At this moment, Ji Xingyuan's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

"what happened?!"

And when he heard his angry voice, all the guards next to him trembled, lowered their heads, and did not dare to vent their breath. Only the leader answered bravely:

"Returning to the First Elder, as you can see, the Fourth Elder is dead."

"What I want to ask is, why did the Fourth Elder die?!"

Ji Xingyuan's eyes were like torches, and his angry eyes shot at the leader.

"Also, what about the corpse? Why is there only one head?"

That's right, in front of everyone's eyes, there is only one pale and terrifying head, which is quietly placed on the altar under the Buddha statue, against the background of faint candlelight, bright red blood flows along the edge of the altar Drop by drop.

The Four Elders advocate Buddhism, so they built a Buddhist hall in the mansion. At this moment, the tall and gilded Buddha statue with a peaceful face and drooping eyes seems to be looking at the terrifying head on the altar with compassionate eyes. The picture is really scary.

The leader lowered his head, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and hurriedly replied: "The corpse of the fourth elder is under investigation."

The voice fell, and a shout suddenly came from not far away: "Found it!"

When everyone looked over subconsciously, they saw a guard running over, but they didn't see the headless corpse they imagined. When the guard got closer, everyone's eyes moved down involuntarily and landed on the guard's hand .

A severed arm.

As if he had guessed something, but also as if he hadn't guessed anything, that kind of chill that in vain erupted from the soles of his feet and spread to his whole body.

However, the guard's words completely confirmed their inner guess.

"I found an arm of the Fourth Elder!"

Sure enough, if this is the case, are the other parts, like this broken arm, divided into several parts and scattered all over the place?

Just thinking of this, everyone gasped in unison.

The remaining elders were all here, including First Elder Ji Xingyuan, Second Elder Ji Changlin, Third Elder Ji Fengjun, and the last remaining Seventh Elder.

The Seventh Elder was the only woman among the ten elders, her face turned pale and her fingertips tightened at this moment.

It took half a day to find all the body parts of the four elders, and they were placed in the center of the Buddhist hall, like tattered dolls put together, and the timid disciples dare not look directly at them.

However, the eyes of the four elders fell on the torso of the corpse. There was a piece of white paper pasted on it. It had existed when it was found, and it was written in scrawled and familiar words:

"the fourth"

——There is no doubt about who the murderer is.

As the most powerful family of mages in the contemporary era, the Ji family has never experienced such a major event in the hundreds of years since its establishment, but now it is brutally murdered by a monster, nearly half of the elders.

Of course, none of them could have guessed that the perpetrator was not just the silver-haired snake monster. If it was just the silver-haired snake monster, it would be far from being able to achieve this step.

But now, their fear and vigilance against the silver-haired snake monster has been raised to the highest level.

"It has been confirmed that the target of the snake demon is the elders."

"The origin is unknown, the strength is powerful, and it is much stronger than ordinary big monsters."

"It seems that there should be some kind of concealment method, which can sneak in without anyone noticing."

"Does the snake demon have any hatred for the Ji family? Such a cruel way of killing people."

"No matter what, we can't let that snake demon continue to behave mischievously, we must stop it immediately!"

Having said that, no one knows where the silver-haired snake demon is now, and whether it is lurking nearby, peeping secretly.

The atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense, and even ordinary people didn't dare to go out casually. The streets were deserted, and only teams of warriors, or mage disciples in blue robes, walked past heavily and hastily.

The entire capital city was shrouded in tension and solemnity.

At this moment, after being quiet for seven days, she suddenly appeared again. The chief culprit who brutally dismembered and killed the fourth elder, the silver-haired snake demon She Mengshan, was leisurely staying in the most unexpected place.

Benjia, inside Ji Liang's bedroom.

The small white snake, as small as chopsticks, crawled across the table, wrapped around the jade-white wrist resting on the table, like a silver bracelet.

However, the little white snake was also restless, sliding along that wrist, and when it was about to fall into the sleeve, it was suddenly pinched, and its clear and watery voice followed in the quiet room.

"Read books when you're bored."

A corner of the face covered by a book was revealed.

Ji Liang threw the twisting little white snake back onto the table, on which were piled up other books, the little white snake shook its head, and then rested its head on the pile of books, winding like a liquid on the table.

After glancing at the few books, the little white snake looked away uninterestedly, and continued to look at the peaceful and quiet figure in white clothes sitting on the soft bed in front of him, holding a book in one hand.

The little white snake suddenly spit out human words, it was She Mengshan's voice.

"Can't you see it?"

His eyes were wrapped in ribbons, so he couldn't see, but looking at Ji Liang's appearance, he seemed to be able to see the contents of the books.

Ji Liang unhurriedly turned over a page and said, "There is spiritual power attached to the handwriting."

He sensed the traces of spiritual power, so he knew what was written on it.

"Hiss, it's quite convenient."

The little white snake spat out a bright red letter, hissed twice, its tail raised up unconsciously, and swayed from side to side, when it suddenly bumped into a hard object, it subconsciously flicked its tail and threw the hard object out.

With a bang, a teacup fell to the ground.

The maid outside heard the sound and immediately asked through the door.

The little white snake froze, and glanced at Ji Liang with a guilty conscience, its restless tail drooped limply, but after hearing Ji Liang casually deal with the maid outside, he immediately perked up again.

Little White Snake is really not interested in reading these boring books, and he doesn't understand how Ji Liang can keep reading, it's boring and boring.

After a while, the little white snake stood up, looked at Ji Liang and said, "Whose turn is it next?"

Ji Liang didn't lift his head, he replied: "Elder Seven."

There was already a sequence in mind, the seventh elder was the last one, of course, after the seventh elder was removed, it would be Ji Xingyuan and Ji Changlin's turn next.

A good show comes at the end.

As if thinking of something, the little white snake had a vaguely humanized expression on its face, and said teasingly: "I heard that your Seventh Elder is a beauty, can you bear it?"

The seventh elder's name is Ji Qinghuai. Although he is over forty years old, he still has charm.

As for She Mengshan's ridicule, Ji Liang didn't say a word as if he didn't hear it.

"Sigh~"

The little white snake lowered its head boredly.

……

In the mansion of the Fourth Elder, there was the faint cry of the female relatives. The corpse had been stitched together by the priest, but because the coffin was not ready, the corpse of the Fourth Elder was still placed in the Buddhist hall and guarded by the guards.

At the meeting of the elders, there were only a handful of four people, all of whom looked depressed and dignified, and none of them spoke.

After a while, Ji Fengjun suddenly got up and left his seat, but before he could take two steps, the voice of the Great Elder Ji Xingyuan came from behind him:

"where are you going?"

After a pause, Ji Fengjun didn't turn his head back: "I'll take a breath!"

After all, he went straight to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and remained motionless.

The Seventh Elder Ji Qinghuai rubbed his slender eyebrows that were unconsciously frowned, then looked at his back, and asked, "What did the Third Elder find?"

At present, Ji Fengjun is responsible for the security and protection in the capital. Has he found the figure of the silver-haired snake demon, or investigated any clues, etc.?

Ji Fengjun's eyebrows were also covered with solemnity, he stood sideways by the window, but did not return to the chair.

"The snake demon has never been found in the capital."

"How could it be? The checkpoints entering and exiting the capital are strictly guarded, there is no chance of getting in, so the snake monster must be in the capital!"

"Is the Seventh Elder blaming me for my ineffectiveness?"

"...I didn't mean that."

"Ah."

In the seat in front, Ji Xingyuan just watched the cynicism of the two without interjecting.On his right is the Second Elder, Ji Changlin, with the same silent expression.

When the words of Ji Fengjun and Ji Qinghuai escalated, and they were about to quarrel, they finally spoke, and interjected in the usual way:

"Okay, don't say a few words, now is not the time for you to fight among yourself."

He added: "This matter is no small matter, I hope you will treat it seriously."

Ji Fengjun closed his mouth, turned to look at Ji Xingyuan who spoke, and said seriously: "The matter has come to this, I think it is time for the Patriarch to come forward."

But upon hearing his words, Ji Xingyuan's face darkened slightly, and he said: "What did the third elder say? That person is no longer the head of the family, and besides, he is still a criminal."

Anger flashed across Ji Fengjun's face, he endured it, and said: "The snake monster is rampant now, no one can deal with it, I hope the elder can put the overall situation first!"

Ji Xingyuan also lowered his face, "Is the third elder saying that I'm in vain for the overall situation?"

Ji Fengjun looked back coldly, "Isn't it?"

Seeing that the two started up again, Ji Changlin, who was sitting next to him, acted as the peacemaker again, and said, "Okay, what does it look like to be arguing, don't forget your identity."

The two snorted at the same time and turned their heads.

Ji Changlin raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and then analyzed in a calm tone: "At present, the snake demon is eyeing the elders. Since the content obtained from the interrogation of the weasel is unknown, let him come forward rashly, and it might make things worse. Oops."

As soon as this remark came out, he denied Ji Fengjun's words, but after a little thought, he could hear the implication behind his words, he was clearly affirming that Ji Liang might be in collusion with the silver-haired snake demon.

Ji Fengjun couldn't bear it any longer, he waved his sleeves and left the meeting of elders without listening to the other party finish.

Ji Changlin stopped talking, and several people present watched his leaving back, but no one made a sound.

……

"The Seventh Elder has to take strict precautions recently."

"Both of you too."

Not long after Ji Fengjun left in anger, the three of them communicated for half an hour, and then Ji Qinghuai also got up and left.

In the same place, Ji Xingyuan and Ji Changlin are left.

Ji Xingyuan withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and saw the meaningful smile on Ji Changlin's face.

"why are you laughing?"

"Don't you laugh?" Ji Changlin asked back.

Ji Xingyuan paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Laugh, why don't you laugh? I still want to laugh. After everyone is dead, isn't this huge family of Ji just in the pocket of you and me—"

The author says:

almost.
