Chapter 307: Overnight on the Road

s the message leaked"Ripples put down the book in her hands, untied her scarf, and asked in surprise."No, it's the villagers who go hunting in the village returning.""You said something happened, some...Now Feng Yu has nothing to say, and Wu You also looks thoughtful.

"Until the evil is completely eradicated, please, master and disciple, remain here to guard!"

After Ripple finished speaking, with a flick of her sleeve, she left in a dashing manner.

A chilling laugh escaped Lian Yue, almost waking the entire town of Shuangqi. Immediately, dog barks and the cries of infants filled the air. Everyone retreated to their homes, trying to calm themselves, afraid to venture out.

Minmin and Wenlu were also very worried. They now somewhat regretted not staying by Lianyi's side. Just as Luoshuang came over to ask about her whereabouts, they decided to go out and find Lianyi.

Under their demands, the innkeeper trembled and opened the door. He saw a white-clad woman standing at the entrance, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground with his buttocks.

"Miss!"

"Fairy!"

"Where are you going"

Ripple took a step into the yard. She had originally planned to fly back to the third floor, but she saw that the people around her seemed to be pulling the boss, as if asking him to open the door, so she decided to enter through the front door instead.

"We are worried about Miss, and are going to look for you!"

Lo Ying was the first to speak.

"Don't worry! Everything is taken care of, go get some rest!"

The ripples waved goodbye.

These people, seeing that their young mistress was unharmed, all dispersed.

The next morning, Zhao, Qian, and Sun came to the inn to see her. Lian Yi didn't show herself and instead had Min Min come out to turn them away.

"My fairy said that the three young masters have been freed, you may take their corpses back to handle the funeral. Remember to discipline your younger generations in the future, do not commit such outrageous acts again, you are not always so lucky to meet my fairy."

Minmin set a commanding tone, and said to the ripples, "Tell these people..."

How long does it take to hold a wake

Zhaojia's steward cautiously asked.

"Still keeping the body Just burn it and bury it, remember not to bury it in the family's ancestral grave, lest it ruin the feng shui of the main house."

Mimin said very seriously.

"Yes, this small one has memorized it!"

Zhao Guan immediately nodded in agreement, then took out a small box from his bosom and presented it to Minmin.

"My old master knows that fairies dislike mundane objects, but we can't be disrespectful. This is a small token of our appreciation. We hope the fairy will accept it."

Mimin thought about it for a moment, then took the small box. Whether to keep it or not was still up to the young lady to decide.

When the managers of the other two families saw this, they immediately took out their prepared gifts and presented them to Minmin. After watching Minmin accept them, they each took their leave.

Minmin went to see Lianyi with something in her hand. Lianyi waved her hand and said:

Since they gave it to us, we might as well take it. We never know when we might be able to use it.

Miss, are you setting off today

Luo Huai stepped forward and asked.

"Set off after having an early meal."

Ripples immediately agreed.

Yes, miss!

Luo Huai, upon hearing of the departure, immediately went to excitedly inform the guards.

"Miss, those two Taoists"

"Don't worry about them, they have to stay for two more days to fulfill their promise."

"Miss, did Lady Lian Yue agree to self-destruct simply because those two Taoists were willing to change the feng shui If those families received enough punishment and disciplined their disciples well, wouldn't it be meaningless"

Wen Lu blurted out a question.

> "Because Lian Yue sees things clearly, that's why she agreed. Because these five families will inevitably fall within three generations."

Ripple said with great certainty.

"Why"

"Of these five families, three had only sons who died. The eldest son is a successor with no problem based on the age of the head of the family. However, because they have lost before, they will be more anxious about this child and unconsciously indulge him. As for the current lessons and fear in their hearts, it will be forgotten with the passage of time."

So, they're sure to fall back into old habits.

"Yes, so going downhill is inevitable. If someone truly remembers and teaches their children well, they wouldn't fail. But based on my understanding of these five families, they don't seem to have that kind of courage."

Liàn Yī took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and said with a smile,

"Understood, sir."

Wenlu no longer asked any further questions and, along with Minmin, made preparations to leave.

After having their breakfast, the group left Biqi Town.

When Wuyou and Fengyu, whose hands and legs were weak from hunger, returned to the town, Lu Yao Xianzi was nowhere to be found. They inquired at the inn and learned that she had already left.

"Master, what do we do now Should we chase after them"

"The evil has been dispelled, but we haven't done what we promised yet!"

"Master is talking about Feng Shui"

"Yes, since I have agreed, I will do it. Lest there be further trouble."

Wuyu shook his dustcloth and said.

Yes, Master!

As an apprentice, Fengyu naturally does whatever his master says.

On the other hand, the Jingzhao Mansion sent people to Jiangnan to investigate the whereabouts of Miss Li, the niece of the Li family. The entire Li Mansion was abandoned, and all its servants were dismissed. The mansion became a haunted house, causing property prices along the street to plummet. Everyone was cursing the Li family for their inhumanity.

Some people even connected the dots and came up with a dramatic story, saying that Miss Wu had been murdered for her wealth and Li's family was responsible. They believed that her ghost was seeking revenge, which explained why Miss Wu simply vanished without a trace.

They continued westward, following their original path. As they left the capital, Shiju told Lian'ri that the evil energy had come from this direction, tracing the same route as Tong Hui's movements. Therefore, by following this path, they could find the source of the evil energy more quickly.

On this day, Lian Yi camped under a waterfall with a bamboo grove beside him. The surrounding trees were still lush, but he hadn't seen any animals.

Little Hui in Liang Chen's arms was getting restless again, wriggling around inside his master's clothes. Finally, Liang Chen caught her with one hand, then grabbed the little one's tail and pulled her out.

Little Gray is a small mouse with light gray fur. There's a tuft of golden hair on its forehead, and its tail is very short. Unlike ordinary mice, when Liang Chen's family was about to run out of food, he found Little Gray in the mountains. He set a trap that caught Little Gray.

At that time, Liang Chen, who was starving, would have eyed even a rat with hunger in his eyes; it was meat to him.

Little Grey was terrified, her eyes welling up with tears as she held out both front paws in a plea for mercy. This surprised Liang Chen for a moment before he muttered:

"Little mouse, I don't want to do this either, but if I don't eat you, my mother and I will starve to death."

Xiao Hui seemed to understand Liang Chen's words and gestured with his paws for a long time. Liang Chen understood the other party's meaning, he could lead Liang Chen to find food.

Liang Chen was half-believing and half-skeptical, but he still decided to give it a try. What if he could really find more food than this mouse

He tied a rope to Little Gray's neck and followed him into the mountains. Then, in an empty tree hollow, he found food.

To be precise, it was the birds that brought back stalks of wheat from the fields and dried fruits from the mountains. This solved Liang Chen's urgent need, and the two—human and rat—became friends ever since.somehow. She feared trouble, so she left early."Who could be so unethical as to leak the secrets of the treasure map"Ripples said unhappily."It's not you, it must be someone else! Those people with t...
