Mystery Leaks

Chapter 366 The Power of Thunder
"By the way, third uncle, the ancestor Meng Chenggang, who is the ancestor of the Meng family?" I asked after the third uncle put away the insect treasure.

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, and said: "It seems that you have investigated a lot of things."

I nodded, and then shared some information I had collected recently, including human-ghost contracts and evil spirits, as well as magic dragons, Tiantai Mountain, and so on.

The third uncle listened quietly, without too many expression fluctuations on his face. Obviously, he knew more about the glory of the Meng family ancestor than himself, and he was more prepared for the situation.

"I didn't expect these things to be mixed together." After I finished speaking, the third uncle said with emotion, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Lei, it's hard for you to find out so much information, third uncle Bai After living for so many years, I only know how to guard the thunderstorm circle, and many things are unclear, but now that you have said this, the matter becomes much clearer."

"It's just that I haven't been able to investigate the clues of grandpa." I sighed.

"Don't be discouraged." The third uncle encouraged me, and said, "You have become stronger now, and no one in the world can fight you head-on, no more than the skill of two hands. The third uncle believes that one day you will surpass your ancestor Meng Chenggang and become a great master." can."

After a pause, the third uncle realized that he hadn't answered his question suddenly, and added another sentence, saying: "My ancestor, Meng Chenggang, is my seventeenth generation ancestor, which is also your eighteenth generation ancestor."

"Eighteen generations of ancestors?" The corner of my mouth twitched, why does this number sound so awkward?

The end of the Ming Dynasty is almost 400 years from now, and there are eighteen generations of ancestors, with an average generation of 22 years. In this way, the Meng family is not only small in number, but also has a long line of descendants.

You know, the average age of marriage in ancient times was 15 years old, but 22 was a full seven years late. In ancient times, that was definitely an older age, which is equivalent to nearly forty years old now.

The third uncle also came to his senses, and said with a smile: "I heard from the old uncle about the ancestor Meng Chenggang. The ancestors of our Meng family were indeed glorious. They used to be the well-deserved first family of Fashixing. It is said that after the Manchus entered the customs, The emperor of the Qing Dynasty sent envoys to Jinpen Township seven times to ask the ancestors to come out of the mountains, but they were all rejected, not even allowed to enter the house.”

I was dumbfounded, I didn't expect such a past event, I was worried and thought about it, and I wasn't surprised. Compared with the emperor, the ghost emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the underworld have both been here, and the mere emperor's envoy is nothing at all.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the Manchu Dynasty was a foreign regime, and it was even more impossible for the ancestors to go there. This is probably the fundamental reason why the envoys did not even let in their homes.

Afterwards, my third uncle and I chatted for a few more words, then left the kitchen and returned to the living room.

We had a brief discussion, and Huang Mao and I stayed here, while Cao Nan and Hu went back and forth to the new house. Tonight it was time to watch the night and watch the night.

So Cao Nan and Hu Lai went back after having lunch, leaving me and Huang Mao behind. It was difficult to start work during the thunderstorm season, and the third uncle was always free. He also cooked lunch, and several dishes were tofu.

When it was getting dark in the afternoon, my aunt came back from her relatives. The third uncle told the story again. My aunt was not as shocked as I expected. Obviously, she knew something in advance. They have lived together for so many years, it is impossible not to know everything .

My aunt said to us: "Father, Xiaolei, I am a married woman with long hair but short knowledge, you just make a decision, Auntie listens to you."

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that my aunt would not be able to accept so much information for a while, and the result was much better than I expected.

After dinner, my aunt and uncle took Chongbao together.

After that is the boring guard time.

Huang Mao and I had nothing to do, so we took out Meng Shuisheng's Xiaobawang game console to pass the time, chatting with each other while playing, Huang Mao said: "Meng Chenggang is really your eighteenth generation ancestor?"

"Can this still be recognized indiscriminately?" I gave him a blank look.

Hu Lai said with a smile: "From now on, if others greet your [-]th generation ancestors, it will be a taboo, and you will be struck by lightning. Signing a contract with ghosts and humans to quell the turmoil will be a great achievement and cause and effect."

"If you dare to greet me, I'll tear your mouth apart." I said angrily, picking up which pot I didn't open.

"Don't dare." Hu Lai shrank his head suddenly, and said: "There are ancestor tablets enshrined here, so don't talk nonsense."

"You still know to be afraid." I was speechless.

Huang Mao immediately played the game seriously and stopped talking randomly.

After a pause, I put down the game controller and wondered if I could take another Zongbao?

It has been several months since I officially broke through to become a cultivator, and after the precipitation of the battle, my strength and realm have been stabilized.So he said: "You said how much strength can I increase by taking a Chongbao now?"

"It's hard to say, none of us have tried it, have we?" Huang Mao shook his head, then reacted, and said, "Are you going to take Chongbao?"

I nodded.

Huang Mao pondered for a while, and said: "You and Hu Lai have experienced fierce battles before, in my opinion, both of you can take the second insect treasure."

"Then after my third uncle has stabilized his strength, I will take one and see how much his strength can be enhanced. By the way, we will explore the way and let Hu Lai follow up depending on the situation." I made a quick decision.

Now that the time is ripe, there is no hesitation. Now is the thunderstorm season, and it is a time of peace for Jinpen Township, so we should seize the time to increase our strength.

……

The next guarding time was very quiet. On the third morning, my aunt woke up. Her system was weak, and a considerable part of Chong Bao nourished her body, but it did not help her break through.

The time is also relatively short, our time is more than two days, but my aunt only has one and a half days.

But Chongbao is Chongbao after all, the best tonic and natural elixir right now, after Auntie washes up, both Huangmao and I are brightened.

My aunt is at least 20 years younger. From a weather-beaten country girl in her 40s, she jumped back to 20 years old. Her skin is fair and moist, rosy, and her spirit and appearance have been greatly improved. Even The hair strands are crystal clear.

I knew before that Chongbao has a beauty effect, but looking at it now, the beauty effect of Chongbao is more prominent on women, and it is completely like a village woman turning into a daughter.

Seeing us looking at her, my aunt felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Xiao Lei, have I changed?"

Mirrors are taboo in the countryside, and mirrors are never installed in the bathroom. At this moment, my aunt still doesn't know the changes in her body.

I smiled and said, "Auntie, you will understand after looking in the mirror."

The aunt was also very curious. After entering the room, she heard an exclamation from inside, and said, "This...is this still me?"

Hu Lai touched me, the thief smiled and said: "If this thing is used to propose marriage, I am afraid no woman can refuse it?"

"That's not nonsense."

I replied and said, "You nod your fingers in the whole world, what can be more precious than Chongbao? Even if you can buy it with money, it must be diamonds of the same proportion."

What's more, it is impossible to buy diamonds with money now. Of those big families, which one is not amazing, and which one is not rich?

Money and gems are nothing.

Auntie's surprise aside.

I thought the third uncle would wake up on the fourth day, because Huang Mao, Cao Nan and others all had this time.As a result, the third uncle didn't wake up until it got dark on the fourth day, and my record was about to be tied by this time.

This shocked me a bit, for no other reason, it can only show that the third uncle's talent is very good, and it fits very well with the thunder attribute.The third uncle has dealt with the thunder attribute all year round, which stimulated his talent, and he is closest to the thunder element.

On the fifth day, a full three and a half days passed, and after half a day's time beyond me, Third Uncle finally woke up.

All of a sudden, thunder and lightning rushed all over his body, even his eyes were filled with thunder, and a very fierce aura erupted from his whole body, like a shocking light falling from the sky.

Huang Mao and I, as well as Cao Nan and Hu Lai who came over to check the situation, were shocked.

"This strength should be stronger than Zuo Mu." Hu Lai said.

I nodded, Zuo Mu is also proficient in the thunder attribute, but it is far less powerful than the third uncle.

But Huang Mao's assessment was more cautious, and said: "You will only know after verification. His situation is due to the release of the power of the thunder element, and he cannot be fully controlled."

Then, the third uncle's pupils slowly focused, and he came to his senses, and the thunder light on his body also slowly faded away, only a dark thunder light flashed in the depths of his eyes from time to time.

"Third Uncle, how do you feel?" I asked hurriedly after Third Uncle came out after washing.

"I feel that the world is much clearer. As for strength, I have to test it." The third uncle smiled and said that he broke through to become a cultivator very smoothly. Even though he is in his 40s, he still feels happy and excited.

I nodded, and we went to the back of the house.

The third uncle sank into his dantian, and slowly condensed the power of the thunder element in his palm, only to see the lightning flashing in his palm, more and more, more and more concentrated.

At the same time, a hair-raising aura emanated out, which shocked us back several times.

"This is the power of heavenly thunder, which is different from Zuo Mu's thunder elemental power. It can restrain all ghosts and evil spirits, and living things will also be suppressed." Huang Mao said hastily.

I nodded, the power of thunder represents thunder punishment, it is the roar of heaven, and all living beings in the world will tremble in awe in front of such power.

This is why our hairs stand on end.

Both Hu Lai and I have seen Zuo Mu's thunder-element element force, which also gathers electricity in the palm of his hand, but his is an electric glow, darker in color, with a little bit of dark red, like a string of electricity.The third uncle is Lei Mang, very sharp with water chestnuts, whitish in color with a little bit of gold.

Soon, the thunder in the palm of the third uncle became more and more intense. The third uncle gritted his teeth and persisted, and sweat appeared on his forehead after a while.

The next moment, a white thunderbolt with golden "bang" struck a big tree thirty paces away.The tree suddenly broke with a "click", sawdust flying, and even sparks.

"I rely on!"

"Brilliant!"

"Fuck me!"

"..."

All four of us widened our eyes, startled.

This is a tree as thick as a small washbasin, and it was actually split in one blow. This power is stronger than the first time I hit the Backfire Dragon Teng seriously.

Not only us, but even the third uncle was taken aback, and murmured, "This...is this from me?"

"Meng Lei, we have another aggressive person." Huang Mao turned his head and said to me.

I nodded, and the third uncle's performance really surprised and pleasantly surprised me.

This is his chance. He has been dealing with the power of the sky thunder for so many years, and the power of the sky thunder is the existence of the most rigid and yang, so the power of hitting it will naturally not be weak, which is determined by its attributes.

"This is a hundred times stronger than Zuo Mu?" Cao Nan said even more.

"This..." I recalled that Zuo Mu's Lei Yuanli did not form a long-distance attack ability. To put it bluntly, he couldn't hit it. He could only use his palms to produce damage on people.

Before Hu Lai was slapped by Zuo Mu, he was shocked and paralyzed. Compared with the power, it was indeed much worse.

But before I could speak, Hu Lai shook his head and said, "You can't underestimate Zuo Mu, he just didn't get the Thunder Element Insect Treasure suitable for his attributes, if he got it, I believe his performance will not be weaker than your third uncle, don't worry." I forgot, he is also familiar with the thunder magic circle."

My eyelids twitched suddenly, this seems to be true.

Zuo Mu is a guy who has both strength and execution ability, and a meticulous mind, but his luck is not very good, and he is always cut off by us. If he has a good luck one day, he will definitely be a strong opponent.

Huang Mao and Cao Nan were awakened by Hu Lai's words, and they both nodded.

Afterwards, we went to check the fallen tree, and found that the place where it was hit had a hole the size of a washbasin, and the depth was more than half of the tree circumference.
