So What If You've Been Reborn?

Chapter 8 Muddy Waters

Houses of aristocratic families gather in one place, and usually no commoners come over. Between the tall courtyard walls, several quiet and deep alleys are formed vertically and horizontally. The bluestone paved roads are cleaned and tidy by the servants.

The gate with the plaque of the Chen Mansion opened slowly, and a young man walked out surrounded by servants with a whip in his hand.

He glanced suspiciously at the end of the deep alley, a few fallen leaves were blown to the ground by the wind, and there was no sound.

When the entourage brought him a horse, the man said inadvertently: "Recently, the mansion has been a bit uneasy. You should strictly guard the door, and don't let some Xiaoxiao take advantage of the loopholes."

The guards nodded quickly, but there was some doubt and fear in their eyes.

In recent days, strange things have happened to the Chen family one after another. The roof tiles have fallen for no reason, the fruits in the kitchen have disappeared, the maid saw floating white shadows in the backyard in the middle of the night, the old lady of the Chen family was seriously ill in bed, and the family members were panicked.

The man got on his horse and left with his followers.

After he left, only two servants whispered: "Do you think the young master is going to the Qiuye Temple to invite eminent monks to do the practice, or to find the Taoist priest in Huangxuan Temple to exorcise evil spirits?"

"Should be quite clever, no matter who it is, hurry up and collect the evil spirits here!"

"laugh."

With a chuckle, the boys were so startled that they almost turned into quails.

"Little Six, you, did you hear anything?"

"It's a ghost laughing, Buddha!" ​​A young servant knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

The people squatting on the eaves of the Chen family gate and on the courtyard wall showed bored expressions. Their boundaries were clearly defined, half of them looked gloomy and cold, while the other side was sanctimonious.

The servant below panicked and looked around, unable to see them.

"It's already the seventh day, and you demon cultivators haven't figured it out yet, who is the master of fire in the stone?"

"To each other." A shriveled old woman smiled slyly, with a blue scorpion lying on her face wrinkled like tree bark, she rolled her eyes and said, "The Heluo sect is good at Zhouyi gossip, and they are famous and authentic, so they must have known In the end, why didn't you ask, but stayed here with us instead?"

The old men who were dressed in the most dusty clothes on the opposite side were choked up, with embarrassing expressions.

——The Golden Core has not yet been completed, and it is only one foot into the door of the cultivation world. What face is there to inquire about news from famous sects?Usually it's fine to follow along, but now if you want to get lucky, you can only squat around Chen's house to guard.

There has always been a strange phenomenon in the world of comprehension, people who have attained the Tao do not care much about their image.The more ordinary people are, in order to increase their strength and save face, they must search for robes painted with talisman formations, wear magic weapons with powerful aura, and wrap themselves tightly.

Looking at the colorful appearance of these people standing together, one can tell that there are no big people inside.

Demon cultivators are also similar, there is no need for the prestigious generation to squat here, shouting and shouting will naturally have the effect of flattery.

"Once the fire in the stone overflows, the entire Yunzhou City will be over! I still have time to get out, I'm afraid the monsters and monsters will be frightened!" Losing people does not lose, and someone on the right side immediately made a sarcasm.

"Nonsense!" Granny Poison Scorpion scolded angrily, "Don't be hypocritical and think we don't know? You are lucky, even if you don't get the fire from the stone, you can easily save ordinary people in Yunzhou City. This great merit, It’s useless for the devil to do it, but you are eyeing it with sinister intentions!”

"What do you mean by that! The fire in the stone is not ours to let it recognize its owner, and it has nothing to do with us if it bursts!"

"Jie Jie, if you really want to cherish the common people, you should show up and drive this family out of the mansion, and let the governor of Yunzhou move the people out of the city!"

"It's nonsense! You also know that Yunzhou is the capital of a county with a large population, so how can it be said to be accommodating. It is not easy to let the people leave their homes willingly. If nothing happens in the end, who can afford such a big fight!"

Granny Poison Scorpion stopped arguing, but just sneered: "All the great sects have arrived, and in my opinion, we can't make any money, so we might as well leave as soon as possible!" After speaking, ignoring everyone's reaction, she floated down the courtyard wall, limping and turning leave.

At this time, a group of people happened to come to the alley, carrying a small box, surrounded by a young man in a brocade robe, as if they were going to visit Chen's residence.

"Wait!" Young Master Jin Pao suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at the Chen Mansion at the end of the alley.

"My son, what's the matter with you?"

The older attendant looked respectful, but in reality he was extremely impatient.

This son of his own family didn't know what happened. He was bedridden due to an accident of falling from a horse a month ago. After waking up, he spent a lot of money begging for Ganoderma lucidum, and then pestered his wife that he wanted to come to Yunzhou Mansion.The girl from the Li family who had made a decision didn't pay any attention to it, but the wife didn't agree, so she ran out with someone without authorization.

After entering Yunzhou City, as soon as he entered the inn, he said that he would visit the Chen family from the previous generation. On the way, he met a young man, and he insisted that the other person was the young master of the Chen family.It's a joke, who doesn't know that the Chen family's lineage is weak, the old lady has only one grandson, Chen Mi, and she is already married when she is too young.

The Patriarch of the Chen family had vaguely heard that there was a son who drowned in the pond. The Chen family invited many doctors and alchemists, but they were not cured. It is said that he died when he was six years old——

The entourage thought of the shock here, and couldn't help thinking 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 wall 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, and it would be inappropriate to visit now, why not..."

"shut up!"

Young Master Jin Pao's face turned ashen.

In his last life, although he was lucky enough to step into the immortal sect, he was still in charge of the outer sect of a small faction until his death, that is, he was in charge of a group of sweepers, water carriers, and woodcutters. pieces.

He has only been back for a month now, and the exercises and formulas he remembers are only a little better than nothing. He has practiced hard for a hundred years in his previous life.It's not a matter of his talent, but the effect of the introductory mental method.

Now it is even more mortal with the naked eye, unable to see through the cultivators guarding the Chen family mansion.

However, even the young servants of the Chen family could detect the strange aura, how could Mr. Jin Pao not notice it?

——This densely packed, seems to only surround the strange feeling of the Chen residence.

The pupils shrank suddenly, and Young Master Jin Pao blurted out a curse:

"Damn! How is this possible, not two years later..."

It should be two years later, when the idiot of the Chen family was 19 years old, did the magician discover the fire in the stone in the pond of the Chen family!

Shi Zhonghuo was already the greatest opportunity he knew. After Chen Ho obtained Shi Zhonghuo, he became a leader in magic cultivators and one of the six great masters in just a hundred years.Before that, Chen He was a fool who couldn't read all the words. When he was beaten by the hooligans in Akiba Temple, he shivered so much that he didn't dare to cry out. It's just that he was born with good luck. Fire in the stone!

Young Master Jin Pao gritted his teeth loudly, his face was a bit ferocious.

——He came two years earlier, why was Shi Zhonghuo discovered by the cultivation world?

The poisonous scorpion mother-in-law, who was invisible and slowly left, noticed something strange, and immediately stared at her suspiciously.

Young Master Jinpao felt a cold chill on the back of his neck, and he immediately knew that he was being targeted by a high-level demon cultivator.Now that the matter has come to this point, he understands that Shi Zhonghuo is very difficult to get.

If you don't do anything, just make the water more muddy first, maybe he still has a chance!

Taking a deep breath, the young man in brocade robe raised his head and calmed down, and said to his followers nonchalantly, "I'm indeed a little tired, but we've all come here, so we'll turn around and go back. It won't be right after all if someone from the Chen family sees it. Hand it over first." For invitations and gifts, just visit the door another day."

This made sense, the attendant had no choice but to suppress his doubts, and followed Mr. Jinpao to the gate of the Chen residence.

"A disciple of the Yao family in Linshui, passing through Yunzhou, came here to pay a visit to our family friend."

Young Master Jinpao looked at the young servant of the Chen family who reluctantly came up to greet him with a pale face, and casually said: "I saw your young master lost in the street, so I was going to greet you..."

"My lord, there is no young master in the Chen family!" The attendant hurriedly reminded, "Everyone said they admitted their mistakes, and the young master died a long time ago!"

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when the doorkeeper heard this, he was at a loss at first, and then his face turned pale.

The servants of the aristocratic family rarely buy from outside. These young men are still young. Although they have never seen Chen He, they have also heard about the death of the only son of the patriarch. It's just that the Chen family didn't mention Chen He for a long time, and they didn't think about it for a while. stand up.

Didn't this young master happen in the pond in the backyard?What about the backyard haunting lately?

"This... I saw that young master looked similar to Chen Shixiong, so I thought—" Jinpao young master sighed and asked again, "I only heard that your young master drowned in a pond at the age of three and hit a stone. Although he was confused, he was rescued, when did he die? I am in Linshui, so I don’t know the slightest bit.”

The guard at the door accepted the greeting card and the gift, said a few vague words, and sent the unexpected guest away, wiping off his sweat, muttering to each other that Mr. Yao is too presumptuous, how can anyone ask about this at the door of someone's house, and that the child who died young is not good , Even the genealogy cannot be entered, and no family will notify family friends about this funeral.

"How did he die?" a voice asked.

"Who knows how it died, the one in the deep mountains and wild places may have been carried away by wolves."

"How did that little baby die?" Another gloomy voice.

"After all that, why ask—ah? Who, who is talking." The boys were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they all sat down on the ground. Suddenly, they found that the steps were covered with poisonous scorpions, and some of them fainted from shock.

"Tell the mother-in-law carefully." The poisonous scorpion mother-in-law picked up a servant to threaten.

"Help!"

"Hurry up!" The practitioners on the wall also came.

The Chen family had strict rules, and it was the first time they had heard of this after squatting for seven days.

"Forgive me, I say! The head of the family has a child who was playing by the pond when he was three years old. He was so stupid when he drowned and hit a stone..."

"What stone, did it bleed? Is there a lot of blood?" Everyone asked eagerly.

The little guy was out of his mind, so he could only beg for mercy: "I don't know, this is all... more than ten years ago!"

"What about the little doll? If you are born, you must see people. If you die, you must see corpses. Where are the corpses buried?"

"The Chen family went to offer incense in the mountains, and when they came back, they said that the young master was lost. How can there be a grave?"

Before they finished listening, a group of cultivators ran away halfway. They took the news to the Dazong sect, and they could get acquainted with each other without exchanging benefits. The same is true for magic cultivators.

"The child is probably not dead, and has returned to the city, please notify the Demon Venerable!"

"Search the whole city!"

Granny Poison Scorpion's eyes flickered, and she quietly went after Mr. Yao. She felt that there was something wrong with him, and she had ulterior motives to expose this matter at the door of Chen's house so coincidentally.

***

At this moment, Chen He, who was about to enter the restaurant with his senior brother, suddenly paused and stared at the man passing by with his entourage on horseback. The latter also noticed the handsome young man on the street, and looked down suspiciously.

When they made eye contact, both of them were startled.

Chen He just felt a little familiar, but the man's heart was already roaring like the world was collapsing.

——How could he forget the appearance of the cousin who killed the whole family!

In the middle of the night that day, corpses were lying inside and outside the Chen family's house, and even the thrush on the corridor died in the cage.

Frightened, Chen Mi ran into the backyard and wanted to hide in the firewood room, but suddenly fell to the ground with a pain in his back, and only heard someone talking.

"I killed so many, why haven't I found it yet? Are you sure it's in this mansion?"

"Not wrong, it must be here—"

Before the words finished, a loud shout came from a distance: "I found it, it's that fool!"

The person lying on the ground struggled to open his blood-blurred eyes, and suddenly red flames emerged from the pond. The last thing Chen Mi felt was the scorching flames, which were endless. die.

Chen Mi couldn't make a scream, so she sat up in horror and found that she was still ten years old.

The private school teacher scolded Chen Mi for being lazy and sleeping in class, and the idiot stood aside with a brush in his hands.

It was those eyes that just watched him turn into ashes without emotion in the flames.

——He remembered that the flames went straight to Chen He, wrapped Chen He in it, and burned everything around him.

Chen Mi's eyes were red, and the hand holding the rein trembled in anger.

That ghost is not dead, that scourge is back! !
