The interior and exterior of the Lu Mansion were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Red lanterns were hung everywhere with red words of joy on them, and all the servants were smiling happily.
There is no clue that in the battle the day before yesterday, the original head of the Lu family, Lu Guangshou, also died...
Because this is Weicheng.
Weicheng faces the sea to the east and is surrounded by mountains on both sides. There are very few people living outside the city for five or six hundred miles.
The isolated environment has formed unique customs and habits.
When people die here, they don't wear sackcloth or mourning, nor are they buried in coffins or coffins.
If an elderly person passes away, even the door will be decorated with red and colorful decorations, and a banquet will be held in red and green clothes.
In the past few days, Lin Ji had seen several situations, but he just didn't understand them.
But after listening to Lu Guangmu talk about the history of Weicheng, he immediately understood.
Because before Yin Shi built Weicheng, it was originally a military camp and a water prison where dragons were imprisoned.
It was extremely common for someone to die in the military camp.
How can you have so much time and energy to organize a funeral ceremony?
On the contrary, as long as they did not flee in battle, those who died in battle would receive corresponding pensions.
And most of the silver in the military camp was replaced by silk and brocade, so naturally he was at the forefront of Kyushu in terms of dress.
However, with the passage of time and the influence of secular life, some customs in the military camp have largely disappeared.
Only Weicheng, far away from the outside world, has continued this custom to this day.
Although it feels a bit weird, it's okay.
Otherwise, what's the point of getting married soon and there are huge coffins parked all over the city?
Seeing Lin Ji from a distance, the children of the Lu family could say that they still called him "senior", but the slaves of the Lu family were in trouble. They were all respectful but didn't know how to address him.
Some follow the disciples and are called seniors, some are called aunts, and some are called Lin Tianguan and adults.
Anyway, no matter what the name was, Lin Ji answered them one by one and walked straight to the backyard at a fast pace.
Lu Cong had just woken up, and now he fell asleep again.
Lin Ji stepped forward to feel his pulse and asked the white-haired old doctor behind Xiang Gongli: "How is his poisonous injury?"
"Back to senior." The old doctor replied truthfully, "He was really poisoned too much. I took a few harsh medicines and vomited and defecated for a long time. Later, I boldly changed some of his blood, and then he was stable. Although there is no fear of life now, it’s just..."
The old doctor hesitated to speak.
"Huh? Just what? Just say it!" Lin Jidao.
"Yes!" the old doctor said with his fists in his hands, "In addition to practicing medicine and treating injuries, the young man has also entered the three realms to open his soul. From what he has seen, he has practiced evil arts and external arts! The reason why he was bitten by Qinggangzi The reason why you can still hold on for so long after so many mouthfuls is because of this evil method!
"And when I was doing a blood transfusion on him, I discovered that he seemed to still have the blood of the Jin family in his body. I wondered if the Jin family, like the Yuan family, was a conspiracy..."
"Wait, what did you say? The bloodline of the Jin family? Are you sure?" Lin Ji suddenly interrupted him.
"Yes!" the old doctor replied, "I am a little ignorant in my practice, but I still have some reputation in Weicheng based on my ancestral medical skills. The four major families... er, I mean the original four families, if they have serious problems, they will I am the one who diagnoses and treats them, and I know the bloodlines of these four families very well."
"If you dare to use your head as a guarantee, this person must have the blood of the Jin family in his body!"
"Oh?!" Lin Ji suddenly understood after hearing this.
He naturally knew very well that Lu Cong was by no means a member of the Jin family. If the old doctor's judgment was correct, it was caused by the evil magic practiced by Lu Cong.
Every time you kill someone and swallow one person's soul, you will merge into that person's bloodline!
That day, he saw with his own eyes that Lu Cong killed Jinshan Yu on the Honghua Tower and swallowed his soul.
Lin Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you have a way to get rid of other messy bloodlines?"
"This..." the old doctor hesitated for a moment and then said, "Senior, I do have a way, but I can't use this method with my cultivation level. At least I have to..."
"Is it possible to enter the middle stage of Taoism?" Lin Ji asked.
"Then... of course! Of course!" The old doctor nodded repeatedly, and at the same time he became more respectful.
Entering the middle stage!
Even stronger than the four masters back then!
"Okay, then go get ready! Remember, never mention this matter to outsiders, otherwise..." Lin Ji's face turned cold.
"I understand, little one." The old doctor bowed and retreated.
Lin Ji pondered for a while and went straight to the back hall and asked a disciple to send a message to see Lu Guangmu.
"Grandpa." Now that the wedding date has been set, it's natural to call him Zhao'er, so it's not so awkward to call him. Lin Ji asked straight to the point: "Has the person of the four major families decided?"
Lu Guangmu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Ji to make a special trip to ask him about this.
"It's easy to say about the Song family. Song Yuanfeng, Song Qing's collateral nephew, is at the peak of the fourth realm. Although he is a little weaker, he is still young and has good bones. With the help of materials, he can activate the Tao Seal when he reaches the fifth realm. "
"The Yuan family... Although there are not many people left, their qualifications are all good. One named Yuan Zi'ang is in the early stage of the Four Realms, and the other is Yuan Xiu's direct son Yuan Zicheng, who was dug out of the secret room. He was seriously injured and basically disabled. However, even if he was not seriously injured, he would definitely not be chosen because of his status as Yuan Xiu's legitimate son, so it is tentatively decided that Yuan Zi'ang will take over."
Lin Ji was a little surprised when he heard that Yuan Ziang was convinced. He found this kid quite pleasing to his eye.
"It's the Jin family..."
Lu Guangmu shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "The Jin family suffered the most serious damage. Except for a sixty-year-old man with low cultivation and no possibility of promotion, and a child with no cultivation physique, there are only five people left." Among these five people, excluding those who have broken limbs, those who are dull and have little ambition, and those whose spiritual energy is closed, there is no one who can be used!"

"Grandpa, I do have a candidate for the Jin family's palm seal."
"Oh?" Lu Guang raised his head and asked, "Who is it?"
"That's the poisoned man I brought back yesterday. His name is Lu Cong. He was my subordinate when I was on duty in Qingyang County. He is loyal, trustworthy and can be used."
Lu Guangmu shook his head and said: "Didn't I tell you? This seal can only be held by the blood of the four families of Yuan, Lu, Jin, and Song. How can he, a person with a foreign surname..."
"He has the blood of the Jin family." Lin Ji replied, and then explained the reason to Lu Guangmu in detail.
"He is a disciple of Li Nan's evil way? This is absolutely impossible!"
"Lu Cong was bewitched by Mr. Li Nan, but don't worry, this kid has been my follower since he was a child, listen to me."
After hearing this, Lu Guangmu still didn't make a decision. He didn't say yes or no. After a long time, he said, "Let's give it a try."
If Lu Cong could master the Dao Seal and stay in Weicheng, it would be the best destination for him and Lin Ji!
Lin Ji thought for a moment and then said: "Grandpa, what about the Lu family's seal? Do you plan to take charge of it yourself or leave it to Zhao'er?"
Lu Guangmu leaned on the back of his chair, let out a sigh of relief and said, "I have already entered the Taoist realm. It is better to hand over these four-dimensional Taoist seals to the next generation. Besides, although using the seal to enter the Taoist realm can save you a lot of detours, But that’s all what she will achieve in the future, Zhao’er…that’s not her ambition.”
"Besides, she is destined not to stay in Weicheng for a long time..."
As he said that, he glanced at Lin Ji with a meaningful code pun and said, "Are you ready?"
