Chapter 281: Ten Years of Bureau
After boiling for half an hour, the firewood and fresh fish had been set up, and Ji Ye told the whole thing to a few people.
It's a bit of a long story, and it starts 12 years ago.
After the Great War, Ji also came to Wu State, and as soon as he arrived here, he began to collect intelligence.
By chance, he tracked several disciples of the Yuqing Sect to Lingxi Town, which was much more lively than it is now, and the business of the inn was not as depressed as it is now.
At that time, the old man's wife and daughter were still alive, helping to cook the inn business, and the old man's personality at that time was not as sharp as it is now.
Those Yuqing disciples were obviously heading for that inn.
After entering, these people drove all the guests out of the inn, and finally told the old man that there was an elder in the door who had taken a fancy to his daughter and wanted to take her back as a disciple.
Being accepted by Elder Yuqing under the door must be a great joy in ordinary people's homes, but the old man and his wife were not happy at the time, but those people threatened and coaxed, and finally the girl finally compromised and followed those disciples to Linggu Mountain.
At that time, Ji Ye seemed to think that the girl was a mortal at all, not to mention whether she could condense the cyclone, that is, she really had good qualifications, and she had already passed the best age for cultivation, how could he come to take her back to the sect for no reason?
With these questions, Ji also began to investigate the origin of the inn, and after some investigation and secret visits, he learned that the old man's surname was Gu, his name Xiuyuan, and his ancestor moved here five hundred years ago, and the cause of his family's ruin was his ancestor Gu Daofang!
It is rumored that this ancestor of Gu Xiuyuan is from Zhongzhou, and he is from the Gu family, the first refining family in Zhongzhou.
Somehow, he was expelled from the family, and then went to Shenzhou to avoid the enemy, and came to Lingxi Town to live in seclusion in such an inconspicuous place, but unfortunately, he had just arrived in Lingxi Town for only two years, and his big enemy chased after him, Gu Daofang's family was dragged down by himself, and led him away before the enemy came to the door, and never came back, and his children were still young at the time, and this ability was not passed on to one or two.
After a hundred and ten years, the descendants of this refining master were completely integrated into this land and became a famous local family, but it is a pity that his descendants became more and more unsuccessful, and after several generations, the huge family also began to decline, and its clansmen also left Lingxi Town for their livelihood and scattered to other places to make their own lives.
Until a hundred years ago, Gu Daofang's descendants were the only ones left with the family of Lao Han's grandfather who still lived in Lingxi Town, and the fact that his ancestor had come from the first refining family in Zhongzhou accidentally passed into the ears of an elder in Yuqing who was good at refining.
After a secret visit, the elder of Yuqing confirmed that this matter was true, and according to his calculations, Gu Daofang's refining level at that time had already given a glimpse of the threshold of the refining master.
The Yuqing elder, who was good at refining weapons, didn't believe that Gu Daofang would leave nothing behind, and repeatedly sneaked into the courtyard of the ancient family to find out if there were any leftovers from the past.
But Gu Daofang has been missing for 400 years, and his house has been flipped many times, and even if there were things left back then, I don't know where they all went.
But that Elder Yuqing just didn't give up, and after nearly a year of frantic searching, he really let him find the object that Gu Daofang had left behind.
"You said, could it be the ancient well?" asked Hu Ye.
"Yes, that's it! That ancient well was Gu Daofang's handy work back then. Yoshiya finished answering and continued to tell.
Ever since he saw the strange dragon carving on the ancient well, this refining elder was completely conquered by the unique methods of the ancient family, and he became even more interested in finding its relics.
But he searched for a long time, but he couldn't find other things left by Gu Daofang in that mansion, if it weren't for the fear that the Gu family's matter would alarm the sect, he would have arrested the Gu family and tortured them one by one!
But there is no impermeable wall in this world, what the elder of Yuqing refining weapons did was hidden from his own sect, but he was peeped out by the eyes of other forces, it was nothing, in this Linggu Mountain, the Yuqing family is dominant, those forces just know and will not touch this mold, but it just so happens that there is a force that has made enemies with this elder, and after seeing that he is particularly concerned about the affairs of the Gu family, he actually burned down the old house of the Gu family in a frenzy.
The fire burned Gu Xiuyuan's relatives to death, and he was the only one who escaped because he went out.
Hearing the news, he hurried back to Gu Xiuyuan and cried for three days, and later, with the help of his neighbors, he pawned some belongings and set up another adobe house on the ruins of the old mansion, which is now the inn.
Not long after, the Yuqing elder sensed the opportunity of the Yuan Shen, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being, and his own disciple secretly monitored the Gu Xiu Yuan, while he himself was officially in retreat, preparing to try to impact the Yuan Shen Realm.
His retreat was twenty years long, probably because the matter of the Gu family became his heart disease, and in the end, he failed to break through the realm of the Yuan Shen, so he had to go out of the mountain again and go to the Gu family to investigate.
This investigation has since I learned that the original ancient house is no longer there, and Gu Xiuyuan, the only descendant of the Gu family, has also married a wife and had a daughter.
Elder Yuqing was unwilling, and sent people to visit the Gu family who were outcast, but after so many years, there were really few people who could still find people related to the Gu family in Lingxi Town.
After searching for it to no avail, he hit the idea on the daughter of Gu Xiuyuan.
After that, Ji Ye happened to encounter it, and after spending a lot of money to find out the ins and outs of the matter, Ji Ye began to brew a plan against Yuqing Sect.
"Could it be that the old Han family was killed by you?" asked Hu Ye.
"Fifth master, this matter has nothing to do with the villain, the mother and daughter both died at the hands of Elder Yuqing, so the ancient Han hated the monk so much!" Ji Ye was full of grievances.
"What happened later, how could the Gu family matter be calculated on Yuqing's head?" Hu Ye asked again.
"Although the villain is not talented, he has also helped his master establish a little power in Wu over the years, and under the deliberate disclosure of my people, many forces know that Yuqingzong is plotting a treasure, as for what it is, they can only know when they act. ”
As soon as the news of Yuqing's imminent action was released, sure enough, those small forces rushed to hear the news, but under Linggu Mountain, they couldn't rob the people of the Yuqing Sect no matter what, and what the villain had to do was to let them witness the Yuqing disciples take the treasures away, and then let those people disappear!"
"The cultivation of those people in Yuqing is not weak, and Lingxi Town is so close to Yuqing Sect, how can they say that they are missing!"
"If those people are really from the Yuqing Sect, of course it's impossible, but what if they are not from the Yuqing Sect?"
"You mean......" Hu Ye's heart moved, and he had some new views on Ji Ye.
"Just as the five masters thought, the ones who snatched the scrolls are all our people!"
"Could it be that the hotel was not from the Yuqing Sect at that time?" Hu Ye looked at the two of them in surprise.
The little fox only cooks the grilled fish, and has no intention of participating in it at all.
Ji Ye showed an inexplicable smile: "It was indeed the people of the Yuqing Sect who lived in that day, but it was not them who snatched the scroll!"
"So where did they go?"
"Dead, died shortly after nightfall. ”
"You did it?"
"The villain doesn't have that ability. ”
"Is that ...... You?" Hu Ye's puzzled gaze fell on the little fox, but in the next second, he shook his head like a wave drum: "How is it possible! The little sister has never left the room!"
