Chapter 209 The arrival of the golden elixir
Next, everyone in the Dai family realized that things seemed not as simple as they imagined, so they simply escorted the Xiongshan people back to Wangyue City.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to set a fire and burn the Lin's fish pond outside the city to the ground.
The people of Xiongshan Mountain were under the control of others and could only watch helplessly as the bandits from the Dai family beat themselves up on their own territory, slaughtered their servants, and wantonly destroyed their newly built fish ponds. Accompanied by the blazing fire, they would All his previous efforts were in vain, and his illusion of a better future was also shattered.
He had just come to Lu State and was ready to become a good man. There was a sadness in his heart for no reason, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
These beasts are too bullying!
……
"Squeak~"
Underground in a certain cave in Wangyue City, in a dark, damp and cramped space, the Dai family members temporarily transformed it into a prison, and tied the captured Xiongshan people to stakes.
Of course, whether they are iron stakes or ropes, they are at least spiritual materials for refining high-level magic weapons to prevent people on Xiong Mountain from escaping.
Dai Bubu was still worried, so he used the Forbidden Spirit Talisman to seal off his cultivation level, and put a talisman between his eyebrows, sealing the Niwan Palace for him. Now he could not escape.
"Pa!~Pa!~"
A Dai family member held a whip in his hand and shook it hard on the ground twice. Then he looked at the Xiongshan man with evil intentions, making him feel cold all over.
"Crackling~"
Another Dai family member held a soldering iron in his hand and was roasting it in the brazier. There was also a trace of perverted excitement on the corner of his mouth, which made the people on Xiong Mountain tighten their anus.
“Chacha~”
There was also a Dai family disciple holding a guillotine, sharpening it and licking his lips, a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
……
The people in Xiongshan Mountain were horrified to see this, these people were simply not human beings!
As promised, everyone has gone to school. Is this how the gentlemen in your academy taught you? Isn’t your country of Lu a Confucian world? Why does it feel as cruel as the devil?
The Dai family members said that they were already very gentle, and they only learned these things from the mortal yamen. They could not do things like the magic monks who sucked souls, peeled skins, and sucked blood.
But even so, the people on Xiongshan Mountain were still tortured severely. After losing their cultivation, they couldn't resist the torture. A man screamed in prison alone.
During this period, it can be said that the sky is not responding to the situation, and the earth and the earth are not functioning properly.
Finally, after some torture.
The people on Xiongshan Mountain were left dying and in pain.
Sitting in front of him without moving the golden sword, he began to interrogate.
"What is your real name? Don't give me false information!"
"Bear Mountain. People from Bear Mountain"
"Then where is the Wanliu Academy you mentioned when you pretended to be Bu Peiying?"
"What Wanliu Academy? I don't understand what you are saying."
Dai couldn't see that he didn't admit it, so he ordered his men to come forward and continue to torture him.
"Ah!~~~Ouch!~~~Ouch!~~~"
In the end, no matter what method was used, it was proved that the man with the long cheeks was his true appearance, without any trace of his appearance.
Zhu Duiyou also frowned at this time. Could it be that this Xiongshan native and the young man in white were indeed not the same person?
He took the words and interrogated:
"What is the relationship between Jinglian and you?"
"He is my master."
"Do you really have a master at the Nascent Soul stage?"
"That's right"
Everyone was shocked, and at this moment they were a little hesitant, feeling that this matter seemed to have returned to their original speculation.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"I don't know, I'm looking for it too."
Although Xiongshanren was out of breath at this time, it did not affect his move to the backstage. Unexpectedly, the Lu State was so far away from the East China Sea of the Song Dynasty that some people had heard of the reputation of Jinglian layman.
The master turns out to be so powerful!
A glimmer of hope rekindled in my heart, trying to use this to fight for a chance to survive.
However, everyone in the Dai family had been mentally prepared beforehand and did not buy it.
Your master is being hunted by both good and evil forces all day long. He cannot save himself, so how can he find the time to save you?
What's more, this is the only chance for Dai Fudong to make a comeback. If the stolen money cannot be recovered, everyone will be done with it. There is no return anyway, so just give it a try, even if it offends the Nascent Soul Stage monks. They had already made a desperate move.
Just thinking of the stolen money, Dai Fubu couldn't help but ask, combined with the poor net worth of the Xiongshan people just now:
"Where did the stolen money you got from selling my Dai family's property in Wangyue City go?"
The people in Xiongshan looked confused: "What stolen money? Selling property? What on earth are you talking about? I'm just a small laborer!"
Dai Bubu motioned to the left and right, and his men immediately understood, waving the torture instruments in their hands and went up to deal another blow.
"Ah~~~No~~~"
The people in Xiongshan screamed heartbreakingly, but could not get out of the underground cell. They were tied to iron stakes and their clothes were stained with blood.
No matter how they were tortured to extract confessions, the people in Xiongshan refused to admit it.
"What about the formation puppet your master gave you? Where did it go? Why didn't you see it?"
"What kind of formation puppets are there? I don't have any at all!"
"That's nonsense. Your master is a great master at the Nascent Soul stage. How can he not give you a way to protect your life and body?"
"Yes, I did, but in the second half of the journey from the Song Dynasty to the State of Lu, I used it when I encountered a critical moment."
In the past few years, we have passed through countless poor mountains and rivers. If it were not for the Golden Core Stage, it would be too difficult to get through the Foundation Establishment Stage alone. It was a helpless move for the people on Xiongshan Mountain to use up the amulet given to them by their master.
Otherwise, the Dai family really wouldn't be able to take him down.
However, these were only one-sided words. The Dai family did not know whether they were true or false, so they intensified the punishment.
The screams continued for a while, and after they calmed down again, they found that the people on Xiongshan Mountain had their skin and flesh torn to pieces. In some places, the wounds were suppurating, and the bones were visible. It was extremely miserable.
"Then tell me, how did you ambush the real Jindan of our clan and successfully assassinate him. Where is the magic treasure that you obtained afterwards, and where is the jade plate?"
"I, I don't. I really don't know what you are talking about. Hehehehe."
The man on Xiongshan Mountain had blurred vision, his throat was bleeding, and he was almost unconscious from the torture.
Everyone in the Dai family had no choice but to stop and put a few cheap healing talismans on him to hang him up first.
Everyone looked at Zhu Duiyou and asked him for advice when in doubt.
"Brother Zhu, judging from today's fight, this person should not have the ability to kill a real person of our clan. Is it a mistake?"
Zhu Duiyou pondered for a long time, and after carefully recalling all the details of the past, he couldn't help but nodded:
"Now it seems that the murderer does not look like this person. He is most likely a scapegoat who took all the responsibility for the young man in white."
"Since the young man in white can pretend to be someone else and knows that his master is the powerful Pure Lotus layman in the Nascent Soul stage, it means that he has some quarrel with the people on Xiongshan Mountain and is very likely to be his old friend."
"According to what was said in the interrogation testimony just now, the people in Xiongshan Mountain said that he came from the distant Song Dynasty, so the young man in white should also come from a foreign country, maybe also from the Song Dynasty."
"So."
Zhu Duiyou took a step forward, lifted the Xiongshan man's chin with his hand, and asked him sharply:
"Tell me, did you ever have any enemies who liked to spread your name around?" Xiong Shanren had bags under his eyes and his mind was working slowly. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't pinpoint the real culprit. After all, he had been a robber in the past and had offended many people. The crowd is gone. Who knows who is using his name to deceive people?
"I don't know either."
Zhu Duiyou's thinking was clear at the moment, and he just stared at him closely:
"You can tell me who your enemies are. Don't worry, you can tell me slowly!"
"Taoist Jingyang, Master Yanfa Cave, Taoist Sister Guangshan, Master Chunjing, Seventh Son of Jining, and Four Fiends from Far Away"
The people on Xiong Mountain murmured, counting their enemies one by one, and reporting their names for those who had had any quarrels with each other.
Don't tell me, her ability to cause trouble makes everyone in the Dai family go numb.
But Zhu Duiyou suddenly waved his sleeves and stopped his thoughts.
"None of this is important. Let me ask you, do you have an enemy who looks like a young man in white?"
"Young man in white? Well. There are about five of them, namely."
"He has pure wind and thunder spiritual power, and a five-element fan, and his defensive weapon is a pitted mirror"
"Lin Shan! The envoy of the Pure Altar of the Black Lotus Sect and the person in charge of missionary work in the Ezo sea area, Lin Shan!"
When the Xiongshan people were provided with the details, an idea suddenly appeared in their minds, and they suddenly shouted out!
At the same time, the iron stakes and chains behind him shook.
But Dai Fubu and Zhu Duiyou looked at each other, and finally the clouds cleared and the moon came out!
Lin Chamber of Commerce,
Linshan,
Isn’t this right?
Good boy, instead of chicken feet, the fox tail is finally exposed!
Dai Bubu ordered his men to strengthen the iron stakes and chains while pouring another ladle of cold water on them.
"Tell me! Tell me all the information you know about this person named Linshan!"
"No need!"
Suddenly there was a shout from behind, which made the underground cell buzz. Countless fine dust fell down from the top of the head, and a huge momentum followed, like a tiger coming out of its cage. Everyone in the Dai family was shocked!
Could it be?
Someone knocked on the door?
Turning around, he saw an old man with white hair and a childlike face, dressed in gold and mink, striding in.
"Grandpa?"
"Great uncle!"
"Meet the real person of Rongjin!"
Dai Fubu, the disciples of the Dai family, Zhu Duiyou, etc. all bowed down to pay homage. They did not expect that the ancestor of the Dai family at the golden elixir stage would come so quickly!
You must know that it is less than five days since the death of the former Dai family Jindan real person, and the information collected by Dai Bubu and the others yesterday has just been sent out to be sent to the family.
According to the schedule, it would take two days for the tribesman to send the information back. At that time, after some discussion within the tribe, various speculations would inevitably have to be brought out, and only after verification here in Wangyue City would a final decision be made.
But no one could have guessed that the Dai family’s golden elixir ancestor had already arrived before the messenger here returned to the family!
And he is not just any ordinary Jindan master, but the elder of the clan in front of Dai Jiaming.
The ancestor of finance!
As a cultivator family, the Dai family has become one of the mining giants of the Lu State, not only because there were five golden elixir-stage monks in charge, and their momentum was at its peak, but also because there was an ancestor in the late golden elixir stage who was intimidating everyone!
You know, as a mining giant, it involves influence in all aspects of the cultivation world and how many spiritual mineral resources it occupies, how can it not make people jealous?
But precisely because of the Rongjin Ancestor, the late stage cultivation of Jindan, and the Nascent Soul, he can basically sweep away all kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snakes, and no one dares to take advantage of him!
It was also three hundred years ago that the Dai family, starting from the ancestor of Rongjin, grew from two golden elixir-stage monks to five golden elixir-stage monks, and gradually became a giant. It can be said that Dai is the leader of the family. The master of the resurgence of the country.
This kind of person is more or less a man of the hour in the world of cultivation in a country. Usually, they stay in the family and practice as a Dinghaishenzhen. They don't go out unless the family's life and death are critical. They stay in seclusion until the end of the world. Even if they die, they will remain secretive for decades, making their enemies suspicious and afraid to act rashly.
But now, how can such a legendary ancestor stand helplessly in front of a bunch of juniors? How can it not surprise people?
"Ancestor, why did you leave seclusion in person?"
Dai Bubu was frightened. He didn't expect the clan's ancestor to arrive in person. He didn't even send a letter in advance, and he didn't have time to entertain him, for fear that his every move would leave a bad impression.
The Rongjin Ancestor has a childlike face and fair hair, his face is glowing with fluorescence, and he exudes the domineering aura of a superior person, but his words sound like a spring breeze.
"Haha, I have been facing the stone wall all these years, thinking deeply about it. It just happened to catch up with the fall of our clan's golden elixir, so I couldn't wait for the news, so I just came out to take a look and get some fresh air."
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the ancestor. That was rude behavior.
"Actually, I've been here for a while. I didn't expect that you guys, juniors, have already found out a lot of useful information in just five days. It seems that the clan has chosen the right person to send you here."< br>
"Well, not bad."
The ancestor of Rongjin simply said the word "not bad". After hearing this, everyone present trembled and became extremely excited.
Sometimes, just like this, a simple encouragement from a superior will make the subordinates feel like they have been given a shot of blood, feeling excited and thinking they are appreciated, but in fact it is just the most basic way to control their subordinates.
This is the beauty of power.
Dai Bubu hurriedly bowed: "Old Ancestor Miao Zan, this junior is just doing his duty, nothing."
"Hey~ It's great that you were able to find such a key person and find out useful information in such a short period of time."
Ancestor Rongjin waved his hand and did not treat the younger members of the clan harshly. Instead, he praised Dai Fudou and looked at Zhu Duiyou beside him with admiration.
"This little friend doesn't look like a member of my Dai family, but he has extraordinary bearing and wisdom. I guess he is not an unknown person."
Zhu Duiyou was wearing a turban on his head, a crane cloak on his head, and a feather fan in his hand. He was not as excited as the Dai family. After all, he was also someone who had seen big scenes. He just bowed slightly and saluted:
"Thank you for your recommendation, Zhu Duiyou, a young student. He studied under Jingyang Academy and is now a staff counselor next to Brother Dai. He does some trivial things that are difficult for the real person to judge."
He was modest here, but the Rongjin Patriarch had a sharp eye and immediately noticed that this boy was extraordinary.
He is young and in the late stage of foundation building. He has a deep foundation and a strong spiritual consciousness. He is also a high-ranking disciple of Jingyang Academy. He is subordinated to Dai Bubu to advise him. Such a person must have mountains and rivers in his belly and beautiful articles in his mind. He is a piece of cake. Rare talent and beauty.
"Haha, I'm so humble, little friend. With your help, this guy who can't hold on to Dai is just lucky. He may have a chance to become a legitimate heir in the future!"
The words of Patriarch Rongjin directly lit up the eyes of everyone on the field.
Especially Dai Fubu, who couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face. Although the fight between the heirs in the clan was fair and open, it was an incredible achievement to be appreciated by the great elder.
Once this sentence is spread back to the family in the future, it will inevitably have a big impact. At that time, some clan elders may turn to support him, and some children in the clan will take the initiative to vote!
Of course, now that politeness is the norm, the ancestor cannot always be greeted in the underground cell when he arrives, so everyone still gathered around and left together to entertain him in the living room on the ground.
As for the Xiongshan native who was firmly chained and beaten half to death on the iron pile in the cell, he was left here to be guarded by two men day and night, firstly to prevent him from escaping, and secondly to hang him alive.
……
At the same time, Lin Shan, who was hiding on the other side, also received a tip that the newly built Lin's fish pond outside the city was burned down by a group of unknown forces. He also killed all the servants in the courtyard and kidnapped Xiong Shanren, the manager of the fish pond.
"What?!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord and Lu Xiuming on the side were shocked. How could someone sabotage everything so well? Could it be a competitor?
No, the aquatic products industry in Wangyue City has been monopolized by us for a long time. Where are the competitors?
"Brother, do you think we should go check it out?"
"No, we can't act rashly now."
Lin Shan stood up, paced and thought in the secret room, and immediately noticed something was wrong, or in other words, a crisis.
It’s no big deal if that wave of people burned down Lin’s fish pond. If it’s gone, it’s gone. Just build a new one and that’s it.
But the mystery behind the people on Xiong Mountain being kidnapped is a bit intriguing.
Lin Shan became extremely cautious at this time and was unwilling to take risks out of the city.
He turned around and pointed at Lu Xiuming: "You, immediately send people to explore outside the city to search for details and evidence. Do not notify the Wangyue City Internal Affairs Office. Just handle it as an internal matter of our Chamber of Commerce."
"At the same time, please secretly check in the city to see if there is a Dai family from a cultivation family who has sent someone to Wangyue City during this period."
"If so, tell me where they are stationed."
Lin Shan's eyes flashed with cold light, and thoughts surged.
