"Before March or April, Senior Brother Li found a secret letter from home. Senior Sister and Junior Brother and I read it together, and it mentioned this mansion."
Under the coercion, the stern man no longer pretended to be dumbfounded this time, but smiled bitterly and revealed the whole story.
The family that Li Mufeng came from was relatively well-known in Tianhe County, and it was considered a scholarly family in the secular world. It is said that his ancestors moved from Luoxia County.
A few months ago, this person found a secret letter that had been shelved in the library at home. It roughly stated that the Li family's ancestral home was at Luohunpo outside Qianyu City.
However, due to some reasons, the Li family had no choice but to move hundreds of years ago and left the ancestral land where the family had lived for generations.
But after all, they were once a wealthy family. Although they left, they still left some opportunities in their ancestral land, which were prepared to make a comeback in case the family fortunes of future generations fell into decline.
"Senior Brother Li is not the legitimate son of the family, so he wanted to keep it all to himself, so he found us and came all the way here on the pretext of traveling down the mountain."
The cold man said: "It was only after arriving at Qianyu City that Fang Yi inquired and found out that Luohun Slope was already occupied by a training sect. In addition to practicing cold-yin-based techniques, this sect is said to be good at controlling ghosts."
This also explains why a few people prepared the corresponding talismans in advance, because they were worried about occupying the Mingyue Temple on Luohun Slope, which is a method of controlling ghosts that is feared by outsiders.
However, Ji Yuan did not believe much in this statement because there were too many loopholes in it.
First of all, it was a secret letter that was shelved in a cabinet. How could it be obtained by a concubine with a low status?
Secondly, why did Li Mufeng promise to go with his fellow disciples to share the known opportunities when he knew nothing about the situation in this place and had not investigated it first?
Secondly, since I only heard about the cultivation sect here beforehand and didn't know that something had happened in Luohunpo, why did I want to use him as a pathfinding pawn.
This last point is obviously because he knows something has happened on Luohun Slope and there is a ghost entrenched here!
"Whether you believe it or not, it is indeed recorded in the secret letter that this place is the ancestral residence of Senior Brother Li."
The stern man sighed softly. He also knew that his words did not sound very credible.
Even if Li Mufeng hadn't given him many benefits in advance and promised that the opportunity he would find would be shared equally among them, he wouldn't even believe this rhetoric himself.
Ji Yuan frowned and thought, maybe the cold man in front of him did tell the truth at this time, but he always felt that things were not that simple.
Not only the contents of the secret letter in Li Mufeng's hand, but also the unreasonable behavior of the ghosts here.
"What do you think?"
After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned back and glanced at the young Taoist behind him.
When Song He heard this, he had a look of confusion on his face, saying that he grew up in Mingyueguan, but had never heard of Luohunpo. There had been any famous family that used this place as their ancestral home.
Thinking about it, it is true that the Feng Shui here is not a place where ordinary people can stay for a long time. Only by practicing the Yin and Cold attribute skills at Mingyue Temple can one establish a sect here and live there all year round.
If it were an ordinary person, it would range from minor illnesses and minor disasters to constant yin excess and yang decline, which would in vain shorten one's lifespan.
But one thing Song He is sure of is that there was indeed a mansion here hundreds of years ago, probably built by a monk who also practiced the Yinhan technique.
The Mingyue Temple was finally rebuilt on the basis of this mansion.
There are obvious differences between the two people's statements. Although the cold man's statement was more detailed, it was full of errors and omissions and could not be scrutinized in detail. Although Song He's statement was simple, he could not find any problems.
Ji Yuan now had a headache. These things alone could not allow them to find out the whereabouts of the ghosts here, figure out what the other party was thinking at this time, and escape from the mansion.
"The white fog under the hillside seems to have dissipated."
Song He suddenly whispered.
Hearing this, several people looked subconsciously, and then saw the white mist at the other end of the trail. As expected, only a thin layer remained. After a few breaths, it completely disappeared, revealing a covered stone path.
Ji Yuan frowned slightly, wondering what the ghosts here were planning.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I would like to see what you want to do?"
He murmured to himself, then greeted Song He, and walked down the hillside where the ancestral hall was located.
After hesitating for a moment, the stern man chose to follow the two of them silently. As for the girl who came from the same school, her head was drooping, looking a little lost.
Not long after, the four people behind them arrived at the foot of the hillside, and then stepped onto the stone road previously covered by white mist.
From the hillside view, the ancestral hall here was located in the backyard of the residence, and the stone path under their feet not only led to the main residence, but also extended to the side courtyard.
As for that courtyard, judging from the layout, it should be a place like a library.
When he came to the intersection, Ji Yuan wanted to go directly to the main house to see what the ghosts here were planning, but something suddenly happened in his heart and he accidentally took another road.
This kind of whim that appears out of thin air is particularly important to practitioners. It is often related to one's own path. It can be regarded as an instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.
After walking on the path leading to the side courtyard, Ji Yuan suddenly felt his body light up. He quickly covered himself with his sleeves and robe, and after a quick calculation, he found that he had escaped a serious murder.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing something strange about the people around him, Song He took two steps forward and asked.
Ji Yuan shook his head and did not tell the matter. Even though he had escaped a great danger, if he thought it was okay and told him, the danger that was gradually getting away might come back again.
This is the saying that most misfortunes come from the mouth. Worldly people often cannot control their mouths and inadvertently reveal secrets, thus causing all kinds of disasters.
It is not uncommon for someone to be safe from danger or even have good luck, but because of an unintentional word, he loses his life and wealth, or even his family is destroyed.
In silence, a group of four people walked through many courtyards and came to a courtyard.
The space here is wide, with a rockery garden inside, and a pond of water in the middle, with wisps of gray-white yin rising under the moonlight.
Normally, this place would be a beautiful scene, but now the rockeries are covered in black mud, the flower beds that should be in full bloom are all withered, and even the curtains hanging on the pavilion have become dilapidated.
"That's... the library?"
Ji Yuan's expression became serious, and his eyes passed through the rockery garden and finally landed on a wooden building.
Looking through the moonlight, the wooden building's plaque does indeed have the three characters "library" written on it, and the entire three-story building is emitting a soft halo.
"It's the aura of awe!"
After getting closer, Ji Yuan recognized at a glance what the halo of light clinging to the small building was.
At the same time, he was also a little surprised. He did not expect that in this place with strong Yin energy and many ghosts entrenched, there would be a library, which gave birth to the aura of aura that restrained ghosts and evil spirits. This chapter has been completed!
