In the next ten minutes, through Bai Xu's personal narration, as well as the occasional additions of Bai Baihua and Bai Yueling, Li Changjing and Lu Li finally had a certain understanding of this colorful town.

The Bai family moved here three hundred years ago, when Wucai Town was just a small village with only a few dozen households.

The reason why the Bai family has stayed here for generations is because there is a very rare special stone here, Scorpion Stone.

It is rumored that the Scorpio Stone is one of the remaining colorful divine stones left by Nuwa to mend the sky in ancient times, so the Bai family called themselves the Mending Heaven Clan, and after the town was formed, it was also renamed Wucai Town.

Through refining, the Scorpion Stone will become a substance that can be directly absorbed by the cultivator, and the effect is to expand the capacity of the cultivator's Dao Fetus, which is very magical. Through these magical stones, the Bai family has occasionally produced a few powerful cultivators, and this is how Bai Xu and Bai Baihua's strength came about.

When he said this, Lu Li asked a very crucial question: since he had such a magical stone, why were there very few cultivators in the Bai family, and most of them were still ordinary people?

To this, Bai Xu replied: Scorpio stone is produced in a cave, there is a strange energy in that cave, rejecting everything, if people stay in it for too long, they will have symptoms of dizziness, and in severe cases, they will hallucinate, which is very scary, so that cave is called a circle cave by them.

Bai Xu also added that in the entire town today, Bai Yueling is the only one who can not be rejected by that force, so in recent years, all the scorpion stones that the Bai family needs have been brought out by her.

Li Changjing suddenly realized, no wonder Bai Yueling, as a girl, would be so respected in the town, not to mention the Bai family, even the Zhou family was very jealous when they saw her, and during the day on the street, she stood up to speak instead of Bai Xu, not Bai Baihua, who was older than her.

It seems that Bai Yueling's princess disease and knife mouth are undoubtedly raised since childhood.

As for the grievances between the Bai family and the Zhou family, it sounds very simple.

More than a hundred years ago, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was turbulent, thieves and thieves were rampant, although Wucai Town was located in the middle of nowhere, but after all, it was not a secret place, was found by a group of bandits near Funiu Mountain, and also knew the secret of the Scorpion Stone, so driven by greed, the group of thieves launched a siege on the village, intending to slaughter all the villagers and swallow the Scorpion Stone alone.

At that time, the people in the village were weak, although a few people had cultivated extraordinary strength through the scorpion stone, but it was still difficult to resist the vicious bandits, and at the last moment, a young man named Zhou Bo, together with the villagers, defeated the bandits.

That Zhou Bo was the first patriarch of the Zhou family. According to the older generation, Zhou Bo was the son of a minister, because the minister angered the Empress Dowager Cixi, resulting in the destruction of the whole house, leaving him alone to escape.

At that time, the patriarch of the Bai clan was very grateful to Zhou Bo, not only invited him to live in the village, but also told him the secret of the Scorpio Stone, and even married a woman of the Bai family as his wife, and lived and worked in peace and contentment in the village.

"It's providential." Bai Xu sighed and said: "At that time, my Bai family said that Zhou Bo was allowed to enter the formation cave to extract the scorpion stone, but he couldn't stay in it for too long to prevent accidents, but Zhou Bo didn't listen, and stayed in it for three days and three nights, but he was too deeply injured by the force in the cave, and he died soon after he came out. ”

"Zhou Bo was only fifty years old when he died, and the four sons he gave birth to blamed on our Bai family, accusing the Bai family of hypocrisy, on the one hand, allowing Zhou Bo to enter the cave, on the other hand, concealing the risks in the cave, and deliberately wanting Zhou Bo to die." Bai Xu took a sip of tea and continued to explain: "At that time, in order to appease Zhou Bo's descendants, the head of my Bai family decided to hand over ten catties of scorpion stones to the Zhou family every year in the future, which is considered compensation, but even so, the Zhou family and the Bai family have been estranged, and Zhou Bo's descendants swore not to intermarry with the Bai family, the men went out to find their daughters-in-law, and the women simply married out and never came back...... And our Bai family can't intermarry within the clan, so we have to draw gourds according to the scoop, scatter the clansmen, and find mates freely, so that Wucai Town can continue to grow and develop, and step by step it has become the scale it is today. ”

"In fact, our Bai family and Zhou family had a short period of relationship warming." Bai Yueling suddenly interjected: "It's my grandfather who has passed away, his name is Bai Wenxiu, and together with Zhou Shitian, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, he responded to the call, joined the army, fought against the island invaders, cultivated deep revolutionary feelings on the battlefield, and worshipped the master." ”

"Later, the two of them retired from the army and went home, planning to repair the relationship between the two families, and entered the cave together, wanting to find out what the force that repelled people inside was."

Speaking of this, Bai Yueling suddenly became very angry, and said viciously: "But who knew that Zhou Shitian, the old Wang Ba, actually plotted against my grandfather in the cave and killed my grandfather!" ”

Li Changjing and Lu Li were taken aback at the same time, and said in disbelief: "Your grandfather was killed by the old patriarch Zhou?" ”

"That's right!" Bai Yueling said angrily: "My grandfather went in with Zhou Shitian and stayed inside for two days and two nights, but when the results came out, my grandfather died, but Zhou Shitian was fine...... It's not that we framed him, but my grandfather had a deep strangulation mark on his neck, which almost broke his neck, and there was a deep slap mark on his back, and even the vertebrae were broken! ”

Bai Xu nodded and added: "The statement given by Zhou Shitian is that there was a lot of smoke in the cave at that time, and he couldn't see things clearly, my father was suddenly attacked by something, and he only heard a scream, he ran over to take a look, and my father fell to the ground, unconscious." ”

Bai Yueling sneered: "Brother Li, Brother Lu, you are commenting, is the explanation given by Zhou Shitian reasonable?" What's more, we also sent people into the formation cave to look for it, but there was nothing in it, and I have often been in and out of the formation cave in the past few years, bringing the scorpion stone out, and there was no accident. ”

Bai Baihua sighed, "After my grandfather died, Zhou Shitian's strength rose by leaps and bounds, and he became a true third-order ...... It is precisely because of this that we firmly believe that grandpa was killed by Zhou Shitian, and since then, our Bai family and the Zhou family have been incompatible, and the enmity is bigger than the sky, and it is difficult to resolve it anymore. ”

"I see." After listening to the ins and outs, Li Changjing finally had the feeling of being sudden.

It's just that Lu Li frowned and said to Bai Xu, "Patriarch Bai, have you ever entered that formation cave yourself?" ”

Bai Xu nodded and said, "Naturally, I have entered." But I didn't stay in it for long, only about ten hours at most. ”

Lu Li groaned: "Patriarch Bai, you and Old Patriarch Zhou have been poisoned by the same poison, and what you have in common is that you have both entered the formation cave, will it ...... The source of the toxin is in the cave? ”

Bai Xu's face changed, "This ......"

"I don't think it's possible." Bai Yueling frowned and said, "If I go in, I may be poisoned, so why am I fine?" ”

Bai Baihua also echoed: "Yes, Xiao Ling is the person who has entered the formation cave the most times over the years, the longest time, and she has stayed in it for a day and a night, why is she okay?" ”

"I think what Brother Lu said is very reasonable, the cause of the poisoning is probably in the cave." Li Changjing suddenly interjected: "Have you forgotten, Zhou Shixuan, the patriarch of the Zhou family, was also poisoned by the same poison as the Bai patriarch, and when he was on the street during the day, didn't someone say that he saw him in the cave?" And it was five hours. ”

Hearing his words, Bai Xu's face became a little heavier, and even Bai Yueling stopped speaking, as if she was considering this possibility.

"Tianhua, you go and ask the people below to see if Zhou Shixuan has really entered the cave." Bai Xu said in a deep voice.

During the day, Hua answered and left in a hurry, but in less than five minutes, he came back again, saying that he had asked the guards of the cave that Zhou Shixuan did go in that day, and when he came out, he also injured a guard, and because he was afraid of being punished, the guards did not report the matter for a long time.

"The Zhou family is really getting bolder and bolder!" Bai Yueling said angrily: "I have long known that they have bad intentions and want to occupy our family's Scorpion Stone, if you want me to see, you can not give them ten kilograms per year in the future!" ”

Bai Xu coughed lightly and muttered to himself, "Could it really be that the problem is really in the array?" ”

Lu Li thought for a moment and answered: "Patriarch Bai, the Rejuvenation Pill I refined is only a temporary relief of your condition, and it is a symptom but not a cure. If you want to eradicate the toxins in your body, you still have to start from the source of the toxins, if you are really poisoned in the cave, I think it is necessary to go in and check it. ”

"What's the point of this?" Bai Baihua shook his head and said: "I have been in the cave many times, but there is nothing, and the Scorpion Stone has been used for generations, it can't be the problem of the Scorpion Stone, right?" ”

"Brother, that's because you didn't go into the depths of the cave." Bai Yueling said in a low voice: "I have been to the depths of the cave twice, but because it is too dark, I am afraid alone, and I come back halfway through." ”

Bai Bai Hua was speechless for a while: "This ......"

"Okay, Brother Lu Li has a point." Bai Xu thought for a while and decided: "That's it, tomorrow we will send someone to the formation cave to check carefully, it is best to find it, and if you don't find it, you can feel at ease." ”

"Dad, did you forget? Only Xiao Ling can enter the cave alone, but she is so timid, dare to go into the deepest part? Bai Baihua worried.

"It's okay, I can go in with Brother Li." Bai Yueling looked at Li Changjing and said with a smile: "He is the most courageous, there is a big snake in the Ruan family's mansion, and he dares to live in it alone." ”

"Xiaoling, don't mess around, Brother Changjing is a guest, just came here, why did you ask him to do things for us?" Bai Baihua scolded.

"Brother Bai, it's okay, if there is a place where I can be useful, just tell me." Li Changjing smiled, but felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, he was quite curious about that formation.

"Look, Brother Li said he didn't mind." Bai Yueling snorted and muttered in a low voice, "It's just you who worry about it all day long." ”

Bai Baihua was a little moved, and was about to educate her a few words, but he heard Bai Xu wave his hand and interrupted: "Okay, since Brother Changjing agreed, then I bother you to accompany Xiaoling to the cave tomorrow." ”

Li Changjing nodded and agreed to this matter.

After eating, Li Changjing and Lu left the dining hall and planned to go back to their rooms.

But when he was on the road, Lu Li suddenly said to Li Changjing: "Brother Li, you have to be careful Big Brother Bai." ”

Li Changjing raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised: "What did you say?" ”

Seeing that he was slow to react, Lu Li was a little anxious, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "When I came back just now, I saw Brother Bai and that Zhou Yuan together, as if they were discussing something, but because of the distance, I couldn't hear their words clearly, but I would read my lips and find that they mentioned your name many times in the process of chatting, and their expressions were very hideous, as if they were going to eat people!" ”
