It was pitch black in the jungle of Luoma Mountain, and Gongsun Shengyan was afraid that the horse would lose its front hooves and fall into the mountain stream, so he could only come down and lead the horse deep and shallow through the forest. His intuition told him that he couldn't go to the official road, let alone the waterway, so he could only walk and hide in the mountains, but he didn't have a plan for where he was going. Before dark, he was still a rich boy with fine clothes and fine food, but now he is so depressed that he can't even compare to a common man who can eat hot rice and drink warm tea. Gongsun Shengyan didn't know how long he had walked, and gradually found that he had lost his direction, and the mountains were deep and dense, and he tried to look around, but he couldn't distinguish anything. If he goes on like this until dawn, he may not be able to find a way to escape, and in the worse case, he will go back to the way he came, which is not a self-defeating net. Gongsun Shengyan thought about it and decided to lead the horse to a high place first, waiting for his vision to open up, and then make a decision on what to do.

The road up the mountain is even more difficult, Luoma Mountain has always been walked around by people all these years, except for hunters and medicine farmers, who is willing to roam around the mountains with weeds and poisonous insects, not to mention that there are rumors that there are jumping corpses in the mountains, which scares some timid people so much that their legs tremble just by approaching. Gongsun Shengyan doesn't believe these rumors very much, people die like lights out, he would rather the corpse can jump, and even speak, in this way, you can also ask the dead Gongsun Guangxiao, who killed him and Yusheng, and then planted the blame on himself. I don't know how long I left, Gongsun Shengyan heard the sound of a stream of water, and then he felt that after he left Zhou Xue, he didn't drink a sip of water, and now his throat and eyes are like a chimney in the kitchen when cooking, burning with fire.

Gongsun Shengyan led the horse to find the water source along the sound, and found that not far away was a cliff that was more than seven or eight feet high, and because the sky was dark, he couldn't see anything clearly, and the water rushed down the mountain from the mountain, and then turned a corner under his feet, and fell straight down from the cliff. Gongsun Shengyan carefully saw the flow of water in front of him, found a place where there were no fallen leaves behind a large bluestone, put the reins by his side, bent down and washed his hands habitually, and then picked up the stream water and drank it in a big gulp.

The horses on the side suddenly became agitated, and kept kicking the ground with their hooves, their heads swaying from side to side in the darkness, and the reins rattled. Gongsun Shengyan felt strange in his heart, stood up and wiped his hands behind him, grabbed the reins, and then kept stroking the horse's mane to try to calm it down. He wasn't sure if there were any pursuers from the Gongsun family behind him, and it was obviously not a good thing to make such a big disturbance in the quiet mountain forest. But the horse became more and more panicked, and finally let out a long roar, left Gongsun Shengyan on the side, and ran quickly towards the road from which he came.

"Hehe, it's a good horse. There was a sharp voice not far from the darkness, sounding like a human but not a ghost, Gongsun Shengyan felt a chill running through his heart from the top of his head, and he couldn't control several spirits.

"Who is it?" Gongsun Shengyan asked loudly as he took a few steps back, holding on to a tree beside his hand.

"Sending off the passers-by. The owner of the shrill voice no longer hiding, stepped on the dead branches and leaves from the forest to the opposite side not far from him, and giggled and sneered.

Gongsun Shengyan looked at the other party vigilantly, after the other party finished speaking, he stopped making a sound, and took out a thing from the wide robe, with the words in his mouth, Gongsun Shengyan found that this thing was like a gnast cage, but it was only half the size of the cicada cage, floating in mid-air The color kept changing, and finally turned into a strange purple, as if there were water waves flowing on the surface, and the person who came was really the ghost cultivator Yang Fang. Gongsun Shengyan felt that the situation was not good, and the send-off person seemed to be sending him to the underworld, so he ran away, and just took a step away, a shadow shot out of the gnat's cage, blocking his way.

In this boundless mountain forest, the shadow that emerged from the gnats cage flew in the air, coming and going freely, and it was impossible to escape from its front at all. Gongsun Shengyan faced this strange thing, and the courage to survive overcame fear. The person who came was unceremonious, his tone was cold, this shadow looked also gloomy and terrifying, he had no grievances with them, he had never seen them at all, I am afraid that they had a direct relationship with the death of Gongsun Guangxiao, and the purpose was also to assassinate himself. What should I do, Gongsun Shengyan glanced at the high cliff not far from him from the corner of his eye, is it a mountain forest below, is it a waterhole, or is it an abrupt rock? He didn't know, but the situation in front of him forced him to fight.

"Yusheng, aren't you dead!" Gongsun Shengyan shouted to the side and back of the visitor.

Yang Fang heard him shout Yu Sheng's name, and he was puzzled, Yu Sheng had died in front of him the day before yesterday, and he was so cold that he was really wronged, and he actually escaped his own detection? They all said that they would meet ghosts if they walked too much at night, Yang Fang didn't dare to be careless at the moment, he would rather believe it than believe it, so he turned around and looked behind the side. Behind him there are only black shrubs and weeds, and then there are tall trees that grow into the sky.

"Rabbit cub, dare to play tricks in front of me. Yang Fang cursed in his heart, turned his head back, but saw Gongsun Shengyan turn around again and rush straight towards the high cliff.

"Death will also die in my hands!" Yang Fang shouted angrily, and the black shadow behind Gongsun Shengyan instantly turned into a blue skeleton, rushing towards his back heart at an extremely fast speed. Gongsun Shengyan didn't have time to look back, seeing that there was still a few steps away from the high cliff, a piercing chill behind him came straight to him, he simply changed direction suddenly, and then stepped on the ground with both feet, bent his knees slightly, and then the whole person jumped forward, and fell down against the high cliff regardless of it.

Yang Fang was determined to take Gongsun Shengyan's life, and the blue skull in the air was chasing unabated, and he was about to pierce into the back of Gongsun Shengyan's heart, when suddenly the golden light flashed behind Gongsun Shengyan's head, and a point of light the size of a firefly burst out from the tips of his flying hair, and hit the pursuing skull without dodging. The moment it touched, the blue skull was like a vase shot by a projectile, and it shattered into countless pieces, and then there was a heart-rending cry, and the skulls began to melt in the air, turning into bright blue smoke that rose in the air. With the force generated by the impact, Gongsun Shengyan lost his balance in the air and tumbled down the cliff.

Yang Fang originally thought that Gongsun Shengyan was an ordinary person, what was the difference between killing him and killing a caged chicken, but he didn't expect that there would be a remnant soul behind his head to protect him, and this remnant soul was so domineering that it was too late to retract the spell again, so he could only watch the golden remnant soul collide with the ghost head he raised, and then suffered the backlash of the spell, not to mention the blood spit all over his chest, and his soul power also suffered a strong blow. He was originally just a low-level little ghost cultivator, and for decades he was looking for opportunities to cultivate magic weapons to refine his soul, flattering him in the gang, and finally made a small achievement in magic, this ghost head is what he relies on the most, and he cherishes the most. Now under the blow, it has been wiped out, and all the efforts that have been made have been in vain. Yang Fang felt that the sky was dark, and he was unsteady on his feet, clutching his chest, and stumbled and fainted in the bushes.

Gongsun's family continued to investigate Gongsun Shengyan's escape until dawn. The two guards naturally couldn't escape punishment, they had already been tied up at the moment, kneeling in front of Gongsun Guangxiao's corpse, their faces were swollen high, their hair was messy and their faces were dead, they knew at a glance that they had suffered a lot, Gongsun Shengqiu was really a vicious person, although all this was in his plan, but when he needed to act with all his heart, he would never keep a trace, so that outsiders would look like a person who fell into grief and rage after his cousin fled because his family was assassinated, but he tried to keep his sanity。 Gongsun Shenghua's situation is slightly better, because everyone knows his style on weekdays, he doesn't fight or grab, he just buries his head in playing with himself, plus he has always had a good relationship with his cousin Gongsun Shengqiu, so he was not tied up, but like the two family members, he knelt in front of Gongsun Guangxiao's corpse and didn't dare to raise his head.

The whole thing was already clear after the three of them dictated separately, and even the stables were called in to confront them. Gongsun Shengqiu didn't want to do anything to Gongsun Shenghua in the plan, he wanted to use this matter, first, to block the way for Gongsun Shengyan to justify himself, second, to catch Gongsun Shenghua's sore feet, so that he had to support himself to become the young head of the family, and third, let all the people of the Gongsun family see that he, as a candidate for the young head of the family with the age, has both the decision to kill and the brotherhood. Gongsun Shengqiu sat on the back chair in the middle of the room, looking at the three people kneeling in front of him, showing an indisputable expression of lamenting his misfortune and anger.

"Since Gongsun Shengyan was let go by you, and the people sent out to chase him also returned empty-handed, the ins and outs of this matter, everyone must be able to understand it after a little thought. Although the second grandfather is dead, it is clear that the real murderer did not take long to show his feet. I don't think you have any bad intentions, but because you were blinded by your brother's feelings and did something stupid on impulse, I won't pursue it anymore. This is originally a family ugly, where it starts and ends, but during this time, you can't leave Gongsun's house for half a step, so as to reflect on what you have done. As for the two of you," Gongsun Shengqiu tilted his head slightly to look at the two family members kneeling on the ground, "Go back where you came from, I don't want to see you again." After eating breakfast, I went to the account office to settle the money, and it had nothing to do with the Gongsun family. But there is one thing you have to remember for me, the affairs of the Gongsun family are always family affairs, and you did not take good care of the suspect and let go of the suspect, and you originally wanted to see the official. Because of the relationship between my cousin Gongsun Shenghua, I will no longer pursue the two of you, but if after leaving Gongsun's house, if there are rumors about this matter outside, then Hugh will blame me for bringing up the old matter again and not being emotional. ”

The two of them hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Gongsun Shengqiu to thank them, this result was obviously the best result for the two of them, and there was still a salary to settle, they thanked them a lot, until they cried from the bottom of their hearts, Gongsun Shengqiu stopped the two, let them get up and change into clean clothes, and prepare for the rest of the matter of leaving Gongsun's house. The two family members kowtowed again and thanked each other, and then turned around and left.

The family of the Gongsun family watched all this from beginning to end, and felt from the bottom of their hearts that Gongsun Shengqiu was really a descendant who could take on the big role, and the balance in his heart began to tilt unconsciously, and at the beginning some people who still pitied Gongsun Shengyan and stood on the side of Gongsun Shengyan but were not easy to speak, now they all began to believe in Gongsun Shengqiu. Originally, the Gongsun family was the head of the family one person is better than a hundred people, over the years everyone has been accustomed to this rule, many things are not willing to think carefully, just need to obey the order to execute, now the two heads of the family have passed away one after another, for a time the dragon has no leader, and it seems that a huge family is about to become a plate of loose sand. Gongsun Shengqiu turned the tide and fell, supported the building to collapse, did things decisively and comprehensively, and maintained the prestige of the family all the time, which was better than Gongsun Shengyan, who absconded guiltily.

Not long after the family dispersed, the sky began to brighten. Gongsun Shengqiu didn't wait for Yang Fang's reply, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart. With Yang Fang's ability, it is naturally not a problem to kill a Gongsun Shengyan. The real purpose of letting Gongsun Shengyan go is to take his life on his way to escape, so as to prevent future troubles. Gongsun Shengqiu couldn't sleep, made a pot of strong tea, and sat in the room while drinking it while thinking about what was next. The first task is to bury Gongsun Guangxiao, speaking of which, Gongsun Guangxiao also loves himself in every way, and this decision is really forced by the situation. "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves", Gongsun Shengqiu said heavily to himself in his heart, no longer thinking about what is right or wrong, only hoping to get Yang Fang's news as soon as possible after dark.

The news of Gongsun Guangxiao's death became a taboo that no one could mention to each other face to face at the request of Gongsun Shengqiu, at least until Gongsun Shengyan was caught, this was a family minefield. Everyone unanimously did not take the initiative to mention it, only when people asked, they announced that because of the death of the old lady, Gongsun Guangxiao, as the head of the family, was too sad, and suddenly fell seriously ill when he slept in the middle of the night. Gongsun Shengqiu has always emphasized that the funeral should be resolved quickly, and hundreds of people in the Gongsun family have to eat and live, and two major funerals have been arranged in less than 20 days, I am afraid that there will be major losses in business, and Gongsun Guangxiao's remains cannot be seen, so it is inconvenient to notify relatives and friends to mourn. Speaking of Gongsun Guangxiao's remains, it really makes people shudder, his eyes are round, his eyelids can't be put down, his face was cut horizontally, half of his nose has been dropped, and a black hole is left, and the skin and flesh of the protruding cheekbones are turned out like the lips of a buffalo, revealing red, white and white bones, and all the family members who see it can't help but cry again and again.

Yusheng's body, as a domestic slave, was originally not qualified to be buried under the same day, but because the two died miserably, the master and servant could be more or less a companion on Huangquan Road, and in this way, Yusheng's body was returned to his family, which would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary right and wrong, so Gongsun Shengqiu and Gongsun Guangshun discussed a little, and buried it with Gongsun Guangxiao's body, and gave Yusheng's family a lot of pensions. Yusheng's family saw that Gongsun's family was generous and kind-hearted, and people could not be resurrected after death, so they took the silver money and no longer asked for Yusheng's body, but thought that being able to bury Yusheng in the grave of Gongsun's family was the yin virtue he cultivated in his previous life.
