Archean Eon Art

Mirror Lake Meng House, study.

After practicing the knife for a whole day, although the spirit is excited, but the body is exhausted and tired, and must rest. Meng Chuan also came to the study and started one thing he must do every day - painting.

The paperweight is pressed against the paper, and there is also a beautiful color palette on the side, and the various pigments in it are also of the highest quality.

Meng Chuan is drawing carefully.

Since childhood, Meng Chuan has liked to draw.

Maybe the mother was good at drawing and taught her son how to draw. This was one of his favorite things when he was young. A three- or four-year-old child painted for three or four hours in a row, even forgot to eat. He was not tired at all. very. My mother once said, "My son is extremely talented, and he will definitely become the first-class painter in the world. A painting is worth thousands of dollars."

Born in the Meng family, and loved by his parents, he was carefree.

But at the age of six...

In that catastrophe, more than 100,000 people died, and my mother also died.

He escaped back to Dongning Mansion under the desperate protection of his parents. From then on, he practiced hard, but he still painted for an hour every day. When he was painting, he would forget the fatigue of his practice. Instructing myself to paint, my mind is very peaceful.

fifteen years old.

I have been painting for more than ten years, and I have also worshipped several painters. I have long been better than blue. Mother is right, his talent is indeed outstanding, at least higher than his talent for practicing swordsmanship.

What's the use?

No matter how powerful an artist is, can he kill monsters?

"Dong dong dong." There was a slightly eager knock on the door outside the study.

"Um?"

Meng Chuan looked out in confusion, "When I'm painting, no one usually bothers me. What's going on?"

Putting down the paintbrush and opening the door, his father Meng Dajiang was standing outside the door. He usually smiled, but today his face was a little solemn.

"Chuan'er, quickly follow me to the ancestral house." Meng Dajiang said.

"it is good."

Meng Chuan didn't hesitate, and immediately followed his father out, "Father, why do you often go to your ancestral house in recent days?"

"Nothing." Meng Dajiang didn't say much.

"Then I'm going to the ancestral house now, what's the matter?" Meng Chuan asked again, he only goes to the ancestral house three or five times a year as a junior.

Meng Dajiang glanced at his son, but still said, "It's your engagement with Yun Qingping. The Yun family and the Meng family discussed and decided to terminate the engagement."

"Dissolve the engagement?" Meng Chuan was surprised, "Dad, why did you break up the engagement suddenly?"

"Are you reluctant?" Meng Dajiang looked at his son.

"No." Meng Chuan shook his head again and again, "Yun Qingping and I have only seen each other once in a few months, and we can't get along with each other. It's a good thing for me to break the engagement."

Meng Chuan, who is only fifteen years old this year, still doesn't know what love is.

To Yun Qingping, she felt like a familiar and somewhat capricious little sister, that's all.

"You can think about it this way. In this case, both the Yun family and my Meng family have agreed to dissolve the engagement." Meng Dajiang said, "When you arrive at the ancestral house, you can just listen and talk less."

"Yes." Meng Chuan nodded and replied.

...

The Meng family's ancestral residence, located in the western part of Dongning City, occupies a huge area, with more than 2,000 clansmen living in it, and it takes a mile to walk along the central axis from south to north.

Of course, the foundation of the Meng family was in the countryside. Because of the threat of the demon clan, the villagers formed a dock to protect themselves. There are thousands of people in each dock, and it is not uncommon for the same clan to gather in a dock. After thousands of years of reproduction, the Meng family has three large docks, which add up to more than 10,000 people. In Dongning Mansion, there are many such big families.

The special thing about the Meng family is that there are gods and demons.

Naturally, he immediately became one of the top five gods and demon families in Dongning House.

"Elder."

"Elder."

The ancestral house was in good order. Some patrolling clansmen saw Meng Dajiang and his son,

They also respectfully saluted Meng Dajiang and called 'Elder'.

Meng Dajiang, who ranks in the top three in the Meng family's strength, is still young, and there is still a glimmer of hope to become a god. He is the next patriarch appointed by the family.

"Um?"

Meng Chuan followed his father and entered the hall to welcome guests.

There were a lot of people sitting on both sides of the hall, the Meng family on one side and the Yun family on the other, but the atmosphere was obviously not right. Meng Chuan could see at a glance that most of his elders didn't look good.

"Brother Dajiang is here." Yun Fuan got up and said with a smile, "Bring the marriage certificate too."

"Bring it." Meng Dajiang nodded slightly.

Yun Fuan smiled and said, "The other elders have no objection to the dissolution of the marriage contract. Brother Dajiang, should there be no objection?"

Meng Dajiang stood there and said with a smile: "If the two families are interested, it is a good thing to get married. If there is no intention, it is better to terminate the engagement early. This is the marriage certificate."

As he spoke, he took out a wedding book from his arms and handed it to Yun Fu'an with both hands.

After Yun Fuan took it, he took a closer look, looked at the handwriting of the name on it, and nodded slightly, it was indeed the original marriage letter. The handwriting of the two ancestors cannot be imitated.

"Yun Fu'an, please tear up the marriage certificate here." A bald, thin old man from the Meng family said.

"Haha, I'm worried that I will take it back and take it out at a critical time in the future to force Meng Chuan to marry my daughter?" Yun Fuan smiled, "Don't worry, I can't do such shameless things!"

Saying "Tear it up-" Yun Fu'an directly tore off the marriage certificate in his hand.

"I have torn up the marriage certificate, and everyone can see it clearly. Don't worry now." Yun Fuan smiled and glanced at the elders of the Meng family present, "Then I won't stay any more."

As he spoke, he went out, followed by the other Yun family members behind him.

When walking to Meng Chuan's side, Yun Fuan stopped and smiled at Meng Chuan: "Mengxian nephew, you can remember clearly, from now on, you and my daughter Qingping will have nothing to do with each other. "

"Yes, no more." Meng Chuan replied.

Yun Fu'an then nodded and led the crowd away.

Meng Dajiang watched Yun Fu'an leave, frowned slightly, and calmly commanded: "Chuan'er, the marriage contract is terminated, you should go back first. Dad still has something to do here."

"Yes." Meng Chuan glanced at the elders and left obediently.

Boom~~~

The door of the hall was closed, and the hall was still bright under the light of a thick candle.

"Too deceiving, deceiving too much!" The bald, thin old man's angry crutch slammed on the ground with a harsh sound.

"On the surface, it is said to discuss with us, but in fact we have no choice at all. Is it shameful to want to marry?" A dark-skinned old man said with a sneer, "Dare to go to the Yun family to make trouble, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Yun family will be slapped to death! "

"It's also a good thing to break the marriage contract. We really use the marriage contract to force the Yun family to make the two juniors get married. Is it useful? It will only make the Yun family hold grudges. The purpose of marriage is to help each other. As far as the Meng family is concerned, this engagement is only a trivial matter, and the injury of the third sister is a major event that shakes the foundation of my Meng family!" An elegant old man looked at the fat old man at the top, "Patriarch, the injury of the third sister is really incurable. ?"

The fat old man frowned and said, "In these two days, the third sister will return to Dongning. Let's talk about it later."

Meng Dajiang listened, frowning.

The pillar of the Meng family is crumbling, and all the elders of the Meng family are also worried.

The Meng family also kept the news secret, only the elders knew. After all, if it spreads, tens of thousands of people in the family will be panicked, and there will be a lot of incidents.

now……

Most of the other senior leaders of the four gods and demons also knew the news, but there was no rumor, and they were afraid that there would be a blind junior to anger the Meng family. After all, 'Meng Xiangu' isn't dead yet! Even if Xiangu Meng really died, she still had some good friends. But as long as they don't go too far, those gods and demons won't interfere.

After all, without the gods and demons, the Meng family would not be able to take on many important responsibilities. If you can't carry heavy responsibilities, you will naturally not be able to enjoy many powers.

Responsibility and power are equal.

In today's world, from the mundane to the gods and demons, no one can escape responsibility.

As long as mortals reach the level of washing the marrow, regardless of gender, they must go to the military for five years at the age of 20! Only half of them can come back alive. But people still want to reach the state of washing the marrow, because if they are too weak, they will not even have the value of military service. According to the rules of the imperial court, many occupations without military service are not allowed. I can only hang around at the bottom and live the most pitiful life.

And gods and demons are the backbone of human beings. Every god and demon has been fighting and guarding all his life. Even if he returns to his hometown to rest, he must guard his hometown and city.

In this way, the gods and demons are dazzling and noble, and his family can also be brilliant and prosperous. And when the gods and demons died, they couldn't take on important responsibilities, so the family naturally had to step down from the important position.

******

When Meng Chuan returned home, it was almost dark.

"Achuan, sit down and eat together. I heard that you and Uncle Meng went to the ancestral house, and I thought you weren't coming back for dinner today." Liu Qiyue was sitting there drinking porridge and eating noodles, and Meng Chuan was also sitting opposite. Next, a maid brought up a bowl of porridge, and Meng Chuan was a little distracted while drinking the porridge.

"Why didn't you say a word when you came back, what happened?" Liu Qiyue asked.

"Oh."

Meng Chuan woke up and said casually, "The Yun family and my Meng family have discussed and decided to cancel my engagement with Yun Qingping."

"Dissolve the engagement?" Liu Qiyue's eyes lit up.

"Well, just now, the marriage certificate was torn up on the spot." Meng Chuan nodded.

Liu Qiyue watched Meng Chuan carefully and asked, "Why, are you sad to break up the engagement? Even drinking porridge in a daze?"

"No." Meng Chuan shook his head again and again, "I don't get along with Yun Qingping, you don't know. She is happy that the engagement is terminated. I am also relaxed. It's good for her and me, it's a good thing, How can I be sad."

"Then why are you in a daze?" Liu Qiyue asked.

"I don't think it's right." Meng Chuan frowned and said, "The marriage contract was made by the two ancestors in person. Even if they come to the door to cancel the marriage contract, the Yun family must at least send their 'Yun family three males' together. This is for my Meng family. The most basic respect. But this time it's only the fifth, and the most useless Yun Fuan came alone. It's a little bit look down on my Meng family, this is the first doubt."

"Secondly, in the hall at that time, the patriarch and the elders looked ugly. But they held back from the beginning to the end. When did the patriarch and the others become so good-tempered?"

"Three times, Yun Fu'an is usually very courteous in front of my father and the others, and his attitude is low. Today, he is a lot more presumptuous. Where does he get the confidence?"

"The key point is that there is always a reason behind the dissolution of a marriage contract. What is the reason for the dissolution of the marriage contract between the two ancestors?"

Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue, "I guess it's either the Yun family has a big backer! Or it's my Meng family."

Liu Qiyue was a little surprised: "Achuan, I didn't see it, can you think so much?"

"It's just a wild guess. Since Dad didn't tell me, he naturally has his reasons." Meng Chuan smiled.

"The person who was dissolved can still laugh, hurry up and eat your cake." Liu Qiyue urged with a smile.

"Eat the cake and eat the cake." Meng Chuan immediately took the dough and ate it.
