At this time, Yan Xiaotian spoke: "There is a way, the third elder has a bad heart, don't scare him." ”

Of course, he didn't really care about Old Man Wei when he said this, he was completely ridiculing.

I didn't respond to Yan Xiaotian, I just put the Qinggang sword back into its scabbard, and then said to Old Man Wei: "Say, tell us about Zhao Dekai's situation." I think it's a five- or six-hour drive from here to your destination. If I find that you have nothing to say along the way, or if you don't have any useful information in your words, you should get out of the car. Alright, let's get started. ”

After I finished speaking, Old Man Wei stared at me in such a daze, and his eyes were like seeing a demon.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, I made an impatient look and reached for the doorknob again.

Old man Wei was frightened, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block me, and then said to himself.

In fact, the old master's investigation of Zhao Dekai has been very thorough, and a large part of the information provided to us by the old man Wei coincides with the old master's investigation results.

But there are a few things that the old master did not investigate.

Old man Wei said that Zhao Dekai actually established a small group called "Tianmingtan" ten years ago, when this small group was first established, it was actually used to do Taoist exchanges, and Zhao Dekai at that time did not have such great ambitions, he established this group completely to make some friends in the industry and expand contacts for Baiwu Mountain.

The original members of this small group were Zhao Dekai and Jiang Bin, with the later development, the small group became a large group, and the large group became a sect, and five years ago, with the addition of Di Guangtong, Zhao Dekai's sect began to accept a large number of people outside the industry, and it was from that year that Zhao Dekai's ambitions began to swell.

Before the old master said that Zhao Dekai had two helpers by his side, one was Di Guangtong and the other was Jiang Bin.

But Old Man Wei said that Di Guangtong and Jiang Bin were not Zhao Dekai's helpers, and the three of them were just using each other.

Zhao Dekai's real helper is a man named Yi Qingping, who is not well-known in the industry, but he is very capable. Old man Wei said that since he was born, he has only seen two people who can compete with the Yin soldiers, one is me, and the other is Yi Qingping in his mouth.

I was able to do this, to put it bluntly, thanks to the blessing of the Black Water Corpse Coffin, not entirely by my own cultivation. If Yi Qingping didn't have such an evil spirit-warding holy object on his body, and completely relied on his own strength to grab the way with the Yin soldiers, then his cultivation would definitely not be comparable to me at that time.

Old man Wei said that Yi Qingping not only cultivated well, but also knew a lot of evil sect techniques that he had never seen before. He can even take away the life of a young man, and in a breath he can turn a teenager into an old man.

I asked Old Man Wei if he had been affected by Yi Qingping's technique, and Old Man Wei nodded and admitted, but he also said that because of the special physique of their Wei family, he was not affected much.

In addition to Yi Qingping, Zhao Dekai has been able to mix well in the past two years, and because he got a treasure, Old Man Wei has never seen that treasure, but he just said that it is a thing with a lot of yin energy.

I speculate that Zhao Dekai's treasure should be the yin jade I found in Baiwu Mountain.

At the beginning, I was worried that Zhao Dekai would find out that the Yin Jade had been stolen, and he put the Yin Jade in such a dilapidated warehouse, I thought that the Yin Jade would not mean much to him, and later I did everything possible to hand over the Yin Jade to Yan Xiaotian and let him put it back in the warehouse.

But when I heard Old Man Wei's words at this time, I regretted it a little.

For several hours of driving, Old Man Wei had been talking constantly, and by the last hour of the journey, he had begun to repeat the information he had said before, and I knew that he had told us everything he knew.

I asked him how much he knew about the Cao family's situation.

Old man Wei said that the Cao family is the strangest branch of the various clans of the Council of Elders, and the other clans are all headed by the head of the family as the elder, but the elder seat of the Cao family is sat by the second master. But this is also something that can't be helped, the head of the Cao family disappeared ten years ago, and there has been no news so far.

Although the second head of the Cao family now manages all the things up and down the Cao family, in terms of rules, he should not be in charge, and before the next head of the Cao family is elected, the affairs of the Cao family should be managed by the eldest wife, that is, the wife of the old family owner.

It's just that the eldest wife of the Cao family has been looking for the whereabouts of the old family owner over the years, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the Cao family.

I then asked about the situation of the eldest wife of the Cao family.

Old man Wei said that the eldest lady of the Cao family is over eighty years old this year, and she was also the daughter of a local Haoqiang family in her early years.

Although the eldest lady is old now, her temperament has not changed for many years, and she is still a heroine among women, and her words in the Cao family are very weighty.

Over the years, the reason why the Cao family has not elected the next head of the family is also because Taida has always believed that the old head of the family is still alive, although the choice of the head of the family is a matter for the elders of all ethnic groups of the Cao family, and it has nothing to do with the eldest lady herself, but as long as she does not let go, no one dares to make a mistake.

In addition, the old man Wei also said that although the eldest lady of the Cao family was brave and ruthless when she was young, she was also a well-informed and knowledgeable person, and even some old people up and down Baiwu Mountain also respected this woman very much.

Regarding this point, Old Man Wei and the old master said the same, and the old master also said that the reason why I asked me to find the eldest lady of the Cao family is because this eldest lady is a person who can focus on the overall situation.

I asked Old Man Wei how to enter the Cao family, Old Man Wei seemed a little embarrassed, he said that although these clans are under the name of Baiwu Mountain, but the family is not under the jurisdiction of Baiwu Mountain, so well, each family has its own rules, he doesn't know what the rules of the Cao family are, of course, people don't know how to enter the door of the Cao family.

I asked him, "Haven't you been to Cao's house before?" ”

Old man Wei was probably afraid that I would throw him out of the car, and he looked a little trembling: "I've been there, but the Cao family invited me to go." In normal times, we clans never move around each other. ”

In fact, I can hear from Old Man Wei's words that the gate of the Cao family doesn't seem to be so easy to enter.

I thought about it for a while, and asked him again, "Do you know where the Cao family is?" Where is the eldest lady's bedroom in the Cao family? ”

When I generally mention words like "family" and "clan", I always think that the place where they live should be a big house, with a plaque hanging at the door, which reads "a certain house" or "a certain house", two stone lions at the entrance of the town, the entrance is a patio, the side rooms on both sides, the front is the lobby, and there is a back door and backyard at the end of the house, three in and three out.

But the old man Wei said that this is not the case, how can there be that kind of house in these years, even if there is, it has become a cultural relic and has been protected, and the clansmen in their families do live together, but they live in apartment buildings.

The richer clans will buy their own land, build real estate, and leave one of the buildings for their own family use, and those with poor economic strength can only buy buildings built by others, and the location and location will not be too good.

In their clans, such a building is called a "clan building".

The old Cao family's family building is near a coal factory on the outskirts of the city, the building was purchased after the disappearance of the old owner, small property rights, the whole community is just one building, five units, and all the people living in it are the Cao family.

Since the entire community belonged to their Cao family, they simply started the property by themselves, and the gate was guarded by their own children.

Old man Wei said so much, in fact, he was still reminding me that the gate of the Wei family is not said to be able to enter if you enter.

I asked him so much about the Cao family, and he probably knew what I was going to do.

I asked him again, where the eldest wife of the Cao family lives in the community, and the old man Wei said that according to the rules of the Cao family, the eldest lady's house must be on the top floor, but the eldest lady is inconvenient to go up and down the stairs because of her age.

The Cao family's small property rights buildings are all capped with six floors, and there was originally no elevator.

Old man Wei said that as long as I find a unit with an elevator, I can find the eldest wife.

I wondered, so I asked him, don't you remember the last time I went to that unit?

Old man Wei looked a little embarrassed: "According to the rules of the Cao family, I was blindfolded before I entered the door of that unit. If I hadn't left Cao's house and glanced out of the corridor window, I wouldn't have known that there was a coal yard near Lao Cao's house. ”

It seems that among the major clans in Baiwu Mountain, they are also wary of each other.

I nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this time, the car had not stopped, and Old Man Wei had been talking for several hours, his voice was already a little hoarse, and he saw that I didn't pay attention to him, so he stopped talking.

But I could feel that he had been looking at me with very wary eyes, and if I had looked at him at this time, he would probably have to open his mouth again obediently.

I ignored him, and while he really didn't have any use for me, I couldn't really push him out of the car.

However, after coming into contact with this Baiwushan Third Elder for a period of time, I feel more and more that if every elder is like him, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and he is insatiable, even if there is no Zhao Dekai, Baiwushan will be doomed.

After about half an hour, Yan Xiaotian drove the car to the city where the company was located.

When entering the city, Yan Xiaotian, who had not spoken all the way, glanced at Old Man Wei from the rearview mirror and asked, "Third Elder, are you planning to follow us, or are you going somewhere else?" If you go somewhere else, I'll give you a ride. ”

Old man Wei also understood now that Yan Xiaotian seemed to be respectful to him, but in fact he was in the same group as me, so he hurriedly waved his hand at Yan Xiaotian: "Don't don't, don't leave me alone." I'm ...... now I have nowhere to go now, and Zhao Dekai is still looking for me everywhere! ”

Yan Xiaotian raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you have nowhere to go, the huge Wei family, isn't it all yours alone?" ”

Hearing this, Old Man Wei unexpectedly showed a rare expression of helplessness, but he just sighed and didn't say anything.

Yan Xiaotian's eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror, and his eyes were a little dim.

In fact, I really want to say to Old Man Wei, your Wei family can become what it is now, not because of you. But I finally held back and didn't say anything.
