I originally thought of coming to the Taoist Temple to raise an army to investigate the crime, but it turned out that the mastermind behind it was myself.
This made Xu Ke feel a little ridiculous in his shock.
In Xu Ke's memory, his parents in this life were both honest farmers and very responsible people.
Even if Xu Ke's status brought them a higher status, it would only improve their living conditions, and they wouldn't collude with the demonic monks, right?
If you really have any spiritual needs, just find a Taoist temple and just say something, and there will naturally be people to please them. Where is the need to collude with the demonic monks?
So... Kunwu Academy was built by my father, but it was probably not him who colluded with the demonic monks.
Of course, this is all just speculation, and the truth still needs to be verified.
After leaving the Taoist temple, Xu Ke drove directly to Dun Guang and rushed towards his hometown.
This time, Xu Ke naturally returned to his true colors.
After hurriedly escaping all the way, Xu Ke arrived at Lingyuan County, Guzhou.
The light was hovering in mid-air, and Xu Ke looked down at Lingyuan County. Lingyuan County now is completely different from Lingyuan County eight years ago.
The city became larger and more prosperous.
Moreover...Lingyuan County is no longer called Lingyuan County, and has been renamed "Kunwu County".
Xu Ke's hometown in this life, the poor mountain ravine, is also very different.
Qiongshan Valley was used to "move mountains" and the hills in front were removed, turning it into a fertile wilderness.
Behind is a large mountain, which has been named "Kunwu Mountain".
There is an exquisite, elegant and quiet mansion at the bottom of the mountain, with double eaves and hanging arches, carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, and surrounded by clear water in front.
A plaque hangs high at the gate of the house, reading "Kunwu Villa".
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
What's more, they are not chickens or dogs, but Xu Ke's parents and relatives.
With Xu Ke's current status, someone would naturally handle these things for Xu Ke without even opening his mouth.
Xu Ke gathered away the invisible sword energy, revealed his figure, and fell in the direction of Kunwu Villa.
"Stop whoever comes!"
On Kunwu Mountain behind Kunwu Villa, a figure flew over and stopped in front of Xu Ke.
"This is the former residence of Master Kunwu. You are not allowed to enter unless you are invited."
This man was wearing the standard Taoist robe of the Cangmang Immortal Alliance, and he was carrying a flying sword behind his back. The spiritual energy flowing in his body was clearly the Canglang Sword Qi of the Manghe Sword Sect.
Have you sent someone to guard the mansion?
People from the Manghe Sword Sect, this should be what Master Youquan meant. His son is my apprentice, and he must take good care of this former residence.
It's just...what the hell is this old house? The old house was not so gorgeous.
Xu Ke smiled and bowed to the man, "Thank you for taking care of me. I am Xu Ke. I am here...just to go home."
With that said, Xu Ke took out two more identity tokens. On one side is the command talisman of the elder of the Cangmang Immortal Alliance, and on the other side is the command talisman of the former guest minister of the Manghe Sword Sect.
"Meet Master Kunwu."
Seeing these two talismans, the monk from the Manghe Sword Sect quickly bowed to Xu Ke and saluted.
Many of the monks of the Manghe Sword Sect have never met Xu Ke. It was normal for this person not to recognize Xu Ke for a moment.
"No need to be polite."
Xu Ke also hurriedly returned the gift, "Please take care of this place and take care of my family. Xu Ke would like to thank you."
When someone helps you look after your house, naturally you can't just say thank you.
Xu Ke took out a flying sword magic weapon and gave it as a thank you gift.
This person is also a foundation-building practitioner, and a flying sword magic weapon is already a frightening gift.
This is mainly because...Xu Ke doesn't have anything lower level at hand.
This flying sword magic weapon was obtained after killing fifteen golden elixir monks of the Five Plagues Sect.
Xu Ke refined the Flying Sword and transformed the Five Plagues aura in the Flying Sword magic weapon into the water aura, and then took it out as a thank you gift.
"This...thank you Master Kunwu for the reward."
A water-based flying sword magic weapon is a treasure that cannot be refused to the sword cultivators of the Manghe Sword Sect.
The man hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Xu Ke to thank him and accepted the gift of thanks.
Who said that guarding the mortal home of Master Kunwu is a hard job? Isn’t this the benefit?
"Good work."
Xu Ke bowed his hands and saluted, said goodbye to the monk, and continued... home.
With such a sword cultivator from the Manghe Sword Sect guarding his hometown, Xu Ke could confirm that his parents could not collude with the demonic monks in this life.
Any demonic monk who dares to approach will be struck to death with a sword.
Falling at the door of the house, Xu Ke reached out and knocked on the door.
The side door opened, and a middle-aged man in smart clothes showed his head from the door and said to Xu Ke: "This is Kunwu Villa, please don't enter unless you have permission. Who are you? What are you doing here?"
This concierge was full of zhenqi, and he was clearly a martial arts master with strong martial arts skills.
The gatekeepers are all martial arts masters. This is the rise in status brought about by the rising tide.
"I'm Xu Ke, and I'm just...going home!"
Xu Ke thanked the concierge and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of my house for me."
"It turned out to be Master Kunwu in person. Please forgive me for not being able to recognize Mount Tai."
The man quickly bowed and said, "Wu Shanchuan, the captain of Xucheng City, Xiaguzhou Inspection Department, pays homage to Master Kunwu."
Well, this concierge is well-established and was sent by Liang Guo officials.
"No need to be polite, please get up quickly."
Xu Ke stretched out his hand to help the captain-level concierge up. His consciousness searched in the storage gourd for a while and found a bottle of healing pills during the Qi training period.
Xu Ke bought this a few years ago and has kept it in the storage gourd without cleaning it. Fortunately it wasn't cleaned up, otherwise I wouldn't know what to give away.
"This is a bottle of healing elixir for the Qi training period."
Xu Ke handed the bottle of healing elixir to the concierge captain Wu Shanchuan, "Thank you for looking after Gu's house. It's just a small gift, but please accept it."
"Thank you Master Xu for your reward."
The concierge captain Wu Shanchuan was so excited that he trembled all over and quickly reached out to take the bottle of elixir.
This is the "elixir"!
The healing elixir of a qi-training monk is a life-saving elixir to a mortal warrior. Not only can it save lives, but it can also greatly increase martial arts cultivation, making it easier to break through the realm.
After putting away the elixir, Wu Shanchuan, the concierge and captain, quickly opened the door and shouted into the yard: "Master Kunwu is back home!"
After this shout, there was a sudden silence in the house.
When everyone realized who Kunwu was, the whole house was in a state of excitement.
The steward, accountant, gardener, coachman, and servants from all walks of life came to the front yard to line up and bowed to Xu Ke.
Immediately, a group of maids, big and small, surrounded by Master Xu, Mrs. Xu, Master Xu, and Miss Xu, hurried towards the front yard.
"Meet Father and Mother."
Seeing everyone arriving, Xu Ke quickly saluted his parents.
"Meet Master Kunwu."
All the maids bowed to Xu Keshi one after another.
"Meet you, big brother!"
The younger brothers and sisters also quickly saluted Xu Ke.
After everyone paid their respects, Xu Ke walked into the backyard with his parents, siblings, and sat down in the hall.
"Son, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all!"
The mother raised her eyes to look at Xu Ke, with tears in her eyes.
"My sons are now immortals. What hasn't changed?"
My father laughed, "I used to be so dark and thin, but now I look like an immortal."
The younger siblings seemed a little reserved.
No wonder.
They were still young when Xu Ke entered the Immortal Sect. Now that eight years have passed, it is inevitable that I will seem a bit rusty.
"It's just a little bit of cultivation, not even an immortal."
Xu Ke smiled and chatted with his parents, and also said something to his younger siblings. The family soon returned to its original atmosphere, and no longer felt the alienation caused by status.
Under Xu Ke's eyes, neither his parents nor his younger siblings could sense any spiritual energy, let alone any demonic aura.
This shows that...the parents and younger siblings are ordinary people without spiritual roots, and further proves that colluding with the demonic monks to sell boys and girls should have nothing to do with them.
"Dad, I heard that you built a Kunwu Temple near Liangcheng? What's going on?"
After talking with his family for a while, Xu Ke directly asked about the reason for this matter.
"Liangcheng...Kunwu Temple..."
Father frowned and thought about it, as if he had not thought clearly, and asked again: "Where is Liangcheng?"
Well, that's not surprising.
Originally he was just an honest farmer, but in recent years Xu Ke's status improvement has brought about changes that have lifted all boats.
The time was too short, and it was clear that my father had not yet broken away from the level of knowledge of a country farmer.
"Liangcheng is the capital of the Liang Kingdom."
The second brother next to him took over and reminded his father.
"Oh, Guodu, I remembered."
Only then did his father remember it, and said to Xu Ke, "That's what happened. About two or three years ago, an immortal master came to visit. He said he was a fellow disciple of yours, and his surname seemed to be Wang. "
"This Immortal Master Wang said that you are now successful in cultivation and are a big shot in the Immortal Sect. In order to show that you are from the Liang Kingdom and to give the Liang Kingdom a backing, they want to use my name to build a Kunwu Temple in the capital."
"When others see this Kunwu Temple, they will not dare to take action against Liang Guo, and Liang Guo will be stable."
"I was thinking that it would be a good thing if the Liang Kingdom would not be bullied, would not have to fight, and everyone would be able to settle down."
His father raised his head, glanced at Xu Ke, and asked, "You are asking this now, is there something wrong with this Kunwu Temple?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious and asked casually."
Xu Ke smiled, changed the subject, and stopped talking about these things to his family.
However, Xu Ke was still thinking about who this monk named Wang was.
He claims to be from the same sect and can be recognized by the monks of the Manghe Sword Sect who guard this place. It must be true and he must be from the Haoyang Sect.
Haoyang Sect, surnamed Wang, Wang Changqing, deputy master of the Sinong Hall, has now arrived at the Southern Xinjiang Plague Department and is responsible for farming affairs within the territory of the Five Plagues Sect.
Who else is from the same family named Wang?
Maybe my father didn't hear it clearly, or didn't remember it clearly. Maybe it wasn't Wang.
Huh? Wait, there really is a fellow disciple named Wang.
When I was farming in Hedongfang, there was a senior brother Wang Youren who was both greedy for petty gains and timid.
At the beginning, Senior Brother Wang and Gao Zhengzheng encountered a tide of gravel beasts, and it was Xu Ke who rescued them.
Because Wang Youren was old and later retired to his hometown, Xu Ke also asked him to copy some Qi training and foundation building exercises, and asked him to take them back to his hometown to start a practicing family.
So...this matter has something to do with Wang Youren?
He colludes with evil cultivators and sells boys and girls?
Isn't it? Even if he takes advantage of small things and sells boys and girls, how much money can he make? How could he do such a thing for such a small amount of money?
The matter has not yet been concluded, and Xu Ke has not made any random guesses for the time being.
It's easy to find out the truth about this kind of thing, just go to Wang Youren's house and take a look.
Afterwards, Xu Ke continued talking to his family.
It wasn't until after dinner and everyone had a rest that Xu Ke took control of the invisible sword and flew away silently.
Xu Ke naturally didn't know where Wang Youren's hometown was.
However, this kind of thing can be easily solved. Just send a message to the sect and you will receive the news immediately.
A moment later, Xu Ke received the news and learned the address of Wang Youren's hometown.
Wang Youren's hometown is called Kezhou, located on the western border of Liang State, at the junction with Chen State.
The journey was a bit long, so in order to go back quickly, Xu Ke directly used the Lingbao Hunyuan Qi Taichu Talisman to drive the invisible sword escape, bursting out the extremely fast light escape speed.
Soon after, Xu Ke came to Wangjiabao on the border of Kezhou.
This is Wang Youren’s hometown.
Hovering in mid-air, Xu Ke looked down at the Wangjia Fort below, and then...a demonic aura with a scarlet halo of blood lingered in the Wangjia Fort. Vaguely, it seemed as if there were countless resentful souls crying. Wail.
Blood Sea Demonic Way?
Is Wang Youren really possessed by a demon?
Xu Ke frowned tightly, what's the reason?
Looking at the origin of the bloody sea of demonic energy, Xu Ke's figure swayed and floated down silently, landing at Wangjiabao.
Following the traces of the demonic energy flowing, Xu Ke came all the way to the back mountain of Wangjiabao and walked into a cave sealed by the formation.
The sight in front of him... made Xu Ke's eyes wide open and filled with rage.
This is an alchemy room.
On the stone platform in the middle of the cave, there stood an alchemy cauldron about ten feet high, with scarlet blood swirling in the alchemy cauldron.
Surrounding the Alchemy Stone Platform is a pool of blood.
The roiling blood surged like a tidal wave. Between the surge of blood, countless young corpses were exposed.
Thousands of children's corpses were hidden or reappeared in the waves of the blood pool. Their young faces were bruised and ferocious, as if they were complaining to God about their grievances.
How cruel this is!
How cruel this is!
How evil this is!
Xu Ke's anger was like a volcano that had been accumulated to its limit, and the churning anger surged crazily in his heart.
How can people be so evil?
How can the human heart be so vicious?
Wang Youren, you are dead!
Xu Ke clenched his fist tightly, his joints cracking.
Kunwu Temple... Haha, what a Kunwu Temple!
What a fellow disciple of Master Kunwu, what a good friend of Master Kunwu.
Such an evil and cruel thing, such an unscrupulous thing, you actually do it under my name?
Do you think your life is too comfortable and want to taste what it's like to die?
