The mansions of aristocratic families are gathered together in one place, and no common people usually come here. Between the tall courtyard walls, there are several deep and quiet alleys, and the roads paved with bluestones are cleaned and tidy by the servants.
The door with the Chen family plaque on it slowly opened, and a young man walked out with a riding whip in his hand, surrounded by servants.
He glanced suspiciously at the end of the deep alley, where a few fallen leaves were blown to the ground by the wind, making no sound.
When the entourage brought him the horse, the man said casually: "There has been some unrest in the mansion recently. You should strictly guard the door and don't let some little B@st@ards take advantage of the loopholes."
The boys guarding the door nodded quickly, but there was some doubt and fear in their eyes.
Strange things have happened one after another in the Chen family in recent days. Tiles fell from the roof for no reason, fruits disappeared from the kitchen, the maid saw a white shadow floating in the backyard in the middle of the night, the old lady of the Chen family was seriously ill in bed, and the servants in the family were terrified.
The man got on his horse and left with his entourage.
After he left, two servants whispered: "Do you think the young master should go to Qiuye Temple to ask a senior monk to do the ritual this time, or go to Huang Xuanguan to find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits?"
"They should all be quite smart. Whoever it is should hurry up and collect the evil spirits here!"
"laugh."
A chuckle made the boys jump in surprise, almost shaking like quails.
"Xiao Liuzi, did you hear anything?"
"It's the devil who is laughing, Lord Buddha!" A boy knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
The people squatting on the eaves of the Chen family's gate and on the courtyard wall all showed bored expressions. There was a clear distinction between them. Half of them looked gloomy and cold, while the other side looked sanctimonious.
The boy below looked around in panic and couldn't see them.
"It's already the seventh day, and you demon cultivators still haven't figured out who the Lord of Fire in the Stone is?"
"Both each other." A wizened old woman smiled sinisterly, with a green scorpion lying on her face wrinkled like tree bark. She rolled her eyes and said, "Heluo sect is good at Zhouyi Bagua and is a famous and authentic sect, so I must have known it for a long time. So, why didn't you ask, instead of staying here with us? "
The old men opposite who looked like they were dressed in worldly attire were choked up and looked embarrassed.
---The golden elixir has not yet been completed, and I have only stepped into the world of cultivation. How can I have the face to inquire about information from a famous sect? Normally, I just follow him around, but now I want to get lucky, so I can only squat around Chen Mansion to guard him.
There has always been a strange phenomenon in the world of cultivation. People who have attained the Taoism don't care much about their image. The more average the cultivation level, in order to increase the strength and save face, they must collect robes with talismans and formations, wear magic weapons with powerful aura, and wrap themselves tightly.
Looking at the colorful appearance of these people standing together in front of them, one can tell that there are no big shots among them.
The same goes for the demon cultivators. There is no need for such a powerful person to squat here. Just shouting and shouting will naturally have a flattering effect on the little demons.
"Once the fire in the stone overflows, the entire Yunzhou City will be doomed! Before we can escape, the demons and monsters will be frightened to death!" Someone on the Zhengdao side immediately made a sarcastic comment.
"Nonsense!" Venomous Scorpion's mother-in-law scolded, "Stop being hypocritical and think we don't know? You are so lucky that even if you can't get the fire from the stone, you can still save the ordinary people in Yunzhou City. This great merit, It's useless for the demon cultivator to do it, but you are watching with evil intent!"
"What do you mean by this! We are not waiting for the stone in the fire to recognize its master. If it explodes, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Jie Jie, if you really want to care about the people, you should show up and drive this family out of the mansion and ask the Yunzhou County Sheriff to move the people out of the city!"
"That's nonsense! You also know that Yunzhou is the capital of a county with a large population. How can you say that you will be accommodated? It is easier said than done to get the people to willingly leave their homes. If nothing happens in the end, who can afford such a big war!"
Granny Poisonous Scorpion stopped arguing and just sneered: "All the sects have arrived. From my perspective, we can't get any advantage, so we might as well leave as soon as possible!" After saying that, regardless of everyone's reaction, she floated down the courtyard wall and limped along. of leaving.
At this time, a group of people happened to come to the alley, carrying small boxes and surrounding a young man in brocade robes, as if they were going to visit the Chen Mansion.
"Wait!" Young Master Jinpao suddenly shouted to stop, frowning and looking at the Chen Mansion at the end of the alley.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
The older attendant looked respectful, but in fact he was extremely impatient.
I don’t know what happened to my young master. He was bedridden due to an accident from falling from a horse a month ago. After he woke up, he was doing all kinds of things at home. First, he spent a lot of money to ask for some Ganoderma lucidum, and then he kept asking his wife that he wanted to come to Yunzhou Mansion. The girl from the Li family ignored the decision, but the wife didn't agree and actually ran out without authorization.
After entering Yunzhou City, he just checked into an inn and said that he would pay a visit to the Chen family in the next life. On the way, he met a young man who kept insisting that he was the young master of the Chen family. It's a joke, who doesn't know that the direct lineage of the Chen family is weak, the old lady only has one grandchild, Chen Shu, who was already married when he was older than his age, so there is no young master.
The head of the Chen family had vaguely heard that he had a son who drowned in a pond. The Chen family invited many doctors and alchemists to cure him, but none of them could be cured. It was said that he died when he was six years old --- The entourage thought of this and was shocked. , couldn't help but think in horror: Could it be that my young master recruited something unclean?
He looked up and saw Young Master Jinpao staring at the empty courtyard walls and eaves. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he quickly persuaded him: "Young Master, we are a little tired from the long journey. It would be inappropriate to come to visit now. Why not..."
"shut up!"
Young Master Jinpao's face was ashen.
In his last life, although he was lucky enough to enter the Immortal Sect, he was still a small sect's outer sect steward until his death. He was the leader of a group of people sweeping the floor, carrying water, and chopping firewood. Not to mention that he had completed the foundation building, he could not even get the Bigu Pill. pellets.
Now that he has only been back for a month, he can only remember the exercises and formulas better than nothing. He has been practicing hard for a hundred years in his previous life. It's not a matter of his talent, but the introductory mental method only has this effect.
Now, even with the naked eye, it is impossible to see through the cultivators squatting in the Chen family mansion.
However, how could the young man in Jinpao not detect the strange aura that even the Chen family's servants could detect?
---This dense, strange feeling seems to surround Chen Mansion.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and the Jinpao Master blurted out a curse:
"Damn it! How is this possible, not two years later..."
Obviously it should have been two years later, when the idiot Chen family was nineteen years old, that a demon cultivator discovered the fire in the stone in the Chen family pond!
The Stone in the Fire was already the biggest opportunity he knew. After Leon Chen obtained the Stone in the Fire, it only took him a hundred years to become a leader in demon cultivation and one of the six great sages. Before that, Leon Chen was a fool who couldn't even recognize words. When he was beaten by gangsters at Qiuye Temple, he could only tremble with fear. He didn't dare to cry when he cried. He was just born with good luck. There was a pond at home. Fire in stone!
Young Master Jinpao gritted his teeth and looked a little ferocious.
---He came two years early, why was Shi Zhonghuo still discovered by the world of cultivation?
Granny Poisonous Scorpion, who was invisible and slowly leaving, noticed something strange and immediately stared at her suspiciously.
Young Master Jinpao felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he immediately knew that he was being targeted by a highly skilled demon cultivator. At this point, he understood that it would be difficult to get hold of Shi Zhonghuo.
If he doesn't do anything at all, he will stir up the water even more. Maybe he will still have a chance!
After taking a deep breath and regaining his composure, Mr. Jinpao held his head high and said to his entourage calmly: "I am indeed a little tired, but we have already come here. It would be wrong to turn around and go back. It would not be appropriate if the servants of the Chen family see it. Hand it over first." I'll just send you a greeting card and a gift some other time."
This was reasonable, and the entourage had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow the Jinpao Master towards the gate of the Chen Mansion.
"A descendant of the Yao family in Linshui passed by Yunzhou and came here to pay a visit to his family friend."
Young Master Jinpao looked at the young man from the Chen family who reluctantly came up to greet him with a pale face, and said casually: "I saw your young master lost in the street, and I was planning to say hello..."
"Sir, there is no young master in the Chen family!" The attendant quickly reminded, "They all said they admitted their mistake, and the young master has died a long time ago!"
He didn't say it was okay. When the boy guarding the door heard this, he was confused at first, and then his face turned pale.
In a big family, few servants are bought from outside. These young servants are still young. Although they have never met Leon Chen, they have heard about the death of the family's only son. However, the Chen family did not mention Leon Chen for a long time. They didn't think about it for a while. stand up.
Didn’t this young master’s incident happen in the backyard pond? What about the recent haunting in the backyard?
"This... I saw that the young master looked similar to Brother Chen Shi, so I thought--" Mr. Jinpao sighed and asked again, "I only heard that the young master of your house drowned in a pond when he was three years old. , he hit a stone, but he was saved even though he was confused. When did he die young? I was in the water, but I didn't know at all. "
The gatekeeper accepted the greetings and gifts, said a few vague words, and said goodbye to the uninvited guest. He wiped his sweat and muttered to each other that Mr. Yao was too presumptuous. How could anyone ask such a thing at the door of a house? Besides, it is unlucky for a child to die young. , even the family tree cannot be entered, and no family will notify family friends for this funeral.
"How did he die?" a voice asked.
"Who knows how he died? It was deep in the mountains and wilderness. He might have been picked up by a wolf."
"How did that little baby die?" Another eerie voice said.
"You've already said it, why are you asking? Who, who is talking?" The boys' legs were so frightened that they all sat down on the ground. Suddenly, they found that the steps were covered with poisonous scorpions, and some people fainted with fright. passed.
"Speak carefully to your mother-in-law." Poison Scorpion's mother-in-law picked up a boy and threatened her.
"Help!"
"Say quickly!" The cultivators on the wall also came.
The Chen family has strict rules, and this was the first time they heard about this after squatting for seven days.
"Spare your life, I say! The owner of the house had a child who was playing by the pond when he was three years old. He drowned and hit a stone and became stupid..."
"What kind of stone is it? Does it bleed? Is there a lot of blood?" Everyone asked eagerly.
The boy was so distraught that he had to beg for mercy: "I don't know, this all happened... more than ten years ago!"
"What about the little baby? If you want to see someone alive or die, you will see a corpse. Where is the body buried?"
"The Chen family went to the mountains to offer incense. When they came back, they said that the young master was lost. Where is the grave?"
Before they could finish hearing it, a group of cultivators ran away halfway. They took this news to the big sect, and they could get familiar with it without exchanging favors. The same goes for demon cultivators.
"The child is probably not dead. He is back in the city. Please inform the Demon Lord immediately!"
"Search the whole city!"
Poison Scorpion's mother-in-law's eyes flickered, and she quietly chased Mr. Yao. She felt that something was wrong with that boy, and he had ulterior motives in exposing this incident at the door of Chen's house.
***
At this moment, Leon Chen, who was about to enter the restaurant with his senior brother, suddenly paused and stared at the man passing by on horseback with his entourage. The latter also noticed the handsome young man on the street and looked down in confusion.
When their eyes came into contact, both of them were shocked.
Leon Chen just felt a little familiar, but the man's heart was already shaking like the sky and the earth.
---How could he forget the appearance of the cousin who killed his whole family!
Late that night, corpses lay everywhere inside and outside the Chen family's house, and even the thrush on the porch died in a cage.
Chen Mo ran into the backyard in fear and wanted to hide in the woodshed. Suddenly, he fell to the ground with a pain in his back. He only heard someone talking.
"You've killed so many, why haven't you found it yet? Are you sure it's in this house?"
"It's not wrong, it must be here---"
Before he finished speaking, a voice shouted in the distance: "Found it, it's the fool!"
The man lying on the ground struggled to open his eyes blurred by blood. Red flames suddenly emerged from the pond. The last thing Chen Shu felt was the scorching flames, endless. Before he could bleed out, he was caught in a sea of fire and burned alive. die.
Chen Mo couldn't scream, so he sat up in fear and realized that he was still ten years old.
The private school teacher scolded Chen Mo for being lazy and sleeping in class. The fool stood aside in confusion, grabbing his brush.
It was those eyes that had just watched him turn into ashes without emotion in the flames.
---He remembered that the flames went straight towards Leon Chen, wrapping Leon Chen inside and burning everything around him.
Chen Mo's eyes were red, and his hand holding the reins was shaking with anger.
The evil ghost is not dead, the scourge is back!
