Chapter 109: What the Chu Mansion Sees
Compared with the low-key of the Xiao family's mansion, the Chu family's mansion is much more luxurious, and even in the Xishan area of Zhenwu City, where every inch of land is expensive, it is also rare.
The whole mansion is located on a slightly raised shallow mountain, with pavilions and pavilions, dotted along the mountain, and there are nearly 100 buildings as many as possible, not including the part under the shade of giant trees. The trickling mountain stream passes through the mansion, and outside the high courtyard walls, there are many ordinary or low-level monks, patrolling, guarding the safety of the mansion. Now it is the early spring season, the Lingmu flowers and plants that have been hard for a winter are spitting tender green, budding flowers, pink here, light yellow there, looking from afar, like pieces of clouds dancing with the wind, but also very interesting.
It is worthy of the family of Lizong who manages the spiritual land, and the wealth is obvious.
Jiang Feng spent a little effort to study whether the east gate or the south gate was the main gate, of course, there were more than these two doors in the Chu Mansion, but from the perspective of the feng shui system, these two places were the most likely. After observing the number of visitors and the number of visitors in front of the two gates for an hour, he finally chose the east gate and carefully handed over the prayer post.
"The sixth prince has died. The welcome guest had a flat face, looked at Jiang Feng carefully, confirmed that he was not a regular visitor in the house, and politely refused Jiang Feng's request to see.
"I know that something has happened to him, and I have come to offer my condolences. ”
According to Jiang Feng's prior inquiry, Chu Anlan had six wives and concubines and gave birth to many children. Chu Yiming is ranked sixth, and Chu Yilin, who is ranked second, are both prefecture-level monks, and the rest of the brothers and sisters are only at the Xuan level at most, such as Chu Wenyin, who is ranked twelfth, and cultivates to the seventh level of the Xuan level;
"Are you?" failed to persuade Jiang Feng to retreat, and Zhike asked about his origins.
"Jiang Feng, the head of the Lower Shallow Mountain Sect. Since he has already had an "intersection" with Chu Anlan, the head of the Chu family, Jiang Feng naturally does not shy away from his identity, he is in a very bad mood after being "prostituted", and plans to take this opportunity to establish some relationships with the Chu family more or less, so as to prepare for his future marriage, he will have more choices in the spiritual land, before, the experience of the Xiao family and the Yu family proves that it is not a bad thing to get acquainted with a big family.
It's just that this kind of acquaintance is not the same as the previous way of thinking, a bit of a mess, if it is recognized, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble. But since Chu Yiming is already a living dead, what is there to be afraid of.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful!"
The middle-aged acquaintance is a mortal, "I'll call Huang Donghuang to come over, and he is taking care of the affairs of the sixth son." He whispered a few words to the brocade guard next to him, and left in a hurry, bringing back a young man in a blue robe and jade belt with a beautiful face.
"Master Jiang?"
This Huang steward was a little dazed, he didn't know Jiang Feng, he only knew the identity of the person who came after hearing the report of the acquaintance, he usually followed Chu Yiming occasionally, so he still knew some of the "friends" of the sixth young master, but the one in front of him was a little raw, but he didn't dare to slack off, after all, it was his uncle who had been following Chu Yiming, and he had already died in the accident a few days ago.
"My master has died, and I will not accept condolences until the Assassin is caught. The young acquaintance explained, intending to persuade Jiang Feng, in fact, a small sect like the Asa Mountain Sect came from a small sect, even if he was the head of the family, he would probably not pay attention to it, but time has passed, this time and that time, and now Chu Yiming's situation is not the time when he is willful and arrogant, and he uses his identity as the master to make his temperament.
"Did Yi Ming wake up, Senior Chu said that he was still in a coma, is he in good condition?" Jiang Feng went straight to the point, he didn't know the person in front of him, and if he said too much, he would lose it, so he directly pulled the tiger skin and protected all the doubts. In the community, he also inquired about Chu Yiming's death, and they all said that he had been attacked by a mysterious assassin and died, and the caliber was very uniform. Therefore, he directly told the truth to show the extraordinary relationship between himself and the Chu family, especially Chu Anlan, the head of the Chu family.
It was Chu Anlan who told me, I know him very well, and Jiang Feng's meaning is obvious.
Thinking back to the scene at that time, maybe Chu Anlan's mind was a little scattered because of the matter of the Demon Shadow Seizure of the Dan, so he was deceived by himself, and accidentally told the inside story, changing the time and place, if he was in a peaceful state of heart, maybe he would not have made such a gaffe.
"Your Excellency, please. ”
As soon as Huang Dong heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal Jiang Feng to silence him, the news that the sixth young master was not dead was controlled within a fairly small range, limited to the monks above the middle level of the Xuan level in the family and the extremely close attendants, and even the acquaintances next to him did not know. At this level, he doesn't know the reason for doing this, but it is necessary to follow the instructions and keep his mouth shut, since the person who came knows about this from the mouth of the head of the family, he is naturally a friend of the sixth young master, and it is a very close friend, although in his opinion, the friends of the sixth young master are all using each other, but they are like brothers' general friends, these days, no one has ever come to mourn the six young people, which is the proof.
Moreover!
As usual in his heart, he smiled contemptuously, and then felt a little sad in his heart, although he looked down on or even despised the sixth young master's personality, including his recent "white prostitution" matter, which made the friends around him laugh at him, but the sixth young master was hanging half a life, and he was about to go into the ground, and his servants were also facing a desperate situation.
"Hello Miss Five!"
The two walked along the vermilion lacquer corridor with carved beams and paintings, and entered the inner mansion, there were not many people along the way, but they met a Chu family member, Huang Dong leaned sideways and saluted, Jiang Feng could only bow his head and flash to the side, letting the woman go first. Fifth Miss? Jiang Feng was scheming in his heart, according to the information he had heard, wasn't Fifth Miss Chu Wenyin, who was ranked twelfth? He couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and secretly looked at the other party with his spare eyes.
This woman is much younger than she imagined, I thought that she would be very old as Xiao Mingbao's aunt, but the one in front of her seems to be quite well-maintained, skipping the age of Hua Xin, with bright white hair and a shawl, a few strands of sideburns dyed black, a white skirt, a little powder, and her body looks a little weak, but like her father Chu Anlan, her sword eyebrows are thick and slightly raised, combined with the rumors she heard before, it shows that this woman may be different from what she has seen, and she should be a woman with a strong heart.
"Who is this?" her voice was gentle, slightly stern and vigilant.
"In Jiang Feng, the head of the Lower Shallow Mountain Sect, I have seen Chu Daoyou. I heard that Brother Yi Ming was seriously injured and came to visit. Jiang Feng took the initiative to salute and answer, and introduced himself by the way, if there is really a way to treat Xiao Mingbao in the future, maybe there will be further intersections with the other party in the future.
"It's rare that he has a few friends left. Chu Wenyin glanced at Jiang Feng suspiciously, didn't say much, and walked away. In the news that Jiang Feng inquired about before, it did not involve the relationship between the brothers of the Chu family, after all, this is a family affair of the Chu family, and it is rare to be out, but judging from Chu Wenyin's attitude, the relationship between the two is relatively cold.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Huang Dong was slightly embarrassed, Jiang Feng reminded him, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they talked more along the way. During the chat, Jiang Feng learned that this person's name was Huang Dong, and after his uncle died in the assassin incident, he had just been promoted to steward to deal with a number of follow-up matters. He said that he was in charge, but he had no rights except for the need to keep everything secret, and he didn't even have the qualifications to use it on a daily basis. After the sixth young master Chu Yiming left the family and lived in the "Full Moon Building", the Chu family's attention to his room had become very little, and now in this situation, he was even more helpless and confused.
Jiang Feng symbolically comforted a few words, visiting the Chu family, originally wanting to confirm the "friend" relationship between himself and Chu Yiming, and then try to blend into his circle and seek possible benefits.
Huang Dong's words made him feel a little worried in his heart, worried that almost everyone had abandoned Chu Yiming, and this worry was quickly verified, and it turned out that the white prostitute was indeed not worthy of friends.
Chu Yiguang, Chu Yiming's half-brother, about five years old, is the only child of the same clan who guards in front of the sickbed, and he is still a mortal, at least for now, the Eight Law Phase, even in this wealthy family, the possibility of awakening is not great. His face was spotted, covered with dirty tears, as if he had just cried, from this point of view, he was quite close to Chu Yiming. In addition, the only one who really cares about Chu Yiming is the biological mother Zhao who is fasting and praying in the backyard, she was born in a small family and has long fallen out of favor, so she was caught off guard by this sudden change, and she was at a loss, so she could only rely on her only sincere prayer to bless her son to get through the difficulties.
"Can you save my brother, he's still angry. ”
Just standing ten steps away, observing the unconscious Chu Yiming for a moment, the flower-faced boy had already spoken more than once, repeatedly asking Jiang Feng with the same sentence, aggrieved and helpless, sad and crying, it seems that no matter what kind of person Chu Yiming is, he is usually very good to his half-brother.
"Guang Shao, this senior Jiang is not a doctor, just a close friend of the young master. Huang Dong whispered comfortingly, "It's better to go to the backyard to eat first, if you do this, Madame will be sad." ”
"I don't, I want to save my brother. ”
Hi –
Huang Dong sighed secretly, Chu Yiming is the backbone of this room, he died, the day seemed to fall, he didn't have the heart to carefully comfort Chu Yiguang, a half-grown child, he could only silently look at Chu Yiming, who was breathing steadily, but had no signs of waking up, but his thoughts were already flying in his heart.
"Steward Huang, Fifth Lady invites the little young master to come over, and we will take care of one or two in the next few days. A female voice came from outside the door, and the two turned their heads to look, but it was a fat maid.
"I'm not going, I don't need others to take care of me, I want to save my brother!" Chu Yiguang saw this fat girl, he couldn't help but twist his whole body, beat his chest, and ran out of the room, running to his mother's room in the back hall.
It seemed that Chu Wenyin was still a kind-hearted person, and without Chu Yiguang's muttering inquiry, Jiang Feng calmed down and turned his gaze to look at Chu Yiming on the sickbed.
Chu Yiming's scattered white hair, it seems that this is caused by the blood of the Chu family, compared with his father Chu Anlan, his shoulders are narrow and pointed, his face is pale and haggard because of excessive blood loss, and his short beard is scattered, which should be due to the fact that he has recently grown out and has not been taken care of. His chest and abdomen were haphazardly tied with blood-penetrating linen, and the blood had already coagulated. There was an unhealed in-foot-long wound on his right hand that extended to his upper arm, which should have been caused by the previous fight, and on the desk in front of the bed, there was an ink-colored long sword, the blood stains had dried, and a faint blue-purple light flashed under the delicate treasure light, which should be between the second-order upper grade and the third-order middle grade, which further verified that the comer was not seeking wealth.
His breathing was fairly stable for the time being, but the speed at which his injuries healed was extremely slow, which meant that he had lost the rapid recovery ability of a ground-level monk, and his residual cultivation was only slightly better than that of an ordinary spirit-level monk.
Then use the phase splitting technique to check, outside the law phase space, there is a hole in the white mist mask as thick as gel, it seems that the other party used special means to break Chu Yiming's law phase barrier, and directly affected the law phase, and then seriously injured Chu Yiming, and took away Neidan.
The "Ice Slash Blade" Law Phase is still there, but due to the destruction when it bombarded the Law Phase barrier, the Law Phase has been thrown out of the already turbid spirit pool by external forces, and it is about to wither, and it is not only a mess, but also lacks vitality.
But the man didn't die.
"Brother Yi Ming, have you ever taken any pills?"
"No, no one can open the storage bag of the sixth young master, and no one can help the other rooms. When Huang Dong talked about this, his expression became more and more gloomy.
It's really weird, it stands to reason that he was destroyed and taken away from Neidan, and he will definitely die violently, but this person is alive.
Jiang Feng approached and looked carefully, constantly using the phase splitting technique to check, and found that at the edge of the spirit pool, there were still wisps of fine roots of the "Ice Slashing Blade" law phase, although it was few to the extent of a handful, but it could indeed ensure that the law phase was immortal.
What surprised him even more was that there seemed to be a pale and empty bean bead, suspended above Chu Yiming's spiritual pool, like a miniature inner pill, constantly stimulating the pool of the Law Phase, trying to make it emit more spiritual energy to the Law Phase, and repair the damaged Law Phase Space Barrier.
What is it?
There was only Huang Dong by his side, Jiang Feng didn't need to scruple, and secretly wrapped a wisp of spiritual power around the pale bean bead, but a weak cry for help suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Help me!"
