The management of the Shushan faction is still very clearly classified.

For example, the True Martial Elder is in charge of the teaching, sorting, and creation of kung fu in the martial arts cultivation system. Disciple subduing demons and subduing demons affairs management, lock demon tower related defense work.

Another example is the Xuanqi Elder, who is responsible for the teaching of qi exercises and the collation of historical documents in Shushan.

Elder Yuanshen is responsible for the teaching of exercises for cultivating gods and refining gods, and collecting information on immortals, demons, and human worlds.

Elder Lude is responsible for the evaluation of the character and merit of the disciples of Shushan, making suggestions on rewards and punishments, and managing the daily administrative affairs of Shushan.

The other elders do not have specific positions and responsibilities, and some do not live in Shushan, but travel abroad.

Some of the Shushan disciples led by Shouzhong, in addition to the disciples who subdued demons and subdued demons, there were also disciples who inquired about the news.

And the disciples of Shushan, collecting intelligence are naturally different from people, they directly use spells to explore.

All kinds of magical spells, tracking, soul chasing, thousands of miles of silk drawing, lovesickness and so on.

In the past, they used magic to find clues.

After this became the norm, they also formed a dependence on magic. And when this spell didn't work, they were helpless and helpless.

Until the arrival of Ji Zhen.

was arranged by the elder Ji Zhen to go out to find out the news, and the news they got was completely different from what they originally guessed.

"Elder, we investigated. Twenty years ago, before Zheng Danyan was still studying and gaining fame, the Zheng family was completely a poor family. ”

"At that time, in order to provide Zheng Danyan with education, the Zheng family almost sold Zheng Danyan's sister."

But later, Zheng Danyan's home suddenly had an extra woman. When the neighbors of the Zheng family asked who the woman was, Zheng's mother said that the woman was Zheng Danyan's wife. ”

At that time, the neighbors were curious, but they were also very envious of Zheng Danyan. The reason why I am curious is because this woman's origin is very peculiar, as if she appeared out of thin air, and then she became Zheng Danyan's wife, and she didn't even do a celebration ceremony. ”

"And the reason for envy is that woman, Zheng Danyan's wife is very beautiful, bright and moving, not to mention sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, but it is almost the same."

"What's even more commendable is that his wife is virtuous and wise, very filial, and thoughtful in serving Zheng's father and Zheng's mother."

Then, the Zheng family slowly made a fortune. Listening to them, the current Zheng family's courtyard was still purchased by Zheng Danyan's wife twenty years ago. ”

When Ji Zhen heard this, he rubbed his chin and nodded affirmatively in his heart, he had found that the courtyard was a bit old before.

"Wait, the Zheng family has made a fortune? How did you make your fortune? ”

Ji Zhen's question stunned the Shushan disciple who told the story, and the other party touched the back of his head and thought about it, but his face was still blank.

At this time, another Shushan disciple who inquired about the news took over the question.

"I inquired, Zheng Danyan concentrated on studying at home to gain fame in the exam. And Zheng's father and Zheng's mother were waiting for Zheng Danyan at home. The family's fortune depended on the wife to collect mussels on the beach and make money from them. ”

Later, after the Zheng family's yard was built, they raised mussels at home. It is also strange to say that the pearls produced by the Zheng family are the best in terms of quality and condition. ”

"In this way, the Zheng family became richer and richer, and then Zheng Danyan also gained fame."

Speaking of which, Ji Zhen seems to already know the plot behind him.

He continued.

"Could it be that after Zheng Danyan won the fame, his wife disappeared?"

The disciples of Shushan were all stunned.

The person who was about to say this was also stunned, and then nodded and said, "Yes, Zheng Danyan's wife is gone." ”

"After Zheng Danyan became an official in Chang'an, he married the official lady of Chang'an and settled in Chang'an."

Shouzhong asked, "Elder, how do you know?" ”

Ji Zhen pursed his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: If you watch enough movies, television, and online articles, the development of things can be almost predicted.

"From this point of view, Zheng Danyan's wife should be a demon, and it is very likely that it is a snake demon."

"And after Zheng Danyan took the district fame, he dumped his wife, and then started a family with the young lady of Chang'an."

"So, the snake demon took revenge and arrested Zheng Danyan."

Ji Zhen is so rational in his heart, but there are also some doubts in it.

"Why does the snake demon want to help Zheng Danyan's family?"

"What happened to the basilisk twenty years ago? A human throws off a demon, but the demon will not give up. ”

"Why did the snake demon capture Zheng Danyan after twenty years?"

"Or maybe none of this is the Basilisk's doing?"

All this is just his speculation, and he doesn't know what the real situation is.

"However, Zheng's father and Zheng's mother should know some inside stories."

Shouzhong saw that Ji Zhen fell into deep thought again, and it was not easy to disturb, and when Ji Zhen finally came back to his senses, he asked.

"Elder, what should we do now?"

Ji Zhen looked at Shouzhong and said, "It's getting late now, you all rest!" I'll talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

···

Following.

Everyone got up, washed up, and gathered on the first floor of the inn.

"Now it seems that the two elders of the Zheng family are hiding a lot of things. You go to your door again today and tell them what you have investigated. ”

"If they don't say it, you will take out the fact that Zheng Danyan's wife was a demon back then, and I believe the other party will speak."

Shouzhong nodded, and was about to step forward, but immediately stopped again, "Elder, let's go to the Zheng family, what about you?" ”

Ji Zhen stretched his waist, stretched his hands together, looked up at the sun, and said, "I'll go find that snake demon!" ”

Shou Zhong asked in surprise, "Elder, do you already know where that snake demon is?" ”

"Where is it so easy!" Ji Zhen shook his head, "It's just that since the Zheng family's pattern is arranged by the snake demon, it also reveals traces of the dotted array method." ”

"I can't say that the snake demon also used the formation to cover up his hiding place, so there is no way to track it with various tracking spells."

Syllable!

Shouzhong's right hand fist was imprinted on the palm of his left hand, "Makes sense!" ”

"So, I'll look for it, I can still distinguish the traces of the formation."

In this way, the disciples led by Ji Zhen and Shouzhong parted ways.

Yuhang Town is close to the sea on three sides, only the northwest is connected to the inland part, Ji Zhen used the shadow escape technique to explore the inland part, but did not find the slightest find.

Finally, Ji Zhen set his sights on the sea.

"Could it be that this is a water snake?"

Above the water, the shadow escape technique was not easy to play, so Ji Zhen chose a boat and set off to the east.
