my fate is a monster

Chapter 113 Ximen High Officials

There were layers of runes carved on the inner wall of the black coffin.

The devil's eyes did not see the evil spirit.

But Qin Yu faintly saw wisps of faint black aura spreading over the coffin.

Not even runes can stop it.

This is the aura spread out by the fate pattern, although it is too thin to see through the fate name.

But Qin Yu found that this aura was very imaginary with the aura of the [Contain and Absorb] destiny.

After a person dies, his fate naturally dissipates and returns to the great road.

But except for the charm similar to [Contain and Absorb].

Qin Yu still searched for another trace of the remaining fate patterns from the sky above the coffin.

The lush green charm, which represents vitality, condenses into the shape of a green bamboo in the void.

The fate pattern has been condensed into an entity.

The pattern of this bamboo shape is the life pattern of [vital bamboo].

It represents strong vitality and vitality.

If the guess is correct, this remaining fate pattern belongs to the ancestor of the Peng family.

"The Vitality Bamboo Life Pattern is at the fourth level and has evolved three times. The ancestor of the Peng family is also a strong martial artist. His strength during his lifetime may not be lower than the fifth level."

"Then, just judging from the fate pattern, the ancestor of the Peng family probably did not die at the end of his life."

"His death is most likely related to the fate of [Containment and Absorption]!"

"However... it is not so easy to plunder the fate aura of the fourth-order [Vitality Bamboo]."

"At least it's not possible from a long distance. Before the ancestor of the Peng family died, he must have seen or come into contact with the master of the [Containment and Absorption] destiny!"

Looking at the funeral procession, Qin Yu secretly thought in his heart.

Compared with ordinary people, the fate of the ancestor of the Peng family is much more precious.

If it can be absorbed and fused, the lifespan and vitality provided will also be unprecedented.

It is obvious that the [Containment and Absorption] life master wants to achieve the purpose of life evolution by plundering the long-lived life style and the life span of ordinary people.

"You can plunder the fourth-level destiny, and the influence of your destiny is so large... Obviously, this guy is also familiar with the art of destiny..."

"So... this life master is most likely to be a powerful person like a life hunter..."

While he was deep in thought, he saw a figure in the center of the funeral procession suddenly staggering, unable to hold back, and fell directly to the ground.

"Little Liao!"

"Xiao Liao can't do it either!"

"Hurry up! Don't delay things!"

Soon, several men wearing white mourning clothes came over and helped Xiao Liao up from the ground.

The funeral procession was not affected and continued to move forward.

One of the old men stretched out his hand, put it on Xiao Liao's nose to test it, and then said in an old voice: "I'm afraid it won't work..."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the mourners around him looked over.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces were a little numb, obviously they were not surprised.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Zhou, you two will take the body to Yizhuang first. After the ancestor is buried, you will notify his family to handle the funeral arrangements."

"No matter what happens now, the ancestor's affairs should be the first priority, do you understand?"

The old man said to the person next to him diplomatically.

The people called Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou are also old men with white beard and hair and a stooped figure.

Hearing this, the two of them nodded in agreement.

Then, the funeral procession continued forward, leaving behind two living people and one dead person.

After the team moved farther away, Qin Yu walked to the three of them.

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou immediately became vigilant, and they all looked at Qin Yu, their cloudy eyes full of guard.

He was shocked by Qin Yu's youth, but at the same time he was afraid of this Taoist priest from a foreign country.

Because they had just seen the two strangers on the oxcart.

Especially this sick little Taoist priest always gives people a sense of horror that something bad is going to happen.

Qin Yu showed a warm smile, first glanced at the corpse Xiao Liao, and then said: "The two laymen may show me to the poor Taoist. Maybe this one is not dead yet, and I'm afraid he can still be saved."

The voice fell.

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou's expressions changed at the same time, they looked at each other, and then said more cautiously: "Master Dao, what do you mean?"

How can a dead person be resurrected?

Xiao Liao has long since run out of energy. What does it mean to be alive?
Could this little Taoist be evil?

Thinking of this, the two of them took a step back at the same time, blocking the corpse.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yu spread a ray of true energy slightly, pushed the two of them away, and then squatted in front of Xiao Liao.

He has goosebumps and white hair, layers of wrinkles, and age spots covering his face and neck.

Xiao Liao was indeed lifeless.

But it's really not dead.

The familiar black destiny aura is constantly overflowing from Xiao Liao's body.

It is exactly the charm of the destiny of [containing and absorbing].

At the moment, Qin Yu repeated his old trick, sweeping out a trace of bad luck and wrapping it up in Xiao Liao's fate pattern.

Instantly blocked the life-threatening power of [Containment and Drainage].

"Cough...cough..." The next moment, Xiao Liao coughed violently, and then miraculously opened his eyes.

"Hiss...it's so alive!"

"How is it possible? Uncle Zhong just said clearly that there is no hope..."

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou were stunned. They looked at Xiao Liao who had come back from the dead, and then looked at Qin Yu. They were in disbelief.

puff puff!
Soon, Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou fell to their knees at the same time and shouted: "The real person is really a heavenly master who has descended to earth! Please ask the heavenly master to save my Qingshui Village!"

"Please Heavenly Master save Qingshui Village!"

Qin Yu helped the two of them up with a smile and said: "I came to Qingshui Village just to save lives, heal the wounded and slay demons. However, I have a few questions. Please tell me the truth."

Although these two people have old faces, Qin Yu knows that they are actually young people.

It's just because of the influence of [Containment and Absorption] fate, but the lifespan and vitality have passed, and he has become an old man.

Hearing the title of "little brother", these two people were once again sure that the Taoist in front of them was undoubtedly the Celestial Master.

Being able to see through the strange things that happen to them at a glance, what is he but a heavenly master?
Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou nodded quickly and said, "Master Celestial just asks, we two will definitely know everything and tell you everything."

Qin Yu's expression became serious: "Have you ever seen anyone before your ancestor passed away? Pindao means outsiders."

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou thought for a while, and Xiao Yue spoke first: "The ancestor has always been in good spirits. Although he is over 100 years old, he can still bend a bow and set an arrow. He likes to study martial arts with some warriors on weekdays. Let's talk about it. If you are an outsider, then there are too many..."

Xiao Zhou then added: "Yes, the ancestor was a six-level martial arts expert during his lifetime, and most of the people who interacted with him were martial artists. For example, Mr. Tang and Mr. Gu from the Evil Suppression Department were all guests..." Tang Huowang , Gu Nanchao?

Qin Yu's heart moved and he continued to ask: "Are there any other strong people among them? For example, a Taoist, or a mysterious man with a cat?"

"The one with the cat?"

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou looked at each other again, both shook their heads, and Xiao Yue said: "We are both distant juniors of the Peng family, and we don't usually have contact with our ancestors, so we don't know this."

Qin Yu was not in a hurry, smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Do you two know when the strange thing about Qingshui Village growing old overnight started?"

Without thinking, Xiao Zhou blurted out: "Seven days ago, Peng Laowai, the head of the village, was the first one, and then one after another, and now it has almost spread to the entire village."

Seven days ago?

The funeral custom in Xijing is to bury the body at home for three days after death, and then bury it after funeral affairs.

In other words, the death of the Peng family ancestor actually happened after the sudden change in Qingshui Village.

And Laoya Village should have happened only three days ago.

The strange things happened in the two villages at different times.

Moreover, even in a village, strange things do not happen at the same time, but gradually from point to point.

This shows that the scope of influence of [Containment and Absorption] is not as large as Qin Yu imagined before.

Qin Yu frowned and said, "In other words, strange things happened before your ancestor passed away?"

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou nodded in unison, wondering what kind of medicine Qin Yu was selling in the gourd.

"In this case, our ancestor should also deal with such a big thing. Didn't he ask an expert to come and exorcise the evil?"

Qin Yu asked calmly.

Nowadays, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is not at peace, evil spirits appear in large numbers, and even the city of Xijing is not stable.

Most people would ask a heavenly master to exorcise evil spirits when something strange happened, let alone the ancestor of the Peng family.

Xiao Yue smiled bitterly and said: "There are five people in our Peng family who serve in the Evil Suppression Department, among which the eldest brother Peng Xiao is the Four Realms Evil Suppression Envoy, so the ancestor first invited Master Tang and Master Gu from the Evil Suppression Department to come. Nothing was found..."

Master Tang is naturally Tang Qing's father, and one of the four commanders of the Suppression of Evil Division.

Master Gu must be Gu Nanchao. Both of them are martial arts masters and come from the same lineage as the Peng family ancestors.

Two well-established senior officials, I don’t know what they do for a living.

This won’t work, and that won’t work either…

Qin Yu cursed while listening.

"Later, the ancestor invited the senior official Ximen from Xiliuzhuang to use the magic of destiny to drive away evil spirits, but in the end it was to no avail. I originally wanted to invite the ancestor Ximen to come, but my ancestor of the Peng family didn't wait..."

At this time, Xiao Yue continued, with a look of regret and misery on his face.

Qin Yu's eyes flashed, and he immediately interrupted him: "You said your ancestor also invited people from Xiliu Village?"

Xiao Yue didn't know why he was so moved. He was startled. He shrunk his neck and said inexplicably: "The ancestor of Ximen was a wandering Taoist in the past. He was proficient in the art of numerology, and the senior officials of Ximen were also influenced by him. The true biography also knows how to exorcise evil spirits, so the ancestor was naturally ill and sought medical treatment..."

Ancestor Ximen is proficient in the art of numerology!

Qin Yu's heart moved again, and he glanced at Xiao Liao who had just come back from the dead, and immediately said: "In that case, I'm afraid this little brother doesn't need to be sent to Yizhuang, so he took Pindao's ox cart and sent him home to recuperate. , what do you two think?"

Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhou were thinking about how to settle Xiao Liao. When they heard this, they both smiled happily and thanked them repeatedly.

Qin Yu waved his hand, then called Lao Huang and others, loaded the old Xiao Liao into the ox cart, and then the group headed to Qingshui Village.

Enter the village.

Qin Yu discovered that Qingshui Village did not have much remaining charm of the [Containment and Absorption] destiny.

Compared to the darkness of Laoya Village, this place is much clearer.

This is almost the same as Qin Yu's previous judgment.

[Containment and Absorption] The scope of influence of fate is limited.

This just confirmed the guess in Qin Yu's heart.

After sending Xiao Liao home.

Qin Yu and others continued to drive the ox cart to Xiliuzhuang, thirty miles away.

To reach Xiliuzhuang, they had to cross Pengjia Mountain. When the group arrived at the entrance of Xiliuzhuang Village, it was already late at night.

"Master Qin, where are we going next?"

Lao Huang stopped the oxcart, looked at the dark village entrance, and asked suspiciously.

The other villagers didn't know what Qin Yu wanted to do, so they all looked at him.

Qin Yu didn't look back and said calmly: "Go straight to the Ximen Ancestor's house."

Lao Huang and the other villagers looked at each other and said with embarrassment: "It's so late... The Ximen family is the supreme existence of Xiliu Village. Isn't it bad for us to disturb them late at night?"

Except for Lao Huang, the other villagers are all mud legs.

They are naturally afraid of big landowners like Patriarch Peng and Patriarch Ximen.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Yes... we came out to solve the strange things in Laoya Village. What are we going to do at the Ximen Ancestor's Mansion?"

"I heard that the official from Ximen had a bad temper. A few months ago, he beat to death two tenant farmers who couldn't pay for their food... Should we... go to the village and find a family to live in..."

"How about we go back... I see that Qingliu Village is like this. It should be God's punishment to punish us... There is no solution to this matter!"

The people who spoke out looked withered and old, but in fact they were all young people from Laoya Village, the juniors of Lao Huang. Naturally, they had short eyelids. When they heard about Patriarch Ximen, they were even more frightened.

Qin Yu turned around, looked at everyone's faces one by one, and then said with a smile but not a smile: "Do you want to die of old age like this, or return to normal, then marry a wife, have children, and live a happy life? You all still want to You don’t have a wife, do you? Do you know what it’s like to be a woman?”

A word that should not have come out of the Taoist priest's mouth caused everyone present to fall into silence for an instant.

In this way, Master Qin, you, a pure Taoist cultivator, have actually experienced what it's like to be a woman?

Several villagers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

After a long time, Lao Huang suddenly sighed and said: "If a man dies, a bird flies up to the sky, I'm so afraid of him! Master Qin came to Xiliuzhuang at all costs for our Lao Ya Village."

"That being the case, we believe in Master Qin!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his whip and drove the ox cart to the village road.

Not long after, the bullock cart stopped in front of a tall gated courtyard in the village.

In terms of luxury, the courtyard gate alone is larger than that of an ordinary village house.

Above the high gate, there are two large characters written on the plaque with red background and gold edge: "Ximen Mansion".

Lao Huang turned around and glanced at Qin Yu, then took a deep breath, jumped off the bullock cart, ran quickly to the gate, and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a strong and slightly impatient voice came from inside:
"Who is it in the middle of the night?"

Lao Huang cleared his throat and responded: "Qin Zhenren is passing by Guibao Land and came here specifically to pay a visit to the high officials of Ximen. Please open the door and let me know."

"Really Qin?" The voice was even more impatient, but soon there were footsteps.

Then the vermilion door creaked open, and a middle-aged man wearing silk and satin walked out.

　Thank you to Mr. Wu Jie 9966 for the reward.
