The next morning.

Li Jiuqing was taken away by an ordinary steward, whose name was Li Lei, and he was also one of the stewards of the Li family.

After he came all the way with Li Jiuqing to change the information, he gave Li Jiuqing time to pack his luggage. Li Jiuqing's luggage was not much, just a set of bedding, a few "miscellaneous notes", and a sharp hatchet he sharpened.

The entire Li family is located on Qiangan Ridge. There is no other family except the Li family within a hundred miles. There is only a human town after a hundred miles.

So the location of the Li family mausoleum is also in Qiangan Ridge. In this case, the work of the servants who usually guard the mausoleum is to clean up the fallen leaves outside the door and check the safety and movement inside and outside the mausoleum.

The overall work sounds simple.

But recently, all kinds of strange things have occurred in the Li family mausoleum, which may be due to the specialization of skills.

The Li family originally wanted to invite the Buddhist monks from Tianlong Temple to come and check. It is interesting that in the end, the two sides seemed to have not reached an agreement on the price, and the matter was dragged on.

Half an hour later.

Li Lei brought Li Jiuqing, who was holding a wooden cane, to the place where the Li family's tomb was located.

It was a tall, magnificent and imposing building.

The top of the building was engraved with a golden pattern of flying dragons and phoenixes. Two tomb beasts with bared fangs and claws were placed in front of the door to suppress evil spirits. There were four gold-plated characters on the top.

'Li's Ancestral Temple'

The temple was surrounded by gray stone walls with some special inscriptions engraved on the walls.

These inscriptions were engraved by the first head of the Li family and asked the formation master to engrave them. They usually have a protective function, and even if they are not activated, people can't easily approach them.

It seems that because of years of disrepair, the color of the golden dragon and phoenix that witnessed the glory of the Li family has faded, and there are cracks of different sizes on the tomb beasts in front of the door.

Through the cracks of the stone door that were not closed tightly, you can see that the interior of the tomb is also very messy, and many ancestral tablets have even fallen to the ground without anyone managing them.

Li Jiuqing was suspicious of this.

Ahead.

Li Lei put his hands behind his back. After Li Jiuqing brought him here, he stopped moving forward. Then the man pointed to a stone house not far away and said.

"This is it."

"That's where you live."

"Every noon is your time to clean this place. After noon, you should stay in the house and don't walk around. This way you should be able to live longer."

"Yes."

Li Jiuqing nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Lei looked at Li Jiuqing again and said with a complicated look: "I hope you can remember what I said."

As soon as these words came out, Li Jiuqing suddenly felt something was wrong.

If the first time was a reminder, then the second time was like a warning!

"Also, if there is anything wrong with the mausoleum, just come to me directly!"

After Li Lei said this, he looked around again and left.

Hearing this, Li Jiuqing also looked at the direction where Li Lei left with a complicated look.

"What the hell?"

"This Li Lei... has murderous intentions towards me?"

"Is it because I offended that Li General Manager?"

Li Jiuqing thought to himself. Because of his status as an evil cultivator, Li Jiuqing's five senses were more sensitive, so he could detect Li Lei's gaze.

But Li Jiuqing didn't understand the meaning of Li Lei's gaze.

But at this time, Li Jiuqing didn't care what Li Lei wanted to do.

After Li Lei's figure completely disappeared, Li Jiuqing began to prepare for his own affairs.

First, Li Jiuqing looked at where he lived. He lived in a very dilapidated stone house outside the mausoleum, which meant that Li Jiuqing might not be able to enter the mausoleum at will.

Normally, it would be useless to put an ordinary servant in such a mausoleum. The greatest use of the servants here is to return to the Li family every seven days to show their faces and explain any abnormalities.

If no servants go back to report after seven days, it means that there should be something wrong with the mausoleum, and then the Li family will send someone to check it out.

On the first day, Li Jiuqing did not move. He walked forward, opened the door of the stone house, and walked in.

The house cannot be said to be broken, but it can be said to be very broken. There are even many gaps where the stones are spliced, which leak air.

There are two doors at the entrance.

The left one is a wooden door, and the right one is also a wooden door.

In short, it is...

ordinary.

A broken bed, a wooden table with an angle, and a chair that seems to be unable to sit on, which is basically all the furniture.

There are also some worn-out pots and pans and half a bag of rice.

Putting aside these mundane things, Li Jiuqing sat down and pondered for a while.

"It seems that there seems to be... a problem inside the Li family."

Li Jiuqing's brain is still quite bright.

When he came, he looked through the gap in the stone door of the mausoleum. The degree of disorder inside the mausoleum means that no one has come to clean it for a long time.

As a very important ancestral temple of a family, it is actually dilapidated to this extent, which means that the Li family who are in power now don't care about this ancestral temple at all.

There is only one possibility for such a result. The one in power in the Li family now may not be the direct descendant of the Li family, or even the Li family may not be in power, otherwise such a situation would not occur.

But in any case, such a situation is very good for Li Jiuqing.

If the mausoleum is not taken seriously, he can act recklessly.

Li Jiuqing did not hesitate too much. He stood up, picked up his cane and walked out. However, in order to prevent anyone from snooping, he was cautious in everything. Li Jiuqing pretended to pick up a broom and approached the Li family mausoleum.

It turned out that Li Jiuqing was not wasting time. The moment Li Jiuqing took the broom and went out, he suddenly felt as if he was being watched.

Of course, this was just a feeling...

"Rustle~"

Dust was raised.

Dead leaves were flying.

Li Jiuqing cleaned the fallen leaves on the road as if nothing had happened, and then approached little by little.

In front of the mausoleum.

Li Jiuqing gently probed, and the seemingly half-closed stone door immediately gave Li Jiuqing an extremely heavy feeling.

The spiritual energy in his body was running, and Li Jiuqing exerted more force, and the heavy feeling became more obvious. There was also a very obvious force floating on the stone door, preventing Li Jiuqing from pushing further. After feeling this strangeness, Li Jiuqing quickly withdrew his hand.

The whole process took only two breaths.

‘This stone door weighs at least a thousand pounds, and there are other powers supporting it.’

Li Jiuqing sighed calmly in his heart, and then took the broom to continue cleaning somewhere else.

Half an hour later, after noon, Li Jiuqing put away the broom and returned to the stone house.

According to the normal psychology of a servant, it is definitely impossible to disobey Li Lei’s reminder. If Li Jiuqing is still hanging around outside after noon, it can only mean one thing.

There is something wrong with him...

The feeling of being watched did not disappear, so some of Li Jiuqing’s actions were based on the normal psychology of a servant.

After Li Jiuqing put down the broom and returned to the stone house, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

Sitting in the stone house, Li Jiuqing has already started to plan the next step. Now he is a servant guarding this place, but he has a problem.

There is a problem with the stone door at the entrance of the Li family’s mausoleum. Not only is it heavy, but there are other mysterious powers. He can’t open it at all in his current situation.

The rest of the place is full of high walls, and there are special runes on them for protection. It seems unrealistic to want to get in through the wall.
