One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 607 Bewitching
"Our Luo family has already sent people to deal a fatal blow to the Xu family head and his wife. I will not make any excuses for this, and I accept the punishment given by the company without any complaints."
However, comrades, even after removing the contaminated parts and replacing them with purified parts, the water-suppressing divine beast guarded by our Luo family is still not free from continuous contamination.
Previously, the female ghost had dragged so many people to their deaths in the river, yet the overwhelming resentment was always suppressed at the bottom of the water. Part of the reason was that our Luo family would continuously clear away the resentment, but the bigger reason was the protection of the water-suppressing divine beast.
As the pollution of the water-suppressing mythical beast worsened, the area of the river it could protect continued to shrink until today.
The resentment surged out of the river and began to spread, and the water-suppressing beast was powerless to suppress it.
Comrades, I believe you are already aware of what the water-suppressing beast means to Dujiangyan and the Xichuan region. The Luo family can die, but the water-suppressing beast must not be harmed..."
The head of the Luo family entered the reception room, but didn't even sit down. He simply walked up to Wu Xie and Chen Tian, adopting an extremely humble posture. He even fully admitted to the sinful scheme that had harmed the Xu family.
It must be said that the Luo family head's strategy of retreating to advance was quite successful.
Chen Tian and Wu Xie also knew that before the matter of the water-suppressing divine beast was completely resolved, they could not punish the crimes committed by the four extraordinary families for the time being.
"Patriarch Luo, this corpse is the corpse of the female ghost from the river. She was indeed a member of the Luo family in life, there is no mistake about that."
The water-suppressing divine beast has begun to be silently corrupted. This must have happened a hundred years ago. Patriarch Luo should first find out the identity of the female ghost!
In a vision, I saw that the female ghost was offered to another group of people by the groom on her wedding day. The woman in red was brutally violated and died tragically, and was sealed in a dry well in the backyard.
After the woman in red's body was thrown into the dry well, a clear spring flowed out, granting the woman in red power and imprisoning her soul within her body. This caused the woman in red to kill the entire groom's family. Later, she went to the river and became a female ghost, constantly luring people to drown.
I noticed that the woman in red seemed to have forgotten this memory, repeatedly saying that her master was about to return.
I believe that the head of the Luo family has now realized that the corruption of the water-suppressing divine beast was a scheme against the five guardian families of extraordinary beings, which began a hundred years ago.
Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, apart from the Xu family, the other four families of extraordinary individuals chose to cover up the truth and even took the opportunity to divide and annex the Xu family.
All I can say is that the Luo family's current situation is all due to the sins you committed a hundred years ago.
Even in this dire situation, you still haven't stopped. After realizing that the guardian beast protecting the waters has been severely polluted, instead of trying to purify it yourself, you set your sights on the guardian beast beneath Tianfu Square.
It's a pity that you could so easily break through this scheme that has lasted for at least a century.
Therefore, the pollution of the water-suppressing mythical beast continues to worsen.
I would like to "congratulate" Patriarch Luo. Regardless of the purpose of the person behind all this, with your help, they will probably succeed soon!
Wu Xie's face was full of mockery.
Such a large and powerful family, passed down for thousands of years, has not only failed to promote the family of extraordinary people, but has instead relied on crooked and evil means to maintain the so-called glory of the family of extraordinary people.
This false glory is fake from the very beginning and can never become real.
They may enjoy immense glory for a time, but in the end, they will exhaust the fortune of the entire extraordinary family.
Regarding the matter of the water-suppressing mythical beast, Wu Xie even dared to assert that if the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had not intervened in the investigation, disaster would likely have befallen the entire Xichuan region.
The most innocent people, however, have to pay the price for the unforgivable mistakes committed by these extraordinary families!
"You aristocratic families have been high and mighty for too long, and have even forgotten the original purpose of protecting the water-suppressing divine beast. It was for the peace of the Xichuan region, for the ordinary people of the Xichuan region!"
"Having come to this point, Patriarch Luo, do you truly understand where you went wrong?"
If things hadn't been exposed, if Wu Xie and Chen Tian hadn't unveiled the facade of peace and tranquility, how could the Luo family head have willingly admitted to the sins they had committed?
The head of the Luo family was speechless.
He understood that what Wu Xie and Chen Tian said was true.
He couldn't argue.
As powerful and influential families, possessing the strength to protect the water-suppressing divine beast and unique bloodline power, how could they be willing to admit that they are no different from ordinary people?
Over the long years, they have long forgotten their original aspirations.
At the same time, reminded by Wu Xie, the head of the Luo family was working rapidly in his mind, carefully recalling the records of major events in the family of extraordinary people.
What exactly happened when the Luo family married off their daughter a hundred years ago?
Given the Luo family's status back then, how could they possibly marry off members so casually?
The current head of the Luo family succeeded to the position twenty years ago. Most of the tasks entrusted to him by the previous head of the family were related to the water-suppressing divine beast, or to the affairs of the other four extraordinary families.
He couldn't recall the previous head of the family ever mentioning the Luo family's daughter getting married.
Moreover, even if the Luo family daughter were to marry, she would certainly not come from an ordinary family. They have only a handful of in-law relationships, and there has never been a case of any of those families being wiped out.
According to Chen Tian and his group, the marriage of the Luo family girl was a scheme orchestrated by someone to make her die full of resentment and survive in the river.
No wonder the water-suppressing beast could only suppress this female ghost; the real reason was that the female ghost was a member of the Luo family!
The head of the Luo family smacked himself on the head a few times, suddenly remembering a page that had been torn out of the family tree.
Originally, the torn-up family tree should have been discarded, but for some reason, the person who tore it up folded the page and tucked it inside the family tree.
Only the head of the family and the elders of the clan can read the genealogy, and it is generally not read by anyone. So far, only the head of the Luo family has discovered that a page has been torn out.
"I know who the female ghost is!"
The head of the Luo family spoke in a hoarse voice, unsure how to explain.
"It happened about 130 years ago. The eldest daughter of the Luo family secretly pledged her life to a man from a humble family. The Luo family disagreed, but the young lady chose love, betrayed the family of extraordinary people, and married that man."
On their wedding day, something unexpected happened: the groom's entire family was murdered, and even the eldest daughter of the Luo family disappeared.
After all, she was his own biological daughter. The former head of the family tore out a page from the family tree concerning his daughter and wrote down the account of her death on her wedding night…
How could the eldest daughter of the Luo family suddenly fall in love with a man and even betray the family of supernatural beings?
It turns out that the conspiracy had already begun back then.
Unfortunately, later generations were unaware of this matter, as it was considered extremely shameful by the Luo family, and even the name of this direct descendant was erased from the family genealogy.
The head of the Luo family's voice trembled as he understood everything, and boundless anger welled up in his heart.
He clenched his fists tightly. Who was behind all this conspiracy?
"As expected, since this female ghost is a direct descendant of the Luo family, the head of the Luo family should know her name."
Tonight, we'll go to the riverbank, call her name, and try to awaken her memory so that we can find out from her who's behind it all.
Patriarch Luo, you should understand that now that the female ghost's soul has been forcibly expelled from her body by us using the blood of the Luo family, the large amount of resentment stored in her soul will spread rapidly in the river.
The Luo family's water-suppressing beast must be purified as soon as possible. I believe the Luo family head knows how to purify the water-suppressing beast!
Wu Xie stared intently into the eyes of the Luo family head as he uttered these last words, his expression serious. What the Xu family could do back then, the other four families of extraordinary individuals could also do. It's just that they were too concerned with gains and losses, and dragged it out until now. The price they would have to pay to purify the polluted water-suppressing beast was even higher than what the Xu family had paid back then.
Whether the person behind all this will successfully purify the water-suppressing beast remains to be seen.
The man in black robes escaped. Wu Xie believed that he couldn't have gone far and was definitely hiding in the shadows, monitoring the actions of the Luo family and Wu Xie.
In Wu Xie and Chen Tian's minds, the Luo family was a huge lure to be used to draw out the person behind the scenes.
How could the head of the Luo family not understand the hidden meaning in Wu Xie's words?
However, he was still hesitant.
"Patriarch, what exactly are you hesitating about?"
Luo Qing sat on the ground, remaining silent ever since the Luo family head entered. Having learned so many secrets in such a short time, he glanced at the Luo family head, then at Wu Xie and Chen Tian.
He, as a member of the Luo family, knew nothing about so many secrets, while the people of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had already investigated them thoroughly.
In fact, not much time has passed since the torrential rain in Xichuan District.
From their conversation, Luo Qing vaguely sensed that the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau were not only targeting the Luo family.
Besides the Xu family, which has already been eliminated, the other three families of extraordinary individuals have probably already been targeted by the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Seeing that the patriarch remained silent and deep in thought, Luo Qing finally lost his temper and shouted loudly at the patriarch.
"Luo Qing, what do you mean by this?"
Luo Qing's roar startled the Luo family head from his reverie. He looked at Luo Qing with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that these words actually came from Luo Qing's mouth.
"Master, Comrades Wu Xie and Chen Tian are from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau."
Seeing that the patriarch was still pondering and didn't even understand his direct urging, Luo Qing grew anxious and decided to ignore it and point it out directly. Otherwise, he suspected that the patriarch had already forgotten about it.
That's right.
The two people in front of him were not from powerful families with whom he could discuss interests or cooperation, but rather members of an official department.
Before he knew it, the back of the Luo family head was soaked with cold sweat, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.
However, thinking about the price that would be required to purify the current water-suppressing divine beast, Patriarch Luo still couldn't help but hesitate.
"Comrades, I understand what you mean. Let's go to the river first and retrieve that young lady's soul."
"Furthermore, I will immediately begin investigating that marriage from back then. However, due to the passage of time and the fact that Luo Shuxiang severed ties with the extraordinary family and has had no further contact with them, it's uncertain whether we will find any clues."
To find out who's behind this and why Luo Shuxiang is so obsessed with a man, there must be a lot of scheming involved.
The head of the Luo family wished that more information about Luo Shuxiang could have been written on the torn family tree.
Unfortunately, he had looked at that family tree countless times, but it only contained a few sentences on each side, nothing else.
Perhaps the head of the family was also heartbroken, which is why he ordered that no one in the Luo family should interfere with Luo Shuxiang anymore.
How could the Luo family have imagined that she would sever ties with the strange family and be humiliated and killed on her wedding night?
"Since Patriarch Luo says so, let's go to the river first!"
Knowing they couldn't push the Luo family head too far, Wu Xie and Chen Tian understood his decision and nodded in agreement.
Although Luo Qing had lost a lot of blood, as a member of the Luo family, his physical condition was naturally much better than that of ordinary people. Therefore, he insisted on going to the river with a strong attitude. Even when the head of the Luo family forbade him to go, he directly invoked his identity, saying that the director had sent him to coordinate with Wu Xie and Chen Tian's actions.
The head of the Luo family looked at Luo Qing with disgust, furious that Luo Qing hadn't stood by him at this crucial moment.
He is really angry!
Unfortunately, he couldn't vent his anger directly. In the end, the Luo family head could only snort coldly at Luo Qing before turning and walking away.
Whether it was a deliberate arrangement by the Luo family head or not, in the end only the Luo family head and Luo Qing went to the river, along with Wu Xie and Chen Tian.
Of the four, Luo Qing drove to the riverbank.
The dead fish on the river have been retrieved.
Since dead fish are tainted with resentment, they cannot be handled carelessly. They need to be burned in a strong fire, and the resentment must be removed during the burning process.
When Wu Xie and his group arrived, they saw trucks loading dead fish.
At this moment, the Luo family head and Luo Qing were completely focused on the female ghost in the river, so they did not pay attention to the truck carrying the dead fish.
Chen Tian was walking behind them when Wu Xie pulled him back.
"what happened?"
Caught off guard, Chen Tian was pulled, lost his footing, and swayed a couple of times before turning around to ask Wu Xie.
"Something seems off with the second truck. I'll go check it out. Keep an eye on the two from the Luo family!"
Wu Xie glanced at the truck and calmly gave his instructions.
Chen Tian didn't look over intentionally, but only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and his expression instantly became serious.
"The faint black aura is somewhat similar to the aura of the person who escaped, but it also seems to contain the aura of the Luo family. Be careful when you go to investigate!"
As he spoke, Chen Tian glanced at Luo Qing and the head of the Luo family who were walking ahead, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Did these two people know or not about what was happening over the truck next to them?
What role did the Luo family play in all of this?
It's alright, it's alright if they don't say anything now. After Wu Xie and Chen Tian investigate, the Luo family's retribution is still to come!
Thinking it over, Chen Tian took out his phone and quickly typed a message.
Chen Tian was stronger than Wu Xie, and since he had directly fought the shadowy figure, he was most sensitive to such auras. What Wu Xie didn't expect was that the aura of the Luo family was also present within it.
Has someone been misled?
He found it hard to believe that the Luo family head would choose to abandon the water-suppressing divine beast. (End of Chapter)
