"Among the five families, the Xiao family has the highest status, followed by the Bai family, the Xia family and the Wang family, and the Jiang family is at the bottom."
"In front of the Xiao family, there is Mr. Xiao, Xiao Wuming, and in the back there is Xiao Sanyan, the strongest of the younger generation from the five families. There are few rivals among them. Only the third lady of the Bai family, Bai Xiu, can compete with the junior uncle for the first place. title."
Wang Sanhua scratched the back of her head and smiled: "Our Wang family and Xia family are about the same strength, so I won't say more. The most pity is the Jiang family. If the genius of the Jiang family had not died, he would probably be able to compete with Mr. Xiao. They are all vying for the position of leader. It’s a pity..."
It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people, and fate plays tricks on people!
Wang Sanhua took a sip of rice wine and looked at the gauze curtains rolled up by the wind. Red lanterns were hung in the city. Unexpectedly, they have been closed in recent years.
While cultivating and cultivating my mind in the contemplation, I had already forgotten the four seasons, and I never thought I would be able to come back to celebrate the New Year.
"The genius of the Jiang family..."
Jiang Yu didn't think the Jiang family had anything to do with her. The jade plaque she got from her uncle was engraved with the character "Chen", not Jiang.
But Jiang Yu felt a little sad that they had the same surname and were in the same family a hundred years ago.
It is not easy for a person to practice cultivation, and there are countless people who have failed on this path.
Pity.
The carriage swayed gently, and the red lanterns outside were particularly eye-catching in the vast whiteness.
It doesn’t snow very often in Shu, but Tianyun Mountain is an exception. It is a remote place with four distinct seasons. She used to walk in the snowy mountains and go to the hut by the stream to smoke the meat she and her master smoked with pine and cypress branches in late autumn. Bring it to stew.
I went down the mountain in early spring, and now it's winter. I didn't expect that the year is almost over.
Master, where did he go?
Thinking like this, Jiang Yu didn't notice that the car gradually stopped.
"We're here!"
Wang Sanhua's whistling voice brought Jiang Yu back from her thoughts. She rubbed her eyes and followed him out of the car.
There was only one of their carriages at the side door. When the two young men at the porter saw that the distinguished guest had arrived, they hurried forward to greet him.
"The distinguished guests have worked hard all the way. The Xiao family has prepared a private room. Please take a rest. We have prepared a special reception banquet in the evening. We will discuss exorcism tomorrow."
Wang Sanhua looked around and asked: "The reception banquet? Are we the only ones here today?"
"This...answer to our distinguished guest." The young man only hesitated for a moment, and then respectfully said, "The second and third bedroom uncles also invited the immortal master to come to the house. They have already arrived first. I want to come at this time. I am resting in the courtyard, and I will go with you to receive Feng Yan in the evening."
Jiang Yu stood still and yawned with tears streaming down her face. She rubbed her eyes and followed Wang Sanhua when she saw Wang Sanhua talking to his two nephews and the porter.
"...Your distinguished guest, please come this way."
Entering from the gatehouse, bypassing the corridor and turning behind the main house, Jiang Yu and the others came to a courtyard. The servant bowed and said, "This is Yunxiang Courtyard. Several distinguished guests have been resting here these days." If anything happens, just ask the attendants in the courtyard."
"Hey, didn't you say there were a few more people? Why didn't you see them?"
Seeing that there was no movement in the courtyard, Wang Sanhua grabbed the boy who was about to leave and asked quickly.
"Back to my distinguished guests, the second-bedroom uncle has invited the third lady of the Bai family. She doesn't need to live in our Xiao Mansion. The third-bedroom uncle has invited the demon hunter from Yuling Mansion. He came yesterday and lives in the east wing. , I went out early this morning, I guess I haven’t come back yet.”
The demon hunter of Yuling Mansion?
Sure enough, after going down the mountain, Daqi was full of people from Yuling Mansion and Xingyan Sect, and it was impossible to hide.
Jiang Yu brushed off the fine snow that fell on his shoulders and looked up. The pool in the middle of the yard was covered with a thin layer of broken ice. Several koi carps were playing in it, making ripples.
The road in the middle has been cleaned by the attendants long ago. Several bushes of wintersweet and red plum blossoms are blooming in the snow. The fragrant courtyard is really beautiful.
After the concierge boy left, Jiang Yu also put his luggage in the side room. As soon as he opened the door and walked out, he saw Wang Sanhua and his two nephews had also put away their belongings and were practicing in the courtyard.
Xunfeng and Zhenmu stood on horseback, with their uncle Wang Sanhua guiding their movements.
"... Open your legs. Your master has given me the task of practicing during this period. From now on, you will come to the courtyard to practice at nine o'clock every day. In addition to morning and evening classes and daily magic practice, you will also have to train in these days. Don’t let your fists and kicks disgrace your master these days.”
The two boys blushed and responded. Wang Sanhua sat on the stool and dug her ears, then nodded and murmured in a low voice.
"Don't even know where to run when the time comes... Ouch! Who's going to hit me?"
The young man covered his head and turned around with eyes wide open. When he saw Jiang Yu, who was flicking his head with his fingers and a smile on his face, his anger suddenly disappeared.
"Ginger, layman Jiang."
"Daozhang Wang, what are you doing?..."
Jiang Yu looked at the two children who were thin and trembling even when they were on horseback. The two of them looked at the general's seven or eight years old. They were not too young. Why haven't they even touched fists and feet?
"To be honest, this time I came to the Xiao family to get rid of evil spirits, I'm afraid there will be many dangers. My two nephews, who are usually favored by the little uncle in the temple, are only good at using spells but not fists, now they are out I realized they were in trouble and asked me to train them specifically."
Wang Sanhua changed her casual attitude, cleared her throat and said seriously: "Several people in the Xiao family have disappeared, and I am afraid they are all related to the evil spirit. I am also thinking about it. If I have trouble with my junior uncle, Xunfeng and Zhenmu can also rush back to inform Master."
"I see."
Jiang Yu nodded: "I know only a little about the situation in the Xiao Mansion, why don't you give me a lecture, Taoist Wang?"
When it came to gossip, Wang Sanhua became interested, and regardless of the two young nephews standing by with trembling legs and gritted teeth, she quickly asked Jiang Yu to sit down, added a cup of tea and started talking.
"Although it is not good to talk about the master's family in other people's homes, since you are with us, you should know some things, and I should tell you."
He took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "As far as I know, Mr. Xiao's symptoms were indeed symptoms at the beginning. He had a cough, a chill, and was cold all over. He invited many doctors to see him, and even Pingjiang Dr. Sun, the best expert, was also invited, but the effect was not satisfactory."
"Later on, Mr. Xiao stopped going out and stayed at home. It wasn't until the Xiao family sent someone to go to Guanli to find the junior uncle that they found out that they suspected it was a problem of evil spirits. You must know that this is Xiao Wuming, the leader of the five Pingjiang families. Man, with his cultivation, there are few opponents in the world. If he can attack him and still let him be infected by evil spirits, he must not be very energetic."
Jiang Yu looked a little strange after hearing this. She looked at Wang Sanhua for a long time and sighed.
"Master Wang...have you never caught evil spirits before?"
Wang Sanhua was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
"Because if it's a big evil spirit, it can't hide its Qi. Especially a ferocious evil spirit can even affect the environment."
The answer came from the door, and both of them were stunned. They saw a man wrapped in a black and white dumpling standing there, exhaling and rubbing his hands desperately.
It's a little girl.
There was a fighting pen hanging on the little girl's waist. It floated up into the air without warning and hit her head in a circle. It hurt so much that she quickly took off her hat and covered her head.
An old-fashioned voice came from Doubi, chasing the little girl and hitting her on the head: "Stupid! Stupid! Why did I teach you, a stupid disciple, that it's called evil spirits and resentment! When evil spirits possess the human body, their strength will be greatly increased!"
"Ouch! Master, please stop hitting me! I know, I know!"
Is this little girl a monster hunter?
He actually carried a magic weapon with a weapon spirit.
The fighting pen chased the little girl into the courtyard and stopped hurriedly in front of Jiang Yu and the others.
"Hey, this girl..."
Jiang Yu became vigilant, there was still a gap between magic weapons and magic weapons... This weapon spirit should not be able to see the Qiankun Youxianlu...
"Master, you can't be so rude."
When the little girl stopped chasing her, she stopped, reached out to hold the pen, covered her head and smiled at Jiang Yu, showing her cute little tiger teeth.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Zha, the demon hunter invited by Xiao Sanxun. I also live in this courtyard temporarily."
