Beginning Clock-In Emperor

Chapter 54

The ancestral land, in an old house.

The clan old man sat cross-legged, his breath was extremely weak, and his whole body seemed to die at any time.

He has reached the realm of twilight, his life is exhausted, and he is about to sit down.

“Clan elder, you…”

The captain of the guards and a group of guards looked at him sadly.

The clan elder’s face was withered, his eyes were a little dim, and he swept everyone one by one.

“My whole life is dedicated to the royal family, to this great Xia ancestral land.”

“The mission of generations will eventually be broken in my generation.”

The clan elder said weakly, people are almost at the end, like an oil lamp, when the oil is exhausted, the lamp is about to go out.

“Clan elder…” The guard captain didn’t know what to say.

He was pulled up by the clan elder with one hand, and even taught him how to practice martial arts by hand to form an ancestral guard.

After all, the royal family did not send anyone over, all the clan elders have been guarding here for generations.

Now the last guardian will sit down, and no one will guard the spirit anymore.

“You were trained by me alone. After I leave, you don’t have to continue to guard here, just leave and go home.”

The clan elder suddenly made a decision.

After he died, he didn’t want to keep these guards here to guard, let them go back.

“Clan elders, we won’t leave.”

The captain of the guard knelt down with a sad look, and the other guards knelt on the ground one after another.

“This is the last order I gave you. After I die, you just separated and never come back again.”

“Remember, prepare later, and dismiss everyone today. I have done enough for the royal family, and it will be the end of my generation.”

When the clan elder said this, the whole person’s spirit suddenly improved, and his face was red.

“Go down and call Wuchen…”

The clan elder said with full anger.

“No, I’m here already.”

At this moment, a person walked in outside the door, it was Xia Chen.

He still decided to take the clan elder one last time. After all, after so long here, the only person who knew his identity was the old man in front of him.

“You are here.” The clan elder’s eyes lit up and he waved his hand and said: “You all go down, pack up your things and dismiss all the handymen, don’t come back again.”

“Yes, clan elder!”

The captain of the guard and a group of guards knelt on the ground in grief and snapped their heads three times.

Then they withdrew one by one, leaving only Xia Chen and the clan elder.

“His Royal Highness, forgive me for not saluting.”

The clan elder gasped and said.

Xia Chen shook his head, “No, clan elder, what else do you wish for?”

“wish?”

The clan elder looked in a daze, and smiled faintly: “I have no children and no daughters in my life, and I have devoted my entire life here without worry.”

“With the senior reinforcement seal, I died without regrets. It’s time for relief.”

Speaking of this, his eyes became a little dim, as if he was about to die at any time.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly, “His Royal Highness, after I leave, you should leave here too and go back to the palace. After all, you don’t belong here.”

“I have reported to the court, and the saint should send someone over to take over here.”

The clan elder spoke for a while, and his breath became weaker.

“You don’t need to worry about this. Do you have any more wishes? I can help you complete it.”

Xia Chen asked calmly.

After hearing this, the clan elder smiled freely and freely: “Thank your Highness Jiu for his kindness. The only thing the old man is concerned about is the seal of the back mountain. Since there is a senior, I have my wish.”

“His Royal Highness, old man go…”

Before he finished speaking, the clan elder’s breath declined, his head slowly drooping, his breath disappeared, and he was sitting down after all.

Looking at the sitting elders, Xia Chen was silent. A mortal, after all, only a hundred years old, even the elders with Grand Great Master Realm in Cultivation Base.

Still only lived for more than a hundred years, and now it has come to an end.

“Go well, I will settle the seal.”

Xia Chen said something silently, but actually wanted to say that the senior you were talking about was me.

But he didn’t say that watching the clan elder die, he was dead, and he left without a trace of care or regret.

He himself was childless and lonely all his life. He had guarded this place for generations by the Daxia royal family until his generation was completely over.

Xia Chen silently turned and walked out of the room. Outside, a group of guards waited quietly.

“The clan elder has passed away, so you can take care of the funeral for him.”

After he finished speaking, Dia left, only the captain of the guard and a group of guards heard the tears of sorrow.

“Old Clan!”

There was a cry, and Xia Chen felt a little bit in his heart.

The life of a mortal is less than a hundred years, and it will pass in a hurry.

But Practitioner cultivation is to break the fate of mortals and obtain a longer life span. To put it bluntly, it is to fight for fate with the sky.

Only at Nirvana can one have five hundred years of life.

Thinking that she now has a life span of one thousand years, Xia Chen felt a deep touch in her heart.

This is the charm of cultivation, but also the charm of longevity.

He doesn’t need to worry about the funeral of the clan elder. There are guards in the ancestral land and a large number of handymen to help, which is done properly.

Although there is no scenery, but at least it is decent.

The clan elder was buried in a tomb in the ancestral ground, which was specially prepared for the spirit guards.

After finishing the funeral of the clan elder, the captain of the guard summoned everyone, including all the chores in the ancestral land.

“Today, one thing needs to be announced.”

The captain of the guard spoke with a sad heart.

He glanced at the crowd and said slowly: “According to the clan elder’s last wish, all guards and handymen in the ancestral land shall be disbanded. Everyone will rush away after receiving the money and food and go home.”

“what?”

“Send us?”

Hearing this news, all the handymen present exclaimed, they couldn’t believe it.

Why is the ancestral land no longer needed to take care of everyone?

Xia Chen’s thoughts in the crowd were also very surprised. Did the clan elder confess to dismiss everyone before he died?

But he didn’t care, and it didn’t matter much to him whether he left or not.

Even if everyone is gone, it is just right to be quiet and stay here alone to guard the ancestral land and the imperial tomb.

“Let’s go away.”

The captain of the guard waved his hand heavily and dispersed one by one.

They are not standard personnel of the imperial court, and they do not have the imperial court’s subsidies. They were formed by the support of the clan elder alone.

Now that he is dead, there is no one to support these, the only possibility is to dismiss them all.

As for the ancestral land, he has a clear conscience. He has been dedicated here for generations, and even he is lonely and died here. What else can he say?

Even if the royal family needs repairs in the future, it is up to the royal family to send people over again.

Regarding these, Xia Chen ignored it, and it was impossible for the guard captain to let him leave.

There is such a good place to nest, why have to go?

“all gone…”

On the mountain peak, Xia Chen silently watched the guards and handymen below the ancestral land, carrying their bags and rushing to the empty space.

Except Xia Chen himself, there was no one here.

“Let’s go, figure it out.”

Xia Chen muttered to herself, there is no joy or sorrow, this is the scene that people are talking about when they go to tea and cool it?

They were all recruited by the clan elders before they were alive, and it was normal to dismiss everyone after death, and it didn’t matter at all.

As the clan elders became seated, the entire ancestral land was suddenly empty, and only Xia Chen still silently cleaned every corner of the ancestral land every day.

I still carry water, grow vegetables, and chop wood every day, but now I am a person.

On the contrary, Xia Chen was cleansed, and the whole person seemed to blend in with nature, and the breath and the surrounding plants and trees became one with each other, making it more difficult to figure out.
