Chapter 69 Li Family Mansion
We went up the mountain, and after many twists and turns, we finally reached the top of the mountain.
In front of you is a simple-looking door.
But I can feel that the breath inside is pure and clean. Compared with the previous small Taoist temple, I don't know how much stronger it is.
Although I promised to come down at the foot of the mountain, I was still a little scared when I actually came in front of this dragon vein.
Most people think that dragon veins must be a sign of auspiciousness.
In fact, this is not the case. Dragon Vein is a powerful force. If you cannot tame it, it will be counterattacked.
According to Li Shun's own account, his family actually forcibly took possession of the dragon vein as their own, and they did not shy away from it, occupying the center of the dragon vein.
This is undoubtedly a taboo.
This means that while bringing countless wealth and risks, they also have to bear great risks. Once something unlucky happens, they will inevitably go to war.
"Welcome back, Master."
There were four people who looked like servants at the door. They bowed when they saw Li Shun.
I followed Li Shun, still wearing the dirty school uniform. I had been sitting on the ground all night last night, and there was a heavy dust mark on my buttocks.
I was a little embarrassed when I walked in.
But they are worthy of being from a big family. Even the servants are polite and don't mind at all. They even came up to me and asked me if I needed their help to carry my bag.
I quickly waved my hand. I couldn't even tell what the things inside were. They were taken by people living on the dragon's veins, and there was no guarantee that something would happen.
This is the first time I've been so cautious when going to someone else's house.
This place is designed in Chinese style from the inside out, with pavilions, rockeries, corridors and rooms. Every place looks particularly elegant.
Along the way, I didn't see any shortcomings in the landscape. I even sighed several times at some of the designs.
It seems that there is not only Li Yuan behind the Li family, but also more powerful people helping to take charge.
While I was amazed, I became even more curious, what would the murder that happened in this place look like?
The housekeeper led us for a while, and after seeing all kinds of scenery, we finally arrived at Father Li's study.
I was about to knock on the door, but Li Shun raised his hand and stopped me.
Then he clasped his fists at the door and said, "Father, I brought my master here."
A majestic and somewhat hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in."
Li Shun then opened the door.
There were already people inside. An old man with a goatee was sitting on the left side of Li Xiong. He was wearing a Taoist robe that looked very expensive. There was also a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes following him, serving him tea.
Deliver water.
To Li Xiong's right is a bald man wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with an expression similar to that of Maitreya Buddha, squinting his eyes happily.
I looked at the smooth and shiny mahogany floor, and then at my muddy shoes in the backyard of the ghost temple. I felt a little regretful. I should have changed my clothes.
The old man also looked at me evilly, with a look of disdain.
Li Shun coughed twice and winked at me, gesturing for me to hurry in.
I could only bite the bullet and walked into the room.
Li Shun introduced me that his father, Li Xiong, is the head of the Li family, and Li Yuan is his uncle.
Li Xiong has a face very similar to Li Shun, but with more wrinkles and white hair, he looks more majestic.
He looked me up and down without any emotion, but it made me feel an inexplicable pressure.
"Well, did you tell him what happened on the way here?"
Li Shun replied softly: "No, I think this matter should not be discussed easily outside, otherwise the walls have ears and it will be difficult to deal with."
Li Xiong frowned. I thought he was going to be angry, but a sense of fear arose in my heart.
Who knew that he just smiled and said: "Hey, Xiao Shun, you think things too carefully. If walls really have ears, there won't be any changes even if you come back."
"You always have a way to make the place you stay safer than me."
Li Shun was noncommittal and just smiled.
"Okay, what do you call this little Taoist priest?"
I quickly replied: "My name is Xu Dezhi. You can call me whatever you like."
After hearing this, Li Xiong's smile became even stronger: "Okay, Taoist Xu. I heard that you studied under Taoist Chen. Is it true or false?"
I nodded: "It's true, Taoist Master Chen said he accepted me as a disciple."
He didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all with my abrupt and unceremonious answer. He touched his stubbled chin and patted my shoulder: "Not bad, not bad. He is a Taoist with an immortal spirit. He lives in the city, and
Daochang Chen is indeed very similar."
On the contrary, the old man on the side became dissatisfied when he heard this. He frowned and stood up, stood in front of Li Xiong and hugged his fist: "Boss Li, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiong was obviously a little impatient with him. He turned around and his expression changed: "You said you must see to believe before you believe that he is Daochang Chen's apprentice. Now Xiao Shun has brought him,
What else do you want?"
The old man was choked by Li Xiong's words, but he couldn't refute for a moment. He waved his sleeves and said, "There is no basis for what you say! He is like this, and he is so mean at first glance. How could Senior Brother Chen blindly accept him as his apprentice!"
While talking, he looked at me a few times, with doubt written all over his face.
It didn't matter to me, but as soon as I heard him say something wrong about Daochang Chen, I immediately retorted: "Why can't it be me? I worked with him to eliminate Tian Bin, but I was a big help!"
He glared at me and said, "I know how to tell lies. Senior Brother Chen is so capable. How can I level a Tian Bin with your help?"
"I!"
I suddenly remembered that Daochang Chen had told me that he should not easily tell others that he had completely lost his moral integrity. When the words came to his lips, he temporarily changed his statement: "I am just capable, Daochang Chen just accepted me as his disciple, what's the matter?"
He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Seeing that the old man was deflated, the fat man on his side smiled even happier. Li Xiong also suppressed his laughter and persuaded: "Okay, you two, stop arguing. We will naturally see the difference when we do things later."
The old man sat down angrily.
Li Xiong walked up to me, smiled and patted my shoulder, and Li Shun also gave me a "good job" mouth.
It seems that this old man is usually a nuisance, but he is still so arrogant!
After I followed Li Shun and sat down on one side, Li Xiong introduced me to the situation in the house.
"It didn't happen long ago, it was only ten days ago."
Ten days ago, they found a headless corpse in the house. The corpse's fingerprints were burned, the head was removed, and even the body's organs that could identify gender were missing.
