Under the strange tree full of shadow figures, Shu Guan slowly opened his eyes.
This is the fourth day after the GLH company base was bombed.
He had been wandering around Du Wenqiang's house for the past three days, but unfortunately nothing happened.
To be honest, Shu Guan really hoped that something would happen. Only if something happened, they would have more clues to track down the GLH company.
He, together with Ouyang Hai who was hiding in the dark, Shu Guan felt that they should be able to deal with most emergencies. Even if the wolf waiting for him was a wolf, they could deal with it.
Unfortunately, three days have passed and nothing has come to them.
So Shu Guan could only put this matter aside for the time being. He didn't know if Ouyang Hai was secretly staying with Du Wenqiang, but he couldn't stay in Du Mansion forever.
As for Ji Quanshun, the leader of the Tan Gang from Shuzhou, Shu Guan put a forgetfulness charm on him to make him forget what happened that day.
He didn't tell Ji Quanshun that his half-demon son was dead, not because he was simply afraid that Ji Quanshun would be sad, but if he told Ji Quanshun, Ji Quanshun would be dead.
Because Ji Quanshun secretly brought Tan Shen out from the gang to come to Shencheng to find his son, he originally felt extremely guilty.
Now that Tan Shen has been lost by him and his son is dead, the old man who knows the truth will definitely no longer be able to live alone.
So Shuguan chose to cleanse Ji Quanshun's memory of that day so that he would not remember that he went to the suit shop that day.
As for the lost Charcoal God, Shu Guan and Du Wenqiang made up a lie for the old man, saying that his rattan box had been stolen by a pickpocket. Du Wenqiang patted his chest and said that he would let Ji Quanshun stay in Du Mansion first, and he would mobilize all the Youth Gang brothers to help Ji Quanshun. Retrieve the vine box.
Ji Quanshun could only be stabilized like this for the time being. He didn't even have the confidence to promise that Ji Quanshun would definitely be able to find the charcoal god. After all, the GLH company was too mysterious, and Shu Guan was not sure when he would find their traces again. .
As for whether Ji Quanshun will find out that they lied to him in the future, Shu Guan can't think of a good way for the time being. Maybe he can use other Taoist techniques to create some illusions for Ji Quanshun. In short, if you stay alive first, there will be hope.
Then Shu Guan returned to his normal life, going to the Zouma Pavilion during the day and practicing underground in the Rong Manor at night.
His current realm is the Nascent Soul realm, and his combat power is also at the Nascent Soul realm, but as for his cultivation, he is only around the middle stage of fetal movement at most.
Of course, once you reach the realm of cultivation, it is actually a very simple matter. It is nothing more than making your spiritual power richer and your Nascent Soul stronger.
And this mysterious place under the Rong family manor is indeed an excellent place for practice. Shu Guan has been practicing here these days. With the help of the power of Feng Shui here, he just feels that he can gather and absorb spiritual energy faster than before. It should be at least ten or so quickly.
At this speed, I am afraid that in about half a year, his spiritual power should reach the peak of fetal movement.
As for how far Xiao Yi can grow, Shu Guan has no experience in practicing in the Nascent Soul Realm, so he can't judge.
Of course, he is not the only one practicing here now.
Shu Guan opened his eyes and looked towards his side.
Glory sat cross-legged next to him.
His small body was straight, his hands were folded and fists were placed on his Dantian, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was breathing slowly and long according to the breathing method Shu Guan taught him.
Of course, what Shu Guan taught him could not be the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung Fu, nor any of Shan Si Kuan's Qi-entraining and foundation building techniques. Although he had left Shan Si Kuan, Shu Guan would not teach him Shan Si Kuan. The observed practice method can be taught to anyone.
What Shu Guan taught Guangrong was the Qi-entraining and foundation-building technique of Zoumamen.
Because Shu Guan has discovered the special nature of Glory's physique and has been sleeping in the source of Feng Shui here for more than 20 years. Glory's physique has been changed by the Feng Shui energy. In a sense, he is the "son of Feng Shui" here. It's not an exaggeration, so he could see the Feng Shui aura of Rong's Manor with his naked eyes as an ordinary mortal.
Therefore, Glory is the best candidate to practice Zumamen Taoism.
Well, it wasn't because Glory was his brother-in-law that he passed on the rules of horse racing to him.
At this time, all I could see was that around Guangrong's body, there were masses of Feng Shui aura. The intensity of these Feng Shui auras was definitely not much weaker than that around Shu Guan.
You know, this is the glorious first day of practice.
Although it is impossible to successfully attract Qi overnight like him, but with the Feng Shui Qi here helping him gather and attract spiritual energy, the speed of Glory's cultivation is definitely genius level.
Perhaps much faster than the speed at which Sixth Senior Brother Sang Liren succeeded in channeling Qi.
Two months!
Looking at the spiritual energy that was constantly gathering around Glory, Shu Guan made a rough judgment.
Then his eyes turned to the figure standing quietly next to Glory.
After he came here with glory today, that familiar figure appeared again.
When Guangrong was sitting cross-legged to practice, that figure stood quietly beside Guangrong.
Shu Guan could feel that the figure had been staring at Glory, and there was some extremely strong emotion in that gaze.
It's just that it's hard for Shu Guan to tell what that emotion is.
But Shu Guan didn't feel any malice in those emotions.
But a "leaf" growing on an extremely weird tree deep underground showed such an unusual concern for glory, which still made Shu Guan feel more and more weird.
So he still wanted to communicate with this figure.
Last time Shu Guan felt that this figure seemed to understand what they were saying.
"do you know him?"
Then Shu Guan looked at the figure and asked this question.
The figure remained silent for a moment.
Although it has always been quiet and cannot make any sound, silence is an emotion, and not all silence is called silence.
At this moment, Shu Guan could clearly distinguish the other party's emotions.
After a moment of silence, the figure began to wave his hands and make various gestures.
It can be seen that it is very anxious to express this to Shu Guan.
It's a pity that Shu Guan couldn't understand those gestures at all.
"Sorry, I can not understand what you said."
Shu Guan said this to the figure.
The figure was stunned for a moment, and then started spinning around like ants on a hot pot.
Shu Guan was a little apologetic, feeling that his desire to communicate had made this figure so anxious.
However, Shu Guan soon discovered that the figure did not seem to be wandering around, because although the figure kept walking left and right, it would stop every seven or eight seconds, " After looking around for a moment, he started to move around again.
But Shu Guan still didn't understand what this figure was doing.
At this moment, Xiaoyi's voice rang in his head.
"Brother, it is writing. Look at its footsteps."
Upon hearing this, Shu Guan immediately looked towards the figure's feet.
At this time, I saw the figure walking straight to the left for a few steps, then walking straight back for a few steps, and then diagonally taking two steps to the side.
...Is this a horizontal hook...
Shu Guan looked at it carefully and felt a strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Could this figure still write?
Then the figure walked a few more steps, then stopped and "looked" at Shu Guan, as if asking Shu Guan if he understood.
It's a pity that Shuguan only paid attention to it after writing half of the word, and was reminded by Xiaoyi. If it was really writing a word with its footsteps, Shuguan couldn't identify what it actually wrote. Character.
The figure seems to be as light as a feather, and may even have no mass at all. There are no footprints left on the ground where it walked, so Shu Guan cannot tell what was originally written on it through the traces.
"Brother, what it just wrote was a sentence."
Then Xiaoyi's voice rang again.
Xiaoyi can naturally remember all the trajectories that the figure walked just now.
"What words?"
Shu Guan asked quickly.
"I am his grandfather Rong Xianjun."
At this moment, Shu Guan's whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole mind felt in a mess.
Rong Xianjun?
Shu Guan naturally knew this name. It was indeed the name of Rong Miao and Grandpa Guangrong. On the first day of the new year, when the Rong family worshiped their ancestors, Shu Guan saw it in the Rong family ancestral temple.
The problem is, this figure actually said it was Rong Xianjun.
"You said you are Rong Xianjun?"
Shu Guan finally came to his senses and asked in a ridiculous tone.
The fact that he would ask this question does not mean that he believed Ren Ying'er's "words".
He just blurted it out subconsciously.
However, following Shu Guan's words, the figure seemed to be trembling with excitement and nodded repeatedly at Shu Guan.
Then it started running again.
It really is "writing".
Xiaoyi, on the other hand, helped Shuguan translate word by word in his mind.
Shu Guan's expression slowly changed from absurd, ridiculous, and disbelief to confusion, surprise, shock, and disbelief...
The figure "wrote" a lot of words. It ran as if it would never get tired. It was filled with excitement. Perhaps it was because it had not talked with a real person for too long.
The words "written" by the figure tell a story, which is a bit complicated, and the words may not convey the meaning. Maybe even it itself doesn't understand what the matter is.
Because even in the eyes of a practitioner like Shu Guan, this is an extremely mysterious and incredible thing.
Of course, if this matter is described simply, it can be explained clearly in one sentence.
That was after Rong Xianyun died... If this figure was really Rong Xianyun... He seemed to have fallen asleep. When he woke up, he found himself hanging on the tree and turned into a shadow. .
Of course, when the figure was writing, he wrote a lot about his feelings, doubts, sadness, and fear at that time. Naturally, it was because after so many years, someone was finally willing to listen to him "talk". The figure had naturally suppressed it for so many years and was speechless. The words poured out in one fell swoop.
He also "told" that originally he wanted to tell his closest relatives about these things, but when he tried once and wanted to tell his most beloved granddaughter about this matter, his most beloved granddaughter Rong Miao was so frightened that she ran out of the house.
When Shu Guan heard that Xiao Yi helped translate here, he immediately understood that the figure was talking about the first time Rong Miao saw the figure.
And since that time, Ren Ying'er also understood that no one would wait to see him "write" all the time. His appearance would only scare his family, and even treat him as a ghost.
So since then, the figure has never appeared in front of the Rong family. He only came out of the ground during the Chinese New Year and secretly hid aside to see his relatives.
That was also his "New Year's Eve".
It was the same this year, but this year his peeping was discovered by Shu Guan. Because he was afraid of scaring his granddaughter and Shu Guan, the figure hurriedly hid underground.
When he heard this, Shu Guan felt inexplicably sad.
At this moment, he no longer doubted everything this figure said, although it still sounded so incredible.
Then Shu Guan believed that it was Rong Xianjun's figure and told him one more thing.
Those were the figures hanging on that strange tree. I encountered the same "people" as him.
Like Rong Xianjun, they all woke up again after death and found themselves hanging on this strange tree.
Of course, they also have one thing in common, that is, all of them died in the Rong Manor.
Therefore, hanging on the luminous strange tree at the moment are many members of the Rong clan who died in the Rong clan manor in the past two hundred years.
For a moment, when I heard Shu Guan here, I felt a sense of absurdity in my heart again.
He had participated in the ancestor worship ceremony of the Rong family. The whole family gathered in the ancestral temple in the manor, respectfully lit incense and worshiped, praying for the protection of their descendants from their ancestors.
But who could have imagined that the ancestors of their Rong family were all hanging on a strange big tree under their feet. In a sense, they were all still alive, and they could even hear their prayers. language.
...Perhaps, the Rong family's family fortune has been prosperous over the years, not only because of the feng shui of this manor, but also because the ancestors of the Rong family have really been silently protecting them.
Shu Guan had such a clear understanding in his heart.
Of course, the figures hanging on the tree at the moment are not all the ancestors of the Rong family, and some are people who originally lived in the manor before the Rong family bought it.
Others are people who died near this place before this manor was even built.
According to Rong Xianjun, the oldest figure on the tree died four to five thousand years ago. As for how many thousand years ago, he himself couldn't remember clearly.
At that time, the land of Shencheng was even submerged in the sea water, and the man was a fisherman who accidentally fell into the water and drowned when he encountered a strong wind while going fishing.
Rong Xianjun ran around and wrote a lot of words. At a certain moment, he finally stopped.
But after listening to Xiaoyi's "translation" in his mind, Shu Guan's heartbeat could not calm down for a long time.
...In other words, as long as the souls of people who die here are enveloped by the Feng Shui aura, their souls will neither dissipate nor go to the underworld or even become ghosts after death. Instead, they will all be absorbed by this tree. The strange tree sucked it in and became a "leaf" on this tree.
Shu Guan turned his head and stared blankly at the strange tree floating quietly on the river.
At first, he thought this strange tree was strange and inexplicable, but at this moment, Shu Guan realized that he had underestimated the magic and mystery of this strange tree before.
This tree is still so weird and magical, so what secrets are hidden behind the equally magical stone gate upstream of the river?
A strong desire to know the truth surged out of Shu Guan's heart.
…
Shu Guan returned to the manor with glory.
He didn't tell Glory that when they came up, the figure "looking" at them as if they were saying goodbye was his grandfather Rong Xianjun, who had lived with him since childhood.
Nor did he tell him that his great-grandfather, grandpa Gao, grandpa Xuan were still hanging on that tree...
Although Glory asked him what those strange shadows were, Shu Guan still couldn't bear to tell him.
This was a decision made by Shu Guan and Rong Xianjun after discussion.
Of course, the original suggestion was made by Shu Guan, because if you tell the Rong family that their ancestors are actually still "alive", they have turned into weird and inexplicable shadow-like beings, hanging on the On a big tree deep underground.
For the ordinary mortals of the Rong family, this incident may not bring them joy. On the contrary, it will make them feel fearful and even don't know how to deal with it.
They are even more worried about whether they will become such a "leaf" after they die in this manor.
Shu Guan was also a little confused at this moment, whether his suggestion that Rong Duanfu and his family come back to live in the Rong Manor was the right suggestion.
Are you willing to accept that your father-in-law, mother-in-law, or even Rong Miao will become a "leaf" on that tree?
Even if that was actually a resurrection in a certain sense, Shu Guan still found it unacceptable.
It seems that I can only let my father-in-law and mother-in-law leave the manor when their time is approaching.
Of course, the best way is to find out the secret of that strange tree and see if there is any way to completely solve the problem of this strange tree sucking the souls of dead people.
Although I have no clue now, fortunately, both Rong Duanfu and Zhang Ruolan are in their prime, and their deadlines are still far away.
Coupled with the fact that I am here, there is absolutely no problem in letting my father-in-law and mother-in-law live healthily for another seventy or eighty years.
I still have a lot of time to solve this matter.
Thinking of this, Shu Guan finally relaxed a little.
And of course, when he and Glory returned to the manor, it was already nearly noon on the second day.
As soon as they returned to the manor, Rong Duanfu came in a hurry.
"I received an urgent telegram from your uncle this morning, saying that he encountered a very difficult matter and wanted to ask you to go to Jinling to help him."
Rong Duanfu said to Shu Guan with a serious expression.
Today's two chapters are over 8,000 words long, which can be regarded as a supplement to yesterday's chapter.
