Chapter 182: Xiao Family Ancestor, Possessed by a Demon, and Happy Marriage
Xiao Yuan from the Xiao family of Red Domain and Shang Xin from the Shang family of Red Domain said goodbye to the other two Jianghu travelers who were traveling with them as soon as they left the Endless Forest, one of the eighteen dangerous places.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. The two Jianghu travelers who were traveling with them were famous Jianghu masters in Red Domain. They had a lot of experience in surviving in the forest and avoiding wild beasts. They were willing to enter this dangerous place not for the loyalty of Jianghu, but for real benefits, such as gold and silver treasures. The two of them really played a big role on this journey.
So, when they left, Shang Xin untied a bag with a gold ingot inside, handed it to the two of them, said thank you, and then parted ways.
The two of them traveled together and rode back to the Xiao family. The journey was smooth. The Xiao family and the Shang family have been friends for generations. Xiao Yuan and Shang Xin have been playing together since childhood. If it weren't for the exhaustion of spiritual energy, the possibility of the two of them becoming Taoist partners in the future would not be low.
After arriving at the Xiao family, Xiao Yuan reported the good news. The Xiao family was overjoyed and checked the three Fuhua divine fruits separately. After confirming that they were intact, the hanging stone was finally put down.
Xiao Youcheng, the head of the Xiao family, patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder and promised to give her benefits. If she succeeded in the reform in the future, she would also be given special training.
Let's talk about the Xiao family today.
It is no longer the same as it used to be. There used to be thousands of families. Anyone with the surname "Xiao" who could have a connection with them would try their best to get a connection.
Now, let alone others, even the side branches of the family have long been dispersed, leaving only the core clan and people with strong blood ties.
The Xiao family is full of reforms and secretly competes. Many people went to the reform conference and returned recently. They learned that the ancestor had been possessed by the devil without any signs, and they were mostly uneasy.
The ancestor, the ancestor, is the core of the family. Even if the spiritual energy is exhausted, the status will not decline. The performance of the Xiao family members outside may be uneven, some good and some bad, but in the family, the ancestor is absolutely respected from the bottom of the heart. This is the most basic thing for a family. If the Xiao family can't even do this, how can it be famous and grow?
What's more, Xiao Qingfeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family, is kind and has a fairy-like temperament. Whether it is Xiao Yuan or Xiao Qilong who has fought with Li Changxiao, they have all been instructed by him. He is the existence of a father and ancestor.
Therefore, the children of the Xiao family, when they returned home and learned that the ancestor had been possessed by the devil, they fell into great anxiety for a while, and some shallow-eyed women even sobbed.
The atmosphere was depressed until the three Fuhua divine fruits were retrieved.
Xiao Yuan's prestige soared, and peers who had friction in the past also found her and punished themselves with three cups.
The Xiao family mansion was originally located in a secret place. Later, the secret place merged with reality and became the current "Fuhua City". There are mostly mortals, the city area is large, and there are many people who go to business and open shops. It is an extremely prosperous city. The Xiao family also hid the past and developed business in the city. In the eyes of local people, it is a family with a long history, nothing more.
Let's talk about Xiao Youcheng, the head of the Xiao family. After obtaining the Fuhua Divine Fruit, he went straight to the depths of the inner mansion. There was a mountain there. The mountain was blocked everywhere and no one entered or left.
Go to the mountain and walk into the cave.
An old man with disheveled hair was making unclear mumblings, which echoed in the narrow cave.
It was a sign of demonic possession, no, it was already demonic possession.
But he retained 40% of his sanity and tried his best to suppress it. The Xiao family Taoist robe on his body was dirty, his long white hair was messy and tangled, his face had many wrinkles, bloodshot eyes were covered with whites, and his eyes were ferocious, looking at the arriving Xiao Youcheng.

"Cheng'er, did you find the divine fruit?" said Xiao Qingfeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family.
Xiao Youcheng's eyes were wet. Seeing the old ancestor in the past, he was heartbroken. As the head of the family, he made all the decisions, big or small. He had a hard heart, but he cried silently, his eyes were red.
"Child, why are you so weak?" Xiao Qingfeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family, said: "Give it to me, I'll take it and it's fine."
Xiao Youcheng, the head of the Xiao family, handed over a Fuhua divine fruit.
His eyes were vague.
The first Fuhua divine fruit had the most obvious medicinal effect, and the second one was less than one-tenth of it. If the first one was not solved, the second one would be useless. Therefore, Xiao Yuan only asked for three, which was safe. The choice of all parties was very good.
She didn't know the nature of the white-clothed swordsman. If she took more, she might break the negotiation, and if she took less, she might not be enough, so she took three just right.
Fortunately.
Only one, and the effect was quickly seen.
I saw that the bloodshot eyes of the Xiao family ancestor Xiao Qingfeng gradually faded, the demonic aura subsided, and his temperament became ethereal again, but the wrinkles on his face were hard to get rid of, and his body was hunched over a lot.
The head of the family, Xiao Youcheng, was overjoyed, rushed over and hugged the ancestor, very excited. The ancestor of the Xiao family also smiled kindly and said, "You kid, how old are you, still so aggressive."
Xiao Youcheng didn't care about these, only the children of the Xiao family could understand the feelings of the Xiao family for the ancestor.
The ancestor of the Xiao family had just recovered from a serious illness, and the demonic aura had completely subsided. In order to double the joy and gather the family's power, the little bit of pot roots that might remain were also washed away. The head of the Xiao family held a banquet the next day.
It was a grand feast, and the ten thousand taels of gold were poured out like water, without any reluctance.
At the banquet, the ancestor of the Xiao family wore a white Taoist robe, with his long white hair fluttering in the wind. Everyone who saw him said he was a living immortal.
At the beginning of the banquet, the younger generation of the Xiao family came forward one by one to announce the good news. Most of them had red eyes, crying and laughing. The son of Xiao Youcheng, the head of the Xiao family, was a fat boy. He even hugged the old ancestor's thigh and cried breathlessly, saying that he went to Wanxian Peak and almost didn't see you when he came back, which scared him.
As he cried, Xiao Youcheng couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him, saying that he was such a good man who stood up to the sky, how could he give birth to a crybaby.
Just as he said this, his eyes also turned red. He tried his best to suppress it, but he also cried, wiping his nose and tears. Seeing the old ancestor of the Xiao family laughing, he praised him again and again, saying that they were all good sons of the Xiao family.
This banquet was just fine, but the crying gradually started, which was also strange. The Shang family was also there. The banquet lasted for a total of three days, firecrackers rang, and the joy was overwhelming.
The freeloader swordsman with a wine gourd hanging from his waist was lucky enough to mingle with the common people and eat several meals. He sat at the same table with the vendors in the market, seven-year-old children, and ate, drank, and chatted.
After the banquet, the swordsman was in a good mood. There was one less demon-possessed cultivator in the world, which was a good thing. However, he came to such a prosperous commercial city with great difficulty. He was reluctant to leave immediately and planned to stay for a few more days to find some work to save some money before leaving.
After the banquet, Xiao Qingfeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family, listened to the latest reforms and communicated with the family members.
