"I just said that the piece of wood felt a bit like a coffin to me, but I didn't say it must be one. Maybe it wasn't. Even if it was true, there might not be a corpse inside, and even if there was a corpse, it might not be a human corpse." Zhang Chunqiu Said going around and around.
"Then you said it, didn't you wait? Are we still going to follow?" Xia Liuchuan asked.
"Follow, of course you have to follow. This is related to the ownership of the guardian. It doesn't matter whether you follow or not, but I must see the result with my own eyes." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly." Xia Liuchuan said.
The three of them set out on the road again, but this time, they deliberately lagged behind, even though they were farther away from Zhou Wen.
But not long after walking, they felt something was wrong again. There was like a dark wind blowing in the surrounding fields, which made them tremble a little.
"Old Zhang, why do I feel something is wrong? Please do your fortune telling again." Xia Liuchuan said.
Zhang Chunqiu calculated another divination as he said, and then his expression became strange.
Looking at his expression, Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge knew something was wrong, so they quickly asked: "What exactly is going on?"
"The hexagram is still Lei Ze's sister." Zhang Chunqiu said with a wry smile.
The expressions of Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge also changed. For the first time Lei Ze returned home, they encountered an electric beast. The second time Lei Ze returned home, they encountered a nightmare, and now it's coming again.
"What's wrong with this sister because she can't finish her marriage?" Xia Liuchuan said depressedly.
Xia Liuchuan's words suddenly caused a flash of light in Zhang Chunqiu's mind, and he said with some surprise: "Do you think the hexagram of Lei Ze's returned sister should be on that piece of wood?"
"What do you mean?" Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge didn't understand.
"If my previous guess is correct, that piece of wood is really similar to a coffin. Do you think there could be a woman inside?" Zhang Chunqiu said boldly.
"What woman? If it were really a coffin, there should be a female corpse inside." Xia Liuchuan corrected.
"Don't care whether it's a woman or a female body. No matter how I calculate these days, the result is Lei Ze's sister. I think this must have something to do with that piece of wood." The more Zhang Chunqiu said, the more he felt right.
Xia Liuchuan wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard a roar, the field next to him split open, and a huge earth dragon came out of it.
Zhou Wen walked in front. Although he felt that the atmosphere along the way was a bit strange, he did not encounter any other strange things except the electric dimensional creature.
Zhou Wen had no intention of looking at other dimensional realms. He walked as long as he could and rested when he couldn't walk any further. He kept heading towards the imperial capital, just wanting to get this broken piece of wood out of the way as soon as possible.
Zhou Wen himself had nothing to do, but he suffered a lot from the three people following Xia Liuchuan. They experienced all kinds of hardships and tribulations along the way, just like Monk Tang when he was studying for Buddhist scriptures. On several occasions, they almost lost their lives.
In the end, Xia Liuchuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to take a detour back to the Xia family in the imperial capital.
Zhang Chunqiu decided to continue following, but Brother Dugu did not intend to follow anymore.
"Young Master, everyone is here. When will we start taking action?" Everyone from the Dugu family came to Dugu Ge and saluted.
"The plan is temporarily canceled." Dugu Ge said.
Everyone was stunned, and one of them asked doubtfully: "Young master, why do you want to cancel? This is a major matter related to whether you can contract with the guardian."
"I can't tell for a while. I will explain this matter to the elders of the clan. You just do what I say." Duguge said.
"Yes." Everyone just came here and didn't even sit down, so they had to turn around and go back.
Xia Liuchuan rushed all the way back to the Xia family. He was not really afraid of being in danger if he followed, but because he had received news that the Xia family was going to attack Zhou Wen before he entered the imperial capital, and Xia Liuchuan wanted to rush back. Convince Xia Dongyue to give up this action.
The piece of wood Zhou Wen was carrying was really evil, and Xia Liuchuan was afraid that the Xia family would be killed here this time.
Xia Liuchuan traveled lightly and chose the nearest road, returning to the imperial capital much earlier than Zhou Wen.
"Liuchuan, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to follow Zhou Wen?" Xia Dongyue frowned when he saw Xia Liuchuan.
"Uncle Yue, can this operation be cancelled?" Xia Liuchuan rushed back because he might not be able to convince Xia Dongyue on the phone to explain things clearly in person.
"Why cancel?" Xia Dongyue looked at Xia Liuchuan and asked.
"Zhou Wen brought a piece of evil wood to the imperial capital. The origin of the wood is weird, and it is very evil. I'm afraid something will happen if I touch it now," Xia Liuchuan said.
"A piece of wood?" Xia Dongyue was a little confused. Xia Liuchuan had always been fearless, so how could a piece of wood make him so cautious? This was completely different from the character of Xia Liuchuan that Xia Dongyue knew.
Xia Liuchuan told them everything that happened when they followed Zhou Wen.
"Zhang Chunqiu speculates that the terrifying mythical creatures we encountered on the road are all related to that piece of wood. I also think it is very possible." Xia Liuchuan said.
"It sounds reasonable, but even so, it doesn't mean that we can't touch Zhou Wen. We chose to do it near the imperial capital. The dimensional fields here are all under our control. We don't have to worry about creatures breaking the ban coming out to cause trouble." Xia Dongyue pondered. said.
"Uncle Yue, why take such a risk? The entire federation knows about Zhou Wen's grievances with the Supervisory Bureau. When he comes to the imperial capital this time, he most likely comes for the Supervisory Bureau. Why should we act as guns for the Supervisory Bureau? Where is the envoy?" Xia Liuchuan continued to persuade.
Xia Dongyue shook his head and said: "This matter is what the old man wanted. You also know the old man's temper. No one can change what he has decided."
When Xia Liuchuan heard the words "old man", his heart suddenly went cold. He knew that this action had become a foregone conclusion and he was afraid that it could not be changed.
"Liuchuan, you don't have to worry too much. Although that piece of wood may be a little strange, but with the background of our Xia family, there is no need to care about that. It's just Zhou Wen. It's not difficult to capture him." Xia Dongyue patted Xia Liuchuan. He said over his shoulder: "Since you are back, just stay at home and rest. I will let the people in the east courtyard handle this matter."
"I hope so." Xia Liuchuan always felt that it would not be easy to succeed, but there was nothing he could do.
The old man of the Xia family is the supreme being of the Xia family. Even Xia Dongyue, who has become a member of the House of Lords, does not dare to disobey his words, and no one can convince him.
