The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 45: Glory lasts only three generations

Jing Chen explained, "It was indeed this man who was shouting down there just now. He looks like a descendant of the Yun family. I don't know what happened. I'm afraid he'll die or disturb the city lord, so I've temporarily tied him up here."

"What on earth are you guys doing!" the tied man roared.

He tried angrily to break free from Jing Chen's Golden Spirit Rope several times, but to no avail. That was Jing Chen's magic weapon, comparable to the legendary Immortal Binding Rope, and ordinary people could not break free from it at all.

"Senior Sister, I've been chasing this guy for a whole day. He's quite skilled. Not only did he shake off those two people yesterday, but he also made me lose him several times. Fortunately, I secretly sprinkled butterfly powder on him." Qi Baige said as he moved closer to Mu Hanxing.

Butterfly powder is a tracking method used by the Questioning Heart Sect. One kind of butterfly powder is paired with one Psylocke. When the Psylocke is released, it will look for the paired butterfly powder and keep tracking.

Qi Baige was still worried about the whereabouts of the Jiuzhou Ding in the temple last night, so he took advantage of the time when the man was fighting with the people who came to steal the Ding to secretly sprinkle butterfly powder on him. It was very clever.

"Well done." Mu Hanxing gave her an affirmative look, and then looked again, Qi Baige was looking at the buns in her hand.

Mu Hanxing generously handed over the bun: "Here, eat it."

"Thank you, senior sister!" Qi Baige was really not shy with her and started to eat it after picking it up.

It seemed that Qi Baige had been chasing this person for the whole day. Although she was a cultivator, it was really uncomfortable for her to not have enough food or drink. She felt distressed for a moment, so she must have given the bun to her junior sister.

But...why did she feel more and more that she might be a big victim?

I worked so hard, but in the end I didn't get a single bite to eat.

"You thieves, how dare you come to the top of the tower to steal the burial objects of my ancestors! You have no conscience at all!" The man was still shouting.

Mu Hanxing walked over, looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you really a descendant of the Yun family? Is General Yun Hui your ancestor?"

"Of course! I am Yun Yao, the tenth generation successor of Yun Family Castle! Who are you?" Yun Yao asked.

Mu Hanxing explained, "We are Taoist priests who happened to pass by Huajing. We heard that this place was haunted, so we came to check it out. Now the evil spirit has been eliminated, and your ancestors continue to rest at the top of the tower."

"What!?" Yun Yao's eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded. He stood there staring at her like a fool.

After a while, he fell to the ground in panic, with a dull and frustrated look on his face: "Ancestor... he fell asleep again..."

"Why did you steal the Jiuzhou Ding here yesterday, and what does this have to do with General Yun Hui?" Mu Hanxing couldn't figure it out, so he continued to ask Yun Yao.

It turned out that on the rainy night yesterday, he lied that the city gates were closed and went into the dilapidated temple to avoid the rain. In fact, he wanted to take the Jiuzhou Ding away. However, he found that he was being watched halfway, so he decided to temporarily hide in a temple outside the city.

Yun Yao stared at the floor with his eyes blankly, and muttered to her: "I heard Jing Leizi say that Jiuzhou Ding is a magic weapon that can dispel evil spirits and eliminate all evil spirits... He also said that he would use it to eliminate the ancestors who appeared... I was furious for a moment... The ancestors finally appeared and were able to protect Huajing again. I can't let Jing Leizi drive the ancestors away!"

So that's what happened.

Qi Baige frowned, his face full of doubts, and then he said to Yun Yao solemnly: "I heard that the Jiuzhou Ding is a divine object that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It must be driven by the Son of Heaven. It is not something that can be used by just anyone. Besides, since it is so precious, how could it fall into the hands of Jing Leizi? The Jiuzhou Ding is most likely a fake... By the way, didn't you steal it? Where is the Ding?"

Qi Baige said this and walked forward and walked around Yun Yao. He didn't find any tripod on him, nor did he see any magic weapon that could store objects into the spiritual space.

After hearing this, Yun Yao's temper gradually subsided. After he calmed down, he took the time to carefully look at the people in front of him. The girl was like a fairy, and the boy was like a jade boy. They all had extraordinary temperament and graceful figures. How could they be thieves who came to steal the burial objects in the tower? Judging from their words and deeds, they did not seem like chivalrous men from the martial arts world. They really looked like people practicing Taoism. So he let down his guard and was willing to listen to them carefully.

"I managed to shake off those two men yesterday, but they had other fellow disciples to support them. Two more people came to surround me. I knew I couldn't beat four people, so in order to save my life, I had to temporarily throw the Jiuzhou Ding to them, and then ran away in the chaos." Yun Yao explained.

"Just give it to them. According to my junior sister, that thing is probably fake. It's not safe for you to carry it with you. Four people robbed you yesterday, and forty people will rob you tomorrow." Mu Hanxing analyzed it calmly for him, "Why make yourself a bull's eye? It's better to get rid of it and save your life. There's still a long way to go."

Because he was the descendant of General Yunhui, Mu Hanxing had some good feelings towards him, but not much.

"Lord City Lord." Jing Chen had just elegantly finished eating the bun in his hand, then he took out a small teapot from somewhere, poured himself some tea and called her in a gentle voice.

Mu Hanxing felt uncomfortable just by looking at him. He ate and drank well every day, lived a carefree and unconcerned life, which made her angry.

"Speak." She was fierce.

"I had the honor to take a glimpse of it in front of the tower yesterday, and I am convinced that the Jiuzhou Ding is a fake." Jingchen said.

"Oh?" Mu Hanxing raised his eyebrows, "How can you be sure that you have seen it before?"

Jing Chen said honestly, "Although I have never seen the real thing, as the girl just said, it is impossible for Jing Leizi to drive the Jiuzhou Ding with his cultivation and aptitude. Besides, I have also seen a simple drawing of the Ding in a Jiuzhou Miscellaneous Notes. It is different from the one I saw yesterday in many details."

"Are you serious?" Yun Yao was shocked after hearing this.

Mu Hanxing crossed her arms, lowered her eyebrows and looked at him coldly, "Wake up, what does it matter whether you take it seriously or not? Jiuzhou Ding is meaningless to you, because I just told you that the evil spirit of General Yunhui has been dispelled, and your ancestors are now resting peacefully on the top of the tower. What you said about the ancestors appearing to continue to bless Huajing is really ridiculous. The evil spirits and ghosts in this world are mostly because of the regrets left in the previous life, so they cannot return to the destiny of heaven, so after turning into evil spirits, it is impossible for them to protect the people."

Yun Yao's eyes were blank after hearing this. After a moment of relaxation, his eyes suddenly turned red. He said aggrievedly, "But... our Yun family has been in decline for several generations... The Yun family's Thunder Spear Technique was stolen once. It took great effort for my great grandfather to get it back from the thief at the cost of half his life. Later, there was a family infighting. In the end, I don't know who the secret book fell into... Since then, no one has inherited the Thunder Spear Technique. In my generation, the Yun family still can't even pass the exam to become a military officer..."

It’s true... each generation is worse than the previous one.

As the saying goes, wealth and glory cannot last for more than three generations. This is probably because many people can share adversity but cannot share wealth.
