Chapter 2490 The Gongsun Family
Lingxuan Pavilion makes a living by selling news, and it is not a super-first-class sect, but its status is not below that of a super-class sect.
They have a wide range of channels for getting information.
All the super first-rate sects cooperate with Lingxuan Pavilion.
The higher the price, the more precious the news, as long as you are willing to pay the price, there is no news that Lingxuan Pavilion cannot find.
"1000 years ago, there was an elder in the Gongsun family who sneaked into Chiyue City and managed to escape alive. However, this person is already stupid. The Gongsun family should know some clues about Chiyue City."
The butler put down the cup and continued talking.
Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan looked at each other, and saw a trace of eagerness in each other's eyes.
They read a lot of clues, some were hearsay, some were random guesses, and there was no real evidence.
They were overjoyed to hear that someone came out of Chiyue City alive.
"Leave the Gongsun family immediately."
Without any hesitation, Yuan Fengnan pulled Liu Wuxie and left Yuan's house before he could clean up.
Time was urgent, they found this person as soon as possible and asked about Chiyue City's situation.
Speeding all the way, Yuan Fengnan sacrificed to the Immortal Emperor's Domain, wrapping Liu Wuxie forward.
Ning Chi and Xia Ru have already returned to Baguio Palace.
After finishing the matter here, Yuan Fengnan promised that he would personally send Liu Wuxie back.
After eating and sleeping in the open air, after a day, they finally arrived at the Gongsun family territory.
The Gongsun family is not a first-class sect, they are similar in status to the Yuan family, they are all first-class families.
The Gongsun family seemed to have expected Yuan Fengnan's arrival.
Recently, the Yuan family is investigating the matter of Chiyue City, and there has been a lot of rumors, and the Gongsun family has received the news a few days ago.
Welcoming Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan into the hall, Patriarch Gongsun is an elderly man in his seventies, and his actual age is at least five thousand years old.
At the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm at this age, when he was in the prime of his life, why did Patriarch Gongsun look old?
The development of the Gongsun family has not been satisfactory in recent years, and there is a vague tendency to fall into a second-rate family.
They took their seats, and the two servants brought them tea.
"I took the liberty to come here this time, and I also invite Gongsun Patriarch Haihan."
Yuan Fengnan let out a haha.
To go to a family normally, you need to make an appointment in advance. Most of the family members retreat all the year round and have no time to receive guests.
"Patriarch Yuan's visit brought prosperity to the Gongsun family. We are too happy to be happy."
Patriarch Gongsun also said haha, the two had only heard of each other and had little contact with each other.
This time the Yuan family's wedding banquet, the Gongsun family only sent two elders to the banquet.
"Patriarch Gongsun, to be honest, we came here to ask for something."
Time was urgent, Yuan Fengnan abandoned those polite words and got straight to the point.
"You are late!"
Patriarch Gongsun shook his head, showing a trace of helplessness.
"I'm late?"
Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan thumped in their hearts, feeling a bad premonition.
"The person you want to see was killed last night."
After Patriarch Gongsun finished speaking, there was a strong murderous look in his eyes.
The killer actually sneaked into their Gongsun family and beheaded the elders of the Gongsun family.
Although he became stupid, he was also the elder of the Gongsun family, and he was assassinated without anyone noticing, no wonder the Patriarch Gongsun was so angry.
Liu Wuxie frowned, there should be someone like the Yuan family who found Lingxuan Pavilion and bought the news.
This led to killing the Yuan family one step ahead of others and preventing the Yuan family from collecting more clues about Chiyue City.
"Patriarch Gongsun, can you take us to have a look?"
Liu Wuxie stood up. Since he was assassinated last night, he should not have been buried yet. He wanted to see who did it.
"Come with me, two!"
Patriarch Gongsun stood up, took the two of them out of the hall, and walked towards the ancestral hall of the Gongsun family.
At this moment in the ancestral hall, slight sobbing can still be heard.
The elder who went to Chiyue City had a high status in the Gongsun family and had many heirs.
The assassination this time made the Gongsun family extremely angry, and all the clan members clamored to find the murderer.
The ancestral hall is full of spiritual flags, and a large number of wreaths are placed on both sides of the gate of the ancestral hall, with elegiac couplets written on them.
In the center of the ancestral hall, there is a coffin, which has not been closed.
Lying in the coffin was a skinny old man who seemed to be quite old.
Seeing the Patriarch, those clansmen who were kneeling on both sides of the ancestral hall stood up one after another and stepped forward to salute.
When they saw Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan, many clansmen showed doubts.
Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan stepped into the ancestral hall and bowed three times to the coffin in the middle, which was a sign of respect for the deceased.
Yuan Fengnan took the incense candle handed over by the family next to him, and after praying three times, he inserted the incense candle into the incense burner with a solemn expression on his face.
"Patriarch Gongsun, can I see Senior Lu?" Liu Wuxie asked Patriarch Gongsun.
The old man lying in the coffin is called Gongsun Lu. He was also well-known in the fairy world back then. This person likes to travel to all kinds of rare places in the world.
No one expected that they would end up in Chiyue City.
Patriarch Gongsun nodded, indicating that Liu Wuxie could step forward, but he was not allowed to move the body of the deceased.
It is disrespectful to the deceased to move the body after death.
Liu Wuxie is naturally aware of this.
Walking to the edge of the coffin, his eyes fell on Gongsun Lu's body.
It can be described as skinny, which proves that Gongsun Lu has suffered a lot in these years.
After Gongsun Lu came back, he became stupid, and Chiyue City was too mysterious, so the Gongsun family issued a password prohibition to discuss information about Chiyue City.
So few outsiders know that Gongsun Lu entered Lu and entered Chiyue City.
Liu Wuxie didn't think so. Entering Chiyue City was not something to be ashamed of. Why did Patriarch Gongsun hide it for nearly a thousand years.
Quietly raising his ghost eyes, Gongsun Lu's body turned transparent little by little, and every inch of blood vessel in his body appeared in Liu Wuxie's sight.
There was a sword mark on his neck, and his throat was sealed with a sword, and he couldn't even make a scream.
Only top killers can do that.
At first Liu Wuxie suspected that Yixuan's killer did it, and quickly eliminated Yixuan.
The master who killed Gongsun Lu obviously intended to blame Yixuan.
The long sword used by Yi Yixuan is thin and thin, and the wound can hardly be seen.
Although the wound on Gongsun Lu's neck was very small, it was obvious that there was still a trace of sword energy in the wound.
Using the burst of sword energy, it formed a blade and cut Gongsun Lu's neck.
His eyes are still scrutinizing, Gongsun Lu's body does not look abnormal, why does he become stupid after coming out of Chiyue City.
The problem must have appeared in the sea of souls.
The ghost eyes went straight to Gongsun Lu's sea of souls, even though he was dead, there was still a faint warmth in the sea of souls.
He didn't dare to search for the soul in front of the Gongsun family, so he could only use ghost eyes and spiritual power to check.
The ghost eyes wandered in Gongsun Lu's sea of souls, and Liu Wuxie became more and more startled as he looked at it. Many insects grew out of Gongsun Lu's sea of souls.
This kind of bug cannot be seen with normal sight.
The two god eyes were cast at the same time, and only then did they see a clue.
Liu Wuxie seemed to understand why the people who entered Chiyue City became stupid. It turned out that the soul sea was eroded by mysterious species, which caused the soul sea to become disordered and look dumb.
As long as you find a way to break this bug, you can enter Chiyue City.
After so many years, someone should have discovered the existence of bugs, but so far no one has been able to crack them.
The bugs are so small that they can hardly be seen, they flow with Gongsun Lu's memory.
Don't dare to sacrifice the God-Tuning Cauldron easily, this kind of bug can't even do anything to the Immortal Emperor Realm, once it enters the God-Swallowing Cauldron and enters its own soul sea, wouldn't it be troublesome.
Liu Wuxie will never try unless it is absolutely necessary.
After checking about Mozhan Tea's time, he looked away.
Staring at a dead person for a long time is also disrespectful to the family members.
"Let's go out."
After looking back, Liu Wuxie said to Yuan Fengnan and Patriarch Gongsun.
The three returned to the hall.
"Patriarch Gongsun, was Senior Gongsun Lu already stupid before he came back?"
Liu Wuxie's eyes fell on Patriarch Gongsun's face.
People are dead and unable to speak.
Patriarch Gongsun must have known about Gongsun Lu's situation before his death, and hoped to find some useful clues.
Since Gongsun Lu can return to the Gongsun family smoothly, it proves that he was conscious before leaving Chiyue City.
If there is no consciousness, how can it be possible to return safely.
"When I came back, I was already crazy, and I often said things we couldn't understand."
Patriarch Gongsun didn't hide anything.
When Gongsun Lu came back, his consciousness was sometimes confused, sometimes stupid, and occasionally recognized one or two people.
With the passage of time, less than three days after returning to the family, he completely fell into a state of stupidity.
"What are you talking about?"
Yuan Fengnan asked impatiently.
"He just said water, a lot of water."
Patriarch Gongsun imitated Gongsun Lu's tone and repeated a sentence he had often said these years.
"water?"
Liu Wuxie frowned.
Suddenly, the eyebrows condensed.
The bugs in Gongsun Lu's soul sea, upon closer inspection, are very similar to water flow, flowing along with memory.
Could it be that the water that Gongsun Lu was referring to were the bugs that appeared in the sea of souls?
Even he has never seen such a rare bug, and it is estimated that Patriarch Gongsun and Yuan Fengnan may not know about it.
"Is there nothing else besides that?"
Yuan Fengnan continued to ask.
"there is none left!"
Patriarch Gongsun shook his head.
He has tried various methods over the years, but none of them can solve the mystery of Chiyue City.
A look of disappointment appeared on Yuan Fengnan's face.
"Thank you, Patriarch Gongsun, if you need anything in the future, just ask, our Yuan family will never refuse."
Yuan Fengnan stood up and hugged Patriarch Gongsun.
Since there are no other valuable clues, we can only leave.
"I won't send two of them."
Patriarch Gongsun stood up, hugged the two of them, and asked the butler to send them out.
"Farewell!"
Clasping fists in return, the two left the hall.
After leaving the gate of Gongsun's house, Yuan Fengnan flew towards the distance with Liu Wuxie.
After flying to the mountains, Liu Wuxie stopped suddenly.
"No evil, is there anything else?"
Yuan Fengnan stopped and asked Liu Wuxie.
"Patriarch Gongsun has concealed many things from us. I plan to go deep into the ancestral hall at night."
Liu Wuxie looked at the Gongsun family in the distance. He could feel that the head of the Gongsun family had many unspeakable secrets, and he seemed unwilling to mention them in front of them.
"Have you found any clues?"
Yuan Fengnan asked immediately.
Sneaking into a first-class family in the middle of the night, once discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It's a small matter to be ashamed, and it will be difficult for the Yuan family and Baguio Palace to hold their heads up in the fairy world in the future.So Yuan Fengnan had to ask clearly if it was worth taking the risk.
