Chapter 75
The voice was projected through a secret transmission method, and it sounded clearly in the ears of the three people, but it was difficult to distinguish the position of the speaker. Jiang Xunyi striked the air with his palm, the power shaking the courtyard door open, and said loudly, Please come in.
After he spoke, a middle-aged man in a plain blue robe had already appeared before the door. This man was ugly, his complexion sickly with both blues and yellows, but he was tall. Jiang Xunyi glanced over and joined his hands in a salute. Family Head Dus disguise technique must have been passed on byLing Ci. It is truly subtle.
Du Li stepped forward, his eyes silently sweeping across his face. Although there was no expression on his face, there was a soft emotion expressed in his eyes, and he slowly said, Second brother.
Jiang Xunyis sarcastic smile froze, his heart trembled, and a mysterious emotion subtly appeared. His lips moved slightly, but he did not speak.
Yun Xie smiled. I heard that Family Head Du was sick. I thought it was an illness of the physique. But looking at it, is it a mental affliction? I told you last time that this is Jiang Xunyi, not Du Heng. Your memory is very bad, sir.
Du Li said lightly, I lost a brother, you lost a close friend. Naturally everyone hopes the one that lives is the one in his heart.Sect Master Yun should understand better than I.
Yun Xie was taken aback for a moment, and did not have any reply for once.
Jiang Xunyi laughed for a while. Patriarch Du is humorous. Your words are really interesting. The visitor is a guest, so its not good to ask you to stand here. Why not come in for a cup of tea?
Without a change in his composure, he pushed Yun Xie and then led Du Li directly into Yun Xies room.However, Du Li looked back at Jiang Xunyis door before turning back thoughtfully.
Entering the room and sitting down, Jiang Xunyi said, Yu Hong, go and pour the tea.
Yu Hong made an agreeing noise and got up. Yun Xie then added, You dont have to come back after you pour the tea. In fact, Family Head Du may not be very thirsty, but it is estimated that he does not want you to hear his words.
Yu Hong did not know whether to laugh or cry, so he looked over at Jiang Xunyi. Seeing Jiang Xunyi wave his hand, he nodded and left the room.
Yun Xie smiled and said, Now, can Family Head Du talk about what business brought you here?
Du Li nodded slightly at him and then looked around, seeming a little uneasy, before his hands rised up to join in front of his chest.
Wait a minute. Jiang Xunyis eyes flashed, and he suddenly interrupted him. Family Head Du, you should be tired after walking so far. As for the barrier of isolation and defense, let me cast it.
Du Li knew that Jiang Xunyi was defending against him, but he was not angry. He raised his hand gracefully, and said, Please.
Jiang Xunyi did not waste time on courtesy and immediately raised his hand to form a seal. From his hand signs, the air around them fluctuated, and a glow that had the appearance of waves slowly appeared and disappeared. The most advanced isolation spell was cast on the surrounding area. Not only were the people outside unable to get in, but the people within could not leave without Jiang Xunyis permission.
This is equivalent to detaining a dignified Patriarch in front of others, an action that was truly arrogant. However, Du Li smiled as he watched Jiang Xunyis actions without any intention to stop him. His disguised appearance was originally quite mediocre, and especially when sitting with Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi, it was very lacking. However, when he smiled like this, there was an indescribable calmness that people dared not look down on.
Yun Xie put his hands on his knees and fixed his eyes on Du Lis face. Family Head Du, I truly cannot fathom what situation can cause someone like you to act so secretively to this point. But both the Solar Envy sect and the Hidden Spirit sect have extremely limited friendship with the Du family. If you are here to give money and gifts as a landlord, I will laugh. You can put those things down and leave. But if you are here for help, then you had better keep your mouth shut.
Du Li smiled.Sect Master Yun, I heard that there is a Buddhist scripture cave behind Solar Envy Mountain that contains thousands of books. In addition, there are several secret rooms that carries books about sect secrets and bizarre mysteries. These texts can only be studied by the Sect Master and the successors who will inherit the title. I dont know if Sect Master Yun has seen the record of the Bamuna Curse?
Yun Xie was very calm. I have never entered a Buddhist scripture cave.
This was the truth. He was so lazy every day, there was practically grass growing on him, so how could he have gone to the Buddhist scripture cave?What studying, pei!
Jiang Xunyi spoke concisely: If there are two baby boys born on the same day in a family, each are left with half of a life.
Du Li replied, Everyone says that Young Master Jiang is knowledgeable and well-versed, an avid reader of the classics, and he really deserves this title
Yun Xies voice was indifferent. Do you still dare to think he is your silly brother now?
Du Li, startled, smiled slightly and shook his head. It couldnt be discerned whether he thought he himself was ridiculous or if he didnt accept what Yun Xie said.
He then continued, As Young Master Jiang said, a family that has been cursed by the Bamuna curse will have two baby boys born on the same day in each generation, and one of these two baby boys has life but no soul, and the other has a soul but no life. Only by using a sacrificial technique to combine the lives and souls of the two can one of them be saved. 700 years ago, a mortal enemy in the Du family used his life to curse the family, and even when it reached my generation, it has still not been unraveled.
Yun Xie thought of Wu Tianqis words before, and immediately reacted. So this is the truth behind the real Du Hengs death. It seems that Family Head Du was the one who had been saved? Congratulations. Congratulations.
His tone was not so much congratulatory, but rather gloating. Du Li was clearly startled by Yun Xies words, but he calmed down quickly. Sect Master Yun is well informed and sharp in mind. How astounding.
Yun Xie, what are you talking about? Jiang Xunyi said.
Yun Xie briefly summarized Wu Tianqis words, but he was a little nervous, afraid that Jiang Xunyi would be overwhelmed, so he explained, I didnt want to hide it from you, I just didnt think there was any need to mention it deliberately and cause you to overthink.
Jiang Xunyi wasnt bothered, and waved his hand freely. He had been trained to be a sect master ever since he was a child and was very sensitive to these things. He had already understood the subtleties -because the two boys were born on the same day, unless they were twins, they were born to two different mothers, so no matter which one the head of the family chooses, it will cause resentment from the other side of the family. Over time, every birth brought disaster.Whats more, there were not many women who cultivated immortality. The main support for a family was young children. How can the Du family thrive like this?Each generation must be increasingly inferior compared to the last.
I heard that there have been some disturbances in the Du family recently. Is it related to theBamunacurse? Jiang Xunyi pondered for a moment, and then added, Or to put it differently, are the strange occurences in Tengge City related to your Du family?
Du Lis fingers clicked on the table with a crisp sound. He laughed before he said, This kid
Yun Xie frowned with displeased at the familiar tone, but when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Xunyi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stand up. A porcelain cup placed on the case table was accidentally overturned by him, and the sound of shattering in the overly quiet room was an unexplained shock.
Du Lis smile froze. Yun Xie didnt have time to pay attention to him, and he also stood up, grabbing Jiang Xunyis arm with one hand as he said, AXun?
Jiang Xunyi glanced at Yun Xie, eyes blank as if he had just wandered back from another country, before his eyes gradually cleared.
He patted the back of Yun Xies hand, gently moved his hand away, and sat back down with a dry cough. Sorry, I suddenly thought of something else and forgot myself for a moment. May the two forgive me.
Yun Xies hand hung in the empty air. It was not until Jiang Xunyi sat back in the chair that he withdrew his hand in relief, flicked his sleeves, and also sat down.His eyes turned to Du Lis, and his expression was not good.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird. Jiang Xunyi took a silent breath and tried to turn his chaotic thoughts back to the case. First, there was the inexplicable death of the bridegrooms in the city, then Du Rui went crazy and killed himself, his wife, and his children The Bamuna Curse
A lightbulb in Jiang Xunyis mind flashed on, and he finally connected the dots, discovering the most critical question. I dont know if Uncle Ling has another son besides Du Rui?
When Jiang Xunyi stood just now, he caused Yun Xie and Du Li to both become absent-minded. On the other hand, he himself forgot this happened while talking, which really made people speechless.Du Li was stunned for a while before realizing that Jiang Xunyi was talking to himself. Well yes, it seems that Young Master Jiang has already guessed it. Back then, my uncles two sons Du Rui and Du Qi were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, and naturally, he was not exempt from Bamunas curse. Because Du Rui is the child of his legitimate wife, his uncle finally chose to let him survive. It was calm and peaceful for many years, but for some reason, a few days ago, he suddenly went crazy and began to murder It happened so suddenly, and I had no time to stop it. I had only rushed over and was able to stop him before he was able to make the killing strike on himself.
Jiang Xunyi said, So you are suspecting that it was caused by Bamunascurse?
Du Li nodded. Besides that, I really cant find any other reason.
Yun Xie frowned. Isnt Du Rui alive? Did he say anything?
He doesnt want to say anything, Du Li said. He has been locked up. But the matter is difficult to make public, and it would also not be a solution for me to keep him forever. However, if Young Master Jiang went back to participate in this matter as a son of the legitimate branch, the situation would be very different. Young Master Jiang, to be honest, your background as the son of a woman from the underworld has been made public. Such a background is very harmful to your reputation. Wouldnt you consider changing your identity and starting anew? With the reputation of the Du family and your talent, the future will be limitless.
Jiang Xunyi was unmoved, speaking like an old god. I am proud of such a unique background.
Du Li:
Yun Xie looked at him and suddenly approached Jiang Xunyi to whisper in his ear, AXun, the way he hesitates while talking makes him seem like he is not a good person, so dont talk nonsense with him. Lets go back to the room. Is your body better? Does your waist still hurt? Do you want me to knead it for you again?
Jiang Xunyi smiled lightly. Okay.
He stomped on Yun Xies foot and stood up. Just as he was about to speak, Du Li had already stood up with him, and took out something before Jiang Xunyi. Sect Master Yun, Du Li took the liberty to come today, and I have intruded on you, so I had brought a gift here. I dont know if it is to your taste. May I invite Sect Master Yun totake a look?
Yun Xie raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the things in Du Lis hands. Before he could do anything, Jiang Xunyis face had already morphed into pleasant surprise, and he stepped forward, voice faltering as he said, Yun Xie, look at it, this is the Yingxue Cangshi!
The 37th Sect Master of the Solar Envy Sect, You Ming, was killed by an enemy, and after death, his corpse was left exposed to the wilderness. Yingxue Cangshi was a magic treasure of the Solar Envy Sect Masters that had been carried on his body, and with his death, it went missing.This incident became a source of bitterness for the Solar Envy Sect even until the death of Yun Xies master, who explained that Yun Xie must find the Yingxue Cangshi. Jiang Xunyi naturally knew about this incident, but he didnt expect it to be in Du Lis hands.
He walked to Du Lis side in two steps and fixed his eyes on the white and flawless round jade. In an instant, he confirmed that it was definitely authentic and said hurriedly: You
AXun! Yun Xie stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xunyi back to his side, smiling. Im not excited, what are you excited about?
His eyes fell upon the Yingxue Cangshi. It doesnt matter whether this thing is authentic or not. Family Head Du should put it away after showing it off. For you to give such a substantial gift for no reason, it makes it even more obvious that what you are asking for is not simple. To say it simply, I dare not accept it.
If you dont accept it, then I will. Its me who has to do the work anyways, why are you busy rejecting? Jiang Xunyi broke free from him and took the Yingxue Cangshi over without any explanation. Du Li did not stop him.Jiang Xunyi raised his hand to interrupt Yun Xies yet to be uttered words. Yun Xie, dont tell me any nonsense about not caring about this thing. I grew up watching Martial Uncle exhausting manpower and material resources to find the Yingxue Cangshi. By his side, I saw that he had entrusted this to you before his death. Think about your master. Are you still stopping me?
Yun Xie opened his mouth, lips moving wordlessly, but he couldnt refute Jiang Xunyis words, so he smiled bitterly.He had no father or mother since he was a child, and he was raised in a sect. He had a deep affection for his master, no less than between a father and son. How could he not want to take the Yingxue Cangshi back?However, he just did not want Jiang Xunyi to take any risks.He couldnt hide anything from Jiang Xunyi, so he couldnt find a way to explain it.
Jiang Xunyi directly clapped. Family Head Du, this transaction is done. Tomorrow morning, I will return to the Du family as Du Heng.
Yun Xie pursed his lips and took a deep glance at Jiang Xunyi.
Du Li nodded and said, That would be good. The two are worthy of being fateful friends since childhood. The brotherhood is deep and truly enviable.
After He finished saying this, he did not leave, standing still and watching Jiang Xunyi for a while. Hecouldnt help but say, Second brother
Yun Xie immediately decided it was time to see off the guests, and he walked to the door. Oh, Patriarch Du doesnt want to sit for a while? If you dont sit, then take care when you leave. I wont see you off!
Jiang Xunyi smiled, making a hand seal to unlock the barrier and allow Du Li to leave.
After Du Li left, Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi glanced at each other. Jiang Xunyi opened his hands, and in his palm was the Yingxue Cangshi. Take it.
Yun Xie did not answer, instead whispering, AXun
Jiang Xunyi sneered, and went straight forward to stuff this hard-won artifact into Yun Xies shirt. He then patted his chest frivolously, and said, Sect Master Yun, take it. I had slept with you last night, take this as compensation.
Yun Xie was in a daze, and subconsciously clutched his chest. Jiang Xunyi had already idly put his hands behind his back and walked out of the room.
The reason why Du Li was so happy to give the Yingxue Cangshi to Jiang Xunyi was because he was well-known for his faithfulness to promises.It is conceivable that if it were Yun Xie in the position, it is estimated that no one will be willing to give him things directly.
Yun Xie also knew that he couldnt stop Jiang Xunyi, so he didnt bother to argue, instead naturally accompanying him to Dus house the next morning.
The doorman of the Du family heard the knock on the door early in the morning, and felt annoyed. He only pushed open a side door slightly before he said in a rough voice, Who?
Jiang Xunyis voice was calm and quiet. Zheng Xing, dont you recognize me?
All of Tengge Citys power belonged to the Du family. As the saying goes, those who can guard the prime ministers door is a seven-rank official[1]. Zheng Xing was the Du familys concierge, and naturally became arrogant. When he heard Jiang Xunyi called his name directly, his heart was annoyed, and he couldnt help looking up. However, with one glance, he was shocked.
The person in front of him wore a light blue brocade, a jade crown tying his hair up and silver belt looped around his waist. His outfit made his skin appear like jade, his temperament cold, but his eyebrows were thick and dark, and his features delicate as if painted. With one glance, his eyes were assaulted by the brilliance, and he almost dared not to look directly.
Next to him stood a young man in white, appearance extremely handsome and gentle, but when he glanced over with a smile, Zheng Xing felt an inexplicable chill.
These two were ghosts?Or immortals?He looked away in embarrassment, but then suddenly seemed to think of something again, and his head whipped back, a finger extending to point at Jiang Xunyi.
You, arent you that fool? he exclaimed.
Just as he raised his arm, a sharp pain shot through him. Yun Xie stood still without didnt move, only smiling as he said, Who are you saying is a fool?
Zheng Xing said, He, heAiyo, oh my god!
Just as he uttered two syllables, he felt like there was a knife slashing the flesh of his arm, and he almost wanted to roll all over the floor. He immediately knew that the person in front of him was not good to provoke. I am wrong, I am wrong, yes, is the second son back? This villain confesses ah ah ah!
Jiang Xunyi frowned slightly. So noisy.
As soon as he said this, Zheng Xing suddenly felt that the sharp pain that made him want to die had disappeared. Yun Xie smiled as if nothing had happened. Go and open the front door, your second son is back.
