Since people said so, Ji Yuan was of course surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Mr. Wei, I am very grateful for your kindness. It would be great if I could read the Heavenly Book!"
When the others heard such good news, they were a little bit unbelieving, but they soon reacted and showed expressions of ecstasy. They were looking forward to seeing this legendary heavenly book.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your generosity!" "Yes, thank you, Mr. Wei, for your generosity."
"It's great to be able to see the wordless heavenly book!"
Wei Xing smiled very generously.
"I still have some rights in the manor. You are all guests from afar, so there is no need to be polite. However, these two heavenly books are the treasures of my Wei family after all. I can't just read them whenever I want. How about this, Mr. Tie stays in my manor for the time being. When my eldest brother comes back tomorrow, I will talk to him and arrange for Mr. Tie to read them the day after tomorrow at the latest."
As he spoke, Wei Xing also turned to Jiang Tong and others.
"You are either prominent figures in Luping City or have businesses in the city. I will not allow you to stay in the manor. You just need to come visit us the next morning."
Several people looked at each other. Since Fourth Master Wei said so, they naturally had no objection.
…
In the afternoon, Jiang Tong and others had dealt with the matters they were supposed to contact with the Wei family, and they said goodbye and left. The iron curtain transformed by Ji Yuan was personally led by Wei Xing to tour the manor, and then he was arranged to stay in one of the houses in the manor for receiving distinguished guests.
The Wei's Manor is a large settlement that is self-sufficient to a certain extent. Ji Yuan's location is not the most central, but the scenery is beautiful. There is a winding path with a small river and trees in front, and vast farmland in the back. There are many houses and courtyards around, but because there are not many guests staying overnight, most of them are empty. Some houses are occupied by servants, who are convenient for providing the guests with what they need. Smoke from other areas can be seen in the distance, which should be the residential area of the Wei family.
From beginning to end, Wei Xing behaved very politely, and really treated Tie Mu as a friend who hit it off at first sight.
It was already dark at this moment, and Ji Yuan left the banquet specially hosted for him by Wei Xing and returned to the arranged residence. Looking at the gray night sky and the quiet smoke from cooking in the distance, it seemed that everything was normal in the entire manor.
Wei Xing took him around the manor today, and Ji Yuan noticed many places in the manor. In fact, the layout of Wei's manor was clear to Ji Yuan after he got rid of the dark thoughts under the lamp. His main purpose of walking around today was to see how many "normal people" there were in Wei's manor.
The answer made Ji Yuan very disappointed. Except for some servants of relatively low status, even some managers with other surnames had been contaminated with that aura. It could be said that they must have "eaten" people, and it was impossible for these people not to know what they had done.
Every member of the Wei family that Ji Yuan met smiled kindly at him, admired his martial arts, was polite, and was filled with happiness. The more this was the case, the more chilling Ji Yuan felt.
Ji Yuan has seen countless monsters and demons since he started practicing, and a large number of monsters and demons have been killed by him. The number of times he has had this feeling is very small.
But at this moment, Ji Yuan's mood had calmed down. He was looking at the smoke from the distant cooking fires and muttering to himself.
"The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit..."
Many people will do anything to gain wealth and fame. The upper and lower limits of these means depend on their own resources and cognition. So when they obtain means beyond their cognition, some people will use them without hesitation, while others will use them after hesitation and struggle. From the results, there is not much difference in essence.
After sighing, Ji Yuan returned to the house. He didn’t think that the Wei family would attack him tonight. After all, Wei Xuan hadn’t come back yet.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Ji Yuan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. He seemed to have overestimated the patience of the Wei family, or underestimated the speed of Wei Xuan's return and the Wei family's greed and determination.
Ji Yuan clearly felt that there were at least dozens of people surrounding the house where he lived. Each one of them was more vigorous than the other, and most of them had hidden evil intentions. It was impossible for a group of people to come here in the middle of the night.
Outside the yard at this time, the leader was Wei Xuan who had just returned. But the strange thing was that Wei Xuan was obviously old back then, but now he looked much younger. He and Wei Ming looked more like brothers than father and son, but his face looked a little pale.
"The Iron Curtain who is suspected to be a congenital master lives in there?"
Wei Xuan and others stood outside the main gate of the yard. The former whispered to confirm again, and Wei Xing immediately replied.
"You can't be wrong, big brother. I personally received him and arranged for him to stay here. Before he went to sleep, someone saw this Tie standing outside the house admiring the scenery."
"Dad, do we need to use some safe means before we act? After all, he is a congenital master."
Wei Xuan shook his head.
"The other party is at the Xiantian realm, and practices Iron Punishment Kung Fu. He claims to have been a master of the Dazhen Gong Sect, but it doesn't mean he has really retired now. This kind of person has been tested in the martial arts world and even on the battlefield for a long time, so some unpresentable means are useless."
What Wei Xuan meant by unpresentable means were things like smoke.
Just as Wei Xuan finished his words and had not yet specified how to proceed, the door of the house about ten steps away suddenly opened with a creaky sound without any warning, and everyone outside looked towards the door.
Tiemu stood inside the house, looking through the door at the people outside, his eyes fixed directly on Wei Xuan and others.
"Master Wei is very insightful, but I am a little surprised that you look so young. It seems that when martial arts reach a certain level, one can really return to nature..."
When Wei Xing saw the iron curtain open, he was slightly surprised, then smiled, clasped his fists, and said enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Tie. My elder brother has returned and is just about to invite you to move over and read the book. To be honest, this wordless book can only show words at night."
"Oh? Then Jiang Tong and the others won't have anything to watch?"
Ji Yuan asked again with a joking tone.
"Hahahahahaha… My Wei family's wordless heavenly book is so precious, how can anyone read it? I was just comforting them during the day. In fact, only Mr. Tie is qualified."
Wei Xing was still being polite, but Ji Yuan was already feeling bored and looked directly at Wei Xuan.
"Master Wei, if you don't take action now, dawn will come. It will be a sunny day. In your current state, will you be unable to open your eyes in the sun? Do you feel very uncomfortable and hate the daytime?"
Wei Xuan was originally ready to take action immediately, but when he heard these words, his heart was suddenly shocked and he looked at the iron curtain in front of him with horror.
"Mr. Tie, how did you know?"
After seeing Wei Xuan, Ji Yuan finally came to his senses. At this moment, his eyes were full of pity, but not sympathy.
"He was about to be refined into a zombie without knowing it. The funny thing is that he took the initiative to help refine himself. Haha, that's right, that's right..."
Ji Yuan laughed out loud, and the sarcasm in his laughter was extremely harsh to the Wei family. It also made everyone, including Wei Xuan, feel both fear and anger. They were afraid of the words Ji Yuan said while refining the corpse, and angry at Ji Yuan's attitude. Then the anger took over.
"You are probably crazy, talking nonsense here!"
Wei Xuan just shouted angrily, and the next moment he stomped the ground under his feet, approaching the door of the house rapidly like a ghost and as powerful as thunder. His right hand turned into a claw, tearing through the air and pinching Ji Yuan's neck. This terrifying explosion and speed made it impossible for people to react in time, and even his figure appeared blurry in the eyes of outsiders.
But in Ji Yuan's eyes, the so-called wind and thunder power is no match for fanning the wind with the palm. He just looked coldly at Wei Xuan who was approaching rapidly, looking at the crazy expression on his face and the scarlet color deep in his eyes. To outsiders, it seemed that Tiemu was unable to react and stood there stupidly, but the next moment.
"boom….."
Just like the sound of a hammer striking a solid rock, Wei Xuan flew backwards at a speed even faster than when he rushed forward...
With a "bang", Wei Xuan smashed the door of a house opposite and rushed into it.
Ji Yuan put away his left hand that was pointing upward, glanced at Wei Xing who was in a state of shock, and looked at Wei Ming who had a frightened expression.
"Who taught you how to harm others? Where are the writings and the real Heavenly Scriptures that I left behind?"
"You, who are you?"
This sentence came from Wei Xuan, who had already rushed out of the damaged house opposite with an obvious bruise on his forehead. The other members of the Wei family, whether they reacted or not, all stared at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan smiled. Since Wei Xuan himself was not the mastermind as suspected, he would no longer hide. Under the moonlight, the iron curtain, who was originally regarded as a senior official in the former Dazhen government, gradually changed shape and turned into a gentleman in blue clothes in a moment. He had a calm expression, long hair draped in front of his temples and a black jade hairpin on his loose bun. He was dressed in blue clothes and a long robe with wide sleeves. It was Ji Yuan himself.
"Who do you say I am?"
As soon as they saw Ji Yuan, some high-ranking members of the Wei family immediately remembered who the other party was, and only one thought naturally came to their minds, which was "run".
"Catch him. Catching him will greatly improve your power! Attack him together, all of you!"
Wei Xuan roared crazily, and then fled frantically the next moment. His voice seemed to have magic. Upon hearing his voice, many Wei family members immediately rushed towards Ji Yuan with ferocious faces, even some people who wanted to escape. The only ones who actually fled were Wei Xuan, Wei Xing and less than ten other high-level members of the Wei family.
Among them, only Wei Ming tried his best to suppress his fear. When his mind raced, he instinctively knelt down with a plop.
"Go!" "Catch this guy!"
"Kill him!" "Suck him dry!"
Many of Wei's disciples rushed towards Ji Yuan together...
"Certainly… "
After a faint sound, all the people who were making ferocious movements were frozen in place. Ji Yuan flicked his sleeves, and a human-shaped paper talisman flew out, transforming into a burly golden-armored warrior next to the many "frozen dolls" around him.
"Your Majesty!"
The wrestler saluted as usual, but his peripheral vision had already swept around him.
"Catch all those who escaped, no matter whether they are dead or alive, except Wei Xuan."
"Accept the order!"
The next moment after Jin Jia Lishi finished saying this.
With a "bang...", the ground broke apart, and a figure with a golden shadow quickly went away.
