"My name is Chu Yan, from the State Bureau of Special Criminal Cases." The gangster-looking young man said, grinning and showing his white teeth, "I came here today as Qi Shao's friend, you can do whatever you want, and don't worry about me. "

What do you mean don't care about you?This gathering of the four major families is attended by the core figures of each family. You are not even counted as the Qi family, and you are still a third-party force in the Xuanshu circle. Why don't you be ignored?

All the people in the conference hall did not answer Chu Yan's words, but all turned their attention to Qi Sanye, the head of the Qi family.

Third Master Qi opened his one eye full of shadows, but no one looked at him. He walked around the conference table without saying a word and walked to the empty seat in the row with Fang Xia and the others.The heir of the Qi family followed Third Master Qi and sat down next to Fu Jin, ignoring Chu Yan who claimed to be his friend.

The Qi family's attitude towards Chu Yan was not as friendly and intimate as he said.

Fang Xia glanced at Chu Yan who was left hanging at the door by the Qi family, and turned to look at the heir of the Qi family next door to Fu Jin.

The other party noticed his gaze, turned his head, and smiled at him gently, "Hello, I'm Qi Huailin."

"Hello, hello, my name is Fang Xia." Fang Xia said, twisting her body, half lying on the handle of the chair, leaning forward and stretching out her hand, shaking Qi Huailin through Fu Jin, and introducing him, "This is Fu Jin, my man... er, ghost."

Fu Jin ignored Qi Huailin's intentions, reached out and patted Fang Xia's back, and said in a low voice, "Sit down, it's so crooked, and I twisted my waist again after a while."

"How is it possible? It was an accident last time." Fang Xia argued like that, but he sat back in his chair as he said, and did not continue to talk to Qi Huailin.

Qi Huailin didn't care that the conversation was interrupted, he nodded politely to Fu Jin who was looking sideways, and then looked away.

It was his first time to attend the gathering of the four major families, but he should know, Mr. Qi had told him before coming, including Fu Jin, the thousand-year-old ghost raised by the Geng family.It's just that Li Gui's intimate attitude towards the heir of the Geng family surprised him a little.

Just as Fang Xia was sitting up, he looked up at the door again and found that Chu Yan was no longer there.Fang Xia turned his gaze and found Chu Yan in the corner on the right by the window.There were several spare chairs in that corner, and he took out one of the chairs, grabbed the hollow beam of the chair quilt with one hand, easily lifted the solid wooden chair, and strode over.

He walked up to Qi Huailin and stood still, then cheekily asked Qi Huailin to move the chair, and under the eyes of everyone, he squeezed into the space between Fu Jin and Qi Huailin and sat down.

Fang Xia felt that she had a thick skin, but this one was obviously better.He followed the Qi family to the gathering place of the four major families with a shameless face, not to mention, and under the gazes of the people who were definitely not welcome, he just moved the chair and took a seat.

Chu Yan sat down, raised his legs, put them down again, and then put on a two-legged pose.Looking at the range of his leg-lifting movements, Fang Xia felt that this person must have wanted to put his feet directly on the table, but he realized that it was inappropriate halfway through, so he reluctantly changed to crossing his legs.Although this man is out of shape and has a gangster look on his body, even with his legs crossed, his back is still straight, just like when he was standing before—it looks like loose pants, look carefully You can see that his back is as straight as a benchmark.

This person probably came out of the army, right?

Fang Xia was watching Chu Yan guess, when he turned his head and looked over.

Chu Yan looked at Fang Xia, squeezed his eyes, and said, "I'm from the State Bureau of Special Criminal Cases."

Fang Xia was inexplicable: "I know! Didn't you just say that?"

Chu Yan: "Are you Fang Xia? I am a colleague of your second senior brother."

Fang Xia: "..." Is this an attempt to get close?

But—brother, it's almost useless for you to play with an heir to a vase!The vase has no right to speak!

"...I see." Fang Xia nodded, indicating that he had written it down, and when the other party was about to say something, he turned his head back.

Just as Chu Yan opened his mouth, he closed it resentfully.People in this mysterious art circle are really more difficult to deal with than one another, and they have no human touch at all.

From when Chu Yan entered the door to when he was seated, it took only 5 minutes. No one else made a sound, but the matter was roughly understood.

People from the State Bureau of Special Criminal Cases have been trying to contact the four of them, trying to establish a cooperative relationship with them and increase their influence in the Xuanshu circle.The Geng family and the Ren family have clearly rejected it, and the Gu family has not yet given an answer. As for the Qi family—now it seems that they are considering accepting cooperation with the Criminal Bureau.

If he had no intention of cooperating with the Criminal Case Bureau, then no matter how hard Chu Yan was, he would never have followed the Qi family into this villa.No matter how capable the other party is, he is just an ordinary person outside the circle. With Mr. Qi's ability, can he not get rid of him?

Although the Qi family's attitude towards Chu Yan was indifferent, it was the Qi family's tacit approval that he could come in. This is a fact.And this fact has shown that the Qi family intends to cooperate with the criminal case bureau.

It's not surprising that the Qi family would have such thoughts. In recent years, the Qi family has been in a weak state among the four families, especially when the heir of the Geng family fell into a demon last year.The Geng family lost its heir and suffered heavy losses, but the original head of the Qi family also fell into evil ways and died in the end.Afterwards, the Qi family could hardly find anyone who could support the appearance, so they could only push out the withdrawn and elderly Qi Sanye as the head of the family temporarily.

However, the embarrassment of the Qi family was not resolved simply because the third master Qi took over as the head of the family.The third master Qi is already old, and he won't be able to hold the position of Patriarch for long. Among the descendants of the Qi family, he can't find a capable heir - the situation is even more embarrassing than that of the Geng family.The Geng family lacked the ability to guard Fu Jin's juniors, so they were not so demanding, and they could actually find quite a few talented people.

Now that the successor of the Qi family has finally been decided, it is not clear what his ability is, but he looks too young, younger than the heir of the Geng family. It seems that he can support the Qi family by himself before the third master Qi resigns. Reliable.In this case, it is indeed a good choice to cooperate with the criminal case bureau.Although it may be criticized by the insiders, at least there is no need to worry too much about the black-hearted retaliation of the partners.

Wanting to understand Third Master Qi's intentions, the Patriarch of the Gu family exchanged glances with the Patriarchs of Ren and Geng. Seeing that they had no objection to Chu Yan's stay, he asked the people guarding outside the conference hall to close the door.

Qi Sanye's seniority is the highest among them, and they can be regarded as selling his old man's face.What's more, it doesn't hurt to let the people from the Criminal Case Bureau know about what they are going to discuss today, maybe they can accidentally borrow the help from the Criminal Case Bureau.

"Patriarch Geng, let's start." Patriarch Gu said.

Geng Chongzhi moved the wooden square box in front of him, opened the lid, and took out the black tiger-shaped stone inside—it was the sacrificial stone that was taken from the octagonal wooden pagoda in Xushui Town a few days ago.

"Patriarch Gu, please take a look." Geng Zhongzhi got up and handed the sacrificial stone to Patriarch Gu who was opposite.

The Patriarch of the Gu family took it, and after reading it, passed it to Gu Yin who was next to him, and Gu Yin passed it to Ren Shaoze, and the people around the conference table passed it on one after another.When the sacrificial stone was handed to Chu Yan, he watched it the longest, and even took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the sacrificial stone before handing it to Fu Jin.

It was inconvenient for Fu Jin to touch the sacrificial stone, so he turned his head to look at Fang Xia. Fang Xia tacitly got up and took the sacrificial stone from Chu Yan's hand, and held it in his hand to watch with Fu Jin.

This sacrificial stone was colder than he had imagined, and it felt like jade to the touch.Fang Xia turned the sacrificial stone around, and found two small characters in seal script engraved on the bottom of the tiger-shaped front paw.Fang Xia University has learned some ancient characters in his major, and these two characters in seal script are not difficult to recognize. He adjusted his direction and looked for a while, and then recognized them.

"Kaiyang?"

"That's right, this sacrificial stone is called Kaiyang." Ren Shaoze said, looking at Geng Zhongzhi, "This is indeed the real thing, one of the legendary set of mountain sacrificial stones."

"Is there a set of these sacrificial stones?" Fang Xia returned the sacrificial stones to Geng Zhongzhi, looked at Ren Shaoze and asked.

"That's right, this set is called Kaishan Sacrificial Stones, and there are seven pieces in total, named after the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Yaoguang, and Kaiyang." Ren Shaoze said , "About these seven sacrificial stones, there are records in the files of our four families, you can go back and look for it."

He, the heir to the vase, can't see the files of the Geng family.

"Since it's named after the Big Dipper, why is it called Kaishan Sacrifice Stone instead of Beidou Sacrifice Stone?" Fang Xia continued to ask while grabbing Ren Shaoze.

"Because these seven sacrificial stones are different from ordinary sacrificial stones." Ren Shaoze turned the teacup in front of him and said slowly, "Ordinary sacrificial stones are used to suppress Yin and evil spirits, but these seven sacrificial stones in a set open a mountain gate key."

"Which place is the mountain gate?"

"I don't know exactly where it is." Ren Shaoze said, "According to the records in the file, that place may be a place where treasures are hidden, it may be a large tomb, or it may be an ancient sacrificial place. In short, it is said to be The place where you can find supreme treasures or exquisite magic tools was called the legacy at that time, and this rumor swept through the mystical circle seven or eight hundred years ago."

At that time, it was not the four major families that stood at the top of the Xuanshu circle, but the six major families.In addition to the current four families of Gu, Ren, Geng, and Qi, there is also the Wang family who is good at spells, and the Zhang family who have been fighting for generations.According to the records in the file, after the six major families confirmed the authenticity of the treasure rumors, they agreed to join forces to find the treasure in that mysterious place.

The people of the six major families spent a lot of time and finally found the location of the legacy.After various investigations, they found the necessary mountain sacrificial stones, brought the elite team of the family, and headed to the leftover area together.
