My very cool daughter-in-law

It is normal for mystics with a certain level of cultivation to live longer than ordinary people, but there is an upper limit to the range of this "longness", it is not endless.

Even if mystical psychics have cultivated their physical bodies to the extreme, they are still human beings. If everyone's life is regarded as a progress bar, these people with supernatural powers are just progressing a little slower than ordinary people.There are even some people who walk in yin and yang all year round, and what they do will inevitably involve their own yin and yang lifespan. For such a part of people, their progress bar is not only not slow, but also faster than ordinary people.

There are not a few mystic masters who die early in their prime after using the mystic art.

And even if a mystic master acts upright all the year round, never deviates from his thoughts, and doesn't easily touch evil magic, then his life span in this life can only be more than twice that of an ordinary person.

If you want to break through to the top, you must use some... not so glorious means.

In Xiaoqiu's memory, the great elder of the Chi family happened not to be someone who was born with a special physique like him and had an extraordinary talent in longevity.

On the contrary, the other party should have reached the end of a psychic's life back then, and the world was turbulent, and several migrations had also greatly affected that person.

It's just that 100 years later, this person is still panting. It's hard not to be surprised.

"Do you suspect that he also used some shady means?" Zou He tried to summarize and analyze the words of the other three.

The receptionist of the Chi family, who was still tied to the ground, glared at him immediately: "You are slandering!"

"Whether it is slander or not is up to you." Huaihe thought this person was a bit noisy, so he rapped on the side of the other's neck.

The receptionist was forced to silence.

They looked at Sheng Xun and Xiao Qiu one after another.

Sheng Xun said: "Check here again carefully, and the answer will be revealed."

Chi Dezheng, the chief elder of the Chi family who is dedicated to "suppressing evil", must have never imagined that the evil-suppressing hall he carefully prepared would actually provide clues to the "evil things" he wanted to suppress.

According to the receptionist's previous explanation, the arrangement of the Chi family's Zhenxie Hall, the magic circle runes placed here, and others, etc., were all set up under the instruction of the Great Elder Chi Dezheng, and everything has passed through The other party audits.

This also means that behind every arrangement here is the thinking and calculation of the other party.

A layman might not be able to understand it, but for an expert—such as Xiaoqiu, Huaihe, and Sheng Xun who has regained his memory, they can use these things to piece together information.

The setting time and effectiveness of the magic circle can roughly infer the designer's thoughts at that time.

Introduce ideas first, then ask the other party's ideas, and then continue to introduce the situation that the other party may face at that time, and grasp the logical chain of the other party.

"My barrier can last for a while longer," Xiaoqiu said.

"But we can't delay too long, it's better to divide the labor." Sheng Xun understood what Xiaoqiu meant.

With the next sentence, he turned to Huai He and Zou He, and asked them to stay outside with the Chi family member and be responsible for the inspection outside.

He and Xiao Qiu went into the house and were responsible for checking the interior.

Zhenxie Hall has cut off contact with the outside world, and outsiders can't enter the small courtyard for the time being. No matter how slow the Chi family's reaction is, they should realize that something is wrong sooner or later. The time left for Sheng Xun and the others is not leisurely.

And taking a step back, even if the Chi family is really too confident and too slow, and completely unaware of their "backyard fire", there is still the Chu family in the living room, Chu Kui, Chu Shi, Chu Shangyi who cares about Sheng Xun public.

Just seeing Sheng Xun lingering after being taken away by the Chi family, the Chi family receptionist who took Sheng Xun away remained silent, and after that, Zou He also disappeared without a trace.

I'm afraid that after a while, the Chu family will take the lead in finding someone.

"Is it okay for the two of you to go to the inner room?" Huaihe hesitated to speak since he got the division of labor.

Seeing that Sheng Xun was about to lead Xiaoqiu to turn around the wooden screen separating the inside and the outside, he couldn't help asking again: "How about...or should Zou He and I go inside and you look outside?" Huai He suggested hesitantly.

"I have to go and see it." Sheng Xun answered him.

Xiaoqiu didn't say anything about it, just stood beside Sheng Xun quietly.

So Sheng Xun looked sideways at Xiaoqiu again.

From Zou He's point of view, he felt that the taller young man should have held the other person's hand.

"It's okay." Sheng Xun said in a soothing tone.

Xiao Qiu finally nodded.

In the inner room of Zhenxie Hall, there is something that everyone has been avoiding intentionally or unintentionally since they stepped into this room.

They all knew it was here, and they all kept silent about its existence for a long time. No one took the initiative to mention it before Sheng Xun.

Because I don't know how to mention it.

In the middle of the inner room stood a coffin surrounded by three rings of candles.

There is a dark red platform under it, suspended above the ground, and the ground at the bottom is painted with complex lines of spells with cinnabar mixed with black dog's blood.

Inside the coffin were Chi Muqing's remains.

living room.

The guests were still talking, and the hall looked lively.

But just as Sheng Xun expected, he had been away with Chi's reception for a long time, and the Chu family began to become suspicious, and couldn't wait any longer.

"Why hasn't Sheng Xun come back yet?" Chu Kui asked with a worried expression on his face, "Even if Zhenxie Hall is quite a distance from the living room, it will take a while to walk there, but I will calculate when he leaves... ...Is it enough to go back and forth from here to Zhenxie Hall?"

Next to him, Chu Shi had the same thoughts as Chu Kui.

There was also Zou He who was also missed by junior Chu Shang. He grabbed Chu Shang's arm and told him: "Little uncle hasn't come back yet."

About four to ten minutes after Sheng Xun left with Chi's family, Zou He suddenly looked embarrassed, asked where the bathroom was, and then left the living room.

The reason of "going to the bathroom" is the most commonplace but reasonable, no one will suspect anything because an ordinary guest wants to go to the bathroom.

...But if the gentleman goes to the bathroom for a long time, it seems to fall in the toilet, not necessarily.

"I'll ask someone to ask." Chu Shang frowned.

Two seconds later, he suddenly remembered something, and changed his words again: "No, wait, it's best for you to go directly to Mr. Zou's side, and bring someone to follow you. I'll go to the Chi family to ask Sheng Xun's side."

The reason why Chu Shang changed his mind was the entrustment of his elders.

The full name of the elder of the Chu family is Chu Shize. When the convoy of the older generation of the Chu family just arrived at Chi’s house, just because they caught a glimpse of Sheng Xun in the corridor outside the living room, the old man lost his composure and his expression changed drastically. clear meaning.

Afterwards, the old man stopped chasing people, and he didn’t make too much trouble for himself, but he sent his juniors to fetch old things, looked at a pocket watch again and again, and even got up suddenly halfway, and asked the people who wanted to talk to him They all stared blankly.

"But everything related to Sheng Xun must be handled by someone you can trust."

At that time, the old man dismissed the people around him in a few words, and he only excused himself by saying that he was getting old and couldn't sit still looking at old things.

When there were no other people on both sides, only the trustworthy Chu family was left, Chu Shang was called to the front, and the old elder personally told him a few words.

"Of course, it's best for you to ask questions in person, because your insight has always been better than others, and your predictions for many variables are more accurate." The old man said at the time, "If any abnormalities are found, the Chi family will treat Sheng If there is any subtle change in Xun's attitude, you must keep in mind that the Chu family will unconditionally protect Sheng Xun, and try to find a way to pass the news of the changes in the Chi family to me as soon as possible."

When Chu Shang listened to the first half of the old elder's instructions, he still looked calm. To be honest, even if he didn't specifically instruct him, he felt in his heart that "letting someone trustworthy handle it" should be done.

However, when he heard the phrase "The Chu family will protect Sheng Xun unconditionally", not only Chu Shang, but also the other Chu family members on both sides were taken aback for a moment.

"We want to..." Unconditionally defend Sheng Xun?

Chu Shang almost blurted out the question.

"Unconditional" is really hard not to be confusing.

The old elder obviously understood the younger generation's doubts very well, and also knew that what he said would make his family confused.

The old man Chu Shize closed his eyes for a moment in his seat, holding the pocket watch in his other hand that was still on his lap, and slowly rubbing the watch cover.

"This is a family order." The old elder said after a while.

He first determined the nature of his words, and directly made those words have the effect of family orders.

Then, the old man's tone was gentler, he raised his hand holding the pocket watch, and opened the watch cover, so that every nearby Chu family could clearly see the photos in the pocket watch.

"It's inconvenient to say more about the specific situation for the time being. We are on the territory of the Chi family, and we need you to return to your respective positions soon, and we cannot gather for a long time."

"But I can tell you first, I didn't know for sure until I saw Sheng Xun with my own eyes-this is an old family member."

"And 'my generation of clansmen, whoever sees their deity, must unconditionally protect and support the cause of the other party', this clan order was not initiated by me on the spot today, it has existed for at least a hundred years, I was just shocked today Now, we meet again by chance, and here we pick up the family order again and announce its continuation of validity."

The old elder only said a few words like this, and then motioned everyone to return to their positions.

Sheng Xun's position in the Chu family was suddenly elevated in a few words, even though Chu Shang felt that what the old man said brought up more problems, such as——

Why is this family order actually a hundred years old?Why is Sheng Xun an old friend of their family?

If he remembered correctly, Sheng Xun should be the senior of their younger brother Chu Shi, and he is still in the senior year of internship this year and hasn't graduated yet, right?At such a young age, he is an old friend of their family a hundred years ago... Is this really reasonable?

There are so many questions, but they cannot be answered.

However, Chu Shang is worthy of others' evaluation of him, he is indeed the one with the quickest thinking and outstanding insight among the younger generation.

All these unreasonable things were mixed together. He tried to integrate many seemingly unreasonable information, and then realized that this matter may have a very long history. "Nearly 100 years" is the time when this matter should be traced back. the term.

In addition, the old elder has always been ambiguous towards the Chi family, and today he found out that Sheng Xun was an "old friend", but he immediately showed his defense against the Chi family.

Chu Shang had a vague guess in his mind, and he also intuited that Sheng Xun might be related to the division of the Chi and Chu families back then.

The younger brothers' authority at home is not as high as that of Chu Shang. They only know that the old elder also likes Sheng Xun very much and asks the family to maintain Sheng Xun. They don't know that the old man has said such a long series of meaningful words.

Chu Shang asked Chu Shi to go to Zou He in person, just in case, and he also ordered a person with good skills to go with his younger brother.

Chu Kui followed when Chu Shang went to handover with Chi's family, thinking that he should also contribute to the matter of caring about Sheng Xun.

What no one expected was that Chu Shang had just brought Chu Kui into the hall before Mr. Chu stepped out of the door of the living room.

The accident happened so suddenly.

"Bang!"

It sounded like a heavy object hitting the ground on the second floor. It was so loud that everyone on the first floor raised their heads reflexively.

The Chi family's living room has two floors in total. The first floor is a spacious lobby plus elegant rooms on both sides, which can accommodate hundreds of guests. The second floor is relatively quiet, with a terrace and soft seats by the window.

At this moment, because almost all the guests have arrived, the people staying in the downstairs lobby are basically young people like Chu Shang, and the old people from various families have already shown their faces in the living room. Was led upstairs to rest and chat.

"What happened?"

"what?"

"Go up and have a look."

The lobby on the first floor was noisy, and some people had already started walking towards the stairs.

But there was a flurry of footsteps upstairs.

Someone rushed down from upstairs at a faster speed.

It was a member of the Chi family, who seemed to be the entourage of the elder of the Chi family. This person directly passed the stairwell, and those who stopped to see him coming down also ignored the voices asking him about the situation above.

He strode like a meteor, almost rushing to where Chi's family was.

"The Great Elder's cane is broken!" the man said to Chi's family.

His voice was also a little anxious, his voice was tense, and his face was covered with a layer of anxiety.

People from several other houses nearby heard him hurriedly said: "Where are the people on duty at Zhenxie Hall? Whose shift is it today?! If there is an accident over there, no one can give early warning?!"

The Chi family exploded immediately.

There happened to be Chu's family in the other family nearby. This Chu family turned around and was about to report to the family, so they turned around and didn't take two steps, almost bumping their heads into Chu Shang's arms.

"Brother Shang, the Chi family..."

"I heard it." Chu Shang quickly interrupted the other party, and he said, "Leave a few people here to guard the elder, and the rest will follow me directly. We will go to Zhenxie Hall immediately."

In the best seat upstairs, the elder of the Chi family, who was sitting at the top, was still staring at his hand.

His walking stick had been broken for a while, and the tip of the stick on the top just fell off with a "click", and fell to the ground like an iron mound, shocking everyone in the audience.

Chu Shize's position was only a little lower than Chi Dezheng's. Among the old people with strange faces, he swept his eyes across the messy ground, and then looked at the stiff-faced elder of the Chi family.

"Brother Dezheng." Chu Shize said inexplicably, "Your cane is like yours. It has been in seclusion for decades, and you don't show it easily. Why is it so rare today?"

However, Chi Dezheng didn't seem to hear anyone's question at all, he was still staring at his cane, his face was deeply marked by the years, and his cheeks that were no longer plump seemed to have two pieces of dead bark hanging down.

Someone looked carefully at the side and found that his face was still trembling slightly.

"...It's on, it's on." Chi Dezheng murmured nervously.

He raised his head suddenly, but his protruding eyes widened, he opened his drooping eyelids, and asked in a hissing voice, "Who? Who is in the Zhenxie Hall?"

Chi Dezheng's cane is closely related to the magic circle in Zhenxie Hall, which can be regarded as an external connection device of the magic circle.

The cane was broken, the head of the cane was damaged, and outsiders looked puzzled, but the Chi family could immediately understand——

The magic circle drawn under the coffin in Zhenxie Hall was broken.

Rewind the time a little, about 10 minutes ago in Zhenxie Hall.

Xiao Qiu's hand was already lightly pressing on the edge of the coffin, he turned his head to confirm with Sheng Xun: "Are you really going to open it?"

There is his own remains in the coffin, Xiaoqiu didn't care about it before, he walked around the world in the form of a ghost for many years, even if Huaihe said that his body was still there, and he stayed in Chi's house, he seemed to be okay Obsession or feeling, let alone wanting to find the remains immediately, so that my body can return to its roots.

The body is just a shell in the eyes of the soul. After so many years, Xiaoqiu can even take it as a matter of course.

...but today everything is different.

Today, Sheng Xun is by his side.

Here is Lin Junsheng who has just regained his memory.

And Xiaoqiu was about to open the coffin, so that Lin Junsheng could see the body that belonged to Chi Muqing that he had long since left.

It was really hard not to make him hesitate.

"I might..." Xiaoqiu tried her best to search for words, but she seemed to have no reason to dissuade her.

Because he and Sheng Xun had found a lot of clues in the house just now, and when they finally found it, they realized that the most critical one should be in the coffin, and they needed to open the coffin to check with his remains.

He knew he should have been quicker, and he knew they had limited time.

but……

"Maybe I'm not very good-looking." Xiao Qiu finally said after thinking for a long time.

Sheng Xun didn't urge him, and he didn't care about the wandering of the ghost before getting the final clue.

Sheng Xun waited until the ghost had finished speaking, then he shook his head and reached out to hold Xiao Qiu's other hand hanging by his side.

"No." Sheng Xun said, he held Xiao Qiu's hand warmly and firmly.

"I want to see you." Sheng Xun looked into Xiaoqiu's eyes.

The coffin was finally opened.

With just a wave of his hand, Xiao Qiu easily broke through the runes that Chi's family had worked so hard to draw, and the coffin lid slowly moved under the action of his power.

He made a small stop when Sheng Xun looked down, and Sheng Xun was pulled by the wrist.

But at that time, Sheng Xun's gaze had already dropped.

His movements of looking into the coffin were so natural, without the slightest fear or hesitation of seeing a century-old bone.

"I saw you." Sheng Xun said softly, and he continued to hold Xiao Qiu's hand.

It's been so long.

Lin Junsheng saw Chi Muqing again.
