At this moment, Guan Shihua respectfully said:
"Third Grandfather, what should we do next?"
Now that Huang San Taiye has been arrested, it seems that Chen Xiao intends to continue.
Moreover, the direction he went was the ancestral home of the Huang family. Should we also join in the attack?
Otherwise, if Chen Xiao really manages to break in and alerts the elders of the Huang family, that would be a huge problem.
Hearing this, Grandpa Hu shook his head and said in a somewhat solemn voice:
"This time, if you are willing to listen to this old man, then don't interfere in the Huang family's affairs."
Even if the Huang family is truly wiped out, do not interfere.
Also, when you get back, if the old folks at home ask about it, you don't need to say too much. Just tell them it's the Purple Gold Gourd!
Upon hearing this, Liu Xian, Bai Xian, Hui Xian, and Qingfeng Beiwang, though somewhat confused, nodded to indicate that they understood.
Grandpa Hu: "Alright, everyone disperse!"
After saying this, Grandpa Hu was the first to leave. Seeing this, the others exchanged glances and then turned and left.
However, only Old Mrs. Bai looked at Guan Shihua and said in a low voice:
"Tiger Girl, since Third Master Hu has said so, it means one thing."
The Hu family is preparing to abandon the Huang family, one of the five great immortal families.
And we were able to achieve this back then thanks to the ancestor of the Hu family.
Therefore, they know far more than we do.
And now, since this Third Master Hu, the current head of the Hu family, has said so...
That's enough to show that Chen Xiao has a big problem.
Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to provoke this young man.
Among our five great immortal families, the Huang family is not indispensable.
In our land beyond the Great Wall, besides our five major immortal families, there are other smaller immortal families.
Even the Tiger Immortal lineage and the Wolf Immortal lineage are extremely powerful beings.
Moreover, Tiger Immortal might not necessarily be unable to replace the Huang family.
You should know that the reason why the Tiger Immortal lineage did not become one of our five great immortal families back then is...
Besides the problems caused by the imperial court back then, another reason is that the Tiger Immortal lineage has too few members.
However, now, it's not impossible to have Tiger Immortal take his place!
Upon hearing this, Guan Shihua's expression became extremely solemn, as if she were listening to something unbelievable.
"Old Bai, what exactly is the background of this Chen Xiao?"
Why is Master Hu so wary of him?
"I don't know either, but one thing is certain: it was after Chen Xiao's superpower that Grandpa Hu became like this."
Perhaps he realized the origin of this superpower, which is why he acted this way.
The purple-gold gourd—perhaps you could go back and investigate it.
I'm going back to tell the old man too!
As for the Huang family, don't interfere!
....................................
Guan Shihua and Gao Lian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Xiao Gao, let's go back!"
After saying that, Guan Shihua walked towards her home. Seeing this, Gao Lian looked in the direction where Chen Xiao had disappeared.
He gave a wry smile, shook his head helplessly, and said:
"It seems this matter has really blown up!"
After the two returned, Guan Shihua began to have people investigate the matter of the Purple Gold Gourd.
However, after Guan Shihua revealed this, the younger generation around her looked at her with strange expressions.
"Grandma, are you really going to investigate the Purple Gold Gourd?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Shihua looked at a young man who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old and wearing glasses.
"Hmm! You're lucky. What? You know about this? You know about the Purple Gold Gourd's special abilities?"
Deng Youfu looked somewhat puzzled, then scratched his head and said:
"Hmm...Grandma, actually, you could ask any junior member of the family to find out about this."
Most people actually know about the Purple Gold Gourd, but you don't watch TV, and you especially disdain mythological dramas, so you don't know about it.
Uncle Gao was probably too busy with work, so he didn't pay much attention.
However, what we know is the Purple Gold Gourd, not any special abilities associated with it.
So, I don't know if this is what you're looking for...
Upon hearing this, Guan Shihua also became interested and said:
"Hmm? Tell me! What do you know about the Purple Gold Gourd!"
At this moment, Deng Youcai ran out and hurriedly said:
"Let me tell you, let me tell you! I just finished watching this plot!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Shihua chuckled and said:
"Alright, then you tell me about the money!"
Deng Youcai said with a grin:
"Grandma, when talking about this Purple Gold Gourd, we have to mention Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, from Journey to the West."
Sun Wukong encountered a tribulation during his journey to the West.
This ordeal involves two powerful demons, who possess numerous magical treasures.
They are the Banana Leaf Fan, the Jade Purification Bottle, the Seven Star Sword, the Golden Rope, and the Purple Gold Gourd you mentioned.
Among them, Sun Wukong was seriously tricked by the magical weapons in the hands of these two monsters.
Finally, after using many methods to steal their treasures, they were able to capture the two monsters.
Just as Sun Wukong was about to deliver the final blow, he learned that the two were actually attendants of Laozi, the Supreme Lord of Heaven.
The treasures they possessed both came from Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao)!
Chapter 26 Chen Xiao's Slaughter, Huang Family Ancestor Appears!
"Click..."
Upon hearing Deng Youcai's words, a flash of insight struck Guan Shihua and Gao Lian, and they instantly understood.
Then, Guan Shihua said in a slightly trembling voice:
"You're saying that this purple-gold gourd is Laozi's treasure?"
Deng Youcai nodded emphatically and said:
"Of course, according to Journey to the West, this purple-gold gourd has an extraordinary origin."
It is a treasure from a primordial gourd vine that was born at the very beginning of creation.
Laozi happened to acquire this treasure during his travels.
After returning home, he used it to store the legendary elixir.
However, the most impressive thing is not that, but that this thing can do more than just hold pills.
It can even capture enemies. According to Journey to the West, this Purple Gold Gourd can capture people as long as their names are called out.
No matter what kind of god, demon, or immortal being it is, it will turn into pus and die completely in no time.
Back then, if Sun Wukong hadn't been so clever, he probably wouldn't have made it past that challenge!
However, upon hearing this, Guan Shihua and Gao Lian recalled the scene not long ago when Chen Xiao shouted and Huang San Taiye responded instinctively.
However, Gao Lian then spoke up:
"That's not right! If we're going to call out names, then Huang San Taiye's name isn't Huang San!"
Then, both of them looked at Deng Youcai, but Deng Youcai scratched his head and said:
"Grandma, I don't understand. What does Huang San have to do with the Purple Gold Gourd?"
Guan Shihua then spoke:
"Nonsense, I'm saying if we have to call out names, what if we get the names wrong?"
Deng Youcai………
At this moment, Deng Youfu understood, and immediately stepped forward and said:
"Grandma, I understand what you mean."
What you're talking about is actually the same thing. This Purple Gold Gourd, though called a name, doesn't necessarily have to be its real name.
Once he admits it himself, then it can be put away.
During the great battle between Sun Wukong and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, Sun Wukong also changed his name several times.
Whether it's Sun Wukong, Zhe Xing Sun, or Xing Zhe Sun, they will all be taken in.
Because Sun Wukong himself acknowledged this name, which means he agreed to it.
The same applies to the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King; both of them were attendants of Laozi.
The name couldn't possibly be a monster's name.
So, after Sun Wukong stole the Purple Gold Gourd, he took them in, but didn't call them by their real names.
They simply agreed and then the item was put away.
The name in question may not be the real name, but the person must agree to it.
It's like if I shout, and you agree, then this golden gourd will take effect!
Upon hearing this, Guan Shihua gasped in shock.
And Gao Lian began to speak:
"Although Journey to the West is a novel about gods and demons, according to records, it was written by Wu Cheng'en."
He is also a powerful individual with extraordinary abilities; perhaps he knows something.
Moreover, the Purple Gold Gourd might really be related to Laozi!
Upon hearing this, a look of shock and understanding flashed in Guan Shihua's eyes, and then she said:
"So that's how it is. I understand now. I finally understand why Grandpa Hu made this decision."
Regardless of whether this Chen Xiao has any connection with that Dao Ancestor.
However, the appearance of the purple-gold gourd's special ability indicates that there is a 50% chance that they are related.
Under these circumstances, even now, no one can ascend to immortality.
But who can be sure that this purple-gold gourd really has nothing to do with that person?
If that's the case, they might act recklessly.
If you lose, you might be held accountable; if you win, you might also be held accountable by that person.
No matter which option you choose, it will be a terrible one.
That's why Grandpa Hu simply let it go, regardless of the outcome; this matter is none of our business!
Thinking of this, Guan Shihua's expression became serious.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. As for Chen Xiao, regardless of his background or whether there is such a powerful figure behind him."
