Su Chuo didn't know how he felt when he heard that Lu Pianpian said that his fourth uncle Su Yu was Chu Xuanji, the elder of the Demon Sect.
Just as she was recalling the past, the formation suddenly opened, and a tall and familiar figure appeared in front of her.
This man is over fifty years old, with a gloomy demeanor and a desolate expression. His rich bookish aura carries a hint of being out of this world.
He looked at Lu Pianpian, his eyes as pale as white clouds couldn't help but reveal his emotional fluctuations.
"What a handsome boy, he's grown so big." Su Yu's Xiao Shu's expression became vivid.
He looked a little happy, but also had an unspeakable meaning.
"Fourth uncle." Lu Pianpian spoke and smiled at Yan Yan, "It is said that fourth uncle lives in seclusion and does not care about worldly affairs, just like a god. My niece thought that fourth uncle did not want to see me."
She had a bright smile on her face, but she said in her heart:
"I didn't expect Elder Chu to be Su Yu. He was really well hidden. Well, Su is a descendant of King Chu. No wonder his alias is Chu."
This matter is somewhat paradoxical. How could Su Yu have thought that the niece in front of him was actually the leader Lu Pianpian?
"Chuo'er, come in." Su Yu was somewhat shocked. This niece was not only stunningly beautiful, but she was also a perfect fifth-grade monk!
Even his personality seems to have changed a lot.
He couldn't help but think of that elegant, quiet, book-loving little girl back then.
But the beautiful woman in front of her was heroic, free and unrestrained, and exuded a kind of heroic spirit.
The bookishness of those days is gone.
But whether it was his bloodline, aura or facial features, it was undoubtedly Su Chuo.
Lu Pianpian Shi Ran followed Su Yu into the Feng Shui Academy and took out a can of spiritual tea.
"Fourth uncle, I know you love drinking tea. This is Qingque Yunming, my niece's filial piety to my fourth uncle."
Su Yu took it over unceremoniously and took Lu Pianpian into the He Library of Feng Shui Academy.
This place is actually his quiet room. He is indifferent and withdrawn, does not like to socialize, and rarely brings people in.
As soon as you enter He Library, you first see a picture of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. Because the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is the ancestor of Feng Shui masters.
There are lots of Feng Shui books around.
The two sat down in front of the case. Su Yu first asked: "Did the head of the family ask you to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan?"
Lu Pianpian shook her head while making tea for Su Yu, "Not yet. I came this time not to return to the family, but just to see my fourth uncle."
"Look at me?" Su Yu said with a faint tone and deep eyes, "Do you want to ask about what happened back then?"
He sighed slightly and put down the tea cup in his hand.
"I know that sooner or later, you brothers and sisters will ask about what happened back then."
"Forget it. It's been so long since you came to see me, so I'll tell you. It's time to tell you about this."
Lu Pianpian and Su Chuo were both a little surprised.
That's not what they meant.
However, Lu Pianpian did not clarify.
But I heard Su Yu say: "Back then, someone in the Su family did collude with the True Sacrifice Cult and leak the secrets of the military. As a result, the plan of the Kuihua Mansion and the army to suppress the True Sacrifice Cult was aborted."
"This matter caused the Kuihua Mansion and Yizhou Mu to investigate the Su Mansion. If the matter becomes serious, although the Su family will not have their home confiscated, they will definitely be punished. Most of them will be seriously injured and their interests will be damaged."
"But actually, that man is not your father."
When Su Yu said this, he suddenly stopped talking and drank tea silently.
But Lu Pianpian could see that he was very uneasy inside.
Lu Pianpian didn't speak, just drank tea quietly.
Su Yu saw Lu Pianpian's expression was calm and showed no intention of questioning. However, a bitter smile slowly appeared on his face.
"That person...is me."
"The Su family member who colluded with the Demon Cult and leaked military information is me, Su Yu. Not your father, Su Dian!"
When Su Chuo heard this, his many years of doubts suddenly became clear.
No wonder my mother was very upset about this incident. It turned out that my father was wrongly accused.
No, he is not being wronged, he should be the scapegoat!
"Fourth Uncle..." Lu Pianpian was not excited, "My niece is aware of this matter. She also knows that it was not Fourth Uncle's original intention."
When Su Yu heard this, he felt even more guilty.
"I don't like to socialize. Your father is a temperamental person. Although I have an indifferent temperament, I only have a close brotherly relationship with him."
"Nine years ago, Wei Zhongxuan, the commander of the Kuihua Mansion, personally sent people to the Su family to investigate the collusion with the Demon Cult. The Sunflower Mansion has found out that those who colluded with the Demon Cult are the core direct descendants of the second generation of the Su family."
"In this way, the scope is narrowed down to Su Zhen, Su Xing, Su Yu, and Su Dian!"
"Your eldest uncle, Su Zhen, is the head of the family. He has no chance. Then he can only be one of your second uncle, Su Xing, me, and your father. Your grandfather conducted an internal investigation in advance and found out that it was me."
"Originally, as long as I plead guilty, it would be enough. If I plead guilty and obey the law, Su will naturally have a way to protect himself. It's just a matter of using his connections and resources."
"But unfortunately, I couldn't plead guilty at all at that time! Because I was on an important mission for my family at the time and couldn't let anything happen to me!"
Su Yu's expression became even more solemn, "I studied Feng Shui and combined it with the family's collection of books, and discovered a shocking secret about the ancient Shu Silkworm clan."
"The shocking secret of the ancient Shu Can clan needs to be solved by Feng Shui and the land. It may be related to the legendary immortality cultivation. The family attaches great importance to it, so I asked me to study it with concentration."
"So, I absolutely couldn't have anything happen to me at that time."
The secret of the Silkworm clan in ancient Shu? Maybe it has something to do with immortality and immortality? Lu Pianpian and Su Chuo fell into deep thought after hearing this.
It’s the ancient Shu Canshi again!
Ancient Shu, Canshi, Madam Butterfly, Old Man Celestial Insect...
But I heard Su Yu continue: "Your second uncle was serving as an observer in Yizhou at that time. His position is important, so of course nothing can happen to him."
"So your grandfather and uncle decided to let your father take the blame. Your father agreed to sacrifice for the sake of the family, so he shouldered the crime and was thrown into prison."
"Originally, your father was going to be executed, your brother was going to be exiled, and you and your mother were going to be slaves in the Jiaofang Department."
"The family spent money on activities, and finally the sentence was changed. However, in order to show loyalty to the court and as a punishment, we can only expel your family from the clan and take away your clan membership."
"This is a secret of the Su family. Only the most core people know it. You juniors are all kept in the dark."
When Su Chuo heard this, he felt bad.
Sure enough, he is guilty!
However, she couldn't blame Su Yu.
A high-ranking family always puts family interests first.
In that case, Su Yu himself could not decide anything at all.
He has an important mission for the family. Even if he wants to plead guilty, his grandfather and the head of the family will not agree.
Sacrificing the father and losing the pawn to save the chariot is the family's style of conduct.
As for the sacrifices and contributions of his family, what do they count?
Lu Pianpian couldn't help but ask: "Since it is a family secret, why did the fourth uncle tell his niece?"
Su Yu sighed, "Because times have changed. The late emperor died, Wei Zhongxuan died, and the Yizhou Shepherd was transferred away, and the world was in chaos."
"Many people rebelled, but the Zhensi Sect, which the imperial court regarded as a serious problem, did not rebel. The enemies of the imperial court became Jinren and rebels, not the Zhensi Sect."
"No one cares about the demon case anymore. There is no need to keep it a secret. Your father should be given justice."
"Although this was not my intention, I was the one who caused your father to suffer. Your father suffered on my behalf. If I kept hiding this from you, I would be even more sorry for your father."
Su Yu was a taciturn man who cherished words like gold. But to Su Chuo, he said a lot in one breath.
Lu Pianpian also looked moved, looking confused.
After a long time, she said: "Fourth uncle hesitated to speak, what else is there?"
Su Yu seemed unwilling to hide from Su Chuo, and said directly: "There is another reason, and that is that my research has not made any progress at all!"
"The Feng Shui situation regarding the secrets of the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Can family cannot be solved at all. The family has lost patience and has no choice but to give up. Since it is given up, it is no longer a top secret."
Lu Pianpian couldn't help but ask: "What is the secret?"
Su Yu frowned slightly and said with a deep expression, "I only deduced the cocoon of the Celestial Insect. That Feng Shui place is hidden in Diebian Mountain, and the secret of the Celestial Insect is hidden in Diebian Mountain."
"But the question is, where is Diebian Mountain? No one knows. I only know that Diebian Mountain is where the tomb of a certain king of the ancient Shu Can clan is located."
"Diebian Mountain cannot be found in the existing history books. There is no place called Diebian Mountain now. Diebian Mountain cannot be found, let alone Celestial Chong?"
Lu Pianpian said: "Is the research terminated just because no clues about Diebian Mountain can be found?"
Su Yu nodded, "Yes. This is the main reason why the research was stopped."
"In order to find clues to Diebian Mountain, Su also checked the classics of the Chang'an Palace, but to no avail. He also checked the Xie family's books in Yangzhou, to no avail."
"I even used the personnel of the Zhensi Sect to investigate clues about Diebian Mountain, but all to no avail."
"It's like... there has never been Butterfly Mountain in this world. I made everything wrong."
"Yizhou is so big, with tens of thousands of mountains. If you don't have any clues, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Well, think about it. Of course, cultivating immortality and immortality is just a delusion. How can it be realized? The ancestor claimed to be from the immortal world, but I'm afraid it is also a lie."
Lu Pianpian suddenly remembered that Chu Xuanji had used the personnel of the Zhensi Sect to investigate an incident many years ago.
At that time, she was not the leader of the cult, she was just the helmsman, so she had no business with Chu Xuanji.
It seems now that he must have been looking for Diebianshan.
"Don't you have any clues?" Lu Pianpian asked unwillingly.
Su Yu shook his head, "There is no clue. If I had known that my research would be meaningless, then your father should not have been blamed. Your grandfather and uncle have always complained about me."
"Also, because Wei Zhongxuan was very powerful at that time and the Kuihua Mansion's spies were all over the world, the family did not dare to help you for fear that the Kuihua Mansion would catch you, so we had no choice but to ignore you."
"After the death of Wei Zhongxuan, the Kuihua Mansion fell into ruin. The family then sent people to Momei County to look for you, but found that you were already gone."
"Chuo'er, if you want to blame, blame your fourth uncle. Don't blame your grandfather and eldest uncle. The Su family has been a family for five to six thousand years. Of course, the family must be the most important thing. If not, the Su family would have been gone long ago."
Lu Pianpian disapproved in her heart and said:
"My Su family's bloodline naturally puts the Su family first. I don't blame my grandfather and uncle, nor do I blame my fourth uncle. But why did the fourth uncle join the Zhensi Cult?"
"Is it just to make a bet? Bet on the True Sacrifice Cult to conquer the world?"
Su Yu shook his head, "It's really not for placing bets. The reason why I took refuge in the Zhensi Sect is because of the beliefs of the Zhensi Sect."
"The more I study Feng Shui and the land, the more I believe in the power of incense in the world. The incense in the world is the biggest Feng Shui situation in the world."
However, Lu Pianpian knew that Su Yu joined the Zhensi Sect under the pseudonym Chu Xuanji, not only because of his faith, but also because the Zhensi Sect had a statue of Xuannv, the founder of Feng Shui.
"Then, why did Fourth Uncle leave the Zhensi Cult and return to the family?"
Su Yu sighed, "Many people in the world know this. There was a coup in the Zhensi Cult, and the position of leader was usurped by Lu Pianpian."
"I am a member of the old leader. Of course I will not work for Lu Pianpian, a person who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors and usurps power and throne."
The timing was indeed right.
Lu Pianpian was depressed and thought to herself: "That woman is fake! I am Lu Pianpian!"
But these words can only be said to Su Chuo.
Lu Pianpian hesitated for a while before explaining her purpose.
"Fourth Uncle, my niece is here today. In addition to visiting her elders, she is also asking Fourth Uncle for help."
While talking, he poured tea for Su Yu, "My father is gone, so I can only ask my fourth uncle for help."
In fact, even if Su Dian was alive, he would not be able to help with this matter.
"Is it about Feng Shui and the geography?" Su Yu guessed it immediately.
Since this niece can become a fifth-grade monk, she must have great opportunities outside, and her teaching skills must be extraordinary.
But he asked for help, which means that the matter must be related to the Feng Shui situation, and ordinary people cannot solve it.
"Fourth uncle is wise!" Lu Pianpian praised, but then showed a sad expression, "My niece has been bullied."
"Who?" Su Yu's face darkened, "Dare to bully you?"
The attitude of the elders has come out.
Lu Pianpian said: "It's Mu Xianling."
"Mu Xian Ling?" Su Yu was startled, "Isn't she already dead? Well, you mean her ghost?"
"Yes." Lu Pianpian quickly told the story about the Shogun Theater, but concealed the story about the statue.
"...I was forced to swear a blood oath to help her out of trouble. If I don't try my best..."
After Su Yu heard this, he looked thoughtful, "Yizhou Muluo Jishi is the leader of the Ge Laohui? Is he the secret actor he raped and killed?"
"I didn't expect that this person hid so deeply and deceived so many people."
Lu Pianpian said: "Should we announce what he did and let him reveal his true colors?"
Of course she had already made her opinion. But she wanted to hear what Su Yu had to say. Su Yu's attitude represented the Su family.
As expected, Su Yu shook his head and said: "Why expose him? Exposing his traitor will be harmful to the Su family and Shu County."
He showed a questioning look, "Chuo'er, do you know why?"
Lu Pianpian pretended to think for a while, and then said in a deep voice:
"Because it is the rebels who are cheap. If he is exposed, Zhang, Li and other rebels will definitely publicize it, the morale of the officers and soldiers will plummet, and Shu County will not be able to survive."
"If the official army is defeated and the rebels enter the city, even if the Su family can be saved, their interests will be greatly damaged."
Su Yu couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, what else?"
"Also..." Lu Pianpian deliberately hesitated for a moment, "Also, Luo Jishi is the shepherd of Yizhou, a feudal official, with hundreds of thousands of troops and the powerful Ge Laohui."
"Once he is exposed and deposed by the imperial court, he is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry, lead an army and Ge Laohui to directly rebel, and separatize Yizhou."
"As a result, Shu County and Jinguan City will be completely in chaos. What our family hates the most is... chaos!"
"Third... once he is exposed, he will find Mu Xianling, and possibly me. The Su family will become his enemy."
Su Yu looked very pleased, "I didn't expect Chuo'er to have such knowledge. Yes, that's the truth."
"The more chaotic Yizhou is, the less good it will be for us. No matter how bad Luo Jishi is, at least he can keep Shu County safe and Jinguan City safe for the time being."
"If Luo Jishi falls and the rebels gain the upper hand, we aristocratic families will suffer the most."
"Okay, I'll help you with this."
"Within three days, I will help you solve the Feng Shui dilemma of Kai Xian Ling."
"However, don't leak anything about Luo Jishi, just wait and see what happens."
The reason why he agreed so happily was not only because Su Chuo was his niece, but also because he felt guilty for Su Chuo's family.
Otherwise, given his character, he would not receive him at all.
In the entire Su family, only a few core people knew that he was a Feng Shui master.
Lu Pianpian was relieved when she heard Su Yu's promise.
If the opponent did not agree, she could only use Chu Xuanji's identity to force the opponent to submit.
While the two were discussing, a voice suddenly came from outside the hospital:
"Fourth uncle, grandfather and the head of the family learned that the eleventh sister had returned, and specially invited the eleventh sister to meet her!"
It was Su Wan's voice.
It turned out that she complained to her grandfather, but his grandfather was very happy when he heard that Su Chuo was back.
He even asked himself to call Su Chuo over to meet him!
Su Wan was very depressed, but he had to come.
"You go ahead." Su Yu said, "Your grandfather will definitely let you recognize your ancestor and return to the clan. I will deal with the matter of Mu Xian Ling as soon as possible."
"When you get back, I'll give you some gifts as a gift."
Lu Pianpian smiled sarcastically, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle!"
With the intention of earning some money as a gift at the Su Mansion, Shi Shiran left the courtyard.
Su Chuo couldn't help but remind her: "It's not easy to get things from the Su family. If you take advantage everywhere, I'm afraid it will burn your hands."
"Hee." Lu Pianpian sighed and said as she walked: "What the hell are you afraid of! Sister is afraid that things will be hot to your hands? Why don't you dare to accept any gift?"
"Just watch, I have things to do and gifts to receive!"
Su Chuo was speechless, "What if we marry you? For the benefit of the family, they are very overbearing."
Lu Pianpian didn't care at all and was heartless, "If you want to marry me... I'll take this opportunity to defraud you of a lot of money!"
