Chapter 1440: A Twist of Fate at the Hidden Dragon Villa
ess foreign websites and checked some news from South Africa. Although there weren't any major news stories and domestic media reported on them rarely, an information piece on Weibo caught his attenti..."What"
Shen Cunmao was greatly surprised.
Although he had immediately judged that to keep the Shen family out of this top-secret intelligence matter, Shen Yun had to disappear temporarily, so as to trigger a furious reaction from China after the leak, and they couldn't find any evidence linking the Shen family, his face still changed drastically when he heard his father say so.
As the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Cunmao naturally knew what kind of place the Number Seven House in Canglong Mountain Villa was.
Even though he wasn't qualified to go in.
It is also known that only the father can go in alone on the third day of the third lunar month every year.
But twelve years ago, Shen Cungeng, the third brother, fell into a grave error that was forbidden by the family. He fell in love with a Han Chinese woman and had an illegitimate child named Shen Yun'ai. His father banished him to Dragon Ridge Villa, Room 7. This event haunts Shen Mo every time he thinks about it, filling him with fear.
No matter how strong the Shen family's genes are passed down, it's impossible for every generation to have a man who is supreme.
They possessed it because of an ancient and mysterious family legend.
This legend is only circulated within the Shen family and is unknown to outsiders.
Legend has it that, as early as thousands of years ago, Mount Zhilong was the private territory of the Shen family.
Similarly, the underground city beneath Zhu Long Mountain Villa has existed for a long time.
It's just that every time I go down, it's not as convenient as it is now.
It is said that a certain ancestor of the Shen family fled from war-torn mainland China to Hancheng during a time of great upheaval, and established their home there.
By sheer chance, a certain ancestor of the Shen family discovered an underground city. Driven by curiosity, he ventured down to investigate.
In the deepest abyss of the dungeon, there is a black hole with a diameter of about three to four meters.
Black holes are straight up and down, no one knows how deep they are, what's underneath.
Because inside the cave entrance, there was a pervasive white mist that wouldn't dissipate.
There should be water down there.
When the sound of running water faintly came from within the white mist, even Shen's ancestors seemed to have auditory hallucinations.
Inside the black hole, there seems to be some kind of eerie, mysterious sound coming from within.
Like the braying of a donkey, yet also like the roar of a dragon.
As for what it was, the Shen family ancestors naturally had no idea.
He was very afraid.
After poking around, I wanted to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt incredibly tired. He yawned and started to cry, then fell asleep on the ground beside the black hole.
In his slumber, the first ancestor of the Shen family felt something crawling on him vaguely.
That thing was all slimy and slippery.
Like a snake, also like peeled flesh.
Although it was in a daze, the Shen family's ancestors were also afraid, only wanting to wake up, or letting out a terrifying scream.
But he couldn't do anything.
He could only quietly allow that thing to roam over him.
Finally, he could clearly feel his brother enveloped by something very warm and smooth.
Then, in a joy he had never known, he witnessed a miraculous sight.
Blue sky.
White clouds.
A gentle breeze, like the touch of a lover's hand, swept across the boundless prairie, revealing herds upon herds of cattle and sheep.
Beside a crystal clear stream, a beautiful woman in an phoenix robe dances. She looks like a fairy who has flown down from the clouds of nine heavens.
Around the fairy, there were countless people kneeling and worshipping her.
Six people were closest to her.
One of the six individuals was an ancestor of the Shen family.
As the music ended, fairy Dai Feng vanished, leaving behind a crowd of people feeling deeply disappointed.
and six black iron plates on the ground—
After an unknown amount of time, the Shen family's ancestor woke up from his slumber.
The black hole is still there.
The white mist inside the cave still lingered.
The sound of flowing water, a phantom sound, is all there.
But the thing that crawled on his ancestor’s sleeping body was gone.
...but left a black iron plate at the edge of the hole.
In the faint glow of a nearly extinguished torch, the iron plate emitted a cold, eerie gleam.
The origins of the Shen family's ancestors are unknown. Whether the iron plate was there before he fell into a coma or appeared after he woke up is uncertain.
But no matter what, he didn't dare to touch that thing.
Only in panic did he climb up, holding the torch and fleeing hastily to the ground.
Outside, the sun blazed fiercely in the sky.
What a strange and wonderful dream.
The moment Shen's first ancestor escaped to the surface, he felt as if he were in another world, even more so than when he was asleep.
This strange feeling, was tempting him to return.
>
He was his father's only son, in the prime of his youth, and had not yet married or had children for the Shen family—who could guarantee that he would be able to return alive if he went on like this
The Shen family's ancestors returned home with great perseverance.
As refugees from the mainland, the Shen family were undoubtedly newcomers. Being bullied by locals was completely normal.
But in order to survive, the Shen family's ancestors had to make an effort to integrate into the local community.
The best way to integrate into the local community is to find a local wife.
As long as they could marry and have children locally, the Shen family would gradually transform into locals within thirty years at most.
The Shen family's ancestors were very clear about this.
The Shen ancestors, who were even poorer than the local indigenous people and suffered abuse from them, who would a daughter from any family like him
If things were truly good, then their family wouldn't have to live in such a desolate mountain.
What the Shen family ancestors never dreamed of happened when he went near a black hole, his life and the fate of the Shen family underwent a drastic change.
He chanced upon the princess while selling wild game in town.
The princess fell inexplicably in love with him at first sight, and she would not marry anyone else.
At that time, the king was just a princess.
She was treated like a precious jewel, carefully held and cherished – afraid to drop her or let her fade away. Under her desperate pleas for survival, they had only one option: agree to her marriage to the ancestor of the Shen family.
After that, the Shen family, who had once been bullied as newcomers, instantly became nobles.
As Shen's ancestors discovered after marriage, his thing was growing, and growing, and growing.
Like, animalistic.
Later, the Shen family's ancestors seemed to understand something.
This change of his, should be related to that time he went to the edge of a black hole.
And most importantly, his powerful and mighty demeanor made the princess utterly infatuated with him.
To put it simply, I'm head over heels for him.
Thus, she gave birth to two sons for the Shen family ancestors. At the age of twenty-eight, she died.
Died from pleasure.
Some things, though good, are not meant to be enjoyed by one person alone.
After the princess' death, Shen's ancestor once again went to the black hole.
As for what Shen's ancestors encountered when they returned to the underground city, there are some things that are not mentioned in legends.
Unless the homeowner themselves tells you, there's no way to know.
After the princess's death, the heartbroken king, under the earnest pleas of the Shen family's ancestors, reluctantly agreed to have her remains buried in what the Shen family considered their most sacred place.
The day the princess faded away, was precisely on the third day of the third lunar month in mainland China.
To express gratitude to the princess for her great kindness to the Shen family, every subsequent head of the Shen family must, on the third day of the third lunar month, go to the underground city under Mount Canglong, to the side of the black hole in Room 7, to pay their respects to her.
After the direct descendants of the Shen family passed away, they would be dressed in the most magnificent and solemn clothes and thrown into the black hole.
The ancestor who changed the fate of the Shen family said before his death that there was a dragon hidden inside the black hole—that's why that mountain is called Canglong Mountain.
The small courtyard on Mount Canglong is called Canglong Villa.
The fate of Shen's ancestors could be changed because he had a union with a dragon when he fainted near the black hole that year.
Otherwise, the men of the Shen family's ancestors would not change their roots, nor would they become the supreme men.
The dragon beneath Mount Zhelong bestowed upon the Shen family an immeasurable kindness and grace.
Whether it's in the heavens or underground, there is no eternal giving without expectation of any return.
The dragon, who owed a great debt to the Shen family's ancestors, naturally needed some return.
That is, every twelve years, the Shen family has to offer a living person as tribute to the dragon.
This person can be a man or a woman, but must be a direct descendant of the Shen family.
For centuries, it has always been this way.
Has never changed.
No one among the descendants of the Shen family dared to try and rebel - after all, the Shen family had a large number of descendants, and every twelve years, one would be sent to a sacrificial ceremony. Who knew who it would be
Unless you make a mistake, the chance of being sent to worship the Divine Dragon will be greatly reduced.
The root of not making mistakes, of course, is to avoid angering the master.
Therefore, the head of the Shen family held an authority within the household that no other member dared to defy.
He is a man of few words, but every word he says is like gold.
However, there are always those who dare to challenge the authority of the Shen family head.
Twelve years ago, it was Shen Cungeng, the third brother of Shen Cunmao, who disregarded the Korean chaebol heiress chosen by his father and abandoned her, along with his eight-year-old daughter, to pursue a genuine love with a Chinese girl.
Men of the Shen family, due to their lofty status as men supreme, allowed their wives to have many other men—no, women—outside because they feared their wives, like princesses, couldn't handle it.
But the premise is, no favoritism.
Whoever shows diligence, that person will owe a debt to the princess's ancestors.
Thus, on the eve of the third day of the third lunar month that year, Shen Cun Gen, who was attempting to elope with a certain woman, became a sacrificial offering to the Divine Dragon. He was sent to cell number seven in the underground chamber of Canglong Mountain Villa.
Twelve years had passed—the third day of the third lunar month had long since gone by, and there was no need for the descendants of the Shen family to pay respects to the Divine Dragon anymore. Yet, Shen Yun was sent there.
Will she die, or will she survive
Shen Cunmao didn't know.
I wouldn't dare to ask that question.
Only in his heart was there worry: "If the Cloud is dead, then will the Dragon God's demands for offerings increase to every twelve years, requiring two people"
There is no doubt that Shen Cunmao also likes Shen Yun very much.
She is the only female member of the Shen family in nearly a hundred years.
Therefore, Shen Cunmo felt that even if Yun did something foolish to defy her father for love, she shouldn't be sent to Room Number Seven.
Fearing that pampering the divine dragon would lead to even greater demands, Shen Cunmo, thinking of his descendants, had to ignore Shen Yun's tragic fate.
After seeing what her eldest son was thinking, Shen Mingqing calmly asked, "Do you know what day it will be in three days"
Shen Cun shook his head in confusion. "I don't know."
In three days, it will be the day my Hancheng Shen family ancestor first went to Room Number 7.
Shen Mingqing's voice lowered: "A thousand years ago, the Shen family's ancestors accidentally went to the underground city that day, and their destiny changed ever since. So, can anyone deny that Yunzai, whom we love but have to temporarily disappear and be sent to Room 7, will bring better fortune to the Shen family again"
Shen Cunmao's eyes lit up: "Father, you mean that three days later, if Yun Yi is still alive, she will forgive her offense against you After the wind dies down, she will return to our side"
"She's our favorite little princess, how could I bear to let her die."
Shen Mingqing sighed and said in a low voice, "Alas. If I weren't afraid of the people of Huaxia, worried that Yun would be found by them, and thus drag the Shen family into a vortex they couldn't bear, how could I have been willing to send her to Room No. 7"
"A person of Han Chinese descent, definitely wouldn't be able to find her."
"I firmly believe she'll have good fortune," Shen Cun chuckled.
