"Speaking of which, Lady Qin is also the first person in Jiufeng City to believe in the Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune." The person surnamed Zhou continued, "I thought she married into Li Yuanwai's family for more than 20 years, but she has never been able to give birth. The second half of the children. It was not until she became a lucky and miserable immortal more than two years ago that her stomach finally moved."
That is to say, since then, Lady Qin has become the most loyal believer of the Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune, and has preached everywhere in Jiufeng City.
"Even eldest brother Jian, although he had a lot of feuds with her, also invited a blessing and misfortune from her to return and put it in the middle of Yunling Zhai. It's a pity that this didn't make him survive... Others say, It's because the calamity on Jian Jian's body is so great that even the immortal emperor can't hold back the blessings and misfortunes." The person surnamed Zhou let out a long sigh.
Wen Xuan thought silently. In just two years, even if Mrs. Qin was preaching crazily, it would be almost impossible for a new god to gain the worship of so many people. Today, the reason why the Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune can grow so strong in Jiufeng City is more because he just happened to encounter this strange disease.
Then Wenxuan asked, "Is it after the strange disease spread through the city, or before?"
This question was a bit tricky, and the person surnamed Zhou was stunned for a while.
After a long while, the man frowned and said hesitantly, "It seems to be after...? No, no..."
"It was before, before the strange disease appeared!" He suddenly thought of something, and he hesitated after changing it, and said decisively, "At that time, I was a guest in Yunling Zhai, and by chance I saw a piece of cloth covering it there, revealing a wooden carved one. Come here. As soon as I asked, Brother Jian told me that this was a statue that he had to put in his home because he was so annoyed by Mrs. Qin. Now that I think about it, this should be the god of good fortune and misfortune, but at that time, Jane The big brother didn't believe it, so he covered it with a cloth. Alas, maybe it's because of this disrespect that the god of good fortune did not bless him... When he was willing to put the god of good fortune on the bright side, the strange disease was already in Jiufeng City It has been raging for a long time, and he is also hard to come back."
"That is to say, he first put the Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune into Yunling Zhai, and then he got a strange disease, and then the strange disease infected everyone involved?" Wen Xuan asked again with a sullen face, " Did those people ever enter or leave Yunling Zhai before they contracted the strange disease?"
After hearing what he said, the person surnamed Zhou couldn't help but look a little sluggish.
The few words he said seemed to be nonsense, but when he took care of it like this... Why does it sound so wrong
Wen Xuan couldn't help taking a deep breath, "If your brother Jian didn't cover up the wooden sculpture at first, and let everyone notice the sequence, maybe someone else would have thought of this."
"Xian, Xianchang..." The person surnamed Zhou turned his gaze to the wooden statue of the Immortal Lord of Fortune and Misfortune, and couldn't help swallowing, "You mean... this blessing and misfortune of the Immortal Lord... It's all this blessing and misfortune Xianjun…”
Wen Xuan shook his head, "There is nothing to prove yet."
The person surnamed Zhou was sluggish for a while, and then finally came back to his senses, bit his teeth tightly, and became emotional, "No, Xianchang, I believe in you! I have said before that Brother Jian is a good person, and so is Jian Yi. How could this poor child be a calamity? But no one believed it! Later, more and more things happened, and even I began to doubt myself... Damn, I'm damned, why didn't I think of it earlier, in fact It's all the result of this blessing and misfortune! It's a shame that everyone thinks it's a good thing!"
Excited to the extreme, he rushed to the wooden statue in two steps, raised his hands, and was about to fall into pieces.
Wen Xuan, however, reached out and stopped the man, "Calm down first. I have to check more to find out what's going on. If it's really the fault of this thing, you can't be too late. ."
The person surnamed Zhou was stopped in a fit of anger, and immediately let out half of it. He held the statue and smashed it, either.
"If there is really something wrong with this statue, if you smash it now, you will startle the snake." Wen Xuan said here, seeing that the man was still hesitating, he shook his head and smiled, "What's more, if you just smash it like this, your wife Come back, won't you settle accounts with you?"
The person surnamed Zhou suddenly shivered, and put the statue in his hand back to its original position, "Xianchang is right, Xianchang is right."
Wen Xuan couldn't help but smile again.
"Xianchang, you must check it out!" The person surnamed Zhou finally pleaded, "I know that Brother Jian must be innocent, and he cannot be left with this stigma after his death."
Wen Xuan nodded, "It is my duty."
In this way, everything that can be known here has been explored again, and Wenxuan bids farewell to this person with the surname Zhou.
He walked like this, getting closer to the truth all the way, and finally came to the place where everything happened, Yunlingzhai. At this time, Yunlingzhai had changed hands and belonged to Lady Qin. Perhaps because it was too unlucky at this time, Yunlingzhai after the change of owners was not open for business, a layer of ash had accumulated on the plaque above, the heavy door was tightly closed, and there was no one inside.
Since there was no one inside, Wenxuan didn't need to be polite any more, he just walked in through the wall when he used a small spell.
As soon as I entered Yunling Zhai, I was greeted by a musty smell, and it was obvious that no one had stepped in for a long time. He waved his sleeves again, and the dust that was raised could fascinate his eyes. He walked a few more steps in the dust, and finally the corner of his eyes lit up and saw the wooden statue that was respectfully placed in the center of the table. If really is a normal immortal monarch of blessing and misfortune, really also exudes a strange aura.
But compared to the one in the Zhou family, the yin qi in this body is heavier. Wenxuan stood close, and even felt that even the hairs were starting to stand up uncontrollably.
If this kind of yin was in the past, Wen Xuan might not be able to tell what it was. But after seeing Zhao Feiyu and having a death contract with Zhao Feiyu, Wenxuan could already know that demonic energy, this wooden statue exudes a faint demonic energy.
It's unbelievable that this so-called Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune is actually a monster in essence.
Wen Xuan took a deep breath. He wanted to slay demons and eliminate demons, but this monster actually learned the means of Shinto. The wood carving is just a port to accept the worship of mortals.
In desperation, Wenxuan had to turn around and continue to walk in the Yunling Zhai. The elixir in Yunling Zhai has already been transported away, and the seating arrangement is still as it is. I don't know if Lady Qin wants to leave it here as it is, or if she plans to deal with it after things fade away.
This Yunling Zhai seems to be unable to find more.
Just when Wenxuan thought so, he walked into the backyard, and his eyes suddenly froze. Just under an old locust tree in the courtyard, there is a piece of soil that has been dug up. Wenxuan squatted down, took a bit of soil that had been turned over from the edge, and crushed it with his fingertips. The time for this soil to be opened is not short, some months, but not more than a year. After careful calculation, it should be after the death of Jane's father and the fact that Jane was also driven away.
After Lady Qin took over Yunlingzhai, what had she dug up here
Wen Xuan pondered as he continued to explore the rest of the courtyard. Just as he was about to reach the edge of the courtyard, he heard a burst of music. Someone next door was plucking the strings and playing a wonderful tune.
Lady Qin now lives next to Yunlingzhai, and she is good at qin music since she was a child. In those years, it was because of her skill in qin music that Lady Qin became famous in Jiufeng City, and even attracted that member Li to spend a lot of money to marry her. So now the person who plays the piano is the lady of the piano
Wenxuan hid his figure, jumped to the tree, and secretly looked next door.
For a moment, he thought he had guessed wrong. Because the person who played the piano looked like a young girl, playing with the strings in the room and singing in a low voice, it was a wonderful picture. But taking a closer look, he found that she was not actually a girl, with fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
There was a cradle beside her, and in the cradle a pink baby was waving his hands and giggling to the sound of the song.
This should be the child that Mrs. Qin got because of her blessings and misfortunes. In contrast, the woman who played the qin was indeed the lady of the qin. I can't believe how beautiful and charming she should be when she was young.
After a piece of piano music was played, the baby in the cradle quietly fell asleep, and Mrs. Qin stopped. There was a soft applause from behind, Lady Qin looked back and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair coming in from outside.
"Xiang Gong." Lady Qin got up to meet her.
The middle-aged man smiled and took her into his arms, a scene of love between husband and wife. Then the two whispered something, Wen Xuan was too far away and couldn't hear clearly.
He didn't intend to eavesdrop, but secretly got down from the tree, cast a few more small spells, and sneaked away through the wall, trying to find out where the Lady Qin lived. But before he could start, a sentence entered his ears.
"I just came back from outside and heard someone say that there is an immortal chief who is inquiring about Jian's family."
The person who spoke was the gray-haired middle-aged man. Wen Xuan's steps froze for a moment, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears.
"Xianchang?" Mrs. Qin said with surprise, "Why is there a fairy to inquire about them?"
"Who knows?" Li Yuan said, "The immortal chief has also visited many homes that have suffered from strange diseases."
"Is it to explore that strange disease?" Mrs. Qin calmed down a little and guessed, "Could it be that someone related to the immortal chief was involved?"
"I have to ask you." Li Yuanwai said, "Didn't you promise back then that you were looking for people with no background and would never make a big fuss?"
There is so much information that this sentence can reveal, Wen Xuan was startled, and his body could not help but move.
"I..." Lady Qin opened her lips slightly, just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed, she turned around abruptly, and asked loudly, "Who's there?"
How could this woman be so sharp? Wen Xuan quickly stepped back and hid his figure in the shadows.
But Lady Qin did not relax, but walked forward step by step, looking carefully at every corner of the house. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer, Wen Xuan had no choice but to step back again and exit the room completely through the wall.
Although he only listened to half of the conversation, Wenxuan could also know from this half of the conversation that the calamity of the strange illness was indeed inseparable from Lady Qin, and her husband Li Yuanwai was also involved in it. But Wenxuan felt that this was not enough, and he wanted to have more evidence.
Since there is such a keen person here, in broad daylight, it is estimated that it will be difficult to explore anything.
Wen Xuan shook his head and had to retreat temporarily, waiting for the night to come again.
When he left that place completely, Wen Xuan felt that his heart was jammed and he couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was. This discomfort is naturally not for himself, but for simplicity.
With the current situation, although Wenxuan is not willing to draw a conclusion, the facts are already very clear.
Lady Qin, this simple aunt, designed to kill the simple father, and used a well-laid deception to make the two of them become disaster stars in the eyes of the entire Jiufeng City, even if they died, they would be cast aside.
Wenxuan hoped that he had guessed wrong. After all, it should be the monster named Fortune and Misfortune Immortal. Lady Qin just believed in monsters. But the conversation between the couple just now made it difficult for Wen Xuan to convince himself.
The purpose of his trip is to know the simple past. But I didn't expect, I really knew, it would be so uncomfortable.
Even if it wasn't for Mrs. Qin, the more than ten years that young man had spent in Jiufeng City was enough to make Wenxuan uncomfortable. He lost his mother at birth, and lost his own relatives one after another as he grew up. He was also believed by others to have killed him. Almost strangled his aunt, and was praised as a hero by the whole process.
It hurts, it really hurts.
Wenxuan couldn't help but stop and took a deep breath, finally suppressing the pain in his heart.
He didn't go to find anything, although there were still many things he didn't know, such as why the dead idiot Jianqian became his lively and intelligent junior brother Jian. But at this time he just wanted to wait for the sunset, and didn't want to run more and hear more uncomfortable stories. During the time before sunset, he left Jiufeng City and went to a cemetery outside the city.
Although Jian Jian's father was reviled even after his death, because he was not the disaster star himself, he was collected and buried here. Wenxuan came all the way, wanting to pay homage.
When he finally found the position, he was stunned.
The tomb of Jian Jian's father has obviously been swept by the sacrifice first, the weeds around are all plucked clean, and there is no dust on the tombstone, it has been carefully wiped. There is also a bunch of wild daisies in front of the tombstone, yellow and white mixed together, but the blossoms are pink and lovely, as if they had been carefully selected.
Who came first? Is that the person surnamed Zhou? Judging from the dew on the daisies, it was obvious that the person who took the first step to sacrifice and sweep away did not leave soon, but it was a pity that Wenxuan missed it.
But since the sacrifice is so meticulous, why not light red candles and burn paper money, and only have such a bunch of wild daisies
Wenxuan was a little confused all of a sudden, but it was just the details.
When Wenxuan came, the sun was already a little westward. By the time Wenxuan's memorial ceremony was over, the sun had completely set, and night had enveloped the entire Jiufeng City.
Wen Xuan sorted out the clothes on his body and planned to go back to visit Lady Qin again.
But at this moment, Wen Xuan's mind suddenly moved.
He had hurriedly exited Lady Qin's residence before, but he still left a mass of his spiritual energy there. This group of spiritual energy has no effect on mortals, and it has no other effect, but if someone with a cultivation base or something approaches, this group of spiritual energy will be sensed, and then directly dissipate between the heaven and the earth, which is likely to be caught by the people who come after. find.
The reason why Wenxuan cast this spiritual energy is to prevent that monster from coming forward.
Now that the aura had dissipated, it was obvious that something had entered Lady Qin's house. Wen Xuan hurriedly accelerated his pace and rushed towards the unknown latecomer.
However, in reality, it was not a monster, but a foundation-building cultivator. A person that Wenxuan knew and who was ready for revenge.
Before Wenxuan arrived, Mrs. Qin felt something at night, opened her eyes from her sleep, and saw the figure standing at the head of the bed staring straight at her.
The wind suddenly picked up outside the window, and a thunder point fell. The thunder light illuminated the face of the person who came.
For Lady Qin, it was a face that could only be seen in nightmares now.
"Ah! Ah-!" She had never been so panicked, screaming that could pierce the eardrums, "Ghost! Ghost!"
The person who came looked at her panicked state, and pulled out a smile at the corner of her mouth.
