The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 341 The Patriarch
Fulfill your mission and return safely!
I dispersed the starlight surrounding me and showed a peaceful smile to Mo Chen.

When Mo Chen saw that the so-called divine messenger turned out to be the boy who was personally sent to undergo the death test, leaving him with no hope of survival, even the wily man couldn't help but rub his eyes. His face was in disbelief.

"Are you...really you...?" Mo Chen said in an excited tone.

Soon the elder beside him asked cautiously: "Old Hall Master, do you know this divine envoy?"

They haven't seen me yet, and they don't know that I am the arrogant guy they say is desperate and has brought down the entire humanity.

Mo Chen straightened his back, raised his chest, and said calmly: "What a divine envoy, his name is Zhao Dengtang! He is the boy you despise!"

"Not only did he not affect the overall situation, but he came back alive, which shows that he passed the test of a saint!"

Those elders suddenly showed incredible expressions and looked at me with incredible eyes.

Soon Mo Chen said in a commanding tone: "Zhao Dengtang has passed the test and will obey the instructions of the ancestor. He will become the most important person in our Luban Sect, and seeing him is like meeting the ancestor. From now on, his status in the Shou Shengtang will be Will be far greater than me, have you ever heard?"

Although the elders were still a little confused, they all responded one after another.

This scene made me feel a little flattered. I really didn’t expect that after passing the test, I would be treated so favorably.

However, I did not get carried away because of this. Although Luban taught the temple to be a big help, the pressure behind it was even greater.

Accepting their support means that I have to bear the secrets that the Holy Temple has guarded for generations. From now on, I will embark on a path of no return.

So I waved my hands to Mo Chen and the others and said, "Seniors, there is no need to be so generous. I am just a lucky boy. Being able to pass the test by chance is due to luck and the help of past hall masters."

After being humbled, I changed the topic and said resolutely: "But since I am lucky enough to have passed the test, I naturally understand the responsibilities I will bear. From now on, I hope that we can work together to solve the mystery and unravel the mystery that shrouds humanity. Let the fog dissipate and let us protect the immortality of humanity together.”

My tone was neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor low-key, and I had just the right sense of proportion. The elders who guarded the temple accepted me instantly. After all, I didn't turn my back on guests, and I gave them enough face.

Mo Chen also nodded at me repeatedly, his eyes full of approval, obviously he didn't expect that I would have such a sophisticated way of dealing with the world at such a young age.

Soon Mo Chen spoke again: "Follow the teachings of our ancestors and pass the saint test, and you will get all the secrets that I guard in the temple. My dear friends, please come with me."

What was supposed to come finally came, I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Although even if the Saint Guard tells me all the secrets, I may not be able to understand the overall situation immediately, but I believe that I can at least roughly figure out the next direction and let me know what to do next.With excitement, I followed Mo Chen all the way, and soon we returned to the ancestral hall.

The tablets on the ancestral hall have clearly changed at this time. Compared with before, there are more blood marks. The blood marks are very similar to the shape of ink cartridges.

Looking at these blood seals, Mo Chen nodded and said: "It seems that you not only passed the test, but also made the previous hall masters extremely satisfied. You have gained a lot from them. I would like to congratulate you on your entrance into the hall."

I don’t know how he saw it, but it’s not important, so I immediately said: “Old Hall Master, let’s get straight to the point. Tell me all your secrets. Only after I figure out the truth can I proceed with the overall situation. judgment."

Mo Chen did not tell me everything immediately, but pressed a few buttons under the altar table in the ancestral hall.

Soon the walls of the ancestral hall creaked again, which was the sound of the mechanism operating.

I trembled, wondering if there would be another test?
Soon the wall was reversed and a secret room was hidden behind it.

Mo Chen pointed to the secret room and said to me: "Don't worry, little friend, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"But such an important matter must naturally be carried out in front of the Grandmaster. I will take you to see the Grandmaster first."

I followed Mo Chen into the secret room and soon discovered an incorruptible humanoid wooden sculpture.

This wood carving was so lifelike that I recognized it at a glance as the statue of Gongshu Ban, the founder of the Luban religion.

But soon I discovered that there was a person sitting next to the wooden sculpture.

At first glance, it looks like a living person meditating. He is in his sixtieth year, giving people a mysterious feeling of returning to nature.

But I soon discovered that this was not a living person, but a corpse, which might even have been dead for countless years.

I was about to ask Mo Chen who this corpse was, and why it was placed together with the ancestor's public transportation team, but Mo Chen spoke to me in a tone of awe.

Mo Chen said: "Zhao Dengtang, before I tell you the secret of how I guard the temple, I must first pay homage to the two ancestors."
