The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 158 Ji Ping'an: Pei Wuju, come out and meet me! (Nine thousand words for subscription)

Xu Yuanyun hesitated for a while, as a relative who had taken refuge in the Pei family, she was treated very well in the mansion these days.And the situation of the current dynasty has also been fully grasped.

Pretending to be "Mo Chou" became more and more handy, and even the maids who were close to her couldn't see the flaws.

It's just that, after all, the guest is somewhere else. In a big family that pays attention to etiquette, she should keep her duty as a guest and should not inquire.

However, Pei's hexagram seeker entered the mansion, combined with what he had recently heard about the fact that the Patriarch hadn't returned for a long time, Xu Yuanyun suspected that there was something wrong with this matter, and if he didn't see it, he was unwilling. lips:

"Go and see from a distance, it's always boring in this building."

……

In the mansion, a door of the main house was pushed open.

Dressed as a guard, Tie Sha, a middle-aged martial artist with a dark complexion, walked into the door and glanced at the young master who was sitting cross-legged in the room, with relief in his eyes:
"Third Young Master, those hexagram masters have come to the house."

After the two of them returned from playing God, Pei Qian first showed off in Yuhang's "second generation" circle, earning enough vanity.

Then, due to the changes that happened in the mansion, he suddenly matured—at least it seemed like this. He didn't need to learn to wield a stick, and he would practice self-discipline.

"Oh?" The round and festive Young Master Jin Yi opened his eyes, was shocked, stood up swiftly, and said:
"Where are mother and second sister, I'll go there too."

Iron Sand Road:
"The madam and the second young lady didn't show up, so I just ordered my servants to invite those hexagram masters to sit down in the living room one after another. It seems that they haven't arrived yet."

Pei Qian said "Oh", he wanted to go to the reception, but the second sister didn't show up, so he should not show up indiscriminately to avoid bad things. After all, although he is quite confident in his potential and talent, he has no confidence in the brain , is admired.

"Tie Sha, do you think these hexagram masters are really capable?" Pei Qian was skeptical.

Iron Sha hesitated and said:
"I can't say it well. If it comes to martial arts, I can still taste a few things, but this method of divination is really mysterious, but if you want to come to the world, there are always some real talents. For example, Zhou Banxian has a great reputation."

Pei Qian sat down on the chair, patted his thigh and said:

"Unfortunately, Yuhang is too far away from the gods, otherwise I would ask Ji Sichen. If it comes to divination, the prison lords of the Qintianjian are experts. It is said that no one in the Taoist sect can do it."

Tie Sha shook his head and said nothing, thinking:
Young Master, you only met Ji Sichen once, so he may not be able to help you.

……

Pei's mansion covers a huge area and is magnificent. It is a typical Jiangnan garden-style building complex.

When Ji Ping'an came late, after showing the letter, he was immediately led into the mansion by a servant.

As far as the eye can see, there are rockery, flowing water, flowers and grass pavilions. If you come here for the first time, you will be dazzled and you will not be able to tell the north from the south.

"Mr. Li, please rest in this living room for a while, Madam will be here later." The servant made a gesture of invitation, and the word "Pei" embroidered on his chest was clearly visible in the sunlight:
"There are still a few gentlemen on the same road, and they will arrive first."

This is a supplementary sentence.

Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows, but it wasn't too surprising. He had seen some carriages and horses in front of the mansion before.

"So, did the Pei family invite all capable hexagram masters in Yuhang City?" Thinking in his heart, Ji Pingan smiled and nodded, and walked towards the hall ahead.

As soon as I stepped in, I really attracted several eyes. I saw that the main seat in the hall was vacant, with sandalwood tables and chairs on the left and right sides, covered with blue and white tea trays, filled with melons, pears and peaches, and there were servant girls hanging their heads at the door. serve.

And among those seats, there are about seven or eight hexagram masters, most of whom are dressed as Taoist priests, ranging in age from middle-aged to gray-haired, with good temperament, very different from charlatans who set up fortune-telling stalls in the market.

The most eye-catching one, also sitting in the first seat on the lower right, is a hexagram master who is nearly fifty years old, with half white and half black hair, and an immortal demeanor.

The appearance and dress are exactly like the Xingxiu old monster in Tianlong Babu... and the style is the most full, as if he is an "immortal teacher" and "expert".

At this moment, raising his eyes to look at Ji Ping'an, he couldn't help frowning, as if surprised by his youth and strangeness.

"This fellow has a very good face." A middle-aged divination master sitting at the end stroked his beard and suddenly asked, "I don't know where to sit?"

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "Old Liu Street, Yi Jing Zhai. A newly opened restaurant."

A quiet fast?Several hexagram masters were confused, and they were quite unfamiliar with this name.Any industry has its own small circle, and the hexagram masters in Yuhang are no exception.

Those who can be invited by the Pei family are all famous and know each other more or less.

It's a newcomer... How could Mrs. Pei rashly invite a newcomer?
Or, is he a disciple of a great Gua master in the Jianghu?A group of people were puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't show it. They just nodded as a courtesy.

Ji Pingan glanced at the few empty seats left, one was at the end near the door, and the other was the seat opposite to "Old Monster Xingxiu".

Without hesitation, he directly chose the latter to sit down.Seeing this scene, a group of hexagram masters had weird eyes, and the "old monster" with white beard and white hair showed even more displeasure.

One person laughed and said, "This comrade is so young, so he has the confidence to sit opposite 'Zhou Banxian'. I wonder which high-ranking disciple it is?"

This is testing the tone, and at the same time, there are some suspicions of provoking trouble.A group of hexagram masters attached great importance to the invitation to the Pei family this time. You must know that if you can get the attention of the Pei family, his status and reputation in the entire Jiangnan will be raised to a higher level in the future.

In the business of hexagram masters, fame is the only way to make money. A person who only tells fortunes to the poor, no matter how accurate his calculations are, his income is far less than that of a guest of a big family.

Therefore, a group of people regard each other as competitors, and even believe that today's gathering is likely to become a battle to determine the seat of Yuhang City Hexagram Master industry.

Significant.

However, this group of people didn't know that they took it very seriously and considered this "significant" gathering. In Ji Pingan's view, it was just a slightly interesting one among the many scenery in the world.

And their many thoughts, calculations, and intrigues can be clearly seen in Ji Ping'an's eyes.

Oh...so this "Xingxiu old monster" is surnamed Zhou... Well, this hair is half black and half white, why does it look like it was dyed... Could it be the hairstyle of the national teacher of cos in his later years... Ji Pingan smiled and said:

"There is no family, no sect, just scattered people in the world."

Zhou Banxian snorted softly, and praised in a strange way: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."

Ji Pingan smiled, as if he didn't hear the other party's sarcasm, and Zhou Banxian didn't say anything, just snorted, then closed his eyes and fell asleep, showing his superior demeanor.

There was no conflict... This immediately made a group of hexagram masters very regretful.

But it's normal to say that everyone is a fortune teller, so it's somewhat ugly to keep scolding the juniors every now and then.

Moreover, Ji Pingan claimed to be an undisciplined person, who would dare to take it seriously?One must be cautious when walking in the rivers and lakes. Those who are often unhappy and put pressure on things have died for many rounds.

For a while, everyone stopped talking and just drank tea and waited.

……

After a while, after the last hexagram master also arrived, a group of figures came scattered at the hanging flower door shaded by green trees outside the hall.

When they saw the leader, a group of hexagram masters couldn't help but their eyes lit up, but they saw that the person walking in front was a graceful and dignified middle-aged beautiful woman.

Dark purple robes, skirts dragging the floor, excellent figure, outstanding appearance, although it is a woman's hair bun, but the years seem to have left no traces on her face, instead adding a charm that is different from that of a girl Come.

While walking, the hands are folded into the sleeves, and a golden step in the bun is swaying brightly, and the shaking is extremely small-this is the gait that can only be developed by the rich people who have been disciplined for many years.

Beside the beautiful woman, half a step behind is the gentle and dignified, sweet and hidden second lady, Pei Qiuwei.

Obviously, this beautiful woman is the mistress of the Pei family.

"Pindao has seen Madam." First, a divination master stood up to greet her.

Seeing this, the rest of the group of colleagues also stood up and saluted. Only Zhou Banxian just opened his eyelids and nodded slightly, but he didn't move.

Just as he was complacent, he caught a glimpse of the young man sitting directly across from him who also didn't get up, didn't even look out, but sipped his tea carefully.

Hiss...Zhou Banxian squinted his eyes and took a deep look at Ji Pingan. He didn't expect that this young man could pretend to be more aggressive than himself...a formidable opponent.

He snorted and closed his eyes again, as if Mistress Pei wasn't worth his glance.

Ji Pingan took a sip of tea, felt the gaze from the opposite side, and was stunned for a moment, and then he roughly guessed the latter's inner drama, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing:

How to say?Is a man a teenager until he dies... This damn desire to win.

"Masters, don't be too polite, please sit down and talk."

Mistress Pei smiled, her voice was gentle, and she was a little more magnetic than the daughter beside her, which made a group of hexagram masters tremble, their eyes lowered, and they bowed their hands in agreement.

This made the old and the young sitting quietly stand out from the crowd.

Mistress Pei was not too surprised by "Zhou Banxian"'s behavior, but when she looked at Ji Pingan, who was young but calm and peaceful, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Turning her head slightly, she glanced at Pei Qiuwei, said nothing, and the mother and daughter took the vacant seats.

Immediately, Mistress Pei sighed softly and said:
"All of you present here are experts in divination and connoisseurship in Yuhang City. It stands to reason that you should come to ask for advice, but my Pei family has some reputation after all, and gossip should always be avoided. Besides, things are not easy to describe, so I invite you. Come to the door, no matter whether you can give advice today, I, Mrs. Pei, will give it to you for a reward, and if anyone's explanation is effective, Mrs. Pei will reward you with a generous gift."

These words were very level, and immediately, the hexagram masters including Zhou Banxian were refreshed, and they felt comfortable all over, and the faint unhappiness in their hearts disappeared in smoke——

Of course, this was largely due to the fact that the speaker was a beautiful woman.

Ji Pingan didn't say a word, just waiting for the next article.

Sure enough, Zhou Banxian coughed lightly, and spoke first:
"Ma'am, please rest assured that the hexagram masters have their own rules, and Pindao still has some face in Yuhang City. Today's matter will not be spread outside this door. If anyone leaks it, there is no need for Mrs. Pei to take action." , Pindao will take care of it for me.”

It was said lightly and confidently.

The rest of the hexagram masters also hurriedly offered assurances. Obviously, in the circle of hexagram masters, Zhou Banxian undoubtedly took the top spot. Even if some people were dissatisfied, they were unwilling to conflict with them on the surface.

Ji Pingan thought it was quite interesting, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the silent Pei Qiuwei glanced over at some point, and was looking at him curiously.

It's just that most people attracted the attention of Mistress Pei, and didn't notice the exchange of eyes between the two young people.

"Master Zhou is serious," Madam Pei sighed:
"Actually, it's not really a secret. Sooner or later, it will spread. To tell you the truth, the purpose of inviting you here today is to divine my husband's whereabouts."

Patriarch Pei's whereabouts?

Hearing this, a group of hexagram masters were stunned.

Pei Qiuwei suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"The thing is like this. Earlier, there was news from Pei's Zhuangzi in Guang'an Mansion, saying that the Jianghu Gang in Zhongzhou, Juxian Village, disturbed the local peace and affected the family's property. My brother personally took people to take care of the matter. , it stands to reason that with my brother's martial arts and my Pei family's name, this matter is not difficult.

But I didn't want to, more than half a month ago, news came that he had fought with people from Jianghu and was seriously injured by accident... My father was worried about his brother's safety when he heard about this, so he rushed to Guang'an Mansion, and the original agreement was to pass the letter along the way. , but there was no reply for a long time.

I sent someone to inquire, only to learn that my elder brother had left Guang'an Mansion before my father arrived, and the two of them have lost track of each other and disappeared..."

She narrated what had happened, and said in a worried tone:
"Although my father and elder brother's cultivation level is not low, it is really disturbing to have no news like this. That's why I invited you to divine the whereabouts of the two."

There is such a thing... Hearing this, a group of hexagram masters were very surprised.

Ji Ping'an's heart skipped a beat, and he caught two key words:

"Memorized more than half a month ago" and "brother was seriously injured".

If we push forward, the time when the eldest son of the Pei family was injured was probably around the "return of the stars", the exact time is hard to say, and immediately after that, Patriarch Pei and him both disappeared.

If it was in the past, Ji Pingan would not think too much, and at most thought that it might be related to the grievances in the world, encountered trouble, or the two accidentally went astray and were looking for each other.

After all, it is ancient times, communication is inconvenient, and being unable to contact for a while does not mean that something has happened.

But after Zhu Xun's incident last night, he inevitably made associations:
"Xin Yaoguang said, pay attention to people who are resurrected from the dead. Is it possible that the eldest son of the Pei family has also been 'taken away'? He has become the body of a reborn person? After understanding the situation, and knowing that Patriarch Pei is coming soon, he was worried about revealing his secrets, and people close to him noticed something abnormal, so he left Zhuangzi in a hurry?"

"But how do you explain Patriarch Pei's disappearance? Is it to find the eldest son, or... there was a conflict between the two sides?"

Ji Pingan's thoughts fluctuated, only to hear a hexagram master said in surprise:

"It actually happened, but with Patriarch Pei and Eldest Young Master's cultivation base, nothing will happen. Maybe they went astray or got delayed somewhere."

"That's right, the Eldest Young Master is seven years old at such a young age, and Patriarch Pei is a martial artist, who can threaten him?" Another person also said.

Takeo Sijing is definitely a character who can walk sideways in the arena.

As long as you avoid the imperial court and a few big sects, as well as a few named hermit bigwigs, there is almost no threat.

It is at the upper level of the ecological chain of rivers and lakes.

However, Ji Ping'an was not optimistic. Although Wufu Sijing was strong, if his guess was true and he bumped into a reborn person, it would be normal for the car to overturn if he was unprepared.

Taking himself as an example, he only has the Po San Realm on the surface, but even if he puts aside the magic weapon hidden in the kit and is in a hurry, he still has a way to burst out with a combat power far beyond the Po San.

Don't underestimate the background of the veteran powerhouse.

It is not impossible for a martial artist sitting in a well to be killed by a broken seventh rebirth.

"What everyone said is that my mother is always worried, so I ask you to help." Pei Qiuwei said.

At the same time, she beckoned, and two maidservants walked in, each holding a tray.

On it, there are some close-fitting clothes, hair, and a note with the birth date written on it.

Later, more house slaves brought up the tools needed for divination.

Be prepared.

Seeing this, a group of hexagram masters were eager to try and did not panic.A middle-aged hexagram master looked around the crowd, clasped his fists and said:
"The poor will go first."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of horoscope, took out a pen and ink, and sketched on the paper with a serious expression.

After some operations, he scolded softly, and the ink stains were sprayed on the paper. He lowered his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly, and said unwillingly:

"I'm poor and not good at learning, think about it for a while."

As he spoke, he held the ink-stained paper and sat thinking hard.

Another hexagram master got up, picked up a tortoise shell, hit the ground with his palm, and flames were born out of thin air. He threw the tortoise shell in and muttered a word. After a while, the flame disappeared, and cracks appeared on the tortoise shell.

He looked at it for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, returned to his seat without saying anything.

Then came the third person...

fourth person...

Ji Pingan watched quietly, and found that these hexagram masters did have some skills, and they were not liars.

Although the cultivation base is not high, there are many tricks.

It's just that the results are pretty much the same, and there is no clear enlightenment.

Not surprisingly.Ji Ping'an believes that with the strength of the Pei family, it is very likely that the Taoist Sanqing Temple and even the star officials of the Onmyoji Academy have been invited to do divination before.

However, the Daoist system is complicated, and there may not be anyone who is good at this field in the Sanqing Temple.

As for the star officials, although they are good at it, the local Onmyoji Academy doesn't have any powerful characters. Divination is okay for mortals, but it's too difficult when it involves Sijing-level warriors, and it's understandable that the accuracy rate has dropped.

And with the defeat of a famous divination master, the mother and daughter Hua who sat in the main seat became more nervous and anxious, and the disappointment on their faces became more intense.

Finally, following the most famous Zhou Banxian, after repeated three divinations and failed, shaking his head and sighing to express his helplessness, the emotions of the two women fell to the bottom.

Now, even the few remaining hexagram masters who hadn't made a move dared not make a move.

In their view, even Zhou Banxian is not good enough, and they have no confidence.

"Ma'am, miss," Zhou Banxian looked weak, and obviously forcibly performed Taoism three times, which seriously drained his mind. At this moment, he sighed, cupped his hands and said:

"Patriarch Pei and the Eldest Young Master are hard-nosed, and their cultivation base is quite high. It is difficult to spy on them, but now it seems to be involved in some kind of strange high-level interference. It is really..."

He shook his head and said nothing.

Ji Pingan took another look at him. In fact, he just secretly operated the "Da Yan Tian Ji Jue" and performed astrology several times.

Dimly in front of my eyes, I saw some pictures, but they were broken and unsystematic, and were frequently interrupted by mysterious forces.

This is exactly the same as the last divination of Zhu Xun.

Ji Ping'an suspected that the "interruption" force might be related to the "star fragments".

"This..." Hearing what the authoritative person said, the mother and daughter sitting in the main seat looked at each other, gloomy.

At this moment, deep worry appeared in the eyes of the elegant and dignified beautiful woman. Although Pei Qiuwei forcibly maintained his composure, his biting of his lips still revealed the anxiety in his heart.

Although the number one talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River has a great reputation, it is her father and elder brother who really support a big family.

As for Pei Qian, don't mention it.

Just now he was able to maintain his elegance and composure, but at this moment, he was sure that his father and brother were involved in high-level incidents, how could he not care?Pei Qiuwei was apprehensive, and suddenly, by mistake, he looked at Ji Pingan and said:
"Mr. Li, would you like to try?"

he?A group of hexagram masters looked over and shook their heads. As a profession of hexagram masters, the older they get, the stronger they become. Even if this young man is a disciple of a master, there is no reason why he should be stronger than all of them.

But they are all human beings, and no one will say strange things at this time, which will only make Pei dissatisfied.

The beautiful woman in a purple long dress and a gold step shaker also looked over, surprised by her daughter calling her name.

"For me, it's not necessary." Ji Pingan smiled and shook his head lightly.

Pei Qiuwei's eyes were gloomy, and immediately, Ji Pingan slowly threw out the next sentence:
"What I can see is very limited. I only saw a coffin and the remains of the strong."

hum!
After the words fell, the originally noisy hall fell silent, and a group of hexagram masters turned pale with shock, and all looked at him with lunatic eyes.

The coffin... the strong man's mutilated body... These words are obviously saying that Patriarch Pei is dead... Not to mention that you didn't even get a hexagram, even if you sensed the "bad omen", you can't say that.

Zhou Banxian stepped back subconsciously, wanting to stay away from this lunatic, but don't wait for Pei's anger to bleed his face...

However, to everyone's surprise, after hearing these words, the faces of Mistress Pei and the Second Miss changed at the same time, but it was not anger, but shock and... dignified!
That demeanor, as if some secret had been revealed!
"Master Li...can you be more specific?" The mistress of the Pei family supported the table and stood up suddenly, her plump body could not maintain her dignity and elegance.

The title she said was also changed to "Master".

Pei Qiuwei stared at him intently, wanting to see if Ji Pingan really counted something, or if he hit him by mistake.

However, Ji Ping'an only looked indifferent, and if he had any deep meaning, he said: "Do you really want me to be careful here?"

Madam Pei took a deep breath, woke up suddenly, turned her head to look at a group of hexagram masters with blank expressions, thought for a while, and squeezed out a smile on her face:
"Everyone has worked hard, please do a little more here. Later, a servant will give you a reward. My mother and daughter are temporarily absent."

Immediately, she looked at Ji Pingan again, and said:
"Master Li, can you go to the side hall for a talk?"

Ji Pingan nodded with a smile, got up and walked out of the hall with the two daughters, gradually walking away.

It wasn't until the three of them left that the rest of the hexagram masters came back to their senses. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"So, he really saw something?" After a long time, someone spoke.

Everyone was silent, realizing that this young and exaggerated colleague might be the master they needed to look up to.

Someone looked at Zhou Banxian, only to see that the latter was in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

……

……

Side hall.

After serving the tea, the servant girl retreated respectfully and closed the door.

In the whole room, only Ji Ping'an and Patriarch Pei's wife and daughter were left.

At this time, Pei Qiuwei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said anxiously:
"Can you make it clear now?"

Pei's mistress "Li Xiangjun" no longer has the graceful posture of a woman, her body leans forward, and her face shows weakness and longing.

Ji Pingan glanced at the mother and daughter, sighed softly, and said seriously:

"There are too many people just now, so it's really hard to say some things. Although I can't see clearly the whereabouts of Patriarch Pei, I do have some ideas."

Pei Qiuwei said calmly:

"I've never heard of it. Some Taoists can see coffins and remnants through divination. You know something, right?"

Clever... Ji Pingan nodded approvingly:

"Since you know that I have helped Honggu, you should know that I have learned about the killing of the escort team. Unfortunately, according to the hexagrams, there is some connection between this matter and the Pei family."

The faces of Pei's mother and daughter changed and they remained silent.

Ji Pingan continued:
"And also based on the hexagrams, I see that this matter is related to the Four Sages, and just this morning, I heard that the Four Sages were destroyed by the government last night."

The Four Saints... Pei Qiuwei's eyes moved. As a local snake, of course Mrs. Pei knew what happened last night:

"You mean, according to the hexagram, the disappearance of my father and brother is related to the Four Sages?"

No, I didn't say...you made it up... Ji Ping'an complained in his heart, but he couldn't say that your brother might have turned into some old monster who came back from the dead, and your father might have been killed.

I had to say:
"There is a possibility. As far as I know, the Four Saints believe in magicians, and the latter's personality is enough to prevent the investigation of divination. Of course, the premise is that the corpse in the coffin of the escort is indeed related to your Pei family. "

Hearing this, the mother and daughter fell silent, Li Xiangjun gave a wry smile and said:

"Sir, since he already knows about it, there is no need to hide it. This matter is indeed related to my eldest wife, Pei."

Ji Pingan said: "I would like to hear the details."

Pei Qiuwei glanced at his mother, and took the initiative to say:

"Actually, sir, you have already guessed a little bit. In the morning, you said that you knew that my relatives were ill by looking at my face. You didn't mean my father and brother."

Still testing me... Ji Pingan smiled, didn't care, and said:
"I just heard that the old Patriarch of the Pei family is still alive."

Pei Qiuwei sighed and said, "As expected, you guessed it."

The old Patriarch of the Pei family!
In fact, this name has rarely been mentioned, just because it has been out of public view for too long, but as long as you inquire a little, many people know it.

The 400 years of Pei's prosperity have not been without troughs.

In the middle, because of his younger brother's incompetence, his family was almost in decline. Fortunately, in that generation, Pei's family produced a martial arts lunatic.

Originally, he was only a descendant of Sanfang, without the right to inherit. He was obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and even seemed a little stupid.

No one cares.

When he grew up a little bit, he was sent to Sanfang to be trained in the martial arts school. Later, when the internal struggles of the Pei family became fierce, and internal and external troubles arose, the martial lunatic came back from his studies and had already advanced to the realm of sitting in the well.

And the wisdom has been opened, and immediately turned the tide with martial arts strength, ascended to the position of Patriarch, and only then did the family's second rejuvenation.

It's a pity that after he became the head of the family, he was not interested in managing the property. He was still obsessed with martial arts and tried to break into the sky-watching realm, but failed again and again. Later, he became more mad and almost died suddenly.

Fortunately, the Grand Master of Zhou happened to pass by Yuhang at that time, and rescued him, only to save his life.

And recast the body under the guidance of the national teacher, but also fell to the root of the disease, "epilepsy" attack from time to time, coupled with the gradual aging, life expectancy is not long, so the position of Patriarch was passed on.

He also proclaimed himself in Pei's old house, and never took a step forward, so that outsiders gradually forgot about the old owner in the past ten years.

If there is no funeral, it is assumed that the person is dead.

Pei Qiuwei said sadly:

"This matter is indeed related to my grandfather. Over the years, my grandfather has sealed himself in the house and tried to break through the situation again and again, but he has never been successful. His life essence is also drying up day by day. As he gets older, his epilepsy is difficult to suppress. Sometimes even Those of us younger generations don't know... Father is a son of man, and his heart is suffering, and he has been searching for ways to cure diseases and prolong life.

It wasn't until about a year ago that I got news about the magician's body, and secretly sent people to investigate, and finally bought the body from a merchant in Donghai Prefecture. All the way to Lanzhou.

The original idea was that after he entered Lanzhou, his father would pick it up in person, but he couldn't go there because of his elder brother's affairs, but he didn't want to. "

really.

Ji Ping'an wasn't surprised. After knowing that Pei's was the buyer, he had some guesses.

After all, Patriarch Pei is in the prime of life, and it is far from the time to consider prolonging his life. According to his calculations, the Patriarch of the old Patriarch is about to die.

"Although Patriarch Pei has left, there are quite a few masters in the clan, right? Why didn't you go to meet him?" Ji Pingan asked curiously.

Pei Qiuwei said bitterly:

"There are indeed many masters in the clan, but it's not just in my eldest room. The other uncles are raising warriors. If my mother and I gather masters, they will definitely be targeted. Uncles are likely to intervene..."

She didn't say the rest, but Ji Ping'an already understood.

It was nothing more than a power struggle. The old patriarch was not a "long house" back then. Although he tried his best to turn the tide and took the position of patriarch, his reputation was not right after all.

How can the rest of the houses be convinced?

Patriarch Pei disappeared, and the rest of the uncles were probably happy to see it happen, and felt that there was a chance to seize power, so they would definitely not want to let the old Patriarch continue to prolong his life.

Therefore, this matter can only be done secretly.

Ji Pingan shook his head and said:
"From this point of view, there may be some connection between the Four Sages, the remains of the magician, and the disappearance of Patriarch Pei. The way of divination has been blocked, but you can still investigate the case itself. You may be able to get in touch with the demon master. Start with the Four Sages."

As a local snake, the Pei family can mobilize more power than the dark net.

If Ji Pingan wanted to fish in the pond in Yuhang, he had to muddy the water and bring the Pei family into it. This would not only attack the Four Sacred Sects and bring their remaining forces to the surface, but also force the possible The eldest son who became a "reborn" appeared.

For Ji Ping'an, this is beneficial and harmless.

Hearing this, the mother and daughter's eyes lit up, and hope was rekindled. They are not afraid of difficulties, but most afraid of not having direction and ideas.

Li Xiangjun showed gratitude:

"Thank you for your advice, sir. If you can find your husband, my mother and daughter will thank you generously."

As he said that, he got up and gave a gentle blessing. The majestic Pei's mistress, who is almost a queen-level figure in Yuhang, actually respects this young man so much.

If this scene spreads out, I don't know how many jaws will drop.

However, Ji Ping'an's eyes fell on Li Xiangjun's white and tender neck. To be precise, it was on the lanyard of a pendant, and his eyes moved slightly.

So, is the token I left to the Pei family hanging on her body?
It's a pity, if it's in the hands of Patriarch Pei, Ji Ping'an can still try to locate Patriarch Pei's location using the white jade plate.

But now, probably only Li Xiangjun's bedroom can be located.

And at this moment, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the voice of a servant girl:

"lady……"

Li Xiangjun was stunned, stood up hurriedly, straightened his clothes, suppressed his excited expression, and restored his mistress's appearance:

"Enter."

The door opened, and a maid was about to speak, but she couldn't help being surprised when she saw that there was a man in the room.

You know, in this era of men and women's great defense, men and women must at least open the door to avoid suspicion.

Seeing her faltering, Li Xiangjun's face darkened, and he said lightly:
"There's no need to shy away, just say what you have to say."

Seeing this, the servant girl had no choice but to say:
"It's the old Patriarch. He seems to be losing his temper again. All the food brought over has been overturned. Go and have a look."

"Father, he's insane again..." Li Xiangjun's face paled, he said half of the sentence, and then swallowed it abruptly.

However, Ji Ping'an already understood that the so-called "lost temper" was obviously a beautified term.

But it looked like that madman Wu really had a short lifespan, and it was already difficult to suppress the madman, no wonder he wanted to find the remains of a magician for treatment.

Pei Qiuwei sighed, and said to Ji Pingan:
"Please take a rest, sir. My mother and I will go to see grandfather, and then come back to talk with him."

Ji Pingan suddenly said, "If it's convenient, how about I deliver the meal?"

Seeing the mother and daughter looking surprised, he smiled and said:
"Didn't it mean that when the old Patriarch lost his temper, even you juniors didn't recognize it? So, it doesn't make much sense for you to go in the past, it's just to appease one or two. But this madness, I have to deal with it way."

After a pause, he added: "Madam, you don't want the old Patriarch to suffer from a serious illness, do you?"

Pei Qiuwei was surprised and said, "Sir, do you still know medicine?"

Ji Pingan laughed and said, "Don't you hear that medicine doesn't separate families?"

This is true, Taoist priests and monks who travel the rivers and lakes these days, more or less have some medical skills.

It's just that Pei Qiuwei obviously doesn't think he can cure his grandfather, but is curious about Ji Ping'an's request, wondering what his purpose is.

Is it simply wanting to pay homage to the former Patriarch?
Curious?Or the benevolence of doctors?Or something else?
Just when Pei Qiuwei's little head was spinning wildly, Li Xiangjun had already spoken:
"If you don't mind, sir, you can give it a try."

Her idea is simple:
Anyway, my father is already like that, and I don't worry about this person, and with Ji Ping'an's high personality, maybe... there is really a solution.

Pei Qiuwei sighed, knowing that her mother had rushed to the doctor in a hurry, but she didn't say anything.

……

The place where the old Patriarch lives is very remote, and it is a yard away from people in the northwest corner of the house.

In the distance, across the courtyard wall, you can see a towering pavilion inside, which is Tide Tide Pavilion.

Standing outside the closed courtyard door, Ji Pingan raised his hand to take the food box handed over by the servants, smiled at the mother and daughter who were waiting behind him, pushed the door and walked in.

Pei Qiuwei couldn't help but said: "Be careful, don't come within ten feet of my grandfather, otherwise it will be dangerous."

How terrifying is the destructive power of a crazy old warrior who is only one step away from the sky-gazing realm?That's what practitioners of all sects would frown on.

"I know." Ji Pingan waved his hand and walked into it.

When the gate of the courtyard was closed, he walked along the path covered with grass leaves, passed through the desolate and quiet rockery, and after turning a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up.

I saw a small lake located in the center of the courtyard, and the three-story wooden tidal listening pavilion was built next to it.

But I looked around, but there was no one there.

The breeze blew past, Ji Ping'an's green shirt shook, the smile on his face disappeared, and turned into indifference. The next moment, he exhaled and said:
"Pei Wuju, come out and meet me!"
