Chapter 267 The True Secret of Xiling Snow Mountain
Tianfu Airport!
When Lin Ye's plane arrived, several people were already waiting at the airport.
To be honest, Lin Ye didn't expect that there would be so many people picking him up at the airport.
When he came to Tianfu this time, he did tell the Intestine Ghost, and it was obviously the Intestine Ghost who leaked the news of his coming.
"Advisor Lin, I'm Qu Hao, the team leader of Tianfu Appraisal Institute. We're all very excited to hear that you're coming to Tianfu. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Advisor Wang from our Appraisal Institute, and this is Advisor Yu from Beijing..."
Lin Ye greeted these strange people one by one, but when Qu Hao introduced the last middle-aged man, Lin Ye's expression changed slightly.
Xiao Zhenqing, the patriarch of this generation of the Southwestern Xiao family.
Before coming, Lin Ye had already learned about the Xiao family from the appraisal institute's information database. He was also very curious about this family of cultivators that had been glorious for a thousand years. Most importantly after reading the introduction to the Xiao family's deeds, he had a greater respect for the Xiao family.
The Xiao family, a noble family with a history of thousands of years, has frightened ghosts and monsters throughout the southwest, but what is rare is that the Xiao family did not regard the southwest as their own back garden.
Although the Xiao family is now very wealthy in the southwest, that wealth was accumulated by the Xiao family from generation to generation, not occupied by force.
But the data did not record why Xiao Zhenqing of the Xiao family's generation did not become an extraordinary person, and he even drew one? In the document, Lin Ye knew that the appraisal institute was also curious about this matter.
"Mr. Lin, I really want to thank you."
Xiao Zhenqing held Lin Ye's hand with great gratitude. If it weren't for Mr. Lin's housekeeper, I'm afraid their Xiao family would have really suffered a disaster this time.
"Mr. Xiao, you are too polite. Not to mention the contributions the Xiao family has made to the people of the southwest, I cannot ignore the fact that Xiao Keke and Xiu Yan are classmates."
"Anyway, I still want to thank Mr. Lin. I will host a welcoming party for Mr. Lin later."
Hearing what Xiao Zhenqing said, Qu Hao looked a little aggrieved. Consultant Lin was the consultant of the appraisal institute, and he had been thinking about coming as the host to welcome Consultant Lin. However, seeing that Consultant Wang and the others had not raised any objections, he, as the team leader of the appraisal institute, could only acquiesce.
There was no way around it. In terms of status in the circle of strange people in the southwest, the Xiao family was far superior to their appraisal institute.
At noon, they had lunch at a restaurant in Tianfu. Originally, Xiao Zhenqing was thinking about asking his daughter and Mr. Lin’s student to come together, but Lin Ye waved his hand to refuse.
"No, I won't disturb the kids."
As soon as Lin Ye said this at the table, everyone present was a little surprised. Wasn't Consultant Lin here to see his students?
As early as after learning that Lin Ye was on the plane to Tianfu, the people present had been thinking about the reason why Consultant Lin came to Tianfu. Everyone speculated that Consultant Lin must care about his student very much, and he came to Tianfu specifically to see if his student had suffered any harm.
But now that Consultant Lin has come, he said he doesn't want to see his student, so they can't figure out the purpose of Consultant Lin's coming to Tianfu.
"I'm going to take a trip to Xiling Snow Mountain."
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Lin Ye did not hide anything and directly told them the purpose of his visit.
"Advisor Lin, no!"
The first person to object was Wang Yaogao. As a consultant of the Tianfu Appraisal Institute, he knew the most about the Xiling Snow Mountain. In fact, all the information about the Xiling Snow Mountain demon tribe was provided to the headquarters by Tianfu.
"Because of the Xiao family, the Xiling demon tribe has never left the snow mountain again, but similarly, no one dares to enter the Xiling Snow Mountain. Even the Xiao family last entered the snow mountain a hundred years ago."
"Mr. Lin, Xiling Snow Mountain is indeed not accessible."
The person who spoke right after Wang Yaogao was Xiao Zhenqing.
His words immediately made everyone look at him with doubt in their eyes. Xiao Zhenqing also knew what everyone was wondering about, and said with a wry smile: "Since Coco was born and encountered a hundred demons at night, I have returned to the ancestral home many times, and it is not completely without results. I found a note left by an ancestor of my Xiao family."
"Brother Xiao, you didn't tell me this."
There was a hint of resentment in Qu Hao's tone. The reason was very simple. After the appraisal institute learned about the matter, they protected Xiao Zhenqing's family. Even when Xiao Zhenqing wanted to know some things about their family, he reported to the headquarters and directly gave Xiao Zhenqing the Xiao family's archival information.
Old Yu became close to the Xiao family after Coco was born. Before that, Old Yu had only received a favor from Xiao Zhenqing's grandfather, but he didn't know much about the Xiao family. What he told Xiao Zhenqing were all the widely known and ordinary information circulating in the circle of strange people in the southwest.
"In fact, the reason why I didn't tell the appraisal institute is because the notes of my ancestor only contain some private matters of our Xiao family. This ancestor was rather casual and emotional, and these are all his personal matters."
Xiao Zhenqing knew that Qu Hao had some misunderstanding about him, so he started to explain a few words. After hearing what Xiao Zhenqing said, everyone present understood.
Being casual and sentimental, that makes him a playboy.
It is estimated that this notebook records the love history of this ancestor of the Xiao family. It is understandable that Xiao Zhenqing did not tell the appraisal institute.
After all, no one would be willing to tell outsiders about the emotional experiences of their ancestors.
"In addition to some of his stories recorded by our ancestors, this notebook also mentions the Xiling Monster Clan, and also records a secret of the Xiling Monster Clan in the notebook."
Xiao Zhenqing didn't understand why everyone was asking, so he continued, "In the eyes of outsiders, our Xiao family ancestors went into the snow mountain to intimidate the Xiling monsters because the Xiling monsters came down the mountain to harm the people. In fact, it was true at the beginning, but this was mainly in the first few hundred years. Later, our Xiao family ancestors did find something wrong."
"In fact, our Xiao family's entry into the Xiling Snow Mountain was entirely a conspiracy of the Xiling Demon Clan."
Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone except Mr. Lin, Xiao Zhenqing knew what a heavy blow it would be to everyone if this secret were to be made known.
In fact, the reason why our ancestors noticed this but did not tell other aliens in the southwest was because they were afraid of causing confusion among the aliens in the entire southwest.
"According to what my Xiao family's ancestors wrote, the demon tribe in the Xiling Snow Mountain deliberately sent demon tribe members down the mountain and lured my Xiao family's ancestors into the snow mountain. The purpose was actually to let my Xiao family members kill some of the rising demon tribe members..."
At this point, Xiao Zhenqing took a deep breath and said word by word, "According to the speculation of several generations of my ancestors, there is an extremely powerful old monster lurking in the Xiling Snow Mountain. He deliberately lured my Xiao family in to kill these new monsters for him. But even though we know it is a conspiracy, our Xiao family has to do it, because our ancestors understand that if we don't do it, I'm afraid the old monster of Xiling will come out of the mountain, and then the people in the southwest will be completely in trouble."
Lin Ye's pupils shrank when he heard what Xiao Zhenqing said, and everyone else had a look of shock on their faces.
"This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that according to our ancestors' speculation, there is more than one old monster like this in Xiling Snow Mountain."
