Liang Family Secret Room
"Father." Outside the study room, Liang Feng was still half-bent.
There was no sound, no reply. Just as Liang Feng was feeling strange, the door to the study opened. An old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties walked out of the study. "Let's go. Follow me to see the ancestor.”
This old man was Liang Feng's father, the person in charge of the Liang family. Thirty years had allowed this young man, who had stood out in the Warrior Operation, to experience many vicissitudes. Now, he was already a shrewd and experienced clan leader that everyone in the Liang family trusted. Thirty years was neither long nor short. Although in the eyes of others, being the head of the Livingstones was glorious, the bitterness and pressure were difficult for others to understand.
"I know you want to ask me why I suddenly changed my mind to disturb the ancestor for that kid. Today, we are just like father and son in an ordinary family. You can ask whatever you want. There's no need to be formal.”As expected, Hu Zi was above his father. Liang Feng's shrewdness was completely inherited from his father. However, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. Liang Feng's thoughts were revealed in front of the Liang Family Head no matter how deep they were.
"Father, I really want to ask you why you suddenly changed your mind, but I also want to ask you, didn't you say that only the family head is qualified to see the ancestor? Why did I…" When Liang Feng heard that his father wanted him to go with him to see the ancestor, he thought that he had heard wrongly. After all, there was a rule in the family rules that only those with the family head token had the right to see the ancestor who was in seclusion. Of course, the place where the old ancestor went into seclusion was in the mysterious cave that had always existed in the Liang family.
"Originally, I was indeed very unwilling to disturb the ancestor because of that kid. However, last night, I suddenly felt that the care I have for you over the years has become less and less. I also hope that Feng 'er won't blame Father.”Father Liang sighed and frowned, as if he had something to say.
"How could that be? Father had no choice since he was in a high position. You're usually busy with work, so it's reasonable for you to care less about us. Since we were born as members of the Liang family, we should be prepared for such a situation at any time.”Father Liang was a mature man. He had not married until now because he wanted to have a convincing performance in the Liang family.
" I'm really glad to see that you're so sensible, Feng 'er. It's just that everything is unpredictable. I thought that you would definitely win this brave action, but I never expected..." Before Father Liang could finish his sentence, he began to sigh. It seemed that he was really mentally and physically exhausted, and he felt very guilty towards Father Liang.
"Dad, are you okay? It doesn't matter. If I can't be the next family head, I will also assist the next family head to continue developing the Liang family's business.”Father Liang was a smart person. How could he not understand what his father meant? Although he comforted his father, he was still quite disappointed when he heard that he might lose the chance to be the family head. Father Liang had been waiting for this day for 20 years. When he was young, he was so envious of his brother participating in the competition. Now that he finally had the chance to participate, his father told him such depressing news. How could Father Liang not be disappointed?
"I know that Feng 'er, you've always wanted to marry a wife and concubine for the future of the Liang Family, but I never expected that your Aunty Mei would actually take the route map of the cave when I wasn't paying attention. I think you should understand what I mean. Bringing you here to see the ancestor was also a decision that I made after considering for an entire night. If you want to win, you must come out before Chong-er. I can tell that the kid that Xiangxiang likes is definitely a good helper for you. That's why I brought you there despite the scolding of the ancestor.”Father Liang had put in a lot of effort, but he did not expect that because of his negligence, he almost pushed the Liang family into eternal damnation.
"Father, I will not change my confidence in the Warrior Operation because of this matter. Huai Chong had his plans, but I had years of training that I never gave up. Believe me, Father, I will succeed.”At this moment, Liang Feng and his father stood together like father and son. Father Liang was going to step down after this year's Warrior Competition. If no one could successfully walk out of the cave during the Warrior Operation, then the next family head would definitely be Liang Feng. However, there was now a variable, Liang Huaichong. Everything could only be seen after the Warrior Operation ended.
"En, as expected of the good Feng 'er that I've taken a fancy to. I remember when your big brother was still around, I was envious of your big brother for being able to participate in the Warrior Operation Competition. At that time, I understood that you, my son Liang Feng, would also be a warrior in the future.”Father Liang was a little emotional, tears welling up in his eyes. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed this kind of father-son relationship. It was just that things that were not so rare in the eyes of ordinary people were so precious in the eyes of this old man who had dominated the Liang family for more than 30 years.
"Father, I won't let you down.”Liang Feng looked at his father with a firm gaze. Just as Yang Shuai Yu thought, Liang Feng was definitely not an ordinary person.
……
Finally, they arrived at the back garden, the fake mountain that had once witnessed Yang Shuaiyu and Liang Yuxiang hugging.
Father Liang carefully inserted the family head token into a groove and then turned a stone handle with force. The two huge rocks on the fake mountain slowly separated to the two sides.
"Let's go in." Father Liang seemed to have not recovered from his excitement just now, but he also understood that business was important and he could not waste too much time.
After Liang Feng entered the cave, Father Liang took out the family head token from the groove and the stone door slowly closed.
Inside the cave was a slightly inclined tunnel. It was very straight and Liang Feng could not see the end of it. The ground of the tunnel was covered with coarse sand, which should be used to prevent slipping. The stone walls of the tunnel were very smooth and should be quite old. Liang Feng had never been here before, so he was very interested in everything in the cave. He had always known that the Liang Family had a secret closed-door cultivation place, but he had never known where it was. Every time Father Liang entered the back garden, he would order the servants at the door not to let anyone enter the back garden.
After walking for seven to eight minutes, Liang Feng and his father finally reached the end. A stone door blocked their way. Father Liang took out the family head token again and embedded it into a groove that was exactly the same as the one on the rockery. Then, he pressed a button on the stone door. The huge stone door slowly rose, and a flight of stairs leading down and a very spacious space appeared in front of Liang Feng.
Liang Feng and his father walked down the stairs. The spacious stone room was filled with boxes of all sizes. Liang Feng guessed that these should be the Liang family's wealth for many years. However, they did not stop in the stone room and continued to move forward. The two of them didn't speak along the way. The empty stone room echoed with their footsteps.
Liang Feng was very nervous. He had never been here before and was not prepared to see everything here. He knew that the Liang family was wealthy, but he never thought that the Liang family had such a mysterious place.
At the end of the stone room was another side room. Liang Feng followed his father in. The room was filled with a strong fragrance. It was the place where the tablets of the deceased family heads and important figures in the family were worshipped. The ear room wasn't very big, only the size of Liang Feng's study. In front of it were a few rows of memorial tablets, and in the middle was a painting. The person in the painting should be the Liang family's ancestor. The old man in the painting was dressed in a Taoist robe and was very thin. He should be an expert, Liang Feng thought.
"Feng 'er, kneel down." Father Liang pointed at the mat in front of the memorial tablet and said softly to Liang Feng.
"Yes, Father." Liang Feng knew that his father must have his reasons for doing so. Moreover, in front of so many ancestral tablets, he already had the intention to kneel. It was not respect for their ancestors, but a kind of oppression that forced them to kneel.
Father Liang also knelt down. However, he held the family head token in his hand and quickly chanted words that Father Liang could not understand. Father Liang didn't understand this, but he understood what he meant. Whether the ancestor was willing to see them or not required them to pray sincerely. He had not been able to see the old ancestor since he came in. He felt strange in his heart. After all, the purpose of his trip was to ask the old ancestor to save Yang Shuai Yu.
After kneeling for about 15 minutes, Father Liang was still mumbling and had no intention of stopping. Liang Feng felt a little sore in his legs. However, at this moment, he realized that the incense in front of the memorial tablet was burning even more vigorously. Liang Feng stole a glance at his father and then at the memorial tablet. He suddenly felt that everything was so strange. At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew over from somewhere, causing Liang Feng to shiver. However, after the gust of wind passed, his father stopped mumbling.
"We can go in now. The ancestor has already agreed for us to meet him. Feng 'er, remember, don't say anything wrong in front of the ancestor. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you.”Mr. Liang spoke in a mysterious manner. It was not as friendly as before he came in, but a threatening warning.
Even though Liang Feng found it strange, he still nodded. He understood that his father was doing this for his own good. He had also heard of the legend in the village. Back then, a small family had mysteriously disappeared because its patriarch had contradicted this mysterious ancestor at a meeting.
On the side of the ear chamber, a stone door that was more than twice as wide as before slowly opened. Liang Feng looked at the other side of the stone door. What was waiting for him there was an eye-opener.
