Chapter 9 Qingyang City

After two more days of turbulence, the two finally arrived at their destination, Qingyang City.

Qingyang is rich in products and has many fertile fields. At this time, it was dusk, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, only a few restaurants and shops, located on two horizontal and vertical streets.

Jiu Ge took Xiao Jin'er and found an inn to ask for a room, and inquired about the Qingyang Wen family with the shopkeeper on the way.

"This Wen family has always been low-key, and the small ones know that there are such families, if the guest officer wants to know, he can go to the teahouse for a walk, and the news over there is better. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he went to the guest who was calling over there.

Jiu Ge is a little disappointed, the TV series is a bit fake, Xiao Er is so busy...

"Hey, I'll inquire again tomorrow, I'm sleepy, go to sleep. After experiencing fatigue driving, Jiu Ge is extremely interested in sleep, and would rather not eat enough than sleep.

On the second day, Jiu Ge slept lazily, got up late to clean up, and took Xiao Jin'er to the teahouse. As the first gossip place, it is indeed much more convenient and effective to inquire about news here.

After two days, the news about the Wen family has been almost heard, and there are only a few things that come and go. The ancestor of the Wen family, that is, the old lady Wen, made meritorious contributions under the founding emperor and was awarded the title but it was not hereditary. Now that the old lady Wen has also passed away, the eldest master of the family is also old, the eldest young master is still good at gambling when he gets married, and the young masters are stubborn, and the possibility of the Qingyang Wen family rising again is very small, so it became an irrelevant existence and was removed from the family.

Of course, there is another way to rise is to join the Xianmen, and if you have the strength, you will naturally be able to speak. Jiuge is now located exactly 160 A.D., the original history should be the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but for some reason, it is the Mo family that now dominates China, and the capital is built in Yanyang, called the Western Liang Kingdom. Originally, Jiu Ge was still confused, but after thinking about it, time and space can be reversed, didn't he come here inexplicably, and it is not strange that a country that does not exist in history appears. But what is certain is that the continent is still the same continent, and the mainstream culture has not changed. The only difference is that the Xiliang Kingdom advocates immortal arts, and the strong are respected, so there are various families and sects, and the royal family has outstanding ability in the family and dominates the world. Each Xianmen not only teaches poetry, books, etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also swordsmanship, war, unique exercises and formations, if you are lucky enough to enter the Xianmen penance, it is a precious opportunity to prove yourself, and even get the royal favor and become a nobleman.

Therefore, the Wen family has a close relationship with the Zhang family, the Zhang family is high and powerful, and naturally there is a relationship between the Xianmen, and the Wen family has entered the Xianmen by relying on the relationship of the Zhang family, but there is no Wen family who is famous in the world. Despite this, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Wen family is not affected, but the second lady of the Zhang family is temporarily living in the Wen family at the moment, which shows that the relationship between the two families is very close.

It is related to Youcheng, and it will be difficult to eliminate disasters for others, Jiu Ge frowned sadly, and thought for a long time without any clue, Xiao Jin'er on the side saw this, and she was also anxious, and there was no good way to think about it.

"It's better to flip through the silk book again and see if there is any useful news. Xiao Jin'er is still old-fashioned when she speaks, she eats and drinks well these days, plus she practices her skills, she sees a lot of anger on his face, and Jiu Ge is also happy to look at it.

"Hmm... Okay!" Jiu Ge was still used to looking into his eyes and talking, replied very seriously, and then flipped out the silk book to read.

It's a pity that the silk book is more of the owner's fragmented thoughts, remembering some dates and life on Penglai Island, Jiu Ge read it once before, and there is nothing to gain, but now it is clear after reading it carefully.

The cave owner left his name Qingxuan, did not explain his surname, and was forced to flee to the sea by Wen Chongming, the head of the Wen family at that time, and when he arrived in Penglai, his meridians were completely destroyed, and he could no longer practice immortals. Thinking about it this way, the cave master's pen is not the same as the text of the remaining three silk books, and it may also be an exercise obtained by chance in the cave, but due to his own physical condition and inability to read the text of the silk script, he has not practiced it.

Back to this Wen Chongming, it was the eldest master of the Wen family at this time, the disciple of Qiyun Mountain at that time, the people who cultivated immortals lived a long time, and it is understandable that Wen Chongming is still alive. But now that he is so old, it is rumored that he is old and powerless, I don't know if he is really old or hiding his strength, so he can only go to the Wenfu to find out, and then explore the bottom first.

At night, Jiu Ge cleaned up, put on clothes similar to those of the Wen family, combed his hair, and under the request of Jin'er's children to resolutely follow him, he had to get him the same outfit and go out with him.

The Wen family's house is in the south of Qingyang City, and it is not very far away if there is light work, and they soon climbed over the wall and entered the inner courtyard of the Wen family.

But in a moment, Jiu Ge sensed that something was wrong, there was no one in this huge mansion!! There was not a single sound in the silence around it, not even a single song of insects and birds, and the whole mansion was as cold as if it was dead, except for the series of lanterns in the upper hall and in front of the corridor, which scalded countless holes in the night.

"It's evil, what about this person?" Jiu Ge shuddered and continued to whisper:

"This big family goes to bed so early?" Of course this is impossible, the Wen family is the dominant family in Qingyang, with countless fields under their names, and after so many years of accumulation, there will always be a family fund, so a big family with a little family background has a nursing home, and even a small house just passed by, there are guards at the door, and there are masters of night patrols in the courtyard.

"There must be a demon when something goes wrong, Xiao Jin'er should be careful, if there is any situation in a while, you will run quickly, you know?"

Xiao Jin'er was speechless, and when she saw Jiu Ge's posture that you wouldn't leave if you didn't agree, she had to nod.

The two of them quickly circled most of the house and walked through the lighted rooms.

"There's no way for us to find it like this, let's go up to the roof and see which yard is the biggest. "Jiu Ge doesn't know much about the house, but there is the essence of respecting the old and loving the young as the essence of mainstream culture, and Master Wen, as the boss of the Wen family, is very likely to live in the largest house.

At this time, the two of them were in the southeast corner of the Wen Mansion, next to a large garden, and behind them was a high courtyard wall, and forward, roughly in the very center of the Wen Mansion, there was a building much higher than the other houses, and the two of them went there.

"It's still locked, and it seems that this is not where the old man lives. Jiu Ge touched the heavy lock, and it seemed that something important was placed here.

"Come in through the window. As she spoke, Xiao Jin'er had jumped lightly and went up to the corridor on the second floor.

Jiu Ge walked to the window on the left and shook it back and forth, finding that the window was clasped from the inside. Jiu Ge picked a thin hairpin from his head and took it off, poked it into the crack in the window, and with a slight pick, the lock opened.

Jiu Ge entered the room and closed the window. The room was large, with books on both sides, and then two low tables in vertical rows, with many tablet booths on opposite the door, and the table in front of the tablet was placed with tributes and candles, which should be an ancestral hall.

"I don't know what the logic of putting a flammable material like a book in the ancestral hall is, and I'm not afraid of burning it. Jiu Ge rummaged aimlessly and turned over the ancestral hall.

"So where is the family?" Judging from the room I had just visited, the candles in the room had just been picked, the tea on the table was warm, and there was no trace of fighting or rummaging.

"Can it still evaporate out of thin air?"
