Disciple's rebellion

The first thing Qi Zhen did after waking up was to ask Wang Zhen to start the blood river repentance immediately.

Rushan has a river whistling across the mountain, and the people of Rushan live near the river, so most of them have the surname Jiang.

For this reason, many related sacrifices in Rushan are related to this river.

As a famous family in Rushan, the Jiang family naturally had to occupy a good location by the river, so that it was more convenient than other families or common people to worship the Jiang God.

Therefore, in front of the Jiang family's mansion is the Jiang family's special sacrificial place.

In order not to startle the snake, Ning Jie and Mi Chen still followed Wang Zhen to the sacrificial place.

On the way, Ning Jie asked the butler who was walking with him, "Butler, how do you know my senior brother?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Master Daoist, your senior brother is not simple. You don't know that on our side, marriages are all done in secret, lest the ghost bridegroom kidnap the bride and kill the groom."

Ning Jie saw that the story was similar to what Wang Zhen told, so he asked carefully: "But my senior brother said that this is your custom, and exorcising the ghost bridegroom has nothing to do with my senior brother."

The housekeeper showed admiration on his face: "As expected of the Taoist priest, he is so indifferent to fame and fortune. Xiaoxianjun, we do have the custom of exorcising ghost bridegrooms here, but it doesn't work. The bride was still taken away. During that time, We dare not marry our daughters again."

Ning Jie's heart sank.

If there is no guess, it was during that time that someone obtained the forbidden technique, so they kidnapped the bride to practice the forbidden technique.

Ning Jie clenched his hands tightly, forcing himself to be no different from ordinary people.

He showed a startled expression, a nervous and curious expression, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Then, what did my senior brother do?"

The butler smiled, with awe in his eyes: "The Taoist priest said that the previous customs should be followed or followed, but in the part of jumping from the tree, a male dog and a hen were taken. The former cut the throat and the latter stabbed the abdomen. Tree body, so that the ancient gods will bless us Rushan people. Sure enough, since then, there has been no incident of a bride being taken away."

Ning Jie showed a look of admiration on his face, and said: "Senior brother is really amazing, I will become a person like senior brother in the future."

The butler laughed and said, "The Taoist leader will definitely."

Seeing that the housekeeper was not suspicious, Ning Jie continued to inquire about the news, "Is it true that since then, all the girls in Rushan will not be kidnapped by the ghost groom as long as they abide by the taboo?"

The butler nodded: "That's right."

Ning Jie pretended to be curious and said, "But does the ghost groom only take away the bride? Wouldn't he take Jiji's little girl away?"

The butler was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I haven't heard of an unmarried girl disappearing. Probably not. Besides, the ghost bridegroom died on the wedding night, so it must be the bride who is getting married."

Ning Jie became more suspicious.

For a person who is concerned with this kind of forbidden technique, he will never give up the benefits he has obtained.

He has tasted the sweetness of extracting immortal energy, and he will extract it even more frantically in the future.

This means that in the future, he will not use the ghost groom to attack only married brides.

Married brides are far from enough for him. There are only so many people in Rushan. Although there are not a handful of brides who can get married, it is not too many.

In order to further improve his cultivation, he will definitely extend his claws to girls who are not married but have reached the age or are about to reach the age. In short, they are girls who can give birth to offspring.

Unexpectedly, no bride disappeared after that.

Even the girl was not taken away.

...The only thing that can explain this reason is that the "ghost groom" who kidnapped the bride is dead.

Now that the ghost groom is dead, he will naturally stop causing trouble.

and also……

Ning Jie suppressed all the complicated thoughts in his heart.

He was about to thank the head, when he suddenly saw Mi Chen walking towards Wang Zhen, the two exchanged a few words, and Mi Chen straightened his body and walked towards them.

Mi Chen bowed to the housekeeper in an old-fashioned way.

Seeing this, the butler quickly returned the gift.

After the ceremony, Mi Shenqing said in a cold voice: "Housekeeper, senior brother asked the young master's wife if she died in the thatched hut next to the Jiang family's grave?"

Mi Chen's face is too deceptive. He became famous at a young age, and his appearance is fixed at fifteen or sixteen.Hou Baiwei was afraid that Mi Chen's face would not be able to restrain Liang Ling, so he asked Gui Jing to study herbal medicine, and urged Mi Chen's face to be 20 years old.

Before coming, Wang Zhen introduced Mi Chen to the butler and said that he was his senior brother.

Unexpectedly, Mi Chen's face still looked much smaller than Wang Zhen's, so that the housekeeper wondered if he remembered it wrong.

Although the housekeeper was a little confused, he still replied seriously: "Return to the head, the young master's wife died next to the Jiang family's ancestral grave because of dystocia."

Mi Chen continued to ask: "Can you be more specific?"

The steward replied doubtfully, "It's next to my lord's cemetery. What does the Taoist priest mean by asking this?"

Mi Chen replied: "The priest was afraid of hurting innocent souls, so he asked me to inquire."

When the butler heard that the casting of the spell might hurt the Lord Jiang, he couldn't help asking nervously, "Master Daoist, is there a way to break it?"

Mi Chen took out the detective's branch from the spirit bag, put the branch in the butler's hand, and said, "This is a special guard branch made by our family. As long as you put it in front of the tomb of the Jiang family's head, the soul of the Jiang family's head will not be disturbed." will be harmed by this legal incident."

The butler quickly took it, and thanked him: "Please ask the Taoist priest to thank the Jiang family for me, and I will go to the lord's cemetery to put down the branch."

After the housekeeper left, Ning Jie walked up to Mi Chen and asked, "Master, do you suspect that he is the head of the Jiang family?"

They are immortal cultivators with extremely good ears and eyes.

Especially Ning Jie was taught by Mi Chen, the spells are similar, and it is the easiest to find out what the other party is talking about.

Just like just now, Master must have heard the conversation between himself and the steward, and he also heard Wang Zhen said to the master who was in a hurry: "I'll go and have a rest."

However, Master's suspicion is not unreasonable.

In Rushan, the only person capable of practicing this kind of forbidden technique is the head of the Jiang family.

Moreover, the horror brought about by the ghost bridegroom became popular in Rushan, because the head of the Jiang family broke the custom of not sending off guests to Sina, and even broke the taboo, so the bride began to be kidnapped by the ghost groom.

However, the head of the Jiang family had already passed away, and the subsequent disappearance of the bride seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, even if it was a fake death at that time, and there is no "ghost groom" now, I am afraid that the head of the family may have died for real.

Mi Chen seemed to see Ning Jie's doubts, he said, "Don't keep thinking about it."

Ning Jie nodded: "I know that I need to investigate more personally. Since the master has already released the locust tree branches, we can find out the truth when the locust tree branches go deep into the tomb."

Mi Chen turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhen who was muttering about casting spells, and lowered his voice: "Go, go to the ancestral hall."

On the way to the ancestral hall, Ning Jie's gaze was suddenly attracted by a single small room in front of him.

When Mi Chen heard Ning Jie's footsteps stop, he also stopped and looked up at the small room.

The little room was exquisite and out of place with its surroundings.

The Jiang family gives people the feeling of grandeur, and must use the brightest and most valuable things to decorate the room, like Qi Zhen's wing room.

This small room basically inherited the luxurious style of the Jiang family, with pink and blue tiles, white and white fences, and even the colorful paintings on the house are made of extremely precious pigments and exquisite patterns.

However, green bamboos and peonies were planted in front of his house.

It looks like a literati.

There is also a small pavilion next to it. The pavilion is a normal mandarin duck pavilion, but the abnormal one is built on top of chrysanthemums.

The branches and leaves of the chrysanthemum can't form such a large supporting force at all. Even though there are stones supporting it below, it is difficult to support the mandarin duck pavilion.

Ning Jie condensed a wave of spiritual power to perceive it.

Sure enough, it contained a lot of spiritual power.

Although this level of cultivation is not top-notch, but middle-level aptitude is already top-grade in Rushan.

Mi Chen naturally also noticed it.

His gaze was on the closed window.

The people inside also noticed Mi Chen's gaze.

He knew that Mi Chen must have noticed that he was watching them through the window.

But he didn't care if he was found out.

Originally, he was only disturbed by the sound of footsteps, and wanted to see who dared to disturb him.

I didn't expect to meet two men.

He continued to look between the two of them, with a weird smile on his face.

God pays off, after many years, he finally met his kind.

rare!

So rare!

As one of his kind, he should give them a gift.

Mi Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Ning Jie: "Let's go, don't miss the business."

Ning Jie withdrew his spiritual power and replied, "Yes."

But before leaving, Ning Jie looked back at this magnificent but extremely elegant house again.

His eyes froze, and there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

He didn't like it very much, he didn't like the look just now.

—spying and with a playful, malicious look.

No one can covet his master!

Who!All!Do not!can!

Ning Jie followed Mi Chen, slightly bent his hands behind his back, a rose plant emerged from the ground, leaned against the wall, slowly climbed up, and bloomed.

The closer to the ancestral hall, the more difficult it is to hide the special fragrance in the sandalwood that the Jiang family likes to burn.

The two stepped into the ancestral hall and looked at it carefully.

Ning Jie looked at the tablet, his eyes wandered quickly, and suddenly, a tablet caught Ning Jie's attention.

He took a few steps forward and reached out to take the tablet off the table, but he couldn't shake the tablet.

Mi Chen also noticed the abnormality, walked to Ning Jie, looked at the tablet and said, "Is it a mechanism?"

Ning Jie shook his head and said, "No. I can't move this tablet even if I pull it up and down, press it left and right, and turn it around."

Mi Chen threw out a wave of spiritual power, and it turned out that the tablet was dead, not the switch of the secret room.

After Mi Chen took it back, he looked at Ning Jie and said, "How did you find the strange place?"

Ning Jie pointed to the tablet on the side and said: "Master, look, the other tablets are made of peach wood, but this one is made of camphor wood."

The two were deliberately made similar, but Ning Jie was a wood spirit root after all, so he immediately noticed the difference in this tablet.

Ning Jie looked at Mi Chen and said, "Master, why don't you use your spiritual power to break open the secret room of this ancestral hall?"

That's right, as soon as the two of them stepped into the ancestral hall, they found a secret room here.

Mi Chen shook his head.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright.

A cock crow suddenly came to his ears.

Mi Chen thought of something, and while pulling Ning Jie back, he threw out his spiritual power and chopped off the tablet's head.

The head of the card spun a few times in the air, and then flew towards a certain place.

Ning Jie followed his gaze and saw that the head of the card was actually attached to the beam!

Mi Chen pulled back his sleeves slightly, and explained: "Ah Jie, do you still remember how the dog died?"

Ning Jie thought about it for a while, and said, "He died by cutting his throat. But what does this have to do with the secret room switch?"

Mi Chen's eyes darkened, and he replied: "As a teacher, I asked the old man on the side, and he said that the totem before Rushan was a dog."

Ning Jie was startled.

The villages near the Liangling faction also have totems of their own beliefs.

These totems may be animals or plants.

But no matter what kind of totem they believe in, there is only one thing in common between them-it is taboo to kill things of their own beliefs.

click!

The stone table on which the tablets were placed slowly rose, and a secret passage appeared in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, Ning Jie wanted to check it out, but just as he took a step, he suddenly noticed something different.

Ning Jie turned his head quickly and said, "Master, don't move."

Unfortunately it was too late.

All independent formations are instantly activated together.
