No taboos

Chapter 115: Entering the Family Tree (th update, please give me a monthly ticket!)

The fox sisters caught up and when they saw the old fox, they immediately said respectfully, "Grandpa."

The old fox nodded slightly: "You guys go down, leave this to me."

The fox sisters didn't dare to say anything more and went back to the Plum Blossom Pond below in an orderly manner.

Xu Yuan continued, "That night, you put on a great show with the two sisters in town."

The old fox's eyes glowed green as he stared at Xu Yuan quietly.

"You should have guessed by then why I was looking for them. You and them acted out a scene of deep affection between grandfather and granddaughter, but in reality, you had already decided to intervene."

That night, the performances of the fox sisters were so disjointed.

They were obviously extremely afraid of the old fox, but later they pretended to act coquettishly in front of the old fox.

Xu Yuan was a little skeptical at the time.

The old fox nodded: "You are a smart kid. Then guess why I should interfere in this matter?"

"Because you don't want the evil spirits in the mountains to collude with the people outside the mountains!"

From a human perspective, colluding with evil spirits is a serious sin.

On the other hand, from the perspective of evil, isn't collusion with living people the same?

The old fox laughed and threw the wine gourd at Xu Yuan: "Give me back the Shan Ye tablet. It won't be of much use to you anyway."

Xu Yuan took the wine gourd, pulled out the cork and took a smell. A pungent smell of wine mixed with the sweet and fishy smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.

Xu Yuan frowned, and the old fox's expression was already unfriendly: "You accused me of being unfair and tricking you into helping me kill the Haikou Toad. This is not equal to the help I gave you.

Now that I have given you extra compensation, you still dare to be greedy?"

Xu Yuan curled his lips. This old man changes his expression so quickly.

Anyway, there was really no use keeping the Shan Ye Stele, so Xu Yuan returned it to him.

The old fox stood up, like an old Taoist priest living in the mountains, and disappeared among the mountains in a few steps.

Only one voice remained, echoing in Xu Yuan's ears: "Little boy, why don't you guess again? I don't want the evil spirits in the mountains to collude with the living. Who is behind this?"

Xu Yuan was stunned. Is there someone behind the old fox... or is it an evil spirit?
Xu Yuan’s first reaction was “Master Ruan Tian”, but it was immediately rejected. If it was this person, there was no need to do that.

Wait until Qin Gaoming goes to Guanghuo Street and then kill him to make our stance clear.

Even when the snake-stick came to smooth things over, he could have just stated that he didn't want to see Qin Gaoming.

"So... is it one of the others on Guanghuo Street?"

Xu Yuan couldn't be sure either.

This Ghost Witch Mountain is very complicated and the water is deeper than I thought.

Fu Jingyu and the other two saw Xu Yuan talking to the old fox, so they didn't dare to get close and waited in the distance.

They came up after the old fox left and saw Xu Yuan standing there in a daze. They called out, "Xiao Xu?"

Xu Yuan came back to his senses and smiled at the three of them: "Go back."

……

The fox sisters were waiting obediently in the hole of the old plum tree.

The two little foxes are lively and active and can't sit still.

But as soon as one of them moved its tail, its sister kicked it and scolded it, "Behave yourself!"

The little tail was put down resignedly, and then the sound of a door opening was heard from the old plum tree, and the old fox walked in with his hands behind his back.

"grandfather!"

"Grandpa!"

The four foxes placed their front paws on their foreheads and knelt down to greet them.

The old fox raised his paw like a human and said, "Get up. You have done well this time. Practice well. In three years, I will take you back to your ancestral land and register your names in the family tree."

"Thank you for your grace, Grandpa!" The fox sisters were overjoyed and knelt down again.

The old fox snorted, "Of all the younger generations from the ancestral land, you two are the most useless. You just play around all day long, yet you've taken advantage of that little kid and are the first to return to the ancestral land to register your names..."

The fox sisters' tails, which had been sticking up just now, drooped down with a wilted sound. ...

Xu Yuan and his four companions were very fast and returned to the town an hour before dark.

The captains waiting in Zhao's Fur Shop all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that every one of them had returned safely.

"Thank you for your hard work, adults!"

"Is there any progress in the case?"

Mr. Yan's words made everyone overjoyed: "The case is solved!"

Everyone cheered in unison: "This time it's all thanks to the adults."

Old Yan waved his hand and said, "It's mainly thanks to Xiao Xu."

The captains all bowed and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Master Xu. We will host you together after we return to the city. Please do me the honor of attending."

Xu Yuan waved his hand: "No need..."

The captains nominated one man: "Master Xu, please don't misunderstand. We had already discussed and decided on this matter before the others returned. Alas... we were indeed ignorant and shallow before, and we are truly ashamed. We only ask Master Xu to give us a chance to express our feelings."

Xu Yuan couldn't refuse: "Okay then."

Xu Yuan grabbed the captain and said, "There's something urgent. Move out immediately and arrest everyone from the Lin family's candy shop!"

"As ordered!"

A group of captains rushed out like wolves and tigers, but this time Xu Yuan and his men didn't follow them.

There are only a few cats in the Lin family's candy house, and the captains are enough to deal with them, so there is no need for them to be in charge.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the captains to bring the men back.

Fu Jingyu and Old Yan were in charge of the interrogation. Unfortunately, Lin Qi knew very little and was unable to elicit any crucial testimony. They therefore locked him up and would escort him back to the city the next day.

After several captains captured the men, they were busy preparing dinner.

What good skills can these rough guys who work outside all year round have?

It's just enough to fill your stomach.

Xu Yuan's appetite was aroused, so he said, "Let's go to Xiyazi Restaurant to eat. Hurry up and come back before dark."

He then said, "Let Master Fu treat us this dinner. He's obviously the richest."

This group of people have no idea how happy it is to have a rich young man as a friend.

Fu Jingyu was still interrogating Lin Qi with Old Yan at this moment, and everyone laughed together: "Master Xu will make the decision."

After the interrogation, Fu Jingyu heard about it and didn't quite understand why he was invited to dinner, but he nodded and said, "Okay."

Everyone came out together. Xu Yuan went to the house opposite and asked for another jar of the best wine. He also told A Guang that they might build a town hall and that he would ask him to help deliver things to Wangxiang Village.

Of course it’s not a wasted trip, the Department of Extermination of Filth will reward you.

A Guang naturally agreed readily.

Arriving at the restaurant at the west end of town, Xiyazi was delighted to see so many people. "Oh, Ayuan is here! I told the host to give you two some snacks to go with the wine."

Xu Yuan said: "You really are a good businessman."

Xu Yuan took care of ordering the dishes, and Fu Jingyu paid the bill first. They would leave after eating to save some time, after all, it wasn't long before dark.

While waiting for the food to be served, Xu Yuan suddenly spoke up, "There's another person in town who needs to be interrogated. It's Widow Yang from South Street. She's the one who has the most contact with Zheng Rongkui. Zheng Rongkui is staying with her when he returns this time."

Xu Yuan looked at Master Fu and said, "As for the soul-searching method, it depends on you."

When Fu Jingyu heard that it was official business, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll go right away."

As soon as the food was served, he left with two captains.

　Another five-point explosion!

　　I am more confident in asking for this monthly ticket today.

　　The plot of Ghost Witch Mountain has come to an end for the time being, but the secrets contained therein are only the tip of the iceberg, and more will be revealed later.

　　In fact, all the settings have not been fully explained yet, such as why Lin Wanmo changed from an apprentice to a second wife, the definition of each level of the seven major gates, the inside story of the Mountain and River Division, the truth about Huang Ming's continuation of life, etc. We will unfold them slowly and calmly.
