The most difficult system to open in history

"Xinyue, I feel extremely uneasy in my heart, as if something big is about to happen, and Xinyue, don't you feel that the mansion is extremely abnormal recently, especially after the old ancestor's illness worsened, even his father hasn't shown up for several days .”

"In fact, Xinyue also thinks it's a little unusual, but your reaction is too extreme, miss, and you want to escape from Qiao's house."

When the word escape was said, the little maid hurriedly covered her mouth subconsciously. After looking around and seeing no one, she took a deep breath and continued to lower her voice and said:

"Miss, don't even think about it. If we leave Qiao's house and the entire Qiushui City, where can we go?"

"Miss Ben has her own place to go."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yue, who had a slender figure and an extremely delicate face, stepped heavily on the railing of the water pavilion under her feet, and came down in front of the little maid in twos and twos, continued to walk out, and said at the same time:

"Ms. Ben's uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger. I'm going to change clothes and leave the house now."

"But Miss, Steward Zheng went to the pier to buy crabs and hasn't returned yet. Miss, you eat crabs every day. If you're in such a hurry, leave. What shall we do later?"

"Why would you eat crabs if your life is gone!"

The brows on Qiao Yue's exquisite face were tightly frowned, and then she walked out of the yard quickly, but just when she reached the door, she stopped in a strange way, with a displeased look on her eyes.

I saw two stout maids standing outside the gate of this courtyard. Then they stared closely at Qiao Yue who stepped out of the gate, and then said:

"Miss, Madam welcomes you!"

Chapter 1161

Qiao's Mansion in Autumn Water City covers a huge area, covering a large area beside Lingbo Lake on the west side of Autumn Water City.

In fact, the rich heritage of the Qiao family, which lasted for thousands of years, can be glimpsed from the overall pattern of four forests, three waters and three buildings in the mansion. Especially in the garden in the middle of the mansion, there is a particularly huge ginkgo tree, which is said to be Planted by the earliest ancestor of the Qiao family, it is now a thousand years old.

Don't know the cloud in the building, treat it as rain on earth.

At this time, it is the transitional season of late autumn and early winter. Countless ginkgo leaves on the body of this ancient ginkgo tree are falling like heavy snow in the wind, covering the body with a golden ground. Looking from a distance, it gives people a feeling A sense of antiquity and dignity.

For all members of the Qiao family, they are like the ancient ginkgo trees in Chuzhou, and even in the hinterland of Great Xia, which have been passed down for a long time. In every era, there will be proud sons who lead the family to stand on the torrent of time.

But in fact, recently, whether they are members of the direct line of Qiao's family or the servants, they feel a little uneasy, and they also keenly feel that everything around them has become a little weird.

Ever since the New Year's Eve in the 91st year of the Great Xia calendar, when the oldest ancestor of the Qiao family was bedridden all of a sudden, some little-known changes have quietly taken place in this thousand-year-old family. After fermentation, it suddenly becomes clearer and clearer.

Once under the old ancestors, the uncompromising patriarch's body is getting worse and worse, and he is getting thinner and thinner. He has become like a walking dead, exuding a strong old spirit, and these days he has locked himself in the Not at home, but the right to speak of the daughters of the Qiao family headed by the eldest lady has gradually increased.

As the saying goes, one ebbs and another, the servants of the Qiao family gradually discovered that there were more and more orders from the eldest lady, and they began to extend their hands in all directions, and they seemed to be in control of the overall situation. Years, but in a state of being bullied all the time.

In the middle of Qiao's mansion, beside the huge golden ginkgo tree, there is an antique room, and countless ginkgo leaves exuding golden awns fall on it, as if it has been coated with a layer of gold, dazzling and noble.

Inside the room, the temperature is warm and comfortable due to the heat of the charcoal fire. At the same time, on the desk next to the window in the room, a middle-aged woman in expensive Chu embroidered brocade clothes is sitting. There was a figure lying down, and then an indifferent voice sounded:

"Old guy, when you entered your Qiao's house, you treated me like a discarded commodity and made things difficult for me just because you couldn't give birth to an heir. In the eyes of outsiders, I was the eldest wife of the Qiao's family, but it was only me. Clearly, I am just a tool you use to consolidate your position.

"However, you should never have imagined that the Qiao family, which you regard as a life-long painstaking effort, will fall into my hands in the end. Fortunately, you are dying, otherwise, when you step out of this door, you will see the entire servants of the mansion. In front of me, that taste must be uncomfortable."

After the middle-aged woman's voice fell, following her gaze, one could clearly see a sallow complexion and an extremely weak old woman lying on the bed in the house. The old woman's eyes were extremely dim, perhaps because she was disturbed by the woman's words. Excited, he was trembling all over at this moment, spitting white foam from his mouth, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Old Ancestor, you must take care of your health. I don't want you to die so early. Of course, it will be very interesting to see with my own eyes how I plan to take care of your Qiao family."

The words from the middle-aged woman's mouth made the old ancestor of the Qiao family tremble even more, and even opened his mouth to let out a hoarse roar:

"Woo, woo, woo!"

"Ancestor, are you very angry and powerless? Is this feeling uncomfortable? I have lived under this feeling for more than 20 years, and you just feel that you can't stand it after a few days. How can this be done? "

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged woman got up and paced to the side of the bed, lowered her head and looked down at the filthy old woman who was trembling all over, the coldness in her eyes became more and more intense, after a sneer, she turned around and walked out room.

Floating under the ginkgo leaves, the door of the house opened, and the figure of a middle-aged woman came out. The servants who had been waiting outside saluted together, and then the middle-aged woman sat directly at the stone table in the courtyard, waved her hand forward, and said in a voice:

"The old ancestor's condition is improving. It is just the time when he needs to rest. No one is allowed to disturb him. The big housekeeper stays, and the rest of the people leave."

"As you order, Madam."

After saluting, all the servants took their leave, and then the big butler, who was also not too young, stepped forward, respectfully knelt down in front of the middle-aged woman, bowed his head and waited for the order, and then the woman's stern voice came down:

"Sir, how many years have you been with me?"

"It's been almost 24 years since I returned to Da Furen."

There was a slight tremor in the voice of the butler, not only because the power and influence in the body of the middle-aged woman in front of him became stronger and stronger, but also because the two of them had an unclear past when they were young, and this period of time is like The dream-like memory is a taboo that the butler dare not touch in the rest of his life.

Therefore, the butler lowered his head even lower, almost lying on the ground like a docile cat. Afterwards, the eldest lady of the Qiao Mansion frowned slightly, and looked at the butler in front of her, with a flash of disgust in her eyes. After passing away, he continued to ask:

"Has the storyteller who eavesdropped been dealt with?"

"Mrs. Hui, it has been dealt with. It sank into the depths of Lingbo Lake. It is hard to find ghosts."

The butler raised his head and continued to speak respectfully:

"The rest of the people who have had contact with this person are already under close surveillance, but it is said that a storyteller who drank with him went to Shenjing City."

As soon as these words came out, the fierce look on Da Furen's cold and stern face became even more fierce, and then she said word by word:

"I don't care what method you use, find out that person and deal with it. If the plan is broken, you and I know the consequences. We have no way to turn back."

After the eldest lady finished speaking, she raised her leg and kicked the butler in front of her chest. After the latter grunted, she bit her lips tightly, and then heard the middle-aged woman's roar come out again:

"Why has it been so long, that girl Qiao Yue hasn't been brought before me yet!"

Under this heavy foot, the big housekeeper rolled away a long way, then he staggered up, knelt down and kowtowed and responded:

"Back to Da Furen, she has already been escorted here, and she will come here immediately."

"I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise this lady will take your skin off. You should be very clear about the importance of this girl. The ancestor and the master are already under my control. The only thing that can hinder you in the entire Qiao Mansion. It's that girl Qiao Yue."

Chapter 1162

In the core area of ​​Qiao Mansion, there are luxuriant branches and leaves, and the ancient ginkgo trees stretching their golden leaves in mid-air, amidst the rustling sound, a dazzling golden rain falls.

This is a beautiful scene that is rarely seen in the outside world, but the tyrannical aura released from the eldest lady sitting in the yard of the hut completely destroyed this beautiful scene, leaving nothing behind.

This eldest lady, who has been bullied in the Qiao Mansion for nearly 30 years because she has no children, does not have a face that is smooth and delicate due to careful maintenance like the other ladies. A little older, and at the same time, deep in the crisscross wrinkles, there is unimaginable resentment.

She has endured silently for so many years, and now that she has gained power, she can no longer control the hostility in her body, and even a layer of scarlet color appeared in her eyes.

Time passed slowly, and the ginkgo leaves fell one by one, together with the golden yellow leaves, and there were sweat beads on the forehead of the big housekeeper.

About half a quarter of an hour later, when the butler's calves kept shaking, there was a sudden noise outside the yard. After the sound came, the butler's tense body relaxed, and he bowed and said:

"Ma'am, Miss Qiao Yue is here."

"Bring it in, let the servants outside stay away, Madam Ben doesn't want to be disturbed."

After the words fell, the eldest lady looked at the gate of the courtyard with her icy eyes, and then she looked at Qiao Yue who was escorted by two strong women one after the other into the small courtyard, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a With an extremely weird smile, he continued to speak:

"It's really extremely difficult for my wife to invite the eldest lady to come here for a talk."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yue stepped into the courtyard, her exquisite face became colder and colder, her eyes were also fixed on the middle-aged woman with a grinning face in front of her, and she said word by word:

"Ma'am, you should be very clear about the meaning of the courtyard you are in. As the saying goes, the state owns the law, and the family has family rules. This ginkgo courtyard is the forbidden place of the Qiao family since ancient times. The Qiao family has rules. Except for direct descendants, no one dares to enter this place." The courtyard is a serious crime, but you will be imprisoned for a lifetime."

After Qiao Yue's voice fell, she stretched out her hand to push the strong maid in front of her away, stared at the front with burning eyes, and continued to speak:

"So you dare to sit here at this time, it seems that you are confident that you will be able to shut up the mouths of everyone in the Qiao family?"

"My wife has been at Qiao's house for so long, so she knows the rules better than anyone else. It's just a bad habit. Besides, this lady just came to see the ancestors. Who dares to blame him?"

With the last words in the doctor's mouth, the voice suddenly increased several times and became extremely sharp. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and slapped the desk in front of him heavily, making a loud bang.

Under the loud noise, Qiao Yue's expression did not change, but became more and more calm, and asked directly:

"Where's my father?"

When Qiao Yue's inquiry came out, the lady's face suddenly became extremely cold, and she even showed the same vicious and disgusted face as she was looking at the ancestor of the Qiao family in the room, and then the sharp voice continued:

"You should know that a pedantic scholar like your father is the most sanctimonious and hypocritical person in the whole world. If my wife remembers correctly, you and your father are not at odds, and similarly, you also hate the people around you. You want to be free from the Qiao Mansion that has imprisoned you, and you even don't hesitate to escape privately."

After the words fell, the eldest lady got up and took a step, came to the front of Qiao Yue, lowered her head slightly, looked into the latter's eyes, and the sharp voice sounded again:

"My wife knows that you secretly arranged for the steward to go to the pier to purchase crabs in Lingbo Lake privately, and also knows that you are arranging to leave, but in fact, this lady has a better choice for you than letting you leave."

After finishing speaking, the strange smile on Da Furen's face became even worse, and then an increasingly sharp voice came out:

"That is to invite you to join us, so as to gain power that you never dared to imagine, and then trample down those pious guys like your father, and even control the entire Qiushui City."

"You are completely insane. Who do you think you are, dare to touch Qiushui City? What gives you the confidence?"

Before the eldest lady's words fell, Qiao Yue's complexion changed drastically, and Qiao Yue's coquettish shout came out directly, and then the shock in the latter's eyes became more and more intense, and he continued to speak loudly:

"You are challenging the Great Xia court's control over Qiushui City. Not to mention one Qiao family, there are a thousand, and 1 Qiao families will surely die. I don't know what stimulated you to do so Will you seek your own death?"

"If it were normal times, this madam would never dare to have such an idea, but don't forget, in a few months it will be two years, and the whole Great Xia will be overwhelmed by then. Under the invasion, everything is possible!

"At that time, my sect will fish in troubled waters secretly. Under the protection of the power of immortality, no one can kill us!"

After the eldest lady finished speaking, she gave a slight signal with her eyes, and the two extremely strong women behind Qiao Yue stretched out their hands directly, grabbed Qiao Yue's hands and bent them backwards, and fixed them firmly in place, making it difficult to move an inch.

The woman's strength and lack of sympathy made Qiao Yue frowned because of the pain, but the latter gritted his teeth tightly, and the voice of gnashing teeth came out:

"You are crazy, you are completely crazy, and you even want to collude with the monks of the Taixuan Land. Not only will you die, but the entire Qiao family will be destroyed because of you. You are just a woman, but you are like a toad!"

"What do you know? You who have never seen the power of immortality have no idea how great it is!"

The lady who seemed to be in pain opened her mouth and let out an extremely sharp roar, then stretched out her left hand and pinched Qiao Yue's chin forcefully, the voice continued:

"Join us, Miss, to truly gain the power of immortality. As long as you join the Holy Cult, the entire Qiao family will be completely in our hands. When the land of Taixuan invades, everything will come to us." tilt."

"Idiots talk about dreams, different ways don't conspire with each other!"

"That's not up to you!"

The eldest lady screamed again, and then wiped her face with her right hand, and suddenly an extremely obscure black air was caught, and the black air condensed into a strange mask on her hand, exuding a creepy of black light.

As soon as this mask appeared, the head steward who was watching all of this trembled even more. He had clearly seen how the usually majestic and powerful head of the family became so weak and weak after being put on this mask. At the mercy of others.

Then the lady held the mask's right hand forward, and slowly pressed it towards Qiao Yue's cheek while grinning.

"Join us, live forever, sleepless and invincible!"

Chapter 1163 Xue Beichuan

"The Qiao family in Chuzhou has a long history of more than a thousand years. It is the leader of the literati in Chuzhou and even in the hinterland of Great Xia. It has a deep prestige."

In the main hall on the first floor of the Sitian Tower in Shenjing City, the explanation of the commander-in-chief of Sitian Supervisor Chuzhou who came hastily from Qiushui City resounded out, resounding through the entire hall.

Then the tired middle-aged cultivator looked at Sima Annan, who was listening, and the three figures in the robes of the Radiant Army and the Dire Division, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"This is a very important matter, but it's okay for you to say it."

After Sima Annan's voice fell, Sitian Supervisor Chuzhou Commander nodded, opened his lips, and continued to speak:

"Everyone in Qiushui City knows that the Qiao family has an extraordinary relationship with the royal family in the Baidi Palace. It is said that their ancestors used to be called sisters with the empress dowager who went to the immortals when they were young. , will give three points of courtesy."

"It's just some clinging people who put gold on their faces."

Sima Annan, who was sitting upright in the main hall on the first floor of the Sitian Tower, was looking down at the files of the Qiao family, without raising his head. After the voice came out, he stretched out his finger, pressed on a line in the file in front of him, and continued to speak:

"Qiu Shui's thousand-year-old Qiao's family produced more than a dozen champions in the previous dynasty, and countless officials entered the dynasty. Therefore, the family has a profound heritage, but for some reason, after our Great Xia opened the dynasty, it seemed that someone had dug up its bones. , only made some achievements among the people, and now, the biggest official in the clan is also a vacant post of counselor of the prefect of Chuzhou."

After Sima Annan finished speaking, he closed the file and stood up, and the clear voice continued:

"The bones have been lost. For the sake of the continuation of the family, we can only use some brains. It is said that when His Majesty accompanied the Empress Dowager back to the hometown of Lingbo Lake, the Qiao family came uninvited, and even wanted to send the women from the clan to the palace. It was also at that time that the news that this family had a past relationship with our emperor's family came out.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, he doesn't care about the Empress Dowager's affection, but now he has intensified his efforts to plot something wrong, that is to seek death!"

In Sima Annan's words, there was an extremely strong murderous intent. This young staff member who devoted himself to the matter of the Taixuan Land in front of him really did not expect that his backyard would catch fire, and it might even spread and burn into a fire. The raging flames that were difficult to extinguish made him feel equally angry.

"Lord Sima, the ancestor of the Qiao family fell into a critical illness after the year. Could it be related to this matter?"

Inside the Sitian Pagoda, the voice from the middle-aged Chuzhou Sitian Supervisor continued to sound, and then Sima Annan shook his head, put his hand into his bosom, took out half a tiger talisman with the totem of the black bird, and solemnly handed it to the person beside him. Wang Jing said directly in a cold voice:

"With this half of the Tiger Talisman, mobilize the Weiyang Army to surround the entire Qiushui City. No matter what the connection is, all the news about the Wumian Sect in Qiushui City must be revealed before the sun goes down tomorrow, otherwise I will just find a stone and kill it. .”

As soon as Sima Annan's words fell, the heads of the crowd were firmly locked on the mountain and sea map of Qiao's house on the west side of Qiushui City, and an extremely thick black light appeared in an instant, and as soon as this black light appeared, all the officials in the Sitian Tower suddenly erupted. Let out an exclamation.

Then, under the intertwining of gazes, Sima Annan clenched his fists, and his extremely dignified voice came out:

"The power of the outer domain, damn it, all those who are ready will come to Qiushui City immediately!"

At the same time, just as Sima Annan's whistle resounded through the entire Sitian Tower, a mask completely made of strange black light was constantly enlarged in the eyes of Qiao Yue, the eldest lady of the Qiao family. The power of death almost devoured the latter's soul, and at the same time, an extremely painful roar kept echoing in his mind:

"Throw yourself into the embrace of death, and you will become a sleepless person!"

In Qiao's ginkgo courtyard, with the madam's smirk, the mask in her hand was getting closer and closer to Qiao Yue's face, and the bewilderment in the latter's eyes became more and more intense, and even the pain on his face They all disappeared completely, and at this moment, this young lady of the Qiao family regained her sanity for a moment without knowing where the strength came from, and shouted loudly:

"Hurry up and save Miss Ben, Xue Beichuan, do you really want to watch me turn into a monster?"
