Chapter Twenty-Nine: Children of the Family
Although it is an open secret to be with Jun Zhiheng, Yue Wanchen is still a little uncomfortable with Mo Xiao's jokes, perhaps because she is destined to lose, so she always reminds herself not to get used to short-term pleasures.
However, Jun Zhiheng thought that Mo Xiao was too enthusiastic and made her a little embarrassed, so he quickly diverted the topic.
"Tomorrow everyone should be here, and the competition will officially start the day after tomorrow. It's an eventful time, and we need to be vigilant. Mu Yun and Mo Xiao The two of you have to restrain your temper, although you will be fighting on behalf of your own family at that time, but if there is any accident, the first thing that will be pushed out is Qing'e Pavilion. I don't want you to slip up the cracks. β
β¦β¦
"Lord, the trial has begun, shall we send someone to ......?"
"If we don't have to do it ourselves, they will be messed up on their own, do you think they are very united internally? It's just a plate of loose sand. β
"Then it's better to take this opportunity to rescue Ghost Xi, if she stays in the Qing'er Pavilion any longer, sooner or later she will be refined, and it will be too late."
As soon as Mei Hao heard that Ming Xi mentioned the ghostly thing, he was extremely angry, and he grabbed Ming Xi's neck, "You have a deep sisterhood with him, do you know, that stupid one almost ruined my business, I said, you are not allowed to touch the moon and dust, do you hear?" β
Mei Hao's hand strength is getting bigger and bigger, and he almost suffocates Mingxi, "Lord...... I was wrong...... I was wrong. β
Mei Hao let go of her hand, and Mingxi lay on the ground like a mess of mud, gulping in the fresh air. This is the first time she has seen Mei Hao get so angry with him, if everyone has reverse scales, then Yue Wanchen is Mei Hao's reverse scales.
"Mingxi, don't forget how you lived, I can make you like a person, and I can also make you like a ghost."
After saying that, Mei Hao turned around and left, leaving Mingxi alone in shock. I still remember when I was in the Tan family, Mingxi still couldn't speak, but now she can communicate with people, not because she got her voice back, but because Mei Hao put a Gu in her body, she conveyed her thoughts to the Gu worm, and the Gu worm made a sound. So in the eyes of outsiders, she doesn't open her mouth when she speaks, just like in a thriller, non-people don't use their mouths to communicate, which looks really scary.
If you ask Mingxi if she has any regrets, then listening to Yiyangzi's words and using a ghost face to transfer is the biggest mistake in her life. If she hadn't been so greedy, she wouldn't have fallen to this, the actor couldn't do it, her life was almost gone, and now she could only be driven by Mei Hao, what is the difference between her and the ghost wandering outside?
A sneer came from the cage in the corner, and Mingxi's eyes instantly sharpened.
"Tan Shu, is it difficult to understand the word shut up?"
"I thought you had a big row in front of him, but you were just a little minion."
Ming Xi suddenly moved to the front of the cage, "Tan Shu, do you think he will let you go?" The moon dust is his reverse scale, he can't say it, he can't touch it, he can't hurt it, and the pain you put on her will be brought back to you little by little. So, what are you gloating about? β
Angry, Mingxi flicked his sleeves and left the place.
Who would have thought? The former proud daughter of the sky, the eldest daughter of the Tan family, has fallen to this point.
That day, Tan Shu was stabbed by Mingxi, she thought that this time she was going to die, because the feeling of blood flowing from her body was so profound, her limbs felt paralyzed a little bit, and her consciousness felt blurred a little bit. Until she fell into a coma, her mind kept replaying the appearance of Jun Zhiheng and Yue Wanchen together, which was really painful.
When Tan Shu was dying, she was taken to a completely unfamiliar place, when she opened her eyes, she only saw the iron fence, and the cold breath in the air, she thought she was dead, and now this place is the underworld.
When Tan Shu's mind cleared up, she suddenly found that even the top of her head was covered with an iron fence, could it be that she was locked in an iron cage?
Tan Shu couldn't figure out the situation, Mingxi had already walked down the stairs in front of her, and the light in this place was so dim that she couldn't see who was in front of her at all. Mingxi also didn't understand why the lord wanted to bring Tan Shu back, this woman was too heavy-minded, and her stomach was full of bad water for calculating people, but Mingxi didn't dare to ask.
Tan Shu thought for a while before she understood her current situation, and her back began to hurt hotly, which made her suddenly realize that she was not dead, but was taken to a strange place by strange people.
Mei Hao ordered Ming Xi to heal Tan Shu's injuries, and only gave her a little water and food every day, and soon, the previously glamorous Tan Shu became dirty and smelly, but she had to accept Mei Hao's insult, because after dying once, Tan Shu had already thought about it, nothing is more important than being alive, and nothing is more important than having the ability to take revenge after living.
Tan Shu, who was curled up in the corner of the cage like a dog, only had those eyes that were exceptionally bright.
Tan Shu's motivation to live now is her hatred for Tan Buyi, Yue Wanchen, and Jun Zhiheng, as long as she thinks that everything she has lost has become a stepping stone for others, she can't suppress her anger. She thinks a lot these days, she really can't get what Mei Hao thinks, he rarely appears in front of her, neither kills her nor lets her go, as if he catches her back just to be locked in a cage and tortured.
Mei Hao did achieve this goal, Tan Shu couldn't solve it, so she could only soothe her mood by arguing with Mingxi. In so many days here, she knew that Mei Hao's identity was not simple, and her power was huge. The ghost face who possessed her last year was actually Mei Hao's subordinate, and the ghost face played Yiyangzi around...... If, if she is also obedient to Mei, will she definitely have a day of revenge.
But Tan Shu was a little hesitant, she basically hadn't seen Mei Hao much in the past few days here, and most of them were Mingxi who came to sarcastically mock her. However, today, she not only saw Mei Hao, but also saw such a tyrannical side of him, Mingxi has been following him for a while, and if she doesn't agree, she will strangle Mingxi, she looks at Mingxi's painful appearance, and for a moment she feels that her neck is also a little painful.
This made Tan Shu fall into a panic, Mingxi said that Yue Wanchen was Mei Hao's reverse scale, she was going to reveal Yue Wanchen's true identity in front of everyone, and then she was stabbed, which proved that she did provoke him, but he didn't kill her for a long time, but kept her here, what did Mei Hao want to do.
At this time, a footstep was approaching Tan Shu. Tan Shu turned her face slightly, the person was already very close to herself, and she couldn't stand up in the cage again, she could only see a pair of feet in front of her.
"It turns out that you are Tan Shu, I thought it was someone who caused chaos in Xilan's world, but I didn't expect it to be so ordinary."
Tan Shu thought about it for a while, she hadn't heard this voice since she came here, this was a woman, and a woman who was not low, "Who are you?" Don't you find it boring to look for a sense of superiority in my subordinate prisoners? β
"Who said I was here in search of superiority? I'm here to save you. β
I saw the woman squatting down and approaching Tan Shu, Tan Shu finally saw her face clearly, "I'm sure I don't know you, so why did you save me out?" β
"You're so naΓ―ve, I didn't say that saving you is to let you out, I mean that you can have a place here in the Lord, and once you are reused by the Lord, you can do what you want to do the most, for example, kill a woman you have always hated poisoning."
Tan Shu laughed a few times, her voice was full of mockery, "It seems that you already have a plan, Yue Wanchen is really a bad character, when did you have such an enemy?" β
"It was a very early time, I didn't know her identity in the past, but now I can't tolerate it anymore. We are in the same boat and deserve to help each other, hehehe. β
β¦β¦
In addition to earning a ranking, the Heavenly Dao Trial also has to fight for a chance, this opportunity is very rare, but anyone who has gained benefits does not want to enter it again. That's right, that opportunity is an opportunity to enter a place, and the reason why the elders of each family need to gather is because that place can only be opened by everyone's cooperation, and the power of only one person is simply a fool's dream.
The name of that place is called the Dark Bone Demon Mound, and it is said that it is the tomb that the Great Demon chose for himself 10,000 years ago. It's just that in the end, I don't know for what reason.,The demon mound has been empty.γ Since it is called the Dark Bone Demon Mound, there must be ghosts and demonic energy rampant inside, but anything that grows in it or discards it is not ordinary.
Over the years, most of the things obtained were some medicinal herbs, which were specially used to refine poison or heal wounds. Because the effect of the drug is too strong, they do not dare to use it. But it was more than twenty years ago that Jun Nuocheng won the first place in the big competition, so he entered the demon mound, where he got a bone knife, which was full of ghost energy and extremely sharp, and he accidentally passed the cultivation bottleneck that he had not broken through for two years.
The power of the bone knife is very powerful, I don't know what kind of human bones it is, some powerful ghosts were so frightened that they lost their minds when they saw the bone knife, and they ended the battle before they could make a move. What's more, the wound will not heal after being scratched. For demons, ordinary injuries are not taken seriously at all, because the speed of healing is very fast. And the demon who was injured by the bone knife not only could not heal the wound, but also became contaminated with some powerful poison, and died quickly after falling into madness.
During that period of time, the combination of Jun Nuocheng and the bone knife simply frightened the demons and monsters and fled. Junnuocheng's chances made everyone envious, so they were even more crazy to get the top spot, that is, since then, the fair and just game has been deviated.
In order to get the leader, whether it is the children of the family or the heavenly masters of the wild road, they have learned to play tricks. If you can't get the first place, then kill the person who gets the first place; If your cultivation is higher than mine, I will collapse your body in advance and make it impossible for you to get into the ring; When fighting each other's internal forces, use hidden weapons to make you go crazy...... And so on and so forth, and so on, and so on.
After this kind of thing happens, most people can only endure this dark loss, first, there is no evidence, and secondly, they still have to walk the rivers and lakes, and it is not a wise choice to cut off the back road early. So again and again, it doesn't matter whether the strength is strong or not, the key is whether it can be calculated in place. Especially this time, the trial was placed in the Qu family, as long as there is money, I am afraid that Sha Seng can be a bridesmaid for Tang Sanzang.
The trial on the first day was placed in the martial arts arena of the manor, mainly to test the fist and foot kung fu. Spells and magic weapons are not allowed, poisons and hidden weapons are not allowed, and of course as long as you are not discovered, you can be treated as if you are not using them. Generally, the people who participate in this competition are young children from various families, and they are not skilled in Taoism to try their fists and feet first.
Children from the top eight families have signed up, and children from other families can also participate. The winner of the two-person competition advances to the final first place.
As the head of the Jun family and the patriarch of the Jun family, Jun Zhiheng has rarely paid attention to these things over the years, and after the last time he met Jun Nuocheng, the relationship between the two has also eased. Maybe because he is an uncle, Junnuo is not so harsh on Jun Zhiheng, but more empathetic, when he was a child, when he was criticized by his father, he had to go to the second uncle to find comfort. So he prefers to be close to his second uncle than his father.
Jun Zhiheng arrived at the door of the small courtyard where Jun was resting, and his second uncle was standing at the door waiting for his arrival. As soon as he saw Jun Zhiheng, Jun Nuoyan immediately gave him a big hug, just like in the past, after so many years, his second uncle's personality is still so cheerful.
"I said Ah Zhi, last time you went back, you didn't say to come to see the second uncle, you see that you have lost weight, the second uncle misses you very much."
"Last time, it really happened for a reason, so I'll see which children were sent this time."
"There are many children in the clan, and your brother is here in our family, if you want to maintain the first position in the family, you still have to rely on you."
As if knowing that Jun Zhiheng came back to visit Jun Nuo, a few children secretly peaned on the door frame to look out. Unexpectedly, Jun Zhiheng felt the resentful gaze he found when he returned to Jun's house last time. That is, it disappeared in a few seconds, and this person is really haunted. Jun Zhiheng knows that he has many enemies, including the Jun family, of course, but he is also an interesting person who follows him here so persistently.
At first, Jun Zhiheng thought it was an outsider such as an attendant, but this time the scope was determined, and the people who harbored malice towards him were among the children who participated in the big competition this time.
Jun Zhiheng pretended to be inadvertently and asked Jun Nuo a few words, "Second uncle, these children who came here were all personally chosen by you?" β
Jun Nuoyan patted Jun Zhiheng s shoulder, "You kid, of course, how can you fool around with such a big thing, if it weren't for your father's high blood pressure recently, he would have come in person, and by the way, he would have come to see you." You must remember to go home when you are not busy. β
Jun Zhiheng smiled, "My father asked the second uncle, I will definitely go back when I have time." β
After Jun Zhiheng returned to the small attic, a waiter came to inform him that the competition was about to start, so please go and watch the game.
The competition they are going to watch is already the final stage, because if the two catch and fight together, not only will the time drag on, but the audience will also get tired of watching, so before the last four people are compared, the game is played in a small field. Needless to say, the referees are all respected elders of various families. In order to ensure fairness, the referees and players are all determined by lottery, and there will be no abuse of power in order to let their children advance.
When Jun Zhiheng and them arrived, the seats were almost full, and it was still the good listener named Lao Qu who led them to a relatively quiet stand, so that they could see the game below clearly, but not so close to the others. To be honest, Jun Zhiheng was still quite satisfied with this arrangement, after all, he didn't want anyone to notice that there was an extra person on the side of the Qing'e Pavilion that they didn't know.
When the head of the Qu family saw Jun Zhiheng appear, he deliberately stood up and nodded, and the people around him saw that the master of the Qu family was so formal, and they all looked at Jun Zhiheng, including Song Tianyan, who had entered the Dian Mountain with Yue Wanchen last time. Jun Zhiheng deliberately took a step forward, which happened to cover Yue Wanchen's figure and block many inquiring eyes. Jun Zhiheng bowed slightly, and at the same time returned the salute to the master of the Qu family. No more, no less, Song Tianyan only saw Mo Xiao sitting outside, he was still a little strange, not that the four main directors of the Qing'e Pavilion only came three this time, who was the fourth person sitting in the stands, but he didn't think much about it, his eyes were attracted by the ring in the center of the martial arts arena.
The head of the Qu family has a single name and a baby character, and he is older than Jun Nuocheng, but he got married relatively late, so the child is five years younger than Jun Zhiheng. Qu Ying's wife is not in good health, and she has only had one girl named Qu Yanran over the years.
Speaking of this, Qu Yanran is also an interesting person, her background is very similar to Tan Shu, but she has no bad problems with Tan Shu at all. There has never been a thing of relying on his identity as a concubine to oppress other children, and not only that, but he was praised as a real high-ranking lady. Knowledgeable and courteous, there is a degree of advance and retreat, as if all the beautiful words in the world to describe a lady can be put on her, but it is a pity that she only has one shortcoming, that is, she looks ordinary.
The reason why Tan Shu is sometimes so presumptuous can also be said to be beautiful and murderous, it is undeniable that she can indeed be described by two words: gorgeous. Among the four beauties of the family, Tan Shu, Ye Lichou, Mo Zhu, and Song Xiushi have their own merits, and Huan Feiyan is thin and graceful, and they have been sought after by everyone since they were children, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the door. But Qu Yanran is not like this, she has been very ordinary since she was a child, and her name has never been among the famous beauties in the family. But when it comes to being knowledgeable, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the first one is Qu Yanran. Her knowledge made everyone forget her appearance, and she was originally the daughter of a big family, which made her extra different, and she was cold and not the same as the world.
