Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1065 White Moon Brahma Star 30

Back then, Zangshan could not stand what his father, the leader of the Shi clan, did and left the clan in anger. After he suffered a little, he met Fan Yue, the victim. With the intention of atonement for the sins of his clan members, he kept following Fan Yue and working for him.

Now that his mother came in person to ask for help, Zangshan decided to go to where the Shi clan currently lived.

Zangshan's mother found a place for him to live in advance. Zangshan took Fan Yue and Bai Shuo out and prepared to go quietly to check the bodies of the dead people of the Shi clan. He happened to meet his former friend Shi Lei.

Shi Lei hadn't seen Zangshan for a long time and was just about to take Zangshan back to his home for a good chat. When he heard Zangshan say that he came for a tribe member who had recently died, Shi Lei volunteered to take the three of them to check the body of the tribe member.

Bai Shuo didn't know any medical skills, he could only tell that these people had suffered inhuman tortures before they died, but Fan Yue and Zang Shan saw it clearly, Zang Shan said to Shi Lei and Bai Shuo with a serious face: "These people were not killed in one blow, but the enemy first broke their bones one by one, and then inflicted many tortures, and tortured them to death alive, the means were so cruel that it was outrageous."

Bai Shuo asked directly: "Did the Shi Clan provoke any powerful enemy? Although I can't see that these people's bones are broken, the marks on their skin seem to show that they have been tortured. So if the Shi Clan didn't provoke any enemy, then it must be that the Shi Clan has some coveted secrets."

Without waiting for Zang Shan to speak, Shi Lei emphasized, "We, the Shi Clan, have lived in seclusion here and have never had any grudges with anyone. We live in harmony and have never had any disputes. I only know that such cruel means could not have come from the hands of our clan members."

Fan Yue reminded everyone not to jump to conclusions: "Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Before the truth comes to light, everyone is a suspect, and we should not let go of any suspect. Otherwise, if we let the culprit go, not only will the dead die in vain, but the living will continue to be in danger."

Shi Lei was somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Yue's suspicion of the Shi Clan, but he also understood that Fan Yue's attitude was truly practical, so he put away his dissatisfaction and asked Fan Yue, "Then where do you think we should start our investigation?"

Fan Yue said, "Why don't we go to the place where these Stone Clan members were killed? We can already see that there is a high possibility of revenge killing. Now we need to determine whether the other party has a grudge against individual Stone Clan members, or simply hates all Stone Clan members."

Zangshan had the same idea, so Shi Lei volunteered to take everyone to the place where these people were killed. In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Zangshan suggested splitting up into two groups. Shi Lei would take Fan Yue and Bai Shuo with him, while Zangshan would go to another place alone.

Since Zangshan was also a member of the Stone Clan after all, Fan Yue and Bai Shuo did not reject Zangshan's proposal. However, they did not expect that Zangshan would run into his mother not long after he walked out, and she was actually walking alone towards a desolate place.

Zangshan followed secretly and listened to his mother seeking shelter from an invisible and unknown being, but he didn't get any response from the other party. After his mother left, he went forward and checked carefully but found nothing. He decided not to go to the place where his tribesmen were killed, but went directly to find his mother.

As soon as Zang Shan saw his mother, he persuaded her directly: "Mother, those dead tribe members suffered a lot of torture in their lives. Everyone can see that the person who attacked them probably had some deep hatred with the Stone Tribe. Mother, those dead people may be related to the incident that year. It was the tribe leader who did something wrong. Now he has implicated the tribe members. How long will he hide?!"

Zang Shan actually attributed the death of the Stone Tribe members to his father. The tribe leader's wife couldn't help but slap her son in the face, scolding him: "You don't know anything and yet you make malicious assumptions about your father. Have you ever thought that he might have done it as a last resort?!"

Zangshan never expected that his always loving mother would get so angry and slap him in the face just because he guessed about his father.

The guilt he felt towards Fan Yue in his heart completely overwhelmed his rationality. He took a deep breath, not wanting to embarrass his own mother, and instead told her the truth he knew: "Back then, the Stone Clan slaughtered the Tiger Clan and seized the land of the former Bai Ze Clan. What's the difference between what they did and the Tiger Clan becoming running dogs of Lengquan Palace and committing so many murders?"

"And I know he actually used—"

"Shut up!" Zangshan's mother didn't allow Zangshan to continue speaking. Seeing Zangshan's face full of disapproval, she could only emphasize again that everything was beyond his control.

Zangshan's mother corrected the mistakes in Zangshan's words: "Back then, our Stone Clan was also in hiding because of the constant harassment from the Tiger Clan. We did not slaughter the Tiger Clan. We don't know who killed them."

Zang Shan still felt that his mother was sparing no effort to defend his biological father. He knew that he could not convince his mother, so he just snorted coldly and said, "Even if the Stone Clan did not massacre the Tiger Clan, then he killed that innocent tomb-guarding boy, seized other people's clan land, and dug up other people's bones to take as elixir. It can't be that I framed him!"

Knowing that the Shi clan had occupied the Bai Ze clan's land and dug up the bones of the Bai Ze clan to make elixirs for consumption, Zang Shan felt even more guilty towards Fan Yue. He was unable to explain the Shi clan's crimes to Fan Yue. He could only be loyal to Fan Yue and do his best to serve him, to slightly ease the heavy shame.

Zangshan's mother only wanted to save her husband and protect her children. She had no idea that Fan Yue was one of the only remaining members of the Bai Ze clan, so she followed the orders of Ye Yaojun, a minister of Lengquan Palace, and lured Fan Yue here.

Zang Shan's mother simply said to her child earnestly, "There are many times when parents always put their children's safety first. Your father is the clan leader, and everything he did back then was of course based on his position as clan leader and for the future of the clan. Even if you can't understand what he did, can't the relationship between you two as father and son make you understand him a little bit?"

Seeing that he couldn't convince his mother, Zang Shan just smiled bitterly: "Yes, parents always do wrong things under the banner of doing good for their children. I am your son, how can I face the victim..."

Zang Shan's mother could not sit idly by and watch her child become completely alienated from her husband and even from her tribe members, so she could only grit her teeth and point out the huge flaws of the Stone Clan: "Child, you only know that our true form is a giant stone, but you don't know that members of the Stone Clan who have cultivated into human form will suffer from a kind of osteomalacia when they reach a certain age. As the name suggests, members of the tribe who are as hard as a rock will one day have their spiritual bones become soft and even unable to stand."

"Later, your father finally found a way to heal the tribesmen. That was to make a magical medicine out of the bones of the ancient survivors and take it. This was the only way to reshape the tribesmen's spiritual bones and cure the cartilage disease."
