"What else can you mean? Your parents are just liars!" Chen Fu'an said with a look of disdain, "Six months ago, my family ordered a batch of spiritual weapons from your shop and agreed to deliver them within three months.
I also paid a deposit of ten yuan for medium-grade spiritual stones, but your father didn’t even say anything about the delivery, and just walked away. Are you doing this kind of business? What’s wrong with me coming to ask for an explanation?”
"Didn't you capture my parents?" Lu Chenhua was stunned, as if he had not thought of this answer.
"Even if I want to arrest them, I still have to find someone!" he said, getting angrier.
"Then where are my parents?"
"how could I know."
Lu Chenhua became even more panicked. He thought that the Chen family was targeting him because of his feud with Chen Fu'an, and deliberately made things difficult for them. But the Chen family didn't know their whereabouts, so where would their parents go?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, so he turned around and went back with his sword to look for clues.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, stop!" Chen Fuan wanted to stop him but it was too late, and his face instantly turned round with anger. What the hell, was he beaten in vain?
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist." In the end, the young master stepped forward and took out a spiritual stone.
"It's just a piece of spiritual stone. You think... a high-grade spiritual stone!" The other party was halfway angry, his eyes widened in an instant, and he looked straight at the spiritual stone, and all the anger on his face disappeared.
The next moment, he immediately took it, raised his swollen face like a pig's head, coughed and said, "Ahem! That's all, for the sake of fellow Taoist, I won't care about such a trivial matter.
"As he said that, he immediately stuffed the spirit stone into his pocket. One high-grade spirit stone can be worth a hundred middle-grade spirit stones. It's worth it!
"..."
Worried that something might happen to Lu Chenhua, the two of them left the pasture without staying any longer.
When Chen Fuan arrived, he glanced at the direction in which the few people were leaving. After thinking for a long time, he called the servant aside and said, "Go back and inform dad that Lu Chenhua is back."
"Yes, Master!" The servant nodded and quickly left the pasture.
————————
When Hongge came back, I had already searched around the house twice, but still couldn't find any clues, and his parents didn't even leave him a single word.
"Where have my parents gone?" The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and his whole face wrinkled up. "I will send them a message tomorrow morning and I will come back. There is no way they won't wait for me."
Chen Yue also made a tracing spell, trying to find the traces of Lu's father and mother, but maybe because the other party had been away for too long, all the aura and spiritual power had disappeared, so the spell had no effect, so she had to keep silent.
Asked, "Do you have any other relatives?"
"No." Lu Chenhua shook his head.
"Then do your parents have any enemies with anyone?"
"I can't think of anyone else except the Chen family." Lu Chenhua then began to explain that it turned out that the Chen family used to be in the spiritual weapon business just like theirs, just because his family's spiritual weapons were of higher quality and their business was better and slower.
The Chen family was too slow to continue doing business, and later switched to other businesses. It became more and more prosperous, and is now considered one of the richest families in Jizhou City.
But because of the previous issue of competing for business, the relationship between the two families was not good. In addition, both families had sons, and the two had not dealt with each other since they were young. Especially after Lu Chenhua found out that he had Tianlinggen and joined the Xuantian Sect.
, the two families have a certain attitude of not having any contact with each other, and they will also make things difficult for each other in business.
That's why after hearing that Chen Fu'an came to make trouble, he was so sure that the other party had kidnapped his parents.
There were no clues at home, so the three of them had to go out to inquire. However, they asked around the city, but no one knew the whereabouts of the Lu family and his wife. Some people who knew about it only thought that the Lu family was driven out of Jizhou City by the Chen family.
Lu Chenhua became more and more anxious. He was visibly agitated and restless. Hongge was also a little anxious. There was no surveillance in this era, so it was really difficult to find someone if they lost contact.
"Let me try the tracking technique again." The young master's uncle kneaded the technique again and adjusted his breathing aura to trace the remaining spiritual power in the room. As soon as he started the technique, he was suddenly stunned and his brows instantly furrowed.
.
"What's wrong?" Hongge asked.
The young uncle didn't answer, but walked out of the room quickly, looked at the west corner and said, "Since my Taoist friend is here, why don't you show up to see me." After saying that, he waved his hand and shot a magic spell towards the big tree on the west side of the courtyard.
.
The next moment, a white light flashed across the tree crown and disappeared into the distance.
The young master's uncle flashed and chased after him.
Only then did Hong Ge and Lu Chenhua realize that someone was watching them, and they immediately chased after them with their swords.
The young uncle flew very fast and was out of the city in an instant. When the two arrived, the young uncle was already standing on a hillside, holding a piece of paper thoughtfully.
Check.
"Uncle Junior Master." Hong Ge instantly noticed the piece of paper in his hand. It was a white paper man with red thin lines and runes drawn on it, densely drawn into shapes like eyes and nose. Look,
The look was a bit perplexing, "What is this?"
"Puppet." The young master's uncle frowned and explained in a deep voice, "The puppet that escaped from the tree before was probably placed there by someone beforehand."
"Who put it there? Why did they put it on my tree?" Lu Chenhua also glanced at the paper man, "Could it be that the person who captured my parents knew that I would come back and put it there deliberately to monitor us."
"I don't know." The young master turned over the paper figure in his hand, "But the spiritual power on this puppet has dissipated, and it is impossible to find out where its owner is."
"Eh? Why do I think it smells like oil!" Hongge picked up the paper figurine and smelled it, but the smell disappeared again.
"It must be cinnabar!" Lu Chenhua guessed.
Hongge turned her hand and handed it to Bird, who was napping against her on her shoulder, "Silly bird, smell it!"
Ga??
The stupid bird was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was about to work. He immediately fluffed his feathers and stood up straight. He held the piece of paper in his mouth and smelled it carefully. After a while, he jumped to the ground and sniffed everywhere.
"Can you smell where it comes from?" she asked nervously.
The silly bird tilted its head, as if thinking, and after a while it found a direction and tentatively extended its claws.
Gaga~ (a little bit)
"Even a stupid bird can't be sure." She turned to look at the two of them and explained.
"Go over and take a look first." The young uncle decided immediately.
The three of them then headed in the direction pointed by the silly bird. However, the further they went, the denser the forest became. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the surrounding area was getting darker. Several people thought they were looking in the wrong direction.
When I was there, a house suddenly appeared in front of me.
The house is quite small and surrounded by walls. It is very hidden deep in this dense forest. You will never find it if you don't go into the forest.
"This is... the other courtyard of the Chen family!" Lu Chenhua pointed to the mark with an animal head on the wall of the courtyard and said, "Only the Chen family's house would have such a mark painted on it."
