Subsequently, Wu Jinluan went to arrange personnel and the operation.
I walked to the center of the martial field, stood there silently, allowing the sunlight to caress my face.
The scorching heat dispelled the coldness from my body, making my mind and body both feel exceptionally free and unrestricted.
Then, I slightly moved my hand, murmured softly in my mouth, and immersed myself in an action.
I repeated this action more than a dozen times, and finally, Wu Jinluan and the others came out.
He was at the head of them, and behind him, there were actually more than ten teachers.
I gave the crowd a more careful look and saw no sign of Huajiang.
"With too few people, it fails to show the due diligence of the Daoist institution. In regards to the matter of Wuhanlama, many Daoist temples should extend some respect to the Daoist institution. Sujukushan shouldn't be too harsh," said Wu Jinluan with a smile.
I nodded, and the group set off.
On my last visit to Sujukushan, I went there with my family in a car.
This time, there would be no troublesome corpses.
First, we arrived in Jianghuang City, took the high-speed train, and by the time night fell, we reached the nearest urban area to Sujukushan.
There was also a Ghula Organization here, but since I did not want to ruin Wu Jinluan's feelings, I did not inform them. After getting off the high-speed train, it was arranged by Wu Jinluan to call a car.
As it got late into the night, we arrived at the small town at the foot of Jujukushan.
Just as the spring season was about to begin, there were many tourists in the town. Many shops on the side of the road were open for business in the evenings, and there were even more street food vendors.
The silence was mingled with a touch of liveliness. Of course, some people were taking photos of us.
The new Daoist robe given to me by the Leiping Temple was very neat and tidy, and the Tang suit from the Ascension to Immortality Temple was especially brand new.
I'm used to it, but Wu Jinluan and the others are a bit uncomfortable with it.
Instead of continuing up the mountain, we found a hotel in the town to rest first.
I stayed in the room for a while and then came out, heading in the direction of the Qi family compound.
Perhaps the people in Jujukushan never expected me to come to their mountain gate, so there was no sight of Daoists in the town.
This is probably related to the fact that Jujukushan is too close to the secular world, so there will be visitors coming up the mountain.
It's not like Siguishan or the Leiping Temple, which are somewhat removed from the secular world.
It wasn't until we reached the gate of Qi family compound that the pond water rippled, the tiny waterfall, like a flood, continuously roared and released a large amount of water vapor.
The compound itself was sealed off, and one could not see the courtyard at all.
As Qi Yucun disappeared and Ma Zhan was taken away, it was inevitable that Sujukushan would have discovered some situation.
There was no need to seal it away anymore.
The traces of the previous battle had been cleaned up, and the damaged gate and walls had been repaired.
In the quiet night, the Qi family compound gave people a strange sense of familiarity.
The last time I came here, I didn't have much feeling.
Because back then, I came here for Qi Yucun, and now standing here, although there is no memory, there is still a sense of an unseen pull.
Closing my eyes, raising my hand, it seemed as if my hand was gently touching something.
Opening my eyes again, it seemed as if I saw a person standing in front of the Qi family gate, his back was turned to me.
The next moment, he walked in resolutely and without hesitation!
"Hey!" I instinctively shouted out loud.
Because the man gave me a feeling that was too familiar, making my heart tremble.
However, he did not stop, and my voice only startled a forest to shake and the birds to scatter!
"Grandpa, you're being overly sensitive. Nothing was there before, did you see Qi family's little miss or Ma Zhan?" Old Gou chirped on my shoulder: "Whether it's who, it's just a hallucination. Don't forget what I told you, your level of cultivation and power have increased, but your heart is very dangerous. Please don't make any mistakes."
My breathing was extremely heavy, one hand over my heart, taking a step and walking straight into the Qiji mansion.
"I'm fine, no need to worry." At the same time, I replied to Lao Gong in a hoarse voice.
"That's good, if there were any problems, it would be bad. Here is Sujukushan, three true people want you to die, be careful, don't let your heart go wild." Lao Gong reminded me again.
In the next moment, I stepped into the Qiji family compound.
Indeed, there was nothing to see in my eyes.
The entire compound was only quiet and deathly still.
Standing still for a long time, I walked towards the courtyard and went to the room where Ma Zhan was discovered. The room was empty, the broken furniture was piled on one side, and the bloodstains were cleaned up.
The empty, desolate bed, where there was no longer the body of Ma Zhan.
Similarly, there was no sign of Ma Yi's body either.
"Lao Gou, you said that initially, Old Qin and Ma Zhan promised him something, which allowed him to easily take away Ma Xianjun and part of Qi Yucun's soul?"
"Did he predict the events that would happen in the Qi family? Or is there some other relationship between him and Ma Zhan?" I asked in a low voice.
"Zhe zhe." Lao Gou pursed his lips and said: "That's the case. There's a lot of things that children don't understand. As for me, asking me is like asking a child. I don't know. There are no living people in the world who can answer this question. Old Qin has become an insect, and he can't answer your question either."
What Lao Gou said was like talking in the wind.
"It seems that since I was born, I've been on Old Qin's chessboard, and he's played a big game. But what does he want to do? Is it just to fulfill some posthumous affairs for him and do something for himself along the way, or is he simply calculating, wanting a person with a suitable destiny to be reborn?"
"It's a pity that he himself didn't succeed in his own path." I shook my head, muttering to myself.
Lao Gou didn't respond. He just looked around left and right, his eyes darting around nonstop.
Standing in front of the room for a long time, I had originally intended to leave, just to take a look around here to see if there were any traces of Ma Zhan, but the invisible pull brought me back.
Staying here for a long time is meaningless.
In the moment I turned around, I happened to see several peach wood swords hanging on the wall, and for a moment, it gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Hu..." I exhaled a mouthful of phlegm, and I also had to take a step forward.
"Hey... Grandpa, wait a minute." Old Gou suddenly shouted out.
He left my shoulder, his limbs moving swiftly, and he went to the bedside, examining it carefully.
My heartbeat accelerated slightly. Did Lao Gou discover something?
After a few minutes, Lao Gou squatted down and his body suddenly disappeared. His head rolled into the bed bottom.
The next moment, a piercing and agonizing scream came, and Lao Gou's head actually shot out from under the bed!
I quickly reached out and caught Lao Gou!
His head and face had a large area of corrosion, and there was a deep symbol on his forehead. The injury was terrifying!
Of course, he was a ghost. Under the gray-purple ghostly mist, he began to rapidly recover.
Lao Gou was trembling, his teeth were chattering.
"It's happening, Grandpa... I feel like you're going... There's a secret room below, a secret room!"
"Dammit, there's also a talisman... The talismans drawn by Ma Zhan could only stop me. Shit, he's pasted talismans in the secret room too, what's he keeping in there? Eeeeh..."
Lao Gou's eyes shone with a fierce light. He trembled and managed to escape from my hand.
In the gray-purple mist shaking, the bed moved sideways. You could still see a spot on the wall that was faintly flickering with a symbol!
