at least several dozen people inside. There were also Luo family members outside on both sides of the door. It could be said that except for women and children, all the capable Luo family clan members were present here.
Upon seeing us, their first reaction was surprise, just like the guards, they were puzzled as to why only two people had returned.
The next instant, they turned into shock, stunned, and outraged!
My expression remained unchanged. I knew not many people in the Luo family, but Luo Zhi Zhong was one of them, followed by the silver-haired Luo family patriarch.
Beside him was an elderly woman, dressed in great splendor, but with her head also entirely white, in the twilight of her years.
My father's Luo blood came from that elderly woman, not from the Luo family patriarch.
Indeed, there was a similarity between that old woman's face and my father's, and even between me and her, there were some resemblance in the eyebrows and eyes.
I stopped at the doorway, while Old Gong hurried forward. He did not stop beside the Luo family patriarch but beside Luo Zhi Zhong, and whispered an explanation.
Of course, this low sound was relative. Everyone in the hall could hear what he said.
The meaning was that I, like Luo Mu Ye, had returned to the Luo family voluntarily. I also wanted to enter the Black City Temple. Therefore, when I arrived in the county, I found a contact point. Unexpectedly, the people of Wula Fo-yan found me because of some unknown reason. Perhaps Luo Kang and Luo Yong exposed the location of the contact point, killing some of our clan members. He only managed to bring me back to the clan just in time.
Old Gong had consumed Luo Chi Yang's soul and knew many details. This speech sounded impeccable.
Luo Zhi Zhong nodded slightly before speaking: "Good job, Chi Yang! However, why didn't you explain clearly over the phone?"
Old Gong lowered his head to explain, "Some people from Wula Fo-yan were following us very closely. I was afraid that if the news spread within the clan and people were sent out, it would expose our location. Luo Mu Ye entering the Black City Temple has already established the Luo family's future position in the temple. Luo Xian Shen's return is like adding frost to an already perfect cake. If he were to come, and that led to the abbot of Wula Fo-yan finding out, it would be a loss."
"Therefore, I thought, either I die halfway, and Luo Xian Shen is taken away or killed by Wula Fo-yan, or I bring Luo Xian Shen back and add to the family's impending reward."
To be honest, if it weren't for me knowing that it was Old Gong's spirit taking over, I might not be able to tell that "Luo Chi Yang" was in a serious state. It would be difficult to tell that he had become another person.
This speech was full of too much family righteousness.
"Good! Very good, Chi Yang, you have foresight and vigilance! Indeed, the A Gong Lama from the Wula Fo-yan has become an abbot. He was once a friend of Mu Ye. Mu Ye's voluntary return to the Black City Temple will undoubtedly anger him greatly. Haha, this is divine favor for our Luo family!"
The old and white-haired Luo family patriarch looked very excited.
It was only at this point that he completely fixed his gaze on me.
"Ruo Xian Shen, you are indeed filially pious. Can't you bear to part with your father?" The head of the Luo family looked at me deeply.
I looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, what is the matter?"
He shook his head slightly before saying, "You are indeed a man of courage. Filial piety is indeed something you have inherited from my Luo family."
I inwardly hesitated for a moment, feeling more of sarcasm. The Luo family also has so-called deep feelings and righteousness? It's just adding a few more layers of grandeur to the mask of hypocrisy.
"I'm tired and sleepy. I want to rest for a day. Tomorrow night, I will follow you. If there are no other things, I will stay in that room. It's okay, right?"
Pointed to a pavilion on the left side of the large house.
Delays one day so that it will be easier for Old Gong to possess me at night.
Most of the Luo family looked at me coldly, but after Luo Zhi Zhong spoke, he said: "Ruo Xian Shen, do you really think you've come back to your own home? When to leave and when to stay is all up to you. You can walk into the Black City Temple yourself, or be bundled in by force!"
It's clear that the previous fire incident at Luo family has left them a deep lesson.
"Grandmaster Luo, you choose for yourself. Would you rather let me rest well and go with you to the Black City Temple tomorrow night to everyone's satisfaction, or would you like to test my abilities? Under the lightning, no one is perfect, don't think that I'm a soft target just because I came back with my father." I narrowed my eyes and looked directly at the Luo family patriarch.
At once, the surrounding Luo family members were filled with anger, and everyone wanted to draw their weapons.
The head of the Luo family raised his hands, lowered them, and then laughed, "Why not fight? Zhi Zhong, you're saying this wrong. Ruo Xian Shen is also a member of my Luo family. He just happened to be left outside."
Between his words, he turned his head to glance at Luo Zhi Zhong and continued, "Family matters should not involve fighting. Ruo Xian Shen may have his own reasons for entering the Black City Temple, but once inside, what happens to him is up to him and the Black City Temple. For now, peacefully escorting him in is the limit of what our Luo family can do."
"Besides, Xian Shen, I hope you can call me grandpa, not just the family patriarch."
The wrinkle by the corner of the eyes of the head of the Luo family deepened significantly. His smile was fake and pretentious, but he did a great job on the surface.
"Is it you or Xin Bo? Do you dare to respond if I really call you that?"
"I asked him back,"
At that moment, everything in the hall and the courtyard outside fell into an abrupt silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
