Volume 2 Sword Peak Shocking Chapter 1 Ancestor Worship

When the old man saw the white lotus's expression, he just smiled and did not urge. On the side, Bai Ling'er held the white lotus's arm and shook it affectionately. Bai Jingwen sat in the corner and watched all this, although he didn't speak, his face turned red.

White Lotus thought about it for a long time, and always felt that today's events came a little suddenly, so she temporarily dealt with the past on the grounds that she still needed to ask her father about this matter. The old man didn't care, Bai Ling'er looked a little disappointed, and the old man with a pouting mouth made the white lotus coax for a while, and then she was happy again.

The carriage traveled all the way west, and when it passed by the West Peak Station, it put down the White Lotus brothers and sisters and a few teenagers. Bai Linger also had to pay for renting horses for everyone, but was politely refused by several teenagers, Bai Linger jumped into the car, until the carriage went far away, and the girl could still be seen leaning out of the window and waving to everyone.

The Tianlong Dynasty is not as rich in horses as Shanjung, and the imperial court has worked hard to manage it over the years, and the number of horses has increased a lot, but in addition to the rich and noble families and chariot and horse dealers, ordinary people are still difficult to use. Therefore, in order to facilitate the travel of the people, the imperial court allowed the people to temporarily rent horses in the official posts on some remote and remote official roads.

After asking the price, Li Qing paid the silver taels, and several teenagers took two of them and walked to the mountain trail on the side. Although it is remote, the weather has just warmed up, and you can already see some green in the mountains, and from time to time there are some small flowers dotted with dots. Er Ya has not been happy for a long time, this place is empty, the little girl screamed happily, pulling the white lotus around crazy, a pink beast staggered behind, and from time to time would fall down, but even if she stood up and continued to chase Erya. Several teenagers watched from the sidelines with smiles on their faces.

After playing for a while, the teenagers continued to move forward, turning a mountain col, and several tall tombs could be seen on the slope of the sun in front of them, which must be the place where the ancestors of the White Lotus rested. The teenagers dismounted one after another, tied their horses to each other, and accompanied the White Lotus brothers and sisters forward.

There was still a stone's throw away from the place of worship, Li Qing stopped first, and everyone stopped laughing when they arrived here, they were walking slowly with all kinds of offerings, incense and candles, and suddenly saw Li Qing and White Lotus in front of them stop, and they couldn't help but stop.

White Lotus looked at the young man beside her, and subconsciously leaned her body towards the young man. After all kinds of things, White Lotus had almost unconditional trust in the young man, and when he saw the young man stop at this moment, he knew that something must have happened here.

Li Qing originally accompanied the white lotus forward, although the weather in early spring, although there was some warmth, but the mountains were still cold in spring, and the breeze around blew the artemisia grass on the grave into chaos, adding a desolation. As he walked, Li Qing saw a human-faced jackal patrolling in front of a grave, howling in a low voice, sounding very anxious.

Growing up in the mountains, Li Qingda was a jackal who ate carrion, and liked to build his nest in graves or where carrion gathered. There are a few tombs standing alone here, and there are people to worship every year, and there are traces of people, and there will be fewer wild beasts, and it is a place where yin qi gathers, which is very suitable for human-faced jackals to live in. But at this time, the human-faced jackal behaved a little strangely, obviously there was a nest in front of him, but he refused to enter, just walked back and forth anxiously, it was clear that there was something more vicious than it in the nest.

Li Qing was extremely sensitive to danger, so he motioned for everyone to stop, patted the white lotus's arm, and wanted to step forward alone to find out.

Regarding Li Qing's decision, the expressions of the teenagers did not change, and a mere human-faced jackal was nothing in the eyes of these teenagers. Li Qing stepped out, and Erya's exclamation sounded in his ears, and with the call, a pink light flashed and rushed towards the human-faced jackal.

When the human-faced jackal heard the sound, he turned around and saw the rushing light, and was startled, and subconsciously wanted to flee to the nest, but suddenly realized that the nest was no longer able to enter, and was about to turn around and change direction, but saw a pink beast standing in front of him.

Although the little beast was small, it was bigger than an ordinary cat, but at this time, looking at the nearly four-foot-tall human-faced jackal in front of him, he felt a little condescending. The human-faced jackal was a little funny in his heart, he was really a little too nervous, and it was the little guy in front of him who forced him to flee in embarrassment.

"Roar-" The Jackal decided to tease the little guy in front of him, and when he had had enough, he would bite it to death and throw it into the nest for a few days. While thinking about it, the saliva of the human-faced jackal almost dripped down. The little beast looked at the big man in front of him with some confusion, why was it dying, but it seemed to be very happy? Seeing the human jackal drooling and thinking about his own coming, the little beast was very satisfied, so that he could walk a few steps less.

Li Qing and Erya were afraid that the little beast would lose, and the huge Gengjin wings spread out, like two big eagles, thinking that the human-faced jackal pounced.

Seeing that the little beast still had a helping hand, the human-faced jackal didn't hesitate any longer, opened its bloody mouth and bit down hard at the little beast.

Next, everyone saw a shocking scene. Just when the big guy's heart was raised to his throat, I saw that the little beast took a step towards the human jackal in a hurry, this step out, the human face jackal's body suddenly became short, and several huge stalagmites broke out of the ground, and in a blink of an eye, the human face jackal was penetrated, and the blood meandered down the stalagmite like a waterfall, and it was still alive, and the eyes of the human-faced jackal calculating the little beast were getting darker and darker, and it seemed that it was not alive. The little beast paced closer, opened its mouth and inhaled, and the light rose from the blood of the jackal, swirled and fell into the mouth of the little beast. The little beast narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, didn't look at the human-faced jackal, turned around and ran back to Erya's side.

A few teenagers froze in place, this little beast looked very cute, and they didn't want to have such a ferocious side. Er Ya was even more at a loss, looking at the little beast at his feet, and was inexplicably a little frightened in his heart. The little beast looked at Erya, with some confusion and grievances in his eyes, and poked his head out and gently rubbed Erya's trouser legs.

Li Qing and the others stood aside, and they didn't know whether to persuade or not, but Huo Dameng stepped forward and gently picked up the little beast and looked at Erya, and said softly: "Girl, don't care, have you forgotten how fierce and reckless his parents are? If you abandon it today, maybe it will become a murderous skill. But if you continue to treat it as you did today, maybe it will become a saving ability. As he spoke, he gently handed the little beast up.

Er Ya looked at the little beast, this little thing's dark eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her heart couldn't help but soften, and she thought that the big snot was worthy of being the most read here, and what she said made sense, so she nodded vigorously at the moment, held the little beast in her arms, and gently put her face on it. The little beast stuck out its tongue and licked it, and gradually fell asleep with peace of mind.

Li Qing saw that the little beast and the second girl were quiet, and turned around and walked in the direction of the jackal that had just roamed. Looking at the performance of the jackal, there must be something wrong there, if the danger is not eliminated, how can the big guy worship with confidence?

Seeing Li Qing stepping forward, Mantou was a little relieved and followed.

The White Lotus was about to step forward, but was stopped by Huo Dameng, and the four of them quietly led the horses, but one of them was wrong, so they immediately got on the horse to meet the two.

As Li Qing and the figures of the steamed bun got closer and closer, the hearts of several teenagers slowly lifted, and the hands holding the reins tightened unconsciously.

"Uncle Bai?" White Lotus heard Li Qing's surprised cry and rushed over like an arrow. When a few teenagers rushed over, they saw Li Qing and Mantou pulling Bai Zhan up from the grave. Bai Zhan was covered with weeds and dust, and he couldn't wait to bury his head in his arms.

"Dad, didn't you go with a dart, why are you here?" White Lotus looked at the middle-aged man, knowing that something was wrong, and her tone was full of worry and anxiety.

"Heyβ€”" Bai Zhan sighed deeply and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just pushed the teenagers away. Where is the White Lotus willing to say, and she doesn't want to leave anything. Even Bai Jingwen, who is usually a little unreliable, also asked anxiously on the side.

Seeing that he couldn't help everyone, Bai Zhan had no choice but to tell the story. It turned out that a few days ago, Bai Zhan received a summons from the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau in Guiliu City, and there was a dart to be escorted to Shanrong Cangji City, this dart was not close, and it was necessary to cross three thousand miles in Daqing Mountain, which was very risky, but the reward was very high. Bai Zhan often cooperates with the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau, and when he saw that the White Lotus had just suffered a catastrophe, he wanted to earn more money so that his daughter could have a better life, so he took this errand. Unexpectedly, the group had just entered the mountain with the dart and camped in Luoyan Gorge. As a result, when they woke up the next day, the whole team of more than ten people, except for Bai Zhan, only two of the runners who went out to explore the road survived, and the rest disappeared along with the goods escorted.

As soon as the incident came out, the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau insisted that Bai Zhan colluded with thieves. Guiliucheng Qinghuwei hunted Bai Zhan everywhere, Bai Zhan couldn't argue, and there was nowhere to go, he had the intention to sneak back to Dingbian, and he was afraid of causing disasters to his children, thinking about it, only the ancestral tomb was safe, so he walked all the way day and night, and hid here.

White Lotus was a little indignant, thinking about what had happened this year? Her own catastrophe had just passed, and her father had been wronged inexplicably. The girl was angry, so she wanted to take her father to the county government to see Lord Jane for comment. Li Qing and the others next to him also agreed with themselves, hiding here is not a way after all, and for Jian Qiushan, everyone naturally trusts it.

Bai Zhan listened to several teenagers tell how Jian Qiushan was willing to risk the danger to save the White Lotus, and hope also rose in his heart, where would he be willing to stay in such a gloomy and weird place, and then rode back to Dingbian County with the teenagers.

At the time of the lantern, in the back hall of the county government, Jian Qiushan looked at the teenagers sitting around, his brows furrowed tightly. As early as yesterday, Jian Qiushan received a document from Fallen Leaf City, which was sent by Guiliu City, asking Dingbian to assist in the arrest of the suspect Bai Zhan. Jian Qiushan was hesitating how to tell the White Lotus about this, when he saw Bai Zhan who came with the teenagers in the county government.

Jian Qiushan did not govern Dingbian for a day or two, and he would not easily deny Bai Zhan's suspicion because of the words of the young people, nor would he think that Bai Zhan was guilty because of the official document from Guiliucheng. One of the things that makes Jian Qiushan embarrassed is that the location of the crime is a little far away from Dingbian, and the investigation is quite incorrect and incorrect. The second is that although Guiliucheng belongs to Qingshan County, it is actually controlled by Jianfeng, and the court and the sect have always been suspicious.

Jian Qiushan paced back and forth for a few steps, looking at the expectant eyes of the teenagers, and he had made up his mind in his heart.
