Genealogy is a genealogy used by a family to record the reproduction of the patrilineal family lineage and the deeds of important people in the surname clan, so the characters recorded in the genealogy are all men who have been passed down from generation to generation in the family, and the woman's name is not in it, so when Wu Zhiyuan opened this Dong family tree and did not see Dong Qian's name, he did not feel strange, but when he turned the pedigree to the last page of the record, he was taken aback.

I saw that the last page of the most beautiful one read, "Dong Qingqiu, the thirty-sixth grandson of the Dong family, died in the nineteenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty"!

Dong Qingqiu died as early as the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty? But he asked around in Qixia County about the location of Dong Qingqiu's mansion, and it turned out that he was looking for a person who had been dead for more than a hundred years!

Wu Zhiyuan always thought that Dong Qingqiu was a descendant of the Dong family and a modern person living in the Republic of China, but he never thought that he was a person who had been dead for more than a hundred years, so it seems that this Dong Qingqiu is very likely to be Dong Qian's father.

Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, he repeatedly recalled the process before and after, and remembered that it was the two male ghosts in white who told him to come to Dong Qingqiu first, and those two male ghosts in white were most likely the two brothers Wu Zheng and Wu Xie, the ancestors of the Wu family, so it seems that it is easier to explain, the ancestors of the Wu family also returned to the land a hundred years ago, and it is not an exaggeration that they only know the name of Dong Qian's father.

But now judging from the records of this genealogy, the Dong family has been broken in Dong Qingqiu's generation, which means that this Dong house has been abandoned for more than 100 years, since the Dong family has no descendants, some mysteries are difficult to explain, such as whether the middle-aged woman is a human or a ghost, and what is her identity?

Wu Zhiyuan stuffed the Dong family tree into his pocket, and at the same time felt a lot lighter, at least Dong Qian's family was found right, it didn't matter if he could find the ancestral grave of the Dong family, Wu Zhiyuan wanted to bury Dong Qian's bones in the courtyard of the Dong house, after all, this is where Dong Qian grew up.

But before that, he wanted to confirm the identity of the middle-aged woman first, so he walked out of Dong's house and returned the way he came.

Walking to the bluestone where the old woman had sit, Wu Zhiyuan stopped, at this time there was still no one on the bluestone, and the old woman didn't know where to go. Wu Zhiyuan remembered that the old woman leaned against the wall and turned into an alley next to the bluestone, and secretly thought that the alley might be where she lived.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan turned into the narrow alley without hesitation.

This alley is extremely narrow, only allowing two people to pass side by side, but it is very long, and there are high walls about one and a half zhang high on both sides.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't like this feeling, quickened his pace, and when he reached the end of the alley, a low gatehouse appeared in front of him, and under the gatehouse was a tattered fence gate, which was woven with wicker and peach branches, and looked very unsturdy.

Looking back at this alley, Wu Zhiyuan didn't find any other gatehouses, thinking that this was the old woman's residence, so he didn't hesitate to gently tap the fence door a few times, and asked loudly: "Is there anyone?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan waited for a while, but no one answered, so he gently pushed open the fence gate and walked in.

Inside the door is a small courtyard, the courtyard is not big, but it is very clean, and it can be seen that the owner is a person who likes to be tidy. Wu Zhiyuan walked through the courtyard and walked directly to the house, the door of the house was open, and he walked directly into the house.

This house is a low thatched house, the space inside is not large, and the light is not very bright, as soon as Wu Zhiyuan stepped into the house, his eyes were a little uncomfortable because of the alternation of light and dark, and when he just adapted to the dim light in the house, he was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him.

I saw a black lacquered coffin in the middle of the room in the east and west directions, and on each side of the coffin was a boy and girl with paper ties, both of whom had red faces, and their eyes looked directly at Wu Zhiyuan who was standing at the door, and there was an indescribable weirdness.

Wu Zhiyuan also knows a little about the rules of the paper people, he has seen the old man in Wujia Village die, and there will be sparks in front of the paper boys and girls in front of his grave, but after the paper people are tied, before they are given to the buyer, all of them are sealed eyes, and now Wu Zhiyuan sees that the two paper boys and girls are not sealed, indicating that they have their own masters, and this master is undoubtedly lying in this coffin.

"Could it be that the old woman is dead?" Such a thought flashed through Wu Zhiyuan's mind, no wonder he didn't see her during the day today. But when I think about it, this thing is also a little too bizarre, last night I saw her sitting on the bluestone at the end of the alley, and it only took one night to return to the underworld, could it be that something strange happened to her last night?

Wu Zhiyuan looked around the house and found nothing unusual. Now that the old woman has passed away, the clue on her side is broken, Wu Zhiyuan didn't want to disturb the peace of a deceased, so he bowed down to the coffin and bowed a few times, turned around and exited the house, and closed the door of the house with his hand.

The old woman passed away, and the only remaining clue was the Taoist priest, but Wu Zhiyuan didn't plan to investigate it again, first, he couldn't find the Taoist priest at all, and he didn't know where he was cultivating at all, and second, he didn't want to go to the Taoist priest, he tossed the Taoist priest into that appearance, and then sent it to the door, which was undoubtedly self-defeating, and looking at the Taoist priest's appearance, he knew that he was not a good stubble.

However, there is one thing that Wu Zhiyuan has almost determined, that is, he was too reckless and misunderstood the Taoist priest. If he meets him again in the future, Wu Zhiyuan really doesn't know how to apologize.

What we have to do now is to return to Dong's house and bury Dong Qian's bones, and then consider whether to go back to Wujia Village first or go directly to Yonghe Yizhuang to find the god of Ceres, who is known as the "Beggar King". Thinking of the name of Yonghe Yizhuang, Wu Zhiyuan has always felt very familiar, and he always has the feeling that he has been to that place, but he really can't remember it for a while.

"Don't think about this for now, go and do what is in front of you." Wu Zhiyuan thought like this, when the time comes, he can inquire about the location of Yonghe Yizhuang, which is more effective than thinking about it himself.

Wu Zhiyuan bought a shovel in the bazaar, and when he passed by the paper shop, he remembered that Dong Qian was alone, and he suddenly felt compassion, and wanted to buy her a few boys and girls, and he could also serve her in the underworld, so he entered the door of the paper shop.

As soon as Wu Zhiyuan entered the door, he saw a pair of boys and girls who were rushing to the door very realistically, although their eyes were sealed, their faces looked much kinder than those in the old woman's family, so he pointed to the pair of paper boys and girls, and was about to ask the price.

"I don't want it, it's so ugly!" Before Wu Zhiyuan could speak to the shopkeeper, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Wu Zhiyuan was suddenly stunned, and his hand stretched out and retracted.

"Are you ......" Wu Zhiyuan felt that the voice was as thin as a filament, but as if he was deliberately speaking in his ear, he heard it very clearly, and he couldn't help but ask.

The boss on the side saw that Wu Zhiyuan's speech was a little abnormal, and cast a cautious look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Zhiyuan finished asking, the voice in his ears disappeared, and there was no response, he stood for a moment, secretly thinking that maybe it was his own temporary auditory hallucination, so he shook his head and asked the boss again.

This time, Wu Zhiyuan's ears didn't hear any strange sounds, the boss gave the price, Wu Zhiyuan took out a handful of ocean, and said to the boss: "The rest are all bought with dark coins." ”

As soon as Wu Zhiyuan spoke, the boss suddenly stared at the young man in front of him in surprise with huge eyes, and after a while, he reacted, nodded in agreement, and then turned around and ordered the man to move all the coins hoarded in the back room to the cart outside.

The two guys were busy for a while, and Wu Zhiyuan saw that the ocean bought a pair of boys and girls, plus a large cart of dark coins. The boss saw that it was a big customer, so he ordered one of the guys to push the cart and deliver goods to Wu Zhiyuan.

Wu Zhiyuan walked lightly in front, the guy walked in the back, and the two walked west along the street one after the other.

"Uncle, are you going over there?" When he arrived at the mouth of the alley where the old woman was, the guy put down the cart and asked with sweat.

"Yes, send it to Dong Qingqiu's mansion in the west of the street." Wu Zhiyuan replied without concealment.

"Uncle, don't, I'll send it here, you better push the rest of the way yourself." The guy couldn't help but say when he heard this, put down his pick and turned to leave. For him, this was originally an extra job ordered by his boss, and it was okay to fool around.

Wu Zhiyuan knew that the other party would react like this, in fact, he also deliberately said that he would send it to Dong Qingqiu's mansion.

"Little brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, look at this." Wu Zhiyuan said, there was an extra piece of ocean in his hand, and when he blew it his mouth, the ocean made a subtle "clanging" sound, which showed that this ocean was a veritable genuine product.

Seeing this, the guy immediately smiled, ran back in three steps and two steps, and was just about to reach out to pick up the ocean in Wu Zhiyuan's hand, when his smiling face suddenly dimmed.

"Uncle, it's not that the little ones don't love money, it's just that the little ones love life more. I'd like to send you this truckload too, but ......," the guy said, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Just what?" Wu Zhiyuan walked to the bluestone where the old woman had sat and sat down, and asked with a smile.

"It's just that the place you said, the small ones really don't dare to go." The guy replied embarrassedly.

"Why don't you dare to go? Is it haunted? Wu Zhiyuan asked knowingly, just to find out more local rumors about the Dong family's mansion.

"Uncle, you're really right, that Dong Mansion, it's ...... It's indeed haunted, and ......," the guy said, stopping abruptly.

"And what? If you have anything, just say it, don't spit out. Wu Zhiyuan said, and took out a piece of ocean from his arms, and the guy's eyes suddenly lit up again.

"And that place is not only haunted, I heard that there are youkai living there!" The guy lowered his voice and said to the root of Wu Zhiyuan's ear.

"Youkai? What youkai? Wu Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and continued to ask.

The guy looked around and saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he leaned into Wu Zhiyuan's ear and whispered.
