Knowing that his magical weapon had not been touched, Qiu Beidou breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of us stayed in the hotel until dark, and after having a casual dinner, Qiu Beidou summoned the ghost Qiu Tianming's soul from Zhuge Zheng's body.
A ball of white air floated out from the mouth of the ugly Taoist priest, and after condensing into a human form, it turned into a man in his mid-twenties.
This hazy 'person' immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Beidou and said:
"My grandson Qiu Tianming kowtows to his ancestors"
"There is no rush in kowtowing. You get up first. I have a few words to ask you."
After Qiu Beidou watched the soul stand up, he continued:
"Tell me the truth, ancestor. Has the family's family fortune been completely ruined?"
At this time, Qiu Tianming naturally did not speak for anyone. He nodded and said:
"When I remember, my family had no money.
I heard that a few generations ago, an ancestor had a dream.
He said that he dreamed that you came down to earth to see us, and also said that you would take us to ascend to immortality together.
From that day on, no one worked in the family. At first, they relied on some real estate to collect some rent and ground rent.
Later, the clan gave you a slap in the face and held two centenary birthdays for you. On that occasion, they sold all the houses and land that could be sold.
Later, they just sat there and had nothing to do, and within a few years the family lost all their money.
Later, I lived by selling off my property, waiting for you to come down to earth and take us away with you.
But before you came down from the mountain, you sold everything you could sell at home, and then you started selling worthless things.
It's not the nonsense of me as a senior, those elders are too ungrateful.
Back then, the news about your ascension to immortality spread widely, and emperors of all dynasties would give our Qiu family a lot of rewards during festivals.
At that time, the patriarchs and elders could still be somewhat concerned about their face, but by the late Qing Dynasty, they were no longer so shameless.
Selling began in the fifth year of the Republic of China. There are only a few pieces of the Kangxi Dynasty's sunset cup. The result? Qiu Xunli, the patriarch at the time, sold the treasure for 100,000 yuan but sold it for 3,000 yuan.
I don't know anything else. In the year of Qiu Xunli's sixtieth birthday, he suddenly gave up his position as the patriarch.
He took his wife and children to France. He heard that his surname was no longer Qiu, and he changed his surname back to Yang.
When every generation of patriarchs sells their ancestral property, they are harming the public and enriching themselves.
The more the family sells, the poorer it gets, but the patriarchs are so rich that they basically resign as patriarchs after making enough money, and move to other cities with their own family members to buy houses and land."
When Qiu Tianming talked about the past clan leaders, he could not stop talking more and more. Finally, Zhuge Zhengqi stopped him and said:
"If we have a chance to talk about something like this later, take us to the mausoleum first.
After Mr. Beidou gets the magic weapon and immortal body he had before his ascension, those moths will naturally not be able to escape justice."
Although Qiu Beidou's face turned red with anger, he thought that getting the magic weapon earlier would give him more protection.
At that moment, he suppressed his anger and said to his descendants who were not related by blood:
"The ugly boy is right, let's do business first
You will take us to the mausoleum, and after my affairs are settled, I will find a way for you to be reborn into a wealthy family in your next life."
Qiu Tianming once again thanked us profusely, and then he got into the car with us.
Under the guidance of this soul, in less than half an hour, the car drove to the ravine in the suburbs.
There seems to be a small village in the ravine, with dozens of bungalows built inside, and there is a three-story villa in the middle.
Soul sat in the passenger seat, pointed in the direction of the villa, and said:
"Qiu Jiefang and the others were in the villa in the middle. If it weren't for the property rights of rural land, these houses would have been sold early in the morning.
The clan leader and the elders who can talk to him live in villas, and the clan members who can't survive in Guangling live in this row of bungalows.
If they don't make money, they just rely on the family members' wealth.
Food and accommodation are all at the clan’s expense, and an additional five hundred yuan is given as pocket money a month.”
"My master, uncle and uncles are all well-known figures. How could there be such descendants?"
Soul said a little embarrassed:
"My ancestors, no matter how we walked, we had to pass by those houses.
Once you let those people see you, you will be in trouble no matter how big or small.”
"It's none of your business."
Qiu Beidou was already ready. He took out a few white stones
After throwing me a stone, he said:
"Little monkey, put this in your mouth and press it under your tongue. Don't swallow it."
According to Fatty Qiu's words, I held the pebble in my mouth and then said to him:
"Then what? Go in and rub stones on the faces of your descendants, even if you want to take revenge - what's going on? Where are we?"
Just when I was halfway through speaking, Zhuge Zhengqi pointed at the rearview mirror. I glanced at it accidentally. There was only the seat in the mirror, and I seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Looking down at my body, I vaguely understood what had happened:
"Invisible? Am I invisible?
If you have this ability, Brother Immortal, you wouldn’t have known it long ago.”
"Look at your potential."
Qiu Beidou also took a stone in his mouth, and then continued to say to me:
"This invisibility method is only enough for one stick of incense. Hurry in and get my magic weapon and come out."
While talking, he had already opened the car door and was the first to get out of the car.
Zhuge Zhengqi and I followed Qiu Beidou, and then our souls wandered to Fatty Qiu's side, and then showed him the way to the tomb.
Soon, a few of us passed by the doors of dozens of bungalows, and no one noticed anything wrong outside the door.
Occasionally passing by a bungalow, Qiu Beidou looked inside a few times.
The people living there are not drinking the cheapest liquor and boasting the most unreliable bullshit.
That is to add incense to the statue of Qiu Beidou, to wish this immortal ancestor to come down to earth soon and take them to heaven to enjoy blessings.
Soon, a few of us walked to the door of the villa in the middle.
Soul signaled us to go in first, Zhuge Zhengqi slowly pushed open the courtyard door, and a few of us took the opportunity to get in.
The faint sound of opening the door still startled the people inside.
An old man whom I had met in the restaurant at noon poked his head out of the room and shouted into the courtyard:
"Who? Who's coming in?
Is it Qiu Laosan? How many times have I told you that I didn’t bring any money back today.
You too, why don't you go out and find something to do? You can't always count on the clan to support you.
Qiu Laosan, I’m talking to you.”
While talking, the old man walked out of the room, walked to the door and took a closer look, but found nothing.
At this time, under the guidance of the soul, we arrived at the door of the basement.
The soul pointed to the stairs in the basement and said:
