This day.
Zhong Yan refined the essence and blood to temper the bodies of the children with spiritual roots, and personally supervised and taught Zhong Qiyu how to practice.
When I returned to my residence, I met Ding Wanjun by the lake.
"I have met my husband!"
Zhong Yan took Bai Nenyu's hand and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Ding Wanjun shook his head slightly, smiled sweetly and said, "I miss you, come and see."
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Tell me."
Usually nothing happens, except for Yuan Ziyi and Yu Qingyao, the concubines will not take the initiative to disturb the practice.
Ding Wanjun looked hesitant and said with some difficulty: "Husband, he is my father. He, he wants to do business in Qingyangfang City..."
Zhong Yan understood.
Competition within large families is also fierce.
The status of some disciples is not as good as that of guest ministers.
For example, Ding Wanjun's father, Ding Xingmao, was in his fifties and had only reached the fourth level of Qi refining.
If it hadn't been for good luck, giving birth to a daughter with good qualifications like Ding Wanjun, her status would have been improved, and she wouldn't be as good as she is now.
Even so, Ding Xingmao's lineage is still a side line. Only Ding Wanjun belongs to the direct line of the Ding family and practices in the clan where the family has spiritual bloodlines.
Zhong Yan pondered for a while and said: "That elixir shop on West Street. The government provides the supply of goods and your father is responsible for running it. Do you think it's feasible?"
Among Ding Xingmao's more than ten children, there is also a son with four spiritual roots. He is not the same brother and sister as Ding Wanjun. Sharing profits on the five floors of a shop is sincere enough.
"real?"
Ding Wanjun looked happy, but then worried: "Will it embarrass my husband and break the rules of the clan?"
She was actually worried that her sisters would complain about her elbow being turned outward.
After marrying into the Zhong family, she became a member of the Zhong family. However, my father belonged to the Ding family and was not qualified to rely on the family, so he found his son-in-law. It was a bit unreasonable.
Zhong Yan rubbed his delicate cheeks and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there is no such restriction in the clan rules. I will tell Bai Yu later that just this once, you should explain to your father how good you are and run the business seriously."
"Um!"
Ding Wanjun nodded vigorously, then bowed to express thanks: "Thank you, husband! I must make it clear to my father!"
Chatted for a while.
Ding Wanjun left briskly.
It didn't take long.
A 'ding' sound came from Zhong Yan's mind.
[It was detected that the Taoist couple has a deep love for the host, surpassing the ordinary limits, and was successfully bound. 】
Zhong Yan glanced at the panel, it was Ding Wanjun.
For a moment, he was happy, confused, and emotional.
The system binding is mysterious and mysterious, and I still haven’t figured out the specific conditions.
There are so many women in the mansion, but Ding Wanjun was the last to enter the mansion, yet she was bound so easily.
And Yu Qingyao was also bound at once.
As for the others, Zhong Yan can feel their wishes, but has been unable to achieve them.
"It should have a lot to do with mentality and personality..."
Zhong Yan couldn't help but think of Li Jingqiu, who had just passed away. There were really big differences between people.
Just agreeing to a small request, Ding Wanjun was satisfied and grateful.
"Perhaps, in her heart, half a store is enough to prove my feelings for her."
Zhong Yan smiled and was in a good mood. One more binding would give him an extra experience, and his beast control skills could also be improved quickly.
At this time.
Changhong flew over, turned a corner, and Qin Ziyue landed, bringing with him a strange young man.
"Husband!"
Qin Ziyue looked serious and said hurriedly: "Jingqiu's tomb has been stolen!"
Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows: "Stolen?"
The young man hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously: "Master, you deserve to die! You failed to protect the cemetery! I inspected this morning and found that Mrs. Qiu's grave had been dug, the funerary objects had been taken away, and, and..."
The man hesitated and couldn't speak.
Qin Ziyue said: "Jingqiu's body is also missing."
Zhong Yan narrowed his eyes and thought of the search for the soul of the maid 'Xiao Xing'. She originally thought that it would be over once Li Jingqiu died, but in the end...
Is there any connection between them... Zhong Yan's eyes flickered and asked: "When did it happen?"
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sir, the stolen soil is very fresh. It should be last night. It was still fine the day before yesterday."
A total of two people were buried in the Zhong Family Cemetery, so only four warriors were arranged to take turns guarding them.
The man's implication was that he was lazy and did not patrol yesterday and the day before yesterday.
"Where's Chunyu's?"
"The third lady's tomb is intact."
Qin Ziyue hesitated a little and then sent a message: "Husband, please forgive me for being disrespectful. Could it be that the tomb robbers just wanted to steal money at first, and when they saw Jingqiu's body... they became blasphemous. After all, It’s only been five days since the burial, and the weather is cold now. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense. What’s the point of having a corpse? As for the Tomb of Spring Rain, it’s because the tomb robbers tampered with the fresh tomb first.”
Zhong Yan frowned and said: "Check! Check strictly!"
Qin Ziyue nodded: "Well, Bai Yu and Sandao have brought people there. I will arrange for the hidden guards and the dead guards to explore the surrounding tomb robbers."
Zhong Yan looked at the man: "I'll punish you with twenty sticks, and you will fulfill your duties from now on!"
The man kowtowed vigorously: "Thank you, Master, for not killing me!"
…
The next day.
Zhong Yan took the professional tomb robbers hired by Wan Tang to the cemetery site.
No useful clues were found.
But the tomb robber pointed at the hole and said with certainty: "There is only one person. This person's skills are unfamiliar and he is not the work of a professional tomb robber."
Zhong Yan also discerned from the marks on the cave wall that they were not caused by tools such as shovels, but by sword marks or sword energy.
Obviously, this 'grave robber' is most likely a monk, and he came for Li Jingqiu's body!
It’s just that the purpose is hard to guess at the moment.
Yu Qingyao said: "Husband, it must be related to Xiao Xing's soul search. That Corpse Smell Taoist? Or the one who sells the soul-eating Gu?"
Yuan Ziyi: "If you have any plans using the corpse, I should contact you soon."
Zhou Yun felt that the value of a mortal corpse was too small and had no threat to the Zhong family. She said, "It might just be to make the Zhong family look embarrassed."
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and said nothing, feeling that this was something weird.
Three months in a row.
No one contacted.
The hostile forces did not take advantage of the situation.
Although there were rumors among the public, they were frightened by the power of the vicious ape in Zhong Mansion, so they only dared to discuss it privately, and soon the topic faded away.
The Zhongfu sent a large number of manpower to search and trace, but found nothing. There was no trace of the Taoist priest and the medicine seller.
The theft of the body seemed to have never happened, and it was a mystery.
…
Yang Family Fulu Hall.
As one of the parties involved, the 'Spirit Devouring Gu owner' Ming Ang was confused and felt a little strange after hearing the news.
"It's none of my business. What do I want with a corpse?"
Because of the information asymmetry, he didn't know about the soul search, but he didn't know that the "Corpse Smell Taoist" had secretly followed Xiao Xing.
"There's nothing to do when you're full. It's just the corpse of a mortal concubine. Why go to war in such a big way?"
"There are many possibilities. The world is so chaotic, so people who can't survive are not allowed to steal the collection to make money on a temporary basis?"
"He happens to be a necrophiliac pervert, hehe~"
The viper smiled brightly and didn't care, as long as he couldn't find his head.
…
