Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

The book continues above.

After taking a bath, Li Zihang and his group went back home.

Not long after returning home, Li Zihang was called to his room in the backyard by the Eleventh Patriarch.

He took out a black invitation card and handed it to him.

Printed on it are patterns of five sacred beasts guarding the four directions.

Azure Dragon on top, Black Tortoise on bottom, Vermillion Bird on the left, White Tiger on the right.

In the middle is a Qilin standing on auspicious clouds.

Li Zihang looked at the Eleventh Ancestor with doubts in his heart.

Use your eyes to ask what this means.

Eleventh Ancestor, put down the earthen jar in your hand.

Motioned to Li Zihang to find a place to sit.

Then he used bamboo tweezers to pick out a cricket from a small bamboo cage nearby and fed it to the poisonous insects he had cultivated in the jar.

While feeding the poisonous insects, he spoke.

"Boy, you know the truth that trouble comes from the mouth and disease comes from the mouth."

"Last time you blurted out a question at the Crescent Hotel, and now they've come to you and told you to shut up."

Li Zihang sat aside, watching his ancestor feed the poisonous insects, and recalled the questions he asked Master Gou Wu last time.

I have the answer in my mind.

I tentatively asked the ancestor which family sent him.

"Grandpa, whose card is this?"

The Eleventh Ancestor said after glancing at the card in Li Zihang's hand.

"You know the origin of our bloodline."

"Then I will tell you about other bloodlines in this world."

"In order to explore the way to immortality, the ancients tried every possible way for thousands of years, including all kinds of alchemists, strange people, feng shui masters, dignitaries, and even the emperor."

"Some people drink human blood for a long time, some make elixirs, some eat all kinds of natural treasures, and some capture all kinds of strange creatures and use their blood and flesh to make elixirs and make wine."

"It's good that he has some humanity, but he is using natural materials and treasures to make medicine and is using living people for experiments."

"Like Zhu Can, the king of Chu during the late Sui and early Tang dynasties. In order to study immortality, he ate human flesh. In the end, he ate himself and turned into a human demon."

"By the end of the meal, my eyes were blood red."

"People without conscience would buy babies from poor people who can't survive and use them as medicine."

"Put the living babies in a millstone and grind them into a paste."

"Then dry the bones and meat, and cook them into soup with the herbs."

"And we also raise the exotic animals we capture."

"From time to time, we bleed them and then inject the blood into human bodies for experiments."

"Those who were injected with the blood of alien beasts are basically dead."

"But there are exceptions to everything. God is merciful."

"There are always one or two people who survive due to various coincidences."

"For thousands of years, people in China have been used as experimental subjects for those who wanted to live forever."

"Some of them survived. Those who wanted to live forever died for various reasons."

"Some of the test subjects who survived were killed. Others were captured and used for further longevity experiments."

"The remaining people who survived all hid themselves and continued to reproduce."

"It's because I'm afraid that my bloodline will be known by those who want to live forever."

"Then they are captured and raised as animals for experiments."

"Those people just sealed off all the secrets and went into hiding."

"But immortality is too attractive. After being caught, some people, in order to survive, told what they knew about other people's immortal bloodlines."

"Follow the clues and you will find that one family is connected to another."

“So, those families with strange bloodlines suffered a devastating disaster.”

"Therefore, the various wonderful bloodlines in this world have suddenly decreased a lot."

"There are also some bloodlines whose inheritance has been cut off due to various reasons."

"In the end, only five families with unique bloodlines survived."

"These five bloodlines are the Zhang family's Qilin bloodline in Changbai Mountain."

"The White Tiger bloodline of our Jiangnan Li family."

"Guanshan Taibao, the Phoenix bloodline of the Feng family."

"Kunlun Mountain, the Qinglong bloodline of the Xuanyuan family."

"Shennongjia underground world, Xuanwu bloodline."

"So the five families finally came together. They swore an oath of blood to keep the secret of their bloodline."

"This is the origin of the blood oath. This card is from the Zhang family of Changbai Mountain. They sent it to you to shut up."

Li Zihang was deeply shocked when he heard this secret unknown to the world.

Then he asked about the origins of the bloodlines of several other families.

The Eleventh Patriarch put down the work at hand.

After sitting down and drinking some tea, he continued.

"In fact, these bloodlines are all similar to ours. They are more or less the same."

"You also read about the Yingkou dragon-falling incident in 1934 in my notes last time."

"Some creatures have indeed appeared before."

"It's just that for various reasons, they all became extinct."

"Or hiding, without being discovered."

"Humanity has explored too little of this world."

"Not to mention the various secret places on land. There are many places that humans have never explored. Not to mention the ocean."

"The Zhang family's Qilin bloodline was also formed by combining the blood of exotic beasts with various medicines and injecting them into the human body by chance."

"I have obtained answers about the Qilin creature from various ancient books, some rare copies, and cemeteries."

"This kind of creature once existed, but it was not as exaggerated as in myths and legends."

"They were just some strange creatures. But they all became extinct and disappeared."

"These creatures are all subject to birth, aging, illness and death. They all need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep."

"It's just that these creatures, because of their peculiar abilities and strange appearance, were considered auspicious or mythical animals by the ancients."

"Xuanyuan also ate dragon liver, which caused his body to mutate. That's how the Azure Dragon bloodline came about."

"The ancestor of the Feng family was an alchemist who searched for dragon veins and explored tombs for Zhu Yuanzhang. He once captured a mythical beast, the phoenix."

"Then we locked him up and bled him for research and alchemy."

"Later, he actually researched some things."

"So the Feng family had the bloodline of the Phoenix."

"Later, due to certain things, the Feng family was almost extinct."

"An outsider of the Feng family is quite powerful in the court. He captured an insider with Phoenix blood and used him as a test subject."

"And they created an organization and named it after him, called Wang Zanghai."

"This organization called Wang Zanghai is not a family."

"They recruit talented and like-minded people to join their organization and then change their surname to Wang."

"Finally, inject the semi-finished product of the research, the Phoenix bloodline, into the body."

"Bloodlines are things that are formed by chance and by filling them with a large number of lives."

"It's not that easy to succeed in research."

"The Wang family all have unfinished Phoenix bloodline. The sequelae have cost many people their lives."

"As for the Xuanwu bloodline~"

When the Eleventh Patriarch said this, memories of the past came to his mind.

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"The Xuanwu bloodline is quite unique."

"Those people have been eating a kind of turtle from the underground cave world of Shennongjia for many years."

"That kind of turtle is extinct outside. It only exists in Shennongjia and the underground world, and there are not many of them."

"And then they added the skills they developed themselves."

"It's like a tortoise hibernating, allowing the body to age very slowly.

In modern terms, it means reducing the body's metabolism.

They also have a disadvantage, which is that they will hibernate like turtles and frogs from time to time.

After eating and drinking, they hibernate in the cold springs of underground caves with their heads exposed. "

When Li Zihang heard this, he sighed in his heart.

Isn't this just a variety of gene mutations? It's the same as the genetic engineering that scientists have researched.

However, these people all sacrificed countless lives, and only survived by chance.

Then there were these miraculous bloodlines.

Li Zihang looked at the Eleventh Ancestor with a surprised look and said.

"Are there really creatures like the Phoenix, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise?"

At least Baihu could understand.

He really couldn't imagine these mythical creatures.

When the Eleventh Patriarch heard this, he fell into memories again.

It was a long time before he spoke.

"When the Yingkou dragon-falling incident happened, I rushed there as fast as I could."

"In the end, I was still a step too late. Even though I was a step too late, the people who saw it all described the dragon in the same way."

"Some of the brave ones even peeled off a few dragon scales and shared some dragon meat."

"Later, I bought the dragon scales from them at a high price."

"After Xiao Ri brought the dragon's body back"

"I also used a large amount of gold to bribe a little Japanese leader."

"I asked for some photos of the dragon corpse. I also got some dragon bones."

"There was also the Buyeo dragon-falling incident in 1944. I heard the news and rushed over. I killed 26 people to get a dragon horn. I am following the oral accounts of those who saw it."

"That dragon is about the same size as the Yingkou Falling Dragon."

"There are also some ancient books that record dragons, and they confirm that dragons exist."

"I once robbed an ancient king's tomb. There was a complete dragon skeleton inside."

"These evidences show everything."

"Dragons are real creatures that once existed in this world."

“But now they are all gone.”

"However, dragons are just strange creatures, not as exaggerated as described in myths."

"I can't explain things like dragons flying through the clouds and mist for now."

"Everything else, such as blowing out clouds and mist, being able to make them big or small, and making clouds and rain, is all nonsense. At most, it will bring a little rain when it falls from the sky."

Li Zihang's mouth was wide open in surprise.

Wipe off the drool.

Then ask.

"Eleventh Ancestor, where did you hide those dragon bones and dragon horns?"

The Eleventh Patriarch glanced at Li Zihang and said unhappily.

"I'll tell you these later. That way you won't be able to control your mouth and tell the secrets out someday."

Li Zihang asked curiously.

"Ancestor, you got those dragon bones and dragon horns. But you didn't find anything."

The Eleventh Ancestor looked at Li Zihang meaningfully and said.

"Research will definitely reveal something."

"But those things can't be seen in public. I hid them in our secret base."

Li Zihang heard these unknown secrets between heaven and earth at this time.

The huge waves in my heart are rolling in my heart, one after another.
