Chapter 163: Exorcising the corpses of the Wu family
…
It goes without saying that being the concierge of a cultivating family requires great discernment. He didn't know Xu Junming, but he had seen the symbol of the Maoshan Southern Sect, the Nine-Lao Immortal Capital Divine Fire Seal, more than once.
"Excuse me, Master, please wait a moment. I'll go in and report!"
The Maoshan Nan Sect has a great reputation and is the top sect in the spiritual world. With this blessing, the expression on the boy's face instantly became a bit respectful.
"Excuse me!"
The courtyard door was closed, and after a short time, it was opened again.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple-black robe and a jade crown with a slender face and a very eye-catching scar on his forehead opened the door and walked out.
After examining Xu Junming for a while, he cupped his fists and said, "Now let's go to Wu Liyan of the Wu family. May I ask which master of the Maoshan Southern Sect the little Taoist Master is?"
"If you don't dare to be an expert, let's try Xu Junming again!"
Wu Liyan's eyes lit up.
"But Xu Junming, Taoist priest Xu, who won the first place in the competition between the northern and southern sects of Maoshan and was known as the 'Xuanyin Tyrant Sword'?"
The corner of Xu Junming's mouth trembled. It seemed that this lame nickname of 'Xuanyin Ba Dao' could not be changed until he entered the golden elixir and reestablished his Taoist title.
After pinching his nose and nodding, Wu Liyan's attitude suddenly became more attentive.
"I have admired the name of Taoist Master Xu for a long time. Today, Taoist Master can come to my Wu family, and my Wu family is really in full bloom!"
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Wu!"
"Please come in quickly!"
"please!"
The boy who came with him quickly opened the middle door.
"Hurry up and inform the eldest master that Taoist Xu Junming, the Xuanyin Ba Dao of Maoshan Southern Sect, is here to visit, and ask him to come and entertain the guests as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
After answering, a boy hurried towards the backyard.
"Daozhang Xu, please!"
"please!"
Under the leadership of Wu Liyan, the two walked through the porch and entered the open front yard.
After briefly taking a look at the courtyard, which is half a football field in size, surrounded by verandas on both sides and with flowers and plants planted in the corners, you pass through the central straight road, go up the steps, bypass the bronze tripod, enter the center and sit facing the north.
The southern hall.
The main hall is two feet high, six feet wide from north to south, and twelve feet long from east to west.
There are two thick and spacious tiger leather armchairs in the middle, and there are six rows of fourteen armchairs on both sides.
There are two chairs in each of the first two rows, and three chairs in each of the four back rows.
"Daozhang Xu, please sit down, my elder brother will be here soon!"
Xu Junming nodded and sat down on the seat on the right.
Not long after, four maids in purple shirts came in carrying fruits and tea.
"Tao Zhang Xu has been tired all the way. Please use some tea to quench your thirst!"
"Thank you!"
He picked up the teacup and put it to his nose and took a sniff.
"The delicious Guzhang Maojian is cultivated by your family, right?"
"I didn't expect that Taoist Master Xu is also a master of tea. Most people can't tell the difference between Guzhang Maojian and Baima Maojian, Baojing Golden Tea, and other green teas." Wu Liyan nodded and said.
"Fellow Daoist Wu is overrated. I'm just quite good at this art. I don't dare to take the word 'holy hand' seriously."
Just as Wu Liyan was about to speak, he heard footsteps approaching from far outside.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a purple-black robe, a vest, and a square hat, slightly fatter, with three strands of long beard on his chin, adding a certain amount of charisma, strode in.
Behind him, there was also a tall and tall young man wearing a sword suit, with long eyebrows and a hint of unruliness in his posture.
"Brother!"
Wu Liyan stood up.
The middle-aged man, and the young man behind him, all looked at Xu Junming who stood up.
After both sides looked at each other for a moment, the bearded man smiled and cupped his hands.
"Exit Wu Lidao again, this is the dog Wu Feixiong, I have met fellow Taoist Xu!"
"Xu Junming has met you two!"
After the two parties greeted each other, Wu Lide unceremoniously sat in the center seat.
The young man named Wu Feixiong stood behind his father and continued to examine Xu Junming.
The look in his eyes seemed unbelievable. The guy in front of him who looked younger than him was the one who became famous in the spiritual world a year ago. He overcame dozens of innate disciples from the two sects in the north and south of Maoshan and won the top spot in the competition. He was called the young man.
The most promising figure of the generation to achieve the golden elixir.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please sit down!"
"Thank you!"
After the three of them sat down, Wu Lidao continued.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is here to visit. Do you have anything important to do?"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Junming nodded.
"I came here on request."
"Oh? I wonder who entrusted Wu Daoyou?"
"Wu Lide!"
"My second brother?"
Wu Lidao looked as if he didn't know Wu Lide was dead.
"Don't the Wu family have any means like soul lanterns to monitor the lives and deaths of their disciples?" Xu Junming thought to himself.
"Exactly!"
"I wonder why my second brother asked fellow Taoist Xu to come here?"
"Fellow Daoist Wu Lide died at the hands of the Nine Lives True Monarch. Before he left, he asked an elder of mine to send his body back to the Wu family. My elder had something to do and couldn't leave, so he asked me to come here to put an end to the matter!
"
Wu Lidao, Wu Liyan's expression changed drastically, and they all stood up.
"Is this what fellow Taoist said true?!" Wu Lidao said with a gloomy expression.
Xu Junming nodded slowly.
"Damn Nine Lives True Lord. Brother, we must avenge our second brother!" Wu Liyan said angrily.
"Dad, we must kill the Nine Lives True Monarch to avenge our second uncle!" Wu Feixiong followed closely.
Mao Miaomiao lay on Xu Junming's shoulder, curling up the corner of her mouth and showing disdain in her eyes.
With its current level of cultivation, combined with the stronger 'Xuanyin Thorn', let alone revenge, the three of them combined would be a gift to themselves.
After waving to signal the two of them not to say anything, Wu Lidao looked directly at Xu Junming.
"I dare to ask Fellow Daoist Xu, how did my second brother offend the Nine Lives True Lord? How was he killed by him? How did he finally hand over the affairs behind his death to the elder of Fellow Daoist?"
"I don't know the cause of the incident. It is said that my brother robbed the ghost...!"
Xu Junming stared at the three of them closely. When he said these words, Wu Lidao's expression remained unchanged, Wu Liyan's eyebrows trembled slightly, and only Wu Feixiong's face changed slightly, his pupils tightened, showing a little nervousness.
"This led to a conflict. My brother combined his life corpse and lost to the Nine Lives True Lord. He was seriously injured and his soul was about to be extinguished. Later, he fled to Taohuashan Yizhuang in Sanyang Town. I, Uncle Li Sifang, explained the funeral arrangements.
, after telling my uncle the location of the Wu family, he died of his injuries and his soul was gone."
Wu Lidao took a deep breath, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed deeply to Xu Junming.
Wu Liyan and Wu Feixiong also bowed and saluted.
"Thank you, Daoist Fellow Xu, for sending my second brother's soul back."
"It's a matter of loyalty to others when you are entrusted by others. You don't have to be polite, Daoyou Wu!"
After saying that, he took out the meteor ball and reached out to make a move. Wu Lide's body instantly appeared in front of his eyes. With a slap on the magic bag, the seriously injured zombie also appeared next to him.
"Second brother!"
Wu Lidao cried out.
"Second brother!"
"Second uncle!"
Looking at Wu Lide's body, the three of them burst into tears, but except for Wu Lidao and Wu Liyan, Wu Feixiong didn't have much sadness on his face.
As for the first two, I don’t know whether they are really sad or just acting.
After crying for a while.
"Third brother, please go down and explain that we have to attend to the funeral of the second brother."
"yes!"
"Feixiong, you can take Fellow Daoist Xu to stay in the guest room, don't neglect it!"
"Yes, Dad!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I am still anxious to arrange the funeral for my second brother. I will take some time to express my gratitude to Fellow Daoist Xu after I finish this matter!"
Xu Junming nodded.
"It's human nature, Fellow Daoist Wu, please give me your condolences and be patient!"
"Thank you!"
After cupping his fists and saluting, Xu Junming turned around and walked out of the hall under the leadership of Wu Feixiong.
Looking at his leaving figure, Wu Lidao's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
A moment after Xu Junming left, Wu Liyan, who had left before, came back.
"Brother!"
Wu Lidao, who was looking at Wu Liyan's body, nodded slightly, paying particular attention to the big hole that penetrated Wu Lide's chest.
"Did you say that the person who killed the second brother was really the Nine Lives True Lord?"
Wu Liyan's expression changed.
"Brother suspects that Xu Junming is responsible?"
"It's not impossible! However, there is still some demonic energy left on this wound, which is exactly the same as the demonic aura on the black zombie next to it. It is indeed a monster."
"Xu Junming was born in the Southern Sect of Maoshan, so it is impossible for him to have demonic aura!" Wu Liyan paused and said hesitantly, "Brother doubts the black cat on his shoulder?"
Wu Lide reached out and brushed the claw marks on the black armor.
"Don't you think these marks look like cat's claws?"
"There is indeed some resemblance, but the Tao Qi in the black cat's body does not match the demonic Qi remaining on the second brother's body."
"This is exactly what I'm confused about!"
"Brother, could it be that we are paranoid? The person who killed the second brother was the Nine Lives True Lord!"
"It's best this way, otherwise our Wu family will be in big trouble!"
Wu Liyan looked solemn and nodded slightly.
"Is there any news from Fourth Brother?"
"My fourth brother called me and said that I have found a place to stay in Laos with beautiful mountains and rivers!"
Wu Lidao's expression was shocked, his left fist clenched subconsciously, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
After taking a few steps, a look of determination appeared on his face.
"Second brother, you immediately arrange for Fei Xiong, Fei Ying and the others to move all the old and weak at home, and we will set off tonight."
"Brother, are you too impatient? There isn't even a place to live over there...!"
He waved his hand to interrupt him.
"A great catastrophe is about to occur in the land of China. Now we are trapped in it and it is difficult to escape. But the Wu family cannot die with us. Otherwise, we will not be able to see the ancestors of the Wu family again under the Nine Springs."
"Brother, we have Taizu in our hands. As long as we pay attention, we won't end up dying, right?"
Wu Lidao sighed.
"I hope so too. But the arrival of Xu Junming gave me a wake-up call. Compared with top-level visitors such as Maoshan, Longhushan, and Louguandao, although Taizu is strong, he is far inferior to them.
Don’t make plans in advance.”
"Brother, how about we take that Xu Junming...!"
Wu Liyan had a ruthless expression on his face.
Wu Lidao hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Xu Junming is a true disciple of Maoshan. He has received even more attention after winning the competition. If he dies, Maoshan Nanzong will definitely investigate to the end. With their methods, we cannot escape the involvement."
"What the elder brother said is true, but I didn't think carefully."
"But your words are not unreasonable!"
"Brother, you...?"
Wu Lidao pondered for a moment.
"Let's take a look first and then talk about it. Sometimes we don't have to do it ourselves to kill someone."
