Chapter 22: Where did the immortals come from?
The Wu family has been in business for generations, and it is the largest family in Sichuan Prefecture and the largest person in power behind Jianyun City.
The entire Wu family is located in the center of Jianyun City, covering an extremely wide area, and the two largest rivers in Jianyun City flow through the inner courtyard of Wufu.
Looking down on the whole Wu Mansion is like a circle of circular labyrinths, and this circular labyrinth is divided into the inner house and the outer house, the inner house located in the center is the residence of the Wu family's master's house, and the Wu family 18 branches live in the outer house, the inner house is tightly surrounded by the outer house, and outside the outer house, there are layers of rockery and stone trees to form a formation, such a strict design makes the whole Wu house form an easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Ahem."
Qiu Rakshasa stood in front of the Wu family's door a few feet high and cleared his throat, just about to reach out to buckle the door knocker of the Wu family's bronze beast Ugin, but he didn't expect to be held down by the guards standing on the side.
"This son, please knock on the side door."
Although Qiu Rakshasa felt that the mundane things in the world were disturbing, he didn't think much about it in his heart and knocked on the side door.
I didn't like it, but I sighed a little more in my heart, thinking that when she deposited the little shrimp in the Wu family two hundred years ago, there were not so many rules, but the changes in the Wu family in just one hundred years have been so big, it seems that the changes in this world are indeed much faster than the world of cultivating immortals.
It wasn't long before a gray-clad servant came out of the small side door.
The servant respectfully saluted the two of them before asking, "Why did the two distinguished guests come to the Wu Mansion?" ”
"Come and find someone." I don't like to say.
"I wonder who the girl is looking for?"
"Many years ago, I had an appointment with your mansion to foster the son of a deceased into the house, and I negotiated with the old family owner to take him away when the time was ripe, and I will come to pick him up when the time is ripe."
The gray-clothed servant thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of which son of the old man the woman in front of him was.
"Girl, it's not a mistake, my Wu Mansion has never had such a noble person in the foster care mansion."
Qiu Rakshasa smiled when he heard this: "How can you know about such a hidden matter, I have to trouble you and run for the two of us, and he will understand if he delivers this token to the master of your mansion." ”
He said that, he didn't like it, so he took out a piece of jade from his arms, the jade was extremely translucent, its surface seemed to be stained by ink, and the warm jade grease with this ink color was like a river surging, showing a bit of mystery under the background of the sun.
Although this little guy is a servant of the Wu Mansion, he can guard in front of the door of the Wu Mansion every day, and he has also seen the world, and he can see at a glance that this jade is very valuable.
He carefully took the jade from Buxi's hand, and said solemnly to the two: "The two distinguished guests are still here, and I will go back later." ”
"Trouble sir." Dislike nodded at him.
The little servant politely saluted the two of them again, and then left in a hurry with the jade pendant.
………
The cabinet of the head of the Wu family's inner house
Wu Kangcheng, the head of the family, took the black jade presented by the little maid in his hand and rummaged it left and right, his face was full of sorrow for a while, and his expression was cold, and the little girl who sent the jade next to him stood respectfully waiting for his orders.
The heads of the various branches of the family stood on both sides of the hall, looking at Wu Kangcheng with a confused expression, they didn't understand why the head of the family suddenly summoned all the people over.
"Master, why did you call us here this time?" An elderly side officer stepped forward and asked, instructed by everyone's eyes.
Wu Kangcheng didn't reply to his words, but asked the little guy next to him: "Do those two people have an arrangement?" ”
"If you come home, you have placed them in the Tianlu Pavilion in the outer courtyard."
Wu Kangcheng nodded: "Well done, you step back first!" ”
"Yes."
The little guy didn't say much, he waved his hands to Wu Kangcheng in response, and bowed to everyone before retreating.
The people under the main seat were thinking about the meaning of the head of the house in their hearts, and the head of the house suddenly called them over, and they didn't say a word for a long time, just looked at the piece of jade in their hands over there, and they were more or less dissatisfied in their hearts.
A few bold ones emboldened themselves and asked, "The head of the house, the head of the house?" ”
These people screamed a few times, and it took a long time for Wu Kangcheng's eyes to move from the jade to the people under the seat.
"What did the head of the family call me to discuss this time?" A middle-aged man standing at the front asked.
Wu Kangcheng asked as if intentionally and unintentionally: "Do you say that there are immortals in this world?" ”
"This..."
Everyone looked at each other for a while and didn't know how to answer, why was the head of the family so bored today, and gathered a group of them here just to ask this kind of question?
"I thought there wasn't," Wu Kangcheng said to himself.
"But today there is." Wu Kangcheng's voice was a little mocking, and he didn't know whether to mock himself or others.
The old man who spoke at the beginning suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Master of the family, what do you mean..."
"When I was the head of the family, I went to Linpu Villa to pick up a person, I don't know... Do you remember? ”
Everyone looked at each other, of course they knew and remembered, but in their eyes, the man was just an illegitimate child of no value born from some unconscious clan in the family.
"Back then, I took over as the head of the family from the old master, and the old master forced me to take the people of Linpu Villa back." Wu Kangcheng fell into the memory.
"I just thought it was an illegitimate child of him, but I never thought that what the head of the family said back then was true." Wu Kangcheng said that the corners of his mouth outlined a sarcastic smile.
"That kid could really be the bloodline of the Immortal Family."
"What immortal bloodline!" The crowd was incredulous.
"Heh, the fairy family... There are really immortals in this world. Wu Kangcheng sneered.
"He once said that everything in the Wu family was given by the immortals, and everything in the Wu family was tightly tied to that child, which sounds like a big joke, who would believe such an absurd and bizarre story."
Wu Kangcheng's eyes narrowed: "I thought it was just a reason for him to bury his past crimes, but I never thought that the immortal family he said would really come to the door today." ”
"The immortals have come to our Wu family?"
"What! What you said is true, the head of the house! ”
"That wild seed is actually the blood of the immortal family, what kind of joke!"
"Are you kidding?"
……
The voices of everyone in the audience were disturbed, but Wu Kangcheng's eyes were still on the piece of ink jade.
"The old master gave me a piece of jade, which looks exactly like the one in my hand, and he told me that if the owner of this jade comes to the door, it will be an immortal coming to my Wu family again."
"What! Could it be that there are really immortals in this world? A man muttered, his eyes full of disbelief.
"I don't know if there are any immortals, but the owner of this jade has indeed come to the door." Wu Kang's gaze swept over everyone.
"If this person is an immortal, wouldn't God bless my Wu family and make our Wu family go to the next level?" A last-in-line manager asked.
"But God bless me, my family wants that child." Wu Kangcheng interrupted the man's fantasy with a sneer.
"What!!"
Everyone in the audience was silent, and they all knew that the child could not be found at all.
The child was long dead, and his body was probably still being torn by wild beasts in the Chaos Front.
The people below changed from whispering to boiling back, and in the face of the people who had become a mess, Wu Kangcheng, as the head of the family, just watched quietly.
