In front of the warm invitation of Kong Fengling, the eldest young master of the Kong family, Li Weitian refused: "When you come to your land, you should take the initiative to visit the master's house." However, I have come today to listen to the teachings of my ancestors, and I dare not delay my ancestors' time. Therefore, next time the time is right, I will pay an official visit to the Confucian Mansion in person. ”

Kong Fengling smiled, and didn't seem to mind this at all, "Since that's the case, then I won't delay you." Young Master Li, see you later. ”

After saying that, he politely led the people away.

When he was far away, the person next to him said dissatisfiedly: "Young Master, Li Weitian is too ignorant!" When he came to the territory of our Kong family, the eldest young master of the Kong family refused to invite him to a cup of tea, completely refusing to give us face as the master! ”

Before Kong Fengling could speak, Kong Yunxiang on the side shouted: "The heart of the head of the Wei family, do you dare to talk about it behind your back!" If the Wei family knows, our Kong family will not be able to eat and walk around! ”

The man pursed his lips, but Kong Fengling glanced at him, and he didn't speak again.

Glancing at Kong Yunxiang, Kong Fengling's face still seemed to be gentle, "My brother is more worried about the safety of the Kong family than me, the eldest young master of the Kong family." ”

Kong Yunxiang's originally expressionless face finally had a trace of fluctuation, "Li Weitian is not a person who can move the Kong family, don't mess around." Today's Kong family can't withstand any blows! ”

The smile on Kong Fengxiang's face slowly receded, "It's the conservative thinking of you and your father that has made the Kong family tepid for so many years!" The Kong family needs a chance not to break or stand! ”

He turned his head to a young man in black with an inconspicuous appearance who was following them, and said, "Go, follow Li Weitian and see what he is doing here." ”

The black-clothed young man responded to the call, took two steps back, and his figure disappeared on the spot like a wisp of smoke.

Kong Yunxiang was in a hurry: "What do you want to do?" Let someone follow Li Weitian? This is a big no-no! will him off! ”

"What are you anxious about? With Li as the sky's cultivation, it is impossible to find Kong Menghua. If you want to listen to the teachings of your ancestors, there are so many good places in the Wei family, why didn't he invite his ancestors to go, and he had to come to the shabby land of the Kong family? He must have come here for a purpose that is not pure! ”

Then, he glanced at Kong Yunxiang, "Speaking of which, the outer courtyard of this Confucian Mansion has become a forbidden place. Why did my father invite outsiders to stay this time? ”

Kong Yunxiang lowered his eyes involuntarily, "This is my father's decision, and I don't know." ”

"You don't know?" Kong Fengling snorted dissatisfiedly.

Although he is now the eldest young master of the Kong family, he has always felt that his father and brother seem to have something to hide from him, which makes him extremely unhappy. Therefore, during this time, he would come to the outer courtyard of the Confucian Mansion from time to time, which he had never set foot in before, to visit the small sects where he lived, and wanted to find out something from them.

Unfortunately, so far nothing has been achieved.

Seeing Li Weitian this time made him see hope, and he naturally didn't want to miss it.

These things are all unknown to Ling Ruo.

She and Li Weitian followed Li Shen into the courtyard where they had temporarily settled. The Kong family treated them well, and the residence given to the Dezhen faction was a large courtyard with six entrances, and after the disciples of the Dezhen faction moved in, half of the rooms were empty.

However, this may also be because there is no shortage of places in the outer courtyard of the Confucian Mansion.

Li Shen took Li Weitian and Ling Ruo, and after meeting the high-level disciples of the Dezhen Sect, he returned to Li Shen's room.

After the door was closed, the men chatted for a while, then pushed open the window and quietly left.

It's just that few of them don't know that behind them, a shadow that seems to be nothing, is silently following them.

The outer courtyard of the Confucian Mansion has been abandoned for nearly a hundred years, although those courtyards are regularly taken care of, but because of the long-term inactivity, the trees and shrubs outside the courtyard are overgrown, almost covering the original road, and the scene is similar to the inaccessible dense forest.

The three of them quickly shuttled through the dense forest.

"I've met Yu Xian here before." Li Shen stopped, pointed ahead, and said to Ling Ruo and the others.

Li Weitian looked at the ground, "This is the mountain road originally opened up by the Kong family. ”

Hidden by weeds and fallen leaves, a mountain path paved with blue stones can be faintly seen.

Ling Ruo suddenly said, "There should be people walking around this mountain road occasionally. You see, although you can only faintly see the blue stone below, you can still see the shape of the road compared to the surrounding environment. If no one had been moving, the mountain road would not have been shapeless at all, and would have been covered by the thick fallen leaves. ”

"Could it be that the disciples of the Kong family came out? Although the Kong family has no longer arranged for their own disciples to live here, this does not mean that they have completely given up here, and occasionally someone still comes to take care of it. The yard we just saw, although a little old, is still very well preserved, apparently the result of being regularly tended to. Li Weitian said in a deep voice.

However, Li Shen's expression was a little solemn, "After the last incident, I have specially inquired with the disciples of the Kong family, although the courtyard at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside is regularly taken care of. But, in addition, the depth of this Kongshan, they basically do not come in. In other words, they are not the ones who can barely keep the shape of this mountain road. ”

Ling Ruo said, "You mean, these are those who came out after losing their souls like Yu Xianxian? ”

Li Shen nodded slightly, "This is the most likely." However, this is by no means a recent one, it should be all the time, from time to time, people are moving around. ”

He suddenly turned his head and asked Li Weitian: "You are relatively familiar with Linhai City, have you heard of it before, do you often go missing?" ”

Li Weitian frowned slightly, "The most famous disappearance I heard was the disappearance of Kong Baichi, the head of the Kong family, a hundred years ago. Linhai City is so big that it is already equivalent to a country in the mortal world, and if one or two people disappear occasionally, except for those close to them, it will not stir up any sparks in this city. At that time, Kong Baichi's disappearance would be such a sensation because of his identity and status. ”

At that time, Kong Baichi was almost equivalent to Yin Hong, the current head of the Yin family, and in the entire Linhai City, he was the second and third biggest person, so he would naturally attract attention.

Ling Ruo felt that he had miscalculated, he had known that this matter could be involved for such a long time, so they said that they would first ask the people of the Wei family to help check the situation in Linhai City before.

However, it is too late now.

In other words, it is very likely that this kind of disappearance has always existed, but it has not been taken seriously. It wasn't until this grand event in Linhai City that countless monks poured into the city, and among the missing people, there were foreign monks and contestants participating in the martial arts competition, so it was exposed? ”

Speaking of this, Ling Ruo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Weitian, "Speaking of which, all of this has a great deal to do with you. If it weren't for the fact that you were attacked and almost died, Princess Furong would not have ordered someone to track it down. Even if those contestants are missing, their relatives and friends ask for help from the patrol team in Linhai City, and this is at most the major families in Linhai City to check by themselves, maybe it will not be over. After all, in the eyes of the major families, those who are missing are all loose cultivators, and their lives are not valuable. ”

Li Weitian's heart moved, and he thought of something.
