Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 179 The Poison Gu Sees Ni Duan
It was night, and Hu Yizhi returned to his residence in the Hu family's East Courtyard under the moonlight.

Liu Xiaolu, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, welcomed him into the main room, and the two closed the door. Liu Xiaolu was about to ask if there was any new progress today, but before he could say anything, Hu Yizhi waved him off.

Under Liu Xiaolu's puzzled gaze, Hu Yizhi took out a round white jade pendant from his bosom.

There was a flash of blue light at his fingertips, and after injecting it with spiritual power, the jade pendant formed a translucent circular mask out of thin air, enveloping the two people in the hall.

It wasn't until the mask was formed that Hu Yizhi raised his hand to signal Liu Xiaolu to speak.

"This is?" Liu Xiaolu looked at the white jade pendant in his hand and couldn't help asking in doubt.

Hu Yizhi smiled slightly, handed the jade pendant to Liu Xiaolu, and said,
"This is a medium-grade magic weapon made by your grandpa Lou. It can release the sound-proof cover. As long as the magic weapon is not broken by external force, even a foundation-building monk can hardly eavesdrop on our conversation."

Liu Xiaolu took the jade pendant, looked it over in his hand, and wondered, "Hey, why is there my name on it?"

Hu Yizhi looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a square deer character engraved on one side of the white jade pendant, and couldn't help chuckling, "This magic weapon was originally given to you by Uncle Lou. The name is not unusual."

"Give it to me? But I don't go out of the house on weekdays. What's the use of it? It's more useful for my father to hold it."

The girl in white waved her hands repeatedly when she heard the words, and hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant into Hu Yizhi's arms.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yizhi blocked her hand, and took out another piece of white jade with a similar style from his bosom, and said softly,
"Chi'er, the status of you and me in the Hu family is no longer what it used to be. You should take it with you in case you need it. Don't worry about me. Uncle Lou has also prepared another one for me."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu carefully put away the white jade pendant he was holding in his hand, then looked at Hu Yizhi beside him, and asked, "Did father gain anything in the city today?"

"There's been some progress today." Hu Yizhi said with a slight smile.

"Oh? Tell me!" Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but excitedly said.

Hu Yizhi stretched out his hand fondly to rub the girl's head, and then talked about today's events according to his words.

Liu Xiaolu heard that Luo Lin was injured by the Iron Spine Wolf, and hurriedly asked, "Luo Lin was injured? How is his injury? Is there a serious problem?"

Hu Yizhi patted the girl's hand, and comforted, "It's okay, it didn't hurt the root, and it will recover after a period of cultivation. Don't worry too much."

"That's good." Liu Xiaolu nodded, then asked again,
"What do you plan to do with the Golden Book? Although this matter involves the City Lord's Mansion, it is a grievance from the previous generation after all, and he is still a mortal without spiritual roots."

There is an unwritten rule among righteous Taoist cultivators, that is, one should not casually injure the lives of mortals, if one violates it, one will be infected with karma, and in the future, it will be extremely dangerous when it breaks through.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lou and I will not kill him. Since he has already told everything he knows, let's put him in the Vientiane Pavilion first." Hu Yizhi frowned and murmured road.

"Leave him in Zongyuan City? If City Lord Jin investigates this matter in the city, wouldn't Grandpa Lou and the others be implicated?" Liu Xiaolu said in surprise.

Hu Yizhi shook his head and said, "The Golden Book has no spiritual roots, so it is not valued very much in the city lord's mansion. Besides, the iron spine wolf riot, appearing in Luofenglin with his mortal body is more or less ominous. Jin City lord should not Will look into this matter.”

Liu Xiaolu frowned and said, "So, in the eyes of everyone, this golden book is already equivalent to a dead person?"

"Exactly." Hu Yizhi nodded slightly and said, "The only flaw in this matter now is that Wu Tianjiao, the daughter of the Wu family, saw Luo Lin take the golden book away with her own eyes."

"Wu Tianjiao?" Liu Xiaolu was taken aback, and quickly said, "Luo Lin and I met her in Jingtian Tower before, did she recognize Luo Lin?"

"That's not true. Luo Lin is a clever kid, covering his face." Hu Yizhi frowned.

Liu Xiaolu recalled it carefully, Luo Lin didn't seem to have spoken to that girl from the Wu family that day, presumably she couldn't tell Luo Lin from the voice, so she couldn't help feeling relieved.

Seeing her pensive expression, Hu Yizhi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's not wrong, father, don't worry, as long as Wu Tianjiao doesn't know Luo Lin's identity, even if she reveals the matter regardless of the kindness of saving her, it will be difficult to find Luo Lin." Liu Xiaolu shook his head and advised .

"I hope so." Hu Yizhi sighed, obviously still a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolu didn't have any good solution for a while, so he had to start another topic, "According to the golden book, I don't know what father's plan is next?"

After hearing the words, Hu Yizhi pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "According to what he said, there has never been a female priest during the foundation period in the city lord's mansion, but the previous wife of his father Jin Mengliang is said to have a very good cultivation."

"Then this golden book?" Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but wondered after hearing the words.

"Jin Mengliang has four children, the first two are left by his first wife, and the last two are the children of his current wife." Hu Yizhi explained.

"So that's it." Liu Xiaolu nodded and said, "Then this ex-wife of the City Lord's Mansion is the female Gu Master that father has been tracking down?
But isn't that female Gu master's lover a Ghost Eater Sect monk?With her strength in the foundation building period, how could she condescend to marry the son of the old city lord Jin? "

Regarding the news about the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Xiaolu has known a little bit these days. Although Jin Mengliang is the only son of the old City Lord Jin, his qualifications are mediocre.

Hu Yizhi shook his head slightly and said, "It's not sure yet, but that lady keeps a low profile and never walks with other female relatives in the city.

Although I don't know why she committed herself to Jin Mengliang, but I think this person is probably the same person as that female Gu master back then. "

"How can father be sure?"

"According to Jin Zishu, Jin Mengliang's eldest daughter, Jin Ziqin, likes to play with poisonous insects and poisons since she was a child. A few years ago, in order to escape marriage, she hurt Jin Mengliang with poisonous Gu."

"Since that's the case, how did she become the ex-wife? Did she die, or did she leave the City Lord's Mansion due to a quarrel with Jin Mengliang?" Liu Xiaolu asked puzzled.

"I don't know exactly what happened here, but the age difference between the gold chess piece and the golden book is less than one year.

Moreover, it was heard that not long after this girl left the City Lord's Mansion, the Jinghu Wu family married a beautiful clan girl into the City Lord's Mansion, presumably it was related to this. "Hu Yizhi guessed.

"I didn't expect that Jin Mengliang is still a vagabond." Liu Xiaolu chuckled when he heard this, and said with some emotion.
