Chapter 910.
Wang Chen had just sneaked back into his room at the inn, the night clothes on his body had not yet been changed, when suddenly his heart palpitated.
He turned his head towards the window, only to see flames and smoke rising from the Ling Clan’s ancestral hall!
The inn that Wang Chen stayed at was not far from the Ling Clan, and he had booked an upper room located on the third floor, which had the most open view, so he could see it extraordinarily clearly.
“The water’s gone!”
It was at this time that someone struck the warning gong, while yelling to put out the fire.
Wang Dust looked at the burning shrine, and his heart kept sinking.
He hadn’t left there for much time at all, it was impossible for a fire to suddenly start for no reason, the only explanation was that this fire was lit by the third uncle who was guarding the ancestral hall himself.
As for the purpose of this old man of the clan doing this ……
Wang Chen was tempted to say, “Old man, you really don’t need to do this!”
Although he had told his third granduncle about his current identity, Wang Dust had originally had no intention of hiding it-the Blood Clothes Guards simply wouldn’t recruit characters from unknown sources.
It was only a matter of time before the Ling Family’s side got the news.
It wouldn’t have mattered if Third Granduncle had spoken out.
But this old man still chose to die with the shrine he had guarded for half his life!
Then was it possible that it was because he was afraid that the secret of the whereabouts of the last two layers of the Xuan Heavenly Seven Deadly Wheel’s techniques would be forced out by others?
One must know that this secret, Third Granduncle didn’t even tell Ling Hongyun.
Or perhaps, Third Uncle Gong also knew about the secret room underneath the ancestral hall?
Again, in order to keep the secret, he chose to kill himself?
The truth of it would obviously be destroyed along with the burned shrine!
Wang Chen stood in front of the windowsill, his mood unable to calm down for a long time.
It seemed that Ling Zhiyuan still had a trace of his residual soul left in the deepest recesses of his memory, causing this situation to resonate with him.
The fire at the Ling Clan’s ancestral hall was extinguished not long after, without affecting the neighboring Ling Clan.
However, the impact caused by this incident had only just begun, and when Wang Chen was eating breakfast at the eatery next to the inn the next morning, he heard the other diners talking about it.
Some were gloating, some were sighing, and some were saying mysteriously that the Ling family was having a bad year, having lost a head of the family and having their ancestral hall burned down, and that sooner or later they would have to get rid of their name in the city of Anyang!
This person’s thieving eyebrows, said spitting, full of red face excited.
As if he mastered the Ling family’s many insider secrets, also attracted a crowd of idlers gathered around to listen, followed by echoing jokes.
And the more listeners there were, the more energized he became, and his words became even more vicious.
Thumb!
Suddenly a stone flew from nowhere and instantly struck the throat of this show-off guy.
“Ah!”
He instantly let out a miserable and hoarse cry of pain as he fell down with his hands covering his neck.
His limbs were convulsing and foaming at the mouth, and he could no longer speak!
Now, the people around him were all terrified, screaming and fleeing in all directions, fearing that they would be victimized by the fish.
The owner of the restaurant stomped his feet anxiously, “Don’t run away, you haven’t paid yet!”
At this time, Wang Dust rode his steed past the door.
He lightly glanced at the chaotic eatery, and then swung his horse whip and headed off.
Within a short time, Wang Dust left Anyang City far behind.
He steered his horse away from the official road and ran along the path until he reached a quiet and uninhabited place in the wilderness, and finally found a cave to stay in.
When night fell again, Wang Chen blocked the cave entrance with a rock and began to take stock of last night’s harvest at the shrine.
Under the light of the bonfire, one chest after another was opened.
In the first chest, Wang Dust opened a whole box of gold, half a foot long gold bricks spread all over the place.
The golden light was dazzling!
Although this chest was not large, Wang Dust estimated that the gold inside was at least ten thousand taels.
This was a staggering amount of wealth.
Then the second and third big box, all the silver stored inside is official silver, but in terms of value, the sum is far less than the first gold box.
Immediately after that, Wang Chen opened knives, swords, armor, and other weaponry, as well as bottles of pills sealed in jade bottles.
These weapons and equipment were all first-rate fine products that were extremely well preserved, while the pills covered healing, detoxification, energy-strengthening, blood replenishing, qi nourishing, and other types of adult medicines.
Their quantity was large enough to fulfill the needs of a small family for decades.
And the surprise was yet to come.
In the other three boxes, precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, yellow essence, asparagus, golden thread lotus, and so on were stored.
One of the ginseng was at least five hundred years old, a heavenly treasure that could not be found!
Wang Chen was very satisfied.
The potential points he needed the most were eaten out, and the more advanced the ingredients, the more points he could obtain.
This five hundred year old ginseng was sliced and stewed, and after all of it was digested and absorbed, the potential points gained were bound to be amazing!
Together with the other herbs, Wang Chuan only needed to get a recipe for a nourishing meal, so he wouldn’t need to worry about potential points for a long time to come.
It doesn’t matter if these herbs are finished, he still has enough gold and silver to buy them again!
And the last mouthful of boxes was the most special, actually the big box sets the small box, the whole set of three layers of sandalwood embedded with gold edges.
The innermost small box opened, the first thing that caught Wang Dust’s eye was a book.
Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheels!
The five large, powerful and majestic characters on the cover were particularly eye-catching.
Wang Chen couldn’t wait to pick up the book and flip through it, and a big stone in his heart quickly fell to the ground.
He had come to Anyang City this time to search for treasures, and his main purpose was to find the techniques for the fourth and fifth layers of the Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel.
And the contents recorded in this secret book covered the general outline of the Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel and all the techniques of the first to fifth layers of the heart secret!
Not only that, Wang Chuan also found a thick pile of silver bills at the bottom of the box, as well as a dozen land deeds and house deeds.
The total face value of the silver bills alone added up to half a million taels, and what surprised Wang Chuan even more was that all of these land and house deeds were actually for properties in Great Yecheng, the capital of the Great Liang Empire!
All of the deeds looked new, and were undoubtedly the handiwork of Ling Hongyun.
The value of property in Great Yecheng, even if Wang Chen wasn’t sure of the exact price, he knew that it was very expensive.
These land and house deeds would be enough capital for a family to re-emerge!
The most important thing was that they did not depreciate easily.
For this father of the original body, Wang Chen was still quite admiring.
He roughly counted everything all together, the total value should be between one and a half million to two million silver taels, and most of them were hard currency.
I’m afraid that most of the Ling Family’s hundreds of years of accumulation was here!
To be honest, Wang Chen was wondering if Ling Hongyun had foreseen that there would be today a long time ago, and had made all the arrangements that resulted in him, the dove-tailed outsider, getting his hands on this wealth.
He shook his head and reincorporated all of it into his storage space.
Only the Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel secret book was left behind.
