Chapter 1757 Cut down the tree and demolish the house
The news that Bai Hetongzi had visited the Liu family spread so quickly.
But what does it mean that the Liu family is stable?
Li Xiaobai grabbed a few people who were just talking on the roadside and asked in a deep voice: "Guys, isn't it good for you to say trivial things in front of the Great God Bai He?"
"Bai...Baihe Great God!"
"Your Majesty, the great one, please bow to me!"
Those people saw the boy named White Crane behind Li Xiaobai. His legs were weak and his kowtow was like pounding garlic. In their eyes, the boy named White Crane was no different from the God of Death.
"You just said that the Great White Crane went to the Liu family, and then the Liu family became stable. What do you mean?"
"How much do you know about the affairs of the Liu family? You need to reveal everything. You must not hide anything. Otherwise, you will be severely punished!"
Li Xiaobai shouted sharply.
"Sir, don't be surprised. I just told the rumors I heard and don't know anything about the Liu family!"
The middle-aged man in the lead was sweating profusely.
The person who can follow the Great White Crane is definitely not ordinary. Today he made a mistake and is likely to be silenced if he is targeted.
Li Xiaobai did not accept this trick: "Then tell me the rumors you know. If they are true, I will spare you once."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"These are just rumors without verification, and even a villain doesn't know whether they are true or false."
"It's just that there was a demon in the Liu family, and the underworld officials went to investigate, but when they came out, they kept silent, didn't mention it, and didn't deal with it. Over time, some rumors spread."
The middle-aged man did not dare to look at Li Xiaobai and lowered his head.
"What rumor?"
"It is said that the daughter-in-law of the Liu family is not pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Liu family's young master, but a high-ranking and powerful person in the underworld."
"The villain is just hearing it, but this statement does make sense. Only in this way can we explain why the evil spirit is so close, but the underworld officials have done nothing."
"Then why did you say just now that the Liu family will be stable if the Great White Crane goes to the Liu family? In what way will it be stable?"
Li Xiaobai continued to ask.
"Sir, if you think about it, if what the villain just said is true, then the Liu family will definitely need the help of many dignitaries if they want to escape from this storm. We know that there are evil spirits in the Liu family, but the Great White Crane is just like the great gods of the underworld.
Choosing to put it aside for the time being and exit cautiously speaks volumes."
The middle-aged man is a talkative person by nature. Although he is frightened, he can talk endlessly about these gossips.
Only the initial rumors were of some value, and the more they went on, the more outrageous they became. This guy even speculated whether the daughter-in-law of the Liu family was pregnant with the flesh and blood of King Shura or King Yama. Li Xiaobai's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
He took Baihe Boy around and returned to the Liu family's mansion.
Along the way, he found many passers-by to inquire about the news, and planned to sort out their opinions, which could be roughly divided into two groups.
One group is that as the middle-aged man said, the daughter-in-law of the Liu family is not pregnant with a ghost fetus at all, but the flesh and blood of a highly respected person, so the monks in the underworld turn a blind eye. No matter how fierce the trouble is and how many people are silenced, they will do nothing.
.
The rhetoric of the other faction is very similar to that of Grandma Liu. They both believe that the bureaucratic system of today's underworld is cumbersome, which makes it difficult to complete many things that need to be implemented to the right place. In addition, this time both sides want to take the opportunity to weaken each other's power.
It is naturally even more difficult to be vaguely involved in power struggles.
However, according to the Yinzai of the Reincarnation Department, these missing persons were killed by Black and White Wuchang, which actually increased the credibility of the rumors a lot.
If you really just want to wait for the other party to make a mistake first so as to impeach him, there is no need to abolish Zhou Zhang and kill people to silence him.
However, we still need to explore the Liu family mansion to know the truth.
"Senior Bai He, let's go meet Aunt Liu again. We must meet the Liu family's daughter-in-law this time."
Li Xiaobai looked at Baihe Boy, and what he saw was still a dead face.
This guy doesn't speak or take action. His only function is to intimidate his opponent so that he can show off.
The door of Liu's house was wide open, but there was no one inside, and it was still so desolate and lonely.
There isn't even a caretaker.
The two of them walked into it casually, not rushing to look for Aunt Liu first, but wandering around the house on their own. If something happened in the Liu family, there would definitely be some clues left somewhere.
The White Crane boy remained motionless, always facing the wall of the house. The house was made of wood. Li Xiaobai had seen it last time, and there were no other abnormalities except that the wood was stained with some white powder.
But this time, he felt nervous because he found the same white powder on the ancient trees in the courtyard.
Although sporadic, the distribution is very concentrated. Only the lower half of the ancient tree has it, and no trace of the white powder has been found in the upper half.
Li Xiaobai came close to Baihe Boy and looked at the white powder on the wall of the house together. They were indeed the same substance.
The powder seeps out from inside the wood. It doesn't look like something like this is growing in the wood, but to find out what this thing is, I'm afraid you have to cut the wood open.
If you demolish someone's house without knowing anything, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome afterwards.
"Aren't these the Great Gods Li and White Crane? Why didn't they inform me in advance when they came to the humble house? I couldn't welcome them from afar, so I hope you can forgive me."
An old woman's voice came from behind, and at some point Grandma Liu came around behind them and was looking at them with a smile.
"Hahaha, Aunt Liu doesn't have to be like this. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. Today, I and the White Crane God made a sudden visit and asked Aunt Liu not to take offense."
Li Xiaobai laughed heartily, not feeling any embarrassment at all. He walked to the hall and sat down with a smile on his face. He was familiar with the traffic and did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
"Aunt Liu, the wood in your house is quite good. Which tree did it come from?"
"The great god was joking. They are just some dead wood. They are all brought from the Yang world. The ancient trees in the underworld have too much Yin energy, and the human body will be disturbed by it if they live there for a long time."
Aunt Liu brought tea and water, her face was pleasant, and she had no intention of getting into trouble with what had just happened.
"That's too modest. I think the ancient trees in the courtyard are pretty good. What kind of tree are they?"
Li Xiaobai never left the wood. He felt that there must be something wrong with the white powder on the wood.
Aunt Liu's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes gradually became gloomy.
"That's Mr. Willow Tree. The willow branches have been cut down, leaving only this thick trunk. It has not fallen down for many years. Counting its age, it is nearly a hundred years old."
"That can be said to be a sacred tree."
Li Xiaobai nodded, thinking about how to cut down the tree to see its structure, and then demolish the Liu family's house to see what the white powder inside was.
Aunt Liu asked: "I wonder if the two gods are here today, but what is the important matter?"
"My son has gone out. If you are looking for him, you can come back tomorrow."
"Mama Liu, it's just a good time that he's not here. We're here to find your daughter-in-law."
