After the old man finished speaking, he lit a pipe and I asked, "Did the second magic armor come in handy later?"

"No." The old man smiled: "Maybe God is willing to do something. When the divine armor was forged, Huo Qubing had already led a large army to attack King Xiu Tu's tribe and also killed King Xiu Tu. As a result, these soldiers sent out to make armor became dogs of the wilful family and were soon captured by the Huo family army. The second divine armor fell into Huo Qubing's hands..."

Li Mazi said: "It's amazing. Both of the magic armors are Gui Huo Qubing, just like 'The dragon and phoenix chick can win the world'. Wouldn't it be difficult to lose in the future?"

"You are wrong." The old man said: "After Huo Qubing learned from the prisoners that the Divine Armor was forged by Gu Tu's flesh and blood, he used it to build a tomb for Gu Tu's family, and did not seal or tree to prevent it from being stolen."

I asked, "How did you get it later?"

"This is a long story. After Huo Qubing died, the descendants of the Huo family began to be cursed by a strange force. Most males lived to be thirty years old. Later, we separated, and the separation was also for the sake of life..." the old man explained.

I nodded: "These Taoist Masters of Yiqing have already told us."

The old man asked Taoist Master Yiqing: "Big nephew, have you also told this...Mr. Merchant?"

"Shadow Clan?" This is the first time I have heard this word.

The old man pointed at Gou Mingyi and Quan Mingyi: "Do you know why these two children have the same names?"

I immediately shook my head.

"Our purpose of splitting up is to let the two families interact with each other and live a life. The names on the genealogy of the two families are exactly the same. For example, if you have a Gou Lao San, our whole family has another All-in-law."

This is the first time I heard about this kind of thing, and I immediately became interested.

The old man continued, "We don't know where the curse came from, so we used this method to divide the Huo family's bloodline into two, and then moved to the north and south respectively. In this way, the curse will only find one of them, and at least the other one can be fully frugal!"

Taoist Master Yiqing sighed and said, "The ancestors of the Huo family have really made good efforts. No wonder the Gou family is at a loss now, but the whole family is so prosperous now." I heard him, there was a hint of unwillingness as a victim.

I thought to myself, the ancestors of the Huo family were really smart enough to think of this method, but is the Shadow Clan's method really effective?

I said, "The Shadow Clan is just a means to avoid disaster. I don't think it has played a real role. What has harmed the Gou family was the armor of the General of the Hundred Battles."

The old man smoked: "I don't know if it's useless. The ancestors set the rules, so we just do it. By the way, about armor, a certain generation of the family's ancestors were a traveling businessman. Once he got lost in the desert and had a strange dream, dreaming of the White Wolf Princess. He found the tomb according to the guidance of the dream, dug back the white wolf armor, and then he has been enshrined in the ancestral hall of the whole family."

The old man pounded the ashes on the burning brazier and said, "What are you doing here?"

We looked at each other and I said, "Old man, you have also seen it. Gou Mingyi is now entangled by this evil object. It is very likely that his life will be lost. We want to use the white wolf armor to save Gou Mingyi's life!"

The old man laughed: "Borrow it? How to borrow it?"

I said I wanted to use the white wolf armor to restrain the General Armor of the Hundred Wars and take it off when the General Armor of the Hundred Wars was weakened. This is my idea, but I am sure that I have practiced the method of killing ghosts by myself before.

The old man snorted coldly: "No! The white wolf armor is a treasure of my whole family. It contains the blood of the white wolf princess. Have you ever seen someone lending the corpses of his ancestors to outsiders? What's more, you have unknown origins, so who do I want to go if you cheated it away?"

"Old man, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, let alone your two families are still relatives." I said.

Taoist Master Yiqing also asked: "Uncle Quan, Gou, Quan's two surnames are originally a family, with blood thicker than water. If the ancestors of the Huo family had spirits in the sky, they would definitely not want to see this incense fire be cut off."

The old man sneered: "When the family split, one clan was destined to die. This is inevitable. If you are unlucky in the Gou family, you can't blame us for such a thing. Our whole family has no obligation to help you."

Li Mazi couldn't stand it anymore: "You old man are really stubborn and selfish. Those of us who have no relationship can still help us when we see injustice, but you, your own family, will never save you. Damn, this is the comparison of human nature."

The old man snorted coldly: "Don't you tell me what kind of businessman you are? Draw your sword to help you, I think you have other plans."

Yin Xinyue explained: "Old man, we are really here to help Mingyi. If you don't believe us, you can send someone to supervise it."

"No need, as the patriarch, I want to maintain the prosperity of the entire family. Now the whole family is living well, why should I get this muddy water?"

The old man came to refute the other one, and he had the style of talking about the verbal battles with scholars. I felt so angry that I wanted to tell this stubborn old man that he was irrational, so just use some means!

At this time, the window was blown open by the wind, and a strong wind poured into the room, blowing the charcoal brazier lightly and darkly, and everyone was blown away. When we opened our eyes again, we found that the door was wide open, and Gou Mingyi was walking out.

"Oops!" I shouted: "Stop him."

Quan Mingyi stood up first, rushed over and grabbed Gou Mingyi's shoulder: "Little brother, what are you doing?"

Gou Mingyi waved his arm without saying a word, and actually knocked Quan Mingyi away and fell heavily on the steps of the house. His father quickly went over and helped him up.

We hurried outside the house and saw Gou Mingyi speed up and running into the forest. Without thinking too much, we immediately chased after him.

At this time, someone came from afar and shouted, "Class leader, patriarch, it's not good. The door of the ancestral hall has been opened, and the divine armor worshipped inside has disappeared."

The old man shouted in anger: "It must be those outsiders who did it, stop them!"

We ignored it at all. We were about to run out of the village. I thought to myself, can you catch up with us? Unexpectedly, the radio in the village suddenly rang, and the voice of Quan Mingyi's father came from inside.

"Stop those outsiders, they stole the treasures from the ancestral hall."

Only then did I remember that Quan Mingyi’s father was the village party secretary and abused his power.

The village party secretary yelled, and the doors of every household were immediately opened. A group of young men were raiding the guys to come and beat us up. Yin Xinyue was so scared that she covered her ears. Li Mazi grabbed me and said, "Brother Zhang, think of a solution."

What can I do? I have no way to deal with living people. The man in T-shirt took out a few ghost bags quietly and planned to put a few evil ghosts to deal with the villagers.

I told him not to use this trick for now, and said to Taoist Master Yiqing: "Old Taoist, come and get it done!"

"Since they are unkind, I am not righteous!" Taoist Master Yiqing gritted his teeth, recited a spell, and cast a ecstasy.

The villagers who rushed towards us suddenly changed direction and ran towards a big locust tree in the middle of the village. They swung their hoes and picks at the big locust tree and started to beat them, chiseling the bark into pieces.

I was still scared when I saw this scene. It turned out that they were going to take action. No one knew that they were killed in this remote countryside.
