Chapter 43: The Man Behind the Scenes
The ancestors of the thousand families are already in their prime, and if they are placed in an ordinary home, they are an old birthday star.
But as a person who cultivates immortals, his life has arrived, but he has never broken the rank, and he can only regret it for life.
Before, in order to allow the old ancestor to cultivate with peace of mind, the Qianjia arranged his residence in the back mountain.
This time, the old ancestor knew that he had run out of oil, and his cultivation refused to go further, so he went out of the mountain, intending to enjoy the last moment of family fun.
Although the juniors don't know the truth, the older generation does.
The head of the family said that he was going to visit a friend, but he was actually going to a friend's house to find a panacea. Unfortunately, it was too late after all.
Fu Ze walked in the temporary residence arranged by the thousand families for the ancestors, probably because the ancestors lived for a short time, so everything seemed to be new, and there was nothing unusual.
Although Fuze said that he would investigate with the officials, the officials were still very measured and consciously guarded the door.
"Who?"
Fu Ze turned around and saw a servant stop a girl dressed in a maid.
"What's wrong?"
The official replied: "If you go back to Gongzi, this woman suddenly appeared, and I waited until I saw her, so I stopped her." β
Fu Ze looked at the girl, with an ordinary face, very neatly cleaned up, dressed in maid clothes.
Belongs to the kind of people who are very ordinary and can't be found in the pile.
Fu Ze kept a heart in his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it here? β
The woman seemed to be frightened by this battle, and said resignedly: "I, my name is Xiao Tao, and I am the ...... who serves the ancestors."
The official asked, "Don't you know what happened to the Qianjia?" Why, the whole thousand families are gone, but you are okay? β
Xiao Tao was suddenly paralyzed by fright, she knelt on the ground, kept wiping her tears, and cried: "Official, my mother was seriously ill a few days ago, so I asked for leave and went home. As soon as I came back today, I found out that ......"
The official continued, "Then you still come in?" Shouldn't you run for your life? The news in Qianmo Town is going fast, how far away do you live to not hear the news? β
"I ...... Official, I'm in a hurry to come back, I didn't ......"
"Okay, okay, come with us, Xiao Zhou, you take her back to the yamen."
"Official, official......"
"What's the matter? Be quiet, don't annoy this son. β
Xiao Tao crawled to Fuze on her knees, tugged at the hem of Fuze's clothes, took out a letter from her arms, and handed it to Fuze.
"This son, Xiao Tao has received the favor of thousands of families before, and today, even if he fights for this life, he doesn't want to be wronged! This letter was written to the old ancestor before Xiao Tao went home, and the old ancestor was in the critical period of cultivation at that time, so I thought about waiting for the old ancestor to leave the customs before giving it to him. I didn't expect ...... Woowoo...... Xiao Tao is illiterate, and she doesn't know if this can save the life of her ancestors...... Little Peach is guilty......"
Fu Ze took the letter from the maid's trembling hand and put it in his sleeve.
"Okay, you don't have to blame yourself, maybe this is the fate of the ancestors, you can go with the officials with peace of mind, they won't do anything to you."
"That'...... Thank you, Childe. β
A servant pulled up the maid and walked to the yamen, from the residence of the ancestor to the gate, you need to pass through a quiet water pavilion.
At this time, there were almost no people in the huge Qianjia.
I could only hear a scream of "ah", followed by the sound of falling water.
A woman took off her maid costume and tore off the mask of human flesh on her face, and her apricot eyes glanced behind her, revealing a flattering smile, and then disappeared into the quiet water pavilion......
Fu Ze took the letter and didn't know whether to open it or not.
Write to the ancestor, what did that maid do for him? Since you want to call the prefectural order, shouldn't you hand it over to the prefectural order?
Holding the envelope, Fuzawa slowly placed it on the table......
β¦β¦
Jiang Zhu received news from Jiu Liming and rushed to a mass grave.
The Jiuli brothers found the corpses of several members of the Qianjia family who had disappeared before, but they did not see the two young masters.
Jiu Liming looked at his young sect master coming alone and asked, "Why did the young sect master come alone?" What about Linchuan Gongzi? β
"I'll tell him to stay in Qianmo Town and don't come out."
After saying this, Jiang Zhu suddenly came back to his senses, that Qianmo Town is not necessarily safe, what is more reassuring than taking people with him?
How could he commit such a foolish thing?
Jiang Zhu hurriedly turned on the communicator, and when he heard that Fu Ze was safe and sound, he was slightly relieved.
"You can stay in the restaurant in peace and wait for me to go back."
Fu Ze frowned, why did Jiang Zhu manage so much? He's not a two-year-old.
"Ah Wu, why are you ......?"
"I'll let you stay good!"
Jiang Zhu was particularly worried that Fu Ze was murdered by someone before, but he hadn't eased up yet.
"Oh...... Oh. β
Fu Ze didn't understand, how this brother's temperament was getting worse and worse, I remember that when I first met, his temperament was simply gentle.
After roaring, Jiang Zhu also realized that he had gone too far, and after a while, he found his own voice.
"Linchuan, you have been particularly dangerous recently, be obedient and stay quiet."
"Okay, I'm in the restaurant now, it's very safe." It's just a trip to a thousand homes.
"Hmm. Then I'll hurry up and deal with the matter here, and I'll go back. β
Cutting off contact, Jiang Zhu hurriedly checked the corpse, and at this look, he felt slightly that something was wrong.
Seeing that the young sect master actually checked it himself, Jiuli Xiang hurriedly stepped forward.
Jiang Zhu squinted his eyes and stepped out of the way.
Jiu Liming walked up to Jiang Zhu's side, "Young Sect Master, do you also feel that something is wrong?" β
"You found out too?"
"Yes."
Before Jiu Liming could say why, Jiu Lixiang over there began to scream: "Love my mother, brother, brother, come and see, these people, they ...... They're all bones! β
They will not be dead for half a month at most, which is still calculated according to the time of the accident of the young man. A normal corpse, after the soul leaves the body, will retain a small part of the soul in the body, and this part of the soul can maintain the last form of the body, even if it is separated from the main body's soul, it has no effect on the main body.
This corpse is turning into bones so quickly...... There is only one possibility.
The soul is completely gone.
Just now, Jiang Zhu found that the surroundings of this corpse were quiet, but he didn't expect that it would be as clean as this!
"Young Master...... Young Sect Master, I ......" Jiu Lixiang regretted his rude actions just now, the young sect master didn't like his babbling temperament, he knew it.
Jiu Liming patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and blamed him for being useless. The younger brother has been very timid since he was a child, if not to survive, not to ...... Why did they do this?
"The young sect master won't blame you, just behave well in the future."
Jiuli Xiang nodded, and watched Jiu Li Ming walk to the young sect master's side, and Jiu Li Xiang turned around.
He pinched his thighs fiercely, secretly admonishing himself that he couldn't be so useless anymore, as a man, he was so timid, it was just too embarrassing.
Jiang Zhu was shocked by Jiulixiang's discovery just now, and Jiang Zhu was in no mood to care about his reaction.
Seeing the young sect master's serious expression, Jiu Liming couldn't help but secretly worry.
After a long while, seeing that the sun was about to set, Jiang Zhu put away his thoughts, took out the Silver Moon Dagger, and slashed the blade across his palm, bringing out a few drops of red blood.
With a wave of his arm, the Silver Moon Dagger instantly turned into a human-high, silver-glowing scytheβthis was the clan weapon of the Wuling Cloud Mansion.
The Jiuli brothers looked blankly, even as a disciple of the Xiyun Sect, there were not many opportunities to see the people of the Wuling Yun Mansion, let alone see the Yun family's clan weapon Empty Scythe with their own eyes.
Jiang Zhu's empty sickle is called Tianxing, and among the clan weapons of the younger generation, Tianxing ranks first.
He instilled spiritual power into Tianxing, and Tianxing slashed through, capturing only a trace of afterimage, and the bones all over the ground instantly disappeared.
"Let's go. It's time to go back. β
β¦β¦
In a secret room, several people stood.
The leader sat at the top and looked down at the few people who nodded in front of him.
If Fu Ze is here, he will definitely recognize it, and one of them is Cheng Ershao.
The one who sat at the top did not speak, and those below did not dare to speak. I don't know how long it took for the first man to speak:
"Where's the Yiyou?"
Cheng Er hurried forward a little bit and said flatteringly: "If you go back to the adult, I have already let that young lady be served, I don't know ......"
"Hmph...... Miss. But you're right, she's really her miss. That's it, just let her stay with you first, and you can't get lost again. β
"Yes, yes."
Cheng Er wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and said in his heart that he was on someone.
Not long ago, this person sent someone to find him, saying that he could win the position of the head of the Qingzhou family, but he would not agree unless he was stupid.
Who knows, the head of the family is gone, and even the Cheng family is cheaper than Cheng Jiache's kid.
Of course, his careful thoughts could not be concealed from the person sitting at the top, but that person was not in the mood to care about this. It's just a useless chess piece, and it's just a good hand to use at the moment.
"Alright, you can step aside."
After Cheng Er shuddered and stepped back, the person at the top asked the person standing straight below, "Xun San, how is the matter of the Qianjia?" β
"Back to my lord, that person is not. So we locked him up there. β
"Well, I've been working hard for you for a while."
"Don't dare."
The person sitting at the top suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, Wenxun, you are like this, but it's not very good." β
Wen Xun lowered his head and said in a voice that the man could hear: "Xun San, but according to orders." β
"Well, that's right. I've heard, you guys accidentally caught a ghost? β
Xun San gritted his teeth and replied: "Xun Er did it, and now it is locked up in ...... There. β
"Hey, what don't you dare to say, isn't it just locked up in Penglai, cultivating immortals in the Holy Land, hmph, I don't think that's it."
Xun San did not answer.
The man said to himself: "You guys, you have to take care of it, you can't kill it, don't let him escape, I heard that the ghost is not a vegetarian, Xun Er also paid a lot of money to catch him." If you run away...... Don't even think about living! β
The bottom neatly is: "Yes!" β
The person sitting at the top nodded in satisfaction, and the hand that had been holding the armrest was clenched into a fist.
It should be his, and he can't run away anyway.
