Chapter 515: Luling Old Case, Past Events Reappear (asking for monthly tickets)
"Uh, so you're really not a spooky servant?"

"You are the Weird Servant, your whole family is Weird Servant-meow!"

"But you just admitted that you are the Golden Eyed White Tiger..."

"How would I know you were asking about this White Tiger?!"

"So which one do you think it is?"

"...I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

On the island in the middle of the lake, Alice scratched the ground hard, angry and humiliated, as if she wanted to vent all her hatred.

You...are you really a human, not a monster? I always thought you were a cat...

Xu Shu thought somewhat disinterestedly.

Finally, he glanced at Alice's posture and said, "Stop digging the soil. Are you going to shit here? After all, this is Liu Yuan's grave. Even if you don't say that he was a good friend of the archbishop, please be polite to the deceased."

Alice: “?”

...Ahhh, I'm so mad!
She sat aside with her front legs crossed over her chest, like a normal person, silent and angry.

Seeing this, Xu Shu touched his chin and said, "Oh, it seems that I guessed wrong? Hiss... How could it be? This shouldn't be..."

"What guess was wrong?" Alice wanted to ignore him, but she was so curious that she couldn't help asking.

Xu Shu said: "Actually, the thing is this. Didn't the archbishop tell you not to come to Luling Terrace? Then I was looking for the reason. As a result, I found that many things were related, such as the ghost of the Jingwang Mansion, the white tiger of the Tiger Head Brand, and the underground tomb of the Liu family..."

He organized his words and told Alice all the information and clues he had known in the past, obtained recently, and confirmed.

In Xu Shu's opinion, as the only "descendant" of Yu Mingluan, Alice must have an inseparable relationship with this place, and naturally has the qualification and obligation to understand the reasons.

Ten minutes later.

Xu Shu sighed and said, "Alas, what a pity. Now it seems that I was wrong. You are not a ghost servant, so you are not a golden-eyed white tiger. Come to think of it, a golden-eyed white tiger is a white tiger after all. How can you, a ginger cat, be associated with a white tiger?"

After listening to Xu Shu's explanation, Alice held her chin up and rolled her eyes secretly, saying, "I understand what you said. So, is there a possibility that I am actually the blood of this Liu family? In other words, this Liu Yuan... may be my biological father?"

"Hehe, do you really think I'm stupid? I may have considered what you said at the beginning, but I ruled it out." Xu Shu said.

"Ah? Why? What's wrong with my guess? Or is there some key information you didn't tell me?" Alice was at a loss. For a moment, she only felt a bright light flashing in Xu Shu's eyes. He was like a rare wise man in the world. She subconsciously believed it a little.

Xu Shu smiled slightly and said confidently, "It's very simple, because your last name is not Liu, but Yu! You mentioned your real name to me at the beginning, have you forgotten it? Your name is Yu something tape... Oh, Yu tapeworm?"

“…It’s Yu Sitao, meow!”

Alice jumped up angrily and hit Xu Shu's knee hard.

Then he continued, "I told you before, Lao Yu is not my biological father. My memory was damaged when I was a child, and he never told me about my original family situation, but according to the current situation, it seems that this person in front of me... may really be my biological father, alas."

Having said that, Alice sighed, piled some soil in front of the grave with her two front paws, and then bowed quite seriously, acting like a filial son and grandson.

Xu Shu looked at her from the side and asked in confusion, "Are you so careless in recognizing your relatives? What if you make a mistake?"

"There's no mistake. In fact, I wanted to tell you from the beginning. Just now, I felt that this place made me feel a little special. I felt my heart throbbing, as if something was resonating with me. You know, for middle-sequence transcendents like us, the throbbing in our hearts will never come out of nowhere. I think it's this special blood connection." Alice said.

Xu Shu was quite surprised: "No way, he is burned to ashes and still has blood connection?"

"I told you it's a mysterious area!" Alice rolled her eyes at Xu Shu, "Also, think carefully about the meaning of my name?"

"..." Xu Shu's expression froze, and he said seriously, "You know me. I don't like to beat around the bush. I like to be straightforward. Just say whatever you want to say."

Alice had guessed this would happen, and did not expose it, but sighed softly: "A jasper is dressed up as a tall tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. Lao Yu... he should have named me after my bloodline family's surname. Although he never told me the past, perhaps he also had a wish that I would not forget my original identity."

As she spoke, she knelt solemnly three times, then stretched out her sharp little claws and quickly carved many more words on the tombstone, which originally had only one line of words.

First, the word "late father" was added to the left side of "Old Friend of Luling", and then below it was "Filial Daughter Liu Mianmian", and in the lower right corner it was written "Re-established in 2143 of the old calendar/19 of the new calendar", and under the seat were written solemn words such as "Shone by the stars, blessed by the goddess".

It looks like the burial ceremony process of the Starry Church.

Once these fonts were added, although at first glance they looked a bit out of place and inconsistent with ancient rituals, the beautiful, neat and dense handwriting made the tombstone, which originally had only a single line of words, appear much more lively, as if it had come alive.

Unfortunately, what seems to have come to life is just the tombstone, not the tomb owner himself.

After finishing all this, Alice clapped her paws in satisfaction, stood up and said, "That's almost it."

Xu Shu looked at him in surprise and asked, "Liu Mianmian...is this your real name?"

Alice tilted her head and said, "It seems so."

"What does it mean?"

"It seems like it, I just can't remember it clearly, but it's vaguely this. Of course, this is not important, because this name will remain here forever and will not be used in the future."

"You're still quite open-minded, aren't you?" Xu Shu exclaimed in amazement.

"Of course. May his soul rest in peace in God's kingdom..." Alice clasped her hands together and prayed earnestly.

Xu Shu shook his head and laughed.

He thought that Alice would cry and swear in front of the grave, saying something like "The hatred for my father's murder is irreconcilable, and I must kill Voodoo in this life to repay his kindness."

Unexpectedly, she was much more open-minded than I thought.

"Uh, Prince Jing's Mansion..."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu suddenly remembered two things.

When she first entered Penglai and passed by the Palace of Prince Jing, Alice did not recite the requiem spell of "Learning without thinking means death" according to local rules, which attracted a large number of "ghosts" to lie on the window and stare at her.

However, when he went to Prince Jing's Mansion later, even though he did not chant the spell to attract the attention of the ghosts, the severity was far less serious than the first time.

It was clear that the problem was with Alice.

The special attitude of these minions towards Alice, combined with the tragedy of the Jingwang Mansion and the destruction of the town, makes it easy to draw the answer.

The girl who was held hostage by the Killer Guimen was Alice!
The reason why those ghosts went so crazy was that they saw the aura of "the enemy's daughter" in her!

Hiss... So, when Liu Yuan faced the threat from his enemies, his final choice was to drive the golden-eyed white tiger to massacre the town...

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he understood everything in an instant. The look in his eyes as he looked at the tombstone in front of him suddenly became complicated.

He couldn't judge whether Liu Yuan did a good or bad job.

Because it's impossible to look at things like this from an impartial perspective.

If Liu Yuan is right, it's too far-fetched. How innocent are the 100,000 people in the Jing Palace? The life of your daughter, Director Liu, is life, but the lives of 100,000 civilians are not life?

But did he do something wrong? As a father, it was only natural for him to do this when his own daughter fell into the hands of the enemy.

All I can say is that as a father, his choice was not a problem; but as the director of a place, he was obviously too selfish.

This is what is called the difficulty of having both loyalty and righteousness since ancient times!
If we put ourselves in his shoes, if it was me who faced this difficult problem at that time, would I be able to do better than Liu Yuan?
Not necessarily! However, I would most likely choose to hand over the "Seven Treasures Lotus" first, exchange my daughter back, and then kill all the enemies to vent my anger... Well, it seems too naive to think so. The enemy may not release me after getting the treasure. Most likely, they will continue to make further demands, such as letting Liu Yuan slaughter the whole village in order to make Huo Xiu's reputation ruined. Otherwise, they will not release me.

So this is basically a death proposition.

Alas, it is indeed difficult to judge the right and wrong and the merits and demerits of the past. Moreover, we cannot think that good people are unforgivable just because they are bullied to the point of making unwise choices. The real problem lies with the group of people who do evil.

So the root cause of this tragedy... is actually strength!
After all, Liu Yuan was still too weak, so once the news was released, the Killing Ghost Gate dared to use this method to threaten him.

With his ability, holding the "Seven Treasures Lotus" in his hand, it would be like a child carrying a thousand gold coins through a busy market, and he would be envied and robbed. This is bullying him because he is weak! Bullying him because he has no ability!

Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s just talk about the Liu tragedy itself, who was at fault?

The Killing Ghost Sect has been destroyed by Yu Mingluan, and Liu Yuan, who committed the mistake of massacring the village, has paid the price with blood, but the culprit from that year is still at large.

who is it?

Yes, that's voodoo.

All these disputes and disputes were caused by him!

“…How could this damn voodoo be so evil! If I don’t kill this villain, my heart of Taoism will never be enlightened ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

Xu Shu roared fiercely in his heart.

"Strange, this is not your father, why do you look even angrier and more upset than Meow?" Alice looked at Xu Shu blankly, puzzled.

"I can empathize with our father's frustrated life." Xu Shu said casually.

"Hmm!" Alice blushed, "Who, who is with you and our father!"

"Oh, that's just my facial nerves being distorted occasionally. Don't mind me, we 'Hercules' are like this." Xu Shu was a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "By the way, according to the current situation, the Seven Treasures Lotus may have been taken away by the Archbishop. Do you have any idea about this treasure?"

"Never heard of it. What does it look like?" Alice asked.

"Forehead……"

This question stumped Xu Shu.

Fortunately, he has always been open-minded. Without saying anything, he opened the upgraded network and asked Xiaoya, "What does the Seven Treasures Lotus look like? Send me a picture."

Then Xiaoya was also stumped.

She had never seen this treasure!
"Sigh~"

Xu Shu took a deep breath on the spot and thought, if you haven't seen it before, why don't you just go around everywhere? When the treasure mountain is right in front of you, if you can't recognize it, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding and Voodoo would get an advantage for nothing?
Fortunately, Xiaoya dispelled his doubts.

According to Xiaoya, although she had never seen the "Seven Treasures Lotus", this thing has seven-colored precious light and creates a colorful light pollution. Once it appears, there is no possibility of being ignored or missed.

Xu Shu didn't know whether what she said was reliable or not, so he could only take it as the truth.

To be on the safe side, although the voodoo was not found in the White Tiger Cave and should not be here, Xu Shu still turned the entire cave upside down but found nothing.

After making sure there were no traps under the water, Xu Shu thought carefully and finally decided to dig open Liu Yuan's tomb, take out the empty treasure chest that had been thrown in, and put it into the storage bag.

This left Liu Yuan's daughter Liu Mianmian stunned.

However, Xu Shu's reason was very simple. This was called foolproof. Maybe Voodoo had never seen the "Seven Treasures Lotus" and missed the treasure mountain without knowing it!
At that moment, after finishing everything, Xu Shu looked at the time.

He had been keeping a tight schedule, and now it had come to the final point in time when "the man from the treacherous world encountered the fourth on the human list, tried his best but could not defeat him, and was killed in a battle."

If it was a few minutes later, he didn't know if there would be people called by Voodoo behind this place - it was said that the other party didn't dare to confront the forces of the Judgment Department head-on, but he didn't bring anyone with him, just in case.

In order to avoid any accidents, Xu Shu made a prompt decision and grabbed Alice again and rubbed her coccyx.

After merging into one, Xu Shu arrived at the entrance of the White Tiger Cave. He twisted his waist and used the method of "wearing nine and stepping on one" to pass through the light wall covered with strange gold characters.

There were no accidents with the professional Jiuyi God today.

With a whoosh, Xu Shu successfully returned to the underground palace where the dark river was rushing.

"It's about time to go back. With the Voodoo Core, Xiaoya should be able to speed up the work of tracking down his true body."

Xu Shu muttered to himself, looking back at the golden words that were dissipating, like a white tiger cave that was slowly closing.

"...Um, isn't this font different from when I came in?"

Xu Shu stared at the words on the inner wall, but unfortunately he couldn't recognize them.

After a little thought, he immediately turned on the upgraded "Eye Without Pupil" camera, spent 10 contribution points, took a photo and sent it to Xiaoya, asking this "child prodigy" in stage three to help him translate it.

After a while, Xiaoya sent a question mark.

"What is this? A lot of '丿' and ' and so on. Is it oracle bone script? I don't understand. Where are you?" Xiaoya asked.

Doesn’t she understand either?
Xu Shu was slightly surprised and guessed that maybe he took the photo too late and the golden tadpoles that made up the characters had already separated.

He didn't think much about it and explained: "This is called the 'Golden White Tiger Formation'. At the beginning, it was a stomach and a mouth."

"Kuilouweimaobishengzi?" Xiaoya said.

Xu Shu's eyes lit up: "Oh, yes, yes, that's it."

"Oh my god, it's the White Tiger Lodge corresponding to the Wusheng Xuanmen! Let me see where you are! The Seven Treasures Lotus is likely in there!"

[Hint: Your friend "吃个桃桃" has sent a request to form a team. Do you accept it? ]

【You rejected the friend request. 】

"?"

"Why refuse?"

"Speak up, Brother Xu Shu!"

"We agreed to split it 70% and 30% of the money. You don't want to keep it all for yourself, do you?"

“No! You can’t do this! You can’t f*cking do this~”

Xiaoya sent a lot of messages, and added many cute crying emoticons.

However, Xu Shu had already posted another photo, which showed Liu Yuan’s grave with the opened treasure chest next to it.

"I haven't found it. Voodoo has been here, and now I suspect the thing may be missing."

Xu Shu explained everything, and then without further delay, he immediately picked a direction and left the underground palace.

In a corner that no one cared about, the blood words on the inner wall of the White Tiger Cave were slowly gathering and swimming, like boiling petals, swimming from all directions to the center of the island in the middle of the lake, and finally gathered into a pool, showing a strange color.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
A sound like a heartbeat began to sound rhythmically under the pavilion in the middle of the lake. A wisp of blood wandered around, but it seemed that it could not find a foothold, so it spread rapidly along the ground.

……

now.

Xu Shu walked out of the Liu clan ancestral hall.

He first walked around the ancestral hall to check, and after confirming that no traces were left, he returned to the Lulingtai station along the way.

What's interesting is that there is a large group of people here who are obviously from the Hong family. They are wearing tight black or red robes, and there are probably about 40 to 50 of them. They got off the train that just left and are gathering together, causing passers-by around them to avoid them in surprise and fear.

One of them had beautiful blond hair and a graceful figure, and it was Hong Yan.

She had actually returned, bringing a large group of the Hong family back to Luling Terrace.

Looking at the murderous looks on these people's faces, they look like they are here to seek revenge!
