Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Lin Jiu promised Qiu Sheng that he would help him find the body when he came back from work today. This made Qiu Sheng, who had been worried, feel relieved.

Wencai stayed behind to look after the house as usual, while he carried the tools for finding the well and followed Lin Jiu and Jingshang into Shicheng's carriage.

"Good morning, your father didn't come today?" Jingzhi asked.

Shi Cheng: "He went to the mountain to wait for you. Oh, and my cousin went with him too."

Jingzhi was puzzled, "Uncle grandpa?"

Shi Cheng puffed out his chest like Tom Cat and said, "Oh, it's the famous Maoshan Senior Brother Shi Jian, my Grandpa Shi."

Jingzhi was startled and subconsciously looked back at Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu raised his hand and pressed it down calmly, signaling everyone to stay calm.

He asked casually:

"Oh? Doesn't my senior brother need to help the Ren family find a shop?"

Shi Cheng's voice was filled with admiration and pride. "You may not know this, but Grandpa Shi found the location yesterday. My dad ran into him just now when he was leaving the house. He said he wanted to go, so my dad asked them to go with him."

Shi Cheng thought, now that two powerful Taoist priests have come, it seems his fish can be saved!

they?

It seems that Shi Jian takes his good son with him wherever he goes.

Shi Cheng was secretly delighted.

Little did they know that the three people sitting in the carriage had vigilance in their eyes.

There was no place to sit, so Qiu Sheng, who could only sit at their feet, raised his head and said, "Master, uncle..."

Lin Jiu made a shushing gesture, looked up at Shi Cheng's back, and said in a low voice:

"Go up the mountain first."

Jingzhi also hesitated to speak, "Ajiu, I...what should I do?"

Lin Jiu tightly grasped Jingzhi's hand on his knee, paused for a few seconds, and then said firmly:

"Sooner or later he will realize that no matter whether he agrees or not, no one can change what I have decided."

Qiu Sheng thought to himself that his master was awesome.

He was always frightened by the expressionless face of his uncle-master and the merciless thunder palm he used when fighting ghosts.

Is his master going to confront others for the sake of his future mistress?

Shi Cheng, who was outside, thought they were talking about digging a well, so he turned his head and said:

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu. My Grandpa Shi said that since there's a problem with the water, digging a well is the right thing to do. He said he won't interfere."

Jingzhi: They are not talking about the same thing.

The three of them sighed in unison.

……

On the way up the mountain, Jingzhi dodged and hid herself behind Lin Jiu.

There seemed to be an aura about Shi Jian that she was extremely afraid of, yet somewhat familiar with.

Avoid if you can, and never attack head-on.

However, it would be nice if the truth could be as she wished.

Before he reached the crowd, a ball of lightning with an explosive aura flew out from Shi Jian's hand in the blink of an eye and hit Jingzhi in the face.

There is a slope behind, making it difficult to retreat. There is a cliff on the right and Lin Jiu on the left, so he can't hide either.

Just when Jingzhi was about to take this attack head-on, Lin Jiu quickly took out the Bagua Mirror to block in front of her, and bounced his senior brother's Thunder Fist back onto a tree nearby.

His Bagua mirror couldn't withstand the force of the thunder and lightning, and it shattered with a snap.

"Oh!"

The tree trunk was charred black, with even a faint glow of fire, and residual lightning like thin threads running through the trunk.

Jingzhi, who survived the disaster, finally realized that what she was afraid of was thunder.

Shi Jian was good at controlling thunder and lightning, so she asked why she was afraid of him whenever she saw him.

"Lin Fengjiao, what are you doing?" Shi Jian shouted angrily, waking up the shocked crowd.

Lin Jiu took a step forward and said, "Brother, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Shi Jian stared at Jingzhi with his eyes, as if he would stab her to death with a thunder fist if she made any unusual movement. Jingzhi trembled and quickly went down a step to hide herself behind Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng stepped forward with his chest puffed out, blocking his uncle's sight.

"Humph! We are all birds of a feather. If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. You are no good either."

After scolding Qiu Sheng, he turned his head and squinted at Lin Jiu with a cold smile: "Oh, I want to see what you have to say."

Village chief Shi Dafu was stunned.

What happened? Aren’t they brothers? Why did they start fighting as soon as they met?

Can this well be opened today?

There were two factions on the top of the mountain.

Qiu Sheng and Jing Zhi stood on the right. Shi Dafu invited Lin Jiu to come, so he also came over and stood on their side.

Shi Shaojian stood alone on the left. Shi Cheng looked around and chose to trust his uncle and walked to the left.

After all, family members are more reliable, aren’t they?

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Apart from the two people talking under a tree not far away, the only sounds on the top of the mountain were the whistling wind and the gurgling water.

The conversation was not loud enough for normal people to hear.

She heard it.

Lin Jiu still didn't believe it. He stared into Shi Jian's eyes and asked, "Brother, I just want to ask you one question. Did you have any involvement in this series of events?"

Shi Jian, who had been staring at Jingzhi not far away, suddenly twitched his eyes when he heard his question. He caught a glimpse of his son smiling softly in the sunlight. He coughed lightly and pointed at Jingzhi:

"Don't change the subject. Master taught you, but you've already forgotten what you learned? You're associating with monsters, and you're so self-righteous!"

Lin Jiu reached out and pressed down Shi Jian's finger. "Brother, I think you know who is trying to change the subject."

He glanced at Jingzhi, who stretched her head out and stuck out her tongue at him. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and shook his head.

She was still not afraid. Even at this time, she still had the mood to make faces at him.

Jingzhi: With Ajiu protecting her, she has nothing to be afraid of.

Shi Jian waved his sleeve and knocked his hand away. "Let's put things in perspective. If you don't explain clearly today, I'll make her die!"

Lin Jiu sighed and handed over two leaves.

"Open your eyes and see for yourself, she has a bit of a bloody and sinister aura about her."

Shi Jian doesn't believe in this evil. The idea of ​​punishing evil and killing ghosts and demons is deeply buried in his heart.

"Do you think I will be fooled by you?" He did not take it. Instead, he took out two pomelo leaf-shaped magic tools from the pendant he was carrying and used them to open his eyes.

His eyes lit up, and just as he looked carefully, Shi Jian suddenly narrowed his eyes, and was almost blinded by Jingzhi, who was like a little sun behind Qiu Sheng.

Shi Jian: What's going on? Has your merits turned you into a spirit?

Not sure, check again.

The lightning power condensed in his hand gradually dissipated. He took a step forward, wanting to see it clearly, but Lin Jiu immediately stretched out his hand to block it.

"Jingzhi, come here." Lin Jiu called out.

"No!" Jingzhi pointed at Shi Jian, "He will beat me to death!"

Shi Jian: If she hadn't died after he struck her with that palm, he would have been killed by the power of her merits.

Shi Jian rolled his eyes, somewhat impatient.

Seeing that things were turning around, Lin Jiu quickly waved to Jingzhi again, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jingzhi climbed onto Qiu Sheng's shoulders and looked towards Shi Jian. Seeing that there was no murderous intent in his eyes, only a roll of the eyes, she felt inexplicably relieved.

Being rolled eyes is better than being electrocuted.

The past is the past.

She thought so and hesitated for a long time. She had never walked so slowly in her entire life.

It took her almost two minutes to walk the ten-meter distance.

Shi Jian watched the "Gongde Spirit" walking towards him, and quickly waved his sleeves to remove his third eye to avoid being blinded.

Lin Jiu: "How is it, Senior Brother, can you see clearly?"

Shi Jian was speechless. He snorted coldly, but still insisted, "So what? Can you guarantee that she will never do anything bad in her life?"

Lin Jiu took Jingzhi's hand and held it up for him to see. "If she does something bad, I, Lin Jiu, will go to Mount Maoshan to apologize."

Shi Jian was shocked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Jiu gave a distant yet polite smile, "She is my fiancée, Lin Jiu. After a while, I will hand over the invitations to all my fellow disciples and Master."

He bent down slightly and bowed to Shi Jian, "I have finished explaining my affairs. Now... it's time for you to answer my question just now, Senior Brother."

Jingzhi felt like she was being dragged by him to meet his parents. She picked at the corner of her clothes with her fingers, lowered her head, and her face was very red.

A pair of round eyes, like a vigilant little animal, secretly looked at Shi Jian's face.

This guy, he really won’t kill her?

No, why did he look so guilty when Lin Jiu asked him a question?

Whether to do it or not is just a matter of one word. Why did he hesitate for so long?

If we don't get an answer, the auspicious time for digging the well will pass.

Lin Jiu sighed and glanced obscurely towards Shi Shaojian's position.

His senior brother had lived an upright life. If he had not done anything bad, he would have slapped him in the face if he was questioned like this. Why would he hesitate for so long?

It seems that there is something hidden.

"Brother, I just want you to know that Junior Brother Qianhe almost died, his apprentice, your nephew Xiaobei, also died, and Junior Sister was almost killed by the Red and White Twins.

If disciples in the sect were to kill each other, even if I reported it to the master, he would be the one who was right."

The more Shi Jian listened, the more frightened he became.

That bastard only said that he used some magic and some unlucky spells to trick Lin Jiu, but it turned out that he was smiling but hiding a dagger. He kept silent and gave him a big shit.

Shi Jian closed his eyes and suppressed the surging anger.

"I will give you an explanation."

After saying this, Shi Jian turned around, waving his sleeves, and slapped his own son's head crooked.

"Get off the mountain!"

The smile on Shi Shaojian's face could no longer be maintained. He covered his face and looked at Shi Jian's back in shock, then glanced at Lin Jiu and the others sinisterly. Then, with a look of grievance on his face, he staggered to catch up with Shi Jian.

"Master, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you hate him?"

"From now on, I am no longer your master."

"Why, why?"

Dare you ask why?

Shi Jian looked at this person with a complicated expression.

After doing such a thing, he was too ashamed to see Lin Jiu.

Fortunately, Lin Jiu is a tight-lipped person.

Otherwise, if this gets out, will Shi Jian still be able to live as a human being?!

Moreover, in three months, he will inherit Maoshan, and he will never allow anyone to stand in his way.

Even Jian'er can't do that.

"Starting today, you are grounded for a month."

……

Jingzhi held Lin Jiu's hand, looked at the two figures from behind and asked, "Ajiu? Is it what I thought?"

Lin Jiu recalled the look in Shi Shaojian's eyes before he left, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"That should be the case. I think he is unaware of the reason why Senior Brother is angry."

Family affection can sometimes blind people.

Not all relatives are good people. He hopes that his senior brother will stop helping the evil.

After all, he holds a high position, and Shi Jian is very strong. If he really attacks, the casualties of innocent people will only be greater.

Lin Jiu: "Let's go, first find the location of the well, and then we'll talk about my brother's matter when we get back."

Jingzhi: "Okay."

……
