Killing Qiao Shaofen was only half the story.
Shui Yongquan said: "According to my inference, this Qiao Shaofen should be a contract guardian, a confidant who guards the contract for the Wuqi Madam."
Li Banfeng and Qiu Luoye both understood the concept of keeping a contract, as they had heard Xiao Yeci say it.
But Li Banfeng felt that Qiao Shaofen was not the Keeper of the Pact.
"Two eldest brothers, Qiao Shaofen's cultivation level is not low, he should be in the clouds, right?"
Qiu Luoye nodded and said: "Tuo Tuo Yun Shang, this mud is so familiar that it can't be beaten to death after a long time. It's not something that earth can do."
Li Banfeng said: "Can a Yunshang cultivator serve as a contract guardian for others?"
Shui Yongquan was cautious by nature, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "When talking about Wuqiang hometown before, they always said that the God of the Earth is Wuqian's wife, but I have never heard of Qiao Shaofen's name."
Qiu Luoye waved her hand and said, "Qiao Shaofen is a fake name, used to hide your identity. Why bother thinking about it?"
"Don't be arbitrary," Shui Yongquan shook his head slightly, "She may be a confidant of Madam Wuqian. Even if her cultivation level has improved, she will still be loyal to Madam Wuqian."
Qiu Luoye snorted and said: "If you are not a relative or a friend, how can you be loyal in this poor place?"
Shui Yongquan was speechless for a moment, Qiu Luoye's words made sense, and talking about loyalty in a hometown without relatives seemed to be nonsense.
Qiu Luoye said again: "The three of us fought with her for a long time just now. This person should have the cultivation level of the second level of Yunshang. If you say that she is a follower, I definitely don't believe it.
Furthermore, if Qiao Shaofen is really a follower and she was beaten like that just now, why didn't she call Madam Wuxi for help?"
Shui Yongquan said: "Maybe Mrs. Wuqing is not here."
Li Banfeng said: "If she is an unaccompanied lady, it will save us trouble. If she is a contract-keeper, it will prove that she abides by the contract and it will be easier to find the contract."
Qiu Luoye nodded and said: "Lao Qi is right, what nonsense are you talking about here? Hurry up and find the deed!"
The three of them came to the door of the house. Qiu Luoye walked directly in, but Shui Yongquan pulled him back again.
"Don't worry, you still have to be cautious."
Qiu Luoye said anxiously: "Be cautious, so much caution, what do you want to do, tell me quickly!"
"I'll try to find a way first." Shui Yongquan shook the water hyacinth, and there wasn't much water in it.
Li Banfeng said: "I am a traveling cultivator. I have the skills to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. I am also very fast. Let me explore the path."
After saying that, Li Banfeng jumped into the yard.
Qiu Luoye looked at the gushing spring and said, "It's so miserable, Old Shui. At our age, it's really miserable to have our little brother explore the road ahead. It's so miserable to work with you!"
Shui Yongquan said: "I don't have enough water, and I don't want to let Lao Qi take risks."
In fact, Li Banfeng is also a little worried. Whether this is the place where the deed is or the residence of the Earth God, there are bound to be various traps inside. If Mrs. Wuqing is still alive, she may die if she encounters it.
To be on the safe side, Li Banfeng went back to his home and brought two cabbage boys with him, hoping that they would walk around the yard.
As a result, they didn't even make it halfway around the circle. The two cabbage men got stuck in the quagmire and disappeared.
Li Banfeng was very nervous. He took out a dozen more cabbage men from his residence. With the cooperation of each other, they walked to the main room with difficulty and helped Li Banfeng clear a way.
Li Banfeng marked the road, collected the cabbage men, and called Shui Yongquan and Qiu Luoye to come in.
The three of them entered the main room together. Li Banfeng observed for a long time and couldn't see where the deed could be hidden.
At this time, you still have to rely on water springs.
There was not much water left in the water hyacinth, but it was barely enough for indoor exploration. A few drops of water poured out from the spring and fell on the ground.
Qiu Xiangxiang smacked his lips: "Old Shui, is this golden juice? Why are you so distressed? Pour more."
Shui Yongquan frowned and said, "This is the spiritual water I refined. Don't compare it with Golden Juice!"
A few drops of water spread out, forming an invisible water film that covered the entire room.
This is a second-level water cultivation technique that penetrates every hole.
Under this technique, the water film can penetrate into all the gaps in the room, replacing Shui Yongquan's eyes, looking for hidden compartments in the room.
After searching for a long time, Shui Yongquan came to the back room, got under the bed, and soon took out a jar.
Qiu Luoye frowned and said, "Is the deed here?"
Shui Yongquan opened the jar, and a foul smell wafted out.
"What is this?" Qiu Luoye pinched her nose.
Shui Yongquan said: "This is a jar specially designed to hold mud. It can turn mud into a puppet. It is an excellent magic weapon."
Li Banfeng listened with the skill of discerning spiritual sounds, and the jar was talking: "It's too dry, it's too dry, give me some water."
Shui Yongquan said to Li Banfeng: "Lao Qi, keep this good thing."
It is true that there are not many magic weapons that can be turned into puppets. Li Banfeng deliberately kept it, but his wife loves to be clean, so this thing may not be popular: "It is inconvenient to bring such a large magic weapon with you when traveling, so I'd better give it to Brother Qiu."
Qiu Luoye shook his head and said, "No! I have the magic weapon. This thing is too intoxicating."
"Don't pull it down!" Shui Yongquan put the jar away by himself and groped under the bed for a long time.
There was a clanking sound under the bed, and the gushing water triggered many mechanisms. Fortunately, his cultivation level was high enough, so he avoided some mechanisms and resisted some.
After testing for more than an hour, Shui Yongquan came up with something.
It's not a deed, it's a yellow box with a silver ring engraved on it.
Qiu Luoye smiled: "This is the ground seal!"
Finding the seal on the ground was equivalent to finding the deed. Li Banfeng was about to get under the bed and dig out the deed, but Shui Yongquan advised:
"Lao Qi, we have already obtained the land seal, so there is no need to dig up the deed. The popularity inside belongs to us.
With popularity, we will have cultivation. After all, this is the deed of the local god. If we really dig it out, I'm afraid..."
Bang!
The fallen autumn leaves lifted the bed.
"I'm angry when you talk about it. I've already found the deed, why don't you dig it up? Madam Wuxi is dead, why don't we dig it up and wait for others to come and get it?"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of crossbow arrows came out from under the bed. Qiu Luoye didn't even bother to hide. He let the crossbow arrows pierce his body, then pulled them out and threw them aside.
call!
A ball of flames spurted out and burned all over Qiu Luoye's body.
Qiu Luoye wiped the black ash on his face and continued digging.
A large group of loaches flew out, hung on the autumn leaves, and burrowed into the flesh.
Fallen autumn leaves picked up the loach, threw it on the ground and trampled it to death, or dug it up.
There were dozens of traps, Qiu Luoye tried them all and dug out the deed.
After seeing the deed, Qiu Luoye was speechless for a while, and Shui Yongquan was also surprised.
The deed is arched and has the same style as their deeds.
But the deed is not one piece, but two pieces.
It stands to reason that all the deeds of the Earth God are in two pieces, one is in the hands of the Earth God, and the other is in Neizhou.
But why are these two deeds here?
I don’t know why the leaves fall in autumn, nor do I know why the springs spring up.
There are eight words on the front of both deeds: Land of a hundred miles, and this is the guarantee.
Like other deeds, these eight words are stained with blood.
Turning over the back, Qiu Luoye blinked his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Shui Yongquan smiled and said: "What's wrong? There are too many words, can't you recognize them all?"
Qiu Luoye shook his head and said: "No words."
Shui Yongquan frowned and said, "If you don't know me, just say you don't know me. Don't I know you? How can I laugh at you?"
Qiu Luoye gave the two pieces of deed to Shui Yongquan and Li Banfeng respectively. When they looked at it, they found that there was indeed no word on the back of the deed.
Impossible!
According to Shui Yongquan's inference, the deed on the main land should record many things, including how the land was formed, who the previous earth gods were, and what happened, especially wars, winning and losing, and winning.
Land lost, this must be written clearly.
But I read it over and over again for a long time, and there really wasn’t a single word on it.
Qiu Luoye said: "Could this deed be fake?"
Li Banfeng didn't say anything. He couldn't tell whether the deed was genuine or not.
Shui Yongquan stared at the deed, repeatedly observing the construction methods and materials: "This deed should be authentic. I saw them making deeds when I was in Neizhou. There are some construction methods that only they can do, but what is this deed?"
It’s hard to tell the origin.”
Qiu Luoye laughed loudly and said: "Does it need to be said? Buried in the hometown of no relatives, naturally it is the deed of the hometown of no relatives!"
Li Banfeng handed the deed to Qiu Luoye: "Two eldest brothers, sprinkle your blood on the deed, and this land will belong to you. We agreed in advance that each person from the two families will have half."
Qiu Luoye felt a little ashamed: "Lao Qi, the three of us defeated it. In the end, it was divided between the two of us. I feel bad about it."
Li Banfeng smiled and said: "My cultivation is still on the land, so it's useless to take it. The two eldest brothers are working as land gods here, and I will run the business, so I won't suffer any loss."
Qiu Luoye sighed and said: "Lao Qi, you are so kind-hearted, I don't even know what to say."
Li Banfeng smiled and said: "Brother, we all have good hearts, otherwise we wouldn't be so compatible."
Shui Yongquan nodded: "Just after killing people and dividing the spoils, let's not talk about our inner feelings.
Qiu Xiangxiang, this land belongs to you, I won't divide it."
Qiu Luoye frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have so many problems?"
"It doesn't matter. I just want that clay jar." Shui Yongquan felt uneasy. A piece of land suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
And this deed is a bit evil.
"Take that clay pot and get out!" Qiu Luoye got angry and cut his palm with a knife, intending to bleed.
Shui Yongquan said: "Wait a minute!"
"What? You regret it?"
Shui Yongquan shook his head, poured some water from the water hyacinth, and dripped it on the two pieces of deed.
Water droplets moved on the deed, quickly wiping away the original blood stains.
His water is so powerful!
Shui Yongquan said: "Mrs. Wuqian doesn't know whether she is alive or dead yet. If your blood stains drip together, we may have to live together in the future.
Wipe away her bloodstains, and we'll make another paper deed, and this land will belong to you alone."
Qiu Luoye frowned: "Do I still need to make up a paper deed?"
"Come on, when Neizhou divided the territory, there were paper deeds. The local gods usually win and lose, and they also have paper deeds. It is safer to have such a thing."
A paper deed is a deed made of paper.
Qiu Luoye and Shui Yongquan lost the battle. Qiu Luoye cut thirty miles of land for Shui Yongquan. At that time, the two parties made a paper contract and sprinkled blood on the ceded land for the land to be ceded to take effect.
From what Shui Yongquan said just now, we can infer that when the land god was granted land, he also had to have a paper deed. It seems that there is a special connection between the paper deed and the iron certificate.
Shui Yongquan found a pen and paper in the house. Qiu Luoye picked up the pen and paper and thought for a long time, then asked: "What should I write?"
This is not a seal, it should be considered a war.
If there is a war, it should be written that Mrs. Wuqian was defeated by Qiu Luoye and agreed to cede the entire territory of Wuqian Township.
But was it Mrs. Wu who was defeated just now?
Even if it's her, does she agree with this?
She has been beaten to a pulp, and it is no longer easy to ask about this matter.
Li Banfeng suggested: "Anyway, the bloodstains of the original owner have been wiped off the iron certificate. Just write that Qiu Luoye won the village without relatives, and from whom it was taken. There is no need to write too clearly."
Shui Yongquan was still cautious: "If I'm not good at picking characters, I'd just write about autumn leaves falling and having no relatives."
Qiu Luoye is very satisfied with the seven words. Except for the word "de", the other words are not too difficult.
Shui Yongquan demonstrated it several times, and Qiu Luoye learned the word "de". He picked up a pen, wrote the paper deed, and sprinkled blood on the deed and on the land boundary.
Qiu Luoye said to Shui Yongquan: "You contributed the most in this battle, and I can't take advantage of you in vain. The land belongs to me, and our popularity is half and half. When you want popularity, come and get it from me.
In addition to having no relatives in my land, the landlord is Lao Qi, and he can do whatever he wants. From now on, I will not be angry at all if Lao Qi is allowed to do whatever he wants on these two lands!"
Shui Yongquan smiled and said: "Qiu Xiangxiang, I saw you right!"
Li Banfeng said: "Brother Qiu, I am a good person."
Autumn fallen leaves sprinkled blood on two pieces of deeds again.
Two lines of text are displayed on the back of the two deeds at the same time.
The first line: The fallen leaves in autumn have no relatives.
The second line: The land boundary is 3188 square meters.
Qiu Luoye was surprised: "Isn't this deed book capable of writing? Why didn't I see any writing before?"
Shui Yongquan shook his head and said, "I can't figure out the reason either."
The paper deed and the iron coupon really have a resonance, sensing the blood from the fallen autumn leaves.
But a land of hundreds of miles normally has 10,000 square meters, so why is there only more than 3,000 square meters here?
Who erased the previous words in the deed?
He couldn't figure out the matter for a while, so Li Banfeng said to Qiu Luoye: "Brother Qiu, first think of a good place and bury the deed. I'll go and get rid of Qiao Shaofen's body to avoid raising suspicion."
Qiu Luoye praised repeatedly: "Old Qi, you are thoughtful."
