Chapter 42, The Array of Qufu

 Jiang Ruoyun changed from his normal state and sneered several times, his cold and decisive voice resounding throughout the hall.

"You have repeatedly driven me out of the house over the years..."

"Today, I will do as you wish."

"From now on, I, Jiang Ruoyun, have nothing to do with Jiang Mansion!"

"You..." Jiang Aoqian's face turned pale.

Jiang Batian looked at the back of Jue Ran, his former closest granddaughter, in pain.

Jiang Juetian, the master of the third palace who had been silent, ordered the servants beside him, "Go and investigate the identity of the man next to Jiang Ruoyun."

From beginning to end, Lu Feng didn't say a word, he just stood quietly by Jiang Ruoyun's side, respecting every decision she made.

On the way back to the side courtyard, Lu Feng noticed that there were tears in the corners of Jiang Ruoyun's eyes. Obviously, breaking up with Jiang Mansion was not her original intention. Maybe she had really had enough of the anger in the past few years.

Jiang Ruoyun touched the ring on his hand with a somewhat sad expression. Although Jiang Ruoyun was reluctant to let go of his grandfather who was drifting away, the reality was that he was helpless.

"Miss, you are back." Xiaorou greeted.

"Xiaorou... From today on, you can go back wherever you came from. I am leaving Jiang Mansion."

Jiang Ruoyun smiled bitterly. Although he and Xiaorou had gotten along harmoniously over the years, he still didn't have much trust in this maid of unknown origin.

After hearing this, the joy on Xiaorou's face disappeared instantly, and she looked sad. She started crying and shouted with a choked sob: "Miss doesn't want me, Xiaorou has nowhere to go."

Jiang Ruoyun smiled mockingly, "If you follow me, I won't have anywhere to go."

"Besides, if you follow me, you won't be able to get wages from Jiang Mansion. You should stay in Jiang Mansion."

Xiaorou became even more anxious after hearing this, and finally cried. While crying, she explained: "I know that the young lady has always been wary of me."

"In the beginning, I was indeed arranged by Mr. Jiang He and Young Master Jiang Feng to monitor the young lady, but they forgot about it when they saw that the young lady never recovered her strength. Xiaorou swore that she had never had any intention of harming the young lady."

"It turns out it's the two of them, father and son," Jiang Ruoyun understood the origin of Xiaorou at this moment, thinking that it was difficult for her to behave in the past few years when she was caught in the middle, and maybe she couldn't gain the trust of both parties.

"What if they let you murder the young lady again?" Lu Feng asked, looking at Xiaorou with a pear-shaped face.

"Even if a knife is placed on Xiaorou's neck, Xiaorou will never hurt the lady again." Xiaorou choked.

Seeing Xiaorou's anxious and nervous look, Jiang Ruoyun couldn't bear it. Jiang Ruoyun didn't know how to deal with the weak maid in front of him.

"Xiaorou won't hurt the lady, just let Xiaorou follow." Xiaorou choked, looking like I felt pity for her.

"Yes." Jiang Ruoyun nodded softly and said, "If you insist on following me, I won't stop you, but you have to be prepared to suffer. Your days in the future will not be as relaxing as in Jiang Mansion."

"Thank you, Miss," Xiaorou wiped her tears and promised, "I'll go help Miss tidy up the clothes." After saying that, she hurriedly walked towards the room, as if she was afraid that Jiang Ruoyun would change his mind.

"Have you been to Shi Mansion? Can you get any clues?" Jiang Ruoyun asked.

Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "I'll ask again when I go to deliver the prescription tomorrow. We'll go to Qu Mansion to inquire first. Are you familiar with Qu Mansion?"

Jiang Ruoyun shook his head and said: "The Qu Mansion is dedicated to studying the formation method and has always been closed to guests. It may not be that easy to enter the Qu Mansion."

"Array Dao? There are formation masters in Qu Mansion?" Lu Feng said in surprise. He didn't expect that there would be a soul master specializing in the formation Dao in this small Qinglong Town.

"Most of them are just getting started, and not many of them really understand the formation," Jiang Ruoyun explained.

Lu Feng was relieved after hearing this. If there were a large number of formation masters in this small town, then the number of formation masters on this continent would not be so rare.

"If it's about formations, I know a little bit about them. Let's pay a visit in the name of a home-based discussion." Lu Feng was also looking forward to it. He had never seen anyone use formations since leaving Linglong Valley.

After Xiaorou had packed up, Jiang Ruoyun told her to find an inn near Juxiang Garden to check in and wait.

Until I find a new place to live, I can only stay in an inn temporarily.

After settling Xiaorou, Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun walked towards Qu Mansion.

Qufu is not in the center of Qinglong Town. On the contrary, it is much more remote. It can be said to be a good place to live away from the busy city.

Regardless of whether it is Prison Mansion, Jiang Mansion, or Yan Mansion, there are servant guards guarding the entrance, but Qu Mansion does not have any guards.

Perhaps because of the formation, the family was very confident about the safety of the house and did not need guards at all.

"Shall we just open the door and go in?" Jiang Ruoyun said, and after speaking, he went up and knocked on the wooden door a few times.

Lu Feng smiled, pointed to the far wall and said, "The door is over there."

There was a very crude barrier outside the door of Qu Mansion, and Lu Feng could see through it at a glance.

The real door was hidden, and a fake door was specially arranged. If Jiang Ruoyun pushed the fake door and entered, it would be the same as entering the formation, and people in the mansion would definitely know.

Under Jiang Ruoyun's surprised gaze, Lu Feng led her around and around, taking some strange steps, and 'bumped' into the 'wall'.

As soon as Lu Feng and the two entered the Qu Mansion, a gentle and elegant sound of the piano came over. It was long and continuous, pure and sweet, and made people calm both physically and mentally.

While Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun were listening in rapt attention, another flute sound came, which resonated with the sound of the piano. The piano and flute played together, and the music was loud and refreshing.

The two of them were a little dull, as if they had been brainwashed by the sound of the piano and flute, and there was no sparkle in their eyes.

The sound of the piano is mesmerizing.

The sound of the flute is charming!

Lu Feng's consciousness was dragged to another place, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and he actually returned to the land of Wuyou Village.

Lu Feng trembled all over and woke up immediately with fright.

If it had been another place, he would not have woken up so quickly.

However, Wuyou Village was a place he had thought about hundreds of times. If he came there again, it would definitely not be the scene in his mind.

And this 'Phantom Sound Formation' is obviously not there yet. It can only transform some things in the memory. Once the intruder determines that the memory has changed, the formation will be broken without attacking.

The method of setting up the formation was still a bit clumsy.

After being baptized by the illusion array, a flash of enlightenment flashed through Lu Feng's mind, and he had a bold guess in his mind.

Maybe Wuyou Village itself is a huge phantom formation? I have experienced that only when I accidentally entered it before.

Lu Feng came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Ruoyun, only to find that she had a dull look on her face and was walking forward slowly step by step, but there was a pond in front of her.

"Ruoyun..." Lu Feng called, but it seemed he couldn't wake him up.

Perhaps it was Lu Feng's voice that attracted the attention of the people in the mansion, and an elderly voice came, "Let them in."

Immediately, the sound of the piano disappeared and the sound of the flute stopped.

Jiang Ruoyun woke up slowly and looked at the surrounding scenery with some surprise. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. After seeing Lu Feng, he felt a little relieved.

"You two, please come with me." A servant came forward and took Lu Feng and the two to a separate courtyard.

After arriving at the other courtyard, Lu Feng looked up and saw a familiar figure in the pavilion not far away.

The figure was about fifty or sixty years old, with a slightly curved figure. There was a bit of joy on his wrinkled face, and he looked at Lu Feng and the two with smiles on his face.

It was the strange old man I saw in the 'Zhen Xin Ru Yi' shop earlier, but now his figure was no longer stooped, and he was much more energetic. It seemed that the poisonous miasma in his body had almost been cleared away.

"Little brother, why did you come to my house?"

"I'm planning to go to Jiang Mansion to say thank you in the next two days," the old man said eagerly.

Jiang Ruoyun was shocked and surprised, when did Lu Feng know so many important people?

"How effective is the jade?" Lu Feng asked calmly. After seeing this old man again, he knew that it was no longer difficult to inquire about Qu Mansion.

"Haha." The old man laughed, patted his chest and said, "I'm much stronger now than I was a few days ago, thanks to my little brother's guidance."

There is no age in learning, only those who have mastered it are their teachers. Although Qu Qianli is older, he admires Lu Feng's knowledge very much.

Lu Feng smiled and said: "Don't call me a little brother, just call me Lu Feng." Then he looked at Jiang Ruoyun and continued: "This is Jiang Ruoyun."

Lu Feng did not introduce her relationship with Jiang Mansion, and there is no relationship at this moment.

"Why did you two come here today?" Qu Qianli didn't mince words and asked Lu Feng directly. The old man saw the two figures of Lu Feng as early as outside the gate. He watched them coming all the way and gave Lu Feng a glance.

I really admire the array's ability.

"To be honest, senior, the two of us came here today to inquire about the recent situation in the Qu Mansion. Is there any sudden incident?" Lu Feng asked bluntly.

"Accident?" Qu Qianli was stunned for a moment, and said with some regret: "Isn't it an accident that my broken body is like this?"

"It wouldn't matter if it was just me. It would also involve my miserable grandson."

Qu Qianli patted his thigh regretfully.

"Senior's injury was caused by someone's murder?" Lu Feng asked in surprise.

"That's not the case. It's just that there was a lot of poisonous miasma in the Tianlang Mausoleum at some time. When my miserable grandson and I went to collect jade, we accidentally fell into the poisonous miasma, and that's why we ended up like this."

The old man said and thanked Lu Feng again: "If I hadn't met little brother Lu and learned about the effectiveness of jade, my grandson might not be able to wake up right now."

From the conversation, Lu Feng learned some things about Qu Qianli's grandson Qu Huai. Due to his limited strength, Qu Huai became a living dead after being poisoned. He didn't wake up until recently, but his body was as stooped as an old man.

It is difficult to recover in a short period of time.

In the distance, a somewhat domineering voice came.

"I heard that a formation master came to the mansion?"

Qu Qianli looked at the young man walking around the corner, sighed, and with a hint of love in his eyes, he explained to Lu Feng and the others: "It's my useless grandson, Qu Kan."

There are two brothers in the Qu Mansion, Qu Lisu, the eldest palace lord, and Qu Qianli, the second palace lord. The children of the two elders are not good at formations and prefer to study ancient books.

The grandchildren are very enthusiastic about the formation, especially the two brothers Qu Kan and Qu Huai.
