You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 267: Family Extermination Case
"Is the Taoist priest here to exorcise the ghost?"

Ji Changhong from Ji Jian Villa was gentle and neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not show any fear at all.

Of course, if he hadn't been flashing over there continuously, he would have been more courageous.

Behind Ji Changhong, the evil spirits gathered together and had no intention of attacking. They all gathered behind him, screaming meaninglessly, but huddled together, looking both scary and cowardly.

Li Yunze whispered to Zuo Chen:
“Sometimes when I’m scared, my body keeps flashing.”

After hearing this, the owner of the manor could no longer hold back. He looked at Li Yunze twice more and found that he seemed to be the same as himself.

There was also an obvious expression of surprise on his face:

"A Taoist priest keeps ghosts around him? Yemao's way?"

"This is not my ghost," Zuo Chen coughed lightly, "He is just a travel companion I just met."

"The Taoist priest is not the kind of person who kills sneaky ghosts. If the Taoist priest really wanted to, those evil spirits behind you would have been smashed into powder when you entered the door." Caiyi supported Zuo Chen.

Ji Changhong did not comment.

"We have no ill intentions." Zuo Chen said, "I saw the mountain was filled with ghosts when I was at the foot of the mountain, so I thought of coming up to take a look. I never expected that... there would only be ghosts in this room."

Hearing this, Ji Changhong finally couldn't help but sigh:
"We never thought that the thief would be so cruel... He actually killed all the people in Jijian Villa and trapped us here with the soul-trapping method."

Ji Changhong stood up, as if he wanted to take a few people away. Zuo Chen and his group stood up and followed him.

Soon they arrived at the source of the stench in the entire villa.

Others could not feel it, but in Zuo Chen's Qi-observing technique, the strong Qi of the corpse was like a wall, rushing out from the yard.

That was a backyard, and the head master couldn't open the door, so Caiyi helped him push it.

After opening the door, what came into view was a yard full of corpses, most of which had decayed, revealing their withered internal organs and bones.

The corpses were neatly placed on the ground like trophies, covering the entire yard.

There are three rows in total, with ten people in the first two rows and three people in the third row.

The master's body seemed to be hit by a hammer, and his body became dazed.

As a sneaky ghost, I have no tears left, but I still sigh and groan.

"More than 20 people from my Jijian Villa were attacked and killed, and were also tragically sealed off. They couldn't leave at all. I dared not tell Xiaoyu about such a great hatred, for fear that she would be sad."

Ji Changhong finally told Zuo Chen and others what happened at Ji Jian Villa.

……

Jijian Villa has always had a sword technique left by an ancient immortal called "Breaking the Four Seasons".

This is an extremely powerful method. It is said that if one practices it to the highest level, one can cut off the years. With one swing of the sword one can skip spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The name of Jijian Villa also comes from here.

The wanderers in the villa certainly cannot "cut off the four seasons for a thousand years". This method only exists in legends. Even the grandmaster who picked up the ancient fairy method could not use this method at all.

After all, the immortal methods are stronger than most ordinary powers, and Ji Jian Villa soon became famous in the world.

only……

A common man who possesses a jade is guilty.

Coincidentally, the origin of the disaster at Ji Jian Villa was related to the ghost disaster that came from Kyoto.

More than ten years ago, the young Ji Changhong went down the mountain to gain experience in the martial arts world.

He was traveling from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, but unfortunately, he was unlucky and happened to encounter the Kyoto ghost disaster.

Ji Changhong didn't think he could defeat that group of crazy cavalry, so he hurriedly ended his journey down the mountain and wanted to go home.

When they returned to a small village in Qingzhou, they happened to encounter the ghost army that was burning, killing and looting.

He saw many Qingzhou soldiers who were killing the enemy, and also saw the displaced villagers. His blood was boiling, and Ji Changhong drew his sword, his hair standing on end, and charged towards the Kyoto ghost army.

Then I didn’t fight.

In order to protect a girl, he was soon surrounded by the Kyoto ghost army and was caught in a dilemma.

At this critical moment of life and death, Ji Changhong directly exploded with all his potential and cut out one ten-thousandth of Duan Siji's beauty.

The time of the Kyoto ghost army that was besieging him went back a moment.

He also took advantage of this opportunity to grab the little girl on his back and escape. Soon all the ghost soldiers from Kyoto were driven out, but unfortunately the village had been destroyed and there were heavy casualties.

After Ji Changhong discovered that the little girl he rescued had no father or mother, he took her back to the mountain, took good care of her, and named her Ji Xiaoyu.

But the seeds of disaster were also planted here.

Ji Changhong did not realize that the enemies who killed the Kyoto ghost thief were not only the Qingzhou army, but also some aristocratic families.

Among these noble families there is a special one.

That is the Zhao family.

The Zhao family was a rather arrogant family in Qingzhou. They happened to have seen the capabilities of Ji Jian Villa on the battlefield that day, and became greedy, so they simply went to Ji Jian Villa to pay a visit.

As soon as they arrived at the villa, this group of people explained their purpose. After hearing what they said, Ji Changhong naturally would not be willing.

If we really give up our unique skills, what kind of "Ji Jian" villa would it be?
The person from the Zhao family also had a bad temper. The two sides started arguing on the spot and directly injured the people from Ji Jian Villa.

How could Ji Changhong spoil the other party? He cut off the hands of the messenger on the spot.

From then on, the two wealthy families held a grudge against each other and had a dispute for more than ten years.

Over the past ten years, the Zhao family has come to cause trouble for Ji Jian Villa almost every year, and it has never stopped.

From summoning ghosts and monsters, to attacking Ji Jian Villa and sending assassins to kill the people in the villa, it can almost be said that they have tried every possible means.

The villa naturally has its own way of dealing with the problems year after year.

As time went by, the Zhao family seemed to have gradually forgotten about this matter. Apart from causing trouble as a routine matter, their actions were not as ruthless as before.

Ji Jian Villa gradually put this matter behind them.

But who knew that some time ago, the Zhao family had some unknown opportunity and won the favor of King Shou, and moved to the town in the forest at the foot of the mountain. Then, this group of people became more and more arrogant.

The Zhao family sent their young master to the door in a swaggering manner. They first presented a few boxes of gold and silver, saying that there had been misunderstandings all these years and that both sides needed to communicate properly.

However, they immediately asked Ji Jian Villa to hand over the secret book for joint research and development. Ji Changhong, who was already middle-aged, was so angry that he directly called the other party shameless and drove the young master of the Zhao family out.

The young master also threatened Ji Jian Villa before leaving. At that time, most people in Ji Jian Villa felt that this matter had little impact, but Ji Changhong was the only one who noticed something unusual and asked Ji Xiaoyu to leave the mountain to gain experience.

Ten months after Ji Xiaoyu left the mountain, everyone in the villa, including the mountain owner, had forgotten about the Zhao family.

They spent their days as calmly as usual, and finally on a rainy day, they saw a sedan chair.

The sedan was occupied by four girls, with lifeless eyes, hair tied with chili peppers, faces painted with white makeup and two dots of bright red. They wore flowery clothes on the upper body and green trousers on the lower body. They had no breathing when they moved and no sound when they walked.

The Zhao family’s sedan chair arrived.

……

“At that time, there was only an old man getting off the sedan chair. I recognized him. He is the current patriarch of the Zhao family, called Zhao Youxian. He is at the ordinary Xiantian realm, and his Taoism is not very high among his peers. But he has a backer and has been working hard for many years. He has obtained a lot of treasures. His means and strength are outstanding enough.

"We didn't know that this man would come down in person. We panicked and didn't have time to prepare. We were caught off guard by the twelve paper men he released. In the end, we used all our strength to kill ten of them, and the remaining two killed everyone in our villa."

When Ji Changhong said this, even though he was a spirit, tears started to fall from his eyes:

"I only regret that I didn't open the back door immediately to let my brothers escape. I also killed several responsible young men. I deserve to die."

He also wailed, and the resentful souls following behind him gathered around him, as if to comfort him.

Ji Changhong adjusted his mood for a while, then continued to sigh and speak:
"That damned old ghost took away our magic and urinated at the door before leaving. We are the remaining souls who want revenge and are trapped in the yard. He also eroded our minds and turned us into evil spirits. Then when Xiaoyu comes back, we will kill him and put an end to him. It is a sinister and vicious plan!
“Fortunately, when I was young, I went to Xuzhou once, where I met a master called Shanxin. He gave me a wooden bead he carved, which I kept as a talisman. I didn’t expect that this thing could keep me sane, dispel the evil thoughts in my heart, and protect the rest of my colleagues in the villa.

"To this day, I no longer hope to find my sword manor's magic. I just hope that Xiaoyu can survive and stay away from Qingzhou. The farther the better."

Ji Changhong finally finished speaking, his face full of bitterness.

When he looked at Zuo Chen again, he bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, expressing his sincere feelings:

"I sent Xiaoyu out, but this girl will probably only hunt a few pheasants and rabbits in the mountains and come back. She won't be here for long. I hope the Taoist priest will be kind enough to bury all the bodies in my backyard and pray for our salvation so that Xiaoyu can get rid of this karma."

Zuo Chen stared at Ji Changhong in front of him for two seconds.

"Then the Zhao family is in the town that is the only way to Shouwangzhuang?"

"Yes."

"It just so happens." Zuo Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Paper people carrying a sedan chair, I am quite interested in the owner of this trick. Let me go over and see if I can get your family's book back."

Ji Changhong: “Ah?”
