It's not yet dawn, but everyone at Miaofeng Villa is already very busy.
Because Ji Cangyu decided last night to take Xu Jun to pay homage to his deceased wife early this morning.
In fact, every time Ji Cangyu came back from an outing, he would worship his wife in the Xiangtang of Miaoyiyuan. But this time it was different. This was the first time Xu Jun went home to pay homage to his mother, so the significance was naturally extraordinary.
Therefore, Ji Cangyu asked Ji Lie to carefully prepare the sacrifices, and the entire villa went to his wife's tomb to worship her early this morning.
As soon as the hour came, everyone set off to the back mountain with rich sacrifices.
Ji Cangyu held Xu Jun's hand and walked at the front.
Xu Jun was wearing a plain gown and looked a bit like the young master of Miaofeng Villa.
In order to often accompany his wife at the tomb, Ji Cangyu built his late wife's tomb not far to the east of Miaofeng Villa.
So before everyone walked a few steps, they saw a large tomb.
The tomb is so big that it is not difficult to see how much Ji Cangyu loved his late wife.
"Dad, did you build a big tomb for your mother?" Xu Jun asked Ji Cangyu.
"Yes! This way your mother can live a better life down there." Ji Cangyu said sadly.
Xu Junze curled his lips while no one was paying attention, thinking: "I'm afraid you will regret doing this in two days."
"Master, it looks like it's going to rain." Ji Lie suddenly said.
Ji Cangyu looked up and frowned.
A few dark clouds came from nowhere, and they were so dark that it was indeed going to rain.
"This rain won't last long, let's go to the edge to take shelter first!" Ji Cangyu made a prompt decision and pointed to the tomb nearby.
Although his wife's tomb is right next to the villa, Ji Cangyu still had this tomb built. Whenever he felt sad thinking about his missing child, he would stay here for a few days to spend time with his wife.
"It was fine early in the morning, but why did it suddenly rain?" the second housekeeper Ji Tao wondered. If the rain hadn't come suddenly, they would have prepared umbrellas in advance.
"Madam must have shed tears of joy when she saw the young master coming to pay homage to him." Ji Lie said quickly when he saw Ji Cangyu's brows furrowed even more tightly.
These words won Ji Cangyu's heart deeply. He looked up at the raindrops that were beginning to fall, and all the worries in his heart were swept away.

Qi Yang rushed to Miaofeng Villa immediately after receiving the letter from Master.
The Liucun Branch was not far from Miaofeng Villa. Qi Yang worked hard all the way and arrived near Miaofeng Villa before noon.
Qi Yang held the horse and frowned as he looked at the muddy mountain road in front of him.
"I didn't expect it to rain so much in this mountain." Qi Yang thought to himself. He was fine all the way here, but once he entered the mountains, it was muddy. It had obviously just rained.
Qi Yang rushed to Miaofeng Villa in a hurry, but was in no hurry to act. The opponent is Ji Cangyu, and he must be fully prepared before taking action.
Now he plans to find a place to stay in a deserted temple, and then explore Miaofeng Villa after dark.
Although he assassinated Ji Cangyu many times, he had never been to Miaofeng Villa and knew nothing about the layout of the Villa.
Qi Yang walked to a dilapidated earth temple and was about to go in and take a look when he met two villagers who went up the mountain to cut firewood.
"Second uncle, have you heard? Master Ji has found his child who has been missing for many years." said the young villager.
"I heard what your aunt said last night. I didn't expect that a child who has been missing for so many years can be found. Master Ji really has a way!" Another old man responded.
"Then do you know where the people from Miaofeng Villa have gone? Just now I saw that they all went to the back mountain." asked the young villager.
"It should be to pay homage to Mrs. Ji, right? After Mrs. Ji passed away, Master Ji has not renewed his relationship. Now that the child has been found, he must take it to Mrs. Ji's tomb to pay homage." The old man said.
"The rain just came at the wrong time!" the young villager sighed.
"That's because seeing this family reunited, God was moved!" the old man said, looking at the sky that had cleared up.
Qi Yang looked at the retreating figures of the two villagers and thought: "Everyone from Miaofeng Villa went to the back mountain to pay homage to Mrs. Ji? Isn't this a good opportunity for me to go to Miaofeng Villa to explore the way? The scene where I was killed just now If the rain delays, they may not come back until dark."
Thinking of this, Qi Yang quickly walked into the Earth Temple and came out dressed in black.
Although it was daytime, he still changed into night clothes as usual.
There is a reason why Qi Yang doesn't want to wait until night.
Although the night was an excellent cover, Qi Yang didn't even have the simplest topographic map of Miaofeng Villa. If you accidentally get close to Ji Cangyu, it will be very dangerous. Firstly, Ji Cangyu is very powerful in martial arts and will definitely notice him; secondly, he is not familiar with the terrain and would not know where to escape if he wanted to.
In fact, the main reason is that he has not yet recovered from his external injuries and has also suffered serious internal injuries. He is no match for Ji Cangyu. If he confronts Ji Cangyu, there is only one way to die.
Ji Cangyu was not in Miaofeng Villa at this time. Isn't it the perfect time for him to explore the terrain?
Qi Yang hid the baggage in an inconspicuous place in the Tutu Temple and headed towards Miaofeng Villa.

Looking at the gatehouse in front of Miaofeng Villa, Qi Yang felt nervous for no reason.
He didn't know why. Ji Cangyu wasn't even inside, why was he nervous?
Qi Yang jumped in slightly.
Sure enough, as the two villagers said, everyone in the villa went out to worship. Qi Yang walked all the way in and only encountered a few servants who did not know martial arts cleaning, and he could easily avoid them.
As Qi Yang moved forward, he wrote down the names of each courtyard.
The courtyard you enter from the gate of the villa is called "Miaoxiangyuan". To the east of Miaoxiangyuan is the dining room for dining, to the north is the hall for entertaining guests, and to the west is the side hall for people to rest.
The east and west sides of Miaoxiangyuan are courtyards where servants live.
To the north of Miaoxiangyuan is Miaoshangyuan. Miaoshangyuan is much larger than other courtyards. As the name suggests, it is a place for people to enjoy the scenery.
To the east of Miaoshangyuan is a lotus pond, but there are no lotus flowers in the pond at this time.
There is an arch bridge over the lotus pond, and there is an elegant pavilion to the south of the arch bridge. The pavilion is surrounded by a peach forest. There is a rockery to the north of the arch bridge, and a large area of medicinal herbs is planted to the east of the rockery.
It was not difficult for Qi Yang to guess that this herb was planted by Ling'er himself. He couldn't help but reach out and break a branch and put it into his arms.
There are two courtyards to the east of Miaoshangyuan, Miaozhenyuan and Miaoyuyuan from south to north.
Qi Yang briefly checked and found that Miaozhenyuan was a place where various rare treasures were stored.
The elegant decoration in Miao Yuyuan is obviously the residence of women. From the large area of herbs grown next to Miaoyu Yuan, Qi Yang immediately guessed that the owner of Miaoyu Yuan was Ling'er.
Qi Yang took a few more glances at Miao Yuyuan before continuing to inquire.
There are also two courtyards to the west of Miaoshangyuan, namely Miaocaiyuan and Miaoqiaoyuan. They all look like guest rooms.
The courtyard to the north of Miaoshangyuan is called "Miaosiyuan".
As soon as he walked into Miao Siyuan, Qi Yang immediately felt a sense of déjà vu.
The pavilions and stone paths in the Miaosi Courtyard, as well as the rockeries, woods, and wells on the side, all made Qi Yang suspect that he had been here before.
However, he has never been to Miaofeng Villa before!
