Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

The three disciples from Kongtong Mountain were stunned and puzzled. They hadn't detected any trace of a cultivator, yet this black-robed man was actually chatting with the ghosts in the ancestral hall?!

The Gong family members could not see the two ghosts. In their view, Chu Wuji came to cause destruction and desecrate the Gong clan ancestral hall!

The Gong family member was about to explode, but the Minister's wife reacted very quickly. She seemed to have found her confidence and took advantage of the situation to shout to the Second Clan Leader:

"Second Patriarch, look at this! You treated this little wild cultivator with kindness, but he came to destroy the Gong clan's ancestral hall. This kind of person is like a dog that can never be fed! You fed him a gold ingot, and he's already thinking about your property. How foolish!!"

With the presence of monks from the major sects of Kongtong Mountain, the Minister's wife was not afraid at all that this wild cultivator would get angry and embarrassed.

The second patriarch wanted to get angry, but the clan's ancestral hall was littered with incense ash, and the white-haired young man was playing with the incense burner, so the second patriarch found it difficult to refute.

Chu Wuji stood up and bowed his hands to apologize. He threw the gold ingot to the housekeeper and said apologetically:

“Grandfather Gong and Miss Gong Li were hungry and wanted to eat incense, so I gave it to them. I had no intention of offending the Gong clan’s ancestral hall.

But no matter what, I have come here uninvited and trespassed into the ancestral hall without permission. I really have no face to accept this farewell gift."

There is a saying that goes "first courtesy, then force". The "courtesy" stage is over, it's time to use "force".

Chu Wuji's kind eyes gradually disappeared, his eyes closed, and when he opened them again, the expression on his face had not changed. Just a glance showed an angry and ferocious look!

Qian Bao, the junior fellow apprentice who came from Kongtong Mountain, was inexplicably shocked by the aura and subconsciously took a step back. When he realized that the other party was not a cultivator, he straightened his steps in surprise.

Chu Wuji's expression was cold and indifferent, his eyes, like those of a fierce beast, condensed into a vertical form, staring through the crowd at the Minister and his wife.

The couple felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. The Minister's wife leaned towards the monks of Kongtong Mountain, using anger to maintain her composure.

"What do you mean, you wild cultivator? Do you want to die? This is a cultivator from a major sect in Kongtong Mountain!"

Chu Wuzhi grabbed the Minister's wife through the air. Senior Brother Qiao Liang was the closest to him. He was about to stop her, but found that he could not shake the huge hand full of energy.

"What kind of trick is this?!"

The wife of the Minister was carried like a chicken and flew in front of Chu Wuzhi. He restrained his strength and slapped her in the face with his backhand. The woman in luxurious clothes flew backwards and her expensive headdress shattered into pieces.

Although she was not beaten to death, black and blue palm prints appeared on her face and half of her face was swollen.

"Your great grandfather ordered me to do this. Don't disturb me and Sister Gong Li while we're chatting. This is a very important place in the ancestral hall, so stay outside the door!"

Grandpa Gong thought to himself that he didn't ask Chu Wuzhi to hit anyone, but the slap was indeed very satisfying, so he could accept it.

The old man looked at the monks coming from Kongtong Mountain, omitting the two of them and only focusing on the veiled woman. She was the master's disciple, and her status was much higher than his former disciple who had made a serious mistake.

He said respectfully, "Senior Sister Gu and two fellow Daoists, please come in. Please excuse my embarrassment!"

Senior Sister Gu and her two junior brothers walked into the ancestral hall. She waved her jade arm lightly, and a burst of light sprinkled from her sleeves. The confused Gong family members soon saw the great-grandfather in the ancestral hall and the granddaughter Gong Li who jumped into the well and died!

"It's the Immortal Great Grandfather!"

"And cousin Gong Li! How could she be in the ancestral hall?"

The Minister and his wife wanted to ask the three gods why they allowed that wild cultivator to act so wildly in front of them, but they were stunned by the scene in the ancestral hall.

Chu Wuji seemed not to hear the noise. He changed the incense burner, sat cross-legged on the ground again, and handed the incense to the girl like feeding her a snack.

He returned to the pace of his previous conversation as if no one was around.

"I forgot what I wanted to talk about just now... Girl, you are definitely not as bad as your mother said. I know a girl who looks similar to you. She is about one or two years older than you. Your growth process is very similar!"

Chapter 193: The Nian Beast emerges!

The Gong Family Ancestral Hall is a strange sight.

From the most senior group to the minister and his wife and the younger generations, they all gathered outside the gate of the ancestral hall, not daring to take a single step forward, and watched the conversation between the outsiders inside the hall.

Qiao Liang and Qian Bao, two fellow apprentice brothers, were filled with anger. That wild cultivator with strange methods actually dared to violently beat the Minister's wife in front of the cultivators from Kongtong Mountain. It showed that he did not take the great immortal sect seriously at all!

Is it because he is blind and unaware of the heritage of Kongtong Mountain, and is arrogant because of his ignorance, or does he really have a powerful backing behind him?

The two brothers exchanged glances and whispered to each other silently:

"What's going on? Why didn't Senior Sister Gu reprimand this person for his arrogance and rudeness?"

"Have you figured out his true identity? Why do I feel like he's just a mortal warrior with extraordinary skills?"

As for the Senior Sister Gu they were talking about, after Chu Wuji stopped at the right time, she remained silent the whole time. She first glanced at his sleeves, and then quietly listened to what he talked about with the girl Gong Li.

Grandpa Gong knew that he couldn't get a word in here, so he signaled with his eyes to let the two disciples from Kongtong Mountain go outside the ancestral hall to chat.

The old man's ghost walked out through the wall. Qiao Liang and Qian Bao quietly left the ancestral hall without making any noise. Seeing this, the second clan leader also went around to the side.

Grandpa Gong saw someone coming and said:

"I have committed many sins and cannot leave the ancestral hall too far. Let's talk here. I will tell you what I will tell you later. Please help me pass the message to Senior Sister Gu..."

"I will repeat it exactly as it is."

Qiao Liang and Qian Bao nodded and treated this senior master who had committed a serious offense calmly. The other party was willing to take the initiative to explain the situation, saving them the trouble of asking further questions.

Inside the ancestral hall,

After sitting down on the ground again, Chu Wuji took on the role of narrator for the first time in a long time, telling what he knew about Yun Qingying's condition and her subsequent situation.

"It turns out that in a foreign country, there are women like me who practice martial arts until they pass out in order to rest in peace and avoid being blamed by their tribesmen?" The young girl Gong Li looked at the sky outside the window with a look of surprise, and was dazed for a moment.

"Yes, she is a very strong girl. No matter how much suffering she endures, she can hold on as long as she thinks of her mother."

"Did she successfully enter the Immortal Family?"

Chu Wuji hesitated, worried that the gap would hurt the girl, but he still chose to nod honestly:

"Well, although I almost got into trouble on the way to the Immortal's home and nearly died at the last step, I still managed to enter the Immortal's home after some difficulties and no longer cared about my own family."

When Gong Li heard the words "almost died", he became nervous. When he heard that she succeeded, the girl breathed a sigh of relief:

"very nice!"

"You're no worse than her, except that you're even more burdened. You have a mother who creates hardship for you. You've been working hard, but you've been belittled, scolded, and abandoned by your family. Your great-grandfather, who wants to encourage you the most, can't reach you and can't send you a dream to praise you."

The wife of the minister outside the door finally recovered from the stars in her eyes. When she heard the words in the house, she was filled with dissatisfaction and anger. However, when she saw her daughter's ghost sitting there, she burst into tears of sadness and annoyance again.

"Xiao Li'er, I really don't mean to harm you. Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense! I'm just a first-time parent, and I'm too eager for my daughter to become a successful woman!"

Minister Gong also showed regret on his face at this time:

"Daughter, Dad shouldn't have ignored you. I shouldn't have treated you as an outsider just because of the in-laws' agreement, and I shouldn't have agreed to that adoption agreement so early on!"

Gong Li's ghost looked outside the ancestral hall, where her parents were regretting and blaming themselves, and it seemed that they were really sincere and heartfelt, but her heart was not moved at all.

I just feel that this voice is a bit fake, a bit strange, a bit distant...

There has been no change in the harsh criticism over the past decade or so, so why did it change so suddenly after his death?

The girl looked at the elders and peers of the Gong family. They seemed to sympathize and feel sorry for the minister and his wife's confession, but she, the person involved, really didn't feel anything.

Gong Li turned her attention back to the white-haired older brother in front of her and asked:

"Big brother, what about you? How are your parents?"

Chu Wuji pretended to be proud and showed off. He couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Sister Gong, I'm afraid you'll be jealous and wish you could reincarnate right away if I tell you this."

Chu Wuji's image and temperament give people a mysterious, cold and indifferent impression. The less familiar one is with him, the more obvious this feeling is.

The girl was surprised to see this handsome older brother showing such a silly smile. She smiled suspiciously and said:

"I don't believe it, brother, tell me!"

"Brother, I was thrown into the wilderness when I was born. How could I know who my parents were?"

"......Ah?" The girl was dumbfounded.

"But my fortunes rebounded, and my godmother picked me up and raised me. She didn't have any expectations of me, didn't ask me to become a successful person, and just took me everywhere to play, wasting time, and go wherever she heard there was something fun, and that's how we've been together until today."

"..."

"Are you envious?" Chu Wuji showed a childish look of pride.

"I am a little envious!" Gong Li nodded seriously.

The snow-white snake in her sleeve listened to her son's words and wondered if she had really done that well. Was her son's words just a casual remark, or did he really feel it?

Auntie Qing Snake whispered inappropriately: "Wu Ji, don't you think Auntie treats you very well? Beating is love, scolding is love, now I have kissed and loved you!"

"......" Chu Wuji was at a loss for words and had no idea how to respond.

After finishing what needed to be talked about, he stood up and subconsciously wanted to rub the girl's head, but he suddenly reacted and stopped in time, almost forcibly killing her.

Chu Wuji felt a surge of fear and looked towards the veiled fairy from Kongtong Mountain and asked:

"What do you want to talk to this Miss Gong about? I'm done."

The woman called Senior Sister Gu also shook her head. She knew the truth about the things in the mountain, but Kongtong Mountain was unable to deal with it for the time being.

It was impossible to deal with that beast under the threat of a massive backlash. Ordinary disciples couldn't handle it, and using an elder to pay for it was impractical. The Gong family's great grandfather had caused trouble, so it was impossible to draw lots and choose an immortal elder to suffer the backlash, right?

Back then, Kongtong Mountain took into consideration the hard work of Gong's great-grandfather in guarding the mountain and only removed his title as a descendant of the immortal family, and punished him to guard the mountain until his soul was scattered, without implicating the Gong family.

Senior Sister Gu had just been listening patiently, just wanting to understand how Miss Gong Li died, whether there was any evil spirit behind it, and to resolve the Gong family's doubts so that they wouldn't have to keep asking for help. The relationship between Kongtong Mountain and the Gong family has been almost ruined.

Previously, I was willing to accept Gong De to try practicing cultivation. That was because we didn't hold grudges and didn't target him. Since he had talent, I gave him the opportunity and treated him as an equal. It was not because of any favors I had for Grandpa Gong.

After listening for so long, I didn't expect it to be a sad family affair.

The veiled woman came back to her senses and looked at the strange young man in front of her. She asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is your name? The jade hairpin around your waist should have belonged to Elder Ning Xianzhi of the Shenxiao Sect."

Chu Wuji didn't know whether to respond. He was not familiar with this immortal woman and had no intention of greeting her, but she seemed to know Ning Xianzhi's mother.

At this moment, the ground shook and a rumbling sound came from the direction of the mountains. The sound was so loud that it hurt the eardrums.

A powerful roar was heard, followed by ecstatic laughter.

Grandfather Gong's face was filled with astonishment. He glanced at the mountain and hurriedly said to the younger generations:

"The Nian beast is about to come out. Go back to your house and hide. Don't move around!"

He was just about to go through the wall to tell the people in the ancestral hall, but a loud voice coming from the mountain seemed to have great power, which directly froze him in place.

"I still remember that in the past few years, the townspeople were in awe of my existence and stayed indoors..."

The beast's tone of voice was filled with rage, and he remembered the hatred that had been suppressed over the years.

"I was just wondering why they were so bold this year, still so lively and festive in the middle of the night. Turns out the monks from Kongtong Mountain came to deliver meat!"

"You've come just in time, saving me the trouble of going far away to find food for the dragon!"

Chapter 194: Is it great to be blessed?

In the Lihuo Mountains near Jieshi City, two white tigers, one big and one small, were strolling leisurely.

They did not show any domineering attitude, but no creature in the mountains dared to approach them rashly. Even if the hibernating animals were awakened, they dared not move or make a sound.

"Mother, has that thing woken up? I think I heard his voice."

"Yes, he sneaked out this year and made such a loud noise. It must be that my benefactor is looking for trouble with him."

"Are Twolegs not afraid of being unlucky enough to step in dog shit in the future?"

"Maybe I'm used to it." Mrs. Baihu couldn't give a definite answer. How could she know Chu Wuzhi's intention?

"Then what are we doing here now? Mother, you seldom leave the cave." Xiaotu seemed very excited and active, chattering non-stop, because Madam Baihu seldom accompanied her out to play.

"Let's take over this section of the Lihuo Mountains first. Although the spiritual energy here has been 'encircled' by Jiangjun Mountain and the main veins are blocked, so it can't be transported to our side, maybe it can come in handy."

*

The people in Gong's house hid themselves in a hurry, closed the doors and windows, and hid back in their own rooms, holding firecrackers in their hands in case of emergency.

But this thing is not a talisman. In the past, Grandpa Gong asked the people to use firecrackers to blow away the smell on their bodies before going home. This was because he was afraid that when the beast came out, it would smell the smell that suited its taste and become greedy and itchy. Once it was targeted by the beast, no firecrackers would work!

Qiao Liang, a cultivator from Kongtong Mountain, had a solemn expression on his face. He felt the terrifying aura coming from Jiangjun Mountain and was at a loss.

Even if we put aside the disgusting backlash, the strength of this beast is not something that can be easily dealt with!

Qiao Liang asked anxiously, "Senior Sister, what should we do? It's too late to try to set up the formation now!"

"This thing must have captured our breath and found that we stayed in the town for too long, so it was alarmed and came out." Qian Bao, the youngest junior brother, held the magic sword in his hand to calm himself down.

If the monk passes by and leaves, the beast in the mountain will probably not show up and will continue to hide in the tomb. But if the monk stays nearby for too long, the beast will suspect whether the monk is planning to set up an array to deal with it and will immediately attack.
