Chapter 7: No Trace
In the forbidden land of the Xiangjia village, Xiang Zhijun stood at the entrance of the cave and wandered for a long time. He'd been through so much in his life, but he had never felt so helpless. In the distance, the waterfall flowed down, and the splash in the pool rumbled, echoing forever and repeatedly, as if his heart could not be calmed!
After wandering for a long time, he still left, he did not admit defeat, returned to his residence and turned out a few ancient books of Huangdi to consult all night. But he couldn't help but shake his head, put down the ancient books, and stood in the ancestral hall for a while, looking at the one-foot highland stone tablet on the altar in the side inheritance room, and suddenly his face was slightly happy. In his heart, he silently muttered "Xiansheng Palace...... There is a fairy land created by a saint, it must be possible, Yun'er has hope!"
Xiang Zhijun finally made a decision, in order to save his grandson, he was ready to make arrangements for the clan early tomorrow morning, and decided to personally take his grandson to the Xiansheng Palace.
The next day, the distant horizon gradually turned a touch of fish belly white, and suddenly an exclamation broke the silence of the early morning. This voice came from the side of the room where Xiang Yun was locked. When the villagers heard the noise, they rushed to the front of the house, only to see two guards lying in the doorway, unconscious, but there were no wounds on their bodies. Some of the clansmen immediately went forward to check and found that they had only fallen into a coma, and when they stepped into the house, they saw four iron chains hanging quietly. And Xiang Yun is gone.
"Where is Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun is gone!"
The clansmen panicked and immediately looked around for Xiang Yun's traces. This is no joke, no one wants to bear the disaster of that year again, let alone bear it!
I don't know why this time, how could Xiang Yun be demonized for no reason, and now he is missing. Could it be that the calamity is coming again? The people of the tribe were all worried and frightened, and silently begged God for their blessing.
Xiang Zhiyun looked at the quietly hanging subway chain and was completely stunned, where did the child go? The guards fell into a coma? Could it be that someone took the child away, so what did the other party want to do? Or ...... Yun'er escaped by herself, which was really unimaginable.
Xiang Zhijun shouted angrily at the clansmen at the moment, "What are you doing in a daze, looking for it, you must find that child...... you!"
"Patriarch, this ......?" An old man in the clan suddenly wanted to speak and stopped, but when he saw Xiang Zhiyun's brows frowning and his expression was displeased, he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
At the moment, some people are worried, but some people are secretly happy. Worried that Xiang Yun's life and death are unknown, and he is missing. I also secretly rejoiced that Xiang Yun was missing, at least if he left here, they would be safe, and without Xiang Yun, there would be no disaster. Of course, because of Xiang Yun's identity, if he has any thoughts, he can only hide them in his heart at the moment.
Xiang Tianhai immediately took several young men from the clan, and immediately left the village and searched everywhere. However, they have been searching for several days, and they have searched every inch of land near this village, but there is no trace of Xiang Yun.
Xiang Zhiyun has also been to the forbidden place many times to check, but Xiang Yun has disappeared as if he had evaporated...... He tried all kinds of spiritual senses, but he couldn't sense a trace of Xiang Yun's breath.
Xiang Tiande was also panicked for a while, why did this child disappear? There was not even a trace of it, so he couldn't find it, and at the same time, he was also guessing that maybe it was a master, and he saw this child pitifully taken away just to save him. Thank goodness that is, I hope that is the case.
Something so big happened, Liu Zhuang knew a thing or two. Liu Fengming took the people of Liuzhuang and searched for it together, but it was still fruitless.
The clansmen of Xiangjia Village fell silent, and Xiang Zhiyun said to Liu Fengming with some regret for a long time, "Fengming, thank you for all the time you have been running around for our Yun'er business in recent days, the old man is really grateful!"
"Where is this, Patriarch Xiang, you are serious, our two families are in-laws, it should be! It's just Yun'er, this kid ......" Liu Fengming shook his head regretfully.
"Alas......" Xiang Zhi sighed. "The current thing is too sudden, and I am afraid that the marriage can only be done in the old man's opinion!"
Liu Fengming immediately said, "Patriarch Xiang, this change is really not your wish and mine! It's just that this child can't be seen out of thin air, and it seems that the marriage will be delayed." Let's talk about it when we find the child!"
Liu Fengming couldn't let the Xiang family feel that he Liuzhuang was treacherous and ignored at this time. Xiang Yun is a descendant, how he demonized, the future will be discussed.
In a small room in Liuzhuang, Liu Fangxiu's eyebrows were tightly locked. Looking at the pile of festive bridal dresses on the table, tears were in my eyes for a while. She didn't know what was wrong with her?
This marriage is a bit contradictory for her, with a rejection mentality, but sometimes there are some thoughts of expectation. But no matter what kind of thoughts she had, she felt even more overwhelmed when this kind of change happened.
"Fang'er, I haven't passed the door yet. Besides, Patriarch Xiang also mentioned the temporary dissolution of your marriage contract, so don't worry about being sad!"
A middle-aged woman touched Liu Fang's shoulder in distress and said softly.
"Mother, Fang'er is not worried that she won't be able to get married, why is this, how can this good person become a monster......?
Liu Fang's face was full of sadness, and she didn't know how to say it at this time. I can't tell the feeling, but there is a trace of worry for Xiang Yun. Hope he's safe.
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Yun had disappeared for three days! No one knew who had taken him away, and the people of Xiangjia Village did not know whether to be happy or sad? Perhaps Xiang Yun was gone, and the disaster would not be there, and some people were deeply concerned that Xiang Yun would be able to return safely. Of course, there are even more people who hope that Xiang Yun will disappear forever and will not bring disaster to the clansmen......
At this time, Xiang Tiande walked to his father Xiang Zhiyun's room worriedly, and the days of running around to find him made him look haggard and exhausted. The most important thing is that the pain and suffering in his heart made him almost out of breath. How could he not be worried, wondering what was going on with him now. I feel sorry, the only son. Although he was a little stubborn, it was the flesh of his heart! He was now like this, and his whereabouts were unknown, which really made him unable to sleep for days.
Thinking that he pushed open the door, he saw Xiang Zhiyun walking back and forth in the room alone, looking haggard and uneasy. At the moment, I am also worried and distressed.
"Father, what do you say now? It's been a few days, and there hasn't been any news!" Xiang Tiande immediately spoke.
"......! Are you in a hurry here? You go to check with me immediately if there is any suspicious person. I just know how to look for it, use my brains!Get out of here!" Xiang Zhijun suddenly widened his eyes and shouted angrily.
"Father's ......"
"Get out!"
Xiang Tiande lowered his head and had to open the door and go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a fire outside the gate, and he hurriedly walked out.
He saw the people of the village standing in front of his house in groups with torches. At the front was none other than Elder Xiang, the eldest elder of the clan. Elder Xiang was in retreat and cultivation before, and for the Great Elder, who was already eighty years old, he would not come forward until something major happened in the clan.
Xiang Zhiyun saw many clansmen standing at the door, and his heart was secretly shocked, just the appearance of the Great Elder here, this matter was not simple, and then he didn't wait for everyone to move, and walked to the door.
"Patriarch, the old man is in retreat, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the clan. Xiang Lao said with a flat face.
"Brother, you must have heard about this clan, but I don't want to alarm your old retreat. ”
Xiang Zhiyan said slowly with an expressionless face, facing this old brother in the clan, he was really too bad to admit his feelings.
"Patriarch, today's decay is only for one thing. The child's abnormality was supposed to be a big disaster. However, the fact that the child is missing now is not necessarily a bad thing for the clansmen. According to the old man's opinion, just let him go, there is no need to look for it, this is also a good thing for the clansmen!"
After Xiang Lao finished speaking, his eyes stared at Xiang Zhijun, obviously he didn't like it in his heart, and he wanted to ask for an explanation. Although this great elder is a member of the side clan, he has indeed made great contributions to the clan.
"In this way, is the Great Elder accusing the old man of acting inappropriately? Since the old man became the patriarch, everything has always put the family first, and now that the matter has come out, shouldn't the child be retrieved and the cause of the matter be found out? I don't think anyone wants to see the old things repeated!"
Xiang Zhijun's eyes also turned cold as he spoke, which shows how much he values this only grandson, Xiang Yun. In the depths of his heart, Xiang Yun is his best heir, but now that such a change has happened, he is bored in his heart!
"Okay! Okay! Since the patriarch is bent on going his own way, you are old and old! No matter what, you can watch it......!
Xiang Lao was suddenly angry, and immediately turned around and left with a cane.
"What about you? The old man has done his best for the family all his life, and he will definitely find out about Xiang Yun's disappearance, how can he let this matter go so unclear and unexplained! What if another clansman disappears in the clan for no reason in the future?"
The clansmen lowered their heads and whispered.
"I think the patriarch is right, it's a matter of the whole clan, and we must find out what's going on......"
"But what if a cloud suddenly comes back and harms the whole clan......
"Where did you say Xiang Yun went?......"
Just when the clansmen were disagreeing, Xiang Zhiyun shouted, "Enough......"
The crowd was so frightened that they immediately stopped. Xiang Zhijun slowly eased up, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "There is no need to discuss this matter, let's go back first, I have my own decision!"
Only then did the clansmen leave one after another, not daring to say more. Xiang Zhijun also returned to the house and called Xiang Tiande.
"Keep the word, no matter what, we must find Yun'er, he is not only the hope of our Xiang family......"
The clouds accompanied by the setting sun gradually seemed to be splashed with ink, and the lightning led to thunder, breaking the tranquility of this world. The rain poured frantically between the heavens and the earth like a floodgate, covering the sobs and tears of her mother, Meng Jingxue.
