Chapter XXXVIII

Seeing that Zhong Hou still didn't believe it, Feng Wuxian almost didn't jump up and scolded his mother.

He worked so hard that he almost lost his life, just for this treasure map, in Zhong Hou's eyes, it was like a prop in the hands of a liar, which made Feng Wuxian suddenly feel that the crows in the sky and the alpacas on the ground were whistling by at the same time, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long time, Feng Wuxian suppressed the urge to beat Zhong Hou and began to tell the origin of the treasure map one by one.

As for Zhong Hou, no matter what Feng Wuji said anyway, he couldn't believe that the thing in front of him was a treasure map, so it would be good to listen to the story.

Here's the thing ...

There is a remote and quiet village called Gaojia Village.

About a year or so ago, a treasure map suddenly appeared in Gaojia Village, which was said to contain the treasures of the real immortals.

At first, the villagers didn't believe it, and it became their after-dinner conversation, which caused the news to quickly reach the ears of many cultivators, so the cultivators who got the news went to check it one after another.

As the custodian of the treasure map, the village chief of Gaojia Village realized the preciousness of the treasure map when he received a report from the villagers that a large number of immortals had come to look for the treasure map.

The village chief is more aware that Gaojia Village will face a major crisis.

They were just ordinary people, and they couldn't do anything about the arrival of the immortals, so they could only make arrangements in advance just in case.

The village chief immediately tore the treasure map into eight parts, secretly gave it to the eight young people in the village, and told them to leave immediately to find a place to hide.

According to the village chief's instructions before parting, if Gaojia Village is safe, everyone can return at any time. But in the event of an irreversible disaster in Gaojia Village, they must work together to dig up the treasure and take on the mission of rebuilding Gaojia Village.

The news spread quickly, and more and more cultivators came to Gaojia Village.

In order to find the whereabouts of the treasure map, the cultivators can be said to be unscrupulous, and they are ruthless to the Gao family villagers, the ants in their eyes.

In the end, Gaojia Village suffered a catastrophe, and the villagers suffered heavy casualties, and few of them were able to escape in the end.

But the matter didn't end there, because the village chief was not a cultivator, and he didn't understand the terrifying methods of cultivators at all. As a result, seven of the young people who were carrying the treasure map fragments had already been found by the cultivators.

I want to know it with my toes.

The cultivators also learned from these seven young men that the treasure map had been divided into eight parts.

According to speculation, the complete treasure map should contain the detailed address of the treasure. The reason why the treasure map fragments are now blank is probably due to incompleteness.

Fortunately, the last person has been smart and alert since childhood, so he has not been discovered for the time being, and as for how long he can hide, it can only depend on the will of God.

Regardless, seven of the eight treasure map fragments have appeared. It's just that no one knows whose hands all the seven treasure map fragments ended up with.

Half a year ago, the Blood Killing Alliance, where Feng Wuxian was located, got the news that the Situ family in Anyang City had obtained one of the treasure map fragments, so they sent Feng Wuxian to grab it.

After Feng Wuxian got the order, it was very strange, what ability did a small Situ family have to obtain a treasure map fragment, even if he got it, it wouldn't last long, and it was not his turn to grab it at all.

Strange is strange, he didn't dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, so he could only go this way.

Although he had been very careful, he had fallen into the trap of others.

also fell into the trap, so the real mastermind behind Half Moon Mountain Villa was also discovered by Feng Wuxi.

Half Moon Mountain Villa found the Situ family as bait to spread the news that the Situ family had treasure map fragments, with the purpose of waiting for the rabbit and attracting cultivators who had other fragments.

It doesn't matter if it's an individual or a certain force, and whether the strategy is effective or not, it's an opportunity anyway.

Otherwise, the sea of people is vast, and the fragment winner really has to hide, even if the Half Moon Mountain Villa is the ruler of this territory, don't think about finding the other party in a short time.

Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good. Half Moon Villa used this poisonous trick to kill batch after batch of offenders, and at the same time, he also seized three treasure map fragments from other forces.

The main reason why the Situ family stood out among many weak families and became the pawns of Half Moon Mountain Villa was that Anyang City was the closest to Gaojia Village.

In this way, it is barely plausible that the Situ family got one of the treasure map fragments by walking shit. In addition, the Situ family was very weak in the eyes of cultivators, and there was no threat at all, which could greatly reduce the vigilance of those who came.

Half Moon Villa has a good hand and hides it behind it, which not only benefits it, but also does not expose it in front of people, and the major sects don't know that Half Moon Villa is the player with the most chips.

It's just that in this way, it's hard for the Situ family.

I believe that no one wants to use his home as a battlefield.

But the strength is not as good as others, and the Situ family has no choice but to bear all this silently.

That night, Feng Wuxian really encountered an ambush in the Half Moon Villa, but he was cautious on this trip, and he was a killer who was good at hiding and being good at physical skills, so although he was seriously injured, he finally escaped from Situ's house.

The seriously injured Feng Wuxian was accidentally rescued by Zhong Hou in the woods outside the city, but he didn't expect that it would change Zhong Hou's life.

And Half Moon Villa also lost several masters that night.

However, in the eyes of the Situ family themselves, their losses were the greatest, they killed a family master and more than a dozen elders, and the guards were killed and wounded.

And what made the Situ family have nowhere to complain was that not all of these people were killed by Feng Wuxian alone, most of them were killed by mistake by the masters of Half Moon Mountain Villa in the process of chasing Feng Wuji.

That's why there was a later Situ family guard selection competition.

Wind Without a Trace can be said to be the strongest opponent that Half Moon Mountain Villa has encountered in this plan.

The seriously injured Feng Wuxian finally recovered after months of recuperation.

In order to complete the task, and also to avenge the battle, Feng Wuxian chose to infiltrate Situ's house again. It's just that he didn't expect to be able to meet Zhong Hou again, and he also discovered Zhong Hou's amazing cultivation talent, but it's a pity that Zhong Hou's character can't meet his requirements for accepting apprentices.

With his first experience, Feng Wuxian had a very smooth operation this time, not only killing all the masters left behind in the Situ family in Half Moon Mountain Villa, but also accidentally harvesting a treasure map fragment that he hadn't had time to hand in.

Zhong Hou only knew at this time that the cultivator, who was also the immortal in everyone's mouth, was actually so bloody, and for the sake of a treasure map, he actually did something that was almost the anger of people and gods like Tu Village.

However, thinking of his father's death, he understood that the world of cultivators was a world where the weak and the strong were respected, and the weak could only be other people's fish and meat, waiting to be slaughtered at any time.

There is only life and death in this world, and there is no good or evil.

Looking at the treasure map fragment in his hand again, Zhong Hou saw not treasure, but blood. In the days to come, it is not known how many people will die because of it.

Thinking of this, Zhong Hou was relieved that Feng Wuxian sneaked into Situ's house to kill people.

Can this matter be blamed on the wind without a trace?

No, because he is just a member of the multitude, and he can't get rid of the shackles of desire.

In the world of cultivators, everyone is the same, they will do whatever it takes to become stronger, and they will do the same thing as everyone else.

You can't blame the cruelty of this world, the world is like this, no one can change it, you can only accept it.

To blame, maybe only the Half Moon Villa who designed this trap can only be blamed.

The water in the treasure map incident is too deep, and if you are not careful, you will end up with a dead end, not that Zhong Hou can participate in it, and he is not qualified to do so.
